Though I never shop at any of the
other Westside Mall stores, I go to
Safeway at least every couple of days.
That's where my household gets most of
its produce. I have to admit that a year
ago, I wouldn't have been caught dead
shopping there, because supporting the
co-op and getting better deals on heaJthier
food made more sense. But thf:Se days I
just can't pass up the bargains. You see,
food fights and the delight of uncovering
potatoes, bananas, and whatever else
Safeway deems unfit to sell. For the most
part, the food that I find is as fresh or
fresher than the stuff I dig out of the
deeper reaches of my refrigerator. Then I
take it home and wash it carefuJly. Voila,
dinner for thirty; just add tofu.
Now there's much more going on here
than just frtt food and a good time. I

Safeway and other grocery stores, once
their produce develops even the slightest
Im~
of over•ripeness, toss it out the

time I get there, it's ,l't1J1t-d up to a
veritable cornucopia. Then it''i over the

used to be quite taken by the mystery and
intrigue of sneaking into dumpsters, and
always drove away cheerfully thinking,
"well, thanks for the free eats, Safeway!"
But then I started seeing the connections
between the wasted food in their
dumpster and the rest of the food
industry's business. Though Safeway does
serve the needs of many people, the
integrity of that service is dubious,
considering that the food they sell is
exploitative, and energy-intensive system
of food production and distribution called
Agribusiness.
Since WWII, when U.S. agriculture was
still based largely on family farms, the
food industry has rapidly been taken over
by giant corporations. More than three
million farms have been bought out since
1943. The Forbes 500 Annual Business
Directory shows that presently sixtttn of
the largest corporations, such as the Bank
of America, are involved in Agribusiness.
The Bank of America typifies these new
Agribiz giants. The largest private bank in
the world got its start by foreclosure on
land during the Depression and by seizing
Japanese-owned land during WWII. The
Bank of America makes one billion
dollars a year' on loans that finance half
of all California Agribusinesses, owns
much of Safeway and Tennecb, and has
actively fought organizing drives by the
United Farm Workers. Among other
corporations involved in Agribusiness are
ITT which bought out the makers of
Wonder bread shortly after it helped
overthrow the people's government in
Chile, Dow chemical which produces
lettuce along with napalm,
Exxon,
Texaco, and many other oil companies
that produce agricultural chemicals or
supply the fuel essential to large scale
food distribution.
For yeMc;, the US government has
supported Agribusiness by paying large
growers not to grow certain foods,
supposedly to encourage more efficient
land use. This keeps supplies low and
prices high on parti<;'ular foods. In 1972,
sixty million acres were w1·1hheld from
food production,
despite r1·s,·ng gra,·n
prices and the wheat shortage caused by
the-exorbitant wheat deal made w1·1h the
USSR. The amount of money paid out to
growers is staggering: J.C. Boswell, one
of the largest farmers in the US, was paid
21 million dollars over a period of five
years by the USDA. This corporate

In the editorial

you so
clumsily

student input in the DTF. As one of four

I suspect your misconception is related
to the fact that you never attended an
Enrollment DTF meeting. Your opinion is
of little consequence, though.
You attended the Board of Trustees
meeting February 13 at which time it was
dearly stated that the primary assumption
under which the DTF operated wa::; that
Evergreen's

In the advertising for the meeting, the
definition
of lesbian
was severely
distcrted.
The definition
posted was.
"lesbian-an
identification of our shared
oppression
and independence,
not a
definition of our sexuality." Lesbianism is
not just a sexual
preference,
but
expanding
this definition
to include
women who are not woman-identified in
all aspects of their lives is dangerous.
Lesbians
are women who identify
themselves
sexually, emotionally,
and
politically with other women. We see that
separating ourselves from men in this way
is a crucial step toward breaking down
the power that men exert over our lives.
The definition voiced at the meeting fails
to acknowledge
the oppression lesbians
face because of the threats we pose to this
male-dominated society.
We recognize that it is a small group of
rich, white men who are the real enemies,
but the system has been set up so that all
men receive some benefits from keeping
women down. They receive the privilege
to use our bodies to meet their emotional
and sexual needs. As long as we support
men in this way, we are buying into our
own oppression.

Lost and
Define Your Terms
March 1
Due to atarm on the part of military
and government
officials at lack of
guality in the volunteer
Army, and
possibly at the precarious state of world
affairs, there may soon be legislation
passed to reinstate the draft.
There are currently three, soon to be
six, such bills before Congress. Three of
the bill, H.R. 23, S. 226, and S. 109, call
for ongoing registration in order to speed
the induction process in case of crisis.
'The Montgomery Draft Bill" calls for
induction of 100,000-200,000 men (and
possibly
women)
each year.
Two
National Service bills are expected to be
introduced. Both would provide a choice
between military and civilian service.
One would make it compulsory for a.II
young Americans to serve either two
years in military
with educational
benefits, or one year civilian with no
benefits. The second would draft by
lottery.
A more thorough report on these bills
will appear in the next issue of the CPJ.
Co-op Ed. Hours
1
Beginning Tuesday, February 27, the
Co-op Ed office will schedule special
hours when students may confer with a
Co-op counselor on a drop-in basis.
Although students are still encouraged
to make appointments whenever possible,
the following times will be available for
drop-in conferences:
Tuesday 10 a.m.-12 noon
Wednesday 1 p.m.-3 p.m,
Friday 1 p.m.-3 p.m,
S&A
Survey
by Marissa Zwick
Within the next couple of days all
students will be receiving a survey on
student services and activities (S&.A)
funding. The purpose of the survey is to
give all students the opportunity to slate
their opinions on how they would like the
S&A fees spent. The accumulated results
will be used to assist the S&A Board in
establishing
priorities for spring allo•
cations.
Presently, we, the Board, are at the
stage where we are establishing
the
criteria and priorities for students' services
and activities. As I mentioned, the survey
is designed to assist us in establishing our
priorities, but the results will only be
representative if we have a high number
of sureys returned. We cannot force you
to respond, all we can do is emphasize the
importance and benefit to you as a
student in taking advantage of responding
to this survey. This is the only way that
we will be able to get an idea of what the
students want for services and activities in
our own community. So , please fill out
the survey!
If you have
further

