Opinion: we rallyed against hikes, but now what?
by James Dannen
The first volley of the assault on
students by the Higher Education
Coordinating Board was standardized
testing. Despite students best efforts
standardized was not ;;!opped ~d t!"te
"Master Plan" continues; this time
taking form of uniform tuition rates.
Uniform tuition rates are no great
evil but when uniformity includes
increasing the cost borne by students, it
can only be considered an II1lIICk on
those of us already slnlggling to get an
education on a limited budget.
Once again, students are wortdng to
derail a set of policies that serve to
mock all aspirations at achieving
diversity, at enrolling and retaining
people of color, and at making higher
education a right and not just an
opportunity .
Students planned and held a rally
on the State Capitol steps last Thursday.
The rally came off relatively well,
drawing a crowd of about a hundred
students and its share of media attention
but even the culminating march into
Governor Booth Gardner's office left
little impact.
Rallies are fun. The provide an
opportunity to let out frustration and for
maldng grandiose claims of impending
victory. Unfortunately, as last year's
invasion of a HEC Board meeting
proves, the sight of a handful of angry
college students fails to strike fear in
lawmakers' hearts. At least not when
rallies are he culmination rather than
the beginning of a SlJ1lggle.
Organized opposition to any plan,
while certainly including a great deal of
ranting and raving, must move to
another level; a proactive stage. It's
not enough to oppose what the HEC
Board (or any other body) proposes.
A well defined and viable
alternative must be presented in order to
be taken seriOusly. We can't possibly
expect to achieve the goal of a more
just and egalitarian society if we are
always caught defending ourselves
against the actions of others.
Hope lies in actively pursuing our
own agenda.
Other colleges have
student lobbyists pressing for legislation
on issues of concern and relaying
infonnation back to students about what
is actually happening in 01,lJ capitol.
Evergreen has not only the location and
the resources to do the same but
unlike the typical college, a student
body unhindered by a disempowering
fear of authority.
Anyone interested in buDding upon
Evergreen's
tradition
of student
activism is encouraged to contact me
at the student governance office
(L3230; X66(2).

Activist shares wilderness adventures Tuesday
"I went into the wilderness to save
a mountain," says Lou Gold, "but the
mountain saved me."
Born and raised in Chicago, Gold
spent many years as a professor of
political science befm: walking away
from academic circles in search of a
more palpable life. In 1983. he decided
to hike to the top of Bald Mountain, a
six-mile-ling-ridge that borders the
Kalmiopsis Wilderness in SOUIhwestem
Oregon, and has since then continued to
remain and bold his vigil atop the 3,800
flpeak.
Having left the mountain after tlte
autumnal equinox, Gold will use the
winter as a time of instruction, traveling
and speaking until he returns to tlte
mountain in the spring. He has long
sought tltc protection of old-growth
trees and fears the convenion of our
divers national wilderness areas into
tree
plantations
through
"forest
management" policies.

