"MOVING TOWARD A

By Tim Nogler
"We're accelerating our return to

talked with Beryl, a member of the faculty planning group which designed
Evergreen's curriculum in 1970, about
the Evergreen experiment.
We at in hi.s office for the interview.
Beryl rocked incessantly in his chair as
we talked. His thick, black-rimmed
gll.!lses. propped on hill forehead, fell to
his nose. He lifted them, and they fell
again.
He de cribed his background. During
the mid-sixties he taught at OSU, in an
honors science seminar, with s curriculum closely a~proxiJnaling that of Evergreen. "It exposed me to what I think is
lhe best way to teach, in any discipline .. Co-ordinated studies is the prime
educational mode," he said.
I asked him my only prepared question: "Isn't one of the concepts (of coordinated studies), in the reading. to

The monolithic aummit of Annapurna

above the clouds at an alt.itude of
26,493 feet, mu.i.ng it the world's tent.h
highest peak. In the fall of 1978, th.is
Himalayan peak. was scaled by an allwoman team led by Or. Arlend Blum, a
PhD biochemiat. from the University of
Califomia. It wu th lint tim that an
all-women, alJ American team had scaled
an 8000-meter m11unt&in(8000 meter■ is
a "magic number" for climbera).
M.. Blum, who started climbing u an
uodergnduate 1t11dent at Reed College,
gave a alide show pr ntation Monday
night to a capacity crowd in the Recital
Hall She uid that she originally conceived of th project u a response to the
aocia1 preaaul'tlS against women climbers
in ~n rat. and particularly the repeated
failure of women to be included on major
expeditions.
Fundr&ising for the women's team and
selection of t.eam members began in

on high alt.itud experience ud personal
compatability.
One member. Alison
Chadwick, bad climbed G&1h rbrum S
(26,090 ft..) without oxygen.
The team of ten climbers, five male
Sherpas and about 200 porters. left
Pokhara on August 15, 12 days and 80
miles from Annapurna. Following the
French route, they reached the planned
base camp (14,800 ft.) on August 26. The
north aid or the main Annapurna glacier

day ■ later, From that vantage point the
French route teemed obviou IJ' danger•
oua,
t.be team decided on a diffen1nt
rou
that the Dutch established in
1'76. Though th entailed greater dif·
r>CUlty,it wu deemed safer due to the
reduced avala
buard.
Camp 2 wu r"cbed on Sept.. 2, and
upward progreq wu delayed for a cettmony without wJllcbthe Sherpas felt the
'°
mountain could not be climbed. Ten days
later.climbers Piro Y.ramar and Vera
Wat.son ettacked the steep ,(60°1 ice
above Camp 2. A severe snowstorm and
avalanche winds forced the two back inl.o
thi,ir tent for two days, the monotony
being broken only by jokes radioed up
every half hour. During a brea.k in the
storm, the two climbers retreated back
to Camp 1, where they thankfully remained for a few days, before returning
to dig out Camp 2.
Subsequently, Camp SA wu established, ud more heavy load-carrying
ensued. In order to save time, the climber left some gear cached, which aeemed
like a sensible idea at the tune. However, on Sept. 26 they made the depressing discovery that their cache was the
site of Annapurna's latest crevasse.
Much of their technical gear had been
lost, but enough surplus was aerounged
up to continue the climb.
T.he nex.t da.,-Camp S was set up on
a knife-edge ridge at 21,000 feet.. A Sherpa strike again delayed further progress
until Oct. 8. By late afternoon of that
day the team had arrived at a sheltered
crevasse at 28,000 feet, where they located Camp 4. Margi volunteered 'to
establish Camp 6 with the Sherpas, and
the first summit team of Piro, Irene
Miller and V ra Komarkova moved into
Camp 4. The same day that Camp 5 was
set up, Margfs foot froze and she Wl.!I
forced Lo abandon the climb. The radio
broke. the sherpa■ were sick, and morale
had been d alt a rioua blow.
The summit team and two Sherpas
were ready to go at 6 a.m. on Oct. 16,
when Piro noticed h r finger, frozen,
protruding through a 1mall hole in her
glove. She decided to drop out of the
summit att mpt. By 10:30, the remaining members were moving 1wiftly

SOCCER COACH FIRED

The action came u a result of Raznevich's participation in a match agaiMt
Central University's socC?er club. The
coach entered the game following a Joal
~ed
by Central, and played for SO
minutes.
"[ had informed him before the game,
verbally and in writing, that I did not

did not wanL him playing in any

In a statement released by Raznevi<:h,
the former geoduck coach claimed, "Mr.

