Non-white Report Explored
The non-white disappearing task force
(DTF) report, made public by Provost Ed
Kormondy on June 16, 1974, has been the
cause of much alarm ever since its release.
The report outlines what the college can
do to attract non-white students and faculty, and is the beginning of the process
of turning the Affirmative Action goals
approved by the Board of Trustees into
an institutional reality.
According to Thomas Ybarra, head of
the Non-White Coalition, the DTF started
at the beginning of Spring Quarter when
Kormondy continually vetoed the Coalition's suggestions for ways to recruit students.

Among the sections of the report which
have drawn the most fire are suggestions
that:
-- all vacancies in employment in the
next two years be filled with non-white or
women personnel.
-- a representative of each non-white
ethnic group be on the Services and Activities Fees Review Board and that the
board be given discretionary control over
the entire quarter million dollar S&A
budget, rather than only one-fourth of it.
-- the bookstore establish a line of
credit on books for non-whites.
-- Health Services hire a full time
doctor.

-- the Non-White Coalition be given
full funding as they requested.
Many people have also criticized the report for being extremely abrupt, and, as
one faculty member said. "insulting in its
tone."

'

Kormondy, who 1s now on vacation in
the South American country of Venezuela,
stated that the report would be fully discussed in the fall, before implementing
any sections of it, with the exception of
some which might be implemented during

The queen
You've all seen this scene before: a
pretty girl in a long gown, her hair piled
on top of her head, walks down to the
platform and is asked an inane question
by some fat old men who sit as judges.
Nervously she thinks, pauses and finally
comes up with a sugar-coated answer. Everyone applauds. The scene is repeated
over and over until each girl has had her
turn. Then, as a hushed audience waits
breathlessly, the judges do the final tabulations. They discuss each contestant, size
her up (usually in terms relating to her
body, or, as is official jar~on, her "overall appearance") and finally, accompanied
by a drum roll or something equally melodramatic, announce the winner. The hall
explodes into applause and cheers. The
losing contestants smile bravely and rush
to hug the winner with squeals and giggles. The winner smiles equally as big and
as brave and comes forward to accept her
cloak, her bouquet, and finally, her
crown. She is dazzled by the cameras, the
crowds of well-wishers, and the excitement. When it is all over, she settles
down for a fun-filled year as a Queen.
On July 12th, the dreams of every little
girl were realized in Linda Faaren as she
was crowned Lakefair Queen. Linda was
born 18 years ago, when the first young
girl was to be seen walking down the
same floating dock with the other princesses towards the judges and the crown.
"Well, you kinda wish one day it will be
you," said Linda, "I always went to Lakefair, but it was such a long way off."
Beauty queens are all of the same cast:
sweet, cheerful, pretty, helpful. concerned,
kind to animals and small children.
They're contemporary enough to know
about issues, but old-fashioned enough to
make every father and mother proud.
Queen Linda is no exception. She's the
kind of girl every grandmother would
love to clothe in frilly dresses and patent
leather pumps. They get paraded before
hundreds of eyes, asked irrelevant questions, and just generally made nervous.
Linda drew a slightly more interesting
question from the judges, "If you were a
July 18, 1974

member ot the press and you got the opportunity to interview Patty Hearst what
two questions would you ask her first and
why?"
"First of all," she replied, "I wo.uld ask
if she was Patty Hearst. There have been
so many pictures and speculation on who
and where she is, I would have to find
out if it really was her. Then I would ask
her why she did what she did and try to
find out the reasons. I think we could all
benefit from her answer.
"All night before I was trying to think
of all the possible questions they could
ask me like, 'if you were the first woman
on the moon .. .' I came up with a real
winner. The first thing I thought was, 'Oh
my gosh, I didn't think of this'," Linda remarked. "You do feel like you're being
paraded, but me and the four princesses
decided if they didn't like us the way we
are, that was too bad."
Linda "just loved" high school, and is
going on to Pacific Lutheran University
this fall to major in childhood education.
When asked what sort of things she did at
Olympia High School, she said, "Well, I
jus~ kind of eot iuvolved in a lot of diffPr-

ent areas, tried a little bit of everything. I
even played a little football." Her advice
to high school students is, "Try. Try everything."
But there is another side to Linda Faaren that she probably doesn't get much
chance to show as Lakefair Queen: her
interest in current affairs and her opinions
on current issues. When asked about Watergate she said, "I think it's kind of hard
to define. We're sloughing over the top of
things. We're talking and talking and no
action is being taken on it, when perhaps
we are overlooking a lot more than we
should, just because it's been done by
high authorities. But I think we are being
too lenient. I think if there are grounds
for impeachment, then definitely yes, it
should occur."
Queen Linda is against the legalization
of marijuana, citing it as "one more legal
evil." Unlike many people her age she has
not experimented with drugs. She fully
supports the women's movement and declares herself as "pro-abortion." When
asked her opinion on the ecology
movement she gu~ed, ''I'm all for that

Process
decried
To the Editor :
I have received and reviewed the final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS ) for
the Communications Laboratory Building .
I am dissatisfied with this EIS. The whole
p(ocess of its formulat ion . is a reflection
upon and a result of the way in which the
physical facilities at Evergreen have been
and continue to be designed and constructed. The history of campus construction evinces a spirit which runs antithetical to the philosoph y upon which the evolution of this school is based .
T o be specific, I will firs t deal with the
EIS . You (M r. Schillinger) responded only
to Richard Cellarius's letter. No attempt
was made to answer the o bjections I made

..

