Barton under fire for questionable memo
By Allison C. Green
other special assessments which their
members contribute out of their
paychecks!. .. Unions now find that they
have to sign up more dues-paying members
if they are going to be able to keep paying
the high salaries, expenses and other
overhead costs they have incurred."
• "Getting you to sign a union authorization card represents the union's first step
toward accomplishing its goals of having
you pay union dues on a regular basis, as
well as initiation fees, specia l assessments,
political contributions and the like, into the
union's treasury. Viewed in this light, it is
easy to understand why union representatives would devote so much time and attention to trying to get you to sign their
cards. "
• "If the union becomes your bargaining representative, long negotiations may
follow, during which time it is entirely
possible that you and your fellow
employees would not receive any wage increases since most business-smart
employers withhold economic improvements until a final contract is concluded, rather t han agreeing to such
benefits on a piece-meal basis. "
• "Should you decide to defy the union's
[strike] order and not go on strike, you
could be heavily fined by the union and
could be subject to threats and other acts
of intimidation or harassment, to both you
and your family.
These are but a few of the pussible
negative repercussions that could eventually follow from signing a uni o ,1 ~ard. We
suspect that the union, in it s enthusiasm
to 'sign you up,' has neglected to tell you
about these possibilities. "
• "Q. What should I do if the union
organizer tells me that most of my fellow
employees have already signed up and that
if I don't sign I will no longer be part of
the group'!
.
A. Don't fall for this old tactic. Union
organizers are professionals at what they
do. They are experts at trying to convince
employees into signing authorization cards.
Most people prefer to go a long with their
Jay Barton, Evergreen presidential candidate, denied charges Tuesday that he
tried to convince employees of the University of Alaska system, where he is president, to refrain from joining a union.
Charges were made by Steven Kant,
Evergreen classified staff and union
member, on Barton's second day of campus interviews. At the campus-wide question and answe r session February 28, Kant
referred to a memo signed by Barton and
dated January 31, 1984. It was sent to all
3,000 University of Alaska faculty and
staff members.
In the memo Barton states: "Some time
during the coming weeks and months, you
may be approached by a union organizer
who asks you to sign an authorization
card .... The decision to sign or not to sign
a union authorization card should not be
made lightly .. .. 1 encourage you to carefully
consider the following questions and
answers. "
Barton claims it was his responsibility to
give employees information on the implications of organizing. To Kant's questions
he said, "I'd like to see the decisions made
with as best judgement as possible. That
was the reason 1 wrote [toJ the staff. The
General Counsel answered a series of questions that had come up from the personnel office and we sent this information to
the staff so they had the best possible way
- [knowing] not only the union promises
on organization, but also some of the other
implications of that decision - [to) make
the right decision . I'd love to have that opportunity here."
The five page memo makes the following assertions:
• [Unions) are interested in you because
of the additional income your potential
membership dues and assessm~nts will
bring into the union's treasury .... Unlike
most businesses ... they have no tangible
product to sell and are almost totally
dependent on t he dues, initiation fees, and

fri e nds and colleagues and union
o rganizers will exploit, his liuman trait to
the fullest. Just like any other salesmen,
the organi zers will brag, exaggerate and
make promises in order to sell you their services. Don't be pushed around or fooled
by the organizers' sales talk. Think and act
for yoursel f."
• "Allhough unions can and often do
make elaborate 'pie-in-the-sky' promises,
they have no authority to guarantee
anything to employees."
After the session, Kant expressed doubt
about Barton's sincerity. "What he said
was that he'd bc willing to work with peo-
pie and that it's o ur choice [whether or 11 0t
fO unionize). But 1 dOll't believe him . Wkll
he's done is just th opposite He's spent lot s
of money and time di scouraging people
from organizing ."
Kant also mentioned other labor issues
ill the University of Alaska System.

working under an expired contract since
March of 1983 . Negotiations have produced no new contract. The Alaska Labor
Relations Board held up charges of unfair

Clerical error disqualifies Greener swimmer

Allslin 51. John in aclion
By Francisco A, Chateaubriand
Evergreen swimmer Austin SI. John has
been disqualified from competing in the
NAIA national swim meet this weekend
(March 2 & 3), due to a clerical error in
the Evergreen athletic office.
According to Intercollegiate Athletic
Director Jan Lambertz, St. John, a twotime national competitor, was disqualified
because the staff member in charge of sending the eligibility forms required by the
National Association of Intercollegiate
.Athletics (NAIA) mistakenly thought the
deadline for completing them was February
15. The actual deadline was February I.
"When we discovered the error," said
Lambertz, "we were beside ourselves. The
staff member simply wrote the wrong date
down on her calender." Lambertz declined to identify the staff member involved.
Upon discovering the mistake, Lambertz
"ll

