Film students and faculty-whos in charge?
By T. J. Simpson
Next year, for the first time in nearly
three years, advanced film students at
Evergreen will finally have a program to
meet their needs. But the feeling among
many film studenta i.s one of dire uncertainty rather than enthusium. These
students fear a potential centralization of ,
power into the wrong hands and are
skeptical about the seemingly democratic
form ol film faculty hiring.
As one film student put it, "They're
not hiring on what the students need.a
a.re, have been and will be. ls the s,hool
for the faculty or for the atudenta?"
The frustration film 1tudenla have felt
toward the school and faculty goea back
to the early days of the school itself.
Evergreen
has for years now been
equipped with the but 16 mm film
equipment available but, until 1978,
never really had a full-time faculty
specializing in film. The equipment,
which includes a C.P. 16 and an Airifiex
(two very expensive and complex e&m·
eras), a Steenbeck aound-ayncb editing
machine, and an animation stand. bu
also been readily available to qualified
students-something
very few other college• offer.
In the apring of 1977, the majority of
film students protested,
by petition,
against their film program faculty, Bob
Bernard. The students felt that Be5nard
(whose main field wu science, not film)
wu arbitrarily miab&ndling the equipment he wu in control of and was generally incompetent to teach film in the
first place.
Bernard then left the film studies area
and during the 1977-78 academic year,
Gordon Beck coordinated a film production group contract with advanced film
students. This group contract was budgeted to produce two major 16 mm
short! in the course ot the year, but
never went into the red after the budget
was draatically slashed because of cuts
made by the legislature.
Although work on the projects con-

1

ft. HuwntJ•

tinued throughout
the year, it took
almoet two years to complete the films.
They were finished only becaUBe the
individual directors of each film kept
working on them after the group contract wu over and al.moat everybody
el.aeinvolved in it had left the achool
Beck, who had little expertise in film
production (although he did have an
extensive background in theater, film
history and theory), grew weary of the
hardahipa the contract provoked and
settled back Into teaching art history.
In 1978, Sally Cloninger was hired to
teach film, but her 1978-79 group contract purposely excluded advanced ftlm
students. Such students either had to
get an individual contract (which was
usually difficult to finance and find
faculty for) or go into other areas of
study.
This year, Thomas Ott and Jan
Krawitz were hired on a special visiting
basis, to teach "Recording and Rtructuring Light and Sound," another basic program that mainly focused on docu•
mentary rilmmaking. This program

Evans Plans to Be A
1-term College Head

luted only two quarters (fall and winter), so there is no program of any kind
in film production this quarter.
Last quarter, a group of film students
(moatly from "R.S.L.S.") petitioned to
Academic Dean Will Humphreys IOI' an
advanced program in film for next year.
Humphreys agreed to the need for such
a program, and the proposed "Take 2"
for next year was born. The next problem was finding an appropriate faculty
to teach it.
•AdvertiselTients
were sent out in
various journals on both the East and
West coasts. Three candidates were
finally chosen-Bill Jungels, from Buflalo, N.Y., Mike Covell, from Southern
Illinois University, and Thomas Ott. who
was never hired on a permanent basis.
Jungels and Covell were flown out
here (at Evergreen's expense) to present
their work and be interviewed by faculty
and students with key interests in film.
Jungels was here on April 21, Covell on
April 28. Dean Will Humphreys figured
that Ott didn't need a special interview
or presentation sinc.e most interested

