security, from page 9
the bill was never to ann campus
security, an unwelcome and admittedly
scary prospect in its present incarnation.
This was the simplistic and inflammatory
version promulgated by the student
referendum, CPJ, and the poorly
administered Campus Safety Survey. By
the way, did anybody get one of those?
I haven't talked to a student who has.
However, I digress, the bill's idea was to
create a new entity, a campus police
force. I had no more objections to this
than I have to well·trained and equipped
law enforcement anywhere.
The campus police requirement,
however, failed in the Legislature this
year ironically not as the result of the
lobbying of any individual or group, but
simply because the powerful chair of
House Appropriations, Rep. Gary Locke
(D.-Seattle) thought it was basically a
poo-poo idea.
Thus we have been afforded new
opponunities. To heal the wounds
inflicted during the melee over this issue.
And to come up with a viable alternative
to an armed police force. I'm willing to
believe it can be done. It has to be done.
The posturing of our present Campus
Safety DTF is by no means a guarantee
of results. We've had such DTFs in the
past. They are good at one thing;
disappearing. Meanwhile, the problem
remains.
We have an unconscionable rate of
sexual harassment, and assault, incidents
on this campus. One a year is too many.
One a week, an average we have
achieved in the past, is as intolerable as
it is frightening. If the harassment had
~n directed at men, instead of women,
you can bet we would have done
something long ago.
Getting back to Larry. It was a
tough enough task reconciling our campus
to the notion of having its own police
force. Particularly in the manner in which
it was presented, as though each security
officer would be handed a six-shooter.
Larry didn't help things. He could have
taken a diplomatic course, respectful
disagreement instead of what he did. ije
took, in effect, the Shennan's March
approach - trampling over the legitimate
concerns of students, staff, and faculty. A
bull in a china shop, he called women
"girls," accused the school of being lost
in the 1960's, and ridiculed efforts at
reconciliation. These reasons alone are
probable cause for dismissal, for he must
function within our community. I cannot
judge the validity of the · allegations
against him, the process will address
those.
It is a time for healing. There
should be no false dichotomy engendered
separating security from the Evergreen
community's values. Petty reaction will
ill·serve us, it is a time for activism. You
can bet that if we fail to clean our own
house this year the Legislature will be
back next session with the same broom
and one more month to sweep with it.

Five
male
teenagers
were
apprehended by campus Security officers
on Thursday, April 5 in connection with
the theft of car stereos in C·lot. The
suspects, none of whom attend Evergreen,
have confessed to previous vandalism and
theft from automobiles parted at the
College.
According to Sgt. Darwin Eddy of
campus Security. the suspects were
spoued at 12:05 am on Thursday by an
off duty security officer who was driving
through McCann Plaza. As the officer
reached the Evergreen Parkway, he heard
glass breaking in C-lot and saw one
suspect shaner the window of an
automobile. The officer radioed to
security headquarters and returned to the
parking lot to investigate.
When the suspects attempted to
escape, the officer followed their vehicle.
The youths sped down the Parkway and
entered Highway 101, heading west
towards Shelton. The pursuing officer
took their license plate number
returned to ·the campus.
The leens later returned to the college
and were pulled over by security officers
near McLane Fire Station. They were
taken to campus Security headquarters,
questioned, and turned over to the
Thurston County authorities.
The suspects, who are from Olympia
and Shelton, were charged with
vandalism, theft. and malicious mischief.
They face sentencing in Thurston County
Juvenile Court, and will be forced to pay
restibltion to the owners of the vehicles.
According to Eddy, the suspects were
not newCQRIers to the Evergreen campus.
"The teens confessed to involvement
in numerous break·ins in our parking
lots over the last several months; said
Eddy, an 8 year veteran ·of Evergreen's
security force. "Hopefully, we'll see an
end to the problem of car stereo theft .
and vandalism at the college."
S. Martin is an Evergreen student and
a CPJ staff writer.
This chart was compiled by sending a questionnaire to
the student groups asking them to describe their accomplishmeJ)ts this year. About two-thirds of the student groups responded. The budgets listed are for the

Lotto winner shares $4M with Greener son

Vern Flesner, Lutheran Pastor and
Evergreen's chaplain in residence, offered
me some monkey bread from a pile of
snacks on his desk. "I bad a birthday
recently, and I decided to celebrate: he

few people seem to know who he is. "I
don't shove myself down people's
throats," he says. On a campus that
mostly ignores or refutes formal religion,
that policy makes sense, but it does make
him more obscure than he might be in
another setting.
Vern was born in Beatrice, Nebraska;
he gives thanks to the local church's
leadership training school for "showing
me I could be something else than a
farmer." He got a bachelor's degree in
social , services from Dana College in
1957, then attended Wartburg Seminary
in Dubuque, Iowa. The Seminary
included one year of field work; Vern
ended up in 'Walla Walla.

