Security, responding to numerous
complaints, began impoWlding dogs on
campus Tuesday. Security officer Kurt
Talmadge began leashing the dogs at
around 1 pm and taking them to the
school's kennel behind LAB II. Talmadge
claimed the complaints stemmed from
dogs entering the CAB and begging for
food.
The school, which has had a leash
ordinance since the fall of 1988, is liable
if someone is biuen. Although the
ordinance is widely ignored, Talmadge
said the dogs have just become too much
of a problem .
He said he picked some of the dogs
up two weeks ago, and now does it when
he has the time for the "low priority
job."
Security will try to contact all the
owners, Talmadge claimed, but the
school 's kennel can only hold the dogs
for a short time. The dogs that are
impounded only stay in the kennel for
one or two days before being sent to the
city pound.
Quote of the Week
"Secret court ' proceedings are a trait of ,
totalitarian governments. Once a step is
taken down that slippery slope, no telling
where it will stop."
"This is a part of the job I do not
particularly enjoy ," said Talmadge as he
leashed another dog (Dusty), and a yOWlg
boy berated him with, "you better not
take another dog, you bener not take
him."
if you are missing a dog, please' call
security at X6J40 and claim it before it is

massive 330+- page Self-Study entitled
"Constancy and Change" prepared by
Evergreen staff and faculty.
The Self-Study, which the Northwest
Association of Schools and Colleges
requires all colleges and universities 10
prepare in order to receive accreditation,
is a self-styled "honest attempt to assess
where The Evergreen State College is
and where it is going."
While the report gave Evergreen
unusually high marks, NASC, drawing
from the Self-Study did cite a few
criticisms. The most serious criticism
concern Evergreen's lack of basic Math
and Science instruction, especially at the
core level, and the lack of opportunities
for students interested in the arts.
According to Smith, this apparent
lacle of basic instruction in Math and the
Sciences derives from some of the basic
philosophies of the Evergreen model of
education.
Other, more lr.iditional colleges and
universities require students 10 declare
majors and then dictate the courses in
and outside of that major that the student
must take. This process exposes students
to a variety of disciplines outside of their
criticisms," said that the administration's
response "went in the direction of
decreasing the likelihood of students not
meeting professors in [Math, Science, and
the ArtS]."
In addition, in July of 1989, TESC
hired mathematician Rafael Marino 10
direct a "math across the curriculum"
project to make an effort to expose
students to more, quantitative studies at
the Core Program level.
Other, more minor, areas of
criticisms touched on by the Self-Study
and NASC's report include inadequacies
in the Library, the Academic Advising
office, and the lack of Assessment.
The accreditation prOcess, according
to Smith, exists as a method of
determining whether "the College does
what it claims to be doing." While the
criticisms are relatively serious, on the
whole the report of the Northwest
Association of Schools and Colleges
not

major.
Evergreen, on the other hand, gives
students conttol over the courses and the
programs they take, therefore exposure 10
disciplines outside of a students
immediate interest is limited to the
interdisciplinary nature of their program.
While
this
student-centered
philosophy is a source of strength of an
Evergreen education, the Self-Study and
NASC's report alleged. it is also the
source of the lack of Math and Science
exposure.
"A lot of students see Evergreen as
a way to go to college without having to
take any Math or Science," Smith said.
"There's a large faculty sentiment
that there's a need for a stronger
exposure to quantitative reaSoning, "Smith
continued, "on the other hand, there's a
commitment 10 the notion that students
have the right to choose their own
curriculum. "
Out of this quandary between
student rights and the need for more
quantitative reasoning exposure came the
current solution to NASC's criticism.

VeteranslReservists group forms
by Stephen Martin
Military veterans and active-duty
students and faculty of The Evergreen
State College now have an organized
forum to discuss issues regarding their
participation in the armed forces.
The Evergreen Veterans'!Reservists'
group was formed last fall to help
address the needs and concerns of
veterans and active military personnel in

position was , te~.na~e(kdue to \ludget
cuts nearly ten years ago.
According to Hugh Moag, the groups
organizer and a student at Evergreen,
vete~ and acti~e duty students have
special needs which must be addressed
on campus.
"When I left the Marines, I was told
that sixty percent of ,the servicemen who
leave the military to attend college drop
out after six months and return to active
duty. I feel that we should do something
10 keep more veterans in the classroom,"
said Moag.
According to Judith Huntley, assistant
to the Dean for Registration and Records,
there are 198 military veterans and active
personnel attending Evergreen this year.
"We expect that number to remain
about the same over the next couple of
years," said HWltley.
The
organization,
which
was
recognized in September by the S&A
Board, went before the board on Monday,
January 21 10 become a funded student
organization an obtain an annual budget.
The budget would provide money for oncampus presentations and other activities.
On Monday, the Veterans/Reservists
group requested $3,150 in S&A funds to
help finance a presentation by Wallace
Terry at Evergreen on February 20.
Terry, a Vietnam war correspondent for
Time magazine, is the author of the bestselling book Bloods, which documents the
experiences of black soldiers in Vietnam.
Additional funding for the Terry
presentation was provided by Umoja,
EPIC, APIC, and MEChA.
The group also hopes to sponsor a
presentation by Ron Kovic, author of
Born of the Fourth of July, sometime in
the spring. Individual members of the
organization plan to do volunteer work
on the farm of a local veteran who is
dying of cancer caused by exposure to

