Governor Announces
Boldt Task Force
by Nancy Ann Parkes
During a pttSS confermce held
on Tuesday, May 9, Governor
Dixy Lee Ray announced the
formation of a state agency task

fora to study unraolved environmental issues stemming from
the controversial Boldt decision.
The committee will meet for the

first time on Thursday, May 11.
The initial ruling in the Indian
rights fishing case came on
February 12, 1974, when Federal
District Judge George H. Boldt
concluded
that Washington
State's fishing regulations were
unlawful when applied to 14
Western
Washington
tribes
whose fishing rights were guar- •
anteed by treaties with the
federal goveinment.

To a large degree, th• regulation permitted Indians to regulate their own fishing. The

controversial "50-50" decision
guaranteed treaty tribes the right
10 half of the steelhead and
salmon run returning to off-res-ervation waters.
In 1970, the federal government initiat~ its suit against the

stat• of Washington on behalf of
the 14 tribes. Boldt cited a 1968
Supreme Court

decision

affir•

ming special fishing rights guaranteed

by

treaty

to

certain

Indian tribes as precedent to his
1974 ruling.
However, Boldt added in his
decision that .. ch of the tribes
would have to establish rigorous
fishing regulations and submit
catch reports to state fisheri..
and game officers.

The state

would only have the right to
regulate treaty guMantees in the

'The way the Pacific Northwest Regional funds are handled
under federal law is that a
certain percentage of the money
is reserved for discretionary
programs within each state," said
the governor. "and this particu-

president and vice presidents the authority to, in the event of a
strike, suspend any and all rules and policies of the college and
"fire, discipline, demote, hire, transfer, reassign, and/or otherwise
effect the emplovment of persons at The Everlitfeen State College."
The DTF's proposed policy, in contrast, provides that members
of a striking constituency "will not be subject to dismissal for
participating", and that "all regular governance procedures, rules,
and policies of the College shall remain in effect" during a strike.
Assistant Attorney General Richard Montecucco drafted
Resolution 77-3 in response to a 1977 General Administration
Department strike memo allowing state agencies to hire outside
labor in order to maintain essential services. The Board of
Trustees adopted
the resolution
on June 22, 1977, and
subsequently appointed a Strike Policy Advisory Group composed
of nine administrators and one faculty member to provide it with
information on which to base strike policy decisions.
The Strike Policy Advisory Group prepared a 2S•page report
containing background information on collective bargaining and
strikes at institutions of higher education, reviews of applicable
laws and union status at Evergreen, and an analysis of the term
"essential services." In addition, the report details possible
approaches the Board of Trustees could take toward strike policy.
These include a "soft" approach, embodied in Evergreen's policy
prior to the adoption of Resolution 77&3 and defining ··essential
services" as the protection of state property, and a ..hard"
approach, typified by 77.3 and including normal academic
operation in the ."essential services" category.
President Dan Evans charged the Collective Bargaining and
Strike Policy Review DTF on January 27 to conduct a review of
the Strike Policy Advisory Group document. In his initial memo
to the DTF members, Evans stated he was convening the group to
"insure that sufficient review by all segments of the campus
community is carried out."
Members of the DTF. however, were strongly opposed to
Evergreen's current strike policy and decided to exceed their
charge by going on record against Resolution 77•3. They sent a
memo to Evans on February 22 recommending that 77-3 be
revoked and the old policy reinstated pending submission of the
final DTF report. According to Dave Gallagher, a student member
o( the DTF, the group recently questioned Assistant to the
President Les Eldridge regarding the Board of Trustees' reaction to
this memo. Eldridge answered that the trustees probably wouldn"t
do anything about it because they consider Evergreen's previous
strike policy inadequate.
DTF members, in their review of the Strike Policy Advisory
Group report, concluded that "essential services" is a meaningless
concept with regard to formulation of a strike policy because
according to Gallagher it "avoids the real issue which is the
ultimate right to strike." They discussed the question of whether
to go on record affirming the right to strike, and on March 1
adopted a proposal affirming the nttd for negotiation in good
faith by all parties, and providing that a constituency may call a
~trike or work stoppage by a majority vote, if such negotiations
break down, without being subject to dismissal.

Judge Boldt will continue his

Soon after Boldt declined to

preside over Phase U, McGovern

Bus Business
To the Editor:
Students, faculty and staff face
the prospect of a cutback in bus
service to the college unless the
administrators around here get
on the ball. Evergreen provid~
only $6,205.02 of its own money
to the mamtenance or tne bus
sys rem in 1977. They also
contributed the farebox revenue,
$5,112.00, whichlntercity Transit
rnms over to them. LT. had to
provide financial aid rn the bus
service to the tune of $15,234.45,
or $2.10 per mile. Next year,
T. E.S.C. proposes to reduce its
contribution to $4,800, increasing
I.T.·s subsidy 10 $16,638.73.
The issue is this: Givm the
high cost to lmercity Transit of
providing service to Evergtten,
the Transit Commission believes
that other areas of Thurston
County which want bus service
,md don't have it ought to take
priority over Evergrttn. These
areas would certainly generate
more revenue for the maimt-'1ance of the bus system than
Evergrttn contributes. Two pos::oibilitiesexist-either a reduction
10 or elimination of service for
the college. Service might be cut
to three or four trips per day, or
something similarly inadequate.
And then Evergreen would have
w supplement this service with
college vans. First of all, those
vans aren't big enough for the
number of daytime riders. Fur•
,her, if, as Intercity Transit
Manager Jim Slakey points out,
Evergreen were unwilling to
supplement
this meager bus
service with its own, Intercity
Transit would lose credibility as
a truly viable means of transponation;
he believes th.J.t it
would be in the better interests
of thl' Transit Commission to
scrap service to T.E.S.C. under
1hese conditions and implement
11 adequately t>lsewhere.
The college hu .- .-e-sponsibil•

