In November of 1984, Joseph D.
Olander was named President of
The Evergreen State College. Since
then, he has addressed the problems
of Evergreen's image at public
gatherings, and fought on the
budgetary front both before the
legislature and in his own office during
the
administrative
reorganization.
However, some find the image of
Joe Olander presented to the public,
to be too good to be true, and questions have been privately raised as to
his motives. In an effort to answer
these questions. the Cooper Point
Journal interviewed President
Olander last week.
Olander: First, the stringency of our
fiscal situation. Second were problems having to do with a lack of
clarity in communications and
authority and decision making
within the management structure of
the college. Thirdly, I found deep
and broad misconceptions in the
region and the state about
Evergreen_ I had not realized that
Evergreen is not as well known
within the state as it is outside the
state. That surprised me a little
bit more than a little bit.

Forty-seven Evergreen students,
recipients of the 1985-86 Evergreen
Foundation scholarship, were
honored here at a dinner last night

Evergreen Foundation, past and present members of the Board of
Governors of the Evergreen Foundation, past and present members of
the Board of Trustees, and their
guests.

Scholarship is a full in-state tuition
grant. It is awarded to prospective
new, full-time Evergreen students
who have distinguished themselves
with contributions to their community through academic excellence
or other talents such as in science,

Freshman faculty advocates in depth view
- -- - - - - - - - -
Tim Crews, Editor of The Advocate.
photo by Dave Peterson
by Dave Peterson
Starting a new newspaper is all
kinds of fun. Just ask Evergreen adjunct faculty member Tim Crews,
tht; editor and publisher of The
Advocate.
Crews has established his paper on
the premise that the local area of
Olympia-Lacy-Tumwater wants and
needs a community paper that will
cover news in more depth than the
popular media has been doing so far.
He believes his audience is intelligent
and interested in matt~rs affecting
the area . He hopes that The Advocate will live up to his ideals for
good journalism. Crews feels that a
newspaper should be a "mirror and
magnifying glass on the community
and should try to do it with a little
wit and compassion.
"I'm really interested in two
things," he says. "One is solid community journalism. The other thing
is covering issues in more depth than
[ think most of the regular journals
are doing."
Crews went on to elaborate, mentioning a story his paper had done
on the economics and politics of the
Pacific Rim and all the controversy
surrounding it.
"I think the average person on the
street has a lot of trouble making
heads or tails of the deficit and
balance of payments, and what we
have to do is try to take those kinds
of complicated issues which are the
issues that we live with, and personalize them and make them
human," Crews said.
.
"I've been in the ' business 15
years, I've won a lot of awards, done
a lot of investigative journalism. I
think that if we've got any hope
coming in this country, it's going to
be from readers being able to have
enough information so that they can
come up with the new ideas. And I
think that in the Main, people are
not given enough depth; they're not
given just enough information and
it's not presented to them in a way
that they can read it."
The scope of The Advocate will
vary from community issues such as
a piece by Crews on the massive
roadwork being done around
Sleater-Kinney Road to international
politics when there is something new
to say.
"I was delighted with Dave Hitchen's piece on South Africa,"
Crews said. "It's the first thing I've
read that gave me any kind of an
historical perspective on South
Africa."

