Editor' 5 note:
Great, you say, another Governance issue_
Well, this time the news is that
some people are doing somethi.ng
about it. Three concrete proposals
from the Governance DTF are included here this week, along with
a few opinion pieces from interested folks who are up on the
issue.
While we have tried to present
this news in an interesting manner, even we look over these
pages, as .they sit on the light
tables, and think "great, another
governance issue_"
The reason is that something is
being asked of us_
I probably can't say anything
about governance that you
haven't already heard-your
responsibility as community
members, the uncertain future of
our school, the very real possibility that we can make a difference
. here. It's all true . . ,
Yet we're bored with
documents, bored with meetings,
bored with fluorescent lights. The
only advice I can give is this: the
closer you are to the action, to the
people who care about this enough
to work for it, the more accessible it will be to you, the more you
will feel your own power, your
own investment in this place.
So I throw this out: get closer
to it than reading words on paper.
Say something out loud. Spend
one, just one, Wednesday saying
those things in the places where
they will count. See if you feel any
different-if the words you'll read
in this issue have an added
dimension.
Enough of that-too much only
seems to make matters worse.
Besides governance information, we have many other entertaining pieces this week.
Have fun.

burger-bundle

i.

I just thought I'd write and let you know
about the misleading Burger King coupon
in last week's issue of the Cooper Point
J ourna!. The ad claimed one would get a
free "burger bundle" -- a package containing three burgers -- with the purchase of
a first .
Seeing the ad, my friends and I rushed
down to Burger King convinced that six
burgers would be enough for three people.
We were wrong! The "burger bundles"
turned out to be a boxed set of miniature
burgers the size of Grandma's cookies.
We had braved the freezing, sub-arctic
temperatures of Olympia for six miniscule .
cookie-burgers. So, unsatisfied, we once
again braved the elements, fighting our
way across the street to Pizza Hut, where
for $14 we ordered a Priazzo Italian pie.
I'd like to take this opportunity to express my deep felt satisfaction with Burger
King, and urge other intelligent readers of
the Cooper Point Journal not to be
suckered in by this ill-conceived
advertising.
Regretfully yours,
Chris Schuh

~ Native

Americans

To the Editor,
I would like to comment on your latest
i'ssue dealing with celebrations of cultural
difference. Although you highlighted Martin Luther King Day, Tribute to Japan, and
our Afflrmative Action Program, there is

one aspect of cultural awareness that is
missing. The influence of Indian people in
this community does not deserve to go
without recognition. I realize that there was
an article about the Native American
Studies DTF, but attempting to understand
institutional racism is not a celebration of
cultural difference. Mr. Tansey's suggestion
that one subcommittee may well cover the
issue of institutional racism is a statement
that needs clarrncation. All of the concerns
surrounding this study group are mere
symptoms of the issue of institutional
racism. His article states a concern of the
number of Indian people enrolled in the program, when the concern should be what
is the administration doing about recruitment and retention of people of color on this
campus. Although last week's events were
important to celebrating cultural difference,
let us not forget about the caretakers of this
land in which most of you are guests.

and corporate culture. An Evergreen
education must continue as an end in itself,
a process that allows and forces us to
evaluate our society and our own values,
and that teaches us how to apply our values
to our lives. This is what is at stake. If
students fail to organize now, we will lose
any voice in determining what the campus
will become. We cannot continue to react
to administrative aecisions. We must set
our oWn agenda and actively pursue it.
Anarchists, liberals, libertarians, communists, conservatives -- we all have a stake
in what is to come. Please consider this and
act to mak~ this campus an open and vital
community. Greeners Unite!

To all of my relations,
Gary Wessels Galbreath

Open letter to the Student Community:

Please look for our upcoming Native
American Community Issue, February 5,
for an examination of these, and other
topics of interest and importance. --J. S.

governance

The Governance DTF received what I felt
to be some good advice from a student at
UC, Santa Cruz. Two years ago students
there wrote a constitution and began to
challenge decisions of the administration.
What this student said was, "Don't be
afraid to challenge the long range plans"
of the institution. We must present
ourselves, as students, as a united front
that can shape and challenge the course of
Evergreen's future.
I was attracted to Evergreen because it
appeared to be a place with a liberal attitude toward education and community.
There are no rigid admissions requirements. Students are challenged to be
seif-motivated. Students area given the
freedom to fail. I came because I wanted
the freedom to learn how to think, and this
is a freedom that almost no other school offers. There are no rigid ideas about what
constitutes a legitimate major, or what the
best form for an education should be.
This can and is changing. Evergreen is
at a turning point. A friend said to me
yesterday that we must keep Evergreen
from becoming another community college.
Evergreen must not focus on preparing
students for careers in the dominant social

Eric Kuhner

The CPJhas dedicated this issue to student governance at Evergreen. I know that
many of you may feel this to be the most
boring subject possible. But consider the
possibility of conspiracy on campus. It is
well known that this campus has been
designed and located to facilitate the control of student demonstra t ion s. The
clock tower is located centrally as an observation post to monitor the campus, and it
is connected to the steam tunnel vents that
extend under the schoo!'
The truth of this type of paranoia IS Irrelevant: but it is unquestionably rampant
among many segments of student population. There can be no trust of administrators in such an atmosphere, and indeed there appears to be little reason for
trust. But the issue facing us as students
is not the conspiracy of the Network or the
devious design of the campus. The issue is
the future of this school: What do we want
Everqreen to become?
When you hear the word "governance"
on this,campus, do you cringe? Do you see
bogged-down boardrooms, a flashing sign
that promises more "RESPONSIBILITY"
to eat into your already hectic schedule, or
unintelligible systems run by those
mysterious administrators on the library
building's third floor? Yeah, me too!!
But I and a few other students have
chosen to brave the administrative monster
here at Evergreen, to try to devise a way
for our fellow students to take part in an
efficient, "user-friendly" way. We joined
the Disappearing Task Force (DTF) on
Governance, in an attempt to remedy the
fact that this school has had essentially 1W w

Tacoma students protest
racist shooti ngs

The Evergreen Tacoma campus is
presently in the midst of racial tensions.
The Fall shootings of blacks and officers on
K Street have set off controversy between
the black community and the Tacoma Police
Department.
Maxine Mimms, director/coordinator of
the Tacoma campus, said that "faculty and
students have registered complaints
against the police department."
One student, Oscar Tillman, is a member
of the review board which is examining the
report presented to the public by a group
of consultants concerning the efficiency of
the Tacoma Police Department. Tillman is
also an Executive Board member of the
Tacoma chapter of the NAACP.
"I'm concerned with the rise of the frequency of fatal and injurious shootings in
the black community," Tillman said. He
says that there is a problem with the

predominantly white police force and how
they perceive the black community.
"You cannot have a police department
that you believe is out there for your protection that you are afraid of...! have a fear
of the police stopping me at night. I would
cringe," he said. Tillman described the
irony in having no fear of the community,
which is perceived as a high-crime area, no
fear of entering the Blue Bird Tavern on
K Street, but, instead a fear of being stopped by the police.
"The only things you hear are the bad
things," Tillman said about the negative
perception of the neighborhood. "Only
issues of crime are addressed" by the
media, not positive news such as "the K/J
Street Boosters or families who have lived
here all their lives," he said. "I know there
is crime, but the perception of the
neighborhood as a bad area -- I disar·"" ,.

