Evergreen Auxili ary Serv ices is p lanning

" As far as I'm concerned , thi s is going

Jacob hopes to exp and the food service

" 1 hope we can continue wi th the type
of food that has bee n offered, p lus a

ho urs that food is avail able."

Vandals 'Strike in Lots
By Roger Dickey
Over Chri stmas Break someone broke a
w indow out of Louisa Richardson'S car
and tied the anten na in a knot . Within
the last coupl e of weeks her battery was
stolen, and now her gas cap is also missing. Louisa lives in A Dorm, and parks her
ca r in F Lot, where all the vandalism and
theft took place .
As h Manager Larry Freemark related t he
ex perience of one As h resident w ho's
front-whee l drive car was parti all y dismantl ed in the Ash parking lot.
" She went to drive away and the front
ju st fell out from under the car." Most of
the problems at Ash are not that serious.
" Lo ts of gas sip ho ning and sto len radios, "
Freemark described il. " We haven' t had
any broken w indows. It 's most ly from cars
that are left un locked."
Thi s leads Freemark to suspec t thE'
theft s are the work of juvenil es , not profess iona ls. " Prof es sio n al s wou l d do a
better job and they wou ldn' t stop wit h
gas and radios ."
Fve rgree n Sec urity Li eutenant Gary
Russell has mo re th an spec ulati o n to go
on. Of the las t 67 inc idents of parki'ng lot
theft or vandal ism, in w hi ch suspec ts
were apprehended, one invo lved an Evergreen student, another in volved two mili Mry personnel. There were a few junior
high students. The rest of t he individual s
caught were students at Capit al High
School.
The probl em is sporadi c, Lt. Russe l sa id,
" W e ca tch one or two and the word gets
out that Evergreen is a bad place to pull
that. Then a little time goes by, people
forget and we start havi ng the trouble
again."
There are times that are predictably
bad, weekends, high-sc hool breaks and
summers. Russ el ex plained that th e
Security patrols are heavily manned at
those times . But there ju st isn't a large
enough force to be everywhere at once.
F Lot is the hardest hit. Some nights a
security office r sits in the lot in hi s own
vehi cle. He is able to radio 'other officers
if

Last yea r, Evergreen students formed a
vo lunt ee r patro l group ca ll ed Cr im e
Watch, wh ich worked to notify Security
of any susp icious activiti es in th e parking
lots. This year the group fi zz led out.
Russe l hopes next year's students will be
more interes ted in parti cipating in the
Crime W atch activities .
Security Head M ac Smith sa id st udent s
should check the ir ca rs everyday The
,ooner the d am age or tl-:~ft is reported ,
th e better the chance of recovery or res ti tution, according to Smith.
" We've had about 50% restitution (of
the damage reported in F Lo t). " sa id Smith .
" 1n every case but one w herE' a , tudent
was caugh t , therE' has been 1()O % restituti on . Thilt one is st ill Iwing d isr us,ed
h" twE'E'n thE' parE'nt s of tl1P studE'nt and
the own er of th E' r ar "
Sm ith ex pldined that whE'nevE' r poss ibl('
( as('s in volVi ng juvenil es w ithout pre VIOll S
record s ,1re handled outside thE' court s
S('curi ty prders to deal wit h t hp o ffendf'r',
LlIllily ilnd arrange res ti tu t ion for t he
vict im.
Smith wou lcl li ke to build a fence
,1round F Lot. " That's the only way we'll
ever be abl e to ca tch t hem all. Right now
if an of.ficer drives in they take off into
the woods, " he exp lained.
He wou ld also like to install some TV
monitors that Security has. " If we cou ld
get Hou~i ng to in stall the cabl es over
there fr om the tunnels, the res t is real
easy . W e co uld watch the lo ts," Smith
sa id .
Director of Aux ili ary Servic es Ken jacob
sa id his office had explored both of these
optio ns a couple of years ago and concluded the costs were proh ibiti ve . At that
time it would have taken "on the order of
$30,000 or $40,000" just to lay the necessary cab le for th e su rveill ance equipment.
For now Smith, Russel and Freemark all
agree the best defense Evergreen students
have ~ga inst parking- lot theft is Vigilance .
All recommend reportin g to Security anyone seen prowling in the parking lots.

Initiative 414 hopes to prevent this.

