The Women's Center
Roberts Refuses To
Resign
by Nancy Ann Park ..
Chelle Robert,, Co-Coordinat or of The Evergreen State
College Women's Center was
asked to resign Tuesday at an
evaluation meeting concerning
her past performance in that
pool.
The call for resignation waa
issued by nine of the twenty-six
women who atten~
the mttting. Seven of the women who
asked that Roberts resign wm,
memben of the newly fanned
Labian Caucus. "Homophobic
tendencies and an authoritative
stance" we"' atated u the main
rusons for the resignation re-quest.
Coordinator Roberts mused
to resign at the cfose of
Tuesday's meeting amidat the
applauae of eupporters. The
raignation can not be legally

Center
memben beause the position lo
Work Study qualified,
and
t.Mrefore Roberts' employment is
handled through the Office of
Financial Aid.
Tuesday's mttting had been
posted as a continuance
of
R~rts'
evaluation by Women's
Center memben, as she had not
yet had the chance to respond to
allegations
made at a prior
meeting.
Roberts, who began by readily
admitting a need to further
eliminate her own homophobic
tendenci,., st......ed that homophobia is an issue all individuala
must confront. "And I don't
know a lnbian who started out
as a heterosexual woman who
haan't had to face her own
homophobia," Roberts said to
memben of the Leobian Caucus.
She alao defended
her "grassroots" political ltance, citing that
her past work with women has
involved the fulflllme.'lt of immediate needs, ouch u food and
,helter, for women who had
been phyelcally and emotionally
battered. Roberts also made the
point that it was difficult for her
to make a transition from these
immediate needs to longer range
political objectives.
The main issue Roberts dis-puted during the meeting was in
reference to her right to "indivvidual politics," She felt that the
position of Coordinator necessitated making decisions on her
own, and that her actions could
not always be dictated by a
group consensus.
Th~ in conflict with Coor·
dinator Roberta, ouch as Lauren
Herbert, told her that she often
acted in response to penonal
rather than group nttda. Approximately one--third of those
present at the meeting confronted Roberts on th... grounds,
accusing her of being "authoritarian" instead of working by
The inauguration of Daniel J. Evans as President of Evergreen
will take place on Sunday. February 26, beginning at ~ 1p.m.
.. Commencement of the public ceremonies will be at The Evergreen
State College, in the Library Building. Ceremonies will ht followed by a reception and banquet at 6:30 p.m. at the Greenwood
Inn. Admission to the banquet is $9.00 per person; ceremonies on
campus are free.
Evans assumed the presidency at Evergreen on June 15, 1977
after serving three terms as the Governor of the State of Washington. He was precttded by Charles J. McCann, Evergreen's founding president, who served for ten years.
The inauguration ceremonies will include brief "greetings and
charge5" from student, staff, and faculty representatives, and
Evans' response to those charges. Also scheduled to deliver charges
are U.S. Congressman Joel Pritchard, State Fisheries Director
Gordon Sandison, and Chairman of Evergreen's Board of Trustees
Herbert D. Hadley.
Inauguration ceremonies will also include performances by the
Evergreen Jazz Ensemble and the Madrigal Singers.
Activities planned for the evening celebration are a talk given
by Or. John Rasner, a dean from an Australian university which
emphasizes interdisciplinary studies, a visual "History of Evergreen," performances by faculty and community vocalists, and a
brief speech by Evans.
Advance reservations are required for the banquet; tickets are
available through the Office of College Relations.

