congratulations
Jennifer,
I've been meaning to write to you for
weeks to congratulate you on the CPJ.
You've done an outstanding job·-each issue
has been well done, thorough, current,
readable ... terrific!
I recently staffed an -alumni reception in
Boston. Over 40 Greeners were there and
one of the things they wanted to know was
what issues were being covered by the
CPJ. I mentioned homophobia, fresh/new ':
student "enculturation," concerns about
recruiting (who was coming here? for what
reasons?), military ad censorship, rape, ..
They were impressed by the quality of your
work.
Your December 4 issue finally prompted
me to take pen in hand. The catalog parody
is hysterical. Well done! Thanks for the
good laughs. (By the way, the c~talog
creators have done their own parodies: A

The Staff in Career Development
~kaos
Dear CPJ:
I was the Chief Engineer for KAOS from
August, 1979 through December, 1980, and
was a fellow grant project employee with
Toni Holm and David Rauh. Mter reading
Michael Huntsberger's letter to the editor
in the December 4 issu~" I decided to
review the CPJ article which he said prompted a libel suit from Holm and Rauh
' ("College to Audit KAOS", May 14, 1981.)
Although Mi. Huntsberger set out "to correct an inaccuracy and provide some
historical clarification," he also incorrectly
reported the upheaval surrounding KAOS.
When it was published, I felt that the article accurately protrayed unethical activities
of som~ of the staff, and,after re~fPng t,he
court proceedings, I s~e tIwt.~ther KAOS
staff members and the:8 & A director made
statements to Ule court affirming the accuracy of the article, to the best of their
knowledge. The CPJ editor of the time,
There5a Connor, said in an affidavit to the
court that "on the basis of ongoi~g controverSy and a series of allegations by
former top radio s~tion managers, I
authorized Bill Mon~gue to do an in·
vestigation of KAOS radio management
and practices .. ,aftel' publication of the May
14, {l981J article, Toni and Dave demand·
ed a retraction, and threatened me with a
libel suit. Because of this threat, Roger
Stritmatter /assoc. erutorJand I did our own
~xtensive investigation of the KAOS allega·
tions. We spent at least 200 hours of work
on that investigation including interview·
ing at least 15 people who were involved
with KAOS,,,as a result of that investiga·
tion, it is my conclusion that the story which
Bill Montague wrote on May 14 was
substantially and overWhelmingly true."
Huntsberger claims that "the allegations
were proven untrue," but the only investigation I find record of is an audit of
KAOS' financial records which stated that
the radio station's accounting methods
would not have I evealed WI ongdoing. The
statements,and affidavits to the court during the libel ~it fIled by Holm and Rauh
(against Montague, but not also Evergreen,
as Huntsberger stated) !!UPport the infor·
mation in Montague's article, except those
from Toni Holm. Even D.avid Rauh stated
to the court that he used the college
telephones to call David Jatlow in
Washington, D.C. In a broadcast station
license application dated September 25,
1981, Jatlow is listed as the legal counsel
to Three Cities FM, Inc. In this same application, David Rauh is listed as Pt:esident
of Three Cities FM, Inc., and Toni Holm is
listed as V.P.lSecretary Treasurer. It appears that the allegations were far from
"proven untrue", so why Huntsberger's
need to defend Rauh and Holm? He could
have made his point about the Communications Board without this ~~construction of
history. As for the so-called "apology" from
then· President Evans, it seems clear to me
that this statement was made as a conces·
sion in settling the suit out of court, once
the Board of Trustees of Evergreen was
eventually persuaded of their obligation to
provide legal cousel for Montague.
There is much more to this story, but I
cannot afford to be dragged into a lengthy
and expensive legal case by those who ap- ,
pear to have an interest in obscuring the
truth. The above information was made a
matter of public record during the lawsuit
No. 81-2-00931-7, and is on fIle at Thurston
County Superior Court. Why is it that the
college never pursued a criminal investiga·
tion based on the allegations brought up in
the article and in the statements during the
libel suit?
Sincerely,
Greg Falxa

