Editor's Note:
Anyone who enjoyed Darrel Riley's
piece last week about how decisions
get made at Evergreen will probably
be amused by what happened to me
last Tuesday.
The faculty voted a couple weeks
ago to have a community governance
day where classes would be cancelled.
A committee was chartered to work out
details. They came up with a date and
Dale Larson wrote an article for us
about it. Then the committee decided
to recind their date. Meanwhile I got
a call from the President's office asking about the article--they wanted to
clarify that this was an event for staff
too. The folks who told me about the
cancellation arranged to have someone write a new article. I asked
them ta take it to the President's office
when it was done. Naturally they
thought the president wanted to make
unilateral changes or whatnot. Then I
got another call saying the deans had
decided classes wouldn't be cancelled,
but redesigned on the day. Then someone else was talking about the
legit. imacy of the committee making
the decisions. And it went on and on.
The whole thing was remarkably absurd and typically Evergreen. I think
the fact there was and is so much confusion about when and how a governance day is going to take place
speaks reams about this place.
Enjoy the paper.

SICK
Dear Cooper Point Journal,
I just finished reading the sick little
piece of fiction by Larry john Davenport
entitled "The Shift." Oanuary 14 issue)
My kids enjoy reading the college
newspaper but this is one issue I won't
bother to take home. If that's the best fiction you can find on campus, maybe the
CPj doesn't need a fiction department.
I think Larry John Davenport's problem
may be that he watches too much television. By the way, I enjoyed G.W.
Galbreath's letter about the lack of interviewees of color-too bad you didn 't take
his (her?) advice in this issue.
Sincerely, Eli~n R~inwalker

ORIGINAL
Dear CPj,
In response to those who have commented on the believability of the final
paragraph of my story The Shift, I ask that
the original ending please be printed:
Nick let out a silent scream as the long iron
pipe was driven deep into his chest. The huls
of his dragging Dingo's dug rivers of blood as
the car picked up spud, drove across the road,
and slammed into the concrete shithouse, throwing his twisted twitching body through the men's
room door and onto a broken urinal. Nick watched as his life's blood flowed out of the end

of the pipe and into a stream oj rusty water and
piss that made its way to a small COpp" grating
in the middle f?,f the floor. The light at the top
of the cold grey buildingflickered then went out.

CRIMES
Dear Editor,
Martin Luther King's life was more
than a dream; it was a vision. And it took
a lot of hard work to bring his dream to
fruition, to make the dream tangible.
King's dream was born out of nonviolence, satyagraha, truth-force. Both
Gandhi and King trace their inspiriation,
at least in part, to a short work wl'itten
by Henry David Thoreau, presently entitled Civil Disobediance. On a july evening in the mid-1800s, Thoreau went to
jail because he refused to pay his poll tax
in protest over a nation that supported
a system of slavery and an unjust war in
Mexico. He said that he might not be
capable of righting every injustice, but
'that the le~st he could do was see to it that
he did not provide the means for
another's oppression .
The townspeople were so astounded by
this peculiar aq that they later asked
Thoreau to spe~ about it, and eventu~y
he wrote it down, The tract first came m-

to Gandhi's hands in South Africa, where
he fought for twenty years against apartheid. King carried a copy of Civil Disobedience with him every time he went to jail.
One of the unfortunate flaws of
"liberal thinking" is that it too often is
a panacea, a reformody salve for the "excesses" of capitalism . As such it fails to
articulate a seperate vision and in some
instances is a variation on the cornman
theme of oppression. What nonviolence
demands is non-cooperation with
violence and evil. It is not passive,
because through passivity there is complicity. Nor is it aggression against an
enemy. Let your life be a counterweight,
a counterfriction against the machine of
injustice said Thoreau, who grew up the
son of an abolitionist.
-B~ia~ -Wilson, tb-eVietnam veteran
who has so actively opposed U.S. intervention in Central America, has affected millions . Fifty nations have invited
him to visit as a quest of honor . Both
Vietnam and Nicaragua have proclaimed him national hero. In the first month
following his tragedy last September he
received 11,000 phone calls and tens of
thousands of letters since. Since that
time, every train (46 in all) of weapons
to El Salvador has been blocked at the
Concord Naval Weapons Station in
California by a sustained community of

1500 people doing what they call
"Nuremberg Actions." They have remained nonviolent despite the fact that
police have resorted to breaking arms (at
least three so far).
Charles Maechling, who led counterinsurgency and international defensive
planning for Presidents Johnson and
Kennedy from 1961-66 and is now an
associate of The Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace described U.S.
trainees in Latin America as "indistinguishable from the war criminals
hanged at Nurmenberg after World War
II. For the United States, which led the
crusade against the Nazi evil, to support
the methods of Heinrich Himmler's extermination squads is an outrage."
That the images of oppression disturb
us but not the oppression itself (at least
not sufficiently to act against it) may indicate that we, as a society, have
mythologized the Nazis but do not yet
recognize their crimes and have not yet
come to understand what those crimes
mean personally and politically.
I would like to invite all those who can
manage it to attend a Rally To End Contra Aid Forever on February 1 at 3:30 pm
at the federal Building in Seattle. There
will be demonstrations around the U.S .
on this day. Call EPIC at 866-6000 ext.
6144 for information and car pool. Those
who are interested in considering nonviolent civil disobedience are encouraged to attend a training, January 30
(Saturday) from 1 :00 to 5:00 pm in CAB

