national origin in considering individual's admission, employment, or promotion.

housing.
The same right of privacy extends to personal papers,
confidential records, and personal effects, whether maintained by the
individual or by the institution.
INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM AND HONESTY:
essentia~ condition for learning is the freedom and right on the
part of an individual or group to express minority, unpopular, or
controversial points of view.
Only if minority and unpopular points
of view are listened to, and are given opportunity for expression will
Evergreen provide bona fide opportunities for significant learning.

Ed itor' s note:

Childrens books needed at grade school
by Darrel W. Riley
I had a chance recently to ponder
the destruction that can be wreaked by
one person. The Hood Canal School
was attacked by an arsonist The
arsonist destroyed most of the building,
damaged the furniture, and books. This
is a school which accepts a lot of
Evergreen student teacher interns.
I went to help them salvage what
was left of their furniture and the
devastation was incredible. lf only one
person could do as much to create as
this person did to destroy lIn this case
there is something each of you can do
to create what has been destroyed. If
you have any books which you feel
would be appropriate for school age
students up to the 8th grade please
bring them by the CPJ offices and we
will add them to the Hood Canal Grade
School's library. I'm not sure where
that will be, they are starting classes
next on the fairgrounds and in the gym
but wherever it is we will be sure and
get the books to them.
Black History Month is here! I feel
less hope about the advancement of
Black people than any other time. All
because of one sili"vey and one Supreme
Court decision.
The survey. The NAACP Children's
Defense Fund did a survey and found
that Whites don't think Blacks are
discriminated against. However, when
asked if Blacks are promoted equally,
and of other specific instances of
racism, they admit that Blacks are being
shafted. Strange dichotomy.
The Supreme Court decision. Sandra
Day O'Connor wrote a recent opinion
in which the Supreme Court decided
that minority set-asic:le programs weren' t
constitutional because specific instances
of racism had not be proven.
The case the Supreme Court
decided involved a city which was over
30% Black but where less then 1% of
the city contracts were going to Black

contractors. Isn't that racism?
That decision made me think about
racism. Racism is a personal thing. For
instance, I work with a woman who
doesn't like me, in part, because I'm
Black. Yet I cannot prove racism
because my knowledge of this woman's
attitudes are based mainly 'o n feeling.
Last year I had an unpleasant
incident at Evergreen where I was
insulted by someone who didn't know
me. Was it racism? Is there another
explana,jon?
Because racism is often subtle the
best measure of racism is in the
statistics. The Reagan Administration is
very fond of using Martin Luther King
Jr.'s expression, "judged not by the
color of their skin, but by the conlent
of their character." They used it to
justify not using the quota system
because it was "reverse racism."
And yet, statistics are the only way
to determine if an institution, as
opposed to a individual, is racist.
Evergreen doesn't have many
people of color. I know "The
Administration"
isn't
consciously
keeping people of color out. Most
administrators make an effort to recruit
people of color but the statistics show
that their efforts aren't very successful.
In some sense I consider that racist
One only has to walk around
campus to see the effects. I am
embarrassed to note that I know almost
every Black person on this campus. I
am embarrassed because there are so
few that it is possible for me to know
them all. I was hoping' there would be
so many that I could lose track.
Why aren't more people of color
at Evergreen?
What skills or learning does
Evergreen provide them? It sure isn't
job skills. It is entirely possible to
come to Evergreen and leave without
any specific job skills, and many

drive in. Having escaped an accident
recently where a woman tried to drive
through a building that I was in I was
again reminded of how fragile our lives
are. There is one very important lhing
that you can do to save lives.
If you drink, please don't drive. If
you are going to a party where you
pIan to be drinking, designate one
person who will not drink as the driver.
And for God's sake wear your seat
belts. I am tired of seeing the obituaries
of drunken drivers or idiotic people
who don't wear seat belts.

