Congratulations to the April 6 Committee, they pulled together quite a
day. I have to admit wondering as I
heard rumors of the last minute
preparations, w,ether or not 'Mt 'Mtre
in for a r~1 Hop. I'm glad I YtOS wong.
Unfortunately, all campus governance day proved my suspicions right
in another area. I've al\MIYS known
most Greeners aren't seriously interested in governance, but it's a difficult hunch to prove. Especially
because w,en anyone is asked about
governance most say "I'm interested,
I just don't have the time."
Yet, All Campus Governance Day
rolls around and folies stroll on by.
And, I admit, I only participated in the
morning sessions. After all, it \MIS press
day and our press \MIS on the blink.
See w,at I mean? Everyone has an
excuse.
Worse than the students thoL!gh, are
the considerable number of faculty
w,o failed to participate and failed to
respond to the April 6 Comrrittee's request for their program's participation.
It seems to me, one of the reasons for
teaching here has to center around our
'alternative' community. Shame on
you for failing to inspire students to
participate in democratic learning.
Again, congratulations on a pb vwlldone. By the \MIy, has anyone considered making All Campus Governance Day, at least in mint-form, part
of Orientation Week. Seems the place
to inspire governance participants is
wth the freshrnon class.

Teaching Themselves" will be
celebrated with lectures and panels
featuring discussion with tribal elders,
performances of traditional dance, Indian arts and crafts, and other events
on campus throughout the week.
The whole week begins with opening
prayers at the welcoming pole in the
Library Loop on Monday at noon.
Some of the highlights of the week include Monday's panel discussion on
"Education and Indian People" with
Yakima elders Amelia Sampson and
Lena Sohappy Owens, Tuesday's arts,
crafts and food fair in the CAB, a
benefit Indian Fashion Show and
Salmon Dinner for the students of the

their view of the world. " Different
points of view will be shared
throughout the week, with panelists of
different ages, tribal groups and traditional ways of thought.
"Many times ow' way of expression
is not having a panel or a lecture,"
Bellon continued, "but through dancing or telling stories", But if we have

WashPIRG will begin a voter
registration drive by deputizing
registrars on April 20.
According to Washington State law,
all state agencies are suppposed to provide voter registration services, but
when 20 of these agencies were contacted for a recent WashPIRG survey,
only one actually did.
The anachronistic voter registration
laws in Washington and many other
states are considered by many to be
one of the greatest obstacles to
democratic elections. I'm constantly
amazed that in an election between a
candidate who says he will help the
working class majority, and someone
who has proven to be supportive of
elitist programs, the election would be
too close to call. Is that democracy?
The registration reforms that we
need on a state and national level will
not happen before the upcoming
presidential election. The next best
strategy is to continue to register
voters in the present system, confident

Poll Supports Campus Dogs
by Knoll Lowney
In the poll conducted by the Pet
Policy DTF on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, a substantial majority of students, staff and faculty suppOlted Proposal 2 to allow dogs to roam
free on campus. Included in the proposal was the formation of a dog
owners association which would take
responsiblity for creating a geodog
licensing program and screening out
dogs which pose a threat to the
community.
Proposal 1 called for all dogs to be
leashed at all times on campus, or to
be put in the campus kennels. Not only was this the minority opinion, but to
Opinion:
by Helen Gilmore
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong
tree, I don't know. Voting for dogs or
against dogs doesn't set right with me.
There are other alternatives to the Dog
Problem. Here's one for all of us to
ponder.
How about a Doggie Social Contract?
After the successful completion of a
standardized dog behavior test,
matriculated pups must adhere to the
Doggie Social Contract. The dogs must
answer the following questions correctly. *Questions and hints reprinted with
permission from the Washington
Highe1' Education Canine Board
training pamphlet.
1) Can you wait without barking for
your owner to return from whatever
mission they must accomplish inside
the building? It is a faux pas to bark
loudly while class is in session or to
roam around aimlessly.
2) Can you watch someone eat
without begging? Miss Manners would
not approve of such behavior from a
human. I.suggest you eat at home
and/or check the garbage discreetly for
execute such a program would take up
more of Security's time, cost more
money (new kennels have to be built,
etc.) and would do nothing to increase
pet owner responsibilty or limit the
liability of the college.
The Pet Policy DTF is currently
writing up a proposal which is a compromise between the two proposals on
the ballot. The DTF's proposal will
likely include the formation of: a pet
policy association, hitching posts for
dogs, a work study position to deal
with dog problems and as a dog patrol,
and a ban on dogs from campus during
night hours when they are more likely
to run as a pack and cause a greater
threat to wildlife.
Once the DTF's proposal is turned
in, it will be up to the administration
to accept or reject it. It will bejust one
more opportunity for the administration to show whether they are willing
to respect the opinions of a
democratically based'DTF proposal, or
if they will once again find an ex~use
to ignore the DTF and proceed with
TESC business as usual. Faculty, staff
and students are encouraged to lobby
the administration in favor of the
DTF's proposal.
The results of the poll were: 368 in
favor of proposal TWO; 211 in favor of
proposal ONE; 4 were unreadable.

