Laura Thomas,
We love you!

Joe takes responsibility'

Faculty and staff will miss one of
Evergreen's long time employees
when Laura Thomas, who has
watched the college progress from
the "m ud days" to the "Tomorrow
Won't Wait days," retires Thursday
Presently director of Financial
Aid, Laura Thomas has worked at
a variety of positions at Ever.green.
She came to the college back in'1970,
a nd began working as secre tary in
the Registrar's office.
From there she quickly rose to office supervisor. When the college
was in a pinch and without a
registrar, Thomas was able to step
in and take over the position .
She served as an interim registrar
[rom August, 1973 through April,
1974.
[n September 1974, she moved to
the Financial Aid Office and became
a counselor. She was promoted to
director of Financial Aid in 1977. It
is in this position she has worked until now.
Anyone using the Financial Aid
office has probably had some contact with Thomas. Like all the
counselors there, she is a nice,
cooperative person who can often
help you out with money!
As Ga il Martin, dean of Student
Enro llment Services says. "She
works well with every kind of student. For 'a lot of people that can be
the kind of challenge that they just
don't meet."
.

Thomas met that challenge , and
cont inued 10 meet it during the 10
yea rs she worked in Fin ancial Aid.
Thomas's co-workers told th e
sa me story over and over - Laura
is a valuable employee who will be
missed by all.
Charen Blankenship, from Per·
sonne l, comment ed, • 'She is a pillar
of the institution."
As a fond farewell. there was a
se nding off party for La ura on
Wed n e s day afternoon. Entert ainment was provided by such noted
si nge rs as the" Enro ll ment Se rvices
Choir," and the '''Career Planett\!s. "
The Enrollment Services Choir
wrote a song in her honor. Sung to
the tune of, "My Bonnie Lies Over
the Ocean," their so ng was entitled,
"Our Laura Retires Tomorrow."
Laura had actually hoped to simply sneak away from th e college that
loved her. "It's her modesty," sa id
Gail Martin, who added, "as acting

I've had to do is get Laura to come

Olander goes for the gold
by Charlie Campbell
Evergreen President Joseph
Olander gave a pitch for increasing
Evergreen's admissions to the House
Higher Education Committee, which
met January 26 to discuss higher
education costs.
It was Dr. Olander'S first appearance on Capitol Campus. Rep.
Helen Sommers, chairwoman of the
comm ittee, invited Olander to introduce himself.
The represesentatives received
more than an introduction . They
received Olander's vision of the
future.
The committee discussed comparing the costs of Washington state
post-secondary sc hools to similar
schools in other states.
In 1983, Washington state threw
out a system which alotted an
established dollar sum for each student and adopted the peer school
comparison system.
Since 1983, Evergreen and the Office of Financial Management have
clashed over which schools
Evergreen will be compared with.
Recently, Evergreen and OFM
have agreed to compare Evergreen's
tuition and faculty salaries with
regional institutions in nine states:
California, Oregon, Montana, 11_
Iinois, Indiana, Iowa, Arizona,
North Carolina and Maryland. For
costs other than faculty sa laries and
tuition, Evergreen compiled its own

list of 40 peer schools to compare
with.
"I'm quite comfortable with the
peer comparisons that have been
made," Olander told the committee.
"It shows that based upon comparison with 40 institutions like us
across the country that we fall about
in the middle range."
Chairwoman Sommers called
Olander from the back row of the
committee room, where he sat on the
right
of Stan Marshburn,
Evergreen's legislative liaison.
Olander, calling himself a "researcher in futures," warned the committee of viewing the future as what
will happen, rather than what can be
made to happen .
"One has to be careful of look ing at the future as an object about
which one aggregates data," he said.
"I think the best state policies are
those that are based on the assumption that the future is 'X' number of
possibilities. One doesn't enter the
future by studying it, ladies and
gentleman. One enters the future by
making decisions predicated upon
some vision and upon some values."
Olander referred to the increase of
students allowed by ex-Gov.
Spellman . Spellman granted 45 more
students nex[ academic year and 50
the following year. However, these
figur<:s are signifigantly less than
Evergreen's request of' 200 more
students next year and 150 the

