Editor's Note:
A fter a long drawn out series of
events, Evergreen's Communications
Board has decided to suspend my
responsibilities as editor effective 5:00
pm today. A final decision to retain or
terminate me 'will be made next week.
Despite all the controversy, I feel I
have been true to myself and that I
have upheld the journalistic principles
which the Boord hired me to maintain.
Such principles preclude the corollary of affirmative action with regard
to editorial content. This is well,
because I believe that affirmative action, as interpreted here at Evergreen, .
is racist. Moreover, as an editor, it has
been my responsibility to uphold a
journalistic principle which states that
all parties engaged in a newsworthy
event be given fair, balanced and
equal representation . I take pride in
that that is what I have done.
I care very deeply about this school
and its striving to provide an alternative and better education. That is
why r after over ten years of rebelling
against the traditional form of education, I came here.

By making the decision they did, the
Board affirmed that a small group of
people can influence policy by sound
and fury alone. That is not the sort of
decision-making with which I wish to be
associated.
Decisions at Evergreen are often
made by people 'who are so sensitive
to issues of fairness, that they scrap it
by letting "process" overwhelm them .
Many non-curricular activities at
Evergreen self-destruct in an orgy of
good intention. Well, good intentions
are not enough to change the world.
It also takes guts, and a willingness to
take a stand and be held accountable
for it. "Consensus," so prized here, is
the method by which decisions are
made without accountability. If
Evergreen survives, it will be by the
grace of its societal setting. A person
is noble if he believes in nonviolence,
but he is a fool if he doesn't protect
himself.
In any case, I wish everyone well,
and I hope this has been a learning ex perience for all of us.

It IS likely to be . An unjust persecution ends
only when the innocent vic tim is w iped off

guilt is almost indistinguishable from blind

persistence of a persecution cannot be cited
as evidence of its justness.

IRONIC
To The Evergreen Community ,
I t has always seemed ironic to me to have
a single month devoted to Black History .
Every month should be devoted to Black
History. Black history is American
history and American history is Black
history. Black history often focuses on the
accomplishments of a few outstanding
Black individuals . But Blacks have a pattern of powerful influence on American
history which isn't often recognized .
Blacks were in North America starting
at least in the 17th century, as free men.
I t was only later in the next century that
they became slaves . The Constitutional
Crisis in Philadelphia was caused, in
part, by the issue of whether to make
Blacks full citizens or not. Everyone
knows that Crispus Attucks, the first man
to die in the Revolutionary War, was a
Black man, and that the surveryor of
Washington D .C ., Benjamin Banneker,
was Black. But how many legal scholars
know of Joseph Cinque, whose fight to
return to Africa caused the ailing expresident John Quincy Adams to act as
a lawyer in front of the Supreme Court,
risking censure for a cause he felt was
just? Who's teachers have told them of
an entire society of free Creole people in
the South, especially in New Orleans,
who considered themselves the height of
European culture and who spoke mainly
French? Do you think Chicago's citizens
know that Chicago's founder was a black
man named Jean Baptiste Pointe de
Sable? Who's Washington history book
says that traveling with Lewis and Clark
was a black man named York who helped
w in the friendship of the Indian tribes in
the lands they traveled through.
Do the stories you've read about The
West tell you that the Buffalo Soldiers
who "tamed" the American West were
Black? Everyone knows about the famous
killers in the West, like Billy the Kid. But
Blacks had their share of killers, too, as
well as victims. The first man shot in
Dodge was a Black cowboy named Tex.
C herokee Bill was one of the West ' s Black
badmen. Before he was hung they asked
him ifhe had any last words. He replied,
" I came here to die , not to make a
speech ." Will Rogers and Tom Mix were
assistants to, and probably learned much
of their Western showmanship from Bill

Pickett, a Black man who invented the
sport of bulldogging.
Blacks have been important in our own
state. Centralia was founded by a Black
man named George Washington. His son
George Washington Bush's claim on the
land around Puget Sound was the basis
for the compromise reached between the
British and the Americans over the
Oregon Territory . Without his claim,
Evergreen might today be part of
Canada!
As I walk around the Evergreen campus, I hear students speaking in Black
speech patterns and listening to Black
music. I see colorful clothing that might
have come directly from Africa. I go into the cafeteria and see African food. I
hear African words, even iIi. the most
celebrated of American institutions, folk
music. That's right, banjo is an African
word. I gave blood the other day. It was
made possible because of the pioneering
reserach into blood preservation by a
Black man, Charles Drew . Americans
often like to proclaim thei~ strong cultural
ties to Europe . Where are they? When
one of America's most famous opera
singers, Leontyne Price, is Black it's hard
for me to imagine why Americans think
American culture is more strongly indentified with European culture than with
African. Pat Robertson's style of
preaching would have been laughed at 30
years ago as too Black. Today not only
is it accepted but he is using it as a platform to run for the highest political office . Or does the name Jesse Jackson ring
any bells?
By the way, there were thousands of
Chinese working on the railroads of the
American West. Does anyone know
where they went? Could it be that a lot
of folks in this country have Chinese
heritage that they don't know about? And
whatever happened to all of the American
Indians? Black history isn't the only
history which is excluded from textbooks .
Don ' t get smug about Black History
month-America is in an ongoing battle
to define itself in ways that don't make
sense and one month of a conscious
change of attitudes isn't going to change
much .
As Black History month progresses,
don't just pay atten tion to the single impact of powerful black leaders, like Mar-

