Native American Studies discussed at meeting
by John Kaiser
The debate over Native American
Studies at Evergreen continues. On
Monday, May 5, President Olander
and Vice President and Provost
Patrick Hill listened and responded
to concerns of some student and
faculty that the Native American
Studies program is being destroyed.
Proposed changes, affecting the
program, have heightened some
students' concerns that Evergreen is
becoming more like a traditional
state college.
At present, the program meets
only on Mondays;and attendance is
not required. Facu lty do not set any
formal requirements for students.
The deans have asked Native
American faculty, David Whitener
and Lloyd Colfax to teach in coordinated studies programs outside of
Native American Studies. "I think
it would change the nature and focus
of the program. It's highly unlikely
that it would become more conventional," Whitener said.
President Olander cited several
reasons that the administration is examining the program. Six months
ago Olander received a letter from
the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)
demanding he respond to charges,
brought by graduates of the Native
American Studies program, that the
program was seriously lacking in
quality. The agency threatened to '
cut all federal aid to the college induding financial aid to students, if
Olander did not respond to the
charges.
The severity of the letter prompted
Olander to look into the Native
American program. In his response,
he firmly backed the program and
it's values, and has heard nothing
more from the BIA.
But the program has come under
attack from within the college both
from faculty and students. Hill said
a majority of faculty hold 'the pro-

President and students meet
by Maggie Murphy
President Joe Olander and a
room full of students got right down
to the issues Wednesday, April 30 in
a long awaited President Student
Forum.
First, student Jeanine Corr submitted 850 signatures on a petition to
make Evergreen a sister college to
the University of EI Salvador.
Olander responded by collecting the
documents and telling students if
there were no legal probl~ms he
would support the motion after conferring with the board of trustees.
Next, student Debra Groning
launched into a lengthy list of questions. She explained that eight men
are slated to speak at graduation
ceremonies this spring, six of them
White. No women are on the list.
"Why are no women scheduled to
speak?" she asked. "How aware is
the institution of different cultures
when the faculty retreat was scheduled during Passover?" she asked.
"What does an alternative education
mean to you?" was another question. Finally she asked, "Why didn ' t
you attend the childcare 'and Native
American Studies- rallys?"
Olander responded by stating he
had been involved in a retreat last
week that had been scheduled three
months in advance. He said he just
that [Wednesday) morning learned
of the commencement speaker inequity. He said when he arrived at the
college last year he assumed it was
his duty to choose a commencement
speaker. He soon learned there is a
committee to choose speakers . He
said he would look into the problem.
In response to what he feels an
alternative education is, Olander
stressed he had given over 340
speeches promoting Evergreen as a
model for quality higher education.
He said he would challenge anyone
who thinks he is trying to make
Evergreen into anything but
Evergreen.
Olander expressed embarrassment
about the recent artide in Time
magazine plugging him as an offbeat, zany guy who Ii kes to parade
around in a Darth Vader outfit. "I
was interviewed for five hours. I
can' t control the media," he said.
Olander felt he was being pointed
at as a cause of Evergreen's trend
toward conservatism. "Our
challenge is not that Evergreen will
become more mainstream but that
w,e're a publicly sllpported alternative college. You don't have to
worry about me , you have to worry
about the region," he warned .
A student asked Olander to' address Native American Studies
issues, and comment on what he will
do about the program and David
Whitener's position as faculty
coordinator.
He declined to address the issue
and said, "I don't want to discuss
David Whitener. People on this
campus have been sloppy in discussing personnel matters," he explain·
ed . He is scheduled to talk to the
Life Compositions program Mon day, he said.
An angry student asked why an $8
million gymnasium seems to be an
administrative priority.
"I'm uncertain," Olander replied.
He said it's important to provide
an alternative recreation area for the
student body. He said by giving the
greater Olympia community access
to it "good will" would be generated
and possibly more public support for
the college.
Some students feel a weight room,
handball courts, tennis courts, a
basketball court and possibly the
best swimming pool facility in
Washington is enough to offer to the
public, said one student at the
Forum.
Another student put it this way :
"With cuts in academics, an $8
million gym is a lUXury we can't
afford."

