The evidence is mounting that the
national police in El Salvador are abducting and imprisoning student,
labor and church leaders rather than
killing them outright through socalled "death squads," according to
Evergreen student Sean Sinclair,
who recently spent seven days in El
Salvador.
Sinclair was part of an 82-member
delegation of U.S. citizens that was
permitted to visit some of those imprisoned, who were held without
t rial under the government's
"Decree 50."
"Decree 50" is an extra-legal
mandate which allows for the arbitrary detention of any Salvadoran
suspected of being a "subversive."
Sinclair, codirector of the Peace
and Contlict Resolution Center, will
speak about his trip 10 a.m. Thursday, May 22 in the library lobby as
part of Central America Day.
One of the prisoners with whom
Sinclair spoke is Joaquin Antonia
Caceres, a member of the Catholic
Church-sponsored Human Rights
Commission staff. Caceres was abducted by four plainclothes members
of the national police November 8,
1985. An international campaign has
been launched to press for Caceres'
release, but as yet to no avail. Julio
Cesar Valdivieso, the director of
prisons, told the delegation that he
has no jurisdiction over Caceres
because Caceres is held as a subversive rather than a criminal. Military
tribunals rather than the government; decide who will be held as
political prisoners, he said.
Particular attention has been
focused on Caceres because the

The Strategic Planning process,
which began last fall, continues with
consultations and writing periods,
where council members go over
points raised and figure out how to
incorporate them in their next draft.
At the Wednesday, May 7 consultation, faculty, staff and students
split by a:phabet into small discussion groups. Eleven people with last
names beginning with "A" and" B"
met in LIB 1406, while other groups
discussed the Starategic Planning
Council's first draft in adjacent
rooms.
As in other consultations, discussion bounced from the role of internships and contracts, to the value of
a humanities education over business
(and vice versa), to the lack of advanced level programs. Other issues
included: Should the college hire
facuIty who have no interdisciplinary background? Should the
college hire younger faculty to save
money (faculty salaries increase with
experience)? Who should the college
recruit-local adults who cannot go
to other colleges because of job or
family commitments, students
direct from high-school, or students
with specific ideals?
About 30 people came to the
consultation the next evening in Lecture Hall 3 . Issues discussed included

I I) Should the publishing policy
be concrete, or subject to change
with each academic year and new
editor?

As it stands, editorial decisions are
made by the editor, managing editor
and advisor. All final decisions are
made by the editor. This is the power
structure of nearly all traditional,
professional newspapers .
8) Do you feel this decisionmaking structure is:

A) "to prepare for publication or
public presentation"
(for this instance , correcting
grammar and spelling so that a story
is readable, and editing it for libelous
content).

10) The editor is now selected by
the Communications Board through
a process of application, interview
and selection by vote. There is a
period when students may voice their
opinions to the Com Board . The
board, which is made up of
representatives of the administration, faculty, staff, S&A Board, st udent body, community at large and
professional news media, has a total
of 11 voting members, 3 of whom
are students. Do you feel that:
adequate
A)
is
This
representation.
B) This is inadequate representation; some method of student
opinion-gathering should be devised (for instance .- but not necessarily -- printing the qualifications,
writing samples, and statemen ts of
intent of candidates in the CPJ and
conducting a "vote" by ballot, to be
taken into consideration by the Com
Board).

The meeting of the Com Board to
consider the present policy draft will
be held noon Friday, May 16 in the
board room on the third floor of the
Library Building.

California at Berkeley and a professor from Reed College flew down
to EI Salvador to protest his abduction . Hearings on the human rights
situation in El Salvador began
yesterday before a subcommittee of
the House Foreign Affairs Committee . Olympia-area Congressman
Don Bonker is a member of the
larger committee.
The trip in which Sinclair and 3
graduates of Evergreen, Amy Gray,
Beth Hartmann and David Miller,

Napolean Duarte to help pay for the

which he worked, is one of the principal groups investigating abductions, assasinations, and other
human rights violations. Caceres is
one of some 815 male political
prisoners among a total prison
population of 2025 at the Mariano
prison in San Salvador. Mariano was
built for the confinement of 900 persons, Sinclair says.
An additional 115 women political
prisoners are confined nearby at the

Ilapango prison.
Caceres told Sinclair and other
members of the delegation that after
abducting him, the police beat him,
blindfolded him and tried to strangle
him with his shirt. He was taken to
police headquarters for interrogation
and then put in a cell with another
member of the commission staff.

Express opinions on the Cooper Point Journal
Do you have an opinion you
would like to express about the CPJ?
1f you do, now is the time to make
yourse lf heard.
On May 16, there will be a
meeting of the Communications
Board to consider the rough draft of
our publishing policy. This draft was
drawn up by the CPJ advisor and
stude nt editors, and covers editorial
and advertising policy, and general
operational guide lines.
Since the CPJ is a student funded
publication, your opinion is vitally
important if the CPJ is to best se rve
studen t needs and wants. If we
receive a sufficient response to this
survey, its results will probably have
a good deal of bearing on the Communications Board's consideration
of the present policy draft.
Note: This survey is written in
multiple-choice form for the purpose
of obtaining concise and effective
results. However, if you feel that
you absolutely cannot express yo ur
opinion effectively by selecting A,B,
or C, please feel free to fill in
"other" with a sincere and
thoughtful response. Thank you .