CULTURE
Dear Editor,
Weare writing in response to the use
of Japanese honorifics in the CPJ staff
box of the January 14th issue and the letter written by Kathleen Kelly .
As concerned Asian Americans and
People of Color we feel that it is our
responsibilty to point out the significance
and consequence of this incident. When
we first saw the staff box , we were appalled . We did not expect this kind of insensitivity to appear in our school's
newspaper . We discovered later that the
staff box was written in the spirit of
Tribute to Japan. Kathleen Kelly, author
of the" Stafu Boksu", felt that it would

January 28, 1988
be nice to share with the community
some of her knowledge of Japanese
culture. We acknowledge that her intentions were not to offend anyone. None the
less, it was an inappropriate way of giving tribute to the Japanese culture. It
connotes the use of honorifics in a
negative way by taking the language out
of context. A more appropriate homage
to the Japanese culture would be to write
an article explaining the significance and
.t he correct usage of honorifics.
From her letter last week, Kathleen
stated that she was "unhappy with the insensitivity of those who blasted the 'Stafu
Boksu' without seeking any understanding from the person behind it." How
was anyone to know the person or reason
behind it? It was absolutely an "off the
wall" thing to do without any explana.tion. Kathleen also st!lted that she added
the honorifics to the staff names because
she was addressing them as she would in
Japan. We are not living inJapan. Also,
it is our understanding that Kathleen used honorifics to accord her fellow staff
members respect. Pablo Bellon, who is a
CPJ staff member, and a few others
whom we have talked to, felt quite upset
that their names were used in this manner. In the spirit of Tribute to Japan, we
felt that she should have explained the
meaning of her use of honorifics, because
many Asian traditions and ceremonies
have been stereotyped and abused by the
media. This type of misunderstanding is
a result of ignorance and lack of communication. This demonstrates the importance of cultural exchange to facilitate
understanding between cultures .
As Asian Americans and People of
Color, we face racism of all kinds-subtle
or explicit. Our customs and traditions
are often not tolerated or are imitated
with little respect or understanding of
their historical or spiritual meaning (this
is not to say that there are none who really find our cultures unique and have
respect and true admiration f<;>r them).
Our names and cuitures have been abused, made fun of, and stereotyped in the
media ("Charlie Chan", "Fu Man
Chu," etc .). Because of all of this, we
have learned to internalize our own oppression. We even joke about our names
and cultures and think nothing of it. Our
names and cultures are not something
-- - - -..continued on following page

January 28, 1988
continued from previous page
people can just take and abuse just
because they think it is "cute."
It was highly appropriate that
Kathleen titled her letter last week" A
Lesson." The lesson to learn is that communication and cultural literacy are keys
to
eliminate
stereotypes
and
misunderstanding.

MEDIOCRITY
Dear PublIsher,
If a campus publication has such a lack
of inspiration that it must print a weekly
column on the mediocraty of a T.V.
junkie, I would rath~r read such
magazines as the Plain Truth or The
New York Post.
With Hope,
Adam Freeman

SUPPORT
Dear Editor,
I'm writing this note in support of
Larry John Davenport's television review
feature. I've never been a constant boob
tube viewer, but I've always been concerned over the amount of television wat- .
ched by my siblin~ and peers. I feel that
a good television review is as necessary
to a newspaper as a good film review
(neitherare, but if you need the filler .. . ),
especially when one examines the constant trash that IS prime time television .
Toodles,

SUGGESTION
Dear Editor,
Being new to the Olympia area, I have
just recently been ' made aware of the
great learning environment present at
Evergreen State College. This letter is to
let you know that I respect the educational environment students have
cultivated on their campus, one surely
unmatched by any other state institution .
I am a senior at the University of
Washington, currently residing in Olym-

Letters
pia while I finish an internship during the
legislative session. As a displaced Hus)<y,
I have been made to feel at home by a
kindly group of Geoducks.
While I am completely enamored with
the collegiate environment offered at
Evergreen, there are a few suggestions I
would like to offer, which I feel would
compliment the Evergreen experience.
First, I would like to suggest that the
college bulldoze a large section of those
cumbersome and monotonous groupings
of trees. After clear-cutting a sizeable section of land, bring in the backhoe to dig
a cavernous hole in the ground. And
what might you ask should be done with
this hole? Why, build a 95,000 seat football stadium of course.
The fighting Geoducks could become
the UW's south Puget Sound rival in no
time. Imagine yourself sitting in Geoduck
stadium on a crisp fall afternoon, mixing
tequila and 7-Up, while the valiant
Geoduck warriors fight for truth, justic~,
and the "greener" way of life down on
the astro-turf carpet of The Evergreen
State College Geoduck Stadium. Rose
Bowls, national championships and mass
media exposure are right around the
corner.
Secondly, I think Evergreen should
construct a 20,000 seat basketball arena
where the Geoduck hoopsters could work
their basketball magic.
I hear Bobby Knight, currently the
head coach at Indiana, is looking for a
change of environment. I'm sure that if
a group of illustrious Evergreen alumni
get together and offered Mr. Knight a
5-year, $10 million contract, the school
could have an all-star coach by next
season. Can't you just imagine the excitment when Dick Vitale and the ESPN
cameras make their annual appearance
to ohh and ahh the fabulous Geoducks .
"Bobby is getting some QPT out of these
guys tonight; ohh what a show . Get out
the mustard, it's hot dog time."
I hope you accept my suggestions in
the spirit they are given-as constructive
criticism.
I suggest some group of forwardlooking student leaders start the movement soon: NCAA divison one by 1990!
The only thing left to do is to write the
fight song. Go get 'em Geoducks!
Sincerely,
Joe Crowley

