Washington will celebrate its
lOOth birthday in 1989 and the
Washington St~te Centenni~1 Commission has some big plans.
Between 1983 and 1985, the Commission, presently headed by
Secretary of State Ralph Munro,
spent approxi rna tely $200,000 planning a program for celebration .
During the 1985-87 biennium, the
Commission plans to spend approxima tely $2,200,000. But now they'll
be starting some activities.
Topping the list is the Pacific
Celebration, which will take place in
1989. The goals of the celebration
are to increase Washington's
economy and trade by improving
tourist attractions, and to improve
cultural and historical knowledge of
Washington and Pacific Rim countries .
The committee plans to install a
telecommunications hook-up so
students will be able to converse with
students of Pacific Rim countries.
The Commission also proposes to
build a permanent telecommunications center, so conversation would
be on-going.
The Pacific Celebration will be
state-wide. with many communities
having athletic events, performances,
lectures,
cultural
demonstrations. and museums
available . People from all over the
state and from Pacific Rim countries
are heartily encouraged to
partic ipate.
The Centennial games are another
part of the Celebration. This will be
an "Olympic-type" competition including events for special Olympians. over 40 folk . and Native
Americans. Athletes from all over
the state and Pacific Rim countries
are invited to compete. It is to be the
first of a continuing series.
Local celebrations are an important part of the Centennial. Counties will develop their own plans of
ways \0 celebrate. beller their community, unite thc people, and attract
visitors . Because the Capitol is
within its confines. Thurston County
Centenial Commission proposes that
the Rresidcnt give a major address
for the occasion, among other
things.
The Centennial Bookshelf is an
organization of the Centennial that
plans to compile a list of historical
publications about the state . In addition, they want to increase the
amount of books that describe and
interpret Washington, its history.
and its qualities. They seek new
works, and may assist with matching
funds in order to encourage this. The
committee encourages Native
Americans and all others to write
about their past. They desire a variety of publications, from simpler picture books to detailed scholarly
works .
These are the projects in the
Operating Budget for the biennium
1985-87. There is also the $152
million "Centennial Capital Projects
.
-
Act of 1985". Topping its list is the
Community Centennial Centers project. The state will match funding
for museums, libraries, theatres,
parks, civic and sports facilities.
trade centers, and interpretive sites.
Local communities will develop
these plans.
Archeological sites will open up as
an opportunity to learn about
Washington's past. Excavations, exhibits, lectures, prehistoric sites,
shipwrecks. farmsteads, and early
forts will be available for historic
vlewll1g.
Historic museums and historic
sites will be built or improved.
Building and areas of land will be
preserved for this use . The state will
match funds of varying percentages
for these projects. These are very ,
popular tourist attractions and ·an
excellent way to educate people
about Washington's history.
The Centennial Partnership Corporation Projects are a $52 million
dollar proposal. The projects are a
partnership of public enterprises
combined to make the state more interesting and improve its economy .
The projects include Northwest
Seaport, a museum and area to learn
about seaport activities . The
Museum of Flight will be at the Boeing Field, and it will tell about the
history of this important economic
strength in Washington. Talltimber
country in Dupont will have a
restored logging camp and museum
in a natural setting, where much will
be able to be learned about industrial
techniques past and future. The International Ag-Trade Center will be
in Spokane, where there will be fairs,
exhibits. and conventions on
agricultural themes. The Fort Walla
Walla Agricultural and Trade Center
already exists, and will be expanded
with new building s housing
agricultural and industrial history .
There will be hands-on displays with
horses and other anima ls and
demonstrations of early crafts such
as blacksmithing, weaving, and
cider-making.
Other aspects of the Centennial
include bettering the sc hool' s
Washington State history and Native
American cirriculum; restocking
salmon runs as a part of maintain-
ing North American heritage; and
beautification projects.
Through these activities, the people will gain pride in their state.
Tourism, foreign trade, community
projects, business opportunities and
new jobs will increase. It is a chance
for every citizen to become involved with the state and shape
Washington's future.