provided the Sandanistas with armies to
win the revolution.
Ten years later, on February 25, they
do a little travelling as a result of the
windfall.
"I'm going to Japan this summer,"
he said.
In addition to travel, the younger
Gardner's life will change in other ways.
"I'll probably quit my job until after
school," he said, "but I won't change my
schooling plans." He said he still in~ds
ro attend' Evergreen with a focus on
Political Science and Latin American
Studies.
About his future, however, the
Nebraska's: "It was dry, and it didn't get
100 cold, and it didn't seem 100 hot, and
the wind didn't blow; he laughs.
After graduation he did three years at
a Nebraska parish, three more at a
children's hospital in Houston, and then
a sixteen-year stand at St. Luke's general
hospital in Milwaukee. At St. Luke's he
ran a training program for nurses and
other pasrors. "'The nurses understood
Kubler-Ross' five stages of death [denial,
anger, bargaining, depression, and
acceptance], but what they didn't
understand was that people go back and
forth between stages." I asked him what
he learned as a children's hospital
chaplain. "Children get sick quicker, but
they also get well quicker.
There's two schools of thought in
children's hospitals, one where the
parents come live in the hoSPital, and one
. where they don't--our hospital was one
were the parents lived in. That's
important, because it is the whole family
that becomes sick. ln a lot of cases,
where the kids have died, it ends in
divorce."
ln, 1983, Flesner vansferred to the
Washington Corrections Center at
Shelton, replacing a former student of
his. He continued the Clinical Pastoral
Education program, preparing new pastors
for chaplainship. Five years later he led
a fight to get lawyers for 36 Hispanic
inmates, all scheduled for deportation
hearings in one day--theoretically-between 9 am and 3 pm, with no legal
representation. 'The judge denied Flesner
and his associates permission to counsel
the inmates, so they appealed to various
lawyer's guilds. The inmates got their
lawyers, and a translator, but the prison
superintendent suspended Vern from his
post on June 12, 1989.
A local pastor tipped him off to the
opening at Evergreen--Thurston County
Ministries in Higher Education wanted to
put a full-time chaplain on campus.
Flesner had sent resumes all across the
country, but a local position meant he
and his wife wouldn't have to move from
Shelton. He applied over the summer and

Garbage: America's Renewable Resource
by Devin Bennett
Ninety percent of all household
garbage in America, according to
government statistics, isn't garbage at all.
Yard and food waste, for example,
far from being "waste," is the precious
organic material that gives soil its
fertility. [f this commodity were properly
returned to the soil, it could enrich our
fast-disappearing supply of topsoil that
ensures the continued production of food
for the world. By burying it in landfJlls,
however, we cut off the oxygen that
supports useful biological breakdown and
transform organic matter into "waste," in
fact as well as by name.
Paper, which can be reprocessed as
many as four times before being returned
to the soil as compost, is too often buried
in landfJlIs as well. Aluminum, steel, tin,
and other metals, which could be
reprocessed at a fraction of the cost of
production for virgin metal, are allowed
to rust and poison the already diseased
soil of the world's dumping grounds.
Glass and plastic, which cost twice as
much to produce from raw materials as
from recycled, are thrown away.
In short, most of the so-called
garbage in the garbage cans of America
is not garbage--nol, at least, until we
make it so.
What can we do as individuals to
stop the draining away of resources into
landfills?
The fIrSt and greatest step is to stop
buying useless items. There is no reason
to drag home pounds of packaging if
food is available in unpackaged "bulk"
form. Buying disposable items, such as
paper and plates, makes no sense either
environmentally or economically.
Second, we must stop throwing
tbings away that have not outlived their
usefulness. Glass jars and plastic bags are
perfect examples; the convenience of
keeping these in supply justifies reusing
as well.
Finally, we must begin sorting our
garbage. Rather than throwing everything
into one enormous bin, we can use
several smaller buckets, one each for
organic material, aluminum, tin, steel,
glass, plastic, paper, and nonrecyclables.
The fraction of garbage that will go into
the last bucket--induding rubber, textiles,
and multilayer packaging--is astonishingly

