Editor' 5 note:
This week a kind reader writes
. in: "A good article can be read
during a lunch break, or when the
reader has a few extra minutes."
Apparently, our cover stories
have been a bit too bulky for easy
digestion, causing discomfort and
impatience among certain of
- -members of oUF-audience.
As students, we take in hundreds of pages of academic writing
weekly; We (hopefully) read
lengthy articles in journals and
magazines; Who knows how many
hours some of us spend sitting
passively in front of a television or
movie screen?
Perhaps someone ~rill explain to
me why an article concerning a
campus or community issue which
takes half an hour to read is
automatically "too long."
It is rather disheartening to
think that the COOPER POINT
JOURNAL and the information it
contains are of such minimal importance to its readers that its articles must be "skimmable" and
cursory to be read. My personal
thought is that if we do not invest
a certain amount of time
educating ourselves on our immediate political surroundings-our school--then we have absolutely no right to bemoan the
developments which arouse our
anger. Unfortunately, many of
these issues could not be adequately covered from all sides in
two hours worth of reading. .
We are not going to spoon-feed
the children of video culture their
news in bite-sized chunks so that
they may feel they "understand."
If our writing is not always
smooth enough to carry you
without a hitch, then all we can do
is hope that the importance of the
information will command your
interest.

Dear CPJ,
In .reading the great article by Polly
Trout, and others dealing with homosexuality,- X. was p eased ana prouo tflatflie
CPJ had decided to give full coverage to
an issue which many choose to ignore; I
believe that these articles may help some
people to understand what the lives of
homosexuals are like. I cannot thank you
more for telling a "homophobic" society
that gays are people, and that our lives are
not based entirely on sex.
And then I read the poem by Andrew
Schwenk. Who on earth allowed that poem
to be printed as part of such an objective
series of articles? I know that everyone has
the right to submit to the paper, but I feel
that the decision to include it in this
wonderful issue was unthoughtful.
The 'poem' re-instilled hostilities that
were lost in the previous articles. It was
blatant, one-sided trash.
Andrew Schwenk had the opportunity to
write a meaningful piece, something that
might further the understanding of
homosexuality. Instead, he chose to create
wounds.
The
J e_ditorial staff should give more
insight mto choosing the pieces that are
published in the paper. This was not poetry.
It was an irrational and immature statement, which may have succeeded in ruining the whole point of last week's issue.

Dear Editor and CPJ Staff:
I think it is about time you received some
of the credit due you. Despite the letters
to the editor recently published in the CPJ
downgrading the paper and the staff, I personally appreciate the job you are doing.
As a former writer and production staff
member of The Timberline, Grays Harbor
College's newspaper, I know how much
time, effort, and dedication each of you put
into every issue.
Furthermore, I believe the students,
faculty and administration should be happy to have a newspaper and a caring staff
to put it out.
Sincerely,
Cathey McMurry

anything, but I just thought you might like
to hear from someone who likes most of
your stuff. That Snake stuff is for losers.
If you call that poetry, then last week must
have been a pretty bad one for you.
To The Poetry Editor,
Hey! What's goin' on? Look, I really like
your page and all that (maybe someday I'll
sit myself down and write ya something).
And, hey, I'm not exactly the king of
poetry. But let's get some real stuff on
there!
I like most of it (I mean, we all have our
own tastes, ya?), but where do you get off
puttin' shit like "Snake-Like Hands"
anywhere NEAR your page? Look, man,
just because this issue is devoted to gay
stuff, doesn't mean you have to print stuff
like this. This is not poetry. It's not
anything but some pigheaded statement.
Your page is not the place for this crap.
Dear Editor,
First, a word of thanks to all of the people who work so hard to produce and
publish the CPJ, I sincerely appreciate and
enjoy your endeavor.
Second, regarding Andrew Schwenk's
poem, "Not All Men Have Snake-Like
Hands," I would simply like to state that
quote-un-quote "Snake-Like Hands" are
neither a genetic nor sexually oriented
phenomenon.
Thank You,
Christopher Jay
(not related to John Christopher)
P.S. Not all men have snake-like hands, but
unfortunately lots of people do.
CPJ:
I applaud your attempt to "bring out" to
the Evergreen Community the gay and lesbian factions within. The fact that they do .
exist, and need to be acknowledged is apparent, and your effort to have this done
with openness on the part of the heterosexual community is encouraging.
However, I take strong issue with what
seems to be an attempt on your part--a
desire-"to exacerbate the problem you so
clearly defined in your opening paragraph:
"WbeJl heterosexuals see the word
'homosexual,' all they see is three letters
in the middle: S-E-X, ... "
To put a picture of what the reader has
to assume is a gay couple in an intimate embrace is only going to perpetuate that which
you are trying to end. Certainly homosexual couples engage in more than just intimacy; do they not, perhaps, cook together,
study together, work, play, laugh and cry
together?
It is common knowledge that heterosexual couples participate in more than just intimacy. Suppose you do an article on the
heterosexual community; would you place
a similar picture on your cover?
Perhaps, you say, it was an attempt to
catch people's eyes.
I question your judgement when dealing
with a volatile issue such as this.
Sincerely,
Kate Parker
Letter to the Editor,
I must say, the CPJ is quite wonderful.
Last week's "scoop" on homosexuality was
interesting, and it helped me to sort out
some of my own ideas of what homosexuality is.
I'm not here to criticize, but something
ought to be done about the length of Polly
Trout's articles. When people sit down to
read the paper, they probably have no time,
nor the desire, to read an article of epic proportions. A good article can be read during
a lunch break, or when the reader has a few
extra minutes.
I can recall quite a few articles by Polly
Trout, especially last year's novel on
daycare, which took me more than an hour
to get through. What's worse is that what
is said in these literary monuments is
drawn out, and never really hits "the
point."
Please, Polly, I know you have undergone
a lot of criticism recently, but I also get the
feeling that maybe you aren't listening to it.
The best thing would be for you to talk
to a writing teacher. You'd be surprised
how much more vibrant your stories could
become!
With no anger,
Libby Greene

November usually means election time and this year is no exception. While there is no Presidential race to highlight national
issues, there are numerous state and local elections on the ballot
this November 4. Washington State voters have the opportunity
to help decide which party will control the U -8_ Senate for the
next two years and decide what kind of legislature Governor Booth
Gardner will have for the remainder of his tenn. A number of local
county offices are on the ballot, as well as some important ballot
proposals like State Referendum 40 on the Hanford dumpsite and
Thurston County Proposition 1, which addresses the fonnation
of a group to propose changes in county government.
This article touches on the campaigns and issues in this election_ It is a compilation of infonnation from candidates' forums,
interviews, campaign literature, the voters' guide and other
sources_ The Washington primary election has all candidates run
OJnfie saine ballot, thus giving a clear indication of their relative
voting strength, especially if there are few candidates in the
primary.
This article will help provide readers with a better perspective
on the issues related to the greater Olympia area.
NATIONAL ELECTIONS
U.S. Senate
Brock Adams (D) Slade Gorton (R)
This race has received the most attention, not only because it
is the most powerful office on the ballot, but because it is closely
contested. Even someone who goes out of their way to avoid
politics has heard something about this race. It has also attracted
national attention, because it is viewed as one of the possible seats
the Democratic party could capture in their goal of taking control
of the Senate.
A few months ago, few would have described the race in this
manner. During the fIrst tenn, Senator Gorton appeared to be
safely ahead. he had a scandal-free tenure and, although he has
been a fairly consistent Reagan supporter, (Gorton backed Reagan
81% of the time from 1981 to 1985), Gorton has the image of being
an independent-minded moderate. Because of this, Gorton ran the
classic incumbent's campaign, ignoring his opponent and exhorting his effectiveness.
But the surprisingly close primary forced Gorton to get off his
pedestal and debate the issues. The two that have come to the
forefront are the possible location of a nuclear waste repository
at Hanford and the Strategic Defense Initiative. Adams hammered
Gorton on the senator's lack of attention to the nuclear waste site
selection process. Realizing the voters' interest in the issue, Gorton became a born-again anti-Hanford activist. On SDI, Gorton
has doggedly supported the President's costly dream, as he
believes it is a necessary arms control bargaining chip while Adams
has deemed it wasteful.
Gorton's post-primary strategy has been unusual. Rather than
pumping his own legitimate achievements (Gorton has been a
.. leader in attempts to reduce the federal budget deficit), he has
chosen to try to tear down Adams with negative advertising. A
good example was provided in the October 23 edition of Olympia
- News 52, when both campaigns were_allotecisp.acclor statement§.
Adams' statement was entirely devoted to his background and
stands on issues such as support of anns control and environmental protection. Gorton's made a short reference to the senator,
but fully two-thirds was devoted to bashing Adams as a foreign
agent and extreme liberal.
Sources of campaign contributions give some indication of where
the candidates stand. Gorton, who has raised almost a million more
dollars than Adams, has received large sums of money from banking, timber, military contracting and medical industries. Adams
has received most, but not all, the union donations and significant
support from education and environmental groups.
There is another option on the ballot: Socialist Workers candidate
Jill Fein. Fein has a progressive list of issue positions but little
chance of winning. In a close race between Adams and Gorton,
she could tip the race to Gorton since she is far more likely to draw
votes away from Adams.
At this point the campaign could go either way. President
Reagan visits Spokane in Gorton's behalf tomorrow, and there
is speculation that he might pull a last minute surprise, like altering the nuclear dump site selection process and giving credit to
Gorton. Whether the voters fall for it remains to be seen.
U.S. Congress
Don Bonker (D)
Joe Hling (R)
Congressman Bonker is seeking his seventh tenn. Given his past
'electoral successes and current popularity, he seems likely to get
it. Illing is making his first run for political office, which was clear
at the October 16 League of Women Voters forum, when he literally had to read everything he was saying.
It is the classic contest between a liberal Democrat and a conservative Republican. Bonker is flatly opposed to the Reagan
foreign policy, especially in Central America. he was one of the
few to denounce the 1983 American invasion of Grenada. Illing inforeign policy, especially in Central America. He was one o( the
America. Illing has tried to make Bonker's support of free trade
an issue, claiming it has cost Southwest Washington jobs. Ironically, Bonker's position, that the U.S. needs to be more competitive
in world markets, is much closer to President Reagan's position_
The third congressional district has enjoyed few of the benefIts
the Heconomic recovery" of the past four years, thus, the
Republican message is not very well received in the area. Illing
is relatively young at age 43, and may- well seek another office
in the future, but his chances of unseating the popular Bonker are
somewhere between slim and none.

