Evergreen students 'packed the
first two rows of a Senate Ways and
Means Comittee hearing Monday to
express distress over a proposed 29.7
percent TESC tuition hike and any further
cuts in the college's budget.
In their testimony, students urged
senators to come up with creative
alternatives to a tuition increase and to
avoid cutting college funding.
Two professional lobbyists
commented afterwards they thought
Evergreen student testimony made a
positive impression on the senators.
The Senate was still working on
its revision of the 1991 ..93 state spending
plan when the hearing was held. The
Senate committee expects to release its
plan in a couple weeks.
"There is still opportunity for
more student input," says Jennifer Jaech,
Evergreen's legislative liasion.
Students can voice their opinion
by calling the legislative hotline (1 .. 800562-6000) or by writing to their state
representative and senator.
The proposed tuition increase and
the cuts are the result of a $694 million
drop in state revenue. Based on state
revenue forecasts, continuing revenue
decline could push state budget cuts as
high as $1 billion. Revenue began
~;c~~:!~~~UlY at the start of the 1991 ..
To prevent further cuts in the
budgets of state colleges, Gov. Booth
Gardner has proposed tuition increases.
The highest increase was proposed for
Evergreen which would pump state
resident tuition up 35 percent. The 35
percent is made up of Gardner's proposed
29.7 percent tuition surcharge and a 5.3
percent routine increase.
The House proposal is far more
complex. The tuition increase is the same
but the proposal gives the Board of
Trustees the authority to reduc-e the
increase for in ..state undergraduate students
and increase tuition for out-of-state
undergrads.
The House's plan also
eliminates budget cuts.
Rather than see Evergreen take
another budget cut, the college
administration leans towards a fair and
equitable tuition increase that covers
financial aid concerns, according to
Evergreen legislative liaison Jennifer
Jaech.
Evergreen took a 2.5 percent
budget cut Dec. 1 because of the state's
revenue shortfall. At the same time, the
Governor ordered Evergreen and other
state agencies to brace for a second 2.5
percent cut .... a cut that actually could go
higher than 10 percent across the board,
according to Steve Trotter, Evergreen's
budget officer.
Instead of the second budget cut
the Governor decided to raise more
revenue by increasing such fees as cable
TV sales tax and college tuition.
At the Senate hearing Evergreen
student, Stephen Anacker, proposed a
simple plan: increase the Governor's
gambling and cable tax proposal by $20
million. This additional revenue would

offset half of the tuition increase and the
remaining increase would be spread evenly
between all students.
Before the hearing J.E.B. Stuart
Thornton, Evergreen student and intern to
the legislature, organized a meeting to
prepare students to testify at the Senate
hearing.
"At the firSt hearing I went to
Evergreen students had no representation.
At the second hearing we had three
students, and at this hearing we had six
times as many students representing our
view", said Thornton.
As a follow up to the Senate
hearing Kim Goforth, Evergreen student,
will collect letters about the tuition
increase from Evergreen students and
deliver them to senators. Letters for
delivery to senators should be addressed to
Goforth and left at Evergreen Admissions
before Jan. 29.

MITprogram
receives $300~OOO
EVERGREEN-~The
_Evergreen State
College announced that its Master in
Teaching Program received a three-year
$300,000 grant from The Pew Charitable
Trusts to expand the program's innovative
efforts to prepare teachers for increasingly
diverse populations and the -changing
demands of the classroom.
The grant also directs benefits to
local high school students. A major
portion of the grant supports a program
developed through a partnership between
Evergt"een's Master in Teaching (MIl)
program and the North Thurston School
District to provide special training and
support to students, especially students of
color, interested in becoming teachers.
"We feel very fortunate that the
people at the Trusts were impressed
enough with Evergreen and the learning
community approach for our Master in
Teaching program to provide us with
substantial support," says Ian Kido,
director of the MIT program.
The partnership with North
Thurston School District is just one
example of the kind of cooperative
ventures the MIT program is developing to
encourage talented high school students to
pursue a career in teaching and to increase
access to teacher education programs for
students from a cross-section of society.
The MIT program also hopes to develop
strategies to support practicing teachers.

