THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE
Thieves stole about $36,000 worth of
state equipment from the Communications
Building between the evening of Dec. 20 and
the morning of Dec. 21.
According to the Public Safety. therE' were
no signs afforced entry and the evidence shows
that the burglars entered the building with a
key and proceeded to access the keybox that
contained the building's master key.
Larry Savage, investigating officer for
Public Safety, said, "It is very evident that
someone walked in with a key, and then just
had a field day." Gary Russell, director of Public
Safety. added. "It was quick and organized,
people knew what tpey were after."
The burglars left 15 office doors standing
open, indicating where they had entered. After
being on the scene 25 minutes, Savage
recognized the scope of the theft and called the
Washington State Crime Lab. The crime lab
proceeded to collect fingerprints from the
rooms that had been entered by the burglars.
No results from the evidence search have been
completed, but Savage did say that they have a
lot of fingerprints to work with.
The state equipment included six
computers. none of which were more than two
months old, and media equipment checked out
from Media Loan. In addition to state

personal property has not yet been
determined.
Savage said that this is the biggest
property loss he has seen in his 17 years at
TESC.
There were also several burglaries over
the break at public schools in the Olympia,
Tumwater and North Thurston school
districts. All six of the burglaries involved
computers and video equipment, according to
The Olympian. But both Savage and Russell
pointed out that there is major difference
between those burglaries and the theft atTESC:
forced entry. Almost all of the other burglaries
included forced entry and none of them appear
to be as well planned as the burglary at
Evergreen.
Jacinta McKoy, Communications
Building Manager and Scheduler, said that
there were steps being taken the ensure the
security of the building. "There will be tighter
security measures and tighter restrictions on
late-night access, We are looking for ways to
make people feel more secure." she said. The
first step in this process was re-keying the
entire buil~ing.

Day of Absence, page 7
to
teach a lesson
by Derek Burnie
CPJ Contributor
On Thursday, Jan. 19, the Evergreen State College
campus will sacrifice, for one day, its cultural diversity.
In order to recognize and highlight the contributions
of people of color coordinators have planned the Day of
Absence, and they invite all people of color to join them in
being absent from the campus. The Day of Absence will be
followed by the Day of Presence to celebrate the diversity
that does exist here.
AccorEiing to First People's Advising Services, The Day
of Absence is a tradition ten years old at Evergreen. Inspired
by a play by the same title by Douglas Turner Ward,
members ofthe African-American community at Evergreen
organized a "Talking Shop" unity dinner in 1975. Ideas at
that event led to the broader event inclusive of the whole of
the community of color. It has since been a nearly annual
event, excepting a break from 1988 - 1991.
" The play - "The Day of Absence" - will be read on
KAOS on Wednesday, Jan. 18. Coordinators are encouraging
people to listen in to the powerful inspiration for the event.
The story concerns a southern town in which whites come
to tenns with the vital contributions made by blacks. an
understanding only made clear by their absence.
The ag~da for both days this year is full of
opportunities to engage in the spirit and the meaning of the
event. An off-campus event at the Nisqually Tribal Center
is intended as a day of community, education. and
celebration for students, staff, and faculty of color. Events
will range from small discussion groups to rejuvenating
activities such as music and storytelling. The day will include

