Chalk words wrap around the neck
of men, symbols of a new religion,
a noose to strangle the victim of justice
a noose fresh off the victim of some men's fear
Signs, signs of revolt, dangle
from the panes of the social institution;
making judges of the victims,
a summons to the vile dichotomy
a summons slowly relinquished by former judges

Students lack affordable health insurance
"Insane" costs
keep students
off coverage
by Claire Littlewood
Colin Orr, ' Evergreen's AccoWlts
Receivable Supervisor, just completed a
survey on Evergreen students' healtb
insurance coverage, or lack thereof as he
discovefed.
"I think one reason in the decrease
of students ~ving health insurance
covemge iscOsl," he said.
Orr stated that four years ago the
avenge cost of the llartford student
health insurance plan was about $60 a
quarter. Now it's approximately $144 a
quarter. He said medical costs have gone
up everywhere.
20% of the 323 people in the
questionnaires returned to Orr said they
had no health insurance covezage, and
many of the others said they had
insurance plans.
lBoth Orr and Wen Shaw, Health
Care Specialist in Evergreen's Student
Health Care Centu, cite a young~
student population as contributing to the
decline in the school's Hartfoo1lnsurance
plan.
Wen Shaw, who has been with
Evergreen's Health Center for fourteen
years, and is, after this year leaving
Evergreen with prospects for medical
llChool, said that many of the younger
students are still covered by their parents
medical coverage.
"Insurance is a quirky business,"
Shaw said. "You're betting against the
odds that you're not going to get sick."
Shaw said she'd like to see
socialized health care in the U.S. "As it
is now poor people can't get health care,
and it's not getting any better."
Michael Francis, an Evergreen
transfer student studying experimental
film, said he only has "major bodily
disasW type health coverage, like if I
were to get my ~ cut off."
Francis also said, "Health care costs
in this COWltry are (explicative deleted)
insane." He thinks socialized medical
might work in this country, but he's not
sure about the government ,controlling
health care.
Orr said the drop in students taking
the Hartford insurance coverage motivated
him to conduct the survey so now he's
going to w<Xk on creating two options
for the students. Orr said he'd like to
have one with minimum covenge for
thoSe concemed with cost, and one with
better coverage. "lBut health care costs
are becoming a real major expense for
everyone."

D'souza the · newkidontherig:ttt
by Thou Fletcher '
.
He is their man. He is young and
intelligent Before turning 30, Dinesh
D'souza has served as an advisor for the
Reagan administration and worked on
George Bush's election camPaign. Now
his fIrSt book Illiberal Education has won
acclaim from many including GeOrge E
Will, Tom Wolfe, and the President of
the American Civil liberties Union. He
not even an American, having Jmmigrated
from India in 1978 and going on to
attend Dartmouth College in the early
eighties. Best of all, he is reasonable,
moderate, and of course objective.
Just when Pat Buchan, James
Kilpatrick, and William Buckley seemed
hopelessly pompOus and out-dated, they
have
found
Dinesh
D'souza.
Conservatives have struggling hard to
root out the evil of "radical enclaves" on
college campuses. But even best selling
A1lan Bloom could be dismissed as trying
to preserve "elite white male scholarship."
But Dinesh D'souza is a bona fide
minority, a victim of India's caste
system.
But D'souza is a victim seeking to
tum back what he calls "the victims
revolutions" on American campuses. He
is one of a growing number on the Right
who believe Mfmnative Action is tearing
span campuses across the country. "he
campus is only the start as George ' III
states "the moral fabric of our natie , , is
at risk."
Illiberal Education chronicles the
effects of "giving some preferences to
minorities." Further D'souza maintains
"the victim revolution is transforming
what is taught both inside and outside the
university." He travels from Berkeley
where white students are now the
minority to University of Michigan where
"censorship" has taken place to combat
racial slurs. He blames "enforced