tin Luther KingJr., or Malcolm X . Look
instead at the patterns and impact of
Black History on American history .
Maybe soon these ridiculous notions of
separate histories will finally be recognized as the selective teachings of a history
that doens't exist and Americans can
begin to learn about their real heritage .

ERRONEOUS
Dear CPJ Editor,
I must resJ.lond to the article by
Samantha Chandler on Palestinian
Rights in your January 21 issue.
There are many erroneous statements
made either by the speakers at the rally
or in the interpretation by Ms. Chandler.
As to the claim of "open arms" held
out to immigrating Jews by the Palestinians, there were many Palestinian Arabs
who lived and worked side by side with
Jewish emmigrants and they even fought
together against the British army during
the 30's and the 40's. However, there
were many vicious attacks against the
Jewish settlers by the Palestinian Arabs
during the pre-1948 time.
The very minute that Israel was
declared a state they were attacked by
Arabs from all sides before they could
even put together a government
structure.
The claim that" . . . the Arabs retained
faith that the U .S . would come to their
aid" is unadulterated horseshit. The
U . S. is no friend of the Palestinians,
never was and there were never any expectations on the part of the Palestinians .
It's as assinine a statement as saying that
Afghani freedom fighters were waiting for
the Russians to come to their aid.
Next I found the article implies that the
Palestinian Liberation Organization
(PLO) is not a terrorist organization except as it is represented by the media .
Reagan says that the Contras aren't terrorists either but I would hope that the
Evergreen community would be smart
enough to see through this lie too.
The PLO has carried out and claimed
responsibilty for many acts of violence
against the state of Israel. Plane hijackings, guerrilla attacks against school
buses, bombs placed in public places and

many other means of violence and death
hey wreak on the Israeli state
The PLO's self-stated purpose is the
destruction of the state of Israel and for
this reason Israel will not sit down and
talk with the PLO . Most Palestinian
Arabs are not members of or support the
PLO, yet they are still striving for
freedom.
Although I was appalled at some of the
propoganda in this article, I totally agree
that the state 'of Israel is committing
tremendous atrocities against the Palestinians. They have expropriated land
without compensation, they have beaten
and jailed Palestinians randomly and
have not allowed any autonomy or selfgovernment.
Yes the similarities to Apartheid are
great and yes as Americans we must protest Israel's actions. Let us learn about
this situation objectively though rather
t han
by
dispensing
fallacious
propaganda.
PS: The CP] has been looking pretty decent lately. Good show! Your proofreader
was notably absent from the last issue ,
though.
Sincerely,

One thing I feel that most men share
is a certain amount of fear, anger, insecurity and frustration . For some of us
this shows up as problems in our relationships, for others a feeling of stuckness and
hopelessness; in others this manifests in
abuse and violence.
I have heard men say they feel helpless
about the rape situaiton . Such men are
clear that they cou ld never rape .
However, to not commit rape is not
enough. What men must also do is stop
the driving force and the cause of assualt
and violence. This is something women
cannot do for men.
Only by educating ourselves and sharing our own anger, fears and frustrations
with each other, can we touch upon and
let go of the emotional forces that could
and do manifest in the abuse of another
person. Until men come to terms with
and take responsibility for their own
needs individually and collectively, this
situation is going to continue.
It was proposed at the February 5
meeting that a men's support group be
formed at Evergreen to facilitiate these
needs. I personally feel excited about and
support the idea, and extend an invitation to all men to become involved with

your own feelings and with the feelings
of others . This is an opportunity to make
a direct difference.
An organizational meeting is going to
be held on Friday, February 19 at noon
in Library 3518, or call Steve Kant at ext.
6155, or Eric Larsen at 943-9573 .
I truly feel that there are more than
four men at Evergreen willing to put their
asses on the line to make a difference . Are
you?

EPITHET
Dear Mark Gaertner :
We suggest that you review the definit ion of satire in a good dictionary.
If the CP] is, as you say, a forum for
writers, then we assume it would follow
that this forum includes critics.
One parting epithet from the
pia yground: if the tone of your stultified,
anal-retentive letter is all we can expect
from maturity, we will happily remain in
the seventh grade.

