TEACHING WITHOUT
TEXTBOOKS
To the Editors,
After reading and rereading the CP J
interview with Beryl Crowe and Burt
Guttman's letter to the CPJ I wish to
enter the debate. Some people believe
that textbooks are somehow necessary
for students to learn science. Unfortunately most textbook writers either
oversimplify to one end of a continuum
ti.e. the trivial end) or to the other end
\i.e. the dogmatic). Some • writers of
science
journal articles, review arti•
cles, monographs, and even textbooks ..
suffer from the phenomenological fallacy:
the mistaken belief that a description of
a difficult process must itself be difficult
to understand. Fortunately, enough good
science is written as literature so that
undergraduates can learn from it.
At Hampshire College, where I have
laught for the past nine years, lhe
biologists ha\'e learned to avoid, dis•
regard, and abjure textbooks of biology.
Since I have been one of the principal
advocates of this teaching strategy for
all liberal arls undergraduates, including
lhose who go on to graduate and professional schools successfully, I have
chosen lhree examples to illustrate the
value of leaching molecular biology from
lhe original literature. whenever possible.
Example 1: The microbiology course
taught by C. B. van Niel at Stanford
University between 1928 and 1965 was
(and isl one of the most famous biology
courses ever Laught. Van Niel used no
textbooks. taught entirely from the
original arlicles (or translations thereon,
and had those sources available on his
desk for the sludenls to read and think
about. 1He had no xerography: today, I
belie\'e, he would hand out copies wholesale.) His course was the model for the
enlire bacteriophage program (and subsequf'nt courses) at lhe Cold Spring
Harbor lab. where American molecular
biology came of age.
Example 2: The molecular biology
··module"" 1TESC terminology) that 1
leach at Hampshire to first and second
year Hampshire students has for the
first four weeks a reading list of 12
articles from the original literature (all
found in several excellent compendia of
reprinted articles; I use Conceptual
Foundations of Genetics), plus reading of
Schrodinger's What Is Life?, Watson's
The Double Helix. and other "historical''
pieces. The students demvnstrate their
masLery of the paradigm by further
reading in the more recent literature and
by writing essays upon lhe ideas and
techniques in that literature. (Since I am
not a molecular biologist I presume that
,cientists trained in that area could do a
better job than I do.)
Example 3: Ourselves. If we wish to
learn a new paradigm we may resort to
listening to lectures or reading review
articles but only know it when we have
both read and practiced the original
ideas. As Jaques Monod, the originator

of more of the reigning ideas in moder11
genetics than any other writer. bat
pointed out: "Direct confrontation with
nature is the only way to learn." Textbooks are, at best, two steps removed
from reality.
Those who wish to read and think
about this view of undergraduate education for the sciences might start by reading Epstein's A Strategy for Education.

CANINE IMPOSTER?
To lhe Editor:
I am writing this letter to somewhat
belatedly protest the letter published in
the CPJ on Nov. 1 under the heading
"Born Again Canine." That letter was
signed "Peanut Butter, Class of '71." I
feel obligated to expose the author of
that letter as an imposter-a fact which
should have been obvious to anyone
cognizant of the fact that Peanut Butter
(P. B.) graduated in 1974, not 1971. I am
in a particularly unique position to be
aware of that fact as I have been this
esteemed dog's closest associate for the
past nine years. Another dead giveaway
-though
not as widely-recognized-is
the fact that P. B. is, as they say. functionally illitterate: he has never learned
to read or write. (Reading and writing
weren't prerequisites for graduation in
the early, \He-as-education.
days of
Evergreen.)
I read the letter to P. B. in an effort
to solicit his comments. He looked at me
blankly through the first several words,
then laid his head down and went to
sleep. In any case I can say with certainly that he is a dog eminently unconcerned with fascism-and, more to the
point, he is unconcerned with the plight
of canines generally- with the exception.
of course, of himself. He is, as Bill
Aldridge may or may not have said in
his memorable presentation of P. B.'s
degree, a rugged individualist, possessed
of the All-American virtue of near com•
plcte self-centeredness.
Given these
qualities he would never have been
motivated to write such a letter, were
he capable.
I confess to a blankness comparable to
my dog's in attempting to discern the
undoubtedly
heavy meaning of the
letter's last paragraph. P. B. has never
been very religious (certainly not "born
again") and I feel rather relieved that he
isn"l obsessed with the "DOG as GOD'"
fervor with which the actual author

the implication that P. B. has a female

he haa never managed to develop a long·

Pool games are painstakingly long and

of balls. But with our newly computed

games go by markedly quicker. Furthermore, a lot of those old traditionalists

out of the running or lose interest
altogether, so there's more room and
time for us to play our newly devised

