LETJ[-AS 1.9e ~EDITOR
C.H.E. rambles on
Dear Coalition for a Humane Evergreen:
After reading your letter in the CPJ I
feel some comments are necessary. First,
it is obvious that you do not understand
the COG document, if you have read it.
The Sounding Board is not and never has
been a decision-making body. Students, or
anyone else in the TESC community, can
effect decision-making through the DTF.
Decision-makers are required to respond
to DTF recommendations, but they are
NOT required to adopt these recom·
mendations. ·
If anyone is displeased with a decision
or response however, there are grievance
procedures available which have been
proven to be effective. Third party
mediation or the all-campus hearing board
are two examples. Read the COG
document!
You are violating both the COG
principles and the "humanity" of Evergreen by making decisions that affect the
community without being locatable and
accountable.
One last thing, if the deadline was such
a hardship, how did you scrape up $40 for
stamps so soon?
Ross G. Carey
PAGE4

To the Editor:
I know the subject has been getting
more than enough airing on your pages,
but I would like to give my response to
The Coalition. Seeing as how they sP.em to
be unapproachable this is the only possible
waytodoit.
Dear Coalition for a Humane Evergreen:
In your Jan. 21letter to the editor, one
of you (whoever you are) was complaining
about not getting a 'rational response' to a
'reasonable statement'. Were your phony
disenrollment letters a reasonable statement worthy of a rational response? I
don't think so.
If you were appealing to the administration, why upset students? If you wanted
student support, why didn't you put those
, stamps to good use and ask other students
for help? I'm sure you would have found
there are other people who feel your request is fair (myself included) and who
woulq lend support. Instead of enlisting
my support you threw me and many other
students into a panic. Are scare tactics
really necessary?

I've been at this school three years now
and have yet to find that a problem is
unchangeable or insoluble. I have always
found that if I wanted something changed,
I got results. It may take a bit of time but
if it's worth it, the time's worth it, right?
By the way, I noticed you had offered
some solutions to the problem in your
letter. Why didn't you use your stamps
and send these alternatives to the students in the first place? In addition, I have
yet to talk to a student who belonged (or
owned up to) your coalition. Why is this?
If you want help, ask, damn it! I won't
bite. Neither will any of the other curious
students. By not talking to others, you're
purposely alienating yourself. We're
trying to get people together, remember?
There's a saying that goes something like,
"It's_ easier to build walls than bridges".
Communication is a gap to be bridged. Try
us.

Symposium
relates
to U.S.
To the Editor:
A few folks might still be wondering
why a "Chile Symposium" is being held in
the rainy woods of Oly. Wa., USA. No
doubt, not everyone makes the connection
between the events in Chile and their own
life.
Inasmuch as we're here on this planet,
we're a part of its complex socio-economic
and cultural ecosystem; the military's
bloody takover of socialist Chile isn't as
"far away" as one might think. It was
brought to us by the same people who
bring us massacres in Vietnam, Laos,
Cambodia, Guatemala, Angola, Attica,
and Kent State; Watergate and a corporate controlled officialdom; worldwide
environmental rape, rising prices and unemployment, and an American life-situation in which few people aren't mentally
crippled and alienated from themselves,
other human beings, and the environment
in which they live. It's no secret that it
was U.S. corporate interest that horribly
ended three years of the Chilean people's
increasing control over their own lives.
The well-mannered gentlemen who own
ITT, Standard Oil N .J, GM, Chase
Manhattan Bank, and other U.S. multination $giants$ consider this a natural and
necessary act. It is this one per cent of the
US population, who own two-thirds of the
corporate stock, that controls the "free
world" economy, the U.S. government
and its "international branches", and the
planet's most powerful armed forces with
weapons spreading from horizon to
horizon. The world is theirs - resources,
technology, media, universities, and even
culture; they create the situation in which
we live and therefore set the possibilities
for our existence.
To pretend that we can "ignore" this
reality is absurd; we are a part of it and
can't separate ourselves from it. Try giving up your petrochemical Levis and clothing, coal/oil electricity, chemically-made
paperbacks, or industrially produced
sleeping bag, back-pack and bicycle. Or

attempt to leave behind your authoritarian upbringing, mind-destroying schools,
years of television insanity produced by
you-know-who, and a thousand other
crippling absurdities of your childhood.
Or realize your potentialities in the
midst of commodity-like human relationships, hierarchical roles, meaningless
work done out of survival necessity, and
"leisure months" wondering what to do
with your life in the midst of a society
defined by mass moronization rather than
the creation of oneself and the world. And
watch your children's perceptions become
structured so that they are but shadows of
themselves.
What will we do for the next 60 years of
our lives? Isolate ourselves in the country,
in our own heads, or in meaningless "trip"
after "trip" - going through life continuously asking ourselves, "Why am I doing
this? I'm getting sick of this, what whould
I do next? .. ,"
The people of Chile attempted to take
control of their lives - to create themselves and their world - to be reborn.
They were defeated by those who $control$ the planet. And what about us?
Check it out January 25 and 26.

