"Something is going on in Olympia that is threatening the greater
part of its downtown residents.
Tenants of the Clyde are to be
evicted. Tenants of the Thompson
are to be evicted. There is word that
the Uptown apartments are for sale.
Who's next?" asks Yann Buchanan,
an Evergreen student living in the
Clyde apartments at 4th and
Franklin. He and 16 others have until December 15 to find somewhere
else to live.
The Clyde, owned by Bellevuebased speculator Morris Piha, is a
dangerous place to live, according to
the memorandum residents received
November I :
"We are in agreement with the city that there is a potential for loss
of life in case of fire. We do not
want this to happen. We must move
to close down the apartment at this
time . "

City building official, David
Combs, said that installation of an
upslairs / downstairs alarm system
would extend, for up to 6 months,
the 30 day deadline that the city had
given Piha to vacate the apartments.
As long as renovation is in progress,
tenants can stay.
Long-term safety requirements for
the building include an additional
fire escape, downstairs ceiling
renovation, and firewalls in the attic space between the downstairs
businesses and the upstairs apartments. Up to $70,000 is the rumored
price tag on these improvements.
A company spokesman said Piha

Ken Black of the Olympia Community Development Office said the
Thurston County Housing Authority would like to see the building, and
others downtown, improved under
government subsidized financing, in
which case the buildings would
become low-income housing, but
they have had no takers; businesses,

downtown revitalizers want to see.
All over 'downtown Olympia,
residents (of which a substantial portion are Evergreen students) are feeling alienated and threatened by the
mania for community development.
Some blame the Mainstreet project,
so me blame out of town investors.
Others call it the yuppifieation of
America in general. Nearly a ll are
frightened.
"Sure, downtown Olympia will
look just smashing -- but 'look' is
jusl about ii ," said Stephanie
Morgan of the Clyde. "Can the
average worker afford to eat brioche
and drink espresso every morning?
Better yet, how would a dirt-laced
logger look in a fancy 'French'
bakery? Doesn't 'look' right, d oes
it?" she asked.
Frances Benfield, a resident of the
Martin apartme nt s at 5th and
Washington, lives on soc ial security
and is co ncerned about th e securi ty
of her home. "I've got a feel in g
about this place. I've had it for

A questionnaire, administered to
new students during registration, has
some Evergreen students up in arms.
The survey, which asks for students'
names, addresses, and phone
numbers, contains questions about
students' personal beliefs, attitudes
Some students, however, say they
were never told that the questionnaire was optional, and voiced
concerns about the way the survey
material would be used.
According to Hunter, when completed questionnaires are received
from Evergreen , the names and addresses are entered into one computer file and the responses are put
in a different file. The original questionnaires are then destroyed . A
third file is then created containing
a set of numbers which link the data
and name file.
The link file, which is the only
way responses and names ca n be
reunited, is then sent to a foreign
country . A judge or even Congress
cannot subpoena the information .
"[ think it's as close to a
foolproof way of protecting
respondents they could have devised," Hunter said of the Higher
Education Research Institute, coordinators of the study.
Hunter said the names were

Steve Hunter, director of planning
and research at Evergreen.
Most of the complaints against the
necessary for researchers to conduct
follow-up studies. "It's important to
researchers because what they're trying to do is to measure the effect that
colleges have on students in terms of
the personal values they hold," he
said .
Some Evergreen students,
however , have raised objections to
the questionnaire, which cost
Evergreen $562.20 to adm inister this
year. JeanineCorr, Mod 302B , said
she was upset by the nature of the
questions.
"I felt it was invading my privacy,
and it really bothered me that they
wanted my name and address . There
is no reason anyone would need 10
know the answers to so me of those
questions," she said.
Corr sa id she was not aware the
questionnaire was optional. "I felt
pressured to fill it in. They said il
was part of the registration process,
and 1 don't remember them saying
we didn't have to fill it out , " she
said .
Unwilling to provide some of the
information which the survey requested, Corr later went to the Office of Student Services to tell them
of her dissatisfaction.
"It wasn't unlil I told them that
was n't going to turn it in that I
found out it wasn ' t mandatory ,"
C orr said. She was also unhappy
with the method of collecting the
surveys. "They just had big boxes
sitting out for them . Anyone cou ld
have gone in, pulled them out and
left," Corr said.
Katie Kemp , A516, was also
unhappy with some of the questions
but turned her survey in. "We were
doing official check-in and registra tion kinds of things, so I assumed it
was important. They made it sound
lik e they really wanted us to turn
them in," she said.
Another Evergreen student , Joe
Earlywinc, was not bothered much
by the s urvey. "I figured it was jus t
for the school's resea rch, so I didn't
really mind . I answered it all honestly, so 1 didn't care who saw it. If
they want to throw me in jail for tell ing the truth , that' s their probl em, "
he said.
Some Evergreen student s apparently were n o t so truthful,
however. On e student, who asked to
remain anonymous, said Ihat all
eig ht people at his table filled the
survey in with bizarre answers. " W e
tried to see how outrageous we could
get. W e a ll treated it like a big jok e,"
he said.
~Gai l
Martin, Vice Pres ident for
Student Affairs, said that informa tion from the survey was useful tl}
Evergreen in a variety of ways. She
sa id that fact s about Evergreen
students are used to answer question s from legislators, community
groups and others . Additionally,
Evergreen faculty and staff mak e use
o f the survey results in applyin g for
grants, Martin said.
Martin also feels that th e survey
supports Evergreen's efforts to remain an alternative to t rad iI io nal
form s of high er education . " Th e
literature on experimental (olleges is
full of descriptions of the philosoph y
and curriculum of experimenta l (01lege; and empty of info rmati o n
about-th e s tudent s in th ese sc hoo ls.
There is a need for an a lt ern a ti ve
edu cational expe rience. The que'ti o nnaire h e lp s to identi fy a nd

