Women's Center In

'Women's Center / Lesbian
Caucus." This is wh.t you're
likely to hear if you call the
Everg.rttn State College Women's

Center. And at least through the
spring of 1978, the newly formed
Lesbian Caucus will receive fifty
percent of the Women's Center
funds. The decision to allocate
this funding was reachedthrough
a group consensus at a Women's
Center meeting on Wednesday,
February 8.
According lo Chelle Roberts,
Coordinator
of the Women's
Center, 'We decided to share an
office al last Wednesday'smm•

front our feelings on homophobia and heterophobia.
that we
are all women and we do work
for a general common cause a~

The decision to form an
autonomous
Lesbian
Caucus
stemmed from a November 1977
meeting where 13 Lesbian-femlnists met and concuned that their
needs as political Lesbians were
not being met by the Women's
Center.
Although
their number ii

Student
Deli
Thwarted
by Mandy McFarlan
Although 618 students have
signed a petition indicating dissatisfaction with the food and
prices at the Saga-run Delicates-son, college administrators have
informally decided apimt opening up the small on-campus store
for bids from other organizations.
It looks as if students who
want to end Saga's campus food
monopoly
have fai~ed. One
student stated opposition to Saga
clearly when he said, "Saga's
purpose is to make profits; we
want an organit.atlon to meet
student needs"
The current contract between
Evergreen and Saga Food Servia
ends on July 1, 1978. If the
college were to open up bidding
to different food service organizations now, there might not be
enough time to choose and contract the organization(s) for next
fall.
A student group called 'The
Evergreen Food Concerns Committee" which wants an alternative to Saga, has suggested that a
food cooperative be allowed to
run the Delicatesson
on the
5<eond floor of the CAB. In the
current contract, Saga is "the
only authorized
food service
vendor on campus". Most complaints about the Deli as run by

Proposal

Saga now concern overpnc1ng
and a limited food selection.
The members of the college
administration who are in charge
of campus food services feel
strongly that the most financially
sound decision is to renew the
Saga contract with changes to
improve the se.rvice. According o
Ken Jacob, the Director of
Housing, whose responsibilities
include negotiating with food
services, Saga has made (verbally) a financially attractive
proposal to the college. This
contract would renew Saga's
cafeteria rights for two years,
and their Deli rights for one
year. Under the new contract,
the Deli should become more
responsive to student needs.
Although the administrators
involved had alreiidy decided
informally against an alternative
food service, an open meeting
was called by Administrative
Vice President Dean Clabaugh
for February 13 to discuss the
future of food services
at
Evergreen, Ken Jacob said that
Clabaugh had been called off
campus and couldn't attend the
meeting, and then Jacob outlined
the position in support of a
renewal contract with Saga.
Jacob began, "In D.cember,
Paul Fink (a stu~t)
asked if the
college would be tt<.-.ptlve to the

Deli being run by some alternatives; perhaps a student co-op,
the downtown Olympia c(H)p or
the Seattle C(H)p... We were
already in negotiations with Saga
. on the next contract but it was
still feasible. The major concern
was finances." Jacob continued
by explaining that at present.
Evergreen'& food service arrangment is not self.supporting financially, that the costs Saga isn't
covering are being borne by a
depleted (from budget cuts) col•
loge food servia, budset. This
money otherwise would have
gone towards depreciation
of
college--owned equipment.
Paul Finl< was informed that
February 6 was the deadline for
an alternative proposal. While