come to 'learn.' How many people of
color can afford to spend four years
away from the job market just so they
can 'learn' when they aren't guaranteed
what they learn will help them in later
life? Not many.
The attitude that a student can come
here and get an education that only
marginally improves his/her job skills is
racist I don't know any person of color
on this campus that isn't working in a
job to support their school career. I had
a teacher tell me last year that students
shouldn't work and go to school. He's
right, they shouldn't, But some of us
have to; we can not afford to go to
school otherwise.
I don't know· if Evergreen can ever
become less racist as an institution. It
would mean re-thinking this school's
goals for a student's education which I
don't think will happen because it
}Yould threaten
the
present and
anticipated student body's concerns and
beliefs.
Today it snowed. A lot. Snow is
great stuff to play in but not so fun to

So you want to be an artist? You
want to make the world a better place
to live. Gee, isn't that swell? Isn't that
naive.
You're fooling yourself. More
exactly, you're willingly letting the
powers that be fool you. What purpose
does art serve? Not to awaken the
masses, that's certain. How many poor
starving people, homeless
people,
people, third world people buy art Or
even see iL
Don't be stupid. Art's purpose is to
maintain the status quo. To entrench the
rich and powcrfu1 even more flfffily into
their positions of control, and to ensure
that the poor can not change their
status. Art is a tool of division, like
p r oper
grammar.
These
are
psychological tools which make those
who can not afford them feel inferior.
Art is used to alienate the poor. It
establishes clear lines and boundaries to
divide and subjugate classes.

The beauty of art, and other tools
like it, is that those being put in the
position of inferiority accept this form
of oppression as valid. They believe
they are inferior because they accept the
standards of their society. They are
born into a system which is
psychologically designed to enforce
their inferiority, and which leads them
to believe in their own lesser value.
Art is a tool of the upper classes to

subjugate and oppress those below
them. It is a form of psychological
oppression and enslavement It is
through psychological enslavement such
as art that the powerlul truly remain
powerluI. Because it is subtle, invisible,
unrecognized by its victims, this type of
oppression is far more powerful than
force, which can be engaged in battle.
Psychological oppression eats its victim
up from inside, destroying their self-

esteem, so that they accept their lot.
So you want to be an artist? Don ' t
lie to yourself, you want to be an artis.
because you want the money and fame
associated with successful art Vanity
and selfishness are your reasons. You'll
serve your corporate masters with a
smile and a bleached conscience
because you want to be blind.

Opposition to diversity is within us all
Recently the~ has been ' a lot of
controversy dealing with the acceptance
of religious, political, racial, sexual, etc.
differences that are alive on our
campus. We all had the chance to take
part in the extraordinary cheer of "The
Demonstration of Unity" that occurred a
few weeks ago. I am proud to admit
that I was part of that festivity.
I am a local Evergreen fairy (gay if
you don' t understand the terminology)

and am interested in the "nonacceptance factor". Is there a society
or one person who does not accept

Greener dogs should be free
Today I found an old friend chained
to a garbage can.
My friend had
broken no law, but had been
condemned without trial. 1 wanted to
let my friend go free, but I knew this
would only bring a greater level of
imprisonment. So in the end, I left.
But somehow I kept hearing a voice in
the back of my mind saying "You' re
just following orders."
So what is this all about and what
can be done. My friend is a dog and if
I had freed my friend, 1 think that they
would have put Kasa into the cages

behind lab 2. So what can be aone,
well I could say that . those people who
say that harmless friends of mine must
be chained up, are people that scare
me, thus they should be kept off
campus (under the provisions of the
social contract). But that would mean
the Board of Trustees and I know that
equality is but some cruel joke here. I
can and will ask for a change, but I
. have doubts about that I can ask you
for help. Help.

order to teach the children about the

GeoVoice is almost official governance structure

The process of plecmg together a

In probably the most cooperative and
productive two hours to date. the fmal
details of the "Geo-Voice" were
thrashed out is the second half of last
WednesdaY's meeting. And. true to the
spirit of Evergreen and the consensus
process. we present a document with
which everyone involved in it's design
can feel comfortable with. That much
said. before the process continues. two
questions need to be addressed: what

next? and. almost as importantly. why
the hell has it taken so long?
First, why has the process been so
drawn out? Most people at Evergreen
know what working on group projects
is like.
Even in projects involving
three or four students. differences of
opinion can make completing a project
difficult. This structure is the product
of a massive group project. But instead
of three or four people. about 250 have

