Tuesday, March 13 in the Library lobby,
and is s ponsored by Innerplace, and the
new Positive Future Center of Olympia.
Hubbard's Campaign for a Positive
Future is one which is structured in a man ner unlik e any other in the world of na tional politics. It is composed of a network
of Positive Futures Ce nters, which now
number almost one hundr ed nationwide.
These cen te rs will each work to connect
with their own communities and work to

as g lobal problems. They will also work to
identi fy and promote th ose program.s,

As Spring of 1984 approaches, the U.S.
government is becoming increasingly
desperate to show results in its attempt to
remove 14,000 of the Navajo (Dine) and
200 Hopi people from their ancestral
homeland. In recent years Congress has approved and authorized millions of dollars
for this effort, yet so far only a few families
have 'voluntarily' moved; the majority
refuse deportation.
The Hopi and Dine Indians have been
living in the four Corners area of the
Southwest (where the borderlines of
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado intersect) at Big Mountain for many
generations.
In 1921 Standard Oil discovered oil on
he Indian reservation. They were not hesiant to pursue the possibilities of exploitaion, and began pressing for leases on the

Two faculty members at The Evergreen
State College have begun new assignments
within the past weck. Kenneth Dolbeare
has ass umed the post of director of the
masters degree program in public administration (MPA), and former MPA
director Lowell "Duke" Kuehn has begun
a temporary assignment as acting assoc iat e
director of the Public Policy In stitute based a t Evergreen.
The changes, announced Tuesday,
Feb ru ary 28 by Academi c Vice President
and Provost Patrick Hill, follow weeks of
deliberations with Leona rd Mendelbaum,
director of the Institute, and the MPA
faculty.
Mandelbaum, who was hired to head the
Institute last October, recently notified Hill
that he is considering returnin g to the
faculty at Seattle University next year and
will notify Evergreen and S. U. of his decision by the first of April.
Because of that possibility and
because of what Hill called "the increasing barrage of requests the Inst itute is
receiving for help with special projects,"
Hill sa id , "it became clear the Institute
needed an associate director to help carry
the workload and, if Len leaves, provide
continuity ...
Kuehn, a faculty member in sociology
at Evergreen since 1975 and a member of
the Institute' s Board of Directors, agreed
to accept a six-mon th appointment after
which he'll return to the MPA facult y.
Dolbeare, who has taught political
science at the graduate and undergraduate
levels at Evergreen since 1981, was selected
by the MPA facult y to se rve out the remainder of Kuehn 's three-year term as
MPA director.
Campus ministries Project 1984: HOPE
Now here's something [ lik e to see: Campus Ministries of TESC, Associated
Ministries, and the Department of
Religious Studies at SI. Martin's College,
have a ll joined together to bring about Project 1984:HOPE, an interfaith community study of ideas and alternatives for the
future .
Campus·Ministries Marita Berg explains:
'The idea for the project came to me last
spring when I saw st udents, as they learned more and more about what was occuring at a global level, becoming deeply
di scouraged. [ got together with Dr. Don
Foran from St. Martin's and we decided
o try to bring some knowledgeable persons
with hopeful attitudes to Olympia. I see the
global human family in a crisis and in need
of growth and this is one way to work from
this situation to a more positive space. II' s

bring to this work their experiences as
graduates of Columbia University' s School
of International affairs, directors of several
international educational projects, and
workers and students in Europe, Africa,
and Latin America.
"What we hope to see happen in the
study groups is that these people from
divergent backgrounds will be drawn
together to work with the texts and attempt
'Visioning' - looking at the future," explains Berg .
The series starts March II with a lecture
and discuss ion by Dr. Don Foran,
literature professor at SI. Martin's, titled
Orwell's 1984: A Warnin g Nol Without
Hope. The participants will then move into their small groups and begin their eight
week study of the texts, meeting for two
hours once a week at a n agreed upon tim e.
[n the midst of the study there will be a lecture by Dr . Richard Overman of the
University of Puget Sound, and the final
session will be an all day workshop wit h
author Gerald Mische.
Gerald Mische will also be giving a
public lecture at that time, but only those
taking part in the study groups will be invited to the workshop.
The cost for this program is a mere $10,
although its sponsors inform me that they
will glad ly accept donations of greater
sums to help finance Mr. Mische's trip .