on anything
related to S&A please feel free to attend

the Board Room, Library 3109), to speak

RARED PANEL
The RARE II panel discu11ion on
Thursday, Feb. 22, followed the tradition
of many other such occasions of the put.
The panel consisted of Willi Unsoeld, the
panel moderator,
and representatives
from the lndwtrial Forestry Auo., Sian
Oub, Environmental Protection Aga,cy,
US ForHt
S•rvlco
and th• WA
Sportsman Auo. With 1uch a divaw
representation of opinion, it was possible
to hear quite a variety of approaches to
wilderness land use.
The actual lands in question total 62
million acres nationally, 2.6 million of
which are in Washington. The basic
point of contention is how much land
should be preserved as protected wilderness area, and how much should be
developed for logging and tne fanning.
The Industrial Forestry rop, presented
his outlook by discussing the need for
wood, the growing wood market, and
"over-mature" forests. He followed that
be defining the difference
between
volume and acreage as "acreage being
just the amount of land while timber is
the volume."
The:n "mu1'iple use" was discussed,
first from.the perspective that sensitive
and extensive forest management
is
possible and necessary to meet the world
nttds for wood. Then the Environmental
Protection Agency representative brought
up serious doubts that the forests could
sustain inte:nsi've management without
seriously damaging the ecosystem. The
Forest Service representative
inspired
some interesting conclusions by admitting
that the term "Multiple
use" was

Many women have been desperately
looking for jobs in Olympia.
Young
women, older women. women of color,
and women with children are having an
especially hard time, but even women
with a college education or trade skills
have been struggling unsuccessfully to
find jobs. Even the most degrading kinds
of work have become extremely competitive.
Because of unrealistic regulations, most
of us are not eligible for unemployment
benefits,
welfare,
or even federally
subsidized job programs. Many of us are
subsisting doing scattered part-time work
such as housecleaning, working at the
docks, or child care. Some of us have
been receiving help from sisters to tide us
oVer the rough times. Too many of us
have been staying in abusive family
situations for financial survival.
At the same time, corporate profits are
booming. We can see wealthy lobbyists
and fegislators eating and driking at
expensive restaurants. But the federal and
state governments are cutting back on
social welfare programs, limiting eligibility for welfare grants ad unemployment
benefits.
In light of this situation, we were
offended by the Febrqary 16 Cooper Point
Journal article, 'The Women on Fourth
Street... The small business-owning women are described as "women who have
found roles which satisfy them." Though
individual women can make themselves
cozy by using their privilege, we disagree
with the article's assumption that women
as a class can make it in a system which
survives by holding women down.
We agree that women should be able to
work at what they enjoy and make their
living. The fact is,however, that few
people have this opportunity. It is usuaUy
privilege (i.e. money from family or
connections) that enables a person to start
a business - though there are exceptions.
Nevertheless, once a business is started
and owner has the power to use he;
values to influence the community.
Radiance challenges Western medicine and
sexism (on some levels) by providing
herbs and legitimate therapeutic massage.
The Cafe Intermezzo welcomes lesbians.
On the other hand, Budget Tapes and
Records bombards passersby with violent
sexist images in their window displays. A
woman-owned business is not inherently
any more progressive or even anti-sexist
than a man-owned business. Each owner
has the power to choose whether or not
to be responsible to the community.

Due to pressures
to end federal
overspending
and waste. all sorts of
"wasteful" services such as Social Security
and services to physically or mentally
handicapped persons are being cut back.
With the tact of Anny Intelligence, Fort
Lewis has decided to follow this trend in a
rather bassackwards manner.
Fort Lewis produces as much as ten
truckloads of m~ waste a day, a hog
farmer's dream come true. Since 1941.
this massive waste has gune to good use,
feeding a local resident's hogs. The deal
has done weU by the government and the
hog farmer, not to mention the hogs.
Now the Anny wants to keep its waste
to itself a little longer. They plan to grind
up all this waste and send it down the
drain. This would mean problems with
water and solid waste treatment and
disposal, increased costs, loss of local jobs
at the hog fann, and a lot of hungry
hogs, A Congressional staff member has
been working with the hog farmer and the
Anny to preserve this waste for a usdul
'purpose.
We live in a patriarchal. capitalistic
society which depends on the oppression
of women for its survival. Patriarchy is
the institution of male dominance. It relies
on womP.n's economic dependence on
men.Capitalist class owns and controls
the means of pruduction and exploits the
labor of the working class for its own
profit. Under capitalism. women (as well
as young, old, unemployed. and imprisoned people) are used as reserve labor
force. If most women are unemployed or
working at very low•paying and degrad•
ing jobs, the capitalists can use us as a
cheap source of labor.
We are constantly facing the fact that
we need jobs • any jobs - to pay the rent.