Compiled by

TESC President Jane Jervis is skeptical of
Governor' Mike Lowry's 1995-1997 budget
proposal and the budget's impact on Evergreen.
Lowry's plan may mean that students end up
paying more for less s.ervices.
. Recognizing the restraints that Initiative
601 caused, Lowry's proposed $17.9 billion
budget creatively diverts state money that coufd
otherwise go unused and offers more lQcal
control to colleges to manage their finances in
a time of budget crunches.
Because of Initiative 601, the voter
mandated cap of state spending adopted last
year, the Governor was required to find new
ways to fund higher education. Demographics
show that higher education is going to be
increasingly in demand at the same time that
the state has less money to fund higher
education.
The budget mandates that higher
education institutions trim their budgets by 2.4
percent, increase pay to employees and take
over the tuition setting authority, causing an
almost inevitable increase in tuition for the
1995-96 school year.
It also provides an increase offinancial aid
funds and allows more students to be eligible
for the money.
Some key parts of Lowry plan are drawing
criticism from Evergreen and community
colleges, while the rest of the four year
institutions support the plan.
Finally, Ralph Underwager, one of the
FMSF founders, and a current board member,
states the following in "Paidika, the Journal
of Pedophilia," vol. 3. no. 1, 1993. Read it and
weep.
"Pedophiles spend a lot of time and
energy defending their choice. I don't think
that a pedophile needs to do that. Pedophiles
can boldly and courageously affirm what
they choose. They can say that what they
want is to find the best way to love. I am
also a theologian and as a theologian I
believe it is God's will that there be
closeness and intimacy, unity of the flesh,
between people. A pedophile can say:
"This closeness is possible for me within
the choices that I've made."
Pedophiles are too defensive. They
go around saying, "You people out there
are saying that what I choose is bad, that
it's no good. You're putting me in prison,
you're doing all these terrible things to
me. I have to define my love as being in
some way or other illicit." What I think is
that pedophiles can make the assertion
that the pursuit ofintimacy and love is what
they choose. With boldness they can say, "I
believe this is in fact part of God's will."
Lowry proposes setting up a tax diversion
plan to add more money into the states
financial aid need grant program and in the
hands of individual schools.
Under the plan, businesses would be
allowed to donate their business and
occupation taxes that they are required to pay
the state to the college or university of their
.
choosing. The money would be eannarked for
financial aid and each instituion would funnel
half of it back into the states need grant
program, that all Washington students are
eligible for.
. The program is capped at $60 million
and no individual school could get more than
$20 million. Smaller colleges like Evergreen
would be expected to compete against large
universities, like the University ofWashington,
for the money from businesses.
The tax credits would reduce the general
fund by $60 million, but Lowry expects the state
to have enough revenue to cover the difference,
By diverting tax money to dodge the
crunch of 601, Lowry has enabled schools to
get at money that under the restraints of
Initiative 601 they would not normally be able
to access. Under 601, even if states have extra
money they are not entitled to spend any
money over the imposed limit.
"This program would boost the pool of
money available for financial aid to help ensure
that everyone has equal access to higher
education,H said Lowry.
But Jervis is not so sure. "If we were very,
very, very, lucky, and very, very aggressive in
our fundraising, [we might getl a million
dollars of that money. We would have to give
back half of that to the state need grant
program, so we would get a half million dollars
and we already have, at the tuition we have
now, a two million dollar unmet need. n
Jervis said that the $60 million is
inadequate for the need across the state. She
is also concerned because she thinks this
program will pit institutions of higher
education against each other.
"We can assume that UW [University of
Washington I is going to get 20 million and
WSU [Washington State University1is going
to 20 million and that will leave the other 20
million to be divided up among the four
regional colleges and 30 some community
colleges and technical colleges," said Jervis.
Lowry's Plan
• Lowry wants
to give the
power
to raise
tuition
to Evergreen's Board ofTrustess,
resulting in an almost inevitable
tuition hike for next year
How it could affect you:
• Lowry wants to
lessen the
restriction of
financial aid so
that more
students would be eligible

·Lowry
suggests that
colleges should

mandated

• The Business

could put more
money in the

colleges and
Washington's

·Lowry wants institutions to trim up their
budgets by 2.4 percent. Jervis says that the
required cost ofliving increase will drive that
number higher
Sandy McKenzie, Executive Director of
College Relations, who heads up Evergreen's
fundraising efforts, is more optimistic about
Evergreen's ability to raise money,
Ifthe plan were adopted, her office would
focus on alumni-owned business and
businesses that have a history of donating to
Evergreen. This would be a high priority
project because of the benefits that Evergreen
students could see.
But Jervis does not see the situation as
promising. "Evergreen traditionally hasn't had
very great success in corporate fundraising,
because of our anti-corporate stance,
personality, and the way we dress," she said,
jokingly. "Because we are the smallest and

• "She would never hire big 'white men' to
teach, only small white men so black men could
tower over them and tell 'them' how to do it."
Other students attending the student
activities sponsored lecture felt differently. In
the News .Tribune, a white student, Greg
Shelley, described Mimms lecture as an
"intellectual exercise." He said it "challenged
students to confront their biases and accept
each other as individuals. n
Jervis has praise for the way the Tacoma
campus has dealt with race. She said, "The
Tacoma campus has always been much more
direct in dealing with the issues of race and
class than most schools are, including the
Olympia campus ... They're dealing in areas
people feel deeply about. There are a lot offears
now about race, class and gender. .. It makes it
often confrontational to talk about these
issues. As a society we're used to tip-toeing
around those subjects."
Jervis says a necessary part of the learning
process is to feel uncomfortable. "Education
itself, ifit'setfective, is uncomfortable. In order
to truly learn you have to be willing to challenge
what you believe and call it into question. n She
said though, Kin order to be able to do that you
must be in a supportive environment. But you