Pougiales as she stood up out of the
wheelchair in which she'd just spent
the whole day. Her expression of
awe and amazement accurately
reflects the feelings of the other four
administrators and staff who, last
Tuesday, also spent their day confined in wheelchairs .
President Joe Olander, Media
Secretary Jean Eickhold, Director of
Student Activities Mike Hall, Dean
of Enrollment Services Arnaldo
Rodrigues, and Academic Dean
Pougiales participated in this event
as part of the Physically Challenged Awareness Day. This day was
sponsored by the Disabled Student
Group in order to promote
awareness and understanding of
physically challenged individuals.
"[ thought the impact was incredible," said Hall. He felt people's
"age I
When Olander was asked about
the Longhouse project he quickly
took the opportunity to correct a
misunderstanding.
"Eight months ago I said the
Longhouse Project was an example
of how private fund-raising was a
bad idea. People interpreted this as
me not being in favor of the project," he said. "This is not true; I'm
all for a Longhouse," Olander
explained.
"By combining the Longhouse
project with the upcoming
Washington state centennial ce[ebrations, Evergreen could probably
receive funding from the state. I
recommended this five months
ago," Olander said.
Joseph Waterhouse, a student
with a longstanding involvement in
the project, was upset by Olander's
words. He said, "Twice I've heard
the administration say this. I'm
upset because the Native American
programs and Longhouse Committce are not being talked to on this
matter. "
Waterhouse said he had also suggested the project be funded as part
of the centennial celebration, and
that those involved in planning this
celebration work with the
Longhouse Committee as well as the
Evergreen administration on this.
Olander and Waterhouse set a
time to get together to discuss these
ideas further.
. The next major focus was on
childcare. Jack Daray, Executive
Assistant of Policy and Budget
Director, attended the Forum and
emphasized the importance of maintaining "a consistent dialogue with
the legislature." He said his job was
to deal with the legislature and
"final decisions were up to Olander
and his three vice presidents. "
Because the capital outlay budget
[the total 1987-'89 institutional
budget) has not been determined or
prioritized, it was unclear just where
the money for childcare would come
from and where it was on the
priorities list.
Many of the students at the forum
felt the chitdcare problem was too
urgent to wait for this budget to be
made, and instead should be dealt
with immediately.
One student asked if the Advisory
Board was not supposed to help set
budgetary priorities. He added that
-- although students and staff submitted delegates' names for that
board to the president at the end of
last quarter -- he had heard the faculty failed to meet the deadline set by
Olander, and had only last week
submitted their delegates' names.
Many students at the Forum saw
this as another example of the process not working for them.
Male speakers selection questioned
by Maggie Murphy
Eight commencement speakers are
scheduled for this year's graduation
ceremony. All are men; six are
White, one is Native American and
one is Hispanic. Some students,
outraged by this inequity, are seeking an immediate solution.
Several students approached .I udy
Huntley, assistant to the dean for
Registration and Records, after they
learned of this all-male program
Huntley
contacted
Arnaldo
Rodriguez, dean of Enrollment Services, after meeting with the concerned students.
Rodriquez then met with st udents
Debra Gronning, Laurie Clapp,
Marin Christensen, and Jody Underwood, and explained there are no
women scheduled to speak because
of an oversight in the selection
process.
That process consists of several
separate
committees,
each
nominating a speaker from each of
several different groups of people:
undergraduates, graduates, faculty,
and guest speakers. Because each
committee makes its nominations
autonomously , Rodriguez saw the
all male selection as an unfortunate
coincidence, Christensen said.
" In the future we will be more
careful," Rodriguez said .
The students were unsatisfied with
this, and proposed to make a list of
solutions.
In another meeting between the
~ame group these suggestions were
made: I) inform guest speaker Jim
Corbett (Organizer for Sanctuary,
and El Salvadoran Refugee Program) of the problem and hope he
would step down, and 2) add a
female student and a female faculty
member to the program .
Rodriguez said he would not con-
'.
sider withdrawing Corbett ' s invitation, but he would think about calling him to explain the situation. He
was uncertain about inviting an additional guest speaker, he said he
didn't think that would be appropriate since Corbett would then
have to share the stage.
Rodriguez' responses prompted
students to look into how current
scheduled speakers had becn
selected, particularly the guest
speaker. They learned that out of 41
nominated
guest
speakers
(nominated by the Evergreen community) 35 were men and six were
women . Ursula LeGuin, auther of
"City of Illusions: The Altered" was
nominated more than once.
Rodriguez selected Corbett with
President Olander's stamp of approval. He chose Corbett in light of
the 1986 graduation gift of aid for
the restoration of the University of
El Salvador's library.
I n another committe student Paul
Gallegos, the undergraduate
speaker, was selected. Out of five
students, three women and two men,
both a man and a woman were
selected as finalists . Approximately
eight students voted and Gallegos
was selected . Because the student
speaker vote took place on a
Wednesday, attendance was low .
Many students were in other
meetings.
Christensen said, "1 was in three
meetings that day. I'm an S&A
Board member, and I had to leave
the S&A meeting early to go to
another. I can't be at all meetings to
main tain people's awareness."
The remaining speakers are: the
President of the Alumni Association , a Masters of Environmental
Science Graduate, two graduation
committee members and President
Olander.
In the last meeting with the
students, Rodriguez suggested he
might: [) add a female graduate
speaker, 2) add a female faculty
speaker, 3) request the Alumni
Association reselect and choose a
female.
"This feels like we're back in the
60's and a little 'color' is being added as an afterthought to solve inequity. In this case it's women as the
afterthought," Clapp said.
On April 30 Clapp met with President Olander to inform him of the
issue. Clapp said Olander realized
the "process" was reasonable but
the "product" was not. "The process is not working for minorities or
women," Clapp said.
In a bulletin for graduation updates released after the speaker complaint, Rodriguez discussed the selection of Corbett. "We believe that his
work with the Sanctuary movement
eminently qualifies him to address
the class theme of 'Taking Risks, '"
he said.
Clapp said she sees people focusing on Central America, which from
this distance is a safe risk. "Central
America is a good cause, but you'll
be burned at the stake for thinking
otherwise." For someone to say
"We've made a mistake" is a big
risk right here and now at Evergreen,
she added.
Both Christensen and Clapp feel
there is a need to take such risks in
our immediate environment in order
for "diversity" to become a practice.
At press time, the outcome of the
speaker issue was unknown.
Regardless of solutions, some
students are feeling Evergreen's
committment to diversity is in word,
and not in deed because of ignorance
and a lack of awareness throughout
the community .
reactions to those who were in
wheelchairs made the event" a consciousness raising experience for
everybody," he said. Other reactions
from participants were that
everything took longer than usual,
and that the most difficult obstacle
to overcome was opening doors.
Eickhold realized th'at if she were
a permanent chair-user, "Everything
would have to be rearranged,
rethought, rep[anned. · It would
mature my children real quickly."
President Olander stated that the
alternate world-view this experience
provided was very beneficial to him.
By the end of the day, he said, "My
hands were sore, but my soul felt
better. "
[n addition to the "wheelchair for
a day" activity, a workshop on
"Changing
Attitudes"
was
facilitated by Affirmative Action
Officer Margarita Mendoza de
Sugiyama, and a lunchtime discus-
by Todd D. Anderson
Awareness and sensitivity towards
the physically challenged is important, for they are people, and should
be treated as such. As Mendoza de
Sugiyama pointed out, for those of
us who are able-bodied, disability is
only an accident away.

