Editor's note:
This issue was planned to be the
Native American culture issue.
However, when our communIty
was shaken two weeks ago by sexual violence against women, it
became apparent that a close look
at the subject was needed sorely,
and soon.
Consequently, this issue is a lot
of things. Our Cover Story is on
rape·-where it come~rom and
how we can fight it-·and was
bravely penned by our production
assistant, Meredith Cole.
We also have an interview with
Andy Wilbur, local . Native
American carver. Andy worked
with Greg Colfax on the Welcome
Pole near the Library Loop, and
shared many interesting ideas
with interviewer Rhys Roth.
Our OpinionEditorial section is
simply bristling with thought this
week. Don't miss Bret Lunsford's
scathing assessment of Ever·
green's current decision· making
structures. Look also for Ben
Tansey's impressions of the
Native American study group,
and Eric Kuhner's poetic diatribe
on ...well, a lot of things.
For those who care, I've briefly outlined my position on military
advertisements, the CPJ's policy,
and who, in fact, should be the
directing body of this publication,
on page 16.
We will be presenting a full·
fledged, special issue on the
Native American community ear·
ly next quarter. If you are in·
terested in working on this project, come see us soon.
I would like to remind people
that we will have several staff
openings next quarter; if you can
write, paste up, take pictures,
type, or drive a car, please con·
sider working with us. Workstudy students are especially encouraged to apply. Come and see
us!
Have a safe and happy
Thanksgiving·-and remind your
parents to buy a subscription to
the entertaining and edifying
CPJ.

Ad
Editor,
Sorry to see you are faced with the old
dilemma of whether to print the advertisement of groups with which you are
philosophically at odds. I tried to formulate
an' argument to defend your refusal of the
military advertisement, but I couldn't come
up with anything that would survive critical
scrutiny. The CPJ is arguably a public
forum and even a radical militarist group
like the U.S. Marines or The Aryan Nations
has the right to the advertising space.
However, you as editor have the power
to make the CPJ an unfavorable kiosk for
extremist views and ads. Simply juxtapose
the extremist (military or whatever)
material with graphics and copy that point
clearly and cuttingly at the wrongness. Surround an ad for the Marines, for example,
with an editorial explaining why military
service is morally reprehensible, and adjoin
a cartoon which effectively rebukes
militarist mentality.
Your duty as editor of a public forum is
to see that every person and group can use
your pages for their soapbox. Your
privilege as editor is to set the tone of the
paper. Your right (in my view 'duty') as a
rational person is to oppose the radical
militarists who have assumed control of the
Federal Government.
Don't censor the things you oppose; put
spotlights on them and decry their
stupidity.
All the best,
Matt Mero
Alumni '84
CPJEditor:
There is a case to be made for economic
freedom. Noone is required to do anything
just because someone offers money to do
it. I argue that this holds for the CPJ as
well as for individuals;
Anyone in this community should have
the right to publish articles in the CPJpromoting anything they wish, including the
armed forces. To argue otherwise is to promote censorship and limit freedom of
speech.
The attempt to extend this right to the
purchase of advertising space by the armed forces is indefensible. The CPJ, if it
chooses, has every right to refuse to be
bought. Advertising can be and is
regulated. The CPJ should be commended
for exercising its discretionary powers.
There may well be good arguments for
running armed forces advertisements. As
pointed out by Gregory Yeager, "someone
might feel threatened. " Maybe this would
increase awareness about the threat of the
armed forces. But such arguments cannot
be based on any inherent right to advertise.
Eric Kuhner
Editors of the CPJ:
I have a few thoughts in reference to the
"No-Navy" issue introduced in the
November 6 Cooper Point JournaL I find
it unsettling, but not surprising, that
, Evergreen students would be so mortally
offended by an ad that preaches an alternative viewpoint to the college norm.
I'm no fan of the military myself, but I
do see a First Amendment issue here, an
issue I believe the courts would most likely rule in favor of the Navy.
I feel the most important item in this case
is the Social Contract, the document on
which the decision not to run the ad was
based. Chapter 8 of the contract states:
"There may be no discrimination at
Evergreen (emphasis mine) with respect to
race, sex, age, handicap, sexual orientation,
religious or political beliefs or national
origin in considering individuals' admission, employment or prorrwtion (emphasis
mine)."
~
First, the problem of discrimination is not
"at Evergreen," it is within the U.S.
Defense Department.
Second, the Navy's stand does not affect
"admission, employment, or promotion,"
here at Evergreen. These are the things
that the college's policy are designed to protect, not the rights of homosexuals who
desire the military life.
There are at least six other chapters in
the Social Contract that may be applied to
this situation. All tend toward the propublishing stand. Chapter 11, perhaps the
most famous part of the Social Contract
reads, "Evergreen does not stand in loco
parentis (in place of parents) for its
. members."
To me that means we have the right to
look at something and decide for ourselves
if it's wrong, rather than having that decided for us by the editors of the CPJ or
anyone else.
If you're interested in further studying
the contract, check out chapters 1,5,9, 12,
and 13 in addition to the chapters I cited
here. The contract is printed in the student
handbook ana is available at the reference
desk in the library.
We're supposed to be adults: Let's start
acting like it now, or else a lot of psychos
will crack when exposed to the cold wind
ofreality.lt can be an ugly world out there
and the sooner we realize that, the sooner
we can get on with making it more
tolerable. Evergreen's ostrich tactics can't
work forever.
Sincerely,
Dave Peterson
P.S. For those who may believe my position at the newspaper as an advertising
assistant prejudices me against the idea of
running fewer ads, I wish to point out that
I get paid regardless of the number of ads.
And if the college were to suddenly turn
against organic food, the CPJ boycotting
Food Co-op ads, my reaction would be the
same as towards the Navy ad.
Letter to ,t he Editor:
I think the CPJ's refusal to run military
ads is great. Even though I used to be on
the Board of Directors of the Pierce County ACLU, I don't see that many 1st amendment ramifications around this particular
situation. The Supreme Court over 30 years
ago ruled that commercial advertising,
which I feel military ads mainly are, isn't
as protected as political speech. Therefore,
there are many different kinds of speech
and expression all with varying degrees of
protection.
P.S. I like the new format.

~The
Freshmen
Dear Jennifer,
I am not in the habit of responding to
newspaper articles, but thought that it was
time to do so because of the elitist attitudes
articulated in your analysis of the '86
freshmen. I would like to comment on some
of the observations reported by you, even
though I know that your analysis was based partially on the time-honored sorority
ritual of dumping on the freshman class .
In brief, your lack of tolerance for differences does reveal itself in your analysis
of the situation with the freshmen. FoJ' ex.ample, you ch~terized the freshman

and herd-like mentality. Well, many of us .

article, we were dismayed to fmd several
elTors iIi it. Amy Lynn Parker wrote,
"whenever the women reach(ed) a spot
where a woman had been abducted the
whole group held their candles 'u p and joined hands." First, we feel it must be made
clear that to our knowledge no women have
been abducted from the Evergreen'campus;
they have, however, been assaulted and
raped. Secondly, some women held hands
throughout the march and women often
raised their candles spontaneously. Ms_
Parker continued, "this act erased some of
the overwhelming fear some of the women
had been feeling." We are sobered by the
thought that although many women told us
they felt empowered by this march, we
regret that it could not entirely eliminate
the fear. That can only happen when we are
all safe from violence against women.
We also take issue with the headline of
Bob Allen's article in last week'& CPJ: "100

We suggest that a better title would have
been "100 Volunteer to Make Evergreen
Safer."
We were not present at the men's discussion group since that was a time for the men

The grammar has improved but the basis
is the same -- hate and fear.
So, what is happening here on our campus? A woman hater, a rapist is on the
prowl and has caused strong emotions to
surface in many people. Fear. anger,
distrust, frustration, outrage.
So the "Take Back The Night March"
was organized (a very good idea and a
potentially powerful statement). But only
a part of the people who are feeling the fear,
anger, distrust, frustration and outrage
were allowed to participate. Men, all men,
were excluded no matter what their feelings on the subject. Why were they excluded? Solely because of their sex. Who decided to exclude all men? Sadly, I suspect, it
was the minority (hopefully minority) manhater faction on campus who eventually
took control of the march_
Unfortunately, it appears that we are letting ourselves be controlled and led by the
haters on campus. Controlled by the people who let fear and hate be their prime
motivation. Of course, it is natural to have
strong emotions rise up when our fellow
humans are attacked and raped in out community. But· is reacting to hate and prejudice with hate and prejudice really what
we want to do?
Where are all the peace-loving people

What has happened to all the talk of unity

Please, let's not be led by haters. Let's

Love is unity. In unity is where real
power lies.
Where is the love? We are working to find
it, that is why we are here.