A Plea For
Cooperation
To the Editor,
To member,, of the Evergreen
communityOn Saturday, one of the days
of the Solar Exhibition, I was
sitting quietly with two friends
on the sundedt northwest of the
Seminar Building. While ..., were
sitting there, two deer walked
out of the woods befott us and
began to graze by the walkway.
W• watched them for nearly
twenty minutes u they slowly
toured the field for edibles and
continued from our sight down
the road.
For several moments, as 1
continued to face the woods, I
wa1 struck by the wonderful
combination of what was befott
me and what was behind. I
became anxious as I began to
reflect on how much the fututt
plans of our community will
continue to limit the frequency
of such an event.
Our community will never

Stop a moment and uy to
think of some bi, of Evffgreffl
armitectutt tha, I■ curved.
The Library Building. The
Seminar Building. The CAB, the
Rec. and Communications Building■. Even the L«:ure Hall is, on
second notice, not circular, but a
multigon made up of triangular
rooms. The sharp, straight lines
parallel us, intenect around us,

Forum
lead us to their ends.
It is odd that the curved space
we experience most often is
found in ashuays, wastebaskets
and toilets.
What has happened? ls there a
conspiracy against random pat•
terns or curved lines 7 Someone
tell me where I can find curves,
please! The eyes, anrmpting to
evade this geometry lesson, find
no relief staring off into space at
odd angJes. They are met by the
squares on the ceiling above and
the linoleum squares on the Aoor
below. Being boxed in by
squares. Escape outside onto...
oh no, no, nol Red Square.
Hundreds
and hundreds
of
rectangles! An ocean of them, all
safely contained within a grid of
concrete bars for those who
might drown. Even ,he grass is
carefully sectioned off. The
seemingly "free" gardens are
deceptively liberal: in them hide
riot suppression cubes. As for
the stately trees7 All enlisted into
columns with military precision
like the formations of lifeless
lamp poles next to them. The
straight lines are lying every•
whtte. It is no wonder we have

a hard time attempting
to
perceive a world of ideas free
from precise bounds, where
learning ought not to be di.sci•
plined imo boxes for administra•
tors and for those who cannot
swim. How can we learn of such
an unbounded world when our
very learning environment con•
cretely tells us otherwise7
Now this may seem like
feigned neurosis, but see here:
when objrcts are organized in
lines, all those lines, from the
viewer's standpoint,
emanate
from a point on the horizon.
Never mind .-bout architect's
blueprints because we don't look
at things from a thousand feet
up. The truth is, whichever way
you look, all those straight lines
are all reaching out from One
point which continually chants.
'The source is out here, the
source is out here, the source .... "
No wonder people think the
answers are "out there." Every•
thing points to that.
While persistently persuading
us to turn away from the
problems inside, our egos are
cajoled. You see. All of this is
very flattering
to us. The
emanating rays of -spotlights
shine at us from all organized
directions. We are told we are
the center figure on the stage.
But can't you see. Those ar,
not revelatory rays from the
horizon dawning on us, nor are
they from beacons or spodights.
They are from a projection
booth, imposing images from all
sides while physically fencing
lines al'ound us. h's a gruesome
scene for brainwashing. h's no
wonder we can't see. We've been
~linded ~y th~ lovely, irradiattng, straight Imes.

took pl.act on campus. Tht
exposition amountlNi to something of an information blitz on

with over 40 events

came from throughout the P~t

attend the thrtt-d.ay event.
··A lot of poopl• ca= looking
for answers," Youtz said. "I
heard a lot of good sensible
_questions being asked during
somt of the topical sessions.
People wanted to know how to
gt-t some alternatives bui.Jt into
their lives." Subjects of work•
shops held during the confettnu
ranged from alcohol fuels to
e-nergy education in the public
schools. The workshops were
.irrangrd by various experts from
throughout the Northwest. Youtz
and memMrs of th, program he
1s currently teaching, Alternative
Energy Systems, planned and
organiud th, conference.
··Members of th, program
really came through in organizing this thing," according to
Youtz. ·w,·re all very appredat1ve for the financial and moral
support we received from a lot
of different groups.··
Two of th, wttkend's most
exciting events were keynote
addresses delivered by alternative energy advocates Amory
Lovins and Sim Van der Ryn.
Lovins, at the age of 30, has
recently become a minor celtbrity. He is a writer and lobbyist
tor economic and energy policy.
Van der Ryn is • one of the
country's leading solar architects,
and was appointed California
State Architect by Governor
Jerry Brown in 1975. As a boy,
Lovins trained himself in his
father's laboratory as an experimental physicist; at a~ 16 he
was acting as a consultant for
~veral companies. He went to
Harvard al 17, but left to pursue
a Ph.D. in physics at Oxford.
After several years there he
resigned his program out of
r~tlessness. In 1971, h, went to
London as the British representative of the Friends of the Urth.
Since then he has become
increasingly involved in economic-environmental policy. He hu
held private discussion, .ibout
energy with President Carter, the
rrime Minister of Britain, .ind
utility executives across the
country. and has also been
nominated for a Nobel Prize.
Lovins' address Sunda.y sounded well rohe•rsed. and brimmed
with facts and figures. Most of
the audience found his talk
hopeful and extremely convincing. Lovins outlined two paths
society might take in de:aling
with its energy nttds over the
next SO years. One he called the
Hard Path, the other the Soft
Path.
The Hard Path mean, essentially continuing a.long the s.ame
energy-source
lines
we're
following now, relying on nuclear and fossil fuels. The social
and economic costs of following such a path,
s.aid
Lovins. will become too great to
sustain. H" argued that as fotsil
fuels become more and more
sea rce, the c.apital needed to
rxtract them from the earth
be-comes immense. Drawing from
a vast array of facts and figurn,
Lovins maintziM'd th.at capital