The shootings have made the 160 Tacoma
students .- 85 percent minority -- more
a ware of the oroblems of perception, training and leadership in the Tacoma Police
Department. Tillman feels his presence on
campus brings the issue closer to the
students. He made an analogy to the
presence of an American Indian student in
class bringing issues concerning Indians to
the other students' awareness. "There was
a rally last Sunday (January 11) and some
students showed up."
Tillman emphasized that the issue is one
of police killing people, not a strictly racial
one. He attended the December funeral
of a white officer who was accidentally killed by another officer last fall.
The black community is now waiting for
a response to the January rally. Tillman
said if they receive no response, they will
rally again.

New tax laws
won't affect aid

'<t"

The Financial Aid staff at Evergreen has
reported that the new tax laws will not
have a major effect on financial aid requirements. The staff does, however, warn
students to pick up forms early, and to be
prepared with necessary information when
applying for fmancial aid.
Georgette ehun, director of fmancial aid,
has stressed that students must "accurately" fill out all forms required and read the
information that is on the financial aid forms
carefully. She went on to add that one of
the biggest problems the financial aid office has is students not filling out the forms
correctly. All information given to the
Financial Aid office must coordinate with
past income tax returns.
With roughly forty to fifty percent of the
student body at Evergreen receiving some
kind of financial aid, the need for accurate
and complete information is imperative, if
the students are to get their financial aid
in a timely fashion .

Sgt. Eddy says, "License your bike"
Sergeant Da~n Eddy of Evergreen
Security began a bicycle licensing program
last Fall to help trace stolen or lost bicycles
on campus.
The license itself is a small, .numbered
sticker 'that is registered with Security.
When 8 bicycle with a license is found,
Security will look up the number and contact the owner.
You can obtain a bike license at Security, Sem 2150. First, you will be asked to
fill out a registration form consisting of your
name and address, and information about
the make, model, size, color, accessories and
serial number of your bike. Security keeps
a copy and you receive one for your own

records. The fee is one dollar, with the proceeds going to the campus Bike Shop.
Bicycles that are found on campus, if
unclaimed, are put into a storage locker,
and kept for six months to a year. If still
unclaimed, they are sold in an auction.
According to Sgt. Eddy, most theft occurs because the bicycle has been left
unlocked. The typical thief does not want
to keep the bike, they just see an unlocked
bike as a quick way to get from one place
to another, abandoning the bike once they
get there. Eddy estimates that a couple
dozen bikes are reported stolen from campus each year.

Infotrac unveiled at Library

..
200 new beds OK'd by Trustees
The Evergreen Board of Trustees officially approved the construction of new dorms
to house 200 students at their January 13
meeting.
The housing project, which is expected to
be completed by Fall of 1987, will be located
between the dorms and the mods, overlooking the lower soccer field. A minimum of

60 construction bids are expected before
the January 23 deadline. Next, a selection
committee, comprised of s~dents and staff,
will accept one of the bids by February 13.
Building specifications are such that
specially marked trees will not be damaged or cut down.

There's a new computer system in the
Evergreen library called Infotrac. Are you
immediately taken aback by tl~e word
"system?" Have no anxiety! Infotrac is
very simple to use. A guide to the machine
is attached to the keyboard with easy to
follow directions.
Infotrac is free to all library users, and
is located near the reference desk. Its purpose is to facilitate access to periodical titles
and government documents. Periodical
titles date back to 1983, while government
documents are available from 1979 on.
To use the computer, you simply type in
a subject or name and the screen shows you
information on that title in print. You may

'I

get a printout of the information you find
free of cost. Evergreen may not necessariIy have the information on hand, however
you can usually order it through interlibrary loan.
\
The computer basically takes the place of
the Reader's Guide to Periodicals, and
makes otherwise tediouS-to-find government documents more accessible.
You can also use Infotrac at the
Timberland Library. It is here at
Evetgreen on a trial basis, so be sure to let
the staff know what you think of the system
by' filling out a question,naire when you use
the computer.

Forest Management Plan angers ERe

New science
• faculty hired

Sleeping disorder?

I

The Olympic National Forest Management Plan was released last November, and
the Forest Service is accepting comment on
the plan through February 27. This plan'"
would govern use of forest land for 10-15
years, and it also sets goals for the next
50-150 years. It prescribes timber harvest
levels, old-growth harvest levels, and the
amount of acreage allocated for all other
land uses , such as wildlife and recreation.
The Environmental Resource Center
(ERC), located on the Evergreen campus,
be lieve s that the plan is woefully
inadequate.
Only about 100/0 of the original old-growth
forest in Western Washington remains. The
Forest Service's management plan would
allow timber companies to cut 57% of all remaining old-gro~h in the next 50 years. In .
addition, the plan would allow the cutting
of 96% of all old-growth left in the National
Forest that is economical to cut, or not required by law to satisfy the minimum

management r equirements. Rusty Post of
the ERC is among those who find fault with
t he proposed plan. The above data show
that this plan "is contradictory to any interpretation of multiple use and sustained
yield," the two major principles supposedly governing forest land-use policy.
In total, 54% of the forest will be logged
within the next 50 years. The plan would
eliminate 40% of all roadless acreage, and
would allow significant cutting in riparian
areas; it would provide Wild and Scenic
River status to only two of the six major
eligible rivers. In addition, and possibly
most critical,· the Forest Service admits
that the plan would almost ensure the extinction of the Spotted Owl on the Olympic
Peninsula, in apparent violation of the Endangered Species Act.
Two local groups are involved with protecting the forest. The Olympic National
Forest Task Force, a collection of conservation groups like the Sierra Club and the
National Audubon Society , are holding a

public meeting on Wednesday, February 28 I
at the downtown Timberline library at 7
p.m. Chuck Sisco, an Audubon represen·
tative, will talk about the plan, old growth
forests, and the Spotted Owl.
A group of Evergreen students are
meeting regularly on Sunday evenings at
7 p.m. at varying locations to discuss the
issues and plan for getting student and
citizen involvement. The location of these
meetings can be found out by contacting the
ERC at 866-6000, x6784 after 11 a.m. The )
ERC can also be contacted for more infor.
mation about the plan.
Copies of the Management Plan and supporting documents are available at the I
Forest Service office in the Federal I
Building on Capitol Way in downtown l
Olympia. The deadline for submitting letters to the Forest Service is February 27.
Both the ERC and the Olympic National
Forest Task Force consider public comment i
absolutely essential.

