O'Brien deals with the agonies of a
young soldier, Paul Berlin, as ~e tr~es to

definition, but the quintessence of the
question, the reconciliation of penonaJ
beliefs and needs with the demands of
society. is a universal dilemma.
The scene is set when Cacciato, a bot
soldier in Viet Nam, who "missed
mongolian idiocy by the breadth of a
genetic hair," decides to leave the war
and "hump it" to Paris. Cacciato is pursued to the border of Laos, where ht

Bereft of all philosophical impliu.tions,

"Hole in the Road to Paris" episode, the
adventures are so nearly believable that

Teacher Certification at any cost e,
By Mary Young, Kathy Davis,
Mark Powel] and Jan Loftness
"If you say what's really going on in
here, the school board wilJ cancel the
contract." one woman warned when the
CPJ solicited interviews
from the
Elementary Education section of the
Teacher Certification program. "The
only one who will tell you anything
good about the program is Hostetter."
(Bob Hostetter is the University of
Puget Sound director of teacher certification.) Many students had reservations about us doing the article and one
studenl asked if we were singling the
program out to criticize. Others stated
they thought the CPJ would print a
"biased" and "out of context" review of
the UPS program.
Though we asked for all sides of the
story. promising to do the most we
couJd to present a ha.la.need examination in our articles, one woman (who
didn't want to be identified) said, "I
probably won't tell the truth ... because
I'd say all good things. All of us here
are afraid to talk. We want the article
to be good because we want to get
jobs." The same woman, who refused
an interview. al,o told us we should not
write the article.
The first year of Evergreen's first
Teacher Certification program is coming to a close. It is important to take a
close look at this program because it
will probably stay in the curriculu,n, in
some form, as Evergreen branches out
to serve southwest Washington. It is
only the first in what will probably be
a number of certificate-option programs
which will seriously chalJenge Evergreen's interdiscipHnary philosophy.
This article is the first of a two-part
series: this week we have focused on

student interviews, next week we will
present the UPS/TESC faculty and
administration points of view.

Part I of a series
There are new F.vergreen students on
campus this year who are not really
Evergreen students. They are here for
one purpose: to get state certification to
teach in Washington
schools. These

women make up a large part of the UPSsponsored program, which awards Evergreen credit, meets on the Evergreen
campus, and. not incidentally, also in
eludes over 20 previous Evergreen
students.
The "Housewives," as some call the
new students, and the "Greeners,.. as
some call the others, had some adjustments to make to each other. Said Kit
McCormick, who dropped out of the pro-

gram after fall quarter, "The students
clashed, for the most part, fall quarter.
The Evergreen students would question
sources and argue with the teachers.
The non-Evergreen students didn't want
to hear that." But Steve Simpson, who
also runs the bike shop at Evergreen
says, "Evergreen
and non-Evergreen
students got along fine, but the Evergreen students were more dissatisfied
(with the program)."
One student, who prererred to remain
anonymous, said, "The students got
along surprisingly
well. Some nonEvergreen students were real outspoken.
The Evergreen students were intolerant
of B.S., but they didn't develop into two
separate camps.'"
"It's really nice having a cross-section
of the population," commented Mary
Ellen Fitzgerald, "There are a lot or
housewives that know what's happening
in the public schools because they have
kids."
All of the students interviewed said
they entered the program just to become
certified teachers. "I need the piece or
paper," said one. "I would take it again
just to get the certification. Il's worth il
because it was hair-time and here at
Evergreen." Simpson said ... No question
that it was worth the hassle for the
cPrtification."
Kathy Sokolik doesn't know .. how
much of this tthe program content) is
going to be useful. It hasn't affected
whether we are going to be good or bad.
For the most pan I see this as a for
mal~ty:" And Marla Seigler likes "that
I'll be certified and I like that it's almost
over."
Students who have taken courses at
Evergreen are particularly dissatisfied
that UPS faculty do not use seminars in

