Since the Solomon Amendment was put
into effect, hundreds of TESC students have
been put in the positon of having to certify
that they have registered for the draft before
being aUowed to received financial aid. Many
have done so and are now receiving their
money. Some others have not and are now
needing to "go it alone" or drop out of
school. This has spawned a major conflict
between some students and community
members, who think that TESC should be
doing more to help these non-registrants and
protest the law, and some TESC administrators, who feel they are doing all they
can for what seems to them to be a very small
number of students.
Today, according to Georgette Chun,
Director of Financial Aid at TESC, there are
but seven who have not returned their compliance forms. Three are not coming to
school, two are attending but are paying their
own way, and two are officially on-leave .
"This registration requirement hasn't affected our students," says Chun. "I would
expect a much larger group [of nonregistrants) considering this schooL,"
But Chun does point out that the statistics
might not show the whole picture since
students usually do not explain to the financial aid office why they drop out of the financial aid application process. This is
demonstrated by the testimony of one financial aid employee who described an incident
wherein a student tore up his financial aid
award letter in protest of the registration requirements. "He just showed up as being
'cancelled' .' ,
Pat McCann, director of Innerplace at
TESC, has spoken with several students who
are either not going to school this year or are
having a difficult time doing so because they
did not receive fipancial aid due to the
registration requirements . "Of all the years
I've been here, I've never met anyone who
would say that they registered for the draft."
One reason for this discrepancy is that
many students here at Evergreen and
elsewhere have simply not applied for financial aid, fearing complicity between their
school's financial aid office and the Selective Service. One TESC student put it this
way: "I'd rather have my name on as few
lists as possible." Since the Justice Department has already indicted 14 young men for
refusing to register, and all of those were
public non-registrants, this seems a valid
fear.
Two students who preferred to remain
anonymous said that they were presented no
alternatives by the financial aid office except
to register or lose their awards. "Their tone
was always threatening," said one.
Chun described one situation wherein a
student came to her office to say he didn't
....
Financial Aid office had already made most
of the financial aid awards for this fall, so
the computer was coded to hold the awards
for students until they returned a letter of
comp liance. A letter was sent to all students
which provided them with a checklist by
which to show that they had registered or
that they did not need to for certain official
reasons - being female or out of the age

Affirmative Action: Wright on!
By Gretchan Mattila
Some of us have carefully planned our
paths to Evergreen. Others have taken a
blind stab and ended up here . Rebecca
Wright of Affirmative Action is one person
who took that stab in the dark, and upon seeing the light, found herself employed at
Evergreen. In a recent interview with Rebecca Wright, I gained insight into who she is,
where she came from and the how and why
of her involvement with Affirmative Action.
Wright came to Olympia' six years ago
from Memphis, Tennessee. Leaving a tragic
situation behind, she set out to start a new
life for herself. "When my husband was killed in a car accident, my son and I decided
to start over. We picked Coeur d' Alene,
Idaho out of the encyclopedia. We went
there ' but didn't like it, so we kept driving.
We liked Washington state." Wright and her
son, John, drove through most of
Washington before settling in Olympia.

