Science and Craft faculty and student.,,
professional boatbuilders and volunteers,

the project nears completion. "She could
be launched today," ac;,ording to Dr.
Robert Filmer, present project coordinator. (Seawulff remains In dry dock for
interior work. Her scheduled launch date
ia June 7.)
The boat is undeniably a work of
craftsmanship, a real feather in Ever-green's mortar board. However, the

building proceaa has not been without its
problems. Originally designed as an
academie program to expose students to
a technical kind ol craft, the undertaking
(ell on hard times when the lint attempt
burned to the ground in May, 1976. The
second effort began in the spring of 1976.
The project baa been plagued by lack of
funds, and preHured to 1how result.a to
local contributors. As a r,suJt, the academics of the project have suffered.
Recent dissatialaction among students
baa been expressed to Dean York Wong
and in a letter from James Ringland to

the CPJ.
The problem

was

that the students felt

they were being used as a work crew.
and oot being given enough instruction
in the design aspects or boatbuilding, as

had been promaed at the beginning ol
(all quarter.

The proa-ram is "project

oriented," Wong exJ)laiiied, and therefor, ..
includes more hands•on experience, less
classroom time. Filmer added, "The
project is a cluster of individual contracts
with an individual contract it's
hard for the student to know al the
beginning of a quarter what lo include in

U'lecontract."
Jamie Coleback, a student who has
worked on the boat for about a year,
reels Lhat "the pressure Lo finish the boat
comes right down on the students.·· He
thinks, though, that accusations made by
James Ringland concerning Filmer's mishandling of the project are "blown out of
proportion." Ringland's charges appeared
in a forum published in the CPJ.
Coleback does agree with Ringland
that the academics of the project were
neglected last quarter. "It really wasn't

He was getting
pressure to make progre.ss
I understa nd the situation has improved this
quarter. We've got to .see that that continues. and thot the Mhool meets its
responsibilities te the students, academically." N~ither Coleback, nor any of the
five students who consulted York Wong
about the boat situation, are working on
the project this quarter.
President Dan Evans commented on
the Project: "What's really important
now is for us to complete
the Seawulff
as proof to l hose who have donated and
who might donate more, that we really
can fulfill a project, get it done. and have
the boat operating."

Evans vs. faculty union

Collective bargaining at Evergreen
By T. J. Simpson
and David Joyner
Evergreen President Dan Evans does

not think the state"s college !acuity nttd
the right to unionize and enter into
collective bargaining with college admin•
istrationa. He says (acuity already have
enough or a share in college governance.

Members of the campus chapter of the
American Federation of Teachers strong-

ly disagree. Union secretary Peta Henderson says shared governance "is a
thing of the President's imagination ...
Evans and University of Washington
President William Gerberding both
testified against Senate Bill 2236 before
the Senate Labor Committee iaat week.

the legislature. We don't have a collective voice."
Evans insists, however. "that there is
shared governance, the faculty doe■ have
significant
management
influence.
There's considerable leverage in that
there are regular faculty meetings.
Th08e faculty meetings are designed

with an opportunity !or all !acuity to
participate. The !act that only half ol
them do is one indication, of course, that
on the one hand they say they reaUy
need that voice and then never use it."

Despite their oppooition, the Committee
voted 3-1 to revive the bill and paas it on
to the rest of the legislature for conaideration. Last year the bill pual,d the
Senate but failed to become law when tie
votes in the House Higher Education

Committee let the bill die.
The bill would give the faculty of
Washington's lour-year colleges the right
to unionize and thereby participate in
collective bargaining over salary and
work conditiona issues. Some of the
state'• community colleges a1ready recognize !acuity uniona.
The Evergreen chapter of the AFT,
which is not recognized as a faculty bargaining unit by the Board of Truoteea,
baa 37 membera out of the college's 180
faculty. In previous yean, approximately
one-half- of t~
hete--bave- be-longed to the union. Union officia19feel
that membership would greatly increue
if SB 2236 paased and !acuity unioos
were recognized.
The council of Univeraity Presidents
favONN'.I
the bill iaat aeuon but voiced
the hope lacuhy would not aN their
right to bargain collectively. The testimony from Evans and Gerberding ind~
cates a shift in attitude and policy. "You
won't find many college presidents anywhere in favor of collective "bargaining,"
Getberding aaid.
Faculty generally favor the bill.
"We're the only atate employees that do
not have enabling legiaiation for colleetive bargaining," aaid Ken Harsha,. legislative representative for the laeulty of
Central Washington Univeraity. "Without collective bargaininJ," he aald, -...
just don't havo the muade tc. deal with