To the Editor,
As a person, woman. and 11tudent, I
would like to make a comment in regard
to the war between the sexes. E■pecially
since the editorial page of the CPJ is
ftlled with cold-war rebuttal -on this
touchy subject. There is a lot of sexiam
running rampant on both parts of the
sexual pendulum. Women reject men in
the name of oppression. Men resent
women for advancing their capabilities.
Each side blaming the other for the inadequacies of a time long past, we fail to
see that the true matter at hand is individual identity and recognition of our
present-day worth. This battle is not a
group battle. Ellen James was raped and
had her tongue cut out to silence the
injustice. The rapist didn't realize the
girl was old enough to write. Many
women had their tongues cut out in
sympathy to this poor child. Tbe idea
was, to say the least, idiotic. Why suffer
the consequences in group identity? Ju.st
as Jim Jones led bis lambs to the slaughter alter he pooled their intellect, so
shall the collective thoughts of men and
women haters lead them to death. The11e

ALTERNATIVE POOL

EVALUATIONSREVISITED·
By Ben Alexander
Since the mid-quarter doldrums set in.
the issue of evaluations at Evergreen
hu died down a bit, giving way to
juicier, more emotional subjects like the
red pen fanatic (an issue that you can
really sink your teeth into). However.
some new developments have come to
light concerning evaluations which merit
attention, e■ pecially with evaluation
week drawing near.
One point that has come up is that
students are not required to write: faculty
evaluations at all. Another point is that
student 1elf-evaluationa are not required
either. Yet another source say11 that
some teacher11 use form evaluations with
fill-in-the-blank comments! In fact, one
student charged that. except for one
paragraph, his evaluation last year wa.s
identical to one of his classmate',. This
last atartling bit of information caused a
mild uproar in the ollicel
AU these points run contrary to Evergreen's stated philosophy, "Evergreen
stresses cooperation and iaterebaa1e
between members of a learning community, allowing faculty and students to
work together in a mutual quest ..

the individuals involved of their very
individuality. Lets race it kids, to conceive a child, it takes one woman and
one man. Our bodies conceal one gender
and exhibit the other. But, our genes
still carry the memory of the less vivid
sex and it is up to the individual to bring
his or her body up to date with that lost
memory of conception. We are all responsible for making the most creative,
centered,
and well-balanced
person
possible. If everyone would separately
aim their goals at being a person, instead •
of looking for heads to sever and blame
for their inadequacies, maybe the war

office. The original appeared in the Evergreen Evening News: Perhaps the new
version is slated to appear in the future? Somewhere, sorr.et1me, someone may
walk up to you and say, "Smile ... you're out of t~e picture!"

(my bold lace: not theirs). Faculty
evaluations are a vital part of the "interchange" in our "mutual quest." They are
important enough so that they should
doubtlessly be required of each and
every student. Of course, words like
"requirement" have an ominous, evi
tone around here, and people are bound
to cry out that this idea is oppre58ive
and inflexible, although it is quite nece 99 ary.
As for the fact of form evaluations,
they are not only against the cooperati~e
learning spirit of the school, they are m
vulgar taste as well. A major feature cl
our structure is its Lack of grading, but
form evaluations debase the whole evaJ.
uation process into glorified grades. Any
student who is not receiving a thorough,
personal evaluation is simply being
cheated; no teacher has an excuse for
this type of action. Evaluations are one
of the most important aspects of an
Evergreen education, and deserve to be
treated as such. If a student reels
slighted on his or her evaluation, the
problem should be brought to the attention of the teacher or. if necessary. to
the Evergreen Council or the hearing
board. This type of problem may also be

taken to the deans, for they are responsible to evaluate the faculty annually,
according to the Evergreen Admin&
trative Code.
Many students have said that they are
afraid to criticize their teachers for fear
of receiving bad evaluations. A similar
attitude prompted (he Pilgrims to split
from England, and kept !di Amin in
power in Uganda for years; nor did Joe
McCarthy precipitate an atmosphere rl.
trusting cooperation among peers. If a
student can not criticize a teacher, who
can? There is something basically wrong.
All is not bleak, though. Byron Youl.2
recently charged a DTF to study the
issue of the evaluation process. He posed
some pointed questions to the task force.
including "What process would improve
the situation. . ?" as well a5 asking that
evidence be solicited about a number ol
charges against both faculty and students. Now is the time for students to
speak out and for anonymity to be guaranteed. We can only hope that the administration, faculty, and students will
take note of the many complaints. and
act on them effectively.