work for capitalists

capitalists. to earn the "right" to survive
in our own communities. Our desperate
situation serves to maintain patriarchy, as
well as capitalism. Capitalists primarily
white men. control our working situations. If the struggle to support ourselve-;
and our families becomes too strenouos,
many women also end up relying on men
in their personal lives for economic
survival.
Women with money should use their
resources responsibly, One priority should
be providing as many non-alienating and
enjoyable jobs as possible. We know that
small business owners usually work long.
hard hours for low pay. They usually
have few employees.
They may pay
workers at the same rate as. themselves
and be generally benevolent.
Having
experienced sexism in working situations,
women owners may be more sensitive to
the needs of women workers.
In ·'alternative"
businesses, workers
usually have more freedom than at
straight jobs. Still, a business with an
owner is very different than a collective in
which all workers
control
business
decisions and working conditions. Worker
controlled collectives can be an alternative
to mimicking capitalist structures.
We see the CPJ article as abusing the
women's movement
by focusing on
women "making it" as small businesswomen. Even worke, controlled businesses may not pose a threat to the
oppression of women. We must collectively free women from oppressive
relationships with all men, as well as
capitalists. The article does not talk about
feminist struggles,
the fight against
sexism, or these women's views on these
issues.
Right now women must support each
other on a survival level so that we can
build strength and weapons for our
struggle. We must fight for the right for
all women to work for our own benefits.
our friends, and our communities, not
just to fill the pockets of a privileged few.
No woman should be satisfied in a role
that does not challenge capitalism and
patriarchy.

Biocides
by Paul Loo~r
Paraquat, Casoron, Simizine: these are
the biocides that the Facilities Office of
Evergreen intends to spray this spring to
··control" herba~us
pests on campus.
The spring herbicide program was
announced
by Dave West in the
Evergrttn newsletter of two weeks ago.
Last Thursday I spoke with Dave West
about this program and he referred me lo
Bill Mobbs, the man who will be doing
the actual spraying. Bill stated that he
will begin spraying as soon as he gets
an 0.K. from the Evergreen Environmental Advisory Council (EAC). The
EAC. now dnunct, has in the past bttn
composed of three faculty, three staff
members, and three students. Therefore
this groups should be reorganized before
the spring biocide program is initiated.
EAC policy states, in section 174-1~
320, paragraph (2),
The facilities office, through
its
grounds m&intmance forces, shall work
toward reduction and eventual dimtnation of bioclde UM through nwtagemmt
practices that include alternate means to
preclude or control pests and undesirable
herbs. To this end, the Focilitl.. Office
will,
al Est•blish • projected timetable for
the elimination of biodde UH:.
b)To the greatest extent possible,
insure that additional land,ca.ped areas
th1.t are established require no biodde
use for their maintenance and that they
a.re in keeping with native vegftation.
c I Consult with the EnvironmentaJ
Advisory Committee for that committee's
advise on implementing these goals.
Persons interested in reviewing the
policy decisions of the Facilities Office
should contact either the Environmental
Resource Center, Dean Clabaugh, or
John Peardy. As it stands, Facilities
wishes to spray Paraquat along campus
roads, Casoron in the immediate vicinity
of the campus dormatories, and Simizine
as indicated in various planting beds on
campus. Please help in this review

Organize
by Ellen Kissmah
Sometime this week, the State House
Labor Committ .. will be voting on a bill
(SB 2236) that would tnablt higher
education faculty to bargain collectively
with their institution's Board of TrustttS.
At prestnl, the legal statuJ of faculty
unions is defined so that th• Board of
Trustees decides whether or not they will
bargain with faculty unions. If the bill
becomes law, this decision will rest with
the faculty.
Most faculty around the state a.re
represented
by two different labor
organizations:
either the Washington
Education Association (WEA), or the
Washington
Federation of Teachers
(WFT). Faculty at the University of
Washington
and Washington
State
University are members of a professional
organization, the American Association
of University Professors. The WFT, of
which one-third of Evergreen faculty an,
members, is a part of the American
ttderation of Teachers which is, in turn,
a member of th• AFL-CIO. Currently
WFf is •ngaged in lobbying on behalf of
Washington state faculty, even though
the state has not acknowledged any
union as legitimate representatives of
faculty interests.
The Evergr.. n local was established
five years ago. According to Peta
Henderson, last year's local prnidfflt, the
union has been playing a "watch dog"
role. They take positions on issues
affecting
their working conditions
through two channtls, an irregularly
published newsletter, and initiatives and
forums at Wednesday afttmoon faculty
meetings. They have also been involved
with other local labor groups. and
through
these
relationships

managed to dis~) a few myths about
Evergreen.