Higher efficiency for cars and drivers
by Duan.e Drummond and Susan
Searles
One third of the carbon dioxide
produced in the United States comes
from automobiles. maJcing them a major
contributor to global warming. About
two percent of the total surface area of
the U.S., including ten percent of all
arable land. has been paved over to
accommodate cars. Each passenger car
requires an average of 4000 square feet
of asphalt just for parking spaces in a
daily routine: home. work. and shopping.
Worldwide, nearly a quarter million
people per year die in traffic accidents.
Yet, the mode of choice for getting
around in this country is still the
automobile.
Efficiency of automobiles can be
assessed in a variety of ways. The facts
above indicate some of the environmental
costs of cars. Anyone who keeps track
of gas prices. insurance rates. or highway
funding. has ideas about the economic
efficiency of cars. One of the most ·
revealing perspectives is from the
standpoint of energy.
In 1988. the average fuel efficiency
of cars driven in the U.S. was nearly 20
miles per gallon.
This is an
improvement of better than 40% above
the average efficiency of 20% years ago.
Although this sounds like fme headway.
rumors
of
phenomenal
mileage
performance and suspicions of corporate
foot-dragging
leave . many
people
dissatisfied with the difference between
what cars might do and what cars
actually do. These rumors and suspicions
are quite well-founded.
AU of the major manufacturers have
developed passenger car prototypes with
extremely high fuel efficiencies at normal
driving speeds. Both General Motors and
Volkswagen have designed cars which
attain about 70 miles per gallon. Volvo
and Peugeot can get 80 mpg. Ford has
reached more than 90 mpg, and Toyota
and Renault close to 110 mpg. The 1988
Renault "Vesta" achieved an amazing 138
miles per gallon, cruising at a steady 56
miles per hour. Despite impressions of
fuel efficient vehicles as million-dollar
erector-set contraptions, mass-produced
cars can be efficient without being
expensive or rickety.
Technology to
increase fuel efficiency evidentially exists.
but certain social and economic obstacles
must be overcome.
Americans' attraction for more
powerful (less fuel-efficient) cars is wellknown, and growing. In 1980, 30% of
Americans listed fuel econom y as the
most important factor in choosing their
next car.
By 1987, this figure had
plummeted to a minuscule 3%. Without
strong consumer demand for fuel-efficient
cars, manufacturers feel little incentive to
increase the fuel efficiency of their
automobile fleet
One way to boost fuel efficiency of
automobiles is with governmental actionof
fuel
economy
-implementation
standards, gas taxes, or consumer
incentives. Another way is governmental
inaction, allowing purely market reactions
to fuel price or perceived availability to
guide auto makers toward improvements.
Enjoying this second slance, American
manufacturers argue that too much
regulation would give foreign competitors
unfair advantages, since many imports
already meet suggested fuel efficiency
standards.
However, without policy changes,
the average fuel consumption of
passenger vehicles will not be made
better within the decade. No matter what
motivates
improvements
in
fuel
efficiencies, this tension between industry
and government (or, this collaboration)
leaves the rest of us guzzling gas.
So, just how many miles per gallon
can you get from a car'] More exactly,
how much work can you get from the
heat of burning gasoline? Without ever
knowing the joys of speeding across an
open stretch of freeway, Isaac Newton
could have correctly answered this
question more than two hundred years
ago based on his first and second Laws
of Thermodynamics: the energy used to
move the car is just a fraction of the
energy supplied by gasoline. In fact,
only 8% of the energy contained in the
gasoline pumped into your tank is
actually used to move the vehicle. The
rest of the energy for work done in the
average car goes to braking, and
auxiliaries such as the alternator and air
conditioning. Overall, a third of the total
initial energy is used for work, a third
goes to cooling the engine, and a third is
coughed out the exhaust pipe.
The
opportunities
for
fuel
efficiency
improvements are in this distribution of
energy.
Since such large proportions of
energy are spent cooling a conventional
engine, <r wasted as exhaust, research is
emphasized have been in these areas.
Several innovations have been gaining
ground recently to minimize or recover
the energy lost during the internal
combustion process. For example, metal
engines overlteat with the . friction of
operation, thereby requi$g much of the
supplied energy to w<Xk at preventing the
heat stress. Ceramic parts with a greak'Z
capacity for heat are now being perfected.
Nissan and Izusu have already
demonsttaled that ceramic engines can
meet standard performance demands. (It
is interesting to note manufacturers in
Page 4 Cooper Point Journal April 12, 1990
Japan have been more successful than in
the U.S. because there, ceramic engines
were developed piece by piece while
here, funded by the DOE, a wholeengine-or-bust mentality has prevailed.)
Another important innovation is the
continuously variable transmission (CV1),
which adjusts the engine to the cars
requirement for work. This means that a
car going uphill will be automatically set
by the CYT to do more work than the
saine car when it comes time to go
downhill, level, or idle.
This makes
available two-thirds of the energy
conventionally spent on the transmission
process.
Toyota and Mitsubishi now
have models using the CYT.
The main body design options for
improving fuel efficiency of cars are
power train optimization, reducJion of
weight,
rolling
resistance,
and
aerodynamic drag. Fleet fuel efficiency
can also be increased by shifting to
smaller cars, "dO\>1lSizing" to twopassenger vehicles. Many people have
misconceptions about the safety of
smaller cars, but careful design can
compensate . for size in protecting its
occupants.
For automobile fuel efficiency at the
individual level, all it takes is a little
common sense.
Susan Searles and Duane Drummond
investigated automobile fuel efficiency as
part of their work in Energy Systems.