want to register and wanted to know his
alternatives . "I said,'Go home and think
about it, go and register tomorrow, then
bring the receipt to me.' " Chun explained
that she could not have accepted the signed
compliance form in that situation because
she felt that she was required to verify the
student's honesty.
TESC Dean Larry Stenberg is quick to
ass ure that Evergreen will not pass on names
of students applying for financial aid to the
Selective Service, "The College is not going
to keep information to pass on to the Selective Service, because, lik e the students, the
institution is protesting this requirement."
Stenberg refers to a letter from the Pres iTESC was notified in June that the school
would need to comply with the federal decisions to verify student compliance with the
Solomon Amendment. At that time the
Wright's method of starting over may
seem amazing to some, even Wright. "Yes,
we were desperate, but we made a good
choice. I like Olympia. We have an old farm,
we have goats, dogs, chickens and guinea
pigs. We really enjoy it."
It may seem to be quite a challenge to
manage a farm, as well as a son and a
demanding job like Affirmative Action. "It
is," says Wright. "It's a lot of work, but it
guarantees that I get out in the fresh air every
weekend ." Then thoughtfully, as if seeking
personal insight, she continued, "I suppose
that's the kind of thing that seems crazy to
a lot of people; spending that much money
on feed and that much effort to keep up an
old place like that, but I find it real satisfying. When I go home, I can relax."
Wright attended law school in Tennessee
and Illinois but she put off taking the bar
exam after her husband died. "My.husband
died just after I fmished law school, so I took
the Washington bar for the first time last fall.
Students respond to
athletic scholarships
. See letters page 4
I failed it, so I took it again in the spring .. ..
I had to take a bunch of leave without pay .. ..
I managed to get through this time, so, I just
became a lawyer last May."
Wright became involved with Affirmative
Action during law school working for a legal
services program set up to help low income
people with legal problems. She spent her
junior year in law school working with
migrant workers in Illinois, and her last year
working with the elderly in Memphis. Referring to the elderly she says, "That population really demonstrates a lot of points made
in American Pictures [a slide presentation
shown in October) about the affects of
malnutrition on people on a life long basis.
This is the result of a ghetto system."
After her final two years of law school,
Wright made the great transition to life in
Olympia. Since she arrived here six years

History of the
Solo-m on
Amendment
By Cliff Missen
Last August, Congress approved a piece
of legislation called the Solomon Amend ment (named after its spo nsor, Representative Solomon of New York) which denied
federal financial aid to st udents who have not
registered for the draft. Since then the law
has been subject to massive protest , dozens
of lawsuits, and varied interpretations, only
to emerge unscathed and very much in effect.
The Solomon Amendment has been attacked for all the same reasons as its parent
legislation, the Selective Service Registration
Act. Critics cite that the laws are unconstitutional in that they discriminat e aga inst men
and lhat they were approved and put into effect without the legally required evaluation
periods. In addition, with the Solomon
Amendment cutting off school funds for
needy students, it target s the poor and
minorities. Finally, in a Minnesota lawsui t
initiated by the Minnesota PIRG (Publi c Interest Research Group), a U.S. District Court
Judge ruled last June that the law was unconstitutional si nce it required men to incriminate themselves and it punished people
without the protection of a trial and courl
of law.
The Supreme Court voted to stay the i njunct ion, which would have stopped the en forcement nationwide, a nd promised to (;onsider rhe matter this fall. so t h~ la Iv i, ., till
on the books. The Supreme Court ha~ yet
to consider the suit a nd, as of last week, is
n o t scheduled to do so soo n.
As of June, 1983, any person eligible for
the draft must have certified that they have
regl., tered before receiving any financial aid
which is federally funded. The aid programs
affected are the Guaranteed Student loans.
PLUS Auxilary Loans, National Direct Student Loans, Pell Grants, Supplemental
Grams, College Work/Study Assistance, and
State Student Incentive Grants. In short,
nearly everyth ing that most school s have to
offer their students besides a relativel y sma ll
amount of state funds and privale grants and
scholarships.
Originally this was to be enforced by requiring that draft-eligible st udent s submit
proof of registration to their schoo ls in the
form of a receipt or letter from the Selective
Service. Instead, today students are simply
required to sign a statement of compliance
which can be designed by the individual
sc hool. The law allows the Secretary of
Education or the Director of the Selective
Service access to statements for purposes of
verification. They can deny aid to any student and it is the responsibility of the SIUdent to prove his compliance.
Until students are required to show proof
of registration in 1985, the Department of
Education will be doing occasional spotchecks to verify the school's enforcement of
the law. There's no telling the number of
students who have been truthful on the compliance forms, but the penalties for lying on
the Federal forms can be more severe than
those for not registering.
Some schools, including the University of
California, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and
numerous others, are offering alternative
forms of aid to students who will not sign
compliance forms. In addition, some church
groups, like the Mennonite Church, Church
of the Brethren, and the Friends, are offering aid to their students. The Mennonite
Church schools are offering alternative aid
to all students regardless of their faith
tradition .