MEN
Men of the Evergreen Community ,
On Friday, February 5, a program entitled "What can men do?" wrapped up
Rape Awareness Week at Evergreen.
This men-only gathering was organized
by Steve Kant of the Math Skills Center.
It was well advertised and held in an access ible area (Library 2100).
Four men attended.
For a college with a male enrollment
of 1300 at the main campus alone, I felt
rather concerned at the turnout.
What this has taught me was that men
at Evergreen don't feel that they can
make a difference about sexual assault
and domestic violence. The sad truth
a bout the situation is that predominately. men are the aggressors in sexual
assaults and domestic violence (some
sources indicate that as many as 99 perent
of a II sexual assualts are canied out by

building, room 3109-no later than
March 15. The applications will be
screened by a Selection Committee.
In addition to their general interest for
studies in Japan , the applicants must
have sufficient proficiency in Japanese as
most of the teaching at both universities
is in lecture format in Japanese .
Therefore , language competence will be
a decisive factor in selecting the
candidates.
At Miyazaki the tuition for Evergreen
students for the entire academic year will
be guaranteep from a fund sponsored by
Faculty of Education. It is also possible
for a qualified student to apply for a
Japanese government scholarship bu t
there is no guarantee one may be obtained for more than one student, or at all.
Miyazaki may eventually provide, in addition to the tuition, three months worth
of tutoring (approximately 10 ,000 yen
per month), and the monthly charge for
membership in the national health plan.
Still, students must consider that they
may have to bear all other expenses.
At Kobe, in addition to the tuition, the
university will provide a housing subsidy
to help offset the high cost of living in
Japan. There are no dormitories at Kobe.
Students applying for these exchanges
should be aware that Kobe is essentially
a business school and many curricular
areas are simply not available. There is
a wider range of courses offered at the
Miyazaki Faculty of Education.
Evergreen also has a partnership
agreement with the University of
Washington, wherein up to seven
Evergreen students,
junior level or
above, may be admitted to the Jackson
School of International Studies annual-

Iy , as a special non-matriculated students
for one year only. Students interested in
this program must have completed 75
quarter credits at Evergreen before beginning their studies at the Jackson School.
They will have to pay the appropriate tuition fees levied by the University of
Washington, and will be admitted subject to the approval of the Director of Admissions and Records at the University
of Washington and the Jackson School of
I nternational Studies. Students wishing
to continue at the University of
Washington beyond one year must apply to the UW as matriculated students
and meet all academic requirements for
such status.
The University of Washington agrees
to accept Evergreen courses as prerequisitesfor courses at the UW, where such
requirements are stated in its catalogue.
Likewise, Evergreen will accept courses
taken at the UW as contributing to the
student's graduation requirements .
Interested eligible students are invited
to submit their letter of intent, accompanied by their portfolio, to the Director
of the Language and Culture Center by
April 1, 1988. Please specify in your letter your areas of interest , what courses
you intend to take, and how your studies
at the Jackson School will contribute to
your overall academic or career goals .

Bloopers Across CaDlpus

about the high-quality graffiti in campus

group.
M 'a rtinson, the featured guest speaker,
gave an outline of his personal history .
In his teens, he was a student athlete,
training in most sports including skiing .
At twenty. a Vietnamese landmine blew
both his legs off. For two years his selfesteem deteriorated. Finally, Martinson
said he realized that only through a personal attitude change could his life start
making sense again.
It is at this point that Martinson's
remarkable sports career begins.
Selected highlights of his athletic ability
are: winning the Boston Marathon's
wheelchair division; participant in the
Fairbanks to Anchorage marathon lasting
33 hours, with an average speed of 11
miles/hour; and U.S. 1984 Olympic team
athlete in the new 15,000 meter
wheelchair race.
Martinson recently retired from Olympic events to make more time for family
and his business, Magic in Motion
(MIM) based in Puyallup. MIM is a
maker of wheelchairs. The chairs are

designed to be "excellent for sports and
yet lightweight for easy pushing and
handling in everyday use , " he said . Th e
chairs are used in several sports including: long distance running, basketball and tennis .
Martinson believes sports , particula rly snow skiing, offers an opportunity for
the able-bodied to see the challenged in
action . This explains why MIM ' s latest
product is a chair-monoski. It's an amazing piece of design: light enough for
chairIifts, yet strong and safe enough to
negotiate the steepest Crystal Mountain
has to offer.
Students with Challenges is actively
trying to encourage students with and
without challenges to participate in its efforts to change the Evergreen community's attitude to realizing everyone 'can
reach their dreams.
Danny Deardorff, physically challenged songwriter and performer from Seattle, will give a concert and lecture at 8:00
pm on March 25 in the Evergreen
Library.

Chris Smith Shares His Joy
by Darrel Riley
STUDENT: Christopher Joseph Smith
HOMETOWN: Seattle, WA
STATUS: Senior
PROGRAM: Native American Studies
Program
The quarter is almost over, or at least
it feels that way . If you are as obsessed
with doing homework as I've had to be
you may have forgotten why these
strange articles titled 'Interviews' keep
appearing in the paper. I'm writing to introduce members of the Evergreen community. I know some ofya'all are reading
them because I hear from you. But the
C PJ staff is beginning to wonder if these
articles are going out into a vacuum. So
let's here it, are you reading these interviews? Write to the CPJ and say so .