An Appeal to the Masses:

Inferior

Despite the characterization of you a8

Editor I
With the current concern about the energy crisis and the
pressing need to consider and develop alternative forms of
transportation, it is indeed unfortunate that the right to hitchhike is being put in imminent danger. Those forces who expect
a paternalistic government to always be at hand to "protect" us
from pain and misfortune should consider what principles
separate us from our "ideological adversaries".
The issue at hand is not one of safety or crime, but one of
choice. Are people going to be able to choose whether or not
they want to accept the risk of their actions, or are they going
to let the state decide for them? We do not deny that there are
risks involved in hitchhiking, but those who contend "By
making it legal, we're telling them it is safe," are only insulting
the intelligence of their children. There are risks involved in
hitchhiking just as there are risks involved in expressing one's
opinion or walking down a flight of stairs. It is a basic civil
liberty to make the choice of taking such risks.
Hitchhiking is an important way of life for a large number of
students here at Evergreen, as well as for the many people who

'The balla:d of

Dismal Jones
by greg parkinson
It was a cold winter day. The leaves
were being broken back into the earth's
food. It was a time of keeping still and of
frozen ponds with a slow moon rising over
the trees onto the unbuffed ice.
For Dismal Jones and company it was
over an hour spent looking for an open gas
station that Sunday. The dirty beige Mercedes again made its way back onto the
freeway. The winter sun found its way
through the dried mud on the window. Off
in the distance were empty endless roadways. Like the end of an era, thought Dismal. Once the dynamic of an empire has
been stopped, its decline becomes geometric before it stabilizes.
By the time an open gas station could be
found, Dismal's head was already far to
acidic to relate well to any attendant. "Do
you feel your job has suddenly brought
the president closer to you?'' Dismal mumbled. "No," with a smile he said, "I think
he's probably farther away." They paid
him six rlollars and drove on.

fa

can't afford the luxury of private transportation and whose
needs are not served by our limited system of public transportation. Hitchhiking is perhaps the simplest way of addressing
ourselves to the idiocy of hundreds of gas-guzzling ears heading
for the same destination with only one passenger.
Law enforcement agencies have been quick to point out the
statistics relating hitchhiking to a number of crimes yet there is
no possible way to list the millions of trouble-free miles
traveled each year. Making hitchhiking illegal will not reduce
crime, but rather increase it by making a significant segment of
our population criminals.
Although hitchhiking is currently under attack in the legislature, it appears likely that the issue will be decided this
November by the voters if the emotionally-charged campaign of
Initiative 283 collects enough signatures to make the ballot.
Sad as it may seem, current public opinion indicates that it
will take a massive campaign to halt the momentum gathered
by anti-hitchhiking forces. It wiU be a test of just how much our
citizens value their rights of individual choice.

gas station. It was like driving into the
evening news as several cars desperate
for fuel slowly wandered off in search of a
fix. The attendants were unusually goodnatured. "Sorry. We're out of gas . . .
have a nice day though!"
It was raining when Dismal left to go to
the church. Working as a church janitor
had taught him the proper respect for
such buildings. It was quite a cathedral of
tomorrow with prewired ceiling dropped
microphones, intercom telephone by the
organ, and a boom microphone for the
baby grand next to it. "Comfortably
packed house," thought Dismal. The
church was filled with a comfortably chic
and fashionable white middle-class crowd.
Barry McGuire was always an impressive figure. His body has a stature so
massive that when a large twelve-string
guitar gets placed in his hands, it becomes
dwarfed.
Barry sings with all of his heart in his
logger boots, brown corduroy pants,
purple and white sweater with two unseen
eyes buried under immense lids. Dismal
marveled at the microphone techniques.
"He's just like Bill Cosby!"
Nobody knows what's going to happen.
"That's not true," said Barry. "I think I
would just flip out if it weren't for Christ .
.. for God."
"I watch the news and I see we are running out of fuel. Hallelujah! Praise the

Lord! That means we're getting closer.
We are going to be the generation that
sees Christ with their ow~ eyes."
Thoughts of great cathedrals at Lincoln
and York rippled across Dismal's brain.
The strength, the power and fury of this
man's raspy tones were directed
upward, towards heaven.
Barry never dug the blues. "They just
bummed me out. I used to listen to The
Kingston Trio."
"Psychedelics are far out! They do make
you aware. They do expand your
consciousness. You become aware of all
the pain around you. One night I flipped
out on an acid trip. I was very suicidal.
Why should I suffer all this?, I thought. I
was ready to cheek out, but a friend held
me until I came down."
The founder of the New Christy Minstrals, the writer of Green Green, and the
singer of Eve of Destruction made his
mark in history and had purchased a home
in the hills of Southern California before
giving it all up to walk· in the ways of the
Lord.
"When you're walking with the Lord,
you're never bored," said McGuire as he
concluded. "AMEN", echoed below Dismal.
"Jimi Hendrix had everything, too. He
was bored with life, bored to tears. So he
died on drugs. I became bored with life
also, so I turned to God. "Oh god" thought
Dismal.