"Citizen-Dip[omats in the Soviet
Union" provided a much different
perspective of the Soviet Union than
is usually found in America.
The five member pane.1 spoke Friday, May 2 at the Capital High
School Auditorium in Olympia
before approximately 100 people.
They represented a group of 80
American citizen-diplomats who
went to Moscow and Leningrad last
January for I [ days. One of the
panelists, former Evergreen
employee Betsy Bidwell, also went to
Russia last summer as part of the
Russian Studies group ' from
Evergreen.
The remaining panelists were Dr.
Richard Schneider, Chancellor of
the World Peace University in
Portland; Seattle psychiatrist John
Bucher; Seattle High School student
Mark Van Sickle and Barbara Gilles
of Olympia. In addition, Evergreeo1
Russian Studies faculty member
Thomas Rainey served as
moderator.
The concept of "citizendiplomats" was explained by a
IS-minute videotape presentation.
Citizen-diplomats differ from
tourists in that their purpose was to
open avenues to peace between the
United States and the Soviet Union.
Rather than being negative in their
approach, the citizen-diplomats
focused on the positive aspects of
Russian society. Many references
were made to people-to-people con-
tact. Accounts of experiences with
the Russian people were uniformity
positive and concerns for world
peace were particularly. stressed.
"Peace is very important to the Russian people, as the average Russian
citizen has lost a relative in a war,
whereas barely one qua'r ter of all
Americans have had a similar experience," said Gilles.
The question of human rights or
lack of them did come up and
Bidwell replied, "The Soviets believe
they have freedom from unemployment, hunger and lack of health
care." Schneider explained it as a
trade-off between security and personal freedom. "What they may
lack in individual rights they feel are
compensated for in personal wellbeing . "
Most panelists also explained that
they saw many practices of individual freedom. "Russia is
undergoing a religious rennaissance," said Bidwell, as she gave
a description of heavy church attendence while pointing out that it
is still discouraged by the government. Gilles also pointed out that
while there are many official rules on
picture taking, she said she had no
problems from the authorities when
she was taking pictures.
Several aspects of Soviet society
were compared favorably to life in
the United States. Besides full
employment and free health care,
Schneider indicated that access to
higher education was based on learning potential and not financial

The much heralded and anticipated Steam Tunnel and Central

14, 1986. This tour will begin at the
Central Plant, traverse the far flung
edges of this mysterious underground [abyrinth, and bring the
intrepid explorers unharmed once
On Campus :
again above ground in the familiar
surroundings of Lab II. The tour
will last about one to one and a half
hours.
Those who have ever been curious
about what is going on down under,
and what it is that makes the campus buildings as warm, lighted and
as liveable as they are, this tour will
tell all about it. See the steam pipes,

Busher said that there is a shortage
of material goods, "but it is much
better than it used to be." Van Sickle
confirmed the common perception
that consumers have to wait in long
lines to purchase goods. Duane
Anderson, a viewer who went on the
Evergreen trip, pointed out that the
long lines are a compromise to
achieve full employment. "The
reason is jobs; in Russia a consumer
must first ask one clerk what the
price of a particular good is, then go
to another clerk to get the item and
the sump pumps and (just maybe)
the fearsome tunnel snakes.
The tour group will be led by a
trained member of the Facilities
staff, who will almost certainly
know how to get everyone out of the
tunnels once he has gotten everyone
in. Experienced tunnel snake
handler, Charles Learned, will be
only a radio call away should he be
needed.
Since the response to this biennial
event will be staggering, all those
who plan to attend should assist
planning by dropping off a note with
their name on it to the Facilities office in Lab II (where the carpool and
the key shop is), or mail it to Lab
II, room 1254. Those who don't

then to a third to pay for it; in the

The panelists indicated they felt
the Russian government wanted
arms control. "The arms race is a
tremendous drain on the Soviet
economy and keeps them from being as productive as they would like
to be," said Busher. Schneider stated
a necessary prerequisite in any thawing on United States and Soviet relations: "We have to learn friend ship," he said.