. following year.
Olander said he is grateful for the
offer of more students, but that the
dorms are already full and the small
addition does not warrant building
more
dorms.
He said, "What we need at
Evergreen, indeed what 'all the
universities of this state need, is a
consistent policy toward growth.
Little spurts of incremental growth
are very difficult and vitiate any type
of planning."
He said Evergreen wanted to grow
for "good reasons", not "bad
reasons" . He listed the bad reasons :
to gain prestige, to inflate a school
president's ego, to reach an efficient
scale. The last reason - that if
Evergreen had more students it
could educate each student more
cheaply - has been Evergreen's
chief argument for increasing
admissions.
He listed the good reason for a
school to grow: to meet societal
needs , to diversify its faculty, to
diversify its curriculum.
He pointed out that the Council
for Post-Secondary Education
recommended that Evergreen increase admissions.
"On one had I see a mandate to
grow," he said. "On the other hand
I see a recent history of repressed
growth and non-support ."
Afterwards, Marshburn was moved to say, "He knows how to

"We really like to get students (for
the Phone-A-Thonl because they're
very natural and good fundraiscrs,"
Evergreen Phone-A- Thon coordinator, Elli e Dornan, said.
Dornan is looking for volunteers
to call 7,500 alumni, parents and
fricnds of Evergreen, February 10
thru 28. Organizers hope to raise
$27 .000 for sc holarships, ,pecial student projects and other needs not
met by state money.
"The Evergreen family is so big.
It's neat to talk to people a ll over the
country who've had different experiences with Evergreen," said Rick
Rodrigues, a studen t who will be
work ing the Phone-A-Thon for hi s
fourth year. "It's a good time and
I like to do something for the college," he said.
The money raised goes into the
Evergreen State Co llege Foundation's annual fund. This year the
Foundat ion provided funds for
forty-seven scholarships.
Other projects the Foundation has
supported include: the Twin Towers

Housing
Office
regroups
by Beth Fletcher
Linda' Hohman,
Housing
manager , has taken a leave of
absence for at least three months to
be with her daughter who was injured in an car accident last
December. Her absence has caused
a major shift in responsibilities in the
Housing Office.
Prudence Hathaway, Housing
assistant, and Jeannie Chandler,
assistant manager of Housing and
Advising Services, will now serve as
co-managers. Hathaway will perform the bulk of Hohman's former
duties.
Hathaway a 1982 Evergreen
graduate, came to Housing as an
assistant in November of 1983. She
had experience as a student
manager, and had ~one some banking. Her job with Housing centered
around the financial activities of the
office. She computed all billings,
supervised revenues, conducted interaction with Student Accounts,
and answered all billing questions .
Kitty Parker, a 1976 Evergreen
graduate, . has been hired to fill
Hathaway's
position
while
Hathaway fills in for Hohman .
Parker returned to Evergreen this
year to finish her teaching certification. She has experience working' in
the offices of Financial Aid and Student Accounts. She is also familiar
with the schoo l' s computer system
and is "very good with students ,"
Chandler sa id.
Parker will process all of the
financial paperwork such as routine
correspondence and housing applications. Hathaway will now
supervise all Housing activities.
Chandler will also take on some
of Hathaway's former responsibilites. Chandler, a 1972 graduate
of Western Washington University,
came to Evergreen in January of
1973. She has worked in Admissions, financial Aid, and as a administrative assistant to the vice
president for business. She was hired
by Housing in 1984 to replace Bob
Carlson during his one year sabbat ical. In addition to her regular
duties of supervising the back office,
Corner staff, and working closely
with student managers, she will absorb all tasks not designated to
Hathaway or Parker.
The aim of the co-managership is
to pool resources during this abnormally busy year for Housing. They
also hope to rewrite some of the
Housing policies for better
understanding, said Chandler.

