QUINAULT II FACADE
To the Point:
Once mon~ my initiative moves me to
lift a pen and partake in writing - a
form of expressio n I am trying to recover
after a standard public education . The
thunderbolt that shook me from my Trustee-induced delirium was the Quinault II
Statement.
I realized how innovative Evergreen
really isn't!! This interdisciplinary mumbojumbo for instance - just another way of
cramming the same old "k nowledge"
down my throat with "different" sou nding
names to peFfume the stink. It's still "read
that book by Monday, turn in that paper
by Friday, and a research paper at the
end of the quarter." Evaluations instead
of grades .. . Peanuts.
Under the Learning to Learn section of
the Quinault Statement there was some
mention of teachers' concern for the residual effect of what they taught. Hopefully,
those effects would be "the ability to
learn, to inquire, to examine, to analyze
and to synthesize information ... " The
traditional process of required reading, required writing, and meeting deadlines has
created the opposite effect on me. It made
me apa thetic, suppressed my initiative,
and generally fucked me up; in short,
made me a good worker.
Conversely, the important things that I
learned in spite of my "education" were
that 1 was creative, that all my experiences are learning experiences. All these
things were already inside and I just
needed to discover them. To regain my
initiative and learn these aspects of me
(most important for my life after college),
I had to fight this institution of higher
learning and withstand the pressure and
\·e~ . ultimatums of some faculty.

This Spring has been one of insight for
me . The behavior of Dean Clabaugh ,
Charl ie, and four of the Trustees exposed
the Admin istratio n for what it was . Likewise : the Quinault II Document has destroyed the facade of innovativeness a nd
newness of the Academic (dare I say) de-.
partments . A rose (likewise a turd) by
any ot her name is still a rose. All I really
need to know to survive in this world is
already within me. I wi ll venture a generalization and guess that most humans
are like me. The major emphasis for
learning shou ld not be to compile a large
amount of intellectual data but to discover the personal things in each of us
that prevent us from being proficient and
happy humans. Wahoo!!!

To the Point:

P.S. - "Red," without you this letter
would not have been written. I had inte~ded to express my i.ndignance over the
group departure from Tracey's performance, but a person of moderation persuaded me that it would serve no
purpose. "Red," it was your outrage
which rekindled my outrage.

Cooper Point Journal
This small group of black students left
as soon as Tracey began to sing and it
had become evident that the African
music was indeed presented by a white
man . After his first number, Tracey noted
that just because one is white and South
African does not mean that one supports
the government of South Africa. After his
performance he told me that he usually
has his photograph circulated in advance
of an appearance so that people know
what to expect - somehow this didn't
happen here, but it's a sad commentary
tha t such actions are necessary.
Those of us who attended the evening
of African music were treated to African
songs , stories , and demonstrations of
rhythmic and tonal patterns - both performed live and taped in towns and
villages across sub-Saharan Africa. It
seemed to me that everyone attending became involved, learned a little something,
and had a good time.
There is no question that this white
African, who grew up bathed in the traditional music , is a part of Africa. Yes,
" Red," unless you believe that blacks can
shuffle and dance and play basketball and
fuck better than whites 'cause of some
basic racial difference, you'll have to
admit that one is an African cultnrally,
because one is raised with African culture .
In the future , can we please look at
what someone has to offer, and not what
they look like?

Unfortunately Michael Corrigan's analysis (Journal Vol. 3 No. 26 May 15, 1975)
of the growth of student coalitions, specifically culturally based organizations,
was clouded by his ignorance.
As a Third World person, often involved in some of the Evergreen groups
named and implied, I feel compelled to
address myself to the false premises and
poor f;xamples he based his argument on.
The coalitions on this campus are not
designed solely to "preserve cultural
uniqueness." A primary function of these
organizations is to provide services and
answer to the needs of a group of people
that aren't being provided at this institution; needs that have ' been historically neglected by the educational system. The
projects, events and speakers brought to
Evergreen by "those" organizations are
not exclusive. Heritage Day, Cinco De
Mayo and the workshops, art exhibition
and films brought here 'during the Bicentennial Forum are but a few examples of
the projects shared with the Evergreen
community. I wouldn't call this "maintaining cultural uniqueness with the exclusiveness it requires" nor encouraging racism. Rather, a. sharing of cultural experiences intended to promote understanding,
enjoyment, and hopefully mutual respect
between all peoples.
I think the issue is something bigger
than the student coalition situation. This
is only a small part of a larger picture.
What must be realized here is that the
values and interests that control the educationa l system in this country are racist
and paternalistic in nature. Evergreen is
no exception. Until the bigger picture is
dealt with (if this can ever be accomplished), coalitions of interest groups will
continue to form . Yes, I agree, it is "silly
that every day it is becoming more and
more necessary to go that route if a
person wishes to still have a voice here ."
It is a route taken not so much by choice,
but by being forced to play the game by
the rules we have been given. Third
World people have been playing this
game for a long time in order to survive.
Until the rules or the people who make up
the rules change, that's how it's going to
be .
Jane Gorai

This is one of the most remarkably absurd occurrences all year and I'm sure
many of us are just dying to know your
purpose, so why don't you write the Journal and tell us all about it? I'd like to
know for what cause I lent vital part to.

COOPER
POINT
JOURNAL
May 22, 1975

To the Point:
I would like to correct a false impression which your quotation from my
Memo to former Chairman of the Hearing
Board, Bernal Hill seems to have generated.
My Memo to Bernal was on the controversy over holding "closed" meetings during the time we both were serving on the
Wood-Delgado hearing board. Intervention at a final meeting of the group by
two boys from the Advocates office had
prevented any discussion of the problems
we dealt with, and any statement by the
group as a whole, or recommendations to
Ed Kormondy or Charles McCann. Events
at that meeting convinced me that a
closed meeting is the only way that a
board can hold serious discussion among
the members unimpeded by audience or
self-appointed saviours. My reference to
Camus's pungent statement did NOT,
however, refer to the boys from the Advocates office, but to the probability that
open hearings will enable those seeking
public display for themselves and their
causes, be they complaintants or defendants, to use open hearings as a platform,
demanding taping and / or video recordings etc., etc. In an open system such as
Evergreen's there is no way to prevent
this. I do no', think that hearings should
be cl0sed, however - it is part of the
cost of an ope!l system. What I do firmly
believe is that the hearing board should
have the right and privilege of holding
private discussion and of making their decision in private . That was the gist of my
Memo to Bernal, who was then Chairman
of the Hearing Board, and I hold that
opinion now.

To the Point:
This is to the person who has been slitting open the crotches of our bathing suits
in the women's locker room. You were
very industrious and you got most of
them, but why? Political statement? Vaginal envy? Social comment7 Vulva liberation?

So EPIC strikes again (pardon the pun),
what else is new? Once again they have
demonstrated to many of us their lack of
discipline and the self-righteousness that
makes them so repulsive. I, for one, am
interested in being informed on the issues
that they handle . They could be performing a valuable service to the community.
Unfortunately, however, they insist on
clouding those issues with rhetoric and

SOUTH SOUND CENTER

Karen Jacobsen, an Evergreen student
from Seattle, was wounded in the leg
from a gunshot Monday May 19 around 6
p.m. while riding her bicycle down West
4th Street. The Olympia Police who are
presently investigating the incident, as
yet, know of no possible motivations for
the assault and have no leads or clues as
to the identity or whereabouts of the
assailant.
The incident took place, according to
Jacobsen's account, after she had turned
off Mud Bay Road to 4th Street in order
to bypass the traffic on Harrison Ave.
She hadn't gone far on 4th Street when
she noticed an American made, intermediate model four-door sedan stop several
yards in front of her. A young man carrying a rifle left the car and entered the
woods on her right. As she rode past him
he allegedly fired upon her, hitting her in
the back of the leg and splintering . the
bone with what appeared to be a .22 caliber bullet. In the next few moments the
man escaped and she waved down a passing motorist who drove her to the corner
of 5th and Water where the Olympia
Police and medical emergency units were
called.
Jacobsen was taken to St. Peter Hospital wnere her leg was set in a cast and she
is reported to be in good condition at this
time. She expects to be released from the
hospital very soon.
Jacobsen described the assailant as having long blonde hair of shoulder length,
being about 18 to 21 years old, about five
feet 11 inches tall, wearing a blue or green
T -shirt and blue denim jeans.