Parent Center.
No matter how frustrating, excttmg or
stimu lating one's time on campus is, if you
have children your responsibility and concern
for their welfare stays with you. Many student parents are familiar with the scenario
of debating world economic issues or studying cellular division under a microscope when
suddenly some primitive, more instinctual
mechanism jolts you into another world .
You find yourself wondering if your preschooler's flu symptoms have subsided or if
your child remembered his or her house key
for after school. Despite the extensive child
care planning that parents do, most parents
have experienced (or worry about) a sudden
change in circumstances involving their child
when it is necessary that they be contacted
immediately.
How easily could you be located in the
event of an emergency concerning your
child? At present the chances of security finding you are hit and miss. A school program
may meet at several locations on campus and
students on independent learning contracts
leave even fewer clues as to where they may
be located on short notice. There have been
several frustrating incidents this quarter for
sec urity , parents and children whenparents
could not be found.
In response to this problem Security, with
the help of the Parents Center, is organizing an information file of parents and where
they may be located on campus. If you
would like to make yourself more accessible
in the cllse of an emergency involving your
child, pick up a parents form from Security
in Sem bldg. 2150 or at the Parents Center,

at St. Peters Hospital. A long gash in her
forehead and many bruises and scratches
were the.most apparent injuries. In the week
since the accident, she has recovered
remarkably well from these injuries.
Unfortunately, this was not the full extent
of her injuries. A piece of tissue dislodged
from the retina of her right eye is creating
what she call s 'cobwebs' and white flashes.
At this point, she is severely limited in her
abi lit y to read and is unable to perform the
myriad of things that make up her normal
life. Though a bit depressed, CrableSundmacher looks at the s ituation
philosophically. She says she is getting a
perspective on her life that she normally
doesn't get when she's going full steam.
Crable-Sundmacher is a visiting faculty at
Evergreen and has taught in the Democracy
and Tyranny program as well as teaching
writing, literature, dance and performing arts
classes. She is currently teaching Movement,
Space and Communication with Meg Hunt
and Tom Foote. She doesn't yet know how
this acccident will affect her teaching, but
will know more when the condition of her
eye is diagnosed. Crable-Sundmacher hopes
to be back on campus this Monday.

Athletic scholarshills a
little closer to reality
By Bradley P. Blum
Evergreen took one step closer to the
establishment of a scholarship program for
athletes last week .
A document titled," A Proposal for
Scholar-Athlete Awards" was submitted for
consideration to the Athletic Advisory Board
(AAB) at its meeting last Thursday morning.
The proposal includes guidelines for the
raising and distribution of scholarship funds
and a list of safeguards to prevent abuses of
the program.
Director of Recreation and Athletics, Jan
Lambertz, who authored the proposal,
chaired the meeting, which was attended by
five persons from outside AAB membership.
Referring to a student quoted in a CP J article (10127/ 83) as say ing that scholarships
might lead to football and fraternities at
TESC, Lambertz restated her belief that
Evergreen could conduct an athletic scholarship program without becoming another

ago, Wright has worked as a probation officer for the district court, then as a title examiner at the Department of Transportation.
Her job as title examiner was to make sure
none of the property owners in a seven county area were imposed upon by rural highway
projects.
.
Reflecting on the different work she has
done, Wright commented, "That's one nice
thing about law. Law's an overcrowded field
now, but it's a useful degree for a lot of different jobs."
After her first two years in Olympia,
Wright connected with Affirmative Action
at Evergreen by responding to an ad in the
newspaper. She has been here for four years.
This year Wright revised the Affirmative Action policy. It's the first time the policy has
been revised since 1977.
A major revision in the policy is the training section which says that everyone who
works at the college will participate once annually in cross-cultural training. Last
month's showing of American Pictures was
designated by Wright as that annual event,
a move which created some controversy a controversy which began due to a
misunderstanding. "Last spring I started taking this policy around to different areas on
campus. I took it to 35 different areas and
presented it. It went twice to the Board of
Trustees and there was discussion.
Somehow, in the second meeting of the
Board of Trustees, I came away honestly
believing that the Board had approved the
policy as it then stood. There had been a lot
of suggestions made and incorporated into
it. .. Since I made a budget request to be able
to bring American Pictures here, I started
planning for American Pictures to be that