The faculty made several changes in the
student self-evaluation process at their
January 7 meeting. Up until now, no
college-wide policy has required each student to write a self-evaluation at the end
of every program. There has also been confusion as to whether self-evaluations must
be submitted to the Registration office for
students to recieve credit. Another source
of confusion has occurred when faculty
refer to students' self-evaluations in their
evaluations of students, and no self evaluation has been submitted. In ~uch cases, the
Registration office has returned faculty
evaluations to program secretaries pending
the appearance of self-evaluations.
The faculty voted that all students must
write a self-evaluation at the end of all programs in order to receive credit. Program
covenants will indicate whether these selfevaluations are "in-nouse" or part of the
s~udent's pennanent transcript. In the past,
students could re-write their 'selfevaluations after submission to the
Registration ' office, or remove them
altogether prior to public use; hereafter
"pennanent" means just that.
SevE!ral faculty members expressed
uneasiness about signing self-evaluations:
"I don't know what I'm committing myself
to" was the general tone at the meeting.
This led to a vote that faculty will no longer '
".!3iK!! self-evaluations.
Since program covenants are already in
progress for Winter Quarter, it is doubtful
, that these changes will be effected until
Spring. Faculty also did not discuss the
6O-day grace period after all evaluations are
submitted to the Registration office, when
changes in both self-evaluation and faculty
evaluations of students can be made.
However, it is probable that this grace
~
, period will remain.

Bomb squad rushes
to the scene
....
The bomb squad was called to Evergreen
on Friday, January 2. It was 'quite a
suprise, especially to the woman who called them.
Kathy Kelly of Lab Stores was moving
and checking some waste materials being
stored on campus until they can be properly disposed of when she came across a bottie of 1,2-Dimethoxyethane. This is usually a liquid, but the bottle was empty except
for some crystals.
As the label says: "WARNING - flammable - may form peroxides." There was
a chance that the crystals which had been '
formed by the evaporating liquill, a result
of improper sealing, were explosive. Also,
there was no way to test the crystals, since
the mere act of opening the container could
have been hazardous.
So, Kathy called the person who dealt
with this problem the last time it occurred.
She said, "Last time, he just came in, put
the substance in question into a little bucket
and walked away. This time he told me to
call the fire department, since they are now
equipped to handle these incidents."
She called the fire department and explained the situation. Their response time
was exceptionally good; much to Kathy's
amazement, within a few minutes they had
arrived, evacuated Lab I, made a fire line
, and called the bomb squad. This is a new
procedure, a bit more involved than the little bucket procedure of the past.
Everyone waited for the bomb squad to
arrive. Members of the Olympia community heard the fire department calls on short
wave and rumors spr.ead of exp\.o.sio!1&.and
bomb threats at Evergreen, until the media
became involved. Local radlo carried the
story, and an article was printed in the Daily Olympian on the following Saturday.
The bomb squad arrived and removed the
substance without incident, so the fire
department was not needed in the end.
Kathy Kelly was overwhelmed, but
reassured that the local authorities take the
Evergreen laboratories SQ seriously. She is
pleased to know that if there ever is an
emergency, the response is professional and
quick.
Lab Stores is working on a policy to maintain their level of integrity and to institute
appropriate safety measures in dealing with
potentially dangerous substances. This
way, we hoPefully won't have to call out the
cavalry every time something suspicious
occurs.

Whistles available at eRe
The Campus Recreation Center, once
again, has crime prevention whistles
available to women who wish to carry them.
In response to last quarter's sexual
assaults, the CRC purchased 2 dozen
whistles which were sold at cost or checked out to women to carry overnight. The
information was advertised in the CPJ and
the response was considerable; many
women began carrying the whistles.

supply of whistles to us for free distribution
to women of our commmunity. ·
While carrying a whistle will not prevent
an attack, it can potentially divert an
assailant or summon help more quickly than
a scream. The Recreation and Athletics
staff encourages :ill Evergreen community
women to carry a whistle. They are
'i' available for free from the equipment

course, for emergency use only.)

Governor Gardner's 1987-89 biennial
budget recommendation contains additional
funds for Evergreen, many of which depend
upon increased state revenues, according
to Stan Marshburn, assistant to the
president.
The recommended budget calls, for funding of a 200 student enrollment increase,
100 each year for the next two years; a cor·
responding increase includes the hiring of
five new faculty members each year. All
faculty salaries would increase 10.6 percent
on July 1, 1987 and 4 percent on July 1,
1988. Classified staff would receive a 3 percejIt salary increase on September 1, 1987
~nd another 3 percent on September 1,
1988.
The Governor's Capital Budget is
highlighted by the inclusion of construction
of a campus mUlti-purpose/recreational
center and the remodeling of the Lab An·
nex to create an appropriate space for fine
arts.
Other budget items of interest to the col·
lege include additional money for minority
recruiting and increased funds for instructional equipment and maintenance.
Also included in the budget recommendation is $400,000 for Washington Center,
$300,000 for the National Faculty, and
$300,000 for the Labor Research Center.

