editor's note:
I am very embarrassed to report that
in our last issue's piece celebrating
Passover, some of the Hebrew
characters illustrating the text were upside down. I am indignant to report that
some members of the community
suspected that it was done deliberately
as some kind of joke, instead of attributing it correctly to good oldfashioned ignorance and overwork.
In the process of confronting one's ignorance and trying to overcome it, one
inevitably puts one's foot in one's mouth.
Here at Evergreen, we are all trying to
overcome bigotries based on ignorance.
This entails making some mistakes.
When one makes a mistake and gets
jumped on by hostile and suspicious
onlookers, the learner often becomes too
shy and embarrassed to continue hislher
learning process. This does nothing but
deepen the clefts between diverse
peoples.
If instead the learner is met with compassionate critique, the learning process
goes on. In other words, there's a big difference between kicking someone in the
butt and smashing their head in to the
pavement.
We have a unique opportunity tv overcome our cultural ignorances and build
an appreciation for diversity in a suppor·
tive community. Let's not blow it.

~AIDS
Letter to the community,
Appointments for the AIDS Antibody
Virus test at the Department of Health
Services office in downtown Olympia are
booked through early July. An alternate
way to "get the test" is by donating
blood: all blood donations are screened
for the AIDS virus. If any donation tests
positive, the donor is p~mpt~y contacted. Blood donation stations are set
up periodically throughout our area. The
next couple are:
.
~ Wednesday, .April 29, at the
S.P.S.C.C. campus Main Board Room,
9·12 aom; and 12:45-3 p.m.
~ Wednesday, April 29, at the State
Employee Credit tJnion parking
lot, downtown Olympia, 12-3 p.m. and
3:45-7 p.rn.
For further donation dates and locations caD the Puget Sound Blood Center
in Seattle, 1·292-6600.
The Olympia Community is be~
to realize that AIDS is not an isolated
syndrome. It is contraetable through
sexual contact - male, female, gay and
heterosexual (AIDS is not just a "gay"
disease~ AIDS has been found to lie dormant in the blood stream for up to 14
years (who have you slept with since
19741 Who have your friends been

with?). Whether you like condoms or
not, it may be reasonable to at least
know whether or not you are a transmitter of the virus. Taking the AIDS test
is not an admission of guilt, or sin or imminent ANYTHING .. it is simply an
acknowledgement of your responsibility to the community.
Donating blood is free.

Recycle, CPJ!
As the recycling coordinator, I was informed that in the second week of May
the CPj will focus on waste, consumption,
etc .... I went into the office to discuss
recycling and a possible article with the
CPj staft'. I was bombarded with very
strong idealistic comments about how
we are a wasteful, consumer-oriented
society, about how Evergreen produces
80 much waste and is supposed to be so
ecologically consCious but really is
not...then I looked around the office and
noticed that the paper recycling boxes
that were provided to the CPj by recycling were not there, and that the garbage
can was full of recyclable Daper. This
2

~f

hypocrisy was nothing compared to the
anger I felt as a result of having th~hai-d
work and improvements to the
Evergreen recycling program negated
with a hostile, ill-founded comment like
"Evergreen is not ecologically conscious
and is making no effort to correct the
situation."
Let me remind the CPJ that Evergreen
is recycling a considerable amount of its
waste, that the recycling program has
grown over 200% in the last year, that
ecologically conscious Evergreen staff
members were still making due with
eight-year-old cardboard boxes to collect
recyclable paper, that the Director of
Facilities at Evergreen provided the
materials to build two cardboard storage
bins that are now in location in the basement of the CAB and the Library
building, that the Director of Custodial
Services graciously provided four new
alu.minum containers ...
I've only just begun to touch upon the
ecologically conscious actions of the
faculty and staft' of Evergreen. I personally am very thankful for their patience, support, and efforts. Thank you
George, Yuki, Vern, Bonnie, John,
Knoll, Clint, Cheryl, Kurt and the rest
of the wonderful people who have helped
promote recycling this year.
Back to the point at hand .. the at-

news
titude I was overwhelmed with in the
CPj office needs to be tempered with
realistic overview, factual statements,
and accompanied with real activity. The
CPj has conscientiously recycled most
of the uncirculated back issues that accumulated in the office. I hope you can
make an effort to recycle on a daily
basis, and to be encouraging and supportive of Evergreen efforts. Just paying
lip service to ideals is not being
idealistic.
Thank you for your support of my program, and for publishing my announcements and articles about
recycling.
Sincerely,
Kirk Haffner, Recycling Coordinator

Passover

Dear Polly,
It is a combination of sadness and
anger that has prompted the genesis of
this letter. The article by Will Perry containing a paragraph on Passover (CPj
4-16-87) continued a tradition of false
representation of Jewish worship and
tradition. The thought of including
Passover in his article was nice, but it
was frightening to see such a lack of
necessary detail regarding the sym-

POW

bolism involved, and the propagation of
the belief that Jews engage in blood
rituals to commemorate their G-d during Passover.
Your assertion that Jews commit
(your sentence was in present tense)
such sacrifices is wrong and has been
wrong for 2500 years. To understand the
historical implications of such "blood accusations," proper examples come from
the Middle Ages. It was during this
period that Jews refrained from d!inking red wine on the Sabbath and other
holidays to avoid being linked with propaganda impiicating their customs with
the sacrifice of children. Such propaganda caused the deaths of many
Jewish people. Though deaths are now
a less common occurrence, this and
similar types of misinformation are still
employed by Anti-Simites to instigate
cross-cultural aggression.
The celebration of Passover does entail symbolic references-the blood of
the lamb being one of them-but not
slaughter. It is traditional for Jews conducting a seder (ritual dinner) to place
the shank bone of a lamb , along with
other symbolic foods, on the seder table.
The shank bone commemorates the
passing of the angel of death through
Egypt during the enslavement. Sent by
G-d as a conclusion to a series of plagues

brought upon Egypt for their enslavement of the Jews, the angel searched for
the first born of each household. Jews
applied lambs' blood to their door posts
so as to be overlooked by the angel, thus
insuring that the plague would affect only Egyptians, Thus, it is not the
slaughter of the lamb which we are concerned with, but rather the use of its
blood in this one instance.
Next to the lamb shank are placed the
bitter herbs in commemoration of the
bitterness of Jewish enslavement. An
egg on the seder table commemorates
new life and G-d's mercy. Morror (a
traditional food of the seder) is eaten
with horseradish to remember Jewish
labor spent on Egyptian monuments.
There ' are other symbolic gestures we
make during Passdver but they are
beyond the scope of this letter,
Let me conclude by saying that I
welcome your interest and the interest
of any other community member in the
Jewish culture, But, I suggest that
before you are satisfied with your interpretation of Jewish beliefs or rituals, you
come speak with me. It is a commendable act to seek the understanding of
the cultures around us, but likewise it
is a detrimental act to hold and spread
any misinformation about them.
Sam Segall, Maarava