Lyrics
Dear Editor:
Ben Spees' response to Amy Parker's article on rock lyrics (CPJ, October 31) was
partly right, and partly wrong. He was
right in pointing out the common confusion
of author with protagonist (though he could
have strengthened his argument considerably had he used a woman's writing,
not Ellison's, as an example). Some musicians do intend to honify the listener by the
use of the first person: Dobkin's Pink Floyd
quote in which the singer wants his "babe"
in order to put her "though the shredder"
in front of his frien~s is from "The Wall,"
a two-record documentary on self-loathing
and despair; and the Who's most chilling
misogynist line, "Who is she?fl'll rape it"
is put in the mouth of a frustrated teen-age
good-for-nothing stoned out of his mind on
amphetamines and about to commit suicide.
Both examples are clearly intended to illustrate how low one can sink. But I have
to disagree with his defense of the Rolling
Stones: there isn't a single shred of
evidence to show Mick Jagger feels
anything for a woman, or any human being,
except the cruelest sort of smug contempt.
Countless Stones songs, best typified by
"Under My Thumb," are exactly what they
sound like -- gloating, malicious struts. One
might disagree with this, but how can
anyone explain the infamous "Black and
Blue" ad campaign (the bound and beaten
woman claiming that she "loves it" on
billboards across the country) as an admirable piece of fIrst-person expose? Spees
makes a good point, but goes too far in
crediting all rock musicians with good
intentions.
Spees' identification of Ellison as a "vocal
feminist," though certainly not one Ellison
would argue with, also moves me to comment. I wish it were more widely known
how it makes some women wince to hear
a man, however, pure of heart, describe
another man (or himself) as "feminist." No
man has ever had fIrst-hand experience of
even the most simple, "minor" oppressions
women have been putting up with for
literally ages; a man who wishes to show
support for the feminist cause ca~ call
himself a "pro-feminist" without fear of offending, but the appropriation of the term
"feminist" without qualification comes
across as alTogant indeed! I don't mean to
speak for feminists here, but this is how it
was explained to me, and it makes sense.
Sincerely,
John Cooper

The subject of rape is a difficult one for most of us to deal with.
But closing our eyes to it doesn't make it disappear. Because of
the recent attacks on campus we, as a community, have been forced
to recognize this reality and respond to it.
We cry in disbelief that our sacred community has been "invaded." We assume that we are exempt from such possibilities.
Because we are an aware community, we understand these things.
Yet, how many of us really are comfortable with our own
knowledge on the subject of rape? How many of us are aware that
a lot of rapes occur on this campus each year?
Not all forms of sexual assault can be discussed in this article
due to space limitations, such as child and teen abuse, incest, male
victims, and pornography. This is, however, a beginning-a place
where we can begin to open our eyes to the issue of rape by examining the facts.
Rape is a crime of power and violence, the motivation of which
is the desire to control and dominate another human being. It is
not, as myth would have it, an uncontrollable sexual passion.
Rape is the most commonly commited and fastest growing
violent crime in America, occuring once every three minutes. Once
in three girls will be sexually abused by the time they are 18, and
one in five boys, according to statistics by the Harborview Medical
Center in Seattle. One in three adult women will be raped at some
time in their life and one in seven women will be raped by their
spouse.
Eighty percent of all rapes are acquaintance rapes, where the
offender is known by the victim. More than 50% of all rapes occur
in either the victim's or the offender's home.
These facts are quite contrary to the common myths that rapes
are isolated incidences and that women are most vulnerable when
they are walking alone at night. In addition, we tend to generalize
rape as a physically violent act where a struggle occurs, when in
actual fact victims are injured in about 30% of all rape cases, and
seriously injured less than 2% of the time. Only about one in ten
rapes are ever reported.
By accepting these myths we perpetuate rape.
Stranger Rape
We all know the scenario: A 200 pound madman with a knife
jumps out of the bushes and rapes the victim. Women fear the
thought of this happening to them. They fear walking alone at
night. Yet these fears come from myths that are perpetuated by
our society; these crimes happen, but not very often. These
misleading, potentially dangerous myths produce fear that is out
of proportion to the actual risk, inhibit practical measures such
as self-defense, and empower potential rapists.
We risk teaching our children the wrong message when we warn
them away from dark alleys and strangers. It is much more likely that they will be assaulted by a friend or relative in a private
home.
However, stranger rape does account for a large number of rapes
nationwide and it is an issue of concern for women and men alike.
In some ways, being raped by a stranger is less painful than
-..0 being raped by a friend. Lynn Grotsky of Safeplace, a counselor
• specializing in sexual assault, says "It's somewhat safe for the

can get the anger out and in a way she can get through it faster

Acq:oaintance rape
"You say 'no,' and he starts guilt-tripping you; that's what acquaintance rape is all about. It happens all the time, especially
on college campuses.
"I t happens (whenever) women are coerced into having sex -when 'no' isn't respected," says Lynn Grotsky of Safeplace.
We tend to associate rape with a physically violent attack, so
when an acquaintance rape occurs, we don't always recognize it
as an assault.
Rape is motivated by a desire to control and dominate another
person. If sex, being the manifestation of this control, can be
achieved by verbal manipulation, then physical violence may never
actually occur.
The feelings the victims experience are, however, similar to
those of a woman who has been attacked by a stranger. Lynn says,
"She may feel uncomfortable, maybe dirty, maybe humiliated, and
confused, often times realiy confused and feeling manipulated, but
not knowing why."
Another response, which is exclusive to acquaintance rape, is
a feeling of betrayal. One woman who was raped by her boyfriend
said, "It was devastating that a person who I had trusted in a
relationship for so long would attack me."
Rape is a condition of a sexist society-a society where all institutional forms of power are male dominated. Acquaintance rapes
are very rarely prosecuted, for example. There are no legal
grounds on which to prosecute against someone who has verbally
coerced a woman into having sex, a tactic which is taught to males
as proper behavior by other institutions.
Even thoug~ most of us would agree that rape is a violation,
many would disagree that verbal manipulation is a form of rape.
Ka~maya Saldam, author of Our Women Keep Our Skies From
Fall.tng, states, "Most of us men will admit that rape is wrong
and if pressed, many of us will admit, at least to ourselves if not
to o~?er~, t?at we have forced or coerced a woman. But the pro~abllity 18 high that few of us would admit that what we have done
IS rape, even t~oug~ our actions eff~ctively suppressed the sexual self-determmatIon of those women whom we coerced."
. The most ~cult proble~ ~e face in ending acquaintance rape
~ that our society condones It m most of its forms, especially when
It occurs between married or cohabitating couples.
"As long as male domination exists rape will exist" says Kalamy
y~ S~laam, "the first place to stop rape is, of cours~, at home and
WIthm our organizations."
.
we are. yo~ng." She then ~d?s, "If women believe that what they
ar~ domg IS wrong, that It IS really their fault, then they're not
~omg to fight back~ they're n~~ going to stand up, they're not gomg to really try to stop the VIOlence that is happening because
they bla~e themsel~es--and that's why rape goes unreported."
Our society turns Information around so that it works for the
sta~u~ quo and feelings of guilt are taken as admissions of guilt.
This ~ t~ p~rpetuates the myth that women like to be raped:
~he didn t ~eslst so she must have wanted it, and she asked for
It by dressmg that way.
Our society also wants the rape victim to believe that their
assault was an i~olated incident, especially in the case of acquaintan~~ rapes. Thl.s further assists in supporting the male power
posItIon by leavmg the woman with feelings of inadaquacy and
helplessness.
Remembers one rape victim, "Until I realized that I was not
alone, I thought that it was a flaw in my character that I had
chosen a particular person who I thought was caring and who I
thought I w~s ~ love with, but who actually abused me."
F?r ra~e vlctm~s: ~he healing process is long and painful. This
begms With the lI1~tIal responses of confusion, fear, self-blame,
shock, and depreSSIOn. Sometimes physical symptoms also occur
such as all-~ver body soreness or pain in areas that were handled
roughly. Disturbances in sleeping or eating patterns may also
occur.
The woman is continually haunted by her attack which often
.
'
comes. out m dreams and nightmares. One 'rape victim had this
to say: "I've had. s~ch anger and fear for years, thinking that he
could Just go on hvmg and while my life was profoundly affectedso much that a year and a half later I could have a nightmare about
the attack. I later found out that (l had one such nightmare) while
a rape was occuring across campus. I realized that I hadn't really
begun to deal with my own rape and for her the ordeal was just
beginning. "
. Depre.ssion is us?ally another emotional reaction for a rape victim. This depreSSIOn tends to be more extreme for victims of
s~r~ger ra~ and victi~s of continual acquaintance rape than for
VlctunS of a smgle acquamtance rape. Often this depression reaches
unbearable levels.
~~nn says that, "Many times people who've been raped get
SUICidal, and ~hat:s their way of de~g with it. I personally believe
that depreSSIOn IS anger turned mward and if they can get the
anger o~t that they have towards the rapist, then they're probably gomg to be able to work through their depression bettpr"
A rape survivor is abJe, when she confronts the issue of her attack, to work through her emotional and psychological trauma.
She ~an overcome her fear, anxiety, and mistrust of others. It is
pOSSible for her to turn her anger and fear into a positive energy.
She can become confident andself empowering.
The Psychology of the Rapist
As ,!,e become aware of the myths that contribute to sustaining
r~pe m our society, it is important that we are able to replace them
With ~acts. One the most commonly misunderstood forces behind
rape IS recogruzmg who a rapist is.
First ?f all, a rapist looks and acts like anyone else. There are
no phYSical, social, or behavioral traits which make rapists clearly recogn~abl~ ..They come from all backgrounds, regardless of
race, eth~lc ?rlgm, age, ~eligion, or socio-economic class. The one
charactenstIc they hold m common is that they sexually assault
others in order to dominate them.
O~e cannot exactly say why some men rape and others do not.
Rapists seem to be psychologically "normal" men, having only
a greater tendency toward violence and rage than non-rapists.
They do not rape bec.ause of uncontrollable passion. In fact, most
assa~ts are planned m advance and the victim is usually someone
who IS "handy."
Since a rapist assaults to obtain control over another person
he ~sually does n~t want too great a challenge. Often, potential
rapists can be discouraged from raping. Lynn affIrmS that
"Rapists have e~tremely low ~elf-esteem; they're scared of peo:
p!e. So! by standmg up and saYing 'I'm not going to take this and
1m gomg to let others know,' you may greatly frighten him and
for him, you're not a challenge worth taking on."
,
. It.may become necessary for a rapist to increase the violence
m his method of assault in order to achieve his sense of control.
It has. been found that rapists often begin as peeping-toms (possibly
as ~hlldren), then move on to exhibitionism, and later become
rapists.
.
One thing ~hat is almost certain: a rapist will not rape only once.
As long as h~s need to exert control is present, he will rape over
and over agam. However, Lynn points out that "There are therapy
programs throughout the country now to work with sexual offenders. Some are good, others are horrendous."
She does caution, however, that "The only way that a rapist
~l change is if he truly wants to, and very few do. A lot of them
will go through the program as a way to avoid time in prison. There
are few success stories."
.0:
Reporting the crime
There are rape relief and shelter services such as Safeplace and
Thurston County Rape Relief. There is also a 24 hour crisis line
a woman c~ call. These services provide a rape victim an outlet
for her. fe~lin~s. and concerns. She can simply talk on the phone
or ~e~lve mdivld~ counseling. Also available are shelters where
a VICt~ can stay if needed. The campus counseling center is also
an aVaIlable resource.
O~ten, a ~ape vi~tim fears that the rapist will hurt her, rape her
agam, or kill her if she discloses the attack. This fear is usually
generated by threats from the assailant.
;
Usually, a woman is safest if she speaks out. "Statistics show
~hat the number of repeat rapes are low, so he probably isn't gomg to come back and get you again if it is a stranger rape," Lynn
Psychological and Emotional Effects
~pe is a painful, dehumanizing act. The psychological terror and
It s aftermath are extreme.
~ynn e.xplains that. "When a woman is raped, there is a feeling
of mcredible. fear,. a~ if all ~f her control is being taken away from
her. Many times It IS fearmg for her life, especially in a case of
~tranger rape."
When a ~oman is raped it is not her fault. She has done nothing
to provoke It. She has not "asked for it" as the myths would have
us believe. And it's not just men who believe these fallacies. Lynn
says, "We (woI¥n) are taught to buy into those from the time