diversity" for creating polarization and
friction between students. High minority
drop out rates result from "under
qualified" sl\ldents who - are admitted
because of "racial quotas." D'souza even
goes on to blame racial isolation on
student groups for "balkanizing , the
campus."
Most of D'souza evidence
comes from interviews from six
prestigious universities Berkeley, Stanford,
Howard, Michigan, Duke, and Harvard.
This is problematic for two reasons, First
we have no idea the context of the
discussion. Second, many of his footnotes
and facts are shaky at best For example,
"This information was provided by
officials (at Berkeley) who requested
anonymity ... while
most
admissions
offtcers will privately admit its accuracy,
they will not publicly release this sort of
information." It seems an ironic slant for
an author who urges a return to tight
scholarship to be so open ended.
Although D'souza rails against
activists with an agenda, he himself is a
master of propaganda. He begins with
examples of injustices, examples that
proponent of affmnative action would
have trouble with and blows them out of
proportion. He goes on to use these
incidence to discredit the whole system
of affirmative action, and the entire
movement to change the elitist canon. He
uses all the new buzz words and turns
the against inventors. His book is littered
- with "diversity, multi-culturism,and white
male domination."
D'souza verdict on American
Universities condemns them for teaching

''The Operation
was a success ...
but your life
savings only have
30 days to live."
Matt ' has compiled this Wall of
over many years.
He
considers himself an artist, and I believe
he .is one. He suffers from no dementia,
mysogyny, or destructive desires. He is
the .most sincere and friendly person I
know.
The Wall of Underwear (and the
whole decorum) surprised me at first.
But I came to understand that it is an
anthropologist's dream.
A short chat
with Matt reveals his interest in the odd
things people do in America. A visit to
his room reveals the odd and brilliant
items people wear where no one can see
them.
Last winter, Matt lived alone in a
two-person room, after his roommate left
for reasons unrelated to this.
Bob
Carleson of Housing asked Matt to meet
with him in his office. Bob's first words
' in that meeting were, "We have a
contract, right?" He went on to tell Matt
that he could either take down the Wall
of Underwear, move into a single person
room, or leave Student Housing. That's
how it began: A series of lies and
half-truths inflicted by Housing upon
Matthew, Joey (my other roommate) and
me. I have tried to preserve the exact
wording of every significant statement
Housing employees made to us during
those weeks.
In the first meeting, Bob asked Matt
to arfmn that they did indeed have a
contract. When Matt told Joey and me
Underw~
of this, . we read the Official Housing
Contract (OHC) and the Social Contract
(SC). We found nothing in the OHC
giving Bob legal grounds for his
statements. In the SC, we found three
sections defending Matt's actions (WAC
174-120-020 2-a, '7-a, and 7-b).
The next day, Joey called Housing
and spoke with Linda Hohman. She:
(1) claimed the OHC and SC gave
Housing grounds for their actions,
(2) explained that "Women's underwear
with tacks through it would be pretty
intimidating," and
(3) suggested that Joey couldn't
understand this because he has never
been a victim of sexual abuse.
(1) is false, (3) is a false
assumption, and (2) is interesting because
neither Linda nor Bob had seen the wall
they were talking about. The underwear
is tacked up, not tacked through. The
tacks are functional, not artistic. The
implications of doing so make tacking
through a pair of underwear absolutely
intolerable to everyone in our apartment.
(2) also confused us because women
don't live here. In response to Joey
saying this, Linda acknowledged that
". Who complained to you regarding
my display and on what dates?"
". Specifically which policies or
regulations do you feel the display
violates?"
Days later, Matt received a letter
explaining that:
(1) No person officially complained.
Instead, a man briefly moved in during
Winter Break and cited the 'artistic
choices' of his roommates as his reason
.
(4) "A majority or the complaintanls
were male."
This is the statement that really
freaked us out. "Complaintants" is plural

