April in commemoration of Earth Day.
Next week a meeting time and place will
be announced in the CP J.
Environmental activism does not live in
books and file cabinets. It's important to
take an extra step to be involved in a
dialogue with other people. You can get involved in a variety of issues: the preservation of the Deschutes Falls and the Capitol
Forest Planning Project, protests of train
shipments of nuclear missile motors to
Bangkor, and macro-analysis seminars on
National Defense and Disarmament
through the Thurston County Nuclear
Freeze Campaign.
The ERC would like to continue staffing an information table in the CAB during lunchtimes. If there is a ·specific issue
you'd like to promote or you're interested
in promoting some general ' information
about the resources available through ERC
come by the Center or talk with Andy or
Karen, leave a message in their CAB 305
mailbox, or call 866-6000 X6784 during office hours . Hours are posted on the door .

This week on the bulletin board you can
read results of an interview with Dan Evans
about his stance on environmental issues.
Keep watching for more information on
Washington wilderness issues.

Just in time for the
Beaux Arts Ball
By Patsy Blackstock
Despite an atypical winter this year,
there are still enough of us walking around
with th e winter blues to take notice. The
ca lendar mark s mid-way through the
quarter wi th the end in sig ht , but 5 weeks
is a long way off. Lots of folks have colds,
co ughs, sore throats and flu; its been cold
out, but fortunately, not too wet. The
dark est a nd dreariest season hosts the most
difficult quarter of the year, the "make it
or break it" quarter. For some, it is the
next to last of their college career, graduation lying just around the bend. For those
of us who will be ending our undergraduate
work thi s year, it is not exactly an event
we ~an say we are looking forward to
without some trepidation. The bleak world
,ituation and Reaganomics here at home
have us sh iveri ng about losing the safe environment of The Evergreen State College,
in excha nge for an elusive prosperous job
to go with o ur degree.
Isn't this depressing? You may have
noticed a ge neral feeling in the air, not just
o n camp us. Winter blues settles
everyw here. It isolates us from support
because everyone is needing support right
now. It hampers good self-care. Exercise
is just not as appealing indoors and the
lower angle of th e sun mea ns our fresh
food s a re not as vital or good tasting so
we su iTer from slight nutrient deficiencies ,
not to mention the loss of the pleasure of
soak ing up a few ra ys. Additionally, it can
put an economic strain on our lives with
higher heat and lighting bills, which
preclude spending on other forms of
recreation and entertainment:
Most of us know when we've got this
seaso nal disorder, but mild and extreme
cases somet imes escape detection due to the
nature of the condi tion itself; it loves to
take hold a nd bring in the fog so we just
keep on being grumpy , depressed and
isolated without knowing why (usually
thinking that it is somet hing inherently
wrong with ourselves). Symptoms include
an exaggera tion in vices, more coffee, more
cigarettes, more a lcohol; mood swings;
trouble sleeping, either not getting enough
or not gell ing out of bed; everyth mg feel ing blah , no excitement a nd flare to life;
a desire to eat a lo t of c hoco late; in other
words, a sort of genera l sense of despair.
Read on. All is not hopeless during
winter quarter, es pecially this· year with the
va riety of weather we 've been experienc-

mg . At least it' s not stuck!
When tackling the winter blues, it's important to remember to do it with gusto
a nd passion as well as with respect and sensitivity to those around us . Get them to join
in if you can, gentle, persistent nudging
works! As northern hemisphere dwellers
for the most part, we've all been expe riencing this for a long time and the old, patterned re sponses to winter and its
dreariness run deep. Since TESC students
are well known for their creative, spontaneous responses to things, I write with
a lot of hope for a permanent cure for the
winter blues to emerge on this campus.
Some remedies : Encouragement of any
spo ntaneous activity, alone or with others,
along with a conscious effort to break the
daily routines, even if in the smallest of
ways. Laughing uncontrollably at things
that threaten to halt forward progress, the
sillier the better. (A word of caution about
joke content that can be hurtful to others.)
Or act silly just to act silly . Get .off campus. Tight wad Tuesday is a good deal at
Capital Mall for movie seekers, $2.00 per
person. Call a friend. Talk with people
about anything good and new. Try and
stay away from sinking into the temptation
to talk about everything that's not great.
Fill your bathtub with hot water and get
into it. Go dancing or just get yourself to
dance when you feel particularly heavy on
your feel.
Basically, it's just changing the channel
and not giv ing in to the overwhelming
aspects of Ii fe when it's raining 2 y," in one
day. Tryon some of these ideas, DO
THEM! Seek out your creative, spontaneou s self and go for it. If you need encouragement or more ideas, we're always
over in the counseling center, 8-5, 5 days
a week. Let's end the winter blues.

You can steal something very small and
still be arrested for shoplifting. Concerning shoplifting, the courts have the it's-notthe-money-it's-the-principle attitude. People have paid dearly for eating three grapes
or a handful of dried coconut while shopping. The penalty's the same for eating
grapes without pay in g for them as it is for
discreetly ushering a coffee-maker out of
Frederick and Nelson's. Opening a package
in the store and eating the contents while
you browse may be considered shoplif'.ing,

even if your intent was to present the empty
package to the cashier · and pay before
leaving.
I apologize if I have made it sou 11(\ like
unreasonable people are going to do lots
of awful, unreasonable things to you if you
are caught shoplifting. I only mean to
make it clear that people are going to do
lots of awful things to you if you are caught
shoplifting. Many stores are working very
hard to catch and prosecute shoplifters; we
see many of their customers .
A final point: it is never a good idea to
ignore a court action being taken against
you. If you fail to appear on criminal
charges, a warrant may be issued for your
arrest.
They might not come and get you, but next
time you are stopped for not using hand
signals when turning your tricycle from
Fourth Avenue onto Plum Street you
would wind up in jail. I f you try to elude
someone who is su ing you or fail to appear
on a court date , you lose by default. I f you
are caught shoplifting, or have other legal
problems or questions, contact Self Help
Legal Aid. The office is loca ted in LIB

and have other hours posted on our door.

