The new Wednesday Student Forum
met yesterday to discuss different mechanisms for disseminating campus information and soliCiting student involvement in
governance issues. Based on the assumption that "participa tion in gove rnance and
planning sho uld be an integral part of our
Evergreen experience," the forum is intended to serve as an informati onal liaison
between students and governance proc esses. To accomplish this objective, it
will provide students with a commun ications body (Student forum) "conducive to
decision-making activities," and consequently will enco urage student in vo lvement in decisions which affect them,
Essentially , the Student Forum will represent a "common space" for gove rnance,
through which issues can be exp lored and
discussed. It will utilize a grapevine approach in providing informat io n to programs through representatives and seminar delegates.
Discussion yes terday focused upon the
issue of represent a tion , as forum members
attempted to define to what degree they
should consider themselves as representa-

Campus StOrt

at ASH

Visiting the KAOS-FM studios
on the third floor of the College
Activities Building these days
can be a sobering experience.
KAOS staff workers and drones
bustle about with brows furrowed
in worry, their professional radio
cha tter often punctuated with
off-the-air giggles of nervousness
and genera l alienation , Sure,
they still joke : "This station is
so small we can only play 45's,"
says one, "I wouldn't say we're
poor, but we are getting CARE
packages from Korea," retorts
another, and "The only tape this
station can afford is masking,"
sm irks a third.
KAOS-FM is in frantic preparation for a non-stop, on-theair MARATHON to raise badlyneeded money to maintain and
improve the sta tion's programming and equipment. The MARATHON will begin at noon on
Friday, November 5, and will
continue 24 hours a day "until
we burn out sometime after midnight Sunday night." according
to Station Manager Carl L.

Cook. Fifteen hundred dollars is
the weekend goal, and in order
to lure listeners' money KAOS is
presenting "every form of live
music, including classical,"
throughout the MARATHON.
Further listener support is
hoped to be gained from big album giveaways, auctioning of
goods and services (including a
live sheep), radio theater, a special Saturday night showing of A
Star is Born in Lecture Hall One
(see Arts and Events column for '
further details), and live cableTV simulcasts of music from Evergreen's mini-studio, Artists
scheduled include Jorgen Kruse,
Cathy Cohen, David Boggs. Alchemy, the Peace. Bread, &
Land Band, and special surprise
guests on Saturday evening , Programming throughout the weekend will vary widely, as usual,
but KAOS is making an extra
effort to insure especially distinctive MARATHON sounds, from
the rarest 1950's singles of Kidd
Rhythm to recitations of strange
poetry and stories .

II

The Chautauqua coordinated studies sponsors weekly student performances on Fridays at noon in the Library lobby.
Guest "stars " are also invited. Opera singers Bill and Joan
Winden are this week 's stars.

If Evergreen's Plainview precinct had
decided the vote in this year's election.
Republican John Spellman would be governor and the nuclear safeguards initiative
would now be state law.
Other returns from the Thurston County
Elections Office show that Jimmy Carter
won the preSidential race in Evergreen's
precinct by almost a three to one margin ,
with 58 %. over President Gerald Ford's
21 %. As many expected, independent
candidate Eugene McCarthy made a hefty
showing at Evergreen with 11 % of the
vote in the Plainview precinct.
Plainview precinct encompasses the entire Evergreen campus, extending South to
Mud Bay Road and East to Kaiser Road .
It is bordered on the North and West by
Eld Inlet. ASH is not a part of Plainview
precinct.
Of the 454 voters who went to the poll
in this precinct, perhaps 50 % were Evergreen campus residences , and another
10 % to 15 % were off-campus Evergreen
students. Student Paul Fink. who drove
the Evergreen van that transported students to the polling place, said he took a
total of 96 people to vote. Student Larry
Mauksch of the Informatin Center estimated that 100 to 200 Evergreeners used
the Information Center to register to vote
this year .
If Evergreen had had its way the race
for governor clearly would have gone to
Republican John Spellman, who gar.nered
48 % of the Plainview vote, while statewide favorite Democrat Dixy Lee Ray
straggled behind with 32 %. This particular race was broken up into small pockets
of votes for third ' party candidates such as
Red Kelley of the Owl Party, with 6,6 %
of the vote, and Patricia A. Bethard of
the Socialist Worker's Party with 4.8 % .
It is likely that Plainview precinct vot ers. who elected 12 Democrats out of 15
races, steered away from gubernatorial
candidate Dixy -Lee Ray because of her
pro - nuclear power and supertanker5
stance, and her bolster-big- business atti·
tude towards the economy , Ray also received a blow to her chances in Ever-

green's precinct when th e press began
characterizing her as less than responsive
to women 's issues . According to a Seattle
newspaper. the State Women 's Pol itical
Caucus described Ray as "unfamiliar with
and unresponsive to" issues the caucus felt
were crucial to women, such as sex discrimination. affirmative action, and day
care.
Often running in third. and sometimes
second place, were the disqualified votes ,
These votes occurred when a person
punched more than one hole for a candidate or issue.
Over o ne hundred Plainview voters
punched out more than one hole when
voting for House Joint Resolution 64 , The
same problem occurred with State Treasurer, S tate Auditor, Supreme Court Judge
Position 4, Thurston County Commissioner and 22nd District Senator, All
double votes were invalidated .
An employee at the Thursto n Cou nty
Elections Office said he didn' t understand
how people manage to double-vote so frequently. "I don't understand how people
vote," he said, "We came across some
ballots that had every single hole punched
out, others that had every hole in the last
three columns punched. "
The third party candidates who pulled
in the most Plainview votes were from the
notorious Owl Party, created by Tum water restaurant owner Red Kelley and
friend·s.
Although Kelley himself made a poor
shOWing in his race for governor. the rest
of his Owl Party entourage overran the
second and third place categories in their
races. One candidate, Jack "the Ripoff"
Lemon, was first runner -up to Democrat
John Cherberg in the Lieutenant Governor
race. capturing 18.7 % of the vote to Cherberg's 39 .6%.
Owl candidate "Fast" Lucie Griswold
made a strong showing for third place
with 20.4 % of the vote in the Secretary
of State race against Republican winner
Bruce ChaFman. who received 33.7% of
Plainview's votes. Ruthie "Boom Boom"
McGinnis lost the State Treasurer race to
Democrat Robert O 'Br ien , 17 % to

51.3% ,
The Socialist Worker's Party ran a
steady fourth place in almost every race
they entered. U. S . Senate candidate Karl
Bermann attracted the most Plainview
votes for the party with 9.6% of thE vote .
Democrat incumbent Henry M. Jackson
received.47.7 % to win in this precinct.
In the Insurance Commissioner race,
Democrat incumbent Karl Herrmann ,
who was soundly beaten across the state,
lost to Republican challenger Richard Marquardt. 22 % to 37 %. In that race possible
Marquardt votes may have been lost to
Archie "Whiplash" Breslin of the Owl
Party, who received 14,9% of the Plainview vote.
In proposition contests Evergreen vot , ers gave overwhelming approval to Initia tive 325 , the nuclear safeg uard s act ,

which was strongly defeated in this state,
The Plainview vote was 70 .9 % "yes" and
25.4 % "no" - a lmost an exact turn around
of the vote statewide.
Referendum Bill 36 was the most popular prop osi tion in the Plainview precinct ,
where 81,4 % of th e voters agreed th at
certain appoin ted state officials shoul d be
bound by state public disclosu re laws.
Loca l races were a straight s hot for
Democrats in bo th Plainview precinct and
Thurston County. In Plainview Democrat
Mike Kre idl er o ut polled in cumbent Jo hn
Hendricks for State Representative by a
three to one margin . Republican Jer ry

COG ARTICLE NOT
STRONG ENOUGH
To the Editor:
Last week's article, "Demise of
the Sounding Board," was not
strong enough. The Geoboard
may take one of five votes: comment, confidence, no-confidence,
drop, and censure (read COG
III, this issue). These votes are
strong reactions to a decision,
group of decisions, or a· person
by the great majority of the Geoboard. That any issue could even
appear before the Geoboard
would first be determined by an
executive board whose function
is to determine the Board's
agenda. Hence, the board votes
on matters of concern. The CPJ
may have displayed an overly
simple attitude that COG may
consequently attract in the future.
C
Governance at TESC is a serious and effective business. That
people are afraid it is non-existent is largely a product of fear .
Fear comes from past experience.
We all have past experience to
justify fear, didactic dogma.
There are those who seem perpetually malcontent. They say
the administration is too powerful, the students are too apathet-

