Cut their pay
To the Editor:
If Evergreen needs $10,000 a year for
the next five years so badly, I have a better idea than tUi ning the campus into
Weyerhaeuser West Side. Why don't we
take a little poll and select the names of
two dozen or so incompetent and / or donothing faculty and cut their pay - I bet
we could get a lot more than $50,000 out
of it after a while.

Is this college really closed on weekends? Do students really vanish into thin
air on weekends? This seems to be the
prevailing notion, but I have seen quite a
few stranded bodies of students floating
around here on weekends.
Every time I ask a question about this,
the reply is: "It's too expensive." It's too
expensive at an institution of higher learning to keep the library open all weekend.
It says in the catalog that the essential
business of the community is to "foster
learning." It's too expensive to offer food
service on weekends. Nter all, since the
library is closed nobody will be here anyway. It's too expensive to offer anything
but marginal security here, especially on
weekends . Too bad about the 18 cars that
got "trashed" this weekend in parking lot

I think that some reordering of priorities is necessary . Why should we have
the "world's greatest" mountain climbing
equipment , when there isn't enough
money to keep the library open? Why
should the college provide any food service on weekends, when there are perfectly
good restaurants within five or ten miles?
Why should we have to pay for parking
permits, when we could have our cars
"trashed" every two weeks? After alL
why pay $25 for a parking permit, to
save yourself $500, when your car gets
"trashed?"
Are we too close to these problems to
be able to see the ..forest for the trees?
Why not devote our attention to more
pressing needs, like "the dog problem 7"

To the Editor:
In reply to Stuart Chisholm's letter iii
the Feb . 6 issue of the JournaL I can only
say that his attitude seems typical of this
affluent society's confused environmental
priorities. When one considers that there
are more than 60 million dogs of both pet
and wild varieties in the United States
consuming an amount of food approachfebruary 20, 1975
ing 5 billion pounds annually, and that
other species of pet life, in our country
alone , account for about 8 billion pounds
of food stuff, I am left with serious doubt
as to the propriety in terms of the survival! ecology of pet ownership. The 8
billion pound figure is based on my own
calculations of average pet consumption
per day of under 0.75 pounds or 350
grams.
Considering the amount of foodstuffs
involved, perhaps the United States could
truly aid the world food crunch by elimination of our pet population and the
donation of the pets and the next year's
appJicable food production to needy nations throughout the globe.
This a~t of love on th-e--human sca~
would offset the obvious human emotional losses of the pet(s) involved with a
deeper feeling of human brotherhood.
Cold and cruel logic 7 Possibly, but
haven't we been dodging real solutions to
cutbacks in waste for too long7 Dog was
a ceremonial feast meal for sO.m e Native
American tribes. Would the consumption
of pets _be that radically different from
eating beef hamburger, lamb, or even a
chicken 1 The. crux of this rhetoric is my
own moral objec;tion to pet ownership in
an era of world famine and rising life support costs, and a bow to the logic of vegetarianism.
- We, as the peopl~ of a nation that-consumes 38 percent of the world's energy
output with 6 percent of its population,
had better provide the leading example of
conservation for the world if we should
advise them how to develop .
The absence of pets could be replaced
with feelings of renewed human love that
we have been selfishly devoting to pets . .

"Hard times," a condition in

the state of affairs for everyone, except for the very rich .
As Kraig Peck's commentary in
this issue of the Journal explains, while the economy
worsens, working people - including students - are hit by
unemployment, falling wages,
and skyrocketing prices . Budgets for higher education are
slashed and tuition is hiked at
a time when people can least
afford it.
But why is this happening?
Inflation and recession are not natural disasters like hurricanes ,or earthquakes; they are the unavoidable outcome of an anarchic economic system . And it's no secret that whenever this system goes haywire, we' re
asked to make "sacrifices" in order. to save it from complete self-destruction.
As Peck's piece relates, tuition hikes for Evergreen and all state
schools are at issue in a public hearing tonight, Feb. 20, at the Capitol.
Since the article was written, new developments have taken place. The
Council on Higher, Education now plans to amend House Bill 453 to
include tuition hikes for Evergreen . Their amendment calls for an $81
yearly increase for third and fourth years students and a $12 decrease
for first and second year students . The Council, setting prites for higher
education based on supply and demand, hopes to attract more students
to state colleges instead of universities or community colleges where enrollment is increasing rapidly . Their plan seems to be one of dividing
students so that we cannot effectively challenge their attack.
But it may not work. For the first time in Washington's history, students at all schoo ls are united to take common action against an attack
on our interests . While President Ford and Governor Evans call ·for "sacrifices," many peop le are responding, "No!" and instead choose to defend their interests . As Peck's commentary implores, we have good reason to do so tonight.

