- How do you like that new jalopy?
- That's a dinky little steering wheel.
- Ain't it a goddamned thing?
- If you get in a hurry, your hands get
all screwed up.
- They hit the horn - toot, toot - like
the Plymouth.
- See anybody on the parkway?
- Nope. A car, )CR 647. Probably ran
out of gas.
- I saw it too. Be real easy to steal.
It's got push buttons, no ignition switch.
It was just after midnight on a Tuesday
morning. Clayton Sturgis and I had just
returned from a vehicle patrol of the campus. There had been a report of some high
school kids harassing people in their cars
at 17th and Overhulse. We saw no one,
and so continued on a routine patrol of
the roads and parking lots around campus.
Now Sturgis and Ken Clair were talking
about the new car Campus Security has, a
smaller one to save gas, and about an
abandoned station wagon that we spotted
along the parkway.
Clayton Sturgis has worked for Campus
Security since before the college opened.
He started as a security guard for the company that watched over the construction
of the library building and the mobile
homes that housed the college's nascent
ac.Jmfoistration. Sturgis is 66. He is slightly
bald with short white'hair. Earlier in the
evening I walked with him as he locked
up the library. The task took 45 minutes,
and traced an efficient path through every
major interior and exterior door in the
building. Sturgis told of a harrowing experience one night on Red Square. He confronted four drunks out cruising from
town who did not appreciate his suggestion that they leave campus. They threatened to attack Sturgis. "I backed up against the jeep and took off my key ring.
I put it in my fist like this." He arranged
his set of keys into makeshift brass knuckles. "l told them, 'You can have my keys
if you want, but I sure as hell guarantee
that somebody is going to get their face
cut up awful bad."' He said the four reconsidered and backed down.
HUMAN BEINGS FIRST
Evergreen's security crew is different
from that at many other colleges. Other
schools frequently hire outside forces, or
outfit their people with unifonns and
weapons. Evergreen security people are
not armed, and they don't see their role as
police. Security Chief McDonald Smith
told me, "We're here for the students, faculty and staff. Human beings first. then
the damn materials second." The emphasis
is on making Evergreen a safe and emotionally comfortable place to live and
learn.
"I used to see Donna Manson out here
all the time," Sturgis told me as we patrolled the darkness around campus. "She'd
be out walking along the road at one and
two a.m, and I'd stop and tell her that she
shouldn't walk around alone like that. I
knew her quite well. I think I was the last
one to see her the night she disappeared."
"She was abducted one night walking
from the dorms to the lecture halls, right7"
I asked.
"Uh-huh. I saw her earlier, walking
alone by the steam plant. She was a pretty
girl. I remember telling her that she should
walk with a friend or something, goddamn it.'' Sturgis turned on the spotlight
mounted on the side of the car and directed it on the brush alongside the road.
"I usually see some deer out here this time
of night." We cruised on up Marine Drive.
"None tonight, I guess." He flipped off
the lamp.
lliE NOONTIME R.ASHER
Security will provide an escort for women who must walk from the school to the
parking lots, the dorms, or ASH at night.
Smith said that peopl• nttd only call. "If

I

who steal things and then return thern af ·
ter a change of heart. An applic,mt for
matriculation who was suspected of stealing an I BM typewriter and other office
equipment was passed the word by friends
that he would not be prosecuted if he returned everything. He did return the items
and no charges were pressed.
DRUGS

I asked Smith if there wa!> more or les._
drug use on campus now than m the past
He replied that at the begmni'lg of the
year drug use was down. "But since winter quarter we know that there are some
hard drugs being used around campus.
We are checking for this more frequently.
and are especially looking for the way
they get on campus."
When I asked him what sort of hard
drugs he was talking abou,, he told me
that there were reports of the use ol cocaine and uppers and downers.
Oayton Sturgis on a vehicle patrol in the new security cu.
we don't answer, call back in a few minutes. Sometimes we're out on patrol."
Smith said that reports of sexual assaults
or harassment have been low this year.
The exception was the noontime flasher.
"For a whiJe betWeen ten and noon on
the Evergreen parkway an exhibitionist
frequently stepped out from the bushes,
dropped his pants, and abused himself at
women pnsing on bicycles. He was in the
24- to 35-year-old age bracket, with a
pudgy stomach. I think he's been apprehended now, though, as they caught a
flasher in Olympia who fits that description, and there haven't been any more reports of flashings in a while."
"SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET KILLED"
All of the security personnel I spoke
with mentioned potential traffic accidents
on the parkway as one of their greatest
worries. Smith said that the stop sign at
the main entrance to the school on the
parkway is his most immediate concern.
"Somebody's gonna get killed there," he
predicted. "The faculty and staff, when
five o'clock rolls around, just go shooting
out. We've already had two minor accidents." He said that one day they sat out
at the sign with a video student, taping
people who ran the stop sign for a report
on Campus Video. "In an hour I think we
watched 50 people go through without
stopping. Some never even slowed down."
Another hot spot is the intersection of
Kaiser road and the parkway. Smith told
me that a couple of months ago they had
six accidents there within one week. Two
accidents occurred in one day. Smith said
the accidents were by no mear(s minor: in
each case someone went to the hospital.
As a result Smith got together with Facilities Director Bob Strecker and cut back
the trees on the southwest corner of the
intersection. "It would have been okay if
people obeyed the speed limit." Smith
said, "but many people do 40 or 50 down
that parkway and you just couldn't see
safely around the comer. I've asked the
sheriff to bring his radar out here. And
we will start giving citations ourselves for
that."
"TRUE AND LAWFUL DEPITTIES"
I asked Smith if the sheriff has jurisdiction on coll~e property, as I have heard
rumors that the sheriff can't give tickets
on campus roads. "Some people have received tickets for speeding on campus by
the sheriff," he said. "Faculty come to me
and expect me to do something, saying
that they thought the county had no authority out here. This campus ii under the
jurisdiction of Thurston County and its
deputies make frequent patrols out here,"
Most of the full-time security personnel
are sheriff's deputies. Smith showed me a
small green plastic card in his wallet, em-