Governance DTF:
your last chance
Have you ever been frustrated by life at
Evergreen? Do college procedures and decisions confuse you? Have you been upset by
the unfairness of some disciplinary action,
a faculty retention or curriculum decision,
or the workings of the S & A Board?
Students at Evergreen are supposedly
given responsibility for their own educations, and so are given a voice in how the
college is run. This voice may soon be greatly limited.
A student governance DTF has been
formed to determine how students should
participate in college decisions. It will also
address the question of which decisions
students can influence and which they cannot. The DTF held its fIrst meeting on
November 12 and will submit a draft of its
recommendations on December 15. This
gives the DTF a total of four meetings in
which to shape the future of student involvement at Evergreen.
Faculty member Dave Hitchens, a
member of Evergreen's original planning
faculty, suggested at the fIrst meeting that
this may be the last chance for many years
to shape student involvement. He pointed
out that student governance has been very
flexible and changeable for the past 15
years, but that the current administration
may seize upon this as an opportunity to
legitimize and codify the recommendations
of the DTF.
If you care about your education, about
the future of Evergreen, or about your
right to determine how your tuition is being
spent, please come to the remaining two
meetings. They will be held on Wednesday,
December 3 and December 10, from 12-2,
in LIB 2218. This is your last chance.

DRONE to hold first beehive
The whole campus is buzzing about
DRONE (Direct Response On News and
Events), which held its fIrst ever information gathering session on Wednesday, and
its fIrst Beehive today at noon.
The information session was to have been
held in conjuction with the Student Forum,
a weekly gathering to discuss the activities
of the President's Advisory Board and
other committees and DTFs. The forums _
are held weekly in LHI at 10:45, with
DRONE sessions occurring directly after.
The purpose of the sessions is to gather information of interest to students and
distribute it in a personal fashion to each
program or seminar. The Beehive was to
involve people in spontaneous song, dance
and play, and was held to help build a sense
of playful community and to draw attention
to DRONE.
DRONE plans to have at least one person from each program either attend the
weekly information session or pick up a
copy of Buzzword, the weekly DRONE
pUblication, from the SCC. They will then
present this information to their programs
and faculty, possible "at the tail end of each
seminar," as Marc Levine, originator of the
00 DRONE proposal, suggested. So far, he
• says, DRONE has commitments from
\
\
"about 20 people" to attend these sessions
and/or report to their programs.
DRONE hopes to make arrangements
with administrative offices, student groups,
and DTF's to provide information for the
sessions. Yesterday, information was to
have been presented from several DTF's
and from the Financial Aid offIce, as well
as from interested students. Anyone with
information to share is asked to take it to
the SCC, or to ask someone going to the
session to present it.
The goal is to "systematize word of
mouth information," according to Mark,
and to present a broad range of events and
issues. "I hope it will keep programs from
being so isolated from each other," said
another DRONE supporter.
If you are interested in participation in
DRONE, pick up a copy of Buzzword in the
SCC and share it with your program. Make
sure that someone in your program will be
attending the information sessions, and stop
by the SCC if you would like to learn more
about DRONE. The SCC is located on the
second floor of the CAB in the Information
offIce. Don't let next week pass without
cross-pollinating your program with news
from DRONE.

HEC Board
asks questions
The Higher Education Coordinating
Board has begun to develop a Master Plan
for higher education in Washington state.
Below is a list of twelve questions the HEC
board will be discussing in the process.
The questions relate to four major policy
areas: 1) access, 2) quality, 3) fInance, and
4) structure and management.
Evergreen's Strategic Plan is a statement
of our own goals and values; the college's
involvement with developing the Master
: Plan will include sharing these ideas with
the HEC Board.
Joe Olander, in a campus memo, invites
the entire college community to actively
participate in a discussion of these ideas
before he submits a position paper to the
board reflecting his "views as guided by
your responses."
Contact Advisory Board representatives,
listed below, about your answers to the
following questions.
Higher Education Coordinating Board:
Twelve Critical Questions and Schedule
for Campus Discussion
1) On what basis should individual access
to public higher education institutions be
provided and how can such a plan be
enhanced while increasing access for underrepresented minorities?
2) What ro'les and missions should be
assigned the various higher education
institutions?
3) To what extent should educational services be readily available to urban populations, and how should these services be
provided?
4) What policy and principles should guide
recommendations for student tuition and
fees?
5) How can the higher education system
be made more effIcient without reducing
the quality of its products?
"
6) What combination of policies and practices will provide an optimum balance of institutional management flexibility and
public accountability?
7) In order to meet the identified needs,
should enrollment levels be established at
each institution or group of institutions, and
if so on what basis?
8) How should the performance of higher
education institutions be evaluated and by
whom?
9) On what basis should funds be appropriated to public institutions, and how
should an adequate level of support be
determined?
10) What policy and principles should guide
recommendations for funding the student
financial aid program?
' ,
11) How should the linkage between
Washington public higher education and the
economic, social and cultural wellbeing of
Washington citizens be strengthened?
12) What incentives should the state provide so as to increase the effectiveness of
public higher education institutions?
Identified below are your representatives

Tuition may rise
next fall
Tuition costs will rise next fall at
Evergreen by $20 per quarter if the Higher
Education Coordinating Board adopts the
fee schedule it is currently considering for
the 1987-88 school year.
The HEC Board is empowered by the
legislature to determine the overall "cost
of education" and adjust tuition·- students'
contribution to paying the costs -- based on
a fIxed percentage set by the legislature.
Educational costs are determined by expenditure requirements in the way of faculty
and staff salaries, size of plant operations
and maintenance, and the numerous other
costs incurred in operating colleges. Unless
the legislature intervenes, the tuition levels
recommended by the Board will become effective next fall.
This increase would raise tuition at all
public colleges and universities in the state.
The two research universities, Washington
State and the University of Washington,
have somewhat higher levels of tuition and
costs. Evergreen is grouped in with the
regional schools, Eastern, Western, and
Central Washington Universities, while
,costs for the 27 community colleges are
somewhat lower. The increase would put
levels for all three groupings at nearly 300
percent of their 1976-77 levels.
Washington college students were blessed with low and stable tuition levels
throughout the 1970's. During that period
and in prior years, tuition could only be raised by a vote of the legislature. However,
a severe recession hit the state in 1981
when the RepUblican Party was in control
of state government. The Republicans

Salvadoran peace activist speaks
A representative from the FMLN, one of
the groups opposing the current government of EI Salvador, spoke with about 25
students on "The Prospects for Peace in El
Salvador" November 13. The spokesperson, Gustavo Acosta, said that the current
government of Jose Napolean Duarte will
not take the option of a negotiated settlement seriously as long as the U.S. government continues to send arms and advisors
there.
Acosta began his talk by describing the
history of the resistance to the government.
He said that increased opposition to the
government began in the 1970's with the
collapse of the Central American common

market (set up by the United States) and
a war with Honduras. Popular organizations, "mass fronts," formed to oppose the
current government, and in the early 1970's
they started to have candidates run for office. However, the time came when some
realized that armed resistance was
necessary. Mter a coup d'etat overthrew
the government in ~979 and a military junta was set up, the FMLN was formed in
1980. After that, the government started
a campaign of "reforms and repression."
Said Acosta, "The reforms weren't bad in
themselves, but they were set up to delegitimize" the revolution. 60,000
Salvadorans were kjUed, many of them not
members of the front, to create a state of
severely damaged in the quake, with 30%
of the university destroyed. The government has said that they won't fund
rebuilding of the university, according to
Acosta.
A representative from the U.S. Committee in Solidarity with the People of EI
Salvador (CISPES) spoke afterwards on
what U.S. citizens can do to help better the
lives of the Salvadoran people, and to oppose U.S. intervention there. For more information, contact the Peace Center at

The search for Director of Computer Services ended, as President Joe Olander announced the selection of Jim Johnson as the
director November 4. Jim Johnson was
selected because of his performance, and
the overwhelming support for him from
faculty and staff. Jim will be iri charge of
the Administrative area of Computer
Services.
In · his statement, Olander wrote, "I'm
delighted to recognize his (Jim's) dedication,
cooperative spirit, hard work and leadership. I'm confident that Jim will play a
primary role in framing a technological
future for Evergreen that is inclusive,
liberating, and well-reasoned." Many letters have acknowledged and praised Jim's
dedication and good work.
Last year a nationwide search was conducted with several rounds of interviews
to find a candidate, but all were unsuccessful. In June, Jim accepted the duties as
the Acting Director of Computer Services;
he has served in this position four different
times. Jim has moved up through the ranks,
serving Evergreen since 1970.

