New Thai
restaurant opens
by Tedd Kelleher
After living in the sparse wasteland
of Olympia's ethnic food scene for the
last two years, I got excited when I heard
of a new Thai restaurant opening. Could
it be true? Would it be authentic, or
would it be just another one of those
yuppie excuses for a Thai restaurant
serving bland "Americanized" food
surrounded by elaborate decor?
I wasn't disappointed. The Mekong
restaurant gave me the Thai eating
experience I yeamed for.
We started with an appetizer of Won
Tons stuffed with pork and shrimp served
with a savory sweet and sour sauce.
From there we moved on to Tom Yum
Talay, a seafood soup that was the
highlight of the meal. It was full of
clams and mussels cooked to perfection
surrounded by a spicy hot broth.
Next we ate Mu Phud Ped, a
delicious mixture of stir fried pork, green
beans, and onion covered with curry
sauce. We ended our meal with Phud
Thai, a spicy hot combination of shrimp,
ground peanuts, beansprouts. eggs and
tofu.
The Mekong restaurant offers
anywhere from one to four stars of spicy
hotness on all their hot dishes. Don't be
afraid to Lry four stars because the hOl
spices complement the subtle flavors of
the dishes without overwhelming them.
Offered but not listed on the menu is
Thai iced tea, a must for any Thai eating
experience. The food is reasonably priced,
we paid about eight dollars per person
for a filling four course dinner.
The Mekong restaurant is located on
the comer of State and Columbia (near
the IT bus station). It is open until 10
pm Monday through Thursday and until
11 pm Friday .and Saturday.

Building Community Into the Nineties
May 1-6, 1989
In 1979, PreSident Carter proclaimed a seven day period beginning on May fourth of every year as a week to
commemorate the struggles and C!-chievements of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans. The following is excerpted from a
.
proclamation reprinted from the US Codex of Congressional and Administrative News;
America's greatness-its idetlls, its system of gOvernment, its economy, its people-drives from the contributions of peoples of
many origins who come to OUT land seeking in the creation of a dynamic and pluralistic America, with their enormous contributions to

our sciences, arts, industry, gtnJeTnment and commerce.
Unfortunately, we have not always fully appreciated the talents and the contributions which Asian-Amerialns have brought to the
United States. Until recently, our immigration and naturaliziztion laws discriminated against them. They were also subjected to
discrimination in education, housing and employment. And during World War II our Japanese-American citizens were treated with
suspicion and fear.
'
.
Yet, asians of diverse origins-from China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia-continued to look to America as a
land of hope, opportunity and freedom.
There still is a long way to go in the full participation of Asian/Pacific Islanders in this country. Many misconceptions
and discriminatory acts still prevent our full citizenship. Therefore, we celebrate not only the achievements and contributions
of Asian/Pacific Island people but also the continued struggles to acquire equal rights as Americans.
Our theme of building community into the '90s reflects the continued commitment of our people towards participation
in the society of the United States. We are, and have been, a part of the development of this country since its beginnings.
Despite pressures to acculturate and blend in, we have long kept the knowledge of our heritage and. identity intact by
coalescing into communities. Our communities have been great influences in the US in various ways, such as art and politics
(not only -cuisine), and we will continue to be a part as we go into the '90s and the extended future.
Throughout this week. we have explored this theme in all of its diversity. From the changing roles of Asian and
Padfic Islander-American women to the new communities from Southeast Asia. We hope that you. the greater community, ,
have a chance to participate in this celebration and. grow in awareness of the inherent pluralism of this country so that,
looking into the future, we might all be recognized and move forward together.

