With those words Reverend Jesse Jackson opened his speech in Olympia.
"What's unique about our country, having come from cerrupt kings and potentates,
and the narrow confines of freedom through royal blood is that all of God's children
have royal blood. That everybody is somebedy. That we would have a govemment not
from the tOR d.own, but from· the .bntiom up. Not a government that would be eXc;lusive
but one that would be inclusive. A gevernment of, by, and for the people, A
'.(; -governn}ent rooted in the integrity ef the cemmon man .and the common woman.
.
'liThe critical Issues of our day aren't left-wing or right-wing, These are cenvenient
labels for lazy people who choose not to think. Just join a wing a close their eyes. I'm
a liberal, I'm a conservative. I'm net sure that either of those wings express the critical
point of this hour. It's not left wing er right wing. It's not boundless liberalism, it's not
static conservatism. It's not convenient labels. It's the moral center that transcends
labels and historic boundaries.
"If it's morally right, it will beceme pOlitically right, It may be politically right but

"English.slavery wasn't aoput fhe lef.f-.:Wfng-1~fffiQniSts/. or nght Wing slave masters.
It's about the immorality of the institution itself. And so as we sought to end .t he slavery,
the shame and burden of our nation, as we sought to end racial segregation and sex
exploitation it wasn't about left or right, it's about the moral center."
Rev. Jackson continued on to cover a number of ether points in his speech.
"If one goes to the University of Washington for four years full academic scholarship,
it costs Less than $40,000, Those same four years at the Washington Penitentiary cost
more than $100,000. Schools at their worst are better than jails at their best.
"It just makes sense to choose prenatal care, and Headstart, on the front side of
life rather than jail care, and welfare, and despair on the back side of life:
One aspect of Rev. Jackson speech that was particular1y pOinted was his reference
to the treaty the Washington legislature has been asked to approve with the Puyallap
'Indians. The Puyallap agreed to a monetary settlement for the native lands for which
they had not been adequately compensated previeusly. The Federal Government will
be voting soon about whether to release the reparations money. The Washington State
Legislature is dragging its feet. The RepLJblican-controlled Senate is worried about the
effect of their expenditure on the budget. (The State's share is about $20 million dollars.)
"Who will pay the bill? Where will we find commen ground on that? I'm a
conservative, I'm a liberal. That doesn't answer the question, who will pay the bill? If
we've got mor~ and .more services to render and fewer and fewer resources you
cannot hide behind liberal or conservative, or black or white or brown, or male or
female. Who will pay the bill? Who will pay for Reagan's party? Let those who have the
party pay for the party."
·You are being held hostage to the debt," Jackson said.
Jackson went on to talk about ·burden-sharing,· asking those countries that have
resources to pay for their own defense and other types of assistance that America
provides.

Next month I'll be a quarter of
a century old. I remember a time
when 25 sounded ancient to me. I
can remember a time (just barely)
when my mother was 25. It's
frightening for me to contemplate
that when my father was my age
he had 5 children and I haven't
even graduated from college.
Martin Luther King Jr. was
just slightly older than I am now
when he was asked to help with
the Montgomery bus boycott.
Whenever I think about my age
I'm reminded of Tom Lerher's
discussion of Mozart. "When
Mozart was my age," he said,
"he'd been dead for two years."

years in 'grade school; as I sat at my
desk and drew cartoons, my teachers
would COnflSC8te them and give me a

them, ·You stupid cow! Don't you realize
that my capacity for vanity and
selfishness far outweighs any desire you

Baha'is urge
racial unity
at TESC
February is Black History Month. It
is a time when everyone can consider
ways to gain a beuer understanding of
African American experience.
Celebrating Black History Month not
only enables us to better understand the
mulli-cultural heritage of the United
States, but brings us closer to race unity.
The Evergreen Baha'is would like to
present a challenge to each individual
member of the college community to
examine her or his own attitudes and
actions toward achieving interracial unity.
We cannot afford a moment's hesitation.
We must strive to become models of race
unity, taking no part in mcism, however
subtle or blatant; never allowing ourselves
to be passive participants in racist
actions.
While the following quote specifically
addresses African and European descent
Americans, it can be applied to people of
all ethnicities in all countries:

Lei neitile.r think lhat the solution of
so vast a problem is a matter thai
exclusively concerns the other. Let neither
thinJc that such a problem can either
easily of immediately be resolved. Let
neither think that they can wajt

taken. Let neither tlUnk that anything

of the common COUnJry.
Please join us in the effon to wipe

which ushers in a new era of interracial

"Art oppresses" is just sophomoric flapadoodle
This letter is in rebuttal to the letter
written by Lee Pembleton in the Feb 2,
1989 CPJ entitled "Art Oppresses maintains status quo." If awards were
given for sophomoric "fIapdoodle," it
would win hands down. The blame he
directs to art and artists for conditions
that exist in Third World Countries is an
absurdly simplistic attempt to fmd an
answer to poverty and oppression. Other
factors such as population, religion,
economics, politics, and ignorance, among
other things might have more cause and

effect.
By "serving corperate masters," does

he mean that artists should not produce
art, and that rich people shouldn't
purchase it? The rich, fortunately, have
been patrons of the arts. which is one
reason that art has survived for posterity.
Remember, there is only one original,
and should the work be of rare quality it
assumes a value like that of a rare gem.
Many good reproductions have been
made of such paintings for all to enjoy.
Pembleton refers to poor people in
Third World countries who may not have
seen art That is possible; although
improbable. Most societies create art as
an expression of their culture.

Most people in this country have
been exposed to art. It is pervasive in the
design of tables and chairs, lamps, shoes,
book covers, autos, clothing. and other
items. One sees it every day without
realizing the source. Many museums and
galleries don't charge an entry fee, or
charge a minimal one. Libraries in large
cities loan paintings, as well as books, to
those with a library card. In many
European and American cities art is on
public display. Working people often
choose to purchase art rather then some
other item.
I doubt that most "art's purpose" is
opJreSSing the poor. That is Pembleton's
melodramatic concept and quite removed,
I'm sure, from most artists' intent and
purpose. An artist's main concern is to
create something significant and beautiful.
Pembleton's claim that art is a "tool" to
make people feel inferior is totally

fatuous. as well as fallacious. It is
possible, however. that some art may
seem strange or new 10 him. It may also
make him think which, in his case, might
benefit him.
He accuses that art "divides." I can
think of few things that have more
universal appeal than art. It communicates
across ethnic and cultural barriers. Art's
value transcends that of the monetary
because of its intrinsic worth.
He further accuses that the only
reason a person decides to "become an
artist" is "for money and fame." His
contention can be refuted by asking him
how many artists he knows personally
who are rich and famous. Quite a few? It
is to laugh. It is probably closer to the
truth that he could count them on one
hand.

Traditionally, Evergreen has been a
place for thoughtful consideration of the
direction of our society. This atmosphere
has fostered an awareness of the systemic
limitations and injustices affecting our
community.
Unfortunately, this awareness rarely
takes the form of action outside of a
seminar setting. Lifting the mystifying
veil of ignorance can prove to be an
overwhelming
and
disempowering
experience. However, if we let the
monumental need for change overcome
us, we often relegate ourselves to a

Start early and make your Grad school plans
by Joseph E. Luders,
1988 Evergreen Graduate
Somebody told me that Grad school
is a sham. They said that if you write
books you don't need a degree that says
you can write books. If, however, you
want to teach or be regarded as having
"informed" opinions then you must have
the
degree.
There
are
probably
exceptions, but not may.
Finding and getting into the right
graduate school is fairly complicated and
drawn OUL
My best advice is simple - start
early. An early start could save you
many needless hours of frustration that
come from scrambling to flll out an
application at the last second or from
missing deadlines entirely. Be forewarned
that the ordeal of identifying the right
schools, getting and completing the
applications takes a lot of time.
Be organized. Any complicated task
requires that you chop up the diverse
elements into smaller pieces. I set up
several files to cover the relevant
materials; "GRE stuff', "TranSCripts",
"Statement of Purpose", and a separate
file for each school that I was scriously
considcring. Choose an organizational
system that best suits your needs.
You need information to make any
decision. You need to know what you
want to do at graduate school, what the
different schools offer, where the best
faculty teach, what schools offer
alternative educational approaches at the
graduate level, and so on. There are
several information sources that can help
you get that information.
Start
with
a counselor. The