available limbs of humans.
4) Do you think people are not very
smart? The pamphlet did not offer an
answer to this question. It was inserted to check your attitude.
Dogs who do not score in the 60th
percentile or above must apply to a
community college or trade school. Only exceptional community college dogs
will be allowed to transfer to four year
institutions.
Behaviors outlined in the test are
reflective of those stated in the Doggie Social Contract. Penalties are clearly presented so there will be no question as to what is offensive behavior.
On first offense, the pooch will receive
an academic warning and be reevaluated at the start of next quarter.
The second offense warrants a criminal
trespass citation and removal from
campus tor the rest of the dog's life. To
be sure that justice is maintained, The
I Got A Bone To Pick With You Board,
composed of community members
(students, staff, faculty, administrators
and dogs) will hear appeals.
Maybe, that idea is a little Fido fetched. How about a Pet Owners Social
Contract. I don't want to vote against
dogs, unless they are presidential candidates. But care, attention and
responsibility for your dog would probably have eliminated the need for this
vote. Not every dog is a problem, its
really those bad apple dog owners that
don't conform to social etiquette who
have caused the turmoil.

Lindley Writes About Disabled
April 14, 1988

Iy han his first novel published by Ednick Community Publishers in
Portland. Autumn Rose is the first in
a series of three books he plans about
a mentally disabled person.
by DmTel Riley
STUDENT: Robert Murray
PROGRAM: American WorldDemocratic Vistas
STATUS: Senior
HOMETOWN: Seattle, WA
For all appearances, you'd think
Robert MUl'ray was just anyone of the
more traditional stude nts you might
find at the UW,
Like me, he went to Lakeside High
School, a private high school in Seattle. The education we had \vas tradi·
tional, classic education with a strong
emphasis on preparation for a future
at the "best" colleges; Harvard, Yale,
Princeton, MIT, etc. Going to a college
in Washington state was frowned on,
as was going to work rather than college after high school. So, when I came
to Evergreen, I wasn't expecting to
meet anyone I knew from Lakeside.
Robert not only went to Lakeside,
but he was an upperclassman when I
was still a meaningless lowerclassman,
Even though we hung out in the same
crowds I was in awe of him, He was
suave, sophisticated, smart, and a good
friend of one of my best friends, Lisa
Hedman. Yet after graduating from
Lakeside, Robert followed a path
which is remarkable for his flouting of
our high school conventions,
Six day;; after graduation, Robert
passed the real estate licensing board
examination. At 19 he bought his first
house in Seattle. About the same
period, he was also going to Shoreline
Community College, In the summer of
1981, one year after graduation Robert
and two of his friends rode across the
country on bicycles. That trip, and his
other trips, including a recent trip to
Mexico to visit three Evergreen summer exchange students gave him the
opinion that people are basically open
and kind.
"I learned a lot about how nice peo8 pie can be to strangers on that trip.

works at Exceptional Foresters in
Shelton with developmentally disabled
adults.
This is Lindley's first year in the
Masters in Public Administration program, something he's doing mainly for
career advancement. "To have the kind
of impact I would like to have in the
field you have to have credentials,"
says Lindley. He would eventually like
to work for the state, he explains,
because that's the level where he could
affect the most change.
Autumn Rose took him four years to
write, but Lindley says "I write faster
now, I'm a little over half-wayan the
second one and I've been working a little over a year."
The story begins with the birth of a
retarded boy, Joseph Kendall in 1947.
"I worked with one person who went
through a lot of these experiences,"
says Lindley, "but he's really a com.
posite of a lot of people."

People took us home, invited us in, and
fed us dinner. Sometimes we would
sleep in their back yards or their
garages, and a couple of times we even
had beds.
"The further we got from Seattle the
more impressed people got, and the
nicer they were, The people were
especially kind in the Midwest. They
were not as nice as we went further
South, around Kentucky and Ten·
nessee. I don't think they understood
what we were doing."
Robert likes his program, American
World/Democratic Vistas,
"A lot of it is essentially political
theory. I really like it, much of it is new
to me. The language arid concepts are
immediately applicable to things I'm
doing n0W, or anticipate doing in the
future, However, it's really hard
because there is a lot of work. The
depth of the material we are studying
isn't wholly fathomable, it goes on
forever, "
He is also an unabashed exponent of
Evergreen's philosophy.
"I think the people in my class
honestly want to create a lea111ing com·
munity in our program,
"I was in Evergreen's management
program last year, Mamgement in the
Public Interest, and I really erUoyed it.
The teachers in both programs were
competent and helpful to the students,
and interested in what students want
and need. Evergreen has a consistent
number of good teachers. One of the
best is Charlie Teske, He has the abili·
ty to explain difficult concepts with
such a delicious style that even a thick·
headed student can understand them.