As idealistic as this may sound, the
SCC renovation is a fairly old idea, passed from S&A coord inator to S&A coordinator. Martin decided it was time to
ac t and turn the SCC into a place rather
than a hole in the wall to be ignored.
The SCC office is needed more today
than ever before . Both the student body
and administration have bee n growing
tremendously. As they grow, the amount
of communication-type paperwork produced seems to increase exponentially . At
the same time, it becomes more diflicult
to communicate to the growing number
students, simply due to it's size and increasing diversity.
The goals for the new SCC are perhaps
idealistic. But at the very least, a step in
the right direction is being taken. The
current means of communication is simply not adequate-it simply does not take
in e nough data, and does not get what
data it has out to enough people. As
em ployee R aquel Salinas pointed out,
"How can the (current) Student Communication Center communicate without
a phone?"
Fortunately, the SCC now does have
a phone. The extension is 6785. An additional staff person is now on duty, so
their hours have been expanded . Hours
are: Monday through Wednesday, and
Friday: 12 :00 to 5:00 pm; Thursday,
12:00 to 4:00 pm.

Community Governance Day to be Decided
by Eric Kuhner and Dale Larson
At a m eet in g of the faculty on January
13, a group of students were given an opportunity to express their concerns about
campus governance and th e Social Contract. After hearing these co ncerns, Don
Finkel proposed that a day be devoted to
the problems surrounding these issues.
The faculty app roved ~his proposal, and
planning began. A specific day has yet t o
be decided.
The day will be devoted to communication and mutal education betwee n
members of the campus commun it y. Acti vities may include seminars, short lectures, and workshops, as well as soc ial ac6 tivities to ce lebrate the co mmunit y. All

ac tivities are designed so that community members will learn more abo ut the
hi story a nd c urrent problems of
Evergreen gove rnance, a nd have a n opportunity to discuss these issues. Such
issues include the proposed rules to define
behavior prohibited by the Social Con tract and the sanctions imposed when
I hose rules are broken, and the lack of
stud ent involvement in campus decisions.
Spec ifi c proposals for communicat ion and
information sharing amo ng students and
o n h(lw to involve studen ts in campus
decisions may a lso be discussed.
Among- those who may fa cilitate th e
se minars and workshops are facu lt y
m elllbers, alulllni , other commun it y

m e mbers , and possibly in vited gues ts. A
proposal has been made to invite th e
ACL U to discu ss issues of civil rights and
civ il liberties as they rela te to th e proposed rules a nd prohibitions.
Membe rs of the campus community
are invited to participate in the planning
for this day. Outreach students, staff, and
fa culty members will be ongoing to ensure involvement of the different
segments of the campus . A meeting will
b e held on Friday, February 4, at 12:30
in th e Greenery for those interested in
planning for this event. Further information will be ava ilable through the Student
Communication Center, ex tension 6785.

Breaking Through War

Harold Sandler and Elena Loshchenkova,
na for The Olympian.
"War has a beeen made obsolete by the total,
suicidal, destructive power oj nuclear weapons.
Its has been made obsolete by the gradually increasing consciousness that can nons cannot produce social Justice, only Justice can produce
Justice,' only compassion can produce compassion; only brotherhood can produce brotherhood.
War is the issuejor this generation, and global
thinking is the challenge. "

by Bonnie Jacobs
The above quote is from the book
Breakthrough: Emerging New Thinking,
which was a uthored by a team of Soviet
and American sc ientists . It has been
published in both countries and was the
subj ect of a seminar last week on campus.
Dr. Elena Loshchenkova and Dr.
Garold Sandler, who were among the
writers/editors involved in the project,
p articipated in the seminar.
The book was sponsored by the
Beyond War Foundation and the Committee of Soviet Scientists for Peace
Against the Nuclear Threat.
Loshchenkova, 35, is a physicist at the
Space Research Institute of the USSR
Academy of Sciences, Executive
Secretary of the Soviet peace group and
the Soviet project director of the book.
She authored one chapter.

Dr. Sand ler is a cardiologist at the
Stanford University School of Medicine
and spent 25 years with NASA as chief
of biomedical research. In 1982, he
helped found Beyond War , which is an
international educational organization
dedicated to ending war. He was the
book's senior editor.
The two are among 10 US-USSR
teams touring the country to start people talking and working for peace.
Breakthrough does not suggest solutions,
but possible ways of working together to
find them. The process involved in
writing the book is a model for such work.
" We began as a typical group of Sovie ts
a nd Americans," Loshchenkova sa id .
, 'We had discussions on Central
America, Afganistan, and Nicaragua.
After a while, we were not moving
forward .
"We decided not to stress the negative
and what separated us, but what united
u s," she continued. "And what w~ found
was survival: survival of our countries,
survival of our children, survival of our
families, and future."
A videotape of the seminar is available
through Beyond War; it will be shown on
TCTV channel 31 next February 9 at
9:00 pm . The book is available at the
Evergreen bookstore.

meet 50 to 40.
In the men's division , Evergreen led
off the meet with a season best 400
medley relay victory. "These guys went
totally nuts," said coach Bruce Fletcher.
"Matt Love got the relay started with a

Geoducks battled all the way to the end
but came up 10 points short.
Claire Littlewood impressed her teammates by swimming a first time ever 500
freestyle in 6:05 . 10. C laire battled
distance star Rachel Wexler the whole
way to make it a fantastic race. Sophia
Barashkoff and Amy Bohn both swam
season best times in their events while
Erica Anderson continued to win in the
3 meter diving event Linda Cope placed
second in the 50 freestyle (29 . 15) and was
a member of the winning 200 freestyle
relay team. Other relay members included; Wexles, Litt lewood and Ann
Remsburg.
In upcoming action, the women's team
will face Simon Fraser Thursday ,
January 28,3:00 pm at Evergreen. Both
the men's and women's team will travel
to Oregon State University for an invitational January 29 and 30.