Hunter sa id that hi s offi ce might
act to ensure sludents: conccrns about th e survey are addressed, "One of

"It's almost an endless battle,"

"Big windows say 'look in' but often
yell 'get out.' There is definitely a
certain breed of people who are

of what the Mainstreet project is and

Buchanan is suspicious of Olympia's big plans. "I ask the members

"Do we want out-of-town real estate
speculators buying up property and

the point where the city is forced to
push people from their homes? Is
that in the best interest of the Olympia community?
"The closure of the Clyde, and
now the talk of turning apartment
buildings lik e the Thompson and the
Martin into either condominiums or
office space, will put a lot of lowincome people on the st reets. With
the shortage of housi ng already,

Dick Scwartz, in charge of new
dorm plans, hopes to see the new
housing open by fall of '87. With a
substantial majority of downtown
Evergreen students feeling their
homes threatened, a serious problem
will likely emerge before then.
But students are not just living
downtown because the dorms are
full; they are here because they like
the community. Now, some feel as

Feelings of sadness, anger and
helplessness were expressed
throughout the downtown resident

"Businesses thrive on consumers.

sa id.
Faye Vaughn of the Clyde is
wondering why her home is being
taken away when run-down,
unu sable apartment space stands
empty above downtown businesses.
"Why isn't new living space being
made available?" she asked. "Olympia doesn't need condominiums -- it
needs more affordable housing,"
~ he said.
"There should be a concerted effort ," said Norkus, "to guarantee
an appropriate amount of low income housing. We are part of this
community. We contribute to the

Morris Piha or any other out of

the comm unity of Olympia?
"In evicting tenants of the C lyde,

Tenants avoid hassles by knowing rights boycotted
yesterday
by Cynthia M. Sherwood
Due to the 1982 Supreme Court
decision, the Consumer Protection
Organization is no longer able to
handle disputes listed under the
Residential Landlord-Tehant Act. If
landlords or tenants are unsure of
their rights or are in need of legal
assistance there are other services
available to advise in disputes.
One such service is the Landlord- .
Tenant Knowledge Organization
which began, in part, due to the loss
of the Consumer Protection
Organization.
"Our Organization's main conce rn is to advise people to write letters' if their problems are not resolv ed then we try mediation," says Sue
Grant, Executive Director for the
Land lord -Tenilnt
Knowledge
Organization.
Ken Eikenberry, Washington
State Attorney General, suggests
that before entering into a rental
agreement all parties involved shou ld
be aware of their rights and
responsibilities.
Listed below are several responsi bilities and legal options for both
landlords and tenants as stated in the
Residential Landlord-Tenant Act,
June IS, 1977.
Landlord's responsibilities consist
of the following:
o Maintain the dwelling so that it
does not violate state or local codes
or endanger tenants' health and
safety.
• Maintain structural components,
such as roofs, floors and chimney,
in reasonably good repair.

Election results in life support, levies
by Bob Reed
Thurston County Voters in the
November 5 election showed their
support for Advanced Life Support
Services by passing the Medic One
levy with 18,995 (78.5 percent) yes
votes and 5,216 (21.5 percent) no
votes.
The county is now authorized to
levy a tax of $1,335,000 (approximately 31.5 cents per $1,000 of
assessed valuation) upon all taxable
property in the county.
According to Medic One Director
Bette Schultz, the levy will fund
paramedics' salaries, vehicle upkeep
and will be used to help fund rural
fire departments.
Voters were not so supportive of
HJR 22, the proposed constitutional
amendment that concerned public
school excess property tax levies.
412,819 (55 percent) voted against
and 336,689 (45 percent) voted for
the amendment.
According to the voters pamphlet,
if HJR 22 had passed, it would have
eliminated the requirement that "the
total votes cast, both for and against
a tax levy proposition, must exceed
40 percent of the votes cast in the
taxing district at the last preceding
general election ."
The 60 percent yes vote requirement and the 40 percent voter turnout will continue to be required ill
order for long-term public school excess property tax levies to pass.
Leslie Kanzler of the Washington
Education Association (WEA) said
she is not optimistic about the future
of HJR 22 or similar amendments.
"The voters of Washington don't
want to change the 40 percent requirement," she said.
She said that some political experts have estimated that it will be
ten years before HJR 22 will reappear on the ballot. There is "a lot
of frustration" on the part of the
WEA and other groups that fought
for passage of HJR 22, Kanzler said .
"We worked for three months to
try to get the word out on what the
issue was. In one and a half weeks
the negative campaign, which played
on the fear of the voters, won," she
said. Kanzler said that the present
school levy system is "archaic" but
that people are afraid to change it.
William Fosbre, from the
Thurston County Chapter of Overtaxed, said he was pleased about the
outcome of the HJR 22 vote. "We
think it's fine . [t should never have
been put on the ballot. It would have
taken the people's control (over
school levies) away," he said.
Fosbre said that in the past, some
schools have submitted levies for
twice as much funding as the schools
actually needed. After several levy
failures, the schools reduced the levy
amounts to half or a third of the
original amount requested.
1f the 40 percent requirement were
eliminated, Fosbre said it would be
too easy for schools to pass levies,
especially in an off year election.
HJR 23, the amendment concerning public improvements, failed by
an 18 percent margin, 434,812 (59
percent) against and 307 ,573 (41 percent) in favor. The amendment concerned . the use of tax revenues
resulting from increased values of
benefitted properties .
If public improvements are made
in a particular district, it is usually
assumed by public officials that certain property values and therefore
property taxes in that district will
increase.
If HJR 23 had passed, it would
have allowed public officials to use,
in whole or in part, the income from
the increased taxes to pay for the
public improvements that increased
the property values.
Because the amendment did not
pass, the law, according to the voters
pamphlet, will continue to be that
"various taxing units (state, county,
city, port district, etc.) receive a proportional part of increased tax
revenue without regard to the
reasons that the property increased
in value."
HJR 12, the amendment concerning worker's compensation funds,
passed with 524,907 (71 percent) yes
votes and 211,510 (29 percent) no
votes. The approved amendment
allows the state investment board to
invest state industrial insurance in
the same way that the board invests
public employee pension and retirement funds.
All of the above funds can now be
invested in any manner authorized
by the state legislature. Current
authorized investments include
government and corporate stocks,
bonds, and other securities.
The final amendment on the
ballot, HJR 42, passed with 460,186
yes votes (65 percent) and 243,980 no
votes (35 percent). According to the
voters pamphlet , the amendment
permits "agricultural commodity
commissions to use agricultural
. assessments, paid by growers and
producers, for trade promotion and
promotional hos ting as the
legislature may speci fy ."

