Thomas is leaving Evergreen in June,
to work in a large community college
system in Dallas as Vice President of
Student Development When asked why
he is leaving an environment he seems to
like so much, TIlomas said, "I've always
had the aspiration to return to Texas,
which is my home."
But Thomas has enjoyed his home

1975. "For the past 14 years I have

An alanning number of indecent
exposure incidents have occurre(i on The
Evergreen State College's beach trail in
recent years, creating a difficult problem
for the school's administration and
security force to solve. The undelStaffed
security force has been unable to prevent
these incidents or apprehend any suspects,
leaving the cOllege to search for other
aItmlatives to bait the attacks.
.
The latest
incident
occurred
Wednesday, May 9 on the beach ·trail
near the meadow. At approximately 4:45
pm, two women walking on the trail
were passed by a man clad only in socJcs,
hiking boots, and ~rimmed glasses.
The nude man sat down near the trail
and commented to the women, as they
passed him, "You two sure are good
looking." The women walked away and
the suspect, described as a male
caucasian, 20-25 years of age, 6'0' tall,
160 pounds, of medium build, with
medium length blonde hair and a fair
complexion, did not make any additional
lewd or aggressive gestures or comments.
Since May of last year, TESC's
~onnation Services department has
distributed more than nine news Jeleases
detailing attacks on the beach trail and
adjacent area. The reported incidents have
occurred mostly in afternoon or early
evening during the spring and sununer
months, but attacks have been reported as
late as October. This year, five indecent
exposure incidents haye been ~
!he first one occumng on Apnl 4.
The Evergreen State College
Olymp~ WA 98505
Address Correction Requested
Similar incidents have occurred at !he
McClain Nature Trail and throughout the
Olympia-Thurston COWlty area. Such
attacks are not new at Evergreen.
"There have been indecent exposure
incidents on the beach trail ever since the
school opened" said SgL Darwin Eddy, a
member of Evergreen's security force for
eight years.
Typically, the suspect(s) in these
cases . have exposed their genitalia, made
explicit sexual remarks, and! or attempted
to fondle !he victims' breasts or buttocks.
In more than one incident, victims report
that the suspect was rust sighted wearing
sweat pants or bikini briefs, only to
reappear later nude or semi-nude. Most of
the victims have not been physically
injured by the suspect
Not all of the victims are left
unharmed, however. On August 8, 1989,
a woman walking near the Geoduck
Beach House was assaulted in the early
evening. The suspect, described as a 6'0"
white male with kown eyes, brown
"slicked-back" hair and a "beer belly",
attempted to gag the victim with his tshirt and force her to the ground. The
victim fought back, causing tt.e SWlpect to
flee when she struck him in the shoulder
with a rock. 1be victim· suffered no
serious ilijuries.
Female suspects have also been
involved in indecent exposure cases at
Evergreen. On April 4 at 8:20 pm, a
male student
walking between the
Recreation Pavilion and the Mods when
a nude woman emerged from the nearby
was
woods and yelled at him. The suspect,
described as a female caocasian between
5'7" and 5'10" tall and 170 pounds,
quickly disappeared back into !he forest
The same evening, at "'10:30, a nude
woman of a similar description was
spotted between A-donn and the CRC
building. ~
Sergeant Eddy suggested the
appearance of the nude female(s) was in
retaliation for the attacks of women on
the beach trail. . "These particular cases
were probably an expression against the
recent incidents occurring along the trail"
he stated.
The number of suspects involved the
beach trail attacks is unknown.
"We have received a variety of
different descriptions of the suspect or
suspects." said Evergreen Security Chief
Gary Russell. "But we've also found
several consistencies between some of the
descriptions." One repeatedly encountered
suspect description is of a caucasian male
between 6'0" and 6'2" in height, with
blonde, medium-length hair. He is of thin
to medium build, and has been seen
wearing black and gray leopard-spotted
bikini briefs.
Russell believes that one reason for
the numerous attacks is the beach's
reputation as a gathering place for nude
sunbathers.
"Five or six years ago, Evergreen
was written up in a nude sWlbathing
publication." he explained. "Our beach

appreciated the opportunities I've been
exposed to," Thomas said. "There are
very few organizations active in the
process, as far as decision making is
concerned, of collaboration. Evergreen
provides the opportunity for people to
interact with each other across divisions
of work."
At Evergreen, administration "is not
restricted to pushing paper," he said.
"There is such an abundance of talent
and knowledge here you've got to be
good at negotiating."
Having been at Evergreen for 14
years, Thomas has been witness to many
changes. "Since 1975 there's been a
concerted effort, particularly in the last
five years, to move Evergreen toward a
·synthesis of theory and prlktice," he said.
As an example, Thomas pointed to
Evergreen's
efforts
at
promoting
"democratic cultural pluralism."
There was "a lot of rhetoric and
posturing when I first came here." Since
then, Thomas has seen " a change in the
way people are hiring faculty" and
"efforts by both staff and students to deal
with the cancer in our society known as
racism:
In addition to changing college
policy. Thomas has noticed changes in
students as well. Not only are they
getting YOWlger, he said, their outlook has
changed.
"Students early on were guided by a
sense of spiritualism and collectivism.
Students now have a tendency to deal
with the world more from a material
point of view guided by individualism."
"This is not a negative reflection on
the students' part, it's more a reflection
of the larger society. In the past 20 years
society has been moving more towards
the kind of narcissism that we see now."
For example, Thomas described, "the
whole healthy struggle around trying to
develop student governmenL Power for
what and power for who is really the
fundamental question," he said.
"Materialism manifests in individual
groups wanting more power, collectivism
in wanting to share power," he explained.
"Rather than seeing [student government]
as an opportunity for sharing power,
people see it as threatening."
When asked how he felt about
Evergreen
being
promoted
as
multicultural when the majority of the
students are white middle class, Thomas
said, "Even with a white student body
you can have multiculturalism. My
observation is Evergreen has always been
multicultural. "
Evergreen still has room for
improvement, however. "There are a
limited number of people of color here,"
Thomas said. "I want to see more."
Even if that should be achieved,
"It's not enough to have people of color
on campus and present a good FrE
count," Thomas said. There needs to be
"cultural infusion inio the curriculum, a
reflection of individual's commitment to
promoting democratic cultural pluralism.
lust adding a book by Zora Neale
HlD'Ston or Richard Wright will not do
it" The curriculum needs to be, "less
Eurocentric and more multicentric,"
Thomas said.
A farewell potluck will be given for

