The Living Catalog

Collegium - The Newest E\7ergreen Experience

yl Pegues
G ig Co nlHlission Coordinat or
by Chery l Pegues
Looki ng for something d ifferent to do this spring? If yo u're
o nE' of those lucky few w h o have
so me tim e on yo ur hands every
Sunda y - have we got a series
tor you. So put on yo ur cultura l
set of earpho nes, pop on some
Bach . and read o n.
When I decided to embark
upon th e production of something new and different for the
amusement of the Evergreen populat ion , I was faced with a sub ,t ant ia l dilemma . W hat's left?
INe have. or have Ilad, everyth il1g. I did n't even bother to
make a list o f wha t we'd had. In, tead, I endeavored to make a
li s! of the things we hadn 't had.
And in the choice between Andy
Wi ll ia ms. Billy Gra ham, and cl as-

sical mus ic, I chose class ica l mu S IC.

Classical mu sic , however, is
to ta lly undese rving of its pl ace
on tha t particu lar list. Why it always finds itself in league with
o ld lad ies, " lo nghairs , "
church, is beyond me .
m usic is easil y as vibrant,
lating, int e r esti ng , and
timeless and bea utiful
m usic on the m arket
Wh ich brings us to
IUM . I'm pretty
thinking of
because it ' s
yo u're going to
ou t of one great,
Eve rgreen happening. ' .
In an effort to really be differ ent , I've gathered a unique group
of performe rs with varied back -

g r o unds and approaches to
music. Each of them has succeeded in mastering the classic
design of music, and develop ing
a style of their own. And they're
not your usual string qu artets, or
wind ensembles, or choirs. Each
of them is a really different angle
in the otherwise spherical shape
of classical mu sic. And there is
an ethrTi,c and cultu ral factor.
Israel Moultrie is a black man.
Debb i Shorrock, and her accom panist Lisa Bergman are women.
A lbert o Rafols is of Spanish de scent. And the Northwest Brass
Quintet is tot a lly white, middleclass, anglo (in case anyone's
fee ling left out ). And above all,
each of them is a person, beyond
being a performer. Each Sunday's
program will include a "coffee
break, " e ithe r during the interor after the performance
we ca n talk with eac h of
e peopl e a nd sha re our
ideas on music,
whatever.
of these peopl!,!
experience, don't
performance be "never li ked piano"
or you don't get
. Attend the enand really get into the
depth of each of these areas ' of
musical ex cellence. I think you'll
be pleasantl y surprised. It's a
bea utiful happening. And something totally new to Evergreen.

by Catherine Riddell
This year the LIVING CATALOG is 90
minutes of sometimes very enterta ining,
always engrossing, color television somewhat like a home movie for Evergreeners.
In the past , most faculty have participated in the program and the end product
has been little used . Perhaps this is the
reason o nly 17 of 58 programs participated
this year.
Contrasted with last yea r's LIVING
CATALOG there a re not as many oncamera droll monologues . Slides are more
imaginative - no more slides of a stack
of books that so me program des igner proposes to read - and there are more slides.
Camera work is more visually pleasing
a nd interestin g, usin g a variety of angles
a nd d issolves . There are three direc tors
instead of o ne and a large volunteer crew,
so two cameras can be opera ted .
Pro ducti on of the show involved $500
in materials , and fo ur weeks of full time
work for the three student directors, Jack

Hoffman, Margie Knowles, and James
Moore, as well as Ken Wilhelm and
others in Media Production and Graphics.
Each segment involved many hours of
pre-production for slides, music, consultation , and script design.
Usually , 45 minutes of color studio time
was required to produce a 20 minute tape,
which finally was edited to under fiv e
minutes . Many people involved in the
production received no credit, but had the
exposure to the color studio which is
worthwhile and added a lot to the quality
of the production by their efforts.
According to Walker Allen, Registrar,
the LIVING CATALOG shows the persona lities and sty les of the Evergreen faculty, so it's the next best thing to meeting
them . The show ca n be run during the
summer for registering students if fac ulty
are no t on campus.
Once the expe nse of producing the film
is past, it ca n be shown limitlessly at rela tively little cost. Potentially this film can
be shown to an estimated 27,000 cable televisio n viewers as well as at the commun-

ity coll eges .
The pr o duc tion ha s som e inh e r e nt
flaws. It is difficult for facu lty to have
very concrete pla ns for studies still five
months away. Some facu lty are not used
to being on TV . A pause is longer and
much more pompous appearing than
could ever have been intended. Normally
articulate instructors and their students
suddenl y freeze and become tongue-tied .
Ho~ever, once a person' sits down in
fro nt of the show, he or she will probably
stay for the whole presentation . Joye Pesk in and a company of three students do
an undu lating medicine show hype on her
cure for Evergreen burn out - Chautauqua - "$2.95 at your Registrar. " Susie
Strasser sits informa ll y with students and
props (a steel desk) on stage spending five
minutes wondering what to say, perhaps
to demonstrate the collective process of
decision making.
Don Chan and another musician perform " Mercy, Mercy" to publicize his jazz
contract. The Environments program segment showed slides of the science equip ment at Evergreen. Other slides show Evergreen theater productions, Evergreen intern s in the field , scenes from the
U .S.S.R. and film footage of Japan.
The 17 segments show all different

modes of stud y. Au tobioKraphy and Po·
litica l Ecology are the two Basic Coorui ·
na ted Studies shown. The on ly participa t ·
ing Divisional Coordinated Stud y is the
Performing Arts Today program . Inter ·
mediate Coo rdinated Studies shown are
Chautauqua, Intermediate Humanities. \
Management and the Public Int eres t , Th('
Northwest Coast, Reso urces for Self -De - I
termination , and Russia - U . S. S. R. Th e
Roots o f Our Ro manticism and Environ ments are the o nly Advanced Coordinated
Studies who participated. Six Group Con tracts inv'o lved are Community Advocacy,
Th e Creative Jazz Musiciarl . Marxi sm .
The New Non-Fictional Prose . Religion ill
the Life of Human Groups , a nd Wri ting
and Thought . Cooperative Education pro duced the final segme nt .
Potentiall y the LIVING CATA LOG is a
powerful tool for explaining Evergreen to
prospective students. It is hoped that
more faculty coordinators wi ll put the ir
energy into it. There was a meeting of a ll
coordina tors yesterday to discu ss their in volvement in the LIVING CATALOG.
Possibly more faculty will cooperate .
The LIVING CATALOG will be shown
on campus from May 13 to 28 , four tim es
a day; 9, 12 noon , 4 and 7, on campu s
cable television .

Kormondy Responds to Firings
b y Curt Milton
Finding himself in the middle of the
controversy surrounding the non-renewals
of contracts for two Evergreen faculty
members, Vice President and Provost Ed
Kormondy says he would have preferred
th at the matter rema ined private.
" . . . I think personnel decisions are
personal decisions," says Kormondy in
reference to his ruling not to rehire faculty
members Medardo Delgado a nd Jim Martinez at the end of their three year contracts. "My preference would have been,
in the case of the article in the CPJ las t
week, not to have seen that in the paper. "
Kormondy doesn't deny the right of a
free press to. pub lish, but would rather
have ke pt the non-renewals from becoming a "public matter." The knowledge of
those non-renewals, the first at Evergreen,
has prompted community responses ranging from outright anger to a dignified "ho
hum. " T he two non - retentions have hit
Eve rgreen fac ulty o n the touchy point of
their job security, and many of them are
worried .
Facu lty who have not been informed by
April 15 that their contract isn' t going to
be renewed or haven' t been warned by
their dean' that there may be problems
ahead, don't have anything to worry
about, Kormondy says. " If they' re worried, maybe they ought to be . ... " he
adds.
Adding fuel to a smoldering fire among
the faculty is the famo us Evergreen rumor
mill, which can exaggerate almost any situation on campus. "Before I know it,"
chuckles Kormondy, "125 faculty members have supposedly resigned ."
The final voice in matters of contract
renewa l belongs to Kormondy . He confirmed that during Evergreen's five year
history , no faculty members have been
told that their contract would not be renewed. However, several have been advised that they were facing the prospect
of non-renewal unless their teaching abilities improved .
During the evalua tion process leading
to a renewal / non-renewal decision, Kormondy reads recommendations by all the
deans involved and has the opti08 of reviewing the faculty's portfolio. " ... Regardless of the recommendation of the
deans," Kormondy explained, "the pro-'

vost must reserve the right , since he does
"Jave the final authority as well as respon sihility , to question any recommenda tion
made by a dean or the deans."
Several reliable sources, including Dea n
Rudy Martin, have said that in the cases
of Delgado and Martinez, Kormondy ex ercised t"a t right and overrode the recom mendatio:ls of both Martin and Dean
Willie Parson to renew. Kormondy denies
that, saying, "No, tha t's not true . In one

instance the deans recommended non-re tention and in the other they recommended retention. That's why I'm saying
what I sa id . Th~ b urden is on me to re ject a recommendation for retention or
non -reten tion."
One well- in formed faculty member sa id
that "I t's common knowledge" that Ko rmondy overrode the two deans . Obv iously, misi nform ation is being passed
aro und by somebody .