This is the challenge the Tacoma campus

race. •

Tuition from page 3
youngest school, we have the least well
developed network of private donations and
because our students don 't go out and get
rich,"
Senator Nita Rinehart (D·Seattlr), chair
of the Senate Ways and Means Committee,
told the Tacoma News·Tribune, "I think it 's a
\'ery iffY way to fund financial aid. "
Tilf TRANSFER of Power
Jervis is also concerned about another
key component of Lowry's plan - his proposal
to transfer the power to raise tuition from the
Leg islature to each institution's board .
Lowry 1I'0uid allow boards to rai se
tu iti on for in·state residen~s by six percent and
ten percen t for Qut-of·s·tate residents ..
Lowry cited giving the sc hools more
nexibility in meeting budget demands for the
,ha nges. The budget call s for the tuition raise
to pay for the mandated cost ofliving increases
lor sc hool employees.
All of the four year schools support th e
change exce pt for Evergreen and t he
commu ni ty college system.
"If the Legislature has to set th e tuition.
and has to take the heat fi'om students about
holl' high the tuition is, they are going to be
cautious about raising tuition. And they are
going to have a good reason to keep the general
funds level of support high so that they don't
have to face their constituents about tuition
going up too fast ," said Jervis.
Jervis predicts an inevitable rise in tuition
by about six percent for in-state and ten
percent for out-of-state.
Evergreen's Board ofTrustess also oppose
the transfer of tuition setting power.
In a draft policy dated Dec. 14, 1994, the
board states, "Historically the Legislature has
determined the appropriate balance between
public support (state general fund) and private
support (tuition and fees) of higher education.
The board belives the Legislature should
.continute to be responSible for achieving that
balance. "
And eve n with the tuition hikes,
Evergreen wou ld not be able to meet th e
mandated cost of living increase without
(u tting the operating budget.
"If we do th e maximum tuition hikes, we
would have to do about a three percent cut, if
we do less than the maximum tuition hikes
then we wou ld have to take a deeper cut," said
jervis. She sa id that the plan pits students
against staff.
THEPAYINCREASE
The plan directs all institution s to
provide a cost of living adjustment for higher
education employees, consistent with the K-12
employees. The increase would be 2.9 percent
in 1996 and 3.1 percent in 1997.
Employees have not received a cost of
living increase in two years , making their real
salary, after factoring in inflation and cost of
living increases, actually fall each year.
TH E(lIT
Lowry's plan also directs Evergreen to
trim the budget by 2.4 percent
In expectation of this, Evergreen has
already prepared a 2.4 percent cut in services.
However, jervis points out that the actual
cut will need to be more to meet the cost of
living increases required by the proposal.
RAISINGTilE CEILING
The least controversial part of the plan is
Lowry's intention to raise the income ceiling
eligibility from $17,000 to $30,000 for a family
of four.
Th at means that more middle class
students would be eligible for financial aid,
translating into more applicants for the aid.
TH EPROCESS
Lowry's budget proposal is only the
beginning of a long budget process that will
end when the Legislature convenes in july.
Jervis said that there wasn't much
support on the part of the Legislature for giving
the tuition setting authority away.
And Rinehart, chair of the Ways and
Means Committee, suggested to the Olympian,
that the budget at the end of July would look
very different than Lowry's.
GFrnNG INVOLVED
jervis encourages st udents to express
their views to the key committees and to Lowry
about the budget. Some of the key people are
listed below:

No one seemed to know what the

case to the Thurston County Council.
He also told the group that the recent

The city was unable to do anything, but
the group was not discouraged and decided
to get organ ized and take th eir case to the
count\'. A meeting was called for Jan. 6.
Nea rlv 40 TESC students came to the

resolution would be drafted and signatures
wou ld be collected and would be presented to
th e County Council on Monday morning.
TESC student Sarah Levy present ed the
res oluti on which had nearly 150 signatures.
The resolution claimed the Hauk·Well

the commissioners had no authority to stop the
permit and she could see no point in extending
the comment period before the permit was
granted.
Com missioner Diane OberqueU said she
did not think they could accept the resolution
and could hear no more testimony.
Tom Bjourgen , an attorney from the
prosecutor's office, was called in to clarity the
rules.
He explain ed to the groups that the
commissioners could do nothing for them. The
group protested , but he insisted the

