The artist set up the sculptures
where people entering the CAB from

the papier-mache figures was set
sprawled on the floor with a cardboard knife stuck into its bleeding
back. The other figure stood looking at the first, hands in pockets.
Both figures were life-size, and
clothed in jeans, dress shirts, and
shoes. In the front of the composi·

said. She said her son had never been
unhappy, but she feels that his experience could be much more rewarding if the management 'was more efficient and creative.
Corbit feels that the temporary
afternoon teacher, Linda Lorentson,
since replaced, made a noticeable
change in the curriculum and
organization of children. "Last year
Jordan brought home two or three
paintings," she said. "This year it's
two or three art projects a week."
A permanent afternoon teacher,
Laura Olson, was recently hired, and
parents feel that it is too soon to
comment on her performance.
"In the mornings, when it's
Virginia's turn to teach, there is free
play and little else," Corbit said.

Is our S&A funded daycare a
quality one?
Driftwood's administration has
been hit by at least two petitions and
numerous parental complaints. Administrators at Driftwood and
Evergreen insist that Driftwood is
improving, but some feel that the
change is neither fast nor comprehensive enough to make Driftwood a quality daycare. Despite
these conflicts, Driftwood has
staunch supporters .
There are presently 31 children
enrolled at Driftwood. Of 13 parents
interviewed this quarter, eight were
satisfied, one dissatisfied, and three
so unhappy about the care their
children received that they would
switch daycares if they could afford
to.
Many Driftwood parents work at
Driftwood four hours a month to
qualify for a reduced fee, and
therefore have firsthand knowledge
of proceedings.
Andrea Gardner, mother of a four
year old, said, "The older kids just
run the show. There is no control at
all. Kids shouldn't be 'controlled;'
but they can't run rampant either."
In her opinion, the younger ones got
"left in the wake" of the older ones.
"They go there, hang out all day,
and that's all," she said. "I f they
want to let the kids do what they
want, I suppose that's OK, but they
shouldn't get paid so much . "
Gardner says that she would like
to see the older children do one ha lfhour project a day that requires
them to sit still and take their time,
not just a "five minute, slap-slap
project. "
Virginia Brian, Driftwood's director, replied, "The children do not
run wild, but are provided with a
variety of things to do." She said,
"After one project is finished, there
is some restlessness before they are
directed to another, but the staff catches such moments and interests the
child in a new activity."
"Some of the projects are really
quick, and others are labored over.
The staff and children do take
time," she said.
Another dissatisfied parent is
Judy Corbit. Her son is 4 and in his
second year at Driftwood . "You
don't start getting frustrated until
you realize that there is no cur-

According to Mike Hall, student
activities director and manager of
the CAB building, security officers
responding to a student complaint
called him at home at about II
p.m . Gary Wessels, co-coordinator
of the Northwest Indian Center, said
he called Security to inform them,
not to complain to them about the
display. Security told Hall that there
were a pair of statues of questionable nature in the CAB lobby.
Hall said security described the composition "as a graphic murder scene,
man on floor with knife in back,
blood on shirt, fully clothed, and
another man standing over him, obviously the perpetrator of the
murder."
Security officers Kirk Talmadge
and Darwin Eddy said they waited
while Hall made his decision to have
the figures removed from the CAB
lobby and put in the basement. Hall,
Gail Martin, vice president for student affairs, and some students have
called this a "personal value decision," -- not one reflecting policies
on art or political expression, but
one of sensitivity to the feelings of
the community.
The reasons for what Hall called
a "difficult and complex decis ion"
were that many people in the
Evergreen community would be offended by such a graphic depiction
of murder, especially when a student
was murdered in the building less
than two years ago (referring to Elisa
Tissot's death in the first-floor
cafeteria in Apr il 1984). Hall added
that ch ildren visitin g the CAB with
their parents might be fri ghtened by
rhe scene.
"I felt it was my responsibility to
remove it from public display in the
CAB," Hall said . "I'm totally supportive of student's rights to protest,
of individual's right to political expression, and artist's right to artistic
expression . But when it's such a
violent and sadistic vision that's being portrayed, then I think it should
be some place where people go to it,
. rather than be confronted by it in a
public space.
"There are hundreds of people on
campus who are aware of, and many
people who saw, Tissot's murdered
body just a few steps away from
where this was displayed. And I
think that in particular makes it inappropriate for public display in the
CAB."
Hall also said that the anonymity
of the artist didn't allow any
dialogue to take place, thus limiting
options for his decision on the
work's display. Hall was not informed in advance of the sculpture's installation. "If people are willing to
step out and be responsible for
political comments they make, then
it ' s easier to find ways these
statements can be made in public,"
Hall said.
He criticized the artist's action
sayi ng , "That's the kind of strategy
that terrorist organizat ions use -public visions of savage atrocity.
And I cannot be supportive of that. "
However, some students questioned whether the nature of the display
was violent enough to warrant
removal. Beth Myher, a student who
saw the composition Wednesday
night , co ntended that children sec
more grap hi c depictions of violence
on televisio n. Another st udent who
saw the original composi tion , Jeff
Tingelstad, com mented, ,,) didn't
have a strong negative impress ion ."
And Brody Smith, upon seeing a
photograph of the display, said, "I
would enjoy it. I used to draw things
like it."
Other students though, commented that the sculptures would
have bothered them. When shown a
photograph of the display, Jenny
Strauss said, "At first I'd gasp . I'd
be totally shocked and displeased
and dismayed . I'd probably start
crying, 'cause it would bring home
reality. It reminds me of all the terrorism going on . It' s shocking. I
know I'd cry."
Ben Tansey said, "I'm glad
didn't see it. It looks to me as though
it was a personal attack on someone
else, and I'm glad it was removed."
Kathi Campbell commented on
the photograph: "This is tacky . A
girl was killed here on campus. I'm
glad they took it down ."
However, other students were
more concerned about the message
the artwork portrayed, seeing its
removal as a statement about the
college's lack of support for expressive arts. Claire Carver said that
the fact that the piece of art was
taken down before people could see
it, proved the point of the piece of
art -- that Evergreen has moved
away from supporting the arts ,
toward a more conservative outlook
like other colleges and universities.
Paul Gallegos said , "I think
Evergreen is long dead. I don't think
'Evergreen' was more than an
illusion. "
Mark Levine, Exp lo ration Net work coordi na tor, said, "The fact
that th ey would take down th e artwork for being 'offensive,' is a sad
sta tement about our schoo l. And it' s
no coincidence that they're cutti ng
back o n expressive arts ."

"Dumpsite" rally draws crowd to capitol steps
by Joseph G. Follansbee
photo by James Barkshire
Dana Lyons leads in singing "Our State is a Dumpsite" at the rally on the
Capitol steps.
Katie Morse responded bluntly to
the question of what she'd do if the
U.S. Department of Energy chooses
the Hanford Nuclear Reservation as
a repository for high-level nuclear
waste.
"I'd move," she said.
Morse was one of about 15
Evergreen students who took part in
the Washington Public Interest
Research Group's rally at the state
capitol last Friday to make "Our
State is a Dumpsite" a state song.
The students were joined by the
Seatt le WashPIRG office and
members of Greenpeace. Sane, and
several state legislators.
"Dumpsite" author Dana Lyons,
dressed in a broad-brimmed hat with
a red bandana around his neck, sang
to the crowd of about 100 persons .
"Our State is a Dumpsite, Our
fate is to mutate.lWe're singing here
in Washington, the Everglowing
State!" he sang.
. The rally speakers were led off by
Representative Dean Sutherland (D)
from Vancouver, who has introduced a House Floor Resolution to incorporate "Dumpsite" into the official state songbook due for the
Washington State Centennial in
1989 . Standing with his young son
Jason, Sutherland said he sponsored
the resolution so that future generations will know people cared about
the nuclear waste issue.
Representative Jesse Wineberry,
D-Seattle, spoke on the need for
more study of the nuclear waste problem so those responsible for work-
ing with nuclear waste will understand its hazards and how best to
handle and transport it. In his rousing speaking styk reminiscent of
Jesse Jackson, he pointed out the
need for people to be concerned
about the future.
"We are tomorrow's generation,"
he said.
In a KAOS radio inter.view after
her speech, Representative Louise
Miller, R-Woodinville, said Congress and the Department of Energy
needs to be informed on how the
people feel about the nuclear waste
problem .
"They may make a political decision rather than a scientific,
technical one," she said.
John Kaiser, spokesperson for the
Olympia chapter of WashPIRG,
located on the Evergreen campus,
echoed Miller's sentiment. He said
that since DOE already owns the
Hanford Nuclear Reservation in
Eastern Washington and has been
storing low-level waste there for
years, plus the local community
of the Tri-Cities is considered
"nuclear-friendly," the choice of
Hanford as a high-level repository is
poli tically easy. Kaiser said
WashPIRG, through such strategies
as the "Our State is a Dumpsite"
song, wants to make such a choice
more politically difficult.
"I just think that of all the nuclear
hazards, nuclear waste is at the top
of the list of potential e~ronmen
tal hazards," Kaiser saio.