Kormondy does ack now ledge, in a n at temp t to contro l th e rumors, tha t severa l
fac ulty have resigned fo r "pe rsona l or
p rofess ional reasons ." They include :
Nao mi Greenhut, le m Stepherson , Ed
Reyno lds , Karen Syverson, Cha rles Lyons
a nd D um i Maraire who is "being termi nated at the end of this year for violat ion
of the social co ntract ," according to Kor mondy .

Midsummer Night's Dream
Premieres May 7
A Midsummer Night's Dream, one of
Shakespeare's mo st delightful co medies,
w ill be presented by an all -student group
May 7, 8 a nd 9 at Evergreen .
The group, led by student producer /
director laurel White, will give four performances of the play in the old cafeteria
o n th e fourth fl oor of the library.
Scheduled are three 8 p.m. evenil'g performances and one 2 p.m . matinee on
May 8. Genera l admission is $1 while stu dents pay just 50 cents.
Cast for the play includes David Couch
as both O beron and Theseus; Peggy
Knapp as T itania and Hippolyta; Cheryl
Wickland, Len Carr, J.e. Wills and Betsy
Wellings as the four young lovers : Hermia, Helena, Demetrius and Lysander;
Jeff A im as Bottom and Peter Clausen as
Puck.
Others in the cast include Clark Sanford, Collee n Kennedy, Pat Torphy,

MOUNTAIN CLUB
IMPORTANT
To the Editor :
This letter is a response to the
edi torial published in the April
2211d iss ue of the c.P. ] . aut hored
by Jill Stewa rt. The purpose of
my comments is twofold. Fi rst,
I'd like to relate to the general
co mmu nit y just w ha t is happen ing behind the scenes with their
outdoor gea r and, seco ndly , to
point out a seemingly contradictory stateme nt in the edito ri al
co mment s.
TESC. as many colleges do ,
provides a se rvi ce that enab les
co n Sid erab ly m o re peop le to
enjoy the mountains than normall y could . Thi s is the funct ion
of the Outdoor Equ ipment
C hecko ut Cent er. As mountai neering instructor for the school
this past w int er , I was constant ly
worki n g with this e quipment.
Ad ju stments and jerry-rigged repairs were often necessa ry for
the gear checked out by my studen ts . The co ndi tion o f this gear
was too often intolerable and
ma ny times dangerous. The Center was unabl e to a lleviate these
co nditions, for the most part.
In regard to thi s, I held di scussio ns with Pete Steilberg and
Ri ck T essand ore, the two men in
charge of the Ce nter. I believe
both Pete and Rick recognized
the serio usness of this sit uation.
After severa l deliberati ons with
the st uden ts in charge of the
Center and myself, they pro posed a policy change designed
to al levia te two problems: 1 ) lack
of adequate ma intenance proce d ures and qua lity cont rol and 2)
li abi lit y fo r th e equipment.
This policy provides that as of
Fa ll '76 , mountain equipment ,
w hi ch in cl udes ice a xes, ropes
an d crampon s, will become the

EDITOR

.~.t :

resronsibility of a mountain
"club." If no mountain organization is formed to take over use
and care of the gear, it will presumably si t idle in a corner and
collect cobwebs all year. The
Center will not check out the
equipment.
The club now forming has
among its objectives the establishment of a mountain equip.
center. The finances involved in
this action are not minimal. For
hel p, we have applied· for S&A
funds.
M s. Stewart, in her editorial,
enco urages a cost per student
analysis. T hi s is very sound advi ce, and something that we
have done long ago. Yet, further
on in her comments, Ms. Stew art states that some groups de se rv e nothing, that they "should
be completely left out." I would
like to see her rea so ns behind
suc h a suggest ion . Why does a
m o untain group deserve zero
when EPIC am:! other groups
"dese rve" plenty? I'm sure that
the Forensic and Film Bank
gro ups are as king simi lar questions . It is unfortunate to see
these comments in an editorial
that is otherw ise very sou nd.
Our budget request, to a great
ex tent , is simply asking for th e
amo unt of funds necessa ry to
take over the functions and re spo nsibilities that have previously
bee n assumed by the Rec. Cen ter . A -mountain o rganization is
not a frivolou s use of students'
funds , and deserves deliberation
eve ry bit as much as the Gay
Center, EPIC, or the Geoduck
Yacht Club. This service has
consistently been used by many
Eve rgreen students, and provides
people with a chance to ge t
away from the pressures and
pro blems of low land life and enjoy the mountains for a while .

To the Editor:
Your editorial in the April 22
CP j was an extremely distorted
and reactionary view of S&A
funding and of the Gay Center. I
mu st ad mit it didn' t really sur prise me. I've started more than
one letter to the edi tor, but this
time I'm going to fini sh and mail
it.
Fir~tly , the open ing paragraph
is very misleading . Student
groups do not know ahead of
time what the estimated S&A
budget is to be. They make their
req uests first , based on estimated
needs, and then attend meetings
a t which the funds are allocated.
You ma ke it so und as if these
" ze a lo u s" gro up s, particu larl y
sexual and racial minoriti es and
ra di cals , are guil t y of some
awful greedy sin for as kin g sub , tant ia l budgets of S&A.
Th e a rti cle then proceeds to
Id llnch into an ext remel y irrel e vant and hpter osex ist attack on
th e Gay Center whi ch I found
abso lut ely enragi ng. Congratula tion s for inventing so me new Everg reen jargon - "straight guilt"
- that' s a new o ne by me! However, it has nothing to do with
the GRC budget request.
You a lso portrayed the Gay
Center in downright competition
with the Women's and Men's Centers, which in no way furthers a sense of unity between
these and other groups, nor an
understanding of their roles for
th ose who are no t involved in
them.
The " membership " of other
groups is not mentioned in the
a rticle . Stra nge that the Gay
Center should be criticized for its
outside membership. It is one orga nization that should be applauded for its success in reaching non- TESC community members. The elitism implied by that
criticism is not uncommon at Evergre'Cn nor of this newspaper.
The editorial's closing statement, "Presen t your feelings. It's
you r money ." to me implies
somet hin g close to : "Hey! Don't
let those damn queers (and com mies and Injuns) get away with
all your money!" I can see those
white sheets and burning crosses
already. It is a real shame that
you choose to write editorials
which p it us aga inst one another
rather than ones w hich foster
understanding and cooperation .
Judith Utevsky

EDITORIAL
REBUTTAL
T a the Editor:
Jill Stewart's use of facts is her
opinion and isn't right or wrong
as much as it is a misrepresentation. She selected her facts in
hopes of 1) arousing interest in
S&A funding, and 2) expressing
her opinion that the Gay Resource Ce nter's budget increase
of "]64 %" is overly self-impor tant.
Her concern about S&A's
budget is intelligently taken. Student monies are tight and appro priations will be difficult this
year.
But she in accurately posits the
GRC against other student orga ni zations. Student organizati ons provide essent ial serv ices
together and st retch their budgets
through volunteer staffing , frugal
spe ndin g and donations. The
amaz ing degree of cooperation
between the "3rd floor groups" is
proof that the ties between
women , . feminist men , gays and
racial minorities is more than
just th eoretical. It's not a question of us or them . WE all need
money .
In th e case of the GRC, Jin's
"ra tion a l questions" only partly
apply to an organization based
on confidentiality. We are a resource center, not a membership
orga ni zat ion . The success of our

projects is based on quality and
need, and we certain ly shouldn' t
be penalized for the ties o ur resources have developed with the
comm unity.
Th a t "s traight guilt" part was
pure shit. As a se rvice center, we
base our growth on ou r strength
as an organization, not on someone else's guilt.
Evident ly, she sing led out the
GRC because our "164 % increase" is the largest. This is a
mi sleading figure because it is
computed by the ratio of what
we requested this year over wha t
we received last year rather than
what we req uested this year over
w hat we requested last year.
There's o nl y a certain amount of
money and her approach fixes
blame on the groups asking for
money . ra ther than on th e lack
of money.
I don 't wa nt to ge t in to a lo ng
lit a ny but I will plu g ou r new
prog ram for next fa ll - The
Cha ngi ng Statu s of Hom osexua ls.
pl a nn ed by students a nd O lympian s - and me ntion that the
g rowth of th e national ga y
moveme nt has mea nt an increase
in the use of our resource center.
If you 'd like to hear the enti re
lit <l ny, the office is staffed 1 - 3
p.m. and 6 - 9 p.m, weekdays.