students and (aculty here are familiar
with him and hi.s work. Student.5 were
encouraged to write their recommenda·
tions in the candidate's files.
A faculty-hiring DTF will meet this
Friday, May 9, Lo review the files and
recommendations or the candidates. A
deci.sion should be announced by Mon
day. Dean Humphreys
and Provost
Byron Youtz have the final say over the
decision, although Humphreys stated
that it would be unusual for the Provost
to override his decision. Humphreys also
acknowledged that Sally Clon~nger. as
the only film faculty on campus, will
have quite an influence on the final
decision since she has been asked to
evaluate the candidates.
Members or the hiring DTF, which
consists of ten faculty, five students, and
five staff, were, for the most part,
absent from the candidates' presenta·
tions of their films. Humphreys explained that candidates for faculty positions don't necessarily meet with the
entire DTF, but do meet with a subcommittee. Two DTF members that I
talked with were either totally unaware
or confused about DTF procedures and
meeting schedules and didn't appear to
show much interest in them anyway.
All the students interviewed, and who
attended the candidates' presentations,
were overwhelmingly enthusiastic about
Covell. They felt that he was by far the
most talented and open.
"Just the breath of fresh air we need
around here," one student said, adding
that Covell just might be the best thing
t.o ever happen to film at Evergreen.
Although these students have nothing
against Ott, and most have previously
worked with him in R.S.L.S., they fear
that his hiring would increase what they

department (or rather, what there exists

The skill comes from practice. The
responsibility comes from mistakes. The
opportunity can only come from an administration which is willing to live up to
its promises. Including ones which hurt
bureaucratic efficiency. If Evergreen is
now too large and beleaguered to accept
substantive meddling in its aff8..irs by
students (such as the Mother Jones
want-ad} with grace, then it has no right
to claim it provides a rure for alienating
institutions. If Evergreen excuses itself
for neither ac('epting nor supporting the
development and articulation of student
influence because of legislative censure.
perhaps Evergreen should nol exist.

second time I had heard about his absolute authoritarian assholyness. the first
time was during the middle of last month
when some students explained to me a
complety falce and slanderous report
that Mac Smith has made concerning
some hyperthedical drug deals going on
on campus.
The point that I would like to make is
that the absolute power that Mac has
been able to wreal in the last year and a
half has gone to his head. yet he's also in
~he position that there is noone that ts
able t.o stop him.
Now as I read your issue of May l,

1980 I see that HE (capitalized as in
GOD) is agian on the rampage of striking
fea~ i:ito the innocent and unsuspecting
students on wheels. Which includes those
who attempt to bring their bicycles into
the buildings either ridden or carried.
p.s. remember who it was who ordered
the state police to come and bust the
dorms sometime last year without going
through the proper procedures? eg Get•
ting the okay from the head of housing
and Lhat of the president first.

CONCERNINGSTIJDENT
INVOLVEMENT
IN
CURRIOJLUM
To the Editor:
In response to the curriculum questionnaire:
The Evergreen curriculum has become
an incestuous collection of training
seminars for the next generation of Ne<r
Guardians. So be it. If the administrators/faculty are now openly ignoring
student responsibility for directing the
course of their own education, the least
they could do is to cease passing out
these phoney feedback forms and stick
t.o some honest market surveys.
The problem with giving students the
opportunity
to provide ''Input'' and
"Feedback" is thal it raises unreasonable
expectations on the part of student., who
think they can have a significant influence on curriculum design. I have been
here too long to think thi• will be
otherwise.
Unfortunately, unless students have
the opportunity t.o make important mistakes, they will never become the intel•
lectual carriers of nobliase oblige so
desparately needed to save us from our•
selves. Students are protected from this
fate from fcrst through twelfth grade in
public schools, they are becoming more
so at Evergreen. What reason do you,
the Deans, have to believe that they will
acquire it as food stamp interviewers,
Dow chemists. or high school teachers?
Magic? Revelation? Reason? Sudden
independent wealth?
Unless student. are- given the skill,
the opportunity, and the responsibility lo
make non•trivi.al desicions about aspect.,
of their institutional environment which
affect them directly-things
like curriculum planning-they will continue to become betrayed and confused fodder for
industrial & social service bureaucracies.