Joey was born with brain damage,
not an uncommon beginning to life. The
triumphs and travails of his childhood
will ring very familiar in the ears of
families of the mentally or physically
challeng.ed. They will enlighten all
those who hear them with a clearer
understanding of the confusion, the
frenzy, and the absurdity of trying to
raise a special child while maintaining
a socially correct image,
One particular beauty of Lindley's
work is that he puts Joey's thought
processes into words, Joey knows that
his father devalues him, and yearns to
hear him say, "Come on, son, let's get
a soda pop after the show. " As a school
child, we feel his anger building as he
is ridiculed and bullied, and then
responds "inappropriately" by lashing
out at the bully with a two·by·four.
It is as though we are watching the
scene with X·ray glasses. We see what

AIDS and
AIDS: Another look at risk
by Philip Bransford
AIDS is a big problem. It is a big pro·
blem internationally as well as in the
United States. Just how big is the
problem?
According to the World Health
Organization (WHO), there were
73,747 reported cases of AIDS
worldwide as of December 9, 1987. According to the Washington State
Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), 52,256 people in America
were reported as having AIDS as of
January 1988. Out of that number, the
DSHS recorded 742 cases of AIDS in
the state of Washington as of February
1988. Epidemiologists around the country expect these numbers to increase.
A question often addressed in the
media these days is: "How well do
these numbers reflect the threat of
AIDS to the general hetrosexual
population of this country?" Recent
AIDS probably won't
significantly
impact
general heterosexual communities in the U.S.
epidemiological studies suggest thatin terms of the previously anticipated
prevalence of AIDS within the general
heterosexual
population-these
numbers are not reflecting an explosive crisis. Despite the plauge-like
destruction of the gay communities in
San Francisco and New York, AIDS
probably won't significantly impact
general heterosexual communities in
the United States, according to AIDS
10 experts around the country.
How is this possible?
In order to understand the answer to
this question, the nature of the disease
must be understood. AIDS stands for
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. It is a disease caused by a virus.
The virus, called Human Immunoediciency Virus (HIV), tends to be
transmitted from person to person during an exchange of three particular
bodily fluids: blood, semen and vaginal
secretions. There tends to be a lagtime, or incubation period, between the
time a person is infected with HIV and
the time a person will probably develop
AIDS. In an article in the February 5th
issue of Science magazine published
this year, Epidemiologists James W.
Curran et al. cite studies showing incubation periods being anywhere from
7.8 years to 8.23 years for adults and
1. 97 years for childl'en.
There is also a time period between
when a person develops AIDS and
when that person will probably die. According to the data collected by the
DSHS concerning reported cases of
AIDS in the United States, most AIDS
patients die within 2 to 3 years of
developing the disease.
Since the disease first surfaced in
1981, AIDS has been most prevalent
within specific groups of people called
"risk groups." Most agencies cite the
following six groups as being risk
groups: homsexuallbisexual men,
intravenous

also intravenous drug users, Haitians,
Central Africans and Hemophiliacs.
The sexual partners of these groups of
people are also considered at risk.
Scientists have suggested that a person's connection to risk groups or the
type of activities that members of risk
groups tend to engage in and the
amount of HIV-infected bodily fluids
exchanged over time, seem to be the
two important factors in HIV transmission. In the October 29th issue of the
New England Journal of Medicine
published last year, AIDS specialists
Gerald H. Friedland, M.D. and Robert
S. Klein, M.D. acknowledged data suggesting these two important determinants for HIV transmission:

strongly 1'elated to personal and
cultural patterns of behaviorparticularly, sexual activity aud the
use of drugs.
How does all this relate to the threat
to heterosexuals?
Unlike other sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), HIV tends to be inefficient at transmitting itself during sexual intercourse between heterosexuals.
According to the articles by Friedland,
Klein and Curran et al. mentioned
above, the HIV transmission rate between heterosexual couples-even
couples practicing "unsafe" sex-tends
to be much less than 100 percent. As
Curran et al. point: out, in most
studies concerned with instances of
See page
10
HIV transmission between risk group
members and their heterosexual partners, "no more than 50 percent of partners have been infected."
This is an important dissimilarity
between HIV and other STDs according to George Rutherford,' M.D.,
Medical Director of the AIDS office at
the San Francisco Department of
Health. In a phone interview conducted earlier this month, Rutherford
remarked, "We don't see these long
chains of transmission like we do in
other sexually transmitted diseases."
Concerning a single instance of unprotected vaginal ± penile intercourse
between a heterosexual couple,
Rutherford said the transmission rate
was "probably less than one percent."
Despite this inefficiency, however,
Rutherford stressed that "heterosexual transmission (of HI V) is a very real
problem in the U.S."
The problem, however, seems to be
directly related to the extent of a
heterosexual person's connection to
r'isk groups and risk group behavior,
according to recent epidemiological
studies. According to the Centers for
Disease Control, these studies were
conducted between 1985 and late 1987
in six different cities across the United
States including San Diego, Denver,
Jacksonville, Baltimore, New York and
Seattle. There was also a statewide
study conducted in Arizona in 1987. In
these studies, epidemiologists or city
health department officials who were
coming into sexually transmitted
disease clinics. The interviews were used as a screen so that-as long as the
participants were not lying-the
epidemiologists would have a random
sample of heterosexuals with little or
no connection to risk groups or risk
group behavior. After the interviews
the participants were tested for HrV
prevalence.