Gramm-Rudman effects will be
negligible on Evergreen campus
by Sharon Lee Nicholson
The Gramm-Rudman bill and
Reagan's proposed federal budget
have chilled some students' optimism for financial aid and workstudy.
Although the two issues have
created considerable confusion,
despair is unwarranted according to
Georgette Chan, director of Financial Aid at Evergreen. Chan says
funds for the 1986-87 work-study
program have been allocated and are
in place. Students needing workstudy simply must apply early according to Betty Muncton, student
employment coordinator.
Should Gramm-Rudman pass the
upcoming Supreme Court litmus
test, its effect on Evergreen's federal
work-study funding will amount to
a 3 percent reduction or five fewer
work-study positions in the 1986-87
academic year, Chan said. If pass,ed by Congress, Reagan's proposed

budget could .reduce Evergreen's
federal work-study funding by
another 22 positions in 1986-87.
As demonstrated in the media,
Reagan's budget proposal is far
from implementation. Nevertheless,
the potential for funds reduction increases the strain on students
scrambling for fewer and fewer
federal dollars.
Aside from the federally funded
work-study program, Washington
state provides work-study funds.
However, those funds fluctuate
because they depend extensively on
the vagaries of the state economy.
An offsetting advantage of state
work-study at Evergreen is that
students are bound to on-campus or
nonprofit organizations for positions. Under state criteria, students
are allowed to obtain work-study
positions off campus in the private
sector, as long as those positions are
either academically or career-related.
To qualify for state funding, such
off-campus positions must meet
state criteria that exclude religious
and political activities.
"Work Study Position Available"
signs around campus may look encouraging to a student looking for
work, but they're not job
guarantees, said Muncton. Workstudy funds vary from year to year
and throughout the year _This year ,
funds and positions are available for
students qualifying for the aid. On
the other hand, Chan said, "I am
sure a lot of students who just don't
qualify would like to have .workstudy jobs."
Qualifying for work-study is not
a simple process. Students must
complete a lengthy financial aid process. Work-study is only one of
several resources available to
students in need. Other resources include grants and guaranteed student
loans. All resources are distributed
by the Financial Aid staff to students
on a "first come, first served" and
demonstrated need basis.
"Being an on-time applicant is
crucial," said Chan. "We cannot
make any promises to students when
they apply, because we have a
limited number of dollars."
At this point in the academic year,
the aid situation is somewhat fluid.
According to Muncton, "Since
available funds vary from year to
year, not all resource funds are
available in every program."
Currently, there happen to be
funds and positions availabe for
work-study due to "recovered
funds." The term, "recovered
funds" refers to those dollars
allocated at the beginning of the
academic year that have been returned to the Financial Aid budget for
a number of reasons.
For example, students on workstudy may have transferred or simply withdrawn from school, leaving
unused work-study funds and positions that can be reassigned to other
students. Applicants for work-study
under the "recovered funds" must
complete the financial aid process
and meet the needs criteria before
assignment to a position by Financial Aid.

Correction in "software" story
The February 27,.1986 article "Evergreen student charged with software theft" falsely stated that Sergeant Larry Savage of Campus
Security took delivery of a package addressed to Dr. John Smith from
a California software company during ,Christmas holiday.
Savage said that UPS approached Campus Security because the
package bore the college's name, but Smith's residential ' address.
Security did not accept delivery because it was C.O.D., so it was
delivered to Smith that same day, Savage said . .
The staff of the Cooper Point Journal regret the error .

Male minds explored
by Nancy Harter
"A Fondness for Swords." It
can't be denied that the title itself is
enough to induce inquiry . The
presentation, which aimed at "helping women (and men) better understand the male experience," was conducted by Tom Pace, a psychotherapist, and Michael Meade, a man who
intermingles music and storytelling
quite effectively.
The February 26th workshop,
sponsored by the Men's Resource
Center, the TESC Counseling Center
and Innerplace, began with a story,
enhanced by rhythmic drumming.
The story contained a good deal of
mythology and symbolism and was
used as a take-off point for a rambling informational exchange which
led one participant to query, " When
are we going to get started with the
real thing?"
The discussion, augmented by active and assertive audience participation, dealt with men' s view of
women, the issue of mothering, sexual identification, and the ill-defined
Iransiti0n into modern manhood.
The "Fondness fo r Swords" was
presented as a battle syndro me between co mpanions in a relationship
where enjoyment is derived in
"drawi ng your own swo rd ," which
necess itates exposing "concealed
weapons" (i .e. emot ions) to the
other member . It was stressed that
emotions are difficult for men, save
for anger, and that men require a
waiting period in expressing their
feelings .
Claiming to be there "only to
cause problems," Pace and Meade
proved to be refreshing and informative. Although the audience was
at times argumentative, they
nonetheless voiced enthusiasm for a
similar workshop in the future .
"A Fondness for Swords" also induced a number of men to participate in the second workshop,
"Power, Passion, and the Changing
Male." The group explored aspects
of the male experience such as male
mythology, definition of masculinity and men in relationships.
A story was again used as a starting point, although the entire experience was, as one participant concluded, "very personal with a high
degree of shared fee ling." Personal
projection in relation to the story as
well as individual vision of position
in life were shared. A non-student
participant claimed that "this was
the best thing I've ever)Peen to at
Evergreen ...
Although th e elu sive "male
secret" was not discovered, the
wo rkshops were able to shed some
light on the male experience for both
men and women. hopefully allowi ng
for better understanding in the
future.
WashPIRG's statu's reevaluated
by Bob Baumgartner
Washington ' Public Interest
Research Group, better known as
WashPIRG, will be seeking votes to
keep the organization funded on
Evergreen's campus.
Established at Evergreen in 1983,
by student petition, WashPIRG
must win a majority vote showing
student approval every two years, to
keep its contract with the Board of
Trustees. Polling will be held next
week from Monday to Friday in the
CAB lobby and at other locations on
campus. According to WashPIRG
member Audrey Mandelbaum,
WashPIRG hopes to get 500 people
to vote.
Mandelbaum
said
that
WashPIRG is a state-wide, nonprofit, nonpartisan student group
who work on consumer and environmental issues, with chapters at
the U of W, WWU, and Evergreen .
She said WashPIRG helps students
to learn the skills to affect public
policy, offers internships and
trains students to lobby, reports for
the PIRO newsletter, and organizes
rallies and speeches.
According
to
WashPIRG
literature, the group has: J)
Prevented $7.5 billion of WPPSS
debt from raising electrical rates; 2)
Published consumer guides on banking services, long distance phone
rates, landlord/ tenant rights, and
auto repair; 3) Preserved affordable
phone service by banning mandatory
local measured service; 4) Saved consu mers $100 million per year by
blocking telephone deregulation .
Recently the group has protested
th e U.S. Department of Energy's
radioactive waste policies a nd the
proposed high le vel nuclear waste
repository at Hanford.
However. some aspects of the
organi zation are questioned -- mainly Evergreen PIRG's fund collecti ng
system. While th e U of W's registration fo rm has a place to check if you
would like [0 contribute to
WashPIRG, Evergreen's registration
fee includes a $2.50 waivable/refundable fee for WashPIRG. The back
of the registration form mentions the
WashPIRG fee this way: "All
registered students (except auditors)
are to be charged $2.50 WashPIRG
fee."
According to Student Activities
board member Brian Seidman,
many students don't know that the
fee is waivable and refundable.
"And a lot (of students) don ' t get
their money back because people are
embarassed to ask a student to
return money because they don't
want to be thought of as cheap.
WashPIRG should be getting funding like any other environmental
groups, like Audubon, by donation," Seidman said.
WashPIRG member Audrey
Mandelbaum said that WashPIRG
is required to have a representative
at registration to explain the fee, so
there should be no question about it.
WashPIRG has a refund table in the
CAB for day students, and one in
the library lobby for night students.
Students at Vancouver and Tacoma
campuses can send forms to
WashPIRG to receive their refund in
the mail. She pointed out that the fee
is refundable and waivable, giving
people the option to not support the
organization.
"The principle is that people
choose to have a fee," Mandelbaum
said. "If students want an organization where they can hire full-time
staff, where they can work on issues
regularly, where they can train them
and work on public policy skills,
they need a solid-based funding
system ...
She also said that the paid positions are necessary to hold the
organ ization together, since students
move around so much . WashPIRG
has a full-time paid exec uti ve director who coordina tes the three
chapters and builds student leader-
ship, an administrative worker who
takes care of the budget and books,
a legislative program director who
works with student lobbyists, and
one campus coordinator on each
campus. Non-students can also
become WashPIRG members by
paying $15 per year.
Another contention Seidman
makes is that there is no student
board that controls WashPIRG as
the Student Activities board oversees
other groups. "I don't think that the
objectives of the organization are
bad. But they're in a position of
total anonymity." He claims that
PIRG's are highly centralized, and
that people in Washington D_C. set
WashPIRG agendas - not local
students. "Student ' activities funds
are legitimate," he said, "because
students have control over where the
money goes."
In a phone interview, WashPIRG
student lobbyist John Kaiser said
that WashPIRG is centralized in the
way that a few people in the
organization have the best feel for
the agenda, and others go along with
that. The state board, which has
representatives from each college,
decides what direction to take as a
whole, and what issues to work on
in the legislature. The local board,
consisting of about eight students
and the campus coordinator, is in
charge of deciding what the campus
chapter will work on. Meetings are
open to everyone, so students approve every decision, he said.

student intern had founded Driftwood in 1973 and had been director
ever since. During Gillis' directorship Driftwood had more academic
support, with two cluster contracts
of interns working with Driftwood
and a higher rate of individual student interns. Driftwood also received financial support from
academics, which was drastically cut
in 1981.
Gillis said one of the main reasons
that Driftwood was closely aligned
with academics was that Carol
Spence, a faculty member trained in
early childhood education, was a
great advocate for the daycare. "She
was terrific -- one of our better supports," Gillis said. Spence has since