by Mike J. McHugh
, , Over 300 Evergreen veterans received welcome news concerning
their G.I. Bill benefits last Thursday. Forty-three of those veterans
had yet to be paid their benefits for Winter Quarter.
They will receive those checks soon. Judge Walter T. McGovern
of the U.S. District Court in Olympia ruled on February 10 that
for the time being, the Veteran's Administration must "pay
full.time benefits to all eligible veterans at Evergreen classified as
full-time resident students." The ruling also enjoined the VA to
"accept the certification of regularly enrolJed veterans" regardless
of resident status. Those 43 students will now receive all benefits
due them, retroactive to the beginning of Winter Quarter.
Remaining veteran students will continue to receive their monthly
checks intact. The dispute between Evergreen and the VA has
centered on the controversial "12 hour rule" imposed by the VA
to determine the full.time status of a veteran enrolled in college.
The Veteran's Administration used this ruJe, termed "outmoded"
by Evergrttn Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh, to
determine that Evergreen's non-traditional courses fell into the
independent study category. VA regulations state that a student
must have a minimum 12 hours teacher-student classroom contact
per week to receive full benefits. Current students most likely to
be affected were those with individual and group contracts. The
43 veterans denied benefits for the most part had entered
Evergreen Winter Quarter; they would not have been paid
previous to the injunction until Evergreen had completed a
student-by➔tudent re-certification.
The injunction was originally sought on behalf of Evergreen and
Spokane Falls Community College by the State Attorney General's
office. Spokane Falls, however, dropped out of the case on
Janu ..ry 31. Assistant Attorney General Richard Montecucco
charged that the VA's action amounted to ··dictating curriculum."
The VA, represented by U.S. Attorney Carroll Gray, answered in
a Seattle Post-Intelligencer interview, "I don't really want to say
the VA is trying to do that. The question is whether VA has the
fisht to impose standards."
Veterans also received help from Washington's Congressional
delegation. Senators Henry Jackson and Warren Magnuson, along
with Representative Don Bonker, D-Wash .. sent a letter to Max
Cleland, head of the VA expressing pointed concerns over rules
applying to schools like Evergreen and asking him to at least
delay a decision on the culbacks until t-he end of the term.
Bonker, Magnuson, Representatives
Norm Dicks and Joel
Pritchard met with Cleland who committed himself to looking
into the situation. Evergreen President Dan Evans also travelt"d to
Washington D.C. to speak with Cleland and a subcommittee on
Veteran's Affairs. Steve Richter of Veter~n·s Affairs Office at
Evergrttn described the last two months as "... a real hassle.
Every two weeks a different veteran·s director gave a different
opinion. We had to keep back information until a solid decision
was made."
The auurance of regular payment i~ temporary. Temporary in
this case however is estimated at one-to-three years by college and
Veterans Affairs spokesmen. A hearing in the U.S. District Court
within the next few months is expected to carry over to the 9th
Circuit Court of Appeals in that one to three year period.
Students are cautioned to not to take this as a final decision.
Richter advises those students seeking a contract to include some
provision for weekly meetings with their contract sponsor - a
minimum one hour per week. This will insure compliance with
existing VA regulations and therefore continuity of benefit
payments pending a final decision.
All efforts on behalf of Evergreen veterans met with unanimous
approval. At the close of Thursday's meeting this student·s
observation on those efforts was served with applause: ··1 want to
thank you for what you have done. I rully appreciate the work
all of you have done."

Pockaged snow in the CAB 0.11.
proposals were being drawn up.
Jacob learned
that Western
Washington State College, in
opening up their food service to
trade, took ten months to find
that Saga offered the widest
variety of foods at the lowest
cost. Irle then decided that he
was against opening up the
bidding process for general food
service.
Jacob doesn't like the student
proposal to open bids on the
Deli because he feels the college
··could come up worse financially". Evergreen's business manager, Ken Winkley, mentioned
that the college has tried many
other co-op arrangements which
all failed at the expense of the
college. Jacob added that the

students who want an alternative
had not expressed complaints
about the Deli to Saga and now
that those concerns have been
raised, he feels that Saga should
be given the opportunity
to
correct the situation.
Two surveys have been taken
on the present food service
arrangement, one by Saga and
the other by the student committee. Another is being done by
a student who is under contract
with the college. The food
service contract which Clabaugh.
Winkley and Jacob are supporting will use the surveys, especially the portions concerning the
Deli, which isn't making a profit
now, to increase
sales by
offering what students want at
lower prices. The Deli would btevaluated after Saga's one-year
period, according to Jacob
The renewal contract would
requirr Saga to rebate seven-anda half 'percent
of the gross
income from the first year. and
nine and a half percent the
second year to the College. This
would make food service ~Ifsupporting (assuming that enrollment continues to increase) to
mid-1980. During the two-year
contract period, Saga would
assume responsibility
for any
losses (or profits). Saga would
also be allowed to increase prices
to offset inflation. In both the
current, and the proposed conContinued on page 4

Womynspaces
To the Editor:
In the February 2nd issue of
th, CPJ, I was a bit perturbed
when upon turning to the events
sec1ion of the paper, I read, "Fri.
17, Gila, women-preferred event,
them's the breaks, men." Firstly,
the information was incorrect in
that it should have read: Sally
Piano/Gila
concert,
and the
statement concerning men was
an editorial insert, not something
stated by anyone producing the
concert. (Myself.) It is this atti·
tude which creates friction bet ween women and men for
women-preferred
concerts and
those who are uninformed about
the necessity
and intent of
womynspaces.
A womyn-preferred
concert
should be viewed as a positive
event where womyn can give
and receive strength from each
other, as in this culture based on
patriarchal values/goals, run by
male-oriented systems, a womynspace is vital.
In the poetry reading given by
Olga Broumas in January, she
spoke of a conversation with a