The Advocate's sports section is
different from other papers in a couple of ways. One is that it gives exposure to sports that one wouldn't
usually find in a newspaper: Sports
such as darts, and women's sports,
Crews notes, often have more par~
ticipants than typically ' covered
sports, but draw a smaller crowd.
Another noticeable difference is the
format in which The Advocate
presents its sports section. It's done
in a nip-style; when starting at the
front page, one need only nip the
paper over to find the front page of
the sports.
"Over the years, I've watched
people buy newspapers a lot, and
watched them pull the sports sections out of newspapers and throw
the rest away. I think sports
coverage is almost a separate
newspaper. In a lot of papers it's
almost a completely separate entity," Crews observed.
"This binds it together," he said,
ref erring to his format. "It makes
it quite distinct, it gives it a separate
entity, but it makes it part of the
same package, and the most delightful part of it is, it gives us the opportunity for another front page -thereby screwing ourselves out of the
opportunity to sell the back
cover ... What's life if it isn't fun?"
Group opens window on Central America
by Bob Reed
Jim Bradford, Unitarian Universa list Service Committee spokesperson, lectured here about the growing turmoil in Central America.
"I don't see any prospect for
peace for the next few years," said
Bradford opening last Tuesday's
talk.
The Service Committee is a non-
sectarian organization that has been
sponsoring visits of bipartisan congressional delegattons to Central
America since 1977. Bradford said
that the role of the committee is to
expose people to the complexity in
Central America.
"We don't push our line. We try
to expose congressmen to the widest
possible cross-section in both coun-
tries (Honduras and Nicaragua),"
Bradford said.
Bradford coordinates the visits to
Nicaragua, Honduras, and Costa
Rica. He said the short length of the
visits, two to three days, is a
frustrating handicap. He and his
counterpart in El Salvador also
research particular issues that aren't
being covered by the American
Olander: Never HSouth West Washington U. "
cont. from page 1
CPJ: What do you see as being the
greatest threat to Evergreen's continued prosperity?
Olander: I've always said that for
me, the central issue in the future of
the college is not closure, as has been
the case in the past, but that we
don't simply become Southwest
Washington University. This college
exists in an area where 578,000 people live within a 30 mile radius of this
campus. This growing urban area,
the fastest growing area in the state,
is going to generate demands on
Evergreen to grow and to have new
programs. We have to be responsive
to thaI in the sense of anticipating
those pressures in order to respond
to them in particularly Evergreen
ways. To ignore that is to court
serious jeopardy for the future of
Evergreen as we now know it.
CPJ: How are you dealing with that
issue?
Olander: The college has to put
together a strategic planning process
in which we involve faculty,
student s, staff, trustees, alumni and
our foundation Board of Governors
in shaping a strategic plan for what
the college is, where we want to go,
a nd how we're going to get lhere.
That has not been done before. Not
10 do that, 10 say rhat we're just going to grow helter skelter, would be
di sasterous. That's why I' ve commissioned a higher education needs
assessment ,-to find out what people
really need.
CPJ: Is there a time Ime ser for rhar
s tud y?
Olander: That study. will be completed by December 15 . In addition,
there have been questionnaires sen t
to faculty, a random selection of
students, a selection of alumni, all
of the state legislators, and a
stratified sampling of business, civic
and political leaders in Southwest
Washington asking them their
perceptions in terms of Evergreen.
That's never been done before.
There will be a separate questionnaire going to all faculty members
about specifically academic matters,
so that, in a nutshell, we'll have three
separate sources of data about how
people perceive Evergreen. When the
planning process takes place, we'll
have some hard data to work with .
CPJ: Enrollments are way up this
year. Do you see the possibility of
an enrollment ceiling?
Olander: I already have authorized
the closing of admissions for winter
quarter, and I'm seriously considering closing admissions for the spring
quarter as well. We were given
money for roughly 140 more FTE
(full-time equivalency) students for
the 85-87 budget biennium. We are
there already. My sense is that we
will go before the legislature the next
time and ask for more money to accomodate more students. I don't
want the co llege to grow without being able to maintain the quality of
our programs .
CPJ: We've been hammering at
some of the negarives so far. What
kind of positive things do you see in
the future for EVI,rgreen?
Olander: I think ' that 'wn-at's happenin g already is that we will bc a
beacon of how higher education
o ught to be delivered for the entire
country over the next five years .
We're already on the road to that,
but we're going to be even more visible. because it's only been recently
that the federal government and the
education commissions of the states
and other major higher education
groups have been talking about the
problems in higher education. And
when they talk about solutions to
many of those problems, it's like
reading the Evergreen catalog. I see
that trend as continuing. In addition,
I think that our alumni will be the
best investment we have in the future
of the college. It is imperative that
students come away from graduation feeling very good about
Evergreen. I want to function as a
stockbroker. I want to increase the
value of the investments of students
in this college over time. And the
more you read about what's going
on in the private sector, in the
business world, the more you see
that Evergreen students are going to
be more in demand.
CPJ: Is Joe Olander a workaholic?
Olander: I'm a playaholic. When I
put my pants on in the morning, I
put them on as though I'm going to
school, and not as though I'm going to work. And when I put my
pants on in the morning, and I feel
I'm going to work, rather than
school, thaI's when I'll leave
Evergreen . I just feel very strongly
that when your work is simple work,
you won't be very good at it.

"Perhaps Honduras' most
distinguishing quality is that it's
comletely dependent on the United
States, diplomatically, politically,
and especially economically. Since
1981, Honduras has permitted the
United States to carry out military
maneuvers in Honduras, ranging in
size from 1,000 to 40,000 U.S.
troops.
"Apart from the military
maneuvers, the United States is providing sustantial military aid to the
Honduras military. The current Hon
duras role in overall U .S. and Central American policy is to app ly
military and political pressure on its
neighbor, Nicaragua."
Bradford said that although there
are economic benefits for Honduras
from the presence of the U .S.
military, it is a dangerous game
they're playing. The United States is
pursuing objectives that have
nothing to do with Honduras' needs
and is driving Honduras to confrontation with Nicaragua.
"Honduras needs to look at
agrarian reform. It is the least
developed and has not gone through
the upheaval (that has occured in
Nicaragua). There is some hope that
it doesn't have to repeat the patterns
of its neighbors," he said .

