Resolute joins
the Evergreen
fleet
SenaLOr Dan Evans, along with a
Navy captain who trained midshipmen
and the man who restored the Resolute,
highlight the Recommissioning Ceremony
commemorating this 44-foot yawl's
transition into Evergreen's service.
The hour-long ceremony that begins
at noon, Friday, April 20 at Olympia's
Percival Landing, marks the beginning of
a new era for a boat built in 1939 by the
Bill Luders Boat yard to teach Navy
midshipmen to sail at Annapolis. This
craft's next mission is grounded in liberal
arts and sciences education.
Taken from service in the 50s with
the advent of fiberglass boats, the
Resolute was purchased from Navy
surplus in 1978 by Evergreen. Now, after
thousands of hours of volunteer
restoration work, the yawl is ready to
sail. The Resolute will help faculty teach
students learning oceanography, the
history of Anglo-Saxon discovery of the
Puget Sound, navigation, math, sailing
and more, as part of Evergreen's
academic programs.
For the college and the Resolute, the
Recommissioning Ceremony program
reads like a segment of "This is Your
Life."
Ted Brewer is a wooden boat builder
who apprenticed with Luders, where the
Resolute was originally built He'll talk
about Luders' boat yard and the place
that yawls like the Resolute hold in the
history of ship design. Larry Gudbranson
is a retired captain of the U.S. Navy who
will talk about his experience training
Annapolis Naval Academy midshipmen LO
sail on a fleet of more than 10 yawls like
the Resolute. Don Fassett is a retired
mechanical engineer who invested
thousands of hours refurbishing the
Resolute for Evergreen.
Charles McCann, Evergreen's frrst
president, Evans, who served Evergreen
more than seven years, and Joseph
Olander, current president, will speak and
take part in the ceremony. Also,
Evergreen faculty members whose
academic programs will use the Resolute
will share their plans, and their
excitement, for the new addition LO

Resolute
(Reprinted from GreenerScene)
When Don Fassett first met the
Resolute, it was a stripped down empty
shell, a vague reminder of the sleek 44foot yawl that once sailed out of
Annapolis to train Navy midshipmen.
Rotting, battered, and empty, she was
purchased out of Navy surplus in 1978
by Evergreen.
First thing Fassett, a retired
mechanical engineer, did was help fix her
frame.
" Animals have ribs--boats have

were loose, so we pulled out some 3,000
screws and put new ones in.

The refurbishing effort was launched
at a feverish pace beginning, according to
Fassett's log, in September of 1982. An
averaae of five crew were paid to work
five-day weeks to get the Resolute into
shipshape. But after about 18 months the
money dried up.
"Being retired, I don't have to work.
I lOOk a look at her and said, 'She's a
good lookin' boat and I want to sail on
her,'" says Fassett.

six-hour days a week, he's done most of
the refurbishing since. Finally, the

for supporting Evergreen thmllgh this
year's budget process. The budget raises
Evergreen's enrollment lid by 50 fulltime equivalent students. The growth will
be absorbed in the Teacher Education
program and provides resources to fund
the MIT program.
Groundwork for the Master in
Teaching (MIT) Program was laid in the
mid-1980s, with the national release of
the Carnegie and Holmes reports that said
beginning teachers should hold master's
degrees
before
they
stan
their
professional careers.
John Parker, director of Teacher
Education at Evergreen, is recruiting
students for the first MIT class that
begins in September.
In 1987, Washington's Legislature
required the State Board of Education
(SBE) to work cooperatively with the
Higher Education Coordinating Board
(HECB) to implement rules for moving
toward master's level teacher preparation
programs at the state's four-year
institutions. Previously, no MIT programs
existed in Washington. Three private
colleges in Washington will also begin
offering MIT programs in September.
"Developing this program has been a
major achievement We are convinced
that the demands of public school
teaching call for the same kind of
graduate intensity of preparation as do
our sister professions of law, medicine
and clergy; says Parker. "Our Master in
Teaching program provides a very
intensive experience, and we are proud
of the fact that we are the fIrSt public
institution in Washington 10 offer it."
The program is designed to appeal
not only to those with a new bachelor's
degree, but also to those who are looking
to change careers and follow a calling to
teach. The median age of students
enrolled in Evergreen's program is
expected to be in the early to mid 30s.

Evergreen is the fIrSt public
institution that has designed a program
in response to the rules and guidelines
the SBE and HECB developed. The
HECB approved Evergreen's program by
unanimous vote in November, 1989. In
February, 1989, an independent reviewer
from the National Council on the
Accreditation of Teacher Education
praised Evergreen's graduate program
design as exemplary. In November 1989,
a visiting accreditation team from the

tIadition to change the name of a boat.

the Resolute, and to students in
Evergreen's marine programs," he says.
The Resolute will be the dorm ship
for the college's 38-foot SeawulfJ, a
sturdy, workho!se vessel complete with
a small labonitory. The boats will take
Core Programs into the Poget Sound
every few years, and serve marine
biology and oceanography students at
other times.
Fassett's contribution to Evergreen
goes way back:. Many students have
sailed on his personal boat for academic
missions alongside the SeawuljJ. After the
Reso(ute is in service, Fassett and his
boat will still pitch in. He's become part
of Evergreen's seafaring tradition.
"I retired from work in 1975 and
came over 10 Evergreen where Pete
Sinclair was working on the Seawulff and
he said, 'what would you like to do?' I
said I'd like to give him about an hour a
week," Fassett chuckles.

Northwest Association of Schools and
Colleges strongly recommended the
graduate progr.un be put into place.
Prerequisites to enroll in Evergreen's
MIT Program include a bachelor of arts
or science with strong liberal arts breadth
and depth as a prerequisite. In common
with all programs at Evergreen, the MIT
program
will
combine
academic
disciplines into one program that is taught
by a team of three or four faculty.
Studies will include heavy emphases on
philosophy,
history,
multicultural
education, research and field experience.
"Because people entering this
program will have a high level of
academic and working experience, there
will be a greater intensity within the
learning community that students will be
a part of for the two years they're
enrolled in the program," says Parker.
Applications for the 45 openings in
Evergreen's MIT program are now being
accepted. Classes begin in September.
Undergraduate teacher education will
continue on Evergreen's campus for two
more years, under the joint program with
Western Washington University. However,
Fall Quarter of 1990 will be the last year
new students will be accepted into the
undergraduate program.
When the Seawulff was launched,
Fassett jumped ship to work on the
Resolute. All told, he figures he's put
over 5,000 hours into the Resolute alone.
There's a new rudder, complete with
a hole to acccmmodate a propeller for
the previously engine-less boat. Fassett
built the framework to support the
engine, 100. He fabricated new gas and
water tanks. For the interior, he installed
all new bulkheads (walls), a head
(bathroom) and even a galley (kitchen),
according to the design of Ted Brewer,
who worked for Luders, the company that
originally built the hoot. The new
woodwork is perfectly smooth and rich.
One brass porthole was missing .
"Someone walked away with it, so
we casted a new one in the Lab Annex
using the original as a paUern," he says.
The boat's been recaulked, has a
new deck and even a new cabin roof.
"Yeah. We even had LO make special
brass nuts to hold on the cleats. We had
to make lots of fancy hardware," says
Fassett.
So, how will it feel to fmally see
the Resolute afloat?
"I don't know," he says. "It's going
to be strange. I'll get used to it"

Miller also pointed out that
Sequallitchew Creek and the salt marsh
created by the estuary are traditional
fishing spots for the Nisqually tribe, who
depend on the area for commercial
fishing. Most of their land was already
destroyed by Burlington/Northern when
the company put in their railroads by the
associated with urbanization we are
starting to see out there."
Both Hesselbart and Miller expressed
great concern over the fact that
motorboats and rafts are legal in the
Nisqually River.
"The wildlife just won't tolerate that high
level of use," said Hesselbart. "The
wildlife refuge is nrst, recreation is
second."
Hesselbart called Lone Star's claims
of being environmentally sensiUve
"propaganda." Lone Star has said they
have not found any rare plants or animals
in their leased property, but Hesselbart
claims to have seen bald eagle nests
where they are planning on developing.
"Someone must consider carrying

as well. If we are going to err, we
should err in favor of the wildlife,"
Hesselbart remarked.

