Baker said that ASH seeks to comply
with the act regardless of whether or not
they are banned by law.
According to Administrative Aid, leanne
Chandler, and Rebec ca Wright, Evergreen

ASH has no legally binding agree ments

1his is the first of a two-part series on

Baker didn't think it was unusual as
Evergreen is not a party to the agreement.
Rally Appeals for
EI Salvador
l3y Pat O'Hare
Approximately 50 people lined up along
Capitol Way between Legion and 8th at
noon on Tuesday to protest President
Reagan's decision to send $55 million in
additional mil.itary aid to EI Salvador. The
protestors distributed leaflets and carried
signs such as: "Another Viet Nam" arid
" 55 million equals more death."
At 12:30, several people left the piCketing to begin a 48-hour hunger protest on
the steps of the State Capitol. lara McIntosh, one of the participants, explained
that the fast is a symboliC way of letting
people know there's hunger in EI Salvador
and to point out the contradiction between severe domestic budget cuts and
increased military aid to another country.
President Reagan has recently announced that he plans to send $55 million
in emergency military aid to EI Salvador
in addition to the $26 million Congress
has already approved.

ba.nldng with The Excha.nge C8.rd (over 48 loca.t1ons in
a.nd soon nationwide).
Protect
Phoenix Properties (based in Oregon)
manages the complex and the present
managers, Larry and Susan Freimark, are
employees of that company .
Phoenix Properties District Manager,
Robert Baker, said that ASH contracted to
build and operate the buildings for 40
years . After that time, the federal loan
and the land debt would be paid off and
both the buildings and property would
belong to Evergreen .
Because the ASH complex is federally
financed, rental rate increases must be
approved by the Department of Health
and Human Services (which has since
taken up Hub's responsibilities in this
area) .
"Though Evergreen is the recipient of the
services (it will receive the buildings and
property) it has no responsibility for payment of the loan," he said . The arrangement exists between ASH and HUD. ASH
is deSignated a non-profit corporation .
Rent is applied towards paying off the
original loan, the- utilities not payed
directly by residents, maintenance of the
property and employees' salaries.
There is some doubt as to whether ASH
rental policies fall under the constraints
of the Washington Landlord Tenant Act,
and there have repeatedly been problems
Orin Kirshner, another of the hunger
protesters, said, "One reason for the fast
IS that Reagan maintains that human
rights are improving and yet 733 Mozote
peasants were murdered last week by the
Salvadoran Army."
At 12:50, three State Police arrived and
.. t. F.L. Pilon asked the group if they had
d permit. When he was told that they had
not had time, he said that the group
would have to break up and attempt to
get one. He explained that if there are
more than two people gathered on the
Capitol steps without permission, it is
considered unlawful assembly. The protesters disbanded into groups of twos for
a short time while one person went to get
a permit.
The group, wearing signs of "Hunger
Protest in Solidarity" has now been
granted permission to have an organized
gathering on the Capitol steps between 8
8 a.m. and 6 p.m. The fast will be carried
on until noon today.
Tuition Bill
Surcharge
By John Bauman
A substantially rewritten version of
H .B. 784 passed out of tlie Senate Ways
and Means Committee Monday. The new
Senate version drops the optional ten
percent surcharge that the House version
allowed the schools to add to tuition .
Scott Huntly, staff member of the
Senate Ways and Means Committee,
called the Senate version "massively different" from the House version.