Mu Iticu Itu ral ism and partiCipation vital to future
by Suzette Williams
This week's Unsoeld speakers raised
some issues that will be vital to the
future of this state. Internationalizing
school
curriculums; because
of
Washington's commitment to international
trade and cultural exchanges, can not be
avoided.
Multiculturalism is also important, not
only for ilS intangible, ethereal values,
but also because of the growing
population of People of Color in the
United States. Teaching people how to
relate to others with different cultural or
cthnic backgrounds must be a priority in
planning for the future.
Martin Bernal, Johnetta Cole and
John Mohawk spoke of the necessity of
including the experiences of groups
historically left out of the canon of
standard textbooks, but seemed somewhat
divided over the larger issue of whether
a canon was really needed.
I agree with the speakers that the
experiences of the poor, women, and
People of Color should be stressed in
academia because of the prevalence of
ethn o-centric images in the media. It only
makes sense that studenlS should learn in
class what they 're not learning from life.
The idea of a canon of standard
reading doesn't seem essential. Why does
it matter if students have read the same
novels as long as they've addressed the
iss ues those novels would have raised?
More important than a specific body of
knowledge about culture is having the
skills to function within that culture.
Mohawk addressed this point most
directly; he emphasized that these debates
about the "politics of knowledge" must
center on surviving into the next Century.
So what do studenlS need to know ,
what skills must they possess, to function
in the next Cen tury? Several groups are
addressing the iss ue, probably not the
groups you might expect.
Not the educators, not the parenlS, not
even studenlS; no, it' s the business
community.
Both the Washington State Economic
Development Board and The Washington
Roundtable have recently published
booklelS about schooling after the year
2000. Both emphasize internationalizing
the curriculwn and predict a multicultural
workforce, but this emphasis is to give
students a "competitive edge."
There is an element of realism in the
Economic Development Board's book,
Washington Works Worldwide,
in
stressing a competitive edge, but there is
also an assumption of priorities. The
Board, using phrases like "highly-skilled
productive work force" asswnes the focus
of one's life in the future will be work.
Multiculturalism holds no values for the
Board's members other than its role in
assuring Washington a competitive edge
in international trade.
Although these publications have
some admirable ideas, ljke mandatory
foreign. language instruction in grade
school, they are deficient because of their
membership. While advocating a more
inclusive system, for example, the
Washington Roundtable's members are all
men. Most members are CEO's of
corporations, two of the 34 members are
identified as "citizen members."
Unless we want the future of
Washington to be determined, as that of
the United States has historically, by the
wealthy few, there must be more citizen
involvement in such planning. Groups
appointed by the legislature or drawn
from corporations are not representative
of the State's population.
Central to Washington's future
should be the idea of participation;
participation of all, not only the few who
can afford it. Perhaps if the ideas of the
U nsoeld speakers were instituted, the
future would be bright and everyone
would have the skills they need to live in
the next Century, but I would like to see
the goal at a"higher level.
The goal should be to involve as
many individuals as possible in planning
for the future. Educators such as the
Unsocld panelists must be included, as
well as students and just regular citizens.
Without popular involvement, any change
is just another reform made by the few
for the many.

NEWS BRIEFS
Boyer and Tedd Kelleher, for nol listing
them as such in the Staff Box. These
writers, along with the rest of the
volunteer staff, assure that the paper gelS

Although the paid staff also volunteer
a lot of their time, the volunteer writers
are truly extraordinary. Each week they
contribute a bulk of their days to the
thankless jobs of writing news stories,
laying out the paper and doing all they
can to help. These people are dedicated,
even feeling guilty when they're not here
every day. Such volunteer effort and
dedication is not recognized elsewhere in
the community so I'd like to thank them
now.

State University students were killed and
nine wounded by Ohio State National

Bowling balls for real defense
by Darrel W. Riley
Remember back in the old days when
jokes were jokes, satire was funny, and
people laughed? If you have anything
funny to say today, suppress it because
truth has become fUnnier than fiction.
Not long ago the en published a
cartoon parody of the Strategic Defense
Initiative (Star Wars) that was called the
bowling ball defense. The idea was that
the US could cover the atmosphere with
bowling balls that would prevent missiles
from coming through. It was supposed to
be a joke.
The latest Star Wars proposal is
Brilliant Pebbles. I am not making this
up, these folks are seriously proposing a
system called Brilliant Pebbles. I know '
this name sounds like a joke but the
military and Congress are taking it
seriously. After all Pet Rocks were once
a joke, too. So was the idea of making a
movie actor Presider.t of the United
"
.
States.
The philosophy behind Brilliant
Pebbles is that we cover the atmosphere
with a bunch of little tiny missiles (a
little bigger than bowling balls) and
incoming missiles will strike this shield
and be deflected or destroyed. So, for
instance, instead of being devastated by 5
bombs where only 1 would do, we could
have three bombs strike us and 2 could

This remarkable idea was thought up
by the protege of Edward Teller; Lowell
Wood. Star Wars has always been a
particularly stupid system, one that
doesn't work even in theory, but using
the bowling ball defense is going too far.
The only redeeming social value to
Star Wars is that maybe, someday in the
future we might get technological spinoffs which do something useful for the
rest of humanity. (Although the chances
of a meaningful technological spin-off
occurring are almost non-existent.)

pro-death for babies ... We are not only
talking about women's rights here. What
about father's rights and baby's rights?"
"I'm here to prevent to enslavement
of women that would result if abortion
was made illegal," said Pro-choice
supporter Greg Bye. "This is really an
issue of class, led by hypocrites like

Prexy Nesbitt, civil rights activist to speak
of South African divestment on campus
Prexy Nesbitt will speak in the TESC
Library Lobby on Thursday, May 4, at
7:00 pm. Nesbitt is known for his civil
rights and anti-apartheid work.
As a student at Antioch College and
Columbia University, Nesbitt began
divesunent movements. During the 1960's
he worked with Dr. Martin Luther King
on civil rights issues. While chairing a
committee for the American Committee
on Africa, Nesbitt organized the first
nationwide South African divesunent
campaign.
Nesbitt has served as a program and
research secretary for the World Council
of Churches' Program to Combat Racism
in Geneva, Switzerland. He has travelled
to Africa twenty-five times. He is the
author of Apartheid in our Living Rooms:
V .S. Foreign Policy and South Africa. In
1988,
Nesbitt
was
given
the
King/Mandela award by the Washington
Office on Africa. Currently, he is serving
as a consultant for the People's Republic
of Mozambique.
'The Changing Situation in Southern
Africa: New Challenges to the People of
the V,s." is the title of Nesbitt's
Thursday lecture. Southern Africa is a
region that has historically been a victim
of European and U.S. colonialist and
imperialist policies. At present the U.S.