Southwest Thurston County and Lewis County
Position 2
Jennifer Belcher (D)
Position 1
Bev Butters (D)
Belcher, who has served in the legislature since 1983, is decidedly
liberal on the issues. She favors sweeping tax reform and is a
strong advocate for women's rights.
Gustafson could not quite be characterized as a member of the
"New Right;" nevertheless, he sharply criticizes Belcher's support of teen health clinics at high schools. He says that these clinics
take responsibility away from families in the questions of teen
pregnancy.
Neil Admondson (R)
This seat is open and the race features a moderate Democrat
versus a very conservative RepUblican. Butters, Mayor of Chehalis
and a Centralia College administrator, wants to refonn the
Business and Occupation Tax, which she feels hits small business
~ har~. S~e feels economic growth can be enhanced by exemptmg caPItal mvestment from taxation. She also expresses support
from water quality control, but feels the costs should not be borne
solely by business.
Admondson takes issue positions which the Moral Majority
would be pleased with. He opposee state-funded abortions for poor
women, opposes laws barring discrimination against homosexuals,
and opposes requiring state certification of private schools. His
literature stresses other concerns, but he laid out his positions
on those social issues in a questionnaire from aNew Right group.
The other three 20th district candidates declined to answer the
questionnaire because they viewed it full of loaded questions.
Position 2
Barbara Holm (D)
Curt Pearce (R)
Two articulate moderates face off in this race. Both Holm and
Pearce have ranches; both are also involved in education and
?usiness. They do differ on legislative priorities, as Holm wants
mcreased spending and re-allocating resources within existing
revenues, even if it means some priorities suffer in the meantime.
He expects economic growth will bring in more revenue in the
future.
. On other ~ssues, Holm is an advocate for laws to protect victims of phYSIcal abuse and helping seruor citizens. Pearce has been
careful to distance himself from the extreme right.
Position 1
Jolene Unsoeld (D)
Fred Gustafson (R)
Referendum 40
The federal government's search for a nuclear waste repository
has given this election its most emotionally charged issue. If passed, Referendum 40 would encourage the state government to
challenge the selection process. Since this is already happening,
passage would have little practical impact, but a large YES vote
would defmitely "send them a message."
Washington voters can counter the thoughts of some back east,
like White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan, who believes the
dumpsite is actually desired here. It is possible that the Tri-Cities
area, which is totally dependent on the Hanford site, may buck
the tide of the rest of the state.
Referendum 40 is only the beginning of what will likely be a
long battle. The Department of Energy -- originally created to encourage fuel conservation in the 1970's -- has become the propoganda pusher for nuclear power under President Reagan. The DOE
is still going to push for a repository here. They have a few supporters who have mounted a campaign against the referendum.
But their arguments rest on the assumption that the site selection process is being conducted in a responsible manner, a point
most voters probably won't buy given all the bad publicity about
Hanford.
Thurston County
22nd District
Thurston County
A. Kent Jaussi (R)
WASHINGTON STATE ELECTIONS
The '87 session of the Washington State legislature will be faced
with designing ~he biennial budget and addressing calls for tax
refonn and increased support for education. Thurston County encompasses the entire 22nd Legislative District and part of the 20th
District. Neither of the Senate seats are up for election but a!L
the House seats are. This year, four Democratic women candidates
spend all the money they are authorized. According to Jaussi, the

on business. However, none of the other legislative candidates endorsed the idea in an October 21 forum.
Unsoeld, who is seeking her second tenn, is an energetic and
issue-oriented legislator. She has been a staunch advocate for
cleaning up Puget Sound and opposing the designation of Hanford as nuclear waste dumpsite.
JaU8S~, who ran well behind Unsoeld in the primary, claims he
has the Ideal solution to the alleged state spending problem. Jaussi
attacks zero-based budgeting, claiming that it forces agencies to
Unlike the federal and state elected offices, county offices, with
the exception of County Commissioner, are administrative in
nature. The elections generally revolve around the personal
background and qualifications of the candidates rather than issues.
Thus they are often less likely to be contested if there is an incumbent seeking re-election.
Elections for Thurston County offices were looking to be hohum affairs as the candidates' filing deadline approached in early
August. Seven of the eight partisan offices on the ballot featured
only one candidate. Six of those seven candidates were Democrats,

.Plan stieepclogs us
into 21 st century
In these days of high technology, a sheepdog is still the best way to move sheep from
one field to another. In the eyes of Provost
Patrick Hill, "sheepdogging" is the best
way for the new Strategic Planning Council to move Evergreen into the 21st
century.
On Wednesday, October 15, members of
last year's Strategic Planning Council met
to discuss the role of this year's council.
The meeting was not officially announc-

DRONE: a governance proposal ·
Dogs and Security face off
Battle lines are being drawn between dog
owners and Campus Security following a
crackdown on dogs that are allowed to run
free on campus. The most recent development, according to Steve Stone, Security
aide, occured when a dog owner broke into
a kennel to free his dog after it was im-
pho t o by Dominiq ue Se pser
pounded by Security.
According to Sergeant Larry Savage,
Campus Security, the school policy allows
dogs on campus only when on a leash and
under the control of their owners. Tying
dogs up on campus or allowing them to run
free is not allowed.
"People don't realize that we are getting
complaints; that these dogs are bothering
and sometimes endangering people," said
Larry, "Just recently we had a man break
both of his hands trying to separate his dog
from another in a fight."
Lana Naught, Security Dispatch, agreed,
"All people see are the dogs running around
having fun; they don't have to take the com·
plaints of people that have been harassed
or had their lunch eaten by a dog."
Security has provided kennels, free of
charge, available on a first-come, first·
served basis, for dog owners that cannot
leave their animals at home. "This protects
the dog from other dogs, from being stolen
or running away," said Larry.
Larry stated that the dog policy affected
the entire Evergreen Community, "I think
the dog owners are a minority." He said,
"I just bet that if you took a poll, many people would tell you to keep them penned up
or just keep them home."
-- Bob Allen
A new system for student communication
and governance has been proposed by student Marc Levine and the SCC, with input
from Cheryl Cowan. Students would participate in a forum called DRONE; or
Direct Responsiveness on News and
Events.
DRONE is a system where programs, or
student groups, would select a person to act
as a reporter, and the reporters would
gather information for a weekly exchange.
The reporters would share any information they chose, as well as messages from
other students. The information will be
typed and copies will be given to each
reporter. "Information exchange is the
basis of community," Marc says.
DRONE could be used to pass along information about administrative decisions,
actions and desires; academic news and opportunities; information about campus
groups and events; updates on issues of concern; or anything else a student felt was
necessary to share with all.
Some students would like to see each program spend 10 minutes a week reporting
DRONE's findings. Some students and
faculty, however, feel that class time is for
academics only, and that governance should
not encroach.
"DRONE is a system where there is no
power except to communicate, and this
belongs to all of us. By everyone knowing
what is going on, we gain the power to affect things, through petitions, polls, or
demonstrations. Knowledge is power. And,
if there is nothing important happening on
a particular week, we won't have to get
bogged down in endless discussion, while
having the ability to respond quickly to any
major issues," reads DRONE's proposal.
Marc believes that DRONE's philosohy
could lead to a revolutionary process.
"Rather than fostering debate, hostility, or
confrontation, DRONE fosters listening, reassessing, and respect. We are sharing information rather than squabbling over
pow~r," he sa~. _
_._. ____
There will be an informational meeting on
Wednesday, Nov. 5, at 12:30 p.m. in the
Library Lobby. To learn more about
DRONE, contact the SCC at x6008.

