Bean feeds
and bear stew
In Yelm it began as a celebration
marking the opening of a road link
with Tenino. In McCleary Norm
Porter wanted to prove that Grays
Harbor bear meat was the best
tastini. around. Silverdale residents
,tarted one out of a lack of anything
lwtter to do during the summer.

Supression through fearin small towns, too
iµg wit
anguish
by Barbara Swain
Like many rapes It was well
planned. The assailant chose a
stormy night along Kaiser Road,
aware that young females sometimes
hitchhike to and from The Evergreen State College campus. Spotting a jean-clad brunette he pulled
to the side of the road and
mentioned campus housing In response to a cautious Inquiry about his
•destination. The victim's first clue
of trouble was that the Interior door
handle was missing from the
passenger's side. Then, despite the
darkness and poor weather, her
driver donned a pair of sunglasses...
The terror
that
Sandy (a
fictltlous name) felt as the car passed
the dorm cut-off and headed
towards an abandoned field south of
campus ls shared by thousands of
victims of violence against women
annually In Thurston County. The
abuse comes In many forms-rape,
sexual assault, beatings and mental
and psychological abuse. And while
the number of reported crimes ls on
the rise, for many the attacks remain
ugly, personal secrets, unreported to
the police, concealed from friends
and relatives and misunderstood by
the general public.
Sandy, now a 24-year old
Evergreen graduate working for the
Women's Shelter ln Olympia, has
*n
a repeated victim of semal
abuse. She endured forced 1erual
relationships with her step-grandfather from the time slie wu three,
until at eight she thiutened to call
the police. At 18 she was raped In a
Seattle alley by a man claiming to
be a police detective. Again In 1974,
the nightmare of rape was repeated
for Sandy minutes from
green campus.
These Incidences have had a
profound effect upon Sandy's life. As
a child she felt guilty about her
relationship with her grandfather. "I
knew there was something strange
about It, It was such a hidden, secretive thing. I had such a black,
horrible feeling, afraid more than
anything else my parents would find
out and punish me, not my
grandfather." Ten years after the
sexual assaults ended, Sandy was
again confronted with rape as a
young adult, and again reacted with
guilt and fear of disoovery. "I wasn't
afraid, only wanted to get It over
with. I just wanted to get home, act
normal and keep It a secret from my
parents."
Sandy's feelings of fear and
shame are common to many victims
of sexual violence. Jean Reichert,
Coordinator
of Rape Relief In
Olympia, explains, "Despite Increased public awareness, one of the
primary myths surrounding
rape
remains real to many vlctlms-that
the crime was ln 10me way their
fault, that somehow they are guilty
and responsible for the rape." Thls
guilt, for Sandy, led to four years of
penonal torment during which she
kept the story of her abuse bottled
up Inside of her, unable to openly
confront her own feeUngs.
"I was living In a feminist,
primarily lesbian household," she
says. "For two years I wanted
nothing to do with men-they were
all creeps. I had a few relationships,
MOli!lS,thjlt dour oul gentleman, suggested that If a woman
efend her husband against an attacker by "se;zing the attacker's
rivate parts," then her hand should be cut off. Women have been
ten and bullied by men since shortly after time began. Their
assertiveness has been continually met with brutal rebukes. Moses'
ideas may seem archaic, but how far have we really come today?
Crimes of violence against women today are still among the most
common. The problem hits home all too frequently.
Last Sunday morning, July 23, a woman was assaulted by a man
who had entered her unlocked apartment in The Evergreen State
College Residence Halls. An attempted rape; police are currently
investigating.
In Thurston County, reported cases of sexual abuse and assault
numbered about 250 In the past year. The F.8.1. says that five to
ten times that number go unreported.
That women live in fear has become almost a truism. Nationally,
one ii) ten can exoect tn h,, raned. Women are battered every 18
seconds. In cities, the dangers are greatest, but recent studies are
showing that rape is increasing fastest in rural areas.
America is probably the most violent society In the world.
Numbed citizens may find it hard to distinguish violence against
women from all the rest, or 007 from reality. Colleen Spencer of the
women's shelter in Olympia says, "I think that abuse-not
just
physical abuse-comes In· a lot of forms. We're taught pretty
effectively how to do it right from the start. Women aren't
necessarily exempt, but there's no excuse for using force."
(See page 4 for more on this subject. )
but they Inevitably went sour. At
Evergreen I wai barely hanging on,
practically Dunking out of school. I
knew something was wrong, seriously wrong with me, but I couldn't
comprehend my own emotions."
Some relief from her mental
anguish came In the form of a letter
Sandy wrote to her inother when she
was 22. "I began telling her about
my grandfather, and then It all
came gushing out-the five years of
forced sex, the rape In Seattle and
my unspoken fears, The feeling was
&11tazlng-like a total catharsls .
Sandy's discovery-that
much
support can be found for the vlctlm
of violence In sharing her experiences with othen and knowing that
other women go through the same
hell after being victimized-has
helped her come to terms with the
Impact her experiences have had
upon her life and to help others at
the Women's Shelter. After revealing
her saga to her mother, Sandy went
on to talk to other women who had
had similar experiences and spent a
quarter studying rape at Evergree<>.
By the time she was raped at
Evergreen in 1974, she was ready to
confront the situation.
"Although he had me at gun
point, I kept thinking of the
legalities of the situation. I refused
to have sex with him Insistently to
make sure I could later prosecute
without being accused of consent."
The whole time I felt I was better
able to understand what actually
was taking place, why this man
wanted to have sex with me. Rapists
are motivated by an Interest in
power, a need to control and
'conquer,
not by uncontrollable
sexual desire. After he parked near