Faculty Handbook DTF Reports
The Faculty HandbookReview
DTF met with thirty-five me,nben of The Evttgreen State College faculty and staff yatorday,
February 22, to ditcwo the DTP',
proposed revision• of Faculty
Evaluation and Retention Polley.
The DTF WU fortMCI during
May and June of 1977 and
charged "to undertake a ieview
of the curttnt faculty handbook,
bringing forward ffl:<>mmendatlons for changes in any lltttion
thereof-hopefully
in time for
ieviow by the Provost and Prfti.
dent and presentation
to the
Boardof Trust- at ib Deamhff
(or January) fflffling."
A June 10 memo from the
deslt ol Acadmuc Dun Will
Humphttya mcapaulated the need
for the DTF: " ... ~tially,
we
need to find a atronger mechanism
for faculty self-sovemance in tttention matters-one which pull
less weight on administrative
evaluation ol teaching and more
weightonfacultyinvolvement .... "
According to a February 13
memo issued by the DTF to the
Faculty, it had tried "to ~affirm the College's commitmenl
to lnterdiaciplinary, collaborative
teaching"; to place "a pmnium
on the task of faculty development and to relocate this raponsibility back among the faculty
where It belongs''; "to provide
criteria for judging faculty performance"; to cwvise"a
for giving special help to thoee
faculty who are in some difficulty concuning reappointmenl";
and to ~tablish
"the Cetltral
role of the faculty seminar as an
instrument for coJlaboration,
scholarship, faculty development
and future program development."
Discussion at the faculty mttting Cffltered around problems
with "bureaucratic" and "fuzzy"
language within the propoaed
changes for the Faculty Handbook. Specifically, objection,
were raised over claute1 in the
proposal which atated that faculty memben who had been at
TESC for llix yun would be
responsible for couneeling newer
procae

faculty.
'1t's one thing for tho,,e who
have been here and new people
to engage in collaborative teaching, but there is a danger of
paternalism and matemalism in
institutionalizing aeniority ... " said
Faculty Member Kirk Thompson.
The most controversial of all
the DTF s proposals was one
stating that all faculty memben
"att expected to be continuously
involved in faculty sem.inan."
The proposal further stated that
exceptions to the provisions
would be possible "only upon
·submitting written reasons to
and receiving written acknowl~t
from a dean."
In response to this proposal
Peta Hmdenon remarked, "We
as faculty haw to be the best
judges of what our time is best
u...tfor."
Other faculty memben were
concerned that the proposal
might be interpmed as requiring
them to take on reading lists in
addition to those of their programs, contracts, or individual
research. In addition,
many
attending Wednesday'• meeting
did not fttJ they should have to
submit written reason to the
deans for straying from faculty
seminars.
Richard Jones addressed the
fact that faculty seminan of two
persons did not Sffl1l to work,
and that mttting in larger groups
would help faculty memben to
make better use of Kminar time.
In reaponse. Willie Unsoeld
ltold Jones he felt two-member
te~
were able to seminar well.
He said that he had 1ried adding
an additional faculty member to
•the team from outside his program but that "evm though the
flah .we chooe wu a flah of our
color and species, he w.u a fish
of a different pool."
• Faculty member. raised additional objKtions to the DTF s
proposals, one concerning a f'ft.
erence to "demonstration of aca~ic
professionalism and colleagueship", listed under reappointment decision guidelines.
One faculty member stressed
that the language was unclear,
and could be used "to get at
someone we don't like. We could
just say they're 'unprofessional'."
The majority of those present at
the mttting felt that reappointment guidelines should be spelled
out in much greater detail.
The committee will meet a~in
on Wednesday, Much 8, from 1
to 3 p.m. in CAB 108 to further
discuss proposals with the faculty. This meeting is open to students and sl.uf as well.
DTF member Chuck Pa;Ithorp
said that the final report of the
DTF which would be ,ubmitted
to the deans could not possibly
reflect a consensus of the entire
faculty. He did, however, encourage those who strongly disagreed with portions of the pro-posal to submit their grievances
in writing to both the committtt
and the deans.
The findings of 1he DTF are
only intended as recommencfai.
lions to the Academic Deans.
Final decisions on revisions of
the Faculty Handbook will be
made by The Evergreen State
College administration.
Faculty members who did not
attend the Wednesday meeting
are encouraged to review the
proposails and .1ttend the subsequent meeting 50 that apathy can
be replaced with a finner commitment towards collaborative
faculty efforl.

