.s COOPER POINT JOURNAL

Charges, counter-charges and situation
reversals are piling up like punches in a
prize fight in ' the tangled Washington Indian fishing rights controversy.
For instance, this year's chum salmon
run was closed Oct. 27 to all but Indian
fishermen, closed Oct. 29 to all fishermen
due to an alleged conservation emergency,
and reopened by the Indians Sunday
night, Nov. 9 , in certain portions of south
Puge! Sound.
The Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission (NWIFC) charges the state Department of Fisheries with statistical manipulation and refusal to enforce regulations , The state dislikes dealing with 27
sovereign Indian tribes , while non-treaty
fishermen charge their government with
reverse discrimination .
Nobody is very happy with the current
state of affairs .
The first closure . - made by United
States District Court Judge George Boldt
- sparked complaints of unfairness and
criticism from Governor Dan Evans that
it "hurt the innocent. " Two days later,
Oct. 29, Director of State Fisheries Donald Moos forbade all commercial salmo n
fishing south of the Edmonds-Kiiigston
line , declaring a severe resource emergency and citing a chum run 70 percent
below pre-season estimates.
NWIFC executive director William L.
Smith attributed the state's low catch data
to poor weather conditions which prevented actual .test fisheries and limited the
number of test boats. In addition , he said,
fish caught illegally by non-Indians are
not included in official data, seriously affecting accuracy .
Therefore, the tribes opened a "limited"
test fishery in south Puget Sound on Nov .
9. Their emergency action was in part
based on U.S . Fish and Wildlife Service
da ta for Hood Canal which the NWIFC
said wo uld justify a regular fishery.
"Indian s are capable of monitoring

chum runs without destroying them ,"
<Smith said. "If the catch results show an
endangered run, the Tribes will close their
fisheries . "
State Department of Fisheries reaction
to the Indian move was decidedly negative.
" Every shred of evidence indicates a serious conservation issue, and there is no
question that the resource is in trouble,"
deputy director of Fisheries Frank Haw
said early this week. "We have the support of the court."
Haw said several Indian fishermen were
arrested in the Seattle area on Nov. 9.
THE TREATIES
Familiarity with the events of the past
120 years is crucial to an understanding of
the modern fishing crisis. The Indians'
claim to rights stems from five treaties
signed with the U . S. government in
1854 - 56.
The treaties, which dealt with Wash ington west of the Cascades and north of
th e Columbia River, were written in Chinook, a jargon composed of 300 scattered
French , English and common Indian
words. Among other effects, these documents consigned the Indians to their reservations.
Stripped of land , the Indians still re garded as of utmost importance their right
to fish , a due they secured in those treaty
documents, which hold the position, as
designated by the U. S, Constitution, as
"the supreme law of the land." One of the
most famous, the Medicine Creek Treaty
of 1854, states :
The right of taking fish at all
usual and accustomed grounds and
stations, is further secured to said
Indians , in common with all citizens of the Territory .
This passage, 120 years later, prompted
Judge Boldt to a landmark decision which
has created a furor of gigantic proportions.
Boldt's ruling was made in February,
. 1974 in U. S. v. Washington, a case filed

Left to right is, Guy McMinds (Quinalt), Calvin Peters (Medicine ·
Creek), Charles Peterson (MAKAH) , Forre~t Kinley (PI. Elliot) .

more than three years before by the federal government on behalf of 14 Washington tribes . The judge found that "in common with" signifies the opportunity for
the Indians to catch 50 percent of the
available salmon harvest at their "usual
a nd accustomed grounds and stations."
The entirety of on - reservation catches
and taking of fish for food and ceremonial purposes had never been denied the
tribes. Boldt's decision made clear, how ever, that in the five treaty areas the state
can't regulate off - reservation Indian fishing to the same degree as non - Indian fish ing.
In additi o n, Boldt declared that on-reservation catches are not to be counted as

Don Martin
To the Editor:
A few years ago, I could reject
co mment s by " The Honkey,
C hau vinist Pig" as just another
attempt at sick humor . However,
today, I can't reject it as easi ly
beca use I feel it is a "real"
scream that I've heard from
o ther white males .
Yea rs ago, "WE " started to
"scream" and the typical MCP
said , "That doesn 't affect me J don 't hav e to deal with it."
Now, at least, some white
males are beginn ing to recognize
that " Something " does affecL

them,
They are "feeling" oppression,
restriction s, re jections and censo rship , and, are screaming (or
po uting, or whining) that it's not
" FAIR " to do that to them "because of my color or sex ."
, , .. YAAAAAA. , . !Ill
Can this be a beginning of "relating" and / or "feeling?"
I can partly understand his
fee lings of having things "taken
away." Can he get past this stage
of self-pi ty to self-actio n to rea lize th e things he has been "given?" Ca n he discover the ways
thZlt he has been deconditioned,
oppressed, den ied by society?
There are many books o n the
sub jec t. ( Th e Male Dilemma,
Male Liberation , etc.) Perhaps
they can give him enough insight
and strength to discuss it openly
with other males.
It's been difficult for me to
write this without playing the
game , ''I'm more oppressed than
you a re." Just as it wou ld have .
been difficu lt for me to talk with
HCP. I have tried to discuss the
opp ression of sexism on both
sexes with many wh ite males
(eve n beyo nd thi s level of awareness) all too often to be verbally
tr o unc ed a nd m en tally "guilttripped." So, I have learned to
end these "confrontati ons" after
the first destructive cliques .
Perhaps by "hiding" behind
the written, I can present some
co nstruc tive a lternatives to HCP
(and other "threatened" white
ma les ) for their dilem ma, and

SOUNDING BOARD
To the Editor:
From the Sou nding Board:
1.) After much discussion, the
So unding Board voted on Nov. 5
to recommend that the campus
represen tatives to the Board of
Trustees be representatives of
Third World peop le, women and
gay people, with each representative to be chosen by her or his
respective group.
It was felt that these three
groups are the three for whom
representation on the Board of
Trustees is most important to the
Evergreen community, and realizing that there are many other
groups on campus having interests which shou ld be represented
at Board of Trustees meetings,
2.) Women's Soccer at Evergreen is a viable program with
little or no funding at present.
The team needs approximately
$700 for league fees, equipment
and uniforms. Logically the
money cou ld come from S & A,
but sh ou ld their budget be
non- ex is tant , th en fundin g
shou ld be sought from academic
an d adm in istrative funds.

SCHOOL FINANCING

Linda Lombard
To the Editor :
I en joyed reading the letter to
the editor in last week's (6 Nov .
1975) CPJ from "the Honkey,
Cha uvinist Pig that said 'Who''' .
I can sympathize with his
feelings because I too am a white
middle class male; 18-25 and I
also work my ass off for my
education.
However I don't think th e
goa ls of SWIMCLAM would be
as· wort hy of a cause as most of
the ot her organizations here on
ca mpus . But don't sluff off his
letter simply as a complaint of
an oppresser losing power. What
he's talking abou t is oppressio n,
no matter who or why. I think it
is important to keep these things
in perspective, whatever your
view might be , There is no point
to venge nce.

To the Editor:
Realizing that citizen input is
essential to the deve lopment of
a n effecti ve , long - lasting solution
to school financing and education problems in Washington,
state government is going to the
people for some ideas and
answers.
The idea to take the school
f!lnding issue right to the community level to ge t input from
citizens who might otherwise not
express their views came during
a meeting in September. The
meeting included Governor Evans, the legislative leaderships
from both parties in the House
of Representat ives, Superintendent of Publ ic Instruction Frank
Brouillet and a variety of groups
ranging from th e State Grange to
the Washington Education Association .
Through a series of community meetings during October, November and December and questionnaires being sent to thousands
of Washington Citizens, grass
roots answers to education quality and funding questions are be ing sought.

Some of the questions being
asked include:
• What should our children learn
in school and how do we pay
for it?
• Once we decide what is to be
paid for, how do we distribute
funds equitably 1
• How can we measure our children's progress?
• How can we know if our
school s are doing an effective
job?
• How much should the public
be in volved in the local district's
budget process?
• How do we determine how
well our schools are managed?
• How do we compensate teachers fairly?
These questionnaires are being sent to about 2,500 households in each legislative district
near a meeting site, Approximate ly 37,500 were sent out in
October.
Decisions on school financing
and education sys tem changes
are not going to be easy ones to
make. As alternatives are studied
and developed, input from
citizens will help sta te legislators
to act on legislation bearing the
broadest base of pub lic support
possible .

WORN A CUP JOCK
To the Editor:
Just returned from the Chris
Williamson concert and must
commend the Women's Center
for bringing such a fine lady and
her music to campus,
I'm sympathetic with women's
struggle for equality, but the aggressive nature of the concert
bouncers somewhat al iena t ed
me. I must admit it was the first
concert I' ve been to that upon
entering and be ing confronted
wished I had worn a cup jock ,
I'm curious to see if the same

JOURNAL ALTERS
HISTORY
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to the
Journal's recent attempts to a lter
history , In th e Nov, 6 issue, a
story on the current art exhibit
includes the "fact" that this is Evergree n's first textile exhibit. This
completely ignores the ex hibits
of quilts and other textile handicrafts that were part of the
Women's Art Festival in 1974. A
seco nd example is the "fact" that
the Environmental Advisory
Committee is one of two standing committees. The Professional
leaves Committee, the Pub lications Board, the KAOS Advisory ' Board and the Hearing
Board (part of the membership
se rves terms, part are appoin ted
by case) are all ongoing, standing committees. There are probably others.
Finally, 'Seve ral weeks ago,
there was reference made to the
origina l Evergreeners wearing
Earth Shoes. When Evergreen
opened in 1971 , Earth Shoes
were not availab le on the West
Coast and probably not available in the rest of the United
States,
Whi le these may seem minor
points to most campus mouthbreathers, they reduce the Jour nal's credibility to its serious
readers,

I live in Lacey and am too far
away to get KAOS on my receiver. Tuesday morning, however as I sat in the mini-studio
on the first floor of the Library,
I realized for the first time how
much I was missing in just one
two ~ ho ur show. This Tuesday
was th e first of a continui ng
show of li ve performances,
broadcast each Tuesday morning
from 7 - 9 a,m .
Aptly call ed " Up With the
Chickens," the show grew out of
a co nv ersat ion between two
KAOS workers , Carl L. Cook
and Jerry Michelsen . Carl, as
those of you who can pick up
KAOS know, DJs the "Sat urday
All Night Jamm" session, while
Jerry works the Tuesday evening
"History of Jazz:' show. They
were discuss ing the possibility of
getting liv e performers on Jerry's
jazz show and realized that they
could potent ially keep both the
Saturday night liv e performances
amI the jazz show and still have
a second live show to help the
so m ew hat reluctant students
crawl out of bed and face the
co ld wet rains yet to come.
Next thing I knew I fo und myself o ut of bed at 7:30 a. m, and
down at the mini-studio listening
to some of the most pleasant
music I've ever been awakened
to . Those of you who went to
lhe All Hallow's concert two
weeks back certainly remember
Claudia Mauro and Joseph
Schlick who got together for the

their way intricately in and
around each other's music ,
paving th e way for me to continue the day the way they
started it; soft, smooth , pleasant
and light .

Joseph Schlick

The formal of the show, says
Carl, will be as varied as is the
li ste nin g audience.
Any person interested in performing on the show sho uld con tact Carl or Jerry over at KAOS.

If the shows coming up are even
half as enjoyable as the one I
heard this morning, KAOS (893
FM) will have made an inva luable addition to their program
schedule.

The commission also seeks to insure cooperation between the tribes. It consists of
five commissioners, one from each t~eaty
area, and three intertribal coordinators.
Boldt gave the chum run to the Indians
Oct , 27 as compensation for what he saw
as willful and deliberate obstruction of
treaty fishermen by non -Indians during
the immediately preceding Coho season.
During a factual hearing the week before,
a USFWS biologist, Jim Heckman, testified that through Oct. 17, Indians had
taken 131,000 off-reservation Coho while
non - treaty fishermen had caught 322,000
salmon . In addition, Heckman said whites
had caught 415,000 Coho outside but
bound for the southern Sound ,
In fact , even before the Coho run,
Boldt's court technical advisor, Dr. Richard Whitney , testified that non -Indians
had already taken 50 percent of the pre dicted salmon runs for 1975. NWIFC figures show Indians took 22 percent of this
year's Coho run ,
Interestingly enough, state fisheries' fig ures disagree , They indicat!! that Indians
have caught a lmost twice as many salmon
as non-Indians so far this year.
Sf-LF-REGULA TION

Self-regulation of Indian fisheries was a
central issue of Judge Boldt 's rulin g. He
decreed that, if a tribe can demonstrate its
competence to protect a fish run, the sta te
may not exercise control over that tribe's
fis hing unless it can show a conservation
emergency,
Moos attempted to do just that when
he closed the Sound to all fishing Oct. 29 .
"As the run developed, it became appar ent that it was far below expectations and
did not have enough fish in it for spawning purposes," he said .
Moos presented data to the Boldt ad visory committee - made up of Smith ,
Moos, Whitney and a technical assistant
to the judge - the day he barred Sound
fishing. His statistics showed the 1975
chum run is a little over one -tenth the
size of last year's run.
Discrimination and inability to enforce
regulations are two of the charges leveled
by the NWIFC at the state Fisheries De partment. The commission claims often
during the Coho run, the Fisheries Patrol
would not respond to ca ll s on evenings
when 40 to 50 illega l non - Indian gillnetters were crowding o ut the legal treat y
fishermen. Incidents such as one in which
two Puyallup boys wer e beaten and
maced while -fishing have been cited as
racism and brutality.
The state Fisheries Department blames
inadequate enforcement on lack of man power, The Fisheries Patrol employs 50
officers.