Tc AND TESC TEASED
Dear Editor,
This letter is about Tc. I've been
following his letters and I think I should
make known some things that he has
been silent about in his vanity.
I say vanity because of his want for
"Hi" as the school greeting. In his mathematical scheme Philips is equal to Hi
(P+H+I+L+I+P+S=

+9+!6+19=89
alphabetically. 8 and 9
are the H and I of our letters.), so he is
chuckling lhat his name is now immortal
at Evergreen.
And TESC is Tc on the outside with
"ease" (ES) on the inside. I know the
alumni association questions the , continued use of ''The" & it might be good
to drop it just to spite that revolting
revolutionary, Tc.
"Howdy" is also a spoken greeting. It's
reply could be "fourlike" since "D" is the
4th letter and likelihood is the reason for
verbal response.
For like,

'DTFs Deciphered
By Tim Nogler and Pam Dusenberry
All bureaucratic institutions encounte
policy and decision-making problems.
Evergreen, in the spirit of alternative
institutionalization, uses an innovative
method to deal with decision-making and
policy problems: the disappearing task
force IDTF).
A disappearing ta.sk force is a short·
term committee formed to propose policies and offer advice to decision-makers,
concerning one particular issue. D1Ts
disappear became they deal with issues
one at a time. This method of decisionmaking is an attempt to avoid unnecessary power being vested in standing
committees. Power corrupts, right?
Anyone can charge a DTF through the
Evergreen Council. (Yes, even you.) The
administrative code states: ..The Evergreen Council will provide consultation.
input and advice to assist in formulating
the charge. "
Actual DTF members volunteer or are
picked from among faculty, staff, and
students. People with particular expertise or interest in the issue under consideration are usually sought.
Anyone interested in working with a
DTF can fill out a voluntary service form
available at the information center. "It
doesn't take that much time to be on a

DTF, maybe a few houra a month," said
Pippa Coiley, moderator of the Evergreen Council. Also, one doesn't have to
be a full-fledged member to participate.
Anyone can attend DTF meetings and
pitch two cents into the process.
Selection of committee
members
happens in a variety of ways. Byron
Youtz described the selection process he
uses. "First, I check the voluntary service list; that is the existing mechaniam. ■
Another source be tape ia faculty and
students in various specialty areu. Since
the voluntary service file is usually
empty, Byron often frnda himaelf shorthanded. In that case, be will "grab warm
bodies."
Selecting committee members is not
the only problem in the proceaa. lnfol'mation on the format.ion and progress of
DTFs must be made available to members of the Ev.ergreen community, At
the November 21 Council meeting,
methods of posting times and locationa of
DTF meetings, along with information on
what issues are being studied, were
discussed. Rob Fellows suggeated posting information on a bulletin board next
to the information center, since access to
DTF news is currently limited. Maxine
Mimms pointed out that a new DTF
bulletin board would be lost among aU
the other bulletin boards on the second

Door of CAB. She suggested the council
conault Rainer Huenatab, Environmental
Design faculty member, on a meana of
displaying DTF information.
The college's administrative
code
requires that DTF informaUon be made
public, though it doean't specify bow. U
the information ia not made available.
then the aame people will end up charging and serving on DTFa. The council Is
currently discussing varioua solutions to
the information accesa problem. The
Student Information Network (SIN)
suggested by last spring'• atudy group
on Student Participation in DecisionMaking, Is one possibility. Other suggestions are the use of the Cooper Point
Journal, KAOS, and public forums.
So hang onto your seata, readers; here
comes a summar, of DTFs currenUy in
the worka. A DTF charged by Youtz
seeks improvements in the evaluation
process. This committee will investigate
the evaluation time ochedule, the use and
misuse of incomplete., and the process
by which students evaluate faculty.
Other DTFs charged recently by Youtz
will review the use of campua sbOl"eline,
and screen candidates for ·the Senior
Academic Dean position. Students are
needed to serve on these committees; if
you're interested,
call Pearl Vincent
at~OO.
Two DTFs charged by Dean Clabaugh,
reviewing space allocation and day-care
operations, are in progress.

Wine,Juice,andDTFs
By Tim Nogler
Provost Byron Youtz brought wine,
juice and his DTF charges to the November faculty meeting. Progress reports on
working DTFs, and an examination of
new charges were the first order of
the day.
One new DTF will screen candidates
for Senior Academic Dean. Will Humphreys, presently Senior Dean, finishes
his term on September 1 next year.
Then he hopes to go to Vancouver to
teach in the Evergreen outreach program.
The evaluation DTF charge drew a
comment from Humphreys after the
meeting. "Evaluations have been a nagging problem for a long time," he said.