In addition to the two housing

Company has leased a 370-acre plot of
land from Weyerhauser near Dupont,
about two miles northeast of the refuge.
The plan is to move their 35 to 40

mining facility in Steilacoom to the new
location near the refuge.
The new mine,
the Pioneer

Least cost power planning provides energy at least cost
by Steve Bates
Least cost powee planning is still a
fairly new idea among people in the
powee industry today. Almost all
consumers of electticity have no idea
what this Least Cost Powee Planning
actually is, does, or represents. It is
actually a consumee oriented process of
setting electrical rates. The goal is to
create electrical rates at the least cost to
the consumer by keeping the rates at a
level that is fair. In the past, higher rates
were sometimes the result of costs that
were not the consumers responsibility.
One example of this was the mothballing
of several nuclear powee plants by the
Washington Public Powee Supply System,
or better known as WPPSS(whoops).
After the plants were mothballed and
it came time to sel1le debts incurred from
these plants, the general idea was to flip
the bill to the consumer and hope they
would not be any wiser of it It did not
work and consumers were outraged by it.
Years latec attempts were made at
powee planning. After the mishandling of
the WPPSS projects consumers became
more aware of how unfairly they could
be billed. Least-cost power planning is a
process that is being used to charge
consumers for electricity and added costs
that are only brought on by those
consumers and thus help eliminate any
unfair practices which could bill you for
costs that your usage has not incurred.
Least-cost power planning also aids in
decision making processes about ways in
which you might obtain power through
other means; ie, hydro, coal, geothermal,
solar power or other sources. To simply
state this, whichever is cheaper is the one
that would be best served through leastcost power planning.
However, in
past planning, this method did not take
into account environmental degradation
from power production. Coal plants have
always been known as a fairly cheap way
of obtaining power, but they do a great
deal of environmental damage in the
process.
Recently, new planning techniques
have began to include environmental
damage into the cost of power from those
plants that do environmental damage.
This method will raise the cost of power
from those types of plants, but it will
better reflect the actual cost and make
least-cost powee planning more accurate.
Student Survey Results
One other example could be
conservation. Conservation of electricity
can be looked at as an added source of
electricity and not necessarily as a
savings. If the cost of the savings is low,
and the energy savings of power high, it
may very well be a good form of power
for least-cost power planning.
From the previous examples it is clear
that least-cost power planning is simply
a way of providing the consumer
electricity at the lowest possible cost

Tidal power is cheap, efficient, and under-utilized
by Karlito
Bonnevie and
Rob
Cockerham
Tidal power is produced by
harnessing gravitational forces exected by
the sun and the moon on the earth's
oceans. These forces cause a vertical rise
and fall of ocean watec, known as a tidal
range which in tum causes a horizontal
flow. In the United States this flow could
be harnessed to produce 1500 mega-watts
(MW), which would save 23 million
barrels of oil each year.
Every 24 hours and 50 minutes the
moon's gravitational effect creates two
high tides and two low tides. Thus a tidal
plant can have a maximum of four
energy production periods within this
time interval. The amount of energy for
a given tidal site is proportional to the
square of the tidal range. Since the tidal
range is the dominant factor, it would be
preferable to choose a three-meter tidal
range site because it will generate nine
times as much powee as one-meter range.
The main problem with tidal power
is that most coastal areas have relatively
small tidal ranges (below three meters¥
There are currently nine potential sites in
the world suitable for the development of
tidal power, four of which are located in
North America: Cook Inlet, Alaska; Puget
Sound, Washington; Passamaquoddy,
Maine; and the Bay of Fundy, Canada.
Of the three opecating tidal plants in the
world, only one is in North America. It
is located at Annapolis Royal on the
Canadian side of the Bay of Fundy and
produces 18 MW of power. The othec
two working plants are at La Rance,
France which produces 160 MW and
Kislogrub, U.S.S.R. which produces 1.8
MW.
Some disadvantages of tidal power
are the disruption of intertidal ecosystems
and fish migrations, and a decrease in
salinity which affects water temperature.
Transmission of electricity can also be a
problem due to the distance between the

energy. However, vast areas of land are
required to collect and consolidate the
sun's already diffuse eneegy, risking
expansive environmental damage.
The basic bio-mechanics of a fuel
farm is the photosynthetic collection of
sun light in plants. In photosynthesis
chlorophyll in living plant tissue uses
sunlight to strip the oxygen from carbon
dioxide molecules and reforms the carbon
to make sugars and starches that are
stored in the plant tissue. In this process
between .5 and 7 percent of the sun's
energy is captured and stored. All that is
then needed to reclaim this stored
chemical potential energy is to collect the
plant tissue and recombine it with
oxygen.
Once the dry plant matter (containing
7,500 btu/lb) is collected there is a

The advantages, however, are quite
impressive. There are absolutely no
opecational fuel costs and no emissions
of gases which contribute to the
greenhouse effect. With no fuel costs,
energy produced from this resource will
not increase but decrease as the initial
capital investment is repaid. Since the
price of nonrenewable fuels will
inevitably rise, tidal power should have
exceptional potential.

Nicaraguan filntntaker Moises Rodrequez
talks about revolution and film
by Sean J. Starke and Scot Wheat
Moises Rodrequez, a Nicaraguan mm
director, spoke at the Evergreen campus
on Tuesday, March 27. We were given
the oppornmity 10 interview him on his
. work, his experiences in Nicaragua, and
on some of the current issues facing the
Nicaraguan people. His translator was
Ruth Warner, an edilOr for the
International edition of Barricada-the
official newspaper of the Sandanista
party.
The following are excerpts from the
interview:
Q: Could you explain t~ role film
played in portraying the revolution to the
international community?
Rodrequez: As part of the strategy
to strengthen the struggle of the FSLN
(Sandanista party) and its information
aspect. the FSLN created a publicity arm
including film-making. This is in light
of the distortion of the struggle in
Nicaragua by the transnational media So
the FSLN created a small film structure
within its ranks. The group of film
makers included Bolivians, Colombians,
Puerto Ricans, Peruvians, Argentineans,
Mexicans and two Nicaraguans: because
the needs were so quick and the situation
was happening so quickly with the war
that there wasn't time 10 train totally new
people in film-making, and because it
was so strange 10 see a Nicaraguan
filming when most of the Nicaraguans
were taking up weapons instead.
We were living along with the
soldiers and in the same conditions, with
the disadvantage that we couldn't shoot
back. The goal we had was to supply
footage from inside Nicaragua during the
struggle to Latin American television
stations, so that we would have some
influence on the kind of material that was
So, we
coming out of Nicaragua.
provided the kind of footage that we
were interested in being publicized.
There were certain limitations to other
journalists in those war areas, so they
had to use the materials we gave them.
Q: SO, were you able to get much
footage out of Nicaragua during tM war?
Rodrequez: Yes, mostly to Mexico
and some to U.S. television stations and
to solidarity committees.
Solidarity
committees were one of our main
channels of distribution.
Q: Could you explain the role film
played within post revolutionary
Nicaragua?
Rodrequez: Immediately after the
triumph, we did a lot with distribution
inside the country, 10 places where films
have never been seen. By that time we
were able 10 complete four or five pieces.
The first was a collage of the year 1979
after the triumph of the revolution. Then
we did another on the nationalization of
the mines. Another film we did was
based on the formation of the new army.
We created what we call mobile
cinemas. People would take the projectors
in a car, on a bike or in a canoe-however they could get around. They
Interview
would set up the screen in a community
and show a 16mm film. In this way we
went into communities where people had
never seen films before. We would show
a lot of classical films, like Chaplin-comedies and stuff--as well as films with
more of a social content; films about the
revolution in Cuba, the Soviet Union,
about what happened in Chile, about U.S.
Indians, about the struggle of the miners
in the United States and about the civil
rights movement in the United States.
During that same period, the [U.S.]
war against Nicaragua was just beginning.
The leadership had an idea of what was
coming, so they tried to prepare people
psychologically for the war that was
ahead. The productions we did changed
as the demands changed. The initial
romantic view of what films should be
within a revolutionary process didn't get
totally left behind, but it got changed and
transformed into other creative processes.
That is when we began to focus on short
documentaries and fiction fIlms.
The point came to where the
government could no longer sustain the
subsidies for the sector of artists and of
cultural workers, so a lot of those
subsidies were cut back.
In the
beginning it w~ a very beautiful project
that we had, not only film but the whole
cultural work of the revolution. The
creation of the ministry of culture was
very unique in Latin America. The result
was a very broad artistic movement with
very free expression. It was reduced to
a certain extent as subsidies had to be
cut--because of the war situation. But
we defmitely learned a lot from the
experience.
People continued to work, even
without government resources. A lot of
us were suddenly in the street, we were
unemployed.
All of us wanted to
continue working for the revolution. We
did not want to feel that we had been
totally destroyed because we did not have
as much government suppon.
In away, people's artistic creativity
was strengthened during that period.
When resources are scarce, people look
for better quality. As a result, in the