Multiculturalism: a term In error
two campuses
0
Money talks and
academia listens
This editorial was printed in the May
9. 1990 edition of the Seattle Weeldy. It
is interesting to see media representations
of Evergreen outside our own area, and
we at the CPJ thought it was worth
reprinting. Kevin Boyer, editor.
by David Brewster
Take a walle on the university of
Washingron campus on a lovely spring
day, and you will find the place in
luxurious bloom. The striking new Allen
Library is nearing completion--a building
of remarkable architectural confidence on
a campus where additions could more
properly be described as subtractions. At
its base, a gorgeous new garden has been
freshly planted under the bronze gaze of
(for some reason) Norwegian composer
Edvard Grieg. The place still feels oddly
deserted, scarcely a bustling and funky
"university district" at all. But it does
convey a sense of being about to burst
forth inlO a grand age of new buildings-a new prosperity: a mighty billion
dollars' worth, in fact.
Then pay a visit to The Evergreen
State College, a dispirited place where
the president, Joe Olander, is under siege
by unhappy faculty members and a
bulldog reporter for The Olympian. Here
one can see the difficulty of changeironically, a particularly tough road for
"reform" colleges 10 follow--and the kind
of destructive faculty politics that can
topple, or neutralize, a dynamic pesident
impatient with the status quo. Evergreen
is battening down 10 weather another of
its many storms.
There are ironies aplenty in this tale
of two campuses. Olander is a genuine
refonner of higher education, an
individualist and a character with
widespread
respect
among
other
academics, donors, and legislators. He's
what the doctor has ordered for American
higher education, but he now thinks twice
about everything he says, for fear his
irreverence be interpreted in the light of
his new media image of flakiness. UW
president Bill Berberding is a very quiet
reformer, a smooth diplomat, a gradualist.

press notices. One is being skewered for
doing what we all clamor for; the other
is being patted for persisting down the
path we supposedly condemn.
But, of course, we really are of two
minds about all this. Places like the
University of WashinglOn are being

rapidly rerooled as research parks largely
because scientific research and graduate
education are one of the nation's great
"export" industries; moreover, all this
R&D is essential to the retooling of the
American economy (and to maintaining
Northwest competitiveness). Complain as
we will, there are abundant reasons for
"reseMChifying" Arn~rican universities.
It is also very costly, as one can see
by comparing the nation's tuition rises in
the 1970s (slower than inflation) with the
1980s (nearly twice as fast as the rise in
the cost of living). And it will get
worse, since science professors typically
teach fewer undergraduate hours than
humanities profs and since their support
costs are enormously greater. All this has
driven universities into the arms of a
different funding angel. Thomas Sowell,
the author of Choosing a College,
recently put it this way:
"The
most
fundamental
misconception
of
many
leading
institutions of higher learning is that they
are primarily institutions of higher
learning. Money talks in academia as
elsewhere, and what that money says on
most campuses is 'do research.' Johns
Hopkins University, for examp!e, has
about 3,000 undergraduates. They pay
about $14,000 a year in tuition. If every
undergraduate at Johns Hopkins paid full
tuition, accepting no financial aid, that
would add up 10 $42 million-approximately one-tenth of what Johns
Hopkins receives in federal reseMCh
grants alone."
Sowell goes on to deplore the poor
quality of instruction for undergraduates
that this shift in emphasis entails. He
notes that classic research universities
such as Berkeley are now outranked by
like
Eckerd,
Fisk, . and
schools
Birmingham-Southern in the proportion of
their undergraduates who go on 10
receive PhDs, so great is the impact of
"teaching institutions" on undergraduates.
Hand-wringing about such a pattern
has become commonplace, but it is just
about as meaningless as football fans
complaining about high salaries for
quarterbacks. Years ago, the UW more
or less gave up on the state Legislature
and turned instead to Senata' Warren
Magnuson, research grants, and local rbig
business. The result is a university with
wildly uneven deparUnents. But what else
was it to do?
Even so, the tide may be turning,
slightly.
As

and
undergraduate teaching declines at
prestigious schools, consumer resistance
is starting to set in. Some IOken
enhancements of undergraduate education
are being offered, although a reseMCh
university that goes very far down this
road will be putting itself at a distinct
competitive disadvantage. There is some
talk of more sharing of resources among
universities to hold down costs.

I was heartened by Etta Lee's letter
10 the CPJ [Vol. 20, Issue 24] in which
she points out the factually incorre¢t and

that

claimed at Evergreen 10 be preferable 10
the term 'black' because it identifies
people not by their skin color, but by
their place of "cultural" origin. But Africa
is not the locus of a common culture.
"Africa" was, like "Arabia," invented by
imperialist intruders. Africa, like the socalled Arab world, was--and in great part
still is--the locus of many populations
with different cuslOms, i.e. different ways

different cultures. These populations

'African-American'
is
just
as
objectionable as the term 'black.' And
since the people in question are in fact
devalued by racists because of their skin
color, not their continent of origin, and
have insisted that black is just fine

least as acceptable as 'African-American.'
2) Not long ago I heard a Latin
Americanist insist that the term 'South
America' is objectionable since it
excludes Central America. The person in
question urged that the correct term is
'Latin America.' But how long has that
part of the world been "Latin?" It ~

gay/lesbian and Eum, African, Asian,
Hispanic, Native and Jewish American. It
is utterly stunning that our most vocal
guardians of monD/political righteousness
failed 10 include Arab cultures as globally
significant and domestically pertinent.
Arab cultures have contributed mightily
to the formation of "Western civilization."
Arab immigrants have made notable
contributions to US culture. And, perhaps
most pointedly now, there is no group
more reviled and slandered in the United
States than Arabs. In the media and in
US popular culture, e.g. in films, racist
stereotypes of Arabs have been common.
At the present time anti-Arab hysteria has
reached a fever pitch in many quarters as
Arabs are identified as "terrorists." In the
last few years there have been several
murders of Arab-Americans in the
United States by Zionist terrorists. And
of course the United States (and South
Africa) continues to finance with the
monetary fruits of our labor, the slaughter
of Palestinians by Israeli troops and
settlers in the occupied terrilOries. There
is every reason 10 identify Arab cultures
as among those we are obliged 10
understand as victims of Western
imperialism, as contribulOrs 10 US
culture, and as co-shapers of Western
cultures. Yet never has an administrator
or self-appointed guardian of cultural
integrity suggested that Evergreen's
curriculum is strikingly deficient in
effectively excluding Arab cultures from