WashPIRG SPOnSOrS noon ·forum

-.D

•

WashPIRG will be sponsoring a noontime presentation Tuesday, J l;lnuary 27 in
the Lecture Hall Rotunda. WashPIRG interns will be giving short descriptions of the
issues that WashPIRG is pushing for
passage in the legislature this Winter.
Evergreen students are in a unique position to influence what is decided at the
capitol campus. I t is with this in mind that
WashPIRG is bringing information on some
of the most important issues to our campus.
Two of the main bills that WashPIRG will
be lobbying for deal with nuclear waste.
Transportation of nuclear waste can pose
major threats to the people of our state,
especially if Hanford is chosen as the
nuclear dump for the U.S. The legislation
before the House and Senate this year
would implement a permit and fee system.
This system would provide funding for
training of emergency response teams and
increased inspections of vehicles carrying
nuclear waste. (See related article)
The other major issue is clean-up of the
Hanford reservation. Since the '40's, Hanford has been dumping nuclear and toxic
wastes less than six miles from the Columbia river. It is a major priority that this
dumping be stopped.

WashPIRG also deals with consumer
issues that directly affect students. Mandatory local measured telephone service
(LMS) is an area that WashPIRG has been
focusing on for some time. LMS means you
have to pay for all local telephone calls just
like long distance phone calls. Two years
ago the public received a temporary ban
that ends this year on LMS. WashPIRG is
all for cheaper phone rates, but the phone
company cannot prove that LMS would be
cheaper for all its consumers. Therefore,
LMS should remain an option and not a requirement.
Another issue that ,directly affects
students is Bank Check clearing. Most
banks in this area hold out-of-town and outof-state checks anywhere from three to 21
days. As many know from experience, this
can cause major'financial ~roubles for consumers while they are waiting for access
to their money.
WashPIRG will be discussing these
and other at their Tuesday, Jan 27 presentation, beginning at noon. Free food will be
available and rumor has it that there will
be some type of entertainment.

The Faculty Hiring DTF completed interviews on Wednesday, January 14 for faculty positions in chemistry and psychology,
and expects to have decisions made soon,
according to Roberta Floyd, administrative
assistant to the academic deans.
The two new hirings are part of a program of faculty hiring that is expected to
grow "as long as gTowth is funded by the
legislature," said Roberta. Faculty openings that should be filled by Fall include
positions in teacher education, management
and the public interest, and the arts. Announcements will be made as candidates accept positions.
Two positions filled in the last two months
are Jim Ebersoll, who will be teaching
ecology beginning in Fall Quarter, 1987,
and Bill Ritchie, who began teaching printmaking this quarter.
Asked if the DTF has had many applications fo the new positions, Roberta
answered, "boxes." She emphasized that
the hiring DTF was wroking with a "large,
highly competitive applicant pooL" The
DTF selects -among candidates by weighing
a numerical grading system of their applications, their interviews, and formal presentations made by each applicant.

Student office move impending
Due to increasing demand for office space
on campus, it is expected that the Student
Groups housed on the third floor of the
Library building will have to be moved.
Although S & A's lease on the office will not
expire until 1991, the administration fears
that with the expected increase in Full
Time Enrollments (FTEs) next year, there
will be a shortage of office space and the
student groups will have to clear out.
David Campbell, Student Services and
Activities (S & A) coordinator, has proposed that the offices be moved into the CAB

Every Greener's
Governance Primer
by Katn Martin
I

First there's the word -- governance. Images fester: an overheated conference room
filled to capacity with taxidennist's back
stock, committee reports in triplicate neatly
typed in only two short days, words like
"facilitize" and "coordinationary" merrily
zipping over your brain cage. Well, ...
- Webster's defines governance as "the act,
manner, function or power of government."
Government being "La.) the exercise of
authority over a state, district, organization, institution, etc.; direction; control;
rule; management."
You knew that. But this is a primer. We
have to redefine the word to make it meaningful to us.
A person active in governance called it
"the things that we do every day to insure
Evergreen and preserve its quality."
Another person termed governance "an
open dialogue between students, administration and faculty." It was also referred to as "getting yours." Whatever your
perspective, governance, the decisionmaking process at Evergreen, will affect
you and you might as well have something
to say about it.

How You Can Do Something Now
The most effective way of dealing with
a problem is at its source. If a stuaent is
having a conflict over an administrative
decision, they should talk with an administrator concerned with that topic.
There is sure to be one. If the problem is
with a faculty member, first communicate
with him or her, When this isn't possible,
or doesn't work, try tal.king with an'
academic dean (there are four), Gail Martin (Vice-President for Student Affairs she has open meetings on Mondays at noon)
or Margarita Mendoza de Sugiyama
(Special Assistant to the president and Mfirmative Action Officer). All of these people are open and receptive to students.
Other alternatives are: active soliciting of
student/faculty support, demonstrating,
suggesting a DTF to one of the Viceco Presidents, going to any number of
, meetings, open forums and communicating

with other members of the Evergreen
Experiment.
Meeting schedules, current DTF information, notices of upcoming DTFs that need
members, and background knowledge are
all available at the Student Communciation
Center, lodged in the Information Center
on the main floor of the CAB. They also
have material on the history of Evergreen,
its people, its principles. And they are
organizing a diverse networking service.
Tell them what you want to do, and they'll
try to put you in contact with others interested in same. An artist's collective, for
instance, or the Young Republicans.
On the glass partition between the
bookstore and the CAB looms an immense
. Current Events Calendar, or Governance '
Board. The information on it is usually upto-date.
.

The Basis for Governance at
Evergreen
"Student Rights and Respo'nsibilities,"
also known as the Social Contract is
Evergreen's alternative to rules. It is a
veritable constitution, but not in the moldy
sense. The Social Contract, designed by the
founders of the college, states that
"DeCision-making processes must provide
equal opportunity to initiate and participate

The Governance DTF

M wnrk

in policy making." The agreements in the
Contract are fundamental for understanding and participating in the Evergreen ,
community. Really. If you feel part of the
Social Contract has been violated, you have
a situation that calls for governance. The
campus mediator in such an event is Stone
Thomas (Dean of Student Development)
an~ the legal advisor is Richard Jones
(Faculty -- Psychology). The Information
Center has extra copies of the Social Contract and the Governance Handbook, a good
contact reference.