OLYMPIA
FILM
SOCIETY

I had a strong sense of deja vu when
I talked to this week's interviewee, Chris
Smith. It was as though I had met him
before. Then it occurred to me that we
had met before, at a party in Seattle. The
only bit of our party conversation which
has lingered in my mind is that we both
liked J ermaine Jackson, but the memory
of the conversation was enough to make
me feel like a geek for not having
remembered him earlier. What makes
my forgetfulness more embarrassing is
that his brother performs in a band with
my best friend, and Chris plays guitar
with two people I went to high school
with. Oh well, I guess it just shows that
I'm not perfect.
Chris Smith is a born again Christian,
and one of the members of the Evergreen
Students for Christ. He also has morn-

ing prayers with Christian Evergreen
students. Although he stressed the
positive attitudes most people have
toward his beliefs, he also noted some
discrimination. For instance, last week
devil worship symbols, a pentagram and
the numbers 666 were burned into the
ceiling of their morning prayer place .
"Someone has been defacing the
Evergreen Students for Christ posters,"
Chris explained . "They put shark teeth
on the little fish. It feels to me like an indirect personal attack. It's upsetting
because I'm not a shark and anyone who
knows me can tell you that.
"It's hard to see your faith constantly
degraded in the classroom," he added.
"There are atrocious people who call
themselves Christians, and I make no exucses for them. But that's not me, I have

a different belief system . The media
represents mostly the negative things
about Christianity , but it's really a
positive thing. It has made a tremendous
difference in my life. When I was a
teenager I was an alcoholic, and I was
very depressed because I didn't think I
had a future. Christianity isn't oppressive, it's liberating. I have joy now.
Today 1 have meaning in my life , and a
future.
"U ntil I was a freshman in college 1
always found myself outside of the educational norms . My freshman year 1 spent
at Saint Martin's College, and I was driving a van over to Evergreen three times
a week to use the resources here, the
library and the swimming pool. As I was
walking across the campus I realized that
I could be happy here. I was ready to try
an alternative form of education because
although I was finally doing well in school
I knew I could do better. The standard
educational system didn't fit my needs
and I thought Evergreen could. Coming
here has confirmed that thinking, and it's
been an eye-opening experience.
"There are a lot of strong individuals
here; which has pluses and minuses but

I've enjoyed it a lot. There is a sense in
which they act. You are free to live the
way you want, yet often there are
guidelines imposed on what those
freedoms are . It's a double standard, they
say one thing and do another.
"Evergreen students concern me when
they talk in sexist or racist ways, lik e
'White Man's Society.' Assum in g there
is only one way to act and think implies
racism and sexism. But that is the
Western Civilization's way to do things,
not just this school. We all need to work
at understanding multi-cultural perspectives. Education isa life long commit ment , a two way street between yourself
and the environment you are interrelating with.
"I believe one of the most important
things a person can do is to live according to their own integrity. Integrity
means being honest and true in your relationships between your environment,
people, and the unknown. I want to be
remembered as a person who lived according to my integrity, as well as being a
compassionate and sensitive person.
"One of the many positive things
that's happer-ed at Evergreen is that I've

been able to explore my music . I have a
friend in Seattle, Ned Beebe, who has
been very supportive of me both as a
friend and as a musician and I don't
think we would have become as close if
I hadn't come to Evergreen and had a
chance to explore my music.:.
"I don't know exactly what my future
will be, but I hope it isn't what I see it
as. If we limit ourselves to our visions we
will miss out on a lot. I would like it if
my music could travel the world, and express the joy I feel. My music is all about
overcoming strife and difficulties, and finding release . I'm not special, that release
is there for anyone who accepts it.
" I love music, playing it, listening to
it. I usually spend a couple of hours playing, sometimes just being silly, sometimes
jamming with people. I also like the
technical aspects of music, being ,a
guinea pig in the recording studio and
hearing what it sounds like when a song
is done.
"I would like to leave this school knowing that I had a positive impact on the
people 1 came in contact with , and knowing that I had a positive impact on the
people I came in contact with, and knowing they had a po~itive impact on me. 1
would love it if people saw things the way
I do, but I won't impose my beliefs on
anyone. It's up to them to see the value
in my beliefs and to change theirs. I'm
not trying to be egotistical about it, I just
think everyone should be able to share in
the joy that I feel, especially in my relationship to God."
Chris Smith often plays his guitar for
Open Mike and in various stairwe lls
around campus . ' He works at Media
Loan and volunteers his services to the
Indian Center. Chris says that he likes to
talk, but from my observations he is
equally adept at listening.
"I care about people, although tha t
doesn't mean I'll always agree with what
they tell me, " he concluded.
Talking with him is a learning ex erience, one which you should try to
catch while he 's still at Evergreen . You'll
be glad you did.

