You don't have to like the CPJ, or its
suspended editor Ben Tansey, to be
perturbed, or, as in my case, sceptical
about recent events.
After attending several Communications Boord meetings where testimony
and allegations have been presented
by students, community members and
CPJ staff regarding Tansey, I've
observed a dangerous blurring of
issues.
According to the Evergreen Administrative Code, suspension and/or
termination can only.be undertaken if
Tansey is proved to have 0) foiled to
comply with the boord's written
policies and directives; b) acted in a
grossly incompetent or inappropriate
manner, or c) willfully and/or
repeatedly violated professional codes
and standards ... "
But, what constitutes grossly incompetent? 'O r, grossly inappropriate
manner? What professional codes and

standards have been violatedl
Reviewing the . written allegations,
the complainants tend to rais8 issues of
TanSey ~ ~ manner, : parti,cularly his
abruptness. And as of Tuesday afternoon, I h'a~e not seen any specific
allegations correlated to any specific
EAC guidelines.
As of last Tuesday afternoon, the
board only had sent Tansey a letter informing him of the suspension because
there was reason to believe Tansey
was in violation of EACs 174-163-020,
030 and 050.
These generalizations appear to be
prohibited
by
EAC
section
174-063-050 which states "within
three working days of suspension, the
suspending party must present in
writing the allegations of disobedience,
incompetence or irresponsibility to the
person suspended ... "
If this straight forward process can
be questioned, isn't it also possible to
question the investigative process involved in the Board's attempt to verify
or validate claims and/or allegations
against Tansey. I don't mean to imply
there has been a breach in the validation process, however, one questionable process invites questioning all
process.
It seems to me that the blurring of the
issues is the fatal flow.
Certainly, if Tansey is incompetent he
should be terminated. But since ac cusations of incompetence have been
intermingled with mannerisms (or
perhaps personality?), can Evergreen
offord the possibility of terminating on
employee
for
being
of
a
"disagreeable" nature?

Letters
DENIED
Dear Evergreen Community,
It seemed ironic that, side by side in
the last issue of the CPj, one letter
headlined IRONIC affirmed Black
History while ERRONEOUS, true to its
title , denied the Palestinian people thtir
history. Meanwhile, a letter about the
history of the Palestinian people and their
struggle was missing in action for three
weeks, reportedly because it was an "opinion disguised an a letter. "
Commendations for a very fine letter
on Black History. We must go still further. For a fair representation of history ,
many personal and collective histories
must be resurrected, and judged as noble on their own terms . If we see Hlack
History only as a series of Black contributions to what is perceived as popular
culture , we are missing the point-at
least part of the point . To the extent that
there are separate experiences , there are
separate histories , and these we must
learn . Try standing up to some militant
Black teenager on the streets of New
Orleans, who is angry about the lack of
jobs and opportunities, and try telling
him you know where he's coming from .
I have had to learn the hard way that
while genuine empathy is essential , it is
not a substitu te for experience.
3

Similarly , from whom shall we learn
Palestinian hi~tory , if not from Pa lest inians? It is not beneficial to den y the
voice or participation of a ny people. Th e
race riots in Detroit are now duplicated
in the Occupied Territories, with ove r
3000 incidents a year.
And there are broad efforts in thi s
country to silence Palestinia ns, includin g:
arbitrary arrests and deportations under
the McCarthy laws of the 1950s; a federal
contingen cy-plan to in te rn A r a bAmericans in a new concentration camp
in Louisiana; closu re of the only two in formation offices of the Palestinia n people within this country; h a rass ment and
a ttacks by the Jewish D efe nse League,
which have threatened P a lestinian s
within this country a nd fa mily members
still in the O ccupied T erritories. After
overcoming all of this, Pale stinians who
speak out fa ce public ridicule. On those
rare opportunities when we a re privileged to hear Palestinians speak , perha ps we
should listen to their history.
One Palestinian who witnessed the Six
Day War said : " It 's like the 50 's were in
this country . If you were Black you were
not wanted . If you are Palestinian tod ay
in Palestine , you a re no t wa nted."
Perhaps it is not so diffe re n t here.
Sincerely,
H ector Douglas

CAPITALIST
I would like to tell the Evergreen Community about an expe rience I had
r ece ntly.
T wo days ago , I brou ght several articles o f m y clothing to the Free Box. I
h ad always felt good about thi s because
I realized th at some of my fellow
G reene rs couldn ' t a fford clothin g.
Today, as I was leav ing the CAB
buildin g, I was shoc ked to see th at som e
of my pieces of clothing we re for sale by
som eone who didn ' t appear to be a student. T his m an had m a ny articles o f
clothin g hangin g on the wall , a nd other
thin gs for sale. I wond er how m any of
those things came from the Free Box.
T his m an is in his 40 's, has shoulde r
length , curl y brownish-grey hair and a
mu stache, wears a cap a nd a black vest ,
a nd has a gruff voice .
If you decide to buy an y th ing from th is
man outside of the CAB, it might be wise
to realize that this is goi ng on .
When I gave m y thi ngs away, it was
so th at som eone in need could have them
for free. Not so that some capit ali st could

