Thurston County: Coming of Age

A
growing population creates an increasing demand for services.
Consequently,
there has been a
spin-off
effect in terms of retail trades
and service sector jobs. Along with
additional
construction,
these two
categories have increased most markedly alongside government. Agrowing
economy has not only created new jobs
but also new investment opportunities

Thurston County is different from
other counties in that it is the seat for
state aovernment. Burgeoning government erowth has dramatically affected
the local population trends. Govern
ment._
includina
local, state, and
federal, is the sinele Wi""' employer of
people in Thurston County. In 1976, ii
constituted almost 45 percent of the
total employment or 16,760 persons.
This was up from 31 percent or 5,980 in

1960.
Another factor bringina people to
Thurston County is its
proximity to
other areas which are ottering jobs. On
the one hand, many of the over 1000
workers employed at the Satsop nuclear
plant presently under construction seek
housing
and urban
amenities
in
Thurston County.
On the other hand, people employed
in Tacoma or Seattle who commute
from homes here take advantaae of the
more relaxed and rural atmosphere of

To grow or not to grow; if only that
were the question.
Realistically,
however, the genuine concern is, how
are we aoina to cooperate
as a
community
to channel the erowth
which is already upon us!
There can b.eno doubt that Thurston
County Is growine. Statistics from the
state's Population Division of the Office
of Fiscal Manasement inform us that in
1978, Thurston County's population was
107,000. This was up from 76,894 in
1970- -a 39.7 percent increase. Only
5,674 of these new inhabitants can be
attributed to natural cause, i.e., births
minus deaths.
24,432 of the new population were
due to immigration- -and these are
permanent immigrants, not the transient sort such as leaislators. In terms
of
actual and percentage increases,
Thurston County is one of the state's
fastest growing countie5. By the year
2000, the population is expected to
have reached approximately 180,000.

Trident Sentencing
and Beyond
by Doug Riddels
On Friday, January 26, 176 persons
gathered in a packed auditorium on the
fifth floor of the new Federal Building
in downtown Seattle. The auditorium
had been converted to a courtroom,
and the 176 persons were there to be
sentenced for having llleplly re-entered
the Trident submarine base in Bangor,
Washington on May 23, 1978. We had
been found guilty by Judge Voorhees
on January 2 and faced a possible
sentence of six months in jail and a
SSOOfine.
In fact, sentences were not as severe
as that: five persons who had been
arrested at a previous demonstration
were sentenced to
forty-five days in
jail. Everyone else was also sentenced
to forty-five
days in jail, but the
sentence
was suspended
on two
conditions:
that we not re-enter the
Trident base, and that we not violate
any city, state, or federal laws for the
next three years. Violation of the terms
of probation will result in an immediate
forty-five day jail sentence, plus any
penalties for the act that violated the

terms of probation.
People bepn to gather outside the
courtroom an hour before sentencing
was supposed to beein. The doors
opened soon after 9:00, but only
defendents and the pre5s were allowed
in. Our friends and supporters spent
the day in the hall outside
the
courtroom, without being able to hear
what was happening within.
Before sentencine, the defendents
and their lawyers, Irwin Schwartz and
Bill Bender from the Federal Public
Defenders' office, were allowed to
make statements
pertaining
to sentencing. Forty-three defendents chose
to make statements.
Schwartz spoke first, emphasizing the
defendents'
commitment
to oon·
violence, even in the face of occasional
violence from the federal marshals at
the base. "They acted for no gain to
themselves,"
he said, "and for no
purpose other than completely altruistic
purposes."
Schwartz said that sentencing would
be generally ineffective as a deterrent,

Other factors which contribute to this
scene are the automobile
and a
fast-paced, independent lifestyle. This
lifestyle conflicts with the variability of
downtown areas throughout the country. With no time to hassle for parking,
fight traffic, fulfill needs from separate
shops, the consumer of today frequently chooses the pre-packaged convenience of a suburban mall. Consumers
and businesses alike abandon down·
town areas which deteriorate through
disuse. Downtown business activity in
Olympia has been declining ever since
1965 when South Sound Center was
constructed.

Impact of Growth and Development

Agricultural employment in Thurston
County declined from 1,585 in 1960 to
800 in 1976. Agriculture here has never
been as concentrated
nor as highly
productive as in other areas of Western
Washington. Since it is less visible, it is
also more easily lost. According to
George Barner of the County Commission, agriculture constitutes almost 25
percent of our domestic economy. Its
loss poses a threat to local well-being
as well as culture.
The more established agricultural
ventures such as Hofart's Christmas
trees,Weyerhaueser's
seedlings, and
mushrooms
with
more than local
distribution, will not be jeopardized by

development
It ,s small famtly farms
which most ep1tom1ze a rural subculture, both in essence and in their
struggle for existence, that w,11 suffer
Experiencing n~ing costs and suflering from the loss of determ1nat1on and
profits,
they tend to sell out to
developers
By taking advantagf' of
rising
land prices
they can gain
an element
of financial
security
otherwise not provided by our ~oc1ety
The price we pay " the loss of locally
grown, fresh produce
Proposals
were made bv the
Thurston County Agr.cultural
Comm1•
ttee in June of 1978 to alleviate this
problem
These have not yet been
acted upon The proposals rely mostly
on voluntary
efforts by farmers to
preserve their own lands. However.
there is no guarantee as to how farmers
will choose to act.
Given the prevailing political climate,
more aggressive measures, such as those
recently attempted
tn King County,
,1rouse much opposition. The fate of
local rural and agricultural life remains
1n jeopardy
The dynamic which threatens agriculture also endangers the future of
downtown Olympia and the overall
shape of things
to come
It 1s
suburbanization·
the blending
and
mixing of local diversity and the growth
of homogenous mass culture
is not difficult
to picture
the
extension of recent developments along
Harrison and Mud Bay. McDonald's,
Pizza Hut, Skipper's, Seven Eleven, and
Capitol Mall are already established.
The lure of profiu and accumulation
feeds the fires of growth which result m
yet another standard display of suourban affluence.
Olympiill: Forces for Revitillliz~tion
As early as 1958 some businesses
pushed for a downtown mall area to
counter this trend. This idea failed to
generate interest or attract financial
support
In 1973, CORE (CENTRAL
Olympia
Revitalization
Effort}
was
founded It remained active until 1977

Missing Woman's
Body Found
The body of Wendy Wilson, a 21-year

old Evergreen student missing since last
December 5, has been found. A student
walking in the woods came across the
body just north of Driftwood Road, less
than 400 yards from the dorms, in the
late afternoon of January 30.
An autopsy was performed January
31, and the results are not yet known.
Mac Smith,
Evergreen's
Chief of
Security, present at the autopsy, reports
that Wendy had apparently been dead

since the time she was first missing,
and that there were no signs of foul
play All evidence points to suicide as
the cause of death.
Suicide is not new to Evergreen. Mac
Smith has asked me to end this report
with a plea to students to pay closer
attention
to each other; to not be
passive when we see another is in need.
We need to take more initiative when
we see that someone ,s down; by the
time we can regret not having done so,
1t is too late

