Race for House Seat Begins
BY DEAN KATZ

In what promises to be a rather uneventful election year, 1974, there is one
political race that is worth watching, if
for no other reason than lack of anything
else to do during a long muggy Washington summer.
The Third District Congressional race,
well underway now, is a wide-open, free
for all race to Washington D.C., with a
winner's prize of $42,500 a year.
The legislative seat in question, held for
the past fourteen years by the formidable
congresswoman from Cathlamet, Julia
Butler Hansen, is not just a two-year congressional appointment as is the case in
most elections to the House.
Once elected as a member of the Washington congressional delegation, it is rare
that an incumbent is defeated. For that

reason, this election represents a virtual
lifetime appointment to Washington D.C.
Already, six people have announced
their political intentions in the Third District race. None of those running are
women, and for the most part, most of
the contenders are simply traditional politicians with Watergate addendums on
their campaign literature. Nevertheless,
there are differences among the candidates
and their political viewpoints.
So far, there are five announced Democratic contenders in the October primary
race and one Republican. Don Bonker,
Clark County Auditor, is running a John
Kennedy type campaign fourteen years
too late.
With a wife that looks like Jackie
Onnasis, the thirty-seven year old Bonker
is traveling throughout the district trying
to organize a grass-roots campaign that he
claims is not beholden to special interests.

Bonker is a believable, down-to-earth
candidate who is on his way up the political ladder, even if he doesn't win this election. He lost a bid for Secretary of State
in 1972 to another of this year's congressional contenders, A. Ludlow Kramer.
Bonker is strong on campaign and election reform. He stresses the need for abolition or revision of the seniority system
in the House, and is in favor of partial
public financing of federal elections.
He speaks of a coalition of freshmen
congressmen and the kind of fresh new
political morality they could bring to
Washington D.C., given the chance. To
date, Don Bonker's campaign contributions total $3,389. The two major contributors are Henry Higgins, ($500), and
James Hessler, ($400) .

FLY 'IMPACT ASSOCIATES'

All aboard: You are now entering a
747 jet plane. You m~y choose your seats.
However, this choice is not as easy as it
appears because you must choose between
five racial sections: one contains an all
black-American population, the next, an
Asian-American group, and so on with
Mexican-American people, Native Americans, and finally Caucasian-Americans.
Now I must warn you, your choice may
indicate serious psychological ramifications or racist attitudes.
No, sir, you may not cop-out. There is
no non-smoking section, to choose.
Or so we were told just before the takeoff of the Affirmative Action workshop's
"experience in inter-cultural awareness:
747 experience." We had stopped by to
see how the staff were doing last Friday at
the second of eight workshops that purport to sensitize everyone to the problems
of interracial communication.
The question in everyone's mind afterwards was: did it ever get off the ground?
Flight preparation took the form of a
get-to-know-yourself-and-others exercise.
People were to pin a large card on one's
front with what-you-like-about-yourself
on one side, and what-you-dislike-about
yourself on the other. Everyone got to
look at everyone l!lse's cards and sit down
and talk about it. Then you were okayed
for take-off.
As the simulated flight began those people with the Evergreen Staff Charter were
instructed to plug in the special headphones under the right arm of the seats
and listen for real communication. Genuine spontaneous gut level feelings had to
be exposed for this flight to be a success.
After everyone had sat down in their
preferred section, the three black "facilitators" (one a woman) directed the group's
attention to those members sitting in the
Asian-American section. The Asian area
sitters were confronted with questions led
by the facilitators and picked up on by
other charter members. Much value was
placed in the ability to speak specifically
of one's own feelings and thoughts rather
than expressing group feelings which
might be misrepresentational. After all,
everyone is an individual. Facilitators
were so careful not to misunderstand
anyone that, when necessary, they prediJuly 25, 1974

cated their responses with "I think I heard
you say" thereby allowing any member
the chance to correct possible misconceptions.
The main thrust of the investigation
was to establish the reasons behind people's choices in seating. When it was
found that one of the reasons for joining
the Asian-American group was that they
were easy to get along with, the facilitators wanted to know if they thought
Asians were really easygoing underneath
it all. The answer was not known as a
certainty, although one member from another section pointed out that Asians are
all individuals.
Very good. We were getting somewhere.
The charter members were then directed
to place their attentions on those choosing
the black-American section. Discussion
generally centered around the topic of
what is preferred by blacks to be called:
black, black-American, African-American,
or Afro-American. This high point in the
flight was brought to a standstill when it
was noted that actually most blacks prefer to be regarded as, again, individuals.

That time, because the majority of members choosing that section were black, this
outcome only took about one-half hour.
The scene of this experience was actually at the Tyee Friendship Motor Inn last
week for two, two-day workshops organized by Affirmative Action officer Rindy
Jones. The three facilitators were from an
organization called "Impact Associates"
who formed about two years ago because
of the growing demand for such
workshops. They hold similar experiences
for such purposes as career planning,
management training, and executive
workshops for other institutions and corporations. The Associates use a different
combination of their ten people (all races
are represented except European-American and half are women) for each workshop depending on the predicted impact.
In a contract with Evergreen, Impact
Associates agreed to fly with eight workshops, two of which have already been
done (five are being planned for faculty,
students, and more staff, and one followup trip for everyone), for $5,000.