''The problem is particularly bad at the
end of fall quarter, when graduating
students want their transcripts
as
quickly as possible." Faculty members
want more time to complete student
evaluations. "It didn't make me a popular
person, but rve withheld faculty mem•
bers' salaries until their evaluations
were finished."
"What is a reasonable time allowable
between the end of a quarter and finaJ
submission of evaJuations to the Regis•
trar?" the charge queries. Also, "What

about atudent's evaluation of the faculty.
The evaluation charge inquires about
this problem, "What are the difficulties
with the• current process?" and "How

The faculty meeting then turned to
other buainess. Will Humphreys reported
on progress in the hiring of two faculty
for the maaters program next fall. Applications are being accepted through
January 1, 1980, and the faculty will be
hired by the end of January. "Predominantly, the program will be taught by
people already -here," Humphreys commented. Guy Adama and Ruaa Lidman
will help coordinate the program, he aaid.
An old business item was partially
resolved. The discussion concerned
student enrollment in modules. The
Deans' groups proposed that students be
allowed (on their own prerogative) to
enroll in four quarter hours of mods
unrelated to their program theme, per
4uarter.
The faculty amended the proposal to
"In exceptional circumstances, faculty
may allow students enrolled in f:ull•time
programs to take up to four quarter
hours of modules unrelated to the program theme." No decision was reached
about students doing individual contract&

At the meeting, new pool hours were
reported. The council had relayed complaints of B1fim team domination of
prime time lo Pete Steilberg, Pete rearranged the hours to aecommodate
non-team swimmers.
Monday through Friday, the pool
opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 8:30 p.m.
From 8:80 to 4:30, five lanea are open to
the public. with -the awim team uaing the

for the swim team between 4:30 and 6.
Two lanea are open from 6 to 6:30. Tbe
whole pool Is open between 6:30 and
closing. The diving well stays open aU day.
Following the pool announcement, the
old farm house controversy was revived.
With the completion of the new structure, the old farm house faces demoUtion.
Dave Wallbon, Director of Facilities,
estimated that the old farmhouae would
require about 120,000 in renovation to
meet the county building standanla. He
said the houae is unsafe, and wouldn't be
worth renovatinc, Several student car&,

house would be a waate of good apace.
The original agreement with which the
new farmhouse waa built wu that the
old house would be torn down with the
completion of the new one. In vieW of
that agreement. the council carried a
motion affirming that Wallbon'a decision
to demolish the old house wu made with

The Heart of Apocalypse
by Tom Jonea
The 70mm veraion of Apoealypoe Now

Doora blow the jungle leeches out of the

It takes awhile for a film to clear its
throat. ao to speak. and give the audience a few momenta to auapend disbelief
and to alide into Fantaayland. After
staggering you with • majeatic blow,
Apocalypse fails to follow up.
The scene abrupUy ahifta to Saigon,
the first of many crude tran1i\ions.
Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) awaltena
in a hotel room, realizing, to his chagrin,
that he'a back in civilization: hot ahowera,

Willard mlssea the jungle; he wu on to
something out there. Tbe war, bad u
war Is, Is not a completely black iaaue.
The war baa been the moet exhlllrating
experienee of his life and in it he aenaes
something larger than life. Civilization,
with its illusion& and creature comforta
haa obscured true meaning. It bu lied to
Willard.
Red-eyed, Willard aluga down SOllle
whiskey and performs an eerily catlike
martial arts dance meant to show you
that he has the jungle in his blood. The
CIA sends for Willard. They bave a
mission that will take the captain and
the audience into the heart of darknesa.
The film, hued on Joseph Conrad's
novella, TIie Hout of Dorla,-, attempts
to break new ground, lighting into the
1980'• with new rules. The traditional
plotlines are acrambled. lnatead of moving logically from A to B to C, Apoealypoe
presents the beginning, and then atops
to show off.
We get B-1, an air attack on a suapected Viet Cong village. It Is a remarkable experience, convincingly portraying
the fiavor of Vietnam, yet inatead of
being satisfied with a spectacular asaault
scene, and stopping there, we are given
a little mor.,_.too much: Robert Duvall,
in a cowboy hat leada the air assault
with a troop of attack helicoptea,abroadcasting symphonic music. Duvall tells us
that he loves the smell of napalm and