Some people like them, some don't, and others are not too concerned; but,
whatever opinion is felt, the new Evergreen campus and causeway signs have been
noticed.
Constructed by the Popich and Chris Sign Company, Seattle, the sign construction costs we~ approximately $19,500. That price includes the cost of the craftsmens' hourly wages, materials, and taxes, Bidding convened last September and
Popich was awarded the co~tract on Oct. 16.
January 31 saw completion of the sign construction with the exception of minor
repairs. That particular day was also heralded with nonchalant, upset and I or
"who-dun-it" student reactions to the signs.
According to Evergreen student Alan Krieger, the signs are useful 'because the
campus is confusing, especially to visitors." He continued, "Although the signs are
not the most artistic, they fit the massive concrete buildings and do the job all
right. It is helpful to know where you are going."
Says student David Bley, "Nineteen thousand, five-hundred dollars I And they
are raising student tuition prices?"
"They are ridiculous, a waste of money, and make Evergr~n look like a hospital. They are a lso ugly," declared student Frank Atkinson. He added, "I don't
think we need them."
Director of FacilitieS Jerry Schillinger also had a definite opinion . He said, " I like
these new signs. I think they came out every bit as good as we expected, and were
very necessary . The problem of not having signs lies in . getting lost, and it has
been a four-year struggle getting people orientated to the campus when traveling
via the parkway."
Initially included in the Evergreen campus master plans, the signs were designed
by Don Voyan through a local engineering firm, Arvid Grant and Associates, Incorporated. According to Vogan, two primary objectives were observed in designing these signs.
"The signs had to be large enough to communicate their message, yet be as unobtrusive as possible so to supplement Evergreen's environment," Vogan states _
"For example, the Evergreen causeway previously had an enormous amount of
single-statement signs; however, we cut a great percentage of these temporary
signs by designing the present signs to organize nece's sary messages into an easy-toread, complete system."
Vogan also noted that Popich is including this recent sign construction in an advertising brochure as the company considers it "one of the best jobs they've ever
done."
The aluminum causeway signs have removable panels should directional changes
occur and are as small as possible considering the reading rate in moving vehicles.
Sporting a reflective Scotch-light tape, these road signs can also be seen clearly by
nighttime drivers.
,
Visible from across the Evergre~n plaza, the white lettering of the campus signs
measures six inches by four and one-half inches and is constructed from clear cedar
by a sand-blasting process.
Many agree that the signs are impressive. Admits student Greg Starling, III,
"The signs are pretty; however, I don't think it was a wise use of funds. I really
don't understand the purpose of the campus signs."
Says student Tom Graham, "I think in many cases they are strategically located
so as to confuse everyone, but I like them ."
When 'asked her opinion, student Sally Wilson stated, "I don't feel the signs
merit all the controversy directed at them ; after all, they are just signs ."

Some people like them, some don't, and others are not too concerned; but,
whatever opinion is felt, the new Evergreen campus and causeway signs have been
noticed.
Constructed by the Popich and Chris Sign Company, Seattle, the sign construction costs we~ approximately $19,500. That price includes the cost of the craftsmens' hourly wages, materials, and taxes, Bidding convened last September and
Popich was awarded the co~tract on Oct. 16.
January 31 saw completion of the sign construction with the exception of minor
repairs. That particular day was also heralded with nonchalant, upset and I or
"who-dun-it" student reactions to the signs.
According to Evergreen student Alan Krieger, the signs are useful 'because the
campus is confusing, especially to visitors." He continued, "Although the signs are
not the most artistic, they fit the massive concrete buildings and do the job all
right. It is helpful to know where you are going."
Says student David Bley, "Nineteen thousand, five-hundred dollars I And they
are raising student tuition prices?"
"They are ridiculous, a waste of money, and make Evergr~n look like a hospital. They are a lso ugly," declared student Frank Atkinson. He added, "I don't
think we need them."
Director of FacilitieS Jerry Schillinger also had a definite opinion . He said, " I like
these new signs. I think they came out every bit as good as we expected, and were
very necessary . The problem of not having signs lies in . getting lost, and it has
been a four-year struggle getting people orientated to the campus when traveling
via the parkway."
Initially included in the Evergreen campus master plans, the signs were designed
by Don Voyan through a local engineering firm, Arvid Grant and Associates, Incorporated. According to Vogan, two primary objectives were observed in designing these signs.
"The signs had to be large enough to communicate their message, yet be as unobtrusive as possible so to supplement Evergreen's environment," Vogan states _
"For example, the Evergreen causeway previously had an enormous amount of
single-statement signs; however, we cut a great percentage of these temporary
signs by designing the present signs to organize nece's sary messages into an easy-toread, complete system."
Vogan also noted that Popich is including this recent sign construction in an advertising brochure as the company considers it "one of the best jobs they've ever
done."
The aluminum causeway signs have removable panels should directional changes
occur and are as small as possible considering the reading rate in moving vehicles.
Sporting a reflective Scotch-light tape, these road signs can also be seen clearly by
nighttime drivers.
,
Visible from across the Evergre~n plaza, the white lettering of the campus signs
measures six inches by four and one-half inches and is constructed from clear cedar
by a sand-blasting process.
Many agree that the signs are impressive. Admits student Greg Starling, III,
"The signs are pretty; however, I don't think it was a wise use of funds. I really
don't understand the purpose of the campus signs."
Says student Tom Graham, "I think in many cases they are strategically located
so as to confuse everyone, but I like them ."
When 'asked her opinion, student Sally Wilson stated, "I don't feel the signs
merit all the controversy directed at them ; after all, they are just signs ."