Suspects
by Dryan Connors
According to Sergeant Larry
Savage of Evergreen's campus security, a
suspect in the parking lot break-ins, a
juvenile, has been questioned about, and :
admitted to, the multiple thefts and
vandalism.
' ''We're still doing interviews with
some of the suspects... [But] out the six
I've interviewed, only one has admitted
guilt," Savage said.
Campus security started the
investigation the first week of December,
when, according to Savage, "we got a hold
of some real good leads."
According to the suspect's
confession, the "Ring" would park at the
Cooper Glen Apartments, and then, from
the woods, stake out the various car-lots
(mostly F-lbt) around campus.
The variable times and locations
of the break-ins/vandalism made security
stakeouts unfeasible.
Savage commented that it will
probably take ten days to two weeks to
gather enough evidence to file cbarges.
But, as Savage added, "I think:
one of the interesting things is that until
yesterday [Ian. 21] we haven't had a car
break-in, since I started my investigation
the second week of December."

Two years ago, KAOS introduced
an idea to boost the diversity of its
programming schedule: a satellite dish.
This dish would allow for instantaneous

Manager of KAOS, Michael Huntsberger,

between KAOS and the Evergreen

working together, KAOS would have
further access for gaining fund raising

Carl J. Schmidt: 1955-1991
The art of Carl John Schmidt. photo by David Mattingly
lJy Andrew Hamlin
Carl John Schmidt, an Evergreen
student, died of heart failure Sunday,
December 28, at his home in Olympia,
He was . 36 years old.
Schmidt
had
battled kidney disease for the past six
years, and his fatal heart attack came on
the heels of a less severe attack several
weeks · earlier. Memorial services were
held Sunday, January 5 in Fort Ward
State Park on Bainbridge Island, where ,
Carl spent much of his life.
At Evergreen, Carl studied
creative . writing and made beautiful
etched metal jewelry, which, as the
announcement of his death tells,
occasionally sold but often gave away.
Much of his work featured the sea, which
he tried to stay close to. He 'worked as a
fish farmer on Bainbridge Island and as
a boathand in Port Townsend. He was
also a swimming instructor at the
Bainbridge Island Swim Club, and a
member of the Port . Townsend Food
Cooperative.
Last year for Valentine's Day,
the Craft of Character class set up a table
in the CAB to sell love poetry, and Carl,
who was in the class, set up next to us
with his etched jewelry. I wrote a
dolphin poem for his daughter Carla, who
kept havingareams in which she was a
dolphin. She still ' does, apparently. He
told me about the Ragalin, Neil Young's
boat, which he had visited several times
and was friendly with the crew of. A day
or so later I watched Carl and his
girlfriend Jen follow a frog up the incline
where the path to ,the 'dorms meets the
staircase to the CRC, chasing . it through
the brush that grows there.
Carl was a gentle, friendly man,
and a uilented artist. My hardest problem
in dealing with his death is that he will
not say hi to me in the halls anymore.
Four weeks after his death, I'm stilll
looking for him out there, and I don't
know how long that will last.
The art exhibit from the Grasp
Tight the Old Ways Program is dedicated
to Carl and features two of his etchings,
one of which is reproduced above. It runs
through January 31 at Gallery II in the
Library.
Halvor M. Halvorson: 1919-1992
by Andrew Hamlin
Halvor M. Halvorson, a founding
trustee of the Evergreen State College
and eleven-year veteran of TESC's Board
of Directors, died Tuesday, January 7, at
his winter home in Palm Desert,
California, He was 72 years old. A
resident of Spokane since 1947, he had
worked as a construction consultant in
that city since the demise of his own
general contracting firm, H. Halvorson
Inc. , in 1987.
"He was one of , the great
U1Jstees," said Evergreen's founding
president Charles McCann, whom
Halvorson helped hire in 1967. "He was
enthusiastic, delivered support, and he
gave criticism when we needed it."
Washington Governor Dan Evans
appointed Halvorson to Evergreen's frrst
Board of Trustees in August 1967, five
months after legislation creating the
college was signed into law on March
21. He served on the Board until 1972
and was reappointed to a second term,
from 1973 to 1979. He was Chairman of
the Board for the 1970~71, 1975·76, and
1978·79 school years.
Halvorson also served on the
college's Site Selection and Building
committees, using his construction
expertise to influence Evergreen's highly
praised architecture and landscaping. "He
had the vision to procure a lot more
property than they intended, so they
ended up having a lot more room," said
his youngest son, Ronald Halvorson of
Spokane.
Memorial services were held
Saturday, January 11, at St. Mark's
Lutheran Church in Spokane.
Born on a farm in Dahlsland,
Sweden, Halvorson immigrated to the
United States at age three, graduated high
school in Monlana, and studied
architecture at the University of
Minnesota. In World War II he was a
forward observer under General George
Patton, saw action in the Battle of the
Bulge,
and
helped
liberate
the
Buchenwald concentration camp near
Weimar, Germany.
After the war, Halvorson ran a
contracting business in Salem, Oregon,
before moving to Spokane and forming
H. Halvorson Inc. in 1947. Over the next
40 years the company rolled up over half
a billion dollars worth of business. Its
San Francisco's
projects
included
Letterman General Hospital, the nuclear
reactor at Richland, Washington, and the
Tecolote Tunnel in Santa Barbara,
California, which made the cover of Life
magazine in 1954.
Survivors include his wife,

