THE RETURN

By Andy Lindsay

If you do your shopping anywhere
other than the Food Co-op, or if you
have a tendency to drink. beer or 90ft
drinks, or listen to the radio or read the
newspaper, you've probably been told to
"Keep on Recycling-Vote NO on 61."'
II you have good eyesight and notice
signs on peoples' lawns, you may have
seen a ..Vote Yes on 61." But the chances
are less than ten to one, as that is the
ratio by which opponenl.8 al Initiative 61
are outspending those in favor of the bill.

At the fourth floor gallery in the library are photographs by Dick Busher
and sculptures by Valdis Za.rina. The
show was provided by the Traver Gallery ol Seattle, a gallery oriented to disrlay of regional work.
Dick Busher's color Cibachrome pho~
graphs are handsome images of precision
and decay, and executed with the utmoet
technicaJ perfection. It is a sparse, but
complete group of 16 prints. There a.re
two groups. one of nature images, the
other of textural patterns on walls and
metal, yet the photographs are in~changeable as far as any difference in
intent is concerned. The nature prints, in
wooden frames, are cool, highly ordered,
with nothing in the composition left to
accident. Everything is intentional, yet
we are looking at found arrangements
chosen for their abili\y to yield to such
tight reins of order. Out of the random
clutter of nature or corroding metal is
found highly organized structure. The
concern is the same with any of the subJects. The flaking paint on a wall is identical to the lichen on a rock, the loop of
the cable mirrors the curve of the leaves.
Some of the images appear almost aerial,
like the geometry of croplands. or resemble microscopic views. Yet the images
speak mostly of an overwhelming. con•
vincing clarity, an exaggerated reality.
This activity of restricting vision to the
sides of walls and their marks could be
compared to the work of Aaron S_iskind.
Unlike him though, Busher's forms contain great depth; they are tactile and
bright. The technical process contributes
t.o the effect. Cibachrome is a reversal
process, making prints from slides rather
than a negative, and the material is
known for its slick surface and intense
colors, especially reds.
The precision and orderliness of this
work is not surprising for someone with
degrees in math and physics. He studied
at the University of Connecticut and
Stanford, and went to the University of
W.. hington to study graphic design. He
is 38 years old and lives in Seattle.
where he makes his living as an architectural photographer.
Zarin's half of the show consists of
seven extremely
elegant, emboued
aluminum shee~ an.d.J.lu:eeJt.andiog
sculptures. It's easy to wonder what is in
these things, they appear so minimal.
Get closer; more happens the more you
look. Watch how the lines of the surface
reflect and alter the light and wrap it
around the contours of the piece. One
way to see them is up close, a foot or
less, closing one eye and walking slowly
p.. t them. Unfortunately, the glus on
the lrame sadly diminishes this aspect al
the work. From farther away, the e.m·
bossed lines on the aluminum fl.ll the
space in a.s simple yet complete a man•
ner as possible.
The three pieces in the middle bring
this interactive quality with the environ•
ment into another dimension: movement
and balance. The entire room is vilible
on the highly polished 1urlace; It is
wrapped around the tubes. And more,
they move. Blow on them, or gently
touch thorn. Very gently-I don't want to
get in trouble for advocating this.

lished?" is being answered in interesting
ways.
Opponents answer that if Initiative 61
pa.sses it will collapse the container and
beverage-manufacturing
industry in
Washington,
waste energy, increase
beverage prices, raise taxes, and para•
doxically, kill the recycling business.
Supporters say it will create more
jobs, save energy, decrease litter, lower
prices, and save the taxpayers money by
transferring the social costs of "throwaways" back t.o the manufacturers.
It seems that either t.he pro or con
side must be right and the other con·
fused. But each side has produced an
impressive blizzard of statistics to support their claims.

The two opposing camps met recently
at The Evergreen State College on October 29, as part of TESC's "'Debate 79"
series. which offers student and the local
community a chance to hear the candi·
dates a»d representatives

Majkut, representing Citizens for Returnable Beverage Containers.

Hernie Reuland, personnel director for

Evergreen is the latest and most successful chapter in the history of experiment.al education in America, according
to a new book by Evergreen faculty
member Dr. Richard M. Jones. The
author sees his book, Experiment al
Ever,reen, as a sequel to The Expoti•
me ■ tal College
and E•perlmeat
at
Berkeley. the two most important works
in the history of alternative education
in America.
In the ea.rly 1920's, Alexander Mil<lejohn wrote a book titled Tllo Expon•
mental College. Miklejohn's philosophy,
according to the introduction to Richard's
book by faculty m~mber Dr. Leo
Daugherty, was "essentially, that the
liberal arts curriculum be centered on
the reading al the very best and the
most universal
ancient and modern
classics.
"Miklejohn insisted upon two thing• at
the bottom line. First, the ratio.._le for
the curriculum was the need for decitionmaking citizens in a democnc1 to be
___ed.uut.-d enough J.o take 1dvenflge
their freedoms-not
just for their own
individual sakes, but also for the good al
the society it.sell.''
Secondly he "demanded that the classroom 'delivery' of the curriculum be
interdisciplinary-that
it deal with
human issues, not necessarily with specialized fields of expertise."
From 1927-1932, Mil<lejohn had the
opportunity to teat out his ideu on a
special experimental college program at
the University of Wisconain, Madison.
Said Richard, "It's been an amazingly
succeuful experiment from the fact that
the studenl.8 who were in that program,
although it only luted for four years,
still have reunions, and they don't ju.at
have hoo-rah-party-type reunions, they
always have seminars and lecture,.
They're now in their seventies, aJmoet
all of them are very distinguished
people.''
The most important attempt, before
Evergreen, to revive Miklejohn's experi•
mental college happened at Berkeley in

the 60's under the direction al Jooeph
Tussman. It was important
because
Tussman chronicled his experience in a
book titled Esperlmenl al Berkeley.
"Had Tussman not written his book, I
don't think we'd have the kind of Evergreen we have today," said Richard.

