Board of Trustees learns costly lesson
ily Tomlin is coming .to Olympia
I
Please see
~'o ry
By francisco A. Chateaubriand
Evergreen's Board of Trustee members
have learned a valuable lesson in how to
hire a President. It may have been a costly
lesson as well.
The Presidential Search Committee is
discouraged that six month s of tremendously hard work has gone down the drain
along with the over $20,000 it cost to conduct the search. What may be even worse
is the prospect of trying to find equally
qualified candidates in the climate of
distrust and uncertainty that the Board has
created in the eyes of many outsiders, including potential candidates.
Clark Kerr, president emeritus at the
Unversity of California and a well-known
leader in the higher education establishment, has been quoted repeatedly on the
difficulty Evergreen faces in conducting
another search . Kerr says rumors of trou ble or possible dissension within the
Evergreen board are already in circulation
and the school will be hard-pressed to come
up with top level candidates.
Patrick Callan, one of the finalists for
Ihe presidency, expressed relief at no longer
being involved with the search.
- "I don't know what's going on up
there," sa id Callan. "I'm out of it and glad
to be out of it."
The other fina lists, Joan Wadlow,
Thoma s Feld, and Orin Smith, ail
withdrew their names from consideration.
The most damaging blow came from Feld,
President of Mount Mercy College in
Iowa. After being offered the job he stunned the board by declining the position,
staling a change in circumstances [at
Mount Mercy] made it unfeasible for him
to leave.
Orin Smith, a management consultant
with the firm of Touche-Ross, criticized the
board 's handling of the situation. Smith
said no one contacled him 10 tell him he
was a finalisl.
"I found out from the newspaper that
was a finalist," he said "What I know
is from whal I read in the papers."
This has been the mosl frequenl criticism
of the board - its lack of communication
with Ihe candidales, the press and even the
administratiol\at Evergreen.
Board chairwoman Thelma Jackson
disagrees wil h t he criticism saying, "It's
not a fair assessment" of the boards
"Where is this perceived breakdown of
communication?" asked Jackson . "With
the board? This is where most candidates
perceived the breakdown to occur but that
simply isn't accurate."
Jackson explains that timelines were set
and followed but a lack of supporl staff
made it difficult to inform Ihe candidates
of the board's actions as quickly as it
would have liked. Often times a storyhungry press got hold of and published information before the candidates could be
contacted, according to the chairwoman.
Jackson explained that the Presidential
volunteers whose basic function was to
keep in touch with the candidates wh ereas
the board was without Ihat advantage. She
speculated thai perhaps the candidates had
gotten used to an extremely high level of
efficiency that I he board could not be
reasonably expected to mainlain.
Jackson added Ihis was nol an excuse
but rather an allempl 10 clarify Ihe
situation.
Several key administration and slaff
members of Evergreen have expressed
varying degrees of dissatisfaction with the
board's performance.
Relations, says she's "really sappointed"
with the results of the search.
"Even Ihough I understand it can lake
91012 monlhs [to seleci a candidale] I'm
frustrated that it took us as long as it did
(7 monlhs] and that we came up empty,"
said Washburn. She feels that cour lesy
calls should have been extended by the
board, adding t hat the board .. acted as
responsibly as they knew how ."
Former Director of College Relation s,
Judy McNickle feels the board left her office in a lurch. McNickle, who resigned last
week to go to work al the legislature, was