Cuba's long standing deal with
the Soviets was roughly one ton of
sugar for one ton of oil. Now the
Cuban government cannot afford to
buy enough oil from any of its trading
partners, and a decades long
embargo prevents trade with what
could be Cuba's closest and most
viable trading partner, the United
States.
As the Cuban government tries
to ration dwindling fuel supplies,
chronic power outages stifle industry
and force living standards to new
lows. Transportation has been
severely damaged. There isn't
enough gasoline to get food from the
country to markets in the city, where
most Cubans live.
Food is in short supply as well. It
would not be unusual for an average
Cuban family to eat a meal of rice and
beans once a day. Some Cubans have
even resorted to eating stray cats.
New diseases caused by vitamin
deficiencies are crippling hundreds
upon thousands of people. A
rampant vitamin -A deficiency is set to
cause permanent blindness among

Even with a rising tourism
industry and free-market reforms,
Cubans are finding that there are no
easy solutions to this crisis, a crisis
which could destroy Cuba's 35 yearold revolution.

The Long Range Curriculum
Disappearing Task Force is inviting aU students
to participate in the development of the DTF's
recommendations before we reach the final
draft stage. The LRC DTF has asked all faculty
members to set aside one seminar period on
either Feb. 7 or Feb. 8 for student review and
discussion of the first draft that will be
presented to the faculty during their winter
retreat. This is the best opportunity to have
your ideas and concerns addressed by the DTF.
Hopefully all faculty have included time for this
discussion in their program. if your faculty
hasn't we encourage you to ask them to set aside
a seminar period so your voice can be heard.
The LRC DTF has been meeting since
June and a number of changes have been
discussed . Changes suggested have included
abolising Core, evaluating speciality areas and
expanding Part-time offerings. These and other
ideas presented by the DTF need to be
discussed by the student during the program
seminars.
On Feb. 9 ,the second day of the faculty
retreat, the students on the LRC DTF will hold
a student meeting. We will provide time for
students from each program to report to the
student meeting about the discussion and
concerns brought up during their program's
seminar. After all the programs have reported
out we will then tackle the task of drafting a
cross program response to be presented to the
LRC DTF. This is a chance for all students to
participate in the drafting of the DTF final
proposal.
All students are invited even if your are
not reporting to the meeting about your
program's discussion. There will be plenty of
time to hear input from any student concerned
with how our curriculum works and is
developed.The DTF are anxious 'to open up the
process to as many students as possible and we
believe that the program discussions and
student meeting provide an excellent
opportunity to hear from a much wider range
of students. Please check with your program
faculty about what day your program will
discuss the proposal and please make plans to
attend the student gathering on Feb. 9.

Red Square tree choice:
a nightmarish mistake
by Jay Rehnberg
~----.----------
Contriburor
Another year goes by and still we haven't
learned a thing. Almost 30years ago a mistake
was made, and today no one has the balls to
swallow their pride, and admit that somebody
fu cked up. Every year the poor trees that ring
the center of our campus get cut back, every
year they grow new branches, and every year
they get snipped off. Way back when, when
they designed this campus, they didn't think
about everything that was going to happen as
the years went by. All the leaky walkways, the
coffee cans they planted some of the trees in,
the Mods, the swampy playing fields, they
didn't cover all their bases, and overlooked a
few things. That's alright, what's done is done.
What I do have a problem with is that we keep
cutting back the Maple trees because
somebody didn't know their horticulture and
plan accordingly. One of the grounds crew gave
PAGE 8 JANUARY
12, 1995
me the reasons: They are planted too close
together and will kill each other off if allowed
to grow. So what! They all won't die, only the
ones that aren't supposed to be there in the first
place. This is typical of this school, make
everybody suffer a little, so that everyone can
be happy. Wu ssies, " I could never kill a
beautiful animal like a deer, what right do I
have?" The trees are gnarled mutants with
clubbed tipped arms. How m'lny of you out
there have had nightmares of those things
uprooting themselves and then going on a
rampage leveling the city? I know I have. Really
though , there is no need to keep breathing life
into a mistake that was made long ago. Let's
let the trees grow. They could be a huge,
beautiful presence at the center ofour campus,
60 feet tall, 60 feet wide. Let's stop playing the
sentimental urbanites we regress into, let's give
the trees a little respect, let's stop cutting them
back so we can see them grow into their full
glory.