Spider rapped
(This letter, written by Director of Facilities Jerry Schillinger, is in response to a
letter from Evergreen student Spider Burbank which appeared in last week's Journal [July 18]. - Editor)

Dear Mr. Burbank:
In response to your letter of July 3,
1974, I offer the following comments.
1. You were invited to attend the
meeting on June 7, 1974, with Mr. Cellarius in which all issues including those you
4

raised were discussed.
2. Attached are copies of two letters
regarding the establishment of an interdisciplinary committee to work on environmental issues. Because of your expressed
interest in the area, I suggest you contact
Mr. Cellarius regarding membership on
the working committee.
3. The Department of Ecology did not
respond to our EIS. When called by our
office, they indicated they would file our
EIS, but would not review or respond due
to the lack of manpower and time.
4. You indicated you have reviewed
the Master Plan which, if followed, would
result in an environmental disaster. When
did this review take place7 To my knowledge, you have never been in the Facilities
office to inquire about the Master Plan,
and this is tlie only office where complete
information is available. I strongly

suggest you and I review the long range
plans of the college upon your return to
campus. You may have a different opinion when all the facts are known.
5. Your statement that projects are
"sprung on us" could not be farther from
the truth. Capital projects normally require a minimum of 24 months of planning and development before bids are
called for on the construction. In the case
o( the Communications Laboratory Building·, the planning period was 48 months in
duration. During this period, endless
meetings were held regarding the project.
In 1972, the location of the Communications Laboratory Building was discussed
at several Board of Trustee meetings. The
current site was their decision.
6. I will not respond to your "character assassination" of the administrative organization. There is another time and
place for those concerns.
Cooper Point Journal

I sincerely hope you will accept my invitation to stop by my office for a
thorough discussion upon your return to
campus.
J. L. Schillinger

Knauss replies
To the Editor:
Spider Burbank's suspicions and angry
accusations in his recent letter to the
Editor of a presumptuous, unresponsive,
dishonest, unwilling and biased facilities
administration is a result of self-imposed
absence from participation and subsequent
rationalization of his own inaction.
The Editor's note following Burbank's
letter states, "Since this letter was written,
a task force to help prepare future EIS's
(and review Evergreen's master planning)
has been set up." Actually, the task force
was charged before Burbank's letter as a
result of Jerry Schillinger's recommendation in rather prompt response to earlier
letters of criticism, dated May 30 and 31.
Schillinger made his recommendations to
a meeting of critics and administrators on
June 7, 1974, to which Burbank was personally invited but declined to attend. All
of the questions, arguments and recommendations concerning environment impact assessment in Burbank's letter were
covered at that meeting.
Burbank complains that he is uninformed of college development planning
and project design and construction. Yet
he doesn't seem to feel responsible to gain
the information through his own effort
and inquiry. I have seen Burbank pass the
Office of Facilities many times, but never
enter. Those who do, find access to files,
drawings, copy machines and willing assistance. Evergreen's Master Plan has always been "out in the open for all to review." Hundreds of copies of the printed
document were published and distributed.
A scale model of the Plan was long on
display at the Ubrary. The plan is not the
inflexible self-serving argument of developers, but honest estimates of future community needs.
Evergreeners can be effective in causing
the Master Plan to conform to present
and changing needs, but it requires early
inquiry and active participation. My short
experience at Evergreen does not support
Burbank's characterization of Evergreen as
an insecure institution where apathy and
helplessness grow (at least these maladies
aren't general or terminal). The rec~nt and
pending realization of plans for the Driftwood Day Care Center and the Organic
Farm (neither of which are in the Master
Plan) are the result of tireless preparation
by participating students, faculty and
staff, willing to confront administrators
and carry through.
july. ,25, 1974

Burbank cites "the tokenism . . .
grinning from the Communications Laboratory EIS" as evidence of unresponsive
administrative bureaucracy. I wrote the
EJS and share responsibility for its failings, but I can assure anyone th~t my intent was to respond to a total absence of
previous environmental impact assessment
at The Evergreen State College - not deliberate tokenism.
There has been no question for several
weeks of the inadequacy of environmental
impact assessment and of the need for
planning review at The Evergreen State
College. Cellarius, Burbank, Kormondy,
Clabaugh, Schillinger and others all agree
that action is needed. I'm available; I
trust Burbank will be - to carry his concerns beyond the tokenism whimpering
from his accusatory letter to the Editor.
WILUAM M. KNAUSS
Senior Architect

Group judged
To the Editor:
Having attended the Affirmative Action
workshop on July 18 and 19 J feel that
there are several items that should be
aired.
Having had previous experience with
this type of mass workshop, I realize that
the vital issues and the extremely sensitive
areas such as interracial marriage are usually skillfully avoided leaving the outcome ineffective. This workshop was
essentially the same.
Knowing that I shall be misquoted and
labeled as a racist or something of that
ilk, I would like to go on the record
about my observations.
Probably the only beneficial outcome
and the main reason for that workshop
was to help meet HEW and the like requirements in order to perpetuate federal
funding to the institution.
The theme of the workshop which was
equality for all, improving communication
and understanding problems of others
rapidly deteriorated into a Black and
White confrontation. Only "lip service"
was given to such issues as the Native
American, and the Mexican American,
the Asian American and the inequality of
women ·in the labor force. I was told by
one of the facilitators that the Jewish
American issue was not relevant.
In the first place of the large number in
attendance only six were minorities including the facilitators and the Affirmative Action office personnel. This would
be insufficient to have effective communication in all areas.
The facilitators and the Evergreen Affirmative personnel at the workshop were
totally represented by black Americans. I
feel that their numbers should include

