EDITOR>S NOTE:
Welcome to this year's lost quarter. It's been
a long year for many of us, I know,
As of late on the 8th, I am taking leave of
my place as editor of the paper,
As a result, I have gotten a lot of suggestions for what I ought to put in this final Editor's
Note, The unique privilege of being editor,
however, is in having the final soy in how one's
own words w,ill read. And so it is now. There
are risks in being your own editor of course,
but none merit failing to accept the challenge.
All I have left then, is to thank Evergreen
for giving me this opportunity, and to thank
everyone who has helped. I also wont to express my appredation to the readers of the CPJ
particularly those who subscribed.
'
Other than that, I just hope everyone has a
superb quarter and a fantastic summer.
Enjoy the paper.

Death Squads have continued to abduct and murder civilians in El
Salvador since 1979. Innerplace ,
located in the Library building, has
created a visual demonstration in Red
Square to show the eAtent of death
funded by United States' tax dollars .
', 0 ,000 dead civilians are represented
by the 7,000 red ribbons tied by
Evergreen students and faculty to
show vividly what a numeral cannot.
Innerplace ,
working
with
Evergreen's sister school, the University of EI Salvador, dedicates itself
towards increasing public awareness
of civil rights violations in EI Salvador
and the U.S. support of their administration . The U .S. gives the EI

Salvadorian government 80 percent of
their national budget, making these
deaths a record of u.s. civil rights
violations .
Guerrilla theatre, a student group
that meets Wednesdays in the Innerplace office, simulated the armed
abduction and murder of five students.
Wednesday, March 30, an unmarked
car drove onto Red Square around
12:20, stopped atLab I , removed a student, then five Death Squad members
wielding automatic weapons hunted
down more students . Two jogged
towards the library building, the other
three paced next to the car heading
towards th e Campus Activities
Building (CAB) . Students were rernov-

ed at gunpoint, some screaming and
struggling . All were loaded into the
car, "killed" and dumped at the end
of Red Square near the bus stop.
Our sister school is not safe from
these purges, as many students have
been abducted from classes and campus. The University educates El
Salvador's middle class and some
lower class people, bringing education
to students who may speak out against
the present regime. Attacked and
destroyed by government forces in
1980 and rebuilt in 1985, the school
maintains contact with the world so
that its presence in such a difficult environment may remain by international support.

Pilot Tests: Will they fly?
by Suzette Williams
The Washington State Master Plan
for Higher Education passed the
legislature this session, and steps are
being taken to put the plan in place.
A pilot study on assessment is under
way and the Higher Education Coordinating Board (HEC Board) is still
debating on a system of raising admission standards for state institutions.
Steve Hunter, Director of Research
Planning at Evergreen , is part of an
inter-institutional task force in
Washington studying the effectiveness
of standardized testing. The task force
has two years to study the value of a
nationally normed test administered to
sophomores.
"The result of their work will be a
statement about the usefulness of the
results of ..!.hose tests," says Hunter.
The pilot tests will be given to
volunteer students on April 9 and 16.
Invitations were sent to eligible
students, and Hunter says he has
received about 25 replies from those
interested in volunteering.
After taking the test, students will
answer a questionnaire about the test
and its content. Faculty will also be
asked to evaluate the tests and the
results they yield. Hunter says that test
results will be compared with other information that the administration has
on students to see "whether or not it
looks like tests of this sort will be of
some use."
After the two year pilot study is con.ducted at all state institutions, a recommendation will be made to the college
provosts by the inter-institutional task
force. The provosts will then make a
recommendation to the HEC Board
about the usefulness of standardized
testing of college sophomores.
"At one point the HEC Board recommended that we move without any
study into standardized testing," says
Hunter. The provosts disagreed, not
4

convinced of the significance of the
results , and the two year pilot study
was agreed upon.

The Master Plan says that "the state
and public have a right to expect ac-

Fac'u lty say no
to assessment tests
by janis Byrd

Faculty members Jeanne Hahn and
David Marr reject the validity of standardized testing as a means to evaluate
the quality of education available at
Evergreen or other institutions. And,
neither approve of the financial incentives being used to get students to take
the tests.
'
Hahn and Marr have actively objected to the Higher Education Coordinating Board 's Master Plan. They
have attended HEC Board meetings
and raised their objections with the
legislature.
"The administration of standardized
tests which students will take in exchange for a monetary bribe ($5 flat
fee plus $5 per hour) is no way to
measure educational excellence, " Hahn
said " It merely furthers the commodification of the educational process and works to produce a cynical
and instrumental view of education in
students.
"It certainly does not work to create
an understanding of active, responsible democratic citizenship," she continued, saying the tactics used by
educational mercenaries will impact
future funding decisions and thus affect educational opportunities for all
students. Instead Hahn emphasized
that money spent on testing would be
better spent on sound academic programs.
"According to the March 1OCPj, "
she said, "approximately 200 students
will take three different tests for an