An anti-harassment bill sparked
by the murder of Evergreen student
Elisa Tissot passed the Senate Tuesday Feb. 5.
The bill would prevent a person
from making repeated, unsolicited
contacts with another person.
Under the proposed law a harasser
could be convicted for" knowingly.
maliciously and substantially im pact[ing)
someone's mental
health,"said the bill's sponsor, Sen .
Phil Talmadge. D-Seattle.
Michael Pimentel harassed Elisa
Tissot for a month before he shot
and killed her in The Evergreen State
College cafeteria last ycar. I f the
harassment bill had been law in 1984
Pimentel could have been arrested
before he shot Tissot and a judge
could have ordered Pimentel not to
contact Tissot again.
April 9, 1984, Tissot asked Campus Security to stop Pimentel from
following her to work, following her
home, phoning her and confronting
her on campus. They referred her to
the Olympia Police Department.
April 12. 1984, the Olympia police
referred Tissot to 'a civil court for a
restraining order. Pimentel had mentioned shooting Tissot to a friend.
April 17. 1984, Pimentel shot and
killed Tissot.
In addition to an order forbidding
the harasser from contacting the victim. a first conviction would be
punishable by one year in jail and a
fine up to $5,000. A second offense
involving the same victim would
carry a five-year sentence and up to
a $10.000 fine .
The bill did contain a section that
would, if a judge saw fit. force the
harasser to turn over any weapons
before being released. The Sena te
amended t he bill to take out the
section'.
Gun owner advocate Sen. Kent
Pullen was the first to object to the
t he sect ion.
Pullen. R-Kent, fell shy of gathering enough votes for the amend -ment. It failed 22-23 .
The bill was put off till th e nex t
da y.
After so mc over ni ght rescarch.
Sc n. Stuart Halsan , D-Centrailia.
found that a similar but more strict
court rule already exists .
Sen. Ted Bottiger. D-Graham .
pushed through an amendment 10
take out the gun section to allow the
tougher co urt rule to apply . The
amendment passed.
Afterwards, BOlliger recounted
his message to Pullen as. ·"Okay.
Mr. Pullen, This bill is weaker than
the court rules. So I'm going to take
it out, and you're going to get. a
tougher gun bill than if you had just
kept your mouth shut. ".
"If some guy has been' shooting
up the side of his ex-wife's house.
and he's going to get out on bail,
theri you probably ought to take hi s
guns away from him," Bottiger sa id .
"Now if that's being a communist,
then so be it."
Pullen also contended that the bill
would make a criminal of a parent
who yells at a child. Talmadge
doubted a jury would convit:t
anyone for such an act.
He said, "That is the reality factor that always intrudes when you're
thinking about the law . People do
have common sense most of the
lime. "
Some people fear the bill will be
used to limit 1st Amendment rights.
Halson said, "I've had some concerns about the 1st Amendment implications of the bill."
However, Halsan added 'that a
person would not be arrested for
saying things. but may be arrested
for the words effect on another
person.
He said. "If you have idle threat s.
I don't see that as something that
needs criminal sanctions. But if the
threat is intended to create the effect
of fear in a person. I think that is
an area with which the legislature
can take some action."
Talmadge sa id the bill use s
language from an exist in g extortion
statute to make sure it is constitutionally sound.
Talmadge said. "We wanted a
model that we knew would with s·
tand constitutional scrutiny, because
a number of cities across the state
had anti- harassment ordinances in
place particu larly telephon e
harass ment - a nd they were struck
down on constitutional grounds
because they were overly broad. "
Olympia recently established an
ordinance almost identical to the
proposed state harassment act. A

Center takes

community
service
by Nancy Bo ult o n
The Evergreen Cent er for Communit y Develo pment brings student
reso urces and communit y needs
together to provide solutions to the
co mmunit y a nd real world expe ri ence to student s.
Center Director Russ Fox explains
that " We are o ffering opportunities
for student s to take what they know
quite well which is research
methodologies, interpersonal group
dynamics skills, problem solving
e ndeavors and interdisciplinary
perspectives - into the community
and to work collaboratively with the
community people."
T he Cente r's most fam ous pro·
jec t, according to Fox, is the North
Bo nneville relocation planning.
"Evergreen students, with faculty help, essentially were the planning staff for the town as it was .
faced with ha ving to move because
of t he construction of the second:
ph ase of the powerhouse at Bon-'
neville on the Columbia River," he
said .
The students needed all their skills
of interdisciplinary and collaborative
problem solving to deal with the
"complex nature of relocating the
town, which involved natural history
information, economic information,
political information, administrative
and legal knowledge," Fox said.