American history is not neat and tidy
"You let a nigger come in through the
front door?"
"I don't want my son involved with a
white girl. He can dip his wick but that's
all."
I was in Redmond last year walking
lhrough a grocery store when I saw a
child walking down my aisle. I smiled at
him and as I smiled his mother came
rushing around the comer to protect her
child from "that nigger."
Have times changed?
"Mommy, mommy, come see. There's
a horse on two legs." My grandfather
looked to see a liUle boy pointing at him
as he walked through a small town in
Arkansas 50 years ago.
Have times changed?
The line at the top of the page was
from a woman after meeting her
daughter's boyfriend (my cousin) for the
first time. The second was my aunt's
response upon meeting my cousin's
girlfriend for the fust time.
Have times changed?
Americans tend to think of Black
history as something tidy, where they can
learn about the exploilS of individual black
people. But Black history isn't tidy. It's
a history intiffiately intertwined with the
histories of the other peoples of this
country.
.
,
For years my father'iuld his sisters did
not know that their grandfather was a
white man because their father felt that it
would upset them to find out. But Squire
Riley, my great-grandfather, was a white
Mississippi plantation owner who fell in
love with a black woman. He loved her
so much that they moved to Arkansas so
that they could marry. After they had two
children she asked him to return to
Mississippi because she was afraid for the
life of her children.
Have times changed?
Today I see mixed couples and mixed
children allover the Northwest And I
hear stories about their school experiences
that resound with the word "nigger."
Have times changed?
It's hard for me to write about Black
history during Black History month. Black
history is complex and layered, hard to
define. What is Black history and why do
we study it?
An Indian woman I love very much
once asked rhetorically why Chief Joseph
was so well known.
"His most famous soeech was 'I will
fight no more forever.' Why don't we
study the ones who said, 'I will fight
until there isn't a breath left in my body
or I've killed you all.' Why is our history
about those who stopped the struggle and
. not those who continued to fight?"
Martin Luther King Jr. was a great
man. His commiunent to non-violence
was exemplary, and his bravery and
resullS without question. But why don't
we study Malcolm X? His bravery was
no less, his commitment no less strong.
Th\.. difference was that he advocated
violence, if necessary, to gain righlS.
Blacks were slaves in this country for
a long time. They escaped from
domination not because the nation found
it morally repugnant but because of the
introduction of machinery. Haitians were
also brought from Africa to be slaves at
about the same period. Yet they had a
rcbellion of great violence. The domestic
servanlS poisoned their masters until the
whites fled back to Europe. Why don't
we study that revolution, the revolution
of a Nat Turner rather than that of a
Harriet Tubman.
Have times changed? Or are we
continuing to perpetuate the same myths
and stereotypes that have always plagued
us, servile criminal blacks who need to
be oppressed.
I worked with one of the nicest
people you would ever want to meet But
when he spoke there was often a palpable
air of fear in the room. Now that he's
gone no one talks about him. But when
a black man speaks his mind in an
educated way people are often threatened.
Have times changed?
I can't leave this subject without
noting the irony in our perception of
Black hislOry. The adventure novel, the

FOR

TIME EVER!!! Evergreeners
play when snow shuts down
TESC for two days.
I'd like to offer some comments in
response to Lee S. Pembleton's letter
suggesting that the purpose of art " .. .is to
maintain the status quo, to entrench the
rich and powerful even more frrmly into
their positions of control, and to ensure
that the poor can not change their status."
I would argue that the exact opposite of
this is true. The purpose of art is to share
beauty, offer new perspectives of the
nature of our reality, and to liberate the
human spirit.
When we look at art, we see the
world through someone else's eyes. This
is a very valuable way of being able to
appreciate another person's point of view.
Take a famous painting like Van Gogh's
"Starry Night" for example. Sure, there
may be an elitist collector somewhere
willing to dish out millions of slimy
bourgeois capitalist dollars to own it, but
a cheap reproduction conveys the same
message.
You look at it and at first you just see
a pleasant countryside slretched out
beneath a night sky filled with fiery stars.
It's really just a night time landscape. But
suddenly you realize, "Ah, I never really
looked at it quite that way before!" That's
the triumph of art. It opens us up to
seeing things in new ways as we share the
artist's creative perspective.
For this reason art has a greater
capacity towards liberating people from
convention rather that conlrolling them as
ha~less victims of oppressive psychological
wru:fare.
Remember those "Contra
Cocaine" posters that swept through
Olympia last year? Now there's a
triumphant example of how art can
challenge and provoke the status quo.
The message conveyed through this
display of art was so disturbing to the
ruling elite that most of the posters were
promptly 10m down or defaced by roving
gangs of hoodlum oppressive right-wing,
fascist, fanatic Ollie North fans .
Art does not oppress. People with
power, wealth, and a gross disregard for
humanity oppress. Art, like educational
systems, the media, or any other medium
for communicating ideas, can be a
powerful tool of oppression if used
improperly. But like any other tool it can

romance novel, and the greatest Russian
literature were all created by black men;
Alexander Dumas Pere, Alexander Dumas
Fils, ·and Pushkin. Why aren't they
studied more? Mark Twain was
influential, but these three men have
created genres of writing. Who reads
them today? The Three Musketeers was
written by a black man. Who learns of
that?
Have times changed?
One thing has changed. Barbara
Tuchman, one of the greatest historians
in our time died this week. I remember
a speech she made at the Seattle Opera
House. The place was packed, even the
upper balconies were loaded with people.
She looked out at the huge crowd and
said, "All these People for a writer?"