blazoned with an ornate star and signed
by Thurston County Sheriff Don Redmond. Security people can arrest people.
although no one has yet invoked their authority to do so.
"All of the law really cooperate with us
well," said Smith. "They let us take care
of most of our own problems, but they
are ready to back us up if we have any
serious trouble." Smith said there was usually a sheriff's patrol car cruising near the
college that could respond to a call for assistance within four or five minutes.
Security also cooperates with law enforcement agencies. including the FBI. For
example they regularly mail the COOPER
POINT JOURNAL to the FBI at its re•
quest. Security also mails the JOURNAL
to the sheriff and the Olympia police.
THE DELTA ALARM SYSTEM
After the vehicle patrol with Sturgis,
hung around the security office until the
alarm system came on. At one a.m., a
computer activates the Delta Alarm System, a magnetic system wired to c11I
main doors, set off at .my disturbance. A computer terminal in the Security
office prints a coded number for a specific
door when its alarm is tripped. As we set
out to check some ~larms in the CAB
building, Clair told me that most of the
alarms are triggerffi by students leaving
the buildings after hours. He said people
used to call in before they left, which
saved them a lot of footwork. but lately
people haven't been calling. In addition to
the magnetic alarms. high risk areas like
the bank and the bookstore have infrared
or microwave sys'tems that detect any
movement within the room.
Random foot patrols are aiso made
through the buildings as another measure
against theft. "We don't do things routinely," Smith said. "We check a place.
then come back in maybe five minutes,
then take another route and check back in
20 minutes, then maybe 40 and so on."
Irregular patrols are made so that potential
thieves cannot count on security personnel
being anywhere at a certain time. Thefts
have dropped in the past couple of years,
and Clair said that it was because they
started making the patrols random instead
of routine.
ARTTHEIT
But theft still occurs. Two weeks ago
approximately $1,800 worth of jewelry
and small artifacts. part of the current
show of Oceanic art from the Melanesian
Islands. were stolen from a display case in
the library gall<ry. The case had a faulty
lock, and the thiof openly took the objects
during library hours. No one has been
caugnt.
Security is generally leni~nt with people

Smith said that much of tneir informc1tion comes from students who happen to
overhear a conversation or see something
suspicious. "Someday I'll get lucky on this
dope thing," Smith said. ''Some students
have given me descriptions, but there are
so many people that fit them."
Another thmg Smith mentioned in connection with drug use on campus were un•
confirmed reports of "pot parties" held 1n
the buildings after hours. Some students
have permission by their faculty and security to work in the buildings after they
are locked. but Smith warned that thio:.
was not a privilege to be abused by bringing friends in £or parties.
Beer is becoming the biggest drug on
campus. and Security 1s most concerned
with seeing that people get banquet licenses for any keggars that people might
hold on campus property. Last Saturday
night, May 7, an unlicensed party in the
dorms got out of control, and Security
had to ask for assistance from the sheriff.
Much of the work Security does depends
on tips from faculty, students. and staH. I
was surprised to learn that many ~ople
openly talk about committing a crime before they do anything. "Law enforcement
is only as good as the community." Smith
said. "People here are very concerned and
helpful."

