Affirmative Action has stepped into the
Evergreen spqtlight. The Affirmative Action
policy was a major topic of discussion at the
Board of Trustees meeting, November 10th.
Members of the Evergreen community
presented, to the Board, ideas for an improved Affirmative Action policy. The policy is
being revised for the first time since 1977.
Since last spring. Affirmative Action officer Rebecca Wright has been working to
improve upon the old policy. Because the Affirmative Action policy affects so many peopie. revising it has become a long and involved process.
After campus community members
discussed the third draft of the policy revision. the Board decided that a fourth draft
is necessary. Acting President Richard
Schwartz was placed in charge of deciding
how this fourth draft will come about.
There are three major areas of concern
with the current draft of the Affirmative Action plan at Evergreen.
One is cultural literacy . Some feel there is
not enough integration of different cultural
perspectives within the Evergreen
curriculum.
A second area of concern is cross-cultural
training. Holding yearly training events is a
proposed method of training faculty
members about various cultures. so they can
address these issues effectively in their programs. This proposal has been met with some
criticism however.
Affirmative Action officer Rebecca
Wright. who was previously in charge of formulating the policy. has been unsure as to
whether or not she will have a part in 'drawing up the fourth draft. Schwartz claims she .
will be involved.

will be doing all of it or part of it. I'm sure
she's going to be involved. I'm going to in-

Several of the students and staff members
have already spoken to the Board about their
priorities for Affirmative Action at
Evergreen. Student Darlene Williams. who
attended the last board meeting, spoke about
her concern over the lack of varied cultural
perspective in certain programs. Williams is
frustrated over the fact that Evergreen is still
having to struggle with racial issues in education at this late date.
..... This is 1984 almost, and it seems like
we're always talking about what we're going to do .... We shouldn't even be discussing this type of thing," says Williams. "This
shouldn't even be a worry_ My only problem
here at school should be my academic work.
I should not have to be worried or frustrated
about racism. or lack of cross cultural
perspective in my programs. I should not
have to go to the Board of Trustees. to the
President's office, to my faculty asking for
books, or to the library to research information about these different cultures. All

The Evergreen State College has been
selected as the top regional arts college in the
west and midwest according to a survey of
more than 1300 college and university
presidents in the November 28 issue of U.S.
News and World Report. .
The national magazine, which asked fouryear college presidents to name the country's
highest quality undergraduate schools, also
listed Evergreen as one of the top three
regional liberal arts colleges in the nation.
In reporting its findings, the magazine
quoted Mildred Henry, president of New
College of California in San Fracisco. who
cited Evergreen as a college that had "turned away from stuffing its students with
knowledge and from shaping their memories
in order to move toward facilitating the
growth and power of their minds ."
Evergreen was by far the youngest institution cited in the national survey and one of
only seven colleges and universities mentioned from the Pacific Northwest. Founded in
1967 and opened four years later. TESC was
ranked with institutions which were, on the
average. over 100 years old.
Evergreen was also the only public college
to head one of the nine categories determined by U .S . News and World Report.
Relatively few public institutions were
named in the top ratings because, the report
said: "Educators point to conditions found
at many taxpayer-supported institutions among them larger class sizes, more graduate
students serving as instructors for
undergraduates. and less selective admissions
standards based more on serving state
residents than on attracting the nation's top
students as reasons for the predominance of
private schools on the lists. "

quality of academic cources. professors, student bodies and general atmosphere of learning provided in undergraduate schools.
As leader of the west and midwest
category, Evergreen qualified as one of the
top three regional liberal arts colleges in the
nation. These schools, the report noted,
"have sometimes been known as the 'invisible colleges' ... " because they "generally have
smaller enrolments - and smaller endowments - than the national liberal arts
schools. "
But, as Arthur Levin, president of Bradford College in Massachusetts, noted, "In
order to survive. these institutions were forced to develop fresh approaches long before
it became 'fashionable to speak of 'managing in an age of decline.' As a result, several
sions have the potential to become national
flagships. "
In a separate portion of the survey,
Evergreen was cited for its innovative and
noteworthy undergraduate programs along
with only seven other schools from
throughout the country.
This latest national study citing
Evergreen's innovations and recognizing its
academic excellence follows a September.
1982 study that listed the Olympia college as
one of the country's 16 "best-kept secrets"
in higher education . Written by New York
Times higher education editor Edward Fiske,
that story published in Seventeen Magazine
called Evergreen "a hidden gem ."
The college was also cited by Time
Magazine last year for its efforts to " keep
the faith" in liberal arts education.
U.S./Soviet relations is focus of
talk at Evergreen Dec 7th
Soviet impressions of the United States
and an examination of the foreign policies
of the two super powers will be the focus of
a multi-media presentation and panel discussion December 7 by two members of the
Seattle delegation who visited Tashkent in
the U.S.S.R. last spring.
Dr. Aldon Bell, an associate professor of
history at the University of Washington, and
Katherine Bullitt, a 1983 Jefferson Award
winner for Community Service. will discuss
the experiences of their delegation's threeweek visit to Seattle's sister city in a program
to begin at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Lecture
Hall 31.