Still fighting 20 years later
by ROD Jacobs
On April 30, 1970, the Nixon
regime announced that US troops and
bombers had been sent into Cambodia in
a major expansion of the US war against
the Indochinese people. Meanwhile, in
New Haven, Connecticut, a week of
protest against the legal lynching of
Black Panthers Ericka Huggins and
Bobby Seale was nearing its end.
Within
hours
of
Nixon's
announcement, however, the remaining
protestors reconvened and voted for a
nationwide student strike against this
latest war crime in Indochina. By May I,
thousands of American citizens were
joined by people throughout the world in
massive actions against the war
expansion. These protests continued to
grow in numbers and intensity and, on
May 4, National Guard troops opened f1l'e
on students at Kent State, Ohio, killing
four. In the weeks following, the strike
and accompanying protests continued,
with over two-thirds of U.S. colleges and
universities ultimately closing. In the
halls of Congress, antiwar congresspeople
joined their constituents in condemning
the Cambodian invasion and the
resumption of the US bombing of North
Vietnam. In College Park, Maryland,
Seattle, Washinlton, and dozens of other
cities and towns, National Guard troops
were called in to quash the rebellion.
High schools throughout the country went
on strike and joined their older brothers
and sisters in the streets. US soldiers
throughout the world expressed their
solidarity with the peoples of Indochina
and their antiwar compatriots in the US
in a variety of ways--from wearing black
armbands to refusing to obey orders.
In addition to the antiwar
insurrection, other uprisings also took
place. In Augusta, Georgia, America's
war against its black colonies took the
lives of six African-American men, all of
whom were shot in the back by police.
The triaI in New Haven continued in its
Analysis
attempt to legally lynch two important
leaders of the Panthers and, in Jackson,
Mississippi, the US government's war
against Vietnam and the non-white
peoples of the United States came
together brutally when law officers
opened fue on African-American students
protesting the racist society which sent a
disproponionate number of young men of
color to die in the war against the people
of Indochina. After a ten to fifteen
minute fusillade, two young AfricanAmericans were dead and ma!lY others
wounded.
Of course, that was then and things
are different now, right? Sure...But not
exactly in the ways you might think.
After all, there's a Bill Cosby show and
even a talk show hosted by an AfricanAmerican man. The Soviet empire is
crumbling and Nicaraguans voted for
democracy. Some academicians are even
claiming an end to history; a utopia.
Let's examine these claims. There
no large-scale wars anymore because
low-intensity conflict has replaced them,
destroying people's lives and livelihoods
in foreign lands with minimal US
casualties. Thus, the perception is created
that the United States is not really
involved in any wars, which in tum
provides ample space for the Pentagon
and its cohorts to do their diny work.
Nixon's name for this policy was
Vietnamization--a cynical name for a
cynical, racist policy which pretends to
American citizens that they are somehow
are
different from their fellow earthlings.
Consequently, goes the reasoning, as few
US citizens as possible should die to
protect their government's interests.
In a similar manipulation of reality,
the problem of racism is redefined in
terms of crime. With the removal of job
opponunities (other than McDonalds)
from the inner city to the non-union
south and third world countries, the
resultant unemployment, and the ponrayal
in the popular media of poor youth of
color as criminals, the system's attempt
to control the poor is represented as a
fight against crime. This perception,
which ignores the documented criminality
of the Ollie Norths, Ivan Boeskys, and
Nixons, allows racist attitudes and
consciousness to grow to dangerous
levels. That, in turn, creates a climate
where police killings of people of color
become commonplace and murders by
racist white gangs are excused by official
and opinion making elements of the
larger community.
Although racist slurs and attacks are
criticized by school administrators and
government
officials
alike,
the
institutionalized
racism
and
everincreasing
tuition
combined
with
educational plans which track poorly
educated youth into poorly funded
community colleges prevent most nonwhites (and most poor whites) from
attending
four-year
colleges
and
universities. This, in tum, perpetuates the
existence of racial and class inequalities,
along
with
their
accompanying
perceptions.
We need a strategy to end this. Not
just electoral politics, not just a mass
movement in the streets, but both and
more. As Malcolm said... by whatever
means necessary. Some encouraging signs
are the increasing solidarity shown by
union members for their sisters and
brothers under attack by the corpomte
bosses. Two immediate examples are the
recently resolved strike by the UMW
against Pittston Mines, and the ongoing
Greyhound strike. In addition to worker
solidarity, student, anti-intervention, antiracist, and anti-sexist groups have lent
suppon to these strikes as well, walking
the line and providing material support
Another positive development is the
upswing, on campuses and in the streets,
in protests against the revival of racist
hate groups like the Klan and Aryan
Nations; and the mindset which
encourages those groups to flourish. The
recent uprising against the police murder
of an African-American youth in
Teaneck, New Jersey, and the student
strike at U.C. Berkel~y the last week of
April against the structurally designed
racist and sexist admissions and faculty
hiring policies are but two encouraging
examples. We should also remember that
if there was no Central American
solidarity movement, the US military
would have been in Nicaragua and El
Salvador in force long ago.
I was 14 in the spring of 1970 and
I never thought I'd be fighting
imperialism and racism twenty years
later. (Not that I knew what it was called
back then.) But then again I never
thought Nixon would be thrown out of
office, either. Nor did I ever think the
same bunch of crooks would be running
the government that ran it then. But they
do, and I am. Justice will be served. If
we fight for it
Guatemala--To
the
adventurous
tourist, Guatemala is a land of plush
rugged mountains, colorful clothing, and
a blissful landscape free of the concrete
jungles which scar our United States.
Behind this first impression however, lies
an impoverished nation at yet another
crucial point in its long and brutal
history.
Between 1979 and 1983, over one
hundred thousand Guatemalan peasants,
teachers, union organizers and religious
workers were massacred by government
forces, trained and paid for by the US
government These atrocities were carried
out under several military dictators
including Rios Montt, in reaction to a
growing opposition movement which had
begun to consolidate into an organized,
broad based opposition posing a real
threat to the military government
With the opposition movement largely
decapitated by 1986, a democratic
socialist party candidate, Marco Vinicio
Cerezo was voted into office under
widely criticized elections in which the
majority of indigenous Guatemalans (60%
of the total population) dido't vote.
Cerezo brought with him the current
administration, renowned for its human
rights abuses, internal corruption and
fmancial mismanagement. In January of
this year at the annual budget repon
session, Cerezo failed to account for $50
million of US economic aid received last
year.
In the six years of Cerezo' s
administration Guatemala has become an
economic basket case with skyrocketing
inflation, deteriorating public services,
and a medical system which has run out
of medicines and resources, closing the
country's largest hospital. By United
Nations international standards, 85% of
Guatemala's population lives at poverty
level, with 70% at 'extreme poverty.'
Gasoline prices have risen 35% in the
past month, along with basic utility costs.
Utility price hikes, including a 35%
increase in gasoline prices in the past
month, have magnified the uncontrolled
inflation which has resulted in the
devaluation of the Guatemalan Quetzal
which has fallen 400% over the past five
years putting it at a disastrous 4.09
Analysis
Quetzals for one dollar. This is good
news for North American ttavelers, but
devastating to the national economy as
import prices rise, triggering further
inflation and perpetuating a vicious cycle.
The end result of current policies is
an impoverished population living at or
below subsistence levels, and finding it
more and more difficult to meet basic
needs, such as food and shelter, and
education. The homeless line the streets
begging for change, families pick through
garbage dumps for scraps, and illiteracy
remains at 56% of the population.
Under the "democratic opening" of
Cerezo's government, anti-government
demonstrations have reappeared since the
brutal
years
under
the
military
dictatorships. However demonstrators still
risk their lives by publicly challenging
the government Students are forced to
wear hoods and masks to avoid
identification by police. Three weeks ago
four student organizers of the annual preEaster demonsttation were murdered by
government death squads.
The growing poverty and repression
breeds discontent and radical revolt.
Today, guerrilla fighting in the country
side has increased substantially, and
opposition forces now have control of
large areas including the Lake Atitlan
region, 45 minutes from Guatemala City.
Reaction by the military has become
increasingly violent, although partially
restrained in light of widespread criticism
by international human rights monitoring
groups. Although the U.S. has scolded
Cerezo on human rights violations and
drug running, this has more to do with
controlling the next administration than
any real concern for the people of
Guatemala. Further, the President has no
control over the military, whose power
Page 6 Cooper Point Journal May 17, 1990
has always been supreme.
Guatemala is not experiencing a
scenario new to Central America. In fact,
the unfolding of events here are
hauntingly similar to those of E1 Salvador
in the late 1980's. Rios Montt, the man
responsible for the exterminations of the
early 1980's is the favored candidate in
elections to be held this November. His
popularity is amongst the military elite,
the land holding ruling class, and the
small middle class who take will to
Monu's heavy hand on crime and
corruption which now racks Guatemala.
The situation in Guatemala today is
all too similar to the events which led to
the extermination of the popular
movement ten years ago. This US client
state, racked by civil war and exploited
by land holding oligarchy is not a land of
freedom and democracy, but rather
military state run by criminals and
assassins who use terrorism and murder
as means to maintain the powers that be.