some of the above, as well as: the
benefits and problems of switching
to a semester system, and the tension
between predictability and continuity in curriculum planning.
Using information taken from
these consultations, the Strategic
Planning Council will write the second draft from May 10 to May 18.
It will be distributed May 21, and
followed by the final consultation
May 28 and May 29. From May 30
to June 3 the Strategic Planning
Council will revise its draft which
will then be presented to President
Olander and the Board of Trustees.
Strategic Planning Council
chairperson Patrick Hill, who
doubles as Evergreen's provost and
vice president in charge of academic
affairs, says the final revision will be
"a set of strategic statements and
objectives confirming animating
values of the college, and indicating
general directions for growth."
According to Strategic Planning
Council member Bob Shirley, who
is also an Evergreen alumnus and
current student in the Masters of
Public Administration program,
"The Board of Trustees has said,
'Growth is not an option [for discussionJ. There will be more students at
Evergreen.' " The reasoning behind
this, Shirley says, is that Evergreen
should serve the state: enrollment
demand is up, so to be responsive to

the state, Evergreen must have more
students.
There is also the issue of unit cost.
The first draft of the Environmental Subcommittee cailed this issue
"an albatross which has been hung
around the college's neck since the
day Evergreen opened." Evergreen
costs more per student than any
other state supported four-yearhigher-e ducation institution in
Washington. This is because the
areas with the largest constant costs,
regardless of enroilment, make up a
major part of the institution's
budget. Increasing enrollment would
reduce Evergreen's unit costs, and
please the state Legislature: another
reason we must have more students.
Strategic Planning Council and
faculty member Rudy Martin says,
"Growth is one of those tough ones.
There was a period, about 1978-79
through about 1981-82, during
which the college was under enormous pressure. Growth was the
thing . We had to . There was
pressure on us ail the time .... In the
last two or three years we seem to
have turned the corner, and now
seem on the verge of growing too
fast in some people's opinions."
"My : personal stance on this,"
says Martin, "is I think we have to
grow some more, but I want to see
us do it under control, that is by

been taken prisoner the day before .
His abductors tortured him, then
took him to a car, positioned near
the commission's offices, where they
could watch as people entered and
left the building, Sinclair says. The
just-tortured man was made to name
those he recognized, though Caceres
himself was already a public figure
as the commission's press secretary.
The abduction of Caceres and his
colleague is part of a larger pattern
that saw the abduction of Univeristy of EI Salvador student association
president Antonio Quesada March
20, 1986. Quesada's capture was
known immediately only because ,
while being dragged into a car, he
shouted his name and title to
passersby, who then called the
commission.
Quesada visited Evergreen la st fall
as part of a tour Sinclair helped
organize. He was released after
Evergreen campus minister Tim
Marshall, the president of the student body at the Univerisity of

and called for peace negotiations
between th e government and the
FMLN.
According to a report prepared by
U.S. Senators Jim Leach (R-Iowa) ,
George Miller (D-Calif.), and Mark
O. Hatfield (R-Oreg.), the
Salvadoran government has increased military spending three-fold sinc~
1980. The U.S. government is paying a large share of this expense, 55
percent of EI Salvador's 1985
budget; the actual proportion of
U.S. aid devoted to the cost of th e
war is higher than U.S. government
figures commonly show. Between
the direct cost of the war and the indirect war debt, sheltering refugees
and trying to rebuild the co untry in
the face of rebel attacks on bridges
and power lines, 74 percent of U.S.
assistance goes to pay for the war.
t he sena tors say.
The econom ic costs of the war
pale beside the human co sts;
however , an estimated one million
people - a fifth of the population
- have been made refugees . Of

S&A slashes funding
to student organizations
by John Kaiser
Your favorite student organization will probably not get ail the
money it needs to operate next year
as this year's coordinators would
like .
The Student Activities Fees and
Review Board has $471,597 to give
out. That's about $20,000 less than
it gave out last year. Students pay
$70 each quarter to fund organizations. The board is now deciding
who gets what.
Forty-one student groups, including the Campus Recreation
Center. Eighty percent of S&A's
Farm and the Bike Shop, have requested over $841,000.
The cut in funds may significant-

ly affect student services when real
dollars take their tull. Step sa lary
increases, comparable worth pay adjustments and an inflation rate of
around 5 percent, make less money
travel a lot less further.
"The S&A Board has a real difficult job, they're having to take a
hard look at everything, " said S&A
Budget Director Kathy Ybarra. The
programs most in jeopardy, acco rding to Ybarra, are those that
employ professionals. They include
Driftwood Dayeare, KAOS, the
Women's Clinic, S&A Administra tion and the Campus Recreation
Center. 80 percent of S&A 's budget
goes toward salaries.

Radiation proliferates, it's a small world after all
by Tracy Gibson

by Maggie Murpby
A small group of students, staff
and faculty gathered Tuesday for the
President / Third World Coalition
Forum, with President Olander.
Facult y member, Yvonne Peterson, began the forum by introducin g a project she is currently coordinating. Native American Academy
for High Achievers will be a summer
camp program for gifted Native
American students. The program
will set a national precedent as it will
be the first program of its kind . The
camp will begin with five days at
Evergreen. After this five day period
t he kid s will spend two day s at Expo and then fini sh with two day s at
the Mak aw reservation .
Peterson said tuition will fund this
first year , but she is concerned about
future fundin g. She asked Olander
fo r ideas.
Olander recommend ed grant
writing, and referred her to Mark
Clemen s, dir ector of information.
Ola nder felt visibility could add support to the program, and said he
think s the program is a good idea .
Stud ent. Sue Starstone, said .