mittee. will also discuss their impressions of
views of America held by Soviet citizens and
the implications these impressions may have
on Soviet foreign policy.
Their talk will be complimented by a
30-minute multi-media show developed for
the recent series of presentations that comprised the 1984 Target Seattle, staged to increase awareness among Northwest residents
about the Soviet Union. nuclear war and
global issues.
The Wednesday evening presentation carries an admISsion price of $2 for students and
senior citizens and $3 for others. Proceeds

good academic work. I 'have tried to ignore
some of tlie conflicts and become insensitive
to it. That doesn't work, so I get involved."
she concluded.
Williams angrily explained that she has
been asked to go and research her own
cultural background then bring the informa tion back to educate a professor as well as
other students in a program. She does not
feel this is appropriate and would like to have
faculty available who are able to teach her
about the history or literature of other
cultures.
Says Williams:
"If my work study paid for me to educate
the faculty about Black people. then I would
be glad to do it • but it doesn·t. I pay to go
to school here and I should have faculty who
can teach me what I want to know. I want
to see some real commitment by this inst itu·
tion , and the people who run it, to Affirmative Action and to all of its students."
Board of Trustees Chairperson Thelma
Jackson also feels that integrating the
perspective from other cultures is a n impo rtant part of the Evergreen exper ience.
Jackson says cultural literacy is included in
the idea of interdisciplinary studies. which
is why Evergreen claims to offer programs
with cross-cultural perspectives. She says
there are two factors invol ved with cu ltural
literacy.
"There are two things that play here: one
is the involvement of additional Third World
faculty in the curriculum offerings .... The
other point is the fact that all faculty.
whether Third world or not, should be showing the different cultural perspectives .... "
Jackson, has been a firm supporter of Affimative Action from the beginning . Being
Board chairperson, Jackson has a good
understanding of Evergreen policy. She explains that Evergreen already makes a claim
of having the cross-cultural perspective in its
programs .
"This is our philosophy .... This is what we
say we do .... So. if in fact it's the case that
presently existent faculty don't have the
background ... for cultural literacy to be a
natural part of their course offerings. then
the
need
for
additional
Third
World faculty is made everstrong."
Attempts to contact other Board members
on this issue were unsuccessful.
Cross-cultural training is a proposed
method of educating faculty so that cultural
literacy can become a part of their program
offerings more readily.
The third draft of the Affirmative Action
policy proposed an annual cross-cultural
training event to help meet that need. Some
feel that one training session a year is not
enough. Acting President Richard Schwartz
sees a need for a series of training events
throughout the year: "It doesn't seem to me
that one day a year is the most logical approach to cross-cultural training .
"It seems to me we ought to be doing a
series of things during the year so people
don't just think about it once, and then a
year later think about it again."
He went on to explain the need to keep
reminding people that Affirmative Action
does exist, and there is a need for the campus community to address this issue .
"They need to be constantly reminded that
we have Affirmative Action problems on this
campus and we need to find ways to resolve
these problems . "
Student Jay Saucier feels that a crosscultural training event should be held every
quarter so that programs will be more likely
to include cross-cultural perspective
throughout the year.
"The training should be three times a year,
once every quarter." Saucier says, "because
if a student is dissatisfied with a program
lacking Third World perspeclive, in the fall .

81 yr. old Socialist looks to youth
By Ron Harrower
Social justice, humane working conditions, an end to exorbitant military budgets,
vegetarian diets. This sounds like a list of
contemporary 'Greener' concerns, ones we
see posters for all over campus. Well, Henry
Stanley of Enumclaw has been working on
these causes for 60 years ' Ionger than
Evergreen has existed. Following his 81st birthday last week, he is still outspoken on the
issues of the day. "I'd like to see an end to
this bellacose attitude of our administration
that'is endangering the whole of mankind".
"My roots are in the working class, that
is why J've favored the working class all my