placrs such as the arctic and the

He llftmed convinood that the
ptttent political ayatem Is capable of facili~tlng an fflffllY
transition. H• did acknowledge
that tom• ,pedal interest groups

rals!Mlt to chang,e
but Itta his proposals "go with
our current grain, rather than
acroa it."
.
LoviN 1ummed up his argu•
ments saying, "Th• Soft Path is

energy. "The world nuclear
enterprise is rapidly turning into
a pumpkin," ho said, ttfttring
the audience to a graph. '1t
appears it won't amount to .i hill
of beans before the oil runs out.
By the year 2,000, it's down in
the firowood league in terms of
the potential
energy it can
provide."
Lovins doesn't 11tt tho possibility of simply running out of oil
as being a roal difficulty. s.fott
that happe:ns, he contends,
remaining oil will become so
expensive to extract th.at countries simply wouldn't be able: to
foot the biJI. This situation is
alttady beginning to dev•lop. '1t
would be impossible for any
country outside the Persian Gulf
to use these technologies. These
things a~ so expensive, they're
starting to look like future:
technologies whose time has
already passed."
Side effects of tho Hue! Path,
Lovins argued, would include the
nttd for a complex bureaucracy
and a strong central authority to
~late
the use: of energy. Most
othe:r se:ctors of the economy
would be dangorouoly starwd ot
capital, and extremely high rates
of innation and unemployment
would develop. Lovings summed
up his rather bleak view of the
Hard Energy Path by saying, '1f
this happons, thett would be no
object in pursuing what"er it ii
you're doing risht now-you
might as well dig a hole In tho
ground and pull it in after
yourself."
Th• second SCfflario Lovins
discussed was tho heart of his
m.... go. It's what h• calls 'Th•
Soft Paft," from th• title of his
book So# Energy Paths, ToW11rd
a Dur"ble Peace. He envisions a
transition away from f<>11ilfue:ls
employing small-seal• applications of solar, wind, and biomass devices. These technologies
can be mass produced, making
them che.ape:r and ett.ating more
jobs than do the power plants oE
today. '1t's not an anti-technology program," he said. In fact
there's some very challengins
technology involved in making
things sophisticated
in their
simplicity, rather than in their
complexity. My father u..d to
say that any fool can make
something complex, but it talc.es
a ~nius to make it simple-I
think wo'v• lost sight of that
sinc-e around the war." Lovins
believes
that most of the
technology for such a program
already exi1tJ, but estimates it
will take about 50 yean to ~ it
in place: "Not becaue it isn't
there, but because the pl'ftfflt
energy system is so big and
sluggish."

Amory Lovins
"Th ore's still a low p•opl•
around who think this is all a
big conspiracy
by the: oil
companies,
and that maybe
they'll give us cheap oil again if
we just ask them, or maybo if
we nationalize them," Lovins
told the crown. "The:re's not
going to be a day whon you
wake up and say 'ah-ha, we've
just blown it forever,' but it i1
going to ~ hardt,r and hardt,r
to turn things around."
In discussing thoso two paths,
Lovins said, "You have: to
choose what kinds of probloms
you want. There ii no such thing
as a frtt lunch-although some
lunches att cheapor than othon."
Tho two paths offer difttrmt ..is

Lovins made it clur that a
sane onergy policy Is a necesaity
that traNCfflds idoological boundaries. 'We:'ve never trie:d to
make an energy policy by
consensus, but its time to start,
tho lim• loft to do it is ohort,"
Van der Ryn oaid during his
addross S..turday that thon Is no
single answer to the energy

Thus, the anti-recovery policy
advanced by Rumsfield would
require an increase by billions of
dollars in de"fense spending,

of hitting it from over 4,000

Embarking on a peace conver. sion program
sensitive
and
responsive to those who would
be _critically affected seems to ~
a humane alternative to spending
the 40 billion dollars required for
the dubious "deterrent" value
and threatening first-strike capability of the Trident system.

Szilard's policy is known as a
finite or minimal policy of
deterrence and has never been
seriously considered by an administration. A change in U.S.
deterrent policies causes a corresponding change in the amount of
money required to match such a
policy.