I did not play, but didn't tell me that if I
ever played he would fire me."
Raznevich hu not resigned yet. "I
didn't resign because I don't feel guilty
I'U accept being f1red." Steil berg expre~ ./•o'?e concern over firing Ivan,
saying, Hes a coach. That's the way he

that on his record."
. Although Raznevich is "ready any

CLOSING UP SHOP
To the Editor:
Due to a total lack of interest the
Men's Center closed last week. I felt the
S&A funds I requested last year would
get more use elsewhere. Also, I don't
have extra time to waste trying to get
films, discussion groups. and speakers
for a cause virtually no Evergreen men
earl' about Men·s· Liberation. It is a
pity. for women's liberation becomes an
impotent radical thrust without men
meeting women halfway. Being a liberated woman is pointless if men still feel
trappt>d in the roles th.1t oppress women.
I co-ordinated the Men's Center last
year with the help of Dan Botkin. We
tried "aliantly to raise the interest of
Evergreen men in the Men's Center.
Only one other man showed serious
interest in our activities. Near the end I
took on drastic tactics; I wrote an angry
letter to the CPJ to get an article of 011rs
printed advertising the weekly Men's
!""Oup,and I advertised a Men's Center
film r.ight as SEX movies. (If that
d0t>·n't raise interest what will?)
This year nobody bothers to even read
the Men's Center mail. The Work/Study
position of IO hrs/wk. $3.50/hr. remains
untouched. I work at Thurston Youth
Sc•rvices with my workstudy allotment,
and Dan told me he "didn't war. t to push"
to get nowhere with the job.
The office remains locked, unstaffed,
uncared for. I tool the sign down to st.op
p!'ople who tacked derogatory remarks
about "hetro male privilege" to the door.
or others who drew homosexual symbols
on our sign.
I don't consider the closure as a sad
ending. When Evergreen men need or
desire a center to support the change of
sex roles in our society we can open
again. For now our funds can sustain the
Human Rights groups low budgets, or
generate new programs.

HEY YOU, WITH
THE CRAYON!
To the Editors,
We are writing this letter to whomever is scrawling "sexist" all over Women's events posters (in addition to scrawling "bias" all over Mecha posters) in
hopes of generating some dialogue. If
your strong opinions carry you only so
far as to anonymously deface posters.
thl'n maybe this is a wa te of time. But
if you, or the many others who share
your strong opinions, have put any kind
of thought into your poster-defacing
campaign, then we urge you to risk discussing your opinions in a more open
format. such as the CPJ. Hopefully, such
a format will allow for more dialogue
than does your present mode, which only
sends a current of "my god-men can be
such jerks" through the women's community. and leaves you with some smug
sense of accomplishment.
This issue, "Is women's space sexist?,"
ha become either tedious, offensive or
absurd to those who have seen it come
up year after year. More so. it seems
ironic that it's alway, women who have
to pour out the time and energy to explain what male sexism and hetero-
I
ETTERS.,___-~'
sexism is all about, and why we need
women's space. We encourage everyone
to read back through the old issues of
the CP J to see the letters that women
have been writing over the years.) Each
time something like the poster defacings
occur, we wonder "Why the hell don't
men write letters!, Why isn't the Men's
Center addressing this!!" Even with so
many "femininist" men on campus, it
seems rare to find men willing to confront other men on their sexism, and

make the commitment to work through
that sexism.
Because Evergreen is a "new frontier"
for so many people, when they first come
here their first impressions of the highly
visible gay community, non-traditional
sex roles. women's space, etc .. make for
a lot of culture shock. Ea.ch person who
goes through that culture shock has to
find some way to deal with it-by talking, observing, reading or lashing out.
Changing one's attitudes about sex roles,
finding out how subtle and insidious
sexism is takes a long time. An impor·
Lant part of that changing is being con•
fronted on oppressive attitudes, and getting support and encouragement
to
change. Actions like the poster defacing
make it almost impossible to offer that
support, confrontation and encouragement.
There _isa profound need to thrash out
these issues each time they arise, because every individual's personal changes
are essential to any scheme of social
change. In that spirit. we urge you to
find other ways of expressing and hopefully discussing your views, ways that
don't ruin the hard work of others. We

also urge that more men begin to take
active roles in dealing with these issues.
The next time you whip out your red
crayon to deface a women's poster, take
the lime to read it and think about why
that particular event is happening. And
you'd better look over your shoulder,
because there are a lot of angry women
who don't like your tactics.

