City asked to reconsider plans for development
by Tracy Gibson
A mile from Evergreen, First
Cities Equities, a Seattle-based
developer, plans to build Grass
Lakes: an 838-unit housing
development.
David Akana, Olympia's hearing
examiner, approved the development on April 21.
But Evergreen, the Sierra Club,
Audubon Society and angry
homeowners are trying to change his
decision. Their concerns are limited
sewer capacity, the destruction of
valuable wetlands and wildlife,
flooding, and high population density in a semi-rural neighborhooil.
Barbara Moss, director of Plann·
ing at First Cities Equities, says they
are willing to work together with the
community and their concerns.
"The development is envisioned
as a quality project and provides a
lifestyle that will blend with West
Olympia and the environment," she
says.
The development - bordered by
Kaiser Road, 14th, Cooper Point
and extended to Conger - would
consist of 80 percent multi-family
units and 20 percent single-family
dwellings, and would provide room
for a 7 percent increase in Olympia's
population.
Expensive sewer lines are a central
issue in the debate over Grass Lakes.
Grass Lake's developers propose
to hook into Evergreen's main sewer
line, but an Evergreen study shows
if Grass Lakes uses the line there will
not be room for Evergreen to grow.
"This will prohibit Evergreen
from future growth, new housing or
people sw\!ar they have caught fish
there.
The groups also say special
studies. required by the Olympia Environmentally Sensitive Area Ordinance before wetlands can be
"disturbed or altered," have never
been done.
"The development is sensitive to
the env ironment," says Moss. She
says First Cities Equities has hired
Inteclo Engineers, one of the leading
specialists for wetlands enhancement
in the western United States. "Their
work on this project was actually us'
ed to help create the environmentally
sensitive ordinance."
The developers propose to
enhance the wetlands by removing
.~ dense vegetation and dredging to
~ enhance waterfowl use and
.!! aesthetics. Well water will be used in
.~ the summer to maintain lake depth .

morning sun, waiting to be dredged and surrounded by condos.
a new gym," says Darrell Six, a
TESC engineer.
Evergreen wants a more specific
plan stating how the sewer problem
will be dealt with . "If we see problems now, we should address them
now," says Six.
He points out that the current
sewer line was paid for in I 969 by
the state of Washington to serve
Evergreen's needs. The city now
owns and maintains the line in return
for an agreement that it will
guarantee the college sewer capacity.
Currently, the sew';:r line is at 50
percent capacity and serves both

Speaker describes nuclear
conflicts in American society
by Mark W. Sherman, and
Todd D. Andenion
"The people at Hanford and FOri
Lewis don't believe they are causing
a holocaust, they may even believe
they are preventing one," said Paul
Loeb, author of Nuclear Culture, in
an address Tuesday, May 20, in the
library lobby.
In describing the area surrounding
the Hanford nuclear complex, Loeb
depicted an all-American small town
that could be anywhere in the United
States except that it is wedded to the
nuclear industry.
When U.S. government recruiters
went out appealing to new engineers
and technicians to work at the complex in the 1940s, they did it on the
basis of the Hanford area's
American appeal, according to
Loeb. "There was no question of the
social value of plutonium," he
added.
But the issue goes much deeper
than merely having values that many
others might find objectionable.
"Eighty to 85 percent of the workers
in the Tri Cities area are directly or
indirectly tied to Hanford," Loeb
said.
One of the approximately 70
viewers who witnessed Loeb's
presentation took issue with his
characterization, which in her opinion made Tri Cities residents seem
different. Loeb responded that they
weren't different and that was his
point. The ways in which they keep
from thinking about the ultimate
purpose of their work are common
to all of us-Hanford is the source
of half the nation's weapons-grade
plutonium, Loeb said.
In this area Boeing holds perfect
legal contracts for the creation of
devices for human destruction, Loeb
said. The company is the nation's
number three producer of nuclear
weapons, he added. But, like the
people who live near Hanford, people who live as he does in Seattle get
used to-too used to-Boeing's
presence nearby.
Loeb said that we live now in a
society not unlike Nazi Germany
where, even as the holocaust was being consumated, people went to the
symphony and enjoyed the finer
fruits of culture. "Just because ordinary life is going on doesn ' t mean
that something of ultimate horror is
not being prepared," he said.
Loeb spent three years researching
the Hanford community. He found
evidence that the people who live
there minimize the potential dangers
of what they are doing. "We live in
a society that in some senses removes
all the difficult questions,"
Those who work directly in the
nuclear field either refuse to think
about what they are doing or, if they
can't help but think about it, become
cynical, he said. A young construction worker at the nuclear site once
told him that maybe the human race
was "like a company whose time
had passed and is ready for
bankruptcy. "
The older workers, especially the