Citi ze ns for a Cle aner Washington
(CCW) is sponsoring a r.e fund recycling
ini tiative for the 1982 ballot.
Initi ative 414 would establish a minimum refund value of five cents ·on beer
and soft drink bottles and cans sold in
Washington State. Sponsors of 1-414 are
optimistic about its passage and point to
indicators of national and state-wide support for such measures.
CCF said that a recent independent poll
(conducted by WASH / PRIG based at the
University of Washington) reported that
7u 'j<'o or vvasnmgton voters would support
a system requ iring a five-cent refund on
beer bottles and cans.
In a newsletter dated March 26, CCW
sa id that eight states already have refund
l eg isl ation : Oregon, Mi c hi gan, Maine ,
Ve rmont, Iowa, Connecticut, Massachusetts and De laware. Th ey sa id that
Co lorado, Ca li fornia and Ari zona w ill also
have refund meas ures on the November
1982 ball ot.
Members of' CCW sponsored a simil ar
initiat ive (1-61) in 1979 whic h did not
pass . King Count y CCW Coo rdin ator
Thomas Crisp said th at the media fund for

the 79 initiative amounted to $9000 out
of a total fund of about $90,000.
Cri sp sa id that the successful l
opaign
against 1-61 was spOnsored by large -orporations , many from out of state, incl, ling:
Kaiser Aluminum, the Can Manufact,lrers
Institute in D.C. , Kerr Glass Manufacturing
Corp . in Los Angeles , Adolph Coors in
Colorado, and Reynolds ME'tal in Virginia.
More fu nding came from corporations in
the beverage industry, he added .
In contrast to that campaign , Crisp said
that CCW has co llected $8IXX) already,
just for the media fund . They expect to
coll ect more than $120,000 for the media
fund out of a total campaign fund of
$250,000.
1-414 sponsors say the initiative wi ll
create jobs, reduce litter and save energy.
In the area of employment, Cri sp said
that there wou ld be an increase of jobs in

EI Salvador Reforms Deceive Public
By Erin Kenny

Amid gun f ire and explosions, the people
of EI Salvador solemnly lined up to vote.
The March 28, 1982, elections were cited
by the U .S. government as evidence that
the ru ling Salvadoran junta was dedicated '
to true reform in their country.
The Reagan administration maintained
that the parties represented in the elections spanned the compl ete politi ca l
spectrum , with only factions known as
the extreme left excluded .
However, the Was hing ton Post (Nov.
11, 1982) characterized the six registered
parties as being "on the far righ t, in varying degrees oppos ing soc ial and economi c
reforms and supporting an increased role
for the military in government. "
The Salvadoran government proposal
for the 1982 elections establi shed t hat all
polit ical pa rt ies and organizations that
wanted to participate in the elect ions

The U .S. government has cited the
agrarian reform program as additional
proof that the Salvadoran government is
makin g continued efforts to address
essential economic and political problems in EI Salvador. The land reform appeared at first to be a sincere effort on
the part of the ruling junta to distribute
the land more equitably among the
people of EI Salvador. Phase I of the land
reform ca lled for the nationalization of all
estates over 500 hectares; Phase II required nationalization of all est ates from
100-500 hectares; and Phase III ca lled for
a redi stributi on of all land to the till er.
Pres id ent of the ruling junta, Jose
Napoleon Du arte, announced the implementation of land reforms in M arch 1980
and simultaneously imposed marti al law.

The reform s were brought to an abrupt
halt in May 1980 under direct orders from
the Vice President, Colonel Guttierez . He
announced that there would be no further
reforms beyond Phase I.
There were many problems with Phase I
of this agrarian reform act. For instance,
many of the large landholders knew the
reform was coming so they hurriedly distributed their holdings among relatives so
that none had over SOO hectares. Also, the
reform contained a clause whi ch allowed
landholders to claim up to lS0 hectares of
the 500 for themselves and an additional
20% o f the SOO hectares if they made
improvements on the land.
This meant that of every 500 hectare
plot, only 300 would actually be turned
over to the government. Immediately fol lowing the enactment of Phase I, over

cropped on these large estates were
evicted by the army when those estates
were relinqui shed to the government.
Although it is stated that Phase I affects
most of the nation's best agricultural land,
in fact 69% of the land affected by the
reforms is used for cattle grazing, not
cultivation .
Only 9% of the nation's coffe land is
affected by Phase I since most coffee
farms are under SOO hectares. Coffee is EI
Salvador's major export crop and represents the backbone of the oligarchy's
power. The failure to implement Phase II
is parti cularly significant in this regard
since it would cut deeply into the
oligarchy's power by expropriating 30%
of the coffee .lands.
In December 1980, Rodolfo Viera, the
president of the Salvadoran Land Reform
Institute, presented the results of a survey
which indicated that of 184 persons killed
since March 1980 for their involvement in
t he agrarian reform , 133 had been killed
by Salvadoran government security forces.
Two days later, Vi era was assassinated .