STATE COLLEGE

contacted the national officeofthe NAIA
and received verbal clearance allowing SI.
John to travel to Arkadelphia, Arkansas,
the site of the national championships.
However, when Lambertz called back to
verify, the office gave her a different story.
It seems that district officials here in the
northwest were upset at what they viewed
as Evergreen's reluctance to abide by the
rules, so they contacted the national headquaters and requested that the decision be
reverscd. It was .
Their decision, says Lambertz is an un. fortunate one: "What should be a simple
problem to solve has become an issue that
ends up hurting thc student. .. the rules of
the NAIA do not appear to be very
student-oriented."
The error with the datcs is, apparently
not an uncommon one. The NAIA requires
eligibility forms oncc each quarter - October 15, April 15 and February I.
"It's easy for a hurried staffer to make
that kind of mistake," Lambertz says.
"There's no excuse for it but it can
happen."
There is evidence to support Lambertz'
statement. Whitman College, in Walla
Walla, had six swimmers disqualified this
week for the same reason as Evergreen their registrar thought the deadline was the
-
15th also. Whitman coach Lee Coleman is
so upset with the situation she has stated
her intention to havc Whitman drop out
of the NAIA conference.
When Lambcrtz learned of Whitman ' s
predicament, which came up just days after
the decision to disqualify Evergreen was
made, she contacted district officials and
pleaded with them not to penalize Whitman the way they had Evergreen. It was
to no avail however. The district refused
to change its mind saying the precedent had
been set.
District officials could not be reached for
comment.
Lambertz isn't contemplating any drastic
measures in the way Whitman is but she
feels strongly that thewhole situation is un fair, especially 10 the st udent athlete.
"If they want 10 teach u~ a lesso n the y
should fine us, the way the NCAA does
when dealing with a similar situation. It
just isn't fair to penali ze the stude nt for
what goes on upstairs."
Austin SI. John, who qualified for na tionals in the 50 meter Freestyle and the 100
meter Butterfly, says he' s di sappo inted by
the decision but n~rus hed: "Everybody
is more bummed ou than I am," said St.
John. "I've bcen to ational s twice in the
last two years so it's not so bad. Also I have
an important dance a udition with NYU
(New York University) thi s Sunday (St.
John is studying dance and performance)
so actually this works out well for me. Now
I have more time to prepare for it.
"I am disappointed that I won't get a
chance to compete in the Butlcrny because
this is the first time I've qualified for na tional s in that cvent but it' s not the end of
the world," St John concluded
philosophically.
It' s not the end of the world for
Lambertz either but she would be much
happier if the whole incident had never occurred . "There's one thing I can tcll you
for sure," she said. "We'll never make that
mistake again."

Controversy still surrounds trial of Peltier
By Bradley P. Blum
"Economic
growth must
be slowed"
hy Margaret Grihskov
Fo(us irig his fourt h lecture on ties between the American economy and the natiun', Core ign poli(\' , Cac ult v member Irwin Zu(kerman proposed alternative
economic strategies in hi s February 22
presentation. "Eco nom ic growt h as we
know it ca nn ot continu e," he argued, and
sugge"ed that Americans must begin plan·
ning now for a s<.:a led-down rate of
economic cxpal1'io n. Gradua l withdrawal
of U.S. investment abroad also will reduce
the need for military expenditures intended to protect suc h investments, he said.
The U.S. la gs fa r behind Japan, France
and Germany in planning designed to produce a more rational economy, Zuckerman
claimed, and he described various steps th is
country can take to replace lost foreign
markets with enlarged domestic markets.
O ne tactic would be to aid regions such as
Appalachia which are suffering economic
dislocation; Americans living in such
regions, h.e noted, cannot consume at the
same rate as individuals in more prosperous areas of the U.S. A second
possibility, he said, is to encourage redu ced corporate expenditures for advert ising,
market research, fancy packag ing and intensive sales efforts. "Those peop le,"
Z uckerma n commented, referrin g to individuals employed in suc h act ivities,
"don ' t produce anything."
Zuckerman also endorsed se lect ive
mergers a nd consolidations of businesses
and indu,tries, on gro und s that larger,
more financially secu re firms can a fford to
treat both their employees and the natural
envi ronment beneficially, or at least do
more to reduce the environmental impact
of their economic activities. Businesses and
industries engaged in cut -throat competition, he maintained, have to ignore
employee and environment al needs in order
to surv ive .
Finall y, he recommended more equitable
distribution of wealt h in the U.S. as a
means of increasing purchasing power
a mon g a larger segment of the U.S population. Spreading the national in<.:omc across
more families would boost domestic consumpti o n, he argued.
Zuckerman's final lec ture, on February
29, was to provide suggestIons for peaceful
co-existence with the Russians. Because th e