I work for a place that takes in
"captive wolves." One of the main
problems is telling the difference between
real wolves, and wolf hybrids. This is
very serious due to the fact we have very
limited space, and resources.
We are here to try to help save
members of an endangered species-the
wolf. There are many organizations that
do take in dogs, but very few that take in
captive wolves 'SO it is a matter of
priority.
I've been working here over the past
few years doing various jobs. One of
these has been talking to wolf hybrid
owners who are having behavioral
problems with their animals. First I have
to explain, "we don't take in wolf
hybrids, we were created to save wolves,
an endangered species. And if we were
to take in wolf hybrid, it would have to
be at the cost of a wolfs life. And that
in itself would be self defeating."
Next I tell them about their basic
options. Either they can start treating
their animal in the necessary manner i.e.
building the proper enclosure for the
animal and finding a mate of the same
type for it so it won't be lonely. You can
have one of the animals' vasectomized or
have the lUbes tied so they can still enjoy
themselves without creating any more
problems, feed it a proper diet, etc ...
About this time the owners ask if
there is any other alternative. So I give
them the phone numbers of the nearest
Wolf Hybrid Association to see if they
can get help from them.
Unfortunately, with the volume of
this type of call I don't believe any
group in particular can offer a home to
all these animals. So I would hazard to
guess that most of these wolf hybrids are
put to sleep.
I have had many people tell me that
they will turn their wolf hybrid loose in
the wild rather than have it put to sleep.
I know some, or most of these people
were saying that in the hopes I would
change my mind about taking their
animal in.
However, I'm sure that
occasionally there are some that survive.
When this happens to ordinary dogs,
and cats. Most often the animal turns
feral, and attempts to survive in the wild
with varying success. Most of course
don't make it, generally the animal dies.

falling prey to a predator.
sometimes as a result of being shot by a
farmer, or a hunter.
Please consider the damage these
people are doing to the wolf. The animal
they have turned loose is "socialized"
with humans. Basically this means it is
not necessarily afraid of people. The
animal also sees human habitations as an
easy source of food source. If these
were the only problems it might not be
so bad. But, most people have a hard
time telling the difference between a
German shepherd or sled dog type animal
and wolf, let alone a "high percentage"

the animal off because it was getting too

Next, with the problems of

Think of all the possible false wolf
sightings that get reponed to agencies

Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wisconsin,
etc.
The money, time, and energy
expended are totall~ wasted. This is very
sad for the people trying to bring the

very limited.
The reason I bring this up, is that
there seems to be a rise in wolf sightings

Some of these areas are in places where
people did say they were going to turn
their animals loose. I do hope that this
is just a coincidence, but it might not be.
Finally, there is also the possibility
of the genetic contamination of an

on a large enough scale, the damage
could doom the wolf as a species in

Opinion
Prove lD.e W"rong:
by Jon Epstein
If you want to understand how
something really works, you should
follow the money. This sage advice was
offered to me in some economics lecture
long ago and not so far away. Although
many good-intentioned people have spent
many hours trying to develop a student
union there has been little movement No
decisions have been made. No policies
have been implemented. Nevenheless,
everything else on campus keeps
chugging along as if nothing out of the
ordinary was happening.
While many people are focusing
attention on the student union, the real
decisions are being made by the S&A
Board. Perhaps students should focus on
the structure, purpose and operation of
this influential advisory committee. I am
convinced the student union is not an
empowering concept as it is perceived. It
is not empowering because it divens our
attention away from the mechanisms of
control.
Our auention should be focused on
the board of trustees and the S&A board.
Within this framework a representative
structure already exists for students.
The S&A board is designed by state
law to represent the students in deciding
how to spend "THE MONEY." The S&A
board is the student union. When we
make this connection we can see what
changes are necessary to control the
process. If you were on the board of
trustees you could claim that the S&A
board is working very well. While
students fight among themselves over
crumbs you can sit at the big table and
everyone leaves you alone. The S&A
board is conceived in the grand tradition
of democratic recipes; Take a bunch of
students who have little time to devote to
complex issues, overwhelm them with
bureaucratic nonsense, control the flow
of information, make them go to lots of
unproductive meetings, and emphasize
fairness and equality. I h;lve never
participated in a process that was so well
designed to crush initiative. This is not
to say that it cannot be overcome. I am
only pointing out the terrain of the
battlefield. It is around the "S&A
process" where the battle must be fought
if students at Evergreen are sincerely
interested in empowering the student
body. Forget the student union and S&A
reorganization smokescreens. Instead,
spend your time observing the S&A
board allocations of next years money.
Observe the assumptions that are made
and how the meetings are conducted.
Notice how the discussions are
controlled and how uninformed the
' decision-makers
are.
Notice
how
inefficiently the discussion is facilitated
and how disempowering most of the
conversation is. Notice how students are
pitted against other students. Pay
attention! Straighten-up and fly right! Get
involved! Speak-up! Disrupt meetings!
Participate!