the

provides
support for Evergreen veterans who may
have mixed feelings about their previous
military service. The organization also
pl'Ol1de!i military reserve students with
advice on ways to get out of their service
obligations, and help for some veterans
who find the Evergreen environment too
liberal, ~ who have trouble adjusting to
college lif\!o
When ' asked if many veterans in the
group express concern about the prejudice
from others on campus, Moag replied, "It
is not really prevalent, aside from the
basic stereotypes. I do know of a cOuple
of veterans who have left Evergreen
because they felt out of place, however. "
Response 10 the forming of the
Veterans,iReservists group on campus has
been generally quiet. One exception is
that several posters advertising Veterans
groups meetings were tagged with graffiti
reading "Fascists!" and "Murderers!"
Moog says the Veterans/Reservists
group hopes to provide a valuable service
to the entire Evergreen community.
"More and more people are being
subjected the an 'economic draft' (joining
the military simply to get money for
college). The number of military
personnel
and
veterans
attending
Evergreen will only increase, and this
will happen at colleges allover the
country. Our group wants to help
Evergreen students by providing a
reference point for questions and concerns
about joining the military. We want 10
inform students who find that they must
join the military how to make the
experience positive and not negative."

issued, according to Joe Olander, "a
simply wonderful confmnation of the
great efforts on the part of faculty, staff,
and students," and reaffmned The
Evergreen State College's accreditation.
The NASC's reaffirmation of TESC's
accreditation assures that credits earned
by students at Evergreen actually mean
something to the "outside" world.
"There was no doubt about that," said
Byron Youtz, faculty member and provost

The real issue, Youtz said, was the

Confirmation hearings:
Trustee Girvin challenged
by Tina Cook
Diana
Meyer, a
member of
Evergreen's first graduating class, was
told to leave the witness stand last
as
she
protested
the
Thursday
conflI'Jllation of Lila Shaw Girvin as a
college trustee.
"Please remove yourself or I'll have
you removed," Senate Higher Education
Committee Chairman Gerald Saling, RSpokane, IOld Meyer.
Meyer was trying 10 challenge
Girvin's conflI'Jllation because Girvin had
supported Evergreen President Joseph
Olander when he was accused of
falsifying his resume by faculty members
David Hitchens and Craig Carlson in
December.
At the beginning of her testimony,
Meyer said it is of "critical importance 10
seek truth and not be swayed by
obstacles that come into your path."
Meyer said her faith in truth had
been tested by, "the Evergreen presidency
under Joseph Olander."
As soon as Olander was mentioned,
Saling banged his gavel. "We will not
speak of the president of that institution."
Meyer tried to talk about the Dec. 13
Board of Trustees meeting and Saling
stopped her again. He advised her 10
confme
her
remarks 10 Girvin's
competence.
"The quality of an individual is based
on that individual's actions," Meyer
objected. After rephrasing her complaints
and being ruled out of order three more
times, Saling told Meyer 10 remove
herself from the stand.
"I hope voters have you removed,"
Meyer said as she left.
Meyer said she would return for the
conflfJllation hearings of two other
appointed trustees who took part in the
decision to back Olander.
After the meeting, the Evergreen
Teacher Education graduate said she had
been discouraged by the "head in the
sand syndrome" at Evergreen and the
"spinelessness of the faculty."
"Whether what Hitchens and Carlson
say is true or not, the trustees dido't
listen to both sides. Who gets sold down
the river next?"
Hitchens had been quoted in The
Olympian as saying he would attend the
meeting, but was not there.
According to The Olympian, Hitchens
submitted a letter to the senate committee
outlining why he thought Girvin's
appointment should not be conflI'Jlled and
said there was nothing he could add to
it.
Girvin, a Spokane resident, was
appointed 10 the Board of Trustees by the
Governor in October. The Senate must
confirm all nominated trustees.
At the conflI'Jllation hearing, Saling
asked Girvin about her qualifications for
the post
When asked what her role would be
if policy and the administration were in
conflict, Girvin said, "My role is to make
policy and see that the college follows its
mission."
After Meyer's testimony, Evergreen
student Randy Parr took the stand..
"I object to the appointment merely
on the grounds that I'd like to see a
student appointed," he said.
Saling told him the Governor has
nominated students in · the past and the
matter would best be taken up with him.
Olander attended the meeting,
testifying for a Senate Bill on the flI'St

KAOS-FM expands with CAB
by S, Martin
KAOS, Evergreen's community radio
station, will undergo a multi-faceted
expansion as part of the remodeling of
the S&A offices on the third floor of the
CAB Building.
As a result of the expansion, the new
KAOS facilities will occupy 1833 square
feet, contain ncw broadcasting equipment,
and offer more services.
KAOS went on the air in January
1973 as a small 10 watt station designed
to serve the main campus of Evergreen.
The station increased the power of its
signal to 250 watts in 1977, allowing
broadcast to the greater-Olympia area.
The signal was increased again in 1980
to 1500 watts, sufficient power to reach
nonh to Fort Lewis and south 10
Rochester.
A major focus of the renovation will
be to create a morl'. comfortable and
tcchnologically advanced work space in
the on-air and production studios. The
station's reception area will be relocated
where the S&A offices currently exist. A
second small control room will be added,
as will anothcr small studio, possibly for
use as a news room .
The power output of the station will
not increase, however.
Funding for the initial stage of the
expansion,
bctween
$125,000
and
$150,000, will come from the $1.5
million bond issue that S&A fees will
undcrwrite 10 construct new student
activities offices on one side of the CAB
building.