is to arrange various interesting things for
the students to do, ideally every day of the
month. From exeursions to Seattle to renting videos, there is a stro~g attempt at
making the entertainment vibrant.
Some students have difficulty mixing
with the Geooucks because of language and
cultural barriers. Pamela says that about
one-third of the students feel.intimidated
about approaching Americans to initiate a
friendship. Because the students only take
EF classes, there are 'not as many opportunities to make friends; for some EF
students, making new friends not only
means using the necessary assertiveness,
but also oyercoming a fear of using English.
The professors encourage them to socialize
with Geoducks. Troy says, "I personally en. courage them to shoot pool until 4 a.m. as
long as they do it with American students."
- Francois says of his initial exprerienees,
"At first, when I didn't know anybody, it
was very difficult to make relatiol1&hips.
The students at Evergreen have a lot of patience when talking with EF students. If
I hadn't encountered such a.friendly environment, I wouldn't have learned English
as quickly as I have." Troy mentioned that
Francois has indE'ed learned a lot about
communication. He mentioned that the
mannerisms of affection between friends
differ greatly between France and Japan,
giving the students of all nations opportunities to stretch their horizons far beyond
their imagination.
At $480 to $576 per week, the program
is not cheap, and some of the students'
parents send them money for extra expenses. The EF catalog demonstrates some
of the recreational activities of the Northwest, yet students must become familiar

"intercultural literacy," then you're way ahead of the ga~e .

tant and in fact right now in the state of Washington there is a
legislative committee that is looking at legislation that will essentially divest the state of Washington from South Africa. We've
had several students from our campus, along with the Univeristy
of Washington, who have visited the governor's office, and visited
with his staff, specifically requesting that they divest. This is an
issue that is both personal and world. If it can happen there it
can l)appen here.
I think one of the difficulties that our country and our administra·
tion and the people who are invested in a political way in this coun·
try have with addressing apartheid is that it is very close to our
own experience as a country. Blacks were brought here as slaves,
and they were owned, and that was not that long ago. So, there's
a great deal of difficulty in looking at apartheid, because in a very
real way it requires that we look at ourselves and our own per·
sonal history, and that's tnghteniM. It'Rmllf'h """;".. to 1",,1. nut

it's critical. One of the things that impressed me about Evergreen
when I interview~d was that this was one of the very few school~
that has divested. And not a little bit, but ~ompletely.
I know that there's an argument that's put forth by some
students that we as a college contract with people who have investments, but as a conscious decision on our part we-are not invested in South Africa. And it's more and more difficult to find
out who is arid who isn't; I would much rather see if we can't find
ways to change the people we interact with-say "This is our policy,
these are our beliefs, we feel that it is critical that we inform you
of this, and we don't approve."
I'm pleased with what I see in students across the country
because they're not taking the attitude that apartheid and
divestiture is an issue that's too big for little old me; ins4!ad they're

the national board of the Young Women's Christian Association.

the Mfirmative Action plans of community and state YWCAs
across the United States. Since I was one of the board members
given this assignment, I went through a training session, and the
first Mfrrmative Action trainer I
ever had was Eleanor Holmes
Norton. At that time, she was
associated with the state of New
York, and headed up their Human
Rights Commission . She, along
with two other trainel1', came in

realized that personally, as a
Chicana, it had great impact. I
saw that this wasn't just an
a-ssignment, that this was
something that pesonally impacted me, and my family, and my
community, which is a farmworker community in the Yakima
valley. So I had a personal intjerest
as well as board res~nsibility.

Jennifer: How can we do better in the area of interculturallitemcy
in the curriculum?
Margarita: Just in tenns of attitude, and this is speaking primarily
to those who say, "Well, I don't know what to do and this is a
lot of work." We have to embrace intercultural literacy as a way
of celebrating life, and not 'doing 'penance.
This is not just intercultural, it has to do with sexual orientation as well; we have people who are homophobic; who are sexist,
who suffer from fear of many things. It'll be easier if we identify
people who are less threatening to interact with us, dialogue with
us so that we can change the context of seeing, so that we can
be more inclusive in the kind of materials we use and in the kind
of knowledge we put forth to students.
I think that the students have a greater role than they think
, they do. I think I've had enough experiences at diffferent institutions that I can say this from my own observation: the students
at this institution through the evaluation process-evaluating their
faculty--have the ability to really shape the programs, the curriculum, and also the behavior of faculty. Ignorance is not an excuse, but in some cases -faculty or staff who through their lives
have exhibited certain behavior that is not acceptable will continue that behavior unitl someone says, "stop." And in this society and on this campus, people are so nice--they work so hard at
saying things in a way that will not be hurtful or not ruin
somebody's reputation. I would like very much to see people be
more direct about what they observe, really take individuals to
account about their behavior and about language that, in the words
of the 'Chief Justices of the Supreme Court, "create a hostile environment for individuals." I think it's time to, not beat people