In a phone interview conducted
earlier this month, Epidemiologist
Mary Ann Chiasson of the New York
City Department of Health, AIDS
Res.earch Unit, explained the logic
behllld testing STD clinic patrons. According to Chiasson, STD patrons
tend to practice unsafe sex.
"You don't get to an STD clinic if
you've only had sex with your wife for
twenty years," she said. Chiasson also
noted that, in the study she helped conduct, a large number of STD patrons
had multiple partners and did not use
condoms.
Despite this prevalence of unsafe sex
practices within the sample popUlation,
the results from the studies taken
across the country tended to be SUl'prisingly low; between 0 and 4.2 percent of the sample population was HIV
posi~ive depending on what type of intervIew was used and which city the
study was conducted in.
In New York, for example, 606 people were interviewed and tested. Mter

study was completed, about 1.7 percent
of the original 606 participants tested

AIDS Symposium Slated
by Dawn Weber
One of the first statewide AIDS symposiums will be held at the EvergreeJl
campus April 21, 22, and 23. The symposium will look at the scientific,
medical, political, economic, health and
media issues of the disease.
Ed Wells, a science student here at
Evergreen, and Jutta Riediger of the
Olympia AIDS Task Force, are coor-dinators of the symposium. "Most of
the stuff that's been done about AIDS
is on prevention: AIDS 101 basically or
(about) specific issues," said Wells.
"T~is is probably one of the first symposIUms that will be looking at all the
different issues AIDS is bringing up."
Each day will have a different theme.
On Thursday, "The Realities of AIDS"
will be examin~d, offering workshops
such, as gay/lesbian issues and
drug/alcohol abuse and Aibs. A local
premiere uf the award-winning play
"As Is" will also be featured in the
evening.
On Friday, "The Issues of AIDS"
such as human rights, education and
the media will be discussed. There will
also be a benefit dance Friday evening
featuring the band "Herd of Turtles."
The symposium's highlight will be on
Saturday, when Randy Shilts, author
of the 'book And the Band Played On
will discuss "Politics, People and th~
AIDS Epidemic."
The symposium is free to students
because Wells feels they have impor~
tant decisions to make.
"They're at a time in their life when
there's lots of experimentation going
on with sex and drugs and they need
this education," said Wells. He hopes
it will bring up general awareness and
help students realize the impact AIDS
has on our society.
"These are issues that they will have
to deal with as they graduate and get
back to the real world. And students

Evergreen assists sister school
by lnnerplace staff
In 1980 the University of E I Salvador
was attacked by the armed forces of El
Salvador and closed for four years. Up
until that time, the University had
been the primary institution of higher
education for middle class and some
lower class people in El Salvador, and
the only autonomous university in EI
Salvador. Since its beginning, the
university had been a center for pl'O'
gressive thought and the education of
doctors, agronomists, and engineel's to
serve the needs of the Salvadoran
people.
In 1984 the university reopened but
the destruction to the university caus·
ed by the attack was still evident.
Books had been burned, microscopes
destroyed, and many classes met in
bombed-out buildings without walls,
and the continued threat of another
attack.
In an effort to gain international support for the University, Antonio
Quezada, the student body president of
UES visited the Evergreen State College in October of 1985, As a result of
Antonio's visit, TES(; officially became
a Sister College to UES in June of
1986.
The Sister College Project has been
meeting weekly since Queada's visit,
This year we are forming a rapid
response network: a network designed to respond quickly to a human rights
violation, such as an abduction or
disturbance, when a student or
member of a peace organization is abducted or has disappeared, we are
notified and activate our phone tree. In
this way, people are immediately
alerted to the situation and may then
send telexes, letters or call E"l
Salvador. Since this response has been
organized internationally, the pressure
put on the officials of EI Salvador
usually results in the release of said
person. In the spring of 1986, Antonio
Quezada was abducted, and then
released as direct result of such
pressure.
With such political and financial support from colleges around the world,
UES has continued to operate and be
a force for change in EI Salvador. For