Don Martin
To the Editor:
A few years ago, I could reject
co mment s by " The Honkey,
C hau vinist Pig" as just another
attempt at sick humor . However,
today, I can't reject it as easi ly
beca use I feel it is a "real"
scream that I've heard from
o ther white males .
Yea rs ago, "WE " started to
"scream" and the typical MCP
said , "That doesn 't affect me J don 't hav e to deal with it."
Now, at least, some white
males are beginn ing to recognize
that " Something " does affecL

them,
They are "feeling" oppression,
restriction s, re jections and censo rship , and, are screaming (or
po uting, or whining) that it's not
" FAIR " to do that to them "because of my color or sex ."
, , .. YAAAAAA. , . !Ill
Can this be a beginning of "relating" and / or "feeling?"
I can partly understand his
fee lings of having things "taken
away." Can he get past this stage
of self-pi ty to self-actio n to rea lize th e things he has been "given?" Ca n he discover the ways
thZlt he has been deconditioned,
oppressed, den ied by society?
There are many books o n the
sub jec t. ( Th e Male Dilemma,
Male Liberation , etc.) Perhaps
they can give him enough insight
and strength to discuss it openly
with other males.
It's been difficult for me to
write this without playing the
game , ''I'm more oppressed than
you a re." Just as it wou ld have .
been difficu lt for me to talk with
HCP. I have tried to discuss the
opp ression of sexism on both
sexes with many wh ite males
(eve n beyo nd thi s level of awareness) all too often to be verbally
tr o unc ed a nd m en tally "guilttripped." So, I have learned to
end these "confrontati ons" after
the first destructive cliques .
Perhaps by "hiding" behind
the written, I can present some
co nstruc tive a lternatives to HCP
(and other "threatened" white
ma les ) for their dilem ma, and

SOUNDING BOARD
To the Editor:
From the Sou nding Board:
1.) After much discussion, the
So unding Board voted on Nov. 5
to recommend that the campus
represen tatives to the Board of
Trustees be representatives of
Third World peop le, women and
gay people, with each representative to be chosen by her or his
respective group.
It was felt that these three
groups are the three for whom
representation on the Board of
Trustees is most important to the
Evergreen community, and realizing that there are many other
groups on campus having interests which shou ld be represented
at Board of Trustees meetings,
2.) Women's Soccer at Evergreen is a viable program with
little or no funding at present.
The team needs approximately
$700 for league fees, equipment
and uniforms. Logically the
money cou ld come from S & A,
but sh ou ld their budget be
non- ex is tant , th en fundin g
shou ld be sought from academic

SCHOOL FINANCING

Linda Lombard
To the Editor :
I en joyed reading the letter to
the editor in last week's (6 Nov .
1975) CPJ from "the Honkey,
Cha uvinist Pig that said 'Who''' .
I can sympathize with his
feelings because I too am a white
middle class male; 18-25 and I
also work my ass off for my
education.
However I don't think th e
goa ls of SWIMCLAM would be
as· wort hy of a cause as most of
the ot her organizations here on
ca mpus . But don't sluff off his
letter simply as a complaint of
an oppresser losing power. What
he's talking abou t is oppressio n,
no matter who or why. I think it
is important to keep these things
in perspective, whatever your
view might be , There is no point
to venge nce.

To the Editor:
Realizing that citizen input is
essential to the deve lopment of
a n effecti ve , long - lasting solution
to school financing and education problems in Washington,
state government is going to the
people for some ideas and
answers.
The idea to take the school
f!lnding issue right to the community level to ge t input from
citizens who might otherwise not
express their views came during
a meeting in September. The
meeting included Governor Evans, the legislative leaderships
from both parties in the House
of Representat ives, Superintendent of Publ ic Instruction Frank
Brouillet and a variety of groups
ranging from th e State Grange to
the Washington Education Association .
Through a series of community meetings during October, November and December and questionnaires being sent to thousands
of Washington Citizens, grass
roots answers to education quality and funding questions are be ing sought.

Some of the questions being
asked include:
• What should our children learn
in school and how do we pay
for it?
• Once we decide what is to be
paid for, how do we distribute
funds equitably 1
• How can we measure our children's progress?
• How can we know if our
school s are doing an effective
job?
• How much should the public
be in volved in the local district's
budget process?
• How do we determine how
well our schools are managed?
• How do we compensate teachers fairly?
These questionnaires are being sent to about 2,500 households in each legislative district
near a meeting site, Approximate ly 37,500 were sent out in
October.
Decisions on school financing
and education sys tem changes
are not going to be easy ones to
make. As alternatives are studied
and developed, input from
citizens will help sta te legislators
to act on legislation bearing the
broadest base of pub lic support
possible .

JOURNAL ALTERS
HISTORY
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to the
Journal's recent attempts to a lter
history , In th e Nov, 6 issue, a
story on the current art exhibit
includes the "fact" that this is Evergree n's first textile exhibit. This
completely ignores the ex hibits
of quilts and other textile handicrafts that were part of the
Women's Art Festival in 1974. A
seco nd example is the "fact" that
the Environmental Advisory
Committee is one of two standing committees. The Professional
leaves Committee, the Pub lications Board, the KAOS Advisory ' Board and the Hearing
Board (part of the membership
se rves terms, part are appoin ted
by case) are all ongoing, standing committees. There are probably others.
Finally, 'Seve ral weeks ago,
there was reference made to the
origina l Evergreeners wearing
Earth Shoes. When Evergreen
opened in 1971 , Earth Shoes
were not availab le on the West
Coast and probably not available in the rest of the United
States,
Whi le these may seem minor
points to most campus mouthbreathers, they reduce the Jour nal's credibility to its serious
readers,

I live in Lacey and am too far
away to get KAOS on my receiver. Tuesday morning, however as I sat in the mini-studio
on the first floor of the Library,
I realized for the first time how
much I was missing in just one
two ~ ho ur show. This Tuesday
was th e first of a continui ng
show of li ve performances,
broadcast each Tuesday morning
from 7 - 9 a,m .
Aptly call ed " Up With the
Chickens," the show grew out of
a co nv ersat ion between two
KAOS workers , Carl L. Cook
and Jerry Michelsen . Carl, as
those of you who can pick up
KAOS know, DJs the "Sat urday
All Night Jamm" session, while
Jerry works the Tuesday evening
"History of Jazz:' show. They
were discuss ing the possibility of
getting liv e performers on Jerry's
jazz show and realized that they
could potent ially keep both the
Saturday night liv e performances
amI the jazz show and still have
a second live show to help the
so m ew hat reluctant students
crawl out of bed and face the
co ld wet rains yet to come.
Next thing I knew I fo und myself o ut of bed at 7:30 a. m, and
down at the mini-studio listening
to some of the most pleasant
music I've ever been awakened
to . Those of you who went to
lhe All Hallow's concert two
weeks back certainly remember
Claudia Mauro and Joseph
Schlick who got together for the

their way intricately in and
around each other's music ,
paving th e way for me to continue the day the way they
started it; soft, smooth , pleasant
and light .

Joseph Schlick

The formal of the show, says
Carl, will be as varied as is the
li ste nin g audience.
Any person interested in performing on the show sho uld con tact Carl or Jerry over at KAOS.

If the shows coming up are even
half as enjoyable as the one I
heard this morning, KAOS (893

most total lack of meaningiul com munication on problems of treaty

and non-Indian fishermen on one
side and tribal representatives and
members on the other side, and the
failure of many of them to speak to
each other and act as fellow citizens of equal standi ng as far as
treaty right fishing is concerned, , ,
With the aim of "meaningful communication" in mind, the NWIFC was created

on contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the USFWS shortly after the
Boldt decision. Its stated aim is to promote co-management of the fisheries between the state of Washington and the

To the Editor :
This is a response to the article
on the S&A Board entitled, "Student Gov: Technocracy or Democracy7" in last issue's "Socialist Feminists Speak" column. Overall the article gives an accurate
picture of the S&A Guidelines
(copies are available free from
the Student Activities office). I
100 share their Socialist Feminist
perspective though differ from
their particular brand of it. I
s upport th e ir view that the
present system "makes a sham of
democracy."
As a basic ex planation of the
S& A process the a rticle is adeCluate. The sa me informa tion has
been available and has been dispersed for quite a while. In terms
of giving people information on
what is presently going on with
the Board or clues on how the
present system can be changed,
the article is of no help.
The S&A Board process is going through a period of gentle ..
but sweeping unheaval. Anyo ne
ca n get involved in Board dis cussions. The Board is made up
of people who are sincerely concerned with making the Board
represent the people at Evergreen. No Board members are
particularly attached to their
positions of "power." Most of
o ur energy so far has gone
towards finding some way to
open up involvement in decisionmaking to more and more people
(see the Announcement in this
week 's CPl) . I am skep ti cal.
though, that without a thorough
restructuring of the whole S&A
process, these actions will be
merely stop -ga p measures.
The big question is not of
whether the S&A process shou ld
become a democracy. Rather at
th is late date it is of exactly what
kind of democracy this shou ld
be. Their article is weak in proposing any specific system and
this is where our energies should
now be directed. We've got six
months before the 76-77 allocation begins . We need to come toge ther as a co mmunity and start
working on all the intricacies of
coming up with a system that
tru ly will reflect the kind of democracy we desire . If we sta rt
NOW we may be able to get it
functioning by this May. It will
take a huge amount of time and
energy from a lot of people.
If there really is a popular
commitment to making the S&A
Board a democracy , people have
got to make themselves visible
and audible. A good way to
start, is to come to S&A Board
meetings and learn the back ground of four years of S&A.
Sound more complicated now ?
Most of the enthusiastic will say
to them selves "I haven't got the
time, etc." The past states of
S&A processes have reflected the
levels of development of concern
an d cohesion of the people here .
It hasn't been very much . Are

collapse is more the fault of its
creators than of Evergreen College.
I talked to Mark Overland and
Sara Heimlich last June, when
they were attempting to find faculty support for their proposed
study of killer whales. Both had
already done a lot of reading
about and study of cetaceans;
both had some promising ideas
about what they hoped to accomplish. At that time, they proposed to record the sounds of
Orcas passing the Limekiln Point
Light house, and play the sounds
- and slightly modified versions
created via electronic synthesizer
- back to the same whales and
film their behavior.
There were many disturbing
features of this otherwise promising study. First was the atmosphere of political hus t~ing and
bandwagon diplomacy In whI ch
Mark was trying to ge t it
launched. The "name dropping"
charge mentioned in his letter to
the CPJ was correct; he dropped
names left and right , including
mine . A lthough I had told him,
in a te lephone conversation a
few days earlier, that I did not
wish to participate in the pro ject,
I found that he'd included me on
a list of persons "actively involved" in the work which he
was using to enlist support from
others. He mentioned "faculty
members" from the University of
Washington who were supposedly supporting. him; my questions
of Mark, and a friend a few days
later, revealed that at least one
of these persons was neither a
faculty member , nor had he
promised any U of W equipment
for the study, nor had he made
any input to the design of th e
project. Haste and creation of a
sense of stamrede urgency were
also very much a part of Mark' s
tactics, at least with me . When
we discussed the project in June,
he showed me (for the first time)
a list of at least $50.000 worth of
college equipment he wanted to
move to San Juan island and opera te by Se ptember , and informed me that a committee deciding how the equipment would
be allocated was meeting, and
needed my input that very after noon.
Another problem, evident later
in the summer, was that Mark
seemed to be doing his utmost to
focus the maximum possible attention on Evergreen - and the
project - as a way of making it
practically impossible for the college to graciously refuse his re quest for equipment. When he
talked to me, he'd applied to th e
Weyerhaeuser Corp. for funds
and within a few days, I under stood that he'd approached the
local yacht club for a boat, and
had written to Congressmen re questing support. This, together
with the publicity in the CPJ
. PROJECT OPRA
during the summer , struck me as
a rather crude way of forcing the

to the editor:
re : "student government:
technocracy or democracy7" to
critique the arguments presented
in this commentary would take a
great deal more time and energy
than it is worth, but I feel
com pelled to make two comments.
one : in the tesc catalogue is
found the following statement on
governance: "decision making at
Evergreen w ill take place at the
administrative level closest to
those affected by the particular
decision, those respons ible for
making the deci s ion will be
locatable and accountab le; they
will be expected to obtain input
and advice from concerned
parties as a regular part o~, the
decision-making process,
In
view of this statement, the
authors of the commentary are
erroneous in accusing the college
of "po rtray(ing) itself as an
ultra-democratic institution. " in
fact, the only people i have ever
hear to make this incorrect
statement are those who then
prove that tese is not ~emo­
cralic, and use these two
conflicting "facts" to further their
own political cause.
two: while not going into the
numerous serious complicat ions
inherent in the electoral scheme
presented, one drawback is
particularly conspicuous. if. as
the authors seem to state, the
s&a board is not "democratic'"
unless composed of 50% women,
25% third world, and 15% gay
members, then what percentage ,
remains to represent those students who are not included in
those groups? i would wager that
there are more than 10 %
heterose xua l male non -th ird