Disabled learn techniques of self-defense
New Affirmative Action policy near
By Ronnie Chang
The Fourth draft of the Affirmative Action policy is making its way back into the
Evergreen spotlight. At least, the Affirmative Action Disappearing Task Force
(DTF) hopes so.
The Affirma ti ve Action DTF feels they
have a pos itive policy that will be acceptable to the Board of Trustees.
After the third draft of the policy was
rejected by the Board, the Affirmative Action DTF was created at the Board's request. The DTF itself has been divided into two subcommittees:
1. A subcommittee on Affirmative Actio n Policy.
2. A subcommittee on Intercultural
Literacy and Curriculum.
The subcommittee on policy dcals with
the issues of hiring, training, grievance procedures and the distribution of responsibi lities, among all faculty and staff.
"We are tryin g to make sure we recruit
people who add diversity," says Susan
Smith, chairman for the Affirmative Ac-
tion DTF.
One of the recommendations the policy
subcommittee will make to the Board is
that recruiter s for llew students and facul ty be the sa me color and race of the in dividual being sought. It means, ,sending
a native Indian to recruit students from
Neah Bay instead of a Caucasion or person of a different culture.
Another recommendation is to set up a
resume bank containing the resumes of
third world and women applicants. The
purpose is to give first priority preference
to those individuals when a job becomes
available at Evergreen.
The subcommittee on Intercultural
Literacy and Curric ulum , meanwhile, is
working on ways of providing cultural
diversity in the programs at Evergreen.
The new policy recommends that faculty be evaluated on their sensitivity to
cultural differences and diversity, and that
students also be evaluated in terms of their
acceptance of diversity within their
programs.
According to Chairman Smith, the new
policy stresses the point that the success of
Affirmative Action depends on all the
faculty, staff and students banding
together to make it work: "We cannot continue to throw it [the formu lati on of the
policy] off on the shoulders of the Affirmative Action Officer," says Smith. "We
are all responsible to see that Affirmative
Action happens and that it works
effectively.' ,
In the past, the formulating and updating of the policy has been the task of
the Affirmative Action officer, Rebecca
Wright, who has had little outside
assistance.
Because the new policy effects the entire
Evergreen campus, public forums will be
scheduled and everyone will have a chance
to comment and make additional suggestions for changes, but on ly if the polic y is
approved by the Affirmative Act.ion Committee and the President' s Cabinet first.

Peltier was tried before a federal court
in Fargo, North Dakota, rather than the
Cedar Rapids court that acquitted
Robideau and Butler. It has since been
discovered that Judge Robert McMann us,
who presided over the Cedar Rapids trial,
never asked for a change of venue nor to
be disqualified from the case.
However, an FBI memo, obtained '
through the Freedom of Information
.Act(FIA), concludes that the acquittal of
Robideau and Butler was attributable to
Judge McMannus, who had allowed the

The Senate's supplemental budget, including a $400,000 appropriation for The
Evergreen State College, cleared the Senate
Ways and Means Committee Monday
(Feb. 27).
The committee, chaired by Senator Jim
McDermott (D-Seattle), spent three hours
debating and voting on amendments to the
bill before giving it a "do pass" recomendation by voice vote.
The Senate supplemental budget is an
amended version of the budget passed by
the House of Representatives last month.
The changes made by the Senate mainly
amount to a reduction in the size of expenditures . Governor John Spellman has
threatened to veto any budget he considers
too extravagant and this was no doubt on
the minds of the senators when they rewrote the bill.
Evergreen's funding reflect s this.
Originally the college requested $978,000
to compensate for higher than anticipated
enrollment this year(83-84) and still higher
registration numbers for next year.
The money would have been used to hire
additional faculty and instructional SlIpport personnel, (librarians, registrar's staff,
etc.).
The budget presented by the House
Ways and Means Committee, chaired by
Dan Grimm (D-Puyallup), reduced
TESC's allocation to $770,000. This meant
that the college could have beefed up its
faculty, but not t he instructional support
sta ff.
It should be noted here that Evergreen's
total operating budget for the 1983-85
bienium was set at $29.4 million by the
1982 legislature . Enrollment for this year
surpassed the projections used at that time
and estimates for next year have bee n revised upward.