AWAKE. GEODUCKS
To the editor:
As the decade ends, we wonder what
the 1980's will bring. Obviously a continuation of blatant inequalities such as
sex.ism and racism throughout the world.
And apathy, as the cliche goes, is rampant. Even at TESC, the politie&.Icommunity seems to be fading into dormancy.
One casualty or our inactivity this year
is E.P.l.C.-the
Evergreen
Political
Information Center-which
in the past
sponsored a film series, guest speakers
on campus (from the RCP to John SpeUmant and cultural events (the San Francisco Mime Troupe for examplet. E.P.J.C.
has also provided a place for discussion
of current political issues.
The normally active political community lies dormant, and E.P.I.C. is suffering. Awake! Awake, Geoducksl We need
to work together to get E.P.I.C. back on
its feet. E.P.I.C. meets every Monday at
5 p.m. in Library 3220. There will also
be a potluck to get things rolling again
for all interested at ASH 51 Thursday,
November 15, at 7:30 p.m. For more

Hi ls,
Just a musical note to let you know
that my name was speUed wrong again.
Philips only hllll one I.
The musical upect of this note isn't all
about that spelling, though. It is about
the magic of extremism. We now have
school colors and a school mucot. WeU,
why not a school flower or other identifying elements? The school motto,
"Omnia Extares," means "Let it all hang
out" (in very loose Latini and letting
that be the guide, I'm going to go out on
a limb (of Pine) and suggest a few nested
loops to Cit into TESC's program. So,
here comes my musing.
First, how about an official Gceener
greeting? "Hi" is my suggestion because
stories follow introductions and, once
past, become histories so that we then
have a realization of a hVstory in the
present. Also, why begin things with
owing hell (hello)? Sounds like it'd be
logical to say heavenhigh as well-or an
inflected "halo."
And how about a school stone-a
Greener rock, so to speak? I would suggest we adopt the "firestone" as symbolic. At first this may sound bemused, but
syllablization can show the why of the
propcsition: fir/est/one. After all, one of
the states of the Evergreen is fir. (I
don't mean to suggest here that we
name our mascot Douglas Duck, either.)
Thanx for _y<lurcontinued pollishness,

CLAIMING
DEPENDENCE
To the Editors,
Re: the feeling on the part of some
men that all-female events or spaces are
sexist.
Most men tend to get scared when
women do anything (serious) separately
because they have depended on women
so much. You may think that just the
opposite is true-that
we have always
depended on men-but I think it would
be more accurate to say that we learned
to act dependent in order to please men.
Dependency has been associated with
femininity. But when I look at what is
happening now, I see many, if not most
women throwing off the burden of expectations that we should act in certain
ways. And what seems to be surfacing is
men saying, "hey, you're not acting the
way we want you to act." And there lies
your dependency on us.
It would be really nice to see more
men sharing and supporting among yourselves, especially about the "left out"
feelings or feelings that women won't
love you, or whatever the feelings are.
It's always embarrassing to be honest
about fears at Cirst (especially for men)
but very freeing In the end-for all of us.
I also want men to know that you can
come to the Women's Center and I (at
least) would be willing to talk about
. what you feel is sexist.

AGAINST
A WOMAN
VIOLENCE AGAINST
WOMEN ON PAPER
To the letter department:
I'm getting irritated. The jerk who is
writing all over women's event posters is
getting worse. I'm also getting nervous.
I tend to think the escalation of violence
against women on paper is going to get
out of hand.
I don't want to give this person very
much attention. I especially don't want
women to give this person much attention, because it's probably the loss of
attention by women that is freaking
him/her out.
I do want to use this person's ignorance u a catalyst for rauing the issues
involved in sexism. I see people responding to the writing on the Women's Film
Conference posters. I am pleased that
people are interested in thinking and
co1omunleating about sntsm. HoWever. I
would rather that graffiti be contained to
walls, bathroom or otherwise. It is getting inefficient to carry on dialogue on
our posters.
To the person doing the original defacing: I honestly think you are being
irresponsible about your criticism of
women's spaces. Write to the CPJ. Come
to the Women'• Center and talk wit.h ut.
Post a sign and rl!queat comment.I. But
stop writing on our signs and posters,
because you're detracting from our measage, and your misogyny is apparent in
the anger with which you mutilate women on paper.
In a literal sense, your Ideal! about
sexism are true, but it doesn't apply to
social reality. In the sense that sexism
means to distinguish between women
a.nd men-the Women's Center and other
women's spaces are sexbt. But the social
reality is that women are oppreued to
varying degrees in all cultures of this
world. We are oppreaaed by MEN. As
long as women do not have the same
access to jobs, u long u women do not
h.1ve the same access to political and
economic control, and u long u women
are thought of and treated a■ leu than
human, then there will be the need for
women to collect among themselves; for
validation, for support, for strength, and
for gaining control over our bodies and
our lives.
Yes, men are oppressed. The sex roles
men are expected to fill are suicidal and
unhealthy. But men alao benefit from sex
roles in a way that women do not, because men's roles include power. So get
together, all you uptight men, and redefine YOUR roles. Don't get upset
because women are helping THEMSELVES. I won't hold your hand while
your foot is on my neck holding me
down. Get off me, or I'll throw you off
and spit in your face. I'm not about to
support your struggles as long as you
benefit from my blood.