whites and other minority groups.
The greatest force of the workshops
was the facilitators who were brought in
to lead the discussions. They in fact instead of leading the discussions when the
Black and White issues emerged joined in
with the Arrirmative Action office personnel and would intimidate persons expressing views that were contrary to theirs.
The effect of this at times created high
tensions and had an adverse effect on the
entire conference.
_
It has become obvious by the comments
made by some of the people present, and
one of the facilitators, that there was a
complete lack of understanding and possible indifference to the Native American
issue. Most of the questions that did arise
were in reference to cigarette and fireworks sales on reservations.
This I find to be something of a paradox as Washington has the sixth largest
population of Native Americans in the
United States.
I stand basically for equal rights for all,
but I do not find this in such recommendations which were recently submitted to
Vice President Kormondy by the NonWhite DTF.
I also have a deep respect for those
who will attempt to face issues squarely
and a sense of loss for those timid souls
who lack the courage to communicate
with all other people even if only on a
one to one basis.
I have spent the largest part of my
adult years in working with minorities in
the roles of subordinate, fellow worker
and supervisor. I personally feel that one
to one communication does improve understanding and respect between people.
Jim Rousseau

Sign praised
To the Editor:
So - Jerry Schillinger terms the painting of the TESC sign at the northwest
edge of our campus as "pure vandalism."
That sign was an utter delight. It was a
playful and loving piece of work designed
to put a little warmth into "Concrete Slab
U." Why must every goddamned thing to
do with facilities on this campus be ordered? And, for those who know me well,
that question may come as a surprise because I do respect, appreciate, and seek
out a considerable amount of order.
Vandalism is something that takes place
when people knock over lights on walkways, break windows, or senselessly destroy the property of others. That painting was not vandalism, Jerry Schillinger.
And, your values are confused if you
think that it was.

Gripes aired
To the Editor:
I have heard minorities complain of
lack of representation on various committees and governing bodies. At the Affirmative Action workshop, I feel I came to
understand just how they feel, as all of
the·facilitators were black.
I have heard through the rumor mill
that some people have spoken in private
against Jim Rousseau, who isn't afraid to
speak out. I think I know the identity of
some of these individuals, and it is interesting to note that they are the ones who
say little or nothing in group meetings.
Perhaps they are more interested in the
approval of a limited group of peers than
in the type of communication which is the
purpose of these meetings.
These are just a couple of gripes about
the workshop, and I don't want it to be
thought that I have a negative attitude
about these sessions which, I think, must
be worthwhile.

sponsibility for our free world. This is,
then, our Free World, and NATO is its
shield.
I am, of course, always eager to listen
to new facts. I feel that a person can
never know everything: the last polyglot
lived in. 17th century, his name was
Johann Amos Comenius. I do possess a
trained mind, but I do not trust it aloRe
and without checking and rechecking, and
I can consult anyone on any point and I
do not think that I am losing my dignity
by doing so. Therefore I am rereading for
the benefit of Paul Marsh, who raises the
question of the intention of the Soviet
Union in the postwar period. Our reader
of course already knows that in the
decade 1939-1949 the Soviet Union occupied circa 15 nations with 200 million inhabitants. The question then was, in the
year 1949, whether the USSR would continue her march to the West. We know
that Lenin was widely quoted as having
said: 'The road to Paris lies through
Peking," but after the Silesian Declaration
in 1947, which reads in part: ". . . the
anti-imperialist and democratic camp.
COMINFORM. has as its basic aim the

undermining of imperialism (the free
world). " Two statements of the eminent
West European n1mmunists leaders must
sulfice for lack of space:
Signor Palmiro Togliatti said February
26. 1049: " . . . if the Red Army invaded
Italy, the Italian people would have the
evident duty of helping the Soviet Army
in the most effective manner possible."
And Monsieur Maurice Thorez said February 22. 1949: "if the Red Army entered
France, the French communists would side
with it against their own (French) Government and Army." Both gentlemen were
then Secretaries Generals of their respective Communist Parties of France and
Italy. In this short reply we do not have
enough space and time to pursue the
matter scholarly and in depth. But I think
we established a probable cause for a certain fear evoked in Western Europe by
public statements of the heads of the largest political parties in France and Italy.

NATO
defended
To the Editor:
I am already accustomed to defending
American institutions against my American friends on the campus who are young
and take freedom for granted, but never
have I had such a response for writing
two plain but meaningful words "free
world," as I read in Paul Marsh's remarks
to my article on NATO as seen by the
European media. We, of course, in political science use such unprecise expressions
as the Third World, Socialist camp, Communist powers, et cetera, but the terminus
technicus "the free world" has a special
and precise meaning for me :
The free world is this world of ours,
where peaceful change of rulers and institutions can take place, the world where
we have the right to influence by our secret ballot the organization and management of just, democratic, human,
cultural. progressive and free society
through meaningful changes. The political
foundation of this free world is the free
and civil electoral contest between persons
of different views, parties and institutions,
the bloodless succession of elected representatives, et cetera. This is possible only
in a free world : love of liberty, to know,
recognize and appreciate a decent freedom

HERBICIDE USE CANCELED

The office of Facilities has announced
that, contrary to rumor, it does not use
the terrible herbicide 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D
nor is it planning to use those herbicides
this summer. The two herbicides, which
are used together, first came to public attention when they were used as Agent
Orange to defoliate Vietnam.
The reason that the herbicides were being considered for use was that a weed
named Tansy Ragwort has to date defied
any effective method of control on
campus. At present the weed is removed
by hand, according to Director of Facilities Jerry Schillinger.
In related action Schillinger also has announced that two bids are being let out
for construction projects on campus. The
bids are for landscaping on the parkway
and construction of permanent parkway
signs to replace the temporary ones now
there. The announcement was made, according to Schillinger, in response to criticism of the Facilities office that it has
been secretive. The bids will go out sometime next week.