life." Stanley's concern for workers' rights
began with his mother who was a suffragette
in Lead, South Dakota in 1908-9. When she
started a strike for changing the ten hour day
in the laundry to eight, six year old Henry
wore a button saying '8 hours or bust.' His
family moved to Butte, Montana, where he
helped his stepfather deliver the Socialist
weekly newspaper, Appeal to Reason. He
even brought his ideas to school, "whether
it was an assignment to write an essay or to
write a number of sentences representing
parts of speech, I always put it in terms of
socialist propaganda, showing that the
teacher should study socialism as a better
society for human kind." He was sent to the
principal's office more than once, and was
even tried for treason by fellow members of
the debating club. This resistance did not
deter him though. As a senior he organized
a strike of newspaper carriers to get comparable wages at the competing newspaper.
After threats were made against him and
soldiers were brought in, Stanley eventually
won his cause "The manager saw he was
gaining nothing and was destroying his cause
by such violent actions."
He traveled extensively in the 1920's,
working as a carpenter and supporting the
struggle of labor to gain humane working
conditions. He eventually settled down in
Butte again after getting married to his wife,
Alice, During the Depression, he started the
Unemployed Council in Butte as a forum for
miners to discuss the issues of the day, the
need for relief being the most pressing. A
parade was organized, and though the mayor
refused to grant a permit, the miners marched anyway. Theywere thrown in jail, and
upon release , marched again. The Chamber
of Commerce in Butte eventually set up relief
for the unemployed . The president of the
Chamber offered Stanley all the food,
clothing and medical care his family needed
if he would stop his radical activities. Stanley
refused. "I told him I didn't care to accept
OM
any bribes of that kind, having done so, I
knew the next step was violence against my
person." Stanley had heard of many people
beaten and murdered for organizing
workers. Fearing harm for his young family, he moved to Dillon, Montana and got his
teaching certificate.
The family moved to Washington in 1942
when timber became scarce for carpenters in
Montana due to the war needs. Stanley
worked on government housing and became
a tooling engineer for Boeing. After the war
he returned to carpentry, and remained with
it until he retired 25 ye,l.rs later. As an
employer, he required his workers to join the
carpenters union, and if the new workers
needed training, he provided it and then paid
them full union wages.
Stanley currently lives in Enumclaw with
Alice and is near most of his family. He has
been working on a book for the pasf two
years, completing it this fall . There are 53
handmade copies of it, called EI Cougar the
Tramp. It contains his history, poems and
his religious, political and cosmic
philosophies. In the history section he tells
about how he became a vegetarian at age 15,
"Emil and I went through the Hansen meat
packing company and sawall its killing
operations. The next day I was a
vegetarian." His views on all subjects are as
controversial as his actions as a young man.
In the preface of the book, he says, "It's pure
egotism on the author's part in assuming that
his thinking has value. But may it be
stimulating at least !"
Stanley has hope for the young of today.
He loves the American people, but expresses
doubts about their leaders. "We have come
now to a leadership that is doubtful in its
morality, and they [the youth of America]
must challenge it. They must not say 'my
country, right or wrong,' they must say 'my
country may she always be right, but if she's
wrong, I'm against her!"
Can two losers in the game of life ever
become two winners? They can when they
are Mitch and Elaine. Together they are the
gutsiest pair of Graying Geoducks I've had
the pleasure of meeting.
The first staff meeting of the Cooper Point
J ourna! for 'Fall Quarter had just ended. I
was excited about my proposed column on
Graying Geoducks and eager to find one to
interview . While seated outside the CPJ office I spotted a possible Geoduck on a nearby lounge.
A middle-aged man and woman were
resting and talking quietly. Overhearing the
woman comment on their need to locate a
place to eat, I offered my assistance. While
exchanging pleasantries the man said that he
was a student but not at Evergreen, He and
his wife were visiting Evergreen in the hope
that he might be hired as part of Evergreen's
faculty.
Mitch also said he is going for his doctorate in the field of law and justice at the
same time at another college. Not too
unusual? It is when Mitch explained he was
once a convicted felon many times over.
Mitch said he had been one of the most
elus ive cat burglars and had been given the
nickname of 'The Polite Bandit.' Courtesy
toward his victims was his hallmark.
Mitch's wife, Elaine, said she had been a
battered wife and mother of battered
children from a previous marriage. Elaine
said it had taken her years to recover emotionally and physically from the effects of
the beatings.
With complete candor Mitch told of how
he. had been in and out of numerous penal
institutions. He said he felt his life was a
vicious circle from which he could not
escape. Each time he was released from
prison Mitch found himself drawn back into a life of crime. A lack of an adequate
education to earn a living in an honest way
was holding him prisoner .
Determined to exchange his life of imprisonment for a life of freedom, Mitch set
about to get the education he needed. He
earned his G.E.D. while in prison and helped
other inmates to earn their G .E. D.'s.
Christmas Catalogs
& Books
Not content to stop there, Mitch instituted
training sessions for inmates who were due
for release. Mitch taught them how to face
their own failures and how to avoid repeating
them. He drilled into them the hard facts of
what life would be like for them after they
were released. And mosi important of all,
Mitch gave them hope for a better life than .
what they had known.
Positive reinforcement and support was
given each inmate by offering them a lternatives to their former lives. They were shown
how and where to locat e lodging with everyday law abiding citizens. Boarding houses
and other types of communal lodging places
were suggested . In such normal surroundings
former prisoners would be less likely to turn
to old friends among the criminal element
for support and shelter.
. Each person was given lists of organiza'tions, groups and individuals who could offer help if necessary and positive support.
They were given advise of who to turn to
when ' they found themselves tempted to
return to a life of crime,
Equipped with a better knowledge of
th emselves, more education and practical
skills for earn ing an honest living, former
prisoners had a fighting chance to live normal lives because of Mitch's efforts,
Mitch won freedom for himself from a life
behind bars and is co ntinuing his efforts to
help others do the same. But Mitch and
Elaine's problems are not over. Mitch's
healt h is not good after having had and sur vived several heart attacks.
But Mitch is now a free man after having
been sentenced to life imprisonment without
hope of parole as a habitual criminal. E laine
is now a happily married woman, What had
happened to change the course of their lives?
Mitch explained that his formal education
had ended with the ninth grade. Without sufficient education to find honest employment,
he had turned to a life of cr ime while still
young,
Elaine supports Mitch in his effo rt s and
worries about both hi s health and total candor about his past life, She sa id she knows
their lives will never be easy, comfortable a nd
totall y sa fe but they are both working hard
to make life better. Mitch and Elaine feel that
in the end all anyone can do in li fe is try. I
wi ll have to agree with them and wish them
success.
Smoker sent to enemy camp
By June Finley Maguire
An enemy (smoker) was sent to infiltrate
the recent "Great American Smokeout" me. Over protests of "I'd rather cover the
wine tasting festival," I went as assigned to
see what would happen. Would I repent of
my evil ways and be a conformist?
The media was invited to the kickoff
breakfast on November 17 at St. Peter
Hospital. I seemed to be 'the media' that
showed up and was welcomed by being singled out. In front of city officials from Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater and Tenino, representatives of the American Cancer Society and
St. Peter Hospital Community Board I boldly introduced myself.
"I'm June Maguire of the Cooper Point
Journal and I was sent to cover the Greal
American Smokeout by my editor because
I'm a smoker."
There was no gasp of indignation, rese ntment or ridicule - only friendly laughter with me, not at me. One noted city official
(who shall be nameless) confessed that he
had "quit smoking 14 times before I quit
smoking for good."
To my relief, the event was just what the
notice professed it to be - a light-hearted
event designed to draw attention to the health
hazards of smoking. The hospital had set up
a "quilter's aid station" in the cafeteria. Carrot sticks, peanuts and popcorn were offered
as alternatives to cigarettes. Tables groaned
with piles of free lit erature on smoking and
how to quit. Buttons declaring "Kiss me, I
don't smoke" and stickers saying "It ain't
easy, but I'm trying" were given out to
smokers and non-smokers alike.
Wrist snapping rubber bands were hung
on each person present as aversion tactics
should we decide to li ght up .
A few hungry sou ls munched the carrot
sticks, peanuts and popcorn simply because
they needed a munchie even though they had
no intentions of smok in g. It was all handled in a non-deprecatory fashion.
The hospital's new Medgraphic unit which
measures work units, oxygen consumption,
metabolic rates, heart rhythm, blood
pressure and other physical factor s was
demon strated . This computeri zed machine
will be a use ful tool in determining
disabilities in the cardio-vascular system as
well as pulmonary function for health y and
unhealthy individuals alike. As the individual
being tested pedals a stationary bicycle , components of the Medgraphic unit display on
a cathode ray tube and on heart rhythm
strips the patients bodily functions. Although
expensive, approximately $60,000, it may
help save many li ves. It will also be useful
in proving working ability or disability for
Social Security claims without prejudicia l
judgment by either claimant or physician .
Covering the Great American Smokeout
was highly imformative and positivel y
painless to me as a smoker, The humorous
remarks made during the Proclamation signing ceremon ies and general positive attitudes
expressed by the participants was refreshing.
The problem of air pollution is a difficult
one to solve. Thirty years of intensive
research and masses of publications warn ing of the harmful effects of smoke have
made t hat point quite clear. Whether or not
to smoke is a serious personal decision for
every person in the light of such overwhelming evidence. Knowing that it can be handl ed in anon-deprecatory, humorous way
helped me a lot.