Jane Hunter, editor and publisher of
Israeli Foreign Affairs, will speak in two
noon lectures, February 13 and 14 in the
Library Lobby of the Evergreen ·State
College.
"Victims and Connections: From IranContra to 'International Terrorism, .. ' the
Monday lecture, will address the
systematic use of the doctrine of
international terrorism to justify foreign
policy initiatives of Israel, the United
States and their allies.
Hunter, co-author of the Iran-Contra
Connection, will also probe deeper into the
Iran-Contra
scandal,
the
Central
Intelligence Agency's role in foreign
policy and the international arms trade.
"The Hidden Story: Israeli and U.S.
Foreign Policy in Central America and
South Africa," will expose the complex
relationship between Israel and the United
States and their duplicity in foreign policy
initiatives in these two strategic areas of
the world. Hunter has authored three
books on this subject: Israeli Foreign
Policy: South Africa and Central America,
No Simple Proxy: Israel in Cenlral
America, and Undercuuing Sanctions:
Israel, the U.S. and South Africa.
Several other activities are also
planned for Monday. "U.S. Policy in
Southern Africa," is a chance to catch up
on the current situation in Angola,
Mozambique IIIld the new peace accord
over coffee in The Greenery at 10 a.m.
"Nuclear Proliferation In the Third World,"
a discussion and response session, is
scheduled from 1:30 - 3:30 PM in the
Lecture Hall Rotunda. "Destabilization of
Africa" from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., is a
potluck and reception for the author. We
will discuss the current situation in the
African continent. Bring your favorite
African cuisine.
There will be a lecture on
"International Terrorism"
Monday at 7:30 p.m., 4th Floor, Mallon
Hall, SI. Martin's College, Lacey, and an
interview on KAOS Radio on the same
subject at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, February
14.
Israeli Foreign Affairs is an
independent monthly report on lsrael's
economic, diplomatic and military
activities outside the Middle East, with a
special focus on the impact of those
activities on the U.S. political process.
Since its inaugural issue in December
1984, the magazine has built a worldwide
circulation.
Hunter has spoken on campuses, at
conferences,
conventions
and
demonstrations in the United States and
Europe. S he has discussed and debated
Israel's international role on Cable News
Network, BBC World Service, and many
local television and radio stations. Her
books are available at The Evergreen
State College Bookstore.
be used either constructively or
destructively. It just depends on how you
apply it.
I would venture to say that most of
the artists in this community are aware of
a sense of social responsibility and
incorporating this awareness into their art.
Few artists ever achieve any great amount
of recognition or wealth. Most of us
create art for the purpose of sharing our
vision with others or providing a small
amount of beauty in an increasingly ugly
world. When art is created for this
purpose it can't help but generate ideas.
A picture, as tJley say, is wordl a
thousand words. By the same token a
song might be worth a hundred feelings
and a poem a dozen dreams. (The "My
Bike" cartoon on the back of last week's
CPJ, by the way, is worth considerable
praise. That was one of the most
imaginative and original cartoons the CPJ
has seen in a- long time.)
Happily enough, the Evergreen
community is still a thriving regional
haven for both artists and progressives.
Let's keep it that way.

