Computer records cosmic• debate
By Jerome Johnson
and Joseph Clements
There exists in the recesses of Ever•
green's Hewlett-Packard computer system !managed by Computer Services) a
file, the product of a select group, known
as SMl•mos. SM~mos is a melting pot of
ideas, interests, and memoranda composed by persons with computer accounts, who have access to the computer
system much like a publication. $Memos
has its own news. its own features. 1t.s
own opinions and its own classified advertising. A collage of information, en•
tertainmenl
and controversy,
at thi?moment $Memos sizzles in heated debate.
The furor was ignited by the following
statement:
"It is the philosophy of a very famou~
lady that the purpose of Man on this
Earth is to transport salt water from one
place to another. I have a different idea
about Man's purpose. I believe tn&t Man
is here to supply plants with the CO2
that is so essential to their existence.
'"Are there any other ideas about
Man's purpose?"
Instantly a second Evergreener fired:
"From what I've learned, the purpose of
Man is to grow and mature in a physical,
emotional and spiritual sense. This form
called Man is but a shelter for the
soul
A reply was swiftly forthcoming:
"The work of Man is to believe that
Jesus Christ has gained for them what
they are unable to gain for themselveseternal life. "
Salvoed the student:
··Like Muhammad, like Buddha, like
Kahlil Gibran and others, Jesus Christ
was a teacher. This may be likened to a
school where the same basic topic is
taught. but from as many perspectives
as possible in order that students learn
as completely as poS.!ihle."
This brought a sharp rebuttal:
"I cannol accept that Jesus was just one
or many teachers, and in fact. Jesus made
it so that this alternative
was not
open . He said. . "I am the Way, the
Truth and the Life. No man comes to the
Father except through me.... The only
way that can save a man is to know,
accept and believe Jesus Christ."
Wrote one student:
_. Man's purpose is very primitive,
even elemental. Others seem to be laboring under a need for man Lo have a vast
social or cosmic purpose. Mankind cannot
have such a purpose tor the simple
reason that it.s constituents are myriad,
Qnly an individual can have purpose."
Opined still another student:
"To quote the late, g,eat Kilgore Trout,
'Man's purpose in life is t.o grow old, be
miserable, and die.' "
Shot back one reader:
"That is a bleak outlook, not to mention
an easy escape for not looking further."
The debate continues. There is no
majority consensus on the meaning of
human existence. That is, except (or the
fact that Jesus did exist, and that Man is
here t.o learn or gain something. Interpretations seem to be indicative of individual experience rather than any indepth theological study.
When the current issue has waned,
$Memos will continue to function as a
source of information and a forum of
ideas. It also functions as a communications source-much like the mail or a
telephone. Similar to mail in that messages can be written and posted, akin to
te)._ephonesin that messages are election•