----Keep guns off c'EImpus-.- - by Janine M Thome
There are vital aspects to the
securi"ty reclassification story that require close examination; these
aspeCts also need to be separate
from my main, objective article.
Firstly, realizing the significance
this possible change would have on
the college, (resent the fact that the
students and faculty have been largely kept in the dark about the issue;
information on the subject has been
primarily confined to inter-office
memos for over a year. It would appear that Security had no intention ·
of informing the Evergreen community of the reclassification request
until it became' successful.
Secondly, since I began this story,
I have encountered unusual difficulties in obtaining interviews with
the appropriate people, and once
given interviews, have had to contend with a great deal of con flicting
information, resulting in the threeweek delay of the story.
I find that with the information I
have gathered so far, which I believe
to be true, I cannot support the
classification.
It would seem that the Security
reclassification to a Police Department would ultimately result in the
stilling of Evergreen's liberal atmosphere; poientially increase the
degree o( Security-student harassment on campus; and diminish
Security-student communication and
cooperation.
The reclassification would give officers the authority to intervene in
situations previously tolerated in
relation to Evergreen's liberal environment. As police officers, they
would be obligated and required to
uphold all levels of state law as op-

posed to providing adequate security and personal protection for the
campus community.
Also, the police officers, again required to uphold state laws, could
inquire · into student affairs that
may not have any direct relation to
the safety and security of the
Evergreen campus.
Another aspect of the reclassification is the possibility of the issuance
of handguns to campus officers .
This, despite the supposed additional
screening and training, is unacceptable; Ken Jacob states that the
police officers (if the reclassification
is successful) would have a "higher
level of training and professional
education. "
I have some questions to ask in
light of that:
What type of psychological
screening insures complete mental
stabiity to be able to carry a
handgun?
How thorough is a background
investigation on a prospective
officer?
How often are psychological
tests given?
What about regular updates on
these tests?
Is Security willing, and financially prepared, to do a thorough screening on each individual officer?
Sh9uld Security receive han d
guns, under what circumstances
would they be drawn?
Would/could officers be trained
in martial arts, which could be used
in a conflict, instead of drawing a
handgun?
If handguns are to be issued, is
a Security staff psychologist going to
be hired to help officers deal with the
added stress and potential inflated

ego trips? If not, then who is
qualified to keep officers in close,
constant check?
Finally, has Evergreen really proved itself to be so dangerous as to '
warrant the issuance of handguns?
I acknowledge the fact that in the
past Security members have had to
deal with gunlknife wielding
suspects, but were those instance truly situations in which a handgun
would
have
helped
the
confrontations?
Larry Savage, Head of Security,
called the firearms issue "far down
the road for Evergreen." That is not
really true. The Evergreen community is safe now (because Security is
presently unarmed and is against
themselves having handguns as long

- - - - - Graduation f/unks----by Mike Mc Kenzie
If back issues of Evergreen's student newspapers are an accurate
source of information, t hen
Evergreen's graduat ion ceremony is
changing and these changes are not
for the better.
In the early to mid 1970's,
Evergreen graduations were
ceremonies with the specific purpose
of ushering another crop of
Evergreen graduates into the real
world. People who knew Evergreen-students, faculty, staff, and
the college president-gave speeches
directly concerning Evergreen. After
their speeches, the graduates' names
were read, then everybody dug into
a gigantic potluck.
It wasn't until the late 1970's that
the idea of having a guest spea~er
became part of the ceremony, and
this new idea worked pretty well.
The guest speaker was usually some
one (rom the northwest
and had
something interesting to say to
Evergreen graduates.
Also, when the Graduation Planning Committee sent questionaires
to potential graduates in the 1970' s,
usually one-third to omi-half of the
graduates responded. It wasn't an
overwhelming response, but it did
give the committee a fair idea of
what graduatc;s wanted in the
ceremony.
Graduation troubles didn't start
until 1983.
In April of 1983, approximately
six weeks before graduation, two
students marched into a Graduation
Planning meeting and said they
represented "about 50 students who
were not pleased with what had been
chosen as (speech) topics. "
The committee had been planning
since January of 1983 . The speakers
had already been chosen. The committee was talking about things like
what food to serve at the Graduation Reception. So the committee
asked these two students why they'd
waited so long to show concern.
"There are various reasons," one