What is the relationship between Adult
Student Housing, Inc. (ASH) and The
Evergreen State College? Many people
think that some legal agreement defines
the relationship. This is not true.
In the early 1970's, when TESC was still
under construction, there was a need for
additional student hOUSing (that is, in
addition to the dorms). The board of
trustees studied several options The
alternative they chose involved a federally
financed housing complex .
This financing arrangement fell under
the general provisions of the College
Housing Act of 1950. The act originally
made funds available to colleges to provide for the construction of student and
faculty housing. In 1965, the act was
amended to open up the money to nonprofit corporations, established for the
sole purpose of providing housing or other
educational facilities for students and
faculty .
After looking at several options, the
board of trustees invited ASH , Inc. to
participate in the housi ng project.
ASH purchased the property on Overhulse Road from a private individual and
built the complex with a loan from the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) .
After nearly a year of inaction, the
question of the unequal sauna facilities in
TESC's Recreation Center was discussed at
a meeting called by Director of Athletics
Jan lambertz, Wednesday
The Sauna Discussion Group focused its
purpose on finding a short-term solution
to the inequities at the Rec Center, where
the sauna facilities for women are nearly
half as small as those of the men's. This
is in violation of Title IX of the Federal
Education Amendments, passed in 1972,
which mandates equal benefits for both
men and women in any education program receiving federal funding.
Though no solution was reached,
several were discussed. Among these, the
suggestion of switching the locker rooms
each year, whereby women would use the
men's larger facilities one year and their
own the next, received the most attention.
Self-Help legal Aid · representative Andy
Carter . suggested that the facilities could
be used in this fashion by making the
switch every spring quarter. Director of
Facilities Dave Wallbom stated that the
cost of such a switch would total $1,634,
including the expense of materials and
labor. Forty percent of this cost would be
for materials, while the other 60% would
be for labor. When it was suggested that
volunteers could be recruited for the job
of repainting the facilities each year,
Wallbom responded that this had not
historically been done because of liability
concerns . "But it is possible," he concluded .
Next the issue of custodial services was
brought up, and Wallbom explained the
greater expense of cleaning the men' s
locker rooms than the women's.
" It requires more men to clean the
men's locker rooms than women to clean
the women's locker rooms,'" Wa II borr.
stated. " I don' t know why this is except
that maybe men are sloppier. "
Alumnus Ted Buchart responded by
pointing out that switching would put the
men's urinals out of use, and ~tated that
he thought there must be a perfectly good
solution to the inequities without switching and putting " perfectly good urinals
out of use."
Another solution proposed was renovation of the present locker facilities.
Darrell Six estimated the cost of this at
$37,850, which would include adding new
locker space to the women's locker room
and thus equalizing it with the men's. It
was pointed out that such a proposal for
the purpose of addressing sexual discrimination would be laughed at by the legislature and would drastically reduce
TESe's funding opportunities.
In response to a suggestion to add a
200-square foot sauna in the women's
locker room, Six explained that this would
be an even more negative step due to the
amount of space that would have to be
remodelled. "You'd get into losing two of
the four existing waterclosets with this,"
he stated, adding that the cost of $19,240
would hardly justify this action .
The meeting ended without formal
agreement, and J3n lambertz expressed
the hope that one more meeting would
provide the needed short-term solution.
" There ;s a problem," she said. " Anyone
who believes that just because there
shouldn't be a problem, there isn't going
to be is naive."
"The Senate had a different view of the
issues involv"<i, so we wrote a bill we
thought would pass the Senate," he said.
The Senate version makes the requirements for changing frcm non-resident to
resident status tighter. A financiallyindependent student will have to demonstrate that he has been living in Washington for one year for other than educational purposes. This will make it difficult for
a student to change status wilhout taking
a year off school.
The House version brought the state
about $29 million and the Senate version
brings in about $25 million, according to
Huntly. Graduate student ·tuition is not
raised as much in the new bill .
Last year the legislature established an
"institutional loan fund" into which all
the schools have been putting 2.5 percent
of their tuition collections . This money
was to have been used for loans to needy
students.
The House version of.784 took this fund
for this year and next year and had the
schools put it in the state general fund .
The Senate version only takes the 1981-82
loan fund and allows the schools to keep
the funds for operati ng expenses.
in the House all the Democrats voted
against the bill . If they do the same in the
senate, then every Republican will have
to vote for the bill for it to pass .
" We have yet to talk to any Democrats
who are even shakey about voting against
this bill," said Dennis Eagle, a representative of the state' s community college students at the Capitol.
He said that they won't bring it up for
a vote unless they have the votes lined
up. " It could be this week. Once this bill
comes out, it will just flash past," he said .
"It' s still a bad bill," Eagle said. He
urged concerned students to contact their
senators and to lobby against the bill.
Students Teacl. Students Organic Farming
By Kris Nelson, a member of the
Explorations of the Future contract
Many residents around West Olympia's
Garfield Elementary School are thrilled by
a new garden in the neighborhood, and
by the Evergreen students behind it. Last
school year's first, fourth, and fifth graders
have taught gardening tricks to appreciative parents. Numerous teachers at Garfield feel the community project provided
an exceptional learning opportunity for
their students and the Evergreeners . Why
such supportl Because they have seen
what can be done between students from
an Evergreen program and an Olympia
organization working together.
Last winter, three Evergreen students in
the Small Scale Agriculture Program set
out to make an organic garden, not so
they could cut themselves off from Safeway, but to help grade schoolers learn
about effective gardening in a public
setting . Perhaps more importantly, they
demonstrated how to combine local
facilities and effort on a problem that
co ncerns us all: the high health, economi C, and environmental costs of today';
agriculture.
Twice a week, Ethan Schatz, Geo Shore,
and Donna Goodman ventured into the