Tus1man'1 experiment waa nearly exactly like Miklejohn's, but ii also failed aft.er
lour years. Leo write&, "He (Tuasmanl
simply could not find enough experienced
professor& on the Berkeley faculty who
would risk participation in the experiment, The problem was not the Miltiejohn curriculum. Rather, it was tho fear
of leaving one'1 departmental niche, even
briefly, to do the roquiaite collaborative
teaching. In other words, the problem
was individual prole11lonal fear ... "
Not the currieular, but the pedagogical
innovation these two men introduced, is
the foundation of the experiment at
Evergreen, believe, Richard. He writes,
"What influenced us moot was the ...
substituting for the traditional format of
separate teachers, teaching separate
courses, in separated blocks of time, to
separate groups of st\Jdenls, (who are

separately combining different assort•
ments of courses). a format in which
a team of teachen teach the same group
,f 1tudent1, who are all studying the
same thing, at the same time, over a
prolonged period.''
Esperiment at Evergreen goes into
great delail about thf' pret:ise- structure
and operation of Evergreen. Chapters
explain Evergreen's general curriculum,
lectures, seminars, workshops, evalua·
lions. and the Cine points or successful
l'OOrdinated studies prQgrams. It ends
with a chapter vn the possibilities and
prospect.:1 of experimental
education.
"We've had so much experience with the
co·ordinated
studies stru<'Lurf' than
either Miklejohn or Tussman. that I just
figured it was time to write it up as a
piece of history. My real hope
is that
some traditional colleges wilJ try it out
on a very minor scale. I t.hink we've
learned enough about it here to indicate
that, with a certain amount of co•
operation and motivation on the part of
£acuity, tenured faculty mostly, in Lradi•
lional colleges, there is no reason why
tittle enclaves- of c-o-ordtffated studies
couldn't be going on in lots of colleges."
"I think a lot of it has to do with the
drying up of the job market. You don't
get much money for being liberally
educated. On the other hand, there's the
point that Leo makes, that there are
going to be so few jobs in the forseeable
future that people may as well get educated anyhow.'' Although, Richard says,
"I've seen students come into Evergreen
whose goals were entirely vocational,
they were going to be psychologisl.8 (or
whatever), and after one program or
two, once they realized what liberal
education was, they decided they didn't
want to be anything. They just wanted
to spend four years getting a good

•'You see, the irony is that almosl

Evergreen, Richard believes. is part of a
bigger experiment which has profound
implications for education in America. He
emphasyeJ that Eyergreen "has historical roots and really is part of an on
going cultural experiment."
With Esperiment
at Ever1reen,
Richard has given us the documentation
of a dream come true. It is a warm book;
one that makes one feel proud and
spttial to be part or the Evergreen
community. It is optimistic; any student
who reads it would want to be an Ever

istrator would see immediat.ely the value

taught in the co-ordinated

fashion. As the introduction
states:

Al th<· first annual meeting of the
EH.•rKrt.•enAlumni Association, a set of
by laws was adopted that called for the
:-.t'it><·tion
of a student to be a non-voting
mt·mbt>r of the Board of Directors. The

ret:ognized the importance of
input and information that a currently

Board.
Wt' are now searching for a student
representative and are requesting that
mdividuals interested please contart the
Dt·\(•\opment office in Library 3103 or
rail 866-6565. The Board meets approximately four times a year (usually in
Olympia) and addresses a large range of

Being neither faculty nor student. but
merely a temporary st.after (notwithstanding my longtime interest in and
support of TESC), allow me to referee.
What are we/you here for? There
should only be one answer: TO LEARN.
And what is learning? Does it come from
an outside source, i.e., books, teachers.
mstitutions. etc.? No, it cannot. Learning
1s the ability to focus the inner light of
awareness and understanding. Yes, we

11 this student comes away from his
l'Xpf'rif'nce feeling he has gained liLtle
and struggled hard, who is to blame'?
The faculty or program he enrolled in? !
who have never "been to college" say n,..l.
The "student" who is not able to "learn"
at E\'ergreen is going to be unable in all
that he attempts. Yes, he'll struggle.
That will be his downfall because learnmg- cannot be accomplished by pushing
words or ideas upon one's intellect. True

.1nd allowing one's inner energies to
focus on the outside information one is
trying to absorb.
And what, you may ask, does all this
philosophical mumbo jumbo have to do
with the original issue addressed in this
letter? Simply this: a student, or anyone
else for that matter, who openly makes
negative statements against a person
whom he/she has been associated with in
a situation of sharing knowledge, is obviously struggling with their own negative .feelings; their inabilities to take
responsibility for their own lfves and
everything which occurs in them. Until a
learner learns to learn, what use can
they make of anyone else's knowledge?
I think TESC is a good school. Here,

more than any other school I have seen
people seem to keep themselves trul;
open to new ideas. Able to deal with
each other on an honest, open level.
Most of the time.
Someone who is unable to gain positive experiences here .. well, they have
a lot to learn. Might I suggest daily deep
meditation"? Let's see a lot less bickering
of egos and more touching of minds and