The Smoking Disappearing Task
Force (DTF) held an alI-campus hearing
last Thursday to discuss their draft report
with the community. The seven members
of the DTP present joined a group of as
many members of the community in this
open forom.
. .oTF Chairperson Jim Johnson fltS(
clarified that the DTP was charged by
Vice President Ken Winkley to develop
a plan for a smoke-free workplace, not to
determine whether or not to comply with
the Governor's Executive Order. To this
end the _ DW' investigated options for
outdoor smoking areas, smoking cessation
programs, and costs of providing
sufficiently ventilated areas within
buildings.
The tone in the forum was
overwhelmingly in favor of entirely
smoke-free buildings, but dissenting
opinions were discussed. Correspondence
to the DTF from anti-smoke-free persons
was summarized.
Most criticism toward the DTF
proposal was aimed at the style of the
report Many took issue with the
suggestions for enforcement of the policy,
feeling that the language was too strong
and would not encourage cooperation.
Johnson explained the language in
that section of the proposal echoes tJult in
the present smoking policy. Others
oontended that the draft was more an
attempt at legislation than discussion of
the issues, and wished for a more
equitable
arrangement
for
current
smokers.
If buildings on campus become
smoke-free where will smokers be able to
go to satisfy the urge? With the DTF
recommendation
to
locate outside
smoking areas "away from traffic patterns
and away from building entrances," there
will be severe limitations on such areas.
In addition, to provide sheltered areas for
outside smoking may well create a
financial need beyond available funds.
But the Governor bas indicated that to
retain indoor smoking areas will
negatively impact state funds for facilities
maintenance on campus.
The DTF hopes to finalize a proposal
Greeners to attend
student conference
by James Dannen
Skaters from allover Olympia
converged on Red Square at Noon
Monday for the "First Annual Mayday
Geo-Skate Jam." This high flying
extravaganza served as prelude to the real
action that took place at the General
Assembly's inaugural outdoor session.
The meeting marked two historic events
for student governance at Evergreen.
First on the agenda was a proposal 10
join Washington Student Lobby. After an
hour of heated discussion t1!e Assembly
decided more information was needed to
make a decision. However; the General
Assembly set aside $500 to allow two
students to attend the Washington Student
Lobby Conference at Central Washington
University.
The second decision was less
divisive. The Assembly decided Steering
Committe members will be paid for
working ten hours per week beginning
next fall. A number of students expressed
concern that some SlUring Committee
jobs require more of time commitment
than others. However, it was ultimately
reasoned that paying differing sums 10
different members of the Steering
Committee would set up a hierarchy
incoQSistent with the goals and ideals
expressed in the Geo-Voice.
One new proposal was made at this
Assembly to change the job description
of the "Coordinator At-Large" position to
include supporting and assisting students
charged with violations of the Student
Conduct Code as they manuever through
the Grievance and Appeals process.
All General Assemblies take place
Mondays from 3-5 pm in Red Square or,
if the weather is uncooperative, in the
CAB Mall Lounge. Come on down early
and skate, then crawl to the meeting.
on May 10, and until then continues to
seek community input. For comments to
receive attention, they should be directed
as soon as possible to Jim Johnson at

Origins of CIA are
shared by ex-agent
When I think of earth, I think of
farming and when I think of farming I
often think of Masanoba Fulruoka.
Masanoba Fukuoka is a peasant farmer in
Japan, the proponent of "DD-Nothing"
farming, and something of the guru of
natural farming for people allover the
world.
Fukuoka has written three books
about ~tural farming: The One Srr.aw
RevolutIon, The Natural Way of Fannmg.
and The Road Back to Nature. He writes:
"We often speak of 'producing food.'
but farmers do not produce the food of
life. Only nature has the power to
produce something from nothing. Farmers
merely assist nature.
"Modem agriculture is just another

Philip Agee's
disillusionment
with CIA began
when political
activists· he
identified began
to scream
by David Abeles
"What side are you on anyway."
Philip Agee quipped to the sound
technician as he in inadvertently made a
loud sound switching the cords of the
P.A. system. By the end of the night it
seemed that most, if not all, of the 200250 people that attended were convinced
by the poSition ex-CIA agent Philip Agee
has been taking for the last 20 years
against the CIA.
Agee spent nearly two hours detailing
the origins of the CIA, how and why
they intervene (intervention is illegal
according to their charter), some of the
original recruits and operations, why he
eventually left the company, and the
ways in which the CIA infiltrates the
ranks of college campuses. After his
speech he spent nearly 45 minutes
answering questions for the hundred or so
who remained.
Agee explained that the CIA grew
out of the OSS. the chief US intelligence
gathering organization during World War
II. Many Nazis. among them the head of
the Nazi SS intelligence service for the
Eastern front. were recruited to serve in
the agency of the emerging global power.
At the close of WWU the anti-Fascist
movement. in particular the heroic
fighters against Nazi Germany. were

of aggression. due mostly to American
involvement, continue in countries such
as El Salvador, Angola. and Philippines.
How does the CIA infiltrate and coopt countries? Agee answered that hey

three
methods;

and paramilitary operations.
The key. according to Agee. is to coopt the targeted country' s working class.

