A COMETIY
OF
EllllO(ilS
;
Well, with a good chunk of our
usual material already in print. with
the nightmarish task of finding writ•
ers, typists, graphics people and gen•
eral support ahead, I made a decision.
This issue was going to '>e good. It
would contain high-quality writing,
and truly helpful, not just informa•
tional, articles. It would be entertain•
ing, comprehensive. and if necessary,
controversial. It would also look great!
Then I was going to quit work on the
CP J, write a senior thesis. and graduate.
We have four days left to pull it off.
1 think we will.
With that, I'd like to welcome you
to F.vergreen, and to the pages of this
paper. I hope that in reading it you
will learn as much as I did' in putting
it together. It will certainly be much
more fun.
E.E.K.
Note
"Ellen, someone's on the phone for
you ..
"ARRGGHHH!"
''ElJen, i! I turn that article in tomorrow, will it still get in?"
"Ellen. shall I tell Chupa to mail his
stuff Express?"
"EIJen, where's Droug? Si.x advertisers have called in the last 10
minutes."
''Ellen, how do you !eel about
black borders?"
"Ellen. where's Alexia?"
How did I get into all this? Oh, yeh,
Alexis called me up before breakfast
one morning last spring. She said we
should do the Orientation issue or
else Paul Marsh and the Publications
Board would find someone else to do
it. She wouldn't let me say no. So I
said yes. So did four other members
of last year's editorial collective.
Somehow, over the course of the
summer, Alexis and I ended up with
the ball and chain of editorial responsibility. I sit at the typewriter, silently groaning, with yet another cup of
coffee steaming on my desk.
"Ellen, what should J' do about that
article on geoduck cuisine?"
"What article?"
"Well, they did slugs last year;
someone did one on geoducks this
year. Listen: geoduck sauteed in
Perrier, Geoduck and bean tortillas,
geoduck carob cake .... "
"Oh. yucko! Do we have to pr••·"
"Ellen the compugraphic is broken;
the nuts are stripped!"
Oh. shit!"
In many respt:cts, an Orientation
issue is a billion times more difficult
to produce than the normal college
weekly. Although a large portion of
the content remains constant from
year to year (restaurant and bar reviews, how to get around, etc.) one
still must tap the almost dry wells of
summer's Evergreen population for
good, updated stuff. That's really
tough.
On top of that, Enrollment Services
pu:,lished that Welcome News thingy.
Much of the material in that has tra•
ditionally gone into the CPJ orientation issue. Also, I wrote some of it
(the S&A stufO. Ironic, no? I just
didn't realize I was stabbing my own
back.

Things seemed finaUy to be under
control when I ambled across Red
Square. cowboy hat tipped back to
catch the morning sun. We'd had
more than our share of bad luck, from
the exacto knife wedged in the
typesetting machine to the en masse
resignation of the Graphics Depart·
ment (including our typesetter). But
I'd gel this bunch of typesetting done
and we'd really have an edge on the
poltergeists.
Confidently, I swung open the door
to Graphics, walked into the typesetting cell, and flicked the light switch.
Nothing happened. Unperturbed, I
reached up to turn on the overhead
lamp. It clicked meaninglessly in tbe
darkness. Fear wu clutching m7 •

Frantically, I ran into the dark room;

'' I Never Knew Bill Hucks ... ''
by Larry Stillwell
I came t.o Evergreen four ;reara ago
as a 22 year-old freshman, ecatatic t.o
find a countercultural and lntellec•
tuall;r progreaaive communlt;r, where
I could ■ eek refuge from the
decadence of America. rd come of age
with Chicago and Kent State and all
the real and had dedicated m;r■elf t.o
the humane tranaformation of oociety.
Then Nixon's reelection and the
general collap■e of the "Movement" In
1972 au1hed our hope• of an;r ■ ucceu
on a mass, political acale. Like
everyone el■e at that time, I began
the long, dull 1truggle t.o merel;r
survive the 1eventie1 and get my own
life in oome kind of decent ■hape.
Eventually I drifted to Yakima,
Washington, t.o pick apples. There I
stumbled upon a copy of the
Evergreen Handbook and Supplement. I gratefully decided rd linally
fO\lnd lh'V!>lace where I could fulfill
m~dhood
expectations of going to
college.
When I got here I heard a lot of
stories about how Evergreen had
changed since its beginning in the fall
of 1971, when a small group of poets
and beatniks and teepee-dwellers
tromped through the mud t.o attend
classes in trailers and work intimately
with free-thinking, free-wheeling professors who they both taught and
were taught by. That was before the
CAB_and Rec Building, before the
dorms, before the "No Pets Allowed"
signs, before the economic recession
and st.agflation of the mid-seventies,
before Watergate and the cultural
backlash of post-sixties America.
By the lime I came in 1975,
Evergreen was a concretely-structured, firmly established institution,
bigger and broader and already
enmeshed in the realities
of all
government-funded organizations and
bureaucracies. But TESC remained
dedic.at.ed to an "alternative"
ideal
and to some extent was st.ill living
that ideal and making it work.
Something unique still flourished
here then, but what it was. or is,
would be hard to say exactly.
Whatever it was, though, got to be
loo much for me after two years. I
ned this alternative mini-society on a
leave of absence and returned to the
working and more straight-minded
world of life in these here United
States. Rumors of changes at Ever•
green drifted to me, as I sought
simplicity, solitude, and money in the
orchards of Vermont.
The convulsions Evergreen went
through while I was away were
peculiar to Evergreen and its unique
character. They seemed to absorb
everyone here. but were irrelevant to
us in the hills of Vermont, pruning
trees in the cold, quiet winter. We,
and the larger society of which we
were a part, had our own problems
and Evergreen's seemed pretty farci•
caJ by comparison.
Nonetheless, the umbilical cord
remained unbroken; when friends got
in touch I was always eager to hear
the latest news. Evergreen had been
good to me, and I still cared about ita
condition. Friends here began to warn
me that if I didn't come back soon,
Evergreen might be just another
college or even defunct by the time I
returned. Of course, even four years
ago I'd heard rumors that Evergreen
might close and I'd read about
Senator Rasmussen wanting to turn it
int.o a .hunch. .oi the- Unlvenity of
Wa,hington, or use it for ■ tate offices.
But now Dixy Lee wa■ in the
governor's office. Our friend and
patron "Governor Dan" Evans wu
out; while he was now here at
Evergreen to defend us, we all knew
Diay was out t.o get both ua and him.
Enrollment wu down, I heard, and
the leplat.ors were getting led up
with aU that money coming In t.o pay
for education of a bunch of oulrl>fstater ■. Evergreen wu going to have
t.o change it& wa;r1, they u.id, t.o

had I heard the late1t leabian-femlnlat..,paratiat 1t.ory?
the Faith and Alternative Communities Center, and EPIC, Evergreen'•
late ■eventiea radicals. The■e groupa
were extremel;r up1et at having their
budget& cut In half. They threatened
court action and bad publicity for
Evergreen if their needa were not
met.

more. SuddenJ:r the truatee1 gave

The■e changes are the result& of
the interaction of forces greater even
than Bill Huck&himaelf. One of the■e
forces in the state leglalature.
Alarmed by the high coat of
educating a student at Evergreen,
they charged the atate'a Council for
Poot-Secondary Education (CPE) to
undertake a 1tudy of what Evergreen
could do t.o remed:r the situation.
Meanwhile enrollment wu down

Introduction of sports t.o attract more

(Direct.or of Recreation and Campus

Board of Trustee&, and a leas-thanaupportlve student body. Eatimatea of
student oppoeition t.o the idea ran
from 60 t.o 86 percant of all otudenta.
While the campus waited for the

attracted 80 to 50 students. The

CURRICULUM
PLANNINGm
by Rob Fellows
There are a number of ways to
1tudy what you want at Evergreen.
The moet popular io to wait and aee if
somebody happena to offer it. The
waiting can get tedious, though,
eapeclall1 for student■ who know
what they want. Here ■ re more
uaertive approache1 to planning your
• education at Evergreen.
The first is by inOuencing the
oubetance of the printed catalog: in
other words, by being involved in the
curriculum planning proceaa. There
are a number of different points in
the procees at which a atudent can
get involved (see chart).
laltlatlq a ..........
Tbio io the
most direct way to be sure I program
that you want to take will be offered.
It is not often done, however, because
the proce91 takes about two years
!rom start to finioh. There have been
some student initiated programs,
however, especially where studenta
find a "hole" in the curriculum during
the "trial balloon" process, or where
faculty members are left unassigned
for Spring quarter.
Generally, students who want to
initiate a program should follow a few
guidetlnes. Fint, you must have a
written proposal, a basic sketch of
what rou want to do in the program.
Guidelines and advice on writing
curricular proposals are available
from the Academic Adviaing Office.
The next thing you need is a
faculty member who is interested in
teaching your program or at least in
sponsoring it through the planning
proceos. This has been the bitch for
many students in the paat.--if nobody
wants to teach it, it will receive little

students interested in taking your
program.
If you can't find a faculty 1ponaor
there la still hope, though meager it
is. Tb~ deana might find a faculty 7ou

faculty temporarily to teacb the claao.
In these cues It's very important to

your cbances are and what she can do

be willlag to help.

best way to see things done is to p

After the Supplement is printed,
there are still ways to influence the

One way to infiuence the planning

you don't have a clear written
proposal you won't be taken as

see academic advising or your faculty

Make personal contacts. Don't be

you're supposed to do.

