Murky
To the Editor :
Ben T ansey's fatuous, sophm o ric a tte mpt a t socia l anal ysi s (Editor' s Note,
O ctober 22) is the kind of murky thinkin g th a t crea tes a " kind of cy nicism runnin g throu gh it all " here a t Ev er green.
H e assert s (in the passi ve vo ice --but
f hese a re school teacherly criticisms) that
soc ia l ac tivism is somehow linked with
the ' 60 's and then inveigh s against. ..
wh a t ? Attitudes he somehow fee ls a re inex trica bl y tied to th e ' 60's?
I s he respondin g to th e faddish
re nai ssance of p a rticular cultural symbol s. lik e the ove rwhelming profusion of
I ndia prints and tie-dyes on ca mpus this
yea r ? Does fa shio n cheape n social consc ience? Maybe . Has he decided that
so c ia l a c tivi s m is a tim e bound
ph enome na ? Mu st it be " lik e the '60 ' s"
for us to be ac tivists ?
While some may equate rej ection of the
stat u)-quo with the '60's, mature students
(a nd fac ulty) will understand that the sixi ties were a high point of media coverage
o f disse nt , not the only time o f wides prea d disse nt itself. Sorry, Life isn't
cove rin g us a nymore . When h e tell s us
" it ' s not the '60' s a nymore , much as
m a n y of us may regret" h e see ms to be
say in g tha t ac ti v ist beh avior is an
a nachroni stic holdove r fro m an era th at
h ad exclusive fra nchise on it , a nd thus an
e mbarass ing style fl aw to Evergreen.
Kind o f like a crazed acid-head uncle,
who is best left in hi s room when the compa n y co mes.
F urther, we are left to infer that ac-

tivism and idealism are somehow in opposition to Evergreen's growth--would
that be as an institution , "community",
or as in evolve, develop? In any case, it ' s
muddled and it implies that those who are
wary of corporate-generated educational
solutions are backward looking
conservatives--a sort of neo-Luddite,
founded.
Finally, we are lectured to learn to
" cope with changing times ." Is that cope
as in "submit"? Be a "good German"
as our society accepts more and more
techonocratic corporate control? Cope
with the intolerable because it's no longer
fashionable to voice dissent? ,
Mr. Tansey 's only credible moment
comes when he admits "I know I'm not
making any sense."

Shallow
Dear Editor,
The opinion piece on the Master Plan
in last week's CPj (Opinion: Why Don't
Students Like the Master Plan?
10122/87) was long-winded but shallow .
You use the very language of the
Master Plan to assess its impacts on
minorities without examining the
language's latent racism . For instance,
what is a "qualified minority student"?
The disenfranchised are rarely qualified
to compete with the affiuent on their
terms. Shouldn't the obligation of
"higher" education be to educate the
"unqualified" ?
Relying on the conjecture of Provost
Patrick Hill, that "standardized testing
could be anonymous," the article concluded that graduation, under such a
system would not depend on the test and
"there would be no valid concern for the
exclusion of minorities to be drawn from
the Master Plan." On the other hand,
y-ou .char~cterized .~v~rgreen students
who protested the Master Plan as acting
"out their anger in a hostile and pointless
manner." Why be so generous with
speculation about how the Master Plan
could work but so critical of students who
took action to raise an issue of fairness?
Standardized tests, anonymous or
otherwise, will shape institutions, their
policies and the composition of their
students, but standardized tests are just
on{' facet of the Master Plan .
~ t ll' state that the Master Plan was an

open process but that the HEC Board did
not actively seek to educate Washington
State students. If it were such an open
process, we should have read 'about it
long ago in our own school newspaper
and heard about it from Evergreen administrators. But even newspaper accounts of the most recent HEC Board
meeting failed to elucidate the Master
Plan. Headlines read something like
"Student Protest UW Expansion." And
the CPj failed to print the students' statement that was read at the meeting, a text
that I would've found more interesting
than one person's opinion.·
It is incumbent upon the HEC Board
to educate those who it is supposed to
serve. We students are citizens. We pay
taxes in this state nearly every time we
open our wallets. We support the educational institutions with our earnings, our
educational debts and time out of lives.
Without students there would be no
schools. But who has the right to determine our right to an education or what
our education "should" be or what a life
should be? The CPj commentary failed

Oh, Hell! Ben, your cynicism stinks.
What do you know about the sixities,
or about the right moment to
demonstrate and speak out? A lot of decisions are made while people stand around
waiting for the right moment.
We, of the sixties, paved the way with
our marches and demonstrations. 'Being
an activist for Human Rights, Civil
Rights, Women's Rights, and Peace
wasn't easy then and it isn't easy now.
It wasn't alHun and games, it got damn
serious and sometimes out of control. But

we made a Difference. Then we fell into
the compliance age and that Difference
is now threatened again. Would you want
everyone to just accept what someone in
authority says as true?
Ben, growing isn't sitting back and doing nothing . Growing is seeing what's out
there and doing something to better it.
Growing is what Evergreen has always
been about and if it feels like the sixities,
then that's OK, because Evergreen is
now being recognized for the excellence
it has always developed in its students,
and as free thinkers, they have helped this
country grow.
I'm proud to see people seeking
knowledge and then using their right to
speak and right to assemble to
demonstrate their view point, no matter
what that is. And I felt the demonstration against the Master Plan could not
have been more timely. Sometimes only
a crowd gets noticed. I hope they were
not too late. If you had your way , they
would wait for a message from one lone
student about what H.E.C . was doing.

