after a four year period to dea l with con tinued use o f the building.
During C hristm as vacation, Ed Kormondy sent a memo ra ndum to Phil Harding a nd Bob Filmer, the two faculty members under w ho m t he des ign a nd const ruc tion of the ESP occurred between 1972
a nd 1974. The v ice- pres ident sa id it was
time to co m e to a decision o n the future
of the tri-Ieveled wooden struct ure.
Ko rm ondy asked the two faculty to ad vise him of their proposa ls b y Jan. 15 , reminding them the p roject's intention al
va lu e was in the constru ction process
rather than in the fin al p roduct.
Bob Fi lmer was first to respo nd to Kormondy in a memo da ted Jan. 12. He
stated th e bu il ding was being used for t he
housi ng of a C livus Mu ltrum , an aerob ic

Reed Coll ege, Portland, Jan. 22: In an undersized white room adorned wit h large pictures o f
stock cars, fire eng ines and airplanes, nearly 200
peop le ca me to hea r a pa nel discussion between
two well - known reporters on the retrospective
topic of "V ietnam a nd the Press."
A sca red s tu dent moderator int roduced the

In essence, students nuw subsidize the
two businesses through payment of tuition, part of which is earmarked for S&A
funds . Some of thi s money is then
channeled into budget 6050-CAB. A portion of this budget foots the bill for Bookstore and Food Service ut il ities (which includes electriCity, steam heat , water and
sewer - a n estimated $12,000 this year) .

Using or not using tuition-generated
S&A mon ies tu pay Buokstore and Food
Serv ice utilit y bi ll s has been a paper war
between budge t hea ds for years. In t he
fa ll of 1973, AI Rose , then Assistant Direc tor for Stude nt Activities, called fo r
more student control of S&A money,
which led to a DTF concerned with examin ing the College Activities Fund . O ne
of the final recommendations the DTF
made advocilted that the Bookstore pay
back pa st uti lit y debts to 5& A - as soon
as the Bookstore operated at a profit.
However Lynn Garner , Assistant Direclor for Studen t Act ivi ties, feels that the
tw o businesses should pay their own util it ies now. Although Garner acknowledges
that this may push up prices on books
a nd food she feels that a more appropriate group of people wil l be paying for the
overhead - not just students; but faculty, staff and visitors - anyone who
buys products from the businesses. " No
matter how we look at it students will be
paying the largest portion of utility costs
in the CAB . I think hidden subsidies are

inappropriate at Eve rgreen and students
should be given the opportunity to evalu a te the effect iveness of these services sub sidized in CAB , including the Bookstore
and Food Services," Garner said.
Jo hn Moss, D irector of Personnel Auxi li ary Services and directly responsible
for Food Services, disagrees with Garner.
"Food and Bookstore Services provide
daily serv ice to students. faculty and visi tors while striving for financial solvency
through self -generated revenue . As such ,

increased cost s such as the proposed ut liity charges must be passed on in t he for m
of increased prices
. Because th ese op erations are student services in the same
ve in as many others supported by th t'
S&A Board I think that th e continued in direct subsidy as p revious ly agreed up()n
. is bo th necessary and ju stified ." he
said .
The next S&A mf'etin g will be held

FRANCISCO MARTIN: EXTRAORDINAY STUDENT
HARDING LETTER
MISLEADING
To the Editor:

CYBERCRUD
To the Editor:
CYBERCRUD! This is a term
co ined by Ted Nelson which he
defines as "putting things over
on people using computers." I
must admit to being impressed
see ing no less than three references to "computers" in the last
CPJ . I could only wish that the
people who were referring to
them knew something about
them . Marcel Hatch (in a letter)
says "Barbara was picked by
McCann and a 'computer'," an
article on page 5 refers to ".Barbara Spector, computer-chosen
student representative" and Spector is herself quoted in the same
a rticle as saying "I don't bdieve
in picking by computer."
Hatch manages to convey the
idea that the computer and McCann sat down and conspired
against the student populace (if
not the world), and the article in
I N BRIEF doesn't even manage
to say anything. In fact it goes
on to cloud the issue still further
by saying "Spector says she was
tl, ld that her l1ame wa.' selected
at ral1dom by compu er (italics
mine . Ed. ) from a list of 15 Evergreen students which had been
selected in the same manner. "
W ha t in hell is "in the same
manner ?" D0es that mean that
15 students were chosen ran domly from a Ii~t of 15 students7
Or are all students capable of
bein g chosen? If not, who deCides who gets on the list?
Note that in these questions I
have not even used the term
"computer" since it is a totally
empt y word , devoid of meaning
in this context. I am truly
; hocked at this kind of slipshod
reporting. Not on:y should the
report er be taken to task for repeat ing secondhand rumors, but
there is a special place in hell reserved for Editors who accept
this k ind of garbage for printing.
Ed . N o te: Spector thought
tllal she had beel1 picked by a
co mput er fro m a co mputer-de riv ed list of 15 studel1ts al1d the
Journal quoted her as such .
However , it is our fault that
w e did 110t check il1to the valid ity of her statem el1t .
What are the facts ? McCann's
offi ce requested Jim Johnson (act-

ing director of Computer Services) to supply a list of potential
representatives from the student
body, giving equal weight to the
male / female ratio and equal
weight to the white/non-white
ratio. Jim Johnson returned a list
of 15 names to McCann's office
and Barbara Spector was chosen
from this list.
This is not to say that there is
no room for error (or willful
malfeasance) in this process, but
it isn't the same as a "computer
chosen student representative,"
either.
My points are:
Ms. Spector, if you object to
random selection, say so. Don't
imply that it was a computer decision to select you for the job .
CPJ: 'it should be your object
to enlighten the readership, not
obfuscate issues with half-assed
reporting.
Evergreen: there are several
issues here, including: Is RAN 00M selection the best way to
choose representatives7 Was this
process truly random 7 These are
the burning questions which
come out of the recent debacle
and definitely deserve further
study.