A strong trend toward ■ ell•
governance and majority rule became
appan,nt u the DTF progreued. Thia
wu a major departure from the idea
of COG I in which the plannen chooe
to go· with responsible and aeeeaaible
administrators in order to get things
done fut enough for Evergreen to
by Pearl Vincent
That i• the question. Is the COG
Document (Committee on Governance
Document) to continue to help turn
the wheels at Evergreen or is a weak
bit of machinery destined for replacement in favor of faculty/staff unjonization and/or student councils? COG
has been
the
guiding
student/stafUfaculty
force
for
governance
at
Evergreen since the school opened.
There are those who feel COG is a
workable system, ii those for whom it
is intended to work would only inform
themselves of its provisions and take
advantage of what it has to offer.
There are others who feel COG
demands too much individual effort
and that strong unionization is the
anwer.
Let me give you a bit of hiatory
about COG. The first document, COG
I, was written by members of the
original planning faculty and took
about four to five months from
inception to completion. You may well
aak why the planning faculty did not
wait until students had arrived to
assist
in formulating
the document
that was to set the governance
pattern for the next several years.
Four members of that planning
faculty, from a college known aa Old
Westbury. had an excellent reason;
Old Westbury students, neglecting
academic pursuits, spent two years
establishing a governance document!
That experience
prompted
the
decision to go ahead with the
document so that Evergreen would
have some sort of guideline for
governance until something else could
be established. Those original planners felt that if Evergreen was to
succeed, given its alternative nature,
it was necessary to make a choice
between emphasis on governance or
on interdisciplinary studies, and to
channel energies in only one of these
directions. Interdisciplinary studies
won out and governance was preestablished.
So, in the beginning there wu
COG, conceived in love and born in
hope and faith. The early plannen
believed that Evergreenen could and
would prefer to govern themaelves
with a document.. not of rulea. laws
and regulation&, but one of policies
based philosophical concept,. Thi,
feeling wu further 1ubotantiated b7
including another document, "The
Social Contract," u a part of the
governance system. That document

...faculty should take the reopoosi•
bility for informing the1D10lves and
their students about governance procedures and how· to become involved.
...set aside an orientation aeminar in

with governance and decialon making
while granting that students in some
areaa could care leaa: when theae
students are performing their thing in
life after Evergreen, they will thank
their inatructors for exposing them to
thla very difficult-to-handle facet of
the real world.
...those chooaing representatives to
the Evergreen Council should be moot
careful to indicate people who support
their point of view and who will
attend the meetings; no governing
body can operate in absentia.
...Council members who do not attend
meetings should be dropped at once
and alternates immediately inatalled;
in addition, any members who cannot
attend a meeting for a good reason
should be required to notify an
alternate to replace and act in that
member's place.

year's Ascent of Man seriea and

a literary

The ARC's chief function is to provide an atmoephere of community
uaing the arts u a vehicle, and to
carve channels for Evergreen artiats
and performen to present their work.
There are no special criteria for being
a part of the ARC; everyone la invited
to participate. In fact, everyone la
urged to participate. Since the ARC
is new, and does not have a regular
st.a.ff,and very few people even know
about it, we need all the help we can
get.
Information about the ARC will be
available at the CAB stands during
the ftrat week of school. At that time,
you will have an opportunity to give
us some information, too. We need to
know what kinds of events people
would like to see at Ewrgreen.
You •may have wondered, as you
lltroll Ji4st the Environmental Reaource Center on your way to SAGA,
what happen& in that 1eemingly
ehaotic offiee. Well, quite simply, the
ERC aerves u an umbrella for a
number of different environmental
groupa, providing office 1paee, a
phone and a typewriter.
.
In the put year. the ERC umbrella
baa gotten bigger and bigger. It
shelters l!"oups such u: the Green•
peace Foundation, the WilderneH
Society, Crabohell Alliance, the AJaa.
kan Coalition and Energy Northwest.
The ERC alao connects the Evergreen
community to 1uch Olympia-baaed
groups u the Nisqually Delta Aaaociation.
'
•.
The ERC has. alway• been a confua•
. ing place. What actually happens
there is not always obvious to the
caaual p.... rby. Often during the
noon rush hour, the Office will have
several people me.eting . and talking,
and several more trying. to get at the
phone. During quieter times, the ERC
is a good place to come and read or
search for and find a particular bit of
information. 0ne does not need to be
a member of any of those organizations to walk in the door and use any of
the resources there.
This is the reason why we designed
two separate areas of the office. The
side where you walk in is a lounge
with periodicala and books. The other
side is the working area.

Somewhere in the middle, sometimes at odds with both ends,
compromise was reached and in some
cases principles were sacrificed. One
item strongly backed by the majorit7
of COG m memben WU that the
Evergreen Council would approve the
composition of members of DTFs.
This stood firm until one of the laat
meetinga. Then, t'he wording was
changed to, "The Evergreen Council
will provide consultation, input and
advice to assist in formulating the
charge and in eotabliohing the
membenhip of the DTF."
To some thla tore the heart from
the entire document and according to
comments from members of the
Council, may have been the turning
point on which the Council revolved
ever more slowly. Eventually, it fell
apart altogether during the academic
year of 1978-79.
The writers of COG lll apparently
expected that deciaion makers would
operate with a copy of COG at their
right hand to insure that decisions
would be made, "only after conoulta·
tion and coordination with student.a,
faculty and 1taff who are both

It's mighty hard for the ERC or the
different groups to function without

deals with the moral responsibilities
of members of the Evergreen community, to themselves, to each other,
and to the community outside
Evergreen.
One facet of that philosophy argues
that homo sapiens (those at Evergreen) ia essentially "good" (i.e., hon•
est. fair, wise and loving.to his or her
fellow human) and that the word
"should" would be uaed throughout
the COG document, rather that the
word "must," because no Evergreener
needed to be told they "must," but
would do the right thing becauae they
"should."
How long did thia philoeophy work,
or did it work at all? I can only tell
you the word "must" was incorporated into COG Ill after conaiderable
discussion, much soul searching, and
the losa of a litUe faith on the part of
the members of the COG lll DTF.
An abstract summary of the major
changes in COG Ill stated, "It waa
decided to change the word 'should' to
'must' wherever additional enforcement seemed necessary on the theory
that, while most Evergreeners do not
need to be told 'you muat,' the change
did seem necessary for those few at
Evergreen who cannot live with the
implied morality of the word 'should.'
COG I was accepted by the Board
of Trustees, November 18, 1971. In
keeping with its self-imposed requirement for regular reappraisal, COG Il
appeared in June, 1974. Although
the COG III DTF waa charged in
February. 1976, it did not give birth
to the COG Ill document until March,
1977, a long, weary, painful, striferidden year later.
COG III is the document by which
current Evergreeners are moat affected, although under its reapprai.sal
sy1tem, COG IV will 100n be initiated.
COG Ill wu born with aeveral
other major change&, ulde from the
"1hould" to "muat" 1wlteh. The puah
for auch changea became appan,nt in
each meeting u the group groped its
way throup a base of miaundentandi ng, differences of philoaophy and
hardheadedneaa.
In the long run, many felt the
document to be too 1trong; admini>
traton, for in1tance, felt It aeverely
hampered their ability to make
deeiaion1 in their day to day
activities. Othon felt the document
wu not strong enough; one group in
a letter to the Pre.ident. felt " ...COG
m DTF -ma to ua to embody the
W01'9tfeaturea of COG n. which have
not been remedied by the m..e recent
draft of the COG m proposal."
Evergreeners
left no doubt they
conaidered the1D10lvea affected. Con•

they trudge up the circle on their way
to begin the day's activlUea or head
home at night, they know the favorite
landmark remains in place, not
sacrificed to the nebulous question of
safety. In this way was COG designed
to operate.
What happens now? A new aca•
demic year is here. Attempts are
being made to reform the Evergreen
Council and COG IV la not far off.
What can be done to inform otudenta
that there is a governing body and a

Co-op Relocates
on Westside
S&A:
by Beth Hartmann
This article l!: an overview of the
Co--op move: how and why it came
about, the process involved in finding
a building, the deciaion-malting processes, the plans for the future of the
Co-op.
The present Co-op hu been open
since March, 1977. The store space
was overcrowded within a month of
opening. Yet more and more goods
have been continually added to the
inventory by utilizing space more
efficiently. Unfortunately, there is
Little space left for shoppers.
The need for a new store has been
defined as a priority for at least a
year and a hall with sporadic efforts
LOfind a suitable location to move to.
Last January,
Lou Johns began
gathering information on a vacant
building at Bowman and Rogers on
the Westside. Soon after, in response
to the ever more critical need to do
something soon, a task force orga•
nized itself from the TESC Decentralization program to do the neces-sary fact finding and to organiu a
decision making process to get the
Co-op ready to move. They <ailed
themselves the Building Search Task
Force (BSTF).
In May the BSTF report and a
ballot went out t.o the membership.
Over 200 members voted, nearly half
of the memben who paid dues that
month. The decision was clearly t.o
pursue the Bowman and Rogers
building with a leue with option to
buy contract. Should that prove
unsuccessful. we bad approval to
pursue a purchase of the Munro and
Sons building.
Then set in a long period of negotiations and more planning. Barbara
LeForge. a realtor and Co.op member
ha.s served a.s our advisor and negoti•
at.or throughout this process, another
invaluable service. On August 9th
II0th?), at long last. a leue option
contract was signed giving the Co-op
possession of the Bowman and Rogers
building.
So, it's time to move! The needs of
the new store have been and are
being defined, refined, categorized,
organized, evaluated, delegated and
otherwise dealt with responsibly,
intelligently and expediently - not to
mention with enthusium and someImported natural fiber clothes.

times even a sense of humor. The
plan is to spend the \ next month
(approximatelf Aug. 15th to Sept.
15th) getting the new store ready.
There's tons of equipment to move
and install: office, storage, lounge,
children's and packaging spaces to
create; shelving to assemble. We'll
need bulletin boards, a bike rack,
signs, etc., etc., ad infinitum. Meanwhile, committees continue to work
on membership and mark-up systems,
staff structuring, buy laws, policy,
new member orientation, and more
and more.
Two other major ongoing projects
are financing and outreach/advertis·
ing. We will need approximately
$90,000 to carry off the entire project
from closing the deal through setting
up the store, stocking it and covering
losses until sales volume is high
enough to cover expenses and begin
repaying the debL Funding will come
from various sources, public and
private. Some will be on a loan
buia. Some will be donation and
benefit proceeds.
So what changes can you expect in
the new store? First and moot obviously, room to park your bike or car
and room to move about in the store
while you shop. There will be an
expanded inventory including more
produce, more packapd and canned
goods, some frozen foods and some
non-food items including cleaning and
cooking supplies and vitamins. Future
potential for a mercantile department
will depend on information from other
ec>,ops,available space in the store,
available investment capital and the
needs of the membenhip.
All this motion and change has

One Evergreen aaonym worthy o(
elaboration ia the above. A Disappearing Task Force is a functional problem-solving entity, compooed of administrators, I.acuity, staff, and students. Each one of these tukforces
exists solely in order to cope with an
individual issue.
DTF's disappear becaue they deal
with issues one at a time. By making
them do so, the authors of the Covo,.