people in power to start explaining
themselves.' ,
Powell then handed a document
of the 1975 Board of Trustees
minutes to Olander. She said she
read in a section of the minutes on
Third World issues Evergren has a
philosophy and a commitment tG
pro-cultural diversity .
This document has a long list of
mandates established to insure
cultural diversity.
"From your point of view how do
you see cultural diversity and how do
you see it being exposed? " Powell
asked Olander.
Olander said when he first came
to the college he went through the
last four years of Board of Trustee
minutes to get an idea of how things
had gone. "Cultural diversity can
mean many things to many people.
As president, I am irritated by the
problems coming to roost. I'm interested in my capacity to correct
mistakes, but my patience is wearing thin," he said.
Powell surmised Evergreen is failing to commit to, for instance, a
Women's Studies program or a
Minorities' Studies program because

" Many people at Evergreen are
showing hostility toward campus
street people. Starstone experienced
these negative attitudes, largely due
to her candid manner. She pointed
out that the Evergreen Social Contract can be a pr.oblem. She has
known people who have gotten
"kicked out" or left Evergreen
because t heir social orientation is
different. "People who gct kicked
out at Evergreen are people who are
not liked for th eir differences," she
said.
Olander was sympathetic and expressed concern . His "street roots"
helped him relate to what she was
saying. "When I came to Evergreen
I thought I was coming to a utopia .
I have experienced a surprisingly
contrary attitude. You can't make
people love other people, but you
just try to stop them from hurting
each other," he said .
Olander revealed he uses " street
kid tactics" as a college president by
saying, "I am very candid."
Student, Nina Powell added,
"Those of us who have different
backgrounds spend a lot of time explaining ourselves. I' m ready for the

CPJ 1986-'87 editor to be selected
by Ben Tansey
Evergreen 's Communication s
Board, chaired by Allegra Hinkle,
interviewed applicants for the
. 1986-'87 position of editor of the
Cooper Point Journal Friday, May
8. The board will make a deci sion
Friday, May 16. The board focused
on questions of editorial philosophy,
decision makin g and th e access of
student groups to the paper.
The two applicants are Jennifer
Seymore and Steven Aldrich. Both
candidates are currently on the CPJ
staff.
Seymore. the current production
assistant, said she thought the present editorial decision-making process was too centralized, and if
hired. she would initiate an editorial
board to make decisions.
The paper could maintain a " professional" format while ch~'lging to
meet the needs of the public.
Seymore added, the CPJ can
broaden its scope within the body of
stories without being unethical or
posing a threat to the credibility of
the paper .
She said ad sales and students pay
for the CPJ, and feels the paper can
do without advertisements from the
army or fr om companies with
holdings in South Africa. She would
also like to see someone intern as art

coverage, his answer was to "deftne
a beat" that would keep abreast of
group issues, and to arrange the production schedule so that more
coverage could be done (the CPJ
currently does much of its production work on Wednesday, a time
when many governance meetings are
taking place at the school).

director. "Exciting things can be
done with layout," she said.
While not seeing the paper as a
public relations mechanism,
Seymore said student groups would
be encouraged to submit material.
Steven Aldrich, the current
managing editor, said he would nurture policy development in the
course of the weekly meetings. which
are currently designed primarily to
critique each week's edition . It was
important to him to avoid an
editorial hierarchy. He would
" designate a crisis person" who
would make final decisions when circumstances precluded normal
mechanisms. Later he clarified this
statement. He said he " would encourage the whole staff to designate
this person ."
Aldrich said that his experience
this year as managing editor , his
knowledge of important Evergreen
per sonnel, and th e school's
budgetary process were particularly
appropriate to the position.
Aldrich wanted a paper that
" educates its readers about the community" and enables them to know
how to react to issues organizationally. He thought the paper
should try to cover issues from as
many angles as possible .
On the matter of student group

Aldrich, asked by the board if he
had any questions, wanted to know
how the board saw the editor 's role.
A member responded, "we will hire
a decision-maker" who can cover all
points of view and accept respon sibility for what gets printed .
Michael Tobin, the current editor
of the CPJ is a member of the Communications Board . He does not,
however, get to vote when the board
chooses the next editor.

He said that his dual role enables
him to have "more conclusive
knowledge of both candidates ." He
said both applicants made a good
impression and were "succinct and
quick. "
Since many of the changes that the
candidates suggested would be
changes from the current organization of the CPJ, Tobin was asked
how he felt about the different approaches suggested by the applicants. "Anything can be improved," he said.

Under dark heavy clouds promising rain and nuclear fallout, nearly
50 people came together in Sylvester
Park to stand vigil for the radiation
victims in Chernobyl and the world.
Speakers explained nuclear reactors, offered insights into the Chernobyl accident, and discussed the
medical effects of radiation exposure . A member of the
Washington Freeze Coalition talked
about the battle at Hanford against
nuclear power plants.
"Not much can be said about
what happened at Chernobyl. There
is little reliable information," said
Dr. Tom Grissom, who worked for
15 years developing nuclear weapons
and now is a faculty member at
Evergreen. He added he is no more
inclined to accept the U.S. government's reports than the U.S.S.R.'s
reports .

Evergreen claims it includes culturaly diverse p~rspectives within programs . "Nine weeks studying white
authors and then one week studying
a minority author is hardly integrative," Powell" said .
Olander said, "The college has
never defined what is meant by
cultural literacy ." He said he would
like to make sure a lot of people
from different cultures are on the
staff, faculty and in the student
body.
"There's a lot of work that has to
be done here . With the exception of
personnel decisions, it's going well,"
Olander said. In the Faculty Handbook, the 'president has no hiring or
firing power. "That will change as
of Wednesday," he said.
Later in the forum Olander said
the president actually has had firing
power, but has never used it.
Another woman said that in the
current Strategic Planning reports,
the Hispanic population is never
referred to, and yet is one of the