average of five hours per test.
Calculating on the conservative side of
the ambiguity in this statement, the
cost in bribes is $6,000. Add to this the
several thousand dollars necessary to
administer and evaluate the tests and
the total cost of this dubious project is
in excess of $10,000. In an era of improverished academic budgets and
decreasing financial aid for students,
this sum would be better spent on
educationally sound ventures that
benefit all students," she said.
Part of the pilot program calls for
faculty members to evaluate the proposed tests and the results, the point
being: do the tests give any new information to the faculty that would help
them improve the classroom experience. Marr was hesitant to say
whether faculty members would be
provided enough information to make
such a decision.
"I could give you an educated judgment of which one (of the three proposed tests) I think is the best, if you
force me to choose," he said. "But I
don 't want to be put to that decision.
I don't want to have the tests at all. We
should not go along-period.
"It's important to understand why
the state agencies would be attracted
to this scheme." Marr suggested that
standardized test assessments would
be used because "grades have failed to
provide the assurance to ' the
bureaucrats that learning is taking
place. "
If Marr's theory is true, he said, then

Students to boycott tests
by janis Byrd
Signs began going up in strategic
campus locations on Tuesday asking
students to boycott the pilot standardized tests scheduled for Saturdays
April 9 and 16.
Since the school plans to pay
students to participate, the protest
coordinators know it will be hard for
students to pass up the money. One
protestor suggested, however, that
students who need the money, take
the test, and mark the boxes wrong .
The Evergreen students and faculty
members opposing the institution of
standardized assessment te'sts have
been working since early September to
halt the adoption of the HEC Board's
Master Plan for Education.
Intricately connected with the standardized testing is the adoption of HEC
Board-determined admissions criteria
which, its critics say, will screen
students, allowing only the "bestsuited" to enter Washington's higher
education system.
"There are two separate issues that
must be considered," student activist
Mary Poole said. "First, the standardized tests promoted by the HEC
Board are not only ineffective measure
of what students know and how they
can think, they are also blatently
culturally biased ." Mary said this
assertion has been proven by many
studies.
"The second issue," she continued, "is
just as important. Even if Evergreen
were somehow to adapt or sidestep the
standardized test part of the Master
Plan, we still have to fight the tests
because of the principle involved.
"We are on the front lines of a national trend, along with many other
schools across the country," Mary explained. "The idea behind this trend
is not to evaluate the quality of higher
education so that it can be improved,
but to mold institutions to more effi-

ciently train the right students for their
appropriate positions in society.
"The higher admissions standards
will keep more people out of the
system, and the Jr. Rising tests will
ultimately tie state funding of institutions to their performance on these
standardized tests. It is easy to see the
effect that this will have on the quality
of education .
"I don 't want to see Evergreen
become just another middle management factory," Mary said.
In addition to economic concerns,
Carol Poole said, "I think standardized testing is anti-educational. It
discourages critical thought. What you
are trying to do is amass facts to spit
out on a page.
"At best, it's a waste of study time
and energy," she added saying it "encourages a shift in curriculum and in
students' focus so that people can't
think creatively-you can't really get
into thinking about something for it's
own sake and follow a line of inquiry
to where it will go ."
Instead, Carol said, "you hve to conform yourself to this pretty dimwitted, unoriginal, uncreative test, and
that replaces other things you could be
doing."
Jonathan Knapp, also a student active in the protest efforts, is worried
about a conflict between HEC Board
rhetoric and what the end results are
geared toward.
"I guess the lion's share of my concerns stem out of what the Master
Plan's recommendations are for testing
and admissions standards-what the
HEC Board said that they are intending to accomplish, as compared to my
own understanding of what the recommendations may do .
"Essentially," he continued, "I think
there is a difference between the 'what
they say they want' to do with higher
education and what a critical analysis

of the recommendations shows will
happen to higher education.
"Ostensibly an assessment test is set
up to assess or to be part of a program
to assess the quality of eduation the
students are getting," Knapp explained, as he pointed to flaws he says are
inherent in a one-time testing policy,
even if one admits the premis that
standardized tests are valid in the first
place.
"When you have one test in the middle of the student's college career-one
standardized test-I' don't see how
they can expect that to give them an
assessment of the institution," he continued. Logically, he said, "it seems to
me that you have to measure it at least
two times. You have to measure it at
entrance and at some later point and
that's not what this is doing. In combination with the new admission
criteria, this test amounts to a way of
sorting the kind of students the HEC
Board doesn't want to see in higher
education."
Student Dan Barclay raised other
concerns.
About the question of efficiency, he
said, "they take away from other
things the teachers could be doing in
the classroom in order to appropriately assess students at times when they
are learning something. I think
students and teachers can be aware of
these and should not be looking to
standardized tests to answer questions
of proficiency for them."
Dan also objects to the uncritical acceptance of the biases inherent in standardized testing.
"Standardized tests reinforce
discriminatory power relationships
among people who are taking the tests
as well as between those people who
design the tests and those who must
take them."