JOEMcCARlHY
Dear-Edit.ors,
I would like to submit a friendly protest againat the headline given my letter
in the May 1st edition. "Doesn't Like
Commie Actors??"' What I said was that
I consider Brando a totaUy offenaive
hack. His political "views" are merely a
sidelight issue. Sure, I am a noncommu•
nist, almoat to the point of being anticommunist; bul this does not inform my
per•onal opinions. FoT fnnance, Jack
London
a communist from the word
Go is one of my all-time hProes. And
Arthur Miller. no communist uut definitely an extreme Leftist, is my favorite
living writer. John ·~arficlc! was a
"Commie actor," as ou s< 1 uaintly
phrase it, and I certarnly hr •· nothin@'

The official word
I would like to answer your letter of
April 29 by this public means in order
to share my thoughts on curriculum
planning with the wider Evergreen
community.
First, I think it a healthy sign that
students are interested in and concerned for curricular planning. It continues to be the intent of the Academic
Deans and myself to provide opportunity for broad participation by students
in that activity.
In our view, there is an important
consultative and advisory role which
current students can and should plan in
the shaping of cuniculum. The faculty
wish to be in touch, as far as possible,
with the educational needs of their current and future students and want to
encourage a flow of suggestions and
new ideas for academic programs. But
the curricular planning we have just
been doing is for the Fall of 1981, some
16 months hence. Current students will
constitute about half of the participants
in the programs being planned, unrepresented new students will constitute
the other half. The academic deans and
the faculty have the responsibility for
providing a broadly based and balanced
curriculum for the future. Hence, they
must have the final authority for deciding what will be olfered and what
the distribution of programs will be.
But this still leaves plenty of room for
student advice and consultation.
In an attempt to accelerate publication of the catalog, we moved the
faculty planning retreat forward from

To the EvPrgreen Community,
We thought the students, stall and
faculty of Evergreen should know that

PREDICT
ABILnY
DOESN'TMEAN
REPETITION
To the Editor:
Fa('t: There is a demand for greater
predict.ability in Evergreen's curriculum,
both from present and potential studen~.
Fact: Nearly every offering for the
1981 82 has been seen before.
Do these facts necessarily follow h-om
one another? Is offering programs that
have been offered before the only way to
achieve predictability, to know what will
be offered positively two years from
now? Or is this simply the only means
the faculty and administration
have
thought of to meet that need?
I would hale to think of Evergreen's
administrators and faculty as unimagin•
alive-but that seems the conclusion I'm
forced to draw, Predictability does not
mean '.ack of innovation, it does not
mean repetition. It simply means know•
ing what will be offered. Repetition has
nothing to do with it.
Or is the need for predict.ability simply
a smokescreen for the need for Evergreen to rid itself of innovation? After
all, Evergreen's reputation for looseness
was the cause of its bad image in the
community. By instituting these replays
of past successful programs, the coUege
has less ('hance of being termed innova•
live !which literally connotes evil in
many people's minds), of being consid•
ered loose and a place to waste time.
rm not knocking the idea of repeated
programs-I
would love lo see others
have the chan('e to go through Modernization and the Individual (though, hopefully with a more appropriate title),
Decentralization. and Writing Populist
Political Economics. But that's not all
I'd like to see them experience.

Administration
To the Faculty
From Byron Youtz, Provost
As you know, the president, the
Deans and I have hoped and expected
that our new curriculum
planning
schedule would provide an authenticopportunity for students t.o play a productive role in the process. Prior to the
Fort Worden Retreat, the Specialty
Areas were urged to meet with students interested in working in that
area in order to understand student
needs and wishes, solicit suggestions
and criticisms, and hence go to Fort
Worden with an improved sense of·
meeting the legitimate needs of studenta. Some Specialty Areas did this
weU, others very little or not at all.
There is considerable student anger
and frustration about feeling left out of
the process, which I feel is unfortunate
and unnecessary.
I want to request two actions whkh
we can take to correct this situation
and get profitable
discussion
and
critique from students.
L After the posting of the Draft
Curriculum, each Specialty Area should
conven_e a special Wednesday meeting
to which students interested in that