up, but to be much more direct in saying, "This is inappropriate,
this is unacceptable and I'm telling you face to face, and if it doesn't
stop, then it's something that I am going to include in my faculty
evaluation of you. And there are procedures by which I can speak
to your superiors if it doesn't change, and I have support in this."
I would hope that the legislation and the position of this institu·
tion, of the president, of the trustees, and of this office will be
seen as the backup to them, so that they can, in fact, say what
they believe and what they feel, and make that individual
accountable.
Jennifer: We talk a lot about the improvements that have been
made at this school, and there have been many, yet when 1 go out

to change? Does it need to change?
Margarita: Oh, it needs to change, it definitely has to change. Part
of the change took place-when President Olander reorganized the
staff, because now, of his three vicE!'presidents, two of them are
women; he has two men of color who are deans; he has two female
administrators who are Hispanics, Kathleen Garcia and I. So, there
was an immediate chl,lnge right there. .
When we look at the custodian and facilities area, there have
been promotions of people of color into progressively more responsible positions, and that's how I see that group really being im·
pacted; those are not positions that require so many years of educa·
tion /imd certification] . The most difficult area that we have as
'far as reaching our goals for Afiu-mative Action is the area of
journeymen, craftsmen, plumbers, those kind of folks, that require
very specialized expertise, and require certificatees. If they are
not there in the pool of applicants, then the Affinnative Action ,
guidelines which are set forth by the gtate say that we will look
at the people we have employed and we will train them, so that
they are qualified for those positions.
It's a matter of reaching out affinnatively to protected class
groups and telling them what we've got; hopefully they'll see ,
what's here, and like what they see, and apply.
Jennifer: One last question. Inlooking at the nature oforganizaticms, aren't there waY8 in which bureaucracy is inhirently sex·
ist or racist?
Margarita: Absolutely. In fact, ~he jobs of Affirmative Action of·
ficers are much more critical in the ~s of systemic discrimina·
tion: systemic racism, sys~mic sexism, whereby systems are set
up to exclude women or exclude peOple of color, or exclude people of different national origins which limit their language ability, for instance. That, in fact, is not a variable that should eliminate
them from certain job opportunities. So the systemic ills are of
a much' more critical nature simply because they affect so many
people. With individual sexism, individual racism, then you just
call the person in and say, "You're not going to do this anymore,"
and let them know what the consequences are of them continuing
that behavior; it's fairly easy to get them turned around as
individuals.
When you're looking at the systemic ills of institutions, we have
no idea how many people are discriminated against, and so it's
much, much more important in my mind to get people
knowledgeable and sensitive to the kinds of systems that are set
up, the kind of requirements that I!I"e included in a job that is going to be advertised, and to the way in which we advertise that
job to insure that it reaches protected class groups. That is very
important.

Jennifer: So we also need to look at alternative ways of organizing ourselves.
Margarita: Oh yes, yes. And also look at the kind of interaction
we initiate with different groups. It's real easy to just kind of sit
with the people you nonnany are with and all share the same view
of the world--when Barry Tolkien was here he was talking about
world view and what that means, how we see the world very differently from group to group. How I perceive the world as a
Chicana from a farmworker background is going to be very different from someone who does not have that experience, and the
, only way we can have an overlap or a shared understanding is
by talking. And we're never going to have complete overlap-·we'll
always be our own distinct person. I am who I am and you are
who you are, but through talking we can find out what we share
and what we differ on, and how much we . er. Part of havinL
an intimate relationship with a person is to really explore that,
and that can be done in our programs, where we live, in the social
groups we belong to, the political groups we belong to.
Individuals say, "Well, I don't discriminate," and that's not true.
We discriminate every day. And that's the way we are socialized
in this country; we are socialized to be racist, to be sexist, to have
this body-beautiful belief so that when we see someone who is
disfigured or severely impaired--physically challenged--there is
sometimes an immediate response that is away from them, and
usually that's because, on my part, I'm glad it's them and not me.
lt took me many years to get over the guilt feelings and
. acknowledge that,yes, that's exactly how I feel. That is all trained into us, and until we look inward, we are not going to know
whether we are really even in control of ourselves.
When we use terms such as , "I really jewed him down," because
we got a good deal on a car, or "God, what an Indian giver," those
words just come out of our mouths because it's part of what we
heard, what we learned and never examined. Maybe no one ever
cared about us enough to say, "Now, do you really mean that?
Do you know what you just said? That hurts me, because I know
you don't,believe that." That's the basic line for me-I have to control Margarita, I have to keep tabs on Margarita, monitor myself
to make sure that what I'm saying is really what I'm saying, and
what I mean, and that I don't fall into that socialized way of expressing myself in ways that are hurtful to other people. Each
one of us can do that, you don't have to be an Affirmative Action
officer to do that. You don't have to be the president of the col·
lege to do that, you only have to be perSon that says, "I am in
control of my life and I will decide how I impact people around