research group in West Virginia, Dan

Grads to pledge responsibility

Co-Op Internship

Some of our managers will be on campus soon to

At the last graduation meeting, the
senior class voted to take a pledge of
social and environmental responsibility during the ceremony in June.
Evergreen seniors will be given the
opportunity to sign a certificate pledging , 'to thoroughly investigate and take
into acount the social and environmental consequences of any job opportunity I consider."
Humboldt State University in
California initiated the pledge last year
and Matt Nicodemus was instrumental in bringing the pledge to Evergreen.
The pledge is intended "to help
create an atmosphere where social and
environmental responsibility is openly discussed and plays a more central
role in our life decisions," Nicodemus
explained,

Nicodemus believes the pledge gives
loal activists a powerful tool.
"Now we can focus public discussion directly on the questions of what
it actually means to be socially and environmentally responsible and which
employers are being more or less so, "
he said.
Keeping the pledge, coordinators
say, means seeing the commitment as
a long-term responsibility rather than
a piece of paper you sign your name to.
Student Citizens for Social Responsibility member Bill Ihne said the
pledge is an "opportunity for individuals to recognize their power."
Social change is on-going and requires
continual discussion throughout the
year, not just at graduation,
Nicodemus and Ihne say.

As a result of the test, Humboldt
students were able to prove that concerned students are alive, well and active in the 1980s.
"We can find appropriate employment alternatives through constructive
questioning and research," Ihne explained. "That is what the pledge is
about: taking an initiative to find
employment that is meaningfully helping our communities and society to
maintain a healthy environment for al
involved.' ,
Graduating Greeners who want
more information, or would like to
lend a hand in spreading the word
about the pledge, should contact
Evergreen's pledge organizer Kristi
MacLean at 352-7961.

It's only wintertime angst

by Arturo James Aldama

As coordinator for Evergreen's
literary arts journal, I am troubled by
the lack of response that our spring
edition is receiving. The response to
the FallWinter edition has been very
disconcerting, and it has made me ask
some serious questions about what in
our structure, content or policy from
our last edtion would discourage those
who, either submitted before, or who
wer unable to make our last deadline.
So I am writing this: to clarify our
cooperative process in the production
of the journal; to possibly justify what
seemed to be the over-abundance of
angst or weltscmertz; to announce an
extension of deadlines; and finally, to
strongly encourage all students, staff,
and faculty to submit their work.
In keeping with the "N ew
Criticism", the work's intentional, and
genetic fallacy is always honored by
making photocopies of the work, or
displaying the work without the artists
name on it. The work is then read
outloud, discussed, or, in the case of

visual pieces, examined, and then each
piece is voted on. Each member of the
editorial board, all experience writers,
photographers or graphic specialists,
are entitled to one vote, and the majority decides. This democratic process
is used not only in the selection of the
work, but also, in almost all the decisions made regarding the magazines'
production, So I extend my apologies
to those artist's work that I might have
been personally impressed with,
however, I did not structure the
magazine so the coordinator would
have veto power.
The 'tongue-in-cheek' cartoon,
coupled with various comments and
letters that came out after the release
of the Winter edition, has me concerned that Slightly West might be conside red as glorifying only existential
suffering, death and mutilation. My
immediate response is that the work
published was rigorously selected,based on what the board considered artistic merit, and each piece was con-

sidered as a separate entity. This not
only serves to mitigate the board from
accusations of having only a
monolithic vision, but also points to an
important observation and proof that
we might need. to consider within
ourselves. It is my opinion that, as
human beings, we are biologically,
emotionally, and spiritually interconnected with our environment, and the
cycles of changes that occur in nature,
are consciously and unconsciously
perceived, felt and experienced. The
artist in many ways transmutes hisher
experience, perception and feeling into another medium--away from the
emotional, intellectual and spiritual
body. This process of transmutation
can serve as a catharsis necessary for
survival andor process of selfknowledge. So in the fall and winter,
one can hardly be surprised at the
amount of cathartic transmutation of
the death and coldness of nature
around us, and the sense of despera7

Write to keep
old growth

by Sandra Schaad
by Ron Smithrud

For six of the seven National Forests
in Washington, the public has no further chance to comment on how much
of our primeval old growth forests will
be allocated to timber harvests and
how much will be preserved,
However, the case is still open for this
state-the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest-the largest National
Forest in the state and the most heavily used for the recreation.
The U.S. Forest Service issued its
draft Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement for the
Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest
and has invited public comment on the
plans until May 2. These comments
will be read and used in the forest
planning process and could ultimately influence the decision on how much
old growth will be protected and how
much will be cut. The Forest Service
could respond to a large number of letters by concerned students and decide
to preserve more of our old growth
forests.
The alternative currently proposed
by the Forest Service calls for 185
miles of new logging roads in the next
decade. Within 50 years, 160,000 acres
of roadless areas will have been logged. The rapid cutting and road building
would cause soil erosion, siltation of
salmon spawing beds in streams,
destruction of trails, loss of wildlife
habitat (including habitat for the Spotted Owl), and could actually cause a
decrease in employment.
Until May 2, students may submit
letters to the Forest Service at: Mt.

