THE

LaMancha is emotional performance
By Sharrcn Coontz
Man of La Mancha opened last Thurs-

day night in TESC's Experimental
Theater and plays again tonight through
Sunday.

To my mind

it's

one or the

greatest musicals ever written and the
Evergreen cast, under Ainara Wilder's
direction. does it justice.
The story takes place during the Span•
ish ln4uisition
when an author. Cervan•
tes, is thrown
into prison
with his
servant for crimes against the church.
iCervantcs
had been working as a t.ax

collector and had tried to foreclose
against a monastery.) The other prisoners hold a mock trial and threaten to
takf' all his possessions,
including a
manuscript he's written. As his defense.
he stali{es his play, using the prisoners
for his cast. What follows is an t>loquent

plea fn1 he use of imagination and illu-

sion to transcend and even transform the
world's ugliness.
Faculty member Chuck Pailthorp has
the demanding lead role of Cervantes
and his main character, Don Quixote de
La Mancha. His powerful voice is equal
to the magnificent music, and his interpretations of these difficult songs sensitive and moving. He's occasionally a little
too doddering for my liking, but in
general, his performance is energetic and
perceptive.
It's more difficult to review Donna
Caires' portrayal of Aldonza, the lead
female. because she'd been injured in the
previous day's rehearsal. So perhaps her
lack of power and spirit was due to the
sheer pain of having to move and talk
and sing while injured. Although her
voice is not strong, its quality if lovely
and her intonation true whether in the
upper or lower register of her songs.

and I understand that she now wears a
wireless microphone and can be heard
much better than on opening night. I
hope she has also allowed more of
Aldonza's fiery temperament to flash
across that stage.
l'm not going t.o list alJ the cast members and praise them individually, although it's my opinion that they all deserve it. But I do want to mention a real
standout. Paul Mastrangelo, a fine tenor
who moves through a variety of roles
with the ease of an experienced actor.
His voice is heard leading the chorus in
several places, on key and with nice interpretive style.
I had lots of quibbling with the direction of Man of La Mancha, I'm afraid. In
fact, the opening scene put me in a panic
that my favorite play would be ruined:
In a dungeon, where low-life murderous
I hieves and cutthroats
were ready to

A dramatic increase in theft and vandalism in campus housing, highlighted by
a sink being ripped out of a public bathroom and thrown from the roof of
A dorm, prompted an all-housing meeting on the evening of April 3. Sponsored
by the Housing office, the meeting ·was
int~nded to provide a'n open dialogue
between staff and residents in the hope
that an effective strategy
could be
worked out to solve the problem.
The meeting was well attended, with
100 students, as well as Housing and
Security stall. Ken Jacob, Direetor of
Campus Housing, facilitated, and began
by outlining the events that led to the
meeting. Since late March there have
been a number of crimes committed in
and around the dorms, including fire
ho&eaand extinguishers being damaged,
doors to buildings broken, a rise in theft
from student rooms (many of which were
locked). and other objects, such as televisions, taking flight from the roof of
A dorm. The repair cost has reached
S3,000 for damage in the dorms, and- an
additional $2,800 in damage caused by
vandals in parking lot F. near the dorms.
Jacob's voice had a desperate tone as
he explained that one of the main
reasons for calling the meeting was to
"figure out what to do next" about the
rising trend of problems he and his staff
are txperiencing.
Everyone at.tPnding wu attentive and
seemed concerned. When Jacob solicited
comment from the group he was met
with a series of questions and suggestions. many of which concerned the
placement, in March, of a uniformed
security guard in the dorms. Jacob
stated that since 'ehat time vandalism
had increased markedly, and unlike the
period preceding, included Evergreen
..,tudents being responsible for most of
the damage. Previously, all those caught
were from off-campus.
By only having a uniformed guard, an

with student patrols being reinstated

concurred with this and said that he and

will probably be in addition to the uniformed guard.

