COSTIGAN PESSIMISTIC ON IRISH FATE
by Gary Plautz
" Sooner or later , like a mali g nant
disorder, these things finally w ear
themselves out, but not after many
casua lties, " is the pessimistic way former
University of Wash in gton professor Giovanni Costigan de sc ribed the present
troubles in Northern Ireland in a speech
at the Capitol Building Monday, Nov. 3 .
Costiga n, whose lecture was sponsored
by tQe University of Washington Alumni
Association, specia lizes in English and
Irish history, Despite irritatingly poor
acoustics at the Capitol Dome, his speech
was well received bv abo ut 200 people.
Costigan dealt exclusively with Northern
Ireland sin ce 1922, the date Southern
Ireland separated from Great' Britain and
became the Irish Free State. The six
cou ntri es of Northern Ireland, though,
remained part of Great Britain and still
are.
Since 1922, li fe has been hard for the
Ca tholi c minority in Northern Ireland.
Protestant5, who make up two-thirds of
the population, have practiced discrimati on aga in st th e Catholics in voting
practices, employment and housi ng. This
abuse of power continued unchallenged,
iC03t.igan sa id , for a lmost 50 years.
Coincident with other civil rights
movements aro und ,the world, the Irish
Civil Rights movement began in 1968,

The bright pamphlet smells of fresh ink
as you riffle through pages, pausing here
and there to admire a ca lli graphy design
or picture. You q uickly examine the titles
of the various program offerings, nervously an ticipating the program 'just for
you.' Nothing seems to click. The time:
Spring 1976,. The subject: . the new
Ca tal di; Supplement. So what do you do?
Rush to the dean's office and demand an
offerin;; in your area. No. You missed the
boat - anything you could have done
would have been be tween th e first day of
sc hool and Dec. 1. 1975.
With thi s in mind. a group of 55
Evergreen students met wit h Academic
Dean Lynn Patterson yesterday at 3 pm in
Lib . Lounge 2100. Patterson ca ll ed the

and was centered around students in the
univters iti es, he sa id . Irish Catholics, he
sa id , saw ma ny s imil a~it i es between their
situa tion as an oppressed minority and
the situation of blacks in the United
Sta tes, a nd M art in Luther King was one
of their heroes.
Th e Civil Rights movement was
peacef ul, but was met with violence by
Prote sta nt authorities and vigilantes.
Howeve r, as a res ult of the c ivil rights
ag itation, Iri sh Protestants and the British
g r a nted some ba sic reforms to the
Catholics in 1969 . But then the violence
started aga in .
Cost igan lays special blam e for the
renewed violence in 1969 on a Protestantsuprem ist group called the Orange Order.
These people attacked Catholics in their
ghettos a nd, in a sense, were the force
prompting the radical Irish Republican
Army (IRA) to begin taking violent
action.
The IRA came into play in late 1970. An
illegal group in both Northern and
Southern Ireland, the IRA is sp lit into two
gro ups. One is ca lled the "Officials," their
Marxian-Social ist group willing to use
limited violence to achieve their goals .
The other is ca lled the "Provos," a group
that .practices all-out, indiscriminate war.
Costigan cal led the Provo s "fanatical

meeting with students appointed by their
programs to "act as a consultative pool in
the curriculum planning process."
Patterson unfolded the p lan to determine long-range curriculum at Evergreen.
She exp lained that each fa culty would be
expected to commit themselves to areas
for next year and the following year,
ena bling students to move away from the
'element of surprise' unique to Evergreen's
curricu lum.
Students expressed frustrati on with
common and serious problems here, one
of which is individual contracts. Contrac ts are difficult , often impossible to
sec ure, because of lack of faculty expertise
in the area, faculty who don't really 'ca re '
wha t you have to say, and faculty who
agree an d then back out at the I;]st

minute .
Faculty hiring, alt hough not an area of
Pa tterson's responsibility, was impossible
to avo id ii1 discussin g curriculum planning. In Evergreens' system, there is no
tenur e, a nd faculty operate o n a
three-year con tract basis, go in g through
eva luation every year. It was pOinted out
that in Evergreen's five yea rs of operation
not one fac ulty person has been fired.
"The law of averages," said one observant
stud ent. "defies those statistics."
St ud e nt - initiated program s were the
ob ject of the most questions. Student
cr~ated programs have been , a t besi, a
frustrating exper ienC'e here in th e past . T o
avo id thi s co n f usio n and frustration
Pa tterson advises interested students to
formulate their ideas, a ttra ct a faculty
pers<'n who is a t least willing to help

them further design it, and present it to
her on the 'committment' form all faculty
are being asked to fill out by Nov. 15.
The abso lute fin a l date for program
proposals is Dec. 1. with most decisi ons
being made by January .
There was tension with in th e grou p.
Students are legitimately concerned a bout
where Evergreen is heading and how it
can better meet student's needs and
desi res. Pa tterson urged studen ts int ersted
in ha ving a n yt hing to d o with Evergreen 's
fut ur e to re a d th e 1975-76 Geoduck

Another meeting w ill take place in

the opposing groups in Northern Ireland ,
such negotia tions are at a stalemate now ,
sa id Costigan.
"If Britain gets out," he said, "there w ill
wholesa le massacre of Catholics - even if
they are not in the IRA - by the
P rotestants. "
Right now , Costigan is very pessimistic
regarding the possib le reso lutio n of the
Irish problem.
"By January 1, Ireland w ill be in its
eighth year of fighting. There is no end in
sight , and the situation is worse than
ever."

The British government, under new
Conserva tive Party leadership, finally
acted in Northern Ireland in 1971. In
August 1971. the British attempted to
wipe out the IRA by arresting its leaders .
They arrested 2,000 Ca tholics, but none
were leaders of the IRA, and as a result ,
v iolence escalated because of this use ot
police power.

I'sil ocybin mushro oms on campus . Mu shroo ms o i t his ty pe

Fall is the harvest season, and here on campus man y people arc
interested in harvest ing the sm a ll brown psilocyb in mushroom.
However, mushroom identification can be d ifficult and dangerou s,
especia ll y to the beginner. If you are considering goi ng out to
hunt the Psilocybe, you should know that in this area are found
mu shrooms of quite similar appearance , which are among the
most deadly species known,
Galerina aLltLlmnalis is a small brown mushroom with a brown
spo re print , like some psilocybins. It ha s a slight pellicle a nd th e
base sometimes tends to be bluish. Conocybe {ilaris is 'also sma ll
and brown with a brown spore print. Bo th occur here in the
Northwest. and Ga lerina aLltLlmnalis is plentiful on campus. These
tw o species contai n cy c\opept ides , deadly poisons whose
symptoms appear too late (10 to 14 hours after ingestion) for
successfu l treatment. After sharp abdominal pains , violent
vomiting, and diarrhea, the victim appears to improve, then
worsens a,nd dies in seven to ten days of massive liver and kidney
failure.
To avoid thi s miserable and painful brand of death, psilocybin
hunters should exercise the greatest care to positively identify a ll
mushrooms before eating them . Spore prints can vary among
individuals of a species~ and any doubtful mushroom shou ld be
su.b mitted to an expert for analysis .

REFLECTIONS
To the Editor:
Reflections on "Alice Doesn' t
Day" by a Fem inist Frustration, sadness, depressio n, a nger. Feel ings expressed in
dozens of written pages to my self, and, fiJ1ally, action. The
negat ive overtones of the day
did have some positive effec ts on
some of us.
We thought we were winning
ma jor bat tl es - State's ERA
passed, ~etting the Rape Law
comp letely changed, helping Joanna Little's defense, etc. - legal
causes .

This afternoo 1 I was having
coffee w ith my neighbor, Phy lli s,
and she showed me a letter written to the Daily Olympian conce rning a Senate bill, no. 626,
introduced by Senator Mondale .
The hill's intent is [0 make it
mandatory for all children agl:s
two to five to attend a chil d
ca re center run by the fede ral
government .
Though there is a great need
for many more federa ll y funded
day care centers, the thought of
mandatory attendance, by all
children two years and l.~ , can't
help but bring to mind that thi5
is one step further towards a
Fascist government.
I believe this bill, if passed,
would have a profound influence
on many members of this community, eve n if they do not have
chilJ ren now.

not ru n a news article o n his

a group critical of Camejo's politics. With thi s as the o nly a rticle, the ca mp us was left with no
idea of the concrete politics of
Camejo and his a nd the Socialist

T he Young Soc ia li st All iance

in thi s matter is not with them

I hope th is omission will be

us back to rea lity . The women's
movement has fa iled to show
that the real threats within thi s

than any thin g the women's
mover:nen t could do. By trying
to "not be offensive;" we fail to
SC RE AM t he real "offe nsive"

LOST BOOK
To the Editor:
I'm writing you because you
seem to be a partial suppository
for problems such as mine a nd I
don't want to miss any chances.
The person I feel the most real
kinship to in this world recently
left our campus for a year overseas . Just before her departure
from Los Angeles, she mai led me
a buok I had been hoping to acquire for some tim e. The book is
even more special to me because
she wrote a message for me on
the firs t page of the book which
expressed her feelings abo ut the
times we have shared together.
Well, as you may have
guessed by now, this book has
recent l y disappeared. It was
placed o utside of an apa rtm ent
o n the first floor of Dorm D
(perhaps unwisely) by a fri end
and hasn't been seen since.
I'm not interested in knowing
who took it, I would just like
my book returned, Please . . . If
you have it or know where it is,
put it back where you found it
o r leave it in seminar room Lib.
.,1504 which is always open. It's
entitled The Gentle Tasaday. If
you have it and would like to
fin ish reading it (it's really very
fascinating)' fee l free to do so.
But it means a grea t deal to me,

THE ALPINE LAKES AREA:

PUBLIC SENTIMENT AND THE GREAT COMPROMISE
by John Dodge
Public sent im ent is everything .
"WiJh public sentimen t, nothing can fail;
mril W1rlldm~ ir; l i\>athih~' ca,fcfucceed.
-- Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)