Racism
To the Editors:
As a recent graduate of the Evergreen
"institution,"
I would like to comment
with a few of my own feelings to issues
addressed in Ms. Hickey's article on
Institutional
Racism at Evergreen,
Cooper Point Journ•I. January 16, 1979.
Cultural deprivation, which I feel is
implied in Hickey's article, is prevalent
at Evergreen,
is not conducive
to
growth, academic or otherwise. If one
trame of reference dominates most of
che course offerings,
students
are
impoverished to say nothing of those
doing the offering.
Cultural enrichment or tokenism is no
answer either. That is like serving white
bread with vitamins added for all the
missing fiber and vital elements,
learning in an environment such as
this is linear and traditional with no risk
and no growth.
Ignorance
of or unwillingness
to
learn and grow from meaningful
relations with those of other cultures,
who have a different and equivalent
frame of reference, is adolescent at
best
A general liberal arts education a la
Europe is so exclusive, it is archaic.
Would
it not be wise for an
1nstitut1on such as Evergreen to be
committed
in this world of rapid
change to a mature view of its purpose
with those whom it serves; with those
who serve it; and with what they serve,

Letters
Last of the Midnight Cult

.Gratefully Dead

To Gary May and Ken Poyser:
Due to space limitiations, I was not
able to go into as much depth as I had
wanted in my article, "Cult Dreams of
the Midnight
Audience",
which
appeared in the last issue of the Cooper
Point Joum•I. I admit that the article
was rather choppily written and I would
:ike to clarify my positi~n here, since
there are some misundefsntndings.
First of all, Gary and ken seem to
want to know where I g off defining
"what is a cult film"?
he definitions
were not mine. They w re laid down by
the critics in Boston' The Real Paper
and The Phoenix aboul four years ago.
(This was edited out of the article.)
Boston is where the original cult films
got their start, and a specific label
seemed necessary to catagorize these
films that had become a opecific
phenomena. The Rul P•per and The
Phoeni,, by the way, have about the
best writing on film, for a weekly paper,
in the country.
So the term, cult film, was simply a
convenient label tor certain kinds of
films that had a fanatic appeal to
certain groups of middle class young
people-especially
college students.
Popular opuses like "Star Wars,"
"Airport 1984," and 'Walking Tall, Part
64" wouldn't
apply as cult films
because the audience for these films
consist of people from all age groups
and classes. Art films by Bergman,
et al, have a different kind of mass
audience and garner critics and festival
awards all over the world, which rarely
happens to a cult film. Jost look at the
turkeys that get nominated each year
for the Hollywood Academy Awards.

To Simon Scheeline
c/o Cooper Point Journal:
The last
line of the second
paragraph of your article ("I've come
to the conclusion that I've seen my
last Grateful Dead concert.") brings
me joy; I won't have to put up with
your inane babble before and after the
concert or competition for tickets and
a space in line.
I'm sorry you had a hassle with Bill
Graham and the ticket scene. I only
wish I could have had that hassle and
been able to see the show. Winterland
means a lot to me and a lot ol other
people who didn't get to see the show
because Bill Graham duped a lot of
people who thought they should check
out Winterland before it closed.
I'm sary you were disappointed in
t'1e show because it didn't live up to
the biggest, superstar-line-up, closingof-Winterland, too-high imagination of
yours. NEVER
FORGET
ABOUT
UCL Y RUMORS I
I wonder if you would enjoy the
music of the Boston Philharmonic
Orchestral I doubt if they break into a
sweat. Musicians don't have to sweat
to play intense beautiful music. They
can and occasionally do. Please don't
limit the Grateful Dead to being the
once Greatest Rock 'n' Roll band.
Gratefully Dead
Joel Lindstrom
P .S. NY AAAHHI
P.P.S. Quote by Simon 1/19/79; "I'd
go see 'em if they play anywhere
close." Looking forward to your babble
in line. See ya at the show, Simon.

Secondly, both pundits have accused
me of lacking a sense of humor and
taking things too seriously. Look-I
love to watch bad films. Frank and
Neill's "Nightcap
Theatre"
is my
favorite television show. I just don't like
it when bad films are accepted and
worshipped by supposedly intelligent
people (i.e. college students). "King of
Hearts," "Eraserhead,"
and "Rocky
Horror Picture Show" are simply bad
movies. They might be more fun for
some of us if they were recognized as
such I'll take well-made, yet meaningless, entertainment
any day (a
Hitchcock, for example). Even "Eraserhead" might be tolerable on "Nightcap
Theatre". The commercials would break
up the monotony.
"King of Hearts" is badly written,
sloppily
directed,
and ridiculously
acted. Ken feels that the film is a novel
expression of the common war is insane
theme. I felt insulted, not only by the
film's idiotic
portrayal
of "crazy"
people, but also by being bludgeoned
t;,y this "novel expression" over and
over again for two hours. If it was well
done and more subtle, it might have
been different. (Subtlety is not a trait of
cult films, anyway.)
As I mentioned in the previous article,
there are numerous films that convey
this theme much better. So why aren't
there cults around them! I think it's
because the masses tend to prefer the
more simple-minded things in art. Cod
forbid that someone might actually see

something that makes s/he think too
much or examine their values.
Decadence, as I see it, is when a
culture (in this case a youth culture)
indulges in and accepts things without
questioning their values-or
lack of
them This seems to be the case with the
Seventies generation. The thing with
"Rocky Horror" and "Eraserhead" is that
they're just so stupid. It might be fun to
revel in the decadence of "Rocky
Horror," but is this what we fought so
hard for in the Sixties?
Ten yeary ago, many of us thought
that the next generation would be even
more aware and revolutionary. Hell,
they're not even rebelling, unless you
think punk or "Rocky Horror" is a
threat to the system. I'll admit that
what I don't like is the return to the
Fifties-type complacency in the young.
Social critic Norman Podhoretz wrote
in 1957 concerning his contemporaries,
that he saw "a certain justice in
regarding the young generation as a
non-generation, a collection of people
who, for all their apparent command of
themselves . .. for all their apparent
sophistication, for all their 'maturity',
know nothing,
stand for • nothing,
believe in nothing."
In some ways that applies to the
current young generation and to some
of your comments, Gary. You say that
there is no such thing as a respectable
critic. That may be true. But I was
referring to the critics that I respect
(and I do respect some). You have
placed yourself in the position of a
critic just by your response to my
article.
Then, in defining "fraserhead," you
say that it may mean "individuality is
imaginary." Maybe it is saying that, but
what the hell is that supposed to mean?
That we are all just imaginary beings?
That we should submit to being stupid
beings in the maze of the rat race?
"Eraserhead" is hardly the product,of
several thousand hours of deey .thouaht
when even the director himself doesn't
take the film seriously, as indicated in a
recent Newsweek interview. Maybe I
could have accepted the film's "message"a little more if it wasn't presented
in such a dull, monotonous, suffocating
and nauseating manner. It's decadent
art (yes, I'll admit it's art) at its worst.
But sorry, it's not my cup of puke (and
there was a lot of something like puke
on the screen and maybe in the
theater).
"Satyricon" was not actually a bad
film, it was just disappointing
in
comparison to Fellini's other works. I
also feel that it's his only depressing
film,
and by no means a literal
adaptation of the book.
I did not write the cult film article to
win friends, yet I hear a lot of folks out
there are very angry with me. I did not
mean to make enemies either, but
maybe that's the price you pay when
you take a stand or express your
opinions. I hope you understand.
Yours for the works,
T.J. Simpson
P.S. You will also be happy to know
that the above response is my final say
on this subject. Enough is enoughl And
thanks, Gary and Ken, for responding.