Salvadoran student risks his life to bring info
by Larry Smith
Americans aren't getting the truth
about what's going on in EI
Salvador. That was the message expressed here last Thursday by Antonio Quesada, president of
AGEUS, the student union of the
University of EI Salvador (UES).
According to Quesada, the U.S.
State Department and the media
have been giving us a false impression of improvement in EI Salvador.
Repression and political assassination by the death squads goes
unabated.
"While the U .S . State Department was telling Americans EI
Salvador was being run by a
democratic reformist government,
ordinary Salvadorenos were being
persecuted and killed for speaking
out against the government. "
Quesada pointed out that the
university had a long history of being in the forefront of democratic
agitation (taking a leading role in the
revolts of 1932 and 1944) and making it a leading target for future
repression having been invaded by
the army three times in the last 25
years.
The last time was in 1981, under
Jose Napoleon Duarte's first
presidency. "The campus was occupied for three years and left us
with a campus completely
destroyed," Quesada said. Buildings
were burned, classrooms were torn
up from the floorboards, and books
and equipment were stolen and sold
to private universities, he said. During the three years, the president of
the university was assassinated, the
board of trustees arrested, and over
500 students and professors were
missing or believed dead .
Quesada claims this is part of a
policy on the part of the government
to cripple the national university,
noting that the government has been
encouraging the expansion of small
upper-class private universities and
denying the UES money to make
repairs to the campus or replace
stolen property . When this years
budget was announced, it provided
money only for salaries, none for ad-
ministration or repair: As a result,
the president of the university led a
march of 23 ,000 students, professors
and staff to the treasury ministry to
protest the cuts.
According to Quesada, "The
treasury minister agreed to meet with
us, and told us very cynically, ' that
the government of EI Salvador cannot provide a budget for the university, because for the presidency of
Jose Napoleon Duarte it is more important to continue the war than
higher education and other basic
needs of the population.' The
minister also told us that 'neither
housing nor health care, nor nutrition are important to this
government. "
Quesada attacked the attitude of
the Salvadoran government. "Can
a government be democratic which
pronounces itself in favor of war?
Which openly presents itself as being opposed to satisfying the needs
of the people?"
Quesada accused the government
of renigging on its election promise
to end the death-squads. He said
Olympians bring Nutcracker to life
by Jenny Wortman Shepherd
Several Evergreen alumni and
many members of the Olympia community are involved in the Ballet
Northwest's production of "The
Nutcracker,"
opening
this
December. This production is also
special in that it is a part of the
"Center Stage" series that marks the
opening of the new Washington
Center for the Performing Arts.
Prior to the opening of the
Center, which had its premier week
at the beginning of October, the attention paid to theater in Olympia
was scattered. Bud Johansen, director of "The Nutcracker" and artistic
director of Ballet Northwest, said
that things are now changing
tremendously.
"It's