West side. But if both Evergreen and
Goldcrest grow at their predicted
rate, the line will reach capacity in
1995. If Grass Lakes is added there
won't be room for either Evergreen's
or Goldcrest's growth.
"The capacity is adequate to build
Evergreen's additions or Grass
Lakes', but not adequate to do
both," says Moss, "Sewer capacity
is open on a first come, first serve
basis . We want to use the capacity,
because the law indicates we can,
and, then, work with the city to expand sewer lines."
The hearing examiner, agreeing
with the developers, allowed Grass
Lakes to hook into the line saying
First Cities Equities has to help pay
for any "upgrading" needed on the
line based on their percentage of use.
Six says sewer lines can't be
"upgraded." Instead, new ones have
to be built and that takes around
three years. Evergreen has seen no
plans for a new sewer system.
"Evergreen's only chance for
growth was to ask the hearing examiner for a reconsideration," he
added.
Moss says First Cities Equities
"wants to work with Evergreen so
no one will be without sewer lines."
The Sierra Club and Audubon
Society feel the impact of the
development on the environment
hasn't been appropriately addressed.
"They are taking an area that is
pretty wild and a wetland and
destroying it," says Andy McMillan,
spokesman for the Sierra Club. They
are also concerned about quality of
water downstream. Wetlands can act
as a water purifier, but once the
wetlands have been dredge<!, increas·
ed pollution will flow downstream to
Green Cove Creek, a salmon spawning ground .
The groups feel the original fish
and wildlife studies were inadequate.
"They only went out there one day
in the winter time and they didn 't
find anything," said McMillan. So,
he continued, they depended on lists
saying what should be in that area.
Although the Environmental Impact
Statement says there are no fish in
Kaiser Pond, McMillan claims many
access, an d landsc ap ing wi th n a ti ve
species.
"How can you enhance a wetland
that is there and working fine?"
replies McMillan. Normally, the
term' 'wetland enhancement" is used when one has been degraded, he
says . McMillan says he feels we are
just learning about the importance
of wetlands, and development
should wait until more studies are
done.
Goldcrest Howeowner's Association is appealing the .Grass Lake's
decision to the city council. They list
flooding, increased traffic and the
loss of a rural atmosphere as some
of their concerns.
The developer plans to pave 35
acres of low-lying wetland, which
now acts as a holding place for storm
run-off water. Many homeowners
wonder where the water is going to
go. Engineers representing First Cities Equities told neighbors last fall
Kaiser Road could not flood because
there is good drainage under the
road ; several months later Kaiser
Road flooded. These homeowners
feel the flooding question hasn't

Central American, U. S. economic relations:
from locomotives to weapons and technology
by Bob Baumgartner
Pablo Stanfield, activist, Latin
American refugee and now
American citizen, said the United
States holds the answer to problems
in Central America . Stanfield's
speech was a part of Central
America Day in the library lobby.
"The problem with Central
America
isn't
Central
America ... . The problem of Central
America is that the system works
really well. It's very profitable," said
Stanfield-very profitable for the
United States.
For every U .S. dollar that goes into Central America, $1.32 comes
out, he said.
Stanfield said the Conquistadors
tromped through Central America
and inserted a feudal system that
now the United States has taken
over.
Conquistadors discovered that by
usinr. the two main resources of Central America- the people's labor
and land-they could become
wealthy and crown themselves
princes, dukes and counts, imitating
those back home in feudal, southern
Spain.
Now U.S. based international corporations continue an American version of this, he said.
At one time the United States exported to Central America, mostly
large
such as locomotives.
Since 1976 th(' major U.S. exports
to Ce ntral America are ant i,