waiting for the outcome of the legislative
vote. In the meantime,

Hector Marroquin
is a 25-year-old
student leader, trade unionist,
and
socialist who fled Mexico to Heape false
charges, torture,
and certain death
because of his political viewpoint. He has
appealed for and been denied political
asylum in the U.S. The U.S. Government
is moving to deport him back to Mexico.
Marroquin's story begins in 1968 when
government forces in Mexico brutally
attacked a peaceful demonstration
of
15,000 students and workers who were
seeking greater political freedom and
other reforms. Hundreds were killed and
thousands injured. The next year, 1969,
Hector Marroquin entered the University
of Nuevo Leon in Monterrey, Mexico. He
became active in the student movement
for democratic rights on campus and in
the struggle for univenity autonomy, a
movement that became a target for
government repression and armed rightwing terrorist gangs. Marroquin became a
member of a student group called Comite
Estudiantil
Revolucionario
(CER), a
political discussion group. He left CER in
August 1973 when the group began
adopting and supporting guerrilla strategy. In 1971 and 1972 he witnessed the
murder of many of his classmates by
government trained terrorist gangs and
police.
Spending Your Money
by William R. Huck& S6'A Coordinator
Over $150 of your tuition each year
goes to student groups and services, and
most of the decisions about this money
are madt by students. This is the SltA
Board.
This money (about $350,000)
is
allocated in the spring for the following
year's use. The S&:A Board is gearing up
for these allocations now, and they'll take
place during the month of May.
S&A money funds two buildings on
campus, th'e Campus Recreation Center
and the Campus Activities Building, as
well as service like the Bus System and
Daycare, and special interest groups such
as the Women's C•nter, EPIC (Evergreen
Political Information Center), and the
Asian Coalition.
The S&A Board funds new budgets as
well as continuing programs, so if you
have an idea for starting a student group
or activity you'll need to prepare a
funding proposal well in advance of the
allocations. Bill Hucks is the contact
person in CAB 305 or at 866-6220.
Both continuing and new programs
need to fill out proposals. Th• deadline is
April 13. It is highly unlikely that late
proposals will be considered. Bill Hucks
In January 1974 the librarian of his
department was murdered, supposedly by
terrorists. Marroquin woke up the next
day to find his picture along with those of
three other friends in the newspaper
accompanying an article accusing them of
the crime. He contacted a lawyer who
advised him that there was no chance for
him to have a fair trial. The lawyer
especially emphasiud that the Monterrey
police were notorious for torture and
murder of prisonen. He said under no
conditions should Marroquin turn himself
in and that he should hide a.s far away as
possible. The newspaper stories that
followed declared Marroquin a terrorist,
banlc robber, murderer,
armed and
extremely dangerous. After the police
assassinated
another of Marroquin's
friends, a professor, he knew he must
leave Mexico.
can provide assistance
in preparing
proposals.
The allocation schedule is not yet
complete so stay tuned for more detail in
later CPJ issues and elsewhere.
Allow m• to eili\onaliu_, The S&A
process is the only form o( student
governance we have at TESC. A board of
mostly
students
makes
decisions
influencing student groups and services
through the expenditure
of student
money. Legally it's State money and the
Board of Trustees approves our decisions,
but for all practical purposes we control
our money.
I strongly urge students to get involved
in the S&A process. All S&A Board
meetings are open and there is a large
degree of input from everyone
in
attendance.
Decisions are made by
consensus.
In one sense, if you don't get involved,
you relinquish your responsibility to those
who do.
So here's an invitation to be directly
invQ}ved in decisions influencing your
college experience. lf you don't show up
we'll assume you agree with our
decisions, a assumption we don't want to
make.
On April 9, 1974 Marroquin fled to the
United States. Since then. two of his
friends accused with him have been
gunned down by police. A third friend,
Jesus Piedra Ibarra, was arrested and
never heard of again. The Mexican
government
still will not te!I his
whereabouts.
On the weekend of September 9, 1977,
Marroquin went to Mexico to see a
lawyer because he still had th• ho~ he
could return to Mexico and clear himself
of the charges. His lawyer was unable to
keep his appointment
and Marroquin
returned to the U.S. Upon reentering the
country, he was arrested by an lmmigra-
for
tion and Naturalization
Service (INS)
official who immediately began interrogating him. Marroquin explained he was a
political refugee and had been living in
the U.S. for almost lour years. They
immediately threw him in jail, and two
days later he was sentenced to three
months in prison for the crime of Otting
political persecutio.(l in Mexico. He
continually requested the right to a phone
call, but it wasn't until the sixth day that
he was allowed to inform his friends of
what had happened to him. It wasn't until
he talked to lawyers that he learned he
should have been told at the border he
could file a petition for political asylum
and been given an application form.
Although Marroquin has spent the past
four years in the U.S., the Mexican
government has continued to accuse him
of crimes he couldn't possibly have
committed because he was not in Mexico.
They claim he was wounded in a gun
battle in Monterrey in June 1974, two
months after he left Mexico. The Mexican
government claims he participated in a
glierrilla raid in Monterrey when he was
in a hospital
in Galveston,
Texas,
recovering from a serious automobile
accident.
INS first threatened to return him to
Mexico by means of an "exclusion"
procedure which permits no plea for
political asylum. After numerous protests,
the hearing was changed to a regular
deportation hearing. INS denied Marroquin's petition for asylum and is now
moving to deport him. He has ap~aled
his case and a deportation hearing has
been scheduled for April 3, 1979, in
Houston, Tex.as. The deportation hearing
runs lilce ii trial with a defense lawyer. a
prastcuting attorney and a Judge which is
appointed by th• INS.
There are some interesting facts about
deportation to consider. In the Federal
Register of Tuesday, January 23, 1979 an
amendment
wu made to the INS
regulations to provide that 1) aliens under
exclusion and deportation proceedings
must be advised of free legal services
programs and organizations in· order to
afford them lull opportunity to obtain
legal representation, and 2) aliens must be
furnished with a notice advising them of
their right to ap~al and of their right to
remain silent until they have had accns to
legal advice.
These rights were denied to Hector
Marroquin when he was arttsted and to
countless thousands of others. This raises
some interesting objections. The manner
in which aliens are processed is unfair.
Fint they are arrested without warrant,
then they are not advised of their rights
before interrogation
by INS officials.
Written notice of free legal service is not
presented to aliens in their own language.
Written notice of appeal rights was
printed in Spanish only last year. Under
these circumstances aliens will be unable
to make knowing and intelligent waivers
of any of their rights, and may have
already admitted deportability.
made
damaging statements, or signed a request
for voluntary return making legal advice
meaningless.
Why does the U.S. government deny
Hector Marroquin political asylum despite
evidence proving his innocence, and
exposing repression, torture and even
murder of dissidents by the Mexican
government? First, because the Carter
administration is reluctant to admit that a
government it supports is torturing and
murdering dissidents. Marroquin is a
socialist and a fighter for human rights.
The U.S. government, like the Mexican
government. tries to silence those who
oppose its policies. Another reason is the
discriminatory immigration policy of the
U.S. government. Only dissidents from
countries the U.S. opposes are granted
political asylum, such as Cuba and
Viet Nam. But dissidents from countries
that the U.S. considers allies, even if they
are dictatorships such as Chile, Haiti, or
Iran, or countries that have repressive
governments
like Mexico, are denied
political asylum. Despite its "human
rights" rhetoric, the Carter administration
is apposed to letting Marroquin stay in
the country. It would be a political
embarrassment for this government to
admit the Mexican government is repressive. Marroquin is also a victim of the
Carter Administration's racist drive to
deport undocumented immigrants. More
than one-million undocumented immigrants were deported last year alone.
At the dtportation hearing set for April
3, Hector Marroquin will be able to
present evidence and witnesses to support
his case. He will resubmit his request for
political asylum. If Marroquin is successful, it will be a victory for the rights to
freedom of s~h.
freedom of political
activity, and for human rights everywhere. You do not need to agree with
Marroquin's politics. You need only be
willing to defend a support of basic
human rights. At Evergreen, MECHA and
YSA are working together to educate the
Evergreen community about the case of
Hector Marroquin and endorse Marroquin's appeal for political asyl~m.
A list of partial supporters can be
found at the MECHA and YSA offices,
library third floor. MECHA and YSA are
now in the process of formulating a
fund-raising event for the support of
Hector Marroquin, as are other student
groups across the country. Watch for an
announcement of ils date and time.
Letters of support should be sent to