LISA HABER IS MISSING
My night with Security passed uneventfully. Thankfully most nights do. No major break-ins, no high speed chases. Smith
asked me lo end this article by asking for
information about a student who is thought
lo be missing. Her name is Lisa Haber and
she is currently on leave. but thought lo
be living in Olympia. A short time ago
Haber's mother called Smith. She said that
she1 h:.d not heard from Lisa in a couple
of months, and there has been no activity
in her checking account recently. Smith
said he also knew Lisa. and was used to
seeing her regularly on campus. After her
mother called. h~ realized that he had not
seen her lately. Anyone having any information about the whereabout5 of Lisa
Haber please contact Campus Security.

One Very
Pissed Off,
Alienated,
Ornery,
And Vengeful
Letter-Writer
To the Editor:
After considerable observation
from a suitable distance, I have
become convinced that the exclusion of men from the Women's
Music Festival was a counterproductive move, negating much of
the positive thrust which has
been developed by and for women at TESC While I recognize
the importance of isolation (every
political party must have a caucu-; from time lo time) I feel that
those women who discouraged
men from involvement should
recognize the impotence of a
group which has alienated so
many for so little return
The exclusion of men from the
smaller workshops is acceptable
to me. The opportunity for interaction 1s great; the presence of
men in a small group may tend
to bt inh1b1ting, the number of
men and women likely to be upset by such a move is probably
insignificant The exclusion of
men from the concerts was unjustifiable and counterproductive.
The manner by which men wet"f
e)(cluded was immoral and illegal. The legal issues are unimportant. Laws are made for ~pie who cannot think for them-

selves. The moral question deserves our full attention.
A man who went to buy a
11d.et to hear Malvina Reynolds
was told that the concert was
sold out. His woman friend was
able to buy him a ticket a few
hours later. Reminds ,me a bl! of
Selma, Alabama, 1962. Federal
troops were on the street to insure that segregation was not
practiced. A black walked into a
previously segregated lunch counter to order a chicken sandwich.
The proprietor responded "We
all outa chicken sandwiches." Instead the customer asked for
soup. ··we all outa soup too ...
in fact we ain't got nuthin' you
want here, nigger."
Our sly hero, with ticket to
hear Malvina in hand, waited for
Friday. At the door he was physically blocked. not by the tickettaker. infonned of the law, but
by a self-appointed group of vigilantes. The result: one very
pissed off, alienated, ornery, and
- veng~ul ticket holder.
Most men I know didn't bother
to go to the lengths of our hero.
We accepted the irrational. vowed
our revenge, and headed lo the
bluegrass festival in Centralia.
Imagine the protest that would
have been mounted al Evergreen
if Ronald Reagan, in the last elKtion, had asked for a lecture hall,
and then posted notices "BLACKS
ANO JEWS ARE DISCOURAGED FROM ATTENDING." I
argue that Evergreen students
would have bulldozed the lecture
hall rather than let Ronny do
such a thing. Both s1tuat1ons are
identical in terms of morality. lf
women, 1n their struggle for
power. need 1solat1on, so do rednecks in theirs.
The biggest question, of course,
is whether the enlightenment
gained through isolation outweighs the anger and alienation
incurred. Many militant feminists
have dKl~red war upon men. I
remind you that the overwhelming lesson to civilization from
war is that nobody wins and everybody losn. The majority of
feminists have been engaging in
a nonviolent struggle against a
male-dominated wcidy. Nonviolent revolution is often effective.

At this writing, 1,400 nuclear
protest arrestees are bankrupting
the state of New Hampshire by
refusing to bail out of jail.
Two women friends of mine
decided not to attend the festival
because of the announced policy
of discrimination. One is a noted
vocalist from California;
the
other a founding member of the
Women's Commission at WWSC.
I submit that many more women
who would have been positive
assets to such a gathering stayed
home. feeling the same sort of
discomfort with a group of sexual segregationists that you and I
feel with the American Nazi
Party.
Many women have suggested
to me that women, p.articularly
younger women, nttd some isolation to "get their heads together." I definitely agree. Ten
years ago colleges provided segregated donnitories and sororities
for prKisely this reason. I look
back on the demise of these institutions as a positive step, and
do not feel they should be ffturrected. The "together
heads"
which came from such isolation
were just as fucked up as the "together heads" which came from
the fraternities, and which compri&e the male-dominated society
we are opposing. I feel that the
type of sexual segregation practiced at the Women's Music Festival is yet another progressive
step backwards, much like Saran
Wrap and enriched white bread.
Today we require a new form of
isolation. Again, I suggest that
the smaller workshops, where
real interaction takes place, may
be an appropriate place for such
discrimination.
Large concerts
and rallies .ire a place for all advocates of responsible
social
change to join hands and hearts,
to share ideas and passions. It
just don't pay to piss people off.
I ask that the CPJ solicit a response to this communication
from the event organizers, and
print them together. Those of us
interested in pursuing this topic
further can meet in the Coffeehouse, Tuesday, May 17. 8,30
p.m.
Jim Lazar
Observer

