Evergreen's Galleries
by Doug Plummer
A part of the Evergreen Collection.
the college's impressive collection of conlemporary art that usually lives in a
closet in Lab II, is on di!:play again unti.l
October 30 at the second floor library
gallery. The show is a representative
segment of the collection: it also displays
examples from Evergreen's
traveling
shows.

The show's frontispiece, a Glen Alps
print, is the latest addition to the collection, donated to the college by Olympia
businessman and art collector Fred
Goldberg. Glen Alps, who teaches at the
University of Washington, perfected and
popularized the technique of collography,
which utilizes cardboard, sand, and other
textural surfaces as the printing plate.
The other prints in the show come
from the Washington Printmakers collection, a traveling exhibit of over 50 prints
organized by Sid White and others ir.
1972. Selections from Visual Possibilities,
a show from last year featuring comput·
t>r and microscope-generated images, are
included. as well as pieces from the
Evergreen Posters.
The exhibit includes most of the photography in the Evergreen Collection,
which is a thin cross-section of contem·
porary American photography.
The
breadth is apparent in seeing Don
Worth's pristine mist and forest next to
Diane Arbus' Boy With Grenade, or
Marsha Burns' sensuous nudes against
Ralph Eugene Meatyard's masked kids.
In contrast. the sculptures on display
share a similar sensibility, that of a kind
of witty surrealism.
There are two galleries on campus.
Gallery 2 in the library lobby, and
Gallery 4 tucked away on the fourth
floor of the library. Faculty member Sid
White assumed management of the gal·
\eries last year. The current exhibition.
as well as all the shows this quarter, are
being carried out by the Art.a Management and Exhibition Design Internship
Cluster. The four students in the cluster
assume responsibility for design and in•
stallation of the shows, and an a.ssistant
curator position is rotated among them.
(This show's installation was managed by
Susan Meiers.)

Sid White invites suggestions for
shows, although he now has a file
"stuffed lull" of requesta for this year.
Work produced by programs receive pri•
ority over individuals, and graduating
seniors have a more likely chance for a
slot than others.
According to a statement pooted in the
gallery, the goal ol the galleries is "consonant with the college: to provide a
broad and full range of aesthetic experi•
ence." It goes on to add a disclaimer,
that "The Visual Environment Group,
which is responsible for exhibitions, rec·
ognizes that there will be a diversity of
aesthetic taste among those who visit
the gallery.
The, a.rt has been reviewed
for quality by membe'rs ·of the V.E.G."
The V.E.G. has been around nearly
since the beginning, as an advocacy
group for the development . of art on
campus. In years past, contr6•ersy over
works on exhibit has occasionally arisen.
The V.E.G. became a kind of avenue of
appeal for such disapproval: it provided
an assurance that there is an official
body charged with responsibility for the
art in the galleries.
The group is made up of about a dozen
faculty, staff, students, and community
members. Although it may sound as
though the V.E.G. is inspecting each
work as it goes in, such is not the case.
It exists as an escape clause for the col•
lege; it also performs a broader function
as a consulting and advocacy group for
improving the visual environment on
campus.
Sid's own position about the function
of the galleries is to "open Evergreen to
different dimensions of visual pouibili•
ties," and to expand awareness of Ever·
green's place in the network that includes the Seattle and Portland art communities. He is interested in "images u
ideas" and in the bringing together of
mediums and ideas that may have before
been separate.
The next show at Gallery 4 will be
works by Seattle photographer Dick
Busher and sculptor VaJdis Zarens. The
show is a result of Sid's contacts with
the Traver Gallery in Seattle, and he
promises it will be a "challenging" show.
Hours at that gallery are a little
strange, 12 to 2, and 4 to 6.

