Dennis Heck: Greener 'Graduate Goes Governmental
by Francisco A Chateaubriand
The Evergreen State College (TESC),
often the target of anti-Evergreen bi lis
from the state .legislature, has a muchneeded friend in state government. He is
democratic House Majority Leader Dennis
Heck. Heck is one of three Evergreen
graduates currently in office and is easily
the most visible. He was appointed House
Majority Leader beginning this term after
serving four years as a representative of
the 17th district in southwest Washington.
Heck began working for the House of
Representatives as a committee .clerk
while still a student at Evergreen in 1973.
After graduating he returned home to
Vancouver, Washington, where he held a
series of positions relating to education
and politics. In 1976, he was elected to
. the House of Representatives for the 17th
district.
Since his first term in 1977, Heck has
held a variety of positions within the
House Democratic Caucus culminating,
"depending on one's point of view" says
Heck, with the position of House Majority
Leader.
In the first of a two-part interview,
Heck discusses his experiences at Evergreen: where it's been, where it's going
and what direction, in his opinion, it
should be going.
(P): Let's discuss Evergreen and your
experiences there. Do you feel Evergreen

can get in there and bring these people
together when an issue comes before the
legislature that directly affects their rights
as students of our public education
system.
CPI: There have been many attempts by
various legislators in the past to close
Evergreen and turn it into a minimum

year or every two years, and really when
we started that's what we were doing, a
what's-going-to-be-our-coordinated-studiesthis-year kind of approach. That's not
reasonable, especially today for people
coming in as freshmen and sophomores.
They need to know and have some
reasonable assurance that they can progress through some level of instruction
progressively more challenging in some
fields. That was not being done then but
it is being done more today.
Something that was not done then and
is not done today that is a grievous disappointment to me is the lack of ambition
among the Evergreen administration,
particularly faculty, to take advantage of
its proximity to the seat of state govern-

fail to support any of these things that I
feel contribute to helping Evergreen be a
healthy college environment. In fact, I'm
very proud that one of the things I think I
can take a modest degree of personal
credit for is the soccer field .
CP): The new soccer field you meanl
Heck : Right. The new one. I don't think
that would have happened without my
extra effort.

CP): Do you see Evergreen as having
become somewhat of a political force or
having increased influence within the
legislature?
Heck: The threat to Evergreen has not
passed by the wayside. The '80'5 will be a
very volatile period of time from the
standpoint of what state government can
or cannot do. I expect some smoothening
out in the way we approach things around
here, but let's face it, it's an era of limits .
Our economy is sick and it's not going to
get well overnight. We're never going to
return to the glory days of the 70s' when
~e sources were expanding so rapidl v
around here the creative question.; were
" how are we going to spend this money

some parts to deal with the issue . Now,
we have several things to our advantage:
increasing numbers of graduates, some of
whom find thei r way into the legis lature,
Illany of whom find their way onto the
legis lative staff, which is a greilt bonus to
that college, more so than most people
realize. We have a president who is a
member of the Republican party and it s

clnd thus far we've been abl e tn opal with
thl' issue of closing Evergreen lor what It

I'm concerned that if Dan [EVelnS] does
not take another appointment as preSident
of Evergreen, we will be very vulnerable
for a period of time. There will be a
"window of vulnerability ," if YOll wil l, and
I don't think we're out of the woods yet.
When I say " we" I mean Greener" us
Greeners. We've got to be responsive to
the legislature. We need to work close ly
with the legi slature. We've got to be sensitive and we've got to be smart politically
and we just have to let time take its
course. After a certain amount of time
there will be no threat of closure. I mean
after there are 40 bejillion alumni, it
won't be an issue, but we're not there yet.
Next week's segment will focus on
Heck's involvement in the legislature, both
past and present, and a frank discussion
on the many problems and issues facing
Washington State.

SPECIAL
The Use of Human Subjects Policy was
written and approved in January of 1979.
Its purpose is to protect human subjects
who are participants in research activities.
Many of you are well aware of the policy,
but this note is inte nded to refresh
memories .
Responsibility for review and approval
of proposed studies is vested in the
Human Subjects Review Board . The
faculty or director of proposed research
activities is responsible for sending proposals to the Human Subjects Review
Board. It is the obligation of the investigator to bring any proposed activity involving the use of human subjects to the
attention of the respective faculty member, supervisor or dean .
Following is the process by which proposals will be reviewed :
1. Proposals are received in Lib 2211,
including a completed Human Subiects
Review Form and a sample consent form
plus a draft of any questionnaire(s) being
used . The forms are passed to John Perkins
for review .
2. If the proposal is not a controversial
one, Perkins will approve or disapprove it.
himself and inform the investigator by
memo. If the proposal is controversial,
copies are sent to all HSRB members for
their review and comment.
3. If the proposal i s unanimousl y
approved by the Board members, the
investigator is notified by memo from
John Perkins; if there is dissent among the
Board members, Perkins will call a meeting
of the Board to work out a resolution .
4. If the Board disapproves a proposal,
it will be returned to the investigator with
comments as to why it was not approved .
John Perkin 's memo of approval to the
investigator will indicate what records
must be kept during the study. Members
of the Board will not sit in review of their
own proposa ls. The Board will respond to
a proposal within 15 working days. Blank
forms are available in Lib 2211. Contact
John Perkins if you have any questions.

" Don't expect to get back anything
from the government except what you
give it. If what you give it is the blind
obedience of sheep, then expect to be
treated like sheep," said David Harris at a
panel discussion entitled "Draft Resistance: Past and Present."
the discussion, which was held at the
University of Washington on Wednesday,
January 19, featured some of the country's
most outspoken opponents of the draft
'lnd registration from the Vietnam era to
the present. The event was sponsored by
Registration Age People (RAP) and Students Against U .S. Intervention in EI
Salvador (SAUSIESl, and in cluded Roberto
Maestas, Steve Clements, David Harris
and David Wayte.
Maes tas attended the University of
Washington for seven years, was a Vietnam era anti -war act ivist and Chicano
student organi zer. He was the found er

Clements is a member of Veterans for

was a U .S. Army draftee stat ion ed in
Vietnam from 1%9 to 1970.
Harri s was a Stanford student body
president and Vietnam anti-war activist.
He se rved 20 months in federal prison for
refusing indu ction. He is currently a
jo urnalist for the New York Times Magazin e. He authored the book Dreams Die
Hard.
W ayte, the featured panelist, was the
third person in the United States to be
indicted for refusing to register with the
Selective Service, a law signed by Presi -

On foreign policy :
" America's leadership in this world
came to us because of our own strength
and because of the values which guide us
as a society: free elections, a free press,
freedom of religious choice, free trade
unions, and above all freedom of the individual and rejection of the arbitrary power
of the state. These values are the bedrock
of our strength. They unite us in a stewardship of peace and freedom with our
alli es and friends in NATO, in Asia, in
Latin America, and elsewhere. From the
Middle East to Southern Africa to Geneva,
American diplomats are taking the initiative to make peace and lower arms levels .
We should be proud of ou,' role as peacemakers. In Central America, we are likewise engaged in a partnership for peace,
prosperity and democracy. The security
and economic assistance policies of this

a criti r al investment in the future of the

On export trade:
"We must have adequate export financing to sell American products overseas . I

TESC student and Evergreen Political
I nformation Center volunteer

In the Nuremburg war criminals trials,
the principle was established that people
are obligated to violate the law of the
land and defy constituted authority, if
those laws and that authority are immoral
and wrong. The United States government
and its allies executed people for failing
to break laws and defy authority. Now the
United States government is preparing to
reduce me and hundreds of thousands of
my brothers to third-class citizens,
because we refuse to obey a law which
we believe would compel us to wrongfully
kill, or cooperate in the killing of, human
beings.
State Representative Gene Struthers
(R-Walla Walla) is not a harmless, lone
extremist; his bill requiring students of
state-funded schools to be registered for
the draft is not a harmless joke. U.S. Representative Gerald Solomon (R-NY) has
amended bills that require recipients of
federal financial aid and federal job training to be registered for .the draft. Both of
these bill s passed and are now law. Let
me emphasize this: according to The
Evergreen State College (TESC) Director of
Financial Aid , in an interview on Jan. 23,
as things stand now the college will be
unable to give you a Pell Grant, BEOG,
NDSL, GSL, or Work Study, if you should
be registered and aren' t. One of Solomon's
aides has said that Solomon intends to
amend every bill appropriating funds for
publi c assistance which appears before
Congress, so that registration for the draft
would be a requirement for eligibility. His
sucress rate so far is 100%.
What are the impli cations of these
laws1 For many people, no federal aid
means no higher education . For most
peopl e, no state-fund ed schools means no
higher education . No higher edu cation
means little chance of getting a decent
job; no federal job training means less
chance. No federal publi c assistance
mea ns li tt le chance of living well, or even
decently, whi le strugglin g to get and hold
a low-paying, insecure job. So, for obeying ou r consc iences we are deprived of
the opportunity to educate and improve
ourselves, redu ced to near poverty or
worse, an d considered unworthy even of
charity.
The sentence is harsh, and the method
of conviction worse. Apparently our crime
of conscience so threatens the power of
the government that they must suspend
civil liberties in order to deter it. All of
the schemes so far proposed for enforCi ng
the Solomon laws, including the mechanism by which the TESe Director of
Financial Aid believes will be used to
determine financial aid eligibility, involve
requiring non-registrants to confess on an
application form7 and then double-checking with the Selective Service (SS). There's