the University. The practices included
bargaining in bad faith and discriminating
against the union president by not offering him a particular teaching assignment.
On February 10,1984, the Union petitioned the Alaska Labor Relations Agency for
per1ssion to take a strike vote.
Barton described his role: "What I've
been trying to do in the last five years is
to make what was an unbelievable, industrial model contract, that was very difficult to use in the university , a little more
appropr iate . "
Barton feels unions are not the most appropriate way to govern in a university. But
he says he recognizes the right of employees
to choose their mode of governance.
.. I 'm not anti-union," Barton asserts.
But he prefers integrated bargaining, a
system that is cooperative, to collective
bargaining, a system he says polarizes people and creates an adverserial relationship
between labor and management.
March I, 1984
When Peltier came to trial in Fargo
before Judge Paul Benson, this bit of trivia
was not admitted. Nor was the testimony
of Myrtle Poor Bear, who claimed that she
had
never
met Leonard Peltier. She also claimed that
she signed the affadavits only after the FBI
took her into their Rapid City office and
told her the story of Anna May Aquash,
an AIM activist who died under mysterious
circumstances. Judge Benson ruled that
Poor Bear's testimony could not be heard
by the jury because she, the woman on
whom the FBI based its case for extradition , was an unreliable witness.
Leonard Peltier today resides in the
federal penitentiary at Marion, Illinois, serving two life sentences. He is awaiting word
from the 8th Circuit of Appeals on whether
he will be granted an evidentuary hearing .
He will be eligible for parole in the year
2015.
But now that the Senate Ways and
Means Committee has cut Evergreen's supplemental budget to $400,000, this year
doesn't count. Provided that the figure is
not further reduced, the money will be
spent to maintain an average of $2,319 per
full time student for the 1984-85 sc hool
year only.
According to Stan Marshburn,
Evergreen's legislativc liaison , things could
have been worse ... At one point, durin g the
committee' s discussion of cost cutting, it
[the TESC appropria ti o n] was zero,"said
Marshburn.
mittee, sa id the committe members were
not aware of the labor questions before
they invited Barton for the interview. But
they were aware of them before he visited.
Said Martin after t he question and answer
session, "I've got some questions I've still
got to get answered."
On other iss ues, Barton expressed his
sus picions of commericial varsity sports,
calling them a "circus." He doesn't see
Evergreen approaching the levels of
scholarship and recruiting abuse at other
universities. But he expressed concern that
as our system grows we take care in
building a program suitable for our needs .
He absolutely supports recreational sports.
Barton gave his full support for Affirmative Action policies, having written one
once for a college .
March 5 and 6 the next presidential candidate, Joan Wadlow, will be visiting campus for interviews. Wadlow is currently
dean of the College of Arts and Sciences
at the University of Wyoming. Tuesday at
noon she has lunch with students in CAB

government's case against the two.
Such damaging evidence included FBI
agents ' daily reports which revealed that
the vehicle the two agents had followed was
described at various times as a red pick-up,
a red International Scout, and a red Jeep.
Other evidence also indicated that the decision to describe the vehicle as a van was
based on the knowledge that Peltier owned a van, (which he sold before the killings
took place).

a big one." Peltier was acquitted in that
case.
The U.S. government began its efforts
at extraditing Peltier by sending the Canadian government an affidavit signed by an
Ogalala Sioux woman, Myrtle Poor Bear.
The document stated that she had lived
with Peltier and had been at the Jumping
Bull Ranch when the shootings had occurred . This was not enough for the Canadian
authorities, so the FBI sent another affidavit signed by Poor Bear to .the Canadians. This one stated that she had witnessed Peltier's execution of the two agents;
that a child, Ricky Little Boy, had also
been present at the scene; and that she had
driven the car in which Peltier had made
his escape. This document convinced the
Canadians and they handed Peltier over to
U.S. officials.