Angola to Nicaragua. Agee gave grim
statistics of the carnage that CIA trained
mercenaries have done in Nicaragua. In a
country of three million 30,000 have
died, 70.000 are wounded, more than 500
schools have been partially or totally
destroyed, etc. This is the equivalent of 6
and a half million US casualties, more
than triple the number of casualties the
US has suffered in war since the Civil
War.
The process of counter-intelligence
gathering involves working hand in hand
with other foreign intelligence agencies to
gather intelligence. Agee pointed out that
many times this is combined with paramilitary ope.1'lltions as in the scenario of
the Israeli-Iran-Contra affair.
The most exciting part of the
evening was when Agee addressed the
question of the CIA recruiting on college
campuses. The ePJ ran a CIA recruiting
advertisement in the February 16, 1989
issue. Subsequently the ePJ door had
graffiti painted on it, the ePJ staff wa~
threatened, a community meeting about
the ad was held. and a petition was
started against the CIA.
The audience listened as Agee
hammered
the point
that
"First
Amendment rights do not include the
right to recruit, which is business."
Therefore members of the college campus
have a "right to block recruitment by the
CIA", he continued. Under the First
Amendment what is allowed is a debate
or discussion panel involving the CIA .
For anyone interested in the recent
history of this question check out the
court proceedings of the Abbie HoffmanAmy Carter VS. the CIA case.
Agee was asked how the CIA
infiltrate
college
campuses.
Agee
indicated that one way is to pay
professors to keep their eyes out for
potential student recruits. They are
directed to keep as large a file as
possible on these students so that when
they are contacted and interviewed,
unbeknownst to the student, the CIA
knows about him/her.

Lecture Hall 3, Earth Month and the
Global Walk for a Liveable World
present The Milagro Beanfleld War.
The town of Milagro is a small town
in New Mexico, full of the odd and
toothy characters of a rural village, whose
people have survived mainly by growing
beans. When a group of wealthy
developers start creating an enormous
"recreational development" (condo's, golf
course. ritzy nightclub, the works) a fight
begins over the water rights. Milagro
residents no longer have enough water to
grow their beans, and the people of the
lown are doomed to a life of menial
labor working for the resort.
'ibe townspeople don't have the
power to respond politically -- they lack
the education and power in the state's
poll tical arena to participate. Their
response is more direct Before long a
developers' sign is in flames and one of
the farmers has opened the sluice gate to
water his field and he plants beans. What
follows is a spontaneous, uncontrollable
chain of events ....
This film is a beautiful story of life
and change in a small rural village. It is
also a statement about land use and water
rights, and a tale about how natural,
direct action can be more powerful than
the elaborate, hierarchical political. system
that we are trained to solve problems
through.
And I bet you've never heard of a
guardian spirit playing a symphonium
before.

Some of the happiest people I know
have Down syndrome and are retarded,
but understanding and help for this
condition is minimal. By comparison
there are many people eager to jump on
the bandwagon to "save the rainforest of
Brazil," "stop the war in El Salvador"
and other causes in vogue today. In no
way do I wish to imply that these causes
are of lesser importance, I only wish to
open a forum for an issue that has
received little exposure.
In Octooer 1988 two British
geneticists developed a new prenatal test
for diagnosing Down syndrome (trisomy21) which is over 60 percent accurate.
Before this only 30 percent or less was
detectable.
This new test identifies the various
biochemical markers, human chorionic
gonadotorphine, unconjugated oestriol,
and alpha-fetoprotein which indicate the
occurrence of trisomy-21. Most parents
who have a fetus diagnosed as having
trisomy-21 get abortions. The United
Kingdom can, and most likely will with
this new birth test, reduce the number of
people with Down syndrome from about
900 births per year to 350. This
technology is on its wal to America.
Here I see a need for concern.

I would like to open a fOrum. to pose
some social-technical-moral questions:
1) Are we "normal" people taught that
"retarded" people are somehow less
human and can never fully understand or
enjoy life? I frequently think about Nigel
Hunt, a British gentleman who wrote a
book about some of his experiences in
England and Germany; and the young
man Patrick Evezich. who is a high
school graduate and in good standing at
the
University
of
Washington
Experimental Education Unity; not to
mention my good friend Jim Baker, a
man at the Bancroft School who likes to
share his morning cup of coffee and
views of the world with me. These
people, seemingly quite "normal" have
Down syndrome and are retarded. Are
these people examples of unnecessary
human suffering?
2) Why do parents choose to have an
abortion if there is a high chance that the
child will be retarded?
3) What role does big business
investment play in genetic engineering?
4) Has American society accepted a
general view that Down syndrome and
retardation in general causes wmecessary
human suffering?
5) What are the criteria for deciding
exactly what constitutes unnecessary
human suffering?
6) Will the elimination or reduction of
"less than perfect fetuses" eliminate
human suffering or will it reduce our
humanity? .

