Debate Flares Over Graduation Planning
by Claire Kuhm

Weir countered with, "The group of
students which Erik Noyd and I represent
object because we feel it is not the time
or place to address such an issue. Relatives and friends who come for the graduation may not want to hear about EI
Salvador, it is not the matter of the issue."

"Medical Aid for EI Salvador. " Is that s
subject relevant to, or suitable for a
graduation address? And another speech
entitled "Evergreen Students Maturing
Like Fine Wine." Is that too humorous?

-

-~ .

Amid talk of what will be served at the
graduation reception, use of rip-stop
nylon fabric for banners, announcements,
and ideas for a theme, a controversy arose
from the f loor when Jordan Pollack,
acting spokesman for the Graduation
Planning Group, sa id the Planning Group
wou ld like to be aware of what the
student representative speaker, will use as
a subj ec t, since the speaker should
address a topic which is important to
everyone " It was then that Wil liam Weir
and Erik Noyd sa id they we r e~ " at the
.me"eting to speak on behalf of about SO
students who were not pleased with what
had been chosen as topics. "

~-----

They expressed the feeling " That
speec hes should show concern for other
members of the class and the topics
chosen, flatly say I Am A Greener. We are
worried student speeches might be too
humorous in such a serious situation and

The question was then raised that if this
body of students which was now showing
concern , was interested in contributing
input and ideas, why had they waited so
long to make their feelings known ,
because the Planning Group had bee n
actively meeting sin ce January."
Weir repli ed, " There are va rious reasons.
Some of the students si mply had not been
aware t hat the meetin gs were taking
pla ce , and noontime meetings were not
convenient for everyone. But lust because
you haven' t attended the meetings doesn't
mea n you don't have the right to your
voice and your opinion as st udents." W eir
then sa id, "Th e students are opposed to
the EI Salvador issue because it is a " hot"
poli tical item." And he used the analogy,
" There will be no Bacca laureate because
the ACLU contends it is unconstitutional
since it is religiously oriented . Likewise

Graduation , reveals his serious sidePhoto by Oberbillig

the publi c needs to be informed that the
k ind of education Evergreen students
receive is mu ch different than that which
friends and family perceive it to be.
Therefore, as graduates they would like to
present the school's image as that of great
importance. The ceremony should be
done as tastefully as possible and not be
an embarrassment to those in attendance
and certainly not to the graduates "

students and guests shou ld not be subjected to political opinions and philosophies at a graduation ceremony ."

Phred Churchill, who had selec ted EI
Salvador as hi s speech topi c said , " There
should be a priority of stating rel evance
between issues . It does not give me
reason to celebrate in a world such as the
one which exists today. The iss ue is

CROW, an O lympi a-based group is
sponsoring the initiative that contains
several controversial sect ion s. The measure
bans hunting of female as well as young
deer and elk for three years , and establi shes a three-year sp ike (male) deer and
elk hunting rotat ion system.
Another section of the initi ative ca ll s
for the roll-back of the cos t of li cense
fees to 1980 levels. CROW also wants to
prohibit anyone w ith a conflict of interes t
from serving on the Game Commiss ion .
Dave Littl ejohn, Chairman of CROW
claims the ban on hunting is needed
because of the depletion of the herd s.
The Game Department is "trying to sell
li censes for something that doesn't exist,
says Littlejohn . He sees the need for the
Initi ative because he has " been hunting
for 40 yea rs and its hard to find an animal
anymore."
Pam Crocker-Davis of the Audubon
Society disagrees with CROW's position .
She contends that the initiative takes a
"simplistic view" of the issues and is "only
addressing the symptoms."

" The key iss ue is habitat," she says .
Many herds currently suffer from a redu ct ion in number due to increasin g land
development. Wildlife have a smaller
amount of land to li ve on . M s. CrockerDavi s think s that peopl e should start
focljsing on the issue of the destruction of
the anim als; habitats .