Dan Evans
Claims union unnecessary
Collective b,rrgaintng; Evans says,
would deotroy the idea of shared governance by creating an employer/employee
type relationship between faculty and
admilliatration. Thio factionalization, he
saya, threatens to make third-party
victims or students who do not share in
buic governance, and who would therefore be the wounded party in a hard-line
battle

between

admini1tralor1

and

faculty.
The bill, Evana continues, treats !acuity of higher educational lnatitutiona
exactly the aame aa teuhen in common
achonia. Thia ia unaatiafactory in that

bargaining, therefore, doe■ not exiat in

AFT oflidaia diaagreo.

"We have this myth that it's one big
community. that we all have our sharf' of
the governance;· says Nancy Allen, AFT
President. "It's clear that the Evergreen
Council has not been effective and thal
was the mechanism for chaneling community opinion under the C.OG III
governance document. I don't Lhink any
one would conlend that that's worked
very well."
Peta Henderson shares similar sentiments. She feels that it is Byron Youlz's
work as Provost that has given Lhe il\u-

ting of allotted faculty sick time. and
Evans' consolidation of the Affirmative
Action office under the control of the
Director or Personnel. The latter move
had been previously opposed hy a large

1ani,m.

it is not my intent to excuse Greg M()(,
or the YSA. Mr. Moo presents a classir
,1raw man argument, based on distor
11,,n, of T. J.'s article. T. J. destroys Mr.
\loo·~ fallacies and distortions admirably.
llnwever. when T. J. tries to build his
•·ase against the Trotskyists. he sinks
into the worst sort of opportunistic mud,lmging. I hope T. J. finds the appropri..1te orifice for his Trot-baiting cliches.
tncludinK the icepicks.
T. J. contends that the New Left was
libertarian, and that all authoritarianism
lies with the Old Left. Whal bullshit!
Tht· New Left (SDS, New American
~fovem~nt. etc.) attempted to build a
movement based on pragmatism. assum
mg they had no assumptions. This left
them with no standards with which to
evaluate political ideas. New Left politics
took on an arbitrary, ad hoc quality. with
New Lefters blindly following political
fads and assorted deities, such as Mao,
Che Guevara, Mahatma Gandhi. Huey
Newton, etc. The arbitrary and nebulous
politics of the New Left were nor libertarian; the opposite was true. It only
took a year like 1968, with a few meaningful and immediate political questions,
to expose the New Left for what it was.
Disillusioned New Lefters were a fertile
recruiting ground for the Trotskyists in
the late '60s.
I wish I had the space for detailed
rc·futations of T. J.'s point on Kronstadt
1"h1storical fact" my ass!) and other
historical arguments. I can. only suggest
that readers investigate these on their
own to reach their own conclusions. The
Crabshell issue badly needs to be dealt
with. though. because of its immediacy.
Conspiracy stories about the Rig Red
Machine taking over movements invariably come from people who want to
avoid dealing with political differences. I,
too, heard the great YSA/Crabshell
story from personal friends. When I
asked for specific details (How did the
YSA take over Crabshell? How did they
suppress opposition?) I got absurd, bullshitty, dogmatic evasions for answers.
The Crabshell story rem.nd.s me of the
anti-war days when I'd bust my ass
alongside the Trots, and then hear
absurd horror stories from their oppon•
ents afterward.