The Evergreen State College Olympia, Washington 98505 October 25, 1979
By Mary Young
On January 16, 1979, at 11 a.m., UPS
delivered a medium-sized box to Central
Receiving. It was from the Van Waters
Rogers company in San Francisco.
Richard Lester, an employee at Central
Receiving, noticing there was no clear
plutic packing slip envelope on the box,
opened iL The paclting slip was sitting
right on top of the otyrofoam packing
noodles which atuffed the box. This wao
unuaual. Richard started getting cheat
pains and an extremely painful headache,
but passed it off as the onoet of the Ou
or a cold.
At S:20 in the afternoon, the bo:a:,containing chemical cell fixera for use with
the electron mic:roecope, arrived from
Central Receiving at Lab atores in the
Lab I building. Cliff High, an employee
of Lab Stores, set the box in front of
him. Mike Liles, a lab uoiatant wu
standing oppooite Cliff and the box. Tom
Balaban, a student, wu in the store
getting suppli...
Cliff opened the box and uw styrofoam packing noodles on top.• When he
touched them, they collapaed several
inchea. A gu •suddenly escaped. Both
Cliff and Mike got a full blut of it. Cliff
dug into the box looking for the bottlea
of cbemicala. Tbe leflon beat-shrink
tapes around the lids of the bottlea were
looae and the capt of the bottles were
off. Cliff pulled his ~ out quickly.
They were covered with slime. Cliff
called bis boas immediately. Within a
matter of minutes both be and Mike felt
extremely intoxicated and were throwing up, J)Uling out. reviving and pauing
out again. They made it to Lab Technician Mike Collier'• office where they got
some ltnigbt oxygen off of an acetelyne
tank. The aid car wu ealled, and both
Mike and Cliff were rushed to Health
Services where their vital aigna were
monitored. The poison control center
wu called but could offer no advice.
When their vital 1igns atabillaed, Ibey
wen, releued from Health ServieM.
Cliff got home at about 5:80 that nigbL
He went to sleep at 6:80. His wife notieed that be wu -eating and that bia
sweat wu oily. He wu having chills all
nig~t long. He reeked of Ibo chemical.
The wives of both Mike and Richard reporied the ume 1ymptom■ of their bu.band■. All three wivea reporied feeling

and lou of memory.
Although the oymptoms have otabllized oomewhat with the progreuion of
time, Cliff and Richard report they still
lllffer from oeven, back pain, for which
they must take mW!Cle relnera, and
aelllitivity to light which forees them to
wear aungluoes to avoid pain. They take
Iota of upirin and pain killers now. All
of the people affected have experienced
extreme emotional 1winga. "Apparently
we no longer have ellZ)'llllltic.inhibit«o
in our mind," said Cliff. Mike apparently
suffers from the· same symptoma.
Richard Looter, Cliff High, Mike Liles
and Tom Balaban do not Ir.now to this
day what immediate or lonJl"range damage bu been done to their bodiea. They
do not even Ir.nowif this accident will kill
them. In an interview lut week, Cliff
filled me in on the background of the
story.
Van Waters Rogers (VWR) company is
a acientific producta distribution hOON.
They are on state contract here in Wuhington and a.re the main suppliers of
ocientlflc producta to The Evergreen
State College.
Three chemical, were in the poison
box: two pint bottles of amyl acetate,
1/2 pint 2,4,8, trimethyi pyridine and a

gallon jar half-filled with propylene
oxide. These were ordered from VWR
by Cliff !or the scanning eleetron microscope technician at TESC. Uaually gold
and silver are used to set the tissues on
slidea. Thia makes th• tissuea rigid ao an
electron beam can be bounced off of
them and a resolution can coine back.
The technician had read about some
chemical flXers that were less expensive
than the gold and silver. He had never
tried them before, but decided to order
them to see how they would work. Cliff
was told to put the chemicals under the
fume hood when they arrived, but that
otherwise they should not be dangerous.
AU three of the chemicals singly are
highly toxic in small quantities in the
atmoepbere. Scientific manuals. such u
the Merck Index and Sax Manual,
state in their huard analyaes that when
a person ia exposed in moderate doses to
each of these chemical, individuall1, they
may cause both Hirreversible and reven-ible changes not severe enough to cause
death or permanent injury.· But that the
"chronic systemic ia unknown."
For example, propylene oxide in the
atmoephere is lethal to rata at 4000 parta
per million. Mike and Cliff were probably
exposed to approximately 100,000 to

NATIONWIDEBEMONSTRATIONS

TRIDENT

250,000 parts per million of the combined
rhemicals plus gasses released by the
dis.solved packing noodles. '"Very few
people ha vP. been exposed to any or
these chemicals in quantity as far as we
know; no one (has been exposed) to
these particular chemicals together with
the styroloam noodles," said Cliff. It is
not known what Richard was exposed to.
Ever since Cliff began working at Lab
Stores in September, 1978, all chemicals
from VWR have come packed in vermic·
ulit.e, an inert, organic material. It works
as an absorbent for chemicals but not
their gasses .. The box both Richard and
Cliff opened in January was packed in
only one-third vermiculite to hold the
bottles in place. The remaining twothirds of the box was packed with the
noodles. The spilled chemicals in the box
reacted with the noodles to create a
slime. "The day all this happened for
us," Cliff said, "Mike Beug, a !acuity
member out here, worked his ass o(f
trying to find out what was in the styrofoam noodles" (whose basic component is
styrene, a substance which when melted
down releases cyanide gas). "But even
the manufacturer couldn't tell him that
because they use wute plastic. So they
don't know if there's coloring added,
Light inhibitors, color stabilizers, fire
retardants, they have no idea what's in
that plutic. They just take it, dissolve it
and foam it up."
Cliff added that there is no law to prevent VWR or any other scientific distribution company from using these noodles
to pack and ship dangerous chemicals all
over the country.
Originally all four of the poi.sonvictims
held lawsuita against VWR, but now
have filed against UPS aa well because
the box with the dissolved noodles and
the chemicals, which could have been
used as evidence against VWR, was inadvertently thrown out. Tom Balaban is
also oueing TESC on the basis of neglicence. Because his symptoms are not u
acute as the others, Cliff expecta that
Tom will moet likely not win his lawsuit
against VWR and UPS to pay for medical bills. Hence this lawsuit against
TESC.
Mike, Cliff and Richard have been to
see as many as 30 doctors in the put 10
months. But the poisoning is outside of
anyone's experience. Richard says he
!eels they are "really getting the runaround from the doctors." He said that
they only treat the symptoma and that
some times doctors have not believed
him when be laid oomething hurt. Both
he and Cliff report that they and Mike
are being given large doses of pain killen bu'\ no one has offered them any
hOl)e of a cure. Says Richard, "I would