BORN-AGAIN CANINE
Dear CPJ:
I am an Evergreen graduate and a
born-again Canine, and I am disgusted
with your sick taste, as I threw up on
the letter by Mack Smith, titled "Ah.
Security" (10-25-79). Obviously the assignment was to display sick, stupid
humor, to slander and to order the imprisonment of Canines. and of course the
writer displayed a complete lack of selfcontrol and compassion, and an unwarranted fascist perversity by slamming
Canines.
Three examples:
1. "Dogs are considered nuisances by
TESC's community members, especially when they are allowed to run wild."
2. Speaking of Canine's "fetid reminders of their presence on the grass and
walkways."
3. "Drop him off in one of our little
doggie residences (spacious enclosures
... big cages) while you go about your
business. It'll be the best for everyone
concerned."
These are obviously demented, pogrommatic statements by some dogmatist pervert who has no understanding
and no love. Yet they are supported by
the CP J!. Therefore, I am not only asking for immediate prostration but demand that the CPJ and Security staffs be
impaled for making unfounded fascist
statements against my bitch (formerly a
Siamese Feline bul now a born-again
Canine), myself. and other born-again
Canines, including J. C. who, as THE
Son of GQD was a DOG and not a biped
as your bigoted dogma suggests!

STATE OF CONTRASTS
CPJ ls (pronounced like 'eyes'),
As an autochthonous Washingtonian
and northwesterner for a few generations (to be sesquipedalian about it), I
happened to be around when Governor
Dan's Administration published a booklet
of facts about this state. Therein I found
that the Rhododendron state is also
known as the state of ·contrasts. That
being the case, another suggestion for
school colors is to use the rainbow
(which is evergreen as weU as other
colors) and white so as to be alternatively contrastive in our aura in this educational era of experiment. .
To each gooeydoe and gooeybuckthat's the relative currency of TESC
student persons-support
sensible seminaring, I pray.

To the Editor:
Recently various posters and flyers
have been marred and labeled 'sexist.'
All of these flyers and posters have been
for events or resources specifically for
women. We would like to address this
anti-women backlash.
There have always been and are still
an abundance of spaces for men to associate freely with each other and to address their needs and concerns. One
good example is the Men's Center on
campus.
We would like to clarify what sexism
is and is not. Sexism is: one sex denying

this act pays for the youth litt~r patrol
for highway clean-up and litter and recycling education. The Act is compatible
with our emerging private recycling industry. It works well to clean-up and
eliminate all waste, while the recyclers
make a living and pay wages and taxes.
Oregon has a deposit law. Oregon tax
payers must directly bear the burden for
highway clean-up and they must also
subsidize the recycling centers at a rate
of_Sl.84 output for S1.00 worth of re<:ychng. If you doubt that, bear in mind
that private industry must be efficient or
go broke. Government and government
supported business just ask for more
taxes. In Oregon all taxpayers pay for
clean-up and recycling. In Washington
the t.ax on related industries is passed on
to their consumers and is thus a user

Dear Editor:
IF THE CONTENT IS NOT PLEASANT, A CREATIVE WORK IS NOT
ART. This is a very curious "aesthetic"
dictum (dictum! I always thought that art
had no limits), but apparently this is the
enlightened and intellectually sophistical•
ed judgment of the majority of Evergreeners who saw Polanski's Repu.llioa.
For years Roman Polanski has been
considered by critics and discerning
moviegoers to be one of the few true
geniuses of the modern c:inema. For
years RepuJ1ioa has been admired as
possibly one of the all-time lilm masterpieces. But here at Evergreen, different
ideas prevail. And those ideas aren't
opin,ons,
either;
they're
FACTS.
Repuluoa, they say. is not art because it
isn't pleasant, just like Rod McKuen is
obviously greater than Allen Ginsberg,

or like the TV show "Family Affair" is
obviously greater than ApoealypH Now.
Seriously, I've always believed that art
is supposed to make us see things in new
ways, to pose questions that aren't easily
answered, not necessarily to reinforce
our desperate visions of a cherry-pie life
of sweet eternal sunshine. King Lear
certainly doesn't pat us on the back.
Neither does Wutherlq Heilhto. Neither do the Rolling Stones nor, for that
matter, does the Bible.
Repulsion is a film about an emotionally disturbed girl who gradually goes
insane and finally commits two murders.
Most of the Evergreen audience found all
of this extrordinarily
hilarious. That
weirdo freak, she deserved everything
she got. .. what a strange broad. right?
I personally thought Repulaion was a
tnagnificently conceived and executed
film, and that Catherine Deneuve delivered one of the most brilliant performances I've ever seen. But don't worry,
cravers of the safe. There's always
"Three's Company."