Commerce to help purchase new mixing

Olander withdraws;
Montana position remains
by Tina Cook
Evergreen President Joseph Olander
withdrew his application from the
Commissioner of Higher Education for
Montana position last Thursday.
Olander was the only finalist after
Warren Fox of Nevada withdrew his
application the day before, citing his
attachment
to
Nevada
and
his
unhappiness with the fmancial offer made
by Montana, according 10 The Olympian.
Olander had previously said he was
enthusiastic about the Montana position.
In a short statement distributed on
campus, Olander said, "there were many
important
family
and
professional
considerations which entered inlO this
decision."
He did nJt elaborate.
Olander has recently been the subject
of criticism on campus. First, when he
forced the resignation of Provost Patrick
Hill in June, then when he was accused
of dislOrting his resume by professors
David Hitchens and Craig Carlson in
December.
Olander looked to the future when
cO:Jcluding his statement.
"We at
Evergreen have a lot of exciting work
ahead of us. I am 'committed to working
with the community and to serving the
best interests of the college."

Veteran's Administration told me.
Because I am taking an individual
contract, I am ineligible for the funds
that I "crawled on my belly" to receive.
In the true spirit of the U.S. Military,
which regards the basic individual human
being as scum, the V.A. refuses to pay
benefits to any students whose military
bottom is not in a chair, being instructed
a certain amount of hours each week.
The V.A. does not trust that an individual
will really learn unless under regular
supervisio!1.
The posters do not say there are
limitations. The recruiters will not tell
you that you must adhere to military
guidelines for the benefits. You find out
these facts after marching to the beat of
the rigid. humorless, warmongering
institution in which you find yourself.
And after doing this, you will realize that
you are pan of the huge problem of the
national debt instead of pan of the
solution.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy reserves
as a way of obtaining an education. The
irony of my situation, is that I have
obtained my most "real" education by
attending free lectures on Central
America, by reading literature which
reveals the U.S. imperialistic goals, by
listening to national public radio, and by
reading the newspapers. I realize now
that in ignorance, I enlisted into an
institution which is systematically trying
to wipe out all hope of the world's
people for life without war, poveny, and
disease..
To any individual who is thinking
about the reserves as a way of paying for
their education, I hope that they study
their own morals and the morality of the
U.S. military mission before accepting a
role in that institution.
A draft workshop is being held in
February in order to inform the young
men in this community of their rights,
obligations and options. Contact the Peace
Center for more information.

Much of the language used in the
new law of Evergreen, is vague and
ambiguous. This cannot be a mistake.