Sticky fingers . abu~e trust
by Dick Nichols
Back in the planning years 1968 through 1971, the group of
people responsible for putting Evergreen together spent a lot
of time discussing what kind of place this new alternative college should become. Among the hundreds of items discussed
was the serious question of campus security. A minority argued
that security measures ought to be implemented to prevent
thefts of both personal and college property. The majority
argued - and won - that Evergreen should try another approach, that of a system built on trust, openness and easy accessibility to facilit~s. equipment, and materials. The belief
was that if people know they don't have to steal because they
are trusted they won't steal.
And, so it is, that all kinds of expensive items - library
materials, laboratory materials, etc. - have been made easily
available to everyone. You don't have to get a key, fill out special forms, and be accompanied by a security agent to utilize the
broad array of resources - records, tape cassettes, film strips,
art prints- that distinguish Evergreen's library from a merely
print-oriented facility. You can easily get your hands on laboratory equipment and materials. Cafeteria dishes and silverware
aren't chained to tables or dispensed, one to a customer, from
behind a counter. You don't get frisked or subjected to electronic surveillance when you leave buildings.
Well, after a couple of pretty mild years, we're . now
encountering an increasingly serious problem of campus theft.
Were we naive, as the minority insisted three, four, five years
ago, when we declared that trust would prevent security problems of the proportions now visible?
Losses of dishes and silverware in the food services area have
reached staggering proportions, amounting to several thousand
dollars. Tape cassettes and other materials are disappearing
with alarming frequency from the library. Laboratory gear is
missing. Personal thefts have sharply increased in the Residence Halls. An unregulated Xerox machine in the library
building was "taken" for 2,500 copies in one day. Purse thefts
have been reported.
In short, the sticky-fingered set, which we assume to be a
very small minority of those at Evergreen, is rolling along in
high gear. We can search for answers •to why this is happening.
We can debate sociological issues. We can ponder whether the
thefts relate to alienation caused by the fact the institution has
grown and feelings of intimacy are not as strong as they were
when we were numerically smaller. We can, and will, do that,
but in the process we'd better face up to the fact that we have a
problem that can't be solved by rehashing all of our behavioral
theories.

How do we solve it? By reason and appeals to our better instincts, we hope. Maybe if people understand who's really
getting ripped off, they'll stop this nonsense and make it unnecessary for Evergreen to resort to the kinds of security
JTieasures that characterize airline terminals, banks, prisons,
and many other institutions. But, believe it, the day of tightened regulations and strong security measures will approach in
direct proportion to the increase in our crime rate. And, it is a
crime rate!
Now, who's getting ripped off? An impersonal bureaucracy,
the establishment, or THEM? Nope. We are; all of us - students, faculty, staff, and yes, taxpayers. If thefts continue from
food s()rvices, the meal costs will rise to cover replacement expenses. If library and laboratory thefts continue, money will
have to be diverted from other parts of those budgets to replace
the missing items, and that will have a direct negat'ive effect on
other services because you can't spend the same dollars twice.
If we have to install security gadgets and hire more personnel
to patrol campus buildings, we'll be diverting even more
precious money and diminishing even more services. Those are
just hard, cold facts of economic life.
But, the real tragedy won't be measured in dollars. It will be
measured in terms of the innocent people who become subjected to security measures they don't deserve. Saddest of all,
however, will be the tacit admission that by tightening up the
campus, we're surrendering much of our trust in each other. If
and when that happens, we'll have collectively taken a large
leap backwards. That price, in my view, is exorbitant. If you
have been ripping off me and my Evergreen colleagues, how
about knocking it off? If you know someone who has our trust,
how about telling him or her to cool it? If that doesn't work,
how about a citizen's arrest or, at the least, a report to college
officials so that the thief can be put out of business? Distasteful?
Certainly, but so is the rip-off and all it stands for. The fundamental question is simply this:
"Do YOU care enough to do something or will you just sit
there with your eyes closed as darkness falls?"