The production
of nuclear
weapons is a capital-intensive
industry. According to ~veral
different studies by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics the number of
jobs generated by one billion
dollars of military spending
hovers around 71,000. That
same billion dollars allocated to
other areas could create 187,000
jobs in education and 139,000
jobs in health fields.

but can be realized in a myriad
number of different policy options. As early as 1964 Leo
Szilard, a physicist who contributed to the development of
the atomic bomb, advocated a
"meeting of the minds I to l
reduce their !Soviet Union and
U.S. l strategic striking forces,
step by step to a level just
sufficient to inflict 'unacceptable'
damage in a counterblow." This,
Szilard argues, would necessitate
a reduction in nuclear forces to
50-to-100 nuclear
weapons.
Clearly, the present stockpile of
30 thousand nuclear weapons is
far above the n~essary "deter•
rent force".

In 1973 th• Unit•d Stain
Senat•. by a vol• of 49-47,
approved funding for tho construct ion of a pow·erful new
weapons system-the
Trident

Howeve:r, the large number of
varying deterrent policies show
that the:re is confusion as to how
much force: is necnsa.ry to deter
a nuclear war. In the past the:
Department
of Defense: has
advocated maintaining the level
of force necessary to inflict
"unacceptable damage" on an
opponent, which Secretary of
Defense Robert McNamara defined in 1969 as "one-fifth of the
Soviet Union's population and
one-half of her •industrial capacity."
However, in the 1978 Defense
Department report there seems
to be a dangerous shift in the
focus of U.S. nuclear forces.
Defense
Secretary
Donald
Rumsfield doscribos this shift:
"An important objective of the

,ponding will of couno ttSult In
less spending in other economic
and public sectors.

Second, this policy, if pursue:d, will be seen as an
aggressive move which may
result in a new arms race of
unprecedented proportions.

A Congressional Budget roport
shows that a policy of finite
deterrence: would result in a
reduction of $28.6 billion over
the next five yean. This money
could be: diverted to other areas
of society such as education,
health clinks, etc., which are
cripled for lack of funding.
Two measures before Congress
would help with convtt1ion from
a war-time to a peace-time
economy:
the
McGovern•
Mathias Peace Conversio11 bill
and tho Transfer A=clment.
The Peace: Conve:rsion Bill
would not reallocate any resources. lnste:ad, it would set up
peace conversion plans which
would tttrain workon displaced
from their jobs in the event of a
reduction in military/industrial
contracts.

John Maynard Keyne~. an
economist whose theories explained the Depression of the
1930s, stressed the necessity of
government spending to create
employment ahd thus stimulate
the economy. The "stimulation"
to the U.S. economy in the '301
was in the form of World War 11
and military. production. MUita ry expenditures
now reach
$160 million per day, and some
people claim should not be cut
precisely because of th.at stimulation. Politically,
the cut or
transfer of military monies to
meet human needs has not
occurred. ln rflerring to uselesa
government stimulation such as
nuclear production, Keynes said,
"it would indeed be more
sensible to build houses and the
like, but if there are political and
practical difficulties in the way
of this, the above would be
better than nothing."
Perhaps it is politically impossible to bring about this
change. Many people believe it is
not. A demonstration "to open
up the ba .. for the pooplo" on
May 21-22 is designed to
stimulate political action to
reroute government spending to
socially useful and humanly
satisfying goals.
(For those interested in participating in the May 21-22
demonstration
and acquiring
more information, there will be a
general meeting of Trident resistance forces on Tuesday. May
16, in CAB 108).

The Transfer Amendment advocates transferring funds from
wasteful military spending to
mttt human nttds in urban and
rural development, health, and
other social programs.

Thirdly, whethor outwardly
expressed or not, the anti•recovery policy requires such an
enormous amount of nuclear
force that it is a first-strike
system designed to ensure U.S.
global superiority aher a nucl,ar
war.
This third critique has in fact
been leveled against the present
"deterrence"
policy.
Bob
AldridJe, an ex-missile designer
at Lockheed, argues in the May,
1978 issue of The Progressive
that the Pentagon's s«ret strategy is just that-prttmptory
first
strike. He points to Trident as an
embodiment of that first strike
intent.
Aldridge maintains
that a
force the -size and accuracy of
Trident is not necessary for
deterrent
purposes alone. A
small number of low accuracy
missiles is enough to dete:r.

Reaux Arb Ball with its milell1n~ lines at the kegs and the
~eneral 200 of people involved.
My pilot and I gel into the
Green Machine", a panel wagon

tllV•rn
where we rob the local
Stalt' Liquor Store, remaining of
course. polite, so as not to give
our already-badly-publicized colle~e any more bad publicity. The
woman clerk is most accommodating and brings me the liquor l

requests lor 1.D. or money. The
manager shows enthusiastic interesl 1n my sawed off shotgun
as he has never seen one up close
bet ore.
The liquor situation having
been taken care of, my pilot and
I decide we must have some sort
of a nutritional foundation for
the night's festivities. My pilot
suggests McDonald's. I d.isagrtt.
).1cOonald's food has a nasty
tendency to expand at the wrong
moments. We finally decide on
Kentucky
Fried Chicken-a
three-piece dinner with a side of
two dozen rolls, which are
similar to sponges whm it comes
to soaking up a half-gallon of

lose G. Gold and a pint of
Gordon's Gin.

