Registration goes on despite court action
by Ben Alexander
by Kathy Davis
A hearing examiner has ruled in favor
of Clara Fraser, the out-spoken radical
socialist 'eminist who was fired from
Seattle C11yLight in 1974. (See May I,
1980 CPJ. Front page.) On June 20, Sally
Pasette awarded Fraser $58,101 in back
pay and damages and ordered that the
utility reinstate her in her former job as
Education Coordinator or a comparable
position. A three-member hearing panel
has 30 days to approve, reje-cl or modify
the examiner's decision.
In a 15-page recommendation to the
city Human Rights Department, Pasette
said that Fraser'i- termination resulted
from her political beliefs and her advo-cacy of affirmativt action for women and
minorities. The utility claimed initially
that she was fired because of a 5 % cutback in staff. Later, they included in their
justification that she was "abrasive" and

"City Light's allegations about Fraser's
incompetence, inability to follow management directives, and failure to work full
hours are belated and unsubstantiated
charges," said Pasette. "Fraser's abrasive,
strident manner of criticizing City Light is
a protected activity when, under a ba.lanc•
in!( test, it is found that the content of
Fraser's statements did not have an adverse effect on the proper performance of
her duties."
Fraser's victory sets an important political and legal precedent because it is the
first test of a controversial section of
Seattle's Fair Employment Practices Ordinance- which prohibits discrimination of
workers based on the!r political beliefs.
Fraser was disappointed, however, when
Pasette ruled that sex discrimination was
not a factor in her dismissal from City
Light. Fraser contends that political and
sexual discrimination were linked because

F.....,r's hearing is estimated to be
$250,000, according to City Attorney
Doug Jewett. Last year, a $30,000 settlement agreed upon by Jewett, Fraser and
Seattle Mayor Chari .. Royer was rejected
by the city council by a 6-2 vote.
U Pa.sett•'s ruling is approved by the
hearing panel (they have until July 20 to
reach a decision) Fraser will go back to
work for Seattle City tight. Her relationship with the utility will be monitored for
the next two years by the dty Human
Rights Department. City Light will be
!'flluired to submit quarterly written
reports to the department for th• next U
months.
If the decision should be rejected by the
panel, Fraser says she may appeal to King
County Superior Court. Should the city
lose, however, there will be no further
appeal because, according to Jewett, "th•
city can't appeal its own procedures.''

read the opinion.
However, the Justice Department had
alreay filed an appeal with the Supreme
Court and ttqu .. ted Justice Brennan, who
oversees the F.ast Pennsylvania District, to
issue a stay of the federal c9urt' s injunction, pending appeal. The following day,
Brennan granted their ttqu .. t, from his
vacation spot on Nantucket Island. This
action did not ovmum the federal court's
finding, but rather stayed the order to
cease registration.
The legal ~ssions
of this battle on
men who decide not to JTgister is stiJI unclear. According to Ben A. Franklin of the
New York Tim... "The th,.....judge panel's
nullification of the draft statute means
that registration would be without force
of law, because the special court's ruling
that the law was unconstitutional cannot
be stayed." He continues that a spokesman for the Selective SeSystem said
that registration would go on "on a
voluntary basis."
ACLU attorney Daniel Weinberg
agreed, saying that regist!'ation would be
"entirely voluntary, because the government cannot prosecute those who choose
not to register under an unconstitutional
law."
In total contradiction to this statement,
Justice Department spokesperson Mark
Sheehan said, "As far as we're concerned,
the law is in full effect and registration
will go forward on Monday, and all those
riequired under the law to register are
under legal obligation to do so."
The actual question of the law's constitution~ity will not be decided on until the
full Supreme Court takes up the case,
probably next f.tll. The court is in recess
now. Opinions differ on the chance of the
Supreme Court overturning the federal
court's ruling. Attorneys for the ACLU
think that the chance is slim, for the high
court has set an historic precedent over
the past 2 1/2 decades of ruling sexually
discriminatory laws unconstitlijional.
However, Brennan said that there was a
"fair" chance that the Supreme Court will
~entualJy overturn the lower court's
finding.

LIBRARYRESPONSE
Dear Editor, This letter is a response to
John DeGolyer's letter concerning Library
hours. The Library staff certainly appttciates John's position on "a library is the
heartbeat of the intellectual life of a college," however, there is a cost factor that
needs to be considefe'd. That cost factor
also includes a concern for security and
full usage of the Library when it is open.
In response to John's suggestion that two
students could run the Library, we need
to have a librarian in the Library during
the hours the library is open, and three
students. We also have utility costs to
consider. Statistics show that the Library
is being used by an average of seven
people after 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays this
summer 1 do not think it is reasonable or
prudent to expand our hours for so few
people. If anything, we should consider
reducing the hours.
The Library is interested in serving the
needs of the students, faculty and
Olympia community users. There are
needs that should be met other than being
open for less than ten people. We can
assist more people by using our staff for
t'I her services.