of the student s replied. "So mt' of
the student s had not been aware that
the meetings were taking place."
The planning meetings hadn't
been some big secret. But these two
student s thought th ey could walk in
a t any' time and sta rt making changes
in graduation. Which, in my opinion, is asinine.
..
Yet an even more serious break in
student communication and graduation involvement occurred last year.
During fall term of 1984, the
Graduation Planning Commi ttee
sen t out over 600 questionaires to
potential graduates. These questionaires were the only way stude nts
could vote on who .they wanted to
be the graduation guest speaker. Only 100 of the questionaires were
returned to the committee, and the
results were surprising.
The potential graduates had
voted, from a list of eighteen names,
mostly for three guest speaker candidates who didn't know doodly
about Evergreen: Alan Aida, George
Burns, and Katherine Hepburn.
We're talking about a lot of money
for anyone of these three.
As it ended up last year, the President's Office had to step in and pick
a guest speaker. Their choice was
some psychiatrist or psychologist or
something from somewhere who got
the name of our school wrong in his
speech. Does anybody remember
that guy's name?
So, after the mess up last year, this
year's graduates don't even get to
vote on guest speaker. The Presiden't's OffiC'e will pick someone,
though, of course, you can always
suggest a possible guest speaker to
the planning committee.
We all know how busy fourth year
students are. They might think they
don't have time to get involved in
graduation planning. But unless they
do, they might find the la .~t detail in
their Evergreen experience refecting
none of the attributes that make
Evergreen special.
If we don't watch out, Evergreen

Editor, The Cooper Point Journal:
To whomever it may concern,
In my spring-chicken days at college I habitually favored sports to
study. Now that I'm at Evergreen
and am serious about education,
I -believe it or not- declined Superbowl Sunday restivities for research
in the library .
While gathering source material ,
I happened to pass the second floor
copy machine and noticed an out-oforder sign. Not to worry; there' s
another copier upstairs. Fifteen
mi nut es before closing time, armed
with my stack of sources, I ascended the stairs only to be greeted by
another out-of-order sign. (The
library copiers were also out of order
the last time I was on campus, three
days earlier.) No panic; there's the
copier in the CAB.
The CAB was open at 6:30 p.m.
Sunday; I would have been permitted, under the circumstnces, to borrow reference material ror copving;
hut, the copier in the CAB was out

-----Pledge for {Jeace----by Chris Darrow
Thirty thousand civilians have
been murdered in EI Salvador in the
last fi ve years. Not a si ngle person
ha~ been brought to trial for these
deaths.Salvadoran civilians are being bombed by their government, in
violation of the Geneva Conventions. The country's main university was invaded and closed by the army. As a result 70 percent of its
students joined the rebel forces.
Our government supports these
atrocities.
The Nicaraguans, having ousted
the dictator Samoza, have held the
first free elections in their history.
They now enjoy better nutrition,
health and literacy than ever; yet our
government calls them a ". . .
Totalitarian regime . .. . ," and
finances the Contras who seek their
overthrow.
Honduras, bordering both EI
Salvador and Nicaragua, ha s
become a major U.S. military base.
The stage is set for a U.S. invasion
of Central A1nerica.
The official U.S. analaysis, that
unrest in Central American is an export of the 'Soviet Union, ignores the
historical causes of the situation.
Since long before the Russian
Revolution, the Central American
people have suffered invasions and
exploitation by the U.S . It is a
tragedy that the U.S. opposes their
struggle for freedom.
This situation calls for an im-

. mediate and forceful response. Such
a response is emerging throughout
the U.S. in the form of·a Pledge oj
Resistance.
The Pledge of Resistance began
after the U.S. invasion of Grenada.
U.S. activists became aware that
friends in Nicaragua feared a similar
invasion. Witness for Peace formed
" . .. a grassroots effort to keep a
continuous non-violent presence in
Nicaragua .. . " ·a nd pledged to respond to any U.S. aggression. "A
Promise of Resistance" went to
churches, the United States Congress, the Department of State and
Defense, the CIA, and the PresidenL
From this initial effort grew a broad
national coalition united in opposition to U.S. military aggression in
Central America . Olympia, in the
wake of the successful Proposition
One, has joined the effort with the
Olympia Pledge oj Resistance.
:rhe purpose of the Pledge oj
Resistance is to prevent a U.S. invasion or military escalat ion in Central
America. Signers of the pledge promi se to respond to any escalatioil
with actions ranging from legal protests to occupations of government
offices and military bases. By announcing this plan to government
representatives, the Pledge hopes to
prevent any escalation. If despite
these efforts an escalation does occur, the Pledge will be activated,
demanding a peaceful settlement to
the conflict.

