~tany political and religious groups are

A Defense Department study outlines

around $7 million (accounts vary) is
wpplemented with an additional $2.8
million, to upgrade the SSS without the
draft. President Carter has requested an
appropriation of $1,7 million for this
purpose. Carter's requested supplemental
funding would go to expanding the SSS's

The Evergreen State College

~!!!~Cause Controversy
The process of allocating this year's
services and activities funds continues. At
the May 2 Services and Activities Fee
Review Board (S&tA) meeting, student
and former S&:A Coordinator
Steve
Francis lodged a complaint against the
process the Board has used to develop
target funding ·levels for the five
categories of student groups and services.
Steve thinks that the Human Rights
category should not be made to bear such
a large percentage of this year's budget
cuts.
At the S&tA meeting yesterday, May 9,
the Human Rights groups presented a
petition stating the same complaint, "In
our reviewing the break-down of the
budget for the 1979-80 school year, we
find the percentage alloted to the Human
Rights groups totally unacceptable."
Steve's major point was that, in not
following historical precedent in setting
target funding levels, the Board is biasing
the allocations proass before it begins. In
the past,
percentages
have
been
determined by the pre,·ious year's levels.
Therefore budget cuts and the effects of
inflation were distributed evenly among
the live catqories at least in the target
percentaga.

However, thjs year the S&r.A Board
decided t?.,.do some preliminary prioritizing. The target percentages of four of
the five categorirs were lowerrd, Cultural
and Human Rights
t k'
h
l
_groups a mg t e
argest cuts. Operations,
which keeps
CAB and. the Recreation Center open, has
not received the same treatment:
Its
target percentage is up from 64 percent
last year to 70 percent this year. Human
Rights groups (Gay Resource Center.
Men's and Women's Centers, MECHA
Third World Women, and others) go;
• b ud get cut Irom seven to four
their
percent _of the available funds. In dollars,
the cut is from 522,000 to 511,000.
.'We find this appalling," the Human
Rights groups' petition states. "Ten
Hum~ Rish~ groups can in no way
function
with quality
and be of
significance with that amount of revenue.
The Evergrttn State Collqe S&tA Board
displays a frightening attitude towards
Human Rights."

The Board's decision to raise the target
pen:mtage of Operations, and to lower
that of Human Rights and the other
categories, was not arbitrary_ A seven
percent• rate of inflation, and an overall
thirteen percent budget cut, make il

unreasonable for Operations to offer the
sam~ services given the same percentage it
received last year. (For example, in
yester~y·~ mttting, a substantial cut in
Operations budget was made by eliminating eight locker room attendant positions.)
Response to the Human Rights groups
from the Board was courteous. Voices
were not raised while representatives from
the Third World Coalition, EPIC. the
GRC. and others .were speaking, or while
the Board members responded.
The
content of_ the discussion, however, was
confrontat1ve.

their case.to the media and the courts, if
they do not receive adequate funding. Just
what constitutes adequate funding was
not delineated.
Mary Isabell, Acting
Affirmative Action Officer, believes the
groups have a case, and is researching it.
Board member Mike Henry proposed
that the target percentages be disregarded
in the remaining allocations process; after
a brift diSCU5Sion,the Board consensed to
this. Consensus was also reached on an
amendment, proposed by faculty "'P~
sentative Rainer Hasenstab, that rfforts be
made to cut other catego,ries in order to
provide more support for the Human
Rights groups.
The agenda for yesterday's mttting was
to make preliminary, bottom-line cuts in
th• indwidual groups' propoeala from the
Operations, Recreation/Sports, and Cultural categories.
The process went
smoothly through the first two, Opera-

May 10, 1979
tions shaving off $21,000 from their
original proposal of $226,000, and
Recreation/Sports dropping from $5000 to
$1500. If these categories receive the
allotments made yrsterday, they will be
able to function adequately.
The Cultural
category,
which is
composed of the Center for Literature in
Performance, Folkways, Supplemental
Events, and Friday Nile Films, suffered
some drastic preliminary cuts. The first
two submitted rather ambitious proposals
(!he Center wanted to publish a monthly
luerary supplement)
amounting
to
$13,000. The preliminary cuts for the
Center and Folkways wipe out their
itemized budgets altogether, leaving a
fund of $1500 which they will share.
Friday Nite Films got nothing (which is
what it asked for). Supplemental Events,
which provides seed money for events,
got its lull $500.
At 3: 30 the agenda was completed. Bill
Hucks, S&:A Coordiator,
called an
executive session, during which the,
members discussed the day's proceedings.
This was apparently a violation of the
Open Meetings Act, as well as the
Covenant on Governance (COC) and the
Social Contract.
Next Wednesday, May 16, the S&tA
Board will meet to review the budget
proposals from the Human Rights and
Service categories, in CAB 110 at 9 a.m.
Final decisions will be made the following
week, on Wednesday, May 23. These
mtttings are open, and anyone interested
is encouraged to attend.

Arts Festival
An Arts Festival, to "b:ing the arts
together," will feature works by Evergreen
and non-Evergreen artists in painting.
ceramics, dance, mime, music, and
photography. The festival will take place
on May 5 and 6, in the Sports Pavilion
adjacent to the mods.
The event was conceived in January, by
Evergrttn art student, Rick lewis. He felt
there is a general devil-may-care attitude
towards the arts at Evergrttn. Lewis
thinks that, exce t for occasional, isolated
shows, a communications
gap exists
between artists and other folks at
Evergreen.
Lewis says the festival is "gear-Ni for
participation and creativity." He hopes to
create an inspirational environment where
artists and viewers can interact with one
another and onlookers are encouraged to
create for themselves. He says material
and space will be provided for that
purpose.
For further information, contact Rick
Lewi• at Ash 149.

