Rotting rodent possible cause of Geoduck
House water contamination; septic leak doubted
by Cynthia M. Sherwood
Well
contamination
was
discovered during a water test on
January 16, 1986 at the Geoduck
House, 4346 Sunset Beach Dr.
N.W., by Judy Whittaker, a
Thurston County Environmental
Health Department inspector.
Evergreen rents the Geoduck
House to the Olympia Community
School, which is a private school offering alternative education to 25
children. "The school (Evergreen)
should be testing its water on a
quarterly basis," said Phil Brinker,
a Health Department inspector who
has been working on the well case
with staff members at Evergreen and
the Geoduck House.
It appears they, Evergreen, did
take tests, but didn't keep records
with I.D. numbers, so it is difficult
to determine when the contamination occured, Brinker said.
Evergreen's Facilities Engineer
Supervisor, Ron Wilkinson, says he
tested the well in December and got
a positive reading, which means the
water was contaminated. "I purified
the system with bleach and tested it

again. That time the reading was
worse," he said. Wilkinson then
notified the caretaker at the community school.
"When we became involved, we
just decided to start taking over the
testing of samples ourselves,"
Brinker said, because the county has
better lab facilities than Evergreen.
On January 20, the day after the
heavy rain storm, Brinker said he inspected the well. The top casing had
not flooded, but Brinker said he did
discover that the seals were not properly placed. This led him to believe
that a small rodent might possibly
have gone down the casing and
decomposed, causing
water
contamination.
"I would have to agree with
Brinker," said Wilkinson, "That is
the leading possibility at this time."
During winter months, said
Brinker, small rodents are looking
for entrances to warm places. The
seal should be water tight, but in this
case it was loose; the goose net vent,
which serves as a protector, was not
screened over as it should have been,
he said.
Sue Feldman, Olympia Community School teacher, said she
believed that the Geoduck House
sent out notifications of water contamination, and they also informed
(he parents at a general meeting held
a month ago.
The house was given bottled water
from Evergreen, said Wilkinson, at
a cost of $50 a week. The cost of the
bottled water is not a major impact,
he said, but it has taken time away
from the college and is basically an
expense of maintenance time. As of
January 30, Wilkinson had repaired
the well, said Brinker.
Wilkinson said he also disinfected
it with chlorine repeatedly. He said
he also raised the vent a few feet
above the casing to decrease the
possibility of contamination through
flooding.
"Generally three or four times of

disinfecting does it, and if not I
would suspect it was something
other than something falling down
the casing," Brinker said.
Wilkinson said septic contamination could be a possibility. "An
overflow, poor pump or possible
crack in the tank could cause septic
water to enter the ground," he said,
"and if that reached a cracked well
casing, the actual steel pipe that goes
into the ground, contamination
could occur."
"We still have a lot of unknowns
there," said Brinker, "although the
septic tank is not being ruled out, it
doesn't appear to be the cause."
Brinker said sewage contamination
would have shown fecal colifor, a
group of bacteria that inhabit warm

body intestines. "There wasn't any
fecal coliform. There was, though,
an awful lot of bacteria," he said.
"It's not really OK with the State
or County to not have water," said
Feldman. The "original inconvenience, the first day remembering
that they couldn't turn on the
water," was the most difficult part
for the children.
"We've had one illness that
possibly could be associated," said
Brinker. Darleen Osborn, Olympia
Community School art teacher, said
she became sick with a viral illness
that entered through the mouth. She
said it happened the day after the
County called and reported the contamination. Osborn said her doctor
suspected the illness was a result of

the water contamination, but they
were unable to prove it because the
County misplaced her first test
samples, and her more recent testing
results have been inconclusive.
"We'll continue to test the water
until the problem is cleared up," said
Brinker, "because we are still only
speculating as to the actual case of
the contamination."
The water is safe now; however,
Brinker says further testing is
underway.
"We want to make certain we
have two consecutive good samples
before giving a final OK on the
water," said Brinker. Another sample was taken, he said, and the
results should be available by the end
of the week.

DTF establised to examine Smoking DTF
violations of smoking law identifies its goals
by Sherry Hill
Smoking has been a hot issue
smoldering from within the campus
community since the passage of the
Washington Clean Indoor Air Act in
April, 1985 by the Washington State
Legislature. A Smoking Policy DTF
was recently assigned the task of
defining the law for the campus by
Sue Washburn, Vice President for
Development and Administrative
Services after Employee Relations
Director Rita Cooper presented the
issue to the three vice presidents.
(See CPJ, 2/13/86)

us together."
Cooper notes that many smokers
have expressed to her that they don't
feel that their smoking is offensive
to others. One smoker, drawing
from studies of smoking bans in the
workplace, told Cooper that efficiency goes down in the workplace
and tension goes up when people
must leave to take a smoke break.
Washburn said that students have
complained about faculty smoking,
both in their offices and in class.
Cooper says that non-smoking faculty have complained about their coworkers smoking in open offices,

"I feel that smokers have an insensitivity to those around them."
—Michael Strauss
"This is the most discussed issue
that I have ever dealt with — that includes
unions, contracts...
anything." Cooper says. She
estimates that the Employee Relations Office received 50 to 60 calls
on the subject from faculty, staff
and students, and from smokers and
non-smokers.
After the law was enacted, Cooper
took on the task of writing the college policy on the issue. As she began
her work on the smoking policy, the
campus community began to respond. Cooper said she soon realized that she had too controversial an
issue to take on single-handedly.
Cooper says non-smokers' concerns varied between smokers breaking the law to people becoming ill
from cigarette smoke. Smokers have
expressed concern that their opinions
might not be considered in the policy
development, she says.
"Personal relationships are strained," says Cooper, because of the
smoking issue. Washburn stated
recently that the smoking issue "can
either splinter the campus or bring