Bloated and thirsty we head
towards campus and some pregame warm-ups for the Ball. Gin
and Tonics flow freely, the
Gordon's is quickly consumed
and we make our way to the
Beaux Arts Ball; the Gold safely
in ffiy pack with lemons and
limes.
•
We are quite drunk now and
make a point ot stepping on
slugs and making obscene remarks to people we pass. We
notice many people in costumes
heading toward the library. My
pilot and l were to go as harp
seal and hunter but the skin
didn't make it down from
Canada in time. We are half an
hour late now and expect an
ungodly long line, but there are
just a few people going in. Not a
good sign.
l felt confident that my ticket
wou Id be free as I am doing an
article for the CPJ. Th, guy at
the desk tells me I don't look like
a Greener much less a CPJ
person. See what happens if you
don't conform to the Evugreen
dress code and don't wear
baggies 7 After purchasing our
tickets we wait in a line where
two SS types det,rmine whether
or not we are 21 and if so we
must be stamped accordingly. I
pass through th• tine babbling
that I don't drink and I fall into
th, ballroom at the fourth floor
of the library.
I listen and notice the silfflce.
It's nin• o'clock and the band
hasn't •ven begun to play. My
pilot suggets we go out on the
patio and drink ourselves into
oblivion and ming]• with peopl,.
I look around as we wallc.out to
the patio. The decorations are

decide to go io the kitchen an,a

More people are arrivinst now
and I see familiar faces. I am
drooling uncontrollably but people just think it is p.1rt of my
costume. I recognize the keynote
speaker from the "Sun Day"
celebration, Sim Van der Ryn,
the California State Architect. I
know his daughter and decide to
ask him if she inherited her
slouch from him. "Yes she did,"
he says quite fondly.
I ask him about Jerry Brown

anything to the rumor about
Jerry and Linda sleeping together, though l did not phrase it
so tactfully as I have here.
"I know if he were me that I

Montessori
by Laurie Frankel
A kindergarten employing the
Montessori teaching method is
scheduled to open in Olympia
next September. The new kindergarten is planned to supplement a presently
operating
Montessori preschool.
The Montessori
teaching
method was developed by Maria
Montessori, an early twentieth
century educator who believed
chldren should be treated as
"'self-activated
learners"
and
placed in "prepared environments of programmed materials
which encourage autoeducation."
Teachers
in the Montessori
method try to place children in
active, rather than passive learning situations.
Montessori believed that as
children develop they
pass
through a series of sensitive
periods during which they an,
most capable of acquiring particular skills. Her teaching method
holds that it is best to begin
schooling a child as early as as•
three, in order to take advantof these sonsitiv• periods. Children taught in the Montessori
method fr,qu,ntly acquitt ruding and writing skills by the lim•
they'r, five yean old.
Mont....,ri classrooma are designed to stimulate learning by
presenting children with controlled environments consisting
of such tools u luming games
and functional, chllckb:ed fumltutt. Children aro allowed time
to work individually, and ar,
expected to fo\low ru1.. intended
to_facilitate cooperation between
them. The environment ls flexibl• enough to aUow children
l,eway in deciding what they
want to work on and when.

Mont,ssori's theory of luming
divides education into thrtt skill
groups: motor, sensory, and
inteUectual. Motor ddlJs such as
good postutt and diction aro
doveloped through exercioe. Sensory education f<>CUMton such
topia as the distinction between
quality and quantity, and inteUectual education on reading and
writing. Sandpaper letten and
moveabl• alphabets an, med to
teach th• latter skills.
Sharon Schnall, dittctor of the
Pacific Mont,ssori Preschool, is

starting the new kindergarten
because she wants "to give
parents who aro conamed with
their children's education and
getting them off to a good start
the choice of a Montessori
kindergarten." Schnall adds, '1
hav• heard negative things about
the public school program, for
exampl• that the children aro
bor,cl. I want to give parents a
choice."
Some of Schnall's current
prechool children will be old
enough for kindergarten
next

_year, but they will have alr,ady
reached the kindergarten level
academically at the pr,school.
They wouldn't fit w,11 into
public school kinderprttn
according to Schnall, because,
''Everyon• has to be in the same
group at the sam• time doing th•
same thing" in those programs.
Schnall does feel, hOW1'vtt, that
most of her students will mak•
the transition from the Montessori kindergarten into the first
grade "pmty w•ll", since "the
public schools have different

programs, and they can test the
children and place them in the
group they're prepared to be in.
So if they're reading when they
enter the first grade they can be
placed in an accelerated group."
Toys, except for some specifically designed for the Montessori
program, are used only in the
beginning of the year at Schnall's
preschool;
after that they'n:'
removed from the classroom.
and children play only with
Montessori learning materials for
the rest of the year.
These learning materials are
designed to educate children in
four different skill areas: practical life, sensory, reading, and
mathematics. Children learn such
practical life skills as how to deal
with money and sew. The Pink
Tower, a set of pink blocks
teaches them size concepts, and
the Broad Stair, a set of different
sized brown blocks helps them
grasp the idea of width. Montessori teachers employ sandpapercovered letters to teach children
how to read, and such devices as
number rods (sticks decorated
with repeating
colors),
and
numbered cards to acquaint
them with mathematics.
Schnall believes that most
non-Montessori preschools ··an
play-schools with a littl• bit of
learning on the side, but mostly
an opportunity for children to
inte-ract with other children." She
maintains that, '1f you approach
children in th• right manner they
really want to learn:·
The new kindergarten
will
mttt five afternoons a week, and
tuition will be $80 a month for
each student. Sharon Schnall can
be contacted at 357-6003 for
more information on the school.