"Get the government off the backs of
the People! " Wasn't that Reagan's zea lous
pledge two years ago?
He may not have lived up to that
pledge, but at least his administration's
record has been consistent.
In a blatant attempt to meddle in state
affairs, the U .S. Justice Department filed
suit in Seattle's U.S. District Court last
Friday with the intention of overturning
voter initiative 394. The suit was filed at
the request of the U .S. Energy Department.
Initiative 394, passed overwhelmingly
by Washington State voters last Novembel
(it passed 2-1 in Thurston County), gives
state voters final approval concerning
how much money is borrowed on their
behalf by the Washington Public Power
Supply System(WPPSS) .
WPPSS has already borrowed over $S
billion, on our behalf, to finance the
construction of three nuclear plants. The
original cost of the three plants was
estimated at $2 billion; current figures
stand at almost $14 billion .
In 1981, the Washington Senate Energy
Committee cited WPPSS mismanagement
as the cause of at least half of the cost
overruns. Initi ative 394 was a reasonable
response to th at mismanagement.
Three banks, including Seattle First
National , have already filed suit against
the initiative on behalf of WPPSS bondholders. They claim that, as bond trust ees,
their contracts with the bondholders
would be adversely affected .
The Federal government claims that the
initiative is unconstitutional because it
interferes with congress ionally-approved
contracts .
Here we have the government intervening in a matter that is the realm of
Washington voters and t heir public
agency

According to the Washington Post (January 2S, 1982) the reform program was
" near collapse because of military-backed
terror and murder, ill ega l peasant convictions, and a slow, 'frequentl y hostile'
bureaucracy."
A December 1981 report issued by the
Sa lvadoran Commun al Union found that
t here had not been many positive changes
toward a more eq uitable distribution of
land . The report found that, among other
things, only 7.S% of all land in EI Sa lvador was affected by the reform s, onl y 2
out of the 300 cooperat ives have rece ived
t itl es to their land and only 10% of t he
150,lXlO forcib ly evicted families w ho
sharec ropped have received land . Titling
for large cooperatives has occ urred for
o nly 3 out of 326 farms and provi sion al
titles have been issued to only 20,lXlO of
the 125,lXlO potential benefi ciari es.
The land reform program has been
ca ll ed a plan of rural pacification . It may,
as we ll , be called a pacif ication pl an for
the Ameri can people. Both Presidents
Carter and Reagan emphasized the signi fica nce of these land reforms and cited
them as eviden ce that the ruling junta
was indeed a progressive and even revolutionary government. This helped to
strengthen t heir fustification for increased
aid to the junta.
However, in September, 198 1, former
U .S Ambassador Robert White revealed
that " the second. stage of the land reform
had been expli citly cancelled with US
approval " (The Progressive, Sept. 1981).
It is interest ing to note that the Reagan
admini stration , as well as the Ca rter
admini stration , tri ed to capitali ze on the
supposedly active rol e the U .S. played in
promo ting this " progressive" land reform .
And so, it seems that following the
implementat io n of " progressive" land
reforms and th e holding of " free" elections , whi ch the U .S maintai ned provided
the soc ial and political so lutions to the
cou ntry' s problems, the situ ation in EI
Sa lvador rem ains as it was: violently
unstable.

Washington residents are ultimately
responsible for the cost of WPP5S. Washington re5idents face the gravest ri sks
from the Northern Tier pipeline; clearly
these are legitimate state concerns
warranting more than belittlement from
appointed " Mega-crats." The situation is
more complex than the government
would have us believe.
While the above-mentioned political
boils have come to a head, another has
surfaced concerning federal leasing of
large tracts of Seattle and Tacoma's
watersheds for oil and gas exploration .
The two watersheds supply most of
Seattle and Tacoma's water. Hunting,
fi shing and hiking are prohibited within
these areas in order to maintain th e
supply's purity. It seems questionable that
the Federal Bureau of Land M anagement
would endanger such a supply.
The situation is further compli cated by
the fact that the Bureau granted the
leases again st'the recommendations of

the U.S. Forest Servic e. Both agencies fall
under the leadership of Interior Secretary James Watt.
The W ashington congressional delegation lodged a strong protest and the leases
were suspended pending an investigation
into why they were issued.
It seems that the Reagan administration
sings the "States-Rights" melody when it
comes to providing social servi ces and
throws in a little centralization refrain
when it looks like states rights can be
trampled. '

A Splendid Little War?