Freshman faculty advocates in depth view
Tim Crews, Editor oj The Advocate.
photo by Dave Peterson
by Dave Peterson
Starting a new newspaper is all
kinds of fun . Just ask Evergreen adjunct faculty member Tim Crews,
the editor and publisher of The
Advocate.
Crews has established his paper on
the premise that the local area of
Olympia-Lacy-Tumwater wants and
needs a community paper that will
cover news in more depth than the
popular media has been doing so far.
He believes his audience is intelligent
and interested in matte:rs affecting
the a rea. He hopes that The Advocate will live up to his ideals for
good journalism. Crews feels that a
newspaper should be a "mirror and
magnifying glass on the community
and should try to do it with a little
wit and compassion.
"I'm really interested in two
things," he says. "One is solid community journalism. The other thing
is covering issues in more depth than
I think most of the regular journals
are doing."
Crews went on to elaborate, mentioning a story his paper had done
on the economics and politics of the
Pacific Rim and all the controversy
surrounding it.
"I think the average person on the
street has a lot of trouble making
heads or tails of the deficit and
balance of payments, and what we
have to do is try to take those kinds
of complicated issues which are the
issues that we live with, and personalize them and make them
. human," Crews said.
"I've been in the business 15
years, I've won a lot of awards, done
a lot of investigative journalism. I
think that if we've got any hope
coming in this country, it's going to
be from readers being able to have
enough information so that they can
come up with the new ideas. And I
think that in the Main, people are
not given enough depth; they're not
given just enough information and
it's not presented to them in a way
that they can read it."
The scope of The Advocate will
vary from community issues such as
a piece by Crews on the massive
roadwork being done around
Sleater-Kinney Road to international
politics when there is something new
to say.
"I was delighted with Dave Hitchen's piece on South Africa,"
Crews said. "It's the first thing I've
read that gave me any kind of an
historical perspective on South
Africa."
The Advocate's sports section is
tand it AID's primary objective, and
the reason taxpayers and Congress
appropriate money every year for
AID, is to get money to the poor.
One doesn't see much evidence of
this as one travels the Honduras
countryside. Where has the money
"nTJP?," Bradford said.
different from other papers in a couple of ways. One is that it gives exposure to sports that one wouldn't
usually find in a newspaper. Sports
such as darts, and women's sports,
Crews notes, often have more participants than typically 'covered
sports, but draw a smaller crowd.
Another noticeable difference is the
format in which The Advocate
presents its sports section. It's done
in a flip-style; when starting at the
front page, one need only flip the
paper over to find the front page of
the sports.
"Over the years, I've watched
people buy newspapers a lot, and
watched them pull the sports sections out, of newspapers and throw
the rest away. I think sports
coverage is almost a separate
newspaper. In a lot of papers it's
almost a completely separate entity," Crews observed.
"This binds it together," he said,
ref erring to his format. "It makes
it quite distinct, it gives it a separate
entity, but it makes it part of the
same package, and the most delightful part of it is, it gives us the opportunity for another front page -thereby screwing ourselves out of the
opportunity to sell the back
cover ... What's life if it isn't fun?"
sectarian organization that has been
sponsoring visits of bipartisan congressional delegations to Central
America since 1977. Bradford said
that the role of the committee is to
expose people to the complexity in
Central America.
"We don't push our line. We try
to expose congressmen to the widest
possible cross-section in both coun-
tries (Honduras and Nicaragua),"
Bradford said.
Bradford coordinates the visits to
Nicaragua, Honduras, and Costa
Rica. He said the short length of the
visits, two to three days, is a
frustrating handicap. He and his
counterpart in EI Salvador also
research particular issues that aren't
being covered by the American
Olander: Never "South West Washington U. "
cont. from page I
CPJ: What do you see as being the
greatest threat to Evergreen's continued prosperity?
Olllndrr: I've always said that for
me, the central issue in the future of
the college is not closure, as h,as been
the case in the past, but that we
don't simply become Southwest
Washington University. This college
exists in an area where 578,000 people live within a 30 mile radius of this
campus. This growing urban area,
the fastest growing area in the state,
is going to generate demands on
Evergreen to grow and to have new
programs. We have to be responsive
to that in the sense of antiCipating
those pressures in order to respond
to them in particularly Evergreen
ways . To ignore that is to court
serious jeopardy for the future of
Evergreen as we now know it.
CPJ : How are you dealing with thaI
issue ?
Olander: The college has to put
togcther a strategic planning process
in whi c h we involve faculty,
students, staff, trustees, alumni and
o ur foundation Board of Governors
in shaping a strategic plan for what
th e college is, where we want to go,
and how we ' re going to get there .
That has not been done beforc. Not
to do that, to say tha t we're just goin g to grow helter skelter, would be
di sas terous. That' s why I've com mi ss ioned a higher education needs
assess ment, to find OyL ~.bat people
rea ll y need .
CPJ: Is th ere a tim e line set jor/hat
s /u dy,{
Olander: That study. will be com pleted by December 15. In addition,
there have been questionnaires sent
to fa cult y, a random selection of
students, a selection of alumni, all
of the state legislators, and a
stratified sampling of business, civic
and political leaders in Southwest
Washington asking them their
perceptions in terms of Evergreen.
That's never been done before.
There will be a separate questionnaire going to all faculty members
about specifically academic matters,
so that, in a nutshell, we'll have three
separate sources of data about how
people perceive Evergreen. When the
planning process takes place, we'll
have some hard data to work with .
CPJ: Enrollments are way up this
year. Do you see the possibility oj
an enrol/ment ceiling?
Olander: I already have authorized
the closing of admissions for winter
quarter, and I'm seriously considering closing admissions for the spring
quarter as well. We were given
money for roughly 140 more FTE
(full-time equivalency) students for
the 85 -87 budget biennium . We are
there already. My sense is that we
will go before the legislature the next
time and ask for more money to accomodate more students . I don't
want the college to grow without being able to maintain the quality of
our programs .
CPJ: We've been hammering at
some oj the negatives so jar. What
kind oj positive things do you see in
the juture jor Evergreen?
Olande;:-I think that what's happe nin g alread y is that we will be a
beacon of how higher education
ought to be delivered for the entire
country over the next fiv e years .
We're already on the road to that ,
but we're going to be even more visible , because it's only been recently
that the federal government and the
education commissions of the states
and other major higher education
groups have been talking about the
problems in higher education. And
when they talk about solutions to
many of those problems, it's like
reading the Evergreen catalog. I see
that trend as continuing. In addition,
I think that our alumni will be the
best investment we have in the future
of the college. It is imperative that
students come away from graduation fee ling very good about
Evergreen. I want to function as a
stockbroker. I want to increase the
value of the investments of students
in this college over time . And the
more you read about what's going
on in the private sector, in the
business world, the more you see
that Evergreen students are going to
be more in demand.
CPJ: Is Joe Olander a workaholic?
Olander: I'm a playaholic. When I
pet my pants on in the morning, I
put them on as though I'm going to
school, and not as though I'm going to work . And when I put my
pants on in the morning, and I feel
I'm going to work, rather than
school, that's when I'll leave
Evergreen. I just feel very strongly
that when your work is simple work,
you won't be very good at it.