S&A BOARD ALLOCATES $1,900

The Journal received $1,300 to supplement its summer budget from the Services

on Thursday July 18. Also awarded
money was radio station KAOS, which
received $600.

Rod Marrom, head of Campus Security
says that funds have been requested for
the new biennium to create two new fulltime positions. Marrom says this would in
no way affect the hiring of student personnel. who he describes as, "superb students in my book."
Marrom says the reason for the new
positions is due to the fact that the security force is understaffed at the present
time, especially on weekends and at night.
The student arm will continue as a support for the full-time person, as opposed
to the current policy of the students as a
core group at night. Marrom says this is
to take some burdens off the students
who have too much unfair responsibility.
As for current student security officers
being rehired in the fall, Lt. Gary Russell
stated, "There is talent in the community
we have yet to tap, this is a learning
experience that should be shared more
throughout the community." He said
there will be no guarantees for rehiring,
and each student, whether new or reapplying, will be asked to submit an application for evaluation.
There were some student security officers who expressed dissatisfaction with
Russell's explanation.

last Friday some 150 people gathered
for a weekend long retreat in the Evergreen residence halls with Swami Muktananda. The Swami, known simply as Baba
(which means father), is currently on his
second world tour, the first having ended
four years ago.
The actual time with Baba was somewhat short and the majority of the weekend was led by Professor Jain, Baba's
disciple and translator since Baba speaks
very little English. Professor Jain led
chanting and meditation and taught the
visitors, many of them new to this sort of
thing, how to act in front of a perfect
master, Baba. "You do not talk in front
of Baba, you do not point your legs
towards Baba, and please don't try to
touch Baba's feet when he's walking."
When in the presence of Baba, people
were held spellbound. Baba would tell
stories about Gurus and mantras, his
voice rising and falling as if singing and
Professor Jain at another microphone
translating when Saba turned to him.
later, his disciples, when in a session
called Sharing, would give their impressions of how Baba had touched their
lives. As Harvey Freeman, a health food
store proprietor from Portland said: ". · . .
and if you think that you're sitting in the
presence of a great holy man, a guru,
forget it. That's god sitting up there, and
don't you forget it. Realize it."

Cover story
Ct>ntinut•d from pagl' 1

Basically, the Democratic primary race
is between Bonker and State Senator Robert Bailey. The fifty-five year old Bailey
was Julia Butler Hansen's Western Administrative Assistant for the past seven
years.
1 Not only does Bailey have Congresswoman Hansen's endorsement and as a
natural result, many of her votes, but he
has money and name familiarity in the
district as well.
Bailey has been in the Statehouse since
1950. He started out as a Representative,
moving over to the Senate in 1956, where
he served as chairman of the Senate
Democratic Caucus for thirteen years. Just
that point, his chairmanship of the caucus
for so long, gives Bailey an enormous
amount of credibility in the eyes of many
of the district's voters.
Liked by Democrats and Republicans
alike, Bailey is often credited with holding
the Senate together when the political glue
comes undone.
It is obvious that Bailey took care in
planning the steppingstones to Hansen's
seat. He obtained the services of State
Representative Robert Charette, Majority
Floor Leader, as his campaign chairman.
Bailey doesn't seem to be doing too
poorly in terms of financing either, compared to the other Democratic candidates.
It is hard to determine where big business and labor are going to throw their
support until after the primary election,
but Bailey has received over $10,000 in
contributions to date. He was given $250
by the AFL-CIO, and $500 from First
Associates, the campaign organization for
Seattle First National Bank.
Another $1,000 contribution is listed on
his public disclosure form as coming from
the Tacoma Fund. The Transportation
and Political Education League of Washington D.C. donated $300 to his
campaign bid. Bailey also received $100
contributions from at least three state senators.
Bailey's campaign literature is smooth.
It is oriented towards the rural, semi-conservative Third District electorate. He
places almost no emphasis on campaign
reform, one of the more pragmatic campaign issues in this election.
Bailey does support a comprehensive
national health insurance program covering basic health care costs, and he wants
to see a pension vesting and portability
system that protects the interests of workers more so than is now the case.
Bailey's number one campaign issue
however, is inflation. His campaign literature is full of quotable quotes like the
following:
"The too cozy relationship with the oil
industry, the wheat give-away to Russia,
the real and contrived shortages, the blind
disregard of energy supplies, the arrogant
impounding of vitally needed federal
8

funds . . . the scuttling of programs for
the disadvantaged, these are the sources
of a threat to our economy more severe
than any disaster of the thirties. Inflation
won't go away - it must be confronted
and stopped." But Bailey does not go on
to say how.
The other three Democratic candidates
don't really have much of a chance in the
eyes of most political observers in the
state.
Ted Bottiger, a forty-one year old State
Senator from Tacoma will probably come
in a comfortable third in the Democratic
primary. Lawyer Bottiger has been in the
State Senate since 1972, and served in the
House for eight years before that.
Honest politician that he is, Bottiger
went even further than the public disclosure law requires. listing his assets and
liabilities on his disclosure form. His net
worth hovers somewhere around $99,000.
He lists a $100 contribution from the
Transportation Political Education League,
$200 less than Sen. Bailey received. The
Teamsters contributed $100, and First
Associates gave him $50, compared to
Bailey's $500. Larry Voshell, head of the
State House Republican Communications
Office, is listed as contributing $10 to
Bottiger's campaign, although that may be
a political joke by a member of the Olympia Political Humor League.
Bottiger lists a campaign deficit of
$11,044, with total contributions of
$1,072. However, since his disclosure
forms were filled out incorrectly, he may
not have known exactly what he was doing when he listed such an enormous deficit. It is rare that a congressional candidate will allow himself to fall so far into
the red so early in a campaign.
Bottiger's campaign brochure has him
sitting in a field with his family and four

