The Evergreen State College
October 27, 1977
Are Varsity Sports In Evergreens
by Karrie Jacobs
Evergreen: It's an Autumn day
sometime in the foreseeable future. A student pauses at the foot
of the clock tower to ask a friend
the time. He doesn't even bother
to look up at the faces on the
concrete tower because he assumes that they are wrong. Some
things never change. Let's listen
to the conversation between two
members of the class of 1981:
"Hey Charlie, y'know what
time it is?"
"Yeah Fred, it's about four
o'clock. What are you up to7"
.. Four o'clock?"
"'Yeah:·
")eel.! I gotta get going. I'm
late for football practice. We got
a big game tomorrow
up at
Western.··
"Oh. yeah] Well. g;ve ·em hell.
Fred."
"Yeah. See you Charlie."
Football at Evergrttn7 "Impossible" you might say, but it's not.
It is improbable, but not impossible. There has been a lot of talk
lately about introducing intercollegiate sports to Evergreen. Oddly enough the idea of competitive teams has been introduced
as the possible solution to a
number of Evergreen's problems.
For ex.ample, in late summer
President Evans presented a number of public relations goals, the
first of which was to "create a
better understanding and a sense
of fierce loyalty in the Olympia/
Thurston County community to
Evergreen" to a task force consistin~ of faculty, staff, students
and community
members.
At
first the idea or competitive sports
was tossed around jokingly, but
then comments along those lines
tc,ok on a more serious note.
Soccer and tennis were mentioned
in particular,
and athletic teams
were labeled by one task force
member as the ··easiest, fastest
way to change some Evergreen
1maKes and encouraie loyally."
At a day long meeting held at
the.>Tyee Motor Inn on Tuesday,
October 18. which was more.>or
less a brainstorming
session on
the.>enrollment problt>m, the posc;1b1hty of intercollegiate sports
was brought up as a way to attract more students. At the Board
of Trustee,; meeting· on October
by Mandy McFarlan
Rental housing is big business for real estate companies, land developers and
investment corporations. Monies collected from renters help to pay for head office
expenses like utilities, salaries, telephones, expense accounts, stock dividends
and investment maintenance. Whatever is leftover is profit. At Campus Housing, we charge
just enough to cover expenses and rental upkeep. The rest pays for the needs of the
renters including heating, water and electricity.
If you're on a limited budget or watch your hard-earned money, maybe Campus
Housing is the right thing for you. Call 866-6132 or stop by the Housing
Office to find out more about living on campus.
Campus Housing. We're not in it for the money.

Evcrgreen's COG III document
was .1dopted by the Board of
Trustees on October 20 The
Board made some changes in
COG Ill, none of which alter the
document's
intent
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh raised thf' only objections
to its passage The most significant change made was the renaming of the Ceoboard to the
Evergreen Counol.
In COG III the Sound;ng Board
1c;replaced by a more powerful
group which is composed of fiflttn students, five faculty, five
classified staff, four exempt staff,
and the President or an appointed
presidential representative.
This
council will consider specific actions and issues which relate to
thf' college, and will publicly
give its opinions. Members of the