to show failure of Soviet
technology," he said. "We should
not take this to mean the technology
of the Soviets is less superior and
take comfort in the reliability and
superiority of U.S. equipment."
He feels U.S. containment vessels
make U.S. plants safer, but he cautioned, "as long as we build nuclear
power plants, we have chances for
accidents." Studies have predicted
one major nuclear accident every 20

years. "We will have to decide if the
benefits outweigh the hazards," he
concluded.
"Remember the peaceful atom?"
began speaker Carol Woods,
member of the executive committee
of the Hanford Oversight Commission and Hanford coordinator of the
Washington Freeze Coalition .
Although our government originally promised atoms used for peaceful
commercial energy would not be used for weapons production, Woods
told the a'udience, a plant is now being built in Hanford to reprocess
commercial fuel into weapons-grade
plutonium.
A 1982 law makes it illegal to turn
commercial fuel into weapons-grade
plutonium, Woods said, "except
there's a loophole." Once the
Department of Energy buys the fuel ,
it's DOE owned fuel and it is legal
to turn DOE owned fuel into
weapons-grade plutonium .
Evidence exists that other countries have begun this process also;
countries that make nuclear power,
but don't yet have the bomb. If
unstable countries have the
capabilities to make nuclear bombs
the chances are increased for nuclear
terrorism, Woods said.
Dr . Ed LaClergue, an Olympia
physician and a member of Physicians for Social Responsibility, talked about the medical effects of
radiation. He said normal

An annual placement report conducted by The Evergreen State College sho~s that the pl~cement rate

to an increasingly depressed employment market.
"One strong reason for this year's
decrease in employment is that the
majority of our graduates have
chosen to work in public sector fields
_ namely social services and the environmental sciences _ where funding cutbacks are at an all-time
high."
Increased accuracy is another factor behind the statistics. Weston and
her staff put extra effort into gathering information this year. In addition to the annual survey her office
always sends out to alumni in the
spring, Weston also sought out more

than 50 alums who did not respond
t? t.he su~vey. The result was a

It's also noteworthy that our

As for the future, Weston says she
and her staff will continue to work
closely with Evergreen freshmen and
sophomores, encouraging them to
think about long range goals and options . Despite economic conditions
and a tight job market, she adds that
"Evergreeners continue to compete
successfully with other graduates
throughout the country."

Cultures clash between Evergreen promise 'and reality
by Linda M , Upshaw
Managing to synthesize one's way
t h ro ugh the mire and dirth of

Today there ex ists such a per vas ive, overw helming attitude of
co mplacency, mediocrity a nd apathy
that it promises to stifle. negate and
undermine the very ratio na le for our
academic effor ts . The quest ion s

no alternative to entering a work
force where the profit motive seems
to be the overriding issue, where
non-profit organizations, individuals
that are highly flanked by their
arousal of injustice, of excluded
groups, freedom of choice, need for
new, fresh progressive leadership,
and new models of living are faced
with the grim realities of GrammRudman and the rapidly escalating
tensions on the international scene?
It saddens me deeply when I am
to realize our institution which I was
attracted to as a person who is not

journeyed 3,000 miles to attend, promi ses promote s and I quote (from
t h e humaniti es section in the

of the social, political, technological

may function as social agents . We

usefulness and limits of outdated
models and begin to identify new
more purposeful ones . We must
identify cycles of stability, and I
maintain most importantly, develop
mentoring, negotiation, conflict
mediation, stress management and
consultation skills.
I am appalled that a college

to entice ethnic people from all
cultures , from all economic
backgrounds and age groups, to a
place where they are stifled, compa red, and shut ou!.
As a product of the '60s, [ did not,
have not and will not buy into

other men and women, private, and
public institutions, and the gods; and
attempts to imagine and make new
relationships and new societies. "
Do the writers of this catalogue
even realize what they are alluding
to? Perhaps a more accurate description should read, the attempl at
competency . of multi-cultural environments, explorations of diverse
ethnic backgrounds as a means to
determine how they can fit in, the
development of writing sty les that do
not suggest who you are and your intentions, but just renders experience.
Frankly, I find all of this rather boring and out of tune with what society is now demanding of all its
inhabitants.
I propose the following: the
development of the capacit y to
recognize those factors that are inherent in our times, the capacity to
change (if poss ible), to survive. to
tra nsfo rm, to make available a process to co nstru ct a model of the individual. to shape, define , clarify
his /he r own belief system s, to iden -

mediocrity, complacency and outdated modes of co-optation. Though
I am be leagued and inundated with
all of this. I am convinced that the
crises we are facing are both a problem and a challenge. I have seen
members of my race come from the
back of the bus to the front of the
space shuttle, and we must now
begin to look to other cultures also
as. models of a "new" authority . For
no one can speak of a vision for
worldwide equality and opportunity when some of its members are left
to outmoded definitions.
The '60s and '70s, in my opinion,
were all about isolating differences
as a means of enriching the whole of
humanity, birthing people into the
world that neither exploit, nor take
for granted other's values, modus
operandi, nor lead eccentric egocentrictic isolated dichotomized
existences (unless by choice). but are
ready. willing and able to take to
task all types of segregation and exploitation . We are at the crossroads.
When will the journey begin?

(title) Rose resigns

June 19, 1974

June 10, five days after the College Activities Fund DTF completed
its report, Assistant Director of Student Services AI Rose submitted his
resignation to the S&A Fees Review
Board, charging that "the administrators are still stealing student
funds." Following is the text of
Rose's resignation.
In Ihe last jew months, we have
opened a lot oj eyes in the Evergreen
community. The admimstrators are
stealing student fees, but a lot more
students are aware oj il now. The
problem I have is it seems so obvious
10 me Ihal students should say whal
happens to student fees Ihat I
assume it is obvious to everyone else.
That is a false assumption.
Recently, my supervisor brought
it 10 my attention thai my time and
energy as an Evergreen employee are
misdirected. I should not create so
many waves. I should take my concerns 10 him and he will handle (hem
for me. I should not go over his
head.