A
Daring Young
Man With
A Ticket To
The Women's
Music Festival
Note: Jim Ltzar, whose letter
is printed above, sent a copy of
it to the Women's Center. Here
is a reply.
To the Editor:
This letter is in response not
only to some of Hm Lazar's accusations but also to certain concerns that have been voiced by
many in the TESC community.
It is a limited response, on short
notice and energy after working
hard to pull the Women's Music
Festival off. I urge all those concerned to go further than the CPJ
for additional input - read some
literature available on the "whys"
(we've even collected some for
you at th~ Women's Center), research it on your own, talk to
the women who went.
The festival did happen and
was excitingly well-attended the
entire weekend. This in itself attests to the fact that for many
women not all concerns are adequately met. at TESC or m the
community at large. It never purported to answer the needs of all
people - nothing can. by itself
We put energy into making ii
what we and others wanted it to
be; others can just as well organize other events for other reasons.
Many women friends of mine
decided to attend the festival because of the announced policy of
women preferred. Granted there
were many women who did not
attend, but does this warrant ignoring those who did1 That many
militant feminists have declared
war on men has little to do with
the Women's Music Festival. Ask
anyone who was there. There
were no rallying war cries to turn

on our men friends or enemies. It
was not a Militant Feminist Festival.
It is not as if we are striving to
make all events be women-preferred. What I wish to point out
1~ that there are many avenues
towards the same general goal of
changing the patterns of human
life to be more creal!ve, equitable. non-oppressive. In striving
to overcome racism, does that
negate any value of the class
struggle1 By working on ageism,
the in1ustices and neglect of the
elderly and the young. does this
mean that we have no problems
with the environm{'nt, our attitude and trealmt>nl of 117 The
Women's Music Festival is an important part of the struggle.
As for the story of the "hero"
- all official ticket-sellers were
aware of the fact that we could
neither deny any person a ticket
nor prevent a ticket-holder to
enter. Pnor to Friday the sixth.
only the four student organizers
sold tickets, and we did not refuse a single ticket request. As
far as we can £letcrmine in talkmg with the women who sold
ticketc; Friday from noon on, no
one refused anyone a ticket. We
of course made sure that each
man who approached us was awMe of it being a women-preferred event and that he should
\...now where we stood.
So. assuming that a "daring"
(oh how courageous!)
young
man had a Fnday night ticket
"safely" in hand, if such a person
approached the door he would
have his hand stamped and ticket
lorn just like everyone else. Perhap5 one last comment would
be offered: "Are you aware that
this is a women-preferred event 7"
I know that there were at least
tw~ men at the Friday night concert, with stamped hands and
torn ticket stubs.
Again, this is but a short-notice letter. So much happened at
the festival. it takes time and yet
more energy to digest things and
organize them in a presentable
manner. We are working on it,
and ask any others who have input on the whole learning experience to share with us and others
that knowledge - from organizing, to executionr to participation, anything. Thank you.

There Seems
To Be
A Polarization
Of The
Sexes Around
This School
To the Editor:
While showing a fnend around
the college Saturday, I began realizing that maybe my concerns
for the issues behind the Women's Musical Festival are somewhat justified, I find myself perplexed more than anything '!lse,
and I guess the big question I always end up dealing with is, Am
I sexist for the way I feel or am I
the one being discriminated
against 7 I am fearful now even
sending this letter to the paper
knowing the type answers I might
receive, but when I really think
about 11 I feel my question 1s fair
and hope someone will rec.pond
latrly in return
Hopefully I am open to change
and flexible enough to realize that
-.elect group.., of people should
have a chancc- tn commune and

share their common experiences.
I appreciated Teasy Ryken·s small
nole in last week's CPJ which
e)(pressed this communion
so
aptly. I have talked with others
and have come to agree that these
types of gatherings are healthy
and have significant social importance in many societies. But
were some of the events that
happened this last weekend so
healthy? I cannot believe that
they were, for I saw them as a
real movement to exclude men
from concerts with a lot of soothing e)(cuses attached that said it
wa<; not discriminating so ii was
OK to go. How can the insistence
of a musician lo refuse to play
music if a certain type person is
m the audience, be otherwise.
This is what I protest against,
and I ask why is this discriminatory attitude supported?
I have had a taste now of what
it is like IQ be on the low end of
the stick and I have vacillated
more than a dozen times while
writing this letter, saying, yes
women ;:tre doing what they mu._t
for it is right and then I turn and
say. no this isn't healthy and we
should be critically aware that
de<'p down il is racist in nature.
And when my friend, who knows
little about our school but can
look on with a more objective
eye remarks, "There seems to
be a real polarization of sexes
around this school." I suddenly
realize it is true and I feel saddened that we only bring it upon
ourselves by passively and actively allowing it to happen.
Granted, the majority of women who attended the festival were
there in the spirit of the event
and it would be unfair to consider these women extremist by
any stretch of the word, but on
the same hand a regressive attitude is kept alive by someone's
time, money, and communitive
support, whether it is realized or
not. It would be easy to stop with
parts of the Women's Festival as
extreme examples of sexual racism but there are many more
shared by men and women alike
on this campus and elsewhere.
To wnte about them would take
the rest of this newspaper, so I
finish by asking who learns from
this regressive attitude, and what
do Ihey learn 7 Finally, overall, is
this a type of attitude worth relearning after so many for so long
have suffered to have it end. I
hope not!