EXHIBITS LIKE
TOURING BREWERY
To the Editor:
This year we have been having
exhibits in the library gallery.
This is very nice and interesting
especially considering the past.
But the last two exhibits have
been strange and not at all right.
You go in there, look around
and see many too many quite
pretty works. You sit in there,
eating your lunch, looking at the
sameness and the factory nameplates and feel more and more as
if you're touring a brewery. Who
and where are the people who
made these things7 Who gets the
money for those high-priced
tapestries, who pays for the
fancy publicity, the overship ment7 Why do they call silkscreens "tapestries" and designs
taken from Indian motifs, "sand
paintings7 " They are not sand
paintings and not tapestries and
someone must have a motive for
representing them as such.

Looking at these exhibits did
not inspire me to make things,
or to learn more about the
things, or to see more. Looking
at these exhibits showed me how
a few wealthy art patrons go
about perpetuating fads and
molding our taste and how they
make money exploiting artists
and people who like to look at
beautiful things. These exhibits
inspired me to helpless anger and
a sense of wrong.
There is good art happening
all around, happening as close as
Seattle, Portland, even Olympia.
The people who make art are
only different from people who.
don't, in that they do. They live
places, do things, even speak for
themselves.
People being what they are,
I'm going to add a disclaimer for
Exhibits Coordinator Lynda
Weinman and say that I think
she knows exactly what she's doing. She's not stupid, she's trying
to open people's eyes.

In the letters section of last
week's CPJ, Michael Harding
complains of something which
did not take place. Gays, Third
World people and women were
not attempting "to gain a voting
voice on the Evergreen Board of
Trustees." What they sought
were non-voting positions on the
Board of Trustees.
Now I'd like to give my
opinion on 'some of the other
things Mr. Harding says in his
letter which I feel are just as inaccurate or misleading.
Under #1 of his "steps" for improving "the fabric of community at Evergreen," he says,
"factionslindividuals who want
a voice on the Board of Trustees
should make applications to the
Governor's office and get help
through correspondence to that
office."
What bullshit I Whenever I
want a voice on the Board of
Trustees, I go to a Board of
Trustee meeting and speak my
desires or opinions and I hope
factions / individuals will do the
same.
Under #2 of "steps," Mr.
Harding resorts to bureaucratic
jargon to say nothing, but suggest a fallacy, with "factions/
individuals should be mutually
supportive of exacting procedural
steps to make the COG document viable by representing all
members of the community." It
sounds like he is. suggesting that
the COG document be seated on
the Board of Trustees to represent all members of the community. Whatever he means, Evergreen is not a homogeneous community. No person or thing
could possibly represent all members of the Evergreen community.
I hope you'll excuse my being
trite, but Mr. Harding's "steps"
#3 really blows my mind. He
says, "members of the community should renew their commitment to facing up to the world
'outside the walls' where special
interest groups not only fractionalize but destroy equality and
justice for all the People, all the
time." So he's blaming the lack
of equality and justice in this
country on the Sierra Club ,
NOW, the NAACP, the YMCA,
the Salvation Army, the National
Audubon Society, the American
Federation of Teachers, etc.
I'm tired of hassling with this
shit. There's more to say about
Mr. Harding ' s letter. There' s
more to say about the world.
But for now I've got to go get recharged.

'SUNSHINE' REC.
PROGRAM
To the Editor:
Any of you who are interested
in mingling with the greater
Olympia Community, especially
if you spend a great deal of your
time in an academic program,
now have an opportunity to get
involved with a group outside
Evergreen .
"Sunshine," a Saturday recreation program for people with
mentally or physically handicapping conditions, serves about 40
individuals weekly and needs
volunteers. It meets from 12 to 2

in the gym of Mountain View
Elementary School on the last
three Saturdays of every month .
"Sunshine" is a time for people
who ordinarily wouldn't have
the opportunity to get some exercise, socialize and just plain
have fun. At least once a month
the planned activity is swimming,
other favorites include soccer,
dance, basketball and arts and
crafts projects . Volunteering
would be a good opportunity for
students with a car~r interest in
recreation, special ed. or physical education, and partial credit
could be arranged w ith your faculty member or the Co-Op Office.
Also, interested volunteers are
needed to work on a one-to-one
basis on week nights. If you
think you might like to give of
your time, but you don't have
any previous experience, come
and visit. The present program is
run by two Evergreen graduates,
two undergraduates and high
school students from the Olympia community .
For information call Debbie
Creveling or Maggie Campbell at
753-8136 or me (Sandy McCulloch), 866-3565. We can answer
any questions you have about
the program and help work out
transportation .

POed IN THE A.M.
To the Editor:
Just a little gripe here. The
equipment checkout desk in
CRC rarely opens on time at 9
a . m . Those of us trying to
squeeze in a quick game in the
morning find ourselves playing
for abbreviated periods of time
thanks to the lackadaisical staff
who work there. So CRC staff,
if you say you open at 9, then
be there.

To the Editor:
There are many new workstudy positions currently posted

We also expect approximately

CALLS STUDENT RALLY
Dear Students :
On Tuesday, February 3, 1976
we are setting into motion a
state-wide student rally on the
steps of the Capitol Building of
the State of Washington. This is
an attempt to show to our elected
government officials that the students of Washington are con cerned with the possibility of an
increase in tuition and the right
to participate in the collective
bargaining process at the institutes of higher education.
Evergreen, with its close access
to the Capito\' could provide a
large body of student participants. It is important to have a
large number of students in order
to increase our effectiveness.