TESC To Offer
B.S.. Degree
by Walter Carpenter

------.,.,,..a,·

ext year, Evergreen students whma)or area of study is mathematics
and/or natural ICiencesmay be able to
petition for a Bachelor of Science degrft
rather than receive a B.A. clqree. At ;
meeting on May 9, faculty members
unanimously
pused a B.S. degree
proposa). All that mnains now l1 final
approval by the Board of Trustees.
Instituting a B.S. degrft is one of the
re<:ommendatlons made by the Council
for Poat-Secondary Education (CPE)
report In response to complaints from
put and J)lftent Evergreen students. A
B.S. degrft is a more 1pedaliud degrft
than the Bachelor of Art1. BecauH
m,ployen and graduate schools often
require B.S. degrfts, Evef31ft11 students
feel they need one to compete well with
other applicants.
Provost Byron Youtz, in response to
the CPE recommendations,
formed a

faculty

study

aroup

to explore

the

~tins- of offi,ririg a 8.5. degrie al
Evef31ft11. Youtz assigned faculty mm,hers Rudy Martin, Kay V. Ladd and

Larry Eickadaht to the group. Rudy
Martin p,...nted the proposal to the
faculty at a May 2 mttting.
To receive a 8.5. degrft, students, in
addition to meeting B.A. degJft atandanls, would be required to complete 72
hours (equivalent
to 18 units) in
mathematics and/or natural ociences. At
least 48 of these must be in one of the
advanced ·1pecialty areu, Scientific
Knowledge and Inquiry, Environmental
Studies, Human Development and Health
or Marine Sctencesand Crafts.
'
The B.S. degrft is optional. Students in
the 1pedalty areas may ch~
to petition
for either a B.S. or a B.A. degrft. The
Administrative detalla have yet to be
worbd out, but it ....,.. likely that TESC
wUI ollu a Bachelor of Science degrft
next year.

A bill that would require a six month
moratorium on new construction permits
for nuclear power plants cleared the
House Interior
and Insular Affairs
C_ommittee vesterday morning. The committee, chaired by Rep. Morris Udall•
(D-Ariz) . approved the NRC Authorization b1ll (H.R.2608)with amendments on a
23 to 7 vote. The bill must now pass the
House Rules Committee before reaching
the House floor.
One of the amendments passed con•
ctms the transportation of nuclear wastes.
This clause requires that state officials be
notified by the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory
Commission) prior to transport of wastes
thro~
their state, The•tatr of Iowa w.a.s
totalf unaware that wastes from the
Three Mile Island plant were being shippe

Three Mile Island plant were being
shipped through their state, until after last
month's disaster.
Rep. Weaver of Oregon sponsored
another
amendment
passed by the
committee. This amendment requires that
a state have an NRC-approved evacuation
plan btfore a nuclear power plant in that
state is granted an operating licenae. The
plan must be effective for the whole state;
local plans do not qualify.
Weaver is sponsoring
an array of
measures in the Howe, aimed mainly at
incrruing CONffVation efforts. One such
measure
is an amendment
to the
Department of Ene'IY Authorization bill
(H.R.3000) that would dn-elop a comp~
hensive energy conservation plan and st~
up research and development of renewable sources, 1peclfically for the Bonne-

ville Power Administration (BPA).
Another conservation
effort, the
Weaver bill. is still being written. This bill
will call for the closing of WPPSS
Another conservation
eHort, the
Weaver bill, is still being written. This bill
will call for the closing of WPPSS nuclear
power plants Four and Five, and a
construction halt for three other plants,
until an investigation of the Three Mile
Island incident is completed. The $3 to 4
billion savnf on construction of plants
Four and Five would be committed to a
conservation
and renewable resources
program.
. w.av-:a-many-prc;mg.ed
strategy
provides a viable alternative to Sen. Henry
Jackson's Pacific Norhtwest Power bill
(S.885); Weaver hope, to introduce his
bill in the House befo..., Jackson's bill
comes to a vote in the Senate. The Pacific
Northwest Power bill would elimin.ite the
current poHcy of giving public power
utilities priority in obtainins hydroelectric
power from the BPA. Public utilities in
Washington now supply electricity at
about one founh the cost of private
companies' enugy.

1 do not understand the giving tours of
the Evergreen campus, since we have little
of historic or artistic interest, except in
th• gall•ries. which could be publicized
separately from the rest of ~he colle_ge
where we need students, not viewers. Im
sure there are a lot of proud property
owners in the state of Washington that
would love to come here and ta~ their
clothes off; we could at least charge
admission.
Perhaps if a little more attention was
given to housing by the college instead of
vice-versa, we might be able to attract
some of those elusive students.

I was surpnsed to note that, according
to you most recent issu~·s staff box, Ben
Alexander has lett the collective. I was
wondering if this is permanent, or if
youexp«t him to be helping with future
issues? Please keep me posted.

Truth and
Consequence
To the Editors:

l was glad to Stt your coverage of the
S&r:A•..pie-slicing" mttting in yoUr la.st
edit1on. As the budget allocation process
takes place, I think it is important that all
students are aware of what's happening,
and how money they've put into 'the
system is being spent. I only ask that you
attempt to give an accurate report of the
meetings, as this is a highly sensitive
issue, and an error in the articles you
write coukl lead to unnecessary conflicts.
In that regard, I would like to make
one correction.
You stated that the
Human Rights category was cut from 7
percent to 4 percent of the total budget
due to "low student support for human
rights. based on results of last month's
mail survey." Yes, Human Rights was cut
back to 4 percent of the total budget, but
it was not because of the survey results.
. Rather, due to inflation
and rising
eltetricity costs, it was expected that the
Operations budget was going to need a 7
percent increase in the total budget. We
ended up giving it only a 6 percent
mcrea~ because of the obvious strains it
was going to place on the other groups.
As a result of this raise, there obviously
had to be cutS in other areas. Of the four
remaining groups, Recreational Arts and
Cultural accounted for a total of 1.7
perce-nt of the total budget. Thfy were
each cut back to 0.5 percent.
This left Human Rights and Serv1c".
This 1s the only point where the
que-st1onna1re might have come mto play,
tnr the Services had one of the strongest
,;,h0w1ngs (Services includes the Bus
~v~lem. KAOS CPJ Women's Health