to my attention that the Board had not, in
fact, approved the policy."
The Third World Coalition presented a
petition to the Board in support of American
Pictures and cross-cultural training. At the
end of the meeting, the Board endorsed,
bringing American Pictures to Evergreen,
but not as the mandatory cultural event,
since the policy had not yet been approved.
Wright expressed discouragement over thi!
development.
" ... They endorsed bringing American Pictures here, but the policy is still under consideration. It's not yet been finally approved, so it goes back to the Board next
month," said Wright. She did not sound very
hopeful however.
Affirmative Action is available to
everybody. Many people are members of
protected groups and have a number of
resources under the civil rights statute. the
proposed policy specifically prohibits racial
and sexual harrassment and makes it the
responsibility of supervisors and faculty to
put an end to such behavior. The policy also
calls for equal employment for all employees
and qualified applicants, as well as equal access to programs and services for all students
and members of the community regardless
of race, color, national origin, religion, sex,
marital status, age, handicap or Vietnam era
or disabled veteran status.
If the rights of any student or citizen of
the Evergreen community are violated he or
she is encouraged to go to Afffirmative Ac·
tion and file a grievance. Grievances can be
flied in the form of a formal written
grievance or an infonnal complaint. The Af·
firmative Action office is located in Library

Special Work
For Special People
Peace Corps volunteers are
people pretty much like you. People with commitment and skills who
have assessed their lives and decided
they want to be of service to others
in a troubled world.
The problems our volunteers
deal with overseas aren't new. Such
as the cycle of poverty that traps one
generation after another because
they're too busy holding on to get
ahead. The debilitating effects of
malnutrition, disease, and inadequate shefter. Education and skills
that are lacking, and the means to
get them too.
Your college training qualifies
you to handle more of these problems than you might drink. Such as
teaching nutrition and health practices; designing and building bridges
and irrigation systems; working on
reforestation and fisheries pro-
grams; introducing better agricultural techniques; advising small
businesses and establishing cooperatives; or teaching math and science
at the secondary level.
The number of jobs to do is
nearly as great as the number of volunteers who have served since 1961:
Nearly 90,000. More volunteers are
being chosen now for two-year
assignments beginning iri the next
3-12 months in Africa, Asia, Latin
America, and the PaCific.
Our representatives will be
pleased to discuss the opportunities
with you.

