Two impressive candidates for
Evergreen Presidency visited campus last
week. Joan Wadlow, Dean of the College
of Arts & Sciences at the University of
Wyoming talked with the campus community March 4 and 5 and Patrick Callan,
Director of the Post Secondary Education
System in California was here March 7 and

As Dean, Wadlow
oversees
23
departments and such diverse aspects as the
observatory, the marching band and
cheerleaders, and the glassbower. She commands a larger budget and group of faculty
than all of Evergreen.
Looking a little tired, as all the candidates ha\'e on such rigorous schedules,
Wadlow addressed students, faculty and
staff, with a sense of humor and an openness to concerns. She often defined each
question before answering, almost as
students learn to define terms in seminar.
Asked about her understanding of interdisciplinary study she said, "I feel very
comfortable with the academic programs
Evergreen offers." She cited several
departments she helped organize at the
University of Wyoming including
Women's Studies and American Studies.
These studies are somew hat similar to
studies at Evergreen.
A student asked what was Wadlow's
commitment to incorporating cultural
diversity into cu rriculum. Wadlow
answered, "Thi s is not going to be done
overnight. It is somewhat comparable to
eHorts to incorporate women's iss ues
throughout the curriculum." First the
faculty must be involved in setting goals
and priorities of curriculum. She illustrated
ways the University has worked toward
diversifying its curriculum . The University used external grants for retreats and
weekend workshops for faculty. Temporary lecture budgets were more frequently used to bring in speakers that would promote these goals. And administrators
established a requirement for students to
take a non-western culture course befor e
g radua ting . She ca lled these steps temporary solutions until non-western curriculum is integrated throughout studies.
On the political side, Wadlow says she
knows how to work a legislature. "I don't
mind using the right type of evidence to
support my position," She added, "There
are effective ways to sell your case."
Her first two months as president would
put her on the road in a "systematic effort
to identify constituencies."
In Olympia she would immediately join
the Chamber of Commerce "Obviously the
Rotarions won't accept me .. [though]
they'll like me as a luncheon speaker."
More people turned out to see Wadlow
than for all the previous candidates,
presumably to see the one woman
candidate.
Less showed up on Friday to see Patrick
Callan, the next applicant. Callan, Director of the Post Secondary Education
System of Californaia, also oversees a
larger organization then Evergeen: 134
public colleges and universities .
Olympia is familiar to Callan. He spent
three years here as Director of the Co un cil for Post Secondary Education.

"Sandino lives in the jight against Yankee imperialism" reads the wall behind this Nicaragua" youth.
Evergreen st udent Diane Wiatr went to Nicaragua this past January, to travel arollnd the country a nd docum ent her experiences throug
writing and photography. While in Nicaragua, Wiatr worked in the cotton field s and in daycare .:enters, spo ke with dozens or peop
espousing different viewpoints and educated herself on several issues confronting the Sanctinista governmc nt a nd it's peopl e.
Wiatr's account of her trip to Nicaragua can be found on pages 2 and 3.
Wearing a brown suit and paisley tie,
Ca llan moved in front of the table to address his audience at close range. He said
his first experience in Olympia was looking for an apartment. At one place, the
landlord volunteered, apparently to in·
dicate the high quality of the apartment,
that he didn't rent to Evergreen students.
Callan said he supports Evergreen's style
of education. "The evaluation is part of
the learning process and I like that ... It's
a good respo nsibilit y for studen ts [to
have]. "
But Callan does sense problems here .
"Evergreen is no more immune to rigidi ty, to pulling the wagons into a circle, than
any other organization." He added, "As
much as I'm attracted to this place I don't
think the answers have been found yet."
One of thc more informal candidates,
Callan generated a lot of discussion . At the
end of the session he asked questions of his
audience. He wanted to know their concerns and worries. People responded with
fears about growth and change, about
faculty burnout , about how Evergreen can
maintain a fresh approach.
These questions have been surfacing
again and again as people have been Joan Wadlow, above, and Patrick Callan
right, 5peak with students, jaculty and staff
meeting the applicants .
The next presidential candidate, Murray as they visit campus.
DePillars, speaks to the college community Friday, March 16 at I in CAB 108. He
is the only black candidate.

The Embargo
The battle being fought from the Reagan
administration is not only a military one
but also economic. The U.S. refuses to give
loans or lines of credit to Nicaragua to purchase medicine or healthcare equ ipment.
The U.S. trade embargo has severel y
hampered Nicaragua's efforts to rebuild
it's economy. Nicaragua is nonindustrialized and the fourth poorest na tion in this hemisphere. For years
Nicaragua was depe ndent on the U.S. for
many of their material goods. Now it is a
la nd of sca reit y. The product s we consider
necess ities are hard to come by and expensive. For th e two mOnlh s I was there, only
one shipload of toothpaste came in from
Bulgaria. It was tasty stuff but after t he
si ng le tube each family was entitled to was
used up, thaI wa, it. The trade embargo
has left many types of eq uipment and
machinery di sabled because new part s a re
unavailable. On the hacienda where I pick-

ed cotton t here were 36 broken cotton
harvest ing machines bearing the labels
John Deere and IH (i'nternational
Harvester). There were only 10 function-.
ing machines left on the farm. Cotton is
the main export crop of Nicaragua so their
influx of desperatley needed money is
decreased because they are unable to clean
all the fields.
The middle class is also targeted in thi s
trade embargo in the hopes that they will
revolt against the FSLN because so many
. consume r goods are unavailable. I found
il to be true that the middle class had their
identity tied up in their consumerism and
that they were irritated at the inavailablity
of both necessi ties and luxury items. They
would complain to me about how difficult
it is now to find Christian Dior perfume
or Adidas tenni s shoes as a result of the
revolution. I found it hard 10 sympat hi ze
knowing that someo ne else in their country now was able to eat every day.