No guitars ... no bands ... no parties ... no kegs?
Occupancy limits proposed
by Jeremiah Bennett
As I approach the conclusion of my
fust year here, I reflect back on some of
the highs and lows. Both academically
and socially this had been an exciting
year. One of the things I enjoyed was
when Nirvana played in the mods. I also
enjoyed many of the other times I've
kicked back and relaxed at a band or keg
party.
Unfortunately, I'm told, those things
are a thing of the past Housing has
decided to outlaw bands, or any amplified
instruments, and to impose occupancy
limits ranging from five people in a oneperson studio to 30 people in a sixbedroom
apartment.
These
new
restrIctlons will completely eliminate
weekend band parties, and make · it so
any student who throws a party where
there are more people than the permitted
number takes a serious risk. The serious
risk I'm referring to is this: Housing or
Security can decide to call the flre
department on you, and charge you in
excess of $500. Would they do it? Bob
Carlson says they wouldn't, but I
personally have had a fife truck called to
my apartment (along with five police cars
called by Larry Savage of Security) and
was threatened with a $500 charge. Why
didn't I get charged? Well, with no
occupancy limits, there was no case. Next
year, with the limits. in effect, ' who

and "majority" implies a minonty, so at
least three people complained, and at
least one of them was a woman.
Matt has always told us that he
would remove any piece of art we
objected to.
This offer has always
extended ' to· future roommates, and even
guests. But Housing was taking offense
and essentially formal action in the name
of a person who did not exist
We suspected that the actions taken
against Matt had little legal basis and
realized we needed to get things on paper
to begin compiling material for his legal
defense. On January 23, Matt sent a letter
to Bob politely
,fusing to meet his
demands while hoping for a mutually
beneficial resolution to this conflict.
Matt also requested some information
he's legally entitled to:

knows? Bob Carlson says that Housing
doesn't really
intend to enforce
occupance limits, he just wants them as
a tool for housing to use--just in case.
You may say, well this sucks, we ·
can't argue with fIre codes, but the fact
is there aren't any occupancy fire codes
for rental apartments--the codes are
Housing's intervention. In fact, a ground
floor six-person apartment, with twice as
many people in it, as allowed by the
proposed limits, is probably less of a fire
hazard than any tenth floor unit in A
dorm with one or two people in it.
Then, you may ask, what can we do
to stop housing from waging war on
weekend parties? Well for a start, call or
write Housing to complain. Their phone
nwnber is 866-6000 x6132. Chances are
they won't listen to us right away, but
next year they may be forced to, if we
all work together.

There were seven sessions total,
covering the following issues: H1V &,
AIDS, Past to Present; legal and ethical
issues; women, minorities, youth and
AIDS; safer sex; talking with partners
about AIDS and other SIDs; and cultural
issues.
I attended the session covering legal
issues, conducted by Jutta Riediger, who
was insttumental in the passage of the
bill designed to educate Washingtonians
about AIDS. What follows is a synopsis
of the morning session, with comments
from UW professor Robert Crawford's
afternoon talk:
In 1988, the Washington state
Legislature passed the Omnibus bill (SB
6221),
aeating
a
comprehensive
education/training program. The bill,
which Riedeger, refers to as the Ominous
bill becallse of its ramifications, has
several parts.

the youth of the state. This requires that
a certain amount of AIDS education be
taught to all children, "once each school
year beginning no later than the fifth
grade." (402, 1)
In short, education
programs will be developcxl by local
boards of directors, in conjunction with
teachers, administrators, parents, and
community members. (402,2) This applies
to all public schools.
In the case of colleges, Omnibus
clearly states that, "The governing body
of each state four-year institution of
higher education shall make infonnation
available to all newly matriculated
students on methods of [transmission and
prevention of HIV]." (501) In other
words, everybody who is entering a state
school (such as Evergreen) has to receive
adequate education. I know I have, but
it has been despite the school's lack of
effon.

severe denial over It s educabon of
AIDS, possibly because of this culture's
obsession with being bealthy.
According to Crawford we. often
think of health and death on a contmuum.
Since all characteristics fall somewhere
along this continuum, we naturally fall
into denial over anything (such as often
terminal illnesses) that takes us away
from obtaining the healthy being that, we
identify ourselves as.

