Ken Ke sey at TESC

Acid clarity is often con fusing
by Eric L. Stone
By 6:45p.m., Monday, the
expectant hubbub of the
crowd arriving in the main
lobby of the library was
already starting to swell. A
tape player emitted a bad
fidelity sound resembling the
Grateful Dead of 1972. Ken
Kesey was coming to speak at
8 p.m., by 7 p.m. there were
already a couple of hundred
people waiting in their seats
for him.
Ken Kesey is a lot of things
to a lot of people . A legend in
several worlds, he was a
wrestler before psychedelic
fame grabbed him by the
lapels. The expectations among the waiting crowd ran
high, most of them knowing
of, and waiting for, the Tom
Wolfe Kesey, the Kesey of
Electric Kool-Aid Acid fame .
''I'm sure the students here
have no idea what they're
getting themselves in for ."
"He's about as indigenous
to the Northwest l guess, as
me and rain."
"Maybe he'll drop in from
the ceiling."
The sickly, sweet smell of
devil weed rose from the
crowd to the balcony above .
Long about 7:30 p.m. when
the crowd had reached, and
passed the 500 mark, someone
said, "If people were flammable this would be a very
dangerous place to be right
now ." It was getting rather
hot in_the library lobby .
Somebody stepped up to
the microphone, an introduction, Kesey in disguise? It was
someone who was running for
President next time around
and wanted us to get Nixon
out of the way first. You can't
go anywhere anymore without hearing the great paga~
call to impeach Nixon.
Finally at approximately
8:03 p.m., the mo!>. on time

speaker ever seen at Evergreen stumbled hi s way ,
bottle of orange juice in hand,
to the microphone . "Oh, I'm
doing my Jim Morrison number."
Then he launched into what
became an allegorical story,
just barely salvaged from the
realm of incomprehensibility.
It seems that it was Christmas and Kesey and his family
were broke, and going to
Mexico sometime in the
future had something to do
with it, and these people
showed up at his farm with
their sick, natural child, and
had been kicked out of a lot of
communes and somehow that
all got around to , "unless we
change our minds, we're just
going to go out!"
Owsley, the mysteriou s
LSD chemistry whiz, provided Kesey with his next
parable and / or paradox. "A
number of people were on a
train getting high. They got
so high that t hey could see
pretty far , and they saw that
the train was headed for a
curve which it was going too
fast to take. Rather than see
the train wrecked, half of
them went on up ahead to try
.and 'blow the switch to divert
the train'. The other half
stayed on board in an attempt
to slow the train down ."
Kesey's delivery and stage '
presence were far removed
from the oay-glo crazy of the
Tom Wolfe book, however,
the often vague connections
he made between points in his
speech were not much removed from the acid scramble described in t he book.
Sounding like an acid-crazed
commie mixing his Marx with
Leary and Einstein, Kesey
espoused his own version of
the socialist work eth ic .
"There is no escape from

dr udgery to fin d ourselves ...
somebody is always going to
have to wash the dishes!" Ken
Kesey as a homespun socialist.
Most everybody, according
to Kesey , has a demon in
them, "a little demon looking
a great deal like Dale Carnegie. " This demon person is
wh at prevents rational progress by people. It causes
them to feel t he need a nd
desire for 'aerosol cans of
shaving cream', "a brush and
plain ol soap even give you a
better shave ... we've all gone
fo r the fried ice-cream."
Kesey said that in order to
fu nction in the future, people
must learn t o handle their
demon . "If there is no way to
shut him down , then find a
way to grease him t o work
better."
" T he r e is no el ectrical
co nve nien ce t hat will be
worth the souls and futures of
your childre n, your grandchildren ... "
Having stuck in a roundabout way to t he general topic
of ecology throughout his
speech, Kesey turned to the
political and personal aspects
of implementing changes. "If
you can vote in a governor
wit h a beard, you can turn
your lights off and wear long

underwear .. .Burrouglls said
that we are fighting the third
world war right now."
According to Kesey, it is in
the small local governments
t hat real change can take
place, "The power is there,
we just have 'to reach down
and pick it up ... I'm an acid
head, beatnik, ex-con who's
deciding the future of Oregon's building code, that's
right, but it's not so strange
when I ask myself, who else
is going to do it? ... give me one
strong person who is willing
to change his ways ... and that
is t he way we change this
nation, by changing the human heart."
Moving on to the ever
popul ar topic of Ric-hard
N ixo n , Kesey said, "We
needed a loser and Nixon is a
loser ... ! don't want him to
resign, he has three years of
heavy losing to do. I want to
see him do every minute of
it."
Then Kesey spoke pointedly about ~he letter of the law.
Basically he said, that when
government breaks the law,
there is no· law. When an
official of a state lowers the
speed limit to 50, that should
mean t hat he can't drive at 70
to get to a meeting he's late
for. Setting up an imaginary
poker game with God, Kesey
said , "I don't care who he is , if
he peeks he gets the two bit
bump."
Rambling on for a little while
longer, Kesey spoke of how
the Disney Worlds of this
country are a new type of
opiate for t he masses, and~
t hen moved on to what he
calls, "earthquake conscious·
ness." "Earthquake con-r
sciousness" is the attitude 1

Demand on
fee date
To t he Editor:
Last week t he Evergreen
comm unity received notice
from the Office of the Controller that the deadline fo r
payment of fees for Winter
Quarter had been set for
December 14. The arbitrary
establishment of t his deadline, far in advance of the
beginning of classes, is unnecessarily strict in comparison
with other colleges, and it
works a dis ti nct hardship
upon t he students. This
deadline is unacceptable.
With this letter we are
announcing the formation of a
new group at Evergreen and
we are demanding that the
December 14 payment deadline be moved to J anuary 31.
If this demand is not met by
Novembe r 22 we have
planned activities that will
significantly disrupt adminisPAGE4

trative procedure at Evergreen.
We decided, by a split vote,
to give you an opportunity to
change t he policy before we
take this disr uptive action.
While we have decided this
would be t he most humane
course of actio n, we are.
concerned t hat you will not
take this letter seriously . If
you do not, we will act. We
are not talk ing about a
demonstration (they do not
work when you have all the
power ), nor are we planning a
violent act. We will, instead,
seriously and repeatedly dis. rupt t he smooth fu nctioning of
the administrative p rocess
until our demand is met. Our
demand is reasonable.