It's The Year 4868-Virtue, Harmony,
Riches,Longevity
by Jiff Large

Although not too many of us realize it,
February 17 will be the Chinese New
Year , making it the year 4868 in the
Chinese calender.
Each Chinese year is represented by
one of the twe lve animals that make up
its twelve year cycle.
Legend tells how this came about.
Long ago Buddha looked across China
and felt it was in need of reorganization,
so he called all of the animals in the
kingdom to meet at his temple on the
New Year. Only twelve showed and they
came to the temple in the following order:
The Rat, The Ox, The Tiger, The Rabbit, The Dragon, The Snake, The Horse,
The Sheep, The Monkey, The Rooster,
The Dog, and The Boar. To honor the
animals faithfulness to him, Buddha
named a year after each animal in the
order of their arrival. From that time forward the Chinese calender has been
organized by those twelve animals, and
each year contains the symbolic
characteristics of that animal.
This coming year is the year of The
Dragon and is considered to be one of the
most fortunate years.
The Dragon is said to bring forth the

blessings of virtue, riches, harmony and
longevity. Legend tells that during this
year, the Dragon comes forth to a pearl
wrapped in flames, which is the symbol
of the universe. It then consumes the
pearl, thus destroying the universe. But
before you can say' Annihilation' a new
universe springs forward. The Dragon is

then responsible for both beginning and
ending the cycle, which is why the dragon
is symbolic of life and growth. Any child
born during this year is said to be a sign
of good fortune to the entire family. You
should enjoy this coming year because it
will not return again until the year 2000.
The Chinese Calender IS a lunar

calender and is regulated by the phases
of the moon. The New Moon of February
i"7 ~~rked the year's start and the commencement of two weeks of holidays
throughout Asia. During this time
families vis it their relatives and attend
many festivals. At the end of the twoweek period there will be a Full Moon
(March 3rd). On that day, a Festival of
Lights is performed, in which candles are
placed on small boats and are a llowed to
float down the river while poems are
recited about the Moon. It is a tradition
to have a ll of the debts one owes paid ofT
at this time because you do not want to
die ha ving debts. If you do , you will be
resur~ected on earth again :
On Saturday February 20th, the
Olympia Area Ch inese Fellowship will
have a daylong program celeb ratin g the
Chinese New Year at the South Puget
Sound Community Coll ege's Annex
Building. The program will feature
Chinese school children performing traditional songs and dances at 11 :00 am,
followed in the afternoon by sport activities (Kung-Fu, Basketball, etc .). In
the evening, a potluck dinner and
ballroom dance are scheduled. Anyone
interested can attend.

Elder Remetnbers Longest Walk
by Shelia Pullen and Janis Byrd

The drumming and singing of an
honor song set the mood for Chippewa
Nation Elder Dennis Banks' Longest
Walk to-year commemoration speech
last Friday night.
Recalling memories of the 14-state
trek , Banks told how the unified efforts
of many Native Americans across the
country brought enough pressure against
the U.S. Congress to prevent the passage
of a number of bills which, had they been
e nacted , would have severely reduced
their rights. In addition to the successful
blocking of the bills, he said, the walk
gave new focus to many Indian Nations
by drawing them together in a common
goal.
Ten years ago, the organizers of the
3,600- mile walk struggled over the
nature of the walk, Banks said.
"We needed to decide if the walk
would be political or sp iritual? Would it
be a walk of hostility and anger? We
decided that since it was a walk across the
land (Native American land), that we
would walk in a very sacred manner, and
we would be led by songs and the smoking of the pipe. We would walk by the
pipe and by prayers."

"We were hungry on some days, and
cold on some days, " Banks remembered,
explaining that the sacrific es were worthwhile because it brought p eople
together who hadn 't realized the many
problems and traditions they held in
common .
Sadly, Banks said, "there have been
things that have passed (legislation) since
then, and federal opinions have been
handed down since 1978 that have been
extremely negative ... stripping the Indian
people of our natural resoures. "
But Banks said some of the losses occu rred through neglect.
"It's our fault," he added, "it's our
fault to have not stayed up on the legislation. But it's not our fault it was introduced," Banks said, adding that Native
A mericans need to be watchful.
Concluding his remembrances, Banks
admonished Native Americans to live Indian issues, but not lose sight of the importance of their beliefs, customs and
heritage while working, living and surviving in the present.
Comedian Charlie Hill changed th e
pace from solemn to satirical. His harmonica and vocalization of " Those
Reservation Blues" told th e not so fun-

'I was the only Indian ever to jail archery in high school," commediari
Charlie Hill quips last week before the
receptive crowd at Longest Walk
commemoration.