Students' perception of reality
clouded by diversity
We all know Evergreen students pride
themselves on their diversity-- whether
that be cultural, political, physical, sexual,
religious, or philosophical. And this is as
it should be.
Exposure to diversity can only expand
perception of our world and ourselves. But
there is a price to pay. Some Evergreen
students are so intent on their diversity
that their perception of reality has become
clouded, resulting in the erosion of their
capacity to reason. Two recent letters to
the CPJ from (respectively) Sandra Schadd
and Lee S. Pembleton are exemplary of
this lack of rationality.
Schadd argues (January 12) that
opposition 10 graffiti is censorship, and
that this censorship is indicative of
repression from "the Slate bureaucracy."
Schadd is expressing her diversity by
advocating a society with unconditional
freedom of expression. On the surface,
such a society may sound ideal.
However, Schadd fails to understand
that the authority she blames is designed
to protect her. Laws are written to
preserve the rights of the individual
against injustices Le., murder, destruction
of property, etc. Unwanted graffiti-- no
matter how artistic --is one such injustice.
If I was suddenly artistically inspired
to destroy her home, I doubt. Schadd
would support her argument or my artistic
expression. (Limited) censorship, although
an ugly word, is a necessary aspect of a
just society.
Another example of Evergreen
sensationalism was the letter (February 2)
from Lee S. Pembleton. He argues: "Art's
purpose is to maintain the status quo. To
entrench the rich and powerful even more
frrmly into their positions of control, and
to ensure that the poor can not change
their status."
Pembleton'S
anti-establishment
philosophy-- his diversity --has disrupted
his clarity of thought His mistake is a
relatively simple one: he simply confused
the method with the result He posits that
art is a "tool" of division, a conscious
conspiracy of authority to "subjugate
classes."
True, art is distinctly aristocratic in
nature, but this is only because the upperclass was hislOrically the only class with
leisure time 10 appreciate and promote art.
Art is not a method of oppression, but
rather a result of the separation of classes.
The flawed arguments of Schadd and
Pembleton are indicative of the impaired
reasoning facilities of many Evergreen
studenlS. They want so badly to jump on
the proverbial "anti-authority bandwagon"
that they have lost the capacity to look
critically at themselves and their world.
Todd Mauer
Graffiti artist
offers apology
As one of the people involved is spray
painting graffiti on campus last spring, I
would like to take this opportunity to
publicly apologize to the maintenance crew
of the Evergreen State College.
Our intent was political in nature and
in no way was it meant 10 slander the
grounds crew who work so hard to keep
our campus attractive. I have a great deal
of respect for the difficult job they do and
applaud them for the obvious amount of
pride they take in their work. This is a
beautiful campus and we have George
Leago and the folks in the maintenance
shop to thank for that.
Thank you for all the work you do.
My education and work. here at Evergreen
owe much to your efforlS.

Rainbow Coalition has founding convention
by Suzette Williams
The Washington Slate Rainbow
Coalition is holding its Founding
Convention this Friday and Saturday at
Evergreen. It is open to everyone, but
registration is required. There is a $25
registration donation fee and low income
support is available by request at the
Registration table.
At the convention, the coalition's goals
and organizational structure will be
decided upon and members will elect
officers. Although anyone can auend, only
Rainbow Coalition members can vote on
convention business. There is a $10
membership fee for those who wish to
jOin.
In addition to Coalition business,
workshops will be offered such as: the
Rainbow Coalition in the electoral arena,
lobbying skills and strategies at all I<wels
of government, coalition building, the role
of the church in building the Rainbow,
Rainbow positions on foreign policy,
environmental dangers and the politics of
AIDS, All workshops are open to
nonmembers.
One of the goals of the workshops,
and the conference in general, is educating
constituents and sharing ideas. Evergreen
faculty Lucia Harrison, a convention
organizer, calls the event "a real historic
momenL"
She says the Founding Convention will
attract people from throughout the state.
"It's a chance to meet people statewide
who are concerned about peace, jobs and
justice issues," she explains.
The Rainbow Coalition emerged from
Jesse Jackson's 1984 presidential campaign
as a group dedicated to speaking for the
"dispossessed." The Coalition is generally
known as the "progressive wing" of the
Democratic party.
.
The State Rainbow Coalition is
required to have a fo'unding convention in
order to be recognized by the national
organization. Jackson, the head of the
national organization, was invited to speak
Three key decisions by
Board of Tru'stees
Dannen responded by suggesting that,
while decisions under the Geovoice plan
will be made on a ninety-five percent
majority basis, election results toIaling
less than ninety-five percent can be made
available to the board of trustees.
A governance plan of some sort
should be ready for submission during the
board's March 8 meeting.
The board also heard a report on the
status and comments of Evergreen alumni
from Steve Hunter, Evergreen's official
survey taker. Three hundred forty-three
people who graduated from Evergreen
between 1985 and 1987 responded to the
survey which began last May, Hunter
said.
Compared to national nonns, more of
those surveyed indicated thaI Evergreen
contributed highly 10 their personal
growth in the following areas (staJting
with the greatest differences in norms
first): understanding different cultures and
philosophies; .understanding the interaction
betwcen humans and the environment;
writing effectively; exercising better
citizenship; thinking critically; working
cooperatively in a group; defining and
solving problems; appreciating ~d
understanding
the arts;
speakmg
effectively; and working independently.
Hunter said, compared to national
norms, there were five areas in which the
alumni reported that Evergreen did nol
contribute significantly to their personal
growth. With the greatest gap between
national and Evergreen norms listed first,
those areas were: understanding and
applying mathematics to daily life;
managing personal finances; understanding
and applying scientific principles;
understanding graphic information; and
organizing time effectively.