''Chicken Dinner'' causes feathers to fly
By David Innes
'Tm going to smash it if it's not out of

women to Evergreen Security Chief Mac
Smith.
Several onlookers objected, asking if
someone shouldn't £ind out what it was
about. One spectator suggested that it
might be one of the pieces unveiled by
the Foundation
for the Vis·ual Arts
(FOVA). "It's art. You can't just smuh

"This isn't art, it's an att.ack. It makes

and argument was spirited.
The subject of all the controversy wu

steam tunnel attess by the lecture hall
on red square. An obese female form
with a chicken head sat nude and oblivious to the clothed figure looming over
her, its rubber-gloved band holding a
meat cleaver high, the other hand cover•
ing the eyes as it seemed to hang ita
head in shame.
Unable to find the artist, Smith bad
the piece removed to the motor pool '

I know we want to set up the Spanish
motif, but if the audience hadn't realized
from the title that we were in Spain,
surely they would have within the next
three minutes from the dialogue. Fortunately. that didn't ruin the play, nor
did the several "bits" thrown in by minor
characters to upstage the major ones,
although they distracted plenty.
But I don't want to overemphasize
these complaints. Considering the fact
that I've seen this play at least eight
times, including twice on Broadway, and
that it's my favorite musical, I came
away complaining much less than expected. Some of the music gave me
goose bumps, some of the lines made me
laugh and others made me cry. the sets

could come and pick up the sculpture
any time. "It's prE'tty clear that if it's not
moved the artist won·t be able to ~how it
anywhere," he said.
Women's Center !lead Sande S:rn,!t·r'said, "If you find the artist, tell him I
want to talk to him and to pleas('
call me."
When finally located, th-e artist turned
out to be a woman, Wendell Jeffries,
who created the piece as a winter quar

pants David Walker and John Lysak.
Jeffries explained that the sculpture
was taken out to "get some su11" before
being discarded. When they returned to

been thrown away. Upon hearing of the
confiscation of the -piece, however. she
exclaimed, "What? That's outrageous:
it's really funny." When asked if she was
aware that her piece represented violence against women. she said that the
chicken was cutting its own head orr. "Ir
someone sees that as violence against
women, that"s their problem."

MURPHY STRIKES

Editor's note: We thought we'd give the
announcer with the accent a chance to
reply. He says. by the way, that the
baby's crying must have bothered Karen
and Dan·s hearing, too. because it wasn't
him or his accent, but rather the series'
faculty advisor, who asked them lo leave.

Dear Editor,
So you thought you were going to
have a nice day until you arrived at the
CAB entrance with your arms full, and
the first two doors that you tried were
locked? Good! That is exactly what we
intended. It is time that all you lovey•
dovey, bubbles and smiles, love·can-savethe-world, optimism freaks learned what
the real world is like. Our first goal i3 to
lock at least one door in every entranceway in the school (especially on Monday
mornings). But we won't stop there! Oh,
no- on the contrary, we will also pull
such pranks as putting fake out-of-order
signs on Lhe cigarette machines, sabotag·
ing the movie projector on Friday afternoons, and spilling oil on known roller•
skating ro..ites.
Just remember: "You are a nuke of
the universe, you have no right Lo be
here. and whether you know it or not,
the universe is laughing behind your
back. Give up!'"

P.S. While you were reading this, you
just missed the bus.

Dear Karen and Dan.
There are a lot of events at Evergreen
where a baby's cry is very acceptable.
At Shakey's
a baby's cry or someone
laughing against the content of the
movie is part of the deal. But the
Wednesday Academic Film Series has a
different purpose. A baby's cry will be
m unne<'essary disturbance, whether the
'ilm is silent or not. Those who were
iortunate
enough lo see BED AND
SOFA will probably never get the
chance again. Silence was a very im
portant factor in getting the most out of
that opportunity. I'm sorry that you
were unable to stay and see the film but
we do have responsibilities to each other.
I love to see babies in public.
Sincerely.

IS SILENCE COLDEN?
Dear Editors,
I would like to relate an incident that
happened at the Wednesday night movie
in Lecture Hall I on February 27. My
baby started crying during the silent
movie BED & SOFA. The program
announcer with the accent came to me
and said. "If the baby does not stop crying. you have to leave." The baby didn't
stop so we left. Before going out the
door, I said, 'Tm sorry my baby is crying and preventing everyone from hear•
ing the movie." There were some goodnatured laughs and a man asked my
husband why we weren·t staying. We
were asked to leave. To anybody who
was prevented from following the plot or
understanding the dialogue, I extend my
sincerest apology as well as my sympathy. If I had known silence was a (actor
in enjoying a silent movie, I would have
had the consideration to leave much
sooner. However, I have seen people
enjoying
movies of this sort at
SHAKEY'S where it was much noisier,
so I am sure that other issues were al
play when we were asked to leave. Now
that we understand a baby's cry is not
socially acceptable at Evergreen evt!ht.s,
just as it isn't acceptable in greater
American society, I suppose we have