EVERGREEN
STUDENTS
APATHE"rIC
To the Editor:
One of the biggest problems
that exists at Evergreen is getting
students to attend meetings. Students at Evergreen seem very
apathetic about going to meetings yet each individual is ready
to complain if one does not get

one's requirements. When 1
students I mean majority
course there are exceptions).
A couple of meetings were
called by Stone Thomas and me
about next year's curriculum and
about the Asian Coalition budget. Only a few students showed
up. So Stone had to assume that
the courses offered for next year
for Third World studenfs were
agreeable to all.
The Asian Coalition has some
money for activities and a meeting was called for students to
suggest how to utilize the
money. And aga in only a few
students showed up . Most Asian
st udents fee l it is important to
make others aware of their position in this society, economically,
politically, and socially. And yet
when a chance is offered to
them , they do not take advantage of it/. This does not apply
only to Third World students it is true as far as any meetings
are concerned - such as Sounding Board, COG III, Board of
Trustees etc., etc. All I can say
FOLKS is that, opportunity never
knocks on your door. You have
to knock on opportunity's door.
By participating in these meetings you can know what you
have got and what you can get.
So let's take advantage of what
we have and learn to live fully
and deeply and without regrets.

CHIMPANZEES
DO IT
T a the Editor :

1 am sick and tired of the recent plague of articles on "natural" pregnancy care, childbirth,
breastfeeding, and so on. The
Cooper Point Journal's two articles on horne birth merely added
to this plague. Admittedly, these
practices have obvious advantages to the cold, clinical manner
in which the problems of women

are usually h~ndled by the medical profession.
BUT it seems that your hip
'''back to nature" trip is a throwback to pre-feminist days. Why
not have some articles which relate to the people's control of
technology rather than putting
down the technology itself, or
glorifying its bungling?
What if serious medical problems arise which require immediate sophisticated care? Why
shou ld any chance be taken on
the health of the mother and
child?
Let's instead explore modern
alt ernat ives to the present system
wh ich combine what is natural
with what is technological. Why
not , for examp le, have special
maternity "hospitals," villages of
homey cottages where a woman
and her family and friends (IF
she w ishes) can come for the
birth? The woman would feel
more at ease than in a hospital
with "sick people," but doctors
and equipment wou ld be available in case of an emergency.
Why should women become
pregnant at all? Why do they?
Let's cut the romantic, mystical
crap and face the fact that pregnancy IS uncomfortable, childbirth IS painful and that no
woman should feel guilty for not
wanting to be a "natural earth
mother." The glorif ication of
motherhood and childbirth is
complacent nonsense. Any idiot
can have a baby. Chimpanzees
do it all the time. Thousands of
stupid humans do it unintentionally every year.
And let's also cut the motherhood propaganda and explore
the insecurities and lack of foresight which cause many people
who should never have kids
under any circumstances to feel
important and egot istical enough
to present the overpopulated
world with yet another mouth to
feed.
Good Wishes,
Maurine Hoffman

Cruz Esquivel:
"Who is the teacher and who is the 'student?'"
by lisa Fleming
Cruz Esquivel is a member of the taculty whose lifestyle, background and beliefs are an integral part of how and what
he teaches.
Cruz was educated in the Jesuit mission
schools on the Colville Indian Reservation
here in Washington. He moved with his
family to different parts of the Western
states while growing up . He was drafted
into the Korean war, and upon returning
from it, went into a Jesuit seminary for
several years. He left the seminary, and
studied at U.c. a t Berkeley, and U.S.c.
Before coming to Evergreen, he taught at
U. C. at Davis and Humboldt State. His
education and teaching experience was in
classical and romance languages, philosophy and music composition.
Cruz is a member of the "contract pool"
this year for the first time.
''I've carried contracts in the past., but
that was in addition to the program I was
with, " said Cruz.
''I've been condemned by many faculty
in the past for taking contracts that are
too diversified," he said. "I enjoy that.
Who is the teacher and who is the student? Being a sponsor can be a learning
experience for me as a teacher."
'Tm interested in teaching mainly
things that are Native American. I can
utilize what I've learned in Western Philosophy and apply it to Native American
thinking."
An example of a program Cruz was involved in, and one that he considered to
be extremely important, was Squash blossom. The Squashblossom is regarded as a
symbol of hope in Native Americ-an culture. The coordinated studies program
Squash blossom was a community of people involved in the raising of an organic
garden, the produce of which was to be
distributed to the needy in the community.
Squashblossom was not just a course in
organic agriculture. Recognizing the needs
and problems of local Native Americans,
Cruz sought and was granted permission
of the Benedictine Monks at St. Martin's
College, to start the project on some unused acreage.
Squashblossom was to be an outreach
into the community. In the program they
hired 21 youths referred by the Neighborhood Youth Corps. The program was concerned with the problems of the aged, alcoholics, juvenile delinquents, and the
handicapped.
As Cruz explained the program in a
paper, it was an attempt to consolidate all
activities. He wrote: "At the farm we get
our exercise in the garden; it is also an

,
1

Cruz Esquivel
ancient form of meditation to pick weeds
and till the soil. Our philosophy is implicit in the action of producing and giving
away food to needy people and in the
process we produce food for ourselves."
Students were to teach others in their
special field of knowledge, and learn from
each other.
To balance out the academic portion of
the program, many workshops were held
on such topics as yoga, Native American
mythology, herbal medicine, poetry and
literature, all phases of organic gardening,
traditional Native American farming techniques, Sufi breathing, and many more.
Squash blossom overcame such obstacles
as distrust and misunderstandings by the
community. The farm produced food,
even though a plominent agricultural consultant of Thurston County said that food
could not be raised on the land unless it
was ploughed and allowed to lie fallow
for two years. Cruz called the program
"A total success."
Cruz has a deep interest in the problem
of alcoholism among Native Americans.
This concern has led him to write a book,
Alcoholism and the Native American

Spirit, which will come out in January.
Cruz calls his book a "philosophical treatise," and "an exposure of the rotten politics in alcoholism."
"Drinking is the Native American's
number one problem," said Cruz. "It's oppression by addiction .
"It's not that Indians have a stronger
proclivity to drinking, but they've been
oppressed more.
"The present treatment of alcoholism is
totally irrelevant to Indian people," he
said . "The system doesn't work for its
own people. If non-Indians can't solve
their alcoholism, we as Indian people
should be allowed to use our own traditional methods.
"Alcoholism affects everybody. The
essence of American medicine ought to
encompass the best of every culture."
Despite the severity of the alcoholism
problem, Cruz can see some good coming
out of it.
"Through self-determination, our poison can become our medicine," he said.
"1 hope the book can help in helping all
the tribes to realize we all have a common
denominator; our oppression. We have to

seek the answers. If we all begin to work,
then we can discover the first thing we all
agree on."
The book is also the. reason Cruz will
be receiving a Ph.D .
"It's really been a good experience, "
said Cruz. ''I'd never admitted I had any
proclivity for writing.
"I've discovered I am a writer."
Cruz gives much of the credit to his
sponsor, Jose Arguelles . Arguelles is a for mer faculty of Evergreen and is now at
Prin ceton, and a core facu lty member at
Union Graduate school.
"He's very knowledgeable about every thing Native American," said Cruz. "He's
been a big encouragement and has given
me a lot of inspiration."
The recent takeover of Cascadia by th e
Puyallup Indian tribe is regarded by many
people as an example of an attempt by
Native Americans to take power, includ ing the right to care for their sick , back
into their own hands.
When asked about this, Cruz replied, "[
th ink the takeover was justified , but it is
a precarious style. This style of confronta tion is dangerous ."
"It could have gone the other way. A
lot of heads could have been busted. "
A source of violence against Native
Americans and other segments of the population is the Boldt decision on Indian
fishing rights.
"The Boldt decision is a legal decision
that pits one segment of the population
against the other," said Cruz. "It's another
example of divide and conquer."
"We're totally deadlocked in the socalled name of treaty rights."
"There will be more Cascadias," he
said. "I do see the philosophy of confrontation as inevitable."
Cruz talked about Evergreen, and his
future .
"Evergreen has been remiss in failing to
examine in depth concerns of Native
American studies," he said. "Evergreen
ought to allow Native American communities to structure their own education, nol
me or Mary Hillaire or anybody else. "
Cruz thinks he will probably stay wit!
individual contracts.
"Everything I've proposed has bee
pretty well shot down," he said. "1 can
fight this system. I'm tired of it. I'll t
bouncing around where I'm needed ."
What else is in his future 1
''I'm going to be writing," said Cruz. "I
think that's the only way to address our
problems. Counseling and social work are
passe. The only way to reach a wider
audience is through the pen."