in m y letter, or the questions (alt hough
few) raised by various state agencies . (I
was dismayed to note that my letter was
stamped "received June 3, 1974." I personally delivered this letter to the O ffice
of Facilities at 4 :55p.m. May 31.) No alterations appear in the EIS itself, although
its incompleteness was well documented.
No statement from the Department of
Ecology was included in the EIS.
The framework for the development of
envir onmental impact statements as outlined by you in point 11 of your written
response to Richard Cellarius can . only
through happy coincidence provide for
the promulgation of comprehensive environmental impact statements. Environmen tal impact statements need to be developed by an interdisciplinary group of
students, faculty, and staff, possibly with
in put from outside experts. This would be
in keeping with the spirit of the law and
of Evergreen. Such a statement, to be considered comprehensive, must include complete studies of alternative sitings, full
documentation of the plants and animals
in the concerned area(s). and a total re-

view of the probable and possible short
and long term environmental impacts to
be produced . The Office of Facilities alone
is unable and perhaps unwilling to complete such a comprehensive work and is
definitely biased in any such evaluation.
But no envi ronmental impact statement
can posit ively effect the development of
facilities o n this campus if they are completed after a project design has been fully
completed and funds for the project appropriated . Also, if the Master Plan is
adhered to regardless of the concerns
w hich the college community advances
environmental impact statements will be
used onl y as excuses for develol'Tnent.
(The C ommu nications Laboratory EIS is
an example of both these cases.) Thus far
proj~cts have been designed, approved,
funded , and constructed without proper
input from the community before decisions a re made. Projects are '"sprung" on
us. In these cases environmental impact
statements and other possibly beneficial
documents can be seen o nly as concessio ns to pacify the co mmunity, not to encou rage and take accou nt of community

opinion.
The presumptuousness and unresponsiveness apparent in the administration of
• the development of facilities border on
dishonesty. For instance, I was completely
uninformed, until Richard Cellarius told
me, that there are plans to attach an auditorium to the Communications Laboratory, and that this was one reason for its
siting. But no account has been taken of
whether the community wants or needs
that auditorium. By sticking to the Master
Plan the developers have given themselves
self-serving arguments for many construction projects, while presenting the community with already decided actions.
The Communication Laboratory EIS
states :
"Alternative locations . . . considered by the Master Planning team included the site immediately adjacent
to the southwest of the proposed site
... The vegetation on the site to the
southwest is essentially the same, except more dense and visually more
appealing than the site chosen. "
What the EIS does not mention is that this
forest area will be demolished anywa1 if
the auditorium is built. In fact, even
though the auditorium is planned as an
adjoining structure to the Commqnications Laboratory, it is not mentioned once
. in this EIS .
I see the need for the Communications

L~boratory. However, this is not the

issue. The issue is the method in which
this· campus is developed . In order to prevent continuation of the past and present
development and construction policy, and
to make this process more flexible and responsive to community desires, not Master Planners' wishes, I suggest a DTF
needs to be called to look into these
issues. I would recommend a standing
committee of students, faculty , and staff
with the power to reject, alter, or postpone any proposals for the design and
funding of any physical developments at
Evergreen, particularly ones that have significant environmental impact and are no t
in accord with the wishes of the community. The street light fiasco underlines the
need for such a committee .
I have now had the chance to study the
Master Plan for Evergreen (which needs
to be out in the open for all to review). If
this Master Plan is realized, the result
would be an environmental disaster. For a
school devoted to a holistic approach to
understanding natural and world systems,
we are setting one hell of an example . The
parking lots , "green" (brick) spaces,
roads, massive and underused facilities,
beauty bark and single strands of Oregon
grape remind one of the traditional institutional facilities of traditional educational institutes. The physical structures
envisioned in it run completely antithetical to ·Evergreen's philosophy of educa-

tion, work, and life, a philosoph y dependent upo n an intimate and interdisciplinary
approach. A standi ng committee like the
one I ha ve proposed above is needed to
act as a th ough tful con trol on any fu rth er
develop ment of this Master Plan .
The ma in problem facin g Evergreen
presently is the unresponsive administrative bureaucracy. Evergreen 's ideal of a
benevolent oligarchy does not seem to be
working . The resignation of AI Rose , the
dissatisfaction of the communi,ty with the
construction of st reet lights, the misuse of
S&A funds , a nd the tokenism which can
be seen grinn ing from the Communic'i'ti ons Labora tory EIS , to mentio n a few
things, all lead me to believe that perhaps
we need a switch to a more democratic
and representative government at Evergreen. Few members of the com munit y
are involved in government decisions and
apathy a nd a sense of helplessness grow.
The bureaucracy becomes more hidden
and less responsive. Its po licies slowly eat
away at the original philosophy of Ever-.
green . In order to retai n th e philosophy of
Everg reen, perhaps we now need to
change its governme ntal structures. Alth ough this may be doing away with one
of Evergreen's ideals, that of government
through o nl y cooperation, this ideal has
failed , and a transfo rmat io n of the governmenta l structures is needed to maintain
Evergreen's more important ideals, including interdisciplinary approaches to education and life-styles, the responsiveness of
administrators to community needs, and
the commitment of staff, faculty, and students to make Evergreen work.
We need another DTF to again take a
look at our governance proced ures. A
senate composed of 50 percent faculty and
staff and 50 percent students, with broad
decision-making powers, might be appropriate .
I am deeply committed and dedicated
to the ideals of Evergreen. Evergreen is
the only institution in the country that I
know of which has produced a successful
design for alternative higher education. In
order to keep its philosophy and spirit
alive, it must con tinually re-examine itself
and objectively accept input and criticism
from campus members and the outside
community. Evergreen lives, but its existence as a holistic and interdisciplinary alternat ive to tradi ti onal educational structures, tha t is, its success in living up to
and retaining its spirit is definitely insecure .