OLYMPIA FRAMEMAKERS
On June 26, 1975 two Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI) agents, travelling
highway 18 on the Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation in South Dakota, followed a
vehicle to the Jumping Bull Ranch. A gun
battle ensued, drawing in scores of other
FBI agents, including a Special Weapons
and Tactics (SWAn unit. When the
fighting ended some seven hours later, the
two agents and one Native American, Joe
Stuntz, were dead.
No arrests were made at the site of the
firing, but a few days later, American Indian Movement (AIM) members Leonard
Peltier, Robert Robideau, and Darrell
Butler were charged with the murder of the
two agents. Stuntz' death was ruled a
justifiable homicide.
This story was told by Dr. Jim
Messerschmidt Friday, February 24 in Lecture Hall 1. Messerschmidt, an assistant
professor of sociology and criminal justice
from Moorehead (Minn.) State University, was here to publicize his recently
published book, "The Trial of Leonard
Peltier." The Evergreen Political Information Center (EPIC) and the Northwest Indian Center sponsored the event.
This is what happened after the arrests
were made:
Messerschmidt has based his book on
the FBI's dossier that Peltier's attorneys
were able to obtain through the Freedom
of Information Act.
What they obtained was 12,000 pages
long. The FBI managed to retain 6,000
pages on the grounds that they were pertinent to matters of "national security."
According to Messerschmidt, those 6,000
pages have now been lost.
Peltier fled to Canada where he asked
for political asylum . Robideau and Butler,
meanwhile, were tried before a federal
court in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. During the
course of their trral, revelations of FBI
chicanery surfaced. Among other things,
it was learned that FBI agents had
tampered with witnesses in the case. As a
result, Robideau and Butler were
acquitted.
But when a man under indictment flees
the country we naturally conclude that he
is gUilty. After all, an innocent man would
want his day in court. Peltier, however, did
not believe that his innocence or guilt made
much difference. His reason for feeling this
way stemmed from an incident that occurred in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
In Milwaukee, Peltier had been pistolwhipped by two police officers, jailed, and
charged with attempting to murder the officers. That is not just his version of the
story. When he came to trial on that
charge, the girlfriend of one of the officers
testified on Peltier's behalf. She stated
that, two days prior to the incident, her
boyfriend showed her Peltier's picture and
told her that the FBI "has us hunting for

The decision by the NAIA to disqualify Evergreen swimmer Austin St. John as
well as six swimmers from Whitman college, because of a minor administrative error, was a poor one.
Because district officials are obviously more concerned with enforcing the letter
of the law than the spirit seven students are now denied an opportunity to fulfill the
goals they worked so hard to achieve .
We could understand the action taken by the commjttee if there were evidence of
a flagrant.or delibrate violation on the part of either school, but the simple truth
is that two clerks got confused about when some paperwork was due. The fact that
it happened to Whitman (a school that has been involved in athletics since the beginning of time) as well as Evergreen indicates that at least part of the problem could
lie with the NAIA's inconsistent requirements. Either way, the NAIA could have
soug ht a more appropriate course of action than the one they chose.
By punishing the athletes involved so severely, The district officials of the NAIA
have shown themselves to be petty bureaucrats concerned more with protecting their
image than pursuing the best interests of the schools and students in their conference.

What a pity.
Jesse Jacks~m's Rainbow Coalit!on seems to not have included quite everyone. After
d~ys of ~edgll1g and flat out denying he'd said anything wrong Jackson finally admlted thiS week that he used the terms "Hymie" and"Hymietown" in private conversation. Both expressions were used in reference to Jews and both are considered
offensive by many Jews.
Jackson said one reason for the delay was his desire to try to keep the doors open
:' ... th~t we have opened." But Jackson said he had to speak out because" ... my moral .
mtegrtty was at stake and when it is all said and done, even if I lose this election
and maintain my integrity, that's important to me."
Unfortunately, it is hard for us to understand how an apology translates into the
maintaining of ont's integrity. Jackson was forced into admitting his use of a racial
slur and an apology cannot change the fact he uttered it. Jackson 's assertion that
by owning up to his mistake he maintains his integrity is a falacious one. Once you
lose your virginity you can't get it back.