sharply with those shown at the

Thursday at TESC and Friday at

Greenerspeak:
Do you think the TESC administration is racist?
Bruce Hoef.: I would have to make
a hypothetical statement. If
Evergreen is going to be unique in
having Native American programs,
th en it should support those program s fully. I don't think you ca n
do it halfway, or you're kidding
yourse lf and the community.
Rachel Gendell: [ am rather leary of
pinning such labels on the administration alone. I am painfully
aware that the firing of faculty is
really the result of. behind the door
poitics. Remember, it is just as racist
not to fire a person based on race as
it is not to hire. Based on what I have
seen and heard, it appears the charge
of racism has some validity.
Jana Lussier: I think "racist" is too
harsh a word. There are definitely
some matters towards educating the
admin istration on the issue of
minority students and culture.
Ethnocentric might be a better term;
most of the Evergreen administration have grown up in a different
culture and they don't understand
Evergreen yet.
Ann Tyler: If this is true, it's a
shame because I think the school
tradition has always promoted diversity of culture and race . The
Evergreen way is everyone has an
equal chance, and people aren't
judged by color, creed or religion .
Brian Rich: "Racist" is a broad
brush to paint with. I would suggest
we all read "Blasts from the past."
These articles, including the current
ones abo ut Native American
Studies, illustrate that all the
strategic planning in the world can't
replace honest dialogue and honest
solutions.
Letters
report states "there has never been
evidence of racially-motivated or
widespread killing of Miskitos" (p .
50). In fact, it goes on to say, in 1982
some 60 Moskitos were killed in
Contra attacks.
Tansey says the Nicaraguan
government is unwilling to "compromise" on the Contadora Peace
Plan . In truth, the U.S. government
is unwilling to support a negotiated
peace in Nicaragua . In a lett er to the
editor of the New York Times on
May 12, 1986, the Nicaraguan Ambassador to the United States,
Carlos Tunnermann B., wrote,
"Total suspension of all U.S. aid to
the contras would remove the major
obstacle that obstructs progress
toward the subscription of the Contadora peace agreement, which provides for the removal of all foreign
military bases in Central America,
would suspend threatening military
exercises in the region and forbids
subversion of one state by another."
The lack of substantiation for
Tansey's comments is disturbing. It
is even more disturbing that the
editor of the CPJ would allow (or
demand?) an uninformed writer to
insert his own thoughts in a news article to create an opinion piece.
Reagan's attempts to get funding for
the contras has lead to much false
information to the public going
through the U.S. press. I am sorry
to see that the editor of the CPJ
would contribute to the perpetuation
of disinformation.
Kim Busselle
. We still hear: "You're not reaJly
going to Greece, are you!"
The world is full of terrorism.
Whether in Libya, Berlin, Seattle or
Olympia : terrorism has become a
fact of modern life. Though the
statistical probability of anyone in
the United States or Europe being attacked is astronomical, the fear is
real. Fear is the chief product of
terrorism.
Fear of terrorism must not make
us hostages on our own campus. We
must be prudent and vigilant but
never faint-hearted. To be cowed by
terrorists is to reward them .
Our program is student work: to
investigate the classical world and
the origins of democracy and
Western civilization, to apply this
knowledge as citizens and to make
ours a better civilization. This is our
work and responsibility as citizens
and students.
After leaving London's Heathrow
all our travel will be on ordinary surface travel -- buses, trains, ferry
boats and private cars and nearly all
of our work will be in ruraJ areas,
hardly targets for terrorism.
We always stay in blue-collar or
rural neighborhoods far from glitzy
high spending American travellers.
Because we travel as inconspicously
as ordinary Europeans and spend
our time doing our academic work,
this year's program should not have
any unusual dangers. We have four
spaces left !

Writer confuses
reader
To the Editor:
Ben Tansey's article "U .S . creates
conllict in Nicaragua" is confusing.
It looks as if comments were added
[by Tansey) as an afterthought in
order to change the nature of the
story from a news article to an opinion . However, the author never
substantiates his thoughts on what
Campbell said; the article isn't quite
an opinion piece, nor is it simply
news coverage. The quotation marks
around the headline are themselves
confusing, and unnecessary; the
headline is not a quote from the
article.
The aforementioned comments
create confusion on the second, and
more important, level. The last
paragraph states, "Campbell also
denied that the Sandinista armies
have massacred the Mosquito Indian
tribes that live in Nicaragua. This
assertion is doubtful as well. " In July 1985 Americas Watch (a Western
hemisphere human rights "watch

CPJ staff gets
hardy HOO-RAH
I think the CPJ staff deserves a
hearty hoo-rah! There's been a
noticeable improvement in the quality of the news coverage. They're digging into the campus issues that are
on people's minds with a distant
enough perspective to be useful to
the rest of us caught up in it all. The
"Blasts from the pasts" have been
especjaJly timely of late. Good
poetry.
It's hard work I'm sure. And probably thankless for the most part.
Well -- THANKS FOLKS!

To the Editor,
I would like to give my opinion of
the rally on daycare here at
Evergreen. I agree with most of what
was said but cannot go along with
"demand no. 2." I regret that Sue
Roden felt she could speak for
everyone at Evergreen concerning
the dismissal of Virginia Brian.
I don't think it's a matter of one
individual's problem. Anyone put in
that position will have someone who
thinks the job can be done better. In
my opinion, Ms. Brian cared for my
daughter as well as any daycare
could.
In the future I would hope that
Ms. Roden speak to issues, not personal views.