wording, who interprets the law? Those

Opinion
U.S. aids Sandinistas
by Dan Snuffin
There is no question the Bush
administtation is pleased with the
successful invasion of Panama and the
capture of General Manuel Noriega The
operation dispelled the President's "wimp
image" and also demonstrated America's
dctermination in bringing its enemies in
the "war on drugs" to justice.
However, I don't believe that the
Bush administration is prepared for the
most serious consequence of its invasion
of Panama; the effect it will have on the
Nicaraguan elections. Looking back on
the events of the last month brings to
light the offenses commiued against the
Nicaraguan government.
It should be obvious that the actions
of the U.S. military put the Nicaraguan
government on edge. During the invasion,
the Sandanista army mobilized tanks and
set up military positions in Managua,
ready to protect the capital in case the
invasion spread.
At the same time
Nicaragua, along with the majority of
members in the Organization of American
States, voiced their opposition and
condemned the invasion.
To aggravate the situation, U.S. army
troops illegally entered the residence of
the Nicaraguan Ambassador to Panama,
searching for an arms cache. The soldiers
claimed they had no idea it was the
Ambassador's residence, even though it
was clearly marked and u .S. troops had
been patrolling the area since the
beginning of the invasion.
Furthermore, this blatant violation of
diplomatic protocol was not taken very
seriously by the Bush administration.
The president sent his "regrets" about the
incident and instead capitalized on the
numerous weapons found . in the
residence.
What effect will these offenses have
on the elections?
First, it brings the threat of a U.S.
invasion of Nicaragua one step closer to
reality. The country is now surrounded,
with Contras at the Honduran border and
the U.S. forces only a few hundred miles
to the south. The Panama invasion will
certainly be used as another argument for
dissolution of the contra rebels. The
reinforcement of the Centtal American
image of the United States as an
aggressor will bring both diplomatic and
voter support to the Sandanistas.
Second, it may draw voter support
away from the main opposition candidate.
Last year, Violetta Chamorro visited the
United States looking for advice and
support. It is possible that now these ties
could be used against her. Even a slight
loss of votes would be harmful to the
opposition's already questionable chances
of winning the election.
With these two ideas in mind, it
looks as if the invasion of Panama could
give the Sandanistas the boost they need
to assure victory in the February
elections. The Bush Administration
certainly wouldn't be too happy about
that.
The final question is; would the reelection of the Sandanistas bring on a
u.S. invasion of Nicaragua? It is doubtful
our government could rally support or
acceptance of such a move at home or"in
he international community . Yet Defense
Secretary Dick Cheney, when asked about
Nicaragua on CNN on January 6, said, "I
think as a general propoSition, we always
reserve all of our options when we look
down the road. But at this point, I
would not like to indicate that we plan to
use force there."
Truly, only time will tell.
Dan Snuffin is a student at
Evergreen, a CPJ staff writer and
headline writer.
CPJ needs full time advisor
by John Epstein
Apparently, the Communications
Board has a "CPJ Survival Committee."
These people are considering what will
become of the student newspaper. One
possibility being discussed is scrapping
the Cooper Point Journal. I think this is
a bad idea. I have watched the CPJ exist
as a floundering student paper for some
time. Each year it has risen and fallen
dcpcnding on the kind of leadership and
commitment inside the organization.
Although the CPJ has experienced many
highs and lows, it has also maintained a
degree of stability. It has alwa~'s
maintained its position as a floundering
student paper.
To illustrate my point I offer the
following example. When I arrived at
TESC in 1975 there was a floundering
student newspaper and a 10 watt radio
station that was difficult to hear off
campus. In those fifteen years the CPJ
has maintained its position as a
floundering paper. The CPJ faces the
same problems and conflicts today as it
has for many years. The amount of time
spent in circular, powerless discussion
surrounding this issue is considerable.
ThankJull y, the situation at the 10watt radio station is much different.
KAOS has seen significant growth and
change over the last fifteen years.
Broadcasting with 1500 watts in stereo
KAOS can be heard in most of the
KAOS,

representing one of the larger volunteer
organizations (over 100 volunteers) in the
County, broadcasts 365 days a year at
least 18 hours a day. KAOS has over
400 paid subscribers and half the
volunteers come from the community.
KAOS employs a number of students in
management roles providing professional
hands-on
experience
for
students
interested in media. Several KAOS
staffers have gone on to career with
National Public Radio and commercial
stations. KAOS is famous among
alternative radio producers around the
country. Inquiries about the stations
Independent Music Policy are often
requested. KAOS is reputed to have the
of
independent
largest
collection
recordings on the west coast. Plans are
now underw?y for KAOS to get Satellite
downlink equipment This would make it
possible for KAOS to broadcast special
programming that is only available if you
have the equipment to receive it. Today
KAOS faces many problems and
challenges and it would be unfair to
make it sound like all is perfect at
KAOS. These challenges raise difficult
questions for the radio station as it
continues to expand. My point is that the
challenges KAOS faces today are
different than the challenges it faced
fifteen 'years ago.
Why hasn't the CP] grown and
developed in a similar way to the growth
Part of the
experienced at KAOS?
answer is management. KAOS has
enjoyed full-time professional manager
position for about eight years. Luckily for
KAOS, Michael Huntsberger has filled
the position since its inception. He has
provided balanced as well as consistent
direction. The CPJ has never had a fulltime manager. Some smart bureaucrats
figured that since the CPJ was only
published about 10 months out of the
year they could save money by only
hiring a professional advisor on a 10
month contract. This means every year
they have to open up the application
process and it's potluck!
I think it is about time for students
and the S&A Board to make a
commiunent to a full-time manager
position at the CPJ. I think the paper
should also move to a 12 month formal.
I also think that Journalism and English
faculty should work closer with the paper
to create a quality product. I think the
CPJ could be much more than a student
newspaper. Just as KAOS has reached
out to the community, the CP] .could
become a voice for alternative print
journalism in Thurston County. Many
well-intentioned people have tried to
create a paper that represents a different
point of view from the Olympian, Impact
and the South Sound Business Examiner.
All these attempts have failed. The CPJ
is in a unique position to fill this niche.
All the CPJ lacks is a full-time manager
and some people with vision to make it
a paper of substance and power. I say
let's go for it.