Banneker)s Almanac a (work of genius)
o

by Ellen Tepper
The achievements of famous black
Americans such as Martin Luther King
J r. and Harriet Tubman are highly
publicized and chronciled in secondary
and elementary school history textbooks.
What
about
the
lesser-known
achievements of black people? Benjamin
Banneker is just one of the numerous
blacks who have contributed to bettering
this country and received only limited
attention .
Born a free man in 1731 in Maryland,
Be njamin Banneker worked on his family 's tabacco farm . At the age of twelve
he began a ttending school. While other
c hildren would play , Banneker, an
unusally bright student , studied. His
und ersta ndin g o f math ematics and his
12 und y ing hun ge r for knowledge led him

to build the first chiming clock In the
American colonies . He became well
known as a mathematician and
mechanic; and he was often sought to
solve problems or to give advice. Also,
he helped build cannons for the American
Revolution.
After the war, at his neighbor's suggestion, Banneker began to compile information for an almanac. While working on this almanac, he was selected to
serve on the government commission to
define boundaries and layout the streets
for the nation's capital.
Bannaker quickly became one of the
two or three surveyors who worked close, ly with the chief engineer of the project,
Mr. L'Efant . Hearing his request for
more funds had been refused by th e
Commissioners , L ' Enfant, in a fit of

rage, returned to France, taking the plans
for the new capital with him . S~cretary
of State Thomas Jefferson, then called a
meeting stating that the commission had
to start plans for the city all over again .
At this point Banneker spoke up claiming that although L'Efant left with the
written plans, he (Banneker) had
memorized the details and would be able
to finish them within three days.
True to his word, Banneker returned
on time-with the plans and construction
of Washington D.C. began. Banneker
then completed his almanac, which was
sent to the Academy of Sciences in Paris;
it was cited as a work of genius by James
McHenry who wrote the introduction . In
1806 Banneker died , but his
ac hieve ments and contributions to this
countr y li ve o n .

ny facts of relocation, experimentation
and extermination. With wit and humor,
Hill poked fun at the peculiarity of
him self, a Native American, growing up
in a white man's world . Through one-line
jokes he cited examples of the conflict between his tribal traditions and Catholic
schooling.
"Suppose we're on a trip," Max Gail
said, changing the evening's tempo one
more time. "We're on a trip of hopes and
dreams ... where the door of luck swings
both ways and it leads away from here
and now.
"On the stairs, and on the landing, the
view from which is just outstanding .. .
(suddenly) ... cut loose from any place
below ... it occurs to you and me there's
not a song we can't sing ... "
As Gail recited his lengthy poem , he
invited people to put away the "red robe
of power ," because it looks like the color
"fool" and to fold up the comforter "we
call guilt," and realize that expectations
are often just "ropes and chains."
Instead, he said, put on the gift of trust
which brinlls "comfort to the wp.arp.r ." 13

Trio Jams With Humor
by Sheilil Pulltn

The Seattle-based a cappella trio W e
Three will perform at 8:00 pm February
20 in the Recital Hall. We Three-Kim
Scanlon, Judith Johnson and Sara
Favret-have performed together since
1980. All three women were attending
Evergreen when they met and formed We
Three . They irreverently use jazz/pop
styling as a toy, tool and a weapon. Their
political insight is to the point, but infused with enough humor that you don't feel
the knife slide in. All three write songs, .
and their repertoire is 100 percent
original .
"Even if you aren't witty, neurotic,

ironic or politically aware , you can appreciate We Three for the sheer power of
their vocals . It ' s that three-part harmony
between lyrics, dramatic presence , and
unaccompanied voices that beats the
band," The Rocket reviewer Becky Brown
said .
Advance tickets for this event are on
sale now in Evergreen ' s bookstore and
Positively 4th Street Records (208 W.
4th). Tickets are $6.50 for general admission and $4.50 for students, seniors and
KAOS-FM radio subscribers. Free
childcare is provided . For reservations
and further information call 866-6833 .

William Rosco, an ethno-historian,
will speak about the occurence of more
than two genders within Nativ e
American cultures from 3:00 to 4:30 pm
February 22, in Evergreen's Lecture Hall
Five. The presentation includes a slide
show , mostly taken of the Zuni tribe in
the Pueblo area of New Mexico.
Some Native American cultures iden tify third, fourth and fifth genders; according to Terry Tafoya, a faculty member
sponsoring the lecture . The closest word
the English language has to describe these
additional genders is "transexual ," but
the word far from accurately depicts the
Native American cultural phenomenon.
Rosco is a freelance historian who has
written several articles in the area of
ethno-history . He edited a book on Gay
and Lesbian Native American literature
that will be published by Saint Martin
Press this spring.
The talk is free and open to the public .