bers of the science faculty. Tuesday, one
year after B.S. degrees
were first
offered, the committee met for the first
time. Members of the committee are Al
Weidemann, Al Leisenring, Fred Tabbutt, Don Humphrey, Pete Taylor. and
Byron Youtz.
The Registrar's office recently sent a
letter to all alumni explaining the peti•
lion procedure. To exchange their B.A.
for a B.S., all they need to do, the letter
says. is file a petition by September 15
and pay a $10 diploma fee.
Asked to comment on the procedure, a
Registrar staff member said there was a
"large stack" o( petition forms waiting to
be reviewed, and that it was highly unlikely they would all be processed by
graduation, or even by the September 15
deadline.
·•There is no legitimate reason why it's
taken so long to get the review committee formed," the employee said. ''What's
going to happen to thooe about to gr•duate who want Bachelor of Science

ceive a B.A. and have to pay $10 when
their B.S. geta approved? Or go without
a degree until the committee
gets
around to them?"
Allen says that once the review committee gets going, each petition will take
one to two weeks to procesa. He said
that moet students were overqualified;
the committee, he says, would evaluate

PIGEONSGONE?

Dear Editor:
For some time now I've come into the
campus past the Art Annex and then
through the Lab 11 Building. Last winter
a lovely new sound enriched the journey- the melodious soft cooing of
pigeons. There were four of them. I enjoyed watching their feathered little
social order emerging, so serious and so
joyful.
One day later in the winter, a new
sound called across the cooing and I
lo...lkedup to see a mother pigeon feeding
a tiny fuzzy-leathered baby. A nest had
been built, an egg had been laid, life had
emerged: and it all happened among our
stern concrete structures. I wu ecstatic.
On Mayday I looked up to aee how
Baby Pigeon was doing and found instead a pigeon trap. Facilities was trapping and removing the pigeons. On Mayday when Lile was being celebrated the
world around, Evergreen was removing
il from the campus. The pigeons' crime
was that they defecated (lo use the lingo
oft.he Facilities Boss. David Wallbom) on
t.he buildings. They want lo remove the
swallows for t.he same reason.
Well, t.his all seems sad to me. It also
seems symbolic. When you look at the
world, you can see music and joy and
iife; or you can s.ee shit. Evergreen has
chosen t.he !au.er.

Dear Editor;

equates a particular

that he considers it worthless, useless

how crazy it is that people get credit

If you are a man reading this and are
ollended by the above title, you should
consider:
There is a qualitative difference in
being a woman in America and being a
man. Women are raped, assaulted,
beaten, and killed on the otreets far
more often than men. If current trends
continue. one in every three women will
be raped sometime in their lives. Women
liv,.,in iear of rape 24 hours a day. They
fear e,•ery strange (and many familiar)

when it is dark, poorly lit, and there are

need to become aware of what women
feel walking down the street or when

out of that knowledge.
There are patterns of male behavior

are visible to women. Let women know

A new minority is trying to put its
foot through the door at Evergreen. As
of yet, most faculty and students don't
know of their existence. However, this
minority of 15 women is Largely responsible for trumpeting Evergreen's good
name throughout southwest Wuhington.
These women comprise Evergreen's
women's soccer team. Thus far they
have had a championship season.
.
In February, Jacques Zimick.i, Evergreen graduate, socc.er enthusiast and
coach for many years, was hired on as
coach for the women's team. Working
with both veterans and rookies to the
game, Zimicki concentrated on team and
individual skills. Under his tutelage. the
team has become the #1 ranked women's
team in southwest Wuhington.
Next year, the team hopes to play
intercollegiate.
If this happens, the
Geoducks will be playing auch schools as