Governance DTF will be holding an open
forum to discuss student governance. The
forum is an opportunity for students to tell
the DTF how they feel about this issue, as
well as present an opportunity to comment
on rrroposals that have been presented to the
DTF. Outlines of three of these proposals
are presented following this article, and
tables will be set up in the CAB during the
week before the forum to make tJ/£ full texts
of these and other proposals available.
If you wish to attend the DTF meetings,
they are held every Wednesday from 12 2 p.m. in Lib 2221. The DTF plans to
release a final proposal by the end of
February. Please take the time to come to
the forum, or to the meetings, and express
your views.

Empowerment through
structure
by Steven Aldrich

Students want to be involved in deciding
how The Evergreen State College is structured and what educational opportunities
the college offers them. Ifwe, as students,
were involved in this process, the college
would meet our needs better.
This proposal for involving students in
the above process assumes a representational democratic structure, using the current committee system, and provides the

Proposal II:

Involvement should be easier
by Eric Kuhner

What Next?
Ask the Student Communication Center,
Read the Caleridar. Read the Contract.
Complain about something. Encourage
growth. Talk with a faculty member, or
someone in the administration. Talk with
your friends.
For those wanting to be part of developing a governance system -- a DTF is now
in progress. The InfoCenter has meeting
times. A DTF dealing with the Grievance
and Appeals process has been meeting since
the middle of Fall Quarter. They want to
know what you think. And, always, you can
, suggest a DTF, or otherwise voice your opinions on issues that are important to you. 0

Proposal I:

My goal in writing this proposal is to
make involvement in campus issues easy
and enjoyable for as many students as
possible. Student governance should empower all of us, and we should all feel that
our views are heard and considered. This
structure is designed to validate the diversity of our opinions as students. It also
allows us however, to reach consensus on
an issue -- if we find that to be useful -- and
to pursue that consensus as student policy.
As studentS, we have the power of numbers
and the knowledge that we are the reason
that this institution exists. We can do
anything!
Before we can act on our opinions, we
have to know what is going on. ConsequentIy, there should be governance information
incorporated into the college catalogue and
into campus tours. A governance handbook
should be sent out to each admitted student. There should be an orientation to the
Social Contract and to student and campus
governance on the first Wednesday of Fall
Quarter. The first seminar of every program Fall Quarter should be on the book
Experiment at Evergreen, so that each student has a reference to the history and
philosophy of Evergreen. There should be
a 4-16 credit module every year relating the
history and philosophy of human interaction
to the history, philosophy and structure of
governance at Evergreen.
The primary information sharing and
decision-making body of our student
government would be a Student Forum. All
students may attend and participate as full

members of the Forum. It would include
student representatives to the Board of
Trustees, members of the President's Advisory Board, and Disappearing Task
Forces, as well as S & A Board and Student
Group representatives. In addition, it will
include Reporters, Student Study Group
(SSG) members, a student Government
coordinator, af) Information Specialist, and
a Communications Specialist (read on for
definitions).
.
The Forum will meet weekly and is
facilitated by the Government Coordinator,
who may not participate in the proceedings.
Its deliberations will be published in a
weekly bulletin and distributed to reporters
and posted. Reporters will share the information with their seminars. Students will
report. their concerns to Reporters and to
the Communications Specialist, who in turn
reports to the Forum. The Communications
Specialist will compile a list of names of
students interested in various issues. When
1% of students express interest in an issue,
the Forum may charge a Student Study
Group. If a group is charged, the Coordinator facilitates selection of members and
the Information Specialist compiles a report
from the archives. Reporters tell students
what the SSG is doing and students respond to Reporters, the Communications
Specialist, or to the SSG. The SSG releases
its report and the Forum takes a poll of
student opinion through the Reporters. The
Forum may then decide to adopt the SSG
report as student policy. If consensus is
reached on the policy, it is the obligation
of all student representatives to promote
that policy. If the policy is not adopted, we
shut down the school...Whew! O

best means of involving the greatest
number of students.
A student union would provide students
with a power base to ensure the recommendations made using the above system, were
acted on to best meet their needs. The
union would also provide a hub around
which students could organize, and thereby
facilitate communication.
In addition, all full-time students would
take two credits in governance each
quarter: students would still be able to.
register for a maximum of 16 credits per
quarter.
This would provide students with the
skills necessary to be involved in the decision making process, the ability to be involved in that process without compromising their other academic activities, and the
ability to judge the ~fficacy of that process
and to make changes as needed. At the end
of two years a DTF should be charged to
evaluate the need for changes.

Details
I propose a structure, built around one
committee, similar to the one the faculty
uses to stay involved in the administrative
process (the Faculty Agenda Committee).
That committee would have an open
meeting each week to discuss policy decisions being made on campus, how they interrelated, and what action would be taken
taken.
Committee members would be chosen by
election and would serve as an executive
board for the student union.

A Better Committee System
At present, opportunities for learning are
prescribed by a few administrators who
consult with the faculty, a few staff, and,
haphazardly, a few students.
To change this, a newsletter, similar to
that published for the faculty by its Agenda Committee, should be published by
students l¥1d distributed on a weekly basis.
The newsletter would describe what action
was being taken on each DTF and committee, and inform individual students of how
theY-could influence the work of those
committees.
In addition, at least one executive committee member would be on each major
DTF or campus committee considering

Quick student response: A vi,t al need
by William Lott

.-

,-

If the administration did something nice
for the students and the students took a
long time to respond with a thank you, the
administration might think the students did
not appreciate their actions. If the administration did something bad to the
students and the students took a long time
to respond, the administration might think
the students were easy to take advantage
of.
Within the colorful history of Evergreen,
the administration has been called upon to
cut the budget by ten percent within five
working days. They wanted to consult with
all students before making a decision, but
only had the resources to consult with a few
students before a decision was made.
We need a small group of seven student
representatives who can quickly respond to
the administration..We need to consult with
all students on the actions of the student
representatives and the administration in
order to either confim or refute their decisions. The CPJ could carry such timely
news directly to the mailbox of each and
every student. All 3000 students could then
telephone or write to the administration or
student representatives to communicate
their responses.
A student representative who is in touch
with the pulse of the student community is
going to build a reputation for being a true
representative, and as a result the administration will trust their opinion and
cooperate with them.
I define power as the ability to 'reverse
a decision shown to be in error. Such a
system as I have outlined could give the '
students a great deal of power through immediate response, followed up with largescale response confirming or denying the
immediate response.
An oligarchy is the rule ,of the governed
by the few. In our present situation, the few
are not elected representatives of the
governed. The S & A board is not an
elected body. The S & A board does make
an attempt to consult the student body
through surveys, yet does not have to act
on that infonnation and can be overstepped
by the Board of Trustees; the Board of
Trustees is not an elected body. If our
education is to teach us how to establish and
maintain an oligarchy, then the S & A
board is doing a great job.
Democracy is the rule of government by
the many, either directly by consultation or
o indirectly through elected representatives.
Equality- and respect for each person's