that it smells like victory. He walks
around rhapsodizing about surfing waves,
oblivious to mortar attack. He doea this
very convincingly, but it is cuteneu, it
is contrivance pure and simple. Besides.
Willard waa going to take us into the
heart of darkness, remember ... liter&•
ture and philosophy. Come on, hurry up,
let's gol
B-2: the tiger in the jungle scene. This
~ very scary but it does nothing to
further the plot: it was just one of those
wacky things that probably happened in
Vietnam. Come on, literature
and
philosophy.
8-3 is the water skier scene juxtaposed
with Seaman Clean jiving to "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones. It's a real
wowzer and leads to B--4:the USO show
in the proverbial middle of nowhere.
Playboy bunnies are flown in to entertain Gia as they dance to "Suzie-Q"
they nearly trigger a riot. This leads to
B-6, the last American outpost scene, an

acid nightmare times 1000. Hey, the
movie is almost over. What about Lit•
erature and philosophy?
Willard mollifies us. He says, "The
Viet Cong eat rice an~ rat meat. There
are no USO shows for them, only defeat
or victory." His narration attempts to
keep the plot objective before usthe mission.
Periodically Willard reads from the
dossier of Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando).
Willard's mission Is to kill the Green
Beret, whose name is retained from the
Conrad story. Here, the ivory trader is a
brilliant Harvard soldier headed for a
slot on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, until he
attempts to understand the nature of
war and goes mad. Here is why: Kurtz
has formed a native army and taken the
war into his own hands. He is very good
at this and wins scores of terrorizing
victories over the Viet Cong. The command generals in Saigon don't know
what to make of Kurtz. He refuses to

There is no standard procedure for
evaluation writing as far as I can find
out. This is fine in that it allows plenty
of freedom, but some basic knowledge
about what queations to deal with in
them and how to cope with evaluation

many people. (Most people don't know,
until they make a mistake, that they are

When I talked to some new students
about their upcoming evaluations, many
were very vague. Moel of them said they

to point to a lack of general
understanding of the ideaa behind the

When I tracked down the information

small, colorful inimeographa. First wu
Peter Elbow'a "Suggestions to Studenta
for Wriling Sell-Evaluationa,"
which
includes ideu to keep in mind, questiom

In the bright orange pamphlet "Student Handbook(for paperworkjazz)" we
are given such rules for evaluation writing as "leave 1/, inch margin all around
... Type only. Use new or very dark
ribbon. No script type," and "Be careful
of spelling, grammar and punctuation-these records will be microfilmed and
included in your Official Transcript."
From the Third World Handbook we
get this advice:
"The evaluation process at the end of
each quarter should involve discussion of
what an evaluation is, its significance.,
and how to write one. You will probably
write a self-evaluation, faculty evaluation, and a program evaluation. Before
any evaluation becomes official, arrange
an interview with your faculty to discuss,
exchange and alter the evaluations;
always insist on the right to read and
discuss the evaluations before they are
turned in as the officia.Jones. Make sure

They send Willard to kill him.
Dennis Hopper, a spaced-out photo
journalist with a neck fuU or 36mm
cameras, is living in K urtz's ghostly
village. His performance, the mad foil to
Kurtz, is contrived and pretentious. but
Brando S&ves the scene and redeems
much of the movie.
As Kurtz, he has been swallowed by
the central darkness in man's primeval·
soul an abyss of passion, lust and superstition. He can never return to civilization. His life consist.'I of intermittent
rever, crawling skin, and gibberish
poeticizing. He is committed to the vision
that evil lies at the heart of everything
and will use Willard to obliterate the lat
cancer of his soul. You learn this from
reading Conrad; by watching Apocalypse
I can only guess at motivation.
Brando performs with inspiration and
courage. Fiercely independent, his performance stands alone above a very
talented cast that seems to have succumbed to confusion. Brando has the
magic to rise above the script while the
others. are had by it. Sheen resists and
fights rOr his integrity. Duvall is obedient
to deranged direction and brashly makes
a fool of himself, while Hopper is had
stupidly. without knowing better. But
the les!ter characters are generally good
and survive the sla.;hings of the film
editors remarkably. •
The tcansjtions are difficult. Director
Coppola has arrogantly
violated the
traditional story line to show us some
crazy pet documentary scenes. These are
magnificent scenes but they don't add up
properly-cuteness and profundity do not
mix, and more than that, Coppola "profund ity" 1s only semi-profundity,
or
maybe you could call it sham profundity.
This new direction film smells a lot like
Hollywood to me, not the daring experiment I read about in favorable revi~ws.
..The Deerhunter"' came to us with much
less ballyhoo and it scored a success by
an accumulation of punches. Apocalypse
has all the grand blows, but it is easy to
hold your ground, watch the film stead·

about when they review your credentials."
A current student. Julie Huber, is
trying to fashion a pamphlet for new
students dealing with such ideas as
seminars, journals, and evaluations. or
evaluations, she says:
"Should be discussed at the beginning
of each program or quarter if there are
new students, and conferences made at
the end of each evaluation period to
exchange rough drafts for those that
wish it. Student evaluations
should
include a description of what the student
attempted to learn in relation to the
program (and the program description)
and how well they did, from both points
of view, student and !acuity."
Further information and advice is
available in the Academic Advising
Resource Guide, commonly called the
AARGI catalogue. This Is the moot oomprehensive material available in one
place; its sections on self-evaluations,
faculty evaluations of students, and
student evaluations of faculty may not
make you see the light but they will help
you struggle through the darkneas.