ERe deSignates Earth Month
In 1970, Earth Day kicked off the environmental movement
with a day of education and action about ecological issues. Highly
publicized, it was a great success. It showed politicians, the press
and the public that the environmental movement had the energy
to grow.
Since 1970, Earth Days or Earth Fairs have been held every
spring at Evergreen and elsewhere. Each year the celebration is
the accomplishment of a few activists who pour thousands of
hours into the event.
This year, organizers at the Evergreen Resource Center (ERC)
began Earth Fair preparations with a theme and two goals in
mind, The theme: sustainability, the transformation of our personal and societal actions into ones which, ecologically and socially, can help sustain us, future generations of all species and the
planet in perpetuity. The goals: to educate people about environmental issues, and to facilitate action towards a healthier
earth.
Even as we began the hundreds of necessary organizing tasks,
we wondered whether Earth Fair would really live up to our
theme and meet our goals effectively. Should we spend all- our
time for the next two months to organize one day of environmental awareness-was this sustainable activism? And would an Earth
Fair really give people the time and tools to not only learn about
issues, but to begin to act upon ecological principles? Will the
environmental movement ever get past Earth Day, to meet the
needs of an endangered planet with a whole Earth Century of
environmental awareness and action? Clearly, we concluded,
Earth Fair needed to progress ...
And so, with a fond goodbye, we leave Earth Fair and herald
the arrival of Earth Month~an entire month of learning, action,
and celebration for the earth, all at a sustainable, life-like pace.
We delcare May, 1988 to be Earth Month at The Evergreen State
College. There will be time for groups and individuals of all sorts
to become involved, time for major issues to be discussed, time
for concerned people to commit anew to taking action, time for
a re-evaluation of the direction of the environmental movement,
time to consider changing, and time to celebrate life on earth.
Right now, it is time for you to start thinking about how you
can contribute to Earth Month. Contact the ERC to coordinate
your ideas, contribute your time and skills in organizing, publicing, writing, speaking, tabling, celebrating, art, photography, or
simply being a planet-loving human, Let's make the month of
May one of true momentum towards the Green Century.

to accommodate 2,500 people.

Construction began on the College
Recreation Center Phase II last month.
The new bulding will be located
behind the present CRC and is expected to be completed by June 1989.
Some students are opposed to the construction, posting signs that say "We
want classroom space, not a new
gym," and "Where were you when
the fence went up?"
The new facility will contain additional classroom space, multipurpose
studios, a wellness lab, locker rooms,
office space and a gymnasium. The
gym will also be used as an auditorium

The building has been planned since
1970, but was funded just last year by
the State Legislature . Funding was
sought three times before it was approved. The original plans call for additional facilities and an extra $2
million, but only $6.8 million was approved, rather than the almost $9
million that the original plan would
require.
Students have protested the building
of a gymnasium at Evergreen, fea~ing
an emphasis on inter-collegiate
athletics. Gail Martin, Vice President
for Student Affairs, says that this is not

the case.
"Because of the abuses 0 athletic
programs at other campuses ... we had
to make our case Ito the legislature)
that for us this would be a multipurpose facility whose main goal
would not be inter-collegiate
athletics," Martin says.
Evergreen is the only state institution without a gym and without a
place where the campus can gather.
Martin sees the auditorium as a place
where Evergreen's commitment to
"cultural diversity" can continue.
"I envision major conferences,
speakers and music performance

the Evergreen method of narrative
evaluations would provide a much better
assessment
of
student
achievement.
Evergreen went to the narrative
system, he explained, because grades
and standardized tests only provide
pseudo objectivity and pseudo precision without saying anything about the
actual learning experience.
"If, as a teacher, you are really
seriously interested in finding out

what a student has learned, you need
to employ a more sophisticated device.
You need a written account of what
the student has learned, in your
judgment.
"Assessment then, under the
auspices of the HEC Board is just not
an alternative to the grade failure
which it's predicated on, it is just more
grades and entails a whole new
bureaucracy," Marr concluded.

for applicants that do not meet the
minimum standards. The HEC Board
staff has drafted two proposals about
alternative admissions which will be
discussed at the Board's next meeting.
Under both proposals, applicants
must still meet some minimum standards. The first would allow institu·
tions lreedom to admit an unlimited

number of students under the alter·
native admissions clause, but the second would allow only 15 percent of
entering freshmen to be admitted who
don't meet minimum standards. The
HEC Board staff has recommended the
second approach in its draft proposal.
A decision is expected at the April 12
and 13 meetings, says Hunter.

said that nearly fifty states, give or take
a few, using standardized testing,
claim to be above average .
"So," Dan added, "the six
Washington State institutions will find
a way to be above average. Pretty
soon, we'll have the above and aboveabove average and we will be approaching excellence.

countability for the quality of public
higher education." The HEC Board
calls for a nationally normed test that
will compare students in Washington
to colleges nationwide in order to give
the state this account~bility . The test
is designed to measure communication, computation and critical thinking
skills of students in the last term of
their sophomore year.