"The smoke drifts out in the
hallways. Non-smokers must then
shut their doors to keep the smoke
out," she says.
Some faculty mentioned to
Cooper that they had the right to be
assigned to smoke-free offices. Nonsmokers moving into offices that
smelled of smoke was offensive, they
told Cooper. The non-smoking
faculty members "were finding that
the smoke odor permeated their
clothing and belongings after settling into their offices," Cooper said.
A student complained to Cooper
that the motor pool vehicles smelled too smoky. The student told
Cooper that they wanted certain cars
set aside at the motor pool for nonsmokers.
Many smokers expressed willingness to work with the community. Carolyn Bentler, a staff member
of the DTF announced at the first
DTF meeting that she had decided
to quit smoking. Though she will be
changing her habits, Bentler noted
that "we need to do something that's
fair for everybody." John Dion, a

staff member that works in the
Registrar's Office, says, "It boils
down to courtesy and respecting the
rights of other people. When you
start infringing on non-smokers'
rights you have to question your own
values."
One smoker, who asked not to be
identified said, "I will respect the
no-smoking areas. Usually when I
smoke, I leave my desk so I won't
offend others."
Conversely, Mike Hall, staff
member on the DTF noted that
when he approached a violator in the
CAB cafeteria no-smoking section,
the individual seemed offended to
even have the matter brought to their
attention.
Michael Strauss, student member
of the DTF says, "I feel that
smokers have an insensitivity to
those around them." He also said
that he resented faculty members
smoking around students, but
couldn't do anything about it.
Thelma Stamey, a smoking
member of the staff, noted that during registration, the Enrollment Services area was "just thick with
smoke." Many registrants, standing
in line, were smoking while waiting.
Meg Hunt, a faculty member on the
DTF and also a non-smoker, observed that while students aren't smoking in class, they smoke in the
hallways during breaks. That causes
problems, she said, because nonsmokers are using the hallways and
are forced to walk through the thick
smoke.
A walk through the campus finds
ashtrays distributed to lounge areas
and hallways; people are smoking in
several areas on the campus which
are addressed in the law as nosmoking areas.
The Smoking Policy DTF will be
discussing these concerns from 3:30
to 5 p.m. in LIB 3121 any Tuesday
over the next few weeks to draft a
proposal for campus review, according to DTF chairperson Larry
Stenberg.

Housing plans new dorms,
ups rent, cuts services
by Margaret Livingston
The Board of Trustees met
February 12 and gave Housing at
Evergreen permission to negotiate a
contract with Bryant and Associates
of Bellevue, Washington, to prepare
a conceptual plan for new dormitories. This does not mean working drawings, but is an aid for
Evergreen to narrow down cost
estimates. The plan is necessary
before applying for a DOE subsidy.
Jeannie Chandler, head of the

Housing office, cautioned that there
are still many steps to be covered
before construction actually starts:
research for a subsidy so that construction money can be obtained at
3 percent instead of the current
market rate, bids have to be
prepared, etc. Present plans are to
have the new building ready for
students by fall 1987.
According to Chandler, the new
housing will not be the traditional
dormitory, but will be apartment
style, similar to the 5-person apart-

Olander hosts pianists
Joe Olander, TESC president, will
host what has to qualify as an area
record for fund raising. For a mere
$100 a select few (i.e. those who have
$100!) may attend Joe's place on
Budd Inlet for cocktails, live entertainment and a "grand dinner with
wine!"
The object of this high brow hijinx? The Pacific International
Piano Competition, the annual version of "piano wars" put on by local

impressarios Kerri and Forrest

The event has generated excitement on the national keyboard
scene, and the $100 includes

of the early '86 social scene, so, send

ments now in use. There will be a
choice of 4-bedroom or 6-bedroom
units. In addition to single
bedrooms, each apartment will have
living room, bath, and kitchen.
The Board of Trustees also approved the requested nine percent
rent increase for present housing effective Fall 1986, but this increase
will not be used to underwrite any
part of the new construction.
"Housing is a self-supporting,
revenue generating operation of The
Evergreen State College and receives
no operating or capital appropriations from the college. We have to
pay our way," Chandler stated.
Increased costs - electricity, up 13
percent; utility and sewer, up 15 percent; insurance, up 300 percent -mandate a rate increase. "We ran at
a deficit last year and will do so
again this year," she said. "To keep
costs down we will make substantial
cuts in salaries, won't fill some positions, and will be hiring fewer
students.
"There will also have to be cuts
in the level of capital projects, such
as replacing carpeting, painting,
things of that nature, that we ordinarily do in the summer," she
'added.

Have you heard about the
Washington Clean Indoor Air
Act? The first paragraph of that
nearly 1-year-old state law
states: "The Legislature
recognizes the increasing
evidence that tobacco smoke in
closely confined places may
create a danger to the health of
some citizens of this state. In
order to protect the health and
welfare of those citizens, it is
necessary to prohibit smoking in
public places except in areas
designated as smoking areas."
The law also states that "a
facility or area may be
designated in its entirety as a
nonsmoking area by the owner
or other person in charge."
An article in last week's CPJ
describes an Evergreen Disappearing Task Force (DTF)
formed by Vice President Sue
Washburn to determine a fair
and reasonable way to bring the
college into compliance with the
Washington Clean Indoor Air
Act. The DTF is charged to: 1)
Determine specific public areas
(if any) within campus facilities
where smoking is to be allowed,
and 2) If there are to be any,
develop a campus-wide campaign to generate awareness and
support for any new policies.
Members of the Smoking
DTF are very interested in hearing the opinions of all concerned campus community members

on this issue. Specifically, the
DTF members are requesting
that the Evergreen community
respond to the following two
questions:

1) Is there anything you want
the DTF to consider in determining whether or not there will
be any designated smoking
areas on Evergreen's campus?
2) If there are going to be
designated smoking areas,
where do you think they should
be? Please consider possible
locations in all the main campus
buildings: CAB, Library, Communications,
Recreation
Center, Seminar, Lecture Halls,
and LABS I & II.
The deadline for submitting
responses is March 3, 1986.
Please leave written responses at
the CAB Information Center or
mail it to CAB 305. Anyone
wishing to attend any Smoking
DTF meetings are invited to
LIB 3121 from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
any Tuesday for the remainder
of winter quarter. Thanks for
your help on this important
issue.

