Peter Walking, produ~ by the BBC,
will be shown at 7 p.m. at the Olympia Community Center on Fourth and
Puget. A seminar will follow. August 6
is the 35th-year anniversary of the
bombing of Hiroshima.
"The War Games" is a long suppressed British documentary on nuclear
war. "It dramatizes a crisis over 8e(lin
which rapidly escalates from U.S. employment of battlefield nuclear wupons to a Soviet strike on London. The
film concentrates on the period im•
mediately following the explosion of
several nuclear missiles over Britain,
and ends with mass execution of those
too severely injuttd for treatment and •
those who break emergency rationing
rqulations. It is based on British civil
defense manuals and data available 15
years ago on the effect of a thermal
nuclear war."
It is a highly emotional film, which
was banned from airing in Britain because it was described as being of a
..sensational nature.''

NEW RECFIELDCOJ.\,flNG

Trees levelled despite controversy
by Kathy Davis
The bulldozers and backhoes are growling and the dust is flying out by the
Recreation PaviUion. Construction of
Evergreen's new recreation field (see CPJ,
April 10, 1980) has begun and the controversy over a row of alder trees (see CPJ,
April 17. 1980) has been resolved-the
trees are gone.
Phase I of the project, being done by
the Fuller Construction Co. of Bothell,
involves merely clearing and leveling the
site. A couple of areas will be seeded but
no irrigation work will be done. Jhe com•
pletion of this first phase, slated for
October 1, will result In a field which is
"marginaHy usable in dry weather,"
according to Darrell Six of Facilities.
The Washington State legislature has
granted The Evergreen State College
$328,000 to complete the lint part of the
project. If the legislature grants Evergreen
more money, the complete field will cost
a total ot approximately $1.2 million.
A request for the remainder of those
funds has recently been resubmitted. Six
said they will probably decide by April or
May or next year whether the envisioned
field will become a reality.
If funded, the facility (see map) will
feature a new soccer/rugby field surrounded by a 441).yard/400-meter track,
a baseball/softball field, archery atta,
jogging trail, exerciae stations, bleachers,
restrooms, complete lighting and a broadcast booth. The existing rec field will then
become a track and field area with facilities for javelin, shot put, pole vault, etc.
Again, if Phase II of the project is
funded, bidding for construction could
begin in July, 1981, and construction
would take about six months. All of those
features just mentioned would be completed during Phase II.
The April 17 issue of the CPJ reported
a controversy betwee:n the Environmental
Advisory Committee (an Evergreen body
which reviews and advises on college
projects) and Facilities over the fate of
alder trees lining the path between the
existing field and the new one.
According to that report, the EAC
hadn't approved the Anal plan for the

new field b«au~ it included removal of
the trees. According to Scott Elliot, a
member of the committee, they had
approved an earlier plan in which the
trees remained, but they and the Evergreen Council became upset when they
learned that Facilities had decided later to
remove the trees.
Elliot was also concerned with what he
considered Facilities unwillingness to cooperate with the EAC. He claims that
when he went to that office to look over
the plans, he was told th.at he could not
see them until he had an O.K. from
Facilities director, Dave Wallbom. The
director. he said, was very difficult to get
in touch with. "Wallbom doesn't believe
in the Evergreen tradition of open participation," said Elliot. He believes that Wallborn tried to keep the plans for the new
field under wraps as much as possible.
Darrell Six said, "In my mind's eye,
there Was never a discrepancy" over the
trees. He said, ''Those trees were dying
anyhow." because of inadequate drainage.
He stated that the overall drainage plan
for the new field required that the trees be
taken out. Another reason for their removal. he said, was to insure complete
visibility between the two fields. If only
one recreation supervisor was available,
she/he would be able to see injuries or
problems anywhere on the two fields. Six
said it was his imprtssion that the Evergrttn Council and the EAC were simply
asking 'Why'' questions rather than being
opposed outright to the removal of the
trees.
Chris Fitzgerald of the Evergreen
Council said she thought the issue was
more 0£ a misunderstanding over the
accessibility to the plans than a controveny over the trees. She said that when
Elliot was not allowed to see the plans
immediately, he was concerned that
policy was being made without student
input. She said that he and WaUbom
resolved the issue outsid(_ of the Council
meeting.
Elliot said, "It's resolved, the trees are
gone." He claims that the EAC never did
actually approve the plans for the new rec
field because they could never get a lull

Lest we forgetGary Wilson

n.