Though it may seem that
recycling on campus is at a standstill I
assure each of you that is not the case.
Recycling has continued through the work
and dedication of many people who
deserve recognition and thanks.
Mark Kormondy, temporary
refuse collector; Pon Price, maintenance
y
mechanic and fabricator and Mark Lacina
of " Housing Maintenance have dedicated
many hours to making improvements in
the collection process .as well as the
organization and cleanlIness of recycle
collection areas. They have helped collect
tons of recycled materials, cardboard,
paper, cans, and glass.
Bonnie Ward, working from
custodial services, has worked nearly
single handed in moving paper, cans and
glass throughout the buildings to the
loading dock collection sites. She has
cleaned, organized and sorted recycling
commodities for efficient recycling. Her,
dedication is equalled by none. We all
owe her thanks and appreciation. (Good

Congratulations to all for making it

what I got for Christmas. That's right, an
actual AIDS diagnosis! For those of you
who don't know, that is different than
being HIV positive.
The old defmition of AIDS meant
you had the HIV antibody, and you had

(Big words, I know). The new definition
of AIDS is your T4 count is below 200
and you are HIV positive. Most people
have T4 counts between 1000 and 2000,
my T4 count is 16.
This new diagnosis is both good
and bad. It is good because now the
government will pay for all my medical
costs and I get a monthly check without
having to work for it. But it is bad
because this means my health is seriously
rocky and I couldn't work full time if my
life depended on it.
My strongest hope is that we find
a cure or treatment for AIDS before the
government runs out of money to keep me
alive. There are advances in this arena,
though they are not fast enough to suit my
particular laste.

One more important thing for you
to know, people with AIDS are NOT

I have no power over my life. If I let the
doctors have complete control of my life
I'd probably be dead by now. If I let my