,

ideal> and needs in the group are the goals
of a democracy. If our education is to teach
. us how to establish and maintain a
democracy, then the S & A board needs to
be replaced so as to reflect that goal. I
would like to see the S & A board replaced
with a group of seven student representatives. The students would be responsible
for generating a list of student needs, proposals to meet those needs, a list of advantages, disadvantages and costs for each,proposal, and voting for proposals they feel
would be most effective. The student
representatives would be responsible for
hiring people to implement the proposals
to meet student needs. Thus, all 3000

students vote for where there student tax
money should be spent. This is distributed
decision making.
The direct cost of an oligarchy is very low,
it's indirect cost to our freedom is very
high. The direct cost of my democratic proposal is about fifteen percent of the present
S & A budget, its indirect benefit to enhancing our freedom is most dear to me. This
has been a short synopsis of my complete
twenty-four page proposal. My complete
proposal for student governance is available
at the Student Communications Center,
The Governance Bulletin Board. or from me
by mail (including $3 for copying and
postage.) O

Proposal III:

Decisions reached- through
conflict and mediation
by Perry Morse
In beginning to consider the development
of a system of Student Governance (SG), the
best place to start is with the Strategic
Plan. The Strategic Plan clearly establishes
that Campus-Wide Governance will be based upon the interaction of constituencies.
Those constituencies are: the faculty, staff,
administration, Board of Trustees, and the
student body. We are the only constituency which has not yet built a system for the
effective expression of our interests.
I t is a given that conflict and discord will
be in the nature of the Campus-Wide
Governance Stru~ture. At the CampusWide level, decisions will generally be
reached through conflict and mediation,
rather than through the myth of CampusWide Consensus. I am speaking of those
Proposal I from previous page

issues that could have a major impact on
students.
The above would enable studellts on
various committees to both represent the
student body and to communicate with that
body. The current system could then be used to make recommendations that would
best serve all students.

Academic Component
Interdisciplinary courses would include a
governance component. That component
could deal with anything from governance
at Evergreen, to political science theories,

significant decisions which detennine the
nature of the Evergreen experience for
students. I am referring to: faculty firing
and hiring, faculty evaluation, admissions
criteria, curricular planning, long-tenn
planning, student conduct, etc... I am
referering to policy decisions. Given this
situation, how will students' interests be
best served?
The Strategic Plan states that SG must
be (in my order of importance): Effective,
Accessible, Participatory. This implies that
SG must be accountable to the student constituency, and that it must present a unified
and responsible front when dealing with the
other constituencies ori campus.
SG must be capable of (and dedicated to)
seizing and utilizing as much power (and influence) as possible. I mean power with

to how governing bodies affect both what
types of technology are developed and how
they are used.
These classes should both increase
students' ability to participate in decisionmaking processes and increase their
political understanding of the topics upon
which their courses are focused. Faculty
could meet their contractual obligation to
participate in governance by .teaching these

Students could also get credit for their
work on DTFs and other Evergreen boards
and committees, off-campus governance
work, and community service. 0

Student Governance:

An Ongoing Problem
by Todd D. Anderson
Student governance at Evergreen has
been an ongoing crisis since the school's inception. Several lemons have been tried as
governance vehicles and true to fonn, they
all broke down soon after leaving the administration's lot. It may be a credit to the
student body at this school that they knew
when to dump a clunker while students on
other -campuses continue to spin their
wheels. However, the cohcept always ends
up where it started, on the drawing board.
The Governance Disappearing Task
Force (DTF) is trying to design a workable
structure that can do what past structures
couldn't: effectively represent the student
body. The same obstacles that have crippled student governance in the past still exist, but it is a trial and error process. Three
proposals by members of the DTF are incorporated into this reprot: they are. not
meant to compete with each other nor to
exclude possible alternatives. They are
meant to propose some suggestions on
governance.

o

P / E 0

Everyone has their own ideas on how a
governance system should be. Certain
possibilties can be easily eliminated, such
as putting students in a position equal to
the administration's. This suggestion falls
outside the legal parameters in which we
must work. Evergreen is put in the hands
of the Board of Trustees by the legislature.
The Board, in turn, can and does delegate
authority to the President of the college and
other school employees. The amount of
decision-making authority students are in
turn given is almost solely at the discretion
of the administration.
Students have no absolute power. They
do control allocation of S & A funds, but
even this is subject to Trustee disapproval.
In all other areas, student power is strictly persuasive. Students in the past have
successfully used powers of persuasion, but
only when there was some measurable
demonstration of unified student opinion,
an exceedingly rare occurrence.
The number of areas where student
authority could be greatly enhanced is nearly limitless. For reasons mentioned above,
unilateral decision making power on the
part of the student body, with the possible
exception of the S & A budget, is not.
realistically conceivable. The thought of a

group of students given sole authority to
hire the schol President is not worth considering. However, a consensus building
process is realistic.
Conceivably, a representative structure
could be designed where students could
block an action by another campus entity
or appeal a decision by another entity to a
higher authority with some reasonable
chance of altering or overturning the decision. Such a situation would ensure that st\.!dent desires are taken into account in the
decision-making process.
With a little imagination, a 10l~ list of
student-involved decisions could be drawn
up. For example, students could have real
participation in curriculum design, faculty
hiring and a host of other areas if there was
some assurance that their voice would carry
some weight. The uses of the CAB building
(which is carried on the books as a "student
asset") "could be determined by the
students.
.
In order to reach the goal of real student
involvement, a structure must be designed that 1) provides a representative voice
for the student body and 2) can gain the
sanction of other members of the
Evergreen community. Otherwise, we are
just getting another lemon. 0

Artwork for Humanity

«
by Amy Lynn Parker

If you haven't come across Bill
Schneider's amazing "Slice of Life" in the
window of New Life Mercantile downtown,
you're missing an inventive piece of artwork that is there for you to experience,
Bill, or Bilbo as he~i8known to many, has
lived in Olympia for a number of years doing numerous projects in the community;
he has exhibited his work in the CAB, at
the Smithfield-in addition to his wildly colorful paint job on their piano-and now, has
shown his latest construction at GESCCO
and New Life, at 6th and Capitol.
"It is as much carpentry as it is artwork,"
says Bill. He works in Olympia doing odd
carpentry jobs while keeping his mind occupied with new projects. In "Slice of Life."
he worked with his tools and his paints to
express his vision of downtown Olympia,
and life in general.
Little wooden cars cross the 4th Avenue
bridge into a downtown filled with wooden
people, buildiJ:lgs, trees, and buses. Each
piece of wood was recycled from past projects of his. Nevertheless, it was a very
costly and timely project; Bill worked full
time every day for three-and-a-halfmonths.
Bill believes .that his artwork puts
something back into the community that is
lost through violence and greed for money.
He feels that "creativity is a basic element
of people," and that we can be creative in
any field of employment.
When I asked him where the inspiration
for "Slice of Life" came from, he replied,
"just riding my bike." One can perceive this

Evergreen Expressions announces

Footstep, an evening of dance works,
presented by Evergreen faculty member
Meg Hunt and adjunct faculty member
Karen Kirsh. Performaces are scheduled
for Thursday through Saturday, January
29-31, at 8 p.m. in the Experimental
Theatre.
Six dances, each choreographed by Meg
and/or Karen, will be presented during the

Meg believes it isn't necessary to fully
understand Tarot or any of the other titles
to apreciate the images which the dances
represent. In fact, there will be program
notes on some of the dances available at the
performances.