N. Strat ton

At noon on Thursday, February
7th, in CAB 108, Students for a
Humane Foreign Policy is initiating
the Pledge of Resistance campaign
at TESC. In addition t~ a discussion
of the Pledge, there will be a report
on the Nicaraguan elections, and information on the call for a congressional investigation of U.S.<tbacked
bombing in EI Salvador.
The special purpose of the Pledge
oj Resistance campaign at Evergreen
is to mobilize support for a Public
Signing Rally to be held at noon on
Friday, February 22nd, on the
Capitol steps. Pledges will be
availab le at tables in the CAB lobby on Tuesdays and Thursdays for
the next three weeks.
As a co ll ege, Evergreen can be of
key importance in organizing opposition to an unaccountable administration. Ip Central America. as
in the civil rights and Vietnam War
protest movements, U.S. schools face
an important socia l responsibility.
The Central American peopies
know from bitter experi'Cnce that a
government's policy may not reneet
its people's sense or justice. Th ev
look to us for help with their struggle. As U.S. citizens, we hold th e
power to change our government's
policy. Through the Pledge of
Resistance we can exercise that
power. Olympia and Thurston
County can be heard as a voice of
conscience to the U.S. and Central

Moniz

"Marvelous!/"

by Rob Dieterich
A show of watercolors by Haruko
Moniz and Mariko Marrs opened in
Gallery Two last weekend in conjunction with the Tribute to Japan .
Haruko was born and schooled in
Japan and graduated from Tokyo
Girl's Art College in 1945. But for
over thirty years she has lived in the
United States, in Hawaii, California,
and now Washington - she lives in
Lacey.
Haruko describes he r art well:
"As religiou s, traditional and soc ial
values seem to have eroded to a
point where life often seems to have
lost it s meaning, painting na ture's
perfection s ca lm s my spirit."
Her wat e rcolors have s ubtle,
translucent layers - most especially her Essence q( Wimer series. Pain tin gs in this series are veiled by large
white trees that nearly cover the picture plane. But while the trees are
full and so lid (certainly evoking a
feeling of the perfection she refers
to) , they don't obscure the colorful
field behind.
Haruko has exhibited often in the
Northwest in the last fifteen years.
Among other shows and awards, her

watercolors have been included in
juried exhibits at the Frye Art
Museum (in Seattle), and the
Bellevue Art Museum.
Mariko Marrs also was born and
went to high school in Japan, and
she now lives in the Ulympla area.
But, unlike Haruko, Mariko went to
college at Evergreen. She received
her bachelor' s degree in visual arts
here in 1983.
The two women' ~ works complement each other well. Aside from the
amazingly similar colors - yellow ,
orange and blue, and Mariko 's
silver, and Haru ko's white, are nearly the only colors - a complete and
settled quality is shared.
Unlike Haruko's naturali stic
forms, Mariko's are abstract, strictly
geometric forms. Mariko also
skillfully layers her paints, but her
works are most interesting for the
way they create and disrupt perspective .
Gallery Two is in the entrance
area of Evergreen's library and is