He said that it was difficult to attract
a really good teacher unless a fuDtime position is offered. ·He also said
that having two coordinators, an administrator and a full-time teacher,
rather than one coordinator who
functioned as both, would give
Driftwood a more rounded
philosophy. He suggested that the
administrative position be cut back
to half-time and the jobs be
reclassified and opened for
applicants.
"She [was) not a good administrator, and a very defensive
person," Sinclair said. "Maybe she
can get by certification standards,
but at some point you have to look
at the quality of administration and
leadership. That's obviously lacking," he said.
Does he think that Brian can
straighten out the problems he experienced working there and provide
excellent care? "History shows that
she can't. She uses stop-gap
measures," he said, and defined
"stop-gap" as tightening up when
the pressure was on, but sliding back
to old ways when people stopped
checking.
Brian disagreed . "I act when the
pressure is on, but I also look for
long-term solutions," she said.
"I like Virginia. But you need to
separate the quality of work from
one's personality," Sinclair said. He
added that a chronic problem with
Evergreen was an unofficial de facto tenure which protected staff that
had been at Evergreen for a long
time.
Taro Starbuck was one of the
parents who organized the 1983 petition and used Driftwood in '81 and
'82. He said that, as an educator, he
had worked in daycares all over the
country and that Driftwood "was
the worst." He said that his
daughter was unhappy and bored.
At that time, Driftwood could not
be licensed by the Department of
Social and Health Services because
it was state operated. At parental request, the DSHS inspected Driftwood and reported that if it was a
private daycare, it would not be
licensed.
Starbuck feIt that, despite his and
other parent's efforts in '83, the problem was not dealt with effectively.
"It should be a showplace for
educators, not a dumping ground,"
he said. "With radical change it
could be a beautiful experience."
Starbuck expressed hi s opinion
that Brian was not skilled in handling stressful situations. He said that
during the parent-administration
meetings in 1983, Brian became
hysterical. He also related an incident involving his 2-year-old son in
the summer of 1982. The child was
playing in an old wagon at Driftwood when his foot fell through the
floorbbards and became stuck. He
says that Brian could not figure out
how to release the child . Even
though he was in the hot sun, she left
him there . The child fainted from
the heat. When Starbuck arrived, he
quickly remedied the situation by
removing the floorboard. "She
could at least have wheeled him out
of the sun," he said.
Brian said that she remembered
the incident, but that it had not been
sunny, the child had not fainted, and
that security had released the child
in well under an hour.
In the '82-'83 school year a small
boy broke his arm at Driftwood; according to parent Charlotte Todd,
the crisis was handled very poorly.
No steps were taken to keep the boy
from going into shock, the staff did
not know the correct emergency
number, the staff could not find the
permission slips, and the other
children were not adequately supervised while the crisis was being
handled.
Brian agreed that the crisis had
been handled poorly, but said that
she was not there, and that it had
been Todd's responsibility, as an
adult in charge at the time, to see
that it was .

was not contacted, and when he/she
arrived to pick up the child, Brian
told the parent that the child was
"being theatrical and nothing was
wrong." The child continued to be
in pain, and the parent says he/she
called Brian that evening to get the
name of Driftwood's insurance. The
parent says Brian refused to release
the name, and eventually offered a
name which was false.
Brian says that she was in error to
discount the child's complaints of
pain, but that children are often hurt
in minor ways that soon pass, and
that this particular child tended to
be overdramatic. She says that the
parent was given the correct insurance information but did not
follow the directions Brian gave, and
that she did not know the name of
the company because Evergreen
took care of insurance for her.
Toni Canova was also a parent
last year and signed this summer's
petition, as well as a similar parent
petition in 1983. Her child is now in
kindergarten. She said she found
Driftwood "just satisfactory. There
was no alternative." After the 1983
petition, Canova saw a lot of improvement. It became cleaner,
licensed by the state, a hot food program was instated, and the college
became more aware of daycare, she
said.
She would like to see Driftwood
better organized. "Students there are
great, they just need more supervision, and to be allowed to be more
creative. Virginia is not the administrator she could be . Students
are losing out not having someone
they can learn from; I don't think
they get much out of Driftwood,"
she said.
Canova said that Driftwood
prepared her child well for
kindergarten . "She's doing really
well. Certain students took the time,

was a big asset. The kids loved her.

In conclusion, Canova said,
"Virginia is adequate. She's neither
March 6, 1986
Brian says that he is not.
Brian did not remember the incident, but said that although it was
inappropriate to expect an in person
to provide child care, it must have
been the only alternative. She said
that Roraback "quit because she was
under a lot of stress."
"Mornings I was usually alone
with the children," Roraback said.
"That's fine -- I got to take care of
them. I made lesson plans. All the
teachers [students and Brian) were
supposed to, but I was the only one
who would do it. It was crazy. I interned there and asked if I should
turn in weekly planners, and she said
no. "
Roraback says that although
Brian gave her the authority to plan
lessons and act as teacher, Brian
would interfere randomly with her
plans. Brian says that she would only
interfere when she thought the
lessons would interrupt other activities, such as lunch, or violate her
standard of cleanliness:
Roraback says she sometimes
came in early to set up art projects,
and attempted to provide the
children with a variety of interesting
things to do that would not be the
same every day. "It was frustrating
trying to carryon a project from day
to day," she said, because she never
knew when her plans would be
brushed aside . "Like noodle art.
The kids adored it. I'd come in an
hour early to dye the noodles. But
then she might say that I couldn't do
it that day. We used to hope she'd
take off so that we could do projects. She wouldn't let us fingerpaint
because of the new rug," Roraback
said.
Brian says that, while she was
careful of the rug, the children do
indeed fingerpaint often.
Roraback felt that the lack of interns was due to Brian's unreceptive
response to interested students, as
well as the daycare's "bad reputation." "They want babysitters," she
said.
"She really does love those kids ,
but at the same time she treats them

wonderful nor terrible. "
Deb Roraback worked at Driftwood for four years, quitting last
winter. She usually worked three
mornings a week, and in her opinion
acted as the morning teacher during
that time, although she was paid as
a "child care provider," like the rest
of the student staff.
In discussing why she left Driftwood, Roraback said, "I was totally fed up with Virginia. You have got
to understand. I like her. She tries.
She just doesn 't do it."
By the end of her stay there,
Roraback was the only legally
responsible staff member besides
Brian and the afternoon teacher,
Celeste Mazzoulli . She says that one
day last winter, she was scheduled to
work because both Brian and Mazzoulli were going to be gone. She was
sick with a temperature of 103
degrees and could not find a
substitute. So that the daycare could
operate legally, she came in and
spent eight hours lying on the floor
of the bathroom, occasionally
vomiting. "Later, I said jokingly to
Virginia that I should have called
Mike Hall. And she replied that she
would have fired me. I quit the next
week ." Mike Hall was Brian's supervisor last year. Roraback says that
he was authorized to substitute for
Brian in an emergency, although
like a lot of other adults do, like they
aren't really people." One incident
stood out in Roraback's mind. She
had been talking to a child about
something that the child felt was extremely important, and Brian inter·
rupted to tell Roraback something.
"Ivy told Virginia that she was talking, and Virginia just brushed her
aside. I pointed out to Virginia that
she was interrupting," Roraback
said .
She said that the staff "wasn't encouraged to be excellent. If you
could keep them [the children) from
breaking themselves it was good."
"I was the only ·one there I
would've trusted my children with,"
Roraback concluded. "That's why
I stayed ."
Last summer, 12 Evergreen
students, eight of them parents at
Driftwood, signed a petition claiming that Driftwood Daycare was
"being poorly managed and maintained." They asked the Evergreen
administration to investigate the
management, teaching and budget
practices of Driftwood.
Roden, who organized the petition, said more parents feIt
dissatisfied with the care provided,
but were either out of town at the
time of the petition or felt their
children might be discriminated

against if they became involved.
This last petition, circulated in the
summer of 1985, was very similar to
one circulated in the spring of 1983.
The petitioners claimed that Driftwood was being "poorly managed
and maintained" and asked
Evergreen to investigate the
"management, teaching, and budget
practices ... They also requested that
the full-time administrator/teacher
and part-time teacher be replaced
with a full-time teacher and parttime administrator.
Roden says she sent a copy of the
petition and five ac,(ompanying letters to Stone Thomas; Gail Martin,
vice-president and Thomas's supervisor; and President Joe Olander,
Martin's Supervisor.
Some specific complaints outlined in the letters were, lack of intellectual and fine motor skill development, chaos, poor staffing, lack of
a fuD-time teacher, lack of definite
divisions between age groups, lack
of interns, lack of structured activities, and poor financial
management.
Martin had no comment on the
petition. She said that she had not
seen it. "This is an issue that cannot be discussed in a public forum,"
she said.
Brian said in response to the petition, "These people could have
come to me directly. Some of these
people are on the board and affecting the change."
Kathy Dublinski, a parent who
signed the petition, said in her letter
that she had brought her concerns to
Brian on numerous occasions but
saw no change.
Stone Thomas had the following
comment: "Virginia and I have identified the things consistent in the letters -- curriculum, interaction with
parents, upkeep of facilities, program administration -- and I am of
the opinion that those areas of identified concerns of parent-users are
being effectively dealt with."
In a memo from Larry
Stenburg, Brian's superior in 1983,
to petitioning parents in 1983, Stenburg cites Brian's primary qualification as having been the director of
the Fort Lewis Daycare. However,
when asked about previous employment in daycare, Brian did not mention her Fort Lewis job. Sue
Schaufler, currently director at the
Fort Lewis Daycare, said that Brian
had been fired from her post. Brian
had no statement on the matter.
Sue Lundy brought her child to
Driftwood last year, but has
withdrawn him. She did not feel that
the care had been satisfactory.
"It was a free-for-all. He didn't
learn anything there. No one seemed concerned with his development.
It's poorly managed," she said. She
\',ould like to see more staff consistency and a new director, she said.
While looking into Driftwood's
past can illuminate some patterns of
parent concern, the primary question now is Driftwood's quality today. There is some debate over
whether or not Driftwood provides
enough structured learing opporunities for the children.
According to state law, "The
routine tasks of living are implemented. Young children learn
through active manipulation. "
This year's goals of the Driftwood
staff are to focus on · staff training.
curriculum
for
prekindergartners, specific activities
with the 2-year-oIds, and to improve
Driftwood's image on campus. "We
have a very poor reputation," said
Brian. "We have for a long time.
We do far more than we are given
credit for. Children have a good day
and feedback from parents has been
. positive."
Brian says that she has seen much
improvement at Driftwood since she
was hired and there is a constant effort for enhanced quality. For examples she cited that they were now
licensed, that there was a new rug
and fence, that they had a USDA
food program, and that they just
received a free video disc player.
. She said that there were some
specific difficulties she encountered
because Driftwood was not private.
She said that because Driftwood is
the cheapest availabe, parents feel
forced to use it. According to Brian,
this gives parents a negative attitude.
It also creates an environment where
many people with widely differing
philosophies are forced to share the
same space; in a private daycare, a
parent dissenting with the
philosophy could simply move to
another daycare. She said that some
parents feel that Driftwood cannot
be a "real preschool" because the
daily fees are so low. She says that
it does not affect the quality . She
also says that dealing with
Evergreen's bureaucracy takes time
away from more productive work.
For instance, Brian said that it
took maintenance two years to fix a
fault in the fence. To parents, this
looked like she was. not addressing
the problem, when in fact she had
made the request. She said that if it
was a private daycare, she could
have just hired someone to fix it.
Brian says that she thinks the optimum way to run a daycare is with
a "creative environment." She
defines this as a structure where a
variety of stimulating activity
"centers" are always available to the
children, such as the cornmeal table,
which is similar to a sandbox, coloring, housekeeping, blocks, music,
etc. The children can then choose
their own activities.
Brian says that special activities
that are not offered every day are
brought in about twice a week, such
as puppets or woodworking.