Points Of
Clarification
To the Editor:
The article "Women's Center
m Transition" by Nancy Ann
Parkes ICPJ. Feb. 16) nffd1 a
few points of clarification. One
1s that the Women's Center has
had two coordinators for a sood
three years, not just since the
formation of the Lesbian Caucus.
Most uf Diane Winslow's
c.omments were innacurate and
misleaJin,s. The LNbian Caucus
does not ntima.tcr: thilt there is no
interest in the Women's Center,
but has (along with others)
observed that active participat 10n in meetings and project, has
been minimal. Also, the Lesbian
Caucus did not "settle into" the
Women's CentH like
some
plague or parasite, but rather as
1nd1viduals were/.ue reaaonably
active Women's Center members,
often "holding it together" as
Chelle and othen have noted.

Community Responds
To Incidents Of Violence
by Mandy McFarlan
In light of the recent incre,ase in
reported violence on and near
the Evergreen campus, individuals and groups on campus a.re
taking steps to prevent rape and
assault.
The Thun;ton County Sheriffs
Office is in charge of the cases
and is working in cooperation
with Campus Security.
A woman who was jogging
along Driftwood Road was raped
February 3 by a man who
followed her on foot. This was
the second on-campus
rape
reported in the history of the
college.
On January 29, a hitch-hiker
reported
an attempted
rape
which occured on Kaiser Road,
close to campus.
A man was assaulted
on
February 6 near the Mods by
t.hrtt men. He was taken to St.
Peter Hospital where he received
several stitches.
A woman who was jogging
sometime around noon on February 10 was chased by two
men; one appeared to be in his
twenties and the other. was
described as middle-aged. On
February 12, a woman was
assaulted by two men near
A.S.H., again by a man in his
fortie5 or fifties and a younger
man. She screamed and fought
to escape. The younger man had
curly, greasy hair. Further descriptions are filed confidentially
with Campus Security and the
Thurston
County
Sheriff's
Office.
Other incidents which do not
involve physical violenc-e, such
as sightings of a flasher, have
also been ~rted
recently. One
woman told Security that a man
in a 1963 brown Chevy Nova
expossed him..JI when she left
his car. The car had Washington
liCfflle plates, number BND-516.
In spite of the sttmingly
intolerable upsurge of violent