who said, "You
mean your knees shake too7"
Womyn have not been allowed
the space in society in which
they can share similar emotions,
love, and mutual appreciation
for each other. There are very
few places they can go without
constant impingement of male
values and perceptions.
Sally Piano sent an important
statement along with her promotional material which reads: "To
the Womyn of the Audience:
The music I perform is written
from a lesbian feminist perspective and is written for womynspeaking to our oppression as
womyn,
our pain, struggles
together, and our strength and
potential. Because I make both
myself and all womyn very vulnerable through the puformance
of this music, I feel the presence
of men at this concert is inappropriate. Because I feel that
creating womyn-only space is a
rare and vital part of our growth
as womyn, I believe I have a
responsibility to try and provide
that space whenever possible. I
also feel that those men truly
sensitive
to womyn's
issues
would respect this and support
womyn by not intruding on our
space.
To the Men in the Audience:
That you came to this concert at
all would indicate that you are

.I

...,

aware of womyn's issues and
that you try to be sensitive to
womyn's needs and demands. I
hope that you can also be supportive of womyn's needs to
gather together amongst ourselves. By not attending
this
concert you will communicate
your support and understanding
-and this is much appreciated."
By reproducing
these statements, I hope to have clarified
the intent of the event to halt the
misconstruing of womyn-preferred concerts. Further infonnation
on the importance of womynspace for womyn's growth can
b• found in Judy Chicago's
book, Through th• flower,
which speaks to a womyn's perspective in imagery.
This is a serious issue in which
our freedom and mobility as
womyn is intertwined. Separate
spaces for womyn are needed
and these should be recognized
and respected.

The Womyn's
Center
To the Editor:

I am r6ponding to last week's
letter "Power 10 the People." I
am speaking as a woman dM.icaled to feminist social change. I
do not think the cap~ion "This is
a woman preferred event, Them's
the breaks men" is reflective of
feminists. It suggests separatism,
and most womyn are not separatists. For a long time the
politics of the TESC Womyn's
Center has been dominated by
those most active there, namely
lesbian feminists. These womyn
are primarily concerned with
their own political approach and
ideals. I think this is fine, but it
does not represent my politics as
a heterosexual feminist. There is
currently
a move within the
Womyn's Center to identify the
needs of all womyn and to
define the function
of the
womyn's center. A lot depends
upon the womyn that are willing
to put time and energy into
making the Womyn's Center
what they want it to be. The
reason the Womyn's
Center
reflects l6bian politics is because
lesbians have been putting more
energy into the womyn's center.
Maybe we don't agree with some
of the ideas, but it's not going to
show in the Womyn's Center
until the energy is there, in
masse. On Wed., Feb. 8, th•
Womyn's Center had its regular-

ly scheduled business meeting.
Usually these ineetings are attended by approximately twelve
womyn, mostly lesbian. This
time there were some forty-five .
womyn there. If you are interested, and you want to see the
Womyn's Center change, now's
the time. Check it out. It is
happening.
Liberation

Esquivel The
Alternative
Educator
To the Editor,
At Evergreen
there is a
groping for the elusive "alternative" education,
Within
the
cheerful cement halls, each time
the metal water fountain shocks
you, you know you haven't
found it yet.
Of the many programs and
contracts I participated
in at
Evergreen I found only two
"alternative" educators among
the piled- high and deeps, one
was Cruz Esquivel; both exhibited an open-mindedness, sharp
perceptions and personal wannth
as well as an academic standard
that stressed thf' continual seeking for wisdom through knowledge.
I first worked with Cruz on
the Squashblossom program in
the summer of '75 where the
learning technique was the experience; definitely a departure
from the traditional "memorize
the text - accept the known
theories as the truth and nothing
but - spell it right on the test"
mode. Instead new neural pathways were opened via the
experiential level, also a timehonored method, of discerning
the relative truth of specific
knowledge (Plato, Descarte, and
Huxley). Scientifically speaking,
this is the participant-observer
methodology.
We read, discoursed, seminar•
ed, cooked, weeded, shared and
learned that summer. His classroom was the experience of the
moment accompanied
by a
volume of textured philosophy;
Zen, the "real" world, and pantheistic catholicism. If you wanted to study the thought of th•
East he presented you with the
duality; if you wanted the West,
it was Kirkegaard. In his perceptiv~ manner he said what you
wanted to hear and let you deal
with the consequences. If you