Energetic drumming opened the
third annual Tribute to Japan last
Sunday in the Evergreen library. The
Tribute offered a diverse program of
speakers, music, displays, films,
dance , martial arts, and food to the
several hundred people that attended_ It was a festive day that
celebrated increased understanding
between Japanese and American
people.
In his first public appearance as
President of the college, Joseph
Olander offered Lunar New Year
wishes to the crowd in Japanese and
English. After announcing his marriage on Saturday in El Pa's o to
Patricia Dominguez, he introduced
various local dignitaries who were
present. Following the welcome by
Japanese Consul General Toshio
Osagai, the Namukai Taiko drummers returned to the stage for more
of their exciting rhythms.
The Tokiwakai dancers followed,
performing traditional Japanese .
dances. A jolly dance which con veyed "living with just laughter"
was the most colorful of these ~ The
Olympic Tae Kwon Do school appeared next. Students from the
school, ranging from small children
to very experienced black bells,
demonstrated moves and sparring in
the Japanese martial art.
While the performance went on,
there were continuous exhibitions of
Japanese arts and crafts, traditional
flower arrangements , a display by
the Olympia-Yashiro Sister City
Committee, and a slide show of
travels in Japan _ Both dramatic and
educational films were shown. People had the opportunity (0 participate in a tea ceremony. On the
fourth floor, the food was so
popular that most items were sold
out by mid-afternoon. Noodle soup
and sushi were still available to
stragglers
Other performances included the
Mamasan Chorus, Classical Dance
by Mary Ohno, a Kimon fashion
show, and a demonstration of sword
forms by the Washington State Kendo Federation. The performers
were introduced by Evergreen student Tsukasa S~Kizaki, a senior.

The Fabulous Tropicana, Olympia rock club, art gallery and
underground cultural mecca, will
become storage space after tonight's
closing celebration featuring the
Young Pioneers, Communicator,
and several other local bands.
The Tropicana began eleven
months ago, when members of the
Young Pioneers, Beat Happening,
and other community members such
as eventual co-owner·Larry Roberts
decided that Olympia needed an
original music club, a "place for kids
(0 go, for Olympia kids to have
some thing (0 do," according to
Young Pioneer Chris Pugh. Before
the club could open, however, the
building had to be brought up to fire
code. Volunteers added the needed
improvements, and the club was
ready to open. The first show
featured the Young Pioneers, the
Wimps, Beat Happening , and hiphop D.J. Whiz Kid.
It wasn't long before the club
caused controversy among members
of the Olympia business and residential communities. Merchants complained that Tropicana patrons vandalized property and took up parking spaces; residents complained that
the club was too loud . A nearby
funeral home, says Pugh, complained that "punks would knock on the
back door and ask to see a corpse ."
A petition was circulated among
downtown merchants last summer,
demanding that the club's license be
revoked. In response, the Olympia
City Council put the Tropicana on
90 day probation .
Not all of the opposition to the
Tropicana was verbal. The club' s

An hour of film and video was
presented by Doug Bertran and Kim
Foley Monday eveningin the Recital
Hall. Senior Bertran presented his 16
mm, 25-minute film called The Harbor Seal first. The film quickly
covered the life of the seal: where
and how it lives, eats, and breeds.
There was some beautiful
photography. A shot of seal, sun,
and water was black, grey, and
white, the contrast was so great.
During one close-up of a seal, a
Geoduck squirted in the foreground.
Near the end of the film, Bertran
showed twO seals nosing each other
at length with theiF whiskers. Several
people talked about the Harbor Seal.
A Biologist marked seals in order to
wateh and learn about them. A
Fisherman expressed his trouble with
seals. One man discussed the toxins
in the seals' blubber. Bertran
brought in the problems that most
wild animals have in our increasingly
crowded world--adapting to a changing habitat. The film related that the

Organic Organizer
by Tarja Bennett
Susan Moser became the first
operations manager in the history of
the Organic Farm last October. The
new position was jointly funded by
S & A, Academics, and Facilities.
According to the proposal submitted by Walter Niemic in August,
"The Farm Manager will work 19
hours/wee k for the academic year
(October I, 1984- June 30, 1985) .
The Manager will have the responsib ility to coordinate all activites at
the farm sit e in addition to caretaking the facility . Hiring and training
student workers and developing projects and work sc hedules for
them .... "
Moser has been cleaning and
organizing Ihe grounds. She sa id,
"Now we're at ground zero. We can
start implementing our new plans
and ideas. This is really sla rtin g 10
blossom and look much betler."
Moser li ves on Ihe second floor of
Ihe farmhouse with her hu sba nd ,
Michael Dempster, and her niece,
As hiey Moser. She has li ved there
since the 1983-84 academic year
\vhen she held her stud ent position
of resident caretaker, responsible for
custodial and securily dUlies of Ihe
farmhouse.
Niemic said that so far Moser
"has transformed Ih e altilude
towards the Organic Farm. She is a
wonderful role model, she has ideas
and energy which she shares with the
students. ,.