MASTER
20 Trustee
Robert Flowers ptoposed that a feasibility study be
conducted on competitive team
sports al Evergreen. No one was
charged with conducting
the
study at the tirr,e of the mttlmg
but Evans sc:tid "We'll do it."
THE MASTER PLAN
There is more than just talk
going on right now on the sub•
1ect of athletics here. A master
plan for a recreation field addition has been drawn up fC11 the
college by the ORB Organization This annex to the existing
field will include a football and
-.occer field, a 400 meter eightlane track, a softball field, a joggin~ trail. and facilities for discus
throwing, pole vaulting and long
jumps The new recreation field,
which would be roughly
the
shape of Africa, would be located
East of the unused section of
Overhulse
Road which runs
along the edge of the currenl
athletic field. The proposed field
PLAN
will cost $464,600 not including
Sdles tax, and without the restrooms. storage building., bleachers and path lighting that was included ;n the ORB plan. The
master plan f0r the Q_Sacrt• rro1ect was presented at the Oct(\ber
20 Trustees' meeting, and 1s currently getting prepared for submission in Ever~reen's
capital
budget request 10 the leg1sl.iture
Virtually the same requt>sl wa!.
made last year. though the current figures are a little c;teeper
dut.' to inflatiun, and was turned
down by the leg1slaturt' It 1s
hoped that the inclusion of a ~
master plan tn the request, -.omething that did not exist last year,
will help the reque'>t get through
Assuming thJt funding 1c;gr,mted
for the project, the college will
,;,tart accepting bid-. tor the 10b
from construction
firms in the
Summer of 1978. and actual work
is c;chcduled to start m the c;econd half of that year
Future ?
Design funds are also being
requested from 1he legislature for
an extension to the Campus Recreation
Center
which would
house a full-sized
basketball
court on the upp<'r level and
areas for martial arts and mat
activities,
with altered lockN
room space. on the lower level.
It should be noted that the
capilal budget which is used for
things like building Communications Buildings, and fixing leaky
Library roofs. 1s entirely different
than the operating budget which
1s used for things like paying empl0yee,;, heating buildings and
prin11ng caldlt\~S. Money requeSled from the legislature for
football tields could not be used
lo run Health Services
CLUB SPORTS
VS. LEAGUE SPORTS
Even without a full-sized basket ba II court with a wooden
floor. or a regulation football
field, and with a soccer field that
1s often ankle deep in water.
Evergrc.>en does have competitive
spl\rlS; w0men's and men's bac;1..etball. women·s and men's -.occer. and c;lowpllch softb.lll 1n the
Spring. but ii 1s on a club level
as t1pposed to a league level. D1rt>cl(\r of Recreation and Campus

ADVISORY ROLE
Because of the establishment
ol the Evergreen Council. and
the voting p0wer COG Ill gives
l0 the Council.
the new document wac; described al the Board
of T rusttts meeting as giving students here more power than students have at the other college,s
and universities in Washington.
Assistant to the President Les
Eldridge explained to the Board
1ha1 the Disappearing Task Force
which wrote
the document
wanted to give students a part in
running the college without encumbering
the administrative
process. He said. "This document
moves c;tudents into an ddv1sory
role closer to that trad1tion.illy
held by !acuity:·
Donna Hayes, a c;tudent who
c;1tswith the trustPec;, then asked,
"We censure, anti then what?
Does this really do anything7"
The document speohes referral
t0 the Council's dens1ons during
admin1strat1ve evaluation,;
Eldridge compared the Counnl to a
legislator',;, constituents
who-.e
wishes aren I always earned out
but whose influence 1s c;trong. He
fell that the Council's public disagreement could not be easily ignored by decision-makers.
No
one knows yet how much power
the Council will have, if any.
President Evans said that if the
Council's actions are viewed as
being thorough, its d«isions will
be of great import, but if the
community views its actions as
fr1v()lou, or inconsistent, then 11
wouldn t be t<1ken seriously FMulty member Geor~e D1m1troff

that he tears that administrators

Evergreen is not isolated from
the dangers of the real world.
Thursday night, October 13th. a
car containing several College
employees was struck at the "T"
intersection of CN and C roads,
east of the Mods. Witnesses report that the victim's car was
struck with enough force to "send
the car spinning like a top two
or three times." The car that
caused the damage, reportedly
lost its brakes and wenl through
the stop sign on CN road, colliding with the employees' car.

Greetings to all my brothers and
sisters
In late June, I was assigned a
cell in the United States Penitentiary at Marion. Illinois. I've had
a chance to look around for a
month or so, and I would like to
share some of my experiences
with you.

The Contn,I Unit ha~ about
c,eventy sealed-tomb tiger cages,

(l(l<;~d ,;tee! fronts so that they

These
are sensory deprivation chambers. and they are used to cage
human mammal organisms for
very long periods of time. Broth:
ers are sent to these cages from
all over the federal system for
experirnt>nts in brain tampering.
Hiller Hayes has been on deadlock in the Control Unit for fiveand-a-half years.
The most sadistic thing about
this type of solitary confinement
1s that you are in the cage twenty-three-and-a-half
hours of every day. ALONE. Men go mad.
Some commit suicide. Others
only mutilate themselves.
The prisoners in the Control
Unit have filed a lawsuit in federal court to see if the judge will
think these terms of confinement
are unconstitutional.
A decision
is due most any day now. We
hope to see the court close that
draconia fort>ver and return our
brothers to us.
Jails are not nice places lo ht-,
and we must remember
that
thousands of our people are in

poli<"ies of the l1 S We should
support our brothers and sisters
in prisons and jails all over the
U. S and Canada. All Native
People are political prisoners
whether they know it or not
They all desnve our support
The U.S. thinks they can stop
our movement by locking us in a