Area would be invited. The agenda
would be to get disc.union and sug•
gestions on the adequacy of the offerings, holes, duplications, etc., from students and to answer questions and
explain the choices offered, on the" part
ol the faculty. These could be scheduled
on May 14 in the morning.
2. Students can also play a role in
helping shape detait. of the 1980-81
curriculum if they have an opportunity
t.o meet with Program Coordinators or
Faculty Teams of the 1980-81 offerings.
This would be a chance for us to iden, t-ify special interests, special needs or
problems associated with our planning
in advance of the Academic 'Fair and
the preparation of materials for that
Fair. I suggest that these Program
planning meetings be held in the afternoon of May 14.
Both sets of May 14 meetings should
be scheduled and advertised
on a
campus-wide basis weU in advance. I
hope that you will aU concur and give
this method of student involvement an
opportunity to become effective. By
this memo I am asking the Academic
Deans to arrange a room schedule for
such meetings. Thanl you in advance

are then posted on the large buUetin
board in the 2200 section of the
Library.
It is now posted as the
1981-82 Draft Cnrrlnlum. (This is
analgous to the old Trial Balloon.) We
solicit and urge student comment on
that Draft Curriculum via the questionnaire that has been provided. As a final
opportunity to advise on the 1981-82
curriculum. we have asked the Specialty Areas to convene one more meeting-on Wednesday morning, May 14
from 9 a.m. to noon-to look over the
Specialty
Area. Basic and Annual
Offerings.
Students
are invited to
attend. Based on this collected advice,
the Deans and Specialty Area Convenors then select the 1981-82 curriculum.
Finally, you also have an opportunity
to be involved in some of the final
shaping ol the 1980-81 (next year·s1
('Urriculum before the academic fair. On
Wednesday afternoon, May 14, coordinators of next year's programs have
been asked to set up meetings (time
and place to be posted on coordinator's
doors) so that students interested in
those programs can discuss shape and
content. Again, the final decisions lie
with the faculty, but this is an opportunity to advise and counsel.
I hope that this reveals a clear intent
and a systematic method for student
involvement with curriculum planning.
In this. its first-year operation. we
have not been as successful as we had
hoped to be. But there is still time to
participate, and there is opportunity to
learn from our experience. We hope
that you will join in the process.

mid•June to mid-April. We saw this as
an opportunity to get students more in•
volved in the curriculum design process
than has been possible in the recent
put. We therefore uked the Convenors of the Specialty Areas to schedule
several meetings in advance of the retreat and to announce these so that
interested students could attend and
make their needs and wishes and ideas
known. The two Deans in charge of
curriculum planning, Barbara Smith
and Jeanne Hahn, met with the S.I.N.
t.o publicize and explain this process.
Specialty Area meeting announcements
were advertised in the CPJ. In some of
these meetings there was good student
attendance, in others there was very
little or none at all. In addition, some
of the Specialty Areas and Basic Programs took surveys t.o determine student needs and suggestions as a further
means of guiding the planning process.
At the faculty retreat the intention is
to devote full time attention to the
generation o( a draft curriculum to be
implemented a year and a half later. In
the atmosphere of that retreat, with
faculty mixing in a way which is not
possible on campus, new interdisciplinary ideas are generated and new combinations for faculty teams are struck.
The faculty have an opportunity to talk
about what we are doing and how well,
and to discuss common academic concerns. It is more a creative time than a
decision-making time. There are always
more proposals generated than we can
actually use.

.
When asked about the present effort
being made by Zwerin and Murch, Fuller
responded, "I feel that it would be well
worth the eredit if they could get a
program going."
After three unsucceuful attempt& to
get the program approved by Smith,
Zwerin and others decided to start the
campus cable station with volunteers.
Apparently, the prospect of doing noncredit work was unappealing for most of
the 65 student& who signed the proposal.
"After it (the group contract) got shot
down, they just dwindled away," said
Zwerin.
C.E.S.C.-TV has gone out on the wires
three times 3ince winter quarter: once
for a whole weekend. Videotapes and
other artwork were shown, along with a
few announcements. The last showing
was partly an appeal for student support.
Zwerin said that there was some positive
feedback from the showings, "but it's.