Dear Evergreen Community,
Having been horribly offended and
peeved by Ben Tansey's Opinion-Piece
in the last issue of the CPj, we sat down
and combined our befuddled minds,
questing for WHY an editor who is as
devoted to the ethics of journalistic traditions as Mr . Tansey is would write what
he did. And, brave Watsons, we have
figured out THE TRUTH.
He was desperately trying to get
enough submissions so that the C~J could
go to print th~ following week (today)!

'Fast Food' Fills Blank Space

Grants for Service Groups Available

by Timothy O'Brien
The old bank space and now
sometimes blank space in the CAB will
no longer be an empty space. The Deli
will be expanding from its existing location into the old bank area, next to the
Student Communication Center.
Work is slated to begin on the $50 ,000
expansion project in early November.
Denis Synder, Director of Food Services
and the Bookstore, says the construction
may force the Deli to close for one week
prior to the Thanksgiving break, but anticipates the project will be completed by
the time classes resume after the break .
The proposal to expand the Deli was
discussed and approved by the CAB
Space Committee, chaired by Dean of

Student Development Stone Thomas .
The final go-ahead was given by V ice
President for Development and Administration Services Sue Washburn.
Answering the criticism that the expansion project may be perceived by students
as an administrative decision made during the summer with little or no student
input, Washburn said, "I am balancing
that with the complaints 1 received last
year about not having fast and versatile
food available. " She noted that the CAB
Space Committee is a representative
group and that the Marriott Corporation
conducted a marketing survey on campus last year that identified a need for expanded food services.
The students did receive a little extra

office space due to the expan sion .
Originally Stone Thomas proposed th at
the Student Communication Center expanded into a small part of the bank
space, with the deli taking the rest. After
seeing a sketch done by Marriott ,
Washburn thought that the Deli needed
the entire space to adequately provide
needed services. A comprom ise was
worked out where Information Servi ces,
which had been sharing the SCC area,
would move out, giving the entire space
to the SCC and the Student Agenda
Committee.
Additional services to be offered by the
Deli will include a salad bar, a hot line,
pizza service a nd expanded bakery
offerings.

Health Center Tests, Checks and Counsels
by Celia Ward
Do you need a new method of birth
control? Have questions about AIDS,
sexually transmitted diseases (STDS), or
maintaining good sexual health? Maybe
it's been a while since your last pap
smear; you may think you are pregnant.
You're worried about a yeast or bacterial
infection or chlymadia . You certainly
~_n-'t alone. Women have a variety of
health needs separate from men's . For
this reason, a group of women , concerned about the lack of adequate health care
available to them through existing
organizations, petitioned the S&A for a
clinic to provide for the special concerns
of women . They received funding for
part-time health care worker, and the
Woman's Health Clinic was founded.
Since 1972 it has grown to meet men's
sexual health needs as well, with a full
time health care worker, a student coordinator , and several student advocates .
Today, Women's Health Clinic is a
part of the Counseling and Health Center
and provides a vaciety of services, such
as low cost, minimal hassle birth control
6 (20 varieties of condoms, diaphrams and

accompan ing spermicidal cremes and
jellies and birth control pills, and
counselling on choosing and using prophylactics. Sexually transmitted disease
testing and counselling are offered for
both women and men. Partners are encouraged to come in, too . Because STDs
often go too long undetected in women,
students are encouraged to have tests
done even if they exhibit no symptoms ,
"just in case. " A whole range of tests are
available, from pap smears to complete
annual check-ups, as well as pregnancy
tests and referrals regarding your options.
The Clinic also periodically runs
educational workshops, such as last year's
on STDS and sexual awareness. Planned for this year are extensional AIDS
education programs and activities during
AIDS awareness week. In conjunction
with FIST, they will hold rape and
assualt prevention workshops including
self-defense training. A monthly sexual
health newsletter will be out soon, with
plenty of information and geobucks (like
the clam) that you can use for buying
con doms.. . some students may

remember last years" free sample" in the
CPJ.
Visits to the Clinic are free for full-tim e
students. Part-timers can pay $7 per visit
or a small quarterly fee . Students have
to pay for lab costs and medication ,
although most lab costs are covered by
Evergreen student Hartford insurance
(the $59 option you get at registration).
The costs are kept low . A complete annual exam runs about $25 in lab fees and
students have .two weeks to pay, so don 't
let finances prevent you from getting the
health care you need .
Even with over 1,200 appointments
last year, only about one half o f
Evergreen women used the Women's
Health Center. It 's funded by the $20
health fee and student activities money ,
so take advantage of it! There is a lot to
learn about your body , and this is a good
place to start. The Women's Health
Center is located in SEM 2110, and is
open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday
through Thursday and from 5:30 to 9:00
pm on Wednesday even in gs.