counselors in Career Development Office
can provide valuable general advice to
start you off. They can point you to the
right books in their library of college
catalogues, fmancial
aid reference
materials, etc. Thr.se books offer much
that you'll need to get started. Check out
what they have to offer.
The faculty at Evergreen are another
good source of information. They've been
through the process and often have lots
of suggestions. Faculty frequently know
what kind of work is being done at other
institutions. They can help pinpoint who's
doing "cutting edge" research in your
field and they often have contact at other
universities.
Once you narrow your focus get the
necessary application forms. These forms
explain what you'll need for an
application. Briefly, you will submit the
completed application form, one or two
official transcripts, Wee or more letters
of recommendation, GRE scores, a
statement of purpose, and possibly a
writing sample.
You will save an extraordinary
amount of time if you call the
appropriate office and ask them to mail
you an application. You will rack up a
healthy long distance phone bill but the
process goes much quicker.
Applying to graduate school isn't
cheap. Schools charge $35 to $50 in
application fees, not to mention transcript
costs, the infamous GRE and assorted
other goodies. Plan on spending a couple
of hundred dollars.
Try to visit the schools that you
most want to get into. Before you go,
contact the graduate school or department

to ask about sitting in on classes, meeting
faculty, etc. When you get there, be
curious. Explore. Talk with the faculty
that you most want to work with. Talk
with the students. The students can
probably tell you more about what's
really going on than anybody else. Your
appearance at the school increases your
chances of acceptance because you'll be
a person in someone's memory and not
just an application form.
Graduate school applications ask you
to, "List all your academic honors and
awards" or, "List all your published
articles". Leaving these boxes empty is
embarrassing and discouraging. Most
people applying for graduate school have
good grades so you'U need to stand out
in some other way.
Make your application · stand out.
The peculiarity of evaluation transcripts
can help you noticed but you may need
something more. Try getting published in
a scholarly journal [Editors nOle. Or even
the CPJ.j Deliver an address or present a
paper. Participate in or sponsor a school
symposium. Attend a conference in your
field
or
pursue
other
related
extracurricular activities.
Read the "Chronicle of Higher
Education." This jownal (found in the
library) lists scholarships, calls for papers,
and conferences around the country.
Read the journals in your field and
get familiar wi th the issues being
debated. You will also fmd more listings
on conferences and calls for papers.
Join a society that represents your
field. There is an organization for
everything and there is an index to these
organizations.

Try to do well on your Graduate
Record
Examination (GRE).
Most
graduate schools require the GRE
although the various components of the
tests have a differing value depending on
what you are doing. For instance, if you
are doing literature you will need a high
Verbal score.
I took the practice GRE several times
and I raised my scores significantly.
Practice makes perfecL If you have the
time then practice until you've got it
down.
Every graduate school wants one or
two official transcripts from
the
Registrars Office. You should find out
from the prospective graduate schools
how many transcripts they want and how
they want them mailed to them. At
Evergreen, the Registrar charges $10 for
the fust and $S for each additional one in
that order. Buy a bunch. You'll need
them.
You have a problem if you take
possession of your transcripts and then
fmd out that the graduate schools want
transcripts sent directly from
the
Registrars Office. Either find out in
advance how the school wants the
transcript delivered or go crawling
pathetically back to the'<Office and beg
them to mail the transcript. The lauer
option does not please the staff.
I have heard several different
perspectives regarding how many schools
you should apply to. Some people say
apply to a many as fifteen. I think that
you ought to apply to 5 or 6, including
one or two back-up schools ·that you can
start and then transfer out of.

Scholarships can reduce the cost of graduate plans
by Joseph E. Luders
Paying for graduate school can be a
problem. There are several ways to meet
the financial demands of graduate school.
You can apply for scholarships,
fellowships, and grants which would help
cushion the shock to your bank account.
If you get accepted instituti~ns or
departments often offer some asslstan.ce.
This can come in the form of tUition
waivers, teaching assistants, research
assistants, departmental scholarships, etc.
Parents can help.
You can get government money by
applying through the Financial Aid Office
for work study, grants, loans, etc.
You can also work during the
summer or during school if necessary.
The categories of scholarships,
fellowships, and grants are sometimes
unclear. They are generally awards th~t
don't need to be repayed but they vary m
key ways.
.
Scholarship is often a gcnenc term
for money awards that can come from
many different sources and are based on
merit, need, or both.
Fellowships are often outright money
awards but they can mean studying a
specific program or paid study. at a
particular place (such as a uruverslly or
big library.)
Grants can mean money but often are
for doing specific (often post-doctoral)
research or are gifts given to
organizations to sponsor conferences and
other activities.
The stipulation on eligibility for the
various scholarships, fellowships, and
grants are outlined in the descriptions
which appear in many of the reference
books.
I have ferreted for scholarships
(hereafter scholarship includes fellowship~
and grants) and haven't found many \i
would like to apply for. The books say
that you ought not apply for more than
six scholarships or you'll spread yourself
too thin. Applying for scholarships is
almost as complicated as applying to
graduate school.
There are many books that will aid

