As with many fellow Greeners, our senior
year is rapidly slipping away which reminds
me of my fa'c ulty's closing remark in my
winter :evo lua.tio 0: , .
.
~: :.".
, 'I hope, Janis, that your final quarter of
y6ur senior year will beA time of reflection
and a time of 'pulling together' your
undergraduate work."
I can't really say I've got it all 'pulled
together' yet, but I've been reflecting. In
doing so, I'd like to comment on a few contradiction.s I've noticed here at Evergreen.
Claiming a commitment to "alternative" education, while maintaining one
of the biggest bu~eaucracies I've ever encou-n tered still boggles my mind-even after
three years.
Flouting institutionalism and claiming
community spirit is great. But can anyone
out there tell me why our community
mechanically closes every door to every office (which by the way, house the millions
of services students need access to) at
noon, only to synchronously throw them
open-:-afte~ everyone -go-es- back-to closs?
And the biggest boggier I've encountered? Teaching peace, denouncing
military ihtervention, blowing bubbles and
dancing with the children in Red Square,
while embtdcing viole..,t symbols like the
hideous green fist in front of the library is
astounding.
The first two examples are humorous on
most days (except when you desparately
need something from records), the third is
frightening everyday. Have we at
Evergreen simply. learned the rhetoric of
peace and the activities of war, killing and
oppression?
I'm still reflecting, are you?

ing with personnel complaints; therefore, certain
reparations, redresses, and retractions are due
to the subjected individuals. .
An accpetable remedy to the above named
abuses shall include all of the following:
1. Preceding next week's regularly scheduled
infonnation meeting, the Board shall present and
read a statement which contains a full and unequivocal retraction and apology to a) statements
against the individuals, b) the inappropriate
forum at which these statements were made, and
c) the grossly negligent process by which the
Board conducted itself. The statement shall contain the signature of each Boardmember.
2. The statement shall ' be forWarded to all
publications which addressed the accusations
made at the ' April 29, 1988 meeting (incl. the
Cooper Point Journal, Evergreen Free Press,
The Daily Olympian, The Evergreen State College Newsletter).
3. The Board shall finance, if necessary, the
publication of the statement in the Cooper Point
Journal for the remaining issues this year and
.~t least four issues at the commencement of Fall
Quarter.
4. The Board shall forward a copy of the statement to each and every organization and in- "
dividual which received the memorandum written by Michael Perez, S&A Board Coordinator,
stating that charges were tiled against the four
for racism and sexism.
6. The Board shall forward a copy of the statement to each and every individual named: James
A. Martin, Peter A. Staddler, Steven C, Miller,
Todd H. Llindgren.
V. The '87-'88 Services & Activities Board,
despite its 'stated committment to fair and
equitable process, has violated its most basic procedure of all: meeting and discussing accusations
with the accused prior to public disclosure. As
a result o( this, the Board has compromised its
reputation as the epitome of "process." Futher- .
more, ~e Board found itself sponsoring and participating in a malicious headhunt with the intent
of maligning the reputations of four fellow
students. The actions the Board takes will only
partially compensate for the unworthy damages
they have inCUlTed. HopefuIly, future members
of the Board can learn from this Board's
and take prudent steps to prevent repeats of a
most unfortuante incident.
A fonnal explanation and defense by the four
individuals will occur soon. The Services & Activities Board, as will all members of the
Evergreen Community, shall be invited to
attend.

Salgado wants to clear up
confusion about EI Salvador

Still no consensus:community pet policy

by Suzette Williams

by Whitney Ware
Mercedes Salgado, a West Coast
representative of the EI Salvadorian opposition party FMLNIFDR, was on campus
May 23-24, speaking to classes and to the
Evergreen community about the political
crisis in EI Salvador.
"Iii EI Salvador," she explained in an interview with the CPJMonday afternoon,
"you can say that the only opposition is the
Salvadorian government. They are the people defending the interests of the V.S.
government."
The Farabundo Marti Liberation
FrontJDemocratic Revolutionary Front
(FMLNIFDR) was fonned in 198>, after the
Salvadorian peoples' peaceful attempts to
(md solutions to social and economic probl~~ met with recurring J>Qliticl!l-mmtary .
oppression. The FMLNIFDR is said to be
supported by the majority of Salvadorian
civilians, from all sectors of their society.
The organization's goal is the formation of
a new democratic government in trade for
Jose Napolean ~~~ ~urrent regime.
EI Salvador is a Central American country,. smaller in land mass than the state of
Oregon, and populated by over 5 million
people. According to Salgado, $3 billion
don&rs in U.S. aid has been given to the' EI
Salvadorian government in the past seven
y~; 80 ~rcent of that aid was strictly
military. FMLNIFDR claims that, thanks
to' the aid, 62,000 EI Salvadorian men,
women and children have been killed during the past seven years, and over one
million people have become political
refugees. .
Salgado became politically active at a
young age in the Christian Base Communities. During high school she joined the
student movement and despite the persecution of her country's goverment, she continues to work to help free her people from
political injustice and human rights
violations.
"There's a lot of confusion in North
Ameriea," she says, regarding the role of
the U.S. government in El Salvador. This
confusion. alorur with ignorance about
United States' efforts to stop EI
Salvadorian·u c6inmunists" that Salgado is
trying to clarify in her lectures and speaking engagements throughtout the country.
(The FMLNIFDR is not a communist
organization, contrary to popular media opinion, according to Sa1gado)
As students and as citizens of the United
States, Salgado urges individuals to join

The Pet Policy DTF (Disappearing Task
.Force) has the responsibility of formulating
recommendations to the administration for
. animals on campus. The members of the
DTF could not come to a consensus on their
recommenijatins, so they must present a
·new document the Board of Trsutees' June
8 meeting.
The DTF submitted a report a report to
Vice Persident for Student Affairs Gail
Martin on April 20, but included a minority and nuijority recommendation.
The guidelines given to the DTF said its
recommendations must conform to
Thurston 'County animal control ordinances, be enforceable by Security
Department standards, address cpmmunity~ concems and-not. ,r-equiPe-additional-..-.
human or finiancial resources.
The msjority report of the. DTF recommended a Pet Owner's Association; an
Evergreen dog license and hitching posts
on campus. The Pet Owner's Association
would be resp~nsible for dealing with pet
issues -and ' complaints on campus. They
would also sell dog licenses. According to
the DTF's recommendation, the license·
wo1Jld be "cross referenced to the dog's
owner," and would certify that the dog had
all necessary shots and that "the dog's

tempermentibehavior is conducive to the
campus."
The sale of licenses would go towards the
purchase of the hitching posts. The report
says dog "owners could untied their dogs
from the posts. It states, "the dogs would
not be required to be on leash but the
owner·must maintain full control by voice
and be in the immediate vicinity at all times
the dog is untied." Only dogs on tether or
leash would be allowed on ciunpus after
dark.