(Editor 's note: Since th is lette'l" was
written, a task force to help prepare future ETS's has been set up . Richard Cellarius will most likely be chairman of that
co mmittee. Th e task force has also been
asked to study Evergreen 's Master Plan
with an eye out for its environmental
impact. For more information see the July

NATO
disputed
To the Editor:
Dr . Jaroslav Vachuda's article on
NATO and the European media "'\arrants
further comment. First of all, why does he
use the term "free world," in the first
para g raph. The phrase is a"rchaic ,
outdated, and should be reserved for such
trogl odyte publications as U.S. New.s and ,
World Report . Implicit in the words are a
denial of the Sino-Soviet Split (which I'm
ce rtain that even former U.S. Senator
George Murphy now is convinced really
exists). and a belief in monolithic international Communism . Come on, Dr. Vachuda , you had better reread Comrade Togliatti.
Yes, NATO may be here to stay . It
would certainly be difficult to get rid of it
after 25 years . But, was NATO ever
needed in the first place1 While I don't
classify myself as a historical revisionist I,
do think that in many instances their arguments warrant careful consideration . I
say that as a preface to what I am about
to say now. Popular and governmental
beliefs are that NATO has been highly
successful in stopping Soviet advances on
western Europe. However, there is little
su bstantive proof that the Russians ·
wanted to take over the low ·countries,· or
France, Italy, or' Britain . What the native
communist parties in those states warned
to accomplish was another matter. A little
review of Balkan history, and an understanding of the position of Poland between Germany and Russia will point out
the necessity for the Soviets to erect a
cordon sanitaire, an area of protection if
you will, on their western flank. That is
exactly what Russian troops did with the
assistance of other eastern European communists. Totalitarian regimes were not. established in eastern Europe as an extension of "world Communism." Communist
regimes were incidental to the primary
thrust of Soviet foreign policy - protection of the Soviet Union from another __
devastating war. And, it was not necessary for Stalin to establish Soviet style
regimes in western Europe to guarantee
the measure of protection that he deemed
necessary.
While I would not for a minute argtle
with Dr. Vachuda's personal experienc~
as a political refugee I would like to point
out that there are other views and · other
interpretations of European events · over
the past 35 years. Mine happens to differ
from his on NATO .

In Brief
'WORKING CLIMATE' STUDIED

President Charles McCann formed a
DTF on what he terms the "working climate" of Evergreen in response to his and
others' observations that a general depression permeated Evergreen last winter.
In his memo of July 9, McCann suggested that one possible "source of erosion" might be inequities between staff
and faculty. "When people try to express
what's bothersome (people among those
many Evergreeners who are not designated
as 'Members of the Faculty'), the words
one hears most are 'second- or third-class
citizens,"' he wrote.
McCann then conjectures that Evergreen's purpose statements for employees
might be too idealistic or more than possible to deliver considering "the inescapable
differences in people's functions."
Financial Aid and Placement Counselor
Bill Smith felt that some staff members
may have been "caught in the classless attempt to make the Evergreen dream fly."
They were then gradually disappointed by
failure.
Faculty member Will Humphreys
thought that some of the discontent might
be based on the many staff firings of Evergreen's second year during spring reorganization. The staff quickly learned that
they were perhaps more dispensable than
thev felt they were.
McCann mentioned that the amount of
"personal fulfillment and the number of
good working relationships" have been
very high. He also attributed some of the
exhaustion to the lack of sun, but remarked, "That's not to say that I was so
pollyannish as to think that all sources of
dissatisfaction with the working climate
would disappear with the clouds, but at
least, with sunshine, people would bring
more optimism to the task of seeing what
might be done."
The following people are on the DTF:
Paul Marsh (chairman), Diann Youngquist, Ed Reid, John Moss, Larry Stenberg, Anne Lewin, LeRoi Smith, William
Smith, Ellen Sogge, David Scoboria,
Linda Stone, Ann Brown, Lucy Enriquez,
Carol Sadler, Jerry Marcy, Burt Guttman,
Richard Holmes, and Pam Hansen.
The next meeting will take place on
July 31 at 1:30 in room L3121.

that it was "absurd to think that we

believe she has enough experience."
Hayes has worked as a counselor tutor
for the Upward Bound program at California State College and as a counselor at
the Emanuel Medical Center in Turlock,
California.
Hayes's appointment starts August 1.
Knapp, who will probably not appeal the
decision, said that even if the career counseling position were offered to her now,
she would not accept it.
"I wouldn't be able to work with that
group of people comfortably any more."

"It kind of ruined my vacation," said
former Evergreen career counselor Helena
Knapp about discovering that after two

member of counseling services. "I was
pretty damn hurt. That was the first job
in my life I had developed a real caring
for. It's very shattering not to have that."
Three weeks ago, Counseling Services
Director LeRoi Smith selected Michelle
Hayes, a 22 year old black woman and
recent graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara, for the position
of career counseling coordinator on the
"recommendation of the Career Counseling disappearing task force (DTF)," which
he had set up.
Following Hayes's appointment, some
Evergreen members expressed dismay.
Faculty member Burt Guttman, in a letter
to the Journal (June 11), said he felt that
Knapp was not chosen because her "skin
is the wrong color."
Smith said that it is a "racist attitude"
to assume that the decision was based on
Affirmative Action quotas rather than
qualifications. "Of course Hayes was

Decided on qualifications.

ADVOCATE OFFICE MEETING
THURSDAY

Frustration and disagreement over Evergreen's decision-making policies is nothing
new, and last Friday, July 12, a number
of students met to discuss a proposal that
a student or community advocate's office
be formed to deal with some of the problems that have arisen over decision-making procedures and policy establishment.
The office, which is still in early planning stages, would be a center where all
members of the Evergreen community
,with grievances concerning policies and
decisions could come for counsel and community advoc~tes would be available to
guide Evergreeners through the grievance
procedures set down in the Revised Committee on Governance Document (COG
II).

"I would like to see an office that could
deal effectively with the gaps between
Cooper Point Journal

governance policy as it is stated and as it
is carried out," says organizer Wendy
Kramer, a third year Evergreen student. "I
believe that it is important that someone
be available to show members of the Evergreen community how to deal with the
system here."
Is there really a need for such an office?
Andy Ryan, an Evergreen senior and
former editor of The Paper thinks there
is. "I think anyone who has spent the last
year at Evergreen and has been involved
with governance and decision-making will
realize the need for such an office," says
Ryan. "I hope this office will awaken the
community and involve more students in
the governance process."
Another meeting for those int.,erested in
forming the advocate's office is slated for
Thursday, July 18 at 7 p.m. in CAB rm.
108A.