there has been less film
production nationally, but I think the
quality has improved. I think we are
beginning to see the seeds of what could
become mature film production in
Nicaragua.
I think the capaCity to create flIms is
very large, even · though our national
subsidies may be in question [due to the
UNO electoral victory]. Because films do
not have to be high budget at all. You
need some technical resources, and a lot
of creativity and things can be done.
Q: What, if any, possibilities do U.S.
film maUrs have in working with
Nicaraguan film makers?
Rodrequez: I think we have always
been open to working with other people
to enrich our own experiences and
collaborating on different projects-as
long as those projects are not used as
part of the aggression against our
country. I think that has been a very
important factor in our activities as fIlm
makers. We are a community of people
who are basically working to support the
revolution.
It seems like people in
past few years,
ihe government has
been lost but the baSis
and the foundation of
the revolution has not
been altered."
Nicaragua would be open to some type
of an exchange.
Q: What do you see as the future role
of the
in Nicaragua? Can the U.S.
play some positive role?
Rodrequez: I think that, in the past
ten years, the U.S. has had ample
opportunity to play a more positive role
in Nicaragua--and they haven't done so.
Nicaragua has wanted to have good
relations with the United States, .but the
U.S. has continued to carry out its war
against Nicaragua.
In fact. Nicaragua was put in the
position of having to go to the World
Court to sue the United States for
damages caused by the U.S. instigated
war. It was the first time the United
States was accused like that, and they
lost the case. According to the ruling,
the U.S. should indemnify Nicaragua for
u.s.
over 12 billion dollars. But right now
they are only offering 300 million, so it
doesn't look like that twelve billion is
forthcoming.
In the past ten years U.S. policy has
been totally negative towards the
Nicaraguan people and has been IOtally
damaging. It has been open interference
which has even gone to the point of
covering up contra assassinations of U.S.
citizens. The U.S. has been destroying
the economy and all the social structures
of the country. What we foresee in Lite
future is more interference on the part of
the U.S ..
I think it is important that the FSLN
remain united and strong to somehow
hold back the negative impact that
interference might have. That implies
defending from below--as Daniel Ortega
says--all of the basic premises of the
revolution. The revolution is now intact.
The government has been lost but the
basis ami the foundation of the revolution
have not been altered. And we are not
going to allow the erosion of these
foundations. I think even people who
voted for UNO are aware of that.
lt will be interesting to see what
happens in the next few years, so keep
an eye out for what UNO does. They
will probably try to divide public opinion
and portray the Sandanistas as corrupt or
that they mismanaged the country. With
the support of the U.S. they will try to
do as much as they can to degrade the
Sandanistas.
Q: What advice would you give to
solidarity groups in the United States in
regards to supporting the Nicaraguan
people?
Rodrequez: I think there is a lot of
work to be done by the solidarity
movement. We think solidarity work
should continue as it has. Even though
the FSLN is no longer controlling the
executive branch, there are still a lot of
good activities that will continue, and we
will need a lot of support from abroad.
Its going to mean that there will be more
difficulties in getting aid through. Yet,
through creativity, a lot of things can be
done.

Roofponds: two feet of water on the roof?
by David Keleher
Water on buildings is a great way to
utilize the sun's energy for heating and
cooling. In addition to its abundance,
water absorbs and slOres heat well, better
even than asphalL 'Also, because the roof
of a building is normally the largest area
exposed to the sun, roof ponds make
perfect sense. They can be designed so
that the water, commonly enclosed in
plastic bags like water beds, absorbs or .
dissipates heat, depending on whether
heating or cooling is desired.
For· winter heating, the ponds are
exposed to collect sunlight during the day
and then covered with insulation panels
to retain the heat and radiate it into the
home during the night. For swnmer
cooling, the water is shielded from the
sun and heat, and the panels are removed
at night to allow heat to radiate to the
cool night sky.
By admitting light and trapping
infrared rays, clear plastic traps heat in
the water much like a greenhouse.
Positioned above the water, clear inflated better summer cooling by merely

roof pond could theoretically collect more
heat, but to contain water at a slant
would be ridiculously expensive. And so,
it makes sense to simply use panels
(which can double as the insulative
covers) to reflect additional energy into
the system.
Because the sun is low in the winter,
a reflector can help to increase the
absorption of the sun's rays, improving
its usefulness in northern climates. Just
as ordinary solar collectors are commonly
sloped to improve solar gain, sloping a
Although pouring water onlO houses

work especially well in dry climates
where night temperatures tend 10 fall far
below the day range.
In the most
famous example is a prototype home in
Atascadero, California. There, a roof
pond operated with a 63% efficiency
rating, which amply supplied 100% of the
home's heating and cooling requirements.
Furthermore, because it primarily heats
the building through radiative transfer, it
warms objects and people rather than the
air, and so, much like the sun, is a more
sensible heat source.

Energy Book in the TESC Library.

Buy Recycled and protect resources
by Amanda McCloskey
Recendy, I received a recycled paper
catalog, and started thinking about how
much paper I use as a student Earthcare
opens its catalog by saying: "We promote
recycling because it reduces waste, saves
energy, and protects resources." Just how
much energy does using recycled paper
save?
Some information can be found in
Earthcare's pamphlet, "Facts About
Recycled Paper." ''The energy required
to produce a ton of paper from virgin
wood pulp is 16,320 KWH compared to
5,919 KWH for producing a ton of paper
from waste paper." 1bis is an energy
savings of 64%1 As America is the
largest consumer of paper in the world
-67 million tons a year--if even half of
our national use was recycled paper, 335
trillioo KWH could be saved. 1bis is
equivalent to 30 Trojan nuclear power
planlsl
How do we cOnsume this much
papet1 A large part is packaging. A
pamp.Iet by the Environmental Protection
Agetv;y states: "Nearly half the paper we
now use is in the fonn of packaging."
And most of this paper is thrown away.
For example, 38% of the average
household garbage is paper.
Some m<re facts from Earthcare,
about paper and garbage:
1) "Paper makes up nearly 113 of
municipal solid waste by weight and well
ovez III by volwne.·
2) "Disposal of solid waste is the
nation's
third
largest
domestic
expenditure. "
3) !Americans spend $6 billion
annually to collect and dispose of our
trash."
.
Thus, using recycled paper would
not only save energy, but also solid waste
costs, and could also make money
through a new recycled paper industry.
A
few
further
considerations:
AccoIding to Worldwatch, paper pmducts
use about 1/3 of the world's annual wood
harvest. "Paper made from wastepaper
instead of virgin wood requires 61 % less
water, and results in 70% fewer air
pollutants. . .and 35% less water pollution."
Using recycled paper also saves trees.
Some IIOIImlS said it takes 17 trees to
make one ton of paper, and over 500,000
trees each Sunday for the Sunday
newspaper' across America. In addition,
the making of recycled paper, especially
minimum impact paper, which skips the
bleaching steps of paper making,
produces less dioxins than virgin paper.
So why aren't we all using recycled
papeI1 The U.S. leads the world in
exporting wastepaper to countries such as
South Korea and Canada, yet it's hard 10

recommends that individual and bulk
users use recycled paper, that students
"ask for recycled writing paper, paper
towels, construction paper, and typing
paper." (Add computer paper and lOilet
paper.) Earthcare explains that "the
greatest challenge for recycling centers
today is fmding a market for collected
waste. By purchasing products made of
recycled paper, you are helping support
and expand the market for waste paper."