Two New Theatres to Open
by Stan Shore
No more long drives to Seattle, or tiresome treks to Tacoma for an eyeful of
Wertmuller, Truffaut or Bergman: A foreign film theatre is opening in Olympia.
in fact, two are opening.
Nancy Duncan's theatre on Sawyer
street was approved two weeks ago at a
seven-hour Board of Adjustment meeting
by a unanimous vote. At, least a dozen
Evergreen students were iri attendance to
show their support for the project, which
had become bogged down after opposition
from the Olympia City Commissioners.
In their arguments for or against the
theatre both sides were equally articulate,
and the Board , in discu ssing the reason
fo r their votes, seemed to have made up
their minds before the painfully long meeting . Bob Wheeler of Bob's Big Burgers in
Westside Olympia was an outspoken
member of the panel, and he joked more
than once about the Evergreeners in attendance at the meeting. With good humor, he chided Evergreen students for being "rowdy. "
The opponents of the theatre were less
kind to Evergreen, describing the large
number of Evergreen students who would
probably attend the theatre as an "invasion ."
Now that the last hurdle to approval
has been passed, Duncan is busily remod-

eling the theatre in preparation tor opening later this month. The theatre will be
similar to the Harvard Exit, and the Moviehouse, well-known Seattle theatres. In
fact, Duncan used to work for Randy Finley, the owner of the Moviehouse. Finley
appeared at the Board of Adjustment

meeting October 27 to defend Duncan's
proposed theatre.
When the theatre opens, if all goes according to plan, 168 people at a time
should be able to watch classic foreign
and American films , while downstairs
drinking coffee and munching pastries ,

others will b,' able to view Cinema . Right
here. In Olympia.
Meanwhile, as they say in comic books,
across town another plot is being hatched .
Weli , in this case, another theatre is being
hatched. Surprising as it might sound, an other foreign film / art theatre is being
planned for Olympia, not more th an a ki [ometer away from Nancy Duncan's Al though the film fare will be simila r, thi s
o ther thea tre is goin g to be smaller and
hou sed in a n even mo re peculiar building
than Duncan's renov a ted Baptist church .
The other th ea tre wil l be loca ted in a 50 ·
fo o t geodes ic d o me, made to sea t 125 peo ple in large, semi- recli ning sea ts.
While Dun ca n's thea tre was bese iged by
one pl ague aft er a no ther, thi s o th er th ea ·
tre was able to pa rt the seas of red tape
and get its rezo nin g a pprova l a nd buil d ing
permit with o ut a hass le .
Anoth er difference between the two th e atres will be the smell. Duncan 's thea tre
will smell of freshl y- brew ed coffee, po p co rn, and delica tely- baked pastries . But
this other thea tre w ill have one overwhelming smell: PIZZA .
That's right. Pizza. The fam o us Jo Mama's Pizza restaurant is expanding into a
restaurant and theatre . The geodesic d o me
is going to be built in the lot behind the
restaurant and there should be movi es
flickering in the pizza-fumed room before
the end of 1977.

COG ARTICLE NOT
STRONG ENOUGH
To the Editor:
Last week's article, "Demise of
the Sounding Board," was not
strong enough. The Geoboard
may take one of five votes: comment, confidence, no-confidence,
drop, and censure (read COG
III, this issue). These votes are
strong reactions to a decision,
group of decisions, or a· person
by the great majority of the Geoboard. That any issue could even
appear before the Geoboard
would first be determined by an
executive board whose function
is to determine the Board's
agenda. Hence, the board votes
on matters of concern. The CPJ
may have displayed an overly
simple attitude that COG may
consequently attract in the future.
C
Governance at TESC is a serious and effective business. That
people are afraid it is non-existent is largely a product of fear .
Fear comes from past experience.
We all have past experience to
justify fear, didactic dogma.
There are those who seem perpetually malcontent. They say
the administration is too powerful, the students are too apathet-

EVERGREEN
STUDENTS
APATHE"rIC
To the Editor:
One of the biggest problems
that exists at Evergreen is getting
students to attend meetings. Students at Evergreen seem very
apathetic about going to meetings yet each individual is ready
to complain if one does not get

one's requirements. When 1
students I mean majority
course there are exceptions).
A couple of meetings were
called by Stone Thomas and me
about next year's curriculum and
about the Asian Coalition budget. Only a few students showed
up. So Stone had to assume that
the courses offered for next year
for Third World studenfs were
agreeable to all.
The Asian Coalition has some
money for activities and a meeting was called for students to
suggest how to utilize the
money. And aga in only a few
students showed up . Most Asian
st udents fee l it is important to
make others aware of their position in this society, economically,
politically, and socially. And yet
when a chance is offered to
them , they do not take advantage of it/. This does not apply
only to Third World students it is true as far as any meetings
are concerned - such as Sounding Board, COG III, Board of
Trustees etc., etc. All I can say
FOLKS is that, opportunity never
knocks on your door. You have
to knock on opportunity's door.
By participating in these meetings you can know what you
have got and what you can get.
So let's take advantage of what
we have and learn to live fully
and deeply and without regrets.

CHIMPANZEES
DO IT
T a the Editor :

1 am sick and tired of the recent plague of articles on "natural" pregnancy care, childbirth,
breastfeeding, and so on. The
Cooper Point Journal's two articles on horne birth merely added
to this plague. Admittedly, these
practices have obvious advantages to the cold, clinical manner
in which the problems of women

are usually h~ndled by the medical profession.
BUT it seems that your hip
'''back to nature" trip is a throwback to pre-feminist days. Why
not have some articles which relate to the people's control of
technology rather than putting
down the technology itself, or
glorifying its bungling?
What if serious medical problems arise which require immediate sophisticated care? Why
shou ld any chance be taken on
the health of the mother and
child?
Let's instead explore modern
alt ernat ives to the present system
wh ich combine what is natural
with what is technological. Why
not , for examp le, have special
maternity "hospitals," villages of
homey cottages where a woman
and her family and friends (IF
she w ishes) can come for the
birth? The woman would feel
more at ease than in a hospital
with "sick people," but doctors
and equipment wou ld be available in case of an emergency.
Why should women become
pregnant at all? Why do they?
Let's cut the romantic, mystical
crap and face the fact that pregnancy IS uncomfortable, childbirth IS painful and that no
woman should feel guilty for not
wanting to be a "natural earth
mother." The glorif ication of
motherhood and childbirth is
complacent nonsense. Any idiot
can have a baby. Chimpanzees
do it all the time. Thousands of
stupid humans do it unintentionally every year.
And let's also cut the motherhood propaganda and explore
the insecurities and lack of foresight which cause many people
who should never have kids
under any circumstances to feel
important and egot istical enough
to present the overpopulated
world with yet another mouth to
feed.
Good Wishes,