as the policing agent of the Selective ~er
vice," explained Stenberg. "This college
should not be put in the role of policing the
student's Selective Service registration."
Stenberg also pointed out that national
education groups, like the National Association of Financial Aid Administrators, have
also protested the Solomon Amendment.
NOCARD, the New Olympia Committee
Against Registration and the Draft, is a local
anti-draft group which is composed of TESC
student and concerned co\nIl1unity members.
They have complained of: a lack of sensitivity on the part of the school and the financial aid office. They wrote a letter to the
President's Cabinet, along with Innerplace
and other local groups, in August to ask that
the school try and identify non-registrants
more accurately and help fund those who
need aid. This apparently led the President's
Cabinet to issue the aforementioned statement. But, as Pat McCann of Innerplace
laments, "The feedback and support from
members of the administration has been very
positive ... but the financial aid office has
been mysteriously unhelpful."
As of yet, there has been no public advertisement that TESC will not supply names
of students apply ing for financial aid to the
Selective Service, or that TESC is trying to
provide alternative aid to those normally
elegible for financial aid. NOCARD has protested this policy and, although it is too late
for some who have already made plans
elsewhere, is trying to contact students to let
them know.
Larry Stenberg defended this policy by explaining that the number of studen ts known
to be in the situation of losing their aid for
non-registration was relatively few, thus the
school tried to reach the "hard cores" by
phone to offer the state and school aid.
"They've identified to us who they are ... so
pUblicity is not a critical issue." Stenberg
feels that returning students should have
already made this contact with the financial
aid office and know better than to worry
about them turning names over to the Selective Service. "I think that's a smokescreen
response." he says in reply to students who
claim suspicion of a Financial Aid/Selective
Service connection.
Stenberg points out that a lot of student
anger toward the draft registration is being
misprojected towards the Financial Aid office, "I don't know anyone more sensitive
and responsible than the people here in the
Financial Aid office. We all oppose it (the
Solomon Amendmlmt) .. . we think it is inappropriate." He continues to say, "We really
hope this is found to be unconstitutional. As
it is, we become adversaries to our own
students.
Stenberg also pointed out that TESC is a
relatively new school without the large endowments and scholarship funds that other
schools have, which makes even more difficult the task of finding alternative aid for
non-registrants. He stated that if the
Solomon Amendment is not found unconstitutional the school will have to find
some other forms of financial aid for
Georgette Chun, Director of Financial Aid
resisters.
For the time being, non-registrants who
would normally be eligible for aid should
visit the financial aid office. Students seeking spiritual counseling or general information can contact Innerplace. And all students
interested in helping to oppose the draft or
helping non-resistrants are invited to attend
a NOCARD meeting on the first and third
Wednesday of each month.
TESC was notified in June that the schoot
would need to comply with the federal deci ·
sions to verify student compliance with the
Solomon Amendment. At that time the
Financial Aid office had already made most
of the financial aid awards for this fall, so
the computer was coded to hold the awards
for students until they returned a letter of
compliance. A letter was sent to all student s
which provided them with a checklist by
which to show that they had registered or
that they did not need to for certain official
reasons - being female or out of the age
range, for example. Conscience objector
status was not listed. A follow-up letter was
sent July 8th to 124 persons who had not yet
responded, and the list dwindled down to 46
by mid-September.
Two students interviewed said that they
were presented no alternatives by the financial aid office except to register or lose their
awards . "Their tone was always threatening," said one .
Chun described one situation wherein a
student came to her office to say he didn 't
want to register and wanted to know hi s
alternatives. "I said,'Go home and think
about it, go and register tomorrow , then
bring the receipt to me.' " Chun explained
that she could not have accepted the signed
compliance form in that situation because
she felt that she was required to verify the
student's honesty.
For the time being, non-registrants wh o
would normally be eligible for aid should
visit the financial aid office. Students seek·
ing spiritual counseling or general informa·
tion can contact Innerplace. And all students
interested in helping to oppose the draft or
helping non-registrants are invited to attend
a NOCARD meeting on the first and third
Wednesday of each month. NOCARD can