Hall educates TESC
by Darrell W. Riley
White people can't understand what
it is to be black. They don't understand
the subtleties of the daily existence of a
black person, the racism, the discussions
that black people engage in, etc.
by Jon Epstein
In 1962 my father purchased a home
in Great Neck, New York. I was only
five years old but I still remember our
move to Long Island. The house had a
full basement with three large rooms. On
the main floor we had a large kitchen
with a pantry, a large dining room with
a liquor cabinet, a large living room, a
large study, my parents bedroom, which
was kind of small, and a good sized
~m.ThemrunfloorweMdanoth~
bathroom and three bedrooms for us kids.
My bedroom was small but my brother
and sister lived like kings! The house
was located on 3/4 acre of land and we
had an old two car garage with a second
floor that was unfinished.
What would you expect to pay for a
piece of property like this today? I
estimate that the home, where I grew up
in New York, would sell for no less than
$150,000. In 1962 my father took out a
mortgage on the house for $25,000. In
1962 my father was a self-employed
comedian and he made about $18,000 a
year. My mother stayed at home to take
care of the three .children. Were we rich?
Was this the income of the rich Jews that
owned all the banks and were taking over
the world? I have never felt rich. I have
always considered myself a member of
that amorphous "middle class." This is
the class that exists to protect the ruling
class from the poor.
In 1990 I, like my fath~, am selfemployed. Some people think I am also
a comedian. I make less than $12,000 a
year. Unlike my father, I do not have
three children and a wife. However, I
often wonder how much money I would
have to make to live like my father in
1962. Most of my friends who have
developed "careers" over the years are
making between 30 to 4S thousand
dollars a year. If I was making
$45,000.00 a year would I have the same
standard of living that my father had in
the sixties? Hardly!
I think the salary would have to be
closer to $100,000_00 for me to
experience the wealth my parents had in
1962. What I am trying to point out is
that putting inflation aside, we are living
in a time of economic decline.
A statistician could find data to
support my hypotheses
that the
opportunity for white males to make
$18,000 in 1962 was much higher that
the opportunity for white males to make
$ 100,000 in 1990. Our standard of living
is on the decline. I have lots of friends
who raise families today on $30,000
salaries. But things are different. In most
families both parents have jobs. The
homes people live in are smaller on
smaller lots. These days a college
education is no guarantee of a
meaningful, high-paying career. This is
an American myth.
Keep this in mind as you move
through this land of freedom and
opportuni ty.
Eppo is an Evergreen fossil. srudent.
and hosts a radio show on KAOS-FM
called "Mouthing Off·... yeah I know
Ihat'S an old lag but Eppo likes it.
However, some aspects of black life
and culture are obvious to anyone who
cares to look. When I turn on black radio
and hear Army and Alcohol ads it
doesn't take the subtlety of living the
black experience to understand that there
are issues of advertising in the black
community. The issue is particularly
intense because of the high mortality rate
of black men, caused by excesses the
advertisers encourage.
These are issues of national concern.
They are also issues of local concern to
black neighborhoods. They should
concern Americans .across the nation, on
every level, of every race.
Here in Olympia we are isolated
from much that happens, particularly in
the black community. Issues that are
dWly events to people of Tacoma and
Seattle are ignored in Olympia for lack
of information.
While I was editor of the CPJ it was
my great fortune to learn of one resource
of information about issues affecting the
black community, Carol Hall's columns.
She covered black issues without payor
any other form of recompense.
Because of Ms_ Hall's columns white
Evergreener's sometimes knew more of
what is happening in the national black
communities than many blacks in Seattle.
Because of her columns, other points of
view on many issues were explored on a
campus notorious for its one-sided view
of issues.
I've been accused of being racist
because I didn't know Ms. Hall was
white when I accepted her articles. Nor
did I bother to inform the new editors of
her race. Now I know. I don't care. She
addresses issues that need to be
addressed, not only for the education of
black people but for the education of
everyone. It's absurd to think because she
is white she doesn't have anything
important to say about black issues. She
may not understand the subtleties of
black life, but she gets !he main points
right.
Most "black" issues aren't black at
all. "Black" issues effect everyone, of
whatever race. Blacks are usually the
forerunners of problems which strike
American society.

Are they, for instance, writing about
it for the paper, one of two campuswide,
community-wide
media
at
Evergreen? Not one time during my
tenure did we get an article from
UMOJA about the issues of racism at
Evergreen, or in a broader context.
Are they changing perceptions and
opinions? I went to a meeting with
UMOJA members where they argued that
no white people should be allowed in
their meetings because whites would mess
up the discussion. Does that mean that
whites might learn about blacks? Or that
blacks would be jolted out of their
comfortable complacency on this campus
to educate people about the issues of
racism at Evergreen, like the lack of
sports?
Is UMOJA a student group, or a
black social club? If it's solely a black
social club, they should stop accepting
student money and move off the school
campus.
State
law
prohibits
discrimination, and exclusion by race is
discrimination.
There is a lot of hypocrisy in the
attitudes of people of color on this
campus. I hate to even mention the
number of people of color at Evergreen
who Mve mixed children, white parents,
or are otherwise directly emotionally
involved with white people. For instance,
there is one student of color who goes
around proclaiming her identity as an
QPpressed minority. Her fathe~ is G~an .
Was she cloned from her mother? Does
her father play any part in her makeup?
Is he oppressing her? If hc is, is it as her
father or as a racist member of the white
society?
The effect of these hysterical racial
attitudes is shown in the article written
by Tedd Kelleher where he says he's a
racist because he feels threatened by
blacks. If Tedd is such a racist, why did
he continue to work with me? Or is he a
closet mcist, one who gets guilty pleasure
out of thinking that as a white person,
inherently racist, he can't change his
attitudes? This is the favorite attitude of
many Evergreeners.
UMOJA is closing doors. Carol Hall
opens them. Anyone and everyone can be
racist. What's needed is not to explrun to
people how they are wrong, but to show
them how to be right.
The first goal, by both blacks and
whites, is EDUCATION. It's hard for
people to move forward until they
understands where they are, where they
have come from, and where they want to
go.
Once people learn about each other
racial attitudes change. My uncle tells a
story of one of his friends who took off
his clothes before making love to an
English woman. As he did she examined
him carefully from every angle before
she let him into the bed. Days la~ he
understood she had been looking for his
tail, she had heard that all black men had
tails.
When does racism stop, and society
get be~ When people of all colors
respect each oth~'s opinions and ideas.
They respect each other when they learn
enough about other cultures to see the
beauty they have.
Carol Hall has shown herself capable
of respecting all peoples. She has
established an educational framework for
people to operate under. If she is wrpng,
it's time for blacks to point out how not
by challenging her because of her skin or
race, but by showing her the subtleties of
being a black person. UMOJA members,
pony up. You can talk the talk, it's time
to walk the walk.
Write articles. Hold seminars. Discuss
the issues of being a person of color with
white people at your meetings. Create
goals Evergreeners can strive for, not
namby-pamby feel-good "elimination of
racism on campus" but concrete steps to
bring change.
Get faculty together to discuss issues
badly handled in seminars. I know there
are a lot of poorly handled issues of race,
I've talked with faculty about it myself.
Talk to people who have been here.
The student groups are losing Evergreen's
best resource, dean Stone Thomas. He's
been a powerful force, both on the
campus
and
in
the
educational
community. Find out what he's done
that's worked, and what hasn't.
And don't discourage people who
make the effort to understand racism and
other cultures, for whatever reason. Carol
Hall should be appreciated for the
treasure she is, a valuable resource in the
midst of a cultural desert.