Ives expl ained that an estimated 100
people wou ld lose their jobs, and th at l en
hatcheri es wou ld close . They would

In addition, there would be less mon ey
ior maintenance of land and water
accesses, lik e the Ni squally Delta, therefore restricting the publi c's use of the
areas, commented Ives.

She disagrees w ith CROW's proposed
hunting ban . " Why should they (t he Game
Department) help a herd grow if they
have no place to gol" She maintains that
the on ly thing the initi ative protects is
hunting, not w ildlife in genera l.

The Game Department would also lose
its mitigation staff. They are the peopl e
who work out compensation for loss of
wi Idl ife, such as compensation for f ish if
a power company builds a dam. Ives says
the roll-back of li cense fees would " affect
every thing the Game Department is
doing. "

But Littlejohn emphatic ly states that he
cares about the dwindling of the herds
and is disturbed by the possibility of the
animals' extin ct ion . "What is the next
W e all like

wildlife . Everybody should respect it - it's
only here once," he says.

According to Ives, the only positive
affect of the initiative is a section which
repea ls the Game Department's obligation
to pay compensation for deer and elk
damage. The Department would save
$11,lXX) from that measure, but the
" amount gained does not make up for the
money lost," states Ives .

Just as controversial is the section in
the initiative which calls for the rollback
of hunting and fishing license fees to 1980
levels. CROW members suggest that there
are some significant deficiencies in the
management of the state's wildlife
. resources by the Game Department. There•

At this time 'of year it is not unusual to
see flocks with most of the birds in their
gray winter plumage and others partially
or wholly sporting their rufous breed in g
plumage This makes ident ification
diffi cult for the uninitiated bird watcher
Although these shorebirds st ill inhabit the
beaches in great numbers , their populations have been mu ch depleted In the last
100 years This is probably due mostly to
habitat loss through the filling oi wetlands .
,

From mid-April to mid-May, Washington's ocean beaches and tidal mudflats
are harvested by myriads of migrating
shorebirds. Many of these avian travelers,
some from as far south as Chile, come to
feast in the 94-square miles of Grays
Harbor estuary-the last major "staging"
(rest) area before their long haul to
nesting grounds in the arctic north.
Northern summers are so brief that
migration must take place in a short
period of time and thousands of birds
tend to concentrate on the flight north.
For the past three years the majority of
these shorbirds have arrived in Grays
Harbor on the 24th or 25th of April.

~ Pholos by Kenney

rather the birds which arrive on those
days have been more successful in their
nesting up north so that trend becomes
reinforced.
Bowerman Basin, a tidal mudflat constituting 2% of Grays Harbor, accounts
for approximately 47% of the total
migrating shorebird use. Herman explained
that this particular area is host to such a
large percentage of the birds because it is
very shallow. Since it is the last mud to
be covered when the tide comes in and
the first to be exposed when the tide
recedes, the birds spend more time running around on that particular mudflat
searching for edibles than any other in
Grays Harbor.

Steve Herman, an ornithologist at the
Evergreen State College, pointed out that
this was not a matter of chance, but

Shorebirds are voracious eaters, sometimes consuming their body weight in
food on a single day. They cruise the
beaches in flocks, multitudes of bills
searching the mud for crustaceans , amphipods, aquatic insects, and seeds of
aquatic plants. Their bills, perfectly
adapted for this eating behavior, are long,
slender, tapered, and flexible. They are
slightly enlarged and sensitive at the tip,
enabling the birds to "feel" for critters
under the mud .
With a characteristic probing motion
the bill is thrust, mandibles apart into the
mud or sand and a tasty morsel is extracted. Frequently these shorebirds themselves become dinner for predatory birds,
such as the rare peregrine falcon, that
follows their migratory movements.
Bird watchers have identified 24 species
of shorebirds visiting the Bowerman Basin
area during peak migration . The most
common species are: western sandpipers - sparrow-sized with black legs and
decurved bill, they make up 85% of the
migrating shorebi rd pO[1ulation and are
the most abundant of the smaller spec ies
of shorebird s collect ively ca lled "peeps";

bill which curves downward near the tip;
dowitchers - large snipe-like sandpipers;
red knots-chunky, medium-sized shorebirds with relatively short bills