Academic Advising not utilized, revisions planned.
By Lea Mitchell
Last quarter at the end of geology lab,
my professor handed out a survey created
by the Academic Advising personnel. The
survey was designed to discover how
students did or did not utilize the current
advising program and in several places it
asked for our suggestions. A few students
. stayed behind to fill it out
One of the questions asked, who do I go
to for advice? Although my immediate
response was " Mom," I stated that faculty in ·my program and a faculty friend were
my major sources. I also admitted that in
the two quarters since I had transferred to
Evergreen, I had never visited my faculty
advisor.
Apparently my response echoes a general
trend that is influencing the current
reconstruction of the advis ing program at
Evergreen. For several months, Academic
Advising personnel have been discussing
the need to develop an advising program
tha t will better serve Evergreen students.
THE EVERGREEN
STATE COLLEGE
O lymp,o . w/\ 9RlOl •
Because Evergreen does not institute
structured degree programs with corresponding requirements, students design
their own degrees and decid what programs
or contracts will fulfill their educational
,goals. This freedom is one aspect of
Evergreen that attracts students 10 the college. It can also become a frustrating
burden which causes some'st udents to leave
the school.
The present system assigns faculty advisors to all new students . While each
faculty member is assigned an average of
twenty students, not all faculty members
are natural advisors.
Motivated students tend to seek out
faculty they can relate to and these persons
are not always the assigned advisors. Earle
McNeil, coordinator of Academic Advising, feels that this should be encouraged
and incorporated into the present advising
program.
• 'What needs to develop," McNeil
states, "is a mutual agreement between the
student and the faculty advisor which
would be reinforced by repeated

Domestic

Dear L:dill\r:
Firsi. I ha\ c a number of n:spomcs 10

Di"orted? Elisa's murder wa, th(' final acl
inlhc long 5Iring o f even IS Ihal may occ ur
in an abus i\ e rela lionsh ip. II was the
ullimate act of Domeslic Violence (DV).
II is impera l ive Ihal we all see it as Ihal.
Second, Ih e Safeplace is a non -p rofil
organizal io n working to educale the public
'0 Ihat a lll evds of Domestic Violence are
"oppeo. Therefore it is imperati ve f(lr
Safep lac e to spea k out when another aCI
of violence occ urs.
Al so , Ihe hair goes up on t he back of my
neck when I hear Ihe label "women-hatin g
wacko." PUlling men who arc violent in
an "abnormal" category disregards the
potential in "normal" men to be violenl.
II becomes all tou ea.sy to ignore that
potential to be abus ive, in o urselves. But
DO ask the question - What ha ve I ever
oone Ihat has been vio lence? Look at
yo urse lvcs, yo ur friends and your families.
Can you s~e abusive dynamics oecming?
Look morc a t the mcdia a nd its encouragement fo r mcn to be in co ntrol and

showeo. DV is not only physical, but cmolional abuse as well. DON'T LET ABUSE
OF ANY KIND CONT INU E. Talk with
['l'oplc about it. Ca ll the DV ho!linc or
Safeplace fur marc inform at ion and SlIpport. Check out Ih e g roup " forming on

There is a DV support g roup meeting for
victims in Olympia. Wom e n don't have 10
leave their rclaliomhips 10 be gellin g s upport fro m the outside.
I heard many times in th ese last three
weeks, "Evergreen will never be the
sa me ." I would lik e to think that TESC is
now a more awa re campus, but it can o nly happe n if people take aC li on. Elisa had
exp lored a ll the lega l options she co uld,
and that wasn't enough. This tells us our
law s are not des igned to protect the vic l im
enough. Be aware of what's happening in
the icgi sla ture a nd lobby for stronger
prevent ion la ws.
Most of all - keep talking about your
feelings. Keep talking about issues surrounding DV. Use the information given in the
4/ 19 C P J to di spel myt hs when you hear
t hem being reeled ofr. Evergreen is nOi exempt from DV . Abuse happens in a ll class,
ra ce and sex st rUl· tures of soc iety and that
in cludes TES C. So many peop le asked in
these last three week s, "What makes a man
ki ll ?" Men kill because of old pallerns a nd
cond itioning fro m early childhood, a lso the
messages from o ur o;ocie ty.
I. earn mor e abo llt this. Ca ll the TES C