I remember a time 01 Evergreen
when adminis tralOrs did nOI jeel a
need to be comjortable in their jobs.
And when people said the hell wilh
organizational charts. Ij you ha ve a
problem, see Ihe person thai can
help you.
I still .believe in Ihe ideals on which
Evergreen was eSlablished, bUI nOI
on Ihe reality which il has become.
And I cannol compromise my values
to Ihe poinl 10 which I have been
requesled.
'.
I ask Ihal Ihis leller serve as my
resignation ejjective July I , 1974. I
will stay around ajter Ihal ij
necessary for hiring or training of a
replacement. I write Ihis leller to you
because, in my mind, you pay my
salary. It 's too bad you can 'I also
supervise my actions as yo ur
employee.
I don't in lend to leI what I've
slarled die. Afler leaving Evergreen
I will be getting in louch with
legislators wilh whom I have contacl
to let them knuw what's happening
in regards 10 S&A jees. And I hope
to spend some lime Ihis summer
p reparing a workshop oriental ion

The College Activities Fund
Disappearing Task Force (DTF) has
completed is study of the use of student Services and Activities Fees,
and has issued a report summari zing its findings . The DTF, which was
called together in an April 2 memo
from Administrative Vice President
Dean Clabaugh, addressed the
eleven basic "proposed actions "
contained in Clabaugh's memo , but
failed to make any recommendations
concerning an important proposal
from the Services and Activities
(S&A) Fees Review Board "to
redistribute the authority/ responsibility for allocation of Services and
Activities funds ."
The May 28 S&A Board proposal
to the DTF - drafted by A ss istant
Director of Campus Activities Al
Rose, and adopted unanimously by
the Board - stated, in part, "We
feel that the present (allocation) process excludes students from providing input into decisions regarding
the use of S&A fees."

The Governor 's Budget for the
1975-77 biennium eliminated fun ding for non-comparable items such
as the Driftwood Day Care Center,
Women 's Clin ic, Recreation and
Campus Activities Office, Women 's
Center, and the Organic Farm. In
order to continue, these programs
must be supported fully or in part
from S&A or alternative funding.
The survey results which the S&A
Board will use as a guide in
allocating money, has three major
breakdowns . The money could be
spent on capital improvements (such
as a new building), funding S&A
groups ranging from the Advocacy
Center to the Veterans Club, or
maintaining activities slashed in the
budget.
Money looks tight for student activities next year. There are cutbacks
in legislative job funding of several
student activities which may leave
the S&A Board in the position of
continuing staff and student employment, and the genuine need for more
office space. An important aspect of
this dilemma is that students,
through the IRS survey, ha ve the

OPINION:

Cultures clash between Evergreen promise and reality
qued by professors who seem
unable, unaware, unaroused, and insensitive to the values, mind-set, and
modus operandi of those whom are
not of the dominant culture? Is there
no alternative to entering a work
force where the profit motive seems
to be the overriding issue, where
non-profit organizations, individuals
that are highly flanked by their
arousal of injustice, of excluded
groups, freedom of choice, need for
new, fresh progressive leadership,
and new models of living are faced
with the grim realities of GrammRudman and the rapidly escalating
tensions on the international scene?
It saddens me deeply when I am
to realize our institution which I was
attracted to as a person who is not
part of the dominant culture and
journeyed 3,000 miles to attend, promises promotes and I quote (from
the humanities section in the
catalog), "new conceptions of the
nat ure of a person or peopie ... evaluations of the relationships
bet ween a person or people and

by Linda M. Upshaw
Managing to synthesize one's way
through the mire and dirth of
apathy, neglect and inexcusable ignorance on the part of administrators, corporate leaders in the
' work force and, worse yet, in our
educational systems seems to be the
task of all concerned and involved
at this institution and in society at
large. I am here to inform you folks
- upon completion of th is "liberal"
education, not an easily completed
task in view of present issues raised
by the possible disp lacement of the
two Third World faculty; there will
be no equality until these issues are
rectified on our campus, in our communities, and particularly in our
nation .
Today there ex ists such a pervasive, overwhelming attitude of
complacency, mediocrity and apathy
that it promises to stifle, negate and
undermine the very rationale for our
academic efforts. The questions
co me to mind: Are our efforts futile
when at evaluation time we are criti-

tify the personal constructs used to
shape his/her. own perceptions in
order to holistically facilitate constructive change in groups and
organizations . The person, the ideal
must be studied within the context
of the social, political, technological
context of the time, and these interconnections emphasized so that we
may function as social agents. We
must now begin to identify the
usefu lness and limits of outdated
models and begin to identify new
more purposeful ones . We must
identify cycles of stability, and I
maintain most importantly, develop
mentoring, negotiation, conflict
mediation, stress management and
consultation skills.
I am appalled that a college
catalogue could be so misleading as
to entice ethnic people from all
cultures, from all economic
backgrounds and age groups, to a
place where they are stifled, compared, and shut out.
As a product of the '60s, I did not,
have not and will not buy into

other men and women, private, and
public institutions, and the gods; and
attempts to imagine and make new
relationships and new societies."
Do the writers of this catalogue
even realize what they are alluding
to? Perhaps a more accurate description should read, the attempt at
competency of multi-cultural environments, explorations of diverse
ethnic backgrounds as a means to
determine how they can fit in, the
development of writing styles that do
not suggest who you are and your intentions, but just renders experience.
Frankly, I find all of this rather boring and out of tune with what society is now demanding of all its
inhabitants.
I propose the following: the
development of the capacity to
recognize those factors that are inherent in our times, the capacity to
change (if possible), to survive, to
transform, to make available a process to construct a model of the in dividual, to shape, define, clarify
his / her own belief systems, to iden-