Which leads us to our second
question -- what next? By the time this

scribbled upon by wonderful and wise
administmtion and Evergreen's legal
consultant. And. if things have gone as

Opinion: faculty need environmental awareness
by Burt Guttman. faculty
Anyone whose life is largely
devoted to teaching must have some
sense that his work is going to make
some difference in the lives of his
students. And I think most of us at
Evergreen are also convinced that
people only really learn what they
aclWllly dp.
And so I have been
wondering · whether anything can be
done to help Evergreeners develop an
awareness of some critical problems-environmental
problems··and
make
some simple changes in their actions.
: Like many Evergreeners. I have
incorpomted into my own life some
concern ~Ul the environment we live
in. a concern that approaches panic as I
look at our rapidly deteriorating
environment But all around me are
signs $owing how . little that concern is .
~aredo P.Jl~~.:. .The lIiglls, are in rOQms
that have been left with all the lights
on no one being caring enough to flip
~ switch.
They appear primarily in our
demonstmted attitude toward garbage-.or
toward stuff that shouldn't become
garbage. Wastebaskets get filled with
aluminum cans. glass bottles. paper
cups. and tons of recyclable paper. The
fact is that, as in the world outside the
campus. most people just don't give a
damn.
There
is
an
environmentalist
tmdition at Evergreen. It was initated

by some founding faculty. and it
continues among faculty members and
students who are deeply involved in
environmental studies.
But there are
many
different constituencies and
sensibilities in this community. and
environmental awareness doesn't seem
to extend to most of them.
So the
lights are left on and the trash
accumulates.

Housing battles maintenance problems

Dissent brings anger from student groups
by Sheila Johnson
In December, a student named Jean
Yang wrote a letter to the CPJ
concerning racism, highway signs, and
how they relate to her. Her analysis of
the signs that say "Welcome to Olympia
- An All-America City" was factually
incorrect and, I felt, analytically lacking.
Jean misread those signs, and used
them as a soapbox from which to spout
some familiar Evergreen rhetoric about
racism. I disagreed with her approach
and methods and made my feelings
about Jean's letter and the First
People's Coalition known is the January
19 issue of the CPJ.
Soon after my leuer was published,
April West-Baker, Director of the
Coalition, wrote me a letter to inform

me that she knows there will be at least
two administrative responses to my
letter in this edition of the CPJ. That's
good; I've been . waiting for some kind
of response...
However,
the
First
People's
Coalition apparently feels that my moral
travesty merits more than just two
anicles. They have decided to make a
weU-organized frontal attack upon my
integrity and opinions. Ms. West-Baker
informed me that she encouraged
members who attended the Coalition's
"community" meeting to send personal
letters to me. (Considering the fact that
only Coalition members attended the
meeting, I am curious as to why Ms.
West - Bak e r
used
the
word

"community.") She wrote to me that
she hopes this is all right. Sure; that's
great. And, "Thank you," Ms. WestBaker. I just ~ letters.
Ms. West-Baker also informed me
that the First People's Coalition does
not wish to "invade my privacy" or
cause me to feel "further victimized" by
the mail they have previously sent me.
In my letter to the CPJ, I did not
mention my privacy, or any suggestion
that the Coalition was victimizing me.
If I was paranoid enough to believe that
the Coalition was doing these things, I
would have said so.
The tone of Ms. West-Baker's leuer
to me was vindictive and facetious. It
seems thai her vindictiveness concerning

a view which is opposed to her own
has impeded her administrative ability
to act calmly.
I have publicly questioned the '
validity and righteousness of one of
Evergreen's most popular approaches
to racism. As a result of this dissent,
I have incurred the wrath of one of the
most powerful and complacent groups
on campus. I made an attempt to
think for myself.
This apparently
constitutes unacceptable behavior, as I
am being made to wear a scarlet "T'
for "Traitor." It appears thai, because
I am a person of color, I am expected
to accept without question all of the
Coalition's viewpoints, or else pay the
consequences.

I regret that Sheila Johnson came to
her own conclusions about student
organizations without ever being an

community, evident from the numerous

around campus.
If student groups were separatists
then people with more than one

themselves to be constituents of other
organizations.