More Money!

To the students:
At its meeting on January 11, the
Board of Trustees moved to allow
voluntary student contributions to the
Evergreen Foundation and to have the
idea be transmitted to students for their
discussion. The motion goes on to say
that, if students are interested in a
voluntary
contribution
to
the
Foundation, a mechanism could be
developed for this purpose, perhaps as
part of the registration process.
A concern expressed at the Board
meeting was that most students did not
know of the existence or purpose of the
Evergreen Foundation and Board of
Governors. The Foundation
is the
fund-raising arm of the college This
past year, the Foundation funded 40
scholarships, assisted the admissions
office by providing discretionary funds
for recruitment purposes, and in many

other ways assisted the college in areas
where state funds cannot be used.
At the Board meeting, Provost Youtz
sugg_estedthat the student body might
want to consider ways of designating
the voluntary contributions of students
to scholarships, student lo~ns, or other
activities benefiting students directly.
Administrative costs of the program
would be absorbed by the college so
that all funds would
go to the
designated purposes.
As a way to receive your reaction
and advice, I'd like to have you discuss
and pass along your comments to Les
Eldridge,
who is overseeing
the
operation of the Development Office
until a director can be selected, His
office
is Library

I'm
a new student
here at
Evergreen doing a typical freshman
shuffle trying.to fig11r.eout how best
. to use mv-:.f\eW "5c:hool.t say "typical
freshman" instead of "typical first year
student" because so many of you "first
year" people seem to have been
around before-at least elsewhere, and
have a sense of what you want and
how best to get it.
I've been told by a number of
people, including. my parents, that the
best way to use a school is to find out
which faculty are worth knowing and
then sign up for whatever it is they
teach. I'll take this theory with a grain
of salt, but it nonetheless stands to
reason that some people are easier to
learn from than others. My quest right
now is to discover which faculty I
should try to gravitate towards and
whom I am better olf avoiding. And
this, dear readers, is where you cane
in.
I am requesting that if there are
faculty here with whom you have had
particularly 6 ood or bad experiences,
that you write
me a brief note
expressing this. Criteria that I am
particularly. interested in are: ability
to lecture, ability to facilitate discussion, ability to organize and structure
activities, and_ concern for th~ wellbeing of the student.
What's in it for you! Well, If I get
enough response I'll be able to put
t011ether the first All New Evergreen
Underground
f acuity Guide. Then
you, coo, could reap the benefits of my
published research.
I think it's pretty clear that in order
for this information to have any wath
at all, it must be generated from
first-hand experience, not hearsay. I'm
not looking for the "most popular"
faculty, but rather those persons who
have personally warmed the cockles of
your heart. (Or is that gooeyducksl)
In any case I urge yoo to take just a
few minutes to flash on your best and
worst experiences with faculty here at
Evergreen, jot down their names, and
if possible try to define what made
them distinctive in your life. If you
want
to let me know
who is
outstandingly
mediocre, I'll accept a
few of those, too. for all my joking,
I'm serious about this so please help.

Did you know that there is no fall
program
specifically
designed for
students interested in creative writing
and literary history/ We're a group of
students trying to remedy this. About
20 ol us have joined together with the
aim of establishing a course in creative
writing and modern English literature.
The course will be a three-quarter
coordinated study. The major focus of
the class will
give students
an
environment in which to develop their
individual
writing
styles, to find
audiences for their particular works,
and to get into print. These activities
will
be aided by our study
of
important English literary works and
authors from 1650 up to the present.
The literary history presented will be
combined with a socio-cultural analysis
of how English literature during this
period has changed and been changed
by its surrounding societies.
Students interested in both poetry
and prose make up our group, and
attention will be paid to the authors,
themes, and changing styles ol both
fields. About half of all planned
activities will consist of writing
in
workshops and criticizing each other's
works. The other half ol all scheduled
course events will include lectures,
which will link our creative writing
with modern literary traditions, with
literary criticism, and with a soci<>
cultural
study of writing's
development and· applications in Western
society.
Major novels, short stories, and
poetry of the periods stretching from
1650 to the present will be read, along
with a basic text studying the social
implications of literature. fall Quarter,
we'll study the seminal writings of the
,(

..

,,,,,

period from 1850 to 1914; Winter
Quarter,
from 1914 to 1960; and
Spring Quarter will enable us to study
the outstanding authors of the 60's and
70's.
Interested students are urged to get
involved and help plan the course. A
group
meeting
to
get
people
acquainted with each other, share
objectives,
and further
refine the
course proposal
will be held on
February 7th, at ASH 132, at 6:30
p.m. Bring your ideas about good
books to read, teachers you'd like to
have, and, if you like, snacks.

Researching the
Women's Clinic

Dan Evans is doing wonderful P.R. for
us, or maybe to us. A state legislator
wants to play racketball before work so
he talks to good ol' Dan who calls
Claybaugh who calls Pete Steilberg and
suddenly the Rec Center is open in the
morning from 7 to 9 a.m. weekdays.
Money "appears" from the President's
discretionary fund to pay for this, but
the swimming pool is not included.
Maybe there is not enough money or
maybe the state legislator does not
happen to want to swim in the
morning.
Where will the money come from to
continue the morning service after the
legislators leave? It probably won't.
That is, until the legislators come back
two years from now.
Dan gets another call, this time from
the Thurston County Sheriffs. The
sheriffs and deputies should not be

required to pay the full price for the
Rec Center permits. A few phone calls
and they are given special privileges.
Students have posted a petition on
the first floor of the Rec Center on the
bulletin
board next to Equipment
Check-Out. Students want the swimming pool to be open as well as the
rest of the center in the mornings.
Wouldn't it be nice if students could
just call Dan Evans who could just
make a few phone calls!
The Rec Center has not publicized
the new morning service and so not
very many students know about it.
Wouldn't it be a surprise if at the end
of the legislators' stay in Olympia the
service were suddenly terminated because "the students aren't using it"l Are
you going to be surprised if it happens?
Isn't it nice that Dan is doing such a
nice job representing Evergreen/

Climbing the Wall
The Evergreen climbing wall, disguised as the Rec Center wall which
~aces the Communications Building, is
on the process of being improved.
Formerly a flat expanse of concrete
the wall is being fitted with varied
stone, wood, and iron formations in
o~.der to more accurately
simulate
duferent terrains encountered in rock
climbing.
The wall is open to use by Evergreen
students and their guests, the only
st,pulat,ons being that solo climbers
must have a ground support person
and t_hat climbers be able to get up th~
wall on the first place (the first hold is
ten feet off the ground). Students
interested in helping with the ongoing
task of improving
the wall should
contact Lloyd Johnson, student coordinator of the project.
At