rambunctious classrooms. To complement
the chemical-free gardening methods,
each Evergreener taught the basics of soi I
and plant ecologically. They talked about
the importance of earthworms to the wellness of the soil. Window sills gave access
to sunlight in order to grow their alfalfa
sprouts -a visual lesson in photosynthesis.
The fourth graders needed some explanation for mixing Garfield's discarded food
with chicken manure.
Outside at the muddy plot, no signs of
a human energy crisis could be found.
Boys in dirty blue jeans and just as many
girls, some in skirts, swung picks and
jumped on shovels to loosen the rocky
soil. After days of the arduous task, Evergreen's rototiller finally penetrated the
ground.
Western Soil Conditioners donated
numerous loads of compost, and the Evergreen-Garfield clan mounded it with aged
leaves to form raised beds. School bus
drivers, firemen from the station beside
the garden, and passersby in the adjacent
Woodruff City Park often paused, struck
with curiosity, to inquire about all the
activity. By the time beds had been prepared for planting, a neighbor gave the
kids young raspberry plants, which they
eagerly planted near lettuce and spinach
rows. Anticipation, not only among the
grade-schoolers and Evergreeners, but also
among the neighbors and teachers grew
with every new sprout.
Another person important to the project
was Garfield principal Dale Lien. When
Schatz, Shore, and Goodman approached
him, he suggested they locate a garden in
the front of the school with compost piles
on both sides of the entrance walk. He
really surprised them . Settling for a site
between the school and the fire station
instead, Lien felt quite satisfied and
secured a $6(() mini-grant from the
Olympia School District. The three parties
agreed it would be money well spent.
Over the summer, Shore worked with
the children at Latchkey Day Care on the
lush garden. They watered the carrots,
lettuce, zucchini, summer squash, corn,
and vegetables. The pre-schoolers weeded
and nurtured the sage, mint, parsley, and
other herbs at the garden's center. Shore
is receiving requests from his students,
who are now at Jefferson Middle School,
Music Review
Its Peak
U2 Has Not
By Da\ Id Gaff
UL was formed in Dublin, Ireland, about
fi\e yea rs ago by Bono Vox-vocals , The
Edge (Dave Evans)-guitars and piano,
Adam Clay ton-bass , and Larry Mullenrlrums. They released two albums in 1981
The iirst album, Boy, was compiled from
a Ilq of about 40 songs that they had
bpen playing. October, was their second
release of 1981 .
When the group was formed, nobody
kne\\ how to play their instruments . They
learned how to play their instruments at
the ~cl me time , and as they were going
through adolescence, and into manhood
Nino - DA nONA - DIPLOMA' - IAMGENERAL - MTD - DUNLOP - SEIIEILING HOLLEY - PfRELLI-DUNHILI ALLlANCf
- CHAPPAIELL
Boy, was their way of expressing their
feelings on adolescence and the journey
into manhood . Everybody knows their role
in the group, and nobody attempts to pass
himself off as the star. The sound that
they come up with is like no other in rock
today.
Larry Mullen's drumming is pushed to
the front, as is the case in Steve Lillywhite's produ ct ions, but he doesn't overpower thf' I istener. Adam Clayton's bass is
mi xed hack usually, and is highly supportive. The Edge's guitar is perhaps what
makes U2 stand out. At times, he plays
with harsh intensity, but he can also
change quickly and feelingly to a soft
nw lodi c sound when appropriate. On top,
or in addition, is Bono Vox. Bono's vocals ,
and the place he takes in the music is
simil ar to the way David Bowie and his
vocals take shapp within hi s music. Bono,
likf' Bowie, doesn't ove rpower the
musicians with hi s 'i in gi ng, but imtf'aa ,
lets the music swirl and encircle the
voca ls. The res ulting effec t , at lea'it on
record, is a happy, hopciu I, strong, powerful, and fresh approach to rock mu sic.
Boy is the strongest of the two U2
albums, because of the lack of weak
liZ· noy
moments on the album. The first side
begins and ends with powerful song: I
Will Follow and Out of Control. It is no
surprise that these two songs were both
singles. Into th e Heart and Shadows and
Tall Trees are both slow songs, done with
mu ch feel i ng, and they are brought off
surpri singly well. Int o the Hea rt may be
the bl:'st song on the album. Those two
track'i cou ld have been the weak points of
the album if it hadn 't been for the conf idencc' of the group in their own material ,
and also in Steve Lillywhite's strong production . This album shows U2's emergence as a se nsitive, intelligen t, and
chall engin pop group.
U2's second album, October, co ntinues
their succpss. The album is somewhat
flawed, in that they take no new ri sks.
The songs are basically good, but with
several standouts. Gloria is the immediate
to help organize a school garden through
their classes. He is also considering a plan
to initiate gardens in elementary schools
throughout the Olympia School District.
Such Olympia-Evergreen successes do
not have to stop with Garfield's fall
harvest. Many other programs could reach
out to such community groups as the
YWCA, senior citizens centers, Boy and
Girl Scouts, or neighborhood associations.
Consider the Energy Systems Program,
for instance. Students could conduct
energy audits of all municipal buildings,
churches, or a block of houses and determine the most effective electricity-saving
measures within an eight-year, pay-back
period
Certainly we need efforts to improve
engine efficiency, like Evergreen's fuelconserving research car, but a higher
priority, if not a moral obligation, is to
help the Olympia community take control
of its energy future. The economic reality
must also be faced: about $20 million
leaves Olympia annually to pay for food
and energy produced elsewhere.
The possibilities for academic programs
to collaborate with other Olympia groups
in building a self-reliant community are
endless. Environmental Design, Outdoor
Education, Science and Government,
Human Health and Behavior could all be
working with neighborhood associations
to solve problems that are global in scope
but locally evident. Peace-threatening
interdepe'ndence among countries for
dwindling resources calls Evergreen
faculty and administrators as well as students to imaginatively apply their reservoir
of insight and enthusiasm where efforts
make a difference
The ball is rolling. And the time is ripe
for Evergreen to become a leader in joint
self-help projects, stimulating new significance to community. In two years , Evergreen could be viewed as an important
contributor to a positive future. It's a
challenge well within the college's reach.
USEiJ
favorite, but for some reason it seems out
of place on thi s album . Tomorrow,
Reioice, and With a Shout, also are great
songs . There are, of course, slower numbers, like Scaflet and Stranger in a Stra nge
Land. Even though this is only U2's
second album, they should take more
chances U2, though they are the best
band around, probably have no t reached
their peak . Hopefully, they' ll be around
for a long time to come.