Thanksgiving fast to raise
awareness of world hunger
By Franclsco A. Chateaubriand
"There is enough food to provide the 4
billion people of the world with a nutritutional diet, yet 800 million or one-fifth of the
population live in absolute poverty."
This might seem like an incredible number
of people to be going hungry in the world,
but according to Joe Klein of Innerplace, this
total is real enough. Klein has an internship
as a hunger issues advocate and is attempting to spread awareness of global hunger by
bringing the issue to the forefront for all to
examine.
Klein is calling for people who are con·
cerned about this issue to demomonstrate
this concern by participating in a day long
fast on November 17th. He feels a fast is a
good way to dramatically empathize with
those of the world who don't ever have a
choice.
"By fasting, we involve ourselves personally in the experience of not having
enough to eat. It is especially appropriate
that the fast take place just as we are prepar·
ing to partake in rituals of Thanksgiving,
where we dramatically acknowledge the
overabundance of food in this country."
On the eve of November 17 Klein has
organized a gathering of people, whether
they chose to fast or not, to share their reflec-
Cooper Point Journal
tions on the overabundance of tood m our
country and how our attitudes and lifestyles
are influenced by this. The gathering will be
on the first floor of the CAB in the student
lounge next to the vending machines at 5
p.m . The discussion will include questions
like: How is our overabundant lifestyle a part
of the problem of world hunger? What are
some realistic changes we can make to begin
alleviating suffering caused by malnutrition?
What are some concrete ways of becoming
personally involved?
A filmstrip will also be shown, "Food
First: The Myth of Scarcity," by The In·
stitute for Food and Development Policy.
Klein has been researching organizations
working in the field and will have information on their activities and how to contact
them available. These groups include Church
World Service/CROP, OXFAM America
(Oxford Committee for Famine Relief) and
Bread for the World.
If people are unsure about participating
in the fast and are interested in discussing the
methods and history of fasting they should
contact Klein, who wiu arrange a meeting for
that purpose the day before the fast. Klein
can be reached at Innerplace at X6145 or at
866-1391. He will be at a table in the CAB
throughout the next week with a sign-up
sheet for the fast and additional information.

Should
Evergreen pay
for athletes
To the Editor:
The purpose of Evergreen athletics is to
provide an opportunity too participate in
sports and rccreallon, and to partake 111 the
camaraderie that develops as a result of those
acllvitles. It is a good way for the amateur
to get out and have fun, win or lose.
Some people seem to feel this is not
enough. They wish to attract high level
athletes with sports scholarships 111 order to
create winning teams that they can be proud of. Because Evergreen athletics exists for
the student, however, illS wrong to do this.
The number of people that many of the
teams can accomodate is limited, especially
If winning becomes so important that we feel
we must buy athletes. An 1I1f1ux of paid
athletes will displace students less experienced in compelltive athletics. These inexperienced athletes may not win consistently
to win Evergreen a reputation of being excellent athletically, but that doesn't mean the
experience of playing is any less valuable to
them. The goal of winning is secondary to
the personal growth and social ties gained by
the participants in those teams. In contrast
promoters of athletic scholarships want winning teams that bring prestige to themselves
as well as to the Evergreen community. This
constitutes the manipulation of the athletic
program to serve their needs as opposed to
the needs of the students. Their desire is to
see cutthroat, hotshot competition, whereas
the majority of the students desire healthy
interaction with other students and teams.
As an academic institution Evergreen's
prestige comes through its academics . It does
not and should not come from athletics.
Athletics scholarships also raise the question of amateur status. Intercollegiate
athletes are required to have amateur status.
It is inaappropriate for athletes to receive
monetary conpensation, as in a sports
scholarship, and still retain their amateur
rating.
Let's not trade an athletic program that
is beneficial to many for athletic prestige that
will be meamngful only to a few .
Peter Lindsay
To the Editor:
I believe TESC can no longer afford to
deny athletic scholarships to individuals who
are drawn to Evergreen by its reputation of
academic excellence and who, in addition,
are aspiring athletes.
Just as we rely on the staffers and faculty
outside the Athletic Department to maintain
high standard of academics, we must also relyon the Athletic Department hierarchy; i.e.,
Jan Lambertz and company, to uphold the
criterion and atmosphere conducive to the
achievements the school has attained as an
alternat i ve / progressi ve
educat ion al
institution.
Let me pose a question to you. What if
a student legitimately is in need of monies?
It happens that the student is a very talented
athlete . Why then shouldn't a scholarship be
made available for that student/athlete to
pursue their interest in sport?
A concert pianist is no more nor less
talented or gifted that a national (or international) caliber swimmer. The time used to
obtain that level of expertise is as valuable
and practice sessions as rigorous for both individuals. Which among you is qualified to
decide whether a performing artist, either
swimmer or pianist, has the most worth as
a human being? Won't the development of
the whole of either person ultimately be a

We blew it! Believe it or not, we put out
a publication that contains an inaccuracy. By
now you've picked up a copy of the 1983-84
Library Annuary from the entry way of the
Library. It's our annual calendar which was
supposed to give you correct information
about the days of the month, and to put contemporary "Calendar Art" in proper
perspective. We have succeeded in the latter
and most of the former.
But in November, we blew it! From
November 17th on, the days and dates are
inaccurate. It's a simple (though profound)
mistake, easily remedied by moving the bottom calendar line as far to the right as possible. Believe us, the effort's worth it and will
take you into a goodly December!