mediocrity, complacency and outdated modes of co-optation. Though
I am beleagued and inundated with
all of this, I am convinced that the
crises we are facing are both a problem 'and a citallenge. I have seen
members of my race corne from the
back of the bus to the front of the
space shuttle, and we must now
begin to look to other cultures also
as models of a "new" authority. For
no one can speak of a vision for
worldwide equality and opportunity when some of its members are left
to outmoded definitions.
The '60s and '70s, in my opinion,
were all about isolating differences
as a means of enriching the whole of
humanity, birthing people into the
world that neither exploit, nor take
for granted other's values, modus
operandi, nor lead eccent~ic egocentrictic isolated dichotomized
existences (unless by choice), but are
ready, willing and able to take to
task all types of segregation and exploitation . We are at the crossroads.
When will the journey begin?

Letter:

U.S. military harass the people at Big Mountain
Hello from Big Mountain,
It may seem that I just dropped
out of sight, but I am alive and well
stayi ng on the Dine Nation in
Arizona. First of alii would like to
thank everyone who showed up to
support David Whitener and the
Native American Studies Program.
I feel the show of support and the
rally were a success . The ball is now
in the hands of the administration,
so to speak.
Since it has been two weeks since
the rally, some of this is probably
out of context. No matter how late
this letter is, cultural diversity must
never die at Evergreen. The provost
and academic deans must be kept

under pressure to make a firm commitment to cultural diversity. If this
does not happen t hen another rally
should happen at somebody's office
who will listen.
Well, the Spring Gathering at Big
Mountain was greal. More than 500
supporters from around the nation
showed up to listen to the people of
this nation talk about the relocation
issue and how it has affected them.
For the first time, Dine and Hopi
elders met in the round house, and
discussed unity between the two
tribes. It was a great feeling to know
that these two groups of elders were
actually one.

spoke at Evergreen recently, talked
to supporters about livestock reduction, and'of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIAl officials sitting in her
hogan asking her to relocate and the
consequences if she did not move.
She told the group that her response
was, .. If you move me I will be back
like a stink bug ." Her son Danny
spoke of military fly-overs in which
jets fly low, buzzing herds and
hogans. He said that some of the
structures have been damaged
because of the noise . Danny is
presently working on a petition to
halt these military fly-overs. I have
witnessed two of these fly-overs.
During the evening, helicopters
roam the desert in search of livestock
and fence removers. They are hard

to see or hear coming as they are
muffled. In one recent sighting, six
helicopters were buzzing the land.
Harassment prevails here at Big
Mountain, and it must be stopped.
It will be stopped.
This past week three supporters
were working in Pau line Whitesinger's corn field, when BIA officials
informed them that unless they
belonged to the tribe they could not
work in the field . They then said that
if the supporters were still there the
next day they would be arrested. It
was later discovered that none of
what the BIA said was true. So
yesterday we showed up in mass support in Pauline's garden and dug
weeds all day. It felt good and the
BIA never showed up. More harass-

coping with the reduced budget, are invited to attend the
11 a.m. meeting Monday, May 19, CAB 104.

Many of us in the Evergreen community want to see a qualified and
creative woman as the CPJ editor
for the \986-87 school year. We
understand that one has applied.

In 1986, Evergreen students will
pay $210 each in fees to the Services
and Activities Fee Revue Board
(S&A Board). This will amount to
a total of over $550,000. Studenl
money, student services, but who
controls the cash?
This week's blast from the past
looks at the battle of the budget as
it has developed over the years. The
last segment of this week's feature
includes House Bill 614, which was
passed this year and gives control of
the money to the S&A Board and the
Board of Trustees.
Although students now have a
greater degree of control over their
activities fees than ever 'before, the
questions of who will be funded and
to what extent still need to be
answered. What is the student
philosophy for spending S&A
dollars?

(title) Rose resigns

June 19, 1974

June 10, five days after the College Activities Fund DTF completed
its report, Assistant Director of Student Services Al Rose submitted his
resignation to the S&A Fees Review
Board, charging that "the administrators are still steaUng student
funds." F,ollowing is the text of
Rose's resignation.

In the last few months, we have
opened a lot of eyes in /he Evergreen
communi/yo The administrators are
stealing student fees, but a lot more
students are aware of it now. The
problem I have is it seems so obvious
to me that students should say what
happens to student fees that 1
assume it is obvious to everyone else.
That is a false assumption.
Recenlly, my supervisor brought
it to my attention that my time and
energy as an Evergreen employee are
misdirected. I should not create so
many waves. I should lake my concerns to him and he will handle them
for me. 1 should not go over his
head.