Infamous Evergreener Gary WU.On, 39, wu arrested on Sunday night for
investigation of malicious mischief. Wilson was in the process of painting two
murals on the Evefl!J'ftfl Parkway /ffiahway 101 overpass.
Wilson is a student In the Computer Services program. One of his murals is
based on a Southeast Alaskan Indian design, and the other is a Harley Davidson
motorcycle scene. Both are done in pastels. At the time of his arttst, the motorcycle scene was not completed, although it is finished now. The Indian mural is
signed. "lest we forget ... Gary WU.On."

quorum to take a ote. He said that Wallborn "gave me the i pression that the
trees would be left in." He found out
otherwise only when he saw that they
were gone.
Another question that came up last
April (and was reported in the Journal)

was whether Wallbom had filed a State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) impact
statement. At that time, he was "not sure"
if that had been done. Recently, Six
assured the CPJ that Facilities has "prescribed by all the laws of the state and the
college" and a SEPA statement was filed.

S&ABOARDME£f5

Board warned of
imminent tuition hike
by Ben Alexander
Tuition is going up next year for all
state colleges and universities, and Evergreen stands to lose the most if one proposal passes, according to Gretchen
Sorenson, member of the S&:A Board and
representative to the Washington Association of University Students (WAUS), of
which Evergreen is a member.
Currently, the Legislature appropriates
the tuition money for all state schools.
and Evergreeners pay 17% of their costs.
There is a legal tuition ceiling of 25 % of
costs. However, Sorenson said that the
University of Washington's president
wants the ceiling raised to 48% and the
schools to allocate their funds individually.
Sorenson is convinced that this proposal would hurt Evergreen immensely,
because .Evergrttn's per-student costs are
much higher than for any other Washing·
ton State college. Most of the buildings
on campus are still being paid of£. becau~ they are so MW (unlike other state
school campuses). This accounts for most
of Evergreen's higher costs, said Sorenson: Evergreen's academic costs are com·
parable to other schools.
For these a
!.toposed_
to the S&:A Board at their first summer
meeting on Monday, July 28, that they
create a legislative liaison internship to
work with WAUS next winter quarter on
this and other relevant legislative issues.
She pointed out that other schools have
such a student position, adding that the
S&.A Board would not have to pay room
and board for such a student, due to
Evergreen's proximity to the capitol. The
Sa.A Board agr,ed to investigate the
possibility of such an internship, including
checking on its legality.
Another discussion topic at the meeting,
which was attended by only three board
memben, was the July Board of Trustees
meeting. According to Sa.A Budget Director Lynn Gamer, misconceptions about
the S&.A allocations prOCftS were running

rampant at that meeting.
ln June, when questions about the S&.A
process first came up, the Board of Directors ordered Personnel Director Rita
Cooper to investigate th~ S&:A process
and report back. Cooper asked Ever•
grttn's legal counsel Richard Montecucco
to interpret the laws governing S&:A
process and report back to her.
Montecucco reported back that the current process for selecting S&A Board
members might be illegal. He also questioned the lack or administrative review
of S&:A decisions. In a subsequent meet•
ing, Garner, Cooper and others agreed
that Montecuc co had misread the laws.
All of this added up to general chaos
when Cooper reported back to the
trustees last month, said Garner. Despite
her confidence that the S&:A Board processes are legitimate. she warned board
members that there may be a OTF to investigate the S&A Board and its policies,
next fall.
One of the major agenda items was the
hiring of a new S&:A Coordinator .and filling vacant seats on the board. The members present agreed to rotate the coordinator's responsibilities among themselves
until fall thus saving the...mone.yJ:"equired to hire a summer coordinator. In
the fall. however, the coordinatorship is
still open, as are 3 student positions,
1 staff position, and 1 faculty position.
All positions run for,. full school year.
As there was no quorum present. the
board could not act on any funding proposals. The meeting was mainly informational, organizational. and Garner reviewed all of the proposals that have been
submitted to her since the last S&A meeting. These included proposals from Rec
Center Director Pete Steilberg and from
Diane Winslow (re ACCESS).
Other topics included the Dayca~
Center. the Arts Resource Center, the
Evergreen Van, KAOS. and fund balances. No action was taken on any of
these.