Library security system planned
By Ella Blackwood
It seems unavoidable. The Evergreen
Library, with ita unique user-oriented
philoeophy, ia more than likely going to
install • $20,000 electronic detection
system to curb book and casaette thefts.
"It's definitely a change in pbiloeopby,"
says George Rickeraon, Technical Services Coordinator, but he explains that
the problem of user frustration is worse
than monetary loss.
The library receives a significant nwnber of complaints from user■ because
materials liated in the card catalog cannot be found on the abelvea. There ia
often no record of Ute material having
been checked out. People simply walk
right by Ute circulation desk and u a
consequence, the day ■ of the honor
system are numbered. Too many people
are, as Rickerson politely terms it,
"borrowing books informally."
Approximately 4.3% of the library's
coUection hu diaappeared since the college opened. That adds up to well over
41,000 titlea at a coot of at least $69,000,
It has become a very serious problem. A
recent survey showed that about 600
boolu a month are returned that were
never cheeked out at the circulation
desk. No one can say how many more
books are never returned.
There have been a few cases of
mysterioua efforts lo return boob that
bypassed the ci:'ai!tition detrk. Almoot
the entire medical library was returned
one night, Moot of the boob were defaced and since the need for those
materials was great, the library had
already replaced a number of the books.
In December, Security received an anonymous phone tip that several boxes of
library books could be found in the ASH
laundry room. A total of 333 books and
cassettes, with an estimated value of
$5,000, were diacovered and reLu.rned to
the library. Also in December, a brown
sack was left outside the library with 26
cassettes inside, ranging from Bertrand
Russell to Elvis Presley. Debbie Robinson, Program Manager of Circulation,
wryly commented that these "borrowers"
usually have very good taste.
The electronic detection system will
most likely be purchased from the 3M
Corporation, which supplies many Wuhington libraries. Metal detection strips
(at a cost of 7t apiece) will be put inside
each book and cassette jacket. Users will
have to leave the library through a turnstile and an alarm wilJ alert staff to hidden books, somewhat like airport detection systems. It is hoped that false
alarms, such as belt buckles and loose
change setting off the system, will be
minimal. Exact costs are still uncertain,
but it is thought that purchue and installation of the system will run close to
S20,000. The system has been very
effective in other libraries and Robinson
suspects that it will pay for itself within
a year.
Library staff members are concerned
about the attitudes of the Evergreen
community toward the proposed system.
Robinson worries that people will see it
as "punitive or a sort of ugly public relations statement," but feels that the
staffs main concern is getting information to people who need it, especially in
an academic setting where students are
often under pressure to meet deadlines
and material can be vital.
Limited efforts have been made to
educate users about the library's circulation system and its problems but Rickerson says it's •·not a matter of appealing
to people's ethics." Many people have no
qualms about simply borrowing a book
for an hour. a day, a week (or just maybe indefinitely) without ever bothering
to check it out formally.
Although the detection system will be
a major change for the library. there
seems to be little controversy over il.
·'Three or four years ago there would
have been," commented Rickerson. The
library staff is very concerned about
soliciting opinions about the proposed
system and welcomes all comments. A
•public forum, which would include a
demonstration of the new system, is
being discussed but no date has been set.
In the meantime, you might consider returning a few of those library books that
you accidentally
dropped into your
backpack.

FORUM
Trust is easily destroyed
ment, however.
The Housing meeting on April 15 was
similar to the one two weeks before, and
was called, Jacob said, to provide an update to the issues discussed before, to
inform those who were unaware of what
was happening, and to discuss the events
of last weekend.
Between 90-100 students were at the
meeting. and most were very interested
in what was being discussed. The level
of interaction between them and Jacob
was high and the atmosphere was one of
concern and caring.
Jacob began the meeting by having all
the Housing slaff introduce themselves.
This was because many students had
expressed uncertainty at the last meeting about who t.he Housing staff was,
and that poor communications had resulted from this. Also in attendance
were Mac Smith, Gary Russell, and Ann
Brown (RusseU and Brown also work
for Security).
Next. Jacob reviewed the events surrounding McCord's arrest
and t.he
reasons that he decided to evict two
studenta who were present at the &rrest.
He defended hia decision regarding the
ev_ictioru and told those present that he
still believed "it wu the right action to
t.ake considering the information that
~ad been given him by students, Security, and Deputies" who were at the
arrest. However, Jacob added, the cue
wasn't closed and an appeal procedure,
as outlined in the CoUege Governance
Document, could be held on the matter.
Regarding thia issue, Jacob said he
had been given a petition, signed by ll0
do_r~ residents,
opposing Saturday's
ev1ct1on and calling it too severe a
measure. Again, Jacob defended the
action saying that he had been made
aware of facts which strongly inferred
that the individuals
concer11ed had
violated agreements of their Housing
contract, as well as those of the college
Scw-ialDocument.
The issue> of student security patrols
in the dorms was next addressed by
Jacob. H~ sa.iJ that Security was presently interviewing students for the three
positions, that such students would work
in conjunction with uniformed Security
personnel, and that the annual cost of
security for the dorms and parking lot F
would be $20,000.
At the first housing meeting. the matter bf student patrols was raised repeat•
edly, and won the support of most people
there. The general mood was that housing residents would be able to relate
better to a student than to a uniformed
guard.)
The meeting was then opened for
general discussion and comment. Two of
the main concerns voiced by students
regarded those who were evicted on
Saturday and the tension that has been
pervasive in the dorms the last month.
Many felt compassion for the two and
thought that eviction was too severe a
measure. There was also doubt ex•
pressed whether they had actually been
obstructing the arrest or were simply
consoling McCord. Still others felt that
the two were involved in obstruction and
should have thought of the consequences
beforehand.
Responding to this, Mic Smith aaid
that the woman involved did not console
McCord, that she was hanging on to Jim
Wussler's arm during t.he fight, and that
she was pick.ed up.And placed a diatance
away by a deputy (not thrown, as some
had charged!. tfe added that many students present at the arrest had tried to
calm the others, for which he expressed
apprecistion, and that ho didn't feel any
student was mishandled.
Smith was visibly emotional when he
described how he had uked McCord'•