AND AGAIN
playing political football
By Andy McCormic
The end of the soccer season was
thrust upon us. It was a banal and dramatic time; the coach had been f1red.
The details of this dull affair would
h.1rdly be worth going into except that
they carry implications for TESC of
greater consequence than the mere fielding of a soccer team.
What led to Ivan Raznevich's forced
resignation? The official explanation is
that in a game with Central Washington
he inserted himself into the line-up when
Pete Steilberg had told him not to dare
to do so. The reason? Because Pete, and
presumably others in the administration,
felt we were getting a bad name by
having the coach play. Especially when it
seemed we'd lose.
I. for one, am glad to see he's gone,
but I think he's been canned in a rather
shabby fashion and for many of the
wrong reasons.
Dropping these idle grudges, why not
begin with a little history of Evergreen
soccer. Prior to this season we played as
a club in a local league. "Club" means
that we more or less formed a team out
of those who showed up for practice.
This included members of the community, many of whom had graduated from
TESC. Last fall there were enough players to form two teams; anyone who was
sincerely interested in playing had an
opportunity. The teams were divided
according to skills and experience.
In last spring's general panic of activ-
ity, a decision was reached to implement
an intercollegiate athletic program. This
meant the club would become a team and
play under N.A.J.A. regulations which,
among other things, do not allow nonstudents to play. Moreover, a coach
would be paid and by 1980 the Geoducks
would be in a conference with the soccer
giant, Seattle Pacific. The coach turned
out to be Ivan Raznevich.
The questions, however. that beg an
answer have little to do with Ivan. They
are: Why are we spending the money for
a coach, uniforms, press agent and generally getting fierce about the game? ls
it that winning really will draw hordes of
students? Is it that national soccer fame
will save the Geoducks Crom extinction?
Do we have an obligation as a state
college to be competitive in sports?
Nobody seems to know.
Pete Steilberg says Dan Evans is appointing some sort of athletic board and
their first task will be to determine the
philosophical stance to be taken by Evergreen towards recreation and intercollegiate athletics. But this action comes in
November. Or about six weeks after the
men's soccer team started training.
In the meantime, then. Ivan did about
what might be expected: he tried. often
brutally, to win. He only lost once, One
had only t.o browse through his qualifications and listen briefly to bis attitude
about winning. to know that victory uber
alles was his intent. After all. that's how
the pros do it in the Old World. Ivan
could not have been expected to coal'h in
a way different from his background. His
background taught him to win at all
costs. He was the wrong man for the
position.
Where did he err?
For one, it might be pointed out that
winning, raising one's level of skills, and
even having a grand old time to boot are
not incompatible. But when Ivan played
with us, his rabid tendencies had the
most docile among us ready to stuff a
ball down his throat. He made us tense.
Secondly, his vaunted soccer sense
wasn't such great stuff for players of our
abilities. At one half-time conference he
berated us on our lack of aggression. a
point well taken, but entirely neglected
to tell us how to stop our midfield from
crumbling under pressure. He often
scorned our talents which, though under·
,tandable. wasn't, you know. cool.
Third, many players came lo many
practices without ever seeing game time.
Fourth, how seriously could we take
.he whole idea of becoming part of a pro'{l'am that, if it is to succeed at all next
,eason, should not have anything to do
with us, but ratlier rely on new and
more gifted blood.
Enough drivel. Soccer is meant to be a
riot. Instead we find ourselves embroiled
in arguments of a vastly trivial nature.
Last time I checked, the game was
played on a mud-sunk field and the object was to put the silly little ball into
the net.
That might be worth remembering.
SPELLMAN SPEAKS
By Joa Tedd
King County Executive John Spellman.
an undeclared candidate for governor,
visited Evergreen last Friday for an informal question-and-answer
session.
pellman was the Republican nominee
for governor in 1976 but was defeated by
Dixy Lee Ray.
During the process of fielding questions Spellman offered the following
opinions on various issues affecting the
state:
Energy Polley. "There is no energy
policy in this state. We have one-half of
Oregon's energy budget, yet we have a
much larger population. Governor Ray
has gone through four energy directors,
which is just one reason the state's
energy policy under Governor Ray lacks
coherence."
Spellman says that he "totally disagrees" with Dixy Lee Ray who, he said,
thinks energy conservation is useless.
Spellman promised he would emphasize
energy conservation and solar power; he
feels that nuclear power has been over·
emphasized at their expense. Mr. Spellman favors direct grantsforconservation.
and solar demonstration project.I tlll well
as loans and loan guarantees to small
businesses to encourage the production
of needed solar equipment. He claims t.o
favor a decentralized approach to the
state's energy problems.
~ergreea.
Mr. Spellman assured the
audience that he was "pro-Evergreen."