There could be yet another mandatory
fee on your tuition bill next fall if proposals made in the final report of the
Student Governance DTF are implemented. The report calls for the creation of several paid positions, including
an office of student investigative
reporters and a lobbyist to coordinate
student action in the State Legislature.
The task force envisions "a nonhierarchal governance structure"
representing all students, to be -called
the Student Union, which in turn would
be administered by a seven-member
elected Student Union Coordinating'
Committee (SUCC). The committee,
which would meet the entire year, would
be prohibited from deciding union policy.
Instead the committee's agenda and
priorities would be defmed by quarterly general elections.
To fmance the Student Union the
, report suggests that a mandatory fee be
levied at the time of tuition payment.
While the report does not give any
fIgUres, the necessary fee could be
substantial, judging from the services
and scope of the new governance
structure.
Among some of the paid positions
outlined in the report are: a facilitor and
secretary for committee meetings,a lobbyist who would champion student interests at the State Legislature, a staff
person to write, edit, and format a weekly governance newsletter, and four student investigative l'2porters.
Key to the proposed governance structure would be student participation. To
this end the repqrt stresses that the college must make it clear to potential
students that Evergreen is an alternative institution where students have
a responsibility to involve themselves in
the college decision-making processes.
This fact should be made conspicuous in
both the college catalogue and in Admissions Oftice presentations to prospective
students.
Furthennore, all new students would
be required to write an essay or attend
an orientation explaining the Social Contract prior to registration. Under terms
of the report, academic programs could
not exceed 14 credits. That way students
can have the option of doing two credits
in governance, although programs would
have two-credit components for those
wishing to carry 16 academic credits.
The report was commissioned by Gail
Martin. Vice President for Student Affairs. Martin expressed surprise at the
expansive structure outlined in the

Governance DTF:

report. "It raised, for me, more questions than it answered," Martin commented last Monday. "They responded
.
far too much."
According to the report, the existing
S&A allocations board would remain intact, but the SUCC would recommend
funding priorities to the board based on
student elections. S&A Board Coordinator Dave Campbell views this as an
improvement over the existing structure. However, that was the only portion of the report he saw as useful. "I
see it as an unworkable document,"
Campbell said. He questions the fact

that no one on the S&A Board (the
closest thing Evergreen now has to a
student government) was asked to serve
on the DTF.
Campbell is concerned that if the ad- .
ministration also views the plan as unworkable, President Olander will make
good on his threat to impose a student
governance structure designed by the
administration. Campbell claims that
since President Olander disbanded the
Evergreen Council, "Students do not
have a voice and they want to keep it
that way."
--Timothy O'Brien

forum for student input
How can students be involved in making decisions at Evergreen? That ~ the
question students have been asking for
the last several years. The Student
Governance Disappearing Task Force
was charged to study this issue and to
recommend a governance structure. The
DTF met for 15 weeks and has issued
its report. The report is available from
the Student Communications Center,
which is located in the CAB building inside the Information Center.
It is now incumbent upon students to
decide what will become of the recommendations made ~ the DTF. A forum
for dis~on ofilie DTF report and the
4

issue of student governance will be held
on Thursday, May 7 from 12-1 in the
Library Lobby.
President Olander is anxious to see a
student governance system imp~emented. If students fail to act, the administration may implement a governance system of its own design. This is
an opportunity for students to control
the form and direction that student
governance will take. All students who
are concerned with the future of the college and how their tuition and their student actiyity fees are , spent should
attend.

ASH residents hash it out with owner
A number of issues and concerns were
raised by the residents of the ASH Tree
Apartments at a midday meeting held
last Monday, April 13. Phil McLennan,
one of the owners of Phoenic Properties,
conducted the meeting. The small ASH
office was filled to capacity for the duration of the one hour and forty-five
minute meeting.
Although it was supposed to be an informational meeting about the installation of the proposed new lighting
system, other topicg were raised. These
included: the formation of a tenants'
union; a potential rent increase; the
possibility of weatherization for the
apartments; future landscaping plans;
movi.."lg the children's play area; handling noisy neighbors; having the
clubhouse reopened for tenants' use; and
why there was no notification before the
recent removal of about 100 trees.
One of the ml\ior issues discussed was
whether ASH management is willing to
accept input from tenants before they
make decisions that alter the residents'

living environment. Some residents feel
that there are conflicting values between
the ml\iority of the residents and the
management. When McLennan said,
"We are interested in making it (ASH)
a better place," several tenants responded by asking, "A better place by who's
standards?"
Several times McLennan expressed
the concern that vandalti;m is a serious
. issue, especially in regards to the
lighting system.
McLennan did make a number of concessions and offers of cooperation. For
example, he encouraged the formation
of a tenants' union, agreed to assist it by
allowing space to be set aside on the
community bulletin board, and agreed to
pay the costs of printing a newsletter.
He went on to say he would accept and
give consideratiori to tenant input when
it is in the form of a proposal. These proposals could be on such items as landscaping, the lighting system and the
creation of a commons area or
llse
clubhouse room.

The only item that was given a time
deadline was for the new lighting
system. He only accepted formal bids
from lighting infltallation companies that
were submitted by April 22nd.
Tenants' hopes generally seem to have
been raised, but many still feel very apprehensive. There were expressions of concern about whether the
management can be trusted. Even so,
resident Prue Hathaway stated, "I feel
very positive about his willingness to
hear our input."
Toward the end of the meeting,
Mclennan stated, "I am aware that you
are concerned; now we want to see if you
are concerned enough to take action."
Kathy Carpenter, a representative
from the Tenants' Knowledge Organization, later remarked that "he has indicated that he is putting the ball back
in the tenants' court." She continued on,
saying, "Mclennan has shown his willingness to be receptive to our concerns,
so now it is time for the tenants to act."

Freeze lecture planned
"At the first sign of Soviet hostilities,"
the U.S. would sink the Russian submarines, a U.S. Navy Commander
recently stated.
Rationalization and a vagueness
characterize "first-strike," an offensive
U.S. "defense" policy that could destroy
another continent, and even ourselves,
possibly without a missile even being
fired by the other side. Since the late
19702, the U.S. has been procuring the
means to destroy Soviet weapons in
their silos. By the end of this decade,
Trident submarines, MX missiles and
Minuteman missiles could give our country the capability of destroying 90% of
the Soviet arsenal.

