'"Wars and revolutions and battles are due simply
and solely to the body and its desires. All wars
are undertaken for the acquisition of wealth; and
the reason why we have to acquire wealth is the
body, because we are slaves in its service." (The
Last Days of Socrates pg. 111)

patrolman while attempting to dig into a lawn to bury a coffin on
the Capitol grounds. His action was part of the "Mourn the
Dead" protest against the war which took place on Saturday.'
Rosencutter and 13 others were arrested for destruction of state
property and face possible fines of $250. See story page 14.

issues, Diversity, Curriculum and Quality

However, some members of the
Evergreen community were concerned
about an apparent Jack of participation in
Upweek planning by people of color.
Academic Dean Les Wong, facilitator
for Upweek, stated, "We have no fixed
membership on the D1F. Anyone can
show up. We want to enable people.
Seven of the 17 people working on the
DlF were people of color, including
myself."
Wong said the structure to Upweek
was rather loose. Those who wanted to
schedule meetings simply had to advertise
them on the bulletin board, then Wong
would broadcast them over the campuswide voice mail. "If groups got together
during the week to discuss issues, then
Upweek worked," he said.
First People's Peer Support scheduled
alternative meetings during Upweek
afternoons. Jabu Dayton, member of
Umoja and Peer Support, said meetings
were scheduled because First People's felt
the morning sessions weren't going to
address the multicultural issues effectively
enough.

who participated in Upweek events,

He observed, "Sometimes a learning
experience for a white person might not
be a learning experience for me. I think
some of the questions of m¢ticulturalism
should be worded differently for students,
faculty, and staff of color."
Although Shauna Merchant, a thirdyear student in the French Culture
program knew Upweek was going on, she
didn't know about the theme. "I think a
lot of people think it's just for the

Wong said he realizes he has to try
a more effective mode of advertising
Upweek. "I admit when you do things for
the first time it can be clumsy, but 1 still
think it has been effective," he said.
"I think the classic metaphor 'inch by
inch' is appropriate here," added Wong.
Wong described the meetings he
attended as engaging, and he heard.
"Good dialogue for difficult topics."
Amidst the Joe Olanderl Patrick Hill
controversy last spring, a number of
Evergreen faculty decided many issues.
such as multiculturalism, were being
overlooked. "The faculty decided they
needed a forum to discuss issues facing
the college. That's why the rust Upweek
was for faculty only," said Wong.
Plans are already underway for
spring quarter Upweek, to take place May
6-10. "I'm confident [the faculty] will put
together good programs," said Wong.

Evergreen is host to the , Pacific
Science .Center's traveling exhibition,
"The Science of Having Fun." The
exhibition, which runs through February
25, is located at the campus because
there was no other suitably-sized hall in
Olympia in which to house the display.
According to Donnagene Warden,
manager of conference services, "The
[Library] lobby was the primary spot,
because the gym is used daily by a
number of people." Even with the
inconvenience of access to the computer
labs, especially
for people with
challenges, it was considered the best
choice.
The Pacific Science Center p<rid the
college for direct costs (lights, power),
setup costs (lighting, production), and
administrative costs (paying administrators
for time spent). Evergreen made no

Evergreen Conference Services has a
general policy of not competing with
local businesses when it comes to space
rentals, however there was no comparable
hall in the OIYOlpia area. . Most hotels
have large rooms which serve as
ballrooms; they would have been
unsuitable for this exhibit. The ' show
would have been unable to come to
Olympia if it had not been for the TESC
space. Opening the Library building doors
to the community, as Ward puts it,
"brings people to the campus who would
not normally come here, especially
teachers."
The exhibit is running smoothly.
Student staff were hired to help out and
at least 6,000 visitors are expected to go
through before it moves to its next stop.