standards of the group'• collective interests.
Caroline Lacey, Co-Coordinator of the Women's Center, said
that Roberts' "incon»istencies"
made her job extremely difficult.
Ao an ~mple
1he cited an
incident earlier in the day when
Roberti had voiced strenuous
objections to attending the eval~atlon unless an unbiased facilitator could be located prior to
1
the mttting.
•
Roberts responded that she
had been voicing "an emotional
and human" response to what
she had felt at the time was an
unfair situation.
Lacey also told Roberts !Nit
the core group of the Women's
Center had dissipated because of
Roberts' inability to work in
conjunction with them, and that
the same difficulties had occurred during the transition mttti.ng
between the Lesbian Caucus and
the Women's Center.
One woman at Tuesday's
evaluation conlettnce defended
Roberta' position by stating that
the formation of the Lesbian
Caucus within the Women's
Center was responsible for turmoil which was being attributed
to Roberts. She added, in
response to the Lesbian Caucus's
statement of purpose:
"The
Caucus owes students a statement (specifically) of what n-1,
have not been met (by the
Women's Center)."
Continued
LNbian womm present at the
meeting resented being called a
divisive element within the
Center in light ol the fact that
they had been "predominantly
active"
in Women's
Center
activities since its beginnings at
Evergrttn.
Roberts informed the dissenters present at the meeting that
they composed only a fraction of
the total number of women
involved in the Wome:n's Center.
She firmly stated her position as
Coordinator should be considered in re/,renc,, to the n-1, of all
women a11ociated with the
Center in the put and present,
and ol those who might join in
the fututt.
Other womm present at Tuesday's meeting adamantly supported Roberts' continuance as
Coordinator, praising her abilities to counsel on an individual
level and aid the Center in
general. They commended her
for facing the tremendous difficulties involved in coordinating
such a politically diverse group
of women.
Evaluation of the Coordinators
is a new process to the Women's
Center, and Roberts was noted
by one woman present for her
strength in assuming the responsi bi Ii ty of evaluation
by the
group. The woman added that
this in itself was indicative of a
commitment
to work on her
shortcomings.
The mttting did not center
itself, however, on positive criticism intended to help Roberts
better serve the Women's Center.
Rather, the focus was a compos,ite of varying political views
within the diverse group and
Roberts' seemed to be used as a
vent for strong emotions and
anger.
At one point during Tuesday's
meeting, Roberts asked the
group if anyone else present
were willing to endure the long
hours and pain it would take to
assume the role of Coordinator.
No hands were raised.
INTERNAL STRUGGLES
Many of the dilemmas raised
at Tuesday's mttting stemmed
from larger internal struggle ■
which Women's Center members
currently face. Goals, objectives,
and political stances are widely
diversified among women already active within the Center.
Presently, the exact purpose
and definition of the Evergreen
Women's Center are unclear, and
women have been meeting to
clarify them. This problem is not
only central to the TESC
Women's Center, but to the
Women's Movement on a national level. It is a difficult
experience for women who are
all oppressed. yet experience
these oppressions in different
ways in light of varied political
n.o~ "°"" -stances, to work together against
their common oppression.
The core group of Evergrttn's
Women's Center met on Wednesday, February 15, specificaJly
to discuss "projects, needs, organiz.ation, decision-making, responsibilities of members and
Coordinators, and the relationship of the Center to the Lesbian
Caucus." The meeting raised
significantly more questions than
it answered.
One issue which was discussed
was the "promotion of feminism
rather than a
pro-woman
stance." The group agrttd that
the definition
of "feminist"
needed further clarification.
Other items discussed at the
February 15 mttting concerned
what type of women's inter6ts
were being served by the Center
to date, and reasons why other

No conclusions were drawn
from this meeting. How,ver,
members agreed that they would
resume the discussion at another
meeting on February 22.

IN SEATTLE
Asserting Oneself 101:
A Course By Newspaper
by John Foster
Paranoius teaches: "Be on
your guard every second. Otherwise, you'll end up kicking
yourself."
There was once a time when
religion venders were relatively
unsophisticated
and therefore
fairly harmless. Krishniacs were
bald and wore robes. They
handed out incense and were
ridiculed by street people for
giving out tons ol free food on
Sundays. They were not liked.
However, in the last few years
they have totally n,vamped their
approach.
A well-dressed, well-led young
man accosts you. He looks like
the son of a politician. "No",
you say bewilderedly. He has
cornered you. Next thing you
know you've been sold a book
you have no internt in by this
sneak. The way this came about
wu with the line, 'Td like to
give you a book." Anyone so
dishonest should be forced to
l!Jten to campaign lpftCha for
the rest ol his Ufe. "An you
from New Yorkr "Y.. ", you say
belligerently. ''Shake handa," he
says coyly. Don't do. It. If you
hHtitate he'll f•ign Innocence
and Ny, '11'1 clean." It's not. It's
a dirty buaineaa. You11 find your
hand tightly grasped (not firmly
duped) and he won't let go until
you buy a book or IIC1UJII for a
cop. Sina copo are never around
when you want one you might
want to kick hlmwhere It hurts.
If you aim for his balla you
might end up with a llubbed toe.
The moral, Don't ahake handa
with repulaive peopl•.
Don't humor him or try to be
nice. 'Td Ilk• to atop and tallt