Answer

to demand
Coalition for a Humane Evergreen Community:
If the members (?) of the
Coalition are seriously inter-

ested in resolving a problem
instead of issuing ultimatums,
I wish to remind them that
the Evergreen community has
a mechanism for resolving
grievances. This is spelled out
in the current Bulletin on
pages 150-167. The first step
in that proce!Ss is basically one
of mediation. in which the
,grievance can be aired. I or
any other persons to whom
your undated and unsigned
letter was sent would be
happy to serve that function
and b r ing the app rop riate
parties together.
This statement in no way
sides on the issue involved. I
simply want to point out 'to
the Coalition, whoever "it" is,

"humane" methods for solving
problems.

Polluting
energy
To t he Editor:
Lowering our thermostats,
driving at 50 MPH, curtailing
outdoor lighting, may reduce
the amount of energy we use.
But these actions can offer no
solution to t he real problem
and that is our distressing
lack of energy sources which
are ecologically sound.
When the going gets tough,
when it comes time to bite t he
bullet, our reaction will prove
how seriously committed we
are to an ecologically balanced
environment . Nixon seems all
too willing to forget the things
which t h~ past decade has
shown us. His suggestion t hat
coal-burning utilities and industries be prohibited from
converting to oil can only
mean one thing! the continued
rape of t he ·land by strip mining. His proposed suspension
of federal antipollution stand-

ards and the use of high sulfur
coal can only mean the sacrifice of clean air and our
health.
Nixon states an admirable
goal in making the US selfsufficient in energy by 1980.
-But, the title of his proposal
- "Project Independence" points out how sadly ignorant
of ecological principles he is.
It may be possible for us to
reduce our dependence on
other nations for energy supplies, but we will never be independent of the earth for
them. The energy we need
must come from somewhere,
and there is a price to be paid
relative to the manner in
which we obtain that energy.
If we choose nuclear power
plants, then we risk accidents
with radioactive materials
and the thermal pollution of
our waters.
I refuse to accept the relaxation of what few regulations
we have that seek to reduce
the human impact, for the
supposed purpose of "energy
conservation". Reducing the
amount of energy we use is a
logical reaction to the discovery that the energy source is
finite . Foresight will reveal
that this is not enough . We
must develop new energy
sources. And, if we have
learned anything from past
experience, these new sources
will be ecologically sound .
This is an ideal opportunity
for man to use his brain for
the purposes for which it appears to have been developed.
When man becomes a truly
cognizant member of the natural community, his energy
sources will reflect this.

Saga food
decried
To the Editor:
This is a letter to the editor,
written during a lunch-time
faculty meeting. The letter is
about the food in the cafeteria.

We are simply unable to understand how it can be both so
expensive and so bad.
We are not really asking for
an explanation or a justification; we 're asking for a
change . As a matter of fact ,
we are on the verge of
demanding one. We can no
longer stand to be what we
eat.

Alliance
Over the
barrel
To the Editor:
It is of interest to note the
official policies of Russia and
Red China towards the U.S.
during th is ti me of t he
Watergate crisis. Both countries , while privately committed to the destruct ion of t he
American State, and most
certainly America's #1 capitalist, Richard Nixon , have an
external stand in support of
Nixon and his policy of
detente .
Both countries know full
well that they have Nixon and
the American people over a
barrel. The barrel is full of oil
and American foreign policy,
and both countries are aware
that Nixon's only chance of
survival in t he midst of the
Watergate is Henry Kissinger
and his big bag of American
dollars and wheat.
Both Russia and China are
taking advantage of Kissinger's Fort Knox, and know
that there is, as always , a
finite amount of American
goodwill. Kissinger no doubt
realizes that if the Great
Powers Detente is destroyed,
so is Richard Nixon. Both
Communist countrie s k now
that if Nixon goes, so does
their bargaining power with
the U.S.
It is not so odd then, t hat
Chou and F r ie nds h av e .
denounced the Watergate as a
"trick" of the American Left,
since they know t hat they
can't very well do trade with
idealistic American radicals.
They have throw n the ir
su pport to the ma n that
idealistically , they probably
hate the most.
The point to remember, is
that the value of the mighty
buck has not diminished in the
world, regardless of polit ical
or social structures.

Three little words can
save you medicine money
Frequently when you're sick, nothing hurts
as much as the cost o f the medicine to help
you get better. -But there is· a way you can
save money on prescription drugs and medi cine. By remember ing three little words .. .

"the generic name."
What do these w.ords mean?
Simply this~ Your doctor can write a prescription two ways . He can write the "brand
name" or the generic name (pronounced
jen-air-ic) of the drug. The difference is that
prescriptions can cost a lot less if the doctor
uses the generic name.
How come?
Most well-known adverti sed brands of any. thing cost more than unknown or store
brands. JYou pay for the advert ising that
makes the "brand name" well-known. Brand
name drugs also usually cost more. For examf>le, one drug used to reduce high blood
p1 cssure costs drug stores about $4 ..50 under
its "brand name," yet only 99 ¢ under its generic name. What's more, up to half of the
P AGE6

most widely prescribed drw gs (the.top SO) are
available under their generic name.
Here's what to do.
First, ask your doctor to write down the generic name instead of the brand name. Don't
be afraid to tell him you need to save money
on med icine. Second, tell your pharmacist
that the prescription calls for the generic
name at your request. Ask for the lowestpriced quality generic drug he or she can
recommend.
You could tear out this message and wrap
it around your finger to help you remember.
Or you could keep thinking of the dollars you
want to save. Hther way, remembering three
little words can save you lots of medicine
money. Please remember the generic name.