you in your search. The Peterson's
Guide offers a fairly good listing of the
available scholarships and fellowships.
Books like Grants Register can help you
locate suitable grants.
Some big libraries have special
sections with reference books that identify
financial aid sources by discipline rather
than generally. Read the introduction of
these books because they are quite
helpful.
A visit to the University of
Washington (UW) library is probably
your best bet. At Evergreen some useful
books are in the Career Resource Center
but the best books are in the Reference
Section of the Library. Ask the Reference
Librarian for details. The UW has a
computer service that locates potential
scholarships for their students. If they
don't offer this service to Evergreen
students and you know a UW student
maybe you can get them to do the
process for you. Independent companies
can locate rmancial aid sources but I
have heard these places charge up to $80.
You should resort to the laller option
only if you are too pressed for time to
do the legwork yourself.
I applied for the Rhodes scholarship.
Big money, big prestige, and a real long
ShOL You must apply before you are 24
and the deadline is late October. The
Rhodes Scholarship is a full two-three
year scholarship to Oxford University.
Only about thirty people apply from
Washington. Rob Knapp, the Evergreen
Rhodes Scholar, has the necessary
information and applications material.
The Mellon Fellowship in the
Humanities is a whopping fellowship that
pays your tuition and includes a stipend
of 11,000 smackeroos. The National
Endowment for the Humanities might
have some bucks to offer. Don't forget
the National Science Foundation and the
Rockefeller Foundatation. You can apply
for quite a bit depending on you
academic focus.
Once you have identified the
scholarships begin the applications
process. You can telephone to get an

Page 6 February 16, 1989 Cooper Point Journal

application for most scholarships. For
some you'l\ need to be nominated by a
faculty member.
You can often tailor your application
to the specific scholarship organization or
graduate school that you are applying to.
For instance, a friend found out what was
in
the philosophy
being studied
department at Stanford and nearly
duplicated their focus in his final year at
Evergreen. When he applied they offered
him a big scholarship.
Know your deadlines. Generally you
will fmd most of the deadlines for
graduate schools and scholarships fall in
December and January. It's best to find
out what your deadlines are and write
them on your calender. Remember that
much of the material required for an
application takes time to compile
(transcripts, letters of recommendations,
writing samples, etc.) and the earlier you
get your stuff organized the easier it will
be.
Some departments have "applications
to be considered for financial aid"
deadlines that are earlier than the general
admission deadline. These peculiarities
can be tucked deep within the application
materials so carefully read everything
they mail you.
The more you impress prospective
graduate schools the better chance you
have in being offered an auractive
fmancial aid package through the
departmenL They will want to lure the
best to their school. Once you get
accepted and prove yourself you will
likely be offered additional financial
assistance. That's why the first year of
graduate school is often the most
expensive and successive years are less
fmancially devastating. You will also
likely establish residence after your fust
year which should dramatically decrease
your tuition costs (in public schools).
What about need-based financial aid?
You'll need to file the familiar FAF or a
GAPSFAS forms in order to get
government
sponsored
insitutional
fmancial aid. These forms were probably
devised by the same people that

attempted to simplify the income tax
forms so expect them to be annoyingly
complicated. Most schools I've applied to
want the fmacial aid material flied in late
January and February, March at the
latest. The later you apply, the less
money they offer.
At Evergreen you can get a FAF at
the financial Aid Office and a GAPSFAS
at the Career Development Center. When
I visited them in early January neither
office had the current forms required for
filing in the following year. I went to the
UW to get my hands on an 1989-90 FAF
and GAPSFAS.
I have heard that graduate students
get less government financial aid than
undergraduates. Graduate aid comes
primarily in work study and loan offers.
I hope you found these articles
useful. If.you want to learn more call me
at 943-0561 between S . 10 p.m. and I'll
try to answer your questions.
Remember, you're not alone. Good
Luck.
Art
Continued from pg. 5