1975 was to be the year of reckoning on
the future of the Alpine Lakes region in
the Central Cascade Mountains. But Congress has yet to enact legislation, d\1e
largely to the fai lure of the Washington
State's congressioJ1al delegation to finalize
an acceptable proposa l for House consideration.
At stake is more than one million acres
of pristine wilderness area between SnoQualmie and Stevens Passes. The Alpine
MketJ1!legion abounds wi th granite peaks,
gl~~!!1r scu'lpture, and over 600 lakes. The
"Washingto n A lps" have reached legendary fame; not only as a n ecosystem of
primitive beau ty, but also as a territorial
dispute between conservationists and allied timber interests.
HOW MANY ACRES
The battle over the Alpine Lakes region
is over acreage. How much land should
be preserved as wilderness area? How
much land should be managed for mul tirecreational use, for timber harvestiJ1g or
mining? The Great Compromise to please
all vested interests has yet to materialize.
The task rests in the hands of politicians.
At their disp~sal are over 45 years of
studies, proposals and related legislation.
1930 - The National Parks Service
surveyed the Washington Cascades
and proposed the creation of a threemillion-acre "Icy Peaks Park," stretching from Mt. Baker to Mt . Adams.
1946 - The Regional Forester designated 256,000 acres as the Alpine
Lakes Limited' Area_
1963 - Conservation groups proposed an A lpine Lakes Wilderness
Area of 334,000 acres which would include peripheral recreat iona l areas.
1965 - The North Cascades Study
Team recommends two areas for wilderness classification - the Alpine
Lakes (150,000 acres) and the Enchantments (30,000 acres),
1967 - 68 - The Washington State
congressional delegation coord inated
legislation that resulted in the creation
of the North Cascades Nat ional Park,
Ross Lake and Chelan Recreational
Areas, Pasayten Wilderness and Glacier Peak Wilderness.
1970 - The Alpine Lakes ProtecJ

tion Society (ALPS) proposed a
926 ,400 acre National Recreational
Area with a 364,480 acre wilderness
core area.
1971 -:- .T~e\'V as/lington delegation
asked the Chief of the Forest Service
to proceed with development of a Forest Service plan fo r classification of
the Alpine Lakes region.
1973 - Sen. Henry Jackson and
Rep . Lloyd Meeds introduced joint legislation in Congress to claSSify part of
the Alpine Lakes region as wilderness.
A PARADE OF BILLS
In summary, the bills up for consideration a re :
"B ill A" - The Forest Service regiona l
office plan proposed a single uni t A lp ine
Lakes Wilderness Area of 285,000 acres
with a peripheral, multiple- use management a rea of 639,000 acres .
·'Bill B" - A merger of two similar bi ll s
in w h ich a coal iti on of conservatio n
groups - including Sierra Club, Friends
of the Earth , North Cascades Conservation Council a nd ALPS - requested a
single wilderness area of 585, 000 acres
wi th a peripheral area, thereby bringing
1,012,000 acres under the protective management of a Nat iona l Recreation Area
(NRA).
"Bill C" - An alliance of timber a nd
mining interests wit h o utdoor recreation a lists such as ca r- campers, rockhounds,
and four-wheel drive clubs, suggesting a
two- unit wi ld erness plan (the Alpine
Lakes - 172,000 acres - and the Enchantment Lakes - 44,000 acres). The
two wilderness units wou ld be divided by
a non-wilderness corridor.
While all three bills provide for an Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area, there are crucial differences among them, Proponents
of the timber industry bill suggest the
smallest wilderness area and neglect the
inclusion of a surrounding area for unified management or recreat ional use. The
Forest Service bill takes into consideration
the lands around the wilderness area.
However, it is common practice in Forest
Service land management to finance land
used for recreatio nal activities through the
sale of timber from federa l lands. Only
the conservation ist's proposal provides for
a protective zone of recreation land surrounding the wilderness area.
Ownership of land in the Alpine Lakes
reg ion represents a major obstacle in arriving at the "Great Compromise." Boise
Cascade, Weyerhaeuser, Burlington Northern and the Pack River Lumber Co. own
231,000 acres of land in the Alpine Lakes

area . Most of these corporate land holdings are checkerboarded with federally
oWJ1ed lands, making unified land manageme nt a ll the more difficult.
RUSH TO WILDERNESS
T here is no doubt of the notoriety and
popularity of the Alpine Lakes mounta in
country. The region is within one-hour
drive of over 2,000,000 citizens of Washington. Forest Service studies show the
Alpine Lakes area receives more recreational use than the three Washington
State national parks combined. In 1956,
an esti mated 300,000 visitors came to the
Wenatchee' Na tional Forest. Th is year's
figure approaches 3,000,000.
The Enchantment Lakes area - a legendary grouping of lakes over 7,000 feet
high among the jagged Cashmere Crags of
the Stuart Range - sees up to 250 visitors
o n a summer weekend. The climb is arduous - eleva tion gain of 5,400 feet in
ten mi les - but the desolate splendor of
the mo untainous terrain and the multi colored lakes make the trip worthwhile. I
coun ted 55 cars in the parking lot at the
trail's head this summer. More than half
of the cars had out of state li cense
.

During my stay in the Alpine Lakes expanse this summer, it seemed many of my
campsites were sites of controversy. At
Eigh t Mile Lake - a blue-green alpine
lake nestled in a bowl of granite rock and
glacial peaks - the Pack River Company
wants to build a logging road where now
only a slender trail lin ks the lake to secondary roads. A t p,190-foot Lake Caroline on the slopes of Mt. Cashmere, a developer recently declared his desire to
build two ski lodges on privately owned
land. His plan called for helicopters to fly
the skiers to the lake that took me hours
to reach on blistered feet.
A GATHERING OF SENTIMENT
Early this summer, the House Interior
Subcommittee on National Parks and Recrea tion held public hearings in Washington State on the future of the Alpine
Lakes. The first hearing took place at the
University of Washington campus June
28. The committee held ano ther hearing
in Wenatchee on July 19. If nothing else,
the hearings pointed out a marked difference in op inions expressed on each side of
the Cascades.
More than 1,000 people jammed the
HUB ballroom to witness the face-off between conservationists and the timber industry. Speaking both as government officials and veteran back-packers, Governor Dan Evans and Seattle Mayor Wes

Uhlman both gave testimony in support
of the ALPS-sponsored bill. Evans leveled the charge of "legislation by chain
saw" agai nst timber companies who continue to push logging roads deep into the
A lpine Lakes wilderness area pending legislation. Evans' testimony reflected the
majority's sentiment at the hearing. T he
timber industry, Department of Natural
Resources, a nd recreational-vehicle own ers also pleaded their <;ase for a smaller
wilderness zone - 216,000 acres - which
would not affect the peripheral area for
cont inued lumber harvesting and mining
exploration. Not a single w itness testified
in favor of the Forest Service plan.
In Wenatchee, the legisla tors, which in cluded four representatives from Washington Sta te, heard testimony from over 200
people . The majority sen timent was proindustry. The Pack River Lumber Co. ,
operating three mills in Chelan County
and consistently the most outspoken opponent to the conserva tionist position,
said a Nationa l Recreation Area would
cost Chelan County as many as 1,222
jobs . Conservationists argued that out of
100 million board feet of lumber processed
in Chelan County last year, only seven
million board feet came from the Alpine
Lakes area. The Forest Service said the
creation of a National Recreation Area
woul d reduce allowable harvests in Washington State by 45 mill ion board feet.
Consen:~~i6nists countered this statistic
with one ~f their own -~ only six-tenths
of one percent of the 1972 state timber
harvest was involved.
So the Congressional delegation, armed
with statistics and a visceral feeling for
the emotional impact of the controversy ~
trekked back to Washington, D. C. The
poli tical football, known as the Alpine
Lakes legislative proposal, was tossed to
the Washington State congressional delegation for finalization.

REFLECTIONS
To the Editor:
Reflections on "Alice Doesn' t
Day" by a Fem inist Frustration, sadness, depressio n, a nger. Feel ings expressed in
dozens of written pages to my self, and, fiJ1ally, action. The
negat ive overtones of the day
did have some positive effec ts on
some of us.
We thought we were winning
ma jor bat tl es - State's ERA
passed, ~etting the Rape Law
comp letely changed, helping Joanna Little's defense, etc. - legal
causes .

This afternoo 1 I was having
coffee w ith my neighbor, Phy lli s,
and she showed me a letter written to the Daily Olympian conce rning a Senate bill, no. 626,
introduced by Senator Mondale .
The hill's intent is [0 make it
mandatory for all children agl:s
two to five to attend a chil d
ca re center run by the fede ral
government .
Though there is a great need
for many more federa ll y funded
day care centers, the thought of
mandatory attendance, by all
children two years and l.~ , can't
help but bring to mind that thi5
is one step further towards a
Fascist government.
I believe this bill, if passed,
would have a profound influence
on many members of this community, eve n if they do not have
chilJ ren now.

not ru n a news article o n his

a group critical of Camejo's politics. With thi s as the o nly a rticle, the ca mp us was left with no

LOST BOOK
To the Editor:
I'm writing you because you
seem to be a partial suppository
for problems such as mine a nd I
don't want to miss any chances.
The person I feel the most real
kinship to in this world recently
left our campus for a year overseas . Just before her departure
from Los Angeles, she mai led me
a buok I had been hoping to acquire for some tim e. The book is
even more special to me because
she wrote a message for me on
the firs t page of the book which
expressed her feelings abo ut the
times we have shared together.
Well, as you may have
guessed by now, this book has
recent l y disappeared. It was
placed o utside of an apa rtm ent
o n the first floor of Dorm D
(perhaps unwisely) by a fri end
and hasn't been seen since.
I'm not interested in knowing
who took it, I would just like
my book returned, Please . . . If
you have it or know where it is,
put it back where you found it
o r leave it in seminar room Lib.
.,1504 which is always open. It's
entitled The Gentle Tasaday. If
you have it and would like to
fin ish reading it (it's really very
fascinating)' fee l free to do so.
But it means a grea t deal to me,

THE ALPINE LAKES AREA:

PUBLIC SENTIMENT AND THE GREAT COMPROMISE
by John Dodge
Public sent im ent is everything .
"WiJh public sentimen t, nothing can fail;
mril W1rlldm~ ir; l i\>athih~' ca,fcfucceed.
-- Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)

1975 was to be the year of reckoning on
the future of the Alpine Lakes region in
the Central Cascade Mountains. But Congress has yet to enact legislation, d\1e
largely to the fai lure of the Washington
State's congressioJ1al delegation to finalize
an acceptable proposa l for House consideration.
At stake is more than one million acres
of pristine wilderness area between SnoQualmie and Stevens Passes. The Alpine
MketJ1!legion abounds wi th granite peaks,
gl~~!!1r scu'lpture, and over 600 lakes. The
"Washingto n A lps" have reached legendary fame; not only as a n ecosystem of
primitive beau ty, but also as a territorial
dispute between conservationists and allied timber interests.
HOW MANY ACRES
The battle over the Alpine Lakes region
is over acreage. How much land should
be preserved as wilderness area? How
much land should be managed for mul tirecreational use, for timber harvestiJ1g or
mining? The Great Compromise to please
all vested interests has yet to materialize.
The task rests in the hands of politicians.
At their disp~sal are over 45 years of
studies, proposals and related legislation.
1930 - The National Parks Service
surveyed the Washington Cascades
and proposed the creation of a threemillion-acre "Icy Peaks Park," stretching from Mt. Baker to Mt . Adams.
1946 - The Regional Forester designated 256,000 acres as the Alpine
Lakes Limited' Area_
1963 - Conservation groups proposed an A lpine Lakes Wilderness
Area of 334,000 acres which would include peripheral recreat iona l areas.
1965 - The North Cascades Study
Team recommends two areas for wilderness classification - the Alpine
Lakes (150,000 acres) and the Enchantments (30,000 acres),
1967 - 68 - The Washington State
congressional delegation coord inated
legislation that resulted in the creation
of the North Cascades Nat ional Park,
Ross Lake and Chelan Recreational
Areas, Pasayten Wilderness and Glacier Peak Wilderness.
1970 - The Alpine Lakes ProtecJ

tion Society (ALPS) proposed a
926 ,400 acre National Recreational
Area with a 364,480 acre wilderness
core area.
1971 -:- .T~e\'V as/lington delegation
asked the Chief of the Forest Service
to proceed with development of a Forest Service plan fo r classification of
the Alpine Lakes region.