Spe ak e r: Hap Freund

. by Christina Cowger
EVergreen is often characterized as a school for free-wheeling
and mature students. Nobody presently enrolled here fits that
description more precisely than SO-year-old Francisco Martin.
Named for the city of her birth, San Francisco (she prefers to
be called Francis), the spry octogenarian took part in a
16,666-mile cross-country wagon odyssey when she was 10
days old.
This fall, Evergreen's oldest student was recruited from the
senior center in Yelm to participate in the coordinated study
program "Health: Individual and Community." "I thought _
'why not?" she says. "I've done everything else."
.
Previous schooling for Francis amounted to graduation from
the eighth grade wen over a half a century, ago. College to her
is the "hardest thing I've ever done."
Her airy abode in dorm A, room 807, with its tree-framed
view of the O lympic Mountains, suits the independence of her
life-style. Far from being annoyed by the inev itable campus
·c1atter, Francis at first didn't like her floor because it was too
quiet. "My home in Yelm is on a busy street," she explains.
Gazing out the window to the distant mountain range, brow
furrowed, Francis bridges the 80-year-old-gap as easily as one
of the countless small streams she and her family forded on
their way across the country.
"In 1894, after several years of living in Port Angeles, my
father became sick," she said . "The doctor told him he had to
get out of the damp climate. Mother didn't want h im to go
alone. They had no money, so they decided to build a house
on wheels."
So began the saga of 'The Traveling Palace of the Lasley
Family. " Morgan and Lucinda Mary Lasley felled a huge cedar
tree and in one year erected a little wheeled dwelling 16 feet
long, 8 feet wide and just over 6 feet from floor to ceiling.
"Inside, we had a little oil stove and a fo lding table," Francis
recalls. "It was the first camper. "
Two horses pulled the Lasleys and the first three of their five
chi~dren - Leona, Viola and Robert ' - to San Francisco. They
arrived one year after their departure from Port Angeles,
because Morgan would move on "as long as the money lasted"
and then stop to earn his living at carpentry or upholstering.
"They told him he was a foolish man," Francis says. 'We
were doing something no one had ever done before."
Francis was born in the "outfit," appropriately enough, on
May 18, 1895, in San Francisco . The wanderlust was gnawing
at her parents again, though, and after only 10 days they set
out - "just like that," she recalls with a snap of her fingers _
for far-away New York.
Two years and three months would elapse before the Lasleys
were to reach their destination . 'There was nothing then but
very bad trails, and we had to ford the rivers," Francis says.
"It was tough traveling and we lost a lot of horses ."
A few of the larger rivers had ferries, but for the most part
the Lasleys had to rely on the sealed double floor which
allowed their wagon to float to a certain degree. Mother Mary
had a set of fairly primitive conditions to contend with such
as cooking over a campfire. 'We had a lot of hard~hips"
Francis says.
'
Morgan had two sizes of paperbound books printed,
outlining his family's unprecedented adventure. He sold them
for 10 cents and 35 cents in each town he passed through. 'We
sold hundreds of thousands of copies," says Francis, who still
has a copy of one of the pamphlets .
Broad-based knowledge can be a considerable asset. The
Lasleys boosted their income by lecturing about their journey
and about biology, physiology, phrenology, temperance and
politics. Morgan was a homeopath, and he dabbled in electric
and magnetic healing, magic, and mind-reading.
"People were very interested," Francis says. 'They wanted to
see inside the first camper. It was hard on Mama to get used to
people - she was so shy she could hardly stand it. But she got
over it and turned out to be a wonderful lecturer - even more

DANCES?
contil1ued from column 3

interesting sometimes than my father !"
(In the family tradition, Francis also shares her experiences:
through a series of open houses in her room Mondays from 3-5
p.m. and Wednesdays from 6-8 p .m.)
Francis was about three months old when her family, passing
through Utah, met a wealthy Mormon couple with an infant
son just Francis' age. 'They offered my father $10,000 to adopt
me. ~o thei~ son coul? marry me when we got older," she says
smilingly . If It hadn t been for Mama, I think my father might
have considered it!"
When the 'Traveling Palace" finally pulled into New York, it
was met by a squad of mounted police. Morgan at first feared
he had done something wrong, but the family's fame had
preceded them and the reception was a friendly one.
The children attended school during the winter rest stops,
and Morgan with his two years of college education tutored
them on the road. 'We loved every minute of it," Francis
recalls. "For the three younger children, it was just one long
glorious vacation."
Once during school one of Francis' sisters lost her fingers in
a hay grinder. Classes were cancelled for half a day while
schoolmates brought the injured girl candy and toys. "Robert
and I were jealous, we sat up on the driver's seat of the wagon,
planning to cut our own fingers off!"
The Lasleys often camped with gypsies and therefore came
under the suspicion of child-snatching, something commonly
felt towards gypsies in that day. "People would hide their
children," Francis says, "but my mother would say, 'Haven't I
got enough of my own?'''
In 1906 his family returned to Seattle in a week-long railroad
jaunt. 'The train went a mile a minute and I thought it was a
miracle," Francis recalls.
Francis married Hervey Martin in 1913 and settled in
McKenna, Washington. She had five children, all borne at
home, 23 ' grandchildren and - "at last count" - about 12
great-grandchildren. Her husband died four years ago at 91.
Francis the student takes a meal per day at SAGA ("they
cook more for the young people there") and goes home every
Friday to her house in Yelm . She is busy witli course work but
does not plan to attend Evergreen next year. '
A cross-country wagon journey at birth and stint of higher
education at the age of 80 are not in the ordinary scheme of
things. But college is merely the latest in a lifelong series of
events wh ich have made Francisco Martin extraordinary and