Slaughter In San Diego
by John Robinson
Well, well, well, the big one is here,
Super Bowl Sunday will take place in San
Diego this weekend in front of 75,000
screaming fans, I hate to be the harbringer of bad news, but this matchup is
not as even as it seems, The oddsmakers
have made the Broncos 3 ~ point
favorites in most books, Don't ask me
why. Just go with the Redskins and take
the cash and free points from anyone who
will give them to you.
Here are the reasons why: The Redskins represent the NFC, the power conference of football. This conference stakes
its name on defense, and its representative can be expected to epitomize that
philosophy. With few exceptions, the
Super Bowl winner has built their team
around' defense. Remember last year's
Giants, the Bears the year before, and the
late great Steelers, the four-time winners
of this annual fiasco? All were defensive
minded maulers, and all succeeded in
stopping the run. The Redskins are no
exception. Did you notice in the AFC

championship game how the Browns
stuffed the Broncos running game? Expect the same from the Redskins, and
also expect a pass rush led by Charles
Mann to eliminate the kind of browsing
time Bronco QB John Elway enjoyed
against Cleveland. Consequently, count
on cornerback Darryl Green and Company to stick to receivers downfield and
look for an occasional hammerhead blow
administered to Bronco W ide Receiver
Vance Johnson, who has just returned
from injury. Doesn't sound pretty, does
it? That's just the beginning.
For some reason, this game is typically a high scoring contest. Washington can
attest to that. .. just ask 'em about the
38-9 whipping the Raiders handed them
in 1984, Look for the Skins to take out
the lingering pain from that one on the
Broncos. They have been working hard
for this one. While their defense will bully
and harass the Bronco's offense, also look
for the Redskins to excel on offense the
same way the Browns did two week. ago
and the Giants did in last year's title

by Scott Buckley
In a provocative article in last week's
C PJ, Doug Riddels, Evergreen alum par
excellence, suggests that student governance has always been in crisis.
"No crisis, riow that would be news,"
says Riddles, who ought to remember. In
the ea rly and mid 70s, while he was CPJ
ed itor, Riddles and a small cadre of student activists tried to run a small-scale
revolution from the CPJ office. They
gathered a phenomenal amount of public
support and accomplished a great many
things, but eventually succumbed to the
well-documented malaise called "student
goverence burnout. " (Symptoms: the
belief that you are single-handedly
running a revolution; more than two
"meetings" a week; or progressive,
creeping cynicism.)
Ordinarily, when a student (or student
group) becomes concerned about our lack
of student governance, they begin a
search for the" true spirit of Evergreen"
in the college's archives. More than one
person has become overwhelmed by the
sheer volume of idealistic paper generated
by Evergreen's past, or gotten lost searching through old COG documents and
organizational charts . Now, a group
which has been interested in governance
issues since October has developed a set
specific proposals. While many groups
have introduced commun ication or
governance proposals (most recently, the
Governance DTF, which met last year), the

A Collective
Invitation

people who formulated the most recent
proposal show signs of being uniquely
different.
"We want a system 'which is based
directly on student needs," says Diana
Robishaw, one of the students who worked on the idea for the evergreen student collective ("tesc," always written in lower
case). "The structure must meet the
needs of individual students, and be flexible to facilitate new needs as they evolve.
Trying to force our needs as students into some arbitrary structure is bullshit ."
Robishaw and other students in the
group began reading the archives of the
college at an extraordinary rate of speed.
According to members of the group, that
speed was made possible by a conscious
decision to focus on the values and
themes which were implied, but not explicitly stated, in Evergreen's early governing documents. Robishaw says that, for
example , "The Social Contract said at
one point, 'Only if minority and unpopular points of view are listened to, and
are given opportunity for expression, will
Evergreen provide bona fide opportunities for significant learning. ' That
tells me that the people who wrote it were
concerned with the development of a truly egalitarian society-totally committed

January 28, 1988
to education."
The group's proposal begins with
definitions of eleven themes, called
, 'foundations, " which were extracted
from Evergreen's past during "directedreadings," as well as new themes which
emerged in lengthy conversations with
the present generation of students.
"Egalitarian" is on the list of Evergreen's
historic values, as are "Education" and
"Collective. "
Despite the fact that the group's proposal looks very much like a system of
student governance, Robishaw insists
that it is not. "Governance is a community affair," she says. "This is a vehicle for
communication, which is designed to
facilitate the fulfillment of student needs.
It's egalitarian by design . "
Robishaw says that she and the other
authors of the proposal are committed to
helping foundation statements such as
"Grassroots," "Generational" and even
Nurturing" evolve into a specific process. Copies of the proposal are currently circulating among students and are being passed from hand to hand . On Monday, February 1, there will be a Gathering in the Corner from 3:00 to 5:00 pm
(the Corner is part of the new community center near the dorms). All students
who would like to show support or affirmation for the foundations, or who want
to find out more, are invited to be there.
No crisis ... just an invitation. Now,
that is unique.