BOYCOlT
A number of people have spoken to me lately about their
dissatisfaction with their faculty, seminars, programs and
co ntracts. Often they had protested repeatedly to faculty,
formal pet itions of dissatisfaction , and had been all

If you decide to strike, then make your views know n. Send
let ters to President McCann, Provost Kormondy and the
academic deans telling them clearly why you feel it's necessa ry
to pHltest. Distribute handbills to other students. Don't be
intimidated by the fallacy that good students don't make
waves . Only by making waves and generating inte~st in
education will the educational process keep refining and
growing. More importantly, protest keeps faculty, students and
administration alike from settling into a comfortable blanket of
conformity.
FIRING FACULTY
Students are asked to write evaluations of their faculty at the
end of every quarter (or contract), Good or bad, these
evaluations are then taken into consideration when it's time for
facultly members to be re-hired .... or fired.
In addition to the planning faculty, approximately 125 new
faculty have been hired, according to Provost Ed Kormondy .
Of those, not one has been fired . Is this because the faculty
here are so outstanding that we have no reason to fire them?
Wrong, say many students. Many faculty have received
numerous bad evaluations from both their students and the
faculty they have worked with, say a number of people on
campus (who chose to remain anonymous) .
Yet, those faculty have been re-hired with - what7 A slap on
the wrist? A warning that they'd better shape up in the next
three years (usual length of faculty contracts)? How many
bad evaluations must a faculty member receive until those in
charge of hiring/ firing consider them as a serious criteria for
nat rehiring? Ten? Fifty? A hundred? Or are those evaluations
even looked at seriously?
TENURE
At Evergreen, there is supposedly no faculty tenure, no
faculty hierarchy (head-of-department, professor, assistant
professor, teaching assistant) and the accompanving pecking
order. On paper, the theory of all facultv with equal status Ii>

efficient, logical and up-to-date.
Unfortunately, the faculty here did not suddenly appear
from some Evergreen-faculty-pool-in-the-sky and are often
grounded in a traditional college system. Faculty hired here
first hold an unspoken, "in house" tenure . Faculty hired more
recently have the opportunity to learn the "Evergreen Way",
unlike at other colleges, and usually are not thrown cold into
an unfamiliar teaching situatiqn . However, these new faculty
are subject to the whim of older faculty in the program, who
mayor may not delegate them relaHvely equal duties and
responsibilities.
But there's still that "unspoken tenure", and older faculty
members can become grounded in comfortable academia.
Change can happp.n in the minds of faculty willing to

learning processes. O:her faculty may remain grounded in old
habits, with neither student nor faculty nor administration able
to budge him or her. Then, it's up to the students to say,
"Hey, you're getting academically senilel"
WHO'S IN CHARGE
Who hires and who fir{'s? The pee,ple who judge who stays
and who leaves are the deam and members of the
administration - people who will rotate back into the faculty at
,
the end of their terms.

Meanwhile, studt:nts are co.mplainiilg al'loui fa.tulty; 'serilina·rs " ,;
and programs that don't fit their needs, the faculty complains
of being overworked - and in many cases, they are.
Where is the median? Students are entitled to an education
with faculty who know their subiects and themselves, and who
are willing to work harder than at other colleges to teach
their skills. The faculty are Ion titled to decent working hours
and a sense of accomplishing their . work; not · a sense of
frustration because they are swamped w'itl'l students,
evaluations, book-ordering, DTF's and curriculurr. p~anning~
The solution is not to hire more and more fac.J:ty - we are
already faced with funds lost due to underenrollment and
hiring more faculty to teach a diminishing number of students
seems illogical. On the other hand, can we let faculty who
receive quarter after quarter of bad evaluations and student
complaints stay on salary because they're one of the old guard,
because they bring a big grant to the school, or because they
were once a good teacher at Outer Eastern lJ?
.The solution is to have faculty who are willing to do their
work and a little more, students who will protest when their
program isn't delivering all that they expected, and people that
will work together as partners in education, not dictators and
workers awaiting a mutual coup.
.The solution is to have students and faculty who have the
patience to fight for their own education and have the
determination to work with (and if necessary, eliminate) people
who are settling !,lncontrollably into comfortable academic
- .holes and educational back~aters : .
.The solution is to fight for your own education, whether
you're a student, faculty member, or administrator. And that is
the crux of the original Evergreen philosophy : to fight your
own battles, and make your own way - because if you don't
do it,

known as the ··Meeds compromise bill"

When the state's representatives appeared Oc t. 15th at Evergreen , they assured the audience that they were "close
to agreem en t" on a compromise bill. Ten
days lilter. press releases showed six of
th e seven delegation members in agree ment on proposed legislation . McCormack
remilined the lone dissenter.
The most recent compromise calls for
the establishment of a 920,000 acre, " Icy
Peaks Enchantment Area. " Included with- .
in the proposal is an initial Alpine Lakes
Wilderness Area of 303,000 acres with provISions for procurement of an additional
75,000 acres of intermixed private and
federal lands over the next three years.
The wilderness area would be surrounded
by a multiple land management unit. The
plan is similar to the original Forest Service plan .
Timber interests and their allies disapprove of the bill. Conservationists also refute the proposed legislatio,n .
"We feel there are two basic flaws in
the compromise bill ," said Robert Ordal,
president of the Alpine Lakes Protection
Society. "First of all, the proposed wilderness area is not big enough and second,
there is no provision in the bill for control of some 175.000 acres of intermingled
private. land in the peripheral area. "
The congressmen can't reach a unanimous agreement; conservationists and
timber interests disapprove of the compromise; the public is mind-boggled by
acreage figures ; and the Congress is winding down for holiday recess without acting (yet) on Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area
legislation. Can anybody suggest the compromise to end all compromises?
Sometimes I think the decisions on the
future of the Alpine Lakes should be
made by a Council of Regional Mountains.

Hodel, administrator of the Bonneville
Power Administration, said, without
nuclear power "either homes will be dark
and cold, or factories will close down or
both."
Despite studies to the contrary,
America's "leaders" still maintain steadfastly there is no need to be concerned
about the safety of nuclear power plants.
Washington State Rep . Mike McCormack
is so sold on the idea of nuclear plants
that he says it would be safer to live right

Reactors at Browns Ferry, Ala ., Peach
Bottom, Pa. , Rancho Seco, Calif., and
elsewhere have had even longer shutdowns or operated at reduced capacity because of accidents or defects in the nuclear core or turbine .
• Decommissionin~ : Reactors accumulate· radioactive waste products that eventually reduce their efficiency to a less than
economical level, whereupon the contaminated reactor must be "decommissioned"
- salvaged or sealed off and guarded.
To date, few plants have reached the
30-year decommissioning point - especially the large reactors now being built.
Current estimates for decommissioning
run between $25 million and $70 million
per plant for 1982. But, like fuel reprocessing and plant construction, decommissioning could run into unforeseen difficulties
and even higher costs .
Like s,afety hazards; the rising costs of
nuclear power are gradually coming under
attack by nuclear power critics - both
private and in government.
The industry still contends that the current cost of nuclear-produced electricity is
substantially less than that for other
sources of energy. Its major trade association, the Atomic Industrial Forum, reported in September that the generating
costs for nuclear power stations are only

43 .6 percent of those for fossil fuel plants .
But the data used in this study has been
criticized by the Council on Economic
Priorities, a non-profit research group on
corporate responsibility, in a study requested by a New York congressman. The
Council reports that some utility companies, like Consolidated Edison of New
York , have camouflaged the total costs of
nuclear power - excluding in their calculations such costs as taxes , intere s t
charges and operation and maintenance
- and are underestimating total costs by
at least $90 million.
Nuclear power critics have argued that
the industry would have long ago floundered without massive public subsidies at
the expense of alternative sources of energy . Now, a report from the Congressional Office of Technological Assessment
(OT A), a watchdog group created by
Congress to analyze technological issues,
sharply criticizes ERDA for continuing to
give top priority to the development of
nuclear reactors while ignoring the important area of energy conservation. (Only
two percent of the current ERDA budget
goes to .energy conservation.)
The OT A report points out that expansion of energy supply systems such as nuclear power "will be costly and cumbersome," while energy conservation programs "can have both a rapid and continuing effect."

- WHAT?