Three major administrative appointments have been made at The Evergreen Stat• College.
Provost Byron Youtz has appointed
Dr. Richard Alexander to a two-year
term as assistant academic dean, and
Dr. Guy Adams to a one-year term as
director of the master's degree program
in public administration. Concurrently,
Director of Community Relations Les
Eldridge has appointed Evergreen alum
Steve Hunter to the pennanent post of
director of institutional research.
Dr. Alexander, who recently returned from a six-month assignment as
an exchange professor in English at
Kobe University
of Commerce in
Japan, joined Evergreen's teaching team
in 1970 as a member of the planning
faculty. He formerly taught at San
Jose State College, Knox College in
Galesburg, Illinois, and the University
of Illinois after completing his bachelor's degree in English from Emory
University,
his master's degree in
English from Tulane University, and
his doctorate, also in English, from the
University of IHinois. His new assignment begins September 1 and continues
through August 31, 1982.
Dr. Adams has for the past six
months served as codirector of Evergreen's first graduate program in public
administration, which opens for 45
students next fall. He joined the Evergreen faculty in 1978 after serving as a
lecturer for the Department of Public
Administration
at California State
University at Hayward. He holds a
bachelor's degree in history from
Temple University, a master's degree in
public administration from the University of New Mexico, and his doctorate
in public administration from George
Washington University.
Hunter, the newet member of the
Evergreen team, served as acting dittetor of the Office of Institutional
Research since October. He w•s previously employed as a research assistant
for both the Office of Community
Relations, and the Office of Alcoholism, Department of Social and Health

OLYMPIA AWARDED
FOR RECYCLING
The Washington State Department
of Ecology awarded its "Certificate of
Appreciation" to the City of Olympia
for its outstanding contribution in aiding recycling.
A unique plan to encourage and reward recycling has been in operation
in Olympia for 1 1/2 years. Customers
were given a choice of a single IOgallon can at a low rate or a 32-gallon
can at a higher raie.
More than 5% of the households are
using the 10-gallon can rate. This program provides an excellent incentive lo
recycle, and help ·solve our solid waste
problems. The Department of Ecology
is encouraging similar programs in
other communities statewide through
the State Litter Control and Recycling
Program.

"Not guilty,"
Judge Steven R.
Schaefer announced to a packed courtroom on July 24. It was a clear victory
for political activist Jonathan Foe who
was arrested last April for posting an
anti-draft leaflet on a city utility pole.
Judge Schaefer found that ..Jonathan
Foe had been singled out for selective
enforcement" of the Seattle ordinance
prohibiting the use of public property
for private purposn.
'This is a matter of freedom of

INTERVIEW
WID-1EX-GREENER

('()mmisioner Barner up for re-election
by Ken Silverstein
This is the firsl in a series oF-interviews
with candidates running for local office
this November. This week I talked with
George Barner. 39, ex-Evergreen student
and ""' -time singer in a rock and roll
band. He is now a candidate for reelection to the office of County Commissioner. We talked about some current
local issues and his chances for ~ltttion
this November:
Q. You're an old Evergreener, aren't
you7