Capital assistance grants again are
available to private, nonprofit organizations for the purchase of equipment to
improve tran sportation services for the
elderly and the handicapped, State
Transportation Secretary Duane Berentson said today.
Equipment eligible under this program
includes vehicles and such items as
hydraulic lifts, FM communications
radios, microcomputers and vehicle
modifications.
The federal funds will be awarded in
a series of grants to successful applicants
to cover 80 percent of the costs related to
acquiring equipment. Only private, nonprofit organizations incorporated within
Washington State are eligible. Applicants
must demonstrate their ability to finance
the project , including the purchase of the
designated equipment and its operation.
Applications, guidelines and further information can be obtained from Jerry

Carlson, WSDOT paratransit specialist,
Transportation Building, Olymia WA
98504 .
The application period will be open
from January 1, 1988 until March 7,

1988. Preliminary decisions on successful
applicants will be announced next May .

Carlson, 586-1229, or Jack E. Fischer,

Give A Book To A Good Drive
by Knoll Lawney

The Peace and Conflict Resolution
Center is sponsoring a book drive to
benefit prisoners in the institutions near
Olympia.
All members of the Evergreen community are urged to collect books of all
kinds and bring them to campus. This
first day of the drive will be election day,
November 3, and it will last at least until the end of the month. Pickup boxes
will be located in the second floor of the

CAB, the library lobby, the Corner, and
the Peace Center (Library 3224).
Some books may not be allowed in the
prisons, but censorship decisions are
made day by day depending on prison
staff. For this reason, please donate all
and any books you wish. Book that'don't
reach prisoners will be sold in the CAB
with proceeds going back into the drive .
Volunteer help is needed. If you can
help on this project or would like more
information, please contact the Peace &
Conflict Resolution Center, X6098, Lib
3224, or call Knoll at 866-0859.

Day of Absence Instills Unity

Ed Trujillo, ptrjorming arts manager, shares
his multicultural experiences.

, 'Don't confuse equal opportunity with
Affirmative Action. Equal Opportunity
means that the 'haves' are going to keep
'having' and the' have-nots' are going to
keep 'have-notting,'" said Margarita
Mendoza de Sugiyama, special assistant
for Affirmative Action. She was speaking
at Evergreen's Tacoma campus during
last Friday's "Day of Absence" event.
She addressed a room full of students,
staff and faculty of color from both campuses. "We cannot confuse rhetoric for
significant action." The issue concerning
Mendoza de Sugiyama was faculty
recruiting and retention of people of color. As April West- Baker, director of the
First Peoples' Coalition, said of
Evergreen, "We haven't done well."
"Significant actio n" in this area, includes nine faculty positions that have

been designed with a requirement for experience useful in developing a multicultural college, and 75 thousand dollars
designated by the legislature for the
recruiting and retaining of people of color as well as two professionals hired to
recruit people of color, according to Mendoza de Sugiyama.
The issue of the need for a peer on the
deanery arose: "We need a Dean of color in a position to evalute faculty. The
Dean of Development does not evaluate
faculty," she said. Menodoza de
Sugiyama's presentation inspired many
to speak up and share their experiences

to gain support for his retention.
Many of the day's participants were
concerned with the recent hiring of faculty member Yvonne Peterson. "I was on
the hiring DTF and I was on a faculty
exchange when Yvonne was interviewed," said Gail Trembly, another faculty
member. "It is painful to me that
Yvonne is on a one-year contract. There
is something about the school that is insensitive on a level. I have been approached to suggest faculty of color, but
I have seen what has happened to those

Columbus Discovered America?
by Darrel W. Riley

A friend ofmine,jena Rosen, recently wrote a paper which said that cultural
idenity is "interrn:ined" with the primary
methods of communication that are used in a culture. The implication of her
thesis are frighteningly profound and
might go far in explaining the exclusion
of minorities from many parts of modern
society.
For example, we just had a holiday
celebrating Christopher Columbus's
, 'discovery" of America . Yet his actions
could hardly be called discovery since Indians (he thought had had found India,
thus the term "Indians") had been on the
American continent for thousands of years
previously . We celebrate Christopher
Columbus's discovery because he was the
first relatively modern European voyager
to America to have his findings
documented extensively. But why
weren't the Indians he found given credit
for having "discovered" America?
Indians, Blacks, Asians, and most
minorities in America are excluded from
American history and society because
often their culture places more emphasis
on the ability to speak well than on

Day of Absence

writing well. Blacks, in particular, were
not encouraged to write since slave
owners felt that writing would give slaves
control over their own destiny. Blacks
learned to communicate through song
(the historical precedent for today's large
population of Black entertainers and
musicians), stories and tales (Black commedians), and physical movement
(dancers, sport stars, etc). Many of
America's greatest speakers have been
Black, from Frederick Douglas and Sojourner Truth, to jesse jackson and
Maya Angelou. Yet no activity other
than writing is fully accepted as evidence
of intelligence or culture. The only truly acceptable symbol system for transmission of intelligence or culture is w.riting,
as even a cursory study of modem history
and historical analysis will attest to.
I am now studying at a highly rated
college in the nation wonderinf;l; why the
minorities are scarce, and why the ones
here seem so familiar to me. The answer
is simple; most minorities who apply
themselves to learning in an institute of
higher education have learned to use
writing as a tool for communication, and
have isolated themselves from the ability
to excel at cultural speech patterns in the
same way that I have. My short survey
of the minorities at Evergreen shows that

recruit outside of campus until the concern for people of color on campus is increased and a hospitable environment is
maintained," she said.
Maxine Mimms,
director of
Evergreen at Tacoma, finally spoke out
to break the tension building from the opp.ression felt and expressed by those sharing multic.ultural backgrounds in the
room. "We are not minorities," she said.
"We are the majority!" Mimms sang of
our power in the world--that the world
needed us. She uplifted and healed when
it was needed the most. During lunch,
Mimms turned up the music and a circle
formed for dancing and rejoicing.
The afternoon agenda began with San-

dra Davis, a student involved in opposing the Master Plan of Education. She
said the "lip service in the Master Plan
that cultural diversity has been paid has
not been given suggestions for implementing them."
The day Was full of thoughts that made
one outraged: " . .. racism used to be,outwardly manifested, but now it is inwardly
manifestj:d. But if you sit back and take
a look at the situation, the same barriers
are still there," said Anthony Greenidge.
Yet the para\ysis created by such onerous
factors was healed by ambitioni to change
and the belief that we can build a world
that looked after all our needs .