50 cents to see ,. A Clockwork
Orange. " I put on my first gig
Saturday night - a dance with records. I, like a foo\' was
trying to give people all these
"more dances" they were asking
for. So to keep down the cost,
some friends made some really
nice disco tapes for me. I spent
$50 on some attractive posters
(so how come you weren 't . attracted7), $20 for security, $15
for an experienced combination
OJ-equipment person, $15 for refreshments and $10 for the till .
Grand total: $110.00 . Trusting
hundreds of people to show, I
was going to charge 50 cents .
Knowing Evergreeners, I charged
' a dollar. I was right. We
managed a profit of a whopping
$16. That's just what it costs for
a dance with records. Add band
- $300 - and I'd have to
charge those same 115 people
that came Saturday night $4 a
headll Of course I'm no dummy ,
I realize we would have had
more people had there been a
live band. So make that $3 .50 .
Can you see what we're up
against? It's your own fault we
can't have more dances . Yo u
dOI1 't come . And we had a great
dance Saturday night , even with out all 2,385 of you . But we
could have better and more fre quent gigs if you weren't so
stil1gy. It will cost you three
times the price to see anyone we
bring in a box office situation
and adding your ill-gotten food
stamps to your social security
checks, BECG, Tuition Waivers
and checks from home of steadily increasing magnitude , it
seems you'd be able to afford
two or three dollars for a gig
that someone has been working
on very hard for a · long time .
But most of all, it seems yo u
cou Id quit picking your noses for
a couple hours and just be th ere .
And that is the truth about
more dances. And if, after this,
you cannot see your way clear
to being just a little more respon sive, then I will once more have
my ears sewn on ; and mean while, I hope you are left with
no Gig Commission, no Speak ·

FRANCISCO MARTIN: EXTRAORDINAY STUDENT
HARDING LETTER
MISLEADING
To the Editor:

CYBERCRUD
To the Editor:
CYBERCRUD! This is a term
co ined by Ted Nelson which he
defines as "putting things over
on people using computers." I
must admit to being impressed
see ing no less than three references to "computers" in the last
CPJ . I could only wish that the
people who were referring to
them knew something about
them . Marcel Hatch (in a letter)
says "Barbara was picked by
McCann and a 'computer'," an
article on page 5 refers to ".Barbara Spector, computer-chosen
student representative" and Spector is herself quoted in the same
a rticle as saying "I don't bdieve
in picking by computer."
Hatch manages to convey the
idea that the computer and McCann sat down and conspired
against the student populace (if
not the world), and the article in
I N BRIEF doesn't even manage
to say anything. In fact it goes
on to cloud the issue still further
by saying "Spector says she was
tl, ld that her l1ame wa.' selected
at ral1dom by compu er (italics
mine . Ed. ) from a list of 15 Evergreen students which had been
selected in the same manner. "
W ha t in hell is "in the same
manner ?" D0es that mean that
15 students were chosen ran domly from a Ii~t of 15 students7
Or are all students capable of
bein g chosen? If not, who deCides who gets on the list?
Note that in these questions I
have not even used the term
"computer" since it is a totally
empt y word , devoid of meaning
in this context. I am truly
; hocked at this kind of slipshod
reporting. Not on:y should the
report er be taken to task for repeat ing secondhand rumors, but
there is a special place in hell reserved for Editors who accept
this k ind of garbage for printing.
Ed . N o te: Spector thought
tllal she had beel1 picked by a
co mput er fro m a co mputer-de riv ed list of 15 studel1ts al1d the
Journal quoted her as such .
However , it is our fault that
w e did 110t check il1to the valid ity of her statem el1t .
What are the facts ? McCann's
offi ce requested Jim Johnson (act-

ing director of Computer Services) to supply a list of potential
representatives from the student
body, giving equal weight to the
male / female ratio and equal
weight to the white/non-white
ratio. Jim Johnson returned a list
of 15 names to McCann's office
and Barbara Spector was chosen
from this list.
This is not to say that there is
no room for error (or willful
malfeasance) in this process, but
it isn't the same as a "computer
chosen student representative,"
either.
My points are:
Ms. Spector, if you object to
random selection, say so. Don't
imply that it was a computer decision to select you for the job .
CPJ: 'it should be your object
to enlighten the readership, not
obfuscate issues with half-assed
reporting.
Evergreen: there are several
issues here, including: Is RAN 00M selection the best way to
choose representatives7 Was this
process truly random 7 These are
the burning questions which
come out of the recent debacle
and definitely deserve further
study.

EXHIBITS LIKE
TOURING BREWERY
To the Editor:
This year we have been having
exhibits in the library gallery.
This is very nice and interesting
especially considering the past.
But the last two exhibits have
been strange and not at all right.
You go in there, look around
and see many too many quite
pretty works. You sit in there,
eating your lunch, looking at the
sameness and the factory nameplates and feel more and more as
if you're touring a brewery. Who
and where are the people who
made these things7 Who gets the
money for those high-priced
tapestries, who pays for the
fancy publicity, the overship ment7 Why do they call silkscreens "tapestries" and designs
taken from Indian motifs, "sand
paintings7 " They are not sand
paintings and not tapestries and
someone must have a motive for
representing them as such.

Looking at these exhibits did
not inspire me to make things,
or to learn more about the
things, or to see more. Looking
at these exhibits showed me how
a few wealthy art patrons go
about perpetuating fads and
molding our taste and how they
make money exploiting artists
and people who like to look at
beautiful things. These exhibits
inspired me to helpless anger and
a sense of wrong.
There is good art happening
all around, happening as close as
Seattle, Portland, even Olympia.
The people who make art are
only different from people who.
don't, in that they do. They live
places, do things, even speak for
themselves.
People being what they are,
I'm going to add a disclaimer for
Exhibits Coordinator Lynda
Weinman and say that I think
she knows exactly what she's doing. She's not stupid, she's trying
to open people's eyes.