pulls through
After five months of anxiety, students at
the Vancouver campus have breathed a collective sigh of relief now that they have
been assured that Evergreen has no immediate plans to abandon its upper division
program in the area.
The alarm sounded last April when the
flrst draft of the Strategic Planning Council's proposal called for a re-evaluation of
•
off-campus programs. Students and alumni in Vancouver were galvanized into action, determined to fight for the life of the
unique liberal arts program Evergreen pro.vides to their community.
A student liason committee was formed
and met weekly during Spring Quarter.
"We wanted to notify students, alumni
and key citizens in the community about the
threat of closure," said Tiffany Rubert, one
of the vocal members of the group.
About a dozen students began circulating
petitions and mounted a letter-writing campaign to legislative representatives and
members of the Evergreen staff and the
Board of Trustees.
Rubert traveled to the August 13 Board
of Trustess meeting and presented petitions with 436 signatures from students,
alumni and community members.
The fmal Strategic Plan adopted by the
board no longer cans for the closure of the
Vancouver campus. Instead, it pledges to
playa role in meeting the educational needs
of the area. In addition, the board approved a budget that would increase enrollment
from 84 to 120 FTE students.
"Even with a 40 percent increase we'll
still be turning people aw~" said Bill
Bruner, acting director of Evergreen's
Vancouver campus. "We now have more
applications in the works than we'll be able
to accept."
Bruner attributes this increased interest
in Evergreen to higher visibility in the community since the branch moved to its new
building last January. The imposing brick
structure on the Clark College campus is
an improvement over the cramped quarters
in one of the historical buildings on Officer's
Row, where Evergreen students studied
since 1978. - ..
"Now we have visibility in the commuruty ·and the commitment feels a lot more permanent than it did before," Bruner said.
"Before, if people found us at all it seemd
like a fly-by-night operation."
When President Joseph Olander spoke at
The Forum at Clark College on October 2,
he reafflrmed that the Vancouver program
is consistent with the mission of Evergreen.
Olander said he had received numerous letters and petitions from students and alumni of the Vancouver branch, but he wants
to hear more from the community.
"It's up to you to let your legislators
know what kind of a future you would like

Since Clark County lacks a four-year college, its higher education needs are currently met by the Joint Center for Education,
which includes Clark Community College,
Evergre~n, and Washington State University. Evergreen provides upper division
courses leading to bachelor's degrees in
humanities, health and human services, and
business. Washington State University conducts eight programs leading to master's
degrees in education, engineering, business
administration, and computer science.

KAOS pockets $6500
The results are in from the Annual KAOS
membership drive, the FM-community
radio station located on campus, and the big
winner is you -- the community.
This year's drive netted 281 pledges,
which translates into $6566, nearly a 20%
increase over last year's drive. "1-waSlook-ing for a quantum leap and we got it," said
Michael Huntsberger, station general

scheduled to air in April.
The membership drive began slowly, but
the final two days of the drive, Saturday,
October 18, and Sunday, October 19,
.husine.ss !licked up. "Sunday our phones
were ringing like crazy," said Micha.el.
The membership drive also serves to
draw together the staff at the station. "We
get a stronger sense of purpose," he said.
With 75 renewal notices due to go out, the
final pledge total should rise. Michael
stressed that people wanting to pledge still
may do so by calling the station at 866-6822
or stopping by KAOS located in the CAB
building. You can still receive a KAOS
subscriber card with a $25 pledge that affords you a 10 percent discount at participating businesses, conceivably saving
you the original subscriber fee and more.
All pledges are tax deductible.

Environmental

Co-Op Ed wants students to be aware of
opportunities working with the Environmental Intern Program. This is a nationwide, non-profit organization designed
to help its sponsors complete projects with
- limite-a tim-e;nronl:!y-or-staff. RIp·also-gives
many students the opportunity to get
hands-on training in their fields of interest.
All projects deal with some form of environmental academic discipline, such as
Botany, Chemical Engineering, or Public
Health and Ecology. EIP is organized in the
Northeast, Great Lakes, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, and the Northwest. A representative from the Northwest branch will be
at Evergreen in November to conduct interviews. Students can be placed in any
region they wish.
If you are interested in either of these internships, Co-Op Ed will be holding open
hours each Wednesday and Thursday from
1 to 3 p.m., each week through December

Dana Lyons tours
with fake waste
There's what at the Co-op? A truck carrying nuclear waste? It's got to be fake ...
Fortunately, it was. But Dana Lyons,
writer of the song "Our State is a Dumpsite" said he was "not joking" when he
drove a flatbed truck with a mock cask of
radioactive waste into the parking lot of the
Olympia Food Co-op on Saturday. Dana
was met by a group of WashPIRG
volunteers and the press as they stopped
here in Olympia on the fmal leg of the
Radioactive Waste Tour. The tour, sponsored by WashPIRG, visited over 20 cities
in 10 days in support of Referendum 40.
The tour symbolized the fact that, "for the
next 20 years, 17 truckloads of this stuff a
day will be brought to Hanford if it is
chosen as the dump," said Dana. The
presence of this publicity stunt energized
the group of volunteers who then went out
and distributed close to 1,000 pieces of
"YES on 40" literature door-to-door in
Olympia!"
On Sunday, October 26, Dana and the
truck led a caravan of about 75 people in
cars and a school bus to the "Hands United
Across the Columbia" event. The event, cosponsored by WashPIRG, the Hanford
Oversight Committee, and many other environmental groups, assembled nearly 1,000
people on the 1-5 bridge that cross~s the
Columia River. The purpose: to join handin-hand from Washington to Oregon in
honor of the Columbia River and its
freedom from future nuclear contamination.
The. event- was-a-{lomplete- sueces8-withevery politician "and their brothers and
sisters" in attendance including Governor
Gardner, Brock Adams, Slade Gorton, Don
Bonker, Senator~ Hatfield and Packwood

"To be out there on the bridge ... ," said
Evergreen student Cindy Davis, "it was an
enormous feeling of solidarity and inspiration for everyone."

An invitation to
classical musicians
The Evergreen Chamber Music Society
invites all classical musicians to band
together to highlight an art that often gets
forgotten here.
"Classical musicians at Evergreen have
always had a difficult time trying to find
people to perform with. Even though this
is a liberal arts college, music is one art that
is very much neglected," . says Anthea
Lawrence, founder of the Evergreen
Chamber Music Society. Anthea, who has
11 years of experience on the viola and six
on various types of recorders, found the
almost total lack of organized music
constraining.

to be any quartets meeting on a regular
basis, it would have to be within some kind
of organizational framework." Mter making an effort to find musicians, Anthea
found many people who were in a similar
position as herself, "i.e., frustrated."
Involvement increased rapidly. An
organizational meeting was held, which produced "out of the woodwork" several musicians with~ experience ranging-from seven
to fifteen years. "This was much more than
I expected," said Lawrence.
Anthea hopes that the Chamber Music
Society will become recognized by the .
students and the administration as a permanent fixture of Evergreen culture. She
has the Expressive Arts faculty behind her,
and all she needs now is students willing
to play. Interested students can go to an
organizational meeting/potluck on Wednesday, October 29 in CAB lOB at 1 p.m. Bring
your ideas and enthusiasm, favorite food,
and any music you think should be played.