Life during wartime
An effective means of weakening the
Sandinista government, being purs ued by
the U.S, is tht undermining of the
economy of Nicaragua by forcing it to fight
the contras. The developillent of every
social se rvice would be more easily accomplished if Nicaragua didn't have to
sink the majority of its finances into
defe nse. Economic disruption of a country is more subtle and insidious than a large
scale invasion of tanks a nd bombs, and the
U.S. is able to get away wilh it more easily because we don't see U.S. boys returning home dead. As Paulino Castellon who
works at MINSA (Ministry of Health) said,
"The U.S. is not threatened by Nicaragua
because of military strength. Nicaragua
doesn'l even have an armed jet that could
make it to the U .S ... or a ship that could
ge t farther than C uba. Nicaragua is a
Ihreat because it is an example. The structure of thi s soc iety has changed, the production relations have changed, and the
spread of thi s exa illple is con lagious. The
Hondurans will say,' my God, why should
I have to pay for school when it's free in
Nicaragua!' ,
Two of the greatest accomplishments of
the revolution have been in improved
health care and the education/ literacy campaigns. The progress they've made in combating diseases through nationwide vaccination days are astounding . Because of
t his, medical workers and popular

EI nino sin ropa; Monimbo, Masaya

educators are targeted by the contras. In
1983 ,64 popular educators (those who go
to rural areas to maintain adult literacy)
were murdered, and 16 health clinics were
burned to the ground. In the northern
border areas go ing to classes is a
clandestine activity. The Reagan administration continues to be relentless
about crushing the Sanddanistas, by
whatever mean s possible because it must
show and maintain its power over Third
World countries. However, it is my belief
that an invasion of Nicaragua by the U.S.
would be doomed to failure and result in
Ihe needless deaths or thousands of
Americans and innocent Nicaraguans. The
people are as passionate in their hatred of
the imperialist 'yanqui ' as they are proud
of their culture and revolution. During
their struggle for self-determination 50,000
Nicaraguas died out of a population of 2.7
million. It seemed as though most everyone
had lost someone dear to them in the war
and they will not allow those deaths to have
occured in va in. I met a few people who
didn't support the FSLN, hadn't supported
Somoza, but don't want their country to
be a battleground for the U.S. either. As
far as I could tell, the majority of
Nicaraguan people are strongly committed
to their futures and to the revolution. The
people are armed, they know their hi story,
and therefore they are aware of the role the
U.S. has had in their past. The Ullited
States will 1I0t pass, is written in spanish
on the walls all over the country. They

stand strong on that statement.
One of the questions I get asked most
frequently with regard to my travels in
Nicaragua is, "Was it life-threatening?"
No, I was never in the wrong place at
the wrong time . When I picked cotton on
teh Gulf of Fonseca I could see the small
islands that were the U.S. Navel frigates
lurking about looking for an excuse to invade in the name of deomcracy. When I
was in Esteli, the most tnilitant city in
Nicaragua where there continue to be
funerals several times weekly for those killed at the front, I could hear gunfire, dis tant in the night. It made my skin crawl
bur the locals hardly seemed to notice. I
wa grieved to know that Nicaragua cannot
rebuild in peace because the policies of the
government under which I live doesn't
allow self-determination for any nation
with conflicting ideologies . Nicaragua has
fought the same war against the U,S. for
a century and the evil Qf the U.S. is persistant in this battle.
The presence of war in Nicaragua can
be felt in the daily conversation on buses
and in the press. There is a strong belief
that if Reagan is re-elected there will be an
immediate invasion. Not an unjustified
sentiment, but they seemed to believe that
if a Democrat was put in office the pressure
would be lifted frolll Nicaragua's shoulders
and borders. I felt it my patriotic duty to
inform Nicaragua that, historically speaking, that wasn't necessa rily the case. They
also had mi staken impress ion that the

ave age citizen of the U.S. was politically
well-informed and in solidarity with
Nicaragua and Central America because
there are representatives of the U.S. in their
country. I felt it important to give them the
straight dope so they wouldn't give the
American people more credit than we
deserve.
In January I went with my language
school to talk with one of the new Dayeare
centers in Managua. We brought your
basic dimestore balloons for the children
because even such a common toy is a
treasure for Nicaraguan youths. During the
talk a balloon popped with a bang near the
ear of a Nicaragua woman . She jumped
from her chair and yelled," Ah, Dios! Oh
my god! Amerika's coming!"
There was a moment of stunned silence
on the part of the U.S citizens. I was
striken with shame for what the U.S . has
done to the lives of Nicaraguans. 1 wanted
to ask forgiveness.
A 16 year old Sandanista police officer
escorted me home one night when I was
lost in the maze of small unmarked streets
that made up my barrio. We joked and
chatted as we walked along, and I asked
him what he thought of the U.S. He
became very serious. He said he thought
the U.S. was a very big, very highly
developed nation technologically and
economically speaking. "What your country has failed to develop," he said, "is a
consciousness. Nicaragua has this, and that
is how we are s uperior to the U .S."

This is a hot issue. The Reagan administration took full advantage of
manipulating the Miskito "problem" to
put the Sandinista government in an in humane, racist, se lf-serving light. I perceil'e
the problem concerning the Miskito
population in Nicaragua to be relat iv ely
simple. However, th e answer to the problems the revolution has caused for them
is considerably more eompli(ated. Basically, the Miskito Indi ans are of a different
culture from the Nicaraguans. They didn't
participate in the revolution to any great
extent and see it as a great disruption in
their lives. And it is . The Miskito population of 60,000 have traditionally lived in
the northea ste rn part of Nicaragua a, well
as the so uthwe stern pari of Hondura, .
They didn't observe borders as such and
traveled from one area to another rreely.
Now with the mntras (U.S. backed rebc!»
just across the border, they don't have the
same freedom to travel. Their extended
familie s are divided bel ween regions and
many of them have been relocated against
their wills by the FSLN. The people who
have chosen to go 10 Honduras are
recruited by the conl'ras to fight the Sandinistas with promises of a return to th eir
traditional homeland. Recently the contras
have been terrorizing the Miskitos so they
haven ' t got any choice but to fight or be
found in another mass grave. They are fleeing back into Nicaragua with tales of
horror.
They want to be left alone to practice
their religion, language and traditional
culture. The Sandanistas can't afford to
have the contras take over any bit of
Nicaraguan territory because it would provide the U.S . with a cause for a beachhead
from which to launch a full-scale invasion
of Nicaragua.
The FSLN acknowledges that it was a
great blunder on their part to move the
Miskitos against their will, but the govern ment simply didn't know of any other way
to protect their territory. It seems to be the
issue most talked about in post - revolutionary Nicaragua, primarily beca use it is
a negative issue. The Honduran deathsq uad killings of the Miskito, on the other
hand, has yet to be critically examined by
the western press.
The rights of the
Miskitos have been subordinated to the
rights of the revolution, and the FSLN
doc." ,,'t know how to proceed.