Parents research
careers for students
N
A
The Career Development Office is launching a new research tool to help
Evergreen students gather more job information and explore career options. PIN
(parent Information Network) is an expansion of the existing ACE (Alumni Career
Educator) program which is currently in
use.
Students who want information about
careers in a particular field now not only
can contact alumni of Evergreen but
parents of Evergreen students as well. According to Program Assistant and creator
of PIN, Maureen Ferguson, "The program
allows students to have an opportunity to
have questions answered by professionals ·
in their field of interest."
Due to a restricted budget, the pilot program will be limited to parents of
graduating seniors who live in Washington
State. However, Ferguson became familiar
with the idea when she herself received a
similar request. "My son in a senior at the .
University of New Hampshire," states

Career Night
planned
Because of the increasing demands from
MP A, MES and Special students who have
full time jobs and attend evening classes
here at Evergreen and cannot take advantage of some of the school's services provided for daytime students, Career
Development has taken steps to better
serve some of their demands. On Thursday,
December 4th, they are holding a Career
Night Open House from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m.
in LIB 1213.
According to the Career Development
staff, they are hoping the Career Night will
provide evening students with some of the
same services that are given to all students.
The Open House can assist all students
with the following services:
CareeJiAcademic Planning: This involves
figuring out your interests, skills and values
related to the world of work.
Job Search .....Advising: Students can discuss
the best strategies for finding a job, including infonnation on how to uncover leads on interesting
but seldom lIdvertised jobs.
Resumes: Bring in a rough draft and have it
critiques. You can also discuss applications, cover
letters, portfolios, and any or all other ways to
present yourself to prospective employers, internship sponsors, and graduate schools.
Graduate School Information: Students can
research graduate programs, financial aid
sources, application processes, obtaining letters
of recommendations, writing letters of intent, and
testing.
These are just some of the areas in which
students can get help. In addition, there are
countless books on career opportunities,
etc. According to a staff spokesperson,
"Career Development will make the decision to schedule more Career Nights after
they see how the first one goes."

Reviewing
the
as
Faculty members from the Science,
Technology and Health (STH) Specialty
Area programs continued to examine
Evergreen's Bachelor of Science degree at
a meeting Wednesday. This internal review
process is part of a broader institutional
curriculum review of the Specialty Area.
Specific questions this group must answer
include:
Is a BS Degree required for some jobs
Evergreen students might otherwise be
qunJ,ified for, such as with the state fisheries
department?
Does a BS degree place too much burden
on planning a curriculum or career
pathway with its upper division credit
requirements ?
Does a BS degree conflict with
Evergreen's interdisciplinary philosophy?
The answers to these questions are
crucial. About a quarter of the student body
are in this Specialty Area's programs, and
a recent survey revealed that a full third
of core program students plan on taking the
STH programs.
"The STH pathway is the most successful
one at Evergreen," said Will Humphreys.
While Humphreys sees good reasons to continue offering a BS degree, he is eager to
correct some problems in it. "The BS was
the fIrst degree offered at Evergreen that
had specific requirements, and this has
created some problems in our planning,"
said Humphreys.
One such problem has been the awarding
of upper-division science credits. Just what
constitutes upper-division work varies from
school to school, but in the past at
Evergreen it has varied from program to
program, teacher to teacher and year to
year.
Faculty member Byron Youtz likes the
BS degree. "It puts the pressure on us and
the students to take upper-division work
seriously," said Youtz.
Youtz offered a good argument for the BS
degree; a student in the 3/2 Engineering
pathway decides to finish at Evergreen and
then go on to study engineering at the
graduate level. This student would need the
BS degree to get into grad school.
"The most likely change will be a clarification of upper division course work in each
program," concluded Humphreys.
"Whatever we decide, we won't change the
BS degree in .midstream."

Native American Carver
•
blends tradition, creation
•
This article is part of a weekly interview series in which the Journal will talk with m.embers of the community who hold diverse
and interesting views, or have specific knowledge which may further understanding of our community and the issues facing it.
This week, Rhys Roth spoke with Andy Wilbur, a local carver,
afather, and Native American. Along with Greg Colfax he carved the Cedar Woman welcome pole at the Library Loop in honor
of the late Mary Hillaire, the founder of Evergreen's Native
American Studies Program.
Rhys: Can you describe your work?
Andy: It's an art business; I've been working on it since I was
13. That gives me about 18 years of experience now. I started in
leatherwork, bead work, went on to basket work, then to carving. The last 11 years I've been carving, basically. Overall, looking back on those 11 years, it's been cultural experience. At the
time I started I had no ideas whatsoever about Northwest Indian
art and in the later years I was introduced to it by elders through
baskets -- gathering basket materials and doing basket work, weaving and such, and later introduced to the carving.
a
Rhys: Was it always learning from more experienced people?
Andy: They give me insight on what seems to be their way of
life. Let's take basketry for instance. It was more or less going
out and gathering the materials that were needed, and that was
done for the elders. It was generally the eldest of the elders that
I was working with. During the time that we gathered the
materials, on our field trips, you might say, I was introduced to
different types of teas and different types of foods that were
available at hand while gathering, say, cedar bark, sweet grass,
cattail, bear grass. Things like that. I was introduced to it only
because they needed me to help gather materials for them.
Later, I stepped into their homes and sat and prepared dinner
for, say, Louisa Pulsifer, probably the eldest of the elders I knew,
who was 96 when she passed away. I used to cook her dinners.
In return, she'd tell me stories or legends, and relate and elaborate
more on the medicines and food resources. Finally, one day she
sat me down and gave me some of her old material -- not any of
her good material, but her old material -- and taught me how to
weave baskets. I was 15 years old then. That was the type of relationship; first you had to learn how to gather, what was good, what
wasn't, before you could even proceed to do the art work itself.
Same with carving or any other type of art.
Rhys: So it was always integrated with other things going on:
stories, learning about herbs and a whole way of life.
Andy: Yes; it seems that the elders' way of teaching the youth
is to draw them into it. They would integrate the stories and
everything else so that we might pass them on later. If they saw
specific interest, then they would give them the help that was
needed by the youth, to bring them up in a way so that they'll
pass it on to the grandchildren and beyond.
Rhys: Are all the materials you use native to the region?
Andy: When it comes to basket work we'll find that there's a raffJa that comes from Hawaii. I asked my grandmother, "You've
got some pretty colors, what do you use to color them?" I figured
she must've used berries, and a little mud, like this. She said, "I
used Kool-Aid here, but if you go get me some mud, and some
of these berries and these leaves and bring them back I'll show
you the right way. But I'm too old to do that anymore and that's
why I like the Kool-Aid." She found it so much easier and she'd
been doing it the hard way all those years. But we went out and
got her mud and berries and things. She showed me how to do that.
I think that we have a responsibility to our Mother Earth here.
We've always related to the Earth as mother and the father, he
was out there somewhere watching over us all. See, we were formed from the Earth.
When we go to the cedar tree, hopefully we'll fmd one down
on the ground for our uses. If we have to fall a specific cedar tree .
for a pole or a canoe, we'll have a ceremony. We'll fall it to the
earth, and before we move the log we have to have another
ceremony. If we don't, we'll get sick -- get sick spiritually, get
sick inside. Some people have been known to die for not having
a ceremony.
Then we work on it, and in that we give her Life again, we give
her a form. We stand her up and we have a ceremony for the life
-- she gave her life, and we give her life again and now she's standing up in front of the Evans Library Loop. She's going to watch
out for us people.
Rhys: Do you mainly draw from your Skokomish tradition, or from
other traditions ... ?
Andy: I draw ftom throughout the whole Northwest. I take in
the Northwest coast. My actual nation is the Twanahs. The

Skokomish was just a band. It was on the river. That's whe~e the
reservation is now. Because we interchange so much her~ m the
Northwest by trade and such we picked up on a lot of different
styles. So how do you sever what had been learned from the north
as being not so much west coast or Salish? .~ere do you <J;aw
that line? People have been trying to draw this line for a long tune.
In pre-contact times we traveled by ~oe up to Vancouver Island
and Victoria. We picked up a lot of different styles there, even
canoe-building. So how do you sever that off as not indigenous?
I t was something that was related. We were actually a ~retty
friendly group of people up here and endeavored to keep It that
way.

Rhys: There's something I'm curious ab~u~; I don't ~ow if it's
a touchy question or not. If a white person IS mterested m developing a craft, learning from you, how does that operate? Do you feel
comfortable with that?
. .
Andy: Well, I just taught in the Hood Canal School DIstrIct. I
taught from 25 to 40 students over the last 4 weeks. They were
teachers, they were parents, and students. It was a two-hour long
class pulled off between myself and Yvonne Pete:s,on. The majority of people there were non-Indian. I feel that It s good. You
can only share and expound on the art forms. You ha.v~ to be
careful when you come to that point, because art and religIOn are
so integrated, that you don't give away too much.
I believe the non-Indians have come to know our art forms and
not to feel left outside and not understanding. They should understand they should feel comfortable coming into the school now and
seei~g those three wall murals and be able to expound on that.
Teach their kids about that.
Because the history and the art forms are coming into the sch.ool
district we can only feel it's right that they know what's gomg
on. The~ have to know. That's why we taught the !tistory and art
class together. Besides, there's too much of a barner between us.
When a nOli-Indian walks in and sees that form on the wall, he
doesn't know the head from the tail of a fish. That's sad; he should
be a part of this. Let's think abo?t the neo-~azi group; how much
disturbance they brought into this commumty. We don t need that
sort of thing. We're brothers now. Let's face it.
Rhys: Is there a tension between. the anci~nt art, and the need
to really get to know that and brIng th~t mto the next generations and keep it alive, and the developmg of your own style?
Andy: Yes, I think that's where we're back to the s~iritual. aspects
of carving. There are certain things that are projected mto ~he
art forms that come from pre-contact times that we keep ahve
right down the line.
.
The Northwest Art Commission saw that all of our Ite.ms were
burned with a person when t:1ey died, ~s part of cer;m~mes. They
don't have the Puget Salish-type of carvmg that they d like to have.
They'd like to gain some of that from myself and other memb~rs.
We agreed to do it, although we ~~l alter some .of the carvmg
to where we won't reach into the SPIrIt World and mto the taboos.
So we agreed to do it, but with some alterations so it doesn't take
away from our religious aspects that we want to keep concealed
within the Twanah culture. It's important for us to keep t.hose
things alive and in memory, and to complete so~e of those pIeces
and leave them with our people so that our children and grandchildren pick up on that, keep it alive and know why that man's
got that face that's big on one side and small ~n, the other.
Something there, something I can't talk about, but It s there a~d
I want to pass it on. And the style of canoe, the way we build
the longhouses. Longhouses are coming back into existence. We
want our grandchildren to do it the right way, there's a reason
for it.D