Cruz Esquivel:
"Who is the teacher and who is the 'student?'"
by lisa Fleming
Cruz Esquivel is a member of the taculty whose lifestyle, background and beliefs are an integral part of how and what
he teaches.
Cruz was educated in the Jesuit mission
schools on the Colville Indian Reservation
here in Washington. He moved with his
family to different parts of the Western
states while growing up . He was drafted
into the Korean war, and upon returning
from it, went into a Jesuit seminary for
several years. He left the seminary, and
studied at U.c. a t Berkeley, and U.S.c.
Before coming to Evergreen, he taught at
U. C. at Davis and Humboldt State. His
education and teaching experience was in
classical and romance languages, philosophy and music composition.
Cruz is a member of the "contract pool"
this year for the first time.
''I've carried contracts in the past., but
that was in addition to the program I was
with, " said Cruz.
''I've been condemned by many faculty
in the past for taking contracts that are
too diversified," he said. "I enjoy that.
Who is the teacher and who is the student? Being a sponsor can be a learning
experience for me as a teacher."
'Tm interested in teaching mainly
things that are Native American. I can
utilize what I've learned in Western Philosophy and apply it to Native American
thinking."
An example of a program Cruz was involved in, and one that he considered to
be extremely important, was Squash blossom. The Squashblossom is regarded as a
symbol of hope in Native Americ-an culture. The coordinated studies program
Squash blossom was a community of people involved in the raising of an organic
garden, the produce of which was to be
distributed to the needy in the community.
Squashblossom was not just a course in
organic agriculture. Recognizing the needs
and problems of local Native Americans,
Cruz sought and was granted permission
of the Benedictine Monks at St. Martin's
College, to start the project on some unused acreage.
Squashblossom was to be an outreach
into the community. In the program they
hired 21 youths referred by the Neighborhood Youth Corps. The program was concerned with the problems of the aged, alcoholics, juvenile delinquents, and the
handicapped.
As Cruz explained the program in a
paper, it was an attempt to consolidate all
activities. He wrote: "At the farm we get
our exercise in the garden; it is also an

,
1

Cruz Esquivel
ancient form of meditation to pick weeds
and till the soil. Our philosophy is implicit in the action of producing and giving
away food to needy people and in the
process we produce food for ourselves."
Students were to teach others in their
special field of knowledge, and learn from
each other.
To balance out the academic portion of
the program, many workshops were held
on such topics as yoga, Native American
mythology, herbal medicine, poetry and
literature, all phases of organic gardening,
traditional Native American farming techniques, Sufi breathing, and many more.
Squash blossom overcame such obstacles
as distrust and misunderstandings by the
community. The farm produced food,
even though a plominent agricultural consultant of Thurston County said that food
could not be raised on the land unless it
was ploughed and allowed to lie fallow
for two years. Cruz called the program
"A total success."
Cruz has a deep interest in the problem
of alcoholism among Native Americans.
This concern has led him to write a book,
Alcoholism and the Native American

Spirit, which will come out in January.
Cruz calls his book a "philosophical treatise," and "an exposure of the rotten politics in alcoholism."
"Drinking is the Native American's
number one problem," said Cruz. "It's oppression by addiction .
"It's not that Indians have a stronger
proclivity to drinking, but they've been
oppressed more.
"The present treatment of alcoholism is
totally irrelevant to Indian people," he
said . "The system doesn't work for its
own people. If non-Indians can't solve
their alcoholism, we as Indian people
should be allowed to use our own traditional methods.
"Alcoholism affects everybody. The
essence of American medicine ought to
encompass the best of every culture."
Despite the severity of the alcoholism
problem, Cruz can see some good coming
out of it.
"Through self-determination, our poison can become our medicine," he said.
"1 hope the book can help in helping all
the tribes to realize we all have a common
denominator; our oppression. We have to

seek the answers. If we all begin to work,
then we can discover the first thing we all
agree on."
The book is also the. reason Cruz will
be receiving a Ph.D .
"It's really been a good experience, "
said Cruz. ''I'd never admitted I had any
proclivity for writing.
"I've discovered I am a writer."
Cruz gives much of the credit to his
sponsor, Jose Arguelles . Arguelles is a for mer faculty of Evergreen and is now at
Prin ceton, and a core facu lty member at
Union Graduate school.
"He's very knowledgeable about every thing Native American," said Cruz. "He's
been a big encouragement and has given
me a lot of inspiration."
The recent takeover of Cascadia by th e
Puyallup Indian tribe is regarded by many
people as an example of an attempt by

into their own hands.
When asked about this, Cruz replied, "[

Review: Experiment at Berkeley
by Aubrey Nixon

Many people entering the Evergreen
community (students, faculty and staff)
come with notions that this college is genuinely different from others - that students have the freedom to determine the
direction of their academic endeavors.

Our ideas about self-determination in
school , often frustrated in other institutions of learning, are given a chance to
develop and expand and bear fruit at Evergreen - or so we tend to believe reading the college catalog before we get here.
For many students, Evergreen delivers the
challenge and eventual satisfaction they

expected when they came. Other students
find their time here confusing in a vague
way, find themselves asking anyone who
will listen what is the educational theory
behind Evergreen, and is it working in
practice7
Joseph Tussman, director of the Experimental Program .at the University of Cal-

The Magnificent Men
in their Roaring Machines
by Jim Wright
The traditional collegiate practice of
criticizing the administration reaches an
all-time high level of refinement here at
Evergreen, where not even the Grounds
Ma intenance Department escapes the
withering scrutiny of cynical students, faculty and staff. In fact , Grounds Supervisor
Bill Kennedy feels that his department has
received more than its fair share recently.
Grounds Maintenance came under fire
early last summer for the pesticide-spraying of a week-choked drainage ditch ,
which killed several lupine flowers. Expl a ins Kennedy, "Two years ago, we
sprayed the ditch to kill the Alders. I got
my wrists slapped then. Last summer, I
fo rgo t - I pulled a big boo-boo and spotsprayed it again. " During this controversy,
a sign appeared over the ditch, proclaiming it to be the Schillinger Memorial Ditch
and posing the question , "Where Have
All the Lupines Gone? " (Jerry Schillinger
is the former director of the Facilities
Planning Office, of which Grounds Main'tenance is a part.)
Grounds personnel have since returned
the compliment by establishing the Herman Memorial Snag, named in honor of
Evergreen biology professor Steve Herman . The snag is 120 feet tall, is centerrotted , and leans out over the plaza parking loop at a 15 degree angle, according
to Kennedy.
Ever&reen has very little formal landscaping in comparison to its natural areas ,
acco rding to Director of F~ cilities

00

Bob
Strecker.
What
landscaping
has been done was done to provide a
" transition" from woods to rougher landscaping to campus itself, to avoid a "blunt
change" from one to the other, explains
Bill Kennedy. Strecker asserts that "Generally, the landscaping is in keeping with
the undeveloped area."
A controversial example of such "landscaping" is the recent spreading of bark
along the center median strips of campus
roads. This was done, says Kennedy, so
that newly planted shrubs would not be
strangled out by grasses and othe r weeds.

He said grasses become a problem in that
they become "hay-fields" if not mowed
frequently.
Grounds Maintenance receives an approximate $187,000 this year, which is
about 2.2 % of the total operating budget
of the college. Its responsibilities include
67 acres of blacktop, five miles of sidewalks, 12 miles of curbs, and an estimated
300 street lights, in addition to the actual
campus grounds themselves. The Grounds
crew is even charged with maintaining the
nature trail down to the beach. In sum,
"We' re responsible for anything that's not
hooked up to a building," says Kennedy.
Grounds does employ some loud, obnoxious, and seemingly ridiculous machines, including leaf blowers and vacuums, branch choppers, and sidewalk
sweeper machines. These machines are
"The easiest, quickest way," says Kennedy,
who adds that it would take six men with
rakes to do the work of one leaf-blowing
machine on the campus plaza, l}e' also
boasts that his Grounds crew -of-r$ix people are accomplishing work that would
supposedly require 26 people if figured according to the employment formula contained in Evergreen's Administrative
Code.
Meanwhile , the battle continues.
Grounds crew personnel continue to ponder the fate of 28 unplanted trees which
disappeared under mysterious circumstances last summer, only to appear in a
nearby resident's back yard weeks later .
What next7