The Place
You Are Alway, Wei-el

Never before coming to Evergreen had I seen so many lounges
in so little space. These lounges,
found throughout every building
on campus (with
the glaring
exception of the dorms, of all
places), are real nice; why, they
even approach decadence. Little
living rooms to sit dow-n and relax
in. Chat with a friend, read a
book, figure out the meaning of
life, space out, watch people these lounges present a multitude
of potential uses.
But what of those weird little
lounges to be found in every
women's bathroom? These are tiny
rooms comprised of four cement
walls, one ceiling with accompanying light fixture, a floor, and
one short, plastic (it doesn't even
pretend to be anything but plastic;
not even Naugahide) chaise longue
(yes, "longue-"
I looked it up in
the dictionary).
These women's
bathroom lounges have always
elicited
in me visions
of a
sterilized, modernized, and statefunded version of the aristocratic
16th century lady needing to rest
her fr ail self after completing the
exhausting
task of her daily
toilette.
Then I found out that the men's
bathrooms have no such lounges.
Rather than feeling that men are
being oppressed by the absence of
these useless lounges (I have yet
to see one in use) in their
bathrooms, I'd say that in this
case, women have been subjected
to yet ana.her silly notion as to
how they're
supposed to act
differently from men. A statement
on the part of the architects who
designed this place (with whom I
have a few other bones to pick)
that women can't handle what
men can? Politics are everywhere.
So are the continuing ramifications
of unthinking adherence to social
traditions. So is rhetoric. So there.

Protecting a Right
by Joyce Angell
On January 22, 1979, I sat on the
steps outside he Washington
State
Capitol
rotunda.
This, in its most
limited
context, was a reproductive
rights rally; a pro-abortion
push.
Outside milled a much larger group of
people who defined themselves as
pro-life and anti-abortion. They regarded us as pro-murder and anti-life, and

we regarded them as misled.
One woman wore a sign which
proudly
stated she had fourteen
children I wore no sign that said I had
one abortion and no children. She did
not declare how those fourteen children
affected her life, nor did I declare how
my abortion had affected mine We did
not communicate
except for silent
stares, stares of pity and anger
I was and continue to be amazed
that I was, at this rally, just like I was
at a rally s,x vears ago The difference?
Then, I was fighting for a right I did not
have Now, I am fighting tenaciously
for a right that
is being slowly
undermined
I had not resolved the
morality of abortion six years ago and I
have not resolved it yet Perhaps I
never will. for the morality issue is a
dilemma.
to choose between
the
welfare of the unborn and the welfare
of the l1v1ng Theologians and scientists
do not know when life begins or ends. I
will not pretend to know What I do
,now IS that the quality of life of those
\, ho live now 1sa prionty for me
I am not anti-life or pro-murder I am
above all else a humanist I am also
aware of the pol1t1cal and socioeconom1c issues which predominate the
struggle
to retain
not only
legal
abortion, but also Medicaid funded
abortions
for the economically
disadvantaged
The issue currently in the state of
Washington 1s not to make abortion
cnm,nal, but rather to deny Medicaid
funding fer women receiving public
assistance who desire an abortion. Most
states have alrtady denied this funding;
allowing
the gains women
have
achieved in the last six years to be
en1oyed only by women who are not
economically disadvantaged.
What are some of the implications of
this new policy?
Soc1o-econom1cally, it draws a firmer
line between classes, distinguishing
further class advantage. Simply, middle
and upper-class women will get safe,
cl1n1cal abortions
The economically

disadvantaged women will either not
have the abortion,
thus exposing
themselves to the risk of childbirth (ten
times higher than the risk of abortion in
the first trimester) and the responsibility
of unwanted children. Or, they will
search for back-alley
abortionists,
exposingthemselves to possible sterility
uterine infection, blood poisoning, and
potential death. The racial composition
of those receiving public assistance is
varied and therefore I will not call this
racial genocide. I will, however, call
this potential genocide of economically
disadvantaged women.
The majority
of those receiving
public assistance in the United States
are women with dependent children. In
V1rg1ma, a mother with two children

sliding scale. If she is unfortunate and
does not have a relative who will care
for the children, any wqes she may
have made over and above public
assistance will be eaten up by childcare
costs.
The only hope for a woman in this
circumstance
is for her children to
come of school age, and to stop having
others. Even if she uses birth control,
she runs the risk of pregnancy. Without
Medicaid funds for abortion, she either
resigns herself to the risk of a
back-alley abortion, or to increased
dependence on public assistance.
If she dies from the botched abortion
or becomes critically ill, her children
suffer. If there are no relatives who can
take the children, they become wards
of the state. If they are fortunate they
will be placed in foster homes; if they
are unfortunate, they are placed in the
modern equivalent of orphanages.By
denying poor women access to Medicaid funds for abortion, their children
also suffer.

receives S259.00 In direct benefits plus
food stamps and Medicaid. This is an
average public assistance allotment. If
this woman were to have another child,
she would receive between S45.00 and
S60.00 for additional
support (per
month) If we take the higher figure,
the total direct family income would be
S383800 per year. It does not stretch
one's mind to imagine the difficulties a
woman faces managing a family of four
on this income, nor is it difficult to
imagine the effect on the children both
socially and psychologically.
let us assume that very few women
would care to live the rest of their lives,
or at least until their children are of
school age, on this income. Most would
rather work. On minimum

this situation, who wishes to work, must
face?
Childcare 1s the primary barrier. If
she is no longer on public assistance,
she will not be eligible for daycare
subsidies. If she 1s fortunate, she lives
in an area where there are childcare
centers that administer services on a

The public's attitude seems to be that
the public assistance rolls are too large
and that it is public assistance that
increases the tax burden. Although I do
not agree, it should not be difficult for
the public to see the cost effectiveness
of abortion. It is far less expensive to
spend 550.00 on a Medicaid-funded
abortion than it is to pay S60.00 per
month until the child is eighteen. That
figure, which does not include food
stamps, Medicaid, or housing allotment,
comes to S12,960.
I detest this argument as it limits the
issue strictly to cost accounting, but it
1s a valid argument for those concerned
with cutting the welfare budget, or with
those who would rather see funds
diverted
to childcareor greater
benefits for children born and wanted.
There is another issue at hand which
cannot
be resolved
until
public
assistance is considered a right and not
a privilege. Six years ago, when the
Supreme Court declared abortion legal
and Medicaid
funds were allotted,
abortion became a right. As more and
more states remove Medicaid funding
for abortion, it once again becomes a

and erosion
... the
Community Skills Exchange!? You've got
to be 1ok1ng, Horatio. Nope, folks; there
are, as they sav. alternatives
The Community
Skills Exchange
{CSE), a bank designed
for the
transaction of skills and services (like
plumbing or beekeeping) instead of
money,
1s one such alternative
lnrorporated on January 10, 1979, and
Hheduled
to swing into operation
during the f,rst week of February, the
flC'dglmg corporation 1s a brainchild of
[ vergreen student and political organizer Paul Fink
It 1s modelled after a similar venture
(now almost two-years-old and serving
over 450 members) 1n Eugene, Oregon,
wh1eh Fink visited last spring. Similar
corporations are mushrooming in many
c1t1es across the country
In the
Pacific Northwest, exchanges have been
established in Seattle, Portland, and
Ashland as well as Eugene.
In Olympia, the CSE is only the most
rece-nt of a variety
of non-profit,
community corporations, including seVt'fal land trusts, the F.0.0.0. Co-op,
,tnd an Owner-Builder Co-op, which are