-.~

If the recommendations to the HEC

Board by the inter· institutional task
force and the provosts show that standardized test results are not valid in
assessing an institution's quality, the
Master Plan states that, "the Board
would look for an alternative to provide a systematic external evaluation
of institutional performance ,"
At the HEC Board's next meeting on
April 12 and 13, members plan to
decide on a system for raising admission standards to the state's four-year
colleges and universities. The "open
door policy" at the state's community
colleges will remain in place'
Accordin~ to legislation adopted in
1985, applicants to four-year institutions must have at least a 2 .5
cumulative GPA and completion of
specified courses in high school. This
takes effect in the Fall of 1988.
The Master Plan proposes a system
like this, but does not yet specify a
minimum GPA. It also requires
students take a standardized test such
a'S the ACT or SAT, However, there is
an "alternative admissions procedure"

orgaoilatioo theol"Y
by Darrell Riley
Lucia Harrison
Teacher: Business of Computers, MP A
Hometown: Olympia, W A

I wanted to start my Spring interviews with someone different from the
people I talked to last quarter. I chose
Lucia Harrison not only because she
is a teacher but because she typifies
the reasons for these interviews. She's
quiet and not very well known, but
under her quiet exterior is a totally
remarkable woman. She not only
dreams of a better world but tries to
make her dreams come true. For instance, she has helped organize the
Jesse Jackson campaign in Thurston
County.
Lucia's specialty is Organizational
Theory and Behavior. ''I'm always
looking for alternative management
systems," she said. One of the most
famous and familiar alternatives to
American management systems is the
Japanese style of management, such as
Theory Z. Lucia has been to Japan three
times, both to learn and to teach. On
her third trip to Japan in 1985 she
taught a class called American
Management and Practice.
"I was mainly a show for the
students," she said drily. "American
Management and Practice turned out
to be a class about American culture:
why we think equal pay for equal
work is important, why we think individuals are responsible for their own
career deVelopment, and so on. 1
sometimes wondered what the
students were getting out of the class,
I had a hard time knowing whether
they understood what 1 was saying. At
Evergreen you interact with students
in class. Japanese students don't talk
to their teachers.
"One of the assignments 1 gave my
students was an eassay on why they

were in school and what they were going to do after graduation. Almost
every paper came back, 'I can't control what I want to do with my life.'
Many Japanese equate individualism
to egoism. They don't operate with the
assumption that they have control
over their own life . The responsibility
for career development is on the com-

\,

pany rather than the inctividual. It 's up
to the company to decide how to make
use of your talents."
Lucia's attitudes about Japanese
management theory changed because
of her experiences in Japan. "When
Americans look at Japan they
shouldn't evalute Japanese culture according to American standards," she
remarked. "I'm more skeptical of the
transference of the Japanese management style because of the problem of

cultural transference ." However,
Lucia thinks it is very important to
study other cultures. "We study other
cultures to learn about ourselves."
Her study of other cultures has been
ongoing since the start of her college
career. She was one of 80 students and
6 faculty in the early 1970's chosen to
create the Columbus, Maryland campus of Antioch University. "Antioch
wanted students who were dissatisfied
with the standard educational system
to create a new school," she
remembered. "We created everything
at the college, governance, academic
programs, student housing, internship
opportunities, etc. Everyone at the college worked for the college.
"We started with one person, one
vote. We even watned to vote on when
the checks should come ouh But we
had to learn to trust each other and
move to a representational system of
government. It is impossible to run a
college when you have to consult with
everyone about everything. People
disagreed about every issue that was
brought up." Does any of this sound
familiar?
"I worked in the art program," she
continued. "I wrote the college
catalogue, figured the budget, and
helped decide who to hire. I began to
be an administrator as a student."
"I have never seen as much poverty and racism as I saw in Maryland.
When I would travel with my Black
friends we would be stopped for things
like having a string on the license
plate. The police would demande identificatoin from the Black students in
the car but not from the White
students.
"I was teaching art at some of the
local schools because they couldn't afford art teachers. Sometimes they
couldn't even afford janitorsl The
amount of poverty and racism make
me think about my life as an artist. At

the time, I thought my art work was
self-indulgent; I wish I had seen the
connection between art and social
change. 1 wanted to learn something
to help me do something about the
problems I saw. 1 wanted to work for
change. That's when I started studying administration, as a way to help
more people."
So how did an artist become interested in computers? "My exhusband was in Medical School at the
University of Wisconsin. While he was
there I got a job at the University as
a computer programmer. In those days
they didn't do as much training in
computers by schools, a programmer
was trained by their employer."
An artist, a computer programmer,
and now a teacher. Why teaching?
"Education is the avenue for social
change and social mobility," Lucia explained. "People who spend their lives

c!'edentials and a ticket to the 'good
life . '
"I encourage a sense of community
in my classes and seminars, to allow
my students to express their own
voices. "In The Business of Computers" we are trying to mer?e a
liberal arts .education and professlOnal
training. Some of our students don't
see the value of the liberal arts. A
liberal arts education should make you
question what you think . It should
enable you to examine your values,
and reflect on your training. I don't
want my students to leave this educational institution unconscious about
their role as professionals."
Lucia was recently involved in a tea
for the mothers of Evergreen faculty.
She says there are quite a few faculty
taking care of their ageing mothers. "A
lot of our mothers were social
workers," she said. "Maybe active
mothers make active children."