a surprisingly large number of the
minorities here are of mixed parentage,
as am I. We are people who have learned to write because one side of our
heritage stressed the importance of written communication. Michael jackson's
video Bad shows the dichotomy perfectly
as his character tries to transfer gracefully
between a school environment which emphasizes writing and a home environment
which emphasizes verbal and physical
acuity .
I don't think many people understand
the drive to excel that must be present for
a minority student to succeed in a society which works so hard at excluding
anything which is not "the standard . "
(By the way, minority in this context is
anyone who does not fit the concept of
a standard American . ' My greatgrandparents experienced terrible
discriminatoin because of their Swedish
accents.) Many people have come to me
over the years and said, "You don't talk
Black." I don't talk "Black" because I
don't see the need to for normal societal
relationships. Some of my cousins do talk
"Black. " Their verbal skills are extremely advanced compared to mine and they
are much more socially adept then I am,
but they don't write as well as I do.
Because they will not follow the standard
societal speech patterns and have not
recognized the impact of writing on
modern society, they are working menial
jobs without hope for advancement at
barely above minimum wage while I am
at one of the "best" colleges in the
nation.
If college enterance exams were based
on speaking ability, minority students
would probably be an overwhelming majority. But most school exams and education stress writing skills, and until either
the standaI:ds chahge or minority cultures
stress the importance of writing as much
as they have stressed the ablility to speak,
Christopher Columbus will discover
America in the history books for each
future generation, and each generation
will wonder at the absurdity of it all over
again.

Editor and the Plan:
Knapp Questions Motives
by Jonathan P. K napp
My conscience compels me to speak
out about the edi to rial b ias tha t the CPJ
ex hib ited in its October 22 issue with
res pect to the M aster Pla n for Highe r
Education in the State of W ashington and
the ac ti vism that has sprung up here at
E~er gree n in response to the Pla n .
Several points in the opinio n piece by Ben
Tansey need to be addressed , fo r they"
belie the ad vocacy j ourna lism in which
the editor of the C PJ seem s una bas hedly
to be indulging.
In the piece entitled: "O pin ion: W h y
Don ' t Stu de nt s Like the Master Pla n?"
Mr. Tansey blithely summa rizes the stu dent's objections to the Plan, narrowly
examines the relevance of those objections, a nd then omn ipotently delive rs
h im self of judgements as to their truth o r
falsehood. As ide fro m the edi tor ' s lack of
a u thori ty for mak ing such statements on
behal f of the students , the piece suffers
from tht: serious defect of conta inin g
several inaccurac ies, distortions, a nd
o m issions tha t demean the significance of
the actions ta ken b y the gro up of di ve rse
individuals who make u p People for
O pen Education . I do not pretend ,
myself, to speak fo r all students, or even
to be a spokesperson for th e PO E; but I
h ave som e recogn ition of the issues in volved and have a deep concern about the
t roublesom e M aste r Pla n . T ha t recogni tion a nd that concern have bee n fostered
b y m y association with the POE .
S ta ndardized testing of r ising ju niors
would not , per se, brin g abo ut the red uction of the enrollment of people of color,
nor will it , per se, result in a shift in
teac hing a nd curr iculum away fro m the
development of cogni tive skill s toward
pre para tion for the test. If colleges and
u n iversities were to give a test and to do
nothing with its results there would be no
impact on anyone, other than the unfortu na te test-takers who would have wasted
10 the ir tim e. Th e proble m with assess-

me nt , as it is conce ived in the M aster
P lan, is tha t sta nd a rdi zed testing will be
used as a mea ns to assess the performance
of all institu tions of higher education and,
on the bas is of th a t assess me nt , to awa rd
increased levels of fund in g to those inst itution s which score highe r and redu ced level s to those whi ch sco re lower .
Und er this scheme the econom ic well bei ng o f th e institut ion s wo u ld be d irec tly li nked to t he perfo r ma nce of their studen t bodies on these tests. W ha t countCl"va il ing fo rces wou ld keep colleges a nd
univers ities from recru itin g or adm itt in g
on ly th e kind o f students w ho would bet te r the ins ti tu tion 's performance on th e
asses sment test ? Th e fac t is, there a re no
concrete pro posa ls to implement th e
para gra phs of li p- se rv ice th a t the H EC
Board pa ys in th e M as te r Pla n to th e
idea l of eq ua l access to h igher educa ti on
for all peop les . In his a rt icle Mr. T a nsey
painstak ingly points to these passages
from the M as ter Plan as proof of the good
in te nti on s of the Board ; he con ve nie ntl y
neglec ts to recogn ize the susp iciousness
of th is lack " f constraint s on a n economic
incent ive tha t wou ld t ra mple under fo ot
the humane id.eal of equ a l opportuni,r y.
Th e economic in ce nt ive is too strong
here; it would make a m ockery of the
Master Pla n' s weak sta tem ent a bout th e
need to insure access to h igher educa tion
for people of a ll soc ial . a nd rac ia l

ci tes as a conce rn to stude nt s .