Stan Keen does not believe in condem ning what's ·· happe nin g in co nt emporary
music. The visiting faculty musician at The
Everg reen State Co llege wants , inst ea d, to
exp lore and exp lain c ha nges t hat have occurred , particularly in contemporary
classical music, and examine the impact of
those changes .
Keen, a composer, conductor, and performer rated by the Seattle Times as "a real
pro" in the mu sic business , will share hi s
perceptions in t he cont inuin g Piece of My
Mind Series Wednesday, Feb ruary 15,
beginning·at 12:10 p .m . at the First Unitcd
Methodist C hurch (1224 East Legion Way)
in downtown Olympia.
Keen believes "a strong arg ument can be
made that we have used up a nd exhausted
certain forms of music," a nd that what
we're now hearing at classical concert, "are
muse um "pieces rellecrive of another time
a nd another culture."
"Modern classical composers and artists
have become custod ians of a form of music
that began to di e at the beginning of thi s
ce ntury," Keen explains.
Keen will offer a brief history of the
evolution of contemporary classical music
from it s origins in the church to the opera
houses of Europe and the co ncert halls of
America. He'll compare its evolution in the
western world with the musical tradition s
of other cultures lind illustrate his points
with mu sical selections .
His free Wednesday afternoon talk is
cosponsored by Evergreen, Olympia

bring their lunches to the program;

Porn magazine
sales linked
to rape
CONCORD, N.H. (UPI) States with the highest readership of men' s
magazines also have the highest incidence of
reported rapes, University of New Hampshire found in a study linkin g "macho" attitudes with violent sex.
Alaska claimed the highest per cap it a
rapes, 72 per 100,000, and the hi ghest per cent of male magazine readers, about a fif th
of the statc's adu lt population, th e resear chers sa id.
Nevada was No.2 in reported rapes a nd
in sales of pornographic magazines, the study
found in detecting a comlllon thread of high
repo rted rape and pornography in a number
of Western states .
"West Coast s t ate~ tend to be high in SC\
magazine readership and rape ," said Murray Straus, a UNH socio logist and co-author
of the s tudy. "The fromicr, with its so n of
macho or ient a tion - part of th at is to usc
force to get what you want."
Ca liforni a, Colorado and Arizona were
also listed among the top ten states III
reported rapes and men' s magazine sales, the
study sa id .
North Dakota had the lowest reponed
rape level, while men's magazin e sales rank ed
31st. Iowa, Maine, Rhode Island and West
Virginia were also ranked low in sa les and
reported rapes.
Straus sa id his study was based on st rict
sa les figures of eight men' s magazines such
as Hustler and Playboy, and 1979 FBI crime
reports . The study was co-authored by Larrv
Barron of UNH, and required over a year
of research . "It's not a perfect correlation
by any means," Straus said. "But it's a
statistically close association."
Straus also warned that the st udy does not
necessairly mean pornography leads to rape.
Asked about the study, a rape counselor
said it contradicted what she had previously
believed . Deanna Crawford of the rape a nd
Assault Support Services in Nashua said pornography is not the reason why men rape.
"There are a lot of men who read those
magazines that do not rape or abuse
women," said Ms. Crawford. "I don't
believe that reading a pornographic magazine
will make men go out and rape. It's not a
sexually motivated crime. It's a crime of
anger and violence."

There are many great reasons to shoplift.
It's cheap; you can c;>wn more things if you
shoplift. It's revenge against obnoxious
salespeople or overpriced merchandise. It's
politically correct behavior for oppress·ed
people. It's fun and exciting. It's quick. It's
easy. But it's against the law. When
something's against the law it can be very
expensive; there might even be ethical questions involved . This article is to help you
consider the expense. At Self Help Legal
Aid (SHLAP), we have helped many people consider the expense of being caught
shoplifting.
In Thurston County, ;,hoplifting is
classified as third degree theft, a misdemeanor, maximum penalty of $\000 and
one year in jail. The standard penalty,
while substantially less, is still at least $200
to $300 for a first offense . If you are
caught a second time you will almost certainly spend 15 days in jail in addition to
the usual fine. Recently, SHLAP has dealt
with shoplifting cases involving Safeway,
Yardbirds, Peterson's, Mark-It and the
Evergreen Bookstore. All of these stores
prosecute shoplifters, including first-time
o ffenders.
Some people wi II be ab le to get the
penalties reduced a bit. Very few people.
Generally, looking repentant , innocent,
and un-Greener- like isn ' t going to help. An
attorney can help, but the money you don't
pay in fines will probably about equal what
you pay the a ttorney . You pay attorneys
about $60 per hour, at least $100 to join
you at your shoplifting trial. That an attorney ·will be provided if you ca nnot afford one is a myth. If you are going to jail,
if you are broke, then the judge may decide
to grant your req uest. Not being able to afford a lawyer - who really can? - doesn't
mean you 're broke enoug h.
Cons ider also that a convic tion for
shoplifting goes on your record. Someone
could find your record someday a nd decide
that shoplifting looks bad. Or, if you ever
end up in court again, some judge may find
your record and decide that you look worse
than he first thought you looked.
These are the things that happen under
the criminal anti-shoplifting law. There is
another law . It is called the Civil AntiShoplifting Law (RCW 4 .24.230). This law
makes it possible for the store to sue you
for $100 to $200 plus the price of whatever
you stole. This money goes to the store,
and it is not in any way connected to the
criminal proceedings that I have talked
about above . It's another $200" sort of