New Bus Hours
The Evergreen Evening and Weekend
Bus System is expanding. New features
of the schedule and route include:
• More evening ruru (at 8 and 9)
• Expanded WHkend Service (all
afternoon and evening on Sat. and Sun.)
• Eutslde runs as far as the Cintmta
(8, 9, 10 and II runs)
• Dorm and ASH runs (5 minutes
before each run from Parking Lot C,
evenings and weekends)
• Grocery runs (6 and 7 weekdays, 2
and 4 weekends) to Mark-It and the
FOOD Co-op.
• Midnight runs on Friday and
Saturday nights
• A special run down the length of
Overhulse and most of Kaiser on the
11 : 00 runs back to school from town.
Because of these additions,
some
changes in the old runs have taken place.
Busses leaving town in the evenings will
no longer leave at quarter after the hour;
instead they will leave at half past the
hour. Also, Saturday afternoon busses
no longer run on the hour from
Evergreen; instead, afternoon busses on
Saturday and Sunday will follow the
same schedule that Intercity Transit
busses follow on the weekdays.
Although the schedule looks complicated, it is actually fairly easy to
remember. There is a bus every hour
from 7 a.m. in the morning until 11 p.m.
every evening, with the following
exceptions: 1) there are no morning
busses on the weekends, and 2) there is
an extra bus at midnight on Friday and
Saturday.
The main reason the bus system is
expanding is that more people have been
using the busses this year, most likely
because the daytime runs are more
consistent {11 runs per day as opposed to
last year's 7).
Student Loans
On February 6, Governor Ducy Lee Ray
issued her first Executive Order of 1979
creating a guaranteed
student loan
authority.
The Washington Student Loan Guarantee Association. a non-profit organization,
will act as a guarantor of student loans
made by lending institutions within the
state.
Governor Ray said in 1976 Congress
asked all states to replace the federal
government's program of loan insurance
for students, either through a state
financed and adminstered program or
through a program run by a private
corporation designated by the state.
Washington State will be one of the
first states to comply with the request
from Congm.s and will be used as a
model.

WOW: Work
by Robin Willett
WOW (Work Options for Women), a
CETA funded program of tho YWCA,
assists low income
unemployed
or
under-employed women without a college
degree
to find work.
Because
an
increasing number of women need to
support
families,
WOW focuses on
occupations
not traditionally filled by
women. "The only (non-degree) jobs
paying wages high enough to support a
family are traditionally men's jobs," iaid
Deanna Cook, WOW job CounselorDeveloper for Lewis County.
Few women know what is available in
this market, or what preparations are
necessary for landing a non-traditional
job. Debora Gelleapi, WOW Job Counselor-Develop(r
for Mason County,
explains "People come up and say I'd like
to be a carpenter because that is basically
the most visible trade. It is also very
practical-you
can build your house.
Very few people have any inkling about
machine shops, iron workers, wiremen, or
boiler makers. There is a rea.l nttd to
identify what exists and what those jobs
are about."
Apprentice positions are available in
most of these jobs, provided one has the
right qualifications. High school diploma,
GED, good driving record and maybe
algebra and geometry
are minimum
qualifications
for apprenticeship.
"But
there i1 no way you are going to get into
an apprenticeship
with that kind of
background only," added Debora. "If a
woman hasn't even thought about options
to traditional jobs until 1he'1 19, she has
alot of work to do before she's ready" to
enter a union and eventually receive
journey level wages,, or draw a •good
income on her own.
Maximum age restrictions on union
entry vary depending on the union, moat
refuse entry to those over 24 or 30 years.
"By the time a woman comes to us she is
probably 30; for unions it's often too
late," Deanna explained.
Criteria used for evaluating an appren•
tice applicant includes past training and
education. Questions under these hudings
refer to work that most women have had
little:, if any, experience
with, i.e.,
woodworking, metalworking, mechanical
drawing, auto mechanics, or work in the
service. "But just because you haven't
done these things doesn't mean you don't
have any skills," Deanna said optimistically, "and I don't use tho word 'skills',

Instead WOW asks women what they
have done for pay or not for pa.y and
works to translate that into something an