Washington State Representative Jim
Kuehnle (R-Spokane) has met w ith a veritable groundswell of public opinion in
favor of his long-fought crusade to make
Evergreen a "more conventional" fouryear college in response to his unilateral
survey of Olympia residents on the subject. '
According to Kuehnle, not only did
"only one-third" (a plurality) believe that
the proposed $17.5 million operating budget for the college is a sound investment
of taxpayers' dollars, but even before the
surveys were returned the state representative had received: 22 phone calls with
95 percent favonng his position; 50 letters
with 84 percent supporting him; and a
total of six personal visits from Olympia
residents expressing a statistical total of 83
percent support for the representative
w ho once characterized Evergreen as a
"sandbox for delinquents."
The survey was mailed to every 82nd
name in the Olympia p hone book, 1 per-·
cent of Olymp'i a's residents, with a 46 percent response. Respondents were asked
questions such as: "TESC should be (a)
continued along present lines, (b) changed
to a more conventional four year college,
or (c) closed and tax dollars used elsewhere;" or, "Seminars and open meetings
at TESC such as have been presented
concerning male homosexuality, lesbianism, marijuana usage, World Liberation,
and other such thought-provoking subjects should be (a) encouraged, (b) discouraged, or (c) eliminated;" or, "I feel
that most students graduating from TESC
will (a) be well qualified to assume a proFebruary 20, 1975
Twenty- one students have been selected for the 1975-76 Year in Nepal
group contract. Some of the students, selected by the group contract faculty, have
withdrawn from the contract for various
reasons and only 16 or 17 students will
eventually participate.
David Peterson, Kathleen Watts-PeteT'son and Willi Unsoeld, the faculty for the
program, expla ined that they intentionally
tried to make the program sound difficult
so some people would "select themselves
out."
Students selected for the program were
required to meet some prerequisites. T hey
were preferably third and fourth yea r students , They were required to submit a
written application explaining their areas
of expertise and interests, and the areas in
which they hoped to develop projects, In
addition, the Year in Nepal faculty asked
students to submit two letters from faculty members describing the student's
background.

CLABAUGH APPEAL
The Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing Feb. 26 at 10 a.m. to review a
unanimous decision of the All Campus
Hearing Board last month which reversed
Administrative Vice-President Dean Clabaugh's appointment of John Moss to the
dual directorship of Auxiliary Services
and Personnel.
.Summing up the trustees' attitude
toward ascepting the case, Board 'Chairman Thomas Dixon stated, "Yes, hell, we
should hear it and not shrink from our responsibilities." Janet Tourtellotte, another
trustee, prompted laughter from the audience when she added, "We can't make a
decision simply on the (Hearing Board's)
transcript. . . there a.re many places
where the tape didn't come through."
The Workers Chorus continues the conference Friday afternoon at 2: 30 with a
historical perspective of work in the
United Stated through songs and readings.
Concluding the conference "On Working" will be another performance of "Interview : A Fugue for Eight Actors" at

Urging the Board to hear the appeal,
Bob Hatala, a visitor associated with the
American Council on Education, stated
that the All Campus Hearing Board had
had two legal opinions to choose from one from HEW, the other written by Assistant to the Attorney General Richard
Montecucco. "It's a matter of considerable consequence to the future of this college and its practice in promotion as opposed to opening up positions whether the
legal jurisdiction of the college is 'in the
hands of one agency or another." He
added that he hoped the Board would not
make a decision on the basis of popularity
or threats.
Dixon asked Hatala what he meant by
the word "threats." Hatala answered that
he had heard in Thompson's statement an
"implicit reference to the kind of student
demonstrations" as had occurred in the
60s. Dixon retorted, "And I read into
what you said: Maybe the niggers are
gonna come back and . close us down
again."
, There was some discussion as to
whether the trustees should go into executive session to determine procedures. Lee
Chambers, staff member and a plaintiff,
argued that the Board would be in violation of the Open Meetings Act if they
met ·p rivately.
However, Montecucco teqned the
matter before the Board quasi-judicial,"
stating it was "totally exempt from the
Open Meetings Act."
The Board stated in their written outline of procedures to be used in the Feb.
26 hearing that there will be no audience

Practical. Ecology:
Two Opinions
By KIM GOODMAN
Practical realizations of environmental
ethics were the subjects of two presentations made at Evergreen the week of Feb.
3. Carl Hocevar spoke on the safety of
nuclear power plants and Bob ' Skelly
illustrated the problems, goals , and
accomplishments in implementing soc}alist
land use control policies in British
Columbia.
Hocevar is now a member of the Union
of Concerned Scientists after lea~iQg a
position with Aerojet Nuclear as· a
nuclear engineer in the fall of 1974. Skelly
is currently a member of the Legislative
.Assembly of British Columbia.
Hocevar's Feb. 5 presentation, "Nuclear
Power: Is it Safe1", dealt with the
problems that have arisen with nuclear
generating facilities that have been built
and that are being built currently. He also
pointed out the monumental problems
involved in storage and disposal of
nuclear waste.
Hocevar emphasized the responsibilities
of the public in dealing with nuclear
power. 'The public in the long run has to
mak(> the decisions," he said in regard to
the establishment of a nuclear power
network. The question is, he said, 'What
risks do they want to take1" Utilities have
said that nuclear power plants are "safe,
clean, and reliable." But ~n the eyes of
many scientists, "we really don't know"
how safe o~ ~~~!e they a~e.
At the present time, computer models
and predictions (some of the most useful
'o f which Hocevar developed) are used to
aid in quantifying the effects of
hypothetical nuclear accidents. Unfortunately, according to Hocevar, "At the
present time, we don't know how
accurate the prediction techniques are,"
even though they have been compared
against experimental data.
"Safety systems on present nuclear
plants are just add-ons," Hocevar pointed
out, likening them to emission control
systems on automobiles. "They don't do
the bat jobs" he added.
EndIng hls presentation, Hocevar reexamined the need for the public to
become aware of the dangers involved in
nuclear power gtneration and the risks
that have to be taken if nuclear power is
the power source they choose.