Marathon A Success

Strike Poli~y Continued
After further discussion DTF
members decided their proposal
was insufficient when applied to
Evergrttn's classified staff, due
to the great variety of working
conditions experienced by that
constituency. They appointed a
four-member sub:group to study
the problem and develop an
amendment to the proposal. The
sub-group produced and submitted a plan breaking down the
classified staff into several constituencies according to budget
area designations;
this plan,
however, was rejected because
the proposed units were too
small, potentially
allowing a
small minority ot statt employees
to disrupt college business by
calling a strike.
Instead the DTF passed a
proposal amending the affirmative vote requirement for authorization
of classified staff
strikes to one-third. According
to Gallagher, this amendment
"would avoid the possibility of
the tyranny of a tiny minority.
At the same time, it would make
possible the expression of a
legitimate grievance by a significant segment of workers subject
to common conditions which are
not necessarily shared by the
whole constituency labelled as
'classified staff'."
The DTF on March 18 sent a
memo including the following
statement to President Evans:
"We believe all differences must
be negotiated in good faith by all
sides. tf such negotiations break
down, an affected. constituency,
to wit: faculty, classified staff.

of an individuals' s participating
in the work stoppage or strike
shall end upon a simple majority
vote of his or her constituency to
return to work."
Evans replied in a March 29
memo which stated: "l read with
interest the memorandum
of
action taken by the DTF. While
it is quite sketchy, l find at least
one aspect of the statement
adopted to be rather unusual:
•... in the case of classified staff
by an affirmative
vole of
one-third ... ' The authorization of
a work stoppage or strike by a
minority of an affected constituency is not only unusual but, I
believe, bad policy. I am rather
confident that the Board of
Trustees will have real difficulty
with that concept as do I."
Members of the DTF, unsatisfied with Rnolution 77-3 and
some aspects of the Strike Policy
Advisory Group report, concluded that th•y should draft a
proposed ,trik• policy based on
their assessment of the strike
issue. They asked L,, Eldridge if
it would be appropriate for them
to exceed their charge in this
manner and, according to Gallagher, Eldridg• told them in
ffiect, "DTFs can do anything

they want."
'We used that as guidance and
justification for going on," says
Gallagher.
Th• DTF developed and on
May 3 unanimously adopted an
initial draft of its proposed strike
policy. The document stipulates
that labor disputes must pass
through the Evergreen Grievance
Procedure before a work stoppage or strike may be authorized, but protects striking employees from dismissal
and
allows for sympathY strikes by
members of unaffected constituencies upon majority approval.
the proposed policy embodies
the same principle for minorityauthorization of strikes by the
classified staff outlined in the
DTF's March 18 memo to Evans.
Campus community members
will have a chance to air their
opinions on the DTF's proposal
at an open forum Thursday,
May 18, in the second noor
library lobby at 12 noon. At
that time DTF Members Peta
Henderson and John Aiken will
present the group', proposed
policy, and a general discussion
will follow. Copies of the DTF's
strike policy are now available at
the Campus Information Center.

The KAOS Spring Marathon
ended May 7 after bringing in a
total of $1700 in listener pledges.
Numerous "premium" items were
donated by local merchants,
making it possible for KAOS to
award some contributors with
merchandise valued comparably
to the amounts they pledaed.
The Marathon closed with an
exciting auction of items such as
plane rides, records and calculators. Money raised during the
Marathon
will be used to
maintain the non-commercial
radio station. KAOS is funded
largely by S & A, but must
make up a substantial part of
that funding each year to meet
its total budgetary needs.
Station Manager David Rauh
says "the staff is very pleased"
with the results of the Spring
Marathon, although it raised less
than th• $2,000 collected by last
fall's extravaganza.

Steve Francis explained, "If we

and the total we come up with is

some more work.··
During the morning session of
the meeting, the nine budgets on
the block were open for discussion. "The purpose of the
morning was to have the budgets

said
Francis. 'That didn't work."

There was disagreement over
funding the Organic Farm. Three
plans were offered. One plan
suggested simply that the Farmhouse board up until more
student interest in the project
arises. A second plan involved
only finishing the exterior, at a
cost of over $5,000. The third
proposal was to allocate enough
money to finish the building.
Rick Tessadore of the Recreation
Center said, "All I have is
someone else's word on student
input out there, but it doesn't
seem the project is ready to have
$20,000 put into it yet." A
student spokesperson
for the
farm conceded that "the few
people who are into it are really
into it, the others just sort of
drop in and out."
Weatherproofing the building
seems to be the most urgent
problem with the farmhouH'.
Because of the way the building

must be custom fitted. 'We have

custom windows made in a
shop," said the spokespenon. It
was estimated that windows and
doors for the building will cost
$5,000. with an
additional
$15,000 needed to complete its
construction.
A DTF report conefflling the
Farmhouse was passed out during the meeting. The report
noted that completion costs for
the building would run $.5 to
$7.50 per square foot, compared
with $30 to $35 per square foot
for most local raidtntial housing. "Financially the project will
be well worth your while to
complete," the report stated.
During the afternoon .... ion,
the meeting voted five to three
to allocate $.5,000 to the farmhouse for weatherproofing, and
earmarked an additional $15,000
should there be an academic
program next fall to complete
the project. There is a ttrong
doubt that such a program is in
the offing, however.
"Will
Humphreys told me that there's
no money to hire new faculty for
the Farmhouse next
year,"
Franc;is told the sroup. "But he
said the Farmhouse hu top
priority ii there's any opportunity to shih a faculty member into
it next fall."
Funding for transcripts and
portfolios was left as it stood.
The budget there had alttady
been cut back to a minimum, at
$3,115, and there was a consensus to leave it at that.