small, two-passenger cars. and those without

The Cooper Point Journal .erve. the Evergreen community and the
greater Thurston/Mason counties area by producing a newspaper that
alms to re6ect the interests of the Evergreen rommunity.
The CoopeI' Point Journal serves the students of Evergreen by offering a
laboratory where students can learn about newspaper modus operandi,
lingua, culture, aeed and perspective; polish communication sldlls; experiment with ways to effectively communicate in print; supervise staff and
operations, and manage the financial affairs of a publication.
The Cooper Point Journal editors, staff and advisor encourage and support the dissemination of information and opinion/viewpoint, particularly
information and opinion/viewpoint which Increase muiticultural understanding and confront injuStice and c:tisa1mination.
The Coop" Poi,,' Journlll has
developed a newspaper editing and
design style that makes the paper more accessible and responsive to
the community. We have expanded the format and size of the
newspaper to a ronstant of 16 pages a week. ThIs has aJlowed more
and varied student input including weekly columns and a full page of
cartoons. The busineas department has raised the ren:m rate on billings
to over 85'l!. a8 well as organizing the Archives and interpreting and
correcting many past billing errors. Overall the new organizational
framework will allow the paper to be viable even after the present
staff departs.
A central theme of the student rights movement has been to gain control 01 S&tA fees. At Evergreen, although student money pays for S&rA
professional staff positions, students have" no formal authority to determine
who fills those positions, nor do students have a formal route to
evaluating those staff members. By assuming appointment authority for
the DIrector of Student Activities, students will be In a position to make
final decisions about the scope and direction of the S&tA program as a
whole.
The S&rA Board has been chosen to hold this authority because of its
historical stability and for lis accountability to the new Student Union. In
addition, greater responsibility placed with students within this context Is
consistent with the goals and intent of the S&tA program.
S&tA Reorganization plans to present their reorganization proposal to the
Board of Trustees in May.
The S&tA Board In compliance with the Evergreen Administrative Code
allocates S&:A fees in a manner which:
-enhances student life
-promotes the autonomy of the student body constituency
-considers direction outllned In the Slrategic Pum of T£SC
-is adaptive to the changing needs of the Evergreen Community
-recognlzes and promotes diversity of expression
Since the strategiC planning council final report which recommended a
shift in emphasis from programming intercollegiate athletics to programming wellness, the division of Recreation and Athletics has done just
thai, while continuing to provide a hig}ler level of athletic participation
for some students who desire to play soccer or to swim Intercollegiately.
In additi"n to providing uniforms and other supplies for soccer and
swimming S &: A funding provides for the Athletic Training service
which has been available to all students, and which has been supervised
by Arno Zaske, who Is also a rertified athletic trainer.
Umoja's mission is to provide resources and services related to African
American culture for Evergreen's AfriczIl American students and the college community at large. Umoja provides a culturaUy supportive atmosphere and recognizes events Significant to African American history.
Umoja st~lves to open lines of communication with other African
American organizations, especially Black student organizations throughout
the Padftc Northwest.

The Evergreen indian Center (EIC) was created primarily to serve the
needs of American indian and Alaskan Native students at The Evergreen
State College which were not being met through the existing channels.
EIC seeks to promote sovereignty and self-determination among all in- '
dlgenous people. The EIC provides limited support services and advocates
(within staff and budgetary limitations) on behalf of Indian students, as
we.ll as social and cultural opportunities. The EIe maintains support of
the Long House project.
Each year we . host indian speakers like Thomas Banyacya, Hopi spiritual
leader, Russell Jim, Yakima spiritual leader and environmentalist, to come
speak to the Evergreen community on a variety of issues that are important to us all. Recently we brought Truman Lowe, an Ojibwe artist
from the Great Lakes area, to ~ampus and he shared his words and
artistic vision with several art programs.
Now we are planning for the second annual Siahal Night. Siahal is a
traditional gambling game that is played for fun and also settles disputes. Our purpose is to join together with the campus at large in the
splrtt of fun and to raise money for the Long House Project and an
indian Student Scho1arshlp fund.
We are also bringing the Spider Women Theater, films, documentaries,
and drum groups. as well as being involved with numerous committees
involved In Issues Important to Indian students and our people.
The Women's Center Is a student organization dedicated to the needs,
safety, ' rights and recognition of women students, staff and faculty at
The Evergreen State College. Its goals are:
1) To fight against the oppression of racism, sexism, classism, ageism,
homophobia, and other prejudices which threa ten to separate us as
women and human beings.
.
2) To protect and advocate women's equal rights at The Evergreen State
College and in the community.
3)To provide peer support for constituents through groups and drop In
appointments, as well as a liaison between women students, the Institutioo, faculty, other student groups and the community.
4) To maintain a l'e9Ource file, library, and referral network In coordination with women and women's groups in the community at large.
5) To celebrate the dlveISlty and strengths of all women, while making
In effort to incorporate and work with women from different ethnic,
IIOCiO-«:OnOmlc, and cultural backgrounds and lifestyles.
The Women's Center has worked hard this year to bring women on
campus together by sponsoring a . Women's writing group, a Women
over 40 support group, women's safety meetings and workshop, and a
group of active Political Wlmmin. Fall quarter brought the national ProChoice march, musician Alice Oi Micele, and a vigil for the slain
women of Montreal In Red Square. In March, with the Women of
Color Coalition, the L/GRC and many other student groups, we sponsored International Women's Week. It featured music, dance, poetry, discussions of reproductive rights, theater, and films.
The Asian/Pac;tflc laJe Coalition (A.P.I.c.) was created primarily to serve
the needs of Aslin/Pacific students at The Evergreen State College.
A.P.LC. Is committed to providing support services to meet these needs
throU3h involvement with the greater rommunity.

There are two graduate programs at TESC: the Masters of Environmental
StudIes (MES) and the Masters of PubUc Administration (MFA). Both are
relatively new programs (6 and 10 years respectively), and have an
evenly combined constituency of over 225 active students on campus.
Cla8ge8 are scheduled In the evening and students are typically older
than undergraduates with most holding jobs In the professional environment. Originally, both groups were served by a single graduate student
coordinator, but this arrangement proved unsatisfactory In April 1989, It
was decided that the IOOpe of the graduate program as a whole would
best be served by If the MES and MPA programs each had a coordinator while maintaining a common emphasis to develop a graduate
community Within each dIsc:1pllne. The success of this new arrangement
has been immediate, resulting In over fourteen new events and services
slated for the 1989/90 academic year.