Evergreen A-Z) wiaely attempted to
avoid investing unnecessary authority
in standing groups. Power corrupts,
right?
(There ia, of course, the argument
that DTF's effectively inhibit community participation in decision-making
due to their short-lived nature. It will
be ignored for now, as the entire
issue of student - if not community government at TESC deserves much
fuller consideration than can here

SURVIVING THE TESC m
C
by Ellen Kislman
How doe■ one survive the Evergreen adminiatrative maze? Well, u
far u academia is concerned, the
college lo trying to develop clear
"career pathways" -progreaaions
of
programa from buic to advanced in
defined areu-to
help studenta get
through. One could argue the advantage■ and diaadvantage■ of thia concept, but I won't.
Thia article ia addre■sed to you who
came here because you think Evergreen can offer you academic independence for credit, and the chance to
exert some control over aspecta of
college Ille outside strictly academic
concerns.
Once you get throught the new
vocabulary, (see TESC A-Z) the rest
falls into place fairly simply. The trick
to survival is common-senaical If you
don't understand
something, ask
around until you figure it out. U you
don't like something, if a particular
avenue is screwing up your life. or
offends your political sensibilities,
figure out if it can be changed, and if
so, how. II it's too firmly entrenched,
' figure a way around it.
Evergreen,
in many ways. is
comprised of paradoxes. On one hand,
Evergreen'• educational priorities Dy
in the face of many academic
traditons. Students are activel1 encourqed to develop their own ideu
and talents in a non-hierarchical,
noo-mmpetitive environment.
Deci ■ lon■ out1ide the realm of
academia (ie. 1upport oervices, budget
handling, public rel&tiono and other
maintenance ta1k.1), on the other
hand, are made in an increulngiy
traditional manner.
Policiea come
from the top down, while problema
develop from the bottom up, or the
outside in.
Essent.lally, TESC hu beeome a
state bureaucracy. It Is growing in an
ungainly f.uhion, sprouting offices,
acronyma and policies by the . acre
(juat think about the multitude of
forms 1ou filled out to get here). In
many reapecio, Evergreen'• bureaucracy lo more confuoing than moot.
This is primarily because Evergreen
Is still but a babe in the ninforeaL It
is only nine yeara old.
Also, at Evergreen'•
inception,
staff, faculty and studenh
were
adamantly oppooed to top-down decision- malting. One of the original
crew's goo.la wu to eliminate the
traditional dlvialono between the
academic and adminiatrative aJ'DII of
educational institution■. On paper,
anyway, each sector of the community
wu granted equal 'power in moet
aapecta of deciaion•makinJI (see COG
article, p. ).
In practice however, thooe divisions
have always exiated at Evergreen.
student participation in DTF'o, far
example, bu seldom amounted to
more than a token voice. Faculty and

the Academic Deans stay within the
boundaries of academic concerns. The
remainder of the power is left to the
administration.
Now, we're rather
entrenched in a quagmire of red tape,
due in large part to preuure to
conform from the community, the
preu, and the legialature.
The paradox tie■ in Evergreen'•
adherence to age-old rules of governance, and employment ol the aame old
argumenu to juotify that 1tuck.nesa.
We know that studenu are here for
only a short while, and that I.acuity
were hired to teach. That line ia
really no excuse.
The irony ties in studenu' pooition
in all of thlo. What happened to the
messages of student autonomy, coopera ti ve deciaion-making, etc.? The
whole scene is quite baffling to the
oldtimer, u well u the newcomer.
Yet another paradox: despite E;vergreen's increuing tilt toward traditional bureaucratic management and
st&f.f-laculty-student stratification, we
do have a I.air amount of real power.
Why? Well, the guarantees
of
Evergreen'• founding philosophers
have actually panned out, in certain
areas.
Within academic programa, studenta often have u much say in what
ia to happen u the faculty. Thlo does
var1 considerably, however, depending on specialty areaa, faculty and
the level of program.
Curriculum planning is another
important area in which student input
ia regarded by deciaion-maken u
~
.&68.&ULT.
lairly important. Students also have
direct control over what happens to a
si7.eable chunk of their tuition through
the S&A Board (see related article,
p. ).
In addition, Everg,-een's commitment to traditional bureaucracy ha.s
not had enough time to ge~ although
it's getting thicker all the time. What
with legial&ton, other adminiatraton,
omnipotent statistics,
the Dall1
Olyapiu, staff, faculty AND students all clamoring for attention, the
administration is under considerable
pressure to standardize, finaliz.e and
conform.
At this point.. however, administrators• doors are generally open and
almost everyone listens courteously,
although adminsitrative consider•·
tions generally outweigh those of
students.
Occasionally, a student or group o(
students will luck out: their propoeal
may correspond with some administrative priority. Presto! Results.
Sometimes student screaming, if it
hits the right frequency, can tri~ger a
response anyway (Symposium ·79 is
one example). From the student point
of view, the whole process seems
rather whimsical.
I have thia theory, see. Yes, the
cards seems stacked against us. Our
ideas and our needs ue often ignored.
but all that ia OK.
Evergreen is, perhaps. one of the
only colleges in the country where
students are legally entitled to power
in decision-making. Check out the
COG document and the Social
Contract. All that remains ia for III to
take that power, insist on our right to
representation,
come forward with
ideas and proposals, and demand to
be consult.ed on decisions that affect
our education and our lives.
Whether or not students, individually or collectiviely, succeed in thia
struggle to open the doors ualocked
in Evergreen's early days, we'll have
learned a lot about how to light in the
process.

As a result of the Food Service Design Project, the Deli will open this
fall redesigned to function better as a
deli and to offer a better selection of
loods. The cafeteria will be a more
pleasant place to eat and to hang out.
This project and similar ones in the
past two years have offered students
"' design and architecture a valuable
and rather uncommon opportunity for
"hands•on" design experience.
Ken Jacob, Director of Housing and
Food Services, instigated the project
because of complaints that the Deli
was lacking in quality and that the
cafeteria dining room was a rather
unappetizing place to be. The project
was carried out under the auspices of
Jacob and Ken Winkley, Director of
the Business Office. They both wanted
the Deli to become truly a delicatessen.
The design team consisted of architect. Jon Collier, and student architectural designers, Julian Prossor,
Peggy Reynolds and myself. A more
qualified design team would have been
hard to come by. Collier - of CAB
Phase II and Housing Design Project
(HD P) fame - for the past two years
has been involving students in varioua
design projects and sharing with them
his knowledge and love of architecture. Reynolds worked on the CAB
Redesign team with archited, Mu
Knauss, and thus knew the changes
planned !or the second noor and else·
where through the CAB. Prouor and
I did internships with Collier lhia paal
year on the HD P, redeaigning the
community kitchens and the first and
second noors of Dorm A. And I. by
virtue of many long evenings spent
working at the Deli this paat year,
knew what did and did not work
there, what people's complaint.a were
and what workers' needs were.
Our design process consiated of developing a problem, presenting our
ideas to a design review board, refining the plans according to the board's
recommendations, working with the
people at Facilities to figure out how
the electrical and plumbing work
could be done, developing working
drawinp and giving these to the peo·
pie at Maintenance who are d01_ngthe

The changes include annexing the

of a sink for proper food handling, im•

tomers, addition of a glaaa front deli
cooler ·and an espresso machine, retirement of the noiaieat, leut energy

CATERING
The design team also made several
suggestions for important additions
and changes to the Deli's line of foods.
This fall, Kristi Moorish, a nutrition·
ist, will head a team of students in tt
study of food needs on campus and
will recommend further changes.
In the cafeteria dining room on the
first floor or the CAB, the major
problems seemed to be intense noise
at peak times, the instutitional atmosphere and poorly defined spaces with·
in the large room. Most of the money
available
for changes there fell
through. We used the small amount of
money available to soften the 1nstitu•
tional atmosphere by adding plants.
repainting parts of the room with
warmer colors, removing the dar1<1.
curtains which hid vital windows and
bringing in spare wooden dorm chairs.
This room could definitely use more
work. We wrote up a master plan of
recommendations for further improvements when and if more money be·
comes available. This seems a fertile
area for student-initiated projects, including acustical analysis of the room.
Copies of the plan may be found at
the Housing office, the Campus Activities office and al SAGA.
Buildinp, especially ones which are
designed with litUe knowledge of who
their inhabitant& will be, need to be
tailored to their occupants. Ideally
this should be done by the users
themselves. Student design projects
can be very valuable both to the
school and to the students who work
on them. They give students an opportunity to test learning and to de·
velop problem solving and decision·
making strategies. However, it can be
rather difficult !or stud•nta to initiate
these sorts of project&. One way to
ease this situation might be to rede·
sign Evergreen's physical planninK
policies, remodeling them along the
lines of those used at Oregon Univer·
sity in Eugene as aet forth in The Or•1•• Experiaeat,
by Christopher
Alexander. This planning system encoural(eS user participation and user
initiation of projects. It also foresees
and answers many of the problems
which may arise in auch a system.
We hope you enjoy the Deli and the