Photo0raph by Linda ltfrlg

was cut 3 percent, and Services wu cut 2
perc;ent to 25 percent of the total budget.
What none of these percentages weigh
is the lack of money S&A has to fund all
these groups.
In fact, we fall over
$100,000 short of the requested amount.
There is simply no way that we are
able to adequately fund all the different
groups that we have been asked to fund.
The end resu~ is a loss of vital services to
the entire college. There is no easy
solution to how much money should go
to each different group.

□ When typing

please make 1Ure your typewriter hu a

request a copy of your transcripts at some

up. This means it has to be re-typed and
will delay your transcript going out for a

□ Sina- evaluation, become part of your

that started with "this quarter was both
good and bad for me," or "t'his quartet I
really learned a lot," there'd be very few
left. Work on the premise that there's a
chance that somrone you will want to

To the Editor,,
Members of the Sports Advisory Task
Force are seeking nominations for the
college's "official" mascot.
We're really asking Evergreen students,
faculty and staff to seriously consider
what mascot they intend to represent our
future sports teams. The majority of the
committee really hopes this becomes a
ratification of the Geoduck, our unofficial
mascot since the \,.ollege opened. But we
feel now is the time-before we actually
field any teams-for
the college to
officially declare its mascot preference.
Nominations for the college symbol
may be delivered to CRC 302. through
Friday. May 18. The following Monday.
the Sports group will narrow the
suggestions down to five or six finalists
whose names will appear on a ballot in
the M.iy 24 issue of the Cooper Point
Journal. Ballots will be due in CRC 302
no bier than Wednesday, May JO. ,o the

Evergrttn and the University of Puget
Sound will co-sponsor a teacher certification (TC) program h•re beginning in
fall 1979. The program is contracted for
two years with the agrttment to continue
if successful.
Third and fourth y•ar students will be
able to obtain a provisional teaching
certificate from UPS, for either elementary or secondary level education, after
successfully completing the sequence.
The full program, consisting of two
half-time components, lasts four quarters
for secondary certification and five for
elementary.
The educ.ition
component
will be
taught by UPS faculty and comprises th•
minimum requirements
necessary for
certification.
The second component
consists of one subject area specialization
for secondary «rtification .ind two for
elementary. Students will enroll in regular
TESC academic programs to fulfill this
requirement. The subject area specializations are equivalent to an academic major
or two minors. An Evergreen B.A. degrtt
will be awarded upon completion of the

two components.
If a student enrolls in both components,
quarter hours may exceed the m.iximum
sixtttn quarter hour rule. In respollH' to
this, faculty
voted
to extend
the
maximum to eightttn quarter hours for
TC students.
A committee of twelve to fourteen
TESC faculty
will b• chos•n
by
Evergreen's Academic Dean to represent
the various subject areas taught in public
schools. Thfaculty will act as subject
area advisors, evaluating and approving
the students' satisfactory completion of
the subject area.
In addition, continuing certification
courses will be offered for teachers
desiring to complet• needed crodits for
certification. These courses will be taught
in the evening and on weekends.
Space- in the TC program is limited,
with only half the openings reserved for
non-Evergrttners. A description of tasks
for teacher certification underscores the
competitive application process - ,only
the "best students" with the academic
background, disciplinary competence and
commitment
to the program will be
admitted.
The contract with UPS provides for
enrollment up to 30 students in 1979-80,
and 60 in 1980-81. Further information on
the TC program will be available at the
Academic Fair on Wednesday, May 16.
Interviews will take place between then
and Jun• 1.

Political Perspectives

hafted
by St•v•n Doyl•
Consistent with the current rise of
the "new right" and conservatism in
general, th• S6'A Board has prioritized
the '79-'80 funds .ind come up with a
target allocation for the human rights
groups that will leave the signs on the
door,. and that·s about all.
The total amount of money to be
split among ten human rights organizations is $11,000. Divided evenly that
amount would give all groups the
choice of either a staff person to
answer lhe phone or the phone,
typewriter, and some printing. That
staff position is just as important as
anything else in these budgets. How
many students
with a full-time
academic load and a job can a.Hord to
devote themselves to volunteer work?
How many minority students can
afford to attend college without also
working?
The S&:A board slates that Operations must come f1rs1. They base their
position,
in part,
on a highly
questionable survey which less than a
third of the student body bothered to
fill out. In defending the survey's
structures, one ot the authors used the
term "methodological
innovation."
bureaucralese for "I made it up.''
In response to the situation. the
human rights groups have issued a
statement to the S&r:ABoard. The last
paragraph reads: "As a joint body, we
submit this appeal to reason and for
human rights. Human rights groups

have agreed to refuse participation m
this mockery of Human Rights. We are
requesting more funds be set aside
for human rights and that human
rights be placed higher on the list of
priorities
at The Evergreen Stale
College:·
If the allocations are not changed.
the human rights groups at TESC
would cease to function. The rationale
for such a move may not be obvious.
The college may want just the show of
human rights without the substance. If
so, that end will have to be achieved
without the cooperation of minority
students.
It will certainly
not be
positive public relations for the college
if this happens. If minority student<.