T.... dore pointed out that they
serve several functions besides
providing towel., both in the
prevention of theft and vandalism, and in providing some
measure of safety in the locker
rooms.
During the afternoon session
funding decisions were reached
on the Farmhouse, SoltA Operations, and Transcripts. With five
more budget propooals to go,
those attending
Wednesday's
meeting realized that 27 percent
of the budgets would need to be
cut.
However, a good deal of these
budgets wen, made up of fixed
costs, particularly
the CAB
Operating Budget. Rather than
making specific decisions as to
where these budgets should make
cuts, a ten percent reduction waS
requested. The groups will attempt to mue the cut and return
to the S.!<ABoard next week.
Board member Bill Hucks
commented on the need to have
a more specific idea of what
money was available before
dealing with proposals from the
other ·student groups. "My discomfort here is, we're leaving big
holes in what we're dealing with.
I'd like to be a little more dear
on things before anybody starts
thinking about other groups."

Library Studying
Tape Access
by John Seward
Changes are coming to the
Evergreen Audio Collection. By
next fall It's likely you will no
longer be able 10 check out
tapes-in fact there might no, be
any there. At least that'• the way
ii loob to George Rlckenon of
Technical Services.
Rlcbnon is cum,ndy on a
DTF that'• boett developing a
new access 1y1tem for the
library. The DTF was formed 10
aJISWff
a problem that ha, come
up Involving new copyright
laws. "Based on information
we've aolted for from the
attorney General's Offia, about
five percent of our tapes Weft
made illegally, We didn't do it
knowingly,'' says Rlcbnon.
Before 1972 there wen no
ttStrictions on making coplH of
records.
In that year,
an
amendment to the copyright
laws was passed allowing =rd
companies to copyright their
materials by printing a small "P"
on the record coven. About five
percent of the tapes have been
dubbed from records with this
mark.
Another law went into effect
as January 1, 1977, making it
illegal 10 reproduce any ffi:ord,
markrd or not, without permission from the record company.
A)J of the cassette tapes on the
shelves h~ve been recorded from
discs in the library's collection.
ln order to preserve the discs,
access to them has been highly
restricted, while the 4,500 tapes
circulate freely. The DTF II now
faced with a dilemma: how to
continue ,to increase the audio
collection, and still provide
aCCHS
to newly acquired material.
"Realistically,
there's rwo
thinp we could do," oays

Recreational Art,, a spokesperson for the studios told the
meeting his budget was "really at
a bare minimum: I haven't even
budgeted for equipment maintenance, of which we have a sizable
amount." He noted that lab fees
have tripled, and material priCft
have also risen. "If I have to
make cuts, it will be in the
darkroom. If people learn the
game, they can get into the
academic darkroom, on campus.
'That's not true with the ceramia
and metal studios."
Several propooal1 dealing with
the Campuo Recreation Center
were discussed. One person
suggested cutting out the locker
room attendent1 and moving
that service to. Equipment CheckOut. Rick Te11adore of the
Recttation Center oald, 'That's a
susgestion. I think that's important, We need 10me option,. If
you left it up to me, I would
force the issue and cut back on
hours.· ,In. the past that's what
I've done to cut the budget, and
the bitch tickets have just come
in in droves."
Tessadore, however, was op-,
posed to the idea of dispensing
with locker room attendents.
'They often ~ to be doing
nothing, but I see their job as
vital." Others present agreed.

Rlckenon we could either write
to the record c:ompanie, for
permission to dub, or we could
think of a way to have acca.s
without dubbing." Rlckenon ~
lieves that not all companies
would give Evergrttn permlslion
to dub, and the library would be
faced with the problem of only
panial acass.
An example of acaso without
dubbing II the oystem at the
Univenlry of Washington's MiniMedia Center. Rickenon explain, that there, studtnb
requHt a staff penon to play a
particular record on rushquality'
turntables, th111minimizing wear
on the disa. •
Rickerson oay, that were such
a system installed at Evergrttn,
existing tapes would probably be
disposed of In some way. 'We' re
not just going to throw them
out. We don't know what,would
be done with them yer." Thett is
already a backlog of unprocessed
records in
the
collection.
'Whether or not we get a listening center depends entirely on
money," says Rlckenon. 'The
way it looks now, it's not going
to be anything fancy.
It Stttns likely, according 10
Rickerson, that next year a
temporary listening facility will
be set up using existing Evergreen equipment. Setting up a
system more appropriate to the
collection requittS capital funds,
and the earliest time the library
will be able to request such
funds will be next spring.
"The primary factor we're
considering is, what will provide
the best service to usen," Ays
Rickenon. "More we do anything, information will have to
be gotten from the community,
especially from people who use
the collection heavily."

''The New Age Education Confa-ence" II being 1ponsored by
the Cascadian Regional Library,
a non-profit networking uaociation involved in INueo of social
change. Nearly 50 workshops
aimed at innovation in education
are slated for the three-day
"ent.