In the letters section of last
week's CPJ, Michael Harding
complains of something which
did not take place. Gays, Third
World people and women were
not attempting "to gain a voting
voice on the Evergreen Board of
Trustees." What they sought
were non-voting positions on the
Board of Trustees.
Now I'd like to give my
opinion on 'some of the other
things Mr. Harding says in his
letter which I feel are just as inaccurate or misleading.
Under #1 of his "steps" for improving "the fabric of community at Evergreen," he says,
"factionslindividuals who want
a voice on the Board of Trustees
should make applications to the
Governor's office and get help
through correspondence to that
office."
What bullshit I Whenever I
want a voice on the Board of
Trustees, I go to a Board of
Trustee meeting and speak my
desires or opinions and I hope
factions / individuals will do the
same.
Under #2 of "steps," Mr.
Harding resorts to bureaucratic
jargon to say nothing, but suggest a fallacy, with "factions/
individuals should be mutually
supportive of exacting procedural
steps to make the COG document viable by representing all
members of the community." It
sounds like he is. suggesting that
the COG document be seated on
the Board of Trustees to represent all members of the community. Whatever he means, Evergreen is not a homogeneous community. No person or thing
could possibly represent all members of the Evergreen community.
I hope you'll excuse my being
trite, but Mr. Harding's "steps"
#3 really blows my mind. He
says, "members of the community should renew their commitment to facing up to the world
'outside the walls' where special
interest groups not only fractionalize but destroy equality and
justice for all the People, all the
time." So he's blaming the lack
of equality and justice in this
country on the Sierra Club ,
NOW, the NAACP, the YMCA,
the Salvation Army, the National
Audubon Society, the American
Federation of Teachers, etc.
I'm tired of hassling with this
shit. There's more to say about
Mr. Harding ' s letter. There' s
more to say about the world.
But for now I've got to go get recharged.

'SUNSHINE' REC.
PROGRAM
To the Editor:
Any of you who are interested
in mingling with the greater
Olympia Community, especially
if you spend a great deal of your
time in an academic program,
now have an opportunity to get
involved with a group outside
Evergreen .
"Sunshine," a Saturday recreation program for people with
mentally or physically handicapping conditions, serves about 40
individuals weekly and needs
volunteers. It meets from 12 to 2

in the gym of Mountain View
Elementary School on the last
three Saturdays of every month .
"Sunshine" is a time for people
who ordinarily wouldn't have
the opportunity to get some exercise, socialize and just plain
have fun. At least once a month
the planned activity is swimming,
other favorites include soccer,
dance, basketball and arts and
crafts projects . Volunteering
would be a good opportunity for
students with a car~r interest in
recreation, special ed. or physical education, and partial credit
could be arranged w ith your faculty member or the Co-Op Office.
Also, interested volunteers are
needed to work on a one-to-one
basis on week nights. If you
think you might like to give of
your time, but you don't have
any previous experience, come
and visit. The present program is
run by two Evergreen graduates,
two undergraduates and high
school students from the Olympia community .
For information call Debbie
Creveling or Maggie Campbell at
753-8136 or me (Sandy McCulloch), 866-3565. We can answer
any questions you have about
the program and help work out
transportation .

CALLS STUDENT RALLY
Dear Students :
On Tuesday, February 3, 1976
we are setting into motion a
state-wide student rally on the
steps of the Capitol Building of
the State of Washington. This is
an attempt to show to our elected
government officials that the students of Washington are con cerned with the possibility of an
increase in tuition and the right
to participate in the collective
bargaining process at the institutes of higher education.
Evergreen, with its close access
to the Capito\' could provide a
large body of student participants. It is important to have a
large number of students in order
to increase our effectiveness.

Spe ak e r: Hap Freund

. by Christina Cowger
EVergreen is often characterized as a school for free-wheeling
and mature students. Nobody presently enrolled here fits that
description more precisely than SO-year-old Francisco Martin.
Named for the city of her birth, San Francisco (she prefers to
be called Francis), the spry octogenarian took part in a
16,666-mile cross-country wagon odyssey when she was 10
days old.
This fall, Evergreen's oldest student was recruited from the
senior center in Yelm to participate in the coordinated study
program "Health: Individual and Community." "I thought _
'why not?" she says. "I've done everything else."
.
Previous schooling for Francis amounted to graduation from
the eighth grade wen over a half a century, ago. College to her
is the "hardest thing I've ever done."
Her airy abode in dorm A, room 807, with its tree-framed
view of the O lympic Mountains, suits the independence of her
life-style. Far from being annoyed by the inev itable campus
·c1atter, Francis at first didn't like her floor because it was too
quiet. "My home in Yelm is on a busy street," she explains.
Gazing out the window to the distant mountain range, brow
furrowed, Francis bridges the 80-year-old-gap as easily as one
of the countless small streams she and her family forded on
their way across the country.
"In 1894, after several years of living in Port Angeles, my
father became sick," she said . "The doctor told him he had to
get out of the damp climate. Mother didn't want h im to go
alone. They had no money, so they decided to build a house
on wheels."
So began the saga of 'The Traveling Palace of the Lasley
Family. " Morgan and Lucinda Mary Lasley felled a huge cedar
tree and in one year erected a little wheeled dwelling 16 feet
long, 8 feet wide and just over 6 feet from floor to ceiling.
"Inside, we had a little oil stove and a fo lding table," Francis
recalls. "It was the first camper. "
Two horses pulled the Lasleys and the first three of their five
chi~dren - Leona, Viola and Robert ' - to San Francisco. They
arrived one year after their departure from Port Angeles,
because Morgan would move on "as long as the money lasted"
and then stop to earn his living at carpentry or upholstering.
"They told him he was a foolish man," Francis says. 'We
were doing something no one had ever done before."
Francis was born in the "outfit," appropriately enough, on
May 18, 1895, in San Francisco . The wanderlust was gnawing
at her parents again, though, and after only 10 days they set
out - "just like that," she recalls with a snap of her fingers _
for far-away New York.
Two years and three months would elapse before the Lasleys
were to reach their destination . 'There was nothing then but
very bad trails, and we had to ford the rivers," Francis says.
"It was tough traveling and we lost a lot of horses ."
A few of the larger rivers had ferries, but for the most part
the Lasleys had to rely on the sealed double floor which
allowed their wagon to float to a certain degree. Mother Mary
had a set of fairly primitive conditions to contend with such
as cooking over a campfire. 'We had a lot of hard~hips"
Francis says.
'
Morgan had two sizes of paperbound books printed,
outlining his family's unprecedented adventure. He sold them
for 10 cents and 35 cents in each town he passed through. 'We
sold hundreds of thousands of copies," says Francis, who still
has a copy of one of the pamphlets .
Broad-based knowledge can be a considerable asset. The
Lasleys boosted their income by lecturing about their journey
and about biology, physiology, phrenology, temperance and
politics. Morgan was a homeopath, and he dabbled in electric
and magnetic healing, magic, and mind-reading.
"People were very interested," Francis says. 'They wanted to
see inside the first camper. It was hard on Mama to get used to
people - she was so shy she could hardly stand it. But she got
over it and turned out to be a wonderful lecturer - even more