,

Two members of the seven person DTF
did not agree with the IJUijority recommendation. They say that dogs will be easily
•
released from posts by non-owners, and
owners will not control dogs when they are
untied, allowing them to roam free on campus. They recommend a policy that prohibits unleased dogs from campus.
Martin urged the DTF to meet again, and
reconsider their majority recommendations. Her reply states, "the majority
recommendations do Qot conform to local
ordinances, the college's Social Contract,
nor do they acknowledge the original constraints written into the charge for the
DTF."
In a phone interview, Martin said the
DTF was supposed to meet and negotiate
- an-agreement: She says only one' or two
people showed up and "there didn't appear
to be negotiating room."
She says the majority recommendation
does not address the concerns of vacilities
and maintenance people and "allows dogs
to roam free in violation of Thurston County animal control ordinances." She does,
however, think the Pet Owner's Associ&tion is a good idea.

Alumni are trying to start local credit union
by Suzette . Williams
Efforts ~ underway to bring a branch
of a ,financial ~titution to Evergreen.
Three former MPA students·are working
with Associate Vice President Ken W'mldey
to explore the possibility of bringing a .
credit union to camPus.
There have been no financial services on
campus since Rainier Bank withdrew its
branch in Fall 1986.

Merecedes Salgado speaks about political crisis in EI Salvador
local organizations that support the
FMLNIFDR, and to voice diSsent about
current V.S. Central American foreign
policy.
"It's hard," she says, "but you can do it.
You have the resources, you have the
possibilities.' ,
In addition, individuals can answer
urgent action requests to send letters and
telegrams in support of freeing EI
SalVadOlian political prisoners, like the ones

recently printed in the CPJ by the
Evergreen Sister College Project. Finally,
students can 'send desperately needed
ritaterialaid to EI Salv~dorian universities
and other similar projects.
Salgaqo visited New England last month
and spoke out at over a dozen universities.
After visiting Evergreen, she went to Seattle, continuing her work and trying to bring
awareness to the American public about injustice in EI Salvador.

Winkley says "there is definitely interest
(from the institutions), but there are a lot
of obstacles." The possibility has been
discussed . with Washington State
Employees Credit Union and Twin County Credit Union. W'mkley says there has
not been a response from Twin Counties,
bu~ State Employees is still interested.
One of the main obstacles for the State
Employees Credit Union locating on campus is its bylaws concerning members.
Credit Union bylaws don't permit students
as members; only State employees can join,
says Winkley.
The possibility of a Credit Union is more
promising than a bank, says Controller
Becky Gallagher. "Banks aren't interested
in coming here because they can't make a
profit," she says. "That's why Ranier left~

exploring the possibility of an institution on
campus as a proj~ct for the MPA program.
Last year, the group talked about the '
possibility of forming a Credit Union for the
Evergreen Community. Winkley said this
study "wasn't financially feasible."
Gallagher thinks the loss of check cashing
services in the Cashier's Office may help
the process. "I think that now it will be persued more aggresively because of the check
cashing need on campus," she sals.
Winkley, however, says they must simply wait for a decision. "We've done all that
we can," he explains. "I think at this point
it's pretty much out of the institution's
hands."

May 25, 1988

by Janis Byrd
Political activism as INF ACT representative Tim Russell sees it, isn't done by
policing each other's activities. Political activism means thinking about and using the
power that we as individuals have in society to make changes, he said.
For some people that could mean not taking ajob with a company who's ethics you
question, he said. For others, it could mean
something entirely different_
But why all this talk about activism?
"I have qualms about Evergreen activism," he says. "People love to seminar
about activism, but when it comes to following that with action?"
Russell is not convinced Greeners do
enough of it.
Citing his and the Evergreen Political Information Center's (EPIC's) recent efforts
to line-up General Electric' boycotters, he
said, "There is solidarity in signing the petition, it's a mass thimr."
But EPIC and iNF ACT didn't just rise
, up at Evergreen and start a boycott. Along
with their signature drive, the organizations sponsored a week long teach-in about
the role of corporations in the national arms
race.
"For the most part these activities were
very well attended," Russell explained.
"They brought awareness to the campus
community at large. For me, that was the
single most important thing-raising
awareness about the corporate role in
policy making and the power that corporations have in part of the world system,
especially around the nuclear anns race.
"Corporate power is the reason the U.S.
has 80 percent of the public in favor of
freeze, while we have an arms race.
But why boycott General Electric?

a

"As is obvious from what we're seen
recently in the CPJ," Russell said in
reference to recent articles questioning his
and EPIC's efforts, "it's begun some
debate on campus as to what the.role and
value of boycotting corporations ~ally is.
"Is it hypocritical to pledge to boycott
and not be entirely consistent? This is very '
important for people to be able to answer,
especially people concerned with systematic
social change."
"I don't think it is."
Russell said that during the signature
campaign, the petition was signed by over
1,000 people. That figure is roughly onethird of the student population at
Evergreen.
''What it shows is that there is a lot of
support here for ending the arms race,"
Russell said. "It shows there is a lot of support on campus for holding corporations,
such as General Electric, responsible for the
role they play in society."
"GE made the decision not to represent
themselves which is continuing in line with
the policy of playing down the campaign,"
Russell explained.