"Oh you can ' t scare me, I'm stickin' to the union
'
had to live with at the firehouse. "In the past
we've had a problem keeping people here because
of that atmosphere; so we're going to try and do
something about it with the union.
"We find some of the conditions we have to live
under are a little ridiculous," says Strecker ... For
example, men and women can't sleep together. We
have no right to privacy, on duty or off. Duty
officers can just walk in on us any time they
want.··
Strecker admits that the union issue has caused
a flap and created tension between his group and
the paid personnel in the district. "It was really
disappointing that we had to create a confrontation situation in order to be taken seriously, but
the students bad various conversations with the
chief, and the response we got was either nothing
or just negative ...
District Fire Chief Charles Allison has been
opposed to the union from the start. Duty officers,
too, had reservations about It, fearing students
might cut into their salary pie In negotiations.
Chief Allison says, "The biggest reason I'm
against the union Is I don't consider them (the
students) full-time, full-uniform firefighters-no
way. They're novice at what they do. Right down
to driving a truck they need training."
Although Allison contends they aren't full-
"
fledged, students took the issue to the state Public
Employees Relations Committee. The committee
ruled that students met the criteria as full-time
public employees, and approved the formation of
the union.
Allison pointed out that few students remain at
the firehouse for more than a year. "How can they
form a group with any kind of continuity in a
situation like that?" he asks. "Our paid staff has
been here a few years and we know what they
want. We're saying this just Isn't a viable situation
in which to form a union."
Both the students and Allison seem to agree
that working at the firehouse is a valuable
ezperience. 'They're alot better off than those kids
out there pulling weeds," says Allison. Besides
immediate benefits, students are Interested in other
aspects of the job. Strecker, for example, talks of
the value of experiencing death first-hand and
working in crisis situations.
In contrast to Allison's emphasis of the fact that
students are just novices, Strecker feels that student
firefighters are able to operate on campus In a way
that volunteers can't. "Between all of us, we know
alot of the people we have to go and see here. We
get calls for things like drug problems and
attempted suicides-the
volunteers just wouldn't
know how to handle that kind of thing."
The budget process gets more complicated