Sarmento said that the ratios at
Driftwood "were fantastic" and
"there was no need for lack of

"I think that the problem at Driftwood is symptomatic of the larger
problem concerning student control
over S&A funded organizations and
their employees," said Roden .
Olson's predecessor, Linda
Lorentson, staff member at Driftwood in early February, was asked
by her supervisor, Brian, not to
grant an interview with the CPJ
unless Brian would be allowed to see
the finished story and "make sure
that it was accurate." This could be
seen as prior restraint and runs
counter to CPJ policy.
Maley agrees with some parents
that the older children need more involvement and stimulation, but says
"kids at that age can't have too
much structure just a little." He says
challenging the younger children is
easier; it is a matter of learing how
to cut with scissors, not what to cut.
Maley feels that he is weak in the
area of curriculum for the older
children. "I don't know what to do
about it. So much of my day is spent
telling them not to run inside, to
wash their hands .. ...
Maley would like to see some interns who specialized in 5-year-olds.
"They're harder to deal with," he
said. He would like to see a more
definite separation of the ages.
"There needs to be more structure.
It can occur between age groups, but
when you put everyone together you
need to be very entertaining or you
lose your audience. A lot of what
you can teach is values."
Maley interacts with children as
they play by themselves. "When a
problem comes up, like a .fight over
a toy, it's the way things get resolved that teaches them," he said.
"Personally, I try to resolve things
without anger."
In conclusion, Maley said, "It
works. Maybe it's not optimum, but
it works. Virginia is a good person;
her heart is in what she's doing. I've
always been able to speak my mind.
If I don't agree with her, I can tell
students studying early childhood
education.
Unfortunately, in past years
academic participation has been
poor, with few interns and
volunteers. According to Coop Ed
records, there have been no interns
at all since 1984.
When asked about the future of
internships at Driftwood, Thomas
said, "It will look brighter. Getting
the academic proponent of the college involved is a major concern of
mine. It is a natural environment for
people to learn about little people."
"I would love to have more internships," said Brian. "I think it is
essential. ..
Rita Pougiales, dean and parent,
is planning Evergreen's new Teacher
Certification Program, which will be
run in cooperation with WWU .
She wants to see the new program
incorporate internships at daycares
and have a focus on early childhood
education, but does not know if the
program will work with Driftwood.
"It would be a great embarrassment
if the campus did not have a facility
it could respect," she said.
"As a parent, I would not send
my child there," said Pougiales, and
pointed to a higher child-teacher
ratio, teacher's aides being inadequately trained, and "random
rumors" as the cause of her
decision.
It has been proposed that Driftwood move to new, bigger facilities
closer to campus. According to a
poll that the Parent's Center
distributed last year to parents, there
are over 100 student, staff and faculty parents that have definite interest
in using campus child care for
regular, drop-in , evening, or latchkey programs. The proposed
facilities, in the old ceramics studio
behind the COM building, would
provide care for 40-60 children.
Each fall for the past three years,
Driftwood has had a waiting list.
This year, however, Driftwood has
gone through its waiting list and is
still under capacity. Brian cites the
Parent's Center's competition and
possibly less demand as the reasons
page S
(or the lack of enroDed children.
Sue Roden, Parent's Center cocoordinator, says that the Drop-in
Center does not noticably affect
Driftwood's enrollment. Roden says
that the center's regulars are mostly
children too young for Driftwood,
and that the Drop-in Center's higher
rates and lack of facilities should
make Driftwood more desirable to
parents.
Martin said she is excited ·about
the proposed move. She sees it as being a key in improving the quality of
campus childcare.
Parent Andrea Gardner feels that
the
move
would
improve
Evergreen's relationship with Driftwood and with children, by increasing student awareness and participation. She says that for an adult,
Driftwood is a five minute walk
from campus and 10 from ASH, but
with a child that time can double.
She adds, "Moving isn' t going to
cure all the problems. The new
building is still off the main campus.
Evergreen is supposedly so dedicated
to 'tommorrow' -- they should be
able to see tomorrow running
around. Kids are not part of the
community. "
Petitioners last summer had this
concern: "If the new campus-wide
daycare proposal is to be successful,
then some changes in the current administration of daycare IS
imperative! "
Sue Roden said this of the proposed expansion: "Under its current administration, it would be a mess."
"If this move is made, Virginia
will still be director," said Martin .
"Driftwood would just move to new
facilities . Her position would not be
reclassi fied. ' ,
Thomas said that her position
would not be reclassified, but with
expanded revenue and staff would
almost certainly become more
specialized.
Brian says she feels confident that
she can handle the increased size and
stress, as long as staffing increases
are adequate.
Many other suggestions have been
made on improving Driftwood's
quality; Evergreen's administration
is examining the issue and is open to
suggestions. "With a new dean in
charge and a new teacher's cert program, we can afford to look at it
again," Martin said.
Several parents called for increased emphasis on cross-cultural and
non-se"ist lessons for the children.
"Our students have educational
values, and they, as well as we, want
to see that reflected in our childcare
program, and that it be not just a
babysitting service," Martin said.
"Managing a childcare center is a
very difficult thing," said Betsy Diffendal, a faculty member with an interest in child care. "It is my opinion
that most administrators don't know
how to evaluate child care administration. Why don't we bring in
an excellent daycare administrator
from the outside to evaluate
Virginia?" she said .
Patty Schiendleman, graduate,
parent, and last year's coordinator
of the Parent's Center, said, "There
has been poor management. It's
TESC administration's fault too, for
considering it a marginal priority,
letting it slide downhill ...
Shiendleman said that the cultural
context needs to be considered;
society' s attitudes towards child care
reflects its attitudes towards women .
In this regard, she said that
Evergreen is very mainstream, and
that single mothers are not given
adequate support. "Unless someone
more radically inclined takes up the
cause, it will continue to be underfunded and ignored," she
concluded.
Brian says that she has seen constant improvement since she became
director, and that she sees Driftwood
as being a satisfactory daycare, but
she looks forward to more improvements. She says that change
takes place through constructive action, not criticism.
Polly Trout is an Evergreen student involved in campus daycare.

last year and is currently employed
at the Parent Center's Drop-in Child
Care Center.

Rawnsley scores 32 in heart-stopping loss to D's
by Jacob Weisman
Team D won their fourth game in
a row in intramural basketball competition last Friday, beating Team A
66-62 in what turned out to be a
closely fought contest.
Team D led by 14 points, 49-35,
entering the fourth Quarter, on the
strength of Matt Hartman's 17 first
half points . But Pat Rawnsley, who
had scored 31 points the week
before, scored 14 of his league high
32 points during the last Quarter of
play, sparking a dramatic comeback
by Team A.
Team A managed to cut the lead
to 4 points with just under 2
minutes remaining. Forward
Allen Jones, foUowing his own missed shot, rebounded the ball, pivoted
to his right, and shot a spectacular
turnaround jump hook.
"I'm always surprised when the
ball goes in. When we started to
come back, we all got fired up. We
realized we could win," said Jones.
Moments later Jim Daniels intercepted an inbounds pass and
threw it ahead to a streaking Pat
Rawnsley, who drove the baseline,
hit a 10 foot bank shot, and brought
Team A within 2 points.
But with only seconds remaining,
Team A was unable to regroup for
their zone press . The inbounds pass
went to Mike Hechter who scored
the final 2 points for Team D with
a driving right-handed lay-up .
"We didn't win, " Jones commented after .the game, " but we
scared them."
In other action, Team C won their
first game of the season, defeating

Scrappy netters take 4 !romUPS

After four months of practice, the
tennis teams went into full bore action last week with six matches in
three days. The men started off with
a thriller at UPS Wednesday,
February 26 .
Seven of the nine matches went
the distance of three sets, with
Evergreen taking four of those. Ben
Chotzen, Gene Chong, Jim Wood
and Bob Reed won their singles matches. Jay Nuzum lost a three setter
at the number three singles spot and
Rick Doussett lost 6-2, 6-2, at
number six.
With the Geoducks losing the
number two and three doubles, the
team match score was tied 4-4 going
into the number one doubles match .
In a real cliffhanger, Wood and
Chotzen came up short against a
scrappy UPS duo and lost in the
third set, 6-4.
The final match score was 5-4 in
favor of UPS. This was Quite an improvement over last year, when the
Geoducks lost the same match 8-1.