Moser has added continuity to the
farm . The farm has looked good at
certain points in its history, but it
lacked continuity. In the past at the
farm, winter was time for planning and spring was for planting
major plans were planned for the
summer. The changes in planning
and planting are in progress.
Moser is working to im plemenl
many ideas of her own and those of
others. She is trying (0 extend the
g'rowing seaso n by making the large
permanent greenhouse more effective. She is also adding perrenial
plantings, such as raspberries ,
blueberries, strawberries, ana appies. This would increase Ihe farm's
marketable crop.
Moser sa id she "believes in th e
farm politically" and puts a 101 of
time and energy into her job. She
does nOI have to be here. She is
qualified 10 leach; she has a master's
degree in education from the Universil Y of Washington. She says, "I 'm
mo re int erested in Ihis place Ithe
farm] for itself Ihan I am for me. "
Many people would like to see
Moser's job become a full-lime
managerial position . That will depend upon the funding availab le.
She does not know whelher she
wi!1 ever be a full-time manager at
the farm. " II may not happen while
I'm here but it definitely needs to
happen . This farm needs to become
more serious. "

Greener displays nerves of Steel
by Mike Me Kenzie
At aboul 9:30 p.m. on November
28, 1984, Evergreen student Chris
Steel was on his way home, driving
on Fifth Avenue by Capitol Lake
toward the westside. Then Steel
looked into his rearview mirror and
saw the van.
"The van was coming up fast,"
Sleel said. "I think il wou l(i have hil
me if it hadn't hit Ihe pole. It look
OUI a telephone pole and a street
light. "
Steel went around the block and
returned 10 the accident. "The van
was upside clown about fifteen yards
into the Kentucky Fr ied Chicken
parking lot."
The 'passe nger in I he van was
walking up and down the street be
tween the Kentucky Fried C hicken
restaurant and the Thurston Co unIY Heallh Clinic "obviously dazed."
The driver was st ill inside the van
with his legs up to his knees sticking
out of the broken-out windshield.
"The van was in a puddle of gas,"
Steel said. "Gas was drippping out
of the engine compartment onto the
driver. The electric lines were ar- ching and sparking ten yards from
the van. I thought it would catch on
fire."
By this time people were gathered
around the wreck. They were all saying "stay away from the van." But
Steel could tell the driver 's back
wasn't broken and the driver wanted
10 get out of the van because "he
was moving. Once he got up on his
hands and knees, then fell back
down."
Steel decided to get the driver out
of the van, but couldn't pull the
driver Olll as "he was a pretty big
" guy. I yelled back at another guy to
help me ."
The other man, Timothy W.
v,.:ard of Tumwater, helped Steel
carry the driver by hi s belt loops and
shoulders. They carried the driver a
safe distance away from the van aritl

"Th is is a real honor for our

"The women are incredibly psyched. I've never seen them so up for
a game. The team is in good shape.
Many of the women have been playing in winter recreation leagues, but
that does not mean they won't be
practicing hard for the game. Late
in the fall season the Geoducks
played a very good game against the
Lutes, losing by just one goal. We've
proved we can play with them," says
Chotzen. "We'll be looking for the
upset in the Dome."

Organic Organizer

by Tarja Bennett '
Susan Moser became the first
operations manager in the history of
the Orgllnic Farm last October. The
new position was jointly funded by
S & A, Academics, and Facilities.
Accord ing to the proposal submitted by Walter Niemic in August,
"The Farm Manager will work 19
hours/week for the academic year
(October I, 1984- June 30, 1985).
The Manager will have the responsibility to coordinate all activ ites at
the farm site in addition to caretaking the facility. Hiring and training
student workers and developing projects ar;ld work schedules for
them .... "
Mose r has been cleaning and
organizin g the grounds. She sa id,
"Now we ' re a t ground zero. We can
stan im plementing our new plans
and ideas. This is really starring to
blossom and look much beller."
Moser lives on the second floor of
the farmhouse with her husband.
Michael Dempster, and her niece, '
Ash iey Moser. She has lived there
~ ince the 1983-84 academic year
when she held her student position
of resident caretaker, responsible for
custodial and security duties of the
farmhouse.
Niemic said that so far Moser
"has transformed the altitude
towards the Organic Farm. She is a
wonderful role model, she has ideas
and energy which she shares with the