"The maple tree on the knoll in front of
the Lab building will remain," the Environmental Advi~ory Committee said in
their response to the proposal made by
the Office of Facilities dated May 8, 1975.
The proposal requested construction of a
paved service drive to the ceramic kiln.
According to the proposal the paved
road would follow the already existing •
dirt road leading to the Annex with only
some trees being removed .
The description of the trees to be removed in the proposal mentioned three
Douglas firs measuring 5", 10", and 12"
round, a J6" maple clump, and the one
large maple in front of the Lab building.
Richard Cellarius and the Environmental Advisory Committee at first responded
to the proposal by looking for alternatives
to the paved road. They felt a road could
be made coming off the trail that leads to
the Organic Farm.
After looking at the details and being
made aware of the heavy traffic that runs
daily to and from the kiln area the Committee responded to the proposal with a
complete "go ahead" according to Cellarius with the recommendation that the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING
maple stay where it is.
In a presentation by members of EverAnother proposal made by the Office
of Facilities requested removal of trees,

Karen Jacobsen, an Evergreen student
from Seattle, was wounded in the leg
from a gunshot Monday May 19 around 6
p.m. while riding her bicycle down West
4th Street. The Olympia Police who are
presently investigating the incident, as
yet, know of no possible motivations for
the assault and have no leads or clues as
to the identity or whereabouts of the
assailant.
The incident took place, according to
Jacobsen's account, after she had turned
off Mud Bay Road to 4th Street in order
to bypass the traffic on Harrison Ave.
She hadn't gone far on 4th Street when
she noticed an American made, intermediate model four-door sedan stop several
yards in front of her. A young man carrying a rifle left the car and entered the
woods on her right. As she rode past him
he allegedly fired upon her, hitting her in
the back of the leg and splintering . the
bone with what appeared to be a .22 caliber bullet. In the next few moments the
man escaped and she waved down a passing motorist who drove her to the corner
of 5th and Water where the Olympia
Police and medical emergency units were
called.
Jacobsen was taken to St. Peter Hospital wnere her leg was set in a cast and she
is reported to be in good condition at this
time. She expects to be released from the
hospital very soon.
Jacobsen described the assailant as having long blonde hair of shoulder length,
being about 18 to 21 years old, about five
feet 11 inches tall, wearing a blue or green
T -shirt and blue denim jeans.

"The maple tree on the knoll in front of
the Lab building will remain," the Environmental Advi~ory Committee said in
their response to the proposal made by
the Office of Facilities dated May 8, 1975.
The proposal requested construction of a
paved service drive to the ceramic kiln.
According to the proposal the paved
road would follow the already existing •
dirt road leading to the Annex with only
some trees being removed .
The description of the trees to be removed in the proposal mentioned three
Douglas firs measuring 5", 10", and 12"
round, a J6" maple clump, and the one
large maple in front of the Lab building.
Richard Cellarius and the Environmental Advisory Committee at first responded
to the proposal by looking for alternatives
to the paved road. They felt a road could
be made coming off the trail that leads to
the Organic Farm.
After looking at the details and being
made aware of the heavy traffic that runs
daily to and from the kiln area the Committee responded to the proposal with a
complete "go ahead" according to Cellarius with the recommendation that the

Because faculty and staff have been

SCHEDULE CHANGES
It was a great vacation but many persons wondered why we got two weeks for
spring break this year instead of the usual
one. The extended vacation is one of several calendar changes made this year.
Another is the switch in gr.aduation dates
from June 2 last year to June 8 this year.
Reasons underlying these changes seem
to be mainly psychological ones.
Academic Dean Rudy ·Martin said the
longer spring break was decided on in order to combat "winter crazies." The pace
and length of winter quarter takes its toll
as students, faculty and staff work
through the winter ramy season. The extended spring break allowed a "refresher"
besides evening out the length of the
three quarters.

Graduation this year will come after
evaluation week instead of before_ At last
year's ceremonies the participating seniors were referred to as "graduation candidates." This is because they had not received final spring quarter evaluations_
This year the seniors participating will be
assured they have full rights to a diploma_
The date changes were made by the academic deans. Confusion about spring
break probably sprang from the misprint
on the academic calendar which showed
only one week for vacation. Dean Rudy
Martin said, "response to the two week
vacation was so good, we'll probably do
the same thing next year."
A bottle in a brown paper bag which appeared on Martin's desk revealed the response of one faculty member. Attached
to the package was a note reading,
"Thanks for saving my life."

"How many times can a man tum his

An attempt by the Gay Resource Center to have Evergreen's Board of Trustees
include "political ideology" and "sexual
orientation" along with sex, race, age, religjon, national origin or physical disability in the not to be discriminated against
category of the Human Rights Document
has been · put off again . (The Human
Rights document is to a college what a
Bible is to a court - you swear by it,
then use the law to walk all over it.)
A request to bring the , question to a
public hearing was denied, with one dissenting vote: Tom Dixon the board's only
minority member. A motion was made to
table the issue indefinitely, offered by Ms.
Janet Tourtellotte, but was defeated by
the board. T ourtellotte had told the
board, Evergreen wasn't ready for this,
and doesn't need to try every innovation
that comes along.
Faculty member Ron Woodbury appeared at the board meeting to try and
offer his feelings of the "sexual orientation" situation. He told the board "discrimination against homosexuals is a real
and present danger on the campus." Education, he added , is needed to halt accusations that homosexuals are mentally ill or
unstable people.
Representatives of the Gay Center have
been working for months to includ~ the
expanded language of the Human Rights
document . So far they have been unsuccessful. Even this most recen~ effort (that
is to avoid saying the last) reaped only a
verbal mandate by the board to McCann
"to not discriminate against homosexuals."
,Despite requests by the Gay Center, the
board would not put the mandate in writing ,

The idea that Evergreen has to be
"ready" for any kind of idea is absurd.
We are not a self made testing grounq nor:
are we martyrs for martyrs sake. Homosexuality is "real and present" for many
people on this campus as a way of life (no
different in essence than heterosexuality)
and not a concept created to test the durability of a ruling body not in touch with
its subjects.
And , if a school like Evergreen extends
itself to protest the interests of those already protected by law and only those
protected by law, it has only taken another giant step backward.
By THE GAY RESOURCE CENTER
The recent action on the part of the
Board of Trustees to deny the Gay Resource Center a public hearing on the proposed inclusion of sexual orientation and
political ideology represents a reactionary
trend on their part. Although the Board
voted down Ms. Tourtellotte's proposal to
"table the issue indefinitely" it went on to
adopt an equally effective denial of minority rights .
In a final attempt at a concession Mr.
Hadley person~lly mandated President
McCann "not discriminate against homosexuals," but this unwritten promise
shows even further the Board of Trustees'
ties to the legislature. Words are cheap,
actions are expensive. Our Republican
Party-appointed Board is very aware of
this .
The Board has been concerning itself
with such topics as reducing the quota for
non-whites and women in the Affirmative
Action Policy. They have been "feeling
inadequate" to meet the present standards
the Human Rights document requires.
These efforts coupled with their refusal to
extend protection to Gays and freedom of

political ideas are a regressive stance and
an admission to their bigotry.
The Board's actions are completely controlled by the larger political movements.
Right now while they are amidst a relative calm with Third World people and
women they are attempting to slip
through amendments that would completely wipe out the guarantees to actively
seek women and non-whites. Their latest
proposal was to make the number of
women and non-whites proportionate to
the number in the State of Washington.
This would mean reducing the present
number of non-whites by five percent.
It must be recognized that board member Tom Dixon, as a member of a minority group and as one who has participated
in similar struggles, fought against the
"let's sweep it under the carpet" move by
the majority of the Board and gave the
only dissenting vote .
The Board further demonstrated their
submission to reactionary elements outside of Evergreen (James P. Kuehnle and
Company) by denying the Gay Center a
(rlgpt to a public hearing.
Ms. Tourtellotte's opinion that "we just
aren't ready for this yet" brings up the
question of just who Ms . Tourtellotte represents.
Every time the campus has been confronted with this issue the overwhelming
majority of people have indicated their
support for the proposal of including sexual orientation and political iaeology.
We must, as Evergreen Community
members, look at this action not only as a
denial to the Gay Center, but a denial to
the campus as a whole to make their own
decisions on policy control.
The Gay Resource Center will not let
this issue die, we will continue to fight it,
to seek support, and to support the struggles of all oppressed students and workers
for control of our rights and protections.
The Gay 'Resource Center has chosen to
request informal mediation with the
Board as described in the COG (Committee on Governance) Document. The
Center does not take fault with the decision to deny the Public Hearing though
they would like to participate in a
hearing, but feels the Board will not give
them a concrete answer to the proposed
inclusion. The inclusion was first suggested in January, 1974, and the Center
claims that they have seen numerous stalls
by Evergreen administration and the
Board of · Trustees since that time . They
feel that this is the only recourse open,
and hope that the Board will affirm its
membership in the Evergreen Community
by complying with our governance proc;:edures. If the grievance is not res01ved in
informal mediation, the Center is prepared to enter formal mediation and to
appear before an All Campus Hearing
Board . This is nothing new for the Center ; they have gone through these procedures before and are confident that they
will be vict orious.