Blanketing the beach in dense swarms,
running like streams of shifting sand, half
a million shorebirds rest and digest before
the tide recedes and the mudflat diner is
again exposed Suddenly, the flock takes
wing with a chorus of subdued cries and
wingbeat percussion. They twist and turn
in the air, a si ngle organism undulating
like a wave, flashing white and dark as
the light strikes underparts and backs.
Slowly, they settle back onto the beach
and sit tight to the ground, all facing the
same direction.

There is presently a proposal to fill In
part of Bowerman Basin for Industrial
sites. Although on ly a portion of the ba,in
is scheduled for development, Herman
cla ims that the parti cular mudflat to be
filled represents the most important
habitat for the shorebirds, since this is
where most of their feeding occurs . " The
proposed development would have a
significant and disastrous impact on the
shorebi rd population that migrate," he
said.
In drafting their estuari ne management
ian, the Grays Harbor Task Force
,ttempted to take shorebird habits into
.:(count, even altering the original plan to
reflect this concern. A draft environmental
impact statement is due to be rel eased
next month for publ ic review and comment.
\t this point there is still room for modifi(,ltion before a final plan is adopted.

A debate i, raging between the Environmental Resource Center (ERC) and propone nt s of d faculty /staff lounge. Propone nts of the lounge see the ERC as the
perfec t rlac£' to set up shop. Naturally the ERC doesn't want to make the move and
has made the suggestion that the hallway east of SAGA be modified to accommodate a facu lty/S taff lounge . A good suggestion, but plans are in the works to turn
that space into a TV game room .
Do we need a TV game roo m l I think not. At present , TESC has two TV rooms ,

La, t week's little run-in with the senator from Shelton has been characterized by
man\, ilS "using Evergreen as a politica l football" In that respect it was just one of a
st ring o t c heap shots that would put the Oakland Raiders to shame.

From the Seattle P.I.
Observers of the 1983 Legislature must
wonder at times if some of those Democrats down there actually are Republican
troglodytes in disguise, left over from the
1982 session. One of those times was Sunday when a majority of the Senate
Democratic Caucus voted to shut down
Evergreen State College.
The threat to Evergreen apparently isn't
real. Senate Ways and Means chairman
james McDermott and House Ways and
Means chairman Dan Grimm already have
nixed the ideas as has House Majority
Leader Dennis Heck, an Evergreen alum .
Nevertheless, the fact that the silly
notion got as far as it did is a mark
against the Leg islature and does a di,service to the school which doesn't
deserve such shabby treatment. Evergreen, established in 1971, should be

Washington Student Lobby spokesperson Alan jones was on the right track
la,t wee k when he observed one of the
more puzzling peculiarities of the 1983
leg islative session :

"These Democrats are more conservatiV!' than the Republicans The governor
a nd the Republicans seem to realize that
higher edu cat ion plays a key role in
economi c recovery a nd putting people
back to work. But the Democrat" they
have a th in g or two to le arn ."

lo ne 5 may not have been comp le te ly
corr('(·t - it would be diffi cu lt to exonera te
the GOP for some of the problems it has
created for higher ed . What's surprising,
though , is the behavior of the I!)nocrats
in the Legislature. We've come to expect
stupid , imposs ible pipe dreams from the
Republicans, whose grasp of how the
higher education system works is usually
poor, it', comical. But when the state
Democrats begin coming up with some of
the same kind of ludicrous proposals, it's
time to sit up and take notice.
Last week, UW President William P.
Gerberding remarked to a group of honor
students that he was at one point so fed
up with dense legislators that he considered suggesting elimination of the
College of Dentistry, for the shock value.