At
Willi Unsoeld Seminar:
Speakers debate politics of knowledge
by Darrel W. Riley and Suzeue Williams
What son of an education should
college students have? Should they be
taught only the "classics" of Western
thought, Plato, Socrates, or should they
also be exposed to the contributions of
cultures and people not considered pan of
the main tradition of Western culture,
such as the Egyptians.
And if these questions are answered,
will those educated be able to prevent the
world's destruction?
These questions were the focus of
three speakers at the Willi Unsoeld
seminar SW)(lay evening; Martin Bernal,
Iohnnetta Cole and John Mohawk.
John Mohawk, faculty member at the
State University of New York at Buffalo,
sparked a laugh with his discussion of
the difference between European and
Indian ideas of creation.
"They have history and we have
mythologies. "
The example he used was of an old
Indian wo~ telling an anthropologist
that the Earth rested on the back of a
turtle.
"The guy says, if the world is on a
turtle, 'What is the turtle standing on?'
"She says, 'Of course, I know the
answer to that, it's another turtle, a
bigger one.'
"He says 'Alright Madam, and what's
that turtle standing on?"
"The woman answered, 'You're very
clever, Mr. White Man, but it's turtles all
the way down.'"
Mohawk began his speech by talking
about his upbringing in the Longhouse
Religion. He was a curious boy, he
related, and he wanted to know what
things were used for. There were many
ceremonial objects in the Longhouse
religion and he asked about many of
them. What was striking. he said, was
that there were always answers. "[
believe the pwpose of ceremony is so
people remember origins of custom,"
Mohawk remarked.
When he left his home to go to a
Christian wedding he sat next to a
minister. The bride walked up the aisle
with the bridesmaids holding her train.
"Where do the bride's maids come
from?" he asked.
"Shhhhh!," the minister said. "I don't
know."
Then the groom came with his
coterie of people.
"The guys who are with this guy,
where do they come from?" he asked.
"Shhhhh!," the minister said. "I don't
know."
Mohawk was swprised that nobody
knew, and was also swprised that nobody
asked. In Indian culture you were
expected to ask, he related.
These stories made his point that
origins are imponanL "I want to suggest
that there are things to look at about the
origins of the idea of a canon of
textbooks that would hold everything
people to know about the world that they
live in."
Mohawk argued that the origins of
the canon were in the Carolingian
Renaissance which occurred in about the
year 800 a.d.
In the coun of Charlemagne they
decided there was a need to have a
common language to speak and write
throughout the empire to preserve the
Christian tradition.
"It established in the coun of
Charlemagne," Mohawk said, "a single
administrative language, Latin. You could
see the formation of a class of people
who were the administrators of the
empire who had a language different
from everyone else's language, but who
had a common language across the
empire. This tradition was organized by
the coun for the coun's own purposes."
Mohawk's speech was a fascinating
historical prelude to Bernal's talk about
the later loss of Latin as the language of
scholars.
Mohawk talked about how they
pieced together the Bible from the
Biblical books that were lefL The
selection of the material to be included in
the Bible was a very political process,
Mohawk demonstrated. Some of the
Biblical books were in different
languages. This became an imponant
issue because the scholars wanted to
know, "what language God used,"
Mohawk contended.
Which texts were kept and which
were lost was another highly political
process. Since the Roman Catholic
Church was sponsoring the reclamation of
the material, often only the material that
the church agreed with was kePL Thus,
for instance, there are accurate renditions
of Aristotle because he supported the
Church positions, but incomplete and
inaccurate renditions of Lucretias because
he did not.
"What we are seeing in terms of the
demand for a canon is just the claims to
that legitimacy of civilization.
"In the Carolingian Renaissance what
lie in the books was the word of God.
That was what they were seeking to
assemble. But what they in fact putting
together was the mechanism and tradition
out of which came the state system."
Mohawk was disturbed by what he
called, "a conspiracy of nations" to
subjugate native peoples.
"In the interstate system there is a
conspiracy that says the United States can
violate its treaties with the Indians with
impunity because under interstate law
everyone is supposed to turn away when
the United States does something to a
people that everyone has agreed are an
internal problem to the United States.
Everyone turned and looked the other
way in the 1940s when the Germans
were doing that to the Jews and everyone
is turning the other way when the
Brazilians are doing that to the Indians in
the Nonh of Brazil.
"We need clear thinking about how
we are recruited into the process that
made possible the last five centuries.
Especially the five centuries of European
expansion. I believe those five centuries
are over and anyone trying to hold on to
that is living outside of our time."
Manin Bernal, although he spoke
first, dovetailed Mohawk's speech
elegantly with an explanation of scholars'
renunciation of Latin. He is the author of
the conttoversial work Black Athena,
which discusses the contributions of
Mediterranean cultures that are often
otherwise ignored.
His discussion focused on the
purposes of the creation of the canon, the
official list of recommended works for
colleges. According to Bernal, politics has
always influenced the canon. The
American educational system was
modeled panly after what is now known
as the German Gymnasium system. The
Gymnasium system was set up by a
German aristocrat to help unify Europe
after the crisis caused by the French
Revolution. Bernal explained that the
creator of the humanistic education in
Germany believed the Greeks were the
ideal people and that "by studying
antiquity you could re-integrate the
present."
At that time in history Gennans
were not secure in the uses of Gennan,
Bernal explained. Most of the world's
intellectuals communicated in Latin or
Greek. Bernal said with the surge of
German nationalism in the late 18th-early
19th century and the determination to use
German, scholars began using German.
Soon the rest of the intellectual
community was communicating in the
tongues of their countries.
The Americans decided to set up
their educational system following the
German experiment, according to Bernal,
not just to educate the masses but also 10

allow Americans to become players on
the world stage.