Defacing Dan is act
of censorship
Dear Editor:
I am writing in response to actions of an
unknown individual who has irresponsibly
vented personal feelings about Dan Evans.
As part of my work with the Environmental Resource Center I spend several hours
each week in the preparation and production of the Issue of the Week which appears on the ERC board by SAGA on the
first floor of the CAB.
This past week the "issue" was Dan
Evans ' stands on environmental issues. I
went to the trouble of obtaining, and paying for, a picture of Evans to accompany
the layout. The next day the picture had
been defaced, so I responded by writing a
note and attatching it to the picture. a few
days later the picture was defaced further
and my note was scratched out. Later the
same day, the picture and note were torn
down .
It distresses me that someone feels the

need to express their personal views in such
an immature and destructive manner and
it angers me that someone has such little
respect for another's work.
At first, I though it was a spur of the
moment action by some one who really
dis likes Dan Evans and who was unaware
of the work that went into the board. This
seems unlikely since it has continued. I
hope that whoever is responsible will read
this and reconsider their actions when faced with a similar situation in the future.
There are many ways to express a personal/political opinion. Defacing a public
display is an act of individual censorship
which deprives others of their right to free
speech. It also represents an immature and
irresponsible attitude which I am surprised to find at Evergreen.

Vet financial aid
info corrected
Dear Veteran Readers:
Th e lett er I put in last week's C PJ was
choc k full of misinforma tion . I apologi ze
fo r mi sleading you . Let me correct the
misinterpreta tions a nd typos I handed you
last week.
You may be eligible for Pell Grants,
retroactive from Fall 1983, not Fall '82 . As
you may ha ve reali zed Pell Grant s are admini stered o n a fi scal ycar bas is. The Fall
o f th e prese nt year is the earliest the
retroactive c la use will reach back. I hope
th at hasn't created an y fal se hopes that I'm
busy das hin g. Th at's typo number one.
Then I seem to have printed Guara nteed
Student Loa n as General Student Loan.
OO Ps aga in.
G uara nt eell Student Loan s (GSL ' s) and
Pell G ra nts a re based on financial need.
T hat wasn' t expli cit in the February 2nd
note. The point or my over effusive, incautious prose is that you may be eligible
for financial aid, above and beyond the
money the Veteran's Administration contracted to provide you in exchange for your
years with the U.S. military (or those of
your parent). These grants and loans are
available to all eligible citizens . Vou , being a U.S. citizen, may be eligible too,
despite your veteran's standing .
The Pell Grant is a grant. The GSL is
a low interest student loan that you obtain
through a participating bank. The interest

is 8 percent for new borrowers . More than
your willingness to pay interest is required
to be eligible ror the loan . Need is also a
criteria he re.
Lastly I a m not working this quarter as
a Peer Counselor at the Veterans Office .
The phone number I gave for messages
mak es the false impression that the Feb .
2 'Communique' comes to you through the
sanction of the VA office. Both letters
come from one veteran student to other
veterans attempting to also make the most
of their resources for education. This current letter ha s been checked over by the
Financial Aid office thi s time as th e information is their business.
The 'People to' check with about your
specific situation are at the Financial Aid
office, x6205, and Pa ul Bean, director of
the Veteran's Affairs office x6254. The
counselors at both offices can help you get
every resource you are eligible for. Go talk
to them . Fill out you Aid forms soon, long
before the March 15th dead line.
My apologies again for the garbled
presentation of the last 'Communique' . Be
aware in any case that you may be eligible
for financial resources beyond your
veteran's benefits . This is based on the
same levels of need as other U .S. citizens.
In cooperation,
Jim Felton

Dear Editor:
On behalf of all the Evergreen Evening
Van Service drivers I would like to
apologize to all who were inconvenienced
by our failure to provide the additional service necessary last week when IT stopped
running and left us all standing at our bus
stops . It was clear from the start that the
five or six part-time drivers would not be
sufficient to cover the shi fts , and we never
hoped to be able to make all the shifts, but
we earnestly tried to do the best we could.
I! wasn't enough, and we are sorry .
We did not capriciously drive when it
suited us . On one occasion, I drove from
6:30 a . m. to 7:00 p.m . taking time out on-

Iy for a chemistry and a calculus lecture.
Other drivers made similar sacrifices and
generally attended only those classes they
felt they absolutely could not miss.
One thing that made our efforts worthwhile, though, is the thanks we got from
Todd Littman, (CP J, Feb 2). It's encouragement like that which will keep us
out there plugging next time, when IT
won't return our calls, when all our contingency plans fall through, while our
homework piles up, while we hitch-hike
home .
Sincerely yours,
David Innes; Introduction to Natural
Science .