"Enrolling more students is kind of

Pres. Dan Evans
To The Editor:
I have just finished reading T. J.
Simpson's review of Bob Dylan's new
album, Slow Train Coming. Simpson's
review of the album, musically, was
good. I enjoyed him putting it in an
historical context. I'm an older and longtime "Dylanologist," myself, having cut
my musical teeth on Dylan's early 60's
albums. The comment I do have to take
issue with is Simpson's declaration
". . there is nothing worse than a bornagain Christian .... " I could tolerate his
other anti-Christian comments (We all
still have a right to say what we think),
but this was a blatant display of a very
prejudiced attitude. I wall rather surprised to see a comment like that in the
publication of such a haven of liberality
as Evergreen. ln this age of supposed
tolerance and acceptance I must deplore
Simpson's attitude. I wonder what the
response might have been had he said,
" ... there is nothing worse than a
woman ... " or " ... there is nothing
worse than a Chicano ... "? It seems to
me anti-discrimination act.I include references to color. aex, nationality and
relipm. I feel an obligation to point out
what I see as a dangerously discriminatory attitude.
Sincerely,
Pene Spew
Governor Ray. "If you want to know
what I would do differently from Govt'rnor Ray the answer is everything
what she does is a disaster."
Growth. Managing the problems associated with the state's rapid growth is the
most important issue facing the stale in
the near future, Spellman said.
Housing Crisis. Spellman believes that
government should consider playing a
more active role in preserving and ex·
panding our stock of low-cost housing.
"This wouldn't be competing with private enterprise. Private enterprise isn't
doing anything to meet this need."
Income Tu.
pellman opposes a state
income tax.
Initiative 61 (the Bottle Bill). "I support the bottle bill and I was surprised
that I have received threatening phone
calls on it."
Nuclear Power. "Nuclear power just
isn't going to be able to meet the energy
needs of this state. We ca.nnot afford the
investment that nuclear power requires
. There is now a great opportunity to
build a statewide consensus th.1t nuclear
power isn't practical at this time."
Plaget Power. He thinks that Puget
Power's letter to the P.U.D. requesting
a rate increase "was pathetic" and that
present rate payers should not be made
to bear the cost of Puget Power's future
construction.
Stadetat•. Spellman said there was
"nothing more insulting" than Governor
Ray's treatment of students in inviting
Lbem...i.A
lo .wiWlee8-4he-~i!ntttg'7)f • mil
and then vetoing it.
WllderHH Areu. Mr. Spellman supports the expansion of wilderness artas
and continued f('deral ownership of those
lands. He says that more usable timber
and recreation land is lost to development and new highways than is set aside
for wilderness areas.
Though generally frank in hi answers.
Mr. Spellman was less clear in his
<lnswer to a quesliQn about where his
financial hacking was coming from. He
said that he would "Go to thousands of
people" and that as far as the size of
contributions is concerned, "It would be
nice if they could sort of limit them~elves."

I had a hard time picturing this in the
U .. A. I asked, "Economically, how do
you think that would fit into the American capitalist society?"
Beryl spoke in his deep, unwavering
voice: "Damned if I know. But I think
that we better start dealing with those
problems soon. because if we continue to
live from a capitalistic perspective, that
man's utility and purpose is defined by
work. then to me the only reliable solution for the future is to build giant
Buchenwalds. and every time someone
loses a job, or we, in our more lustful
moments produce another individual for
whom there is no useful role in the
society. then we simply incinerate them."
Shocked, I said, "Do you view that as
a realistic alternative, I mean that seems
pretty extreme!"
"I view it as a nightmare," Beryl responded. Then he claimed these conditions already exist. "A ghetto is nothing
but an inhumane duchenwald. If you can
confine people to never having a job.
then all you're doing is killing them by
slow degrees. There's a sense in which it
is much more inhumane to do that over
the course of 30 years than in two
minutes
I protest1c:,, being a true-blue American: "That's a very prevalent attitude
though, the puritan work ethic, I'd say
that most people in our society feel that
way .. "
A little annoyed. he said. "Indeed. but
the point I was making was that I
thought at Evergreen and in the coordinated studies we'd established a
format on which the educational system
didn't have to ride these myths and misperceptions, and could begin to turn it
around. It seems to me that every society has to have institutional strangers
if an educational system has any
role in modern society, except the most
trivial kind of technical training, then it
is to play the stranger for society, to
pose alternatives that don't grow out of
the dominant ethic of the society."
Expressing disappointment with Evergreen's move toward "Brand x·· education. Beryl concluded, "I suppose the
point of Evergreen, and my disappointments with it, and its change in direction, is a cautionary note that the cultures are a total system and they can't
1w beat."
I Oipped the tape over. and asked
Beryl to talk about the program he will
teach next fall. Neolithic Roots of the
Human Condition. He started with a
description of his past Leaching, and then
related that to his plans for next year.
"There is a continuity to aU of the
programs I've done. Starting out with
Politics, Values and Social Change ...
Then that -alerted me to what became
the perspective for Power and Personal
Vulnerability, where it seemed to me
the problems of modern society were
built around irreconcilable opposites ..