Evergreen State College is unique in the
nation through its opportunity for students
to "officially" assess their own learning experiences. Self-evaluations are· required of
each student at the end of each quarter of
his or her educational progress at Evergreen.
Self-evaluations are expected to be rather
extensive and/or comprehensive. They are an
official part of each student's academic
transcript .
Along with Faculty Evaluations of each
student's learning progress, Student SelfEvaluations are used at Evergreen in lieu of
grades. As such, they are of paramount
importance.
Since this is a new experience for most
students, it initially can be confusing and
even frightening. "What is expected of me
- how do I go about this?" are questions
asked by all students.
Many faculty members spend time in class
discussing writing of self-evaluations. The
orientation series incorporates student selfevaluations. A workshop of self-evaluation
writing is usually held once each quarter.
Take advantase of these opportunities to
learn how to get the most from and to make
the most of this unique feature of your
Evergreen education.
Writing a self-evaluation of your own
academic progress for each quarter is in itself
a learning experience. The final product
chronicles your educational experience from
your own point of view. Like most ·students
you will find some of your viewpoints have
changed during each quaiter. This too
becomes an important part of your
chronicles.
Certain rules and regulations govern the
writing of Student ~lf-Evaluations. Current
Registrar's policies state that each selfevaluation must be neatly typed with black
r.ibbon on the official Student SelfEvaluation Form. Complete information
must be typed in - name, student I.D.
number, program title, beginning and ending
dates of the quarter covered. They must also
be dated and signed by both the student and
faculty member(s) for each program
(contract).