Coming Attraction:

Real world???
Dear Editor:
I know I should be surprised at reading
the names of Alan Aida, Katherine Hepburn, or even George Burns as possible
speakers for this year's graduation
ceremonies, (CP J, Feb 2) but I'm not. I'm
embarrassed.
It doesn't surprise me that only 100 of
the 600 graduates "whom have spent
several years wrapped up in Evergreen's
unique system" bothered voting on
something so obviously and directly affecting them. And it doesn't surprise me to
see media hyped personalities top the list
of candidates. Why should it ; the same

moronic choices have been made each of
the four years I've attended Evergreen.
I'm embarrassed to tell my family and
friends that the majority of students who
voted preferred television and movie stars
to Pulitzer Prize winners, political activists,
and educators. Perhaps we should ask
ourselves 'what unique perspectives do we
have to offer society?' rather than 'what
unique perspectives do Alan, Kate, or
George have to offer us?'
Graduation??? Real World??? See you
at the movies.

What nationally known person(s) deserves a Valentine

Yet another Evergreen tradition

Performers aren't paid to babysit
Reverend C hum leigh 's performance last week was a near disaster. It needn't have
been . There were problems with the tightrope act and some of the props didn't func tion precisely as they should but the real problem was the children who a tt ended .
or perha ps more accurately the parents who brought their children.
Throu ghout t he performance, kids, five or six, perhaps younger would wander on
stage in the middle of a monologue or as the Reverend was setting up a routine and
disrupt his performance. Since most of the gags are heavily dependent on the build
up it was annoying at best to have to be distracted by the antics of some miniature
showboat time and time again. This was not some Saturday afternoon kiddie show
complete with commercials and singalongs, this was a professional vaudeville performance geared more toward college students than munchkins.
The distressin g part was the obvious lack, of concern shown by the so-called parents
as they exerted only a token effort at keeping their children in line. Even when

Three weeks have passed since the city buses froze in their tracks - plenty of time
to forget the frustration, aggravation and exasperation of not having reliable public
transport. We don't think this should be forgotten quite so quickly . Although this
is the first time in Evergreen's -history that the roads have been closed due to inclement weather, all indications are it won't be the last. As municipal funds continue
to shrink , road maintenance will always lag behind and the politicos will continue
to shut the roads rather than · depend on repairs that might not take place. Because
this event will surely come to pass down the road, both Intercity Transit (In and
the Evergreen Van Service need to reexamine their current contingency plans as a
springboard toward better service in the future .
It is hard to fault the vans for their erratic service. They were given less than 24
hours notice (on a Sunday no less) and had no way to secure enough drivers to provide full-time service for that week. In fact, no one knew how long the buses would
remain motionless. Finally, IT apparently offered drivers to Evergreen but then never
followed up on that offer. Calling them only produced little-needed double-tall<.
Where the van service broke down was in communicating with its ridership. Callers
to the Services and Activities office (Van Service message phone) were given incorrect and contradictory information. It's one thing to know in advance that alternate
transportation is needed. It is quite another to be assured service is available then
find yourself stranded when no van materializes.

Chumleigh resorted to th rowing bread to (a t?) the kids and making poi nt ed references
to the situation (" Evergreen childre n have no parents. When th e daycares close they

The number o f children at evening social event s seems to have increased this year.
Kids running a round at da nces, concerts, etc . do nothing to enha nce the surr o un dings, nor do they add to the popularity of the event. Spo nsors o f show s sho uld take
a close look at the type o f e vent they a re presenting and either no t a llow c hildren

Clearly, Van Service needs to improve its internal organization and provide a better
system of getting information to the people it serves .
What van service there was, however, was provided by dedicated students who
sacrified classes, study time and leisure time in an effort to get what students they
could to Evergreen and back horne again. Student drivers David Innes, Amber Shinn,
Lisa Dean, Joey Silver and numerous others deserve a large "THANK YOU" for
their selflessness. We should be grateful that at a time when the county, municipal
government and public utilities cut us off abruptly with nary an apology, our fellow
students did what they could to fill a large void. Their effort is commendable .

Fall in love with
Washington Center
Twinkling lights, helium-filled red and
white balloons, jazz music and a Mexican
feast will greet sweethearts of The
Washington Center for the performing arts
at a gala Valentine's Celebration from 7
to II p.m. Tuesday, February 14 in the
Hotel Olympia Ballroom .
Designed as "a fun time," the evening
party invites supporters of the longawaited, IOOO-seat community theater to
"fall in love with The Washington Center"
while they dine and dance amidst what
Capitol Campaign Chairman Lynn Brunton describes as "a forest of valentine
decorations.
"We've been preparing to launch our
fundraising campaign for more than six
months," Brunton reported, "and we
wanted to stage an event that was just plain
fun for al\ those who've been working so
hard - and for all who are as anxious as
we are for the Center's opening night next
year."
Entertainment will be provided by
former Tumwater Jazz Conservatory
favorites Red Kelly on bass, Jack Perciful
on piano, and singer Jan Stentz, and Olympia chef Arnold Ball will prepare and serve
a Mexican buffet dinner.
Highlight of the evening for the more
than 250 persons who've signed on to help
the Center raise capital funds will be a progress report from Bruton and Percy Bean,
Washington Center Board president.
"By Tuesday night we'll have set a final
campaign goal and be able to report how
much money we've already raised through
major gifts from foundations, corporations, professionals and othel'S," Bruton
said . "We've got lots of really good news