BOGUS WEST
To the Editor:
Jes' takin' this opportunity to again
apologi:r.e for the bogus version of Leone's
Once Upon a Time in the Weat that was
presented by the Friday Nite Film series
last Friday, Oct. 19. Since the story and
t.he meaning or the film had been altered
considerably, as well as having a halfltour cut out, I'm currently attempting to
make a deal with the film's distributor
that will allow us to see the complete.

1n which the ht-st scene was left out altogether. The film actually goes on for
about 20 minutes after the climactic
shoot-out between Bronson and Fonda.
Cheyenne catches up with Bronson and
the two ride off together, only to have
Bronson learn that Cheyenne is knockin'
on heaven's door. (It is explained how
Cheyenne was accidenlally shot during
the raid on Morton's train and other
loose ends are tied up also.) The death
scene the two men share is ironic, somewhat funny, and incredibly moving. (I
seem to remember a teary-eyed Claudia
Cardinale in there too but I may be
wrong.I Through Robard's final speech,
we come to understand his character as
1among other things) an archaic symbol
of tht> passing away of the old west and
Cardrnale's railroad as the coming of the

seeing the cut film Friday night, hence
this long explanation, which I felt was in
order. Being one who really does hate to
spoil endings, I hope that if we do get a
chance to see the original version this
spring, those interested will forget what
was revealed here about the changes in
the story. Those who didn't like the !ilm
they saw on Friday just might like it
uncut and those who did like it will
certainly like the original a lot more.

SANDRA IN THE SAUNA
DeJir Editors:
A funny thing happened to me in the
men's sauna. The editors of the CPJ are
indirectly to blame. When I went to the
Rec building Thursday afternoon, I was
a perfectly normal person. A lively con•
versation about the Pirates World Series
victory was taking place and I wanted to
• get my 2 cents in on that issue when a
very tall thin man came into the sauna.
This fellow caused all conversation to
cease when he wrung a wet towel over
the hot stones sitting atop the sauna
heaters and mumbled something in sacred tones. Then he dribbled a strange
potion over the coals. The air .was instantly 30° hotter and alive with menthol. I watched the thin man perch him•
self next to me on the t ""P row, sit in a
lotus position, take a deep and conspiC•
uous breath and do a solemn impression
of what I took to be a jet plane take off.
Beneath us two naked men were exchanging backrubs, but I have seen this
before and knew there was nothing dangerously homosexual about it. Everyone
relaxed, gave themselves up to the extra
heat and re11into private revery. I forgot
about reviving the baseball conversation
and looked for a solitary diversion of my
own. That's when I spotted the fateful
copy of the CPJ, giving off a dull green
glow in the redwood dimness.
Impulsively I opened the paper and
saw that the light-or aura-or whatever
it was, a special kind of neon newsprint-was coming off an article by Sandra
Simon entitled "A Pause in the Day's
Occupation." As I read the piece I de-cided the glowing ink might be designed
for dark places such as this-a t.ec:hnologica I breakthrough-the
sauna edition!
But only the Simon article produced the
eerie green light, and I began to feel a
little sick. Had I happened upon a nefar•
ious trick layed for Superman-Kryptonite ink?
The other fellas were not bothered by
the effects of the potent ray-perhaps its
range was acutely short. To be safe, I
extended the paper at arms' length.
squinted a bit and read on. The narrative had a strident compulsive quality.
The glow was one of extreme emotionanger! I thought Sandra Simon might be
a pen name for Sonny Liston.
She said she didn't like this nonsense
of having (acuity evaluations by CPJ
editors without first setting up slandards
and criteria. The trouble" with the recent
faculty evaluation put together by the
Journal staff was that it was unscientific,
to say the least. The trouble with it, the
noxious part, was that students were
making dangerous off-the-cuff remarks
about the Evergreen staff. They were
giving word-of-mouth
impressions as
though they were judging movies or a