Mary Hanson of the Kin~ County
Coalition for a Nuclear Freeze will \>e
discussing "First Strike and Civil
Disobedience in the Nuclear Age," April
28, noon to 1 p.m. in Lecture Hall 2. The
program will include slides of "Stop the
Countdown," a protest at Cape
Canaveral in January that successfqlly
interfered with the testing of Trident II
missiles. Mary will talk about her plans
for civil disobedience on May 5, the day
the last of the Trident submarines arrives at Bangor, as well as what she
believes we can do to build !l saner
future.

TESC trivia
Everyone knows that Evergreen produces a lot of garbage. Some of it even
gets thrown away! In fact, an average
of 280 dumpsters containing 577 loose
cubic yards of garbage are emptied
every month. That works out to 30 tons
of garbage a month or 19 pounds per
Evergreen community member a
month.
Also, Evergreen's 538 employees and
2,480 students together make an
average of9,618 xerox copies every day.
Hope nobody's plagiarizing! Remember
those copyright laws!
And speaking of copyrights, let's move
to the library. In March, the library
visited 18,047 times. The visitors checked out 5,978 books. And on March 27,
they sent out 2,068 overdue notices to
1,122 patrons. Bring those books back
now, boys and girls.
•
Evergreen also has a huge phone
b

system. Ever wonder how much it costs
to be able to transfer your call all over
campus when all you want to know is
when the bookstore opens? The monthly
bill was $11,000 last September. That's
nothing, though. Keeping the donna, the
classrooms and everything else on campus warm and cozy put $497,000 into
Puget Power's coffers in 1986.
Another interesting fact: this
month the college will spend $1,833,167
on salaries for all its employees.
But perhaps it is toilets that really
keep things flowing here at Evergreen.
Facilities receives an average of one
call a day concerning overflowing or
otherwise plugged-up toilets.

analy-~si~s

"There are two is8'Ues that have
come to our attention that will
reduce available office space. The
expansion of the Computer Center
would mean the loss of seven faculty offices- The Library remodeling
plan wcndd mean the loss of eleven
potential offices. In view of these
anticipated problems, we strongly
recommend that the college administration implement the CAB
Phase II plan to accomodate S&A
offices. "
--Minutes of the Space Use Task
Force, M~h 23, 1987

"We appreciate your concern
about office space, and understand
your recommendation about C~B
Phase II. We'd like you not to thtnk
in terms of CAB Phase II, but in
terms of relocation of the student
offices (without an assumption
about how it should be accomplished) ... As you know, the CAB Space
Group has been given the charge to
examine relocation po8sibilitie8. "
--Memo from Sue Washburn to Jim
Duncan and Mike Beug, April 1,

1987
"If you don't stir the pot, you'll
burn the beans_" --Old Saying
One of the biggest pot of beans that
Evergreen students have ever seen is
on their collective stove right now. If it
doesn't get stirred in the most vigorous
fashion, tile Evergreen community may
be eating bad chili for decades to come.
If the beans burn, it will have been this
generation of Evergreen students who
were not responsible enough to save
them.
In 1991 the student group offices in the
library are going to have to move out.
Evergreen is growing and the college
needs that space for faculty and administrative offices. Where will the stu-

dent groups go? Everyone says it will
be the CAB. If so, there are going to
have to be some changes. There's no
place for those groups in the CAB right
now.
.
Plans drawn up years ago call for
building a new wing called CAB Phase
I I. This plan would put a new addition
on the CAB, extending it out from the
back wall of the Greenery, the
Bookstore and the CPJ and onto the
outdoor deck on the third floor. The fIrst
two floors would be used to expand the
room of the current occupants. The third
floor wing would be used for student
activities.
The addition was estimated a few
years ago to cost $1,500,000. It would be
paid for with S&A fees. Those fees, $73
per quarter for most students, amount
to over a halfmillion dollars a year. They
are used to fund many of the operations
of the College Recreation Center, Intercollegiate Athletics, the Women's
Health Clinic, and about twenty other
student groups, as well as the adminis.trators who oversee the management of the funds.
I have two major problems with the
CAB Phase II. First, I don't see why
student money should be used to subsidize SAGA and the Bookstore. If their
contracts were with a student government, and if they were occupying a student owned building, I might feel differently. But their contracts are with the
college administration and the CAB is
a college owned building. In fact, it
might even be illegal to use student
money to expand their facilities.
My second problem is my greatest concern for the burning of Evergreen's
beans. The cost of creating a new concrete monolith on campus is pretty stiff.
A million and a half bucks, plus interest
over twentY or thirty years, can buy you
a lot of frijolles.
7

Where would the money come from?
The only part of the S&A budget that
isn't well protected from being siphon·
ed off is the part that goes to the small
student groups. We're going to build of·
fices for them, then take away the
money they use to do their work in order
to pay for the offices.
On other campuses, of course, this is
the kind of thing student fees are used
.for. But Evergreen is not one of those
campuses. Other campuses don't count
on the state for virtually all of their funding. They have some independent
sources of income .and some discretion
as to how it is used. Evergreen relies on
the legislature for almost all of its
money.
Evergreen also relies on those small
student groups for much of its cultural
diversity and social jQstice activities.
Can you imagirie going to the legislature
and asking them for money to put out
a literary magazine, sponsor a week long
pow-wow, or pay for organizational efforts to smash apartheid? No way.
The student groups which do this
work at Evergreen get a little over
$100,000 a year, or about 20% of the
S&A budget. For that amount of money
this community gets thousands ofbours
of cheap and free labor, a social agenda
that a campus ten times this size would
be _proud of, a training ground for
dedicated social activists, and a community structure that recruits, b'ains,
and encourages hundreds of volunteers
a year.
.
My educated guess is that the annual
CAB II payments would cost just about
as much as all these small groups get
every year. Of course, if the caII\"'US continues to grow, there will be anywhere
from 200 to 400 new students paying
S&A fees over the next few year8. .
However, the new gymnasium, if it's
built, is going to create additional pro-