Gonna kick ' ~~ck ·dnd make peace

;,

Russell said he's concerned about the current climate on campus, particularly the
reaction expressed a letter to the editor
about "Issues Bombard Campus."
"I found this article reaIly distressing.
It's quite obvious this guy had been hand·
ed a petition to sign one to many times. This
guy's quota of political activism had been
surpassed.
"I guess the main thing I want to say is
that in all of this tension and upheaval, it
seems some people are missing the whole
point.
"But giving in to the tension seems self·
centered. We are withdrawing back into
our own lit~le cells by refusing to address
some of these issues," Russell said.
"I really sympathise with People who are
tired and overwhelmed. I am daily amazed
at how many issues there are.

According to the Progressive 'Animal
Welfare Society (PAWS), the ~t common
methods for fur ranchers are carbon monox·
ide poisoning, neck-breaking~ or an injection
of Black ~af. 40. Black Leaf 40 is a ,plant
insecticide which cannot legally he used to
kill ~
other mammals. However,
local ranchers say that it may be the most
commonly used method of killing. The EPA
and State Department of Agriculture were
alerted to this violation by PAWS, but are
unlikely to act upon it. Black Leaf 40's ac·
tive ingredient is nicotine sulfate. Upon in·
jection the diaphragm and chest muscles
become par8lyzed so the animal is unable
to breathe, but slhe remains conscious un·
till ~~k of oXYjlen causes Sihe to pass oul
A veterinarian compared the sensation to
strangu18tion. Fur ranchers also provide
animals to universities and other research
institutions for laboratory use in exchange
for caging, nutrition, and breeding studies.
The most ·commonly used method for
trapping animals is the laghold trap.
Although many nations have banned the
leghold trap, it is legal in the U.S., and on·

ly a few states limit its use. Washington is
not one of them. When an animal steps on
a leghold trap, the powerful steel jaws snap
shut With enough force and speed to prevent escape before the trapper returns for
the kill. Washington trappers are only required to check their traps once every 72
hours, which leaves the animal exposed during the coldest months in the winter, as well
as vulnerable to predators. In their
desperate efforts to free the trapped leg,
they only succeed in most cases in tearing
the flesh, breaking the bone, or breaking
their teeth against the hard steel trap.
"There is no state initiative to ban the
leghold trap," said Johnson, "There is a nation wide push to ban the leghold through
a House Bill in the Federal Congress, but
that has gotten virtually no where and has
very little support on a state wide level.
Congressman Lowry is openly against that
for example, because he doesn't see an
trap."

The fact is, the fur industry is a luxury
industry, and wildlife greatly suffers the
consequences. According to Friends of
Animals (FOA), trapping is Darwin's
theory in reverse_ The fur industry takes
and kills the strongest animals. It is the
animals out forgfug for food that usually
step into the traps set by the fur industry,
leaving behind the sick ones.
There is incredIble hardship and death for
"trash animals," such as birds, eagles,
calves, dogs and cats who are maimed in
traps but not commerica1Iy viable. Crippled and helpless, they are often tossed aside
or killed by a trapper.
Trapping of animals creates an,inbalance
in nature. Most animals trapped by the fur
industry are predators. This leaves behind
the rodents which have a tremendous birthrate, thu~ creating an environmental inbalance in the food chain.
Finally, "captive raising" distorts and imprisons wild animals, steals their freedom
and perverts Nature's law df life; another

exampie of humans controlling Nature.
Now more than ever, the controversy of
furs has developed into a heated debate between the fur industry and the animal 'rights
activists. The Fur- Retailers Information
Council (FRIC) has encouraged the media
to censor anti-fur demonstrations by attempting to POrtray all animal advocates as
terrorists. Retail furriers have also set up
a new public relations program to bolster
the industry's iritage. The new campaign is
entitled "Fur is For Life," and the industry
hopes to turn the tide of public disapproval
into at least an indifference to the issue.
Fredrick and Nelson's in downtown Seattle has a sign at the counter of their fur
department that reads:

The. struggle may be long and tough, but
animal rights activists refuse to give up.
Bob Barker _resigned as master of
ceremonies for the Miss Universe Pageant
to protest the gift of a fur coat to the winner. When protesting in the st~ts or at
faShion shows, one:of NAR~'s favorite banners reads, "It takes up to 40 dumb animals,
to wear a fur coat, but only one to wear it."
The Portland Animal Rights group has also
rented billboards to prote,s t fUr coats. The
- signs display a picture of an animal with the
word "beauty," and a woman wearing a fur
coat labeled "beast."
--"There's- a huge philosophicar ilisagree- ment within the animal rights movement
about the most effective way to stop the
abuse of animals," said Johnf1On, ·We feel
people that are directly involved in the
abuse of animals, be they animal researchers or wearers of furs or purveyor and
commercial sellers of fur, rieed to be held
accountable."
Local stores selling fur coats say the activists' demonstrations don't affect their
coat sales. "The unfortunate thing is," said
Johnson, ··as environmentally conscious as
we like to think we are, a lot of young
women and some young men are wearing
fur coa:ts. For example, out at Nordstrom's
they have a rabbit coat that they call a.
·'Democratic fur," meaning that they're
tryirig to make low price fur for the
students at the U.W. Who can come in there
and not afford nllnk at say $~,OOO, but rabbit at $160-$250. So they
trying to make
fur an egalitarian process." "
'The fur industry has also targeted career
women. One ad in a magazine depicted a
woman in a fur coat resting with her eyes
closed that read "It's Cold At The Top."
·cnte whole question of feminine in- '
dependence is coining to play in the fur
market right now," said Johnson, "with
women almost showing it as some- 's ort of
badge of honor that they can buy th~ir own
fur coats. It's an issue that most of us Who
agree with many aspects of the women's
movement simply don't agree with. What
we're trying ~ ' encourage women to do is
buy their own fake furs. There's a debate
within the movement about that. Do you
promote the w:earlng of fur by ,!earing fake

PAWS offers the following suggestions to
help stop the slaughtering of animals for
furs:
• Writing letters to the editor in response
to any newspaper articles about furs.
• Writing to the presidents of stores to oppose fur sales and promotions.
• Writing letters to fashion magazines to
protest fur advertisements and articles
glamorizing furS".
• Registering complaints with companies
which offer furs as contest prizes.
• Not buying or wearing fur garments.
·Contacting legislators about each piece
of legislation that would affect fur-bearing
animals.