Greeners Speak Out
What do you think of Evergreen's
evaluation system?
By Shannon O'Neill
Dear Editor:
On Feb. 24th I went to the TESC Housing "Pit Dance" to find out that "slam
dancing" had been prohibited at Housing
dances as well as at all other campus
events . The band at the "Pit Dance" had
(0 announce that there was (0 be no "slam
dancing," if they were to be allowed (0
play. Housing had two people to stop any
"slam dancing," and make people leave if
this new rule was violated.
[ am a third year st udent and have re
sided in Housing the entire time. I have
organized dances on campus (through
Housing and other sponsors) in the CAB,
Lib. 4300, and the "Pit." [ st rongly object (0 Housing, TESC faculty, staff, or
anyone else setting standards of what style
of dance is acceptable. From what I have
heard (no official announcement has been
made), the reason for this rule is because
Ken Jacob, Director of Special Services;
Mike Hall, S & A Coordinator; and Larry
Stenberg, Dean of Students, are afraid of
violence or injury for which TESC could
potentially be liable . If they are truly worried about such law suits, and are not just
discriminating against an individual style
they don't understand, they should consider prohibiting other potentially
dangerous Housing activities, such as: ski
trips, baseball or soccer games, and hot
tubs.
This regulation could also have been
prompted by a fear that "slam dancing"
might alienate students who wish to dance
in some other manner. The effect that this
new rule had on the Feb. 24th dance, was
to alienate almost all people who wished
to dance.
If "slam dancing" is a real problem at
Housing events the Housing staff could ask
the Student Managers, part of whose job
it is to serve as a li a ison between .the
residents and the Housing Office, to consult with the residents and come up with
a workable solution . The prohibition of
"slam dancing" was not mentioned in the
list of rules which are part of the Housing
contract.
This is a restriction on students' freedom
of expression. I urge Ken Jacob, Mike
Hall, and Larry Stenberg to consider whose
needs they are actually serving, and to
reconsider this new regulation.
If we as students are made aware of a
problem, perhaps we can find our own
solutions.

Dear Editor:
[ had something to say before I sat down
to this typewriter. It seems to have escaped
me, so I'll mention the next thing on my
mind; static shocks from scuffing around
on the carpets on the third floor of the
Library Building 'in my Birkenstocks . It
seems worth noting that I seem to have
found a new way (besides coffee) to keep
myself thoroughly, if rather suddenly,
awake. Did you know that even doorframes and windowsills around here are
metal? And of course my typing table,
which I have just now settled myself down
to.
I wonder how Adam felt, in that
Michaelangelo painting where he and God
are reaching fingers toward each other. I
mean, how he felt after.
One thing about the static shock method
of Be Here Now is that it seems to knock
out whatever I was going to say, that was
so important. A state of simple wonder is
restful, sitting there with my moUth open
and my fingers poised to type. Some things
(whatever they might have been) no longer
seem to matter.
Now, you booted and high-heeled people with your coffee and your head s full
of worry , I've told you a sec ret. This is how
those organic people in those rough, dirtcolored sandals keep so wide awake and
peaceful. At. least, in carpeted areas .

"I think in a utilitarian society it
doesn't work or it's not acceptable.
It's hard to categorize evaluations,
and our society is bent on
categorizing everything and
everyone. But with . all the good
parts and bad parts of evaluations,
I still think they are important."
"I think it gives a better impression
of what a student actually learns
than a grading system would. One
of the problems is that sometimes
it can be a little too personalized
and reflect more the emotional
state the student has been in than
what has actually been learned.
Overall, if I were an employer, I'd
rather see a) some of the student's
writing, and b) some written statement about the student's work than
some generic A,B,C , D, or F!"
"It's great! Far superior to any
other means of grading. But it has
its problems . I think the system
works if people really care about
what they're writing and take the
time and effort to produce a worthwhile document. The problem
happens when evaluations must
function both as tools .for immediate feedback and as criteria
for future work. A missed assignment during a program, or a poorly
worded sentence can hurt you later
when a prospective employer is
checking your performance
record ."
Cooper Poinl Journal
"I think it is a good expression of
people's understanding of educational gain, because people's
understanding is often limited. I
think for the most part the evaluation system is pretty effective. It's
definitely beller than a grading
system because in a grading system
there is no understanding of real
substance communicated between
faculty and students. I mean, an
"A" in English has nothing to do
with reality!"
"Well, I think it works because it
gives you a clear, generally concise
view of what you did, but I've
heard that some colleges equate
evaluations with pass/fail so that
would be a disadvantage if you
wanted to transfer. Even though I
think evaluations are a good thing,
I hate writing them!"