Now we're getting 15 to 16 percent

Johansen said.
According to Bob Stewart, theater

that none of the alleged members
who Duarte named in the election
campaign as leaders have not yet
been arrested. "In my country we
reward these people. We send them
as military attaches to embassies in
Europe or Latin America." This was
a reference to Duarte's latest attempt
to get some of them out of the country without offending the military.
"Duarte's image a~ a democrat is
nothing more than an image," said
Quesada recalling the scene of last
years election. He stated that only 40
percent of the eligible voters went to
the polls despite threats from the
military against anyone who didn't
have their [D stamped as having
voted. "Ultimately the government
is st ill controlled by the rich oligarchy now living in Miami, which pays
for the death squads and runs th e
country through its own in th e
military and the bureaucracy."
Freedom of the press is also only
a myth in EI Salvador because the
only non-government controlled
paper with a large circulation, Diaro
el Mundo, costs too much to adver tise in. And because of government
press blackouts, people outside EI
Salvador know more about how the
war is going. "We find out most of
our in formation from the international organization, like the Red
Cross and the refugee relief
organizations." Beyond these there
are only the guerilla radio stations,
Radio Marti and Radio Venceremos
which can hardly be expected to fill
the role of unbiased journalists.
Quesada's training at the university is in agricultural science, and he
said he feels that the government's
land reform program is a sham
designed to paci fy the rural farmers
just long enough to fight the war
with the guerillas. [n many parts of
the country the death squads have
scared the farmers off the land that
they were given. The death-squads
know the government police, and the
army won't stop them. The land in
some places has nQt been cultivated
since.
Quesada expressed concern over
the U.S . military buildup in
neighboring Honduras. He fears
that it may lead to a regional war,
he said, and ultimately that th e
government still was having strings
pulled in Washington, noting
Duarte's continual visits to the
United States. "W hat kind of
government is it that must come here
for approval before it makes its major decisions," he said.
Quesada said that he will return
to EI Salvador at the end of hi s
western states tour despite the fact
that his name headed a li st of
students who were targeted for death
if they did not leave the country. The
lis t appeared as an advertisement in
a newspaper. Since its appearance,
there have been three attempts on his
life. Quesada said he feels that, "in
spite of this journey of tragedy for
the university, we have continued to
move forw ard in the reconstruction
of the university, because it is the
one thing that can serve as a pillar
for achieving development in (lur
country , for achieving social
justice. "
Quesada relurns 10 EI Salvador 011

Carter speaks at UW
by Janine M. Thome
Former president Jimmy Ca rter
visited the University of Washington
last week, and made a free address
to the pUblic. While hundreds of
people stood outside, unable to get
into the capacity-filled Meany Hall,
Carter promoted the necessity of
American
diplomacy
and
negotiation .
Focusing on what we could do to
keep America great, Carter also examined the role of the presidency,
and spoke of his own achievements
and disappointments while in office.
After his address, questions a nd
answers were exchanged, ranging
from: human rights, South Africa
divestiture, registration for armed
services, and student apathy towards
controversial issues.
Regarding South Africa, Carter
carefully stated his belief that all
educational inst itutions should
divest. He said that such investment
in South Africa does not sel the example to encourage the betterment
of humankind .

To t he Editors,
Just a short note to apologize for
our misu se of the word "solicit" in
our letter, published 1117. It must
have been a Freudian slip on our
part. We have been known to view
o ur sc hool newspaper advertising
space as a n unfit place for pro"Io ting corporations who have yet to
divest from South Africa. All in a ll,
it is a prostitution of the moral
covenants in the unwritten soc ial
t.:ont ract between th e Evergreen community and the CPJ.
We find it reassuring that you see
the need 10 weigh yo ur " mo ral
beliefs" (whatever they may be)

"economic realities." I do know
$6,396 comes from inst itutional support, $10,500 comes from the
c; timated revenu e for '8 5- '86
--$35,880.
We have to wonder about th e
"economic rea lity" of priorit izing

We have to also wonder if Institut ional and S&A funds should be used to subsidize advertising of questionable moral standing.
In your reply to our letter, you
sa id that in our li ves we deal with
"t he paradoxes between the idea l
a nd the real. When faced with a
choice between accepting an advert ise ment or not , we not only have to

We can not help but perceive this

views are in conflict with those of

your obligation 10 those who provide
a majority of your funding on the
back burner when an opportunity to

You are right in saying that your

CPJ's morals

bloodmoney
To The Editor:
Last week Clay Zollars wrote a letter requesting that the CPJ refu se
paid advertisements from companies
that have yet to divest their interest
in South African holdings. Your rcply to his letter added to my growing
sense that Eve rgreen is moving fast
into the main stream of yuppie, mefirst, profit -motivated America. Not
a pretty concep!.
You say that you support the
Evergreen resolution to divest South
African holdings, however, in
reading your further statements I
understand that CPJ support of that
resolution is strictly in the form of
lip service. When an institution
resolves to refuse to support the insane policies of a regime whose
wealth is obtained through the blood
and misery of its victims, that inslitution must stick to its resolve:
refuse to support, in any way, the
economic well being of those
perpetrators of horror. People are
dying for their freedom in South
Africa, and while we must realize
that whether or not the CPJ participates in a financial boycott of
South Africa makes no great impact
on the economic status of that nation, this little publication will have
joined with all of us who refuse to
accept their blood money .
Morals cannot be bought or sold.
You imply that the CPJ cannot
financially afford to turn away a
paid advertiser. I tell you that th e
CPJ cannot morally a fford to accept
payment coined through the enforced labor and increasing mi se ry of an