Protestors however, have affected the
kinds of fur now available in coats. "Baby
seal has disappeared from the fur market
since ' Greenpeace publicized their
s~\lghter," says I. Magnin fur manager
William Newell. Endangered, species such
as sea otter, leopard and ocelot are no
longer options in a fur boutique. However,
activists feel that the conditions in which
the airlmals are ranched, and the sufferings
they endure in traps such as the leg hold,
are reason enough to abolish killing for
ft,trs entirely. UNo matter how cold it gets,
you can still find clothes to wear that are
not made off the backs an,d sufferings of
animals," said Johnson. "Fur looks good,
as long as it's fake, and as long as it's on
the animal," he added.
Activists believe that , by raising consciousness through campaigning, and praising women for not wearing fur coats, people will think twice about wearing them.
·We went to the opera house because it is
a nuijor venue for men and women to show
off their fur coats," said Johnson, ·We went
to say if in fact you must insist 011 being part
of this multi-billion dollar industry, we're
going to hold you up for embarrassment."

The Cashier's Office will not be able to
cash checks after Friday, ;June 10. The office has cashed payroll checks, financial aid,
emergency loan and guaranteed student
loan checks since Fall of 1986 when Rainier
Bank closed its campus branch.
According to COntroller Becky Gallagher,
a recent audit by the State ,Auditot's Office revealed that the Cashier's Office was
not authorized to cash checks. By state law,
the only .ncy with check cashing authority is the State TreasUrer's Office, so the
State Auditor suggested that the Cashier's
check cashing service be discontinued.
Gallagher Bays they wrote.tO the State
Office of Financial Management to request
authorization for check cAAhjng. The request was denied and they were ordered
to stop cashing checks because the law does
not say the Treasurer's Office may delegate
its authority.

I was sitting on my front porch, clearing

Firefighter Joe saves cookies, toast an,d folks
by Darrel Riley
Name: Joe Luders
Program: American World,
Democratic Vistas
Hometown: Woodinville, WA

Senior

A fIre alarm goes off in the dorms late at
night. The firefighters at McLane stagger
out of bed and climb into the fIre engines.
Within a few minutes they make a dramatic
rescue of someone's burning toast. Wait a
minute. Weren't those firefighters mostly
college students?
Joe Luders works at the McLane Fire
Station through the Student Resident
Firefighter Program.
HWe live at the station. Life at the station is like most other places except you
have big red trucks parked in your kitchen.
We (the residents) pull our shifts with the,
regular career fJrefJghters. The residents
generally do the driving and pumping of all
the rigs. People in the dorms know us
because we make so many runs there.
'What is it?' Burned cookies? Okay' And
then we head home to the station.
"There are only 6 student residents now,
and we would like to have more. We also
want to have a waiting list so that as soon
as someone moves out, a new person moves
in. I'd also like to see more women join the
program. Right now we have only one
female resident. I'd like to see that change.
"The weekday shifts run from 5:30 pm to
7:30 am but we don't have to stay up. You
just put on your uniform and be available
for a response. Then you clean up the station and go to bed, or study, or whatever
you've got to do. Don't ~t me wrong, I put
in a fair amount of holirs training for what
I do.
"It's funny. We get so used to the alann
sound or 'tone out' for the district that you
get a Pavlov dog effect. When you go to
places, like Burger King, the fry machine
makes a sound similar to the station alarm.
You can't eat there without getting an occasional jolt of adrenaline. Meanwhile yyur
hands are shaking so you can't eat without
wiping your burger all over your face."
There are some misperceptions that Joe
wanted to clarify. One was about CPR.
"As a CPR instructor I always stress that
CPR must be started as soon ' as possible
after a person collapses or the chances of
resuscitation go way down. Everybody
ought to know CPR so they can start it
because by the time we arrive on the scene
there could be pennanent brain damage.

"Although most people don't know it, the

was out. I felt good about that."
I found '"reconciling the image of an
Evergreim student as a firefighter difficult.
But Joe set me straight'on that right away,
proViditig a lot of reasons why Evergreen
s~uderits would be ' interested in the
.
program. ,
"A lot-of stUdents would be interested in
sucQ ah jmtque place to live'and make ~me

-, of bemg a . res.~gent do~s . a lot for you. It
. challenges~ Unfort~n~tely, because ,o..f the
ro~mg work schedule (working ~every
third eveqing); it's probably impossmle to
hold",a niiht~time job .elsew~ere. . ,
. "At the station we have soinetl$g of a
commUnity. ~r you- w:ork ith~re a while

'When 1 first started) was mostly thinking ~bo~t g.ett,ing :out the noise and confusio~ of the do~s 'and trying:Something
different. I :thought it would be like one of
those eXperlenOOs that ,I wouldll't wanUD
pass 'uP: sort of how you might think about
the Peace· Corps. I fIgUred, 'if I can take
"
on this; r can take on anything.
"lpterestingly, . a lot of Evergreen
students who. start out at McLane end up
becoming paid fIrefighters elsewh,ere. My
.' Duty Officer is ,an- Evergreen paduate
from afew,years back. Somewhere around
00 I'ercent of the people who start as
residents 'eventually becom'e paid
firefighters.
, And why do the fire departments allow
residents?,
"Some : fir~ departments have found it's
economically sound tOl have,.' ~sident
fll'eflghters. Yau can get a~out 6 or so
residents for the price of one professio.nal
fll'efighter. We do- pretty mueh wha~ 't he '
Mer firefJghters do out in the field e~cept
they make the big'decision~ and at the,sUi. don they , have a lot -of'adminjstrative .
responsibilities. The < pr{)fe8si~al
firefighters are more trained iii ilie management of a firegro~d. "If there was a big
emergency situation' at Evergreen, they
- would be-able to handle organizing our actions. Aresident dOesn't have that kind of
experience. A resident knows how to fight
fIreS and do medical stuff but they don't
have the organiz;,ltional ~ skDls that
, paid people are supposed' to be versed in.
"I've thought about being _a career
, fIrefIghter. There's good mQney and real
job s~tisfaction. Unfortunately, the bigger
fll'e departments ,have a lot,of people that
are a little gung-ho. I'd probably f~el a lit- .
tIe out of place. I'm just not into room inj