This then is one of the most difficult tasks
facing supporters of the Affirmative Action
plan: being sure the new policy will be effectively enforced. The question here is how
to go about making sure the policy is implemented, once it is written and accepted.
Chairperson Thelma Jackson has puzzled
over this question, and feels that the first step
to making this new policy an effective one
is to involve the entire community in formulating the final draft. She claims that people should carefully consider what's going on
with Affirmative Action because some of the
proposed changes in the policy are going to
affect the entire campus.
"The Board is taking a careful look at this
policy this. time around. We aren't in any
rush to adopt a policy that's just rhetoric and
means nothing ....When this policy is adopted
it's going to have a lot of implications ... . So,
people need to follow the process that we're
going through and understand what these implications are ... so these aren't just words on
a piece of paper."
College community members are encouraged to attend the December 19th board
meeting at 10 a.m. and get the details of what
will be happening with this issue in the next
few months. Any views or suggestions for
the new policy are welcome and can be written up and turned in at the President's office or presented at a board meeting.
The Evergreen Council will meet at 1 p.m.
on the first Wednesday of each month in the
Board Room. The Council is required by COG
IV to accomplish and certify certain matters
which affect the Evergreen community. The
campus governance document states (WAC
174-107-280): "The Council has the authority
and responsibility to review and act upon requests for establishment of official consultative
constituency groups. The Council shall
establish or act on a request to establish all
standing committees. All nisling or newly requested standing committees must seek annual
recognition for the Council. The request must
include ihe reason for establishment of the
committee and the role of the committee as an
adjunct to decision making. Each committee
shall have a life of one calendar year. The committee must be reconstituted annually and be
approved by the Evergreen Council. FAILURE
TO SEEK RECONSTITUTION WILL
RESULT IN THE COMMITIEE'S LOSS OF
STANDING ON CAMPUS."
All offices. organizations, and individuals
are urged to request consideration for their
committees by the Council at its meeting on
Wednesday, December 7, 1983. The types of
committees which are included in this requirement include (WAC 174-107·100(147» Faculty Leaves Committee, Staff Professional
Development Committee, S & A Board, Fann
Board, Environmental Advisory Committee,
etc.
The Council Is also prepared to accept other
types of business. WAC 174-107-290
states:"Any member of the Evergreen Community wishing to bring a matter before the
Council shall submitt a written statement of
the question, grievance, problem, or proposal
to the Executive Committee of the Council in
care of the Office of the Pre.ident ..•. "
The Executive Committee of the Council will
meet each Wednesday In Library 3121 at 1 p.m.
Members of the Executive Committee are
Michael Deug, Allen Whitehead, and John
Gallagher. Members of the DTF Implementation and Review Committee I"clude: Lovern
King, John Aiken, and Eleta Tlam. Members I
of the Hearings Board Include: AI Leisenring, .
Cynthia Frost, Alonzo Cordova and Thomas
Ybarra. Members of the Evergreen Community are welcome at any meeting of the Executive
Committee or at any other committee of the ·
Council.

If necessary, student self-evaluations may
be revised. However, revisions will not be accepted after 60 days from filing or if the
original self-evaluation has been sent out as
part of your transcript. Also, a student selfevaluation cannot be deleted or removed
from your academic record for transcript
purposes. Student Self-Evaluations will not
be accepted if the Faculty's evaluation of
your work has already been sent out as part
of your academic transcript.
As frightening as this may sound, help is
available in preparing your self-evaluation.
For more information and/or advice you will
find faculty, program secretaries, Career
Planning and Placement, Academic Advising or the Registrar's Office able and wiiling to help.