more of their cluses. Crystal Jones, an
Evergreen student, bu bad difficulty
re-adapting lo the standard style of
learning: "I am disappointed in the year;
partly lit is) my own fault because I
can't handJe the pace and 11tructure of
the methods of public school teaching."
The UPS Teachers Certification program incorporates few Evergreen style
methods of teaching. "Out of ten
classes," says Gavin Lalti.n, ..only one of
them gave any seminar time. One day a
week for hill an hour." Lakin concludes:
"That tella you how much they did not
bend towards any of our pbilooophies."
Lakin believes the UPS faculty have
an attitude of "Do the work, turn it in."
Classes. says Lakin, were never
"brought to the level of "Hey, leta really
take a look at this stuff." The UPS
teachers. he aaya, "have given more time
to busy work usignmenta that everybody in the program would agree were a
waste of time. By doing that, it nullifies
any time for discussion or interaction
about ideas."
Several students mention that much of
the work assignOO is an ineffective approach to learning. "It is my interpretation," says student Lisa Taylor, ..that we
have to do this (summarize magazine
articles) just to prove we read the
articles." "We were summarizing eight
magazine articles on paper," aays Chru
Antrobus. "'The result of homework like
that," she says, "is Iota of buoy work."
Instead of summarizing the articles,
. Antrobus believes l ~al 1tudenla should
critically analyze and evaluate them.
Students in the Teachera CertificaCion
Program express the need for a strong
component of fieldwork. Interning at
schools enables studenU to work with
children and experience what it ia like to
teach. There is a good deal of complaint
among the studenU interviewed that
fieldwork does not receive adequate
attention. Shirley Dziedzic, a woman re·
turning to school to get a teachers certificate after years of being a teaching

assist.ant, says, "The real essence of the
prc>gTamis the fieldwork." Moet students
think that inlernibg at schoola is the
essential learning experience of the T.C.
Program. "l didn't get a thing out ol it
(the program):· asys McCormick. "except
for the fieldwork."
The strong support students voice for
a fieldwork component indicatea the
learning experiences that they accrue
from interaction with the children.
Whether the internship was good or bad,
it helps prepare Teachera Certificate
students to teach in a way that no textbook c.an. La.kin related hia intern ex•
perience: --1 would say that the first
quarter was a very, very valuable
experience 1,eea.,.. I worked with 1
teacher who wu absolutely horrible. A
third-grade teacher-abe wu tyrannical
So I learned how not lo teach." "But I
think," he continue1, ..the bui.s of the
fieldwork is for you to get your feet wet,
which is wonderful." Lakin believea that
UPS integrated s po1itive element by
allowing Teachera Certificate 1tudenta lo
intern their first quarter.
Several 1tudenta mentioned that
teachers do not attempt to integrate
student intern experiencea with any of
their other claases. Jonea ■ tates, "I
student taught and that ia where I
learned. But it hu been very difficult for
me to integrate the two (field wortrwith
regular Teachers Certification classes) ...
"The books were good but didn't seem
<'olleg(' levf"l. They were too simple,"
,ays McCormirk. "The textbooks were
rrumm~ from an }'.,vergrttn point of

view," an anonymous student said. An
often heard complaint is that the lexta
used are secondary rather than primary
sources. Some studenU commented that
they didn"t know why they even read
some books, because they weren't d.l.ecussed or uae-din claas. "We read a book
and don't even talk about it." saya
Sokolik. Valerie Lewis aay1 that sometimes usigned books cannot be found in
the booulore or they come in very late.
Sue blames the faculty, saying, "There's
no excuae for that." She a.lAoexpressed a
need for more permanent. educationrelated resources in the (TESC) library.
"Books go back to UPS with the faculty.
They're only on the reserve shelf in the
library for a quarter." Studenta like
Lewis, who lives in Shelton and bu a
family, doo·t have time to wait in the
library lo get their hand., on theoe
needed book.I.
The use of evaluations, Evergreen's
alternative lo traditional grad .. , bu
been u baffling lo UPS faculty as lo
student.I in the program who have never
done them before. Not all the faculty are
writing evalutiona. Commen~ one atudent, "Nol all faculty undentand the
process of evaluating students in a productive and uaeful manner. Some don't •

values, for example, writing 'he mard,ea

Fitzgerald says of evaluationa. ''They're
not real helpful u being oometbing that

records-'Well liked by her peen' or
·u I wu a high school principal, I would
hire her for the job.' " One student says
her evaluation included the comment
..,he does not speak up becauoe her

Lewis, who had never attended Evergreen before entering the Teacher Certification Program. wu confused about
what evaluations were. "They mu.at be