This is a soc ial / economic revolution
without much of a feminist perspective.
The thoughts of Andrea Dworkin or
Adrienne Rich (American feminists)
haven't made it to Nicaragua yet. Because
Nicaragua lacks the feminism that we
North Americans know and idealize, I've
heard American women here discount the
entire revolution . I can't defend the maledominated Junta or Council of State. Even
though the revolution is based on Marxism, there is inherent in that system,
numerous unanswered questions about
how to change the sexist indoctrinations of
a nation .
Before my stay in Nicaragua I was
critical about the priorities of the FSLN being different than those of a North
American feminist. That abortion is still
illegal is something I initially found
abhorent. What I hadn't realized is that the
consciousness of these Latina women is
such that the majority of them are [lot in
favor of legalized abortion. It is a delicate
emotional and ethical question particularly in a country still very tied to the church.
Even contraceptives are controversial in
Nicaragua. As is apparent in the U.S. it is
difficult to break religious conviction on
this issue .
The health priorities have instead been
focused on preventing diseases, such as
malaria and polio, through vaccination
programs, and combating diarrhea which

has been the number one killer of children.
Although abortion is still illegal, only abortionists are pro sec uted, and then only in
cases of malpractice. Underground abortion is a class privilege so it has no place
in a revolutionary society. The important
issue here, however, is that as soon as the
majority voices desire for abortion a law
will be passed to legalize it.
Currently, little is being done to dismantle traditional sex roles in divisions of labor
in Nicaragua. This inequality is magnified
by the fact that women have been active
in the military actions of the Sandinista
government fighting side by side with men .
Yet Nicaraguan women are still being placed in the workforce primarily as unskilled
laborers. They also hold the new positions
in day care and teaching. Women also st ill
have the primary responsibility of the home
and children.
On the brighter side, the women I met
in Nicaragua had a strength and belief in
themselves which is unsurpassed even by
that which I've seen in the U.S. I met a 12
year old girl named Erica who delivered
contact bombs and messages to the Sandinistas before the triumph. Her self-image
was one of power and will. Other women
who fought in the revolution were equally
empowered and intent on seeing this struggle through as they perceived correct. Their
actions stem from knowing their rights as
human beings rather than intellectualization of theory from any feminist
perspective.

Last Tuesday as I participated in my first
caucus, I relt overwhelmed by the commitment to political change this process
represents, The enthusiastic turn-out of
over 50 people, compared to only 10 in
1980, at Olympia's 15th precinct caucus
seemed to indicate a change from the
widespread polit ical apathy, which elected
our current head of state, to a willingness
to become informed and involved in shaping the political futur e of thi s country.
I arrived at my caucus location 30
minutes late and soa king wet. After we
<; igned our name s a nd candidate
preferences fo r the registrar, gavc whatever
cas h contribution we co uld afford, and
heard t he ca ucu s rules, we began discussing ge neral quest ions and iss ues as three
people of differing political persuasio ns
tallied the first ballot in a separate room.
Though t he di scussion was relaxed and informal, the mood was quite serious and
co ncerned. Befor the din had completely
subsided order was called to announce the
results of the fir st ballot. The crowd fell
utterly silent as an elderly gentleman rose
and slowly read from the slip of paper he
held in both hands: "33 votes for Hart,
nine for Mondale , five for Jackson, and
two undecided ." People immediately
nooded the room with sounds of approval,
surprise, disgust and confusion.
The chairperson soon restored order by
explaining that for every 10 votes a candidate received, one dclegate wou ld be
assigned to that candidate. He reopened
the noor to give interested parties a chance
to convince each other of the necessity for
a delegate. A loud voca l uproar ensued
from which one could barely distinguish
the chair's call for order over the impassioned voices calling out: "Unified vote!"
"I should be able to vote ror who I want!"
"Washington's known for its liberality!"
"We just want him ou t of there!" and so
on.
When all those wishing to have their say
had had it, thanks to the chairperson insisting on orderly procedure, those wishing
to chan ge their vote d id so and the same
elderly gentelman who read the previous
results read the seco nd ballot. With his
slow, deliberate manner, he stood and read
to the tense faces filling the room: "Mondale, nine; Hart, 27; and Jackso n, 13."
Thererore from this precinct Hart would
receive four dclegates and Jackson one
delegate to procecd to the County Caucus
at the West Water Inn on April 21. The

.

resolutio ns late into the eveni ng.
In concluding this brief description
outlining my first exposure and involvement with the caucus system, I must say
it was an exciting educational evenl. But,
by far the most inspiring aspect of this
evening was the enthusiasm and involvement or so many people with varying
backgrounds, uniting to achieve a common
goa l.

Workshops on war tax
resistance held
A workshop on resisting federal war
tal'es will he held on Satu rday March 17
from 10 a. m . to 3:30 p.m. at the YW CA
Fr iendship Hall, 220 E. Union. The
workshop is sponsored by the Olympia
Fellowship of Reconciliation and the
Olympia Friends Meeting.
More and more people around the country are opposing war, according to Fram
Williams, workshop orgamzer. I n order to
make their lives co nsistent with their
beliefs, more and more of those people arc
refusing to pay a portion of their federal
income tax and / or their federal telephone
tax. Many of them are se nding the money .
instead to charitabl e or peace-related
o rganizations, and notifying the govern ment of their actions. Williams has
donated to the food bank money she
withheld , as an indication of how her con-

science says money shou ld be spent.
Rev. Paul Jeffery, a Methodist minister
from Elma, will discuss spiritual reasons
and results or resisting war taxes. Lisa
Hicks, a nurse from Seattle, will discuss
variou s resistance methods and their con sequences. Some have low risks. Several
local persons will share their own personal
experiences . Ot her presentations and
discussions will complete the afternoon.
Participants shou ld bring brown-bag
lunches. Chi ld ca re will be provided.

The bottle of Dom Perignon smashed
against the bow, and a deafening cheer rose
from the crowd as the graceful craft slid
down the way onto the sea. Well, not quite,
but that's the way it should have been. The
date: January 19; the scene: the "machine
room;" deep in the bowels of the Daniel
J. Evans Library; the event: E~ergreen's
new academic computer system had come
on-line.
Evergreen's new computer is a Data
General "Eclipse" MV /10000. It uses an
operating system called AOS/VS (Advanced Operating System/ Virtual Storage). The
development of the Eclipse was the subject
of the 1982 Pulitzer-Prize-winning article
"The Soul of a New Machine." The
MV / 10000 is approximately four times as
fast as the College's previous academic
compter system. It has six megabytes
(6,000,000 bytes) of memory and one
gigabyte (that's 1,000,000,000) characters
of disk storage. Essentially, this means that
it can accomodate more users doing different things and still be faster than the old
system. It also a llows students to program
in up to eight programming languages (and
maybe more later), compared to the one
language available on the old system.
The $405,000 acquisition was funded by
the legislature last year, and the acquisition process began during the summer. The
MV / lOOOO was finally selected over two

R

G

competitors in October, after what selection panel member John Aikin described
as an "exhausting and exhaustive" selection process·. (John Aiken is the former
director of Computer Services.) The other
members of the selec tion committee were
dean Ron Woodbury, Computer Services
staff members Chas Douglas and Van
Shafer, faculty members Judith Bayard
and David Paulsen, and students Joel
Schmidt and Mark Lewin.
So what does this mean to the Evergreen
community? Generally, the acquis ition was
seen as both a necessity and as an opportunity. The Hewlill-Packard 2000 computer which the new computer is replacing
has been described as "archaic" and,
moreover, Hewlett Packard no longer
guarantees that replacement parts can be
made available. The new computer is
subs tantially more powerful and flexible,
and respresents the "state of the art" in
computer technology. It also a llows
student s to use the same software as other
similar computer systems, in contrast with
the old system, which h~d evolved into a
one-of-a-k ind .
There will be an open house at the Computer Services terminal room (LIB 2408)
on April II, from 3-6. Tours of the
machine room and demonstrations or computing resources available to students and
faculty are among the act ivities plamled.
All members of the campus community are
welcome.