Arvid Gust raps with Heliotroupe
about internal politics and their
influence as poets and musicians
Heliotroupe is back with a new style live in concert ·and in the studio
by Arvid Gust
Yes, Heliotroupe has found itself
a comfortable niche in our Olympia
community. Evergreen students flock
to their gigs .. . enjoying a wide array
of new material and ever popular
favorites.
And dancing? You bet. This band will
always give you ample opportunity to
jump to your feet, allowing for physical
movement to clear the mists, and
many opportunities to break through
the mist.
On guitar leads you can ride all the
way Home-one smiles with a grin of
Freedom. You can trust this band with
your soul, body and mind complete.
Feels great!
Current members include Dani KelIy, who writes many of the songs in
their repertoire. As a performer, Dani
sings lead vocals and plays the rythmn
guitar licks. Mark Eckert provides most
lead guitar action, soaring to new
heights at every opportunity. He also
sings backup vocals while Dianne
Kallerges accents the lyrics with a
mature and pleasing vocal style all her
own . Dianne is most proficient playing bass guitar for Heliotroupe. Well
remembered for her talents while performing with the local band The Detentions, Dianne, more recently sparkled
as a member of the successful Electric Ballroom. And last, but certainly
not least, Fred Nigitio plays the drums.
He is also quite adept at adding tex
ture; with an array of percussion in
struments. Well received by an ever
gracious audience, Heliotroupe latest
style surges ahead in new directions;
enthusiastic and inspired.
In the studio, Heliotroupe is busily
at work making an EP recording. Upon
completion, this 5-track recording will
be distributed independently to radio
stations and record stores. All tracks
are being produced in Oregon, at
Dogfish Sound, a studio owned and
engineered by Evergreen graduate,
Drew Caulette. The band speak highly
of technical advances and thus far,
Prior to a rehearsal session, I was
given an opportunity to discuss
and review Heliotroupe's formula
for success. The following interview reviews their current
achievements:
1
o
Arvid: Heliotroupe is not a new band,
how long have you been together?
Dani: Four years. We celebrated our
fourth birthday last weekend at the 4th
Avenue Tavern.
Arvid: How many original members
are left?
Mark: Three are!
Dianne: I've been with Heliotroupe for
nine months.
Arvid: This latest incarnation bandwise, seems to capture a more direct,
almost forceful drive for confrontation,
as opposed to a looser 'bar' oriented
sound. Do you agree?
Mark: Well, with four members there
is more room to breathe, it's more ...
com~ortable, but whether "confrontation" describes our music or not ...
Dani: We're goin' for it. We realize
our audience pays more attention. Tapping into real energy-and that's what
Rock and Roll is 'all about.
Arvid: Considering the change in
band members (i. e. without keyboards), which is effective for learning
different approaches to 'sounds' and
ways to accomodate 'space', added
depth and harmonies . . . do you plan
to expand again, or are you all content?
' Mark: We're content. The present
setup gives us more room for individual work, though we will be adding more percussion instruments.
Dani: We might add a percussion
rack, and perhaps a synthesizer on the
bass, or so .. . but we will add instruments within the band, no new
players.
Fred: Of course, we will be maintaining a Rock and Roll beat.
Dani: Yeah. We're a guitar band. An

their efforts are being rewarded with
success. Once satisfied with their accomplishments, record company approval (completing the circle by providing a 'record label') and tour
management will surely follow.
Performances in Portland, Ore. and
the further outlying reaches of
Washington State have brought them
an abundance of new fans. At each of
these concerts there are people of all
ages, from all walks of Life, discovering their own unique relationship to the
music. Many complements rave about

Arvid: I saw Jerry Lee Lewis just last
night. Is that a 'basic' rock and roil ;ormat? It seemed like his presence was
as powerful and personal as the lyric
content. . .
. ~
Everybody: Rock and Roll began with
a sexual revolution, then evolved
through the mind revolution. By the
mid 70's not much was being said
again except "let's Party" . We're
making a major effort to write . .. conscious of our environment (i.e. the
SO's) ... a nature of business that people can relate to immediately. We don't
forget the tragedies, but we're not "be
a rebel" or "crash and destroy"
either.
Arvid: And rock and roll adheres to
your variations?
Dani: We,re an American sound, we
try to let go of pretenses. I used to
write in a variety of British pop styles,
now we try to write just 'good songs
more.
. Mark: Internal politics through dance.
Dianne: Let' have fun, strut your
stuff!
Arvid: I noticed a few cover tunes . ..
Dianne: Everyone loves cover tunes.
But someone comes to our gig, and
says afterwards-they, great set ... but,
by the way, whose song was the one
that goes 'doo wha doo'? Now, that
was an original tune. And, after awhile,
they don't know the difference. We try
to create music everyone enjoys, and
wants to hear again.
Arvid: At Jerry Lee Lewis and the
Allstars show, the joyful rush of "Great
Balls of Fire," that flash of inspiration . .. ice cream cone to the forehead
excite ment had some women rushing
the stage. That type of get off led the
Rock and Roll success story.
Mark: We understand that, but we're
more influencial as musicians and
poets than at creating entertainment

THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL'S GROOVY TOOTH
Olympia underground holds benefit for Rick Lewis
by Paul Pope
Friends of Rick Lewis and Olympia
underground music fans gathered at
St. Michaels Catholic School for a
benefit show for the injured Olympia
artist, Saturday, March 1.
First, I do not know Rick Lewis. I do
wish him well and much strength. Particulars about him are best left to his
friends. The bands I remember
were: Danger Mouse, The Wimps, UMen, Young Pioneers, and the
Supreme Cool Beings. I'm sure there
were others too, but hey, if it's critical
acclaim they want they won't find it
here.
As I walked up to the school I saw
scenesters on the lawn. I must be getting old when I come for the music and
not their flash. It has all been done better before. O.K. Secure loose items in
pockets (the music I can hear tells me
this might be a thrashable night).
House keys, wallet, travel kit, pen,
small note pad -- check. I give three
dollars at the door and am later accosted for my spare change.
Danger Mouse, a basic three piece
unit made up of what I take to be as
locals, played a scathing cover of that
trendy industrial pop song" Rio . " Unfortunately this was their only
salvageable vocal. Throughout their
:set, bassist Donna had some bass
lines, which mayor may not be
original, never-the-Iess I'm a sucker for
braids anytime.
Most of the sound last Saturday
night was well under mach one, making it sub-skankable. Social etiquette
in the pit as it is (or should be): seek
no excessive bodily harm; harbor no

grudges; remain on your feet; assist
the fallen; advance to the farthest
perimeter of moving bodies; keep arms
flailing; smile; repeat.
The crowd which made up this
debauch were mostly grungy skate
punks, scrappy Greeners, assorted
16-year-olds pan-handling for beer (I
make my social contributions when it
amuses me), cultural voyeurs, and
other uncertified sociopaths.
While I am bogged down in selfserving hypocritical labels I will feebiIy attempt to catalogue the music in
a new genre, how about: a little too
mellow post-thrash-punk in trying to
prove that given enough volume,
sweat, beer, and leather the mutant
class will be content. This is not to say
that the evening as a whole was
unpleasing. Hey, the raunchier the better. I am impressed that Olympia's
youth counter culture is as large as this
benefit proved it to be, still taking in
account that a percentage descended
upon the fold from the pagan lands of
Seattle and Tacoma to support Rick
Lewis and probably the U-Men.
The slower-paced twisted thrash of
the U-Men to me is reminiscent of the
Birthday Party. One number in particular, entitled "U-Men Stomp," proclaimed by one band member, "which
is a better name, I guess, than,
'Smoke on the Water.' " Possibly, but
not quite.
What remained most identifiable to
available at
me Sunday morning were several
minor bruises (recreational hazard),
Wimps guitar, and a large red-headed
woman I understand to be Lewis'
housemate who spoke during a break
between sets of his improving condition. She also made reference to subpoenas to be issued to those who
witnessed Lewis' beating. "If you are
called in by the defense attorney it
must be at a time convenient to you.
Do not talk to them in private. Ask that
the prosecutor be present. If he (the
accused) pleads guilty he'll get 3 years,
maybe, and that's all. And if he pleads
innocent and is convicted he'll get five
years," she said.
The Supreme Cool Beings were the
last band to play, possessing the
highest energy of the night, and were
also the tightest musically. Their set
ended abruptly with the announcement
by the door that due to alcohol on the
premises that the police demand the
show to be shut down. This was
around 11 p.m. I saw no cops at my
exiting shortly after. As it was, the
show did last a considerably long time,
being that it started at 5:30 p.m.
I was not able to find out how much
money was raised. Approximately·200
people were in attendance, though, as
with most shows of this nature, it is
certain that they all paid . I was overwhelmed to see some of these bands
perform for this well worthwhile event,
showing a true sense of caring among
the alternative minded. Walking to a
friend's house afterward, the
resonance of the amplifiers still hummed through my head and the best cover
of the night, "Feelin Groovie," helped
to shrug off the cold.