Walk for Survival headed north
By Roger Stritmatter
A Walk for Survival ia three weeks
old. Today, in the Ukish Municipal Park,
250 miles north of our starting point at
the Lockheed Aeroapace & Missiles Corporation facility in the Santa Cruz Mountains, we paused for a day of celebra•
lion-games,
music, sufi dancing, yoga
and feasting to commemorate the event.
Se~enty-five local supporters joined the
"Day in the Park" organized by our local
cont.act, Sun-Bear Collins, and listened
patiently while we explained the purpose
of our Walk: to inform the public that
building more nuclear weapons is not
making this nation more secure, bat less.
The arms race must be stopped; our
survival depends upon it.
How can one recapture three weeks of
walking, adventures, personal and communal conflict and growth in a single
article? An article a week would not
suffice, but I'll hit the highlights !or you:
February 29. After two weeks of rain
and silliness at Celebrations House in

24-hour vigil at the Lockheed facility in
the Santa Cruz mountains where Lockheed test.s propulsion systems for Tridt!nt. March l we shoot down the mountain, the next day striking northeastward along Highway 9, climbing to the
summit and camping that night with a
ring around the moon. Sporadic cloudbursts flood our tents, soaking gear And
driving us onto the cold concrete floors
of the restrooms for shelter.

McCord to stay off campus. In response
to the sentiment that. McCord was an

added security would be in effect at the
dorms.
Jacob concurred that the situation was
tense, that some people were so scared
that they had moved out of campus
housing, and that many had gone to the
Counseling Center for emotional support.
Concerning the presence of Se<:urity in
the dorms, Jacob said that he is aware of
evidence which indicates that those
evicted. as well as•McCord, were not t.he
only ones responsible for crimes in and
around the dorms, and that until he ia
convinced that. the situation hu calmed
down he would keep Security in the
dorms.
This is one of the most sensitive points
or the situation, and many students feel
that S"<:llrity'.,Lp.tesence in the dorms
representa a growing authoritarianism
on the part of the Housing office. Some
think that this has been a major !actor
behind escalating crime and tension in
the dorms. Still others are sympathetic
toward Security
and disagree
that
Security is 1:ontributing to the crime.•

Rob Olmstead is very sympathetic to our
cause and gives us 20 minutes of his
evening Bible class to talk about the
Walk. The reception is polite, occasion-
and he shared some good points. "I'm sick
of hearing that Security is responsible
for the vandalism," he said. and observed
that throwing things off a roof or pulling
fire alarms were also acts of authority.
Fellows asked that people not make "folk
heroes" of those who had committed
crimes and to understand how Security,
owing to the nature of their job, is

in the future.

all dorm students are encouraged to

The final point of discussion at Tuesday's meeting was about the pool table,
which had been removed from A dorm
because of damage. There was much
debate as to whether the damage was an
accident or intentional. and Jacob said
that his office would replace it only once
more. There was quite a bit of loud dis·
agreement at this statement, but then
Larry Stenberg suggested that if the
pool table got damaged again, it be replaced only after the dorm residents had
colle<:ted the money necessary for its
repair. This won instant and unanimous
approval, and the meeting came to an
end.
Where do things go from here and
how will events like McCord's arrest
and Tuesday's meeting affect the quality
of life in campus housing? These are the
$64,000 questions which only a liar or a
fodl could claim to know the answers to.
The housing meeting was the rocus of
a great deal of concern among the residents about their lives, those of their
neighbors, and how to form constructive
ways or dealing with problems which
affe<:t the community as a whole. If
enough people desire it. conditiona may
be right for a major shift in the collective consciousness and sense or identity
of people living in campus housing. Many
feel the potential is there now, waiting
to be developed and that the choice ia up
to no one but the residents themselves.
This drew wide support from those at
the meeting, and moat agreed that the
students themselves could be more effective in handling housing problems
than Housing staff. Even student hous•
ing managers are excluded from many
situations strictly because of who they
are, said some, and that people trusted
their own friends to help with problems
more than they tr~ted Houaing_.,taff_