A Stare Is Born
To the Editor:
What I hate 1s when I walk
past cafe windows and people
stop eating. like this one girl
who has an accent on the wrong
part of her name so I will think
she is an artiste. Boy could I kick
her hard especially. One time I
walked past a cafe where she was
eating some custard and she
stared at me and stopped. Custard half on her lips and everything. I think she's the one that
started the whole thing and I wish
all of you would stop. If I walk
by keep eating no matter what
you think of me.

Can two Princeton engineering students on a Northwest Jaunt
run with the wild Rainiers without getting sloshed?
No.
'"Austin Harley and I arrived in Seattle at 6:30 a.m .. Saturday. February 19. 1977.
We took our positions along Avenue of the Cascades. precisely where the Rainicrs
would appear at the height of their run-through. Some old-time tavern guzzlers
tried to push us back among the green-beers. but we held our ground. (Pie A) Then
the Rainicrs arrived in a rush, and it was too late to do anything but run with them.
Austin (at XJ had his camera along, but he quickly realized the inadvisability of
stopping to snap pictures. I grasped the traditional long-cup (markttl by Y) to catch
any Mountain Fresh run-off en route. (Pie BJThe groves of academe certainly
proved tame by comparison. Almost immediately, some other bottles moved in
behind us - their apparent intention to "cap'" a few of the spectators along one
wall. Austin (again at X) began to show signs of worry, but I was too busy
ascertaining that one cannot run wcU backwards. (Pie C) Then we were in the thick
of 11. While Austin peered down the neck of90 gallons on the hoof. I searched for a
way out. But as my Philosophy of Engineering 201 professor was wont lo say. "A
man's reach must exceed his grasp, or what's a machine for?""(Pie D) One second

after this. we both went under. Getting sloshed. however. reaUy wasn't as I had
anticipated. It seems that Rainicrs reaUy are fresh and friendly. I suppose if Austin
and I were to visit the Northwest a second time, we might choose to run again.
Since our return to Princeton. our fcUow students have persisted in ask.ing us to
explain the Running of the Rainiers - the fascination of man and liquid beast for
this annual spring oocurrence. In aU honesty. I have no theory beyond the apparent
natural affinity of the Rainicrs and their beer aficionados'.'

tol. supplier of jobs, provider of
government. It is hard to believe
this place, which possesses an
atl"{losphere so ingrown that it
resembles a hot spring health
spa or a rural college, as the
force (Weyerhauser and Boeing
aside) which creates laws controlling pecple's lives throughout
the state, even east of the mountains. It is hard to imagine that
the people who work there do
more than provide lunchtime
business for local cafes and evening traffic for bars and motels.
Even if you accept the premise
that a lot of power gets shuffled
around and exercised under the
stately dome, (whose majesty on
the Olympia skyline is only challenged by Mount Rainier, and
then only on clear days). it is
hard to imagine that real people,
people without permanently reserved parking spaces, people
who don't talk only in political
idioms, people who will admit to
having bodily functions, can and
do take part in the work that is
perfnrmed on the Hill.
Such pe<,ple do exist there. As
a matter of fact, the land of marble hallways, marble stairs, and

exactly what Evergreeners have
bttn doing l.ln the Hill during
this legislative session, I spent a
day there asking questions and
observing.
The legislative session is drawmg to a close. although no one
is sure when it will end. Members of tht> press have placed
their bets on dates ranging from
the end of the week till the end
of June. There are very few

meetings scheduled to occupy
the reporters because most legislation has already been dealt
with. The main topics of conversation at the cafeteria

were the House version of the
Washington budget and the recently declared strike by state
workers.
McFarlan, has been working
full-time at the legislature since
January, out of an office located
in United Press lnternational's
comer of the Insurance Building.
She works under the direction of
Liz Bjelland, an employee of KVI
and a former Evergreen student.
McFarlan's main job is to tape
statements made by legislators

they'~ referred to in the business, and send them by phone
to a number of radio stationsKVI, KZAM. KOMO, among