Abortion Is A Matter
no Question of a trial of any kind; the
only evidence is the assertion of the
government bureaucracy, which overrides
the defendant's compulsory but irrelevant
declaration of guilt or innocence. That
kind of kangaroo justice is intolerable. In
fact, it's one of the nightmares invoked
by those who say we must have an army
large enough to intervene (that is, invade
and rule by force) Latin American countries to prevent the "communists" from
tak i ng over.
But really, our government doesn't w1mt
to treat its subjects so harshly; it would
rather they cooperated peacefully And
it's taking steps to insure that in the future
they do. For instance, there's the law
allowing the army to set up Junior Reserve
Officer Training Corps, (JROTC) in the
high schools. These JROTC's are multiplying yearly . It is claimed that their purpose
is to develop a respect for the role of the
U .S. Army in support of national objectives, an appreciation of the requirements
of national security, and responsiveness to
constituted authority which will better
prepare them for the futu re .
Just in case that doesn't work, there's a
law authorizing the Department of
Defense to "obtain and compile directory
information pertaining to students enrolled in secondary schools throughout
the United States;" ... "directory information" means the student's name, address,
telephone listing, date and place of birth,
(etc ... ) There's nothing in the bill that ,
limits the list to males. Indeed, everybody
unlucky enough not to have graduated
from high school before this bill was
passed may eventually end up on that list.
That's everybody, from now on .
Of course the list is supposed to only
be used for " recruitment purposes. " However, similar limitations on the use of
information written into the bills which
created Social Security and the IRS
haven't prevented the SS from using information from these sources to find and
harass non-registrants.
Why is the government so intent on
coercing and cajoling people into going
along with draft regi stration, and on
punishing those who won't I The SS seems
to be able to find as large a proportion of
names, ages and addresses through consulting various lists already at hand as it
can by soli citing vo luntary contributions
(although with frightening implicatons of
its own). The Military Manpower Task
Force's December 15, 1981, report to the
president says that current registration
laws would save only two weeks over a
well -rehearsed and prepared for postmobili zation draft; in either case the
newly inducted troops would not be available unti I after three months of lega lly
required training.
The real purpose of the government's
registration policy is not to sustain
adequate military preparedness, but to
impress upon the minds of the people the
idea th at the decision as to what is right
and what shou ld and will be fought for
lies in the hands of a few select leaders,
and that everyone else's duty is to unquestioningly follow and support such
decisions . This idea is the antithesis of
democracy and I hope that we will not
quietly accede to it.

Fiscal Crisis: Which Way Nowl
by Dan Gorham
No one really knows if David planned
his fatal assault upon Goliath, or whether
it was a spontaneous affair. While spontaneity may add a slice of romance to
the event, it is thoughtful contemplation
which gives action a sense of legitimacy .
As Washington's 48th legislature begins to
tackle this state's ominous unemploment
problem, legislators are working hard on
legitimacy.
Faced with an unemployment rate
which lingers around 13%, a figure which
more personally translates to 265,000 jobless workers, these legislators face some
difficult days ahead. The choices in
developing a recovery strategy are indeed
profound; their decisions will likely pro-

vide an outline for Washington's economic future.
Depending upon where the legislature
places its emphasis, Washington could
begin transforming its economy towards
high technology, manufacturing, international trade, or tourism. While the likely
scenario will involve a combination of
these endeavors, their development will
be costly and the legislature must dictate
the state's role in financing this revitalization.
Two weeks ago Governor Spellman proposed a $20 million budget provision for
jobs and economic development. His
proposal included the creation of a
Washington Conservation Corps which, at
$2 million, would provide short-term job.s

Friday, January 21 , they stood on the edge
of Sylvester Park with banners expressing
their dissatisfaction .
The noon rally, which was ca lled "The
Human Billboard" by its organizers,
Olympians Against Intervention in EI
Salvador, attracted little notice from
pedestrians but drew horn blasts from cars
passing on Cap itol Way. Group spokesperson Tom Nogler said that th e group
wanted to show their dissatisfaction with
recent government findings on improvements in EI Salvador's human rights
policies.
Nogler said, " I think the United States

Government is pretending to be concerned about human rights violations in EI
Salvador, but they really are looking the
other way "
The Olympians Against Intervention
said that they are presently getting an
area canvas together and hope to coll ect

zones are areas of land that are now in

Sunday, January 16, 2S(}'300 people
concerned with the -continual escalation
of the arms race gathered at the main
gate outside McChord Air Force Base.
They were there to protest the testing of
the cruise missile at the base and to show
support for the European peace
movement.
The late afternoon vigil at McChord
was organ ized by chapters of the Women's
International League for Peace and Freedom and the ,Feliowship of Reconciliation.
Two buses from Seattle as well as car
pools from Tacoma and Olympia brought
protesters. There was a very serene and
peaceful feeling in the air that was
occasionally broken by the blare of car
horns and shouting from cars as they
entered the base. At one point someone
yelled, "You're all communists . .. Go back
to Russia!"
The protesters carried signs and as dusk
approached they lit candles and softly
sang anti-war songs. One of the songs,
Strangest Dream, expressed the general
feeling of those gathered:

A leaflet, passed out by the organizers
of the rally, said , "We are making a positive statement about peace by our
presence at the base. If we act and reac t
out of this conviction, then we shou ld
encounter little resi stance or difficulty.
Remember: Gandhi said that 'your best
ally is the part of your adversary that
knows what is right. "
The crui se missiles are being tested at
McChord and nearby Fort Lewis because
conditions in this area resemble those in
Western Europe.

African Rhythms The Pulse Of The Future
Many people have turned to Africa to
find new musical styles and content.
Although older artists like joni Mitchell,
Paul M cCartney, Mick Fleetwood, and
Ginger Baker and newer groups like Adam
and the Ants, Bow Wow Wow and the
Talking Heads have discovered African
artists and tried to adapt thei r own styles
with African influences in the past,
record companies, critics and listeners are
only just now discovering the great depth
and liability of African musicians

by Oavid Gaff
After the death of Bob Marley, an unofficial contest broke out among many
reggae stars as to who would take over
Marley's crown as rul er of reggae. This
contest was short lived and ended with
no real winner Marley, besides being a
~ta r in hi s own right, had developed a
worldwide interest in reggae, Rastafarianism, and jamai ca.
Although jamaica is a small island, it
has yielded a large number of excellent
musicians. A majority of the musicians in
Jamaica at the present time are probably
involved in at least one band, and have
probably recorded at one time in their
life. Although reggae musicians have
prowd their ability , there have not really
been any radical changes in their style of
plil\ ing and content of songs in the past
1<'\\ \'t'M'i . The loss of Marley and lack of
nl"'" ,11 innovation in j amdica has made
the r,', ord compani es, criti cs, and average
II 'ilen('r th ink about whe[l~ to look to for
np\~ 11111,ICal '> tyl es.

A major setback to the listener who
wants to find out more about African
artists is that most record stores don't
stock albums from that area of the world .
If any African records are in stock, they
usually are cultural in context and could
be close to 20 years old. Although there is
nothing wrong with these recordings, they
are not parti cularly listenabl e to the uninit iated ear sin ce they give a more
hi storical and cultural view of the music
MD'it of the recordings that I have, give
till' impression that African musician s are
not just capabl e of handling traditional

instruments and vocals, but are also just
as profi cient with guitars and keyboards .
Anybody expecting "jungle music" from
" ignorant and unsophisticated savages"
will surely be surprised by the talents of
the African musician .
Africa, because of the colonial nations
which divided up the continent, has more
problems than those of us in the United
States regarding choice of language. Since
Africa was divided up by countries such
as France, England, Belgium, Germany,
and Italy, most of the groups have to
decide what language is most appropriate
to sing in. Besides foreign languages, the
individual bands may speak in regional
dialects that naturally developed in the
area. To avoid the language problem,
many bands choose to sing in either
French or English so as to reach the
biggest audience. This language problem
unfortunately forces the bands to rely
more on Western traditions than on ,loca l
o nes. . .
.
. '
Although Africa is a large co ntinent
with a great many countries, peoples,
languages, cultures, and mu sica l styl es,

Arts & Events =======

only three countries dominate the musical
scene (at least from what I've heard).
These three countries are : Ghana,
Cameroun, and lastly but most importantly, Nigeria.