Serving up computer basics
by Darrel Riley
The Evergreen computer center has
gone through significant changes lately. However, it's difficult to say what
the changes are without explaining
what they mean, So .. ,
Evergreen has a bunch of microcomputers, a minicomputer (the Data
General Eclipse) and a couple of computers in-between microcomputers and
minicomputers (3B2's). Yes folks, this
is the era of confusion, where some
microcomputers are faster than mainframe computers and the categorization of computers is completely
unclear,
The ATT microcomputers in the
microcomputer lab devote their attention to one person at a time, Up until
this quarter, when more than one person wanted to print, a small box called
a printer buffer recorded the information which each microcomputer sent
out and fed it slowly to the printer, a
sort of primitive queue, (Queue is the
international word fol' line and it is used a lot in computer circles.) This worked, but there were only six computers
hooked to the printer buffers and users
constantly interrupted each other to
print.
This quarter almost all of the
microcomputers in the microcomputer
lab are on a network, What is a net-
14
work? You might think of it as a
restaurant with a single server
(waiter), Each client (diner) sits at their
own table, When the client wants
something it must get the attent~on of
the server, However, the server won't
come over to get the client's order until he/she is sure that order is complete.
When the server is convinced the order
is complete he/she goes to the kitchen
and puts the client's request in the
queue for service.
The network functions almost the
same way as our imaginary restaurant.
There's one computer, called a server,
which takes the requests from its
clients (almost every microcomputer in
the lab) to use a resource or perform
a service, like print a letter, To make
sure the client computers aren't upset
about sharing their requests with other
computers on the network the server
tricks them into thinking they are talking directly to the printer, or to any
other resource they are requesting, instead of talking to another computer,
(For you techies, the network software
on each machine invokes the MS-DOS
redirector to assign the client
machine's internal resources to network resources,) Because of this trick
there are two major differences in the
way the ATT microcomputers work
this quarter,
The first difference is that a print request must be sent to the right device
drivers and the request must be complete befl're the server will pay attention to it. What that means is that if
you use WordPerfect, for instance, you
must say yes when it first asks
whether you are going to print this session and then exit the program after
you have sent a print request. This
tells the server that you are done sending requests and you are ready to
have them printed. One more time.
You lOu"t exit the program before the
network server knows that you want
to print. Make sure you saved your
document before you exit,
The second difference is that programs which aren't "well-behaved"
(yes, this is really a computer term)
won't get access to the network
resources.1'his happens because when
a programmer writes a program, the
program isn't supposed to grab what
it want directly, It is supposed to ask
the operating system, the program
that manages the computer's
resources, like the screen, keyboard,
disks, etc, However, asking the
operating system is slow, so some programmers didn't both to ask, they just
grabbed what they wanted, Those "illbehaved" programs, like Framework,
won't be able to use the network
resources (such as printers), the net·
work ignores them, This should show
you how important polite behavior is,
even in computers. If yhou are using
Lotus, or VP-planner ask a consultant
how to access the network printers.
In addition to the network, the
microcomputer lab has new A IT
microcomputers, which are faster and
have more storage, These new computers use a different type of floppy
disk, Think of it this way, A disk is rust
on plastic, but metaphorically a disk is
a blank piece of paper. Computers
write really fast and so they can't write

governance
Students experience
Jonathan P. Knapp: fourth year student, currently in "American Worlds,
Democratic' Vistas. "
When I showed up for the activities
on Governance Day I did not believe
that everyone there would share my
ideas about the role of governance at
Evergreen. I was rwt disappointed.
People's ideas seemed to run the gamut
from not krwwing EvergTeen had a
problem with governance to krwwing
what the problems of governance are
and some ways to go about !tXing
them, At this point I find talk of solutions a little premature, I don't think
enough ofus understand the nature of
the pro'blems yet. In order to further
our understanding our understanding
of the issues involved in governance I
want to put forward a few areas of inquiry that will shed light on the problem8. These are issues that came up
in my conversations with people about
governance.
The dilemma of the democratic
ideal. Evergreen does not exist
autonomously. It is a part of the state.
I t has obligations outside of the college
community as well as within. The college is administered hierarchically
through its Board of Trustees.
Members of the Board serve at the
governor's pleasure. Within such a
nondemocratic structure, is it possible
to establish a more democratic component? This is not a rhetorical question.
It may be possible for some realitively
democratic body to act under the direction of a ruling oligarchy. Forms of
government are, in practice, often inixed. But the larger question about the
democratic ideal is whether or not a
democratic element in governance is,
in fact, desirable. Do people really
want to get in there and hash it out
with others over real issues; or do they
really prefer to acquiesce to the decisions of "the authorities" as long as
things don't get too bad? Making deci-
sions is hard work; it is much easier to
let others make them for you.
The . nature - of Political power.
There is an almost overwhelming
temptation to talk about power as
though it were a thing. We almost
think of it as something you can grasp
with your hand. We say, "So and so
holds power." We think of it .as
something that can be given or received. "The President finished his term
today, handing his powers over to his
successor." But I do not think power
is a thing; it is an activity. People "take
power" by politicizing themselves, by
realizing an interest and acting for it.
To wait for someone else to confer
power on you is to delude yourself
about dynamic nature of power itself.
The tyranny of ideas over experience. Here in the Evergreen community there are a certain number of
ideas, represented by terms we all
know, that have become a part of the

culture specific to Evergreen. I call
them "Greener-isms." They are part of
the college vocabulary: "palticipation,"
" non-confrontation," "community,"
"consensus decision-making," "non. competitiveness," "conflict resolution." All these tern1S reflect underlying values that tend, more or less, to
be held by Greeners, and inform the
kinds of debate that Greeners can have
about an iss ue. I think that we need to
be more critical about these terms and
not accept them as absolutely useful in
the chaning environment that is
Evergreen. Must everyone really participate in governance? It is really
possible to work out all problems in a
spirit of non -confrontation? In what
sense is Evergreen a community?
What happens if there are interests
within the community that clash irreconcilably? Is it reasonable to
assume that all members of a 4000
member community will ever really be
of one mind about anything? What do
we mean by consensus? Must all conflict be resolved? If so, why? There are
many more "Greenerisms" to explore,
some of which I am sure I am not even
aware. But it is crucial to understand
what they are, and what they mean to
us, before we can press them into service as the vehicle for the expression
of our ideals.