Hi there.
Have a seat.
Nervous? You should be. You've gone
to college for four years now, and just
when you think you've got things down,
so to speak. a letter in a plain white envelope arrives unexpectedly in the mail
one bright day. informing you that you
have accumulated enough credits to graduate from school and can now take your
place in the vast labor market we call America.
Come on now, buck up. Things aren't
that bad. It's not the end or the world.
lots of people graduate from college and
go on to lead normal. healthy lives. You
could be one of them.
Sure you're confused. Who isn't? Confusion is a natural state of being and there
is no reason to feel apologetic about it.
Look al Dixy Lee Ray.
Let's be frank. College has aimed at
your little head an incredible flood of con•
cepts and lore, informing you, misinform·
ing you, enlightening you, distracting you,
seducing you, confusing you further. It is
not your fault that you don't know what
to make of it all. Until this moment there
hJs qten no place to turn for a single,
clear, authoritative
voice that could
straighten it all out. fix things up, separate
the wheal from the chaff, show you the
ropes, tell you what you need to know
and why. No simple, basic. straightfor•
ward, unimpeachable guide to make it all
clear to you.
But now there is.
CAN WE BE HONEST FOR A SECOND?
Admit it. You have been in school for
about 17 straight years now, and all those
things teachers have written about you are
true: You don't apply yourself. You could
lry harder. You are not working up to
your potenti.il. You are goofing off. You
c.in't keep your hands to yourself. You
are an under•achiever.
Don't be ashamed. Many of our greatest
historical figures were under•achieversSigmund Freud, Joan of Arc. and Abra•
ham Lincoln, to name but a few. All of
them graduated from college knowing they
were deficient in many ways, but they
didn't let that stop them. They we1'> their
uwn best friends.
Your problems are much more simple.
All you have to do is rack your brain to
fiKure out exactly what you have learned
in the past four years, so you can meet
your parents' suspicious looks with an un·
flinching gaze when they ask you to justi•
fy yourself, then go out into the world to
claim your chosen career.
IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE
But wait a minute. It's not quite that
simple. Life is a perplexing. messy, and
often unpleasant business, and don't let
anyone tell you different. Statistics show
that 7 percent of this year's college grad•
uates will remain chronically unemploy•
able, 18 percent will work for the government. 9 percent will be maimed and/or
killed in a war on foreign soil, 4 percent
will disappear mysteriously in the night,
2 percent will wind up working in a gas
station. and 11 percent will become teach•
ers. The remaining 49 percent will assume
a mundane, anonymous lifestyle, working
at tedious, irksome jobs of one sort or
another, cheering up only at the prospKt
of a thrtt-day weekend or a new TV season. The most alarming statistic is that
99.7 percent of this year's graduating cl.us
will be annihilated in a global nuclear
war before 1989, but that does not concern us here.
Don't kid yourself. All those lectures
you attended, journals you filled, books

10b.

you read, papers you wrote, verbs you
conjugated, notes you took. seminars you
endured, they all add up to a log of gibberish, right? You originally went to college to pull yourself up from the profanum
vulgus (''the profane herd"), but now you
find you don't even know what you know.
so you must couch your ignorance in arbitrary phrase,; designed to impress your
peers: lgnotum ignotius ('The unknown
explained by the still more unknown").
That's all fine and dandy, but on the other
hand, memento mori ("Remember that
you must die").
Tah EJob Dylan, for example. "Merrily.
merrily. merrily, merrily/Life 1s but a
dream." he sings on his recent best·selling
album. and we all nod in communal agreement. But on closer analysis. aren't the
lyrics deceptively profound, revealing Dy·
Ian's mocking contempt for collegiate
scholars bent on dissecting his plaintive
pleas for material warmth? Doesn't this
nebulous double-talk aptly describe your
slate of mind as well as the world situa•
lion at large? Don't you wish you were
rich?
YOU WILL NEVER HA VE TO READ
ANOTHER BOOK AGAIN
The problem with most college grad·
uates is that they can't remember a thing
they learned in school. This often causes
many hours of needless stress, because
they assume everyone else does remember
what was taught to them, What they don't
realize is that now that college is over,
they will never h°'ve to read another book
again What they haven't caught onto is
that bringing up anything learned in college is considered to be in very bad taste
in all but the most refined circles. Admittedly this is hard to believe, but the intellectual rigor of the college campus has no
place in the world of agriculture. business,
or gcwernment.
At this point the new graduate must ask
him/herself, "Did I study the right things?
What will my parents think? Can I get my

the performance of some sort of much•

not help unless you possess a modicum of

ambiguous, indefinable terms to most of
us. so we must learn, in a world where
all is appearance, to give the impression
of being "skilled" or "talented."
And it's easier than you might think.
What follows may seem to be unrelated
maxims that any common schoolboy or
girl knows, but it is surprising how many
college--educated persons have not commited these bits of wisdom to memory.
History shows that those who do not
study history are condemned to forget
quotations, and th,11 those armed with
such bon mots ("little candies") can easily
dominate any cocktail party from Los
Angeles to Cape Cod.