know this works well enough in real life.
My wise old grandmama always uaed to
say, "Pierre, little cupcake, you need
three things to get you through this
life-aspirin, Kaopectate, and good wordof-mouth."
Simon said that when it comes to judging the Evergreen faculty it is important
that Evergreen students do not give the
staff aU the "hard sauce." That was the
zinger.
.
I thought about this for a moment. It
was true that no one has given me any
hard sauce recently: I felt a little guilty
about that. It's true that word-of-mouth
is just a cluster of sounds that evaporate
in the air leaving no hard evidence.
Newsprint lies around and it can be
pointed to and proven that innocent
people are affected by it.

haven't detered many reasonable people
from the fine qualities of that motor

of investigators from Consumer Reports
gave Subaru the hard sauce with comparisoit data and relevant facts, the report would be an unbiased one, and fair
to the consumer. Who ever said life was
supposed to be fair, anyhow? I think it
was Elmer Fudd.
The 747 impression began again; I prepared for takeoff. I have never heard a
747 impression before. I have searched

it is not an easy thing to do; I imagined

I looked down al the fellows exchang•

MISQUOTE, MISTAKE
Dear Larry:
Your article on the Evergreen Council
was accurate and complete, except for
the quote attributed to me. I neither
stated nor implied that the paper was
"the first attempt to comply with
COG II" (or ill). Rather, I said it was
the first attempt to comply with the
COG Ill section which calls for the
Council Membership lo include "fifteen
students chosen by •the student body"
(WAC 174-108--041(2) (e). Heretofore,
selection has been made by two or three
students and administrators from among
student volunteers, rather than by '"the
student body."
Thanks for the opportunity to clarify
this.
Sincerely,
Les Eldridge

Dear Editor,
Dogs. Ah, dogs. A person's best
friend. And wonderful as pets, too. We
love to take them everywhere we go.
Shaggy, or sleek, eoony nosed dean,
they're wonderful companions on the
way to or from wherever it is we need
to wander. Yes, doga are a definite treat.
Unfortunately, dogs are occasionaUy
considered nuisances by many of TESC's
community members, especially when
•they (the dogs) are allowed to run wild
over the campus, doing the things that
come natural to dogs. They soil the
buildinga into which they are prone to
roam. They leave fetid remind era of
their presence on the grass and walkways. And, worst of aU, they chaae, and
occasionaUy catch and kill, the more
helpless animals on campus such as our
birds, squirrels knd deer. Therefore, we
have rules concerning dogs here at Evergreen. We impound dogs in our little dog
pouod for one working day. If at the end
of the day (4 p.m.) you have not claimed
your dog, the humane society picks them
up. If that happens, the owner of the
animal faces a still fee in order to secure
the release of the AQimal.n,q the benevolent clutches of that organization. (A
stiff fee? Approximately $28.)
So, please-if you bring your beloved
dog to school, drop him off in one of our
little doggie residences (spacious enclosures ... big cages) while you go about
yOur busrness. It'll Dethe best or everr
one concerned.

be given serious consideration for the
job. Assorted excuses, aU unrelated to
his printing capabilities, have been offered to the other print shop employees
each .time he was avoided in a hiring
procedure. Apparently excuses were felt
necessary because he wu the obvious
choice in aU but the first hiring siJt
months ago.
Of course these excuses, such as the
commute from Tacoma he would have to
make (every day!), were never offered to
him: he was only told that they found
someone more suitable for the job. Those
judged more suitable all had serious
drawbacks which must have been set
aside during hiring consideration, so that
the obviously qualified ex-con would not
be the only choice. Things like no job experience, prior disciplinary problems at
the TESC printshop, and low scores on
the printing skills test were avoided during hiring procedures; in fact, two employees were hired without showing they
could run a press at all. They were not
given the "hands-on" printing test. one
that the original three were given six
months ago (including John Garcia).
Three of us aware of these glaring injustices during the hiring procedures
filed a complaint with the Affirmative
Action office a couple weeks ago, documenting dozens of unfair hiring practices
in the printshop, with the case of John
Garcia clearly laid out. Their response,
alter one day of "informaJ investigation"
did not even mention John Garcia or the
issue of discrimination of ex-cons. The
response included insults towards those
filing the complaint, as if the complaint
had been filed by a couple of snivelling
brats, rather than being the deliberate
and thought-out statement it was. Rita
Cooper, in her portion of the response
said "Should we say an older man should