S&A sets budgets (tentatively)
by MlIggle Murphy
The S&A Board convened
Wednesday, May 21 to continue
handing out tentative budget allocations. Smaller student organizations
were discussed at this meeting. All
budget allocations mentioned are
tentative, and therefore subject to
change.
The board has tentatively scheduled Wednesday, June 4 as the date to
begin final allocations. Student
organizations before the board were
the Men's Resource Center, which
received a $5400 allocation, the
Women's Center, tentatively receiving a $7200 allocation, Evergreen
Legal Referral Service was allocated
$3500.
The Evergreen Legal Referral Service (ELRS) came under criticism by
many board members because of a
poor management record. Although
the new coordinator is quickly improving "the mess" ELRS is in, the
board remained skeptical. Another
reason for skepticism was a concern
that ELRS duplicates free services
attainable in the external communi-
ty. Nevertheless, ELRS received a
$3500 allocation .
MAA~A VA, Evergreen's Jewish
student organization, received a
$5800 allocation. MAARA VA sponsors the student literary magazine
"Slightly West."
Innerplace received $5206 as a
1986-87 allocation and the Organic
Farm also received $5206. The
Organic Farm recently won a victory
when the administraiton promised to
begin to pay 75 percent of the farm
manager's salary. This will ease the
budget pinch of S&A a bit - a tiny
bit. S&A will pay the remaining 25
percent of this position.
Next, the Peace and Conflict
Center was allocated $6371 and The
Expressive Ans Network was awarded $5274. Several board members
had some questions as to just what
function the network provided. It
was recommended that a "goals and
purposes," [a mission] statement accompany the finalization of the
EAN budget. During a short break
at the meeting, there was talk by
some board members that if one student organization was asked to sub-
mit such a statement then others
should follow suit.
In the last article S&A was said to
have allocated The Wilderness
Center, $35,620. Actually the tentative allocation was $3562. I
apologize for the error.
Several student' organization
budgets are still under careful consideration, particularly athletics.
Opinion:
This process is extremely educational and fairly entertaining. It's an
excefJent example of group
dynamics. Here too, is a perfect opportunity to give individual perspective on how student dolJars can most
effectively be spent.
If nothing else, S&A budget
alJocation meetings are a worthy
distraction from the end of the
quarter term paper burn-outs.
Distractions can be in whatever form
they might take and can be a

scientists, are better able to deny
anything is seriously wrong. To
them, Loeb said, de~ising new
weapons systems is merely an intellectual challenge. Paul Oppenheimer, Loeb said, once referred
to the problem of designing the
atomic bomb as an "intellectually
sweet" one.
"When one is insulated, one
believes one is exempt," Loeb said.
Everyone works on a part of the
system and takes responsibility for
designing a perfect part-but not for
the purpose of the system as a whole.
The way in which nuclear workers
"fragment" their thinking is but an
extreme example of what all of us
do, he added .
"We live in a culture of silence in
which the most important things are
not talked about," he said.
Loeb was not all doom and
destruction, however. Despite attempts by the nuclear industry and
the government to spread nuclear
power to every corner of the nation,
Loeb indicated that popular
resistance is a formidable obstacle.
He gave kudos to the antinuclear
movement ... Popular opposition has
virtually halted the construction of
new power plants. In the early 1970s,
the projections were for rapid
growth in new plants . This has been
stopped. "
He talked about the ways in which
people have stood up to tyranny over
the years, citing examples from the
Nazi period. The most famous of all
these is the time when the Germans
came into Denmark and demanded
that all Jews display the six-pointed
star known as the Star of David, a
Jewish symbol, on their persons.
The King of Denmark declared that

Jew or non-Jew, was wearing the
star. The Jews in Denmark were
never deported .
With similar courage, Loeb said,
we could stop the government from
producing more weapons; courage
by definition, is something possessed by individuals rather than groups.
He said many of the scientists who
have defected from the nuclear industry were persuaded to do so not
by the protests of thousands, but by
the decisions of just one of their colleagues to stop work in the field.

THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL
In the jungles and on the back
rivers of Nicaragua, American Indian leader Russell Means said he
witnessed the bombing and strafing
of the indigenous population by the
Sandirlista military_
Means spoke about his 30-day
odyssey in Nicaragua to nearly 150
people at TESC on Monday, May
19. Travelling by canoe with a band
of Indian guerillas, his group entered
Nicaragua somewhere along its central Atlantic coast on January 7 of
this year.
Means, who is co-founder of the
:unerican Indian Movement (AIM),
IS speaking on college campuses
across the United States trying to rally support for the guerillas who are
fighting the Nicaraguan army under
the name of Misurasata. Misurasata
is an acronym representing the
political coalition of the Miskito,
Suma and Rama Indians who are
native to Nicaragua's Atlantic,.coast.
Means maintains that an ongoing
and systematic extermination of Indian people is the root cause for Indians taking-up arms against the
Sandinistas. "The Marxist-Leninist
Sandinista government can be
equated with Pol Pot's Cambodia or
Adolf Hitler's Third Reich," he
said.
Means' position is a controversial
one, and complicated by the fact
that some I ndian leaders are taking
a fairly opposite position on the
issue. The November 25, 1985 issue
of "The Guardian" quoted three Indian leaders as supporting Sandinista/Misurasata reconciliation
through an autonomy process and
repudiating Means as a spokesman
for AIM. These leaders included
Clyde Bellecourt, a co-founder and
chief executive of AIM; Bill Means,
who is Russell's brother and executive director of the Indian Treaty Council; and Vernon Bellecourt
an AIM Central Council -member.'

plus interest as the child grows, said
Stanfield.
He said the United States first
entered Central America 140 years
ago with two goals: I) to identify all
resources of the region and open
them to development; 2) to protect
those resources from other nations.
These goals remain today.
"Americans are afraid of the term
'capitalist imperialism,' but unfortunately that describes what we do,"
he commented after the speech.
Stanfield began his speech by telling how he felt recently when his
wallet had been lifted. I felt angry,

violated and wondered how I was
going to pay the bills, he said. But
this was nothing compared to how
people in South America are abused, he said, where your brother
might be taken, tortured, and found
dead.
"The problem in Central America
is that most of us in the United
States, most Gringos, don't under~ta~d .. . that what goes on in public
IS Simply bold headlines," he said.
[We get the headlines, but not the
details.] "Our comprehension is
needed to fill in the blanks."
He proceeded to fill in those
blanks, telling how activities at
various places around the world are
connected to U.S. influence in Central America. Part of this list
follows:
a school teaching "how to keep the
poor in their place."
2) New York City: A group of international corporation presidents
make policy decisions. Stanfield said
this happened in a three-step process, a president of an international
corporatioQ says something; an
academic person defines and defends
it; and the government institutes it
as policy.
3) Geneva, Switzerland: The
Human Rights Commission has
been busy documenting abuses in
Central America. Based on this, the
United Nations declared that all
Guatemalans fleeing their country
were political refugees. The United
States has signed this, but doesn't
always act in accordance.
4) Sometimes Stanfield would like
to include South Africa in his list
because the South African regime
feels safe with apartheid due to the