We're boorded to deoth
by Bret Lunsford
Student apathy is a lie. People blame
apathy for the lack of student involvement
in campus activities. But using apathy to
explain this uninvolvement merely
disguises the real structural roadblocks that
inhibit student participation in campus activities and decision-making. Blaming
students for apathy justifies the status-quo,
and so it ought to be viewed with suspicion.
Bored StUdents
It's 9ften said that the problem with student (excuse me for bringing this up again)
governance is that students are just bored
to death with the subject. But it's not that
we're bored to death, it's that we're board- .
ed to death. You got all these damn boards
hiding behind bureaucratic code names, so
you know you can't trust 'em. You got your
Comm. Board mommy-ing KAOS and th.f
CPJ. You got your S & A Board, which actually means (this is always good for a
laugh) Student Services and Activities. This
self-appointed board usually functions as a
circus that makes students--those who are
enthused by the concept of student
activities--jump through a bunch of hoops
until they lose their enthusiasm. These two
boards are only the tip of the iceberg.
What are these boards, really, and who
invited them onto our campus? Maybe you
read in last week's paper ab~ut how our
S & A Board is illegally and illegitimately
claiming authority over the distribution of
hundreds of thousands of dollars in student
fees; I mean, not to indict the people on the
Board, but the Board as an institution, a
term that can barely claim to be a part of
student vocabulary, let alone claim to be a
representative body.
The Comm. Board was birthed from the
Board of Trustees in response to a libel
lawsuit brought against the CPJ by KAOS
a few years back. It's been hanging around
ever since, trying to justify it's existence
by following a policy of Manifest Destiny
in the realm of student communications.
Self.Perpetuating Bureaucracy
We live in a country, under a government, which has been structured to inhibit
democratic participation in decision-making
while it maintains the illusion of democracy
through elections. We ignore the fact that
barely a majority of those eligible bother
to vote; we accuse non-voters of being
apathetic, rather than recognizing the maze
of bureaucratic rules and institutions which
place decison-making outside of the normal
citizen's reach.
Evergreen's deciSion-making processes,
to the degree that they are bureaucratically entangled, result in the same type of
popular disenfranchisement. Due to
uneducation and the complexity of policymaking, policy has receded from direct student access and become controlled by our
self-perpetuating
and
expanding
bur'eaucratic systems.
On a public television program that asked what people think the government ought
to do about poverty, a man said, "It's not
the government's concern." A woman
responded: "We're the government; people
are the government," to which he replied,
"No, we're not."
Governance could, theoretically, be a process by which all members of a community
possess an equal voice in decision-making.
Inherent in our current concept of government, however, is the rule of a few over the
many.
As our community begins to address this
student governance question, by means of
the Governance Disappearing Task Force
(DTF), it is crucial that we analyze our current structure and operating principles for
the bureaucratic tyram1y that pervades our
society. Are student issues made accessible to an informed populace that holds
decision-making power? No. We have a de
facto government of boards and offices
which obscure what's happening. Students
themselves view apathy as natural and inevitable; this ideological device allows
student-government types to dismiss questions of legitimacy as idealistic, leaving the
rest of the student body free to party.
The Question of Legitimacy
More frightening than the system itself-which can easily be replaced--is the
ideological acceptance of these bureaucratic
structures and their ramifications.
Ken Dolbeare and Linda Metcalf speak
of our national bureaucracy in their paper
The Dark Side of the Constitution. They
comment on how the legal profession has
taken a governing role from the people:
"This erected an ostensibly neutral and objective shield that first obscured what was
happening and then made it seem natural
and inevitsble."
Government vs. Governance
Governance is a process of decisionmaking. Government is a thing that makes
. decisions.
This is the question of legitimacy: Is the
group which makes the decisions that affect the larger community empowered by
that community, or, rather, self-appointed?
Furthermore, has the community been
educated enough to understand the issues
at hand? Does the community even conceive of itself as a community, let alone as
potential decision-makers? Is a structure
for decision-making really accessible to the
members of that community?
The concept of student apathy justifies increased control over the stUdent population
by those who want to take care of us, e.g.,
stand in loco parentis. Whether
bureaucratization is natural or inevitable is
beside the point. The point is: It's happening, and not only here, but everywhere.
Maybe as a memorial to the Evergreen
philosophy, we could bring up the question
of legitimacy. If we don't learn how to ask
it now, it will only become more difficult to
do so in the future. 0

If you don't like it, take control.
by Jennifer Seymore, editor
Okay, okay. So your neighborhood editor
won't print army ads. Now what? Well,
before you set out to lynch her with the
First Amendment, think about some of the
larger issues surrounding the dilemma.
More importantly, assess your power as
students.
• You are the publishers as far as I can
tell. Your S & A money funds the paper
(S & A fronts all our expenses, and we pay
some of this back out of revenue). To me,
this means that the students have the
undebatable right to define the publication
they pay for. This includes deciding which
advertisers we choose to accept money
from. Just as the owners of a private
publication are free to turn down any and
all ads, the student publishers ought to
have every right to do the same, if they so
choose. Don't let anyone tell you that you
must sell what you have for sale to anyone
who wants it: "We reserve the right to
refuse service to anyone."
This means that you hold power and
responsibility. Power to make statements
with your decisions, responsibility to make
the right ones. And the fact is, when faced
with the military ad choice ...
• There is no neutral act. Lines have
already been drawn by the institution; we
don't print ads from corporations in South
Africa; we dont print ads which portray
women or minorities in degrading ways.
Consequently, each time we print an ad, we
say explicitly on which side of our line it
falls. If we really were neutral in. our
policies, then printing an ad for the army
or the Idaho Nazis or whoever would indeed be "nonpolitical." But it isn't and to
pretend it is is irresponsible. But ...
~ \\ e have an opportunity. We--a studentowned, student-run pUblication--hold the
power here to collectively oppose
something. Or not. To voice a loud, clear
and public "NO" to something. Or not. The
fact we must face is that when we do not,
we make a statement that we must own up
to.
• Social change occurs through the collective "NO." Not the individual one.
Realize your power. Take responsibility for
what you do or don't do. Be active and
make the right decision, because ...
• I am Yllur employee and my decision
'-D
was predicated on the belief that the ma• . jority of students wanted me to act as I did.
If I'm wrong, someone is going to have to
prove it to me.
It is the ultimate responsibility of the
editor to do her best to put out the paper
which the student publishers want. I think
I do this, to the extent which is possible
when no representative student governance body exists, when no polling method
is deemed "reliable," when readers write
letters when they're angry and don't when
they're not.
So prove me wrong. Collectively. If the
student publishers pronounce the military
to be on the "YES" side of the line that's
been drawn, then more power to them. It
is then the editor's responsibility to either
carry out the act, or find a job she can
ethically deal with.
This situation is simply one more sad example of the problem which, in my mind,
is killing this institution; students have no
structure through which their opinions,
ideas, and reactions can be channeled and
dealt with. Therefore, their power is defused, their decisions are made for them (see
Bret Lunsford's opinion piece in this issue
on illegitimacy). Which brings us to ...
• Who hires the editor? You certainly
don't. Something called the Communications Board does. And do you know what?
On that board the president has as ·much
representation as the S & A Board.
This board exists because KAOS sued the
CPJ a few years ago and the administration decided students couldn't handle media
on their own_ And now this board exists a)
to keep tabs on us, by hiring both the editor
and the advisor, and b) to generate policy.
Since my decision to reject the ad, the
Communications Board chairperson has
said that they need to "take a long hard
look" at the policy as it stands, i.e. institute
a way to check the editor's power in
"cases" like this. Some members of this
board seem to feel that they are, in fact, the
Board of Directors of the CPJ, to which
I would respond, Bullshit.
It's your paper, people.
• What are you going to do about it? Probably nothing. But if you do happen to find
a couple minutes on, ahem, Governance
Day, you might think about writing a letter to Gail Martin telling her who, indeed,
is the publisher of this paper, and who
should be its ultimate directing body. The
S & A Board? A student governance
system, such as DRONE? The Communications Board? An altered version of the Communications Board? It doesn't matter to
me; if I can't handle the directive of the
students I can find another job. Just take
control of your paper before the people in
neckties do, and by George, understand the
implications of your decisions. 0
Men's group violated
by Jayson Ringel
The women's "Take Back the Night"
march and men's support group meeting
catalyzed a much needed dialogue on the
effects of violence against women on us as
individuals and as a community. That Tuesday night's activities emphasized that each
of us needs to address this issue.
At the request of the women organizing
the march, the men met as a separate community to discuss the recent violence. As
a participant of this group, my peronal focus
was to think about how rape is specifically
a men's issue. Though this group was large
- fIfty or so participants -- and cumbersome,
and though we had never met as a group
before, the seriousness of the discussion and
wide array of thoughts expressed was
encouragmg.
After approximately a half-hour, the at-
mosphere of this meeting changed. Two
women, who were among several attending
as observers, interjected themselves into
our discussion. From then on, the meeting
was no longer a dialogue among men. It was
a point-counterpoint discussion centered
upon these women's remarks. The focus
was switched from men making sense of
this issue among ourselves to these two
women telling us what we, as men,
"should" think and feel.
As a community of men and woman, we
all need to deal with the issue of violence.
All women, all men's and mixed discussion
groups are needed. On that Tuesday night,
even though many men wanted to participate in the march, the men's community respected the request for and the sanctity of an all women's gathering. I only wish
the two women at the men's group could
have shown the same respect .