I,

April 28, 1983

Gerberding was kidding, of course, but
the state Democ ratic caucus may not
have been this week when 14 of its 25
members voted in favor of a plan which
would have wiped out Evergreef) State
College
.

Evergreen is the Olympia liberal arts '
inst itution with a reputation for being
quirky , offbeat, and infested with hungover '60s liberals and hippies . Currently,
it seems as if everyone in the country is
tak ing the innovative college seriouslyexcept for people of this state.

As president of Evergreen, former Governor Dan Evans has done a remarkable
job of lobbyi ng for the college through
tough times, and in attracting attention to
its programs and curriculum. The college
has gotten good press in publications like
the New York Times, the Christian Science
Monitor , and Times magazine over the
past year. The line is that Evergreen is
unconventional but high quality.

Despite the accolades, however, Republican legislators have had it in for Evergreen almost since the college opened in
1971. It has become commonplace and,
in fact, almost traditional for groups of
GOP lawmakers to make an annual push
for its elimination.

From the W .W.U. Western Front
The Senate now has joined the Republicans in the age-old offer to cut Evergreen
State College. Usually, the college survives
the yearly budget talks, barely managing
. to slide under the chopping block. Now,
it appears even this luxury wi II not be
allowed .
Senator Brad Owen (D-Shelton) proposed a bi II to cut the often-controversial
school. Since its initiation in 1967, Evergreen has been consistently attacked by
state Republicans as unconventional and
costly.
The proposal actually is amove to limit
the college's budget to only one year. But
this is the normal procedure for bringing
an institution to its close.

beyond the stage of conti nually havi ng to
justify its existence. Sensible folk figured
out years ago that those who tried to label
it as a radical hippie haven were wrong.
The school has earned national recognition and has an excellent record of sending its students on into prestigious
graduate schools and successful careers.
Last fall New York Times education editor
Edward Fiske named Evergreen as one of
the 16 best lesser known colleges in the
country, in a c1as, with Reed of Oregon,
Carleton of Minnesota and Occidental of
California.
Th reatening to cut off funding to Evergreen can serve no purpose except to
dive(t attention from the principal issue
faCing the Legislature: passing a budget
and the taxes to support that budget. We
suggest the legis lators get on with that job
and quit using Evergreen as a pawn in the
budget game.

The Front, compares Evergreen to our
own Fairhaven College. Both offer alternative eduction that must be preserved.

Evergreen has always offered a cheaper
and less modern (i.e. the computer
science priority is strangely missing) form
of learning. In the never-ceasing slash of
the legislature session, a proposal to cut
the school, even through theory alone, is
a step far out of bounds.

If our representatives are given the
chance to close Evergreen, we at Western
will have no defense for our own future.
A move to tamper with the life of one
school is one move too many .

a little bitte r that he doesn't reside in the
governor's mansion right now, and he is
considered a contender for the 1984

Evans , meanwhile, has been watching
qui e tly as his name has been batted
around as a possible candidate to run for
governor as a Republican .

Evergreen is safe now . It looks like it

European music was before European music became "classical."

Brahms, Vivaldi, Handel. Mozart, Gershwin , Bartok, Cage, tenor Enrico Caruso and

range will always be represented, so TUNE IN!

CPj Faculty Profile:Hiro Kawasaki
by Claire Kuhns
As a student I first became aware of
Hi ro Kawasaki when I enrolled in an art
history course at Evergreen in the winter '
quarter of '83. A whole new vista was
opened to me, not only because of the
su bj ect matter, but also because I was to