Central American teachin slated for ,April 11
By Cliff Missen

The afternoon will be devoted to one
hour workshops to be led by each of the
speakers, with the emphasis being the
speaker's particular area of expertise.
The evening's event will provide the
capstone as Costigan and the state department representative present their positions
in a public lecture which will provide room
for general questioning from the audience.
The day will wrap up with a panel of the
day's speakers and commu nity members
fielding and posing questions in a debatesty le forum.
In addition, all throughout the day film s
will be shown, averag ing a half-hour in
length , which address Central American
issues. Those schedu led already are Ed
Asner's America's in Transition, a 1981
film covering the history of U.S. involvement in EI Salvador, Guatemala, and
Nicaragua; Seeds 0/ Revolution. a 1980
ABC television documentary on the operations of U.S. international fruit corporations in Ccntral America; Nicaraguan
Literacy Crusade, a look at the literacy
campaign initiated in 1980 which has tripl ed the literacy rate in that country; Todos
Santos Cuchamantan, a documentary on
Guatema lan village economy; and EI
Salvador: Allother Viet Nam, a documentary which argues t he paralle ls bctween
U.S. involvemcnt in Central America and
in the carly stages of the Viet Nam war .
"Thesc are just thc things that we've got
in concrete so far," added Barnes. "We
expect to have more activities set by April
11th. "
The Teach-in on U.S. foreign policy in
Central America and the Caribbean is opcn
to the public and all the events arc free.
Donations will be glad ly accepted.

The Students for a Humane Foreign
Policy announced their plans for their
April II Teach-in on U.S. foreign policy
in Central America and the Caribbean this
week, revealing a full slate of distinguished speakers and dynamic evcnts to fill the
day-long event.
The speakers include : a state Depart ment spokesperson, yet unknown; Giovanni Costigan, professor emeritus of History
at t he University of Washington and wellknown lecturer; Evergreen's own Stephanie
Coontz; Collette Craig , a linguist from the
University of Oregon who recently toured
Central America; and Felipe Ortez, a
representative of ANDES - the Teachers
Union of EI Salvador.
"The State Department can't tell us yet
who is going to come," sa id Terry
Barksdale, an organizer. "But they've
assured LIS that it will be someone who
plays a key role in the policy making. "
"We've taken some flak for including
a spokesperson from the State Department," said Jessica Barnes, one of the
organizers for the teach-in. "Some people
around here thought that the state department a lready exploits the press enough to
push its point of view. But this is a very
important issue and we want people to
have a chance to sec both sides at the same
time."
The tcach-in will start at 10 in the morning with films and workshops, but the real
fireworks start at noon as the keynote
speake rs, the representative from the state
department and Coont z, present their sides
of the debate for a lunchtime gather ing.

Washington's legislature came to an
agreement on the state's supplemental
budget in the wee hours of last Friday morning and adjourned the 1984 session.
Among the expenditures, that totaled
around $55 million, was an appropriation
of $400,000 earmarked for The Evergreen
State College.
I I' you overlook the fact that their
business ran a little beyond midnight, this
is the first legislative session to end within
the allotted time (60 days) since 1957.
The TESC allocation is intended to compensate the college for higher enrollment
numbers than were anticipated when the
1983 legislature drew up the sta te 's $8. 1
billion budget for the 83-85 biennium.
Evergreen was expected to have a full-time
enrollment (FTE) of 2209 for the biennium. After registration for Fall 83 was
tallied, this year's FfE was revised to 2350
and next year's was projected at 2400.
The $400,000 will be spent next year to
maintain an average of $2,319 spent per
FfE for the 84-85 school year only. The
school's FTE will not, however, be allowed to surpass 2380 - twenty students short
of expectations. The 141 "extra" students
enrolled this year will not count in the
dollars per FTE average.
The money is to be spent onry for expenses that fall under the heading "instructional." This is money that primarily goes
toward faculty salaries, but it also includes
sa laries for lab aides and miscellaneous
program expenses. TESC will have to make
do with the same number non-instructional
staff it has at present despite the larger student body, since none of the $400,000 can
go toward those areas.
Evergreen's legislative liaison, Stan Marshburn, specu lated that the school will be
ablc to add between eight and ten faculty
members with the extra money, but he
stressed that this was a rough estimate. The
inability to pinpoint exact numbers is due
to severa l factors. For instance, adding a
program in th e natural scien ces is often
more expensive, due to the necessit y of lab
aides, than adding a lit erature program .
More concrete figures will be available
after administrators have determined
which areas need to be enlarged.

Campus childcare center
needed

Dear Editor:
Hi. About children attending student
functions, and the disturbances some of
them cause. (CP J, Feb 9th) I would bet you
that most student parents either dOl ·'t bring
their children, or, if a child gets unduly
restless, they take it out, and are just as irritated and embarrassed because of irresponsible parents as you and I are.
Sometimes we overlook the many who
carry the added load of being a parent very
well, and notice only the few who don't.
Having been a parent to small children
eleven years ago when I was first on campus, I can appreciate t he problems of being a student-parent, and also , the natural
wish we parents have to expose our
children to experiences we think will later
prove valuable to them. So I wouldn't want
to see arbitrary rules that make it harder
for responsible parents.
Also, some adults' tolerance of children
is greater than others. I happen to have
hi gh tolerance, and enjoy the presence of
children most of the time. Like many other
Evergreen people, I respond to their zest
for life and feel more alive myself around
them. Hut I fully agree with the editorial,
several weeks ago. When some children's
distracting behavior is ignored and
therefore tacitly encouraged regardless of
the rights of others present, I get annoy~d,
and mostly, with the parents of the child .
However, it just doesn't work to .try to
make rules for other people about their exerci se of thoughtfulness in the conduct of

o

their responsibilities. This has to come
from within. We're all still growing in one
way or another.
Maybe if the college could make some
centralized space available as a drop-in
child-care center, managed by a studentparent group on a regular basis, there
would be another option available to
parents who want to attend events. Parents
with a suddenly cranky child could take
him to the center and return to the gathering. Parents with one child of an age to
benefit from an event, but who also have
a smaller child could leave the smaller one
at the center. Unattended children who are
disturbing a gathering could be escorted to
the center if it appeared they were too
young to be unattended. They could await
their parents there.
I f a drop-in child-care center were
managed and staffed by volunteer and
hired child-care people, the sponsors of an
event would not have to either bar children
from attendance or take on the added job
of providing child care.
I also think that when children do
disturb a performance it is up to all of us
in the audience to take action then and
there, quietly letting the children and
parents know what we want.
Thanks for listening,
Peg Wortman