Moser has added continuity to the
farm. The farm has looked good at
certain points in its history, but it
la cked continuity: In the past at the
farm, winter was time for planning and spring was for planting
major plans were planned for the
su mmer . The changes in planning
and planting are in progress.
Moser is working to impl ement
many ideas of her own and those of
o th ers. She is trying to exte nd the
growing season by making the large
permanent greenhouse more effective. She is also adding perrenial
plantings, such as raspberries ,
bltleberries, st rawberries, anC! apples. This would increase the farm's
marketable crop.
Moser sa id she "believes in the
farm politically" and puts\a lot of
time and energy into her job. She
does not have to be here. She is
qualified to teach; she has amaster's
degree in education from the University of Washington. She says, "I'm
more interested in this place [the
farmJ for itself than I am for me."
Many people would lik e to see
Moser's job become a full-time
managerial positi on. That will depend upon the funding avai lab le.
She does not know whether she
will ever be a full-time manager at
the farm. "It may not happen while
I'm here but 'it definitely needs to
happen. This farm need s to become
more serious. "

Greener displays nerves of Steel
by Mike Mc Kenzie
At about 9:30 p.m. on November
28, 1984, Evergreen student Chris
Steel was on hi s way home, driving
on Fifth Avenue by Capitol Lake
toward the westside. Then Steel
looked into his rearview mirror and
saw the van .
"The van was coming up fast,"
Steel said . "I think it would have hit
me if it hadn't hit the pole. It took
OU t a telephone pole and a st reet
lighl. ..
Steel went around the block and
returned to the accident. "The van
was upside down about fifteen yards
into the Kentucky Fried Ch icken
parking 101."
The 'passenger in the van was
walk ing up and down the street be
tween the Kentucky Fried Ch icken
restauran t and the Thurston Cou nty Health Clinic "obviously dazed."
The driver was sti ll inside the van
with his legs up to his knees stick ing
out of the broken-out windshield.
"The van was in a puddle of gas,"
Steel said. "Gas was drippping out
of the engine compartment onto the
driver. The electric lines were arching and sparking ten yards from
the van. I thoughi it would catc h on
fire ."
By this time people were gat hered
around the wreck. They were all saying " stay away from the van." But
Steel could tell the driver's back
wasn't broken and the driver wanted
to get out of the van because "he
was moving. Once he got up on his
hands and knees, then fell back
down. "
Steel decided to get the driver out
of the van, but couldn't pull the
driver au! as "he was a prelly big
guy. I yelled back at another guy to
help me." ,
. The other man, Timothy W.
Ward of Tumwater, helped Steel
carry the driver by his belt loops and
shoulders. They carried the driver a
safe distance away from the van and

Sunny day in the desert
A town lies baking hot
Some people, not a lot
Palpitating gently moving
Lily sits staring blankly
Later tonight she's going out
Alley slipping
Sad Romancing
Window looking
The secret life of cats
In the darkned streets
Close and soft retreats
Friendly shadows stagger
She conducts nightly rounds
Who knows what they see
A little shaky
In the morning
Cranky bitch
Little warning
Leave me be
The cat is back
Jesus Christ the cat is back

gave each Steel and Ward a color
photograph of the wrecked van.
"My shoes smelled like gas for a
couple of days after (the wreck),"
Steel said. "But if I had it to do
again I would."
Both of the men in the van were
taken to the hospital. The passenger
was treated for minor injuries and
released, the driver was treated for
a cut on his head and a fract ured
thigh and was released from the
hospital a few days later.

Olympia Chief of Police John
Wurner wrote a letter on December
II, 1984, to Olympia City Manager
Robert W. Murray commending
Steel and Ward. "These individuals
represented the concern and public
spirit that enhances the quality of life
in the Puget Sound area and their
unselfish deeds should be duly
recognized as an outstanding act of
public service," Wurner said in the
letter.
On December 18, 1985, Wurner
gave Steel and Ward Olympia Police
awards for putting their "own life(s)