Interested in the in stru ctor's background
and personality that I wanted to write
about him if' order to share that knowledge And that is what this story is about,
a man named Kazuh iro Kawasaki.
In 1%5, Hiro, as he is known to his
students, ca me to the United States to
stay for one year. Prior to that he had
been employed by a large Tokyo department store as a fashion illustrator. His
dec isi on to come to America was complicated by the fact that the Engli sh language
had never been very interesting when he
was in school, even though the japanese
school system encouraged students to
v~k out touri sts or anyone who spoke
E"glish, by offering the stunent extra
grade points . He was not only indifferent,
he went out of his way to avoid conversation with English-speaking people by
cross in g to the other side of the street if
necessary. He f inall y gave in, and enrolled
at Edison Vocat iona l School in Seattle to
take English classes . When he took the
College Entrance examination, the teacher
advised him to go to Community College
and diversify his studies, so he went to
Shoreline Community College for a year
ilnd a quarter.

ington, was the turning point. The class
was taught by Professor Glenn Webb. To
Kawasaki's astounding surprise, Webb
actually seemed to understand japanese
art and culture. He taught with such
insight and feeUng it was obvious he had
transcended the culture barrier. It was
through this profound understanding that
Kawasaki decided he could do the same
thing with Wes tern culture.

Washington in 1970 and went directly
into graduate school. He decided to
become an art history teacher and was
given the position of teaching assistant in
his first year. He was sti ll very, very timid,
but felt that teaching was the best way to
learn if he was to be successful as an
instructor on the college level. After two
years of graduate school, he was offered
his first full-time teaching position at
Montana State. He was able to establish a
good rapport with studio artists and did
not have to detach himself from art in the
true sense, a situation which allowed him
to maintain the best of both worlds, art
and humanities .
He became even more intimidated by
his lack of familiarity with the language,
and concentrated heavily on the subjects
of art and mathematics . He excelled in
math because in japan calcu lus is studied
in junior high school, but he would spend
two or three hours on his English assignments . From Shoreline he went to Portland State, taking art and humaniti es the

After teaching at Montana State,
Kawasaki returned to the UW for two
more years to prepare for his Ph.D. exam,
then went back to j apan to do dissertation
research. He was there less than a year
when he received an application form
from Evergreen. He still doesn't know how
they found him, but suspects Professor
Webb played a part in the scenario, and
he accepted a faculty position in 1976.
Kawasaki spent his childhood years in
the japanese countryside at his grandfather'S farm . Although his family was rich
in tradition, having been landlords with
tenant farmers for 300-400 years, his
father was disturbed by feudalistic standards and had entered the paper business.
But when the war came he decided to
return to the life of a farmer. With everincreasing air raids, the country-life
offered a sort of peace and safety.
Kawasaki's father was an ex-gentleman
turned peasant.

While there are many students of the
arts at Evergreen, there are only a handful
who get the opportunity to share their
work with the community at large. Monday, May 9, will begin a week-long

daily ritual , because of the beautiful
things she would say and the lovell'
personal items she would share, suo:h as
lacquerware, and cerami cs. She was very
sophisticated, not throu t;h formal educ ation, but estheticallv, and because
through trad iti on it was expected.

"Celebration of the Arts" that has been
designed as a vehicle for student artists to
share thei r work.

Father Kawasaki bui It a huge greenhouse for th e nurturing of thousands of
seedlings which were used by himself and
hi s tenant-f armers. Professor Kawasaki
recall s one of his earl iest memories when
at about two years of age he was being
jostled back and forth on his grandmother's back because a plane had
mistaken the greenhouse for a factory. He
heard a gigantic explosion and turned to
see a mass of green and red . To this day
the colors red and green still evoke
powerful association . At 12, Kawasaki ran
away from home to audition for a
musical, but was caught and as punishment was put in a Zen monastery for six
months. He grew tired of the regimen and
escaped to the home of an aunt.

Throughout the week, the CAB building
will be buzzing with activity from 1130
to 1:30 with performance stages on every
floor . On the main floor will be the
" jamwhich" stage which will play host to
many different bands playing various
styles of musi c. A stage in the cafeteria
will feature comedy, dance and solo
performances of music, while a stage in
,the Geoduck Lounge (CAB 3(6) will showcase poetry, dramatic readings and
possibly films . Each stage wi ll be managed by students in the Production,
Promotion and Performance program and
Foote says he hopes to hold some of the
events outside. Arrangements are also
being worked out to get more people seiling arts and crafts in and around the CAB
building. A ll of these daily events are free
and open to the public.