W ashPIRG Networking to Effect Change
by Todd HudizJc
WashPIRG Campus Organizer
With the rapid changes that take place
daily in our society, it is increasingly difficult to be well-informed, contributing
citizens. It is important to be
about the complexities of public policy
because governments, corporations and
other institutions affect every facet of our
lives from families to health and consumer buying.
WashPIRG serves a valuable educational function by having students
research and act on the various issues involved in public policy. It expands the
educational opportunities of a student
here at Evergreen by providing hands-on'
experience in grassroots politics. It offers
the student an opportunity for both personal and professional growth. They
learn how the political process works,
they run the organization, and they come
to understand the role of a citizen in a
democracy. Most importantly, they accomplish something.
Toxic waste cleanup became a
WashPIRG issue early this fall after three
years of inaction on the part of the
legislature in addressing the state's problem of over 150 identified contaminated
hazardous waste sites. Last quarter the
Evergreen chapter ofWashPIRG helped
the Citizen's Toxics Cleanup Campaign
collect over 215,000 signatures on Initiative 97 to put it before the state
legislature this session. If the legislature
does not pass it into the law, then it will
go on the ballot in November to let people have their say. WashPIRG, as a statewide organization, collected over a
quarter of all the signatures for Initiative
97. The students of this stiite helped get
the toxics problem addressed while learning community organizing and advocacy skills .
The Evergreen chapter will continue to
work on Initiative 97 this quarter by turning Evergreen students out for a statewide Lobby Day for Initiative 97 at the
Capitol on February 2. This is an effort
to pass Initiative 97 now, in the
leR'islature. instead of waitinlr until

be looking to network with any other
organizations which have already done
work on this issue to help stop this legislation .
The local chapter will be
generating letters to the Forest Service
urging them not to cut down all of the remaining old-growth forests in the state.
A couple of these activities will be cosponsored by other organizations .
The most important thing the chapter
will be doing this quarter is making sure
that the opportunities provided through
the WashPIRG chapter now are here for
students over the next two years. They
will be working to re-affirm support for
the chapter here at Evergreen through a
petition drive and referendum vote
scheduled for later this quarter.
The chapter is making an effort to
work on a wide variety of projects that
deal with student's concerns. They are
providing a vehicle for the students of
Evergreen to have an impact on the

November, and will be a rallying point
for the environmental community and
citizen's lobbies of the state.
The local board also decided earlier
this quarter to take on three other issues
all of which were the concerns of man;
students. They plan to follow up the work
they did last spring to ban the use of
styrofoam on campus by writing letters
to local restaurants asking them not to use
styrofoam. Letters from the community,
or more drastic direct action may be in
order if they do not agree, while good
publicity awaits them if they do.
Many students also have expressed
their concern over standardized testing
and the Master Plan . so W:lshPTRr. will

public policy decisions that affect their
lives.
WashPIRG is effective because they
use a lot of people, not a lot of money.
There will be a general interest meeting
of the local Chapter tonight, Thursday,
the 28th of January , at 5:00 pm, in LIB
2100 to introduce more people into the
different project groups.
Get involved and take part a part in
changing what is happening around you.
Whether it be a half-hour a week or an

time will prove to be a valuable learning
experience. For more information, call

Robert AckerQian, a.k.a. 'Doctor Bob'
Here is this week's co ntribution rrom
Darrel Riley , our roving interviewer.
STUDENT: Robe r! Ackerman, aka
"Do('tor Bou"
HOMETOWN: Corycllln, Indiana
STATUS: Junior
PROGRAM : Math e matica l Sy ste ms
Bob Ackerman is scary. Som etimes his
thinking al}d mine are so sim ilar, it' s as
though we use one brain which manifests
it se lf through two bodies. H ave you ever
tired to int erv ie w yourself? You can anticipa te what th e questions are , why they
are being asked. and where the conversation will go. Th e re is no way of sneakin g in unexpected questions . In addition ,
Bob is at least as fri e ndl y a nd happy as
I am , a lthough not as talkative. The
moral for this inten'iew seems to be: if
yo u wa nt to ha\'e a good interview subject. don ' t choose someone so similar to
you that yo u wonder if yo u can't accuse
each other or behavioral plagiarism.
" Doctor Bob" work s as a co mputer
consult a nt in the co mpute r lab. He loves
getting problems a t work because he has
a " knack for proble m so lving. " That,
coupled with his friend lin ess, makes him
a big hit with the use rs. " But I try not
to spend so mu ch tim e in the computer
lab that I bec om e it co m pu tel' nerd."
Howeve r , he lIa ~ methodically tried
a lm ost eve ry piece of software available
to him , and is rapidly becoming ex pe rt
on a variety of program s. H e a lso
a uth ored a n a rti cle in the latest is sue of
GffXiuck Corllputing a bo ut wh a t it is like to
be a computer co nsu lt a nt between the
hours or midnight a nd fo ur in the
mornmg.
His sense of humor is we ll -known and
pops up a t un ex pected tim es . While o ne
C rim e-watch one night he showed so me
rrie nd s and I how he comm unicated via
walki e-talkie to the dispatcher. After the
rourth time he h ad radioed in without a
res pon se, hi s ove rl y rra ntic attempts to
achieve so me coml1lunication made
eve ryo ne aro und cry with laughter.
Rut th ere is a se riou s side to Bob as
well. "When I as k how people are, I care
ho w th ey a nswey . J ta ke m y respons ibliti es se riously, I just don ' t take myselr
. seriously . J want tf) cnnt r ibl.lt e someth ing
12 to th e' «(lIlIIIIII"it; III .I! 1 .1 111 in. One way

