Native Americans Maintain Identity
second and third lectures in the Religion
and Public Policy Lecture Series. Ortiz
and Redbird are both Native Ameri cans:
Ortiz is a Tewa and Redbird, a Cherokee.
Professor Ortiz's lecture on April 26 was
entitled " To Carry Forth the Vine ." Professor Redbird's lecture was "Syneth es ia,
Synthesism, and Sin" and was presented
Tuesday; May 3.

What do you do when your culture
becomes encircled by another? How do
you maintain cu ltural identity when your
cultl:l re is not whole anymore? Who do
you blame for your present situation?
These are some of the problems faced by
Native Americans and discussed by Professor Alfonso Ortiz of the University of
New Mexico and Professor Helen Redbird
of Western Oregon State Coll ege at the

and also to a particular type of beetle
th at erases its tracks as positi ve symbol s
used by Native Amer ica n warriors .
Helen Redbird's lec ture was almost the
exact opposite o f Alfonso Orti z's, she
used fa cts and figures, and few stories .
The lec ture ce ntered around her con tention th at the Cherokee had done irreparabl e damage to hi s ow n cultura l and
sp iritu al identity by enslaVing o th er
'::herokees, and later Blacks . Th e laws that
bound together th e Cherokee's spiritual
and cultural ident ity were not for the
indi vidual Cherokee but were there to
pro tec t the identity of the whole o f the
tribe

Ortiz adapted himself to both Amer ica n
cultures throu gh traditional Native Ameri can and American publi c educations.
Ortiz's grandmother doubted that he
could maintain his Tewa identity while
away at college, so to help him maintain
his cu ltural identity, Orti z's grandmother
made him tran slate what he had learned
into Tewa eac h time he came home to
vi sit. Orti z only real ized what his grandmother had been up to years later.
Ortiz's lecture was not a collection of
facts and figures, but rather a collection
of stories that showed how deep an
influence "reli gion" played in the lives of
Native Ameri cans . By not giving a formal
lecture, Ortiz presented him self as a
friendly person wi th experiences to relate
rather than as a teacher with lessons that
must be learned. Orti z questioned the
philosophy of use or elimination that is
rampant today, and asked, "What is its
place in the great scheme of thingsl " By
asking this question of everything in the

environment, Native Ameri ca ns became
" reli gious" co ncerning hills, plain s,
animals, plants, and them selves .
The warriors were important in the
tribe, Ortiz sa id, and to protect th em
tribes adopted protective symbols to
adorn their warriors' faces, bodi es, and
battlegear . Often these symbols represe nted animals with specific characteristi cs that were envi ed . Ortiz pointed to
the butterfly as a symbol of elusiveness,

To the detri ment of the Cherokee
nation, several powerful Cherokpes became involved in the slavetrade accord , ng
to Professor Redbird . The Cherokee laws
were direct ly and indi sputabl y vlo latpc by
thi s slave trade and through materi al al 'J
commercial agreements made by a sm~ 1 1
minority of th e Cherokee natIOn whom
Redbird labeled as traitor s. Redb ird contends these agreements eventually lost
them not only their homeland, but also
their cultural and spiritu al Ident ity
Though Proiessor Redbird li ves fd r irorn
the ori ginal home of t he Cherokee, shp
feels th ilt she is still Cherok ee by virtue of
her descendants as well as the Cherokpe
law

Philosophy And Ideals Vs. Budgets And Allocations

There are two main forums for student
governance at TESC, one based upon
philosophy and ideals, the other on
budgets and all ocations. I n recent years,
the systems based on philosophy have
been neglec ted, while the group based
on budgets has been the object of student
interest and controversy . Here at Evergreen governance procedure rests on a
sound foundation of ideals, the Committee on Governance (COG) document.

W e are currently subject to COG 3, the
second revision of the original COG . The
third revision, COG 4, should be in effect
by next fall The COG document contains
strong language concerning the decision
making process at TESe. In addition to a
number of other particulars, the COG
specifies that governance and decision
making should have the following
qualities .
Decisions and the methods for their
impl ementation must be handled at the
level of responsibility and accountability
closest to those affected by a particular
decision .
Those persons making dec isions must

be held accountable ... subject to conseq uences commensurate with the seriousness of the decision as well as (being)
respon sibl e for justifying it.