Nuclear reactors: Part oile

' energy
The de.a d mans
by Dean Katz
"A star is a planet on which there was
intelligent life that began experimenting
with atomic energy." - Alan Watts
SATSOP,
WASHINGTON
Evacuation operations in a 50-mile
section of Southwestern Washington
began early today as a result of last
night's tragic accident at the Satsop No. 3
nuclear plant near the state capitol of
Olympia, 70 miles south of Seattle.
A
National
Guard
evacuation
operation, the result of a ruptured line in
the nuclear plants core cooling system,
will save many lives, but as many as
45,000 people are expected to die in the
next few weeks from exposure to
radiation. Thousands more will suffer
permanent effects from what the director
of the regional Nuclear Energy Office
termed, "a tragic misjudgment in human
planning" of the plant's cooling system.
The President has officially declared a
50-mile section of Washington a disaster
area, and has ordered all roads into a
three-county area blocked off. Officials
estimate that no persons will be able to
enter the area for a period of 25 to 50
years.
All local residents fortunate enough to
have been away during the plant
breakdown
have been
temporarily
relocated with families in the Northwest,
until housing and jobs can be found for
them.
Insurance companies have said they
will not pay damages on any homeowners
policies for persons evacuated from the
area, and the federal government's
preliminary estimates on reimbursement
rates to displaced Washingtonian's, sets
payment for damages at between three
and five cents on the dollar.
.
The Governor termed the accident a
"nightmarish holocaust," and declared an
immediate moratorium on construction
of six other nuclear plants currently being
built in Washington.
Hospitals in II Western states have
been mobilized for emergency service,
and thousands of doctors and medical
students from throughout the U.S. and

page 8

Canada are arriving to assist in whatever
way they can ....
Real? ... No. Possible? ... Yes.
The "real" figures on what would
happen to an average density area of the
U.S. as the result of a nuclear power plant
accident are frighteningly similar to those
in the "scare story" above.
The Atomic Energy Commission, in a
nine-year old study ( 1965), concluded
that an "average" nuclear plant accident
could result in the death of 45,000
persons from radiation exposure and an
additional I 00,000 persons could be
seriously injured, with potential property
damage of $280 billion.
John Gofman, a former AEC scientist,
says the AEC estimates are way too low.
He figures that five million deaths and
five million more injuries could result
from a single nuclear power plant
accident. The truth is, no one really
knows.
A BRIEF BACKGROUND
While much attention is currently
being directed towards oil companies,
Wall Street, and Detroit, another
well-greased and quiet cog in the energy
wheel has been turning.
A number of large utility companies
and energy conglomerates in the U.S.
have begun to move towards construction
of nuclear
power
plants
as
an
economically feasible means of supply
America's immediate er.t'•·gy needs.
Already, there are 39 operable nuclear
plants in the U.S. (13 of which are
shut-down because of malfunctions), and
construction of some 800 more "nuke"
plants are projected within the next 25
years.
That's an average of at least 16 plants
per state by the year 2000. Washington is
well in the lead, considering the
enormous Hanford reactor now in
operation at Richland, east of the
mountains. The Washington Public Power
Supply System, a "co-op" consisting of
107 public and private utility companies
in the Northwest, has plans for an
additional seven nuclear plants in the
state by 1985.

THE POLITICAL ECONOMICS
There is no denying the need for
alternative energy source development in
the U.S. Aside from keeping houses warm
and cars running, energy also maintains
this country's economic system .
Utility
companies
have
already
invested millions of dollars in operating
plants and commerical planning for the
future. With good reason. they are not
planning to lose their money. The
political pressure on government to allow
for the development of new plants is
tremendous.
A recent article in the "Progressive"
put it well, when it said fission energy
"was heralded as an energy panacea after
World War II, and now has an entire
federal agency - the AEC - as its chief
lobbyist, and the powerful backing of the
utility industry .
The Hanford plant in Richland
employs 7,000 people . WhJle Hanford is
larger than most nuclear ope rat ions, it's
not hard to see why nuclear plants are
Sirens of Titan for employment and
revenue hungry cJttes in the U.S.
Richland orobahly has dost: to one-third
of its economic bast' dependent on
nuclear energy.
A commerical power company is nut
likely •to get its construction permit for a
new "nuke" plant, unless 11 offers to
provide a substantial tax base for the
community.
In return for the new jobs and new
schools, new city halls, low income
housing, and improved roads, the nuclear
developers provide. Nuclear cities deed
their land, theit environment, and
possibly their lives to nuclear energy
.production
HOW AN N-PLANT WORKS
The heart of a nuclear reactor is its
core, which is composed of long, thin
rods filled with pellets of uranium fuel.
Control rods move in and out of the core
to help maintain the desired power level.
The fuel rods become hot during reactor
operation, with water pumped around the
rods and back again in an enclosed loop.
The steam created is drawn off this loop