Could it have been so long ago that
Freedom of Speech was argued for,
instead of against?
Paul Henry's editorial cartoon of
April 26 [Vol. 20 Issue 22] generated
more hate mail and antagonistic behavior
than anything (to date) printed by The
Cooper Point Journal during the entire
academic year.
The day after the issue was released,
we received phone messages demanding
his home address and phone number.
Many leuers showed up condemning the
cartoon. Paul even received inflammatory
letters at his personal residence. Paul was
singled out in a recent Student Union
meeting and verbally harassed in front of
the entire Student Union. His antagonist
stated that she didn't appreciate his
"fucking cartoon." The phrase "you EuroCaucasians" was used.
You Euro-Caucasians? Excuse me?
Who is accusing who of racism?
Perhaps UMOJA was correct when
they stated "Racist cartoons promote
racist behavior."
Many people stated the cartoon was
offensive and I can accept that, all angles
considered. But being offensive isn't a
crime in the United States, yet.
But when I overheard someone say
he had no right to draw it, then I began
to wonder what country I was really
living in.

opportunity for all the suppressed peoples
to line up and finally be in a position to
keep offensive things out of the paper
and mold it into what they think it ought
to be.
I had no idea how popular the
position was when it was opened. The
sheer volumes of applicants who really
wanted a chance to participate in the
paper, to make a difference; staggered
me. And the cultural diversity of the
applicants was also remarkable. I 'mean,

another! I wish to commend all the
applicants who really wanted this position
and took the time to comp. in to be
grilled by both the staff of the CP} and
the Communications Board.
By the way, there were only two

Cultural caucus behind us
by Brendan WnUams
Following the failure of the "cultural
caucus" governance system to clear the
Board of Trustees the task is now upon
us to sift the ashes and see what's
salvageable. Also we must reflect on the
tactics used in one of the more painful
and polarizing incidents in recent
Evergreen history.
What a difference a week makes! On
May 2 Evergreen student Mary Lou
O'Neil was standing before everybody in
the open gym forum to assert that
Assistant Attorney General Mike Grant
had informed Gail Martin, the Vice
President of Student Affairs, that the
"cultural caucuses" were legal. "Perhaps
I can shed some light Dn this matter," is
how she prefaced her revelation.
After Grant's finding on Monday,
May 7, that the system was not only
of
illegal--but
illegal by
reason
unconstitutionality--she was called upon
to explain the apparent paradox at the
first and last European-American Caucus
meeting on May 9. She claimed he'd
originally found it legal, but then she and
Ms. Martin had sent him baCk for closer
scrutiny because of its importance.
This amounts quite probably, in my
opinion, to an allegation of incompetency
on Mike Grant's part. His professional
responsibility is to the Board, to ensure
through his recommendations that they do
not engage in illegal acts and expose this
college to liability. It seems to
demonstrate a paucity of knowledge in
the area of law to infer that an attorney
would assess a document's legality after
having given it only a cursory glance.
Especially with his job riding on his
judgement.
What had effectively resulted,
however, from this hearsay endorsement
at the gym .was that any movement
towards compromise was derailed. Why
negotiate if your position is set? Indeed,
it was set--but set up for a crash.
I found Isa Soltani's remarks,
regarding the "hostile" conduct of myself
and another at the Trustees meeting, to
be fairly risible. Hostility is defined as
disagreement? The document itself was
truly abusive. Isa has established herself
Page 8 Cooper Point Journal May 17, 1990
as an articulate spokesperson for ideas
Originating from the S&A board. Too bad
that philosophy is neither created, nor
supported, by students.
I did find amusing, though, her
claims at the board meeting that not only
a majority of students at the gym forum-but a majority on campus--supported the
"cultural caucus" system. I personally
doubt a majority of my peers at this
school are segregationists. Yet even were
they so, I thought Mark Sullivan had
exuberantly heralded the death of
"majority" rule. What, then, is the rule?
The majority is only right if it favors
your position?
Interesting, too, that next year's
S&A Board Coordinator, Hugh Moog,
was calling people at the EuropeanAmerican Caucus meeting "Nazis."
Generally, I feel that the only people who
have a right to use that heated term so
casually are survivors of the Holocaust.
Now, I understand that as a veteran Mr.
Moag lived through boot camp, yet I
don't believe that experience compares
well to the genocide of several million
people. Unfortunately, however, many
proponents of the "cultural caucuses"
have engaged in a demagogic frenzy by
hurling accusations of racism at people
who oppose their document for no more
sinister reasons than it violates civil
rights laws.
NDW that they ' ve suffered a setback,
many enthusiasts of the "cultural caucus"
plan want to press forward with the same
structure--noting that the Constitution is
merely a piece of paper. You can't create
a constitutional government though using
an unconstitutional deliberative process. It
also begs the question; what laws do we
heed
following
that
reasoning?
Unfortunately, those people urging
that we ignore civil rights laws in this
case are almost exclusively EuropeanAmerican and they are the least likely to
suffer if their wishes come true. One
could speculate, therefore, about hidden
agendas--yet I'm afraid they're not
particularly hidden.
Hopefully something positive will
come out of this debacle. For one, the
resignations of all S&A board members
who supported discriminatory practices
and highly divisive tactics. They are
especially accountable to state law, since
they administer the allocation of hundreds
of thousands of dollars wonh of state
monies. I'd also like to see a real joining
together of students working towards a
more inclusive student government It can
be done, and must be. After all, the
elimination of racism and sexism topped
the priority list on the Long Term
Student Agenda. We know, . therefore,
what we want student government to do.
We just haven't figured out what it will
look like.
Let's not subvert the imperative of
multiculturalism. Let's stop the whisper
campaigns about each other's motives.
Supporters of conflicting ideals of
multiculturalism need not swagger around,
pretending to be more noble than one
another. Openness needs to replace
deceitfulness, and information games
where half-truths are handed out. Let's
not retreat to McCarthyism. Let's work
together.
EDITORIAL
Part of an article on multiculturalism
from the Planning Council [CP} May 10,
page 8] suggested that we might,
"Establish sports programs which appeal
to urban people." Who are these "urban"
people? I was once an urban person,
many of my friends were urban people
(that is before we moved to Olympia).
What are these sports that appeal to
urban people. I suspect that sports in
general are more popular among suburban
and rural populations where alternate
activities are less available.
Maybe the word "urban" was meant
to refer to. minority groups, and maybe
the "spons" they were referring to were
basketball and football. Quite possibly I
am wrong because the proposal was
vaguely phrased. If we as a community
expect to ever deal with campus
problems, we need to say what we mean,
tell the truth, and leave the double speak
to presidential elections.

grumbling void which resided within my
abdomen. But alasl When I delved into
the caverns of my bag for resources I
came up dreadfuny short of the mark.
Fruitlessly I ravaged my bookbag seeking
the eighty cents I knew did not exist,
hoping in my disappointment that it
would miraculously materialize from the
pages of one of myoid worn books.
Looking on with what I'm afraid may
have been (ahem) pity, as I frantically
searched for pennies, were four fellow

crestfallen expression that must have
swept across my face when the cashier
dutifully removed from my reach the still
warm bagel. The guys asked me how
much dough I needed and began to pool
their resources while the cashier happily
waited and yet another woman pitched a
quarter to the cause. Being students you
must realize that eighty cents is a fortune
in a time of need-but between them all
my bagel was saved from the dumpster.