Wednesday Should
Be Our Day
By Bob Davis

Another case in point is the Northern
Tier pipeline. Governor Spellman recently
rejected the Northern Tier Pipeline Company's proposal to build a large oil port at
Port Angeles and a pipeline which would
span 30 miles of environmentally-sensitive
Puget Sound.
He based hi s decision on the recommendations of the State Energy Facility
Site Evaluation Council. That council
recommended rejection of the proposal in
a decision whi ch included (according to
the Tacoma New Tribune 4/9) 44,lXlO
pages of hearing testimony and other
documents .
The pipeline would traverse the
northern tier states, ending in Minnesota .
All the other states have accepted
Northern Tier's application and attacked
Spellman's decision as a collection of
lame excuses for localized reasons .
Of course, Washington would be the
only one of these states with an underwater section of the pipeline, and Spellman has been quoted as saying that Port
Angeles residents would be subject to an
unprecedented risk of explosion and fire .
Loca li zed reasons? Most definitely, but
hardly lame excuses.
Reagan's admini stration , w ith the help
of like-minded Washington Republicans,
put immense pressure on Spellman to go
against the Coun cil's recommendations.
Secretary of State Haig and Secretary of
Defense W einberger tried to sway the
governor but he held fast
In response to Spellman's rejection of
the proposa l, U .S. Secretary of Energy and
former denti st james Edwards said, " It is a
sad day when a major energy project from
which Americans would benefit is deni ed
to t hem ." He added, "Each and every
state has a responsi bility to the nation to
w hich it belof1gs. " (TN T 4/ 9)

I n a scene remi niscenf of the days of
imperi al glory, thousands of Briton s
waved flags and shouted encouragement
as a naval task force left Portsmouth,
Monday, April S, to reclaim the Falkland
Islands from Argentina .
Argentina invaded the South Atlantic
islands, 450 miles off her southern coast,
on April 2. A handful of Royal Marines
withstood the nearly 4,(J(X)..man invasion
force for several hours before capitulating.
Great Britain has dispatched a 40vessel task force, including two aircraft
carri ers, and possibly nucl ear submarines;
w hile Argentina has prepared to defend
the islands " at any cost," reinforcing the
original invasion force and calling up
reserves.
On W ednesday, April 7, Britain announced a naval blockade of the islands.
Any Argentine warships or support vessels
found within a 200-mile radius of the
islands would be " treated as hostile and
are liable to .be attacked by British
forces," said British Defense Secretary
John Nott in a speech to Parli ament.
.(P-I, 4/ 8) I
Argentina responded by declaring a
"South Atlantic theater of operations" in
the same area, stating that any vessel
considered hostile to Argentina security
would be. attacked .
While the contestants have attempted
with these actions to threaten each other
into back ing down, diplomatic activity
has reached a frenzy. Both sides claim
they wish to avoid military conflict and
reach a negotiated settlement, all the
while refusing to concede an inch.
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
has stated that Britain will not negotiate
until the occupation force has been
removed. The Argentine Interior Minister
General Alfredo Saint Jea.n, has declared
that "the Argentine position is final and
definitive." (Seattle Times 4/ S)
The conflict over the islands is rooted
in the finest traditions of imperial rivalry.
Britain and 5pain both laid claim to the
islands, and came close to war over therr
in 1770. An ambiguous settlement was
reached that lasted until 1810, when t he
Argentines declared independence from
Spain. By 1820 the Spanish were gone,
and the new republic claimed sovereignt~
over the islands.