grammatic demands for those funds. The
extra money isn't going to go very far.
Whew! This is getting complicated!
And I'm just getting to the part about
stirring beans. On March 5, Sue
Washburn, Vice President of Development, created a sub-committee of the
Space 'Use and Development and Task
Force. This subcommittee is supposed
to fIgure out what the CAB is for and
how to use it. They're supposed to have
it all figured out by May. Among other
things, they'll be looking at the student
office move.
The smoke signals I've read from the
committee, so far, have two messages.
One is to make sure that students don't
foot the bill to expand SAGA and the
Bookstore (Hooray!). The other is to
develop a statement of philosophy concerning CAB use.
Well, a statement of philosophy is a
very nice thing to have, and quite
necessary. But if there is nothing more
of substance coming from the committee, I'm afraid the paper they put theil'
opinions on will wind up in the circular
me with a bunch of burnt bureaucratic
beans and alternative dreams. That's
the last of this debate future Greeners
will ever sense, except for the faint
aroma of a <;arbonized democratic
process.
I don't mean to imply that there is a
lack of good intention on ·t he part of
anyone involved with this question. But
1991 isn't very far away; there are
already maJor space-use problems on
hand, and so far there is only one option
on the table. The heat is most definitely
on. We could easily wind up with CAB
Phase II by default. Gp back and read
the two quotes in the beginning of this
article if you doubt this possibility.
What's needed are some alternative
ideas (is that still acceptable at
Evergreen?) that might allow us to solve

these problems without taking two or
three million dollars out of the community's pocket. Let's dream up ways that
we can keep the activists active, the staff
comfortable, and the costs down. With
that happy thought in mind, I would like
to put in my three hundred million pennies' worth of thought.
.close up the holes in the third floor.
You know those big holes that make the
CAB seem like a half-built shopping mall
or Moby Dick's tomb? Close them up
and put offices on the third floor. It has
the disadvantage of making the second
floor of the CAB a bit dark and
claustrophobic, but there might be ways
around that, such as moving the couches
into the former bank space.
.create a fourth floor. How about a
mezzanine or balcony in the CAB? I like
this idea. Right now the giant upsidedown-egg-carton-echo chamber effect of
the CAB is uncomfortable, ugly, intimidating, and wasteful. I just wonder
if there's enough ceiling space and how
much it would cost.
""ake over the first floor. CAB 108
and 110 get used mostly for big meetings
and conferences. I think that big
dandy, but
meetings and conferences
if I had to prioritize I'd give $&A's small
groups the nod. The faculty lounge
might also be re-assigned. This option
has the advantage of being very inexpensive to students, and the disadvantages of curtailing conferences and
alienating faculty.
.Wall in the area below the walkway
to the CRC. I like this one, too. It's probably relatively expensive, but there is
already a floor and a ceiling. All we
would need would be walls and interiors.
There wouldn't be a lot of digging and
concrete pouring. This idea has a lot of
social. advantages, too. It would draw
the CAB and the CRC closer together
by making the space between them the

are

hub of student activity on campus. I
would like to see a dome over the hole
in the walkway for a big terrarii.unllounge.
~ip a hole in the first floor. No matter what else happens,' I think this
should be done. There's a lot of room
down in the basement of the CAB and
it's almost inaccessible. I think there's
space next to the elevator on the fJrSt
floor to put a staircase into the base·
ment. Then basement areas that are
suitable for offices could be remodeled.
~ove the Conference offices and the
Bookstore. We tried this idea out last
year and it floated about as well as the
Titanic. Where would we put the darn
thing? Well, it might be possible to glass
in the walkway on the ground floor of
the Library and move it there. I would
even be willing to use S&A fees for thal
Their current location in the CAB is the
best location on campus. I like the sym·
bolism of giving a big nod to activism
over consumerism, but I think its as 1ikely to happen at Evergreen as it is at a
private country club.
~ Airstream Trailer option. Alumn
Chuck Murray has suggested that, for
$30,000 apiece, we can buy each student
group an Airstream Trailer and park
them out on Red Square. This would certainly encourage student participation in
these activities. Every Christmas all the
student coordinators and volunteers
could hitch up and drive to Baja.
That's the bulk of my ideas. Go for a
walk and see what they look like in your
mind. I hope the Space Use subcommit·
tee will. I also hope that the casual
reader and the committee will discuss
these and other ideas, decide what may
be architecturally, financially, and
politically feasible, and make recommendations to the Space-Use Task force and
the S&A Board

Salish Tribute offers
educational opportunity

Picture, if you will, the Northwest
Coast Regicm two hundred years ago.
Old growth Cedar stands staunchly
poised an the banks of the Puget Sound
waters. A Northern Siilish style canoe
gently glides over the choppy Water
towards a cluster o/longhouses nestled
in a calm bay knOwn to the inhabitants
as D'SUQWUB (place of the clear salt
water).
The village is busy with harvesting activities. At least a dozenfamily canoes
are on the bo,y, each being navigated by
a woman while her husband swiftly
sweeps the water,i.m paling herring an
the twelve foot long rakes and rythmical·
ly shaking the catch free inside the
canoe. On the shore, elders and children
gather up clams fryym the tide lands,
while still others are just returning to
the village with heavy burden baskets
full of roots and shoots for future meals.
The Klallam visitcml have arrived
with a very important message for their
Suquamish neighbors. A wedding
ceremany is being planned and the
Klallams are here to inVite the Suo
quamish to attend. The marriage will
bond the Klallams even closer to a very
pou'erful ally, the lIummi to the North.
The Kall.ams have already visited]our
other villages, announcing at each stop
the future wedding plans and giving
gifts of preserved foods and woven
blankets. The invitatian has been warmly received by each of the separate nations: the Skagits of the Nortlieast side
of the Sound, The Duwamish of the midEast Sound region and a river people,
the Nisqualli and the Puyallups, and
now the Suquamish. All have accepted
the Iumur or attending BUCh a large
gathering. The Nations all know each
other very well; fflr thousands of years
the Puget Salish Peoples have depended an each other for many purposes.
Some of the gatherings were not joyous
occasions. In fact, this weddi ng
ceremony will be the first time these particular Nations will have gathered since
the last raid upan the Puget Sound by

the Haidas ', qjierce and powerful people from the North. It was in this time
of celebratian that the Skagits were attacked full force in the early morning.
Fortunately, a Skagit fisherman with
a quick mind set aut to get help fryym the
other Puget Salish Nations. He sped
towards the fishing camp of the .
Duwamish and immediately a
Duwamish set aut further south with the
somber news to seek more help fryym the .
Suquamish, and so it went until waves
of reinforcements collided with the
Haid4s in the waters of Puget Sound.
The small Tribes in the Sound stood no
chance alone, but together tfte massive
fleet could hold its own against the
wrath of the great Northern fighters.
And so it is that the essence of Tribal
co-existence on the Puget Sound is based on mutual need and respect between
the several distinct but related Tribal
Nations. Pot-Latch, a gathering of
peoples to celebrate a happy event, a
word that translates into English as
"Give Away," is an example of the attitude of the Puget Salish, whose
philosophy is that the richest person,
family or clan is the one who gives away
the most, not the one who has the most.
We at the Evergreen .Indian Center
believe in the Salish philosophy of PotLatch, and to that end it is our desire
to invite many representatives of the
Puget Salish Nations to "give away"
knowledge and expertise, stories and
histories, points of view, and attitudes
at our First Annual Tribute to Salish
people. The event will be held on Sunday, April 26, in various locations on
campus.
Festivities Will begin at 10 a.m. with
featured speakers from many Puget
Sound Salish Tribes, and will be held in
the Library, 2nd floor lobby. Presentations including the following:

Films and videos pertaining to Puget
Salish history and culture will be shown,
and Indian vendors will be on hand to
sell their art, crafts and foods.
The Tribute to Salish People was born
out of a sincere desire-on the part of the
staff and constituents of the Evergreen
Indian Center to provide an obviously
needed educlltion about the original
caretakers of this land t~at Evergreen
so boldly sits on. We see the opportunity to promote the ideology of the Puget
Salish People to you, the community of
Evergreen, as a needed' step in the
rather long and slow process of forging
a respect between the two cultures.
If, after this First AnilUal Tribute to
. Salish People, some semblance of sincere
respect grows out from the heretofore
ambiguous, and at times apathetic,
NON-Indian community, then we will
feel that we have done our job. If, after
the Tribute, a sincere desire to take the
Longhouse Project seriously is present,
then the Tribute will have been instrUmental in the ongoing process of
true cultural literacy.
We at the. Evergreen Indian Center
welcome yoUr active participation in all
the varied a<:tivities and events that
make up Indian Heritage Week, and invite you to come and learn more abc.It
the Indigenous People of the Puget
Sound through the First Annual Tribute
to Salish People. 0

Oaycare turnover shortchanges kids

As a single student parent, I have had
to rely on the Evergreen Childcare
Center to care for my two pre.school
children while I attend college full time
and work part time on campus.
As a new student in September, I saw
the daycare center go through ~or
transitional changes. The facility moved to the newly remodeled building 201
amid some controversy about environmental concerns. The center lost its
director at the end of last summer and
the entire fall quarter was spent in the
process of hiring a new director. Meanwhile, the center was run by the efforts
of a substitute· teacher and by Laura
Olson, who is a fme pre-school teacher,
but not an administrator. Laura
resigned effective spring quarter.
I have seen the effects of these
changes in my five year old daughter.
We have been through our own changes
within our family. Add this to her attachments to both of her teachers, who
are now gone. She asks when she will
l:Iee them again.
My two·year-old daughter has been
through the experience of not having a
caregiver in her area on a daily basil:lone penlOn who is held accountable for
what goes on with her and the othel'
children in her age group. ConsequentIy . her care ha..~ suffered.
The people who staff childcare are
generally caring, responsible people, and
they do as well as can be expected in
view of l>eing undersiatled at times,
overstrell8ed with school work; in addition, the staff holds varying degrees of
the skills necessary to work with small
children. All the same, I would not be

able to do the work necessary to make
a better life for myself and daughter
without the staff at the daycare.
What I am taking to tasRis the lack
of commitment on the part of
Evergreen. Many people on campus
don't even know of the existence of the
Childcare Center. The center currently
is in dire need of a new teacher tp take
over the .spot left by Laura Olson. The
director of the center, Pat Sarmento, is
having to do 'double duty asleacher and
administrator, no small task.
Frustrated by the length of time it
took to hire an administrator last fall,
and wanting to avoid a delay in getting
the qualified teacher that we need so

badly, I volunteered to serve on the
Childcare Center's Advisory Board in
the hope that t'd be able to help.
So far, the interviewing process has
been delayed twice by the people who
review the applications before the Advisory Board. We won't be able to interview applicants until the week of April
27. This is unfortunate, since the Board
will have to find a qualified person who
is willing to work a few weeks and then
leave for the summer (there are no funds

children.
. A college that prides itself on twenty
years of "making a difference" should
not be associated with a daycare that is
of questionable quality solely because
lack of financial support makes it difficult to provide the necessary qualified
staff.
If we had academic support from the
college, we may be able to draw the kind
of students to the center that we need,
those who have the commitment to
learn and in turn provide the care the
children need. There seems to be little
concern that once again the needs of the
daycare have been put on the back
burner. If some academic program had
been in need of a
faculty member at
the beginning of
spring quarter, you
can bet your sweet
geoduck that the
program wouldn't
have to make do un·
til somewhere in
the middle of the
quarter, as is the case with Pat and the
other staff at the daycare.
We need more than lip-service from
those in power here on campus in order
to make the Childcare Center one of
which ' all involved can be proud.
Evergreen has been a model for educa·
tion. Our daycare can also be a model for
Early Childhood Education, but not
without the practical support frqm the
very people who built the coll~ge to be
what it is today.O

Governance

"a vascillating and labyrinth-like process"

Prime Time
Governance day has passed away and
in its place has arisen Governan&:! Prime
Time. The weighty process of student
decision-making will now occur from 3-5
p_m. Mondays' and Wednesdays and
12:30-2 p.m. Fridays ..
The pragmatic advantages of this arrangement are apparent from the administration's standpoint of space and
schedule. Since attention spans are
shrinking, perhaps Governance Prime
Time is designed to better serve the student masses. I fail to see governance
benefits in this system, though_ .
Regardless of what merit I may find
in this new system, I cannot help but be
annoyed by the way in which the decision was solicited. First, the administration asked the Governance DTF to approve this plan. The DTF, to their
credit, recognized that they had no legal
right to do so. The administration gained approval for the plan through the
President's Advisory Committee. But
don't be alarmed; the administration
says that we can change it if it doesn't
work out. But who will decide what
"working" means? The fundamental
mechanism for student governance at
Evergreen has been altered. It is a little bit like nullifying a constitution.
In any real democracy, such a fundamental change would hav.e required
the approval of the voters, not just a
governing body, and especially not just
a committee. Herein lies the problem:
democracy does not work on the trickledown theory. It is an organic thing that
grows between the people who create it
and use it. In this society, democracy is
missing in most workplaces, in most
families and in many institutions. So
while the failure of student governance
at Evergreen is a glaring irony, it should
not surprise us.
As products of a society that stresses
the individual and in a time that. buries
its con"cience in narcissism, there are
few who see the collective problems and
even fewer who visualize the collective
sol utions. If we are to live in a
democratic society, we must forge the
links of deI110cracy among ourselves.
Tha t will require a new way of thinking
for m a n ~' of us. Consensus is lm.t in the