may even be

TRUSTEES MEET
by Ken Dennota
A strongly worded battle erupted at the
April 26 Board of TrustttS meeting over
the matter of release time for Evergreen
l'mployees.
·Board member, Herbert D. Hadley,
strongly opposed a proposal to increase
the number of work hours Evergreen
employees may use to take classes here.
"If in the private sector, someone asked
me (if they could! take off four hour.;, I'd
just say ·you're fired.' I know that's old
fashioned. Why shouldn't we try to
operate as a business7:"
Vice President Dean Clabaugh explained that the reason for the proposal
was to preclude possible abu~ in the
system, such as workers taking whole
days off to attend classes. The Board then
tabled the proposal until the next meeting.
Faculty member Eickstaedt reported to
tht> Board on improvements being made
in the academic advising system. ~nning in the fall, students will be
interviewed by a faculty member who has
been specially trained in advising. The
purposes of the interviews are 1) to assess
whiit the student knows .ibout Evergrttn,
and resources in the community, 2) to
administer a new student questionnaire
which would ask the student why s/he
enrolled in Evergrl!en, providing ~
data for rKTUiting new students, and 3) to
evaluate basic skills so that the advisor
may better I advi,e
the student in
academic choiCft, and 4) to introduce the
student to the advising program. Larry
mentioned that students at the Symposium responded favorably to this system.
Duke Kuehn. Speci•I Assisw,t to the
President. reported that Hill Knowlton
had bttn chosen as Evergrttn's adVfftit..
ing •~nt bec•u"' they realize that student
and faculty support is necessary for
marketing. Another attractive fuh.lff of
the p.ickage was their plan to sub<ontract
with Evergrttn for much of the work. For
example. up to $3,000 of the $12,000
consultants ftts could be paid b•ck to the
college £or various jobs TESC is equipped
to handle, such as printing.
The firm plans to make its mu!tmng
very specified. S•id Duke, ''They may
mail information on antique refinishing to

segments whm, (interested! people are
liable to be." Duke also said that new
mailings have been developed for prospective students to make matriculation as
easy as possible.
They have also
developed a new pad.age of information
designed especially for state workers. The
goal is to increase enrollment in that area
by 120 half.time students. Evergrttn will
also be expanding its half- and full-time
program offerings in order to attract more
Thurston County residents.
President Dan Evans suggested lhe
establishment of an advance deposit so
TESC can know in advance how many
students will actually be enrolled.
The Board of Trustees approved a new

faculty .. lary schedle to counterbalana,
the effect inflation is having on faculty
paychecks.
The new arrangement
adds steps
between the major landings in the salary
ladder. At some .. lary levels, faculty
must wait six or seven years for the next
pay increase. The new schedule is
designed also so that faculty step increues
occur at a more regular rate. Funds for
the transition from the old to the new
schedule will be available if the l,egislatutt
approves state employee salary increases
of at le.a.stseven percent.
The Council of Presidents is supporting
a uniform faculty schedule for aU six
post-secondary educational institutions in
Washington. Sina, this proposal could be
enacted within the next two to four yean,
Provost Byron Youtz urged trust ... to
approve the new salary schedule 100n to
avoid further decneases in the faculty's
real income.

Employee Release Time
by Ken Dermota
Due to inequities in the present system,
Rita Cooper drilied an amendment to the
Evergreen Administrative
Code (EAC)
which would establish a Mease time
policy for Evergrttn's employees. Releue
time, which is granted to workers who
wish to take classes during working
hours, has been a policy of TESC, but hu
never bttn written into the EAC. Dean
Claybaugh presented Rita's proposal to
the Board of Trustees at the April 26
meeting. (See related article)
The amendment is necessary, Rita
explained, because, "Some units deny
~luse time where in others it is easy."
This inequity would be co~ed
by a
uniform policy. Release time would no
longer be granted case by case by
individual .upervisors, but by established
policy.
Rita said of the Board member Herb
Hadley's
strong
objections
to the
proposal, "(Ho) may have been plaY!!ll
devil's advocate_ But he has a right to ask
what we'tt getting for the money." The
proposal permits up to ten worlten to
tab off u much u four hours a day, and
this could iidd up, But sina raiRs are
determined
by the state and since
promotions ane limited by Evergreen'•

a non-taxable benefit to employttt.
Rita al10 pointed to the fact that many

people hen, have had aca,ss to upper-level
jobs as a direct result of their studies
under the release time program, which
Rita calls "growing our own." Most of
Evergrttn's accountants were at one time
accounting assistants who studied to
become qualified
for their current
positions.
Workers
may also embark
upon
completely new carttn
under the proposal since they may take cJa.eo that are
not n«aNrily job related. Furthermore,
if worken were not pa,nitted to take
classes unrelated to their work, they
might not be able to take IOlllt ~

Rita addrested Herb's bthtr objection:
that worken should be taking <X>WWI
outside of working time. Pretently,
Evergreen doesn't have an evening
program, and there att 20 tmployees
taking courses elsewhere. 'We don't want

Tht
proposal does state that worlcen cannot
use release time for cla1Ht that art

A$ the proposal reads, the docisioNIto
allot release times are made by the
"•ppointing authority," as the EAC labtlt
the two deans and the heads of the other
three budget areas. Each of the
"authorities" may grant two release times

will rotate each quarter. Departments
may choose other met.hods of selection.

I

by Sonya Suggs

People in this country are unfortu·
nate victims of miseducation
and•
distortion. When misinterpretations go
unquestioned, they become symbols of
neality. These symbols taint the psyche
and develop into stereotypes established along physical, neligious and
racial lines.
The overall stett<>typing of black
people began with the minstrel shows
and theatrical production., and continued with Thomas Edison's moving
pictura. It is now perpetuated through
electronics and television. Mone people
in this country watch TV than read:
10 TV is now a more powerful form of
communication than the printed word.
Statistically, if a television is present in
the home, a child of five hu obtained
88 perant of his or her knowledge
through that medium. Obviously,
television is symbolic of reality to
mMY people.
As. slaws, in the nineteenth century,
blacks often accompanied theu duties
with song and dana,. Thforms ol
"acceptable entertainment" held a dual
purpose.
They served to relieve
tension, and reinforced the myth that
blacks were indeed childlike and
harmless. Such belitf1 wen! widely
held then, and they art now. Black
actors are most libly to bt _,, on
television in situation comedies. Al'though blacb do occasionally ._,.