REVOLUTIONARIES?
Last Tuesday night the Central
America Program showed the film Lucia
at LH 3 and it was quite a spectacle.
About 50 people showed up to see it and
of those, at least one-third to one half left
before the film was over. I wonder why?
Why did they come in the first place, seeing the film was advertised as an "epic
film set in three revolutionary periods"?
Did it get a little too emotional and
violent?
Clearly the mm was not made for an
audience of intellectuals, or for a calm
analysis of women's positions . A lot of
people left after the first third, set in Cuba
in the 1880s with its tale of madness. Two
women: one a nun who used to put
herself into a frenzy of suffering over dead
soldiers bodies, who, raped, turns into a
homeless raving mad idiot; the other,
Lucia, is trapped in a world of deceiving
parasols, fluffy white lace and cruel
lacerations of the heart . Her only escape
is foolish love with one who brings ruin
over her brother and his nationalistic
cause, a traitor. Her revenge is that of a
crazy trapped animal. This world of gaping chasms between rich and poor leaves
only the options of insanity wide open to
people, and especially to women who are
its double victims. This is the Thesis.
Most people left at this point, realizing that they would have to sit through
two more such nerve-wracking episodes ,
full of stark, black and white pathos and
suffering.
The second tale is set in the 1930's and
tells the story of the revolu tionaries. This
beautiful, silent Lucia finds escape from
the petty-bourgeoise, her dead-end
parents, her nagging mother, with the
silent , w~mderfully gentle young man,
who in his spare time guns down the
ha ted police by the dozen.
An epic film alright. This is revolution
anywhere . The drunken, swinish police;
the young man's disillusionment with the
intelligentsia in Havanna, no less pathetic
than the police. The girl's struggle in the
factory, inciting riots by scrawling revolutionary slogans on the toilet walls with
lipstick; the elation of the works over victory . The true, beautiful love of the
revolutionaries in the face of immense
obstacles. The hero dies and his wife is
4

left a tearless widow. This is the sacrifice
she must make for the revolution. This
is the Antithesis.
The next part was set in the 1960s, and
begins by depicting the happy peasants
out for a day's work in the fields. The
newlywed Lucia is envied by ~ the old
women, who make fun of her. Everyone
is laughing, working together. There are
no more rich or poor. This . is the
Synthesis.
But wait! What is the spectre haunting
the dialectical, post-revolutionary
happiness?
The third Lucia quickly becomes
disillusioned with her young macho husband, who right after the wedding forbids
her to work and proceeds to literally lock
her up in the house, chaining her to the
bed where before they made endless love.
She becomes liberated only after the
arrival of a young literacy teacher from
Havana. After a violent struggle she
leaves her husband. He's in a rage, but
she is protected by the other working
women .
Here comes an important point :
Despite all this, she still loves him and
, they try to make up, and at the end you
can't tell if they're fighting or making
love anymore .
This point is important for all those
who don't understand why people who
are oppressed just don't run away . What
if there's no place to run to? If one husband is like another? Everybody cannot
leave everybody and this is. where this
film goes to work in post-revolutionary
Cuba.
We ' re not talking the ERA. We're
talking me, don't beat your women .
Even though the mm has three female
characters as heroines, the real action still
lies with the men . The revolutionaries
are men, not women for instance. It was
concerned with a message, and therefore
falls into the realm of propaganda rather
than art. But, it is amazingly self-critical.
With graphic brutality it exposes the fact
that for half the population, the revolution has not really happened, if they are
oppressed by their husbands. It's a
dialectical fUm, true. But made With love
and tears and some real effective mming
techniques, weird, scary angles, shocking
contrasts that keep you on the edge of
your seat.
In this mm, one moment you scream
with laughter, the next with horror. The
people who left the film were probably

sick from the violence; or maybe they had
a paper to do.
When I first went to see Lucia, I
stumbled into some kind of Coast Guard
event at LH 1. A bunch of ~ys standing
around in blue uniformS"; :and. I figured
that can't be the revolutionary film. But
I'll bet you everybody there stayed to the
end! .
Thanks, Central America Pmgram fo; ---- ··
bringing this film, and thanks CPJ, for
printing my letter.
Sincerely,
Michaela PohI

JEERED
Dear CPJ,
I'd like to thank the Evergreen State
College and its Housing for providing a
week of fun filled activities. I'm referring
of course to "Depression Festival '88. "
I was, at the beginning of the week, feeling bad. It was overcast on the eve when
most college students commit suicide. I
was feeling alone, alienated, and my
homework was crushing my apathetic
body. Ahh! I saw an advertisement. I was
happy. I went to the cultural exchange,
leaving my dorm room for the first time
in what seemed like endless days . I sat
in a crowded room and felt culturally inferior. I'm a white, evil American male.
The presentation was nice . No
socialization took place. I began to feel
alone in rooms full of people. Free hot
dogs and movies also brought me out of
my room. I thought I could socialize in
a friendly atmosphere. I grabbed a dog
and tried to socialize in a friendly atmosphere. I grabbed a dog and tried to
start a conversation. I hadn't done that
in a while. 'Sshhh!!!," the crowd jeered.
I ran and hid in my room vowing;
"They'll never take me alive . " Depression oozed from my walls . Death seem ed easier than going out. It was looking
bad for me as I cringed in a comer realizing, just like high school, I had no date
for the "Prom" . Poetry reading was next
on the list. The room was again mled
with off-campus people wanting to listen
to the presentation, not socialize. The
blade seemed easier than the loneliness.
Despair was oozing out my ears . I would
just like to thank everyone involved for
making this overcast week a bit easier for
me. You missed the mark .
Sincerely,
Jam es Hinkel

'HICKISH'
Dear joe Wilson,
I am extremely sorry that you fmd the
atmosphere here in the OlympiaThurston County area too "hickish."
Please let me remind you that there is a
state-llupported institute of higher education already in Seattle. It is the University of Washington. Perhaps if you could
be one of the tms of thousands of students
who attend this fme school, not to mention one of the millions who live in the
Seattle metropolitan area, you would lose
that "hickish" sensation.
As for myself and most others I have
spoken to, we find the small city ambiance of Olympia-Thurston County to
be supportive of a student's lifestyle. I enjoy talking to strangers on the bus or being able to see a movie for only a buck.
Think about that the next time you ride
Metro's No. 7 bus to see a flick in the
"U" District.
Sincerely,
Andrew Poultridge

CHECK IT OUT
Dear CPj,
Re: Michelle Mack and Renne's
response to "Someday":