Video depicts
effects of war
A twenty minute video fIlmed by the
Seattle to Nicaragua Construction Brigade
in early 1.986 was shown at the Olympia
Library at 8th and Franklin October 27 at
7:30 p.m. Mter the video, there was a
discussion on the numerous questions
raised.
Jean Eberhardt, the only member of the
brigade from the Olympia area, says the
video, entitled We're Going to Build a
Country, focuses primarily on the
Nicaraguan people and the effects the Contra war has had on them. It was filmed during the brigade's project in early 1986 to
help construct a school in south-central
Nicaragua. The group had come in contact
with two people from Salem, Oregon, Jeff
Hart and Barbara Wigginton, who were
working with the Technica organization in
Managua. Hart and Wigginton said that if
the brigade would supply the tapes and pay
a small fee for travel expenses, they would
shoot the video. At least seven hours of raw
footage was produced, which was later
edited in Seattle by Mark Dworkim.
Jean hopes the video will motivate people to think about problems and possible
solutions that face Nicaragua and the whole
o of Central America, such as the hundred
, million dollars that the U.S. government
has recently sent to Contra forces.

More computers
on- th-e- way
The Evergreen State College will be the
recipient of computer equipment valued at
over $300,000 from AT&T Information
Systems.
Part of this year's AT&T University
Donation Program, the award is the largest
of its kind for any college and university in
Washington state. "Evergreen submitted
the highest-rated application in AT&T's
northwest region," says Don Chalmers,
associate director of development for corporations and functions~
The major part of the acquisition is three
3B2 Unix-based minicomputers, two of
which will be installed in Evergreen's new
Microcomputer Center, while the other will
be used in the Computer Applications Lab.
The minicomputers will link microcomputers, which are already in place, to
peripheral devices such as printers and
---'plotters, making it easier for students and
- faculty to use the expandingcapal:>ilitie~s of
the college's computing facilities. The
award also includes 12 intelligent Unix
work stations, ;;tdditional printers, software,
modems, extended warranties, and installation of the system.
"We look forward to a growing partnership and a continuing strong working relationship with AT&T Information Systems,"
said Provost Patrick Hill in accepting the
award. The equipment is scheduled to arrive on campus this quarter, with installation soon to follow.

Innerplace sponsors EastlWest fusion
Sponsored by Innerplace, the musical
group "Space" will be performing in the
Recital Hall Saturday, November 1, ·a t 8
p.m.
An acoustic trio playing all-original
works, Space features a dynamic blend of
East and West: the driving rythms of East
Indian percussion coupled with innovative
forays into Western progressive jazz.
The group is composed of Matthew Horton (six and 12-string guitars), Richard
Warner (soprano sax and flute) and Pete
MacKenzie (tabla).
Matthew Horton has performed as Maria
Muldaur's opening act in the San Francisco
Bay area, and was lauded for his deft
mastery of the 6 and 12-string guitars. He
has won many major competitions in
Nevada, California and Washington and has
played in virtually every major club in the
Reno area, including the MGM Grand, the
Tahoe Hyatt and Sahara Reno. Declared
the Nevada State Journal: "In a constellation of musical stars, Matthew Horton is a
supernova!" "A true 12-string virtuoso,"
stated the San Francisco Chronicle. Horton composes nearly all of the songs performed by Space.
Richard Warner's masterful command of
the flute and soprano sax have resulted in
extensive air play of his first two albums

AI; an American who does not like to
categorize myself as either Republican or
Democrat, rightist or leftist, conservative
or liberal, but rather prefers to evaluate
each issue on its content, relevance, and
relative merit (and likes to believe that
most Americans are rational and intelligent
enough to do the same), I was appalled.
Exactly what, I ask these fellow residents
of my community, are you thanking Mr.
Reagan for? For perpetuating a crisis situation which endangers not only our species,
but every species on the planet? For rejecting what may have been the first viable opportunity to totally eliminate nuclear
weapons from the arsenals of our world?
And, in the process of that rejection, refusing to limit Star Wars testing to the
laboratory for the next 10 years, when it
probably won't be ready for testing for ten
years anyway? For making fools of the
American public (and himself) in the eyes
of the scientific community of the world by
insisting that we spend trillions of dollars
on a technology that probably (most experts
agree) won't work? For funding that
technology by making drastic budget cuts
which allow vast numbers of our fellow
citizens to starve, die, or go without
desperately needed medical care? For
refusing to accept the offer of trust and
cooperation of an entire nation of people
because they are commie8?
What is it in this polarity of nations that
constitutes a threat? We must, in order to
understand wherein lies the threat, be able
to identify the differences. Certainly, there
are many small ones, but one would assume
that a difference engendering mistrust of
such proportion, depth, and allencompassing fervor must be of a major
philosophic nature. The differences seem to
be in the areas of human rights and free
press. Human rights includes the right to
choose, to speak one's mind, to freely
assemble, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, etc. Free press is self-explanatory.
For purposes of brevity, I won't go into
an examination of whether or not our press
is really any "free-er" than theirs. Let's
just talk human rights.
I will limit my discussion to those great
rights which are the basic tenets of the Constitution of this country: the rights of life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I will
ask my fellow residents some questions:
Ho'W does it protect our right to life to
maintain stockpiles of weapollij in our country, and in the USSR, which are capable of
destroying not only all life currently on the
planet, but all potential life? How .does it
also protect that right to offend the government of one of the major nations currently
capable of our literal destruction?
How does is protect our right to liberty
to proceed with such action by consulting
neither the people's representatives, nor
the people themselves, before doing so?
How does it protect our right to pursue
happiness to commit our hard-earned
dollars to pay for a grossly expensive,
ostensibly "defensive" weapon which is
really quite offensive? And, to remove
those same dollars from the mouths of our
elderly, our sick, our children, our 8elves?
I assert that the removal of nuclear
weapOnS from the face of the earth is, in this
day and age, the greatest possible step that
a nation can take to protect human rights.
And, I·assert, the Soviet Union
mak. ing a sincere effort, for whatever reasons,
take a step in that direction - an effort
which our government - no, our leader summarily refused.
So, my fellow residents, when you send
your message of thanks to Ronald Reagan
for his interest in your Rights, please be
certain that my name is not among those
expressing gratitude. 0

Another time, an endeavor, fairly successful, was looked upon as a curse to the

I cannot say to what extent, if any, these
implications may reach; nor have I any idea
if they are of any value for discussion, but
they have profoundly affected my outlook
on TESC and what really lies behind an
education. I am not privy to any of the in-
ternal politics of "TESC House," but I have
seen faculty who believe they must struggle for position rather than allow their own
education to continue. In the arts there may
be a saying that, "It is an inherent trait of

of form with the desire for form." I say,

However, I was allowed my education here

say something. "Something!" There, I said
it. (No, I didn't say "it," I said

a subject of reform for a hundred years. A
review of the voting record of Congress
looks like it is interested in reform when
it truly is not. When one passes a reform
measure one year and the other defeats it
and the procedure is reversed in the following session, it is obvious that Congress is
recalcitrant.
I t is cheaper to have everyone pay a little to support and strengthen democracy.
The alternative that we have now is very
expensive. Our tax money is benefitting a
privileged few. Price controls which the
people supported in polls are ignored. The
bottom line is the trend for fewer and fewer
people to control more wealth. The only
way to improve the situation is for people
to insist on public financing of campaigns.

WoshPIRG bottles "perverse
ballot language"
.Keith Martin Ballet cuts a rug
Vl
by Ron Smithrud
WashPIRG's "Vote Yes on Referendum
40" campaign has only five days to go
before the midterm election on Tuesday,
November 4. The ballot will read "Shall
state officials continue challenges to the
federal selection process for high level
nuclear waste · repositories and shall a
means be provided for voter disapproval of
any Washington site?"
In other words, a "yes" vote means that
you do not want Hanford selected as the nation's first high level nuclear waste dump,
and vice versa. A "yes" vote will direct
state officials to oppose the possible selection of Hanford and will allow citizens to
vote or approve or veto the Hanford site
should it be finally chosen.
WashPIRG is concerned that the voters
will be confused by the "perverse ballot
language" when they get to the polls on
Tuesday. Therefore, WashPIRG will be
continuing its massive voter education effort between now and Tuesday.
On Saturday and Sunday, more
volunteers are needed to distribute leaflets
to voters in the Tacoma area. "It's a Herculean task," says WashPIRG volunteer
Cindy Davis, "but with the proper heart
and effort, we can get the word out to over
80,000 voters in time." "But we can't do it
alone," chipped in another volunteer, Janet
Thoman, "This effort needs the help of
every Greener. Maybe, just maybe, we can
win big on Tuesday." Volunteers will meet
at 1010 N. Rogers, two_houses away from
the Olympia Food Co-op, at 10 a.m. on both
Saturday and Sunday. "Even if you can only spare a couple of hours, it would really
help," said Janet. The effort will continue
in the Olympia area between classes on
Monday.
The campaign will culminate on Tuesday
Exhaustion sets in after
0
when volunteers will "person" as many
polling places as possible, handing out
leaflets to voters before they enter the
privacy of the votmg oooth-. Any student wanting to get involved with
the campaign or the organization, or who
just wants more iI1formation about Hanford
or the referendum, can contact the
WashPIRG office in LIB 3228, or by calling x6058. D