Board of · Trustees since that time . They
feel that this is the only recourse open,
and hope that the Board will affirm its
membership in the Evergreen Community
by complying with our governance proc;:edures. If the grievance is not res01ved in

Thieu Where Are You?
By TOM PITTS
Nguyen Van Thieu awoke from his
peacefu l premature nap, fresh from
dreams of naked bodies and rotted eggplants . He was landing on Taiwan and
overhead came the order to fasten seat
belts. Making three phone calls he was
assured of the safe arrival of his valuable
cargo transport. "I wonder if Taiwan
would accept me as their President. With
Shanghai Shek gone they need a new
exiled ruler ," he thought. Landing
smoot hly they taxied toward the terminal.
An aide quietly entered Thieu's quarters
and handed him numerous memos and
three copies of Naked Judy's Beast Fantasies. Reading them carefully he quickly
got up and went to see the pilot.
" We have got to leave here immediately," Thieu exclaimed. "We must take
off for the Philippines as soon as possible.
I have no time to waste and everything to
lose !" he shouted at the pilot.
"We can't leave without fuel. It will
take at least an hour before we could
start. I am sorry sir, bilt we have no
choice," the pilot explained to the raging
ex-president. Thieu looked scared and
turned back to his quarters mumbling incoherently .
Pacing back and forth across the room,
Thieu thought intensely. "There must be
some way that I can stall them," he spoke
aloud. "If I could only hold them off for
an hour. There must be a way." Thieu
stopped pacing and stood motionless.
"The transport! Yes, yes. The transport! I
am saved!" he shoulted. In seconds he
was making another call. "How long to
refuel the transport? Yes, uhuh. It still has
half a tank. Ready it for takeoff. I will be
right over." Making two calls, he hastily
departed.
Meanwhile at the terminal ...
"Where is that damn Thieu! He knows
he can't fool us. Why doesn't he answer
our memos," said the Rockwell International representatives. "He can't get away
with our Lear Jet as easily as he thinks."
"To hell with your jet. We want our
toasters. Do you realize that he has 20
crates of them?" declared the General
Electric officia l heatedly.
"Who cares about toasters? He'll get
away with our Coca-Cola over my dead
body," bubbled the Coke distributor.
. "We should work together, men . I want
my telephones and you want your goods,"
intoned the ITT representative. "If we
pool our efforts we will catch him in no
time ."
The men grew impatient. Others arrived
add itlg to their numbers. Arguing between
rounds of drinks , they finally decided to
stNm Thieu 's Lear Jet. Enlisting their
tl)rCe5 to assault, the corporate com-

mandos had the jet su rrounded .
Watching nearby , the CIA agent stood
poised. He would not fail in his mission
to confiscate Thieu's secret cache of prophylactics in seven exciting colors from
Samoa. When Thieu is caught he'd step in
and seize the goodies. The agency could
use it well to stop communist aggression
in South Korea.
"Take off at once," demanded Thieu,
entering the cockpit of the transport.
"Our next destination is the Philippines."
The quality there is lower than in Japan,
but prices would be much better.
The engines roared, moving them down
the runway. Breaking into the Lear Jet
and finding no Thieu or cargo made the
representatives furious, especially the CIA
agent in the brown coat who had boarded
the vessel flashing his credentials and
taking charge of the prophylactics that
weren't there . Abandoning the Jet, they
headed down the \unway for the transport. Meeting the airborne ship halfway ,
they hailed farewell, flinging sma ll tomatoes and mushroom omelets.
"You won't get away with this , Thien!
cried the man from ITT shaking his fist ;: ~
the rising plane. "We will follow you,' he
promised.
Nguyen Van relaxed in the co-pilot' !:>
seat. He hc:d barely left in time. Who
would thi:1k they would follow him to
Taiwan. He must make haste to the Philippines and seek asylum from Marcos, he
thought , he would surely treat him well.
The escape from the airport upset Nguyen
Van. He had acquired what he had with
all the capitalist zeal his Americanization
could muster. Why were his onetime
frrends and associates now trying to rob,
him of his riches? "I must not let them do
this to me," he said with conviction. It
had been a long day and he nodded to
sleep.
"Where am I?" Thieu asked waking
from his deep sleep. " What happened?"
"You fell overboard leaving the
harbor, " the ship' s nurse related. "We
saved you just in time."
"Are you stark naked or is tha t my
imagination?" questioned Nguyen.
"No, I am really naked, Mr. Thieu , and
I've come for that little storehouse of
good ies you've been keeping in the cargo
hatch all this time," answered the nurse.
Before Thieu could focus hi s eyes on
the nurse's face, the woman had pulled a
miniature Luger from nowhere and aimed
the pistol between Thieu's eyes. "Sweet
dreams, Mr. Thieu," she bade . Nguyen
saw one burst of bright light ...
,. Thieu's next memory occurred in a little
room about the size of the presidential
bathroom back at the Royal Palace in
what used to be Sa igon.

Part II
" I am Nguyen Van Thieu, ex-president
of South Vietnam. I must leave this place
at once. Where are my prophylactics?
Who ha s my prophylactics!" Thieu demanded.
"Now take it easy," cautioned the little
man who stood before him . "You're still
too weak to move . Sure you're the expresident, I believe you. Calm down. We
will be entering the U.S. soon and then
you will have a nice place to stay. A new
life awaits you in Ameri<:a," he said enthusiastically leaving the room.
"But I am the ex-president! Don't you
believe me?" Thieu pleaded, "I must leave
and find my prophylactics . You have got
to believe me I"
"Why won't they believe me? Why
won't they listen to me?" Thieu sobbed.
The ship had docked at Fol't Pendleton,
and Thieu was now a South Vietnamese
refugee. "What can I do. I can't stay here
'to die of hunger . Why did this have to
happen to me? I was a kind and benevolent ruler to my people. Here is my reward! " Thieu collapsed to the ground crying. Ever since arriving he had tried to tell
everyo ne who he was. No one would believe him . He was with his own kind
trapped in America. "America , the land
of fortune," he thought. " It is not what I
want if it means standing in line every
day for food and sleeping with 15 refugees in a canvas tent. I must find a way
out of here . There must be a way," Thieu
sa id , "if only someone here in California
would help me. " He thought intensely.
"Richard, Richard. He will help me. I
must go to him ."
Thieu planned his escape carefully . He
noted the rounds of the guards and obtained a map of California. He knew
what he had to do and waited for his
chance. Late one night he made his move .
He climbed over the fence and ran till
morning . He ca ught a ride south on 1; 5
and was on his way. San Clemente was
his destination. He arrived there late that
evening and proceeded to the mansion of
ex-pres ident Nixon. He stro lled to the
door and knocked . A wary voice came
from the door.
"Go away. No reporters , investigators,
or refugees all owed," said the voice from
the door. "Who do you think you are?"
" Please listen, I am Nguyen Van Thieu,
ex - president o f Sou th Vietnam, " said
Thieu .
"Th ieu who?" Dick asked.
"Nguyen Van Thieu."
D i~k -opened the door carefu lly . Peering
out w ith amazement he didn't know what
to say.
" Richard ," Thieu sa id, "please, Richard ,
may I ta lk tl l you?"

cJ ll ed and informed of the act ion .
On Thursday I confronted one of the
offe nded staff members and asked why I
was not ca lled a nd the questionable material examined before attempts to censor
took place.
I sho uld say that I am writing t his in
the paper, not because I harbor any ill
fee li ngs abo ut the attempt but rather
beca use th ose most offended are fo unders
and ra nking members of the Evergreen
Po lit ical Informat ion Center (E PIC) .
W hat is interes ting abou t this is that last
Frid ay as it ca me time for EPIC to ask
the S&A boa rd for next year's funds
($8 ,700 .00) th ey admitted that some of
the crit icisms leveled at them about the
less than non - partisa n inform ation they
offer was true but they certainly had no
;1b ject ion to , in fact they encouraged the
~prea din g o f all political information .
Sln~ the EP IC memben on ~e paper
staff fe lt that my questions about racial
prob lem s was a political issue I can only
assu me that they shou ld support the publicatio n of my a rticle, if their statements
to the S&A board were true. The fact
th a t the y didn' t support it, in fact they
were ada mant about censure, forces me to
cunclude that a contradict ion in policy
pxists.
I have written this because I am ofte nded. I a m being asked to help finance
an organ iza ti on whose members seem to
disapprove of free speech. If these two
staff members do not reflect the group's
view points then I suggest that the group
as\... them toJeave, they are taking the last
ves tiges of EPICs credibility away far
ta~ter than it can be restored. If they do
represe nt the grou p 's viewpoints I
~ tn~ ngl y suggest that those of you who
,.i1Sdpprove of this group's policies make

Evergreen has given me the opportunity
to become an expert on hookers . I spent
w inter quarter working to decriminalize
prostitution in Honolulu , one of the
major prostitution centers in this country.
Interning with the American Civil liberties Union in Hawaii, as pa rt of the l awmakers / lawb reakers program, I talked
with hookers, their pimps, prosecuting a ttorneys, public defenders, and the Honolulu Police Department Vice Squad. I a ttended District Court daily to monitor
prostitution cases.
One of the friend s I made in Hawaii is
a married Samoan mother of three. I met
her in a Honolulu courtroom where she
was being prosecuted for prostitution.
Peta contradicted my preconceived noti o ns about prostitutes. She was not at all
apologetic about her trade . Media distorti o n had made me believe a call girl's life
is glamous a nd lucrative. Peta prefers the
life of a street hooker , a life she has led
the past twelve yea rs, which she finds less
dangerous than being a call girl.
I expected a ny defend a nt in a criminal
case to be ~ca red and concerned. Peta was
representative of almost all the women
bei ng cha rged with prostitution - she
was comp lacent , almost bored, by the
cour troom process. "Being in court is no
big deal; I ge t busted once a month - it's
part of the trad~. I pay the fine and get
back to the street. "
A hooker's first fine is $}OO. Each time
she is conv icted the amount doubles, and
o n the third or fo urth conv ictio n she is
sen tenced to three m o nths in ja il. Time in
ja il doesn't reh abilitate prosti tutes , but instp'ld exposes them to ot her types of
crime. Seventy percent of a ll women in
pr iso n for felon ies were firs t arrested for
prost ituti o n .