Cooper Point Journal

to report - and we're anxious to share it
with all those who've helped make The
Washington Center almost a reality. "
The Center, more than 20 years in the
planning, got its first major boost in 1974
when the Capitol Area Association for the
Performing Arts was formed. Two years
later the City of Olympia committed
surplus property in West Olympia for the
Center, and in 1979 the Washington State
Legislature appropriated a $1 .5 million
matching grant for construction.
In 1980 the City of Olympia appointed
a Cultural Arts Advisory Committee. At
that committee's recommendation, the City appropriated and additional $1 .5 million
grant to the project in 1982 and replaced
the committee with the Washington Center
Boards of Directors. That board qui ck ly
formed a non-profit corporation dedicated
"to the construction and operation of a
quality performing arts center."
In 1982 the City also purchased the old
Olympic Theatre and adjacent garage, pro·
perty on which the new theater will be constructed during the next 18 months .
This fall Bruton, Bean and a team of
volunteers began raising funds to complete
the Center, which is scheduled for opening in mid-1985 . Results of their work to
date will be reported Tuesday night when,
as Bruton predicted, "we'll celebrate and
share the excitement of taking another major step toward opening our own performing arts theater."
Tickets to The Washington Center
celebration are $7 per person and may be
purchased at the Center Office, 117 W.
Legion Way. Reservations may be made by
calling 753-8585 weekdays between 8 a.m.
and 5 p.m.

A warm ' wind blows ttirough alternative community

By Cliff Mlssen

J

I

The orange and yellow hues of inc andescent lamps and bare woods poured out of
the manied and large windows of the rustic
farm house onto the starlit trail as we ap·
proached. A hundred yards away we could
already hear the easy laughter and voices
of the occupants - some of them friends
who had preceeded us in the long car and
ferry boat trip from Olympia to Whidbey
Island. We left the dirt trail and crossed
the lawn to the front porch which was
merrily framed in an assortment of stringed bells, plants, and ceramic suns, and
liberally strewn with shoes of every shape
and size in various modes of repose. Nestled in the corner amongst the pleasant litter was a small and unassuming wood carving which whispered the abode's name to
the hesitant visitor: Chinook. As we crossed the threshold, I felt a certain sort of
childish excitment and release which,
thankfully, would not desert me the entire
weekend . Grinning quietly to myself, I felt
no need to rationalize or dismiss the odd
feeling that I was entering "home."
This last weekend's trip to Chinook was
sponsored by Innerplace and enjoyed by
seventeen Evergreen students . Most of us
had come along to see an alternative
lifestyle, attracted by the notion of an in-

tentional community and learning center,
Some of us were looking for a healthy
retreat to the hills. None of us were
disappointed.
Chinook, which gets its name from the
Indian word for "warm wind blowing,"
is an eleven year old experiment in creating
a different spiritual community. According
to its newsletter, "Chinook's work is bas·
ed on the affirmation that the future holds
the gift of this new world order for the
human family. Through our educational
work, community life, 'a nd village building,
we are doing what we can to inspire this
vision, to teach it, and to live it out."
Chinook has twenty-five members who live
in the Clinton area, either on the Chinook
lands or their own adjacent property, six
full-time staff members, and over three
hundred associate members who support
the community through their donations of
money and time. Its center is an old Finnish farmstead which contains a rich and
varied collection of old homes, log houses,
and utterly irrestistible delapidated sheds.
Each of the homes are decorated and furnished in a natural and open manner,
which windows and skylights aplenty.
As working with the land and being close
to the natural surroundings is o'ne of the
major emphasises of Chinook, it was appropriate that we Greenies were drafted to

become a part of the community's oncea-month Work Day. We joined in with all
the Chinook members, many associate
members, and some others, who were there
to take part in a Robert Bly poetry
workshop and to work on the houses and
gardens and woods. Some of us turned
compost, some planted raspberry bushes,
some put siding in the new pump house,
while some did intense cleaning and cooking . Everbody worked hard. But with the
bright sun cutting through the Puget cold,
the warm camaradie of like-minded enthusiasts, and the willingess of an environment which seemed to trust and delight in
its caretaker, our labors became more a
dance than a duty.
After a fine evening of videos and conversation, some of us returned to our
cabins while others relaxed in the sauna.
The next morning many of us made our
way through the woods to another guest
house, affectionately known as Granny's,
for a surprisingly traditional eucharist service. Then we regrouped back at the farmhouse for fun .and games and to make
preparations for an afternoon potluck. The
menu was vegetarian, organic, and
unusually delicious. The company, from aU
over Washington, was energetic and
optimistic.
We didn't talk much about the idea of

intentional communities or debate the ways
and means of finding a more ideal future.
Like friends who share a common language
"and goals, we needed few words to make
our points and tended to rely upon gestures
and actions instead; the senses absorbing
more than the intellect could alone.
I came away from the weekend still feeling as though Chinook is a home. [ am still
much delighted to know that a working
alternative community exists and is growing, and I believe it is "pioneers" like these
building Chinook who lead the way to better and less violent lifestyles in the future,
Just as describing Chinook in words is
impossible, to understand it by touching
is easy. Currently, Chinook is looking
towards offering an academic program in
the future. They are working with several
colleges around the country, including
Evergreen, to set up such a program.
Meanwhile, they offer numerous
workshops, from building environmentally
sound housing to personal empowerment,
and will be holding a conference on
economics this Spring. They also offer the
opportunity for personal retreats at a
nominal cost and invite everyone to join
them for their Work Day and Pot luck on
the first Saturday and Sunday of each
month.