As I am writin g this I am listening to
the soundtrack to the latest Vietna m pic,

Hollywood knows rock and roll can sell
a picture. It 's imma terial if the picture
is any good or not. The mov ies men tion-

ed a bove , in my opmlOn, are all very
good , but without rock and roll, most of
them could have been about any war.
The import aspect of Vietnam that
Hollywood seems to ignore, the aspect
that separates Vietnam from all the
" Good" wars , is the basic fact that the
Unit ed States Government had no
business being in Vietnam. I could go into the many reasons why "We"
shouldn't have been there, but this is a
media column not a history column.
The fact is, Hollywood knows that if
a film has a soundtrack loaded with
popular songs, whether they be "Closet
Classics" or recorded specifically for the
soundtrack album, they can get the
public, mainly young adults, to shell out
hard earned cash at least during the first
week of release .
If the music doesn't get them, then
Hollywood gets young studs who can.
Oliver Stone only had Charlie Sheen to
lure the young ladies and their gun crazy
boy friends to the local multiplex . Brian
D e Palma is packing ultimate firepower
in the forms of Michael J. Fox and Sean

William Dafoe is also starring in another
Vietnam fIlm, this time teaming up with
Gregory Hines in a "police action "
drama. The story is about two army cops
investigating the mysterious murders of
young Vietnamese prostitutes by a killer
whom they suspect is a top American
general . Sounds suspiciously like Night
of the Generals, a second world war
film starring Omar Sharif as a young
German army cop investigatmg a ~t:, lC~
of mysterious murders of young Parisian
prostitutes by a killer whom he suspects
is a top Nazi general . Sound familiar,
huh?
I sometimes think the invasion of
Grenada was planned by. Hollywood
moguls so they can sell their backlog of
disco music they bought while Saturday
Night Fever was still popular. How else can
you explain a piece of crap like Red Dawn.)
I wonder if Reagan has any stock in the

By a strange coincidence, while
Evergreen was holding its Democracy and

videos, radio programs, lectures, and
newspaper articles), South Puget Sound
Community College was holding Spy
Week (which largely consisted of showing
James Bond movies).

our government is all about ... At the time the
Constitution was written, ma'!)' of the people
at the convention were talking about the 'crisis

framers wanted to have some control over
economic affairs, so they had to write a constitu tion that insured that those economic affairs remained in the hands of the private people. What
do you think Shay's rebellion was all aboue

In the book called The Crisis of Democracy
they identify the constituencies. They say it 's the

the white ethnic people, and the women. They've
gotten too involved. They then say in order to
have a " democracy }} we need to maintain
apathy. We have to have a degree of
marginalization and these people need to be put
back into their place. And that's what's going
on today, whether it 's the Evergreen Social Contact or the FBI gearing up another campaign
to man itor citizens. }}

speaker to discuss relevant issues on a live
radio broadcast from the CAB's second
floor "pit." Evergreen faculty Gerry
Fresia was also invited .
Following are excerpts from the
90-minute radio forum.

Also stirring up the debate was Gerry
Fresia, an Evergreen guest faculty
member presently teaching Political
Economy and Social Change. Fresia was a
Captain in U .S. Air Force Intelligence
from 1971 to 1974 . In 1982 he earned a
Ph.D in Political Science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He
strongly opposes the adoption of the
Master Plan and abolishing the
Evergreen Social Contract . He is also
sponsoring a cluster constract studying
the history of the CIA. His mo.st recent
book is Toward an American Revolution: The
Constitution and Other IUusions. During the
discussion, Gerry furiously attacked the
U .S. Constitution.
Marks: "We run-round taMing about communism and why communism is important or
not important. It's none of our business in my
opinion. It 's my opinion that we should preserve
the constitution in this country, we have no right
talking about what other countries should and
shouldn 't do. }}
Fresia: "We can't say we're in favor of
the constitution and rights and so on, and then,
these corporations go around the world and have
the right to own other people and other property. I feel we have to move forward. And it's
interesting that some of the most illiterate people in the world are moving far faster and far
more forward than us. We sit around here
pretending the ideals articulated by the elite 200
years ago are fantastic. I don't think they're fantastic. I think they're racist, sexist, and c!assist.
And I'm tired of them. }}

M arks: " To ma'!)' Americans the government is Ronald Reagan and the government is
our representatives. Unfortunately, what we
don 't remember in our ninth grade civics textbooks is actually the government is us, the people. It's co"!>'. ' We the People' is a corny
phrase, but it 's one that we need to inculcate.
The reason why you've probably come across so
much apathy or non-participation in our
democracy is because people haven't experienud
wins. It 's been "!y experience. .. people will contrive to participate if they experienu a win. }}
Fresia: " I am always flabbergasted to the
degree that we believe our ninth grade civics
teachers, that we are government of the people.

Wendy Marks, West Coast Coordinator for the Christic Institute, was
here at Evergreen to give a speech during CIA and Democracy week. She is a
graduate of a "small fascist school" in
Philadelphia, with a degree in political
scie nce. She has been an organizer for the
Christic Institute for over a year.
Christic, an interfaith public law agency, is seeking through a lawsuit to prove
connections between U . S. funded
Nicaraguan contras and drug smuggling.
[See related article last week.] Wendy was
a lso in town to organize Olympia's as yet
unnamed Christic affiliate.