I guess there's this band called "Peter

of chauvinist B.S. can we revist, not only
is it sexist, but it's stupid. What does this

Controversy sparked by plan -
Organic Farm may clear 2 acres of trees
By David Oshler
There has been a controversy raging
these past months among faculty, staff and
board members of the Organic Farm. The
issue sparking all the activity is whether or
nut to cut two acres of forest bordering on
the south edge of the garden area at the
farm. The reasons for the proposed timber
harvest are simple enough - to open the
garden area and green houses to more
sunlight and to grow fruit and nut trees and
some hardwoods on the cleared land. Opponents of the plan have questioned the
need to clear the full two acres, raised the
option of other possible plans and spoken
of the need for future funding to follow
through on the process any timber cut
would only begin .
The plan, as submitted to the Environmental Advisory Committee last summer, was returned to the Farm Board for
further development and for concerned
people in the college community to have
a chance to learn about it and respond. The
area of the proposed cut is typical of most
of the natural habitat on the Evergreen
campus . It is second growth forest - trees
which have grown since the original, virgin
forest was cut, maybe eighty years ago consisting mostly of douglas fir and maple
trees. Basically, the economics of the plan
are that half the trees would be traded with
the loggers for their work and then half of
the remaining timber would be traded for
milling into lumber, leaving the co llege
with a store of building materials.
Mike Maki, Adjunct Facully teaching
Agroforestry and an author of the plan,
explains the process of dealing with the
land once the trees have been cut,
specifically si te preparation , "A mid-sized
bull dozer with rake-like teeth [would be
used] to just sort of scoop some of the fern s
and things out to make a good bed to get
a legume-grass mixture go ing in the
understory ." On the question of stump
removal, Maki says, "We're talking about
l:utting the stumps real low and then leaving them, We're going to try to do a
minimum amount of site preparation - let
the root biomass of the stumps rot away
a nd be fertilizer."
Of course no one relishes t he prospect
of an ugly, barren clearcut. In addition to
the planting of grasses and legumes, Maki
o ffer s leaving some of t he live trees and
toppin g them at t hirt y feet to create a
habitat for woodpeckers and squirrels.
The cost of all thi s, Maki says, would
be covered by the deal with the loggers,
Beyond the immediate work to be done
loom s the question of long term care for
the a rea. Maki suggests that the kinds of
th ings that would be on-going needs would
be bru sh and weed control. By doin g a
reasonable site preparation, a bush hog (a
tractor mounted rotary mower) can ta ke
care of two acres in one day, twi ce a yea r.
Fe ncin g individual tr ees as t hey are
planted, Maki add s, would provide a n
eco nomical alternative to fencing the entire orchard aga inst the deer. "Once the
trees a re above th e deers' heads, yo u're
fine."
Nonetheless, there are so me people con cerned abo ut the future o f such an undertak in g. Community gardener and Farm
Board member T.c. Erickson co mme nt s:
" In the past, I have seen the neglect th at
happens as a result of the transitory nature
of th e campu s community, One of the
things I wou ld like to see would be
aca dem ic com mitm ent to a co ntinuing
agro-fo restry program, so th at if we put
in an experiment station it doesn't turn out
like so many of th e sma ll projects have
around here."