After working on it almost a year, student
firefighters at The Evergreen State College formed
a legal union this week. According to their lawyer,
Frank Denis, it's probably the only one like it in
the country ... This will give students the right to
have input in grievance procedures and living
conditions at the firehouse," says Denis. ..The
union will make all those issues bargainable."
The McLane Fire District employs ten student
firefighters at the campus firehouse. The students,
several paid duty officers, and volunteers from
off-campus are responsible for fire protection on
the campus and emergency
medical calls
throughout the McLane District.
Work.Ing 24-hour shifts, the students are Qn two
days, then off three. They put In about 40 hours
per week at the firehouse, receiving remuneration
of free room and board, and in some Instances,
incentive pay.
According to student firefighter Brian Strecker,
pay isn't an issue; what they want is a contract.
"It's just been a like-it-or-leave-it situation," says
Strecker. "'Until now, there hasn't been a
contract-none
of us liked that feeling of
uncertainty. There was just a feeling that student
firefighters weren't to be taken seriously. "
Strecker says that, in part, the union was
formed as a matter of principal-but
the principal
of the thing was affecting the atmosphere students
Further study of the feasibility of
intercollegiate athletics at The Evergreen State College was called for by
members of the Board of Trustees
following a July 13 report from the
task force studying the question.
Trustee Bob Flowers of Seattle,
original instigator of the study, felt
the report did not answer the
ciuestions he asked and called for a
new effort to be completed by
Activities and Recreation Director
Pete Steilberg.
Administrative
Vice-president
Dean Clabaugh, who presented the
two-page report to the Board, said,
..My impression is that the trustees
expected something more probingthey just felt the study wasn't very
thorough." Flowers and Steil berg
.vere both unavailable for comment.
The report submitted
recommended giving more support to sport
clubs already in existence, rather
than jumping into a full-blown
sports program. The Disappearing
Task Force (DTF) investigated sports
programs at other Washington state
c• tleges, and found their budgets in
th•· hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If

wandering
through your favorite section of the
library lately, you may have noticed
something amiss-something
there
that wasn't before, or visa versa.
On closer inspection, you11 find
books have wandered a little to the
left, or right, or in some cases joined
by others.
The library right now Is in the
midst of summer housecleaning. Meg
Menaul of Circulation says, ''We're
trying to shift the shelves around to
make space for new books. It's
summer quarter and a hell of a lot
easier to get it done now." Menaul
says library personnel hope to
complete the project by the end of
summer. When its finished, the
college graphics department will

Olexa pointed out an advantage
of club sports in the school's
relations with the Olympia community: people from outside the
college can take part in them,
whereas they would be excluded
from intercollegiate teams.

at their ·August 15 meeting and
submitted to the governor's budget
office by August 25.
The law required the governor to
estimate revenues and reallocate
funds to all state agencies based on
the level of expected incoming
monies. Funds allocated to public
institutions of higher education were
further divided into nine program
categories-instruction,
plant maintenance, libraries, instructional support,
primary
support,
student
services and public service. Specific
dollar amounts available for each
program were designated by the
governor's budget office. The total
sum allocated to Evergreen was
'19,140,404.
According to Budget Officer
Mike Bigelow the budget planning
procea necessitated by the law was
..a marked departure from what
we've done in the past." Previously,
budget unit heads requested funds

Women and violence
Going to the law:
The cops and the courts
b,· Barbara Swain
Last week a woman in her early
30-s filf'd a complaint against her
husband with the Thurston County
Sheriff. She had suffered six months
of beatings. and only two days
before her husband had threatened
to kill her. The only visible evidence
of abuse was the slight hint of a
bruise under her right eye. She
hadn ·1 seen a doctor and there were
no witnesses to the attach.
An
officer. while sympathetic, responded that the only assistance the police
could provide would be to stand by
and ensure her safety while she

To this woman. as to most
dctims of violence, dealing with the
justice system is an experience
fraught with uncertainties. According to Lieutenant Mac McFarland of

County Sheriff's.
Department ... After a woman makes
the decision to go to the police, she
faces a long ordeal, most of which
she doesn·t fully understand." How
much evidence is needed, what
treatment she can expect, what
authorities she will deal with and
how long the whole process will take
are questions that often go unanswered.
Where _to report.
If a decision is made by a
woman who has been a victim of
rape. sexual assault or physical abuse
to report the crime, she should
report it to the police agency which
has jurisdiction of the area where it
occurs. Crimes occurring within the
city limits of Olympia should be
reported to the Olympia Police
Department,
and those occurring
outside of any city limits to the
Thurston County Sheriff. If the
woman is uncertain
of who to
contact at the various agencies, Rape
Relief or the Women's Shelter office
at the YWCA will provide referrals.
The victim can expect two initial
contacts with the police. First, a
patrol officer will determine what
crime has been committed and seek
a description of the assailant. The
next weekday a detective will begin
the follow-up investigation by taking
the victim's statement. McFarland
emphasized, "It is important for
women, especially those filing complaints of beatings against husbands
or lovers, to realize the police just
can't
go out and arrest
the
accussed... Unless we actually see
the crime take place, the Prosecuting
Attorney must approve and issue a
warrant-a
process that can take up
to a week ... Instead, the police may