Caroline and LeRoy Milla are the only
Native Americana in the TESC teacher
eerulication program. Had they not, by
■beer luck, picked up a newspaper the
day an article appeared announcing the
new Evergreen program, they would
have never known about it.
The Milla' have been teacher'• aides al
the Wa-He-Lute achoo! on the NIAqually
Reservation. Wa-He-Lule LI an alternative school founded by NIAquallymotbera
because there were no Indian scboola lo

who are TESC graduates. are anxloua lo
develop a model curriculum lo teach
Native American cbildNn about their
treaty righta and what they call the real
story of their hi.story. The Milla' say
American history taught in public
achools now is "biaaed and racial."
Caroline, a Sboobone, and LeRoy, a
Yakima. want lo leach non-Indiana about
Indian culture too.
"Evergreen is getting a bad reputation
in the Indian Community" becauae
"there is no recruitment of Indianawhat.soever. There are 26 tribes (nations) in
Washington atate and three in the
Olympia area," say, LeRoy. The Indian
Education Act provide, that Indian
communities ahould have control over
their children's education. Thia means
tbat there will be a need for teacben on
Wuhington's Reoervations. LeRoy and
Caroline have an advantage over the
other potential leachen in the program
in that they will not have lo ,ompete for
a job; teaching pooitiona are waiting for
them back al the Wa-He-Lute ocbool.
"But," aays LeRoy, "•• an Indian
penon rm getting nothing out of the
teacher eert program. Indian 1tudies
bun'l been touched on." They have lo
"jump through the hoop" be aay1 and
"sell your values out lo get that piece of
paper" to beeome certified teacbera.

"They don't want u1 lo leach the truth
in the schools," 1ays LeRoy. The
emphui.s in the program, be thinka, ia lo
leach whatever is in the textbooka "no
matter how· immoral" The Milla' argue
that the program is merely perpetuating
the present society.
A4 the only Indiana, they feel alien•
ated in the program. The teacben think
they are radicala, aay the Milla', and
some of the 1tudenta call them raci,t
because Caroline and LeRoy 1treaa the
need for Indian communities lo have
their own schools. "They think we want
lo go back lo the tipL" One of \)le UPS
faculty described LeRoy u an "activist"
in bis evaluation.
UPS brought one Black into a clau to
offer the minority perspective, saya
Caroline. There are no Black studenta in
the program. LeRoy spoke once on the
Native American view of education.
The Milla' voiced familiar complaint&
about the program: The booka are
secondary sources and often it doean't
matter if the 1tudenta read them becauae there ia no diacuaaion of them;
some of the boob they buy are never
uaed; the program "lacks meat to it"; the
aaaignment ■ are not meaningful;
the
UPS teachers don't underatand the
Evergreen system, they "Give the impreuion that they don't want lo be
here." The faculty, add., LeRoy, have lo
race back lo UPS after clusea so studenta looe penonal contact.
LeRoy, who thinks the Evergreen
certification program "could be great
l,ec,luse of location and coot" believes
TESC deans could have developed a program here rather than contracting with
UPS. "If they want it.. they could do it."
The Milla' came lo Eversreen because
"of the open coneept" to develop their
own education. "UPS ia renting the
Evergreen campus," LeRoy says, "lt'a
not an Evergreen program at all."

Some studenta quetition the effectiveneaa of the method, and learning skilla

tendency of clauM lo overlap learning

insufficient level of leacber-1tudent interaction, and lo a lack of student intereat
in the counes taught.

The new Telll:ben Certification program is designed lo provide Evergreen

The Jftnfcture of the program is fundamentally the oame u that of the

and doea not stray from the pattern

Lewis. a college graduate

and overlapping but sometimes that'•
beneficial becauae it LI useful lo get a

A common ,omplaint among 1tudenla
is the lack of collaboration between UPS
faculty concerning program conten1..