Final dr·a ft of All-Campus Governance DTF
Report available for the perusal of one and all
In a February II memo from
President Olander to governance
DTF members, the president asked
the appropriate individuals to begin
the process of representative selection and will call the first meeting of
the Advisory Board as soon as a full
slate of participants has been
identified.
He says he will try to live within
the recommendations of the DTF as
they have been presented to him. It
is also his intention, he says, to try
to make the product of the DTF's
efforts work and to live up to the
spirit of their recommendations.
The following is the final draft of
the All-Campus Governance DTF
Report, January IS, 1986:
DTF Members
Carolyn Dobbs, Chair; Bill Arney;
Sandy Butler; Keith Eisner; Amanda Goldberg; Richard Jones; Nancy Koppelman; Jay Saucier; Gail
Tremblay; Ed Trujillo.
Preamble
The All-Campus Governance
DTF Report was written in the spirit
of The Evergreen State College
Social Contract. The contract states:
"The Evergreen State College is
an association of people who work
together as learners and teachers .
Such a community can thrive only
if members respect the rights of
others while enjoying their own
rights. Students, faculty, administrators and staff members may
differ widely in their specific interests, in the degrees and kinds of
experiences they bring to Evergreen
and in the functions which they have
agreed to perfonn, but all must
share alike in prizing academic and
interpersonal honesty, in responsibly
obtaining and in providing full and
accurate information, and in resolving their differences through due
process and with a strong will to collaboration. In its life as a community, The Evergreen State College requires a social contract rather than
a list of speci fie prohibitions and
essentially negative rules."
An important emphasis is placed
on individual members to take
responsibility and come ... .. with a
strong will to collaboration." Further, the All-Campus Governance
DTF proposes that all views be given
the opportunity to' be discussed and
resolved. Again, the Social Contract
states:
.. All members of the Evergreen
community enjoy the right to hold
and to participate in public meetings,
to post notices on the campus, and
to engage in peaceful demonstrations. Reasonable and impartially
applied rules may be set with respect
to time, place and use of Evergreen
facilities in these activities."
.. Another essential condition of
learning is the full freedom and right
on the part of individuals and groups
to the expression of minority, unpopular, or controversial points of
view."
"Related to this point is the way
in which civility is a fundamental
condition of learning. Only if
minority and unpopular points of
view are accorded respect, are listened to, and are given full opportunity for expression will Evergreen provide bona fide opportunities for
significant learning."
It is in this spirit and philosophy
that the Governance DTF submits
the following:
Scope and Purpose of the Advisory
Board
The Evergreen State College is
governed by its Board of Trustees
through the President of the college
The President delegates authority
and responsibility for governance as
outlined in the documents by which
the college operates. The policies and
rules, according to which the college
chooses to govern itself and its
members, are constrained by the
laws of the land and by policies promulgated by agencies and bodies
that, by statute or contract, have
governance authority over some or
all members of the Evergreen
community.
There are three constituencies that
comprise the college. They are
students, staff (classified and exempt), and faculty. All policies and
rules of the college affect members
of all three constituent groups.
The Advisory Board (AB) makes
recommendations about all-campus
policy matters to the President upon
his/her request or when college
policies and resulting rules create
concern or conflict, potential or
realized, between or among constituencies. It is intended that matters
of concern will be studied by the AB
proactively, if possible, before actual
policy-related conflicts occur.
Therefore, is is essential that
members of the AB maintain full
and continuing communication with
their constituency and that they try
to remain informed of all-campus
policy matters. The AB does not
make policy or issue rulings .
While the AB makes recommendations only to the President, it
should also serve all constituent
groups on campus . Should it fail in
this regard, the AB should be changed or abolished by recommendation
from a campus-wide meeting set for
that purpose.
at-large members have been selected.
Selection process: Each constituency will choose members for the
AB using mechanisms established by
that constituent group. Constituencies will follow the college's affirmative actioo guidelines to insure
that people of color and women will
be represented on the AB. All
members will be responsive to concerns of people of color, women and
other minority groups and have
demonstrated experience working
with at least one of these groups.
[n the event a constituency does
not have a selection mechanism or
chooses not to select representatives,
the Provost may select three faculty, the Vice President for Student
Affairs, three students, and the Vice
President for Development and Administrative Services, three staff.
These selections should be done in
consultation with the other Vice
Presidents. The same guidelines
listed above should apply to these
appointments.
The three at-large members will be
appointed by the President based on
recommendatinos from the nine
other members of the AB and in
consultation with the college's Affirmative Action officer . Priority
should be given to insuring that people of color and women are
represented. In the event that these
groups are represented already, the
three at -large positions should be used to provide diversity by representing special campus groups such as
part-time or graduate students or
satellite campus personnel and
students .
Terms of office: Each member of
the AB, excluding the President, will
be chosen for a one year, three times
renewable term. The term of office
will run annually from the first day
of Spring Quarter. The President's
term on the AB will coincide with
his/her presidential tenure.
A term of office may be terminated by r..equest of the AB
member or by the AB for two unexcused absences. The Chair of the AB
will notify other representatives
from the constituency within five
working days.
Start-up procedure for terms of
office: The initial term of office will
run from February I, 1986, until the
first day of Spring Quarter, 1987.
by petition .to the Chair of at least
three members. All AB meetings
must be advertised as soon as the
meeting is set. All meetings must be
in compliance with the Open
Meetings Act.
All decisions will be made by consensus. In those cases when full
agreement is not achieved, minority
positions will also be circulated .
Make-up: Each of the three constituencies will be represented on the
AB by three persons. One of the
staff members must be in an exempt
position. [n addition, the President,
as an ex-officio member, and three
at-large members will also serve on
this AB. The three at-large members
will be a student, a staff person and
a faculty. Each constituency will also
select at least one alternate to serve
if a regular member is unable to
complete his/ her tenn of office. The
chairperson, who shall not be the
President, will be chosen by the
members of the AB as soon as the
The agenda of the Advisory Board
will be set by the chair with the consent of the other AB members using
items offered by the President or
other AB members at the request of
their constituency . New agenda
items may be added at the beginning of each meeting. Agenda items
will focus on all-campus policies,
proposed or in effect, and interco nstituency concerns or conflicts
over policies. In the case of conflicts,
every effort will be made to resolve
the conflict at the constituency level
before involving AB review.
The AS will hold meetings
regularly; meetings may be initiated
by presidential request, the Chair, or
General: The AB is used in two
ways. First, the President may request that the AB provide him/her
with advice when a policy has caused or may cause the conditions for
inter-constituency conflict. When
the President asks the AB for a
recommendation, the AB may give
a recommendation or respectfully
decline to make a recommendation.
Second, a constituency, through its
members on the AB, may request
that a recommendation be given to
the President. In such an instance,
the AB may declare the matter to be
of little consequence or outside its
purview, the AB may try to resolve
the conflict or potential conflict
without making a recommendation
to the President, and/or the AB may
make a recommendation to the
President. In every case, the AB will
issue a public statement outlining the
matter brought before it and its
resolution. The AB will also,
through its members, insure that AB
actions are communicated to
constituencies.
Specific policy conflicts: The
following options are available when
the AB has been asked to participate
in resolving inter-constituency policy
conflicts . The options can be used
sequentially or separately.
Option I: Resolving the conflict
'fin house"
An individual or group will bring
policy concerns to his/ her/ its constituency governance body. In addition, a person or group might address concerns to the campus
mediator or adjudicator, if
appropriate.
Option 1/: Informal resolution
through AB mediation
AB members from that consti tuency may be directed to ask the
chair of the AB to appoint a subcommittee to investigate the policy
issue and bring the constituencies in
question together, if necessary. The
subcommittee would consist of two
to four members, primarily drawn
from AB members from the constituencies most affected by the policy.
If a subcommittee decides to mediate
the conflict, such efforts will be
made in a timely fashion within 15
working days. The subcommittee
will then report results to the full
AB.

Communication and
Record-Keeping
In dealing with agenda items, the
AB will both gather and disseminate
infonnation. Members will be open
and accessible to students, faculty,
or staff, as well as serve as a channel of communication among these
groups.
AB members from each constituency will report regularly to the
governance group designated by that
constituency. (Until a constituency
forms a governance body, the vice
president who oversees the constituency will be responsible for
holding open meetings regularly to
discuss policy concerns.) Agenda
items being addressed by the AS will
be reported to the constituent governance body before recommendations
are made. Exceptions to this rule
may be declared by the full AS when
externaUy-caused emergencies occur.
Prospective agenda items should be
gathered from constituencies by their
AB members.
The names of the AB members
will be published at least twice a
quarter in the Cooper Point Journal
and the campus Newsletter . AB
discussions will be recorded; important issues and recommendations
will be published in the CP J, and
minutes will be available through the
office of the Governance Coordinator, the Information Center,
Services and Activities Office, and
related student organizations .
Names of AB members, meeting
times and places, and agendas for
upcoming meetings will be posted as
soon as possible on a bulletin board
designated for that purpose. The AB
will keep a record of its deliberations
in the offices of the Governance
Coordinator and the President.
Funds must be allocated to provide a professional clerical position
for the AB. Responsibilities include
taking and disseminating minutes,
recording meetings, insuring proper
notification of constituency governance groups about AB meetings
and agendas, and maintaining a file
of all written and oral co mmunication received by the AB. This position is essential for the effecti ve and
efficien t operation of the AB.
Evalua tion
The AB will design a process for
regular evaluation of its record. The
first evaluation will take place at the
end of Spring Quart~r, 1986.
Grievance
The Governance DTF recommends that individual grievance procedures described in previous governance
documents
(W AC
174-107-360 through -530) not be a
responsibility of the AB. We strongly recommend that the President
publish all IIlformation about
grievance mechanisms and make the
document available to all students,
staff and faculty.