Center, and Women of Color are

cultures and interests.
Student groups have not absolved
themselves of the responsibility to
change things. They have sponsored
workshops, invited guest speakers, and
sponsored events to promote cultural
and ethnic awareness such as the
celebration
of the
"Peoples of
Washington."
Sheila stated that she "... (does) not
wish to fraternize with groups which
use their funds to hold dances for

People of Color." No student group has
ever sponsored dances for People of
Color.
People of Color have
sponsored dances for the whole
Evergreen community. I can't see the
racism or hypocrisy in dancing and
celebratirig with fellow Evergreeners.
Sheila stated that "80-90% of the

Where did she get those
percentages? It seems that she has
implied that 10-20% of the racist ideas
are in some way positive!
Sheila asked "How does a person
'deal with' racism? By being racist
right back?" There are many ways in
which a person can deal with racism.
Explore the personal impact of
racism upon yourself.
Everyone is
affected by racism, People of Color are
affected in negative, oppressive manner.
Respond to racism to not with hate,
but love and compassion for others.
Don't let racists make you bitter about
yourself. Instead, realize that in a way
it makes you a strong character if you
can deal with racism and not hate.
Racism limits Caucasians' ability to
interact with people are aren't
Caucasian, so People of Color have the
potential to empathize wit others show
are oppressed.
Be proud of your cultural heritage.
This is key to becoming a contributing
member of society and to extend
yourself to others. High self-esteem is
important, don't let anyone make you
buckle under.

The FPC and other student
organizations do not organize to hate.
They organize to break down the
barriers between people of diverse
ethnic and cultural backgrounds, sexes,
religious affiliations,
and ' sexual
preferences. They don't want to build
walls, they try to build bridges.
They build bridges by empowering
themselves and then reaching out to
others so that people can l~ about
themselves and from each other. The
student groups f;8Il be a resource center
for multi-cultural education and shared
experiences.

First Peoples Advising supports
by April West-Baker, Director of .
First peoples Advising Services
I would like to take this opportunity
to share with the TESC community
what the First People's Advising
Services is all about After reading the
opinion piece written by Ms. Sheila
Johnson (Jan 19), I run assuming that
when she used First PeOple's Coalition,
she was referring to First People's
Advising Services as opposed to the
S&A funded student groups.
The office was developed in 1973
out of the efforts of students, staff and
faculty of color to promote cultural
pluralism and to reverse the national
trend of men and women of color being
under represented in higber education
and in the labor market
I find it a missed opportunity Llt8t
Ms. Johnson did not contact the office
to learn more about the history of the

Groups celebr'ate cultures
by Ted Hong, Student Groups Coordinator
I was disturbed by the allegation
made by Sheila Joimson (CPJ 1/19/89)
that student groups such as Umoja,
Women of Color, MEChA, The Indian
Center and Asian Pacific Isle Coalition
are in some way racist and are guilty of
indulging in hatred and separatism.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The First People's Coalition (made
up of the above groups) are dedicated
to exploring and celebrating the
histories and cultures of the various
peoples that make up U.S . society. The
groups consist of students and are run
by students with assistance from staff
and faculty advisors. They sponsor
speakers, exhibits, fIlms, dances and
cultural celebrations that greatJ Y enrich
Evergreen life. All these events are
open to the entire community and are in
fact aucoded by a broad spectrum of

.

people. Try to imagine Evergreen
without Black History Month, Heritage
Week or Cinco de Mayo. Should we
eliminate events such as Peoples of
Washington or Tribute to Japan because
they celebrate cultural diversity? To
explore cultural and ethnic identity and
then reach out to the . community at
large seems to me to be an honorable
pursuit.
I fInd it interesting that Sheila
Johnson concludes her opinion piece by
bemoaning the fact that life in the USA
is often reduced to eating hot dogs and
trying to make payments on Chevy
cars. That vision of our common culture
could well be quite accurate is the
peoples that make up our nation were
stripped of their right to celebrate their
histories, cultures and identities.