Checking out the Library
by Larry Stillwell
Once you've overcome your awe of
Evergreen'■ highly aesthetic concrete
architecture, you'll want to find your
way around and get some work done.
Go to Red Square (no, not in Berkeley
or Moocow, but right here at Radical
Evergreen; see all those bricka beneath your feet?) and look around.
See that tall, angular projectile
sticking up into the aky? That's the
Clocktower, butt of many jokes concerning its notorious unreliability as
guardian of Evergreen Time. The
Clocktower ia attached to the Library
Building. Among all those concrete
columns nearby ia the Great Ball of
Learning. Within the Library Building, to the left of the main entrance,
is the Library itself.
Now, the key to this vault of intellectual gems ia a brightly colored
bunch of printed information sheets
called the Hands-On Book. You'll
find them all on the wall on your
right just as you enter the Library.
CoJlect one each of these pretty
papers and put 'em in one of the
lolders provided and you've got your
Ariadne thread to guide you through
this amazing maze of words and more
words. Just about everything you
need to know about the Library i.s in
that clearly-designed
book, so we
won't bother to go into details here.
I'll merely repeat one of the first
things the Hands-On Book says;
"Don't be afraid to aak !or help."
That's what the library staff ia for
and they enjoy doing it. Thia meaaage
is not just a polite formality; fve
never known anyone who wu niade
lo feel they were imposing on a
liLrary staffer when they aaked !or
help.
Also, if you can make it, the
Library ia sponsoring their annual,
informal Popcorn Tour on Thuraday,
September '1:1from 2 • 4 pm. It's in
the Library, of courae, free popcorn is
provided. They urge all new student&
lo come "get acquainted with the staff
and the facilities our unusual library
has to offer."
•
The library can, for our purposes
here, be conveniently divided up into
four areas for your first via!t. The
Circulation Desk takes care of the
usual ched.-out and return routine.
Reference, billed as the "guide to
the rest of the library," has a staff
which ia aiwalys glad to help you dig
up some obscure but vital piece of
information. Media Loan, just down
the counter from Circulation, has
$200,000 of audio-visual equipment
just begging all you techno-freaks to
check it out and tJ-ke it home to olay
with(once you've proven to the!r
everhelpful staff that you're ready,
willing, and able and a fully
regiatered Evergreen student). Upstairs, the Periodicala Section provides acceaa to all kinds of magazines,
newspapers, and microfilm viewing.
-
graphical maps, 12,000 slides (mostly
thousands of art prints, film
loops, and games.
Vea, games. One you can check out
is called the Game of Students and
Protestors Against the Establishment.
Seriously. A lot of people come to
Evergreen to play that game. A lot
come because they're tired of playing
that game.
The Library will find a book at
another library for if Evergreen
doesn't have it (ask about InterLibrary Loan) and even buy a book
if you fill out a form and convince
them they should have it on the
shelves. About the only thing they
ask of you in return for all these
nice favors is that you return books
on time and that you not steal from
them. A reasonalbe request. They can
even be renewed over the phone.
Leave your Abbie Hoffman fantasies
behind and admit that you're only
hurting other students when you
steal that book. Personal responsibility and trust are the cornerstones of
the Evergreen way of life, supposedly.
On the strength of that, the library
has foregone the security measures
of many other college libraries and
runs the risk of being ripped off.
So far they've done pretty well.
The other thing available at the
library is your own private, quiet
space; study rooms are available on
a quarter•by-quarter basis. These are
for students doing serious research
who need a private place away from
home. Applications for fall quarter
will be accepted through October 3
and are available in Library Room
2306. Many people waut . the very
limited number of rooms. Please do
not apply unless your need is urgent!
A committee will make its decision
the first week of school. The names
of the lucky winners will be posted
outside Room 2306.
Last but not least is the Art
Gallery, right behind the wall where
vou found the Hands-On Book, near
the Circulation
Desk and Media
Loan. The art on display there is.

The Library opens at 8 a.m. every
weekday and stays open until 11 each
weeknight except Friday, when it
closes al 7 p.m. (Actually this is for
your own good, as it frees you from
study and drudgery to go see the
Friday Nile Film in Lecture Hall One,
whkh starts at that time anyway.)
On weekends you'll have to either
sleep in or study someplace else until
1 pm, which i.s when the library
opens. On Saturdays it closes at 5 pm
and on Sundays it stays open until
9 pm. The library closes all day !or

roll around.
So what else is available in the
library, you ask? There used to be

willing to help, especially with

CbarleaTeake: Literature. "Great!"
Knows his subject thoroughly and can

everyone, -even lady-bird beetles.
Kirk Tllom-n: Psychology. photography, political science. An earlier
faculty review said Kirk appears
either as a genius or an asshole. Still
true. He's "the paradox man," the
object of endless speculation by his
students u to what makes him tick.
He's been called an aristocratic, elitist
snob. His other side is his overwhelm•
ing intelligence and his high standards and expectations. Reserved and
not often accessible, but for those
who can work with him, he's excellent
in one-on-one conferences. Domineering in seminars, tends to discount or
exclude valid points of view that don't
strike him as important. Has ravorites

Death of the Cinema
Those returning after being away
all summer may be dismayed to learn
that the Cinema cloeed it.a door■ for
good on August 14, due t.o lack of
business. The Cinema was the only
theater in town to show first-run
foreign films, old classics and recent
American films that the other theaters wouldn't show because they
weren't profitable enough. That
means the only place now in this
area to see such films is right here on
campus with the EPIC, Academic
and Friday Nite Film series. The
other theaters in town are owned by
two rivaling conglomerates (which are
owned, in turn by 2 rivaling brothers)
that usually feed us a steady diet of
commercial pap on the Walt-DisneyBurt • Reynolds -typical - horror• mov~e
level. The Cinema was also the last
independently-owned theater in the
area. Its too bad that there weren't
enough people in the community to
support a place like the Cinema.
Many of us will sorely miss it.

It may be news to many of you that
there is indeed a recycling program
here at Evergreen and in Olympia.
Evergreen' ■ center is in t.he dorms.
Presently , Housing is asking for
resident usage only. Hopefully, the
program will soon be stable enough to
handle the recycling needs of the
wider Evergreen community. In the
meantime, Olympia's Central Recyc•
ling, at 207 W. 7th, will not only ac·
cept recyclables, they will pay you as
well. Their hoU1'sare 11 a.m.-6 p.m.
Tuesday through Saturday; phone
943-5226. For you dorm dwellers,
there is a recycling closet on each
floor. and stations at the mods as
well.
Both Central and campus recycling
accept aluminum, returnable beer
bottles, glass and newspaper. Campus
will take steel and bi-metal, as will
Continental Can at 1202 Fones Road,
Lacey. Paper sacks and jars with lids
can be recycled at the Co-op at
Bowman and Rogers in the Westside.
and Ron's General Store at Mud Bay
and Kaiser Rds. Your food scraps can
be used as compost at Evergreen's
Organic Farm, 866-6161.
Some things to know when recycling:
Newspapers should be neatly bundled and tied or bagged.
Returnable beer bottles should be
boxed with the caps removed. The
following brands are reLUrnable (good
for 40-50 cents a case at Central):
Ballantine. Blitz, Bohemian. Buckhorn,
Columbia Hamms, Heidelhurg, Lucky.
Olympia, Rainier, Regal Select. Rhein
lander, and Tuborg. Bring back your
quart bottles, too; they also count.
Glass, if taken downtown, will need
LO be sorted to color when you get
there. Good jars with lids should be
cleaned when taken to the Co-op or
Ron's,
Aluminum Cao, should be crushed.
Make sure they are aluminum and not
some sneaky bi-met,1 number.
Bi-metal and Tin Cano should be
0attened also.
Maybe we shouldn't be dancing in
wild abandon on Red Square, or uncorking bottles of champagne in the
Admissions Office just yeL But there
are rumors of small stockpiles of
confetti being quietly gathered in
secretaries'
desks, and Registrar
Walker Allen hu even been seen
wearing a more cheery tie than usual.
The reason for all of this cautious
optimism is the information coming
for the last several weeks from the
Admissions Office. According to
Direct.or of Admillsions Arnaldo Rodriguez. applications for enrollment are
up 28 t.o :U percent over thill time laat
year. Rodriguez was careful to point
out that this does not necessarily
mean that actual enrollment figurea
will also be up by the same amount.
The influx of applications has been
"very ■ teady, very consistent .. for the
laat several weeks. Rodriguez thinks
that this indicates more than a mere
fluke in enrollment statistics.
Yet Rodriguez ill not certain that
these figures will necessarily mean a
corresponding increase in enrollment.
He cites the elimination of the Supplemental Admi ■sion ■ Form as the
reason for his concern. This form wa■
a series of essay questions that incoming student.a were required to
ftll out in addition t.o the atandard
application form used by all at.ate
--lour-yeu-eoliegett,
The form wu used by the Admillsiona Office to ensure that ■tudenta
applying for admia■ion were aware of
Evergreen's alternative nature, and
were not intere1ted in something that
Evergreen doesn't offer, like physical
education.
Vice President Dean Clabaugh and
Dean of Enrollment Services Larry
Stenberg dropped the Supplemental
form laat year upon the recommendation of the Desil(D for Enrollment
DTF, the CPE report, and Rodrigues.
It wu felt that the form diacouraged
man:, potential student.a from enrolling, Laat year, approximately
percent of thon appl:,ing for admiuion
were turned down for falling to turn
In all of the required information
(uauall:, the Supplemental Admiuiona
Form).
'°
Rodriguez's fear is that the 23 percent increase in applications may
include those students that would
otherwise have been weeded out by
the Supplemental Admissions Form.
For the last two years, 70 t.o 75 percent of those who applied were accepted, well above the national average of around 50 percent. The percentage may not be as high this year.
Nevertheless. enrollment will certainly be up by a significant amount.
This is especially noteworthy in this
period of declining college enrollment
nationwide and decreasing emphasis
on non-vocational, liberal arts education. It may also signify the turnaround of the Enrollment Crisis that
has afflicted Evergreen for the last
few years.
According to t.he original projections before Evergreen was built, the
college should have over 12,000
,;1tudents by now. Enrollment lut fall
was 2,822, down from a high of 2,636
in fall of 1976. Because th~ school is
now built to accommodate over 4,000
students. the cost per student to the
state government is the highest of
any state collea-e.
In reaponse to t.he declining enrollment, the legisiatore ch•rged the
Council for Poat-Secondary Education
to examine Evergreen's
curriculum and structure to look for way ■
to increase enrollment. (See Larry
Stillwell's articlo, "I Never Knew Bill
Hucks .... ") Cries t.o cloee the col~
me louder and more frequent.
Although tho CPE Report favored the
college. it did recommend many wideranging and controversial changes in
Evergreen's structure. And the response of the faculty and adminilltration to the Enrollment Crisis often
seemed t.o be one of panic. Many felt
that major deci1ions were ru ■ bed
without adequate input by the Evergreen community. ThOtMtrapidly made
and executed decision■ may very weU
have caused the increue in applicationa for admission. However, the
effect these declaions will have on the
overall quality of education at Evergreen ill yet t.o be determined. Pe:·
hapa now the crlsia atmoophere will
eue. and we can evaluate, u a com•
munlty, whether the declaions made
laat year were the belt that could
have been made.