CADWALLADER CRITICIZES
COORDINATED STUDIES

Faculty member Merv Cadwallader
recently wrote a position paper on the
"need to reduce Evergreen's commitment
to Coordinated Studies." The paper was
also signed by other faculty endorsing this
need.
The purpose of the paper according to
Cadwallader is to call for widespread and
serious discussion by the entire faculty of
the Coordinated Studies Program in the
fall. A few other faculty including
Richard Jones and Sid White are also
working on position papers dealing with
curriculum reform at Evergreen.
Cadwallader, who introduced the
"team-theme courseless two-year program" to the Evergreen planners in the
winter of 1970, had from the beginning
warned of the difficulties of such a program . As well as requiring harder work,
he said, "quite emphatically that very few
faculty would want to teach outside of
the disciplines and very few would want
to subordinate their own individual interests to the common interest, the common
theme, and the common book list of a
two-year team-theme program . . . I had
oversold the courseless program and over
the next four years Evergreen became
over-committed to what we now call coordinated studies."
As a result of this overextension, Cadwallader said, that many of the programs
failed because faculty were, "working in
poorly designed programs with faculty
that they did not want to work with, did
not like, and could not get along with,"
and teaching in a "team-theme" situation
which could have been done infinitely
better in other ways.
Cadwallader felt that a solution to the
problem would include cutting the number of programs offered, and to involve
no more than one-third of the faculty.
This would insure that each program was
well designed and staffed with totally willing faculty.
July 18, 1974

He advises the revision and repetition
of the successful programs, as well as
group contracts and modules whose numbers should be increased.
The idea that not all disciplines are conducive to coordinated studies and should
not be forced into them was mentioned in
Cadwallader's paper. For instance, mathematics, foreign languages, music, drama,
studio arts, film, and introductory sociology were named as not suitable for coordinated studies .
Cadwallader is also working on an "Evergreen Periodic Table of Programs"
which will serve to categorize all Coordinated Studies Programs. He sees a
strong need for clarifying the differences
between programs. Over a year ago,
Peter Elbow saw the same need to distinguish between programs. Cadwallader
writes, "We simply cannot expect to have
clear and sensible discussions about what
we are doing if we use the same label, 'coordinated studies program,' to describe
Man and Nature, Democracy and Tyranny, and Individual in America."
PAINTING DESTROYED
Since early May the "Evergreen State
College" sign on the northwest campus
parkway had been decorated with a
bright impressionistic forest scene that
some anonymous artist painted there.

sign.
Faculty member Bill Aldridge stated
that he was "excited and exhilarated upon
discovering the painted sign for the first
time. It seemed to have been done with
talent, taste, and planning." He did not
expect that it would remain there very
long. As far as the readability of the letters went, he said, "I could see them
okay."
TWO MORE WOMEN VANISH

Two more women have mysteriously
disappeared again in this state, bringing
the total to eight. Denise Naslund and
Janice Ott were reported missing as of
July 14, both last seen in the Lake Sammamish State Park area. Naslund came to
the park with her boyfriend to join a
party there. She excused herself to go to
the rest room and never return~. Ott left
a note for her roommate stating, 'Til be
at Lake Sammamish sunning myself." She
never returned home. Explorer Scouts,
bloodhounds, King County and Issaquah
police searched the area to no avail.
The other missing women are: Lynda
Ann Healy, a student at the University of
Washington, last seen Jan. 31; Donna
Gail Manson, a student at The Evergreen
State College, last seen March 12; Susan
Elaine Rancourt, a student from Central
Washington State College last seen April
17; Roberta Kathleen Parks, missing since
May 6 from Oregon State University; and
Georgann Hawkins, missing from the University of Washington since June 11. Also
missing is four year-old Heidi Peterson
missing since Feb. 21 from her home area
in Seattle.
Officials say there is no evidence to
connect the disappearances of Naslund
and Ott to the other women, but the
thought is there.

HUD ordered the rollbacks during the

purge the Presidency of a wrongdoer.
But the Supreme Court decision and its
aftermath could go one of three possible
ways:
1) The court will rule that Nixon is not
obliged to turn the tapes over to Jaworski.
This is unlikely due to the makeup of the
court and the nature of the White House
arguments, but if it should happen it
would strengthen Nixon's position before
the Congress to some extent. The House
might still impeach him, but the Senate
would almost certainly vote acquittal.
2) The court will rule that he must
turn over the tapes and he will comply. In
this case two possibilities suggest themselves:
a) The additional evidence on the tapes
will not significantly alter the case against
the President, in which case the court de-

L'He may secure Senate acquittal

by secretly

I

partisan vote then its recommendation
will have a good chance on the House
floor, but the committee's votes have
lately taken on an increasingly partisan
character. The only thing which might
mend the split would be a wash of new
incriminating evidence, which is still a
definite possibility.
If the House votes to impeach then the
President goes on trial before the Senate
with the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court acting as presiding judge. A twothirds vote of the Senate is required to
convict him and , thereby, remove him
from office.
Undoubtedly the Supreme Court's
ruling will have a substantial and perhaps
decisive effect on this process. If the
House and Senate were to act today,
hefore the Court's ruling, impeachment by
the House along party lines and acquittal
hy the Senate would be the most likely re8