process, supplemented by generalized
hints and advice. The real importance or
evaluations. and insightful advice on
what to say in them, can probably only
be conveyed to new students by more
experienced students and by the raculty
themselves.
Is the evaluation .system being slighted
under the pressure or an increasing
influx of grade-habituated "traditional'·
students? Or has this kind or vaguf'ness
always existed here? Especially, what is
being done to encourage and enforce the
evaluation system as an integral aspect.
of the Evergreen philosophy and system?
These are the kinds or questions that
will have to be asked if effective evaluations are not to go the way of Evergreen units and personalized.

KAOS GRANT
AWARDED
KAOS-fm has been awarded a $14,800
grant to plan for the extension of its
public radio service to residents of Grays
Harbor C-Ounty.The award is one of six
granted in Washington State by the
National Telecommunication and Information Admini1tration's Public Telecommunications
Facilities Program,
whkh seeks to provide access to public
television and radio service for as many
unserved areas in the courfty u possible.
Working under the direction
of
KAOS's Dave Rauh, volunteers from the
county have already begun work on a
public radio needs survey of community
leaders and of the general public. U that
study indicates an adequate demand,
KAOS chief engineer Greg Falxa will
then evaluate alternatives for extending
the 400-watt station's signal into Grays
Harbor County.
Once a technical plan ia completed,
KAOS development coordinator Toni
Holm will submit a new proposal to
NTIA for additional construction funds.
A final report on the initial six-month
effort will be completed by Johnston and
submitted to NTIA next March.

By Chria W. Nelson
Hallucinogenic mushrooms were the
topic of a recent conference entitled
Muahrooms I, held Nov. 2-4 in Siltcooe
Station, Oregon.
The conference was sponsored by
Myco-Media, a non-profit educational
organization farmed thia year by a group
of Northwest-based amateur mycologista,
Myco-media co-foundera Paul Stameta
(from TESC) and Scott Jeffreys, Jim
Jacobs, and Gary Menaer chose a perfect
place for the conference at a boy scout
camp hall way down the Oregon coasL
A variety of psilocybes such as cyan•
eacea1, baeocynia, N1DDeneente, ..bftmetuia, (an "overgrown-looking" Liberty Cap) plus other hallucinogenic,
poisonous, common and edible mush·
rooms are native to this area.
Lectures >were held by Myco-Media
founders, and well-known guests from
the mycological community were invited.
The afternoons were set uide for forays
into nearby foresta and fields.

Dr. DanielStunz
Dr. Daniel Stunz, a renowned mycologist from the University of '\Vashington,
now in his 50th year of mushroom
gathering, started off the lecture series
with a talk: on general mushroom identification. He was followed by Dr. Michael
Beug, a faculty member and a sponaor
for mycological research here at TESC.
After their talks a foray was held and
mushroom identification tables were
set up.
Following the foray, Kit Scates from
Idaho, who is a member of the Pugel
Sound Mycological Society, led a mushroom identification workshop using slides
she had taken and a "Pictorial Key lo 55
Genera of Gilled Mushrooms" she devised for the Pacific Northwest Key
Council.
The lectures and forays from tbis point
focused on hallucinogenic muahrooms.
Jim Jacobs presented a slide program
and talk on mushroom-gathering trips he
had made in Mexico.

Scott Jefferys, Paul Stamets, Jim Jacobs, Dr. Gaston Guzman, Gary Menser, KitScates
l>,ul Stameta,

renowned author of
uid tllelr Alllee,
presented his extenaive research on the
Strophariaceae faipiiy and illustrated the
mushr90m life cycle with slides he made
using the Zeiaa Photomicroecope and the
scanning o'iec!,ron microscope.
J ere!'IY Bigwood, TESC student and
co-author of T-en ■retl and Polloc:ybla:
Mac!•·Maaluwm Growen Gulde dis•:ussed the chemical composition in the
psychtropic
species with particular
emphasis on psilocybin, psfloc'in and
similar analogues.
Gary Menser, a resident of Siltcoos
Station, gave an overview of hallucinogenic and poisonous mushrooms in the
Northwest based on an identification
booklet he authored, Halluclno1enie
and Poiaonou1 Muahroom, of the Nortbweot. Menser also helped with gelling
permission from several farmers for
participants to gather in their fields.
Dale Leslie, specialist in Light Microecopy, led a microscopic identification
workshop for those who brought specimens to be examined.