An EmbarrassingReflection
By Larry Stillwell
The lip service Evergreen students,
faculty, and administrators pay to the
"alternative" ideals of self-directed education and democratic self-government,
when contrasted with the currenl state
of affairs here, is revealed to be nothing
more than the expression of a nice idea.
Student, and even faculty, control of this
institution of higher education is being
surrendered to those who have been
hired to serve the institution rather than
education. The lack of joint facultystudent participation
in the closely
related areas of govenance (Evergreen
Council and the Student Information
Network) and curriculum planning (taking place now for 1981-82 and being all
but ignored by nearly evflrybody) is an
embarrassing reflection of what this col•
lege is coming to. Why don't we all just
lay back and let the Offices of Development and Facilities run this place?
Governance may seem like an abstract
idea when no major crisis is hammerinfil
home the fact that students and faculty
have almost no real power here. And
that same lack of rea! power-the
fact
that Disappearing Task Forces and the
Evergreen Council can only make suggestions and give advice to those administrators who run Evergreen-breeds
a
lack of interest among the powerless.
But when Facilities has all the student
posters in the CAB torn down to make a
nice impression on Dixy Lee Ray (as
happened at the end of last quarter);
when curriculum planning meetings are
held with almost no attempt, by the
faculty, to encourage student participation; when staff and faculty representa•
tives to the Evergreen Council ignore
their responsibilities to the point where
all last quarter the Council couldn't once
raise a quorum; when Dan Evans helps

morning after Dorm Meeting
available for those who really need them,
·especially when the crunch is tight in
the fall.
When I asked him who had proposed
the rent increase, Jacob admitted that
he had, and that he would formally pr~
pose it to the Board of Trustees in the
very near future. Operating costs f.or the
1980-81 school year will be $56,675, while
salaries, utilities, and employee benefits
will run $59,300, according to Jacob's
calculations.
The next day, Smith and Jacob met
with David Walboum, Director of Facil•
ities. lo discuss some of the options
raised at the housing meeting, particularly funding student security. Smith
told me that as a result, "money would
be found," and that resumption of the
student program could be expected in
the next two months, perhaps sooner.
According to Jacob, the cost for such a
program will be about $5,000 a year.
Generally, those I spoke to felt that
the meeting was successful. and had
accomplished some important
goals.
Communication between housing and
residents was improved, problems identified, 111d 1trategies planned! Many of
thoi"e present hadn't known the gravity
or the situation but now realized it was
their homes that were being threatened
and that each crime compounded the
fear and worry already present. More
meetings of this nature would probably
be beneficial, but in the final cut it will
be up to the studenla living in the dorms
to make their own decisions about the
atmosphere they live in.

The Scholar's Bank!

By Jerome Johnson
Science-fiction/fantasy author Ursula
K. LeGuin will not be this year's graduation speaker, according to Rita Grace of
the President's
office. According to
Grace, Ms. LeGuin declined President
Evans' invitation to speak at the 1980
graduation ceremonies for reasons "I am
not at liberty to release." Ms. Grace also
refused to comment on whether musi•
cian/poet Gil Scott Herron or actress
Jane Fonda, the next two candidates on
the Graduation Speaker Committee list
or preferred speakers had yet agreed lo
speak at this year's graduation. Ms.
Grace did say, however, that President
Evans is personally contacting Herron,
Fonda, and their accessories on the list in
order of preference.
One reason for Ms. LeGuin's declination might be the fee. According to Evergreen Registrar Walker Allen. no funds
had originally been allocated for a graduation speaker. From a total graduation
budget of $2,500, all monies were to be
applied toward graduation newsletters,
invitations and other materials. Later

I

this year, however. a sum of S500 was
earmarked for a graduation speaker's
fee. Ms. Grace would not say whether
the fee was a consideration m Ms.
LeGuin's decision. She also would not
say if doubts about Herron or Fonda
accepting a $500 fee would deter Presi
dent Evans from contacting them.

terribly upset. After inquiring at the
Facilities Office about who might have
authorized the piece. she went to see
for herself.
"I was impressed by the grotesque
characterization
or a woman being
attacked by a man covering his face in
shame, his ax aimed al her naked body,"
she said. "I was angered and disgusted!
The thing looked like an attempt to
trivialize violence against women. I don't
• want to come orr sounding like I'm
against artistic: freedom of expression.
This is an individualistic society. As an
individual I wanted to destroy it because
it made me angry."
Film-making student Erich Roe responded, "But sometimes gut reactions
. , are wrong. U you took a poll, how many
people would want that art work de•
stroyed. I think your group would be a
minority."
"Now that I know where the people
are coming from, I don't want the thing