Fest with a message leaves participant fogged

With the sudden onslaught of winter
quarter boredom setting in, I showed exaggerated but heart felt zeal when I accepted a ride to the Fog Festival this week
end. Of the five of us that went, four were
totally unfamiliar with the annual event.
The person who informed us only knew
that there would be a lot of people gathering at the coast, each with a different
twisted sense of reality.
We drove a mustard colored Nova to the
Pacific coast, anticipating an event that
would equal the unpredictability of the
ocean it was next to. We neared Ocean
Shores in the mid afternoon, praising Bacchus (an ancient greek God of wine and
revelry) with an eye out for any and ail
signs of merriment.
At first there appeared to be only a few
four wheel drives randomly racing around
the beach. Convinced that this was ail there

dous uproar from the sympathetic
bystanders. These instances were constantly happening at some place on the beach,
but for the most part, people just stood
around the fires with blank expressions on
their faces. For some reason searing my
eyelashes and drinking beer with a bunch
of social zombies was not our idea of the
ultimate party. With one last inspection of
the bonfires, it was only too obvious that
the Fog Festival was not what the rumors
promised. So we left the flashing red cop
lights, the woman dancing on a truck to
AC/OC and the sick drunkards staring into the fires for that happenin' place: Olympia, Washington . We enjoyed ourselves but
the rumors are going to have to be damn
good to get me back next year, or more
than likely I'll be just bored enough to go
watch the whole thing all over again.

whiney tunes. Then their real intentions,
and the true meaning of the name became
abrubtly clear: Serviceman was in service
of the Lord. Between numbers, the leader
of group began to warn us of the dangers
of living without God's protection. Luckily
we were a couple hundred yards away at
the time. The crowd of people that surrounded the band lead me to believe that
these coastal folk took this advice seriously and partied accordingly. Nothing was
further from the truth. When we returned
to the beach, the fires had not only grown
in size but in number as well. People drove
recklessly between hundreds of bodies and
broken beer bottles. They were chased by
cops, and of course they were"crankin' the
heavy metal." One of the highlights of the
evening was a three wheel Honda being
chased by one of the many patrol cars.
Several four wheelers obstructed the cops'
path, allowing the Honda to escape the
clutches of the law and creating a tremen-

was, we swallowed more libations and
moved to another locaton. It was at this
new site that we discovered nearly a mile
of brightly colored buses, vans, jacked up
pickups, volkswagons, plus assorted tents
and fires. The sun was setting slowly, shedding a mellifluous mood on all present. We
walked through the horde of vans and
volkswagons looking for friendly faces .
There was talk of a band later that evening.
When the sun had set, we were still walking amongst the various camps. People
were beginning to build roaring fires, drink
heavily, and "crank their tunes." Heavy
metal. We were still looking for friendly
faces. When the band finally began to play,
it was enough to drive us back to the cheap
pizza parlor where we had just killed the
past half hour. They were "Serviceman."
At first they came across as anot her group

Evergreen's athletic programs make tracks
Track and field, the newest addition to
The Evergreen State College athletic program, is being directed by three coaches in
the Geoduck's initial season this winter.
Pete Steil berg, Mike Marsh and Sandy
Butler are sharing coaching duties for the
season opener on March 10 at the
Sal zeman Relays at Pacific Lutheran
University in Tacoma.
Steilberg, who coached the Geoduck's
cross country team last fall, is concentrating on distance runners, long jumpers
and javelin throwers.
Excited about the upcoming season,
Steilberg says, "[love track; it's great to
actually have bodies seriously training for
their indi vidual bests. Though we'll be
competing as a club sport, we're not going to be intimidated by intercollegiate
competitors," he vows.
Joining Steilberg on the c0aching staff
is Marsh, an experienced weight training
specia li st. He's responsible for developing
an off-season lifting program and finetuning weight training for the competitive
season. He's focusing his coaching efforts

on high jumpers, and shot and discus
throwers.
"I'm hoping to design a weight program
that stimulates students to lift in the offseason and add the cutting edge to their
per-formance during the season," Marsh
says.
Butler, well known for her success as a
basketball coach, says, "Coaching track
and field is my first love .
"I love sharing an athlete's joy when she
or he has bettered her or his time by
seconds or jumped higher than ever
before," she comments. "Unlike team
competition, track and field al lows me to
devote my attention and energy to individual athletes and their performances."
Butler is coaching runners for middle
distances, sprints, hurdles and the relay
teams.
Though the season doesn't begin for
three weeks, the Evergreen coaching trio
is already working 5 days a week with a
core of more than 20 men and women
athletes - "a good turnout for our first
season," adds Steil berg.

Austin SI. John will be attempting to
establish another first at Evergreen. He will
be trying to qualify for his third straight
appearance at the national NAIA swimming championship. SI. John was the first
student to represent TESC at the National
Championship and if he can repeat; he wiU
be the 1st greener to attend nationals three
straight years.
During the Oregon State Invitational
held in Corvallis February 2-4, SI. 10hn
finished 6th in the 50 yard freestyle, .01
seconds off the nationals qualifying time.
He also placed 5th in the 100 yard butterfly, finishing .02 seconds off the qualifying
time and 5th in the 100 yard freestyle, .3
seconds away from nationals.
SI. John's Oregon State performance
has Coach Robbie Johnson saying, "I'm
anti~ipating Austin qualifying for Nationals durin~ the NAJA Regionals beimz

held here at Evergreen beginning February
15."
When asked about his star women swimmers, Martha Grazier and Marybeth
Berney, he responded, "J'm guardedly
hopeful they can qualify. Both have to cut
two seconds off their best times. They are
still [ Y2 to 2 seconds away from National
qualifying times. It is very possible that
they will both be ready for regionals and
nationals qualification."
The team finished II th overall out of 15
schools. The women's relay team put in a
fine performance finishing 8th while the
men fmished II th in their heat of the 400
freestyle relay.
This corning weekend, the team will
make a swing through the Portland area
visiting Portland Community College and
Willamette University. The NAIA
Regional Swim Meet is scheduled for
Evergreen's Pool on February 16-18.