organization or to clarify what in fact
we are about. Or just to say that she
would like her name removed from the
mailing list
We are under no
compunction to force people to receive
information about upcoming events or
to become involved.
We do endorse the mission of the
college and the strategic plan which
calls for and increased appreciation and
awareness of culture. We believe that
in order to understand and appreciate
other cultures one must flCSt understand
one's own, including one's ethnic
heritage. I think this is the basis for
mutual and shared respect.
I can't
equate defining a positive ethnic or
cultural identity with either externalized
or internalized racial hatred. We are
not here to advocate oppression, but to
suppon those students who have
in
fmding
requested
assistance
constructive ways to counter the
oppression that they may have faced at
T.E.S .C. One way that students have
found to do this is by discovering that
they are not alone in this experience.
This process' of exploration and
discussion with other who share this
commonality can assist with healing
past experiences associated with being
discriminated against It can also be a
bonding experience which, for those
looking in from the outside, could
easily be interpreted as being
"separatist" or ,"segregationaIist • It is,
however, only one step in the process
of learning to appreciate yourself and
others.
We welcome Ms. Johnson and
others of the T.E.S.C. community to
contact us if there are further questions
or concerns regarding our office. We
are located in the Student Advising
Center which is on the first floor of
the library boilding. Our extension is

The last two years have not been
the best for living in Evergreen's dorms
or mods, especially in the Phase II
dorms (the "new" dorms) built last year.
It's hard to flOd a person in the dorms
who doesn't recite a litany of
complaints: clogged plumbing, falling
trees, intermittent heat and power, etc.
But as . Jeannie Chandler head of
housing explains, pan of the problem is
that there isn't enough money to repair
everything that's gone wrong, at least
not yet
"Housing
is completely selfsupporting," Chandler said. "In State
jargon we are called an auxiliary
service, as is the food service and, the
bookstore. We don't receive any State
money. Every time someone damages
an elevator, everyone's rent goes up.
"The major problem for us in Phase
II has been the mechanical systems.
The general contractor that built these
dorms declared bankruptcy did not pay
the subcontractors. One of those,
allegedly"
wps
the
mechanical
subcontractor. Another, allegedly, was
the landscape person.
';These kinds of .things can take
months or years . to 'resolve so we
settled the mechanical part and the
landscape pan out of court but to my
knowledge, as of January 31, 1989 the
documents haven't been signed."
The tentative settlement means that
the mechanical subcontractor will come
back and repair the mechanical system.
The mec/lanical system includes the
heating system, so when that system is
repaired students will not have to be
without heat.
Pan of the reason for the difficulty
was that a cost benefit analysis showed
it would be cheaper over a long period
to heat llJe dorms with stearn provided
by Evergreen's stearn generating plant.
However, few people had the necessary
experience in the mechanical system
needed to support the stearn heating.
Therefore
some
problems
were
expected; what was not expected was
the extent of the problem.
The pipes are currently breaking at
their joints due to expansion or
contraction when the weather changes.
"When a pipe breaks we go back in
and fIx the problem," Chandler
remarked. "But we're reluctant to spend
any of our operating money on that
until we have a settlement. I'm
confIdent the mechanical system will
be fixed, but we want to schedule

fIXing it, and perhaps excavating at a
time when we are not disrupting
student's lives.
'
"If it could be done at Spring
Break we will do it then, but
depending on the magnitude of the
problem we may have to wait and doit in the 'summer."
The landscaping was settled last
fall, but by the time it was settled it
was too late to do anything. Chandler
related what was in store for the
future.
"We have a really neat student
who's in a program where he's doing
landscape design. He surveyed the
students and asked what they would
like in addition to the grass. Based on
the survey he got a lot of good input
on what the students want. We are
looking at the results to see what part~
of it we can afford to do.
"We are waiting on the landscaping
to see what he comes up with for a
fmal design and to see how much
excavating needs to take place."
Evergreen currently houses 776
students. Phase III housing will house
214 more, but it will only be built if
the bids (which are expected back in
the first part of next month) meet the
cost projections. It will be similar to
the dorms built in Phase II housing,
with modifIcations that came about
because of experiences in Phase II
housing.
For instance, the smoke detector is
currently in the hall ceiling, separated
from the electrical panel by a door.
When an electrical transformer shorted
out in onl) of the new dorms the
smoke alarm failed to go off. In Phase
III housing a smoke detector will be
installed next to the electrical panel to
allow it to catch electrical fires.
The falling trees were caused
through a combination of e-vents;
students' attempts to save as many
trees as possible, the contractor
respecting student wishes and trying to
save trees with root damage, and
strong winds pushing at unsupported
trees.
"When the three trees fell down it
was over the course of about three
weeks after some windstorms," Chandler
commented. "The head of the grounds
crew for the college, one of the leads
in the ground crew who has a lot of
expertise in trees, and I went out and
looked at each and every tree. I felt
that we had a responsibility to insure