A. Yeah. I graduated from Evergreen in
what was actually 1973 but I wasn't l~it1mately graduated until 1979 because I
had a problem with some credits that
weren't transferred right, so I had to go
back there an extra quarter to make up
for those credits that were confused.
Q. Did you first become interested in
politics at Evergreen or has it been a lifelong interest 7
A. Well, I grew up in a rather political
family. My father was in local govern•
ment as a former mayor of a community
and was a state employee appointed by
previous governors and was very much
involved in statewide politics and cam•
paigns
he ran for local office in Thurston County both as mayor of Olympia
once and also for county treasurer. Didn't
succeed either of those times but was
very. very involved and received a pretty
good bas, of support.
Q. What were the first actions that you
took. once you became involved polit·
1callyl
A. I guess the first things I got involved
in were helping out in a few campaigns
back in the fifties with my father when he
was working on some state campaigns,
and then like I say I got out of it. Coming
home Ifrom Europe) in 1968 to the
Chicago riots at the Democratic National
Convention, and immediately perceiving
things were very askew, I decided I could
maybe best contribute by just going back
to school and trying to get a degree in
something and getting involved. I chose
sociology to try and figure out a way I
could do something constructive and help
people solve some problems of social
upheaval. So when I went to school in
Centralia here, close to Olympia, I
immediately got involved in two things;
1968 was the year that McCarthy upset
Johnson. I did work for Eugene McCarthy
to a limited extent and I also got involved
in student politics at Centralia.
Q. When did you first run for public
office7
A. I was elected precinct committeeman
in 1968. '70 and again in '72. In 1972 J
was al Evergreen, my se<ond year there.
I'd been doing an internship, out of state
for about three or four months, all
charged up because of the commitments
Id gotten involved in, not partisan
politics. but organizing voter registration
drives, being involved in environmental
issues
this stimulated me to get in•
valved locally. So I got some other students at Evergreen who were interrsted,
.rnd some local people I knew from when
I worked in a legislative campaign in
Thurston County
and we put together
a campaign organization, a bunch of
underfinanced locals, and went for it. I
was in a campaign for slate representative
against three other Democrats and I won
the primary and then I ran against the

gentleman from the Republican party,
who was in fact the fellow who gave me
my diploma from high school when I
graduated about ten years before that.
(Barner lost by several perce.ntage points.)
lnat was a tremendous experience, really
a learning time for me.
Q. When did you win the county com•
missioner election?
A. November of I 976.
Q. The fourth draft of the zoning ordinance is currently being debated. I understand that you're opposed to the fourth
draft. Whyl
A. I think the main reason is that the
third dratt, as I see it, had more specifics
and more definition about identifying the
rulrs. It's my contention that, whether it
be the homeowner, the taxpayer, the
renter. the businessperson. the developeranyone who is involved in paying the
bills to operate the community, whether
it's a small town or a big city or a
county-if the rules are well defined
everybody knows the rules, they can look
at the document, look at the specifics and
know what's expected and what's required. A lot of the things that were in
the third draft of the zoning ordinance
were either removed or to some degree
watered down, and that effects directly
the kinds of development that will happen
in this county.
Q. Could you name some specific items
that were changed betwttn the third and
the fourth draftl
A. Some of the most specific things that
I'm concerned about are some of the environmental standards that were in place
in the third draft document. That involves
the amount of review, and when I say
review that means the amount of time
that's going to be spent looking at a ·proposed development and its impact on the
area ... whether it means there's going to
be fewer feet of-setback from a main
road, or less distance, rather than more
distance between -arterials and comen ...
Height limitations were removed which
affect high rise, which does two things,
High rise is aestheticaUy unpleasing in the
case of certain locales and also, in terms
of options down the road, people who
want to build passive solar in a neighbor·
hood where you get high rise development
can be impacted by that. If you require at
some point, which we hope to, access to
sun by assuring that people don't let their
trees grow too high, once you bui1d a
building SO or 60 feet high you may
totally obliterate somebody's potential to
have passive solar housing. There are a
lot of things like this that are not visible
on the surface which are real environmen•
tal standards that I think need lo be in the
document. I don't think they're gonna be
there if the fourth draft oasses.
Q. What are the chances of the fourth
draft being passed]
A. Two members of the board (Com•
missioners Del Pettit and Woody Ander•
son) voted in the affirmative to move
forward with the fourth draft. .. and le.ave
it pretty much in its present form.
Q. What are the implications of the
passage of the fourth draft, specifically
for th, Cooper Point area7
A. This may end up being tested in a
court situation, but oner that ordinance
passes it will, in effect, repeal the Cooper
Point ordinance. That wu the indicated
intent of the majority of the board, that

the new ordinancr would supercede all
existing ordinances. At lent seven out of
the 9 of Ithe subareas) have gotten plans
drawn up that were directly in reflection
of the people who live in those areas who
developed those plans. It appears that ten,
twelve years ago when. the process started,
1he intent was to get a plan that reflected
the concerns and uniqueness of each of
the subareas. Now this Board of Commis-sioners is saying in a majority voice that
everybody in the county ought to be
treated equally or the same, a.nd I don't
necessarily agree with that. People have
made monetary investments, they've put
in their time, their energy ... and with
that investment I think they're entitled to
some support from the Board of Commis-sioners ... and I think this fourth draft
may not do th, job that's n«essary to uphold that kind of support.
Q. There's bttn several reports of an