Arriving in San Jose, Costa Rica from
Nicaragua is quite a shock to the
unititiated. I had thought that Nicaragua,
with its pervasive North American movies
and Michael Jackson-Stevie Wonder radio
stations, was immersed in North American
popular culture. Costa Rica, with its Pizza
Hut, McDonald's, hamburger stands,
Playboy, and American television (by
satellite) appears to aspire to statehood
following Hawaii.
I was quickly reminded where I was on
the second day of my visit here. On the 17th

Native American
Studies DTF builds a
meaningful dialogue
by Ben Tansey
Discussions on institutional racism,
educational styles and the needs of both
Native American and non·Native American
students continued to be prominent at the
Native American Studies DTF meeting last
January 7.
The 22 member group has been subjec·
ting the NAS academic area to critical
evaluation. On the 7th, members were
made aware that the area is coming up for
a review by the Higher Education Co·
ordinating Board next year. The HEC
board, as it is affectionately known, is .'
Washington State's highest post·secondary
education agency. A dean's letter to the
NASDisappearing Task Force suggested
that without changes, the NAS programs
would not stand up well to the HEC Board
review. Thus, the DTF is operating at a
crucial juncture in the area's history, and
, ........ is. under great pressure.
In view of the coming external review,
it is well that a greater sense of trust be·
tween the diverse membership of the group
appears to be fonning. One member
reported a definite sense of improved cross·
cultural communication. The members are
united in attempting to build a meaningful
dialogue.
Even so, there was some frustration
among members who feel the group is not
progressing quickly enough. The final draft
of the DTF's charge has not been
distributed and there are mixed opinions
about how many subcommittees there '
ought to be and how their priorities should
be defmed. One member did not feel that
the slow progress was a problem: "We need
time to establish bonds of trust," he said.
To aid the subcommittees and the
members generally, a great deal of written
material has been amassed: data on the
ethnic make· up of N AS over the years, per.
sonal statements by members addressed to
the group, articles on cross-cultural issues,
various in·house memos, the Evergreen
Charter and many other items. I t will be
interesting to see who actually goes
through those items (some were copied for
all members, with the bulk put on a special
sheif), especially since the conflict between
oral and written tradition is one of the
issues facing the IYrF. Most members have
contributed materials.
The ethnic history document is quite in·
teresting. It clearly demonstrates the
overall decline of Native Americans in one
of the programs sponsored by the NAS
area. Meanwhile an equally steady rise in
"white" palticipation is documented. In one
program, the non· Indian to Indian ratio in
1977 was 2:1, whereas this year it is 23:1.
Participation by any of the other ethnic
divisions listed·-Asians, blacks, Chicanos··
has rarely crossed the mark-of statistical
significance in the last 10 years. One mao
jor exception to this is that for three con·
secutive years blacks represented almost
a third of those enrolled. Black participa·
tion thenceforth rather cryptically nosedived back into obscurity.
It was suggested by one member that the
declining Native American enrollment be
a principal topic for one of the subcommittees. Other subcommittee topics may well
cover "institutional racism" and the role
NAS plays in individual studies at
Evergreen.

I Have a Dream
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of yo u have come fresh from · -~_,
'n arrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the wi nds of police brutality .. .
Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama , go back to South Carolina , go back to the slums and ghettos of our Northern
cities. knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair .
I say to you today, my friends, t hat In spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment I still have a dream . It is a dream
deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation wi ll rise up .and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be
self-evident: that all men are created equal ... "
.
I have a dream that my four little children wi ll one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin
but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today ...
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be
made plains, and t he crooked places wi ll be made straight, and the glory of th~ Lord shall be revealed , and all flesh shall see it
together.
This is our hope . This is the faith with w hich I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain
despair a stone of hope. With this faith we w ill be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood .
With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for
freedom together, knowjng that we will be free one day. '
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning, "My country 'tis of thee , sweet land of
liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my father cjied, land of the Pilgrims' pride, from every mountainside , let freedom ring."
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of NewHampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of
Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But
not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
What Dr . King Means to Me
To me Dr . King is one of the most.
if not the most. influential persons
of the 20th century. The ideas
that he spoke about in his speeches
and his papers leave a legacy
of greatness. His ~ deas on education,
politics, and social issues have
changed civil rights not only in
the United States but throughout
the world. If I had to pick
just one thing about Dr. King
that makes me such a supporter
of him, it is the fact that h~
could mesmerize an audience
with the sheer power and
emotion in his speech. I wish
everyone knew of Dr. King and
the me'ssage he had for the
people of this country.