The Sailing Geoducks had no chance to
make up their 4th place Saturday finish
when Sunday'S racing schedule, at the
Team Eliminations held at the University
of British Columbia, February 4 and 5, was
cancelled because of no wind.
Lou Powers, the sailing coach said,
"The regatta was very well planned and
organized. The weather and camaraderie
were fantastic. It was a shame we couldn't
fir.»s~ the Sunday racing schedule, but the
winds were so light and variable, race officials had to cancel Sunday's events."
Saturday's weather conditions provided
crews with 12 knots northerly breezes for
the five competing schools. The order of

R&B band plays fun, non-sexist ·music
By Christopher Bingham
"There's something that was hit in me
when I first heard rhythm and blues. It was
like all the other music that I used to listen
to - Led Zeppelin, Yes, Emerson Lake
and Palmer and all that that I grew up on
- it all went out the window. I started
realizing that there was so much more out
there to music, and rhythm and blues just
spoke to me," says Art Patience of Olympia's Midnight Rhythm Band.
They will perform at Evergreen's Beaux
Arts Ball this Friday at 8 p.m. opening for
two Latin-style dance bands, Bochinche
and EI Cajunto Fabuloso . New to the

Olympia music scene, they say their music
is full of their own interpretation but the
basis of their style is traditional Chicago
rhythm and blues . Says Howard Rose,
"We try to monkey with things as much
as possible."
The Midnight Rhythm Band consists of
Steve Groves on guitar, Patrick Padovan
(formerly of Factory Girls) on drums, Art
Patience on harmonica, Howard Rose on
bass and Gary Vaughn on guitar and
vocals. Says Patience, "We want to be a
part of the resurgence of rhythm and blues
popularity. It's one of those parts of the
culture in this country that was dying out
for awhile and bands lik e us are starting

to bring it back again. People are really liking it and have been dancing to it. We
definitely want to be danceable music and
not a rock band."
Planning for the band began in January
of 1983 and they've been rehearsing since
September . They opened recently at
Evegreen for Oliver Lake and Jump up.
An important aspect of their style is an
awareness of their audience. Says Rose, "I .
think reaching people is real important. I
hate going to see bands who are just standing up there and doing their own thing
and not really reaching people . I saw an
African drum band recently in Seattle, at
Bumbershoot - Obo Adi . He was really
great, and had a really good rapport with
the audience. It wasn't like this 'we're the
musicians and you're the lowly audience.'
I think one of the things our band has going for it is the feeling. We all really enjoy
playing. It's really a great outlet for communicating with people and just enjoying
yourself." Part of the band's awareness involves an understanding of what they're
communicating. Says Patience "We're
very ca reful to keep the sexist end of traditional rhythm and blues out of our music .
I think we've accomplished lhat very well
so far. We do a lot of music on the other
side of rhythm and blues ...:.- family affairs,
relationships and all that."
Though not what you would call a
political band, Rose fcels their music has
a message. "It's an affirmative message-

See, hear, experience the
man, poet, phenomenon
By C hristopher Malarkey
This comi ng weekend looks lik e it's full
of fun for Olympia (and Shelton) resident s.
Fr iday night we have the Beaux Arts Ba ll.
It's here again and I'm excited. Haven't
really thought about a co~tume yet but I'm
told that you can wear yo ur own version
of chi c which mean s dress up if you want
but above all else, come. Sponsored by th e
Running Club, the masquerade begins at
R p.lll. to the music of The Midnighl
Hhvlhm Hand. They're really good. A new
and promis in g O lympia band playing
danceable rhythm and blues. Great.
Taking the stage afterwards, we have EI
Cajllnlo Fabllioso, who, from what I hear
are a dynamite Latin Jazz band from Seattle. Later on Bochinche, also from the
Emera ld Ci ty, plays salsa music for the
da ncing enjoYlllent of all. That's right.
Three bands, fu nny looking people, great
dancing, mun chies, and refreshments (of
grain, g rape , and apple persuasions) for
only $4.50 student s and $5.50 general.
Drink some beer, dance a lot, but stick
around because both EI Cajllnlo Fabuioso
and Bochinche plan on joining forces for
a sixteen person co mbo finale that should
be wild. I'm rcally exc ited.
And then on Saturday . night there 's
Allen G insberg. Ginsberg. The name is
con nected wit h su,'h phenomenons as the
Beat Ge neration and obscenity trials.
Ginsberg has been ca lled a guru for the
whole sixties generation, a prominent
figure who broke cultural and literary
houndries to the applause and condemnation of many. He is possibly this country's
most famou s living poet and is the author
of such co ntroversial work s as Huwl and
Fall oj A merica, for which he was awarded the National Book Award . . A llen
Ginsbe rg will be here to share his reflections of a continuing literary revolution.

that people can instigate their own change.
Part of making a change in a political way
is to get people to feel better about
themselves. That's the first thing that has
to be worked on, I think. Well, maybe not
the first thing, but it has to work concurrently with political activity - get people
to wake up and feel better about
themselves. Start doing something."
So go to the Beaux Arts ball this Friday
and see the Midnight Rhythm Band,
Bochinche and EI Cajunto Fabuloso . It's
an Evergreen tradition you won't want to
miss.