Representive Jolene Unsoeld Although

Jolene did not mention the persian 'Gulf

HquSe ' subcommittees, Marine Fisheries
and Education.
Every question from the crowd
concerned the war in the gulf. Many
times Unsoeld found herself on the
defensive and she came under fire for her
"Pm-War" vote. On January 17 she voted
in favor of a reSOlution supporting U.S.
troops, and President Bush as their
Commander in Chief. No one in the
diverse group spoke in favor of the

, "Those of us who did not support the '
policy leading to the war ~d not have
enough votes," Jolene stated. She also
said she offered no apologies for voting
in support of the troops.
.
Larry Mosqueda, an Ever~ ,
professor and ' member of the Olympia
Anti-Intervention Coalition, called on the
representive to follow her conscience and
not to, "test ,the wind to see which way
the sentiment blows. " He also asked
"Will you support , Rep. Gonzales (DTexas) in impeaching George aush?"
Jolene replied, "That is grandstanding.
You have to pick your battles, you can't
vote for simply the purist policy."
This statement angered an older man

Extensive education programs are
needed to reach women who assume that
they are not at risk. Women must
concern themselves with their own sexual
history, their partner(s)' past sexual
history, the current sexual activities of
both themselves and their partners, and
the implications of IV drug use. Women
must recognize their risk factors but they
must also be taught how to protect
themselves, their partners, and their
children from HIV/AIDS. Women must
learn the skills of communication and
negotiations to protect themselves from
the possibility of infection. Protection
begins by learning to talk about sex.
Sexuality must include verbal
communications. It is no longer safe to
not talk about your sexual practices. We
"must learn to recognize and accept
varying sexual activities, speak about
them, and when necessary, modify them
to protect ourselves. Candid talks with
our children about sexual concerns and
practices Can save their lives. ' Women
must learn to negotiate for the use of
latex protection or safer sex practices

Abandoned tank irks activist
by Laura Reed
In the early morning last Friday,
someone left a baby on, my doorstep--a
10 .pound, mauve, used freon-tank baby.
This was not one of those no strings
deals; this one came with implications aplenty. "Dear WashPIRG," the note
began. "This was found in the trash a
few months ago behind the Community
Center." The note went on to .describe
how the fmder of the tank felt inadequate
to
cope
with
the
hassle
of
recycling/disposal of this noxious object,
and thus was looking to WashPIRG to
take care of it. The letter closed with
these words: ''I'll be very impressed if
you can overcome my challenges. I've
been in a PIRG before and have been
disillusioned by their ineffectiveness.
Your success in this matter would give
me the strength to go on." There was no
name, address, or phone number.
Is there any .alternative available to
using ozone-depleting freon as a
refrigerant on campus? Is there any way
to recycle or safely dispose of these

by Cbri<itopber Fondots
We are living in an age in which our
old notion of disposability no longer
makes sense. We have a massive garbage
glut and are producing a half ton of trash
per person every year. Our landfills are
ftlling up and closing down all over the
country and we are finding it nearly
impossible to keep them from eventually
leaching their toxic runoff into our
groundwater. Incinerators are no better
and, even with expensive pollution
controls, spew out,gases that contribute to
acid rain, poisonous heavy metals, and
deadly dioxin. Incinerators also produce
millions of tons of toxic ash which still
must be landfilled.
If we are going to change our
direction to one concerned with the
preservation of our environment we must
curb our wasteful, neglectful approach to
living. Adopting an ideology in which we
reduce our consumption of energy and
resources, reuse whatever we can, and
then recycle the rest is of utmost
importance if we are to preserve our

Recently two Woodinville ~en,
Rich8rd Vaculig and Daniel OuyU, added
to the mystical legend sulrouqding Elvis .
Presley, with a book called "The ElvisUFO Cmnection." The authors c18im that
"Elvis Presley was of cosmic seed,
abducted, manipulated and controlled by
strange beings not of this world."
Vaculig first came upon the idea of
an "Elvis/UFO connection" when he saw
a photograph of the King during a 1985
. television documentary. The photo
displayed Elvis in his "Vegas" stage,
wearing a high-coUared white jumpsuit
studded with rhinestones. Vaculig's
attention, however, was drawn to the belt
buckle around Elvis' bulging midriff.
.
-The buckle contained an infmity

symbol (it 19Qks a figure eight resting on
its side) which, to the authors at least,
resembles the large eyes reported . by
wiblesses of UFO occupan~. Also, ~ere
are 42 gems inlaid in the "mystery
buckle" which was, gasp, Elvis' age
when he died in 1976! Apparently such
meaningless
coincidences
fascinate
numerologists and the authors alike.
Vaculig and GuyH found other