Carolyn Bentler, Nina Davis,
Michael Hall, Michael Holden,
Meg Hunt, Mary Nelson, Karen
Rawnsley, Michael Strauss,
Bronwyn Thomas-Lincoln, Ron
Wilkinson, and Chairperson
Larry Stenberg.

Opinion:

Smoking issue considered
by Robert S. Balch
If cigarette smokers are allowed to
smoke in public places, this will
allow clouds of noxious and harmful smoke to distribute throughout
the entire area. Non-smokers who
wish to enjoy, or do business in an
area filled with cigarette smoke will
be compelled (most likely against
their wishes) to inhale this smoke in
the process of consuming Oxygen.
Research has proven that
breathing cigarette smoke, even in
the case of not being a smoker, has
hazardous effects upon the life and
breath of the involved subject. Thus,
non-smokers may be forced to risk
their health against their will.
It is a matter of personal freedom,
and civil rights, that people should
be able to go about their daily
business without risking their lives.
It is only reasonable to assume that
it is only worthwhile to risk your life
and breath if the cause is sufficient
to provide an overwhelming benefit
for society as a whole.
Allowing cigarette smoking in

public places benefits only the
smoker as an individual. It is a proven fact that there is a considerably
larger group of non-smokers than
smokers. Allowing cigarette smoking in public places benefits a
minqrity of people, this does not imply to me that it serves as an overwhelming benefit to society.

Cigarette smoking should not
be allowed in
public places.
A simple conclusion can be
drawn: Since cigarette smoking is
harmful to the health of all exposed
persons (not only the smoker) - and
the minority of people are smokers,
then to benefit the majority of the
people, cigarette smoking should not
be allowed in public places.

Recruiting minorites
by Kim Craven
This Saturday, February 22, the
Third World Coalition and the Admissions Office will co-sponsor a
day long event in an effort to attract
minority students to Evergreen and
strengthen the committment made to
a strong multicultural learning environment at TESC.
According to Diane Kahaumia,
Coordinator or Minority Recruitment, minority students often don't
get the information they need
through traditional ways. The
Preview Day was designed to
familiarize students with the college,

and encourage them to attend, she
said.
Activities planned Include tours
with Third World Evergreen
students, workshops to answer questions, and a lunch with speakers.
President Joe Olander will welcome
the 60 expected visitors, some who
will be accompanied by their parents
and families. Yvonne Peterson, a
faculty member of the Native
American Studies program, will give
a keynote address during lunch.
Additional volunteers are needed
to help with the event. For additional information, or to volunteer,
contact Diane Kahaumia at x6170.

THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL

Singer Thorn Workman exercises oral tradition
by Bret Lunsford
"When black people came to this
country as slaves, they relied on the
oral tradition because they couldn't
really be free with their speech or
open with their ideas. They would
tell stories, and within the stories
would be little hints and meanings
for other black people to pick up
on," says student Thorn Workman.
These stories within stories still play
an important role in the transmission
of information, he says. He says he
uses the oral tradition to connect
African storytellers, or griots, with
black civil rights activists and
rastafarians.
'"Griot's Song' is basically a show
that has elements of theater, but is
also based on historical characters
'from black history," says
Workman, who has been an
Evergreen student for two years. "In
Africa, the traditional griot (prounounced gree'-oh) was the tribe
historian, who would relay the
history orally."
Workman will play the role of the
griot in his one-man performance of
"Griot's Song" at 7 p.m. on Friday,

February 28 in the Recital Hall here.
He will portray four different griots
from different eras in black history.
"More or less, each character is a
collage of other people," he says.
Each portrayal blends together the
music and social-political situation
of each era. Each traces the role of
the oral tradition in black history, he
says.
Even after slavery days, he says,
people still relied on the oral tradition for information, both because
not everybody was literate and as a
way of keeping "dangerous"
political
ideas
somewhat
underground. Much of the griot
tradition remained alive in the churches, says Workman. "Even today,
with civil rights, the base has been
the church. The people blend
spiritual and oral and they get it all
together and that's where Martin
Luther King's testing ground was,"
he says.
The final character portrayed in
"Griot's Song" is a rastafarian
street poet, "Jah Nee B. Khool,"
who is willing to speak on the things
in society that he doesn't like.

Workman says that people listening
to KhooPs story "will find that it's
about coming together and being
strong and loving one another and
building a new world. That was
Martin Luther King's dream and
that was Bob Marley's dream."
Workman began his theatrical
career in Washington, D.C. where
he studied voice, dance, acting and
mime techniques at the Theater
School, the Kennedy Center and
American University. In addition to
performing for the general public, he
has also worked with street theater,
performed in prisons, and taught acting to disadvantaged youths. Most
recently he's been touring with
Children's Theater Northwest and
working on "Griot's Song."
"A lot of people who were based
in the oral tradition had things to say
that are very enlightening," says
Workman, "but you have to take
time to listen. If people come out to
see the show, it's not me talking, it's
other black ancestors and souls. The
stories are true, people just have to
pass it on, and the only way is by
talking and singing."