There are easier ways to achieve
"money and fame" than by becoming an
artisL It is apparent that he is impressed
by the few successful artists, which
makes it clear on what he places the
most value. The great artists, such as
Rembrandt, Corol, Degas, Matisse,
Cezanne, Van Gogh, and many others,
achieved recognition which was well
deserved. Their success was a byproduct
of their industry and talent. It is doubtful
that they decided to "become" artists.
They were artists who decided to study
art to further their talent. Most persons
who decide to study art have some talent
at the start.
Should Pembleton's letter indicate
that he has studied art for "money and
fame," it could reflect the disillusionment
that he found instead. He had best
examine his own thinking, motives, and
capacities.

Rainbow Coalition Founding Convention: "We are the world"

continued from cover
One of the many humorous parts of
the speech was when Rev. Jackson talked
about the bailout. of the savings and loan
industry.
"No matter what anyone says about
the savings and loan plan, 'You read my
lips', You will pay for it.
"If George Bush can say 'keep hope
alive' and don't give me credit, I can say
'read my lips' and don't give him credit."
Rev. Jackson closed his speech by

talking about the Soviet Union and
discussing th~ need to learn the language
of the world's peoples. We should move
from "military confrontation to economic
cooperation. "
He pointed out that most of the
world's people speak another language.
Even in this hemisphere Spanish is a
dominant language.
"Since most people in the world are
yellow, brown, black, female, poor, non-

Christian, and don't speak English, we
must learn to speak the language of our
customers. We must communicate to this
world. It's the right thing to do. It's also
cost efficient.
"How are we measured? We're
measured by our character. What is the
measurement by' our character. How we
treat our children who are at risk in the
dawn of life, how we treat poor people
in the pit of life, how we treat old folks

in the sunset of life, how we treat the
stranger on the Jericho road."
Coming close on the heels of the
Founding Convention for the Rainbow
Coalition, Rev. Jackson's appearance and
speech may be signalling a shift in
American politics from the traditional
Democratic and Republican antagonism to
a government built around coalition. And
it was a great way to help celebrate
Black History month.

There are easier ways to achieve
"money and fame" than by becoming an
artist It is apparent that he is impressed
by the few successful artists, which
makes it clear on what he places the
most value. The great artists, such as
Rembrandt, CorOl, Degas, Matisse,
Cezanne, Van Gogh, and many others,
achieved recognition which was well
deserved. Their success was a byproduct
of their industry and talent. It is doubtful
that they decided to "become" artists.
They were artists who decided to study
art to further their talent. Most persons
who decide to study art have some talent
at the start.
Should Pembleton's letter indicate
that he has studied art for "money and
fame," it could reflect the disillusionment
that he foood instead. He had best
examine his own thinking, motives, and
capacities.

Rainbow Coalition Founding Convention: "'We are the world"

continued from cover
One of the many humorous parts of
the speech was when Rev. Jackson talked
about the bailout. of the savings and loan
industry.
"No matter what anyone says about
the savings and loan plan, 'You read my
lips', You will pay for it.
"If George Bush can say 'keep hope
alive' and don't give me credit, I can say
'read my lips' and don't give him credit."
Rev. Jackson closed his speech by

talking about the Soviet Union and
discussing the need to learn the language
of the world's peoples_ We should move
from "military confrontation to economic
cooperation ...
He pointed out that most of the
world's people speak another language.
Even in this hemisphere Spanish is a
dominant language.
"Since most people in the world are
yellow, brown, black, female, poor, non-

Christian, and don't speak English, we
must learn to speak the language of our
customers. We must communicate to this
world. It's the right thing to do. It's also
cost efficient.
"How are we measured? We're
measured by our character. What is the
measurement by our character. How we
treat our children who are at risk in the
dawn of life, how we treat poor people
in the pit of life, how we treat old folks

in the sunset of life, how we treat the
stranger on the Jericho road."
Coming close on the heels of the
Founding Convention for the Rainbow
Coalition, Rev. Jackson's appearance and
speech may be signalling a shift in
American politics from the traditional
Democratic and Republican antagonism to
a government built around coalition. And
it was a great way to help celebrate
Black History month.