In answer to the question of returning
to japan, to go home, he said "it takes a
long time to become acclimated." He has
become Americanized to a point, but is
still Japanese. He loves America, but says
thoughtfully, "Since that is where I grew
up, I think that is where I should like to
go when I retire. It was my home when I
was young and I think I would like it to
be my home when I am old."
Kawasaki is still a practi Ci ng artist, but
he feels strongly that to I imit himself to
art and art alone, would deprive him of
the opportunity for growth on a personal
level. He realizes a great sense of achievement through teaching art history and his
enthusiasm is channeled to his students.

without a conflict of interes t to do, advocate groups and activities they believe in
and then set those beliefs aside as they
create a ba lanced bud get. And they will
do this . Indeed one finds that a board
member with inside knowledge of an
organ ization wi II ask sharper questi ons of
that budget than other board members.
Evergreen does do a good job of teaching people to consider somethin g bes ides
their own self interest in making a
dec isio n. Frankl y I think that deserves
praise, not an articl e which is inacc urate
and unfair .
It might be preferable that the S&A
Board did not have confl ict of interest,
however my choice as a coordinator is
between having a board with four
members without confict of interest or a
board of eight members with conflict of
interest. I will leave it to your judgment
as to whether eight board members with
conflict of interest are more representative of Evergreen's diversity than four
board members without conflict of
interest.
Frankly conflict of interest is not one of
S&A's current problems. Lack of interest
is a much greater problem. I am supposed
to select a board that represents the Evergreen student body, yet this fall I had
four student positions, one staff and one
faculty position to fill. I had one candidate apiece for the four student and one
staff position . I would have like more
diversity in my choice but we lucked out
again and got good people.
This winter I had four student positions
and one faculty position to fill. Again I
had one candidate for the faculty position
and one candidate apiece for three of the
student positions. I ended up with a board
6;7th male. For the final position the last
week of Winter Quarter, I had two men
and one woman apply of approximately
equal ability. I chose the slightly better
qualified, Margaret Morgan of the CPj .

Affirmative Action Plan Updated
by Claire Kuhns
What is Aff irmative Action (AA)? What
does It mea n to you as an indi v idual]
Where does it exist? Who does it serve l
The Aff irmative Action Poli CY sta tes in
its preamble : " It is th e policy of the
board of trustees of the Evergreen State
College to provide equa l employment
opportunity for all employees and quali fied appli cants, and equal access to programs and services for all students and
members of the community regardl ess of
race, color, national or igin, religion , sex,
marital status, age, handicap, or Vietnamera or disabled veteran status. The board
of trustees pledges that every effort will
be made to provide the re ;ources necessary for implementation on this policy.

ance. Well, I'm pointing a finger at you
Duane A. Heier, to assert your power as a
student, to put your money where your
mouth is and join the S&A Board as an
alternate board member this spring so
that you can be a full S&A board member
next fall, winter and spring, and fight "the
growing pockets of power."
~

You need but appear before the S&A
Board coordinator in CAB 305 and I will
guarantee, if you fit our criteria you will
be made an alternate. I am usually in the
office 9-5 but ca ll ahead, ext. 6220, to be
sure to fight for what you believe in. After
all the S&A Board is open access to powel
for any student. And since you object to
the "nasty" standing counc il, you can join
a DTF to rewtite the S&A guidelines. I will
be waiting Duane, though I will understand if you \5:too
busy like the majority
of students you
i nted your fi nger at.
P.S. This letter is
th longer than I
expected and more sarcastic than you
probably deserve, nevertheless I would
prefer my letter to be published in its
entirety or not at all.

its goal is to " produce every piece of art
