Free speech a t Evergreen?
What a concept! There is a lot
of t a lk at Evergreen abo ut Free
Spe ec h (always capitalized , of
cou rse) but n o t very much of it
occu rs.
When was th e la 5t time th~re
was eve n a ge nuine debat e here ?
Wh·en wa s the las t time th ere
wa, a figure from the R eaga n
Administration h e r e? When was
the la st tim e there was a
s peaker in f avor of j oi nin g the
military ?
Has there C\'e r been
a, gasp, Republican here?
This school was founded , in
part , by men of good conscience
who
wanted
to
see
an
alternative
sc hool
w here
students could learn.
Some of
them were Republicans including
former Evergreen' President Dan
Evans,
now
a
Republican
Senator.
The fact that they
were Republican s does not mean
that they wer.::n ' t m e n who
understood the value of · an
ed u cation.
I f a person does not e 5pou,e
th e same concepts you do that
docs n ot m ake them evi l, nor
do es
es pou s in g
your
iue ~ l s
automatically m ake them gom!.
Good and e v il arc mOfl: compkx
topics then th a I.
The next iss ue of the CPJ
will focu s o n politi c,. At Iea, t
one article wi l l be o n the JranContra affair. The Iran·C ontra
a f fa i r i ~ 0 n e 0 f t h (' f c \V l' vent"
th at
tran~cend ,
pnlitic ~
and
strik es at th e h ea rt of id ea ls
that bind Americans as people.
I' m not as hamed to say that I'm
frightened when I think that a
man with so little respect fo r
the concepts that o ur country
was founded on might become

our next president. Where was
the talk of "original intent"
when the Iran -C ontra a ff ai r wa s
going on?
The Ir a n-Contra
affair was conceived a nd ca rri e d
out by peo ple who were ev il , n c
m a ll er
what
yo ur
political
p e rs ua s ion .
Is s peec h at the CPJ free ?
N o. Look carefully at the First
Amendment. It does not suggest
th a t
a ny
organization
must
publi s.h so m e thing , only that the
Government cannot make a law
"a bridging" speech . Contrary to
popular notion, the CPJ is not
the
Government.
We
are
students
struggling
to
put
toget her the best product we
can. We accept many types of
work and u se only our own
judgement about what to print.
However ,
that
"freedom"
to
publish comes at a price . The
price is ads.
Some th in k we shou ld not
accept
ads
that
ihey
find
repugnant or immoral. That is
their right.
How ever, ads pay
for the newspaper.
I figure
that m os t people h ave possess ion
of an amazing facility in their
h a nd s.
It a ll ows th e m to turn
th e page o n ads they d o n ' t lik t!: •
It doe~n ' t cost them a nythin g
anu it s n ot e ve n vcry di fficult.
If you don't wan t to turn th e
pa!!c you m ay c\"Cn f in d that
somc of th.:: i n forma ti on in th a t
ad
ga\','
yo u
auditional
in formati on.
Why is it that
editors
are
accused
of
ce n sorsh ip
for not accepting
m a ter ial , but not for spurnin g
ads?
There
is
so mething
inherentl y
unjust
in
that
though l.
Thi ~
discussi0n of free

speech should not obscure the
fact that the CPJ staff is well
awa re of th e dire financial
straights of m os t g roup s,
We
offer 1 / 2 price a ds to all
s tudent groups and non -prGfit
organizations, and 50 cents less
pe r adverti,ing in c h to oncampus busine ss es.
We also do l ay out and
paste-up of th e ads at no ex'(ra
cost to th ose who need this

Lots of money buys free speech
I have some questions about
the
CP1's . editorial
policies
which I hope you will clarify by
responding thrau.gh the paper.
1) Last year, authors and
writers
were
continuously
subjected
to
the
often
disempowering attitudes the CPJ
staff, specifically the Editor-inChief, had for our submissions.
Countless times authors and
writers submitted articles only
to find ' their article printed in
the CPJ with a different title,
new words, deleted sentences
and paragraphs, etc. (Grammar
and
spelling
corrections
arc
expected.)
In one case, there
was an entirely new sentence
added to a piece! What is the
CPJ's
policy
this
year
'Concerning
preserving
the
authors integrity?
2)
You
claim,
"in
consideration of free speech all
forms of advertising will be
accepted ."
This worries me.
Free speech in advertising often
means the ones with money
speak
freer
then
the
Olles
without. For example; the U .S.
Army and AT&T have more
mor.ey to advertise than the
Central
American
Action
Committee. Who are we going
to see more advertisements from
in the CP;?
Who Is freer to
speak when you have to pay to