Richland in Eastern Washington. Hanford
was started in 1943, producing plutonium
for the original Manhattan Project, and it
began commercial power production in
1963.
Besides the one already in existence at
Hanford, five other projects are either
under construction or going through
application procedures that take about ten
years from initiation to end product.
Two of these projects are being built at
Hanford. They have been approved at
both the state and federal levels, are
scheduled to be completed in the early
1980's and will cost approximately $1
billion each_ The Hanford projects are
. rela.tively easy to get approved because
the site already exists and is remote.
A third project is the Skagit River
Project near Sedro Woolley. The project
has completed state review, but will go
into more hearings before the federal
Nuclear Regulatory Commission in January to consider seismology and alternative power supplies. The Skagit Valley is
an agricultural area of incredible beauty,
and area residents are concerned what a
nuclear plant could do to that beauty.
Two more projects are proposed at the
confluence of the Chehalis and Satsop
Rivers, about 25 miles from Olympia,
Opponents of the Satsop nukes argue that
is would be illegal to empty water used in
the cooling tower into a 58-mile stretch of
the Chehalis which is to protected under
the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
Hearings are continuing over the Satsop
plants before the state's Thermal Power
Site Evaluation Council. Hearings will be
held at- 7pm on Nov_ 5, 6-; 12 and 13 in
the Mighty Oak Room of the Oakliridge
Golf Club near Elma.
THE ECONOMY
But fossil fuels are running out, and our
economy demands mOre and more
energy. Proponents of nuclear power say

that it is the only practical alternative to
meet the nation~s energy needs. They say
it is not feasible to develop programs in
solar, geothermal or tidal power alternatives; it is the least desireable of many
alternatives.
But as the energy-crazed nations of the
world keep running headlong into the
future with ever increasing energy needs,
something has to be done. Either society
must change and leave its energy
dependance behind, or another source has
to be found . Opponents of nuclear power
are calling for the moratorium to answer
questions about safety. But what - as
perhaps is likely - if nuclear fission is
. found' not to be safe under any
circumstances7 What will happen then?
As Dr_ John Gofman has put it : "It is
not a question of making nuclear power
generation safe for people. The insurmountable obstacle is that we cannot
envision any way to make people safe for
nuclear power generation, I short of total
robotization ."

When the state's representatives appeared Oc t. 15th at Evergreen , they assured the audience that they were "close
to agreem en t" on a compromise bill. Ten
days lilter. press releases showed six of
th e seven delegation members in agree ment on proposed legislation . McCormack
remilined the lone dissenter.
The most recent compromise calls for
the establishment of a 920,000 acre, " Icy
Peaks Enchantment Area. " Included with- .
in the proposal is an initial Alpine Lakes
Wilderness Area of 303,000 acres with provISions for procurement of an additional
75,000 acres of intermixed private and
federal lands over the next three years.
The wilderness area would be surrounded
by a multiple land management unit. The
plan is similar to the original Forest Service plan .
Timber interests and their allies disapprove of the bill. Conservationists also refute the proposed legislatio,n .
"We feel there are two basic flaws in
the compromise bill ," said Robert Ordal,
president of the Alpine Lakes Protection
Society. "First of all, the proposed wilderness area is not big enough and second,
there is no provision in the bill for control of some 175.000 acres of intermingled
private. land in the peripheral area. "
The congressmen can't reach a unanimous agreement; conservationists and
timber interests disapprove of the compromise; the public is mind-boggled by
acreage figures ; and the Congress is winding down for holiday recess without acting (yet) on Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area
legislation. Can anybody suggest the compromise to end all compromises?
Sometimes I think the decisions on the
future of the Alpine Lakes should be
made by a Council of Regional Mountains.

Eas.i1y the most controversial and

energy. No energy, no jobs." Or as Don
Hodel, administrator of the Bonneville
Power Administration, said, without
nuclear power "either homes will be dark
and cold, or factories will close down or
both."
Despite studies to the contrary,
America's "leaders" still maintain steadfastly there is no need to be concerned
about the safety of nuclear power plants.
Washington State Rep . Mike McCormack
is so sold on the idea of nuclear plants
that he says it would be safer to live right
ne·xt to one than it would be to drive an
automobile.
. '
But problems are developing with the
plants, not only in the area of safety, but
also in cost (see above.)
Of course, it is the area of safety that
concerns most environmentalists about
the plants .
"Even the most extravagant efforts by
nuclear promoters will fail to convince
people that filthy fission is clean, when in
fact it is the dirtiest possible way to make
electricity. Only nuclear fission makes
poisons so deadly that they have to be

Reactors at Browns Ferry, Ala ., Peach
Bottom, Pa. , Rancho Seco, Calif., and
elsewhere have had even longer shutdowns or operated at reduced capacity because of accidents or defects in the nuclear core or turbine .
• Decommissionin~ : Reactors accumulate· radioactive waste products that eventually reduce their efficiency to a less than
economical level, whereupon the contaminated reactor must be "decommissioned"
- salvaged or sealed off and guarded.
To date, few plants have reached the
30-year decommissioning point - especially the large reactors now being built.
Current estimates for decommissioning
run between $25 million and $70 million
per plant for 1982. But, like fuel reprocessing and plant construction, decommissioning could run into unforeseen difficulties
and even higher costs .
Like s,afety hazards; the rising costs of
nuclear power are gradually coming under
attack by nuclear power critics - both
private and in government.
The industry still contends that the current cost of nuclear-produced electricity is
substantially less than that for other
sources of energy. Its major trade association, the Atomic Industrial Forum, reported in September that the generating
costs for nuclear power stations are only

43 .6 percent of those for fossil fuel plants .
But the data used in this study has been
criticized by the Council on Economic
Priorities, a non-profit research group on
corporate responsibility, in a study requested by a New York congressman. The
Council reports that some utility companies, like Consolidated Edison of New
York , have camouflaged the total costs of
nuclear power - excluding in their calculations such costs as taxes , intere s t
charges and operation and maintenance
- and are underestimating total costs by
at least $90 million.
Nuclear power critics have argued that
the industry would have long ago floundered without massive public subsidies at
the expense of alternative sources of energy . Now, a report from the Congressional Office of Technological Assessment
(OT A), a watchdog group created by
Congress to analyze technological issues,
sharply criticizes ERDA for continuing to
give top priority to the development of
nuclear reactors while ignoring the important area of energy conservation. (Only
two percent of the current ERDA budget
goes to .energy conservation.)
The OT A report points out that expansion of energy supply systems such as nuclear power "will be costly and cumbersome," while energy conservation programs "can have both a rapid and continuing effect."

- WHAT?

Richland in Eastern Washington. Hanford
was started in 1943, producing plutonium
for the original Manhattan Project, and it
began commercial power production in
1963.
Besides the one already in existence at
Hanford, five other projects are either
under construction or going through
application procedures that take about ten
years from initiation to end product.
Two of these projects are being built at
Hanford. They have been approved at
both the state and federal levels, are
scheduled to be completed in the early
1980's and will cost approximately $1
billion each_ The Hanford projects are
. rela.tively easy to get approved because
the site already exists and is remote.
A third project is the Skagit River
Project near Sedro Woolley. The project
has completed state review, but will go
into more hearings before the federal
Nuclear Regulatory Commission in January to consider seismology and alternative power supplies. The Skagit Valley is
an agricultural area of incredible beauty,
and area residents are concerned what a
nuclear plant could do to that beauty.
Two more projects are proposed at the
confluence of the Chehalis and Satsop
Rivers, about 25 miles from Olympia,
Opponents of the Satsop nukes argue that
is would be illegal to empty water used in
the cooling tower into a 58-mile stretch of
the Chehalis which is to protected under
the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
Hearings are continuing over the Satsop
plants before the state's Thermal Power
Site Evaluation Council. Hearings will be
held at- 7pm on Nov_ 5, 6-; 12 and 13 in
the Mighty Oak Room of the Oakliridge
Golf Club near Elma.
THE ECONOMY
But fossil fuels are running out, and our
economy demands mOre and more
energy. Proponents of nuclear power say

that it is the only practical alternative to
meet the nation~s energy needs. They say
it is not feasible to develop programs in
solar, geothermal or tidal power alternatives; it is the least desireable of many
alternatives.
But as the energy-crazed nations of the
world keep running headlong into the
future with ever increasing energy needs,
something has to be done. Either society
must change and leave its energy
dependance behind, or another source has
to be found . Opponents of nuclear power
are calling for the moratorium to answer
questions about safety. But what - as
perhaps is likely - if nuclear fission is
. found' not to be safe under any
circumstances7 What will happen then?
As Dr_ John Gofman has put it : "It is
not a question of making nuclear power
generation safe for people. The insurmountable obstacle is that we cannot
envision any way to make people safe for
nuclear power generation, I short of total
robotization ."

Marcel Hatch felt that "it is an absolute

autonomously ." This line of discussion
raised the possibility of the number of
representatives growing impossibly large.
The group was once again back where
it started and a proposa'i to continue the
discussion next week appeared to be
shaping up when Rainer Hasenstab spoke.
He reminded members that their first
priority , established by the Board of

Rob Knapp proposed that the Third

The Evergreen Political Informati.on
Center's film and speaker series featured a
talk Monday, Nov. 3 by lyle Mercer - a
member of the National Committee
Against Repressive legislation - about
Seriate Bill One, the attempt to revise the
United States criminal code.
S .l has had a long ' history; its
beginnings dating back to 1966 when
lyndon Johnson appointed a commission
to reform the criminal code, last subjected
to major revision in 1909. The commission spent six years at its task, submitting
its report in 1972 to Richard Nixon . Also
submitted was a minority report by
conser~ative members . Nixon sent the
reports to his own team of bill writers,
and the result was S.l.
A long bill. (753 pages), S.l ca'm e out as
an outright rejestion of the commission's
approach to criminal law. It contains
provisions for reinstatement of the death
penalty (mandatory for certain crimes),
increased penalties for the use of
information on government .activities s~,c\_ ,~~ }.h~ r.~J1t~go.n {'apers - by

wiretapping, which allows domestic
wiretapping by presidential order in cases
of national security. Many other provisions embody vague infringements ' on a
variety of constitutional rights.
Mercer spoke in opposition to the bill.
and after giving a brief history and
summary he went on to detail some ways
students can help to prevent its passage.
S.l will come before the Senate for a vote

A lter a long, intense a nd often times
co nfu sin g Wednesday morning meeting,
th e Sou ndin g Boar d finally reached
agreement on a recommendation concerning the choosing of representatives to the
Boa rd of Tru stees. Representatives from
Evergreen 's Third W o rld , women and
Gay communi ties will hopefully be chosen
in time for next week 's Boa rd meeting .
\1ode rat o r Dave Blunt was heard to

back at th e same basi c problems while
tryin g to muddle its way thro ugh the

One of th ose problems was brought to

Board with more representatives than
there are Trustees .
Marcel Hatch felt that "it is an absolute
necess ity that each group be represented
autonomously ." This line of discussion
raised the possibility of the number of
representatives growing impossibly large.
The group was once again back where
it started and a proposa'i to continue the
discussion next week appeared to be
shaping up when Rainer Hasenstab spoke.
He reminded members that their first
priority , established by the Board of
Trus tees, was to choose a Third World
and a woman representative .
Rob Knapp proposed that the Third
World elec t a representative , the women
elect o ne but not from the same group
(s tudent. faculty or staff) , and the third
re pr ese ntative be elected from the
rema ining group by the campus communit y. This passed but when it was noticed
th a t the minorities had all voted against it
th e pro posal was withdrawn.
A new proposal. minus the student ,

with the provision th a t the third positi on
be reserved for Gays.