spections and calling people 'sir';"
If not a fIrefJghter, what?"
"After ~duating I want to spend some
time traveling Europe or wh~ver. Maybe
some place weird, like Tibet. I don't know.
After that, I'm ,going to graduate school,
hopefully at Santa Cruz. Then I'd like to get
~ job teaching."
Has being a firefighter changed him?
"I have a healthy respect for what fire
and moving vehicles can do. I wear my
seatbelt religiously. That's something I've '
been tempted to write an article aboutwearing seatbelts. We've been on so many
calls and it's the people who don't wear
their seatbelts who look temble. They go
through windshields, or awful, awful things
happen to them. But if they are wearing
their seatbelts they can be in the nuddle of
the most munclIe<!, lQOktDg car and be (ine.. __
"Motorcycle accidents are the worst
though. I get frustrated when I see someone riding a motorcycle in a tank top,
shorts and no helmet. 'I think to myself, "If
:tJmt:guy gets in wreck I don't want to go
on the call" Without leather protection arid
a helmet, the driver can look pretty bad.
They get what's called 'road-rash' -that
probably says enough.
I asked·Joe if he was afraid of anything.
"Spiders. I hate'em. I think my dentist
knows this because he reCently put a tarantula in the waiting room. You're out there
having this taral),tula leering at you while
the dentist is in the back room revving up
the drill.
"I also have a more existential fear that _
nothing matters. With this job though, you
can feel good about helping people out. Real '
people. We protect their lives and property. It makes you feel ~e you are doing
something worthwhile. ,This Job matters.
It's a very concrete fonn of action as opposed to abstract paper pushing. It seems
like a real job in that it involves
and
it makes a difference in the world. That's
good."
- The McLane Fire !?epartinent is located
at 4131 Mud Bay Road. Their telephone
number is 866-1000. Joe said that he would
love to talk to people about his job and the'
resident program. His number is 866-1664.
For once I don't have to end this by telling you to check it out because he has done
it forme. However, to encourage you a little I will just add that Joe Luders is one
of the nicest, and the funniesipeople I've
met. If he's typical of the McLane Fire
Department, working as a resident there
must be really enjoyable. What are you

Writing: at Evergreen it's supposed to be
a part of each program and every learning
experience. ;But is this actually the case or
are some students graduating without
passable Writing skills?
Rudy Martin's idea for a writing center
at Evergreen (presented by Dennis Held
in last week's CPJ seems to be a place
where students interested in writing can
improve, their craft. This sounds like a
greatTdea to me, but what about stuaents
in everyday programs who don't like
writing? Shouldn't they be able to write a
complete sentence too?
Maybe I'm overly naive, but from my
own programs, I thought students at
Evergreen were getting some good training and practice in writing. I didn't think
they could be required to write evaluations
every quarter and not have at least ade. quate writing skills. Again and again I'm
proved wrong.
I see letters and articles submitted to the
CPJ every week that are full of fragments
and run on sentences. They have major

even if it isn't an acronym.
Naturally, when one reads acronyms one
doesn't know the meaning of, it folloW's that
one invents possible meanings. As in "Feisty Unctuous Cullions Knock Motherhood."
Or, "Feckless Urban Cunnudg,oens. Kings
and Mountebanks," But that doesn't address the apstrophe, now does it?
I anxiously await your reply.
All good wishes,

In any case, I feel that it was both
manipUlative and unfair to put Cynthia
through hell in order to denounce
FUCK'M.

Fearless Mother
Asks a question
Dear Janis Byrd,
As an avid reader of absolutely
everything I can lay my hands on (I have
no taste, I suppose), I always enjoy the
Cooper Point Journal.
But I detest acronyms when they are
never spelled out. It was to no avail that
I searched every inch of copy in the May
-5 '-issue, -to--discover- what ~'Ft:JCR'-M" ..
stands for.
Of course, I am , assuming that
"FUCK'M" is an acronym. Perhaps it is
merely a socio-political statement? but it
does seem to be the title a group of persons
have adopted, and for that reason, I am
enonnously interested in what, it stands for,

ERC says
thank you
Dear Janis,
The Environmental Resource Center
would like to sincerely thank you and the
entire statiof the CPJfor your e'ffo-rfs' during Earth Month. It was a pleasure to work
with the paper. The coverage was accurate
and of very high quality . Your efforts have
all been appreciated. Thanks!
Sincerely Yours,

Is Evergreen writing for real?

,

,

I happened to be in the CAB the day that
an open-mike conflict ensued between two
students, Cynthia Phillips, and a member
of the Indian organization here on campus.
To me, it was clearly a conflict between two
individuals, not two student organizations.
Cynthia was very upset about the whole
sItuatIon and,wanted to try and resolve the
conflict. Since she did not know the other
student, she felt that the best thing to do
would be to write a letter expressing her
desire to talk to the other student about the
,whole disagreement. She made two copies
of the letter, giving one to MEChA and the
other to The Indian organization.
I don't think it takes a genius to figure
out that the best way to deal with this situation would have been to set up a meeting
between the two individuals who had the
misunderstanding. Yet, to my knowledge,
no such effort was made. Instead, MEChA
(or an individ1.!~_twithin ~ECh.A) se~d the
- opportunity to denounce FUC~'M by us'

Writing: at Evergreen it's supposed to be
a part of each program and every learning
experience. But is this actually the case or
are some students graduating without
passable Writing skills?
,Rudy Martin's idea for a writing center
at Evergreen (presented by Dennis Held
in last week's CPJ seems to be a place
where students interested in writing can
improve their craft. This sounds like a
great idea to me, but what about stuaents
in everyday programs who don't like
writing? Shouldn't they be able to write a
complete sentence too?
Maybe I'm overly naive, but from my
own programs, I thought students at
Evergreen were getting some good training and practice in writing. I didn't think
they could be required to write evaluations
every quarter and not have at least adequate writing skills. Again and again I'm
proved wrong.
I see letters and articles submitted to the
CPJ every week that are full offragments
and run on sentences. They have m~or

even if it isn't an acronym.
Naturally, when one reads acronyms one
doesn't know the meaning of, it follows that
one invents possible meanings. As in "Feisty Unctuous Cullions Knock Motherhood."
Or, "Feckless Urban Curmudgoens. Kings
and Mountebanks." But that doesn't address the apstrophe, now does it?
I anxiously await your reply.
All good wishes,