destroyed,'" Sanders replied. "There was
no group. It wasn't a group, it was a
number of individuals who were upset
and wanted to get rid of it."
A long discussion ensued wherein Roe
argued that violent art does not provoke
violent behavior. Sanders mainlained
Lhat artists should take responsibility for
their art work. saying that if artists
were more careful about seeing all the
interpretations
for their work there
would be no need for censorship.
Art student Tanna Stotts pointed out
that an artist can never know all Lhe
implications or her work, "My impression
was or a satire with the chicken cutting
the woman up instead of the woman cutting up the chicken, a reversal of roles."
Women's Center Co-ordinator Marcie
Robertson said, "I interpreted it one
way, you guys made it another way." All
parties agreed that the discussion was
productive
and helpful in relieving
animosity to a great extent. Jeffries
apologized for arousing 80 much controversy, adding that they had put the
piece out to see if there would be a
reaction. Sanders quipped, "Well, you
certainly did get a reaction."

Trident judge gives unprecedented sentences
By Kathy Davis
Twelve Evergreen students received
suspended sentences and were put on
three years' probation for trespassing on
the Navy's nuclear Trident submarine
base in Bangor. The terms of that pr~
bation intlude restrictions from going
withfo 250 feet of the base or from participating- in any legal demonstration or
lealletting anywhere around the base.
A total of 112 defendanta were found
guilty of scaling a fence at the base last
October 29 in a planned act of civil disobedience to protest nuclear arms proliferation. Thirty-nine people-all
under
the age of 26-were
tried separately
under the federal Youth Corrections Act,
which allows a jury trial for young offenders. This group. including all 12
Evergreeners, were sentenced on Matth
21. Six received jail sentences, ranging
from 6 months to 45 days. Those close
t.o age 26 were given six months' suspended sentences and those younger
were given indeterminate
suspended
sentences. All were put on three years'
probation.

Of the older group sentenced
on
March 28, 25 people drew jail terms. The
rest received a 60-day suspended sen•
tence and again, three years' probation.
Some in Lhis group were fined from $60
to $500, depending on the individual's
past participation in political activism.
Jail terms were handed out to all
those who had any prior arrests for politically-related activities. People previously convicted of crimes not of a political nature were given probation.
'
In the past, an individual's first act of
trespassing on the base would not have
resulted in arrest. However, a new fed•
eral law, passed in lhe summer of last
year, allows that first offenders be
arrested and tried.
U.S. District Court Judg• Gordon
Thompson Jr., from California stressed
to the younger people in particular that
he wanted to discourage them from participating in this type of activity in the
future. Thus, he announced thal a condition of their probation was a restriction
from going within 250 feet of the base
for the period of three years. When

las.I November. Clabaugh (who supported

th(• reorgani1..ation) was AdministrativP
\'ire President. He had 11 department
heads reporting directly to him; he was
responsible for everythlng that happened
on the campus outside of the academic
area.
Who reported in? It is a long Ii.st but
worth reading to see the magnitude of

motor pool. custodial services, maintenance, planning and construction, central
repair, and space scheduling and anal•
ysis; the Director of Recreation and
Athletics, in other words the whole rec
center and its operations like Leisure Ed
and sports; the Director of Housing-aiJ
dorms and mods-and the whole SAGA
enterprise.
There's more-the
Bookstore and all
conferences: the Dean of Enrollment
Services. meaning admissions, health
services, financial aid, vets, career
planning and placement. student activi•
ties (S& A and all student groups), day
care. the counselling center, registrar's.
and academic advising; the Director of
Community Relations and Assistant to
the President. including the development
and alumni offices, and all of College
H.elat1ons. including all Judy McNickle
docs. graphics for the college and the
educational outreach coordinator.
As recently appointed Vice President
for Business, Clabaugh relinquished the
responsibilities of Enrollment Services,
Community Relations and Assistant to
the President. and College Relations. Ac•
<·vrding to Business Manager
Ken
Winkley, this move solely reflected thP
admin1s1rative
style of Dan Evans.
Winkley said lhat while Charles McCann
prt'fcrred a pyramid style administration
with only thf' Administrative Vice Pres
ident and Vire President-Provost reporting to him, Evans prefers a broader•
based organization with more depart
menl heads reporting directly to him.
Wasn't this a tremendously large job
for one man'! "It's a big job," says
Winkley who was also a close friend of
Clahaugh's, "but Dean was a big man.
Ht' was a good leader who stood behind