wanted guruji to tell you how it
all is because you didn't want to
figure it out for yourself, he
would do that too. If it was
spiritualism
you sought the
medicine man/priest
in him
would speak to your soul (in any
of the seven languages he is con•
versant in). •
The undertone surrounding his
resignation implies his credentials
were somewhat less than worthy.
Before you judge take a look at
the 3.5-4 .0 gpa transcripts of a
total of 12 years of college experience (Califomi.1 Institute of
Music and Arts, Saint Patrick's
Seminary,
University
of San
Francisco, etc.) in music, Ian•
guages, and philosophy among
other things. Oh, I forgot to
mention St. Francis, another
Jesuit seminary. The Jesuits, for
the unsaved non-catholics among
you, are Rome's elite corps.
They are the most letlered,
learned priests around whose
academic regimen has no equal.
As for official
BA's and
MA's ... 'There is a measure to
all things. Modesty is shown by
the degree of interest one shows
in his work. To hide behind the
letter of the law is to decline
one's responsibility.
This is
surely ignoble." I Ching.
Also refer to his Ph.D. dissertation (Union Graduate School
West). It is a v1s1on that
addresses the Native American
alcoholic anguish. There you will
find the compassion that is the
man's soul, the same compassion
that fed the inmates of Thurston
County Jail and piloted the exoffender program among many
other community-oriented
endeavors.
last, look at the number of
contracts Cruz wrote with students. Would one who had
nothing of value to teach have
had so many eager students?
Think about that.

Recycle Your

To the Editor:
The recycling program in the
dorms and the mods at Evergreen
is doing very well this ye.tr. One
of the main reasons it's success--

A TREMENDOUS THANK
YOU to all of you-on behalf of

ful is that five recycling workstudy positions were created by
housing. Towards the end of Fall
Quarter
we approached
Ken
Jacob (!he Director of Housing)
about the possibility of' creating
a pennanent recycling program.
He thought the idea was worthwhile, and was willing to give it
a try. He warned us though that
if it didn't work this year he was
going to can the recycling program, as there had been too
many problems over the past
few years with the previous
projects.
Of the problems that plagued
the previous four years of recycling at Evergreen, the worst was
the lack of really committed
volunteer workers. Recycling
requires a lot 0£ work (collecting, crushing, sorting, transporting, etc.) and a steady work
force (like we have now with our
work-study workers).
Another major problem of
previous years that we exper·
ienced this year is that at the end
of each school year the recycling
projects have folded, leaving a
new group of students to set up
a new project from scratch in the
fall. Now however, it looks like
the work-study positions will be
carried over through the summer
and inlo the following year, thus
creating a permanent recycling
program at Evergreen.
Already
the program
has
shown that it can work; during
fall quarter it ran better than
ever, and made $75.00 (which
will go to various local and
national environmental
groups
and possibly to environmentally
oriented student projects). Of
course it couldn'I have worked
out so well without the help of a
lot of people. For that reason
we'd like to thank everyone who
helped us get off the ground,
especially Ken Jacob and Bob
Carlson of Housing, the talks at
Grounds, and the students who
volunteered at the beginning of
the year. We would also like to
thank everyone who has cared
enough to recycle their trash.
A big part of recycling is
caring. Caring enough to want
to do something about the fact
that this country spews out 200
million Ions of solid waste a year
at a taxpayers' expense of 6 billion dollars. Obviously the recycling that goes on at Evergreen
is not going to end the problem,
but it will help start a "recycling
ethic" and set a good example.
This nation is based on a throwaway concept, and needs to be
changed.
We need to start
developing within ourselves the
care that is needed to make
recycling
in this country
a
reality.

Extend Contract
Deadline

" To the Edit ore
l want to commend
Bill
Aldridge for expressing his views
about individual contracts, and
wish to give my own feelings on
the matter. I have never had an
individual contract before, but I
am considering
one for the
spring quarter. When the deans
announced the change in procedure regarding contract,s I felt
as though they were doing more
than just making it easier on
themselves by narrowing
the
time space in which they would
accept contracts from students,
I also had the strong
im
pression that they were making a concerted ettort to undermine certain principles which I
take for granted here.
First, I believed that the
former time limit for contracts
was just adequate, if not brief.
The reason that I came to
Evergreen was because I believed
the school to be somewhat more
innovative and intelligent with
regard to how a student's
education
was planned
and
implemented. I believed that this
was a place where I'd be able to
design my own learning situation, so long as it 1..ept within
the rather wide parameters of
valuable educational experience.
Or so I thought. It seems to me
that all too often the deans are
not concerned with those criteria, but are more interested Ln
keeping the learning situations,
both individual contracts and
other modes, within tight, and
increasingly conservative standards. I feel that in some way,
the newly imposed procedure for
contracts does little to improve
upon this situation, and, sadly,
will only cause further deteriora•
tion to an already troubled state
of affairs.
With the time limit so short, I
think it would be extremely
difficult to design a learning
contract that would be fully
satisfying, and nearly impossible
to solicit all the support usually
required for such a venture.
Under such conditions, I doubt
very seriously whether manv
contracts will hold much value,
for the student or the institution.
In fact, one doesn't have to look
very hard to see how such
limiting administrative practices
are hurting the school. particularly enrollment. I've met many
who are very disappointed with
how Evergreen is turning out,
and plan to go elsewhere.

involved, and because any detailed discussion of them would
have increased the lilr.elihood of
their becoming realities. The
facts relevant to Esquivel's resignation constituted the important
news in this story; not what
could, in a legal sense, happen to
either Esquivel or Evergreen.