Decisions must be made only after consultation and coordination with students,
faculty, and staff who are both affected
by and interested in the issues, except on

Minutes of all DTF meetings are to be
kept and forwarded to the Council. In
addition to charging and keepin g track of
DTFs, the Counci I as spec ified by th e
Washin gton Admini strati ve Code wil l
meet at least biweek ly, shall constitute
the forum fo r di sc uss ion and advi ce o n
iss ues aff ec ting the coll ege.
The Evergreen council will also have a
"watchdog" fun ction as the p lace where

those rare occasions in which circumstances do not al low formal consultation
with those to be affected .
Deci sion making processes must provide
equal opportunity to initiate and parti cipate in policy making, and Evergreen
pol icies apply equally regardless of job
description, status or rol e in t he
community .
One of .the primary vehicles for co nveying these princ iples into prac tice is the
mechanism of the Disappea ring Task
Force. Since TESC " wishes to avoid the
usual patterns of extensive standing committees and governing counc il s" the community uses ad hoc committees, or DTF s
for the purposes of gathering informatio n,
preparing position papers, propos ing
policy, or merely offering advice. All DTFs
dealing with nontrivial matters are to be
charged in con nection with the Evergreen
Cou ncil.

the co ll ege's principl es are reiterated and
actions are weighed for compli ance with
t hose principles .

In reality, few of the council's guidelines are bein g adhered to . Instead of biweekly meetings there have only been
three thi s year. Rather than 15 student
representatives, the last meeting had two .
Neither the Evergreen Councilor the
information center are up to date on DTFs
and study groups in process

An ent irely different situation exists
in the Services and Activites Revi ew
Board . Whil e th e Evergreen council may
suffer for lack of power, S&A has no such
problem for the board administers over
$400,000 in student activiti es fees, Under
the EAC, the board is to be composed of
. six students, one fa culty member and
one staff member shall allocate Services
and Activities Fee income, subject to
approva l of t hose all ocations by the board

PIECE OF MY MIND SERIES ENDS
WITH EXAMINATION OF FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. "While there's always concern over protecting our First Amendment
rights from erosion, we've really wasted
those privileges," says Bob Macleod,
news director of Olympia's KGY Radio.
MacLeod will examine this subject in a
talk, "F irst Amendment: More Wasted
Than Eroded?" at noon, Wednesday,
May 18, in Olympia's First United Methodist Church. Macleod is the fourth and
final speaker in the spring "Piece of My
Mind" series, which is a community forum
that exp lores ethical and moral issues
confronting American society.
Within the past few years the extraordinary has become commonplace in the
field of genetic engineering. Gene transfer
experiments with mice have produced
changes in the animals that could have a
major impact on the future of animal
production. One of the scientists involved
in gene transfer experiments, Dr. Richard
Palmiter from the Howard Hughes Medical
I nstitute at the University of Washington,
will be on the campus of The Evergreen
State College on Friday, May 13, to address the subject "GENETIC ENGINEERING: EXPRESSIONS OF FOREIGN GENES
INTRODUCED IN MICE."
The Office of Career Planning &
Placement has schedu led a PERFORMING
ARTS WORKSHOP on May 18. It will be
held from 130 to 4 p .m . in CAB 110.

THE PARABLE OF THE GOLDEN ROAD.
The Old Man of the Mud once spoke to a
group of his disciples regarding the meaning of the Parable of the Golden Road to
Unlimited Devotion "The Golden Road
leads to the Emerald City; its towering
needles pointing to space tempt many a
disciple. But first the Golden Road must
pass Pain Field and its flying apes. Decide
yourselves the value of emeralds . The
Road also leads to the Valley of the Eye
of Horus, where Blue Herons wing softly
overhead, and Children of Light dance to
make the sun rise . Either path is yours to
choose." The Old Man of the Mud makes
no choice; his job is to shed light, and
not to master.
The sun has returned to our skies,
illuminating the fields, baking the mud,
and greening Ameri ca's forests. Old as
time, the cyc le has been repeated. The
wheel comes round and we acknowledge
the sparkling crystal eye with procession
and pomp/romp. Endocrine systems pulse
to the rhythm of the Cosmic Dialectic:
testosterone/ estrogen - order and chaosthe heliotropic growth of crystals, herbs
and pyramids; and the darkness of mud,
mystery and madness . Sweet madness!
Here comes sunshine l Celebrate! Celebrate!
MISSING FROM THE VERTICAL FlU