by Joshua Rosenfield
Conrributor
My name is Joshua Rosenfield and fall '94
was my first quarter here at Evergreen. It was
disappointing in many ways. I watched many
dreams fade away into the grey cloudy haze
that surrounds the school. One dream that was
particularly dear to me was playing basketball
for the Evergreen team.
When I first started playing basketball
about eight years ago, I felt like an outsider to
the game and was easily intimidated by those
with skill. However, unlike most areas of my
life where such fears kept me stagnant ,
something inside of me urged me to stay with
the game. I put a basket in my front yard,
hanging over the street and right next to a
street lamp and practiced day and night. I was
a different person while playing - confident,
focused, and unafraid. Most importantly, I
suspended my self-judgement while playing.
fl~BtAUTIFUU
The game grew into an entire world for
me with its own language, behavior, dress,
style, attitudes and movements. It became my
passion, my love, my dance, my
expression, my joy and my
freedom.
For me, playing on
the Evergreen basketball
team would be a
supreme outlet for my
soul- for who I amand a chance to shine
and
share
my
personality with the rest
of you.
.
I wasn't here when the
issue was officially raised, but it
seems that the main reason that
there is not enough support for a team is fear.
We are terrified of what might happen if we
united as a school and as a community behind
something like a basketball team. It might

disrupt the isolation and gloom that keep us
all separate and independently focused. It
might break down barriers and, god forbid, we
might have some fun and

school pride. Oh no! As a

Or m;Jybe we're
scared thatwe might
lose. That's bullshit,
We don't have to
lose. And so what if
we do? It will still be fun
and exciting. The game is
exciting!
We already have a gym with
courts and baskets and bleachers and
scoreboards. And we have people who want to
play. All we need is uniforms and a coach.
There are five teams in our division who. would

love to see a sixth team. All you have to do is
come, pay a buck or two and cheer on the team.
I ask for you to consider what it would be
like ifEvergrrrn did not have the program that
you wanted. If you could not find the one true
outlet for your energy. Basketball is more than
a game for me and for many others. It is a
magical world where we can create, become
one with others and the rhythm ofinteraction,
and become one with our bodies and our
minds. It is all that and more. Basketball will
not hurt you. It will not bring frats and
sororities to Evergreen. It will not send waves
of negative social change and stereotypeS
through the schooL It will not take away from
financial aid or academic funding. It will just
be fun. Now can we please get a team? If we
do, I promise to be able to slam dunk by the
end of the first season, and I am white and 5'7".

Can Einstein find a sponsor?
by John Silliphant
Contributor
Would Einstein have thrived more in a
classroom or with an independent learning
contract? A contract, of course. He would have
been happy - no, thrilled - that Evergreen,
unlike most universities, offered such a
program. He would have been unhappy at how
much of a drag it is to find a sponsor. He would
have been unhappy at many of the sponsors'
non-involvement with the contracts ("Where's
my tuition going, anyway?" Einstein would
ask.) Einstein would mostly question why
Evergreen didn't commit themselves more full
heartedly in logically creating a larger base of
prepared and interested sponsors and in
allowing the independent learners to thrive
and feel that they are getting more for their
money than Q stupid diploma. Einstein would
jump up and down furiously, cursing the
damned piece of paper. (Might he also puzzle
about the need for the "The" in The Evergreen
State College?) History shows: Einstein went
through very confusing states of mind before
the fog cleared and he saw the :ight. Evergreen
is on the right path, but also confused. Could
this be a very good sign?
.Hmmm
Peace, love and lime Jell-O
by Jamie Schulmerich
Contributor
Peace, Love, and Lime Jell-O. Say it with
me. Peace Love, and Lime Jell-O. Can you think
of a better motto, slogan, or credo? The words
simply roll off the tongue. Eloquent, bold,
simple and powerful.
For years I have attached this little saying
to my every note and letter. Born of extreme
circumstances (put 250 high school kids on a
musty old ship and watch the fun begin). I have
never given it much thought. But recently I
decided to go deeper. Find out about the words
I choose to live by.
Each seems recognizable on the surface,
but deeply misunderstood beyond. How many
times have you gone to a family function only
to be brutally attacked by your aunt Maybel's
Jell-O Casserole Surprise?
Me: UWhat the hell is this?"
Various confused family members:
"Some Jell-O thing. Surprise!"
Commence normal activity of hiding
mystery foods under mashed potato~s-(I
truly believe this is why mashed potatoes were
invented}.
I began my exploration to these vastly
misunderstood words at the American
Heritage Dictionary. The first word in my quest
for knowledge was "Peace." It is defined as "The
absence of war or other hostilities." That's good
because nobody likes war. Well almost nobody
likes war. O.K, some people like war. Defense
contractors, soldiers, gun-toting lunatics, the
government - O.K. , so a lot of people like war.
But I don't. So there. Peace is a good thing.
So we come to "Love ." Nobody
understands Love. Everybody THINKS they
understand Love, but nobody really does.
Simple rule: The more you think you know
about love, the less you really do.
So anyway, it says that Love is "A deep,
tender, ineffable feeling of affeqion and
solicitude toward a person, such as that arising
from kinship, recognition of attractive
qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness."
Like I said, nobody understands Love. But it
sounds pretty good.
So peace is good, Love is good. So far, so
good. And it's pretty hard to have one without
the other.
Soldier: "I love you ."
Other soldier: ''Then could you take your
bayonet out of my ass?"
So we get to the final word in my pursuit
of encyclopedic knowledge (or at least
deliverance from boredom), "Jell·O." What do
you think of when you hear the word ~Jell-O?"
O.K, I think of Absolut too, but what else;
besides wrestling? The dictionary isn't real
clear either. But Cosby likes it, so it must be
good.
So if we have ~ace, we don't kill
anybody, and if we have love, we don't .kill
anybody, and if we have Jell-O, we're too busy
eating to kill anybody (Attention leaders of the
world: Are you listening?).
Peace, Love and Lime JeU-O. Words to
live by.
I.