Ciciently independent from her and will
simply serve a.s her "puppet.." This feu
is being expressed because of her
acknowledged influence on the faculty
hiring.
The fact that many film students &re
bitter, angry, and alienated because of
their experiences with Cloninger is
something that cannot be ignored. (This
brings to mind the Bob Bernard contre>versy of three years ago.) At the same
time, those who are able to get along
with her, praise her teaching abilities.
Some, however, feel cheated because
she has not been teaching filmmaking in •
the last yeu, but video and viaual
anthropology instead. One student (whom
ru refer to as "Joe") complained, "She's
not very responsive to or supportive of
any kind of student project&. She makes
you make the kind of films she wants
you ~ make, not the kind you want to
make.
He then went on, saying that when he
went to Cloninger to find out about an
individual contract, she was hoetile and
discouraging, telling him that thia was
not a film school and that if he wanted to
learn about mm then he should go somewhere else. After being turned down by
three other faculty, Joe finally found
someone to sponsor his contract, even
though hia faculty knew hardly anything
about the technical aapectaof filmmaking. •
Joe had the choice between going to a
prestigious film school or Evergreen. He
chose Evergreen becauae of the availa·
bility of the equipment and because he
believed he would have the freedom to
work and have the guidance to do the
kind of ftlms he'd like. But when he firot
got here, he found there wu ..nothing
going on" and he couldn't find an
individual contracL
Not all his blame is on Cloninger. "I
don't like the idea that I got run around
and discouraged so much. It's fine when
you're in basic studies and you're reaUy

spreading yourself thin.· You become a
jack of aU trades and a muter of none.
Anytime you become a little bit specific
here. and very specific. you're up shit's
creek without a paddle becauae there's
nothing."
Another student complained about the
lack of dramatic ftlm being taught. "Film •
is an art. but some think it's a science.
Sally and Lynn (Cloninger and Patterson)
want to establish a national reputation
for visual anthropology.
We need a
permanent dramatic film teacher. Tom
and Jan (Ott and Krawitz) are nice
people, but we're just too tight. We need
to experiment and play .... The entire
animation area is lying dormant. It bu
been all year."
Referring to the Communications
Building and all the film facult7, both
current and previous, he said, "It's like a
hospital environment.
Uninteresting
thinga, white on the walls. (The faculty)
are like interns walking down the hall.
We need someone who's just a little
crazy, who'U jump and run down the
halls-somebody who'U get the student&
excited and slop uound in the mud
with us."
He talked about other problem,.
"There's been a certain amount of film•
that have left Evergreen that people see,
all over the country, and they come here
with the idea that they're going to be
able to do that kind of work. It turns out
that the majority of tboee film• were
made on an independent contract and
now you can't have an independent
contract."
Two former film students who were
working on an independent
16 mm
project last fall claim that they were in
constant conflict with Cloninger, who
wa.s in charge of the equipment. One of
these student& had been in charge of the
equipment the year before and says he
"taught her everything she knows about
it." Yet. they still had problems getting

access to the equipment, even when
nobody else was using it.
They both say that Cloninger eventu•
ally told them theirs would be the last
independent film project to be made at
Evergreen as long a.a she was here.
I asked Will Humphreys if independent
project& were being stifled and he replied that the needs for program purposes can rule out independent film•
making or make it difficult. He continued
to aay that programa have the first
priority, although independent
filmmalting should be encouraged, but only
Ma second priority. About Cloninger, he
stated approvingly, "Sally ia the first
person hired with the specific objective
of developing programs in filmmaking."
Humphreys
also says the school
doesn't have enough money to hire dif•
ferent kinda of mm faculty. "We've had a
hard time in trying to develop the area
becauae there's been ao little permanent
bculty hiring."
He admitted that lilmmaking has
always been a low priority at Evergreen,
but hopes that in five or six years there
will be lour or five film faculty, thus
giving some stabilit7 in the area.
But Humphreys acknowledged that, at
present. Cloninger bu the moot control
in the film uea. And thia is where some
trouble might boil over, no matter who
is choeen to teach ''Take 2'' next year. ll
the current hostility between Sally
Cloninger and a significant number of
film students continues, it could create
an environment and situation worse than
the Bob Bernard fiasco. The deans need
to be aware of thia.
Thoee reaponaible for ch.-ing
the
next film program faculty now have a
chance to prove that Evergreen does
serve the interests of the student.a and
not just of particular faculty members.
Film students have made it cleu what
they want. The question is: Will they
get it?