Film Student 1984-85 Curriculum Proposed
Goes Video
by David Gaff
" Thi s is a c hance to edu ca te the publi c
on th e misund erstood co ll ege life at Evergreen ," said Evergreen student and filmmaker Doug Bertran about his 14-minute
video to be shown next Saturday, May 21
at 7 p.m . on King 5 Magazine. This past
fall, Bertran was approached by Michael
McCallum, King 5 Magazine producer and
ex-Evergreen student, about doing a v ideo
on TESe Bertran declined to do the video
in the fall, but agreed to film in the
w in ter . McCallum wanted to give Evergreen the chance to show itself as the
modern innovative coll ege that it is. The
shooting was done between January and
late April on both TESC- and King 5
equipment.

Beginning Thursday , the proposed
Curriculum for the 1984/ 85 academic year
will be posted for community comment at
four locations CAB, LAB I, the 2200 area
o f the Library lobby and the Communica·
tion s Building. The Tria l Ba ll oon provides
an advanced look at the curri culum which
will appear in the new col lege catalog to,
be published early in' fall qu arter.

The academi c deans indicated that the
curri culum has a number of new features .
Several of the college's areas of speciali zarion have been redesigned, including
study in the social sciem:es and the
humanities. Two areas w ith substantial
student interest-computers and language
study have been designed to provide a
more predictable and coherent academic
program The curr icu lum impl ements a
number of the proposals generated by the
Long Range Cu rri cu lum DTF which met
over the past year and a half. All curri cular areas show an increased sens itivity to
student demands for clearer curricular

Thi s presentation on Evergreen is
Bertran 's first experience with video, as he
was prev ious ly a film student. He has
been helped on this project by photographers Mark Smith, Guy Gui ll et and
Peter Miller. Through his work with
McCallum, Bertran has been ab le to complete three videos: Evergreen, and also
studies o n shorebird migration and the
harbour seals of Washington. A lso May 21,
KING 5 Magazine will be showing ving
Bertran doing an ecologic portrayal of the
harbour seal in Washington state. Bertran
would like to thank everyone who helped
and cooperated with the production with
this piece on Evergreen, and hopes everybody will tune in May 21 , at 7 p.m. to

do to keep things moving is to have a
proposal ready for every item on the
agenda. I have done that quite a bit and
some members of the board are concerned. At the same time, I feel this is
important in that sometimes p-eople don 't
know what they feel on an issue until
they hear someone else's specific proposal. So I throw proposals out to try and
get thi ngs, but that's tended to put me in
the position of being an advocate rather
than facil itator. During the spring all ocation process I have been wearing two hats

the same time I have a rather straightforward manner in what I would like to

bodies representation is less expl ic it
The S&A survey is one of the only
methods we have of receiving input from
the whole student body. That's a real concern of ours. The board so seldom sees a
stud ent who isn't directly interested with
the paid coordinator of some budget . We
don' t see very many non-aligned people.

CPI: You mentioned that part of your
responsibility is to keep abreast of
political issues .

Naturally if you talk to budget representatives all the time you are going to
tend to take up some of their attitudes as
to what should be done. I'm not always
completely convinced that the sum total
of budget representatives' attitudes match
the sum total of students' attitudes. In
addition to soliciting this input, the board
conducts dialogue with the president's
cabinet, something the board initiated last
year .

Bames: Political and philosophical
issues underlie almost every issue the S&A
board is concerned with. Take for example
expanding the CRC to 48 weeks a year.

important, but for the board that's a very

Over The Brink
Greetings Greeners, hope you' re all doing fine. This week is the time to start
thinking about next year's academia, which is pretty hard considering how nice the
weather's been. It's been very frustrating for me, going down the hall, looking out
the window onto Red Square and seeing you enjoying the weather while I'm cooped
up in this stuffy office churning out another mindless column . And herrree it is .
That's where our money goes ...
Seems the big money is made in defense these days. It's common knowledge that
the pentagon is an easy mark for moneygrubbing defense contractors, eac h year
they spend beaucoup tax dollars on fan cy weaponry and spare parts. I recall Reagan
sayi ng he wou ld stop the endless cyc le of " tax and spend." Somehow .he doesn't
thi nk defense is a part of thi s cycle, yet defense is what keeps th e cycle going. One
examp le is the Ai r Force who paid Boeing Co a wh opping $916.55 a pi ece for small
plastic caps that fit o n the legs of navigator stools. My first thought when I read thi s
was "gee it 'must be m ighty spec ial plasti c" Of course it wasn' t. The Air Force
deCided to draw the line w hen Boei ng upped the pri ce to $1,1 18.26 per cap. Hasn't
the Ai r Force ever hea rd of duct tape? For that kind of mon ey they cou ld buy a case
o t tl,... stuff and never have to worr y about t he bare legs of navi gator stools sc uffing
up the floor o t our overpr iced airplan es .