Jean
MacGregor , who volunteers her time
a t th e C enter, believes that
Eve rgreen in an ideal place to
enhance the process of experiential
learning and research promoted by
the Center.
"Most colleges across the nation
celebrate competition and the individual," MacGregor said ."but I'd
like to think that Evergreen
celebrates the values of cooperation
and interactive communication. So
to me the value and the crystal of the
Center is the idea of experiential
cooperative learning - and that's
wha t co mmunity development is.
The Center, which opened in
1983 , provides information and
assistance in all as pects o f parti cipatory research and planning.
The focus is on student project work
(as o pposed to individual internship

THE COOPER POINT JOURN AL
Unsoeld maintains grueling schedule in new job
by Charlie Campbell
Jolene Unsoeld, Olympia's newest
representative, is one of Evergreen's
oldest friends.
She is new to the House floor but
no stranger to state government: she
has defended citizen's interests in
government for over a decade .
From sunrise to long after sunset
Rep . Jolene Unsoeld surrounds
herself in a swirl of information:
slide presentations , tours, briefings, '
public hearings, and conferences.
She receives it all calmly and attentively, only occasionally asking a
question in her quiet voice.
She said, "I've learned a lot. I've
got a lot to learn."
All of the information compiled,
however, would make tedious
reading for those who do not make
day to day decisions of the
magnitude that Unsoeld does .
For example, Unsoeld learned in
her 8 a.m. House Higher Education
Committee meeting, from section
IV, subsection E, item 8, that
"Other duties which shall be the
responsibility of the Higher Education Coordinating Commission include: [to] develop and implement
transfer policies. "
Unsoeld did not yawn discreetly
upon hearing this. She did not get
up and pour herself a glass of water.
She leaned forward with all appearances of listening intently - just
as she had done on the previous
item, and all of the previous items
in all the previous subsections and
sections.
She is interested in this informat ion because she is interested in helping people.
When asked what she thought of
herself she said, "I don't think about
myself. I think about issues ."
After the meeting , she spoke with
Rep. Jennifer Belcher during the 10
minute break before the 10 a.m .
House Environmental Affairs Committee meeting. Belcher shares the
22nd District with Unsoeld .
In the meeting Unsoeld watched
a slide presentation on the West
Hylebos wetlands near Federal Way.
Afterwards, citizens testifying urged the passage of a bill, cosponsored by Unsoeld, to acquire
t he 100 acre wet land as a conservation area .
The wetland contains various
plants and animals and natural oddities such as a bubbling earlh hole
and pools of water only a few feet
Rep. Jolene Unsoeld confers with fellow Energy and Utilities Committee member Rep. Mike Todd. Unsoeld was Evergreen's 1981
graduation speaker. She was the first woman to scale the direct North
Face of the Grand Teton. She played a major role in the passage of
the Public D~c/osure Act.
across but up to 36 feel deep.
Unsoeld said not a word, simply
listening to the proceedings. but she
wore a "Walk the Wetlands" button on her lapel.
The discussion of the Hylebos
over-ran the time alotted to consider
another bill sponsored by Unsoeld
which would provide above ground
storage tanks for used oil.
At II a.m. the meeting adjourned. After a quick dash up four floors
to her office - Unsoeld eschews
elevators - she left for lunch.
Legislators' lunches are two hours
long and differ little from their
working hours except t he legislators
eat while they listen to another
legislator's problems or a lobbyist's
pitch .
A fine meal in a secluded booth
creates the perfect atmosphere for a
lobbyist to reveal an interest group's
most vi tal legislative need. A dozen
restaurants flourish near Capitol
campus by providing just such an
atmosphere.
Legislators are not always at liberty to say with whom they eat lunch .
However, Unsoeld was not seen in
any of Ihe finer restaurants along
Capitol Way . She ate in the
Capitol's cafeteria. Its atmosphere
and entree compare easily with an
elementary school lunchroom .
Before a li1te start ing House
Energy and Utilities Committee
meeting, Unsoeld answered a rew
questions.
She came ·to Olympia from
Massachusetts in 1970. Her husband, Willi Unsoeld, educator and
mountain climber, became a founding faculty member of Evergreen in
1971. He died in an avalanche on
Mount Rainier in 1979.
Almost immediately after arriving
in O lympia, Jolene Unsoeld involved herself in a citizen developed ordinance for Cooper Point. The action eventually brought a~out an
amendment to state law and act ion
in the Washington Stale Supreme
Court.
She quickly became known as a
citizen watchdog on utility rates.
One of her greatest accomplishments is her work on the
Public Disclosure Act - it , perhaps,
even overshadows her being Ihe first
woman to ascend the direct North
Face of the Grand Telon .
In 1972 she was instrumental in
the adoption of the disclosure act
and used the imformation that
became available as a result of the
acl to author two books tilled: Who
Gave? Who GOI? How Mu('h?
The books monitored girts to the
44th and 45th Legislatures by the fifty largest vested interest groups.
Unsoeld explained her initial interest in Ihe disclosure act.
"I was interested in the passage of
t he first bottle bill," Unsoeid said.
"All Ihe polls said il was going to
pass, but at the last minute a lot of
money came in and it was defeated .
That 'was really tlie impetus of the
Disclosure Act. A lot of us thought
that if the public knew where the
money came from and how much,
prior 10 the election, it might have
passed ...
The two books made her a
respected figure in Washington State
politics.
Unsoeld said, "At first I had trou-
ble getting the news media to publish
the information. Theytlidn't know
if it was reliablr. Then, when I
published the second one, it
established my reputation and gave
me the opportunity to lobby."
Her lobbying' efforts have been
directed largely toward ma king
public process public, and keeping
private life private. Her successes are
impressive . A cross-section includes
retention of protection of privacy
legislation, defense of access provi sionsofthe Public Records Act, and
reversal of a regulatory agency pra ctice allowing utilities to charge
customers for lobbying and entertainment expenses.
She said of her years as a lobbyist,
"I think I was effective."
The Puget Sound cleanup issue
weighs heavily upon the 49th
Legi slature, and this same weight
tipped the scale for Unsoeld to run
for office. SI'e wants to s.e e it cleaned up and decided she would have
a greater impact as a representative.
She was a tireless lobbyist and has
nOI slowed down since becoming a
legislator. She is the primary sponsor of three bills including a bill that
would provide disposal sites for
dangerous household wastes. During
a discussion of the bill, a small
amount of a hazardous liquid, .
brought by Unsoeld from her home,
was spilled in a hearing room .
Unsoeld is co-sponsor of 25 ot her
bills, ranging in topic from radioactive waste percautions to saving the
West Hylebos wetlands.
Though of few words last Thursday , the day before she voiced some
of the the most importanl words yet