RINDV JONES: AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

Doug Kin g

•

by Jill Stewart
Can you give a brief description of Affirmative Action at
Evergreen?
"Affirmative Action at Evergreen means that we have an
action and goal-oriented program in which we try to recruit,
hire , train and promote nonwhites and women . The program
is designed to overcome and
prevent the effects of systematic
discrimination and benign neutrality in employment and educat ional practices."
As Evergreen 's Affirmative
Action Officer, what responsibilities does your job involve?
'They are enormous. The job
is a big one and some of my
responsibilit y is hard to define.
One thing I'm responsible for is
reporti ng to the President. I
make interpretations and overviews of what's going on in the
area of Affirmative Act ion and
monitor the program here on
campus to see that we try to
reach our goals and stated time
tables. I update ogr policy and
try to keep people informed of
latest activity . I also serve as the
primary liaison between the
co liege and non-white and women 's groups here. Another part
of my job is to receive
discrimination complaints ' and,
on an informal basis, try to
investigate and resolve them. A
lot that can be taken care of by
talking w ith persons that feel
they have been discriminated
against. We sit down and talk
about it, and usually it works
itself out. There is a lot of
work--it's really diverse . Much
of what I do here has to do with
being able to find time to listen
to people.
How do you feel about your
job?
.
I feel good, I like what I do. I
h!el I need mOTe staff people,
because there is a lot to be done .
There are days when my job is
really exciting, because usually
the same thing doesn't happen
two days in a row. There are
days when it is really a downer,
and sometimes I think it's
because I want to see thin s

happen at a more rapid pace
than they do.
A lot of people think that as
the Affirmative Action Officer I
have a ll of this super power to
do all these super things when
they come to my office. That is
not my role. I'm not one of the
power figures at Evergreen. I see
my role as being highly facilitative whenever possible, but as
far as being a person of power to
say, 'this will happen or this will
not happen at Evergreen' - I
don't see myself as that.
What brought you here?
"I moved into this job in
March of 1974 because the
President asked me to take the
position. I knew it wouldn't be
easy but I felt I could do a good
job for the college. Affirmative
Action had recently go tten a lot
of response nationally, most of it
negative.
Before, I had worked as an
advisor, counselor and part-time
instructor at Central Washington
State College in the Educational
Opportunities Program, so I
have had a lot of diversity . I've
worked with all kinds of people
from all kinds of backgrounds
and educational levels. It was
exciting. I did a lot or recruitment, and worked in all kinds of
areas in the state. This was not
under Affirmative Action, just
general recruitment of stude~ts.
I moved from what I call
a
people-oriented, day-to-day interaction with students on an
academic side to, in a programatic sense, and administrative job.
And that 's ok--I want that
diversity because my ultimate
goal is to go on and become
college president someplace ....
unless some very wealthy man
comes along and marries me. I
don 't · hold my breath for that,
but I always say that as far as
marriage goes, I'm not actively
seeking a mate, I, just remain
available."
What about you , the person?
"I just liketo sit down
sometimes and talk about the
good old days and think good
thoughts. Some days I like to sit

and not do a damn thing. I'd like
to travel more, and I used to say
I didn't want to go out of the
country, but now I'm thinking
more in terms of world travel. I
don't have any wee ones
anymore, so I'm not tied down
to the house. I try to get to
Sea ttle every time there is
something of interest to me. I
wish there were better 'air
transportation bE'cause I really
hate to drive. Whenever any
person of means invites me out
of state, I try to join them . And
you can print that! There are
probably days when I can't find
anything to wear to work, but if
I had to be center stage with a
man of means, I cou ld probably
find the right garmen t. I could
get it all put together rather
quickly."
You are in an interes ting
position in your job to sense the
climate of the school. Do
Evergreen students, the majority
of whom are Caucasian, seem to
care about 'pluralizing' Evergreen 7
"When I've conduct~d workshops, especially last fall , all the
students who attended were
white st udents. They were excited about Affirmative Action
--what it meant at Evergreen.
They wanted to be well informed
about cultural differences and
how that was going to be built
into the curriculum . I find the
students exciting, I don't find
them withdrawn from wanting
to find out what is is they can
do . They are really bright
students, inquisitive and yet very
fair-minded . Many of them had
not had th e opportunity through
associat ion or socia lizing to be
with people of color.
I think we need an on-going
awareness program, not just to
talk abou t Affirmative Action
but to talk in terms of how all
people are discriminated against,
how white folks discriminate
against white folks , and ideas
like that. I think we can be
culturally pluralistiC here, in an
operant sense. People need to be
aware of differences and what
thos ~ differences are about.

To the Editor :
This is a response to the article
on the S&A Board entitled, "Student Gov: Technocracy or Democracy7" in last issue's "Socialist Feminists Speak" column. Overall the article gives an accurate
picture of the S&A Guidelines
(copies are available free from
the Student Activities office). I
100 share their Socialist Feminist
perspective though differ from
their particular brand of it. I
s upport th e ir view that the
present system "makes a sham of
democracy."
As a basic ex planation of the
S& A process the a rticle is adeCluate. The sa me informa tion has
been available and has been dispersed for quite a while. In terms
of giving people information on
what is presently going on with
the Board or clues on how the
present system can be changed,
the article is of no help.
The S&A Board process is going through a period of gentle ..
but sweeping unheaval. Anyo ne
ca n get involved in Board dis cussions. The Board is made up
of people who are sincerely concerned with making the Board
represent the people at Evergreen. No Board members are
particularly attached to their
positions of "power." Most of
o ur energy so far has gone
towards finding some way to
open up involvement in decisionmaking to more and more people
(see the Announcement in this
week 's CPl) . I am skep ti cal.
though, that without a thorough
restructuring of the whole S&A
process, these actions will be
merely stop -ga p measures.
The big question is not of
whether the S&A process shou ld
become a democracy. Rather at
th is late date it is of exactly what
kind of democracy this shou ld
be. Their article is weak in proposing any specific system and
this is where our energies should
now be directed. We've got six
months before the 76-77 allocation begins . We need to come toge ther as a co mmunity and start
working on all the intricacies of
coming up with a system that
tru ly will reflect the kind of democracy we desire . If we sta rt
NOW we may be able to get it
functioning by this May. It will
take a huge amount of time and
energy from a lot of people.
If there really is a popular
commitment to making the S&A
Board a democracy , people have
got to make themselves visible
and audible. A good way to
start, is to come to S&A Board
meetings and learn the back ground of four years of S&A.
Sound more complicated now ?
Most of the enthusiastic will say
to them selves "I haven't got the
time, etc." The past states of
S&A processes have reflected the
levels of development of concern
an d cohesion of the people here .
It hasn't been very much . Are

collapse is more the fault of its
creators than of Evergreen College.
I talked to Mark Overland and
Sara Heimlich last June, when
they were attempting to find faculty support for their proposed
study of killer whales. Both had
already done a lot of reading
about and study of cetaceans;
both had some promising ideas
about what they hoped to accomplish. At that time, they proposed to record the sounds of
Orcas passing the Limekiln Point
Light house, and play the sounds
- and slightly modified versions
created via electronic synthesizer
- back to the same whales and
film their behavior.
There were many disturbing
features of this otherwise promising study. First was the atmosphere of political hus t~ing and
bandwagon diplomacy In whI ch
Mark was trying to ge t it
launched. The "name dropping"
charge mentioned in his letter to
the CPJ was correct; he dropped
names left and right , including
mine . A lthough I had told him,
in a te lephone conversation a
few days earlier, that I did not
wish to participate in the pro ject,
I found that he'd included me on
a list of persons "actively involved" in the work which he
was using to enlist support from
others. He mentioned "faculty
members" from the University of
Washington who were supposedly supporting. him; my questions
of Mark, and a friend a few days
later, revealed that at least one
of these persons was neither a
faculty member , nor had he
promised any U of W equipment
for the study, nor had he made
any input to the design of th e
project. Haste and creation of a
sense of stamrede urgency were
also very much a part of Mark' s
tactics, at least with me . When
we discussed the project in June,
he showed me (for the first time)
a list of at least $50.000 worth of
college equipment he wanted to
move to San Juan island and opera te by Se ptember , and informed me that a committee deciding how the equipment would
be allocated was meeting, and
needed my input that very after noon.
Another problem, evident later
in the summer, was that Mark
seemed to be doing his utmost to
focus the maximum possible attention on Evergreen - and the
project - as a way of making it
practically impossible for the college to graciously refuse his re quest for equipment. When he
talked to me, he'd applied to th e
Weyerhaeuser Corp. for funds
and within a few days, I under stood that he'd approached the
local yacht club for a boat, and
had written to Congressmen re questing support. This, together
with the publicity in the CPJ
. PROJECT OPRA
during the summer , struck me as
a rather crude way of forcing the

to the editor:
re : "student government:
technocracy or democracy7" to
critique the arguments presented
in this commentary would take a
great deal more time and energy
than it is worth, but I feel
com pelled to make two comments.
one : in the tesc catalogue is
found the following statement on
governance: "decision making at
Evergreen w ill take place at the
administrative level closest to
those affected by the particular
decision, those respons ible for
making the deci s ion will be
locatable and accountab le; they
will be expected to obtain input
and advice from concerned
parties as a regular part o~, the
decision-making process,
In
view of this statement, the
authors of the commentary are
erroneous in accusing the college
of "po rtray(ing) itself as an
ultra-democratic institution. " in
fact, the only people i have ever
hear to make this incorrect
statement are those who then
prove that tese is not ~emo­
cralic, and use these two
conflicting "facts" to further their
own political cause.
two: while not going into the
numerous serious complicat ions
inherent in the electoral scheme
presented, one drawback is
particularly conspicuous. if. as
the authors seem to state, the
s&a board is not "democratic'"
unless composed of 50% women,
25% third world, and 15% gay
members, then what percentage ,
remains to represent those students who are not included in
those groups? i would wager that
there are more than 10 %
heterose xua l male non -th ird
world persons on campus . what
the authors' election scheme is
designed to do is gerrymander
the student body in such a way
as to insure than an overwhelming majority of the members of
the s&a board would belong to
the groups the authors claim to
represent. i am not necessarily
op pose d to this state of affaIrs,
however, to advocate such a
political move while crying
"democracy! " is beyond belief.
the authors are making a power
play, which is perfectly fine, but
i would appreciate some honesty
about what they advocate, and
wou ld suggest that they refrain
from hiding behind false rhetoric about democracy. the

ANIMAL SPAYING
Molly Clark of Shelton, in letters to
two . local newspapers recently, expressed
the need to get an United Humanitarian
Clinic started in this area. The clinic is
an animal spaying clinic where animals
can be spayed for about half the price
veterinarians charge.
Clark said in her letters that the answer
to unwanted animals is to spay them and
not to destroy them.
Anyone wantin g more information on
this organization, write: United Humanitarian , 19604 50th Ave. W., Lynnwood,
Wash., or call 775-1943. This clinic in
Lynnwood - about 75 miles away - is
the closest one to Olympia at the present.
For people interes ted in starting a clinic
in this area , call Clark at 426-1940 in
Shelton.

November 19 in Lecture Hall 5 from
q a. m. to 3 :30 p.m. and in the Board
Room (T hird Floor of Library) from J: 30

S & A Group. Together th ey will make
decisions on the fund balances (74-75) for
each student group. Lynn Garner (Assistant Director for Campus Activities) will
hav e made recommendations for each

What makes this whole process partiClIlarly touch y is that THE S & A BOARD

because of under-enrollment (something
tha t nobody could foresee), So we'll be
looking at the negative (we could take

DAVID CURRENT: SLIDE/TAPE PRODUCER

by John Dodge
David Current, a Seattle senior at
Evergreen, blends creativity with a
saleable product. Working as a private
contractor, he has produced slide/tape
presentations for public information use
by such diverse groups as the Children's
Home Society and the Joe Brazil Music
School in Seattle.
''I've alwilYs like tape recorders and
photography," said David. "And working
on slide/tape presentations allows me to
combine my artistic interests with an
independent business,"
David recently completed an eightminute slide tape show for the Children's
Home Society--the oldest private child
welfare organization in the state. He
entered his work in the Information Film
Producers of America competition held two
weeks ago in San Diego. Current walken
off with the second place award in the
category of slide tape and public affairs
productions under 20 minutes in length .
He is presently completing work on a
slide/tape presentation for the Center for
Addiction Services (CAS) in Seattle. CAS

is an administrative agency for drug
programs in" the Seattle area. Th e
multi-media show will be presented to
groups such as the Kiwanis and Rotary
Clubs and high school drug education
classes. Although David's work will be
used for fund-raising and general information, he relates to his work in terms of
visceral impact.
"I strive for an impressionistic, emo tional feeling in my work," said David. "I
see the function of thi s presentation as an
attempt to play on the senses of th e
audience; to set up a foundation for
conversation about drug abuse. "
"People don't realize that individuals
addicted to hard drugs often look lik e
anyone else," continued David. "I use lots
of faces and styles of faces in this
presentation. I try to show the observer
that drug addiction is not just th e
problem of the inner city, that heroin use
is heavy on the Eastside of Lake
Washington too (Bellevue, Mercer [sland ... )"