"The Marginal Man" is a very good
play dealing with Asian history in the
United States on a very personal basis. It

example, they are to ld that they are criminal s fo r being Japanese and must go to
co nce ntra tion ca mp s . Th is and o ther
event s and social pressures are examined
in the play - from the first Asian stereo types to the present ones .
We were also thinking of having Asians
from all different backgrounds - such as
a war bride, a person who lived in an
American concentration camp for Japanese
during World War II, a Vietnamese refu gee, Filipino cannery workers - tell us of
their experiences .
Within the Asian Coalition office (Lib .

can be checked out from the Asian Coalition, or a person can just corne and
browse.

NW PASSAGE IN COURT

Brew Specialties

Nearly everyone has had the experience
of keeping an appointment with a doctor
to ask a question , then forgetting to ask it
or afraid it might be too trivial for a busy
professional.
Now , there's a chance to have some of
those nagging - and perhaps important
- health questions answered at a special
program at the Group Health Coopera tive.
The program - "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Your
Health But Didn't Ask" - is the feature
of the regular monthly meeting of the
Group Health district executive committee. The program, at 7;30 p.m. Monday
in the Doctors lounge of the Group

computer sampling. People who want to
PI' on the S&A Board sign their names on
the Voluntary Services List. To select the
new Board each year, the S&A Board
Secretary feeds these names into the computer, and out come the original names,
now in new numbered , scrambled order.
Those people at the top of the list are
then each interviewed \Jy the S&A Board
Secretary. S / He selects the eight that s I he
thinks would work best on the Board.
The S&A Board Secretary is selected
yearly by the Board.
Through this random and discrete way
of selecting S&A Board members, the in tent is to form a Board "representative" of
the Evergref'n campus. " Representative"
here means specifically that Third World
people and women must be on the Board,
as well as white males, in keeping with
TESC Affirmative Action guidelines. This
is to insure that all parts of the community have a "voice" on the Board.
The money the Services and Activities
Board allocates is the students ' money.
The state legisla ture says that we students
are to ha ve so le control over this money .
Yet we, the students, have no control
over selection of the Board that decides
where our dollars will be spent. The
method used to select the Board allows
the Admini strat ion to say we are making
the decisi o ns, when in fact we are not. To
select a Board at random creates a facade
of "fairness" and "impartiali ty " that
makes a sham of democracy. Inasmuch as
the Administration can point to this mock
"representation " and claim that we are
"fa irly represented, " we students are immobilized from democratically determining the use of our money . The present
met hod of selecting Board members is one
way of avoiding the needs and stifling the
demands of those students whose needs
are most pressing: ThirJ World students,
women , and gays. Democracy is necessary
to get our needs addressed. As long as we
are not allowed to elect our own representatives, we have no power or control.
The process of the individual S&A
Boa rd Secretary selecting Board members
from a random sampling of volunteers
and the concept of representation contradict one another. Persons selected as representatives must be elected by the people
they are chosen to represent; only we students can decide who can best advocate
our needs , Some groups have special
needs that can only be presented by persons the groups elect. This necessitates
representatives of Third World students
elected by Third World students, representatives of women students elected by
women students, and representatives of

gay students elected by gay students. The
computer and the S&A Board Secretary
are not capable of selecting representatives
for either the general student body or the
special groups within it.
The money the Services and Activities
Board allocates belongs to the students.
We students should be deciding the issues
. involved in the allocation of our own
money, and hence the criteria for the
Board's decision-making. Board members

PORTRAIT OF
by Ti Locke
Dave Rogan and Phil Hamilton - the
"Walker Brothers" have covered thousands
of well-publicized miles as "walking
ambassadors" for the Friends of the Earth
(FOE), the environmental group.
They passed throu'g h Olympia In
February of this year on one leg of their
proposed 10-year, round-the-world hike.
They are back on the Evergreen ' campus
now , preparing a color photo show of
their completed travels. The show, which
will start Nov. 9 on the third floor of the
library proper, is part of their contract
with faculty member Willi Urisoeld: "
Dave and Phil's trip, far from being a
publicity stunt for FeE or a Bicentennial
event, is a trip to promote understanding
and awareness of "the environment Planet
Earth" . Dave Brower, head of FOE, talks
about this awareness:
"We can have an environment
without an economy, but not the other
way around."
And the Walker Brothers believe that
it's time to bring back the awareness of
man's relationship to the Earth. which the
speed of the city's pace has taken away.
Yet, they do draw attention to
themselves because they are walking, as
evidenced by a bulging noteb'Jok of
newspaper clippings from various points
along their trip .

WALKE'RS~IJ' "

The trip was not undertaken in totally
serious tones. They, like many other
dyes - in-the -down hikers, carried less
clothing to make room for camera
equipment while subsisting on a multifaceted mush that "kept things moving
along nicely .. "
Nor did they start the trip with old,
friendly gear. They had new equipment,
supplied by such bakers as JanSport,
Nikkon and Sunny Jim . To boot, all
their equipment matched. Many' of their
photos showed th~m . i!,l l ';i!!tcrpjI:l!$, ,tams};,j
shirts, . s.oci:.s" ~hor,ls/",*,~ ~~'ti iiil,aerr
wear too," Dave laughed. "We were into
the twinsy look."
Contrary to their names, the Walker
Brothers weren't always walking. They
had many tales to tell of midnight raids
on gas stations when they had movie
getaways with car doors flapping .
Perhaps their spirit and that of the
Friends of the Earth is best exemplified
in one interpretation of the 78th pqem of
the Tao te Ching:
"The weak will overcome the strong
the supple overcome the stiff
The Truth is a paradox ."
u ,, {.·;tJ(,
The paradox is Dave 'and f'}\i1'5~(V)
walking, the paradox is that they can ' ,', '
bring home an environment argument
better than a hundred picketers, a dozen
pieces of legislation or any six
impassioned speeches .

MajOrit y Leader August Mard esich, a
charge she denied . Both Anderso n and
Mardesich are Everett Democrats.
Chapman - with this his first victory in
a major campaign - is said to have his
sights on bigger things in the future. One
of the possibilities mentioned is the
governorship, if Dan Evans doesn't decide
to run again.
In Thurston County, a levy proposition
that would continue the Medic I program
won easily. But in Olympia, a proposition
that would enable a new downtown
library to be built is still up in the air. By
Wednesday noon , 60.4 per cent of the
voters were in favor of the proposition,
but 841 absentee ballots have yet to be
counted. The proposition needs 60 per
cent 'to pass.
And finally, there were two interesting
races in Seattle for city council seats.
Patricia Bethard, the first Socialist
Workers Party candidate to be nominated
for the general election ballot in Seattle's
history, was trounced by incumbant Sam
Smith. First returns had her losing to
Smith by a rate of almost three to one,
though even that must be a moral victory
for the SWP.
And Chip Marshall, former anti-war
activist in his first attempt at public
office, was defeated relatively handily by
incumbant Paul Kraabel , a former state
legislator.

Voters also rejected SJR 127. a
measure that would have took the
question of setting their own salaries out
of the legislator's hands, and into the
hands of a commission made up of
private citizens. SJR would have also
allowed state legislators to seek other
elected positions, as long as those
positions were not created in the session
of the legislature that the legislator was
serving on.
Also going down to defeat was HJR 19,
an amendment to the state constitution
that would have permitted limited
governmental assistance to the students
attending non-public colleges and schools.
Apparently, voters felt that such a change
would have violated the sacred "separation of' church and state" clause of the
federal Constitution . HJR 19, however,
would have made the state constitution to
\Je_. a:; st.ri!;t, qut. not stricter as it is now,
than .the U .S . .Constitution on the subject
of private school aid.

But it's all academic now, at least until
the Supreme Court makes a ruling.
The death penalty was declared a
winner by the Associated Press in the
incredibly short time of 45 minutes after
the polls closed Tuesday . Walking
through the CAB, a student was
overheard to say, "I can't believe they
could do it; take some bastard out and
just hang the son-of-a-bitch."

the S&A Board Secretary's discretion cannot accomplish this. We need to elect our
own representatives democratically
through our own organizations. To be
consistent with TESC's Affirmative Action goal, the S&A Board must be made
up of 25 % Third World people and 50 %
women; plus the Board should also have
15 % gays to represent gay students, To
be democratic, these Board members must
be elected by the students they represent.
It is only through our own democratic organizations that real representation and
accountability to those represented can be
developed.

Opponents claimed it was a "bad tax",
that it would not save the schools and
would also raise the prices consumers had
to pay for the corporations' goods.
Proponents refuted these charges, saying
314 would cut property taxes, stimulate
jobs and business and would be the only
practical alternative to the school levy
crisis in this state.
Proponents also had other reasons for
supporting 314 . as evidenced by o ne who

computer sampling. People who want to
PI' on the S&A Board sign their names on
the Voluntary Services List. To select the
new Board each year, the S&A Board
Secretary feeds these names into the computer, and out come the original names,
now in new numbered , scrambled order.
Those people at the top of the list are
then each interviewed \Jy the S&A Board
Secretary. S / He selects the eight that s I he
thinks would work best on the Board.
The S&A Board Secretary is selected
yearly by the Board.
Through this random and discrete way
of selecting S&A Board members, the in tent is to form a Board "representative" of
the Evergref'n campus. " Representative"
here means specifically that Third World
people and women must be on the Board,
as well as white males, in keeping with
TESC Affirmative Action guidelines. This
is to insure that all parts of the community have a "voice" on the Board.
The money the Services and Activities
Board allocates is the students ' money.
The state legisla ture says that we students
are to ha ve so le control over this money .
Yet we, the students, have no control
over selection of the Board that decides
where our dollars will be spent. The
method used to select the Board allows
the Admini strat ion to say we are making
the decisi o ns, when in fact we are not. To
select a Board at random creates a facade
of "fairness" and "impartiali ty " that
makes a sham of democracy. Inasmuch as
the Administration can point to this mock
"representation " and claim that we are
"fa irly represented, " we students are immobilized from democratically determining the use of our money . The present
met hod of selecting Board members is one
way of avoiding the needs and stifling the
demands of those students whose needs
are most pressing: ThirJ World students,
women , and gays. Democracy is necessary
to get our needs addressed. As long as we
are not allowed to elect our own representatives, we have no power or control.
The process of the individual S&A
Boa rd Secretary selecting Board members
from a random sampling of volunteers
and the concept of representation contradict one another. Persons selected as representatives must be elected by the people
they are chosen to represent; only we students can decide who can best advocate
our needs , Some groups have special
needs that can only be presented by persons the groups elect. This necessitates
representatives of Third World students
elected by Third World students, representatives of women students elected by
women students, and representatives of

gay students elected by gay students. The
computer and the S&A Board Secretary
are not capable of selecting representatives
for either the general student body or the
special groups within it.
The money the Services and Activities
Board allocates belongs to the students.
We students should be deciding the issues
. involved in the allocation of our own
money, and hence the criteria for the
Board's decision-making. Board members