Economics of
Health Care
by Elion Kissman
The lead story of tho Sunday, Fob. 18,
edition of the Seattle llma concerned the
growing power o( the health care
consumer in this country. According to
the report, the courts and the government
are finally acknowledging every person's
right to low cost, accessible, quality
health care. As heaJth care consumers, it
is important for us to be aware of the
economic implications of this trend.
Traditionally. intie.nts have pa.id for
their care each time they saw a
practioner. The rates are detttmined by
individual doctors and hospitals according
to the kind of treatment received and the
equipment
and time involved.
This
method of payment, known as ftt-forservice, means that many patients,
especially those who cannot afford
insurance, go to health care practioners
only when they are ill. Consequently,
regular health maintenance, i.e., checkups, nutrition, etc., is ignored. Fee-forservice also encourages doctors and
hospitals to use more complex, expensive,
and therefore profitable technologies and
treatments. Here too, simple preventative
medicine is a low priority.
Hospitals and doctors are not the only
ones who profit from the saJe of complex
technologies. The makers and sellers of
sophisticated medical gadgets and drugs
also fo,ter spiraling medical costs. Durins
the first few yea.rs of a new medical
system's life, several small companies will
produce and marktt it, while larger
corporations wait to see how successful it
is. Once the- system has been accepted by
the medical community, and sales begin
to rise, the larger corporations will step
in, buy out the small ones, and begin
marketing the equipment. Eventually sales
level off; the corporations expand in
other directions.
If a hospital buys or rents an expensive
piece of equipment, the patient ultinutely
coven the cost. Often. a hospital will buy
a gadget that it finds it· cannot use u
extensively as it would like. In order to
avoid a financial lou, the cost of the
machine will pan on to the consumer,
either directly or indirectly through higher
isurance premiums.
Another problem facing tho health care
consumer is the ovuall shortage and
inappropriate distribution of hea.lth care
profeuionals. Sina, medical training talcn
so much time and money, and the
opportunity
is 10 limited, . in moat
communities the ratio between practioners
and population i1 ridiculouoly high.
Thttdore, a doctor's time ii precious; a
patient rarely sees his/her practioner for
more than a few minutes at a time. Those
who do not have money or insurance. Lick
access to even those few minutes oE a
doctor's time.
One surprising consequence of the
limited number of doctors is the drastic
rise in malpractice premiums. Insurance
companies must generate enough capi~l
from the medical community to cover tl,e
huge penalties of malpractice suits. ll
there are relatively few doctors in an area
(as is the case in the Pacific Northwest)
each one pays a larger share of the pie.
A.gain, these costs are passed on to the
consumer.
Despite
government
regulations
designed to control rising costs, US health
expenditures rose 2T/ percent between
1962 and 1975. A significant chunk of this
increase can be attributed to Medicare
and Medicaid programs. Yd most of this
money comes directly from the consumer's pocket.
Are there any alternatives to this costly
and wasteful system) In tho Puget Sound
area, those of us with money can join

fee, Group Health subscribers a.re entitled

salaries,
rather than the ptteffl.ta.ge of ~r
gross
income that private doctors take. This
system alleviates problems of fee-forservia payment.
For those of us who do not have
money, and are not currently enrolled
students, there is Public Health. Funded
by federal, state and local moniu, Public
Health is obligated to see as many
"medicaUy indigent" people as po51iblo.
Their terVices, however, are limited to
health maintenance and couNtling; they
cannot tnat illnHI or injury. Among
other things, they bring health scrttning

immunization,
for both children and
adults, at th• clinic downtown. Through
the Family Planning program, women can
get low cost pap 1mean, preg,,ancy tests,

Money for diagnosil and treatment for
people who are eligU,le is· available
through Welfare and Medicaid. Federal
funding for emergency treatment

There are many things a

unaware.
"When you are on public

call a plumber at $14 an hour."
Searching for high-paying work that is
meaningful and enjoyable is not easy.

said Grace Maribona,
Job CounselorDeveloper
for Evergreen Villages. "It
takes a lot of prompting and prodding" to
help people begin to outline a plan for
themselves and make decisions added
Deanna.
WOW, however, will help, but not
make, these decisiona for the women they
counsel. "That's why she is where she is
now, because someone else has always
taken the ruponsibility,"
concluded
Debora. A woman decides how she will
proceed in preparing for and getting a job
on the basis of her priorities. "One key,"
Deanna insists, "is deciding what her
priorities are."

of nontraditional courses emphasizing science
math, and shop is necessary if women are
to have a choice between traditional and
non-traditional jobs and avoid the crisis
of being unprepared for work because
they lack necessary skills. 'They will have
to work
sometime,"
said Deanna.
'Women outlive men by at least 8 years;
there is divorce, death. Work is a fact of
life."
By presenting the choice of alternative
work options high school carttr counselors could aid women in preparing for
profitable non-traditional work. However,
high school career counselors generally
aren't aware of the problems
facing
women in search of high paying job
alternatives.
"Kids come out of high
school asking what an apprenticeship is,"
said Deanna, "but it's getting better."
Most high schools prov!de a federal
Diversified Occupation program (DO) or
a local variation of the DO program for
students interested in a four-year degree.
But, Deanna
explained,
most DO
programs continue to reinforce traditional
work, overburdening the job market by
sending, for instance, six more cosmotologists into a local market where there
is not enough business to support those
already there.
There are exceptions.
Some high
schools
sponsor
DO programs
that
introduce
students
to differenct

possibilities. Students in these programs
are visiting different work places and
learning what the daily work entails.
There are Job Fairs bringing in employers
from all over to answer questions students
have about various occupations. "But,"
said Deanna, "girls aren't going to ask
questions about non-traditional work if
they aren't aware that they can do that
kind of work."
Aside from lack of preparation,
a
woman's job search is also hindered by
childcare expenses, lack of equipment and
employer attitudes. WOW in some cases
can help wirh the ex~nses of getting a
job. The Work Incentive program (WIN)
helps by encouraging employers to hire