Uneven historical accounts have
further limited the range of black role
models. Lack of knowledge about
black participation in such areas u
government, science and eduation has
denied the possibility of these alternatives to many blacks. This mulls in a
loss to all people, not just blacks.
Ralher than miseducate people, why
not educate
them7 Rather
than
speaking for others, why not let them
step forward and speak for themselvesl
Rather than perpetuate stereotypes,
why not abolish them7 Immediate
ansers to these questions are obviously
not forthcoming. One thing is for sun,
though:
as long as all decisions
re.lating to television programming and
broadcast management are made by
those who are responsible to a se.lect
few, we all remain victims of a
stereotyped r,ality.

Evergreen Environments attrition rate has

been well below the TESC average.

by Lenny Brennan
The Evergreen Environments program
(E squared for short) dates back to
TESC's first academic year. Now com-

pleting its sixth incarnation, Evergreen
Environments is considered by many one
of the most successful programs at TESC.
Over the past eight years, Evergreen
Environments, like most biological organ-

isms, has adapted to change. The concept
of a field tradition in biological work was
first introduced by faculty members, Al
Wiedemann and Steve Herman, during E
squared's second year. The field journal.
now such an important
part of the
program work, was largely an optional
project. Program money was more easily
obtained during Evergreen's early years,
so Evergreen Environments II took a
five-week Southwest field trip.
In Evergreen Environment's fourth year,
technical scientific papers were the
culminating project. But with the advent
of Evergreen Environments V, the focus
shifted from a purely quantitive to a
qualitive approach. Maintenance of a
highly organized
field journal
was
mandatory for all students. Extensive
notes of field observations were to be
transcribed on "on side of the page only"

primary locus of the program. Steff

A brief, informal survey of the likes
and dislikes of present Evergreen Environments st:.idents indicated the majority
liked, thrived. in fact, on the structure of
the program. Subject material, emphasis
on fieldwork and academic rigor are other
common denominators
shared by the
students.
We are not without our problems.
Faculty evaluation, criticism and feedback
has been at a minimum. When asked
about this problem,
Al Wiedemann
agreed that all three faculty
were
moderately
guilty of not providing
enough criticism and input regarding
students' progress.
Heavy workloads and rigid academic
structure, both of which are necessary for
a solid scientific foundation, have a ha.rd
effect on all students. Fortunately, the
majority of us realize that a solid
background in any area, scientific or
otherwise, cannot be obtained without a
certain amount of pain and exasperation.
The old adage, "not knowing what
pleasure is until you have experienttd
pain," seems appropriate. Epic voyagn
into the realm of academia are not
without their storms.
An interctisciplinary approach is inherent to the academic punuit of natural
history. Thus, natural history is an
appropriate
science for a liberal arts
school. Subject matter, predictability,
faculty cooperation
and organization,
coupled with avid studen1 inlerest and a
willingness to accepl the rigon of hard

isn't a reason to buy chic mineral water.
While asbestos fibers cause respiratory
cancer, their effects in the gastrointestinal
tract are unknown. Nevertheless, water
departments
are concerned about the
potential hazards from asbestos in water.
Aftrr the .-disc-QY.Uy
of asbestos in -the
Seattle water supply
(replete with
sensational headlines) the Seattle Water
Department began studies on means of
tillering asbestos out of their water
supply.
Last winter, two Evergreen students,
Mark Ke1a ana myseu, oegan scuoyin~
the occurrence of asbestos in geologic
material in the South Fork Tolt River
basin, one of Seattle's water sources. The
other source, the Cedar River, does not
contain detktable asbestos.
The Tolt Basin study gr~
out of
brainstorming seasions betwttn Evergreen
taculty member Jim Mroh,' Mark Keid and

of Winter Quarter working on analytical
techniques we would likely encounter.
Asbestos contamination i.s a relatively
recent area of study. Previously, natural
asbestos
has been studied
from a
commercial, rather than environmental
poinl of view. Asbestos which may
con amffiaTe water supplies cfoes not
necessarily occur in the obvious. minable
forms, which makes its analysis more
difficult For example. our major problem
in the Tolt Basin study is that a small
percentage of asbestos in geological
material is significant,
and must be
detected for the study to succeed. The
asbestos may also be found in glacial
matenai, wnicn does not lend itself to
quick and easy.. analysis. The compl6ity
of analyzing asbestos in water samples
made it unfeasible for this study.
We still don't know the exact source of
asbestos within the T olt Basin. We are
hunting with rock saws, grinders,

the S.allle Water Department. With inpul

that many aspects of

Edward O. Wilson, the discipline is "a

substantiate them.
The Human Condition's objective, as
stated in the catalog, is to "develop a

theory, critically examining the implications for human values and social

Students must address
questions like: Does sociobiology provide
an adequate explanation of the origin of

biological basis of human behavior.
They have also road and ditc.....d a wide
variety of philosophy,
hl11ory and
poycholoSY, They have examined "tho
interplay between oocifty and natural
science" in order 10 help clarify the role of
science in the formation
of cultural
values.
The dynamic between science and
society is the crucial issue in the

sociobiology debate. Political critics of
sociobiology say those involved in the
field have crossed the fine line between
thoughtful
scientific speculation
and.
unconsidered guessing. They contend that
popular application of sociobiological
theories could result in a new ideological
"scientific" justification of racist and sexist
social norms. Since much of the work of
sociobiologists can not be either verified
or refuted by present experimental
methods, acceptance
or rejection of
sociobiology as an accurate explanation of
behavior
must proceed slowly and

carefully.
The students in Tae Human Condition
have been wrestling· w·ith these and other
issues all year. The results of their work
will be presented at a symposium on May
29. Time and place will be announced.