For one thing our enrollment
isn't what it ought to be and the
state might ask us for some
money back if things don't shape
up. So what's wrong with us,
why aren't we flooded with applicants? Could it be our academic programs, the way our
students look, the difficulties that
many people have tracking down
their faculty members for signatures on green cards so that they
can register? Could our recruitment tactics be ineffective. our
catalog unattractive, our procedures inefficient, or our curriculum boring? Maybe Health Services isn't what it should be. Maybe counseling isn't so hot either.
Maybe we ne-ed some competitive
sports around here.
Sports?
Did someone
say
sports? Say, when I was in college I used to play basketball and
it was swell. I bet I'd even go to
Evergreen today if they had a
team. Let's do a study on the
feasibility of sports on this campus. It would be an easy study
to do, and fun besides. I don't
want lo spend time worrying
about that curriculum stuff, or
admissions procedures crap anyway. This is an easy answer.
Look at it this way, if we have
,;;ome good teams Olympia will
like us, and maybe they'll even
come out and root for us. We'll
attract some nice kids here. Hell,
why do you think anyone goes
to the University. It's sports.
Look we'll ask the legislature
for some bucks to set up a big
field, and then maybe WE can get
a stadium, but we should probably wait a few years on that
one. I think a domed stadium
would be nice. Have you ever
been to theKingdome7 It's lovely.
Look, I know that you might
think this is a little far fetched,
but having a team, say a football

up for the school bus every
morning around 8 a.m. by the
Mods.
As for the accident Thursday,
we can be thankful at least that
no one was killed. We certainly
sympathize with the injured custodial employee who was rushed
to the hospital.
Along with being a good driver
you can help Security by reporting any dangerous driving violations. We need the license number of the vehicle, and a good
description of the driver for future identification. Call Sf'cunly
at X6140.
Please. use all possible care
and be responsible when driving.

I had gone into

su~pect this was 1ust an isolated
case - nobody took my hand
and led me to what I wanted,
bu1 anyway I never went back.
Las1 week I took the assignnitnl ...,fdoing the annual SPLU

down there and met Dave DeFeyter, one ot the lab assistants.
He was soldering a susp1ciouslookmg mass of something-orother that he called a mini-computer. He gave me a tour, showing me around

spectrophotometers.

The idea is, to use any of those

by "Find-It." Find-It is a computer, or at least a part of the

computer. To ask Find-It something, I first had to ask Dave to
wake it up. Find-It then announced a few unintelligible
things via an odd-looking typewriter, and said (a bit prematurely) "FOUND." After that·it
gave a little blurb welcoming me
to the program.
Although a welcome seemed a
little inappropriate, I comforted
myself with the thought that at
least I wasn't unwelcome. It then
infomied me that there were 832
SPLUs currently listed - "Type
'ENO' to stop. Type 'HELP' for
instructions," it clacked.
Then Find-It clacked out 20
categories and said "Select one
discipline!"
I obliged, typing

"No more detailed information

"HUMANITIES HELP! HELP!"
Find-It then rattled off 12 disciplines available, including two
on Melville. ··Select discipline!" I
tried another of my all-time favorites - "SOCIAL SCIENCE
HELP!"
I continued this process for
some time until I was satisfied
that thev did indeed have quite a
number of SPLUs on hand. What
really interested me though was
that machine, Find-It. I came
home feeling quite proud of myself, having never operated a
computer before. Now. I still
haven't taken a SPLU. but one
of these days I'm going to get
past the computer catalog program, and then there'll be no
stopping me .
The Strike Policy Advisory
Group, appointed by the Board
of Trustees and President Evans
to examine the recently-adopted
Strike Policy (Board Resolution
77-3), and to recommend alternatives. will bring a discussion
draft to the College community
at a forum on November 7, at
12:00 noon, in Lecture Hall three.
Copies will be mailed to faculty
and staff late next week and
should also be available Wednesday, November 2 at the Information Center.
The Draft Document summarizes the history of higher education collective bargaining and
strikes. reviews applicable or potential law, Evergreen's unioniza-
tion status and history, and the
actions by the Governor's Office
and Evergreen in the face of the
1975 and '77 strikes, the special
nature of sympathy strikes, outlines various policy of approaches
and discusses strike resolution
and aversion methods.
The Strike Policy Advisory
Group encourages members ot
the Evergreen community to read
its discussion draft and to comment on it by Wednesday, November 9, in order that the group
may present its final draft to
President Evans in time for him
to bring them before the Board
of Trustees December 8. Send
comments to Les Eldridge - l.