might say you already haw 11
cop1.. al the book. 'Why not an
even dozen7" would be the
obvious reply ... Now, however,
there is PART 2. How convenient! Let's say he asks you if you
have ahy money (not unlikely).
You say, "Yes, but l won't give
you any." This may ~ effective,
but it puts you in a bad-buy
position. Likewise with, "Get
lost." Sensitive people like me
find themselv6 trying to rationalize their nastin6s and end up
despising the poor fucker. But
there is still hope. You hear the
set-up: "Are you from New
York7" Do not speak. Don't
pretend
lo be deaf. Don't
pretend to be a wino. Don't
pretend to be from a rival
religious order. Don't even look.
Shoo him away with the back ol
your hand. This gives you the
mystique of a per!on who
cannot be swayed. It is one step
away from cold-blooded murder.
Other religious groups, The

Guru Mahara )i's hordes ol
followers are general1y too

Jehovah's Witnesses are oldtimen at selling religion. They

almost always meet with success.
They relish in the vulnerable

Kids ran around screaming

crowded into Pioneer Square

celebrated it• 11econdFat Tuesday
this P"SI week, proving beyond
any doubt that all they need to
throw a party is a good excuse.
Seattle is too young a city to
have a predominant
ethnic
Identity, such as Boston's Irish or
New Orleana' Roman Catholic
French characten. It's a postmelting pot city: a typical
Seattlite'1 ethnic constitution
would n,ad somewhat like a roll
call at the U.N. General Aaembly. Because it hu no pervasive
adherence to any ethnic tradition. Seattle lacks (or lacked.
until last year) a mu& enthusiasm for ethnic holidays like
New Orluna' Mardi Graa. But
Seattlites learn quickly. Just one
yur after they borrowed the
Idea ol celebrating the day
befott Lent (and the lint few
daya of it beaidea) from New
Orleans, SeattlitH seem quite
comfortablewlth the holiday.
Seattle'• Fat Tuesday 1J different, though, from Mardi Gru in
New Orleans. The original event

the
French would take a final fling
with the pleasures of the f1esh,
and presumably drag themselves
to church the following morning
to have their forehu.ds smeared
with symbolic ashes.
Although New Orleans' Mardi
Gras has undoubtedly drifted a
ways from its religious roots, it
still takes place in ai very
Catholic city. Seattle. on the
other hand, has imported the
party and just the party. 'What
the hell is Lentl" IJ not an

like the way coinl, when they

At thla point one should bear
in mind that while few of
Seattle's Fat Tuesday alebrants

the rigors of Catholic Lent, they
do have their own rigon not

In th• wood, just
out1lde of B,lllngham retU a
verltabl• glngerbn,ad houoe of
educational delicacy. Over 350
soul,, with dedicated vltlon and
d,termlned ,plrlt, Inhabit th•

Fairhaven a, It 11 known today,
on the verge of vanl,hing. You
ttt, Fairhaven it not an autono•
mou, alternative like Evergreen,
but e>cl•t• ,ymblotlcally In relation to th• much larpr Wntern
Wuhlngton Regional Unlverolty.
Now the parent ochool h1t taken
the fledgeling alternative out
from undtr It, wing to give It a
good looklna-over to determine
If It can llv• up to the goal, of
coat-effective and qu,llty education.
Over the lut
ten yean
Fairhaven ha, underaone eleven
evaluation, by varlou, accreditIna bodln and evaluation committu. The latut, completed
early thl• quarter, ha, been forwarded to Western Unlverolty
Academic Vice Pruldent Dr.
Talbot and Prnldent Oldocamp.
The majority report of th•
committee ll,u eleven recommend,d changu to be mad,
concerning Fairhaven, ranalng
from broad curriculum ratructurlng to a reduction of the cott
of a 1tudent'1 education.
A minority report recommended changn that the College
be clo.. d by Jun• 30, 1979, to be
followed by the formation of an
alternative
program with a
nontraditional structure within
tho laraer Unlvonlty.
The threat to the exlttence of
the College ha, ,parked a 'tave
Fairhaven' campalgrl which .. nt
three 1tudent1 down to Evergreen
to alert people here of the
problem.
Patrick Thomson,
Scott Regan, and H•alher Hanna
vlolted Evorgr.. n on February 16
and 1pok• of the ongoing effort,
"to kHp the Fairhaven tplrlt
alive." Task forces have been Ht
up to evaluate and respond ln
depth to th• majority'• recommendation, to contact alternative
high ochool, In ordtr to rat.. the
•nrollment, and to dlttrlbute lnforma tion about Fairhaven to