Dean Clabaugh filled a powerful position. It is
this pivotal status-of serving both the administration and the rest of the Evergreen community-that made Clabaugh a controversial
administrator. He had to make clear and quick
decisions, acting on his instincts or beliefs as
originator of the Master Plan. Controversy
naturally came with the territory.

h,s 1woplt>.There ...,a.., a lot of work in
\ tilved. but hr wa~ like a superhuman
man who was good at tht• art of delegat
in){ n•spons.ibilily and authority."
liow did Dean Clabaugh gel all this
authority and for what was he hired in
the beginning'!
During the late sixties, the Washing·
ton legislature did a study and found

that a college was needed in Southwest
Washington. At that Lime Clabaugh wa!
the diredor of the Legislative Budget
Committee, the office which devises and
concocts ways for community projects to
be funded. Because Clabaugh had so
much successful
experience
in the
budgeting and implementing of various
community projects he was appointed by
the legislalure as Executive Director of
the embryo college: Evergreen's very
ftrst employee.
His ftnl task was to do a study Lo find
out what property in the Olympia area
was available. The legislature wanted
about 1,000 acres. The Cooper Point
Peninsula afforded the most available
property for the cheaper price. but there
were many homes and farms occupying
it. The state exercised it! power of
eminent domain, condemning the homes
and farms and buying up this land. Ever
green's first bad press, with Dean Cla
baugh's name eminently linked to it,
began when the strong hold-out by
farmers and residents and the surround
ing bitter feeling! were aired by The
Daily 0.
As Executive Director, Clabaugh hired
all consultants for the college's master
plan. Said Winkley, ..The construction of
the college was something he had a firm
hand on all the time." Eleanor Dornan
commented, "This was all trees-he
literally built the school from the ground
up." All of the original department heads
(then about 14 people} were hired by
Clabaugh. In other words, everyone
except the faculty and President.

wheels of the college were beginning to

well. In lhe winter of 1972, a group of
students, under the direction of a former
art faculty, requested permission from
the Board of Trustees lo paint a mural
throughout the !tairwell. Permission was
granted and lhe student project, lhe
Dragon Mural, was submitted Lo Facili•
ties director. Jerry Schillinger for approvat
Some say Schillinger was reticent
about the maral because a lot of time
and energy and care wouJd be needed in
the restoration and maintenance of the
mural. There was no in!litutional way Lo
do this. The design was finally approved
with Maintenance providing materials
such as drop-.doths and ladders. This is
of course not the !irst or last time academic and st.aff persons have clashed on
project interests.
Another similar clash came in 1972
when a man calling himself "The Mad
Painter" kept painting brilliant butterflies. birds, !unshine, and flowers on the
sterile, rectangular concrete slabs that
were formerly at the two campus entrances. The signs, which were still
owned by the contractors. were repeal•
edly sandblasted much lo the disappointment of many students. To rectify the
touchy situation, Schillinger held an open
contest for the students to come up with
an alternative design. A woman won the
contest and the results are the wooden
signs we now have (the reflecLor tape on
the letters is the addition of Facilities).
Although pets on campus were never
approved, until 1972 there was no en·
forcement
of the no-pet policy on
campus. Clabaugh's administration pre•

(erred a laissez.faire attitude, leaving the
policing of pets up to the discretion of
owners. The result was the disgusting
ruin of the library, with piles of dog
feces all over the carpets and urination
stains dripping down walls and book·
shelves. Fleas infested the library and all
of housing until it was no longer bearable. The situation came Lo a head with
two large dogs, one a doberman. viciously fighting at the library entrance. A
group of students headed up by the caretaker of the Geoduck House developed
the current EAC no-pet rules and came
up with lhe "No Pets Allowed" slickers
at all building entrances, much to the
relief of everyone, especially the custodians.
Along with large responsibilities comes
the inherent position of being continually
under !iege. Dean Clabaugh was visible
and candid, unequivocal
and hard•
driving. His unofficial position at Ever•
green was that of mediator-arbitrator,
flack•catcher, disher-out of orders, historian, humorist. and general problem
solver and project initiator. His job
included a blend of tact and bluntneH
that had to be mixed and remixed many
times in one day. Said Winkley, "He was
able to tactfully and humanely fire
people-let's say he helped them find lhe
place they fil beller."
As if he did not have enough to do at
Evergreen, and according to Winkley,
Evans did Lhink it was too big a job for
one man, Clabaugh served as one of two
Higher Education Representatives to the
Insurance Board. He was also a member
of the Blue Cross Insurance Board, an

NlnAt

active member of the Chamber of Com·
merce and of the Western and National
Association of College and Business
Officers.
Dan Evans called his death "the paH
ing of an era." It is easy to surrrlise that
his death was also the passing of a large
hi.story book. The History of the Formation of The Evergreen State College.
Did Dean Clabaugh burn himself out as
one author of that book? If you stand_ in
the middle of Red Square and look
around you and think hard at how much
it all means, the feeling of awe is inescapable. For better or worse, Clabaugh
was one of the major forces shaping this
college. ICs one heck of a legacy to have
been a part of.