5-9 Registration in the Library Lobby
The Evergreen Board of Trustees took
action on three key issues Wednesday
resulting in a tuition hike for summer
school, the implementation of a five dollar
late fee for heal th service bills neglected
by students and the indemnification of
several Evergreen administrators pursuant
to a law suit filed by a former Evergreen
student.
Continuing with their 1976 decision
that Evergreen's summer school should be
self-supporting in terms of revenue, the
board voted unanimously to inorease
summer quarter tuition by seven and a
half percent as proposed by Karen
Wynkoop, associate vice-president for
academic budgetary and fmancial planning.
Wynkoop said the rate of tuition
increases was down slightly from the usual
10 to I3 percent to allow enrollment to
continue increasing at current levels.
The board also instituted a five dollar
late fee to be added to health service bills
left unpaid by students after two weeks.
"I think this might be motivating to
students that aren't paying their bills up
front," said Counseling Center Director
Shari Smj~ who proposed the action.
Under the advise of President Joe
Olander, the board indemnified Evergreen
officials cited in a lawsuit filed by former
Evergreen student Arthur West. An
executive session was called to determine
which officials where cited. Information
about the nature of the lawsuit could not
be determined by press time.
In other news at the meeting, students
James Dannen, Vikki Michalios and
Matthew Green presented the board with
the governance plan which they said will
be distributed to the student body within
the next week and a half.
Several members of the board
responded favorably to copies of the fmal
draft of the Geovoice interim student
governance proposal.
Students may vote to ratify the plan
between February 20 and February 25,
Green said.
"There will be voting booths in the
CAB between II a.m. and 8 p.m. every
one of those days," Green said, "so that
there will be ample opportunity for every
student to vote on it."
A two thirds positive vote is needed
to ratify the plan, he said.
"From a trustee standpoint, the
frustration over the years has been, you
know, what do the students think?" said
Board Member William Robinson. "My
COllcern would be making sure that where
there is an overwhelming majority for a
point of view that that point of view not
be blocked to us."