INTERIM
MASTER PLANNING

The two principal officials of Adult
Student Housing, Inc. (ASH) pleaded not
guilty in Portland Monday, Nov. 10, to
an eight-count federal indictment charging
them with using some $603,000 in federal
housing loans for their own use .
Phillip A. McKennan, 41, and Fred H.
Bender, 33, are accused of fraud and
conspiracy in their dealings with the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) between Nov. 4,
1971, and Jan. 14, 1974. The indictment
was returned Oct. 31 by a federal grand
jury in Portland, and trial on the eight
counts is scheduled for Feb. 16 in U .S.
District Court in Portland.
The government contends that the two
men were able to establish a false bank
account - by making false statements to
HUD - from which they misapproporiated
fl!deral funds loaned to them for
construction of housing facilities at seven
colleges and universities in Oregon and
Washington . The two colleges in Washington that have ASH complexes are
Evergreen and Clark College in Vancouver.
According to HUD audits published last
spring, McLennan and Bender were said
to have realized an increase of $8 million
in corporation assets and more than $2
million in their personal net worth during
the period of June, 1972, to August, 1973.
HISTORY
ASH received its financing from HUD
through the College Housing Act of 1950.
Originally, on ly colleges received this
money, but in 1965, the Act was amended
to include money for "any corporation ...
established for the sole purpose of
providing housing or other educational
facilities for students and faculty . . . "
Adult Student HOUSing, formed in 1969 ,
was the first major corporation to take
adva nta ge of this amendment.
ASH is defined by law as a non-profit
corpora tion. [n building its apartment
complexes, ASH incurred no costs of its
own as the government paid 'it all. The
cu rrent costs for ASH are paying back the

government over a period of 50 years for
the loans, maintaining and managing the
complexes and maintaining their corporation.
According to the HUD audit of last
year, ASH was meeting its costs and
making an apparent profit. Among the
ways ASH spent this profit, said the
audit, was to buy McLennan and Bender
"company cars" (a $7,200 Cadillac and a
$7,900 Chrysler), and to pay these men
salaries of about $50,000 to $55,000 a
year each. These and other incidents that
are mentioned in the audit are the roots
of the current criminal proceedings.
A T EVERGREEN
According to Evergreen Ash Tree
manager David Bierman, the problems
facing the corporation's leading executives
will have no effect whatsoever on his
management here. Bierman said that he
has received a call from the two men
recently, and he said that they told him
!hey were "completely innocent, and have
no worries about that (the indictment)."
Bierman said the two men are still the
principal executives of ASH.
Bierman, manager of ASH at Evergreen since October and former manager
of a similar ASH complex in Springfield,
Ore., runs 170 apartment units in 19
buildings at ASH. These apartments are
about 75 per cent full this quarter. In the
past, they have usually been almost 100
per cent full at the beginning of school.
Administrative Vice President Dean
Clabaugh was a major backer for the
contract with ASH in the early 1970's
because of the projected need for more
student housing . ASH opened at Evergreen in 1972.

DAVID CURRENT: SLIDE/TAPE PRODUCER

by John Dodge
David Current, a Seattle senior at
Evergreen, blends creativity with a
saleable product. Working as a private
contractor, he has produced slide/tape
presentations for public information use
by such diverse groups as the Children's
Home Society and the Joe Brazil Music
School in Seattle.
''I've alwilYs like tape recorders and
photography," said David. "And working
on slide/tape presentations allows me to
combine my artistic interests with an
independent business,"
David recently completed an eightminute slide tape show for the Children's
Home Society--the oldest private child
welfare organization in the state. He
entered his work in the Information Film
Producers of America competition held two
weeks ago in San Diego. Current walken
off with the second place award in the
category of slide tape and public affairs
productions under 20 minutes in length .
He is presently completing work on a
slide/tape presentation for the Center for
Addiction Services (CAS) in Seattle. CAS

is an administrative agency for drug
programs in" the Seattle area. Th e
multi-media show will be presented to
groups such as the Kiwanis and Rotary
Clubs and high school drug education
classes. Although David's work will be
used for fund-raising and general information, he relates to his work in terms of
visceral impact.
"I strive for an impressionistic, emo tional feeling in my work," said David. "I
see the function of thi s presentation as an
attempt to play on the senses of th e
audience; to set up a foundation for
conversation about drug abuse. "
"People don't realize that individuals
addicted to hard drugs often look lik e
anyone else," continued David. "I use lots
of faces and styles of faces in this
presentation. I try to show the observer
that drug addiction is not just th e
problem of the inner city, that heroin use
is heavy on the Eastside of Lake
Washington too (Bellevue, Mercer [sland ... )"

MASTER PLANNING

The two principal officials of Adult
Student Housing, Inc. (ASH) pleaded not
guilty in Portland Monday, Nov. 10, to
an eight-count federal indictment charging
them with using some $603,000 in federal
housing loans for their own use .
Phillip A. McKennan, 41, and Fred H.
Bender, 33, are accused of fraud and
conspiracy in their dealings with the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) between Nov. 4,
1971, and Jan. 14, 1974. The indictment
was returned Oct. 31 by a federal grand
jury in Portland, and trial on the eight
counts is scheduled for Feb. 16 in U .S.
District Court in Portland.
The government contends that the two
men were able to establish a false bank
account - by making false statements to
HUD - from which they misapproporiated
fl!deral funds loaned to them for
construction of housing facilities at seven
colleges and universities in Oregon and
Washington . The two colleges in Washington that have ASH complexes are
Evergreen and Clark College in Vancouver.
According to HUD audits published last
spring, McLennan and Bender were said
to have realized an increase of $8 million
in corporation assets and more than $2
million in their personal net worth during
the period of June, 1972, to August, 1973.
HISTORY
ASH received its financing from HUD
through the College Housing Act of 1950.
Originally, on ly colleges received this
money, but in 1965, the Act was amended
to include money for "any corporation ...
established for the sole purpose of
providing housing or other educational
facilities for students and faculty . . . "
Adult Student HOUSing, formed in 1969 ,
was the first major corporation to take
adva nta ge of this amendment.
ASH is defined by law as a non-profit
corpora tion. [n building its apartment
complexes, ASH incurred no costs of its
own as the government paid 'it all. The
cu rrent costs for ASH are paying back the

government over a period of 50 years for
the loans, maintaining and managing the
complexes and maintaining their corporation.
According to the HUD audit of last
year, ASH was meeting its costs and
making an apparent profit. Among the
ways ASH spent this profit, said the
audit, was to buy McLennan and Bender
"company cars" (a $7,200 Cadillac and a
$7,900 Chrysler), and to pay these men
salaries of about $50,000 to $55,000 a
year each. These and other incidents that
are mentioned in the audit are the roots
of the current criminal proceedings.
A T EVERGREEN
According to Evergreen Ash Tree
manager David Bierman, the problems
facing the corporation's leading executives
will have no effect whatsoever on his
management here. Bierman said that he
has received a call from the two men
recently, and he said that they told him
!hey were "completely innocent, and have
no worries about that (the indictment)."
Bierman said the two men are still the
principal executives of ASH.
Bierman, manager of ASH at Evergreen since October and former manager
of a similar ASH complex in Springfield,
Ore., runs 170 apartment units in 19
buildings at ASH. These apartments are
about 75 per cent full this quarter. In the
past, they have usually been almost 100
per cent full at the beginning of school.
Administrative Vice President Dean
Clabaugh was a major backer for the
contract with ASH in the early 1970's
because of the projected need for more
student housing . ASH opened at Evergreen in 1972.

This is th e seco nd in a five-part series
student governance at Evergreen.

SOUNDING BOARD
by : Lenore Norrgard, Radical Women
Marcel Hatch , Freedom Socialist Party
Regulations establishing the Sounding B~ard come under "In- '
formation, Communications, and Record-Keeping" in the
COG document :
" . . . the College Sou nding Board will meet on a regular
schedu le to facilitate coordinat ion of activit ies among a ll areas
of the Evergreen commun ity. T his group will make recommendations for action as issues pertinent to the college arise . .. It
will constitute a consultative pool or _' sounding board' where
discussion and advice o n issues affecting various areas in the
college can be heard and needs fo r coordination ca n be aired."
(COG document , emphasis added. WAC 174-108-030 (4) (a))
This quote from Evergreen's Committee on Governance document succinctly describes the purpose of the Sounding Board,
It is a body established by the college administration for "community input" into decision-making. The Sounding Board is
one recognized body for community "say" in Evergreen decision -making. All "say" is only "input," because all decisions
are made at the administrative level (WAC 174-108-010 (2)) .
Any student or employee who has encountered any trouble at
Evergreen knows that "input" is not enough . Our "input" is
used by the administration only so long as it serves the administration 's own purposes.
The Soundi~g Board is made up of the college president and
representatives from students, staff and faculty. According to
the COG document , staff and faculty are appointed by their
respective vice-presidents. COG also states that, "They (the
students) will be selected by their fellow students in a manner
to be determined by the students. " (WAC 174-108-030 (4) (b)
(iii) ). The vice-presidents appoint staff and faculty on schedu le,
but there has nev er been a democratic decision made by the
st ud ents on how their representatives are to be selected. The
admin istration simply selects student members randomly by
computer, and notifies them of their membership by mai l.
The above procedures of selecting So unding Board members
is con sis tent with the administration's goa ls of no community
representation in community decisions . The COG document
says, "The Evergreen community should avoid ... decision making constituencies with some so rt of. . . representative
gove rnment ... " (WAC 174-108-010 (2) (h)). In another secti on, however, COG says, "Each (Sounding Board) member
will m eet with the appropriate constituent group" (WAC 174108-030 (4) (d)). Since COG not only provides for no "constit uent groups," but discourages such "co!,stituencies," this last
quote is impossib le to carry o ut.
Every year attendance by students and faculty Sounding
Board members quickly drops off, as they learn how futile
their recommendations can be. Staff attend more frequently,
because Sounding Board attendance is counted as work hours .
A few students and facu lty members continue to come. Some
membe rs come out of dedicated concern over community governance, realizing Sounding Board is all they've got.
Providing an opportunity for groups to gain community support is one of the Sounding Board's most important functions.
Another is providing a medium for members of the campus to
find out what issues are alive on campus. When it comes to
making recommendations, however, members and non-members alike meet with frustration. A group can come and air
their issue , gain support, and perhaps gain a recommendation
in their favor from the Sounding Board. If the recommendation
ca nnot be put to the administration's use, it can be filed away
with other undesirable "input." If the administration adopts the
recommendation, it is held up as an example of successful gov ern an ce and "communication. "
Two examp les from last year of the often - futile results of
Sounding Board recommendations come readily to mind. First
was the John Moss issue. When Moss was appointed to the
position of Director of Personnel , the campus rose up in protest that affirmative action and open hiring were squelched to
in sure that the administration would have control over hiring/
firing, Sounding Board meetings became heated until the Board
passed a recommendation that Moss be removed from the positi on, and that the position be opened up to other prospective
app lica nt s. Dean Clabaugh, President McCann, and the Board
of Trustees politely rej ec ted and filed away this recommendation, To this day Moss is Director of Personnel.
A second example was the effort to have "sexual orientation
a nd political ideology" put in Evergreen's Human Rights Document. Again Sounding Board meetings were crowded and
lively as the community at large spoke in support of the inclusion . The Sounding Board passed a recommendation that
the . Human Rights Document be changed as the community
had decided . Again, McCann did not support the recommendation and the Board of Trustees rejected it in full.
At the last Sounding Board meeting, the Sounding Board
made a recommendation that there should be one autonomous
representative from the Third World Coalition, one from the
women's organiza tions, and one from the Gay Resource Center
on the Board of Trustees. It was important that the different
organizations worked through the Sounding Board to voice
their needs and gain support. The questions we are left with
now are: • liow much weight will the Sounding Board's recommendatio n have with the Board of Trustees? • How much
respect does the administration have for its own organs?
• What is needed is our own democratic governance, to in
sure that our decisions will be carried out?
We must never view the Sounding Board as an alternative to
community government as the administration would have us
believe , We instead should use the Sounding Board to present
our issues and grievances and keep alive the open discussion
and debate necessa for us to decide action,

PEPEROMIA IN THE HOUSE
looking for an unusual and attractive house plant to use in a planter, terrarium, or dish garden? The peperomia is a well-suited house plant if precautions
are taken.
Several interesting and unusual varieties of peperomias include: the "Watermelon" (Sandersu) peperomia with its white and green striped leaves, the "Emerald Ripple leaf" (Caperada) peperomia which has a solid dark green leaf with
several ripples running through it, and the "Princess Astrid" (Orba) peperomia
that has smaller heart -shaped light green leaves . All have low-grow ing, thick
foliage.
Peperomias require a semi-bright indirect light; a north window is best suited.
It is very important that they not be potted in a container that has no holes in
the bottom. Peperomias must have well-drained soil because they are highly susceptible to root rot. They should be watered periodically and allowed to dry out
between waterings. Some of the peperomias are succulents and they store water
in their leaves.
There are three different methods used in propagating peperom ias . The first is
the leaf cutting, where a leaf is cut off (right where the stem joins the leaf) and
placed upright in soil. After se veral weeks (depending on the conditions) a new
plant will grow. Th is type of propagation is usually do ne with the "Emerald Rip ple leaf" a nd the "Watermelon" peperomia.
The second type of propagation is the section or tip cutting, where a whole
stem having several leaves is cut off near the tip of the stem or in sections after
the tip is removed . When taking a tip or section cutting it is important to cut the
stem off right before the next node where the leaf forms . The cutting can then be
put in water or directly in soil and will be rooted within several weeks. This type
of propagation is usually done with the "Princess Astrid" peperomia.
The third type of propagation is the division of one plant into several smaller
plants. This is done by knocking the plant out of the pot and separating the numerous plants that have roots and then putting them each into individual pots.