GETTING AROUND
by Rob Fellows
If you are reading this after Sept.
23rd, there is a bus between Ever•
green and town every hour from
7 a.m. to II p.m. daily with two exceptions: There is no service on week•
end mornings before 9 a.m., and on
Fridays and Saturdays there is an
extra run at midnight.
If you live on the Eastside. there is
consistent service to there also. Two
different busses go to the college,
depending on what time of day it is.
Intercity Transit is the city bus system and runs all over town until 6 at
nighL This bus also serves the eollege, and a 50--centday paaa will lei
you go anywhere in town all day.
At nighL however, the college is
connected to the town by meana of a
green van, which can be identified by
two orange light& on top. After siJ:
this is the only bus running in town.
from the downtown,
further solidifying our reliance on the
automobile. For most people, to live
in Olympia without a car is a hard-
"ship. But as auto costs go up, many
people are taking advantage of other
transportation alternatives.
Bicycling
This is a very popular way to get
around in Olympia despite the fact
that the weather is consistently
drooling on you. Not only do you get
where you're going, but you do it
cheaply and you get in good shape
doing it. Some aids to bicyclists in
Olympia include some bike paths and
a self help bike repair shop at Evergreen.
There are several bicycle paths in
and around Olympia (see map). Some
are more improved than others. Of
particular interest to Evergreen
students is one which can be found
between Westside and the city limit
on Division St., and another from the
South end of the Evergreen Parkway
to Mud Bay Rd. via Overhulse. As
you come £rom Westside towards
Evergreen on Division you'U notice
that just when the road starts getting
dangerous the bike path disappears.
This is because the city line is there,
and the county has not yet decided to
improve the path past there. Many
bicyclists prefer not to use this path
because it isn't kept in very good
shape - there are pot holes and dangerous gratings along the way, as
well as pedestrians. Bicyclists have
the option of dealing with potholes or
sometimes inconsiderate drivers; most
drivers consider the road theirs.
The bike path that start& at the
Parkway, in contrast, is a very pretty,
windy little path heading through the
woods. This one is nice to take even if
you aren't going anywhere.
The Self-Help Bicycle Repair Shop
is located in the CAB Building on
campus, in the basement. To get to
the basement you need to either take
your bicycle down the elevator or in
through the loading dock under the
building. Once your bicycle is in the
Drtvt.a
Drivers should know that tile lights
are timed on 4th and State Sta. in
town at 25 mph. It is definitely faater
to get through town at that speed. •
The ligbta OD Capital are not timed.
There are often speed tnps on Cooper Point and on the Parkway, and
various placea in Weataide.
U you need to fix your car, there
are all aorta of automobile apeeia)ty
shops in town. U you want to do it
younelf, there ia a rent-a-bay on
State SL right after the Martin Way
intersection coming towards Olympia.
There are no self•help garages, hut
there are a number of freelance
mechanics in town itching for work
who may be willing to teach you
something while they fix your car.
Car Sharing
The biggest factor that, will affect
your transportation options uide from
your economic situation and physical
health is where you end up living. If
you liveinside the city limit&you can
cateh buases, and iI you live in Westside, Eutalde, Downtown or at TESC
you can even catch bussea in the
evenings and on Sundaya. If you live
in Weataide you can walk to town
and bike to TESC. U you live on
Steamboat Jaland sometime• you can
bo&L but uaually you will need a car
for getting to town (though many
people who live out that way ride
bicycles and take the bua from tebool).
Carpooling is a concept that hun't
caught on u much as it might in
Olympia. Many roommate, do share
cars, and all aorta of different financial arrangement& have cropped up to
maintain this sort of practice.
Things that become issues in this
situation include: What happena if the
car get& smashed? Wbo'a inaured?
How do you figure out what coota
everyone involved should share?
People eonsidering joint ownenbip or
uae of a car abould be certain that

called, "greener-grilling."
Greenergrilling is played mootly by high
school student&. The object is to run
over hitehhiking Evergreen students
by smashing them into the grills of
their hot cars and yelling, "Fuckin'
Greener," or by mooning the hapless
atudenL
For some reason, this happens to
me quite often, but I've managed to
avoid getting hit thus far, although
sometimes juat by inches. If this
happens to you, try to J(et the licenae
number, but get the hell out of their
way, unless you want to be a dead
geoduck.
Women may have an easier time
getting rides, but thiet problems
hitchhiking can be far worse than
men's. A number of female hitchhikers have been raped on Overhulse
and Driftwood roads at night. It's
best to avoid rides with strange men
that are going that way, if you have
to go that way at all. Try to get a feel
for what the driver (if he is a strange
male) is like before you get into the
car and uk where they're where
their going. If they seem uncertsin,
don't get in. Alao look out for missing
door and window handles on the
inside of the passenger side door.
In case you haven't heard, a
common comb can be a very good
weapon if you're usaulted. If you can
manage to rip th~ teeth of you comb
across the assailant's nostrils, you'll
have him howling in pain fro111now
until Doomsday, and a chance for you
to escape.
Putting your keys between your
fingers and then clenchinf{ your fist
gives you something like jagged brass
«nuCkJes, but thia isn't recommended
unless you're sure you can do some
real damage to your assailant (like
poking out an eye).
By far the best route for hitching
around here is the Evergreen-todowntown Oly route (and vice versa).
You usually don't have to wait too
long for a ride on this route, except
for Sundays and _schoolvacations.
There are at least three ways of
getting to and from the college, but
going down Division St. is by far the
best. When hitehing from downtown,
it's best to wait by the Mark-it
entrance.
On the Westside, it's better to get
out and hitch up Division if your ride
is not going all the way to the college.
When hitching from the college, I'd
recommend starting from the corner
of Driftwood and Overhulse by lhe
dorms. But some women prefer
thumbing from the main parking lot
on campus since there may fewer
devious types cruising around there.
Hitching from the eastside, Lacey and
•Tumwater is usually a problem and
motorists harass you more in these
places. Sometimes, I've had good luck
on the eastside. Trying t.o thumb from
campus after llp.m. on a weekday is
almost impossible.
Long distance hitching from Olympia is not recommended. Take the bus
if you can afford ·it. Or check the ride
board al KAOS or in fronl of SAGA.
If you're going to Seattle or Portland,
don't take any ride short of your
destination.. I spent over 12 hours
exit-hopping 1rom Olympia to Seattle
one day.
Another time I was trying to get to
Portland and after eight hours of
standing--in the rain, I decided to take
a bus. Hitching on the freeways is
illegal and you'll get busted if you
are found on them. Standing on the
exit ramp is o.k. but watch for
signs that say '"No hitchhiking Beyond
This Point."
Remember that hitching is the
cheapest and most educational from of
transportation. You're always at the
mercy of others when thumbing, so
don't expect too much and it won't
seem like so much drudgery. Sometimes it can be rewarding. Sometimes.

Q: Where do leabiana a_ndgay ~en go
to dance and bang out
in
O1,mpia?
A: Tacoma and Seattle.
There are places in Olympia that
won't hassle leabiana or gay men, but
for gay clubs you have to bead north.
The following la a gay guide to the
Northwest. including-for thooe who
want to steal one moment from the
revolution and avoid a confrontationplaces to skip.
01,...p1a
In Olympia, your choices are fairly
limited. TIie ti Ave. Taven and the
Se......,., both downtown, and 8pad
and Ela&'• on Mud Bay, all have live
music on weekends and no one cares
who dances with whom. The Schooner
(nee the Why Not?) la particularly
squalid, but it's won the undying
af!ect,on of tboae booted out of more
pretentious establishments.
Which brings me to my favorite
subject (as other CPJers would
grosningly attest): homophobic (learn
that word, oh new student) establiahments in Olympia, TIie Weotwater
specializes in subtle harassment: their
dress code often excludes gay couples,
regsrdless of their attire, particularly
when they get on the dance Door.
Treatment there is unpredictable:
sometimes they'll take your money
J\nd sometimes they won't. If you
can't stomach either possibility, there
is one place not to turn.
At the Cone1toga. management's
i..ast.e runs to the blatantly hostile.
Although things have quieted down of
late, the management has called the
police to remove groups of women
from the dance noor. The Conestogs
patrons, when they rise to the
occasion. can be vicious, threatening
and sometimes employing violence.
The Conestoga is hurting financially,
and the management's
attitude is
more tolerant now toward anyone
with cash; but why support them?
People are usually not bothered at
Stefan's or the Tyee. Stefan's, in
fact, seems to be cashing in on the
Conestoga's mistakes. "Come to Stefans on Budd Inlet," their radio ad
leeringly intones, "and you'll meet the
most faednatlnspeople.''
doesn't fully satisfy, and 1ou'd like
some camaraderie, 1ou have two
options. Throw a dancing part1
(people will come) or head north 00

Tacoma worth stopping at. I uked a

Once upon a Saturday night. the
Coaatero began their abort-lived
career of reviewing non-betero type
night apots in Tacoma.
The three-woman crew headed
north and took the City Center exit at
Tacoma. Parking in front of the
Gre1hound Bua Depot on Pacific, they
were ideally located for bitting the
nightlife trail.
First atop wu the 1larwJ Ceut,
dark inside and ouL The ettentele wu
entirely male, but the Couten felt
welcome. The bar ia inviting, with a
high ceiling and warm wood tone,.
The dance Door la made of antique
tile, with a rotating glitter ball above.
The dresa and decor tend toward
upper-clus diaco tutea.
After a beer, the three surveyon
walked a few bloeka to the .,.......
. Cafe, with a brighter atmoephere and
a mixed crowd. The Flamingo has a
juke box, a small, stieky dance fioor,
and classic Tacoma decor: Dowered
wallpaper bordering the dance Door,
black vinyl bar, and dusty plastic
flowers adorning a corner shelf. The
country-western music was a switch
from the previous disco scene, but the
Coasters were invited into a group
circle dance to "We Are Family." The
mood was light and the mixed
crowd-mostly
40's and older-was
having a good time.
D.J .'1, the last stop on this
Saturday night's expedition, was alao
within walking di.stance of the bus
depot. (Editors note: D.J.'s. the
Flamingo Cale and the Barbary Coast
are tucked away inside Tacoma's porn
district. "If you want to feel like
you're really out of Olympia," another

If you are a full-time student,
Hnancially independent (not to be
confused with independently wealthy)
and have the skills needed to decode
the application form, you could be the
recipient of Foodstamps. The federal
government funds the Foodstamp
program as a component of the
Welfare program, though you can
reeeive foodstamps without any other
kind of aid.
The Foodstamp office la located at
5000 Capitol Way in Tqmwater, a
place fondly referred to as "the 5000
building" by everyone who's spent
two hours waiting for a twenty
minute appointment. Evergreen students, as fate would have it , are
protected from thia ordeal i>y the
Foodstamp outreach program. The
Foodstamp people send a repreaentative out here three days a week to
conduct interviews. Thia is unfortunate: a viait to the 5000 building la a
revealing l0110n on the working,, of
the American Welfare 1y1tem.

the choices are ■till limited. The

dancing. A jukebox with women's
music and two pool tables. All
women; you'll rarely see men there.
A hangout for more political leabians.
Sliver Slipper-Situated
above a
hardware store on Prefontaine. You
enter through an uomarked door, and
climb treacherous stairs. Upstairs,
you're met by blaek walls and •
moetly older set of women. Jukebox
and pool tables attract "quite the
pool table crowd.'' Some like it:
'"people seem really comfortable
there.'' Some don't: "It smells like a
tavern and looks like a dungeon."