by Val Kitchen~ Student Art Gallery
Coordinator
In the November 6 issue of the CPJ, I
said that I believed the arts were "still kickjog" at Evergreen. And they are.
Oh, I've had my doubts. In fact, I was
downright discouraged at several points
during Fall Quarter. But on December 10
and 12 of 1986, my doubts were dissolved;
there were 19 submissions to the Student
Art Gallery by students interested in showing their work Winter Quarter. On
December 13, a group of six Evergreen
students and alumni gathered to view the
work, and by the end of our two· hour
meeting, the gallery space had been
scheduled for the entire WInter Quarter.
Whew! What a relief.
It feels good to know, in advance, what
will be showing and when. Unfortunately,
in the past, it has often happened that- no
new work was available during a given
period of tinle, causing me to keep an existing show hanging longer than the usual
two weeks. Then, sUdderlIy hordes of work
would IUTive, but I would not have the
space or the time to accomodate everyone
fairly. The review process has made it
possible for all work to be looked at during
one day and a schedule to be made up allowing artists equal exposure.
From what I observed and,was told, the
review process was exciting for everyone
involved. Work submitted was varied in
content and level of development. It
was a real rush to see so much visual work
in one place at one time.
I was unsure when I selected the ''review
board" members as to how well we would
all work together since we come from different visual backgrounds, i.e. photography.
sculpture, painting. As it turned out, this
diversity worked to our advantage. We
rarely carne to a consensus immediately and
often never did. Advantage, you say? Yeah,
I think when looking at art, ~ment
can be healthy; discussion surrounding each
body of work was well-based and often
enlightening for me and, I think, f9r the
others involved. One of the best aspects of
working within a group was that many
varying perspectives were represented.
co The group decision-making process has proi ven itself to be a much more fair 'procedure
for selecting student work.
There were other benefits to the process.
Many of the artists who submitted work
were not in art programs, and were not
fonnerly known to me. (That, in itself, may
or may not be a benefit!) But, in the past,
. I have most often pursued the work of artists who I knew or who I came in contact
with t~h arts programs. It seems that
the re j" process has opened the gallery
space:
' much wider range of student
artists. \
Befo~ viewing the work, we made a decision, as a group, that a content criteria
would not be established. We tried hard,
and often had to remind each other, not to
let personal biases interfere-with reviewing the work. The Student Art Gallery
should be a place open to work in progress
and for experimentation. Since space and
time are a factor, some work had to be tum-
ed away; it fell into the "less developed"
category and was returned to the artists
with encouragement to keep working and
re-submit for Spring Quarter. If lack of
space is a,problem during Spring Quarter,
those who have shown previously may have
lower priority. A review of student work
to be shown Spring Quarter has tentatively been set for Saturday, March 21. That
means that students interested in showing
their work in the Student Art Gallery dur. ing Spring Quarter will need to submit a
"portfolio" to Library 3212 on Wednesday,
March 18 or Friday, March 20. .
I would like to thank the "review board"
members once more, as well as those
anonymous someones who contributed support and ideas. And, of course, special
thanks to the artists for involving

WashP,l 'R G,' pushes 'f or
legislative action
by Ron Smithrud
The Washington State Legislature
reconvened this past Monday here in Olympia. During this session, WashPIRG, the
state's largest consumer and environmental group, will be pushing for legislative action on four high-priority issues
The passage of legislation to ensure the
safe transportation of nuclear waste on out
state's roads and waterways is currently
WashPIRG's top priority issue in the state.
In a similar vein, WashPIRG is also focusing on the clean-up of existing radioactive
and chemical waste at the Hanford military
'reservation in Eastern Washington.
The principal consumer issues are a
telephone industry proposal to charge fees
on local telephone service, and
WashPIRG's efforts to pass legislation to
set strict limits on the number of days that
banks can hold persqnal checks before you
have access to funds in your account.
For example, new Evergreen f:ri.udents
moving into the area from out of state often
.must wait up to twenty days before they
can get money from the check they use to
open their account, often resulting in
serious financial hardship.
Other issues that WashPIRG will be
working on include ! he state SupeHlmd,
utility rate issues, voter registration requirements, and issues concerning WPPSS.
Evergreen students Jackie Kettman and
Don Heyrich will be. wO!'king on these
issues in the legislature this Winter as part
of WashPIRG's student intern program.
Another Evergreen student, Jane-Ellen
Weidanz, will be doing an on~mpus internship, coordinating student involvement in
the legislative process.
WashPIRG meets every Monday night in
LIB 3121 at 7 p.m. Everybody is welcome
to attend. For further information, contact