Ford Motor Company, a free company in a great and free nation,
shows clearly that you understand
the difference between being free
and being liberal. Freedom is a God
given right. The fact that this corporation invests in South Africa
should make us feel proud and
honored that we live in a free nation
where any man or woman can follow
his/ her beliefs .
The fact that corporations and
colleges have chosen to divest in
South Africa shows their ignorance
of the situation and history of that
country. A quick glimpse of African
history shows that black rule has inevitably led to revolution after
revolution and oppression far worse
than South Africa has ever dreamed of. Take almost any African nation as an example, for instance Idi
Amin's Uganda or Col. Moammar
Khadafy's Libya. Do these people
who are demanding divestiture condone murder if it is not cross racial?
Is a black government killing blacks
unobjectionable?
The
now
fashionable bandwagon protesting
the South African Government is
not driven by concern for the South
African people but by the current
p0pularity of protest.
When one looks solely at South
African history, it can be seen that
the whites have been there for over
300 years. Until the Europeans arrived, the natives were killing each
other with sticks and stones and liv-.
ing in hovels that protected them littie more than their scanty loin cloths.
They now live in the nation with the
highest per-capita income of the entire African continent.
This richness would be destroyed,
and the economy of South Africa
would collapse if Botha's government were to just up and leave.
Botha's government is working for
the union of blacks and whites and
the improvement of black's rights.
Eventually South Africa's problems will be solved by the patient
cooperation of both sides. Rioting,
divestment, and thoughtless protests
and boycotts are only aggravating
the situation . The safest solution to
the problem of South Africa is to let
the politicians and leaders solve it.
Change is not an overnight thing . [t
requires a lot of thought, work, and
time if people are to benefit from it.
Sincerely,
Evergreen Students for America,
ESA.

THANKSGIVING
We will be open Thanksgiving and we are serving
a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings . Everything will be authentic and delicious.
I'm for physical fitness, but there
are plenty of schools who support
sports. Is the demand for sports that
pertinent at this school? This is a
liberal arts school!! A unique quality, that 'has been here since the
beginning, is being let go. ThiS is the
beginning of the fight. We can't let
this precious part of our school die.
Three years ago, parents were able
to focus the college's attention on
these daycare issues. From all
reports that effort had some success.
Driftwood now has the USDA food
program, and it now meets DSHS
minimum licensing requirements.
What worries me today is these
same reports tell me that the majority of Driftwood parents are still hav-

ing to circumvent the normal chain
of command to see any further
positive steps taken. And some of
the things Larry Stenberg assured us
would happen--c1oser supervision of
the director of Driftwood, including
annual evaluations by her supervisor, have not occurred.
Since lea~ing Evergreen, I have
started teaching and now direct an
established private school in Skagit
County. Our school houses a
preschoolldaycare as well as a g~a m
mar school. Our budget and
volunteer support is far below Driftwood's, yet our program goes far
beyond what Driftwood has to of-·
fer the early learner.
To The Editor:
The article "TESC art buried in
solemn procession" prompted me to
think that this issue isn't being taken
very seriously. I am criticizing the article because it merely documented
the happening. It did not enter into
the weight of the issue at hand .
A major change is taking place at
Evergreen, there is a need for more
than just a regurgitation of what
everyone knows.
This is my second quarter at
Evergreerl. I a m interested in
developing my skills as an artist. I
picked this school for these reasons:
Aside from th e art program this
school has a reputation fo r recognizing the individual. Evergreen is different from th e ave rage four year institution. If we wa nt to be lik e every
other college in the USA, we a re on
our way.
I am disappointed that the original
Evergreen theme is fading into the
background bit by bit. The art programs being e liminated is just a sample of what is to come . I won't accept that, due to lack of support,
such a vital part of our school is being wiped clean.
In the meantime we are developing our sports program, x-country
and soccer are becoming college
competitive. As of late, news of a

Dear Editor,
While a student at Evergreen I
joined with many other Driftwood
parents in spending a great deal of
time and lots of positive energy
negotiating with the daycare center's
director--trying to bring the center in
lin e with minimum health and sa fety regulations.
After realizing that our energ ies
had been squandered, we banded
together and confronted th e college
adm ini st ration with our grievances:
• Driftwood did not meet DSHS
minimum sa fet y and healt h
stand ards.
• Our children were not being adequately supervised .
• The director wa s not providin g
enough supervision or guidance to
employees, intern s and parent
volunteers.
• While Driftwood was more than
adequately financed , it was not providing a program befitting of
TESC's reputation.
e Driftwood was not taking advantage of the Federally subsidized food
program .
I hope those student s, fat.:ulty,
staff members and administr~tion
members with vis ion in ear ly
childhood developm ent and ed ucation, will continue to wo rk a t bringing Driftwood up to the sta nd ard s
which we dayca res in the private sCc'tor now already meet.
[n th e future I hop e SIUdent / parent energies can be lI sed by
th e center in stead of being sq uas hed by the ma nagement which seemed unwilling a nd unable to work
to ward creating a creative, healthy
lea rnin g e nvironm e nt for o ur