Dear EditOJ:
I would like:o address Mr. O'Nei ll concCrIling hi s !cller in your Apr il 24 issue of
this year. i had heard from severa l people
abuut the "wimpy, liberal wr itin g and
ubsess ive and se lf-centered compassion"
that Mr. Chateaubriand used in hi s descriptive arl icle of Mr. Pimentel, and decided
to read il myself.
I did not (and still don't) know thi s
human bein g named Michael , a lth ough i
had encountered him with other friends o f
mine. i think i am safe in assuming tha t you
didn't e ith er, or else you might not treat
him as though he were more inferior than
your ca ts. i am in no way condon in g hi s
ac tion s, hut i am appalled at the
judgements th a t you so eas il y (and
vehemen tl y) thr ow a t a nother living
person.
I am s ick and I ired o r how man y or us
(cspcl' iall y the m ass media) pretend tha t
th ere arc "goud guys" and "bad guys ."
Right, Michael Pimcntel (with hi s sly [!cin)
is the devil incarnatc, and the Russian s are
ba rbaria ns. Rcmemher, i don't (Undone
killing ... anything ... (i see no reaso n 10 kill
mosquitoes or ants or anyl hin g needlessly), but this was a human being who was
trying to li ve out hi s life and make a ll th e
sp lit ends meet. i am tempted to ca ll him
" normal" but there is no such thing (unless
i have never known it and am on "the outside" of humanity myself) .
"To perceive sume t hing as 'ev il ' is to im agin e that that object. that person, is not
a pari of me.
He's some thing e lse.
To perceive 'evil' is 10 attempt to deny
t hat we are all one." (Paul Williams in Das
It' s so easy to call so meone we don't
know a "woman-ha tin g wacko," or may
i use a hollow chocolat e rabb it of a cliche :
anima l. We a re all anima ls , and nOi just
-- in the scientifi c sense of t he word. Here we
are, Homo sapiens .. . we have been g iven
the sacred fire, illumination from the great
go d Logic, and It blesses us with co ntrol.
And anyone who ca nnot control
themselves or their environment is a pagan ,
a belter-off-dea d animal who has nothing
10 offer the world. There is a di sease, Mr.
O'Ne ill, called hypog lycemia , which makes
it so that a person cannot fun cti on in our
fas t-paced, abstract, alienating society . It
is not that they are psyc hoti c , neurotic, or
imane o r brain -damaged . There a rc a lo t
of "savages" in thi s country (at leas t) who
don't know that they ca n functiun adequatel y if they ch a nge their diet.
It seems t hat in your fa natical hatred yo u
forgot to rea li ze the purpose of Francisco's
article . Remember, he was str iving to be
a fri end to thi s confused man , tryin g to
he lp him work himself ou!. He appare ntl y
ca red about thi s person and was getting to
know what he was li ke. When the incident
happened, Francisco wa s involved
somewhat personally with the sit uation and
wrole an art icle, desc ribing Michael as he
had gotten to know him - as another one
of millions of struggling people, not a crazed, maniacal killer. The devil, Mr. O'Neill,
is not a struggling individual like Michael.
And i'm sorry, but your wacko-hating insens itivit y o nl y makes our socia l situ ation
worse .
i wanl to thank Francisco for expressing his love at a time w hen all of us (in cluding him self, you a nd i) were in s hock .

Edilor's Note: First, there were no other
pictures of Michael Pimentel availahle at
the Regis trar or anywhere else. Second, if
a person looks at a photograph and sees
a killer or an Evergreen student or
whalever stereotype he or she envisions,
that is a personal hias. That neighhor was
predetermined to see whatever he or she