Poetry of delusional reality
by Eric Kuhner
Ten space ships are hiding in the CAB.
Described as "inverted spheres of spotted
leopard reflections," they'll not be mistaken
for hyperactive beach balls. If sighted,
please pray for intelligence.
Is this being done to provoke you? How
are you being manipulated? What is the
meaning of the intangible number system
god?
Let's face it. You, if not the individual
then collective you, suffer from terminal
number worship. I know I do. The seduction of quantification is irresistible.
Avoidance is impossible. I'm number
521-96-0854, a name by which I am well
known in government circles. Numbers offer me security, like stocks or Linus'
blanket. Numbers make decisions for me.
Quantification orders the world.
It has been suggested that accurate
knowledge could predict the future and
retrodict the past. This has been proven
false. Physics has only shown that we find
what we look for. More to the point, what
does it mean that we are made of things
"that are neither particle nor wave and have
a probability of existing somewhere between the nucleus of an atom and China? We
can be described by an equation that is true
for everything and cannot be solved. Personally, I think this is something to brag
about.
My chemistry mentor suggested Chinese
electrons and remarked in seminar that we
can never control factors that aren't accounted for. At least two of us in the
seminar agreed that nothing can be known.
I would amend that. I think that
something exists but that it cannot be
known by humans. I think it is possible that
the absence of something (a state called
ed "nothing") is impossible. Oops, these are
only thoughts. Thoughts can't even be pro-
et~i ,
ilJ
~J
.;Ji
For instance, I believe that everything is
vibrating, that maybe we exist at the intersection of different energy planes or
something. This belief is as reasonable as
any other in my circumscribed conscious experience. It's one I latch on to every once
in a while.
The point is, the men running this world
(and I believe it is men; women, share the
blame if you wish, but one of my abiding
hopes is that women are smarter than men),
the men running this world, are deciding
what we believe. High priests pulling intangible number system god levers are controlling our thought patterns. Don't get
paranoid, I'm not suggesting conspiracy.
Only complacent docility.
The point is, everything is belief. People

are attempting to recreate life, to control
the earth, and to replace evolution in the
selection process.
The point is, no one has a quantitative
understanding of the earth. We are master
destroyers due to a belief in knowledge
through awareness.
Living in harmony with the earth is a goal
of many and is derided as idealistic utopianism. Yet the simplest creatures manage
this supposedly unattainable feat because
they are not aware of their own awareness.
I am not advocating the abolition of
awareness. But surrendering to the evolutionary life force with full awareness of the
act is excruciating. I'm afraid to give up my
perceived control. Are you?
I would argue that life force is the only
thing smart enough to order this planet.
Did you know that Illya Prigogine won a
Nobel prize for the mathematical description of how order spontaneously arises from
chaos?
You know, that's a corollary to my belief
about vibration. I also believe what vibrations inherently form patterns.
What I want to know is, what do you
believe? Why is the CP J so damn dry? We
need a paper fIlled with uneven speculation.
Attempting to emulate major newspapers
is a criminal act against humanity.
And what's this about diversity at
Evergreen? Evergreen is based on conformity. Evergreen is a community of humans,
a pretty uniform group given the diversity
of the universe. More to t.he point, what
diversity we are allowed is circumscribed
by the laws of the State of Washington and
the Social Contract. As a matter of fact, it
was recognjzed early on that Evergreen
could not exist without commitment to a set
of common values. One of those values happens to be diversity.

the Native .American Studies Group:
Teaching from two cultures
by Bt'n Tansey
\Xl
,
The coming months will see a fascinating
process unfolding at Evergreen. The work
of the study group on the Native American
Studies area promises to be intellectually
stimulating and emotionally evocative. It
will lay bare the positions and opinions
which have been central to a long ::;tanding
controversy on campus. The importance of
the group lies in its work. It will have to
come up with a structure within which both
the NAS program allJ the dominant
western educational ::;tl'uctuJ'e can reach
agreement.
It is my contention and f'xpectation that
the issues to be discussed \',;ithin the study
group are likely to delve directly into the
heart of ideas near and dear to Evergreen's
fundamental princilJles. Their repercussions
may be even wider, with implicationfi for
both western and Native American
cultures, the relationship between these
two, and for pedagogical theory as a whole.
Perhaps this is a grandiose assertion, but
as the group unyuestionably will have an
impact on Evergreen, it is worthy of
covel'age.
This series of articles then will center on
aspects of the group's work. As an inten'sted non·member of the group, it should
be emphasized that the analyses presented
are my own, and do not necessarily reflect
a consensus opinion of what the pertinent
issues are. In this first arUde, I fihould like
primarily to outline some of the issues with
which the group will be contending. Space
predudes much dis('ufisinn.
The group has tried to open its discus·
sions in the framework of Barre Tolkien's
article, "World View, the University
Establishment, and Cultural Annihilation,"
on which it SI-W llt part of the day
seminaring.
Mr. Tolkien came to campus last week
and spent some time with the group. His
1975 article contains the assertion that "the
educational establishment, even its most
liberal attempt to 'treat everyone the same
way' pushes our ignorance of each other
almost to the point of disaster, all in the
name of Liberal Education ." He seems to
suggest that the best intentions of a college,
even an "alternative" one, can still be blind
to the effects it has on its minority departments, in terms of communication, trust
and respect. If l.nw, thi~ is highly germane
to the study group' s work. Native
Amed.can's have strongly maintained the
presence of "institutional racism" at
Evergreen, and I have heard no one direct·
ly deny this.
For the sake of simplicity it will be useful
to speak of the competing interests involv·
ed in this study group as the "Native
Americans" and the "administration." The
reader is cautioned to bear in mind that
these terms are oversimplified, and they
are faulty inasmuch as they generate a
superficial dualism which is in reality
diversified.
The group comes together with many
issues pressing for attention, First, there
is the "unequal" start of the group. The
study group was formed to on·going pro·
blems that became so crystalized last year
that NAS fitudent::; and faculty truly came
to doubt whether the program would be
allowed to continue in its existing form.
This threat, and the theoretical ultimate
power of the administration to make final
decisions, means that the equality of the
respective cultural perspectives is limited
by the negotiative leverage each possesses,
the Native Americans clearly having less.
The Native Americans have put much
s~ress on the cultw-al aspects of the subjects
involved. They are especially concerned
with institutional racism, as well as with a
lack of respect for Native Americans and
accusations that question their integrity,
sincerity, competence and community. As
a subculture on campus, the problems they
are interested in are pre-eminently those
which have implications for the quality of
their continued existence. The administration, on the other hand, while constantly reasserting its belief in the importance of a
Native American presence on campus,
ultimately and necessarily emphasizes the
pedagogical side of the issues. These differences in emphasis will have to be
negotiated to preserve effective
communication.
Cultural diversity must also be reckoned with. To what extent, and in what areas,
can the two cultures maintain joint affairs?
The study group is charged with defining
the similarities and differences between
each side in their respective approaches to
education. For example, the institution is
required to grant degrees only to people
who meet a sufficient array of criteria
necessary to be considered "educated." If
there are irreconcilable differences in what
an educated person is said to be, then what
is the practicality of having both pedagogies
under the same roof?
Another example of this conflict is the
respective emphasis of oral and literary
conditions of academic excellence between
the two cultures, neither being wholly exclusive of the other. Issues of this nature
will undoubtedly be among the most vexing for the group.
In addition, the group will have to determine what role NAS plays in the upkeep
of Evergreen's emphasis on individual
study. While neither side doubts the value
of such opportunities in education, the administration has greater faith in individual
work done in a structured context, while
the Native Americans tend to believe that
students should be free to develop selfreliance in their own way.
The group will also have to address the
level of trust and respect each side has for
the other. Mistrust is a much more real problem than anyone has thus far cared to
admit.
descriptive and interpretative commentaries in the final report, it is hard to see
how recommendations for a structure of the
NAS programs, and/or for the school, can
be omitted without nullifying the latent
purpose of the group. Furthermore, the
culmination of the group's work in ,a writ·
ten document is a goal of western orientation. Roth SIdes will have to come to terms
with the legitimacy of this end product.
The meetings are open to the community and will take place usually between one
and five p.m. on Wednesdays in LIB 1900. D

Structural problems also exist. The study
group is large, with 22 members. Many
faculty see its problems as largely curricular, and while agreeing that input from
students is important, consider their participation as members of the group to be
somewhat inappropriate. The original plan
called for two students to be on the panel.
Pressure from interested students eventually raised the number to six. There are