Coke sweetened .A partheid?
by Jon Epstein
It's spring aDocation time for Student
Activities and a time of mass confusion
and misunderstandings.
How can we have more students every
year and yet IW more money for stlllkfll
groups? Is there a clandestine movement
on the part of the S&A Board to
undennine student organizations?
Come to our allocation discussions
next week and find ouL There are
basically two reasons student groups are
unlikely to see much increase in their
budgets over the next decade. For one
thing more students bring more needs for
that pot of money. More students mean
more student organizations want to be
funded.
More students mean more
pressure on professional staff to provide
more services.
The two things I hear student
coordinators request the most is need for
office space and the need f(X more
professional staff.
Both these things
Speaking of big
require big bucks.
bucks, the cost of building the new
addition to the CAB building is $1.5
million. S&A plans to borrow most of
the money.
This will commit many
future Greeners to paying off the loan.
The good news is that many people
around here have worked hard f(X a
number of years to come to an Bgn'JCment
about "student office space." The amount
of S&A dollars that will go towards
paying for the CAB remodel will be
much less than had the college chosen a
more "lraditional" route.
Those of you who have not been
here very long may not know that the
college "Administration" gave student
groups 10 years notice on their
occupancy of the third floor of the
Library building. That was 10 years ago.
It could be argued that past S&A Boards
have been irresponsible by aUocating 100
much money. They could have started
saving money many years ago which
would have reduced the burden that you
and I must suffer today.
It is my
perception
that
many
student
organizations on campus were created
during these "fat times" of irresponsible
fiscal managemenL
Student groups
should be aware that the increase of
students on campus, which leads to the
need for more professional staff to
provide services, combined with the costs
of remodeling translates to less dollars 10
spread around to sLudenL groups.
We all agree that Congress should
have the guts to make the cuts necessary
to bring down the deficit right up until
they start talking about cULting our
favorite programs. Politics is a thankless
task. Leftists like myself may rejoice in
the fact that the United States is on a
decline as a world military and economic
power, bUL this also means the standard
of living in America is faDing for all of
us. More on this theme next weeki

writing about issues of racism is
unethical. There is no objective truth;
what you write is a result · of your
perspective and experiences, and the color
of your skin is the key factor shaping
your experiences of racism in our SOCietY,.
Your ·experiences and knowledge (like
mine) are fundamentaUy diffemlt from
those of people of color. (If your
marriage has affected your experiences,
then identify yourself as a white person
married to an African-American man.)
Failing to identify yourself as white
implies the arropnt and incorrect
assumption that the col(X of your skin in
our racist society does not lffect what
you write, and hence denies the reality of
racism. It also lets people asswne that
you are African-American, which is
misleading at best and dishonest at worst.
Journalistic and political integrity require
that YOlJ identify yourself as white, to
clarify the source of your eJtperiences and
the limits of your knowledge of people of
color, and also to set an example for
other white, people of a white person
taking a stand against racism.
I support your choice to address
issues of racism in print White people
have a responsibility to educate ourselves
and other white people about ,racism, and
writing articles is one way to do so. But
as a white. person. you do not have the
autb<Xity to speak for black people or to
patetnalisUcally assume a' knowledge of
African-American culture to which you
do not have access. Why write for an
African-American newspaper J'IIIber than
seeking out f<XurnS f<X addressing white
people? African-Americans do not need
white people to educate them about
racism, but white people certainly do.
I wonder how accurately or
completely you described the criticisms of
you made by Umoja members. Athough
I cannot be certain based on your article,
I suspect that I share most (X all of their
criticisnis. and I hope that you will take
their ideas and mine as construetive. I
offer my criticism with respect and in the
hope that you will use it to broaden your
analysis, reevaluate your methods, and
heighten your effectiveness as a white
person working to end racism.

meaningful oppOsition to U.S. f<Xeign
policy as entailing.a bit more than words.
I don't want sonY; earnest pseudo-radical
to preach to me &bout the virtues of the
FMLN, usually from the omniscient
height of her (X his white middle class
affluence. Who are they to pick sides in
someone else's war'l Are these the same
people who don't want to see the United
States ever get involved .in armed
conflict?
It's evident that die double standard
exists 'btanse too many U.S •. citizens,
regardless of professed liberalism, devalue
lives in developing nations. Let them
fight, this culturaUy racist reasoning goes,
at least it's not us.
These people also ignore the fact
that we are not the only external
influence on the situation. Do they think
the AK-47s the FMLN uses are grown by
campesinos in their fields on little
Kalishnikov trees? The people of El
Salvador . are caught up in another
inevitable power struggle between the
world's bullies. This intolerable reality
cannot persist.
Whatever happened to pacifism as
an enobling trait amongst my progressive
peers? Wby is there no longer reverence
for the non-violent methods , of social
refonn practiced by Mohandas K:. Gandhi,
Martin Luther King, and others? Could it
be that we are buying into the
conservative mentality of using violence
as a cure-aD, and meeting reaction with
reaction? I think many like 10 posture,
and pretend to be make-believe
revolutionaries. Why don't they keep
fantasizing, watch "Rambo" movies, and
leave El Salvador alone?
It's encouraging that the latest news
has the FMLN sitting down to seriously
consider forming a coalilion with
opposition parties to face ARENA at the
poIls next year. This will be a
disappointment to those who- Ict their
voyeuristic jollies from , the perpetuation
of conflict in El Salvador• . Yet it is
heartening to those of us who Ilave a true
respect for humanity, and nOt just the
side with the "better" fighten. .
The recent student referendum on El
Salvador wasn't a bad starL It is not
patronizing to work f<X peace in strifetom countries. Send a message to your
govemrnent- whether it be through civil
disobedience, marches, or letters. Just
don't pretend to have aD the answers.
After all, you attend a school that
sells "No habla espanol, shmuck" buttons
in its bookstore. Conservatives don't hold
a monopoly on intolerance.