Spokane's Bloomsday run draws 48,000
by Mikel Olsson and Nancy Harter
For runners in the Pacific Northwest, Bloomsday is given the
rc" crance of a pilgrimage to Mecca.
·\ ftcr all, it is the second largest rUIl nin g cvent in the U.S. o f A. (Bay to
Breaker, in San Fran cisw is Ilumero
uno).
Anu judging from the hype and
hoopla, Bloomsday has become
Spokane' s raison d' etre.
Thi s year' s Bloomsday broke all
previous record s wit hover 48,000
e ntrie~. Of these, better than 45,000
fini , hed the 12 kilometer (7.46 mile)
( o ur se in the allotted three hours.
To call Bloomsday a "race" or
even a "run" i, a misnomer; except
for those few elite runners (or
shamcless liars) who lead the annual
procession.
Those of us who realistically computed our estimated finish times,
and were according ly seeded,
became lost in a mass of c hi Idren,
grandparents, and various others out
for a pleasant Sunday stroll.
We finished our first (and last)
Bloomsday in approximately one
hour and 22 minutes, whi~h is nut
an orfi~ialtime since it took over 8
minutes just to get past the starting
lin e after the gun. Only about half
our time was spent" rUllning." Even
then it was impossiblt' to set a pa~e
due to t he crush of bodies.
Most of the time it was difficult
to even break a sweat as the ~ourse
resembled an LA freeway at rush
hour on a I'riday night.
All in all 1 suppose it was worth
the 600-mile round-trip jOLtrney, if
only just to demonstrate our picty as
runners.
However, next year I think we'll
feel just as pious staying home and
running for mom.

Up against the wall
It was more than three, but less than
five years ago, when I made a conscious analysis of, and rendered a personal judgement upon, the English expression, "stuck between a rock and
a hard place ."
I felt that it was a decidedly unattractive phrase. It had come to me in
the course of idle thought, and I recall
sighing with relief that its occurence
in daily language had fallen largely into disuse.
You can imagine my horror then
when within months of my decision the
expression swept back into vogue! At
first it reared itself into the lexicon of
a few radio and TV announcers and
their guests. Soon it was to be found
in the articles of newspapers and
magazines. Before long, strangers
within my earshot were employing it
liberally, and today, even those whom
I dare call friends regress to the usage
in the course of our personal
conversations .
I think that we should ban this expression from the language and I will
tell you why. I would like to preface
my explanation, though, by stating that
though I have standards in my own use
of words , I am very amenable to the
less carefully stated comments of
others. I am not among those crusty
old perfectionists who cannot appreciate the stylist advantages of
"ain't," especially when it is mistakenly employed as a double negative. And
I do not recoil when faced with carnage
done to the language by those two
great contributors of modernistic vernacular, Computerese and psychological lingo from California. I
have Poven recently expressed to my
significant other my need for positive
feedback in our communication!
Now admittedly I still flince when the
all too common error of placing "are"
or "is" in the context, respectively, of
singulars and plurals is committed, but
here there is support en masse 'for
my distaste.
Overall, I very much encourage the
evolution of the living English
language. It is both good and healthy.
But upon the verbalization of some
dastardly situation in which the speaker
finds himself in the midst of "a rock
and a hard place," I must draw the
line. It is a sloppy and undignified expression. It is both the ugly use of
language and the images it brings to
mind that I object to. I concede that
both of these aspects are used to
sharpen the meaning of the expression, but that alone does not redeem
it. Description of something ugly or
unpleasant does not have to be
rendered at the expense of attractive
language.
Let us now consider the merits and
implications of the expression. It is of
course a metaphor. A rock is general ~
Iy regarded as a substance of formidable tenacity, a barrier that one encounters apparently while walking
through the desert or during some
other unlikely sojourn. One is held up
by a "rock" when the course one is
pursuing in social, personal or
business affairs is hopelessly inhibited
by unexpected or unconquerable
forces. In regard to this metaphorical
context though, doesn't it seem odd
that one would pursue a path carelessly until happening into a rock?
Wouldn't most people at least see the
rock from a distance, ascertain that it
is likely to become an obstacle and
steer clear accordingly? I object to the
blatantly foolish image of walking right
into a rock.
Furthermore, a rock is an offcolored, arbitrarily contoured and uncomfortable thing. Why should one
want to invoke this disconcerting concept into any but the most necessary
and practical kinds of contexts -geology class for example, where at
least we can speak also of crystals, or
walking, when it is made hazardous by
the presence of a "rock in one's
shoe"? Surely it is self-defeating.
But now we come to the exceptionally uninspired part of the phrase: "a
hard place." Just what are we to picture here? Another rock? A marshmallow gone stale? Possibly an alien
monolith from a science fiction movie?
Here our careless wanderer has only
just now run up against a rock when,
out of nowhere a ,. hard place" sneaks
up behind him, terminating his free
movement! It is a dull vision at best
-- a stucco wall maybe or a quartz coffee table . I would expect to run across
such a thing in a nightmare: a
fiercesome Jungian archetype, indicative of insecurities concerning my
self-directedness, covered no doubt
with some kind of lethal bacteria or
noxious liquid. Why ever would one
voluntarily want to describe his situation in so ugly a way as to manifest
in our minds a dusty old rock and a
satanic hard place?
I'd bet that the originator of this
phrase had in mind that the hard place
was another rock. It would sound silIy, however, to say that one is stuck
between a rock and a rock. Conceivably it is forgivable to walk into a
rock, but to get stuck between two, except perhaps during an avalanche,