Levin presents slideshow
by Margaret Livingston
In the United States, we decry the
violence which is daily TV fare for
many children. The drawings now
on display in the library's Gallery
21/2 (across from Media Loan) depict
violence. Not images derived from
TV. Violence that is a part of the
lives of these children of Guatemala.
Janet Spritzler Levin, creator of
"Guatemalan Guenica, Children of
War," presented a lecture and slide

show February 14, in LH 1. She
came to tell more about the project
and her reason for collecting the
drawings. The original intent was to
do a book of children's drawings. "I
knew children, I knew drawings, I
knew Guatemala, and thought this
was the way I could help," Levin
said. "After I had the drawings, I
felt there should be a way to reach
more people than just publishing a
book," she added.
She visited Mexico at the invita-

tion of Bishop Samual Ruiz whose
diocese includes a refugee camp. She
tells of this visit: "Over a series of
days in March, 1985, 150
Guatemalen children age 7 to 14 of
San Caralampio Refugee Camp,
located in Mexico, drew pictures that
tell a story which shouldn't be
known to them, yet is theirs. The
memories of fear and flight speak as
only children can, with power born
of innocence.
"The drawings are a stark
testimony. Of several hundred, only 20 are not violent. Few omit the
bombing helicopters, the. soldiers
shooting."
An announcer for KIRO-TV,
which had featured the drawings in
a four-minute video, stated: "The
drawings are simple and honest; the
tales they tell are nightmares."
"The response to the drawings has
been incredible," Levin said,
"Everyone who has seen them has
offered suggestions of people to see
or has wanted to do something with
them." Besides being displayed in
Seattle and here at Evergreen,
Mother Jones and Harper's
magazines have published some of
the drawings and she has sent slides
to the United Nations Pavillion at
Expo '86. The exhibit is being
prepared to be sent to other cities in
the United States, especially those interested in Sanctuary.
"I am very irreverant and a
cynic," she said, "but I find I'm
having to change my mind about
people in general. There are an awful
lot of people who will act on what
their beliefs are."

Olander accepts governance DTF's proposal
by Joseph G. Follansbee
President Olander last week accepted the Governance Disappearing
Task Force's final proposal for the
ition of an Advisory Board to the
president of the college.
"The recommendations are well
within the bounds of a workable
solution to the problem of ensuring
greater involvement of the campus
community in its decision-making
process on this campus," he says.
Once organized, the board will
make recommendations to the president about policy matters concerning the campus community as a
whole, reads the final report. The

Advisory Board will also recommend action when a policy causes,
or may cause, a conflict between
campus constituencies, who are
defined by the report as students,
staff, and faculty. The board will
not make policy or issue rulings.
All three constituencies will each
be represented by three persons,
reads the report. An additional student, staff member, and faculty
member will sit on the board as atlarge members. The president will
serve on the board ex officio.
Each member of the Advisory
Board, except the president, will
hold a seat for a one year, three
times renewable term, the term of

754-0357

205 E. 4th

office beginning on the first day of
spring quarter each year, according
to the report. The president's term
will coincide with his tenure as chief
executive of the college.
Accordirig to the report, all deci- '•
sions will be made by consensus; in
the event of no consensus, minority
reports will be circulated.
The Advisory Board will have
three basic options in dealing with
inter-constituency policy conflicts,
reads the report. First, the conflict
may be resolved "in house," that is,
within a particular constituency. Second, the Board may mediate between the conflicting constituencies.
And third, the Advisory Board may

study that problem formally and
make recommendations for action to
the president.
Board members will meet regularly with their respective constituencies
through their constituency's governance body. The report also requests
funds be allocated for a professional
clerical position for the Advisory
Board. The report further reads that
the board will design a process for
regular evaluation of its record with
the first evaluation to take place at
the end of spring quarter this year.
According to the president's office, students interested in serving on
the board should contact Gail Mar-

tin, Vice President for Student Affairs. Faculty should contact Don
Finkle, faculty chair, and interested
staff should call Sue Washburn,
Vice-President for Development/
Administrative Services.
In a memo to the members of the
DTP, President Olander noted that
the recommendations were not met
with unanimous endorsement wihtin
the DTP. He said he hopes that
when the Advisory Board begins its
work, problems can be worked out.
"It is my intention at this time to
live within the recommendations of
the DTP as they have been presented
to me," he says.

Trustee
Board rep
enthusiastic
To all Evergren students,
It is with great delight and optimism that I begin my term as your
representative to the Board of
Trustees. It is my intention to serve
your needs, through advising the
board, to the best of my ability.
As you may already by aware, the
Board of Trustees is Evergreen's
governing body in the most literal
sense. The board, whose members
are appointed by the governor, is
responsible for insuring that
Evergreen operates effectively; seeing that the needs of the community are" met. Having sat at my first
Board meeting on February 12, I
became quite impressed by what 1
felt to be a deep running concern of
the Board members to service student needs. They seem to be very
open-and receptive to student input.
The nature of my position and the
impact that it has to determine
change and progress is kept alive and
served well only to the extent that I
receive input from you, the student.
Without input I would continue to
serve as your representative, but only
with the opinions of myself. I
seriously doubt that my,opinions
could consistently represent those
opinions of the entire student body.
For this reason I am stressing your
involvement in the decision making
process by letting your voice be
heard. So I ask that you consider this
letter an open invitation to contact
me when you have a concern and/or
opinion that you wish to be
represented.
As I receive the agenda for upcoming Board sessions, (held on the
second Wednesday of each month),
I will be submitting letters to the
CPJ to inform you of upcoming
issues and their ramifications.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Sam Segall,
Student Representative to the
Board of Trustees

Academic
suggestions
are needed
Dear Evergreen:
Spring quarter will bring the faculty's yearly retreat. At that retreat
they will plan the 1987-88 curriculum. It is a good idea to plan the
curriculum in advance, but students
should have a chance to give input
to the faculty and deans before the
retreat. This way, the faculty will
know what the students want to
study.