Sincere ly,

Q:QlnlOnS
Tempers brew over SAGA's high yoghurt prices
by R. Paul Tyler
Deep in the uncharted wilderness,
a small column of intrepid explorers
wound their way through a dense
mass of memorandum, committee
reports, and clinging vines of red
tape. Suddenly their native gu ide
stopped in his tracks.
" Quiet!" he commanded. His
eyes widened. He began to nervously finger the buttons on his cardigan
sweater. He turned to Jungle Joe,
the leader of the expedition. "Heap
vi g trouble , bwana . Its the
Dormers. "
Th ere it wa s, throbbing through
the concrete canyons. Crackling
across the still afternoon air lik e
static electricity from a nylon carpet
on a cold day . Drums. Joe turned to
th e rest of hi s party, nattily attired
in tweed jackets and business dresses
approved by John T. Malloy.
"The natives are restless," he said
with an air of unease. "What is it
this time?" one asked, "Cliff
swallows?"
"Word processing?" volunteered
another.
"Probably something big," a
third offered. "Maybe sexual harrasment or ethnic origin of administrative species."
Joe cocked his ear down the
hall way, "No, worse than that," he
said.
"What? What?" they demanded .
"Yoghurt," Joe said. "The price
of yoghurt."
There are a lot of people prell y
upset with prices at the Deli. Soda
is nearing a dollar a can for " the
good stuff." And a lillie package of
yoghurt is over a buck. It seems a bit
stiff and some people are getting the
fee ling that their tuition is being
siphoned off for nutrition.
This latest grassroots movement,
dubbed "Repercussions" by its initiators, got its start during a jam session in B dorm . It began with some
drums and gu itars, some anger and
frustration, next there are fifty people in a kitchen on the third floor
plotting a boycott of SAGA's pride
and joy: the Deli .
With all the other issues facing the
Evergreen community it might seem
that (lVerpriced bagels should be
somewhere down on the list of
priorities, but let's face it, the Deli
is very outfron!. It's not wrapped in
any
mysterious
mumbo administrative-jumbo. It's not a lot
of forms and meetings. It's money
out of our pockets and into someone
else's.
Some might think that this is all
a tempest in a tea cup, so to speak,
but it really is a matter that will have
repercussions beyond the immediate
matter of whether or not the price
of a turkey sandwich will rise or fall.
The most important function of any
institution of learning is educating
students.
The controversy over SAGA will
be the first experience many students
will have ever had in challenging the
institutions that influence their lives.
Organizing a protest, digging out
contracts, learning about policy,
about procedure, about profit
margins, are all valuable steps in
learning how to change systems of
injustice.
The price of yoghurt may seem to

be a trivial thing to focus on when
Evergreen is entering a critical juncture in the direction of its future
development. But remember Marie
Antoinette. "Let them eat cake,"
she said. You know what it got her.
"What should we do now,
bwana?" the guide asked, turning an
imploring eye to Jungle Joe.
"I don't know," he replied.
"Maybe we can fire off a volley of
memorandum. That might scare
them off. Or we could surround
them with a disappearing task force
and starve them out."
"Maybe we could confuse them
with a randomly selected computer
survey," the guy carrying the dog
house suggested.
"I just don't know. But if things get
really bad we'll head ba<;k to Fort
Trustee and reorganize."

"These building machines
transport the blocks and parts, then

It's like the way we use some trees

to The Nutrition Center, located in

the replies in next weeks
Human·Nature. One question we
received this week was, Why is
calcium important, especially for
women?
Calcium plays many roles. It is in tegral to the structure of teeth and
bones, it's needed for the contraction and relaxation of muscles and
the firing of nerves and it's used by
many cells to' mediate the flux of
electrical and chemical communication signals bet ween brain and muscle, etc.
Women need more calcium,
magnesium and iron before and during menstruation to balance losses
due to increased metabolism.
Calcium is linked to hormonal and
nervous regulation, magnesium is involved with the major energy
medium, and iron is needed for
building healthy red blood cells .
See you next week .
Nutrition Center: Dr. Enigma, with
all the radiation and toxic chemicals
and allergens in our environment
how can we ever be healthy?
Dr, Enigma: The first thing is to find
out where the toxins, allergens, etc .
are located and avoid further exposure. This isn't easy. Second,
reduce stress by breathing and exercizing daily and by not fighting too
much with the powers that be.
Third, assist your body' s cells and
proteins to assist you by making sure
to eat "healthy" foods, containing
all the essential raw materials,
vitamins and minerals you need.
N.C,: Doctor, there's such a temptation to just eat a package processed food stuff. Can't I just eat this
and get my vitamins from a pill?
Dr. E,: You can do what you want
but I'm afraid you'll end up deficient in the essential raw materials
and have an excess of toxins wearing you down and technicians trying
to fix you. Sounds familiar doesn't
it?
N.C.: What's a healthy food?

Celso brings sad, funny character to life
Last Saturday, Evergreen Expres-.
sions presented "I Am Celso" to an
audience that responded to the
words spoken from a lonely heart.
Celso is a tragicomic character who
encourages laughter as he preaches
his brand of gospel according to the
holy grape. Celso received laughter,
and Ruben Sierra received a standing
ovation for his portrayal of this
character in the Experimental
Theatre.
On Friday morning, Ruben Sierra
sits facing a mirrored wall, brilliantly
lit, intent upon applying his foundation . The reflection shows the brown
lines adding different creases to his
face. Pots of face paint are set
before this man sitting in one-piece.
red, longjohns.
He's a bit overweight; his costume
makes this clear, and he doesn't have
as much gray hair as photographs
have shown. He's neither attractive
nor unattractive as he sits makingup Celso. Sierra is busy with the process of getting out of himself,
preparing to step into th.: character
who says, "I Am Celso."
Sierra is ready to talk, "After finding the poetry of Leo Romero, it
was set aside before I went back to
it. I sent it down to Jorge Huerta,
a friend teaching Drama at San
Diego. This began a commute up
and down the coast to talk about,
and develop the work for the stage.
When he was able to get a sabbatical, he took off and came up .
"It was at this time that we read, .
analyzed, and broke the material into themes that we set. The performance is a collaboration. There is no
improvisation. The theater makes
the poetry come alive. You have to
understand that good drama is good
poetry. Both work to elevate
language. "
When asked about the single
character and its problems, Sierra
smiles broadly--up close to the mirror, and stains his teeth with enamel.
The teeth take on a brown tint that
is part of the aging process.
Sierra speaks about variety, "The
stage lets you be whoever you want,
or whatever you want. You can learn
a lot about people through this. This
doesn't mean that I go out and seek
Celso on the street, but playing him
makes Celso easier to recognize."
He went on· to say, "The character
never loses interest for me, because
the audience is always different. But
being 'up there alone is a challenge.
I have to solve any problems that
might come up. The monologue lets
you relate directly to the audience .
You're watching them, and they're
watching you."
Sierra sponges color from the
pots, and begins stippling his face as
he begins to talk about the variety
in his work now, "I don't do as
much acting as I do directing. I see
my own theater company, The
Group, not dealing with entertainment as much as bringing out social
He takes the lid off of a jar of
white paint and begins brushing it on
his hair. He is asked whether the real
Celsos' have been able to see the
staged version--in other words,
whether the monologue has gone into the inner city streets. Sierra is asked whether he is concerned about
taking Celso out there--if he knows
what's really being said. He turns
from the mirror to face the eyes that
ask as he answers, "I know city life.
I come from San Antonio where
there are about one million people.
A street performance has been talked about before, but so far it hasn't
happened. "
His eyes go back to the mirror as
he continues, "Once Celso did come
into a theater in Pioneer Square
where we were performing. This guy
comes with a picture of Celso, a bottle of wine, and sits right up in the
first row, and begins relating to
Celso-- having a conversation. I just
went on with the script. The audience might have been getting annoyed with him, thinking he was
bothering me--but no, really It was