Editorial
Giving up for Xmas

j

It is fast approaching Christmas and there is an inter esting spirit in this land we call the United States.
It is t he spirit of giving. The government has taken to
giving out things, especially contracts, orders and the
comforts of it s constituents.
The Alaska Pipeline has just been passed in the
House and Senate on an overwhelming t idal wave of
"energy crisis" hysteria. The Alaska Pipeline is a
pretty meaty contract for somebody.
At the request of President Nixon, the man who is
refusing to give up his _presidency for Christmas, a
great many states are giving orders to lower speed
limits t o 50 mph.
The states are giving us fewer school days , longer
school holidays and less heat and light when school is
in session , and less light and heat in government
offiees citizens have to deal wit h.
Some of t he t hings that our government is seeing fit
to give us for Christmas are admittedly things that we
need. Lat ely it seems though, that whenever the
people of this country are given anything by t heir
government, they are required to give· up something
in return.
·
It would , of course, be nice for Richard Nixon to
give up his office. If he finds the people to be too
distant a relation to deserve that big a gift, there are a
number of other things which he could give up. Whenever Air Force One (his jet plane) takes him to San
Clement e, Camp David, or to visit his pal Be be Rebozo
in Florida, it uses up a tremendous amo~n t of fuel. He

End of
the
affluent
society
PAGES

The Seventies may well be
recalled as t he end of the age
of affluence in America. For
years we have been getting
what we wanted, when we
wanted it, but now it just isn't
so easy. E nergy resources, as
most people have only now realized, are not always readily
available. Witness our current shortages which range
from gas station closures at
the end of t he month, to a six
per cent reduction of our oil
supply brought about by the
current Mid-E ast situation.
Witness also t he Canadian resist ance t o raising Ross Dam
to produce more power.

could cut down on the number of his jaunts.
Once he had his plaiJe specially fly his dog across the
nation to his side at San Clemente. He could leave
"Man's best friend" behind next time. Rather than
continue to use the Presidential gas-eating monster
limousine, Richard Nixon could get around on a Honda
90 or a Vespa. He could wear one of his famous "clot h
coats" to work and turn off the White House heat altogether.
Other agencies of the government also have a lot
they could give up. Congress , for instance, easily generates enough hot air to warm their chambers . What
need have they of central heating?
The military, the largest single user of fuels and oil
products in the United States, has a lot it, too, could
give up. What kind of gas mileage does a Sherman
tank rolling around during peace time exercises get? I
love a parade, but how much gasoline does an Air
Force flying exhibition use? How much oil and its derivatives are squandered by the Seventh Fleet as it
powers around the world flaunting its power?
When Governor Dan Evans is late for his next meeting, will he drive to it at 50 mph? Will a state patrolman seeing him zoom by at 75 give him an outrageously expensive ticket?
'Tis the season to be jolly, and the Yuletide spirit is
apparently one of giving and giving up. But custom
does dictate that when the people give up gifts to the
government, the government give up gifts back .
Americans can't always get
what they want on demand.
Smaller cars will soon become the rule, not the exception as gas prices soar. Who
nee9s a car that can go 140
miles per hour when speed
limits are 50? Why spend
more for "the ride of a Lincoln

Chil e symposium planned
by Doug Wold
On September 11, 1973, a
military coup left t he democratically elected socialistic
government of Chile in a
shambles and its leader, Salvador Allende, dead. Since
that time the news media has
continually run news articles,
commentaries, and editor ials
on those events in Chile.
This flood of interest clearly
identifies t he importance of
that fateful day but leaves
many questions still inadequately answered: Why such
a violent coup? What were t he
prime causes? Did socialism
or democracy fail in Chile?
What effects has t he coup had
upon the quality of life in
Chile?
What is the special meaning
of this military dictators hip in
Latin America? What will be
the effects on leftist movements in other coun t rie s?
What was the extent and t ype
of 1. .S. involvement?

questions are not definitely

significance of the coup on the
Ame rican Cont ine nts and the
possibility of overt U.S. involvement makes it necessarily important for all Americans to search but some mean·
ingful conclusions from this
rapid fire of events .
It is to t his end that a student group, originating in t he
group contract "Revolt In/ By
Economics", is sponsoring a
two-day symposium on Chile
here at Evergreen, Jan. 25
and 26, 1974.
The goals of the North west
Symposium on Chile are to incr e ase th e aware ness an d
public dialogue concerning the
events in Chile. According to
planning group member Ned
Swift, "We hope to enrich the
college populace, surrounding
community , as well as visitors
from throughout the Northwest by providing a unique
educational experience ."
Among t he speakers contracted for the symposium
are: Dr. Maurice Zeit lin, Professor of Sociology, U niver sity of Wisconsin - Madison,
author of six books and many

articles on Latin America,
foremost Latin American sociologist in U.S .; Dr .' Richard
F agan , P rofessor of Political
Science, Stanford University,
president elect ol Latin American Studies Assoc. for 1974,

James P etras, Professor of
Political Science, SYNY Binghampton, author of numerous works on Chile, including Ballots to BuUets: Epitaph
for a Peaceful Revolution with
Betty Petras, Ramparts, Oct.
1973.
P lanning for the symposium's lectures, panel discussions, workshops, and cultural activities is well under
way. However, in order to
provide a full community-wide

is it the policy of student
accounts and the admissions
office to register stude nts
only at the beginning of t he
quarter, but it is becoming
evident that students plan
and arrange their work by
quarter periods, whether for
convenience or by habit.
Other generally accepted
policy on modules is that they
can only be offered by
individual contract faculty,
and must be of academic
substance worthy of academic
credit. This raises a question
that strikes deeper then the
surfacing conflict of ideology
at Evergreen - the dialectic of
spi r t ualism versus intellectualism. It raises the question
of how to determine criteria of
academic worth if we are to
move from traditionally
reputable academic standards.
When Origami was to be
taught in the socio-cultural
context of the "Japan· and t he
West" program, there were
no misunderstandings . Yet
Alexander is presently teaching it in the conte x t of
J apa nese aesthetics, which
differs so greatly from t he
western concept of aestheticism that it presents a
curricular problem worthy of
close examination.
After observing and judging the success of the modules
this year, the Acade mic
Deans will be meeting to
establish clearer policies. A

Report from Hood Canal:

Nuclear subs to crt
by Gary Plautz

Nestled along Hood Canal
and dwarfed by t he majestic
Olympic Mountains is Bangor,
Was hington. Bangor, on the
Kitsap Peninsula, is 12 miles
south of the Hood Canal
Bridge, about 15 miles from
Bremerton, and about a n
80 mile drive from TESC.
In 1978, it will be the base of
America's newest and, potentially, costliest defense apparatus, the Trident nuclear
submarine.
On September 14, 1971 , former Secretary of De fense
Melvin Laird instructed t he
Navy to begin "engineering
development" of {!. new longrange missile to be finished in
1977. A new submarine was
tentatively planned fo r completion by 1981. However ,
less than two . months later,
Laird ordered t he Navy to accelerate construction on t he
submarine, anticipat ing completion now by 1978. Laird's
rationalization for this speedup was to respond to "the continuing Soviet st rategic offensive force buildup" and serve
as a "signal to the Soviets ...
in the face of a growing Soviet
t hreat. " What t hese threats
and buildups were has never
been explained .
P ropone nts of th e s ubmarine (now called Trident)
claim t he vessel will be the
United States' mainstay of defense for the rest of the cent ury. It is seen as a signal to
the Soviet Union "that we intend to stay strong" and maint ain technological superiorit y
in the ar ms race. The new
submarine's high speed and
comparative quietness would

missiles (4,000 miles) would
allow t he Trident to strike
Russia from almost any place
in the world.
Opponents claim the Trident is not necessary . They
point out that our Polaris/ Poseidon submarine fleet is invulnerable now, and in the
forseeable futu re, and that
the present fleet is operational into t he 1990's. The
Trident I missile can be refitted into Polaris submarines
at a much less cost than the
building of new subs. Opponents also say const r uction of
Trident wou ld be a "major escalat ion ofthe arms race" and
be directly contrary t o t he
purpose of the SALT talks.
Some History
In 1955, the United St ates
launched its first nuclear-powered submarine, t he Nautilus.
It wasn't unt il 1960 that longrange missiles could be fitted
into such submarines. The
George Washington , armed
with 16 Polaris missiles wit h a
range of 1,200 nautical miles ,

was christened in t hat year.
By 1966 , 41 Polaris submarines had been built . This
meant t he United States submarine force was capable of
hitting . 656 separate targets
with a warhead yield of one
megaton.
Milit ary technology , a ·n ev- '
er-satisfied creature, marched
on, however . In 1970, the development of a new missile,
the Poseidon, was completed.
The Poseidon has a range of
2,500 miles and utilizes MIRV
tech nology (mu lti ple inde pende ntly target able reentry
vehicles). With MIRV, each
missile consists of 10 to 14
warheads which can strike
separate t argets. This means
one submarine can st rike 160
separate targets . This is the
system t hat defends us now .
Trident surfaces
The Navy felt , t hough, they
needed a bigger, even better
weapon for t he future . Hence,
it called for t he development
of the Trident weapons system in late 1971.

Originally , the Trident program was di vided into t hree
parts , two missiles and the
new submarine. The Trident I
missile has a 4,000 mile range
and is to be completed by
1978. The Trident II has a
range of 6,000 miles but is not
scheduled for operation until
the mid 1980's. Most importantly, the Trident I can be
converted into our existing
submarines but t he Trident II
can't.
Ten Trident submarines are
slated to be built by 1978 and
would have the new , improved qualities the Navy
claims it needs . Besides its
high speed and quietness, the
Tride nt would also be able to
carry 24 missiles . With an
average of 17 warheads to
each mi ss ile, one Trident
could hit 408 separate targets.
Cost of t he Trident I missile
and ten submarines is estimated by the Defense Department at $13.5 billion. Other
conside rations such as construction of the base, new sub
tende rs, etc. , boosts this total
to near ly $25 billion . Ultimate
costs could reach $50 billion
over ten years.
Congressional battles
Like almost all administration defense requests, the Trident was given blanket approval by Congress in 1971.
But when Laird announced
t he speed-up of constr uction
of t he submarine, many members of Congress rose up in
opposition.
Members of Congress for
Peace Through Law, led by
William Proxmire, began a
fight to slow down construction of the submarine, approving of the Trident I missile,
though . The administration's

se PugetSound?
request for fiscal 1973 of $977
million was reduced to $795
million but this setback had no
effect on the procure ment
funds for the submarine.
This year, the road was
even rockier for Trid ent.
After a bitter battle through
the Senate Armed Services
Committee, Trident was appropriated $1.5 billion for the
continuance of its develop-

the employment of 3,185 civilians and 4,600 military pers on ne l by 1981. Jacks on,
then , has a stake in the Trident program for his constituents and will probably never
be critical of it again . This
year, J ackson led the fight for
the Trident in committee and
on the Senate floor, both
Jackson and Warren Magnuson cast crucial votes for the

President Nixon was "extremely gratified" with theresults of the vote . He , of
course, is -a staunch supporter
of · the Trident system and
approved of the speed-up of
the system because he wanted
more "bargaining" power at
the next SALT talks .
Sen. Jackson's Role
An important factor in the
Congressional approval of Trident has been Washington's
junior senator, Henry Jackson. In 1972, Jackson , a member of the Armed Services
Commit t ee, voted for an
amendment to eliminate fu nds
for the submarine but reversed his vote when t he
amendment reached the floor.
Six months later, Bangor was
announced as t he base for Trident.
The Bangor base will cost
$550 million to build and will
generate an estimated $100
million-a-year payroll into the
economy of Washington state.