in excellenl position lo say this. The
Trotskyisl newspapers are every bit as
rhetorical and stupid as T. J. says they
are. The absurdity of the paper "Young
Socialist" was a major reason for my
leaving the YSA. I do feel sorry for
those poor suckers trying to unload that
pap; I know what they're going through.
The Trotskyist movement, along with
most other Marxists, labors under a
Victorian fallacy. The belief that one
view of history supercedes all others is
inherently authoritarian,
bringing to
mind T. J.'s phrase, "bad sociology com•
bined with zero psychology." I'll never
forget the time I was discussing the
study of history with a young Marx.isl
dinkhead (he didn't know I was also a
Marxist) who preached that "the economic view of history" was the only valid
one, and that other perspectives were a
waste of time. This is a dangerously
narrow and presumptuous
view of
history. As good an analytic tool as it
was, Marxism isn't the whole baU of
wax. It doesn't bridge the gap between
class conflict and human liberation singlehandedly. T. J .'s concern that social
revolution should end in human liberation is neglected by a frightening portion
of Marxists, who simply assume it will.
Retrenchment in sectarian battles does
not allow movements to learn from their
mistakes. As long as T. J. maintains his
illusion that the New Left was the way
t.o go, he'll never learn. His faith in the
60s New Left reminds me of Kennedy
worshippers. One guess who the YSA's
Dead Kennedys are. Unless we have the
humility to step out of sectarian molds

the sneaky, unethical, and un-journalistic
contribution which appeared in the arts
and events column last issue. The subject in question is the blurb about the
puppy socialist alliance added to the
column by grace of the feature editor,
T. J. Simpson.
That Mr. Simpson vehemently disagrees with the objectives of the Young
Socialist Alliance was made very clear in
his response to Moo's article. The proper
vehicle for such dialogue was realized by
publishing the two differing views as
feature articles. This is where such discussion should have remained, but un•
fortunately Mr. Simpson fell that he had
the right, as features and entertainment
editor, to slip in what was obviously
meant as a jab to the Y.S.A. Al this
point I wish to state that I do not presently support any political organization,
and that I do not necessarily agree with
the Y.S.A.'s viewpoints. However, 1 do
support, and indeed expect, journalism
that is as objective and professional
as possible.
In his editorial, Larry Stillwell said
that the C.P.J. was going lo "clean up its
act," that it wasn't a ..shopper style
newspaper," and that "it is run by "(ould•
be journalists, editors, and writers." If
this be the cue, then what place do the
antics of Mr. Simpson's power hungry,
presumptuous mind play in what the
paper is trying lo accompliah? As the
editor-in-chief, I would have hoped that
Mr. Stillwell could have exerciaed a bit
more supervision over his staff, and left
such infantile additions to the National
Inquirer or The Evergreen
Review

INFIGHTING
To the Editor:
The discussion between Young Socialist Alliance member Greg Moo and T. J.
Simpson hu degenerated into a campaign of personal attacks and slander
against the YSA. While we welcome
open debate among leftists of ideas and
differences, we think that this kind of
derogatory infighting is destructive.
In the day-to-day struggles that we
are involved in such as the Women's
Movement. Aid to the Nicaraguan Revolution, and anti-Ku Klux Klan activities,
we recognize that the enemy is not other
leftist groups also involved in those
activities. The enemy is the ruling class,
the handful of people who own the ma•
jority of resources and control our lives
according to the demands of their profit
system.
While we have many differences with
other leftist groups, we recognize it u
useful and positive lo respecllully debate
and discuss those differences. However,
we wilJ not participate in slander and
sectarianism that harms the entire left.
Instead, we encourage T. J. and others
to raise their disagreements in a con•
slructive fashion and to work with us on
the burning issues that we all agree
upon.
There is much work to be done politic.ally. We encourage people who want to
become active lo take a hard look at the
different groups and ideu on the Jell
nd decide for themselves ~th

conflict between the necessity for coordinated action and individual liberation
from coercion and exploitation al the
hand of institutions remains. Until that
issue is addressed directly, I see little
hope for any reconciliation between the
two and, like any family squabble, the
argument will soon become more impor·
tanl than the problem that started it.
I'm going lo shirk my responsibility to
enter the fray and settle this isaue once

of where to start, and besides who am I

HIGH ON DRUGS
Dear Editor,
Someone's poor judgment showed
when B. E. Ballard's article, "Seminar
Ticket" was published on Jan. 17. The
supposed satire was about a seminar in
which every member has either peculiar
bodily characteristics or is high on drugs
harder than caffeine or marijuana. None
of the members represented, including
the faculty, are capable of identifying the
author of the book in front of them,
much leu are they able to discuso it.
Taking into account the intended
satin,, I see no relationship between
Balla.rd'• seminar and any that I have
been in in my two-plus years here. I am
insulted by the blatant disrespect shown
towards people who use seminars u
invaluable tools for learning. Mo.stly,
however, I am disappointed that the
impression the article gives was allowed
lo reach non•Evergreen
people. The
depiction of totally incompetent students
is not good for Evergreen, especially