creased mortality rate approaching 70 percent. lndian women are unable to complete
pregnancies because of radiation poisoning in the air and water. Infant mortality
and malformation have been widely
reported among the surviving population,
due to the effects of radiation. Relocation
has caused much strife among the Indians
as they are severed from their only
homel and of many centuries . It has
brought about the breakup of the traditional extended family, the backbone of the
culture. Since the turn of the century,
children have been forcibly removed from
their homes and placed in schools that
deprogram them of their traditions. These
schools are mostly controlled by the Mormon church. It also happens that most of
the commercial interest in reservation land
is of Mormon origin, With relocation and
the breakup of families have come
astonishingly high rates of death,
alchoholism, poverty, divorce, sickness,
and suicide. As one relocatee said, "We
felt very bad about relocation. It's really
bad. We lost my father, mother and sister
(all within 6 years) and my daughter too.
They worried and their mind went kind of
bad . They wandered off somewhere with
no place to stay."
The main tool that the.U.S. government
is usi ng to relocate the Indians is a 'land
dispute' between the Hopi and the Navajo . This dispute, however, is only between
tribal councils, usually composed of a
small number of men (this is strange, since
leadership in the communities is usually by
women) that are hand-picked by the U .S.
government for negotiating purposes.
These councils are not recognized by the
traditionaMndians, and the men who si t
on the councils are 'progressive' Indians
who have divorced themselves from the
trad itional culture of the people. The traditional Indians simply want the government
off of their land. They want to be left
alone. One action the U.S. is taking is currently being strongly protested. This is the
installation of a fence dividing the Hopi
and Navajo land in a deliberate attempt to
sever the tribes, which are interdependent
and have shared the land for centuries. The
protesters are mostly women . One 60 year
old woman and her three daughters were

Project 1984:HOPE will be forming
small ten-to-fifteen person study groups of
TESC and Olympia community members
from diverse backgrounds to meet in
private homes with trained facilitators to
study the books 1984, by George Orwell,
and Towards a Human World Order, by
Gerald and Patricia Mische.
The former being the theme for this
year's campus-wide studies, [ need not
elaborate on it here. The latter, Towards
a Human World Order, is both a study of
the interrelation of different global issues,
and a sampling of the alternative st rategies

land and resources along with several other
corporations. Now American corporations
have taken hold of the land and are strip
mining it for coal and uranium, leaving
horrible scars on the sacred land of the
Indians.
So far, 200 families have moved; 2800
remain. Public Law 93-53 [ calls for their
comp lete removal by [986. The government has been for decades introducing a
series of 'scienti fic range management
techniques' which ultimately reduce the
number of livestock to far below the
amount needed to sustain the Indians at a
subsistence level of existence. These ' range
management' practices most often take the
form of U.S. officials directly confiscating
livestock; 90 percent of the herds have been
taken away. The self-sufficient communities of the Big Mountain people are
based upon raising animals, and much of
the populat ion is deteriorating due to what
is, in effect, a starve-out. In addition,
animals are getting sick and dying from
drinking 'hot' irradiated water that has
been polluted by radioactive materials
leaching into the ground water from uncovered piles of uranium tailings. These
piles are everywhere on the reservation and
can be seen by any visitor.
The Indian people are suffering greatly
from the effects of mining and relocation
activities . The withering away of their
traditional self-sufficient lifestyle has forced Dine and Hopi men to work in the
uranium and coal mines; resulting in an in-

confronted a fencing crew with guns. They
sti l! have not had a trial. T his action on th e
part of the women is a direct reflection of
their role in Hopi-Dine society, in which
they are traditionally a t the hea d of th e