Buddy, can you
spare some
change?
Dear Editor:
Does anyone have change for a dollar
bill? - rarely on this campus. The need
for a "change machine" is, and always has
been top priority - let's make the Change
already. Even iFit were installed in or near
the Security OfFice, or perhaps in the CAB
information booth. With Security open 24
hours a day their staff could offer change.
There are alternatives . The machine in the
library never works, and the xerox
machines stand idle, while we wander
. aimlessly in search of who? He who knows
- because I don't. And this letter will not
even mention the many times the food service machines don't work for weeks on
end. A reply to this letter would be a great
service in itself. Excuse me, while I seek out
another student manager.
Signed,
Most Everyone.

Navaj.o need our help
Dear Editor:
A situation requiring the immediate atl tention and commitment of those of us living in the United States is the forced relocation of nearly 14,000 Navajo in the Big
Mountain area of their Reservation. It is
nothing less than our responsibility to insure that this shameful devaluation of
human life and rights does not continue to
take place. A call to all of us has come out
of the heart of the Navajo ancestral
homeland asking for non-Indians and Indians alike to come together beginning on
April 19 and continuing through the summer. The Navajo traditionals have sworn
to only be removed if dead or unconscious.
They need people who are willing to
witness their resistance with cameras, pen
and paper, tape recorders and constant
presence. Hard working individuals are
greatly needed to herd sheep, chop wood,
haul water and build structures. Total selfsufficiency, an ability to adjust to culture
shock and a willingness to obey and respect
the elders are also essential in all who feel
so moved to support the resistance by being right with the Navajo.
Here in Olympia, a variety of support
tasks are being developed by a group that
meets every Monday and Wednesday at
3:00 p ..m. in the non-smoking lounge of the
CAB Building's cafeteria floor. All of us
are interested in educating as many people as possible. We were able to raise
enough money among ourselves to purchase an hour long video called The W,.ong
Side of the Fence which we will be showing on campus as soon as it arrives. We
hope to have a polished presentation to
take to community groups in this area in
an effort to expand support beyond
"Greeners" and "hippies." It is extremely crucial to avoid the comfortable trap of
exclusiveness and strive for a unity among
as many races and cultural trap of exclusiveness and strive for a unity among as
many races and cultural groups as possible. This point cannot be stressed strongly
enough. I f we were not so ethnocentric in
this society, we would not be permitting
continued atrocities to be enacted so
regularly against people of color and financial disadvantage right here in our home
country.
.-.. Another support effort is being explored
6y those interested in walk ing all the way
from Olympia to Big Mountain. This par-

Define the term
correct . ..

ticular action would have the advantage of
not only educating people encountered
along the way, but could bring continuLlus
media attention as the walk progressed. It
is also a symbol of supportive memory to
the Long Walk of 1864 that Kit Carson
forced the Navajo to take to Bosque
Redondo, as well as the Cherokee Trail of
Tears. Hundreds of Native Americans died
in both of these tragic walks. Support
vehicles and Olympia-based supporters are
needed to insure this particular event of
simplicity and commitment.
There are those planning to go down in
April by car and at other times throughout
the summer. Building materials and survival supplies of all types are greatly needed. Donations are welcome.
A benefit is in the works tentatively set
for May. We would love to make this a
high quality · event of conscience and
generosity. We call to those with artistic
gifts of all varieties to donate their abilities
to this.
Finally, we are working on becoming a
permanent resource for current information, networking and dependable support
for any who choose to be directly involved in the resistance. Nonviolent commitment is another point we are stressing. The
Navajo have said they will fight to the
death and are likely to use their rifles. The
gift I feel we have to bring is that of our
knowledge and expanding awareness of the
power of nonviolent direct action. Consequently, we are asking all who intend to
be at Big Mountain to seriously consider
the power and place of soul force. It is not
our place or right to tell the Dine (as they
call themselves) how to orchestrate their
struggle, but I do feel that time has come
for the race of oppressors to seek the power
of the heart rather than the fist. Nonviolence ·training will be available this
Saturday, March 17 for all interested, at
the Yogurt Farm, 3133 14th Ave., 352-2597
at I p .m. for those interested in doing
Missile .motor train civil disobedience.
Training will begin at 10 a.m. It i~ hoped
that we soon can make nonviolence training available to all who want it on a regular
basis.
New ideas and faces are greatly desired.
The best of what each one of us has to offer is necessary for the creation of a living
peace.

"To be politically correct you have
to ha ve a mo ra l obligation to
benefit all the people and not just
come from a Liberal or Conserva tive standpoint. It becomes incorrect when it's broken down in to a Liberal vs . Conservative bat tleground. They break down what
the Conservatives stand for and
what the Liberals stand for when
it all really seems to intertwine. The
onl y real difference depends on
which inner group you belong to ."

Page 6

Ceu Ratliffe, Social Historian

Paul Gallegos, /984 Program

Sandy Silva, Great Books

" Is thi s in terms of Evergreen or
1984? I suppose my definition of
politically correct is being aware of
the ramification s of one's action
beyond how they affect that situation. It's knowing that everything
a ffects everything else. At
Evergreen , however, I feel it means
being a s anti-establishment as
possible to the extent that people
close themselves off to reality ."

"To me, politically correct is a very
limiting term that implies some sort
of a framework that you have to
work within . It seems to be a
limiter of one's ability to be
creative. So to me it is an invalid
concept. "

"People who are so obsessed with
their own narrow beliefs that they
won't listen to anyone who opposes
them; a sort of 'holier than thou'
attitude. The cushy liberals are
preaching non-violence yet are
unaWare that violence in certain circumstances may be their only way
for survival. The conservatives supporting violence and destruction to
an extreme with nuclear arms scorn
their humanist opponents. Both
sides are just skimming the surface
and not looking deeply into the
issues. "

Cooper Point Journal

Ter,.y Barksdale, A verage Guy

"Firstly, being politically correct is
not a series of lifestyle decisions
like shopping at the Co-op or riding
your bike to school. I f there is such
a thing it might involve realizing
that the personal world, a world of
individual conciousness, is intensely shaped by the social world. And
that social world is made and
changed by people with grossly
unequal degrees of ecomonic and
political power. So being plitically
correct is not a series of frozen left
wing ideals, but a commitment to
engaging in politics for the sake of
making a society of real human
equality . Amen, Brother."