are pretty equal in tenm of reporting; how do they compare on the editorial page, the fint clue to a paper'a

tlatlona. Recent cartoona. however,
were anti-oil pipeline, anti-Dlxy lAe
Ra1, anti-Rizzo, and anti-nuclear
power, Two of them were funn1 and
two were pretty dumb.
The P-1, in comparison, had an antiIRA cartoon that was politically
narrow-minded, but dramatic nonetheless. In the same issue it carried
hoth Mary McGrory and J aek Anderson. McGrory reported on the government's effort to inhibit freedom of the
press in the Progre11ive maga.zine-H
Bomb case; and Anderson expooed
the Pentagon's new tank-building
scheme to bail Chrysler out of its financial problema. The P-1 alao recently nn an article by a Soviet dlaaident

But to get our ~ out of the
transcendent douda ot world affain
and come baek down to the solid
earth of local p_ubllcatlona, be aware
that the Big Three are not your only
cboicea In the Olympia-Seattle area.
For 1tarter1, there'• the Little Three:
the OI,-,.. N•-• the 1-y 1-der,
and the SIMltaa•MuN C...ty ,._..
al, And then there'• the Alternative
Three: the llaeUla
Wealdy, the 8eaUle
S.. and Nartllweet PaNap. AU of
these are weekllea except for the
Pusage, which comes out every third
week.
The Shelton-Mason County Journal
should win a prize for the best and
most enjoyable editorial page in the
state. It's a good paper and has a
great sense of humor, prints very
funny and astute political cartoons
and gen~rally has fun without sacrificing intelligence and sensibility. What's
more, they use grt""at quotes for filler:
"Religion and art spring from the
same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers," Willa
Cather. They add quotes from Calvin
Coolidge about a nation's art revealing its neuroeis and from Shakespeare
on the value of adversity.
At leut stop by the library and
take a look at the SMC Journal. Surrounding thoee little gem■ and its
fme, line editorial page is a big, thick,
juicy compilation of local court proceeding,,, accidents, campaigna and
elections, administrative
hearings,
marriages and obituaries, free pet
listings and dog contest■, shopping
and recipe hints, bridge contest winners, gardening hints, political picnics,
local sports events and aupermarket
ads. Its Journal of Record, aection is
pagea long and liata every single item
to appear in the docket of the Muon
County Diltrict Court each week, all
J.he building permits granted by---thecounty planner·• office and by the city
of Shelton, all the going■ on reported
by the Sheriffs office, and everything
else anyone could poeaibly want to
know about what's happening
in
Maaon County circle,.
As for the Lacey Leader, you might
need to use its classified ads, but
that's about the only reason I can
think of for any nonlocal (i.e., nonLacey) Evergreener or anyone else to
want to read it. It cover■ local politica
and marriage• and the usual; spend
your quarter on the SMC Journal
instead and you'll get a bigger, better
paper and 5 cents change.
You can get the Olympia ,:;ewa for
free at 1pots all over town and it's
worth the price If you want to keep
upon the news downtown. It's the
kind of paper with lots of ads and
short articles that are clearly reprints
of press releases issued by organizations like the IRS, Adult Day Services. The Boy Scouts and Ma Bell. It
does have an ec!itorial page with nice,
down-to-earth personal comments on
various affain. Its front-page articles
are written by staffers and are better
than the stuff inside. The classified ad
section is surprisingly small for this
kind of paper and not much help in
finding what you need.
Now for the Alternative Three from
Seattle: the Weekly, the Sun and the
Passage. Each of these papers would
probably resent being lumped with
the other two, but it's a convenient
form of lumping. Each provides a different perspective from the more con•
ventional dailies. I use the term
"alternative" loosely and for lack of a
better word: certainly there's not
much similarity between the Weekly
- with its ""Wine of the Week" column, its Seattle Sport section. its rt.>views of the fine arts and fancy restaurants - and Northwest Passage with its articles on the Nicaraguan
revolution and Seattle collectives, its
hand•drawn ads for the Blackwell
Womyn's Resource Center, its editorial support of the prisoner, Native
American,
and lesbian-separatist
movements, and its letters-to-theeditor about Zionism, gay rights. and
nuclear power.
According lo one letter, ":f'he
Passage is a wedge under the ass of
the ·establishment'." The Weekly is
pure establishment at its moat "sophisticated" level. It's the good-living,
liberal paper for the nation's (supposedly) most liberal, livable and
lovable city. Both papers consist
mainly of feature articles. The Week·
ly's are better written, more in-depth.
and longer. But it's as easy to be
turned off by their sophisticated elitism and their respectable-liberal
attitude as it is to be offended by
Northwest Passage's own brand of
counter•culture elitism. The Northwest Passage can slide toward repetitious. narrow-minded, radical rhetoric
which sometimes replaces journalism
with sloganeering and propagandizing.
The Seattle Sun probably fits some•
where between the other two. It's
pro•Seattle, anti•nuke, pro-left and
pro-poor, anti-antigay, anti-big business, pro-little person, and pro-artist.
There's not a whole lot of reason to
read it unless you live in Seattle or go
there often and either care about its
politics and iuues or want a handy
and e1:tensive Hating of all ita current
filma, art show■, woruhopa, lecture,,
concerti and theater performancea.
Its covenge ~I new, la fair and fairl1
comp•ete, though it could uae longer,
in-depth articles like thooe in paper■
such as the Booton ""-la. It's clearly on the side of the good guy■ but
it's not as rabid u Northweot Paaaage. It ha■ a large arts and entertainment section with feature articles on
mmo and plays in town. Ao a film
fanatic friend of mine said, "I thought
the Sun's film review ■ were pretty
bad until I read the ones In Northwest Passage."
(By the way, former fabled E~ergreener Lynda Barry's cartoona ap_1!!&r.regularly In the Seattle Sun.
Pam Dusenberry, of lut year's ~Cl'Jstaff collective, now works on Northweit P .... ge.)
So there you have it lolb. Bead
'em and weep. The printed word
thrives in the Northwe1t and Olympia
u it does everywhere. Sometimes it
baa intelligence, ability, and compuaion behind it. Sometimes it's just a
lot of word■. I hope th- words here
will help you find your way through
the jumblH of wordy publicationa
you'll be bumping into when you
venture out of the Evergreen wood1.
I hope they'll help you answer that
eternal que1tion: what·• black and
white and read all over? If you find
one worth readin,r 1111over. it'll be a
RARE and wonderful find.

those places are gone now anyway,
but you'll never find anything like
them in Olympia. Folks from places
like Chicago - where they have the
best bars in the country - may go
nuts in this town. The worst. thing for
a lot of people is that the drinking
agt> in Washington is 21 and in Olympia there's no decent place to go for
hard drinks. The Laverns can only
st-rve beer and wine and the cocktail
lounges are, for the most part, quite
dismal and hidden awav in the back of
restaurants. Ben Moo~e·s is one exception.
0.K., so Olympia is fl!,) haven for
aesthetic bar nies, but you have to go
somewhere. The following guide to
the taverns m town is the result of
three years of no~ having anything
beuer to do than go to these plac~s.
(Note: "Taverns"
are places that
serve beer and wine only. Most
places are open until 2 G.m .. although
mo~: ..,rthe downtown taverns close
at midnight on Sundays. Make sure
that you have some sort of Washington l.D. with your picture and birthdate on it since most places won't
accept anything else. Even people
pushing 30 get carded a lot around
here.)

There is also a stereo in the place of a
jukebox with a good selection ol 60's
and 70's rock. You'll never hear any
disco at the 4th Ave. Tav.
The Brotherhood: There's been a
story going around that once an Evergreener was thrown out through the
window of this place by some outraged patronll. I don't know if that'•
true or not, but if it ill,•he probsbly
deserved it. The bartenders are polite
and everybody seems to mind their
own business. They've got homemade
sandwiches, including a grill and
deeplryer for hamburgers and trench
fries (the burgerll are ..... ), elightly
old-fashioned pinbsU machines, poo~
and shulneboard. Just bec&UJ1eit's
under the labor temple doesn't mean
that you should run in there spouting
Marx and worker control.

aee it as a mixture of Clockwork
Oruce and Satvday Nfslat Fever.
The We1tolde Taver■ : A quiet
neighborhood tavern where the big
thing ia playing pool. Mootly middleaged people, but they're friendly if
you challenge one ol them to a game
of pool. Country and Western (some
real clasaiCJ1)dominate the jukebox.
Not a bad place to go with some
friends if you just want to talk. (The
bartender there won't accept money
for beer from a woman if she's with a
man. If thia buga you, stay away Eds. note.)
l'be Town Tavera: A really friendly
neighborhood place that gets somewhit noiay at times. There are UJ1ually
tl,e same people in here night after
night (often that includes myself since
I practically live next door). No pool,
but there ill pinball, home box office
T.V., looebsll, and some electronic
~ames. It's not unusual to sit at the
~r and have a complete stranger
slrike up a converaation with you.
Art, the owner aQd 'bartender, tries
to get to know his regular customers
and can have what you want ready
before you even ask fo'r it. People
who come in here are of aU ages and
walks of lile. 11 you live within walking distance of the "Town" you should
really try it out.
The Boulevard Tavern: Another
neighborhood bar, this one is in the
same vicinity as "The Town." It is the
only tavern I know of around here
that serves draft beer in pint-sized
glasses. You'll find mostly neighborhood folks here who, for some reason,
preler thill place to the ''Town." One
reason is probsbly because the Boulev ird hu a pool table.
The Maplebrooklu: This place ill
out Martin Way towards Lacey and
has live music (rock) and dancing on
weekends with no cover charge. Prepare younelf for anything at the
Maplebrook. People there are mootly
young country types and 1960's atyle
greuers approaching middle age. One
night there in leu than a half hour, I
saw a woman take on two guys in a
fight (she would have won if the bartender didn't brru them up,) a guy
putting bu, hand into a flllme, and an
agin6 greaser wildly playing with the
zipper on hill crotch while dancing.
The bsnd WU playing "Okie from
M.sgokee" but with their own lyri,._
"I'm a wino from Tenino/place where
even square• ean get balled/We all
lay old Sall1 at the whorehouae .. ,"
and then "'I'm ju1t a fairy from
McCleary ..."etc. People were singing
along and doing other thlnga that
wouldn't be fair to mention here.
There ia a carved lign that reada,
; "The hornie1t • bar in town." which
may be referring to the mOW1teddeer
beach and antJera hanging up. No