casts some doubt on the mental ability of our stuck wanderer.
Both descriptively and metaphorically then the phrase fails us, adds
nothing to, and indeed detracts from
our lives . That is why it should be
banned.
But there will be those unwilling to
render the linguistic permit of "a rock
and a hard place" invalid and
nonrenewable. To them I would like to
suggest a modification. Henceforth
they could find themselves caught between a "stone and a sturdy spot." A
sturdy spot is just as awkward and imageless as a hard place, but at least
it is not linguistically offensive, has
some internal integrity and some selfassuredness. One can be confident
that though now stuck, the situation
will improve; a way out will be found.
A stone is much more poetic. All
birth signs have special stones that are
considered (by some) to be sacred; the
Philosopher's Stone was sought for
centuries through the Far East and
Europe so that it could be mixed with
other substances to produce elixirs and
transform "imperfect" metals into
"perfect" ones. One can skip stones
on a pond on those timeless afternoons spent in tranquility with special
people.
But if some diehard aficionados will
not relent, maybe there is one last consideration they will give. Perhaps they
would revert back to a different, seemingly forgotten phrase, which has practically the same meaning. Possibly in
future times, when I am no longer
stuck between the stone of despising
a particular phrase and the sturdy spot
of its overuse, they will retort against
my other objections by accusing me
of putting them "up against the wall."

as a group are paticularly vulnerable to the loss of their history. In reading ~
past issues of the CPJ it becomes clear that most of the problems facing
Evergreen have been facing the school since it's beginning. Like Sisyphus
of Greek legend we·work on the same problems each year, forget them over
the summer, and then deal with them afresh the next fall. Only our learning from the past will free us from this cycle.
There is more to be gained from the pust than just historical perspective.
There are good things that. bear repeating in the present: good writing, art,
and humor. Old CPJ's have these in abundance, and this week we would
like to share some old Evergreen humor with you. Enjoy.

June 31, 1980
What with all the riots and rebellions and just plain general discontent
and misery going around the counrty back in the early days of the college,
one can't he1p but be reassured by the new mood found to exist on campuses around the nation, including and especially The Evergreen State College. What it all means, say those in the know, is that everybody's happy .
"There are no problems here anymore," says one evercheerful Evergreen
administrator. At first we were skeptical. No problems, we asked? "No,
none," he said with a reassuring smile and a wink. "None at all. Unless
you think being one big happy family is a problem."
Drugs used to be a problem at many college campuses, so we went down
to Dorm A and asked if anyone there was having any problems with drugs .
One bleery-eyed late-riser we met told us that he never had any problems.
" Heck, it's easy, no problems at all," he said.
Elsewhere on campus the mood is similarly upbeat. On any given sunny
day on Red Square the hills are alive with the sounds of guitars and flutes
and students carrying on discussions long after classes have ended, and in
some cases before. The prevalent attitude was captured by one student,
recently returned from an exciting hike down Mt. St. Helens, who said, ., I'm
just glad to be alive."
That kind of gladness is what Evergreen is all about these days. The
school's difficulties are far behind us now, people feel, and there's nothing
so wrong here that a bit of beauty bark and a quick trip to the Counseling
Center won't make as good as new .

And on the library's third floor, amidst the ringing of telephones and
the clatter of typewriters, students, staff and administrators oversee the daily
functioning of the college's vital systems. Problems? Not here. Merely more
memo madness than you can shake a stick at.
But just to see if everyone was really happy, we dropped in on President
Dan Evans . He was out, but his secretary, Rita Grace, was working away.
" How are you today, Rita? " we asked. "Fine, just fine," she said and gave
us a big, sincere smile. Now there was one happy lady.

films of the 60's. Warhol spent a whole
day walking around New York City filming squashed insects on windows, floors,
sidewalks, and soles of shoes. The film
is never boring and is a testament to
man's superiority to insects. L.H. I, 6