President by the Board or Trustees Lo
sel the development of the academic
planning process
in motion (it is
rumored that Clabaugh was fond of
claiming he hired President McCann),
Clabaugh became Administrative Vice
President. It was in this planning time
lhal he lold the Lewis County Chamber
of Commerce that the new college
"woulJ drag Olympia kicking and
screaming inLo the 19th century and
eventually
inlo the 20th," As Judy
McNickle points oul, "The Daily Olympian never forgot-or forgave-him {or
Evergreen) for it."
Dean Clabaugh filled a powerful position. It is this pivotal status-of serving
both the aamm1stration and the rest of
the Evergreen community-t.bat
made
Clabaugh a controversial administrator.
He had to make clear and quick deci•
sion!, acting on his instincts or beliefs as
originat.OI' of the Ma!ter Plan. Controversy naturally came with the territory.
Clabaugh also seems to have been a
strong and forceful person. "He was a
man of conviction," states Winkley, "He
pursued his beliefs strongly. He was
never reluctant to express his viewpoint
and he made sure his voice was heard in
all decisions."
What were some of the controversy
that occurred under Clabaugh's direction?
The famou! John Moss incident ...:
curred in 1973 during one of the more
severe budgPt cuts Evergreen
has
undergone. At this time, coincidentally,
the Director of Personnel left. John
Moss, who was direcLor or Auxiliary
Services, took over half of the responsi•
bilitie! of the personnel di.rector. As Vice
President, Clabaugh combined the two

positions. promoting Moss to Director of
Personnel. Officially, it was called an ex•
pansion of Moss' duties .
The controversy centered around the
hiring guidelines of Affirmative Action.
That office maintained that the Affirma•
tive Action guidelines had been violated
when Moss was appointed. They maintained that in fact a new job had been
created and therefore the recruitment
should have been opened up to include
women and minorities and other white
male candidates. Affirmative Action believed lhal Clabaugh had pulled a fB-!l
one by spiriting his friend into a higherpaying, more prestigious job. The case
was finally heard campus•wide and the
Board of Trustees voted in favor or
Clabaugh's decision.
The issue of spraying dangerous pesticides and herbicides on campus has long
been a major disagreement belween the
academic faction and the administration.
Spraying issues first occurred in 1976
and again in 1979 (see CPJ Feb. 7).
Campus facilities wanted to spray all
the weeds in the new beds all over the
campus with the biocide Casoron. They
agreed with Steve Herman to try a test
plot first Lo test erfectiveness.
The controversy welled up over a dis·
agreement
in philosophy.
Facilities
thought the campus greens needed to be
visually pleasing for the legislature; they
thought the campus should look spilly
and polished to keep the legislature
happy.
The Environmental Action committee
was up in arms. The long-range effecLs
of Casoron were undeterminable. The
people who applied il, breathed il. A
vapor hung m the air long after !praying
for others Lo unwittingly breathe, and of
course it would be another dangerous
chemic.al introduced into the food chain.
The argument grew hot with the rumor
that someone from facilities offered to
drink a cup of Casoron and some said
Clabaugh thought it was so safe he
would drink it hi.m!el!.
Finally a compromise was reached
between the EAC and Facilities. They
agreed that u the periwinkJe and ivy
groundcovers became e!lablished, the
spraying of biocides would be reduced
and eventually halted.
In 1976, during another reorganization
period, the administration was consider•
ing placing the library under Clabaugh's
jurisdiction. There was strong opposition
to this move by library personnel and
faculty, They believed thal the library
should serve the academic portion of the
college, the faculty and students, and
that Dean Jovana Brown had Lo work
closely with the academic deans and Vice
President-Provost to keep library standards high, The library is a leaching Looi
for teaching, they said. and that means
there must be close coordination and
planning wiLh the academic staff. "Dean
Clabaugh wa3 a businessman not an
academician," states Winkley. The library remained under academic iuris•
diction.
In the early days of Evergreen, when
the only building standing was the
library, the cafeteria was located in Lib
4300. Everyooe !"lad to go up and down