II Joe broken

he broke up

play of egos; we don't know what it
means.
Real democracy must be efficient as
well as representative. Conducting efficient and effective meetings is a crucial
skill. If we cannot even govern
ourselves, our lives after Red Square
may be of little impact.
We are indebted to those who have
done their time on the Governance IYrF.
But rather than have overcommitted
students spend hours reinventing the
wheel in man-eating DTFs , we need to
begin somewhere more fundamentaL
Jefferson borrowed from the Greeks,
and Nicaragua has borrowed from the
United States and Sweden.
If we an> serious about democracy,
II

then let us see a commitment on the part
of the student body and the administration. Let these ideas be contributed to
the DTF and presented to the student
body.
Those purists who disdain the process
out of a belief that democracy and truly
representative government is impossible here will not have a hand in creating
such. Those who don't care and don't
want to know will flounder in their own
ignorance. However, it is to the adv,m.
tage of all of us to participate at ;east
to the level that we can comfortably sustain, because without self·governance
the defacto governance goes on.O

In the beginning, there was an old
power that owned a forest of "old
growth" knowledge. High fences surrounded the forest and all minds could
be found inside the fence struggling with
the trees of knowledge... Until one day
a single mind said, "Let there be a new
idea." And even as the mind thought, it
was so. And the idea said, "Am I good,
mind... ?" And the mind said, "Yea, thou
art good, for I have thought of thee out
of my likeness."
A short time later the mind spoke to
other minds and shared the New Idea.
During this meeting of minds there was
a great debate over such an idea. So loud
was the din that a hint of the new idea
reached the old power, but it was too
late. "The word" of the new idea quickly spread to other minds and they clainmored in such general accord as to the
goodness of the New Idea that
Evergreen sprang forth, and a new tree
outside the fence of the old power took
root and grew there. So new was the
idea, 80 rich in thought was the concept
of the new source of power, that it defied
any pretense of existence that the old
power's gardeners could muster. "It's
a weed" screamed they to their masters,
"We must control it before it reaches into the forest."
With the egos of its best gardeners at
stake, the old power sent many advertlities to trouble the very young source
of power. Many times the tree was
shaken and buffeted, but the new tree's
guardians steeled their will against the
brawn of the old power. Years passed,
and after many trials that tested the
bravery and integrity of the new plant,

the forces of old ebbed. Seemingly tired
of the struggle, the old forest gardeners
let the youth be.
The seedling bore fruit and it was
found to be good. The guardians of the
new tree of knowledge were happy and
their generosity was great. The
gratitude of the many who favored the
new tree showed as they in their tum
left to tell the world of their fmd.
The years passed, and the new tree
stood by itself, alone against a disgruntled, old, hemmed-in-by-a·high-fenceforest. Long it had been since any real
threat had ventured forth from the old
forest to attack the tree. The new idea's
guardians were grown weary and
peevish. No longer could they see a
challenge to their position and their interest waned. They spoke among
themselves: "It is too much for the people to expect us to remain harnessed in
our vigil. We are safe now." Another
spoke: "Yea, for we know, as certain as
we are here today that the New Idea
bears fruit, and that this fruit is good.
All can see that!" To this they all agreed.
Finally a third guardian spoke: "I also
weary of this dull task. Let us bestow
the gift of watch and care upon all those
who taste 'this fruit and fInd it good."
The guardians agreed, and there was
much seminaring among all who were
concerned with the flavor of the new
fruit.
For a period of time the New Idea's
elder guardians watciled the process of
care, but soon lost interest as all seemed to go well. As thE> vigilance of the
guardians waned, the power of the old
forest began to celebrate. For them

there was much to be happy about...
time had favored them ... Soon, feigning
humbleness, the older power sent its
groveling emissar gardeners to petition
the new care takers of the tree with the
older power's "tried and true" methods
of good care.
To this source of old knowledge the
naive caretakers listened. For a long
time these emissary/gardeners spoke.
On and on and into the years the old
power spoke of the dangers of the
broad world, strife, radicals, hapless
order, ... and then they made many promises to care for the new plant. For
years the old power talked, all the while
biding time until fmally the naive
caretakers grew older and left,
dismayed "at what little they had seemed to have recieved from the New Idea.
But still) they carried with them a
description of the flavor of their fIrst
taste of the new fruit's promise. And
this, unmindful of the change they had
witnessed, they passed on. This made
the old power very happy. More and
more people came to see and taste the
New Idea. The old power let down its
fence and welcomed all in, snaring their
senses with a vascillating and labyrinthlike process of disclosing the veiling of
the new idea as a gem to be kept safe ...
So it came to pass that the New Idea
was hybrid of the old power, and its concepts grew to mediocrity. The old fence
was expanded to include the new tree.
Then one day, struggling within the
briars of the old forest, a single mind
said: "Let there be a new idea." And
even as the mind thought, it was so ... 0

Documentary captures Lily's twinkle
It is unfortunate that documentary
films are not widely distributed, because
Lily Tomlin, which is presently being
shown at the Seven Gables in Seattle,
would appeal to a broad audience. Her
national TV Laugh In fans, her Irtc1·edi·
ble Shrinking Woman and All of Me
movie fans, and her feminist sisters and
pro-feminist brothers would appreciate
this mm. They would er\ioy the snatches
of her hit show, The Search for Signs 'of
Intelligent Life in the Universe, as well
as the behind the scenes look at its crea- '
tion. Both are interestingly documented
by the film's directors, Nicholas Broom·
fielri and Joan Churchill, who employed
the Wiseman style of filmmaking.
It took twenty months of performing
throughout the country (Atlanta, Austin,
San Diego) before Lily and her writer
Jane Wagner considered The Search fully developed. Each skit, supported by
rehearsed gestures, lights, and sounds,
was honed to razor sharpness. The continuity was under constant surveillence
The fJ.1m shows these women and their
manager, Cheryl Swannack, concentrating solely on perfecting the show. At

one point, the film audience sees Cheryl
standing among pedestrians on a Broadway street comel' just before the show's
New York opening. She is looking up
and shouting at some billboard artists on
a scaffold thirty of forty feet above the
street, and directing them as to where
to place some white dots on the eyes in
Lily's portrait in order to reproduce her
inimitable twinkle. It was a treat to
witness the trial and error method they
used in pursuing excellence by relentless
testing and criticism.
Lily and Jane had to know the audi~m~e. At the end of each "out of town"
performance, the mike was opened to
the audil:m~e for input. The reference to
"CR" escape.d a twenty year old man
who wasn't there when the feminist
movement was talking about Consciousness Raising. Turkey baster inseminations and the humor of the
description of the labia-shaped candle
with the tampon string wick, an alternative to the centw-ies-old phallic shaped
ones, may have also escaped the postsixties generation.
Lily delivers her jokes in the guise of