Heather dncrlbed the path a
1tud,nt u,ually follow, while
att,ndlng Fairhaven. It aound,
much like the metamorpho,t, of
a, caterpillar, with a ,tudent
progres,lng through three ,tages
before graduating. A ,tudent
doea not move on to the next
stage until ,he/he ha, demon1trat•d a completion of the
previous stagn and preparation
for the forthcomlna one.
Stage I I, an exploratory ,tag•,
a time for a penon to tearch and
seek out new area, of study and
tHt• a variety of different
"leavn." Once the ,tudent ha,
broken Into th• Fairhaven experience. uoually after three to five
quarter,, he(she 11elect1teveral
faculty members to work with
and five areaa to focus their
learning on. The student muat
al,o demon,trat• an ablllty to
write competently. Once th!, hat
been done, the tran1ltlon to ttage
111•made.
Stage II It a tlm• for
concentration, when a student
either 1) choosn a major at
w.. 1,rn unlverolty or 2) construct, a Fairhaven lnterdltclpllnary Concentration. The concentration may be more tpeclallzed and technical than •tas• I
but still retain, an lnterdltclplinary flavor. After approval of th•
completion of the concentrated
studies, stage three bealn•.
Breaking th• wall, of the
"student cocoon", stage three 11a
time for th• ttudent to bring
what h,1,he hH !urned back
into Fairhaven. Thia may come
in th• form of pr ... ntatlono,
lectures, lead.int);lffl'linan, and/
or actually teaching entire clat1•
"· In addition, the student
participatet Jn advanced seminars, prnumably In their concentrated area, of intereat. Of
coune the next stage, but
certain!y not th• final one, l1
flying fr•• of the Fairhaven
branch.
Th• study by the Evaluation
Committee recommends that the
faculty of Fairhaven should
develop program, preparing 1tudents for self-directed learning.
For the flrtt y•ar ,tudent, would
•l,e required to take "an lnterdi1-
ciplinary, common core curriculum of 45 credltt". Wh,ther thl,
will alter th• exl,tlng three ,tag•
concept remains to be teen.
Another recommendation ttlpulates that the faculty 1tafflna
formula (the direct co,t -of
instruction) be reduced to within
10% of the averap 1tafflng l,vel
for th• Univerolty. Thlt mutt
occur by the end of Spring
Quarter, 1978.
In fact, all of the recommendation• have time requirement,
which result In final lmpl•m•ntatlon by the ,prlng of 1981. An
ovel'Offlng Probationary Board
would check to ... that changes
were made on time. Recommen•
datlon eleven ,tat .. , "In the event
that Fairhaven doe, not mttt th•
deadline, th•n th• College ,hould
be doted."
A l•t• report Wedn01day
mornlna on !<ZAM radio mentioned that Prnld,nt Old,camp
said the Unlv,ralty would not
close Fairhaven. He alto exprn►
ed hi, and Wntern'• tupport of
an alternative choice for tho ..
,tudent• who are ready and
,ufflclently "lf-dlnected for ,uch
a college. Prt1ldent Oldocamp
added that changes would have
to be made In the exlttlng
structurH and curriculum, to
1tren1then ,om• of th• w,aknesfH pecelved by the Evaluation CommlttH.
While the Immediate crlol, at
Fairhaven may have ,ub•lded,
there itlll ul,t, a lonaer 1.. t1ng
threat to Fairhaven and to
alternative education in the State
of Wuhlngton.

Whll1 Heather, Patrick, and
Scott were vltltlna, th1y ,poke