House.
As a citi zen she insist ed upo n

the charge of protecting the integri Iy of Washington governm ent was
almost thrust upon her. She could

Get it

To Ihe Editor.
Let's get this straight. First Janine
Thome writes a slightly flawed story
and editorial on an important s Ibject: guns on campus. A week later,
two editorialists tear apart her assertions, inferring that her journalistic
sk ills invalidate her opinions. What
rubbish.
The point was, and is, GUNS ON
CA MPUS . One of the editorialists,
Marcia Savage, said that she believed that Evergreen is a dangerous
enough place to warrant issuing handguns to campus police . As proof,
she cited the death of Elisa 1issot
last year. If Ms. Savage is so concerned with violence, she should be
campaigning for the elimination of
handguns, not their proliferation. It
is thi s narrow-minded logic of mett ing aggression with more aggression
that is responsible for many of the
problems in th e world today. induding the nuclear arms race .
Ms. Tissot's death is a tragic event
in Evergreen hi story, but it is not a
good reason to arm campus police.
While it may be that an armed officer mi/!,ht have saved Elisa's life.
it is just as va lid to argue Ih a l if

In response to security's request
for police status and the possible issuance of handguns, I would like to
offer a resounding "No!" The last
thing Evergreen needs is a police
force.
When I first came to Evergreen,
the only "uniform"security officers
wore was a blue blazer. The overwhelming attitude was one of trust
and cooperation. Contrast this to the
future scenario of men in blue swaggering between the buildings, and
the air becomes full of mistrust and
potential conflict. If security needs
to focus on anyone point, they
should work at fostering an attitude
of cooperation and respect.