H0W.TO LIE
WITH STATISTICS
To the Editor:
I-would-view tH surveys ---with-sceptt-cism, es~cially one from the University
of Washington where one of 6l's prime
workers Bill Erxlaven is employed.
Everyone in politics hu read "How to
Lie with Statistics" and most seem to
regard it as a bibJe.
Since both Washingtoh and Oregon
claim to have cleaner rc,a.ds, we can consider them equal. We should now look at
the way the two states get their clean-up
done and who pays for it.
Washington
has the Model Litter
Control and Re<:ycling Act. This Act
doesn't limit itself to one area of litter.
but covers all the items that are litter.
The Act is funded by a 1/2% tax on
litter-related industries: can manufacturers, bottlers, fast food restaurants,
grocery stores and others. The tax from

pays tax. Of course, our recyclers are
independent
and get no funds from
taxes. Those same independent private
recyclers would be driven out of business
if 61 passes. They simply could not afford to buy cans and bottles back. Now
they pay 23 cents a pound for aluminum.
With the enactment of Initiative 61 the
recycler would pay 5 cents a can at 24
cans per pound ($1.20 per pound) or over
S48,000 per 40,000 pound truck load of
aluminum cans. With current interest
rates for commercial accounts ranging
from prime rate plus 1% to prime rate
plus 2.5% they would pay up to 17.5%
for that $40,000 deposit money if a bank
would loan the money. Most could not
get that kind of money on the strength
of their business alone, they would need
outside help. You the taxpayer would be
that help.
I wiU finish by saying that I am opposed to a deposit law that would cost
jobs and kill our emerging private recycling industry. It is only a deposit law,
not a litter or recycling law.

Ever since the victory of Proposition
13 in California last year, the issue of tax
limitation and reform has gained grassroots support, becoming a major plank in
many campaign platforms. Initiative
Measure 62, a tax limitation act on
Washington ballots next Tuesday, follows in the wake of these nationwide
movements.
Unlike Proposition 13. this Initiative
does not subscribe to the guillotine
school of political tax reform. The authors and proponents of Initiative 62
describe it as "an act to limit state tax
revenues thereby limiting the rate of
growth of state government." Instead of
cutting existing taxes or trimming cur·
rent programs, 62 would place a limit on
future tax expansion. It would tie the
permitted growth rate of state tax revenut> to the growth of state personal
income averaged over three years. As
the average income of Washington workers increases in relation to the Gross
National Product, the indicator in this
case of income growth rate, their tax
burden would increase proportionally.
The limit on tax-generated revenue
does not apply to "general state revenues"-which constitute nearly 50 percent Df the state's total revenue. The
remaining revenue comes primarily from
business and occupational, and property
taxes, since Washington has no state
income tax and no sales tax on food.
General state revenues include the tax
on gasoline, one of the few taxes that
has shown marked growth over the past
several years. Also, excluded from the
limit are revenues from fees and services, including higher education institutions, and liquor excise tax revenue.
Opponent& of 62 fear that in the aftermath of the Initiative or in the event of
a recession. those r'!lvenues not covered
by the measure would increase in order
to of(set revenue losses from other

Washington's proposed Bottle Bill
(Initiative 61 on Tuesday's ballot) is
faltering under an onslaught o( distorted
information and big business money. The
only hope for its passage is if informed
and concerned people turn out in large
numbers to repudiate the outright lies of
the anti-Bottle
Bill forces. We urge
everyone in the Evergreen communityand anyone else who may read this-to
see through the falsity of the "Keep on
Recycling" campaign and votP "yes" on
Initiative 61.
As the chairman of tht> Association of
Oregon Recyclers says, "If the citizens of
Washington believe the ads of the No on
Initiative 61 group regarding recycling in
Oregon under the Bottle Bill. they are
being seriously deceived."
Many of us here at the CPJ have lived
in states that have passed Bottle Bills.
We also remember, as most people can,
a time before ··no deposit, no return"
throwaway convenience. We know that
the passage of Initiative 61 would not
waste energy, not put small stores and

foUowing the passage of Proposition 13.
College tuition, auto licensing and camping and huntihg fees all increased substantially.
Supporters of Initiative 62 claim that
state taxes are getting "bigger and
bigger." It may be true that taxes are

the limit would. be in effect, fiscal year
1981. estimated state tax revenue collections will be $141 million below that
amount of revenue permitted by the
initiative. This means that the legisla•
lure has already predicted a lesser tax
burden than 62 provides for and some

going up but in fact Washington's per
capita tax burden has dropped in relation
to the rest of the nation. Further. for the
ten-year period 1968-1977, Washington
ranked 43rd in the country for the
growth rate of per capita stale and local
taxes. In other words, the growth rate of
Washington taxes has already begun to
de<:linewithout the help of Initiative 62.
It is possible that tying the limit to
growth in personal income may result in
a limit that is greater than the amount
the legislature would spend in the absence of a limit. In (act, for the first year

fear that this discrepancy could cause
problems.
Senator A. N. (Bud) Shinpoch describes the problem in this way: "Too
often the maximum allowable expenditure becomes the minimum amount considered. This not only does not encourage efficiency, it makes it too easy to
justify spending 'up to the lid' rather
than making critical examination of programs for possible reductions."
The measure poorly defines circumstances that constitute the need for funding of emergency measures as declared

bars out of business, and not destroy
jobs. It is, on the contrary, and despite
the allegations of big business and big
labor, the most important and beneficial
initiative facing voters November 6.
The misleading arguments and expensive media over-kill used by Continental
Can and its mostly out•oi-state corporate
allies are a disgraceful circumvention of
a democratic society's need for free and
honest debate.
Undoubtedly,
many
people will think they are voting for
recycling and the health of the environment as they vote no on 61. Hopefully,
enough will see through the sham and
vote yes.
Do not be deceived. Let's reaJ.Jy keep
on recycling. Vote for the Bottle Bill.
VOTE YES ON 61!