Gee Whiz! Are we getting personal, or
what? You were expecting maybe joyce?
Or did your tall blonde friend's sapphiteblue eyes sparkle like Indian Slrmmer's
sweetest days anyway? Were they' those
same such days?
I
You mentioned buying reading
materials at Bayview, which would lead
me to believe that it's possible you pay
money for the CPj. If so, let me assure
you you got ripped off, and suggest you
let your fingers do the walking in the
Yellow Pages under "Brides in
Brooklyn-For Sale."
And if the curiosity is still killing.you,
Bayview does have some super deals on
"little friskies" this week-check it out.
Sincerely,
Paul Locke

IRRESPONSIBLE
Dear Community,
In an article entitled "WashPIRG
Seeks Support" in the Feb. 18, 1988 edition of the Cooper Point Journal, I made
an allegation that "Big Business" had
said to the House Environmental Affairs
Chairman that they would support, with
$25,000, any candidate who would oppose her if she passed Initiative. 97 out of
her committee. This allegation is totally
unfounded. It's a piece of irresponsible
journalism and I apologize to Rep. Nancy Rust for writing it.
The views expressed in the article were
my own independant views, not the ,view
ofWashPIRG or of the Citizen's Toxics
Cleanup Campaign. They did not belong
on the news page.
Once again, I apologize to Rep . Nancy Rust for any inconvenience this may
have caused her, and to everybody else
associated with the Initiative.

Fair Needs
Coordinator

Ron Smithrud
The Environmental Kesource Center
(ERC) is desperately seeking an interested student to be the campus coordinator for the Earth Fair celebration on
April 30-May 1, 1988. The ERC has
been working with the Office of
Cooperative Education to arrange an internship for the Earth Fair Coordinator
position. We are also willing to discuss
the possibilty of a stipend.
Earth Fair has been a celebration oflife
at Evergreen since 1982 . But without an
organizer, this streak may come to an
end . Earth Fair may not happen unless
somebody steps forward to organize the
project.
The Earth Fair coordinator will
organize all aspects of Earth Fair;
everything from facilitating meetings to
attending to every last detail of the project. Many other students have expressed an interest in helping the coordinator
coordinate Earth Fair, including the
ERC staff. In addition, there is a great
deal of information ab9utprevious Earth
fairs available at the ERC ..

A: Give up? Matthew Henson, an orphaned child born August 8, 1866 (three
years after the Emancipation Proclamation) in Maryland, and grew up to be the
first non-Eskimo to reach the North Pole .
In effect, young Matthew Henson started
making expeditions when he ran away
from an unkind stepmother and walked
barefoot all the way to Washington D.C.
in the middle of winter. There he was
taken in by a kind lady, and worked for
some time as dishwasher in her lunch
room. Stories told by a sailor fascinated
Henson , inspiring him to leave the lunchroom to seek work onboard a ship .
After walking to Baltimore he met up
with Captain Childs who hired him as a
cabin boy. Childs taught Henson to read
and write . Five years later, Captain
Childs died and Henson sought work on
the shore. He was forced to take some of
the only jobs open to Blacks at that time.
After having been a bellhop, a stevedore
and a watchman, Matthew went back to
Washington D .C . and landed ajob as a
stockclerk in a hat and fur shop. There
he met Lieutenant Peary, and accepted
a job offer to be Peary's valet on an expedition to survey a site for the proposed
canal to join the Pacific and Atlantic
Oceans .
In 1886 Henson got a job in Peary's
office, and Peary invited him to join an
expedition to explore the north of
Greenland. A Lieutenant Scaptec, hearing of Henson's intention to go , bet him
a hundred dollars that he would not
return with all his fingers and toes,
because he believed that a negro could
not survive the cold climate .
In Greenland, the rudder of Peary ' s
ship , "The Kite ", was hit by a large
iceberg causing the iron tiller to strike
Peary, breaking his leg. Henson made a

box-like cast for Peary's leg. On land,
Henson, because of his carpentry skills,
built sleds designed to carry eight hundred pounds, and a house, almost
singlehandedly. He befriended some
Eskimos who mistook him for an Eskimo
because of his skin color. He soon became
fluent in the Eskimo language, and acquired infonnation and skills essential to
survive the cold climate such as how to
build igloos, how to hunt and how to handle a team of dogs. In the spring, the
Peary party crossed the northern rim of
Greenland, proving that it was indeed an
island.
At this point, the expedition returned
to New York. Peary lectured on their experiences throughout the states in order
to raise funds to I{O back to Greenland
and reach the North Pole. As a highlight
to the lectures, Henson, dressed in furs,
would come onto the stage with a dog
team and sled. While Peary referred to
Henson as his assistant, the newspapers
claimed that Henson was merely a servant. After one of his perfonnances, Henson spotted Lieutenant Scaptec and collected his one hundred dollars for having
all his fingers and toes.
"" On their second trip to Greenland, the
Peary party encountered severe storms,
and Henson and Peary decided to wait
until the next year before setting out
again. When the supply ship, "The
Falcon" , arrived in Greenland that
August, all but three of the men on the
expedition (Perry, Henson and Lee) left.
Later, after many adventures and hardships, Perry and Henson again returned
to the States, bringing with them animal
skins, and specimens of scientific interest,
such as gigantic meteorites, as a means