service, thu s m a king advertising
more accessible to s mall local
businesses
and
gro ups
that
cannot afford the services of a
graphic artist.
(Why do you
think we're up so late?
With
this paper we are going to bed
earlier than any paper ever
before due mainly to ,the efforts
of our ad staff, Chri~ Carson,
Matt · Carrithers,
and
Tanya
Schouten. Praise Be!)
I've run out of room.
swear, . it's
either
feast
or
famine
and
this
iss ue
is
definitely a feast. In w me ways
this issue of the CPJ is the best
I've ever seen.
We havc an
interview with the pilot of the
Space
Shuttle
Di sco \"ery,
a
feature
article on
tb e r ai n
fore sts, and a lot of oth~r ve r y
hi g h quality work . I won ' t tell
you what go t left oul. I' ll sa\"C
it for treat~ in th e next issu.:.
I hope yo u enjoy thi~ i ,~ue uf
th e Cooper Poillt JOl/mal ;l ~
much as I do.

Furthermore, General Electric
and Microsoft can afford to
advertise (to speak) in thousands
of r:ewspapers and magazines,

internationally.
In fact, their
advertising allows them to speak
to
several
hundred
million
people.
Does Eartb Island
Institute speak as freely? Who
speaks more freely in tbe CPJ;
Apple Computers with a 3/4
page ad on page 12, or our own
bomegrown Olympia Food Coop
witb a little box in the bottom
rigbt band corner of page 11?
Should tbe CP J su pport such
inequities in free speecb?
Perhaps ad vert ising costs
should be on an "ability-to-pay"
system. Organizations with less
money available for ad vertising
should
be
allowed
to
pay
significantly
less
than
large
multi.-national organizations with
billion
dollar
advertising
budgets.
These
large
organizations
should
pay
significantly
more
for
advertising and the extra money
should be used to subsidize

smaller
o.r ganizations
with
smaller advertising capabilities
and a sometimes minority point
of view . This would insure that
all,
both
the
rich · and
exploitative, and the poor and
exploited have equal access to
our " free speech" rights.
Isn't
Evergreen a place where we are
committed
to
supporting

Brian Hoffman

Ads are. moral question
What
is
r.Jeant
by
free
speech?
You say that, "In
consideration of free speech all
forms of advertising will be
accepted."
But you will not
print all of the poems that come
to you, or all the letters 'to the
editor, and somehow the people
of the community have gotten a
third class ticket after ads and
after
students,
so mehow

Greeners are paranoid utopians
A CPl political analyst at
Evergreen? Gimme a break!
Evergreen is so politica·lly
homogeneous , that any analyst
not
voicing
the
Evergreen
philosophy
of
pseudo-radical ,
paranoid,
anti-establishment
utopianism would, at be5t, be
completely ostracized .
More
likely,
the
"Evergreen
community" would rise up to
confront this threat to their
narrow-minded radicalism (utopia

minority points of view as well
as people and organizations that
are
systematically
and
institutionally
oppresses
by
hostile environments (a hostile
culture) and inadequate means
(money) for sel f -expression?

for
a
simpleton)
with
a
McCarthy style witch-hunt.
After attending both
Ihe
Brigham Young University and
The Evergreen State College, I
can tell you, you are more
likely to meet someone with
their own opinion at BYU., At
TESC all you find is the same
recycled conspiracy theorie s, and
ENDLESS WHINING.
Lee S. Pembleton

disregarding the importance of
what they say.
When you say, "Free Speech,"
you mean free to those whp can
afford it. Thus you accept th·at .. · ·
khaki green, th a t olive green,
that puke green, that military
green, yes those ads. I've see n
what that military green does to
people, I've seen how it breed s
racism and sex i~m and how it
enslaves people and yet I hear
you will print an ad for it to
protect free speech. Is th a t my
frec speech you ~peak of, or IS
it one of those greens?
It is a moral question. One
that asks you if you really need
to be so quick to ~e l1 , or is it
to sell out.
If you want 10
fight for free spee ch fight for
free speech, not "bought" free
speech.
So I ask, please stop
tbis laissez-faire approach to
ads, at least until you stop
editing other work.
Is there
anything I can say to make you
stop such a poli cy; please stop

Since 1981 the faculty and staff of Evergreen State College
have been significant supporters of the work of Planned
Parenthood in this community,
You have recognized better than most the cause and effect
relationship between:
• sex and pregnancy
• ignorance and vulnerability
• poverty and dependence
• political pressure and funding deci~ions
The medical and educational services Planned Parenthood'
provides are not the only answer to the plethora of social,
environmental and economic problems t1u.tt beset us at home
and abroad, but if Planned1>arenthood weren't seroing nearly
3,000 patients a year in our clinic and reaching more than
8,600 Thurston eounty families and young people with our
educaJional programs, those local problems would be markedly
more <
difficult.
Remember Planned Parenthood of Thurston County
when you make your payroll deduction during the
Combined Fund Drive. We need your generous support.