characters
she
has
created.
In The Search, a small girl is further
miniaturized by sitting in a chair which
is overscaled three times. She freely expresses attitudes like a psychoanalized
adult. The large chair intensifies the
message of intimidation and oppression
children sometimes feel from adults. In
an interview with Lily at her home in
California, she is seated in this chair in
her own personna This made me
wonder how much this intimidatiqn continues into adulthood.
The material reflects the egalitarian
weltans/touung of mature, experienced,
and responsible people. The hot
response of the opening night audience,
which included fellow "show biz" peopIe, proved the value of the content and
its delivery. As wordsmiths, Lily and
Jane examined causes and slogans of our
times. They jogged us into reconsidering them in creative ways, as when Lily asks the whales to save us. In a
similar way, I would have renamed the
performance, In Searchfor Signs of Intelligent Life on this Planet. O

Saturday, April 25, both beginning at 8
p.m. in the Recital Hall in the Communications Building. The Friday concert will feature several small ensemble
groups, while the Saturday performance
will be given by the Evergreen
Chamber Orchestra. The groups will
playa variety of pieces from the classic
literature, such as Bach, Haydn, and
Handel. The Orchestra will also present
the pre'm ier performances of works bv

Evergreen's own Mark Thome. The concerts will spotlight the accomplishmentH
of the musicians, and will spur
further interest in fine music perfor·
mance at Evergreen.
The Evergreen Chamber Music Society has been in existence since Fall
quarter of this year. Members of the Orchestra have formed small ensembles
dur,ing the year that will perform in th'e
Friday concert. The Orchestra itself consists of several string musicians; the
woodwind family is also well
represented.

This compact group possesses good
balance anel emphasises ensemble between all instruments. At the beginning
of Winter Quarter, the Orchestra Wdineel the conducting talents of faculty

Jeffrey Bartone's floating performance event, The Sinking
of the Titanic, was the realization of his childhood obession.
Fifty people, most attired in fashions reminiscent of the day,
boarded the Motor Vessel Lotus at Percival Landing to commemorate the seventy-fUth anniversary of the sea disaster.
"POSH" -Port Out, Starboard Home, was the slogan of the
day. The immediacy of that April 14, 1912 was strangely
present. Upon boarding a white-linened and slick-haired Jon
Kline was ftrst encountered reading aloud names from the
passenger list of the Royal Mail Ship Titanic. Unemotionally, Kline sounded off the eventual status of each: saved or
drowned. One might haye wondered how many of the 1,522
lost and 705 saved actually were recalled this evening three
quarters of a century later.

pulled away from dock, Tim Brock lea~ Seattle's Bravura
String Ensemble in their arrangement of "Nearer My God
to Thee," one of the three hymns thought to have been played
as the ship was going down.
Bartone's objective was to offer each passenger an individually unique experience in a reconstruction of the
tragedy. During the course of the evening, passengers
vicariously floundered in the midst of the Titanic'8 "equation
of facts and mythos." Bartone encouraged his passengers ~
stroll about the ship so that once back on shore they could
render their own version of the tale.
In the small galley below deck toward the stem, one found
chowder, champaign, and a grinning, soot-faced R. Paul Tyler,
strumming his guitar and singing from a sampling of over 200
folk songs penned about how sad it was that great ship went
down.
_
Alongside ship, two students in a canoe were denied pennission to board the Lotus by Capt. Gruye. Instead, passengers
rained coins upon the\r long-haired heads.
Meanwhile, ominous recordings of actual survivors' accounts
murmured throughout the ship. Their distant voices were
seeping in and out of the collective consciousness of the Lotus
passengers., The night dragged on. Rumors languished of styrofoam
icebergs. Bartone, in coat and tails, handed out heavy blankets
to the huddled masses who sat in wicker deck chairs. The
vodka was almost gone.
Tht'ee performers sat in front of microphones. Smoking like
fiends, each in turn read excerpts of statements from the
Titanic'8 passengers and crew.
A long-threatened gale besieged the Lof:u8. Rain crashed
against the deck. Gentlemen volunteers fastened the foulweather tarps. Capt. Gruye steered back for Fiddlehead.
Tyler appeared on deck, wide~yed and covera1led. In his
best lilting brogue, he spun a yam about 340 engineers below
deck. They could stoke three tons of coal in one crossing. Faith
in the engines would keep her afloat. He told how he ran from
boiler to boiler as the water rose up around his legs. Tyler
stared vacantly ahead. "We never thought she'd go under,"
he cried. 0 --Paul Pope

Start packing. We're headed for Belize.
Gary Diammul is a correspondent
traveling through Central America. In
pa8t is8'UeB, he 8hared his experience8 in
Baja and Mexico. This week, he tells
alxmt Belize. Look for his story on
Nicaragua in future issues.
Ever think about giving up the 20th
Century rat race and heading towards
sorne far away, tropical land? Of giving
up concrete for an endless beach of white
sand where the word "traffic" means
that there's two monkeys in your
favorite coconut tree and "schedule"
means that you have to move your
blanket every six hours as the tide
shifts? Ever think about going to Belize?
Well, stop thinking and start packing.
Belize can easily be mistaken for
paradise. It is a tiny land of endless summer, tropical breezes, lush green
jUngle"" and ~me of the most beautiful
beaches in the world. At 215 mileS' long
and 60 miles wide at its fartheS't reaches,
Belize is also the tiniest country on the
continent. The flavor it retains is that
of a small Caribean island all but forgotten by time.
The language is a familiar and comfortable English, making Belize an island
in a nearly endless sea of Spanish. Not
that the language spoken hp.re is iden·
tical to our own. The dialect is distinctly Caribbean and often hard to decifer.
Listening in on a conversation can be