"

cision will not have had much effect; or
b) the additional tapes will contain
seriously incriminating evidence which,
depending on its seriousness, may well
spark speedy impeachment and removal.
This is not unlikely, since the fact that
Nixon has fought so hard to keep those
tapes from seeing the light of day indicates that they contain more inculpatory
material than that already released.
3) The court will rule that he must
turn over the tapes, and he will refuse to
comply. (Nixon has stated that he will
abide by a "definitive ruling" by the Supreme Court, but his use of the qualifying
word "definitive" suggests that he may try
to sidestep a decision against him' - for
instance, if the court rules in a 4-4 tie not
to overturn the lower court ruling against
the President, he may Claim that is not a
"definitive ruling," although by the laws
of American justice it is.) In this case a

rapid impeachment and removal are
almost certain.
Since a two-thirds majority is needed to
remove the President in the case of a
Senate trial of impeachment, he needs
only 34 favorable votes to be acquitted.
Out of the 100 senators who will pass
judgment, there are probably 20 who are
so loyal they would not vote to convict
Nixon under any circumstances. This
means that Nixon needs to sway only
about 14 more senators to vote in his
favor and he will be acquitted. Recent
news items about Nixon taking conservative senato.~- im cruises down the Potomac on his yacht, wining and dining them
and talking politics, show one aspect of
this campaign. But this old-fashioned kind
of back-rubbing is only effective up to a
point, and it has been suggested that he
may secure a Senate acquittal by secretly
agreeing to "resign with honor" soon after
the verdict.
If he does resign, either before a Senate
trial or after a rigged acquittal, he may be
able to depict himself as a villified martyr
hounded out of office by his enemies. Although this would fail to establish Nixon's
guilt definitively for history and might
leave a damaging precedent for the future
(in that resignation might begin to be demanded of Presidents in times of political
unpopularity, a Paliamentary procedure
not well suited to the American system) it
would at least rid the Presidency of a man
who has done more to besmirch and discredit that office than any holder of it in
recent history.

"It's practically

Continued from page 1
the summer including an increase in the
number of Admissions personnel. The
summer recommendations will be decided
upon when Kormondy returns from his
vacation.
BecausE: the report has been so widely
misunderstood, the Journal decided to interview newly appointed dean Willie
Parson and librarian Susan Smith, head
of Circulation Services. Willie Parson, a
black man, was a member of the nonwhite disappearing task force which made
the report. Susan Smith, a white woman,
had voiced disagreement with some sections of the report. Stan Shore, the managing editor of the Cooper Point Journal,
was the interviewer, and is also white.
Following is the interview with only
minor changes for the sake of clarity.

STAN SHORE: Under the recommendations to the bookstore there is a recommendation to establish a line of credit for
non-whites. Is this for only non-whites?
SUSAN SMITH: Willie and I were talking about this before and we found in another section of the report, about Health
Servic':!s, it said to provide free medical
services for needy students. I thought this
thing about credit on books - that it
should be for needy students. I know
Willie has some different thoughts on this.
WILLIE PARSON: Now let me tell you
something that I told you Susan earlier.
This report was put together to specifically focus on the concerns of the nonwhite community. But throughout our discussions, especially at the end of the interviews (with academic and budget heads),
we realized that there were implications
here not just for non-white students or
faculty or staff, but for the community as
a whole. While it might not be stated explicitly in the various sections of the report, some of those things can be taken as
being of concern to the entire campus.
Certainly that feeling existed on the part
of the group when we put this report together, that there were implications in it
for all of us - not just non-whites.
SUSAN SMITH: And that's in the report.
I feel positive about the report as a
whole. For instance, I think it's a good
idea to extend credit to non-whites for
books, and it should also follow that
needy students get it.
STAN SHORE: It seems that if a student
doesn't have enough money he could just
get an emergency loan or something from
Financial Aid. It seems that as it is now,
Financial Aid is responsible for seeing that
students have enough money.
WILLIE PARSON : Financial Aid is limited in the amounts of money it can give
- they don't have enough to answer every need for everything that comes up. So
10

non-whites
and

women. "

that if I'm a student and I can't get the
money from Financial Aid, then there
ought to be another way for me to get it.
STAN SHORE: Number two of the general recommendations states all positions
should be filled by non-whites over the
next two years.
SUSAN SMITH: The criteria is set up by
the Affirmative Action (goals). It's practically impossible not to hire all nonwhites and women. I personally feel that
it might be unrealistic to say have to that nothing but non-whites and women
can be hired. But we do have to make a
better effort than we've been making thus
far.
WILLIE PARSON: That's right.
SUSAN SMITH: But that doesn't mean
that I think a job is going to be left open
for three years because we can't find a
woman or non-white to fill them. Isn't
that right? Wouldn't you say so?
WILLIE PARSON: I wouldn't think so,
but on the other hand I don't think that
any job we have to fill now or next year,
I don't think that, given the kind of effort
that goes into hiring, you'll ever find a situation where you can't find anybody who
is non-white or woman to go into that
position. It's easy to say "Well I know
that I'm not going to be able to find a
qualified non-white or woman, therefore
I'll hire the first person that comes along."
And you're going to have a lot of whites
coming along to fill those positions - in
many cases you're going to have to go
out and look for non-whites and if you
don't go out and look you're not going to
find any.
One of the intentions here was to get
the college to live up to its commitments
in Affirmative Action, not by filling one
or two positions every year, but by hiring
all non-whites and women because that's
the only way you're going to get that 25
percent non-white and (SO percent)
women balance in terms of faculty and
staff. Obviously you can't do that in the
amount of time that we're talking about
by hiring one person every year.