this dehumanizing aspect of corporate
politics into one of the few remaining
realms that has, in recent times, struggled to maintain some semblance of
freedom from it. "To equate the quality
of life with economics," while it ,may well
be for Mr. Tansey " the point of greatest
departure," from the Master Plan, is
nevertheless the prerogative of any given
indiv idual. That, however , has very little to do with the corporate hegemony
that threatens to stultify the liberating effects of participation in a community
whe re intellectual inquiry provides the
basis for human interaction. We do not
live in a n overly humane world , but our
response to tha t must not be to call for
further dehumanization .
To conclude with Mr . Tansey's appra isal of student objections to the Master
Pla n it must be noted with clarity and
firmn ess that he must believe that the actions taken by the HEC Board to inform
the public about its deliberations were entirely adequate and just. In spite of the
fact that, as he put it, "The HEC Board
certa inly did not go out of its way to make
sure tha t every student in the State .of
W ashington was informed about the Plan
a nd (was) offered a n opportunity to comme nt , "
a nd regardles s of hi s
ac knowledge me nt that " it is true that
m a ny o f the most important meetings
we re held during the summer ," wheri
stude nts could no t a ttend them or even
know about them , he condescendingly
o pin es th a t "stude nts have only
the m selves to blame if they failed to be
a le rt to what was going on . " This glib

platitude is tantamount to suggesting that
only those who are intimately familiar
with the arcane day-to-day functionings
of state government have the right to be
involved in decision-making that affects
everyone . The actions of the HEC Board
show that it did not want student or faculty input; it surreptitiously perfromed its
minimum duties in order to be able to
protect against any accusations of unfairness . Well, its actions are unfair, and
by his writings Mr . Tansey shows his
approbation .
People for Open Education do not approve of the HEC Board's actions. Their
presence at the HEC Board meeting in
Seattle on October 16 gives testimony to
that fact . For Mr. Tansey to impute the
student's motives and their commitment
to democratic principles smacks of
McCarthyism and reveals his ignorance
of the history of democracy . All
democratic movements have, of necessity and by definition , been actions undertaken by the people. That is what radical
democracy means: rule by the people.
POE went to Seattle to oppose the oligarchic designs of representatives of an
American ruling class. Mr. Tansey said
that they "chose the wrong moment . "
There are always reasons to wait, to take
no action; but when people do not act
they quietly acquiesce . People are constrained by the circumstances of the
world they live in; they must act within
the context of their time. Mr. Tansey
suggests, as did President Olander at the
HEC Board meeting, that confrontational politics are not constructive or

democratic. They are wrong; history
many times over has shown them to be
wrong., The- exigencies of the sitliation
demanded a direct and unequivocal
response in order to send a strong
message to the HEC Board . POE, in the
interests of all people, rose to that occasion. The fact is that there is nothing
purer than their motives and nothing
truer than the opening statement of their
address to the HEC Board : "We have
come here today because we believe in
democracy . .. "
Upon my flrst reading of Mr. Tansey's
piece on student opposition to the Master
Plan it was not immediantIy clear to me
what his intentions were in writing it. At
first I thought he meant only to muddy
what formerly had been a clear issue . In
that he may, at least temporarily, have
succeeded, although I think the selfevidence of the issue when perceived by
people will prevent any misunderstanding. Later I reconsidered and wondered
if he were only trying to give an unbiased opinion of an issue of concern to
students. If so, he accomplished little
more than proclaiming his lamentably
weak position atop the fence of supposed
journalistic objectivity . If this is the case ,
his efforts are all the more ridiculous for
the fact that he professed to be writing an
opinion-piece. Yet upon closer inspection
I can see, by the vehemence of his closing comments, that his true intention was
not to offer a sensitive analysis of a difflcult" issue and to thereby take a substantive stand on it; but to discredit the actions that have been taken by POE on
behalf of all people in the name of equality and freedom.

Not so Sweet Roots of Halloween
by Andrea Miller
The witching hour is soon upon us, as
the autumn leaves signal the dying of
another year, of the end of harvest, of the
waning of the sun's strength. Halloween ,
as we have come to call this modern holiday that rests upon October 31, will soon
be depositing children dressed in makebelieve finery upon our doorsteps, begging for candy and sweets to fill their
"trick or treat " bags, and later their
stomachs . Yet since my own childhood I.
have wondered about the origins of this
mystical tradition, enshrouded in the
darkness of a crisp, moonlit autumn
night, and pondered the myth and magic
of a festival dating back to the preagriculutral societies of Northern Europe.
Return to pre-Christian history, before
a man named Jesus walked the Earth and
his disciplines spread the dogma of his
message long after his death. It is late in
the year, the harvest having provided well
for the coming winter, but the sun does
not olTer its usual warmth and light for
the ancient Celtic peoples of Northern
Europe. Thus they prepare for the fall
festival of Samhain, lighting great bonfires to stimulate the sun to return, and
celebrating the bountiful harvest . Within
this tradition also reigns the belief among
the pre-Christian cultures that Samhain
represents the abdication of power by the
Great Mother, the goddess of spring and
summer, to the Horned God, who in
turns hold court during the bleak months
of autumn and winter.
As Christianity spread to the people of
Northern Europe, priests saw it advantageous to assimilate pagan and Christian
holidays to strengthen their hold upon
such peoples as the Celts in Britain,
Ireland and Northern France. All Saints'
Day was introduced on the following day,
November 1st, thus incorporating the
Celts' belief in symbolically raising the
souls of the dead with a day for glorifying their own saints . Not long after the
influence of pagan religion was neatly
wiped out (or rather bloodily, depending
on whose accounts you wish to believe),
Samhain became officially known as All
12 Hallows Eve ("night of sanctification " )