United States' actions in Central
America, he said.
5) Another problem is the lack of
accurate information about Central
America. Stanfield calls it the "coffee curtain" - information about
events in Guatemala does not get out
of the country. He said he has talked to journalists who have written
stories, and they say they don't
know what happened-what they
wrote was not what editors printed .
He said the news that gets out has
just enough facts to misinform
people.
"The media is afraid to let the
truth out, " claims Stanfield. He said
he has called people at the Christian
Science Monitor with a story, and
they said they could not print it until the New York Times had the lead.
In a similar incident, the Seattle
Times was informed of riots in
Guatemala City. The editor followed the story for three days before it
broke on the wire services. It was
one week before it hit any audience,
and that was on television, he said.
':We ~re in the midst of a very
serious lime," Stanfield said after
the speech. "Americans still have the
right to speak out. Central
Americans don ' t, and the only peopie who can make (these needed)
changes are American people." The
American people need to speak out,
he said, and recognize they have

autonomy on traditional homelands.
"I feel a way should be found to
realize that dream [of · Indian
autoh~my) before they're all killed
off," Rhoads said. On the other
hand, Rhoads said he didn't put all
his faith in Russell Means and that
there are other people who are working on the issue.
Rhoads also said he fears the
crowd misunderstood Means on the
issue of CIA-backed "Contra"
forces who are also fighting to topple the Nicaraguan government. In
his speech, Means said that he does
not support the congressional bill to
fund the Contras because the CIA
would be in control of the money.
Means said Misurasata is already in
danger of being "isolated" by the
CIA along with Misurasata general
coordinator Brooklyn Rivers, who
accompanied Means during his stay
in Nicaragua.
Means believes the United States
has underestimated the force of
Misurasata and he wants no-strings
aid to be given to all who would join
the fight against the Sandinistas. He
said with adequate funding from the
United States, Misurasata could field
a fighting force of at least 15,000.
He said without such funding it is
guaranteed that U.S. troops will be
called to fight in Nicaragua. With
support, however, Means thinks that
Misurasata can defeat the Sandinistas, and in doing so be a catalyst
for the creation of a new world order
he terms the "Fourth World."
"Misurasata is the vanguard for
the emergence of the Fourth
World," he said . His vision of this
future world will put an end to the
historic "European view" that Indian people are expendable, Means
said. He believes such a change in
world view will bring Indian peoples
into the family of nations and
eliminate forever such problems as
the relocation of Indians at Big
Mountain, Arizona, and fishing
rights struggles in Washington state .
Also, the United States government must not ignore three key fac tors in Central America.
One is the resurgence of nationalism. "After years of saying Gringos
are great and you're [Central
Americans) pffffft," the United
States will have to deal with their increasing sense of being oppressed, he
said . Fidel Castro is revered by the
left and right in Central America
because he stood up against the
United States, Stanfield said.
Another factor the United States
has overlooked is cultural. "We
[U.S. citizens) don't know what it
means to be Hispanic," he said.
The third is a grassroots-based
Christian movement that rejoices in
the idea that what was said in the
Bible two-thousand years ago still
applies to them. The message is that
God doesn't want them to suffer.
Central Americans are gathering
around religion to better their lives.
Stanfield spoke to about 20 peopie in the library lobby Thursday,
May 22. When asked about the lack
of people, one student commented
that the end 'of the quarter was a bad
time to have any gathering because
students are busy with their work.
But from the head-shaking during
the speech and the applause when it
ended, the audience seemed to agree
with Canfield's message: the problem in Central America is the
United States.

Means, who was acct>mpanied to
his press conference by three
members of CAUSA, responded
that he has no qualms over his funding from the Unification Church,
and added that the only groups affording him the opportunity to
speak in this country are Indian
university students and the Unification Church.

change in the hearing examiner's
decision agree. "There will be
growth regardless of what is done,"

Chuck Mrosla would like to see a

GoIdcrest is low density and has only
single-family dwellings.
"We are building a high quality

Hearing Examiner David Akana

the two reconsiderations filed. That
hearing is tentatively scheduled for
the morning of July 14 and will be
held in the Olympia city council