Well thank you Ms. Hall for taking
the time to write me. H you remember in
the very beginning of this silly argument,
my question to you was, "Why don't you
identify yourself as someone of European
descent?w The only reason why I asked
that question was because I believe it is
very different to write about the
community of African descent when you .
yourself are not of African descenL I say
that because I think you can give people
the wrong repesentation. Apparently that
has happened several times before. I
know that it is a stt7eotype that all
people of African descent look alike as
well as think alike, however, I didn't
think that you Ms. HaIl would faD into
that trap because as you just stated you
are and have been in relationships with
people of African descenL Ms. Hall I
(Heather) was the one who addressed the
question, not "8 vocal few w or not

According to Dan Kass, bartender for

the restaurant The medium proclaimed
the bouse to be full of ghosts. including
one of a young lady who likes to sit at
one of the bar SIrois.
Despite the great DlDnbers of ghosts
purportedly haunting the buillting, only a
select few bave seen them. Sally, one of
the owners of the Seven Gables, is one
of those privileged few.
Sally lived and worked in the Seven

whites to ask more from blacks than they
would be expected to be asked
themselves. To request an opinion from a
person of color because of their color
often is considered rude and unthinking,
helping neither person involved to come
to a better understanlting.
The method which some Umoja
students encourage is for whites to seek:
answers from themselves, in part as a
,race, but perhaps more importantly as
individuals. This sentiment is echoed by
a slowly increasing number of whites,
including Clarence Glover, who has
written a carefully considered "guide" for
the New White Person (see accompanying
article). Glover's technique heralds the
coming of a raciaDy just society in which
all people will \)e sensitive to the
aspirations of olbers.
In American society--yes, on the
Evergreen campus--most people are
rugged individualists, which should bode
weD for the possibility that Glover's New
White population will grow. Through
self-examination we intelligently challenge
our systems of belief and create insightful
modes of living, which will allow for the
New White 10 come of age. As Glover
implies, however, dlis evolution will meet

From die Phoenix racial justice
conference also came a list of terms with
this preface: "Self-definition - is [an]
important component of self-determination
and assertion of rights. " The self-identity
of die "New White Person" will
effectively create die equivalent of a new
race (or sub-race, if the biological tie to
"white" is difficult for die reader to
sever). Then the New White Person will
be subject 10 racism from diose who
disagree with the ~mises set ford! in
the evolving doctrine.
The new race, as it· attempts to
"wrest control" from die power elite,
almost certainly will come under attack
from more traditional or conservative
thinkers. It is unfortunate that this clash
must occur, but just as inevitable. Most
important will be the necessity for the
New White Person not to become
pompous in his or her righteousness.
Factions formed by self-pride cannot help
but fan prejudicial flames.
AccordDlgly, the transition at college,
national, and world leveis wiD be slow
enough not to cause an unpredictable
reaction. Again, minorities will be urged
10 be patient as the gradual process of
majority awakening plods along.

community.