April 7, 1988

by Robert Murray

After the recent graffiti assualt on
several campus buildings, some debate
was sparked on whether or not indiscriminate graffiti should be an acceptable practice on the Evergreen
campus. Well... for the sake of
ourselves, our community and those
who will enjoy the use of this college
after us, we must recognize that this
campus is and should remain uncluttered in this fashion.
Why is there a need to publicly illustrate one's ideas like a thief in the
night-does this mean that there are
restraints on free speech here at
Evergreen? My experience here is that
hostility toward new ideas comes from
students just as often lor more often)
as from the administration. And, with

all of the available media avenues of
expression already practiced on this
campus, it really seems a shame that
some can only think to use destructive
vandalism.
If there is really a need in our community for additional wall space for artists, then why don't we petition the
administration for somewho
can reasonably say a student is unduly restrained by the administration if
the student hasn't even tried to
negotiate? Already there are areas on
campus where one can practice spray
painting skills without defacing the
buildings that the people of this state
have entrusted us with and in which
we collectively have produced work
we can be proud of.
The administration should not

change its policy of instantly cleaning
off graffiti, but these costs will be
defrayed through raised tuition and
decreased services. We often complain
that our professors and staff are both
scant and underpaid without realizing
that the cost, running into the millions,
of cleaning up after vandalism attacks
on our publicly funded campuses
comes out of the operating expenses
that could have been used to hire
faculty.
The Evergreen Community should
NOT accept indiscriminate spraypainfpermanent marker graffiti on its campuses; however, for those who cannot
restrain themselves, there are a few
Greek houses on other campuses that
regularly practice vandaiism for funyou can join now.
.. . .......
"

A

modest

It is an outrage to those who walk

through our campus or instruct in a
class, when they see a person of different political or social motivations
than the majority. These students, for
example, someone in the National
Guard, occupy valuable learning time
which could be better utilized by far
more peace-loving and open-minded
students. These individuals force their
beliefs upon others who, once seductively lured into this radical ideology,
move to other colleges to profess this
cancer of liberal thought .
I think it is agreed by all persons that
this prodigious number of military-

"

,

proposal*

oriented individuals is a harrowing
threat to Evergreen's ideals of learning, experiencing and self-expression.
I shall therefore propose my own
thoughts, which I hope will not be
liable to the least objection. We at
Evergreen must display our vision of
community and individuality by seek·
ing out those of militaristic attitudes
and ostracizing them from that community. Once segregated, denoted by
a yellow "M" on the sleeve, these people would be instructed as to which
campus facilities they may ilse and
which classes they may attend. A
special compound would be con-

structed to contain these people and
restrict their movements. If those who
oppress still continue in their
rebellious tone, then a pogrom would
be organized to quiet their voices. We
must prove in physcial action, speech
and thought .that we are a freethinking, open-minded college and
anyone who strictly fits our ideal is
welcome here .

On April 30, 1789 George Washington took the o.ath of offl~e

April 1988, Americans are seriously looking at the pos~lblhty of
electing their first non-caucasian president. Two centunes seems
an awfully long time for a nation founded on the c~ncept of
equality to produce a presidential candidate of color WIth a c~n­
siderable following. But the Jesse Jackson of today clashes WIth
the Jesse Jackson of yester-year. Having learned to ?lay.by the
white-man's rules, the democratic candidate has slgmflCantly
toned-down and mainstreamed his public image since the last
presidential election.
Does Jackson's current popularity show, then, as Newsweek
magazine claims, "how much American politics has changed for
the better," or does it only show how much Jesse Jackson has
changed? Is Jackson being taken seriously because he has ~dapted
to the dominant white-male standard of self-expresslOn? Is
Jackson's messag'e today all that different from his message of
four years ago, or has he merely changed his delivery?
Chapter seven, page 121, of John T. Molloy's book, Dress for
Success, in discussing hair styles, addresses a strategy t~at c~
be successfully carried over as a helpful hint to any presIde~hal
campaign: "What you think ... is totally irrelevant. What S?c.lety
thinks is highly irrelevant, too. What matt.ers are the OpUllO~S
of those men who are in positions to make Judgements that WIll
either help or hurt."
.
Jackson seems to have modified his style to appease the bIgwigs. Let's hear it for the democratic process!