ourselves into the boat., where we are
willing to make choices between two
good values, to choose one and ignore
the other. That led me to the program I
did on Modern Evil. I started out saying
modern evil started with the Protestant
reformation, then I moved back to believing it started with the fall of Rome,
then I went on sabbatical to try and
write the book, and it seemed to me it
started with the Greeks.
"Then when I came back a.nd did The
Beryl Crowe
Human Condition, the things we read
absolutely convinced me that modern
evil began with the invention of the
dagger in the Bronze Age ...
"As a part of that, I began to get clues
from a number of different sources, that
it was a pre-Mycenian mind-set that
accepted dichotomies, that accepted the
fact that you couldn't have your cake and
eat it. too .... They lived in a condition
that we characterize in the modern
world as sn intolerable pathology; we
caU it anxiety. That led me to put together this program, Neolithic Roots. to
try and investigate that mind."
Wedging a word in edgewaya, I asked,
"What is the cauae of this anxietyr
"It's grounded in human nature. We
are a beaatie that is characterized by a
high int!)leranceof ambiguity and are al
the same time fatally attracted
to
ambiguities_ ..
"The prototype is the scientist who
feels very restless with a set theory,
(now this is first rate science and not
technoid science) and embarks on a very
desperate search for anomalies. something that theory does not explain, and
then immediately upon finding the anomaly, he sets on a course of reconciling it
to where there are no more questiona."
I asked for a bit of Information: "When
was the neolithic period?"
"Up to about 4 to 6000 years ago,"
Beryl answered.
Feeling more and more like the ignorant student, I asked, "Just how did
neolithic man deal with ambiguitiesT'
"Two kinds of dealing with their world,
one that Richard Jones has called the
day world, and one that's called the
night world. In the day world, represented by cave paintings, for example,
what they did was to structure a physical
world that had reality .... Those paintings are descriptions of what kind of
beast you look for to eat.
"Then again . .. the mind-set culminated in, uh, the hedges ... what's the big
one?"
"Hedge-row?"
"No," he continued, "Stonehenge! The
mind set that culminated in Stonehenge
was not concerned about reality ....
"They didn't believe that those stars
up there were gods that controlled their
lives. It was a magnificent puzzle. It was
a way of occupying their leisure, of maintaining a kind of curiosity and intellectual excitement. It was empirical. but
not utilitarian, and it culminated in their
erecting a theory of the procession of the
equinox, which is what the zodiac system
is all about. It allowed them to predict
that procession backward 14,000 years
and forward 65,000 years. These were
crude, neolithic ancestors."
"They were able to do this using
Stonehenger I wondered.
"Using just ob ervation: finally the
accounting system became Stonehenge.
As Jones' puts it, they lived through the
day in order to play with this fantastic
puzzle at night."
Relieved, and somewhat gratified, I
concluded, "So that was their night
world. And the da7 world wu the cave
paintings, hunting for food."
Betyl nodded. uYeah, they had to live
and they needed a technology for that.
But they didn't demand, as we would
today, that one explain the other. They
were willing to keep those two worlds
apart. In that sense, and in the sense of
a lot of my ramblings and tirades about
educat1on this morning, they knew what
to do with people when they had nothing
for them to do. To i.nvolve them in a
collective, mysterious, ambiguous enterprise."

Fashion Editor
Actually. I'm not too interested in
fashion. It is mainly a pastime of mine-watching the fashionable changes in
mental and physical styles. Despite its
tawdryness and cheapness, popular culture ia important. Often a cheap novel
tells us more than a great one about the
way people thought and acted in any
given period.
In this era of paradoxes it is practically impossible to talk about our culture
as a whole in relation to anything. Therefore l will restrict my comments mainly
to trends at Evergreen.
Since its inception and before, Evergreen has had a strong tradition of being
anti-fashion. Dress here has been based
on blue jeans (the eternal bane of fashion
designers), an old shirt, tennis shoes, and
a belt. This is of course, the proverbial
Evergreen Uniform. It features dull
earth tones (often real earth) and nondescript shapes-generally uncompromisingly bland and absolutely impossible to
describe further.
Yet even this functional style has developed into forms of real alternative
fashion. First there is the late "Salvation
Army" style. This is comprised of extremely baggy army pants, a long, untucked, torn wool shirt (stained), boots.
. and absolutely nothing under five years
old. Its wearers are generally heavyduty political types who know the world
must change entirely if it is to survive.
The possible leveling of the Old Farmhouse on the Organic Fann, the implementation of a proposed Student Information Network, and the possible relocation of the Arts Studio and its sculpture
and ceramic facilities, were discussed at
Wednesday's Evergreen Council meeting.
The Council has alao sent a letter to
Pete Steilberg, Director of Recreation
and Campus Activities, about his recent
decision to close the campus swimming
pools to-mideutlr~.
1'lie
pools are used during that time by swimming teams from Olympia high schools.
The Council's letter expresses "understanding" of his decision but aab that he
review his decision. It also asks him to
consult with the Council in the future on
similar actiona. The Council· wu not functioning when the pools were originally

Student Peter Olsen told the Council
he thought the proposed leveling of the
Old Farmhouse is "an abuse of an existing resource." Olsen said Dave Wallbom.