cows. On the other side of the brochure,
Bottiger says that the problem with the
Nixon Economy and inflation is, "You
can't expect people to support wage and
price controls when they see oil companies
reporting profit increases as high as 150
percent and more."
He says the lesson of Watergate is that
"more citizens must take an active part in
every level of political campaigns. including the funding. You can't leave it up to
the people who buy $1,000 tickets to
cocktail parties if you expect elected officials to represent you."
The other two Democratic candidates
are Eugene Messer of Vancouver and Bob
Corcoran of Tacoma. Messer is a thirtysix year old bachelor who didn't earn any
income last year. He lives with his mother
in Vancouver, and is in the· process of
writing a book on his campaign experiences working for Hubert Humphrey,
Robert Kennedy and George McGovern.
Messer says he is a strong supporter of
Women's rights, and he thinks the tax
structure is "crying for reconstruction."
Messer says "it is a crime that an entire
oil corporation paid fewer taxes last year
than a janitor working in one of its
multi-million dollar skyscrapers."
On education, Messer says that "funds
for education must come from Federal
and State sources, not from levies and
bonds weighing down the homeowner."
One wonders however where money from
"federal and state sources" comes from in
the first place.
On politicians, Messer says that "it is
time to bum the rubber stamps of a large
number of the committee chairmen and
open the windows of that pompous private club on the Potomac and let some
fresh air in."
To date, Messer has collected some
Cooper Point Journal

$500 in contributions, $460 of it coming
from relatives.
Bob Corcoran, the self-styled TV personality from KTVW-TV in Tacoma is
off and running - for his second congressional bid. He ran against Julia Butler
Hansen in the Democratic primary election in 1972, and lost by nearly 30,000
votes. The forty-four year old Corcoran
had his own talk show for a number of
-years on KTVW. He sold his own advertising to finance the show and himself. It
is rumored that he was under investigation recently for advertising black market
cassette music tapes on his TV show.
Corcoran is basically a Conservative,
with a political charisma similar to that of
George Wallace. The fact that he did pull
over 37,000 votes in the 1972 congressional primary does not totally rule him
out of the race this year, but his campaign style is probably a bit too rough for
the Third District.
Says Corcoran, "My base is with the
people, the five and ten dollar donators,
Mr. and Mrs. Working Stiff who comprise the Third District." Not too many
people in the Third probably consider
themselves working stiffs.
Corcoran says that, "anti-trust action
must be instituted in cases such as the oil
companies' dollar rape of the people, and
as a circuit breaker to help stop the rising
prices that are usually followed by numerous labor strikes."
Corcoran says he is opposed to federal
land use planning, but he supports local
land use planning.
On politicians, Corcoran said that "the
people are tired of the same old hacks
that have been part of the problem. In reviewing the other candidates, all have
lived from the public trough far too long.
Their voting records do not inspire public
confidence, or deserve public confidence."
Corcoran is a five and ten dollar politician to be sure. Most of his donations
are under $25, with none of the $571 total
contributions over $100 individually.
Last but not least is the Republican
candidate for congress, A. Ludlow
Kramer.
Kramer, the forty-two year old swashbuckling Secretary of State was the
youngest official elected in the history of
the state, at age thirty-two. Kramer is
now serving his third term as Secretary of
State after a stint as a Seattle City Councilman in the early 1960's.
Kramer has done more with his present
office than most previous Secretaries of
State. He has implemented the Voters
Carididate Pamphlet with distribution to
every home in the state. He has served as
chairman of numerous do-gooder human
rights commissions and councils, and is
generally considered one of the more liberal Republic,ans in the state.
Kramer appears to be the natural shooin for the Republican nomination, and he
has no opponents yet in the race, although
a three time Republican congressional
July 25, 1974

LUDLOW KRAMER

with

loser, Skip McConkey, is expected to announce his candidacy for the Republican
nomination in the next few weeks.
Lud Kramer has by far the most highly
organized and expensive campaign of all
the candidates. To date, he has drummed
up over $34,000 in campaign donations,
$15,000 of which came from a $100 a
plate dinner last May with Gerald Ford as
the keynote speaker.
Although the Gerald Ford dinner
brought Kramer a lot of publicity, it may
not necessarily be the best kind. Aligning
oneself closely with the White House is
not a fashionable thing to do now, and
even if it were, holding the dinner last
spring represents too early a peak for
Kramer's campaign.
Kramer's association with the Patty
Hearst food giveaway also did not bring
him the kind of positive publicity he
needs now. As Newsweek put it, the man
on the street doesn't want to know what
Kramer thinks about taxes or log exports,
they want to know about Patty Hearst.
Kramer's campaign is slick and highly
efficient, or so it appears. He is averaging
over $2,500 a month in campaign management salaries.
His contribution list is also formidable.
He received a ·$3,000 contribution from
Nelson Rockefeller. First Associates, the
political arm of the Seattle First National
Bank, contributed $500 to Kramer's campaign, making sure they covered both
Democratic and Republican bases.