Friday
Frlcay Nl9ht Films presents "Dance, Girl,

at 3 p.m., 7 p.m., and 9 :30 p.m . In Lecture Hall
One. The film stars Maureen O'Hara, lucille Ball,
and Ralph Bellamy. Admission Is $1 .50 .

Possibly the most important and popular African musician is Nigeria's Fela
Anikulapo Kuti. Fela is at least as popular
and political (if not more) as Bob Marley
was in jamaica. Kuti and his band, the
Africa 70, usually only have one or two
songs per side. He has reportedly recorded
well over 40 albums. In 1974, the police
raided Fela's compound-state called
Kalakuta Republi c Africa, and Fela was
injured . Although Fela has recorded many
albums over the years, his Black President
album rel ~ased in 1981 gained him recognition in England, Europe, and a small
following here in America.
Fela's band (on album) usually numbers
between 20 and 30 people. Fela's music
usually centers around three- instruments:
saxophone, piano, and shekere (percussion), and vocals. On hi s 1981 release,

The Democrats' attempt to promote
small businesses in Washington is a
healthy idea . The US Department of
Labor reports that over one-half of all new
jobs created between 1969 and 1977 were
with compani es of 20 employees or less.
However, in comparing Washington's
potential for small busi nesses with other
'>tates', the result is far less optimistic.
The Conferen ce of State Manufacturer's
Associations commi ss ioned a Certified
Puhlic Accountant (CPA) firm to study the
" relative attractiveness to manufacturers
of the general business climate of the 48
lon tigu ous states ." Washington ranked
37th in that study, largely due to the fact
thn t Washington and Mi chi gan were the
on ly two states where the average wage
wa, in excess of $9 per hour.
i{pvitalization of W ashington's economy
may bt' more diffi cult than either the
Dt'mocrats or Republicans would care to
admi t. Washington's Department of Commerce and Economi c Development
(WDCED) reports that several factors limit
Washington's recovery : " Nati onal attitudes
about Washington (include) high rates of
unionism, high wage rates , accelerating
energy cos ts, corner of the national
market place, cl imate, and dominance of
aerospace
Altho ugh many legislators would like to
Ihink a healthy dose of high tec hnology
int o the state would provide the painless
curC', that event does not seem likely The
WDCI-D further reports "Californ ia and
M Jssachusctt s have a major advantage in
attrac ling high techno logy firms due to
advanced research fa ciliti es in the Boston
ond San Francisco Bay area . Although
Wa,hington has a quality educat ional
system, it does not have the type of
university researc h facilities located in
those states. "
While the immediate news has not
been optimisti c, the WDCED has also outlined Washington's strengths . These
include a quality educational system, a
productive and skilled work to rce, an
eff icient transportation network and well
developed port facilities. The WDCED
also targeted specific industries likely to
locate o,r expand in Washington. This list
includes electronics, biomedical products,
food processing and advanced synthetic

While the Democrats may indeed be
planning for the future, they must negotiate the financing now. Over $10 million
of their proposal is supported from the
state's General Fund, yet there has been
no indication of where this additional
revenue is to come from .
Rumors of a two percent increase in the
state sales tax , or the possibility of a state
income tax have thus far remained
rumors . The majority of the Democrat's
proposal is fiscally sou nd . Each program
has a built-in finance mechanism. The
Retraining and Re-employment Program,
for example, will be funded by an annual
assessment on employers and employees
in Washington: " An assessment of 1/ 20 of
. one percent on the current unemployment tax base. This would cos t employers
and employees $5.04 a year per worker
and would provide a $12 million to $13
million annual t raining fund ."
The Public Pensi':>n Invest ment Program
will involve $500 million in mortgage note
investments every two yea rs. A Pensio n
Guarantee Fund of $25 million will be
es tablished to protect any losses in interest earned. Governor Spellman , however,
has speci fi ca lly opposed any use of the
state's public pension fund to finance low
interes t mortgages.
As legislators ponder these fa cts and
figures, the realization that there is no
simple solution is evident. Washington's
economy is distinct from the remainder of
the U.S. in a number of ways . The most
Signifi ca nt at the moment is th at we cannot depend upon an upturn in the
national economy to do anythi ng in
W ashington. Economic development must
be ini tiated from within the state. Whil e
any revitalization proposal is cons idered
benefiCial , legislators must we ight them
in terms of costs to taxpayers and existing
businesses .
The entire legislature agrees that
creat ing jobs and revitali zing Washington's economy is the number one priority
for this session . However, that seems to
be where the general consensus end s.
There has been much talk about ap' proaching this task in a bipartisan spirit,
yet the political nature of economic
development makes this a classic ideological battle and the accompanying rhetoric
a possible contradiction in terms.

Sometime during this quarter a group of
Evergreen women will be heading for fun
and fellowship in the snow.
The group, which calls itself the ' Wild
Water Women," had a potluck and informational meeting at noon on january 21,
at the Organic Farmhouse. This was no
ordinary potluck, however. Some of the
partiCipants were costumed and props
could be seen. It seemed that the audience would not only find out about this
year's retreat in the snow, but would also
be entertained by a slide show, fashion
show and an extremely educational
speech about the symbolic aspects of
women going to the mountains, given by
Lynn Patterson .
One of the participants, who introduced

Murray Lerner on Sunday, January 30 , at 8 p.m.
in the Capitol City Studios, 911 East 4th, downtown Olympia. "From Mao to Mozart" was winner
01 the Academy Award for Best Documentary in
1981 , and features electrifying encounters between concert violinist Isaac Stern and young
Chinese musicians. Admission is $1 .25 for memo
bers and $2.75 for non·members .

Original Sufferhead, his band (besides
himself) included five singers, four guitarists, two bass players, two pianists, four
drummers, two additional percussionists,
and seven horn players. Although his
songs are usually long 'and drawn out,
they are structured and not constantly
repetitive . If you might be interested in
African music but don't know if you'd like
it, Fela Anikulapo Kuti's records would be
the safest bet.
Although Fela's style, often ca lled
Afrobeat, is extremely popular, it is not
the only style in Nigeria. King Sunny Ade
is the leading proponent of Juju Music in
Nigeria. He has just released his first
album here entitled aptly, lulu Music.
This album stayed in Britain's top 20
during most of the end of last year, and
became extremely popular with critics in
this country .
juju Music has its heritage in the traditional music and dance of the Yoruba

could be coincidence.)
The custom began in 1979 when a

Barbara Smith explained the group's

Bookstore's New Manager
By Lesli Welliver
Salvation is in sight for the slowly si nking Evergreen State College student bookstore. After months of treading disorder
and financial turmoil , compounded by a
recent break-in, the tides appear to be
turning. Starting February 1, Denis Snyder
will replace Laura Nole as manager of the
campus bookstore. The college administration is confident that this will improve
the store's ability to meet the needs of
campus consumers.
Denis (yes only one N) is no stranger
to Evergreen or the world of college bookstores. He graduated from Western Washington University where, as a student, he
worked as purchasing agent and- textbook
manager in the student bookstore. His
other experiences include Fort Steilacoom
Community College, Everett Community

College (a store he rescued from total
bankruptcy) and four years as assistant
manager at the bookstore here. He bears
the impressive titl e of President of the
Northwest Association of College
Bookstores.

Manager of Conference Services
Donnagene Ward has been acting as
interim manJger since Ms. Nole left in
September; she worked with the new
manager the last time he was at Evergreen. She expressed the staff's reli ef:
"We're delighted to have such a well
equipped, well read man ." Director of
Auxiliary Services Ken jacob oversees the
bookstore, as well as a r,umber of facili ties on campus, and it is his opinion that

King Sunny Ade, like Fela Kuti, has
recorded at least 40 albums, none of
which "sell less than 200,000 copies." King
Sunny, however, is unlike Fela Kuti in
several ways (at least on this album) . lulu
Music contains seven songs whereas Fela
Kuti's albums usually consist of two or
three. King Sunny uses guitars in place of
Fela's saxophones. Both, however, use
many vocalists, drummers, and percussionists.
Prince Nico Mbarga and Rocafil jazz
also record in Nigeria, but they have a
different background from either King
Sunny and Fela Kuti. Prince Nico was
born to a Cameroun father and Nigerian
mother . He began his musical career in
Cameroun, but later moved to Nigeria
with six other musicians who helped him
form his present band. Prince Nico put
out nine albums prior to the release of his
second album, Sweet Mother, in the
United States in 1980. Sweet Mother, a
four-song album in which the title song
sold over 13 million copies, was on the
top of the Nigerian charts for several
years . Prince Nico's band consists of himself (lead guitar and vocals), two vocalists,
two drummers, a bassist, and a guitarist.
His songs are less dense musically than
Sunny Ade's and Fela' Kuti's, and I find
them a lot more enjoyable .