WITH SINCERE
SYMPATHY
To the Ed itor:
Shock I and Disgust! are my
foremost reactions to the news of
non -renewal of faculty member
James Martinez' contract.
I feel that an honest re-evalua tion of Mr. Martinez and, indeed, of the eva luator himself is
highly in order.
I fee l that the decision for nonrenewal is another solid step in
the death of all the original con cep~s and hopes of the deSigners
of Evergreen.
For years, I have defended Evergreen in a ll that it stood for.
Today, I feel only shame .
Evergreen is dying.
With sincere sympathy,
Robert Apgood

EPIC LIVING
UP TO NAME?
To the Editor:
In a few days , a lmost ten
thousand dollars of genera l
student fu nds might be given to
EP IC. If this money would support so me type of open political
forum on campus, the money
would be well spent. From what
I have seen, however, the information emanating from EPIC is
extremely predictable and approaches popular music in its
periodic and regular nature. The
se rvice this money provides is
mor e akin to chanting than
debate, and actually tends to
stifl e rational discourse. The '
chances of having an open political discussion at the EPIC table
in CAB are about the same as
having an open discussion at the
John Birch tabl e at Podunk
Coun ty Fair. In fact, a portrait
of Uncle Sam is no more intimidating than the battery of
clenched fists and open mouths
with which EPIC continually
confro nts us .
I strongly feel that EPIC does
no t live up to its name and does

not fulfi ll its purpose of promoting free and rational dialogue.
Further, I do not think tha t
EPIC would stand a chance of
getting S&A funds this year if it
wasn't a given that they received
funding last year. Lastly, because
it repre se nts such a partisan
political viewpo int, EPIC should
be se lf fund ing and not rely on a
community it does not truly represent.
Sincerely,
Stephen Harrison

SUPPORTS EPIC
FULLY
To the Ed itor:
I wou ld like to express my
support for the Evergreen Politica l Informa ti on Center (EPIC). I
have attended several of th e
Monday Nigh t Fi lm and Speaker
Series presentat ions and was im pressed by the fact that they are
act ively co ncerned w ith problems
a nd inequities in thi s country
and other nati o ns . I see some
w ho prefer to retreat , and view
themse lves as individual s with
iso la ted problems.
It is incorrect to assume that
any information, especially polit ica l information , cou ld be objec ti ve. Eve ry person ha s their
"slan t" on the world and objectivity is.a myth . EPIC does not
pretend to be ob ject ive. They
present a lternative informa ti on,
whic h for th e most part is not
dealt w ith by the stra ight media .
I am glad suc h an organization is
at Evergreen. I support them
fu ll y .

SYMPTOM OF
GROWING
BUREAUCRACY
To the Editor:
We as students agree with
Earle McNeil's statements in last
week's CPJ regarding the recent
faculty contract non-renewals
(firings). We feel that our viewpoint as students needs to be
voiced, since the facu lty are here

In order to meet studen t needs,
a facu lty pool with diverse cul tural backgrounds is vital. Having come into contact with Jim
Martinez in a successful coordinated studies program , we feel
his unique cultural background
challenges our ideals, and his in struc t iona
style forces students
to take a greater responsibility in
their learning and embodies a
basic concept of Evergreen w hi ch
is the in dividual learning process.
Since the individual is stressed
and educatio n is supposed to
take a personalized mode, why is
it that the facu lty who best reinforce these Evergreen principles
are the ones leaving? The inflexibility of Evergreen's standard for
teaching methods must be questioned. Minority faculty are beco n tilllled

New Phone 357-6245

by Matt Groening
This is the first article in a three-part
series about films and filmmaking at Evergreen. Many of the movies mentioned in
this article are available for viewing from
the Washington State Film Library .
Successful st udent films at Evergreen
are few and far between. Movies like
"The Bus Station Documentary," "T he
31st of September, " and " My Left Foot
for 22 Minutes" are ill-conceived, technically rotten, and unbelievably boring to
watch. Countless ot hers are even worse.
But every year or so a ta lented student
co mes along, learns how to focus a camera, gets serious, a nd produces a film
which delights a udiences wherever it goes.
One such movie is recent Evergreen graduate JIM COX's "Eat the Sun," which
won first pri zes at the 1975 Bellevue Film
Festival and the Northwest Film and
Video Festival in Portland, and assorted
prizes and awards at other festiva ls
throughout the country.
" Ea t the Sun" is a science-fict ion pseudo-documen tary about the selling of a flyby -night religion which worships closed
circuit TV images. Cox himself has a
cameo role as a drooling , burned-out con-

vert. The dazzling video feedback he experimented with in his previous film
"Neptune" gives "Eat the Sun" a professiona l look missing from most studentmade movies,
Another successful filmmaker is
FRANKIE FOSTER, whose 1972 film
"Phosphenes" is one of the best computeran im ated films ever made. For a student
film (Fos~er made it when he was 18),
" Phosphenes" is outstanding . It has appeared at numerous festivals, and has
won a Kodak Teenage Film Award and a
C INE Gold Eagle.
Foster's main projec t - in-progress is
abou t as ambitious as you can ge t : a feature-length film. "Center Courtyard" is
set in a high schoo l in 1970, the year Foster wrote the scr ipt . "After six year's of
work , 'Center Courtyard' is a period
film," says Foster . "If a person were going
to make a film about high school , this
period would be one of the most interest ing because of all the conflicts - studen t
righ ts, the war, and so on."
W hil e waiting for "Center Courtyard"
we can look forward to a new film by
PAUL MASON , who is working on a
slightly faster sc hedule. Later this month

Mason will premiere his 12-minute animated film "Goya." The idea for the
movie about the great Spanish painter
came to Mason when he was a student in
the Demonic Arts class a t the Massachusetts College of Art two years ago. The
project developed from a slide show to a
super-8 movie, and now has become a 16millimeter film with a musical soundtrack
by Santana.
"Goya," which will be shown at the
Friday Night Film Series soon, will be
"fast-paced and intense," Mason promises.
"It could have been two hours long."
Another student animator is RICKY
FORD, who holds reign over the school's
animation stand as the official Animation
Supervisor. Ford's film work includes the
title sequences for Lee Meister's "Voodoo
In Budapest" and "Let the Voice of the
People Be Heard," as well as short animated sections of a local fire safety film.
His drawings are slick and professionallooking, recalling the art of "Krazy Kat"
and National Lampoon cartoonist Bobby
London.
Ford is at work on three cartoons involving sophistica ted animation technique
at
"Prehysteric Hassle," about

the short, traumatic life of a caveman,
"Hubie and Jocko," about the adventures
of a gorilla and a munchkin-Iike boy, and
"Gooey the Geoduck," about a big, slimy
clam . ''[' d like to see more people doing
animation here," 'Ford says. 'Til give anyone a workshop any time."
"Carl the Fabulous Snake" is the tit le of
DON DAPP's first 16-millimeter effort,
now being shot. When asked what it is
about, Don says, "Weird things happen at
three in the morning." The five-to-seven
minute film has a projected completion
date of mid-June.
Despite the abundance of movies never
finished and movies that unfortunately
were completed, Evergreen filmmakers are
more excited about their work than ever.
Even the shoddiest, sloppiest piece of
trash is usually the result of weeks of effort, but if it draws yawns at more than a
couple screenings, the makers wisely let it
rest JlI peace, a nd begin again . What filmmakers are working for, why they spend
hours setting up a shot , why they sweat
over an editing bench late at night. w hat
they're really dying for, is the sound of a
satisfied audience. It makes it all worth it.

Free Medical Care Hushed Up
By Ed Zuckerma n
Politics of Health Care Group Contract
Do you have hospital bills you cannot
afford to pay? Are you ineligible for
Medicaid but too poor to buy private
health insurance? Free hospital care is
available, by law, to people lik e you .
If you didn't know that, it is because
hospitals don't wa nt you to. It is a little
known fact that hospitals across the country have received over $4 billion from
taxpayers via the H ill-Burt on program.
Hill-Burton is an Act of Congress which
was passed in 1946. The act set up a system for the alloca tion of tax monies to
subsidize hospital construction costs. The
grants are on ly for construction purposes
a nd are not used in hospital operat in g
budgets. Over 1,000 general hospitals,
menta l hospitals a nd public health centers
have received HilI- Burton money. These
hospitals do not have to pay the money
to the government. However, the law
does require them to "provide a reasonable volume of free or below cost services to persons unable to pay therefore."
This uncompensated ~are is added as an
expense to the hospital's operating budget.
For 30 years most hospitals have accepted Hill- Burton money, conveniently
ignori ng the free care stipulation. Hospitals were able to skip out on their obligation because the government had no procedures to implement free care under HillBurton. There were no government standards for what a "reasonable volume of
free care" was, Furthermore the government did not audit hospital financial records to insure the provision of free care at
all.
In the early 1970's several welfare rights
organizations and legal service lawyers
sued the government for lack of enforcement of the Hill -Burton Act. Some suits
direct ly charged specific hospitals with
non-compliance. Subsequent to these successful court actions, the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare (HEW)
was forced to formu late Hill-Burton regu lations. However, four years after the
adoption of regulations and 30 years after
the passage of the original act, many hos-

pita ls are st ill stalling.
In Thurston and Mason Counties, two
hospitals have received Hill -Burton funds.
St. Peter in Olympia received $1 ,711 ,820
for construc tion and Mason General in
Shelton received $688,533. Under HEW
regu lations St. Peter and Mason Genera l
are to choose one of three options for
budgeting uncompensated free care. The
first two options are: 1.) "not less than
three percent of the hospital's operating
costs (minus reimbursements under Medicare-Medicaid programs)." 2.) "not less
,than 10 percent of all government assist ance provided under this act."
Both St. Peter and Mason General have
opted for the third choice, which states
that they wi ll not turn away anyone asking for care, regardless of their ability to
pay for the care. This is known as the
"open door" policy.
Because the other two options require
hospitals to furnish specific dollar amounts
for free care, the vague open door policy
is much more appealing. This appeal can
be easily seen when comparing the dollar
amounts under each option. Had SI. Peter
chosen option one (three percent of operating budget) they would have been required to provide over $100,000 in free