One of the world's greatest mandolin
players, Frank Wakefield, and his band
put on an exquisite country/bluegrass
concert Thursday night, January 28.
The band, which the night before .
attracted a huge crowd in Vancouver,
B.C., started playing just after 8 p.m. to a
less than sold out crowd in the Library
lobby
Wakefield kept an immense smile on
his face for the duration of the night. As
he moved from song to song, it was
obvious why he is called the best. His use
of the fretboard is complete. From one
end of the neck to the other he was pulling notes out with incredible speed. After
playing a set of traditional country/bluegrass tunes, by the likes of Hank Williams
and Earl Scruggs, the band left the stage
and Wakefield was alone with his
mandolin.
Even though his country joking was a
bit corny, Wakefield spoke to the audience as a professor would speak to his
class. ''I'll play this song in 0, some
people think its chimes, but it isn't . .1

Winds in the 20-30 knot range caused a

Gina Harrington , Evergreen Ski Team
star cross country (nordic) skier,
donned some downhill skis for the first
time thi s year and came up one point out
of first in the combined standings for
slalom, giant slalom (GS), and cross
country, at the Pioneer Invitational Ski
Meet hosted by Lewis and Clark of Portland .
The competition took place on January 29 and 30 at Multorpor Ski Bowl near
Mt. Hood Oregon. The Ducks captured
fourth place in team standings, their best
finish yet, for this year.
Harrington took second place on the 5
kilometer cross-country track with a time
of 36:25, just one minute and four seconds
behind Diane Johnson from Pacific Lutheran University (PLU), who is a nationallyranked runner.
Harrington's 2nd place finish in the
cross country coupled with an 11th in GS,
and 13th in slalom, gave her 26 combined
points.
which is ranked 14th nationally, managed
to cross the finish line first every time.
The skilled Duck sailors, however, were
never far behind, and made the University
of Washington really work for their wins .
The final results of the regatta were:
UW 1st
TESC 2nd
SU 3rd
UPS 4th .
The sailing team will once again travel
to Seattle to compete with the UW, this
weekend .
Liz Davis of PLU won the Skimeister
trophy with a 3rd in cross country, 16th in
slalom and a 6th in GS for 25 combined
points
Harrington finished almost five minutes
in front of Davis on the cross country
track.
" I was very happy with my cross country finish," Harrington said, " but that was
the [first slalom and GS] I've run in seven
years so I was happy to finish."
The men's team also performed quite
well with Eric Smith surprising everyone
with the top time in the 10 Kilometer
cross country, 9th in GS and 17th in the
sla lom..
Smith, who is on leave this quarter, IS
not eligible according to National Collegiate Ski Association (NCSA) rules and regulations because he is not a full -time
student, so hi s placings do not count.
Mike Cummings from the University of
Washington team won the cross country
despite skiing off the course and into the
woods. Pete Guenther was the only other
Duck to finish, taking 8th place out of 18
entrants.

It WilS time for a taste of his" Jesus"
music, a style that is entirely Frank Wakefield. With total control, Wakefield
whipped right through his solo. The audience burst into a wild round of applause
after he finished his last note.
His band joined him again for a few
more songs ~fore they all broke for i ntermission . A short while later, the band
took to the stage and played out many
more great tunes, among them such
favorites as Sweet Georgia Brown and The
Orange Blossom Special
Wakefield had another solo set. I
couldn't help but to close my eyes and
meditate on the sweet sounds coming
from his mandolin . It was quite an honor
to have this man play at Evergreen, but it
was unfortunate that a bigger crowd
didn't show up.
The band was called back for an encore
and the concert ended at 11 p.m . A
splendid job was done by the sound and
lighting crews as well as by those who
stayed
to help clean up.

Concern Over "Bad Publicity"
Dear Editor,
The coverage of the Communications
DTF on the front page of the CPJ was a
welcome sight. Your reporter, Carrie
Gevirtz, did a fine job of touching upon
the several issues involved . Only one error
of fact needs to be corrected; KAOS estimates that our broadcast can currently be
received by up to 70,000 people in
Thurston, Mason and southern Pierce
counties. You reported 35,000 potential
listeners for this area. The Grays Harbor
Expansion Project would add up to 70,000
more po tential listeners in Grays Harbor,
Jefferson, Lewis and Pacific cou nties. Included in these four counties is a signi ficant portion of the Native American
popu lation in w estern Washington. KAO'>
wou ld very mu ch like to serve this additi onal area , broaden our base of li steners
and incrpase the number of potential
donors
Some of your readers may be wondering why the college administration is
reluctant to accept a federa l grant to
Increase the broadcast area of KAOS. Thi,
is a puzz le to many of the volunteers and
staff at KAOS who have worked for over
2 l ' 2 yea rs to receive this grant. The
federJI government, through the National
Telet ollllllunications and Information
Administrat ion (NTIA). has offered $27,00 ,
to I: vergreen and KAOS for this repeater
system. Evergreen and KAOS have alread\
recPlved and spent the more than $6,000
from the Haas Foundation which is the
rpqu ired loca l match for the NTIA gran\.
The CPI article suggested that a concern over " bad publicity" may be the
cause of the administration's reluctan ce.
The student and community volunteers at
KAOS (over 130 people) sincerely hope
that the administration is not embarrassed
by the creat ive work of students or the
volunteer efforts of community members.
We broadcast more than 6,500 hours per
year and read over 21,000 public service
annou nceme nts . Another 21,000 community calendar, ride board and lost and
founcl announcements are broadcast each
year Many Evergreen and community
musici ans have been carried live on KAOS
and we provide a forum , albeit not offen
enough, for discussion of issues of interest
to the community. This weekend we will
bring many students and community
members together on campus (an important public relations objective of the
college administration) at the KAOS Bluegrass festival.
An action which the college administration can take to reduce their level of fear
(your article said they may be "afraid of
bad publicity") is the adoption of the DTF
recommendation that a full-time general
manager be hired at KAOS. A large
portion of the station's potential goes
unused at this time. Full-time management would increase the value of the
station to the college and to the community, as well as increase the rewards of
service received by the volunteers.
Thank you again CPJ for the coverage
of the Communications DTF and for this
opportunity to respond .
Sincerely,
Bob Shirley
Station Manager
Graphic Is More or Less Accurate
To the Editor :
To begin, I'd like to clarify something
for CPJ readers. On the cover of the 1/28
issue, my photograph was published with
an accompanying title of KA05-FM
General Manager. As grand as that title
might sound, I must deny it's validity. I
am NOT the KAOS general manager. As
the article indicates, that would be the
title of the position proposed in the report
of the Communications DTF . Presently
KAOS has no general manager. The
official title of my position is Program
Assistant II, and my monicker inside the
station is Academic Coordinator/Field
Supervisor.
paae 4 The Cooper Point
Journal
For the past four months ~ have been
under the supervision of the station
manager (officially). The cover graphic
leads the reader to the opposite conclusion. While the graphic is a more or less
accurate representation of the proposed
structure, it does not reflect the current
situation.
I want to applaud Ms. Gevirtz for the
level-headed and thoughtfu I reflection regarding the KAOS/CPJ controversy. The
feature reflects a mature consideration of
the situation which is refreshing. You
people are publishing a newspaper; we
run a radio station . The business of communications is a serious one, and it
requires care in thought and action .
Working Hard (as always).