I can do that IS by volunteering for
Crime-watch. I would like to do more but
between my schoolwork and working as
a computer co nsultant and math instructor in the math lab I just don ' t have the
time."
His serious approach to life showed up
in his reasons ror coming to Evergreen.
, 'I like kids and I hope to be a math
teacher. I went to night-school at Indiana
State University to get my teacher's certificate , but I didn't feel like I was learning much. I researched colleges, and
Evergreen's philosophy of education impressed me the most. I was attracted by
the interviews with the students in the
catalogue; they voiced the same concerns
about education as I have. But what clinched it for me was Dr. Olandar's statement that, 'Evergreen isn't a school
w here notes.. pass from the papers of the
professors to the papers of the students
without going through the heads or
e ith er.' At Indiana State I saw a teacher
hand out the answers to a test one day
before the test so that the class could catch
up to her syllabus. When students expressed concern about not learning the
material, she said there wasn't enough
tim e to teach it all.
" I hoped Evergreen would re-establish
my fa ith in higher educat ion. I wanted
a school where I would be interested
e nough not to skip class and so have more
time with the instructor . I also wanted to

get a better understanding of math in
general. Evergreen has fulfilled those expectation s. I've bee n very impressed by
th e math labs 'physicalization' of the
m a thematical concepts . I've learned how
to deal with people, especially in the
seminars, and I believe that dea ling with
people teaches us how to practice a better democracy."
Of course no place is totally perfect and
Bob has a gripe about Evergreen. "If I
eve r catch the person setting off the fire
alarms in 'A' dorm I am going to think
of someth in g nasty to do to them." But
Bob's idea of something nasty is pretty
mild. H e stopped doing Tae Kwon Do
because it was too competitve and
violent. "I don't appreciate viole nce; it's
not my style. If I have the time I would
like to take something like Aikido, but so
far I've been too busy to consider it."
Bob is an a vid reader, although he has
tried to limit himself to reading two books
ror pleasure a week. For the last six years
he has worked at a vari e ty of jobs, inlcuding managing a drug store and as a
re porter for a school newspaper. His biggest regret is that he doesn' t have the time
to do all the things he would like to, like
drama. Butdon't be surprised if you see
him walking in a beret around campu s
singing Stevie Wonder songs; one day
our brains will be confused about which
things are still separate and which make
us completely the same'

HOMETOWN: Ewa, Hawaii/Yelm,
Washington
POSITION: Coordinator of Student
Leadership Programs

I chose Cheryl Henderson-Peters to interview because she was recommended
by the head of the University of
Washington's Talent Search Program as
a person with high honor, intelligence,
and a commitment to doing the "right
thing ."
His admiration for her was so great
that I became curious to know what kind
of person inspired such accolades. Before
she and I began our talk, one thing
became immediately obvious; her innate
sense of courtesy and graciousness. We
sat for almost an hour and she gave no
signs of being worried about the time I
was taking, even though I knew from her
schedule that she was very busy. At one
point in our converstaion she said that she
wanted to change other people's impress ion of her as high-s·t rung. I found that
part of the discussion ironic since she was
very relaxed during the time we were
together. If the people who think she is
high strung were to meet me, they would
have a nervous breakdown!

She was puzzled about why I wanted
to talk to her. "I don't have any secrets.

I'm vulnerable, I wear everything on the
au tside. I think I take the time to talk to
people." She also felt that she was wellex posed by her contacts with the student
organizations . But she recognized that
the overall student populace might not
have had an opportunity to meet her.

When she started her college and working career, her initial interestes were
mainly in womens' issues. "But the
movement left out a number of women
I felt were very important-mainly
women of color like myself. The movement should include a commitment to the
common good. That means exercising an
understanding of the system, and gaining access to they system." In her desire
to understand a common good; she
broadened her work to include women,

Cheryl Henderson-Peters, left, consults with colleague Kathy Ybarra

I asked her what perception of her she

'Nuts'
Emotional,
Controversial
By Sh eila Pullen
In this movie , Barbara Streisa nd
'creates a believable rela tionship between
the viewer and her character with wit and
emotion that provokes questions about
the court system and blatantly challenges
the a ttitudes and prejudices within the
law .
Streisa nd 's charac ter , Cl a udia , fights
for he r right to sta nd tria l on a mu rder
c harge by proving her own sanit y against
th e wishes of her family .
T he movie uses flashbacks to reveal the
secre ts that are an importa nt pa rt of
C laudia's development as a believable
character . It has an seriou s emotional effec t upon the viewer. Tom Toper skillfully adapted his play for Striesand , while
Martin Ritt 's expertise helped to mold
and draw emotional impact through all
as pects of the movie.
T he most obviou s question is that of
soc iety 's attempt to shun those in dividuals who are uncompromising in
their indiv idual freedoms a nd choices.
" N uts" is not only wh at is see n on th e
sc ree n bu t also a socia l sta te ment about
issues which include prostitution , incest,
rape, psychiatric ev alu ati on and the
limits tha t society places on wom en.
The o nl y drawback is the abse nce of
the direct laughter that was prese nt in the