to raise funds to journey to the North
Pole.
Impressed by the fine job Henson had
done on skinning musk-oxen and other
animials, the curator of the American
Museum of Natural History hired Henson to help with the mounting of the
animals and to guide the artists in painting artic backgounds for the displays.
In 1896, 1897 and 1898, Peary and
Henson made more unsuccessful attempts to reach the North Pole. Bad
weather conditions in 1898 caused
Peary's toes to freeze completely, and he
had to have them amputated . Upon
returning to America, Henson decided to
take a trip to explore his own 'country,
and was shocked at the blatant racism he
observed and encountered in some of the
southern states.
Some years later, he again set out for
the North Pole with Peary. Henson traded knives and ammunition with the
Eskimos for dogs, clothing and Eskimo
recruits to travel with the expedition. The
group decided to set up a support system,
with each team of men traveling part of
the way to the Pole, and only two of the
Americans (Peary and Henson)making
the final leg of the trip.
While Henson and his Eskimo companion, Ootab, were traveling across thin
ice, the ice broke and Henson fell into the
freezing water. If it had not been for
Ootab, who pulled him out, Henson
would have died . When they had travelled for four more hours, Matthew Henson stopped, an<f he and Ootab built and
igloo. Fourty-five minutes later, Peary arrived and confinned the spot as the North
Pole. And so, on April 6, 1909, Matthew Henson planted the American flag
on the North Pole as Peary saluted. Unfortunately, Henson's part in the expedition was overlooked in the United States
because of racial prejudice.
Henson and his wife were honored at
the White House in 1954 on the 45th anniversary of the discovery . A year later,
Henson died. Today, a bronze bust at the
Explorers Club in New York, a plaque
at the State House, Annapolis, and a hall
in his honor at Dillard University commemorate his work .

Walkin g up to A Dorm, oft times yo u
can hear a lo ud and obnoxious laugh
seem ing to come from the skies. When
I arrived at room 911, I found the source .
Dav id Henshaw a nd Tom Aron, this
week's int erviewees, sat there grinning
and waiting for me.
The laugh belongs to Dave. Loud, obnoxious a nd resonant, it 's heard easily on
the ninth fl oor. Long-haired, freckled and
dressed raggedly , his appearance meets
its oppos ite in Tom.
Tom's grin is wide and his eyes sparkle
behind thick glasses when he smiles. A
worn, greasy baseball cap covers his head
and dark hair . His chair squeaks as he
rocks back a nd forth .
One of the many signs on their front
door reads : " Well, well, well , look who
just got uncivilized." Their room IS a
perfect example of this quote.
A full size refrigerator, washer and
dryer ami three TVs are all in the room
cluttered with clean and dirty clothes,
dolla rs worth ofloose change on the floor
and o th el' miscell aneo us items, in cluding "earthqua ke in a can ."
I noticed a portion of their room had
been painted in a different color than the
rest. Why;>
"Well , last year someo ne pointed out
to us that there was a large space in the
ceiling of one of the roo ms ," explained
Dave, "so we reserved 9 11 , the emergency room, for this year. When we got here
we op ~ ned it up with a circu la r saw and
hammers and I slept up there for the first
five weeks of the quarter in the ten by ten
space . "
It didn ' t last long, though, because
"some bourgeoisie-cap ita listic-swine told
Housing abou t us. We don ' t know the
namC' of th e person, but we'd be glad to
\0

publish it if we did," Dave added .
Housing representatives gave the pair
a 24-hour notice that they would be lookin g at their room . In between, Dave
repaired and painted the hole, putting it
back in its original state. But despite his
e ffort s, Housing maintenance broke out
the hole and repaired it again .
"So we broke out the hole and fixed
it, " said Dave. "Housing then broke out
the hole and fixed it and then charged us
$ 120 for what they did."
Even though Housing did this , "we
have ex tended an invitation to Bob of
Housing to come on up for some beer and
coo kies," said Aron , "but he has to give
us a 24 hour notice."
Bob has not accepted.
After you talk to these guys, you realize
th at it 's impossible to get anything serious
o ut of them . The point is they aren't.
"We' re looking forward to the water
fights in the spring. We haven't lost one
yet," said Dave. "It may be the advantage that we live on the top floor. It may
also be the advantage that we just don't
lose.
"We were looking forward to snowball
fi ghts with people on the ground, but
there just wasn't enough snow this year,"
he added.

Housing has a little problem with the
spring water follies. Last year, Dave
stood under the dorm balconies with a
camera while Tom dropped 50 gallons of
water out of a trash can on him for an
action photo.
On its downward trip, the water passed Housing's third floor meeting on its
way towards Henshaw's body. The
group of student managers did notice the
midair wave pass by-but, they failed to
see the perpetrators . Henshaw and Aron
escaped unscathed.
Housing has secret enemies in these
two, but proof of their activities is rarely
detected.
In a spoof on the Strategic Defense Initiative (SOl), Henshaw made a video
about a condom testing facility . The
nuclear condoms would go under a
rigorous testing procedure in an attempt
to go up into space and 'render nuclear
missles impotent and obsolete' .

"I~.is what the president asked for,"
said Dave.

One test was to see if condoms could
fly or at least withstand an impact of 55
miles per hour which required pulling a
condom over a watermelon and dropping it from the ninth floor, three times for
angle variety. The condom failed, but the
spoof didn't.
It's at this point that Tom hands me
a monster pickle. I accept. Tasty.
Out of the blue, Tom says: "We think
you should make us a cheesecake." The
obvious answer. Why?
He continued: "College is a place to
learn, and learning doesn't stop at school.
Part of learning is to learn how to make
a good cheesecake."
"Or how to get one," quips Dave.