spoke to members of the Pacific
Northwest: People on the Land Coordinated studies program on Feb. 7.
. During his 'taik wi"th students, Skelly
said that since socialis ts had gained
control of the Assembly in 1972, they
have been "a ttemotin£ to rprtic;trihute the
w~C!lt.t( ~n Bri!ish Columbia.
The redistribution of the wealth is being
accomplished in a large part by the
regaining of control of land. Skelly said,
"Qver 90 percent of the land in the
province is owned by the public." Since
1972, the government has been involved
in buying out timber companies that
refuse to or cannot comply with
environmental restrictions placed' on
logging operations. The government then
follows its own practices in logging
operations and then returns the profits to
the public.
The government also is subsidizing
f.um lands. Due to rising cost and lack of
interest in farming, farms are being subsi-

dized by the government to make that
occupation more economically attractive,
especially since farmland is at a premium
in British Columbia, and must be used.
One of the major points Skelly made
was that the government now has a
policy of insuring that it receives full
commodity value from companies deloping natural resources on government
land. This policy was not used before,
and allowed corporations to make
excessive profits which were not returned
to benefit . the public. This policy has a
certain amount of impact on the economy
of the Pacific Northwest because there are
some major U.S. based corporations
involved in timber harvesting in British
Columbia, and they cannot reap the same
profits that were allowed under the
previous adm inistration.
In concluding his discussion, Skelly
said, "The days are over when the timber
barons can go in and cut out the best and
leave the junk."

The well-publicized "Walker Brothers,"
Phillip Hamilton and David Rogan of
Vashon, Wash., left Olympia Wednesday,
jan. 29 to continue their 40,OOO-mile trek
around the world.
Hamilton, 21, and Rogan, 24, set out
last June 20, and have ventured approximately 3,000 miles on old trails and abandoned roads since their departure from
Anchorage, Alaska. Although most of
their Alaskan and Canadian trip has been
on foot, the twosome have canoed since
reaching Puget Sound waters at Vancouver, B.C., a total distance of 475 miles.
Both expect to accomplish the trip
within 10 years - traveling under their
own steam. Suggesting that a world problem is too much speed, Rogan stated,
"We are in no hurry and have no interest
in speed records."
"Through our travels, we hope to promote worldwide environmental awareness," says Rogan, He conti~ued, "The
amount of destruction to the land and
wildlife is great, and we feel this is probably our only way of furthering an awareness through the media ."
Hamilton added, "Our trip developed
from a dream we both shared as we enjoy
nature, good health, and travel. That
dream and our friendship keeps us going."
Each presently carry 35 to 40-pound
packs which include various camping and
photography equipment, clothing, and a
meager lood supply. According to Rogan,
their staple diet will consist largely of a
concoction called Gorp-meal , containing
10 different grains, dried nuts and fruits ,
brown sugar and dried milk. Only water
need be added.
Several organizations are supporting
their endeavor through equipment and
foodstuffs donation s. These include the
February 20, 1975
Sunny Jim, Health Tree, JanSport, Kelty
and Nikon corporations. Many outdoor
recreation companies have also been generous in providing discounts on supplies,
The pair are now en route to San Francisco to meet with their sponsoring group,
the Frie'n ds of the Earth, who wi ll later
publish guides, periodicals, and diaries
collected throughou't the trip.
Continuing from San Francisco on the
Pacific Crest Trail , their next temporary
stop is Mexico's Baja Peninsula where
Hamilton and Rogan expect to complete
"Expedition Afoot," a book a~out the
Alaska-Mexico phase of their journey. In
addition to publishing an environmental
statement, both hope the book will help
finance the remainder of the trip.
After the Mexico stopover, the brothers
plan to hike through Central America to
the South American east coast city of Rio
de Janeiro in Brazil , where their sailboating spree to Cape Town, South Africa,
will begin.
Hamilton and Rogan then intend to
walk the African eastern coast to the
lower Middle East countries, crossing over
to India, Nepal, and Pakistan. Passing
through China along the Great Wall, both
express a desire to climb Mount Everest in
the Himalaya mountain range . It is on to
Siberia from China and home to Anchorage via the Bering Strait.
"We hope to hit the Bering Straits in
January when they a re frozen and we can
walk across," says Rogan.
Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul J.
Rogan of San Diego, will assist Hamilton
and Rogan 100 percent by establishing a
permanent ' mailing address and contact
point; and, if necessary, will write letters '
to ambassadors of those countries which
maintain a c1osed-C1oor policy to traveling. In any case, both men intend to
"cross tHat river" when they come to it.
Concluding their visit, the brothers extended an invitation to anyone interested
in joinin g them on their expedition,
whether for one day or 10 years. Those
interested are asked to contact the Rogans
at 1166 Avocado Aven., Escondido,
Calif., 92026.