Jumping) Jamming
by Sheila Pullen
" Who and what are 'The Ducks'?"
This was a question I asked when excited
Evergreeners jumped around saying
" The Ducks are coming, The Ducks are
coming." At first I thought they meant
the basketball team from Oregon, who
were in Seattle, but I was quickly told
" No, the Evergreen Ducks . " I soon
found out that The Ducks are an
Evergreen tradition and have a loyal
following.
I found The Ducks setting up equipment in an old style tavern . The 4th Ave.
Tavern has an interesting and well stocked bar, and the usual pool table and
games. This didn't seem to be a place to
assemble all the fans I had met, but a
transformation took place as the 4th Ave .
turned into a lively dance hall . To my
surprise it accomodated the continuou s
influx of people.

According to The Ducks drummer and
voca list Wayne "Pooner" Elise , the
g roup was started in 1979 here in Olympia . Along with Beth, the lead vocalist ,
they started to develop a following around
campus and have played for several
Super Saturdays . Pooner says that they
have stayed in the Northwest and have
concentrated on arranging music to
plea se Northwest audiences, not on hit -

ting it big or putting a lot into an album .
They enjoy what they are doing and
feel that doing a good gig that pays
reasonable money is enough for right
now . The band is expanding to other
states and will soon play at Sun Valley,
Idaho. The Ducks will be followed there
by some groupies who have become good
friends. That is a good indication of the
appeal that they have developed to exGreeners .
"Pooner" is an unusal name and there
is a mystery over what it means. Wayne
gave a story of an over-sexed friend that
he knew but then brushed that off with
another reason for the name . We may
never know the truth, but I felt he enjoyed the mystery of it.
The music they play is selected for the
audience that they are performing for at
any given time . That gives the band a
greater selection to choose from , including hits and original mu sic from the
sixties to the eighties .
The Ducks played, jumped and
motivated a large group Friday and
Sa turday night to move to the music . As
I the night ClOSecl, the group was still enthusiastic . We all hope to see The Ducks
back at Evergreen soon.
For those who can't wait until June,
The Ducks will be back at the 4th Ave
Taversn on Fripay and Saturday, March
4 and 5 .

While watching TV at a fnend s
house, I came across a dance program
(MTV's Club MTV) that featured "live"

entertainment.
The band performing on this particular
show was Men Without Hats, one of my
friend's favorite bands. I told him to drop
w hat he was. doing so he could come and
watch. When he did, we were disappointed to learn that the band was lipsyncing their current hit, Pop Goes The
World.
It's easy to understand the marketing
strategy behind the concept of having .a
band stand up and quietly move their
mouths in time with the music . THe
strategy is being that if you can con the
public into believing the bands sounds as
"perfect" live as on their recordings,
then you can clean up on the concert tour
circuit. But I consider lip syncing to be
as much a fraud as Classic Coke or SDI.
The dance program was only the latest
example of fraudulent " live" entertai~­

perform live. But I feel I was ripped off
because some TV exec or concert promoter felt the public wasn't ready for the
"real thing."
There have been a few occasions where
I attended a concert during which the
band did not sound a~ "clean" as their
albums. But at least they tried . And don't
think that I am specifically singling out
Club MTV because most of the other
shows American Bandstand and Solid Gold
do the same thing . Nor am I criticizing
music videos for the same practice,
because most of them are plot orientated .
I just feel that if a band is going to stand
up in front of a crowd of fans, then we
should hear what is coming out of their
mouths, and from their souls, not a tape
b ein g piped through the P .A. systems.

The following
white space is
for Jason&Polly:

Relief doesn't describe the depth
Calderon has put into each unique structure . At first the images seem to restrict ,
but the interaction within the many layers
of material a nd the intricate design
c'r eates a balance between the natural and
unnatural e lements that invites
investigation .
Symbolism prevades the work and
adds a taste of mystery about the vision
behind each creation .
"Among the shapes I use are the
human heart, cross , coffin, and missile ."
Seemingly aged, the work is not locked
into any particular time or place, thus
enabling the viewer to " draw responses
to the work from personal experiences ,"
says Mark Calderon.

Aids Myths Circulating
by Larry John Davenport

The stra nger thrust his la rge, coalstained hands into the deep blue pockets
of his N avy pea coa t, fighting his way
throu gh the wind and the rain towards
the Grey Whale Inn . H aving left his
wa tch cap aboard ship , his long blonde
hair whipped furiou sly in the wind. He
e ntered the pub , found a n empty booth
near the back . a nd took ofT his coat
revealing the uniform of a merchan;
seaman .
The only other person in the room was
a young blonde girl who was sitting on
a stool , quietly polishing glasses. Sh e
looked at the stra nger and asked , " Wot
ca n I get for ya?"
With a slight Scottish accent , he
orde red a pint of beer , a cup of tea, and
a packet of chocola te biscuits.
-