DATELINE: OLYMPIA
TIME LINE : 1973
Richard Nixon has just been sworn in
for a second term as president; the. OPEC
cartel has brought the industrialized world
to its knees by strict ly limiting oil production and raising prices; Dan Evans is
governor of Washington; the Vietnam
war is dragging into its final days; Americans are lining up for gasoline and freezing in the Midwest; The Evergreen State
College in its third year of operation, and
sti ll under construct ion .
Meanwhile, a small group of students
consider possible call letters for a ten-watt
on-campus FM radio station. The choices
are many and varied ; KESC, KEEF, and
then inspiration strikes. Something eclectic, something oblique. and somet hing
unique-KAOS-FM IS BORN. (At this
point , imagine the theme from E.T.that should be sufficiently dramatic .)
It has now been ten years since the
o r iginal KAOS s t aff, under visionary
manager Dean Katz, Fired up a Gates ten watt transmitter and announced "You're
listening to KAOS, Olympia," inForming
the world of our presence. From a humble
beginning, when the stu dio was little more
than a glorified office consisting of some
plywood ca bine t ry, steel institutional
furniture , and some commercial-grade
audio equipment, KAOS has slowly , but
su rely grown. A successio n of managersKat z, Lee Riback, Lee C hambers, Randy
Harrison, Ca rl Cook, T oni Holm , David
Rauh, Bill Johnston. and Bob Shirleyhave each cont ribut ed large portions of
themselves to promoting the growth and
life of this sta tion , and bringing more and
more people into the KAOS organization.
Each one sha red a specia l interest - programming, production. promotion, engineeri ng, fundraising-that has become
a part of the fabric of the station .
In ten years a lot of memorable events
have created confusion. con troversy ,
delight and excitement through the KAOS
airwaves . They have included The A ll
Night Jam; Community Radio week , and
Mayor's Day; the infamous Alan Ginsberg interview; the Audio Frenzy; Lakefair and Thurston. County Fair remotes;
concerts by Keith Jarret, Ch ick Corea,
Jack DeJohnette, Jim Page, and lots of
local acts; International Women's Day;
and many thousands of hours of regular
programming. Who could Forget "This Is
Your Radio Show "; " Torture Time";
" Musi c for the Squeamish"; "C inem a
Theatre "; " The Classic Hick Show";
"Kidd Rhythm "; and of course. the Trivia
Contest ?
Though the original Gates transmitter is

Attention Jimi Hendrix fans: Radio
KAOS is proud to present a four-part,
four-hour Jimi Hendrix special. Beginning Saturday, February 5, at 9 p.m. and
continui ng For the next three Sa turdays,
KAOS will air o ne hour of this fo ur-part
·special.
Hosts Don West, Craig Streep, and
Barry Scott recount Jimi's career, from his
early years as a studio musician to his
death. Interviews with such people as Eric
Burdon, AI Hendrix, John McLaughlin,
Velvet Turner , and Noel Redding and Jimi
himself chronicle Jimi's personal management problems as well as his rise to fame.
Along with intelligent, informative
commen tary and interviews, this special
showcases rare and unreleased live and
studio material. This material includes
demo tapes recorded by Hendrix of music
he was developing for future albums: a
recording of his last public performance;
a jam session with Eric Bourdon ; and
material that was recorded in Electric
Ladyland for an album that was never
finished . An engineer from Ladyland
breaks down Dolly Dagger to its basic
tracks and shows how the recording was
put together and mixed down. In addition
to this unreleased material , import and
rare versions of released material are
featured.
Week one will document Jimi's first
exposure to music up to the forming of
the jimi Hendrix Experience. The second
week will cover the rock and roll that

I

still with us (in the basement, gathering
dust), and original KAOS staffer probably
wouldn't recognize the 'station as it is
today. KAOS has gone from ten watts
(1973) to .two-hundred fifty watts (1975)
to 1500 watts (1980). The studios, redesigned and rebuilt From floor to ceiling b y
volunteers, are now comparable with
most broa dcast facilities. Even the filing
system makes sense. The record library
now conta in s over 10, 000 discs; the
a rchives hold hundreds of hours of taped
programming.
Most of all, KAOS has reached into the
lives of people. Thousands of p ublic
serv ice and enterta inmen t announcements
have been made in ten years. Over a
thousand people have come through the
doors and been a part of t he operating
staff. Hundreds of musicians and gues ts
have made themselves heard on the 89 .3

megahertz carrier. Most important of allthousands have listened, and contributed,
and become active participants in the
process of community radio .
Yes, KAOS IS DIFFERENT -and we' re
proud to be! We may mispronounce the
name of your favorite composer; we may
give you a udio "glurps"; we may not
always play music you care fo r, particularly; we may not give you the weather
every hour o n the hour. What we do give
you is unique radio wit h a human face , a
hum a n voice, w ith human strengths and
weaknesses. This is rad io that happens
because you can pa rticipate and make it
happen - radio that is never dull and
predictable, because the people that create
it are not. As broadcasting becomes
mechanized, digitized , compu terized , and
merchandised , as let ters and numbers o n
a ledger sheet beco me more importanl

than those on the playlist , community
radio holds out the hope and the promise
that people can and do make a difference .
So, from all of us who have been or
are KAOS staff- thank you for listening .
For thes.e first three months of 1983, we
want to offer you something from us to
you-our best. We hope you en joy th e
Alive in O lympia series, the Hendri x
series, dnd the other goodies we've lined
up for you. We look forward to prospering and matu ring as we enter this second
decade of our existence, so that we can
serve you better in the years 10 come .
Now more than ever. community rad io IS
you tool , for entertainment, informa tion
learning and parti cipatio n . Please com~
and join us .
Thank you all from the staff and
management of KAOS-FM

Since I never write a program description for my Tuesday morning show , I
have been asked to write an article about
my musical background. This info rmation
may give you some idea of what to expect
when you tune in on Tuesday mornings .
I have been doing programs a l KAOS
since early 1978 . I was enro lled in the
Counlry Music program at The Evergreen
State College at th e time . Working at
KAOS was a good opport unit y for me to
li sten to a lot of the music that I was
learning abou t in my program I have
visited many NFCB stations around the
country a nd KAOS is blessed with the
best reco rd co ll ect ion of o bsc ure records
that I have ever seen. I grew up in and
aro und the New Yurk City area . The
music I listened to was what I call top 40
FM. At that time in the early sixties it was
the Beatles, Lovin' Spoonful, Niel Young,
Jo ni Mitchell, etc. When I moved to
Vermon l in 1972 I ga l my first introduction 10 acoustic music. I heard Duc
Watson play the Black Mountain Rag
with Vassar Clements and this changed
my musica l direction . Will the Circle Be
Unbroken was the name of th e album .
The 3-record set sold o ver 12 million
copies and was one of th e most successf ul
country album s in history . It was our first
introductio n to coun try music for a lot of
us "city kids." As a young aspiring guitar
player I jumped from James Taylor songs
to Bluegras s. Some g uy in Vermont
wanted to sell his banjo so I told him I
would buy it if he taught me everyt hing

he knew . He didn 't know much but I
learn ed wha l I co uld and bough I the
banjo. Back Ihc-n I thought foggy moun tain brea kdown wa s t he ha rdesl lun e in
the wor ld . I ca me to T ESC in 1975 a nd
after a sho rt career in Ihe natural sciences
coup led w it h a bi g broken hear! , I was
rea dy 10 play music. I enro ll ed in th e
cou ntry music program in the ta ll of 1078.

THE LIFT-OFF SHOW

I start every show with an instrumental because there's a lot of good ones out
there. Then I'll play something like XXOO, Atilla the Stockbroker, Faith, John's
Children or Sister Nancy . This is followed by your typical Bad Religion/Tracey
Thorn~Void/Saccharine TrustiNeats/Factrix type of stuff, and then for a change of
pace, I II throw In some Gladiators, Chris Moffa, Crass, Descendants and Dangerous
Birds. Then to top it all off, I use the basic Fall, Big Boys, Red Cross and Diamanda
Galas grand finale. No new music, but sometimes new people are doing it.

TradeWith Japan Is Not Just Cars

~'"
.. ~

by Carney Combs

IZ ~

~,."