uncompensated care . Under option two
th e fre e care cost would hav e been
$171,182. Under the option they chose
(open door) , St. Peter provided just
$42,000 in free or below cost care in 1975.
Under the open door policy it is in the
hospital 's interest to keep Hill -Burton un der the tab le . As long as the hospital does
not publicize the fact that they provide
free care to the indigent , an uninformed
public will not ask for it. For those people who are desperately in need of care
but don't have the resources to pay for it,
knowledge of Hill -Burton monies could
make a tremendous difference.
Among the different tactics used by
hosp itals to keep Hill- Burton an unknown
en tit y, is restricting knowledge of the progra m to the domain of hosp ital adminis trators . When this writer asked a receptionist at St. Peter about Hill-Burton, she
started looking in the patient roster. Per sonnel, such as this reception ist, are the
people likely to be in contact with patients
requesting free care information . Person nel ignorance of the program clearly restricts the patient's right to know.
To combat this problem, government
regulations mandate that signs be posted
throughout the hospital, explaining the

free care requirement. A t a minimum
th ese signs must be posted in the admitting
room, the emergency room a nd the business office. This particular requirement is
the clearest of the Hill -Burton regulations.
It states the exact size and wordi ng of the
signs. Although this regulation came out
seven months ago, Mason General still
has no signs. St. Peter has the minimum
three signs . However the sign in the
emergency area is almost hidden fr om
the sight of the waiting patients. I t is not
in the waiting room but rather around the
corner in an area rest ricted from patients.
Another regulation states that class ifica tion of a patient as a Hill-Burton recipient
must be made prior to the delivery of
care, The reason behind this is to give the
medically needy the knowledge that the
care provided will not be fo llowed by
harassment through collection agencies
and possible litigation. Man y poor people
will not seek the care they need beca use
they cannot afford to pay.
The prior determination clause is an un comfortable one for hospitals . Both St.
Peter and Mason General have an un official po licy of treatment first and then di scuss ion of th e bi ll. Hospit a ls ben ef it
grea tly from non-prior determination beca use if the decision co ncerning payment
is postponed till after treatment , the hos pital has the opportunity to record anybody who ha s not paid the ir bill as a Hilt Burton case. Since anyone could deci de
not to pay their bill the practice of chargin g bad debts off as a part of the Hill -Burton obligatio n is clearly illegal.
While there are many examples of compliance, it is the intent and not the letter
of the law that makes a difference for
poor people in 'need of health care . These
hospitals have an obligation to provide
free care. They exist partly on tax dol lars, Because of those tax dollars, poor
people have a lega l right to demand access
to information and care. But too often
hospitals restrict this right in the goal of
maximizing profits.
Everybody wants something for free
and hospitals are no except ion .

MOUNTAIN CLUB
IMPORTANT
To the Editor :
This letter is a response to the
edi torial published in the April
2211d iss ue of the c.P. ] . aut hored
by Jill Stewa rt. The purpose of
my comments is twofold. Fi rst,
I'd like to relate to the general
co mmu nit y just w ha t is happen ing behind the scenes with their
outdoor gea r and, seco ndly , to
point out a seemingly contradictory stateme nt in the edito ri al
co mment s.
TESC. as many colleges do ,
provides a se rvi ce that enab les
co n Sid erab ly m o re peop le to
enjoy the mountains than normall y could . Thi s is the funct ion
of the Outdoor Equ ipment
C hecko ut Cent er. As mountai neering instructor for the school
this past w int er , I was constant ly
worki n g with this e quipment.
Ad ju stments and jerry-rigged repairs were often necessa ry for
the gear checked out by my studen ts . The co ndi tion o f this gear
was too often intolerable and
ma ny times dangerous. The Center was unabl e to a lleviate these
co nditions, for the most part.
In regard to thi s, I held di scussio ns with Pete Steilberg and
Ri ck T essand ore, the two men in
charge of the Ce nter. I believe
both Pete and Rick recognized
the serio usness of this sit uation.
After severa l deliberati ons with
the st uden ts in charge of the
Center and myself, they pro posed a policy change designed
to al levia te two problems: 1 ) lack
of adequate ma intenance proce d ures and qua lity cont rol and 2)
li abi lit y fo r th e equipment.
This policy provides that as of
Fa ll '76 , mountain equipment ,
w hi ch in cl udes ice a xes, ropes
an d crampon s, will become the

EDITOR

.~.t :

resronsibility of a mountain
"club." If no mountain organization is formed to take over use
and care of the gear, it will presumably si t idle in a corner and
collect cobwebs all year. The
Center will not check out the
equipment.
The club now forming has
among its objectives the establishment of a mountain equip.
center. The finances involved in
this action are not minimal. For
hel p, we have applied· for S&A
funds.
M s. Stewart, in her editorial,
enco urages a cost per student
analysis. T hi s is very sound advi ce, and something that we
have done long ago. Yet, further
on in her comments, Ms. Stew art states that some groups de se rv e nothing, that they "should
be completely left out." I would
like to see her rea so ns behind
suc h a suggest ion . Why does a
m o untain group deserve zero
when EPIC am:! other groups
"dese rve" plenty? I'm sure that
the Forensic and Film Bank
gro ups are as king simi lar questions . It is unfortunate to see
these comments in an editorial
that is otherw ise very sou nd.
Our budget request, to a great
ex tent , is simply asking for th e
amo unt of funds necessa ry to
take over the functions and re spo nsibilities that have previously
bee n assumed by the Rec. Cen ter . A -mountain o rganization is
not a frivolou s use of students'
funds , and deserves deliberation
eve ry bit as much as the Gay
Center, EPIC, or the Geoduck
Yacht Club. This service has
consistently been used by many
Eve rgreen students, and provides
people with a chance to ge t
away from the pressures and
pro blems of low land life and enjoy the mountains for a while .

To the Editor:
Your editorial in the April 22
CP j was an extremely distorted
and reactionary view of S&A
funding and of the Gay Center. I
mu st ad mit it didn' t really sur prise me. I've started more than
one letter to the edi tor, but this
time I'm going to fini sh and mail
it.
Fir~tly , the open ing paragraph
is very misleading . Student
groups do not know ahead of
time what the estimated S&A
budget is to be. They make their
req uests first , based on estimated
needs, and then attend meetings
a t which the funds are allocated.
You ma ke it so und as if these
" ze a lo u s" gro up s, particu larl y
sexual and racial minoriti es and
ra di cals , are guil t y of some
awful greedy sin for as kin g sub , tant ia l budgets of S&A.
Th e a rti cle then proceeds to
Id llnch into an ext remel y irrel e vant and hpter osex ist attack on
th e Gay Center whi ch I found
abso lut ely enragi ng. Congratula tion s for inventing so me new Everg reen jargon - "straight guilt"
- that' s a new o ne by me! However, it has nothing to do with
the GRC budget request.
You a lso portrayed the Gay
Center in downright competition
with the Women's and Men's Centers, which in no way furthers a sense of unity between
these and other groups, nor an
understanding of their roles for
th ose who are no t involved in
them.
The " membership " of other
groups is not mentioned in the
a rticle . Stra nge that the Gay
Center should be criticized for its
outside membership. It is one orga nization that should be applauded for its success in reaching non- TESC community members. The elitism implied by that
criticism is not uncommon at Evergre'Cn nor of this newspaper.
The editorial's closing statement, "Presen t your feelings. It's
you r money ." to me implies
somet hin g close to : "Hey! Don't
let those damn queers (and com mies and Injuns) get away with
all your money!" I can see those
white sheets and burning crosses
already. It is a real shame that
you choose to write editorials
which p it us aga inst one another
rather than ones w hich foster
understanding and cooperation .
Judith Utevsky

EDITORIAL
REBUTTAL
T a the Editor:
Jill Stewart's use of facts is her
opinion and isn't right or wrong
as much as it is a misrepresentation. She selected her facts in
hopes of 1) arousing interest in
S&A funding, and 2) expressing
her opinion that the Gay Resource Ce nter's budget increase
of "]64 %" is overly self-impor tant.
Her concern about S&A's
budget is intelligently taken. Student monies are tight and appro priations will be difficult this
year.
But she in accurately posits the
GRC against other student orga ni zations. Student organizati ons provide essent ial serv ices
together and st retch their budgets
through volunteer staffing , frugal
spe ndin g and donations. The
amaz ing degree of cooperation
between the "3rd floor groups" is
proof that the ties between
women , . feminist men , gays and
racial minorities is more than
just th eoretical. It's not a question of us or them . WE all need
money .
In th e case of the GRC, Jin's
"ra tion a l questions" only partly
apply to an organization based
on confidentiality. We are a resource center, not a membership
orga ni zat ion . The success of our

projects is based on quality and
need, and we certain ly shouldn' t
be penalized for the ties o ur resources have developed with the
comm unity.
Th a t "s traight guilt" part was
pure shit. As a se rvice center, we
base our growth on ou r strength
as an organization, not on someone else's guilt.
Evident ly, she sing led out the
GRC because our "164 % increase" is the largest. This is a
mi sleading figure because it is
computed by the ratio of what
we requested this year over wha t
we received last year rather than
what we req uested this year over
w hat we requested last year.
There's o nl y a certain amount of
money and her approach fixes
blame on the groups asking for
money . ra ther than on th e lack
of money.
I don 't wa nt to ge t in to a lo ng
lit a ny but I will plu g ou r new
prog ram for next fa ll - The
Cha ngi ng Statu s of Hom osexua ls.
pl a nn ed by students a nd O lympian s - and me ntion that the

in the use of our resource center.

p.m. and 6 - 9 p.m, weekdays.