She brought the stranger flis order , and
walked back to her stool , hoping that he
would notice her bum . But he didn't.
Without a word he removed an ivory
comb from his coat pocket, and dipped
it into the glass of beer. He began to
comb his hair, snagging the comb 's teeth
in the rat's nest, and bursting pimples on
the back of his neck . When he finished
he appeared to be even younger than th~
barmaid had suspected.
He returned the comb to its place ,
poured a small amount of tea into the
saucer, and blew the steam away from the
small china plate. Judging to to have
cooled sufficiently , he brought the saucer
to his lips , and si:pped .
The Earl Grey was liquid heaven. It
had been fou r long years since his last cup

of tea, making due with the wine and ale
that he bought in the ship's store. He
repeated the ritual over and over again ,
pausing from time to time to savor a
biscuit. He ordered a second, and then
a third cup, before the whistle sounded
reminding him that his ship would soo~
set sail for Canton, to trade opium for
tea. It was murder to be a seaman on the
tea run, because only the officers were
allowed to indulge in sampling the cargo.
Many a night he dreamt of the day he
would retire , and open up his very own
tea shop in Aberdeen. But after ten years
a t sea , he had barely saved enough
money to send home to his parents' farm .
But still , someday his dream would come
true . He tossed a shilling to the woman ,
a nd walked out into the night. back to th,.
ship . Someday would have to wait.

J..

by Jeremy S. Morrison

Certain events , as they become
established in the public consciousness,
accrue to themselves an order of meaning that is mythological . They are
mythological because memory is lost that
the event had a beginning. The event
ceases to fuction in a historical context,
and feeds instead into a we)) of
mythologized sentiment awaiting a
narrative . It should not be surprising that
an event comprising sex and death would
be immediately mythologized . The appearance of AIDS has been precisely such
an event.
Mythologies arise in part to sustain irreconcilable dualities . The mythologies of
AIDS are a bunch of such dualities . For
example , the virus is almost never portrayed as a biological agent. It is usually
portrayed in vague terms that lead one
to . believe that it is somehow
me taphysically (read, "morally") linked
to erotic play. Yet, at the same time, the
virus is emphatically seen as a biolgocial
agent , one which is perpetrated against
an innocent victim by an evil source . The
New York Times, for example, in its
coverage of "Patient Zero" (the Canadian airline steward who has been linked to 40 of the first '200 cases of AIDS)
speaks of him as "(using) his good looks
a nd his French-Canadian accent to lure
h a ndsome American men . " Not just
men, but " handsome " men, and not just
h a ndsom e men , but handsome
·JAMERICAN men. (This from a
\
~ h ewspaper that feels itself above carrying
a co mics page or a horoscope .)
The simple precautions that can pre~
vent transmission are lost sight of, as is
the fact that there is a universe of
eroticism that does not involove penetration or semenlblood exchange . Sex is further por trayed as something one does to
a nother; eroticism becomes a dark space
haunted by victimization and death .
Another duality that is sustained by the
mainstream press is the "gay disease" vs.
" the universal scourge " mythologies .

Closely allied to these are the "punishment" vs. "the call for compassion"
mythologies. The former has been a particularly thorny one for exploitation by
the right wing. To fIX blame on a particular disease and the population, you
must maintain a rigid identification between the disease and the population . Yet
if you want to provoke a punitive fury
against that population, you must
demonstrate that everyone is endangered,
at which point the initial indentification
with the scapegoated population begins
to unravel. The press has been full of 5
and 10 year projections of the to)) of
AIDS; these projections rarely take into
account changing behaviors in the gay
community or the declining rate of the
multiplication of the disease that has been
a result of these changes. Once more the
disease bc-comes a fate, or even a selfwilled demon. Once more the reality that
one can excercise choices to avoid contracting the virus is lost. In this climate,
it becomes easy to sustain a call for harsh
exclusionary measures, such as quarantine and testing at the borders. The realit y is that no matter how widely a net is
thrown, it is not going to catch everybody
who carries the virus. People are going
to need to be responsible for their sexual
choices, choices the mainstream media
rarely concede even exist .

While there has not been an air'tight
identification made between AIDS and
gay man (i .e . all AIDS is not seen as gayrelated), the opposite has very nearly
been achieved; (all things gay are seen as
AIDS related.) We can see how this has
been accomplished by looking at an
obituary page when treating the death of
a famous gay man; the information that
he was gay is withheld unless he died of
AIDS. If gay men only die of AIDS, then
clearly they allhave AIDS . It is thus easy
to maintain the mythology of a "just
punishment" or nature ' s "awful retribution , " in the words of ex-Presidential
word-smith Pat Buchanan.

Meanwhile the other side of this myth
marches serenely along. The press, in its
lavish portrayal of a universe of gay sufferers and non-gay service providers ignores the fact that the gay community has
mobilized admirably and largely taken
care of its own. The mythology behind
"the cause for compassion" has a malignant potential: a victim population
becomes a ward of the state. In this context it should be recalled that, in part, the
rationale for interning the Japanese during World War II was "for their own
protection. "

'Most of the discourse about AIDS
has been so much erotophobia and
homophobia '

This has been an examination of just
some of the most blatant irrationality that
has surrounded some simple biological
realities : l)AIDS is caused by a bloodborne virus; 2)Semen is a blood product;
3)the rectum is one of several direct
routes into the blood stream . Most of the
discourse about AIDS has been so much
erotophobia and homophobia, with very
little about the bare facts. AIDS has
become a decor, a setting; it provides a
narrative for the vague and preverbial
anxiety, terror and loathing that people
feel towards their own sexuality and that
of others.
There is an adage about the dogbiting- man not being news which seeks
to assure us that the press abhors banality. The reality has been that-at least
regarding coverage of AIDS-the press
has distinguished itself with a stupefying
example of this. For the unreflected reinforcement of tired mythologies is nothing
but a lethal banality.