SOUTHBOUND
FOR VICTORY

by Thomas Emrich
The Organic Farmhouse, and
the farm itself, have no academic
program for next fall. And that's
a great injustice. Not only to the
people who will want to work
on it, but also to those who were
involved in the past. A great deal
of effort was put into the house
so students in the future would
have a place unlike any other
structure on campus.
The farmhouse was designed
totally for student use. When
completed, it will have a meeting
room capable of holding SO or 60
people. Above this will be a·
study loft nestled among the
beams and trusses. A community
kitchen will ~ available to anyone who schedules it. It will contain both a wood and an electric
stove. as well as plenty of counter and storage space. Directly
behind the kitchen is the Clivus
dry composler.
This will be
hooked up to the upstairs bathroom to provide a totally nonpolluting septic system. The first
floor bathroOm will house the
water heater and the showering
facilities. Upstairs, above the
kitchen, will be one or two

rooms. probably for study or research. These rooms were designed as the caretaker's quarters,
but it was decided not to have
anyone live there, as was the
original plan several years ago.
In the spring of 1974, several
students in the "Matter of Survival" group contract felt there
was a need for another building
on the fann, as well as an alternative to the concrete buildings
on campus. So, they approached

the staff architect with the idea
of contracting with him and designing the whole house. After
several
quarters
and some
changes in personnel, the plans
were drawn up. With the preliminary drawings, a presentation,.
was made to the Board of Trustees, who approved the project.
The Services and Activities Board
and the Evergreen community
were approached
for building
funds. Twenty thousand dollars
was taken out of the student activities budget and set asjde for
the house. The final approval
was needed from the governor's
budget office since the house was
to be paid for by state funds.
This was granted in mid-summer.
1975.
Even before the final state approval, work was started on the
house. Logs were taken from th~
present garden site and the Communications Building site to a
sawmill in Lacey. and, using student labor. cut into rough boards
and beams. After state approval.
the land was surveyed and the
foundation footings were built.
Work was slow but steady, as
the construction was only or,efourth of the students' contracts.
They also studied architectural
history,
drawing,
engineering,
and participated in book seminars
and field trips. By fall of 1975,
the first noor was built. During
winter and spring, the second
floor and its roof were put up.
and in the summer, the huge
trusses in the meeting room were
fabricated and put in place.
Then, last December.
several students got together a
program to continue work on the
house. After approaching many
teachers, the deans, and the provost with the program, the original staff architect was rehired to
be the academic advisor. Student
work resumed in winter, including shaking the roof, and framing the kitchen and s«ond story.
At present, part of the house is
ready to be wired and have windows and doors put in place. But
this may not happen, for once
again, there is no program for
the next quarter.
Certainly, it is not a lack of
interest that has caused this. It is
more a lack of familiarity with
the farmhouse project. It is for
this reason that several people
from the farmhouse group will
be staffing a table in CAB this
week. They will be there to answer any questions, .md to get
feedback regarding student interest. At present, a curriculumplanning group is meeting in order to draft a proposal for this
summer and next fall. This is
where student interest fits in the
most. Unless there is an interest
and a willingness
to commit
yourself to the fannhouse and all
it will provide, it cannot happen.
So, please, stop by and talk to
the people at the table, or better
ye/, stop by the house itself. The
natu~ trail that starts from the
sidewalk between the parking lot
and the Lab buildings leads directly to the house. Rmiember,
the farmhouse belongs to the stude-nts, and it's your involvement
that supports it.

to the need to open up to the

lyrics are amazing, but her voice
is just the nicest thing. And she is
such a great person, she constantly makes you laugh, she's so

Teresa Trull and Mary Wat•
kins were the high point of the
concerts for many women. Mary
played piano on Teresa's album,
just recen;.!xJ>ut out by Olivia.
She is an exce'lltional jazz pianist,
though sometimes I felt like she
would rather have been playing
an electric piano, as she does on
much of the album. Saturday was
her "singing debut," as she said,
and her voice was great, surpassed only by her original songs.
She played one song that she had
originally written for a symphony. She started out classically
and then got nice and jazzy. I
loved Mary, and can't wail for
her album from Olivia.
Teresa's strength was inspirational. Teresa sin&s about the