people' s ways from generation to
generat ion .
According to Article 2 of the United Na:
tions definition of genocide under interna:
tionallaw, the attacks b.y the U.S. on the
people of the Big Mountain constitute
genocide . Article 2 states that genocide is,
among other things, " intentionall y exposing a group to living conditions which lead
to its total or partial physical destruction,"
and" forced transferring of children of a
specific group to another group." Interestingly, the U.S. Senate refused to sign
the U.N. treaty opposing genocide, whi ch
has been signed by every other industrial
nation, on the grounds that "It would
make our nation vulnerable to outside intervention in internal affairs."
At this point, the Indian's ability to resist
intervention depends on unit y and solidarity with Indians and Non-Indians a lik e.
Support is needed in many ways. There is
a gethering schedu led at Big Mountain
beginning April 1Y to foster solidarity wi th
the Indians and to maintain public
vigilance and resistance against government
atrocities. It is hoped that the presence of
outsiders will make the U.S. think twi ce
about their plans for forced relocation and
oppression, and ultimately repeal Public
Law 93-531 (the order for removal).

Nicaragua:U.S. supporters needed
Dear Editor :
The situati o n in Nicarag u a is extremely
critical at thi s time, The Nicarag uan
econ0my which depend s heavily on only a
few agricultural exports has been under in c reasing attack from CIA-backed counterrevo lutionaries , Several hundred million
dollars wort h of damage has alread y
resulted from attacks s \lch as the one
against t h e vital oil storage facilities at the
port of Cor into last October.
Nicaragua needs a successful coffee
harvest to be able to purchase basic food
st uffs , medic ines , s pare parts for indu s try
and transportation, and oil, Because of the
urgent political and military situation,
m any Nicaraguans have been mobilized in
the defense of their country and cannot
participate in the December-February coffee harv es t this year.
That is why I have c hose n to res pond to
Ni ca ragua 's call for internationa l work
briga d es to e n s ur e a s u ccessful coffee
harvest thi s year.

Dear E dit or:
To quot e from a le tt c r printed in last
week's CPJ, "a real event of ig norance has
occlJred," I was not the only r eader both
co nfused and initiall y angered by the trea tme nt you gave to the lett er , which concerned th e band "Peter a nd The Balls," At
issue is not the s tyl e or co ntent of th e le t ter, which ce rt a inly had it s ow n problems ,
but th e way in which th e C P J appeared to
be persona ll y crusad ing against band leader
Peter Tucker , Having since learned that th e
CP J knew in adva nce th at Tucker himself
was t he actual author of t he lette r , I mu st
q uestion why t he CP J didn't clearly exp la in
this fact rather than a ll acking him, or bet te r ye t, s impl y ig nore th e le tt er in th e firs t
p lace, In trying to make T u cker appear t he
v illi an, rather th a n add ress in g th e so ur'er
a nd content o f th e le tt er, the CP J has mi sled its readers hip with what on the surface
passes fo r s land er. Tu paraphrase yo ur
response, "I di sa pprove o f thin gs t h a t a rc