Aid and the draft
To the Editor:
I would like to respond to Cliff Missen's
article concerning draft registration and
financial aid.
I am a student who has been working in
the Financial Aid Office part-time since April
1982 (as well as full-time the last two summers) . I'm pretty well known to a lot of the
people who receive aid and, as a consequence, frequently have people I know asking me aid-related questions. During the past
summer', the question of draft registration
came up frequently outside the office as well
as while I was there.
The issue of requiring students to sign a
statement saying they are registered with
Selective Service is not an easy one for me
to deal with . My personal feelings are that
the law is an extremely unfair one and I
disagree with it strongly. Having to "enfor ce" a law I don't agree with caused a lot
o f soul-searching on my part . What I finally had to do was reconcile myself to the fact
that I did have a job to do, even though there
were things about it I didn ' t agree with. As
an employee of the Financial Aid Office, I
could not bring my personal opinions to
work with me. (Some people may call thi s
a cop-out; I don't feel that way, though.
Sometimes you have to do thing s you don ' t
like .)
Cliff makes a reference in his article to the
fact that we " presented no alternative ... exceptto register or lose (the) award ." He also
describes a situation in which Georgette
Chun, the acting Financial Aid director, told
a student he had no choice but to register and
bring the proof to her. She felt she could not
accept a signed form after the student had
told her he was not registered. I found myself
in a simila r position at times - knowing a
student who was not registered who wanted
to know what would happen if he lied.
Again, it came down to leaving my opinions
at home. I feel I did all I could to advise
students of the consequences of their actions,
a; far as the regulations were concerned . I
could not mak e that decision for them,
ho wever .
\( hurt my feeling s somewhat to be labeled, as an employee of the Financial Aid Of. fi ce , as "threatening," " mysteriously
F
o
R
u
unhelpful," and generally unsympathetic to
the situation . Having worked with Georgette
Chun for as !.ong as I have, I feel somewhat
qualified in saying that she is one of the most
non-threatening people I know _ The same
can be said of the rest of the staff - they
are all sympathetic, caring people who just
happen to have been put in the role of the
bad guy.
I guess what I really want to say is Don' t hold the fact that we have rules to
abide by against us. We don't make the rules.
We're all people down here, and we're going to deal with you like a person and do
what we can to help you, not to screw you
up. We don't like the situation either, but
instead of getting mad, let's work together
to change it.
student body on occasion, and about the administration almost alWays.
Differences of opinion should be aired for
they often lead to accomplishment and improvement. But those differences were, until this year, being voiced stridently, impoliteIy, scarcely befitting top-drawer students in
a top-drawer college.
What we're reading in the Journal now
tells us more about what Evergreen has been
and now is than ever before. This is of credit
not only to the Journal editor and staff but
also, I think, to the student body. For the
future, this approach, I think is more likely
to generate the needed legislative support and
community acceptance than anything else
that individual students and organizations
can do.
Sincerely,
Amber Shinn
Yours truly,
Wesley Karney
Aw, Shucks ...
To the Editor:
When one of our sons was young,
whenever we'd compliment him on
something - his performance, appearance,
whatever - he'd grin as if it were Christmas
all over again.
Later, older, when he was working at
establishing his individuality, compliments
from us produced somewhat opposite
results: if his ice-age parents approved, he
must have done something wrong. Such, it
seems, is pretty much the way things arc in
those stages of growing up.
Though knowing the risk, I'm going to
take a chance: I hereby compliment the
editor and staff of the Cooper Point Journal, which we have been reading for about
five years, on the quality of the writing
therein .
If because of this compliment you revert
or change, I'II ... I'II ... well, I'll think of
something even though in the case of that son
I wasn't able to.
There are two.major improvements I see.
One is much more balanced coverage of college news; a much better job is being done
in keeping personal opinion - editorializing-out of reporting.
The other improvement is noticeable by
reading back editions . It seems as if almost
every student group wa s saying something
negative about other groups, about the whole
Union challenged
To the Editor:
I am an employee of The Evergreen State
College and have worked here for over five
years. Much of the last year has been uneasy
since I am subject to being fired for not joining the union.
Last December 6, the staff held an election which resulted in a union shop. The
potential advantages of a union are many,
and I am pleased that a union is now
available. However, the union is now required. Washington State Administrative
Code provides that employees who do not
join the union may be fired. Fortunately, I
have not yet been fired, nor have a few other
employees who also refused to join.
Washington Administrative Code 215-04-054
gives employees a chance to reconsider by
again holding an election to review the issue.
Several people on campus are helping me
pass about a petition requesting a new election to reconsider the question of whether
Evergreen should be union shop. I would appreciate your help in bringing this to people's
attention.
Beginning Thursday, December I , I will
spend most weekdays between 12:30 and 1:30
near the lunchroom area with a petition. The
only signatures which will be of significance
to the Higher Education Personnel Board are
signitures of classified staff. I would like
classified staff on campus to support me in
M
)
my call for a new election.
The result of the election I surely hope will
be a decertification of union shop status, but
the petition does not lead directly to this.
Along with the petition, I will have a copy
of the relevant state administrative code.
Thank you,
Katherine Allen
One way fo Moscow
To the Editor:
I am horrified to find people of a
totalitarian bent in my beloved state of
Washington who do not believe in the Bill
of Rights of the U.S. Constitution.
I refer to those kooks who complain about
Professor Stephanie Coontz of The
Evergreen State College. Coontz, whom I
have never met, opposes u.s. action in
Grenada and Lebanon. These crazies do not
discuss what she said at a public meeting. Instead, they question her right to challenge official government actions .
Methinks these sad, sad people would be
far happier in the USSR where those who
question government decisions are sent to
mental hospitals in the Gulag . I say to these
people : You do not belong in a proud, free
country. Begone to the USSR .
A one-way ticket to Moscow costs less
than $1000. I hereby offer a free one-way
ticket to the USSR to those who do not
believe in our free speech tradition. I can be
reached evenings at 206-754-6631 by any sick
soul who needs details of how to apply.