Plans are being made to regularize the
exchange between faculty from The Evergreen State College (TESC) and professors
from the Kobe University of Commerce in '
Japan. A letter has been sent from college
President Dan Evans to President Toyhara
of Kobe, suggesting an annual faculty
trade.
The proposal is expected to be accepted, said college Provost Byron Youtz:
"One of their faculty, Mitsuharu Mitsui
[teaching here now], has told us that the'
Kobe University wants an annual trade.
Several faculty members are eager to
participate."
As has been arranged before, the Evergreen faculty would visit japan during the
spring and summer quarters and the
japanese professor would be at TESC to
.teach in the fall and winter quarters. Since
the japanese school is a university of
commerce, their professors will, for the
most part, be experts in business and
economics. The Americans involved in
the exchange have been teachers in
history, economics, and English literature.
There are benefits all around according
to Youtz: "It's good for Evergreen students
to have contact with people of a different
cultural setting, to help understand the
other culture. The faculty of Evergreen get
to know something about japanese culture, food, language, and they get to go
on tours, The Kobe professors form long
term contact with American culture and
language. The students of Kobe learn a lot
about international trade so this is a
chance for them to get a taste of America."
Housing for the visiting faculty is provided by the hosting college, but the
salaries are provided by their own schools.
Already, two japanese professors and
two from TESC have participated in
exchanges. Besides learning about the culture and countryside of their temporarily
adopted countries, they found some very
fundamental differences in educational
philosophy.
The first Evergreen faculty member to
go to the Kobe University was Richard
Alexander. He stayed in Kobe in the
spring and summer of 1980. While there,

break away from notions of how students
should ask questions We tried to draw
,hem out," Alexander explained, "But they
lust aren't accustomed to being encouraged to speak out."
The Japanese educational system is
quite different from America's in its
expectations. Alexander described these
differences in depth : "First of all, most
college students sign up for about 11

he taught American literature and American Culture. These classes were conducted
in English . As a teacher accustomed to
the outspoken, and very often opinionated,
Evergreen student, he was in for a change
when dealing with japanese students.
"japanese discussion takes the form of
suggestions , The last thing they want to
do is produce conflict. I insisted on discuss ion in class. It worked in my American Lit class but not in the American
Culture class. Tom [Rainey, tlie other

classes at a time and weed out which
ones they want to stick with. They often
hire each other to take notes at lectures
.hey themselves don't attend. Often these
students are taking notes for several
students at the same time. They attend
the first day to get an idea of what the
class is about, assignments, book lists
etc., and then don't show up until the
examinations . This is well known to all
the faculty. Some faculty members don't
tolerate this behavior and the students
know who's 'severe' in this way.
" Part of the reason for this is that being
in college is not a stress ful situation
[while] getting in is. Whether you pass the
entrance exam or not sets your place in
the japanese social hierarchy . Their edu cational experience is geared to this
event.
" japanese grade and high schools are
excruciatingly difficult by the standards of
the U.S. and most of the world . At the
age of seven or eight, the pressure starts
to build on japanese kids to do well in
schools, especially if the families or kids
want to attend college.
"To make thi s all the more difficult
they have four distinct methods of writing. Romaji is a form that uses Roman
characters. There are two sys tem~. of
Kana: one for foreign words and one for
japanese words. fhere is also Kanji characters for Chinese words. These are
systems of syllabary, each character
stands for a syllable. Language is taught
through rote memorization . Because of
thi s they have one of the highest literacy
rates in the world.
"By the time they are in high sc hool ,
they have to have a wide-based knowl ~ge in all subjects. Most knowledge is
learned through rate memorization,"

" In America, it's almost the opposite The
pressure isn't turned on until a student
reaches co llege and then they work hard ."
During their college years, it is very
important for students to choose a
mentor. A member of their juni or or
senior faculty usually fill this role . They
are called sensei and act as guardians to
the students. Arranged marriages are also
very much a part of modern japanese li fe ,
and the se nsei act as marriage brokers.

Tom Rainey and Nina Carter went to
Kobe during the spring and summer of
1982, returning in September. They noted
the same differences between japanese
students and Evergreen students, along
with some others.
"98-99% of the students were male, and
even with the female students present ,
there was an underlying suspicion that
they were there to find husbands," Rainey
recounted.
"Their students are more passive, our
,tudents challenge the faculty; the
Japanese cons ider thi s to be di scourteous,
I think this could be partly because they
are afraid of lOSing face in front of their
peers," he added .
" We were able to get a group of graduIte students togther for an 'Evergreen
style' seminar," Carter remembered, " but
they mostly asked us for our opinions ,"
Rainey commented that, " there are no
team-taught programs. The facult y are
more specialized , each teachin g certain
classes."
They were both quire enthusiastic about
returning to visit japan in the futurc' ,
Everyone is very kind , hospil ablp, and
courteous, When we got back to America ,

Rainey taught contemporary Ameri can

history. He didn't have to change hi s
teaching methods much , sin ce he lectured
there and also lectures here, but he conceded , " It was very helpful for me, because it forced me to explain to them
about Ameri ca n economi c and socia l
history. I had to lecture slowl y and pronounce the words distinctly and break
down concepts. In some ways it clarified
my own thinking."
Carter taught English to members of the
staff and German to some of the students
which also helped her, "to be careful
about the words I use and th ink about
the language."
It's obvious that Evergreen's philosophies of education and those of japan are
drastically di fferent. A talk with Mitsuharu
Mitsui, the Kobe faculty member who's
teaching here now, clarified the views of
Japanese educators a little more.
" In japan, we focus on how to learn,

We have, as a matter of record , a state
Republican party which voted unanimously, as recently as last weekend [Jan . 15),
to oppose any income tax in any form . I
think that is very short-sighted . I'm disappointed that people [with] the obvious
civic-mindedness to get involved in a
political party would be that close-minded
about what our other revenue alternatives
ought to be.
I think the question we have to ask ourselves when talking about the revenue
structure isn't 'are we for or against an
income tax.' The questions are 'how do
we want our revenue structure to perform 7 What characteristics do we want it
to possess 7' For my own part, I think that
our tax structure needs to do three things.
[For one,] it needs to generate a sufficient
number of dollars or funding to provide
for programs that we, by consensus, agree
the state government ought to provide
that aren't adequately provided for in the
private sector.
Two, I think our revenue structure
needs to be equitable. That is, it should
not rely on one income bracket disproportionately over another. The fact of the
matter is, we've got the most regressive
tax structure in the nation. Poor people or
low income people in this state pay two
to three times the percentage of their
personal income to state and local taxes
as people who make over $75,()(X) a year.
Well, that's absurd! That's not really
acceptable, so we need more equity.
The third thing we need is more stability. We rely on the sales tax for 50% of
our revenue. Sales tax is what is described

Evergreen needs a student lobby. Even
though tuition increased by 70% two
years ago, Greener graduate and House
Ma jority Leader Dennis Heck says (CPI
Jan 27 , 1983) " no more than 10 to 15
students" con tacted him to complain .
Students are generally apathetic, especIally towards school politics. It is sometimes difficult to get excited over issues
which will affect this school after we are
gone . But tuition is increasing drastically\
each year; it is getting harder to pay for.
W> can 't let ourselves get so wrapped up
III ou r studies that we forget we are payin!,: more all the time just for this
opportun ity .
Thi s school has been hard hit by budget
slashing. Programs have been cut, studios
are bein~ closed, and faculty are being
laid off. "Ithough we are paying more
now for higher education , we have less
C]lIality and opportun ity than before.
Fvergreen III particular has much to
Im e by not having a lobbyi ng representatiw dt the capi tol. The closing of our
school has been discussed too many

BeSide;, there's an underlying principle
hl'fl' that goes beyond our problems at
Evergreen: that is, quality education
"hou ld Iw affordable for all. It is an investmpn: in the future, both for the
studen t and for the state . Accessibility to
higher education based on someone's
ability to pav amounts to discrimination .
On both the state and national level,
talk has recently centered on the illlport,lnce 01 revitalizing our basi c edu cation programs if we are to reta in our technological edge. At the same time, higher
education is becoming inaccessible to
many because of increased tuition and
reduced federal aid . It appears that although the governm ent wants to emphasize math and science sk ill s on a basic

Turn Off Those Lights
Editors:
An ~pf'n letter to the Evergreen
community :
If you think your utility bills are high ,
have vou seen Evergreen's lately? During
the fi scal year of 1982-83, Evergreen
expects to pay more than 3/ 4 of a million
dollars to the local utilities. 46% of this
money wi II go to Puget Sound Power &
Light. (this does not include the electriCity
used in the dorms & Mods), 50% will go
to Washington Natural Gas (natural gasfired boilers in the steam plant), and 4%
wi ll cove r the sewer, water and oil expenses. These percentages indicate two
things :
1. 96% of the energy budget is used for
heating, lighting, and electrical
equ ipment usage each year and,
2. as a whole, we are not as energy
efficient as we may think or hope we
are.
Two questions then arise: Where is the
energy being usedl And how can it be
conserved? The Washington State Depart.ment of Engineering and Architecture was
concerned with these same i ssues and, as
a result, hired the consulting engi neering
page 4 The Cooper Point Journal Feb. 3, 1963