by Star Boswell
The Asian/Pacific Islander Student
Union held its 11th annual conference
entitled "APSU 89: Moving Ahead With
Our Diversity" at UC Santa Cruz on
April 22, 1989. Of the 800 students that
attended, 13 were from the Evergreen
State College (the only Washington
school represented).
Before reaching the conference we
spent a day in San Francisco touring
Chinatown and Jaytown, browsing
through bookstores, enjoying the company
and different ethnic foods. The keynote
speakers at the conference were March
Fong Eu, the Secretary of State of
California and Ben Nakano, the national
spokesperson for the National Coalition
for Redress and Reparations (NCRR).
Students participated in a variety of
educational workshops concerning the
issues of Filipino Afftrmative Action,
ethnic studies, careers after college, art
and culture, the Stockton Massacre,
Asian/Pacific Islander youth education
and more. Vietnamese sandwiches were
served for lunch and Korean Barbecue
for dinner while the Samoan and Korean
drummers jammed to some upbeat
contemporary rhythms. The highlight of
the evening were the student cultural
performances which ranged from Taiko
drummers to Laotian and ribbon dancers.
The night ended with a large student
dance.
I attended the Ethnic Studies Snuggle
workshop where a fIJrn was shown about
the San Francisco State College strikes in
1968 involving 80% of the student body
concerning multi-cultural education. The
film pointed out how racism and classism
was and is still used to keep the working
population divided. The speaker explained
the need to include the experiences of
people of color in this country's history
as valid and not just portray them as
passive victims.
Throughout the conference I was
reminded that the slaves, Chinese railroad
workers and Filipino farrnworlc:ers were
the backbone that built America and
helped make it prosperous.
It was exciting to hear of ASPU's
involvement in organizing Spring Action
'89, an event where 8,000 students
marched on the state capitol demanding
fair access to education. The c-Onference
gave me the opportunity to meet other
students with similar cultural experiences,
to share, network, take pride in my
heritage and learn more about other
cultures. Next year the Asian/Pacific Isle
Coalition is hoping to hold a student of
color conference of its own for the
nonhwest region.

Johnette Cole and Elaine Zakarison discuss
'isms and social change at Evergreen
by Honna Metzger
Johnetta Cole and Elaine Zakarison
visited Evergreen Monday to discuss the
issues of racism and sexism in the United
States. Cole is the first female African
American President of Spelman College.
Zakarison directs the National YWCA
Student Program.
Cole spoke about the importance of
not forgetting women of color when
combatting sexism.
A student asked her where the
woman of color's voice is best heard,
through poetry, music or some other
medium. Cole replied that women of
color cannot be grouped together into one
voice.
" ...There are Black women who are
Republicans ... There are Black women
who have never worked a day in their
lives. There are Black women who nave
never not worked, even on a Sunday ...
There are even Black women who are
lesbians .....
Cole also declared that People of
Color cannot expect whites to simply
hand over their economic and social
power.
In the view of racist whites, "racism
pays," Cole said, because it retains a
privileged position for them.
After Johnetta Cole spoke, Elaine
Zakarison presented a lecture/workshop
focusing on the role of white women in
the fight for the liberation of women of
color.
"I feel very strongly , as a white
woman that you can not fight sexism
without fighting raeism."
From her observation, white feminists
have often shown · "a tremendous
unwillingness to focus on racism."
According to Zakarison, this type of
behavior on the part of white women,
that fights sexism and nol racism, says to
women of color, "I value my whiteness
more than I value my femaleness," and
displays an indifference towards "sisters
of color."
"This racism by white women
feminists will create a special place in
society for 'white women only,'" she
claimed.
Another thing to remember, Zakarison
said, is that "the white male club
welcomes hostility between women of
color and white women."
"To women of color, the white
woman has been an enemy," because,
Zakarison remarked, she has benefited
from the "white skin privilege" afforded
to her.
.
Zakarison suggested that white
feminists "make sure that the needs of all
women are being addressed," when trying
to help the feminist cause. Few white
women have ever experienced racism, she ·
pointed out; and often play the part of
the oppressor, unwittingly or not, by
virtue of being white in a whitedominated society.
An Evergreen student brought up the
fact that there has been talk of reverse
racism on campus. She used Affirmative
Action as an example: people often say it
is racist against whites.
The Evergreen Affumative Action
Officer mentioned that a TESC student
once told her that Aff1J1ll8tive Action
should not exist, "because it's moving
People of Color over to the right."
When Zakarison hears criticism
against Affumative Action, she states that