Seattle, is actively opposing

Dick Nelson is t he head of

many reservations about the

Collision possibility?
"What about t he possibility
of a collision in Hood Canal?"
Nelson asked. "The Navy assures us that it couldn't
happen but if it did , radioactive seepage would contaminate the canal. And though
the possibility of an accidental
atomic explosion is highly unlikely , the submarine's missile
fuel is extremely dangerous. "
By law, an Environmental

the effectiveness of this law

'To see a world
a gra1n
-William Blake
of sand'
by John Enlow

The Scanning E lectron Microscope came to Evergreen
this fall. Along with related
equ ipment, it occupies two
rooms in the basement of the
Laboratory building. This impressive and costly research
tool is under the supervision
of facu lty member Don Humphrey, faculty member in the
Matter and Motion coordinated studies program.
Why , in days of slim finances, did Evergreen acquire
a Scanning Electron Microscope? First, it has a magnification range of from 7 diam~ters up to 140,000 diameters .
A t the top end it can
distinguish between two objects 60 angstroms apart .
(Want to know how thin an
angstr0m is? In your mind
think ultimate thin, it's thinner than that. )
Second, there is no need to
squint over an eyepiece as in a
light microscope. The image
of the specimen appears , with
very high clarity, on a television-type monitor mounted
'in a cabinet next to the microscope. The image can also be
carried to students in other
'rooms by mean~ of remote receivers.
The greatest value of the
Scanning E lectron Microscope
(or S.E.M. ) though> is that it
supplies, for the first time, a
real-life view of the microscopic world. It does so be";mse it "sees" the surface of
lid objects. This is opposed
1 the Light Microscope and
mventional Electron Micro~ope in which light or elec- .
rons are transmitted through
· necimen rather thart being
·1~cted off its surface. In
0
b
,;ense the S.E.M. sees the
1 television camera sees.

This accounts for the s tart~
Jingly realistic look S.E.M.
gives into the realm of inner
space.
How does it work?
To explain exactly how this
is done is out of my range, but
here are t he basic steps involved in viewing a specimen
in the S .E.M.:

Say you are walking across
the campus whe n you feel a
slight prick on your arm and
look dow n to see a mosquito
st raddling your vein. Rearing
back your arm to smite him
mightily your scientific curiosity get s the better of you.
How does he do t hat? So,
ge ntly holdi ng t he b lood gorged little sucker, you go to
see Don Humphrey and t ell
him you have something you
would like t o st udy in t he
S.E.M.
The fi rst step is to let t he
specimen dry out; moisture in
the microscope causes "gassing" wh ich disto rt s t he
image. After drying, the specimen is placed in a machine
which coats it with evaporated gold a few atoms thick .
The gold coat aids in the conduction of electrons , yielding
a sharper clearer picture.
Next, y our mosquito is
placed on a small, circular
glass slide and inserted in the
microscope. The elements of
the electron microscope are
encased in an air- tight housing capable of sustaining a
vacuum. The creat ion of a
vacuum is necessary to aid In
the conduct ion of t he electrons. The necessity of a
v acuum, howe ver, makes
viewing a living specimen impossible.

The electron gun is now
turned on, shooting a st ream

of electrons t hrojlgh a metal
tip which directs the Dow to
the specimen. The stream of
elect rons "scans" across t he
surface of the specimen , The
electr ons and elect ron shadows are .t hen carried to t he
picture t ube of the monitor in
the cabinet adjacent to t he microscope. This picture tube
works just like a conventional
television picture t ube except
t hat it has t wice as many scanning lines (1,100 as compared
t o 525).
You are now ready to view
your friend. You set the microscope on a low magnification, say fifty times, and turn
t he set on. The sudden headon view of a mosquito at 50 x
is likely to make many people
jump back, looking for a chair
and a whip.
But, upon a more r ational
viewing you become aware of
t hings: the perfection of the
parts, t he way they int eract,
t he complexity of all living
t hi ngs. Ev ery increase in
magn ificatio n reveals new,

smaller struct ures. A magnification of 800 x on t he end of
the proboscis and you see exactly what happe ned t o you.

Theatre/Danc'e:

New learning mod.e
by Doug Ellis
The Evergreen State College has had Coordinated
Studies Programs , Group
Contracts and Individual Contracts since its incept ion and
now from the growing pains of
three years emerges the all
new Coordinated Group Contract.
The idea was born and
cultivated in the minds of
Ainara Wilder, faculty member for instruction in Theatre
Arts, and Bud Johansen, also
a faculty member, who is
involved in dance. The idea
has many advantages over the
now existing Coordinated
Studies Program and Group
Contracts and will someday
be put to use in other areas, if
the outcome of this initial
Theatre/ Dance Coordinated
Group Contract is favorable.
Bud Johansen, the dance
half of the contract, views' the
project as two separate disciplines that cross over and
blend together when ever
possible. "We have a contract
in dance and a contract in
theatre so people are getting
as much as they can from
these two areas and where
ever possible we're crossing
over and getting t hese groups
together" , Johansen said . He
went on to explain, "next
quarter there will be much
more of a cross over between
the two groups".
As it stands today the
theatre contract is taking
better advantage of the cross
over into dance, than the
dance contract is of their
counterpart, the t heat re
group. So far the dance
contract has only taken weekly makeup workshops as their
avenue into the theatre end of
the coordinated contract.
Ainara Wilder believes t hat,
"dance is a larger : part of
theatre, than theatre is of

Skateland on a Friday night.
" ... been in business here
13 years, only had to call t he

that precedes him .
Matt and Karen met at
Skateland about a year ago
and are now going together
"sort of." Matt is from Santa
Cruz in California and Karen
is a local from Olympia.
"Skateland is just a good place
to go on weekends. We usually come here Friday
nights." Matt goes off to see
some other girl and Karen
says, "I try not to be jealous, I
mean, when we met each
other, he was here with
someone else after all."
"Here" at Skateland has
apparently been a "good place
to go" for 13 some odd years .
During those 13 years it has
been owned and managed by
Gay and Bob Hemphill of
Olympia. The Hemphills enjoy
running the place and a great
many of t he skaters seem to
be on a friendly first name
basis with both of them.
" We 're pretty busy out
here. We have classes in
speed and figure skating,
hockey and form as well. Two
pros and I teach the classes.
We have four buses that bring
people here from pretty much
all over the vicinity, Shelton