ource: nuclear power
and delivered to turn the turbines, which
in turn drives the electrical generators.
After passing through the turbine, the
steam is cooled by water from a lake or
river. More than twice as much heat is
dumped into the body of water as it is
turned into useful electricity, although
cooling towers are coming into wider use
now as a means of transferring the heat to
the atmosphere.
ABOUT FUELS
The source of fu el to run nuclear
reactors is uranium-235 . Estimates are
that the U.S. will run out of economically
useable uranium 23 5 in 30 to 60 years.
The Public Helath Serice figures that 20
percent of all uranium - miners who
worked in the mines be gore I 971 (when
the Environmental Protection Agency
strengthened protective standards). will
die of lung cancer from accumulation of
radioactive gasses from the mines.
President Nixon has committed $2
billion to a crash program for of the
liquid metal fast-breeder reactor LMBFR
can produce its own fuel supply eternally
by "breeding" plutonium 23 9 from
uranium 238 .
On the surface , then, the finite supply
of uranium does not appear to cause a
problem. Fast-breeder reactors, howerver
are much more dangerous that convential
nuclear reactors.
Plutonium is one of the most toxic
substan~.:es
known
to
man. One
tablespoon of plutonium-239 represents
the official "maximum" permissable
body burdan " for 200 million people.
For the individual, one-millionth of a
gram is all that is necessary for a fatal
dose.
Even more troublesome is the fact that
plutonium has a life of at least 50,000
years. In other words, one accident with
plutonium-239, however insignificant,
wuld alter the course of humankind
forever.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Another problem
facing nuclear
developers is how to get the radioactive
"garbage" from point A to point B, and,
once it gets there, what to do with it.

The AEC estimates that by year 2000,
there will necessarily be 112,000
shipments each year of radioactive
reactor fuel and waste. AEC figures one
accident per million miles of travel. . On
that basis, with a total traveled mileage
estimate of 90 million miles a year, there
will be an average of one nuclear
transport accident every four days.
The AEC also estimates the chances of
a core-cooling breakdown at one in a
thousand. By the year 2000, there should
be almost one breakdown per year for the
next 800 to I 000 nuclear plants
anticipated to be in existence by that
time.

As eveidenced by the leakage of over
115,000 gallons of radioactive material at
Hanford plant last June, storage facilities
do not yet appear to be fool-proof.
Although the AEC says the Hanford
leak was due primarily to the managerial
laxity and human error of the plants
commercial
contractor,
Atlantic
Richfield, one wonders what the AEC is
doing about avoiding future leakages of
radioactive wastes.
An article in the August 24, 1973 issue
of "Science Magazine" points out that
CONTINUED ON

NEXT PAGE
page 9

"from 1953 to 1971,privateconsultants,
the U.S. Geological Survey, and the
General Accounting Office all had warned
the AEC that it was courting trouble by its
continuing reliance on the technology of
the 1940's to store the nuclear wastes of
the 60's and 70's."
The article, written by Robert Gilette,
also wonders outloud whether the AEC is
"really prepared to manage thousands of
pounds of wastes that civilian nuclear
power plants will be generating in the
years ahead. And how, exactly, could it
(the AEC) lose the equivilent of a railroad
tank car full of radioactive liquid hot
enough to boil itself for years on end, and
knock a Geiger counter off scale at a
hundred paces?''
In the past IS years, the Hanford plant
· has lost 422,000 gallons of radioactive
;.· material to the soil from leaks in at least
1 5 different storage tanks.
Clarence
Larson,
an
AEC
commissioner, says he is "distressed at
implications that large masses of people
are
endangered."
He
notes that
radioactivity in the Columbia River,
downstream from Hanford, is less than
half that present naturally in the Potomac
River.
The AEC insists no leakage from
Hanford has reached groundwater level
yet, and even if it did, radioactivity in the
Columbia would still remain within
drinking water standards.
While the AEC may in fact be correct
' about the radiation levels, etc., what the
leakages point up is the fact that
accidents are inevitable, and will indeed
occur.
CANCER AND THE NUKES

James Schlesinger, former chairman of
the AEC, said in Nov. 1972, that "future
nuclear power plants are likely to be the
sources of some additional thousands of
cancer cases."
A recent study by a local branch of the
Cancer
Society
in
Pennsylvania
substantiated the hypothesis that the
concer mortality rate rose sharply in a
community closest to a nuclear plant.
The lung cancer mortality rate rose
six-fold in Midland, Pa. in an ll year
nr. period, from 1958 to 1969. The rate of
~ .-sr·.-respiratory cancer in Midland is three
; • :.o • times the highest rate ever observed in
=J.,, polluted New York City.
Infant mortality in Midland rose
seven-fold between I 958 to 1960, from
14 to <>8. 9 per 1000 births. That two year
page 10

period was when the largest amounts of
liquid radioactive wastes were officially
reported to have bebn fllicharged into the
Ohio River, one ~il-. upstream frQm
Midland's water inkakes.
Fortunately for the AEC, no direct
proof of any radioactive related deaths
has yet been found (with the exception
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki).
(Ed Note - For those of you who
finished this artiCle, you will probably be
interested in 'the second half of this series
on nuclear e."'ergy to be presented in next
week's CPJ. The second part will deal
with a propose'd lt¥ciear plant at Satsop,
25 miles southwest of O!ympia, and a
brief preview of possible alternative
energy sources that can be used instead of
nuclear energy. With rhe proposed Satsop
plant and the sOOii·to·be-built nuclear
submarine base at Bangor. the scenic
Pacific Northwest may become a little
less than scenic in the future. It bears
watching, ar least.·