Intern options severely limited by budget cuts
by Susan Hall
The internship program at
Evergreen is currently experiencing
drastic financial cutbacks, resulting
in a severely limited number of internship positions available to
Evergreen students. ·In the past, internship options were wide open.
Any student with the desire for practical, on-the-job experience who
worked with the Office of
Cooperative Education (Coop Ed) in
finding suitable field and faculty internship sponsors, in clarifying needs
and goals in relation to a possible internship, and in facilitating the
necessary paperwork involved in
contracting an internship, could elect
to participate in an internship of
their choice.
At present, that availability is a
thing of the past. As of January
1986, fmancial difficulties have forced Coop Ed to institute a new and
devastating policy at Evergreen in
regard to the internship option. In
reality, internships are no longer an
option for many Evergreen students.
It is a long, frustrating and
familiar story. The Coop Ed office,
the agency responsible for processing and facilitating internships at
Evergreen, has had its budget for
the 1985-87 biennium cut by about
$21,000. This substantial budgetary
cut has forced Barbara Cooley, the
director of Coop Ed, to reevaluate .
the number of internships and
students that Coop Ed can
realistically process while still maintaining a high level of quality.
It is important to note that by far
the major portion of Coop Ed's
budget goes toward staff salaries .
Thus, it follows that a $21,000 cut
Famous first lady
fought for future
by R. Wallis
Since it is National Woman' s
History Week, let me tell you about
an American woman who fought the
good fight.
She was the daughter of an
alcoholic who was never much of a
father. Her socialite mother
nicknamed her "granny" because
she was an unattractive child, when
her mother was around that is. She
was raised by her grandmother. Her
mother-in-law was a domineering
woman who wanted to control her
married life. Her husband was unfaithful and though he had deep
respect for her, he could never be the
intimate companion she dreamed of
having during her unhappy
childhood. She was homely and her
speaking voice was harsh. She had
to struggle with her mother-in-law
over her husband after he was crippled by disease, because the motherin-law wanted him to retire to the
family horne . Her name was Anna
Eleonore Roosevelt.
She would serve Franklin D.
Roosevelt as First Lady, Harry S.
Truman as delegate to the United
Nations and teU John F. Kennedy he
was not liberal enough to be a good
democrat. She overcame the dark
side of life to become a heroic
person.
Eleanore was a sensitive child and
her mother's teasing did not help.
Though the grandmother who raised her did her duty, Eleanore longed for something more. She married
Franklin and discovered his
domineering mother Sara. Though
Franklin recognized Eleanor ' s
genius, and a deep respectful love
was to grow strong between them,
it was not destined to be the intimate
love match of Eleanore's dreams.
It was Eleanore who kept Franklin
from slipping into obscurity after
polio left him unable to walk. She
kept FDR's name alive by attending
political conventions, and refused to
let him retire. And she kept the
pressure on the remainder of his
political life, serving as a tireless
champion for liberal prgrams and
liberal philosophy, always arguing
and pushing FDR to remember the
downtrodden .
Eleanore Roosevelt loved America
and worked ceaselessly to improve
the conditions for all its people. As
First Lady, she checked into any
question which arrived by mail,
demanding answers and infuriating
bureaucrats.
She took driving vacations across
the nation with her close friend
Lorena Hickock , to see for herself
how things were going in the United
States during the depression. She
would report her findings to FDR,
providing a voice for those without
a voice.
She entertained thousands of people at the White House during
FDR's presidency, and then at Val
Kill, her home on the Hudson River,
after his death. Imagine the effect a
chat with Eleanore must have had on
the individuals who made up the
endless train of civic groups that
wound their way through the teas
and picnics she would give in their
honor.
During the war, she flew to visit
the boys in the South Pacific.
She wrote a newspaper column
called "My Day" during her years
as First Lady and spent the income
assisting liberal causes.
After the war, and FDR's death,
she served as a delegate to the United
Nations and helped to draft the U.N.
Declaration on Human Rights. It
was the achievement in which she
took the most pride. Eleanore did
not want the world to ever suffer the
agony of another world war.
Her personal life was often harsh.
FDR was with Lucy Rutherford,
"the other woman," at the time of
his death, and her daughter Anna
had been the hostess for the gettogether. For Eleanore, who was so
intensely loyal, this was a difficult
blow. The FBI followed her friendship with a young Army soldier,
Joseph Lash, and accused her of
adultery. But she forgave her
daughter in time and refused to bow
under the injustice of small minds .
There have been few people who
work so tirelessly for the good, and
who have expected so little reward.
The rightness of her actions was
enough. It is a humbling experience
to read about the life of Anna
Eleanore Roosevelt.
When I see that some people have
formed a support group to deal with
the problem of being " too attractive" or hear feminists chant "black,
yeUow, red, brown, white men won 't
keep
us
down,"
I
am
uncomfortable.
To rise above the difficulties in life
is the charge of being given life. To
rise above the difficulties in life with
grace and dedication to virtue is to
meet the charge with excellence.
Eleanore Roosevelt rose above a
difficult childhood and a disappointing romance to fight for the future,
a cause worthy of the battle.
Buried at Hyde Park in New
York, alongside the Hudson River,
people go every day to pay homage
to a great woman who believed in
mankind and worked so hard for its
betterment. Certainly the description
"First Lady" has never been more
aptly given.
in that budget requires a major
reduction in staff salaries, accomplished either through completely eliminating staff positions or by
cutting the number of hours that the
Coop Ed staff works. Staffing
reductions must in tum be translated
into severe cuts in the number of internships available to students.
The budget cutbacks are complicated and the implications
worsened by the fact that the internship program at Evergreen is steadily
growing -- the demand for internships is increasing while at the same
time the funding for Coop Ed is
significantly decreasing. During the
1983-1985 biennium, the number of
individual students conducting internships rose by a whopping 35 percent with no corresponding increase
in funding to cover the much greater
demand for Coop Ed services.
Faced with a growing internship
demand and a $21,000 cut in the
Coop Ed budget for the 1985-1987
biennium, Barbara Cooley has been
forced into severly limiting the
number of internship positions open
to students.
A priority system has been
established in order to 'carry out
those limitations. Students are rated
as high or low priority accordinj/ to
specific qualifications. The highest
priority goes to any student,
regardless of class rank, who is
enrolled in an academic program
with a required internship component. Second priority goes to seniors
in programs with optional internships. Third priority is to seniors doing internships through internship
learning contracts . Within this
category, third quarter seniors have
highest priority, then second
quarter, then first quarter seniors.
Fourth priority goes to juniors,
again ranked according to proximity to graduation, who are not in pro-grams requiring internships. The last
priority goes to sophomores and
freshmen .
At present, the Coop Ed office
has set the limit on internships at
between 140 to 160 positions. Of the
over 300 students who applied for
spring quarter internships, approximately 100 of these were in programs which required internships.
This left 40 to 60 positions open for
the rest of the student population,
almost 3,000 students. It doesn't
take much calculation to realize that
this year's policy has denied the
possibility of doing an internship to
many Evergreen students .
Unless in a program requiring an
internship, seniors with goals of acquiring practical experience during
their final year of college will find
that this may no longer be an option.
Similarly, juniors have even less of
an opportunity to work in their
chosen fields. And sophomores and
freshmen, again unless in a program
which requires an internship (an
unusual situation at the sophomore
and freshman level), have been left
out in the cold. Their chances are
virtually nil.
For next year, the situation looks
even grimmer. AU staff hours will be
cut by 20 percent. The number of internships will go from an already
constrictive limit of between approximately 150 down to only 120
available internships per quarter .
Again , 120 positions to serve the internship needs of almost 3,000
students is woefully inadequate. The
internship program is not dead, but
it is slowly and, so far, silently
wasting away .
To the best of my knowledge, this
is the internship outlook as it now
stands. It needs to be changed.
Evergreen takes pride in offering an
alternative educational experience of
quality, while providing a solid,
stimulating basis for future careers.
For me, an internship experience is
a crucial ingredient to this type of
education. Academic study by itself
is not enough.
When I arrived at Evergreen in the
fall of 1984, I came fully expecting
not only to have the option but to
be actively encouraged to take advantage of the tremendous values offered by experiential education -internships.
This
year's Evergreen
catalogue optimistically states that,
"Many students also make good use
of internships to acquire a year or
more of near-professional experience
by the time they graduate. " In light
of the new policy, this statement
seems misleading and a distortion of
the reality of what Evergreen actually offers to new and continuing
students.
In the February 13, 1986 issue of
the Cooper Point Journal, there was
an article entitled, "Recruiter trying
to reach community," wh ich
described the mainly positive
responses of students at Bellevue
Community College who were interested in an Evergreen education.
The article stated that, ~'Several
students said that they could see
enormous benefit to receiving an
education through an internship program rather than the traditional class
sched\lle. 'They could put me into an
internship program in my field
which I think is a great idea,' said
Debrah Jenkins, a second year
Bellevue Community College
student. "
Capitol quibbles over colleges
by Todd D. Anderson
Commitment to adequate state
support for higher education is
strong among Washington State
legislators. Many see the future of
economic development in the state
tied to an effective group of colleges
an<;l universities. Sound financial
backing is fundamental in any attempt to upgrade the level of educational services. Where the agreement
starts breaking down is on the issue
of where additional money should
come from.
Two bills were introduced in the
1986 legislative session to pump
more dollars into higher education .
On the expenditure side, they were
both similar, appropriating funds
for faculty salary increases and student financial aid. Increasing pay for
professors is necessary to keep levels
of pay at Washington schools competitive with those of comparable
states. Senate Bill 5003, introduced
by Senator Dan McDonald (RBellevue) would have dedicated
more money to higher education. In
this bill, most of the increase would
go to salary increases, with approximately 20 percent going to the student financial aid pool. Substitute
House Bill 1682, introduced by a
group of House Democrats would
have appropriated additional money
in a similar fashion. But the pro-posals differed on funding sources.
Primarily because of this disagreement, both bills failed.
McDonald's bill would have
drawn money out of the state's
general fund, assuming no tax
changes. "There will be additional
revenues from existing taxes in the
next biennium (1987-89)," said
McDonald. H.B. 1682 would have
levied a tax on investment income as
a funding source. The impetus
behind this idea is a report released

Evergreen has a new literary
magazine. It's got lots of turtles in
it, and it's called "Slightly West."
This is not the first attempt to
establish a literary magazine here .
It's been tried before, and it's been
proven that Evergreen has all the
resources necessary to produce a
good magazine. I've seen quality
publications that have come from
this school, journals with real bindings, and print on both sides of the
pages.
Two of my writings appeared in
"Slightly West." In both pieces were

particularly bothered by missing

entirely changed the meanings of
sentences.