/

and Tumwater, etc." Skateland is busy, as a matter of
fact Bob Hemphill says that it
is booked solid seven days a
week till June 14 next year. It
has regularly scheduled skating days with 22 schools and
P.T.A .s a month .
" Northwest Freedom" is
the band. At Skateland it consists of only two of 1ts members, Troy and Oral Ostrander, both guitar players.
"We also have a drummer
and a bass player, the bass
player is sick and the drummer didn't want to come.
Couldn't stand it I guess. " The
bands make about 10 per cent
of the gat e which usually
amounts to around $20.
"We play pretty much all
over, even played at the Evergreen Inn once. Don't much
like playing here, the money
isn't too good and no one can
hear you with all the skates
roaring around and t hings ...
In order of preference I think
we like playing dance bars
best, then maybe taverns,
sleeping places, and here. No,
really though, when you don't
have a job somewhere else
and it's Friday night, this isn't
such a bad place to play."
Band s don't play every
weekend night at Skatelaod,
and when they don't play,
there are records, mostly
current top 40. "We started
having bands regularly about
three and a half years ago .. . "
says Bob Hemphill. ". . .it's
a little more frenetic when the
bands play ... " that and the
skaters seem to skate a little
faster, some even in time to
the music . Dancing on wheels.
There is a small group of
maybe 20 or so people gathered around the bandstand
watching. Most of them are
females •. 12 to 16, maybe a
little older. No one dances, it's
not easy to dance on skates
and Skateland doesn't have
any classes in it either. Most

people just talk and hang out,
making the scene.
Another scene gathers
around the checkstand. Be·
hind the counter, checkst and
girls, some with braces , skate
up and down putting away
and retrieving coats, purses
and other assorted valuables.
No tips are ever offered and
none are expected - after all
this isn't the Jacaran da.
Seated on the counter are several watchers , there also to
make the scene, and also with
skates on. Everyone at Skateland has skates on, they come
with the price of admission, so
why not? Every so often a
watcher will jump down from
the counter for a circuit or
two around the track, usually
with no small degree of flair.
One of the watchers is
Diane who is 16, very tall and
skinny and on occasion a
speed skater. She used to
work at Skateland until she
was fired for smoking on the
job. Smoking isn't allowed
there for anyone. She also
took speed skating classes.
"I've got long legs and they're
powerful so that I can skate
fast ."
Diane isn't skating in the
race at Skateland tonight because she left her own skates
at home and the ones she has
there slow her down . "Next
year in the summer I'm going
to go to roller derby school in
Vancouver, B.C. I've always
loved derby and I may look
sort of sera wny but I'm
tough ." Diane would also, if
asked to choose, .rather break
a bone or two in roller derby
than get a floor burn in speed
skating. "Burns hurt more
and they leave scars; a broken
bone just heals and hurts for a
little."

People on skates (part 2)

Mayhem on a banked curve
by Eric L. Stone
Mike and Sherry Fuson are
skaters, professional roller
skaters. They skate the derby
and apparently get roughed
up a lot. In four months of
skating Mike has sustained
three concussions.
"It's good to have somone to
be bruised with." Mike and
Sherry are often enough
bruised together. Before he
was a skater Mike was a construction worker. He likes
skating better, "The hours
are better, I get to travel
around a lot and mostly it's
fun."
Sherry likes it for the same
reasons. She used to be a barmaid and a secretary. "Skating is a lot like being a barmaid, only you don't have to
spend your whole shift
trapped behind a bar." In Tacoma they're skating with
either the Portland Hawks or
the Seattle Wolverines, they
don't seem to be sure, but it
also doesn't seem to matter.
Roller derby is not unlike
football with less rules, or
hockey with less rules, or
demolition derby with only
slightly less horsepower. Cowboys and Indians on hardened
porcelain wheels on a polished ·
wood floor. Good skaters have
been known to attain speeds
of 40 to 45 miles per hour. A
well-placed elbow in the ribs
or the face are common
enough to not cause anyone
any particular excitement on
the track.
This particular combination
of speed and violence claims
to be the "fastest growing
sport in the nation." The fact
that on several occasions
roller derby has filled stadiums with capacity crowds of
35,000 or more people lends
credence to the claim. Derby
is, however, by no means arecent phenomenon.
The 1930's were desperate

times and they spawned despera te amusemen t s . Dance
mar at hons were one , roller
derby was another. Roller
derby as we know it today
was invented in 1933. A desperation sport ing event in a
destitute year. How far removed from the fattened faces
of the Tacoma derby crowd of
today were the hunger vacant
eyes of the t hirt ies watching
so meo ne e lse ge t k icked
around for a change .
In a black uniform, skating
for P ortland, number 79 has
the look of desperation about
him. He ' s old, t he oldest
member of the team and the
team captain . He has the look
of someone who is just holding
on . Year afte r year, he holds
on. Maybe his desperation is a
part of the act , but just maybe
he's been told too many times
by those around him t hat he's
"getting t oo old for this
business ." The crowd yells at
him constantly, he is villain
num ber 1, "Hey old man , getting too rough for you out
there!"
His r uffled, t hinned and
graying hair is sopping wet
wit h sweat , as is t he rest of
him . He looks like he's just

this side of having had too ·
much. "Old soldiers never die,
they just fade away." Is number 79 of t he sweat-drenched
brow, t he glossy almost
empty eyes, t he middle age
paunch, is he abo ut to pull a
fade away? No doubt he was
once a great , "I coulda been a

no dou bt so could num ber 79.
Now he is mostly a sponge for

Not yet even punch drunk,

Way ne Brown who is keeping
score . Way ne skates for
Portland and has been skating
for about 14 years, only one in
derby. He started skating
when he was 18 in the army ,
and for most of his skating
t ime has been involved in
amate ur da nce a nd spee d
skating. Derby , he fi nds, is
more exciting.
He used t o work in a
fo undry and as a t ruck driver.
He's quite caught up in the
world of the derby. "It's very
rapidly growing as a sport and
getting more and more recognit ion, a lot of it due to TV. "
He env isions a time, not far
off, when roller derby box

scores will be printed in newspapers like football or baseball.
Wayne Brown broke his
ank le during a pract ice and
wants it to heal faster so he
can get back t o skating. "Most
everyone who skates derby
gets injured sooner or later,
but not very seriously. My
broken ankle is about t he
worst injury t hat I know of so
far t his year . . . a lot of
broken bones but t hat's about
all .. . no one that I know of
has ever been killed skating