Enforced adolescence alienates youth, says Hill

Dy David Scoll
"·Young people are suffering from unnecessary and prolonged adolescence; from
soc iety' S imposition of more and more
obstacles to their assuming adult roles,"
asserted Dr. Patrick Hill in his lecture April
25, entitled The Alienation of our Young
People. Dr. Hill examined the statistics and
explored t he possible causes and potental
solutions to problems faced by American
youth.
Hill is provost and vice-president at The
Evergreen State College and the father· of
three teenage chi ldren. His lecture, held at
the First United Methodist Church, was the
seco nd in the on-going Piece of my Mind
lecture series.
According to Hill, the national drop-out
rate for high school students is 25 to 30 percent with 40 percent in large urban centers.
Washington State's drop-out rate is currently 30 percent.
Among t he several reasons H ill cites for
this high drop-out rate is the schoo l's ,!Oor
execution of its two vital responsibilities:
forging meaningful links between society
and its next generation, and preparing the
child for adult responsibility. Hill believes
the high drop-out rate will not improve until we tailor the school system to young
people instead of the economy.
"Crime statistics involving young people are alarming," says Hill. In 1980, 56
percent of those arrested nationally were
under 24 years old. According to a recent
White House conference on chi ldren, current trends suggest that one out of every
nine youngsters will appear before a
juvenile court before the age of 19.
Suicide is second only to automobile accidents as the leading killer of young
Americans, says Hill. He adds, "many of
the fatal automobile accidents involving.
young people in this country are disguised
suicides." From 1956 to 1974, suicide in
the 15-19 year old bracket almost tripled.
In the last seven years, suicides of while
males, ages 15-24, doubled; the figure now
exceeds the general national average.
Determining the causes for youthful
crime and suicide is difficult and complex.
Says Hill, "The younger generation of
Americans has grown up with expectations
of personal fulfillment that are radically
different from their · parents and grandparents. They make far more demands
from Ii fe and themselves but will tolerate
less in terms of resistance, conflict, and
hassles than did their parems ."
American soc iety is c hanging so rapid Iy, young people often perceive their
parents' experiences as irrelevent.
Another con tributin g factor to the
alienation of young Americans is the threat
of nuclear annihilation. Adolescents can
not help but wonder if the sacrifices th ey
make today a re meaningful. "Th is irra tional factor has entered into th e
mainstream of how we conduct our
business," says Hill.
Hill also cit es ri sing sta tistics of drug a nd
a lco ho l abuse and the "strange and alarming" inc rease of psyc hosomat ic di seases
(emot iona ll y caused physical ai lm ents) in
you ng people. Hill quotes the Na/ional
Heal/I! SUrl'ey as say in g, " sto mach ulcers
in people under 17 more than doubled
from 1970 to 1980 (and] hyper-tens ion
doubled from 1975-1980.
To understand this, asserts Hill, we must
accept that young people are living in a
world where all the valucs arc questioned,
and the options of who to become are so
overwhelming that many young people feel
fragmented and chaotic.
With so many women working, mor.:
and more children are coming home to
empty houses. "We are facing a disintegration of the family in western democracy
and the rapidity of this disintegration is
unique to the U.S.," states Hill.
Potential solutions to problems faced by
American youth, according to Hill, would
begin with major changes in the two crucial
institutions already mentioned, family and
school.
Hill suggests adults, and parents in particular, need to extend mor e contact and
care to young people without prolonging

their adolescence. To bring families closer,
Hill recommends co-operative day care
cen ters , co-ope rative families, extended
sc hool days, subs idizing fami"li es, and
creat ing new institutions.
Hill believes th e reformation of sc hools
should be nOlhing like what is being
discussed na t ionall y.
Hill says t hat young people need mo re
structure, but adds, "addi·tional courses in
math ema ti cs a nd sc iences will not meet
their need to partiCipate mea nin g full y in
soc iety ...
Hill urges adults to "cease thinking of
yo uth as a preparation for adulthood, but
rather treat YO llthfulness as a worthwhile
state in it sel f."
Hill fini shed his lecture by say in g, "One
of the most striking things about Everg reen
student s, in contrast to the cynicism of the
east coast, is that Evergreen students
believe in the future. They are willing to
enter long term projects . These people ex ude that confidence that says 'despite the
absurdity of it all, we will triumph.' "
Olympia's fourth annual CROP
HUNGER WALK will be held on Sunday,
May 6. Walk Co-coordinators are Tim
Marshall and Chris Johnson . Tim Marshall
says, "For the past three years the people
from the Olympia area have generously
given of their time and resources to help
raise money to aid hungry people around
t he world and here locally. Each year the
Walk has grown in number of participants
and in the amount of money raised. Last
year over 1200 local residents participated
and raised over $40,000. Twenty-five percent stayed in the Olympia area and went
to Meals on Wheels, St. Vincent de Paul,
and the Food Bank ."
The Walk is a maximum of ten miles.
Walkers walk or jog all or part of the
route. It will begin and end at Olympia
High School's Ingersoll Stadium . Registra-
tion is at 12:30. Walk begins at 1:30.
Walkers find sponsors who pledge to contribute a certain amount for each mile
walked. The money is distibutedto hunger
fighting programs both here and overseas.
Seventy-five percent of the funds will go
to hunger relief and self-help development
projects sponsored by Church World Service. Twenty-five percent will be used in
the Thurston County area to relieve
hunger.
For additional infromation, walk forms,
or to obtain a speaker call Tim Marshall