It is profound how the American flag

hearts of 'our team' nearly every decade

over Yankee carnage the world over from

Vancouver 'Island rainforest In danger
by Jobn Wullers
Clayoquot Sound, named after the
TIa-O-Qui-Aht People, is adjacent to
Pacific Rim National Park on the west
coast of Vancouver Island. This region is
a rainforest wilderness that is unsurpassed
in natural beauty. Clayoquot Sound
contains British Columbia's largest
remaining temperate rainforest ecosystem,
and is the second largest in North
America The region includes many
islands and inlets including Aores,
Meares, and Vargas islands, the Shelter
and Sydney inlets ' and the Megin, U rsus,
Walta, and Clayoquot watersheds.
Of the 89 watersheds, encompassing
over 5,000 hectares on Vancouver Island,
only five remain uncut--four of these are
in Clayoquot Sound. Considering 90% of
the land base in this region is tied up in
tree farm licenses (a governmental "right
to _~learcut"), timber companies such as
Macmillan Bloedel Ltd. and Aetcher
Challenge could ruin the entire forest
wilderness within two decades.
Clayoquot Sound has been the
homeland of the Nuu-chah-nulth people
for thousands of years and it is a
"public" forest. Clearcut logging in the
surrounding regions have devastated local
ecosystems by leaving grand-scale soil
erosion on steep slopes, pesticide
poisoning, siltation of salmon streams,
threatened water supplies, arid- the
destruction of wildlife habitat.
Mounting frustration by Clayoquot
Sound locals (Tofino and ·environs) with
forest practices, led to a summer of
blockades at Sulphur Pass in 1988 and to
forums to discuss sustainable development
(forestry) for the region. In April 1989,
locals developed a forum, "Sustainable
Development Strategy for Clayoquot

Sound, A Project Proposal," which called of time discussing the issues at hand, the

Parking lot patrol needed
by Adam Wade .
On Saturday night my car was
vandalized for the second time in as
many weeks. Last time the culprits only
stole my gas cap and left $50 worth of
scratches in my paint But this time, they
smashed my rear window. The glass itself

expense, but I worry that not even this
will protect me (and certainly not others)
against the growing wave of vehicular
vandalism on this campus.
Not a week goes by that I do not see
or hear of someone's car being assaulted.
I know at least a dozen people in a
similar situation to myself, and equally
unable to cover the expense of repairs.

massive an onslaught of vandalism. Why
here at Evergreen?
I _suggest that the school is not doing
enough to protect our expensive vehicles.
Most of us, it seems, can hardly afford to
keep them running, much less deal with
their almost daily destruction. I suggest
that a few quick drive-throughs of the
parking lots are hlttdly enough, especially
at night.
.
I move that campus security form a
special night patrol whose only purpose
is to cruise the parking lots sequentially,
taking time to check each vehicle. Not
only would the patrols cut down vastly
on the amount of vandalism directly, as
well as facilitating the capture of the
vandals, it would also serve · as an
excellent deterrent once word spread of
its existence.
I feel I have been taken for the $54
I paid to parking for a permit For that

fee, I get the privilege of finding my car
damaged, the fear that there may be even
more costly hidden damage as yet
undetected? I expect my car to be
guarded. That's why I paid all that
money. And with all the parking permits
sold, parking could afford to hire a full
time patrol for the parking lots by itselr.
If your car has ever been vandalized
on Evergreen property, speak out. Write
letters to Parking and Security. Call and
complain. And if anyone can prove that
protection for vehicles in the lots is not
adequate, then the school will be liable
for the cost of all vandalism that
occurred there.
. Things have gone too far. Something
must be done. Please join me in
expressing our absolute refusal to accept
this status quo. I, for one, cannot afford
another new window.