catiae includes UPS figures on job placement data for 1977, and louta the fact
that all graduates have open aeceaa lo
the UPS placement service. The guide
proudly announee1 that 56% of their
certified studenla have full-time employment and that 10-16% have regular parttime employmenL In addition, the guide
mentiona that "approximately 16% of
our graduate& did not enter the job
market," wi~h . no explanation of why
they did not enter the market. The guide
tau. completely lo mention the 16-20%
of the studenla, who are presumably "in
the job market" but out of I job.
Evergreen suppooedly contracted with
UPS lo offer teacher certification becauoe of the high amount of field work
involved in the UPS program. A little
research into ,ompeting programa doea
not neeeuarily bear tbia out, however.
The Evergreen/UPS program includes
five quarter houn of field work in the
first quarter, ,mall amounta of field
work in the winter and spring quarten,
and almoot full-time student leaching
during the final quarter. However, field
work baa been dropped altogether from
this 1pring'1 COUne9 even though the
guide specifies that "you will spend part
of each quarter practice teaching.''
At the UofW, which alao offers a four·
quarter teacher eerulication program
concluding with a quarter of full-time
student teaching, the field work slacb
up a bit differently. Thal program require& three quarter hours of field work
in the first quarter, ei&bt in the second
quarter, and none in the third quarter.
This still totals up lo u much or more
field work than the Evergreen/UPS program currently provides.
The UofW program is quite interdisciplinary. It requires teacher certification
students to have taken one course each
in speech, geography, and math and
sciences, and to have accumulated 20

credits each in the humanities, the
social IICiencea,aq_d the natural sciences.
Plaa. the UofW insists on at leut six
credita in socio-ethnic studies. On the
other hand, the Evergreen/UPS plan
require• student.I to have t&k.en25 quar·
t.er hours each in only two of these
areu: Language Arla, Social Studies,
Mathematics and Sciences, Health and
Physical Education, Arts, and Humanities. (Remember, we are supposed to be
the interdiaciplinary school.)
To lop it off, the UofW baa a provision
for an "Individually Designed Inter·
disciplinary Major." Though this is
intended primarily for "non-certificatededucational rolea" (the UofW's own
language!), sludenta may receive teacher
certification
through this plan by
petitioning the College Advilory Office
and coming before a faculty committee of
the Department
of Education. The
Evergreen/UPS program baa no such
provision.
Content-wise, the Evergreen/UPS offeringa appear lo be fairly conventional.
and no core course offering focu1ee
specifically on any alternative methods
of education. In fact, a typical Ever·
green/UPS course entitled "Ed. 345Social Studies in the Elementary School"
sounda auspiciously similar lo UofW's
"EDC& I 366-Social Studies in the Elementary School." The main difference in
course offeringa is that UofW offers far
more counes than Evergreen could ever
hope to offer, due to its larger size.
The Little School in Bellevue is much
more comparable to Evergreen in size
and philosophy. This pre-school and
elementary school contracted with Pacific Oalta College in Puadena, California,
to offer a fifth-year program leading lo
eligibility for teacher certification in both
California and Wuhington. The Little
School's philosophy slates that "each
graduate student is recogni,.ed u an
individual with unique strengths, needs,
development and experiencee who can
use the program as a support system to
provide resources, models and u a help-

When 1tudenta are diaastisfied with
the atructure of an Evergreen program,
changes can uaually be made lo make
tbinga better. This is especially true in

labelled the aame thing."
Dziedziz adda. "I do feel that the UPS
faculty should aomebow be integrated
with the Evergreen faculty. It would be
very beneflcial lo the program. The UPS
faculty are learni!)g to do a good job and
they did make some con ■ tructive
changes from student preuure." "We

green could do this program four
thousand million times better," says
McCormick, "Evergreen
could do so
many fabulous things with the crappy
methods c:ounes," thinka Jones. "Treating us like nine--year-olda ia not going to
help us teach nine-year-old1. I feel u
though rm c,,ugbt in a public system, a
self-perpetuating 1yslem that will undoubtedly gel wone and worse.'"