Apology owed to slam dancers
D ear Editor:
On February 24, without prior warning,
students attending a long scheduled dance
in dorm A were informed that there was
to be no slam dancing; and that if they tried
it, they would be ejected, Subsequently,
severlj,1 were asked to either stop or leave,
despite the fact that Iheir actions involved
no one other than themselves , and were in
fact quite tame ,
' The students were expelled because they
failed to comply with an administrative fiat
prohibiting this style of dance, which had
been issued in memo form to the Housing
staff by Ken Jacob, Director of Special Services, only two' days earlier. The memo
prohibiting slam dancing was iss ued in
spite of the fact that Jacob had already met
with the Housing staff to discuss the subject, but was unable to obtain a consensus
about what to do , At no time before his
February 22 order was any attempt made
to consult the body of students who live
in Housing about th eir opinion on the subject: in fact, it was executed without any
kind of public forum,
On February 29 (a day after the d eadline
for letters to the CP J but be fo re it went
to press), Jacob and Larry Stenberg ;;tttended a meeting with students in A dorm, The
afternoon before the meeting, Jaco b had
ins tituted a stuffing of all Hou s in g
re s id e nt s' m a ilboxes with a memo
moderating his earlier position, saying that
slam dancing would now be permitted ,
s ubjec t 10 several conditions, Faced with
thi s new position at the lime of the
m eeting, s tudenl opposition to hi s policy
fragmented and the new restrictions , which
would have once met with resistance, were
accepted (save one) wilhout any fuss, To
th e sludents altending the meeting , any
numbe r of administralive reslrictions on
slam dancing mus l have looked better Ihan
th e loo ming prospec l of total prohibition,
It h as always b een eas ier for selfappo int ed defenders of the co ll ege's
welfare 10 iss ue blankel inl e rdictions
aga in s t anYlhing Ihal mighl "lead to trouble ," r al her Ih an deal wilh Ihc few individuals who ac tually hurl others, on a
casc by case basis, Such perso n s defend
Iheir infringement of basic righl s an d liberlies w ith th e hypoth et ical justifi calion thaI
"so m ething bad mi g ht happe n" if Iheir
rules are not foll o wed, ignoring the plain
fa ct Ihal in each individual case where
broad restriction s are sucessfully enforced,
something bad does happen, Immediate
and langible damage occurs to the people
on the receiving end of the enforcement as
Iheir rights are taken away, We believe that
Greenerspeak
Whal's a good book
Deserl Island?
slam dancing between people who consenl
to it, among themselves, is as much a protected form of expression a s the right to
stand up on a soap box and speak in
public ,
No matter how diplomatic the ending of
the issue was, Jacob's handling of the
February 24 dance was insensitive,
undemoc ratic arid cowardly, Insensitive,
because a decision was made to prohibit
something that he knew of only by hearsay, and because he attempted to implement policy by brute force. Undemocratic,
because he did not consult the persons at
whom the policy was aimed - students and went ahead with his ban anyway after
he had failed to reach agreement with even
the Housing staff. Cowardly, because
under the circumstances , with no consensus on policy, if he really thought the situation was dangerous the thing to do would
have been to attend the dance himself, and
personally de-fuse situations he saw as legal
threats to the college, (Conversely, he could
have just asked the student managers to exercise ordinary good judgment in cooling
things down when needed,) Instead , he left
student managers with a blanket policy
which they were forced 10 enforce indiscriminately , putting them in an adversary position with the same st udents who
are in theory s upposed 10 trust and look
to Ihem for personal counciL
From his own statements at the meeting,
it is clear that Jacob did not know much
about slam dancing al the time he prohibited it. He had been lold that it might
be dangerous, and that the college might
be liable , When he actually learned
something about iI, he reversed the decision, demonstrating how little thought had
go ne into his decision initially, Bul the
s tudents who came to d a n ce on February
24 w e re puni s hed for hi s ignorance, While
his attendance at a meeting 10 disc uss student concerns after the 24th is admirable,
t h ere are only five or six s u c h events eac h
year; one of Ihe m was ruin ed, a nd he very
simpl y owes th e people thaI attended a n
apo logy for Ih at.