Update: Hendricks and Kreidler

ifornia, has written a book entitled, "Experiment at Berkeley," published in 1969.
The book is a report of the experimental
lower-division program that began in the
fall of 1965 on the Berkeley campus . The
book has special meaning for Evergreeners, since it is the primary reading used
by the planning faculty of The Evergreen
State College back in 1969. The book is a
succinct review of the program designed
specifically for use during the first two
years of college,
The ~mphasis of the experimental program (and the major point where it differs
from most college courses) is upon spending a substantial amount of time studying
a few classical works of literature in depth.
Why, one might ask, study books written
several hundred years ago? What relevance can those books have to our life in
the 1970's? As Tussman says, " ... the
purpose of the first program is to lead the
student into a broad and sustained examination of the 'moral' dimensions of the
situation in which he and we find ourselves." Tussman feels this purpose best
served by deep study of classics. "Quite
simply," he says, "a classic escapes from
or transcends its generative context. It retains its intelligibility and significance
when it is taken out of context."
The curriculum of the Berkeley experiment includes reading of a common book
list, writing papers in response to those
books, seminar / discussion meetings, and
lectures about the books being studied.
Sound familiar, Evergreeners? It could be
a description of many basic coordinated
studies programs at Evergreen.
About his experimental program, Tuss man explains, "We try, as far as possible,
to avoid crisis, haste, and pressure. We
have eliminated a ll examinations and tests;
assignments are quantitatively light;
grades are effectively out of the picture."
He also notes, "What a pupil learns, if he
learns at all, is that the world does most
of the work, and that his job is to learn
how to cooperate with it ... "
The book is an excellent source of explanation for people who wonder where
Evergreen is coming from - and where
we could go from here.

The news story two weeks ago
o.n the race between John Hendncks and Mike Kreidler contamed an astonishing number of
factual errors and distortions

by Brad Pokorny
. Plans ~or a coffeehouse operatIng evenings on the lower floor
of the CAB building are Incubating in the minds of some students
and staff around campus. A desire for conversation, comfortable a~mosphere, some low-key
entertainment, and, of course
coffee, lurk as the motives for ~
loose aggregate of students who
hope to have a coffeehouse running in the SAGA foods area by
Thanksgiving.
"We'd like it to be a combination lounge and coffeehouse - a
place where people can come
and meet each other in the evening. A place to break from latenight study in the library," said
Rob Fellows, one of about 25
students working to get the coffeehouse started.
"It'll probably be located in
the back lunch room, the 'No
Smoking' section," said Kate A lbrecht, another student. "We
hope to paint it, move some
couches in, maybe bring in some
plants and tapestries, and make
it a nice place to be."
"It's rea.IlY hard to say exactly
what It Will be like yet. A lot of
things won't be decided until it
happens," voiced Fellows.
A meeting was held last week

• The Faith Center would like to
invite any persons interested in

Review: Experiment at Berkeley
by Aubrey Nixon

Many people entering the Evergreen
community (students, faculty and staff)
come with notions that this college is genuinely different from others - that students have the freedom to determine the
direction of their academic endeavors.

Our ideas about self-determination in
school , often frustrated in other institutions of learning, are given a chance to
develop and expand and bear fruit at Evergreen - or so we tend to believe reading the college catalog before we get here.
For many students, Evergreen delivers the
challenge and eventual satisfaction they

expected when they came. Other students
find their time here confusing in a vague
way, find themselves asking anyone who
will listen what is the educational theory
behind Evergreen, and is it working in
practice7
Joseph Tussman, director of the Experimental Program .at the University of Cal-

The Magnificent Men
in their Roaring Machines
by Jim Wright
The traditional collegiate practice of
criticizing the administration reaches an
all-time high level of refinement here at
Evergreen, where not even the Grounds
Ma intenance Department escapes the
withering scrutiny of cynical students, faculty and staff. In fact , Grounds Supervisor
Bill Kennedy feels that his department has
received more than its fair share recently.
Grounds Maintenance came under fire
early last summer for the pesticide-spraying of a week-choked drainage ditch ,
which killed several lupine flowers. Expl a ins Kennedy, "Two years ago, we
sprayed the ditch to kill the Alders. I got
my wrists slapped then. Last summer, I
fo rgo t - I pulled a big boo-boo and spotsprayed it again. " During this controversy,
a sign appeared over the ditch, proclaiming it to be the Schillinger Memorial Ditch
and posing the question , "Where Have
All the Lupines Gone? " (Jerry Schillinger
is the former director of the Facilities
Planning Office, of which Grounds Main'tenance is a part.)
Grounds personnel have since returned
the compliment by establishing the Herman Memorial Snag, named in honor of
Evergreen biology professor Steve Herman . The snag is 120 feet tall, is centerrotted , and leans out over the plaza parking loop at a 15 degree angle, according
to Kennedy.
Ever&reen has very little formal landscaping in comparison to its natural areas ,
acco rding to Director of F~ cilities

00

Bob
Strecker.
What
landscaping
has been done was done to provide a
" transition" from woods to rougher landscaping to campus itself, to avoid a "blunt
change" from one to the other, explains
Bill Kennedy. Strecker asserts that "Generally, the landscaping is in keeping with
the undeveloped area."
A controversial example of such "landscaping" is the recent spreading of bark
along the center median strips of campus
roads. This was done, says Kennedy, so
that newly planted shrubs would not be
strangled out by grasses and othe r weeds.

He said grasses become a problem in that
they become "hay-fields" if not mowed
frequently.
Grounds Maintenance receives an approximate $187,000 this year, which is
about 2.2 % of the total operating budget
of the college. Its responsibilities include
67 acres of blacktop, five miles of sidewalks, 12 miles of curbs, and an estimated
300 street lights, in addition to the actual
campus grounds themselves. The Grounds
crew is even charged with maintaining the
nature trail down to the beach. In sum,
"We' re responsible for anything that's not
hooked up to a building," says Kennedy.
Grounds does employ some loud, obnoxious, and seemingly ridiculous machines, including leaf blowers and vacuums, branch choppers, and sidewalk
sweeper machines. These machines are
"The easiest, quickest way," says Kennedy,
who adds that it would take six men with
rakes to do the work of one leaf-blowing
machine on the campus plaza, l}e' also
boasts that his Grounds crew -of-r$ix people are accomplishing work that would
supposedly require 26 people if figured according to the employment formula contained in Evergreen's Administrative
Code.
Meanwhile , the battle continues.
Grounds crew personnel continue to ponder the fate of 28 unplanted trees which
disappeared under mysterious circumstances last summer, only to appear in a
nearby resident's back yard weeks later .
What next7

Update: Hendricks and Kreidler

ifornia, has written a book entitled, "Experiment at Berkeley," published in 1969.
The book is a report of the experimental
lower-division program that began in the
fall of 1965 on the Berkeley campus . The
book has special meaning for Evergreeners, since it is the primary reading used
by the planning faculty of The Evergreen
State College back in 1969. The book is a
succinct review of the program designed
specifically for use during the first two
years of college,
The ~mphasis of the experimental program (and the major point where it differs
from most college courses) is upon spending a substantial amount of time studying
a few classical works of literature in depth.
Why, one might ask, study books written
several hundred years ago? What relevance can those books have to our life in
the 1970's? As Tussman says, " ... the
purpose of the first program is to lead the
student into a broad and sustained examination of the 'moral' dimensions of the
situation in which he and we find ourselves." Tussman feels this purpose best
served by deep study of classics. "Quite
simply," he says, "a classic escapes from
or transcends its generative context. It retains its intelligibility and significance
when it is taken out of context."
The curriculum of the Berkeley experiment includes reading of a common book
list, writing papers in response to those
books, seminar / discussion meetings, and
lectures about the books being studied.
Sound familiar, Evergreeners? It could be
a description of many basic coordinated
studies programs at Evergreen.
About his experimental program, Tuss man explains, "We try, as far as possible,
to avoid crisis, haste, and pressure. We
have eliminated a ll examinations and tests;
assignments are quantitatively light;
grades are effectively out of the picture."
He also notes, "What a pupil learns, if he
learns at all, is that the world does most
of the work, and that his job is to learn
how to cooperate with it ... "
The book is an excellent source of explanation for people who wonder where
Evergreen is coming from - and where
we could go from here.