By Ben Alexander
The controversy over faculty evaluations rages on, spurred by the recent
publication of the CPJ Gulde to the
Faculty and Burt Guttman'• angry response. As the issue polarizes people, a
number of questions have emerged:
Were the evaluations fair? Was is irresponsible for the CPJ to print them?
More importantly, is the concept of a
faculty guide a valuable one? Still, no
solutions to these questions seem immi. nent. While some say that we should not
have primed any of the evaluations,
others proclaim that we did not print
enough of them; lhese people adhere to
the all-or-none philosophy. There is little
agreement as to whether the guide has
any value at all.
First consider the advantages of a
guide to the faculty. Easily accessible
and convenient, it can help students find
special, specific qualities that they are
looking for in a teacher. Characteristics
that would' not be apparent from talking
with the teacher come forth in a student's perspective. The guide can help
students discover good teachers whom
they had not previously known about.
which could expand the student's areas
of interest. Finally, they can spur students to seek out the teachers and get
their viewpoint, as well.
"curse" purely on an emotional basis.
Your statement that there is nothing
worse than a 'born again' Christian is
factless and emotional: it doesn't touch
Dylan's faith...-ba1ed
on facts, not
emotions.
The question now becomes: can you
back up your statement with one rational
fact against historical Christianity, and
rationaUy explain the life of Christ. Is
your journalist\c view 'mere name calling
in the wind?'
Your article shows you care little
about Bob personally and more about
your "wandering desires." If you reply,
you will find the "ultimate act of hopelessness" is rejeeting Christ as Messiah,
as Bob and I have. The ultimate act of
hope is accepting Christ as Lordi

AND AGAIN
DearC.P.J.
I am an Evergreen graduate and a
born again Chriatian, and I am displeased with your poor taste, u expc,,ed
in the article by T.J. Simpson, tiUed
"Slow Drain Comin' "(10/18/79). Obviously, the uaignment wu to write a
review of Bob Dylan's latest album
"Slow Train Coming," but the wri'°r
displayed a lack of 1elf control, an ;,nor.
anee of true biblieal Christianity and an
unwarranted
prejudice by 1lamming
Christiano.
Three eumples:
1. There ia nothing worse than a born
again Christian, eapeeially one who
is Jewish and waa never a Christian to begin with.
2. Speaking of Bob Dylan's phases not
luting long, "hopelully his Chris-

3. Being one who views Christianity
as more of a curse than a blessing.
These are obviously not rational, objective statements by someone who has
understanding. Yet they are supported
by the C.P.J.l Therefore, I am asking for
an apology from the C.P.J. for making
unfounded bigoted statements against
my wife (who is a born again Jew!), myself, and other born again Christians,
including Bob Dylan. who consider our
relationship with Jesus more important
than our own lives.

I have never worked or even met Mr.

The disadvantages of such a risky endeavor are also many. There is not
enough time or money to do a really
thorough job of it. The end product of
the evaluation process is representative
at best, trite and misleading at worst.
There is little recourse for teachers
wishing to present a differing view. Because of the necessarily subjective nature of such an undertaking, it could
easily be turned into a .personal vendetta-something
to avoid at all costs.
Obviously, the idea of a faculty guide
has many problems and pitfalls, yet what
are the alternatives'! The student who is
interested in a specific teacher may seek
out ex-students of that teacher. They
often have good advice but, unfortunately, for new students this is a hit·or-miss
methodology. The student may go Lalk to
the teacher, but teachers are usually unavailable before classes have started,
which is when the prospective students
need them. Consequently, the faculty
evaluation portfolios are often impossible
to get hold of before Academic Fair day.
and the Academic Fair is hardlv the time
or place to examine a few ye;rs· worth
of evaluations.
Is this a 'damned if we do and damned

At the heart of this question's solution
lie the faculty evaluation portfolios. As
Burt Guttman pointed out in his letter,
Evergreen has an extremely thorough
evaluation system. Most teachers have
accumulated large evaluation portfolios
that contain numerous insights by stu•
dents. In fact, the faculty evaluation
system is one of the finest features of
Evergreen·s unique structure, except for
one flaw: it provides no adequate system
of access for the students.
Every teacher's portfolio of evalua•
lions should be on fiJe and up-to-date,
somewhere on campus w:1ere students
may inspect them. One intent of the
evaluation system should surely be to
provide students with this type of infor·
mation. The Registrar's office in the
library is a logical and handy place to
keep them. To avoid chaos in that office
during re~nstration week, copies should
remain with the ;irogram secretaries as
well. The Academic Deans should be
responsible for k,,Pping and up-dating
tht'se records. Whatever system is
adopted. it is painfully apparent that
some such change I' needed. This is the
only way to settle ne controversy; students must he gua~anteed access to the
teachers' portfolios. at all. times, not just
wht:.'n the teachers are around. In this
way. students' own comments, be they
positivE' or negative, may stand. unedited. on their ·own merit-which is the
fairesr way for all. Until that time. the
Guide to the Faculty will remain an
imperfect answer to a perennial problem.