Evergreen couple tie the knot: "This reporter's
breath was literally taken away" by the event
By i<'rancisco A. Chateaubriand
All of this area's most beautiful people
congregated at Olympia's hot new club,
The Tropicana, recently to witness a spectacular event. No, it wasn't the grand opening of the fashionable new music haven.
That . happened last weekend (see the
related article elsewhere on this page).
What this reporter saw, by invitation of
course, was the blissful union of two
Greeners extraordinaire - Marcus BonatlO
and Debbie Roraback .
To t hose who say Evergreen has lost its
se nse of romance I must gleefully reply
"Bos h!" The wedding of Bonatto and
Roraback was a gratifying mixture of old
and new, borrowed and blue , a tribute to
good old-fash ion ed values co.mingling
wit h a refres hing dollop of surrealism . In
fact, I overheard an awed onlooker
describe the scene as something Pat Boone
and Salvador Dali might create together .
a not totally inaccurate description.
The wedding was schedu led for 4 :30
p. m . on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The
crowd of some 75 people represented the
best of what Olympia has to offer - from
punks and psuedo-punk s
the chic and
the neo-c hic. The attire was markedly conservative as most guests, acutely aware of
the occasion's solemn nature , wore vests
and sports jackets over their tie-dye Tsh irts. Those dressed in the more risque
wrist spikes and black leather jackets took
great care in seeing that the spikes were
polished and the jackets oiled. Some had
even re-greased their hair - a gesture
which touched the hearts of many.
The ceremony started punctually between 4:30 and 5. The guests crowded
aro und the st age area, the stereo was shut
off and s uddenly ... there she was! a sh in ing vision of beauty, Debbie Rorabac.k
standi ng at the top of the stairs, motionless. This reporter 's breath was literally
taken away as Roraback descended rna .
jes tically down the dozen sta ir s wh ich
,0
would ultimately lead to the honeymoon
suite . Her dress, designed anonymously,
was no less charismatic than she.
But where was the Wedding March?
Evidently, in the rush to appear spontaneous, the music had been forgotten. A
social faux pas of gargantuan proportions?
Perhaps in a less creative environment but
here it proved to be a feeding ground for
a euphoric triumph as the quick-witted
crowd began to whistle a hair-raising version that surely had Mendelssohn sp inning
feveri shly.
As the now giddy Grcene rs concluded
their mercifully brief musical careers, the
stagc was graced by the soon-to-beneWlyweds. They were followed by the
minister (a lovely woman whose name I've
regrettably forgotten) and two of Olympia's most notable cit izens; Fernando
Altschu l, artist of note, and the stylishly
beautiful Joan Barker, whose composed
features betrayed littl e of the nervousness
she was experiencing. Both were there to
play the part o f the official witnesses to
what was su re to bc a blessed event.
The vows were exchanged in Portuguese
,ince Bonatto, looking quite natty in his
fa shionable s uit, is from Rio De Janeiro,
Brazil and Roraback has just recently
returned from t here. Port uguese is a
language this reporter has studied extensively but since no references were m ade
10 restaurants or taxis, I quickly lost the
gist of what I am sure were beautiful
sentime nts.
A cheer from the crowd signaled the end
of the ceremonies but as the married couple lingered to complete some necessary
paperwork, a bag of brown rice (you
. should have guessed) was passed around
and moments later our happy 'c ouple was
pelted with t?C ceremonia l grain.
The wedding over,this reporter, cmotionally drained, staggered out o r the club
to res t up before the reception , which was
to begin in a mailer uf hours .

It was just another Saturday night in
Olympia . At least, that's what I thought
before I saw the SIGN. I was driving
around downtown and there was no one
NOTHING. So I resigned myself to a quie;
evening at home, reading Hamlet or perhps
watching the Love Boat. But then, suddenly , as I was driving down 4th Avenue, I
happened to notice a sign hanging from
someone's window. The sign was surrounded by flashing lights and said:
"Grand Opening of t he Fabulous
Tropicana - Tonight, 8:00 p .m ."
I couldn't believe my eyes. There was actually something happening in O lympia.
I arrived at The Tropicana at about
10:00 p.m ., fashionably late as always . Unfortunately I was a bit too fashionably late;
I missed the open ing band, The Beat Hap.
pening. I was disappointed . People told me
they were great. But, there was a .lot of
good stuff ahead. The Tropicana was fill ed with over a hundred people. Electronic
disco/funk music was playing over the
speakers. People were dancing, awaiting
the appearance of Evergreen's own Young
Pioneers.
They were worth the wait. T he Young
Pioneers were in absolute top form,
blasting out their tunes to a dance-crazed
audience. Some people were slam-dancing
up near the band, but there was plenty of
room on the dance floor to accomodate
those wanting to participate in a milder
form of frenzy.
After the Young Pioneer's grea t set,
there was more electro-funk provide by a
D . J. know as Whizz Kid. The music was
good for dancing and it provided a nice
contrast to the rough and raw sound of the
Pioneers.
Speaking of rough and raw, The Wimps,
a local band, took the stage somet ime after
midnight. Their energetic show kept the
crowd moving despite the late hour. I must
admit, from the moment I walked into the
Tropicana, I personally found it difficult
to STOP moving. Even after the show was
over and the club was closing.
I guess I'm just trying to say that I had
a really fun Saturday night in Olympia .
There is a new club in town. If you like to
dance and hang out, check out the
Fabu lous Tropicana.
I know I'm going back.
The Tropicana is located at 311 East 4th
Street.
No alcohol is served - A 1/ ages are
welcome.
Friday the 91h the bands will be Idle
Worship (from Oly). Imm-Oral Roberts,
and House of Commons (both from Vancouver, B.c.) $3 cover.
Ail'O, beginning on March 16, the cfub will
double as an Art Gallery, starting with
photography by Mike Lavine and Heather
Lewis.