Peking acrobats to exhibit daring and balance
by Bob Stewart
The Men's Resource Center is sponsoring a co-concert of The Righteous Mothers,
a five-women band, and Geof Morgan,
guitarist and songwriter, who will perform
in the Recital Hall Friday, January 23
beginning at 7:30 p.m.

roles of men to wearing glasses.
The RighteOUS Mothers are a group of
women who specialize in close harmony and
accompany themselves with a combination
of piano, acoustic and bass guitars, violin

topics as racism, aging and ice cream.
Evergreen's Men's Resource Center is a
student organization which provides services and activities for pro-feminist men of
the Evergreen community interested in
learning more about themselves and about
feminism, and for women who are interested in learning more about men.
Tickets are available at Rainy Day

Return of an R & B master
Banish Misfortune brings "Renaissance Jazz"
by Jon Epstein
Banish Misfortune is an appropriate name
for this most unusual group of musicians a terrific trio with just the right formula to
banish the January blahs.
Last year Banish Misfortune performed
at Evergreen to a sold out and satisfied au·
dience. Because so many people were turned away at the door last year, Banish
Misfortune has decided to give two performances this year on Saturday, January 24,
at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. at the Recital
Hall. General admission is $9.00; $5.00 for
Evergreen students, seniors and KAOS
radio subscribers. You can pick up your
tickets at the Evergreen Bookstore or
Rainy Day records in West Olympia. You
can make reservations by calling 866-6833.
Because of the popularity of this group,
reservations are strongly advised. The concert is sponsored by KAOS-FM radio.
Using lines like "Renaissance Jazz" to describe their music, this trio seems to
transcend the boundaries of time and space,
mixing styles and instruments from the
middle ages to the present. The instrumentation of the Seattle-based group includes
guitars, mandolin, mandocello, lute, concertina, recorders, gemshorns, krummhorn,
schrierfief, rackett, doucaine, keyboards,
flute, cornamuse, Irish pennywhistles and
a variety of mallet percussion and hand
drums, including vibraphone, marimba,
xylophone, bells, congas" bongos and
dumbek.
Banish Misfortune combines troubadour
songs of the Middle Ages and Renaissance
with lively Irish reels and jazz flavored improvisations, and then presents these with
an irrepressible wit that has been
delighting audiences internationally for a
decade. The concerts at Evergreen will
mark the ten-year anniversary of Banish
Misfortune. For this special occasion, the
band-members have decided to collaborate
with their long-time friend Walt Wagner,
the Northwest's favorite improvisational
jazz pianist. In some circles Walt Wagner
is more of a household word than Banish
Misfortune. Walt Wagner is known for performances full of energy and a pervading'
sense of humor, which compliment his deep
love of music. Walt has appeared in concert
with Bill Cosby, Bob Hope, Lily. Tomlin,
George Bums, Sammy Davis, Jr:, and as ,

by Day's classic hit "Rodon' Robin,"
The Johnny Otis Show: Into the Eighties
is Otis' second record in four years. The
album spotlights four different vocalists in·
cluding Delmar "Mighty Mouth" Evans,
Barbara Morrison, Charles Williams, and
Otis himself.
The material contains such hits as "Stand
By Me," the Shirelles' "Will You Love Me
Tomorrow," and Otis' classic hit from 1950,
"Rock and Roll Wedding," originally per·
formed by Little Ester and Mel Walker,
.The new version by Johnny Otis and
Delmar "Mighty Mouth" Evans is nothing
if not more vibrant and more enjoyable than
the original.
'
Other outstanding cuts include "Hide
Away" -- an exciting guitar solo by Otis'
son, Shuggie Otis -- as well as "Hit That
Jive, Jack Rollin'" and "I'm Gonna Leav~
These Women Alone," both featuring the
vocals of Johnny Otis.
The music on Into the Eighties includes
material from a wide variety of sources -songs by Billie Holiday, Isaac Hays, and the
Shirelles. Otis has been performing-for over
50 years and, although he is white. approaches the , largely black domain of
Rhythm and Blues with the t?,uch of one
who cares deeply about his fi~ld.
The son 'of a Greek immigrfnt, Johnny
Otis considers himself black, "I became
what I am,"' he has written, "because as a
, child I reacted to the way of life, the special
vitality, the atmosphere of the black com·
munity. No number of objections ...can alter
the fact that I cannot think of myself as
white."
His career began in the 30's, originally as
a drummer, in Count Otis Matthew's
Oakland House Rockers. By 1945 he had
formed his own band which included such
notable musicians as Big Jay McNeely ,
Preston Love, Bill Doggett, and Jimmy
Rushing. He is responsible for discovering
such di'¢'erse talent as Little Ester, Big
Mama Thornton, Hank Ballard and the Mid·
nighters, Jackie Wilson, and Little Willie
John.
Into the Eighties is a loVing tribute tu
Rhythm and Blues by one of its old
masters. At times the carefully or·
chestrated nostalgia is almost elegant, but