cJ ll ed and informed of the act ion .
On Thursday I confronted one of the
offe nded staff members and asked why I
was not ca lled a nd the questionable material examined before attempts to censor
took place.
I sho uld say that I am writing t his in
the paper, not because I harbor any ill
fee li ngs abo ut the attempt but rather
beca use th ose most offended are fo unders
and ra nking members of the Evergreen
Po lit ical Informat ion Center (E PIC) .
W hat is interes ting abou t this is that last
Frid ay as it ca me time for EPIC to ask
the S&A boa rd for next year's funds
($8 ,700 .00) th ey admitted that some of
the crit icisms leveled at them about the
less than non - partisa n inform ation they
offer was true but they certainly had no
;1b ject ion to , in fact they encouraged the
~prea din g o f all political information .
Sln~ the EP IC memben on ~e paper
staff fe lt that my questions about racial
prob lem s was a political issue I can only
assu me that they shou ld support the publicatio n of my a rticle, if their statements
to the S&A board were true. The fact
th a t the y didn' t support it, in fact they
were ada mant about censure, forces me to
cunclude that a contradict ion in policy
pxists.
I have written this because I am ofte nded. I a m being asked to help finance
an organ iza ti on whose members seem to
disapprove of free speech. If these two
staff members do not reflect the group's
view points then I suggest that the group
as\... them toJeave, they are taking the last
ves tiges of EPICs credibility away far
ta~ter than it can be restored. If they do
represe nt the grou p 's viewpoints I
~ tn~ ngl y suggest that those of you who
,.i1Sdpprove of this group's policies make
\','ur t(~lings kmw,rn to the S&A board .

S&A Allocations Relpa't"'d
By BARBARA HARNISCH
After 23 hours of hearings, a four-day,
largely sleepless retreat, and countless
doses of aspirin, this year's Services and
Activities Fees Review (S&A) Board is
ready to present its fund alloca tions to an
anxiously awaiting campus community.
Six of the seven-member board - Sally
No Heart Fixico, Jill Fleming, Doug King,
Eva Usadi, Steve Valadez, and John Woo
- spen t three days at Kalaloch Lodge sifting through 46 budget proposals. (Staff
member linda Peterson was unable to attend.) Of those proposals, 11 were rejected, with recommendation that they
seek funding elsewhere (such as becoming
part of other organizations)' 25 received
funding with some cuts, and 10 were
funded as requested, or granted more
money as the board saw the need. Several
groups - .i.rull,I.9.ing Ujamaa, MECHA,
and the Om'buds/
led to
-- Advocates
.,-------- -fai
--_.--submit proposals .- ihese were not considered
For 1lin<Jlng.
~.-----Pete Steil berg, director of campus activities, Lynn Garner, assistant director;
Dean Clabaugh, administrative vice-president; and Dave Seim, auxiliary enterprises accountant, advised the group in its
deliberations.
The board made some decisions which
wi ll have long-range effects on the school.
. The most momentous of these was the establishment of a "Third World Reserve"
of $36,059.81. Certain campus organizations , including KAOS-FM, the Gig
Commiss ion, Leisure Education, the
Speaker's Bureau, the Faith Center, and
the Cooper Point Journal. have access to
po rtions of this reserve, on the condition
that they "actively seek" the participation
of Third World groups. If, by a certain
date (which hasn 't been determined at this
writing) the board feels tha t "meaningful
interchange" ha s taken place, the organiZ.ll il)n will receive th e part of the Third
\ \'l)r1d Reserve allotted it. If the board

-

fee ls that no effort has been made to establish contact, the funds will be made
available for "other Third World needs."
In order to determine the primary needs
and interests of the students, the Input Resource Senter (IRS) issued a survey. Activities and services were to be rated from
one to 45 in order of importance . Of the
2,300 copies mailed to students, some 200
were returned, and it was from these that
the board drew priorities.
The top 10 rated groups in the IRS survey were, in order of student preference:
Bus System Subsidy, Friday Night Film,
College Recreation Center Support, KAOS
FM, Outdoor Equ ipment, Cooper Point
Journal, Art Workshops, Gig Commission, College Activities Building Support,
a nd Organic Farm. Copies of the full survey resu lts are available from IRS.
Another part of the survey dealt with
the adequacy of existing buildings. The
board carefully considered the pros and
cons of funding the construction of new
buildings, according to S&A executive
secretary Brent Ingram, and came to the
following consensus decision :
"We are not committing ourselves to
any building projects until student needs
a nd interests have been more thoroughly
surveyed. Also, the budget requests from
studen t groups must be satisfied. The
$23,000 building fund is being considered
for use in planning the buildings, if this is
in accordance with student opinion;
$15,000 and the fund balance is being set
aside for next year's S&A Board."
All of the 11 rejected proposals were
encouraged to seek support elsewhere or
rewrite and clarify their proposals. Accord ing to Ingram, the tremendous load
of work involved with each proposal ,
whether it was accepted or rejected, led to
this concluding statement by the board:
"We fee l that the S&A Board has . been
prev io usly and is now, overburdened with
requests (01 (unJmg wlllLn should have

been handled through academic programs
and o ther areas of the institution. We will
be investigating previous and current
S&A expenditures that would have best
been covered by other funding sources."
In regard to the individual organizations making requests , the board attached the foll owing remarks to its statement of allocations:
Bicycle Repair Shop: Allocation includes one year's salaries. More funds for
tools will be granted after an inventory
has been completed.
Bus System : Recreation van to be used.

groups , such as EPIC, the resource centers, and the Speakers' Bureau, can fulfill
RSB 's needs. ~SB has limi ted access to
phones inthe S&A offices at the discretion
of Lynn Garner.
Ropes Course (not funded): The board
asked that the proposa l be resubmitted
after insurance implic:ations, env ironmental impact, and the possibi lit y of a simila r

been considered .

aides not funded. Resubmit proposa l if
possible foundation grant doesn 't come

S&A Allocations Relpa't"'d
By BARBARA HARNISCH
After 23 hours of hearings, a four-day,
largely sleepless retreat, and countless
doses of aspirin, this year's Services and
Activities Fees Review (S&A) Board is
ready to present its fund alloca tions to an
anxiously awaiting campus community.
Six of the seven-member board - Sally
No Heart Fixico, Jill Fleming, Doug King,
Eva Usadi, Steve Valadez, and John Woo
- spen t three days at Kalaloch Lodge sifting through 46 budget proposals. (Staff
member linda Peterson was unable to attend.) Of those proposals, 11 were rejected, with recommendation that they
seek funding elsewhere (such as becoming
part of other organizations)' 25 received
funding with some cuts, and 10 were
funded as requested, or granted more
money as the board saw the need. Several
groups - .i.rull,I.9.ing Ujamaa, MECHA,
and the Om'buds/
led to
-- Advocates
.,-------- -fai
--_.--submit proposals .- ihese were not considered
For 1lin<Jlng.
~.-----Pete Steil berg, director of campus activities, Lynn Garner, assistant director;
Dean Clabaugh, administrative vice-president; and Dave Seim, auxiliary enterprises accountant, advised the group in its
deliberations.
The board made some decisions which
wi ll have long-range effects on the school.
. The most momentous of these was the establishment of a "Third World Reserve"
of $36,059.81. Certain campus organizations , including KAOS-FM, the Gig
Commiss ion, Leisure Education, the
Speaker's Bureau, the Faith Center, and
the Cooper Point Journal. have access to
po rtions of this reserve, on the condition
that they "actively seek" the participation
of Third World groups. If, by a certain
date (which hasn 't been determined at this
writing) the board feels tha t "meaningful
interchange" ha s taken place, the organiZ.ll il)n will receive th e part of the Third
\ \'l)r1d Reserve allotted it. If the board