Dean Barbara Smith rejected the proposed cable TV group contract for
various reasons, according to Zwerin.
"We were told there was no faculty or
funding available, and that an Evergreen
cable TV station had been tried in the
past and had failed." he said.
There have been some stucjent-run
stations in the pa.st, but they have not
continued for more than about two quarters, according to Fuller.
One of the first attempts was a chemistry show dealing with marijuana
extraction. This caused such an uproar
on campus that a D.T.F. formed and
decided that disclaimers must be aired
before every program. Since then, news
broadcasts and a musie show have
started, but Fuller says personality conflicts often disbanded these attempt&.
It takes a lot of work and coordination
to run a cable station."There have been

for a successful third-party campaign.
"In the past, third-party candidates have

of the spectrum. A John Anderson candi

Carter and Reagan win their parties's
nominations, Anderson could "draw quite
broadly," but because of financing prol>

On the local political scene, Evans refused to comment on the gubernatorial

the college's Olympia location ia extremely helpful.
Evans regards the success of Evergreen graduates who are doing a "f~

that Governor Reagan has a long lead.

toward a possible
Republican nomination of Ronald Reagan
but commented that, 'Tve never failed
to support a Republican candidate yet."
Evans has known and worked with all
the candidates and calls lit>,,ral Republican John Anderson a "sentimental favorite." "It would be impractical to believe
that he (Anderson) could (have won) the

I spent most of my formative years
a-rowing up in the quiet suburb of
Leonia, New Jersey, only five miles from
the "home of the eggcream": New York
City. This geographical fact had an
amazing influence on my palative
preferences.
Within my circle of friends I had the
honor of wearing the "official eggcream
taster" button. This privileged position
in Leonia culture sent me searching
throughout the county for the perfect
eggcream. l devised a quality evaluation
form to objectify those foaming beauties.
Creaminess, foam density, syrup flavor,
and the order ir. which these ingredients
were mixed, all added to the essential
"eggcream extraordinaire."
I would bicycle or enlist the services
of one of my chauffeurs (parents) to an
eggcream establishment. A typical egg•
cream emporium had a long counter with
Heinz's ketchup bottles and coffee
creamers evenly spaced. Behind the
counter were mirrors, greasy grills, and
big glass jars lilled with multi-colored
jelly beans. The waitresses had been
there since World War 2, the cook had a
rounded beer belly from all the VFW
picnics. and there was always a random
"jerk" in white clothes and a little
white cap.
~
"Hilgans" was the place most accesS sible to me and therefore most frequented. I'd walk in, swirl the swivel
seal&, and lope past all the lazy policemen sipping coffee. There were "good
eggcreamers," and "bad eggcreamers,"
and if a "good eggcreamer" lilled my
order I was in for a real treat. If a "bad
eggcreamer" filled my order all was not
lost, the eggcream wu still salvageabJe.

Ignoring the objections of the waitress,
I'd collect the coffee creamers from the
counter and pour their contents into
my drink.
To supply my unquenchable thirst for
eggcreams, and stretch my limited monetary supp)y, [ began to make my own
eggcreams at home. First rd add a
quarter cup of chocolate, vanilla, or
coflee-llavored syrup to a third cup of
cold foamy milk: then from canisters
injected with "whippets" (nitrous oxide,
the stuff the dentist used to dull the pain

when he pulled a tooth) came the last
ingredient,
good old seltzer water.
Delicious.
Unfortunately my eggcream production came to a delirious end when I
realized that I could inhale the "whippet&" and get high, instead ol producing
the final, essential ingredient, seltzer
water.
Thus in Leonia, across the George
Washington Bridge from "the home of
the eggcreams," I expanded my palative
tastes to include various inhalants.