The implementation of the Student
Information Network and Student Forum, as outlined by the position paper
from last spring's Study Group on Student Participation in Decision Malting
and Curriculum Plan~ing, was discussed
at length. A committee was formed to
study implementation. According to the
plan, this would be through
lection of
representatives from seminars and academic specialty areas.
Counc members spoke to the lack of
student awareneu of specialty areas.
Mark Reavis suggested the use of the
CPJ to inform student. about this. The
use of KAOS and the campus video TV
network waa also proposed.
The Council reviewed Adminiatrative

They carry the latest book on the crisis
of our culture and can't stand those
space-cade~ in the softy programs.
Then there is the "Mother Earth"
style. A shawl is required, as weU as
soft, droopy things with bits of embroidery here and there. Women generally
wear long skirts. The men sometimes,
too. A dog is good with this genre, prefer ably with a name like "Rainbow
Chaser" or "Feelings." These folks know
that the farm is the way of the future,
and can't stand those hard-nosed political
types who don't realize that process is
the most important thing in the world.
The third traditional style is "Basic
Backpacker." For this you wear wool
pants tucked into thick wool socks, huge
waffiestomper boots, and a bulbous down
jacket over a bright red plaid flannel
shirt. The effect is finished off with a skl
hat, and the requisite magnesium internal frame pack. These people don't hate
anybody, because they are always skiing
or hiking or rock-climbing, so they are
rarely around.
If new students at Evergreen don't
know too many people who fit these descriptions exactly, don't complain to me.
For the last two years these styles have
been slowly going out. Luckily for us
fashion editors, students are becoming
bored with colors like swampwater grey
and bilge bottom green. They are actually becoming aware of the way they
look. Anything which is normal or boring
about the Ever1tteen uniform can be
expected to change.
Strong colors are in order: strong con. trasts and definite designs. Nothing glaring or gaudy, though-no

FARMS, POOLS, AND
SPECIALIZED SPACE
By Larry StiJJwell
England intellectual-such
poise, such
grandeur! One of these will make your
entire wardrobe and keep you warm besides. Who needs anything else?
While these changes have been taking
place there have been related fashions
which have been attempting to infiltrate
Evergreen. The two major ones are, of
course. New Wave/Punk and Disco. De~pite the fact that these groups hate
each other, they are quite similar in that
they both consider thal anything which
1s cool is art. But don't worry too much
about these styles, Evergreen is still
much too intellectual and mellow to have
i:reen hair and glow-in-the-dark shoes.
TESC will have long gone the way of
Johnston College and Santa Cruz before
r his happens.
This does not mean there are not in•
<'resting aspects to both these groups.
, l1sco emphasizes bright colors, and
1,,llerskales are fun.
Though 1t would be prP umptuous to
attempt any interpretation of these fash111ntrends, it does seem we are sur•ounded by a· cultural replay of the evertal'ky 50's. Thi!se New Styles, then, are
merely the normal product of a decadent
0l'l'ade which offers nothing else to stimulat!' the spirit. As for th1· future. I
haven't the slightest prognosuration, but
it seems fair to say that it will undoubtedly arrive. When it does, le us hope it
does. not find us out of style.

There is a need to define the torso
area strongly. Vests and vest sweaters
are now very popular for doing this.
Loose, puffy white shirts tucked in are
also becoming stylish. Torso definition is
also achieved by wearing old. somewhat
large suitcoats. This is still considered
overly punkish for general use, but it
will be in before long.
Connected with this need to define the
torso is a similar need to emphasize the
shoulders and head. Scarves are popular
for women, and it will soon be acceptable
for men to wear ties. What a change
from our previous rebellion against these
forms!
•
•
Other ways to emphasize this upper
area are interesting medallions, long
winter scarves. bright picture pins. and
hats. Pu;ture pins have been used so
much by the cool set that they are already cliche-ish. Try a peace symbol instead. Wear it upside down and your
friends will ask you what it means.
Hats came in last winter for the first
time. We've rejected them long enough.
Of course they went out in the summer
but they will be back in full force soon;
this will not just be due to the weather.
One other style which we should mention here is long, dark, to-the-knees
great coats. Ah. the image of the New