Having neglected to read any of the
numerous signs posted about it, I had
no idea that All Campus Governance
and Communications Day was to take
place Wednesday, April 6. The
previous day I somehow managed to
oversleep by about five or six hours, so
I missed any mention about the event
that took place in my program. (I also
missed a good program workshop.)
I guess it must have been around
eleven-thirty in the morning on Gover-
nance Day when I finally appeared in
the CAB building. I wondered what all
the people were doing there, and why
a steel drum band was performing;
. however, as I had business to attend
to in the library building, I did not
tarry to find out.
Upon completing my mission in the
library, I returned to the CAB building
to find myself at some sort of openmike gripe session. At this point I
determined to find out just what was
going on; I made my way to the Student Communication Center, where I
received a schedule of events and
learned that I should have met with my .
program that morning. Af? it stood, I
still had time to attend an afternoon
workshop and a brainstorming session.
I decided, during lunch, to go to the
workshop entitled "Communication: A
Tool or Weapon" . Despite a pathetic
student turnout, faculty member John
Thorne delivered a fascinating presentation and generated a lively discussion. He spoke about the subconscious
impact of words like "freedom," "individualism," and "truth," and how individuals can interpret such·words differently . He asked if free speech required a listener: after all, what good
does it do to impart a message if no one
is around to hear it? He raised the issue
of whether the role of a reporter was
simply to gather and disseminate information, or if it was to interpret and opi-
April 14, 1988
nionize that information. He touched
on the inherent sexism and racism built
into the English language. He gave
some examples of some euphemisms
used to glorify the barbaric mistreatment of human lives. (eg. "Pacification" means "wiping out all life in a
given area", "Routine limited-duration
protective action" means "air-raid")
He elaborated on the use of language
as a means of oppression and as a tool
for deception.
Feeling the need for a change of
scenery, I chose another room to attend a brainstorming session. I had
trouble locating any groups at all.
Finally I grabbed a couple of pals and
persuaded them to go and coerce one
of the facilitators away from his
workplace. At the brainstorming session, we talked about the need for certain programs to take a more active
role in implementing inter-cultural
literacy programs, about the inefficiency of many DTF's about the pros and
cons of having student representatives
and about the need to make governance information easily accessible to
students. By the time we fini shed, it
was an hour past the scheduled encling
time.
Walking home, I thought about
everything I had learned, and I hoped
that others who attended Governance
Day enjoyed it as much as I did.
***
by Whitney Ware, freshman, Fram,es
of Mind core program
I think that the whole Governance Day
was a wonderful concept, and should be
continued in the future ... which goes to
cover up the fact that I stayed in bed
until late that Wednesday morning.
That isn't to say that I'm indifferent to
student governance on campus-I've
just sat through one COM Board
meeting too many this year, and
couldn't find the will or the way to drag
myself out of bed in order to face a
similiar experience.
So, instead, I slept in and got up just
in time to brush my teeth before a
roommate came to see if I wanted to
join the Arthur West rally. Now, that
was a REAL Greener experience. I'm
not clear at all on what West did to get
a criminal trespass warrant smacked
on him, but it was fun to tramp and
chant across campus-the good old
sheep mentality, y'know?
I considered going to a seminar while
I was in the CAB during the West rally, but decided that I had more pressing concerns waiting at home--some
stories for an editor that I needed to
get rewritten, and a AP A submission
to draft up. So, I skipped ou.t on West
(I'm still wondering how the boy got off
campus. Did security ever make the effort to get him?), went home, and did
some artsy-fartsy work until it was
time to play Walleyball at 7:00 pm that
evening.