On Thursday, February 9, a
special meeting of the Publications Board was held to discuss
the subject of "journalistic responsibility" with regard to the
article on Esquivel's resignation.
Faculty Member Dave Hitchens
(not a Pub Board member) who
was present at the meeting said
he'd requested
it be called
because a number
of other
faculty members had expressed
concern to him over the Esquivel
article.
Both CPJ Managing
Editor Mandy McFarlan (a Pub
Board member) and I were
notified of the meeting, but
Parkes and CPJ Faculty Adviser
Sandra Simon received no official notification. Alt.hough initiated by a non-member, this
Pub Board meeting was never•
theless a portion of Evergreen's
official response to the Esquivel
story. All meetings of the Pub
Board must be called by either
the chairperson or two voting
members; in this case, Hitchens
asked Faculty and Pub Board
Member Paul Marsh to call one,
and Marsh. with the cooperation
of
Chairperson
Gretchen
Sorensen,
had it scheduled.
Marsh was acting in the capacity
of a college official when he
called the meeting, as the Pub
Board is responsible
to the
President and ultimately
the
Board of Trustees
as CPJ
Publisher.

Hitchens and Marsh arranged
this Pub Board meeting, then,
not to permit a discussion of
what the Esquivel article contained, but to discuss with the
CPJ staff the potential effects of
the story (how they made the
decision to publish it irresponsible). This suggests that in order
to act responsibly the CPJ staff
must evaluate all articles on the
basis of their potential effects on
the college: become, for all
practical purposes, an extenlion
of Evergreen's public relations
apparatus.

on Cruz

1'-"ue During the course of her
rese.irch several members of
Evergreen's administration
at•
t,~mpted to dissuade her from
J1sclosmg the circumstances sur·
rnundmg Esquivel's resignation.
Thev argued that publishing this
1ntormation would not be in the
best mtereSt of either Esquivel or
Evergreen. and that it carried
potentially serious legal implica·
t1ons. We ran the story anyway,
because we were satisfied that it
was sufficiently documented, and
because we judged its content to
be important to the Evergreen
community. We reasoned that
significant action had been taken
against a member of the com•
munity. and that therefore the
situation warranted public dis-closure, .as all community mem•
bers are ultimately subject to the
same principles of official scru•
trny and process. Although we
\,·ere reluctant to print material
\,·h!Ch might damage Esquivel
and 0r Evergreen, we reasoned
that 1t was not our job to protect
any individual or organization
t rnm the consequences of past
conduct: our responsibility is to
report news
The Statement of Policies of
the Board of Publications, the
group empowered as Publisher
c·.f the CPJ. supports
this
interpretation of the paper's role.
As stated in this document.

and the BASIC STATEMENT

further st.ates:

No one present at the Feb.
ruary 9 meeting had any dispute
with the factual accuracy of
Parkes' article. Hitchens, who
most vocally criticized its appearance in the CPJ, asserted
that the decision to print it had
been irresponsible
because of
"the legalities involved."
He
accused the CPJ staff of granting
insufficient consideration to legal
aspects of the matter on the basis
of Parkes' failure to include a
discussion of these aspects in the
article, and also objected to the
story's overall "tonality."
We were well aware when we
decided to print the Esquivel
article that it carri~ substantial
legal implications: for this reason we'd gone to considerable
lengths to document beyond the
point of any doubt everything
the story asserted. Parkes chose
in writing the article not to dwell
on the legal aspects and I, as
editor, saw nothing wrong with
that because the legal implica•
lions are not central to the issue

The tone of Parkes' article is
an accurate reflection of the
atmosphere and circumstances
that surrounded its preparation.
The article is factual, and the
tone is a product of the facts it
contains.