ask a question that has the most

to make their public presentation June 4

Donors and vo lunt eers are asked to contact Missen at the Peace a nd Conflict

"Now is the time for all good people to
come to the aid of their Peace Ce nter!"
The Evergreen Peace and Conflict
Resolution Center announced last week
their plans for a student-created presentation on living with nuclear weapons titled,
"IMAGES FROM UNDER THE
CLOUD."
"We walit to create a so rt of multi media collage of all the diverse images and
feelings that the Evergreen community has
around this issue," said Cliff Misse n, the
project co-ordinator. "We will be focusing on two main bents : first, the human
cost and the accompanying fear and
despair; and secondly, all the efforts and
new ideas pouring forth from the desperate
situation. Hopefully, when we put the two
side by side, we'll begin to see a much more
hopeful outlook and create so me good
energies! "
Missen sa id he will be circulating
throughout the campus these next few
weeks asking student s and friends of
Evergreen to donate images which "speak
to them" about life in the shadow of
nuclear weapons. Images need not be
original. "I've noticed a cliche that has
come out in my conversations with people
about this iss ue," he says. "Folks will say,
'yeah, I've always been worried about
nuclear weapons, but it really came home
to me when ... ' Well, we're going to try to
put a whole bunch of these sorts of images
together. "

Spinal Tap: heavy metal parody 'Yorks
AN INTERVIEW WI
By Francisco A. Chateaubriand
By Dean Batali
Lily Tumlin will be Appearing Nightly May 10, 11 and 12 al Ihe CapilOl Thealer,
206 E. 51h. Tickels are $15.50 and $17.50 and are available al Ihe box office.
Once hailed as England's loudest band,
Spinal Tap has reunited for an American
tour to promote their latest album, "Smell
the Glove." Described by critics as "very
offensive and very sexist," the band's antics are recorded in a documentary by Martin DiBergi entitled This is Spinal Tap .
DiBergi (who proudly admits his responsibil ity in directing the little dog and lhe
covered wagon for the dog food commercial) wanted to catch the "sights, sou nds ,
and smells of a hard working rock band
on the road." With singles such as "Sex
Farm Woman" and "Big BoUom" (whose
class ic lyrics en li ghten, "Big bottom, big
bottom, lalk about bum cakes, my girl's
got 'em/Big bottom drives ine out of my
mind. How could I leave lhis behind?"),
Spinal Tap creates an inleresting s ubject.
Spinal Tap firsl appeared as the
Temsmen on "Pop, Look, and Lislen" in
1964. After a number of personnel changes
(lheir first drummer died in a freak gardening accident, another blew up on stage, and
Lily Tomlin is a special kind of comedienne. Her characters, and she has many,
a rc as real to her fan s as Miss Tomlin herselr.
Tess the bag lady, Mrs. Judith Beasley, Rick, Glenna, Edith Ann and o(course
Ernest inc, t he epitome of telephone operator effeciency and wit. All of t hem possess
that magic inner quality, a realness we can latch onto. This alone makes Mi ss Tomlin
unique.
Alan Rich, writing in New York magazine says of Mi ss Tomlin: "She is an incredibly astute observer of human silliness., and awesomely adept at using her body,
includin g her plianl, infinitely expressive fal'e, to re -c reate not only the foolincs s but
also th e ge nuine roignance in her vast gallery of craz ies. An actress of thi s magnitude
can know no horizen s ."
L.ily Tomlin was born Se rtcmber I, year un srecified. in Detroit, Michigan. Th e
daug ht er of a blue-t:ollar fac tory worker, Tomlin grew ur in a predominantl y hlack
neig hhorh ood. She allribules much of thl' feeling she puts int o her c hara cte rs to her
experiences I here .
"The people Iherc Illl.ved Ille , del ighted me and they maue me lallgh ," says Miss
Tomlill. "I fed affeclion for thclll ... The great variety of neighbors I had as a chilu
laul!hl Ille my mOs l importallt lesson. I saw that everybody was alike. We may nOI