Boycott success
F ellow Students,
I want first to thank all of the
students who supported the boycott of
the HEC Board's pilot assessment
testing program. Evergreen contacted 188 students in their last
quarter of the second year and invited
t hem to participate in the testing program. Last Saturday, the first of the
two testing dates, about twenty people showed up at 8 a.m. at the lecture
halls to talk with arriving test takers
and to e ncoura~'e them not to part icipate, not to subscribe to the
assumptions that drive the HEC
Board's Master Plan. Those twenty
were not overwhelmed by prospective
test takers; between 8 o'clock and the
9 o'clock starting time, only five

students showed up to take the test.
Four of them stopped to talk about
students' concerns about the testing
program. Two of them eventually
decided to take the test. Evergreen's
first standardized tests went ahead as
scheduled, with three students.
By refusing to be bribed into participation, Evergreen students are telling the HEC Board the Master Plan's
bombastic recommendations about the
role of higher education do not qualify
as substantive educational reform.
There are ways to spend money well
in higher education, but in order to
know what they are, there must first
be discourse about the verJ idea of
what constitutes money well spent.
The discourse must take place among
students, educators, support staff, and
the groups of people in society at large
who want access to public higher
education. It must not be premised
merely on the assumptions of
bureaucrats, politicians, and business
people. Public higher education should
function in the service of humanity, not
of business.
N ext Saturday, in one of the lecture
halls, under a directive from the HEC
Board, Evergreen will carry out the second half of its assessment testing program. I urge students not to turn out
for this test, but against it. Starting at
8:00 a.m., I will be there again, to ask
whoever might show up for the test to
reconsider and to stand in solidarity,
with me and with the others who come,
for academic freedom and humane
education.
If you are considering taking the test
on the 16, please come early enough to
talk with me about why I oppose.the
testing program. If you want to diScuss
it with someone before then, please call
me at 357-7042.
Dear Editor,
I would like to communicate my feeling about the graffiti in the A-dorm
stairwell. I think it's the most beautiful
and exciting form of human selfexpression that I've seen in a long
time. It makes our dorm . a more interesting place to live. For all you community members that haven't seen it
yet, stop by and check it out. Also, to
those of you who did the work; Thanksl

Paper pledge
Dear Editor,
In response to the April 7 article titled, "Grads to pledge responsibility" I'd
like to ask a few questions.
The pledge states that grads will,
"thoroughly ipvestigate and take into
account the social and environmental
consequences of any job opportunity
(they) consider." What about the consequences to the environment pervading at graduation? Will you have
signed the pledge? What about the
social pressures produced by such a
commitment? Everyone in the audience, all of your classmates will be
wondering if you signed your name,
pledging your support to society and
the environment. Wondering if they
will be able to count on you, wondering if you'll be "with them," 01'
possibly, "against them" in the day-today fight to save society from itself.
Could this whole graduation pledge
idea be Evergreen's way of "passing
the torch to a new generation?" Passing on the responsibility in a way.
Perhaps it's an answer to a question
which would seem to nag all such institutions: "What have we accomplished here?" Are we really turning out informed , conscious individuals, or are
we simply supplying more "middlemanagement" fodder?
In any case, there is only one com·
mitment that an individual will ever
adhere to through the course of their
lives: A commitment to themselves. A
commitment that begins within the individual is more binding than a paper
pledge could ever hope to be.

Dear Editor,
Who is this Noriega guy anyhow and
what the hell are all those Marines going to Panama for? Well, he isn't the , .
only bad guy in the story. In fact, he
wouldn't be there if the U.S. government hadn't put him there in the first
place. Not that they gave him the job

they let him have it.

lining on the disk by "formatting"

three density types, single, double, and

you've probably been using a double
density disk. You can think of them as
comparable to wide-ruled paper. The
Continued from page 8
like restaurants with one waiter
new disk drives are high density. They
can store four times as much data as
the old disk drives (something like 4
medium size novels). You can think
about them like college-ruled paper.
The new disk drives won't have any
problem reading the old disks. Where
they have problems is writing to the
old disks. The magnets are so small
that they can get lost inside the wide
lines of a double density disk. The
moral of the story, then, is to use high
density disks in the new computers.
There are other changes in the computer lab as well, involving the addition
of two Mackintosh II's which I don't
have the space to present here.
However, it is worth your while to go
into the computer center and check out
the changes. It is somewhat curious to
note that when 1 meet people who
know of Evergreen college they often
say, "Oh, you go to that place with all
the computers." Evergreen has a
valuable resource, and it's still free.
What are you waiting for?
"I want my affects to be positive"
Contract or The Master Plan standardize the school and take away that
freedom to experiment."
Robert has been at Evergreen for
two years, but although many people
" know him by sight not many know who
he is. "I like to show off in some ways,
but basically I'm a private person. At
home in the dorms I take the time to
maintain a sense of order and do my
best to always lend a hand because 1
care how I affect other people. I want
my affects to be positive."
One of Robert's interests is
holography and that interest is part of
the reason he came to Evergreen.
Holography is a method of imprinting
three dimensional pictures on a flat
surface, such as a glass plate. Some of
the new credit cards are embossed
with a holograhic image to prevent
credit card fraud.
"E vergreen is the only state college
in the world doing work in
holography," he said with a twinkle in
his eye. Then he laughed and admitted
that his statement was a slight
exaggeration.
"There are very few people doing
serious research on holography,"
Robert said. "My brother owns the
Holography Institute in California, and
they are also doing research on
hologrnphic techniques. I'm hoping
that we can complete a book about
holography in the next couple of
years."
His greatest fear is that, "the growth
of understanding won't be fast enough
to overcome the hatred and other pollution in the world. That goes for individuals as well as groups."
Robert isn't sure people always see
him the way he is.
"1 come off as sort of a square with
a responsible business manner. But I'm
reasonably open to unorthodox concepts, as long as they aren't destructive, i.e. harmful to people or things."