I disagree strongly with this
interpretation of journalistic responsibility. In my opinion, it
was the CPJ staff's responsibility
to report on the cirrumstances
surrounding Esquivel's resignation once we became aware of
them. I further feel that the
February 9 Publications Board
meeting was called in violation
of the spirit, if not the letter of
the Board's Statement of Policies,
specifically item b. of the Code
of Ethics, "The press must be
free from all forms of external
interference designed to regulate
its content." Furthermore,
we
violated
no public laws in
publishing the article, and item
c. of the Code of Ethics states,
"Freedom of the pr6S must not
be abridged by confiscation of
issues or facilities, or suspension
of publications,
except where
there is a clear danger that
publications will violate a public
law ... "
These policies clearly define
the CPJ's role in the community
as that of a newspaper and not
of a public relations bulletin, and
I intend 10 continue running it as
a newspaper. I have no intention
to purposely dig for news that
might make Evergreen look bad,
but if such news becomes
apparent
to me and rates
disclosure on the basis of its
news value, as did the Esquivel
matter,
I will authorize
its
publication. I will continue in
such cases, as I did in this one,
to seek the approval of CPJ
Faculty Adviser Simon, pursuant
with the Board of Publications
Statement of Policies, and I hope
that in the future community
members will recognize the CPJ's
intended role, as described in the
Pub Board Statement of Policies.

The Evergreen Food Concerns
Committee's "ProposaJ for the
Campus Food Store" outlines a
non•profit campus grocery service which would carry "A
BALANCE OF
GROCERY
FOODS AND SNACK FOODS".
The proposal states further, 'The
variety of packaged snack foods
will be somewhat narrowed as
the vending machines on campus
make such foods available. And
so a stronger emphasis will be
placed on fruits, vegetables,
nuts, dried fruit and freh whole
grain baked goods for "quick
lunch" purchases.
Some bulk
foods will be carried to meet the
needs of campus residents. These
foods will be purchased from
local distributors and growers in
the Washington
area."
The
proposal provides for two salaried employees.
The students based this proposal on the results of a petition
and a swvey of housing and
ASH residents. The petition was
signed by 618 persons who
agreed with three statell\fflts: 1)
That it is necessary to have a
source of fresh, unprocesed, and
nutritious food on campus. 2)
That food should be cheaper in
price than it presently is in the
Deli. 3) That the present amount
of pr.--packaging and pre-packaged food is excessive. There
were also three questions on the
petition. Results indicated that
600 people wanted food in the
Deli similar to the food sold at
the downtown F.0.0.D. co-op.
The second question read, "If the
Deli were run cooperatively,
would you be a member?" 422
people answered yes. The third
question, 'Would you be willing
to work three hours
per
month7", was answered affirmatively by 312 persons. Of the
comments added to th(_fiition,
the most frequent wen!':
uests
far a wider selection o fruits
and vegetables,
nuts, dried
fruits, whole grains and nonnitrite meats.
In a questionnaire which the
committee gave randomly to 184
housing and ASH students who
shop mostly at Mark-It Foods
and the co-op in town, approximately 90 percent indicated that
if groceries and prices similar to
those in town were offe~ at the
Deli, they would buy most of
their groceries there. When asked
what kinds of foods they would
like to see sold at the Deli, the
most frequent response. again
was "fresh fruits and vegetables."
After the Saga renewal contract had been explained at
Monday's meeting,
students,

Cont'd

numbering about 20, expressed
their feelings on the food service
situation. Many said that they
do not want to buy food from a
large corporation,
especially
when that corporation has exclusive rights on campus. 'We (the
committee) offered a non-profit
organization with members contributing a real alternative", said
Chris littlefair.
Some students asserted that
the administration did not appreciate food as a political issue.
Many of the students said that
they felt powerless as students;
one person said, "Students feel
good about giving input, but
they're (the administration) still
making the decisions". Under the
contract the administration
is
backing, students will still have
only the power of "input'' to
make suggestions to Saga about
changes in the Deli.
Vonda Drogmund, the Saga
Food Service Director at Evergreen, says that none of the
students on the committee have
come to her with suggestions on
the Deli. Drogmund has been
here since Saga came to Evergreen in February of '73. She
says if the Deli were givm to
someone else to run, she would
feel a personal loss because she
has "had a hand in working with
the Deli for four or five years".
She says that she is trying to
make changes there, but cannot
know what changes are wanted
unless people tell her.
Through the survey done by
Saga on the cafeteria, it was
found that the weakest areas lie
in Saga's communication with
customers on food service matters and in the dinner selection.
The staff and student employees
received the best ratings in the
survey. Vonda Drogmund wrote
responses to the negative comments which came back with the