bumper sticker that says, 'If you like sex,
you'll love peace.' ..
These are beginning descriptions of a
peaceful world that are coming out of the
visual centers of people's imaginations.
While envisioning peace, we urged
everyone to "Disregard all constraints on
how we'd get there. Leap over tha frontier and just begin to describe how you
would like to live, if you could. Then begin
to wonder how you can get there. Go back
to 1983 and say 'O.K. Now what do we
have to do to get out to those targets we've
just described?' "
So, of course, [now) comes the question
"How do you proceed?" Everyone always
want to know "How do you proceed?"
And the answer must be "In every possible way!" But in particular to remind
ourselves that we have to finally begin to
scale up our solutions to match the size of
our problems. Clearly what happens when
people burn out. .. they look at this overwhelming planetary danger and they say,
"How in the world can we change the
behavior of so many people?"
Gandhi, among his infinitely wise
statements, once said, "Almost anything
you do will seem insignificant, but it is very
important that you do it." And I suppose
I'm suggesting that about your own
blueprint for the future; because, from our
own analysis in asking people to tell us
what peace would look like, what you've
already produced here is basically a plan
for peace for this planet. Although most
people working in the Portland futures
project, and most people who read it, view
it within a narrower context.
Imagine Portland becoming a model for
a planetary city. It could happen overnight
if the decision is made. People do wondrous things when they finally make decisions . These decisio ns are nol political.
These decisions are not institutional. These
decisions are personal since you are, as
Earthlings everywhere on the planet. the
ultimate sources of power; which, of
course, you know.
It 's astounding that a population should
have reached a point of synthesizing
elements ... experimenting with the creation
of new species through genetic engineering .. .. Jbeing) able to hurl itself off the ball
into space .. .inventing artificial intelligence
machines capable of expanding the reaches
of human consciousness .. and at the same
time should be so incredibly preoccupied
with self-destruction.
I s uppose that in the long run, it's not
really worth wondering whether or not our
civilization will make it; that's, to me, an
energy waste. It's more interesting to shape
the future that you're interested in li vin g
in. And because nobody' s in charge. it's
fairly easy.
Thank you.

ENTERTAINM ENT

Portrait

Music group
celebrates

By Cliff Missen
Last Saturday a full house at the
Evergree n State College Recital Hall was
treated to an uproarious and top-notch
musical treat as the Righteous Mothers
brought their politics, humor, and selves
to share with all.
The stage was bare except for the instruments, sound equipment, and a cheery
vase of daffodils which set the mood for
the entire show. "This is not just a concert," insisted "Mother" Lisa Brodoff as
she welcomed the audience, "this is a
celebration! "
Indeed, this weekend's concert was the
group's first since the release of their debut
album and was something of a home comin g: three of the Righteous Mothers live
and work here in ·O lympia and one, Molly
Staley, is a graduate of Evergreen now living in Seattle.
The other five Righteous Mothers are :
manager Lynn Grotsky and performers
Clare Grausz, Marla Beth Elliot, Wendy
Davis, and Lisa Brodoff.
Their mostly original material ranged
from women's difficulties in establishing
credit , to the military budget, to warm and
eloqu ent odes to friends and family. One
number entitled "In Your Place or Mine"
ingeniously transported the audience
through a myriad of situat ions: first with
a boss telling a woma n employee seeking
a rai se she sho uld sta y, "I n your place or
mine;" then a woman telling her abusive
husband that she can't stay "In yo ur place
or mine;" and finally an offer from one
woman to a hurting other to "stay in your
place ... or mine!"
Not only did the se rious songs recreate
the feelings, frustrations, and warmth that
inspired them, but the humorous selections
had the audience bursting with cheers and
ent hu siasm. The funniest being their o nl y
"Unhealth y" love song: medley of sixties
tunes with slightly altered lyrics which admitted unbridled affections for a very elite
brand of ice cream.
The groups talent was exceptional, the
harmonies at times exacting. Their arrangements covered a broad gamut of
musical sty les and their warmth was contagious . Their combined voices sometimes
filled the hall in such a way that they nearly
put the Morman Tabernacle choir to
shame , while other times they sang so softly and sweetly that eyes drooped and smiles
waxed on every face in the house.
The only disappointment this reviewer
found was the fact that the group's
members are happily employed in other
professions and thus limit their concerts to
an average of two a month. It was a
wonderful bonus that the Righteous
Mothers should launch the International
Women's Week celebrations. They seemed each a strong and caring example of the
nuturin g
and
bonding abilities
predominantly attributed to women, while
taking no flak as they made their stand for
a better world. This reviewer was especially
impressed that the Righteous Mothers did
not imitate the style of the male dominated,
se lf-cen tered, and technology oriented
popular entertainment scene, but rather
made their stage a home and entertained
th eir friends with their natural and
dynamic talents .
Their newly released album, entitled
simply The Righteous Mothers, is a well
produced gem and available on the Nexus
label.

Class acts pummel punks
By Kevin Olson
Since I'll be leaving Olympia next week
to chase the Grateful Dead all over
America, I thought I should get some practice in going to concerts to make sure I'm
primed for lerry and the boys when the
time comes. Since the Fabulous Tropiqma,
Olympia's newest nightspot, had just opened up the week before and J'd missed the
show 'cause I was out of town, I decided
to take in the show last Friday. It seemed
like a good show to get me in shape for the
Dead. Five bands were playing. One of 'em
even had the name Death Sentenc~, which
is sort of like Grateful Dead, so it sounded like my kind of show. I went.
Things got going around 9:00 with a
band from Aberdeen called The Melvins .
I missed 'em, because the ever-fashionable
Shannon O'Neill, with whom I went to the
show, was still putting on her makeup. I
heard they were real good, though. I hope
to see 'em someday and maybe even write
a review or something. I did catch the second band , Olympia's own Imm-Oral
Roberts. These four guys, hailing from
Capitol High, played their hearts out. They
did some original songs as well as a few
covers to get the crowd really hopping. The
bass player had on a real keen pair of
sunglasses. I didn't take any pictures of
him or any of the other band members
though because I was low on film and their
guitars looked too new. In my book it' s no
fun taking pictures of bands with brand
new guitars . They obviously hadn ' t been
on the road long enough to merit my TriX . But they had a fun, up-beat sound and
you can bet we'll all be hearing more about
'em if we spend the next several years of
our li ves in Olympia.
The third band to assault the audience
was of . Canadian origin . They called
themselves Death Sentence and they played
a type of music commonly referred to as
hardcore. Seasoned musicians, these guys.
Their sound, reminiscent of the early Clash
and the Dead Kennedys ,
the
youthful crowd launched into a frenz ied
ballet from the OUlset. 1 liked these guys
because they played short, fast so ngs and
didn ' t waste any time in between. They
weren't cute, but then they didn't try to be
so I thought they were okay.
After Death Sentence, another Olympia
band, Idle Worship, played. Thi s foursome, composed of remnants of the legendary Pet Produc/s, had a distinctly hard core sound, but with a kind o f arty approach. Most of the songs were good and
fast, but they lost momentum in between
eac h number by taking too much time .
With a little polish and more experience
playing in front of people, Idle Worship
have the pot ential to become one of Olympia's top rock acts. And speaking of lOp
acts, the fifth and final band, House of
Commons, brought down the hou se with
so me of the most hyper hardcorc this si de
0' the Co lumbia. Another Vancouver,
B.C. band, H.O.c. had obviously played
a lot of shows. They were cocky, se lfassured and, especially, loud. So loud , in
fact, that the club was nearly empty by the
end of their third song. Sure, they were
good, but how many decibels does it take