You're off to a good start

Comparatively, the (,PJ

Keep it up!
I
know the paper will get bctter

trying.
To all of you people who did
not write or contribute art for
the very sad (,Pl la st yea r, h er
is your ehar.ce to make th e
paper worth so mething worth
wrillng,
drawing,
an d

You don ' t
have to be a sta.ff member of
the CPJ to contribute to it.
YOu just have to have a way of
seeing things and a will to put
it on
paper and
s hare
it.
Without your contribution the
CPJ will begin its third year in
a row as a very un fulfilling

college newspaper.
(I appreciate the ' hard work
last year's staff put into the
CPJ . The CPJ was sad last year
not because they didn't work
hard at it but bec a u se of very
complicated politics which I pray
we le>t ve behi nd this yea r.)

Where are the greeners?
In the last edition of the
CPl, Michelle Hofmann asked
the question, ' Where have a ll
the Greeners gone?"
Well, I don't think it really
matters.
The. purpose of Evergreen , in
my· naIve, first-year opinion, is
to help you make an education
for yourself, and not to shove
another bunch of steroetypcs
and traditions (however hip)
down
your
throat.
An

"alternative" school must give an
"a lternative " education, not ju s t
the same one with a different
face .
We "new" Greeners .ill.£. the
"real"
Greeners.
We
are
di fferent from all \'
have
come before us. We
going
to build our education ur way,
and isn't that what we are

L/GRC Coordinator hiring

by J ames Marti n
The
E d ito r ' s ' n 0 t e:
memoradum below was written
on October 5, 1988. Since that
time Gail Witte and Gene Barn es
have
been
hired
as
cocoordinators. Kathy Ybarra had
not received this memoradum at
press time.
The
memorandum
which
follows
was
distributed
and
discussed at the joillt Lesbian
and
Gay
campus community
meeting at Thursday Octob er 6,
1988.
It is submitted here us

SIlpport are much needed,
Last Spring the Li! sbian and
Gay" Resource Cente r (L / (;RC)
Advisory Board took the e a rly
initiative
to
intervi e w
and
recommend
new
coordinat o rs.
In addition to enhanCing the

. .
opportunities of summer usage
of L/GRC office, it was our
hope that early selection would
allow the L/GRC to be off the a
running start from day one of
the academic year.
Sir.ce the
time we recommended Gail Witte
and Gene Barnes as the new
coordinators,
new
and
substantive
issues
h a ve
developed. These issues revolve'
around the fact that Gail and
Gene have not been confirmed
as coordinators for the L/GRC.
Kathy
Ybarra,
Executive
Director of the Services and
Activities administration, ha s
saddled the L/GRC with a
stipulative
funding
burden.
Ironically, that burden is th e
result of the L/GRC's successful
effort to find a coordinator who
was work,study qualified last
year. The result of our decision
to hire Jeremy Mor-rison is .that
Ybarra has now designated the
LlGRC budget as a budget that
requires a workstudy candidate .
The L/GRC now finds itself with
the burden of exhausting all
possible avenues to find another

A d vis 0 r y
Boa r d's
recommendations could possibly
be accepted.
As
things
now
stand,
Ybarra has refused to ratify the
L/GRC's choice of coordinators,
and has posted their positions as
vacant with the rationale of
finding
workstudy
qualified
students who may seek the
position, regardless of the needs
of the organization ,
This
action,
and its implications,
raises
concerns
about
the
autonomy and independence of
the L/GRC and its Advisory
board .
A point of clarification
before I proceed: I am not
contesting the formal hiring
Ybarra performs.
For lawful
reasons,
someone
has
to
technically perform this tas,k.
What I am concerned about is '
the way the hiring occurs and
the effect that a workstudy
funding stipulation has on a
"minority" or "protected class
group".
It is well known by , both
the L/GRC and Ybarra that