I finally figured out what your story
" Muddy Martians" in last weeks CPJ was
all about, and I think you're grossly misinformed. What people saw were not
Martians or any other kind of alien beings,

CROP was formed in 1946 in response
to the need for food and medicine by the
European peop le di splaced by Wo rld

Chri sti an churches who sought to organize
a grass roots res ponse to Europe's severe
post-war problems. Boxcars were sent
acros s the Us. to collect grains, food and
medi ca l suppli es from Ameri ca's Midwestern breadbasket and the northeastern

Nisqually Delta is a living museum. It
is the only major estuary in Washington
still in a relatively natural state. In an
estuary, nutrient-rich streams empty into
the ocean and provide a consistently
abundant food source for many coastal
critters . As a result, estuaries tend to be
biologically rich areas . Seaweeds, crustaceans, sea ls, raccoons, shorebirds, and
deer are only a sampling of the many life
forms found thriving in and around
estuaries.

The Audubon Nature Center is located
in the old Luhr House at Nisqually Reach ,
providin g a community nature center for
the people of southern Pu get Sou nd . Its
sta ff hopes to expand awa reness, develop
appreciation, and promote a deeper
understanding of the natural wor ld . "The
bottom line is serv ing," says center
director Ric Zarwell, " W e want peopl e to
get to know south Puget Sound and we

We want to stimulate an interest in the

these functions? The S&A board is not
designed to be such a forum. There is not
enough input from faculty staff or even

students. The board is composed of one
faculty, one staff member, six students,
myself and Lynn Garner. We are set up to
administer a very small restricted body of
issues concerning services and activities.
Consequently a number of the issues
brought before the board are not issues
that we have any business dealing with .
For instance, take the issue of whether
there are enough third world students at
Evergreen. This issue is primari Iy in the
realm of academ ics and administration.
S&A has a role to play in that we fund
some third world cultural events through
S&A organizations, but it is a limited role
at best. The S&A board is inadequate to
address third world representation in
academics and recruitment, that's not

Greener

even in our ballpark, it is beyond the
capacity of the coordinator of the S&A
board to consider these issues in a comprehensive manner. These are not the
type of thing we can make recommendations on . If you go to make a recommendation to the admission's office or the
academic deans, you have to have your
facts down . You can't go on rumor and
hearsay. We're not in the position to
make such exhaustive studies .

The S&A board is simply not set up to
deal with issues on a philosophical basis.
Obviously whe.n you spend money, you
make political decisions but what tends
to happen with a new board and coordinator every year, philosophical matters
can be obscured by the mechanism of
allocations. Take the issue of whether we
provide enough support for third world
cultural events . W e don't see that issue
per se. We sit down to look at x number
of budgets with y number of dollars, for
z number of cultural events and it's difficult to focus our priorities . The board
ends up bookkeeping on the budgets
without considering the deeper issues
involved . To a certain extent, this is
inherent in the process partly because of
the tec hnical information required to
make an all oc"t,on, and partly because
we're dealing with dollars. That's what it
comes down to in the end, bottom line
figures . The board has to put so much
energy into understanding the budgets
from bookkeeping prospective, that there
is a tendency to lose sight of what they
are all about.

that it would make our job simpler cer,
tainly there are some issues associat.e d
with S&A that I can't figure out how S&A
can deal with. I think there needs to be a
forum for popular representation and
input into the philosophic issues that
confront this institution.

We have 44 budgets this year and they
all come down to three basic questions :
how much day-to-day operation support
you want to give them, how much events
support you want to give them and how
much travel and conference fees you
want to give them. Those are the three
questions you can ask of each budget and
some budgets two out of three of these
questions don' t apply. Hell, I don't know