"The most striking feature about him
was
his
enormous
head.
Its
circumference was about that of a man's
waist From the brow there projected a
huge bony mass like a loaf, while from
the back of his head hung a bag of
spongy fungus-looking skin, the surface
of which was comparable to brown
cauliflower...The nose was merely a lump
of flesh, only recognizable as a nose
from ilS position...the back was horrible
because from the back of it hung .. .huge
sacklike masses of flesh covered by the
same loathsome cauliflower stain ... "
The young doctor Treves (Bob
Stalder) recites this litany while Timothy
Day, the actor playing John Merrick, the
Elephant Man, stands stage center.
Behind him a projected slide of the real
Merrick clicks into empty space, every
bit as hideous as the doctor describes
him, his ironically normal penis dangling
amidst thick, gnarled limbs and those
bloated sacks of flesh. The only other
normal body part, his left arm, hangs at
his side, as though awaiting a shellac of
blight and puffmess to complete this
unbelievable Halloween costume. But
Day, an Evergreen graduate, wears no
costume; he simply twists his mouth to
one side, crooks his back, holds his right
hand stomach level to portray the "fingers
like !hick tuberous roolS," and leans on a
cane (in addition to his deformed legs
and spine, Merrick was hobbled from
childhood hip disease). Clad only in a
diaper, he turns to display each blighted
area as the doctor describes it, then
shuffles off stage. But his eye:; linger in
the mind. They are like a small child's
eyes, wide and round, incredulous,
absorbent; set in the face of a human
monster, they seem most ironic of all.
The Elephant Man is the story of
John Merrick, hideously deformed,
bounced from a workhouse to virtual
slavery as a sideshow freak, rescued from
that by Dr. Frederick Treves and housed
in London Hospital until his death six
years later. Pomerance condensed the
story into twenty-one scenes and added
paradoxical elemenlS to a story already
rife with that quality; Merrick, who may
have been !he ugliest ·man to ever live,
was also an avid reader, a poetry lover,
MARCH
a Bible enthusiast, and deeply romantic.
Wi!h his good hand he constructed a
model of St. Phillip' s Church, which he
presented to his friend Mrs. Madge
Kendall, and which is now exhibited,
alongside his skeleton, at the London
Hospital Medical College.
Pomerance uses this material as a
springboard for musings on !he duality of
human nature, and appearance versus
reality. At the beginning of the play, a
slide show alternates between snapsholS
of Victorian England and sideshow
freaks. In one scene various characters
comment on how Merrick's personality
resembles their own; as Treves observes
in a later scene, "we have polished him
like a mirror, and shout hallelujah when,
he refleclS us to the inch."
The play also has a bilateral
symmetry. In scene 8, Merrick is upset
over an orderly who has been fired for
peeking at him. Treves tells him, "It is
just the way things are." In scene IS,
Merrick uses the same words to tum
away Ross, his former manager, who is
dying and needs the Elephant Man for
financial support In the third scene,
Treves presenlS Merrick to his colleagues
and delivers the litany of affiiction; in the
eighteen!h Treves suffers a nightmare in
which Merrick presents him to a
concerned audience of pinheads, using the
same clinical cadences: "The most
striking feature about him, note, is the
terrifyingly nonnal head. This allowed
him to lie down normally, and therefore
to dream in the exclusively personal
manner, without the weight of other's
dreams accumulating to · break his
neck ...From the brow projected a normal
vision of benevolent enlightenment, what
we believe to be a kind of selfmesmerized state... The right arm was of
enormous power...The left arm was
slighter and fairer, and may be seen in
typical position, hand covering the
As the Elephant Man
genitals ..."
becomes more and more what others
want him to be, the doctor becomes less
and less what he seemed to be.
Day, as Merrick, carries the show.
Every step he takes is shaky, every line
lightly punctuated with smacks of his
twisted lips. To render the mutated right
arm he bends his middle finger back so
rigidly !hat for most of !he show I
thought it had been amputated. But he
also conveys Merrick's inner self, his wit,
his hysterical joyous weeping at the
kindness of the farst woman to formally
receive him. Bob Stalder, as Treves, and
Stephanie Humphal, as Mrs. Kendall,
provide supple reinforcement. Kudos also
to Andrew Gordon, Jason Haws, Anna
Villines, and Rebekah Allison, who
portray fifteen different roles .between the
five of them. TESC's Ed Trujillo direclS;
Greeners malce up half of the cast (Day,
Villines, Haws, Humphal) and almost all
of the technical crew. Catch it before it
vanishes.

ANnClRlST PICNIC
(NO LAIIIlL)
by Andrew Hamlin
Good, kind, gentle Dan Snuffin is the
headline .writer for the Cooper Point
Journal. He is also the vocalist,llyricist
for the Acid Zombies, a rockin" trippin',
smoke-coming-out-of-the-ears,
flippin'
combo from way-out Gig Harb<x'. . I
dwmo, I always thought Gig Harbor was
a mellow place, yeah, sit around watch
the boalS come in, right.. uh, let's see, is
this like, a folk tape or...hnimm .. ."No
birth control/Shouldn't screw at alI/Even
with AIDS/That's what God says/The
Pope is a dope/Hang him on a rope.. ."
*BINGI* thanks for playing, here's a
copy of our home game.
Dan has three major lyrical subjects:
the condemnation of organized religion
and the right-wing agenda in America,
the joy of .household pelS, and the sensual
bankruptcy
of
modem
existence.
AIIlichrlst PictUc's most hilarious moment
comes on "Catholic Cat," a supposedly
true story about a lady who "sent in
bucks/and
filled
out
an
twenty
application/to the United Christian
Church/and Ministerial Association/I'hey
sent a preacher's license/and her cat was
ordained/CATIlOLIC · CAT KNOWS
WHERE IT'S AT/MEOW MEOW
MEOW PRAISE TIlE LORD/HOLY
FUCKING FELINE!" (What the Catholic
Church and the U.C.C.M.A. have in
pisslFred doesn' t shit/Fred doesn't eat/and
Fred never sleeps/Fred is made of
cardboanl/Nice kitty-kitty-kitty")
the
Psycho
Bunny
("Cute
fluffy
monster/gnaws on your bones") and the
who
regurgitates
unseen
puppy
"undigested dog food" on the tormented
singer's carpel Dan renders them all with
vivid barks, meows, squeals, and ragged ·
shoulS, each onomatopoetic sound
mocking the ragged invective of a
possessed preacher. If Dan had a mind
to, he could strap a pyramid on his head
and channel dead housepelS for anguished
housewives.
Guitarist Pete Johnston is right on
the job--his solos sound like he's being
pushed down a flight of stairs, and that's
just what Dan's lyrics need. Yes, Saxon
Smith's bass sounds like a whale burping.
Yes, Remington's dnunming could be
mistaken for the tap-dancing of Ted
Bundy's feet on the death chamber floor.