Roslonal Plannin1 Council planner
Fttd Kn01tman, if the latHI proposed

by the County Commissioners.
Knostman's remarb came at a public hoarin1 last Thursday nisht that

extensive.
The county zoning ordi~nce hu
been in preparation
for the past
decade. It is supposed to incorporate
the polici.. of locally developed subarea plans into a comprehensive whole.
Six subarn plans have been developed
and approved over the past ten years.
Ono such plan is the Cooper Point
Ordinan". This plfn was ~ed
by
a neighborhood sroupf, the Cooper
Point Association, in such a way as to
accommodate growth while praerving

Tho Cooper Point Ordinance was
pasaod only alter a year of hard-fousJ,t
battlos, includin1 numerous disputH
and compromisa with local devoloporw
and landownen. Alter eight years of
effective operation, it is exemplary of
grassroots community participation.
All this time and effort will be
wasted if the fourth draft county zoning ordinance gets passed by the
county commissioners.
The tbird version of the ordinance,
prepared by the county planning commission, contained all of the previously
wr{tten subarea plans. inclumg rural
residential area density limit of 1 unit
per 5 acres, and specific standards and
regulations for development, such as
maximum height, etc. Commissioner
George Barner supports this plan. This
version, intended to maintain local
character, has been opposed by a
group of f'ealtors and developers called
the Thurston
Regional Land Use
Federation.
The fourth, most recent version, unexpectedly changed prior to Wednesday and Thursday nisJ,t's hearin15,
contains very little of these features.
Virtually none of the subarea' s specific
regulations were kept, and the 1 to 5
density standard applies only to areas
with critically poor soil conditions.
The Cooper Point height limitation
~Y be Waived for a dev~lopment that
includes a variety of housing type.
n..., an just a few of the chani,,.
-i., This version has the support of commissioners Del Petit and Woody
Anderson, and tho Thunton Regional
Land Uso Federation.
last week, Anderson was pre,ented
with a petition signed by 662 Cooper
Point residents, opposing the latest
draft zoning ordinanc,,. The Allied
Neighborhoods Association, a coalition
of neighborhood groups from Baker
Prairie, Boston Harbor, Cooper Point,
Delphi, Northeast Thurston Action,
Southeast Olympia, Westside, and
Long Lake Improvement Association,
went on record last week opposing the
ordinance. The vast majority of the
200 members of the audience for Wednesday night's hearing were opposed to
the new draft ordil'lance.
Various lame excuses for the new
proposal have been offered up: Petit
says that he is not convinced that a
clear majority of residents are opposed
to the new draft, while there was a
cl.ear majority opposed to the third
draft. Anderson says that develo~
ments will still haVe to meet with state
environmental regulations, though a
spokesman for the state Game Department says that his agency would have
no power over county development
and Thurston County Deputy Pros-ecuting Attorney assures us that the
commission is within its legal rights to
disregara specifics of the subarn plans.
We also ruwe thew dubious re--assurances:
o Larry Blackerby, praldcnt of tho
und Ute Federation, said the commissioners had "Come a long way to
make a compromise ordinance . "
• Developer Frank T obinski believes
that the proposal is a "common sense
ordinance and is not directed toward
sp«ial interest groups." Tobinski. who
owns land on Cooper Point but does
not live there, has proposed in the past
building high-rise apartments
on
Cooper Point.
• Realtor John Puckett believes that
the subarea planning process encourages a ··provincial.
protective and
selfish" attitude.
If y~ don't want to see local residents w"lilked all over by railroading
county commissioners contact them
soon and voice your opposition to the
fourth draft zoning ordinance. The
commissioners will be accepting written comments on the proposal until the
end of today, Thursday, July 24, so
time is of the essence. The proposal
will be brought to final action by
August 12. Now is the time to protest
the proposed ordinance which would
permit Cooper Point to be developed
to death at an even faster rate than is
already happening.

ln the coming ~an, IPS's new director
Robert Borosage sees the Institute continuing its work with developins alternatives for local public policy. "For
example," Borosage ,ays, "we're looking
into the possibiity of state or community
development banlc.s
which would be more
reponsive to the needs of new citimls."
International economics and human
rights is a second direction lfS expects to
amtinue pursuing in the Eighties. The
Transnational Institute a.cts as the State
Dopartmmt of !PS in this regard. Scholars
and authors Ihm, are publishing books
and pamphlets ..bout the power of multinational cor"pa'ations in the Third World,
about U.S. meddling in the economies of
Third Worl.d governments. and about
world hunger "caused by plunder, not
by scarcity."
Finally, the third major concern ci IPS
in the 1980s is a.rms control and national
security. Matching the IPS tradition for
timely prognostication, Borosage said in
early 1978: '7hr country is in a precarious state. Kissinger used weapons as
bargaining dups and the result is increasing proliferation. For the first time
in a while, I think we're getting another
red scare ... "
Oddly enough, it was al an arms control conference that Marc Raskin and
Dick Bamet first laid eyes on one another.
Raskin remembers the moment exactly:
"I was working with Bundy on the disarmament corhttnces. We met with
people from State and from th~ militaryall the big names. Rusk, Rostow, Nitlle,
McCloy, a long row of generals-it was
the whole miliwy industrial establishment sitting there at one table."
Barnet continues: "The table was
ablaze with stars...:..moregenerals than you
ever saw together. Then McCloy got up
to open tho meetings and said, "If this
group cannot bring about disarmament,
then no one can.• Marc and I both
grimaced at the same time-.and we knew
we didn't belong there."
The Utah legislature is considering a
resolution that would THtrict the sale
of ice cream because "the increased

increased use of heavy ice cream present
a serious throat to the very fiber of family