by Shannon O'Neill
The seminar is one of the most important aspects of an Evergreen r ducation. As
such, it is important that the seminar be
thoroughly researched and understqod .
After months of intensive research and
observation, the following life forms were
identified in seminars at Evergreen:
1. Homo 'I erbiculus This person uses
words that are not known to anyone but
himself. Very often these words are used
in place of much simpler words that are
probably more appropriate. Home Verbieulus has the power to create insecurity
in some of the other students in the
seminar. If you feel your confidence dropping in the presence of one of these people, write down a few of the words he uses
and look them up in the dictionary. I f you
are unable to find them in an English dictionary, try Latin, Greek, French, Ancient
Egyptian and Medieval Portuguese. If the
words don't turn up in any of these, you
can safely assume that Homo Verbiculus
has made them up. This probably means
that he is working on his own dictionary.
At your next seminar, praise him on his ingenuity and ask him to provide the class
with copies of the work in progress.
2. Homo Profoundus This is the person
who, regardless. of the subject being

talion, you can count on Homo Funnius
to make a joke. This person also grins,
snickers, giggles, and occasionally laughs
hysterically during seminar. This can be irritating, as laughte r from across the room
tends to invalidate one's attempt at a
serious point or revelation. There is no
quick cure for Homo Funnius, but a few
quarters of Evergreen seminars will probably be sobering.
9. Homo Too Serious The opposite of
Homo Funnius, this is a person who sees
no humor in anything. To this person,
those lighter moments in seminar (when someone cracks a joke about Max Weber or
Karl Marx) are NOT AMUSING. When
everyone else is laughing, Homo Too
Serious is scowling and putting on that
"This is SOOOO immature" look. If you
are a Homo Funnius, don't mess around
with a Homo Too Serious. (Ironically, it
has been noted that Homo Funnius tends
to be even more obnoxious around Homo
Too Serious!)
This completes the list temporarily, but
there are many species as yet unidentified!
Field researchers continue their important
research, and we anxiously await th eir
results!
The CP J encourages you to send us your
findings!

Allen Ginsberg
Howard Rose plays bass for the Midnight
Rhythm Band.

His recent work has taken him all over
the world and put him in contact with such
figures as Abbie Hoffman, Timothy Leary,
Kurt Vonncgut, Arthur Miller and Gary
Snyder. His image may have changed from
beads and beards to ties and business suits
but his prominence as poet and perpetuator
of alternative views has not. The man is intriguing, giftcd, eloquent and brilliant. The
opportunity to see, hear, and experience
the poet, the man , the phenomenon should
not be missed. Ginsberg. Saturday,
February II. Evans Library Lobby. 8 p.m.
$4.50 students. $5.50 general admission.
Just a reminder that EI Cajun/o
Fabulosu will return to Olympia on Sunday to play for Alive in Olympia on KAOS
starting at 8 pm. Jt shou ld be a good concert and those of you who enjoy their
music on Friday night can hear more on
Sunday in the privacy of your own home.

I don't know how it is these days, but
I hope things are different from what they
were when I was a kid. Males of my
generation were taught to believe that girls
weren't much interested in us. It was easy
[() see how this might be so. After all, we
were constantly laid thal girls were' 'sugar
and spice and everything nice," while us
lot of boys were described as being' 'snakes
and snails and puppy dog tails. " What
were we to think? How could two such
disparate groups ever tolerate each other,
let a lone get down to the serious business
of love and like.
Still, there came a time when like them
we did. It was a terrible time in that most
of us wcre, a) confused by the familiar sensation, and b) daunted by our prospecls of
successfully interesting any of them in any
of us. Without being told, we knew that
snakes and snail s and puppy dog's tails
were not the most compelling, alluring, attractive or seductive commodities in Creation and we further suspected thesc thin gs

to be even less magnetic to such creatures
as we sought: those girls composed of sugar
and spice and what-not.
The sense of inadequacy thus produced
led most of us into our primary Courting
Mode which was to make ourselves as obnoxious and pesky as possible in hopes of
gaining the attentions of the girls. We
weren't fool enough to think that this
would make them love us or like us: we
simply hoped to wear them down just as
a termite or other pest works its way into
harder substances by sheer determination,
persistence, and wi ll.
In my recollection, it worked for some
of the boys - usually for those whose
nat ural predilections and personalities
made them fairly offensive and overbearin g to begin with. I, on the other hand, was
not as successful as some others. Oh, it
wasn't for want of trying. I used all the
sunning and subtlety I could mu ster at lhe
time . I lifted their skirts to make them
blush; I called them names; I put frogs in

their lunch pails; I endeavored to get them
I perpetually offered
myself as a patient for games of "Nurse."
None of these brilliant ploys seemed to
work. Then - and this worst of all when I began to notice just which boys
were atlracting fema le atlention, I came to
wonder if girls were as nice as I'd been lead
to believe. The fact that exquisite, little
Mary Ann would let Jack Reilly hold her
hand raised serious doubt about female
judgment and discretion. This was the very
same Jack Reilly I'd seen drink a Mason
jar full of water that had thirty-two live
tadpoles in it. When he'd finished, he faked a belch and smiled proudly as though
he'd just run the four minute mile. This
was the same Jack Reill y who'd jumped
down the hole of a two-hole privvy on a
dare. It took him two hours to get o ut
becausc no one would help him. I can tell
you this, though; Jack' s mother was sugar
and spice to the core. She sent him to the
creek with a bar of lye soap and then made
to wrestle; and,

Anyway, it took some time, but eventually I got the hang of how to woo

much that just seeing her made IllY teeth

I had to do lhen was to pretend complete