cated money lo study litter control.) He
quoted a study commissioned by Indus♦
try for a Quality Environment in 1971
stating that litter in Washington had
been reduced 66% following the inlre>,
duction of the Model Litter Control Act.
Reuland also argued that stores and
distributors have no system for handling
returnables and it will therefore ..make
garbage dumps out of grocery stores."
Recyclers would be put out of business, while now "$96,000 worth of material is recyded at a profit under the free
enlerprise
system." Similarly, 1500
"skilled head-of-household"
and 3500
related jobs would be eliminated, only to
be replaced by "low-paying, part-time
jobs sorting bottles."
Reuland concluded, "It's a fire-the·
father and hire-the-son sort of bill ... It's
inflationary, it's a bad law for business,
for labor, and for consumers."
Paul Majkut replied that he "had
heard the same hysterical claims seven
years ago when the·lirst botUe bill failed
in Washington," and also when the bill
was proposed in Oregon. "It's hard to
say it can't work when it's working in six
differenl states right now."
Majkut quoted {rom Oregon Governor
Ayiteh's 1979 Bottle Bill Report that
"because of the Bottle Bill, Oregon has
had a net saving or 1.4 trillion BTU's per
year .. enough to supply the heating
needs o{ 50,000 Oregonians per year." A
quOte from U.S. Congressman James A.
Jeffords estimated "the energy savings
made possible by Vermont's deposit
legislation is substantial ... 708 billion
BTU's ol energy each year."' A U.S.
Office of Technology Assessment Report
figured that with the entire cycle ol
material and container
production,
delivery, washing, filling, transportation,
wholesaling, retailing, return and recycle
taken into account there wou]d still be a
20% to 60% net energy savings under
deposit legislation.
Majkut noted that in Oregon there had
been "a net increase o{ 365 jobs and
$1.600,000 in annual payroU ... and these
figures are public record. Where does
industry get it.s figure?"
Majkut refuted Reuland's argument
that Washington litter had decreased
66% following the introduction of the
Model Litter Control Act by quoting a
letter from Earl W. Tower, program
director of the Model Litter Control Act,
stating.·· ... this agency no longer uses
the I 971 figures as a baseline because
we do not feel we can defend them
statistically with confidence." Majkut
added. "We're not against the Model
Litter Control Act, we're saying let's
reduce waste and litter further.
Majkut further quoted figures that
90% of lhe bottles and cans in Oregon
were returned and recycled last year.
and 97% in Vermont, compared to only
25% in Washington. As well. Washington only recycles 35% to 40% ol its
aluminum-it threw out 8.25 tons in 1978
alone-while Oregon recycles 90%, the
highe&l recovery rate in the nation."
"Or~gon and Vermont showed no
increase in their beverage prices. prices
were actually lower, and beverage manufacturers in Michigan are under investiglltion by the Prosecuting Attorney for
price fixing," And a recent League of
Women Voter's survey showed that
returnable containers currently available
in Washington actually cost 20% to 35%
less than the "throwaways."

"And recycling is not dying in Oregon,
it's nourishing."
Mr. Majkut finished by saying, "The
bottle and can manufacturers have been
making enormous profits on 'throw•
aways' while taxpayers have to pay the
costs of energy and cleaning them up-it's time we transferred the social cosl.!i
to where they belong-the
manufacturers."
The questions afterwards were heavily
dominated by the anti-61 workers who
had prepared questions such as "Do you
think it is better to change things with
more laws and government departments
rather than education?" and "If you put
a deposit on cans and bottles, what's
going to stop you from putting them on
plastic bags and styrofoam cups?" Very
few Evergreen students asked questions,
possibly because of a lack ol technical
information on the issue.
To a question on why the opposition to
61 chose not to comply with the Fair
Campaign Practices Code, limiting spend•
ing on Initiative issues to a $13,000 limit,
Reuland answered, "We were under no
obligation to sign." Paul said the real
reason was obvious.
Currently the opposition group, The
Committee for Litter Control and Recycling, has $651,722.33, while the Citizens
for Returnable Beverage Containers has
$58,101.41. More than 80% of the anti-61
money has come from Out-of-state corpora lions. Many contributions
come in
$20,000 to S30,000 chunks, including
$65,000 from the Can Manufacturer's
Institute, $38,500 from Coca-Cola, $31,435
from Continental Can, $24,700 from
Rainier Brewing Co .. S22,000 from
Olympia Brewing Co., and $5,693 from
Adolph Coors Co.
Most of the Committee for Litter
Control and Recycling money goes to
advertising in the form of posters, shopping bags, stickers on beer and soft
drink bottles, radio and TV spota, and
extensive newspaper advertising. Recently their "Keep On Recycling-Vote
NO on 61" was amended to include the
blurb "paid !or by the Committee for
Better Control and Recycling, 114 Vine
St .. Seattle, Lloyd B. Robinson Chmn."
The blurb came in response to the threat
of a suit from the King County prosecutor's office charging violation of the at.ate
Public Disclosure Act by failing to mention the name and address of the spon·
sor. It turns out that Lloyd B. Robinson
is an executive officer for the Pepsi-Cola/
Seven-Up Bottling Co. in Seattle.
The League of Women Voters has now
endorsed Initiative 61. as has former
Oregon Governor Tom McCaU, State
Attorney General Slade Gorton, State
Senators Al Williams and Sue Gould,
State Representative
Donn Charnley,
Washington StaLe Grangemaster Jack
Silvers, Congressman Joel Pritchard,
The NW Forestry Worker's Assoc, Wash
Assoc. of Cities, REI, Washington State
Dairymen's Assoc. Wa. St. Farm Bureau,
Wa. St. Sportsmans Council, Jolene
Unsoeld. Don Bonker, John SpeUman
and many more.
More recently, The Daily Olympian
has opposed Initiative 61, arguing in an
unsigned editorial on September 26 that
the key issue was that the initiative
made recycling mandatory, "like sut
belts and safety eyeglasses," and thus
deprived citizens of their right to choose.
Voters will have the right to choose on
Nov. 6. Vote "yes" if you're in favor of
the Bottle Bill and "no" if you're against
it.