Editing concerns
writer
To the Editor:
Since the beginning of October, I
wrote three articles fo'r the CPJ. I do
take care to write ' what I mean.
Reading hackneyed editions of my
work makes me wonder why I even
took the care I did to qualify what
I'm saying on the page.
Let me go back for a minute. During the first week in October, I wrote
about .the Fantastic exhibition going
on at the. UW's Henry Callery. "Exhibition" was mispelled in the
headline, and the titles of the art
cited did not appear in italics. I admit that my copy had titled quotes,
but isn 't part of editorials responsibility involved with catching the
typos that happen?
Last week, I wrote about
Childrenz Muzeum for the CPJ. It
was snipped and rearranged, yet I
read my name on the byline. After
being told that my original copy
didn't fit with the "CPJ format"
(whatever that means), I made some
changes when I read the galley and
was assured by the editor that there
was no reason to worry. I foolishly
believed this until I saw the article
in print--without the changes that
were mine and with others that were
not.
I did one other piece of writing
last week that spoke of the Spectrum
show that is going on in Gallery 4.
The headline informs readers that
this is a new show (It is not new. I
never stated that it was. Titles aren't
the writer's responsibility). When
this writing appeared in print, a
paste-up error grossly distorted what
I was saying.
Okay. I do understand that this is
a student newspaper. Writing, profreading, and production are in the
process of being learned. I do know
enough about production to know
that it's not what I want to do,
though I admire those who do it
well.
Don't get this wrong. I'm not saying that I don't want to write for the
CPJ; I'm saying that I am concerned about what gelS in print. The concern is magnified when I see my
name on a byline.

Computer
brou-ha-ha
To the editor:
Lately, my attention had been
drawn to the brou-ha-ha around
budget ·cuts in computer serv ices.
Believe me, I was looking forward
to spending hours at the word processer, tickling the keys. Last spring
I used one for the first time at Yale
University. It was really cool. They

have a nice library.
Political Science students in their
master's program pay over $12,000
tuition, and have to pay an additional fee of about $12 each quarter
to use the word prOcessers.
It was expressed at the student
forum that students at Evergreen
will probably be charged a fee when
computer services is re-opened. One
student said, "The fee will
discriminate against low income
students. "
One' thing I learned so far this year
in economics is that the difference
between $12,000 (Yale's tuition) and
$4,000 (Evergreen's) is much more
staggering than the difference between $0 and $12, for computer
services.
'Let's face it. If our quarterly expenditiure on things like co-op corn
chips, hair styling mousse, or The
Nation went up $12, wouldn't we
find a way to swing it?