One indication of growing :-eceptiveness towards alternatives to nuclear
power was the diversity of ages and
lifestyles
among
area
residents
attending the fair. 'This is a turning
point for all of us in Grays Harbor,"
said one staHer. "It's gotten to the
point where the nuclear industry is
admitting there are major problems
with nuclear power. Now they're
saying that in spite of those problems,
nuclear energy is the only option we've
got. We have to show people that's not
true. We have to show what those
other options are. I don't think WPPSS
was expecting the response we got
from local people here I think it
definitely shook them."
WPPSS was at the fair, cleverly
disquised as Grays Harbor PUD.

Stan Klyn's program, The Etruocans, is
p~ntly
studying in Italy. The Etruscans,
were a pre-Roman civilization which lived
in norther
and central
Italy. The
Etruscans ~tablished a civilization simil.u
to the ancient Greeks and reigned some
500 years before their conquest by the
Romans.
Klyn's two quarter program spent
winter at Evergreen examining the
Etruscans and their influence upon
Mediterranean
culture; the group left
during Spring quarter. In Italy, they are
studying the Etruscans via artifacts left
behind, as well as visiting ruin sites and
museums there and in other com.tries
where Etruscan works are exhibited.
Evergreen
faculty member Susan
Fiksdal and her students in The &ench
Culture program left for Lyons, France,
during Spring break. The aim of the
program is an in-depth study of French
language and society. Their trip is the
climax of thrtt quarters of intensive work
in French language, history, culture,
social structures,
and methods of
documenting societies. In France, the
students are living with French farrilies.
Each student will ex.amine an aspe:t of
French culture. Studenta can also take
classes at Lyons University.

Evergreeners Overseas
by Walter Carpenter
Evergreen students wishing to study
abroad have had more opportunities this
year than ever before. Students in three
programs: The Etruscans, French Culture
and The Classical World are current!;
studying overst>as, and a fourth program,
Studies in Israel, 1s leaving for Israel in

individual contracts with anyone wishing
to focus on a particular aspect of Israeli
culture.
, The total cost of the trip is expected to
be around $1,500 including round-trip
airfare, land and touring fees, and tuition.
For further information,
contact Dr.
Gerst! at Library 1602 at 866-6702.
Openings are still available.
Students in Gordon Beck's program, the
Classical World, left for Europe on May
1. Beck and his students are studying the
art and architecture of ancient Greece and
early Rome.
Before leaving, Beck's group spent five
weeks studying classical art history. In
Europe the group is visiting sites and
museums in England, France, Germany,
Yugoslavia, Italy and Grttce. Students
are required to maintain
extensive
journals; regular 5"minan will be held at
pre-arranged locations. The trip is unique
in that it offers students a chance to
experience a variety of European lifestyles, as well as study the art, culturo,
and history of the countries they visit.

late June.

Led by Evergreen faculty member Dr.
Ted Gerst!. students of Studies in Israel
will spend eight weeks in Israel observing
the country's
people, culture,
and
language. Students will spend three weeks
touring Israel's many archeological,
historical, and religious landmarks, as
well as its three major cities, Jerusalem,
Tel Aviv, and Haifa_ After touring the
country, students will live for four wttks
on the Kibbutz Yizre'el near Naza~th.
Dr. Gerst! has visited Israel twice
before and lived once at the Kibbutz

This faculty juggling in the advanced

basic algebra). also, differmt approaches
to chemistry will prepatt 1tuden11 in
both progams for organic chemistry by
Winter Quarter. Diagnostic math and
chemistry tests will help determine which
section will best suit each student.
Though four teachers have been
assigned to INS and only one to l';l~tter
and Motion, in actuality the five teachen
will shore the rnponsibilities of tuching a
total of about 100 students. Provost
Byron Youtz may assist, part-time.
Flexibility is the key word here.
Students will be encouraged to interchange betwttn the two programs so u
to fulfill their own nttds. In rettttnce to
this year's JPS students, F~ Tabbutt
said, "I think we can tailor things better
for you next year than we have in the
past . . . we realize we've got to give
those people more attention . . . and
that's p.1rt of what Matter and Motion is
for."
Another change both from this year's
offerings and from the Supplement's
venion of next year's offerings, is in the
area of advanced programs. APS and
Introduction tO Advan«d Mathematics
have been merged into one program
named (you guessed it) Introduction to
Advanced
Physical
Science
and

The reason for this
according to Assistant Dean Rob Knapp:
is the resignation of one of the program

member of this year's INS program. "I
almost wish I could do it again next
year." However, another student was
angry that there are so few women
teaching science next year, and hopes that
question will be addressed soon.
Overall, the need for seU~motivation
was the common element expttSsed as
being basic to having your nttds truJy
satisfied. Said one student, "You've got to
think ahead, plan ahead, and know what
to expect." Another summed up, 'The

The financial problem is not the only
irony that confounds Evergreen Environments. Only a handful of studenta from
the leading environmental studies program here have anything to do with the
Environmeiital Resource Center, which ll
run largely by students of a political,