des,gned to preserve the pocketbooks
and environment of consumers instead
of stockholders.
Although fundamentally an "alternative" institution, the Olympia Exchange
hopes to attract
persons from a11
seKments of the Olympia community.
"We'd like to reach out to professionals, non-professionals, blue-collar workers, white-collar workers, housewives,
craftspeople, everybody .. " organizer
Fink explains
Prospective Skills Exchange members
simply complete a form listing the skills
they wish to offer the exchange and
wait to be contacted
by another
member who needs one of their skills
The Eugene Exchange boasts a list of
nearly six hundred such skills, from
accounting and acrobatics to windmills
and woodstove repair
There is no money involved in the
transaction,
and the CSE does not
assign a hierarchy of values to the
various skills Everything is counted in
hours, and an hour of ditch-digging is
worth
as much
as an hour of
psychotherapy in the Skills EXchange.
So there vou have it.
CSE is a corporation with no capital,
no income, and no taxes; only assets
measured in hours. "Its not," Fink
admits, "a very traditional way of doing

things." But CSE organizers, he says,
wish to promote a more egalitarian
society, one in which each person's
labor and time is valued much more
equallv than it is now.
It is this vision of an alternative
future, combined with the practical
experiences of tile Eugene Energy Bank,
which first gave Paul the inspiration to
organize a plaanning group which led
into a series of public meetings airing
the idea of opening an Exchange in
Olympia.
Maureen Krupke of the
Mason-Thurston
Community
Action
Council, a non-profit, federally funded
service organization, got wind of the
idea, and offered the CSE funding and
ottice space in return for membership
m the exchange and credit hours. For
every four dollars the Council gave the
exchange, the exchange was indebted
for one credi\ hour.
A gradual y crystallizing sroup of
skills exchange enthusiasts wrestled
with the nitty-gritty practical and legal
details of implementing
the skills
exchange concept. The group contacted
a lawyer, Jim Anest, and on January 10,
the articles
of incorporation
were
passed , and an eight member board of
directors was chosen
The CSE, unlike some orpnizations,
will be equipped
to hudle
two
different kinds of transactions: direct

privilege. Thus, the first push for public
assistance as a right and not a privilege
has been lost.
Not only do women now have to
have the money to enjoy the right to
abortion, but in many states, they must
be at least sixteen years old to have an
abortion without parental consent. To
deny a teenage female the right of
abortion without
parental consent
further limits the constitutional riahts of
minors. Apparently, abortion and Medicaid funding is only the tip of the
iceberg. What is at issue here is the
right of women over their bodies, their
right to reproduce or not to reproduce.
During the last six years we have had
the. right to control our reproductive
systems. We are losing that right, and I
am horrified at the idea of losing what
we have fought so hard to gain. If we
lose the right we will once again bear
unwanted children. Once again we will
suffer at the hands of illegal abortionists.
Many who are anti-abortion feel that
to lose the right would return morality
to sexuality and stability to the nuclear
family. Many see the loss of abortion
rights as a means of returning to the
ideal American family. There was never
an ideal American family. Poverty was
and still
is a reality
for many
Americans, although virtually invisible
to American policy makers. The nuclear
family was sometimes wonderful and
often times a seedbed of domestic
violence and psychological abuse.
Societv is changing rapidly and social
policy.is, as always, lagging behind. We
cannot return to the romanticized past.
We must look realistically to the future.
There are issues which were brought to
the forefront by the movement for zero
population growth which must not be
forgotten. We are a fnite global village
with finite resources. The death rate has
decreased and we must be concerned
with a birth/death balance or nature
will balance itself.
Reproductive
rights is a complex
issue. It involves the rights of ~n,
children, anil nien. It is an eco'ioiiA:al
issue as well as a political
and
socio-economic one. It is an issue with
which the American public must deal,
and yet (as Alvin Tattler predicted in
Future Shock) is unable to deal with
realistically because of the romantic
vision of the past.
As a speaker pointed out at the
pro-choice rally on January 22nd, we
must struggle for thee right of all
women to have control
over their
bodies. We must struggle to teach sex
education and birth control in the
schools. We must push for childcare
facilities and for guaranteed incomes.
What we are struggling for is the
quality of our lives and the lives of
each new eneration.
exchange, and indirect exchange. When
an individual
trades directly
with
another, hour for hour, that's a direct
skills exchange. For example, you are a
beekeeper with broken pipes and the
Skills Exchange hooks you up with a
plumber wh·o needs bees for her
garden. But frequently,
a direct
exchange is too limiting.
The limitations are obvious: if you
can't find a plumber who needs any
bees, what do you do! This, Paul Fink
says, is where some skills exchanges
flounder in favor of the good old
monetary system. You may be very
tempted to go ahead and hire a regular
plumber at S30.00 an hour. But wait:
here's where the "indirect"
exchange
comes into play.
In an indirect
exchange,
your
plumber can be allergic to bees,
because the Skills Exchanijc acts as a
broker between you and someone
desiring what you offer. The plumber
does her work (say it takes her three
hours). Together you fill out a credit
exchange slip which credits her for her
time, and file it with the Exchange. The
plumber is now owed three hours and
the beekeeper owes three hours to the
community.
The Exchange keeps a
running tally of your time, and limits
debit to ten hours (unless waived by

How did Third World News come
about! During a weekly meeting of the
Third World Community held a few
weeks ago, Cooper Point Joumal staff
member Paul Fink was tnere to cover
the meeting. At the time, Third World
Community members requested regular
space in the Cooper Point Joufflill to air
their news. Paul said he would take this
request back to CP)'s staff and it was
subsequently approved. Special thanks
to Paul Fink for his efforts.
The purpose of these articles will be
to inform the entire Evergreen community about what is happening with
Third World students at Evergreen. We
will also deal directly with issues that
affect the Third World at large. The
content of future articles is open to
suggestions from the Third World
community.

MECHA rs formulating
a Spanish
module for spring quarter, which will
be held during the day. We feel a
Spanish program should be available
during

Larry Sanchez is on from 4 to 6 p.m. on
Thursday bringing you lively Mexican
music. Phillip Jones, known as P.J.,
continues his Friday night jam session
from 9 to 12 p.m. with occasional
appearances by Brian Johnson.

If you walk through the Campus
Activities
Building in the next few
weeks and see a gaggle of purposefullooking students scurrying about with
sketch pads and felt pens, walk up and
tell them a thing or two. They're the
new Student Detign Team and they're
anxious to know how people want to
see the CAB redesigned to meet their
needs, tastes, likes, and whimsical
fantasies.
Under the direction of Architect Max
Knauss, a group of twentv students will
be completing the work that began with
last year's CAB II design project, and
was sparked to life by this fall's Design
Festival. Max and his volunteer student
brigade have been charged by the S &
A Board to have all the drawings and
contract documents ready to bid out to
contractors by April 15. That's only 75
days from now. But Max and the
students,
who had a meeting
on
January 29 to get acquainted, seem
confident.
The task is fairly straightforward: to
take from the ideas generated by the
CAB 11study those projects that "make
sense" within the S40,000 budget that
the S & A Board has set aside for the
CAB work. Designs and proposals that
came out of the week-long Design
Festival in December will be taken into
account as well. The list of possible
improvements is exciting, ranging from
putting a fireplace into the Street Cafe,
to getting the third floor lounge set up
as a real coffeehouse with a stage for
evening performances, to just generally
enlivening the building with plants,