INSIDE LATIN AMERICA

PANAMA, PNSINACLA (NOV. 3 ) A rival to the Organization of
American States (OAS) which excludes
the United States and includes Cuba has
just been formed in Panama. Called the
Latin American Economic System (SElA),
the group is made up of 25 latin
American and Caribbean nations. Some
of its possib le programs - to ma intain
raw materials prices, establish joint marketing ventures, and retaliate against
nations or corporations whose actions
harm Lati n American countries - may
soon bring SELA into conflict with the
United States.
The organization, proposed initially by
Mexico and Venezuela, will be located in
Caracas, Venez uela .
LIMA, PNSINACLA (NOV. 3) A new sugar cartel in latin America
and the Caribbean aims to increase the
price of sugar from its current 15 cents
per pound to the 20-30 cent range - still
far be low the 1974 peak of 60 cents per
pound.
Called the Association of Sugar
Exporting Countries, the group controls
80 per cent of the world sugar market and
spans the political spectrum from Cuba,
the world's largest sugar exporter, to
Brazil , second only to Cuba in Latin
America : Th e two giants have already
clashed when Brazil opposed on ideological grounds the election of a Cuban as
secretary general. The Cuban won.
BOGATA, NOV. 3 (PNSINACLA) The United States-based Summer Institute of linguistics, invest igating Indian
languages in eight Latin American
countries, has been accused of working
with the CIA.
A government investigation in Columbia has charged Institute members with

SUPPlIES

for_

invo lvement in illegal sterilization of
Indian women, armed attacks against an
Indian tribe, espionage and CIA ties.
According to investigators, the Institute
uses communications equipment and
aircraft that are more Sophisticated than
those of the Columbian military.
The Institute is also under attack from
a group of professors and students in
Lima, Peru, who accuse it of working "to
attain social control over a large portion
of Native American groups through
methods of cultural dissociation, alienation
a nd psychological conditioning. "
TEGUCIGALPA , NOV. 3 (PNSI NACLA)Tho usands of landless peasants in this
poorest of Central American countries _
Honduras - are threatening to seize some
370 , 000 acres if the government of
Col. Juan Alberto Melgar Castro fails to
carry out massive land reform. Organized
into a National Peasants Union, the peasants have already occupied land expropriated by the government.
Some 53 ,000 acres of the land were
confiscated by the government from a
subsidiary of the American corporation
United Brands after a $1.25 million bribe
given by that company to former
president lopez Ardlano was exposed last
spri ng .
PANAMA , NOV. 3 (PNS ) Panama's popular leader, Gen. Omar
Torrijos, has announced that his country
is wil ling to let the United States
administer the Panama Canal until the
end of the century if it dismantles at least
11 of its 14 military bases there. The
United States has opposed closing the
bases, where over 30,000 Latin American
soldiers have been trained - primarily in
counter-insurgency - since World War

II.

This type of propagation is done with peperomias that are hard to root by leaf
cuttings.
Peperomias are a good plant to have when you want something that almost
never outgrows its pot and is very slow-growing. They need humid air so misting
once a week can help make up for the dry heat found in most homes now .

Meanwhile Panama won another diplomatic victory in the Canal Zone fight
when it was elected to the U ,N. Security
Council for two years.
The Council
preViously voted in favor of Panama's
right to the Zone but the United States
vetoed the reso lution.
In the United States, the National
Council of Ch u rches - a Protestant
umbrella organization - has demanded
that the Untied States rec;ognize ' the
sovereign rights of Panama in the Canal
Zone and urged Congress to support the
on-going negotiations between Panama
and the United States.
SANTIAGO, NOV. 3 (PNSINACLA) _
The Chilean junta recently expelled the
Czechoslovakian and East German news
agencies, using the prete>!:t that they had

ties with Radio Moscow.
The move was interpreted h ere,
however, as retaliation for the ouster of
another foreign journalist, Alvara Pineda ,
from the Chilean Foreign Correspondents
Association. Pineda was ousted after he
so ld the Junta a tape record ing of "off the
record" remarks by a Catholic Bishop
denouncing the regime - a tape which
spurred the Junta to mount a major press
campaign against the Bishop .
From 1960 to 1968 Pineda was general
ma nager of a news agency called Orbe
Latinoamericana, described by ex-agent
Philip Agee as a "feature news service ...
financed and controlled by the CIA
through the Santiago station ... to help
orchestrate press campaigns aga inst leftist
leaders."

ONCE OVER LIGHTLY
"Evergreen: Once Over Lightly" is a
play all faculty, staff and students should
see.
The student and graduate produced,
written, and acted play brought cheers of
recognition and commonality as the
actors portrayed grim -comic testimonies
of students chagrin am! anger with the
curriculum planning bureaucracy at Evergreen .
Student-created programs denied at the
last minu te of their assigned faculty after
months of planning, faculty assigned to
programs they have no expertise in or
de s i re to teach and the increasing
impossibility to land individual programs
were just a few of the discrepancies
highlighted in the play to express the
gaping inconsistencies in the "Evergreen
philosophy" of co-learning, and the actual
Evergreen practice of student-absent
curricu lum planning ,

Co nstance Struggle, academic advisor ,
Tammy Tryin g and Brenda Burndt ,
students, and Stu Pidgeon , faculty
member , were some of the major
characters depicted.
The group responsible for "Once Over
Lightly," The Theater of the Unemployed,
hopes this play will act as a catalyst for a
student demand of more power in
Evergreen's curriculum planning process .
Immediately following the pla y , a
d iscussion group of appro x im ately 65
people gathered, and intensely focused on
the possibility of creating student activism
o n this issue .
The play will repeat today, Nov. 13, at
noon in the Lib. Lobby, and all who
haven ' t seen it yet are urged by The
Theatre ' of the Unemployed to attend.
Those who have seen it are encouraged to
bring a friend . A large discussion will
follow.

I fina ll y sent a letter to the

that a). a full tim e fa cu lty or

the sa fe return of the equipment ;
b). a method of data a nalysis be

me. In a ny event , it isn' t surpris ing that the pro ject co llapsed. It s
creators didn ' t realize how long
it takes, in reality, to launch an

suspect th a t they ended up believing th eir ow n rhetoric - that
everyo ne was backing th e project
- when, in fact, they had located no real support at all. If
so, Evergreen ca n h ar d ly be
blamed for the emb arrass ing fias co wh ich they created for themselves.

student governance at Evergreen.

SOUNDING BOARD
by : Lenore Norrgard, Radical Women
Marcel Hatch , Freedom Socialist Party
Regulations establishing the Sounding B~ard come under "In- '
formation, Communications, and Record-Keeping" in the
COG document :
" . . . the College Sou nding Board will meet on a regular
schedu le to facilitate coordinat ion of activit ies among a ll areas
of the Evergreen commun ity. T his group will make recommendations for action as issues pertinent to the college arise . .. It
will constitute a consultative pool or _' sounding board' where
discussion and advice o n issues affecting various areas in the
college can be heard and needs fo r coordination ca n be aired."
(COG document , emphasis added. WAC 174-108-030 (4) (a))
This quote from Evergreen's Committee on Governance document succinctly describes the purpose of the Sounding Board,
It is a body established by the college administration for "community input" into decision-making. The Sounding Board is
one recognized body for community "say" in Evergreen decision -making. All "say" is only "input," because all decisions
are made at the administrative level (WAC 174-108-010 (2)) .
Any student or employee who has encountered any trouble at
Evergreen knows that "input" is not enough . Our "input" is
used by the administration only so long as it serves the administration 's own purposes.
The Soundi~g Board is made up of the college president and
representatives from students, staff and faculty. According to
the COG document , staff and faculty are appointed by their
respective vice-presidents. COG also states that, "They (the
students) will be selected by their fellow students in a manner
to be determined by the students. " (WAC 174-108-030 (4) (b)
(iii) ). The vice-presidents appoint staff and faculty on schedu le,
but there has nev er been a democratic decision made by the
st ud ents on how their representatives are to be selected. The
admin istration simply selects student members randomly by
computer, and notifies them of their membership by mai l.
The above procedures of selecting So unding Board members
is con sis tent with the administration's goa ls of no community
representation in community decisions . The COG document
says, "The Evergreen community should avoid ... decision making constituencies with some so rt of. . . representative
gove rnment ... " (WAC 174-108-010 (2) (h)). In another secti on, however, COG says, "Each (Sounding Board) member
will m eet with the appropriate constituent group" (WAC 174108-030 (4) (d)). Since COG not only provides for no "constit uent groups," but discourages such "co!,stituencies," this last
quote is impossib le to carry o ut.
Every year attendance by students and faculty Sounding
Board members quickly drops off, as they learn how futile
their recommendations can be. Staff attend more frequently,
because Sounding Board attendance is counted as work hours .
A few students and facu lty members continue to come. Some
membe rs come out of dedicated concern over community governance, realizing Sounding Board is all they've got.
Providing an opportunity for groups to gain community support is one of the Sounding Board's most important functions.
Another is providing a medium for members of the campus to
find out what issues are alive on campus. When it comes to
making recommendations, however, members and non-members alike meet with frustration. A group can come and air
their issue , gain support, and perhaps gain a recommendation
in their favor from the Sounding Board. If the recommendation
ca nnot be put to the administration's use, it can be filed away
with other undesirable "input." If the administration adopts the
recommendation, it is held up as an example of successful gov ern an ce and "communication. "
Two examp les from last year of the often - futile results of
Sounding Board recommendations come readily to mind. First
was the John Moss issue. When Moss was appointed to the
position of Director of Personnel , the campus rose up in protest that affirmative action and open hiring were squelched to
in sure that the administration would have control over hiring/
firing, Sounding Board meetings became heated until the Board
passed a recommendation that Moss be removed from the positi on, and that the position be opened up to other prospective
app lica nt s. Dean Clabaugh, President McCann, and the Board
of Trustees politely rej ec ted and filed away this recommendation, To this day Moss is Director of Personnel.
A second example was the effort to have "sexual orientation
a nd political ideology" put in Evergreen's Human Rights Document. Again Sounding Board meetings were crowded and
lively as the community at large spoke in support of the inclusion . The Sounding Board passed a recommendation that
the . Human Rights Document be changed as the community
had decided . Again, McCann did not support the recommendation and the Board of Trustees rejected it in full.
At the last Sounding Board meeting, the Sounding Board
made a recommendation that there should be one autonomous
representative from the Third World Coalition, one from the
women's organiza tions, and one from the Gay Resource Center
on the Board of Trustees. It was important that the different
organizations worked through the Sounding Board to voice
their needs and gain support. The questions we are left with
now are: • liow much weight will the Sounding Board's recommendatio n have with the Board of Trustees? • How much
respect does the administration have for its own organs?
• What is needed is our own democratic governance, to in
sure that our decisions will be carried out?
We must never view the Sounding Board as an alternative to
community government as the administration would have us
believe , We instead should use the Sounding Board to present
our issues and grievances and keep alive the open discussion
and debate necessa for us to decide action,

.

PEPEROMIA IN THE HOUSE
looking for an unusual and attractive house plant to use in a planter, terrarium, or dish garden? The peperomia is a well-suited house plant if precautions
are taken.
Several interesting and unusual varieties of peperomias include: the "Watermelon" (Sandersu) peperomia with its white and green striped leaves, the "Emerald Ripple leaf" (Caperada) peperomia which has a solid dark green leaf with
several ripples running through it, and the "Princess Astrid" (Orba) peperomia
that has smaller heart -shaped light green leaves . All have low-grow ing, thick
foliage.
Peperomias require a semi-bright indirect light; a north window is best suited.
It is very important that they not be potted in a container that has no holes in
the bottom. Peperomias must have well-drained soil because they are highly susceptible to root rot. They should be watered periodically and allowed to dry out
between waterings. Some of the peperomias are succulents and they store water
in their leaves.
There are three different methods used in propagating peperom ias . The first is
the leaf cutting, where a leaf is cut off (right where the stem joins the leaf) and
placed upright in soil. After se veral weeks (depending on the conditions) a new
plant will grow. Th is type of propagation is usually do ne with the "Emerald Rip ple leaf" a nd the "Watermelon" peperomia.
The second type of propagation is the section or tip cutting, where a whole
stem having several leaves is cut off near the tip of the stem or in sections after
the tip is removed . When taking a tip or section cutting it is important to cut the
stem off right before the next node where the leaf forms . The cutting can then be
put in water or directly in soil and will be rooted within several weeks. This type
of propagation is usually done with the "Princess Astrid" peperomia.
The third type of propagation is the division of one plant into several smaller
plants. This is done by knocking the plant out of the pot and separating the numerous plants that have roots and then putting them each into individual pots.