Pontpoint: the bridge between

"It's best to sit back and let it flow.
don't know what it's about. I don't want
to know. It's best not to talk or write
about it." This was artistic director Jann
McCauley's advice on how to watch
"Pontpoint," a modern dance performance by Cirque, formerly the Portland
Dance Theater.
The morning before their show, Cirque
gave a workshop in the Rec Center at
Evergreen. About 25 dancers in assorted
garb appeared full of energy and ready
to take on the unknown challenge.
McCauley warmed them up with extensive, technical stretches and taught
them combinations from the upcoming
performance. The other company members. Bonnie Merrill, Hilarie Neely, Judy
Patton and Pat Wheeler Robinson, participated in the workshop and offered
personal corrections to the other students.
The session was concluded with ..The
Cirque Waltz." The dancers learned an
extensive chorus line combination and
were then instructed to put their street
clothes on in time to an assortment of
scattered circus-broadway music. When
the music stopped. the dancers froze.
When the music continued, they continued to pull their street clothes over
their leotards and tights. After everyone
congregated back on the dance floor, the
combination was executed with exuberation. They clapped for each other and
the workshop closed.
Cirque was founded in 1970 by four
women, Bonnie Merrill, Cathy Evleshin,
Jann McCauley and Pat Emelwong, who
first met at a dance workshop. They
enjoyed dancing together and decided to
create an emsemble in order to further
their dance relationships. After some
time and much experimenting.
they
created a repetoire of modern dances.
They also started a studio in Portland
=~95'~~-
which now offers six sessions a year,
including all levels of Modern/Jazz,
Modern, Ballet, Character, worksh0:ps
for teaching children and movement
explorations for children.
Cirque's workshop and performance
displayed a very diverse group of
dancers. Their styles ranged from a
sharp, precise, charismatic style to a
looser, ltss formal, more illustrative
fashion. Their performances contained
risks from body contact and varied
timing. Sometimes the dancers seemed
to be out of sync with each other but it
didn't distract the audience from the continuing sensations. So many things were
happening on the stage that you knew
you couldn't focus on it all. A dancer,
movement or prop would attract your
attention and that's where your attention would be until another amusement
lured you away. It felt like watching a
stream of consciousness that had been
interpreted
into an exotic, unique
performance.
The stage was black and bare except
for two hanging wooden ladders and two
hanging wires with disk-seats attached.
The first series of dances were "Black
Cats," "7 Arrows," and "Rain Dances."
They began as cats, using their hanging
props as bridges between them. (Pontpoi n t means the bridge between.)
Spacey. electronic music played along
with the dancing and a man who sat on
the lighting balcony recited e. e.
cummings-type
poetry. The dances
mixed and intertwined. There were no
intervals. They were all related until it
stopped and became intermission.
The second part consisted of "Canole"
and "The Cirque Waltz." I only knew

about. I don't want to." I couldn't stop
trying to intellectualize the movements,
the poetry, the expression. It changed so
rapidly that a train ol thought became
less important than enjoying the theatrical senaation. As Jann McCauley said at
the end of her workshop, "It's a series of
images. It doesn't make sense. Just