Dear Ronnie,
I saw your State of the Union address last W~dnesday. And I just
want you to know that your address
bothers me .
So that you don't think this letter
is all bad news, I think you spoke
eloquently. And you are charismatic; you kept your audience in
suspense.
But you see, Mr. President, I
don't believe that the President of
the United States of America, the
most powerful man in the country ,
should get away with the sort of
statements you made last week.
I think that you made statements
of fact, but you never put them into
any sort of perspective. They all add
up to a series of half-truths.
For instance, you want a country
that honors the family, yet you
yourself have been divorced and until recently, you didn't get along too
famously with your son .
You also want an America of
compassion that opens its heart to
those who cry out for help. That's
all well and good, but you seem to
be about the last one to give his heart
. to those in need when you cut the
heart out of public assistance
programs.
You also seem to have a bit of difficulty with your facts. You say,
"We can take pride in ... 7.3 million
new jobs in two years, with more of
our citizens working than ever
before . "
Well of course "more of our
citizens are working than ever
before." That's because there are
more citizens than ever before. Are
you taking credit for the population
explosion?
Then you have some more factual
fun with your "American miracle"
statement. Like the Europeans, I too
find it a miracle that our economy
even functions-wiift-ihe 'deficits you
make. We shouldn't be prosperous
when we owe a couple of trillion
dollars.
The cavalier attitude you show to
that mass of debt shocks me. Why?
Because you don't seem to realize
that someone has to pay that debt.
Who will get stuck with the two

trillion dollar tab? You won't, Ronnie, unless you live for another 40
or so years, which is pretty unlikely. My parent's generation, my
generation, and my children's
generation will all have the overwhelming honor of paying your
debt.
I look forward to that honor with
about the same enthusiasm I feel
when I look forward to dying.
I had trouble holding down my
dinner when you ·implied the computer revolution was somehow a
result of your administration .
Sure, transistors cost a bundle 25
years ago . And sure transistors cost
almost nothing now.
But first of all, you didn't invent
the transistor. Second, you were
never in a position to set the prices
of transistors. And third, what have
you done in the last four years that
could even vaguely credit you or
your administration for making
transistors as cheap as they are now?
This implication you make of
your administration being responsible for the computer revolution is
nothing short of appalling.
I also have some difficulty believing that a rational thinking human
being can take the sort of stand you
concurrently take for abortion and
the death penalty.
You say that abortion is either the
taking of a human life or it isn't.
And if it is the taking of a human
life, you go on to say, it must be
stopped.
Be that as it may, your statement
a few moments later about the death
penalty doesn't make a great deal of
sense in light of your stand on
abortion.
You wish to punish women who
may very well have a valid excuse to
abort their fetuses. But you also
want to execute people for their supposed deeds against society.
Any rationally thinking human
being must see the contradiction in
this thought. The taking of a life is
the taking of a .Iife, and nothing
changes that. Nobody must say that
one life is worth saving, while also
saying another is worth eliminating.
Do you remember what the Bible
says, Ron? As [ recall, it says,
"Thou shall not kill." You are so

penalty.
And Ronnie, children have always
been allowed to pray in class. Their
prayer can't be organized by school
officials. I don't want to see the
government involved in deciding the
official religious beliefs of the nation. That is not the proper role for
the government. Citizens decide their
own religious beliefs, not school officia ls or government bureaucrats.
You also seem to have a bit of
hypocrisy in your ideals of democracy and freedom. You seem to say
that people in the world can be free,
as long as that freedom conforms to
your ideal of government.
That doesn't do a lot of good for
people who believe in other than
your ideals. The Nicaraguans come
to mind as an immediate example.
Who are you to say that because
Nicaraguans believe in a different
form of government they are
necessarily wrong? Did the British
not say that about their colonies, the
ones in the New World, in the late
eighteenth century?
Look what happened to those
colonies--they became the most
powerful nation in the world,
because they questioned the
established values and norms. Now

is undergoing a major change, as is
the nation's psyche. The feminist
movement has impelled most
Americans to change the way they
think and speak about women.
Words and phrases such as "coed,"
"the little woman," and "working
girls," are rarely. seen or heard
anymore. Job titles ha ve changed:
"mail man" to "mail carrier," "fire
man" to "fire fighter," "police
man" to "police officer." Finally,
the definitions of some words have
changed. The phrase, "Are you girls
coming?" can be spoken, without
fear of repercussion, only to females
who have not reached puberty.
But, most changes in language
come about slowly. Some alterations
can be made quickly, though never
painlessly, like those listed previousIy . However, some parts of our