against reflection the Christian infiltration into the pre-agricultural Celtic
culture .
Which brings us to the Middle Ages,
where it is speculated, if not fully
acknowledged, among historians and experts that in pre-Christian cultures such
as the Celts that a great deal of pagan
religion remained hidden and undisturbed by the Catholic Church, who while
having established itself as a patriarchal,
mysoginistic hierarchy not long before ,
found itself in the center of the disintegrat ion of medieval society .
It was also during this period that
women within the Celtic society were
known to be herbalists, midwives, and
healers, tending to women in childbirth,
women who sough to terminate pregnancies, women plagued with infertility (men
as well !), or any other health problems.
The male dominated Catholic Church
eventually sought not only to eradicate
the last female dominated profession outside motherhood and prostitution, but

also to shift the blame for the break down
of socio-economic conditions from itself
to some outside influence. Thus the herbalists and midwives, now labeled as witches, became the subjects of persecution,
deemed evil women who consorted with
the "devil" (who was actually the Horned God commonly worshiped in the
Celtic culture), brewed ointments to
make themselves fly, caused disease,
ruined crops, murdered babies and
threatened the Catholic Church's divine
powers.
Within 300 years, approx imately one
half million to nine million people were
eventually executed for the crime of witchcraft (or rather herbal healing and midwivery), most of them of peasant stock,
and most of them female. As the
Renaissance brought a more enlightened perspective toward ancient religion, so
the witch re-entered European (and
American) consciousness as figu res of
myth,
characters in children ' s
storybooks. At the beginning of the twen tieth century , as Halloween emerged as a less threatening holiday celebration lor
children, witches took their place there .

and werewolves,as

Epsie

In

We now continue the on-going story of EsthnBarnhart and her life in Epsie. This excn-pt is
reprintedfrom her book, We Went 'Westward

... Ho, ho, ho.
At that time the Epsie store and post office were a couple of miles southwest of
where we lived. It was started in 1916
before land was opened for mingo The
name Epsie, seemed unusual and after
some questioning we heard the story of
how this came about. The first names of
the ladies that lived in the community at
that time, were sent to the Post Office
Department and from the list they picked
Epsie . One rancher said, "I think they
shook them up in a hat and picked one
OUI." "Rosa" was the name of the first
to have the post office and later her
daughter, Carrie, had it. At one time every
half section, 320 aces, had a homestead
shack on it. The post office served seventy
patrons .
Quite a few belonged to bachelors and
as there were not many single ladies, the
"School Mom," was much sought after.
Sometimes several of them would be
waiting outside for the close of school.
They didn't talk to each other but kept
their eyes!ln the door, meaning to be the
first to ge t in . We heard one fellow say,
"I got there and walked right into the
s<:hoolhouse and asked to take her home
and I did. The other fellows sure were put
out about it." He thought it was quite a
joke. The schoolhouse was quite a way
from the county road and the fellows drove
the fa.rm wagon at the time. The one that
passed her boarding place to get to his
home had ·the edge for a while. Then one
bought a car and he took her home unless
there was snow or mud. The rest called
him her fair weather friend.

Montana graded high in literacy because
so many ranchers married teachers. I know
of a couple that got away. They enjoyed
all the attention and then went back to the
city and married a fellow there. They
didn't want the isolation full time. All the
work a man put into his homestead meant
little to them, they wanted to live in a
modern home. Keeping the fire go in g at
the schoolhouse was work enough for
them.
One bachelor's parents passed away and
left him what the neighbors called, "The
biggest house in the county ." He came
near getting married once but showed up
drunk and she called it off.
One day Barney told me that he had
traded off the Ford for some cows, turkeys
and chickens . It was good to have them,
we had lots of custard for dessert but how
I did miss the faithful Coupe, no longer
parked near the door. We used to sit on
the running board quite 'often when it was
there. He also traded the trailer and a gold
watch he had.
A fellow who was called "Old Tom"
had a lot of horses, he used to r<iise them
to 'sell to the government but sales were
tapering off. He would give anyone that
needed a team a couple of horses if they
promised to treat them right during the
breaking process and care for them decently, he didn't want them to suffer at any
time . He made it very plain th~t if they
were ever mistreated he would take them
back. He would watch at times when
others were busy and didn't know it. He
never called any young fellow by his name,
he called them Pistol. He would say,

, 'Pistol, you fore foot a horse of mine and
you are through ." When these horses that
had been running wild were put into a corral , they were hard to catch . He didn ' t
want a loop thrown to catch the front feet
and send them sprawling . He told of the
time he took ten stock cars full of horses
to Chicago and while the train waited to
unload, he walked the streets looking at the
town . A cop was about to run him in for
vagrancy as his clothes were rather shabby. Old Tom took out his plump wallet and
gave the cop five dollars saying, "Pistol,
take this and buy your woman an extra
sack of flour." The same thing happened
one time when he was in Belle Fourche,
So. Dak. A fellow went in the bank and
said , "There is a suspicious looking
character :lUtside. " The banker looked and
laughed as he said, "Why that is one of
the richest men in the country." We had
some of his horses for many years,
It was a long winter and how I did miss
a radio. There was very little reading matter. When my sister, Clara, wrote from
Kansas City and asked what we would like
to have her send us, we replied that we
wanted the cartoon, Little Orphan Annie.
Having read it for long time, we missed
it. She sent it faithfully for many years and
how we did enjoy it.
The highlight of the year for many was
the school election in the spring. The
bachelors ran for trustee and each tried to
get as many to vote for him as he could.
One came around to talk to us and I said,
"Why bachelors on the school board, why
not the fathers?" I was about as popular
as a skunk in a hen house . '