.
Celso preaches gospel.ac~rd~ng
to the grape. Who d~es th.ls wmo
character appeal to? SIerra IS shaking cans of spray paint.as he g?C:s on
to tell, "The character IS surpnsmgly
clear. It was performed for a group
of old folks I.i~ing ne~r the Market,
and a surpnsmg thmg happened.
Many of the men walked out of the
room . It was the women who enjoyed the character. You see,. Celso
is rom~ntic--saying pretty thmgs 10
a genume way. LIke when h~ goes
on to say that he sees women 10 the
moon. Celso loves women."
He rises and sprays white paint on
his hair. Out of the dressing room
and on to the stage. The bitter-sweet
nature of Celso is not a funny reality. But people laugh. Celso makes
people laugh.
At the end of the taping, Sierra
emphasized that some audiences
really do find Celso funny. He continued, "You have to understand
that he chose his way of life. He
laughs. He jokes. He doesn't want
people to feel sorry for him. Yes,
he's lonely, but he doesn't get sentimental about it.
"He chose the independence of
his life, and that's the thing that's
important to him--life. Celso is between 10 and 100 years old. Don't
pinpoint his age. The play ends as
it begins. The last line? Let's see.
'Old age has gotten you nowhere
Celso. Nowhere but in trouble. I
think of death, and I'm filled with
fear. But that too is bound to be a
disappointment, nothing like what
the child would have imagined it to
be. ' "
Despite the fact that it was below
freezing outside, people ranging
from toddlers to senior citizens, men
and women came to fill the Rainbow
Restaurant on Sunday, November 9,
to see and hear the Expressive Arts
program, "Power of Theatre," perform some of their work in progress.
The performances were warm and
very much alive with feeling.
Students- performed pieces of
scripts by contemporary feminist
playwrights. So what is feminist
theater? What does it cover? Well,
it is uncovering, and elevating relationships in women's lives. The intimacies based on relationships between the self, body, and spirit are
voiced and characterized.
The interaction between players
brought up certain internal ways of
being that women possess when confronted with themselves. Love,
anger, pride, fear, awe, naivete, and
even indifference came through.
Women's lives and histories do
work to affect each other. The performances highlighted the affection.
That is to show that affection is
touching, that affection is moving,
that affection is beautiful, and that
by Dennis Held
The Olympia Film Society'S second annual Film Festival opened
Friday, Nov. 8 with a wide variety
of films, including John Antonelli's
production, "Kerouac." The film,
described in the OFS's flyer as a
"loving tribute to the father of the
Beat Generation," is a collage of in-
"Kerouac's life is describ·
ed in a mawkish, pop·
psych analysis which is ...
at worst an insult to the
viewers intelligence."
terviews, clips of Kerouac on TV
shows, and a dramatic recreation of
his formative years. The narrative
biography is cloying and amateurish,
but the interviews and, especially,
the footage of Kerouac himself,
rescue the film from the clutches of
the sappy and sentimental narrative.
About 100 people attended the
showing at the State Theatre, anticipating the previously announced
double billing of "Kerouac" and
"Pull My Daisy," a 1959 release
about the Greenwich Village
underground, narrated by Kerouac .

ing the title song, intercut with images of smokers and cigarette advertising. The lyrics, printed in subtitles
as Sonny sings, are either a comment
on white America' s inability to
understand the blues idiom, or else
not. You decide.
Finally,
the
long-awaited
"Kerouac" began, with scenes from
a 1959 interview on "The Steve
Allen Show." Problems with the
projector, which were to surface annoyingly three times during the first
half of the film, marred the beginning . The film then explores
Kerouac' s early years, in a script
narrated by poet Peter Coyote .
Here, "Kerouac" takes a fast
downward slide, as Kerouac's life is
described in a mawkish, pop-psych
analysis which is at best suspect and
at worst an insult to the viewer's
intelligence.
The casting of "Kerouac" reveals
an insensitivity to the truth. Kerouac
was a strikingly handsome man, but
he had a rough edge to his appearance, and to his life, that is missing in the film. The actor who plays
him looks as though he just stepped
off the pages of GQ, and brings no
depth of emotion to the role. Thus.