Howdy! If you are aware of what
GESCCO is, you're probably wondering
what happened to us. Are we still around?
When will there be another event? Maybe
even "How can I get involved?"
For those who are unaware, GESCCO
was created in December of 1985 by a group
of people who recognized the need for an
off-campus facility designed to bring
Evergreen events to the 70% of studetns
who live off-campus, and to bridge the
geographical and psychological distance
between Olympia and the Evergreen campus. A very ambitious task, indeed, but one
that was realized last March with the leasing of a downtown building and launched
officially with a combination Swing/CajunJPunk dance attended by local youth,
Evergreen students, and senior-citizens.
The success of the grand opening was
followed by numerous well-attended events
including: an experimental film series,
Timothy Leary lecture, lots of rock shows
(Wipers, V-men, Girl Trouble, Screaming
Trees, etc.), a summer faculty lecture
series, DJ dances, art shows and projects,
a skateboard contest, and various special
interest group meetings. It quickly became
obvious that GESCCO filled an unforeseen
need: that of an accessible, inexpensive
space to host a variety of events . .
With an action packed calendar of activities, support from the local government,
and lots of eager volunteers, one would
think that the momentum could be maintained and operations would continue
smoothly. Wrong. Between the Olympia
dance ordinance, scheduling problems, and
internal management decay, GESCCO

maintain operations despite instability led
to a serious and virtually uncontrollable
degeneration of fundamental allegiance to
the original premise. The result? GESCCO
was providing a space for mostly rock
shows and DJ dances, hardly a true diversity of cultural events.

GESCCO has recognized this problem,
and as with any fledgling organization, has
undergone a series of internal conflicts that
challenged the' validity of the whole. Out of
three long months of~lative inactivity, the

WashPIRG lobbies for saf~ waste transport
by Ron Smithrud
WashPIRG is currently working with the
state legislature to pass legislation ensuring the safe transportation of nuclear waste
in this state.
60,000 shipments of radioactive materials
travel on Washington highways, railways,
and waterways each year. These shipments
jeopardize our health and environment
because they emit radiation during the
course of normal transportation, as well as
in the event of a major accident, such as
when a truck carrying radioactive materials
plunged into the Snake River. We were fortunate in this case, yet this accident could
have released radiation in catastrophic
proportions.
WashPI RG is campaigning for legislation
which would make the transportation of
nuclear waste in this state safer. This
legislation would help prevent transportation accidents as well as ensure that local

officials know how to respond in case of an
accident.
If Hanford is chosen as the nation's highlevel nuclear waste dump, an additional
5,000 shipments per year -- 17 trucks per
day -- would travel through downtown
Spokane and other cities along the
transportation route.
According to a report prepared for the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a shipping accident involving radioactive
materials could cost several billion dollars.
Under a federal law called the PriceAnderson Act, the total finan~.alliability
for the nuclear industry in the ent of an
accident isjust $665 million. W
IRG is
assisting efforts to repeal or amen this law
on the federal level.
The federal government assigns primary
responsibility for handling an accident involving radioactive materials to state and
local governments. According to research
conducted by WashPIRG, however, local

Asian/Pacific students: First People?
by Kathleen Kelly
Are Asian/Pacific students considered
"First Peoples" of the world? Regina Bonnivie and'Thang Nguyen, two members of
the AsianlPacific Coalition on campus, explained their position on this puzzling
question.
"It's an ambiguous term (First Peoples).
What does it mean, the first peoples of the
world? If it means the fU'St peoples of Asia,
then of course, we (as Asians) are," Thang
said. "The Third World Coalition changed
their name this year to the First Peoples
Coalition becasue they believe that they
were the fU'St people on the earth," he
added.
Regina believes that the term is more
precise in that "the first nations on the
earth were those of people of color ... the
Egyptians, Mayans, etc." She added that
the title Third World seemed negative, connoting underdevelopment in relation to the
more "civilized" Western cultures. According to Thang, he would prefer the name
of the office to be "People of Color."
There are 87 Asian students on campus
this year according to Thang. He and
Regina are paid members of the
.~ AsianlPacific Coalition, but do not have job
titles. "I don't really like titles because
~...
•
every Asian student should have an input,"

Thang said. "Our job is to coordinate
things, not to decide things. That's why the
meetings are important. Input must be
heard or else how do we know the needs
of Asian students?"
The Asian!American students are provided with support through activities and
shared experiences; there have been no major problems brought to the AsianlPacific
Coalition this year, according to Regina.
The First Peoples Coalition is funded
separately from the other student offices
but originally it was the sole student
organization. The state-funded coalition
grew, and then became separate student
groups -- MECHA, UMOJA, and the
Asian/Pacific Isle Coalition. Now, the
autonomy of each office is maintained.
AsianlPacific Heritage week is coming up
at the end of April: until then, the Asian
students will be el\ioying a much needed
rest after the Tribute to Japan,
However, if your appetite for Asian
culture has been whetted by the taste of
Japan last Sunday, the AsianlPacific Coalition is planning a trip to the Washington
Cen~r for the Performing Arts January 25

and appropriately to an accident. Seventy

WashPIRG did not feel prepared to deal
with a radioactive accident.
Currently the state does not even know
exactly how many radioactive shipments
are brought into our state or where they
aJ'e going, since only three percent .are inspected. WashPIRG's legislation would require shippers to provide more information
to state and local officials about the radioactive shipments travelling through our state.
Information would include the type of
material transported, the route, and the
schedule. The legislation also provides funding for state and local emergency response
training and equipment through a fee levied
on the radioactive shipments, and
establishes parking and travel restrictions
to to protect the public in case of a truck
breakdown or bad weather conditions.
WashPIRG encourages everybody to
write letters to their state Senators and
Representatives about this issue. You can
write to your legislator by name at the
Legislative Building, Olympia, WA 98504.