INSIDE LATIN AMERICA

PANAMA, PNSINACLA (NOV. 3 ) A rival to the Organization of
American States (OAS) which excludes
the United States and includes Cuba has
just been formed in Panama. Called the
Latin American Economic System (SElA),
the group is made up of 25 latin
American and Caribbean nations. Some
of its possib le programs - to ma intain
raw materials prices, establish joint marketing ventures, and retaliate against
nations or corporations whose actions
harm Lati n American countries - may
soon bring SELA into conflict with the
United States.
The organization, proposed initially by
Mexico and Venezuela, will be located in
Caracas, Venez uela .
LIMA, PNSINACLA (NOV. 3) A new sugar cartel in latin America
and the Caribbean aims to increase the
price of sugar from its current 15 cents
per pound to the 20-30 cent range - still
far be low the 1974 peak of 60 cents per
pound.
Called the Association of Sugar
Exporting Countries, the group controls
80 per cent of the world sugar market and
spans the political spectrum from Cuba,
the world's largest sugar exporter, to
Brazil , second only to Cuba in Latin
America : Th e two giants have already
clashed when Brazil opposed on ideological grounds the election of a Cuban as
secretary general. The Cuban won.
BOGATA, NOV. 3 (PNSINACLA) The United States-based Summer Institute of linguistics, invest igating Indian
languages in eight Latin American
countries, has been accused of working
with the CIA.
A government investigation in Columbia has charged Institute members with

SUPPlIES

for_

invo lvement in illegal sterilization of
Indian women, armed attacks against an
Indian tribe, espionage and CIA ties.
According to investigators, the Institute
uses communications equipment and
aircraft that are more Sophisticated than
those of the Columbian military.
The Institute is also under attack from
a group of professors and students in
Lima, Peru, who accuse it of working "to
attain social control over a large portion
of Native American groups through
methods of cultural dissociation, alienation
a nd psychological conditioning. "
TEGUCIGALPA , NOV. 3 (PNSI NACLA)Tho usands of landless peasants in this
poorest of Central American countries _
Honduras - are threatening to seize some
370 , 000 acres if the government of
Col. Juan Alberto Melgar Castro fails to
carry out massive land reform. Organized
into a National Peasants Union, the peasants have already occupied land expropriated by the government.
Some 53 ,000 acres of the land were
confiscated by the government from a
subsidiary of the American corporation
United Brands after a $1.25 million bribe
given by that company to former
president lopez Ardlano was exposed last
spri ng .
PANAMA , NOV. 3 (PNS ) Panama's popular leader, Gen. Omar
Torrijos, has announced that his country
is wil ling to let the United States
administer the Panama Canal until the
end of the century if it dismantles at least
11 of its 14 military bases there. The
United States has opposed closing the
bases, where over 30,000 Latin American
soldiers have been trained - primarily in
counter-insurgency - since World War

II.

This type of propagation is done with peperomias that are hard to root by leaf
cuttings.
Peperomias are a good plant to have when you want something that almost
never outgrows its pot and is very slow-growing. They need humid air so misting
once a week can help make up for the dry heat found in most homes now .

Meanwhile Panama won another diplomatic victory in the Canal Zone fight
when it was elected to the U ,N. Security
Council for two years.
The Council
preViously voted in favor of Panama's
right to the Zone but the United States
vetoed the reso lution.
In the United States, the National
Council of Ch u rches - a Protestant
umbrella organization - has demanded
that the Untied States rec;ognize ' the
sovereign rights of Panama in the Canal
Zone and urged Congress to support the
on-going negotiations between Panama
and the United States.
SANTIAGO, NOV. 3 (PNSINACLA) _
The Chilean junta recently expelled the
Czechoslovakian and East German news
agencies, using the prete>!:t that they had

ties with Radio Moscow.
The move was interpreted h ere,
however, as retaliation for the ouster of
another foreign journalist, Alvara Pineda ,
from the Chilean Foreign Correspondents
Association. Pineda was ousted after he
so ld the Junta a tape record ing of "off the
record" remarks by a Catholic Bishop
denouncing the regime - a tape which
spurred the Junta to mount a major press
campaign against the Bishop .
From 1960 to 1968 Pineda was general
ma nager of a news agency called Orbe
Latinoamericana, described by ex-agent
Philip Agee as a "feature news service ...
financed and controlled by the CIA
through the Santiago station ... to help
orchestrate press campaigns aga inst leftist
leaders."

ONCE OVER LIGHTLY
"Evergreen: Once Over Lightly" is a
play all faculty, staff and students should
see.
The student and graduate produced,
written, and acted play brought cheers of
recognition and commonality as the
actors portrayed grim -comic testimonies
of students chagrin am! anger with the
curriculum planning bureaucracy at Evergreen .
Student-created programs denied at the
last minu te of their assigned faculty after
months of planning, faculty assigned to
programs they have no expertise in or
de s i re to teach and the increasing
impossibility to land individual programs
were just a few of the discrepancies
highlighted in the play to express the
gaping inconsistencies in the "Evergreen
philosophy" of co-learning, and the actual
Evergreen practice of student-absent
curricu lum planning ,

Co nstance Struggle, academic advisor ,
Tammy Tryin g and Brenda Burndt ,
students, and Stu Pidgeon , faculty
member , were some of the major
characters depicted.
The group responsible for "Once Over
Lightly," The Theater of the Unemployed,
hopes this play will act as a catalyst for a
student demand of more power in
Evergreen's curriculum planning process .
Immediately following the pla y , a
d iscussion group of appro x im ately 65
people gathered, and intensely focused on
the possibility of creating student activism
o n this issue .
The play will repeat today, Nov. 13, at
noon in the Lib. Lobby, and all who
haven ' t seen it yet are urged by The
Theatre ' of the Unemployed to attend.
Those who have seen it are encouraged to
bring a friend . A large discussion will
follow.

BY'MICHAEL CORRIGAN
Last week's Jotlrnal had several rather
intere s tin g thin gs in it which ref lect
viv idl y the sad state w hich 1 feel we are in
th ese days. I'm sure tha t 1 wa s not alone
as I f1ucua ted betwee n laug ht er and anger
w hile reading the " Socialis t Feminist

beca use I thi nk it shows rathe r cl early the
ir respon si bl e b eh av io r o f Ev erg reen 's
spec ia l interest g ro ups.
For th o>t' w h o don ' t r eca ll that
interesting litt le di a tribe, it dea lt with the
a ll eged imperJect io n s of th e pr'es ent
governa nce system at Evergree n .
While the a rticle co uld eas il y be refuted
on a pll int-by-poin t basis, space limitation, require tha t I o nl y voice m y general
di sa pproval of th e goa ls of that a rticle. I
sho uld sa ,· before 1 do so th at I ha ve
never been an apologist fo r th e occas io n<lily mi slTl il naged go vernance system a nd 1
have pu blical l\' stated tha t d is'a pp rova l in
the pa st.
Last week 's article proposed t h at
dpmocrat ic proced ures be implemrnt ed o n
th is camp us. 1 di sag ree wit h thi s because I
sti ll fpel that o ur present system is bassed
o n int e ll igent ass umpti o n s w hi c h are
ex plain ed in the COG docu men t. Th at is,
however . besides th e point he re. Lets loo k
a t " Dr m ouacy " as propo sed by thi s
article .
Fo r those who on ly glanced at the
ar t ic le . it m ay ha ve been humorou s
because de lTl ocra ti c process wou ld al most
inev itab ly red uce the power of minority
g roup s o n cam pu s . 1 com e to this
co nclusion because my rea ding of the
moo d o n cam pus leadS' me to believe that
the well o f liberal, whi te guilt is almos t
d ry. Ma n}' people a re beco ming increasing ly irritated bv the nonsense which
these peo ple have ·perpetrated.
Of co urse, a closer reading of the
article shows the true inten tion s of some
of these minorities. They don 't want
democracy at all. At least they don't ;""ant
democracy for the schoo l as a wh o le .
Their article is full of "givens," many of
which are entirely arbitrary, For instance,
in order for the gay co mmunity to elect
its represent atives (15 %). it is necessary
to assu me that so meone or someth ing
(God?) has det e rmin ed that they are
entitled to a voice. [f they wish to have
represen ta tion in the first place, let's put it
to a vo te . I'm not saying that they sho ul d
or shou ld not have it a t this point but if
they desire democracy , let 's begin at the
begin nin g .
In a tru e demo cracv, a ll students would
be enti tled to vo te fo r a ll represent at ives .
You can be sure Lo find man y of the
minori ties a rgu ing ag in st thi s one however. They wou ld say tha t o nl y women
ca n vote for women .e tc. What no nsense ! I
fee l perfec tl y qua lif ed to vote for a
woman , Third Wor lder, o r anyone else
wh o is co mpe tent. Co mp etency is the
issue. Ce rtain ly those entill ed to it dese rve
represen ta ti on , but how is th is to be
determ ine d ? In order to b e trul y
democra tic , I wo ul d say that the number
of th ose o n cam pu s in various minorities
wo uld be a good way to start, i.e., 50
pe rce nt women, 10-15 percent min or ities.
In co nc lu s ion , factionali sm on thi s
ca mpu s is self-defea ting for a ll of us. If
so me of us continu e to press for fac tional
po li cies, the result is alm ost predictable .
Whethe r the minorit y likes it or not, they
sti ll comprise a rather minut e quantity of
Evergreen's population . Unless they begin
to act in a somewhat respo nsi ble manner,
the reaction which de Toquevi lle would
probab ly ca ll the "Tyran n y of the
Majori ty," is inevitable. While it would
probably se rve them right, it would be a
loss for a ll of us.

'FLU SHOTS
The word from Hea lth Se rvices is that
th ey will not be giving flu shots on a
w holesa le basis this year. According to
Evergreen's nurse practio ner, Judy Libby,
the philosophy now current in medica l
circl es is tha t vaccinations for flu a re not
in d icated for heal'hy yo ung adults.
Jud y did emph asize that students who
beco me ill should get checked by Health
Services to rule out other complications
such as strep in fection or mononucleosis.

GEODUCKS SPLIT PAIR
Evergreen's "Golden Geoduck" men 's
soccer team split in their last two games .
They took a blow to the neck against
Alki Lumber of West Seattle, 2-1 , but
they rebounded to squirt out a win over
Pacific Coast Investment, also of Seattle,
3-2, o n Nov. 9.
Aga inst Alki , which was described by
Eve rgree n coach Derek Golkingay as
"the most physical game of the year,"
the Geoducks drew blood first on a goal
by Ross Jones. But they proceeded to lose
after that, one reason being that many
Geod uck Players were no t at the game:
Sco tt Henderson got two goals and
Dick Jones on in the win over Pacific.
O nce again, Evergreen was short-handed,
with five starters missing because they
were studying.

SOUNDING BOARD
Women's soccer , student participation
in curriculum planning and the previo usly
elected representat ives to the Boa rd of
Tru stees were the on ly topics of business
during a short Sou nding Board meeting
Wedn esday (Nov. 12) morning .
Kay V . Ladd presented the first item of
business - the funding of women 's soccer
league. Unlike the men 's league which is
funded by the S&A Board, women's
soccer receives no monetary support other
than that which they provide themselves.
The group has managed to stay afloat
through their own efforts (bake sales and
the like ) but Ladd felt they should "devote
th eir time to playing soccer, not selling
cookies and cakes," Ladd wanted the
Sounding Board to a pprove a recommendation to the S&A Board that women's
soccer be advanced the $700 it needs to
su rvive,
Rick Tessandore from the Rec Center
sa id that he felt that sending a
recomm endation to the S&A Board would
accomplish very little· as S&A monies
were exhausted . Ladd noted that the
co llege was required, under the Federal
Title IX regul ations, to p rovide equal
fu nding for both men's and women's
athleti cs. The women could have filed
Titl e IX charges , said Ladd , However, the
ma in reason for lack of financing was that
the women's s6ccer league did not get
organized until after S&A monies were
appo rti o ned for the year.
Academic dea n in charge of curriculum
Lynn Patterson spoke next concerning
curricu lum p lanning fo r next year. She
sa id sh e h as just re leased a seco nd
planning d ocume nt w h ich ou tlin es 20
points wh ich sh ou ld be included in
programs offered next fall .
Students in teR!sted in curricu lu m plan-

ning have been identified in current
programs. Their main job will be to
critique program proposals and provide
inp ut into the curriculum process, All
program proposals for next fall are due
by Friday .

Hudson also hopes that ASH would be
featuring music and other live entertainment every Sunday beginning Nov , 30.
This would aJso be run under the auspices
of the Evergreen Coffeehouse.
The Empathy Room will also contain a
fu ll games room -- including pool,
pinball, air hockey, pong, etc. -- and a
snack bar serving oven-cooked food , ice
cream , yogurt and snacks,
The fact that Hudson is being kept on
as manager and that the coffeehouse is
go in g to be revived apparent ly squelches
rumo rs that Hudson was go ing to be let
go fro m her position and that food
services at ASH would be co mpletely
a utomated.
'Those rumors are completel y fa lse,"
said Dav id Bierm an , manager of ASH.
"Page is definitely not leav ing and she is
ve ry good in the Rec. Hall ."
Hud son is a lso bookkeeper for the
Com post Food Co-op , a three-week-old
co-oP ' made up of about 25 households
from ASH a nd the Mods. She said that
pe rhap s within a week or tw o, th e
Com post Co-op will be qualified to use
food stamp s in m ak in g co -op transactions, as she is filing the proper form s
now .