The news story two weeks ago
o.n the race between John Hendncks and Mike Kreidler contamed an astonishing number of
factual errors and distortions

by Brad Pokorny
. Plans ~or a coffeehouse operatIng evenings on the lower floor
of the CAB building are Incubating in the minds of some students
and staff around campus. A desire for conversation, comfortable a~mosphere, some low-key
entertainment, and, of course
coffee, lurk as the motives for ~
loose aggregate of students who
hope to have a coffeehouse running in the SAGA foods area by
Thanksgiving.
"We'd like it to be a combination lounge and coffeehouse - a
place where people can come
and meet each other in the evening. A place to break from latenight study in the library," said
Rob Fellows, one of about 25
students working to get the coffeehouse started.
"It'll probably be located in
the back lunch room, the 'No
Smoking' section," said Kate A lbrecht, another student. "We
hope to paint it, move some
couches in, maybe bring in some
plants and tapestries, and make
it a nice place to be."
"It's rea.IlY hard to say exactly
what It Will be like yet. A lot of
things won't be decided until it
happens," voiced Fellows.
A meeting was held last week

• The Faith Center would like to
invite any persons interested in
exploring spirituality through
sack lunch discussions to join us
Thursdays in Lib 3227 at noon.
Presen tly we are exploring life
through story. Telling one's

by i(iroy Olson
This is the second year for the
Center For Literature In Performance. Last year its title was The
Center For Poetry In Performance, but it still provides essentially the same function. The
only difference is the focus of
readings has expanded to include
writers of prose as well as of poetry. This expansion is good, because it gives the Center a
chance to bring in a greater variety of authors, and also because
the Evergreen community will
have the chance to experience
more varied forms of literature.
Last year I wondered why the
Center's Coordinator, Bill Taylor, did not bring in peop le like
Allen Ginsberg or John Ashbery,
two poets whose work is very
good and who I wou ld really appreciate being able to hear. So I
asked Bill, and he told me. The
Center For Literature In Performance has been given $2,800
to bring in a uthors for the school
year 1976-1977. Allen Ginsberg
wou ld cos t one-half of that. So
instead of bringing in famous
names 'fike Ginsberg, Bill Taylor
is interested in finding quality
w riters of prose and poetry who
live in the Northwest. One famous writer that he has contacted

by Matt Groening
This is the second of two articles exploring some of the topics
dealt with in Susan Brownmiller's Against Our Will: Men,
Women and Rape (Bantam
Books paperback, 541 pages,
$2.75).
It is genera lly agreed among
experts in the subject - including victims, police officers, psychiatrists, and feminists - that
rape is not really a crime of sex,
but a crime of aggression. It is
commonly a brief expression of
physical intimidation, and the
forced sex is only another weapon . used to humiliate, degrade,
defile, and gain mastery . Susan
Brownmiller in Against Our Will
shows that contempt for women
is the main attitude in the rapist
mentality, and that all rape is an
exercise in power. "Women are
trained to be rape victims, " she
wr it es. "To simply learn the
word 'rape' is to take instruction
in the power relationship between
males and females ."
Brownmiller believes the historical fact of rape is augmented
by cultural indoctrination on all
levels, starting in infancy, and
resulting in the rapist and victim
mentalities. Fairy tales, she
points out, are full of catastrophes which seem to befall only
littl e girls. Little Red Riding
Hood, for example, is a parable
of rape. The message· is simple:
Stick close to the path, don't be
adventurous . Evil lurks in the
woods . Struggle is useless. If you
are lucky, a good, friendly male
may be able to help you . From
such mild stories a whole series
of distorted myths of rape have
been formed. The most basic of
these are :
"ALL WOMEN WANT TO
BE RAPED"
"NO WOMAN CAN BE
RAPED AGAINST HER WILL"
"SHE WAS ASKING FOR IT"
"IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE
RAPED, YOU MIGHT AS
WELL RELAX AND ENJOY IT "

KAOS Entertainment
Extravaganza Coming

Brownmiller dismisses the notion that "all women want to be
raped" by saying it is a belief in
the supreme rightness of male
power: because rape is done in
the name of masculinity, some
men and women have been led
to believe women want it done
to them, in the name of femininity. This is further boosted by
the claim that "No woman can
be raped against her will," or as
Balzac put it, "You can't thread
a moving needle." The implications of this are belied by the estimated 400 rape-murders per
year in the U .S., and the large
percentage of gang rapes found
in many crime studies' statistics.
"She was asking for it" is a
particularly cruel reaction of the
smug and thoughtless because it

The Power of Rape

~

''R4~

Recovering from its recent
weekend Mini-Marathon which
raised $709, KAOS-FM is now
planning a BIG BENEFIT PARTY
to take place on Monday, November 15, at Captain Coyote's,
a local tavern.
.
Musicians scheduled to perform (all of whom have freely
donated their services) include:
FIRST LIGHT, a five-person jazz
group, with vibraphone; JAMIE
HOLLAND, a female jazz vocalist from Seattle; BRIAN BUTLER. a folk / blues guitarist;
MOONLI T E RIDE, a countryrock band; and OBRADOR. a
seven-member Latin/jazz/funk
group.
KAOS-FM staff members said
the last time KAOS had a benefit at Captain Coyote's (May,
1974), they had to close the
doors within a half-hour because
the tavern was filled to capacity.
They expect thi& benefit to be
equally successful. "We have to
be successful:' one staff member
lamented. "This station is so
small all we can play are 45's."
In the general delirium and exhaustion from last weekend's
marathon, KAOS workers often
don't even realize they are repeating jokes tl}at have been .

victim . The belief that women
"tease" or seduce men into rape
through immodest behavior
dress, or looks is popular, but
again the evidence shows otherwise. The ages of rape victims in
a study of the Washington D.C.
General Hospital ranged from 15
months to 82 years, and inter views with rapists give further
evidence that the act is a show
of power, not merely a triggering
of lust.
The last maxim, "If you're going to be raped, you might as
well relax and enjoy it," is a trivialization of the trauma and violence accompanied by rape. It is
predicated on the ' ugly assumption of the ineVitability of male
triumph; and leads us back to
the first idea: "All women want
to be raped."
Brownmiller describes" the AIlAmerican rapist" as a 19-yearold lower class or ghetto male by
relying on the FBI's Uniform
Crime Reports. Sixty-one percent are under the age of 25; the
largest concentration are in the
16-to-24-year age range. According to the FBI, 51 percent are
white, 47 percent are black
and "all other races comprised
the remainder." Statistics show
that most of those who engage in
extreme criminal v iolence (murder, assault, rape, and robbery)
come from the lower socioeconomic classes. "Because of their
historic oppression," Brownmiller
wri.tes, "the majority of black
people are contained within the
lower socioeconomic classes and
contribute to crimes of violence
in numbers disproportionate to
their population ratio but not
disproportionate to their position
on the economic ladder."
Brownmiller explains the prevalence of the lower social classes
in violent crime with the self-admittedly oversimplified theory
that within the dominant value
system of our culture a subculture of the poor and black exists,
and its values run counter to the
people in charge. "The dominant
culture can operate within the
laws of civility," she says, "because it has little need to resort
_to violence to get what it wants.