Greenet fights notional boundories
by Charles Calvert
Greenet, a new student run organization,
is concerned with environmental issues and .
is dedicated to the principles of the emerging world-wide movement known as .
Bioregionalism. Since its formation last
winter, Greenet has worked out of the Environmental Resource Center on the third
floor of the CAB building.
The student coordinator for the organization is Rusty Post. Friendly, and relaxed,
Post insists that Greenet be run with a
minimum degree of structure.
At this time there is not rigid charter
~ defining the purposes and goals of the
group, nor is there any official hierarchy of
• positions, such as president, vice president,
etc. "I'm just here to help people accomplish the goals they set for themselves,"
Post says.
This tendency to shy away from any hint
of an authoritarian stance is definitely a
calculated and carefully considered attitude. Greenet is interested in radical environmentalism. The organization wants to
help people break their ties to artificial,
politically oriented power centers and to
replace those ties with the knowledge of
how to live in accord with our natural
surroundings.
Members of the Bioregional Movement
believe that national boundaries serve only to confuse and disorient the people who
live within them. For instance, Western
Washington is obviously very closely linked with a large portion of British Columbia. Both regions have the same weather,
the same plant life, and the same geology.
Because of the similari~ies between the two
regions, bioregionalists question the
usefulness of the national boundary which
runs between them. They are concerned
that such artificial divisions between states
make if difficult for people to live close to
the natural rythms of their environment.
This fall, Greenet is busy with a number
of projects. They have already sponsored
a lecture on Geomancy, given by Feather
Anderson.
People who are interested in Greenet are
welcome to visit the ERC.D

The nationally renowned "Oregon Ballet"
came to Evergreen for one performance
last Saturday evening. Directed by Keith
Martin and hosted by Evergreen Expressions, this dance troupe made very
ambitious use of our Experimental Theater.
Their introduction, basic in form but
steeped in traditional ballet, revealed
graceful movement coupled with j oyful exuberance. Costumed in colorful Bavarian
outfits and striding atop well-balanced toes,
six pairs of dancers appeared.
Presenting a six part "Irish Suite" ,the art
of dance wove a tale of interpersonal relationships. Solo profiles entwined with precision partner pairings. One highlight was a
maneuver whereby one woman dancer rolls
her head over a lad's shoulder and down his
outstretched arm. Using her arched body
circling erect, her head would complete
each turn, revolving ... spinning us through
a doorway in time, a spirit of Womankind
unveiled.
Precious leaps and gazelle-like dexterity
communicated love and reverberated of
personal joy. These impressions rejoiced in
the opportunity to share enthusiasm felt,
but rarely shared, between individuals.
Subtle, blue, backscreen lighting provided an evening sky under which the couples
danced in harmony, echoing the same steps.
Flutes, and a symphony of other instruments climax as a woman is elevated
above the gentle men.
Raising an extended pole, long green and
white ribbons begin to unravel from the
top. Taking up the singular strands, the
women circle; creating Maypole imagery
with its traditional meaning shining therein
(partnering up). Appreciative applause for
bows and plies extended a warm welcome
and approval of this fIrst act.
Acts II and III accentuated a further indepth study of movement. Becoming more
attentive to subtle gesturing and physique
accentuation, the company premiered "The
Lark Ascending." Five men and one
woman (representing the emotional "lark")
took to flight, a breath of freedom. Using
her shoulders and elbows to flutter on
wings, her breathing in moments of quiet
proved how much energy is expended to
perpetuate an agile, everchanging, delicate
dance form.
An elegant piece by six women titled
"Crayola," assumed the roles of color, each
with- its own unique expression. Fashion-ed in French silk gowns, loose but extended.below the knee, and beret-style caps, the
dancers exhibited humor through posture,
manner and gesture.
U sing wooden chairs as their only props,
and without musical accompaniment, the
challenge was met by methodic toes tapping a synchronous beat. A gentle sigh accented their message of duty.
The finale, entitled "Tryptych," was
choreographed and danced by Dennis
Spaight, Pamela Hayes, and the company,
and proved our second show · of the fall '
season a grand success. D .
"(olor of Money:" more remake than sequel
by Jacob Weisman
The Color of Money. Paul Newman, Tom
Cruise, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio,
Helen Shaver, John Turturro. Directed by
Martin Scorcese, from a script by Richard
Price. Adapted from the novel by Walter
Tevis. Rated R.
The Color of Money takes place twentyfive years after its predecessor, The
Hustler. Fast Eddie Felson (Paul Newman)
has become everything he once despised
and fought against in the original film. He
is a liquor distributor who becomes obsessed with taking a young hot-shot pool player
named Vince (Torn Cruise) under his wing
and teaching him to become a hustler.
As a liquor distributor, Fast Eddie has
become very successful since he chose
retirement over the corruption of the mobinfestecl pool halls· at the end of the fIrst
mm. But it is clear that something within
him still burns to play -- something which
is lit when he meets Vince. But there are
problems. Vince feels uncomfortable at the
prospect of throwing games, and he is an
incredible flake. "Can he flake on and flake
off?" Eddie wants to know. "He's gotta
learn to be himself -- but on purpose."
The fIrst half of The C;olor of Money is
charming, well acted, and entertaining. The
chemistry of Newman and Cruise and the
technical directing of Martin Scorsese hold
the mm. Newman and Cruise bounce along
with ease from scene to scene in what
quickly becomes a fast-paced and lighthearted comedy. Meanwhile, Marj'
Elizabeth Mastrantonio, as Vince's more
than street-wise girlfriend, almost steals
the show.
But in the second half, Scorses turns the
mm's intensity way up. The pool hustlers
inevitably break up. Eddie returns to the
game of pool, while Vince continues to
follow in the footsteps of his mentor, clearly loses all his enjoyment of the game, and
becomes a money-making machine. In the
transition we lose any compassion we ever
felt for Vince or Fast Eddie Felson.
Part of the problem is the instability of
the characters in the screenplay. Newman
and Cruise are forced into actions originally calculated for other characters as scenes
are drawn almost randomly from the novel
.by Walter Tevis (author of The Hustler and
The Man Who Fell to Earth). There is little that could have been done to fIx all the
confusion short of throwing out the book entirely; Tevis' novel does not include a
character for Tom Cruise.
Ultimately, the film becomes a victim of
its own packaging. Scorsese t~es to weave
a deeply introspective novel with high-gloss
packaging and ends up with a movie with
a strong split personality.
The film becomes much more of a remake
than a sequel -- with Vince reliving the
lessons that Fast Eddie learned in The
Hustler.
It is not a bad film. But, with an inconclusive ending, ultimately it must be
considered a failure.
The Color of Money is much more upbeat
than The Hustler. Accompanied by scores
of quick cut edits and backed by sweeping
shots that swirl with amazing speed around
smoke infested pool halls, Torn Cruise arrogantly dances and struts, totally
humiliating all takers. Scorsese's direction
has turned what is normally a slowly paced game into a rock video , 0
The art of Chilean resistance
The room is dark . Dim twilight (tIters through a dusty curtain. One can barely pick out the shadowy
shapes of a sofa, chairs, firepla ce . The room seems filled with ethereal shadows. From the corner of one 's
by Janine M. Thome
"For people who say they are champions
of the free world, it is shameful they do not
denounce violations of human rights by the
government of General Augusto Pinochet,"
said Isabel Allende, daughter of Chile's
assassinated president Salvador Allende,
during her visit at Evergreen last April.
Indeed, the 13 year old struggle of the
Chilean people against severe oppression
has increased international acknowledgement and outrage of such human rights
abuses. Under the Pinochet dictatorship, it
is reported there are 5,000 to 6,000 (actual
figures anywhere from 5,000 to 120,000)
political prisoners in Chile. Thousands of
others are arbitrarily detained, tortured, or
just" disappeared. " Yet others are exiled.
On Thursday;- November 13, 7:30 p.m. in
the TESC Recital Hall (admission free) the
Evergreen Political Information Center
(EPIC) invites the community to experience an intimate evening of Chilean
resistance. The music, poetry, and art of
Chile's two most prominent artists, Ismael
Duran and Tono Cadima, are cultural expressions of the will for democracy and
justice in Chile.
Tono Cadima, poet and graphic artist, is
well-known throughout Chile for his
humorous, yet serious poems. In 1977,
Cadima founded Taller Sol, a neighborhood
cultural center in Santiago, which has been
the target of raids by the secret police. The
proceeds of the TESC performance will go
towards workshops and cultural events at ·
the center.
Ismael Duran, songwriter and guitarist,
returned to Chile after nine years in exile,
helping to initiate a period of intense activity in all aspects of the resistance. He has
represented the movement of Chilean
Popular Singers and festivals in Ecuador,
Brazil, the USSR, and Peru.
Their current U.S.-Canada tour comes at
a vital time for Chile, as the oppression was
heightened after the September assassination attempt on Pinochet. Since then,
dozens of prominent outspoken leaders of
the opposition, church leaders, students,
and other human rights activists have been
detained, killed, and/or disappeared, following the imposed state of siege.
Duran and Cadima's performance will
provide a rare opportunity to feel the
strength and unity of the Chilean struggle
for peace, and freedom.