trees, and comfortable furniture
One of the major proposals to come
out of the Design
festival (a 1oint
effort by the Environmental
Design,
Alternative Energy Systems, Decentralization, and Housing Design programs}
1s for a "community childspace" to be
created in the CAB. Presently, the
Driftwood Daycare facility on campus used for children whose parents wish to
see them during the day • ,s half a
storage room in the CAB basement, a
room which Design Team member Joel
Walker
described
as having
"no
sunlight;
all concrete
with
pipes
running through it, and no chance for
any interaction with other people. It's a
degrading aspect of our attitude toward
children." Students were initially concerned that, because childspace was
not part of the CAB II plans , it would
be neglected. But Max Knauss assured
the students that all proposals would be
considered.
Max who coordinated much of the
student" work on the Organic Farm, sees
himself as a consultant to the design
team. "I'm here largely to show you
how to execute what you come up
with " Max told the students gathered
Mon day. There was noticeable relief
and enthusiasm
from the students,
many of whom had expressed concern
prior to the meeting that they would be
excluded from any real planning.
One question that needs to be
resolved is whether students can do any
of the actual work on the building.
Public works contracts require that the
bidder be licensed and bonded, and

must go through this process once
every five years; Evergreen was first

The first step in the re-accreditation

process is a self-study by the institution
being evaluated. Evergreen', self study
Is currently in progress. Its goals and
procedures were drawn up by a steering

committee of students, faculty, and
staff, which met last fall. Every area of

But the emphasis, of
ourse, is on the curriculum.
I he curriculum is being reviewed by
~roups derived from the curriculum
planning subdivisions, such as Basic
Programs, Annual Programs, and each

of the Specialty Areas. There are three
other review groups dealing
with:
modules and evening programs, the
Vancouver Outreach programs, and
summer programs. Provost Byron Youtz

and the Academic Deans appointed the

groups. These

faculty then chose the students. The

Each review group Is expected to

complete a detailed report bv the end
of w,nter quarter. The content of these
reports will follow a comprehensive
outline
prepared
by the steering
comm,ttee last fall
But the actual
method of review the groups will use is
determined by each group.
The outline calls for examination of
all aspects of the curriculum within
each area. But the emphasis is on
cumcular structure and predictability.

One of the thongs being required bv the
review groups, says Youtz, "is that they
put forward
a two-year
sequential
structure which is essentially a frame
work on which the curriculum should

be hung ... The titles of the programs
that hang in there are not quite so
crucial as long as students know there
is a framework ... that's my version of

predictability."
In order to evaluate how well such
two-year structures have been or could
be set up, the review groups are
researching
the past two years of
program offerings. This will include
how well each area provides clear
educational and career pathways.
The cuestion now arises; are students

goong to be involved in the self-.tudy!
Sonce the study has not been publicized
and students working in the review
groups have already been chosen,
student input is limited to how each
group individually seeks it.
Once completed,
the curriculum
review reports will be combined with
the reports from the non-curricular

areas of the school. Copies of this will
then be sent to the members of the
committee who will do the re-accreditation

adventures was when I was eleven and
a friend and I rowed out in the Sound

deserted Blake Island and had a great
time exploring. We ended up having to

A rather dubious-sounding but actually helpful title which Thurston County
is going to be able to claim by 1960 is
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area
(SMSA). This distinction is awarded to
counties with a central metropolitan
area with over 50,000 people, and with
no more than SO percent of their
population living in contiguous civil
divisions around the city with , a density
of at least 150 people per square mile.
The advantages of being an SMSAare
similar to the RUDAT. In itself, it
constitutes no real change, but it has
the potential to overcome needless
barriers to developmental planning.
As an SMSA, Thurston County
becomes eligible for some new federal
funds. These Include funds for social
services and for transportation. In order
to receive the funds for transportation,

there must be a six-year overall plan
completed. This must include street
development and public mass transit.
The plan provides an opportunity to
overcome our current reliance on the
private auto.
Presently, six-year transportation

plans are drawn up separately by each
jurisdiction.

somewhat expert at those disciplines, at
least one of those disciplines ... is such
that it presses students into doing
things that they did not necessariiy see
themselves doing when they came into
the program. The whole structure of
coordinated studies is to push those
kinds of issues, in a setting (now I think
this is very important) where you are
not risking a lot.
Now individual contracts, to answer
the other half of your question, serve
a very important function that is not a
function of a general education. (An
individual contract provides) an avenue

(for) a piece of original study. But it
means having a very clear idea of what
it is you want to do. When you take an
individual contract, because you get
very little instructional time, you need

to be pretty well self-motivating, and
self-directing. What you get from your
faculty

member is critiquing, ... but you

don't get the same type leadership (in)
the individual contract from the faculty
that you do in the other two forms.
S: I'm not sure what you mean by
"le11denhip."
B: In a group contract,

beginning of the contract to organize it,
and to find resources, and so on. But
the week-to-week activity is much mOf'e

(a matter of critique) ....You spend an
hour, and what can you do in an hour?

So, I think my view of individual
contracts

is that

it's a very valuable

mode for doing advanced work of the
type that you have selected
for
yourself, and know where you want to
go ...and often that kind of study arises
out of some experience which you've
had in the more faculty-organized
modes.
I think it's a very unfortunate thing
when people use an individual

contract

as a way to do general studies. Because
you don't have enough contact with
people, anybody: your classmates, your
fellow students, your faculty, you don't
aet enough; it's not a rich enough
experience. And so I think it serves a
very valuable, but a much more
specific sort of self-directed function.

The controversial strike policy adopted in 1977 was dropped in favor of a
more lenient version at the Board of
Trustees meeting January 11. Written by
Assistant Attorney General Robert
Montecucco (Evergreen's lawyer), who
wrote the original policy, the new plan
was adopted with the condition that it
be reviewed at the end of the Board's
legislative session.
Before the 1977 policy, Evergreen had
no real plan in the event of a strike.
The 1977 version
gave absolute
authority to Evergreen's president and
vie~ presidents, including the power to
fire strikers. In the words of the policy,
they have "complete
and absolute
authority to make any and all personnel
decisions, including but not limited to,
decisions to fire, discipline, demote,
hire, transfer, reassign, and/or otherwise
effect (sic) the employment of persons
at The Evergreen State College."
Opposition, to this point, and to the
policy's flat out statement that "a strike
by state employees is illegal,"
has
provoked a continuing discussion oif
the issue, including
the Collective
Bargaining and Strike Policy DTF which
also drafted a policy.
The new policy simply states that
Evergreen will continue operating if
there is a strike and, if necessary, will
use supervisory staff to fill in for those
who do not cross the picket lines.
Unlike the old version, the policy does
not define "essential services" which
before had been designated as basic
school operations and classes. Striking
employees face only the loss of pay.
This is in sharp contrast to the old
policy. However, all employees who do
not have express approval
for an
absence during a strike are considered
on strike.
T~e objection to the policy so far is
that it only deals with what happens
after a strike occurs. Since the Strike
Policy DTF's report deals directly with
how to prevent strikes, an attempt will
be made to work it into the plan

temporarily adopted.
The Evergreen Federation of Teachers, in a letter to the Board, came out
against Montecucco's
Strike Cantin·
gency Plan 77-3, for the reason that it
does not directly deal with a strike and
that "it falls short of any explicit
recognition
of employees'
right to
strike, and specifically fails to protect
the rights of certain categories
of
employees to strike (e.g., steam plant
personnel, campus switchboard opera·
tors, etc.)"
Since it is illegal for state employees
to strike,
a compromise
appears
doubtful.
As the Board's decision is temporary,
at least for now, there will probably be
more controversy about, and perhaps
changes in, the strike policy.