"Don't feel suited to the task, eh, Esparillo?
Hey, Goucho, you lame?"
Dotted with palm trees,the line,
my dreams,
a solemn oath. I took the rope
in my hands, felt its rough, sinewy
texture
in my palm. It was like once
in the nighttime, when I was maybe
seven or eight years old,
and I was standing on the roof
of our Winnebego, staring at the
sky
when a sudden flash hit me
straight in the eye,
and I'd seen the difference.
Like I see it now.
"Hey, Goucho! What takin' you?"
I tugged at the rope.
It did not give. I put the noose
around his throat
and tightened it.
"That okay?" I asked.
'.'Yeah, that's fine. Now
kick the chair out."
I did.
He snapped, and hung there,
strangulating.
And I got into my car then
and left.
And it was several hours before
J stopped again,
just to fill
the tank.
And it wasn't my life
I'd taken,
and it was all the same.
No regrets. Like the old preacher
had said it should be.
I kept my eyes
to the road, and stopped again
for a hitch hiker
I would take as far as San Francisco.

I stayed with her the night
because she asked me to,
and then left again
in the morning,
with the sun at my side. I flew
over the highway
eluding the black and whites all the while,
and saying to myself,
"Where are the jars
with the peanuts locked inside?"
Some childhood secret I'd hoped would decide
my strategy, and the loss
was unforgiving,
unfathomable,
at the lowest price.
Bobbee?
Tytee?
Childhood friends,
imaginary,
who'd known me better than I them.
They'd tried to influence me
with hopeful promises
they'd spent
on surplus ha~d grenades
to bomb the park.
It was all over in a minute or two,
and then
I was free to go
in and out, as I pleased.
I didn't believe them at first. '
I'd 'thought It childish escapade.
But then
I slowly come to realize
my mistake.
In Seattle
I stopped for the night
and saw a UFO drifting slowly
through the sky.
This was not the first time.
This was not the last time.
It was all the same
in the sky.
Time
without wheels
floating lazily on by.

Throughout the three-day symposium, a photo-exhibit entitled "The

in the knowledge that a true representative vote would elect the hest of the
two major party candidates.
Although many of the candidates are
running their own registration drives,
the effort here is definitely slowing as
candidates fold their campaigns and as
Washington becomes unimportant for
another six months. The registration
drive that WashPIRG is sponsoring
will begin on April 20 at 4 p.m. At that
time, there will be an opportunity on
campus for us to become deputy
registrars. All are encouraged to attend this session because the classes
are usually only at the courthouse and
at inconvenient times. To participate,
you must contact WashPIRG in Lib.
3226 or by calling 6058.
We also encourage those who are
already registrars to contact us so we
can put you in our files. Eventually, we
hope to have a group of registrars
organized in order to provide registration services at both Evergreen and
other South Sound events. This will not
only be a chance for us to extend the
vote to many previously disenfranchised people, but will also be an oppOltunity for those who are more motivated
to gain organizing skills.

AGAPAN is Brazil's foremost rainforest preservation activist group and

\~ords of Lutzenberger, AGAPAN is,
'\,:.desperately short of the material

staff.

our parent group, Rainforest Action
Network (RAN). Randy Hayes, who
heads RAN, encourages small local
gi'oups like ours to send money from

money will go further iJ:1 these countries and can be used in a more direct
way.

Another gift which Autumn Roseimparts is the encouraging message that
one person can make the difference. It
is Joey's Aunt Linda, a determined and
compassionate woman, who prevents
his institutionalization at birth_ A
perceptive teacher and a creative principal defy all odds-even their own
school board-to develop the town's
first special education program, with
Joey as the impetus.
And the list continues_
An idealistic social worker at the instItutIOn, who everyone knewwouldn't
last, succeeds in turning the whole
place upside-down. An innovative
bureaucrat catches the idea and
spearheads
statewide
deinstitutionalization. The power of
idealism in the face. of antipathy is
celebrated throughout the novel, igniting a spark of hope in those who are
at an impasse.
We leave Joey as he is moving out on
his own, a man who is blossoming
albeit latently, into the kind of person
that makes parents proud; truly an
autumn rose.

"the impact the birth of a mentally
disabled person has on a family. ~ ' The
novel continues with the boy's life in
institutions and ends with the
deinstitutionalization movement in the
1970s.
The title Autumn Rose came from
Lindley's attitute towards the mentally disabled.
"I thought that people with
disabilities were like roses who come
out in the Fall and Winter; they don't
have a chance to blossom because of
their environment. I was imagining a
rose with a tuft of snow."
The next book in his series will
chronicle Joseph's life out in the community, says Lindley. "He gets married and has a child, and it deals with
the problems that parenting brings for
a mentally disabled person."