To the Editor:
After reading WE. 1984.andBrave New
World it seems strange to me that these utopian novels should be chosen as required
reading in any core program at Evergreen.
It appears to me that all three of them have
something greater than Big Brother in common and that is: an EVE figure that ultimately leads to the demise of an Adam figure.
Whether this is intentional or not I think a
school that places as much pr ide as
Evergreen does on the equality of women
should use other examaples such as The
Foundation Trilogy or Ecotopia.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Clark
Single parents face unfair choices
By Jan Teague
Single parent student s will meet at Seattle
Central Community College on December 8
at noon to discuss the mandatory Work Incentive Program (WIN) registration policy
which forces students on the Aid to Families
with Dependent Children (AFDC) program
to either quit school and stay home with the
children or quit school and register for work.
WIN , designed in 1967 to facilitate training
and employment for low income single
parents, offers the same training programs
it offered in 1967 . What was originally a support service has now become a deterrent to
adequate job training .
Why is this student group being told they
must register for WIN? The WIN target
group is 20 percent of the total AFDC recipients, yet students must register. The WIN
fund ed training is offered to those with
limited skills and work history. Students who
regi ster for WIN would not even qualify for
WIN training. Evaluations of WIN to date
show durability of employment thru WIN is
not high a nd cost savings attributable to
WIN are relatively small . If training, employment and savings are not viable features of

"One in every four persons in the work

these people do when they have no income?
Look for some kind of work that hopefully
pays the bills. And if it doesn't quite pay the
groceries? Then the answer is food stamps ,