run-down physical condition.
If you do have herpes, here ar'e some
steps that may help prevent recurring
outbreaks: stay in good general health,
eat well ( including enough B vitamins),
have conscious ways to release tension
and stress (some folks do Tai Chi, yoga,
deep breathing, take long walks, talk to
someone about what's causing the
tension. To avoid contracting
HSV,
don't take chances; make sure ybu
don't come into contact with open
sores. Herpes can be spread by hand
contact from open sores to other places
on the body. Remember HSV-1 and
HSV-2 are interchangeable; either can
break out in oral or genital areas.
If you are having sexual relationships,
find out if your partner has herpes. If
you have HSY, don't pass it on.
Condoms can help prevent infection if
you are havina
vaginal
or anal
intercourse,
but they are not 100
percent safe.
'
Use Health Services and the Women's
Health Clinic as resources to diagnose
HSV-2. It is important to be examined
when you have the -;
herpes is most
commonly and easily diagnosed by a
visual examination, although it can also
be detected
through various lab
procedures. There are a few prescription remedies that may relieve the
symptoms of herpes, but none will
eliminate the virus itself. Many folks
use non-prescription remedies that help
ease the pain, itching, and stinging. But
again, these usually treat the symptoms,
not the virus.
.
Unlike gonorrhea and syphilis which
are caused by bacteria, herpes cannot
be eradicated with antibiotics. However
it is still impoi'ta11Ito 11,veit dia&"5ed.
Government health officials estimate
that there are 300,000 cases each year
of HSV-2; because of the urgent need
to find a successful treatment for it,
some health officials say there may be
definite answers for herpes carriers in
the next five years (see Ms. magazine,
Jan. 1978, pp.36-40).
If you are interested in finding out
more about HSV-2, contact Health
Services and the Women's Health
Clinic. A workshop on herpes will be
held Monday, February 5, from 5:30 to
7:00 P.M., in the Seminar Building,
Room 4216. For more information,

Trident: Sentencing and Beyond

Skills Exchange
oontlnued from pagetouq

Eusene solved this dilemma by allowins
people to earn credit hours by staffins
the office or workins on the newsletter.
The CSE, Fink explains, is desisned to
operate entirely on this type of ad hoc
"volunteer'' labor - members ~arning
credit hours rather than money in
return for keepins the show goins.
Some members of the Skills Exchange
have the opposite problem: Too many
phone calls and too many credit hours
to their name. They can take a break
from the system (what other system
offers such advantages!) by donating
their referral card to the "hold" box for
as Ions as they like.
In the Ions run, people often wonder
about the future of organizations like
CSE. What will they accomplish! Paul
Fink tells a story about the Eusene
Exchange which illustrates some of the
potential. Several months ago the city
of Eugene was planning to demolish an
historic downtown building, The Skills
Exchange, always eager for a challenge,
and banking on the enthusiasm of its
members, proposed to the city that
they dismMtt~ rather than demolish the
building. For free. After some negotiating by Skills Exchange lawyers (paid in
credit hours)the incredulous city father$.,.
(s,c) agreed to the plan.
Two dozen exchange members worked
for oveI a thousand hours to tear the
building apart. Carbagios, an alternative
garbase collecting
agency and Exchange member, offered a warehouse
to store the materials {again, in return
for credti hours). Then the Skills
Exchange offered the materials, wood,
brick, chandeliers, rugs and all, up to
its members for a total number of hours
equal to the total hours spent on legal
negotiation, dismintling, and stora~e of
the budding
There was no pro·:it or loss to the
skills exchange The City got free work,
the Exchange got good business and a
better image, and the members got
cheap, recycled building materials in
return for their labor. The earth was a
somewhat brighter place and everyone
but ITT and the Teamsters were ea~y
about it.

From the People Who Brought
You Viet
Nam
there will be those who

continued from pege one

since most of the defendents were
committed to stoppin& Trident reaardless of the sentence. Rehabilitation was
equally irrelevant as a criterion
in
sentencing. Therefore the only rationale
for ser.ten<:ing was punishment.
'What,'' he asked, "is the proper
punishment
for an individual
who
commits no violent act, who simply
acts on conscience?"
Schwartz concluded by askins that
sentences be individual, so that the
different motives and backgrounds of
the widely disparate aroup of defendents could be taken into account.
Schwartz was followed
by Bill
Bender, who also stressed the ineffectiveness of harsh sentences as a
deterrent to movements such as this.
He suggested that sentencins
be
creative, that it force the Trident
protesters into a dialogue with their
opponents. "If proved wrong in their
own minds, none would cross the fence
again," he said.
After the attorneys finished, the
defendents were permitted to make
statements, as long as they pertained to
sentencing (a requirement that many
found hard to meet). Many defendents
spoke in support of Bender's request for
a sentence of "forced dialogue;" others
requested alternative
community
service in place of jail or fine. A few
asked that the sentences be suspended
or reduced to show support for the
movement; one person even asked
urged Judge Voorhees to resign his
position ir: support of the protesters.
(The judge chuckled at that one.)
Others chose to make more political
statements, or at least tried to. Those
who attempted
to read prepared
statements were stopped from doing so.
One woman tried tc cut off her braids
to offer the judge "as a symbol of the
powerlessness" that she felt in the
judicial system and in a sexist and
militarist culture. A marshal quickly
stepped in to restrain the woman.
Some refused to ask for any "mercy''
from the judge. As one man said, "The
anti-Trident movement doesn't need
those in this courtroom to do C.D. in
order to grow."
Evergreen student Marlene Willis

probably laid the situation out to the
judge most clearly. She said that in a
system of political democracy without
economic democracy, those who begin
to actively question the system will be
suppressed.
"You have the responsibility to break
the movement,"
she told
Judge
Voorhees. A harsh sentence would
our cause before the public and build
support.
A light
sentence
would
guarantee even more civil disobedience
action. Only a suspended sentence with
a long probationary period would have
any effect at all.
The last person to speak was Hal
Darst. He made it very clear that he
was not going to speak about his
sentencjng; he did not even consider
himself guilty.
"I'm here to speak about Trident.
Trident is the issue."
"Speak to your sentencing," the judge
ordered.
"No,sir.
I'm going to speak to
Trident."
"No, you're not.''
"Yes, I am. I will continue
speaking to Trident."
Darst continued to speak to Trident
as six very large marshals led him out
of the room.
After Darst was removed, the judge
began to read his statement. The
sentence he had decided upon
was meant as a deterrent; it was not
meant to be punitive.
"Your actions were to attack Trident.
But you also attacked something else
-the sacred rule of law."