INTERVIEW
Don Bonker outlines
his priorities
<
This article is part of a weekly interview series in which the CPJ
with South Africa have the desired impact, i.e. an end to apartheid?
will talk with members of the community who have diverse and
interesti'l19 view§, or ~ho kaye specific knowledge which may further understanding of our community and-the issues lactng it. Th:is week, CPJ reporter Todd Anderson spoke with Congressman
Don Bonker, who represents · the 3rd · District, which covers
southwest Washington and most of the Olympia Peninsula. He
is a Derrwcrat and was first elected in 1974. Todd interviewed him
on October 21 in his office in Olympia. The subjects covered a 'Wide
range of current issues.
Don: Economic sanctions never work effectively if they're
unilaterally applied. The United States took this step more as a
moral dec1arationffian as an effective means toonng down the
government in Pretoria. So far, only a few nations have joined
the United States in applying these economic sanctions. you may
recall that in the case of Zimbabwe, the United Nations had imposed universal economic sanctions against that government and
it took sixteen years to bring down the white regime and even
then it wasn't economic sanctions but a political solution that was
worked out by Great Britain's Thatcher Government.
Todd: With allegations of possible U.S. government military
assistance to the Nicaraguan Contras, in defiance of a congres
sional ban, what will Congress do
if an investigation proves the
charges?
Don: Well, I think aid to the contras comes in several forms. The
Congress, for at least one year,
disallowed
any
.military
assistance. But a few months ago
both the House and the Senate
voted in favor of sending $100
million in assistance to the contras. I believe about two-thirds of
that would be military aid. We are
starting to learn that private
sources are also supporting or funding related activities involving
the contras. I don't know whether
our law allows for this private
mercenary activity.
Todd: Do you think the current
government of Nicaragua is as oppressive and destabilizing as the
Reagan administration says it is?
Don: I feel that any Marxist government is going to be contrary
to our foreign policy objectives. But, I don't think our policy should
be one of undermining or engaging in guerrilla activity to inhibit
a foreign government with whose politics we disagree. Our policy
ought to be one of supporting the Contadora (peace) process which
involves the bordering countries and other m~or South American
nations which have a stake in the region. If they felt that the
Nicaraguan government was destabilizing, they certainly would
be concerned. But if anything, all the leaders of Latin America
have opposed President Reagan's military solution to the ongoing struggles there.... _ fact is, there is a government in place,
with whom we disagree, nonetheless we shouldn't be attempting
to undermine it. If we engage in that kind of activity, then we're
no better off than the Russians and their participation in regional
conflicts throughout the world.
co Todd: Realistically, will the recently passed sanctions against trade
Todd: What impact will the tax reform bill have?
Don: The tax bill, unfortunately,
will not help in our competitiveness. It will in effect
transfer $120 billion in the tax
burden away from individuals and
on to corporations. Of course
much of that will be passed
through to the consumer in products sold both domestically and
internationally. If U.S. products
are going to cost more abroad,
then we are going to be less competitive, and if they're going to
cost more domestically, then imports will have an advantage in
our own market. So we have to
think through what it will take to
be more competitive. The reform
bill, if anything, will put more
disposable income in the hands of
the consumer, much of that will be
going to buy foreign imports.
press photo Some of the specific provisions of
the bill that would have helped our trade position have been removed or sharply curtailed, like investment tax credits, accelerated
depreciation, foreign investment tax credit alld the like. So overall
the tax bill won't help our competitive position and will probably
add to our trade deficit.
think we are fooling anybody, we're just getting over another hurdle, and an even higher hurdle remains, as we continue our course
towards a balanced budget target · of 1991. Much, of course,
depends on economic conditions; if the economy goes into descent,
any attempt to meet the Fiscal year '87 target will be impossible.
So there are harder times coming and future generations are going to have to pay a much heavier price-which has become our
luxury in this generation
Todd: President Reagan says we are still enjoying economic "good
times," yet unemployment remains at 7 percent; does this mean
this is the best we can hope for?
Don: We have in this coun~Jod,§yJU.wo-tiered-economy. On one
tier we nave the booming service industries, technology, investments and all the related activities that helped to support the
President's claim that we have 46 months of . uninterrupted
economic growth and have created 11 million new jobs. But he
only talks about the one tier; he completely ignores the other tier,
which is what you referred to as deindustrialization. Weare losing hundreds of thousands of vital manufacturing jobs. We are
witnessing a dismantling of America's agricultural base: staggering surpluses, shrinking world markets, and depressed prices are
wiping out the family farm. We are losing our commodities industry: copper, aluminum, steel, metals of all forms. Indeed,
America is becoming rapidly transformed from an intensely industrial base to a light-weight service base, which is not sufficent
to support us in the future. We are also accumulating frightening
deficits, not only the budget deficit, but the trade deficit, the external debt, the farm debt, the consumer debt, the corporate debt.
The fact is, we are gong to reach a point where there are insufficientresources to cover all the accumulated debts. When Ronald
Reagan came into the White House in 1981, we were the largest
creditor nation in the world; in 1986 we are the largest debtor
nation in the world, making Argentina, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, and
all those other countries look like pikers by comparison. If we're
the largest debtor nation, who is going to be the creditor nation
in the world in the future? Even Japan can't handle it.
Todd: Estimates on the long-run costs of the Strategic Defense
Initiative run upwards to $1 trillion. Given the President's unbending commitment to the program and the initial congressional committment, is there any way to keep this program from locking up
huge portions of federal expenditures for years to come, or is it
even possible the program may be cancelled?
Don: Cost estimates for SDI range from $800 billion to a trill ian
dollars in the ten year period it will take to develop and deploy
SDI. The cost is prohibitive; everyone but Reagan knows that is
a fact. So where to get the resources to support this extraordinary
technology is an unanswered question. My guess is that given the
Gramm-Rudman deficit reductions that are in place for the next
four years, that any diversion of funds to pay for SDI will have
to come from the Pentagon Budget. In other words, it will have
to come out of our conventional forces, it will have to come out
of various parts of our triad defense system. It will greatly cripple the well-being of some of our proven most effective operational
systems. So I think it is a foolhardy strategy, the technology may
have some merit, even though it's controversial and unproven.
But, when one considers the enormous cost involved, it's truly
an unrealistic goal.
Todd: What do you see as the eventual resolution to the nuclear
waste problem? It seems no state is willing to have a dump site
located within its borders
Don: Well, simply stated, we need a process that will select two
sites, one in the east and one in the west, so we won't have the
problem of the hazards of transcontinental shipment. Secondly,
we need a national repository, but nobody wants it in their
backyard. It is going to be controversial wherever it is scheduled
to be dumped. I would have to say in all fairness to ourselves,
Washington State has done its share with nuclear waste. We have
been the repository for all the low-level nuclear waste in this country. We have been the repository for all the military waste. We
are located right on the Columbia River, which probably has had
its fill of toxic waste that could endanger the river, our agricultural
salmon runs, and so forth. We have very good reasons to say our
state has done its share.
Todd: What about drug testing?
Don: Everybody at Evergreen state should be required to take
a drug test.
Todd: I don't think that would go over very well!
Don: You're right. Scratch that. As for federal employees, the
President has set an example, but I feel like Mo Udall (D-Ariz)
who said, in response to a similar question, that he learned a long
time ago that you don't get into a pissing match with the President of the United States.
The Cooper Point Journal
needs you !!!
Todd: It has been charged that Congress is using unrealistic
assumptions for the Fiscal Year 1987 Budget. If that is true, and
revenue and spending projections don't meet Gramm-Rudman
specifications, will there be sweeping reductions in vital government programs?
If you are skilled writer, artist, photographer, graphic
designer, or layout worker, please consider doing internship, contract, or volunteer work with us. If you are
interested in learning these skills, we are here to help you.
Don: We all know that we are doing a lot of paper shuffling and
fancy footwork in order to meet Gramm-Rudman targets for Fiscal
Year '87. What we are doing is selling off our assets, mostly our
liquid assets, such as loan portfolios, farm-home loans, Ex-1m Bank.
We also sold Conrail and many other of our assets. But I don't