CPJ Editor Still Under Suspense

February 25, 1988

OOP-ART

Contains

Secrets

by Janis Byrd

After nearly three months of controversy CPj editor Ben Tansey was suspended from his position last week.
Tuesday afternoon, less than a week
later, in a meeting Tansey chose not to
attend, the Communications Board heard
additional testimony from several individuals, entered two letters into the
record of documents previously collected
and read a letter directed to the board
from Tansey .
After adjourning into executive session
for deliberation, board chairman Janine
Thome announced Tansey's continued
suspension. Tansey , she said, would be
given approximately two weeks to respond to the additional charges presented
during open testimony .
Then, immediately prior to reading the
charges against Tansey , Thome read a
detailed list of documents into the record
which had been received by the board
from various members of the Evergreen
community .
Those documents include letters to the
board from Hector Douglas , dated
11/29/87; Brian Hoffman , dated 12/1 /87;
Jeremy Morrison , dated 12/3/87 ; Seth
Harrison, dated 12/4/87; Timothy
O'Brien, dated 12/10/87;Ben and Benjamin, dated 12/31/87 ; Susan Finkel ,
dated 1/7/88; Carol Poole , dated 212188 ;
LlGRC, dated 212/88; concerned CPj
staff, dated 2/3188; Sheila Pullen , dated
2/3/88; First People's Community
Recommendations; Pablo Bellon , dated
2/12/88.
Other documents considered are a letter from Andrea Miller to Ben Tansey,
dated 1212/87; a letter from CPj staff to
Stone Thomas, dated Februa ry 1; all
issues of the CPj from fall quarter present; oral testimony (available through
Communications Board Minutes; and
minutes of the board for November 13 ,
December 11, January 8 and February
12.
Under EAC 174-163-020 , the board
found that it had' 'reason to believe Mr.
Tansey has interfered with and at times
prevented : 'Students and members of the
Community to contribute to the editorial ,
operational, and managerial component s
(of the _CPJ)."

the letters from H ector Dou glas, Bria n
Hoffman, Andrea Miller, Seth Harrison ,
Carol Poole and the R esolution for the

"Also relating to EAC 174-163-020,

"The Board has perceived an apparent
pattern of bias with respect to the above
EAC in the manner in which ma terial
submitted to Mr. T a nsey and the CPJ
has been accepted, edit ed, a nd/or re j ected for publication. "
Tansey was also cha rged with " lack o f

and Andrea Miller, along with the
R esolution for the Dismissal of Benjamin
T a nsey were used to substantiate the
" lac k of organizationaL . . " skills charges

Those offering additional testimony
critical of Tansey ' s performance were
student s Kelly Hawk, Hector Douglas
a nd Pablo Bellon. Those offering
tes timony in support of Tansey were Darrel Riley, and a former staff volunteer.
Robert Murray offered testimony

to the smooth operation of any

T a nsey' s last editorial, written February
18 , was an obvious example of his
di sregard for the feelings of the communit y, particularly the feelings -of the
ph ys icall y challenged students on
ca mpu s.
rn T ansey's letter to the board, he said,
" r feel as though you are asking me to
select th e ' complaints' you received and
dec ide which ones to respond to .... The
Board had a mple opportunity to question

Concluding his letter, Tansey said, 'I
implore you to make the difficult decision
you have before you today, not just with
the valu e of freedom of the press in mind,
but with all the ideals and values that you
as individuals came to Evergreen with."
All documentation in this case is a matter of public record and can be made

Tansey's Suspended
Two More Weeks

The explaining away of OOP-ARTs
(Out-of-Place-Artifacts) by orthodox
scientists rarely reaches a crescendo of
denial: it often consists merely of
thunderous silence. Ambiguous artifiacts
are remanded to obscurity on museum
storage shelves, in private carnivals, or
sold as fake antiques. Cataloging and
authenticating procedures appear to be
guided by the familiar Maltese proberb:
Ahbar Li Ma Taqbellekx Toqghodx
Tismaghha-"Never listen to unwelome

-"'- news:--"

~

.- ...... -

Some OOP-ARTs are, of course, only Piltdownjokery or cost-of-living scams. ,
Others are so out of context that the
cultural meanings may never be
discovered.
Among the 30,000 unique artifacts
found on a hillside in Mexico, the Acambaro figurines Gulsrud Connection) include figures of Pleistoncene and
Mesozoic Dinosaurs, (the Fihimaflhi inscription on the belly of the triceratops
does not read "Lemurian tarsier alert:
watch out for falling dinosaurs"). By current paradigms, such objects are considered impossible, and therefore fake.
Other such outcasted objects include the
Baghdad Battery, the Salzberg Cube and
the famous Coso Artifact (see Rene
Noorbergen or Zechariah Sitchin).
If the fossilized "spark plug" found in
a geode on a California hillside is authen-

tic (Desert Magazine; Feb, 1961), it is
evidence of an ancient high-tech production capability.
There are many indications that
humanity has experienced not one ancient rise to "civilization," but severai.
Each ended in cataclysm (X a-Tun) and
the creation of a new world, as recorded
in certain of the ancient lore of Eurasia
and Oceania, and in published portions
of the Hopi Prophecy and the Popol Yuh.
Residues found in folk and literary tradition provide clues: the coiffure common
to the PhoeniCian" Atlantean Prestess"
statue in the Madrid Museum is practically identical to that of some Hopie
tribeswomen and to that of the celluloid
Princess Leia; the description of 18-day
nuclear holocaust in the Hindu
Mahabharata; the orbital precision of
Shiva Tripurare; Kullervo Redivivus;
Amlodhi the Navigator; all are signs that
we may have passed this way before.
Old patterns of doom represented in
stones throughout the ages transcended
rather than re-enacted (as with the
Orpheus-Eurydice legend, which is
parallel to the woeful tale of the daughter
of Kisin [Mother Jones; Feb. 88, p. 401 J).
The raising ' of the human consciousness can stave off the further terrible misuse of material power that led to
the destruction of Atlantis and ensure
that humanity be made worthy of a birth
into space. One planet, one people,
please.

Opinion
Nurturing
Hypocrisy
by Robert Murray
Ask anyone at Evergreen if they support freedom of speech rights granted by
the first amendment and you will surely
hear a spontaneous affirmation. Then ask
about a more specific example of someone's expressed opinion and you will
hear the full range of responsesdepending on that person's position on
the matter.
Isn't harrassment of women illegal?
How about harrassment of minorities or
those with different opinons? Most of us
favor our own ideas and positions for
'which we will gladly stand and argue, but
in a living and learning community, why
do we permit undue abuse and character
, assassination?
Petty lies & Backroom
Political Conspiracies
The Communications Board should
recognize that when one or two other student groups use their influence to extort
service from another legitimate student
organization, it is not the victim that
should be punished; especially when that
, punishment will surely breed further
abuse.
Evergreen is a place oflofty ideals and
brilliant innovations, however, if someone is down, especially if they're not
a member of any group-it's okay to kick
them again.

continued from page 2

If the allegation that Tansey is insensitive to members of the First People's
Coalition, the UGRC or other group is
true, does that make him incompetent?
Is there anyone truly capable of
quantitatively determining the extent
that another person is motivated by
bias?
, But there are bigger issues.
In the CPJ's history, its editor has
never been suspended. Suspension is
serious business.
First Amendment rights allow editors
.(including editors of school papers) to
.' " make',wide::sweeping decisions about
, wh6t constitUtes news and how it is
presented.