ticulate and angry, is quick to

Particularly for young males."
Some rapists have an edge that
is more than physical. They operate within an institutionalized
setting and put the power of the
institution they represent behind
them to coerce their victims psycho
ogically and emotionally into
what amounts to a slightly more
subtle rape. The hierarchical , authoritarian structure of many institutions helps foster a dependent relationship in which a victim can be confused a nd manipulated. In recent years the problem of the therapist "seducing"
and rap in g his patients has become notorious, but the same
dangerous potential exists in any
professional / client
relationship
and should be investigated more
carefully. On Monday,· November 8, a federal judge ruled that
sexua l coercion of employees by
their employers must be prosecuted under extortion laws rather
than the Civil Rights Act, mainly
because the courts would be
swamped with complaints if the
laws were opened up. Colleges
and other educational institutions
are also full of sexual manipulation which are rarely prosecuted
except in extreme cases. (The
ethics and problems of student /
faculty sexual relationships at
Evergreen will be explored in an
upcoming issue of the Cooper
Point Journal.)
Brownmiller ends her deprl!ssing history of rape with a chapter called "Women Fight Back."
She documents the backwards
rape laws still on the books in
most states, which in effect place
the female victim on trial for her
own morality instead of dealing
with the crime itself. Brownmiller suggests a simple, genderfree, non-activity-specific law
governing all types of sexual assaults as a first step in reform.
She believes prison sentences are
good retributive justice, but
draws the line at the slogan "Castrate Rapists," as some feminists
and certain conservatives, including Billy Graham, have recommended. Sentences ranging from
six months to 20 years, depend ing on the severity of the crime,
seem fair to Brownmiller, who
notes at present that the average
jail sentence of the convicted
rapist is 44 months. She ' also
condemns anti-woman pornography, particularly as exemplified by the movies Straw Dogs
and A Clockwork Orange, but
her solutions in this area are unclear.
Brownmiller ends her book on
a note of optimistic individual
strength. "I learned how to fight
dirty," she brags, "and I learned
that I loved it." She comments
on "the metaphysical justice" in
the vulnerable anatomical placement of the male sex organ, passing on the suggestion of her selfdefense class for what to do
when threatened: "Kick him in
the balls, it's your best maneu ver."
Brownmiller understands that
rape cannot be wiped out or controlled on an individual basis.
She says, " the approach must be
long-range and cooperative, and
must have the understanding and
good will of m:my men as well
as women.
"My purpose in this book has
been to give rape its history ,"
she d:mclud.es . "Now we must
deny it a future. "

by Matt Groening
This is the second of two articles exploring some of the topics
dealt with in Susan Brownmiller's Against Our Will: Men,
Women and Rape (Bantam
Books paperback, 541 pages,
$2.75).
It is genera lly agreed among
experts in the subject - including victims, police officers, psychiatrists, and feminists - that
rape is not really a crime of sex,
but a crime of aggression. It is
commonly a brief expression of
physical intimidation, and the
forced sex is only another weapon . used to humiliate, degrade,
defile, and gain mastery . Susan
Brownmiller in Against Our Will
shows that contempt for women
is the main attitude in the rapist
mentality, and that all rape is an
exercise in power. "Women are
trained to be rape victims, " she
wr it es. "To simply learn the
word 'rape' is to take instruction
in the power relationship between
males and females ."
Brownmiller believes the historical fact of rape is augmented
by cultural indoctrination on all
levels, starting in infancy, and
resulting in the rapist and victim
mentalities. Fairy tales, she
points out, are full of catastrophes which seem to befall only
littl e girls. Little Red Riding
Hood, for example, is a parable
of rape. The message· is simple:
Stick close to the path, don't be
adventurous . Evil lurks in the
woods . Struggle is useless. If you
are lucky, a good, friendly male
may be able to help you . From
such mild stories a whole series
of distorted myths of rape have
been formed. The most basic of
these are :
"ALL WOMEN WANT TO
BE RAPED"
"NO WOMAN CAN BE
RAPED AGAINST HER WILL"
"SHE WAS ASKING FOR IT"
"IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE
RAPED, YOU MIGHT AS
WELL RELAX AND ENJOY IT "

KAOS Entertainment
Extravaganza Coming

Brownmiller dismisses the notion that "all women want to be
raped" by saying it is a belief in
the supreme rightness of male
power: because rape is done in
the name of masculinity, some
men and women have been led
to believe women want it done
to them, in the name of femininity. This is further boosted by
the claim that "No woman can
be raped against her will," or as
Balzac put it, "You can't thread
a moving needle." The implications of this are belied by the estimated 400 rape-murders per
year in the U .S., and the large
percentage of gang rapes found
in many crime studies' statistics.
"She was asking for it" is a
particularly cruel reaction of the

The Power of Rape

~

''R4~

Recovering from its recent
weekend Mini-Marathon which
raised $709, KAOS-FM is now
planning a BIG BENEFIT PARTY
to take place on Monday, November 15, at Captain Coyote's,
a local tavern.
.
Musicians scheduled to perform (all of whom have freely
donated their services) include:
FIRST LIGHT, a five-person jazz
group, with vibraphone; JAMIE
HOLLAND, a female jazz vocalist from Seattle; BRIAN BUTLER. a folk / blues guitarist;
MOONLI T E RIDE, a countryrock band; and OBRADOR. a
seven-member Latin/jazz/funk
group.
KAOS-FM staff members said
the last time KAOS had a benefit at Captain Coyote's (May,
1974), they had to close the
doors within a half-hour because
the tavern was filled to capacity.
They expect thi& benefit to be
equally successful. "We have to
be successful:' one staff member
lamented. "This station is so
small all we can play are 45's."
In the general delirium and exhaustion from last weekend's
marathon, KAOS workers often
don't even realize they are repeating jokes tl}at have been .

victim . The belief that women
"tease" or seduce men into rape
through immodest behavior
dress, or looks is popular, but
again the evidence shows otherwise. The ages of rape victims in
a study of the Washington D.C.
General Hospital ranged from 15
months to 82 years, and inter views with rapists give further
evidence that the act is a show
of power, not merely a triggering
of lust.
The last maxim, "If you're going to be raped, you might as
well relax and enjoy it," is a trivialization of the trauma and violence accompanied by rape. It is
predicated on the ' ugly assumption of the ineVitability of male
triumph; and leads us back to
the first idea: "All women want
to be raped."
Brownmiller describes" the AIlAmerican rapist" as a 19-yearold lower class or ghetto male by
relying on the FBI's Uniform
Crime Reports. Sixty-one percent are under the age of 25; the
largest concentration are in the
16-to-24-year age range. According to the FBI, 51 percent are
white, 47 percent are black
and "all other races comprised
the remainder." Statistics show
that most of those who engage in
extreme criminal v iolence (murder, assault, rape, and robbery)
come from the lower socioeconomic classes. "Because of their
historic oppression," Brownmiller
wri.tes, "the majority of black
people are contained within the
lower socioeconomic classes and
contribute to crimes of violence
in numbers disproportionate to
their population ratio but not
disproportionate to their position
on the economic ladder."
Brownmiller explains the prevalence of the lower social classes
in violent crime with the self-admittedly oversimplified theory
that within the dominant value
system of our culture a subculture of the poor and black exists,
and its values run counter to the
people in charge. "The dominant
culture can operate within the
laws of civility," she says, "because it has little need to resort
_to violence to get what it wants.
; The subculture, thwarted, inar-

ticulate and angry, is quick to
resort to violence; indeed, violence and physical aggression become a common way of life.
Particularly for young males."
Some rapists have an edge that
is more than physical. They operate within an institutionalized
setting and put the power of the
institution they represent behind
them to coerce their victims psycho
ogically and emotionally into
what amounts to a slightly more
subtle rape. The hierarchical , authoritarian structure of many institutions helps foster a dependent relationship in which a victim can be confused a nd manipulated. In recent years the problem of the therapist "seducing"
and rap in g his patients has become notorious, but the same
dangerous potential exists in any
professional / client
relationship
and should be investigated more
carefully. On Monday,· November 8, a federal judge ruled that
sexua l coercion of employees by
their employers must be prosecuted under extortion laws rather
than the Civil Rights Act, mainly
because the courts would be
swamped with complaints if the
laws were opened up. Colleges
and other educational institutions
are also full of sexual manipulation which are rarely prosecuted
except in extreme cases. (The
ethics and problems of student /
faculty sexual relationships at
Evergreen will be explored in an
upcoming issue of the Cooper
Point Journal.)
Brownmiller ends her deprl!ssing history of rape with a chapter called "Women Fight Back."
She documents the backwards
rape laws still on the books in
most states, which in effect place
the female victim on trial for her
own morality instead of dealing
with the crime itself. Brownmiller suggests a simple, genderfree, non-activity-specific law
governing all types of sexual assaults as a first step in reform.
She believes prison sentences are
good retributive justice, but
draws the line at the slogan "Castrate Rapists," as some feminists
and certain conservatives, including Billy Graham, have recommended. Sentences ranging from
six months to 20 years, depend ing on the severity of the crime,
seem fair to Brownmiller, who
notes at present that the average
jail sentence of the convicted
rapist is 44 months. She ' also
condemns anti-woman pornography, particularly as exemplified by the movies Straw Dogs
and A Clockwork Orange, but
her solutions in this area are unclear.
Brownmiller ends her book on
a note of optimistic individual
strength. "I learned how to fight
dirty," she brags, "and I learned
that I loved it." She comments
on "the metaphysical justice" in
the vulnerable anatomical placement of the male sex organ, passing on the suggestion of her selfdefense class for what to do
when threatened: "Kick him in
the balls, it's your best maneu ver."
Brownmiller understands that
rape cannot be wiped out or controlled on an individual basis.
She says, " the approach must be
long-range and cooperative, and
must have the understanding and
good will of m:my men as well
as women.
"My purpose in this book has
been to give rape its history ,"
she d:mclud.es . "Now we must
deny it a future. "