You guys blew your front page article about Computer Services. The

To Editor;
Regarding cuts III computer
services ...
I would like to respond to Ron
Woodbury's assertion that "You
cannot run an organization on
volunteer labor." My experiences
with KAOS-FM, and the Olympia
food co-op, to name just two examples, show this statement to be
clearly fallacious. KAOS is run
almost entirely on a voluntary staff
of 140 to 160 people. Although
working members of the co-op get
a discount, it is also essentially a
volunteer organization.
Granted, both these groups have
benefits.for participation, volunteering for word processing has benefits
too!
-ego strokes
-access to the equipment
-satisfaction of being part of the
community,
helping the school deal with budget
cuts, why not offer incentive for
computer volunteers? Perhaps a dis-
count on whatever they're planning
to charge us to use the new facility?
Perhaps a more accurate statement from Mr. Woodbury would
be: "I don't have any experience setting up a volunteer organization."
Well, there's people who do know,
and would probably be' happy to
help, if asked. Unfortunately, Mr.
Woodbury appears to think that the
answer is to isolate Word Processing so his staff won't have to deal
with it, and strank it with a
minimum of support so as to bring
about a situation where student outcry will pressure the administration
into allocation more money for
Word Processing.
Mr. Woodbury has complained
that we students have not spent
enough time complaining to the administration about the budget cuts,
We have complained. 'We have had
the intricacies of state funding explained, and basically been told that
it is in the hands of the omniscient
legislature, In turn, Mr. Legislature
points his finger al Mr. Reagan, who
in turn points at the errors of the
past, while buying bombs, Meanwhile, I'm wondering if it's goinlt to

Dear Edilor,
I sent the following letter to Steve
Hunter, of the Planning and
Research Office. I'd be interested in
hearing what other sludenls Ihought
of Ihe survey .
I've just . received Ihe Small College Goals Inventory . I did not fill
it out and will not. This survey and
the leller of explanation which accompanies it are an insult 10 my intelligence.
In the first place, your leLler, in
its own obscure way, makes it obvious thai sludent opinions will nor
make one whit of difference in
Evergreen's future. I'm referring to
the fourth paragraph in particular.
Secondly, anyone who's taken
beginning stat istics (or has an ounce
of common sense) will realize thai
the survey is completely worthless.
The questions are so vaguely worded as 10 preclude the gathering of
any information.

Things that
PIRGs do
Editor, The CPJ:
Given the abundance, locally, of
politically savvy Evergreen students
and graduates, why, Ihis past summer, did WashPIRG import hired
guns to doorbell local residenls for
money?
The college student who came to
our home was part of a crew from
California. She said she was paid expenses and a commission to ask for
money for WashPIRG. But no, she
didn't know, even generally, how the
money would be spent, where and
when it would be handed over, or to
whom .
She was uninformed about matters of particular interest to
Washington residents and not much
better informed about general
WashPIRG concerns. When asked
what WashPIRG had accomplished
She knew of Hanford and the phone
company but nothing of the
methods used to achieve what was
desired .
This is not to criticize her personally, for generally money
solicitors are told how to make a
presentation and are permitted little
leeway in departing from the
prescribed method.
ment of faculty, staff, and students
in community service activities could
mean that students should be required to spend 50 percent of thier
time volunteering for a local
organization in order to graduate, or
it could mean that students should
be encouraged to get involved with
the local Neonazi party, or it could
mean almost anylhing else. .
Other questions, such as To help
students develop means of achieving
their personal goals are so obviously important as to make their inclusion worthless. In fact, none of the
questions are worth spending any
amount of time on. A respondent
would be quite justified in marking
of extremely high importance to all
of them.
Real studenl concerns were, of
course, not addressed . For example,
should Evergreen, a non-traditional
liberal arts college, spend do much
money for natural science programs,
yet cut back on expressive arts, access to computers, and internships?
Or, is Evergreen becoming more and
more like the University of
Washington, and is this a good
Irend?
Finally, Mr. Hunter, surveys like
this are notoriously expensive and
the fact that you are spending my
tuition money on such a survey tells
me in which direction Evergreen is
heading. I'm glad I'll be graduating
We agree Ihat domestic violence
is much broader than men assau lting
women emotionally or physically. It
does "cross all socio-economic
level s , religious affiliations and
gender," and lei us not forget age
' groups. And yes, "lei's Iry 10
educa le ourselves and all our
children that abuse cit:.er physical o r
mental, is wrong."
These are points and beliefs
brought oul by Ihe domestic violence
movement. The Nalional Coalition
Againsl Domestic Violence deal s
with domestic violence on all levels.
No major point has been missed.
The reason domestic violence has
been a women's issue is because none
but women have made it their issue .
Domestic violence in our culrure has
been around for hundreds of years.
I f anyone else had wanted the job
Ihey have had ample lime.
Furthermore, women and children
constilute Ihe majority of domesti c
violence victims. With children having lillie voice in our society, it is
logical to assume that it would be
women who would unite against this
form of tyranny .
By women addressing this issue is
not to feed fuel to the fire bUI to
bring light to Ihe dark side of
families. II is the ignorance of socie ty that juels the fire . This intermingling of reality and myth is a form of
societal battering. Vari Scudi' s implication that battered women helping battered women is sexism clouds
the issue and perpetuales the
violence . Abuse, no malLer whal
form it takes, or who it affect s, is
violence. There is no doubt Ihal
domestic violence is every person' s
problem and responsibility,