impending energy shortage in the Pacific
Northwest. Puget Power has said that by
the mid to late 1980's there could be a
cri5is situation if alternative energy
sources are not tapped. What would you
recommend to ease the coming mugy
shortage in the Northwest 7
A. I would get really serious about con•
servation ... Any energy that you don't
use is energy that you save. I'd say that
conservation would be the number one
item-insulation, new design in architectural tKhniques, making we of passive
solar. 1 think that we are going to get
more and more serious about convenion,
whether it be generating steam from
methane, conversion from sewage or
possible shredding and burning of gar~for steam. Recycling is one of the
aspects of refuse disposal that hopdully
would come with classification. I think
wind powe:r ia very definitely a potmtia.l

Citizens' -Party eonirention well attended

to augment all types. 1 think in the very
near future that we'll probably be lighting
portions. of Central Washington with
energy off wind from the Columbia gorge
... the wind blows night and day up the
gorge. I think we have potential-we
know it's been happening in France in the
middle 1960's-they've bttn using tidal
power ver:y effectiTely. In the inland
sound here we have the potential for 24.
hour-a-day generation of power of some
sort from mechanical devices that would
make use of tidal energy. You can go on
and on. We may even have the potential
for geothermal here. Wood waste is going
to be a big one. These are all state of the
art technologies that we could make use
of if the commitment was there. It would
probably involve a pretty significant in•
vestment of money up front by some
public agencies and maybe in conettt with
private industry, but it should be
happening.
Q. Why does it require that initial
investment?
A. It hasn't been shown to enough
people's liking that energy conversion is
cost effective, and in fact it isn't really
cost effective yet, but there has to be
some point where you make a commit•
ment to start the ball rolling, to make a
public example of the fact that this can
work. So you have the opportunity to
showcase to pcivate industry who is in
the business of making money-it's the
incentive that makes the wheels tumthat it's worth their while to invest some
money.
Right now it's the very wealthy people
who control the resources-the petroleum
interests who have been moving into the
nuclear energy fields and expanding into
coal and other resources. I would hope
that public agencies would show that the
solar option can work and force the issue.
Q. How about nuclear energy] Would
you prefer to see that option punuedl
A. Definitely not. Nuclear <n<!rllYto me
is too gnat a liability from the standpoint
of the cost of labor and materials and
construction costs and all the requirements that I think are rightly in place by
government to ensure safety standards.
It's a situation where it's not cost effective
to build nuclear plants. The problem of
waste handling was never even considered
in the construction costs of a nuclear
power plant. The industry in this country
has always claimed that nuclear power
plants have operated 80 percent of the
time. In fact, they sometimes don't evm
operate 50 percent of the time. That
coupled with construction costs and the
storage of radioactive waste. . it makes
little sense to me. It's a disaster.
Q. Another current issue is log ex.port.
What's your position on this issue?
A. Well, I've been in contact with soine
of the people who are directly affected by
the log export issue, that's the longshore
industry, the people who load the ships,
and they're saying they don't really support the long-term exports of logs but
until the mills in this country get to a
point where they'll be able to cut lumber
in centimeters, millimeters, according to
international sta.ndards that we're faced
with that reality (of exporting). That may
be true.
If we kept the logs here and processed
them, we'd have a chance to peel them, to
remove the bark from them. All these
materials are potentially good for providing a meaningful supplement for
energy generation.
I think that the issue of jobs is very
realistic. On the one hand, rapid depletion