An Existential Altering
by Ronald Szint Laurent

One day Bobbie was walking to th e
zoo. On the way, he met a large black
man who had a squirrel where his nose
should have been. The man said nothin g,
but the squirrel shouted a variety of
obscenities at Bobbie , causing him to
blush and doubt his masculinity. Questioning the roots of his existence , Bobbie
wandered away in a daze, fogetting hi s
trip to the zoo altogether.
When he recovered from his ex iste ntial altering, he decided that he wanted to
know more about the non-being ,with
which he had recently become acquainted. So, after looking through th e
course catalogue of the nearest university, he chose a course that seemed perfectly suited to him : "'Existentialism ,' or
'Non-Being and You .'"
The course was wonderful , a nd would
have been . completely enlightening to
Bobbie if only he could understand what
was being said and if the gentleman sitting beside him would stop blowing in hi s
ear. Bobbie felt somewhat slighted by the
fact that the professor refused to discu ss
Heidegger in English translation , but in sisted that the only proper language in
which to discuss philosophy was Pig
Latin . Seeing that philosophy would only help him to cloak his neuroses in more
technical and complex ways, Bobbi e
decided to give up academics and wander
the country, seeking the truth of the common man.
Bobbie had planned to buy a van, but ,
seeing that he had only SI.47 and three
bus tokens, decided to hitchhike instead.
He painted a sign that read: " Seeking
Transcedant Source of Value." H e
waited for six hours but did not get a ride.
Deciding that he would probably be more
successful if he stood by the side of the
road, Bobbie left the K-Mart men's room
and was immediately picked up.
The car was an immaculate.' 53 Chevy,
and the driver a dark haired man in his
forties who smoked a pipe. He did not
seem to breathe unless through the pipe ,
as though drawing strength from the
pipe's contents, rather than the air that
i 4 incidentally accompanied it. He talked

with a n eve n voice that reminded Bobbie of the old Bing Crosby/Minute
Maid Orange Juice Commercials.
" W ell Bobbie, have yo u finall y given
up on Western systems of thought, " he
as ked , holding the pipe in hi s ha nds
without compl etely re moving it from hi s
mouth.
" H-h-how do yo u know what m y
nam e is?"
II'
"Oh Bobbie, come ofT it. You must
have known that as soon as you rejected
th e standa rds of the society in which you
lived that the world would instantly
beco me more interesting , if a bit more
frighte ning. And if you tune out this fear ,
you' ll be left with only boredom and a
vag ue sense o f loss. So tell me, do you
think that the a uthentic self of a n in dividual is a thing to be discovered , as the
American psychologists seem to think, or
to be crea ted b y action, as the European
Ex iste nti ali sts co nte nd ?"
"W ho are yo u a nyway ' Are you a
god? And if not , why does the smoke
from yo ur pipe form a nimbus ? The
Europeans of course , th e America ns arc
pussies.
"M y boy," hc sa id in a smooth and
paternal way, "we' ll get along just fin e.
I think there's a M cDonald's ahead , want

to stop for some delicious burgers and
fri es?" H e did not seem to notice that
Bobbie made no a nswer , but acce lerated
slightly, as though to accentuate his desire
for th e food th at lay ahead .
They soo n ca m e to McDonald's, and
the m an muttered some thing a bout "archetypal reality" as he stared in unabashed revere nce a t the golden arches. Once
insid e the resta uran t, the m a n excused
himself, say ing tha t he had to ex tricate
his shorts from hi s scro tum . Bobbie sat
in the booth beneath the life-sized portrait of the Grimacc, and began to evalute
his situation.
Bobbie realized that a lth ough the man
was without doubt a diety, he could no
lo nger stay with him . Because of the
overfl owing nume nos ity of the man, Bobbie was in da nger of be in g drowned by
his lovc a nd not given a cha nce to in dividu a te. So, before the m an returned ,
Bobbi e !cft the restaurant a nd headed
down th e road. a lo ne . Fedin g th e immense we ight of hi s freedo m upon him ,
Bobbie la ughed a nd cried at the Sd me
tim e, a nd not looking where he was going , fell throu!-{h a n uncovered m a nhole,
breakin g hi s lI l'ck a lld thus transcending
hi s hurn a n /(ll"IlI .

Goodbye

My son presses his face intc. my cotton skirt
cheek against my thigh
He is hiding from the sight
of his grandpa Max dying
with tubes spilling from his body
flesh collapsing and sinking into hollows
his breath a whistle through bones

W e have never watched death before

I did not expect to see Max's neck bent so
or the brown stain spreading over his eyes
like those birds found broken against windows
I take my son's hand
"Let's go for a walk"
He smiles in relief but remembers to say
"Goodbye, Grandpa"

I keep my voice low but it sounds like a shout
in the hard white tunnel of hospital corridors
We talk about the grandpa
my son knows
and the wooden trainset he made
the playhouse he had planned to build
And when I think we remember well enough to forget
the brown stain in Grandpa'S eyes
I let him sit with a school book in the lobby
and go alone
to say goodbye

Employs

by Ellen Tepper
"We're giving birth to a new company, " explained ex-faculty member
Chris Gilbert, who resigned this summer
after two-years of teaching at The
Evergreen State College. Leaving
Evergreen was a difficult decision, but
when Tom Nault (one of Gilbert's close
friends and a 1980 Evergreen graduate)
invited Gilbert to join the management
team of his new business, the opportunity proved to good to pass up.
Gilbert, who taught in the MPI program at Evergreen, now holds the position of Vice-President of Marketing for
Cravings Incorporated . This two month
old business, located in Bellingham,
caters to the supporters of the home
delivery industry, and features 24