A spiritual song, a lIaditional song of
hope for a betler IOmorrow. It's also the
opening refrain to Mississippi Burning.
As the chords melded with the flames
licking across the screen, the song became
an anthem.
A Black church bums.
It's 1964. Three civil rights 'boys' are
missing and the Feds are rolling in.
Enter FBI men Willem Dafoe and
Gene Hackman. DaFoe is the a·number·
one policy guy--everything by the book-until he starts believing in his mission.
Hackman runs 10 the other extreme, you
think. He's a smalllOwn, Southern sheriff
tumed FBI inv.estigator. Doing his job,
he's unlOuched by the plight of the people
whose homes and churches,-miserable
hovels that they were--bum to the ground.
The movie is built around stereotypes;
it employs cliches. Yet, it raises serious
questions that any progressive, socially
concerned individual must consider.
The characters are stereotypes:
The hard-assed Sheriff and crew:
they'd as soon spit on an outsider as look
at her; brutality and murder are their Godgiven right since they're charged with
keeping humanity while and protestant.
A host of white, middle-class FBI
guys, with starched shon-sleeve shirts,
sixties power ties, flies, books, lelephones
and the ·other stuff it takes 10 set up a
giant bureaucratic investigation for three·
missing boys.
A beauty salon where the gossipy gals
gather gaily gabbing is matched by the
barber shop where the small-lOwn's big
business happens.
One lonely woman, raised in the
hatred of the South. She hates the
prejudice, the torment and the unfairness
of it all. She's married to the baddest ass
of 'em all.
Kazillions of reporters shoving
microphones in faces. While faces, that is.
Blacks by the dozen. Cute kids and
unatttactive adults. Everybody is longfaced, hump-shouldered and worn out.

Except one someday-going-to-be preaCher.
He's also the only one with any guts and
for that he gelS the s... whooped out of
him.
Dafoe, a pencil-pushing company
man, marches into the South asking
questions and watching his informants
bum.
Hackman approaches the investigation
from a distance. He's not overly
concerned, he knows straightlaced
questioning is hopeless. He used to run
a small IOWn himself. But, when the
lonely, miserable wife of the bad ass
attracts his atlentiOn, Hackman gets
serious, in a Southern way.
Dafoe · and Hackman end up as
physical combatants because of their
crime-solving philosophies. Finally, after
flames and dead bodies rise disgustingly
high, and the wife of the bad ass is beat
within an inch of her life, the FBI guys
become a team. They're ready to fight
fire with fire.
It works because it's real. Three
guys, two white and one black, really did
disappear--killed by Southern lawmen.
This Alan Parker film goes 10 great
length (afler the fllm) 10 explain that the
characters are fictionalized.
I know the story and this stereotype
stuff is real. Check last year's
newspapers. Lawmen are still beating up
the folks they're sworn to protect How
attractive and brave can a Black man be
when he's forced lOeke ·out a miserable
existance for himself and the family he's
spiritually bound to provide for.
The overriding issue--the one that
even at our enlightened best we have not
solved-is just how 10 go about truly
empowering folks.
People aren't empowered when cops
force them 10 talk.
Power doesn't come from hunting
down the one bad apple who unjustly
infringed on someone.
People aren't empowered when the
Jim CroV'( signs come down.
We can, I suppose, be glad for the
improvements. I can't really empathize
with the relief Blacks are expected to feel
by the fact that they can sit anywhere in
the bus when at the same time I'm
horrified that many can't pay a four-bit
fare.
Sure we've come a long way. That's
part of what the movie represents for
people who need reassurance that the
sixties were great years to be alive and
that we've done a great job. Now let's
make South Africa toe the line.
Wake up. Look around and you see
the face of the 'isms looming. Seattle
schools are suffering from white flight.

chche speech the lonely woman gives as
Mississippi bums, prejudice and hatred are

Compassion and respect, at least as I
understand them, are learned 100. But we
ain't teaching them enough. Why else are
there hungry people, Blacks without bus
fare and a need for cops and
administrations 10 watch us.
Many people, including quite a few of
my Black friends, say we've done good
now we've got just the last vestiges of
ugliness 10 prettify. ·So why do I feel like
we're losing ground and things are getting
worse?
Maybe, we're 100 distant. That's why
MiSSissippi Burning works. It's a searing
reminder that it happened... that humans