Added Queen, "Hootetler aald at the

othera clearly thinlt any program eeuld

Although The Little School's small size
limita the number of offerings lo much
(ewer than Evergreen's offerings, the
scope of its program is broad. In con·
trut to Evergreen'• core course, such u
"Psychological Foundations of Education"
and "Teaching-Element& of Succeaa," The
Little School'a requirements include a
aeminar on human development with an
expressly interdi5ciplinary approach and
an individual studiea component. and a
seminar on "The School and the Society"
which i..s based on the premise of "the
school u a social inatitution."
Right down lo the lut detail. The
Little School offers alternatives lo the
conventional, institutional approach of
state schools. Whereas aU of the aforementioned
schools require

The major alternative that Evergreen

allows student.a to ta.ke regular Evergreen classes concurrently with the
Teacher Certification program. These
programs, such as Beryl Crowe's
"American Political Institutions"

Richard Jones' dream analysis, which

food stamps: a hungry outlook
By AleJUSX. Jetter
The Federal Foodstamp program baa
run out of money, and unless Congress
alloati,s supplemental funds by May 15,
there will be no Foodotamps tbia June
for the 22 million AmericaDOdependent
on them. Further. Congresa is now considering amendments to the 1980 and
1981 Foodstamp Acts which would exclude students and strikers, reinstate the
purchase requirement. and limit the income level of eligible families reprdleu
cl the number of children. These and
other amendment.a now being discussed
could "eliminate hundred• of thousands
cl people" from the Foodstsmp program,
estimated one local DSHS official.
Why bas the Foodstsmps program run
out of money, with four months left in
fiscal 1980? According to Dick Montoya,
Public Information Director for USDA'•
Western Region, Congress set "unreaJistic lids" on the program in 1977, in an
effort to exert more control over spending. The lid was set at $6.2 billion per
year, an "unrealistic projection for 1980."
With inflation raising the coet of food,
and unemployment swelling the Foodstamp population, the program is now
S2.65 billion dollars short of reaching its
October target.
State officials are frankly nervous
about the prospect of Congress not act•
ing in time. "We will still take applica-

lions right up to May 15," said Montoya,
..but we want to urge people to conserve
resouttes." Congreso seema to doubt its
own ability to move. indicated by a recent amendment to S1809 (the aupplemental appropriation bill) propooing that
the Federal government relmbune 1tate
governments that choose to use their
own funds to continue the program.
"Washington State doesn't have the
money anyway,"said Tom Ennia of the
Department
of Income Maintenance.
Seattle's Hunger Action Center hu sent
out a flier urging Foodatamp recipients
to '"shop wiaely," and DSHS bas mailed a
grim little packet to Washington Foodstamp recipients warning that payment.a
may be "reduced or suapended for July,
August, and September, also."
Watehing from the sidelines is the
Food Research and Action Center
(FRAC) of Washington D.C., whoae
lawyers are preparing a lawsuit against
Bob Bergland and the U.S. Department
of Agriculture.
According to Cecilia
Perry of FRAC, Secretary Bergland has
discretionary power to issue Foodstamps
while supplemental funding ia being diacussed by Congress. But ao far Bergland
has indicated he will send out letters to
regional Foodstsmp offices halting the
program if funding ia not definite by
May 15. FRAC's suit has been joined by

80 public intereat, labor and church
groups, and 28 atatea (Wuhingtoo State
is not one) ... We're not aure if we're going through with the auit," aaid Perry.
"Hopefully we won't have to."
Meanwhile, memben of joint Senate
and House Budget committee• are acurrying about, introducing a total of 18
amendments to S1309-all aimed at aluhing Foodstamp coets by eliminating varioua group• from eligibility. Eliminating
students from the program "baa been
suggested very serioualy." Senator Hayakawa (D-Cal) would like striking workers deemed ineligible, along with their
families.
Representative Foley (D-Spokane,WA)
successfully introduced a meuure in the
House changing the income eligibility
limits from the USDA Poverty Guideline
(adjusted twice a year) to the Consumer
Price Index (adjuated annually). Congress estimates a "savinga" of $300 million through that Jut meuure alone.
Other proposals include counting school
lunch benefits in determining a needy
family's loodstamp allotment ("A bureaucratic nightmare," according to DSHS's
Tom Ennis. "What if the kid staya home
from school? Do we call and find out bow
long she'll be sick?"), reducing the amount of permiasable liquid aasets from
Sl,750 to Sl,500, and reinatating the pur-

chase requirement for loodatampo. The
purchaae requirement wu diacootinued
a few years ago when it waa ahown that
it prevented the pooreat of foodatamp
recipients from receiving otampa.
Evergreen'• Self Help Legal Aid Program will explore the foodotamp aituation in a workshop May 28 at noon. Don