DANCES?

interesting sometimes than my father !"
(In the family tradition, Francis also shares her experiences:
through a series of open houses in her room Mondays from 3-5
p.m. and Wednesdays from 6-8 p .m.)
Francis was about three months old when her family, passing
through Utah, met a wealthy Mormon couple with an infant
son just Francis' age. 'They offered my father $10,000 to adopt
me. ~o thei~ son coul? marry me when we got older," she says
smilingly . If It hadn t been for Mama, I think my father might
have considered it!"
When the 'Traveling Palace" finally pulled into New York, it
was met by a squad of mounted police. Morgan at first feared
he had done something wrong, but the family's fame had
preceded them and the reception was a friendly one.
The children attended school during the winter rest stops,
and Morgan with his two years of college education tutored
them on the road. 'We loved every minute of it," Francis
recalls. "For the three younger children, it was just one long
glorious vacation."
Once during school one of Francis' sisters lost her fingers in
a hay grinder. Classes were cancelled for half a day while
schoolmates brought the injured girl candy and toys. "Robert
and I were jealous, we sat up on the driver's seat of the wagon,
planning to cut our own fingers off!"
The Lasleys often camped with gypsies and therefore came
under the suspicion of child-snatching, something commonly
felt towards gypsies in that day. "People would hide their
children," Francis says, "but my mother would say, 'Haven't I
got enough of my own?'''
In 1906 his family returned to Seattle in a week-long railroad
jaunt. 'The train went a mile a minute and I thought it was a
miracle," Francis recalls.
Francis married Hervey Martin in 1913 and settled in
McKenna, Washington. She had five children, all borne at
home, 23 ' grandchildren and - "at last count" - about 12
great-grandchildren. Her husband died four years ago at 91.
Francis the student takes a meal per day at SAGA ("they
cook more for the young people there") and goes home every
Friday to her house in Yelm . She is busy witli course work but
does not plan to attend Evergreen next year. '
A cross-country wagon journey at birth and stint of higher
education at the age of 80 are not in the ordinary scheme of
things. But college is merely the latest in a lifelong series of
events wh ich have made Francisco Martin extraordinary and
indomitable

50 cents to see ,. A Clockwork
Orange. " I put on my first gig
Saturday night - a dance with records. I, like a foo\' was
trying to give people all these
"more dances" they were asking
for. So to keep down the cost,
some friends made some really
nice disco tapes for me. I spent
$50 on some attractive posters
(so how come you weren 't . attracted7), $20 for security, $15
for an experienced combination
OJ-equipment person, $15 for refreshments and $10 for the till .
Grand total: $110.00 . Trusting
hundreds of people to show, I
was going to charge 50 cents .
Knowing Evergreeners, I charged
' a dollar. I was right. We
managed a profit of a whopping
$16. That's just what it costs for
a dance with records. Add band
- $300 - and I'd have to
charge those same 115 people
that came Saturday night $4 a
headll Of course I'm no dummy ,
I realize we would have had
more people had there been a
live band. So make that $3 .50 .
Can you see what we're up
against? It's your own fault we
can't have more dances . Yo u
dOI1 't come . And we had a great
dance Saturday night , even with out all 2,385 of you . But we
could have better and more fre quent gigs if you weren't so
stil1gy. It will cost you three
times the price to see anyone we
bring in a box office situation
and adding your ill-gotten food
stamps to your social security
checks, BECG, Tuition Waivers
and checks from home of steadily increasing magnitude , it
seems you'd be able to afford
two or three dollars for a gig
that someone has been working
on very hard for a · long time .
But most of all, it seems yo u
cou Id quit picking your noses for
a couple hours and just be th ere .
And that is the truth about
more dances. And if, after this,

THE ECONOMICS OF BEING A VETERAN

WOLVES IN
NAT'L ' PARK? '
Studying the effects of reintroducing wolves into the Olympic
National Park was the task of a ,
recen tly completed Evergreen
student project.
Results of the six -month study
were released in December and '
showed that a timber wolf populati on of 60 to 80 animals could
be reintroduced with no danger ,
to humans and without significantly affecting the deer and elk
populations. The original goal of
the study was to find what effects, if any, a wolf population
would have on the park ecosystem. Part of this was accomplished through a computer pop- '
ulation simulation, The wolves
have been absent from the park

since 1924.
According to faculty member
Dave Milne, who has been advising the group, the only problem
expected is from lone wolves
who have become separated
from the pack. There is a potential that these "loners" might
bother sheep and other livestock.
Milne says that the group realized from the start that there
would be "lots of local opposition" and the study notes that
this reaction would be a "tremendous public relations problem,"
The project, under the direction of senior Cynthia Swanberg,
was first funded by the National
Science Foundation to the amount of $10,800. The NSF has
just awarded another $190 to the
project to cover travel expenses.

group were Brt'nda Johnson ,
Rennie Selkirk, Peter Dratch and
?wanberg from Evergreen, Rick
Reed from New Mexico State
College , Diane Levkoy from

The group hasn't received
much public reaction to their report, Milne says. Although the
Washington State Game Department was at first skeptical of the
project, they have since come to
regard it as a legitimate study,
he added.