WITH SINCERE
SYMPATHY
To the Ed itor:
Shock I and Disgust! are my
foremost reactions to the news of
non -renewal of faculty member
James Martinez' contract.
I feel that an honest re-evalua tion of Mr. Martinez and, indeed, of the eva luator himself is
highly in order.
I fee l that the decision for nonrenewal is another solid step in
the death of all the original con cep~s and hopes of the deSigners
of Evergreen.
For years, I have defended Evergreen in a ll that it stood for.
Today, I feel only shame .
Evergreen is dying.
With sincere sympathy,

EPIC LIVING
UP TO NAME?
To the Editor:
In a few days , a lmost ten
thousand dollars of genera l
student fu nds might be given to
EP IC. If this money would support so me type of open political
forum on campus, the money
would be well spent. From what
I have seen, however, the information emanating from EPIC is
extremely predictable and approaches popular music in its
periodic and regular nature. The
se rvice this money provides is
mor e akin to chanting than
debate, and actually tends to
stifl e rational discourse. The '
chances of having an open political discussion at the EPIC table
in CAB are about the same as
having an open discussion at the
John Birch tabl e at Podunk
Coun ty Fair. In fact, a portrait
of Uncle Sam is no more intimidating than the battery of
clenched fists and open mouths
with which EPIC continually
confro nts us .
I strongly feel that EPIC does
no t live up to its name and does

not fulfi ll its purpose of promoting free and rational dialogue.
Further, I do not think tha t
EPIC would stand a chance of
getting S&A funds this year if it
wasn't a given that they received
funding last year. Lastly, because
it repre se nts such a partisan
political viewpo int, EPIC should
be se lf fund ing and not rely on a
community it does not truly represent.
Sincerely,
Stephen Harrison

SUPPORTS EPIC
FULLY
To the Ed itor:
I wou ld like to express my
support for the Evergreen Politica l Informa ti on Center (EPIC). I
have attended several of th e
Monday Nigh t Fi lm and Speaker
Series presentat ions and was im pressed by the fact that they are
act ively co ncerned w ith problems
a nd inequities in thi s country
and other nati o ns . I see some
w ho prefer to retreat , and view
themse lves as individual s with
iso la ted problems.
It is incorrect to assume that
any information, especially polit ica l information , cou ld be objec ti ve. Eve ry person ha s their
"slan t" on the world and objectivity is.a myth . EPIC does not
pretend to be ob ject ive. They
present a lternative informa ti on,
whic h for th e most part is not
dealt w ith by the stra ight media .
I am glad suc h an organization is
at Evergreen. I support them
fu ll y .

This is the first article in a three-part
series about films and filmmaking at Evergreen. Many of the movies mentioned in
this article are available for viewing from
the Washington State Film Library .

"Carl the Fabulous Snake" is the tit le of
DON DAPP's first 16-millimeter effort,
now being shot. When asked what it is
about, Don says, "Weird things happen at
three in the morning." The five-to-seven
minute film has a projected completion
date of mid-June.
Despite the abundance of movies never
finished and movies that unfortunately
were completed, Evergreen filmmakers are
more excited about their work than ever.
Even the shoddiest, sloppiest piece of
trash is usually the result of weeks of effort, but if it draws yawns at more than a
couple screenings, the makers wisely let it
rest JlI peace, a nd begin again . What filmmakers are working for, why they spend
hours setting up a shot , why they sweat
over an editing bench late at night. w hat
they're really dying for, is the sound of a
satisfied audience. It makes it all worth it.

Free Medical Care Hushed Up
By Ed Zuckerma n
Politics of Health Care Group Contract
Do you have hospital bills you cannot
afford to pay? Are you ineligible for
Medicaid but too poor to buy private
health insurance? Free hospital care is
available, by law, to people lik e you .
If you didn't know that, it is because
hospitals don't wa nt you to. It is a little
known fact that hospitals across the country have received over $4 billion from
taxpayers via the H ill-Burt on program.
Hill-Burton is an Act of Congress which
was passed in 1946. The act set up a system for the alloca tion of tax monies to
subsidize hospital construction costs. The
grants are on ly for construction purposes
a nd are not used in hospital operat in g
budgets. Over 1,000 general hospitals,
menta l hospitals a nd public health centers
have received HilI- Burton money. These
hospitals do not have to pay the money
to the government. However, the law
does require them to "provide a reasonable volume of free or below cost services to persons unable to pay therefore."
This uncompensated ~are is added as an
expense to the hospital's operating budget.
For 30 years most hospitals have accepted Hill- Burton money, conveniently
ignori ng the free care stipulation. Hospitals were able to skip out on their obligation because the government had no procedures to implement free care under HillBurton. There were no government standards for what a "reasonable volume of
free care" was, Furthermore the government did not audit hospital financial records to insure the provision of free care at
all.
In the early 1970's several welfare rights
organizations and legal service lawyers
sued the government for lack of enforcement of the Hill -Burton Act. Some suits
direct ly charged specific hospitals with
non-compliance. Subsequent to these successful court actions, the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare (HEW)
was forced to formu late Hill-Burton regu lations. However, four years after the
adoption of regulations and 30 years after
the passage of the original act, many hos-

pita ls are st ill stalling.
In Thurston and Mason Counties, two
hospitals have received Hill -Burton funds.
St. Peter in Olympia received $1 ,711 ,820
for construc tion and Mason General in
Shelton received $688,533. Under HEW
regu lations St. Peter and Mason Genera l
are to choose one of three options for
budgeting uncompensated free care. The
first two options are: 1.) "not less than
three percent of the hospital's operating
costs (minus reimbursements under Medicare-Medicaid programs)." 2.) "not less
,than 10 percent of all government assist ance provided under this act."
Both St. Peter and Mason General have
opted for the third choice, which states
that they wi ll not turn away anyone asking for care, regardless of their ability to
pay for the care. This is known as the
"open door" policy.
Because the other two options require
hospitals to furnish specific dollar amounts
for free care, the vague open door policy
is much more appealing. This appeal can
be easily seen when comparing the dollar
amounts under each option. Had SI. Peter
chosen option one (three percent of operating budget) they would have been required to provide over $100,000 in free

uncompensated care . Under option two
th e fre e care cost would hav e been
$171,182. Under the option they chose
(open door) , St. Peter provided just
$42,000 in free or below cost care in 1975.
Under the open door policy it is in the
hospital 's interest to keep Hill -Burton un der the tab le . As long as the hospital does
not publicize the fact that they provide
free care to the indigent , an uninformed
public will not ask for it. For those people who are desperately in need of care
but don't have the resources to pay for it,
knowledge of Hill -Burton monies could
make a tremendous difference.
Among the different tactics used by
hosp itals to keep Hill- Burton an unknown
en tit y, is restricting knowledge of the progra m to the domain of hosp ital adminis trators . When this writer asked a receptionist at St. Peter about Hill-Burton, she
started looking in the patient roster. Per sonnel, such as this reception ist, are the
people likely to be in contact with patients
requesting free care information . Person nel ignorance of the program clearly restricts the patient's right to know.
To combat this problem, government
regulations mandate that signs be posted
throughout the hospital, explaining the

free care requirement. A t a minimum
th ese signs must be posted in the admitting
room, the emergency room a nd the business office. This particular requirement is
the clearest of the Hill -Burton regulations.
It states the exact size and wordi ng of the
signs. Although this regulation came out
seven months ago, Mason General still
has no signs. St. Peter has the minimum
three signs . However the sign in the
emergency area is almost hidden fr om
the sight of the waiting patients. I t is not
in the waiting room but rather around the
corner in an area rest ricted from patients.
Another regulation states that class ifica tion of a patient as a Hill-Burton recipient
must be made prior to the delivery of
care, The reason behind this is to give the
medically needy the knowledge that the
care provided will not be fo llowed by
harassment through collection agencies
and possible litigation. Man y poor people
will not seek the care they need beca use
they cannot afford to pay.
The prior determination clause is an un comfortable one for hospitals . Both St.
Peter and Mason General have an un official po licy of treatment first and then di scuss ion of th e bi ll. Hospit a ls ben ef it
grea tly from non-prior determination beca use if the decision co ncerning payment
is postponed till after treatment , the hos pital has the opportunity to record anybody who ha s not paid the ir bill as a Hilt Burton case. Since anyone could deci de
not to pay their bill the practice of chargin g bad debts off as a part of the Hill -Burton obligatio n is clearly illegal.
While there are many examples of compliance, it is the intent and not the letter
of the law that makes a difference for
poor people in 'need of health care . These
hospitals have an obligation to provide
free care. They exist partly on tax dol lars, Because of those tax dollars, poor
people have a lega l right to demand access
to information and care. But too often
hospitals restrict this right in the goal of
maximizing profits.
Everybody wants something for free
and hospitals are no except ion .