Uy Jan Loftness
The Gig Commission has changed
again. But most people at Evergreen
don't know who they are' or what they
do: and its members feel that if this is
true. they have no function at all.
Originally formed in 1972, the first Gig
Commission, like the present one. wu
formed by a gToup of students who set
out to bring gTeat music to the college
campus. They brought acts such as Keith
Jarrett and Chick Corea before a bu<lget
shift in 1975 killed the small organization.
four years later, Wt fall, the new Gig
Commission was formed. According to
Mark Chambers. Activities Coordinator
for S& A, it consisted mostly of a group
or friends with similar tastes who wanted
to see big concerts on campus of mainly
the rock 'n roll music. However. to most
people. a Gig Commission dance means
"punk rock," and that seems to be the
maJor misunderstanding
between the
Commission and the community. None of
the dances they have sponsored could be
considned "punk." they say, and Simon
Sheeline, Gig Commission president, says
that only one, Pink Section, was new
wave.

The group sponsored a variety of
musical evenls last quarter including
Jeffery Morgan, a jazz musidan; The
Heaters, The Magnetics, and Larry and
the Mondellos, all rock 'n roll bands;
Tropical Rainstorm, a steel drum band;
Pink Section, co-sponsored by KAOS;
Bert Wilson, another jazz musician; The
Jitters. The Frazz, and The Nu Vitations,
all rock 'n roll bands. They also cosponsored, with the Faith Center. Fritjof
Capra, and were involved with the Third
World Coalition Winter Festival.
The Heaters dance that came early in
winter quarter was probably the most
successful of events. The total cost of the
dance came to S2.400 and the Gig Com
mission made $700 profit, paying $1,00<
lo the Heaters and S350 to the Magnet
ics. They spent approximately $500 for
sound, lights and security, spent S300 on
publicity, and S250 on miscellaneous
production expenses, including the cost
of rewiring the CAB. Refreshments
made S150 profit. The CAB Building wu
packed and the Gig Commission thought
it was the beginning of a prosperous
quarter.

As we neared the roadblock at Yale,
Washington, I was reminded of an overdramatized disaster movie. There was a
quickly set-up national guard camp off to
the side and state employees were milling around in the rain. SL. Helens itself
was encompassed in clouds this day with
no apparent hope of an appearance. A
local forest ranger commented that there
was a lull in activity but anticipating bystanders still came and went-hoping to
catch a glimpse of the mountain or feel
a tremor.
The most notable activity of late has
been a harmonic tremor which lasted 18
minutes on Saturday. Harmonic tremors
are of a pulsating nature and are an indication of molten lava within. Planes
equipped with infrared cameras have
located hot spots near Lhe top of the
volcano.

One of the more important studies
done by a U.S. Geological Survey team
deals with analysis of gas and particu•
lates emitted by the plume or the volca•
no,. While the results of such tesls are
not in yet, a high content of sulfur•
dioxide would indicate high temperatures
within Mt. St. Helens and the greater
likelihood of magma, or hot, molten lava.
Significant amounts of other gaseous
materials would indicate lower temperatures and less threat of violent eruption.
A University of Washington crew has
stated results that show some points of
the mountain are rich in sulfer dioxide
whereas others are rich in hydrogen
sulfide.
The notorious blue name is another
phenomenon under speculation. Visible
only at night, the flame has been calculated to originate from deep within the
mountain. Planes with special spectrograph equipment are waiting for clear

Student-planned

weather to determine composition of the
flame. Knowing its composition will help
scientists better understand the volcano·s internal activity.
According to Don Mullineax or the
U.S. Geological Survey. "A change in
activity is what we're looking for and the
rate at which the change occurs." F'or
the moment, the mountain is at a plateau
or steady level of activity. So for the
time being all scientists can do is play
the waiting game.
Even in the scientific realm there is a
wide range of opinions. Some feel St.
Helens is winding down to dormancy
again, while others suggest it is only a
matter of time before a major eruption
shakes the area. Others refuse to com
ment because they confes, they Just
don't know.
For now. the only one lhat knows for
sure-is the mountain itsl'lf.