Smoking Policy
Introduction
The Washington Clean Air Act of
1985 recognizes that numerous
studies indicate that non-smokers
can suffer lung damage and other
health problems from breathing
secondary smoke from smokers. The
intent of this policy in accordance
with this Act, is to protect the health
and welfare of the non-smoker in
public facilities where the nonsmoker must be present or pass
through in order to perform work or
carry on personal activities.
Further, this policy is established
to protect life and property where
smoking may create a fire hazard.
Therefore, designated smoking permitted areas are primarily restricted
to spaces where non-smokers are not
required to be present or pass
through. However, the ventilation
system in college facilities will circulate any smoke that is present
throughout the building. Even
smoke created within enclosed offices will be breathed in other spaces.
The Clean Indoor Air Act restricts
smoking to specifically designated
areas within public facilities. Under
terms of the law "smoking" means
"carrying or smoking of any kind of
lighted pipe, cigar, cigarette or any
other lighted smoking equipment."
A public place is defined as "that

To the editors and readers of the CPJ:
I enjoyed seeing my review of the film "Koyaanisqatsi" in last week's edition of Arion (May 22, 1986). The comments I've received on it have been
varied and interesting. Unfortunately, my article passed through the hands of
the CPJ editor, and was significantly altered as a result.
First, the central message of the review was that the film is neither ordered
enough nor chaotic enough to make its point. To that end, I wrote, ". ,.'Koyaanisqatsi' juxtaposes images that are not related, yet not sufficiently unrelated to
jostle each other in a randomness that suggests 'life in turmoil' ... ". The word
"to" was replaced with a semicolon and the word "they," which utterly changed
the sentence's meaning.
Second, I wrote about " ... a speeded-up father .. .jerking spasmodically at a
video game .. .," not ' ~ joking." The typographical error took all the wind out
of a powerful image.
Third, two paragraph breaks were inserted that disrupted the flow of my argument; the editor clearly did not understand my logiC.
I find these errors frustrating for several reasons. I worked very hard (and
late) to assure the article's clarity and meaning, and even made time to review
the piece with Duane Anderson (the editor of Arion) on Monday, May 19. Why
was. my input laraely ignored?
" More importantly, why is Arion subject to the same rules of journalistic editing
as the rest of the CPJ? Is Arion a forum for individual expression, or is it not?
The CPJ would do well to consider this issue carefully as it finalizes its new
policies.

For myself, the chance to spend

my graduation from Evergreen has
a special significance. As I was surrounded by 200 million year old
rocks, fossils and petrified wood, I
had the opportunity to recall my
studies of geology, biology and
paleontology, and to bring it all
together in my imagery. The colors
and shapes of the rocks were what
captured my visual imagination. I
studied the rocks which surrounded
us by sunlight and moonlight to see
what I could learn from their forms.