Vice President Gerald Ford
Norton Clapp, best known for his
Weyerhaeuser empire, contributed $200,
making the log export issue in the state a
particularly sticky one for Kramer. Peter
Canlis, owner of the expensive Seattle
restaurant also kicked in $100.
There is little doubt that Kramer is
going to win the Republican nomination,
but he is running in a basically democratic district, and he is up against tough
competition in the general election.
It is too soon to lay odds on the election, but there is no reason why a few
preliminary predictions cannot be made.
The Democratic Primary is basically
between Don Bonker and Sen. Robert
Bailey. Bonker has the Kennedy charisma
and a good set of walking shoes, which
just may be enough to bring him through .
He says the right things most of the time,
and is honest enough to admit when he
doesn't know all of the answers all of the
time.
Bob Bailey has been around the state
for a long time. For those voters who
liked Julia Butler Hansen's voting record,
it is safe to say they'll like Bob Bailey's as
well. Not only does he have her endorsement, but he has some of her supporters'
money too. Bailey won't be running the
kind of grass-roots campaign that Bunker
will, but then he doesn't need to.

Vancouver bachelor doesn't have :much of

·AMERICAN·
PERSPECTIVES
BY NICHOLAS H. AlliSON

A false peace
Our long and agonizing war in Vietnam
was one of the most divisive and difficult
issues this nation has ever had to confront. It was with the promise of ending
our involvement there that Richard Nixon
was elected in 1968 and, having failed to
do so, again in 1972. But although most
Americans were dissatisfied with the way
things were going in Southeast Asia by
1972, the man wh9 promised immediate
and unconditional withdrawal of our
troops was roundly defeated in his bid for
the Preside!lcy (there were other issues, to
be sure, but Vietflam was the one which
was most widely identified as the crucial
difference between McGovern and Nixon).
What most Americans wanted was Nixon's "peace with honor," whatever that
meant - extrication from the messy and
complex war, without the disturbing reevaluation of our role as leaders of the
free world which McGovern's policies implied. America was ready to act as if Vietnam was a mistake, but was not ready to
admit it or to find out why it happened.
So a new myth was evoked to replace
the old one about our . intervention there
being necessary and honorable. The new
one, which has proved more durable than
the old since no dramatic events are· currently taking place to deflate it, is that
our disengagement was the result of effective military action and skilled diplomacy,
and that our legacy there is a strong Saigon government able to hold its own
against a sufficiently cowed North Vietnam. This is dangerous nonsense.
One example of the ways in which we
are still being deceived is the story of the
bombing of Hanoi over Christmas of
1972. The Nixon administration's explanation of this act was that the Communists
were being recalcitrant at the conference
table, and it was necessary to show them
that we meant business. But facts recently
made available reveal that Hanoi had
agreed to the cease-fire terms the preced=
ing October, and it was Saigon who
needed to be convinced that \Ye would go
to any lengths in support of her - including bombing the enemy's capital. The
10

agreement was signed in January.
Our unwillingness to admit the hard
truth about our decade-long Vietnam imbroglio - in the words of columnist Anthony Lewis, "that we made a mistake,
that our intervention was destructive, that
there can be no peace and honor until we
abandon the illusion of a civilizing mission in Vietnam" - is the unwillingness
to confront facts which undermine many
of our assumptions about ourselves .
America's sense of altruism which is
common to many conservatives and liberals, based as it is on a subtle assumption
of our superiority, must be examined and
perhaps revised drastically.
Another aspect of our self-deceptive
neglect of the facts about U.S. action and
influence in Southeast Asia is the lack of
attention given to our continuing military
and economic presence there. In a July 14
Associated Press report from Phnom Penh
about the Cambodian army's difficulty in
finding young men to replace the dead
and wounded there, the United States was
described as having "a major stake in
solving the problem" because, in the
words of an American official. "the U.S.
is paying money and equipping an army .
We want to see that the money is well
spent." On June 6 the New York Times reported the dismissal of Nguyen Van Ngan,
an official of the U.S.-supported Thieu regime in South Vietnam, giving as an explanation that Ngan "had been too vigorous in pressing an anti-corruption drive."
The leaders of the free world are supporting a government whose President dismisses aides for trying to clean up corruption.
We s~ill maintain massive airpower in
Thailand, which is a major anchor of our
military presence in Southeast Asia. The
U.S. Ambassador there, William Kintner,
has said that Congress' attempts to bar
the use of American forces such as these
for combat have fortunately had little
effect because, according to a New York
Times correspondent in Southeast Asia,
the North Vietnamese "prudently pay attention to capabilities, not intentions."

Thailand has a new government, however, and the students who brought it to
power may well help compel a reduction
in the U.S. forces there. At present the
U.S. is continuing to carry on its negotiations about the military bases with the
Thai armed forces rather than the civilian
government, but the government may not
allow itself to be ignored much longer.
Our economic commitments in Southeast Asia are growing rapidly. American
trade with the region has doubled in the
last ten years, and American electronics
firms, banks, oil companies, auto firms,
and other corporations have at least $3.5
billion invested there.
One of the most alarming aspects of
our presenc!e in Southeast Asia is the similarity between the situation now and that
of 1962-3. When asked to compare the
two periods Ton That Thien, a Vietnamese professor who was Ngo Dinh Diem's
press secretary, says, "The basic attitude
of the Americans hasn't changed. Basically nothing has changed - except that
now, thanks to the Americans, we have
on our hands ... a bigger war, in which
the Vietnamese do all the dying." The implication, to Thien and other Vietnamese,
is that in the event of a crisis in Saigon
the U.S. might very well be expected to
step in again. To most Americans this is
unthinkable, but this is partly due to a
lack of awareness of the extent of our
continuing involvement.
The war is not over in Vietnam - the
"cease-fire" for which Henry Kissinger
won half of the Nobel Peace Prize is nonexistent (which was emphasized by his cowinner Le Due Tho's refusal to accept the
prize). And although the U.S. is not still
involved directly in the fighting there, we
have deep military commitments not only
in Vietnam but in Cambodia, Thailand,
and Laos as well. Naturally we are a1l
tired of hearing about Southeast Asia after ten years of painful and divisive news,
but inattention to our government's actions there serves only to give a free hand
to the same military establishment which
involved us so heavily in the first place.