Rec field report irks EAC members
By Jellerson Allen
Contrary to a statement in last week's
issue ol the CPJ. Scott Elliott, a member
of the Environmental Advisory Comm.it·
tee (E.A.C.). indignantly told me Friday
morning, "We did not Qkay the construe·
tion (ol the planned $1.3 million recreation field) with Facilities."
Later that afternoon the confusion was
cl04red up at the monthly E.A.C. meeting, but it gave birth to a more impor·
tant issue. Darrell Six of Facilities, a
major source of information for last
week's "$1.3 Million Rec. Field" article,
told the CPJ the plan was cleared with
the E.A.C. He was referrio~ to the
original field plan which was reviewed
by an earlier E.A.C. in January ol 1978.
If there are no differences between the
original plan and the one Facilities is
now using, the issue would be cleared.
But this is not the case.
The major change concerns the strip
between the recreation pavilion and the
existing field. When reviewing the original plan, the 1978 E.A.C. a.,ked Facilities to build around the trees. Facilities
agreed to do so. The revised plan calls
for a level surface stretching from the
old field to the new area, which means
clearing out the trees and lilling in the
swampy ground on which they grow.
David Wallbom. Director ol Facilities,
cited at the meeting two reasons foJ' cutting the trees down. "First, the area in
5
question will have to be cleared and dug
up to install a drainage system for the
planned fields. Second, the trees would
obstruct a clear line of vision from across
the campus, thus creating a safetv
hazard if someone is hurt in the area."
Kurt Pohl, a• grounds worker at the
meeting, interjected his opinion on the
trees: "They're just alders, they aren't
any good," he said.
Regardless of why the trees must be
cut down, the question that came up at
the meetinll was this: Can Facilities we
an old E.A.C. clearance for a revised
pian? Elliott did not think so, especially
wnen It became obvious that the 1978
E.A.C. had asked Facilities specifically to
leave the trees in.
Wallbom asserted throughout the dis-
cussion that "the project cannot be
stopped at this stage."
Elliott asked if Facilities had riled a
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
impact statement for the plan. Wallbom
replied, "I think so, but I'm not sure."
Elli9tt and other E.A.C. members will
look into the issue further before decidinll on a coursr of action.
On Wednesday
the 16th, Elliott
brought the issue of the trees up at the
Evergreen
Council meeting. It was
decided that more information
was
needed, and that the issue would be discussed further at the next council meeting. Council members were outraged at

Political Economy
At the meeting, six of the eleven
Political Economy faculty and five students who have been involved in the
area, discussed how the tentative schedule !or 1981-82 in Political Economy lits

were developed two years ago.
The goals established are:

2. To offer one quarter of intermediate

years.
3. To offer one advanced coordinated
studies program every two ye11,rs.
4. To offer one program each year that
has a Third World locus.
5. To offer one or more advanced group
contracts.
6. To offer one quarter

The tentative curriculum for 1981-82
answers to these fairly well, though stuJcr.t~ dn•v. attention to some apparent

two of the college's best and brightest,
are planning to offer an intermediate or

Social and Political Theory.
In spring Ron Woodbury will offer his
advanced group contract, Writing Populist Political Economics, which prepares
budding young economics-oriented journalists for, the free-lance market. Also,
Tom Rainey will offer an advanced group
contract in socialist political economics
systems.
Dissatisfactions expressed by students
centered around the fact that most of
the offerings appeared to be primarily
theoretical in nature, that more attention
should be given to applied and practical
studies. Pris replied that her two-quarter
contract will emphasize application of the
research and operation techniques the
class will study. Students also stressed
that the Macroeconomics program should
integrate practical application of that
branch of eeonomic theory (which involves economic policy-making on a
national level). A program that studies

added that it could be cross-referenced
with the Health and Human Development specialty area. Only a few people

What with the current popularity of
music modeled on mid-sixties rock {B52s,
The Knack, The Heats, Blondie), perhaps
the time is right for sixties rhythm and
blues, and judging from the crowd which
turned out at the Gnu Deli for Insight's
"Tribute to Ray Charles and R&B,"
Qlympia may soon have a full-scale R&B
revival or at least a cult of Insight fans.
Insight consists of Evergreen students
Jim Keller on organ and vocals and Jon
Hansen on drums. Their "Tribute. . "
consisted of equal parts songs recorded
by or identified with Ray Charles and a
sampling of organ-centered R&8 played
by Groove Holmes, Jimmy Smith. etc.
The show began with Jim Keller en•
throned behind his formidable organ,
clad in black priest robes striped with
orange, accenting the music with jerking
shoulders and agonized expressions. Jon
Hansen was stationed
amongst
his
drums clad in anachronistic blue tuxedo,
drumming with a studied cool broken
only by percussive nourishes when his
face assumed a maniacal grin or exploded into ornithic contortions.