Global Warming:
Bush
•
IS
by Barrett Wilke
First of all r d like to apologize to
those of you who lind little interest in an
opinion that doesn't dichotomously refute
the other debater's viewpoint Carol B.
Hall's article in the January 11 issue of
the CPJ offers an important look at the
apathy on the White House's part
regarding Global Warming.
It is infuriating to see all the
evidence that the problem is not merely
an ex tended forecast for hellish high
temperatures, but in fact a living,
breathing reality to deal with todayl It is
also infuriating to see that our selfproclaimed "environmental president"
disregards this evidence as being
insignificant
and
incomplete.
and
considers the environment "scenery" and
a place set aside for "recreation."
I overwhelming agree with Ms. Hall
that the Bush White House should pass
legislation banning chlorophorocarbons
(CFC's), adopt new emissions standards,
as well as (this is my addition to her
argument) controlling c1ear-cutting, ' and
limiting amounts of carbon dioxide
belched into the atmosphere by industrial
not ·to blame!
factories. I would also like to see Bush
present a program that gradually converts
us from fossil fuel to solar energy.
But do we really think that our
beloved leader will do anything about
this? Will he pay attention to anything
short of a disaster that overwhelmingly
interferes with his hunting and fishing
endeavors? After all. why should he? He
will be long dead and gone by the time
people are roasting in their own juices. In
order for any action to come out of the
White House there has to be a
perceivable disaster. This is the
bureaucratic way to do things: wait until
it is too late, then take action to clean
up.
For example. what Exxon executive
could truthfully deny that the Prince
William Sound oil spill was preventable
if the danger of grounding was properly
assessed? Why wasn't Exxon responsible
enough to prevent the disaster befa-e it
happened? The answer is simple: the
industria1 mind is easily caught in a rut
of not worrying about problems until it is
too late.
Indeed, in many ways, it is too late
Page 8 Cooper Point Journal February 1, 1990
to reverse the "Greenhouse" process. This
is not an environmental problem that can
be "cleaned up." It is a problem that
needs to be halted before the effects
become too severe to maintain our fragile
ecological balance.
But we cannot afford to wait for
George Bush, William Riley of the
E.P.A., George Weyerheuser, or any
existing power figures of their caliber to
bring an end to this problem. They will
not do anything!
In a way this passing of the blame
and
reluctance
to
accept
any
responsibility reflects our "affluent"
Western lifestyle. When we get sick, we
rely
on chemicals and' medical
"specialists" to treat the symptoms, but
the causes are ignored as if they have
nothing to do with the real problem.
So what am I saying? I am saying
that the problem is caused by us, the
consumers of America. The United States
is now the largest producers of waste in
the world, and per capita the users of the
most energy in the world. The
corporations are only guilty of giving us
what we wanL The President is only
guilty of glVlng
the
support they need to give us what we
want. The problem is in our lifestyles,
and we all need to understand our
fundamental role in this process in order
to bring about a change. I understand this
is not easy to accept. I have only learned
recently about my own destructive role in
the Greenhouse Effect. It is a painful
discovery. and it takes guts to work
towards improving ourselves to be less
exploitative of the Earth's resources.
But how is this done? This is the
part of the article I must leave up to you,
the reader. I have my own lifestyle to
change, and cannot begin to understand
how to change the lifestyles of other
people, for they live differently than I.
But we all must ask ourselves the
questions. for if we. rely on the scientists,
politicians, and other ·specia1ists." nothing
will ever be done. How much damage
have we done already? More importantly,
where will we be in the decades to
come?

Com.m.unity governance
It's time we as a community take
another revolutionary step and set up a
campus-wide system of representation that
is supported by a slightly altered credit
system.
According to the' Student Union,
which is the only form of student
representation on campus short of
campus-wide referendums or all-out
protest, each and every student on this
campus has a vote and a forum to
discuss pertinent problems relating to this
campus/community .
The only problem with this design is
very few of the constituents in this
voluntary democracy ever show up. This
leaves the governance structure open to
control by special interest groups and
reactionary, emergency agendas.
While some people stay away
because of lack of interest, I feel time, or
the lack thereof, deters most people. I
support the work being done by the
Student Union. But, if the Student Union
loses the few dedicated people who keep
it going, it will disappear until dedicated
people show uit again.
In the campus-wide representation
system I propose, not only students but
every person in the community would
have a vote -- tillS includes staff, faculty,
and administrators. Everyone would
attend monthly meetings held in the
largest building on campus, the unused
new gym, and participation would be
mandatory.
The whole community would attend
because a part of their contract would
specify it when they went to work for or
auended the school. Full-time students
would be given credit for attendance.
Faculty would not schedule classes during
meeting times because the community
meeting would be a part of every class.
It would be a "forced" democracy.
Students and non-students alike would
feel what it is like to be self-governing
and a part of a voting body.
Each full-time class would have two
extra credits added
under "selfgovernance" and you would, need 18 of
these credits to graduate. Three meetings
a quarter would be worth two extra
credits. To think, discuss, and vote on
issues pertaining to the community you
are most closely related to would show
the difficulties of self-governance and
teach us how to talk to one another.
This once-a-month meeting would last
all day, with agenda issues addressed by
speakers, each having a five minute limit.
Not . only would this open dialogue
between groups, but, also it would serve
as a sounding board before people felt
forced to take stronger action.
If this were incorporated into the
personality of the school, it would ll110w
us as community to govern ourselves and
foster community decision-making instead
of having decisions controlled by the
most organized political action group. We
could discuss our visions for the school
and act on those visions instead of the
legislature or small group of people at
the top of the administtative ladder. And,
it would set us apart from other
institutions and show we have a mutual
respect for all who live, learn, and work
in this community.