I: almost goes without saying that when
father Daniel Berrigan, SJ. was on the lam
in 1971 for torching innocent drat! class1ficauon forms of the Cantonsville Drat!
Board Office. he earned the enduring ire
ol then-FBI director J. Edgar Hoover The
tugitive clenc had a humiliating way of
seeming to be everywhere, except in
custody. An outraged Hoover is now
known to have scrawled comments in
blue ink in the margins of disappointing
investigative reports on the progress of
the search: "This subject must be apprehended at the earliest time possible." Or:
"Why aren't we making more progress
on this?"
Now Charlie McConis, a Seattle
teacher, peace activist, and priest, who
confesses to being a belated participant in
the history he so moving)y records, has
done something which J. Edgar Hoover
and all the Soecial A~ents in the world
could never do: he has "captured" the
Catholic Left. In this lean, compelhng
volume published a few months ago by
the Seabury Press, McConis probes beneath the media hyperbole of the 1960's.
He exposes both the grace and the clumsiness of this far-flung community of
religious activists (who were, after all,
Protestant. Jewish and A.gnostic as well as
Catholic) which managed to enrage not
only Hoover but a plethora of conserva-
live, law-abiding Catholics who could not
fathom why in God's name a priest
should be pouring blood or napalm on
draft rKords.
The book consists of a series of overlapping, chronologically arranged interviews woven into a taut narrative that
often reads more like an Agatha Christie
thriller than a historical chronicle.
McConis arranR,ed the interviews-46 in
all-by the "snowbaU" techniquestarting with his friends in the Movement
and asking them to refer him to others,
and so on.

gone wild on th• second Wttkmd In July.
Water Street twned Into food alley, lined
with booths sponsored by Kiwanis,
church organizations and th• lib. The air
wu thick with the mingling aromas of
burgffl,
frin, tacos, German sauuges,
com on the cob, homemade pi• ala mode
and, of courw, the venerable com dog.
Th• parking lot by the lak• became a
carnival midway filled with mtthanlcal
devices dnigned to tum human being,
upside down, insideout, tilt them at
every posaible angle and then, spin them
around at high speed. Th•y blasted out
rock 'n roll music, not quite loud enough
to· cover up the shrieks and screams of
their riders.
'1t's a fun gam•I It's a family gam•I''
one of the professional hawkers continually shouted out from the row of carnival
games. Hlre, for only 50c a try, one
could toss ping pong balls for goldfish
(yes, live ones), go bowling for frogs (no,
stuffed ones) or throw darts for a chance
to win a Susan Anton pin-up poster. At
one booth, live parakeets huddled
nervously in a cage in the center of a
group of little pink ash trays. Anxious
gamers aimed and tossed their pennies
toward the dishes, as the little birds
chirped and ducked out of the way of th•
nying coins.
Besides the traditional carnival chaos,
a myriad of events and competitions
occurred all over the area : Melodrama
and vaudev ~lie were performed in Capital
Lake Park; hot atr balloons, s 1VttS
and hang glide~ soared through the sky:
horse shows, bicycle racn, soccer jamborees, tennis and golf tournaments. runs
for runnen and sever&l different species of
boat races-even a race for bathtub
enthusiasts. Down at th• Port of Olympia,
the Navy proudly showed off their 395'
destroyer, the USS Mcl<ean.
The Grand Twilight Parade on Saturday evening wu th• highlight of Labfair
w .. bnd. It started at 6 o'clock, but u
•arly as 1 o'clock people had .-rved
their spots along the parade route of
Capital Way and 5th Ave. Thooe who did
not know what wu tcheduled to occur
probably thought it a bit strange to folh sitting In lawn chain on the side-
walks of downtown Olympia patiently
watching the traffic. By the time the procession started, the sidewalks were
jammed with eager spec.ta.tors.
The parade was long-102 entriesincluding marching bands, drill teams,
horse clubs and floats from other local
festivals. The drill team from the Chinese
Community of Seattle, dressed in their
dazzling red satin costumes, and an
African dance troupe backed up by a hot
percussion section were two of the most
unique and memorable entries.
Each time the army came marching
down the street, the crowd stood respectfully. They cheered and applaud•d at the
sight of the big green tanks a.nd guns.
No summer festival would be complete
without a reigning queen chosen tram a
court of young lovelies. Both the brand~
new Miss Lakefair and last year's queen
were in the parade. along with all the
queens and royal courts from other community festivals in Western Washington.
Smiling and waving in their fluffy chiffon
gowns and perfect hair-dos. they provided
animated decoration to their flowery
floats.
Lakefair ended on Sunday night with a
fireworks display more spectacular than
most seen on the 4th of July. But, no, it
was the second weekend in July and it
was a once-each-year chance to see
Olympians of every size, shape and walk
of life gathered together to celebrate
nothing in particular.