National Search For Dean
Candidates Underway
TESC Vice President and Provost Edward Kormondy is currently conducting
a national
search for candidates to compete
for the position of Academic
Dean, which will be vacated
with the expiration of Dean Willie
Parson's term during the summer
of 1978.
In a memo addressed to members of the Evergreen community, Kormondy has outlined the
interests to be considered in filling the post and detailed the procedures by which the selection
process will be carried out.
According to the memo. there
has recently been a " . .legiti·
mately based and strongly expressed concern that at least one
woman be represented on the
dean's team." In addition to this
consideration, Komiondy states
his belief that "the demands 0£
the deanship, and particularly of
the two senior positions, in turn
demand the strongest possible
people." He is conducting the national search so that Evergreen
will be assured of "a strong group
of women and Third World candidates in the (applicant) pool."
The active recruitment of candidates, however, does not preclude consideration of applicants
already associated with Evergreen. As stated in the memo.
..their (·internal candidates') applications are encouraged."

methods. Advertisements will be
placed in a number of periodicals, including the Affirmative
Action Register and the Bulletin
of the National Association for
Women Deans. Administrators
and Counselors. Presidents and
Academic Vice Pre:sidents of
Washington's public and private
colleges and universities will be
advised of the vacancy by letter,
as will administrators at other
innovative colleges.
ln addition, Kormondy's memo
requests that members of the
Evergreen community facilitate
the search for strong applicants
by encouraging colleagues here
and elsewhere to apply and by
transmitting
to his office the
names of persons, agencies, and
groups which might respond to
notice of the position.
A consultative group consisting of six to eight faculty members, students, and staff personnel will be formed lo assist in
the screening of applicants. During the month of December this
group, along with Kormondy,
will select four or five candidates
to be interviewed for the position. Public and private interviews of these finalists art> scheduled for January 2 - 15, and a
final decision will be announced

Callan attended the Trustees·

on what the Council is and lo
assure Board members that the
study's outcome is not predetermined, and that the C.P.E. will
carry out an objective study.
The Council has not yet finished the research or design of
the study which they have a year
and a half to complete. Callan
says that the study can be valuable to both the slate and the

I began to feel slightly
irrrehens1ve
when I noticed
~CoJonyGfnn
~
Paramount was including "No
~ine will be .:idm1tted during the
last 20 minutes!" m their recent
ads for the film Largely a meaningless b,t of advt>rtising mumbo
)umbo 1t usu,1lly implies the
movie mdker'i are going to give
tht' auJ1ence exactly what they
think II wants: a terrifying violent ending.
Instead of opening the film
with Cary Cooper White's murder confession, as in the novel,
Brooks prefers a more chronological development in the story
line which allows him to build
suspense, loading the story with
visual and narrative premonitions
of terror and death. At first, we
sttm to be viewing the exploits
of a young woman with a rather
healthy sexual appetite. But it
isn't long before it's apparent that
most of her affairs are being conducted with neurotic men. One
comments, 'I can't stand the sight

I think Brooks assumes the
dUd1ence knows a murder is going to be committed but is not
",Uft'
by whom. So both James