Linkage jeopardizes U.S. interests
by Jason Summers
During the entire countdown to war
in the Persian Gulf, the concept of
linkage was brought up continuously in
all the news we heard, and it has
continuously been identified as a bad
thing. Linkage is something the U.S.
government is opposed to and therefore
the American public ought to be as well.
What exactly does linkage mean and why
is the United States so adamantly
opposed to it?
Linkage refers to the linking of the

settlement that deals with the issues of
aggression and violence in the whole
region, the mostobYious cases being the
Israeli occupation of the West Bank and
Gaza, and their annexation of the Syrian
Golan Heights.
Now,
why
would
the
U.S.
government be so dead set against such
a concept? Well, it's like this: The
United States has over the years
developed a very tight relationship with
the state of I.srael and that relationship is
a very strategic one for the United States
in the Middle East U.S. foreign policy in
the area is first and foremost aimed at
denying the opportunity ofany Arab state
from gaining substantial influence over
the resources of the Middle East, and
Israel has been central to the United

is called in Orissa India, is truly unique
becaQse the two dance forms . of Orissi

performance is a historical event in itself.
"The Warrior Queen" was directed
by a Jatra great, Dirhan Dash. Dash has
been directing and studying dance theater
in India most of his life. He is
considered one of the greatest directors
in India for his theatrical revivals of
Orissi temple dan~. Co-directors of this

you niight find this soup more delightful.
But probably not.
Even at high noon on the hottest and
most humid of days iii the troPics, Hot
and Sour Soup speaks to the tastebuds
and the soul.
Hot because of an abundance of
ground white pepper that can make even
the most delicate of persons sweat-sorry, perspire. (Don't stop reading if you
don't like hot food; the hotness is
adjustable.)
Sour because of a tongue-arousing
dousing of vinegar.
This soup is exactly what you want
someone to make for you when you have
a stuffed-up-head cold. It's great for
dinner. And it's perfect for an informal
dinner party, because the soup is ready as
soon as you put all the ingredients in the
poL You can divvy up the ingredients:
someone bring the broth, someone else
bring the prepared tofu and green onions,
another bring the shredded mushrooms
and a couple of eggs and so on.
The soup is Chinese in origin and
this particular version is an adaptation of
the recipe of a gentleman who opened a
Beijing-style restaurant in Honolulu after
leaving China. The adapted parts:
(a) This one calls for homemade
chicken broth whereas the original is
made with water. You may want to
unadapt.
(b) The original includes a teaspoon
of the flavor enhancer monosodium
glutamate (MSG). But because a number
of people are sensitive to MSG (and
excluding it does not appreciably affect
the taste), it is omitted here.
(c) 1 cup of julienned extra firm tofu
(bean curd) has been substituted for 1/3
cup shredded dried tofu (available at

some Asian ' grocery stores).
(d) And, finally, dried Chinese black
mushrooms are not as easy to come by
here ' as they are in Honolulu, so . the
' amount of rehydrated dried shiitake has
been increased. If . you have access to
dried Chinese black mushrooms use 1{3 .
. cup of mushrooms that have been
rehydrated and shredded and cut the
shiitake ·amount to 1/3 cup.
A couple of more things about the
ingredients before we get down to the
recipe particulars.

Hom,made chicken broth

It takes 6 cups broth to make a
batch to feed six to four very hungry
folks as the main course with white or
brown sticky rice as an accompaniment.
But why make only 6 cups when making
three times that amount takes no more
effort? The payoff is extra broth you can
freeze for up to six months (4 to 6 cups
to a container) for future use.
Be sure to thaw frozen broth in the
refrigerator or dump frozen into a pan
over medium-low heat. Make sure the
broth boils for at least 2 minutes before
adding other ingredients to knock off any
food illness bacteria that might be
present
This soup provides an excellent way
to use the bones and skin that remain
after you've boned raw chicken legs,
thighs, Ol' breasv> for say, maybe, a stir
fry dish. Save the bones in the freezer
until you're ready to use them. You'll
want the bones from at least 5-pounds
worth of chicken. Crack the leg and thigh
bones just before cooking to expose the
marrow. If you don't have enough bones
or no ' bones period. supplement or
substitute with wings, backs, and necks.
A couple of pounds of wings, backs, and
necks should suffice.
To make the broth: Place chicken
r-------~-----.. bones and/or parts in a large pan--6 to
9 quarts. ~over with cold water. Add the
.&teen tops ot l . to 2 bunches of green
onions, depending upon how onion-y a
flavor you like. Save the whites of the
onions for the Hot and Sour Soup. Smash
and then add a piece of fresb gingerroot