NEW

WOMEN'S CENTER

by Mary Young
Two hundred and fifty-two women (or
10% o! the total TESC enrollment) aged
thirty and above, were registered as
either full-time or part-time students at
the beginning o! spring quarter, 1979. In
a survey entitled "Future Trends in Enrollment in Post-Secondary Education,"

women 30 to 40 years of age. Presently
there is a proposal to the TESC administration and to the S&A board for a resource·· and drop-in center for re-entry
women.
A survey of these TESC women was
conducted last spring by Jacqueline
Farrell, a re-entry woman student and a
para-professional counselor for the office
of Career Planning and PlacemenL The·
purpose of the survey was to aasess the
needs of re-entry women and to discover
their. motivations for returning to school.
She found thal her initial hypothesis,
that the returning TESC woman student
is not being provided with adequate support attention and that not one branch of
student services offers special support
activities to her, was true.
According to the survey, the re-entry
woman is usually over 30 years old, is
raising or has raised children and is most

very helpful.

the survey, "When trying to explain
what keeps them in school, the most
common factor was desire and determin•

used to describe coping methods was
'guts'." Finding another re-entry woman

thought an informal meeting place, such
as a lounge, to share problems and feelings, would be ideal. The need for a reentry women's center was strongly
expressed.

graduate o! Evergreen, propoeed to the

entry women. Thia center would provide
an organized continuing support group.
It would publish a newsletter to inform
re-entry women of such lhinp as displaced homemaker bills, available seholarShips and othe financial aid and
shared experiences. An oulreacb pr~
gram would be developed lo other
women's organizations jn the community
to encourage enrollment of the older
woman. An advocacy program like a
senior sister program to help the new reentrY women on campus become oriented
would also be established. The center
would organize a daycare coUective for
older children and children who cannot
be serviced by Driftwood and would
organize evening baby•sitting services. A
brochure titled "Coping with Re-Entry"
would be published and distributed
through the Admissions and Academic
Advising offices. The center would provide a apace to display ideas, skills and
talents of re·entry women to help them
gain confidence and maybe make some
money, loo. The final proposal ia lo establish a library of resource materials for
re-entry women at the center.
In addition, the center would work
with other organizations such as the
counselling center and the women's center on some projects.
Enthusiastic support haa been voiced
by Aeademic Dean Barbara Smith and
by Special Assistant to the President
Duke Kuehn. Earlyse Swift, contracted
by enrollment service, to increase enrollment, thinks that, because of the type o!
outreach TESC is doing, that a re-entry
women's center would strongly support
the effort. President Dan Evans called
the re-entry propoaal an "important issue
which should be checked into further."
The proposal is now in the hands of
Administrative

the accident he became extremely intoxicated. He said that be baa bad lo

All three men report that they have
had to radically cul back on their former
life styles. AU three aaid they have extremely limited energy resources. Mike
told me that he can no longer reach
down and touch his toes and that many
times he cannot even play his piano.
Richard said that he can barely make it

The stale Department of Labor and
Industries, which is covering Mike, Cliff
and Richard on Workman's Compensa·

of chemical combinations and to st.art the
three on a uni.form treatment program.
''I've been offered everything from brain

Richard said that up until now, they

MUSHROOM
by Ben Alexander
No, "liberty cap" is not a new fuhion
fad aod "atunzii" is not a Star Wars ray
gun, nor are those people on the soccer
field every rainy morning looking for
contact lenses. Hunting for psychoactive
··magic" mushrooms, such as P1ilocybe
stunzii and P. semilaneeata (liberty eap1),
is one o! the laste1t growing sports al
Evergreen, next to soccer and roUer
skating. Each year the autumn rains
bring out hordes of amateur mycologiata,
each one intently scanning the ground
for mushrooms. And each year someone
ends up in the hospital from eating the
wrong ones.
Many accident& ean be avoided by observing a few common•sense rules of
thumb. First and foremost on the list is
do not eat any mu1hrooma that you are
not absolutely sure aboutl Certain musb•<><>ms
·that can be easily confused with
1•,ilocy.bes contain deadly toxins which
will ..., the very least. make you quite
sick. Symptoms often do not occur until
•Upto 24 hours alter ingeation. A void this
possibiuty by being 100 percent eure of
what you are eating. The best way lo do
this is to take a spore print.
Spore prints are simple to make, and
take almost no time. Pluck the cap off
the stem o! a fresh muahroom and plaee
it, gills face down, on a piece of white
paper. Put it out of the way, in a place