GROUND ZERO
By Ben Alexander
As taps sounded on Sunday night, and
the flag was lowered against a truly
technicolor sunset, thousands sttX>d out•
side the main gate at the Bangor Naval
Base on the Hood Canal. They had come
from across the nation to protest the
Trident nuclear missile system, and they
were intent on bringing home the message, "No nukes!" The action coincided
with simultaneous
demonstrations
in
Sunnvale,
CA, Ann Arbor,
Mich.,
Groton,
Conn., Washington,
D.C.,
Pittsburgh,
PA., San Francisco, CA,
Madison, Wis, New York City, and
King's Bay, GA.
The chiUy dusk culminated a day of
acfr.tities that started with songs and
speakers at Peterson's farm, two miles
down the road from the main gate.
SheUey and the Crustaceans opened the

march to the naval base's main gate. The
march proceeded in an orderly fashion,
mainly due to the impeccable organization of the rally. The organizers, Live
Without Trident
from Seattle,
and
Ground Zero, a Kitsap-based
group,
worked closely with the Kitsap County
Sherifrs Department to ensure a smooth•
running action.
Upon arrival at the naval baae's entry,
the protestors constructed Peace Conversion City. This consisted of many
exhibits, including a windmill, a solar
water heater, a solar-powered. amplifier
and other displays showing alternatives
to military spending. "We have to drive
home the fact that nuclear proliferation
must stop. It's a waste ol taxpayers
dollars because there are so many beneficial ways those billions could be spent,"
exclaimed one activist who had come all
the way from Montana.

rally, which was attended by an estimated 2500-3000 people, according to
sources inside the naval base. Bob
Bradock spoke about the support which
the Peterson's have given the anti-nuke
campaign. He continued by explaining
details of the legal light to stop a freeway from coming through their farmland, and urged everyone to contact Live
Without Trident (in the ERC) on the
Farm Legal Defense Committee about
contributions or volunteer help.
After a few more songs, the massive
crowd formed a column for the two-mile

The day of protest was attended by a
diverse crowd, including representatives
of the Seattle Catholic Diocese, Christians Against Trident, the Jesuit Volunteers, Crabshell Alliance, War Resis•
tor's League. and IWW. Evergreen was
also well represented
there as were
Seattle University and UW. Most ol the
crowd left at nightfaU and about 400
people spent the night outside the chainlink fence. After darkness fell, three men
from Montana hopped over the fence and
were arrested and issued citations for
trespassing.

The rattle of signs being ripped down
by security guards awoke the remainder
of the crowd on Monday morning. One
guard attempted t.o tear doWn a tent.
but he desisted when he heard the
screams of the woman inside. The protestors ran across the road to avoid
being arrested before they had planned.
Fully awake and assembled, the first
protestors scaled the barbed-wire fence
shortly before 9 a.m. Blankets and scraps
of carpeting protected them from the
vicious barbs. As they came down inside
the base, some demonstrators walked
around or sat down, while awaiti~g
arrest. Others tried to set up a tent. and
one group attempted to plant a spiderwort. which is a plant which mutates
visibly when exposed to radiation. Two
people attempted to climb a tree. but
only one or them made it. The other wa~
yanked down by his reel, but the first
one remained in lhe tree unlil 5:30 p.m ..
when security guards started to cut
away branches in an effort to get him
down. Rather than let them hurt the
tree. he decided to descend.
Awaiting school busses took the 109
arrested demonstrators to the nearby
gym for photographing and fingerprinting. They were issued "barring letters"
and citations for trespassing on federal
property. Many were made Lo wait in
the school busses for long hours, manacled and without food. It was not until
7 p.m. that everyone had been processed
and released. The reaction or all the
guards seemed quite positive; one, in
fact, said Lhat it was the best day he'd
had in years. Spirits were running high,
according to one or the 20 to 30 Evergreen students arrested at the action.
Arraignment or those arrested went

COUNTY GOVERNMENT IN QUESTION
By Andrew Lindsay
It has been said that the federal gov•
ernment has all the power, state govern•
ment has all the authority, and local government all the problems. Some say this
is especially true in Thurston County,
where population has skyrocketed in the
past ten years, st.ate and federal programs are layered on top of existing
county ones, and there are no clear lines
of authority in the increasingly bureaucratic county government.
Proponents of the Thurston County
Home Rule Charter, which is probably
the least understood issue on the November 6 baUot.. believe it will redistribute at least some of the state's authority
to the local level, and possibly some
fiscal power as well.
Essentially the charter is an attempt
to free Thurston County from the "Dillon
Rule," an 1872 State Supreme Court
decision tha

law says it may do. Thus if a county
wished to change its number of repre·
sentatives from three. as required by
state law, say to five, it would have to
go to the state legislature lo obtain
special legislation.
Home Rule reverses the "Dillon Rule ..
and states that a county under Home
Rule should have all powers not specifically denied by the Stale Constitution.
The charter places the administrative
positions of treasurer,
auditor, and
coroner under the charge of an elected
County Executive. This fuU-time official
would have many powers, including
authority over all offices except those
headed by other elected olficials, responsibility for making all departments
comply with the budget, and ability to
veto all legislation passed by the council
(though this could be overturned by a