B-52s

TIlE B-52's WITH LOVE TRACTOR
SEATl1.E CENTER ARENA
JANUARY 14, 1990
Before the ' show even started, I knew
something was different about this B52's concert There were high-schoolers
milling around, thousands of them, with
enough hair spray, lipstick, and neon to
supply a small city. The t-shirts were
going for twenty dollars a shot--a mere
dollar fifty more than the price of
admission. When I found my seat,
though, a woman caught my eye. She
was a little older, late twenties. "Okay,
that's a plus," I thought to myself. I
noticed her hair--it was BIG. Could it
be? Yes ... she had a true B-52! I smiled
and settled in.
The B-52 's recorded their latest
album, "Cosmic Thing,"
with the
intention of finding a truer sound--one
more like they sound on stage.
It
worked. All the songs they played from
the new album sounded essentially like
the studio versions--only bigger. The
addition of four backing musicians helped
the earlier songs approach the record
sound as well.
The concert ·was basically a school
hUDl
dance, only larger.
The general
admission crowd on the floor melted into
one large organism that bobbed up in
down in unison. The band drew songs
from their new album such as, "Love
Shack," "Channel Z," and "Junebug," as
well as earlier dance classics like "Rock
Lobster," "Private Idaho," and "Planet
Claire."
The crowd clearly adored the group
members. Any twist of the hips or
change in the lyrics elicited a cascade of
screams.
The three vocalists, Fred
Schneider, Cindy Wilson, and Kate
Pierson, also urged the crowd to talk to
the Greenpeace people situated around
the building. As Schneider says in the
press release, "Being aware of what's
going on around you is as important as
having fun in the middle of it all."
Love Tractor was appreciated. They
sounded just like the Psychedelic Furs. I
thought it was funny that they hail from
Athens, Georgia and they sing with
English accents. Still, they were a fitting
prelude to a night of sweatin' and
dancin' by one of the coolest bands in
the business.

with a pre-recorded song over the p.a.
while video images of Coke, Pepsi,
Richard Nixon, Jesus, A ClocJcwork
Orange, guns & other cultural symbols
were flashed onto a 7 foot high white
star hanging above and behind the drum
set. When this was over, the band took
the stage and immediately began to play.
Using a smoke machine and lighting
from behind, they created an eerie,
quality from the outset that served the
performance well.
But it wasn't until their 4th song,
"The Hardest Walk" (from their fIrst
release, Psycliocandy), that they reaI.Iy
kicked in. Singer Jim Reid, clad in aI.I
black, was flawless, and the band backed
him up with relentless force.
The next three songs, off their latest
album Automatic, were truly driving.
Starting with "Head On", which they
combined with video images for an
excellent stage effect, they moved into
"Halfway To Crazy"; with the stage
bathed in red light, Jim Reid's virtually
motionless delivery added an extra
dimension to the song. Then came "Coast
To Coast" with guitarist William Reid

spill onto the floor. No money or
merchandise, however, has ever turned up
missing.
Norman Foster who owns the "AstroBiD Shop" says that he has seen "a pillar
of smoke swirling above a chair." He
thinks that the spirit may be trying to
manifest itself so that it can communicate
with people.
Kevin Callow, who runs the "Earth
Plants/Earth Lines" shop is not as excited
about Paddy as are other store owners.
Callow has felt a strange presence in his
store several Limes and has gone so far
as to hire an exorcist.
Despite Callow 's worries, Paddy
seems harmless enough. Perhaps he is
the ghost of an old time pirate or
smuggler who died violently. Or perhaps
he is simply a transient who is
exceptioI);Jly gifted at hide and seek.

nlE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN WITH
BLACKBIRD
THE MOORE THEATER
JANUARY 27, 1990
Sometimes expectations can be
killers. I'd never seen the Jesus and
Mary . Chain before and knowing that
they're notorious for playing IS-minute
sets, I wasn't sure what their show would
have in store.
The opening act, Blackbird, while
engaging at times, was no barn burner.
As if the singer/bassist's deadpan singing
style and heavy use of effects by the
guitar player weren't enough, they played
over a continuous drum track piped in on
the p.a. system. It sounded like a sample
off the last Sisters of Mercy album, and
tended to offset their catehy harmony
vocals. All in all their performance was
respectable, but it certainly didn't
compare to what came next.
The Jesus and Mary Chain opened

Pier 70 is one of Seattle's historic
spots. Way back in 1889, two partners, a
Mr. Ainsworth and a Mr. Dunn, built a
warehouse and the large pier. Originally
called Pier 14, it was a popular port,
attracting German and British customers.
In later years, when more piers were
added to Seattle's waterfront, Pier 14
became Pier 70.
One of the pier's many attractions,
besides quaint shops and its status as the
state's "Centennial Pier," is the supposed
residence of a ghost.
Brad Aylward, the manager of a store
on the pier has never seen any ghosts
himself but says that others call the
specter "Paddy." Witnesses describe
Paddy as a "dark-haired, bearded sailor in
a peacoat."
Several em!)loyees who work for
Aylward have felt the ghost's presence,
usually when they are alone, either
opening or closing the store. One person
reported to Aylward that Paddy has
appeared "in the mirror of a private
restroom up near the front of the store."
Amy Aylward, Brad's wife, claims
that often, after the store has closed,
someone or something will tum on the
cash registers causing the paper tapes to