The action taken by the Pro vost is a symptom of Evergreen's
growing bureaucracy and imper sonalization . We hope such behavior will not develop into a

to take a hard look at this growing bureaucracy and its declining

The action taken by the Pro vost is a symptom of Evergreen's
growing bureaucracy and imper sonalization . We hope such behavior will not develop into a
pa ttern . Perhaps Evergreen needs
to take a hard look at this growing bureaucracy and its declining
enrollment. Evergreen is beginning to rid itself of the faculty
who can communicate with students on a humanistic level as
well as an academic one.

this past year, and Internships are an excellent way . Right now
and this summer there will be Internships avai lable in most areas
of study. Neurological Science Interns are needed, so are people
interested inGer 'ontological Studies. There are many openings for
summer Playground Leaders, Day Camp Counselors, Recreati on
Aids, and Youth Services Interns. Theatre Technicians, Radi o •

Women Make Their Own Music

by John Foster
KAOS Music Director
Co ns idering the sexist nature
01 the recording industry it is
eas y to see why women would
have to and want to make their
own records.
O li l'i'l .'?ec o rds (P.O . Box
70237 , Los Angf'les , CA 90070)
is totally owned and run by
women. They have put out two
r(,cords thus far and distribute a
third . They are: Meg Christian
_ I Kll OW YOII Kllow , Cris Williams0n - Th e Changer and the
C I"lIl g cd, and Kay Gardner ' s
.IvI,)QII Circles on Urana. As
much as I respect their efforts I
ha \'(' reservations about the mu' ica l \'alue of all three. Kay
Cdrdner , a member of Lavender
/ , 111(, . a ppears to have the most
l11u <ical sense except when she
, ings, Her instrumental pieces
.H e c la ssically influe nced and

have a spiritual feel about them,
Meg Christian is raunchy and
gung ho and very popu lar be cause of it. Cris Williamson has
an intriguing voice that does not
necessarily work , The songs are
personal and as self- indulgent as
their male counterparts,
Redwood Records (565 Doolin
Canyo n Road, Ukiah, CA 95482)
made Holly Near's first three records wi th Jeff Langley , I can't
stand Holly Near and no longer
fee l gu ilty about it. However,
she is very popu lar around here
for some reason, and if you
haven't heard her I wou ld suggest finding out why,
The Womens Music Network
(Box 17 N,Y" N ,Y. 10014) put
out the infamous Lavender lane
Loves Women -- an unspectacular folk a lbum spouting lesbian

propaganda and singing some
nice old songs with lots of
spunk.

Virgo Rising - Songs of Sisterhood (Thunderbird Records,
1420 N, Virginia St .. Reno,
Nevada 89503) is exactly that.
Malv ina Reynolds (Schroder
M usic Peop le, 2027 Parker St.,
Berkeley, CA 94704) is an old
woman who writes and croaks
clever folk songs on topical subjects ,
Although I can see these records being of value to those
women who are freshwomen in
femi nism, I don' t th in k that's
wfto they reach, They reach the
smug, th ose who can nega te the
wo rth of men (as these records
tend to) in a single glare ,
The music is basicly drawn
from a pecu liarly white "folk"

form that is e litist in nature, Ah,
the basic problem, separating the
politics from the music. In these
few women's records I do see begin nings - and with beginnings
come possibilities - that are indeed encourag ing. Movements
are changing, To integrate is to
sell out. As one who was raised
to respect differences in people
and learn from them t he though t
t-hat a ll t hese women have
no thing to learn from 'men is indeed scary . I know I have much
to learn from them, I wou ld not
like to close myse lf off to an entire sex.
Not a ll women's records are
intended purely for women ,
Very few women composers
have received proper recognition,
T he Women's Movement is
changing that .

ENTERTAINMENT

Radio Canada regularly records works by Canad ian classical composers of either sex, Sister Nancy Fierro has a record
out called Premiere: Keyboard
Works by Women (Avant Records, 6331 Quebec Dr., Hollywood, CA 90068),

A complete picture of a person 's physical condi tion cannot
be obtained at rest in the doctor's office . Doctors are finding
that a more accurate way to test
the body is while it is under
stress, in c~njunction with testing
before and after the stress is incurred . The computer programmed treadmill is considered
the most effective technique for
monitoring this process.
Don Humphrey is custodian ,
coordinator and operator trainer
for Evergreen's own $18,000
treadmill. Under a program developed by Dr. R. A, Bruce of
the University of Washington,
the treadmill has monitored and
he lped refer several hundred Evergren community members and
is helping in the treatment of approximate ly 50 Olympia area
heart patients, under the supervi sion of their doctors,
Although the test would cost
about $100 if done by a private
doctor , Evergreen's test is available free of charge,
The test , which increases the
speed and slope of the treadmill
in three minute increments for
up to 2'] minutes (which no one
has done on this machine), tests a
person to his l her maximum, The
test monitors aerobic capacity,
cardiovascular response, and the
balance of forces at the cell
membrane : essentially the body's
condition and ability to respond
to and recover from stress.
Equipment consists of a large
treadmill , and a computer that
programs both treadmill speed
and slope, and monitors body responses (including blood pressure, heart rate, and vital lung
capacity) up to the point of max imum stress,
What is produced by reaching
this point of maximum stress is a
chart of Functional Aerobic Capacity, actually an electrocardiogram (ECG), which, when com-

pared w ith the expected capacity
for a healthy person of the same
age and sex, show s Funct ional
Aerobic Impairment. The test in g
team prov ides interpreta tion of
these test resu lt s,
A healthy person's heart rate
will usually increase by 100 beats
and blood pressure by 50 - 60
mm of Hg . The body's abil ity to
recover after running is a lso indicative of the health of the circulatory system. If significant
impairment exists this could be a
sign of heart disease, All the
data is recorded on the ECG
tape w h ich the person being
tested can keep,
Taking the test requires an appointment lasting approximately
half an hour. It is important to
be on time because the procedure
can easily last over 30 minutes.
Come dressed to run and to have
elec trodes taped to your chest.
Bring shorts and tennis shoes ,
Women should wear a halter
top,
The individual to be tested
must sign an Informed Consent
cosigned by two witnesses, after
reading a six page information
sheet on the exercise testing , An
informational questionnaire also
must be completed, giving height ,
weight, age, time and contents of
last meal , whether the individual
is active or sedentary, and the
amount of rest the night before ,
The first test is for vital capac ity - how many cubic centimeters of air a person's lungs
can hold, This is measured by
emptying the lungs, taking a
deep breath, and exhaling as
fully as possible into a cylindrical
box with diaphragms and meter
dial.
After roughing the skin for a
proper electrical connection,
three flat, one-inch disks are
covered with jelly, taped with
masking tape to the chest , and
then clipped to wires from the
computer monitor, A belt is attached around the waist that

amp lifies the fai nt im pulses from
t he elect r odes and transmits
them to the computer.
The compu ter immediate ly beg i ~s monit oring body functions,
providing feedback on heart ra te
a nd blood pressure in digital
fashion and also producing an
e lectrocardiogram (ECG) tape,
the graph of heart activity as relayed through impu lses from the
electrodes, Heart and blood pressure often speed up during this
time, as the person watches the
dia ls, knowing he / she is "wired ,"
Blood pressure is taken manually
by the tester while the testee is at
rest.
Following an explanation of
what is going to happen, the
person ho lds onto the handrail
and steps upon the treadmill.
Beginning w ith a walking pace
at 10 % slope, the program be comes faster and steeper every
three minutes, By the third or
fourth phase it is necessary to
run, As each three minute phase
begins, fatigue from the previous
phases is accumulated, and fi nally at the point of maximum
stress (as determined by the per son being tested) the testee sig nals the operator to stop , and
holding the handrail, steps off,
As the body recovers, the blood
pressure is taken again. When
the monitor shows the pulse
down to 120, the electrodes can
be disconnected ,
A conditioning program is the
only way to significantly change
the results of this test, and a person'~ physical condition as well,
This machine can provide motivation to start a conditioning
program, It can also dramatically show the benefits of condi tioning when the test is taken re peatedly over a period of time
and the results are compared,
To take the treadmill test , sign
up at the "Exercise Testing
Room, " room 1064 in the Lab
Phase 1 Building, or contact Don
Humphrey ,

"Higher Ground," once Mcllwaine's all-out show opener, became a c hill ing dirge-like exercise
in textural phraseology, It is indeed difficult a t times to see how
one instrument can make all tha t
music. Mcllwaine herself remains
t he greatest screamer in contemporary music. She has three albums out (one a Canadian import) of which Hanky Tonk
Angel (Polydorj is probably the
best . They all make her look like
a sixties folk ie with long flow ing
hair, which may have something
to do with why she now sports
an "afro,"
Lau ra Nyro has a n incredibly
distinctive voice tha t once affected me like fingernails scratching a blackboard, Nyro rarely
speaks to an audience but never
loses their rap t attention, While
her ly rics are not always strong,
especially on social commentary,
her melodies and vocalization
are superb,
That is why I was disappointed
that so much emphasis was
placed on her band, that, with
the exception of bassist Richard
' Dav is, should have stayed in
New York. Davis played well in
that he understood his fum'tion
as a member of a back-up band
- even though he is an excellent
jazz composer with albums of his
own, Andy Newmark, the drummer, was to~lIy unnecessary as
was Minnie the conga-player.
The three horn - players, the
vibesman, and guitarist John
Tropea were blatantly offensive,
The horn-players, including two
women, fought constantly with

Nyro's vocals in an attempt to
obliterate any possible emotional
response, The vibes p layer started
out well but insisted on throwing
in wo rthless riffs ,
This brings us to Tropea, the
hotshot "jazz" guitarist who
shared the spotlight with Nyro
th roughout almost all of the concert. Not only did he not add
one good lick, he insisted on
throwing in show-off riffs in all
the wrong places. Nyro's best
songs from her "m iddle-period"
were thusly rendered impotent.