The stage is like a gencs is of eve rythin g

natural for Ill e to be on th e stage.

you're perfor ming ?
Tomlin: No. I never do th at. I never have.
(Dr(Jl/wlically) I ne ver have and I never
will.
I've heard about olher people duing
that but _ well, let mc think. I have done
so me stuff, goofy st uff. If I'm in a par tiClt/ar city and there' s reall y so mething
going on, so metimes yo u mi g ht make

Inevcr did it as a matter of cour"~, like

One year I did a big video show and
I used to travel with a big video crew and

shoo t the lown, (Iallgh s) becau se we had
the ca meras and everything and it was just
part of what would be fun to do. We'd
go int o local places and shoot the scenery
and shoot \'leople (Iaughillg) and then play
it as people were entering the auditorium
for the show that night. That kind of
stuff.
CP J : I f someone told yo u" Li Iy Toml in.
for the rest of your life you ha ve to be
one of th e characters yo u've created."
who would you most want to be?
Tomlin: I've tried to think about Ihi s
my~e1f, yo u know . I te ll you - Ma yhe
m y bag lad y would be 'he mo st fun.
CPJ: Tess?
Tomlin: Ycs, because she's absolutely in domitablc. She'll go a nyw here, do
anything, co nfron t anyhody, and she's in
a manic state so s he 's a lwa ys ve ry higll
and h yper . up a nd c uriou s. She', still
c hildlike, too.
CPJ: And she can get away with a lot too.
Tumlin:(Laughs) Yes, she call ge l away
with a lo t, so ii's a lot of fun to be Tess.
Whether you could be it 24 hours a day,
I don't know.
U'J: Were you at all like Edilh Ann when
you were a child?
Tomlin : Oh, probably to so me extent,
and then f used a 101 of my own life to
create Edith Ann, to create her life slory.
Edith Ann is a fictitious c hild and I put
her in between my brother a nd myself and
made us her younger brother and older
sister.
CPJ : There was anolher lillie girl charaetor you created who was on yo ur Appearing Nighlly album Tomlin: Oh, Little Lily.