Info Center aids campus
by Ned Swift

This article js designed to acquaint
members of the Evergreen community
and the public with the general purposes
and specific duties of the college Information Center. Persons with additional questions or concerns about the Information
Center should contact Ned Swift, Information Center Coordinator (866-6300), or
Dick Nichols, Office of College Relations
(866-6128).
The origia of the laformation Center
The Information Center plays a major
role in the governance of The Evergreen
State College. In fact, the Information
Center is charged by the governance document of the college to provide certain
services:
"The Center will work closely with
the scheduling desk, Office of College
Relations, the campus newspaper,
and KAOS radio to collect and disseminate information about the
broadest possible range of activities
within the Evergreen community.
The Information Center should
publish the college calendar of events;
maintain a large master calendar on
which additions to or changes in
schedules may be· made; maintain a
number of special announcement
bulletin boards, both at the Center
and around the school; maintain and
make available the Voluntary Service
List.
The Information Center should also
have on file college publications, Disappearing Task Force records, and
minutes of meetings."
The Information Center is administered
by the Office of College Relations which
carries broad responsibilities for internal
communications, community relations,
institutional publications, and external information services.
..,_,naibDitiea of the laformation Center
The Information Center is directly responsible for four major duties: (a) The
collection of information about Evergreen
.,... past, present and future - to be stored
and available at the Center, including
DTF records and the Volunteer Service
List; (b) The collection of information
pa~e 12

about campus activities and events for distribution to the Cooper Point Journal,
KAOS and the "Happenings" publication;
and for placement on the Center's Master
Calendar Board; (c) The maintenance of
bulletin boards, which are kept current by
the Information Center staff and are available to community members for posting of
many kinds of information; (d) Dissemination of information over the telephone and
over the counter. (Information Center
personnel are not necessarily know it ails,
but when they, don't know something,
they are responsible for referring the inquirers to the most likely sources of the
information sought.)
The Information Center also: (a) Operates a Lost and Found collection point
(items are sent to Security office after
three days); (b) Collects Sounding Board
agenda items; (c) Serves as a collection
center for petitions, opinion polls, etc.; (d)
Offers voter registrar services; (e) Displays a college organization chart (who's
accountable to whom, all the way to the
top).
In order to coUect information, the Center needs to receive information. This
rather simple statement is the key to understanding the way the Center works.
As now staffed and maintained (with one
part-time student coordinator and three ·
part-time student staff members), the
Center cannot constantly scout the college
for information although it must be as
active as possible. For this reason, the
Information Center has to largely rely on
collecting information through the mails,
over lhe telephone or from personal visits.
Information received is then channeled in
as many ways as possible (Newsletter,
KAOS, Cooper Point Journal, Bulletin
Board, etc.) to assure maximum visibility
to the Evergreen community.
The Information Center keeps records
of all meetings at Evergreen, especially
those of the Board of Trustees, DTF's,
Sounding Board, Visual Environment
Board, Services and Activities Fee Review Board and the Publications Board.
All news of these meetings is posted
and/or references to special bound notebooks inside the Information Center so
that anyone may have &<'cess to available

details about any given DTF or ongoing
board activities. When material becomes
outdated - for instance when a DTF finishes its task - all pertinent information
is placed in journals at the Center. At the
end of each quarter, such material then is
placed in the file cabinets and is still available for scrutiny.
The Information Center collects announcements about a wide variety of
campus happenings - everything from
dances to governance meetings. Center
staff routinely channel this kind of information to appropriate parts of the campus
communications system - Items for "Happenings" must be received not later than
5:00p.m. on Wednesday to allow time for
sorting, typing, printing, and distribution
on Friday mornings.
The Information Center maintains a set
of bulletin boards next to the Information
Center Kiosk. Five main boards should be
discussed further: (1) The Today Board
lists events happening "today" only. (2)
The Tomorrow Board lists events happening 1'tomorrow" only. (3) DTF Board contains forms which provide basic information about the existence and progress of
Disappearing Task Forces. Times and
dates of DTF meetings also are listed on
the Today and Tomorrow Boards, on the
Master Calendar, and referred to the
"Happenings", Newsletter, KAOS, and
Cooper Point Journal. (4) Hot Stuff Board
lists only "Hot Stufr' - major items of
immediate importance. (5) Master Calendar lists day-by-day events scheduled on
campus for any given six-week time
period. Persons using the Master Calendar need only look at the type listings
under the appropriate date to find out
when current or future activities will
occur.
The Information Center is an integral but not the only - part of a campus communications system. The Center is a centralized place to take information that requires attention. The Center is a centralized place to go when any community
member wants information about various
college activities, would like phone numbers of students, staff, and faculty, or
wants to know whom to ask for answers to
questions.