What is needed is a set of three
open meetings: The first with the
deans, the second with the^conveners
of each specialty area, and the third
an open meeting with the faculty.
This would do the job of getting student input.
So when students go to the
academic fair next spring to shop for
programs, at least the students will
know that someone asked them what
they wanted to study.
Sincerely,
Brian Hank Seidman

Education
gives choice
Dear Evergreen:
Carol Sasaki, founder and executive director of SAVE-HOME, is
truly an inspiration, a source of
courage, and an example of the
fruits of persistence and hard work
for those in our society who see few
opportunities to escape the poverty
of their existence - poverty of spirit
as well as body and social
circumstances.
Carol, through her own experience of coming to know others
on welfare, recognized that she was
not "the exception," there were
others as intelligent, creative, and
resourceful as she. Her efforts to
convince others of their own elusive
potential have been amply rewarded with the entrance into college and
successful performance of students
who have dared to challenge the
stereotypes associated with poverty
and welfare.
Poverty is not so often a choice
made by an individual but is a niche
shaped by the circumstances and
events of one's personal, familial,
ethnic, and social history. People
who are poor or on welfare are there
because, as individuals, they are
unaware of alternatives, do not
know certain opportunities exist, feel
incapable of achieving goals that are
perceived as reserved for persons of
greater ability and a certain level of
financial income. The programs
which have evolved in this society,
no matter how well intentioned, tend
to reinforce the stigma of poverty
and to restrict the avenues of individual growth and development.
Carol Sasaki will be at Evergreen
on Friday, check the CPJ notebook.

Submit
poets,
submit!
To the Editor:
This is an open letter to ALL
EVERGREEN POETS.
In last week's edition of the CPJ
(13 February 1986), poetry editor
Paul Pope complained of the lack of
quality submissions to the weekly
poetry page. He attributed this lack
of input to the "common notion that
a bad reputation has haunted it for
years."
My feeling is that the quality (and
therefore reputation) of a publicaton
rests on the quality of its submissions
and the earnestness of its contributors. To withold our good
words from the school that nurtures
them, and reserve them for more
glamorous publications, encourages
an elitism I find very contrary to
Evergreen's stated ideals.
In other words, the CP/'s poetry
page is exactly what we make it: it's
an opportunity to share our unique
visions with the people around us,
and communicate our ideas in a
special way.
Suddenly, "a sense of wonder" is
just a horrible slogan, stamped in
red ink on Evergreen mailers. Please
restore the true, original sense of
wonder to our community; submit
to the poetry page, or attend the advisory forum.
Sincerely,
Steve Blakeslee

Smoking
coverage •**•*
was unfair
Dear Editor CPJ:
So the smoking issue blazes into
reality at Evergreen. We get a nice
little article in the CPJ. Four
smokers pictures to one non-smoker.
Strange, I thought non-smokers
were in the majority. I'd be interested to know if the author of the
article smokes.
David Sawyer says bigger issues
deserve all of our attention. If
smokers can't respect the rights of
people to good health on a local
level, it seems that larger issues on a
global level would get the same
respect.

Pete Staddler doesn't want a law
restricting smoking, but a thousand
times a day, smokers at Evergreen
show they have no intention of
voluntarily respecting others' rights
to clean air. Smokers do have a right
to their dependencies, but not at
other's expense.
I appreciate Faye Vaughn's view,
but Faye and Michele Griffin share
an attitude problem. They see nonsmokers as being annoyed and irritated. We are considering a serious
health hazard here, not simple annoyances and irritations.
And now we get to our lonely majority rep, Christopher Koller. At
least non-smokers get a token word
in. I suppose it is significant that he
was first.
I guess I just don't understand
why a few suicidal types get to determine the air quality of the majority. Maybe we should change our
school name to Eversmoke. After
all, there isn't even one building on
this campus where you can go and
breathe really fresh air. Any smoke
in any building eventually permeates
the air throughout, in spite of air
conditioning.
Sincerely,
Al Barney
I want to breathe clean air.

New forums
join the
block
To CPJ,
There's a new, improved, genuine
forum on the bloc. It's the COMMUNITY FORUM. It happens
Tuesdays at noon, CAB lobby.

discussion.
Then there's the STUDENT
MEETING. Wednesdays, 9 a.m. to
11 a.m., .second floor LIB 2220. Integrated with the Community
Forum. Oriented toward planning
cooperative efforts, like the NETWORK. What network? Come and
find out.
And Thursdays at noon, bring
your lunch to Information for Action's office. That's for the
STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS MEETING. Consultation and
troubleshooting to ensure that
students are heard.
For the agendas each week, contact I FA at x6008.

Tyler
responds to
criticism
Editor,
Gary Wessels' suggestion that I
am disrespectful of native
Americans is wide of the mark. He
says that Thomas Banyaca deserves
better praise than I give him in my
poem "The Prophecies of Thomas
Banyaca, Hopi Elder" and questions
if I was even listening to Mr.
Banyaca. Yes, Gary, I was and if
you think I did poorly then I suggest
you do better and use your energy
for something more constructive
than bitching.
I don't claim to be a great poet,
but I do claim the capability of being sincere. I also claim as part of
my human heritage, a sense of
humor and it is on this point that I
think I stepped on a sensitive toe.
Gary found a particular passage
in a satire I wrote some time ago to
be offensive to Indians due to
use of a "blatant stereotype." If
Gary would re-read the passage he
would probably find an admissible
argument that it is primarily a
stereotype of Greeners, not Indians.
The satire also takes pot-shots at
business, the CPJ, the free press, the
S&A Board, the college president,
the indigent, the geoduck, and the
authors themselves.
I believe that a sense of humor is
one of humankind's saving graces
and that by focusing on one aspect
of a piece, out of context, Gary is
possibly being disrespectful to the
Muse of Comedy.
You can criticize my poetry or my
judgement if you will, Gary, but I
suggest you get to know me better
before you make loose accusations
about my sincerity in matters sacred
or mundane.