Racism isn't
closed case
by Suzetle Williams
Just before I saw Mississippi Burning
I began reading Derrick Bell's And We
Are Not Saved, a discussion of the
successes and failures of the civil rights
movement and prescriptions for its future.
I expected the fllm 10 address some of the
same issues as Bell. I was disappointed.
Mississippi Burning is billed as a
"powerful" fllm dealing with important
societal · issues. But the film did not
address racism in a substantial way.
The events in Jessup County
Mississippi are presented as isolated
events, nothing gives the film conlext. A
few violent racists are put away by
liberals from the FBI while the audience
cheers--end of SlOry.
There are no broader issues in this
fllm; blacks are lynched, beat up, and
forced 10 sit at the end of a lunch counter.
If the FBI can only convict these ugly
men, everything will be peachy.
There is no mention of a larger societal
problem save a IOken scene when the
sympathetic wife of a racist deputy utters
a cliche about hatred being learned rather
than inherent. No discussion indicating
racism may be systemic rather than
individual.
Attacking racism takes more than just
getting rid of a few southern Klansmen or
the "Colored" signs over drinking
fountains. That is why I found this movie
disturbing.
Mississippi Burning reflectS a
dangerous attitude prevalent today about
many civil rights issues--"We lOOk care of
that back in the '60s." But, as Bell points
out, "We have made progress in
everything yet nothing has changed."
"Progress" is one water fountain,
integrated schools and affumative action
programs.
"Nothing has changed" means Howard
Beach, disproponionate numbers of black
poor and unemployed, and skinheads.
Nothing has changed, saYS Bell,
because "as policy makers again seek 10
abandon civil rights enforcement, cenain
experts assen that the plight of blacks is
the fault of blacks." So the policy of
blaming the victim, instead of examining
syslemic racism, continues 10 justify the
subordination of Black Americans.
The fact is, despite the closed-case
scenario presented in Mississippi Burning,
where imprisoning racists and removing
Jim Crow signs cures society'S ills, blacks
are still treated as secondary citizens.
And Bell writes that some of the progress
made dwing the '60s and exalted in
Mississippi Burning may not have been
progress at all.
"The price of black progress was
~ benefits 10 the other side, benefits that
>- tokenized our gains and sometimes
.c strengthened the relative advantages
~ whites held over us." Bell argues

Several Washington cities violate Clean Air Act
by WashPIRG
According to preliminary data from
the Washington State Department of
Ecology, compiled by the Washington
Public Interest Group (WashPIRG) ,
Washington state violated Clean Air Act
standards in Seattle, Bellevue, Spokane,
Vancouver, Tacoma, and Yakima in 1988.
Spokane remained the worst in the
state with 34 carbon monoxide violation
days counted at a single monitoring
substation. In 1987, Spokane ranked
second only to New York City with 54.
violation days. National data is not yet
available for 1988.
Seattle had three violation days
recorded in the downtown area for carbon
monoxide, up from none in 1987.
"Violations may look bad on paper.
They look even worse when you see the
difficulty some citizens have breathing
when their air is saturated with excessive
levels of carbon monoxide. For example,
Spokane area residents choked on carbon
monoxide emissions nearly one out of
every ten days last year," says Wendy
Wendlandt,
Executive Director of
WashPIRG. "We must renew the Federal
Clean Air Act and provide incentives for
cities to comply with its standards."
WashPIRG, the Sierra Club, the
Northwest Conservation Act Coalition and
the Washington Environmental Council
called on fellow "environmentalist" George
Bush to stick to his word on cleaning up
America's air with 1000 postcards from
Washington State citizens. On a trip to
Boston Harbor last September, Bush
stated, "I'm for taking action to curb the
damage done by acid rain. The time for

"We cannot stand idly by watching
cities and states violate Clean Air Act
standards year after year. Violations
signal serious contamination of our air.
We urge George Bush and the
Washington Congressional Delegation to

Environmental Council representative.

for renwal in 1981, but despite repeated
·efforts to amend the old law (which has
remained in effect) to adequately address
current air pollution problems, a
reauthorization measure has never been
voted on by either the full Senate or
House of Representatives.
Attention has been focused on air
pollution over the past year due to
increasing alarm over the greenhouse
effect. "Study after study. shows that the
air pollution causing the greenhouse effect
. can be substantially reduced quickly and
cheaply by simply exercising efficient use
of energy," says Jim Baker, Northwest
Conservation Act Coalition representative.
Environmental leaders in Washington
state hope that statistics such as those
released today will move President Bush
and the Washington State Congressional
delegation to · act quickly to solve the
problem.