(Jim's brother), providing a wal.l of
feedback at the apex.
Throughout the show the othel' band
members remained almost stationary as
they played their instruments, aI.Iowing
Jim Reid (who sang lead on aI.I songs,
even the tunes William does on record),
to wander around stage slamming his
mike stand down from time to time, and
at one point during "Blues From A Gun",
throwing it into the audience in the pit.
While the noticeable lack of movement
by the band might have doomed other
shows, Reid's powerful delivery' and
deliberate gestures served as a ·focal
point
In addition, drummer Richard
Thomas was most impressive in keeping
up the breakneck tempo of the show. His
sizzling performance made me question
the Reid brothers' use of a drum machine
on Automatic.
The set finished with "Sidewalkin'."
Jim dropped his mike and walked off
stage while brother William topped it off
with what can only be described as (with
the help of stage lights and the smoke
machine), a psychedelic feedback haze.
Unfortunately, the high energy level
performance wasn't always equally
reciprocated by the crowd, although the
area in front of the stage was jammed
with people slam dancing.
Called back for an encore, they
played 2 songs, ending the evening with
an inspired "Kill Surf City", during which

they combined aI.I aspects of their stage
show including an impressive strobe light
barrage they'd used earliel'. At the end of
that song the rest of the band left the
stage while William Reid, hunched
vigilantly over his insttument and
attempted to exorcise the ghost of
Hendrix from his guitar. Having failed,
he left the guilar on stage pouring
feedback from the p.a. After this
spectacle the house lights came on and
the pen I had with me promptly
exploded. I took this as a portentous sign.
While the show was one of the best
1've seen in a long time, it did a'C8te
one problem. When they come around
next time I'll have big expectations for
them.

JANUARY 19, 1989
There I was, at a blues concert,
but not just any blues concert This
was John Lee Hooker, the godfather of
blues--a living legend. I was in the pit
with what seemed like half the
Evergreen population, five feet from
the blues maestro, bobbing up and
down with the beat, and what do I
hear? Oh, just a large drunk guy
standing next to me screaming,
"BRING IT ON, BIG DADDY! YA,
MOMMA! DO IT AGAIN, GEORGE!"
Someone asked the guy why he was
calling John Lee Hooker "George."
The guy said, "I know him! George is
short for George Thorogood Sr. "Okay,
I have no idea what the guy meant but
with Hooker on stage I wasn't about to
take the time to figure it out
Hooker alternated between fastpaced and slow-churning heart twister
songs. The Coast to Coast Blues Band
accompanied him on soulful renditions
of, "In the Mood For Love," "Queen
Bee," and, "Fight the Rain," any many
others. His deep, Mississippi, lonelyin-a-dark-room voice commanded the
audience's aLtention and they ate it up.
This was a man who created the
cliches before they were cliches--a man
who lives what he sings about There
was no stage act, just a pioneer
authenticity.
The only fault of the show was
the length. Hooker played less than an
hour. Don't get me wrong, he was
good, but the show was just too short
Someone told me, "Yah, but he never
plays for a long time, that's just the
way he is. You just gotta' know that
he is the blues!!" I can only say,
"Okay, but he didn't play long
enough."
Little Charlie and The Nighteats
opened the show. They were supporting
their new album, "All The Way
Crazy." I don't know the band
member's names but I know they filled
some big shoes as the opening act for
Hooker. The crowd loved 'em and I
strongly recommend seeing them next
time they're around.

The Clearing
Gingerbread House
Child, won't you please pray
By the busdrlver's coin box?
Child, can I steal you away
Just In case you jump off?
Misty shadows engulfed the bald forest.
It . was like someone, a giant, walked
and left behind a trail of trees
in the green emptiness that
possessed that morning.
Let me fill you with sugar
As I dice your sweet loins.
Let me build you with pleasure
Your castle of sun-dried bones,
I heard the high-pitched flute bird
Let me cut you to the core
With my loving advice.
Let's hup, two, three, four,
Such a wonderful device.
Like the only trees, she wanted
to be noticed. SHE wanted to be
noticed.
Let me cripple you, child,
As you dance on my feet.
I will carry you, child,
To the end of my reach.
Michael Penow
call to her mate. Only the cool hiss
of the invisible factory in the background
answered. Still she persisted.
Her cry never did die out. It just
echoed over the trees, into my heart.
And floating on the mist
she blew the grey into the corners of the leaves. And then the sun came.
It peered through the clouds
and opened it up to let the blue
dip into the tree-spiked clearing ..
The birds call lost its sound
and a crow responded to the 'hum'
of the invisible factory in the
distance.
I can still hear the 'hum'
in the distance.