The Ritual Rama is a walk
through, hands-on experience, much
like a museum tour. It is designed to

firmation and Sacrement.
Ritual Rama is meant to affect
people on at least three different
levels. Educationally, so people who
are curious about bringing ritual into their lives but have no idea how,
can get some ideas. On the level of
healing; Ritual Rama will provide
the structure necessary for connecting you with your dreams and the
means to begin manifesting them.
The third level is one of irony. Ritual
Rama is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on life in the late 20th century.
A life that threatens to become so
automated that even our spirituality has been reduced to preordained
formulas.
In order to have a more complete
experience (but by no means
necessary) I ask that you bring the
following: Food from the land, to
offer in the Sacremental Room of
the ritual (fruit or nuts would be
perfect). A rock, crystal, feather or
other small, special object that can
act as a witness to your experience
and help you reconnect with the feelings you touch upon in the Ritual
Rama at a later time. Any donations
I receive will be sent to the people
at Big Mountain.
Thank-you.
The Ritual Rama: Do-It-Yourself
Ritual Center will be open from 9

February 27, in the attic of the Lecture Hall Rotunda. Allow approximately 30 minutes for the tour.

Dangerous
cult at
Evergreen
Dear Readers of the CPJ,
I am writing you in order to voice
my opinion on a certain fanatical
religious cult on campus known as
N.S.A. or Nichiren Shoshu of
America.
I believe that everyone should be
made aware of the recruitment
techniques employed by this group,
as they put the evangelical movement in this country to shame.
The basic philosophical tenet of
N.S.A. is that through performing
their three ways of practice — chanting, studying, and door to door
salesmanship -- one can become an
enlightened person.
Now, all this seems very
reasonable at the onset, as every orthodox religion contains these
elements to some degree. However,
there is a peculiar vortex thinking in
the N.S.A. dogma which subtly
undermines one's ability to trust
one's own decision-making process.
The emphasis is not in getting in
touch with the self, but in staying
continually distracted from the self,
through an exhausting routine of
many hours devoted to chanting,
group meetings, national conventions, and international pilgrimages.
As you might have guessed by
now, there are N.S.A. activities

every day of the week, plus weekend
commitments. The end result of all
this involvement is that the N.S.A.
people become one's only support
system and social context.
This isolation from former friends
and close relationships creates the
ideal environment for the sense of
fanaticism which this group must
cultivate in order to sustain its
membership.
It is my opinion that this road to
Nirvana is a dangerous detour which
should be recognized and avoided.
Thank you.
Catherine Slagle

And that's
the way it is
Dear Folks;
Well, I guess I could sit back
awhile longer and let this stuff pile
up even deeper. Knee deep ain't too
bad, but it's rising fast and I don't
want to end up swimming in it. Let
me try and shovel some out the
door.
Nancy Koppelman's February 6
letter was way off the mark. I never
said what she let on I said. And'^he
never'said anything about what I
really said. Enough said.
v< '
Amanda Goldberg's February 13
article wasn't so bad. Three little
problems, though.

First, about not hearing protests
earlier — Amanda, was it my fault
you weren't listening?
Second, why copy Koppelman?
Don't misrepresent my position on
representation. I know how Congress works - I don't want any part
of it.
Third, you assume your fatalistic
view of governance is reality. You
say "we are grappling for roles in a
preconceived system." Maybe you
are. We aren't. We're working
together to reconceive the system
(Who's we? We're the ones who
know there's blue sky coming after
the rain.).
Well, that's enough shoveling for
now. Cut it down by at least a foot,
I guess. Threw it out into the garden.
Thanks for all the fertilizer.

New dorms
are not
doomsday.
To the Editor:
I respect Kristin Jagelski's right to
her opinion on the proposed new
dorms; Still...Yes, I agree Mod living is great. But walking past new
dorms will hardly ruin my life. The
path to Modland is pastoral, but it's
no Walden. And if she doesn't want
mandatory food service, she doesn't
have to live there.

Also, the housing rent increase
would happen with or without new
dorms. The fire alarm system,
recently installed for our safety, was
expensive. And like any selfsufficient organization, housing
should have solvency as its goal —
why should not "even a cent of our
Mod rent...pay to help housing
become solvent"
Incredibly, Kristin says "Do we
want these buildings, and the type of
people who would want to inhabit
them...infringing
on
our
spaciousness?" I say - YES! Just
what kind of mutants does she think
these dorms would attract — lepers?
Communists? This kind of
thoughtless hate-bating is distressing
to see at Evergreen. With rents in
Olympia skyrocketing, low-rent
housing is being replaced by condos,
boutiques, and gourmet cookie
shops all over town. If Kristin wants
a housing issue to get involved in,
how about this one - the decreasing
availability of affordable offcampus housing is the main reason
new on-campus housing is even
needed!
Finally, what with wild parties,
destruction of property, and obnoxious neighbors screaming, setting off
fire-crackers, and squealing motorcycles on the sidewalks almost every
night, Modland is hardly the
Shangri-La she portrays it to be.
The issue boils down to available,
affordable housing, not offended
middle-class aesthetics.

What would.be the ideal program at Evergreenfor. you?

Scott Saunders: A class that would
explore what TESC is all about.
People need an introduction to
Evergreen that would help bridge the
gap between our competitive society and the experimental interdisciplinary nature of Evergreen.
Also, I think some type of program
that would help relieve some of the
anxiety felt when graduating and reentering the society "out there."