If you were amonJ the masses at last
fall's registration, you may remember
that the atmosphere resembled a Sonics
playoff game more than registration day
at coUege. Within two hours the line of
sludents stretched from the first floor
Library lobby, out the door, around the
building, and back toward the woods.
While it gave support to the college's
marketing blitz, the dilemma also proved
lhat the Registrar's office was unable to
adapt quickly to the unexpected increase
in students. Many stood in line for hours
before they could register, and the situation was frustrating for all concerned.
ln response, the Registrar's office has
instituted a policy of student registration by appointment. This procedure,
which began last week, will allow regislration staff to spend more time with
each student, hopefully avoiding the conrusion and misery of last September. Or
so hopes Walker Allen, Evergreen's
registrar.
"The purpose of scheduling appointments," explained Allen, "is not to create
more bureaucracy." Because of the small
,taff size of his office, Allen feels that
the new policy will help ease the overload traditionally experienced each fall.
The plan calls for three atudents to be
registered in a 30-minut.e period, 10
minutes per person, with latecomers

having to reachedule.
Specifically, Allen hopes that by devoting a set length of time to each student. many of the problems encountered
would be avoided. These problems include not registering for the proper
amount of credit, not having questions
answered fully (due, in part, lo 20 people
behind you, growling), and the general
confusion many have toward the regi,tration process.
Although enrollment

Erneat (Stone) Thomas
The Third World Coalition is an organization which serves the needs of Evergreen's Third World community. It was
founded in 1973, shortly alter Evergreen

"We started out u a Minority Coalition, with students, faculty and staff

recalls Coalition

By T. J. Simpson
F. W. Murnau's Sunrise never needs
lo be excused as a silent film. Jt is a com•
plete work, with forays into poetry and
visual symphony, but above all. it is total
Cinema. It must be judged and experienced as one would view a classic paint•
ing or listen to a piece of music. In other
words. it is the fullest realization of an
artform,
thereby
creating
its own
language and universe.

Sunrise lives inside you. rather than
being an external spectacle. Of course, it
is extremely pleasing to the eyes and
stimulating to the senses. but it's what
the images say to the mind that counts.
One is drawn

back into the

womb of

memory and emotion, to a pristine stage
where we once believed love would take
certain courses in life. Murnau creates a
subconscious nostalgia for this unblemished state of lwing and feeling through

As Faulkner said in Llaht in August.
··~·temory believes before knowing remembers."
Sunrise is a beautifully photographed
parable of love and redemption, man and
nature, and these forces triumphing over
decadence. The film is subtitled, "A Song
of Two Humans." Scriptwriter
Carl
Mayer, in the introduction
to his
scenario, proclaims, "(This is) the song of
man and woman that can make 1tseu
heard anywhere, in every age. in every
place, wherever the sun rises or sets. in

o;ame, sometimes
bitter.
sometimes
sweet, full of laughter and tears, sinsand forgiveness."
The story is about a country peasant

It wouldn't be lair to tell what happens after that, but I feel I can relate
some of the film's innumerable merits
without spoiling the story.
F. W. Murnau. along with Lang and
Pabst, was one of the masters of the
German Expressionist Cinema of the
1920's. In 1926, William Fox (of
Twentieth Century fame) invited him to
Hollywood, where Murnau was dubbed.
"the German Genius ... Fox gave Murnau
unlimited financial and labor resources to
let Murnau make whatever kind of film
he wanted. The result was Sunrise. one
of the most expensive films ever made at
that time and also a huge financial flop.
However, the critics responded enthusiastically to it and to this day. Sunrise is
universally hailed as one of the very best
films ever made. My personal admiration
for it is. admittedly, near fanatical.
I know my dreams will continue to be
haunted by such scenes as the couple