Make peace,
not racial war
I recently returned from a year away
researching in India, perplexed as ever
about why wars continue in the name of
religiOns and ideologies that followers
always claim preach love (whatever that
is, I guess it includes war) ...
Evergreen has lived up to its
catalog's claims of fostering "learning
through experience." I picked up the May
3 [Vol. 20 Issue 23] issue of the CPJ on
my first day back on campus and I was
thrown back into India, into the global
and universal never-ending 'human
condition' .. .like the cliche, full of angst
but
dulled
with
overuse
into
meaningless ...what am I talking about?
The racial student politics controversy on
campus...
Meeting a few students and faculty
"of color" when I ftrst arrived on campus
in 1987, I liked many of them as
individuals but disliked the fact that the
organizations 'of color' denied some of
my friends--with blue, green, or brown
eyes; with peachy cream or pale pinkbeige or mauve-purple electric blue and
emerald green skin (some wore make-up
and the skin on their eye-lids were more
colors than I can recall) were also people
'of color' ...and I was always perplexed
by the unwanted title as a member of the
Fust People's Coalition--First?--in the
order of what? Who was 2nd? 3rd?
47th? I saw as much worth in the
numerical ordering of peoples as with the
ordering of a 'First World' and a 'Third
World' --that is to. say, none.
I am a woman, Japanese by
upbringing, an American citizen and
Olympia resident according to 'official
papers,' homesick for India at the
moment, a Piscean by the stars, born in
the year of the Monkey, a Thursday's
child .. .and I know I am a minority in the
Evergreen community when it comes to
the vote--I can't think of anyone else on
campus who shares my views on
introducing Malayalam as a required
curriculum at Evergreen, who would like
to see Ladakhi butter-salt tea introduced
in
biodegradable,
recyclable
and
wonderfully disposable (although beautiful
enough to keep) clay cups in the CAB-all to promote cultural diversity, of
course ...
It's not that I'm belittling the efforts
of the campus 'minority' groups, it's just
I think it's wrong--that such emphasis
should be placed on the sml\llness of
n~bers or largeness of votes but maybe
I Just have a bigger bang-up about the
use of numbers since my elementary
school math class experiences, I don't
know.
It scares me to see a few people in
insecure minority positions (and I
acknowledge that unfair disadvantages are
very much there) lash out at what's
simplistically glossed over as an evil and
exploitive majority with the result of
many 'majority' members becoming
newly or increasingly hostile to entire
minority groupings.
Wars are never desired by all
members on each side but begin when
sides are created by a few. Evergreen as
'progressive,' 'liberal' and 'open' as it
claims to be, is fu1\ of sidys and-isms ...Are you a free thinking individual?
Are you politically correct? You're not
too conformist in holding the views of a
typical Greener, are you? But of course,
you must know and have to agree
that .. who says Evergreen is a liberal and
progressive Ivory Tower? Anyway,
environmentally conscious, elephantloving Greeners would never condone the
use of ivory, now ...would they?

Cartoon is not
funny
I am writing in response to Jeremy
Owen's cartoon which appeared in the
last issue of the CPJ [Vol. 20, Issue 24].
While I do not object to Mr. Owen's
right to print the cartoon, I do object to
the message it contains. Mr. Owen's
cartoon portrays three sperm on the ledge
of a building. A "female" egg inside the
building is crying. The egg is saying,
"Don't jump, don't jump! OK, OK, you
can fertilize me. .. If I interpreted the
cartoon correctly, the sperm were
threatening to commit suicide if not
allowed to "fertilize" the egg. Using
threats to get sex constitutes rape. It is
not funny.
Tina Cook
Cartoon
offensive
Jeremy Owen's comic strip obviously
represents a private joke between Andrew
Hamlin and himself, so fust I question
why was it published in a public paper?
A female egg, crying in fear,
pleading to a groups of mean looking
sperms not to jump at her all at
once... and then consenting to let them
"fertilize" her clearly constitutes rape to
me. Considering that being coerced into
having sex with someone is rape, and
that a high percentage of rapes occur
with more than one attacker present, what

Governance will not solve cultural differences
by Dante J. Driver
TESC encourages us 10 be authors of
change. Each of us, however, possess the
authority (as opposed to power) 10
change our environment only in as much
as such change does not injure others. If
every individual is born with the right 10
live, and the derivative rights 10
determine his or her own actions and
enjoy the results thereof, then each must
accept responsibility for his or her life,
actions, and the results thereof, so that
they do not impinge the equal rights of
others. If each of us complies with this,
justice will be done. Within this ethical
framework it's unjust 10 egress on
another's rights.
If these individual rights are
inalienable, then the just authority of
groups over their members must derive
by consent or complicity. Within this
framework the only objective political
classification is that which is indivisible,
and the only just and authorized use of
group power is to exact redress from
identifiable individuals for previous
aggressions against others. Any other
arbitrary
or
pluralist,
political
classification of, or use of power over the
individual is, except by his or her consent
or complicity, unjust within the context
of individual rights and inconsistent with
the
liberal conception of rights.
Individuals complicilOuS in such actions
Opinion
are, within the liberal context, themselves
party 10 an injustice.
.
The new Student Union, created an
anti-liberal student government which
apportions representation on the basis of
arbitrary, pluralist political classifications
under the auspices of "cultural caucuses."
This
scheme
prevents
equal
representation. It gives a straight; white,
secular, individual approximately one
fiftieth of the representation in the SU of
an individual of color.
But, isn't this affumative action? No!
The irony here is that affirmative action,
even as that term is used under the
"RIGHTS AND RESPONSmll.ITlES"
article of the amended SU Constitution, is
a liberal policy meant 10 remedy
discrimination on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, or national origin. The SU,
by contrast, denies equal representation
based on these criteria, but then employs
a pluralist conception of equality, e.g.
equality
of
suspect
political
classifications, to preserve appearances.
Before the amendment, any member of a
minority could vote at the SUo Now only
two representatives from each group may
do so. This arrangement is only
"affirmative" for a few representatives.
While caucuses may not officially be
"synonymous with student organizations
which serve similar constituencies, "
"selection of the represenlatives in the
spring of 1990 ' (was) initiated" by the
coordinators of such organizations (SU,2).
This disingenuous verbiage, and the frank
admissions of deceit and coen:ion in the
April 9 CPJ by Mark Sullivan, author of
the new constitution and member of "the
fony" who voted it in, suggests
something of a coup in the budgetary
interests of six student groups serving
"similar constituencies." Whi\.e I know
there are members of some of these
organizations who oppose the new
document, the appearance is bound to be
divisive.
A perusal of these organizations'
that
their
budgets
will
suggest
constituencies were not oppressed by the
fonner student government. While these
constituents have been injured by the
institutions, or habits of thought and
behavior, of sttaight, white, secular
society, that society is not a discrete
willful entity capable of exercising rights
except as embodied by the individuals
who compose its various apparatus. "The
fony" seek their turn in this capacity,
imputing the "public interest."
The new SU is not counterforce
against sttaight, white, secular society.
Student government has little if any
positive power, but even if it possessed
such power it could not fight racism with
it. While color, gender, and sexual
preference are objective characteristics,
our reaction 10 them is ideal, and
offensive ideas can only be combatted
with alternative ideas.
The present attempt 10 use government 10
achieve multicultural diversity saddens
me, for it suggests a failure of Evergreen
as a learning community.
The cult of activism does not
recognize that our community need not
be perpetually "guided," Students are
capable of ordering themselves day to
day through voluntary interaction, and of
achieving their interests through informal
channels. stUdent power in this regard is
considerable. It's no accident that TESC
was without governance for so long.
Political lethargy is natural where
individuals feel secure in their interests,
"reactionism" is equally natural where
individual interests are threatened. At
least where student governance is weak
or infonnal students can go about their
business secure in the knowledge that
changes, statements or policies are not
being made in their names absent their
consent.