PORTRAIT OF
by Ti Locke
Dave Rogan and Phil Hamilton - the
"Walker Brothers" have covered thousands
of well-publicized miles as "walking
ambassadors" for the Friends of the Earth
(FOE), the environmental group.
They passed throu'g h Olympia In
February of this year on one leg of their
proposed 10-year, round-the-world hike.
They are back on the Evergreen ' campus
now , preparing a color photo show of
their completed travels. The show, which
will start Nov. 9 on the third floor of the
library proper, is part of their contract
with faculty member Willi Urisoeld: "
Dave and Phil's trip, far from being a
publicity stunt for FeE or a Bicentennial
event, is a trip to promote understanding
and awareness of "the environment Planet
Earth" . Dave Brower, head of FOE, talks
about this awareness:
"We can have an environment
without an economy, but not the other
way around."
And the Walker Brothers believe that
it's time to bring back the awareness of
man's relationship to the Earth. which the
speed of the city's pace has taken away.
Yet, they do draw attention to
themselves because they are walking, as
evidenced by a bulging noteb'Jok of
newspaper clippings from various points
along their trip .

WALKE'RS~IJ' "

The trip was not undertaken in totally
serious tones. They, like many other
dyes - in-the -down hikers, carried less
clothing to make room for camera
equipment while subsisting on a multifaceted mush that "kept things moving
along nicely .. "
Nor did they start the trip with old,
friendly gear. They had new equipment,
supplied by such bakers as JanSport,
Nikkon and Sunny Jim . To boot, all
their equipment matched. Many' of their
photos showed th~m . i!,l l ';i!!tcrpjI:l!$, ,tams};,j
shirts, . s.oci:.s" ~hor,ls/",*,~ ~~'ti iiil,aerr
wear too," Dave laughed. "We were into
the twinsy look."
Contrary to their names, the Walker
Brothers weren't always walking. They
had many tales to tell of midnight raids
on gas stations when they had movie
getaways with car doors flapping .
Perhaps their spirit and that of the
Friends of the Earth is best exemplified
in one interpretation of the 78th pqem of
the Tao te Ching:
"The weak will overcome the strong
the supple overcome the stiff
The Truth is a paradox ."
u ,, {.·;tJ(,
The paradox is Dave 'and f'}\i1'5~(V)
walking, the paradox is that they can ' ,', '
bring home an environment argument
better than a hundred picketers, a dozen
pieces of legislation or any six
impassioned speeches .

Probably more important (because it
effects more people) was Initiative 314. It
would have, if passed, forced corporations to pay a 12 percent tax from their

MajOrit y Leader August Mard esich, a
charge she denied . Both Anderso n and
Mardesich are Everett Democrats.
Chapman - with this his first victory in
a major campaign - is said to have his
sights on bigger things in the future. One
of the possibilities mentioned is the
governorship, if Dan Evans doesn't decide
to run again.
In Thurston County, a levy proposition
that would continue the Medic I program
won easily. But in Olympia, a proposition
that would enable a new downtown
library to be built is still up in the air. By
Wednesday noon , 60.4 per cent of the
voters were in favor of the proposition,
but 841 absentee ballots have yet to be
counted. The proposition needs 60 per
cent 'to pass.
And finally, there were two interesting
races in Seattle for city council seats.
Patricia Bethard, the first Socialist
Workers Party candidate to be nominated
for the general election ballot in Seattle's
history, was trounced by incumbant Sam
Smith. First returns had her losing to
Smith by a rate of almost three to one,
though even that must be a moral victory
for the SWP.
And Chip Marshall, former anti-war
activist in his first attempt at public
office, was defeated relatively handily by
incumbant Paul Kraabel , a former state
legislator.

Voters also rejected SJR 127. a
measure that would have took the
question of setting their own salaries out
of the legislator's hands, and into the
hands of a commission made up of
private citizens. SJR would have also
allowed state legislators to seek other
elected positions, as long as those
positions were not created in the session
of the legislature that the legislator was
serving on.
Also going down to defeat was HJR 19,
an amendment to the state constitution
that would have permitted limited
governmental assistance to the students
attending non-public colleges and schools.
Apparently, voters felt that such a change
would have violated the sacred "separation of' church and state" clause of the
federal Constitution . HJR 19, however,
would have made the state constitution to
\Je_. a:; st.ri!;t, qut. not stricter as it is now,
than .the U .S . .Constitution on the subject
of private school aid.

consistent with TESC's Affirmative Action goal, the S&A Board must be made
up of 25 % Third World people and 50 %

It is only through our own democratic organizations that real representation and

would also raise the prices consumers had

by Lynda Weinman
Exhibits Coordinator
The first Textiles exhibit ever housed at
Eve rgree n is in the Library Gallerv until

tr<l ditional and contemporary quilts.
Most of the traditiona l qui lts are on
loan from O lympian Pat Saar i, who owns

works in a diversit y of styles ; some of
her mo re experim e ntal works in this exhibit are the Blu e Lady, a hand painted

Lydja · a stuffed life- size doll made out of
hand-painted sat in s, and ornamented with
jewe lr y and hose.
Gretchen Girvin works with bold geometric designs made of cotton and machine quilts them. Josy Fay works as large
as possible (she is presently creating a
qui lt that will be over 25 feet long) with
juxtaposed transparent fabr ics and hand
embroidery.
T he show was conceived from a desire
to illustrate some of the movemen'ts in
texti les in past and recent times . The old
quilts are not only overwhelming achievements , but they document one of the
major avenues of artistic expression by
women of the past. The cont,emporary
works represent a new emphasis on concepts, original design and content.
Go see the ex hibit and be dazzled by
the patterns, humor, patience and creativity involved . Try to attend Lyanne's work shop this Sa turday and don't let the art of
quilting die!
Gallery hours: Monday - Thursday 8

FRIENDS OF THE RAG is a varied collection of text ile artists who can all believe
in the motto: "If the art fits, wear it!"
The orga nizat ion started a lmost four years
ago w ith the idea of introducing and famili ari2ing the public with the idea that original wearable design is a n art form and
should be recogni2ed as such.
Th e artists inv olved work in many diftere nt medias : they range from classic
fa shi o n design to exotic costume design ,
to thread painters to sculpturers and cera mi cists. They are expanding their mem bership for their next exhibit Dec. 12 .
Anyone interested in joining them can

Rice is one of the most ancient foods: archealogical evidence
of rice found in Thailand dates back as far as 5000 B.C.
Linguistic and botanical evidence suggests that rice originated
so mewhere in Southeastern Asia. The Chinese word for rice
means "good grain of life" and in many parts of the Far East
the word for rice is the same as the word for life, food, or
agriculture. Rice feeds more than half the world's population,
and its uses extend beyond the range of nourishment into the .
realm of refreshment ";'hen rice is ~sed in making sake and
beer. Rice paper, however, is not made from rice. hilt frnm thp
Rice-paper plant. not at all related to rice.
The generic name for rice is Oryza Sativa; it is a type of
grass. A few other species of Oryza have been domesticated,
but Oryza sativa furnishes nearly all the rice consumed
worldwide. Within the species there are thousands of varieties
which can generally be divided into two types . The ';aponica'
type is short grained, and is moist and sticky when cooked;
the 'indica' type cooks up to be dry and fluffy. Brown rice is
rice from which only the outer husks have been removed:
parboiled or converted ri.ee has had the husk, bran and germ
polished away , and has been parboiled, stea med and dried;
precooked or instant rice is polished rice which has been
cooked, rinsed and dried . "Wild rice" is also available; it is th e
seed of an aquat ic perrenial grass, unrelated to rice.
When compared for nutrition, brown rice comes out ahead
in almos t every aspect. Enriched converted rice ha s inore iron
and thiamine than brown rice, due no doubt to the addition of
these nutrients. The USDA Compositio n of Foods Handbook
makes no mention of inositol or chol ine, two importan t
members of the B-vitamin complex found in w ild rice.
As a grain , rice is not a comp lete prote in : it is deficient in,
iso leucine and lysine, two esse ntia l amino acids , so rice shou ld
be complemented with foods high in these am ino acid s to al low . '"

'/ 3 cup instan t milk. Meat or eggs will also complement the
protein in rice.
There are severa l ways to cook rice; here a re two reliable
methods for brown rice. (For other types of rice, follow the
directions on the package.)
1. Bring to a boil 4 cups water or stock . Slowly stir in 2 cups
rice and bring to a boil once aga in . Cover tightly a nd lower
hea t to simmer. Cook till all the liquid's been absorbed, add a
' . . ' ._. ~ , ' r " _",

2. Put about 118 inch oil or melted butter in the .bottom; of,a ,'pot and heat. Stir in 2 cups uncooked rice. Saute for about 5
minutes, stirring frequently, adding more oil if the rice sticks.
Add 4 cups hot or boiling water to the rice and bring to a boil.
Lower heat, cover tightly and cook as in l. This method
produces slightly less volume but enhances the f1avqr of the
rice, and helps to keep the grains separate.
Cooked rice can be used innumerable ways. Use it as a base
for stuffing green peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, or eggplant,
adding to the rice such things as onions, garlic, cheese,
mushrooms, herbs, wheat germ, nuts, seeds, or chopped
vegetables, along with a little oil.ke following recipe for Baked
Rice with Cheese can be used as a foundation for a more
creative cassero le, employing other colorful and ta sty
ingredients. Butter a baking dish, put in it layers of cooked . ': .
rice, dotting each layer with butter and thinly sliced cheese ."; "'" . .m! i j
Add milk to abou" half the depth of the rice, cover with
"
crumbs or wheat gel 11 , and bake at 360 degrees till the cheese
melts and the crumbs are brown. Additions might be onions,
parsley, tomatoes, chopped ham or ch icken, hard boiled eggs,
cooked spinach, or mushrooms.
For Spanish Rice, Start with cooked rice and add tomatoes,
grated cheese, sauteed o'1ion, celery, peppers and season with
chili powder or mustard uT,til it tastes good.
Rice can be,. heateda with milk or cream, and mixed with
fresh or dried fruit and nuts for breakfast, or mixed with
cream, honey , spices and fresh fruit for desert, or it can be
made into Baked Rice Pudding:
Place 2 cups cooked rice, 1/, cup raisins, '/ , teaspoon grated
lemon rind and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a buttered 1 y, quart
baking dish, Mix together ,/ , cup honey, y, teaspoon vani lla, 3
eggs, 2Y2 cups milk and 'I. teaspoon salt . Pour over rice and
stir to mix. Bake at 325 degr~es for 30 minutes, This pudding
can be varied h" ~dding nuts, dates, chocolate chips, or spices
such as cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. 1 cup of brown sugar can
be used in place of honey, or 1/, cup of mix'!ri honey and