-

fee ls that no effort has been made to establish contact, the funds will be made
available for "other Third World needs."
In order to determine the primary needs
and interests of the students, the Input Resource Senter (IRS) issued a survey. Activities and services were to be rated from
one to 45 in order of importance . Of the
2,300 copies mailed to students, some 200
were returned, and it was from these that
the board drew priorities.
The top 10 rated groups in the IRS survey were, in order of student preference:
Bus System Subsidy, Friday Night Film,
College Recreation Center Support, KAOS
FM, Outdoor Equ ipment, Cooper Point
Journal, Art Workshops, Gig Commission, College Activities Building Support,
a nd Organic Farm. Copies of the full survey resu lts are available from IRS.
Another part of the survey dealt with
the adequacy of existing buildings. The
board carefully considered the pros and
cons of funding the construction of new
buildings, according to S&A executive
secretary Brent Ingram, and came to the
following consensus decision :
"We are not committing ourselves to
any building projects until student needs
a nd interests have been more thoroughly
surveyed. Also, the budget requests from
studen t groups must be satisfied. The
$23,000 building fund is being considered
for use in planning the buildings, if this is
in accordance with student opinion;
$15,000 and the fund balance is being set
aside for next year's S&A Board."
All of the 11 rejected proposals were
encouraged to seek support elsewhere or
rewrite and clarify their proposals. Accord ing to Ingram, the tremendous load
of work involved with each proposal ,
whether it was accepted or rejected, led to
this concluding statement by the board:
"We fee l that the S&A Board has . been
prev io usly and is now, overburdened with
requests (01 (unJmg wlllLn should have

been handled through academic programs
and o ther areas of the institution. We will
be investigating previous and current
S&A expenditures that would have best
been covered by other funding sources."
In regard to the individual organizations making requests , the board attached the foll owing remarks to its statement of allocations:
Bicycle Repair Shop: Allocation includes one year's salaries. More funds for
tools will be granted after an inventory
has been completed.
Bus System : Recreation van to be used.
Two posit ions are work-study. S&A
Board is to be consulted about routes .
College Recreation Cen ter operations :
Academics to fund half of. classified position sa laries on a 12-month basis . T his includes the funding of an equipment checkout person, but not a 9 a.m . to noon
·door a ttendant.
/
Canoe Trip (not funded): S&A cannot
afford to fund the trip, but will fund the
purchase o f a canoe through Outdoor
Equipment.
CHAI (not funded): The Board
recognizes that a center / office is necessary, but fee ls that this agency can easily
be duplicated by academics.
Geoduck Coffeehouse: Will includ e
funding for work-study position if desired . Revenue will be kept within organization.
Cr~ative Resources (not funded):
Though the board ' fee ls this is a good
idea, it cannot afford to fund it at the
present time.
Day Care .Center: The board strongly
suggests that academics fund the remainin g two-fifth s of the overa ll budget.
Documentary Film s (not funded):
Board expresses strong support of the
project, but ref~ rs th e group to the Filmm a ker ~' Rese rve .
Duck Hou se: Suggest hiring a n artist /

position is to be work-study.
EPIC: Executive secretary position is
work-study funded . Group is to confer
with Publications Board regarding a newsletter, and an attempt should be made to
express a wide range of political views .
Fi lm Resource Bank (not funded) :
$3,500 has been reserved for fi lmmaking,
the use of w hich will be decided .this summer. The Documentary Film Proposal
should receive primary considera tion.
Fourth Floor library Snack Bar (not
funded): The board supports this idea,
but asks for more information . Group is
asked to speak to the board, rewrite and
resubmit their proposal.
Friday Night Films (no request, no alloca tion): Funded by revenue. Board recommends Third World input.
Leisure Education: Associate Director
should be pa id by Academics, and ski
school must be self-supportin:s. Funding is
granted .f or two filW arts positions.
TESC Men's Basketball Team: Th ird
World part icipation should continue to be
encouraged.
Methane Pro ject (Nepal) (not funded):
Not only is the board unable to fund this,
but several strong reserva tions about the
introduction of American techno logy into
this country.
Outdoor Equipment: The summer assistant manager position is not funded
(see CRC operations).
Revolutionary Student Brigade (no t
funded ) : The board feels that existing
groups , such as EPIC, the resource centers, and the Speakers' Bureau, can fulfill
RSB 's needs. ~SB has limi ted access to
phones inthe S&A offices at the discretion
of Lynn Garner.
Ropes Course (not funded): The board
asked that the proposa l be resubmitted
after insurance implic:ations, env ironmental impact, and the possibi lit y of a simila r
course offering by Leisure Education have
been considered .
Self-Help Legal Aid Program: Para legal
aides not funded. Resubmit proposa l if
possible foundation grant doesn 't come
through .
Squash Blossom Project Project: All
equipment is the property of the S&A
Board and must be inventoried , tagged ,
and returned after harvest. Funding is
contingent upon the board's approva l of
the food distribu tion plan.
Students Internat ional Meditation Society (not funded): Board suggests that
SIMS become a part of th e Faith Center,
and wants to examine the group's relationship to the larger orga niza tion .
Theatre / Dance: Ma terials a re S&A
property and should be tagged , inventoried and accessible to student groups.

\I1uch interest has been directed towards Weye rh aeuse r's investment in Third
Wnrld countries. Studies are being made
of Weyerhaeuser's opera tions in Indonesia
and South Africa.
Indonesia
Weyerhaeuser's largest overseas investment is in Ind onesia . Indones ia has the
fifth largest population of a n y country in
the wo rld . The Ind ones ian isla nds are rich
in natural reso urces , especia ll y oil, timber
a nd rubber. Int ernatio nal investment in
Indonesia i's lin ked to their political
histo ry .
.
From 1949 to 1965 Indonesia had a socia li st gove rnment. In 1965 there was a
mil itary coup. Between 300,000 to
1.000 ,000 persons were executed in the
po li tical bloodbath which brought in the
new government. The United States a nd
Creat Britain sup po rted th e right wing
military ta keover.
The new military government , eage r to
build the wea lt h of their cou ntry , invited
foreign investment. In 1969 the Indonesian
government gra nt ed co ncess io n on 250,000
acre<; of ti m berland to Weyerhae user. In
1971 Weyerhaeuser acquired the co ntro llin g interest in the International Timber
Co rporat io n , 35 percent of wh ich is
owned by the military . This gives Weyerhae user cutti ng rights to 1 .5 million acres
o f timberland.
Wev erhaeuser emp loys 1,200 persons in
its o p~rati o n , loca ted in the region. of East
Ka limant an on the island of Borneo . It has
a t raining program for employees and is
trying to pl2ce Indonesians in management pos itions. Weyerhaeuser is working
to improve li ving standards by building
hos pit a ls, schools and housing .
De pite these benefits, the Indonesian
worke rs still do not earn comparable salaries to wo rkers in the United States .
They are no t protected by labor unions.
A faller in Indon es ia ca n ex pect a sa lary
of aro und $5 per day. Hi s counterpart in
th e Un ited States earns over $11 per hour.
Like most fo reign investors, Weyerha eu<;e r mu st face charges of cultural exploita tion. It has helped crea te (by western
~ tJnd a rd s) a separate privileged class In
;1 n area of largely tribal nominally agricultural peo p le. Responding to the charge of
c ultu r al exp lo itati on. C.W. Bingham ,
memhe r o f the board of directors commented . " Aft er ill\. compared to many
(Clr ms of co nsumer gadgetry , a two by
tour has little corrupting potential."
Weyerhaeuser ha s enjoyed a tax holidJy i~ Ind o nesia . It claims however that
iL)ca l a nd regiona l ta xes have added up to
a 50 percent tax on profits. This has contributed $4 million to the Indonesian govern men t in tax rev enu es.
T he Indones ian tax holiday ends for
\\' t'Y l'r h.J l'u~e r nex t yeJr. Managers at

Weyerhaeuser see their role changing in
the future. Weyerhaeuser w ill act more as
a contractor than making d irect investment . More manufacturing wi ll take place
in the future bes ides the raw material exports.
.
.
The Indo nesian government IS trying to
assume m o re control over its industry.
Indonesia has a long way to go before it
becomes economically se lf-sufficient.
N inety percent of all capital investment in
the country is foreign ow ned.
South Africa
A controversia l subject is Weyerhaeuser' s investment in South Africa. Some
persons indict Weyerhaeuser for supporting racial segrega tion there. Weyerhaeuser
has located a paper board plant on the
edge of a reservation for Blacks. ":Veyerhaeuser is accused of ex ploiting cheap
Black labor (apartheid system). Wages are
near subsis tence level for so me Black
workers. Some critics say this practice
violates a 1965 po licy set by ·the company
say ing it wo uld do nothing to support the
apartheid system.
The company counters this argument
by sayi ng the South African venture actua ll y improves the liv ing stan~ards of ~he
Blacks. All products from thiS operatIOn
are used by the Blacks themselves . Weyerhaeuser claims it produces paper board
for packaging agricultural produc.t s grown
on the reservation , and that thiS means
the Blacks are not being exploit~d for an
export market. Through produc~s a~d
wages, Weyerhaeuser contends It .IS raising living standards and weakening the
aparthe id system .
The issue seems to rise above the exact
circu mstances of Weyerhaeuser's involvement. Weyerhaeuser sees itself not only as
a n economic developer but a political developer as well. It 's questionable, however. that a company can make an agreement with a government a nd thell try to
subvert the very c ultural basis upon
which that government is esta blished . ..
Weyerhaeuser is growing more .sensltlve
about their South African operations and
the ir investment' in the Third World.
Weyerhaeuser's public affairs department
published a background paper in 1971 .on
" Weyerhaeuser's Investment In The Third
World. " The purpose of the paper was to
give managers inform~tio~ t~. co~nt.er the
increasing amount of radical cntlCls.m ..
The case studies of foreign subsldlanes
have been some of the most controversial
and difficult areas to research for the
Multinational's study . While maintaining
a cri tical attitude, the members of the
Multinationals Contract want to present
as ob jective a view as possible. This is ~he
first study of its type done on such a Wide
range of Weyerhaeuser's activities ..Its ~ur­
pose goes beyond an educatio~al . inquiry .
It w ill become important publIC informati on for persons who want to know how
Weyerh ae user influences their lives. "and
the lives of persons in foreign countnes.