people's safety. As much as I wanted to
save the trees I didn't want them to fall
down on people.
"We designated four more thai we
felt were marginal or diseased and
contracted during the summer with a
tree finn to have them removed.
"We learned to fence the really
valuable trees [during construction],
particularly the cedars. The contractor in
good faith took due care and
precautions but without the fence people
were going
through
there with
machinery. We also , decided to remove
any tree within 8 feet of the buildings."
Then there are the infamous "toilets
from hell". It often seemed that every
person living on a ground floor
apartment independently carne up with
that name for their toilet. Rick Hom,
head of Housing Maintenance explained
that most of the problems with the
toilets were caused by debris in the
pipes, either with pebbles in the water
coming in or with rags and bottles (I)
left over from the construction project
which were never removed from the
pipes.
However a lot of the smaller
problems, such as reversed hot and cold
water faucets, may be fIXed during the
summer when Housing can determine
their funding. Or they may not be due
to lack of funds.

't

"

"We have a ver:' serious deferred
maintenance problem. Maintenance work
that should have been done in the mods
or in A, B, C, or D years ago we've
never been able to afford to do.
"Except in A dorm, the rest of
dorms need to be re-roofed. The pipes
are deteriorating because of the types of
materials they used when they originally
built the dorms. We need to re-plumb
all of A, B, C, and D. In a lot of A, C,
and D dorm we have original carpets
which are 14 years old.
"When you total up all those things
you are looking at about $700,000
worth of problems. This has been
something that we've known about for
7 or 8 years but we've never had the
funds to correct them. We can't
borrow bond money to come back to
the original dorms to correct those
problems because we can't afford the
bond payments. So what we've done.
in conjunction with the Board of
Trustees, is assign a special task force
to take a look at the magnitude of the
problem. Somewhere in the next 10
years we need built-in safeguards to
take care of all these problems."
Housing is popular with Evergreen
students. They have a waiting list from
last fall of 408 people. But historically
there is high attrition Spring Quarter.
Evergreen students tend to get
internships, travel, or get in a program
that goes somewhere in Spring. The
on-going curriculum planning has an
impact, even on housing funds.
"From past projections we are
fairly confident [about our funding] bl1
if we don't have the same breadth in
the curriculum, or a number of othet'
things happen I don't want to spend
money that we don't have."
The asbestos currently in the
ceiling of the old dorms is
encapsulated with sealant. It will take
2 million dollars to remove it so
Housing has asked for a special onetime allotment from the legislature to
remove it. However, that money was
not in the Governor's recommended
budget and at this point it looks as
though the asbestos will have to stay a
while longer. Evergreen's safety
officer, Jill Lowe, has tested for
asbestos particles in the air and has not
found significant amounts.
In my talk with Mr. Hom I asked
him if there was any actions students
did that particularly irked him. He
wants students in housing to stop
pulling their cigarettes out on the
carpets or the tables. He says there are
enough ashtrays to use that students
shouldn't feel it necessary to damage
anything else to put out their cigarettes.

What is an activist?