2/3 majority or the council).
In addition to this new government
structure, the charter provides for citi1..en's initiatives (legislation inLroduced
by petition and vole) and referendum
(recall or legislation). Another change is
Lhat independent candidates could run
for county offices. which was not previously possible.
The charter has not met with univer~al acceptance. Many county officials say
1t goes too far. Commissioners t:ieorge
Barner and Del Pettit. who helped put
lhe freeholders on last year's ballot, now
are against the charter. They believe
that the County Executive position
should be appointed by the council to
~nsure cooperation and prevent paralyzmg power struggles.
Commissioner Woody Anderson says
that having council members be part-

District Courthouse in Seattle. Groups or
11-27 were arraigned on trespassing
charges that carry a maximum penalty
or six months and $500. Only one per•
son pleaded l{uilty: all other 108 entered
innocent pleas. Trial dates have not been
set. and it 1s unlikely that any further
action will occur before next year. There
is an information meeting for all those
arrested on Friday at 9 a.m. in the
North Auditorium in the Fede:-al Build

she says, and this shows in the record.

As anybody who's been riding the
Evergreen Bus lately is sure to know,
ridership is up to the point where bus•••
have been seriously overcrowded. In
order to determine what needs to be
done, the Bus System is conducting a
survey, available on the bus or at the
Information Center. Printed on the back
of the survey is a short newsletter about
what is happening temporarily to help
ease the overcrowding. Whether you are
a regular bus rider or not. you are en•

ASH WEDNESDA Yb
Near the Evergreen
campus is a
support group and spiritual community
which well OYer 90% of Evergreeners
either do not know about or choose to
ignore. This place is the Ash Christian
Center, funded by local churches and
Northwest denominations. It is located in
the Ash apartments, number 162. and is
open from 11 to 4 most evenings and
weekends. Students and visitors are
welcome to drop in during these hours.
The regularly scheduled events at the
center are a Wednesday communion with
the Reverend
John Gibbs. a local
Episcopalian minister, and a Wednesday
evening potluck at 7. Special events are
planned to bear on many of the problems
we race.
CPJ OPEN MEETING
The CPJ is still looking for people
with ideas, energy, and/or talent to
write, type, draw, plan, distribute and
wheel around the office in purple chairs.
Long hours, low pay (none actually), and
lots of advice and criticism from lots of
people. Open meetings every Monday at
noon in the CPJ Office by SAGA and the
vending machines.
CAREER PLANNING
After Evergreen: Investigating
the
Future workshop eeries for students
studying law, business. political science,
economics, and management and the
public intere1L First worksh<,p"Careers
and Employment" is an opportunity to
find out what jot., in those fields are like
from people who do them. November 7
in CAB 110 from I to 4 p.m. See Career
Planning & Placement, Library 1214, for
more information on this and other
workshops.

In a haphazard and irresponsible manner, and with a Nazi-like disregard for
either fairness or personal feelings, the
CPJ staff and a very small circle ol likeminded friends set out to evaluate the
Halloween performances
of some of
Evergreen's faculty.
Faculty evaluations are controversial.
The last lime the CPJ did them (9/13/79)
at least one teacher really felt he got it
below the belt. On the other hand, student trick•or·treaters
have a right to
know what they're getting into; because
of the close contact and unusual social
interaction of Halloween, the families
you call on determine much of the candy
you get.
Treats at faculty homes vary, from the
completely inedible to the most delicious
available anywhere. This Halloween
Guide to the Faculty is a compendium of
insight, intrigue and absolute enlighten·
ment. Let us not modify our efforts with
false disclaimers. The following words
are the absolute truth and actually
should be carved in stone and set into
the base of the clocktower. New stu•
dents need not take these special treats
and tasty morsels with a grain of salt
but should swallow them whole without
hesitation.
However. vou may wish to consult us
(x6213) for more depth. After aU, we're
. big-time newspaper editors who have the
power ol the press behind us and S&A
funding, so aren't we tough? In fact,
once they read this, we expect calJs from
the National Lampoon. So pleaae don't
tie up the lines.
To those faculty who are cast in an
unfavorable candlelight and made out to
be pumpkinheads by our prankishness,
we can only apologize for any hurt feelings or damaged reputations and reiterate that we leel they should just be glad
we didn't soap their windows and leave
flaming monuments
to immaturity
(wrapped in unused Orientation issues)
on their doorstep.
Bill Aldridge. Extremely unt:ritical of
even the worst costumes. Loves everything. Promised credit in Zen pumpkincarving and lrick•or•treating to those
deserving.
Lee Andereon. Dressed as a midsixties hippie, gives out cups of Kool·Aid
that must be spiked with something you
can't taste that really packs a punch.
Invited us in for a wild party which he
jokingly called a "test."
Gordon Beek invites everyone in to
view the "Odessa Steps" sequence from
"Potemkin" and the shower scene from
"Psycho," while serving cheap_ french
wine. After showing the onginal ..KingKong" he sends the pathetically sloshed
legions out the door with original
Rembrandts he somehow obtained from
the Louvre.
Craig Carl ■oa handed out warm
fuzz.ies and impromptu poems to those
whose costumes were most represent•
ative of their inner souls.
Stephanie Coontz was disguised ..
Madame Trotsky, sans icepick. Handed
out leaflets from the Socislist Workers
Party urging the boycott of Nestle's

candy and calling on trick-or•treaters to
organize and wrest control of Halloween
away from policemen, parents, and
candy manufacturers.
Leo Daugherty dressed up like a
filterless cigarette and hid in a cave out•
side his house snatching people he likes
out ol the darkness. Plying them with
coffee and Coca-Cola laced with aspirin,
he tortured them into playing bridge
all night.