By the end of the night, the Tropicana
was showing signs that Olympia just might
have a Rock & Roll Club to be reckoned
with . The crowd of over 130, decked out
in their hippest punk garb(age), went away
winded, but smiling, like after good sex.
One only hopes the Fabulous Tropicana
can keep 'em coming.

the Recital Hall of the Communicalions
Building at The Evergreen State College.
Skeleton Crew stars Tom Cora on cello,
electric bass, drums, vocals and "contraptions," and Fred Frith on guitar, casio,
drums, vocals and "home-mades." With
each member playing two or three (and
often more) instruments at once, the
"group" creates, according to reviewers,
"a free-wheeling set that evokes folk
dances, marches, funk, dissonant art songs
and Afri~an high-life music ."
Cora and Frith bring extensive
backgrounds in jazz, new wave, avantgarde and classical music to Skeleton Crew,
which they formed in 1982. Since then they
have toured lapan, Europe and North
America, and cut their first album.
"We really enjoy ourselves," says Firth,
who regards Skeleton Crew as the most accessible group he's ever played for. "Normally, audiences have been disarmed . They
come expecting it 10 be difficult and then
have the ground pulled out from under
them when they find out how listenable our
music is."
Sponsored by Evergreen's Olympia
Media Exchange, the Sunday concert costs
$3.50 for students and senior citizens and
$4 general admission. For more informa.

They insulted my Rhino,
They dug up all my worms.
We tried to talk things over,
But we couldn't come to terms.

FEATURING

210 E 4th

before your average slamdancer starts to
bleed from the ear? If H. o.C. had channeled their considerable energies into their
performance instead of their amplifiers,
they might have been a smash. As it was,
they were just another bunch of punks who
could afford the vcry best. They've even
got an album out . We're talking class act.

The raucous one, the rowdy one who sets older people's
false teeth to clattering, the cause· of more than one mountain
tumbling headlong into the sea or being ground down to santi,
has met, oh so briefly, but as often as she can arrange,
the eyes of the sensuous young poet, the one who never talks,
whose hands and mouth she so vividly imagines caressing her.

March 15, 1984

She woke up and knew what she
wanted. She had had a hard time that
night. There was no sleeping with all
that turning and turning back she had
done on her bed. She had listened to
the seconds snap in her alarm clock;
she had tried to squeeze dreams between them. But for most of the night
there was only dog barks and the words
which pulled through her head like
barbed-wire. Miles and miles of words
shredded her mind that night. Later, in
the early morning, it was the traffic
that made distant noises on the distant
freeway that finally whispered her to
sleep.
And she found her dream.
If luliet was anyone's fool, she was
Time's. This, then, made her no different from the rest of us. She was different, however, because she was
beautiful and could use her mind for
more than counting and her mouth for
more than a place to put fruit.
And luliet always knew what she
wanted. She knew this before most of
us knew to call that itch "wanting."
This was unusual - the knowing
before the others - and luliet prided
herself in it. You could ask anyone in
town what it was they wanted, and
they'd all use different words to say the
same thing: I want what Juliet has (and

March 15, 1984

they don't mean beauty or a mind for
more than counting or a ·mouth for
more than a place to put fruit) .
"I want a freeway," said luliet to
lock, who was the man she let put into
her mouth more than fruit. "I want a
freeway right here where this house is,"
she told him.
Now if lock was anyone's fool, he
was luliet's (and Time's of course, like
the rest of us); and the machinery that
drove his mind in all matters except
those concerning luliet hardly slowed to
allow him his simple yes . Jock knew
that Juliet always knew what she
wanted.
Not only was lock no one but
Juliet's and Time's fool, he was also
the richest man in town. Some said he
gained his wealth in the drug trade: he
sold suppositories to nervous young
men with educations and dirty white
coats which they wore to hide their nervousness: he sold them to the selfconscious managers of elderly housing
projects for curious prices. Others
seemed to think that his wealth came
from his hobby . Just as lock was no
ordinary taxidermist: Tropical fish . His
specialty was Black-banded Angelfish
and Teardrop-butterflyfish mobiles for
over the cri b.
A freeway through your house said
Jock so simply and purely that his
sentence wore no punctuation.

"It was a freeway that pulled me
from the twisted coils of thinking and
smoothed me as gentle as Route 66
from Elk City to Albuquerque."
"What was it you were thinking so
hard about? " asked lock.
"Why, about what I wanted, of
course," said luliet. "And if that
freeway hadn't have lulled me to sleep
and slipped me that dream, ('d have
never known what I wanted again."
"And what was the dream that
freeway slipped to you?" asked lock .
"Why, it was of a freeway of my
very own running like a concrete river
below my bedroom window, stretching
me to sleep each night and slipping me
gentle rolling dreams about the things I
want ."

And so the men with orange hard hats
and lost shirts carved an exit off of
1-72 . They slit our town's belly and filled the cut with concrete and guardrails. Now the big-wheelers loop down
through the West end, up the hill past
the Tasti-Dog, swinging left past the
Navy recruiting office and a sharp right
through Juliet's house . There's a big
arch between the laundry room and kitchen. A sign saying: LOADS OVER 14'
WELCOME hangs from the picture
window where luliet sits watching the
Northbound sliding into her home to
join 1-72 a few miles down.
I saw Jock a few days ago . I told