Due to this excess supply, demand for
dollars has consequently
plummetted,
which has led to dollar devaluation.
Foreign investors and governments now
holding dollars are caught on the "horns
of dilemma"; to hold onto tho dollars
means losing money: but trading for
stronger currencies could further undermine the dollar and with it the world's
financial stability. "The situation borden

summed up Sweezy. "A
selling wave is now a permanent part of
the scene ... nothing can be done about
it."
The other side of the devaluation coin
is domestic inflation. Orthodox economic
theory tells us that devaluation
is a
sel.£.-correcting process; imports become
more
expensive
and
subsequently
decrease, while exports increase as they
fall in price. This way, the economy will
always move towards equilibrium.
History, however, does not bear this
out. Many imports are essential, and are
purchased in spite: of increased prices,
while foreigners buy cheap U.S. goods,
creating a limited domestic supply and
higher prices. This cumulative process
worsens
inflation,
and causes the
economy
to move away from, not
toward, equilibrium.

concerning
the kind of
contract they'd like to have.
Once th• bill puses, it is up to th•
faculty to decide whether they want a
collective bargaining agent. Tom Rainey,
this year's local prt:Sident, is not sure
what the faculty's decision will be. Some
Iacuity m,mbers apparently lttl that the
presence of the union as official
bargaining agent will exacerbate tensions
between the faculty and the administration. Rainey fttls that the union will ease
those tensions by providing
clear
guidelines concerning working conditions
within the framework of a contract.
Rainey SttS the union's major function
as protecting faculty rights and providing
a collective voice for faculty input on
policy issues, as well as those that
directly affect working conditions. The
union will also provide an institutionalized grievance procedure in which
grievances
c.in be carried

National Labor· Relations Bo.ird. As it
now stands, a faculty member with a
grievance that c.in not be settled within

has no
recourse
except costly

The
PAPER STRIKE

time in 37 years that there have been
scabs in Grays Harbor County. Local 315
members realize that only through their
newfound solidarity can they win this
battl,.
Ironically, at the same time as ITT and
other corporations are trying to destroy
AWPPW,
many are facing f,deral
anti-trust
suits and civil litigation
concerning illegal price-fixing practices.
Rather than going to court to contett
these charges, most corporations
are
settling out of court for phenomenal
penalties. For example, Weyerhaueser
recently paid a settlement of $41 million
to "avoid
uncertainties
inherent
in
protracted anti•lrust litigation."
Despite these settlements
and the
continuing strike, 1978 was a highly
profitable year for the paper industry.
The industry's refusal to bargain in good
faith can only be ascribed to their dnire
to break the union.
Recycling
by Peter Olson
It may be news to many of you that
th•re is indeed a recycling program here
at Evergrttnl Although it is cent•red at
the dorm area, we encourage each and
every member of the campus and
community
to make full use of the
program. Bring us your cans, your glass,
and your huddled messesl W• hand!•
returnable beer bottles, aluminum and
bi-metal cans, all glass, newspapers, .and
cardboard, as well as egg CMtons, paper
bags, and good jars with lids which w•

a place for your compost.
The importance
of recycling and
conserving our planet's resources cannot
be overemphasized. There is no excuse for
the di.c;gustingdegrtt of neglect and waste
this country demonstrates. Recycling is
one way to take responsibility
for
maintaining
and striving toward a
healthier environment and lifestyle.·
The Evergreen recycling program.
which started five years ago, has greatly
improved over the past year. This is
largely due to the assignment of work
study funds for student organizers. Three
people presently share this responsibility.
They are, Wendy Van Roojen (866-5111),
Jim Haykin (866-5159). and Peter Olson
(866-WOOF), who will gladly answer
questions, hear criticism, and receive
volunteer help.
If you live on c.ampus. there is a
recycling closet on your floor {or in the
laundry room for mod dwellers). For the
rest, there is a dandy set-up in the dorm
courtyard at the b=tse of A building (the
tall on,) by th• loading dock. You can
even drive right up.

• COMPOST: very important: there
are big green plastic garbage cans at the
base of each dorm building for compost,
which should include all of your food
scraps except bones and meat. This
compost goes to Evergreen's Organic
Farm, a wonderful place.
The profits from the recycling program
(a few hundred dollan a year) have in the
past been given to environmental groups,
although the money could also help
improve the recycling program itself. The
recycling organiz.ations we work with are
Central Recycling and Continental Can
(both in Olympia), and Tacoma Recycling.
Again, I stress the importance
of
recognizing our responsibility for the way
we use or abuse our planet's resources.
We as a community have an excellent
opportunity to assume and demonstrate
this responsibility.

Taxes
by
Joe Dear
Washington's
state and local revenue
system is unfair and inadequate. Washington's
state and local government
depend on three regressive taxes for
nearly 90 percent of their tax revenues:
the sales tax, the property tax and a
gross receipts tax on businesses and
occupations.
The system's fairness and
capacity to raise revenue are severely
impaired by the presence of numerous
tax preferences:
preferential
rates,
exemptions
and deferrals. In part as
consequence
of a 1933 State Supreme
Court ruling, the state does not levy
personal or corporate income tax. There
is no tax which offsets the regressivity of
the major revenue producers. Moreover,
continued
upward adjustments
in tax
rates have been required
to keep