How can we best evaluate
faculty?
DTF on November 5, from 1 :30 - 2:30 p. m.
in LIB 2205.
compiled by Yolande Lake
Last year the Agenda Committee, in conjunction with vice president and provost
Patrick Hill, started work on creating a
new faculty evaluation policy for the college. This fall, the Faculty Evaluation DTF
is completing the task. Currently, this
grou p of faculty, students and staff are
reviewing proposals and position 'papers
and gathering as much feedback from the
community as possible. Following are three
position papers from the Student Input subcommittee, dealing specifically with the
concern of student evaluation of faculty.
Students are warmly encouraged to voice
their opinions at an open meeting of the
Donna McMaster's suggestions for student evaluation of faculty. (Due to space
constraints, this is a summary. Proposals
may be read in their entirety by contacting
the Information Center).
1. A new "Student Evaluation of Facrilty"
form 'Will be designed that will have 3-5
questions calling for narrative answers to
which the student may respond, with room
for additional comments.
2. All evaluations submitted by students
must be signed and deposited at a collection point in the Dean's office area. The
Deans will place the evaluation in the facul-
ty's fIle and distribute copies to the faculty for his or her portfolio.
3. If it is found during a faculty's reappointment year that there are insufficient
evaluations from students in the faculty fIle,
the dean or evaluation team may request
evaluative comments from students who
have studied with the faculty member during the prior 2-3 year period to assist in
ascertaining-the teachirig performance of
the faculty. During the reappointment year,
faculty may also solicit evaluations from
students.

only here for four years and they need to
concentrate on their education. That's why

faculty and students spent more time

Whose education is it, anyway?
How about this:
All essential individual human components of the learning process at
Evergreen -- faculty, students, janitors,
etc., -- recognize and utilize their own
voice/power ' and the voice/power of all
other individuals. Each person talks; each
person listens. Decisions are not (necessarily) made by professionals or experts. Decisions are made by those involved. Period.
It's your education. You are the vital
component. No one else is more qualified
to oversee the learning process than the
learners and the teachers. Don't stuff it oft'
onto the crowded laps of the administration.
Speak, and let your voice be heard.

ty colleagues expect to and regularly do
see, a self-evaluation written by the facul·
ty member being evaluated.
Second, students typically meet one tD
one with the faculty ,member they are
evaluating to discuss the teacher's work
whereas, usually, faculty teams meet
together tD discuss each team member's
work. When faculty teams have only 2
members, the student evaluator's position
is identical to that of each faculty evaluator
in what each speaks alone tD the teacher
whose work is WIder consideration. But
very often faculty teams have 3 or more
members so that each evaluator has ucompany" when speaking with the teacher
whose work is being assessed.
Proposal for reform of the student's role
in faculty evaluation:
1. Faculty should write a self-evaluation to
give their students which addreuea the
faculty's teaching perfonnance with these
students. This self-evaluation may be the
same as the evaluation written for colleagues or it may be ditTerent; it need only
speak to the teaching work with the
students; it may exclUde faculty team rela.. tions, program adminiBtrative work, collep
governance work, professional activity, etc.
This self-evaluation will be part of the
teacher's portfolio.
2. Students should meet in groups of a size
that allows substantive di8custdon (perhape
a seminar group, perhaps smaller) with the
teacher to discuss the teaeher's work.
3. After this discussion, each student should
write a narrative evaluation oftbe teacher's
work to be included in the teacher's
portfolio.

essentially the same as the way faculty
evaluate each other. Both use narrative
evaluations. Students are expected to write
evaluations of their current teacher, and
faculty team members are expected to
write evaluations of their current colleagues. Each faculty member is required
to include all evaluations received of their
work - all colleague and all student
authored evaluations - in their portfolios
which serve as the ~or source of evidence
for reappointment decisions made by the
deans.
At the same time, many Evergreen faculty and deans bemoan the poor quality which
characterizes student evaluations of faculty, citing their vagueness or generality,
their lack of specificity, detail and examples. Although some evaluations which
faculty write of each other are also vague
and general, students' evaluations far more
often suffer these defects. Many people
ascribe these defects to students' lack of
knowledge about how to write evaluations
and recommend better instruction of
students to overcome them.
I do not believe that the main source of
these defects lies in students' alleged inability or lack of knowledge of how to
evaluate. Instead, I maintain that there are
2 maJor differences between the process by
which students in practice evaluate faculty and the process by which faculty team
members in fact evaluate each other. These
differences account for the meager
substance of many student evaluations. We
cannot expect substantive student evaluations unless we eliminate these differences.

The newspaper is published weekly and is
distributed to the Evergreen campus communi·
ty and ~he greater Olympia area. Its focus is on
issues and events on the Evergreen campus, as
well as issues in the.larger community which are
of interest to students of Evergreen.
There are two sides in the operation of the
COapeT' Point Journal, as there are on traditional
newspapers. These are Editorial and Advertising. This policy covers both aspects of the
operation.
By Allegre Hinkle
If, as you read the ,CPJ, you have questions about how or why the paper operates
as it does and whether or not you have any
channels for input, it could be time for you
to learn more about the Communications
Board.
Both the Cooper Point Journal and
KAOS radio report to the Communications
Board. This board is made up of staff, faculty, and student representatives, as well as
representatives from professional media
and the local community. Board responsibilities include providing general
guidance, counseling and assistance to the
media, in addition to overseeing development of and compliance with editorial and
operating policies.
Meetings are held on the second Friday
of each month from 12-1:30 p.m. in the
Board Room on the third flor. '. f)f the
Library building. Meetings are always open
to the public unless personnel matters are
being discussed. If you are interested in
discovering the upcoming agenda or have
suggestions for agenda, please call or write
to Allegra Hinkle, L2300, TESC, x6249.
The Board is currently involved in redrafting the proposed publishing policy for

Eating habits sink Geoducks

by Jacob Weisman
Crew team looks
forward to spring
by Suzanne Steilberg
The Evergreen Crew Club's outlook for
the 1986-87 season is positive. "I think we'll
do better than last year," said Cath
Johnson, the crew coach. "Our team overall
is heavier; last year's lightweights are
stronger and newcomers to the club are
heavyweights. "
The team practices every morning at 5: 15
on Budd Inlet. Coach Johnson pointed out
that commitment is a big part of the success of the team because of the early practices and the unpredictable weather.
Besides the early morning practices the
crew club lifts weights to gain strength.
They emphasize the length and the stomach
muscles, which are vital to the strength of
the rower.
There are many unique elements to the
sport crew. "It is unique in that no one person can stand out," said Coach Johnson.
"Someone can be stronger, but they cannot stand out because it is a team sport; we
compete as a synchronized team." This
need for synchronicity creates a closeness
between members. The repetitive motion
requires a large amount of concentration,
not to mention physical fitness.
The fall season for the Geoduck Crew
Club is almost over. The club will compete
in.their first, and only regatta on November
15-16. This is the fall season's last regatta.
Coach Johnson said that crew gets a slow
start because of the beginning of school.
The spring season for the Geoduck crew
begins the fourth week in February and
lasts until the second week in June. Coach
Johnson says that spring season is great
and a lot more fun than fall because
everyone is already in shape and the
weather is fair~ D
Steve Kaczak is the coach of Evergreen's
women's soccer team. Following last Sunday's 4-0 loss to Pacific Lutheran University, their record stands at 3-8. "We were
caught flat-footed," says Kaczak. "We outplayed them in the second half."
"It's kind of the way the season has gone
for us so far, We've been very inconsistent.
We play over our heads against teams that
outclass us, but we get blown out against
teams we should beat. We seem to let the
other teams dictate the quality of the game.
"The team this year has definitely improved. At times our play has been
brilliant, but at other times we've looked
like statues playing against people in fast
motion."
Part of the problem, Kaczak admits, is his
team's lack of experience, "If you take a
player who's had maybe one year of high
school experience," Kaczak says, "they're
going to be outclassed at our level of com-
petition, It takes four to five years for a
player to develop the skills necessary to
compete in soccer. A player who starts here
as a freshman will be just starting to learn
what they need to know by their senior
year."
. But more than anything else, Kaczak is
worried aboufthe team's diet. "Let me tell
you what they had for breakfast," he says,
holding up a grocery receipt. "Pop tarts,
$17 worth of ice cream, chocolate chips it's horrible. I'm trying to get them to eat
a balanced diet, something like bacon and
eggs."
"I think we're going to get better," he
says. "Right now, we're just at a rough spot
in the season."
Their next game will be a rematch against
Washington State University, Saturday,
November 1 at 1:00 at Evergreen. "I'm
looking forward to it," says Kaczak. "Last
time, they caught us flat footed. This time
we'll be ready. We're definitely
improving."D