I was not impressed with the lack of
notice in any commercial media, here or
in Seattle, where Khader also spoke. I
found regrettable:
• The comment of a visiting "socially
responsible" investment banker that these
Arab speakers are all "agents." Victims
have been called by these names:
terrorists, communists, witches, and
agitators.

because they would have to give "equal

The young white man stopped ringing
up the groceries of the Jeans-clad young
white woman to look at the next
customer who was placing her things on
the counter.
"Ma'am, you can't buy
those things with food stamps," he said
pleasantly enough.
"Why are you telling me that?" the
45 year-old black woman asked with an
edge in her voice.
"Aren't you on food stamps?"
"Why are you asking me that?" the
black woman asked with undeniable steel
in bee voice.
"Well, you look just like another
customer I have and ... "
"Oh, I see. Does she wear a $200
trench coat and $200 boots and wear
black glasses under her bleached hair? It
would be very easy to get two people
who look like that confused."
"I'm sorry, I, well I'm sorry," came
the response with a defmite hesitation,
this time not so pleasantly spoken.
"What are you sorry about? Perhaps
you are sorry that I found out by your
uttering only one sentence that you are a

sorry that I am not that poor black
woman who you can yell at across
another customer and cause her to be
embarrassed."
"I'm certain that he didn't mean
anything," another young white American
joined the fray.
The black woman turned to the
second white person and looker at her for
several moments, trying to.determine how
the entire mess occurred. Did it happen
because she had a black face, because
she was in Lacey, Washington, because
she was being too sensitive? Was the
issue treatment of blacks in America, or
a lack of respect for the poor? Why had
the woman sided with the clerk instead
of with her? Did it have to do with
white America's knee-jerk reaction that
requires a show of a unified white front?
The only solution for the black woman
was to leave the cart and the sto.a
without further interchange.
This vignette occurred to the writer.
It got me thiI}king about the reality of
being black in this country. I come from
a family of career-successful, family
oriented people. I called to relate the
incident to my siblings and all six of
them lau~hed first in recognition of the
commonality of the experience, then from
each of them I received a few words on
what is was like being black in America,
earning more than two-times the national
average for household incomes and
having either to take shot from service
employees, law enforcement personnel
and strangers or reacting to the treatment
and thereby being though uncivil, rude, or
uncharitable.
Being black in America is having
your blood boil when you see a truck
with a confederate flag.
Being black in America is waiting
for a transit bus by the side of the road
and knowing that cars will pass and
white Americans will assuredly yell
obscene things at you, and may aim their
cars in your direction. You are never
certain whether the car is meant to scare
you or kill you.
Being black in America is being
certain that when white people find out
what you do for a living they will say,

"Oh, good for you; I'll bet your people
are proud."
Being black in America in entering
the University of Washington from a
middle-class family small town in the
State of Washington and having the

As many of you knoW, before the
holiday break, .several offices and groups
on campus collected food for the
Thurston County Food Bank. As we
combined all of the contribution and
transported them down to the Food Bank,
it occurred to us that we should become
more organized about collecting items
and that we should collect at times other
than simply during the holidays. We have
therefore appointed ourselves as Official
Food Bank organizers, collectors, and
transporters. We would like to ask each

points of view. And although apartheid

justification would never be accepted for
denying a member of the African

Unfortunately the CPJ ran Khader's
press release under the heading of
opinion. While the information may seem
outrageous, it is by no means an opinion.
It was uncovered by one of the most
distinguished, talented and extensive legal
team ever assembled in U.S. history. Nor
should the information be unfamiliar,
since the national media hammered the
government on this case with television
news programs, 15 highly critical
newspaper editorials, and 450 news
articles.
Former Attorney General Edwin
Meese's major contribution to American
jurisprudence was the statement that the