suited every grammar hook
available, and asked many people
their opinions on the subject of
"he." These are the "options" as I
see them:
I) Use "he/she" instead of "he."
I can not comply. "He/she who
·hesitates is lost," is, plainly,
awkward prose. It is out of place
anywhere but on an application or
form.
2)Use "they" instead of "he."
The word "They" denotes two or
more people. Only the pope, royalty, and perhaps "Sybil" may, and
should, be considered "plural."
"They" is confusing. Consider the
following, "The child followed
behind their friends . If the child
wanted to join, they should greet
them first." Who should greet
whom first?
3) Use "he" and "she" interchangeably. Again, this usage is confusing . I have a text for one of my
classes which does this, and [ am
constantly rrferring to previous
pages trying to find the name of the
"she" I think I have missed . Also,
like using "Congresswoman" and
"Congressman," this solution only
calls attention to gender - the opposite of what feminists are striving
for.
4) Use "she" for "he." Again,
this is just calling attention to
gender, feminine rather than
masculine. I can't agree with this
solution either _I want equality, not
revenge,
Because it is still "proper" in
Standard English, and because I
have found no acceptable alternative, I will continue to use "he"
as an indefinite pronoun . I will do
this on two conditions: first. I will.
and do, use it as sparingly as possi ble, mindful that others may abhor
this usage, and, second, I will keep
my eyes and ears open. When I
discover something better, I will use
it with joy and relief.
I do not condone using "sexist
language." I also realize it will take
a while for ALL sexist la,]guage .to
drop out of use - particularly
something as controversial and ingrained as the use of "he" as an indefinite pronoun. With a little
tolerance and ingenuity, perhaps
those who object to this usage can
convince the rest of us to use
something of their own creation.
PEEVE OF THE WEEK "basis," contributed by M.E.
McKain, M. McConnell, and several
hundred others.
"Basis" statements are what I call
'marshmallows" - a lot of air and
not much substance. I will translate
a few for you. "On a year to year
basis" means "yearly." "On a simple basis" means "simply." "We are
on a friendly basis." means either,
"We are friendly," or "We are
friends." "On the basis of your
statement, I can only conclude we
have a basis of misunderstanding,"
translates as, .. I don't understand
what you just said." Get the idea?

Nearly 20,I.XXJ Dine (Navaho) people will be removed by federal troops
from their traditional lands around
Big Mountain, New Mexico, if
Public Law 93-531 is enforced. It is
the intent of the federal government
to lease the land to private corporations for coal and uranium mining
after the inhabitants have been
removed in luly of 1986.
Speakers from the ~merican Indian Movement and other Indian
political organizations were here this
week to talk about Big Mountain
and other places where traditional
cultures are endangered by industrialization, and to educate people about the International Treaty
Council, which will hold its II th annual conference in Washington State
this May.
The 1974 Land Dispute Act,
Public Law 93-531, mandates the
removal of all people and livestock
from a 1500 mile square area in the
loint Use Area of the Navaho and
Hopi reservations. The people consider this land, which is known as
Big Mountain, sacred. While the officially recognized Tribal Councils
have agreed to the relocation, the
Elders and most people of the Dine
are fighting relocation, in Congress
and the courts and on the land itself.
The International Treaty Council

Factory Girls say they caught it from a toilet seat
RP: How did the band meet?
FG: We all lived in the same town
- actually we were an offshoot of
another short-lived band, The Vacations . Paula had played with The
Vacations, and when Factory Girls
needed a keyboard player, we called her up. Mike met Sean in the
studio, and the rest is history.
RP: I've heard rumors that the band
has an E. P. in the making. is this
true?
FG:It's true. Our producer is Chuck
Mitchell, and release date is scheduled for spring of this year. It grew out
of a recording project that Chuck
was doing in L.A.-Chris was going down to lay some vocal tracks.
When the rest of the band heard the
material, we decided that we would
help out. So we all got together
(Steve, Mike, Christine) and went
down. Sean and Paula were not in
the band at this time, so we used a
studio drummer, Andy Vermiglio.
The first two weeks were spent tracking every night. Then there was
another week of overdubs. All this
was done .at a 16-track studio called
Duchess Recording.