The second part of
STAN SHORE:
number two says that the hiring should be
prioritized according to non-white women
first, then non-white men, then white
women.
SUSAN SMITH:
The reason I think
that's a good idea is because it's very
easy, or it's easier, to find white women
and hire them and then say that you've
acted affirmatively. Affirmative Action
has been a great boon to white women
because it means that they can get jobs
that they wouldn't be considered for before. As a person who does hiring I know
that it's easier to find white women than
it is to find non-white women and nonwhite men. So I like the idea of prioritizing it. Because it makes someone who is
trying to fill a position look for non-white
women. It's much harder for non-white
women to find jobs, I think.
WILLIE PARSON: If you don't prioritize, then it gives the person who hires,
who really doesn't want to deal with nonwhites, men or women, the chance to hire
only white women and defend themselves
saying that they're acting affirmatively.
(Editor's note: In March, 1974, when the
Affirmative Action goals for the college
were being drawn up , a survey was done
to see how many non-white men and
women and white women were employed
at the school. At that time , out of a total
of 351 full time employees , 178 wert!
white men, 129 were white women, 29
were non-white men, and 15 were nonwllite women.)
STAN SHORE: Do you think that there
would be any special difficulty in getting
non-whites to come to Evergreen?
WILLIE PARSON:
When a person is
looking for a job, probably the first and
foremost factor is finding out what the
job entails, and secondly finding out what
the climate of the community is. I would
suspect that a non-white person who finds
the climate really less than agreeable
would put much more thought into not
coming than the average white person
who is, after all, stepping into a majority.
So non-whites are going to question the
climate at this institution; in the case of a
faculty member they're going to ask how
many other non-whites are there, how
many of my particular ethnic group, how
many students, how many staff? What
does the community that Evergreen sits in
have to offer - that is Olympia - have
to offer me?
STAN SHORE: Do you think that a nonwhite coming out here and looking
around would be discouraged?
WILLIE PARSON: I wouldn't want to
make that sort of generalization. I can
only speak for myself. Speaking for myself, when I came, I was pretty much discouraged by the kind of rhetoric going
around in terms of the college's commitment to getting non-whites here. So my
coming here probably had much less to
do with the climate and people of OlymCooper Point Journal

pia and more to do with what the people
at Evergreen were saying to me. But that's
me - that's not the average non-white. I
don't think there is an average non-white.
Some people dig living in a very small
town . I don't dig it. But some people can
really dig that.
STAN SHORE: Under Student Services,
Financial Aid and Placement it's recommended that non-white students on workstudy be given top-priority in getting
jobs.
All work study
WILLIE PARSON:
students get on work study because they
are determined to have a financial need.
The problem that some non-white students face, after being declared a workstudy qualified student, is that they then
can't get a job. Some people would rather
not work with non-white students - so
this recommendation is to see to it that
students not only get the official workstudy qualification, but a job as well.
STAN SHORE: In the report, under the
recommendations to the Director of Auxiliary Services, you state that the S&A Fees
Review Board proposal to the S&A DTF
should be implemented. That proposal
states that the S&A Fees Review Board
should have control over all S&A fees.
WILLIE PARSON: This is a situation
where all students - not just non-whites
- are obviously affected.
STAN SHORE: Why is this recommendation in a report about non-whites?
'WILLIE PARSON: In the course of the
DTF discussions it became apparent that
the non-white representation on the S&A
Board was inadequate. It was our intent
to address some attention to the composition of the Board itself. On the other
hand we also wanted to address the concerns of non-whites in terms of the use of
mtmey by the S&A Board would be
brought to bear by getting adequate representation on the Board.
STAN SHORE:
And no matter what
kind of representation you got for the
Board it wouldn't matter if the Board
didn't have any money?
WILLIE PARSON: Exactly.
SUSAN SMITH: "Sure you can be a
member . . . but we don't have any
money to spend, so we can all get together and divide up the air."
STAN SHORE: Under Food Services in
the report you state that at least one ethnic meal a day should be served. Ethnic
meal?
It was Susan's
WILLIE PARSON:
comment earlier that they should think
first about producing food. Even though
there is a question about the quality of
food, there should be some effort made.
Granted the quality may not come out
very well ...
STAN SHORE: In the recommendations
for the bookstore it's stated that an effort
should be made to purchase materials
from Third World publishers. Does this
imply that the present collection at the
bookstore on Third World matters is inJuly 18, 1974

HSome people

students."
adequate?
WILLIE PARSON: That was part of it.
The other part was that we ought not just
get books about the Third World but we
ought to also be buying those books from
Third World publishers.
SUSAN SMITH: At least we should invite them out here. They might say no,
they don't want to come .. . but at least
an effort should be made to get those
materials from Third World publishers instead of somewhere else.
STAN SHORE: Under the Library, it's
recommended that the present collection
of non-white materials be inventoried and
that the gaps that exist be filled with the
help of the Non-White Coalition. Is there
the implication that the present non-white
collection is inadequate?
WILLIE PARSON: The first thing is to
find out what is here. The second thing,
after having that knowledge, is if we find
there are things that are not here that
ought to be, then how are we going to get
them?
SUSAN SMITH: And the same thing
ought to be done for materials on women
and the materials on other disciplines.
Someone should go through the collection
and make sure that there is adequate
material in an area. Richard Matchette
just finished an internship at the library
doing just that with the anthropology
materials.
STAN SHORE: In the report on the section about Health Services it is recommended that a full-time doctor be hired.
Is a part-time doctor insufficient?
WILLIE PARSON: I don't think you can
work here as a half-time teacher and a
half-time doctor.
SUSAN SMITH: I don't think you can
work here as a half-time anything!
WILLIE PARSON : It's the nature of this
institution that anything you do here
takes up a lot of your time.
SUSAN SMITH: And if you do split up
your time it gets terribly schizophrenic.
WILLIE PARSON: Then you also get