"When Men Were Men ... ~' " opens.up music
by Melod y Lee
" Wh en Men Were Men ... And
Sheep Were Scared ,. on Bemisbrain
Records, is a good punk compilation
reco rd . It consists of Bemisbrain 's
usual rock -punk bands and style. It' s
not ha rd co re thrash, but modern
roc k. like X or T .S.O.L. All the
ba nd s are good, a nd the chosen
so ngs are prett y good examples of
the ba nds' mu sic. There are 8 bands
on th e album, and each does 2
so ngs .
It start s u ut stron g with " Hurry
Up and Waite " by Rhino 39.
" Hur ry" is the best song I've heard
by th em. Th e singer' s voice is less
obnoxiolls, a nd the music less bor·
in g th a n usual. Unfortunately.
"S leep Walkin g" the other Rhino
song, is their usual generic piece,
bland a nd somewhat jarring .
Following Rhino 39 is the VaiJdaIs, one of the best punk bands
around. I have never heard a Van dals song I didn't like, and their offerings on Wh en are two of their
best .
"The Dachau Cabana" is a fantastic little ditty originally done by
Barry Manilow. Thi s song is potenti a lly the mo st offcnsive thing The
Vandals have ever done. It alon e
makes Whe n worth buying . The
other Vandals song, "Frog Stomp"
is the usual silly Vandals song. It has
the potential to become a class ic
dance tune . Eat your heart out
Charleston.
Red Baret, th c third ba nd on the
L. P. has one good song on the
album and one not so good song.
"Look Behind" is a guitary driving
song a bit like old British punk.
' ~ Rooler Coaster Ride" on the other
hand, is monotonous. The only
break thrown in is so old and used
t hat it dies en tranit.
The final band on side I is The
Crewd. Their 2nd song, "Lady of
the Night" is the best of their two,
but both songs are good. The Crewd
have a loud, rough sound, doninated
by guitar. They scramble through
their two tracks which makes a
good ending to side I .
Side 2 isn't quite as good as side I,
but Falling Idols make their vinyl
debut on this side . They're a good
band and I'll be glad to hear more
from them. "Defeat the Purpose"
their first song, has lyrics that every
punk should pay close attention to.
The Idols, and almost all the other
bands on When, are very musically
competent. They play music that any
rock or punk fan should like.
An yway, the last 3 bands on the
L. P . are Secret Hate, The Nip
Drivers, and Target of Demand.
Secret Hate's songs are a nice blend
of the thrash and the slower rock
punk. "Bomb Chic" is the better of
the two songs with a grating1 feedbacking guitar and, although now
cliche, sensible lyrics. "Bomb Chic"
is more creative than the usual" I
don't wanna be blown up" lyrics of
a lot of punk and modern pop.
Speaking of modern pop, we
come to The Nip Drivers. Both of
the Nip's songs are from their last
album,
0
Blessed
Freak
Show. "Rio," their offeI:~l1j <?!l
When, became a big commercial hit '
for them . Duran D\lran's cover of
"Rio" is what made it and Duran
Duran famous. The Nips are considered Duran Duran's biggest competition in the world of music right
now. Their fast, funny, chaotic
sound is what makes the Nips as
popular as they are.
The last band, Target of Demand,
is the fastest band on When. They
are a good thrash band. "Airhead"
is one of their best songs. The horns
in it are exemplary of mixing the old
classical style of music with modern
punk.
"When Men Were Men ... And
Sheep Were Scared" is a great compilation, but most compilations are a
good buy . They open up music.
Breaking through the loneliness barrier
by Joseph G . Follansbee
Recently, I crashed a party at B
dorm and along with the usual
psuedo-punkettes and kegs of warm
Oly, I saw something odd, unnoticed, and yet not unusual. Someone
was alone, a young woman, leaning
her shadowy body against a wall,
sipping a glass of something while
her eyes never left the floor.
How could this be? I thought.
Here, at The Evergreen State College , the great alternative to those
college metropolises of 40,000 bodies
where you're nothing but an ID
number and a financial aid check . I
wanted to say something to her, but
her aloneness kept me away.
Often I have felt the way she must
feel now. She was very young,
perhaps a freshman, and I
remembered those first few weeks in
an environment I could never
prepare for. Each day was hours
longer than any other day I'd
known, the cold, gray buildings
clashed with the blue sky and the
warm green of the woods, and my
room was more a monastic cell than
a new home.
But I was lucky . Only a few days
a fter I arrived, my schedule was filled with new friends. But for the
young woman things were different,
I sensed. The quarter was already
half over and she talked to no one
at the party. How many other
students are like her? Lonely people
are often silent; they blend into the
background of campus noise.
I remembered how quickly my
friends became my family, people
whom I leaned on for support and
without whom I couldn't 'have survived that first quarter. When I felt
isolated, I went to someone's room
and simply hung out. Lucky for me,
I knew how. But how must it be for
this young woman, who was but a
shadow on the wall, blending in so
well with the community that she
couldn't be seen.
While 1 watched her on the wall
out of the corner of my eye, she
moved to the kitchen and munched
on a few chips. I caught her dark
eyes and she looked away.