with few air currents. If the cap seems
especially dry, put a small drop of water
on it. Cover with an inverted bowl and
leave it alone for 4-6 hours. When you
return and lift up the mushroom cap, the
spores will have fallen onto the paper,
leaving a print that resembles the spokes
of a wheel. This spore print is the key to
the mushroom's
identity.
Psilocybe
mushrooms have a purple or lavendargray spore print. Check all spore prints
against a reliable reference work to ensure proper identification.
For the amateur, a good reference
book ilJ essential. The book Polloeybe
Muallroome and llaeir Allie,. by Paul
Stamets, is an excellent guide. It is tailored to the Northwest, and includes a
detailed explanation of mushroom taxon•
omy, which is a must for proper identification.
One genus that merits special attention is the deadly Galerina. The common
Galerina autumnali.s is extemely poison•
ous, and is often found growing side-byside with Psilocybe stunzii. G. autumnalis
have convex to conic-shaped caps with
no pellicle. The stems are brittle and
darken from the base up, with age.
These mushrooms have an anaulu ■,
which is a collar around the stem, formed
of remnants o{ the gill covering. The
gills are brown, as i!i the spore print.
The rusty brown spore print is the best
way to separate these mushrooms from
Psilocybes.

Another species that is clouded with
rumor is the Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric. Once thought
to be the divine mushroom of the gods,
this species usually has a bright red cap.
though it may be yellow or white. The
caps have small white ..warts"' which are
remnants of-the veil. They are characterized by free gills, an enlarged base.
annulus, and a white# spore print. Fly
agarics are psychoactive. However, there
is great variation between specimens.
and an amount constituting a small dose
one time may be too large the neXi time.
Such ill effects as temporary los·s of
vision, loss of memory and death from
ingesting Amanita muscaria are well
documented; at all costs, -stay· away from
these mushrooms!
There are a few charac\enstics com
mon to most local Psilocybe mushrooms.
One characteristic is the viscid peUicle.
Sticky and mucous-like. the pellicle can
be detected by splitting the cap in your
fingers and looking to see it stretch
across the gap between the gills. Also
common to many Psilocybes is the blueing phenomenon. In this case, bruising or
breaking the mushroom will cause it to
stain blue or blue-black. Degradation of
the psychoactive ingredients is believl'd
to cause this reaction.
Remember.
neither of these signs alone is sufficient
to identify a mushroom. For in~tancc,
members of the deadly genus Conocybe

also exhibit the bluein~ phenomenon. A
spore print and further identification are
always necessary.
For those people lrying to storP mush
rooms, the best way to preserve their
psychoac·tive agents 1s Lo freeze-dry

overnight with warm ( not hot) moving
air, then freezf' Lhem in an airtight container. A fruit drier ic; excellPnt for this

The aelf-study, Youlz hoped, would

in planning. "Specialty

working together on details in the specialty area," Youtz said. "It happened, in
some cases very well: but not in aJL"
Still keen on involving students in the
areas that interest them, Yoult explained, "The things lo be offered in

By Tim Nogler
Tuesday evening an evaluation committee representing
the Northwest
Association of Schools and Colleges
arrived in Olympia. The group is touring
the Evergreen campus in part of a
process which will determine whether or
not the achoolebould be re-accredited.
The NWASC is a commiuion baaed in
Seattle which evaluates collegea in the
northwest region. Tbe eommiuion accredits or re-accredits an institution that
meets standards set for administrative
procedure, curriculum, camplLI facilities
and student services.
The 12-person evaluation committee
consista of faculty, deans and adminiatrators from college, in tbil region. The
vi.ailing committee memben each have a
specialty area. During this week they
will observe Evergreen In action, concentraling on their specialty areu. The
group will attend lecturea and seminars,
and visit labs and 1tudios. • They will
analyze the library coUeclion. FoUowing
their 1tay they will compile a report to
be reviewed by the commisaion.
Accreditation is important for various