Pmlocybe lli:..iu-,

Guest speaker Dr. Gaston Guzman,
from The University of Mexico, Mexico
City, presented a synopsis of his long•
awaited monograph on species classification and identification of Peilocybe
mushrooms. Dr. Guzman pointed out
that research was still being done in this
field and that more psilocybes are being
discovered and classifications are still
being revised.
Dr. Steve Pollock, author of Magic
Mushroom Cultivation, discussed his
experiences and showed slides relating
to cultivation of many different hallucino-

genie mushrooms.
Head grower for a commercial Agar•
icus mushroom (supermarket variety)
operation in Vancouver, B.C .. Scott
Jeffreys, presented a slide program on
large-scale cultivation.
TESC graduate and sponsor of previous mushroom conferences, Jonathan
Ott, spoke in place of Dr. Andrew Weil,
who was unable to attend. Ott, the
author of Hallucinogenk Plants of North
America and co-author of Teonanacatl,
spoke on the history of hallucinogenic
mushrooms from Aztec times to the
present.
Following the lecture series was a
question and answer panel discussion
conducted by some of the speakers. One
important question involved the legal
aspects of mushroom hunting and cultivation. The panel noted that al present
the regional Drug Enforcement Admin•
istration has stated that the mushrooms
are not illegal and in fact do not contain
psilocybin. Most people who are arrested
for gathering mushrooms are arrested
ror trespassing.
Panel members sug
gesled that mushroom gatherers
be
discrete about their activities in order to
avoid unnecessary legal conflicts.

The Mushrooms I conference was verv
successful. The continuation of thfs
annual event is an important educational
resource for those involved with mush•
rooms of &II varieties. The promotion of
this knowledge is of great benefit to all
of us. especially here in the mushroom
fields and forests of the Northwest.

Continued from page 1

Institute of Health adopted a ■et of regu•
lations apecifying the type■ of experimen ti allowed and containment procedures to be followed. Uoder the NIH
guidelines, local bio-safely committees
have formed to oversee research. Many
critics, however, see the safely aspecta
of the .,..,,earch- io-leu- distw bing tltan
the implications of Increased knowledge
in genetics.
At the meeting at Ever1reen
on
Nov, 14, Fr. Seidel and Dr. Kutter diacu.aaed the ■ocia.l and ethical upecta of
genetic engineering with 1tudenta and
people from the Olympia community. Dr.
Kutter outlined technique, currently
developed, and how they might be ap,
plied in treating genetic diaorden 1uch
as sickle cell anemia, and Tay Sachs
disease. She also raised the specter of a
revived eugenlca movement. citing the
strong national movemetit in the United
States in the early 1900's, which led to
restrictive immigration law■ hued on
national origin and race. (Critics fear a
revival of the search for a "superior"
race, utilizing new techniques to insure

desired characteristic■.) Father Seidel
raised many ethical queation1, uking
"Is human conscioU1neu evolved to the
point where we can control our own
evolution?" and "Who ahould control
genetic engineerin(I" In the diaeuuion
tht followed, the audience ,ajaed many
specific concerna, particularly over the
political and economic dangera.
-·1JrC0111melltillfon the poiiiilble applicatioM of genetic engineering, Dr. Kutter
staled that 1he expected uperimenta in
gene therapy within G years. (She alao
said that one of her 1tudenta had suggeated "introducing to human ■ kin the
genes for chlorophyll and other genes
involved in the direct convenion of the
sun to energy,.. as a solution to food
shortagea.)
Several people es.preued concern over
commercialization of genetic research
product,. Two corporation,
recently
applied for patenta for bacteria which
have had the. gene for in1ulin in-ted.
These bacteria may eventually so"• u
biological lactorie1 in the commercial
production of iMulin. Thua far, induatry
has voluntarily formed safety committeea
and built containment facilities. One con-

cern was over "the economic pressures
which will begin to build with corporations as they patent genetic tecl}niques."
Most people are concerned over
whether individuals can be made aware
of the issue1. In response to one student's fear that "people are not willing
to face every issue that needs to be
looted al," Dr. Kulter also expressed
concern, but saw hope in the fact that
the iaaue• are being discussed prior to
fuli-d♦v&lopment-of-'the-ffffitiquttc

"There ii the start of a national preuure
and a national awareness that wasn't
there at all fifteen yean ·ago. I • feel
scared, but I don't feel that there'a no
chance.''