into the position of having to set priorities and if the wrong priorities are set
then the more situations come up that demand that you set priorities .
STAN SHORE : Under the section on
academic deans, the report suggests that
non-verbal expressions of competence be
put on a par with the written essay . I
know that Lynn Patterson (dean in charge
of faculty hiring) has defended the essay
very strongly .
WILLIE PARSON: I think relying on the
essay alone is a mistake. There are a lot
of potential faculty with a lot of talent
and a lot to offer the community who are
not especially good at writing the essay .
The truth of the situation is that there are
faculty members here right now who can't
write and a lot of them are white. There
should be another way for a candidate to
show their credentials other than through
an essay . This point is aimed at getting
people who are good teachers but can't
write. As it is now we have some people
who are good writers but can't teach.
STAN SHORE: Also under the academic
dean section of the report, item number
five states, "The deans should take effective steps to insure that all coordinated
studies programs and group contracts,
basic and advanced, build into their structure those skills development components
necessary to enable students to achieve
goals of the program or contract." It
sounds like it would severely limit an
advanced program.
WILLIE PARSON: This is a very difficult problem and I'm not sure that I'm going to try to solve this one . . . What I'm
thinking of is a situation where a program
comes along that bills itself as an advanced program - the kind that requires
a great deal of "intellectual" activity . In
some cases, inadvertently, it scares the
non-white student because they've been
put in the role so long of being the person
who is one step behind in educational preparedness that when a program like this
comes up, even if it could be of great
benefit to them, they don't enroll because
they're nervous that the class is going to
be more than they can handle. And this
is, in effect, a substantial block to nonwhites. This is the problem: to take that
student, who needs that program, and
come up with some ways to get that student to the same level as everyone else.
Another comment I have is that I'm not
sure that all of the students who go into
that sort of program here today are ready
to do some of the things that the program
requires -but yet they go through!
What is it that gets the white student
through the program that cannot be done
for the non-white student?
STAN SHORE: It seems, though; that
some programs demand prerequisit'es like a science program that you must have
a knowledge of calculus for.
Continued next page
11

Continued from preceding page
WILLIE PARSON: Well, let's put it this
way: if this is a program or contract and
the requirement is that the students have
had calculus before they enroll in the program that's one thing. If in the process of
designing that program, the designer says
nothing about the student having had calculus before, and subsequently a hundred
people enroll and then along comes a nonwhite student who wants to be in. If the
response he gets is, "Oh, well you haven't
had calculus so you can't be in this program because you don't have the skills,"
- that's the kind of thing that recom-'
mendation is trying to guard against. Obviously there are some programs which
are advanced and have prerequisites but I
also believe that if you are going to let
some students who haven't met those requirements in, don't let your generosity
end with the non-white: let him in too.

shareholders Philip McLennan and Fred
Bender have· promised to make such a
rollback effective Aug. 1 if HUD continues to insist upon it after today's hearing.
Although such a rollback would have no
immediate effect on the Evergreen ASH
complex, a report summarizing the findings of a nationwide audit of ASH fina~ces is expected in the near future.
HUD officials contacted would not rule
out the possibility of a rent rollback at
Evergreen based on the findings of the
audit team.
MEN'S CENTER PLANNED
Tom Lufkin, a former Evergreen student, is working with other members of
the Evergreen community to start a men's
center. "The idea grew out of a letter
written to the Cooper Point Journal (Apr.
25, 1974) asking why the men at Evergreen were doing nothing to help themselves in the way that the Women's
Center and the Gay Center were helping
their people," says Lufkin.
The function of the center would be
two-fold as Lufkin sees it. "Men need a
place where they can go and talk about
their role as men in relation to women
and other men." He also sees the presentation and discussion of the male physiology
as an important part of the center. The
second major aspect of the center would
be a political one. "People talking to one
another at a gut level is an extremely political thing. In order for changes in attitude to take place people have to be in
touch with one another." Lufkin hopes
that a center where this kind of exchange
is taking place would also help to facilitate communication between the Women's
Center, the Gay Center, and the
Non-White Coalition. "We all have to get

12

together to attain a human rapport a~d
mutual direction." Lufkin feels that this
kind of communication is lacking at Evergreen.
Response to the center has, so far, been
quite positive. Lufkin says he has talked
with a wide variety of Evergreen's males
and only a few seemed negative or extremely skeptical. "So far the response has
been overwhelming and positive. Very
few men seem suspicious. But I hesitate to
say that all men would be interested. The
women I've talked to all seem happy and
delighted by the idea."
Those who wish to participate in or

help organize the center should talk with
Lufkin, who can be contacted through the
Women's Center in the Library building,
room 3213. Phone: 866-6162.

RELEASED TIME DTF FORMED
A disappearing task force (DTF) to determine a policy on released time for staff
members has been formed by Dean Clabaugh.
A released time policy would outline

parking lots."
Concerned with the growing dangers to
hitchhikers, Linda said, "I would be afraid
to hitchhike, and I'm really kind of scared
to pick up a hitchhiker, but I wish it
weren't that way. I wish there was a way
we could have a little bit more freedom,
because I think it is a good way to travel
if it could be a little safer. You should be
able to move around without having to
worry about danger. And especially with
the ecology movement, there's no reason
why everyone has to drive."
Queen Linda "just LOVES" Washington
and Olympia, her home town. Talking
about her reign as queen she said excitedly, "Oh, I've had so much fun; we've met
so many people. The Capitalarians are
just fantastic, they're the greatest bunch
of guys and gals ever." She was just as
complimentary toward her princesses saying, "They are just out of this world. I

just love every one' of them, and I think
everyone would make a fantastic queen.
It was an eeny meeny miny moe type
thing. I'm sure it was real close."
"I don't remember too much about the
coronation," she said, "I think the Capitalarians deserve an awful lot of credit, I
especially owe them a big thank-you. I
think the whole community really does."
But for all the people ·Wondering, and
perhaps fulfilling their own dreams vicariously through Linda's coronation, she
says she has no desire to go further. Then
again, it seems that pageant winners as
well as politicians always deny that which
they are really seeking. So, who knows?
In a couple of years, in notorious Atlantic City, a little girl named Linda Faaren
may be glowing again as she accepts the
highest award our country has to give a
pretty young thing, the title of Miss America.