White pepper and vinegar
The ingredients from which this soup
takes its name can make the uninitiated
uncomfortable. So, you can modify the
hotness and sourness by cutting back on

the white pepper and vinegar. Start by
using a third of the amounts called for
when combining the soup with flavorings.
Put bottles of' white pepper and vinegar
on the table so people can add additional
hotness and sourness as they like.
Rice vinegar is perfect for this soup;
it is light and . delicately sweet It's
available in the Asian section of large
groceries and at Asian markets. Check
the label carefully to make certain you
are not buying seasoned rice vinegar;
seasoned contains MSG.
HOT AND SOUR SOUP
Cut enough extra r... m tofu into
sticks to equal 1 cup. Bake as' instructed
above. Marinate as instructed above if
you do not intend to use pork. Cover 4
to 5 large sbiitake with boiling water.
Soak 20 to 30 minutes, drain and shred
to get 1/2 cup.
Shred 2 ounces lean pork and mix
with mixture of 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1
teaspoon cornstarch and 112 teaspoon
sesame oil.
Heat 6 cups bomemade chiCken .
broth with 2 teaspoons salt (optional)
and 1 teaspoon sugar. Bring to a boil.
When boiling, add 112 cup shredded
and softened shiitake and tofu. Stir
gently and bring to boil. Gently stir in
pork.
Mix 3 tablespoons cornstarch with
3 tablespoons cold water and stir in
gently.
Remove soup from . heat when
cornstarch mixture begins to thicken
soup.
Add 2 ligbtly beaten eggs in a
steady stream, stirring gently. For each
large (dinner-portion) bowl of soup mix
the following in each bowl: 1 to 3
teaspoons soy sauce (depending on
taste), 1 to 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
(depending on taste), 1/4 teaspoon
sesame oil, 113 to 1 teaspoon ground
white pepper and 2 tablespoons minced
white portion of green onion.
Ladle on soup and serve.

Tofu and shiitake
Tofu, or soybean curd, is available
at most grocery stores. Extra firm is best
for this soup because it doesn't fall apart
the way tofus of lesser consistency do.
As insurance, cut the tofu into sticks '
and bake in a 200-degree oven for 30 to
45 minutes. Cool and refrigerate if not
making the soup immediately.
This soup contains match-stick
shredded pork and if you choose to
eliminate the porIf'-you may want to
marinate the tofu instead: Gently mix
baked tofu with a mixture of 1 to 2
teaspoons soy sauce and 112 teaspoon
sesame oil; marinate 30 minutes, gently
turning at least once.
Shiitake is a type of 'broad-, flattopped mushroom that usually is sold
dried, several to a package. It isn't cheap
but you often can lessen the cost by
buying shiitake at an Asian grocery. If
there's savings in buying a large bag,
don't hesitate because you can store
shiitake in a dry, well-sealed container
and use over several months.
You'll need to rehydrate the shiitake
and then remove tough stems and areas
of the mushroom.

Hundreds 'Mourn ·the Dead' at Capitol
by Thomas Fletcher
Police arrested 14·anti-war protesters
last Saturday during a "Mourn the Dead"
rally at the state Capitol.· The
demonstrators attempted to dig graves in
the median between the Capitol building
and the Temple of Justice. They were
arrested for "destruction of state property"
and released later that day.
About 350 people attended the
February 16 rally. The crowd gathered at
through
Sylvester Park, ,marched
downtown Olympia, and ended at the
Capitol campus. The Olympia AntiIntervention Coalition called for the
"funeral march."
The demonstrators created a somber
mood as they marched through the city
carrying coffins with flags from ten
nations on them. They were, for the most
part, silent save the monotonous drum
beat and an eerie violin.
At the Capitol, the demonstrators

placed the cotfms on the steps and
planted crosSes, gravestones, and Stars of
David in the median. One woman gave a
eulogy before the coffins were delivered
down to the median. Once at the median ,
the protesters begaii to dig into ' the sod
with garden spades. They were warned
by a sheriff that they would be arrested.
No one ceased digging and troopers
came to take people away. A vanload of
arrested protesters managed t6leave. But
as two police cruisers attempted to go,
protesters began to sit down in front of
the cars. As police began to drag them
away, more protesters sat down. Soon the
cars were surrounded by chanting
demonstrators.
The stalemate broke as police called
reinforcements. With additional state
troopers, they were able take away
enough protesters to let the cars pass by.
One man continued to block the cars.
He jumped in front of the last car to

drive away, causing a screeching halt by
the cruiser. The police attempted to
apprehend him, but he eluded them.