The 'pentagon has controlled from the

beginning the management and dissemination of news concerning the invasion of
Grenada. As a result, the invasion has been
presented as an event out-of-context; most
Americans don't know enough about
Grenada to understand the factors which led
to Grenada's coup two weeks ago, and which
precipitated American involvement. All
we've had to go by has been the Administration's word.
An understanding of Grenada's recent
history may help place the U.S. 's actions in
perspective. The U.S. has shown hostility to
the government of Grenada since 1979, when
Grenada's New Jewel Movement overthrew
the dictatorial _Eric Gairy in a popularlysupported, bloodless coup. Three weeks after
the coup, the U.S. Ambassador to the
eastern Caribbean warned Grenada not to
establish ties with Cuba, if it hoped to have
any relations with the U.S. Grenadan Prime
Minister Maurice Bishop responded by affirming Grenada's right to diversify its
diplomatic relations, saying "We
[Grenadans) are not in anybody's back
yard." From that point on, rationalized in
terms of Grenada's links to Cuba, Grenada
was defined by the U.S. as a threat to
American interests.

diplomatic and economic pressure against the

Some of you may have noticed that the
Veteran's column was missing last week. I
was experiencing some technical difficulty;
thanks for standing by. The problem is not
yet resolved, but one's life must go on.
I believe this would be a good time to talk
about educational benefits. When I first applied for benefits two years ago at Centralia
College, [ was amazed at the amount of time
involved in receiving these benefits. It took
eight weeks for the money to arrive.
Why we should be subjected to such
bureaucracy is beyond me. The government
works in mysterious ways. There is a cut off
date when applying for advanced payment.
It is usually 30 days before the next quarter
starts. If we all remember these few important details, it could save us problems later
during our education.
The second issue I would like to discuss
is our military forces intervening in Lebanon
and Grenada. Because we are veterans of
military service, I believe that we should be
supportive of these servicemen's feelings.
After all this same situation could have happened to anyone of us.
I also believe that these men were sent to
these countries hastily, and should be allowed to return home immediately. I am sure
that [ can speak for fellow vets when I say
that the wasting of human life is unnecessary.
We will all mourn the loss of life in those
two countries.
This Friday is Veteran's Day. It is a time
for remembering both good times and bad.
A lot of us have friends who will not be here
to enjoy this day of remembrance. This
would be a good opportunity to visit a fellow
vet who is not able to get out of his hospital
bed. American Lake Veteran's Hospital is
only a half hour's drive north. We should
all try to make someone's day a little
brighter. Enjoy your day of remembrance.

and export Grenadan produce. Feasibility
studies conducted by the World Bank in 1976
and 1977 confirmed the need for the airport.
The actual funding came from diverse
sources: Nigeria, Cuba, and the European
Economic Community. The excavation work
was done by a Florida company. The airport's communication system was installed
by a British company. The size of the airport was comparable to those of nearby
islands, smaller than those of Curacao and
Antigua. The U.S. had opportunities to help
fund the airport, and chose instead to try to
block its construction. Such actions only intensified the need for Grenada to seek funds
from alternate sources. Second, the U.S. exaggerated the number of Soviet weapons
found in Grenada. While Reagan announced the discovery of 3 warehouses full of