Displeasure was expressed with the fact
th at the organized women 's groups
(Women 's Center, Third World Women,
etc.) were chOOSing the fema le representati ve to th e Boa rd of Trustees. Women not
ali gned with any o f these groups weren't
being given a voice .
Ed Korm o ndy , speaking for President
M cCa nn , sa id th at McCann felt he
co uldn 't perso nail y s upport a "constitu encey-based representative" such as the
So undin g Bo ar d had approv ed. Kormondy fe lt that th e Board of Trustees

The Men 's Resource Center, Counseling

something that, to my knowledge, has

of the Men's Reso urce Center in
describing the reasons behind the workshop.
"\ feel that men are basically ignorant
about th eir phy s iolog y and health

people to adapt parts of several proven
co-op methods to their gro up . For politi ca l, philosophi ca l and nutritiona l discus sion , readers should look elsewhere, but
for mechani cs, this is a highly reco m mended book.
Less thorough but still helpful is How

Chicago, III., 60601 , $1). In 35 pages, the
Pro ject offers a brief hi story of the coop movement 's roots, an operations ou tline, operating papers by severa l co-ops,

PORTLAND happenings:
(we're expanding our range)
Two Evergreeners, Kathleen
Meighan and Ford Gilbreath, are
showing their photographs at
THE BLUE SKY on 2315 NW
Lovejoy St., Portland. Their
photos are good and if you' re
there it pays to stop and see
them .
Also on view through January
4 at the Art Museum will be a
show of wooden musical instruments. In the museum until December 7 are paintings by Port land artist Sally Haley , Her
show includes 28 paintings dated
from 1952 to the present and incorporates a clean -lined treatment of apparently simple objec ts that often suggests dimen sions of meaning not immediately apparent in the scenes represented . If you're in Portland,
stopping off at the museum will
not be wasted time by any
mea ns.
SEATTLE happenings : (we'll
get to Olympia soon enough)
The Seattle Opera House prese nts on Satu rda y, November

An original play , "Evergreen:
Once Over Lightly , " explores
somewhat less than lightly with
the his tory and dynamics of curriculum development at Evergreen, focusing on students' frustrations with their limited role in
curriculum design, Written and
directed by Evergreen students,
the play will be presented Thursday, November 13 at noon in
the Library Lobby, The questions
examined are important to every
student at our haven (7) and
should not be missed, It's a good
place to munch on lunch .

If there's a ny way you can catch
him at one of the three places do
so ; it'll be well worth the effort.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14
Applejam brings Jane Voss,
courtesy of Eye-5 , to their stage
with an evening of · traditi o nal
American Country songs, with a
particular emphas is on the music
of the C a rter Fam ily, a popular
music troupe from the 1930s .
Sharing the evening will be
Thomas Lee, Applejam Coordi nator and singer of American
and Irish folk songs, unaccompanied ballads and. music on the
guitar, banjo and mandolin , It
will be a typically enjoyable evening. Door opens at 8 and a one
dollar donation is asked.
SATURDAY,NOVEMBER15
App lejam , in conjunction with
Eye-5 does it again, this time in
the form of Harvey Pittel. ba roque , pop, romantic and rock
saxophone player par excellence,
Pitter s concerts embrace the entire scope of the music world
and demonstrate time and time
again to a udience and critic a like
his command of the saxophone
and its chameleon-like sounds,
The broadest possible range of
music will be covered in this o ne
evening's entertainment. Don't
miss it, or try not to, anyway ,
He will also be at Evergreen at
9 : 30 a.m. on Monday the 17th,
but I don't know where , The
blurb I got said that perfonnance
is for music students only, but
this is Evergreen .
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16
"Broad Broad Broadway," a
revue performed by the Seattle
Performing Musical Theatre
Workshop and presented by the
Evergree n Coffeehaus is conceived as a show designed to
showcase the talents of a variety
of performers in a variety of
fields , It will be presen ted as a
live musical performance in
Lecture Hall One at 8 p .m . A
one d o llar donation is requested.
The body of the show is the interp lay (a fam ili ar Evergreen
word from days gone by) of the
various cha racters auditioning their conceptions of themselves
(a first cousin to another Evergreen idea), their images of each
other, their beliefs in talents that
don't exist and the disbelief in
the ones that do (that sounded
mighty metaphysica l to me) , The
perfonnance at Evergreen will
. consist of 30 actors, singers and

dancers, whose primary concerns
are with the field of entertainment (no, I won't be performing).
The show maintains the audition
atmosphere as its format and so
does the closeness between audience and performers. It should
be an evening much better than
the n ame makes it out to be. Try
it , You can always come up and
bitch at me if it's bad.
Film Series info:
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14
Friday Night Film Series presents Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece, "Rashomon" at 7 and 9: 30
p .m. in Lecture Hall One, Admission is 50 cents. Set in the
Middle Ages, "Rashomon" probes
the ungraspable quicksilver nature of truth and subjective reality (and I bet you thought only
Woody Allen bothered with stuff
lik e that). Kurosawa cleverly
manipulates flashback techniques
to mold the case history of a
man's murder and the rape of his
wife by a bandit , played by
Toshiro Mifune . It is Kurosawa
at hi s finest.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15
The Evergreen Coffeehaus presents "Portrait of Jenny" with
Lillian Gish, Jennifer Jones, Ethel
Barrymore and Joseph Co tt on at
7 a nd 9 p .m. in Lecture Hall
One. Admissio n is 50 cents. Jo seph Cotton plays a New York
. artist (prior to its now near-defun ct state) infatuated with a
woman whose reality is in question. Romance (reads the info
blurb in fro nt of me) attempts to
remain a live in spite of time and
reality, T ake a hot knife and any
pent up angers a nd /or frustratio ns with you ; it'll be a good
place to dump the m.
MONDAY , NOVEMBER 17
The Monday Night Film a nd
Speaker Series will be showing
" Women in Vietnam" at 7:30
p.m , in Lecture Hall One ,
"Wom e n ... :' a s lid e show
brought" back by popu lar dema nd , sho uld provide an exce llent spark for the open discussion
to follow. There has been no
single speaker assigned tha t I
know of, but the discussion will
be more than worth the trip.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18
Faculty Film Series presents
Fritz Lang's " Fu:-y" at 2 and 7: 30
p.m . in Lecture Hall One. No
adm iss ion . Starring ' Spencer
Tracy, "Fury" focuses on the
lynch mo bs and xenophobia of
the Thirties . Lang uses realistic
expressioni sm to explore America
in this, his first film in America.
WEDNESDA Y NOVEMBER 19
Margo St. James, chairmadam
of COYOTE, will discuss "The
Prostitute as a Political Prisoner"
in a free public address at Ever green in Lecture Hall One start ~
ing at 7 p .m . (see story page I) ,
A 25- minut e movie , entitled
"Hookers" w ill precede Ms. St.
James' talk . Shot partly at a Halloween ball that COYOTE
hosted, partl y on the street a nd
partly during meetings between
Margo St . James and interested
women, "Hookers" is done in
semi-d ocumentary style and is
far from salacious. Showing the
way in which enlightened, selfemp loyed women go about the
business of pleasing men, the
maj o r desire of the film is to dis pel the idea that hookers are for
last resort sex . Prod uced and di rected by Ma x Scherr and
George Csicsery , Kate Coleman
said of " Hookers" that it "belongs to the women them selves.
It 's their show . ;. Don't think
'Hookers' is either a glossover or
an apo logy, In ' Hookers' the rea lity is as you find it - and that
may well surprise yo u ." (That's
the fi rs t time today I've typed
the word "reali ty" and fe lt it's
meant a damn thing.) Toodles ,

A DOLL'S HOUSE'
The great theatrical classic, "The Doll's House" by Henrik
Ibsen, will open at The Evergreen State College November 20
for five consecutive days and a total of seven perfonnances, including two matinee productions.
Directed by faculty member Andre Tsai, the production is
part of the " Live and Recorded" program, and will be staged in
the Library Lobby at 8 p .m, November 20 - 24th , and at 2
p .m. November 21 and 24 .
A ten-student cast, led by Alyson Garland , a Seattle sopho more as Nora, and Steve Smalley, an Olympia freshman , as
her husband Helmer, will present the dramatic classic, aptly
cited by feminists as an example of women's oppression by the
society in which they live .
Written in 1879 by the Norwegian playwright, "The Doll's
House" aroused a storm of controversy when first presented .
Clergy and laymen alike saw it as an immoral attack on the
sanctity of marriage and an obscene denial of a wife's primary
duty to her husband and chi ldren, But there's much more to
the play. It touches on humanity's almost helpless conditio n as
it attemp ts to contro l rather than be controlled by the environment. It explores the freeing as well as devastating impact of
rea lity on th ose who live under illusions, and it offers subtl e
com ment on the levels of consciousness at wh ich we all live.
Nora and her husband Helmer live in an illusion-filled mar riage, sa ns communication. Nora renounces her individualit y
a nd pretends to be much less than she is for the sake of main taining Helmer's ego. To do so, she allows and eve n ma in ta ins
a dishonest personal relatio nship with him.
Helmer does not call Nora by na me, nor refer to her as a
woman, but always as "featherhead," "songb ird, " or so me
other obn oxio us epithet. And together , the tw o struggle to preserve their illu sions w hil e the maj o r action centers around the
destruction of the very illusions they try so desperately ha rd to
ho ld o nto .
Tickets for the play cost $1.00 for stu dents and $2.00 fo r
ot he rs a nd are avai la ble at Yenney 's Musi c Store, Th e Music
Bar, a nd a t the door.

GO.SERVATIVE
BACHLASH

BY'MICHAEL CORRIGAN
Last week's Jotlrnal had several rather
intere s tin g thin gs in it which ref lect
viv idl y the sad state w hich 1 feel we are in
th ese days. I'm sure tha t 1 wa s not alone
as I f1ucua ted betwee n laug ht er and anger
w hile reading the " Socialis t Feminist
Speak " a rticle . I men ti o n t hi s a rti c le
beca use I thi nk it shows rathe r cl early the
ir respon si bl e b eh av io r o f Ev erg reen 's
spec ia l interest g ro ups.
For th o>t' w h o don ' t r eca ll that
interesting litt le di a tribe, it dea lt with the
a ll eged imperJect io n s of th e pr'es ent
governa nce system at Evergree n .
While the a rticle co uld eas il y be refuted
on a pll int-by-poin t basis, space limitation, require tha t I o nl y voice m y general
di sa pproval of th e goa ls of that a rticle. I
sho uld sa ,· before 1 do so th at I ha ve
never been an apologist fo r th e occas io n<lily mi slTl il naged go vernance system a nd 1
have pu blical l\' stated tha t d is'a pp rova l in
the pa st.
Last week 's article proposed t h at
dpmocrat ic proced ures be implemrnt ed o n
th is camp us. 1 di sag ree wit h thi s because I
sti ll fpel that o ur present system is bassed
o n int e ll igent ass umpti o n s w hi c h are
ex plain ed in the COG docu men t. Th at is,
however . besides th e point he re. Lets loo k
a t " Dr m ouacy " as propo sed by thi s
article .
Fo r those who on ly glanced at the
ar t ic le . it m ay ha ve been humorou s
because de lTl ocra ti c process wou ld al most
inev itab ly red uce the power of minority
g roup s o n cam pu s . 1 com e to this
co nclusion because my rea ding of the
moo d o n cam pus leadS' me to believe that
the well o f liberal, whi te guilt is almos t
d ry. Ma n}' people a re beco ming increasing ly irritated bv the nonsense which
these peo ple have ·perpetrated.
Of co urse, a closer reading of the
article shows the true inten tion s of some
of these minorities. They don 't want
democracy at all. At least they don't ;""ant
democracy for the schoo l as a wh o le .
Their article is full of "givens," many of
which are entirely arbitrary, For instance,
in order for the gay co mmunity to elect
its represent atives (15 %). it is necessary
to assu me that so meone or someth ing
(God?) has det e rmin ed that they are
entitled to a voice. [f they wish to have
represen ta tion in the first place, let's put it
to a vo te . I'm not saying that they sho ul d
or shou ld not have it a t this point but if
they desire democracy , let 's begin at the
begin nin g .
In a tru e demo cracv, a ll students would
be enti tled to vo te fo r a ll represent at ives .
You can be sure Lo find man y of the
minori ties a rgu ing ag in st thi s one however. They wou ld say tha t o nl y women
ca n vote for women .e tc. What no nsense ! I
fee l perfec tl y qua lif ed to vote for a
woman , Third Wor lder, o r anyone else
wh o is co mpe tent. Co mp etency is the
issue. Ce rtain ly those entill ed to it dese rve
represen ta ti on , but how is th is to be
determ ine d ? In order to b e trul y
democra tic , I wo ul d say that the number
of th ose o n cam pu s in various minorities
wo uld be a good way to start, i.e., 50
pe rce nt women, 10-15 percent min or ities.
In co nc lu s ion , factionali sm on thi s
ca mpu s is self-defea ting for a ll of us. If
so me of us continu e to press for fac tional
po li cies, the result is alm ost predictable .
Whethe r the minorit y likes it or not, they
sti ll comprise a rather minut e quantity of
Evergreen's population . Unless they begin
to act in a somewhat respo nsi ble manner,
the reaction which de Toquevi lle would
probab ly ca ll the "Tyran n y of the
Majori ty," is inevitable. While it would
probably se rve them right, it would be a
loss for a ll of us.

'FLU SHOTS
The word from Hea lth Se rvices is that
th ey will not be giving flu shots on a
w holesa le basis this year. According to
Evergreen's nurse practio ner, Judy Libby,
the philosophy now current in medica l
circl es is tha t vaccinations for flu a re not
in d icated for heal'hy yo ung adults.
Jud y did emph asize that students who
beco me ill should get checked by Health
Services to rule out other complications
such as strep in fection or mononucleosis.

GEODUCKS SPLIT PAIR
Evergreen's "Golden Geoduck" men 's
soccer team split in their last two games .
They took a blow to the neck against
Alki Lumber of West Seattle, 2-1 , but
they rebounded to squirt out a win over
Pacific Coast Investment, also of Seattle,
3-2, o n Nov. 9.
Aga inst Alki , which was described by
Eve rgree n coach Derek Golkingay as
"the most physical game of the year,"
the Geoducks drew blood first on a goal
by Ross Jones. But they proceeded to lose
after that, one reason being that many
Geod uck Players were no t at the game:
Sco tt Henderson got two goals and
Dick Jones on in the win over Pacific.
O nce again, Evergreen was short-handed,
with five starters missing because they
were studying.
In other soccer news, the Evergreen
wo men 's team , which recently returned
from a tourn ament at Pullman , wi ll play
a women's team from Vashon Isla nd
Sa turday , Nov. 15, a t 11 :30 am on the
Geo duck playfie ld .