the experience of Monk for those who
weren't and who were there at the performance. My already heartfelt appreciation ·of the actual concert experience
was elevated and illuminated in richer
detail by his lucid and embracing reflec- ,
tion and interpretation of the event. Such
writing! Thank you so much.
And , yes, Nesbitt has been a guiding
light (in his quiet way), showing us the
best, albeit a sampling, of American performance art at its most incisive edge. So
why do we edge away in our budget
support for this important part of our
essence in times that slide from tough to
tougher?
Donovan Gray
It's the Principle
More on the Communications OTF
CP) EditorThank you for last week 's coverage of
thf' work done by the Communications
Disappearing Task Force on KAOS and
Cooper Point Journal Management and
Advisory Issues (better known as the
Communications DTF) Getting this kind
of information out to the Evergreen community is one of the important functions
of the CP).
Most of the information contained in
the story is correct, however there are a
few glaring errors that require immediate
corrections. First, the proposed organizational model is just that: A proposal, not
a fact. The photo image on the front page
of last week 's paper depicts Director of
College Relations Chuck Fowler as the
"Publi sher/ Advisor" of the CPJ . He is not.
Also, Michael Huntsberger is not General Manager for KAOS-fm . His position
titl e is "Program Assistant 2" In that
capacity hi s responsibilities include academic advising for all station staff members and field supervisor for students
conducting internships at KAOS. Those
are only two of the proposed duties of the
proposed General Manager position .
It also needs to be pointed out that
there are five members of the Evergreen
Board of Trustees, not four, as is pictured
on last week's front page. What happened
to Thelma Jackson l
'
There is one other correction that needs
to be made. I am quoted as stating that
the DTF was charged because KAOS is in
the process of applying for a grant from
the National Telecommuni cations and
Information Administration (NTlA) that
would send the KAOS broadcast signal
into Grays Harbor County. That may have
been one of the reasons that President
Evans charged the DTF. Other reasons
may have included the investigation last
spring of alleged improper activities in thp
way some members of the KAOS staff
operated, the historical lack of professional field supervision for student interns
at KAOS and the Cooper Point Journal ,
and the sporadi c nature of the academic
support provided by the college to both
KAOS and the CPJ.
Again, thanks to Carrie Gevirtz for a
news story that was comprehensive and,
for the most part, correct .. The Communications DTF will soon have a final report
to President Evans and the Board of
Trustees. We will be happy to share that
report with the commun ity-at-Iarge .
through KAOS and the CPI. of course.

A Rave Review
Editor /CPJ:
David Goldsmith's piece on Meredith
Monk's recent showing at Evergreen (CPI
1/28/82) is one of the best pieces of
journalism I've seen in The CPJ recently
(yes, even critics can be journalists) and
at the top of all arts criticism I've read in
some time (The New Yorker excepted,
which is an honorable exception all the
same). And I read a respectable bit.
Goldsmith has a deeply-rooted sensitivity for that daring task of translating
February 4, 1982
Editor :
Last Sunday night I worked security at
the Tanah ill Weavers concert here on
ca mpus. During the cou rse of the evening
I had to show out seven or eight people
who tried to get in without paying.
Nothing unusual , it happens at every concert , but something a friend said to me
abou t it got me thinking If they can't pay
anyway, she rationalized , what difference
does it make if they get in for free? Well,
I thought about it, and the answer I came
up with is that it is basically a matter of
principle, of respect.
Listen, people. The bands that come
here make their living touring. If they
didn't get paid for performing they
couldn't tour. Now, our concert promoters
don't make any personal profit from these
engagements, they need ticket sa les to
break even so they ca n pay the band (and
the sound and lighting) .
What I'm trying to say is, the basis of,
the entire system is that the money from
the ticket sales is the money that enables
these artists to make a living bringing live
music to us , It makes no difference that,
"Well , just a couple of people won't
matter." It makes no difference that, in
our case, the college will cover any
deficit. I t is the principle that matters.
Anyone that sneaks into a concert is
showing a total lack of respect for the
musicians and the way that they earn
their living. If you like a band enough to
want to see them live, then you should
respect that band enough to pay your way
in . If everyone sneaked into concerts, professional musicians couldn't tour. And
that would be our loss as well as theirs.