Dixie whistles at nuclear power
BY JAMES DUREE,

JR.

ABERDEEN - The Aberdeen Daily
World for Tuesday, July 9, ran a frontpage announcement that U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Dixie Lee
Ray would stage an appearance on Grays
Harbor the following Monday, July 15.
Madame Chairman Ray (as she prefers to
be called) was to address a 9:30 a.m.
press conference at Grays Harbor College's Bishop Center for Performing Arts
on the issue of "the safety of nuclear production of electricity."
To the substantial dismay of Grays
Harbor's nuclear proponents, Chairman
Ray told the World on Saturday, July 13
(as reported in the Sunday, July 14, edition) that she would be unable to appear
in Grays Harbor as had been scheduled,
due to an important meeting with the Secretary of State and the head of the National Security Council. However, added
Dr. Ray, ''I'm an optimistic person, and
hopeful that I will be able to reschedule
my Grays Harbor appearance for around
August 15," and for the edification of the
people of Grays Harbor, Dr. Ray consented to a telephone interview with the
World. Headlines for the World on
Sunday: "DR. RAY CANCELS MON-

DAY HARBOR NEWS CONFERENCE AEC head, in interview, cites economic
advantages of nuclear plant on Harbor."
According to the World, "Dr. Ray took
stock of many people's wariness of living
close to a nuclear facility, but cited the
economic advantage of locating a reactor
closer to a population center than the
AEC's Hanford Reservation is . . . (Dr.
Ray) 'But the question is, "How much
more do people want to pay to have electricity transmitted over a long distance?"
The most economic thing is to have the
plants as close to the population as possible."' (AUTHOR'S NOTE: Approximately two percent of the power generated by the Satsop nuclear facility will be
delivered to Grays Harbor users, all of
which will arrive via the BP A transmission grid and none directly from the
plant. All the power from the Satsop
plant will be distributed in the same way
as any other power fed by thermal- or hydroelectric facilities in Northwest into the
BPA grid, dstensibly from the Satsop
plant (if operating as scheduled) but practically indistinguishable from power from
any other plant once fed into the grid,
will be delivered to particular users such
as the aluminum companies which
recently secured commitments of "Satsop"

Big change
Most of us can dimly recall a childhood before the penny became an inconsequential piece of change. One cent could buy a
variety of things, and a handful of copper could quickly become a
pocketful of goodies. The downfall of the penny and the rise of
the nickel as the primary negotiable unit was less of a shock than
it might have been. The process occurred slowly over a period of
many years, and we were becoming more affluent. Resultingly almost no one noticed when the penny finally became useful only
for sales tax and Lion's Club gumball machines.
The nickel for years to follow was the child's treasure. One
could buy a candy bar, sometimes two, or a cup of coffee. Two
could purchase a coke, or a comic book, or a phone call. A
pocketful could be exchanged for almost any paper, plastic, or
sugar desired.
The collapse of the nickel was to come faster than that of the
cent. Nonetheless it was cushioned by time, and fattening paychecks, and the fact that its successor, the dime, was only twice as
valuable.
The dime really wasn't around long enough to make any memories before the folks at Ma Bell, Hershey, Coca Cola, SAGA,
etc. (Iemme see, are those all the same folks?) decided to make it
obsolete.
Outside of parking meters, newspapers and coffee machines, the
dime became yet another piece of inconsequential change. Fifteen
cents was now the base price for small commodities, and that

power through loans to the Washington
Public Power Supply System (WPPSS). It
obviously makes '"good economic sense"
to have the nuclear plant located near a
"population center" like Grays Harbor
County (total population approximately
60,000) when virtually all of the power
will be sent elsewhere - to Seattle/Tacoma, Spokane, Vancouver, or to aluminum companies in Oregon.) Evidently to
present an impression of "'neutrality" and
"objectivity" Dr. Ray then "asserted that
she could not comment specifically on the
proposed nuclear power plants at Satsop"
(World, 7 /14/74).
While Dixie's interview in the Sunday
World was being read by Harbor residents, she was busy making more news,
and the Monday (July 15) World featured
another front-page article on the original
topic of her (now-canceled) Grays Harbor
visit: nuclear safety (leave it to Dixie).
"'Says Dr. Ray: NUCLEAR PLANTS
SAFEST METHOD," ran the headline.
Dixie had addressed the Fifth International Congress on Radiation Research in
Seattle; according to Dr. Ray, "Nuclear
power plants are safer, both from a public
health and an environmental standpoint,