Lucy Jackson: It would integrate
what I want to learn about myself
with what I want to learn about the
world so that I can figure out where
we and the world are going and if we
are going together.

Bruce Donohue: I am studying in the
field of biology and there is already
the perfect program called Ornithology that is offered every other
spring. It's an incredibly intense program focused on field study of birds.
It is great.

Mark Lewin: My ideal program
would put a lot of emphasis on people learning how to work together.
They would learn to cooperate when
developing ideas and how to communicate these ideas effectively and
how to really make them happen. I
think this can and should be incorporated into every program at
Evergreen.

Andris Wollam: Probably the ideal
program for me would be a coordinated study of 40 people or so that
worked together producing the CPJ
or another publication. The publication would be inherently more
organized and supported by both
students and faculty and it would
meet my educational desires and
needs as well.

Competition for dry sports space heats up as
Pavillion faces athletic overcrowding problems
by Jacob \Veisman
Competition for space for athletic
activities during winter at Evergreen
has led to conflicts which some
students say has brought about
dangerous conditions. Sports move
indoors, into the pavilion or the
steam plant.
Four foot high wooden walls now
enclose the perimeter of the pavilion

for its use as an indoor soccer field.
"The walls take about a half an hour
to move," says tennis player Ben
Chotzen. "It was too much of a hassle to take them out and then put
then back later. You sort of get used to them, though. But it still makes
it hard to practice with the walls being so close to the baseline," he says.
The overcrowding of the pavilion
appears to have hit basketball

players the hardest of all. "I feel that
we definitely need another space to
play in" says Myron Partman. "The
basketball players get shoved out.
We're the last priority. And in some
ways that's fair because we don't
have a team. We were playing ball
almost every night before tennis
moved inside and indoor soccer
started," he says.
None of the indoor soccer teams

Nation's best to swim here
by Bob Reed
A host of the country's best NAIA
(National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) swimmers will
converge at The Evergreen State
College this Thursday thru Saturday, February 20-22, for the District
1 championships.
Last year's national high point
winner Stan Vela will be leading the
strong Central Washington University men's team. Central was second
at nationals last year and is a favorite
to win the title this year. Teammate
and national record holder John
Bryant will be the person to watch
in the 100 and 200 yard breast stroke
events.
The women's side of the meet promises to be a real thriller. Teams
competing include last year's national champion Simon Fraser,
runner-up Central and fourth place

Pacific Lutheran University (PLU).
Simon Eraser's Barbara Graham is
the national record holder in the 500
yard freestyle (5:04.63) and PLU's
Kerri Butcher has the record in the
100 yard butterfly (57.42).
Evergreen will host its own contingent of strong swimmers. The
men's team, coming off a season's
best meet record of 6-2, is hoping to
qualify the 400 yard freestyle relay
team of Robert Bruns, Casey Pratt,
Burke Anderson and Pieter Drummond for the national meet. The
relay team is four seconds over the
qualifying standard.
Returning team captain Max
Gilpin will be swimming two breast
stroke events and the 400 individual
medley. Diver J.R. Baldwin will be
competing in the one and three meter
events, although he has already
qualified for the national meet,

which will be at Whitworth College,
in Spokane, March 6-8.
The Geoduck women will be led
by diver Erica Pickell, who has also
qualified for the national meet.
Evergreen is hoping to get strong
performances from Martha Grazier,
Tawny Young, Ann Remsberg and
Shawn Blaisdell in the 200 yard
freestyle relay.
As a result of a gift from
McDonald's Corporation of
Western Washington, the meet is going to be filmed by a group of
Evergreen students as part of an
academic experience.
On all three days, preliminaries
will run from 10 a.m.-1:30 p.m. and
finals from 6-9 p.m. Diving will go
from 1:30-3 p.m. on Thursday and
Friday. The public is invited to
come. Admission will be free for the
morning and afternoon sessions and
$1 for the evening finals.

that play in the pavilion contain only Evergreen players. The other participants come from the Southwest
Washington Soccer Association and
the outlying Olympia area. The
recreational center sponsors four
leagues in the pavilion. Recreation
officials estimate that about 60
Evergreen students participate in
three of those leagues.
"Evergreen has tried to promote
the school and the athletic department and they've done a very good
job of it, mainly through the soccer
programs," says soccer player Rob
Becker. "Since there is now a
substantial number of athletes requiring space, the department needs
to start providing the adequate
facilities for some of the other
sports. The problem, otherwise, is
only going to get worse," he says.
The soccer leagues were expanded
this year, Recreation Co-ordinator
Corey Meador says. "It was done,
regrettably, without much consideration for student use. The student access is definitely getting curtailed," Meador says.
"The pavilion is not the worst
facility," says Chotzen. "The tennis
teams we play only have regular
wooden gyms to play in if it rains.
The balls don't grab the court and
there's very little traction. We
definitely have a problem at
Evergreen, but it's not as bad as
some other schools," he'says.
Volleyball is by far the most
neglected sport, says student David
Zook. "We had to play in the steam
plant," he says. "The floor was

Opinion:

Dinner theater studies
a few societal problems
by Tracey Renee Stefan
On February 13, the Power of
Theatre program presented "While
Someone Else is Eating" a dinner
theater including feminist, chicano,
and erotic performances by class
members.
The show was a truly imaginative,
vital series of original and classical
performances which utilized audio
and video as well as costume and
props. The seriousness of the issues
in the array of presentations was
blanketed with much humor.
The dinner theater experience was,
to say the least, a very sensual one.
The sight of my fellow classmates
and this collosal project they had
taken upon themselves was exciting.
Turkey carnage everywhere, drippings of grease and gravy on the
counters, Hefty bags filled with diced vegies and a few stray cans of pop
made me wonder whose idea this
was to begin with.
The meal was beautifully executed
and reaffirmed the oft-thought idea
that true works of art are a product
of chaos.
Out of the kitchen, onto the stage.
The performers didn't fritter their
time eating. While the audience was
eating, they clamored quickly to the
narrow hallway littered with props
and paper bags to prepare their
pieces.
The show began with improvisation by part of the class who would

act out suggestions from the audience as to a person, place or food.
The performers hilariously emulated
a banana smoothie, a sausage factory and popcorn popping.
The first rehearsed piece,
"Satisfaction," showed stereotypical
physical types of modern women,
e.g., the myth of the perfect 10, and
how women today feel pressured by
our culture's media to be "Suzie
Pencil Stick" and the frustrations
thereof. The piece was simple, funny and meaningful.
Intermittently between performances, Sarah Rose sang three
songs, alone, on a bare stage without
musical accompaniment of any kind.
Tory Babbit and Libby Wood
gave an electric performance of an
original piece that they wrote and
choreographed called "For the Love
of Norm." It was an absurdist piece
that dazzled the senses with dance,
improvisation, dialogue, and
musical scores such as the James
Bond Theme, and Laurie Anderson.
"City Planner", dealt with the
commercial ideal of the perfect city
as actor Ty Bass narrated video
footage of scenes of people and
buildings in Olympia. Some audience members were amused to see
themselves on video in their daily activities in downtown Olympia. ,
The next piece, "The Applicant,"
concerned the degree of conformity
we often find ourselves confronted
with when we go for a job interview.

Performing a "banana smoothie."
We have to try to "look the part"
which can be humiliating. This sense
of alienation and subjection was
conveyed humorously by Barbara
Hinchcliffe and Christopher Tolfree.
"Black Mass," as the name
precludes, was of a more serious
tone, though its dialogue and
characters were comic. This classic
piece portrayed a scene in a church
in South Africa. The characters were
perverse in their comedy as they
"humorously" showed the

photo by Jennifer Lewis

obliviousness of a sensibility that
condones racism and massacre,
equating war to a mere physical
game, such as football. The work
showed the idol worship of the
church and the hollow pretense of its
rituals. It left one with a bitter,
nauseated feeling.
The final piece, "Interruptions,"
concerned the roles of women and
the repression of homosexuality.
This piece corrolated Hitler's indictment of the Jews with the refusal by

certain key officials on Capitol Hill
to pass the Gay Bill of Rights. The
piece reminded us of the implications of the refusal of the GBR for
the third year in a row, and that
toleration of this degree of social
control effects all people because its
extreme is genocide.
The show in its entirety left me
with a lot to think about, as well as
a good time and a full belly. I hope
that if you did not catch this show,
you will try to catch the next one
Spring quarter!

Cartoonist Lynda Barry frees self from guilt
by Catherine Commerford
Cartoonist Lynda Barry was here
to show and tell students in the program "Hard Country" that books
"Boys and Girls" and "Big Ideas"
have led to "Everything in the
World" (soon to be published by
Harper and Row).
She's an artist who makes money
by making funny comics. She gives
people the stories they want to hear.
Over 25 newspapers syndicate her
work. And she's got a contract with
"Esquire," so people ask if she's
selling out.
At 30, Barry may be selling out,
but she appears to be getting things
her way while making people smile,
so it can't be all that bad.
Barry graduated from Evergreen
in 1978 and says she's having fun.
The Wednesday, February 12
discussion for the "Hard Country"

program was mixed with a slideshow
of places she has seen, drawings,
paintings, and some cartoon
reading.
Her drawing style is wired, as if
there's an electric current going
through it. She makes people laugh
with her talk about doughnuts,
polyester, Cheetos, dating, greeting
cards, dogs, zits, and assorted other
stuff related to American life. No
idea is too small. This was mentioned along with working with an idea
in series, and the importance of
knowing when to quit and move on
to something else.
Working in series on anything that
is of interest to an artist is one of the
things she stressed while showing
slides from "Naked Ladies." This
color book was started by an interest
in playing cards and a curiosity
about women's body types. They're

not romantic, but graphic depictions
intended to be color filled. This
series is bold, has hard edges, and
a few surprises.
As a student at Evergreen, Barry
said she concentrated on being a
politically correct Bohemian living in
downtown Olympia with very little
money. She would read mystical
meanings into things that really turned out to be no big deal; things can
turn out all right anyway, she said.
Now she talks about being free to
do whatever she wants. Some of the
latest slides depict paintings mixed
with research related to anatomy and
humor. There are some portraits, sequins, ground glass on shellac, latex
over ground glass over Elmer's glue
oils, more latex, cutouts.
Lynda Barry shows and tells that
she can use what's around, and
make something from it.

SEMINAR
We sit on our plush couches,
Smoking cigarettes, drinking politically correct coffee,
While we argue about nature and natural surroundings.
Polyester slacks, change jingling in his pockets says,
Man is nature,
All of man's actions are natural.
The wool pants natural blonde waves her fist at the sky in anger,
And raves against man's destruction of the trees,
As she snuffs out a Marlboro Light in the aluminum ash tray.
The dyed hair of the punker falls under the weight of his hairspray,
While he sleeps on his tatooed arm and drools.
We read in the carpeted library and watch the clock.
Wool pants hops in her V.W. with the blue jean seat covers,
And heads home to light the wood stove.
Polyester slacks walks to his dorm room and turns up the heat.
They don't understand each other,
As they both lie down at ten for bed,
And pull covers around cold shoulders.

Smoking on porch only sign hangs above the stoned wheat crackers,
All natural chocolate, seven-fifty a pound,
Croissants, herb tea, and patchouly oil aroma,
Flows past my tobacco and beer reeking sweater.