BUS TO EXPO PLANNED
The Activities Office is planning an expedition to EXPO '74 in Spokane. Activities coordinators Ned Swift and Erskine
White say they're "thinking in terms of a
four-day trip," and that seats on the ISpassenger bus will be available at a cost
of 1/15 of the gas. EXPO tickets, at $4 a
throw, and food must be purchased sep-

arately, they say, but lodgings - on the
floor of a local church - will be available
at $2 a night. Persons interested are asked
to call Swift or White at 866-6220, or stop
by the Activities building, room 305, before July 23.

CORRECTION
In last week's Journal we misspelled the
name of library dean Jovana Brown. In
that issue we mistakenly spelled her name
with two "n's" as "Jovanna." One "n" in
her first name is correct.

On Monday, July 22, there will be a
meeting at noon on the third floor of the
Activities building to discuss plans for coordinating a Washington branch of Amnesty International with the possibility of
an office on campus.
The group, which is composed of over
30,000 people in 60 different countries
acts on behalf of individuals who are imprisoned because of their race, religion
and beliefs. The worldwide organization
has been successful in obtaining the release of at least 7,000 prisoners over the
past few years.
For more information concerning Amnesty International, contact Eva Usadi at

RETREAT IN DORMS
Swami Muktananda Paramahansa
·(Baba), an Indian guru who preaches selfrealization will bring his second world
tour to Evergreen this weekend, July
19-21. "Baba," who began his tour in February, claims to have "the unique gift of
being able to awaken in those who meet
him the desire to know God."
While on campus, Saba and his followers will be staying in the dorms, and for
those who wish to spend the weekend
with him in retreat there is a charge of
$40.00. For advance reservations, call

est film Daisy Miller in town. While opinions are at best mixed, even a Bogdanovitch failure should be interesting. I look
forward to seeing what even Peter Bogdanovitch can do with his reported sweetheart Cybill Shepard as Henry James's
Daisy.
Corn and Porn

'Having been in Seattle since graduation,
I am beginning to get caught up on the
film scene here. While Seattle may not exactly be Cannes or New York, it is nice to
be in a city with more than three theatres.
After a brief orgy of cinematic overindulgence, things have leveled off and it is
time to think about another report
Cops and Robbers

Maybe I've been reading too much Raymond Chandler and am just attuned to
the genre, but it would appear that the
best films in Seattle are using the timeworn formula. And to quote (Elliot Gould
as) Philip Marlowe "It's all right with me
lady. "
The Long Goodbye , Robert Altman's
film from the {:handler novel, is back,
often playing oA the bottom of a double
bill in the suburban theatres. The movie
was much underrated when it was released in 1972 and many people missed it.
The film is similar in form to Altman's
E'arliPr works M*A *S*H and McCabe and
Mrs. Miller. Altman takes Marlow out
of the forties and drops him into the seventies in a funny film which explores the

meaning of a morality that was created
by WWII and the movies and which perhaps never existed anywhere but Hollywood.
The Harvard Exit offers a delightful
French detective film, The Tall Blond
Man with One Black Shoe. Very much in
the style of the French comedy of the
early sixties, the film is totally unpretentious and very very funny. Although to
discuss Watergate would be to stifle the
joy of The Tall Blond Man it is worth
mentioning that the film concerns what
happens when you begin by believing that
someone is out to get you. On the
strength of The Exit's recommendation
the film has deservedly taken Seattle b;
storm.
Roman Polanski's latest work, Chinatown, with Faye Dunaway and Jack Nicholson has just opened here. The film is
magnificent. Beautifully filmed, the 1930's
detective story does everything for me
The Sting didn't. It is believable and uses
the period without being simply a period
piece . Nicholson is excellent as J. Gittis,
the slightly greasy but very successful detective who, unlike Chandler's Marlowe
will take divorce work.

Bogdanovitc/1 and Bogdanovitch

I'm typing frantically, trying to get this
done and in the mail so that I can relax
and watch Paper Moon director Peter
Bogdanovitch host the Tonite Show. One
of the ~ost successful of the young Hollywood directors, he seems to be taking the
country by storm. The film which established his career, and brought black and
white· back to the movies, The Last Picture Show, is currently playing on a
double bill with Easy Rider which should
make for a double blast at middle America. In addition, SRO is showing his !at-

Shot in Seattle

Seattle has become the place to shoot a
movie i~ the last few years. The city, glad
of the mcome and publicity, has been
more than obliging. Seattle mayor Wes
~!man even had a walk-through in Harry
zn Your Pocket. The best of the Seattleshot films which I've seen is the compassionate and touching Cinderella Libe.rty which is still in the area. Just opening
IS The Parallax View (also in Olympia at
the Olympic), which includes the now
famous chase scene around the outside of
the top of the Space Needle, John Hartle
of The Seattle Times reports that it is a
paranoid political thriller and one of the
best filmed in Seattle. Also opening is 99
and 441100% Dead, a film about which
telling you that it was filmed in Seattle
exhausts both my knowledge and my interest.

Cowboys and Indians

"Every story is a Western" or so Sam
Peckinpah is quoted in the July Atlantic.
Mel Brooks must have heard him because
he made Blazing Saddles a western; at
le~st he dressed everyone up in cowboy
su1ts and got Frankie Lane to sing the
opening song. The setting is really not
very important in a Brooks film, being a
backdrop for whatever the current series
of gags is: the mayor presenting the incoming sheriff with a laurel wreath and a
hearty handshake - Get it? That's a
Laurel and Hardy handshake. The film is
funny and if the closing sequence with the
obligatory chase running through Universal Studios is a little weak, at least it's
well within the spirit of the movie. With
it is a slightly rat-ish Mickey Mouse in the
i939 cartoon Two Gun Mickey which will
leave you brokenhearted over the current
state of Saturday morning.
Also in town is the rereleased Butch
Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid. In spite
of my Redford/Newman prejudice, it is a
pleasant little western with the exception
of Rain Drops Keep Fallin' on my Head
scene which continues to look like someone spliced a feminine hygiene commercial into the film .