struc ture. "
Evergreen had barely recovered from
their PLU loss when they tangled with
another tough NAiA school, the University of Puget Sound. Evergreen hung in
tough, but again fell 9-0 to the Loggers .
"Our team can see what is needed to p lay
good tennis," said coach Parsons. "They
realize they are capable of winning matches
this season with some hard work. It will
help when we begin competition against
schools that have programs more closel y
related to ours ."
The women's tennis team faired no better losing to Seatt le Pacific 9-0, last
Saturday.
The women will be playing home March
10 against ·Oregon State, while the men will
play March 7 at SU and March 9 at EWU
in Cheney.

The Evergreen men netters competed in
the season's first tennis match against 11th
ranked Pacific Lutheran University. The
Lutes demolished the Greeners 9-0, in a
match played Monday, Feb. 27. Ben
Chotzen, TESC's number one player, said
of PLU's Jay Abbott, "I can see why he 's
the NAIA's lOP player. It was fun playing
against him, I learned a lot. Now I know
what I have to do to be competitive with
players of his caliber. I'm looking forward
to our rematch."
Greener coach Alice Parsons who looked on helplessly as the Lutes crushed the
Geoducks, said, "The PLU players are so
strong. Most of Ihem play tennis all year
round. They also attend tennis classes and
receive college credit for them. It's tough
competing against programs of that

team for practice which starts in room 202
at the C.R.C. everyday at 3:30. Since the
club has been funded for a full team and
this is its first year, the coaches will gladly
work with st udents who are not quite sure
if they have all it takes to compete. A
sincere desire to be part of TESC'S history
and a willingness to give your best effort
are the main requirements needed to join
this fledging club.
A big advantage of joining the team now
is the opportunity to get individual training to fit your needs . Another is the
knowledge that you are actually helping to
lay down a foundation of something that
will be a part of TESC forevermore.

Geoduck captain Francisco Chateaubriand attempts a free throw against
Olympia Magazine. The shot went in but Diy Mag won 50-49 on a last-second

Attention hoopsters! Efforts to get a
Spring League organized are under way so
if you're interested , pay close attention to
the following.
Evergreen's two entries in the men's city league are coming off their most successful seasons ... sort of. Evergreen's
Bivalves finished 10-4, the highest win total
ever for a Greener team. The other team,
the Geoducks were unable to win even a
single game. However they were extremely competitive in most contests, losing once
in overtime and losing several games by
two or three points.
With these two teams as a nucleus,
organizer Francisco Chateaubriand is looking for players interested in forming
another two teams to help create, at
minimum, a four team league. Things
haven' t been finalized yet but the tentative
plans are as follows:
ALL WAYS TRAVeL seRVIce. IIIC.'
- Games will be played Monday nights,
starting in April, at the Jefferson gym on
the westside.
- A limit of eleven players will be allowed on a teams roster. Players must be
Evergreen students.
- There will be no team entry fee but each
player will be required to pay a $10 fee
prior to the first game.
- Scorekeepers and referees will be used
for all games and official scorebooks will
be kept.
- Practice space sho uld be available
throughout the week though it will be tight.
If you're interested in playing, sign up
sheets will be available at the C.R.C. office and in the lobby starting Friday,
March '9. A sign up sheet will also be
posted outside the CP J office, Library
3232. You will be contacted right after
spring break when plans are finalized.