How has, or rather, has the organizing of the workshops
affected me? Have I actually found out anything I hadn't
already known? My exposure to different aspects of the problems
involved with working brings forth those emotional feelings
of being trapped in work, political thoughts of why I feel
trapped, and feelings of not wanting to think about the problems
involved with having a job . Wanting to leave it all, to see it
somehow resolve itself. Most of all not wanting to see or get in
touch with what is often the compromise of having to work,
or the realization that even that obscure person (worker) matters
and matters most of all.
I honestly have difficulty seeing myself in a job role again.
It is frightening to think about. Organizing this thing, while
helping me get in touch with my empathy for a person in a job
role, has actually moved me further away from ever wanting "just a Job." I hate "just a Job;" its structure; its regimentation; its lack of fulfillment. But I have also gotten in touch with
the fear of "not working," the lack of security and often the
lack of a purpose that comes with being unemployed. n~e
societal mold pulls and tugs at me for the nine-to-five job
- I move away from the mold, only to seek its secl\rity at
anot her time.
February 20, 1975
What do I feel? Sick to my stomach - from a combination
of stage fright, the absent-mindedness of a crazy director and the
hovering mother hen attending to details, worrying and getting
my little family of actors together for the really "big show ."
The awe of feeling we're going to be on "the Ed Sullivan
show" - if an Evergreen conference can be compared to the
Ed Sullivan show.
I've been working "On Working" for three months now .
It's grown from a tiny seed of ideas and been watered and fed
and nurtured by each new person involved. Each level of organization: the basic premises, the questions about work we're
asking ourselves and each other; the panels trying to capture
and illuminate the person, the job; trying to provide a dynamic
situation for the unemployed, for the personnel officers,
the haves and the have-nots, the with-jobs and the 'without
jobs.
The Evergreen panel with all the workers who keep Evergreen
functioning and happening ; the workers who pass each other
in the halls or see each other in terms of their job titles but maybe not as people ; all the myriad workshop contacts, get- .
ting in touch with what's happening in work - how are
people relating at large, on campus, in Olympia, to each other
and getting people to tell their side, all these will contribute
to our goal of peop'\e exposing and sharing themselves
with others.
Each name, each face has been a contributing factor to "On
Working" - throwing sunlight and vitamins on this tiny
seed until now it is as big as a beanstalk and what a better place
to start a living organic plant life than at Evergreen - evergreen, ever sun, ever growing and ever energy.
The putting together of this conference has been like a production with a multitudinous cast, several directors, a chorus,
singers, readers, workshop finders, organizers, publicity, printing,
and sponsors. The theme "On Working" following a script
sometimes, writing and rewriting and improvising; other times
, seeing how the scenes fit together, being aware of our roles
and our parts . Being aware of what role "work" does play in
everyone's life - the stage and setting: America - our history,
past, present, and future. Following the cues, the lines;
seeing new directions or discovering hidden meanings. Trying
to listen and react and identify . The play's the thing; the jobs,
the work, and the climax are impending. Now it's your tum , your
role. The most important part is yours, your input. The audiel1('e is the reality - the star is you - your job and your feelings .

How has, or rather, has the organizing of the workshops
affected me? Have I actually found out anything I hadn't
already known? My exposure to different aspects of the problems
involved with working brings forth those emotional feelings
of being trapped in work, political thoughts of why I feel
trapped, and feelings of not wanting to think about the problems
involved with having a job . Wanting to leave it all, to see it
somehow resolve itself. Most of all not wanting to see or get in
touch with what is often the compromise of having to work,
or the realization that even that obscure person (worker) matters
and matters most of all.
I honestly have difficulty seeing myself in a job role again.
It is frightening to think about. Organizing this thing, while
helping me get in touch with my empathy for a person in a job
role, has actually moved me further away from ever wanting "just a Job." I hate "just a Job;" its structure; its regimentation; its lack of fulfillment. But I have also gotten in touch with
the fear of "not working," the lack of security and often the
lack of a purpose that comes with being unemployed. n~e
societal mold pulls and tugs at me for the nine-to-five job
- I move away from the mold, only to seek its secl\rity at
anot her time.
February 20, 1975
What do I feel? Sick to my stomach - from a combination
of stage fright, the absent-mindedness of a crazy director and the
hovering mother hen attending to details, worrying and getting
my little family of actors together for the really "big show ."
The awe of feeling we're going to be on "the Ed Sullivan
show" - if an Evergreen conference can be compared to the
Ed Sullivan show.
I've been working "On Working" for three months now .
It's grown from a tiny seed of ideas and been watered and fed
and nurtured by each new person involved. Each level of organization: the basic premises, the questions about work we're
asking ourselves and each other; the panels trying to capture
and illuminate the person, the job; trying to provide a dynamic
situation for the unemployed, for the personnel officers,
the haves and the have-nots, the with-jobs and the 'without
jobs.
The Evergreen panel with all the workers who keep Evergreen
functioning and happening ; the workers who pass each other
in the halls or see each other in terms of their job titles but maybe not as people ; all the myriad workshop contacts, get- .
ting in touch with what's happening in work - how are
people relating at large, on campus, in Olympia, to each other
and getting people to tell their side, all these will contribute
to our goal of peop'\e exposing and sharing themselves
with others.
Each name, each face has been a contributing factor to "On
Working" - throwing sunlight and vitamins on this tiny
seed until now it is as big as a beanstalk and what a better place
to start a living organic plant life than at Evergreen - evergreen, ever sun, ever growing and ever energy.
The putting together of this conference has been like a production with a multitudinous cast, several directors, a chorus,
singers, readers, workshop finders, organizers, publicity, printing,
and sponsors. The theme "On Working" following a script
sometimes, writing and rewriting and improvising; other times
, seeing how the scenes fit together, being aware of our roles
and our parts . Being aware of what role "work" does play in
everyone's life - the stage and setting: America - our history,
past, present, and future. Following the cues, the lines;
seeing new directions or discovering hidden meanings. Trying
to listen and react and identify . The play's the thing; the jobs,
the work, and the climax are impending. Now it's your tum , your
role. The most important part is yours, your input. The audiel1('e is the reality - the star is you - your job and your feelings .