SEAC
The ERC recently becam e a member of the
Stude nt Environmental Action Coalition (SEAC).
Ce ntral to the SEAC philosophy is that env ironmental
degradation must be engaged from th e bottom up and
th e top down . This combines grassroots acti vism
with pressure put un policy makers at all levels. By
networking wit h oth er campuses throu ghou t the
Uni ted States, th e co ll ective student voice can war!..
un large sl'a le e nvironme ntal issues. SEAC is cur rent ly working on a proposed Native Forest Pro tec tion Act and a proposed Save America's Forest Bill .
The NFPA has three goals : protecting virgin forests,
regulatin g raw timber resource exports and the reha bilitation of multiple use forestlands. The SAF Bill
wi II cover habitat protection and a natural reforestati on proposal. Students are urged to contac t state
legislators and to urge the four largest environme ntal
lobb ies (Sierra Club, The Wilderness Society, National Wildlife Federat ion and National Audubon
Soc iety) to support this legislation. On February 26,
th ere wi ll be a m;trch on state cap itol s throu ghout th e
country to show sllIdent and conununity support for
th e legislation and to push for reforms in th e US

EARTH DAY-EVERY DAY
Ah yes, it's coming-the day of celebration of
life and living-Earth Day. As you mayor may not
know , this April 22nd will mark the twentieth anniversary of the first cohesive action to raise public
awareness about ecological destruction. Out of that
first movement came the EPA, the Clean Water Act,
and the Clean Air Act. But the positive actions of the
70's were harpooned by the Reagan administration
and today we are facing a whole new range of problems. But there is still hope! Growing awareness
around the globe has raised the belief that this will be
the 'Decade of the Environment.' There is much to be
done.
Here at Evergreen, planning has started for a
weekend celebration, April 21 st (John Muirs birthday) and April 22nd. The focus is Earth Day, Every
Day - to sustain the earth we must learn to live in
harmony. Numerous groups and individuals throughout the community are getting involved. Activities
already in the works include a performance by the
band Oregon on Sunday evening, speakers including
Paul Watson (a founder of Greenpeace and the
founder of Sea Shephard Society) and Robert Michael
Pyle (author of Wintergreen), workshops, games,
nature walks, information booths, tree plantings
rituals and more music! So if you have creative
energy, new ideas, an incredible urge to participate in
Earth Day and a desire to bring about awareness,
come get involved. Meetings will be held Mondays
at 6:30 in CAB 108. If you can't make the meetings,
call or stop by the ERC in CAB 306B, 866-6000
x6784 or call WashPIRG x6058. Input from any and
all community members is essential.

ACTION ALERT
The Senate clean air bill, S 1630, is headed to
the senate floor for one of the most important environmental votes of the new decade. S 1630 covers a
variety of important clean air issues: air toxics, acid
rain and urban smog pollution. It is a compromise
bill that still goes a long way to protect our enVIronment and our health. There are five main parts to the
clean air legislation:
- set up new deadlines and control requirements to
clean up the air in polluted cities,
- propose a 10 million ton acid rain control program ,
- begin the job of reducing toxic chemical pollution,
- propose a virtual phase-out of ozone destroying
chemicals,
- limi t carbon dioxide emissions from cars.
Like any compron'lise, S 1630 needs improvement but we need to hang onto the good parts of the
bill. A powerful industry coalition has pulled out all
stops to slow down, damage and defeat S 1630. They
claim S 1630 is a radical, expensive and unreasonable bill. But more than ever before, people are
showing that they want clean, healthful air and we
can have it at a reasonable cost without damaging our
economy. We ask you to write your senators and ask
them to cosponsor the bill. Specifically ask them to
work toward improving the bill by:
- rejecting any amendments to weaken the bill,
- support an acid rain bill with a cap,
- support shorter deadlines for achieving controls on
tOXICS,
- support better definitions of control technology so
that industry can't wiggle out of using the best technology to control emissions.
With your letters, your persistence, we can
make a difference. Please help to achieve the goal of
strong clean air legislation by writing and calling your
senators to let them know that clean air is important.

GLOBAL WALK
Los Angeles, Santa Fe, St. Louis, Washington
DC, New York City and all locations in between will
be the path followed by a 10-month pilgrimage called
the Global Walk for a More Livable World. The
Walk began in L.A. on January 15, 1990 and includes
a group of approximately 150 dedicated people from
all walks of life. For ten months the group will
collectively focus their energies toward leading
educational forums to raise awareness about the need
to protect the earth's ecological balance, introducing
and participating in tree planting projects, collecting
litter along the route and properly disposing and/or
recycling it. And of course ... walking. Essentially,
the group will fonn and sustain a m?bile, ecologi~ally
al ternative community for the duratIOn of 3000 mIles
with the hope of branching out into smaller walks to
encircle the globe over the next three years.
Solar and pedal power will be employed to
move gear daily as active examples of alternative
transportation. (You may have seen the flyers
around campus regarding the building of a solar car
which will eventually join the Walk.) The walkers
will pass through lands inhabited by Native American
communities as well as visit key sites associated with
the nuclear industry. The goal is to connect the past
with the present in order to bring about awareness that
we must work together for a livable future.
Among those beginning the walk is Andrea
Lipper from Evergreen. Andrea will be writing about
her experiences during the walk and we hope to
include these updates in later newsletters. Before the
walk ends in Octc~er, many individual will join and
leave the Walk along the way, including several more
from TESC. If you are interested in joining the Walk
or know of people who are participating, contact
Jeanna through the ERC.
"There's still time enough to save enough of
the earth's forests, but we can't mess around any
longer. We need nature. But nature gets along
perfectly well without us. It is supreme arrogance to
alter and destroy Nature for short-term profit. In the
long run, that will be the costliest policy of all."
- Chris Maser, Scientist and fonner BLM biologist