For those of you out there in
Evergreenland
who would like to
eacape the grim realities of student
life, we have good new■. If you are
under 21, try Eagan'• Drive-lo on the
west.aide; they serve up those common ordinary milk shsltes that will
bring you right back to your childhood. And then downtown, there ia
the Grand !Uusioo Diaeoteque catering to the under 21 but over..16 crowd
that likes to get down and do some
serious non-alcoholic boogyiog. If you
are of age, sample the taverna for a
game of pool, a beer and loud juke
box music. But if you've got your
heart set on cocktails and lounge
entertainment, here's what Olympia
has to offer:

the room and the barmaid's garters.
But don't come here expectingto pay
old-fashioned prices: the drinu coot,
but the service and entertainment ia
good, the waitrellOI are friendly and
so tipa should be generous.
Acrpss the street from Robert R's
ia the Alladin, formerly known u tho
Sheridan. The bartender referred to
seat, and it's late at night, it can be
downright romantic. For another
view of thia establishment, refer to
put iaaues of the CPJ.
A little ways down the road, not
available by bus, ia Stefan's on Budd
InleL Though they feature live music,
thia ia the place if you want di.oeo
type muaic without the mirror ■,
However, if you secretly harbor a

people doing their ■henanig■ n■ on the
mirrored dance Door with throbbing
overhead multi-colored Dashing light■,
windowless box of a room and par for
the course, the dancing area ia amall.
Once you have groped your way to a
seat, the cocktail waitre11 may interrogate you to ftod out if you ~e of
age, and even if you have valid l.D.
she might request that you fill out a
white card. From the looka of things,
or from the looks we got, thia ia
they aren't busy working on whatever
it is that they work on. U you go to
the Tyee, ju ■ t don't forget your
money, and don't forP,t to tip.
U you don't have the right attire .
for the Tyee (yes, they have the
uaual dre11 code), you can find a
cuual euygoing place only a few
bloclts away, with much more than
juat Inexpensive drinks (draft■ $1.00).
The Fifth Quarter offers live music
without a cover, a nice sized dance
Door, and a room in the back designed
primarily !or a good game of pool or
pinball. Like Senator Claghorn'•• they
have an electronic game board on the
wall, and with three different rooms
to choose from, you're bound to find
a seat that matches your mood. The
people that work there work well
together and thia reflects in the aervice they provide. As a matter o( (act,
moat people at the Fifth Quarter are
friendly - perhaps too much for
some. There seems to be a lot o(
'interaction' there, and if you don't
want to be a part ol it, you might be
ready to say so.
H you are in the mood for something out o( the ordinary, leave
Tumwater and go west on 1-5 until
see a large green brick building with
a neon sign spelling ''The Dubliners."
A recent Evergreen graduate by the
name ol Leopold Bloom opened it up
only a Cew months ago. He says a
draft beer only costs 15t to people
with the name Buck or Mulligan, and
anyone named Molly can enter this
unique establishment for free. (There
ia a $2.00 cover charge otherwise). It
isn't unusual for people here to talk in
either ranting streams of conciousness
or Irish brogue, so don't be surprised.
The lounge itselt is enormous with no
tables or chairs leaving people ample
room to dance to the ineluctable
modality of the Dead L. Us's punk
rock band. U you're seeing someone
oft on a journey and you only have
one day to spend together, thia is the
place to be. The stout ia ha~dy, and
only coata $1.50 a mug.
Because closing time for bars in
Olympia ia 2 AM, we had to cut our
loung survey shO"l't. We regret that
we weren't. able to visit. Tumwater
Valley, The G~apevine, Tuxedo
Junction and any other places not
mentioned. You can find out about
these lounges through word ol mouth
or inquire on your own.
And one last word to the wary - all
of the establishments described above
<D
If transportation is a problem, and
you aren't able to make it to such far
away exotic places u Lacey, Tumwater and the outskirt.a of Oly, there
are several lounges tucked away in
Olympia proper that are only a hop;
stumble and jump away from the
TESC busline.
If you are in the mood for a cozy,
semi-quiet, casual atmosphere and are
an avid spectator or participant o(
bowling, then Senator Claghoro's ia
the place for you. It could be the
ideal spot for your first Evergreen
date - you could dine in their restaurant, then do some recreational
bowling and follow this with a visit to
the bar. Here, a quarter in their
jukebox will provide sounds agreeable
to most tastes. Drinks are reasonably
priced (draft beer 75t) and while
sipping you might play their electronic game board. When your evening's
over, just walk across to Division
and take the TESC bus back home.
However if bowling is not your
sport, and you want to take a trip
back to the old West, Dodge City
style, swagger on down yonder to
Robert R's located in the Governor
House. You can get a drart beer for
a dollar, listen to live music (country
western, top 40 and contemporary)
without having to pay a cover, and do
some heel stomping - if you can find
room on the dance Door. The most
outstanding features about Robert R's
are the lighted fount■in in the rear ol
this lounge as "a giant living room."
It ia quiet. intimate, comfortable and
unassuming. It caters mostly to
couples and people interested in good
conversation. It might be a great
place to get a beer ($1.00 a bottle)
with a friend you haven't seen in
years. The bartender also emphasized
that because of its sizA, (setting at
most 50 people) there ia litUe threat
of being uncomfortably interrupted by
obnoxious alchys. The only real
downfall to thia homey little getaway
is that the muzak ia remioiaceot of
the stuff they play in supermarkets.
The Conestoga Roadhouse ia within
easy walking diataoce of Alladin's
and Robert R's. The Roadhouse ia
Olympia's answer to the Space Needle
- ils allure lies chiefly in ita location
- perched five stories on top of the
9th and Columbia building. Big bay
windows look out onto ML Rainier,
Budd Inlet and the Capitol Old West
relics adorning the walls and the
hanging plants lend a pleuaot ambiance. A bit more expensive than ita
neighboring lounges, a draft beer
here coeta $1.25. Music ia euy listening, ranging from the 20'1 to contemporary, although the dance Door ia a
little tight. The dining area is
spacious and if you wish to bold a
wedding reception or conference,
there ia a large banquet room available for such occuioos. Thia ia one
of the more scenic lounges in Olympia,
and if you happen onto a window
look u if they have just boogied on
out of the pagea of Vogue or Gentlemen's Quarterly. Be forewarned,
there la a dre11 code - Lil Abner
outfit■ just don't cut the mustard
here. Exit 16', (10 named because this
ia the exit you take u you go south
on 15) tries to cultivate a very sexy
look - from the bachelor pad interiors - plush, euahiony chaira, hanging
plant■, quilted wallhaogingw of can
on freeways, thick fire engine carpets
- on down to the coclttail waitreases
draped in cherry colored, flowing
over-ahoulder acarvea that call back
the days and fashions of either Peggy
Lee ten years ago or Tarzan's lover,
Jane. The dance Door ia palatial in
comparison to other Olympia lounges
and muaic is all the current di.oeo
you hear on the radio. There ia also
the usual diaeo D.J. who huskily
interrupts every once in awhile to tell
you just what it ia you have been
dancing to all nighL This is a aophiaticated siaglea bang-out, for both men
and women, so be prepared to dance,
invariably someone will aak you.
Drinb are expenaive - a dra!t beer
coots $1.2§. But this la a fun place to
dance, even if the beat doea go on and
on and on and ...
Alao loeated just off the freeway
ia the Carriage Room Lounge loeated
in the Caniage Inn. Thia lounge'•
reputation preceded it, and we found
mo■t of what we had heard to be
true. The lounge ia a small. dark,
lights and ppces common to moat
discos. Thia lounge is no smaller than
the Alladin or Coneatoga but may
seem so on busy night■ lince people
don't usually come here for quiet
conversation. There la a lot of dancinii,
a lot of people, and depending on the
band, there might be a lot of ooile.
Though there ian't a dre11 code, there
ia a $1.00 cover charge for the music.
The finest qualit,: about this lounge
ia the view of Bual! Inlet that la vi.

where the "action" ia in Olympia. On
the flip side of the coin, a draft beer
is a dollar, there LI no dress code, and
if you're lonely, chances are you'll
find quick companionship.
If Olympia and its far reaches
aren't satis(ying your entertainment
needs, there ia the Tyee and Fifth
Quarter in Tumwater.
The first thing you might notice
upon walking into the Tyee are the
waitresses' uniforms. Dressed in the
polyester version of a precocious
Pocahontes, you may wonder where
the nearest tee-pee is. Don't let these
uniforms sway you though; the Tyee
is one o( the nicer places in the vicinity. The live entertainment is free and
covers a wide variety of shows from
bopping top 40 to _easy listening. The
dance floor is o( medium size, and so
lends itself to a comfortable slow
dance. This is a spacious lounge with
big cushioned chairs that roll easily
from table to table. On weekends, an
entire new section otens up in the
back of the room that aw,mmodates
nearly fifty more people than on other
nights. It ian't loud at the Tyee, at
least not so that you cannot talk with
whomever you are with. Thia coupled
with low light and a pleasant view
down onto the swimming pool encourages the opportunity tor an intimate
night - even if you do have to pay
$1.25 for a draft. Also, thia ia where
you might find some legislators when

Get Smart, Join KAOS
How would you like to take control
of your
radio,
and have some say
aboul what you hear and how much?
The opportunity exists, in Olympia, at
KAOS-FM (89.3). This non-commercial, listener-supported
radio station
invites everybody to participate in
broadcast communication. KA0S provides a place to explore the variety of
ways radio can be used to educate, inform and entertain each other.
KAOS is the Olympia community's
broadcast outlet £or music and public
affairs disenfranchised by the commercial and "educational" media. This
means playing music ·recorded on
small independent labels by people
not often heard, or airing minority
viewpoints and opinions poorly represented in the community. To carry
this out, KA0S provides three major
elements: a place to broadcast, technical assistance and coverage of com·
munity events and alternative views.
KAO S can be found on the 3rd
floor of the CAB building. The station's facility includes: production studio, air studio, newsroom, record library and office space. The production studio is accessible for producing
taped interviews,
documentaries,
news, public affairs and musical programming for KAOS broadcast. Limited studio time is available for academic projects. Air time is provided
Our training program begins with
an introduction to radio on the first

is usually full of activity· with people
working on many different projects in
a spirit of cooperation.
Training is one of KA0S's main
functions. To makP open access a possibility, people who know nothing
about radio or radio equipment need
to learn how to use it.
Wednesday of each-month. This workshop will explain the concept of community radio, provide a tour of the
station.
If you're still interested we will
train you in smaller groups or individually. If your interests lie else·
where, wf! can use your help to develop ideas for a special show or teach
you some techniques for interviewing
and news reporting. Mainly we want
to show people how to make radio an
open forum for ideas, &nd to include
as many perspectives as possible.
And now the part about ... getting
involved; how can you do ·it? First,
listen to KAOS-FM, 89.3 MHz: Catch
the hook. Subscribe to the station and
receive a Program Guide. come to one
or our workshops, provide us with

us know you're there. Academic credit
is avaU-ble to students through internahips and independent eontracta,
with ~tt:eProgram Director or Station
Manager or News Director acting as
sub-contractors.
There are many volunteer positions
open: Public Service Director, Tape
Archives Librarian, Business Manager
and a variety of t.asks to perform:
news reporting, remote broadcasts,
typing, engineering air shifts (that's a
DJ). organizing concerts, etc. Two