Geothermal energy: an endless resource
by Jeremy Jiracek and Scott Ross
As population and industry grow,
the demand for energy increases. Much
of this energy is in the form of
elecuicity. At present. the 1lU\i0rity of the
world's electricity comes from fossil fuel
(coal, petroleum, etc.) plants. These fuels,
when burned, supply the heat needed lQ
generate steam which turns turbines 10
generate elecuicity. As these fossil fuels
are depleted a new source of heat will be
required. One of these sources is very
promising and already in use; geothermal
energy.
Geothermal energy, simply, is the
heat energy from the Earth. The Earth's
core is extremely hot (between 7000 and
9000 degrees Fahrenheit). Through
convection and conduction heat flows
from the core IOward the Earth's surface.
Of the little heat that actually approaches
the surface, most is trapped by the
Earth's crust. This crust is made up of
sections known as tectonic plates. These
plates are divided up inlO oceanic and
continental pieces. The oceanic plates are
thinner and more dense than the
continental plates.
Driven by convection currents in the
molten mantle (the next layer under the
crust), these plates collide with one
another. When an oceanic and a
continental plate collide the oceanic plate
is forced under the continental plate. This
is called a subduction wne. At these
subduction zones heat from the mantle
(hot intrusion) flows IOward the Earth's
surface. As it conducts through rock it
heats the rock. In a geothermal wne (or
reservoir) the heat flows inlO an area of
permeable rock which holds water. The
water is heated and, if heated enough,
turns 10 steam. A geothermal power plant
then uses this hot water or steam to turn
turbines and generate electricity.
The
three
most
commonly
encountered geothennal plants are the dry
steam plant, the flashed steam plant, and
the binary cycle plant. However, the
majority of the worlds electrical
generation capacity is from dry steam
fields such as those at the Geysers plant
Energy Topics
in California
..
In a dry steam plant steam is
brought 10 the surface by a series of
wells. After separating out rock debris
the steam is piped directly through a
collector and inlO turbines which in turn
drive generators. As the steam exits the
turbines it is condensed in a cooling
lOwer and then injected back inlO the
steam reservoir.
Hash steam plants extract steam
from super-heated water. Once the steam
is removed from the water it is used 10
run the turbines in the same manner as
the dry steam plants. The remaining
water and condensate' lire reinjected
The third type of plant is a binary
cycle plant. It uses secondary fluids such
as freons, isobutane, or isopentane 10
drive the turbines. These plants allow for
elecuical
generation
utilizing
low
temperature geothermal fluids.
In the binary cycle plant, the
geothermal fluid is pumped from the
production well through a heat exchanger,
where the secondary fluid is vaporized.
The geothermal fluids are then injected
back inlO the reservoir. The vaporized
secondary fluid is piped through the
turbines and finally condensed for reuse.
By maintaining the reservoir pressure of
the geothermal fluid, gas release is
eliminated.
Binary cycle plants can also be used
in conjunction with flashed steam plants.~
In such an arrangement the water that is
left after flashing is passed through a
binary cycle unit which exlracts
additional energy making for a more
efficient use of the resoun::e.
As we develop more advanced
technology, geothennal energy will supply
a higher percentage of our growing
energy needs. The heat supplied by the
Earth is virtually endless and if exlracted
in an efficient manner will provide an
excellent energy alternative for our future.

Mysterious cattle mutilations
by Chris Bader
For a few decades now, the United
States, especially the western regions,
have been plagued by mysterious cattle
mutilations.
In several hundred reported cases,
farmers have found their livestock
completely drained of blood and often
with several organs removed. These cuts
appear 10 have been made by precision
insbUments, thereby ruling out the
possibility that natural predalOrs are
killing the cattle.
Two main theories that "mutilation
investigators" throw around are, 1: The
mutilations are the work of a "satanic
cult" and 2: The mutilations are the work
of exlra-terresuials.
Washington State has had its share of
these bizarre deaths ...
For example, in March of 1977,
white lights were reported west of Everett
which seemed 10 be hovering in place.
The next night a rancher found one of
his
steer
severely
mutilated.
A
veterinarian supposedly claimed that he
"could not duplicate the mutilation with
any insbUments with which he was
familiar."
Meanwhile, in Parkland, Washington,
in 1975, about a dozen horses and dogs
ALL WAYS TRAVEL SERVICE, INC.
were severely muUlated within a "twosquare-mile rural area." Most had had
their sexual organs removed and Parkland
residents were so upset that a $5000
reward was offered for information about
the crimes.
Stranger yet, in December of 1975, a
farmer in Harrah, Washington was
driving home when he noticed several
'
cows running at the side of the road. He
then saw three strange figures standing in
a ditch, one of which jumped "15 feet"
into the middle of the road.
At this point the farmer also realized
that a large, oblong, "UFO" was hovering
over his car. Having his flll of weirdness,
the farmer quic1dy sped home and
reported his story.
So who is mutilating cattle in the
western states? Is it the work of evil
devil worshippers? Are aliens trying out
the local beef!
(Quotes are from "The Night
Mutilators" by Gene Dupiantier.)

JWH: No. Lyrics are for communication
and I want the most people as possible to
hear them. To me it's better that little
girls go around the house singin' "The
Devil In Me" then go around singin'
"Electric Youth". "Electric Youth" is a
lie, it's like reading USA Todoy. But at
least it represents an alternate point of
view. If one of my songs gets popular,
that'll be the best thing that could
happen. I don't know how I could cope
with it personally, but I'd be a fool to
deny that it wouldn't be a good thing.
CPJ: People classify you as folk. What
are your influences and do you mind
comparison to them?
JWH: People compare me to Elvis
Costello which makes me proud because
he's a great song writer.
Nobody
compares me unfavorably, I mean no one
says 'This guy is crap, Elvis was great' .
They say this guy is good and it's a bit
like Elvis Costello. Having said that I
don't think I'm anything like him. I
respect the need to do it, but I don't fmd
Elvis Costello particularly informative.
What people miss out on is that it may
be a bit folky, but it's very poppy. I
really like Abba, but whenever I try to
write "Knowing Me, Knowing You" ..."
"Here Comes The Groom", the title track,
was meant to be "Knowing Me, Knowing
You" or "The Name Of The Game", but
it just came out wrong. It may have
come out for the better, but I meant it to
sound like an Abba song. But I can't
write like that, I've got to be realistic
about what I can and can't do. I can't
write melodies like that, but I do want to
make enlightened pop music.
CPJ: What do you expect or hope for
down the line?
JWH: I hope I'll be able to make my
records very cheaply in a way that I
want to make them and for people to
enjoy it Music doesn't mean anything to
people any more except money. What I
expect will happen in ten years time is
that I'll be a rock journalist, or a traffic
warden or I'll be in .ladies underwear.
Well, if Harding keeps putting out
records equal in quality to Here Comes
The Groom, and pop radio overcomes its
infatuation with Debbie Gibsons (I realize
that might be asking a lot, so keep your
fmgers crossed and, just in case, throw
w0l!len's underwear on stage if you
decIde to get that crazy) then I think you
can expect to see Wes doing well in the
future. Until then you can see him open
for Michelle Shocked at The Paramount
on May 23rd. If you can't make it to
the show, keep your ears peeled, because
there is an outside chance that he'll play
live on KAOS the day of the show.