Incident of guns?
To the editor,
I read an article in your last issue
(March 10) which I want to comment
on. The article discussed Security's
desire to carry handguns. Startling
facts were revealed to us, which
distressed me. In the '80-'81 fiscal year
security responded to approximately
310 calls. Last year they responded to
over 4100. What a difference. Makes
me want to go out and buy a gun. I'd
use it to escort people to the parking
lots, help them start their cars, let
students into labs, gather information
and chase dogs.
Did that recent graffiti on Red
Square also become a "case report"?
The increase in the number of reports
is startling, but does that warrant getting handguns? The figures bring to
my mind more of an image of a
bureaucracy running wild, than a need
for firearms. Do security officers' file
case reports when they fill up the
tank? You know the scenerio, a department starts documenting every action
to justify increases in its buget. We are,
indeed, an extension of the state
government (as the social contract
reminds us) .
The implied connection between the
incidents of guns on campus and
security's need for guns stands on very
shakey ground. Armed security officers would not have changed the
situation at the Greenery, nor that in
B dorm or the incident in '86. They

The problem with space-based weapons systems

weren't present. An officer always
puts hisherself in a dangerous position
when responding to an assaultive
situation; guns will not necessarily
reduce that risk. Why weren't we told
how often an officer is called into a
situation in which a gun might offer
protection (and what kind of protection it provides)? I don't think guns
will enhance the position of an officer
entering a dorm or mod party. The
question of whether the college wants
(or needs) an armed security force
were raised in the DTF a few years
ago. It may be time to raise this question again. But what concerns me at
the moment is what the debate turns
on.
Security wants guns. Gail Martin
says that more funding is needed to
fulfill the 1985 DTF's recommendations. Guns require an initial capital investment plus additional training.
(One must strain to make the statistics
"justify" acquiring guns.) An impasse
is reached. So what happens? The
argument moves from a discussion
about community safety to an impersonal discussion about institutional
liabilities. Sound familiar? It should .
We are no longer students, faculty and

Rather, we are viewed as the
substance of the college'S functional
liabilities, whether we talk about
security problems or student
discipline, affirmative action or faculty and staff contracts . I don't know
which came first, the lawyers or the
problems. Whichever, it seems we got

possible worlds." Excuse me, as

Tolerance

Dear Jonathan Kline,
I'm glad you expressed your concerns about the editor's note, "On Being LiberaL" There are a lot of things
that you are not willing to tolerate.
How are you going to respond intelligently to the wide variety of ideas
that exists on and off this campus if
you cut yourself off from all dialogue
with them? Most of the things you
won't tolerate, militarism and racism
for example, are things that I myself
don't like either, but ignoring them is
not going to make them go away.
You implied that you study a't'
Evergreen so that you don't have to
confront the ideas that you radically"
oppose. There are no beliefs that are as destructive to this institution as you:
claim. This is a learning institution and
a wide variety of beliefs, strongly held: .
will help us to learn. By defending our
ideas and intelligently criticizing those
we don't agree with, we will learn
about ourselves and others. We run
the risk of discovering that some of our
beliefs are not worth defending, and
we will surely learn how to better defend the ones that are.
I would look forward to having a
Klan member come speak at
Evergreen. I have faith that he
wouldn't be able to recruit many"
students. You see, I have a stereotype .
about Klan members. I think that they
are less intelligent than Evergreen-'
students. Your letter, however, com~
pels me to seriously question that
assumption.
Your philosophy, it seems, can besummed up with the phrase, "H
there's one thing I can't stand, it's intolerance." Intolerance is a two way'
street my friend_ I'll make you a deal. .
If you won't tolerate my ideas, I won't
tolerate yours_

Album project
Hey, what about all those signs
plastered on all the bulletin boards in
the Library and CAB this last Fall--the
ones that said SONGWRITERS HAVE
YOUR SONG RECORDED FOR THE
EVERGREEN CASSETTE PROJECT?
I guess if you shnooze, you lose, but
rumor has it that actual production has
taken place . Frustrated 16-Track
Studio users who have tried to get
some extra time this quarter will
testify to this fact.
Someone close to the source has it
on good authority that veteran
Evergreen studio mixmaster Adam
Kasper has got his fingers all over the
knobs in the 16-Track, heading up production on the project.
There's also an insidious snippet of
insider information that the Cassette
Project might just go vinyl despite
severe budget cutbacks due to the
failure of past album projects to pay
for themselves in the way of album
sales. Watch for upcoming notices of
pre-sales and maybe kick in with some
green if you think it has some potential (or even if you don't think it has
potential, but you're graduating this
year and need something to show for
it) .
So, keep an eye open for upcoming
cassette project related promational
events and stay tuned to other TESC
mediums for your direct insiders
music source!

Evergreen's APIC starts network
C(lill il1l1 t" d

by Wi! Deusoy
Recently I attended a conference for
Asian American studies along with
Gail Tremblay and six other Evergreen
students. I didn't know what to expect,
or for that matter, why I was going in
the first place. It was going to be a
four-day event at WSU and I knew I
was losing a big hunk of vacation. I
thought that maybe we would see
what the East side is like and meet
other students.
We arrived Thursday night and
quickly met with two other students,
Lorna from the AsianPacific Student
Union in California and Chin from the
East Coast Asian Union. Over
Philipino dinner, we started talking
about issues I had never really thought
much about, such as ethnic studies,
the model minority myth and racial
violence. 1. and my fellow
Evergreeners, wanted to hear more.
The first day of the event consisted
of panel discussions with many
representatives and academicians
from the Asian community speaking,
especially on the topic of Asian
American studies. We quickly noticed,
however, that there were few students
attending the conference. This upset
us. We anticipated many more student
representatives from other colleges.
We began seeing a definite need for
stronger communication by students
to build a strong network.
During the first student plenary session, we wanted to bring our ideas up,
but the dialogue consisted mostly of us
getting to know each other and griping about conditions in each of our
respective schools. One person who
taught English as a second langauge
said racial differences were not as important as stressing similarities. She
believed everyone is human and that
we all should learn to assimilate into
the American custom and way of life.
We were disturbed by this comment
but continued to be accomodating,
partly because it was at the end of the
day and we were all tired. At the end
we thought that the session was inconclusive and we were determined to