According to Sego Jacbon, a
teacher at the Thunton County
Off-Campus School and co-coorsfinator of the education confa-ence, information to be shared
by educaton will range in theme
from preschools to doctoral
work.
In 1977, a group of educator1
at the "Equinox" gathering in
Oregon began laying the foundations for this weekend's confa-ence. Jagcson and coworker
Debbie Leung later 1uggHted
Evergreen as an appropriate
location.
Since that t~ the conference
staff has grown to include nine
memben, and has been co-sponsored by EPIC, the Men's
Center, The Outdoor Education
Program, and the Washington
Alternative Leaming Auociation.
Jackson ·expects Evergreen students to attend because, as he
puts It, "A lot of people around
here •have fantasi.. of starting
their own ochools."
One of the groups to attend
The New Age Education Confa-ence will be comprised of rush
school 1tudtnts from the Mountain Open School in Colorado.
They will discuss a program
they're involved in called 'Urban
Experiential Education".
Rather than confronting situation, in the wilderness like an
outdo0r education

these 1tudtnts have confronted
that Jndespa,oable unit of civilization: the city,
Another highlight of the conference will be the "New

Jackson, "the more the merrier."

fully. He would write in the woods as he
h.ad always meant to write. But his main
occupation would be to take people out
into the forest and guide them about or
take them Ay fishing. He could tie his
own flies. He held up the bottle with a
look of accomplishment and offered his
daughter another joint, not a finger. She
•ca,pted, and as he tricl<leda little of the
drink into he glass he proclaimed tlutt
there was only one mean rutted road into
the whole place. She drank quickly and
then said, "But father, ■o fu up in the
woods would we ever have any friends
and besides when, would I go to achoolr'
Rubbing his chin he said, 'Why couldn't
we ~ke some friends with us and why
couldn't • helicopter take you to school."
Yes, it would do nicely to tffld her to
school by air.
There came that inhalation of silence
that descends when there is only dukness
that surrounds a man's dttam,. 1n a
breath from the shadow in which his
daughter sat he heard her say, with some
emotion, "but do you really think it's
possible; the money, I mean, for all tlutt
property." Alneady like a woman, he
thought; trying to iron things out. With a
bunt of en"'l!Y, which wa1 like n,aliry
itself, the doctor said tlut1 he had bttn
thinking about the matter a good du! and
that Jim NellOn would probably malt• it a
joint venture. He had been a logger once,
although he was a lawyer now. Th,
daughter moved in her oeat and said with
some impatien<:e, "But do you really
mean it's true1 I just can't believe that
you really mean h. looking
at his
daughter, lull in the face, he told her, "By
God do I mean It'■ tru•. 111 pr on the

to the coffee table where hi■ phone Nt;

a little
rotating Ille that Nt at la lid,, he found
th, number and dialed.
For the daughter the room wu not a
room, but • dream flllecl by her father.
She liotened to hi■ amiable bantering with
Jim, wondering. Shortly, the doctor hung
the receiver on the phone and told her
that he WU ulttp and p,od for nothlna
at th• moment.
"W,'11 talk again

Be(on, 1he doctor left the office that
eve_ninghe took a call from a palinu he
had bttn consulting off and on for yean.
It was a chronic cue. He spoke at
intervals, bearing out the patient's story:
··vn...well...uh huh ... tlutt's right ... W.U, I
chink you'n, getting all upset with .. .!
understand your conettn ... Let me just tell
you what I know and maybe that will
help. As a physicia.n I can assure you tlutt
11 is impossible to contract ... Wait, can
you listen to me7" The patient's low,
rambling protests continufti as the doctor
held the rKeivu slightly away from his
Par and gued at a large, ceramic circus
elephant that stood at the foot of his
couch. It seemed to slumber there in the
semi-darkness at the bottom of his office;
1he only opening to the outside was
through a strip of narrow panes directly
below the ceiling. Leaning forward in his
chair. the doctor brought the conversation
to a close: 'Well, John, just hold on 'till
Thursday. We'll have an appointment
then. Just hold off on this 'till then. We
can get this whole matter straighten~ up
at that point. Right7 Okay7 Are you
Okay7 Okay." He hung the receiver on
the phone, the perpetual phone and then
srnod, gathered up a s,ack of charts on
the desk, stopped at the closet to pick up
a dictaphone and left the room.
Louise, his nurse, greeted him with a
Goodbye." As he passed her in the
reception room he thought of her, once
again, as being born rasily into this
world. He left the office that evm.ing
thinking of her. He knew that it was
thought they were having an affair, but
,his was not the c~. Although this was
never acknowledged by him or his wife. it
was an important
factor in their
relationship and brought out the uncer1aimy that passed between thmi. and
made their life together miserable. In his
profession, he thought almost automatically about reaction rather than truth. In
h,s h•nd he held the power of diagnosis.
When he thought about it, the situation
betwttn them, he knew it was the very
silence of her steady demands upon
him-"for the sake of the family" and the
fact that she thought he had to be coerced
inio being a father that turned his rath
against her. He thought of asking her who
and what it was that made him so
unrespohsive. That certainly would draw
trom her a hostility
and an open
accusation of his ina~uacy
that he
could hate without reserve. For years he
had been quite conscious of a wish nor to
be like his wife and possessed of what he
termed and referrfli to aJoud, even in her
presence, as her Protestant Ways.
After stopping at a liquor store he
continued home and entered the front
door of the house with a fomaste of
aversion. She would be there, fixing
dinner, or, as he liked to think, fixing his
life. Entering the narrow, galley kitchen
he walked around his wile who wu
smelling spiCft in a jar over a pan of
bubbling spaghetti sauce. H• spoke to her
over his shoulder while he prepared
maninis in a tall, cylindrical gla., ''What
did you do about the bankr' After a