like trying to make out the words in
good reggae. You know wot I be sayin,
mon?
Until 1981 Belize was still a colony of
Great Britain. In fact, up until the mid
1970's Belize was known as British Honduras_ It was during that time that a
man named George Price worked
diligently to establish Belize as an independant nation. He helped to change
the name, and gave it the flag and a national anthem. He also tried to have his
face permanently reproduced on all of
Belize's postage stamps, but was unsuccessful. Queen Elizabeth the Second
- reigns tJtere still.
Belize is now a part of the British
Commonwealth along with Canada and
Australia. I have yet to meet a person
that clearly understands just what the
British Commonwealth is, other than
providing royal stamps. Belize is entirely independant, although Great Britain
retains a small branch of its army here
to train Belizean troops and keep its own
troops trained in jungle warfare. There
has been some talk of a complete
withdrawal of British troops within the
next few years, but for the moS't part the
citizens of Belize are indifferent to'the
English military presence. The soldiers
are not altogether unwanted; they bring
foreign currency to the country and provide a strong grounding of stability in
t he face of growing political unrest next
16

door in Guatamala.
The soldiers also add their own element to the varied mix of people.. that
make up Belize. Walking down Commerce Street in Dangriga, you might see
British soldiers in camoflage fatigues;
modern descendants of white settlers in
shirts and ties; Belizeans of Chinese descent riding on a truck hauling sacks of
rice; American and Canadian expatriots
talking about starting a shrimp farm;
Ketchi Indians speaking amongst
themselves in a language derived from
the ancient Mayan tongue; Mexicans,
Guatamalans, Salvadorians, Hondurans,
and Nicaraguans carrying out business
transactions in Spanish; Black Caribs
and Creoles swimming in the river. and
drinking Pepsi in the siesta shade; and,
of course, yours truly, the gringo tourist,
watching it all with a curious eye.
. What makes this social sceruJio so unique is the casual harmony in which all
these diverse groups of people co-exist.
It is such a subtle harmony that it could
go by unnoticed. Only as you spend more
time watching the people interact does
it strike you: an Englishman suddenly
conversing in Spanish with a Mexican,
or a Chinese waitress taking your order
without speaking English. There is a
wonderful peace in a place that could
provide an ideal setting for violence.
The first day I arrived in Belize I met
an old man who was more than happy

to tell me everything I could possibly
want to know about his country. In the
north, he said, lived many Mexicans and
Spanish speaking immigrants. As you
travel further south (particularly along
the coast) the large majority of the
population are black Caribs (the Caribs
are now officially known as the Garinagu
since someone recently opened a die·
tionary and discovered that Carib ac·
tually means cannibal) who originally
came to Belize via Jamaica and Hon·
duras. There are also Creoles, who have
a mix of so many different kinds of blood
that they are now a race entirely unto
themselves. They speak a peculiar brand
of English that uses uncommon
Elizabethan words no longer used by the
rest of the English speaking world, as
well as a hodgepodge of native and
Spanish words. There are also many ,
villages in the South that are made up
entirely of indigenous people. These are
the KetChi and Mayan peoples, both of
whom are modern 'descendants of the ancient Mayans that once populated much
of Central America.
In the North the main agricultural
crop is sugar cane. It grows rapidly in
the flooded plains of the safari-like Northern frontier. When harvested by the

lash of machetes, the cane is trucked to
Orange Walk Town where it is milled into a raw brown sugar or molasses. This
product is then taken to Belize City,
shipped to the United States, processed into white table sugar, and then reimported to Belize. Although Belize is less
impoverished than its Spanish speaking
neighbors, it still cannot afford the
technology that would allow it to refine
its own sugar cane.
In the jungles surrounding the Mayan
mountains south of the capitol city of
Belmopan, the main cash crops are
bananas, citrus fruits, and Cllcao. The
terrain throughout the nation is lush and
fertile with a 12 month growing season,
making Belize an ideal place to buy a few
acres ofland and start that farm you've
always wanted.
I recently met an American who did
just that; he bought a 100 acre farm that
had been abandoned and left in disrepair
for several years. He paid 600 dollars
per acre. I was astounded. An acre of
land near Steamboat Island - or the
Delphi Valley would sell for $5000: For
the price of one acre near Olympia you
could buy nearly nine acres outside of
Mango Creek, and that's developed land.
Undeveloped land sells for about 100

dollars per acre.
There is plenty of land available and
it's easy for foriegners to purchase. The
farm purchased by the American I met
came complete with overgrown fruit
trees, rubber trees, and enough exotic
plants alone that if harvested and
returned to the United States would
give him a return of nearly the $60,000
he originally invested. The river funning through his property is drinkable (as
is most water in Belize) and has hydro
potential.
If you've been considering a search for
paradise in Belize and you eqjoy recreational intoxication, consider this: the
price for a gram of high-quality, ,fresh,
clean cocaine is $30. For forty dollars
you can buy an entire pound of high
grade commercial pot grown locally.
Chances are the first person you meet
when you walk down Queen Street in
Belize City will want to sell you either
pot, coke, blaCk coral, a prostitute, or
semi-precious stones such as jade.
As in any poor country with a tourist
trade, hustlers abound. One good hustle is in lending you a hand in rmding a
nice hotel and restaurant, introducing
you to the post office and the black
market, and otherwitle setting you up to

be quite comfortable in the city. Later
they expect an outrageously large tip for
their services. Other hustles include the
black market money changing scam and
the "tourist guide" that ends up taking
you to a dark alley and relieving you of
every cent you've got. ,
Belize shouldn't be mistaken for
anything but a poor country. A country
as small as Belize naturally has a limited
amount of natural resources and' must
rely on importing many of its necessities
such as oil, grain, and machinery. But
because it was a colony for so long,
Belize was legally denied acceBB to borrowing much money from foriegn banks.
The result is that today its debt is practically non-existant when compared to
those faced by its Latin American
neighbors. Still, the average laborer on
a citrus .plantation doesn't take home ,
more than a dollar an hour.
I have yet to see any statistics on the
employment rate for the nation, but an
Englishman recently told me,. "Belize

has no unemployment -- only the
unemployable." The attitude many Belizeans have towards work is that it is a
nuisance. This attitude by no means
speaks for the majority of the population. But when the temperature stays at
95° in the sl:tade for weeks at a stretch
many people begin to ask themselves,
"why work in the fields today when the
river is so nice and cool?" Personally, I
can't blame them.
If being on the mainland isn't relaxing enough, you can always take a boat
to one of the hundreds of tiny islands off

you like and what food that doesn't grow
on a tree can easily be caught with a
fishing line or a spear gun.
Belize is fenced in from the deeper
waters of the Caribbean by a coral barrier reef that is the largest in the
Americas, and the second largest in the
world after The Great Barrier Reef off
Australia. If you still haven't seen
paradise on the mainland or on the
islands, get yourself a snorkel and head
out to the reef. The marine life surrounding the coral reef makes it an absolute
underwater Eden. The prismic colors of