I remember a lime at Evergreen
when administrators did not feel a
need to be comfortable in their jobs.
And when people said the hell wilh
organizational charts. If you have a
problem, see the person that can
help you.
I still believe in the ideals on which
Evergreen was established, but nOI
on the reality which it has become.
And I cannot compromise my values
to the point to which I have been
requested.
I ask that this Ie Tier serve as my
resignation effective July I, 1974. I
will stay around after Ihat if
necessary for hiring or training of a
replacement. I write this letter to you
because, in my mind, you pay my
salary. It's too bad you can't also
supervise my actions as your
employee.
1 don't inrelld to let what I've
started die. After leaving Evergreen
I will be getting in touch with
legislators with whom I have contact
to let them know what's happening
In regards to S&A fees . And I hope

At 8 p.m. Saturday, May 17 in the
Experimental Theatre "The Mo·/ing
Image Ensemble'" will perform.
"The motive. the shared interest of
the company is to think about how
nonverbal/unwritten communication is much more powerful than
verbal and written communication,"
Doranne Crable, the recognized
although unofficial ("We're all
equals") leader of the sixteen
member troupe told me.
"The interesting part of using
music the way we do is that it is
beyond just using music or words or
a story. It affects, but doesn't leave

coherent reasons or images," said
Kelly Mills, who with Crable and
Robert Menna make up the board of
directors for the ensemble.
She's right, the show doesn't leave
coherent reasons or images . When I
watched the ensemble practice their
show, I was drawn into and involved in the three pieces. It wasn't until later, when I'd thought about the
show more, when the pieces had
settled in, that there was any
recognizable or distinct feeling or
theme to the show. All three pieces,
"The Cage," "Tubes," and an unnamed event piece, are strongly emotional. The experience of watching
them is something you need to let

settle in before you talk about it.
And then you need to talk about it
with somebody else who saw it.
The core of the troupe formed in
June of 1985. The present troupe has
been constant since January. Thirteen members attend Evergreen, two
are graduates, and one is a faculty
member. They didn't think this was
a distinction necessary to report, so
I won't mention names.
The ensemble uses the Communications Building to practice in
through the grace of Ed Trujillo, but
they stress they are an O lympia
ensemble, not an Evergreen ensemble, and have no official connections
with Evergreen.

Spinning a culture
by Maggie Murphy

•

Evergreen senior, Wendy Giles,
laid a black three-ring notebook in
front of me. I opened it up, and she
began to speak while I sat breathless
and almost dizzy from the colors
before me.
"These are wool samplings dyed
from natural substances. You don't
ha ve to go to shops to get these, you
can just walk into your own
backyard or kitchen cabinet," she
said. The delicate shades of fawn
from mushrooms, mossy greens
derived from sage, a page of brilliant
yellows from tumeric and luscious
pinks, violets, and lavenders from
the heart of brazilwood left me shaking my head in disbelief.
Wendy described the dying process like this, "First you get filthy
sheep wool, wash it and put it in a
mordant. Mordant is what holds the
dye in the wool. Copper, chrome,
alum and the oldest mordant, (urine)
are a few. Then, you put the wool
in a vat with the dye. The longer the
wool is in the dye-bath the more intense the hue. Then, the wool is
washed and dried and carded. Carding is a process that pulls the wool
fibers one direction and removes dirt
that is still in the wool. Finally the
wool is spun."

My head was still light from the
kaleidoscope of colors before me,
but I was ready for the whole story.
Wendy was enrolled at St. Mary's
College in Maryland when she learned about Evergreen. She heard about
the facilities and decided to finish
her degree here. "Life Compositions" particularly drew her to
Evergreen because of the independent learning opportunities it cou ld
provide. " 'Life Compositions,' if
approached with care, is an invaluable experience," she said.
"I have been working with Gail
Tremblay. She has been very supportive and taught me a lot," Wendy said.
Wendy established fine art, and
particularly sculpture, early in her
college career.
"When I started I had a wonderful teacher. If I brought a little
sculpture in she'd say 'do more.' I
kept it up and began to do work in
series.
"In Maryland, I took elements of
where I was and integrated them into
my work. I used to pick up little
things on my way to school and include them in my pieces of
sculpture. One of my earlier pieces
was a series of four ceramic boxes
that I stuffed with the little things I
found on my walks. A year later, I
was making three-hundred-pound,
ceramic sculptures that hung from
the trees in my backyard."
Wendy
continued,
"At
Evergreen, I figured I would keep on
in sculpture, but when I got here I
had trouble getting access into the
ceramics studios; I didn't have in-

surance and I wasn't enrolled in a
ceramics class." She discovered a
leisure education class in ceramics
and also one in spinning . With great
debate she opted for spinning
because of a brief experience she had
once before.
"I took a weaving class at St.
Mary's and it was a total disaster.
The teacher arrived the first day and
said she didn't know anything about
weaving, didn't like weaving, but
had to teach the class . So, along with
two others we taught ourselves to
weave. We worked on eight-harness
floor looms, and by the end
of the quarter we had gotten about
eight inches weaved . Then, this
teacher who hadn't taught us
anything all quarter, came in and
just cut off of the loom what we had
worked all quarter to accomplish . [t
was horrible!" Wendy said .
This experience was the foreshadowing of great things to come.
"When I learned to spin, it changed my life," says Wendy about the
leisure education spinning class.
"Spinning is rejuvenating and
satisfying. It's a part of a special
continuum. Learning to spin has put
me in a relationship with the past,"
she said.
"My father was adopted and so
was my Grandfather, so [ don't really know my lineage. Through spinning, I've found my cultural identity. Spinning is an art passed on from
woman to woman for thousands of
generations. It has linked me to a
past I feel connected with," she said.
Wendy has been working on Inkle looms for the last year. This type

As of May 10 the ensemble
became an incorporated nonprofit
organization.
Menna said everyone in the troupe
plans to remain in it after they
graduate . "The tighter the company
gets, the further my graduate school
plans recede." Eventually the troup
will be completely distinct from
Evergreen, although they have no
plans to move from Olympia, he
said.
"We're trying to do theatre, or
performance, with as little as possible, to do it without props or artificial writings, so that if we felt like
it we could perform anyplace,"
Crable said . The ensemble uses very
few props, has no proper studio, and
no money, she said, although I got

the feeling that the lighting for th e
show was very complicated.
What the ensemble relies on is
talent, imagination and skill. I'm not
the best judge of theatrical talent,
but I dare say "The Moving Image
Ensemble" has got it. The skills of
the individuals in the troupe include
dance, theater, video, and audio.
Each piece is created by the entire
troupe, with no spotlighting, or individuals dominating.
Imagination is something [ think
I can recognize easier than skill.
When I said earlier that you needed
to talk about the piece with someone
who saw it, I meant what I said. I
could describe the pieces, but I
couldn't communicate them.

of weaving was introduced to
America from England, and has
both a decorative and functional
purpose. "Lots of the little woven
bracelets you see are from an Inkle
loom," she said.
Along with learning different
types of weaving patterns, and spinning and dying techniques, Wendy
is putting together a resource book
of information .