atmosphere whereby the vocal
talents of all on board reach crescendo, the audience applauds with fervor while trying to remain in their
seats. On occasion, folks paid their
respect by getting up and cheering on
the cast.
The crew and all the female
relatives of Sir Joseph Porter fill the
tremendous stage. Twenty seven
men and women, all ages included,
make up the cast.One young man,
about 10 years old, portrays a
young shipman's swain, and leads
the group during several scenes. And
to watch 16 sailors dressed in
their Sunday Whites makes one feel
surrounded by a dignified and
noble air, and exhilarated by the
experience.
Their stage presence, as well as
stage al?pearance, are markedly
enhanced by the terrific lighting
design effects. Staged by Roger
McIntosh, each scenario attained a
succinct mood, isolating sequences
and highlighting mood relationships.
Three cheers to stage designers
Lowell Bradford and David Hunting
for their ingenius concept; mounting
two masts, fore and aft, of the
H.M.S.Pinafore's main decks. One
mast extends far into the reaches
of the ceiling of the Washington
Center, and one can easily imagine
oneself perched in the crow's nest
observing from a bird's eye view.
A second mast stands proud, about
thirty feet tall and complete with
two furled sails.

Rising above all obstacles whilst
challenging the fates, . a triumph of
Love becomes a cheer filled event
for all aboard the H.M.S. Pinafore.
With a ship~hape crew of sailors
bound for duty out at sea, a pleasant
voyage with these fellas. and a
sailin' we will be. Set upon the
Washington Center of the Performing Arts all new stage, we embark
on a grace fllied evening with the
Olympia Corale and Light Opera.
H.M.S. Pinafore is the first annual autumn production of the
Center Stage series. And this adaptation of the Gilbert and Sullivan
classic comic opera revitalizes all the
standards upon which these classics
are based. Admirable perfonnances,
terrific stage direction and wonderful music make the show work well.
This tale is woven of harden rope
and silken twine. Lashed together
with the emotions of a quite vocal
and impressive cast, H.M.S.
Pinafore relates a story of Love's
own innocence. Entangled in the
many mix-ups that Love pursues,
(while going on its merry way,) we
meet Ralph Rackstraw, who is
caught between his desire for
Josephine,the Captain's daughter,
and his duties as a sailor. He must
accept his fate, whilst we learn of
another gent whose heart longs for
our fair damsel. The complications
begin here and many episodes of
comic relief follow suit. Creating an

Sports round-up: Excitement and ambiguity
Evergreen x-country team is off and
running.
X-Country Runners Tough Wind,
Rain and Mud in Bellingham
The men's and women's x,ountry
teams weathered the elements and
came away from the Western
Washington [nvitaUonal with
another school record .
Babs lsak broke her own 5k
school record with a ) 9:) 0 clocking
for a 27th place finish in the
women's race. Also contributing
strong performances were Bridget
Young, Tracy Stefan, Laurie
Selfors, Susie Tveter and Amy
Craver.
The men's team had three
finishers in the top 35 runners. Bob
Reed, John Kaiser and Baethan
Crawford were only separated by 36
seconds on the 5.25 mile course with
times of 26:26, 26:49, and 27:02
respectively.
The teams, previously blessed with
dry weather, ran in wet, windy and
muddy conditions. The women's
course, one 3' mile loop, was flat
and fast. The men ran the same
loop, and then ran a 2 mile section
that included an uphill part and a
treacherous, downhill dash to the
finish.
Both teams will be helping conduct the ever popular" Lost Horizon .
Run" this Saturday and then will
run in Walla Walla the following
weekend in the district meet.
Culliton expressed some concern
about the women's rug'ged schedule
that had them playing three games in
one week several times this season .
She Said, " J really want people to
understand the mental and physical
exhaustion that comes from playing
three games a week. The women
deserve alot of credit for doing as
well as they do under the strain."
Culliton said that next year she
plans to make sure the team plays no
more than two games a week .
Last Wednesday, before the
Oregon trip, the Geoducks played a
2-2 neither team was able to score.
Evergreen plays host to the University of Portland this Sunday at noon.
An Evergreen soccer player leaps into action.
Men's soccer Team Drops Two
Against Stiff Competition
Despite three losses in a row and
the absence of two starters because
of injuries, coach Arno Zoske still
maintains a positive attitude.
Following the 6-0 loss to the
NAJA nationally top-ranked team
Simon Fraser, Zoske said, "We
learned some lessons the hard way.
We were initially a little intimidated.
Women's Soccer Team Splits With
Oregon Teams
After a frustrating 1-0 loss Saturday to the University of Oregon
coach Jane Culliton said, "We had
a good talk and it really helped. We
had alot more movement off the ball
in Sunday's 3-1 win over Oregon
State University. Our passing game
was definitel y there wheras against
U .of 0 we had alot of kick and run
soccer. Sunday we were in it mentally; we were ready for the game"
IDUCATIONAL
Ciiii I EM LTD.
The first half we were too anxious,
but in the second half we were passing better and our defensive intensity went up. We're looking forward
to our first district counter game
with PLU." Zoske said if PLU wins
the game, they will qualify to play
the winner of the other bracket and
Evergreen would be eliminated from
p.ost season competition.
Earlier in the week the Geoducks
lost a close game to UPS, 2-1. Zoske
said, "We went with a new ' alIfreshman lineup in midfield: Steve
Robbins, Kevin Dahlstrom, Sean
Medved and Andy Hill. They got
better and better as the game went
on. It was really encouraging."