"weapons and ammunition stacked almost
to the ceiling," inspection by independent
reporters days later disclosed that the
warehouses were half-full, and many of the
weapons were historical artifacts from the
19th century. Documents released Friday
disclosed that the USSR and North Korea intended to send $38 million in military aid
over the next five years. According to the
ideological spectacles o~e weirs, this either
signalled Grenada's transition to a SovietCuban colony, or it was the action of a
paranoid government rushing to improve its
armed forces for fear it might someday be
invaded. The U.S.'s hostility toward the
Bishop government, if anything, intensified
the need for Grenada to defend itself. Had
the U.S. supported the popular government
of Grenada, Grenada's arms might have
come from a diversity of sources. Every nation has the right to defend itself.
The Pentagon has from the start controlled the dissemination of news concerning the
invasion . Independent report6rs were kept
from covering the invasion in order to
preserve the secrecy of the invasion, and for
the sake of the reporters' safety. The secrecy
of the invasion was compromised by reports
in the Caribbean press and on Grenadan
radio more than two days before the invasion that such an action was being planned.
As for the reporters' safety, ask reporters in
Lebanon whether or not they feel safe. It is
common policy to include the press on
American
military
operations .
The fact that all the news concerning the
invasion was filtered through the Pentagon's
eyes means that the news we've received has
been ideologically biased. As Speakes explained, the White House allowed "all the
reporting to come out of the Defense Department" because Pentagon officials "had
strong views" on what was to be released and
"wanted to do it their way." A close check
of alternate sources brings to light many inconsistencies in the Pentagon's story. It also
highlights the danger in receiving information from one solitary source. Access to a
diversity of news sources allows us to crossreference viewpoints, pick out inconsistencies, and form a coherent overview, which
acts as a guarantee of the public's "right to
know." This is a right which was denied the
American people in the first days of the
Grenada invasion.

All students interested in designing the
commencement ceremony can attend the
next meeting on Wednesday. November 16
at I p.m . in the Board Room . A core committee of three undergraduate students (and
three alternates) and one MPA student (and
one alternate) will be selected at this meeting.
Every potential graduate has a say in the
planning process. but the committee will
make final decisions and selections based on
student input. All committee meetings will
be open to those interested .
The date for graduation has been tentatively scheduled for Friday June 8 on Red
Square for the following reasons, In previous
years it has been too difficult for the staff
to clean up the campus after Super Saturday
festivities in time for Graduation Sunday. To
alleviate this problem and better facilitate
celebration after the big moment. Friday has
been selected. Imagine graduating as the sun

ALL WAYB TRAV£L S£RVIC£,
Come back in time wi'th me. It's Wednes·
day, the second of November and reluctantly
I'm heading toward school. We're more than
half way through the quarter. With
assignments already in arrears. I'm attending
the special 'We Day' in a manner I can only
describe as obligatory.
Go to it. Get it done . Get it over with . 1
pre-conceived it as being irrelevant and
equally uninteresting.
Sure - I was reading the book. finding
it enjoyable and very interesting. It t ied in
so well with our program's examination of
Plato's Republic. Still. I didn't see the need
to devote an entire day to seminars and lectures examining it.
My instructors did. "This is a campuswide day. Part of our participation in the
1984 program . Attendance is compulsory."
Oh well - I'll go along with it.
Now that I'm on campus. I'm still thinking about all the work waiting for me on my
desk at home. Wow! Look at all these people in red T-shirts. And disposable shower
caps and toy machine guns?! Gimme a
break! These people are really playing up this
WE Day.
I'll hurry to the library and get signed up .
Maybe there's still time for a cup of coffee.
I enter and stand far enough from the tables
to delay talking to any of the fanatics sitting
there. Not so - seems I'm close enough to
be yelled at. "Hey you - where's your
number?" All eyes turn my way. "You are
in violation ... required to have this
number ... will be arrested."
Nothing like having the star performer
drag you out of your seat in the audience,
onto the stage and proceed to use you as a
prop! What do I say? Real nice, people great performance - good show - really
getting the point across ...
Humor them, smile obligingly and get
away? Say nothing - punch them in the
mouth and go home, no longer tolerant of
this abuse?