CI'J: Right. S he had a bi g crush on her
teacher. Mi" Sweeny. That's always heen
one of Illy fa vo rite pi eces. Little Li ly's
rantasy about her teacher and remembering how las t year she rronounced island
'is land' is wonderful.
Tomlin: Yeah, I love that piece too. You
know, Ihe re was a Miss Sweeny and I did
say 'is land' so ii's built on the truth. It's
exaggerated to some extent but it 's
basically true .
CP,,: But then you carr y it oul all the way
to Little L.ily 'martyring' herse ll' whell
she's h.it by a bus.
Tomlin: Yes. falltasi/.in g that SO IllC
tragedy would co me a ndlhen everybody
would rccogni7.c ,hal I had been ill -Ireated
(Iallghs).
CPJ: Another character of yours I rc~lly
lik e is Rick. yo ur s uper-macho guy who
han gs out at sing les bars never having any
luck . H e's easy to laugh at yet yo u're able
to m a ke him so milch morc than just a
caricature that I find myself identifying
with him .
Tomlin: Well, it's so easy, particularly at
thi s time. il's easy to do a macho kind of
g uy and jusl ridi c ule him and I real ly
didn't want to . Rick's not any sadder
than anybody el se in the wor ld but he' s ...
CpJ: But it's the context in which you've
presented him Tomlin: Yeah, he' s low. He's in a bad
time right now . A lot of reople arc hip
to maeho and hi s wife's left him, he 's
clinging to a lot of o ld Sluff. You know,
he'~ rea ll y quite a vu ln erable, kind of a
sweet g uy really.
CP.I: Do you feel a need to distance
yourself from Ihe charactors that you
rlay, not in lerms of rublic image but pcrso nally, like after a performance?
Tomlin: No, I don't have any problem
with anything like that.
CpJ: There's no carryo ve r of these
characters al a ll ?
Tumlin: Well , they're very real to me but
they're there when you want them a nd
then tlley ' re gone.
CP,,: The only other person I'm aware of
who creates these complete characters the
way you do is Andy Kaufman . f wonder
how you wou ld compare yourself to him.
or wou Id you.?
Tomlin: There is a certain si miliarity in
that respect, in the fact that he wants to
create a rarticular type person and he
wants to live it out to the extenl that he
even gets Tony Clifton la character
created by Kaufmanl a parking SpOl at the
st udio and all.
Ilove that kind of fantasy too. I mean ,
many times I've done stuff like that.
Sometimes when f go into a city, if
somet hing presents itself so that it's kind
of like street theater and a lot of fun , I'll
do it.
One thing thai co mes to mind is when

This is Spinal Tap_ And this is all made
up. But you can't tell that from this
wonderfully done documentary of the fictional heavy metal group. Rob Reiner (of
"All in the Family") directed the film and
plays filmmaker Martin DiBergi. He and
the three principles (Michael McKean,
Christophe r Guest, and Harry Shearer) improvised much of t he script and give
realistic life lO Spinal Tap and their music.
Reiner shot and edited more than a hundred hours of interviews with the band
members. As a result, we sec actual discussions and spur of the mom e nt answers
from t he mu sicians .

the block from th e night bcrore. So Mrs.
Beasley went out and stayed out all day
with them, as a Red Cross vo lunt eer and
\'lassed out coffee and donuts a nd

CPJ: Were yo u s polted?
Tomlin: Well su re, Ihe fan s love it. They
just go on the tri\'l. They want to go on
the rantasy. They're very solicitous of
Mrs . Beasley's life because they know lhat
a few years back she and her husband
Haro ld had so me trouble but they've
reconci led everyt h ing,(laughillg) They
know a ll Ihat stuff. They know the kids
and Mr~. Beasley' s dog and the y JUSl
know al\ those things.
You see, they wou ld abso lut ely never

Now the media, when it comes around
they say "C'mon Lily, get off it for a
minute and let's get serious." But of

CP J: Besides your performances, how a re
you go in g to pass the time in' Olympia?
Tomlin: Everybody keeps ask in g me that!
What' s the maHer with Olympia?
CPJ: Yeah. That you felt you were JUSl

Tom lin: Oh my God!
CI'J: I was just wondering how you feel,

Tomlin: Well, I guess I'm preparing to

there because shortly after thai I did lhe

The Board of Trustees has suffered from

A slaff m ember who wishes 10 rem ain

- The board is a relatively new one wilh

- No board mcmber has ever pari icipalcd

Chairwoman Jackson says the Trustees

"The re was hope that someo ne wou ld

said.
The Cha ir woman a lso pointed out that
Evergreen Provost Patrick Hill was chosen
during a second search when the fir st one