do something about it. That night, all
of us from APIC at Evergreen made a
commitment not to let the next session
be as inconclusive as the first. We
assembled an agenda that expressed
our sentiments about achieving
something real between the students.
The next day, we presented our
agenda and things started to happen.
The four colleges and universities
there began working together on
developing a regional network that
would keep all of the Asian American
students in the Northwest informed
about issues affecting them. Representatives from the East coast and California helped with advice, but most importantly, commitments were finally
made by the Northwest students.
Evergreen is going to host a regional
meeting May 13th, involving college
and high school students interested in
Asian American affairs and issues. A
definite feeling of solidarity began to
evolve, leaving us very satisfied with
the session and anxious to begin work.
We all resolved to conduct annual
meetings and increase ties between the
students.
Thang, a student APIC staff, said
that though he could not eat or sleep
much during the time, he felt healthy
and positive, feelings that we all
shared.
Coming away from the conference,
we felt we not only made friends and
had a great time, we came one step
closer in finding our identities as Asian
Americans.

Correction
In March 10's issue the "Campus
Dogs Need Advocates"story was missing a line due to a typesetting error .
The sentence should have read, ''The
run would basically be a day care
center for dogs while their best friends
are in school. Registering and tagging
dogs through the school to absolve
Evergreen from liability is another option."

rr!llll

p"ge 3

International pressures have also
been effective in freeing some of the
abducted students . In the Spring of
1986, the government abducted student body president Antonio Quezada.
An international response put pressure
on officials which resulted in
Quezada's realease.
Innerplace is forming a Rapid
Response Network that has been
designed to react to human rights
violations with telexes, telegrams and
letters. This Response Network has
been organized internationally, so that
as students and peace organization
members are abducted or disappear,
reactions from around the world can
be rushed to EI Salvadorian officials.
For more active information, contact
Innerplace at the Evergreen State College, Olympia WA 98505, ex. 6145.

This story tells superficially of unjust
acts and U.S. dollars in EI Salvador, of
events constructed to awaken people
to that country's reality and of a possible affect that an individual can have
to help save the downtrodden. To
close the events, Innerplace held a
memorial service, calling out the
names of fifty abducted and dead
civilians . Students, faculty and
graduates stood in a circle and called
out "presente" in unison after each
name to signify that their death and
struggle is remembered.
Lil Milgro Ramires, an EI
Salvadorian writer concludes a poem:
A lover of peace
I want to fight for it desperately.
Because from the beginning I have
dreamt of Peace.

"When you start meeting women
who 'work' and get over your own
moral reaction, you start to see how
close you can come yourself to being
able to do it," director Lizzie Borden
said.

In Working Girls, Borden (Born In
Flames) presents an unsqueamish look
at prostitution in a contempory ,
upscale Manhattan brothel. The film
fQllows five "working girls" through
a typical day , highlighting their
closeness and comraderie, exploring
the fantasy and reality of their world,
. Controversial and provocative,
Working Girls deromanticizes prostituti~n, presenting it as similar to any
other profession with problems and
benefits, supervisors and clients .

Borden attempts to portray prostitution as work, involving a business
transaction rather than sex. She says
a parallel exists for people who sell
their
minds:

themselves as well.

It's appropriate in some
places, and its inappropriate in some
places. I think that on
campus here it's kind of
hard to choose; some
people are not going to
want any graffiti on
campus, and other people are going to want it
totally covered. I'm
kind of flexible. I like to
see graffiti, but then I
don 't like to see it.

I think any kind ofgraffiti, especially graffiti
that is put onto a structure, that doesn 't really belong there is pretty
abhorent. I think that if
someone wants to get
their point across · they
can make a poster or
something. Any graffiti
is malicious destruction
and it takes away from
this community as a
whole, and it takes
away from me personally. J find it very
offensive.

Well, I think it was a
mistake-an error on
the part of the people,
kind of an impulse-type
situation which they're
going to regret now.

I think it was really
negative, and I think
that there are proper
channels to use, if you
want to communicate
to a mass audience,
that's open to

everyone, especially on
this campus and
especially in this
cou ntry.

•

I don 't see anything ideas about what beauwrong with the idea of ty is. I mean, I don't
graffiti. I think it 's a think there's anything
way of expressing what wrong with it, unless of
they're feeling, or their course, it's really offensive·