Did we expect too much of the
decision-makina
process! Should we
have made more decisions in advance,
or should we have tried to make fewer,
leaving more to individual creativity!
Should we have given less control of
the trial to the public defenders!
Should we have taken some action in
the courtroom to show solidarity with
the five who were sentenced to jail/
How viable are affinity
groups!
Should they be abandoned, or should
they become more permanent! (My
own A.G. collapsed immediately after
the action. Only one support person
was around by the time of the trial.)
Most importantly, where do we go
from here? Do we become more
radical, or more broad-based! More
structured, or less? Do we escalate civil
disobedience, or reorient our strategy?

A spectre is haunting Evergreen-the
spectre of liberalism. All the powers of
old Evergreen have entered into a holy
alliance to cultivate
this spectre;
McCann,
Evans, Youtz, etc. The
so-called
"pink
tide"
is rapidly
developing into the major political
force on campus. But where are these
liberals! How can they be identified!
And finally,
what would a liberal
takeover of TESCresult in!
First off, as to where they are. Sadly
enough, these liberals are in the
administration, the faculty, the staff,
etc. Oddly enough though, they seem
to thrive in the student body. How, you
will ask can these liberals abound in
such g;eat numb~rs without
beins
exposed! The answer is simple, yet
ingenious, at the same time. They've
disguiled themsel- u radlcalsl I know

Each of us must ask ourselves
questions as well. How will I continue
to work to stop Tridenti How far am I
willing to carry my protest! Am I
willing to face a month and a half in
jail on top of any other sentence for
doing civil disobedience aaainl These
are difficult questions; questions I know
I have yet to answer.

There were shouts and catcalls from
the defendents throughout Voorhees'
reading of his statement.
Darst's
expulsion had made everyone anary.
The facade of the judge's generally
lenient attitude toward our behavior
during the trial had been stripped away,
leaving exposed the awful power he
had over our lives.
At least for me, the full meaning of
the Trident campaisn and its goal of a
world without violence and power did
not really hit home until that moment.
I left the courtroom feeling drained.
I I is hard to stare The System in the
face for too many hours at a time. I
went home to rest and meditate
on the meaning of what I had just gone
through.
The anti-Trident
movement faces
considerable
self-criticism
and
re-evaluation with the experience of the
May 22-23 action and the subsequent
trial behind us. The campaign raised
serious questions about the movement's
strategy and process.
There were serious breakdowns in the
consensus decision-making process at
the action. On the other hand, there
was often a feeling of too much
control,
too much suppression of
genuine feelings of anger and of
individual expressions of those feelings.
"Peacekeepers" kept us off the highway
during the demonstlation; chants were
often stopped by people who felt they
were "too violent." Any per.on could
bring an entire two mile long line of
five thousand people to silence by
merely raising a fist.

belittle my
report and bitterly contest results. Bui I
stand by my figures-90-95%
of
Evergreen's political
radicals stand
sli~htlv to the right of jerry Brown.
Identifying liberals is no longer an
easy chore. As tween became more
popular, and the pipe grew obsolete,
liberals tended to blend with others of
mixed political beliefs. Particularly here
at TESC where being liberal os not ,n
vogue, a new set of ~uidelines is
required to sort out hberals from
conservatives and radicals. Printed
below is an extremely efficient set of
rules to help you do just that:

10 Waming Signs of liberalism

Death by Ice

Yesterday this guy walked into the
CPJ office and told me there was an
ice-age on. I told him he'd gone
bananas.
"Youve got the wrong office," I said.
''The Daily O is downtown. Besides,
there hasn't been a cold day in three
weeks now."
''The thaw's just temporary," the man
assured me. "Let me introduce myself.
He extracted a card from his Eddie
Bauer expedition parka: "Dr. Benjamin
'blowtorch' Propane, DOSS".
"Your credentials are very impressive,
Dr. Propane, but what evidence do you
have!"
.
"Have you heard of the ICE report!"
Propane asked.
I thought for a moment. "ICE. That
stands for Intercollegiate Council on
Ed4cation," doesn't it"
Ptopane shook his head. His voice
slipped to a whisper: "Institute for
Cryogenic Education."
"Oh," I .said, somewhat mortified by
the Dr.'s revelation. 'What's that!"
Propane eyed the newly-cluttered
newspaper office for any evidence of
espionage or wiretap. ''They've been
around for a long time, but they
haven't been very active in the last
15,000 years... Robert Frost worked for
them in public relations. You know the
poem,'ice is nlCE...T'
"God," I said, "just a minute." I
turned my tape recorder on: "Dr.
Propane, what does ICE want with
Everareen?"
"ICE is a conspiracy to put Evergreen
in the deep freeze," the Dr. said. "First,
elect a homecoming queen ... you've
already done that ..."
'We have! Who!"
'What!"
'Who did we elect!"
"Anna Schlecht,"the Dr. said. "Dean
Clabaugh didn't show up for the
debate."
'Who is Anna Schlecht!"
"Anna used to be a card carryina

anarch~feminist,"
Propane said. "But
I'm afraid she's sold out to the lure of
collegiate prestige and big-money and
has, been reduced to a pawn of ICE, a
tragic ICE princess."
"Cod " I said. ''That's terrible ..."
"It's 'only the tip of the iceberg,"
Propane interrupted. He lit up a pipeful
of Douwe Egbert's Amphora. "Before
you know it, Evergreen will be field_ing
a varsity football team and hiring
cheerleaders with S&A funds ...You've
got to realize what we're up against;
ICE is international
and very well
organized. In some cases glaciation has
proceeded beyond repair. Have you
ever heard of the metric system?
Homogenized milk! Star Wars! Evergreen is only the most recent victim."
"But why us," I asked. "Why
Evergreen?"
"Evergreen is one of the last outposts
of skeptical, free thinking ..." Propane
said.
I nodde<l in agreement.
"You Evergreeners don't believe just
anything that just anybody tells you;
you keep up with what's gorng on m
the world, and you aren't apathetic. I
have a lot of faith in you. That's why
I've come: I'm trying to warn you
before it's too late ..."
And with that, Dr. Propane turned
and hurried from ·my office., "Good
luck," he shouted, retreating past the
ice-cream vending machines and up the
CAB stairs leaving me alone with my
tape-reco;der
and my ttpewriter,
I
replayed the interview. A cold sweat
broke out on my forehead;
Dr.
Propane's prophetic words numbed me
with existential fear. How can you
combat something like ICE!, I asked
myself. ICE is international,
ICE is
everywhere. Why even bother doing a
'futures' Issue of the CPI!
That's when Anna Schlecht walked
into the office. 'Who are youl" I asked,
"And what are you doing with those ice
skates!"

Takeover
Every dav and every night the liberal
community of TESC comes closer to
reaching its final goal: a complete
takeover of the school. And what, you
will want to know, does this mean for
the rest of us! The changes will be too
great to list entirely but let me present
a scenario: Dan Evans will become
head of the Third World Coalition,
Evergreen will be the first school to
have a backgammon
team, EST,
Lifespring, etc., will become the only
student organizations.
The Rolling
Stones will be banned from KAOS. All
chocolate
milk privileges will be
cancelled. But this will only be the
beginning. Eventually, Evergreen will
become known as ''The Marin County
of the Northwest". Tuition will skyrocket and everyone will drive Volvos
and wear puka shells. The new student
body will make the present one look
diverse.