The song that gave me chills
was a new rend ition of New
York Tendaberry's "Sweet-lovin'
Baby" where Nyro changed the
line "I belong to the man " to "I
belong to myself. " "StMmy
Love" from Smile also stood 'Jut,
perhaps because it had been
written with the band in mind,
Both of these women deserve
better circumstances, Laura Nyro
desperately needs a band that
heightens the effect of her songs
rather than annihilating it. Ellen
Mcllwaine, an excellent interpreter of other's songs, needs an
audience that respects the art of
rock'n roll and has come to see
her wail.

Women Make Their Own Music

by John Foster
KAOS Music Director
Co ns idering the sexist nature
01 the recording industry it is
eas y to see why women would
have to and want to make their
own records.
O li l'i'l .'?ec o rds (P.O . Box
70237 , Los Angf'les , CA 90070)
is totally owned and run by
women. They have put out two
r(,cords thus far and distribute a
third . They are: Meg Christian
_ I Kll OW YOII Kllow , Cris Williams0n - Th e Changer and the
C I"lIl g cd, and Kay Gardner ' s
.IvI,)QII Circles on Urana. As
much as I respect their efforts I
ha \'(' reservations about the mu' ica l \'alue of all three. Kay
Cdrdner , a member of Lavender
/ , 111(, . a ppears to have the most
l11u <ical sense except when she
, ings, Her instrumental pieces
.H e c la ssically influe nced and

have a spiritual feel about them,
Meg Christian is raunchy and
gung ho and very popu lar be cause of it. Cris Williamson has
an intriguing voice that does not
necessarily work , The songs are
personal and as self- indulgent as
their male counterparts,
Redwood Records (565 Doolin
Canyo n Road, Ukiah, CA 95482)
made Holly Near's first three records wi th Jeff Langley , I can't
stand Holly Near and no longer
fee l gu ilty about it. However,
she is very popu lar around here
for some reason, and if you
haven't heard her I wou ld suggest finding out why,
The Womens Music Network
(Box 17 N,Y" N ,Y. 10014) put
out the infamous Lavender lane
Loves Women -- an unspectacular folk a lbum spouting lesbian

propaganda and singing some
nice old songs with lots of
spunk.

Virgo Rising - Songs of Sisterhood (Thunderbird Records,
1420 N, Virginia St .. Reno,
Nevada 89503) is exactly that.
Malv ina Reynolds (Schroder
M usic Peop le, 2027 Parker St.,
Berkeley, CA 94704) is an old
woman who writes and croaks
clever folk songs on topical subjects ,
Although I can see these records being of value to those
women who are freshwomen in
femi nism, I don' t th in k that's
wfto they reach, They reach the
smug, th ose who can nega te the
wo rth of men (as these records
tend to) in a single glare ,
The music is basicly drawn
from a pecu liarly white "folk"

form that is e litist in nature, Ah,
the basic problem, separating the
politics from the music. In these
few women's records I do see begin nings - and with beginnings
come possibilities - that are indeed encourag ing. Movements
are changing, To integrate is to
sell out. As one who was raised
to respect differences in people
and learn from them t he though t
t-hat a ll t hese women have
no thing to learn from 'men is indeed scary . I know I have much
to learn from them, I wou ld not
like to close myse lf off to an entire sex.
Not a ll women's records are
intended purely for women ,
Very few women composers
have received proper recognition,
T he Women's Movement is
changing that .

ENTERTAINMENT

Radio Canada regularly records works by Canad ian classical composers of either sex, Sister Nancy Fierro has a record
out called Premiere: Keyboard
Works by Women (Avant Records, 6331 Quebec Dr., Hollywood, CA 90068),
Betty Carte r is a fine jazz vocalist. She has made two albums
on her own label (Bet-Car Records, 117 Felix St., Brookly n,
N , y , 11217). Mary Lou Williams
is a brillian t jazz composer and
pia nis t w ho also has two LPs on
her la bel. (Mary Reco rds, P,O,
Box 32, N ,Y" N,Y , 10031),

A complete picture of a person 's physical condi tion cannot
be obtained at rest in the doctor's office . Doctors are finding
that a more accurate way to test
the body is while it is under
stress, in c~njunction with testing
before and after the stress is incurred . The computer programmed treadmill is considered
the most effective technique for
monitoring this process.
Don Humphrey is custodian ,
coordinator and operator trainer
for Evergreen's own $18,000
treadmill. Under a program developed by Dr. R. A, Bruce of
the University of Washington,
the treadmill has monitored and
he lped refer several hundred Evergren community members and
is helping in the treatment of approximate ly 50 Olympia area
heart patients, under the supervi sion of their doctors,
Although the test would cost
about $100 if done by a private
doctor , Evergreen's test is available free of charge,
The test , which increases the
speed and slope of the treadmill
in three minute increments for
up to 2'] minutes (which no one
has done on this machine), tests a
person to his l her maximum, The
test monitors aerobic capacity,
cardiovascular response, and the
balance of forces at the cell
membrane : essentially the body's
condition and ability to respond
to and recover from stress.
Equipment consists of a large
treadmill , and a computer that
programs both treadmill speed
and slope, and monitors body responses (including blood pressure, heart rate, and vital lung
capacity) up to the point of max imum stress,
What is produced by reaching
this point of maximum stress is a
chart of Functional Aerobic Capacity, actually an electrocardiogram (ECG), which, when com-

pared w ith the expected capacity
for a healthy person of the same
age and sex, show s Funct ional
Aerobic Impairment. The test in g
team prov ides interpreta tion of
these test resu lt s,
A healthy person's heart rate
will usually increase by 100 beats
and blood pressure by 50 - 60
mm of Hg . The body's abil ity to
recover after running is a lso indicative of the health of the circulatory system. If significant
impairment exists this could be a
sign of heart disease, All the
data is recorded on the ECG
tape w h ich the person being
tested can keep,
Taking the test requires an appointment lasting approximately
half an hour. It is important to
be on time because the procedure
can easily last over 30 minutes.
Come dressed to run and to have
elec trodes taped to your chest.
Bring shorts and tennis shoes ,
Women should wear a halter
top,
The individual to be tested
must sign an Informed Consent
cosigned by two witnesses, after
reading a six page information
sheet on the exercise testing , An
informational questionnaire also
must be completed, giving height ,
weight, age, time and contents of
last meal , whether the individual
is active or sedentary, and the
amount of rest the night before ,
The first test is for vital capac ity - how many cubic centimeters of air a person's lungs
can hold, This is measured by
emptying the lungs, taking a
deep breath, and exhaling as
fully as possible into a cylindrical
box with diaphragms and meter
dial.
After roughing the skin for a
proper electrical connection,
three flat, one-inch disks are
covered with jelly, taped with
masking tape to the chest , and
then clipped to wires from the
computer monitor, A belt is attached around the waist that

amp lifies the fai nt im pulses from
t he elect r odes and transmits
them to the computer.
The compu ter immediate ly beg i ~s monit oring body functions,
providing feedback on heart ra te
a nd blood pressure in digital
fashion and also producing an
e lectrocardiogram (ECG) tape,
the graph of heart activity as relayed through impu lses from the
electrodes, Heart and blood pressure often speed up during this
time, as the person watches the
dia ls, knowing he / she is "wired ,"
Blood pressure is taken manually
by the tester while the testee is at
rest.
Following an explanation of
what is going to happen, the
person ho lds onto the handrail
and steps upon the treadmill.
Beginning w ith a walking pace
at 10 % slope, the program be comes faster and steeper every
three minutes, By the third or
fourth phase it is necessary to
run, As each three minute phase
begins, fatigue from the previous
phases is accumulated, and fi nally at the point of maximum
stress (as determined by the per son being tested) the testee sig nals the operator to stop , and
holding the handrail, steps off,
As the body recovers, the blood
pressure is taken again. When
the monitor shows the pulse
down to 120, the electrodes can
be disconnected ,
A conditioning program is the
only way to significantly change
the results of this test, and a person'~ physical condition as well,
This machine can provide motivation to start a conditioning
program, It can also dramatically show the benefits of condi tioning when the test is taken re peatedly over a period of time
and the results are compared,
To take the treadmill test , sign
up at the "Exercise Testing
Room, " room 1064 in the Lab
Phase 1 Building, or contact Don
Humphrey ,

Last Wednesday evening I had
the p leasure and misfortune of
see ing Ellen Mcllwaine and topbilled La ura Nyro at the Opera
Hotise in Seattle, The audience
- sensi tive young people a ll fi led in q u iet ly awaiting t he
emergence of Laura,
Prompt ly at 8 : 30 Ellen McI1wa ine began the show with a
funky but essentia lly unexcit ing
version of the Isley Brothers'
" Fight the Power," Mcllwaine,
the daughter of M idwestern m issionaries, was raised in Japan
and later turned up on the West
Coast playing in a psychedelic
rock band, Deciding the band
cramped her style she plugged
her hollow guitar into a bass
amp and set out on her own,
The result is an eclectic display
of virtuosity on guitar and vo cals that has been known to get
an a udience on its feet screaming
for more.
The hefty Ms, McIlwaine whose influences include the
early Stax recordings of Sam and
Dave and Booker T. & the MGs,

The Living Catalog

Collegium - The Newest E\7ergreen Experience

yl Pegues
G ig Co nlHlission Coordinat or
by Chery l Pegues
Looki ng for something d ifferent to do this spring? If yo u're
o nE' of those lucky few w h o have
so me tim e on yo ur hands every
Sunda y - have we got a series
tor you. So put on yo ur cultura l
set of earpho nes, pop on some
Bach . and read o n.
When I decided to embark
upon th e production of something new and different for the
amusement of the Evergreen populat ion , I was faced with a sub ,t ant ia l dilemma . W hat's left?
INe have. or have Ilad, everyth il1g. I did n't even bother to
make a list o f wha t we'd had. In, tead, I endeavored to make a
li s! of the things we hadn 't had.
And in the choice between Andy
Wi ll ia ms. Billy Gra ham, and cl as-

sical mus ic, I chose class ica l mu S IC.