I'm sure that everyone in the TESC com munity know s that Evergreen is a n alternalive 10 the main stream of higher educalion offe red at most co ll eges and uni versities. But how many of us realize thai our
S & A (Services and AC li vities) Board is the
on ly o ne of it s kind in the state of
Wash ington, and, for thai malter , li kely
10 be with out compa r ison among most
other w lleges througho ut the nation?
The root of the distinction is Ihis: We
are the on ly school that allows student
representatives 10 determine Ihe annual
distribut ion of all aClivity funds. A ll other
st udenl bodies determine I he distribution
of fifty percent or less. T he majority of
their funds are used to pay for fixed cos ts
a ssoc ia ted wilh ho using or st ud ent union
build ing construction debts , intercollegiate
ath letics, and vario us department related
aClivit ies (ie, music. drama. debate). In
co mpari so n. our S & A Board is a particularly powerful group.
As s uch, the Eve rgreen Adm in istrative
CQde (EAC), wh ich dete rmi nes the com posilion of the S & A Board and the
Allocatio n Review process, must be viewed as a very important set of guidelines.
Throughout the history of Evergreen. there
have been five DTF' s wh ich were charged
to review the EAC guidelines pertinent to
S & A. The most recent of these is current ly
working through this process, having been
charged by Larry Stenberg, the Dean of
Studenls and Enrollmenl Services, in
December of 1983.
Many of the issues we're addressing may
appear at the outset to be fairly sim ple, yet.
in aCluality, are fa irly complex. For that
reaso n, we are seek ing Ihe input of as wide
a cross-section of our cOlT1m unity as is
possjble .
For example , a sometimes problematic
issue is this: the EAC currently specifies
that the S & A Board sho uld be composed
of six Sl udent s, one faculty, and one staff.
The facult y requirement has consis lently
been a problem for the Board. Most fa cul t y members are simply not willing to commit the lime and energy needed to be a
Board member. Anyone having suggestion s (or reso lutions) on this issue is highly
encouraged to reply to the surveys being
How should Ihe compos iti on of the
Board compl y wilh TESC's Affirmalive
Act ion policy' Siuden ts who arc inl erested
in becoming Hoard members currenlly
nominale themselves ror t he posilion s. The
S & A Board Coordinato r andlhe Director of Studenl AClivities make Ih e fi na l
decis ions. As such, Affirmative Act ion
po licies are ad hered to simply through happe nstance, if at a ll . [s this a desirable si tu ation? S hort of s pecifically a llowing "selec i
sludent grou ps."ie, women, Third World
Students . etc., a specified number of seals
on the Board, how might this situat ion be
rectified?
Another food for thought item: S & A
Board members a re now pa id siudeni
wages for about three hours worth of work
a week. Certai nl y that doesn't near ly approach compensation for their time and
energy spent for Board act ivit ies. However
we must sti ll ask t hi s question: Should thei r
paycheck s be a higher or lower priority
than other funding reques;s?
Recently, the S & A Board volu ntari ly
app roved the a ll ocation of student funds
to assist in covering the college's overspent
operat ing budget. This generou s gesture
helped to cover TESC' s utility bill. Does
a "gift" of this sort set a precedent for the
S & A budget to be skimmed again in the
future if the co ll ege is in financial strails?
How would an action of this sort affect the
individual budgets which receive a ll or
most of their monies from the S & A pool?
How might this affect YOU?
The various individuals on the S & A
Guidelines DTF have already spent many
hours researching and discussing the current code as wel l as its history. As we draw
near the final stage of actually drawing up
fresh proposals for a new se l of guidelines,
we've found that we want more of yo ur
ou tl ook. A few words or eve n a few
paragraphs ~ it'll all help! The' members
of the DTF, Steve Bader, Michelle Bird.
Sandy Greenway, Rick Rodrigues, Elella
Tiam, and Allen Whitehead, are all looking forward 10 Ihe resu lt s of the s urvey .
Please lurn your response in 10 either o 'f
the two drop boxes - one is located in the
CAB Informalion Cente r; the other is in
The Corner at " A" dorm. Thanks for your
inlerest!