These nations, many suffering from severe
protein deficiencies, are forced to use their
land for luxury food for export to the
more affluent countries, leaving them
dependent on US food imports.
In turn, US farm lands are used to
grow livestock fttd, which utilizes protein
ten times less efficiently than grain eaten
directly. Therefore, US consumers are
enabled to eat at least 10 percent more
protein than their bodies can utilize. This
waste from the conversion of livestock
feed into meat, in this country alone, is
equal to 90 percent of the world protrin
deficiency.

world
travel, charging the highest pricn that

markets will tolerate. Then, as a final
travesty, the food is tossed into the
dumpster
as soon as it looses its
chemically induced perfect appearance.
h's quite a journey for a Del Monte
pineapple to make from the Phillipines,
where it would sell for eight cents, to the
store in Olympia where it sells for 90
cents per pound, to a Safeway dumpster
where I get it for frtt.
Of course, a lot of my friends look
askance at my dumpster diet because I'm
not eating organically purr food. And my
folks would croak ii they knew that their
darling daughter
ate garbage.
But,
nationwide, this "garbage" comes to a
staggering 137 million tons annually,
costing roughly 31 million dollan, or
enough to feed 49 million people,
according to a 1974 federal study. In view
of this incredible
waste of food by
indficient Agribusiness, it Sttms insane
not to y)vage this food.
There are much better places for food
than a Safeway dumpster, but prnently
there are laws that hold grocery stores
liable for whatever happens in their
dumpsters. Therefore both Safeway and
the poli~ chase people out and the food
rots. To challenge thi• people in Seattle
have been campaigning to make food
collections up with inflation.
The unfairness of the state's tax system
was recently
highlighted
in a study
prepared for Kentucky's Revenue Department. That study indicated that Washington's
tax system
was the most
regressive in the nation. Another recent
study found that families earning SS,000
per year pay twice the percentage of their
incomes in state and local taxes that
families earning $40,000 per year pay.
The Legislature won't deal with the
issue of tax fairness this session. Instead,
it will scrutinize requests for additional
tax breaks and decide whether Washington's Proposition 13, Initiative 62, should
go to the ballot for a vote of the people.
Students can expect the inadequacy of
the state's revenue system and legislators'
reluctance to raise taxes to result in
higher tuitions. The Governor's budget
proposes a S21 million increase in higher
education tuitions.

salvaging legal. Besides negotiating with
big Seattle food stores, and delivering
food regularly to people in need, they
have been working on new legislation.
Currently,
there is a bill in the
Legislature, called the "Good Samaritan"
bill, SB 2147, which would remove that,
liability, It would also establish a food
hot line for people regarding various
sources 'Of salvaged food, such as stores
and growers.
There is also a group in Olympia that
salvages and distributes food for community food drives. Just rounding up the
food takes much time, and there is always
the matter of dealing with police who
threaten to "Close the Lid on You Till
You Rot'' and management that vehemently insist, 'We Don't Allow People in
Our Garbage."
This points to the
question, what ii~

such control over , what they consider

times during the last minute of regulation
play.

combined talents of Mark "Sky" Hansen,
Steve "Downtown" Smith, Nick "The
Pearl" Judy, Tim "The Eraser" Nogle,,

Poetry at Purdy
by Neill Kramer
Editor's note: This is a report on th
Center for Literature in Performanc ..
group's first in a series of visits '
prisons.]
Purdy Treatment Ct'nter tor Women A
women·s penitentiary. the only one in
Washington. The location 1,; 1-.olated in
the woods, near Gig Harbur and th(•
buildings are flat and spaciou~ There Ml
three-story apartment houses nght ou·
side. where prisoners get to go l<,oml'
times), before re-emeq~1ng into the rt'dl
world ••
Once inside, the lady behind thf'
window tells us to put the camer,i and
bags 1n a locker The school principal
arrives
and escorts
us across
the
courtyard, into the building. We pass the
library and tell Mr Payne that we
brought some books from Evergreens
Women's Center.
In the small classroom, four prisoners
were waiting. The four of us formed the
first row of chairs into a circle and
introduced ourselves. Jenine Williamson,
Duncan Moran, Jennifer Sidoli. and
myself. Of the women prisoners, one was
Asian-Native American, one was black,
and two were white. We talked for awhile
and then l asked them if they would like
to try a writing exercise. I explained th.at I
would write a sentence or an image, and
the next person should follow the idea
along, or branch out from it. They were
hesitant, but agreed.
As we passed the paper around they
told us about life in a penitentiary. They
said that they are not allowed to keep a
writing journal and all of their letters get
read. They cannot trust one another with
their feelings and secrets. so that all of the
prisoners have only themselves to consult
with.
At present, the women seem inquisitive
and intense.
The newness of the prison should not
deceive us from understanding
their
situation.
There is a dark cloud of
Authority looming above at all times.
When the poem came back to Jennifer,
she saw it as finished and used her line
tor the title. Then she read it.
After that we read about four poem~
each.
One of the women said she would sho"'
us her cell and we were told of the
various buildings on the way. Once, her
little boy came to visit and brought her
his toy hacksaw. When they found it she
was given ten days in solitary confine•
ment.
On the wall she has a color photo of an
old village, perhaps something in a dream
of hers.
I felt that all of us were someho""
attached to this woman and her life at
Purdy. She told us that we filled rn an
expanding gap, and we knew what she
meant.
On the way toward her blockade. three
women passed and gave us strange, but
happy looks. One of them asked our
friend if we were her visitors Our fnend
tells her that WE'are from Evergreen and
just gave a poetry presentation
The
woman asked. ..Do you read love
poems?"
"Of course we do!
Here is the one that we all wrote
As

me
rolling I tum to the south
and gaze at the beastc;
beyond
yearning for the Journey to
warmth
wondering where real freedom lies
as I lounge contentedly walling
for my mate
Hoping that one day the ammi!ll in
me will not stir, but always be in me.