I can safely say that th, community

Grants

The

Money-Go-Round
by Jim Felton
One of the things that first intimidates
those who might want to undertake
significant p~oj~cts is the proverbial
"shallow pocket" (lack of funding). A
short conversation with Bill Zaugg at" the
TESC Business Office netted me the
following information about grant writing
and finding funds. One usually has to go
through a process similar to this to get
project money from an organization.
A group wanting funding should
develop a solid proposal, including a
timetable, budget, statement of beneficiaries, and end result. When this is done,
the group can start looking for money
from two primary sources: federal grants
and private foundations.
For federal grants, find the Federal
Catalogue of Domestic Assistance in the
TESC Library (Ref. HC 110, P63U53a).
See Malcolm or Pat at the reference d~k
for an updated bibliography on grants.
Private foundations are harder to track
down as they usually don't publish
bibliographies. Most of your leads for this
source will probably come via word-ofmouth. It might be advisable to ask the
foundations that can not help you for
suggestions of other folks who might.
One resource is the Seattle Public
Library's microfilm listing of private
funding groups. For 20 cents p,r copy,
they will give you a printout of such
groups.
Federal government will not finance
individuals; a fiscal agmt (some sort of
organization) must be responsible for
managing th, funds. Th• group must kttp
copiOI of c:heckstubs and other finandaJ
n,cordo for five yean. According to Bill
Zaugg, th, easiest way for individuals to
~ federal funding is through th, college,
in which case the College Business Office
would steward the money. The group
would haw to mm rNtrictions let by th,
colleg,, the staff would hav• to be hired
u permanent employees of the school,
and the project
must meet state
regulations. Also, it would requitt th,
approval of th, Vice Praident. th• Dean
of Aademic Budgfla. and the college' 1
8usinesaManager. The Busi,Office
has a Gnml Man1UJIthey an, willing to
shan, with internted parties on request.
They an located at Lib 1103, 866-6«6.
For private as well as most federal
soun:e, the first step alter solidifying
your ideas is to write each potential
soum,, briefly stating your idea. Ask for
their application
procedure and any
deadlinn. Most places acapt proposals
twice a year. If they respond to your
idea, you can work up a fully detailed
proposal for submission. If they don't like
it then, you've saved a lot of time and
worry. You can expect as much as nine
month lag time betwttn the acceptance of
a proposal and the beginning of flow of
funds. Good luck on your project I
who will gather, organiu ond inmpn,t
the scientific data crucial to th, arguments
of well-informed environmental activists.
In ordu...Jnr
111 (both
activi1t1 and
scientists) to be successful, we must kttp
a proper perspective on our tasks, as well
as do homework.
The Evergreen Environments program
highlights TESC at its very best. Th,
faculty consistently pretent a gn,at deal of
information and Sd rigorous ac.ademic
standards. Th ... expectations and workloads have taken a heavy toll. People
have pushed themRlves to their edga,
often affecting their p,nonal relationships
their health and general- well-being. But,
like most students in th, propam,
if
given the chana, I'd do It all over again.
When one balanca th, high coot of a
college education with the amount of
learning that IHOI place In a program like
Ever1reen Environment,,
it becomes
rudily appattnt that this program la

Rampant Apathy
conlinued from page live

The reason for Evergrttn's form of
governance is the saime as the reason for
its particular
form of liberal arts
curriculum.
Both were designed to
empower the student, as an individual
d«ision-maker and thinker, and also as
an active participant in a soci-al proass;
in a non-alternative collq:e, it might be
call~ good citizenship. The difference is
that the structure of the curriculum forcn
students to experience the Evergreen
philosophy; the structu"' of the decisionmaking system does not demand such
participation (although it needs it).
It s.ttms to me that the basic problem is
that Ebergreen's
philosophy
is more
advanced
than most people's social
consciousness. If an entire society were
structured according to Evergrttn's philo-

T!u

sophy, it would probably work. P<0pl•
would have to participate when forced
into a situation of gnater frttdom and
ruponsibility
if the society were to
function.
Evergrttn, though, is not an entire
society; it is not even a true community.
For many administrators it is merely a
job, oight hours a day, fiv• days a wook.
Olympia is their community. For students
it is a more total experience, but it is only
for four years; there is no need for a
commitment outside of one's program.
Why work for years to change something
you won't be around to benefit from7
Also, four years is a short period of
time to reverse eighteen or twenty years
of conditioning. How does one counteract
our culture's sense of disempowerment

and alieN.tion from decision-making. or
the counter--culture's instinctive view of
politics as exploitative, power-tripping
bullshitl
I'm not sUtt, but I do havo a fow idoas.
An exploration of the meaning of the
Evorgrttn philosophy could be built into
. every student's education, perhaps as a
roquired courso (that's a modulo, folks).
Coll•g• govornana =d curriculum planning structuru
could be built into
programs, where students focus most of
their eMrgy and identify their primary
interests. A yearly evaluation of the
college, similar to this year's Symposium,
could be instituted
as an academic
ffqUiretMnt, just like program self-evaluations an now. A minimum amount of
involvement in community affairs (say,
twenty hours per quarter) could be
' required for graduation.
At the very least, we must rt-eonstitute
the Evergreen Council long enough to
chargo a COG IV DTF. A new COG
might include a smaller Council, means
for student involvement in curriculum

Hollywood movies are usually ten years
behind the times. The recent spate of
Hollywood films about the Vietnam War
and its effects doos little to challenge that
theory. Actually, during World War> I
and II, and the Korean War, Hollywood
put out films specifically about those
wars, as they were happening. However,
the purpose of those films, aside from
entertainment, was to encourage patriotism. The production of anti-war films was
safo politically botwttn the wars (Milestono's 1930 AU Quiet on the Wetom
Front and Kubrick's 1957 Paths of Glory).
But the best anti-war films came from
France and Germany (Renoir'• 19376
Grando Dluslon, Pabst's 1930 Weolfront
1918, and Clement's 1952 Forbiddon
Garn.. ).
Anti-war films were popular during the
1960's. Hollywood did put out some but
none dealt specifically with Vietnam.
Although some American films concerned
the draft, youth culture, and the anti-war
movement (Alice's Ratawant, Gl'fttinp,
and Medium Cool) no American film was
even set in Vietnam, with the exception of
John Wayne's fascistic The Gl'ftft e.r.t1).
The anti-war films of a decade ago were
set in other time periods and other -..van.
Yot thoy can be regarded as symbds of
Vietnam. Even hip westerns, like Uttle
Big Man, contained blatant, but effoctiv•.
parallels to tho slaughter committed by
this country in lndo-China. Revokation
and peace meant big profits for the
producers. These films were too often
exploited by tho Hollywood moneymen,
although ,ome of these efforts were
honest statements. Rt'Volutionary films
from Europe, such as Th, Battle of
Algiers and Weekend, were popular with
colleg°e ~tudents and the "art-house"
circuit.