This situation will create a nation of computer programmers and perpetuate an
elite managerial upper class.
We must join the Washington Student
Lobby (WSL) and organize in support of
affordable higher education . The WSL is
committed to promoting: full access to
higher education, a restoration of academic quality, and student involvement in
decision-making policies regarding higher
education.
The WSL Board of Directors is made up
of three student representatives from each
of the participating colleges. Presently,
only University of Washington, Western
Washington University, Washington State
University and Central Washington University are full members and they maintain a staffed office in Olympia.
Among other things, the WSL publishes
legislative voting records, organizes st udent lobbyists and assists the local WSL
chapters Members also conduct voter
registration drives aimed at creating an
effective student voting bloc. Operations
will be expanded once additional money
is received from other schools, such as
Evergreen, which are still completing petiti on drives.
The stu dent lobbyi st is supported by a
voluntary $1.00 fee collected at the time
of registration . This money is completely
refundable if a person decides they do
not want to or ca nnot afford to support
the WSL. But at a dollar per quarter, when
tuition has been rising an average of 50%
these last few, who can afford not to joinl
Some people may not agree with the ,
idea of having a lobbyist because we then·
become part of and thereby help perpetuate that whole game. At the same time, it
i s a reality that many other special interest groups are lobbying down at the
capito l and if we don't get down there
soon, as an effective lobbying voice, Evergreen may yet be turned into a police
academy.
Only 850 more signatures are needed to
indicate that over half of the full-time
students at Evergreen approve of becoming a part of the WSL. Make it a point to
sign the WSL petition soon, to help stop
the esca lating cost of college tuition.
Quality education must be accessible to
all who seek it.

The world's largest and most expensive
public power generating project, located
here in Washington, is about to go bankrupt. Faced by stacks of unpaid bills,
recalcitrant ratepayers , and legal suits
which have forced the premature termination of two of the five nuclear projects
while rendering future bond sales impossible, the Washington Public Power Supply
System (WPPSS), now runs the risk of
default, or failure to meet its bond obligations. The effects of such an action, the
largest default in public bond history,
could well be far-reaching and severe.
The termination of WPPSS plants #4
and 5, spurred on by the popular voter
initiative, 1-394, had a drastic impact upon
the project. Not only have the closures
added $98 million to WPPSS's list of
unpaid bills, but the payment schedules
on the $7 billion worth of bonds sold to
cover the two nuclear plants have been
pushed forward.

Of the first billing, Jan 25, WPPSS has
received payment from only two of the 88
contracting utilities, or less than 1% of
the $101 million total. The 86 remaining
utilities contest the legality of the contract and are awaiting court settlements,
which is certain to be a lengthy process.
And whil e the utilities wait, the bonds
come due. As it appears now, there is
every possibility that WPPSS will be broke
by the middle of May, jeopardizing
WPPSS #2, all but assuring the termination of #3, and casting doubt upon the
entire $28 billion debt structure.
The manner in which the debt was
established is a fascinating study in
corporate public relations . In the 1960's,
representatives of the Bonnevi lie Power
Administration (BPA) approached utilities
through the region with their proposal.
The terms of the contract seemed innocuous at first. The utilities, by the simple
pretext of guaranteeing bonds, would
bring the wonders of modern technology
to the Northwest, thereby ushering in an
era of cheap electricity for an expanding
industrial base. Many of the municipal
and public utility district (PUD) commissioners were not engineers or economists
by trade, but managers and businessmen .
The BPA projected the region's need for
electricity would rise sharply and cautioned the officials to act responsibly in
preparation for the future. Faced with
such inflated forecasts, coherently represented by "experts ," many utilities saw no
reasonable alternative but to contract for
constru ct ion of the plants
With 88 utilities behind the project and
10,C()() investors putting up the cas h,
WPPSS financed the construction of
nuclear plants #1 through 5. The vast

Sexual Assault Is A Problem That Hurts Everyone
by Stephen Kistler
sums of money required for construction,
plus a generous amount of interest for the
investors, was to be paid back with
revenue from the electricity generated by
the completed nuclear plants.
However, none of the pl.ants have been
completed . They may never be. With
interest, the debt now comes to $28
billion, the payments being spread over
the next 70 years . To cover the $7 billion
in bonds for projects #4 and 5 alone (one
quarter of the total), WPPSS must make
payments of $94 mi II ion every three
months - that's a million dollars a day,
$4O,C()() an hour, or $11 a second, and the
payments will continue till long after
most of us are dead .
WPPSS is just now coming to grips with
the harsh reality of the utilities' refusal to
pay. The writing is on the wall . In Oregon ,
18% of the debt, a judge has ruled that
due to a provision in the state constitution limiting municipal indebtedness, the
contracting utilities had no authority to
back the bonds. Thus, the liability of
Oregon's utilities is not legally grounded .
Idaho, with 5% of the debt, has similar
constitutional restraints, clouding this
state's contracts as well. Utilities in the ·
State of Washington, with 74.8% of the
debt, have nearly unanimously refused
payment on the basis of alleged misrepresentation and/ or cost overruns. With
last week's rejection of the revised billing
schedule by the utilities, the matter falls
upon the courts.
The history of the WPPSS project offers
ample opportunity for questioning the
accuracy of the initial projections, particularly in light of the cost overruns, questionable managerial practice, and dubious
contract liability, Some believe the project
is hopelessly overdesigned and that there
is not sufficient capital available to
finish construction even if it were desirable. Also, since the utilities in Oregon
were not legally able to enter the contract, this opens the door for other states
to claim misrepresentation in this area as
well, since Oregon was represented as one
of the major contractors.
Some things seem certain. The utilities
are waiting for the courts; the legal proceedings will drag on for many months.
WPPSS has a lot of debt to cover, practically no utilities supporting it, and will
in all likelihood go broke in May.
All this makes the future of WPPSS and
the WPPSS bonds very uncertain. In the
last few weeks, a number of options have
been discussed. These scenarios run the
gamut from full and timely payment to
dumping the plants on an outside buyer,
from a negotiated settlement to simply
not paying the debt, or default.
Full and timely payment assumes that
everyone gets their money on time. This
could occur if all of the 88 utilities
accepted the payment schedule, or if the
state, federal government, or BPA bails
WPPSS out. None of this seems very

firm of Boullion, Chri stofferson, and
Scha irer to conduct an energy audit of
the campus . (Wa. State Dept. of E&A paid
contlnu~ on page 6
in excess of $60,C()() for this audit.)
The energy audit has determined where I.._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _~~~~~~~~~.....
and how much heat and light energy is
used in each building at varying times of
the day. The firm's preliminary findings
presented to the Energy Conservation
Team of Facilities did not require high
tech so lutions. They found that by simply
turning off the lights and shutting the
doors a considerable amount of energy
can be saved.
Conservation is glamorous. It does not
necessarily require gadgets, technological
breakthroughs, or extensive planning. It
does require the participation of individuals to turn off the lights when they leave
classrooms, lecture halls, offices, study
rooms, or any room. Another question
then arises : Why bother with this "small"
stuff.; why not focus on the "big" stuff?
Well folks, each of us can't redesign the

Editors:
Everyone boogying to "The Ducks"
urday night probably missed Saturday
Night Live. Eddie Murphy did a satirical
"Editorial Comment" on some of President
Reagan's remarks against making Martin
Luther King's birthday a national holiday.
Eddie invited everyone to send him letters
for the President in support of the hoi iday, which he will then take to Washington, D.C., and dump on the White House
lawn as part of the show.
How often do you get to be part of
something righteous and entertaining?