material and il is very well put

rich is this film, one could almost

is, composer Phillip Glass has complimented the work by turning the
frantic pace of the action into an environmental ballet.
It is this theme of environmental
awareness that is the main thrust of
the film, of man's attempt of
domination over nature via
technology. The word Koyaanisqatsi
is a Hopi description meaning "life

The speakers expressed solidarity
with all the indigenous peoples of the
world, including the Aborigines of
Australia and the Sami people of
Norway. They spoke broadly and
anecdotally of the struggle of
"natural verses industrial" in the
world. They all talked about the importance of indigenous philosophy
as an alternative to the industrialized attitude to the world- the indiginous philosophy offering a relationship to the land that is expressed in language, religion, and culture.
They cited human rights abuses
directed at Native people, including
forced relocation, forced sterilization, legal persecution, extreme
poverty, and contamination of land,
air, and water in Indian Lands.
The audience was respectful and
interested throughout the long
presentation, although some expressed disappointment that the
planned speakers were not present.

words and phrases - all of them of
no value or assistance to me in my
plight. I felt defeated sitting there on
the toilet: not a thing in mind but my
inabilities . My life was worthless.
"Failure" became my middle name.
All at once I heard the faint sound
of angels singing.
"Son," a voice like my father's
thundered from the ceiling, "What
the hell are you doing on the pot
with your pants up?"
Frightened by these ominous
questions, I could not speak.
The voice came again:
"Remember what I told you ... enjoyment is for louts, jerks, and
twirps. Don't get involved in toilet
tricks.
"The chief sent me here, father,"
I whispered.
"So the chief sent you to the pot.
What the hell for?"
"To come up with a humorous article about bathroom graffiti." A
great silence descended.
"Son," he said softly,' 'the writing
on the bathroom wall isn't funny."
I heard the angels sing. Their music
faded away until I was alone again.
How strange! My father came back
from the dead to advise me .
I looked at those writings and
rea,lized that it was true: they weren't
funny. By not seeing the humor in
them, I had been right all along.
I left the bathroom, as, indeed,
anyone would have done , and I marched back to the office to square
things away with the chief.
When I arrived, many of my
associates were busy at their work.
The chief stood by one of the lighttables involved in a project.
"Chief," I blurted, "the graffiti
isn't funny." the room hushed . The
chief stopped, turned, and walked
towards me. No one spoke. I
wondered what in the world I had
done wrong.
The chief grabbed my hand and
shook it. He grinned with admiration as the .other laughed and
applauded.
"For he's a jolly good fellow,"
they all sang. They pulled a golden
cup-shaped award from a box and
placed it in my left hand. The chief
sti ll clasped my right.
"You have proven your worth to

by Susan Arnold
The Evergreen Women's Soccer
Club had two firsts on February 6:
it was their first game in the Tacoma
Dome and their first game on
Astroturf. The women played hard,
but PlU won 4-1.
The air was still and dry. The
temperature was strangely mild in
the Tacoma Dome. Assistant Coach
Joe Damouni urged the team with,
" Play hard, play to win," and the
players ran on to the astroturf to
battle with PLU . Small crowds
began to cheer for the teams.
PLU scored on the opening kickoff.' During this period the
Evergreen women took two shots on
PLU's goal, neither of which scored.
PLU was aggressive with six shots on
Evergreen's goal, but Evergreen's
new goalie Gretchen Cegg made six'
equally aggressive saves.
After fifteen fast minutes the second period began. Evergreen came
on strong with an offensive push,
keeping the teams hovering near the
PLU goal. PLU scored its second
Minutes later, Maria Gonzales of
Evergreen made a kick which· the'
PLU goalie deflected, but Geoduck
Mickey Cloninger was there to
punch in the ball, scoring one for
Evergreen. Goalie Gegg made five
more saves during this period, proving her exceptional worth to her
new team.
During the third period, PLU
scored twice and Evergreen made
two unsuccessful shots at their goal.
Several minutes into the period,
music and talking came over the
loudspeaker, to some people's
distraction and others' enjoyment.
The game ended, 4-1 , in PLU's
favor. The women had played hard,
each having only a few minutes on
the field. Indoor soccer rules require
only six players on the field at once,
and a 45-minute game. In outdoor
soccer, there are eleven players and
the game lasts an hour and a half.
The teams congratulated and
thanked each other as another team'
promptly hit the turf. Soon,
Greeners were out of the Dome, ending their historic match .
Tri-Co llege Committee, organized in Janu ary of t984 , is made up