Spirit runs high at
King birthday bash
Thursday night, January 15, the spirit
was running high in the Evergreen Recital
Hall. The house was nearly full, and all
those present were there for one reason:
to celebrate the birthday of this century's
greatest spiritual, civil rights, and political
activist leader.
Mistress of ceremonies, Sandra Davis, introduced Olympia's own New Life Baptist
Church Choir. -The choir's rousingly
beautiful singing set the mood for the
evening.
Civil rights attorney John Thorne, who
met Martin Luther King, Jr. personally
several times, spoke, lending historical
perspective to the celebration. Thorne
stressed the important role King's commitment to Christian ministry played in the
formation of the civil rights movement, and
his political integrity. He stated clearly that
"the civil rights movement is not a thing
of the past in a world that is still dominated
politically by racism and opression." Thus,
Thorne challenged those in attendance to
take action and voice their opposition to
such il\iustice.
Next, jazz flutist Walter Zuber Armstrong painted a passionately sensitive
mural with his music.
The celebration drew to a close with a
recording of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King;
Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech.
Rev. Wendell Morris of the New Life Bahtist Church led the closing prayer, after
which the entire audience sang "Happy Birthday" to Dr. King.

Can you use
a telephone?
Volunteers are being invited to join The
ergreen Foundation's annual Phone-Aon which will take place on campus for
ourteen evenings in February. The kickoff date is Wednesday, February 4 and the
Phone-A-Thon will continue Sundays
through Thursdays until February 25.
If you like working with terrific people
and el\ioy talking on the phone, you'll want
to contact the Development Office and sign
up as a caller right away. You'll be among
a group of students, faculty, staff, alumni
and friends who'll gather in the board room
(Library 3112) each evening at 5:00 p.m. to
call Evergreen's graduates and parents all
over the country.

E

The purpose of the Phone-A-Thon is to
get information which helps keep the college's records up-to-date, to learn about
what our graduates are doing since leaving
Evergreen, and to raise money for many
important services such as scholarships
(over 400 have been awarded), special student projects, faculty development, and
books and art acquisitions for the library.

If you've ever used a telephone you can
be a Phone-A·Thon caller. You'll receive a
short training session at the beginning of
the evening, plenty of munchies and liquid
refreshments to keep you energized, prizes
every evening and a three-minute
telephone call to anyone in the continental
U.S.
--Ellie Dornan, Development

Proposal III from page 10

regard to policy issues. SG will either have
a form which will empower students as
community members or it will simply rubber stamp decisions made by the other constituencies. SG will become central to the
way this college is run, or it will fail in terms
of widespread participation, accountability
to its constituency, and responsibility.
It is clear from this pel'llpective that the
S & A Board must be accountable and inferior to SG. It is clear that SG operating
funds must be secured and must be ir"revocable or "sacrosanct." (The S & A
Board makes distributive recommendations
. to_the Board of Trustees regarding Student
Activities' funds.)
I percieve a potential problem in that if
SG takes on the tremendous workload of
the S & A Board there may be little time
left for policy decisions. Policy decisions
ought to be the primary concern of our ::ili.
I perceive a potential problem in that if
frame of this SG research and development
poses to our constituencies goals. We must
keep in mind the nature of power and of
governments. Whatever form of SG is implemented will become permanent. Governments do not relinquish control voluntarily. This is the danger that an inte~
government poses. We must take adequate
time to develop a system which will meet
those three stated criteria. We must keep
in mind that the context in which this SG
is to operate will be ever changing. Our SG
means that it must be structurally
engineered in terms of long term effec- '
tiveness. Our SG must be flexible enough
to self-correct, to evolve as this school and
this world evolve (devolve).
There are a few disjointed but important
points I should like to make in conclusion.
.. Read the Strategic Plan. ThQse
elements of Evergreen which students
value most are going to be rethought in the
next few years. Student interests ought to
be addressed in that process. Without a
system of student governance, they may
not be.
.. Student power comes from our
numben. Widespread participation in and
support of SG will be essential.
.. StudentB must be able to participate in
their governance without sacrificing their
studies.

.. A communication system must be
established which will permit student
consensus to be reached. This system
must also establish a long term memory, a
method by which information is passed on
Ifrom one class/generation to the next. This
is necessary for the sake of continuity and
informed decision making.
.. New studentB must be introdu(;ed to the
SG system at Evergreen. Mast students
stay at the college for two years. This
means that new students are constantly being introduced to the school; students who
don't know how the school really runs. Vital
information could be passed to them on
entering which would permit them to
become more actively involved in their
academic and political lives.
.. It is this writer's'hope that out of the SG
process will evolve a sense of community
within the student body. As the method of
interaction between the five constituencies
is defmed, this sense of community will
spread to include the entire campus. At that
point we viiIIlbegin to be able to talk about
an "Evergreen System of Governance" or
an "Evergreen Community" and really
_
mean something.
The development and exploration of a
system of student governance is not a simple thing. This is a process which requires
a tremendous amount of time and effort.
We must not be caught up in the administration's time constraints. At the same
time we must not pretend that there is no
reason for them. I urge that we take the
amount of time necessary to build a system
of student governance based upon consensus. It is tremendously important that our
SG not be ruled by special intersts to the
exclusions of our common goals. I urge my
reader to think about those ideas that nearly all Evergreen students have in common.
If we are to develop a truly effective,
organic system of governance, it must be
based upon these commonaJities, our shared
values.
I hoped to outline the etsential features
of a system of student governance. These
truisms are the first step in synthesizing
a yardstick by which to measure various
governance proposals.
I'll show you my yardstick, if you'll show
me yours.

Max Gilpin dominates backstroke

Tim Quam: Sports
writer for hire

By Jacob Weisman
At the age of seventeen, Tim Quam hit
the weekly presS conferences of University of Washington head coach Don James as
reporter for his own magazine, The
Washington Athlete. Now, seven months
after his graduation from Evergreen, he
works as an intern for the Seattle SuperSonics of the National Basketball
Association.
A long time basketball fanatic, it didn't
take him long to impress his co-workers.
"One of my first days there," he says,
"someone was doing a promotion for the
Sacramento Kings and was trying to find
out who they had drafted in the first round.
and I said, 'Harold Presslei :~- University
of Villanova.' Everyone started breaking
up. They couldn't believe anyone would
know that, or would care."
Tim began his internship by rewriting a
large portion of the old media guide. But
the job became harder than he had expected. After he finished, the Sonics traded Tim McCormick, Danny Vranes, and
Frank Brickowski. Then two weeks before
the guide was to be printed, the Sonics acquired Maurice Lucas, Clemon Johnson,
and Terence Stansbury, each requiring a
new biography. "You can tell," Tim says,
"where the last entries were put in. There
wasn't much time to correct them and they
still have a lot of typos."
"Evergreen," he says, "was a very
positive experience for me. The opportunities I was given to do individual contracts, to set up internships, were invaluable. I was able to spend a quarter
working in the KlRO-TV Sports Department and another for Evergreen's Sports
Department. At another school I may not