Rape is a subject that most people
don't come to terms with easily. The attitude of "that could never happen to me"
or " that could never affect my I ife" is
much more comforting than dealing with
rape as a real event. Chances are, whether
you know it 9r not, you know someone
who has been raped - maybe even someone who has committed rape. Most
people face serious problems in dealing
with this type of crime, from giving
assistance and support to victims (and
those close to them), to effective ways of
dealing with offenders. Understanding the
problem is half the battle, so it is something about which everyone would do
well to be informed and aware.
Rape is, by conceptual definition, any
nonconsenting sexual encounter. Statutes
vary and the legal definition is usually not
so broad. It is also generally extended to
include limits on the age at which a
person can legally give consent. In Washington, rape is defined as "sexual intercourse" or "sexual contact" without
mutual consent between persons who are
not married to each other. However, as
far as the motivations and repercussions,
the first definition is adequate.
The misconception that a rapist is
simply oversexed, or exhibiting aggressive
behavior that can be expected of young
men, is becoming less common. Most
people are already aware that rape is a
symptom of serious psychological difficulties. These sometimes show up in the
absence of any close or intimate emotional relationships. The rapist usually has
doubts about his adequacy and a lack of
self confidence in sexual and nonsexual
areas. Generally, he sees only his own
needs as important, and sees others as
obstacles to be overcome or objects to be
manipulated fQr his own gratification . This
indifference to the feelings of others

causes his problems in maintaining any
mature relationships .
His feeling of powerlessness in dealing
with people through acceptable means
can result in stress which the rapist may
believe will destroy him or drive him to
insanity if it is not released. This stress is
not just sexual tension .
Rape is primarily an act of aggreSSion.
According to a leaflet froin Rape Relief
and Reduction (Olympia YW.C.A., 220 E.
Union, Olympia), called "Understanding
and Reacting to Rape," rapists are
" motivated by a need to control and
humiliate another person, not by uncontrollable sexual desire." It also says that
rapists are usually heterosexual males who
can come from any ethnic and socioeconomic background. In the Washington
Crime Wafch pamphlet "Rape. Let's Talk
About It," we find that "a rapist does not
fit into a particular image. There are no
special, identifying features ... In many
cases the rapist is married or has an ongoing sexual relationship with another
woman ." Even in cases where a male is
raped by another male, the perpetrator is
usually heterosexual and the object is,
again, humiliation and control.
Victims of rape are also difficult to
categorize. The idea that a victim can
incite rape with provocative dress or
seductive behavior and, in that case, is
getting what she deserves, seems to be
losing credence. It is, however, one of the
most persistent myths about rape victims.
The wide range of places where assaults
occur and ages of victims demonstrates
that this kind of provocation is not characteristic of the crime. But above all,
overriding a person's right to refuse at any
time is illegal.
Victims are most often women under
30, but rape can happen to people of
either sex at any age. Most rapes happen
in the victim's home. -

Another common place is in a car.
According to a booklet from the Washington State Department os Social and
Health Services (DSHS), called "Sexual
Assault Hurts Us All," 60% of adult rapes
occur between people who know each
other. I n an article by Karen Barrett called
" Date Rape: A Campus Epidemic?" (Ms.
magazine, Sept. '82) a survey by Kent
State University psychology professor Dr.
Mary Koss is cited. In her survey of college students, one in eight women
admitted to having been raped (though
many did not use that word for it), and
about 30% of surveyed males had used
varying degrees of physical or emotional
coercion to obtain sex.
Acquaintance rape may ~ the least
reported and most damaging form of the
crime, because it compour:1ds the effects
of this violent act with the fact that it was
perpetrated by someone judged to be a
friend . On acquaintance rape at co lleges,
Barrett writes:
" At most universities, anti-rape programs are a recent innovation . .. geared
to stranger rape . . . to treatment of victims
rather than prevention . Even on campuses
where rumors of acquaintance rape prevail, administrators tend to report that
they have not been told of any cases.
There have been many incidents where
rapes were hushed up by school officials,
where women were discouraged from
taking legal action, or where men were
subjected to minor disciplinary action. A
standard position is that the victim should
be spared embarrassment. However,
authorities are hardly averse to protect ing
the reputation of an institution ."
Preventing rapes begins with common
sense measures to keep intruders out of
your house, and avoiding situations where
you could be assaulted and be unable to
attract attention. When confronted by a
rapist ina situation where yell ing or

training in assertiveness and self-defense
can be very useful. InA. Nicholas Groth's
book Men Who Rape , offenders were
asked to give advice for victims . In
general, they sa id trying to talk the
assailant out of the attack was safe, even
if not always effective.
Victims who successfully resisted attack
had some common qualities : they were
able to keep self-control and refuse to be
intimidated, be assertive without being
aggressive, and communicate to the
offender that they were real people, not
objects'
" However, not all offenders can be
talked out of an assault In the last
analysis there is no one defense strategy
that will work
In all situations , and the
goal of survival is more important than
the goal of escape
the victim should
not be faulted for not having successfldl y
resisted ," the book cautions .
Only a few aspec ts of a very comp lex
subject have been touched on here.
Understanding a problem i s, of course,
the first step in combatt ing it. Rape is d
problem for individuals, for the communily, and for the justice system The bettt!r
informed everyone i ~ , the more likely it i~
th .. t rape can be effect ively dealt with .

Radical Differences Between Greener And. Japanese Students
continued Irom page 1
always changing, always becoming obsolete. They must learn how to adapt, to
organize, to research ,and to cooperate,"
Mitsui revealed.
" In Japan, students must not ask about
trivial matters, the questions must be
suitable, they must not embarrass. They
must always be 'other' oriented. Most
people think Japanese students are shy.
They are not . They are very active. In
c lass, though , they are focusing on listening, not talking.".
At TESC, it is different he said, "Evergreen students are very impatient. I ~as
surprised . I have to answer them instantly,
even if it is something trivial.
" At Evergreen you are too self-assertive;
aggressiveness and individuality are important, as opposed to the whole. In lecture many students ask me about things ,
som et imes I am confused. 'Why are they
so act ive and aggressive?' I prepare more
than ten pages of lecture notes for these
questions ."
He continued to describe other differences : " Here, the students and faculty
should be ~qual participants in class. This
does not make you a true student. A student learns from the teacher."
He then discussed Japanese feelings
about independence : "Here, independence is highly valued . In Japan we can't
distinguish independence from selfishness .
In japan , selfishness is evil and independence is evil , in many respects . One must
learn to be dependent. Dependence is
more sophisticated than independence
from the japanese Standpoint. There is a
diVision of labor, a combining of knowledge , a depending on other people We
should always be modest, our knowledge
is very <;mall and imperfect.
" In japan the fo c us is on brotherhood .
We have three major philosophies: brotherhood , liberty and equality. In America,
liberty and equality are also very important but brotherhood is not. In j apan it is
the most important of the three ."

Mitsui had some concrete advice for
Evergreen: "The Evergreen State College
should keep its traditional atmosphere but
should introduce new aspects in order
that the students will not become losers
in the real world. Curriculum should be
considered in order to offer more choices.
Students should be more careful about
choosing their subjects, and the faculty
should tell them more about what they
are teaching." He added that, in his
personal opinion, " Students should be
more disciplined and more realistic."
Along with these observations, however, was some appreciation for certain
Evergreen educational options: "1 think
that internships and individual contracts
are very good . I appreciate such efforts."
Internships especially appealed to him
and he would like to try them at Kobe
University since "students can get academic knowledge and practical
experience."
In addition to approving of these
aspects of the system, he likes some of
the effects that Evergreen's particular
brand of education had on its students :
"In this system a student can be creative
independently. Creativeness of the students is important. It has always been
that students must learn how to be obedient, but now I'm thinking that they should
learn to be more creative and independent."
At The Kobe University of lapan, Mitsui
is an assistant professor in economy, and
also acts as an official consultant for the
local government. He also does economic
and business consulting. This is important
to him because, "1 must keep up with the
business world in order to be a good
professor," he explained.
For the past two quarters Mitsui has
been teaching in the People and the Seas
program. Last quarter he focused on
Japanese culture and economics in the
histori ca l perspective. He has emphasized
Japan's relationship with the sea by talking about historical industries of shipping,

,

fishing and transportation. In some of his
lectures he told Japanese fairy tales and
stories about famous battles. All this was
to show how Japan is dependent on the
sea.
This quarter he showed Japan in a
modern light, including descriptions of
aquaculture, modern fisheries, ship building, the shipping industry, international
trade, the energy industry and other
aspects of modern economy in japan. Last
fall he was a historian; thi s quarter he is ,
happy to say, "1 am a true economist."
He had problems adjusting to the
differences in educational systems and is
pleased to see that his students are starting to realize what he expects from them :
" Fortunately the students are more willing
to learn economics and the business of

the sea . They're deepening their concentration and their research.
"I am discouraged about group discusSions, however, because they don't want
to focus. In a working place you can't increase productivity; after you give your
knowledge, you stop listening. They have
a short attention span."
He explained more about the role of
the sensei: "A sensei is a teacher-brother .
We are go-betweens in marriages and we
help them to find good jobs. In Japan it's,
a fundamental obligation. We spend a lot
of time with social communication. Sometimes students and faculty will go out
together . We got to drink saki and talk.
There must still be distance between the
students and faculty. We must act as big
brothers. "