Stopping Us Intervention
Editor:
By the time you read this letter, spontaneous demonstrations will have already
taken place in Olympia to protest the
increase of U.S. military aid to EI Salvador,
On Sunday, January 31, the Olympians
Against Intervention in EI Salvador
(O.A .I.E.S.) met and organized immediate
actions to protest the authorization by
Ronald Reagan of $55 million in "emergency" military aid to the ruling junta in
EI Salvador without congressional approval.
This aid includes planes and helicopter
gun machines to replace those destroyed
last week in EI Salvador by liberation
forces. In that raid , 11 planes and helicopters were destroyed, which was a
major blow to the army. (New York Times
1/28/82). These protest were also in
response to the reports of continued
massacres of Salvadoran working class,
students, professors, union organizers,
churc h officials, and anyone else "suspected" of sympathizing with the liberation organizations there.
On 2/1/81 the Seattle P.I. reported that
"as many as 27 men and women, most of
them in their teens and 2(1s, were killed
during the pre-dawn sweep by about 200
government troops through San Salvador's
working class district of San Antonio
Abad."
,
In this raid three sisters were raped
before being shot, and the mother of
..
another victim said, "The soldiers said I
had nothing to worry about as they took
my daughter away."
In a Salvadoran government communique regarding the massacre it was stated
that "The operation was a success," and
that " This action was a result of training
and professionalization of our officers and
soldiers." (Seattle P.I. 2/1/81)
In Fort Bragg, N.C., 1600 Salvadoran
officers and soldiers will be in "training"
and the Reagan administration will ask for
$200-$300 million more in military aid in
the next year. This administration is using
the guise of defense against communism
to protect U.S. multi-national corporate
interests throughout Central America . Thi s
is how the U.S . defense budget is being
spent in the fa ce of massive social service
budget cuts.
OAI.ES responded with picketing and
leafleting at noon and 4:30 on Monday,
Feb. 1, that both informed and asked
people to attend a rally and picket at
noon on Tuesday, Feb. 2. That pi cket
marked the beginning of a two-day fast by
six members of OA I. ES i .' protest of
Reagan's actions. You ca n help by telephoning or sending 'a telegram to:

An Unfortunate Predicament
Ed itor :
As a visual comm unications student I
am amazed at the quantity and quality of
-facilities available at TESC. I have been to
many colleges in California, including the
University of California system and have
found none comparable to Evergreen in
facilities. The lack of quality qualified
personnel for which to satisfy the huge
hunger that abounds here is sadly lacking.
Other colleges make do with less and produce much more.
The Bruce Baillie band-aid solutions to
the continlJal problem of the lack of
media faculty is an absurd attempt to
shove a pacifier into the mouth of the
Evergreen communications student. Evergreen is not a temporary tent city for
esoteric artists to camp out at. Evergreen
is an established college with implanted
steel concrete bUildings. Evergreen is also
endowed with an enormous wealth of
state of the art equipment; four recording
studios, one broadcast quality lV studio,
two 16mm editing flatbeds, seven professional-quality 16mm cameras, worth over
$1.5 million.
After running inside the academic maze
and picking through all this wealth of
equipment, we find no film faculty, two
part-time TV teachers, one audio professional, and that's it, period. Each class
these three teachers offer is filled during
early registration with a waiting list trailing from here to Tacoma. There is a large
number of lilghly enthusiastic students
eagerly awaiting a chance to enroll in a
communications class. Why don't we
have more TV, audio, and at least one
film faculty? Is the administration just
waiting for all the millions of dollars of
equipment to become obsolete?
Like a newborn child, technology
grows, cries, screams and eats, but never
seems to grow up. We the proprietors of
this technical monstrosity are continually
overwhelmed as our surroundings change
faster than our ability to adapt. Our
methods of coping with technological
change vary from a Willingness to confront
directly, to a desire to go numb and
accept frustration. At Evergreen both
philosophies are entertained .
This problem area is crippling students
interested in learning progressive visual
communication skills. It is time we, the
students, the faculty, and the administration all take some responsibility and
correct this unfortunate predicament.

It's finally come to me why the Washington State Legislature is so taken with
our state's tax system.
Remember, the majority of those guys
up there are Republicans, and Republicans
these days are very concerned with
incentives. That's the supply side idea
that one has to consider all the effects ot
a tax, not only the money it brings in , but
the way it makes peopte behave.
For instance, they don't want a tax on
airplanes. If airplanes are taxed everyone
will take their airplanes and park them in
Oregon or somewhere, to avoid paying
the tax.
The same argument appl ies to the proposed tax on intangibles. This wou ld be a
tax on the income from stocks, bonds ,
interest payments and other kinds of
" intangible" property . The testimony
opposing the intangible tax focused on
the disincent ive it would create to invest
in Washington . People would go to
Oregon to invest their money . Banks and
such would be loathe to locate here and
be taxed .
The tax on boats is similar. Not taxing
boats is actually a rather neighborly
gesture. We wouldn't want to give Oregon
a problem with "boat people."
And the income taxi Well , of cou rse,
that 's unthinkable l We wouldn' t want to
discourage people Irom earning money ,
lor God's sake l
Who knows what would happell if we
Inst ituted an income taxi Everyone wou ld
;Jrobably get a job in Oregon . We'd have
'0 pave the Columbi a Rivf'r just to take
are of ru sh hour.
I:nough on proposed taxes . What's the
dist inctive f eature of our tax system as it
IS? Washington is blessed with an UIlU SUally regress ive tax st ructurf'. I n other
words, a lower income person pays a
larger percentage of hi s or her income in
state taxes than a ri ch person [see chart) .
A Significant Life
By Michael Barnes
Michael Barnes is a campus political
activist and a member of the Student
Union.
Most Greeners would be appalled to
think that more often than not, our
responses are conditioned much like our
parents'. Now that such a gruesome
notion has been committed to paper, I
think there is something to be gained
from exploring it further. Most of what
happens, or fails to happen, at Evergreen
could be seen in a clearer light if the
students realized to what extent we are
dominated, like our parents, by a consumer mentality.
I cannot help but liken Evergreen to'O
one of those newfangled high-tech consumer goods, say, a chrome-plated, multidialed, digital toaster. Wonderously complicated and flexible, capable of conforming to every whim of the user, and
featuring the latest components and
technology - Evergreen reads like a
Madison Avenue dream.
After awhile, such products have a way
of falling apart. Then the trouble beginsthere's no way to know what's wrong with
the thing, finding someone who is qual ifiedto fix it is next to impossible, and
once you find someone, you discover the
cost is more than the thing is worth in the
first place.
In a society already plagued by an infatuation with complex technology, a tailspinning bombshell without functioning
controls, where does Evergreen fit? The
college strives to teach solutions to these
social ills, yet at the same time is a victim
of these ills. Evergreen isn't part of the
solution, it's part of the problem.
Perhaps I'm not being completely fair
to my fellow students. After all, most of
us would be astute enough not to be
taken in by a digital toaster. Maybe this is
the reason for the stunning lack of interest
In campus politics. Greeners seem immune to the call 'of campus invo.lvement
and the lure of material consumption
as 'well.
T~e consumption mentality, however, is
like the hardy cockroach-as soon as we
discover an effective deterrent, it mutates
into another form. If Greeners despise the
old forms of consumption, then they have
wholeheartedly embraced the new ones.
-
The advant. ge of this , of course, is that
it means ther." is a disincentive to be poor
here. In fact , poor people ought to bP