Peter Elbow. Author of "Trick-orTreating Without Costumes."' Has you
eat some of every kind of candy with•
out stopping; later you come back for
the kinds you like.

Margaret Gribskov. Margaret dresses
up like a Siamese cat every ·HallowP.en
and stands in her front window sensuously blowing smoke rings and meowing
at passing trick•or-treaters.
Margaret
says she has plenty of candy this year.
Burt Guttman was weU-prepared, very
generous and friendly. His candy was
especially well organized. He is especially
good for rirst•time--outers and students
who are lost. Though he had the best
candy in town he didn't realize it and
kept asking if he could have done better.
Rainer Ha1en1tab was dressed as
"personal space." The soft lighl,jng and
numerous plants in his living room
formed a perfed context for our intimate
conversation. Rainer gave out grib bags
containing many different types of cand.v.
He explained that the variety of textures
and contrasting colors in each bag made
a much more pleasing visual statement.
Richard Jone■ was asleep on his front
porch, dreaming.
Was costumed as
Sigmund Freud doing an impression
ol Carl Jung.
Eric Laraon. Gives out shrunken heads
from the natives of Ti-Worma-Bom•Bek,
a suburban island in the East FaUusions.
The Ti-Worma-Bom-Beka feel that the
idea of Halloween is "cute" and want
more washing machines.
David Marr. As you enter David's
house you will notice a large Happy
Halloween written on his (always near•
byl chalkboard. Costumed as a freshman
radical intellectual, he attributes Hallow•
een to be a public invasion of his private
realm. Will inevitably give you a treat
with a long Greek name and an autographed copy of The Human Condition.

Mio-QUARTER
By R. Michael Henry
About this time every year. Evergreen
begins to go into the mid-quarter doldrums. People now know what everybody is taking in school, and how everybody's summer was. Conversations. at
the ~ginning of the quarter sometimes
going on for hours, are now limited to a
simple nod and acknowledgement. People
inevitably get caught up in their studies,
their exercising routines. their home
lives. etc. And now all the people who
they were buddy-buddy with only a
couple weeks ago, are mere acquaintances now. Ah, but leave it to this
'SlTange society of ours to come up with
some off-the.wall solution to this dilem·
ma. Enter the holidays.
The first one, of course, is Halloween,
which may simply be described as cheap
thrills. This is the one day of the year
where people are excused for acting
bizarre, and bizarre they do act. But it
seems as though the only reason for this
sudden surge of insanity, this sudden
lifting of social const.raints, is simply to
inspire a new topic for conversation:
"What did you do for Halloween?"
"Oh, I went to this party dressed as
a gorilla., and got wasted on tequila
and rum."
To which the other person inevitably
answers "ReaUy?" and goes into fita ol
laughter before he replies that be went

Tom Rainey was dressed as Zapata
and demanded that we redistribute our
candy and divide it equally. Yet he re·
fused to pass Q~ treats, calling the
practice uneconomical.
Gil Salcedo. Three blocks away from
Gil's house you can smell a curious
smoke. Upon approach. you can see Gil,
dressed in his Pyro-Salcedo outfit, joyously sloking the £ires under a mountain
of flaming, grinning pumpkins. Gil is into
the feral aspects of Halloween and is
known to give out glowing wax teeth
filled with hot Yukon Jack.
Pete Sinclair invites you in only to
spend fifteen minutes filling and lighting
his pipe. Will try to explain the classical
import of your costume but his discourse
soon becomes muddled in incessant
musings. Be patient. Pete will soon
emerge from his fog to draw a diagram
of a Mars bar and tell you to work on it.
Fred Stone gives out wormy, organically grown apples and dirty carrots.
No candy.
Kirk Thompson handed out snapshots
of costumes he liked and talked on the
mythological
meaning of Halloween.
Dressed as Carl Jung doing an impersonation of Sigmund Freud.
Byron Youtz was costumed as a Cartesian coordinate system. Made sure
that all trick-or-treaters'
selection of
candy was well balanced by requiring
them to go to the homes of a scientist,
an artist and a historian before present•
ing a skit or recitation on all one has
learned in one·s years of trick•or•
treating.
Only then did Byron give
any goodies.

to talk about. so thc_v go thl'lr s1•paratt'
ways. both feeling assured that th1·y do
inder-d haVl' something to talk ab~,ut for
a wN•k.
fn the end, Halloween 'is just another
cheap thrill along the road of many. and
the topic soon becomes old and outdated.
Ah, but look what's right around the
corner. none other than that feast of
feasts, Thanksgiving. So the conversa·
tions abound on what one is gomg to do
this Thanksgiving:
'"Well, I'm going to my grandma's. I
haven't missed a Thanksgiving down
there for the last ten years."
"Really'/ Well, my family lives back
on the East Coast, so J'm going to
have Thanksgiving dinner with a
couple of friends at my house."
Mere acquaintances undoubtedly find
it difficult to go past that st.age in con·
versation, but better friends will un•
doubtedly go on about their favorite

Thanksgiving. what they ALWAYS eat
for Thanksgiving besides the turkey, etc.
Of <'Ourse. nobod_\.mentions that usually