70's, even though it would have earned
much praise as a monumental film I fear
the importance of its message would have
gone understated. But its release at a time
when people are beginning to realize
they've had enough of the "guns-beforebutter" mentality makes the impact of its
message much more significant.
I don't mean to imply that Gandhi is
merely a message film, it is not. Nor am I
saying that the film flagellates the audience with its message, it doesn't. Gandhi
is a film biography on a grand scale. The
very nature of its subject implies its message, for how could you make a film
about the life of Mohandas Gandhi without showing what he lived for , what he
fought against, and how he fought
against itl
Gandhi's message of bringing about
social change through peaceful noncooperation cut through all religious differences that were strongly instilled in the
Indian people and united them toward a
common goal of freedom for I ndia. This
idea proved to be a powerful tool that
was instrumental to India's Raining freecontinued Irom page 4

probable . The federal government is in
financ ial trouble itself . The State of Washington has a limit to the government's
indebtedness and might find the problems of political acceptance and selling
revenu e bonds insurmountable. The BPA
seems by no means anxious to step in and
help clean up their mess .
Construction could be resumed through
sale to an outside buyer . Both Japan and
California have been approached in this
respect. The Japanese, good capitalists
that they are, remain skeptical. The
utilities in California may be willing to
purchase the plant but only at 30¢ on the
dollar. However, the regional Power Act
and federal law prohibit such a sale to
private utilities, and there is little negotiating time left before the first payments
are due.
In a negotiated settlement, the 88
utilities , some 10,000 bondholders, and
the WPPSS administration would get
together and reach a workable compromise. Thi s option too suffers for lack
of time.
A very lik ely scenario is that the debts
simply will not be paid . Su ch an event ,
termed default , would occur in three steps
over the next six months. First comes the

Setting the political message aside, this
film by Richard Attenborough is still the
greatest epic since Lawrence of Arabia,
and perhaps of all time. Everything about
this film is excellent, from the acting to
the editing, When I go to a film that's
three hours plus, I usually expect to be
bored at some point. I'm pleased to say
that was not the case with C..andhi John

This is slated to occur sometime in May.
The third step, bondholder default, occurs
when the people who purchased the
bonds fail to rece ive the interest payments
due. This , in all probability will occur
in July.
The effects of such a major default
upon the money market are unknown and
potentially catastrophic. It is sobering to
consider that the entire WPPSS debt compares to that of the major third world :
borrowers . The largest private bond issue
in the history of Wall Street, WPPSS
drains 5% of the available capital in the
money market.
No matter how the WPPSS crisis is
resolved , it is bound to have a substantial
effect upon credit availability and interest
rates for many years to come .
Obviously, the financiers back east
would not be pleased by default. Possible
retaliatory measures could include raising
interest rates or making credit unavailable
in the Northwest Whether any of these
steps would be less injurious to Washington then paying over $20 billion for five
heaps of useless mac hi nery has been the
subject of recent debate, with some
claiming default as the most viable
opt ion. As it now appea rs, the proj ect is
swiftly going broke, in exorably drawn
toward default. WPPSS remains a grim
harbinger of debt looming over the futu re
of the Pac ifi c Northwest.

Mose Allison is a living treasure, he's
been making records since before I was
born. Allison has a way of incorporating
many different styles of music and making
them distinctly his own . Nobody does it
quite like Allison; he has a cool , relaxed
vocal quality with a delivery unparalleled
by anyone. We should consider ourselves
very lucky to have such a musi ca l giant
coming to perform at Evergreen. I had a
chance to speak with Allison after one of
hi s sets in Seattle over the weekend .
(P)' I know you have an interest in
English, have you ever written anything
for publication?
Allison: just for my own amusement.
They've got me writing for the album
covers now, I wrote notes for the last one
and I just finished the notes for the new
one that's coming out soon . So that' s
started me off writing again; I'll probably
eventually write something.
(P): Who are your favorite authors?
Allison: Celine, the French guy, is one
of my favorites and Kenneth Patchen, the
American poet. I liked him a lot. You
know,'there's hundreds of people I like. I
like Kurt Vonnegut. It's a long list.
(P): Being from Mississippi, I thought
Faulkner would be big on your list.
Allison: Oh well yeah , I like Faulkner
admire Faulkner but, you know, Faulkner
is completely unique. His way of writing,
I would never attempt anything like that .
He's a completely unique personality and
he really did create a world there .
(P): A lot of your songs are kind of
funny. How did you develop your sense
of humor?
Allison: Yeah, well you know, that's like
a shock absorber (Laughs) . I think most
people agree that humor is a way we cope
with reality, the bad things. I'm one of
these people, you know, if I can make a
joke about something, it doesn't bother
m e so much .
(PI: Are you on the road a lot?
Allison. Yeah, about 40 weeks out of
the year, usually.
(PI: How do you feel about that?
Allison: Well , sometimes it's good,
sometimes it's hard , It's always a challenge, you know. For instance, this last
week I was in Eau Claire, Wisconsin , on
Friday, Minneapolis Saturday and Sunday,
Las Vegas Monday, Redmond, Oregon, on
Tuesday and Wednesday and Seattle
Thursday through Sunday. So, now and
then you hit a rough three or four days
~ like that. It's like a survival test.

That's the main problem with big halls and things, a lot of
times there's echo and if you just got
there at 7:00 and went in to do a sound
check and the people, if they don't know
exactly what they're dOing, or if it's not
right, it can be a problem. So the problem with that sort of thing is just the
physical sound, and so forth .
(P): Do you playa lot of auditoriums?
Allison: Not a lot, no. I still play mostly
clubs.
(P): How do you feel about your dealings with the record industry, have they
treated you pretty well?
Allison: Well , I'm really not that involved with the record industry (Laughs).
The only time I've ever gotten much out
of the record industry is when some rock
band does one of my songs or somethin',
Yeah, the most money I ever made out of l
records is when the Who did one of my
songs ["Young rvlan's Blues"]. That was .
the only time I ever made any dent in the
record industry.
(P): What label are you on now?
Allison: I' m with Elektra Musician now.
I had an album out this year (Middle
Class White Boy] and they're going to
release another one soon, I think in
maybe March or April. It'll be a live date
from Montreaux; it was recorded last summer with Billy Cobham on drums, Jack
Bruce on bass, Lou Donaldson sittin' in on

(PI: You seem to draw on many different influen ces ancj styles, who would
you say has had the biggest influence on
your music?
Allison: Oh yeah, well you know there's
so many people. Every night when I'm
playin' , I think a lot of basic influences .
Starting with Louis Armstrong, Nat Cole,
people like that, going all the way through
the blues people and on into contemporary classical pianists and the whole
thing, you know.
(P): Is there anybody today that has an
influence on you?
Allison: Well , I'm sort of in the process
of just trying to digest all the things I'm
interested in right now. I really don't
listen to other jazz players that much .

,uess I did .. intentionnlly for a long time,
'cause I didn't want to hl' unduly influ('n eed by anybody elSE' My line is tha t on
<lny given night all good jan players plLlY
the sam e thin g, they just emphasi zE'
different aspect<; uf it , 'cause the raw
matE'ri.11 for plJyin ' lil L! is tilE' SilmE' for
everybody . It (an only COIllE' from two
,ourn's, one I' from the fo lk sources,
whi l h woul d be the blues and all th at,
and the u th er is the academy , whi ch is
lik e thp stuff you lE'arn going to music
school. Well , now there's a lot of eas tern
influences and exoti c oriental influences
and so forth, but everybody is aware of
all that. Everybody hears it aiL So, all jazz
players have the same influences, it's ju st
a marter of emphasis, what they're
emphasi zing.
(PI : What is the thing that keep s you
going, that brings you out on the road
every year?
Allison: This is my therapy I (Laughs)
I' m in therapy , man l Thi s keeps me sane,
everyone should have somethi;l ' that does
that, I guess. So, it's somethin ' I like doin ',
it's challenging and it's never the same
and I enjoy it. I enjoy traveling most of
the time, and it' s the kind of thing that
you can always add to and subtract from
and divide. It's different all the time. It's
just a process, there's no solution, you
know, there's no final place , Of course,
you're always working towards the ultimate performance But you never know
when that was, or if it's ever going to
be I (Laughter)

into the studi o and do itl
Allison.' WE' ll , in thE' case of the record
that was released last summer, I had a lot
of new mat erial that I had sort of gotten
together over the last three or tour y ears
when I wa,n' t recording. I didn 't record
ior abo ul five years

Allison: Well, it was bec ause I asked for

Actually, I
me, and it took a long time
didn't start rea lly getting serious about
looking for about two or three yea rs
because I don' t record that often anyhow.
But it took me about two years of fishin '

wanted to re cord for and got the situation
I was looking for .