COOPER POINT JOURNAL
In midst of the furor,
what's been done at Evergreen?
JULY 27, 1978
--Continued
A woman was pulled Into the
bushes by a man with a Winchester
rifle and raped. The time was 1973,
and the place was a small field near
the student housing parking lot of
The Evergreen State College. It was
the first reported on-campus rape in
the history of the school.
Student reaction was immediate.
Groups of women and men organized, with the help of Security, a
24-hour escort service for any
woman needing to walk across
campus. In addition,
a drop-in
center in a campus dormitory was
formed to provide a haven for any
woman looking for safety or just
discussion.
Through the intervening years
between that first rape and the
present, there have been many
efforts made on or near campus to
inform, educate about, and try to
prevent violence against women.
"Rape Awareness Week" has been an
annual event here for the past five
years, offering speakers, discussions,
movies, and advocacy on the topic
of rape and how to deal with it. The
Women's Center has catal)'7.ed such
developments as the "Sister Share a
Ride'' program, Assertiveness Training Workshops, films and discussions
about rape and abuse, and the
Feminist Karate Union. Women
have offered their dorm roolll!l for
other women. Men have proposed
bicycle patrols along campus roads
and jogging partners elsewhere.
Many of these efforts and
suggestions came in response to
outbreaks of violence which have
periodically plagued the Evergreen
community.
One such outbreak
occurred
during the summer of 1976 In the
Overhulse Road area. A series of
rapes near the bike path brought a
group of local women together to
talk and share their own erperiences. 'We were outraged by that
• rape," remembers Barbara •Marino
member of the discussion group.
"We wanted to get something
material going for the next school •
year, but It never really happened."
What did materialize
In the
spring of 1977, though, was another
rape in the Overhulse area and
impassioned reaction to It. Groups of
women went door to door Informing
people about the rape and their
desire to stop future ones. 'We were
,making people aware/
Marino
insisted, ··that we cared, we knew
what was going on, and we didn't
like it." They organized a rape
prevention program in the Overhulse
and Evergreen areas. A communication network was set up, a ride
board at the Women's Center listed
cars which were wllllng to pick up
stranded women, publicity was put
out community-wide, and a close
working relationship with Campus
Security was established. In addition, the rape prevention program
helped set up local ~ups
in the
Eastside, Westside, and Steamboat
Island areas.
The program lasted until the
ummer of 1977, then disbanded.

that lots of books were on new shelves,
but there was no point in re-labeling
them till it was all done, and all I had
to do was stay in the right general area

Nevertheless. it seems obvious
that attempts must be made. "Fat
farms" are one example. (This is not
to mention innumerable
books,
articles, advisors, pre-packaged diet
plans, etc., etc.).
These institutions are operating
across the country at prices ranging
from $100 to $1,600 a week. The
services offered range from eucalyptus-scented
saunas and dietetic
Coquille St.-Jacques
to unsalted
vegetables garnished with jogging
and calisthenics. Weekly weight loss,
depending on the program and the·
individual, is purported to range
from four to 12 pounds.
Camp Murietta offers a middle,I

line approach
to losing weight,
combining the two essentials, diet
and exercise. The food is not strai!(ht
vegetables,
nor is it gourmet
fare. A typical lunch might consist
of one hot dog and bun, cole slaw,
some melon, and a diet soft drink.
As far as exercise, the girls do
everything from dance to swimming
to volleyball.
Despite Science'• discouraging
statements about obesity, weight loss
is definitely possible. Camp Murietta
is just one of a multitude of ways to
do it. Keeping it off after they've
lost it is where the hard work comes
in.

obesity is becoming more hotly
debated. At a recent conference on
"Obesit) and the American Public,"
investigators admitted ignorance as
to the causes of obesity and how best
to treat it. Surprisingly. the best
predictors of the condition are not
genetic or metabolic, but social:
relating to family, sex, national
origin, and social class. The factors
contributh)g to obesity are multiple,
and the only widespread conclusion
is that treatment should be tailored
to the patient's particular type of
obesity.
It is discouraging to report that,
according to Science magazine,
"only 5-20 % of obese people can
lose weight and keep It off after
dieting." They continue, "Cure of
obesity Is virtually unheard of, and
ev~n control is only rarely achieved."