pens when women get together to do
work that is important to them. Passion is the only word I can use to
describe what I felt last Sunday."
Tom Naught stated, "The performance at the Rainbow was a rollicking fanfare--a parade of decadent
feminism. It was really quite real.
Sometimes they were so innocent
that I cried. Other times I laughed .
It
was
a
good
performance ... However, as actors on
stage, they must also concentrate at
all times on their vocal projection.
In the back, we could see all the action, but oftentimes the words were
muted by their intimate affectations.
I am interested, but I need to hear
it, in order to support it."
"I am Sarah Rose, an actor and
singer in Sunday night's performance. I have never learned so much
about myself and grown as much as
I have in this class called 'The Power
of Theatre.' Sunday's performance
reflected many aspects of our selves
through the playwrights.
"Sharing this with the community is part of our self-recognition .
Myself and Jan Gillanders shared
, some songs that were a pleasure to
perform. The communication was
pleasure. I feel a great loss because
of the budget cuts to the arts at
Evergreen. I do not know how to express the vacuum that will be present
for me when many excellent faculty
leave next year."
Tracey Stefan adds her experience
as a performer, "I was moved at the
level of experience that I heard and
saw from the audience. As a performer, I felt very self-invested in the
performance. It communicated
things that I have felt about being
a female in this culture, but had
never before been able to articulate.
I don't feel as though my work is
through.
"Sunday's performance just
touched the tip of the iceberg.
Theater has a healing power. It's
healing because it addresses issues
that are relevant and important to
the audience and performers . Okay.
There's the oppression of women
and physical taboos imposed by
culture. Theater allows the participants to physically and emotionally work through issues which
have before now been isolated and
secret. "
The work is provocative and progressive. It's encouraging to see progress. The "Power of Theatre" is
making it.

However, distribution problems
forced the cancellation of "Daisy,"
and two shorts were substituted:
"Frankenweenie," a 1985 Disney
Studios release by director Tim Burton, (who also brought you "Pee
Wee's Big Adventure") and
"Cigarette Blues," also released this
year and directed by San Francisco
artist Les Blank .
"Frankenweenie," starring Shelly Duvall and Daniel Stern, is a send
up of, you guessed it, the Mary Shelly story, set in suburban America.
Poor young Victor Frankenstein '.s
pooch Sparkie meets his doggy
Maker in a confrontation with a car,
and the movie focusses on Victor's
science-fairish attempts to revive the

The humor is derived from the
comic references to the original
"Frankenstein," rather than the
dialogue, but the sight gags are effective. Duvall and Stern turn in

Some of the themes which are

Students and performers in the

Tory Babbit (performer) said, "I
felt the performances brought out a

theater in our program, I feel much

that at the Rainbow performance."

Women's soccer ends season with best game yet
by Bob Reed
The women's soccer ~eam ended
their season with a 3-1 victory over
Seattle University at home. Mary
Gray and Erica Buchanan scored on
20 yard' 'lob" shots and Meg Gallie
scored on a follow-up shot.
"I think we played our best game
ever. We worked well together. We
used everyone and came together as
a team," said center-half back Cindy Broadbent.
Ann Hollingsworth, who played
halfback and forward, said, "We
were extremely ·hyped. People really wanted to win . It was the last
game and we had to prove ourselves.
"(Before the game) players said:
'We have the rest of the year to
recover.' I think it's an attitude we
should have had all year. If we were
like that for every game, we'd be
really awesome."

The sunshine glimmering
Through the slit in the drawn curtains
Bakes the vinyl records
Strewn about the cluttered floor . .
There on the davenport
She lays, her mind warping
As each time laden moment
Flashes by in the agony of her loneliness.
Scrawling images onto paper
Her words are lyrical
Rhythmically somber
Poetically typical.
She's dying inside
She's dying inside
And the solitude swallows her
Consuming her mind
Her skin is electric
Her words are eccentric
But deep down dejected
She stare through Ihe ebuny skylight
The morbid strains of music
Spiral and pulsate around
The piles of clothing and rotting food
Left unattended.
Her heart pounds pathetically
Like the silent drumming of rain
That never stops
To dry the soil beneath her long fingernails.
The laughing faces
Were hard to decipher
Under the doom of imposing moments
That left her searching through the ebony skylight.
She's dying inside
She's dying inside
And t/:le images swallow her
Consuming her mind
Her skin is electric
Her words are eccentric
But deep down dejected
She stares through the ebony skylight.

Incalculable
Who is he now?
that child that waited patiently for
the wake of distant speedboats
to stroke the summer shore?
That one who dreamed of
ultra-sonic witches and
a heroic uncle
rescuing sinking cars from quicksand.
Has he lost his face
under indelible disguises
of experience and deceit?
Buried the dark-haired babe,
the fever-eyed tot in the Rebel cap?
What to do now,
alone with expectation and responsibility,
but, still,
knowing no pleasure greater
than tossing pebbles in a pond,
or holding a loved one near?
Where to sooth a soul
now that those feet will never again
rest on a high branch
of the old willow tree,
and the smell of Grandma's Sunday roast
has blown away on the uncalcuable vapors
of Time after Death?