Citizen's Guide and styrofoam on group's agenda

by Darrel W. Riley
Paul Loeb came to Evergreen two
weeks ago. It's hard to talk about his
work without being personal.
He
evidently thinks so to, his recent lecture
at Evergreen and his books Nuclear
Culture and Hope in Hard Times are
about the personal experiences of
people who work either building nuclear
bombs or protesting them.
He came to Evergreen, in part, to
explore the question 'What causes
people to become activists or to stay
passive?' I watched a room full of
students try to answer the question.
The nrst two students talked about
the experiences that made them either
passive or active, the next student gave
a list of possibilities that people might
use to become active.
Mr. Loeb then repeated the
question, 'What causes you (in
particular) to become active or stay

passive?' That lasted for another three
people, and then one of the students
began analyzing the responses that had
been given to that point
Part of the difficulty may be the
question that was never asked, 'what is
an activist?' Mr. Loeb did not ask it,
but everyone in the room assumed they
knew the answer. Being an activist
meant being true to yourself.
Part of the difficulty was that an
academic experience, particularly at
Evergreen, teaches people not to rely ,on
an y personal experience but to instead
only use outside sources' or analysis.
Mr. Loeb is taking on one of the
most difficult issues of our time,
nuclear
weapons
and
massive
destruction. His approach is personal
and therefore reaches a lot of people.
But I still wonder about the question
that was never asked.

Author Paul Loeb speaks at Evergreen.

junk?
Maybe we need the lesson
brought home.
Maybe there's another way.
Maybe the solution is for those of us
on the faculty and staff" who are
mostly employed as educators, to start
acting like environmental educators.
We have to be the ones to point out
how
serious
the
environmental
problems are becoming, to be sure
someone turns out the lights, and to
point oul what should be recycled.
Oro-since I don't have great faith in
the environmental sensibilities of most
of my coUeagues--maybe it must
simply be an Each One Teach One
system that begins with anyone who is
already aware. Many students are far
more aw!!~e and concerned than most
of the faculty appears to be.

Kreidler sponsors bill to toughen state
smoking regulations for employees
Legislation that would put the force
of law behind the Governor's policy
banning smoking in state office
buildings is being sponsored by Senator
Mike Kreidler (D-Olympia).
"It's one thing for people to harm
their own health by smoking, but
anothbr 'thing 'to flamf 'the' health 'of' the
co-worker breathing the cigarette
smoke," said Kreidler.
Currently, the Governor's August
1988 Executive Policy on Smoking bans
smoking in any portion of a stateowned' or leased building used by
cabinet agency employees.
Non-cabinet agencies, such as state
commissions and boards, have been
exempt
Kreidler's bill would not only make

the smoking ban state law, it would
extend the ban to all state worker, with
a few minor exceptions.
The legislation also would change
the state's current policy on smoking in
state vehicles. Currently, smoking is
allowed only when the driver is alone
in the car, unless permission is granted
by all of the. passengers.
The bill
would allow smoking only when the
driver is alone in the car.
"The governor's non-smoking policy
has been a good one and state
employees have cooperated well," said
Kreidler. "This is really housekeeping
legislation that extends the policy to all
state employees and gives it the force
of law." ,

guide.
A rating system might be
established for establishments meeting
certain
environmental
criteria:
"styrofoam free" stickers, for example.
The survey of grocery stores for
organics is similar in goal to that of the
restaurants but it involves the creation
of a consumer pamphlet displaying the
individual store results from an organic
foods survey. This is an effort to
educate the public about the dangers of
pesticide residues in market produce,
and influence stores to offer more
organic foods. WashPlRG intends to
give this information to the media for
wider exposure.
In addition to those projects,
WashPlRG gave out registration form
for Citizen's Lobby Day on Tuesday,
where people can meet with legislators

at the Capital Building to discuss their
concerns.
Lobby Day is an
opportunity for legislatures to learn
how his/her constituents feel about
particular
issues
of interest.
WashPIRG members see Lobby Day as
II way to inform legislators on the
degree of public concern with passing
better environmental laws.
11:00 - 12:00 a.m. Registration at
the Capital, room G-150 of the General
Administration Building.
12:00 - 12:30 p.m. Orientation to
prepare Citizen Lobbyists for meeting
with legislators and a chance for the
press to cover the event.
12:30, - 4:00 p.m. Lobbyists meet
with the legislators from their districts.
People who have not scheduled
appointments are free to join those that

do.
4:00 - 5:00 p.m. Chance to share
the day's happenings in the House
Office Building.
5:00 - 7:00 Dinner at Ben Moore's
Restaurant, 112 W. 4th Olympia, WA.
An

Lobbyists,
legislators, and WashPlRG staff to
meet one another.