Veterans at all schools will pay 85 % of the proposed rates in each category
tions. "We're trying to keep tabs on the proposals," said David
Bley of EPIC, "but it's difficult because the proposals are continually changing and CHE gives us the runaround. Despite the present confusion, we're going to continue researching and fighting
this tuition ripoff until it's beaten."
Students who have been actively opposing the tuition hike feel
that it is important to stop the increases for two reasons. First,
they feel that the increase should be opposed even if Evergreen
students are unaffected because, as one student put it, "We should
stand up for our common interests." It is felt that if Evergreen is
not hit with an increase this year, one will probably occur in the
near future . The second reason is more complex. As Bob McChesney of EPIC stated, "Students and their parents are already paying for the economic crisis. The tuition hikes must be seen in the
context of the general attack on working people - layoffs', falling
wages, skyrocketing prices, and slashes in all social services,
including Evergreen's budget. We're told to make sacrifices for a
system that we don't control I "
The tuition increase will obviously affect all of us significantly.
According to research done in 1973, for every increase in tuition
of $100 enrollment would drop 2.5 p~rcent on a national average.
It should be noted that the research was done over a year ago;
since then the economic crisis has deepened. Also, conditions in
Washington are worse than the national average. Therefore, an
even greater decrease in enrollment can be expected if tuition is
hiked .
Particularly affected by an increase would be students on fixed
incomes such as veterans receiving benefits, Third World students
on fixed "minority" grants, and students on public assistance.
Work-study students - who have not received a wage increase
since 1971 and can expect none in the future - are presently being paid 27 percent less in real wages because of price increases.
Even without a tuition hike, they will continue to feel the effects
of inflation. Women and Third World people, two sectors of society whose unemployment rate is higher than the national average and whose wages are lower, will find themselves in an even
more difficult position if tuition is increased. And certainly those
students who at present barely meet expenses without financial aid
would be forced to comp~te for the limited resources available.
February 20, 1975
The proposed tuition increases are not the result of bad intentions on the part of particular legislators, or even CHE. The
government is experiencing a fiscal crisis at all levels, and Washington is no exception. In attempting to solve the state's critical
financial condition, CHE places the burden on students through
higher tuition. As their December proposal states, "The recommended rate increases are based on adjustments for inflation since
1971-72."
.
Some students question the validity of CHE's rationale for an
increase. As Val Thorsen emphatically stated, "We're already paying for the economic crisis thrO\.~gh high prices, budget cuts, and
token work-study wages. If anything, tuition should be decreased I"
Steve Olney added, "The main thing is that we didn't cause this
crisis . The capitalists and their hired administrators want us to
sacrifice for their system. Why should we pay for their crisis?"
A quick glanc,e at Department of. Labor statistics reveals quite
clearly that wages are not· keeping up with soaring prices. For example, .the cost of living went up 12.2 percent last year, while the
average wage of university professors rose only 7.5 percent. This
pattern holds true for all sectors of employment, with even lower
wage increases - hence greater losses - for nonunion workers,
fully two-thirds of the American work force . Young people, who
are disproportionately concentrated in nonunion and low paid employment, are especially hard hit by inflation. Furthermore, unemployment for people between the ages of 18 and 24 is about 75
percent higher than the national average . At the same time, "U . S.
News & World Report" writes, "Profits of U.S. corporations are
now, in the third quarter of 1974, rising at an annual rate of $90
billion - a rise of 23 percent above the level recorded in the same
period of 1973." When CHE justifies a tuition increase on the
basis of hard times, it is evident that they are not looking at the
problem as a whole.
EPIC hopes students will pack the committee hearing in orqer
to testify and to exert maximum pressure to defeat the bill. A
carpool is scheduled to encourage attendance. Those who have
cars should drive to the dorm loop between 6 and 6: 30 p.m. to
pick up students with no transportation. As one student put it,
" It's going to be an_expensive night for those who don't go to the
hearingl"

B members of the Gay Resource Center
By THE GAY POLITIC COMMITTEE
The next Sounding Board meeting, Feb.
26 at 8: 30 a. m. will play host to a community hearing board concerning the in~
c1usion of the words "sexual orientation
and political ideology" in the Human
Rights Policy of the college. The Sounding Board moderator, Larry Mauksch, has
invited a variety of people and groups to
provide a forum for community discussion of the pros and cons of this issue .
Among them will be representatives of the
Gay Resource Center (GRC)' who ' will be
addressing the legal. social. psychological.
and economic needs which are unmet by
the document as it stands now, justifying
the inclusion of the controversial phrase.
Last year, a similar proposal (not including the words "political ideology")
was made to Joe White, then Affirmative
Action director of the college. It was
largely ignor-ed , due to the persistent belief that such a step was unnecessa ry here
at Evergreen , and that at any rate, not
enough facts were in to prove its neces-sity_
The facts ar~ in _ The necessity of the
words "sexual orientation and political
ideology" in the Human Rights Policy has
been proven by the blatant discrimination
Chuck Harbaugh experienced in the reasons the deans gave for no t hiring him_ In
the deans' widely publicized memo rejecting Harbaugh, they said "C huck is an
avowed [Gay I 'liberCltioni st. ' Were he to
co me to work here, we believe - there
would be pressures to enforce an understanding that 'Chuck operate in a role that
separates him from hi s 'libera tionist' political ideology_" This clearly indicates Harbaugh was rejected not o nly because of
hi s gayness, but ~ because he was a spokesperson for th e liberati on of sex ua l min oriti es_
The dean s' argume nt can eas ily be used
as a justification for rejecting any o utspoke n member of a ny minority group _