SOUNDING BOARD
Women's soccer , student participation
in curriculum planning and the previo usly
elected representat ives to the Boa rd of
Tru stees were the on ly topics of business
during a short Sou nding Board meeting
Wedn esday (Nov. 12) morning .
Kay V . Ladd presented the first item of
business - the funding of women 's soccer
league. Unlike the men 's league which is
funded by the S&A Board, women's
soccer receives no monetary support other
than that which they provide themselves.
The group has managed to stay afloat
through their own efforts (bake sales and
the like ) but Ladd felt they should "devote
th eir time to playing soccer, not selling
cookies and cakes," Ladd wanted the
Sounding Board to a pprove a recommendation to the S&A Board that women's
soccer be advanced the $700 it needs to
su rvive,
Rick Tessandore from the Rec Center
sa id that he felt that sending a
recomm endation to the S&A Board would
accomplish very little· as S&A monies
were exhausted . Ladd noted that the
co llege was required, under the Federal
Title IX regul ations, to p rovide equal
fu nding for both men's and women's
athleti cs. The women could have filed
Titl e IX charges , said Ladd , However, the
ma in reason for lack of financing was that
the women's s6ccer league did not get
organized until after S&A monies were
appo rti o ned for the year.
Academic dea n in charge of curriculum
Lynn Patterson spoke next concerning
curricu lum p lanning fo r next year. She
sa id sh e h as just re leased a seco nd
planning d ocume nt w h ich ou tlin es 20
points wh ich sh ou ld be included in
programs offered next fall .
Students in teR!sted in curricu lu m plan-

ning have been identified in current
programs. Their main job will be to
critique program proposals and provide
inp ut into the curriculum process, All
program proposals for next fall are due
by Friday .

Hudson also hopes that ASH would be
featuring music and other live entertainment every Sunday beginning Nov , 30.
This would aJso be run under the auspices
of the Evergreen Coffeehouse.
The Empathy Room will also contain a
fu ll games room -- including pool,
pinball, air hockey, pong, etc. -- and a
snack bar serving oven-cooked food , ice
cream , yogurt and snacks,
The fact that Hudson is being kept on
as manager and that the coffeehouse is
go in g to be revived apparent ly squelches
rumo rs that Hudson was go ing to be let
go fro m her position and that food
services at ASH would be co mpletely
a utomated.
'Those rumors are completel y fa lse,"
said Dav id Bierm an , manager of ASH.
"Page is definitely not leav ing and she is

PORTLAND happenings:
(we're expanding our range)
Two Evergreeners, Kathleen
Meighan and Ford Gilbreath, are

them .
Also on view through January
4 at the Art Museum will be a
show of wooden musical instruments. In the museum until December 7 are paintings by Port land artist Sally Haley , Her
show includes 28 paintings dated
from 1952 to the present and incorporates a clean -lined treatment of apparently simple objec ts that often suggests dimen sions of meaning not immediately apparent in the scenes represented . If you're in Portland,
stopping off at the museum will
not be wasted time by any
mea ns.

courtesy of Eye-5 , to their stage
with an evening of · traditi o nal
American Country songs, with a
particular emphas is on the music
of the C a rter Fam ily, a popular
music troupe from the 1930s .
Sharing the evening will be
Thomas Lee, Applejam Coordi nator and singer of American
and Irish folk songs, unaccompanied ballads and. music on the
guitar, banjo and mandolin , It
will be a typically enjoyable evening. Door opens at 8 and a one

SATURDAY,NOVEMBER15
App lejam , in conjunction with
Eye-5 does it again, this time in
the form of Harvey Pittel. ba roque , pop, romantic and rock
saxophone player par excellence,
Pitter s concerts embrace the entire scope of the music world
and demonstrate time and time
again to a udience and critic a like
his command of the saxophone
and its chameleon-like sounds,
The broadest possible range of
music will be covered in this o ne
evening's entertainment. Don't
miss it, or try not to, anyway ,
He will also be at Evergreen at
9 : 30 a.m. on Monday the 17th,
but I don't know where , The
blurb I got said that perfonnance
is for music students only, but
this is Evergreen .
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16
"Broad Broad Broadway," a
revue performed by the Seattle
Performing Musical Theatre
Workshop and presented by the
Evergree n Coffeehaus is conceived as a show designed to
showcase the talents of a variety
of performers in a variety of
fields , It will be presen ted as a
live musical performance in
Lecture Hall One at 8 p .m . A
one d o llar donation is requested.
The body of the show is the interp lay (a fam ili ar Evergreen
word from days gone by) of the
various cha racters auditioning their conceptions of themselves
(a first cousin to another Evergreen idea), their images of each
other, their beliefs in talents that
don't exist and the disbelief in
the ones that do (that sounded
mighty metaphysica l to me) , The
perfonnance at Evergreen will
. consist of 30 actors, singers and

dancers, whose primary concerns
are with the field of entertainment (no, I won't be performing).
The show maintains the audition
atmosphere as its format and so
does the closeness between audience and performers. It should
be an evening much better than
the n ame makes it out to be. Try
it , You can always come up and
bitch at me if it's bad.
Film Series info:
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14
Friday Night Film Series presents Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece, "Rashomon" at 7 and 9: 30
p .m. in Lecture Hall One, Admission is 50 cents. Set in the
Middle Ages, "Rashomon" probes
the ungraspable quicksilver nature of truth and subjective reality (and I bet you thought only
Woody Allen bothered with stuff
lik e that). Kurosawa cleverly
manipulates flashback techniques
to mold the case history of a
man's murder and the rape of his
wife by a bandit , played by
Toshiro Mifune . It is Kurosawa
at hi s finest.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15
The Evergreen Coffeehaus presents "Portrait of Jenny" with
Lillian Gish, Jennifer Jones, Ethel
Barrymore and Joseph Co tt on at
7 a nd 9 p .m. in Lecture Hall
One. Admissio n is 50 cents. Jo seph Cotton plays a New York
. artist (prior to its now near-defun ct state) infatuated with a
woman whose reality is in question. Romance (reads the info
blurb in fro nt of me) attempts to
remain a live in spite of time and
reality, T ake a hot knife and any
pent up angers a nd /or frustratio ns with you ; it'll be a good
place to dump the m.
MONDAY , NOVEMBER 17
The Monday Night Film a nd
Speaker Series will be showing
" Women in Vietnam" at 7:30

"Wom e n ... :' a s lid e show

be more than worth the trip.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18
Faculty Film Series presents
Fritz Lang's " Fu:-y" at 2 and 7: 30
p.m . in Lecture Hall One. No

in this, his first film in America.
WEDNESDA Y NOVEMBER 19
Margo St. James, chairmadam
of COYOTE, will discuss "The
Prostitute as a Political Prisoner"
in a free public address at Ever green in Lecture Hall One start ~
ing at 7 p .m . (see story page I) ,
A 25- minut e movie , entitled
"Hookers" w ill precede Ms. St.
James' talk . Shot partly at a Halloween ball that COYOTE
hosted, partl y on the street a nd
partly during meetings between
Margo St . James and interested
women, "Hookers" is done in
semi-d ocumentary style and is
far from salacious. Showing the
way in which enlightened, selfemp loyed women go about the
business of pleasing men, the
maj o r desire of the film is to dis pel the idea that hookers are for
last resort sex . Prod uced and di rected by Ma x Scherr and
George Csicsery , Kate Coleman
said of " Hookers" that it "belongs to the women them selves.
It 's their show . ;. Don't think
'Hookers' is either a glossover or
an apo logy, In ' Hookers' the rea lity is as you find it - and that
may well surprise yo u ." (That's
the fi rs t time today I've typed
the word "reali ty" and fe lt it's
meant a damn thing.) Toodles ,

A DOLL'S HOUSE'
The great theatrical classic, "The Doll's House" by Henrik
Ibsen, will open at The Evergreen State College November 20
for five consecutive days and a total of seven perfonnances, including two matinee productions.
Directed by faculty member Andre Tsai, the production is
part of the " Live and Recorded" program, and will be staged in
the Library Lobby at 8 p .m, November 20 - 24th , and at 2
p .m. November 21 and 24 .
A ten-student cast, led by Alyson Garland , a Seattle sopho more as Nora, and Steve Smalley, an Olympia freshman , as
her husband Helmer, will present the dramatic classic, aptly
cited by feminists as an example of women's oppression by the
society in which they live .
Written in 1879 by the Norwegian playwright, "The Doll's
House" aroused a storm of controversy when first presented .
Clergy and laymen alike saw it as an immoral attack on the
sanctity of marriage and an obscene denial of a wife's primary
duty to her husband and chi ldren, But there's much more to
the play. It touches on humanity's almost helpless conditio n as
it attemp ts to contro l rather than be controlled by the environment. It explores the freeing as well as devastating impact of
rea lity on th ose who live under illusions, and it offers subtl e
com ment on the levels of consciousness at wh ich we all live.
Nora and her husband Helmer live in an illusion-filled mar riage, sa ns communication. Nora renounces her individualit y
a nd pretends to be much less than she is for the sake of main taining Helmer's ego. To do so, she allows and eve n ma in ta ins
a dishonest personal relatio nship with him.
Helmer does not call Nora by na me, nor refer to her as a
woman, but always as "featherhead," "songb ird, " or so me
other obn oxio us epithet. And together , the tw o struggle to preserve their illu sions w hil e the maj o r action centers around the
destruction of the very illusions they try so desperately ha rd to
ho ld o nto .
Tickets for the play cost $1.00 for stu dents and $2.00 fo r
ot he rs a nd are avai la ble at Yenney 's Musi c Store, Th e Music
Bar, a nd a t the door.

.s COOPER POINT JOURNAL

Charges, counter-charges and situation
reversals are piling up like punches in a
prize fight in ' the tangled Washington Indian fishing rights controversy.
For instance, this year's chum salmon
run was closed Oct. 27 to all but Indian
fishermen, closed Oct. 29 to all fishermen
due to an alleged conservation emergency,
and reopened by the Indians Sunday
night, Nov. 9 , in certain portions of south
Puge! Sound.
The Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission (NWIFC) charges the state Department of Fisheries with statistical manipulation and refusal to enforce regulations , The state dislikes dealing with 27
sovereign Indian tribes , while non-treaty
fishermen charge their government with
reverse discrimination .
Nobody is very happy with the current
state of affairs .
The first closure . - made by United
States District Court Judge George Boldt
- sparked complaints of unfairness and
criticism from Governor Dan Evans that
it "hurt the innocent. " Two days later,
Oct. 29, Director of State Fisheries Donald Moos forbade all commercial salmo n
fishing south of the Edmonds-Kiiigston
line , declaring a severe resource emergency and citing a chum run 70 percent
below pre-season estimates.
NWIFC executive director William L.
Smith attributed the state's low catch data
to poor weather conditions which prevented actual .test fisheries and limited the
number of test boats. In addition , he said,
fish caught illegally by non-Indians are
not included in official data, seriously affecting accuracy .
Therefore, the tribes opened a "limited"
test fishery in south Puget Sound on Nov .
9. Their emergency action was in part
based on U.S . Fish and Wildlife Service
da ta for Hood Canal which the NWIFC
said wo uld justify a regular fishery.
"Indian s are capable of monitoring

chum runs without destroying them ,"
<Smith said. "If the catch results show an
endangered run, the Tribes will close their
fisheries . "
State Department of Fisheries reaction
to the Indian move was decidedly negative.
" Every shred of evidence indicates a serious conservation issue, and there is no
question that the resource is in trouble,"
deputy director of Fisheries Frank Haw
said early this week. "We have the support of the court."
Haw said several Indian fishermen were
arrested in the Seattle area on Nov. 9.
THE TREATIES
Familiarity with the events of the past
120 years is crucial to an understanding of
the modern fishing crisis. The Indians'
claim to rights stems from five treaties
signed with the U . S. government in
1854 - 56.
The treaties, which dealt with Wash ington west of the Cascades and north of
th e Columbia River, were written in Chinook, a jargon composed of 300 scattered
French , English and common Indian
words. Among other effects, these documents consigned the Indians to their reservations.
Stripped of land , the Indians still re garded as of utmost importance their right
to fish , a due they secured in those treaty
documents, which hold the position, as
designated by the U. S, Constitution, as
"the supreme law of the land." One of the
most famous, the Medicine Creek Treaty
of 1854, states :
The right of taking fish at all
usual and accustomed grounds and
stations, is further secured to said
Indians , in common with all citizens of the Territory .
This passage, 120 years later, prompted
Judge Boldt to a landmark decision which
has created a furor of gigantic proportions.
Boldt's ruling was made in February,
. 1974 in U. S. v. Washington, a case filed

Left to right is, Guy McMinds (Quinalt), Calvin Peters (Medicine ·
Creek), Charles Peterson (MAKAH) , Forre~t Kinley (PI. Elliot) .

more than three years before by the federal government on behalf of 14 Washington tribes . The judge found that "in common with" signifies the opportunity for
the Indians to catch 50 percent of the
available salmon harvest at their "usual
a nd accustomed grounds and stations."
The entirety of on - reservation catches
and taking of fish for food and ceremonial purposes had never been denied the
tribes. Boldt's decision made clear, how ever, that in the five treaty areas the state
can't regulate off - reservation Indian fishing to the same degree as non - Indian fish ing.
In additi o n, Boldt declared that on-reservation catches are not to be counted as