Hal Ashby has finally made a good

liberal/counterculture
fluff of the most
self-consciously pretentious type (Harold
and Maude, Coming Home, Bound for
Glory) and botched two nice Robert
Towne screenplays with his inadequate
direction (The Lut Detail, Shampoo).
Despite thelr failures as art, most of
these films were very popular with
audiences. I have found every Ashby
film (before Bein&There) slightly enjoyable while watching it, but my cinematic
appetite would always be unsatisfied
upon leaving the theater. The more I
would think about each of his riJms, the
faster they would fall apart.
Two or Ashby's most irritating trademarks are his anachronistic use of music
and his inability to pull off anything climactic. Some of the songs used in
Coming Home, Shampoo, and Bound for
Glory were not in existence until after
the historical time periods or those films.
And too often those songs used have no
relation to what is going on in the film.
In Coming Home, The Laat Detail, Bound

be ult.imately moved. Just as he seems
to be getting off the ground. he crashes
without even a thud.
In Bound for Glorv. he even skirts and
unimaginatively
fictionalizes the real
drama or Woody Gu•.hne's life. Harold
and Maude, despite its cult following,
can nowafiays hopefully be dismissed as
a hip adolt:scent fant..asy. Coming Home
is simply a collection or late '60s leftliberal cliches.
Being The.re is not devoid of the customary Ashby 0aws. but for once he has
found a script that fits his understated
style. Yet the film's success lies equally
with Peter Sellers' performance
and
Jerzy Kosinski's screenplay (which is
based on his own 1971 novel). Actually,
where the film falters seems to be where
Ashby had free rein away from the
script. The unnecessary display or unusable outtakes during the ending cred•
its destroys the mood or the final scene.
Also, the use or a disco-version of "Also
Sprach Zarathustra" on the soundtrack
is very obtrusive. I wondered if the
ambiguous ending, where Sellers literally
walks on the water was Ashby's or
Kosinski's idea. (It wasn't in the novel.)
Things would have worked much ·better
if Sellers was allowed to just walk
around on the ground. Actually, I
couldn't tell if he really was supposed to
be walking on the water or was supposed
to be walking on some sort of wuhed•
over bridJte thus giving us that metaphorical illusion. (In a similar vein, I never
had the impression that Bruce Dern committed suicide at the end of Coming
Home, a i. hnugh some reviewers and
people I know insist that he did.)
Peter Sellers plays Chance, an illiterate idiot who has spent his Ii.le sheltered
in a mansion in Washington, D.C., where
he has worked as a gardener. The old
man who owns the mansion dies and
Chance is forced to go out on his own
into the out.side w__orldthat he hu never
seen before. His only impression of the
"real" world comes from the TV shows
and commercials he ha.s constantly, but
mindlessly,
watched throughout
his
years in the mansion. When some black

The wife of a powerful financier
(Shirley McLaine) is in a limousine that
accidentally bumps into Chance and she
takes him to her estate for medical treat•
ment. Because he is so weU-dressed (the
old man gave him his old cl0thes) and
seems so unique, Chance's naive answers
to the questions aske<1 him seem like

national celebrity, appearing on talk
shows where he comes off as some sort
of guru with his simplistic comments on
gardening. McLaine falls in love with
Chance. After Douglas dies, the rich and

ignored her. she ends up telling him that
thanks to him she has rediscovered her
body and sexuality.
This scene could have been vulgar and
gross, but Ashby handles it in a way in
which we share Chance's innocence and
can laugh al McLaine's gullibility without
malice or sadism. The characterizations
are so lovingly etched, we would never
want to see these people hurt.
In another crucial scene, Chance is
called to Douglas' deathbed. While Douglas shows his gratitude to him and tells
him to take ca.re of his wife, we see a
rapport and love that is understood dif•
ferently by each of them. Yet Chance
does understand that his father-figure is
dying and actually starts to cry. This is
1n direct contrast to a scene early in the
film where Chance learns that his prev1
ous benefactor has just died. He goes up

words of profound genius to those
around him. All he's really talking about
is TV and gardens and is never aware
that others interpret his childish gibberish as metaphysical wisdom. McLa.ine's
dying husband (Melvyn Douglas) immediately takes a liking (which practi•
ca.lly beeomes a wor9hip) to Chance and
introduces him to the President (Jack
Warden). The President is equally impressed with Chance and quotes him in
a televised speech. Chance becomes a

There is a sweetness to all this, even
in Ashby's direction, that is never sar·
castic or cruel. Despite their idiocy or
blindness, we really do care about each
character
as a human being. When
McLaine tries to seduce Chance, he
reacts by imitating what he's watching
on television. When she misinterprets
his innocent frigidity as rejection, she
asks, "What do you like?"
"I like to watch," he replies, but she
thinks he's talking about sex. She then