were willing to keep this sort of discrimination from taking place in the future.
Dean Lynn Patterson, Affirmative Action
Officer Rindetta Jones, and (GRC) representative Craig Conner started working to
include "sexual orientation and political
ideology" in the Human Rights Policy
(following the words "race, sex, national
origin, " etc.) The next step was to get
President Charles McCann's approval. He
refused, stating that he was worried about
how Evergreen would look on the outside
if he signed his name to the proposal. He
also brought out the time-worn argument
that has been used to table countless number~ of progressive proposals - the legislative funding freeze. He was assured that
this aspect has been investigated. Senator
Pete Francis of Seattle said this proposal
would not harm Evergreen's standing in
the legislature, and the outspoken opponents of the college could be compared to
"barking dogs. " Francis also offered his
opinion as a lawyer that this was a -completely legal addition to our Human
Rights Policy_
McCann finally consented to a community hearing on the issue. He feels he
needs to hear some of the "pointed/,discussio n" the dean s originally heard ini mediati o n with the GRC over the ' Chuck Harbaugh case. AFter deliberating on the
issue McCann will come to his decision.
During the GRes petition drive to gain
community s upp o rt for th e inclu s ion ,
va ri ous o pinions were put forth by people
who ref used to sign the petition . One sa id
the phrase "sex ua l orientatilJn" was too

Martin stated that this would water d{)wn
the Affirmative Action Policy's benefits
for non-whites. Th-is is a legitimate concern, but in this case, it isn't a valid argument. The inclusion would not institute a
quota system, as with non-whites and
women , but would simply guarantee
equal treatment for sexual minorities and
persons of any and all political ideologies.
It would in no way endanger or water
down the benefits received by women and
non -w hit es.

Perspective
B members of the Gay Resource Center
By THE GAY POLITIC COMMITTEE
The next Sounding Board meeting, Feb.
26 at 8: 30 a. m. will play host to a community hearing board concerning the in~
c1usion of the words "sexual orientation
and political ideology" in the Human
Rights Policy of the college. The Sounding Board moderator, Larry Mauksch, has
invited a variety of people and groups to
provide a forum for community discussion of the pros and cons of this issue .
Among them will be representatives of the
Gay Resource Center (GRC)' who ' will be
addressing the legal. social. psychological.
and economic needs which are unmet by
the document as it stands now, justifying
the inclusion of the controversial phrase.
Last year, a similar proposal (not including the words "political ideology")
was made to Joe White, then Affirmative
Action director of the college. It was
largely ignor-ed , due to the persistent belief that such a step was unnecessa ry here
at Evergreen , and that at any rate, not
enough facts were in to prove its neces-sity_
The facts ar~ in _ The necessity of the
words "sexual orientation and political
ideology" in the Human Rights Policy has
been proven by the blatant discrimination
Chuck Harbaugh experienced in the reasons the deans gave for no t hiring him_ In
the deans' widely publicized memo rejecting Harbaugh, they said "C huck is an
avowed [Gay I 'liberCltioni st. ' Were he to
co me to work here, we believe - there
would be pressures to enforce an understanding that 'Chuck operate in a role that
separates him from hi s 'libera tionist' political ideology_" This clearly indicates Harbaugh was rejected not o nly because of
hi s gayness, but ~ because he was a spokesperson for th e liberati on of sex ua l min oriti es_
The dean s' argume nt can eas ily be used
as a justification for rejecting any o utspoke n member of a ny minority group _

were willing to keep this sort of discrimination from taking place in the future.
Dean Lynn Patterson, Affirmative Action
Officer Rindetta Jones, and (GRC) representative Craig Conner started working to
include "sexual orientation and political
ideology" in the Human Rights Policy
(following the words "race, sex, national
origin, " etc.) The next step was to get
President Charles McCann's approval. He
refused, stating that he was worried about
how Evergreen would look on the outside
if he signed his name to the proposal. He
also brought out the time-worn argument
that has been used to table countless number~ of progressive proposals - the legislative funding freeze. He was assured that
this aspect has been investigated. Senator
Pete Francis of Seattle said this proposal
would not harm Evergreen's standing in
the legislature, and the outspoken opponents of the college could be compared to
"barking dogs. " Francis also offered his
opinion as a lawyer that this was a -completely legal addition to our Human
Rights Policy_
McCann finally consented to a community hearing on the issue. He feels he
needs to hear some of the "pointed/,discussio n" the dean s originally heard ini mediati o n with the GRC over the ' Chuck Harbaugh case. AFter deliberating on the
issue McCann will come to his decision.
During the GRes petition drive to gain
community s upp o rt for th e inclu s ion ,
va ri ous o pinions were put forth by people
who ref used to sign the petition . One sa id
the phrase "sex ua l orientatilJn" was too
clumsy_ Others believed it isn' t needed a t
such a "liberal in stitution as Evergreen"
and some sa id homosexua ls are sick, and

case . Instead they offered confused arguments a nd evasive maneuvers. Dean Rudy
Martin stated that this would water d{)wn
the Affirmative Action Policy's benefits
for non-whites. Th-is is a legitimate concern, but in this case, it isn't a valid argument. The inclusion would not institute a
quota system, as with non-whites and
women , but would simply guarantee
equal treatment for sexual minorities and
persons of any and all political ideologies.
It would in no way endanger or water
down the benefits received by women and
non -w hit es.
This is not just an Evergreen issue.
Precedents have been set in Seattle, in 12