Don't shoot, we're Yan.k s

Pentagon soft-sell

hard
by Brian Murphy
Some people say that Nixon has been
seeking revenge on Was~ington ever
since 1968 when it was the only state west
of the Mississippi to vote against him in
the election. But things are beginning to
get ridiculous.
In the winters of 1974-75 and '75-6, the
Pentagon will be running tests of the
Minuteman II Launching System in a program labeled "Giant Patriot". The missiles
would be launched from Malmstrom
A.F.B. in Montana, located approximately
50 miles north of Great Falls and would
travel over Montana, Idaho, the corner of
Washington (dangerously close to Clarkston and even closer toW alla Walla), south
of Eugene, Oregon (through the center of
the state), out over the northwest corner
of California and into the South Pacific.
Recently, the Pentagon came to Olympia to explain to Gov. Daniel J. Evans just
why they were going to do this and, most
particularly, why here. .
After an "exhaustive study", the Pentagon's public relations man said, this
course was chosen because it was the least
populated of the courses available. And
that was why this route was selected.
But why run the test at all? Simple. We
have to maintain our "deterrent role" and
this is a program we~ve yet to test.
The man -doing the talking while the
slides were being shown was Capt. Ken
Kissell, a young, energetic and good-looking man. With the style and charm he had,
he could probably resurrect Edsels and
make them sell.
One reporter tried to throw a curve at
the captain. He asked "H we didn't run the
test, would there be some sort of test gap
with the Russians?" Kissell took it in good
nature, laughing along with the rest of the
crowd and then replied "Well, the
Russians have completed about 100 of
these tests according to the figures we
have, and we haven't fully completed even
one.
Of course, the need is now obvious the Russians are ahead of us. And if the)
don't get us, the Pental!'on will.

.

to. buy

The test is not without its dangers.
There will not be nuclear warheads on the
missiles, but, rather, test-heads with destruction devices in case of a mishap. But,
if destruction is deemed necessary inside
of 102 seconds from firing, the pieces will
fall on the land. After the 102 second
point, the trajectory should carry the destroyed missile into the ocean.
Yet, even a successful launch has its
problems. The first stage of the 55-foot
missile will burn out and fall back to
Earth, as will the second, both in the
woods of Idaho. The Pentagon said they

believed it would even likely fall on federal land. The first stage of the missile is
28 feet long and weighs 4,800 pounds. One
would be well advised to cancel any camping trips in Idaho next winter.
The Pentagon plans to evacuate any
people in possible danger, all expenses
paid. They even say if certain courses are
selected, Washington may be bypassed
altogether. But even so, are these tests
really necessary? Especially at a cost of
$27 million?
I don't think so.

Hitching endangered
"You might say the girl was an isolated
case, but a mother lost a daughter and a
sister lost a sister," said Senator Reuben
Knoblauch (D-Sumner) referring to the
hitchhike murder and rape of 14-year-old
Kathy Merry Devine.
An overflowing committee room of
concerned citizens, (mainly students)
listened to an emotion-filled hearing on
hitchhiking in the State Senate Judiciary
Committee. The meeting, held Jan. 21,
opened with statements ~y the senators
who are presently pushing for the hitching
repeal.
Knoblauch, the kick-off speaker,
appealed to the emotions of the listeners
by relating the tales of hitchhiking-assodated crimes, including two or three rape
murders and remindiftg observers of the
Houston murders of 20 to 30 boys who
were allegedly picked up while hitching.
Senator Ted Peterson (R-Seattle), and
A. L. "Slim" Raltmussen (D-Tacoma),
sponsors of anti-hitching bills, added their
feelings toward the thumbing crimes as
did a representative from the State
Patrol. However, the State Patrol was not
recommending a complete repeal but
proposed an age limit, prohibiting
hitching after dark and imposing heavy
fines on drivers leaving travelers in illegal
zones.
Mrs. tJevme, mother of the murdered

girl, and her daughter, Sherrie, testified,
pleading for the repeal to protect the
many who don't know the "dangers of
hitchhiking." The pain of her sister's fate
was strong in Sherrie's voice as she
expressed herself to the committee.
But, despite the powerful appeal of the
Devine's, the majority of speakers
opposed the repeal.
Jenny Crow, a representative of
Relief, told the committee her organization felt the repeal was not the way to
avert crimes.
"Women have been protected into the
home and out of many challenges like
hitchhiking," she said. "It's time women
were taught to defend themselves."
Loss of liberty, lack of mQney, and lack
of fuel were among the many arguments
presented in defense of hitching. Even the
bill itself was used denounce the repeal.
The language in the measure is so smtt
that a person could not legally: pick up a
friend or relative if they gave any sort of
indication they wanted a ride, seek a ride
if your car broke down and you require
help, or even use a ride-board such as the
one's posted around school.
The bill will face a vote in committee in
the next few days. It is not expected to
pass. The battle will be carried on by an
initative being pushed by the Devine's.