At half time during the
match, with Portland leading,'
F lash Blaidon of channel 13
fame, leaps, in all his costumed and caped clownery,
onto the t rack. "Who is that
joker anyway , Capt. . . .

here." Flash Blaidon challenges a woman skater from
t he Seattle Wolverines to a
race, her on skates and him on
his fee t. She wins and he
makes a grab for a cer tain
part of her anatomy and gets
an elbow in a certain part of
his. Too bad, Flash.
The game continues after

violent hardly so much as
pauses for its st omach-clutching casualties, casting skaters
into its center like so much

Myths explode at
Rape A·wareness Workshop
by Debby Shawver
The roman tic and secret (or
nonsecret) desire t o be sensuously ravaged by a handsome outlaw is hardly comparable to the reality of rape
wh ich was brought to focus at
t he Rape Awareness Worksh_op at Evergreen last Saturday .
A panel of rape victims
related their experiences to a
crowd of over 100. The levity
orig inally s urrou ndi ng th e
workshop (What's it for? To
help you become aware if
you're being r aped?) quickly
disappeared when one woman
gave her account of being
raped twe nty years ago when
she was thi rtee n. Found lying
unconscious in a pool of blood
by her fat her, she was in a
coma for two mont hs . After it
was discovered that she was
pregnant, it took a team of
seven doctors to decide that
she was qualified for a legal
abortion. Last year , having
been left alone for some time,
she attempted suicide.
After being raped, another
woman talked to her assailant
in an attempt to "restore her
fa ith in mankind." He raped
her agai n.
The rap~ victims generally
ag r ee d th at th eir feel ings
went from shock, to resignment , to hysteria. After being
raped , they found it difficult
to relat e to men, and to remain alone for any period of
ti me.
'Felt Helpless'
Most of the victims expressed surprise at t he degree
of helplessness t hat they felt.
' Lou-Ellen Peffer, counselor at
TESC, and psychologist J im
Shaw spoke on t he conditioning of the female in t his
society and the problems t hat
arise because of this when a
woman is att acked . Women
ha ve been taught t hat men
P AGE 20

are s upposed to defend them.
Many women have the fa lse
idea that they are totally helpJess m most situations . In
many cases women do not do
what they could whe n t hey
are attacked. Expressed anger is not a commonly seen
emotion in t he rape victim. It
is usually inte rnalized in the
fo rm of guilt or shame. "What
did I do to get myself in t his
situation? Was my sweater
too tight?"
In dealing with rape one of
t he problems t hat women will
hav e to confront is the
tendency towards resignation
on their part. One purpose of
the workshop was to offer
women a wider range of alter native means of dealing with
rape .
Many victims don't report
rape for fear of being chastised by society. When one
woman on the panel started to
tell her mother that she had
been raped her mother replied , "You deserved it. "
Reporting Rape
In reporting rape to the
police, t he victim undergoes
inte nsive inter rogation . The
T hu r sto n Co un t y Deputy
P rosecuting Attorney, Richard Strophy , admitted that
the legal processing of rape
victims is inadequate. Questioning by police and the
courts is usually cold, nonsupportive, insensitive, and
often times, u n necessary.
However , Strophy stated that
in order to press charges, a
prosecutor must know every
de tail of the crime in order to
counter the defe nse in court.
Victims are questioned extensively abo ut their private sex
life, and witnesses are often
called in to testify to the
" mo ra l charact er" of t he
victi m. If t he women is of
"loose mor al character" in t he
eyes of t he court, the prosecu-

t ion has a difficult t ime convicting the rapist.
Medical proof of rape is
necessary if the case is to be
bro ug ht to t r ial. Conse que ntly, the victim , soon afte r
a shattering experience , must
consent to numerous medical
tests in order to obtain scientific proof that rape has actua lly occu rred. Dr. W ard
Miles, Chief of Staff of Olympia's Group Healt h Clinic ,
spoke on the medical aspects
of rape. He is attempting to
educate his personnel to deal
with rape victims in a more
humane and supportive manner than has been the case in
t he past. He said t hat mak ing
t his incident the most importan t day of the victim's life
was a mistake; that the victi m
must be give n the psychological support to cope wit h the
situation .
Rapist examined
Robinson W illi a ms and
Maureen Say lor, supervisors
at Western State Hospital's
Sex Offender Program, spoke
about the rapist. Williams
cri t ic ize d th e pr ac ti ce of
sending t he convicted rapist
t o st ate corrections centers.
He asked the women in t he
audience, "Are you merely
going to seek retribution? . ..
Send him to prison. He'U be
raped, raped by another male
. . . and if he is not raped
physically, he'll be raped mentally." Williams said that most
rapists who are sent to prison
rather tha n a treatme nt
center have their next victim
picked out before they are
even paroled.
Williams called puritanical
sexual culturation and the
connection of violence to masculinity t wo of the prime factors in creating a rapist.
Sayl or talked abo ut the
problems in a cu lture whe re it

has been generally accepted
that women are to be used.
She said that rapists aren't
t hat different from men in
general. They just haven't
been able to control t heir feelings as well as others.
The rapist suffers from a
total inability to experience
true human intimacy; to be _
able to commu nicate. Maureen
Saylor said that, generally
speaking, the rapist is fairly
bright, but he has a very poor
opinion of himself. He has
learned to manipulate others
in order to get what he wants.
Many rapists are loners, unable to relate well to anyone.
Many fear women or hate
them. Often the feeling of
powerlessness over their own
lives will cause them to look
for someone to overpower.
Using self-defense
The conference ended with
a discussion on self-defense. It
was emphasized, however,
that self-defense is not the answer to the problem. Most
women agreed that the alternative of staying home at
night m order to prevent
attack is highly unsatisfactory.
If self-defense becomes necessary, small objects, such as
keys , rings, lighted ciga rettes, and elbows are usable
as weapons. There have been
instances where vomiting on
the assailant has been an
efficient method of counterattack. In another case, t he
woman, when pulled to the
ground, began pulling u p
grass and eating it. It sur prised the would -be rapist so
much that he ran away.
It is difficult to determine
ahead of time what to do in
case of rape. However women
must become aware of the
possibility of rape and the
various means of dealing with
it.