Housing
by Pam Dusenberry
While admissions was processing all
those unexpected applications from pros•
pective students, Campus Housing was
receiving its own glut of applications
from students who wanted to live on
campus. As early u May, the housing
stall waa warning people that they'd
better get their applications in early-it
looked like the dorms and mods would
fill up quickly.
And indeed they have. In the thick ol
the crisis, 82 people were waiting for
plsces at campus housing, and ASH had
a liat of 40. The multi-purpose room in
the rec center was used to house the
overfiow of homeless students.
Likewise, housing in Olympia is-and
has been-light.
Several facton contribute to this: the construction going on at
Sat.sop nuclear plant, the opening of
Capitol Mall. rezoning in parts of
Olympia, demolition ol old houaea, and,
of course, soaring ren~l rates. Students
are hard-pressed to find suitable housing
olf campus.
Olympia residents have not been very
helpful, either, according to Campus
Housing Director Ken Jacob■ ... We
placed eight ads in the Daily Olympian
asking community members to let housing know if they bad roo= or houses for
rent. There was little response,'' he ■aid.
Jacob emphasized that "the student&
have- been fanta~nd
mod ,...
idents t.ook homeless people in, .•even
when their units were lull. Jacobs told of
a five-student apartment that had 11
people sleeping in it for a while. Housing
instituted a 20 percent discount to compensate for the overcrowding-and many
sludents are still taking advantage of the
savings.
Now, in the lhird week ol classes, the
housing crunch seems to have eased
somewhat. Campus Housing has four
beds available. ASH no longer bu a
waiting list; it also has no vacancies. Offcampus housing ia still hard to come by,
even harder perhaps. since most appropriate (and inappropriate) houses and
apartments
have been snatched up.
There are probably still some households
that have rooms available.
What about the future? The situ•

A man clad in white suddenly becomes
a chameleon. No sooner has this occurred
to you than he is replaced by a nervous
but determined man on a ledge. Next
comes a butterfly collector, followed by a
beggar, a logger, and two dueling paint•
ers. A thousand actors, yet they are only
two: Michael Long, Michael Hutchiaon.
The Mica Mime Troupe.
Michaels Long and Hutchiaon recently
performed a show of great poliah and
excellent wit here on the Evergreen
campus, during which time they had no
trouble keeping their audiences involved
in 14 scenes that spanned subjects Crom
a reluctant Jack-in-the-box to an East•
meeta-We1t ping pong match. At times
the plots of the vignettes were predictable. Most of the evening, though, the
originality of the two shone through
standard mime fare. Even a situation
like a man walking a large and uncontrolled dog (a mime cliche almost aa
much as the invisible wall) took on a new
and funny light. Their technique ia considerable, with clear, expressive faces
and physical feata you'd think impossible
if they weren't before your very eyes.
Some of the scenes carry political
messages (notably "Maximum Dose,"
which is about a nuclear power plant
worker) and some have humor that is
absolute black, but the messages are not
heavy and the acid tiumor does not burn.
As well done as the show was, it was
also typical. Mime, in America at any
rate, means an off-beat kind of humor
that is fanciful in content and controlled
in form. It can never be completely natural, nor can it completely take off into
new channels of the imagination. After
your hundredth mime show. you can't
help but feel that there must be something else that a man .who doesn't talk
can do besides be amusing. We wait for
a serious or lyrical mime to surface in
America, but until then performers like
Mica have plenty lo offer.•

Continues
ation will undoubtedly get worse before
it gets better. Jacob predicted, "The real
housing crunch will come in three yea.rs.
perhaps two years." He believes campus
housing, ASH, and Colony Inn, Another
apartment complex, can handle the load
for the next one or two years, if enrollment predictions are accurate.
One solution u to where to house all
these new Evergreeners obviously would
be to build additional housing on campus.
Jacobs told the CPJ that, at least for
large-scale projects, funding is not readily available. One potential source ol
funding is a low-interest loan from the
Department
of Housing and Urban
Development, the federal agency that
often funds such projects. Jacob ex•
plained that HUD has a formula for
granting loans. According to his calculations, Campus Housing would have to
receive 800 more applications than they
received this year in order to qualify.
Current capacity ol the dorms and
mods ia 588: they have never been filled
to capacity. Jacob attributes· tbia to
housing's policy of granting unit leases.
Under these, students rent an apartment
and sublet to however many othen they
choose. Olten thia ia below the capacity
of the unit. Jacob ia seriously considering
abolishing unit lea.sea a.s a solution to
this problem: it would provide a.s many
as 100 more beds.
Another option for coping with the
ae,ere es undt-to- come-,J•ceb saidT i8 t.o
attract "private developers ... who would
build housing adjacent to campus on the
bus lines," similar to ASH.
Undoubtedly Evergreen will have to
build more on-carnpus housing in the
future. Currently in the works is a pr<>posal to build three to five more mods by
fall of next year. Thia, however, would
only provide space for 12 to 20 more
people. Jacob emphasized that whatever
option the college takes, in the long or
short run, students will take part in the
design process.
Jacob is aware that planning must begin soon. "We don't want to get into a
position where lack of housing would
limit college enrollment." He and other
administraton will begin meeting soon
to discuss the variou.s possibilities and
outline a plan of action.