Home audio arts are enjoyed by anyone
who enjoys music or blowing up things.
There are numerous devices available for
recording your musical expressions ranging from simple portable open-miked mono
decks to fancy multi-tracked drea!'l labs.
These devices can be made more inexpensively, and with higher quality, every day.
Home taping is a hobby that has become
one of the accessible creative outlets of all
time. It is much more affordable than many
other mediums, and gives the artist maximum creative means to realize amazing
works. Video is probably the next most accessible medium that is developing, but
audio cassettes are by far the most inexpensive. Many ideas about format and entertainment events, of "songs," have been
changed by the new media as it becomes
available.
Cassettes have brought complete control
of the making and marketing of original
music to a small scale. The home tape artist composes, records, packages, advertises and distributes music herself. This is
one of the many benefits of the free market
system, used successfully not for making a
financial profit, but by both maker and
listener to enjoy music.
Nobody has ever made any noticeable
profit releasing their own tapes. Let there
be no illusions about this. Some almost
break even. Some are making more money,
like the successful new-age beautiful-music
organizations. Rock stars make money playing gigs, sometimes also from records
(maybe) and use cassettes to get gigs or to
please fans.
The proposed evil home tape tax is
designed to re-harvest a small amount of
money from music consumers who purchase
blank tapes. The assumption is that all
home tap'e rs are pirating pre-recorded
music. This money is then paid to the persons... whose copyrights were violated. Of
course they are already rich from making
records, videos and tours -- earning their
money the old fashioned way.
Most blank tape purthasers also spend a

significant amount of money on records.
Take me for example. I don't even have a
record player but I enjoy a steady trickle
of new records coming in. I purchase
records because the sound quality is much
more reliable -- tapes get damaged, wear
out, get accidentally erased, etc., and having a high-quality version of my favorite
music is something that is important to me.
Once you get started liking music it doesn't
matter what form it comes in.
Entertainment in the future (shelters or
spaceships): Analog sound technology is
slowly being overwhelmed by digital
technology. It will only be a matter of time
before tape-filled cassettes will become
novelties and antiques. But, as with any
medium, it takes lot of time to fully explore
all of the possibilities. And there is much
happening with this electronic folk art right
now.
Every time that you go to your mailbox
you could be picking up little packages. It
could be something that will pop in and
totally blow you away. You could be so
lucky. Lots of possibilities: garage sessions
of your kid sister's rock band, or someone
in a fancy home lab mixing incredible feats
of science, or a pioneer of popular rock,
soothing meditation, or difficult industrial
noise; there are tickets to many sonic
environments.
You can ' get your music heard on the
,
radio in many cities around the world. You
can get onto tape compilations, your band
tucked in between a band from Germany
and a band from Japan. Keep your eyes
open and check for an address, maybe send
a postcard before you send anything like a
tape Gust an idea) don't forget to include
your address on the tape's packaging clearly, and more than once, too. Don't expect
anything for free -- it costs a lot to sent out
several postcards and letters a week, and
tapes are rather generous things to give
away. Usually this is no problem for most
participants in the big imaginary tapeexchange network world plan. Which is,
naturally, undocumented.
Reasons just to give them away: How else
are they going to be heard? Radio stations
sometimes play them, magazines review
them, people with lists can quantify them
(rare but effective -- there are various
camps that don't always mix, yer purple
mohawk with your jazz buff, but heck, you
never know. And what are the age-groups
involved?) Once you're in a while someone
buys one.
Selling them: Some artists can sell them
for incredible prices, many try to. Most are
$5 or so. It depends on what you have and
how much it's in demand. Musicians with
a name have an edge over most. Mark
Mothersbaugh (of Devo) sold lots of his
unusual release in a few places, nothing like
the phonographic-disc making industry sells
Devo records, but that's not who the tapes
are made for, generally. It takes a certain
lust for audio adventure to appreciate these
little wonders.
Mailorder distributors: These folks obtain a stock-pile of tapes or some kind of arrangement (for example an agreement
about reproduction rights) from their artists, make nifty catalogs to display them
\ and usually try to make some money. One
legendary outfit -- Floating World -- makes
NO markup from tapes sold, and can sell
them very very inexpensively. There are
many different international efforts going
on -- Bad Compilation Tapes is all international hard-core punk rock garage bands,

Student orchestra performs

The University of Washington Chamber
Orchestra will perform the works of
Mozart, Mendelsshon and Grieg tomorrow
night at 8 p.m. in the Olympia Ballroom.
As reported in the U. W. , Daily in
February, all the students participate on a
volunteer basis, "purely for the desire to
play in a smaller symphonic group," according to conducter David Pollitt. "The
chamber orchestra is formed to do repertoire not normally covered by the regular
symphony orchestra, a varied and wonderful repertoire written for a small group,"
said Pollitt.
The group is entirely self-governed,
which has "accelerated unique develop-

ment, style, and personality."
"This is one of the reasons students are
interested," said Pollitt in the Daily, "for
it allows them to play pieces not usually
performed.' ,
Pollitt himself was born in Southern
Rhodesia to English and Hungarian
parents, and moved to the U.S. early life.
He studied as a violinist at the Julliard
School, the University of Washington, and
the University of Michigan. A hand injury
curtailed his career as a violinist, and Pollitt
then began conductorial studies under

MAARAVA advocates
cultural freedom
w
o
::)
fVl
by Stephanie Schloredt
Brian Seidman hates to use buzz-words,
but "network" and "cross-cultural" come
in handy when he talks about
MAARAVA, the student group which supports Jewish culture on campus.
.
Brian co-founded MAARA VA in the
spring of 1984 with the idea that it would
be the secular answer to temple. Going to
temple meant hanging out and relaxing
with friends, he said. He soon discovered
that hanging out gets harder to justify as
one gets older, and that relaxing is not
a~ways compatible with the Evergreen
lifestyle.
One of Brian's activities as coordinator is
designing events that have a theme or purpose. The Assistant Director of the AntiDefamation League in Seattle spoke about
Neo-Nazis on Tuesday, November 18.
MAARAVA also hosts movies. "Hester
Street," which will be shown in January,
is the story of the immigration of European
Jews in the 1920's. "Shoah," a nine-hour
documentary on the Holocaust will be
presented Spring Quarter.
You can be enlightened; educational
events will be held to help people learn
about Judaism and its history, such as a program on Israel or the two-day workshop
which will be held in February.
"Judaism is a very rich religion with lots
of beliefs and practices," says Brian. "The
whole idea of Judaism is supposed to be that
it transposes time." This adds the religion
of your grandparents to the collective
memory of the Jewish people, he explained.
Brian recalls a saying: "Jews are victims
of their own success." He feels that Jews
in America can lose sight of their uniqueness. MAARAVA can help them retain
their culture, he says.
"Jews are much more aware of their
fragility now than ever before," says Brian.
Concerning the Neo-Nazi movement based
in Idaho, Brian said that, "Everyone has
opinions, some we may try to change but
cannot. People can hate and there is nothing
wrong with that," says Brian, "What is
wrong is the power to suppress."
There will always be groups of so-called
political activists testing their freedoms.
"They don't want what is comfortable,
~ they're scared that they're free to be
, homosexuals, or whatever," says Brian.
I
Brian said it is important to hear the
arguments that these groups have to present so that people have the opportunity to
listen, evaluate, and react. "Representing
yourself is very powerful, but not representing is very powerful, too."
Brian spoke out against the recent rejection of military advertisements by the CPJ.
Evergreen represents certain ideas, but the
attitudes taken by some are not those taken
by all, says Brian. To give power to a group
who says, "my group is better and my
lifestyle is more important" can threaten
the power of choice.
.
Brian talked about the future of
MAARAVA in relation to the new group
of people who are coming to Evergreen
because of its recent popularity with the
media: "I hope that they will take it and
make it into what they want."
Brian will be leaving Evergreen soon, and
MAARAVA needs people who are interested in the continuance of the organization, and maintaining its importance, and
leadership role.
Stop by and visit Brian in LIB 3214
before he graduates. Ask him what he has
learned while he has been at Evergreen. He
claims he can now say the word 'aluminum,'
which he had trouble saying while acting
in a play two years ago; maybe he'll even
say it for us on his new message recorder
sometime. 0

r~forests O\ympla
and
by Charles Calvert
The Northwest Reforestation Project has
been founded by E.nvironmental Resource
Center Coordinator, Brian Hoffman, in
order to reforest Thurston County with
trees native to this part of the country.
Anyone interested in planting trees may go
to the ERC, on the third floor of the CAB
building, where a supply of free cedars and
firs is available.
Because the Western Red Cedar is sacred
to all peoples indigenous to the Northwest,
the Reforestation Project is concentrating
on replanting that particular type of tree.
However, Douglas Fir and Western
Hemlock seedlings are also available for
those who are interested in them.
The project has been designed specifically
to allow people concerned about the environment to make a concrete, visible contribution to the area in which they live. People who are troubled about the damage being done to our forests are encouraged to
take this opportunity to become involved
with the environmental movement.
Hoffman thinks that many people have an
anthropocentric view of the world and as
a result they still cling to the pre-
,
.~
Copernican idea that everything revolves
around the Earth and around human affairs. This destructive attitude results in
humankind thinking that the resources of
the planet are to be used in any fashion people might desire. But the destruction
wreaked on the forests of the Northwest
is ample evidence of what happens when
this view predoIJrlnates. The answer to this
problem Hoffman believes, is for humans
to develop a view of the world which is biocentric, that is, a view which is earth
centered.
"When you're planting trees you're planting hope," Hoffman says. His Reforestation Project is a part of an environmental .
movement which hopes to help people
develop a "caring attitude," for the earth,
its forest, and its animal life. By following
this path, by learning to live in harmony
with our environment, we will be able to
learn to live a better and more fuItilling life.
Anyone interested in taking a tree home
to plant is encouraged to visit the ERC and
pick up a tree. If you have other concerns
about ecology, environmentalism,
bioregionalism, etc., you are, of course,
welcome to stop by the ERe at any time. 0

Only 100 show
for Turkey Trot
by Benjamin Barrett
Last Saturday, Evergreen sponsored the
15th Annual Turkey Trot. Named for the
prizes given out, the Turkey Trot awarded seven prizes to Evergreeners for coming in the first four places in each age
division.
At 2.7 miles, the race is generally flat, run
on pavement or a soft shoulder, starting
and ending at the Evan's Library. Corey
Meador, assistant in coordinating the race,
estimated there were about 100 participants this year, somewhat less than last
year's turn-out. He notes this was probably
due to lack of publicity and lack of involvement by the Olympia Parks and Recreation
Center, which helped out last year.
The most notable Geoduck for the race ,
Michelle Conner, ran in the Women's age
13-19 division, coming in first at 16:15, and
broke the old record by one second. For her
triumph, she was given a turkey. Following behind her for second was Noelle N ordstrom at 18:23, taking home a chicken.
Coming in the first three places respectively for age group 20-29 were Frannie
Hearn, Sue Clynch (student coach for croSs
country), and Tracy Stefan, who all won
fowl. Tracy's trophy was a Cornish game
hen. Coming in third and fourth places for
the Men's age 20-29 division were Baethan
Crawford at 14:29 and alumnus Todd Dennyat 15:01. Todd took home a dozen eggs
for his accomplishment. 0