Historically, court decisions have
upheld editorial prerogatives; and,
editors are not mandated under affirmative action or equal access to provide quantitatively measurable
coverage to any particular institution,
group, club, association or individual.
A question I would pose then is: "Is
it appropriate ta maintain 0 social contract that may contradict, or, may infringe on First Amendment rights?"
Or, are EAC guidelines which refer
to operating "in as professional a
manner as their skills and experience
permit," sufficient, particularly given
that thit..school has no formal communications department providing
committed journalism students. staff or

a training budget for the CPJ?
Or, have we perhaps forgotten that
there is no mandatory rule of conduct
or professional ethic required for journalists. There are suggested ethical
guidelines, but there is no enforcer and
no test administered to pre-judge
ethics.
Another question . seems to require
more serious and even soul-searching
thought. That is: "do we have to like
everyone, particularly when we tend
to discount people who hold different
opinions from our own? Could that by
any chance mean we want everyone
to think and act as intolerantly as we
might?"

Bonanza of Greener Theater CODling
•

~rin~ In

by John Robinson
What do actors do when they aren't acting? Wait on tables? Sweep floors?
cook? Yes, yes, and yes. But if they can,
they'd rather stick to the theater realm.
Marty Friedman and Dan Cass, ordinarily actors. havr: bf':r:n concentrating
on fundraising for an upcoming productu

tion of Sam Shepard's Curse of the Starving Class. The play will be performed
March 9-11 in Evergreen Recital Hall .
Although original high hopes were
dashed when dinner, dance and raflle
plans all fell through, they have recovered
strongly: to the tune of $850, $450 of that
raised by three daytime bake sales in the
CAB, and one concession for KAOS.
$450 from four sales? At about $106
a pop, there's got to be a catch.
"We really concentrated on presentation," said Friedman. "We used lace
tablecloths, silver platters, paid special attention to the appearance of the food and
made the prices reasonable."
One of the sales last quarter featured
"Santa Claus and the Giant Elf." Cass
and Friedman danced and sang to get
reluctant buyers to indulge. As a result,
not a morseil was left; cash had taken its
place.
"We want to extend a big thank you
to those people who helped support the
Curse, " said Friedman.
They ran concessions for "We
Three's" performance, and will likely
have one more sale "to provide a cushion
because the final budget costs aren't in
yet," said Casso
The other $400 was donated by
Maraava, Evergreen's Jewish Cultural
Organization. which was also responsible for initiating funding for Evergreen's
literary magazine, Slightly West.
Sam Segall, coordinator of Maraava,
feels strongly about this avenue of support for Evergreen's artistic community.
"Art is just one of the many me9iums
Evergreen can use to educate the community about the cultural diversity that
exists here on campus," Segall explained. "With this kind of p'o~s campus support, Maraava would like to derilonst~ate
a strong desire to begin cultivating the ar-

tlstlC resources here at Evergreen. We
encourage people to see this play and
judge for themselves what effects it has
on individuals and society not to have a
cultural base. This type of support should
be utilized more often."
Cass and Friedman expressed disappointment at the lack of funding available
for students interested in theater. Friedman stated: "Even though there is an
overwhelming interest in theater here at
Evergreen, there is a tremendous lack of
financial support for it."
The only amount allocated for this production was $200, given Ed Trujillo out
of the remainder of the Senior Thesis
budget. The money will pay for royalties
to be given to the author and publisher
.
for producing their play .
Amazingly, this group has raised nearly $1,000 one prior to production and
have had a good time doing it. "The actual making of the food for the bake sales
was a blast," said Friedman, "everybody
was involved in the production (seven
people) got into it."
T-shirts, handrawn by Jill Carter for
The Curse, will be available for sale in the
CAB in the next couple of weeks.
Cass and Friedman realize the onus is
on them when the performance night
comes around.
"It is our responsibility that people
come to the show. If they don't, we're at
fault,' said Cass o "A play of this
magnitude really promotes itself though ,
so we walk a fine line between effectively
promoting and over promoting," added
Friedman.
After working long hours on photo
shoots and graphic designs for posters
and the play program, they've become
familiar with the process of picking the
correct images and setting up proper
timelines in which to convey them.
They know the promoters of two other
productions on campus and there is a genuine comraderie between them. Consequently there is a lot of mutual promotion going on.
"Everyone who has an interest in
theatre should come to these plays," said

Casso "All three are free, and they would
be interesting to see as a set," added
Friedman.
Wait tables? Cook? Nab, I'll stick to
theatre, tharIks.

Trujillo Named
Vice-Chair
'
Evergreen faculty member Ed Trujillo
was named second vice-chair of the
Washington State Arts Commission
earlier this month.
Serving his first term on the commission, Trujillo is a member of the Awards

Arts Manager.