ience
As theologian Harvey Cox warns, young
people are no longer enthralled by the
conspicuous material consumption of a
generation ago. I nstead , they are captivated by a new form of consumption,
experiential consumption. We opt for
travels through Nepal, seminars at Esalen,
and summer-long bike tours with as mu ch
enthusiasm as our parents sought second
cars and outdoor barbecues.
Ultimately, our diversions are no less
expensive. Keeping up with the Joneses
won't hurt our karma, as long as we do it
in rip-stop nylon
This is the real appeal of Evergreenwhat's being sold to us is the "Evergreen
experience." Why should sharp young
consumers like us settle for that old humdrum, routine university education, when,
for the same price, we can purchase an
Evergreen experience? It's new! It's different! It's exciting!
However appealing all this sounds,
reducing Evergreen to a consumer product
creates severe problems. For one, it aggravates the already troublesome dichotomy
in our society between consumption and
production . We forget too easily that
ideas are not things which we consume
for our pleasure. Ideas obligate us to be
producers . We are responsible to our
ideas, and for the attempt to make them
manifest in the world.
At Evergreen, the failure to understand
this is evident in the number of students
who can articulate the latest Marxist
critiques of our SOCiety, yet cannot translate this into any personal commitment or
action . Ideas become so many potato
chips -tasty morsels to nibble upon
during seminar. We have no commitment
to them; they commit us to nothing.
This could all be chalked up to Capitalism's incredible ability to CCHlpt its critics,
but that would be too easy. It disavows
our personal responsibility for our own
world, and it disavows the necessity for us
to prevent a slide toward despotism.
In her recent book on Trilateralism,
editor Holly Sklar discusses Huxley's Brave
New World and the " new totalitarianisms"
of the future. Unlike the old totalitarianisms, which relied on brutality and repression, the new ones will be different"That these new totalitarianisms do not
resemble the old is largely contingent
upon the nurturing of a politically
apathetic consumption community"
As I sat in the audience at last year's .
',raduation, listening to the usual self,ongratulatory pronouncements, I was
" mazed by the conceit of us all here at
!vergreen. I felt like the young boy who
( an't see the Emperor's new clothes. I felt
like the unfortunate who jumps to his feet
.it the end of an EST seminar and shouts,
'No, I don't get it. What is this 'experinnce' everybody talks about?"
"A politically apathetic consumption
community" -sorry folks, but that sounds
like Evergreen to me. Greeners won't have
to fight the brave new worlds of the
future, for they have already accepted a
basic tenet, the consumer mentality. The
comic-strip character Pogo said it a long
time ago, and said it best - "I have seen
the enemy, and he is us."

Is It Life
By David Goldsmith
Whose Life Is It Anyway?, directed by
John Badham.
The movie's title itself is indicative of
its major flaw . Simply put, Badham's new
fi 1m is about as subtle as a fart in an
operating room. This is a shame, for a
theme so inherently poignant as euthanasia desef'\lP~ it much more sophisticated
treatment. With a lighter touch more
imagination and, especially, a ~reater
audience's intelligence W.L.I.1.A.t might
actually have succeeded.
I guess It'S the old Black-Hat;White-Hat
mentality we're talking about here.
Badham, and Hollywood in general,
obviously perceives the greater part of the
Ameri can filmgoing public as being incapab le of interpreting any verbal or
visual clues short of a sc ream or an explosion. That may work well for The Thing
That Ate Cleveland or even Star Wars but,
it certain ly can't cut it for serious drama.
This heavy-handedness is at its worst in
the very beginning of the movi e. Even
before all the credits have had a chance
to settle themselves on the take-up reel,
we are drowned in inanities. Our hero,
played by Richard Dreyfuss, is perched/
atop a Caulderesque sculpture welding the
finishing touches to his latest masterwork .
See how full and active a life he leads?
Now look down below to his cute girlfriend as she banters trite lines with
Dreyfuss' student-helpers. listen to her
actual first line: "What is it? Its Art of
course." Watch me finger my coat nervous ly, sitting still warm in the next seat,
inviting me to beat a hasty retreat.
Cut to the next scene. Watch a runaway
18-wheeler reach the intersection at the
same time Dreyfuss and his shiny Datsun
280Z does. Watch the nice car go under
the rig. See the top come off . Then
watch the medics cu t off the door and
pull Dreyfuss, his head rivulets of blood,
out of the wreck . This is all in the first
two minutes, mind you.
Cut to the hospital room with Dreyfuss
in bed and smiling, seemingly accl imated
well to hi s new life as a quadraplegic. See
tne hardnosed - really - compassionate_
Puerto Ri can -headnurse as she trains the
new nurse in the art of bedsorp prevention. Here comes his now ex-lover With
flowers. Next -comes the Rasta orderly to
shave the quad : " Hey mon, it be time to