of logs provides the opportunity for immediate rep1ant, but you have at least a
40--year cycle before you can begin to
harvest that timber. Even at that you're
going to be getting softer wood. We need
to preserve some of these logs, on public
land especially, because they are a public
resource.
If the mills in the private sector really
moved rapidJy to retool their mill operations they could, in fact, provide a greater
amount of jobs.
Q. Last year a. home rule charter was
on the ballot in Thunton County which
would have given residents here a much
greater role in local decision making. That
was defeated. Do you think another home
rule charter might be possible within the
next few years and would you support
one7
A. Yeah, I think it will happen within
the next three to five years, there'll be
another move to get going. There w,1s a
request that the commissioner's put it
back on the ballot this year by the League
of Women Voters and a coalition of local
people, but two things are at work there.
We've got a major election this year
which I think would adversely tax the
resource of not only the political parties,
but also the ~pie who are concerned
about politics in general. l think they
would be in tight money situations.
people an trying to generate campaign
money, campaign orga.niz.ations. To invest
the time and money it takes to write a.
good charter ... I think we would confuse
a lot of the issues tha.t are going to be on
the ballot this year by adding additional
decisions. One of the problems we're
having is apathy ... people are not buying
into the decision-making process, so if
you confuse it any more. you neutralize
the potential for dear-headed drcisions.
I think the other thing was that the
charter that was on the ballot Wt time
was not a good document ... All along
I've advocated a charter because it would
allow initiative and referendum ... but not
with a six-year executive and a part-time
council (which were included in the last
home rule charter) who gives part-time
~presenta.tion. If you're going to be doing
a good job representing our constituents
you've got to be there all the time, avail•
able to them and responsive and accessi•
ble. A part•time council is not accessible.
Q. The other two county commissioner's-Del Pettit and Woody Ander•
son-don't seem to share your views on
many of the issues. How effective can you
be in a situation where you're in the
minority?
A. I'm not. probably as effective as I'd
like to be. I'm probably seen by them as
sort of a fringe perspective-some of the
things I advocate, like trying to retain a
certain number of trees per acre, makes
sense because we have need to p~rve
clean air and the ability of trees through
transporation to clean air and the ability
to hold water in the soil for watershed
purposes. These are extremely important
and they don't see that.
I think what's good though is to have
someone with a similar persuasion as my·
self, whether it be: me or someone else,
who has the sensitivity towards those
kine' of concerns that need to be voiced.
It may not mean that they' re going to be
in the majority but being on the record
and having them 5"id forces the other
members of the board to deal with them.
At some point, perhaps, they'll see the
merit of some of those perspectives.
Q. You're up for ~lection this year.

Do you anticipate it being a close race7
A. It's hard for me to say whether it's
going to be close or not. I understand,
from what everyone's saying, it could be
a very close race. I'm a little surprised
that the gentleman in the auditor's chair
(Sam Reed) would take this opportunity
to run at mid•term, rather than even
filling out one full term that he was
elected to serve. I'm not sure what that
says about the commitment to the job.
I've worked ... rather specifically on
behalf of consumers, home owners, tax•
payers, and want to represent the interests
of the citizens of this county the best I
can and have tried to do that. I think
there is an awareness about my commitment to the job, but there is also the
aspect of the development community
that sees me perhaps as a roadblock or an
obstacle to their operations. If they decide
to back that other person, that will cer•
tainly tell me and may tell other peopl,,
too, why that person's running and what
the outcome would be if that person were
elected on money from the development
community. I don't envision that I'm
. going to get any of that development
money ... because there's been times when
I've voted against some developments
simply because the merits of the case
didn't show that they were warranted.
Q. You're a Democrat. Do you expect
to support the Democratic nominee for
President assuming that nominee is Jimmy
Carter, or will you support the Democratic nominee whoever that person
might bel
A. That's a very tough question to
answer. For one thing, I'm deeply in·
valved in Democratic politics in this
county so I ha.ve somewhat of a responsi•
bility and commitment to carry that
Democratic banner. Whether I can support that nominee, I guess tha.t will come
down to a decision I'll have to make when
we see who that nominee is. I may
overtly support the Democratic nominee
and make some kind of conscious decision
in the ballot box.
I think your question alludes to thirdparty options ... there have bttn times in
the past when I've voted for independent
candidates for various reasons for differ~
ent level officrs. I'm looking for people to
present viable options and if they're viable
enough, people will begin to recognize
that.
Q. Are you supporting any candidate
for Governor at this lime. or will you
support the Democratic nominee, whoever
that will be]
A. That is another difficult question but
I'd say that one of the people who is cur•
rently opposing the incumbent Governor,
Mr. McDermott, was someone that I supported in 1972 when I ran for the House
and he ran for thr Govrrnor's chair. I see
a new Democratic governor, as perhaps a
positive change. We've has a Governor
for the past 3 1/2 years who's supported
this pipeline potential which has some real
major concerns environmentally. (SM''s)
supported the proliferation or expansion
of tankers on the Sound which I think
would be detrimental; the nuclear power
issue of course, too. II was reported
recently that Mr. Oare attempted to get a
report published that gave credence to
passive solar power and because passive
solar en"gy was pernived by the Gov•
ernor as not relevant to the energy issue
(it was not published). I think it's a shame
and if that in fact continues to be the
posture of the incumbent, I'd have a real
hard time supporting tha.t person.