Morrish on a full-scale evaluation of Saga. Morrish, who is in

Saga. Unfortunately,
she was

Wonien's Center Cont'd
some time. She adds that they
comprised over fifty percent of
the Women's Center's active
membership.
Yet if such a small percentage
of TESC women are utilizing the
Center (which received $5,974
for 1977-78 through Services and
Activities and thereby from all
students' tuition), a direct effort
to attract more women to the
Center is warranted.
This is one of the subjects up
for discussion at the Women's
Center meeting on Wednesday,
February 15. Roberts says the
members will attempt at this
time to clarify the Women's
Center's collective purposes and
goals. (The CPJ will report on
the results of this meeting in its
February 23 issue.)
According to Assistant Director of S & A Lynn Gamer, 'The
Women's Center as an S ~ A
group is responsible for living up
to what they proposed
the
money be spent for when it was
originally allocated."
The current operating budget
of the Center is based upon a
proposal submitted to S&A in
the spring of 1977. S6:A allocated the $5,974 to the Women's
Center
at that time for a
one-year period to end at the
completion of Spring Quarter
1978. The center will have to
submit a new proPosal to S&A
in May of this year for continued
S&A funding.
S6:A groups must explain the
functions of their organizations
in the preface of a budgetary
proposal. In April, 1977, the
Women's
Center stated
the
following in explanation of its
purpose: ''The Evergreen State
College Women's Center provides a physical place where
women of the college can meet
together and discuss their common difficlllties and goals.
It
offers an atmosphere of understanding and ~rsonal reinforcment whereby ill] women can
achieve a greater self awareness
and work to heighten their
feminist
consciousness
and
ther.eby their community.
By
initiating workshops, programs,
conferences,
etc., the Center
contributes
a vital aspect to
Everg.reen's environment."
There is some question as to
why the members of the l.6bian
Caucus chose to remain within
the Women's Center rather than
seek funding through the Gay
Resource Center at TESC. Mary
Fitzgerald,
a member of the
Caucus (who stressed she was
speaking as an individu-U and
not as spokeswoman for other
members) explained. "First of all
we're all oppressed as women in
this society. And a lot of the
issues (between
lesbian and
heterosexual womm) are common; abortion rights, welfare,
child-support, day care, all kinds
of rights concerning women not just gay women. Those are
all things that as women we all
share as a common oppression.
In specific reference to working with men in the Gay
Resource Center Fitzgerald adds,
"First of all if you understand
the oppression of women in this
society then you should be fairly
familiar with the fact that this is
a male supremist society. And
the fact that a man is gay,
whether he's o~n about it or
not, he still has the upper hand
on women. And a lot of gay
men are just as sexist as straight
men. That is one of the reasons
that it's difficult to work with
some gay men, I'm not saying all
gay men, because most of the
gay men I know are very
sensitive people."
The Lesbian Caucus stts itself
as an autonomous group within
the Women's Center. In January
Caucus members issued a public
statement to explain their goals
and objectives. In this entirety
the statement reads:
"The following statement is

not some weirdo who molests
children and thirgs like that.
(that) you're really someone who
• has feelings and cares about
people."

taking hours and years of
ongoing development, both AS
individuals and AS the collective
group of the Lesbian Caucus. We
intend it to be a statement of
purpose and unity from which
all members can work for radical
social change. As the group
grows and changes, the statement will too.
On November
27, 1977,
thirteen lesbian-feminists
met
and concurred that our needs
imd goals as political lesbians
were not being realiud by the
Women's Center, neither in the
statement of purpose nor in
practice. Therefore, we decided
to organize into on autonomous
lesbian caucus. Because we share
the oppression that is common
to all women, we chose to
remain within the Women's
Center. To me,t our goals, we
believe that it is necessary to be
autonomous - that is, to have
the freedom to decich and act in
our own and others' interests
without external approval or
permission.
"As political lesbians, one of
our primary goals is the elimination of sexism. Sexism consoli•
dates, perpetuates. and enforces
male supremacy.

effective and expedient way to
fight the institution of heterosex•
uAlity and reject heterosexual
privilege, and thus fight male
supremacy and sexism, is to be
lesbian - to divorce ourselves
from men sexually and to love,

Our working goals are to
educate ourselves, establish educational outreach to other women, and confront our oppressors. We will educate ourselves