at the University of San Salvador, which
was closed when student groups and the ·
military were fighting. The military looted
and destroyed the campus, which was
covered with anti-government gratitti. Her
brother, who was active politically, had to
escape to another country to avoid tlte
death squads.
Dolores says she is a moderate because
what she wants most is peace and tranquility, and to continue her business. She received her degree in Business Administration
in Costa Rica despite local prejudice against
other Central Americans (who are generally poorer and darker than Costa Ricans).
She doesn't like the U.S., the Soviet
Union, the Sandinistas, the Cubans or the
right-wing governments of Costa Rica, El
Salvador, and Honduras. She admires
Japan. Unlike her brother and many of her
friends, she thinks that political involvement is a mistake which only serves to
make life worse for everyone. Consequently, she didn't support the campesinos'
demonstration in San Jose. From her point
of view, the campesinos should be helped
-- a little, when it is possible.
She hasn't seen EI Salvador in eight
years, and contends that Duarte is no improvement upon earlier right-wing governments. Her nephew, Jorge, who studies in
Costa Rica and returns annually to EI
Salvador, laughed when I told him that

Motorists buckle up·-or shell out $47
Since January 1, Washington motorists
have had another incentive to wear their
seat belts: if they're cited for not buckling
up, they'll face a fine of $47. The six-month
grace period in which only warning tickets
were issued ended at midnight, December
31.
Govenor Booth Gardner said in a recent
release that motorists who aren't using Se2.t
belts are risking more than just a traffic
ticket. "When I first heard about this seat
belt legislation, I was skeptical," he said.
"But no more. I've seen the statistics, and
I've heard about the peole whose lives have
been saved. Our motorists have taken this
law to heart."
Gardner said the state had about 8 percent fewer fatalities this year compared to
Dr. George M. Beckmann, provost of the
University of Washington, has donated

history, politics and economic development.

troopers issued more than 20,000 written
and verbal warnings to motorists who
weren't buckled up. If every one of those
warnings had been a citation, the total cost
to those cited would have been almost $1
million in fines.
Booth Gardner and George Tellevik, chief
of the Washington State Patrol, praised the
state's news media for raising public
awareness about the seat belt law and the
life-saving potential of seat belts. Tellevik
urged news reporters to indicate in their
stories whether accident victims were
wearing seat belts. "Seat belts often determine whether the story is about an accident
victim who died or one who walked away,"
he said.

has increased substantially because of traffic to Expo.
"However, too many people have died.
We can do better," he said. "Every life
wasted because the victim wasn't wearing
a seat belt is a senseless tragedy. Particularly distressing is the fact that drivers
under 25, are grossly over represented in
the accident statistics."
"Believe me, we see what happens to
drivers who wear there seat belts--and
those who dOll't," he said. "Buckling up is
an easy, cheap and effective way for people to protect themselves against the real
threat of being seriously hurt or worse in
an accident."

I'm responding to Mr. Jeff Kennedy's letter in your December 4 issue. I don't argue
that advertising for the military is plagued
with falsehoods, but as a member of the
U.S. military I fmd it quite insulting for Mr.
Kennedy to benignly compare us to neoNazis or call us inhumane.
I would ask Mr. Kennedy not to equate
his misconceptions of military advertising
with the people in the armed services. To
coin an old phrase, "Don't judge a book by
its cover." Similarly, don't condemn the
people enlisted in the armed services '
because you don't happen to agree with its
advertisements.
I challenge Mr. Kennedy to find one example of a promotion to "Kill Jews ... " as
he, so belligerently put it.
People in the military hold some of the
most stressful jobs there are. We are just
the work force, not policy makers of the
government. Don't verbally crucify us
.because you happen not to agree with the
p]'esent administration policies.
I urge you to have more than just a
miniscule understanding of the military and
the.jobs they do before you write any more
slanderous letters against the armed forces
in general.

Sincerely,
David W. Strong
Thanks for printing the great humor
piece in the December 4th issue; there's
nothing like a little levity to get the holidays
oft'to a good start. Making fun of ourselves
helps us keep our little world in perspec·