On the beach With Tim Quam

have been able to do all that."
The experience of working with the
Evergreen sl?orts department, he admits,
wasn't on par with the experience he might
have gotten at another school.
"Evergreen," he says, "is very limited in
the sports they offer. We had to work hard
just to get publicity. My internship was
done in the Spring. At that time, tennis and
crew were the only two sports that were
haopeniruz'. Now. I understand, there isn't
even a tennis program. So, if you're looking

at springtime at Evergreen, you're looking
at crew."
But Evergreen wasn't as much of a
wasteland as one would expect for a student
of sports communication. "The internship
with the Sonics," Tim says, "came about
as a result of a class I took in investigative
reporting with Tim Crews. He wanted us
to get a project together which we'd be interested in writing about.
"He wanted us to push and be more aggressive than we normally would have
been. I decided I wanted to do something
on the Sonics. Not only were they not on
TV in the greater Seattle area, but the
rights had been sold to a station run by the
team's owner in Bellingham. As a basketball fan, I didn't appreciate that.
"I wanted to do a story on that. But I
didn't know how I was going to talk to pe0ple. Tim just pushed me to get a pass to the
game, to get in teh locker room, and set up
an interview.
"While I was there I talked to Sam Tuttle, the assistant PR director. I told him I
was interested in what he did and he told
me a little about it over the phone. Afterwards, I talked to his intern, and she told
me to send in "a resume."
Ideally, Tim's internship with the Sonics
would culminate in a full-time, paying job
sometime next year. But, he is not optimistic about his chances. "I just can't see
the team having three PR employees," he
says. "There's been a lot of turnover with
Sonic employees in the past, but now the
team is winning, playing exciting basketball under the new ownership. I just don't
know if there will be anything here for me.
"But if nothing else," he says, "I've enjoyed my year. I've seen how it all
works."0

Crew is fun and popular and enjoyable
by Richard Argo
What sport at Evergreen has the most
student participation? According to CRC
Staff Manager and crew coa.ch Cath
Johnson, the sport is rowing. The 56
co member team meets at Percival Landing
twice a day, five days a week, and begins
, at 5:15 a.m.

For safety reasons, and because the six
40 ft. by 2 ft. four-oared shells only provide
30 seats, Johnson says that new members
are not being actively sought.
Crew is operating at theoelub level in a
"symbiotic relationship" with the Olympia
Rowing Club and is, in fact, the club's most
active contengent. Since many colleges

operate at this level, Johnson says that
there is no lack ot competition. She does not
see NAIA participation in the team's
future .
Rowing can be learned in an hour, according .to Johnson, but it takes months of
practice and concentration to become race
competitive.

by Bruce Fletcher
Max Gilpin collected five first-place finishes
as the men's swim team beat Pacific
University of Oregon. Gilpin is close to
making a national meet time standard and
is only five seconds away in the 400-yard
individual medley. Max won the 400 1M
with a 4:31.63.
Matt Love dominated the backstroke
events by swimming a 1:03.98 in the
100-yard backstroke and a 28.66 in the
50-yard event. Love also had a strong
50-yard freestyle to collect second place.
Mike Hernandez had a seasons-best time
in the 1oo·yard fly with a 1:01.88. Also with
season-bests were Tino Ruth (loo-yard

breaststroke), Aaron Soule (200-yard 1M)
and Jerome Rigot (loo-yard fly).
The women's team was led by Annie
Pizey, Rachel Wexler, and Kate Parker.
Each of them won an event, but the women
Goeducks lost two close meets to Highline
Community College and Pacific University of Oregon. Strong improvements came
from new-comers Alison fVIetheny and
Sarah Pearson in the 100-yard
breaststroke. Louise Brown continued to
swim strongly, while Ellen Brewster came
away with five second-place finishes.
The next swim meet will be against the
NAIA national champions, Central
Washington University, Friday night at
6:00 in Ellensburg. 0

"Fun Hogs" offered by Rec Center
by Phil Sandifer
The Recreation staff would like to see
everyone in the Evergreen community take
advantage of the facilities that the Recreation Center, or CRC, has to offer.
Recreation Sports Coordinator, Corey
Meador says, "The recreation activities are
open to all different skill levels, and activities range from African dancing to sailing. The focus of activities is to give the individual athletic involvement in a healthy
and fun atmosphere."
New programs offered this quarter will
be Beat Back the Blues and Fun Hogs. Beat

student governance for the past two years.
We've got to have a mechanism to identify and articulate student opinion, so that
we can go to the administration or the
Board of Trustees and say, "This is what
the student body wants." As Jenny Francis, another DTF student member put it,
"One student can only complain -- but a
bunch of students organized together can
begin to make a change."
Why ~hould you, or anyone else", care
about governance? Because this school is
a unique "place, and its uniqueness is
threatened. Most of us came here because
there was something different here, a dif·
ference that we valued. Those differences
are under a strong; traditionalizing
pressure, that sister-schools like U.C. Santa
Cruz have already fallen prey to. If we "
students don't speak up to protect what's
unique about this place, that uniqueness
will soon be gone. When this school started,
seminar size was ten. Now it's 24. Enrollment is increasing next year... the danger
is immediate and real.

Back the Blues will highlight unusual activities to help fight depression. Activities
will include an Ultimate Frisbee Mud
Festival, Hide and Go Seek, and an AllNight Wallyball Marathon. Fun Hogs will
be a program that travels off-campus for
recreational events, such as bowling, rollerskating, frisbee golf, and going to a Seat:
tle Sonics basketball game.
For more information on activities occurring throughout the quarter, stop by the
Rec Center and pick up a recreation sports
schedule, or contact Corey Meador at
x6537.0
So can we really do anything about it? We
can do whatever we set out minds to, if we
care enough. Because this school belongs to
us. Through tuition and taxes, we've paid
for this place. We have a right to decide in
what way that money is used, and what
form an Evergreen education takes. We've
employed the administration, the Board of
Trustees, and the state government. They
work for us, When they make decisions
without our involvement, we're giving up
our power to them. We need to take that
power back.
As a DTF member, I can only represent
students insofar as they tell me what they
want. I need to know'what you care about
on this campus, and what kind of struCture
you think would work best. I'm not asking
for a big chunk I)f your time, or a commitment to a big project. Just please attend the
All-Student Governance Forum, Tuesday
the 27th at noon in the Library lobby, so
we can all talk.
Sincerely,
Cindy Davis