controlled by fourteen families, who live
in gross extravagance and send their
children to the United States for an
education, while the vast majority of
Salvadorans are forced to live in
conditions of brutal poverty and face
barbarous working conditions.
It is conditions such as vast
malnutrition, infant mortality , hung~, lack
of clean water, disease, lack of housing,
unemployment, no chance for education,
and gross inequalities of land distribution
and wealth which gave rise to the
Farabundo Marti National Liberation
Front (FMLN). Since 1932, the people
of El Salvador have been organizing
(without "outside" influence) to improve
their living conditions_ Since 1932, the
government has been responding with
deaf ears and genocidal force. Farabundo
Marti was the brave spirit who led the
1932 rebellion.
He and 30,000
Salvadorans were executed by the army
for their revolt.
The late 1970's brought increased
repression to El Salvador.
In 1977,
hundreds of people were killed when the
Salvadoran army opened fire on a
peaceful demonstration of 50,000.
Liberation theology churches, labor
unions, peasant organizations, and student
groups grew throughout the late 1970·s.
The government responded to these
popular organizations by setting up death
squads aimed at terrorizing the population
to subvert all organizing attempts.
In 1980, 500,000 people, (10% of the
Salvadoran population) took to the streets
of San Salvador. Again, the National
Guard opened fire. Every attempt to
organize peacefully and within the bounds
of Salvadoran law has been met with
brutal repression, including torture,
Politically
correct
..
OpmlOnS
I can't tell you how many times I've
been in seminar, or in class, or in the
CAB just hanging out and I hear
somebody
talking
about
being
"politically" correct. Maybe this seems
like an outdated issue because this has
been a common term at Evergreen for a
while now, but I'd like to know why it
has persisted.
I know there are some radicals who
aspire to what they believe is political
purity, but I think they make the mistake
of assuming that all other political views
and attitudes are inferior to theirs. To
say "politically correct" implies the
conservative belief that there is a "right
way" to think.
Maybe I'm just letting off stearn,
because I hear a lot of ignorant rhetoric
on this campus. Of course, this may be
just my interpretation of what people say,
but I'm tired of hearing that the United
States is a capitalist fascist country that
just wants to oppress and exploit the
majority. This country's government is
not made up of evil and selfish zombies,
it's made up of people, hard-working
men and women, who have worked hard
to get where they are. While it seems
that congressmen keep giving themselves
pay raises, the education that it takes to
become a congressman or woman could
bring them three times the salary than it
does in Congress. And a $200,000 salary
is very small for a man who has to guide
a country through four years of
leadership and malce decisions involving
billions of dollars.
Again, this is just my opinion. But
then, on the other hand, maybe there's
some truth in what I'm saying. All I'm
asking is that if you fit into any of the
above-mentioned categories, take a second
look at yourself. See if you aren't
infringing on others' rights to hold their
own opinions. see if you aren't making
accusations against this country without
having full proof, and see if you can
bring your general conclusions on
humanity down to the individuals you're
murder, and imprisonment by the
Salvadoran military and government.
It is this lack of respect by the
government for human life that caused
the Salvadoran people to form the
FMLN. The FMLN was fonned to
defend the Salvadoran people's attempts
to organize for humane living and
working condition.
The move to an
armed struggle is not a decision people
make hastily. Rather, armed struggle is
the last resort people take when there is
no more space for peaceful organizing.
The assassination of Archbishop
Oscar Romero is a prime example of the
unmerciful repression inflicted on the
Salvadoran people by the U.S. backed
government. How can a white upper
middle class student like Mr. Williams be
so callous and inherently racist to assert
from his · "omniscient height of his
background" that the Salvadoran people
should use the Ghandian tactics of civil
disobedience? If the people of El
Salvador were to sit down in a
government office, they would just make
themselves easy targets for government
assassination. Campesinos who staged a
sit down strike in Guatemala (a nation
with a government that like EI Salvador's
has a complete lack of respect for human
life) decide to do it on international
territory (the Spanish embassy) where "
theoretically they were assured safety.
The Guatemalan army entered the
Spanish embassy and massacred the
protesting campesinos.
Any rich white North American who
denies the Salvadoran people their right
to self defense through armed struggle,
just rubber stamps the genocide that is
perpetrated
by
the
Salvadoran
government. Gandhi himself stated that
his tactics worked in India because of its
unique history, and would not work in
other nations (such as South Africa).
In conclusion Mr. Williams, I
encourage you to step out of your own
sheltered life and read the accounts of the
Salvadoran people or hear their stories.
Two weeks ago, Evergreen CISPES and
EPIC brought Gloria Galan, a Salvadoran
active in the COMADRES--the committee
of the disappeared. Gloria told her story
of being kidnapped, imprisoned and
tortured three times for inquiring into the
whereabouts of her disappeared brother.
She told her story of being forced to
watch her small siblings be tortured. This
is the repression that United States
money buys in El Salvador and this is
the reason that the Salvadoran people are
forced to defend themselves through
armed struggle.
Stop your hypocritical, inhumane, and
racist assertions that the Salvadoran
people must respond to repression
through passive consent, Mr. Williams! In
the words of a Salvadoran campesino, "I
worked on the hacienda over there, and
I would have to feed the dogs bowls of
meat.. .and I could never put those on the
table for my own children. When my
children were ill, they died with a nod
of sympathy from the landlord. But when
those dogs were ill, I took them to the
veterinarian ... you will never understand
violence or non-violence until you
understand the violence to the spirit that
happens by watching your children die of
malnutrition. "
CISPES meets every Friday night at
5:30 pm in CAB 110.

We're not all self-centered, money

the process them I am pleased. It is
about time someone lit a fIre und~ the
faculty and forced them to fight for what
they believe is right for Evergreen. I
don't believe I am the only student who
has had trouble with the Evergreen
faculty and their dictatorial running of the
college. As for the "negative publicity,"
there is no such thing as bad controversy
unless it involves moral issues such as
drugs. If anything this will just make
Evergreen more popular.
I am not
always happy when I hear about
Evergreen changing, but if Evergreen is
to survive it must change.

Silently picket
l\1 arri ott
I have heard it said that people
would not cross a picket line in order to
patronize Marriott. I am a full time
student and consequently do not have
time to organize and carry out an actual,
traditional picket protest of the Marriott
Corporation. I am however, boycotting
Marriott and I want to encourage others
to join me in this "silent" protest.
My own personal reasons for my
boycott are:
-Astronomically high prices
-Lousy customer service (only certain
employees)
-Marriott's recent (ongoing?) labor
problems
Please, join me and don' t cross my
"picket" line. Bring food from home or,
better yet, help support fellow Greeners
who sell food outside.

Tired of TESC abuse
As a 1986 graduate of The Evergreen
Slate College I for one am tired of the
continual abuse both the staff and the
curriculum receive. The issue of a few
Evergreen faculty being upset over
alleged discrepancies in Joseph Olander's
resume should be left for the college to
deal with.
In 1985 "Joe" brought a
breath of fresh air to a college that had
struggled for 100 long trying to get the
minimal amount of funding it received.
If Mr. Olander has tread on a few toes in