"RIPOFF": immaculate rooms don't need cleaning
by Doug Smith
I commend the fact that because of
Mr. Egan's group RIPOFF, Housing may
be conducting room cleaning workshops,
and that they will be waiving fees for
summer residents.
However, the premise on which you
are basing all your arguments disturbs me
greatly. I've been a student here three
years (all three in housing) and I've
never been charged an inordinate amount
for cleaning. At the end of my first
year, when I had little idea as to
underwear, from page 7
for leaving Student Housing. This by no
means constitutes an official complaint.
And
(2) Housing withdraws its .demands,
but will revive them should an official
complaint be f11ed.
Bob cited no legal basis for his
actions.
We hope that letter ends Housing's .
campaign. From it we learned some
things we feel we should pass on to other
Housing residents:
•
Housing claims to
have legal
housing's expectations, I was charged
$36. At the end of last year, I cleaned an
entire 5pa common area by myself, in
addition to my room, and wasn' t charged

below me wasn't charged a thing either.
It has been my experience among my
friends that Housing is quite fair with
their charges.
Mr. Egan, you said your friend had
been charged $60 "after leaving his
apartment immaculate ..." (CPl, May 30)
I have to question what you (and your
friend) mean by "immaculate." I have a
strong feeling that you are basing your
fonnation of RIPOFF on one of two
things: either you have lower standards
for cleanliness or you're too lazy to
properly clean your apartment.
I

me to wonder how many people accept

In the long tradition of departing
college editors, I will now make my
parting . statemenL Although the Cooper

we have brought it close to the best it
can be given the environment at
Evergreen. People love to complain about
everything at Evergreen, including the
CPl.

often:

Me: "That's a great idea, the problem is
I don't have a pool of writers I can
assign stories to, could either you or
someone you know write the story?"
Potential writer: "I can't write [or] I
don't have time [or] I don't know anyone
who Can write."
Me: "I'll try and nod someone, but if
you could try to that would help me a
lot."
Nine-teen out of twenty times I do
not find anyone to do the story, and I
never hear back from the person.
I have 'a similar experience with
responses to irticles in the paper. The
conversation goes something like this:
Potential writer: "I can't believe w~t
so and so wrote about such and such
[and/or] that article contains such and
such errors and/or omissions."
Me: "Well, you should write an
article explaining why they are wrong."
Potential writer: "I don't have time
[and/or] I can't write."
I do not have the time, nor do I
think it is appropriate, to respond to
every article that I or others think is
worth responding to. Also, I do not have
the time to check every fact printed in

Super Saturday an outdated publicity event
~ B~4~n
Williams
, ~Another Super Saturday draws nigh,
and I can hardly waiL This annual ritual
just keeps getting bigger and better,
stealing away hundreds more families
each year from other high-brow cultural
activities--such as the Enchanted Village
in Federal Way, the arcade at Capital
Mall, or that festive little playground they
have at the Burger King on Cooper Point
Road.
Oh, the activities abound! Yes,) I
think this is the year I will have my
baseball pitch clocked by radar goo at
that one tent by the Grassy Knoll. I have
never been too much of an enthusiast for
the dunk tank, unless they had a really
inviting target this year--such as Joe
Olander and a briefcase filled with the
$194,000 he received in (plooder)
severance pay. Sad to think that last
year's master of ceremonies is now in
Australia, yet his spirit lives on. Just as
the fonner lESC president put up a
facade Surroooding an uncertain past, so,
too, does Super Saturday present an
illusory image of Evergreen.
Originally, the event was inspired by
self-preservation.
What can be more
understandable and, yet, often debasing
than that motive? At a time when state
legislators were rampaging against the
coUege and its perceived radicalism, it
seemed important to make the campus
open to the public for a one day
celebration of the best of Evergreen.
The chief value on display, of course,
would be that strong sense of community
that Evergreen has--so strong that
students have been fully empowered for
years through a cohesive, Wlified student .
goveromenL ..ooops, wrong school.
However, good intentions often come
to naught. Super Saturday has become
such an overblown spectacle that one
expects each year to fmd a monster truck
competition in the soccer fields, or
perhaps--in homage to carnivals of yore-a freak tent. "Come see the Greener who
listened to George Bush speak without
cringing: could be the carnie spiel for '
such an attraction. Personally, I think
you'd be more likely to find the twoheaded calf, but that is just a guess.