In any case, I feel that it was both
manipUlative and unfair to put Cynthia
through hell in order to denounce

Asks a question
Dear Janis Byrd,
As an avid reader of absolutely
everything I can lay my hands on (I have
no taste, I suppose), I always enjoy the
Cooper ,Point Journal.
But I detest acronyms when they are
never spelled out. It was to no avail that
_ I.sear.ched eyery..inch..of copy-,m-the May
5 issue, to discover what "FUCK'M"
stands for.
Of course, I am. assuming that
"FUCK'M" is an acronym. Perhaps it is
merely a socio-political statement? but it
does seem to be the title a group of persons
have adopted, and for that reason, I am
enonnously interested in what,it stands for,

Q

I happened to be in the CAB the day that
an open-mike conflict ensued between two
students, Cynthia Phillips, and a member
of the Indian organization here on campus.
To me, it was clearly a conflict between two
individuals, not two student organizations.
Cynthia was very upset about the whole
situatfo'n and wanted to try and resolve the
conflict. Since she did not know the other
student, she felt that the best thing to do
would be to write a letter expressing her
desire to talk to the other student about the
,whole disagreement. She made two copies
of the letter, giving one to MEChA and the
other to The Indian organization.
I don't think it takes a genius to figure
out that the best way to deal with this situation would have been to set up a meeting
between the two individuals who had the
misunderstanding. Yet, to my knowledge,
no such effort was made. Instead, MEChA
(or an individiial wfthin MEChA) seizedtne-;'
opportunity to denounce FUCK'M by using Cynthia as a spring board. Hence, a letter was sumbitted to the CPJ, Free Press,
and other organizations on campus.
Cynthia went to MEChA to help her
solve a conflict between herself and ~nother
student of color. Perhaps it was wrong for

Counselors help folks confidentially
by Sha11J Smith, Director of the Counseling and Health Center, and Barnbam Gibson, Mental Health Counselor
The human beings at the· Counseling
Center want the Evergreen community to
understand who we are and what we do.
We are proud of our work and the services
we provide to the students, so recent, direct
and indirect attacks have stung.
Confidentiality is basic to the way we
function; it is the first principle of the
counseling profession and we are exceedingly protective of our clients' privacy.
Our confidentiality policy is shown, in
writing, to everyone who comes here. It
means basically we do not reveal anything
about a client to anyone outside this office.
It states that confidentiality is not observed only in specific circumstances: l)if the
client gives written permission, 2)if we
believe the client is a danger to herlhimself
or others, 3) is child abuse/neglect or sexual harrassment at this College is involved. "Danger to self and others" requires us,
professionally, to consult with other professionals in order to save lives. This we do.
For instance, if a client tells us he is suicidal
and a self-destructive act seems imminent,
we must act to secure his safety, which
might mean calling the police or referring
to a Mental Health Professional who might
commit him to a hospital where he will be
safe. Involuntary hospitaiization can only
be done by the offical Mental Health Pro,
fessional, a person designated by the county to perform that function. We do not
make the decision ourselves. This is a rare
and extreme circumstance. Usually a
suicidal client is scared enough to go to a
hospital or other safe place voluntarily. I
can remember involuntary hospitalization
happening only two or three times in the
past four years.
Our participation, as professional staff
members, in the Emergency Communica- .
tion N etwork"has ended, and the Network
itself has disbanded. It is understandable
that students would not like the possibility that staff members were talking about
them without their knowledge. I would not
like that if I were a student, even if lknew
the consulations were for my own good. The
Emergency Communication Network made
some mistakes in procedure because the
rules have never been clear. The Social
Contract is a beautifully idealistic but vague
document. It was written during a time
when the College was smaller, more intimate, more 1rusting, and when everyone
was less legalistic and litigious.

Counseling Center:

and staft'. Always the criterion for cr!miJtal
trespassing or msenrOlling a person'was·the
breaking of the Soci&I CQntract: ~, the
Counseling ·Center·itself 'bas no pow~r to

. . i
'.

The Network, in my experience, alway8
operated in a humanistic, caring, compassionate and try-to-be-helpful spirit. In fact,
many times I believe the Adjucicator and
the Network erred on the side of giving
students a second-a third-and ninth
chance when it was not a workable situation. We were "softies."· Our goal was
always to help students stay in school iOt
was at all possible. Our second goal at Network meetings was to protect the
Evergreen community from students (and
non-student intuders) who were disruptive,
abusive, and · violent. The imposing of
"criminal trespass," for instance, was used as a method of keeping mostly nonstudents and also a few students, out of the
environment where they had repeatedly
caused trouble for other students, facul~y

The role of the COP,'" Center at the
Emergency Colllnnl"~ N~ttfork was
one of CODlIlltant. We did not break the confidentiality of our elients at the ,Network
unless we ~re ethically ~d l~~ Correct
in doing so, in accordance with o~written
policy. If one of our clients': names was
brought up by other members of the Net.work, we did not aclmowie<Jge that this person was attendiI;lg counseling·sessionS here.
We did give consultation, advice and suggestions about student proplems that were
reported by' other N etwork mem~rs.

student is mandated to Corne to the
Center for counseling, either by Housing
or the Adjudicator. This is always .t he consequence of some disruptive, 8I)ti-social or
self-destructive and disturbing behavior
that vio1ates the Social Contract or the Safety of the student ~lf or others. It is also
the result of a choice the student has made:
to come to this Center rather than seek professional help elsewhere, or leave Housing
or the con. . COunseling under these conditions is difficult,:as 'it always is, when a
client feels pressUred. It doesn't UBUally
work. If we are asked to, we do report to

the Housing office or the Adjudicator
whether the student is attending counseling sessions-but only with the written permission of that student. We never divulge
the content of our counseling work.
I hope this clarifies and reassures student
who have sought or might seek out our services. It hurts to know there are students
who need and want our help but who are
afraid to come because they have been told
by someone that their confidentiality will
not be respected here. To make it crystal
clear: we will not "report" you to Security, "the Administration," your parents,