was a described as a wonderfully isolated
area to sunbathe in the nude."
Sergeant Eddy noted that in addition
to attracting innocent persons who just
want to get a good tan, the beach "is
bringing in some of the wrong types of
people."
Russell feels that the presence of
nude sunbathers, combined with the
heavily wooded area surrounding the
beach and meadow, creates a potentially
dangerous situation for visitors to the.
area.
"It's fairly remote out there (on the
beach trail), with a lot of woods and
dense shrubbery. It would not be difficult
for someone to hide out in this type of
terrain" he explained,
Russell reports that while security has
successfully apprehended and prosecuted
suspects involved in indecent exposure
attacks occurring on Evergreen's main
campus, suspects in the beach trail
incidents have been particularly elusive.
Eddy attributes the elusiveness of the
beach trail suspects to the "remote
terrain" described by Russell.
"The location of the beach and
meadow in relation to the college makes
it difficult for officers to access the scene
of these attacks" he stated. "We have to
park our patrol cars in F-lot, at the top
of the trail, and run to where the
incidents occur. By that time, the suspect
has disappeared."
The location of the attacks is not the
only problem for security, however.
According to Eddy, the college is at a
disadvantage because only two security
officers are on duty during the day and
swing shifts, when most of the beach
trail incidents have occurred. The two
officers working these busy shifts must
scramble to respond to each of the
various calls received during the
afternoon and evening. This, he feels,
lengthens the officers' response time to
all incidents, including those along the
beach trail.
Chief Russell anticipates changes
within the security force to help alleviate
the problems along the beach trail.
"We're looking at ways to rearrange
the staff schedule so that we have
officers available to handle those types of
si tuations" he stated.
His
plans
include
increased
surveillance patrols along the trail, with
more emphasis placed on the specific
duty of watching that area of the campus.
"We'd like to have a remote officer,
on foot, positioned down along the beach
trail away from a vehicle" Russell stated.
According to Eddy, outside police
forces could do little to help the situation.
He says that the Thurston County officers
are spread thinly through the area.
"The Thurston County police cover
a large jurisdiction" he explained. "Their
response time to an incident here would
be at least 15-20 minutes."
While campus security is plagued by
understaffmg and slow response times to
the beach trail incidents, the department
attempts to help in other ways. The most
visible way is by infonning Evergreen
students and faculty about danger in the
area.
Last year a warning sign was placed
in F-lot at the head of the beach trail.
The sign, which stated that the trail had
been the site of violent attacks against
women, was destroyed by gunfIre earlier
this year.
News of the incidents is distributed
in other ways. "After an attack, we try to
put oul information on the suspects as
soon as possible" said Russell. "We do
this by working with Information
Services, who post news releases
throughout the campus which describe
each exposure incident."
These flyers can be found on doors
and bulletin boards around the college
and student housing area in the days
following an attack.
Accounts of these attacks are not
published in The Olympian.
Evergreen students are also making
efforts to overcome the situation. On
April 9, fIve days after the ftrSt attack of
thie spring, a group of more than fifty
men and women gathered in front of the
CAB building to discuss the incidents.
Following the brief forum, the group
walked down the beach trail in a show of
strength and unity. An important message
was sent out during this event, a message
that members of the Evergreen
community do not want to walk in fear.
One stud(fnt, Ellen Hinchcliffe,
expressed sadness that students might not
be able to enjoy the beauty of the beach
trail without fearing for their safety.
"I just started to love the woods"
she told the group, "But now, I'm afraid
of them."
When asked for their opinions of
how campus security has handled the
situation, one unidentifIed woman in the
group answered angrily, "1 don't think
security gives a fuck about the situation.
It helps them look: weaker, and makes
people sympathetic to their need for
guns."
"That is ridiculous" responded Chief
Russell, when told of the allegation.
According to Russell, Evergreen's
administration has been working with
campus security to eliminate the attacks.
He reported the college is considering the
installation of emergency telephones
along the beach trail to aid in the
reporting of assaults or suspicious
individuals. Also, the administration may
create an additional security offICer
position
to
help strengthen the
understaffed department
Russell described another tactic being
used 10 prevent attacks. "During the
summer, we have enlisied volunteers to
monitor the beach and meadow areas by
using two-way radios to report any
suspicious individuals. Many of the
volunteers are people from outside of the
community who are concerned about
what is happening here on the beach."
Other organizations at the college are
responding to the attacks. The Women's
Center, the Women's Clinic, the Women
of Color Coalition, Counseling Services,
and the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Persons
Resource Center encourage students and
faculty to inquire about infonnation and
counseling on safety and self-defense.
Russell offered a few suggestions to
help avoid problems along the beach trail
or other areas of the college.
Always travel around campus in
groups of two or moce, avoid contact
with strangers or suspicious looking
individuals, and use common sense."

student and conlribwor 10 the CPJ.

views with my public identity I would be
shunned. Since then I see that to be an
accomplice to the act of privatizing what
may be controversial is to perpetuate the
moral climate that arrests challenges to
reactionary assumptions around cultural
and racial issues. I don't want to do that.
I will take my lumps,
I hope that others who are concerned
about the discourse around these issues
will participate in the upcoming
discussions of the draft of the Strategic
Planning Statement on Multicultural
Diversity, and in Racism Awareness Day.
Some astute observers have noted
recently that we need to patiently and
carefully ask the question, what do we
mean when we use the word
'multiculturalism '7 Then we need to
listen to and consider carefully the
answers.
As long as we continue to hope that
cultural virtue will annihilate th~ vices
racism, the fruits of our commitment to
cultural diversity will be at best, as a
recent New York Times MagaziM
columnist said, a booby prize for the
victims of racial oppression. Racism
awareness and multicultural diversity are
two different things, and two different
kinds of things. Let's concentrate on
both of these important commitments in
ways that facilitate discussion rather than
silence, and that encourage public
ownership of ones views, rather than
anonymity.