Maarava questions hiring
by Sam Se gall
1.
Why did you refu se to
reissue me a key for the office,
or offer alternative mean s o f
entrance after you agreed that I
should act as coordinator during
the hiring interim?
2.
Why hav e you required
Maarava' s incumbent to submit
an application for coordin ator
when you have not required the
same of other incumbents?
3. Why have you insisted o n a
hiring interview with you, while
you have not made the same
condition applicable to other
staff hired for the year?
4.
Why are you not allowing
Maarava

It also sends a contradictory

Earlier, I

problem of a change In the

many reasons for the existence
of the Advisory Board is t.hat of

about

decisions get priority - are th e y
ours or are they the ones
developed to satisfy Ybarra's
,' leeds and whims? Are o/e not
made to look somewhat stupid
by conducting an
interview

of their acceptance and t he n to
have Ybarra effectively tell Gail
and Gene "maybe?". Where do
we stand , as a Board and on
whose terms are we standing?

11. Did you formally speak with

l2. Why are you implementing

It was a

miracle. Yet, many would trycto
say it was more then that.
We have all heard the
reasons why we should explore
, space.
The Government insists
that it is our national destiny.
Major businesses explain the
economic principles behind the
need for space exploration. The
mass media exclaims that .the
shuttle and America's might are
back.
American's have, no
matter how rare the occasion,
something to look up to.
These reasons have validity,
but I began to wonder: what is
there to gain?
What is out
there that isn't here?
Americans wants to voyage
into outer space, that is for

certain.
We seem
to
be
fascinated with the vastness of
space, rather then that of the
earth.
There are still many
wonders about this earth about
which we know very little.
Those things th2.t we ' ¥ave so
little knowledge about are being
destroyed and exploited faster
and more efficiently then ever
before .
Not only are we annihilating
un known natural marvels, we are
turning our planet into one of
those planets to which we so
desperately
want
to escape.
While we explore the heavens
above, destroying the forests
that sustain all life, thus making
a living hell on earth.
We
el'plore immense dry riverbeds
on Mars' surface, yet we do
little to save our rivers and
streams
on
this
fragile
microcosm.
We peer into the
depths of space, and yet dump
thousands of tons of sewage
into our deep oceans.
While
humans try to determine the
deadly
atmosphere of other
planets, we are now discovering
that not only is our atmosphere
poisoned,
it's
disappearing!
Soon we won ' t ha ve to send
people to Mars, we'll be living
on it.

by Jon Cawthorne
On
Septem b,e r
30,
1988
Angela Davis, was brought to
speak by the Association of
African students at Portland

State University.
Davis spoke
on "the quest for a frec South
Africa."
In her opening remarks she

declared that the struggle in
South Africa had become a
global issue.
"The d ecades old
struggle in South Africa is about
to reach its culmination, and all
around the world peo ple have
expressed their solidarity with
the awesome freedom fighters in
South Africa with ' a resounding
global cry for freedom."
Ms. Davis talked about a
campaign to free jailed African
National Congress leader, Nelson
Mandela.
The objective of the
campaign, 'Free by 70', is to
have Nelson Mandela before "his
71st birthday ... (he) walk free In
the land of South Africa:

as much and often far more
than the adults."
However,
regardless of the barriers put
before them children refuse to
quit.
"The South
African
people ... are going to win with or
without
our
help,"
she
continued.
"There's no doubt
about it."
Davis told the crowd that
162 U.S. companies had pulled
out of South Africa but 115
international
companies
still
retained
ties.
Bill
2756
sponsored by Ron Dellums, Alan
Cranston and Edward Kennedy,
which is currently being debated

"We must
learn
to
read
between the lines of newspaper
articles, and We must be aware
of the fact that the struggle
goes on in Soutb Africa nen if
we do not read it in our local
ne wpapers."
Angela Davis
The freedom forces in South
Africa are clashing against, what
Davis calls, a racist, paranoid
and hostile government. "When
racism falls in South Africa it
will experience a global -de feat."
The children of South Africa
are caught in the middle of the
problems South Africa is h aving
because they don't have power.
"When racism is in power,"
Davis said,. "the children suffer

in the U.S. Senate prevents all
trade with South Africa.
"All the people of this
country must accept a certain
responsibility not only because
of the role the US is playing
today
bolstering
[the
South
African
Government),
but
because the system of Apartied
is
very
much
tied
to the
historical
experience
of
the
United States of America."

The S&A board is , in essence, an advisory board. Its allocation decisions are reviewed by and negotiated with
TESC Administration. Board members should become well acquainted with the mission, goals, objectives, policies,
and history of the Evergreen State College. For this reason, board members should become familiar with the
college's Strategic Plan, the Covenant on Governance, and the Social Contract.