Damn the torpedos

The Evergreen Letter
By Stuart Chase
One week ago the !ibrary building of
The Evergreen
Stale College disap·
peared. The landscaping, paths, and side•
walks remained. only the building was
gone. This reporter was walking over
thl' grounds yesterday,
interviewing
security and students, when the follow•
mg Journal entry presented itself. Before
printing the entry, one of the many
accounts of the disappearance (which
were so similar in the telling, mass
hypnosis was first offered as an explan
at ion t is offered for any of our readers
who. by some- chance. did not hear the
full details.
It has bt'>en reported that at 8 a.m. of
last Wednesday morning the campus
proper was felt to be floating as though
a ship in the ru1ddlt>of the ocean. People
de~rribed the early morning as foggy
and t•ene. 1That in retrospect.) Visibility
"a'i limited to as far as one·s hand could
reach. At 8 o'clock a fog horn was heard
from a northeasterly direction. For the
<iurauon of the sound the campus was
afloat. When anyon{' would altempt t.o
hc'ave Red Square \as it is euphemistically called\ they had the distinct impres:;1onor water lappinK the sides of a hull.
and a few reported they felt lhe actual
spray of salt water on their faces. The
fading lament of the fog horn coincided
with the dissipation of the fog. Those
nearest to what they were certain was
t.he water discovered the familiar landmarks of sidewalks, groundcover, and
the surrounding
forest. The campus
foundation ceased its rocking and was as
solid as before. So much so that people
arriving seconds after the lifting of the
fog had no indication, no sensation, or
being afloat. but only of the stability or
concrete poured on earth (though some
did report a curious disorientation &S to
the direction of the campus prior t.o the
fog lifting!.
Though the sensation was shared by
students. staff. a few faculty and admin
istrators, tht:>yremained isolated stories.
The feeling of shock and wonder was
regarded as a novelty, more as an inter
est1ng story to be told rather than a
subject requiring action or confirmation.
Perhaps inquiries of whal had happened
would have been made had not a much
stranger incident occurred that evening.

Education can be a process of inquiry
and doubt, of self-awareness leading to a
perception of prejudice and bias, personal needs and desires. The reward is not a
guarantee of a place in this society. nor
fulfillment of all these desires. The
reward is the ability to see clearly. But
something is wrong. The dream I sought
lo find alive and well has been drugged,
used for ceremony and a cover for injustice lo others. People are playing
power trips at a college that sought to
end that pain and sorrow, which are the
product of ignorance and mental blindness.
Within lhis apparent innovative and
challenging educational program, confusion is predominant. Various groups.
various individuals al this college, force
lheir particular beliefs on others while
believing themselves complete and perfect. The self-questioning and inquiry,
the pursuit and discovery of Truth, the
basis of the dream, is nonexistent.
The confusion suffered by some is the
disparity between dream and what lhey
see happening. Though courageous and
far-sighted in creating an institution with
a dream at its center. the College hu
nol developed a means of implementing
this dream of an open inquiry into what
is true. So much energy is devoted to
the speaking. the telling of the dream, of
fighting for its acceptance, with an
underlying notion that dreams have no
place in this culture, that acceptance of
the dream leaves the proponents unprepared for the next important step-making it happen. giving it life. Everyone has a dream, a hope, a secret wish,
but having little faith in the pooaibility of
its reality. they are totally unprepared
when it does become real-so they lose
whal they desired even as they reach lo
embrace it.
The dream is the guide, the marker on