camera and hung from the rafters of the
studio. Two acrobats doubled for t.he
actors and the woman fell into a net out
of camera range. This was shot in
speeded-up motion and superimposed
with the image of the water.
The "city" was one gigantic mile-long
set, one of the costliest ever done. Much
of the lake scenes were shot on location
at Lake Arrowhead, California. When all
the leaves had fallen orr one of the trees
transplanted there, 300 Mexicans were
hired to replace the leaves one by one.
When the new leaves withered, t.he
Mexicans had to be brought back (which
was difficult because the only road that
led to the place was often blocked) to
replace the leaves again. During this
time. the extras waited and expenses
soared.
George O'Brien's slow, Frankensteinish gait is due to Murnau forcing him to
wear 20 pounds of lead weight.s in his
boots. It should be noted though, that
the acting is quite advanced for a silent
film. There are some of the silent movie
pantomime cliches, but on the whole,
there is a psychological depth to the performances that transcends even contemporary standards
of acting. Janet
Gaynor, in particular, is out.standing.

Besides multiple backgrounds (speaking ol which-I wonder what aU thoee
round lights symbolize?), there's a11C,a
multiple orchestra soundtrack (which
was composed for the mm and reeorded,
I believe, in 1928). There's sometimes
two soundtracks playing at once. For
instance, in the dance hall scene, we
hear the score's main theme playing over
the jazz dance-band music and purposely
unintelligible blues vocals. The effect
(which we share with the two main
characters on the screen) is like when
you're someplace where live music is
being played and you can't help but hum,
or think of. some tune different from the
band's.
Sunrise ends with !what else?) a sunrise, but oh. what a sunrise! Life suddenly takes on new meaning. The forces
of selfishness and corruption have been
conquered. Innocence and nature reign
supreme. The new day breaks and the
old one goes out the window and i.s forgotten. We witness and experience an
awakening, a rebirth, and a transformation. Such is the cycle of life and even if
one does not agree with Murnau's
thoughts, there's no denying the power
or his vision.
Sunrise was released in 1927, the same
year sound ftrst came in. It's oft.en said
by film historians and critics that the
last silent films were far superior to the
early talking ones. Looking at Sumioe,
that's obviously true. But Murnau never
really had a chance to prove what he
could do with talking fllms. In 1931, at the
age of 41, Murnau died in a tragic and
bizarre car accident while he was at the
peak of his career. We'll never know
how many more great films he might
have made, but we do know that the
cinema lost one of its great.est geniuses.

Last Sunday here, three women's
voices rang clearly, Mhoing the song of
their deepest spirita. Kim Scanlon, Judy
Johnson, and Sara Favret invoked the
music of their souls in celebration of
music and of Mothers' Day. Judging
from the audience's gaping response,
these women's voices were reminiscent
of the Sirens' song.
The song of the Sirens in Greek mythology was so com~ng,
so alluring, that

Ernest Schachte~ in his essay "On

in evoking the past. promises a delight
which will aUow no future," What ia the
nature of that memory? How doeo it
relate to the Mothers' Day concert here
at Evergreen?
From these women's breuta emerged
their spirits' voices, their spirits' yearning to be free-free from the mind's and
body's quarrelling, free from corporeal
compulsions, ephemeral regulations,, and
Tupperware'• titillationa; to be free to
dance and Dy throughout the rainless
sky. When singing "Somewhere Over the
Rainbow," these women's spirits seemed
to say, "Lay Down your Burden." Their

The story begins with Herman Heaae,
the German noveliat. who wrote a book
titled "Der Gluperlenapiel" Contained
therein ls an imaginary game called "The
Glaaa Bead Game."
Never defined, never given rules or
understandable procedurea, the game ia
a form of play and of complex interrelationships
between concepts from
such areas as mathematics,·
music,
physical sciences an<t phil-i,hy.
Thia idea sparked "The Gius Plate
Game" which was conceived and deve,1oped by Dunbar Altkena and ''The Committee-1or- the- Game~ in -the -late-'70..

Here we see that basic conflict which

yearning for life and unity, a.nd that of
total dissolution-death-which