The new Wednesday Student Forum
met yesterday to discuss different mechanisms for disseminating campus information and soliCiting student involvement in
governance issues. Based on the assumption that "participa tion in gove rnance and
planning sho uld be an integral part of our
Evergreen experience," the forum is intended to serve as an informati onal liaison
between students and governance proc esses. To accomplish this objective, it
will provide students with a commun ications body (Student forum) "conducive to
decision-making activities," and consequently will enco urage student in vo lvement in decisions which affect them,
Essentially , the Student Forum will represent a "common space" for gove rnance,
through which issues can be exp lored and
discussed. It will utilize a grapevine approach in providing informat io n to programs through representatives and seminar delegates.
Discussion yes terday focused upon the
issue of represent a tion , as forum members

so small we can only play 45's,"
says one, "I wouldn't say we're
poor, but we are getting CARE
packages from Korea," retorts
another, and "The only tape this
station can afford is masking,"
sm irks a third.
KAOS-FM is in frantic preparation for a non-stop, on-theair MARATHON to raise badlyneeded money to maintain and
improve the sta tion's programming and equipment. The MARATHON will begin at noon on
Friday, November 5, and will
continue 24 hours a day "until
we burn out sometime after midnight Sunday night." according
to Station Manager Carl L.

Cook. Fifteen hundred dollars is
the weekend goal, and in order
to lure listeners' money KAOS is
presenting "every form of live
music, including classical,"
throughout the MARATHON.
Further listener support is
hoped to be gained from big album giveaways, auctioning of
goods and services (including a
live sheep), radio theater, a special Saturday night showing of A
Star is Born in Lecture Hall One
(see Arts and Events column for '
further details), and live cableTV simulcasts of music from Evergreen's mini-studio, Artists
scheduled include Jorgen Kruse,
Cathy Cohen, David Boggs. Alchemy, the Peace. Bread, &
Land Band, and special surprise
guests on Saturday evening , Programming throughout the weekend will vary widely, as usual,
but KAOS is making an extra
effort to insure especially distinctive MARATHON sounds, from
the rarest 1950's singles of Kidd
Rhythm to recitations of strange
poetry and stories .

If Evergreen's Plainview precinct had
decided the vote in this year's election.
Republican John Spellman would be governor and the nuclear safeguards initiative
would now be state law.
Other returns from the Thurston County
Elections Office show that Jimmy Carter
won the preSidential race in Evergreen's
precinct by almost a three to one margin ,
with 58 %. over President Gerald Ford's
21 %. As many expected, independent
candidate Eugene McCarthy made a hefty
showing at Evergreen with 11 % of the
vote in the Plainview precinct.
Plainview precinct encompasses the entire Evergreen campus, extending South to
Mud Bay Road and East to Kaiser Road .
It is bordered on the North and West by
Eld Inlet. ASH is not a part of Plainview
precinct.
Of the 454 voters who went to the poll
in this precinct, perhaps 50 % were Evergreen campus residences , and another
10 % to 15 % were off-campus Evergreen
students. Student Paul Fink. who drove
the Evergreen van that transported students to the polling place, said he took a
total of 96 people to vote. Student Larry
Mauksch of the Informatin Center estimated that 100 to 200 Evergreeners used
the Information Center to register to vote
this year .
If Evergreen had had its way the race
for governor clearly would have gone to
Republican John Spellman, who gar.nered
48 % of the Plainview vote, while statewide favorite Democrat Dixy Lee Ray
straggled behind with 32 %. This particular race was broken up into small pockets
of votes for third ' party candidates such as
Red Kelley of the Owl Party, with 6,6 %
of the vote, and Patricia A. Bethard of
the Socialist Worker's Party with 4.8 % .
It is likely that Plainview precinct vot ers. who elected 12 Democrats out of 15
races, steered away from gubernatorial
candidate Dixy -Lee Ray because of her
pro - nuclear power and supertanker5
stance, and her bolster-big- business atti·
tude towards the economy , Ray also received a blow to her chances in Ever-

green's precinct when th e press began
characterizing her as less than responsive
to women 's issues . According to a Seattle
newspaper. the State Women 's Pol itical
Caucus described Ray as "unfamiliar with
and unresponsive to" issues the caucus felt
were crucial to women, such as sex discrimination. affirmative action, and day
care.
Often running in third. and sometimes
second place, were the disqualified votes ,
These votes occurred when a person
punched more than one hole for a candidate or issue.
Over o ne hundred Plainview voters
punched out more than one hole when
voting for House Joint Resolution 64 , The
same problem occurred with State Treasurer, S tate Auditor, Supreme Court Judge
Position 4, Thurston County Commissioner and 22nd District Senator, All
double votes were invalidated .
An employee at the Thursto n Cou nty
Elections Office said he didn' t understand
how people manage to double-vote so frequently. "I don't understand how people
vote," he said, "We came across some
ballots that had every single hole punched
out, others that had every hole in the last
three columns punched. "
The third party candidates who pulled
in the most Plainview votes were from the
notorious Owl Party, created by Tum water restaurant owner Red Kelley and
friend·s.
Although Kelley himself made a poor
shOWing in his race for governor. the rest
of his Owl Party entourage overran the
second and third place categories in their
races. One candidate, Jack "the Ripoff"
Lemon, was first runner -up to Democrat
John Cherberg in the Lieutenant Governor
race. capturing 18.7 % of the vote to Cherberg's 39 .6%.
Owl candidate "Fast" Lucie Griswold
made a strong showing for third place
with 20.4 % of the vote in the Secretary
of State race against Republican winner
Bruce ChaFman. who received 33.7% of
Plainview's votes. Ruthie "Boom Boom"
McGinnis lost the State Treasurer race to
Democrat Robert O 'Br ien , 17 % to

51.3% ,
The Socialist Worker's Party ran a
steady fourth place in almost every race
they entered. U. S . Senate candidate Karl
Bermann attracted the most Plainview
votes for the party with 9.6% of thE vote .
Democrat incumbent Henry M. Jackson
received.47.7 % to win in this precinct.
In the Insurance Commissioner race,
Democrat incumbent Karl Herrmann ,
who was soundly beaten across the state,
lost to Republican challenger Richard Marquardt. 22 % to 37 %. In that race possible
Marquardt votes may have been lost to
Archie "Whiplash" Breslin of the Owl
Party, who received 14,9% of the Plainview vote.
In proposition contests Evergreen vot , ers gave overwhelming approval to Initia tive 325 , the nuclear safeg uard s act ,

which was strongly defeated in this state,
The Plainview vote was 70 .9 % "yes" and
25.4 % "no" - a lmost an exact turn around
of the vote statewide.
Referendum Bill 36 was the most popular prop osi tion in the Plainview precinct ,
where 81,4 % of th e voters agreed th at
certain appoin ted state officials shoul d be
bound by state public disclosu re laws.
Loca l races were a straight s hot for
Democrats in bo th Plainview precinct and
Thurston County. In Plainview Democrat
Mike Kre idl er o ut polled in cumbent Jo hn
Hendricks for State Representative by a
three to one margin . Republican Jer ry
Gray lost by o nly seven perce nt age poinh
to Democrat Ron Keller. a nd :Jemocrah