Buildings that look like "things" rather
than buildings were big back in the '20s.
[n Tacoma, down by the claMic old
Smyser Motel, there once stood a giant
cowboy boot. Next to that were two outhouses shaped like salt and pepper
shakers. Those things are gone now, but
one reminder of that era remains.
Bob's Java Jive at 2101 South Tacoma
is hard to miss. It's the only place
around shaped like a teapot, complete
with a giant handle and spout. It was
built in 1927. The original name, in fact,
~ ~ as The Teapot, and it was the first
drive-in restaurant in the entire Pacific
Northwest. During World War II, it wu
one of the rare eating spots to be open
around-the-dock. It i.s also one of the
very first pre-fab buildings, constructed
down on the waterfront and transported
to be assembled at its present location.
Bob bought the place exactly,25 years
I ago this week. Back in 1955, the Beat·
, niks called coffee java and the lnluipots
sang a song called "Java Jive." Bob liked
the song so much that he used the name
!or his funky little joint. He proudly recalls the day that the lnkspots personally
dropped by.
Upon walking through the red, white
and blue Bicentennial doorway at the
Java Jive one is transported into another
world. In what can only be described as
jungle decor, the atmosphere feels more
like Madagascar than South Tacoma.
Plastic palm trees and vines sprout along"
the walls. Attached to the ceilingpainted black with white stars-are tree
branches spray-painted florescent yellow,
orange and lime green. The tables,
chairs, even the refrigerator. are covered
with pseudo-leopard
and tiger skin
designs. The walls are covered with original paintings (most done by Bob) and
1·etouched photos of tigers, parakeets
and tropical landscapes.

Bob is very congenial, though a bit shy
with strangers. He bought the big teapot
and turned it into a tavern/restaurant
because "My family has been in this
business for the last 100 years." His
earlier career as a seaman took him to
many countries around the globe. He
spent time in the South Seas, India, Iran
and Africa. The innuence of these exotic
places is the obvious source of the Java
Jive's interior decoration.
Instead of stools, old city bus seats
line the bar. Next to the constantly buzz.
ing TV set lies a stack of "The Star"
tabloids. Behind the bar, along with the
menu (the Big Buck Burger is a featured
item) and the usual array or bar joke
plaques and posters, are some more
unusual pieces, like a framed monkey
portrait on black velvet. On one wall, a

The Jungle

A vicious-looking jungle hunter stands

The highlight of The Jungle Room is
located by the pool table in a cage behind a glass window. Bob's mascots are

restricted the audience to vigorous foot
tapping.
Though focusing on R&B they played
a driving jazz version of "My Favorite
Things,'' and a soulful, slightly overwrought "Midnight Train to Georgia."
Throughout
the evening,
Insight
played with impeccable taste: each solo
a concise and valid musical statement
rather than the all too prevalent (these
days) fulsom technical flash. Hansen's
drumming ranged from forceful bashing
to sensitive accompaniment
and his
tense, elliptical solos were marvels of
restraint.
Keller's
singing,
however,
while
earnest, often paled on the blatant Ray
Charles imitations: as in "You Are my
Sunshine," where his straining for soulful effect was almoSt painful to listen to.
He fared better when his own voice
(albeit heavily indebted to Charles) came
out as in "Jealous Kind."
Insight plays a brand or music seldom
heard in Olympia: organ•centert~d rhythm
and blues. While speculation as to an
R&B revival may be prematm, Insight's

In keeping with the "Tribute" theme,
Keller introduced several tunes with
related anecdotes from Ray's life. These
provided poignancy and humor; more
would have been appreciated.
Throughout the night, their tight-knit,
assured playing belied the !act that this
was their public debut. The briskly
paced show never dragged. Each tune
featuring' solos by Keller whi~h came
remarkably close to the drive and virtu·
osity of his models (Smith, Holmes,
Charles).
The exemplary sound was marred only
by a fuz.ziness on some of the bass notes.
In fact, frequently Insight achieved the
full sound of a three• or four-piece band:
as in the uptempo ''Sermon;" which
featured Keller's driving bass and dense
chords propelled by Jon's busy but not
excessive drums.
Many of the tunes, notably "God Bless
the Child," began with the liquid vibrato
of gospel only to be transformed by
Keller's raucous organ playing and
Hansen's precise drumming into a decidedly secular, funky blues: potent dance
music. It was only lack of space which