I am constantly researching ways to keep
myself alive. If I ever hear you call me an

ignorance by the sharpened pencil sticking

AIDS (pL WA).
I would like to slate, for the
record, I am not an expert about AIDS or
HIY. I am just trying to put a human
element onto all these new terms. This is
a real disease that anyone can get. There
are no restrictions about age or sexual
preference involved. If you are having
unprotected sex you can get HIV, it's that
simple. The fastest growing group of
people getting infected with HIY are
teenagers. When I was a teenager I
thought I was indestructible. I was wrong

an arrow (or any other object) could
never go from one point to another. We

Let us denote d the handicap that

runs 2 miles and catches up with the
tortoise; notwithstanding Zeno's
argument. This, by the way, will
happen exactly 12 minutes after the race
starts (in case there is still any doubt).
Let us follow Zeno's reasoning.
After 6 minutes Achilles has run 1 mile
and will be where the tortoiSe was at the
beginning of the race, and the tortoise
has meanwhile advanced 1/2 mile. After
3 minutes, Achilles has run 1/2 mile
and will be where the tortoise was last,
and the tortoise has advanced 1/4 mile,
and so on. Achilles will run then a total
distance of

miles or 2 miles, as we already know.
The apparent paradox arises when
we think of the infinite number of
instances at which we can argue that
Achilles is still behind the' tortoise and
assume that the time it takes for
Achilles to catch up with the tortoise
being an infinite sum of times (the
times between these instances) must be
infinite. However, a finite quantity ldIll
~ (or ~ represented as) an infinite
sum.
[s it really true that as long as
Achilles runs faster than the tortoise, he
will eventually catch up with the
tortoise?
As long as Achilles keeps running
at a constant speed faster than the
tortoise, the answer is "yes." Suppose
Every time that the tortoise advances
one mile, Achilles diminishes the
distance between them by one
thousandth of a mile. Thus. tOOO miles
ahead (of the initial point for the
tortoise), Achilles catches up with her.
But suppose that Achilles decides to
run in a strange way: Initially he runs
twice as fast as the tortoise but as soon
as he gets to the starting point for the
tortoise (the tortoise has moved 1/2
mile), he changes his speed and decides
to run 3/2 as fast as her. This way,
while Achilles runs the 1/2 mile that the
tortoise has -already run, she runs
2/3(1/2) = 1/3 of a mile. After
Achilles has run this 1/3 of a mile, he
has run a total distance of

Forum
by Dia Taylor
I wish to direct a few words to
feminist men and women regarding sexual
harassment charges.
There is nothing especially
"patriarchal" about the maxim "innocent
until proven guilty." A rumor alleging that
a man did sexually harass or is being
charged with sexual harassment is not a
good reason to avoid associating with that
man. '
Such a rumor does not even
warrant repeating, for spreading slanderous
rumors about that man is a type of
punishment of that man, and unless you
have very good reasons to believe that he
did indeed sexually harass someone, you
cannot declare that man guilty and
deserving of punishment
Feminists only discredit
themselves when they assume that any
man accused of a crime by a woman is
necessarily guilty of that crime. And
feminist students only forsake their own
chances for intellectual development when
they refuse to take a class from a
professor who is rumored to have sexually
harassed someone, if their refusal is based
solely on such a rumor.
When feminists presume guilt
without sufficient reason, punish
randomly, and take heresy as fact. they are
acting on the same (non)principals which
have permitted injustices against women
over the centuries. Such a statement may
require considerable defense at a school
where it seems to be commonly held that
there. is no truth, but only ideology.

However, here I want only to say
that when you, by encountering a rumor of
sexual harassment, are put into the
position of judge, you have (at least) these
two principles to choose from: "innocent

testimony is always more credible than a
man's." I believe that feminists have much
more to gain by adopting the former
principle. Feminist projects founded upon
self-deceit are likely to self-destruct.