The Art of Egg Cream making is as

When you enter an old-fashioned rest•
aurant, stools squeaking, big belly sweat1
ing over the grill, silverware singing the
familiar opera, faces slouched in the
steam of awareness, your womb is upon
you again and it's time for an Egg
Cream.
The Jungian, archetypal being behind
the counter addresses you, accent like
the thrill of Coyote. A sacred decision
must be made; chocolate or vanilla. As if
your words were monumental, the floor
behind the counter creaks and a glass is
placed below one of the Silver Rams.
While you watch the 9eJtzer fizzle into
the glass, a sound, the one you've been
praying for, is now echoing towards your
ear. The hand is concocting, the swirl in
the glass has a chemistry, velocity. and
texture like the essence of spinning
jewels.
Soon it is approaching your lips, fresh
foam, dawn on the beach, and although
you have done this many times before,
the horizon has never tasted like this.
But, before you know it: oh, the sorrow,
the tragedy; your glass is empty. One
must be brave though and return to the
random world; yet, sweet memory. you
are dose behind.

Every day is Mother's Day
By Nadine JoHnaon
Buzzzzzz. 6:00. Oh God-How come
I'm always so tired in the morning? I
turn off the alarm and rolled over. I'll
just plan my day.
Oh no. It's 7:30. I
just missed my bus. Nc>-1 can't lake the
truck. Just gel up, Nadine. ls that so
hard? 7:40. I have lo gel upl
"Let's get up, Mom."
"Okay, Jackson." Thanks, Babe. I
couldn't do it without you. "Let's get up."
"OK-You
go potty. I'll gel your
clothes." I try lo plan my strategy. I
have only 35 minutes to get ready and
leave the house in order to catch the
next bus. I dress Jackson u quickly u
possible for a two-and-a-half-year-old boy
who'd rather play than gel dreued.
"I want to wear Burt and Ernie."
"No. You can wear thoee aborts tomor•
row." Good. No complaining! I finish putting on his jearu1 and we go dowru1tairs.
Boy, rve got to do aomething with thia
stairway. It echoes when you talk.
"Potatoes? OK, I'll make potatoes.· I
put them on to fry.
..Nol I want st.rawberriesl" He must
have seen them when I opened the refrigerator lo gel the potatoes.
"Here. Eat the strawberries while tbe
potatoes are cooking." Good idea, Nadine.
"Yuml"
I hurriedly look through the refrigerator lo see what I can put in bis lunchpail. Cantaloupe, a slice of apple, and
some raiains. Boy, what a good lunch.
He'll never eat it all. I wonder why he
hun't been eating much lately? I gueaa,
because he's two. And millt.
"Here Jackson. Your potatoes are
done!"
"Yeahl" he says as he claps his hands.

"Orange juice."
I pour his juice.
"Nooo, Moml Milk!"
"Nooo, Jackson! Oruge Julee!''
OK. Twenty minutes left. I have to
take a shower. Just get in and out. No
luxury today. It's your own fault. Five
minutes maximum. Ahhh! This feels so
good! Maybe ten minutes-l'U dress fa.st.
No. Just hurry up. Shampoo. This is so
warm! Hurry up. Get out.
"Jackson, eat your potatoes," I call out
as [ get dressed. Seven minutes. "Hurry
up, Jackson." I know he is playing without even looking.
Okay. Whal next? I don't want to
catch cold-I wonder if I have time to
blow dry my hair? Maybe. I'll put my
boot&on first. "Jacluon. eat your pol&·
toes." I run upstairs and start blowdrying my hair. You sure have come in
handy these La.stfive yean. Wow ... five
years. Chriatmu. Fairbanks. Hurry up,
Nadine. You don't need to gel it dry.
I turn of! the light& aa I run downsta.ira. Three minutes ... Jackson, come