Oates as a gunslinging double amputee
(both his legs are cut off from the knees

Video Company. Both Meek and
Chan are juniors.
All but one of the dancers, which
are referred to as movers, are
students; . Bruce Fogg, a graduate,
returned for the project. The other
dancers -- Libby Wood, Gretchan
Nattila, Alex Ellis, and Tory Babbitt
-- have independent contracts and
are receiving credi t through a
module, Evergreen Studio Production, set up by Bud Johansen . Chan
said the movers have been doubly
and triply booked this quarter,
"There's a shortage of dancers on
campus . "
The dancers are called movers
because they did not all have
previous experience as dancers, but
"t hey're all supra-talented," said
Chan. Chan also feels the word
"mover" has fewer connotations
and is more flexible than "dancer."
Anyway there's no dance program,
and the dance department has no
faculty, said Chan.
In adapting the video to dance,
Chan said, they had to do away with
the original story line, since telling
a coherent story requires actors. Instead the dance blends together the
images and ideas of the original
"Notes to ~he Reader," a multimedia one-hour dance, will be performed 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 14
in the Experimental Theatre. "I
don't know how to describe the
movement in this piece, I guess it's
modern experimental," said Sharon
Chan, choreographer. The dance is
an adaptation of an unnamed video
made winter quarter by Chan and
Colin Meek. Chan and Meek have
been working on the dance spring
quarter as an independent contract;
Meek put together the music with
local mUSICians, and C han
choreographed the dance .
Meek has done a number of other
musical
pieces;
Chan
cochoreographed a dance, "Tooth and
Cracks On A Cobblestone Road,"
last year, and was very involved as
a dancer her first two years at
Evergreen. Her main interest
though, she said, is video. Chan said
she felt working with video had
helped her choreograph because it
had accustomed her to seeing and
creating images inside her head.
Next year Chan will be doing an internship in San Francisco with the
W Sot RD THI.N6'-S
video.
In the dance they have eliminated
the central character, the " hero" of
the video, and are trying to suggest
the connections between past and
. present, and the many things that influence people, Chan said.
"Media influences people, parents
influence people, people of the other
sex influence people." People are
often like puppets, so many things
influence them, said Chan.
The dance uses slides and video to
communicate the impact and influence of media on modern day life,
said Chan. The dance begins with
creation, waking-up, and ends with
creation, are-awakening.
And despite a couple of problems
-- Chan sprained her ankle two
weeks before the production -- and
the possible loss of the live band
which was to play the music -- instead they will us,e a tape, Chan said
she feels the dance will be a success_

Fire and Ice in the spring
Love has no evil in mind
Just turned to sour grapes
Solid love changed faces into a flakey Valentine
No blame is part of the healing
After stealing from each other all we had
Naively, I'd do anything
To change
The poison back to wine

EAN interviews Gallery 4 manager
by Devon Damonte
Expressive Arts Network: What's
the latest from the glitzy, actionpacked, glamorous world of fine
art?
Devon Damonte: We've got a really really big show, exciting work, big
art and lots of it. Right here on the
Evergreen State College campus in
Gallery 4 (fourth floor of the library
building) we're showing a mixed
media exhibit called Four FriendsBob Haft, Linda Okazaki, Joy
Broom and Jerry Leisure-and it's
on display now through May 20.
EAN: Who are these Four Friends?
DD: The show was organized and
curated by Evergreen's own photo
instructor and slide librarian-Bob
Haft. The Four Friends all met in
Pullman at WSU as undergraduates,
and they then went on to get their
Masters of Fine Arts degrees
together at WSU in 1976. The show
reflects a 15 year friendship.
EAN: What kinds of work are
represented in the exhibit?
DD: There's over 60 pieces of eyecatching, so~l-satisfying art in the
"SlUdio conversation, " ,,!,olercolor by Linda Okazaki.
show. Bob Haft has about a dozen
black a nd white photographs dealing with themes of women and exploitation, and classical sculpture in
modern contexts, as well as four
serendipitious images of the spirit
and fears of children. Linda Okazaki
is an artist who lives in Port Townsend and is active in the Seattle arts
scene(her work was commissioned
for the 1985 Bumbershoot poster).
She has 7 huge watercolor paintings
(up to 40 by 60 inches) on display
mostly dealing with references to
historic artists-Vincent Van Gogh
and Freida Kahlo among others.
The other two friends, Joy Broom
and Jerry Leisure, happen to be
married to each other. Joy Broom
teaches at Diablo Valley College in
Pleasant HiIl, California. Her work
in the show is highlighted by a
grouping of 30 "icons" entitled
"Berliner Hund." These wall-hung
sculptures are made up of many of
Broom's own "by-products" including chewed gum, matchsticks
and beach pebbles. Jerry Leisure
teaches at WSU in Pullman and has
exhibited extensively .in Northern
California and the Northwest. He is
represented in this show by seven exquisitely textured and delicately colored wall-hung sculptu'res of wood
and oil paint.
EAN: The inquiring public wants to
know: Are these four artists really
friends or is this just another excuse
for an exhibit?
DD: Bob Haft told me a story about
their graduate days at WSU. As a
prank to tease the incoming graduate
students, Jerry Leisure and Bob initiated a bowling team called F.A.B.
(Fine Arts Bowling) which caught on
among students and became "Zen
Bowling." The score was irrelevant
because the object was to reach
enlightenment by the eighth frame.
So every Wednesday the F.A_B. Zen
Bowlers bowled alongside the other
league teams in Pullman, and eventually they documented their
escapades in a short film entitled
"The Longest Ball." This kind of a
humanist sense of humor is a strong
connecting thread ' running consistently through the work of the
four artists. The work is very diverse
and each artist uses a very different
approach to express their similar
sensibilities.
Oh yeah, they really are friends.
EAN: Do you have any special
events planned?
DD: Yes, as a matter of fact we have
a really big opening reception this
Friday evening from ~7-9 p.m. in
Gallery 4, and it will be big fun for
everyone.
Remember-Four
Friends, Gallery 4 through May 20