CURRICULUM FAIR

There are presently almost 400
veterans enrolled at Evergreen,
about 20% of the total student
population. The percentage of
veteran / non-veteran students at
Evergreen is representative of
veteran enrollment statewide in
both four-year institutions and
in Community Colleges and VocTech schools. Most of the veterans attending ('olleges presently
are drawing from benefits accrued during the Vietnam Era
conflict, which in turn means the
bulk of veterans enrolled are between 20 and 30 years old.
While the present economic
situation has been a primary factor behind high enrollment in
colleges nationwide, it is a problem that has had a particular impact on high veteran enrollment.
Unemployment for Vietnam veterans is two and even three times
higher than that of non-veterans
of the same age group. In Tacoma, for example, which has
the second largest veteran population in the state and from
which Evergreen is within reasonable commuting distance, the unployment rate for Vietnam Era
veterans ages 20 - 30 is over
23 %. For non-veterans in the
same age group the figure is
9.6%.
(Statistics supplied by Employment Security - January 1976)
The veteran is oftentimes
forced into the college environment as a means of survival. Although the assistance received is
not intended by the V A as a living allowance, for most it becomes just that.
Once on the college campus
the veteran fares better than the
aV!'Tage student. This may result
from a higher maturity level or
from a fear of making unsatisfac tory progress resulting in discontinued benefits from the V A , For
those reasons the vet is compelled to maintain a high attendance rate and to keep grades as
high as possible. The veteran can
receive help from the V A in order to maintain an adequate
grade point level. Through the
Tutorial Assistance Program veterans who need tutoring may
qualify for tutorial payments not
to exceed $60.00 a month for the
maximum amount of $720.00
with no charge against basic entitlement. The program does not
require that the student be fa iling
to qualify. Any veteran student
who wants to improve their
achievement level may be eligible.
THE 'BENNIES'
The benefits available to vet"erans are dependent on a complex
system of eligibili ty. In order to
help the veteran student many
college campuses have vet coor ~
dina tors that are hired when the
school qualified for the Veteran
Cost of Instruction Program
(VCIP). The VCIP

There are presently almost 400
veterans enrolled at Evergreen,
about 20% of the total student
population. The percentage of
veteran / non-veteran students at
Evergreen is representative of
veteran enrollment statewide in
both four-year institutions and
in Community Colleges and VocTech schools. Most of the veterans attending ('olleges presently
are drawing from benefits accrued during the Vietnam Era
conflict, which in turn means the
bulk of veterans enrolled are between 20 and 30 years old.
While the present economic
situation has been a primary factor behind high enrollment in
colleges nationwide, it is a problem that has had a particular impact on high veteran enrollment.
Unemployment for Vietnam veterans is two and even three times
higher than that of non-veterans
of the same age group. In Tacoma, for example, which has
the second largest veteran population in the state and from
which Evergreen is within reasonable commuting distance, the unployment rate for Vietnam Era
veterans ages 20 - 30 is over
23 %. For non-veterans in the
same age group the figure is
9.6%.
(Statistics supplied by Employment Security - January 1976)
The veteran is oftentimes
forced into the college environment as a means of survival. Although the assistance received is
not intended by the V A as a living allowance, for most it becomes just that.
Once on the college campus
the veteran fares better than the
aV!'Tage student. This may result
from a higher maturity level or
from a fear of making unsatisfac tory progress resulting in discontinued benefits from the V A , For
those reasons the vet is compelled to maintain a high attendance rate and to keep grades as
high as possible. The veteran can
receive help from the V A in order to maintain an adequate
grade point level. Through the
Tutorial Assistance Program veterans who need tutoring may
qualify for tutorial payments not
to exceed $60.00 a month for the
maximum amount of $720.00
with no charge against basic entitlement. The program does not
require that the student be fa iling
to qualify. Any veteran student
who wants to improve their
achievement level may be eligible.
THE 'BENNIES'
The benefits available to vet"erans are dependent on a complex
system of eligibili ty. In order to
help the veteran student many
college campuses have vet coor ~
dina tors that are hired when the
school qualified for the Veteran
Cost of Instruction Program
(VCIP). The VCIP

We.st. St. Hospital
Sex Dffender Program [Part 1J
by Cathy Riddell
Rapists, "flashers" and child
molesters 1 Prior to the Sexual
Psychopath Act of 1951, they
would be sent to the penitentiary.
Now, many sex offenders are in
a controversial program at Western State Hospital 30 minutes
north of Olympia in Steilacoom.
In 1974, 280 convicted sex offenders, 80 percent of the cases
heard in the state, were sent to
Western State Hospital's Treatment Center for the Sex Offender
for a 90-day observation period .
During this period, the individuals live on a ward with a group
of 20 co mprising a therapy
group.
The sex offender must prove
to the therapy group and staff
tha t he or she can benefit from
the program . About two-thirds
of the individual~ rpmain in the

therapy groups at Western State
while the other one-third ar.e
sent to prison .
The program includes 160 residents, 55 out-patients on work
release during the day and 25
staff members. Forty percent of
the residents were committed for '
child molesting, 25 percent were
rapists and the rest are there for
a variety of offenses such as exhibitionism, incest and sodomy .
Although the Sexual Psychopath Act provided for the program in 1951, nothing happened
until the late 50's when a therapist began working with the first
group and discovered that they
made more progress working
among themselves than with
him, Giving responsibility to the
patients has been so successful
that patients who have proved
themselves capable take charge