Martin Luther King, Junior
Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke to America about war and
peace. He spoke to America about social justice and racial
discrimination. He spoke to America about its obligation to the
poor, and he spoke about nonviolence.
Freedom of speech and rights of assembly provided the
vehicle for his crusade against social injustice. He challenged
the way Americans thought about each other; black and white;
rich and poor; soldiers and civilians.
His faith and determination is legendary, fighting not just
for the rights of one racial group but all people. King's love and
deep concern for everyone held no distinction to speak of: not
of race, nation, denomination, class or culture. He preached of
the redemptive power oflove.
How did Americans react to the grandson of a slave? His
house was repeatedly bombed. He was stabbed in the chest with
a letter opener by a woman of his same race and background.
He was accused of everything from being insincere and seeking
the limelight for his own glory to being a Communist. He was
jailed 30 times. He lived each day under constant threat of
death-a threat that was carried out at the age of thirty-nine.
James Earl Ray aimed and fired his gun against equality
on April, 4, 1967. Martin Luther King. Jr. stood on the balcony
of his hotel room speaking with associates in the parking lot
below when the crack of the sniper's rifle silenced the Nobel
Peace Prize winner's voice for good.
At the church where the service was held. a tape of his
last speech there was played:
"If any of you are around when I have to meet my day. I
don't want a long speech. I'd like somebody to mention that
day that Martin Luther King, Jr., tried to give his life for others.
I'd like somebody to say that day that Martin Luther King, Jr.,
tried to iove somebody. I want you to say that day I tried to be
like and to walk with them. I won't have any money to leave
behind. I won't have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave
behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind. Then
my living will not be in vain."
Martin Luther King, Jr. belonged to the world and
humankind, he lost his life violently while preaching non-
violence. He now belongs to prosperity.
On Jan. 16, we 'commemorate Martin Luther King's life
and the great service he did this country. There will be no class,
no mail and banks will be closed. We call this a holiday, a break
from our routine, a three day weekend - a day free of work
and responsibility.
If we could be so lucky. We might not need to go to our
part-time jobs or attend class, but there is plenty of work still
to be done. Martin Luther King's fight has not been won, and
social injustice pervade this country, this campus.
Freedom of speech is frequently disregarded on campus
the moment that speech disagrees with the status quo. Millions
of whites disagreed with what Martin Luther King, Jr. had to
say - thousands still do. Nothing says that you need to agree
with everything anyone else says, but in exercising your right
to say what you do you must fulfil the responsibility of
respecting theirs.
. Burning trailers, tearing down fliers and name-calling is
hardly respect. Denying someone their rights to free speech is
the most common social injustice.
How do we create a community where equality and justice
prevail? There are many things you can do. The Cooper Point
JO/JrnaJis here for you to use. This is your paper. Write a forum
piece, volunteer to write stories of social significance. Influence
what goes into your paper.
Don't sit idle complaining that change isn't happening in
your community. Make the change yourself. If you see a social
injustice in progress, speak up to stop it.
How long does it take to create such a community?
To this, Martin Luther King, Jr., responds, "How long will
it take? How long? Not long, because no lie can live forever.
How Long? Not long, because you still reap what you sow. How
long? Not long, because the arm of the moral universe is long
but it bends towards justice."