Other feminists on campus,
such as Diane Winslow. do not
agree that the presence of the
Lesbian Caucus within the Women's Center is beneficial to the
majority of Evergreen women.
Winslow is a 39•year•old student
enrolled in Evergreen'$ Phoenix
program. She reports that her
involvement with the Women's
Center stems from co.facilitating
a "rap-group" for older women
sponsored
by the Women's
Center and the Counseling Cen•
ter. While discussing with the
CPJ an alternative plan to fund
the Lesbian Caucus through the
Gay Resource Center. she posed
the following questions:
"But will a plan like this work
if there isn't any interest shown
in the Women's Center by a
wider cross-representation of Ev•
ergreen Women in support of a
center that could be a resting
and resource place for women women who just want support,
not involuntary
consciousness
raising? Or is the Lesbian Caucus
right in its estimation that their
is no real interest in the Center
by Evergreen women outside
their active group?"
Winslow spoke about what
she believes is a need to separate
the Caucus from the Women's
Center:
"After watching the
painful bantering that has per·
sisted most of the year while the
Lesbian Caucus tried to settle
into the Women's Center, [ see
this kind of clear division as the
only way to save the Women's
Center for women in general:
the heterosexual
and lesbian
women who do not share the
tight, separatist,
conservative
politics espoused by the Lesbian
Caucus. At the risk of being a
nasty trasher I will say that these
women have become a divisive
element. not because of their
love for other women, but by
what seems to be their very lack
of it."
According to Asst. S &: A
Director Gamer, in accordance
with the COG Document any
student who is unhappy with the
way in which an S &. A group
uses its funding should confront
the organization and give them
immediate feedback. lf still dis-sat isfied he/she should report to
the S & A Board or the Budget
Unit Head, and if necessary to
the Evergreen Council.
The Women·s Center is strug•
gling to redefine itself and hopes
to encourage more women to
become involved
in Center
activities. Women's Center mem•
hers are unclear. however, as to
the exact issues they should con•
cern themselves with. Roberts
reflected: "It's real nice to say
the Women's Cenler is for all
women. But I'd feel funny if a
woman came in and wanted to
put on a program at school in·
valving anti-abortion, pro-family
type things. Are the Women's
Center (members) for those types
of women? No. Is the Women·s
Center for lesbian women 1 Who
knows? What is the Women's
Center for1 If we're unified then
we can go forward, instead of
sitting here hassling with sisters
about whether or not we're
going to support this and that."
Unity and clarity of purpose
are key issues the Women's
Center painfully needs to address
at this time. Hopefully
the
February 15 meeting will produce some answers in reg,ud to
coping with the many relevant
struggles of Evergreen women.

place and the committee is in the
process of publicizing the third.
At this meeting,
to be held
Tuesday, February 21 at 7:30
p.m. in the Lecture Hall Rotunda. decisions will be made about
the kind of action we want to
take and the way we should begin working to build it. A member of the Tacoma Committee to
Overturn Bakke is expected to
speak and we' re hoping for a
large turnout. If the planned
demonstration is to be effective,
however, a lot of support and
help ;s needed from peopl• at
Evergreen and the surrounding
community, To help build this
kind of support
I'd J;ke,, lo
explain why the Bakke case is so
critical right now and urge
everyone to become involved in
any way they can.
In 1973 and 1974 Allan Bakke
filed applications to enter medical school at the University of
California at Davis and twelve
other schools. He was turned
down by all of them. Many
believe Bakke was rejected because of his age - he was 33 at
the time. But Bakke himself
claimed to be a victim
of
"reverse discrimination." He said
thal the special admissions program at UC Davis.
which
reserves 16 oul of 100 places for
"disadvantaged"
students, was
unconstitutional.
He said the
program allowed "less qualified"
Black, Chicano,
Native and
Asian American students to be
admitted before him. In September, 1976, the California State
Supreme Court agreed with
Ba.kke, in spite of the fact that
36 white students with lower
grades and test scorn were also
admitted before him. How the
case is being de1iberated in the
U.S. Supreme
Court and a
decision is expected sometime
this spring.

Despite attempts by the gov
ernment and opponents of affir~
mative action to hide the fact.
the key issue in the Bakke case 1!>
quotas . Quotas are the only
effective way to enforce affirmative action programs. Quotas are
tangible. You c_an measure the
success of fn aftlrmative action
program by whether or not it is
meeting its quota. Goals, which
the Justice Department says it
favors, are not adequate. A goal
is merely an aspiration, something that can be raised or
lowered at the wh1m of an
employer or college admini!>trator. Goals can only be effective
if they include definite timetables
and enforceable requirements. in
other words, quotas. If the U.S.
Supreme Court upholds

telephone 943-3089 for intormation on specific tasks you can
help with. The outcome of the
battle to maintain the effectiveness of affirmative action won't
be determined by lawyers in a
courtroom. It will be determined
by the ability of proponents of
affirmative action to win public
support and, above all, to tum
that support into mass, visible
action. Please help by working
with the Evergreen Committee to
Overturn
the Bakke Decic.ior,
and by attending the demonstra~
tion in April.

The effects of abolishing quota
systems would be devastating for
women and minorities. The gains
made recently through affirmative action programs have been
relatively si'nall. (Today over 93
percent of the doctors in this
country are still white and male.)
By reducing what limited protection exists more and more people
will be compelled to accept the
worst jobs and the lowest wages.
This is not only detrim~ntal to
the women and minority people
who are usually forced into these
positions,
but to white male
workers as well. Employers can
then justify the low wage paid lo
white males by pointing to the
even lower wages paid to
minorities and vVomen.