Ronald Reagan, or anyone else simply
because you are on drugs, are disturbed or
unhappy, or have even committed a crime.
You are safe with us. We care about your
welfare. We want to help.
We feel confident that we provide good
services. But our clients do not usually
testify in public about how much they were
helped-counseling is a private matter. We
can't brag about our successes. We don't
care about that. But we do care that you
know the truth about the Counseling
Center.

trust of people who have themselves been
victimS. No member of our group believes
t~t this can ever be gained by victimizing
or threatening anyone.
S.A!.C.R.E.D. has three important goals:
We promote public policy which protects
and strengthen individual rights. We SUDport individuals who have been abused or
had their rights trampled on. We want
Evergreen to "ten the story like it is," and
make changes in staff-from the Vice President on down-to make sure that the pe0ple who have done this no longer have con, tact with or affect the lives of students.
There are many ways that we can do this.
Although none of us are lawyers, we can
remind you of your rights-the rights .that
they taught us aobut in our high school
Civics class. If these have been denied, we
can suggest ways to look for legal help.
We can advise you: "Read your Security
repqrts! You have a right to do this, and

there may be more there than you think.
It's better to find out now than one day to
be confronted, as we have been, with ~long
list of supposed "crimes"-erimes with
names like ''behavioralfmfonnational,'' and
"suspicious circumstances," or "Network."

Astrology question
Shepard Brookes
I t would seem to me that the intelligent
and thoughtful action of the CJPwould be
to educate themselves and to define the
subject of astrology before they posed the
question in Greenerspeak: "Do you believe
in astrology?" You do a disservice to many
people's personal beliefs if you generalize
or take so lightly a subject you know little
about.
Quite understandably, the reactions you
received to this question in Greenspeak are
mostly the products of ignorance. None of
these people (nor the CPJ) know anything
about astrology, nor have they studied or
researched it. When Isaac Newton was
assailed by a "colleague" for his belief in
the subject of asrology, he ended his futile
attempt to debate the issue with "You have
not studied the matter, Sir. I have. Until
that time, I conclude this discussion."
I am an astrologer. I don't predict the
future, tell fortunes, waer flowing orange
robes while gazing into a crystal ball, or
consult the stars for decision-making, moral
or otherwise. Nor do I read or endorse the
newspaper horoscopes with their oversimplified generalizations prositutued for
entert8inment's sake. For the record,
newspaper horoscopes use
one
onethousandth of the intricate
mathematical framework that makes up
what is known as professional astrological
practice.
Astrology is a Bet ofarchetypes used to study human psychological interaction. It is a tool for understanding interaction on many levels.
Astrology is intricate and diverse, but
generally speaking does not have anything
to do with predictions or mandates from
some mystical source. It has nothing to do
with fate, nor does it acknowledge its existence in· the stars or anywhere else. '
To Mr. Ejiawoko: Astrology has nothillg
to do with denying or taking the place of
Jesus, God, Christianity or any other
denomina~ion, religion, or philosophy. It is
not part of a system of dependance or
idolatry as the ancient Hebrews (also
uneducated) and Christians assumed it to
be. Since this is an Old Testament complaint based on the fear of something "coming before God, -worshiped before God',' it
can be eliminated as a threat to modern
Christianity. It even shares something in
common with it. Both have gone through
a great deal of growth and restructuring
since "The" Bible was written. Both are

•

IS

uneducated

diverse and run the gamut of conservative
and liberal believers. The main difference: .
Christianity is an organized religion;
astrology is just one of many tools for
understanding our fellow man. Just as in
organized religion, in astrology there are
"followers" who rely on it and depend on
it, blindly accepting it without questioning
it from intellectual or moral perspective.
Those who choose to do this are more than
entitled to do so, but are missing the point
as much as those spouting or repeating

uneducated judgements. Astrology is a tool.
People can abuse tools or Use them with
discretion.
I have studied astrology both superficially and at depth for nearly ten years.
For those hwo aren't interested,t hat's just
fine.
For myself, it is a cunous, fun, enlightening tool for understanding potentials. I do
not depend on it, nor do I live it to the point
of exclusion or saturation.

racism/sexism exhibited in a flier

l As most of qs know, Fresia ;is a strong
~~vocate of student a\Jtonomy~ Even so, in
aprepared statement; Fresia accepted full
responsibility for the actions of his
s~dentS. He admitted feeling guilty for not

by the flier. He regretted that it took

evening,
the comments of Gail

11remblay and S,t qne Thomas addressed
~sia's plea by offering sound criticism of
the student group's methods and by suggesting better altem~tives. However what
Eresia received from IQ.any others was a
fiereecondemnation·of his teaching ability.

Through the collective comments of other
key speakers, I go the feeling the general
message being~promoted was thJlt none of
thiS would have hlpj>ened if Fresia had not
encouraged his stu~ents to stand up for
tMir .ideals without compromise.
I have learned that Fresia made it clear
to his students fror,n the out~t, that the
ldeals they were embracing· demanded
listening to ~d cooperating with people of
color and the appropriate campus groups
repre~nting them. That his students chose
not to follow his good advise is unfortunate
and Wrong. That Fresia allow~d his
students to make this mistake in spite of
knowing the significant problems which
may (and did) result from their actions is
coriunendable. •
In his statement, Fresia outlined a
-nwnber- of-clas8, te~-addFessing-the
concerns of people ()f cOlor. It was noted by
his , cz:itics that simply including such
literatUre in the cWJsroom is not in itself
sufficient. I agree. Studying the interactionlop~te88ion
between race and sex is
,
more · tll8n a · cerebral exercise. It is
somethlni that inust be confronted through

in atioWU,lt.'his students toioilow the path
they had . chosen. Had Fresia used his
power as faculty to dicta~ a ~datory
dialogu~ with appropriate oi-ganizations, he
would have protected his students from
their own ignorance, a betrayal, of his
obligati~ns as ,faculty.
Everyone (myself included), agreed that
the ·caricature depicted by the flier was
deplorable. It Was also widely believed that