of therapy groups. At night
when the supervising staff leaves,
the key is kept by the patients.
A typical day consists of
waking at 6 a.m., a therapy
group meeting in the morning, a
business meeting in the afternoon
and another therapy group in the
evening which breaks into groups
of four people, Therapy includes
psychodrama and women volunteers often play the role of victims. For the men to establish
good relationships with women,
is necessary for the success of
therapy.
I had to see it myself. Driving
through Fort Lewis and past McNeil Island Federal Penitentiary
to Steilacoom, I arrived at Western State Hospital. old buildings
from the last century, surrounded
by open space and wooden
fences, but no gates, or guards.
Coming up a flight of stairs,
through a vestibule where a
young girl probably on Thorazine (not in the sex offender program) had propped herself up
against the wall, I came to the
locked door of the sex offenders
ward, I buzzed the doorbell and
waited for the person being
yelled for to come with the key ,
It was visitor's night and I was
there as a guest of Russ, the
brother-in-law of an Evergreen
student. I had to complete a

FLYING OVER THE
by Matt Groening
Milos Forman took a big gamble making the movie version
of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Ken Kesey's allegorical
story of rebellion in a mental hospital has a fiercely loyal
following, especially among students, and the novel is
practically required reading for even the functionally illiterate,
To sneer that "the book is better" sounds especially tempting
here, Simply because the book is so good. But Foreman's
straight-forward, "realistic" modification of the hallucinatory
novel is a great success, and
is destined to become a
small classic.
It is a mistake to judge this
on the basis of how
faithful it is to the original
of the novel's strong
effect comes from the unlrenaOlle\r\arr"flnn of Chief Bromden,

both signed and we were cleared
by the patient in charge.
Looking around, my prejudiced
op inion was that I had found the
home of the Greyhound bus station perverts. Patients, who were
mostly men but included some
women, wandered by to couches
in front of the TV, to the community kitchen and to the pingpong and pool tables . Russ ·
found two people to talk to, one
who I immediately assumed was
the staff person in charge. He

went to the files in the hali offering to answer any questions I
might have. He pulled out a twopage mimeographed sheet entitled "Steps to Progress," We sat
down at a cafe table amid the
pool tables and talked .
"Steps to Progress," like the
rest of life on the ward, is designed and administered by the
patients themselves. There are
ten steps with each step designed
to help the patient develop re5ponsibility for their actions.

after a four year period to dea l with con tinued use o f the building.
During C hristm as vacation, Ed Kormondy sent a memo ra ndum to Phil Harding a nd Bob Filmer, the two faculty members under w ho m t he des ign a nd const ruc tion of the ESP occurred between 1972
a nd 1974. The v ice- pres ident sa id it was
time to co m e to a decision o n the future
of the tri-Ieveled wooden struct ure.
Ko rm ondy asked the two faculty to ad vise him of their proposa ls b y Jan. 15 , reminding them the p roject's intention al
va lu e was in the constru ction process
rather than in the fin al p roduct.
Bob Fi lmer was first to respo nd to Kormondy in a memo da ted Jan. 12. He
stated th e bu il ding was being used for t he
housi ng of a C livus Mu ltrum , an aerob ic
co mposter of organ ic so lids . Fi lmer a lso
told Kormo ndy that he had severa l s tu de nt s working toward bringin g th e building up to code so it co uld be used for

"T he Experime nt a l Structu re is uniqu e

In essence, students nuw subsidize the
two businesses through payment of tuition, part of which is earmarked for S&A
funds . Some of thi s money is then
channeled into budget 6050-CAB. A portion of this budget foots the bill for Bookstore and Food Service ut il ities (which includes electriCity, steam heat , water and
sewer - a n estimated $12,000 this year) .

1

Using or not using tuition-generated
S&A mon ies tu pay Buokstore and Food
Serv ice utilit y bi ll s has been a paper war
between budge t hea ds for years. In t he
fa ll of 1973, AI Rose , then Assistant Direc tor for Stude nt Activities, called fo r
more student control of S&A money,
which led to a DTF concerned with examin ing the College Activities Fund . O ne
of the final recommendations the DTF
made advocilted that the Bookstore pay
back pa st uti lit y debts to 5& A - as soon
as the Bookstore operated at a profit.
However Lynn Garner , Assistant Direclor for Studen t Act ivi ties, feels that the
tw o businesses should pay their own util it ies now. Although Garner acknowledges
that this may push up prices on books
a nd food she feels that a more appropriate group of people wil l be paying for the
overhead - not just students; but faculty, staff and visitors - anyone who
buys products from the businesses. " No
matter how we look at it students will be
paying the largest portion of utility costs
in the CAB . I think hidden subsidies are

inappropriate at Eve rgreen and students
should be given the opportunity to evalu a te the effect iveness of these services sub sidized in CAB , including the Bookstore
and Food Services," Garner said.
Jo hn Moss, D irector of Personnel Auxi li ary Services and directly responsible
for Food Services, disagrees with Garner.
"Food and Bookstore Services provide
daily serv ice to students. faculty and visi tors while striving for financial solvency
through self -generated revenue . As such ,

increased cost s such as the proposed ut liity charges must be passed on in t he for m
of increased prices
. Because th ese op erations are student services in the same
ve in as many others supported by th t'
S&A Board I think that th e continued in direct subsidy as p revious ly agreed up()n
. is bo th necessary and ju stified ." he
said .
The next S&A mf'etin g will be held
Wednesday , Feb. 4, 1: 30 - 4 . 30 Place to
be announced .