\I1uch interest has been directed towards Weye rh aeuse r's investment in Third
Wnrld countries. Studies are being made
of Weyerhaeuser's opera tions in Indonesia
and South Africa.
Indonesia
Weyerhaeuser's largest overseas investment is in Ind onesia . Indones ia has the
fifth largest population of a n y country in
the wo rld . The Ind ones ian isla nds are rich
in natural reso urces , especia ll y oil, timber
a nd rubber. Int ernatio nal investment in
Indonesia i's lin ked to their political
histo ry .
.
From 1949 to 1965 Indonesia had a socia li st gove rnment. In 1965 there was a
mil itary coup. Between 300,000 to
1.000 ,000 persons were executed in the
po li tical bloodbath which brought in the
new government. The United States a nd
Creat Britain sup po rted th e right wing
military ta keover.
The new military government , eage r to
build the wea lt h of their cou ntry , invited
foreign investment. In 1969 the Indonesian
government gra nt ed co ncess io n on 250,000
acre<; of ti m berland to Weyerhae user. In
1971 Weyerhaeuser acquired the co ntro llin g interest in the International Timber
Co rporat io n , 35 percent of wh ich is
owned by the military . This gives Weyerhae user cutti ng rights to 1 .5 million acres
o f timberland.
Wev erhaeuser emp loys 1,200 persons in
its o p~rati o n , loca ted in the region. of East
Ka limant an on the island of Borneo . It has
a t raining program for employees and is
trying to pl2ce Indonesians in management pos itions. Weyerhaeuser is working
to improve li ving standards by building
hos pit a ls, schools and housing .
De pite these benefits, the Indonesian
worke rs still do not earn comparable salaries to wo rkers in the United States .
They are no t protected by labor unions.
A faller in Indon es ia ca n ex pect a sa lary
of aro und $5 per day. Hi s counterpart in
th e Un ited States earns over $11 per hour.
Like most fo reign investors, Weyerha eu<;e r mu st face charges of cultural exploita tion. It has helped crea te (by western
~ tJnd a rd s) a separate privileged class In
;1 n area of largely tribal nominally agricultural peo p le. Responding to the charge of
c ultu r al exp lo itati on. C.W. Bingham ,
memhe r o f the board of directors commented . " Aft er ill\. compared to many
(Clr ms of co nsumer gadgetry , a two by
tour has little corrupting potential."
Weyerhaeuser ha s enjoyed a tax holidJy i~ Ind o nesia . It claims however that
iL)ca l a nd regiona l ta xes have added up to
a 50 percent tax on profits. This has contributed $4 million to the Indonesian govern men t in tax rev enu es.
T he Indones ian tax holiday ends for
\\' t'Y l'r h.J l'u~e r nex t yeJr. Managers at

Weyerhaeuser see their role changing in
the future. Weyerhaeuser w ill act more as
a contractor than making d irect investment . More manufacturing wi ll take place
in the future bes ides the raw material exports.
.
.
The Indo nesian government IS trying to
assume m o re control over its industry.
Indonesia has a long way to go before it
becomes economically se lf-sufficient.
N inety percent of all capital investment in
the country is foreign ow ned.
South Africa
A controversia l subject is Weyerhaeuser' s investment in South Africa. Some
persons indict Weyerhaeuser for supporting racial segrega tion there. Weyerhaeuser
has located a paper board plant on the
edge of a reservation for Blacks. ":Veyerhaeuser is accused of ex ploiting cheap
Black labor (apartheid system). Wages are
near subsis tence level for so me Black
workers. Some critics say this practice
violates a 1965 po licy set by ·the company
say ing it wo uld do nothing to support the
apartheid system.
The company counters this argument
by sayi ng the South African venture actua ll y improves the liv ing stan~ards of ~he
Blacks. All products from thiS operatIOn
are used by the Blacks themselves . Weyerhaeuser claims it produces paper board
for packaging agricultural produc.t s grown
on the reservation , and that thiS means
the Blacks are not being exploit~d for an
export market. Through produc~s a~d
wages, Weyerhaeuser contends It .IS raising living standards and weakening the
aparthe id system .
The issue seems to rise above the exact
circu mstances of Weyerhaeuser's involvement. Weyerhaeuser sees itself not only as
a n economic developer but a political developer as well. It 's questionable, however. that a company can make an agreement with a government a nd thell try to
subvert the very c ultural basis upon
which that government is esta blished . ..
Weyerhaeuser is growing more .sensltlve
about their South African operations and
the ir investment' in the Third World.
Weyerhaeuser's public affairs department
published a background paper in 1971 .on
" Weyerhaeuser's Investment In The Third
World. " The purpose of the paper was to
give managers inform~tio~ t~. co~nt.er the
increasing amount of radical cntlCls.m ..
The case studies of foreign subsldlanes
have been some of the most controversial
and difficult areas to research for the
Multinational's study . While maintaining
a cri tical attitude, the members of the
Multinationals Contract want to present
as ob jective a view as possible. This is ~he
first study of its type done on such a Wide
range of Weyerhaeuser's activities ..Its ~ur­
pose goes beyond an educatio~al . inquiry .
It w ill become important publIC informati on for persons who want to know how
Weyerh ae user influences their lives. "and
the lives of persons in foreign countnes.

Mr . X: I don't think S&A money should
be used to fund political organizations_
These political groups exclude people who
don't agree with them. And they're always trying to sell their biased ideas to
the students.
Ms . Z: Well friend, the "Canoe Trip" is
one S&A proposaL Sounds like a lot of
fun, but isn't it political?
Mr. X: No, that has ,nothing to do with
government.
Ms, Z: But by taking no positiOn regarding politics, isn't that a political stand? I
mean, isn't being neutral simply accepting
things as they are?
.
Mr. X: No, they're just going canoeing!
Ms, Z: I'm all for canoeing, but I think
when people say, "What I want to do- is
go canoeing - I want S&A money for a
canoe trip ," they are not "apoliticaL" In
essence, they are saying, " Things are
okay if I can go canoeing."
Mr. X: What's the matter? Do you have
something against canoeing?
Ms_ Z: Not at all; I might even join
them! I'm only saying that it's important
for people to understand that neutrality
constitutes a political stand,
Mr , X: That's not political! It has nothing
to do w ith Democrats or Republicans,
governments, ruling people, exploitation,
farmworkers or anything like that I
Ms. Z: That's exactly what I'm saying;
by ignoring these realities, by not presenting a challenge to existing conditions, a
person implies sa tisfaction with the established order. That's cool ; if someone
doesn't recognize their own oppression
that's okay by me , but they should understand that these are their politics, They're
going canoeing while most rivers are becoming sewers, and few people have access either to a canoe or a clean river.
The canoes are made by people like me,
who make them because they must
"makea li v ing," no t beca use they choose to

do so. So it is a political stand , even if I
Mr. X: But don't these political groups
exclude people who don't agree with
them? The "Canoe Trip" doesn't exclude
anyone , Everyone can go, regardless of
their politics.
Ms. Z: Sure, but the "Canoe Trip" excludes non-canoers, just as the theatre /
dance group, another S&A proposal, excludes those who aren't interested in theatre and dance _ And the basketball group
excludes non-basketball players _ Of
course, these groups don't prevent people
from joining them, but they do exist only
for people who share the same interests
and goak That's okay, because we do
have different interests . Do you expect
that basketball players and canoers be in
one "sports" group, and then discuss
which sport to do?
Mr. X: But you can go canoeing whether
you're a socialist, a Republican , an unregistered voter, a libertarian, a communist,
or a Wallace supporter. People of all political persuasions can join the group . It
isn't attempting to sell any particular political ideology _
Ms. Z : So you believe that each S&A
group unites around a particular interest
(say , canoeing), although members may
differ in other ways?
Mr. X: Yes, that's pretty accurate.
Ms. Z: Then doesn't it follow that "political" groups are also organizations whose
members are united around a common
goal, a lthough they may differ in other
ways?
Mr. X: No, because all the members must
have similar politics,
Ms . Z : Yes, that's why you join a consciously political group - because you
share some of the same goa ls. Yet , for example, in a "leftist" or "liberal" group
there may be musicians , biologists, vegetarian s, meat -ea ters, Jews, Cathol ic s,
Blacks, poets, canoers, meditators, dancers, or a nything, People may even have
important differences in their "political"

interpretations. Such a group is certainly
no more "closed" than any other group.
Mr. X: But these political groups are not
objective. They never give both sides of a
story _
Ms. Z: What do you mean when you say
they are not objective?
Mr. X: They' re clearly looking at things
fro m a narrow perspective, and they refuse to present the other side of any issue.
They don't represent the students_
Ms. Z: You know, it's interesting that
some people always demand that groups
on the left present all sides of an issue,
whi le they never expect a similar action
from the establishment media, I read the
Daily Olympian every day, and I have
yet to read a Marxist analysis of events.
And I'm not offended! Nor do I ask the
Daily Olympian to change its name because it's not representative of Olympia,
It's obviously representative of the people
who publish it - the Gannett media empire _
Mr. X: But still, shouldn't a responsible
poli tical group present all sides of an
issue?
Ms , Z: I think people should try to understand an issue, and then say what they
think. We've heard the same "line" all our
lives in ; chool, on T. V " on the radio,
a nd in the newspapers . This'''objectivity''
is a lie. Isn't it about time we began thInking for ourselves and speaking our minds?
Mr. X : Sure, but I don't think you should
get S&A funding for that.
Ms. Z: Are you saying that only groups
which are politically neutral - groups
that don't question the status-quo should
get money? You mean that groups which
present a radical alternative are not entit led to the same funding?
Mr. X : Well , I'm just not sure if it's legaL
Maybe I should ask the Attorney General
about this!
Ms. Z: Hmmm. .. you've been well
trained ; maybe he'll give you a job when
you gradu~tel:

Mr. X: They' re clearly looking at things
fro m a narrow perspective, and they refuse to present the other side of any issue.
They don't represent the students_
Ms. Z: You know, it's interesting that
some people always demand that groups
on the left present all sides of an issue,
whi le they never expect a similar action
from the establishment media, I read the
Daily Olympian every day, and I have
yet to read a Marxist analysis of events.
And I'm not offended! Nor do I ask the
Daily Olympian to change its name because it's not representative of Olympia,
It's obviously representative of the people
who publish it - the Gannett media empire _
Mr. X: But still, shouldn't a responsible
poli tical group present all sides of an
issue?
Ms , Z: I think people should try to understand an issue, and then say what they
think. We've heard the same "line" all our
lives in ; chool, on T. V " on the radio,
a nd in the newspapers . This'''objectivity''
is a lie. Isn't it about time we began thInking for ourselves and speaking our minds?
Mr. X : Sure, but I don't think you should
get S&A funding for that.
Ms. Z: Are you saying that only groups
which are politically neutral - groups
that don't question the status-quo should
get money? You mean that groups which
present a radical alternative are not entit led to the same funding?
Mr. X : Well , I'm just not sure if it's legaL
Maybe I should ask the Attorney General
about this!
Ms. Z: Hmmm. .. you've been well
trained ; maybe he'll give you a job when
you gradu~tel:

Olympia Night Life

Olympia . In Coyote's, men wear T-shirts
cut off at the top of the sleeves so as to
flex their muscles for the young lovelies.
Under the guise of dancing, people are
best able to ascertain a person's capabilities at "bedroom gymnastics." Men often
"hang out" in the bathroom to measure
their "pole of masculinity" against their
competitors.
An atmosphere like this breeds such
weekly events as "Go-Go dancing" night,
which pits local females in a contest for a
cash prize. Captain Coyote's also presents
occasional "lingerie shows" which cater to
the devotees of lingerie about as much as
Judy's Sauna appeals to practitioners of
Buddhist massage. There's something for
everybody at Captain Coyote's, or at
least that's what they'd like us to think.
But not everybody who goes to Coyote's is necessarily on the lookout for
some action. It is one of the few places in
Thurston County with live Rock music to
dance to. The bands tend to be imitation
Grand Funk with a propensity for turning
up the volume in lieu of musical ability.
However, everybody likes to shake a leg
every now and then and the surreal atmosphere of Captain Coyote's affords us
the opportunity to "let it out."
And if you're not Horny

It was another night at Captain Coyote's. There was a crowd of some 30 persons who by this time were all past the
point where it would be legal to drive.
The band, a non-entity calling itself
"Tillman Tho]l1as," was at the bar making
wisecracks to the barmaid. The dozen or
so tables were immersed in their attempts
at conversational English. Suddenly a
loud voice was heard filling the room
from the stalls in the bathroom to the
equipment on the b.andstand, "Does anybody have a joint1" The call however fell
on deaf ears as the crowd merrily clanked
their glasses and continued to muddle
their sentences. The trim young man, failing to ...read the crowd's apathy, shoutec'
once again (only with far more determination) "Does anybody have a joint?" This
time the crowd was tamed into quiet submission. The uncommon quiet remained
until the same young man witticized
"Now don't all stand up at once ."
It seemed as if everyone turned at this
p0int to see who exactly this propositi~)ner was. However the change of directi~)n in the crowd's attention fai led to increase the level of noise. Thus, our young
rrl)t.l~l)nist C0ncluded with great wisdom:

"There must be a narc here." Failing to
gain a response once again, our blonded
hero appeared to grow tired of the limelight. In a faltering voice he muttered "Is
anybody here a narc?"
Good fortune reigned for all as "Tillman Thomas" resumed their places at the
bandstand 'and loudly entered upon their
rendition of "In-a-Godda-da-vida. " The
lead singer, appearing as if he had just returned from a two - year exile at Boys
Town, made peculiar gestures with the
microphone. As for our dope-starved
friend, he soon recovered his bearings and
to demonstrate this fact he descended
onto the dance floor swinging his arms in
huge circles.
In Lieu of an Introduction
Drinking is the second greatest pastime
in Olympia, surpassed only by sex. Many
peop le (ministers, etc.), who do not
drink, find great pleasure in even the
most vulgar forms of sexual adventurism .
Furthermore, a significant percentage of
regu lar drinkers are not "getting anything. "
The desire to "get so mething" often
lea ds persons to such places as Captain
Coyo te's , a bistro on the westside of

Thurston County Taverns are not restricted to those who are on th~ make or
want to dance. In fact the overwhelming
majority of places are rather quiet and
cater to juke-boxes and low-key conversation. Evergreen students have taken a
liking to a number of local taverns, particularly Spud and Elma's.
Spud and Elma's two mile house is the
closest tavern to the Evergreen campus
which in itself is enough to guarantee
itself a lot of business. Before the college
opened its clientele was a steady flow of
local Olympians. Spud's has adjusted
peacefully to the arrival of the students ;
old-timers and the newcomers sit and
drink in peace sharing beer and conversation.
A usual evening at the Two-mile house
will have you going through a few pitchers of Oly on tap and shooting a few
games of poo!. The juke-box has a wide
variety of selections but best suits the
older set. And if the brew loosens up
your feet enough there is a dance floor
where you can fan the flames .
Spud and Elma's has live music on
weekends; a small group featuring organ
and guitar. It's not the Alice Cooper-Dead
Babies action one encounters at Captain
Coyote's but a peaceful performance of
the "standards" not really geared to the
typical young person . Spud's is an enjoyable place to be.
Non-Evergreen Reality
Most of the taverns in Olympia rarely
find themselves enjoying the presence of
an Evergreener. These taverns are more
like neighborhood clubs where if one of

21

May 22,1975
their regular customers passes on they just
do that much less business. The list of
these taverns in Thurston County seems
endless; Charlies, The Vkstside Tavern,
the Red Barn, the Chatterbox, etc., etc .,
etc . . . .
Perhaps the one tavern of this nature
which has gained the most notoriety is
The Brotherhood, located downtown on
Capitol Way. Situated beneath the Labor
Temple, the Brotherhood is the resident
tavern of Olympia's longshoremen. Because of this, many suppose it to be the
toughest place in town, and if you don't
take a knife in with you, you'll walk out
with one in your gut.
The mystique of the Brotherhood is in
reality a sham. As a noted tavern hopper
remarked, "Compared with a lot of places
in Seattle this place is a Sunday Schoo!. "
The patrons of the Brotherhood tend to
relax into the soft cushions of the booths
and sip Blitz on tap. The conversation can
grow animated and exciting. They also
provide a long list of items for those who
have a craving for food.
The Brotherhood is located on rather
small premises and while Evergreen students may not find themselves anxiously
greeted there, they will certainly not find
any undue hostility. When I inquired with
the bartender as to how . long the Bfotherhood had been open to the public, he responded "Hell, kid, as long as the building's been here."
The Consumate Drunk
There are a few taverns in Olympia
where people make it a point to spend the
evening drinking. With most places you
either drop in for a quick pitcher or else
you go for the express purpose of eating
or dancing. The one exception to this rule
is the Eastside Club located on Fourth
Street near Jefferson, downtown .
The Eastside Club attracts a wide variety of persons ranging from old-Olympians to state workers and Evergreen students. Missing is the overbearing ·machismo of Captain Coyote's while the atmosphere is always one of relaxed enjoyment.
For those who are athletically inclined
there are six bona fide pool tables; not
the hokey two-bits a game tables but regulation size tables that you pay for by the
hour. And if you really get itchy you can
barge your way up to one of the two
football tables.
But a lot of people go to the Eastside
Club just to sit in the booths, sip on the
Budweiser, and carry on their conversations. After a few beers you can find
yourself talking with someone you'd
never seen before or filing through the
magazine rack near the front door.
The Eastside Club is owned and operated by a gentleman named Babe who is
something of an institution in himself. An
experienced proprietor, Babe runs a tight
ship and never allows the place to be
overrun by fights or unpleasant scenes.