Cooper Point Journal

him that luliet had outdone herself this
time . The whole town was constipated:
No one else could get a freeway
through their house . I asked lock to
help relieve a bit of the pressure. I asked him to tell us what luliet wanted
now that she had her freeway .
"I don't know what she wants
anymore," ·said lock.
"Why's that?"
"luliet don't know what she wants
anymore . She hasn't slept since those
men jammed their dozers between her
laundry-room and kitchen. She says it
was the biggest thrill of her life, and
she didn't mind the mess either. Now
she don't eat or sleep. Her words come
out in spasms. Her eyes look like
they're wrapped in cellophane ... " Jock
just shrugged, "God knows what she
wants. "
I walked over to luliet's that night.
When I saw that freeway pulsing bet~een Juliet's laundry-room and kitchen,
and luliet just staring with· red-running
eyes at the surge of traffic below, I
knew what she wanted. I climbed the
stairs at the side of her house and
knocked on the door until she let me
in. She had a smile on her face that
looked like it was tied behind her head .
"Go home, " I said to Juliet.
"I am home," she drooled .
"Go home," I said to luliet and
threw her out into the sparkling
headlights of a Galaxy.

material.
A drop-box program will be started first which
includes an educational program to "raise con·
sciousness" and a truck to collect the material
and tak e it for sale to the Central Recycling
Ce nt er, 215 W. 7th Avenue, Olympia.
Four big 'yellow containers will be placed in
convenient locations and will probably be open
two Saturdays a month. Volunteer organizations
would make sure only recyclable materials melal, glass, aluminum, newpaper , and card·
board - are dropped off.
City staff are contacting volunteer groups to
see if they would like to join the program .
Groups will keep all money made from the sale
of recycled material.

Hearing on Percival Creek Bridge
Department of Ecology oflicials have s<.:heduled a hearing on March 20 to decide whe.her the
construction of a bridge would destro', the environmentally sensitive Percival Creek Gorge.
DOE must issue the construction permits for the
bridge. This bridge would span Percival Creek
from Evergreen Parkway to Cooper Point Road,
providing a new west side link that would ru~
directly through a propo.sed auto mall.
City Coun cil members Kelley, Lux, and Knit·
tie voted against changing the creek's enviro nmental designation to allow for construction a nd also were in the minorit y on initial
passage of a local improvement di strict. This
district was created when Olympia Mayor Dave
Skramstad broke a tie vote. The local improvement dist rict would finance 213 of the cost of
construction . West side business owners have until about March 22 to fi ght paying $2 million
co nstruction costs. According 10 state law, property owners must gather signatures representing 60 percent of the assessed property to stop
t he project.
Environmentalists and other civic groups remain opposed to the project because they say
it is not needed, will not so lve traffic flow pro·
blems, will benefit only the auto mall dealers,
and will significantly damage the irreplaceable
Percival Creek and cove with polluting runoff,
as well as damage caused by actual construction
of the bridge.

if the rainy weather persists it's easier to ignore/rom a hot tub"}
March 15, 1984

Long ago, in the dark and unrecorded
reaches of time, Mankind was poorly
clothed. He had to rely upon the skins of
animals to keep him warm . Animals were
extremely reluctant 10 give their skins up
for this purpose and, as a consequence,
large numbers of early men and women
were very cold. As members of the mammal club, Mankind was ootorious for being the least hairy of all that group, reminding some objective observers of a shaved
dog walking on its hind legs . Therefore,
animal skins were very important for th e
survival of this poorly equipped species.
Even when men did manage to wrest
sk ins away from animals, Ihey were often
still cold since, as is widely known, animal
sk ins do not come equipped with eilher
buttons or zippers. Thus it was that even
Ihose people who managed to have a n
an imal skin noneth eless got frostbite,
oftentimes in very embarrassing places.
The n too, early man found it nearly imposs ible to fashion a three-piece s uit out
of animal sk ins. This delayed the pr o fes sion of Law for cenluries and severely curta iled church attendance.
Sizing was anOlher problem. Early
hunters had 10 allempl to judge Ihe sizes
of a nimals from a distance. Oftenlimes,
these hunters has tQ kill hundreds of
animals before they finally found one in
their size.
Early hunters were often driven 10 the
hunt by their mates who chronically complained of having nothing to wear.
Many of these hunters were injured
because of the in sistence of their mates to
have them acquire ever more unusual
garments. 1'.li.s desire for the unusual made
it necessary for pre-historic man to range
ever wider in hi s quest for garme nts . As a
consequeflce he oftentimes found himse lf,
a)loo far from home to make it back, or,
b) in confrontalion with a beast several
times his size and strength who just happened to inhabit an exotic hide.
Most of these problems with clothing
were les sened when early men decided to
take sheep into their living quarters. Thi s
discovery was made when the first prehistoric man lea rned that by wrapping
himself around a sheep, he could sleep
warmly throughoul the night. This was a
definite improvement in the human con dition. However, Ihere were problems.
Many early sheep were restless sleepers
and, as such , disturbed the rest of early
man . Many people complained of blealing
noi ses.
As awareness and technology grew in anc ie nt man , the idea arose of shaving the
sheep so that men could sleep with the wool
a nd not with Ihe sheep . Thi s was a bit bet ler, but t hi s, too, caused problem s . Many
sheep fro ze to death and hunger replaced
warmth as a primary human problem .
Also, the invention of weaving was still
several centuries in the future a nd early
m an had a very difficult lime keeping the
balls of wool gathered aboul hi s ;lerson.
Besides, many people suffered from ilching
and irril ating skin rashes.
Modern man can look back on suc h
times with a wry smile at Ihe quaintness of
hi s ancient ancestor. The Iwenlielh cenlury
has found a solution to m a nkind' s clothing
problems. This so lution dovetailed with Ihe
domestication of Ihe ester, a creat ure so
elusive and nocturna l th all hey co-ex isted
with human beings for ce nturi es before
Ihey were actuall y known 10 exi sl. As is
now we ll known, esters are small, in credib ly furry crcalures who live LInder
beds. T he propensil y for rapid breeding
made Ihe m in credibly numerous. When
human beings di scovered Ih e m and learned how to harvesl them, a new day dawned in Ih c history o f human apparcl.

As with other imporlant breakthroughs
in the human saga, the initial discovery required years of thought before a suitable
application of knowledge was to result.
Due 10 Ihe size of the esters, Ihe use of
them to provide clothing was, at fir sl,
overlooked. In fact, esters were Ihought to
be useless and even an annoyance; Ihe bane

In the 1950's, sc ie ntist s and clothing
manufacturers hil upon the idea of pUlling
a whole lot of eSler togelher to make
mat erial. Thu s was born the poly-ester,
which, as mosl people know, m eans
"many eslers." The invention of material
made from the hides of many esters revolutioni zed the clothing indus try and insured
that Ihe growing numbers of people in th e

world would have raiment.
Iro nically, however, the introduction of
I he polyester set human being back to the
days of cold and deprivation. The process
o f melding Ihe esters togelher was not
perfeci a nd Ihe material produced had
microscopic holes in it at the point where
Ihe ester were pressed together. So it was
thai it came to pass that human being,
a ll houg h well and fas hionably dressed,
relurned to their roots and again fo und
themse lves as cold as they had been in the
days before zippers and buttons.