Evergreen split its first home swim meet
of the 86-87 season against Portland Community College last Wednesday. The
women's team won, 59-47, and the men's
team lost by one point.
"The women pulled out the victory in the
last race," said Bruce Fletcher ,
Evergreen's swimming and diving coach,
"They were surprising."
The race, a 400-yard free-style relay, was
won by the team of Annie Pizey, Rachel
Wexler, Louise Brown, and Kate Parker.
Other Evergreen winners were Ellen
Brewester, 200-yard freestyle, and l(X)-yard

Club status spoils
cross country turnout
by Suzanne Steil berg
The Evergreen Cross Country Club
wrapped up its season with strong showings in the NAIA District Meet held at
Simon Fraser University, November 7.
Despite the absence of six runners, four
Evergreen athletes competed at the meet
including Franny Hearn and Susie Tveter,
for the women, and John Kaiser and Bob
Reed, for the men.
The absence of six members of the club
at the meets is attributed to the club status
of the sport. Turnout for the meets this
season had averaged three runners, with
the largest showing of six. "When it was
a team sport the turnout was much greater
for training and meets,' said veteran runner Franny Hearn. "Now that it is a club ,
blrnout hR8 ilropped."

in the 50-yard breaststroke, 200-yard individual medley, and 500-yard free-style.
Fletcher also mentioned the improvement
of Tino Ruth and Mike Bujacich. "Overall,
it was a good team effort," he said.
In the diving competition, the men won,
32-28, with Eric Seemann the individual
winner, but the women lost, 32-27, with
Tawny Young the individual winner. 0
"There are mixed emotions about the club
status. "I like the training and atmosphere
of the club better because it is more relaxed," said Franny, "but I miss the unity and
the number of people on the team; the club
is more individual."
There aren't any changes expected in the
status of the cross country at Evergreen.
The club status went into effect this year
and it will only be changed if students request more money from the S & A Funding
Board. 0

Crew disappoints at Greenlake
by Benjamin Barrett
The Geoduck crew team met against
other Northwestern teams in two·races last
Saturday at Greenlake, their first races this
year.
The racers didn't do quite as well as was
hoped. Most notable was a second place,
following Greenlake's team by only two
seconds, in the Frostbite 1000-Meter. The
men's team was rowed by MaYnard, StaddIes, Reed. and Kiegley with Pete Stevens
as coxswain.
Also in the Frostbite was the women's second to Seattle Pacific University, drag-
ging by only five seconds. This light-class
team was rowed by Sorenson, Buchannan,
Thomas, and Fenno-Smith (student coordinator) with Maren Christansen as coxswain. Overall, coach Cath was proud of her
team's improvements and looks forward to
next April's meets.

On Saturday, October 25, Team Gel, (a
rad, enter-any-competition-just-for-fun
team) held a boomerang contest on the soccer fields from noon until dark. Despite the
rain, (what a surprise) the contest was a
complete and utter success, reeking of fun
and enjoyment. The 25 competitors were
divided into novice and expert categories,
and all the contestants excelled in the art
of defining radness. Consecutive Catch, Accuracy, Juggling and Maximum Time Aloft
were among the events that were held.
The team events, featuring a mix of both
novice and expert competitors, consisted of
four "Gel" clubs, Team Gel-O, Team GelE, Team Gel-Ato, and Team Gel-Icatessen.
These four teams competed vigorously, and
each defined the spirit of unabashed fun.
The teams were so evenly matched that
there "was a 4-way tie for first overall
(thanks in part to our wonderful
scorekeeper, Jamie Gaston). In the novice
events, Sarah from Boston, personifying effort, placed 10th overall. Reckless abandon
earned Andrew Laroo Powers 9th place.

says, adding, "even in an acquaintance rape you're safer if you
speak out. If you let the rapist know that this is public, it makes
it less safe for him to come back and rape again."
Safety is just one reason to report. "Rapists do not just rape
once and that's it. They rape again and again and if it's not you
it's going to be somebody else. It will happen again," says Lynn.
If the woman is uncomfortable going to the police with the information, she should at least tell Safeplace so that they will see the
pattern develop if other women come in who have been raped by
the same man.
There are many medical considerations when a woman has been
raped. Has she been injured? Does she want or need medical
attention? Victims of violence minimize the extent of their injuries
and trauma. Often a woman who has been injured in an assault
does not seek medical attention even for broken bones, large cuts
and bruises, and severe internal injuries.
Even when the injuries aren't severe it is important to seek
medical attention. If a woman wants to press charges, then medical
evidence can be collected up to 72 hours after the rape. Evidence
can be collected from her clothing, skin, and hair, so it is important that she see a doctor before changing or bathing.
Another concern which arises from a sexual assault is that of
unwanted pregnancy. There is a treatment called the Morning
After Therapy (MAT) that can be administered up to 72 hours after
unprotected intercourse. MAT interferes with the transport and
implantation of a fertilized egg. The treatment is not 100% effective, however. This is available at the Thurston County·Women's
Health Clinic.
Another concern is the prevention of sexually transmitted
diseases. An infection can take several days or weeks to appear,
so a follow-up exam is necessary.
If paying for medical treatment is a problem, there are several
programs that might be able to assist you. Safeplace could refer
you to one of these services.
If for no other reason, she should call Safeplace of the Crisis
Line for her own health and support. At Safeplace, there are trained staff members who can meet and talk in person, or just over
the'phone.
Self Defense
"Self defense is making choices," says Debbie Leung of F.I .S.T.
(Feminists in Self-Defense Training). These choices include the
ones we make in order to prevent sexual assault, as well as those
we make during an attack.
A flrst step is asking ourselves, "Am I worth defending?" If
a woman has not thought of the possibility of needing to defend
herself in a rape situation, and suddenly fmds herself in one, it
will be difficult for her to come up with methods of defending
herself. Women need to ask themselves "What if I needed to hurt
someone in order to protect myself; could I do that?"
Another way in which we can defend ourselves is by trusting
our intuition, our gut level feelings. Lynn says, "We (women) are
so scared of humiliating or embarrassing ourselves-we're so scared
about what others will think--that we're afraid to scream, afraid
tQ make a scene "
Much of defending ourselves is in the way we view ourselves
and assert ourselves. Rapists will often test their victims to flnd
out if they are easily intimidated. Since verbal coercion by a rapist
is a means of manipulation, it is important for a woman to be able
. to say "no" and stick by it. This may be the only type of selfdefense necessary to prevent an acquaintance rape.
Body language can send strong messages to a rapist as well.
'-.() A self confldent appearance means strong eye-contact, good
N
posture, and a flrm tone of voice. Visualize your own selfconfidence.
,
Improving health and physical fltness may make us feel more
secure, as well as developing and practicing strategies for situations that make us feel afraid.
I
,
We do not need to be big and physically strong to flght off an
attacker. There ar-e many ways to discourage a rapist. Running
away is often successful. In one study, it was found that 81% of
women who tried to run away from an attacker were able to escape
the attempt.
'
Being aware of target areas is important. On the body, these
are them eyes, ears, nose, mouth, throat, groin, and knee. These
areas can be struck by the hard surfaces of the body. Yelling loudly as you strike is an additional disturbance.
Because self-defense is about making choices, we need to
recognize that surrendering is also a viable option. Each woman
must decide for herself how to respond to an attacker.
CALL
?•
a) Five minutes into "The Lawrence Welk Show~'
b) About a week before your birtf1day.
c) When you iust want to tell them you miss
them, and that you ate the last of Grandma's
chocolate-chip cookies this moming.
Family and Friends
The most important support system for a rape survivor is her
family and friends. When family and friends are supportive, the
trauma of the rape is much easier for the victim to deal with.
However, dealing with a victim's trauma can be very difficult for
loved ones.
Lynn flnds that, "Friends go through a lot of the same feelings
a rape victim does: feelings of helplessness. Rape is an incredible
trauma, and it's a crisis, so all of the crisis reactions come out."
It is important for rape survivors to remember that their loved
ones are also part of our sexist culture and that they too have
most likely been misinformed through myth.
Personal feelings about past experiences may also arise.
"Sometimes the response you get from family and friends is that
it is difficult for them to hear about it. A lot of times, this is because
they themselves have been sexually assaulted," says Lynn.
There are many ways in which friends can help if someone they
know has been raped. Most of these are concerned with emotional
support. Simply being there and telling her you care is one of the
most constructive things you can do. Also, let her know that it
was not her fault and continually remind her of that; this is
especially important because she is probably not going to believe
you at flrst.
Wanting to kill the rapist, a common reaction for friends and
family, doesn't help any of you. Instead, try to use the energy
spent on anger on dealing with the trauma. Regardless of whether
the victim wishes to report the attack, prosecute against the rapist,
or talk to anyone else, you need to support her decision. Avoid
taking control away from her; she has been manipulated enough.
Our Evergreen community also provides a strong base for support. It is important to Charlotte Wheeler that there are resources
for women on campus and that we are continually aware of the
problem of rape, not only when a rape on campus reminds us of
this ongoing problem. "I'm highly concerned that the security force
on campus does not let up on its escort service," says Charlotte.
One thing Charlotte would like to see happen to support rape
prevention is an educational presentation for women and men in
the community that faculty, staff and students could be involved
in.
There is a men's group here in Olympia called Olympia Men
Against Rape. This group functions both as a support group for
men to learn about themsleves and as an educational group to
reach out to other men. They are also currently leading a selfhelp group for men involved in domPRt,i,. or sexual abuse.
I t is very important for the friends of victims to talk about th~ir
feelings; thp. morp. ahle they deal with their own trauma, the more
prepared they will be to deal with the victim's. 0
RIGHT TIME TO
.
There's nothing grandparents like better than a call from a
grandchild in college. But if you do accidentally happen to interrupt Lawrence, you ought to have something worth telling them.
For example, you could mention that you called using
AT&T Long Distance Service because you can depend on AT&T's
high quality service and exceptional value.
And then you can tell them that AT&r gives you
immediate credit if you dial a wrong number.
And that you can count on AT&r for
clear long distance connections.
Finally, of course, you should
quickly reassure them that
you're eating
enough, then let