In the third paragraph, there are at

Jarrett Comes to Evergreen
By DAN OPPENHEIMER
H~re ~~ are almost two full months into 1975 and I suppose
musIC cnhcs everywhere are again looking for that elusive thing
and its inherent accomplice, "the trend and the trend setter. " The
critics prQbably forget that American Bandstand still 'rates a record every Saturday morning and away in Twist Arkansas someone has just heard Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?" for the
first time. Someone at Evergreen must be looking very closely for
trends too, as witnessed by the appearance of Chick Corea and
the Paul Winter Consort over the past several months ,
Tonight, in contrast to the multitude of instruments brought by
t~e Consort and the volume of Corea, we will have a single grand
plano and a man who is fully deserving of the abundant praise he
has been receiving lately - Keith Jarrett. I say he deserves it in
light of the fact that no one has had anything but praise for the
work which is representative of what we can expect tonight, Solo
Concerts (r~corded live, July and March, 1973) an'd Facing You
(1972). While , the total of eight sides contained in those albums
will give the listener a good idea of what Keith sounds like as a
solo performer, the past few years have also seen the release of
s~veral fine albums with additiona l musicians. Among these are
BIrth (1972) , Fort Yawah · (1973) , a nd 117 Th e Light (1974) . Jarret t

can further be heard on recordings with the Charles Lloyd Quartet
(dating back to 1966), Miles Davis (Live at the Fillmore and Live
Evil on which he plays organ and electric piano, respectively), and
Freddie Hubbard (Sky Dive) ,
I leave it to the reader to discover the varied settings and styles
in which Jarrett is heard on the:;e albums. At the moment I am
most interested in his solo work for a variety of reasons. The first
is that I am literally itching to hear and see a "new" Jarrett solo
concert, for as he states on the liner notes of the album ' of the
same name, each piece he plays will be composed spontaneously
- .improvised: It is this spontaneity which has led normally glib
wnters searchmg for four and five word conglomerates to somehow pin down Jarrett's open and appealing style. Is it classicaljazz-rock-funk-blues or neo-exploratory-gospel-rhythm and soul
with salt and pepper thrown in? Our computers could easily blow
a fuse on that question. Without regard to labels, though a nd
judging from past experience with live as opposed to recorded
work (even "live" recordings), I find it hard to believe tha t Solo
Concerts and Facing You will only be second best after tonight's
concert , but I am preparing to change my mind.

There is a durable and pervasive myth at The
Evergreen State College that says competitive
athletics are "simply not done here." Any surviving traces of that sentiment must certainly
have beep destroyed this quarter by a diverse
group of students with little in common other
than an intense interest in the game of basketball .
But don't expect a team from the University
of Washington to come here in order to play a
varsity contingent of Geoducks. Intercollegiate
athletics are in fact non-existent at Evergreen.
Indeed, we don't even have a full-size gym,
something every podunk high school ordinarily
possesses .
Where does basketball live at Evergreen1 To
find the answer, we have to look back to last
quarter and student Gerald Nelson. Nelson is a
20-year-old student who is serving as a combination organizer, coach, captain, and statistician
for a group of about twelve Evergreen males
who form a team competing in the Olympic
division of the Olympia Parks a~d Recreation
City League.
The city league consists of teams predominantly sponsored by Olympia area merchants
(such as taverns, lumberyards, and used car
lots). Individuals playing there range from those
in late middle-age to those just out of college or
high school. Many of these teams have competed together for several years, and this is a
major problem faced by Nelson and his teammates.
Although Evergreen people have been "city
leaguers" for four years now, each year's team
must essentially start frpm scratch. As a result
early season games are often lost to teams that
are inferior ' physically and skill-wise.
It also follows that, as the season progresses,
performance improves, and that's exactly what
is happening.
The men's team began the season with several
discouraging losses, but started on the winning
track soon after the New · Year. As of this
writing they have ridden to the crest of a winning streak (four out of the last five games) and
climbed o·u t of the league's cellar to a tie for
third place. Such play will surely vindicate Nel- .
son's early prediction of "a winning season."
Their record is presently even at five wins and
five losses.
The most recent victory was over a team
sponsored by the Bikestand in downtown Olym. pia . The final tally was 65 ~ 63. Matt Yagie,
Bruce Drager, Lynn Hornbrook and Mick Martin led an impressively balanced scoring attack
with only Yagle and Drager in double figures.
The regular season will end on Fel? 26 after
four more games. Following a short break, the:
team will then enter a post-season playoff com-:
petition scheduled to take place in the first two·
weeks of March.
And yes, Virginia , there is a Women's Basket-:
ball team at Evergreen, and not only do they ~
exist but they are very good. Led by Cathy ;
Johnson and Sue Stadler, they have recently
concluded their. season in the women's division ;
9f the City League with five straight resounding .
victories. Unfortunately, these wins must be :
added to the losses suffered in the first two
games of the season.