"I want lo eat potatoes," he aays aa he
loolu up lrom the truck he's been playing with.
"Oh man. Juat come here. It's too late
now." I try putting on bia boola but he
wanla lo play "keep away" with bia (eel.
"Jackson, we have to catch the bua."
"I want my potatoes!"
"I'll put them in a baggie for you." I
finish pulti.i,g on hia boot&,grab a ba&gie,
and slide the potatoes in. It looks like
he's eaten about hall of them already.
Good.
"OK, Babe, let's gel your coal on."
1)ffelflihUUi. I hta ta the7i&J"dest part."H&
coal. I Jell hia heavy one al his dad's

house nearly two months ago. Now we
have to go through the battle of putting
on his sweatshirt, which he hates, and a
jacket which he only dislikes. Damn you,
Steve. "OK, come on, Jackson." I'll buy
him a new coat next week. Why haven't
you mailed up his coat? I aaked you to.
Or bring it up and see Jackson. ls that
such an awful chore-to visit your son?
OK, shut up, Nadine, you don't have
time to get mad now. "Thank you,
Jackson. You're such a good boyl Let's
go catch the busl" I put on my coal, grab
his lunch pail and my bag. I'd better get
my notebook. Oh-I wonder if I have a
pencil? Grab one, Nadine. Hurry up,
though, and let's go. "Come on, Jackson."
Yes, my keys are in my pocket.. Lock
the door.
Jackson holds my hand as we walk
down the driveway. This is the longest
driveway. "I don't want to run."
"We'r~ not running, Jackson."
"Don't run!"
"We aren't! Notice-we
are only
walking."
Jackson point&. "Thal man has a lunchpaill"
I smile aa we walk by "Thal man.·
\Vhy ia everyone here so unfriendly?
"Thal waa a game. It looked like a lunchpail, didn't it, Babe? It was red like
yours."
"Don't run!"
''fm not running, Jackson." At least
he isn't crying. "Hey. lookl There's a
birdie with a stick in his mouth!"
"Birdie!" He slops to watch it fly
behind the tree.
"Come on, let's catch the bus, OK,
Jackson?" The last half of the driveway
is the longest. Please, bus, don't go by
yet. "DO yOu want to run, Jackson?"
"No."

"Come on, let's run.'' I start running
and he starts crying. Oh, man! "OK, you
stay there and cry. I'm going to catch
the bus." But I only walk. He crys louder
as he runs to catch up with me. Good. Al
least I don't have to go back after him.
"Hi, Babe! Can I hold your hand?" He
wipes the tears away as he puts his
other hand in mine. Happy again. "I love
you, Little Man."
"Yeah! We made it, Jackson!" I c.an
see for two or three blocks down the
road and the bus is nowhere in sight.
Good. Jackson can play-his favorite part
of waiting for the bus-the pulpit. (A
less imaginative person may have called
it a fire hydrant).
"Thank you, Lordi" he yells out. I
laugh. I wonder if he learned that from
Grampa? "Thank you, Lordi" I hope no
one hears him! Ha. Oh-[ don't care. He's
cute. I wonder if he'll be a preacher. He
sure likes that kind of stuff. "You do
it, Mom!"
Oh no. I look around. No one in sight.
OK. I bend down to speak in the microphone. "Thank you, Lordi" (Preach it,
Sister I)
"Sing B-L-El"
rm glad no one's here today! I st.arted
singing The B-1-B-L-E.
"Do it again!"
"No. You do it."
Boy the bus is late. We didn't need lo
hurry so fast. Oh good, here it comes.
"Here, Jackson, you can put the money
in." He loves to do that. "Here's the bus!"
"I got the money!" Jackson beams.
The bus driver laughs and hands Jackson his bus pass.
There goes Jackson, all the way to the
back of the bus. Ahhh. Relax. Time lo
think.