The students solicited reactions
were for the most part positive, ranging
from "I think iCs {their demonstration]
pretty cool," to "It [the war] never should
have happened," and ''I'm glad they're

The unsolicited reactions were
less positive. "They look like a bunch of
drunks," a boy in the front row exclaimed
staring at the demonstrators. A girl mused,
"Why would they want to waste their
time?"
The protest seemed to have an
impact among the high school students. A
few students even lingered to read the
signs emblazoned with "Bring Bush to
Trial for Murder" and other slogans of the

conspiratorial typewriters that transform

The film is a voyeuristic study
of why Burroughs wrote at all, and why
he wrote what he did. The most tragic

MY OWN PRlVATE IDAHO
A FlU.! BY Gus VAN SANT
STARRTlNG
RIvER
PHOENIX AND KEANU
REEVES
OLYMPIA FILM FESTIVAL AT THE CAPITOL
c
THEATER: JAN. 26-FEB. 1
"I always know where I've been
stuck before, y'know," muses River
Phoenix to absolutely no one at the
opening of Van Sant's latest, My Own
Private Idaho. As Phoenix stands on a
deserted stretch of road in Idaho, solitary
except for the mountains and his though!S,
the camera focuses unnervingly close on
his cheek, and when he coughs the
resulting vibration in your own chest, his
scratchy voice in your ear, let you know
you're in for something special.
Portland's Gus Van Sant, with
fi lms such as Mala Noche and Drugstore
Cowboy to his credit, is hailed by Amy
Taubin as making "... the first American
films to give male homosexual desires the
dignity of their true complexity." My Own
Private Idaho is his best work yet.
Phoenix plays Mike, a gay street
prostitute whose narcolepsy gets him into
bizarre situations all over the Pacific
Northwest. Keanu Reeves plays Scott, his
temporary protector, who, as a slumming
preppie, is biding time to come into
money from his father, a high seated
politician. Scott and Mike, members of a
gang of street prostitutes, have an
interesting relationship with Bob Pigeon
(William Richert), the group ring leader.
Bob acts as both lover and
surrogate father to Scott and Mike; their
relationships are just one way that Van
Sant deals with the desire for love and
family, and the role of fathers, in
contemporary gay subculture. He adds a
Shakespearean twist to Scott and Bob's
relationship, having them act out their
emotional twists and turns like Falstaff
and Prince Hal, forever flinging words
back and forth.
Van Sant, who is fascinated with
adolescent drifters, says, " A certain
contingent of street hustlers I met. .. were
looking for guidance and attention from
men. Sex was something they did, but it
was unimportant What was re.ally
important was sometimes control and
sometimes attention and focus from
somebody who could be like their dad."
a labeL" This, I feel, is one of the many
points that Van Sant is trying to get
across in his movie. His characters cross
the boundaries of the gay societies in
America and hopefully expand the vision
of awareness.

r(NJFf.
During a campfire scene, Mike asks
Scott, "Do you think I'd be different if I
had a nonnal Dad?" "What's a normal
Dad?" philosophizes Scon. Contemplating
that realization, Mike, as he has nothing
left to lose, confesses to Scott, "1 just
want to kiss you, man." When Van Sant
wrote the carnpfrre scene, he wasn't
going to give Phoenix so much sexual
identity, but Phoenix rewrote the scene so
that he is actually attracted to Scott, thus
adding a whole new dimension to the
film and creating a more interesting
interplay between the two.
My Own Private Idaho has it all,
from coffee shop discussions about the
sexual abuse they've received, to Reeves
and Phoenix having animated discussions
from Male Call and G-String magazines
in an adult bookstore. Udo Keir shows
up in this movie at strategic points as
Hans, an admirer of Mike's, and Van
Sant's portrayal of the three's bedroom
scene can only be described a still-life
sex: Very odd, very post-modem, very
much like a slide show.
Van Sant uses his creative license
to construct a film of incredible depth
and meaning, if at times hard to grasp.
Even the music lyrics add pr~fundity

however, when in the last scene Mike is
back on the same road, and again falls
down in a narcoleptic stupor. As the
lyrics of 'America the Beautiful' drain
through the sound system, a car pulls up
alongside Mike. Two men get out and
strip him of his shoes; he doesn't even
budge. They drive off and soon enough
another car comes along, but instead of
further taking advantage of him, the man
picks him up and gently places him in
the car, while we are singing ..... and
crown thy good with brotherhood.. ",
ultimately balancing the previously
hopeless message of the film with faith
in that basic building block of America.