tioning the viability of the two-party system in the county. Suddenly, Thurston County Republicans fIled candidates to oppose
the Democrats for four of the previously unopposed offices. Not
to be outdone, the Democrats fIled a candidate against the lone
unopposed Republican, County Auditor Sam Reed. These five late
editions came on August 8, the fIling deadline. Here is a rundown
of the offices up for election and the candidates seeking those
offices.
County Commissioner
Salary - $42,924
Incumbent - Les Eldridge (D)
The Board of County 'Commissioners is the county's chief
legislative body. Their primary duty is to design the county
budget. They also pass ordinances (county laws) and have authority
over Public Works, Planning, Parks and Recreation, and Social
Services.
Thurston County is divided into three commissioners' districts.
District 3 (West Olympia and Tumwater) is up this year. Only
voters of the district vote in the primary for this office; however,
in the general election all county voters are eligible to vote for
this office.
Eldridge is seeking a second term and is being challenged by
Republican Charles R. "Chuck" Wilson. Eldridge, a former
Evergreen administrator, claims partial credit for the creation of
a new job center, creation of a Water Quality Management Plan,
and the doubling of aid to agencies serving the poor, the homeless
and the elderly during his term.
Wilson, one of the last minute candidates, is a construction
worker. He takes a conservative populist anti-government line,
but articulates few well-defmed issue positions. Eldridge swamped
Wilson in the primary, 54% to 28% with the balance going to
another democrat.
,
Yes
Assessor
Salary - $38,424
Incumbent - Ann Clifton (D)
County Clerk
Salary - $33,996
incumbent - Thelma "Chum" Thomas
The Assessor is reponsible for determining the value of all taxable real and personal property. State law requires that the
Assessor re-appraise the value of real property every four years.
The amount of taxes to be levied is determined by the various
taxing district officials, such as the state legislature, fire district,
and school districts. The Assessor's office has 33 full-time
equivalent employees and a departmental budget of $1,077,663 for
1986.
Clifton is seeking her fourth tenn; she is opposed by Thurston
County Republican Chairman Bill Moomau: Clifton's literature
reports that she has successfully fought attempts to raise property
taxes and is consistently rated as fair and equitable by the State
Department of Revenue. Moomau, a late f:tler, has not run a highly
visible campaign and was not present for the Thurston County
League of Women Voters forum on October 16 while all the other
County candidates were. Clifton outpaced Moomau by 70% to 30%
in the primary.
The Clerk is the administrative and financial officer of the
Superior Court. The Clerk receives all types of litigation at the
Superior Court level, draws and maintains jury panels, and is
responsible for collecting all court fees and fines.
'
The Clerk's office employs 18 full-time equivalent employees and
has a budget of $495,000 for 1986.
Thomas is unopposed for re-election.
Auditor
Salary - $38,424
Incumbent - Sam Reed (R)
'-0
N
land ownership and personal property, supervises elections and
voter registration, and processes motor vehiclelboat license platp.s,
tab ,renewals, original title applications and title transfers.
The Auditor's office employs 21 full-time equivalent employees
and had a budget of $640,000 for 1986.
Reed, who is seeking a third tenn, is opposed by Democrat
Stanley A. "Stan" Enebo. This is one race where the Rebublican
is the decided favorite, as Reed beat Enebo 73% to 27% in the
primary. Reed claims to have increased services during his tenure
while spending less money and using a smaller staff. Enebo, a
fonner Minnesota legislator, is mounting a spirited campaign, offering several innovative ideas. He has made voter registration
the centerpiece of his campaign, by proposing to abolish the law
requiring registration 30 days in advance of the election.
The Auditor is responsible for four major areas: Recording, Accounting, Motor Vehicle Registration, and Elections. The Auditor
examines all financial transactions and insures proper receipt and
expenditure of county funds. The office records all documents of
Coroner
Salary - $27,840
incumbent - Tag Frazier (D)
" The Coroner's position is considered to be part-time. Coroners '
are medicalllegal officers that investigate and certify certain types
of deaths.
.
The results of the Coroner's investigation are later used by the
Sheriff's office and the Prosecuting Attorney. The Coroner's office has two employees and a budget of $76,000 for 1986.
Frazier is not seeking re-election. Deputy Coroner Judy Arnold
is the Democratic nominee and she is opposed by RepUblican Ralph
M. Foster.
'
Arnold served 6 years under Frazier and has his endorsement.
She has a variety of training in legal and medical affairs. Foster,
a graduate of Northwestern Medical School, feels that the Coroner should be a licensed physician. Arnold outpoUed Foster 59%
to 41% in the primary.
Prosecuting Attorney
Salary - $56,548
incumbent - Patrick D. Sutherland (D)
The Prosecuting Attorney serves as a legal advisor, prosecutor
in criminal matters, and as a representative of the County in civil
cases. The Prosecuting Attorney's office also assists parents in
collecting delinquent child support and is involved in guardianship matters.
The Prosecuting Attorney's office employs 29 full-time
equivalent employees and has a budget of $1,079,000 for 1986
Sutherland is seeking his fourth term and is unopposed.
Sheriff
Salary - $41,748
incumbent - Dan Montgomery (R)
The Sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer of the county.
The Sheriff's office is responsible for law enforcement (primarily
in areas of unincorporated Thurston County), operating jail
facilities, civil and legal processing, and emergency operations such
as flood, fire and storm control.
Many of the Sheriff's duties are managerial in nature, as the
department is the county's biggest in staff and budget. The office
has 120 full-time equivalent employees and a departmental budget
of $4,849,700 in 1986.
This is easily the hottest race in the county. It was bound to
be interesting when three Democrats and two Republicans, including Montgomery, filed for the primary. Montgomery was
defeated in the primary, an apparent victim of voter backlash
resulting from the unsolved murder of a 14-year-old Tenino girl.
RepUblican Gary Edwards, a county patrolman, now faces
Democrat Hank Engelke, a Lacey Detective, in the general
election.
Both candidates claim 16 years law enforcement experience. But
Engelke claims a large edge in education and supervisor experience, which he believes are necessary to run the department.
Engelke has a M.P.A., compared to Edwards' two years ofuniversity training. Edwards initially tailored his campaign to appeal
to the dissatisfied south county voters by advocating enhanced
services to those areas, an effective tactic against Montgomery.
The combined Republican vote was twice the Democratic vote
in the primary, but most observers feel this was a result of the
strong feelings for and against Sheriff Montgomery. The race for
the general election is judged as a toss-up.
Treasurer
Salary - $37,080
"incumbent - Hams G. Hunter (D)
The Treasurer's office has 12 full-time equivalent employees and
investments. The office is responsible for the receipt of funds, collection of taxes, disbursement of funds, investment of surplus
monies present in any of the county funds.
The Treasurer's office has 12 full-time equivalent employees as
a departmental budget of $410,000 in 1986.
Hunter, who is seeking his fourth term, is opposed by Republican
Arnold "Arnie" Johnson. Despite running up a 2-to-l margin in
the primary, Hunter is seen as vulnerable by RepUblicans. Johnson
has many qualifications, but has found few negative attributes to
hang on Hunter, other than Hunter's mistaken assertion that
Johnson was delinquent on paying his taxes. Hun~r claims to have
made $24 million on investments for county taxpayers in the last
five years while using a proportionaly smaller amount of money
to run the office.
Proposition 1
This item has been intensely debated but poorly understood.
If passed it would empower a board of 18 "freeholders" to draft
a proposed charter for Thurston County, which may involve an
alteration of the current governmental structure. The mission of
the freeholders would literally be boundless, although whatever
they propose must be approved by the voters. Supporters of the
initiative claim passage will mean restructuring Water Quality
Control and possibly giving the voters powers of initiative. Opponents criticize the proposal as an attempt to "regionalize"
government and create additional layers of bureaucracy.
Freeholders
Oddly, if Proposition 1 fails on election day the 18 newly elected
freeholders will have no authority to do anything. Seventy-four
candidates filed for freeholder positions and the primary narrowed the field to 36, two for each position. Among the primary
casualties were two Evergreen faculty members, Ken Dolbeare
and Ralph 'Murphy; however, Evergreen student Kristen West
is on the general election ballot.
Most of the freeholder candidates have avoided committing
themselves to specific proposals, although most favor Proposition