On Friday, May 16, 1986, at the
2ND Space in The Empty Space
Theater in Seattle, Washington, I
viewed the play "Musical Chairs"
by H . James Lurie, M.D. This play
is about the life and stresses of Harry
Messmeister, Chairman of the
Department of Psychiatry at a large
univerisity.
"Musical Chairs" is a cross between high drama and comic satire.
The show had me at the edge of my
seat throughout the performance.
The dramatic tension of the play
equals that of Jean Paul Sartre's
"No Exit." The action takes place
in Harry's office, which is a long and
narrow room that is split into sections. The front office, stage-left, is
a reception area .
Stage-right is a consultation area,
where Harry works with his child
clients. Part of the stage has
children's furniture, which is used by
the actors to create the irony of a
professional lifestyle.
The play has a cast of five
characters: Harry, the Chairman,
Maggie, his Southern wife, Harry's
assistant, Tom, prospective faculty
member, Adam, and Harry's secretary, Goldie.
All members of the cast are to
serve Harry. They form circles
around Harry on stage. Harry
Messmeister is the department chairman and patriarch. The play with
Harry at the center of action shows
a tremendous amount of dramatic
tension.
This tension is brought out in the
play by the fact th~t most of the the
characters have severe drinking problems: they drink until they cannot
stand. Harry's wife uses her sexuality for everything it's worth;
demonstrated by the tight fit of her
clothing and her constant flirting.
Harry, a Jewish department chairman, has a stereotyped WASP for
an assistant-Tom. Both' Harry's
and Tom's overdrinking cause their
backgrounds to come into conflict,
and their relationship breaks down
while they are intoxicated.
Hal Ryder's directing skill in staging this play must be commended,
He makes a good script come alive.
The blockil1g of this show makes
one's eyes follow the main action
without forgetting the other actors
on the stage. From about three
minutes after the actors come on
stage, to the climax of the show, the
audience is totally engaged.
The blocking of the show moves
in a figure-eight around the stage.
This hypnotizes the audience, which
gives Harry the strength he needs to
make the show really work. All the
characters keep their multidimensionality and are real people.
None of them come to the power
that Harry has on stage. The director of this performance really make
the show gel into one living image.
The night I went to see the production of "Musical Chairs," the
audience was composed of older
people who seemed to be professionals such as doctors and college
professors. The thing that became
obvious to me was the fact that people were afraid to laugh at what was
being acted out on stage, because
laughing at this show would be in
some ways like they were laughing
at themselves.
"Musical Chairs" is really a success, and I recommend the show to
anyone interested in seeing a
psychosinister production.

A series of faces and masks is what
has evolved.
For all of us, the simplicity and
beauty of life outdoors in the desert
were central to our creative experiences. Without the constant
static of everyday life, we were able
to focus on our work. We pumped
our water from a well, cooked our
food over a flame, set up our studios
outside, and slept under the stars.
Our time was spent eating, looking,
sleeping, observing, dreaming, seeing ... making images.

words meaning, "hurry up" - appropriate words for a big job that
had to be efficient and orderly and
quick. This assignment had no
blueprint. The Egyptians and
Babylonians never undertook a
similar operation. The highly civilized Germans, masters of modern
technology, applied their know-how
to the development of the process of
"the final solution" : the genocide
of the Jews.
The development of the process is
the subject documented in "Shoah,"
(annihilation, in Hebrew). Claude
Lanzman took almost II years to
make this film , and five years to
edit. Like an ethnography, the
source of the information is the
memory of the informants. The
questions about the process were the
armature and the answers contained the human flesh of the story. The
voices answer in Polish, German,
and Hebrew, translated into French,
and are presented to the audience in
English subtitles.
We learn from a former.
Reichsbahn dispatcher about the
transportation of the
Jewish men, women and children to
be "resettled." The SS paid the
railroad the same fares as vacationers paid; adults - fuU price:
children - half fare and children
under four - free . When those to
be resettled came from as far away
as Greece, they used drachmas instead of German marks, and the
railroads lost some money. The
money from the confiscation of property of the Jews, however was used to finance their annihilation. This
German official had no doubts the
destination was a resettlement camp;
he deduced nothing from the fact the
returning trains were almost empty.
This film is threaded with long
strings of freight trains and railroad
tracks; sometimes 'ending in a
desolate bucolic landscape, and
sometimes in active terminals used
today. We are shown these cars
while learning they were once filled
to capacity allowing a square foot
per person. Often the last car contained quicklime which disposed of
those who died en route.
The reports of those near the
trains were made by survivors of the
"special detail," a retired engineer,
and the old farmers whose fields
were near the terminal, Treblinka,
first extermination