The film never points a finger to who
the real criminals or causes of the war
were. I'll admit that I was moved by Jon
V9ight's "climactic" s~h
in the high
school. but only because I fondly
remembered similar speeches.
The main prQblem with the Him is
structural. Ashby, in his attempts to
satisfy the middle class liberals and to
make the film as inoffensive as pos15ible,
ruins whatever drama or impact the film
could have had. He starts to get off the
ground in the sequence where Bruce Dem
is putting together his rifle, preparing for
violence. But he brings it all to a
disappointing anti-climax when an absurdly calm, Voight, and tree-like, Fonda,
talk Dem down.

11

Another problem is the use of m\JIK.
Ashby's inept and misguided use of music
also mars his other films. Although the
Chamber Brothers "Time" is dfective in
Dem's sequence, most of the other songs
are totally inappropriate. Some of the
songs weren't even released until after
1968. He makes the same mistake in
Sha.mpoo. As in Ha.rold a.nd Ma.ude, SOlne
song by a popular singer accompanies
endless shot of lovers frollicking. I could
go on, but why bother. Ashby makes
films geared for liberal audien<:es. He
takes no chances. After seeing one cJ his
films, you fttl that the film was OK. lo.t

could have been just as
profitable 10 years ago as they are now.
If films like Dr. Strangelovo, C..tch-22,
and M• A •s•H
are so popular,
why has Hollywood waited so long to
cash in on the Vietnam War1 The obvious
reason seems to be that the producers
were too conservative or still too shaky
from their bouts with the House
Un-American Activites Committee in the
'SO's. Some filmakers noted that tad<ling
the war head-on seemed an enormous,
complex, and almost impossible task.
Things always seem easier in retrospect.
In the past year, there has been at least
five major American films released about
the Vietnam War and its effects on our
society, There's more on the way. Of
these five, there's two I haven't seen, Ted
Post's Go Tell th• Spartans, and Sidney J.
Furie's The Boys in CompMty C. Since
I'm familiar with the other mundane
works of these mediocre directors, I'll
admit that I'm not too anxious to see
these films. But Spartans has received
favorable reviews. However. it only
played one week in New York when
originally released and has not been
widely seen or promoted. Maybe it has
something going for it after all. So far the
films that seem to be most important are
Coming Homo, Who11 Stop the Rain, and
The Ottrhunter.
The best thing that can be said for a
film like Hal Ashby's Coming Ho~ can
also be seen as a companion pi«e to
another Hal Ashby movie, Shampoo, a
'7CYs film that also takes place in '68.
Only Shampoo doals with Republicans
and decadence, whereas Coming Horne
deals with precisely th• opposite. The
makers of Coming Ho~ view the war as
a tragic mistake
that turned
the
all American boys, who thought they were
serving their country,
into cripples
and psychotics.

the Movie

Hair-the Movie is the latest statement
that the Sixties are over. America has
roducod the age of psychedolics and
participatory politics to a curiosity as
salablo as a Shirley Tempi• ogg cup. A
Cincinnatti power company has madt its
motto "Power to the People;" a statement
that such slogans are rnrre history.
Hair is a politically "safe" film. It
ignores tho most powerful thrust ol tho
play, which rop.-nted
the tyranny of
our modia-basod IOCiety as po, pobat,,d by
th• police, the FBI, and th• "oldor
generation." TMSO figum; won, played
metaphorically by puppets hung from
hooks on the stage walls or carried
around on stage when their prnel'lC2 was
nttded.
The tribe of the movie must run away
from a fow cops a, all good hippie do,
but their criticisms of their parent's
culture (materialism, Gtpita.lism, et al) are
givon far loss~
than in tho play.
Oaude's trip, for instance, which w. an
hallucinatory vision of Americ.ti's racist
history has boon supplanted by a farcical
(=d pharmaceutically unlikely) pseudo
Bermanesque fantasy of his marriage
ce1en1efty with-Sheila.
There is some question as to whether
Jamos Kado and Gerome Ragni adherod to
th• political vie,.. oxprossod in their play,
but they at least attompted an 1-onest
~resentation of what the love generation
was fttling. Conspicuously absent from
the movie were the politically dangerous
songs "Don't Put It Down (S..t One
,-.round),''
which trashes patnonsm;
"Air," an environmental
song; "My
Conviction," which is about the liberation
of masculine dress; and the great <.albeit
unpolitical) "Frank Mills."
Hair is a musical, and the genre dktates
that the characters will be somewhat
stylized. but in the movie they were
downright insipid. Director Milos Ferman
develops a middle-class stereotype of
what hippies were like. (They were

The tribe of tho pl;,y does not run to

Sheila so quick to follow Berger's
suggestion to jump in bed with Claude as
a last rite before his induction into the
Army. Claude's conscription
is also
handled quite differently. The movie
glosses over the play·s examination of
the difficult choices many draftees had to
make between jail Canada, or puticipation in an unjust war.

the bitter struggles that were fought.

off a patriotic Claude and the plot goes
into overtime. At Berger's promulgation,

The movie ends with crowd scenes
filmed in 1978 beneath the Washington
monument. The shots look painfully
posed, with everyone in 1978 dress,
holding signs that say "LUV"" and looking
straight into the camera while the disco
version of ''Hair'' thumps on in the
background.

there is no graphic