Classical mu sic , however, is
to ta lly undese rving of its pl ace
on tha t particu lar list. Why it always finds itself in league with
o ld lad ies, " lo nghairs , "
church, is beyond me .
m usic is easil y as vibrant,
lating, int e r esti ng , and
timeless and bea utiful
m usic on the m arket
Wh ich brings us to
IUM . I'm pretty
thinking of
because it ' s
yo u're going to
ou t of one great,
Eve rgreen happening. ' .
In an effort to really be differ ent , I've gathered a unique group
of performe rs with varied back -

g r o unds and approaches to
music. Each of them has succeeded in mastering the classic
design of music, and develop ing
a style of their own. And they're
not your usual string qu artets, or
wind ensembles, or choirs. Each
of them is a really different angle
in the otherwise spherical shape
of classical mu sic. And there is
an ethrTi,c and cultu ral factor.
Israel Moultrie is a black man.
Debb i Shorrock, and her accom panist Lisa Bergman are women.
A lbert o Rafols is of Spanish de scent. And the Northwest Brass
Quintet is tot a lly white, middleclass, anglo (in case anyone's
fee ling left out ). And above all,
each of them is a person, beyond
being a performer. Each Sunday's
program will include a "coffee
break, " e ithe r during the interor after the performance
we ca n talk with eac h of
e peopl e a nd sha re our
ideas on music,
whatever.
of these peopl!,!
experience, don't
performance be "never li ked piano"
or you don't get
. Attend the enand really get into the
depth of each of these areas ' of
musical ex cellence. I think you'll
be pleasantl y surprised. It's a
bea utiful happening. And something totally new to Evergreen.

by Catherine Riddell
This year the LIVING CATALOG is 90
minutes of sometimes very enterta ining,
always engrossing, color television somewhat like a home movie for Evergreeners.
In the past , most faculty have participated in the program and the end product
has been little used . Perhaps this is the
reason o nly 17 of 58 programs participated
this year.
Contrasted with last yea r's LIVING
CATALOG there a re not as many oncamera droll monologues . Slides are more
imaginative - no more slides of a stack
of books that so me program des igner proposes to read - and there are more slides.
Camera work is more visually pleasing
a nd interestin g, usin g a variety of angles
a nd d issolves . There are three direc tors
instead of o ne and a large volunteer crew,
so two cameras can be opera ted .
Pro ducti on of the show involved $500
in materials , and fo ur weeks of full time
work for the three student directors, Jack

Hoffman, Margie Knowles, and James
Moore, as well as Ken Wilhelm and
others in Media Production and Graphics.
Each segment involved many hours of
pre-production for slides, music, consultation , and script design.
Usually , 45 minutes of color studio time
was required to produce a 20 minute tape,
which finally was edited to under fiv e
minutes . Many people involved in the
production received no credit, but had the
exposure to the color studio which is
worthwhile and added a lot to the quality
of the production by their efforts.
According to Walker Allen, Registrar,
the LIVING CATALOG shows the persona lities and sty les of the Evergreen faculty, so it's the next best thing to meeting
them . The show ca n be run during the
summer for registering students if fac ulty
are no t on campus.
Once the expe nse of producing the film
is past, it ca n be shown limitlessly at rela tively little cost. Potentially this film can
be shown to an estimated 27,000 cable televisio n viewers as well as at the commun-

ity coll eges .
The pr o duc tion ha s som e inh e r e nt
flaws. It is difficult for facu lty to have
very concrete pla ns for studies still five
months away. Some facu lty are not used
to being on TV . A pause is longer and
much more pompous appearing than
could ever have been intended. Normally
articulate instructors and their students
suddenl y freeze and become tongue-tied .
Ho~ever, once a person' sits down in
fro nt of the show, he or she will probably
stay for the whole presentation . Joye Pesk in and a company of three students do
an undu lating medicine show hype on her
cure for Evergreen burn out - Chautauqua - "$2.95 at your Registrar. " Susie
Strasser sits informa ll y with students and
props (a steel desk) on stage spending five
minutes wondering what to say, perhaps
to demonstrate the collective process of
decision making.
Don Chan and another musician perform " Mercy, Mercy" to publicize his jazz
contract. The Environments program segment showed slides of the science equip ment at Evergreen. Other slides show Evergreen theater productions, Evergreen intern s in the field , scenes from the
U .S.S.R. and film footage of Japan.
The 17 segments show all different

modes of stud y. Au tobioKraphy and Po·
litica l Ecology are the two Basic Coorui ·
na ted Studies shown. The on ly participa t ·
ing Divisional Coordinated Stud y is the
Performing Arts Today program . Inter ·
mediate Coo rdinated Studies shown are
Chautauqua, Intermediate Humanities. \
Management and the Public Int eres t , Th('
Northwest Coast, Reso urces for Self -De - I
termination , and Russia - U . S. S. R. Th e
Roots o f Our Ro manticism and Environ ments are the o nly Advanced Coordinated
Studies who participated. Six Group Con tracts inv'o lved are Community Advocacy,
Th e Creative Jazz Musiciarl . Marxi sm .
The New Non-Fictional Prose . Religion ill
the Life of Human Groups , a nd Wri ting
and Thought . Cooperative Education pro duced the final segme nt .
Potentiall y the LIVING CATA LOG is a
powerful tool for explaining Evergreen to
prospective students. It is hoped that
more faculty coordinators wi ll put the ir
energy into it. There was a meeting of a ll
coordina tors yesterday to discu ss their in volvement in the LIVING CATALOG.
Possibly more faculty will cooperate .
The LIVING CATALOG will be shown
on campus from May 13 to 28 , four tim es
a day; 9, 12 noon , 4 and 7, on campu s
cable television .

Kormondy Responds to Firings
b y Curt Milton
Finding himself in the middle of the
controversy surrounding the non-renewals
of contracts for two Evergreen faculty
members, Vice President and Provost Ed
Kormondy says he would have preferred
th at the matter rema ined private.
" . . . I think personnel decisions are
personal decisions," says Kormondy in
reference to his ruling not to rehire faculty
members Medardo Delgado a nd Jim Martinez at the end of their three year contracts. "My preference would have been,
in the case of the article in the CPJ las t
week, not to have seen that in the paper. "
Kormondy doesn't deny the right of a
free press to. pub lish, but would rather
have ke pt the non-renewals from becoming a "public matter." The knowledge of
those non-renewals, the first at Evergreen,
has prompted community responses ranging from outright anger to a dignified "ho
hum. " T he two non - retentions have hit
Eve rgreen fac ulty o n the touchy point of
their job security, and many of them are
worried .
Facu lty who have not been informed by
April 15 that their contract isn' t going to
be renewed or haven' t been warned by
their dean' that there may be problems
ahead, don't have anything to worry
about, Kormondy says. " If they' re worried, maybe they ought to be . ... " he
adds.
Adding fuel to a smoldering fire among
the faculty is the famo us Evergreen rumor
mill, which can exaggerate almost any situation on campus. "Before I know it,"
chuckles Kormondy, "125 faculty members have supposedly resigned ."
The final voice in matters of contract
renewa l belongs to Kormondy . He confirmed that during Evergreen's five year
history , no faculty members have been
told that their contract would not be renewed. However, several have been advised that they were facing the prospect
of non-renewal unless their teaching abilities improved .
During the evalua tion process leading
to a renewal / non-renewal decision, Kormondy reads recommendations by all the
deans involved and has the opti08 of reviewing the faculty's portfolio. " ... Regardless of the recommendation of the
deans," Kormondy explained, "the pro-'

vost must reserve the right , since he does
"Jave the final authority as well as respon sihility , to question any recommenda tion
made by a dean or the deans."
Several reliable sources, including Dea n
Rudy Martin, have said that in the cases
of Delgado and Martinez, Kormondy ex ercised t"a t right and overrode the recom mendatio:ls of both Martin and Dean
Willie Parson to renew. Kormondy denies
that, saying, "No, tha t's not true . In one

instance the deans recommended non-re tention and in the other they recommended retention. That's why I'm saying
what I sa id . Th~ b urden is on me to re ject a recommendation for retention or
non -reten tion."
One well- in formed faculty member sa id
that "I t's common knowledge" that Ko rmondy overrode the two deans . Obv iously, misi nform ation is being passed
aro und by somebody .

Kormondy does ack now ledge, in a n at temp t to contro l th e rumors, tha t severa l
fac ulty have resigned fo r "pe rsona l or
p rofess ional reasons ." They include :
Nao mi Greenhut, le m Stepherson , Ed
Reyno lds , Karen Syverson, Cha rles Lyons
a nd D um i Maraire who is "being termi nated at the end of this year for violat ion
of the social co ntract ," according to Kor mondy .