In 1833, the British retook t he islands,
and have held them ever sin ce . The
Argentines have consistently claimed that '
the islands, which they call Islas Malvinas ,
are ri ghtfully theirs.
Within thi s histori cal context, a number
of current issues have helped bring the
crisis to a head ._The fa ct that the waters
around the Falkland s may be ri ch in oil
certainl y in creases the geopolitica l value
of the barren islands . Some experts beli eve the Falklands area may yield up to
2 billion barrels of oi l
Politi ca l instabili ty and in ternal dissension, however, are the main reasons
behind the Argentine move. Argentina has
been under military rule since 1976.
Thousa nds of Argentines have been
arrested or have simply di sappeared since
then.
Recent ly, the military junta has been
cautiously moving toward s a restoration
of some semb lance of democracy . The
officially banned politi cal parties have
become more visible and their activiti es
have been baSically tolerated by the
authorities. Di ssenting voices can be
heard .
Still , the reforms have been far too
slow for the populace Economic troubles,
including a 140% in f lation rate and 1S%
unemp loyment, have added to popular
unrest. On M arch 30, massive st reet
demonstrations took place in Buenos
Aires and other major cities to protest the
econom ic and political conditions.
According to diplomatic sources
reached by the Los Angeles Times , Argentine President General Leopoldo F.
Galtieri was stunned by t he demonstrations, and ordered the invasion in an
effort to distract national attention . This
time-honored political ploy was initially
quite successfu l : banners and flags appeared e" erywhere and people danced in
the streets in an orgy of patriotic
nationalism.
However, enthusiasm has waned and
given way to skepticism over Argentina's
ability to hold the islands if Britain should
commit her full might to retaking them.
And as one Argentine put it : " You can't
eat the Falkland Islands." (Seatt le
Times,4/S)
According to the LA. Times' diplomatic
sources . Ga ltieri seri oll~l v miscalculated
British reaction. -'pparently Galtien ,,~. c(
thought that Britain would prove so wil ling to f ight for the islands.

Galtieri is now in an ext remely vu ln erable politi ca l position . I f' hi s bid for the
islands should fa il, it is doubtfu l th at he
ca n maintain hi s po liti cal position . His
political future "depends on how it all
turns ou t," sa id one key diplomat.
(L.A. Times)
If Ga lti eri should fall, given the current
conditio ns in Argentina, it is entirely
possibl e that the current phase of military
rul e may end as well.
Prime Minister Thatcher ha s also staked
her pol iti ca l future on the Falkl ands issue.
Amid all egations that her government had
adva nce warning of the invasion, Thatcher
responded to opposition ca ll s for her
resignation by saying : No . Now is the
time for resolution and st rength ." (Daily
Olympian, 4/ 5) British Foreign Secretary
Lord Ca rrington has already resigned over
the issue.
Both Argen tina and Britain appear to be
relying on Ameri can support for their
posit ion. Thatcher has claimed that U .S.
Secretary of State A lexandu Haig came to
London as a " fri end and ally, " rather than
as an objecti ve med ialDr, while Argentina
has cited the 1947 Treaty of Rio de
.
janeiro as proof of an American obligation to support Argent ina against "outside
aggression." Indeed, the Falkl and Islands
have brought two nations co nsidered vital
to American security close to open war.
The U .S. positio n in the crisis is very
tenuous. Britain has been Ameri ca's
closest European all y for many years.
With Eu ropean dissatisfaction over America n leadership and foreign poli cy growing,
America's "special 'relationship" with
Britain can on ly become more important.
At a time when the Reagan administration is desperately tryi ng to stem the
insidious flow of "communist subversion"
in Latin America , Argentina's value to the
administrati on as an American ally also
grows.
Galtieri toured the U.S. last summer,
and made a very positive impression on
seni or administration offici'a ls and military
officers as a staunch anti-communist. He
has received warm support from the
admini stration since taking over the
presidency last December.
What is truly distressing is the noticeable lack of U.S. success in persuading
Galtieri from taking an action that is
detrimental to U.S. il'\terests. On the eve
of the InVdSIOn, Presjdent Reagan at:
tempted to convince Galtieri in a lengthy

[lhone conversa tion that the in vas ion
wou ld prove hi ghly detrimental to USArgl:'nti ne relations, but Galtieri went
ahea d anyway.
So far , Galtieri appears t6 have ca ll ed
Reagan's bluff . During the Securi ty Counci l deba te o n the in vas ion , U .N . Ambassador Jea nn e Kirkpatri ck was not present.
The night before, Kirkpatrick had been
guest o f honor at a gala dinner t hrow n by
the Argentine Embassy. Walter Stoessel,
second on ly to Haig at the State Department , was al so present.
Obvious ly, the Reagan admini stration
has no intent ion o f lettin g an in convenient little squabble ove r the Falkl ands
impede its attempts to cement relations
w ith ri ght-w ing Latin American governments such as Argentina's.
The prospects for a diplomati c solutions are sli m, despite the fact t hat neither
side ca n be sure of winning a military
confli ct over the islands.
Seri ous negotiations over the islands
were begun in 1977 , with no progress to
date. The main stumblin g block has been
the 1800 islanders t hemselves, who have
no desire to become Argentines . The
sheep-fa rmin g island community is of
thoroughly Bri t ish descent and li festy le,
right down to the country pubs and
cricket matches on the green, despite
Argen tine attempts to woo t he islanders
and draw them closer to the mainland .
The islanders have rejected every proDOsed solution, even the " Hong Kong"
arrangement favored by the Briti sh. This
solu tion would cede forma l sovereignty
over the islands to Argentina, w hi ch
wou ld then lease the islands to Britain for
a lengthy amount of time, thus ensuring
British control and administration .
So w hil e Haig shuttles back and forth
attempting to defuse the crisis, the
rhetoric on both sides grows more bellicose, the Royal Navy steams closer to the
Falklands, and the deadline for a diplomatic solution draws near.
The Falkland Islands crisis is a grotesque
w itches brew, combining the wrost elements of 20th century geopoli tics and
19th century imperialism and nationalism.
If major loss of li fe were not such a
serious possibility, the situation wou ld
resemble nothing so 'much as a grand
farce, a hollow pageantry of anachronistic
glories. Where are Rudyard Kipling and
Teddy Roose'velt when we need them .