ed as a laboratory for ' the more
sophisticated ones like AUSChwitz.)
The special detail consisted of young
strong Jews who labored for the
Germans to prevent their own annihilation. They witnessed the
stench, thirst, hunger and corpses .
They were not aUowed to use the
term, "victims." The Gennans caUed the cargo "shit" or. "schmatas"
(rags).
The punishment for informing the
,a rrivals of their fate would be their
own demise. One man did inform a
woman of her imminent death . He
recognized her as the wife of his
friend. She tried to tell the others,
but they refused to believe her.
When her captors learned of this,
she was tortured until she pointed to
the informer. He was tossed into the
furnace, alive, as an example to the
others.
It was important for the assembly
line to run smoothly, without any
delays . To accomplish this, people
had to be kept calm. They were convinced up to the moment of their
gassing that what they experienced
was part of their resettlement. The
undressing room had signs like:
CLEAN IS GOOD, LICE CAN
KILL, WASH YOURSELF. The
"disinfectant"
was zyk lon,
a cyanide gas. It was shipped
in canisters which came in white
trucks painted with the medical
red cross symbol. The only other
items in this "merciful" vehicle
were the hammers used to open
the canisters. The gas killed
everyone in the disifecting room
within 10 to 15 minutes .
The gas in the chamber was most
intense near the floor. Afterwards,
when the door to the chamber was
opened, "bodies rolled out like
rocks" as the victims had pushed
back toward the entry. They were
also heaped up as the strong
trampled the weak when they tried
to get to what oxygen remained near
the ceiling. There were spaces
around the canisters because they
had tried to avoid the places where
the poison was most intense'. Those
at the bottom were flat~ened and
they were often unrecognizable.
The shock effected a relaxation of
the sphincter muscles;' there was
urine, feces, and blood over the
battered bodies.
Elderly Poles living in village
houses, once occupied by Jews, were
interviewed. They were asked how
they felt about the loss of their
Jewish neighbors. The gamut of
answers ranged from regret to indifference to contentment. Comments
elicited were, "Our men liked their
women," and "We had to work
while their women stayed home,Why? Because they were rich," and
"They charged too much money,
anyway. Perhaps they were punished for killing Christ." When they
said they were better off now, they
were asked whether it was because
of the absence of the Jews or the
presence of socialism, they shrugged their shoulders.
We learned about the Warsaw
Ghetto from a survivor and from a
Polish diplomatic courier. The latter had been asked by two
underground leaders to get the
message about genocide to the allies.
He was asked to tell them to drop
leaflets as weU as bombs. The leaflets
were to make a declaration that the
German nation would be held
responsible . The Polish diplomat
quoted them as saying, "We gave
scientists, we founded great
religions, we are human."
He acceded to their insistence that
he accompany them to the ghetto
where he witnessed pent and starved human beings. The film presented
an interview of one of the principal
German bureaucrats, who was in
charge of the Warsaw Ghettu. He
had dealt with one Adam Czerniakow, president of the Jewish
Experiences in the void are wellfilmed and probably accurate .
Animation effects, models and
creatures, are amazing, and the
suspense continues to build .
Council, a sort of governor and
laison person wi th the captors. He
was confronted with this man's diary
which had daily entries from 1941 to
1943. He made sardonic and
sometimes cryptic notes which are
interpreted by Professor Hillberg
who was teaching in a New England
coUege.
Aided by psychic advisors and
paranormal phenomena research,
this rum has quality special effects,
and the subliminals hold one entranced . If you are looking for a sequel as dynamic and pounding as the
first, it never quite surfaces. Without
expectation, we do find a wellthought-out story, good dialogue
an9 camera angles that work well .
It was noted in the diary that a request was made for money by a man
who asked for rent money and unneeded food . He did not want to be
put out of his apartment because he
did not want to die on the street.
Adam committed suicide the day the
Germans asked him to deliver to
them the orphans of his charge. If
he could not protect those most
helpless, he had failed.
This film was shown at the Neptune Theatre in Seattle. Each part is
four-and -a-half hours long. Long
for a film, yet it can hardly tell the
entire story which covers years. One
sees enough in this documentary to
make the viewer feel the message has
been delivered.

"Screws," an original work-in·
progress, is the Senior Thesis o f
Evergreen student Douglas A.
Mackey. The play is both provocative and compelling as it examines the fine line between criticism
and cruelty. Mackey's use of farc e
keeps the play erupting with insightful humor. Though an excellent
work, "Screws" contains strong
language and adult situations.