Williams' article
shocking
I am writing in shocked response to
Brendan Williams article, "Mixing
FMLN, Romero 'perverse'."
I found
Williams' article to be riddled with
misinformation and arrogant assumptions,
yet I also found it, in likeness to the
corporate media portrayal of EI Salvador,
a distressingly familiar article. Mr.
Williams seems to suffer from the
common malady of liberals in the United
Stales of assuming that any Third World
person who takes up arms is just like any
other person who takes up arms, and that
the same is true of any group involved in
anned resistance. Thus he is able to
stale that, "The FMLN is basically a
group of bandits, like the Contras--except
lefL" Perhaps a basic Central American
see history page 12
Cooper Point Journal April 19, 1990
Page 11
from history page 11
history lesson is in order here.
The ConlraS were a group of
Nicaraguan ex-National Guardsmen who,
in the early 1980's, were organized by
the Central Intelligence Agency to launch
a covert war against the newly instituted
government of Nicaragua. These were the
men who had instituted decades of
brutality under the Somoza regime, and
had fled the country when the Somozas
were driven out of power by the
Nicaraguan revolutionary front, the FSLN.
The ConlraS enjoy minimal popular
support in Nicaragua, as their methods of
attacks are against the general population
(such as running over-the-border raids
against collective farms, hospitals, and
schoolhouses, then fleeing back to their
bases in Honduras). The ConlraS fight is
against the people of Nicaragua--it is a
war of barbarous terror and murder.
Only one ignorant of the facts of the
situation or with the forementioned
malady could even think to compare the
Contras and the FMLN. The FMLN (the
Farabundo Marti National Liberation
Front) is a group formed in 1980 to
battle the rampant repression and
inequality in EI Salvador. The FMLN
forged together five guerilla groups,
which had formerly fought in separate
parts of the country into an unified
coalition. An alliance was then made
between the FMLN and the FDR
(Democratic Revolutionary Front), an
unity of popular organizations, labor
federations, students, peasant associations,
women's groups, professionals, and
formt'J' government officials committed to
creating a new EI Salvador.
This was a very important step in the
empowerment of the people of EI
Salvador. In El Salvador inequality and
repression are an unbearable burden for
the people. Less than two percent of the
people in the country control 60% of the
land and 90% of the wealth. Meanwhile,
80% of the population is unemployed or
underemployed and over 60% live in
destitute poverty. Any attempts at
peaceful change or reform have been met
repeatedly with violence on the part of
the government and the armed forces.
Union leaders, health care and human
rights workers, peasants, students,
priests ... these are all the avowed enemies
of the Salvadoran government Since
1979, over 80,000 Salvadorans have been
killed by government security forces and
army-controlled death squads. The
overwhelming majority are civilians.
It is these realities which have
forced the people of EI Salvador-farm workers, slumdwellers, and trade
unionists--to form an armed guerilla
resistance, Mr. Williams .. .not (as you
imply) coercive Soviet influence. The
majority of weapons carried by FMLN
combatants are gotten in raids upon
military outposts, with nearly all the rest
having been bought on the Central
American black market. Thus the
alltomatic weapon most used by the
FMLN is a U .S. made M-16, not the
Soviet made AK-47. The FMLN is a
group of Salvadorans, fighting in EI
Salvador,
for
the
liberation
of
Salvadorans. The fact that they both tend
to carry M-I6s is the only similarity
between they and the ConlraS.
I would like to conclude by saying
that I am saddened, more than anything
else, from reading your article. Your
brandishing of red-menace and empty
terrorist rhetoric made your piece read
more like a State Department position
paper than the writing of a selfproclaimed "progressive." A week before
his death, Archbishop Romero declared
that when a government has complete
disregard for its people, when any
attempts at reform are met with
repression, and when entreaties for justice
and peace are met only with violence, the
people have a legitimate right to take up
arms to defend themselves, and this the
Church regards as a just war. No, Mr.
Williams, unfurling an FMLN banner at
a rally commemorating Oscar Romero I
not perverse; using his name in order l"
propagate the very misinformation which
has underscored U.S. policy there for the
last ten years, however, is very perverse.
T im Pellow
'Relevant facts' indicate ROlllero
and FMLN quite cOlDpatil;>le .
.
As activists concerned with conditions
both in the United States and El
Salvador we were both shocked and
dismayed with Brendan William's letter
entitled
"Mixing
FMLN,
Romero
'pervt'J'SC'."
Shocked because an
advocate of "critical reasoning" could
overlook relevant facts when discussing
the life of a prominent figure such as
Archbishop Romero. Dismayed because
a self proclaimed "progressive"
distorted the reality of the conflict in EI
Salvador. We agree with Williams that
there is a lack of critical reasoning
among students regarding foreign policy.
Ironically, his letter exemplifies this
affliction in several ways.
Williams says "I don't want some
earnest pseudo-radical to preach to me
about the virtues of the FMLN, usually
from the omniscient height of her or his
white middle class status." In response,
we do not support the FMLN because of
some type of knee-jerk, reactionary antiAmericanism (as Williams goes on to
imply). Our sympathies for the FMLN
come from an understanding of the facts
and realities of El Salvador. We do not
rely solely on the State Department, the
New York Times, or The Guardian.
Rather, we feel that Salvadorans like
Oscar Romero can offer the clearest
understanding of the conflict. It is these
people who can best inform ~ about EI
Salvador; whether we are whIte, brown,
Page 12 Cooper Point Journal April 19, 1990
black, male, female, over, middle, or
undercJass.
Williams states "Oscar Romt'J'O was
a brave eloquent man who stood for
peace." True. However, by conlraSting
Romt'J'O with the FMLN, Williams
assumes that Oscar Romt'J'O was a
staunch pacifist. By doing so, Williams
implies that the aims of the FMLN are
antithetical to those of Romero. Such a
conlraSt is in blatant disregard of the
remarks made by Romero himself.
In his letter, Williams tries to equate
Romero, "a man who stood for peace,"
with a universal appeal to the tenants of
of
specific
nonviolence--regardless
historic, social, economic and political
contexL
He
also reveals
his
misunderstanding of the conflict by
falsely labeling the situation in EI
Salvador as strictly a super-power
confrontation.
Regarding the actual situation in El
Salvador, Romero stated the church could
not "..simplistically say it condemns any
type of violence." Repression, according
to Romero, was directed at anyone who
challenged the local oligarchy and the
existing economic and political structures
of El Salvador's exploitative agro-export
economy. In this context, the poor and
anyone who "...organized themselves to
defend their rights and promote legitimate
struc~ c~g~ ... " ~er; labeled as
"subversIves or terronsts and a threat
to nauonal secunty. Romero pomted out
that those who dare think they may have
rights were II ... arrested, tortured, made to
disappear, or murdered with no judicial
institution to protect them or to give
them a chance to defend themselves and
prove their innocence."
Romero
concluded that in this context the people
had a right to insWTection and legitimate
defense.
From
Williams'
own
"omniscient height of.. middle class white
affluence,"
universal
principled
nonviolence and archaic cold war notions
may be easy to preach.
However,
oppressed Salvadorans can not afford to
live with such delusions.
In
1978
Romero stated; "the conflict is not
between church and government, it is
between government and people. The
church is with the people and the people
are with the church, thank God." In his
fourth pastoral letter of 1979, Romero
was eltplicit about the relationship
between armed resistance, the people, and
the church. When a reporter inquired
about his impressions of the Salvadoran
"left" he replied, "I don't call them forces
of the left but forces of the people, and
their anger may be a prod.uct of social
injustice."
The "forces" Romero was referring
to were popular organizations and
guerrillas which united shortly after his