J ames was the third member of the trio
s peaking in the pit. He is a former
aerospace engineer for Pratt and
Whitney, who, for many years, gathered
intelligence on his international travels in
co-operation with the CIA and Air Force
Intelligence. Since the late 70s he has
traveled around the country speaking
about his experiences. His promotional
brochure promises "Your choice of 5
NEW informat ive , slide illustrated,
positive. pro-American SPY programs."
They include: 'Spies, Dupes and the
KGB ,' 'A merica 's Secret Doomsday
Weapons-World War III and You' ;
'The Castro Connect ion,' and ' How the
Russians Spy on the United States.' His
book. Soviel Conqueslfrom Space was a selection of the Conservative Book Club.
Despite his ominous sound ing conservative's credentials, most Greeners found
.J ames an intelligent and enjoyable
speaker, whose political idea~ sometimes
see med fairly liberal or even radical. For
exam ple, he has visited Cuba three times
and speaks highly of it. In his speeches
.J ames tells of the popularity Castro enjoys with the people, how much things
have improved since Baptista, and how
relaxed and free the country seemed, contrary to all his expectations. But having
. l~a rned first hand that the offical U.S.
view of Cuba is false , he nevertheless
completely accepts the Reagan Adm in istration' s rhetoric· that Nicaragua is
a . 'Totalitarian Dungeon," and a grave
threat to the United States as a potential
"Soviet beachhead ."
With a slide James depicts a map with
the distance a Soviet spy plane would
have to travel from Nicaragua to major
U.S. cities , ignoring the fact that the
sate llite photos can collect the same intelligence, and spy planes could just as
easily de part from nearby Cuba.

J ames: "Our intelligence community has Ihe
ability to inlercepl Iidephone calls worldwide,
and obviously there're so many phone calls going on, you can 'I have a person assigned to each
phone. So, whallhey do is they have computers
keyed to certain words. LeI's assume someone 's
lalking 10 somebody else in Nicaragua. Let 's
assume that the word 'Ortega ' comes out, or Ihe
term 'contras '. This would trigger something
in the Nalional Secun·ty Agency where thaI parlicular phone conversation is recorded, and al
some later moment it's then analyzed. Personally
I don 't get upset over that, because you've gal
your spy-in-the-sky satellilies looking dOWII on
us now. }}

opportunities to vote or get involved, rob
us of the right to crit icize.
Marks and Fresia see things difTerentIy. Wendy argues that the power lies with
corporate America, through PAC
money. Gerry rejects the idea that the
people elect the president or choose th e
candidates. He sees presidents proposed
and disposed of by corporate power. Instances such as Watergate and "Contragate" are contrived by elites to get rid
of the public figures who are no longer
useful, and to distract the people from
corporate America's real agenda.

r*******************************************
"I always find it amazing thaI Ihe people who say you have the
right to protest and nobody bothers you are Ihe people who never do.
Ifyou do it you gel an FBI record. A nd ifyou're black you 're likely
10 gel shol. You know in the constitulion they say you can put down
domestic insurrection and one of Ihe justificalions is, and there 's
a few of them, public safety. Well, isn 'I it interesling thaI the Latin
American dealh squads are always coming oul of this office called
the Office of Public Safety. II's very consislent. You can speak as
long as you agree. }}
-GeTTy Fresia

********************************************
Fresia: "We know dun·ng the sixlies and
sevenlies (organizalions} spied on six million
citizens. We know thaI goes on loday ... II was
jusl in The Nation thaI the FBI has a program, I think its called 'Library Awareness Program' or something to that ifject, where the FBI
csks for the namfS of foreigners, either in colleges or cities, and Ihe lisl of books thaI Ihey've

phone, worry ahoul !he KGB . I assume thaI
it's the FBI that's ·lislening in, and so when
I talk about 'pal' I say 'candy' and I 'm sure
all l!! you do too. }}
Marks: "I can't make phone calls anymore
wilhout having beeps interrupt my phone conversations. That's how heavily I am surveilled. It's that frighlening. }}
# # #
There was a yawning cavern
separating the opinions of the panelists
regarding who's ruling our nation today.
In James' view, the nation is ruled by the
President of the United States, and the
President sets the tone or directly controls
all government actions . James insists that
since "we the people" elect the president
ana congress, we are directly responsible
for the successes and failures of government. He suggests that apathy, spurning

Student: " I just don 't want Mr. James
away thinking that most of us here are opposed 10 the things you're saying. Your comrrumsensical approach is, Ilhink, listened to by.J7IIlIIY
of us here. And yet, my message to-yo·u·; position, or who you represenl in your position, is
thaI perhaps ·we need a period of chaotic turmoil, maybe a revolution of a kind in order to
rebalance the people and those people that take
care of us. "
James: "Are you talking about a revolution i,l the United States or elsewhere?}}
Student: "Maybe a revolution of a state
of mind, or in our government as well. }}
# # #
J ames argues we can take control of the
nation by organizing, demonstrating and
making our opinions known. Marks is
naturally dubious (six years of protest
hasn't stopped U.S. aid to the contras),
but hopes to work within the system to
force change. Fresia says the whole
system should be dumped .
All of the speakers professed to believe
we need some sort of revolution. But
most of the audience seemed to feel that
with the c urrent apathy among
Americans, any revolution, whether of
mind or of govern ments , is a long way
away.