run across all the fonner Greeners who
have taken a day off from their lucrative
careers in convenience stores in order to
take 3 stroll down memory lane. No, but
seriously folks, why spend money on the
career development office when you can
increase the coffee selection in The Deli?
The fact that this grim gala occurs
at graduation time is food for thought.
Because Super Saturday, or Stupid
Saturday as cynics would have it, runs so
contradictory
to
the
"Evergreen
Experience," it represents a weird
culmination to a four-year (and then
some, often times) inveSbnent. Perhaps
the administration hopes that when
Greener alums look back wistfully on
their Evergreen days their last~g
impression will be that they attended
college at Disneyland.
If the sole reason for the
continuation of Super Saturday along the
track it has taken is one of public
relations, then I think the institution errs.
Evergreen has achieved a level of
stability now, it has established its
reputation. It is at a crossroads. Critical
of
issues
such
as
the
nature
multiculturalism, instructional quality, and
continuity in course content need to be
addressed.
Make-believe on the second Saturday
of every June will not exorcise these
problems. Nor will it gloss over
damaging spectacles such as that which
occurred in the House Chamber. this year.
1 can personally understand the passions
behind that incident, but from a civics
standpoint it was a disaster. .Really,
disrupting a state legislative body -just
because its setting is ' prettier on camera
than the more appropriate Federal
Building?
The Evergreen State College is a
good, in many aspects a great, school. It
has students, staff, and faculty who are
passionate about ideas, which affords it tremendous opportunities. It seems to me
that it would be fitting that the spirit of
such a place be recognized in some
celebration far more unique, and less
commercial, than Super Saturday.

admire someone who is not only willing
to form his own opinions and think for
himself, but to openly share those
opinions with the rest of this closedminded campus.
This school espouses free thought and

conform to the narrow PC guidelines that
some anonymous person has created for

and read a comic that is forthright and
honest, instead of hiding behind the mask
of political correctness. I just wish we

Choices foster30w .rate ol __ abortion '
by Jennifer Green
Like Ms. Prusa, I have also been a
regular reader of .the Cooper ·Point
Journal for the past five years and did in
fact read Kathyrn Brown's article (May 2
issue). This article infonned the
Evergreen Community about a pro-choice
pledge drive of which 30% of the monies
raised would go to Planned Parenthood,
the other 70% for the campus chapter of
the National Abortion Rights Action
League (NARAL).
Ms Prusa's
conclusion that this pledge drive w~
solely to benefit Planned Parenthood is
inaccurate, a close reading of the Brown
article reveals. This response however, is
not aimed at nit-picking Ms. Prusa's
incorrect conclusions.
As an abortion rights activist, I have
the
utmost respect for
Planned
Parenthood's tenacity in providing
infonnation and access to contraceptives;
screening for
sexually
transmitted
diseases, anemia, breast and cefll(al
cancer; counseling; abortion referral and
services; and programs directed at and
preparing young teens for parenting--all
providing an inexpensive array of options
for those planning to have children and
not planning children.
I find it ironic that many who want
to deny choice to all women also want to
limit any choices women may be able to
make over their own bodies--this includes
infonnation and access to birth control as
weU. In a detailed study, "Unintended
Pregnancies, Contraceptive Practice and

(March/April 1988), it was found that the

I. IMPLEMENTATION
Humaru' ty cannot continue to operate with
a throwaway economy. The Evergreen
State College as an environmentally
cOnscious educational community should
be a leader in developing and promoting
ecologically sound practices. Many
actions need to be undertaken for
th
Evergreen to dramatically decrease e
amount of waste it generates and
discards. With the slate of recycling