everyone agreed that abortion should be

with that state passing a law against it. In

anti-abortionists quote "Thou shalt not

live by. If we tried to live literally by
this commandment we would all die. We

everything else we kill on a daily basis

When it comes to killing humans our

Opinion
Kney-tal article draws fire from faculty
by' Pete Bohmer, faculty
It is depressing that the newspaper
here at Evergreen, the Cooper Point
Journal, has been and continues 10 be a
student version of the major newspapers.
This imitation includes claiming to be
objective
where
objective
means
uncritically accepting the pronouncements
of those with power and status as the
truth. It also includes ignoring, demeaning
and trivializing those actively protesting
against policies and against a system that
perpetuates racial, gender and class
oppression and the domination of people
in the Third World.
An example of this type of
"objective" jownalism was the article by
Honna Metzger in the April 20th cn
about the visit of Israeli foreign ministry
official Harry Kney-Tal. In her story, she
repeated Kney-TaI's comments about "his
desire for peace, ... for an end to thc
violence and terror" and wrote "Kney-Tal
refuted rumors that Israelis are greedy
about obtaining land."
Nowhere in her article did she probe
beneath this self-serving line. For
example, it was pointed out by people
attending this meeting that Israel has
continually denied the right of the
Palestinian people for self-determination,
that Israel expelled hlUldreds of thousands
of Palestinians in the late 1940's, seized
the West Bank and Gaza in 1967 and has
continued since then to build Israel
settlements there and maintain a brutal
and illegal occupation over the million
plus Palestinians in these areas. Thus, by
uncritically repeating and primarily
reporting Kney-TaI's comments, the CPJ
gave added credibility to the Israeli
position.
Also not reported was Kney-Tal's
statement at the outset that he would not
be willing to discuss human rights. For
us to have accepted these terms, given
the daily murder of unarmed Palestinians,
and the systematic use of torture by the
israeli government of Palestinians, is 10
silently acquiesce to his and the Israeli
government's agenda of preventing by
any and all means the aspirations of the
Palestinian .people for an independent
nation of Palestine.
If the CPJ or the reporter was not
knowledgeable about the history of Israeli
displacement of Palestinians and the
consistent Israeli effort to destroy
Palestinian culture, they should have
reported the critical analysis presented by
others attending.
Given that Kney-Tal stated he was
speaking as an Israeli govern~ent
official, the cn should take a cnucal
stance toward his version of the Mid-East
conflict. The comments of those
challenging the Israeli government
deserved at least equal weight to his. In
the major media, there is little criticism
of Israel's continued colonization of
another people or mention of the
worldwide condemnation of it The cn
was not any different.
Moreover,
the
picketing
by
Evergreen students and staff of tlle visit
of an Israeli official, the reasons for their
protest, and what they were hoping 10
accomplish were seen as less newsworthy
than Kney-Tal's comments.
Significant and positive social
change comes from people actively
challenging the status quo. Thus, those in
power try 10 ridicule it It is sad when
papers like the CPJ unconsciously accept
this framework by slighting protest or
criticizing protesters as trying 10 relive
the 1960's, scraggly, rude, etc. The
criterion for acceptable protest should not
be whether the object of the protest fmds
it polite or legitimate. To picket and to
forcefully challenge the statements of an
official of a government that is daily
shooting Palestinian people is legitimate.
Honna Metzger concluded her article
by stating I was overheard telling a
fellow proteslOr the exchange had been a
partial success.
What I said openly
and 10 everyone present was that over the
last 16 months, the daily and united
protest of hundreds of thousands of
Palestinians, the Intifada, had forced the
United States 10 talk 10 the
representatives of the Palestinian people,
the PLO. These heroic protests had more
impact than any argument an individual
couid make on why the U.S. should talk
to the PLO. Analogously, protests against
Israeli policy in the US were far more
likely 10 bring about change in Israeli
policy than trying 10 convince Kney-Tal
by rational argument that Israeli
oppression of Palestinians and Israeli
support of repressive regimes in Central
America and South Africa was immoral
and unjust. Given that the US gives over
$3 billion annual aid to Israel and there
is popular suppon in the US for Israel, it
is particularly important that Israeli policy
be opposed in the US.
Throughout the world, students and
student movements have played a central
role in the struggle for significant social
change. The active role of students in the
movements against racism, poverty and
the Vietnam War in the 1960s and early
1970s are examples in the US.
On campuses where students were
most active, invariably there were student
papers that were not afraid 10 challenge
university complicity with the Vietnam
war and multinational corporations;
papers bold in their criticisms of the
power elite, ~t consistently reported on
issues of international and national
Significance, provided anal ysis and
information about inequality and the
causes of it, and reported sympathetically
on those who were actively involved in
student and other movements for social
justice, self-determination and real
democracy. We need such a paper at The
Evergreen State College. If the cn can
not be transformed, such a newspaper
needs 10 be created.
Faculty wants CPJ to encourage prejudice
by Darrel W. Riley
Until the 1940's advocacy jownalism
was supreme. Advocacy jownalism was
the kind of journalism that brought us
into war. The Hearst Empire advocated
the war with Cuba so that it could sell
more newspapers and thus we went 10
war against Cuba. The fright from
"yellow peril" which caused thousands of
Japanese 10 be put into internment camps
was a result of advocacy jownalism
constantly portraying the Japanese
"menace". Jownalists were "king-makers",
creating politicians such as Richard Nixon
by advocating only his position and by
smearing his opponents.
Advocacy jownalism created sins of
commission, not of omission. Reporters,
even if they had information, might
choose not to print it if it didn't support
their point of view.
Gradually, as more and more
information permeated society advocacy
journalism fell into disfavor. The new
standard was journalism which reported
stories as fairly as possible. The new
ideal was "objectivity." The reporter was
expected to tell what he/she had seen
without opinion, or if he/she couldn't do
a SlOry "objectively" then he/she was
expected 10 get additional points of views
on the subject.
There is still a vestige of advocacy
journalism left A new breed of
journalists came 10 the fore with the new
jownalism, the columnist. The columnist
is expected to be knowledgeable abOut a
subject and 10 take a position on it. They
are expected 10 interpret events from a
particular perspective. They are more like
the jownalists of old. However, now their
stories are clearly labeled "opinion."
The change to "objective reporting"
came about partIy because jownalists
expected that their audience was better
educated and could be expected 10 think
for themselves. The readers did not need
to have information interpreted for them,
they could get the "raw" information and
form their own opinions.
Professor Bohmer wants the cn 10
reven back 10 the type of journalism that
created "yellow peril." He wants us not
to report but 10 interpret.
In each and every issue of the CPJ
this year there has been a statement that
the CPJ is not objective. At the
beginning of the year we decided that we
would
publicly acknowledge that
objectivity was a myth. Instead we would
make every effort to be fair, 10 represent
as many sides to a story as we could. I
wonder if he who advocates advocacy
journalism really wants a retwn to the
kinds of advocacy that used to occur with
such regularity, advocating discrimination,
racism, sexism, and hatred. Is this the
kind of jownalism that Professor Bohmer
really wants?
I worked with Honna Metzger on
her slOry about Israeli Consul General,
Harry Kney-Tal. It was a very good news
story. It spoke in a clear and interesting
way about the events of that meeting. It
focused equally on the students and on
the Consul General.
Professor Bohmer would have
seemed to prefer that we not print
anything about the Consul General, only
the responses of the protesters. Shades of
the McCarthy campaign, print only the
accusations and not the response. That is
not journalism. That is character
assassination.
If Professor Bohmer had his way the
would become a paper whose
reporting, what little there is, was
completely at the whim of the editorial
staff. A paper whose content was solely
determined by the feelings of the editorial
staff. Isn't it more productive 10 have a
paper that focuses its limited reportorial
staff on reporting so that at least some
news carr get out?
Thee CPJ is proud 10 have Honna
Metzger as a reporter. She has done a
number of stories which we are proud of.
Unfortunately Professor Bohmer does not
seem 10 have read them closely.
If Professor Bohmer had a problem
with the coverage he could have taken
advantage of his knowledge of the Israeli
situation 10 write a slOry discussing Mr.
Kney-Tal's positions. He could have