O lymp ia 'fun spots' revealed
by Gary Plautz
What to do in Olympia on a
rainy day is a question that
has plagued people from time
immemorial. However, a partial answer, at least, to that
inexplicable question is offered by the authors of a new
book, What To Do In Olympii:L On A Rainy Day.
What To Do In Olympii:L On

A Rainy Day is a guide book
containing information and
opinions about Olympia and
the surrounding area. It is
styled after The Hedonist, the
guide book to the exciting life
in Seattle. The contents of the
new book include critiques of
several restaurants, taverns,
and bars in Olympia, listings
of local FM radio stations and
important local phone num-

bers, and even an analysis of
Olympia's street cruising
scene.
Among the five authors of
the book (all residents of t he
community) is Associate Academic Dean Lynn Patterson.
According to the introduction,
the inspiration for the book
came on a day all too familiar
to Olympia residents, a rainy
spring one. A lot of hard work

Mahavishnu retu rns tomorrow
by Gary Plautz

The Mahavishnu Orchestra
returns to the Paramount
Northwest tomorrow night
for a concert at 8 p.m. Tickets
are $4, $5 the day of the show
and available at the usual
Paramount outlets, the closest being the Music Bar in
Lacey.
Voted number one "rock,
pop, or blues" group in the
Downbeat Reader's Poll of
1972, Mahavishnu ·creates an
unique blend of jazz and rock,
influenced heavily by the
Eastern spiritualism of Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, the
group's guitarist and main
composer. The group has released two albums, "The
Inner Mounting Flame" and
"Birds of Fire".
McLaughlin is considered
by many to be the foremost
jazz (or rock) guitarist playing
today. An Englishman, he apprenticed with Brian Auger's
jazz-rock group in the early
60's and achieved prominence
in jazz circles while playing
with Miles Davis in the later
60's. He's released three solo

albums and recently toured
(and released an album) with
Carlos Santana.
Pianist Jan Hammer came
to the United States from
Czechoslovakia where he composed movie music and played
in a variety of bands. He
played with Sarah Vaughan
and flutist Jere my Steig before joining Mahavishnu in
May, 1971.
Chicagoan Jerry Goodman
is the most direct rock influence on the band's sound,
having played violin for the
Flock previously. He provides
a lot of Mahavishnu's texture
as well as being a dynamic
soloist.
Billy Cobham is considered
one of the most innovative
and certainly one of the
strongest drummers in jazz.
He is also a much sought-after
drummer, appearing several
times as a studio musician for
CTI Records and touring with
the McLaughlin-Santana supergroup.
Bassist Rick Laird, an Irishman, met McLaughlin in 1963
with the Brian Auger band.
Since ~hen, he has played

with Wes Montgomery, Stan
Getz, and Buddy Rich before
receiving a call from McLaughlin to join Mahavishnu.
Together, they create the
Mahavishnu sound. Their first
Seattle appearance in November of last year was an
astounding, inspired show.
The power and mood created
by their opening pieces, "The
Meetings of the Spirits" and
'·'You Know You Know," I
have never seen surpassed in
concert. Their anxiously
awaited second show in late
March was just as fine and listening to a friend's tape recording of the show confirms
this, even now.
After the good but somewhat disappointing concert
with Santana, McLaughlin
and the rest of the band will
be playing back at Paramount, a place conducive to
their sound. Their t hird
album has not been released
yet and tomorrow~s show will
probably be an advance preview of this. It should be a
concert that shouldn't be
missed.

was involved in the compilation of the manuscript but t he
response the book has received in its four weeks on_t]!e
bookstands is gratifying, said
Patterson .
" Olympia's Chamber of
Commerce is delighted with
our book," Patterson said.
"Olympia is being pushed as a
conlention center and t his
guide is valuable for visitors
to the area."
The book cost s 95 cents, or
$1 with tax. It was published
in Portland and 3,000 copies
were printed , of which approximately 500 have been
dist r ibute d t o bookstores
around Olympia. The people
involved in thebook invested
over $500 towards its publication, not including labor, and
will be content just to earn
their money back.
"We consider this book a
service and not a money-making venture, " explained Patt erson. "Financially, we have
no goals other than to make
our investments back."
There is not too much one
say in way of criticism of
t he book as t he authors themselves admit their shortcomings. In t he introduct ion, they
write that they obviously did
not include everything there
is t o say about Olympia and
stress the need for a second
edition, or, at least , a supplement to t he first. Also, they
point out t hat ~heir critiques
of local establishments are
· their own opinions and can't
or shouldn't be taken as the
final word.
"Since we finished the
book, " said Patterson, "we
have already discove·r ed a lot
more in Olympia .. For in[cont. on page 22]

stance, we say in t he section
on restaurants t hat what
Olympia needs is a good
bagel. Just the other day, I
found t hat Koehler's Bakery
in Olympia makes bagels. It is
apparent that there's quite a
bit of material available for a
second edition."
Criticisms of the b ook,
then, have to be minor. The
section on Olympia's cruising
scene seems rather out or'
place and perhaps unnecessary. But, I suppose, it is included as a kind of humorous
aside and it might succeed in
that respect. A section entitled "What To Do In Olympia When You're Really
Bored" contains 101 suggestions designed to spark the
imaginations of area people
when they're absolutely devoid of anything to do. Most of
these suggestions are kind of
empty but several, a recipe
for baking bread and community beautification projects, to
name a couple, are quite

worth while ; And, not to
nitpick, there are a few errors
of fact in t he book, one of t he
most glaring being the listing
of T acoma's KLA Y as a
Seattle radio station.
Undoubtedly, anyone could
make subjective criticisms of
the book. Some people may
say the authors were too easy
on local business establishments in t heir critiques and
may also contend the establishments weren't accurately
presented in t heir "real" light.
But, as pointed out over and
over, the opinions were only
those of the aut hors and if
someone disagrees with these
opinions, they'll just have to
write their own book.

Patterson said t hat a new
edition or a supplement to the
first is tentatively planned for
spring. Any suggestions for
future material should be sent
to "Rainy Day", 421 S. Decatur, Olympia.