These folks work along with the Station Manager, Chief Engineer and Engineering Aili~ II and volunteer staff,
making decisions by consensus at staff
meetings I Monday at noon). Anybody
is welcome to attend these meetings
and take part in the process of de·
cision making. Your participation is
encouraged and appreciated.
Give
cummuni~y radio KAOS your support.
During the course of time spent at
. Evergreen, anyone (meaning you,
yourself, the person reading this) may
want to promote or produce an event.
Maybe you've got this "thing" for
Ralph Nader, Julia Child, or the New
York Ph1lharmomc Urchestra, and you
want to bring them to Evergreen.
give those kids some "culture." There
are various monetary routes you can
take.
The easiest way to back an event is
to find an S &A group to sponsor th~
production. All monies must be chan
neled through a budget number and
every S & A group has one. If one
group cannot solely support the event,
get two. or three. U no one wants or
can afford to sponsor your event,
there are monies in the Supplemt:nt.al
Events budget which - if the event is
deemed desirable and feasible - can
be used for a campus-wide event production.
So You've Found a Sponaor? This is
where the Activities Coordinator appears on the scene. CAB 305 houses
the Activities Office, the S& A Office,
and the KAOS-FM newsroom. In
CAB 305 one can ask any available office fi"ture • assistant directions to
Room A, within which one can find
(from 10 to 2 p.m. daily) the coordinator. If you've caught her in a good
mood, she'll supply correct information, forms, and ass~nce
for event
planning, promotion 'knd production.
IF SHE IS NOT THERE, awee,
loudly I) immediately fill out a TENTATIVE PRODUCTION LISTING so
that she can begin immediate preparation for Ule event; 2) ask for a
PRODUCTION CLEARANCE REPORT,-a five-page "gate-to-the-city"
form which you must rill out and have
signed by the various facilitie·s and
assistance groups required for your

is always cleared first), Audio, Lighting, Custodians, etc. CONFUSED?
Luckily, if this is truly your first production, you have in your production
packet an idfot sheet which explains
in detail every aspect of the form.
When you have completed the form,
you MUST return it to the Activities
Coordinator for approval. Thus i.a the
entire hierarchy alerted to the production, its date, place, and ... inten•
lion.
Did you say you were planning a
dance and want to have beer? This
type of event must be planned at least
one month and a haJf in advance to in•
sure that you get a liquor license
(which takes 30 days). Where do you
get applications? CAB 305.
This year the coordinator is trying
to book as many events as possible
during fall quarter for the rest of the
year. Your suggestions and tentative
plans are always welcome. Patti, the
coordinator, can provide you with
pertinent information while offering
suggestions for your specific event.

FEATURING A NEW MENU FOR
BREAKFAST -
Applejam, live music in Oly is flourishing. Let's start with Applejam,
Olympia's traditional folk-house. It is
the oldest of the non-lounge music
centers, locat.ed next to the YWCA,
220 E. Union. Closed for the summer,
this grant-supported music room will
be open to all ages who enj9y folk,
bluegrass, Irish and old time music.
Watch for their calendars.
Cafe Intermezzo,
at 212 West
Fourth Street, offers music in a
relaxed atmosphere, with espresso
on the side. Intermezzo is also the
spot for occasional readings by local
poets and philosophy discussions
with Dale. Ask owner Carolyn Street
for more details. Down the block, look
for Rainbow's Trout Room to be
sporting music and draught suds soon.
Michael Hall's Gnu Deli at ll I West
Thurston is the most inclusive and
consistent place for music in the
Olympia area. The music program
there. founded by pianist Jerry
Michelsen and extended
by the
author, has been bringing musician
and listener together in a non-commercial environment for the past two
years. The Gnu's non-profit system
has enhanced its role as a f~al point
for local and regional musicians to
meet and share their work. The
Deli also serves as meeting hall for
benefits and political/specialty groups.
In its short history, the Deli has
drawn such diverse 'big names' as
Sonny Fortune, Bryan Bowers. the
late great Eddie Jefferson,
Sam
Rivers, David Holland, and The
Philadelphia String Quartet.
But the bulk of music in Olympia
is local and it's good. Look around
town for appearances of Oly citizens
like jazz groups Obrador, Trillium,
Abrua and Myra Melford, contemporary rockers Conch, country pickers
Couc~ Creek, blues with Tom Maddox,
and folkie Paul Tinker.
You can check regular listings of
local music events by tuning in
KAOS-FM, or reading the Cooper
Point Journal, Take Five (Dally
Ol:,mplan's Friday publication), -nd
the new Doochuteo Galde. For lounge
mu.sic and rock 'n roll, look under
entertainment.
Support mu1ie In Olympia.
I have been asked to write an
article on the 'music scene in Olympia.' A few years ago, to many, that
would have seemed like some kind of
joke, particularly pre-Evergreen.
But things have changed. After
spending the last seven years in and
out of the changing community here,
I am convinced that the music child
is growing up. That child encompasses
the duality of stability and adventure
as never before. Perhaps for the first
time, a sense of 'music community'
has evolved in this town. Musicians
have learned the value of hearing and
supporti~g each other, and this has
spread to greater appreciation on the
part of the 11udience/society as a
whole.
Evergreen has served as an important drawing card for bringing in and
training music students, many of
whom originate from outside the area.
Spe<:ial attractions have been Tom
Foote's Country Music Contract, and
Greg Steinke's (since departed) Electronic Music studies. Evergreen's
facilities and training in audio engineering are the backbone of local
music productions. Former Geoducks
Mark Rensel, Ray Eldred, Peter
Alkins, Karl Cook, Aaron Sonego, and
Michael Huntsberger have gone on
to provide engineering skills to the
greater area.
Invaluable, without question, is and
has been KAOS-FM. That station's
committment to airing and supporting
noncommercial material since its
beginning some seven years ago has
been a mammoth, somewhat fathom·
less contribution. Pick up a monthly
program guide and tune in to 89.3
for ftne jazz, folk, eountry, cla11ical,
rhythm and blues, ethnic and women's
music, and interviews with locally
appearing muaicians.
Campus oriented production teams
include the Evergreen Coffeehouse,
the Country Muaic Contract, Tabaaco
Productions, and Tides of Change,
a group dedicated to women's mu1ic
productiona. Also, look for KAOS'
Dave Gordon to bring in highly
acclaimed jazz bauist David Friesen.
But it is the downtown music scene
that hu grown by leaps and bounds
during the la.st two years. Virtually

Herzog's Evon Dwarfs Started Small
Micro Film Festival
On Monday, Sept. 24, the Friday
Nile Film series kicks off its second
annual orientation week micro-film
festival with Reefer M&dnes• and the
Marx Brothers classic, HorHfeatbere.
1937's Reefer Madnou is an especially
important mm for first year students
to see since it presents the horrors
of smoking an illegal herb most commonly known as marijuana. (Although
in users' lingo it is often called "pot,"
"ten," "dope," "Mary Warner terbacky," ..weed," "reefer," and "shit,"
in any language it means "death.")
Many will be shocked to learn that
marijuana use has been reported in
quite a few colleges, including Evergreen. After seeing Reefer MadaeH,
"wised-up" students will know to
think twice before accepting a funnylooking cigarette from a stranger.
(Actually, I've never seen any paraquat around here.)
In the 1932 Marx Brothers film,
Honefeatlten, Groucho becomes the
president of a college and his three
funny brothers enroll so they can
help him out. This one will surely
encourage school pariotism. There's
even a cartoon included on the bill,
Max Fleischer's 1933 Sing Along With
Popeye. Showtimes are at 7 and 9:30
only.
Then, on Wednesday, Sept. 26, in a
more serious vein, we'll be presenting
Werner Herzog's 1969 semj-classic,
Even Dwarfs Started Small. Using a
cast made up almost of dwarfs, this
metaphor of humanity is a wild tale
about the inmates or a reformatory
for dwarfs who revolt against their
superiors. According to film historian,
Amos Vogel, this black humor film is
a ..... cruel attack on half-baked revolutions and an insidious call for better
ones ... it is, alter all, difficult to be
a revolutionary while having trouble
reaching doorknobs." Some of Herzog's better known fil~s are A«ulrre,
the Wrath of God, and Kupar Hauser.
On the same bilJ will be Jack (Joe
Friday) Webb's unintentionally hilarious Cold War absurdity, Red Nightmare I1953). This half hour propaganda piece shows what happens if
the evil Russian commies were to
take over Smalltown, USA. ("Dad,
they even shot Spot!") Showtimes
are 7 and 9:30 only.
Finally on Friday Sept. 28, comes
the big one. The Friday Nile Film
series proudly presents a double
feature of James Dean's best films,
Eut of Eden, and Rebel Without a
Cau..,, Eaot of Eden ( 1954), Dean's
first film, is based on the second half
of the John Steinbeck novel and is
directed by Elia Kazan who also discovered Marlon Brando and Warren
Beatty. The film co-stars Julie Harris,
Burl Ives, Raymond Massey. and Jo
Van Fleet in the role that won her an
Academy award.
Rebel is the stuff of which legends
are made. Dean died in a car crash in
1955 before the film was released.
The supporting cast includes Natalie
Wood, Sal Mineo (in his finest role).
Jim Backus and Dennis Hopper. The
direction is by the late, great Nicholas
Ray. If you've never seen Dean before, don't miss this chance. He really
was a great actor and a major cultural influence on the 50's and 60's generations. Plus, there will be a I 947
Warner Bros. cartoon, 8acaU to Arma .
a parody of Bogart and Bacall Films .
Due to the length of this show, showtimes will be at 3:00 and 7:30 only.
The admissions for all shows is one
dollar, which is pretty cheap compared to prices elsewhere. Please
try to show up early so we can st.art
the films on time and so you'll get a
good seat. (Oh, yeah, all the films will
be shown in Lecture Hall One. Where
else?)