The strongest preaures for the rapid
development of genetic engineering may
come from those who view the potential
benefits as loo strong to be delayed. Dr.
Kutt.er, who was a member of the com•
mittee that drew up the· re1earch guide•
lines, said that she had· been accused of
slowing research that may save lives;
"We are playing God ... By deciding
what's hazardoUI and what' ■ not, by
being very restrictive and slowing down
research.-tbat..- DIA¥ mean that. we've
blocked for two years the cure to a particular disease. J worry more about going
too fast. There are two sides to the coin
unfortunately.
Technology is a scary
stallion to ride."

JOKE OF THE WEEK
The Shshmobile
When the Shah of Iran changed
employment earlier this year he
cancelled an order for a $245,000
Cadillac which according lo its makera,
'"does everything but fly, swim and
make you a cup of coffee."
Tbe car, which ia apparently too
wide for the roads in Mexico, where
the Shah currently
live,, comes
equipped with machine gun mounta,

tear gu vents, radar, and anti-kidnapping electronic 1ystem and a gadget
that can spill 25 gallon• of oil on the
road behind, to give pursuers the 1lip.
CCS Communications Control, Inc.,
which outfitted its e:1:pensive extru,
is trying to unload the car on another
wealthy buyer who has need of its
accoutrements. It describe, the car
as "for the man who has everythingind wanta to keep it."

The main 1how ended with Del

which Raitt treated on her 1977 rel.eue,
Sweet Forsfve11e11. The band's new
saxophonist soloed on this number, In an
attempt at the Gerry Rafferty success
formula. The saxophone proved to be •
poor aubstitute for WW Scarlet's N&rlng
harp playing on the studio venion. Still.
Bonnie's voice really shone tbr1,ugh
thia one.
Following a standing ovation, Bonnie
came back for four encores! Again she
showed her Nnaitivity to loeal crowda by
bringing on Seattleite Danny O'Keefe to
sing on a John Hall tune about the
dangen of nudeu power. This song
formed the theme of the five days of
concerts In New York City by M.U.8.E.
(Muaidans United for Safe Energy), In
which Bonnie is an active member.
Throughout the show she made nwnerou. pluga for the anti-nuclear movement.,
supported by proceeds from Bonnie Raitt
t-1hirts. Other encores Included Jacbon
Browne's "Under the Falling Sky," and
one of my favoritea, "Girl. You've Been
In Love Too Long," which fin&llybrought
the latkadaisical audience to it.a feet.
When Bonnie Raitt lint. started appearing at Jack'• near Harvard Square,
in the early 70's, her abow1 consisted
mostl.y of blues by the likes of Robert
Johnson and Rev. Gary Davis. She would
often show up armed only with an
acoustic guitar. with a notorious Barcu.
Berry pickup, and a bottleneclt slide. Her
lint album featured Chicago bluesmen
Junior Wells and A. C. Reed, u well u
bar banda from Cambridge and Minneapolis, and her old friend Freebo. C.._.
sics like "Watkin' Bluest and an oeca1ional Sippie Wallace tune aet the mood.
Since that time. Bonnie baa moved
from Cambridge to L.A. and from blues
to hard rock and roll. She picks up her
slide lea and leu often, and background
vocals are more and more prominent.
The only member left from her original
band is Freebo (though you can still
cat.eh Pete Bell and Chris Rhodes playmg
the Boston bar circuit). The overall
sound now la slicker, more L.A.-inlluenced. The new Ip features Waddy
Wachtel and Danny Kortcbmar, studio
musicians who never travel. though they
mark the studio sound of Jackson
Browne, the Eaglet and Warren Zevon
u well u others. This is an unwelcome
trend, for it hidea the strengtb..s of
Bonnie's voice behind a technically pl"Oficlent but extremely bland form of L.A.
mediocrtty. This Is a far cry from the
beautiful aeoustic guitar on "Bluebird."
the Steve Stills tune from her first
album.
Still, Bonnie proved on Monday night
that her voice bu never been better.
She has the best rapport with the
audience of any popular performer rve
ever aeen, with the poasible exception of
Ario Guthrie. In the put, she bu been
knowu to appear on stage 10 drunk that
■he could barely stand up, u another
reviewer pointed out. Lucltily, tbia wu
not the cue at all thia time. Her power.
fu1 vocala and roelting guitar showed that
she la still holding out for her own way.
Perhape. now that she bu an album OIi
the chart.a, ehe will renew her lnterea in
blues and acou.Ue guitar and fonake the
profitabl&-but-shallowL.A. aound.