Typos are surface, aesthetic problems that are easily fIXed, but they
make publications appear careless

pooches
pester
Dear Evergreen,
During winter months, people and
pooches alike seek shelter from inclement weather and we see little of
our college's canine company . More
often than not, they are grouped
around the main doors of CAB
waiting for owners, visiting with
other dogs or else pestering
pedestrians for handouts . With the
advent of warm weather, the
number of dogs on campus at any
one time seems to double or triple.
Some are "regulars," while others
are there for the day. Their presence
is a nuisance and a danger, to the
dogs as well as the people.
This letter is addressed mainly to
the owners of these free-running
dogs, but it is a problem which the
entire campus community must take
on . Do you dog owners have the
slightest idea of how inconsiderate
you are being? Some people do not
like having to play dodge-the-dog
when trying to enter/ leave CAB.
Some people wish to sit outside and
not be bothp.red by animals while
they visit or eat. Some people are
afraid of dogs, and suffer great
stress when confronted with a large,
free running beast.
What about the animals? Any
person who would allow his/ her
animal to roam freely does not truly love that animal (I say the same
about anyone who will not neuter
their pet , but that is another issue) .
You wouldn't allow your child to
wander about in a crowd o f
strangers, yet you are patently unconcerned about the welfare of a 'life
requiring almost as much care and
supervision as that of a child . What
if your dog bites someone? That has
happened before at Evergreen and ,
unless the canine problem is solved,
it will happen again . What if someone hurts your dog ? Or steals it?
Or hits it with a car?
The fact is there is no reason for
any loose, running dogs on campus.
If you cannot leave your dog at
home, there are several dog kennels
behind LAB II, where Rover can
spend a safe day while you attend
class . He will not suffer irreparable
psychological daqtage from having
his freedom limited in this fashion,
believe me.
Sincerely,
Francesca Weisser

Evergreen photographer turns snapshots into art
by Chris Wolfe
Is one picture worth a thousand
words? Photo services staff member
Margaret Stratton would say so. In
a series of her work, Stratton wrote:
"By imposing the aphorism on the
snapshot, I wish to reinforce their
common or literal meaning. At the
same time the intersection of these
two systems of communication encourage the notion of 'reading' both
photo and text with all the potentially ambivalent problems of translation and interpretation."
One image shows her mother
holding a pitchfork but her head is
not in the photo. It bears the title
"Out of Sight, Out of Mind ." In
this series, the photos were enlarged to 2 feet by 3 feet.
Stratton's photographic work
began while attending high school in
Seattle. Her parents gave her a
darkroom. With an interest in persuing photography, she said she
came to Evergreen in 1971 to look
around. "The red square was all
mud and boards, and it was pouring rain. I thought, I'm not going

Wolfe
here." However, she enrolled the
next year in the "Image and Idea"
program. She graduated in 1977
after working with slide-tape, video,
color photography, and black and
white photography. She also worked for photo-services and produced
a small book of photographs and interviews portraying the people and
places of four small towns near here.
Stratton then packed up her camera
and moved to the Southwest where
she received and MFA and a
Master's from the University of New
Mexico. She studied photography
history and criticism. It was there
that she became interested in the
snapshot, she said.
"I'm interested in the accident in
art, and snapshots have the property of accident. Many things can happen that produce various interesting
effects. The photographer could
think this is ruined and throw it
away, but interesting things can happen because of the collision between
naive amature vision and
technology," she said .
Stratton is working on a series entitled "Self Portrait With Other Peopie." The "other people" include
family and friends, but she also uses
strangers. She says that the
background helps defme a snapshot,
so she travels to scenic places and
sets up her tripod amidst familiar
"tourist traps" sl'ch as the redwoods. Then she invites other people into her pictures .
Stratton has been an Evergreen
Stratton has had two one-woman
shows of her photographs in Albuquerque and is currently at work on
a piece entitled "Graph of a Relationship." She will be giving a talk on
the snapshot at 7 p.m. March 12 at
the University of Puget Sound.

Big Juan 's Tropical Fantasy
by Paul Pope
Bob Haft, photographer and
curator of the Evergreen Slide
Library, recently visited with the Expressive Arts program "Hard Country," and presented slides of his
work. Each series of photographs
was arranged chronologically to illustrate the progress and maturation
of his medium.
"Hard Country" faculty Susan
Aurand and Paul Sparks have attempted to instill upon their students
the importance of working in series
to enhance the prolific quality of
their work. Haft is one of the several
visiting artists who have reinforced
this in their presentations.
Haft attended graduate school at
WSU in Pullman where he studied
pre-med while simultaneously experimenting with photo silkscreen.
Haft said his turning point was when
he decided to manifest his avocation
into his vocation. His early subject
"That one image that will take you
to the top, Bob."
Haft's candidness in regard to his
work was evident by his commentary
over what worked and what did not.
He began experimenting to achieve
a Mondrian-type photo. Turning to
hand-colored neon in black and
white prints, he attempted to
disorient the viewers and allow them
to be uncertain of what they saw.
Each direction in his work influences its successive ones, and
likewise he said his life is influenced
by his images. One theme leads to
the next. A series on paranoia led to
photographing media imagery of the
ideal woman. This led to the ideal
in environment becoming a series of
murals, then murals in lal,llldromats:
mountain wilderness, ocean OO;iches,
etc ...
Later, Haft was moved to
photograph ornate movie theater
lobbies and sidewalks, a series entitled "Walk This Way." Here Haft
talked about juxtaposition of images
"The camera can be an emotional
buffer between you and the.world,"
Haft said. relating that the subjectivity of his work brought him full
circle.
In presenting his good and bad
work, Haft was instructional to his
audience while showing progression
and change. Working in series is
where an artist can find direction
and the motivation to keep producing art.

or the yin-yeng of photography:

another and his lens.
Haft came to Evergreen in 1979 to
occupy the staff position he still
holds. He said he came to realize
more intimately here that his work
is an evolutionary process and not
a revolutionary one. Using the example of portraits of his own children,
Haft insisted that art is right out

ground.
Haft's vision does not end there.
A series of partially toned prints of
brick walls with words and trees
were dubbed "Ubriquitous." He
cited the influence of the charcoal etchist ~eurlit.
Haft explained that he could not
divorce himself from formalism and
that it was now an unconscious part
of his work. "This series is rigid
linear work, but not a linear process," he said.
After finishing graduate school,
Haft taught at the University of California. He said he felt an urge there
for his work to really take off. Haft
said he thought that the sunlight in
Northern California was so !.mique
that he resumed his "Ubriquitous"
series; exemplifying that part of
working in series is learning not only to know when to end it, but when
to revive it.

Haft's surrealism inspired by Warner Bros cartoons
matter were simple landscapes .
"This work was a priming of the
well," said Haft, inferring this as a
catalyst to draw future work from
itself.
Haft captured his fascination for
words in photographs of signs,
billboards and buildings. Tracing his
advancement, he showed how this
led him to consider the possibility of
alleys. Soon an instructor forced him
into using color; Haft said he did
this reluctantly. He explained he has
a passion for black and white and
the value of shadows, so his prints
had minimal color.
Born in Walla Walla, Haft accredited Warner Bros. cartoons and
their jibes at his home town for his
"surrealistic outlook on life." He
said as a child he believed his town
was inhabited by cartoon characters
as well as people, and this surrealism
was faithfully applied to his art. He
told of "flying dreams" while in

year, Stratton taught for the
Washington State Arts Commission
at various schools in the state.
They asked her to show her
work to the students. She said she
found the self portrait series accessible to them . "They loved it," she
said, because it was something they
could relate to. "It crosses the line
between art and non-art, and I think
that's a much more interesting
ground for speculation than 'art
photography,''' she said.
While at that school she taught the
students how to make pin-hole
cameras. She also taught "seeing
seminars" to students at the University of Puget Sound. This does not
seem unusual, for her future plans
are to teach full time.

Strewn all around, and white as eggs.
All around outside I found hundreds of tracks
Thousands maybe, from the swamp and back .
But they weren't the tracks of no gators or dogs,
These tracks were made by thousands of frogs!
As fast as I could I rushed back to town,
And contacted an Indian to help track these frogs down .

It was much too quiet when we got back to town,
No cars on the streets , no one around .
No 'one on Mainstreet, not even a dog.
'Oh no,' I thought 'It must be the frogs!'
Whi le I was thinking this thought in my mind,
Thousands of frogs snuck up from behind
We quickly ran back to the truck,

We knew then what we had to do,
So we drove around town and squashed them to goo.