The right choice.
History runs counter to 'disinformation'
Opening the seepage i see yet another
example of disinformation in the form of
8 letter by brendan williams. I think that
before i point out the lies in brendan's
text a historical perspective is necessary,
albeit brief condensed and incomplete.
In 1524 the Spanish imperialists
invaded
Central America.
The
indigenous people of El Salvador, · the
Pipil, had a communal agricultural way
of life until the Spaniards attacked.
Inside of 50 years, violence and disease
wiped out approximately 425,000
indigenous people: only 75,000 people
were left Three centuries of Spanish
rule created an economy dependent on
export crops.
A series . of uprisings led to
independence from Spain in 1821. For
the campesinos (people who work the
land), this "independence" didn't change
a whole helluva lot; they were still
toiling on land they didn't own for the
profit of the landowners. Crops such as
cocoa and indigo (blue dye) were ·
exported to great Britain, the <-main
trading "partner."
In 1833 a major
uprising led by anastasio aquino (no
relation to cory "friendly fascist" aquino
who's . presently in power in the
Philippines) was crushed by the new
rulers of El Salvador who proved to be
as ruthless as their former Spanish
masters. When a synthetic for indigo
was invented, the Salvadoran economy
went for a nose dive until the new cash
crop, coffee, was introduced. By the late
19th century it accounted for 95% of
exports---and u.s. "interests" surpassed
those of the British.
In the 1920s campesinos and city
dwellers were organizing to change things
through electoral politics and peaceful
demonstrations.
In 1922, a womens'
march through the capital of San
Salvador was fired upon by the military
and dozens of women were massacred.
In 1931 the coffee export price drastically
fell. You can bet that the 1% of the
population that owned roughly 90% of
the nation's wealth didn't miss a meal.
The oligarchs passed their losses on to
the workt'J'S and some compas found their
wages slashed overnight from 75 to 25
centavos.
Strikes and mass marches
increased. In december 1931 there was
a military coup which seated general
martinez in power.
In 1932 there was a mass uprising
led by a man named farabundo marti, a
long time revolutionary and organizer of
the poor. The response was swift and
brutal and in less than two weeks some
30,000 people were slaughtered.
In
operations that rivaled the tactics the u.s.
used in the invasion of vietnam, the
military went into villages, burned the
peoples'
homes, lined the entire
populations of villages up against the
church wall (often the only stone
building) and shot everyone, men, women
and children alike. Often the military
would put corpses on stakes or in tree
fom-lmd hang signs from the bodies
warning that this is the fate that awaited
all communists.
"The peasants were
hunted down not only in the region of
the revolt, but on the basis simply of
their dress or 'caste 0 features'. It is
from 1932 that the ending of an
indigenous style of dressing, language
and traditions most clearly dates and it
became a crime to be a native
Salvadoran." (hopkinson, 15) Bitterly
ironic is that maximum estimates of
deaths caused by the rebels is no more
than 30, six of which were civilians.
In the years since the Mantanza
(massacre) of 1932, the conditions under
which people live have worsened, Today
cotton and coffee are the main export
crops.
U.s.
corporations
from
proctor&garnble to levi-strauss to pepsico
& cocola profit from the foreign market
and cheap labour. Exploited campesipos
labour 12 hours a day for $1.50, which
hardly feeds themselves no less their
families. Women and children are paid
25% less than men. Both in the country
and the cities women and children make
up such a huge part of the work force,
they provide a labour pool that keeps the
wages low for the entire working class.
Presently, 60% of the arable land is
owned by 2% of the population. (At the
heart of the FMLNs platform is land
reform.)
Massive use of chemical
insecticides is among the main causes of
severe soil erosion which affects over
83% of the country. Regular bombing,
including the use of napalm and white
phosphorus, is a major cause of
deforestation and soil damage. Crop
dusters spray the fields while the
campesinos. are working in them. Due
to the soil damage, water percolation has
been cut and now only one in ten
Salvadorans now has access to safe
Letter
drinking water. 25% of all children are
malnourished and one in every five
children will die of disease or
malnutrition before the age of 5 years.
"96% of El Salvador's families make less
than what is needed to meet basic needs."
(EPOCA)
Rebellion has been historically
consistent with the oppressive poverty in
El Salvador. This is the cause of the
revolution, it is not imported and has
nothing to do with an east/west conflict
as brendan would have us believe. It is
not surprising that a wealthy white male
such as brendan is "intolerant" of a
"powt'J' struggle between the world's
bullies," and yet has patience for the
brutal reality which the Salvadoran people
face every day_
In 1980, five revolutionary parties
with military wings joined under the
bannt'J' of Farabundo Marti National
Liberation Front (FMLN).
A mass
popular movement made up of hundreds
of groups including unions, peasant
groups (including even 8 street people's
organization), womens' groups, church
groups and political parties formed the
Democratic Revolutionary Front (FDR)
to present a political alternative to the
military junta. The junta " asn't too fond
of the idea and subsequently rounded up
the leaders of the FOR, tortured them
and executed them.
Eventually, the
FMLN and the FDR merged (now
FMLN/FDR). A week before he was
assassinated in march of 1980, arcbbishop
oscar romero said that if all other means
non-violent failed, than armed self
defence was justified. It seems ironic to
me that such a strong advocate for
furnishing "security" (who give me the
creeps, but that's another issue altogether,
or is it'?) with fIre arms as brendan
williams, is suddenly babbling about
pacifism. This perhaps stems from sheer
stupidity, a severe lapse in critical
reasoning which he claims others lack, or
it's the standard Qrwellian double speak
that the u.s. government and the
corporate media unceasingly spew out at
US, or a combination of all. It's okay for
the pigs (Salvadoran or North American)
to use violence to protect their power and
property but to defend one's self andlor
people, whether you are danny spencer,
who was clubbed to death last summer
by seven olympia pigs and one civilian
Pork chop after he fllSt tried to escape,
then futilely try to fend off seven
nightsticks and many fists with his bare
arms (the verdict at the inquest was
"excusable homicide") or if you are a
member of the FMLN, defending your
people against a repression that has killed
75,000 people in the last decade. The
FMLN, contrary to what brendan says
carry few ak-47s. The gun of the FMLN
is the m-16. They procure their weapons
from capturing them from the Salvadoran
military, from buying them from the
notoriously corrupt Salvadoran military
and purchasing them over the black
market from the contras. This arms trade
is the only connection between the
FMLN and the contras, which are largely
comprised of former somoza national
guardsmen who are as much mass
mW'derers as the salvadoran military and
the u.s. armed forces.
With the steady 1.5 million dollars
a day the u.s. sends down to the
Salvadoran government, presently the
ARENA (national republican alliance) i
fmd it unlikely that there is any real hope
for a negotiated solution until all aid is
cut.
Though brendan opposes the
"patriarchal" aspect of u.s. intervention
he comes off as rather patronizing,
especially when he states thaL.. "it's
encouraging that the latest news has the
FMLN sitting down ... " forming coalition
parties to "... face ARENA at the polls
next year." How nice, those children are
putting down their guns and facing off,
fare and square like those of us "who
have a true respect for humanity." It's
unfortunate that brendan didn't take the
time to look critically, if at all, at last
year's elections. About six weeks before
the elections took place, the FMLN/FDR
proposed that they would lay down their
arms if they could participate in the
elections on the condition that their safety
was ensured and that they be given a few
months to prepare a campaign. The
government refused. The FMLN/FDR
has consistently
tried to initiate
negotiations with the that same response.
At present, though the government has
agreed to negotiate, the u. s., which is the
real enemy, will take no active part.
Throughout all "elections" in El Salvador,
including the last, any candidate opposing
the regime have been assassinated. I
think "true respect for private property"
would be a more accurate phrase.
The
la~t negotiations between the FMLN/FDR
and ARENA ended abruptly when the
government expressed the sincerity of its
efforts by bombing the offices of
FENAS1RES (union) during a busy lunch
hour, killing ten people and injuring
another thirty and the COMADRES
(committee of motht'J'S of political
prisoners,
the
disappeared
and
assassinated in El Salvador) office.
Shortly thereafter, on november II,
1989, the FMLN launcbed a general
offensive. The military responded with
u.s. assisted bombing and strafing of the
countryside as well as the poorer areas
of the cities including the capital, causing
3,000 to 5,000 death, most of which were
non-combatants (a month later the u.s.
invaded Panama massacring 4,000 to
7,000 people, mostly from massive aerial
bombings of cities).
Most disturbing about brendan's
drivel is that his is exactly the
perspective one might get if one's source
of information is the u.s. mass media.
As for brendan, he takes the typical
liberal stance of trying to appear in the
middle but in EI Salvador, there is no
middle: there's the oligarchy and military
on one side and the people and the
FMLN/FDR on the other.
Centerist
ideology is a failure to take a stance and
thus serves to perpetuate the status quo.
In the case of El Salvador, this lack of
stance is merely a cover of sympathy for
the fascist regime.

assassination to form the FMLN/FDR.
CWTently, the FMLN/FDR is the military
and political arm of the various popular
organizations in El Salvador. The fact
that the FMLN/FDR is recognized by the
United Nations as the negotiating body of
the Salvadoran opposition would suggest
that it has substantial popular support and
is no mere fringe group (or "group of
bandits," as Williams would like us to
believe).
We do not uncritically support the
FMLN, and do not expect that from
those we work with and seek to inform.
However, it is slanderous to reduce
our support of the FMLN to a crude
caricature of violence-loving leftists, a
label which Williams' would like to
apply
to
anyone
who
supports
revolutionary struggle.
Obviously,
peaceful and negotiated reconciliation is
the most desirable means to resolve any
conflict However, this road has been
tried innumt'J'able times in El Salvador
and has consistently been meet with
ruthless state violence and repression.
What we are asking is for people to
gain an accurate understanding of the
conflict The views of Oscar Romt'J'O
can provide such insight. We feel he is
credible and spoke from the perspective
of someone directly involved. Williams'
letter, on the other hand, assumes much
and tells us little about Oscar Romero,
the FMLN and the overall situation in El
Salvador.
To us, Williams' treatment of El
Salvador reflects a dangerous current in
the United States: a disregard for facts
and a lack of historical perspective. This
attitude fosters a political apathy based on
white middle class guilt (i.e.--"who are
[we] to pick sides in someone else's
war?"). This denial of responsibility and
unwillingness to make political choices
undermines potential solidarity between
North Americans and people struggling
against oppression funded with our taxes.
One would expect these currents to be
instigated by the CIA and the State
departrnent--certainly
not from
an
advocate of "critical reasoning."