get cut." "Oh, no," says Dreyfuss, " A
Black man with a razor. " Cute, no?
In comes John Cassavettes as the chief
of surgery, a clutch of third-year students
in tow. They approach a still-warm corpse.
One would-be doctor is caught by Cassavettes in mid-yawn and is lambasted by
same : " look at that. This should make
you sick. It makes me sick. Anytime YOll
see someone die before his allotted three
score and ten you should get sick." Talk
about being fairly clubbed over the head!
Cassavettes might just as well have turned
to the camera and declaimed, "Hi. I'm the
chief of surgery here. I'm totally opposed
to euthanasia and will be adamantly contesting this patient's so-called right to die.
When you see me later, it'll all start to
make sense"
I could go on and on . The stereotypical
Jewish shrink, a Black shrink, a young
lawyer who amazingly enough seems to
only lose his stutter in the courtroom.
Add to them the gorgeous doctor caught
between her growing feelings for the
quad's right to determine his own fate
and her hypocratic oath to save lives . All
stock figures moving in circles around the
~ - ®OO@@1Ml (C~@@[IJ -='=---'
man in the bed whom we really never do
seem to get inside of. In the one internal
monolQgue of sorts, all we get is the
obligatory scene of his former lover
dancing and posing for Dreyfuss; one
short B&W reflection of bygone days.
That and one single tear running down
the face of the man powerless to brush it
away.
It is a poignant story, actually - Dalton
Trumbo's Johnny Cot His Gun proved
that years ago. But without some belief in
his audience's abil ities, the entire production falls f lat. And if we continue to be
fed this pablum perhaps our teeth will
indeed atrophy and be incapable of sinking into something tougher and more
nourishing.
Dreyfuss is witty enough, sharp-tongued,
presenting an admirable, though tragic,
figure. Cassavettes is wooden as ever; for
once well-suited to his role. A few scenes
are genuinely moving; one with a
Rasta/ Punk band absolutely hilarious.
And thank Cod, Badham didn't pull a
"Joni" and have Dreyfuss start molding
clay with his teeth. But John, hey, let's
leave the hats at home next time-for all
our sakes.

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is the
lead ing cause of death in this country.
CAD, together with strokes, will account
for approximately one million deaths in
the United States this year.
They are caused by atherosclerosis, a
type of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the
arteries), characterized by deposits of
cholesterol and other fats in the cell wall
of the medium and large arteries. Fibrous
ti ssues may accumulate around these
deposits forming a plaque.
Studies have shown .that this process
begins very early in life. As these plaques
enlarge over the years , they gradually
narrow the opening of the blood vessels,
thereby restri cti ng blood flow. Heart
attacks are caused by blood clotting in
an artery of the heart, strokes are caused
by blood clotting in one of the arteries
leading to the brain, at the site of these
plaques.
The causes of atherosclerosis are unknown. However, many contributing
factors have been examined that correlate

Nothing can be done about the first three,
hut the other factors may be controlled.
Diets high in fat, saturated fat and
,-holesterol have been shown to increase
')Iood cholesterol levels. Since high blood
holesterol levels have been implicated as
I possible factor in heart disease, many
recommendations have been made to
red uce the amounts of cholesterol and fat
In. our diets. To say the least, there is vast
disagreement among the different authorities on the efficacy of this sort of dietary
change.
Studies have shown that blood cholesterol levels can be lowered by reducing
Intake of fat, specifically saturated fat
[meats, dairy products) . The rea l question
,eems to be whether lowering these levels
will have any affect on the rate of
dtherosclerosis .
The American Heart Association and
numerous authorities seem to think there
is no harm in recommending a diet that

tied in with death from heart disease,
people will still smoke. Realize that the
langer exists - the rest is your business.
Obesity is a health problem of its own
'1 thi s country and is a factor in hi gh
')Iood pressure and heart disease. It is
xtremely important to attain and maindin one's " ideal" body weight through
lecreased caloric intake and increased
.)hysica l exercise.
Fi nally and possibly most important of
JII is the need to increase physical
activity. Exercise is benPiicial for controllin g obesity and high blood pressure
It is interf'st ing to note that marathon
runners have almost no inciden ce of
coronary heart di sease. Recommendations
Me to start out any new exercise program
slowly, and gradually increase intensity
and time of the chosen activity . Aerobic
l'xercises like swimming, jogging, walking
,md racquetball are most beneficial for
tIlE' heart This kind of physical activity
3-4 times a week is probably sufficient for
cardiovascu lar fitness. Be sure to consult
a physician before beginning a new exercise program if you are out of shape.

present the major risk fa ctors in hopes
that by taking a little personal responsihility for our own health we may prevent

provides 30% of its calories from fat and
a reduction in dietary cholesterol to
300 mgs. or less per day. This amounts to
a 10-15% drop in fat intake from the
,Iverage
diet, the drop mainly coming
rom saturated fat. The American Medical
\ssociation and other authorities do not
l'el these changes are warranted at thi s
Ime, as there is no unequivoca l proof
hat it does any good in affecting the rate

Although I am not an authority on the

,Imount of time reviewing the scientific
Iterature concerning this matter. First of

Ihere does appear to be some promiSE' of