violent scenes m Theresa's bedroom Jamee; smashes an erollc

calling her a "cunt," Tony picks
her apartment lock but is stopped
by a second chain lock. Unable
to encourage her to let him in,
he leaves, spitting out, "You're
dead, bitch!"
In the novel. Tony and James
served as polar opposites. Tony
was the quintessential
Italian
stret>I punk lover who was hot in
bed but not particularly interesting to have around afterwards.
James· Irish Catholic background
made him a devoted and disarmingly honest friend but There-sa
found him a sexual anesthetic.
The fault of the movie is that
Richard Brooks sacrifices any
complexities these men might
have had and makes them little
more than the poorly developed
characters one might see on a
television police drama.
On the eve of Theresa Dunn's
death, Brooks tips off the audience that a bloody climax is impending. Often subtle, if slightly
hackneyed, the foreboding messages include a "mad mugger"
breaking into Theresa's apartment and slitting her throat with
a rubber knife. He is her sister's
date at a New Year's Eve costume ball. later, while Theresa
1s in the shower, Tony tries to
break a flimsy chain lock with a
large hunting knife to enter the
bathroom a la Psycho. Outside a
gay bar, an ominous black hearse
creeps to a halt amongst a street
party and explodes with club
swinging vigilantes. The addition
of a strobe light and a grisly little drawing of Theresa screaming, on the apartment's wall.
make lhe final murder scene seem
cheap and sensationalistic. For
one horrible moment of confusion, we are led to believe he is
raping Theresa with a kitchen
knife picked up off the floor.
Strangely
enough,
Brooks'
carefully prepared buildup serves
to dampen much of the impact
he no doubt wanted the audience
to feel, as the heroine of the film
is slaughtered before our eyes.
Wouldn't it have been more disturbing and realistic to have the
murderer appear in Theresa's life
by complete chance, as in life.
As in the book.
Although having an act of violence occur after a series of foreshadowings and events is a standard dramatic
device, here it
leaves the viewer with the nasty
implication that Theresa Dunn
deserved what she got because
she had an active, if somewhat
emotionally detached, sex life
and had the unfortunate audacity
to ask a man to leave her apartment after he failed to get an
erection.
Diane Keaton comes through
surprisingly well in her portrayal
of Theresa Dunn. It is a demanding role for her to play and she
is on screen during almost the
entire film. Her character lacks
the sarcastic bite of the Theresa
in the novel, but Keaton is masterful in projecting the inner
world of loveless sexual abandon
Theresa begins to thrive in. There
is no doubt this part was a big
break, her first leading role in a
non-Woody Allen film. But she
has a lot to contend with. most
notably, Richard Brooks' crude
screenplay containing a series of
choppy, ill-conceived scenes. The
other actors aren't much help.
The role of Katherine, Theresa's
"perfect older sister," is marred
by an hysterical performance by
Tuesday Weld. And Richard
Kiley barely manages to make
Theresa's bigoted Irish Catholic
father seem anything more than
a screenwriter's sterwt

The high sexual content of the
book was probably the most difficult aspect to render honestly
on the screen. I could have done
without hearing Theresa moan
the obligatory, "Oh God! Oh,
God I Oh, God . . , " while losing her virginity to a city college
professor. But all in all, Brooks
and Keaton manage to convey an
impressive amount of humor and
sensuality in the sexual scenes
an important accomplishment in
itself. The one ludicrous lapse
being a part where Keaton's Italian lover gets up to dance around
the bedroom immediately after
intercourse and we discover he 1s
wearing a 1ock strap to hide hie;
you-know-what.
A small point,
but it tends to undermine the
film's otherwise honest portrayal
of sexuality
I was interested to read m Andrew Sarris' assessment of the
film the following observation:
"People who worry about what
a book or a movie means, or
what the moral is, or even, God
help us. what the message is, will
be even more baffled by the
movie than by the book.'' He
goes on
"The plot of Looking For Mr. Goodbar can be
charged with communicating to
us nothing more profound than
the moral that the wages of sex
are death. But at least Richard
Brooks and Diane Keaton have
garnished the sermon with some
real sex .
The trouble with "this sermon"
is that it also includes a rather
unpleasant murder/ rape along
with the tacit message that Theresa Dunn (somehow) brought it
all upon herself and got what she
deserved for being such a bitch. I
doubt that is what Judith Rossner
intended to convey in her novel.
The failure of the film is probably best illustrated by a scene
just before Theresa picks up Cary
Cooper White, her murderer. She
confides to the bartender that
this is the last time she is going
to hang out at Mr. Goodbar's,
implying a change in her perspective. Unfortunately, neither
the film-maker nor the actress is
able to offer any previous explanation or motivation for this
decision. Thus. what provided to
be an important irony in the
book. is only a statement in passing in the movie. What we are
left with is "a crude simplistic
tabloid murder story that not
even Diane Keaton or "some real
sex" can save. After sitting
through a violent murCer/rape,
I think the audience deserves a
considerably
more intelligent·
message than "The wages of sin
are death."