God commands--
Thou shalt worship new TAD EP
TAD
SALT LICK EP
LosER 45
SUB PoP RECORDS
by Dan Snomn
Tad Doyle is God.
As a loyal follower, I worship as it
is written in the Book of Tad:
"And on the seventh day, thou shalt
partake of the holy spirits and listen to
the Word of Tad."
My favorite holy spirit happens to be
a White Russian, and on Sunday evenings
you can find me partaking and listening
to the glorious word of Tad
Before, I had only God's Balls, Tad's
fltSt release. But now Sub Pop, the
gracious pope of Tad, has recently
propelled my religious experiences to a
higher level of consciousness with the
release of a new 45 and EP.
Oh Tad, Salt Uck is an elevating
spiritual experience. Somewhat c:eaner
are thy holy sounds due to the production
of prophet Steve Albini, and yet the
rough, grungy quality of thy rockin' tunes
is not lost!
Of course, as on other holy releases
the lyrics on Salt Lick are mostly
unintelligible. This is certainly because
the true meaning of the Word of Tad
cannot be revealed until a time when
humankind reaches a mental level at
which he may understand what true
revelations the Word holds. Many hours
of contemplation can reveal parts, but
only to true believers.
Truly blessed is the Word. "Axe 10
Grind" grinds thy brain to the consistency
of vomited oatmeal. "High on the Hog"
hogs and tweaks thy very hearing with
the Word. "Wood Goblins" gobbles thy
blood and spits it out on thy wall. Oh
Tad, thy dislOrted guitars, how they
soothe the drunken soul!
Heavy is thy bashin' beat in
"Hibernation." "Glue Machine" sits in
thy stomach like undigested gum. And
"Potlatch" bears the alcoholic breath of
Tad upon the presence of the worthy.
These brain dislOrting, hair shaking tunes
are blessed gifts upon the great Tad's
drunken followers, and 10 possess them is
to know the true happiness of the wasted.
The 45 holds the same spiritual
qualities as the EP. "Loser" has been
interpreted by higher priests such as
myself as a song condemning those lower
fools who do not realize the true
significance of the Word. "Cooking with
Gas" pounds upon thy head like a
sledgehammer upon old cauliflower.
Page 14 Cooper Point Journal April 19, 1990
In addition, this singly contains
unmeasurable wisdom engraved upon the
sacred vinyl disk:
"The show ain't over until the fat
man rocks."
Truly a spectacular revelation!
The followers of Tad call to you:
Believel Large amounts of alcohol alone
cannot save you; you must hear the Word
of Tad as expressed in Salt Lick and the
Loser 45. Only then will you realize the
true drunken glory of Tad and his Word.
Believe, for Tad Doyle is God.

None of the above; it's the UFO Contact

Aileen Edwards, a Federal Way
resident, heads the UFO Contact Center
Inlemational, or UFOCCI as it is
commonly called.
UFOCCI holds
monthly open meetings at which all

.traumatic experIences
discussed.
Most inleresting, however, are the
weekly closed meetings for UFO
"abductees."
A UFO abductee is a person who
claims that they have been abducted by
aliens, submitted to physical examinations
by those aliens, and released. Usually the
victim has no memory of the event, and
recalls it under hypnosis.
Abduclees come from all walks of
life. Although people such as Whitley
Strieber have writlen best-sellers, most
abductees are very reluctant to talk about
their experiences and are very traumatized
by them.
UFOCCI, therefore, provides a
valuable service for "UFO abduclees" as
it allows them to "discuss their
experience with others of like mind and
circumstance." Only people who have
experienced an abduction are allowed into
the weekly, closed meetings.
Apparently there is a genuine need
for such support groups, as chapters have
developed in many cities around the
country.

Transportation Dept. saves wetlands
News Release
"The failure of the 1990 Legislature
to enact wetlands protection measures
will not affect the Washington Stale
Department of Transportation's (WSDOT)
continuing efforts to preserve wetlands,"
said Duane Berentson, Transportation
Secretary.
"We've always tried to be good
neighbors," Berentson said. "As manager
of over 100,000 acres of land in the state
trBI!sportation sySlem, the department
recognizes its responsibility to protect and
preserve wetlands in and adjacent to
those lands. For the past several years
we have planned and tried to conduct our
activities to lessen the destruction, loss,
or degradation of wetlands. We're now
increasing those efforts, with the inlention
of leaving wetlands betler than we found
them."
Elements of the department's plan
include an inventory of wetlands on
transportation rights of way and capitol
facilities, research on wetland inventory
and mitigation methods, use of wetland
banking (large man-made wetlands to
compensale for future impacts) to achieve
a net increase in wetlands, cooperative
agreements with resource agencies, and
training and public awareness programs.
When it is not possible to avoid
wetlands, WSOOT will take action to
minimize the impacts to the wetland and
to adequalely mitigale the impacts that
cannot be avoided.
Berentson said, ''The agency will
support the goals of the Governor's
Executive
Order,
'Protection
of
Wetlands,' signed on December 12,
1989." Those goals are to achieve no
overall net loss in acreage and function
EMO
community viewed from the larger
European-American community, within
this conlext it is more understandable
why people not fitting into the larger
group are then identified as distinct from
this group.
However, that language is certainly
not appropriale when speaking of South
Africa and its communities. Obviously
the majority group in Africa are Africans
and so it is redundant to write "black
South Africans," do you recognize that in
order to even appear educated one must
use language within the conlext of what
you are speaking? Perhaps because you
are coming from a privileged position
this is a new idea to you but I've learned
your language; make the atlempt to learn
mine.
And yes, language is very
important, it is by our use of language
structure and meaning that oppressors are
so successful.
I hope you enjoy your Coke and God
forbid you find yourself in my peoples
position oppressed by "educated" peoples
like yourself.

COMEDIAN
WORDS FROM UMOJA
by Amandla Ngawethu and Jabulile
Dayton
In response to Paul Henry and his
self righleous and patronizing article
"Coke Sweelened Apartheid?" I feel very
secure in lelling you that South Africans
are more concerned about their freedom
from severe and debilitating oppression
that their "freedom" to drink Coke (don't
take my word for it, do your homework).
I am so pleased to read about your
ovrxwhelming concern for my people and
yes, I did my homework.
Though my
education comes from a factual basis-my people are lilerally from South Africa
and still suffering under its while
minority ruled government, there are
resources in abundance to educale people
like you who question the experience of
30 million people.
How dare you call a movement to
free people "hyslerical!" How dare you
call my cousins and family struggling for
their civil rights "knee-jerk reactionaries!"
How I wish I could take you with me \0
South Africa with me so you could see
for your satisfied "coke-drinking self."
Lastly to bring to question your language
in the article (though it was riddled with
questionable language), specifically the
term "black South Africans." In the
United States of America people who are
African or of African descent are a small
of Washington's remaining wetland base,
and to increase the quantity and quality
of that wetland resource base.
"There
are
occasions
when
transportation projects can affect the
natural environment," Berentson said.
"But with careful planning, manage'.Il ent,
and coordination with resource agencies,
these projects can meet transportation
goals and enhance the value of
WashingtOn's wetlands."