Kobe has no student dormitories.
Kobe is essentially a buSiness school
and would best fit the needs of students
planning a career in the business sector.
A wider range of courses is offered at
Miyazaki's Faculty of Education.
Evergreen students usually begin
study at Kobe in mid-September and at
Miyazaki in mid-October. These are
actually the second terms of the.academic
year at each university.
To qualify for these exchange
programs, students must have some
proficiency in Japanese, but native
fluency is not required. This qualification
is more important at Kobe University of

Exchange opportunity for study in Japan
by Jose Gomez
The Evergreen State College invites
applications for year-long student
exchanges at two Japanese universities,
Miyazaki University and Kobe University
of Commerce. For several years,
Evergreen has had reciprocity agreements
with each of these universities for
exchanging two students annually.
Evergreen students selected for the
exchanges enroll under an individual
learning contract and pay tuition only at
Under

agreements, Kobe University waives
tuition fees and Miyazaki University
guarantees payment of tuition through
either
a
competitive
government
scholarship or a fund sponsored by its
Faculty of Education.
Students selected to study at
Miyazaki have the additional opportunity
to compete for the government-sponsored
Monbusho scholarships, which cover all
expenses, including air fare. Scholarship
recipients receive a generous stipend
equivalent to the salary of a beginning
teacher in Japan. While these scholarships
are not guaranteed, typically at least one
is awarded each year to an Evergreen
student Both Evergreen students studying
at Miyazaki each of the last two years
have received these coveted scholarships.
There is no similar scholarship at
Kobe, but the university provides a
housing subsidy to help offset the high
cost of living in Japan. Unlike Miyazaki,

Commerce, where all classes are taken
with native-speaking
students. At
Miyazaki, Evergreen students typically
take some regular classes with Japanese
students as well as special classes
designed for foreign students.
Interested and qualified students may
apply for these study abroad opportunities
by submitting a letter of interest and
portfolio to Jose Gomez no later than
March 20, 1991 (please note that this is
an extension beyond the February 15
deadline stated in the college catalog.)
His office is located in the Academic
Deans' area, Library 220SA.
The portfolio should contain copies

Evergreen. It also should contain copies
of papers written for the various
programs in which the student was
enrolled. The letter of interest should set
forth the student's reasons for wanting to
study in Japan, particularly explaining
how such study abroad fits into academic
and career plans.
Applications will be screened by a
selection committee. Portfolios will be
returned to students after the committee
completes its work.

Evergreen Student Governance News
We, the Student Governance of The Evergreen State College, endorse the student body "Walk
Out" and "Speak Out" on Thursday, February 21. This action, in conjunction with hundreds of high
school and college campus actions, commemorates the anniversary of the assasination of Malcolm X. The
action will address issues such as Financial Aid, the GI Bill, Racism, and the Legal and Economic draft.
We further assert that there is a causal relationship that compels a disproportionate representation
of economically oppressed peoples, and peoples of color, into the ,!i!IDed services rather than into ,
institutions of higher education. This act of solidarity concretely ties our position as students-with the
struggle against the war at home and abroad.
We encourage the entire student body, and anyone else interested, to attend and learn.--Submitted
by Rachel L. Jones, Jewish Rep. and Roberto P. Enriquez, Chicano Rep.

An attempted Student Governance meeting was held February 20, but not enough representatives
attended to hold a vote. Do you know where your representatives are?
We decided to have a meeting next Wednesday, February 27, from 3 to 5 pm. The sole purpose
of this meeting will be to discuss the possible reorganization of the student government in light of the
recent opinion of the Attorney General, and in light of concerns as to whether the present government
can effectively represent student interests. So if you're interested in negotiating a new student government
document, come to the meeting~-students and student representatives alike!