coming endeavor. The auditorium was
about four.fifths full as the conve:ntion
convener, Phil Schwartzk.roin, started by
outlining the party's position on state
issues.
The position of the Citizens Party on
Washington State issues mirrors the
national platform for the party. The
Washington State sector supports domrstic use of Washington fo~t resources,
phasing out all nuclear power plants,
passage of Initiative 383 (Don't W.iste
Washington), full employment, prison
reform, and development of mass transit
and renewable energy resources. They

Tier pipeline, and offensive military

The first speaker was Ruth Weiner, the
v1ce•president of the Washington Environ-

mental Council. Weiner covered a wide
range of environmental issues, from
wilderness preservation to nuclear waste
storage. 'With less tha.n two percent of
United States 1.and still in its original state,
wilderness preservation is an ethical requirement," she stated.
Roberto Maesta.s, the executive director
of El Centro De La Raz.a, spoke next on
the effects of the present political situation
on human nttds and services in Washington State. Starting with the line: "Welcome back to the sixties," he went on.to
provide many insights on the problems
minorities are having in this state. Maestas
emphasized that there ha.s been no real
improvement in the treatment of minorities in this country since the sixties.
Optimistic about the possibilities of the
Citizens Party, he stressed the nttd for

more campaigning in minority neighbor•
hoods.
La Donn.a Harris, vice preside:ntial
candidate of the Citizens Party, was the
keynote spea.ker. She did not seem well
prepared or comfortable in front of the
lorge group of people. Her "talk often
wandered from the focus of her topic,
which was the: progress the party is
making on a national level. Although
Harris told the audience that the Citizen,;
Party is "the beginning of something very
new and very important," her speech con•
tained hardly any information beyond
general accusations against the large corporations in the United States.
The Citizens Party has gotten onto the
ballot in 20 stales so far. and they expect
to get on at lea.st 35 to 40 sta.te ballots
before election time.

comm1s1()Ders face tough races

by Ben Alexander
Every year. when election day rolls
around in November, many Evergrttners
leave the booth shaking their heads, with- •
out having voted on many local issues
and races that may have much more influence over their day-to-day lives than
such nebulous "issues" as the presidential
election. For instance, the winners of the
upcoming county commissioner races
could decide whether or not Cooper Point
takes on the appearance of a New Jersey
suburb over the next few years.
Therefore, what follows 1s a synopsis of
1he upcoming local. county, and state
races which Thurston County voters will
be faced with this year. As well as these
races. Initiative 383. the nuclear waste

the Boston Harbor area, Tenino and
Bucoda. George Barner, the current commissioner from this district, is up for reelection this year (see related article), and
R1tpublican Auditor Sam Reed is challenging him. Also, Lacey businessman Ken
Michael plans to file as an independent,
though he insists that he is not just jumplnK on the political bandwagon.
District 2, the eastern area, includes
Rainier, Yelm, Lacey, Tanglewilde and
Thomas Place. Current commissioner Del
Pettit is stepping down at the end of this
year, and Lacey mayor Karen Fraser is

THURSTON-MASON COUNTY
SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE
In Washmghm State, the Superior
Court is thl' tnJI court of records, where
most cast>Sare heard. Thurston and
Mason count•~ form a single judicial district, representt'd by five nonpartisan
1udges. Their main office is in Thurston