the flier's offense was not intentional but
inherent ~ everyone's latently racist/sexist worldview. It is true that had Fresia
played it safe and dictated that his class
adhere to his good advice from the outset,
none of this would have happened. The
thoughts which breed this almost
subliminal form of exploitation would still
be there, but 'Ye would be "safely" unware
of them. their matted roots buried inside
us, their ugly heads unable to penetrate the
protective pavement laid by the lmowledge
of faculty. Such an act would be offensive
to all parties and worse, its inherent danger
would not have been realized by students,
staff of faculty.
Fresia is only guilty of having the courage
to .allow his students to venture beyond
Evergreen's protective shell, knowing fully_the~potential for failure. Through such
failure these students have faced theiiii"norance and have finally been exposed to
the concerns of people of color in a way no
textbook or faculty lecture could have
delivered.
.
Yes, the flier was racist and; sexist and,
to some extent, so was the decision making organization of the political group
responsible for -its distribution. But we
must not forget that those responsible ,d id
not intend to offend or degrade anyone.
They only meant to criticize-the actionS of
college professionals. If it where not for the
courage of Fresia and the astute awareness,
comp~ion,and concern of the first people
community, the Evergreen community
would have again been protected from their
own ignorance.

Alumni
Dear Editor:
Every year our office sends out questionnaires and surveys to our last year's
gTaduates (1987) to see how and what they
are doing with their lives. Because one of
our graduates was in Africa working for
tJte Peace Corps, his mother wrote to give
us his new address and enclosed a letter he
wrote to her in April. After reading this,
I couldn't help but think, "Wouldn't it be
just W01Ulerful if aU these so-called activist
groups on campus could direct all their
time and energies into helpirig people like
one of their colleagu.es is doing? I would
think a lot more satisfaction could come
from helping an 11 yr. old child than who,t
they (groups) are doing at the moment. " If
it is po8sible to print this letter, please do
so-I'm sure the parents wouldn't mind.

Dear Family,
Greetings in the name of Lord Jesus
Christ. Just a letter to say hello and I love
you among other things. Sorry I haven't
had a chance to write about more of the experiences I'm having from this part of the
world.
I wanted to make this letter a request
concerning a certain issue. I extend this request to the family (immediate or extended) and neighbors.
Case in point.
As I was walking through the town this
one day and saw this little boy, David
Nyemah (11 yrs old) and noticed an abnormality in his' lower right leg. I thought it
was elephantitiasis but it turned out that it
was a severe bone infection. His tibia (shin
bone) had been broken almost 5 years ago.
The bone continued to press outward over
, the years and at the current state the bone
actually broke through the skin and is protruding about four inches out. I'm sorry to
be descriptive but its one of the most
bizarre things I have ever seen. It looked.
like
this.

Africa needs help

I knew I had to take him to the hospital.
At school is he humiliated because no one
wants to sit by him. I wasn't surprised that
the parents never took him to the doctor.
But, of course they took him to the country doctor to perform "African science" on
him but this injUI"Y was beyond what any
herb or country medicipe could cure. The
official diagnosis from the doctor at the

protruding from anterior aspect ofrniddle '
1/3 tibia. I was amazed to hear that the bone
could be removed without amputation. He
said that this is a rare case in that no one
ever lets it go this far.
The mother could not iuford to have
surgery done on him and the father left the '
family a while back. Anyhow, I agreed to
handle the financial aspects this operation because I c.ould not bear.. to l.et this ki_d _.
walk- around- Il1, such 'a situation ram ' aware of all the legal and social' commitments to such a situation so I have
taken extreme caution in clarifying that
my sole responsibilty would be financial. If
anything went wrong, the families may, ~d
have, charge the volunteer or 'the U.S.
Government with the responsibilty of dealing with the child. Sometimes even making '
that person responsible for the child for the
rest of his life. So I am taking care in this
respect.
The cost ofthe operation and care afterwards up to six months is going to be $1,000
dollars. This is very cheap for such an
operation. The surgery itself is only $100.
So what I am putting before you Mom,
Dad, Teri, Ruth, David, Mic~ael, Mariella,
Phillip, Loretta, is an etTort to maybe put
aside a small amount of your income to
make this operation possible. Marlella and
Teri, may I suggest that you write a little
flyer on this and post it at work for your
coworkers to see. Obviously, the more people that can contribute, the less people have

you assume responsiblity' of this? We will
all keep in prayer an~ ask the Lord to speak

women should be castigated by their

Opera ain't iust fat vibrattos
by Whitney Ware
On.June 1, at 8 pm-in the TESC Recital
Hall, Evergreen sophomores Mary Eiland
and Cheri Sainsbury will be presenting a
classical vocal recital.
This kind of student-presented event is
rare on campus, according to Eiland.
Evergreen Expressions, the arts and entertainments program coordinated by faculty
Ed Trujillo, supports the majority of the
similar events, and usually features nonEvergreen individuals.
,
"The main focus of the program is to
showcase our work this quarter in an opera
workshop, which our faculty Bill Winden is
sponsoring us in," says Eiland.
Both students have studied voice for
years. Eiland has sung semi-professionally
for four years, specializing jl}jazz, and was
cast in last year's campus production of
Barnum as Jenny Lind, the lead female
role. Sainsbury plans on becoming an
elementary music teacher. Both won

Olympia Opera Guild, first and second place
respectively.
The first part of the program, according
to Eiland, will be a collection of light
classical works, which Eiland laughingly
calls a "beautiful, sensitive type of utopian
music," followed in the second half by
pieces from Mozart's The Marriage of
Figarro and Gosi Van Tutti. While some
of the operatic works will be performed in
German, most of the lyrics will be in
English.
"Opera is usually associated with fat
women with out-of-control vibrattos... a
show you would usually fall asleep at," says
Eiland. "But, the way we are performing
them, these excerpts are quite entertaining. They are staged in very creative
ways-and sung in English. The words are
understandable!
"This really is fun," she adds. "We have
a really high energy level, and we're having a ball. This is going to be a really great

walkin' stick!