No one \mows whether Violetta will
have the power to implement the
sweeping changes outlined in her
campaign and victory speeches. The
Sandanistas still control over 40% of the
National Assembly, enough to block any
constitutional amendmenlS. Most of the
changes, including giving property back
to former owners, would require a drastic
change in the Nicaraguan constitution.
Chamarro runs into other problems

parties and several right-wing parties,
Violetta will have a hard time with unity
wi!hout continued U.S funding and CIA
organizing.
Beyond the uncertainty lies an
extremely volatile scenario.
The
Sandinistas have given the guns back to
the peasants. These campasinos will not
willingly give back the land to the rich.
In the forth coming crisis, Violetta might
feel the need to rule by decree. Under
Nicaraguan constitution, the president can
ignore the National Assembly and the
Constitution during a national emergency.
One road block remains for
Chamarro: the Sandinista Army. Barring
the small and unpopular Contras, the new
government has no way to force change.
The United States marines might try
to "liberate" Nicaragua for the 31st time
in 150 years. Press wolves beware, the
Nicaragua invasion watch continues.

Huge forest tracts reserved for owls
by Barrett WOke
"We have concluded that the owl is
imperiled over signiflcant portions of its
range. Current management strategies are
inadequate to ensure its vitality." -- Jack
Ward Thomas, et al. in the conclusion·of
their report on Northern Spotted Owls
The fate of the last remaining
Northwest old-growth forests finally is
with long-tenn
being considered
repercussions in mind. Many of the
region's inhabitants are in an uproar.
A team of blue-ribbon scientists from
the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of
U.S. Fish and
Land Management, and
Wildlife finished their exhaustive report
on the status of the Nm1hern Spotted
Owl last week. The study is expected to
be the basis for new legislation' for the
troubled timber industty. The cammittee,
which was led by Forest Service biologist
Jack W. Thomas, carries a lot of clout
because their recommendations were
arrived at without political considerations
and were only concerned with saving the
owl from extinction.
The study recommended a shocking
total of 6.S million acres of public forests
in Washington and Oregon be set aside
for Habitat Conservation Areas (HCA's).
In Washington, 44 ttacts of forest land
totalling 3.25 million acres on both public
andpriyate lands would ~be unavailable
for logging. This incl~ 150,000 acres
of state and federal lands in the South
Sound region, especi8lly in Capital Forest
and Ft. Lewis Anny base.
The decision whether to adopt the used to provide fmancial support for
measure depends mainly on the U.S. Fish towns forced to convert from a raw-Iogexport-based economy to a wood
and Wildlife's decision to place tt.e owl
on either the "Endangered" or products based economy.

The relief money will most likely be outspoken critic of the ban, is now
starting to listen. Many other Washington
legislators are leaning toward supporting
the ban.
The reason for this is obvious.
Because there is a finite amount of oldgrowth timber, legislators are realizing
that a ban on raw log exports is long
overdue.
The most troublesome obstacle to
banning exports is the WashingtOn State
Constitution, which povides schools
around the state with money collected
from the export of old-growth timber.
Assuming the plan is mobilized, the
next two years will mark a significant
decline in the amount of timber available
for the local mills. The fact is, apart
from federal relief money, the only way
to save our state economy from ruin is to
implement a ban on unprocessed log
exports from public lands. .
"Public" means ours, the people. We
have the right to keep old-growth timber
in Washington, and to have a say about
how it is "managed." So far, we have
achieved only a wishy-washy "ban" on
log exports from federal lands. The rest
of exports are coming from private
forests (two-thirds) and state forests (onethird). The time is now for an all-out ban
of all unprocessed log exports, and force
the PacifIC Rim counties to purchase
completed wood products. The time is
now to straighten out the most corrupt
practice of the modem timber industty.

My Father's Son
Cherry Blossom
Cherry blossom pink arid soft,
Petals flutter-falling from aloft.
Snowy petal-down falling down,
Resting softly on her crown.
On her crown, on her crown
Fragrant petals in her down.
Hands-full of fallen petals
Sprinkle-showered on her pearls
.Curb pearl, ·lips and milky pearl
Nectar there where petals find .
Birds a-hum . with tongues athick
Savors rapture at the nectar lick.
Lick and lick leave too quick;
Tastes the flower in ·a niche
Cherry blossom full in bloom,
Ob trees, and in a shaded room.
Anther and ,stamen in intimate groom:
Fruit is fertile in her womb.
Through the air fragrants waft
of cherry blossom pink and soft.

I was good
at running my legs couldn't reach
his expectations were high
on the top shelf
he hid things
because he never wanted me

I've learned to hide
from everyone
many things
have taught me
to run and I've learned
not to touch.