Heard" at 7 and 9: 30 in Lecture

"If," a 1969 British flik (so there,
you prude, whoever you are),
explores the lives and rebellions
of three non-conforming (remember those days) seniors at a
posh British boarding school. It's
very well done, The short, "Let
the Voice ... " caused a local
furor several weeks ago. with a
dummy bomb planted as part of
the production. The local Feds
didn't care all that much for it,
but it's okay, the point was well
made. It's an excellent commentary on America to.day and is
well worth the 50 cents. Don't
miss it.

presents as a part of its newly.started Saturday Film Series,
"Erik the Conqueror" at 7 and
9:30 in Lecture Hall One. A 50
cent &mation i; requested. If it's
the oi'le I think it is, it's an en;oyable, though somewhat gory,
typical rendition of the Viking
Era. If it's not that one, I'm not
sure what it's about. (We are fallible.)

Monday, No.vember 10 The Monday Night Film and
Speaker Series presents "Finally
Got the News" starting at 7: 30
in Lecture Hall One. No admission charged. "Finally ... " is a
forceful documentary presenting
the workers' point of view on'
conditions inside auto factories
in Detroit and the efforts of revolutionary black workers to
build their own union. The film,
"Black Panther" will also be
s hown. Reymond Turner will
speak about black movements
today, including the actions of
the Panthers. The discussion to
follow the two excellent movies
shou ld be just as rewarding.

Tuesday, No.vember 11 Faculty Film Series presents
Akira Kurosawa's "Throne of
Blood" at 2 and 7 :30 p.m. in
Lecture Hall One. It's free. Kurosawa, a world-renowned Japa nese director and producer,
transposed Shakespeare's Macbeth to the world of medieval
Japan, and created what is, in
the minds of most film critics,
the greatest Shakespearean film
ever. If you're into film, Shakespeare, or Japan, don't miss this

ALL HALLOW'S CONCERT '
by Chris Carroll
The stage looked like one of
those caught-me-by-surprise-inthe -study settings, with red and
black peppered carpet laid out,
plants nonchalantly placed about
and an easy chair with a reading
lamp on stage left, exemplifying
the casual, reposeful atmosphere
of Saturday evening's "All Hallows Day Concert," where dilettantes and sk illed musicians from
Evergreen gathered for a few
hours of blues, traditional and
contemporary folk, coalesced
into. a unique, tota lly Evergreen
event.
All was made possible through
the effo rts 'of students Nathaniel
Koch and Rennie Selkirk, with
help from the Gig Commission,
a nd was in response to the nowdefunct attempt of having a talent show made up from the
musical ta len t at Evergreen.
"When the talent show was
canned, we thought we'd get together some music and put on a
show . We were overwhelmed at
the turnout, and wish to thank
a ll who came," said Koch.
That talen t sounded pretty
good as the first act, Henry J.
Boogie (alias Selkirk), walked
out a nd played his first sdng on
his acoustic guitar with pickup.
The rapport was immediate with
Boogie behind his shades, loose
spa ngled tie and lizard-skin
cowboy boots. He played several
dispassionate numbers before in troducing Claudia Mauro, an unassuming harmonica player who
. displayed masterful manipulation
of the blue's harp. The response
to the wailful, flowing stream of
blues was endorsed with shouts
and warm, impressed applause.
The second group consisted of
Lori Hyman, Teasy Ryken and
Dale Russ. :': Blues artists s it ,
country stands," said Lori, as
they commenced to play several
melodious songs of popular and
personal origin, playing a variety
of instruments including the a utoharp, mandolin and violin. My
only complaint with their show
was that it was their on ly one.
Again, the friendliness between
a udie nc e and performers was
genuine.
'Meat a nd Potatoes" was their
title, as Bruce Drager and Jim
Cubbage came on for their set.
They played a couple of songs
written by "t he guy in Peoria"
(Dan Fogelberg), and 'several of
their own. Their nervousness
was apparent, and at first
seemed to lack the proper communication needed in making
their music work. Jim played the
flute nicely, and though they
didn't possess the steadiness of
their predecessors an~ their
vo.ices were erra tic at times, they

contributed well to the wholeness
of the evening .
After a ten-minu te intermissio.n of stretching cramped muscles and easi ng sore tailbo nes (if
you sit on the steps at the next
happening in the library, bring a
pillow), David Holbrook began
it all again with a piece o.n his
jew's-harp, sing-yelling:
"Every time I come to town ,
someone's always
kickin my dog around,
Even thou g h he's just a
ho und , they go tta stop
kick in my dog around."
Finally , that sleek, black Steinway wen t int o act ion as John
Adams came o n, singing " Rock
Me on the Water." Possibly thi s
was the most comp lete performer, w ith his soothi ng piano and
easy guitar playing. And what
was that liquid he'd drink from a
tin pan after each so ng, for his
voice was like silver, clean in hi s
inflections. After a rousing ovation for his "Tuesday Afternoon, "
introduced were Lisa and Chrissie McPhaden, Ralph Allen , and
Fred Zell, combining their tal ents for severa l Irish a nd English
traditional folk music, using violin and mand o lin a nd th e n
finally straight vocals .
The final performance was by
Joseph Schlick , dedicating hi s
so ngs to personal friends. The
concert had lasted almost three
hours, a nd he thanked every one for lasting so long, playing
mellow, echOing pieces. It was
like listening to a friend st rumming and singing, for he fit in
well with the now drained crowd,
a llowing us to wander, as he
did, into the lyrics he sang.
Claudia Mauro made a welco.me
return and Henry J. boogied on
with her as the three of them
ended the night, Claudia rolling
o ut notes from her harmonica,
to Henry and Joseph's guitar
playing, and singing:
"The end is always wa it in
round the bend,
perhaps they think their lives
will never end ... "
and everyone wished th ey
wouldn't.
The importance of the eve ning
was in that people could · get to gether, enjoy and be part of a
musical event without expectations, appreciative of the effort
and musical quality put into. it .
T he relat ionship between a ll was
casua l, inherently good, and contagious; well worth havin g
again .
It was good being a part of an
unsophisticated experience, peo p le ge tting a cha nce to be in th e
limelight, exposing the realness
of what was offered. We can't a ll

Gretchen Girvin works with bold geometric designs made of cotton and machine quilts them. Josy Fay works as large
as possible (she is presently creating a
qui lt that will be over 25 feet long) with
juxtaposed transparent fabr ics and hand

T he show was conceived from a desire
to illustrate some of the movemen'ts in
texti les in past and recent times . The old
quilts are not only overwhelming achievements , but they document one of the
major avenues of artistic expression by
women of the past. The cont,emporary
works represent a new emphasis on concepts, original design and content.
Go see the ex hibit and be dazzled by
the patterns, humor, patience and creativity involved . Try to attend Lyanne's work shop this Sa turday and don't let the art of
quilting die!

FRIENDS OF THE RAG is a varied collection of text ile artists who can all believe
in the motto: "If the art fits, wear it!"
The orga nizat ion started a lmost four years
ago w ith the idea of introducing and famili ari2ing the public with the idea that original wearable design is a n art form and
should be recogni2ed as such.
Th e artists inv olved work in many diftere nt medias : they range from classic
fa shi o n design to exotic costume design ,
to thread painters to sculpturers and cera mi cists. They are expanding their mem bership for their next exhibit Dec. 12 .
Anyone interested in joining them can

Rice is one of the most ancient foods: archealogical evidence
of rice found in Thailand dates back as far as 5000 B.C.
Linguistic and botanical evidence suggests that rice originated
so mewhere in Southeastern Asia. The Chinese word for rice
means "good grain of life" and in many parts of the Far East
the word for rice is the same as the word for life, food, or
agriculture. Rice feeds more than half the world's population,
and its uses extend beyond the range of nourishment into the .
realm of refreshment ";'hen rice is ~sed in making sake and
beer. Rice paper, however, is not made from rice. hilt frnm thp
Rice-paper plant. not at all related to rice.
The generic name for rice is Oryza Sativa; it is a type of
grass. A few other species of Oryza have been domesticated,
but Oryza sativa furnishes nearly all the rice consumed
worldwide. Within the species there are thousands of varieties
which can generally be divided into two types . The ';aponica'
type is short grained, and is moist and sticky when cooked;
the 'indica' type cooks up to be dry and fluffy. Brown rice is
rice from which only the outer husks have been removed:
parboiled or converted ri.ee has had the husk, bran and germ
polished away , and has been parboiled, stea med and dried;
precooked or instant rice is polished rice which has been
cooked, rinsed and dried . "Wild rice" is also available; it is th e
seed of an aquat ic perrenial grass, unrelated to rice.
When compared for nutrition, brown rice comes out ahead
in almos t every aspect. Enriched converted rice ha s inore iron
and thiamine than brown rice, due no doubt to the addition of
these nutrients. The USDA Compositio n of Foods Handbook
makes no mention of inositol or chol ine, two importan t
members of the B-vitamin complex found in w ild rice.
As a grain , rice is not a comp lete prote in : it is deficient in,
iso leucine and lysine, two esse ntia l amino acids , so rice shou ld
be complemented with foods high in these am ino acid s to al low . '"

There are severa l ways to cook rice; here a re two reliable
methods for brown rice. (For other types of rice, follow the
directions on the package.)
1. Bring to a boil 4 cups water or stock . Slowly stir in 2 cups
rice and bring to a boil once aga in . Cover tightly a nd lower
hea t to simmer. Cook till all the liquid's been absorbed, add a
' . . ' ._. ~ , ' r " _",