scale agriculture where trees and other permanent plants work together to compliment year-round cultivation of seasonal
food crops. Perhaps it is not an irony, but
an inevitable part of the process of individuals working together from differing
perspectives to realize a common goal.
T here have been many projects planned
and then abandoned at the Farm over the
years. Erickson took over the bee hives in
such a situation.
Right now, all involved are working with
an outside facilitator to draft an agenda for
the next Farm Board meeting on March 5.
It seems likely the Farm Board will come
together on some sort of a compromise
decision b$!tween the original plan and no
cut at all. Any plan they approve will be
passed on the Environmental Advisory
commitee for final approval and a public
hearing will be held as part of the process.
The irony behind the struggle is that
everyone involved shares roughly the same
ideal. Tha t ideal is the enlightened use of
the natural environment through small-
Finally, to get an added perspective on
the issue, I went to Steve Herman,
biologist, naturalist and long time watch
dog of the natural environment on campus. Herman has this to say on the
planned cut: Basically my feeling about the
cut is that we have a eommitttment to an
Organic Farm and a course of instruction
in Ecological Agriculture. It's something
that Evergreen can do uniquely well and
it's something that's staffed and organized in such a way that I see it poised on the
threshold of success. Still, asked if he had
any reservations about the plan, Herman
leaves us with a sobering thought. "I think
if ol1e of the reasons for the cut is to
develop an orchard, I'd like to see the funding for the development of that orchard
and the planning for it before the chainsaws start singing."
The question of funding for Agro.
forestry at Evergreen in years to come remains the achilles heal of all the hard work
planning and idealism of everyon~
involved.
Garfield Garden project
Kids learn nutrition and ecology
Well, here we are in America - where
the average vegetable travels one thousand
miles before it gets to your fridge, and
agriculture as an industry is the leading
polluter of streams and groundwater.
Why? When you start to find out just how
unsustainable America's food systems have
become in an era of cheap petroleum products, and when you begin to recognize the
factors that lead farmers with record
harvests of grain into bankruptcy, the
ecological imperative gains shape, and we
start to see where certain forms of input
may help . It took me about eighteen years
to learn what a real muffin was and to taste
that broccoli is morc than a vegetable.
Bird 's Eye and Green Giant still ha ve a
stranglehold on unliberated tastebuds nationwide. Maybe you hac a conscious mom
and were spared all that. Well, if thes e
things make sense to you, then you're on
t he road to being interested in the
following.
The Garfield Garden Project was founded a few years ago to bring to grade
schoolers the ideas of organic dynamic
ga rdening, a tangible ecology, nutrition
and food awareness, recycling and energy
conservation ideas, and more - to young
S&A survey
due March 7
people earlier on in their educational
cycles. The process encompasses a wide
range of highly integrated social, political,
experiential, academical and practical
skills, and has met with enthusiastic com'm unity response . The lessons being learned from initiating and continuing a community project such as this sometimes help
to remind and inspire people to act on their
own latent project ideas .
This project is looking for a few good
humans to work with first through fifth
graders a few times a week in the garden
(on school grounds there) and in the
classrooms, as well as to stre ngthen the
project's content and development. Four
to five committed people are needed each
quarter to do core aClivities; including
creating networks with similar endeavors
elsewhere, coordinating the educalional
materials we have, and working with the
various people and institutions involved to
solid ify the project and increase its impact.
A ll this and more as well as the actual
physical work that a wonderful garden
evokes will be going on. Those interested
in working with u s s hould have
backgrounds with food systems, ecological
small scale agr iculture, teacher certifi ca·
tion, childhood development, environmental studies, outdoor education and community relations. Experience with gardening is helpful and enjoying working with
kids is a must.
Besides the need for dedicated folks, we
very much welcome volunteers. There are
occasional garden work days, fairs, and
other events where many folks are needed
to lend hands. Artists and musicians to
lend their talents help round out presentations, and the handyperson who may build
a new creation on the grounds could receive
squashes and nasturtiums from smiling
seven year olds. One immidiate need is for
peop le with desire and some carpentry
s kills to boogie on completing the interior
of the solar greenhouse within the next few
weeks. There is a lso an ebullient herb bed
are'a thai needs attention, and more.
Internships and con tract s are availab le
each quarter for full part-time credit, and
you need not be enrolled to participate.
Please feel welcomc to join liS and the kids.

Give peace
a chance
lithography class.
This exhibit evokes the mood of that
long tradition, typified by Toulouse
Lautrec, where performing artists become
the vi sual artist's subjects, It succeeds by
partaking of a ferment that casts up
marvelous things; Musicians play, dancers
dance. The spirit of this is captured in form
and co lor. Unpretent ious, pushing few surprises at us in the way of technique and
method, the images aut henticall y renect the
reality th ey both arise from and face. This
is the warm and honest work of BillieGwen Tippett.
Watercolors, drawings and lithographs
by TESC Senior Billie-Gwen Tippet can be
seen at the Rai"nbow Restaurant in
downtown Olympia through March. T hese
works, which were designed to hang in this
specific dimly lit space, are a tribute to
Olympia's jazz scene . Recognizable por traits include a watercolor of saxophonist
Bert Wilson and a black and white
lithograph of bassist Steve Luceno.
Tippet, 38, a visual arts major pursuing
an individual contract under Bill Aldridge,
is artist-in-residenc e at Garfield School.
She created much of the work appearing
at the Rainbow in Lawery Go ld 's