fhe first song on the album, The Thi ngs
That Dreams Are Made Of, is by far the
best song on the album . Seconds and Do
or Die are also excell ent songs. The
Human League have done what very few
groups have done in the past, and that is
to put together a great album of only
synthesizers and vocal s. Kraftwerk is the
only other band that I ca n think of, that
has been able to meld the two together
w ithout someone complaining about the
artif iciality of the sound .
The Human League succeed where
Depeche Mode, Soft Call , and O rchestral
Manoeuvres in the Dark either fail, or
wallow in the artifi ciality of the sounds
they produce.
Surpri sin gly, these three bands have
already released thei r new albums in the
United States around the same time that
they were released in Britain . Dare was
released here just recently, but has been
availabl e as an import for many months.
If you on ly buy ten albums this year, Dare
should be one of them .

Life In
By Karen Heuvel
[

I've just got everything in perfect order
and then, in walks my roommate .. . Patsy
the slob. A few bars from the theme of
laws would be appropriate for this
in troduction.
Patsy walks through the door at 5
minutes after 5 o'clock and proceeds to
trash the house with the incredible speed
of a Kansas Tornado .
'
After slinging her coat over the sofa
and I ighting a cigarette, Patsy begin s to
di ssect the daily paper in search of the
comi cs, and then abandons the mess of
scattered newsprint to rinse out yesterday's coffee from her mug. Once settled
in the easy chair Patsy removes her shoes
to reveal a pair of mismatched socks she
has been wearing for two days.
Patsy's habits cater to the I ife of a slob.
I guess I am what some people refer to as
a neat-freak; I can't help myself. I foll ow
Patsy around with a washcloth in one
hand and a mop in the other. I split hairs
over bread crumbs on the counter or a
book misaligned on the shelf.
What is a neatfreak doing living with a
woman like Patsy Hannagan you ask?
Well , it was a desperate situation . My
best friend Carla call ed me from Vermont
to ask if I could give her sister a plac~ to

n Ti
stay until she found a house (that was six
weeks ago) and being the kind, warmhearted person that I am I said, "Of
course, Patsy can stay with mel"
As I have just mentioned Patsy has
been living with me for six weeks. It on ly
took her two weeks to create the condi tion her room is in today . There are heaps
of clothes scattered throughout the
room, barely revealing the color of the
carpet . An array of miscell aneous items
have accumu lated under the bed alon g
with half of a fro zen TV dinner. The
dresser is decorated with clothes that
were flung ca reless ly into it in an attempt
to sort the clean clothes from the dirty
ones (whi ch she does by scooping them
off th e floor and smell ing the pits of each
shirt) . Her st ereo I S st rategically located at
the head of her bed so she ca n reac h over
and fumbl e through the variety of tapes
that were spilled onto the floor three
weeks ago in a fit of desire to find her
" Devo" tape. Thi s is her " morning wakeup musi c" to get her going, she says. She
usually li stens to one side of the tape,
crawls out of bed and head s for the bathroom. Patsy drags out everything that was
put away the night before: blowdryer,
toothpaste, hot roll ers, electric toothbrush,
zit cream , etc . This really annoys me to
walk into an electrical spaghetti factory
left behind a walking light-bright.

After the bathroom Patsy makes her
way to the kitchen. Patsy loves to cook
and is the only one I know who ca n
create a busboy's nightmare in less than
an hour.

This is a routine I have become accustomed to for six weeks and as soon as she
finds a hou se I will personally call a bulldozer to help her move .