2. Put about 118 inch oil or melted butter in the .bottom; of,a ,'pot and heat. Stir in 2 cups uncooked rice. Saute for about 5
minutes, stirring frequently, adding more oil if the rice sticks.
Add 4 cups hot or boiling water to the rice and bring to a boil.
Lower heat, cover tightly and cook as in l. This method
produces slightly less volume but enhances the f1avqr of the
rice, and helps to keep the grains separate.
Cooked rice can be used innumerable ways. Use it as a base
for stuffing green peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, or eggplant,
adding to the rice such things as onions, garlic, cheese,
mushrooms, herbs, wheat germ, nuts, seeds, or chopped
vegetables, along with a little oil.ke following recipe for Baked
Rice with Cheese can be used as a foundation for a more
creative cassero le, employing other colorful and ta sty
ingredients. Butter a baking dish, put in it layers of cooked . ': .
rice, dotting each layer with butter and thinly sliced cheese ."; "'" . .m! i j
Add milk to abou" half the depth of the rice, cover with
"
crumbs or wheat gel 11 , and bake at 360 degrees till the cheese
melts and the crumbs are brown. Additions might be onions,
parsley, tomatoes, chopped ham or ch icken, hard boiled eggs,
cooked spinach, or mushrooms.
For Spanish Rice, Start with cooked rice and add tomatoes,
grated cheese, sauteed o'1ion, celery, peppers and season with
chili powder or mustard uT,til it tastes good.
Rice can be,. heateda with milk or cream, and mixed with
fresh or dried fruit and nuts for breakfast, or mixed with
cream, honey , spices and fresh fruit for desert, or it can be
made into Baked Rice Pudding:
Place 2 cups cooked rice, 1/, cup raisins, '/ , teaspoon grated
lemon rind and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a buttered 1 y, quart
baking dish, Mix together ,/ , cup honey, y, teaspoon vani lla, 3
eggs, 2Y2 cups milk and 'I. teaspoon salt . Pour over rice and
stir to mix. Bake at 325 degr~es for 30 minutes, This pudding
can be varied h" ~dding nuts, dates, chocolate chips, or spices
such as cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. 1 cup of brown sugar can
be used in place of honey, or 1/, cup of mix'!ri honey and

"If," a 1969 British flik (so there,
you prude, whoever you are),
explores the lives and rebellions
of three non-conforming (remember those days) seniors at a
posh British boarding school. It's
very well done, The short, "Let

furor several weeks ago. with a
dummy bomb planted as part of
the production. The local Feds
didn't care all that much for it,
but it's okay, the point was well
made. It's an excellent commentary on America to.day and is
well worth the 50 cents. Don't
miss it.

"Erik the Conqueror" at 7 and
9:30 in Lecture Hall One. A 50

the oi'le I think it is, it's an en;oyable, though somewhat gory,
typical rendition of the Viking

Monday, No.vember 10 The Monday Night Film and

in Lecture Hall One. No admission charged. "Finally ... " is a
forceful documentary presenting
the workers' point of view on'

in Detroit and the efforts of revolutionary black workers to
build their own union. The film,
"Black Panther" will also be
s hown. Reymond Turner will
speak about black movements

Lecture Hall One. It's free. Kurosawa, a world-renowned Japa nese director and producer,
transposed Shakespeare's Macbeth to the world of medieval
Japan, and created what is, in
the minds of most film critics,

ALL HALLOW'S CONCERT '
by Chris Carroll
The stage looked like one of
those caught-me-by-surprise-inthe -study settings, with red and
black peppered carpet laid out,
plants nonchalantly placed about
and an easy chair with a reading
lamp on stage left, exemplifying
the casual, reposeful atmosphere
of Saturday evening's "All Hallows Day Concert," where dilettantes and sk illed musicians from
Evergreen gathered for a few
hours of blues, traditional and
contemporary folk, coalesced
into. a unique, tota lly Evergreen
event.
All was made possible through
the effo rts 'of students Nathaniel
Koch and Rennie Selkirk, with
help from the Gig Commission,
a nd was in response to the nowdefunct attempt of having a talent show made up from the
musical ta len t at Evergreen.
"When the talent show was
canned, we thought we'd get together some music and put on a
show . We were overwhelmed at
the turnout, and wish to thank
a ll who came," said Koch.
That talen t sounded pretty
good as the first act, Henry J.
Boogie (alias Selkirk), walked
out a nd played his first sdng on
his acoustic guitar with pickup.
The rapport was immediate with
Boogie behind his shades, loose
spa ngled tie and lizard-skin
cowboy boots. He played several
dispassionate numbers before in troducing Claudia Mauro, an unassuming harmonica player who
. displayed masterful manipulation
of the blue's harp. The response
to the wailful, flowing stream of
blues was endorsed with shouts
and warm, impressed applause.
The second group consisted of
Lori Hyman, Teasy Ryken and
Dale Russ. :': Blues artists s it ,
country stands," said Lori, as
they commenced to play several
melodious songs of popular and
personal origin, playing a variety
of instruments including the a utoharp, mandolin and violin. My
only complaint with their show
was that it was their on ly one.
Again, the friendliness between
a udie nc e and performers was
genuine.
'Meat a nd Potatoes" was their
title, as Bruce Drager and Jim
Cubbage came on for their set.
They played a couple of songs
written by "t he guy in Peoria"
(Dan Fogelberg), and 'several of
their own. Their nervousness
was apparent, and at first
seemed to lack the proper communication needed in making
their music work. Jim played the
flute nicely, and though they
didn't possess the steadiness of
their predecessors an~ their
vo.ices were erra tic at times, they

contributed well to the wholeness
of the evening .
After a ten-minu te intermissio.n of stretching cramped muscles and easi ng sore tailbo nes (if
you sit on the steps at the next
happening in the library, bring a
pillow), David Holbrook began
it all again with a piece o.n his
jew's-harp, sing-yelling:
"Every time I come to town ,
someone's always
kickin my dog around,
Even thou g h he's just a
ho und , they go tta stop
kick in my dog around."
Finally , that sleek, black Steinway wen t int o act ion as John
Adams came o n, singing " Rock
Me on the Water." Possibly thi s
was the most comp lete performer, w ith his soothi ng piano and
easy guitar playing. And what
was that liquid he'd drink from a
tin pan after each so ng, for his
voice was like silver, clean in hi s
inflections. After a rousing ovation for his "Tuesday Afternoon, "
introduced were Lisa and Chrissie McPhaden, Ralph Allen , and
Fred Zell, combining their tal ents for severa l Irish a nd English
traditional folk music, using violin and mand o lin a nd th e n
finally straight vocals .
The final performance was by
Joseph Schlick , dedicating hi s
so ngs to personal friends. The
concert had lasted almost three
hours, a nd he thanked every one for lasting so long, playing
mellow, echOing pieces. It was
like listening to a friend st rumming and singing, for he fit in
well with the now drained crowd,
a llowing us to wander, as he
did, into the lyrics he sang.
Claudia Mauro made a welco.me
return and Henry J. boogied on
with her as the three of them
ended the night, Claudia rolling
o ut notes from her harmonica,
to Henry and Joseph's guitar
playing, and singing:
"The end is always wa it in
round the bend,
perhaps they think their lives
will never end ... "
and everyone wished th ey
wouldn't.
The importance of the eve ning
was in that people could · get to gether, enjoy and be part of a
musical event without expectations, appreciative of the effort
and musical quality put into. it .
T he relat ionship between a ll was
casua l, inherently good, and contagious; well worth havin g

renewed violence in 1969 on a Protestantsuprem ist group called the Orange Order.
These people attacked Catholics in their
ghettos a nd, in a sense, were the force
prompting the radical Irish Republican
Army (IRA) to begin taking violent
action.
The IRA came into play in late 1970. An
illegal group in both Northern and
Southern Ireland, the IRA is sp lit into two
gro ups. One is ca lled the "Officials," their
Marxian-Social ist group willing to use
limited violence to achieve their goals .
The other is ca lled the "Provos," a group
that .practices all-out, indiscriminate war.
Costigan cal led the Provo s "fanatical

meeting with students appointed by their
programs to "act as a consultative pool in
the curriculum planning process."
Patterson unfolded the p lan to determine long-range curriculum at Evergreen.
She exp lained that each fa culty would be
expected to commit themselves to areas
for next year and the following year,
ena bling students to move away from the
'element of surprise' unique to Evergreen's
curricu lum.
Students expressed frustrati on with
common and serious problems here, one
of which is individual contracts. Contrac ts are difficult , often impossible to
sec ure, because of lack of faculty expertise
in the area, faculty who don't really 'ca re '

that in Evergreen's five yea rs of operation
not one fac ulty person has been fired.
"The law of averages," said one observant

such negotia tions are at a stalemate now ,
sa id Costigan.
"If Britain gets out," he said, "there w ill
wholesa le massacre of Catholics - even if
they are not in the IRA - by the
P rotestants. "
Right now , Costigan is very pessimistic
regarding the possib le reso lutio n of the
Irish problem.
"By January 1, Ireland w ill be in its
eighth year of fighting. There is no end in
sight , and the situation is worse than
ever."

The British government, under new

acted in Northern Ireland in 1971. In
August 1971. the British attempted to
wipe out the IRA by arresting its leaders .
They arrested 2,000 Ca tholics, but none
were leaders of the IRA, and as a result ,
v iolence escalated because of this use ot

Fall is the harvest season, and here on campus man y people arc
interested in harvest ing the sm a ll brown psilocyb in mushroom.
However, mushroom identification can be d ifficult and dangerou s,
especia ll y to the beginner. If you are considering goi ng out to
hunt the Psilocybe, you should know that in this area are found
mu shrooms of quite similar appearance , which are among the
most deadly species known,
Galerina aLltLlmnalis is a small brown mushroom with a brown
spo re print , like some psilocybins. It ha s a slight pellicle a nd th e
base sometimes tends to be bluish. Conocybe {ilaris is 'also sma ll
and brown with a brown spore print. Bo th occur here in the
Northwest. and Ga lerina aLltLlmnalis is plentiful on campus. These
tw o species contai n cy c\opept ides , deadly poisons whose
symptoms appear too late (10 to 14 hours after ingestion) for
successfu l treatment. After sharp abdominal pains , violent
vomiting, and diarrhea, the victim appears to improve, then
worsens a,nd dies in seven to ten days of massive liver and kidney
failure.
To avoid thi s miserable and painful brand of death, psilocybin
hunters should exercise the greatest care to positively identify a ll
mushrooms before eating them . Spore prints can vary among
individuals of a species~ and any doubtful mushroom shou ld be
su.b mitted to an expert for analysis .