Bingham band bops'
The/ollowing is/rom an interview
Christopher Bingham conducted
with himself iate at night through the
CPJ'S compugraphic. Please bear
with him.
What happens when you combine
classical
pianist,
a
a
singer/songwriter, a jazz-rock drummer and traditional be-bop guitar,
sax and bass? You end up with the
unique blend of lyric fusion that
comprises the Christopher Bingham
Group.
Christopher Bingham is a soon-tobe Evergreen grad who will debut his
band 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday
May 8,9 in Experimental Theatre ..
The concert represents the culmination of his studies in composition
and performance at Evergreen." I'm
excited about the performance."
sa id Bingham after Tuesday's
"teaser" in the CAB. "We've been
in rehearsal since September, and
we 're really rcady. Some of this
material goes back five years."
The band is made up of Evergreen
students Stefan Abuan, Tim Day,
Gregg Lerner and Barbara Zelano.
Local Olympians, Steve Munger and
Eric Erler complete the back-up to
Bingham's vocals. "The lyrics are
impprtant to the music. We're much
more a concert band than a dance
band," says Bingham. "What I try
to do in my compositions is mix jazz
fusion with lyrics that communicate
a story or concept. I don't think very
many bands are doing that these
days, at least in an accessible way ."
Though Bingham considers his
music jazz fusion, those who are
moved by traditional be-bop will enjoy a good portion of the show
through Steve Munger's sax and Eric
Erler's bass. In the same breath, Tim
Day's classical piano adds a sensitive
touch to the jazz. Stefan Abuan
mi xes a lightly distorted rock guitar
sou nd into melodic jazz and R&B to
bring the rock and roll out of the
music. Barbara Zelano adds her
sultry harmonies and percussion to

Close listeners will notice the influences of loni Mitchell, Pat

Bingham, "It's hard to escape your
influences. I listen to those folks all

some similarities, but the music still

Bingham has been at Evergreen
longer than many students - on and
off for seven years. Those who are
interested .can listen to his earlier
works on three Evergeen albums and
KAOS's "Alive in Olympia" record.
One of those songs "Illumination" will be performed at the concert. "We might be persuaded to do

Upon receiving a silver-tassled
catalogue of donated items up for
bid, examination of these listings
considered "priceless" or "one of a
kind" was next. Leading down a
long hallway were tables decked out
with the variety of 6:30 p.m. silent
auction offerings .. .
That is when the First wave of
amazement struck home. Heralded
by a multitude of women who dressed for the occasion, with feathered
headbands, feather boas and velvet
hats, atop glittering outfits to match;
acquaintances old and new met and
renewed friendships. To the roar of
excitement and much laughter, a

player piano knocked out early '20s
medleys in the background.
Husbands nibb led hors d'oeuvres
and sipped on bar drinks, ever
watchful over their wives' exotic
tastes for flair and expensive luxury
gifts at a price ... well - you bid.
As this 6:30 auction was closing,
anxious bidders swarmed these
tables, awaiting the final countdown. All items for this auction have
bid sheets attached or affixed nearby. Persons desiring to bid would do
so by writing their name and bid
number, dinner table number and
amount of bid on the bid sheet.
Then, every increase of bid would
have to exceed the minimum increase
figure.
"He aced me out," stated one
woman, "I really wanted it, and he
reached right around me and signed
in his bid last.. .So, are you still playing tennis ... "
The silent auction was closed six
times during the evening as each
areas' bid sheets were filled with
names and bids.
In the event of disputes by persons
who were actively involved in the
bidding at closing, referees helped
maintain order. Adorned with turnof-the-century rounded and black
fire chief hats, the refs then directed
the bid sh~ts to a closing attendant,
who would circle the highest, and
therefore, winning bid .
Examples of some choice selections included number 414; a pith
helmet worn by Tyrone Power in the
1938 film "Suez" and by Richard
Green in "Stanley and Livingston, "
1940. Number 92 was a beautifully
designed mahogany glasstop dinette,
with two armchairs manufactured in
Olympia by G.D. Martin Furniture
Company. A beveled stained glass
window by Mansion Glass Company, a four piece Stoneware serving donated by Mud Bay Pottery, a
Fuji "Sundance" mountain bike
(Olympic Outfitters), and Braun coffeemaker with a year supply ofeoffee (Cork & Crock) were available.
Hollywood items included signed
soap opera scripts, a cowboy hat
signed by lames Coburn, and the
helmet worn by Richard Burton in
the theatrical production of "The
Taming of the Shrew."
To be a material girl.. .or a hero
to your teenager. . .lace, dried flowers
and gold ribbon from the 1985 wedding of Madonna to Sean Penn in
Malibu, California, were offered .
That particular item was auctioned
off for a $100 ! Not to mention a
cut- rose goblet from the
"Gunsmokc" set used by "Kitty"
Amanda Blake and a cashmere
Jacket worn by Lucille Ball in "I
Love Lucy."
Most Hollywood items were part
of the live auction which followed an
elegant dinner. Red roses were
everywhere.
Prominent in business and affairs
of state, this was the place for the
elite to meet. Washington state's
own Governor Booth Gardner announced the names of the 10 high
school seniors who were the
POSSCA scholarship winners during dinner.
Circa Roaring '20s signs read ,"Fully paid up police protection" and
"Do not panic during raids." Hey
now! Wooden nickels, anyone?
The POSSCA celebration is held
well. I don't know very many people who remember that one, but
folks seemed to like it when it first
came out."