The boatbuilding project has been
around about as long as Evergreen, and
has a history involving a number of
faculty. and probably hundreds of stu•
dents. 1'he boat ts nAnfed aner a student,
Reid Wulff. a member of the Research
Vessel Design program, drowned in Eld

The original idea for the project came
from an experience Beryl Crowe had,
bark in '72. "I was down at Oregon
State, and students there were sponsor
mg a crafts fair. Well, I went to lhe fair
and all they had were candles, leather
bells. things like that. Nothing but crap.
So I thought. it would be nice to expose
student! to some serious crafts." Crowe
proposed to plan a program in which a
.wooden sailing vessel would be designed
and built. He received approval and the

ended in tragedy. The hull was being
built, and a boiler was fired up, as part
of the process. The boiler door was left
open, the shop caught fire, and everytlnng burned. RanK Long narrowly
escaped with his life. The plans, drawn
by Robert Perry, a professional yacht
designer. were all thal was left of the
project.
By the time of the disaster, .many
_plans had been made for the use of the
boal; she would be used to test the
feasibility of commercial fishing with a
sail-powered vessel; she would be used
for marine research (Seawulfrs aft cabin

the Soulh Seas. The expectations toward
having a fleet of sailing vessels were
high. For this and other reason.a, the
project, dubbed the "phoenix proj..'Cl"
because it roee from the uhes, began
again at its present site.

My motivations are, in one sense at
least, very personal, not to say a bit

In another sense my motivations are
very idealistic. I still believe the 1980s

Yes. I do. It could still be the decade of

to find ourselves, abolish the bomb and
get on with living.
In the final sense these two motivations are really one. I like living.

this column will appear about once a

I don't want to over-hype thia thing, but
I have to tell you that this is the biggest
dance that has ever happened at this

There are several reasons for this, the
most important of which is the Heaters
themselves. This band represents all the
best aspects of rock and roll music.

PLANNING FOR WORK

Evergreen Council

.
Quarter, Janu&ry 3o from 3-5 p.m. 10
CAB 108, \nd thereafter on the firat and
third Wednesdays of every month.
This is an open meeting but must
follow an agenda because of time const~aints. The E.xecutive Council will meet
thl8 week to d1scW1san agendL Suggealions may be submitted lo Chris Fitzgerald, Winter Quarter Moderator,
1866-5605), to an Executive Committee
member, lo the Council office (Library
3227, 866-6005), or to the. Information
booth m the CAB. Prooped1ve me!"bers
are encouraged to attend this meeting.
The Evergreen Council is currently
being examined by a study group on

words, "Our job is to give people a good
time. No politics; no messages." In the
one year the band has been together.
tJiey've become very popular and have
opened three major concerts in Seattle:
the Kinks. the Alvin Lee Band, and lhe
Knack. Their first record is supposed to
be released at the end of the month.
The Magnetics are another Seattle
band wilh a difference. They play a
blend of surfing and 50's-oriented rockabilly music, aptly called surlabilly. The
Magnetics say they aren't new wave
either; they say thal they ride the
big wave.
Larry and the Mondellos (their name
is a take-off on the perpetually hungry

character on Leave It to Beaver) promic;e
a new. slimmer version of their former
self. They're also the only Olympia band
l know of that f~atures original music.
The olher reason that.this is going to
be a different dance is Lhat it's happening on ~he second and third floors of the
CAB. We put it there in order to gel
enough people to support the high price
of a really good band. We're bringing in
a special sound system to help facilitate
the changing of a shopping mall into a
concert hall. We've got the lighting
people. the sound people and even t'ie
administration working on this so at any
rate it should be interesting.
The dance start.s at 8 p.m. and goes
till 2 a.m .. which is a lair deal lor $3.00 if
you buy your tickets in advance and
S3.50 on the day of the show. We really
need your support if we are to continue
to bring new and different types of
entertainment
to Evergreen. Anyone
interested in doing this sort of thing
should come to a Gig Commissir:, meeting. Call the campus activities office for
more information at x6220.
For those of you who want the full
range of musical experience, the possibility exists to catch the early show of
Mary Watkins and dance the rest of the
night away with us. We would like to
continue planning events in the cooperative spirit of Evergreen.