Evergreen

hour 7 days-a-week service. The menu
tempts the tummy with dishes including
lasagna, a chicken plate, a veggie plate ,
chili, quiche , and deserts such as New
York style cheesecake, sundaes and
chocolate-chip cookies.
In his position, Gilbert currently finds
himself busy conducting follow-up
surverys to measure customer satisfaction , and analyzing sales statistics. He
described his work as "fun andchallenging . " He also spoke of the "relaxed attitude" which the workers maintain:
"The Evergreen pattern of learning is
very much alive in this company." Included in the plan are management team
retreats every six weeks or so . During
these retreats the group would discuss
business matters and put together promo-

Pattern

tional videos.
Cravings Incorporated plans to expand
nation-wide within the next few years, a
move which Gilbert claims will not only
help the company, but will also bring
good publicity to Evergreen. By working
as a resource member of The Evergreen
State College faculty , Gilbert hopes to
keep strong connections with the college.
He also mentioned the possibilty of utilizing interns from Evergreen in the
management and marketing departments
of the business.

Mime Mixes Theatre 'with Politics
by Sheila Pullen
The San Francisco Mime Troupe sent
a wave of excitement into the audience
which crossed the boundaries of stage,
race, politics, religion, and nations, and
went to the core of all human rights . The
recent performance, "The Mozamgola
Caper,' An African Spy-Thriller," had
the outspokenness often seen in political
satire, with a great deal of audience
participation.
To mime means to imitate or mimic,
and the S.F. Mime Troupe successfully
gives a portrayal of certain political issues
in an entertaining, comical, yet very
serious manner. Political satire is usually funny and this play had its share of well
timed slap-stick gags with music to give

it a kick at the appropriate moment. The
Troupe on stage and backstage gave an
excellent example of theatre on the road,
with a creative set, costumes, sound effects, lights! actors and an excellent band
that worked together like a well-tuned
instrument.
The play was set around a love
triangle : a spy, a freedom fighter, and the
President of Mozamgola . A White House
Advisor was also lurking about. Add also
a Witch Doctor with a few "third eye"
spells, an interesting snake and crocodile,
and a counter spy, all set to kill each
other.
The boldness of the script drove home
its point against intervention in Third
World countries with covert actions .

Jessee Moore of San Francisco Mime Troupe.

Wander, Tyna Turner and Cindy
Looper opened the play with an Aid to
Africa imitation, and ended with our
White
House Advisor singing
"DebargQ&ap," which createQ a deep
contrast between what is needed, what we
think is needed, and gaining·it at all costs.
Centered among songs and slap-stick
gags were a wonderful display of well
written and timed lines that individually
told their own story. For instance, when
Regretta is asked to be a spy again and
says "no," our White House Advisor
says "What would you do if Africa turned red?" She replies "I don't do Mrica."
Then, when the ultimate pressure is put
on her, reminding her of her lost love, she
says "He made me believe in a rosy
dream, now I know it was a red
nightmare ." And again, when the Advisor wants the aid of the freedom fighter
to kill the President of Mozamgola
threatens him with "When Africa wants
to sneeze they better ask me first."
An African Bongo Hustler wisely
estimatf's that what Africans' need is
high self-esteem and states, "You want
to save the Third World . Then forget the
food aid, forget the economical aid, what
we need is success seminars."
The whole performance was so well
done that it felt like political rally. A very
good point was brought out, that the
world powers would be In a tight tinancial bind if all the Third World Countries
banded together and proclaimed that
"The debt was paid in full."
"Alone we are nothing, together we
are a mighty power." This desire to be
independent and free to choose our
government should sound familiar . We
cried the same tune of "People Power"
when our nation was created. Are we involved in helping to create freedom or are
we protecting our economical investment? Many of our corporations and major banks are overextended and play a
game of interest on Third World loans
that are never paid in full.
Because of our Freedom of Speech, the
San Francisco Mime Troupe can speak
out. There is a lot of good about the U .S.
and there is a lot we need to take a closer
look at in the U.S.
The Troupe said, "Watch where we
go, why not? The CIA does!"

GreenerSpeak: How do you feel about
U .S. involvement In the Persian Gulf?

Marie Forsberg

Chris Smith

Michael Pob]

Jenny Croley

Chris MaUD

I think it 's really stupid. I
don 'I Ihink the U S. should
be involved in anything like
that. I Ihink the US lzkes
to get in volved in thilzgs
thai Ih ey shouldn 't, a1ld I
thillk somelhing should be
done about it. It 's none oj
their business: II 's nol their
counlT)·.

Holey smokes l . . . I think
the US is way out oj line.
Period. That's all: They're
just way out oj line.

I think it's only logical considering that the whole
system oj capitalism is based on the exploitation oj the
Third
World.
It's
deplorable, but if we want
to keep capitalism going it's
necessary. I think the only
way td stop things like that
and otherJorced cooperation
oj other is to change the
whole system oj capitalism.

IJ we need oil, I think we
should stay in there, but if
it 's going to affect a lot oj
people, and it 's really bad
Jor other countries that are
already over there, I don 't
think we should be there.
I'm
not
really
knowledgeable about it, but
that's what I think. You
know,· If it's really goi1lg to
hurt the other countries,
then we should get out oj
there, but if it's really going to be devasting to our
country we should stay. But
we shouldn't start arry war.

Well, I basically believe
that we're overextenting our
position in the Persian
Gulf, that we're cl~arly not
non-partisan, and that
we're carrying a big stick.