waste.
All large "wastebaskets" in offices
and public rooms should be eliminated.
Instead employees should be given a
small container for food scraps, tissues.
and other potentially . compostable
materials that they generate.
Every office, classroom, studio, and
lab, and every public point where paper
can be genezated should be. supplied with
two containers: one for high-quality white
paper and one for mixed paper.
CenttaI repositories for cardboard
should be established in convenient
places.
VI. FOOD SERVICES
Food services is already aware of
waste reduction and recycling problems.
It is recommended that Food Services
should eliminate the use of all disposable
plate~. cups, and dinnerware as soon as
possible, and use only reusable, washable
items. Central places should be
established for deposit of dirty items in
all buildings, and students should be
employed to collect them regularly.
VIII.
PERSONNEL
CONSIDERATIONS
A full-time coordinator of recycling
and waste management should be hired.
For now, custodians should continue
to perfonn their customary jobs, and
should only be responsible for removing
waste. The question of them performing
some recycling jobs such as removing
paper
and
cardboard
to
central
depositories on loading docks, should be
negotiated.
A crew of additional people to
handle recycling should be hired. It is
recommended that as many of these
people as possible be students, though the
college must ensure that ·the work can be
handled during vacation times as well as
when classes are in session.
Language should be inserted in all
hiring contracts and employee job
descriptions specifying that anyone hired
must participate in the campus's waste
reduction and recycling activities.
C. Glass, metals, and plastics
The number of containers marked for
cans and bottles should be increased to
make these containers easily accessible
throughout the campus.
Procedures for plastics will have to
be developed as the recycling market
improves. This should be one of the
responsibilities of the pennanent task
force.
D. Reusable items
A few central collection sites should
be eSlablished (Housing, CAB, Library
Building) where reusable items can be
deposited for donation to charities,
Goodwill, and other such agencies. This
should include an area for good
cardboard boxes, clean paper bags, and
paper used on only one side.
All employees and students should
be encouraged to use paper already
This has been a brief summary of the
plan that the Recycling DlF has
developed over the last five months. I
have only included what I felt were the
most interesting points of the report, and
lack of space has limited the amount of
material I could convey. Other points
included in the report but absent from
this summary are the plans for the Labs
and messy arts, the housing areas,
recycling on the Tacoma campus, and the
ways and means for educating the
Evergreen community about waste
reduction and recycling. This infonnation
is available at Library Circulation and I
encourage everyone to review it, and let
your thoughts on it be known to either
Burt Guttman, the DlF Chair, or Glenn
Duncan, Campus Recycling Coordinator.
Have a great summer everyone, and
wherever you go remember the positive
effects you can have when you Reduce,
Reuse, and Recycle!
Christopher Fondots has written many
recycling articles for the CPJ.

Western Washington. Dairy farming is
very effective here and Western

County cows goes to outside the county

Meat cows graze throughout Western

than cows, are easier on the soil and
don't produce all the methane that cows
produce. Like the Squaxin and Nisqually.

concerned about pesticides and herbicides
leaching into our w~ supply. We would
be more likely pursue agriculture 0 with
susta!nability in rnincl and keep all the
top soil we have for our children. This
would require developing new crops and
agriculture methods which is being done
at Wes Iackson's Land Institute in
Kansas. The ideal crops would be
polycultures of herbaceous perren:ials that
are high in nutrition and, of course. grow
here-not in Kansas. Those forests that
supported the Squaxin and NiSqually
peoples may be our best bet for
sustainable food.
farmers provide the Olympia area with
much of its organic and non-organic
produce because they can grow huge ·
crops in the fall and late winter: grocery
stores want a constant, dependable and
inexpensive supply of produce. The Coop makes an effort to buy the scant
supply of Thurston County produce that
is made available to them: that includes
carrots, red and green lettuce and broccoli
that show up in mid-summer.
A regional food economy would have
all kinds of advantages but it would be a
complex shift to make. We wouldn't be
pumping all that carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere the way we do now in order
to get our food from California Along
with the carbon · dioxide we would
eliminate the monetary costs of shipping
and distributing food grown three
thousand miles to the south. We would
also become more connected to our
immediate environment when it is
providing us with an essential part of
life--food.
We would all be more concerned
about the challenges that farmers face
and support land-use planning bills that
keep farmers in business. We would be
produce its own food? Certainly, but
under the ' current agribusiness farm
structure of this country, it's barely
possible. Right now the best way for a
person interested in living off of local
food would be for them to devote the
time to a large garden; a wholesome and
meaningful option, but one requiring
private land. Besides some of it being
sold at the Farmers Market, much local
produce is sold outside of Thurston
County through . distributors and other
middle-people. Local large organic
farmers have to turn their harvests over
to the Seattle-based Farmers Wholesale
Cooperative in order to compete with the
invading California and Florida produce.
The Wholesale Cooperative finds the
markets for Washington-grown organic
produce wherever they may exist and this
means marketing it as far away as
Colorado and Maryland.