Art review:

Photo exllitli.t portrays
•
un1que wedding
.•"

by Susan Christian

Hello again. Week before last I wrote
some words about Bert Garner's palm
trees. I heard: "The review was harsh;"
"The review was inarticulate (though
Honest):" "I didn't like what it said but I
liked reading it;" "I didn't understand
what it said but I liked reading it;" "Not
enough History." This week I'm going to
write about Don Heiny's photographs, in
the library through Feb. 2. I know next to
nothing about photographs. So I will not
talk about them formally, since I'm
unfamiliar with the problems of the craft;
I'll just talk about what the pictures are
of: about content.
One set of photographs I have seen is
the Diane Arbus photographs that were at
the Museum of Modern Art last winter. If
you want to know about Diane Arbus, go
look ~er up in the Art Index. It's a refer,
ence book in the library, and it will tell
you what periodicals carried what articles
about whom, back into the beginnings of
art magazines in this country - far back
enough that you can find out what's been
written about Diane Arbus. Also the library probably has her catalogue from the
MOMA show. Much aesthetic controversy
rages about Diane Arbus' ethics. I have
heard her called a criminal.·
She used to go around looking for
freaks. Then she would ask them directly
and politely if it would be okay with them
if she took their picture. They would say
sure, and look into the eye of the camera.
She would go off exhausted, and sooner or
later she would do it again. The freaks she
took pictures of were sometimes obvious
freaks like dwarfs and mongoloids and
giants and midgets and transvestites.
Yes, I said that. Others were not so
obvious freaks like people at parades, and
women with makeup on, and women
without makeup on, and angry children in
parks. There was not a lot of difference
between the obvious freaks and the not so
obvious freaks by the time Diane Arbus
got through with them.

'

Don Heiny exhibits her~ 40 pictures of
"the people apd a Qlarriage in a work
center for the mentally retarded." They
are all pictures of. the same group of
people, with a concentrated series
centering around the w~dding and the relationship of Robert Bell, a guy with a
difficult body, and Barbara, ~hose maiden
name is never given, ~nd who is presumably "mentally retarded" as is Robert.
Barbara is nice to look at. The startling
thing is that Robert is nice to look at as
well; he seems to be a nice fellow. His
body is clearly a burden: it's not an easy
body. Barbara's body is fine.
Barbara and Robert g~t married and
settled down. There's a titillating undertone to their wedding and domestic life
that is instantly demolished by the way
they look. They look very happy, and very
dignified. They look like they're taking
care of business. Barbara continues to eat
her wedding lunch off of a paper plate as a
friend leans over, ass to the camera, to
kiss the bride. Robert smiles kindly at his
guests throughout the c~lebration. There
are other pictures of them on other days,
when they are not so radiant; they look
like they're in love. Robert has a terrific
face. I wish I knew him, and it isn't all
curiosity. It's attraction.
The people around R and B at their
wedding are happy too. Two of my favorite pictures are the OQe on the announcement for the show, Julie the maid of
honor, ecstatic; and m~ther of Julie and a
friend named Diane sharing sniffs of a ,
rosebud. Diane looks happy in a way that I
have only seen cats look happy: utterly.
And cats can't smile, so Diane looks that
way even better- but in that way.
There are, besides the wedding. series,
a lot of single port~aits, double portraits
too, of people at the work center, on less
explicit occasions than weddings. But they
are the same kind of pictures; people
living a difficult life and taking enormous
joy from it. I can't tell how much of this is
that the people are special, and how much
of it is that the artist is special. I guess
probably both.

My first walk-through of the show made
me nervous and worried, my second made
me embarrassed and pleased. I guess that
having enough pictures of the insides of
these people's selves helped me to stop
worrying so much about the effect that
their outsides had on me. After three
viewing I feel not afraid of freaks. Eh,
freaks? I never saw more than one
moment in a freak's life before. Seeing a
series of moments makes it possible to
look at life with them instead of - staring
at them. Thanks.

Vasectomy
clinic
pla_nned
The Olympia YMCA and the Olympia
Family Planning Association will co-sponsor a Vasectomy Information Clinic this
coming Wednesday, Jan. 30. The meeting
is open to the public and will begin at 7:30
p.m. in the YMCA, 510 S. Franklin.
Vasectomy is a simple surgical procedure, usually performed in a doctor's office, for male sterilization. Couples who
have completed their desired family size
are especially invited to attend.
The meeting will be informational only
and will open with a short, graphic film
entitled Vasectomy. The movie uses diagrams to explain how the procedure is
done. There will be a discussion period
and Dr. Mark Trucksess of Shelton will be
available to answer specific questions.
Also present to respond to questions will
be couples who have chosen vasectomy as
the means of limiting their family size.
Ms. Susie Hubbard is coordinating the
meeting. For additional information,
please call the YMCA at 357-6609.