drum or shaker. II was a joy to
see so many women together able
to let loose and celebrate. Then
there was an open mike for local
and visiting women musicians. A
lot of impressive talent was thE-rt>
one of the most notable bein~ .i
woman named Niobe Erebnr
who sang and played the twelvestring guitar excellently. The three
songs she had time to play were
about her struggles as a ThirdWorld lesbian and her personal
spirituality. It was too bad there
was not more time for open mike
because a lot of good talents were
around last weekend. I went to
another workshop, "Third-World
Women and Women's Music,"
given by Naomi Littlebear. We
didn't seem to be able to stay on
the subject, unfortunately. and
it ended up seeming pretty emotional for a workshop, without a
whole lot of good coming out
of it.
MEN CARRYING ARMLOADS
OF PAMPERS
I went to the Olivia Records
Collective workshop given by
Teresa Trull and Mary Watkins
on Sunday. It went very well.
Teresa knows a lot and speaks
well. She kept the workshop
moving until we had to force
ourselves to break up and go on
to the next concert. They talked
about the politics and theories of
a feminist business, personal history of Olivia, and events inside
it, how they distribute records,
how they decide about recording,
and how it actually gets done.
Walking around campus dur•
ing the day it was nice to see so
many new faces. There were
women from Seattle, Portland.
Salem, California, Idaho, Eastern

Washington. Canada, and many
Olympia Community women. I
saw the men volunteering for
child care carrying around armloads of Pampers, and trucks
with smiling kids trailing after
them. As a matter of fact, the
volunteers were smiling, loo.
Maggie Savage and Jude Fogelquist started out Saturday night's
performance. Maggie writes all
her songs and sings along with
her guitar. while Jude plays back•
up guitar and fills out the sound
nicely, sometimes pausing to let
Maggie solo or playing a tambourine. Several women ex•
pressed less than satisfaction with
Maggie and Jude. The main com•
plaint was that she wasn't too
clear or out-front with her stand
on things. Her songs seem to be
more about day•to-day things,
and were hard to identify with

The Pacific Northwest Women's Music Festival was held last
weekend at Evergreen. After a
year of planning and work mainly
by five individuals, it was a success. To the eyes of the concert~·oer. it seemed as though the festival began with Malvina Reynolds, but I watched the many
women who worked on lights
and sound right before the con•
cert. They had a hard time with
the sound system, a hectic and
potentially tension.filled situa•
lion. but the women working on
it were cool-headed and patient,
many of them having only just
learned the workings of the system a week earlier. But soon the
door opened, and a crowd of a•
bout 400 women seated themselves and the word was all CO.
LOVELY ENOUGH TO BITE
Malvina came out first. all her
captivating self, and started with
a song that assured me that she
was the same Malvina, and like
the words of the song, she was
"lovely enough to bite, and lovely
to see." Every song was a morale
booster, as well as issue•oriented.
She ran the gamut from "if you
think you've hit bottom, oh no,
there's a bottom below," to a
statement about unwanted and
unneeded pregnancy: "I ct>rtainly
have nothing against ~abies in
general, but I think that women
have the right to have control
over their own bodies." Malvina
is a radical from way back, and
a believer in people working to
change the system. She summed
it up with a hopeful, "They've
got the world in their pocket,
but the pocket's got a hole."

A SONG TO AMERIKA
Naomi Littlebear and the Ursa
Minor Choir were spectacularly
energetic, and didn't skirt issues
at all. They sing about Vietnam,
oppression of the poor, and lhe
struggles of working for change.
Naomi sang an excellent song a•
bout anger, the anger that women have been denied the right to
express. One member of the choir
sang a strong, moving song about
the forced sterilization of women, mainly poor, Third.World
women. The 15 women in the
choir, along with even more instrumen~ sang a song to Amerika: "How can you find peace
when you're tearing our minds,
our lives, our hearts apart 7" Putting into words and music and
movement feelings of caring and
struggle and strength. Naomi is
an exciting songwriter and com•
poser_ Her songs speak to the
struggles of being alive as a per·
son that this society doesn't recognize as fully alive and capable
and worthy. They are emotional
and powerful, and she and the
choir bring them alive even more.
CELEBRATION OF THE SUN
Saturday started out the workshops. Many workshops were
offered, speaking to a wide variety of interests, from traditional
women's music to classical women composers to P.A. systems
and more. I went to two and the
tail end of a third. In the morning a drumming workshop was
held on the fourth floor balcony
of the library that so moved the
women dancing and drumming
that shirts were discarded in celebration of the sun and being together. Everyone either clapped
or danced or sang or played a

OBSESSED WITH ROMANCE
Ginny Bales started out Sunday's concert. She has a clear,
high smooth soprano, sounding
experienced next to her piano.
She seemed comfortable with her
music, as if she sits and sings at
the piano all day. She admitted
that she is "obsessed with romance," and most of her songs
reflected that. She has a very
healthy view of love and commitments, concerned with not
leaning on another. or losing an
evenness in the relationship that
is essential. She seemed so happy
and eager to teach and learn. I
haven't heard too much about
Ginny Bales, and was pleasantly
surprised.