County, but they generally travel to
Mason County at least once a week.
Usually. the facts of a case are decided
by the Superior Court. Cases which go on
to the Court of Appeals or the state
Supreme Court are almost always over
technicalities of law. Most casn are heard
by the Superior Court except minor traffic
offenses and civil suits, which go to the
lesser District Court.
Felonies, lawsuits over $300, and divorce proceedings all go to the Superior
Court. Also heard there are property disputes, tax questions. wills and estates and
appeals of District Court decisions.
Superior Court judges are required to
be impartial and to render decisions within 90 days. They are barred from having
private law practices.
The code of judicial conduct which
directs the judges requires that they be
faithful to the law, maintain ordtr and
decorum in the courtroom, be courteous
to all who appear before them, give
everyone a full opportunity to speak. dispose of business promptly and limit
public commitments.
Current judges Gerry Alexander. Hewit
Henry. Robert Doran. Carol Fuller and
Frank Baker are all seeking reelection,
unopposed, to another four-year term.
To run for office, one must be an
attorney residing in Thurston or Mason

PRECINCTCOMMITTEEMEN
Precincts are supposed to be the grassroots organizations at the foundation of
our political system. In reality, many of
them do not function at all, and many
precinct positions go unfilled each year.
There are 141 precincts in Thurston
County, roughly representing neighborhoods, and each precinct has a Democratic and a Republican officeholder to represent the area residents in local party
matten.
Though some precinct committeemen
organize their neighborhoods to rouse the
voters on election day, most serve other,
more bureaucratic functions, such as organizing the party's county political structure and voting for a county chairperson.
Precinct repr-Hentatives may participate
in a variety of activiti"5 ranging from
running fundraisers to rallying behind a
candid.at, or piece of legislation. They
serve for a two-year term. The top vote-getter from each party also serves on the
County Central Committee of each
resp«tive party.
Tho filing period •nds on Friday.

Two thirigs struck us about the Upward
Bound program as we visited them at
their living quarters, the dorms. We
stopped by as they were saying their
goodbyes.
The first thing was the feelirig of tremendous community spirit. Here were
gathered some 60 kids. many of whom
hadn't known each other be/ore the program began. They had formed strong ties
in their six short weeks of battling mmh,
science, social history Rnd English together. There wa.s also Rn aura of wellbeing and confidence. Many of them had
ideas about where they were heading.
Julie will be in a business administration
program in two years, Pat is planning to
become a registered nurse, and CaPrelt
will study fashion desi .
On theday we-visited, the hurried
goodbyes between staff and students were
warm. Gne by one their parents or rides
arrived and the students appeared in the
office for a final hug, hondshake or wisecrack. With relief thot their charges were
rio longer their responsibility and despond.er.I sighs that their extended family was
breaking up. the staff returned the
farewells.
Obviously. o great deal of love and
respect had been shared between these
teachers and students. We expen'enced a
sensation of family strength that our
school could perhaps learn from. Although we are a larger institution. a sense
of w,11-being is nect55'1ry for all of U5.
J,\,'eeach need to belong. Theu kids seem
to show w: a way.
This summer, as in the last three, high
school stu~ts
from the Tacoma arH

gathered here to participate in the Upward
Bound program. This program is designed
to provide those students with support
services that will help them to graduate
from high school and enter post-secondary
education. For the students involved. 1t is
a lot of hard work and fun.
To take part in Upward Bound. the students were required to have finished at
least one year of high school, be from a
low-income family and have college
potential. The classes offered included
Language Arts, Social Studies, Natural
Sciences. Mathematics and Reading. Most
of the students enjoyed the opportunity
and freedom to learn what they wanted
and to master skills in their particular
area of interest. The classes were smaller
than at an average high school, which
gave the kids the benefit of a closer
student /teacher relationship.
-A..i.¥pioal day f-0<-½ne~sluefflt>

with five classes. Then, they proceeded to
their on-campus jobs. where they worked
for two or three hours each weekday.
They worked at the Rec Center, for th,
video crews, in the photography lab, for.
academic advising, the accounting office
and at many other jobs around campus.
After a four-hour break, the students
attended mandatory study hall from
9-10:30 p.m. By this point in the day,
some of the students said they were ready
to drop. But rnost were glad they stuck
with it because they said study hall improved their study habits tremendously.
During each session, they focused on one
particular subject. This method helped the
students to concentrate on a single topic
rather than jumping from subject to subject out of borrdom.
Upward Bound students were not dis-heartened about thrir futures. They had