The men's and woman's swim team will
have their first intersquad meet Friday,
Oct. 25th at Evergreen at 3:30. Coach
Bruce Fletcher and diving coach Debbie
Reynolds are still looking for interested
people to join the workouts from 3:00 to
4;30 p.m. and diving from 5:00 to 6:30
p.m., Monday through Friday.
Soccer action is getting more intense as
the men's and women's teams near the
end of their seasons. The women had as
sucessful trip to Oregon, defeating
Oregon State 3 . 1 and losing to. Univ. of
Oregon 1 - O. This Sunday they host a
home game with Univ_ of Portland at
noon, on our soccer field. The men lost to
nationally top-ranked Simon Fraser 6 - 0
and to a strong U.P.S. team 2 - 1. They
host Whitman on Saturday at 1:00.
After a bout with wind, rain and the
mud in Bellingham, the x - country teams
stay home for the weekend to help with
the"Lost Horizon" run. The stormy conditions didn't stop women's standout Babs
Isak from breaking her own school record
in the 5k women's race. Three men (Bob
Reed, John Kaiser, and Baethan
Crawford},all placed in the top thirty-five
in that Men's race.Both teams go to
Walla Walla for the district meet

several strong victories over other
west coast teams. "Both teams played
well. We'd like to take advantaJl:e of
our opportunities," he said. The
Geoducks follow the PLU game

Encounter in Mexico City
Insight-out
•
A stoplight. Noisy motors and smog coming out
of exhaust pipes. Among thousands of private minds that
are trapped in the prison of their cars, lies a small child
on the dirt asleep. He must be about two years old.
I gaze at him from my car window. His mother
runs around barefoot trying to sell matches. He seems
so peaceful under his woolen blanket, among tons of concrete and enginesthat are way beyond his understanding.
"Little kid, [ must talk with you. Even though
you can't hear me, we shall share this moment of our
loneliness together. But what can I say. I was born on
the other side of the fence. I've been so damn privileged
that it's a shame how often Iforget it. But you little kid,
you are doomed to the streets and noise. As soon as you
can walk around on your own, you'll be barefoot among
the cars selling matches forever. May there at least be
glimmers of hope in your life. "
My fathers hands,
feet fat and ticklish
speak to time.
Body of the body,
hands of mine . .
And living with a man made of mirrors,
[ can never touch the self that is real,
only gaze upon an image
that is doubled and·redoubled
that goes arching off into infinity.
and as I approach
[ come no nearer,
and as [ retreat
there are others born.
The Someday,
held inside
Oneday,
set beside
Today,
a million miles away.
'The light is turning to green and I must leave
you little kid. [ will never see you again, and you will never
know of my existence. But somehow, you will stay with
me. "
David Browne-Nowlan
And as [ manage to scribble these words while
driving in slow traffic, my thoughts turn to my own child.
[ sadly wonder if the world will be able to afford it.
And now a flash back
from summer ...
The Oregon Country Fair (in the
great Scarbrough Fair tradition) has
been held every July since the early
1970's in a forrested area several
miles west of Veneta, Oregon. Last
July was of course no exception and
young and old alike gathered in the
dust to take part in a celebration of
arts, crafts, nature, the hippy days,
holistic thought and musical
expression.

only changing with the disposability of a plastic age.
Come and dream with me of a world hidden from

where each little ripple is not felt by the microcosm of time
where each action is not met with reactive aggression.
Come and lie with me in poppy fields