Women, Art
Lecture Topic
Painter and printmalter Betty LaDuke
will give a lecture entitled "Women, Art
and Social Change" at 8 pm Mar. 2 in
Library 4300. Some of her work, "MultiCultural Images: Paintings and Prints,"
has been on exhibit in the fourth floor
gallery since Feb. 6.
LaDuke uses images derived from the
theme of human relationships and has
been influenced by her travels in Papau
New Guinea, Borneo, Indonesia, India,
Latin America and Africa . She records
the frontiersof cultures in transition in her
work.
As a teacher at Southern Oregon State
College since 1964, LaDuke is committed to imparting the wealth of her experiences and is particularly involved
with teaching "Women In Art," and
"Multi-Cultural Arts." She is also the
author of a book entitled Companeras:
Women, Art and Social Change in Latin
America.

by John Robinson
Plenty of theater talent will be on
display at Evergreen during the last two
weeks of winter quarter. Two of the three
upcoming productions are senior theses.
A ll three plays are free, and should not
be missed by interested theater goers.
The directors of these pieces have
much in common. Kelly Mills, Bruce
Wood, and Reuben Yancey have spent
all of their years at Evergreen, and the
majority of that time they concentrated
on different aspects of theater.
One particular common thread between them is their joint participation in
the "Moving Image Ensemble" (MIE).
MIE was a performing troupe of 10-12
people who performed at the Capitol
Theatre in Olympia and little known
places like "On The Boards" (a small
cutting edge theater in Seattle). MIE concentrated on communication through
movement in the same way literary
theater communicates with the audience
through words.
All three have turned their aspirations
toward directing at this time. Mills has
been working on her production since last
August. Invocation will be performed in
the Library Lobby on March 11-12. She
describes it as a dance theater piece
primarily inspired by the Green River
murder victims.
"I was getting very disturbing images
of abused women as a result of the killings," Mills explained, "at the same
time, more bodies were discovered. It
was very synchronous with what was going through my head at the time."
Three segments make up Invocation:
Green River; Requiem; and, Feast (unfinished business). Several themes gain
momentum as the play progresses.
"There is a standoff or confrontation
between what could be viewed as male
and female principles," she said, "both
mundane and symbolic... almost a
murderous struggle between these principles of conflict. "
Although Mills may have specific images she wants to convey, she maintains
that "they are not nry images", and
therefore she gives her cast of ten (which
includes herself) some leeway on their

parts. "I may be strict about some things,
but mainly I try to make sense out of the
images with the performers."
Yancey, author and director of The
Cunning, which will be performed in the
experimental theater Mar . 2-5, has a
similar outlook about directing his cast
of six.
"I creatively engage with the actors,
but there's a certain dynamic I want and
I don't really care how they get to it. I
definitely picked the right people," he
said referring to the audition selection
process.
Yancey, reluctant to talk abou t the
structure or content of the play, describes
The Cunning as a minimalist play written
out of anger. He did refer to Richard L.
Rubinstein's book The Cunning of History
(1968) as a main inspiration, but would
like the play to speak for itself.
"This is an intimate piece, with the actors and audience are very close to each
other," Yancey reflected . "It took me
about four months to write it, but because
of the emotional charge behind it, it
wasn't hard to do."
Yancey spoke both of theater's power
a nd the predicament it faces. "Commerical theater is dying," he said.
"There just isn't enough interest. Mean"
while, there are some really excellent
things going on in beat-up halls and
basements that don't make anyone
money. Theater has such incredible
potential. What it can do to and for people is powerful. You can generate interest
in something, heal past pain, and create
new perspectives in people through
theater. "
Author Sam Shepard has created a few
new perspectives and has generated a little interest in Bruce Wood and his cast
of nine. Wood is directing Shepard's
Curse of The Starving Class, a lengthy '
production-about two and a half
hours-scheduled for Mar . 9-11 in the
Recital Hall. Wood decided to tackle The
Curse after reading it in a bar in Spain.
The impact was strong . "There's
something in this play about spirit that
just struck me really hard when I finished it."

Spirit and pain. The actors in this play
"must confront a wall of pain," said
Wood, "before they can get into their
roles. My job is to create an atmosp'here
in which the actors can break down those
walls. I don't know why actors go
through what they do-it's totally
insane . "
Insane but necessary. He is speaking
from past experience. Having both acted
and directed, he differentiates between
the two in the following way: "Acting is
harder. It takes a much different energy
to act than it does to direct."
Wood has directed scenes before, but
Curse has presented him with a
monumental task. "For every four pages
of script material, it takes at least two
hours of rehearsal time," he explained.
"But it's not a negative thing; the script
has become an outline, a score to work
from, not something to get to."
For these three directors, the road
doesn't end "Yith their productions.
Mills plans to audition, perform and
continue to submit works in the future.
She did complain of the length of time it
takes for grants to come throughsometimes up to a 4-year wait for official
acceptance. She leans more towards dancing than acting, but is willing to bend
to whatever is available.
Yancey has applied to get into the performance studies program at New York
University. If heisn't accepted, he'll go
to Seattle to "work at some vile job," b~t
plans to continue to direct in any lacet
he finds available.
Wood has applied to three different
graduate schools. He has a strong desire
to continue studying the philosophy of
directing, but equally as important to him
is his writing and acting . He has recently submitted a one act play to an academy
in New York for critique.
The consensus among this group is "if
you want to do something badly enough,
you can find a way to do it. Beg, borrow
and steal if you have to." The drive
within these people could take them a
long way-it starts with these
productions.