The black, three-ring notebook
still sitting before me holds many of
the graphs, charts, recipes and
samples Wendy will need for future
work.
When Wendy finishes at

skills somehow. "[ don't know if ['II

Award winning CPJ writers gain recognition

by Margaret Livingston

Fall quarter, the Cooper Point
Journal came under attack from
some students because it carried an
advertisement for a company still
doing business in South Africa. Joe
Follansbee, a student in Mass Communications and staff writer for the
paper, wrote an editorial reminding
students of the first amendment
guarantee of freedom of the press .
That editorial was entered in the
Washington Press Association's annual contest to recognize the best
college newspaper writers, and won
first place for editorial writing.
Follansbee, now an intern at The
Olympian said jokingly, "It was nice
to get the recognition, but money
would have been better."
An article by Jennifer Seymore expressing concern about the decreasing amount of downtown housing
available to students, also printed
fall quarter in the CPl, received a
third prize in the newswriting
category . Seymore gave credit to
Virginia Painter, CPl advisor, for
entering the article.
Dennis Held, whose by-line appears both on the news and poetry
pages of the CPl, was excited when
notified that a poem he had submit-

The poem, inspired by a

Dear Evergreen,
This final quarter has been an exploration of television
news as an intern with The MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour.
Working at public TV station WETA Channel 26, where the
Washington DC segments of the Newshour are produced,
I have seen and participated in much of the news gathering and disseminating process. The day to day operations
here have been eye-openers, some leaving me disheartened others ecstatic. The routine, overall, has been rewardi~g; plenty of excitement with bits of tedium to bring me
down to earth. There have been tough lessons and I even
caught my first case of "The Post Ivory Towe.r Blues."
I would recommend this internship to anyone Interested
in TV news. The hours are very long and the pay is very,
very low, but the experience and location outweigh these
difficulties. Miss Kelley Shield can be contacted for information about the internship program; (703) 998-2844.
A week ago my colleague here announced that Evergreen
had been written up in Time. With a boastful tone I explained all the virtues of TESC to the. staff here. I a.m,
myself, beginning to value and appreciate the education
I received at Evergreen and how lucky I am to hold a degree
from such a fine school .

Video audio students show magazine
by Irene Mark Buitenkant
EVERGREEN MAGAZINE, a
monthly TV program (channel 28,
ca ble 12) is produced at this college.
The broad casted material is
developed by the students in the
vid eo/ audio program or it comes
from the TESC archives.
This video/ audio course, which is
mandated to provide this material
will not be continued in its present
fo rm beyond this first year. The
choice of subject matter has been
broad, though it had to be tied into
TESC in some way. Rather than being a personal narrative, the scope
was limited to a more documentary
nature. The material to be used in
future programs will be generated
from individual contracts such as,
senior theses and work in other
classes such as, Mass Communication and Social Reality.
Judith Espinola, the executive
producer, is responsible for basic
policy, funding, proposals, and is

very ritualistic , mystical. Gregorian
chants during the primitive horror
ritual. Then the show becomes solely visual, the earlier wall of sound
just echoing in your head. Imagine
designer bowling and Escher's curlycue creature. I couldn't help. but
wonder why people would behave in
such a silly manner. Does that make
me a hypocrite? Follow it up with
your worst nightmare from Equus,
and you've just read what images accosted .my mind as the ensemble
warmed up. You'll see it, don ' t
worry.
"They're not literal stories, but
they do communicate," Menna told
me. The opening piece, the event
piece, will be performed only for this
show and then never again . It is the
weakest of the three pieces, but the
images were still haunting . I didn't
see a finished version of it, so I
won't say more. Check out the
posters; collectors items, I guarantee
it.
"What we started out to do was
dance of some kind," said someone
describing "Tubes," the second
piece. Of all the pieces, "Tubes"
comes closest to dance. The movement looks more choreographed and
- along with the sounds - it is an
assault on the eyes, ears, and nerves.
The voices and words disturb the

mind, tense the muscles; the sixth
sense, an animal instinct that there
is danger , the muscles react and
tauten . As the lone member of the
audience perhaps the assault was
more powerful to me, alone without
fellow viewers. On the other hand,
in a darkened theater, if you're sitting close to the stage, don't expect
to feel comfortable.
"The Cage" is an adaptation and
reflection on the themes of "The
Book of Laughter and Forgetting,"
by Milan Kundera, Crable said.
The Moving Image Ensemble's
pieces have a very dark tone. Performed in COM 209 with a large
wooden cross in one corner and the
ceiling obscured by crisscrossing
metal pipes, they inspire coldness.
"The Cage" has a haunting chant of
"remember" that rides on your
back. If "Spoon River Anthology"
had a Satan worshipping mass, parts
of "The Cage" fit the bill perfectly. "Moral, guilty, butto me entirely
beautiful," taken from "The Cage,"
that line says a lot.
The only better way to end this article is the last two lines from my
notes, "frantic chaos, noise part of
theme, but Cage silent as hell.
Desperate, emotional, witchcraft,
ghosts, mysticism, abundance of
smokers."