Peace

takes initiative
in African food crisis
by Tarja Bennett
Peace Corps is making a nationwide appeal for volunteers to serve
in Africa. They expect to send 600
volunteers this spring and early summer . Recruiters are emphasizing the
need for applicants with a strong
background in agriculture and food
production.
During the last two weeks, Ann
Trutner and Peter Sawchyn were
here to share information, answer
questions, present a film and conduct interviews, They do not usually make.a visit during the winter but
this campaign brought the recruiters
to campus early.
The project the organization has
in the works is the African Food Initiative. According to the Public Information Official in Seattle, Rich
Haugen, Peace Corps is taking a
long range systems approach to
aiding their host countries. The present goals are for reforestation, irrigation, digging wells, and introducing some new farming techniques.
There is also a major emphasis on
teaching reading, industrial arts, and
home economics: nutrition and
childcare. For the young men of
each country who now have an opportunity to use farming equipment

community a gift. "
"All three schC'ols were really happy with what we lea rned ," said
Gallegos, "the final outcome was
that it was a grea t success."
The committ ee is currently in the
process o f wrapping up the Jackson
event; settling finances and dec idin g
on the distribution of th e stud entmade video of t he speec h.
"T h p Tri-Coll ege event is a hi ghpoint em phasiz in g cooperati on ."
stated Ga ll egos, " hut it ma y not

$2,000 in proceeds from the Jackson

th e respective co ll eges. It is up 10
next year's co mmittee members to
decide future events. Evergreen is
making a special point of finding ou!

operation and repair is essential.
The Peace Corps is focusing its efforts in Niger, Mali
and
Mauritania. These countries are in
a state of devastation similar to the
better known Ethiopian famine.
Ethiopians are making their way
to these adjoining countries for food
and other necessities. The Peace
Corps used to be in Ethopia, but due
to civil unrest the country could no
longer guarantee the volunteers'
safety.
The response to the call for
volunteers is exceeding expectations.
There has also been a noticable shift
in the age range of people who are
volunteering. In the past most of the
applicants were in their early to midtwenties. Now many people who are
in mid-career, retired, or have finished with raising their children are
responding. Haugen says the average
age has changed to about thirty.
This is not to discourage younger
less experienced persons from applying. Haugen said the recruiters are
interested in seeing everyone's
background. It is possible that an
applicant could be more qualified
than they seem. Personal experiem;e
is just as important as technical
skills. It is helpful to the applicant
to have undergraduate background
in their field of interest have done
previous volunteer work. In some
cases an applicant can be qualified
simply by being raised on a farm or
in other situations where one can acquire desirable skills from daily
routine.
It is still possible to contact a
Peace Corps representative in the
Seattle office:

Trutner and Sawchyn were pleased with the response from the
Evergreen community. " The
Evergreen students are aware of international issues and they ask good
questions. It's really challenging to
talk with them" says Trutner.
Kadotani Akiko, better known as
Akiko, is an inspiring woman in
more ways than one. Before coming
to Evergreen, she was an elementary

The federation helps min9rities
and communities build and operate
their own non-commercial radio stations. It provides assistance for
writing grants, legal aid, and low
cost progra mming (priced on a
sliding scale, affordable to poor and
less poor stations alike).
The federation holds national
conferences every year. Because of
the vast distances involved, only a
few people from each station attend
- usually a station manager and
possibly a volunteer coordinator.
The national conferences tend,
therefore, to center around
managerial issues. The regional conference here will include that theme,
but equal attention will be given to
program production and hands-on,

information.
KAOS sent three people to last
year's national conference. But the
idea behind a regional conference is
that the rank and file can attend.
Michael Huntsberger, KAOS station manager, encourages all KAOS
staff to sign up .
Stations from Washington,
Oregon, Northern California,
British Columbia, and Alas ka have
been invited to send people. Up to
85 people can attend.
Many organizations - schools
not least among them - provide
support and programming for
publid radio. But the federation's
emphasis on community radio
means they assist a unique category
of stations: those stations that are
licensed in the community they
broadcast in and are staffed
predominantly by volunteers from
the community.
The federation is a cooperative effort of member stations . One hundred and fifty participants member
stations run the federation. KAOS
is one of only two participant
(voting) member stations licensed to
a school.