NIGHTNOISE
by Amy Malik and Matt Carrithers
In Pet Sematary' s second week of
running it is making more money in
ticket sales than any other current film.
Being avid Stephen King fans, we
couldn't ,wait to see this latest mm
version of one of his books.
At the begiiming of most King
novels, one often gets the feeling that
something will go wrong soon. Arriving
at the Capital Mall Cinemas to see the
movie, we experienced this same feeling.
Everyone' s thoughts were on the same
wave-length. We were all preparing 10
get so scared out of our minds that sleep
later on that night would be out of the
question.
Sitting behind us were some die-hard
King fans who whispered dialogue
throughout the film before the words got
out of the actors ' mouths.
The movie starts out with the Creed
family moving from Chicago 10 a
wonderfully rustic old house in Maine.
The home seems perfect, apart from a

two-lane highway that runs across the
end of the driveway and brings some of
Maine's fastest truckers within feet of
their front porch. Promptly, the family's
toddler son, Gage, attempts 10 walk
across the highway with a sinister truck
bearing down upon him.
After this, we wondered: When are
they going 10 build a fence 10 keep Gage
and his older sister Ellie from becoming
two-dimensional against the blacktop?
They never do.
For anyone who has a beloved, wellworn copy of Pel Semalary at home and
is familiar with the slOryline, the movie
will be disappointing. It moves IDO
slowly to really scare, and the B-movie,
jump-out-and-grab-you tactics (Church,
the family cat, dives out of nowhere onlO
someone at least six times) get old fast
People familiar with the story will
also be expecting large amolUlts of gore,
and they will not be disappointed.
Even " though the acting of Dale
Midkiff (Lou Creed), Denise Crosby
(Rachel Creed), and Fred Gwynne (Jud
Crandall) was acceptable on B-movie
terms, we were most impressed by the
surprise appearance of Stephen King
himself, portraying a priest in a cameo
role.
We deliberately went to an early
showing, so we wouldn't have to go
home from a scary movie after dark. In
the end, this was unnecessary because the
movie just wasn't that scary. We slept
soundly that night after all.