by Michael Jackson
On January 24th, the Evergreen
WashPlRG chapter unveiled its projects
for Winter quarter at its General Interest
Meeting; a proposed review of TESC's
recycling program, composition of a
Citizen's Guide to Pesticides, an action
manual for banning styrofoam from
campus food services, and surveys of
Olympia area restaurants and grocery
stores.
The Citizen's Guide to Pesticides,
the largest project, will educate the
public about pesticides which the EPA
has
labeled
the
most
serious
environmental hazard. The Guide plans
not only to educate about pesticides, but
also to provide solution for the pesticide
problem to the readers.
The
information gathered for the Guide will
give WashPlRG a guide for their
upcoming campaign.
. Styrofoam bans at campus food
services, while a major part of the
national environmental movement on
college campuses, have not bee
instituted at all campuses, some of
whom
do
not have organized
environmental groups.
This project
intends to create a mWlual on the global
environmental problem of styrofoam.
and its contribution to the Greenhouse
Effect The primary goal is to .show
campus activists how to organize their
own campus environmental groups and
run successful campaigns.
The restaurant survey is primarily
targeted at causing restaurants to
discontinue styrofoam use and to begin
offering organic dishes.
Once
information OIl styrofoam and organic
meals is collected on Olympia
restaurants. a petition will be circulated
so Ihat students and other members of
the community can pledge to use the
results from the survey as a eating

You Can't Take It With You teaches lesson
by David Wagner

You Can't Take it With You was the
fIrst play I' ve seen at the Capital
Playhouse '24. The Capital Playhouse
'24 offers a warm and channing
atmosphere, even the concessioners
greeted us with sick humor.
You Can't Take it With You takes
place in the Depression era of the
1930s.
The decor of the Capital
Playhouse '24 added to the homey
feeling of this perfonnance.
The fIrst act was a little boring. It
was boeing because there was no story
line developing, just a bunch of
characters acting Wee lunatics.
The
actors were supposed to act nutty, and
they did a fantastic job.
I refrained from purchasing hot
apple cider during the intennission for
fear of a possible accident due to
boredom in the second act. However,
my fears were not justified.
In the second act the play exploded
with strong messages of happiness and
values. You Can't TakL It With You is
the story of a loving family of funny,
crazy, and happy people.
Money is
scarce, yet it doesn' t matter. Nothing
interferes with the loving relationships
found in Grandpa Vanderhors (Art
Lowman) family.
It is also the story of the nonnal
family life cycle, and pokes fun at the

Earth Month soon
by Monica Morrison
It's time to start thinking about
Earth Month! Although every month
should be Earth Month, it is an
opportunity for members of this
community to become informed about
environmental issues, celebrate their
relationship with the earth, and learn
how to take steps to improve their
environment locally and globally.
Earth Month begins on the fIrs t new
moon in April and carries through to
the next new moon on May 5, 1989.
Earth Fair, the big, fun community
festival, will be held on campus around
the full moon, on April 22 (the day
after John Muir's birthday).
Expect to see speakers, watch films,
listen to music, and participate in
workshops! Dance! Sing! Meditate! Get
Radical! Be Mellow!
Earth Month planning meetings are
every Tuesday at 6:30 pm at the
Environrnp.r"al Resource Center (CAB
306B). Everyone can become involved
by bringing theil special talents and
interests into its creation. It doesn't
even take much time- just enthusiasm.
If you'd like more infonnation. call the
"ERC" at ext 6784.

stages every family must face. Alice
(Heather
Davis).
Grandpa' s
granddaughter. falls in love with Tony
(Dayv Vanskike) who is from a very
wealthy family.
When she tries to
bring the two families together. there is
conflict Grandpa magically brings the
two families together and teaches
everyone a beautiful lesson in happiness
without money. After all. you can't take
it with you.
Several members of the cast are
first year Evergreen students: Heather

Davis, Chris Holccomb. and Laurie
Goff. The acting was fantastic. . You
Can't Take it With You was a refreshing
change from movies where you eat a
tub of greasy popcorn.
I highly
recommend the hot apple cider as long
as you don't spill it
You Can't TakL it With You plays