W ith a carefu l eye for meeting people's
needs , Babe has recently opened up a
ca rdroom and maintains two of the most
en joyable pinball machines in the county.
People find :t difficu lt to be bored at
the Eas tside Club but they don 't fee l like
there is any ma mm oth pressure upon
them to act in any parti cula r way. That
in itself makes it well worth visiting.
Night life in Olympia can be rather
dull. Olympia taverns are not particularly
flashy , wild or decadent. It is there more
than anywhere else, however , that the
local persona lity manifests itself. At Coyote's you find young, horny kids out to
have a good time with music and adven-

ture. At Spud's there is an interesting mi xture of very old people who are genera ll y
quiet and like to ta lk and some young
peop le (m ostl y Eve rgreeners) w ho are almost eq uall y quiet. The Brotherhood offers th e longshoreman atmosphere in a
quiet se ttin g. The Eastside (which is a
very large ta ve rn for O ly mpia) is domina ted by sta te workers and student s.
There is no dancin g, but a great deal of
ta lking . And for people who like to play
poo l or pinball it is the place to be.
If you want to see O lympia as a whole ,
if you wa nt to see students, a nd workers
mix, visit these taverns. You sho uld find
it interesting, and fun .

It was another night at Captain Coyote's. There was a crowd of some 30 persons who by this time were all past the
point where it would be legal to drive.
The band, a non-entity calling itself
"Tillman Tho]l1as," was at the bar making
wisecracks to the barmaid. The dozen or
so tables were immersed in their attempts
at conversational English. Suddenly a
loud voice was heard filling the room
from the stalls in the bathroom to the
equipment on the b.andstand, "Does anybody have a joint1" The call however fell
on deaf ears as the crowd merrily clanked
their glasses and continued to muddle
their sentences. The trim young man, failing to ...read the crowd's apathy, shoutec'
once again (only with far more determination) "Does anybody have a joint?" This
time the crowd was tamed into quiet submission. The uncommon quiet remained
until the same young man witticized
"Now don't all stand up at once ."
It seemed as if everyone turned at this
p0int to see who exactly this propositi~)ner was. However the change of directi~)n in the crowd's attention fai led to increase the level of noise. Thus, our young
rrl)t.l~l)nist C0ncluded with great wisdom:

"There must be a narc here." Failing to
gain a response once again, our blonded
hero appeared to grow tired of the limelight. In a faltering voice he muttered "Is
anybody here a narc?"
Good fortune reigned for all as "Tillman Thomas" resumed their places at the
bandstand 'and loudly entered upon their
rendition of "In-a-Godda-da-vida. " The
lead singer, appearing as if he had just returned from a two - year exile at Boys
Town, made peculiar gestures with the
microphone. As for our dope-starved
friend, he soon recovered his bearings and
to demonstrate this fact he descended
onto the dance floor swinging his arms in
huge circles.
In Lieu of an Introduction
Drinking is the second greatest pastime
in Olympia, surpassed only by sex. Many
peop le (ministers, etc.), who do not
drink, find great pleasure in even the
most vulgar forms of sexual adventurism .
Furthermore, a significant percentage of
regu lar drinkers are not "getting anything. "
The desire to "get so mething" often
lea ds persons to such places as Captain
Coyo te's , a bistro on the westside of

Thurston County Taverns are not restricted to those who are on th~ make or
want to dance. In fact the overwhelming
majority of places are rather quiet and
cater to juke-boxes and low-key conversation. Evergreen students have taken a
liking to a number of local taverns, particularly Spud and Elma's.
Spud and Elma's two mile house is the
closest tavern to the Evergreen campus
which in itself is enough to guarantee
itself a lot of business. Before the college
opened its clientele was a steady flow of
local Olympians. Spud's has adjusted
peacefully to the arrival of the students ;
old-timers and the newcomers sit and
drink in peace sharing beer and conversation.
A usual evening at the Two-mile house
will have you going through a few pitchers of Oly on tap and shooting a few
games of poo!. The juke-box has a wide
variety of selections but best suits the
older set. And if the brew loosens up
your feet enough there is a dance floor
where you can fan the flames .
Spud and Elma's has live music on
weekends; a small group featuring organ
and guitar. It's not the Alice Cooper-Dead
Babies action one encounters at Captain
Coyote's but a peaceful performance of
the "standards" not really geared to the
typical young person . Spud's is an enjoyable place to be.
Non-Evergreen Reality
Most of the taverns in Olympia rarely
find themselves enjoying the presence of
an Evergreener. These taverns are more
like neighborhood clubs where if one of

21

May 22,1975
their regular customers passes on they just
do that much less business. The list of
these taverns in Thurston County seems
endless; Charlies, The Vkstside Tavern,
the Red Barn, the Chatterbox, etc., etc .,
etc . . . .
Perhaps the one tavern of this nature
which has gained the most notoriety is
The Brotherhood, located downtown on
Capitol Way. Situated beneath the Labor
Temple, the Brotherhood is the resident
tavern of Olympia's longshoremen. Because of this, many suppose it to be the
toughest place in town, and if you don't
take a knife in with you, you'll walk out
with one in your gut.
The mystique of the Brotherhood is in
reality a sham. As a noted tavern hopper
remarked, "Compared with a lot of places
in Seattle this place is a Sunday Schoo!. "
The patrons of the Brotherhood tend to
relax into the soft cushions of the booths
and sip Blitz on tap. The conversation can
grow animated and exciting. They also
provide a long list of items for those who
have a craving for food.
The Brotherhood is located on rather
small premises and while Evergreen students may not find themselves anxiously
greeted there, they will certainly not find
any undue hostility. When I inquired with
the bartender as to how . long the Bfotherhood had been open to the public, he responded "Hell, kid, as long as the building's been here."
The Consumate Drunk
There are a few taverns in Olympia
where people make it a point to spend the
evening drinking. With most places you
either drop in for a quick pitcher or else
you go for the express purpose of eating
or dancing. The one exception to this rule
is the Eastside Club located on Fourth
Street near Jefferson, downtown .
The Eastside Club attracts a wide variety of persons ranging from old-Olympians to state workers and Evergreen students. Missing is the overbearing ·machismo of Captain Coyote's while the atmosphere is always one of relaxed enjoyment.
For those who are athletically inclined
there are six bona fide pool tables; not
the hokey two-bits a game tables but regulation size tables that you pay for by the
hour. And if you really get itchy you can
barge your way up to one of the two
football tables.
But a lot of people go to the Eastside
Club just to sit in the booths, sip on the
Budweiser, and carry on their conversations. After a few beers you can find
yourself talking with someone you'd
never seen before or filing through the
magazine rack near the front door.
The Eastside Club is owned and operated by a gentleman named Babe who is
something of an institution in himself. An
experienced proprietor, Babe runs a tight
ship and never allows the place to be
overrun by fights or unpleasant scenes.

W ith a carefu l eye for meeting people's
needs , Babe has recently opened up a
ca rdroom and maintains two of the most
en joyable pinball machines in the county.
People find :t difficu lt to be bored at
the Eas tside Club but they don 't fee l like
there is any ma mm oth pressure upon
them to act in any parti cula r way. That
in itself makes it well worth visiting.
Night life in Olympia can be rather
dull. Olympia taverns are not particularly
flashy , wild or decadent. It is there more
than anywhere else, however , that the
local persona lity manifests itself. At Coyote's you find young, horny kids out to
have a good time with music and adven-

ture. At Spud's there is an interesting mi xture of very old people who are genera ll y
quiet and like to ta lk and some young
peop le (m ostl y Eve rgreeners) w ho are almost eq uall y quiet. The Brotherhood offers th e longshoreman atmosphere in a
quiet se ttin g. The Eastside (which is a
very large ta ve rn for O ly mpia) is domina ted by sta te workers and student s.
There is no dancin g, but a great deal of
ta lking . And for people who like to play
poo l or pinball it is the place to be.
If you want to see O lympia as a whole ,
if you wa nt to see students, a nd workers
mix, visit these taverns. You sho uld find
it interesting, and fun .

Babe and friends at the Eastside Club

Campesino

OLYMPIA
Cinema

By CAROL WELCH
Con el ritmo de la tierra y pasion de
sus vidas (with the rhythm of the earth
and the passion of their lives) El Teatro
Campesino brought their message of humanity to the Evergreen campus earlier
t his week . In a performance entitled, "El
Fin del Mundo" (the end of the world)
they conveyed the common experience all
people share - that of death and the urgency of our present situation in respect
to our impending destruction if we continue to abuse mother earth and one another.
Through the s ti rring beats of the music
and the symbolic use of colored flags to
represent the nations in this world and the
manifestations of mother earth, the performers wove an interesting story of the
spirit and phi losophy of Indian life. The
b lack flag signifies the earth, animals and
the Black nation; blue, the moon, water
and the Indians; white, the cosmos, air
a nd White people ; and yell ow , represents
the earth, s un and the Asian nation.
Through mi suse and exploitation of one
another there is inevitable doom for all ,
for "if you take revenge against the man ,
y ou become like him ." But through this
ruination there is the hope of new life .
The Theater's appeal is to acknowledge
this state of affairs in our present day.
Formed in 1965, in Delano , El Teatro
Campesino (Farmworkers Theater) ' origi- .
nally began to carry the message of th e
boycott and strike across the nation .
Since then their repertoire has grown to
include a wider range of topics dealing
with the various concerns of La Raza .
Their production at Evergreen was a
poignant commentary and a spirited portrayal of a cause relative to the entire
audie nce.