With all the build-up ('"greatest ever") I

The first lime was a dazzling swirl of

Beneath a urlace of seemingly frivolous ornamentation, fidgety movement

those sensitive and persistent in the

twin chandeliers descending toward the
spectator. Recurring throughout in circu , theater and palace, the chandelier is
a miniature of this world of cryslJllline

each renecting scores of others. Through
its transparent
surface radiates the
illumination of this world. The spectator
is drawn to and indulged in that dazzling, bulging imagery. The camera eye.
instead of providing a ringside seat with
a fixed perspective allowing for contemplation, sweeps the spectator into the
arena. "Life is movement•· says Lola herself and the restless camera-instead of
merely commenting-embodies
that
movement. The nuances of tension between image and motion hold the film"s
beauty and meaning.
Lola after entering the ring through a
trap-door is enthroned on a turn-table
which revolves in one direction while the
ringmaster and camera track around her
in the reverse direction. The movements
are concentric and contrary, a visual
counterpoint., within sight of each other
but in different orbits. It is the pattern
of Lola's life, juxtaposing dreams and
reality, past and present, and her relationship to the ringmaster and sped&·
tors. The camera, an intrinsic part with
its own orbit can reveal but not bridge
the distance between orbits.

When lovers meet the camera stands
still the longest. In one such instance
when the King meet Lola backstage the
only movement is that of a rope swinging slowly in Lhe foreground like a clock"s
pendulum. Love here is a brief illusion of
refuge Crom the rush of time.
In that nux an abundance or material
ornamentation is encountered. Scenes
are viewed through arches, windows and
curlJlins. The camera moves past layer
upon layer of brilliant details which
serve as reference points Lo frame and
conceal, detract and emphasize the irr.evocable transcience. Lola's seduction of
Liszt on the eve of their parting is
viewed through a latticework of gr ..ceful
curves. Her fight with her husband
James before their separation is largely
concealed behind a dark lattice of angular
shapes. Earlier, when the young Lob
faced the bare night sky in a moment of
anguished loneliness. it was quickly replaced by a theater curtain showing a
more (anciful. reassuring sky with mythical constellation figures. All things in
the flux are shown as interrelated and
mutually dependent.
In the nashbacks the camera constitutes the emotional current of Lola's
memory. Dark and light sentiments
move in counterpoint. There is a melancholy, nostalgic yearning for a lost past
and an ever-receding present, for stillness and lasting love which won't elude
her grasp just as Liszt's carriage rolls
away when she is about to touch him for
the last time.
When lovers embrace her. not only
does the motion cease. but the screen
blackens from the sides inward. Rescue
comes from a return to movement.
escape from love"s confinement. Lola is
possessed by some inner demon which
won't allow he.r to settle down into a
still picture. a palace or a role as muse
or eternal feminine. The heart dies when
it stops. Lola is tragic in her acceptance
of the flux and the impossibility of tolJII,
lasling love. but needs a little help to
make that final, heroic leap of faith without the safety net.
There is so much. I"ve touched so little.
I know I'm setting myself up for some
vehement arguments, but I greatly enjoyed "Starting Over" and can"t help but
recommend it. Alan Pakula (of "Klute"
fame) direcl.!I, and Burt Reynolds, Candice Bergen and Jill Claburgh star in this
film which, despite some terribly
schlocky scenes. manages to present an
intriguing picture of changing male/
female relaLionshipa in these changing
times. Burt Reynolds is the "main character"; he"s s n trying to get his lile in
order after Bergen divorces him. But for
me. Claburgh was the one the film revolved around. As Reynolds' new love
interest she was a convincing example
(thanks to accurate writing and excellent
acting) of today"s "independent" wom•
an-still vulnerable, but learning to be
strong. And after two viewings her performance still fascinates me.
The argumenlJI about this film center
around its alleged sexism. There are
some cheap shots at (and oO Candice
Bergen"s chara.cter, it's true, but that
isn"t the general tone of the movie. And
the fact that a character in a movie acta

sexi,L (This same discuuion cropped up
over Woody Allen's "Manhattan," wherein the main character was a jerk about
his relationships with women; but the
film didn't glorify him or his sexiat attitudes, and in £act those altitude• cost
him his happiness.) Reynolds plays a fool
often in "Starting Over," but the buic
virtue extolled is long-term, monogamous, heterosexual commitment, and if
that's not a universally popular value
these days. It still beats the hell out of
what I expected the film to glamorize.

searches desperately for a simp who rejects all that "independence"
propaganda. Rather. it's a story about three
contemporary adults who, despite their
various idiosyncrasies, are presented as
equal. intellig nt. ulented people.
The people I've argued with about this
so-called exist movie have all been men.
Women I"ve talked to greatly enjoyed
"Starting Over." So I suspect that under
th guise of rejecting a sexist movie.
these men are actually rejecting monogamous commitment. They're having the
intellectual ver ion of the hyperventilating anxiety atlJlck Reynolds has in the
film when faced with making a big
commitment.
I recommend that you go see "Starting
Over.'' playing at least t~rough this
week at the Capilal Mall Cinema. If
you"re determined you could ne:ver stand
Burt Reynolds I think you'll be plea&antly surprised. And if not, it's still
worth seeing in order to watch Jill
Claburgh in artion.