Picking the Oscars

'The Cunning' Explores Stark Subjects
by Michele Griffin
The Cunning, a senior thesis play writteft and directed by Reuben Yancey, will
"be presented in the Experimental
Theatre, at 8 pm March 2-5,
The play according to Yancey, "ex"plores the issues of the Iran-Contra scan' dal, death squads, the Holocaust, the
: masks that people wear and the cages that
, they put themselves in,"
Yancey's personal life experiences were
a major catalyst in writing the play. He
started writing The Cunning last summer
after viewing "Shoah" a nine-hour
, documentary containing contemporary

Senior Thesis
Exhibit Opens

Susan Breary's senior thesis oil pain: ting exhibit will open on Mar. 4 in the
: Lab I lobby, Breary's studies include
~ seven months of work in France during
:, 1987; she attended Parsons School of
: Design and Ecole Des Beaux-Arts, The
,~ rest of her art study was completed here
~ at Evergreen.
'

interviews with the survivors of the Nazi
Germany death camps.
The play is being directed in an "intimate, minimalist" style. Yancey chose
this genre of theatre because, "the subject matter of the play is stork. There are
no distractions. There's no place to
hide. "
Cast members of The Cunning have
been confronted with their personal
understanding of the issues in the play,
At one particular rehearsal, an improvisational exercise was used to help
actress Gretchen Chase get more in touch
with her character. Gretchen described

it saying, "Before the improv, I hated
coming to rehearsal. I couldn't understand a woman in that much pain. ~t (the
exercise) made me feel aUthe coldness,
the pain, and the hate that she (the
character) feels." It was a major
breakthrough for Gretchen as an actress,
and for the cast as a whole.

Students to
Display 3-D Art

Stephanie Humpal plays a character
she considers a victim. Her involvement
in the play has given her a clearer image
of "the victims and the bad guys, who
they are and why." She sees issues
presented in The Cunning as ever-prese~t
in daily life. This has brought certam
issues from "a societal level to a more
personal level, making their implications
more important," she explained.

Sixteen students from the" Form and
Function" program will exhibit their best
works in Gallery 2 in the Library beginning Mar. 5. The opening is planned
from 5 to 8 pm Mar. 4.
"The three-dimensional art exhibit
w ill range from very specific functional
pieces like chairs and pieces about
I ighting to sculptural forms that explore
personal themes," said faculty member
Jean Mandeberg. The scuplture is made
from a variety of materials including
metal, wood, paper, neon and clay.
The same group of students, last
December, showed their fall term projects
outside.

Colin Green, who plays a more antagonistic character, spoke about the effect of the exercise on himself and others
in the cast. "It gave us a better

February 17,1988, Wednesday morning 3 a.m. the n'o mination for the
Academy Awards were announced to a
sleeping nation. If you want to know the
complete list of nominations, you can
look them up in the Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning papers. As
one who likes films, lists and predictions,
I thought I would tell you who I think will
win, who should win, and who should
have won had they been nominated.
BEST PICTURE:
WILL: Last Emperor
SHOULD: Broadcast News
CAN'T: Full Metal Jacket
Out of the five mms nominated, three
are comedies (Broadcast News, Moonstruck,
Hope and Glory) so they will immediately
be disqualified. Fatal Attraction made too
much money and is too popular to win.
Last Emperor is the only "epic"
nominated, therefore it will win. Full
MetalJacket was the greatest film I have
seen using the Vietnam War as a back

----Media

drop; the acting was superb and was
directed by Stanley Kubrick, which is
reason enough.
BEST ACTOR
WILL: William Hurt(Broadcast News)
SHOULD: Robin Williams (Good Morning Vietnam)
CAN'T: Scott Glenn (Man On Fire)
The Academy will continue its 3-year
love affair with William Hurt (Kiss oj the
Spider Woman, Children oj a Lesser God).
Robin Williams was great, but he didn't
act. Scott Glen gave a great performance
in a film overlooked by almost everyone
except me.
BEST ACTRESS:
WILL/SHOULD: Holly Hunter (Broadcast News)
CAN'T: Faye Dunaway (Barfly)
Holly Hunter was the best newcomer
of the year. There was incredibly great
acting this year, Bette Davis in Whales oj
A ugust, Lindsay Crouse in House oj Games,
and Faye Dunaway was incredible as an
alcoholic in Barfly.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR:
WILL: Denzel Washington (Cry Freedom)
SHOULD: Albert Brooks (Broadcast
News)
CAN'T: Kevin Tighe (Matewan)
Both Washington and Brooks should
rightfully be in the best actor category,
but Washington will win for his electricfying performance as slain South African
activ:ist Stephen Biko. The entire cast of
Matewan should g.et this award, but unfortunately Matewan wasn't nominated
for any awards. Tighe, formerly Gage in
CBS's Emergency, played the meanest
S.O.B. on the silver screen this year.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
WILL: Anne Archer (Fatal Attraction)
SHOULD:
Olympia
Dukakis
(Moonstruck)
CAN'T: Lillian Gishe (Whales oj August)
Archer will get Fatal Attraction's only major award. I never saw Moonstruck but I'll
vote for anyone named Olympia. Whales
oj August will probably be the last time we

BEST DIRECTOR:
WILL/SHOULD: Lasse Hallstrom(My
Life As A Dog)
CAN'T: Stanley Kubrick (Full Metal
Jacket)
My Life As A Dog was the best picture
of the year, but since it wasn't
nominated, or submitted as best foreign
film, Hallstrom will receive the best director award . He deserves it. Kubrick
should have been nominated just for being Kubrick.

1988 was a great year lor loreign
language films (ie . My Life As A Dog,
Tampopo, Man Facing Southeast, Jean de
Florette, etc.) but none of these films were
nominated, and the five that were are not
known to me, therefore I must abstain
from this ca tegory.
I think a special award should be given
to the re-release of John Frankenheimer's
Manchurian Candidate starring Frank
Sinatra. This film was out of circulation
for 16 years due to Sinatra's nervousness
about the subject matter. Of all the films
I have seen in the last twelve monthsa bout a hundred-Manchurian Candidate

has been recommended by Student Affairs Vice President Gail Martin, the Student Communications Center, The Cooper
Point Journal, KAOS, and Information
Services.
Pet Policy DTF Chairperson Gary
Russell and members of the DTF are
revising the existing policy because it is
unenforceable and complaints of unleashed dogs have escalated. The DTF's purpose is not to ban animals from campus,
but to keep them under control and in
safe conditions.
The recommended revision suggests
the new policy conform to Thurston
County animal control ordinance, address community concerns about personal safety and college liability , be enforceable by security department standards and not require additional human
or financial resources beyond the current
budget level.