First Amendment didn 't guarantee free
speech. By picking on Palestinians,
perhaps
the
most maligned and
misunderstood people in Western culture,
Meese hoped to provide a test case to
expand the McCarthy-era McCarronWalter Act and chip away at the First
Amendment, first for immigrants, then for
citizens. This is the underbelly of racism,
that eventually it hurts everyone.
Fortunately Edwin Meese got an
entirely different reception for the case in
Los Angeles, an area with a strong and
diverse immigrant community that values
free speech and recognizes the many
forms of racism pervasive in our society
and in U.S. immigration policies.
"Then
they
came
for
the
Palestinians. Shall we speak up or not?"
This revision of Reverend Niemoller's
famous
statement
on
social
irresponsibility in Nazi Germany was run
by Los Angeles area Jewish organizations

in the Jewish Journal in April 1987 in
support of Khader and the LA Eight.
Hailed as the greatest victory for
civil rights for its defeat of the
McCarthy-era McCarron Walter Act) the
case may be appealed to the Supreme
Court within the year. A news article
about the case and a petition urging
Attorney General Richard Thornburgh not
to appeal the case to the Supreme Court,
are posted on the EPIC news board.
There is this unhealthy fear of
conflict within our society and at'
Evergreen that paralyzes discussion of the
Palestinian issue though we continue to
fund their oppression with $4.1 billion
annually.

Proposed bill requires alumni trustees here
State bf Washington Senate Bill 5229
was introduced to the legislature on
January 18, 1989. It would require that
at least half of the Board of Trustees at
the Evergreen State College be alumni of
the school.
No such requirement is
presently in force; the board may be
made up of persons with no attachment
to the school other that their trustee
status. At this time only one of the
board members at Evergreen, Kay Boyd,
is a graduate.
If this bill becomes law, beginning in
1992 new trustees would have to be
selected from, former students until at
least four of the seven were alumni.
SB5229 was introduced by Senator
Gerald Saling and others and was
referred to the Committee of Higher
Education.
Public testimony was
receiv!l(i on February 9.
Questions
regarding the defmition of "alumni" may
create obstacles to the path of this bill.
The bill actually addresses all of

Washigton's colleges and universities, and
each school has its own (often rather
loose) definition of alumni. Only Eastern
Washington University, for example,
includes faculty or staff in its use of the
word.
Nevertheless, Senator Saling's bill
merits support As Evergreen continues
under the guidance of the board of
trustees, many community members are
becoming
dissatisfied
with
the
disappearance of the old Evergreen, the
traditional Evergreen. The mainstreaming
tendency pulls the school from its
alternative roots as it grows toward the
future.
Though the present board of
trustees works hard to build Evergreen in
a way which conforms to its tradition,
discontinuity cannot be avoided, since the
isolation inherent in board member's
positions hinders a complete perception
of the school's underlying emotion.
Rhetorically the job can be done, but for
sensitivity and empathy the college needs

flavor of the old Evergreen in the

Wishcraft help~ you create work environment
by Leticia Nieto-Johnson
Part of the work that we do at the
Career Development Center is to invite
you to use your imagination as you think
about work. When you imagine, you get
a closer picture of what you want. This
week we are sharing an imagination
exercise with you. This exercise comes
·fromthe book Wishcran by Barbara
Sher.
Your Ideal Environment
In one paragraph answer this
question: In whal imaginary environment
would you best self emerge?
We've been ttained to ask, "How can
I fit into some pre existing environment?
How can I change myself to fit the
world?" When we go to the store, we
hope we'll fit into the clothes on the
racks. If the jeans are too long or too
narrow, it's we who are to short or too
fat. If we happened to have three arms,
we'd cut one off rather than politely but
fumly insist on a jacket with three
sleeves I
This time, just in fantasy, try shaping
the world to your needs for a change.
Imagine an environment that is perfect
for someone for your characteristics - a
world so tailored to your nature that
you'd be at your best in it without
changing yourself one bit. Let the
environment do all the work for you.
"Environment" is your human
environmenc the kinds of people you'd
like to be surrounded by; how much

privacy you need, and how much
interaction; what kinds of help you'd like;
what kinds of responses you'd want to
your ideas.
You might need to be challenged.... or
just really listened to. (You will certainly
need to be respected.) You might want to
be a teacher, with the opportunity to
inspire your students; or a learner,
surrounded by people who teach you all
kinds of fascinating things. You might
want to be in charge of a large operation
staffed by cooperative, efficient, loyal
people who are dying to do whatever you
teU them to. Or you might prefer to be
a member of an egalitarian group effort.
It's up to you.
And "Let the environment do the
wort for you" means don't change
yourself mthis fantasy. Above all, don'l