usually included an additional penny for the state. If you've been
bracing your pockets for the fast approaching time when twenty
cents would surely be the asking price for that dwindling piece of
chocolate then watch out, buddy 'cause you're already a step behind. Starting this December those nasty machines will demand a
whole quarter for the same munchie, and don't bother waiting for
change.
How long before phone calls, newspapers, and other items follow? How long before the quarter, too, melts into a shrinking obscurity? The wait may be brief.
Meanwhile the political bureaucrats in Washington continue to
look at inflation with horse blinders. They are oblivious to any
trend that can't be seen in a single fiscal year. They base decisions
not on economic realities but on sophisticated and nebulous nonentities. Indicators such as the "consumer price index" or the
"primeinterest rates," are little more than conventional abstractions. Yet the people who should know that are the ones most
fooled.
It is suggested that these so-called economists walk out of their
offices and down the hall to the candy machines, where they
might collect some solid facts. For example, in one decade, the
cost of a chocolate bar has risen from a nickel to a quarter, an
increase of five-fold. I don't know anyone whose wages have
multiplied proportionally.
Even more disturbing is the probable reaction such an increase
will foster. The candy machine folks are obviously confident that
the suckers will sheepishly concede to putting ten more cents in
the slot in order to get the same or less. They're probably right.

GRANTS RECEIVED

The Department of Health , Education
and Welfare's Office of Education awarded
Evergreen a $30,000 grant for Cooperative
Education and another grant of $4,235 for
the Library Resources Program.
The ~rant to Co-op Ed is to improve
the internship program, last year sponsoring more than 570 students in jobs for
which they earned academic credit.
Library Resources' grant will be used
for the acquisition of resource materials in
the subject areas of ethnic studies. selfpaced learning units for the educationally
disadvantaged, and environmental and
ecological studies. This grant will be
matched by Evergreen monies.

The Board of Trustees adopted a resolution to officially establish the Evergreen
Alumni Association, at their July 10
meeting in Spokane. The association will
be under the sanction of the college rather
than an incorporation so that it will be
tax exempt.
Also passed were recommendations
from the Salary DTF and three small bids
,
to building contractors.
The one proposal which was defeated
was the reinstatement of parking fees at
the 1972-73 rate.

NUCLEAR MEETING SET

On Wednesday July 31, at 7:30p.m. in
the Olympia Community Center a recently formed action group, Citizens for a
Sane Energy Policy, will hold its first
public meeting. Mary Hays Weik, a nationally known nuclear power opponent
since 1962 when she became concerned
with Consolidated Edison, will speak and
urge discussion on the nuclear energy
issue. Ms. Weik who is secretary to the
Committee to End Radiological Hazards,
has been traveling throughout the U.S. by
bus this summer to spread the word that
nuclear power is "man's chief enemy."

FRINGE BENEFITS STUDIED

A disappearing task force (DTF) was
called by President Charles McCann on
the subject of employee fringe benefits.
This was a direct result of the Salary DTF
which recommended that existing benefit
programs be reviewed and catalogued,
and that new options available under existing laws be developed.
The July 9 memo asked that the following people serve on the DTF : Dave Carnahan, John Moss, Diann Youngquist,
Lynn Patterson, Ken Winkley, Bea Rockwell, Eva Page, Andrea Matchette, Mary
Nelson. Mark Levensky, Medardo Delgado, Bob Barnard, and Catharine Booth.

a chance. He has little money or name
familiarity in the district, and he has
never before run a campaign. His campaign literature is not too bad, but it is
basically traditional rhetoric that has been
modified to fit 1974.
Bob Corcoran, the self-styled TV personality from Tacoma may be a dark
horse, but he started his campaign fairly
late this year, and just doesn't have the
style of either Bonker or Bailey.
If Bob Bailey wins the Democratic Primary, he will probably win the general
election as well, leaving Lud Kramer with
another two years filing election returns
before he can run for Governor in 1976.
If Bonker wins the primary, then it's a
free-for-all to the finish line. Bonker will
have the edge in good looks and vitality,
while Kramer has a little better name
i.1miliarity and a lot more money.
p

Anything can happen between now and
November, and there are sure to be a few
surprises in the months ahead. The campaign is more one of personalities than of
issues, but it is easy to make an issue out
of personalities.
For that reason, it is best to eye all
politicians cautiously, and make judgments not only on what they say, but on
how they say it as well.

In the interview last week in the Journal
Willie Parson, newly appointed dean, was
misquoted; or more precisely, the victim
of typographical error. Instead of saying
he was "discouraged" with Evergreen
when he first arrived he actually stated, "I
was pretty much encouraged by the type
of rhetoric going around in terms of the
college's commitment to getting nonwhites here."

to result in a catastrophic accident, either.
That simply is not true. But nobody can
say there might not be some kind of accident at some time."
Back in December 1973, Dr. Ray appeared on "Face the Nation;" at that time
she addressed the question of an AEC report ("Theoretical Possibilities and Consequences of Major Accidents in Large Nuclear Power Plants," USAEC Document
WASH-740, March 1957) which speculated on the consequences of a major accident at a large nuclear power station ("in
the worst case, 3,400 killed and about
43,000 injured," WASH-740, p. viii; this
report assumed a reactor of 200MWe capacity, as compar~d with a 1,240MWe capacity for the proposed Satsop facility).
Dr. Dixie Lee Ray then stated: "Now
those speculations (referring to the
WASH-740 report) were based on the
worst possible things that could happen .
. . That worst possible case assumes that
there would be a nuclear reactor in the
middle of a city ... "According to the report itself (WASH-740, p. 25): "It is assumed in this report that the reactor
would be 30 miles from a large city."
When asked about the credibility of Dr.
Ray's assertions of safety for nuclear generation of electric power, one erstwhile
skeptic aptly quipped, "She's just whistling Dixie."