The Day After:
Let's not blow it
By Allison C. Green
The Day After did its duty. The TV showing of the nuclear devastation of a town
in Kansas brought the threat closer to home than it's ever been. But why was it so distrubing? I'm talking about an America that watched the Vietnam War on the 6 o'clock news,
That watched Jews gassed to death in the TV series "The Holocaust." Why did Americans
get so depressed about a movie with less violence than your average detective show?
The reason is partly because this bomb dropped on the United States, not on Japan,
not on a distant third world country. And partly because a nuclear war gets everybody.
If you have the prestige, like the president, to hide out from the blast, radiation or the
nuclear winter will still freeze or fry you out of existence. Money, affluence or power
won't save you.
But for those Americans who remember Vietnam and have read Hersey's Hiroshima
, it was little consolation that ABC tagged on the epitaph: "The catastrophic events you
have just witnessed are in all likelihood less severe than what would actually occur in
the event of a full nuclear strike against the United States. "
Perhaps ABC softened reality to avoid taking a stand, not to mention to get by the
ABC Standards and Practices Department (which laid down this law: seven objects had
to be destroyed for every three humans, resulting in scenes reminiscient of Earthquake
and Towering Inferno.
Certainly, the makers never.meant to make a political statement. The director, Nicholas
Meyer, said, "We're going after those who haven't formed an opinion ."
My major criticism, then, isn't the hysterical hype (KOMO anchors butting in just
before the blast to warn you) or the whitewash, but what ABC did with that blank slate
of opinion after the show. Here we are, sitting in our living room, staring at the TV
as that depressing epitaph rolls by. All we know is the film depressed us. We don't want
that to happen anywhere, especially here. How can we stop this from happening?
So ABC presents us with a "panel of experts" to discuss what can be done. Who
are the experts? William F . Buckley, J r., arch conservative and editor of the National
Review; Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State; General Brent Scowcroft, former
deputy assistant to the President for national security matters; Robert McNamara, former
Secretary of Defense; theologian and author Elie Wiesel; and popular scientist Carl Sagan.
Secretary of State George Schulz tried to reassure the audience in an interview before
the panel discussion.
Now, conservatives such as Buckley, Rev. Jerry Falwell, leader of the Moral Majority, and Phyliss Schlaffly were incensed by the movie , before it was even shown. They
felt it was blatant propaganda "made by people who want to disarm the country," said
Schlaffly. Buckley claimed it was a tool of the nuclear freeze forces to manipulate public
opinion.
Well, certainly ABC, part of the Communications Establishment, does not want to
appear that radical and does not want to lose any firmly entrenched establishment advertisers. That's why they followed th is nonpolitical, conservative depiction of nuclear war
with a heavily biased panel of "experts" - five conservatives (including Schulz), out
of seven people.
The experts proceeded to say very little. The word stabilization was brought up and
never defined (we all know how important definitions are in seminar .) Everyone agreed,
and who wouldn't, that nuclear war is bad and shouldn't happen.
Buckley confirmed my suspicions that the United States invaded the smallest sovereign
nation in the Western hemisphere (Grenada) to prove something to the Soviet Union.
But he was in hearty agreement, even speCUlating that plans for the invasion had been
in existence under McNamara's Department of Defense. McNamara denied it.
Sagan gave his matches-in-a-room-of-gasoline analogy, in characteristic somber tones.
Kissinger made one good point. We can't take nuclear war out of context of politics
and the international situation in general. Nuclear devastation is not a singular act of
evil isolated from the rest of history, just at Hitler's atrocities are preceded by events
that led up to them and followed by a history that continues to be affected by them.
Nuclear war comes about from a general attitude of totalitarianism backed by the
military. It becomes more and more possible in an atmosphere in which Reagan can
call the MX the' 'peacekeeper, " in which Grenada is attacked and the official description changes from invasion to rescue mission within weeks. In short, the pattern of
totalitarianism leads us straight toward the use of nuclear weapons.
Americans are afraid of nuclear war. We should be . Movies like The Day After and
Testament are only a part of the national conversation we are holding on the subject.
But Americans are going to have to look harder than ever at our leaders, search harder
than ever for answers and look more critically than ever at our policies and traditions
to come up with a solution that will work.
The Day Afteris a good effort if it stimulates us to look at our history and make some
changes in our national goals. There are plenty of lessons to learn from .

Help S&A spend $15,000
The Services and Activities Board is in the unusual position of having unallocated funds.
Requests for the Midyear allocations totaled $39,000. The Board however has $55,000 to
allocate. After allocations have been completed, at the end of Fall quarter, at least $15,000
will remain. Since this money comes from student tuition ($1 89/ fuU time student each year),
the Board wants student input on how to spend this excess revenue .
The following is a list of possibilities on how the money can be used . A pro and con
a bout each suggestion follows. Please read through the list and fill out the attached survey.
Turn your survey in to the Student Activities Office CAB 305 by Friday, December 9th.
Remember the money can be allocated for more than one of these suggestions.
I . Put the money into budget 6000, the general discretionary fund, to be spent in case of
emergencies. If no emergencies arise by the Spring Allocation time, add the money to the
Spring Allocation Budget. The Spring Allocation process allocates monies that will be spent
the following year , June 30, 1984 to June 29, 1985.
PRO: It is important to budget for major
emergencies and there never seems to be
enough money in Spring Allocations to meet
the needs of all who request money for the
following year.
2. Take new requests from student activites
PRO:This is student money and all student
groups have the right to apply for this
money. Many student groups believe they
were under-funded last spring and would be
more effective if they increased their allocation. Also, incoming students could use this
money to initiate new student groups.
CON: There already exists approximately
$7,000 in Budget 6000 to be spent for
emergencies. About $450,000 is the budget
for Spring Allocations. An extra $15,000 will
make a minimal impact.
~nd
service groups.
CON: Student groups alreaay had a chance
to apply for additional funds during the
'Midyear allocation process. It has already
been established that this money is in excess
of the needs of student groups. Also, a new
allocation process would take a long time .
Groups might not receive their monies until
spring quarter .
3. Raise the starting wage of the existing student coordinators funded by S & A from
$3.35 / hr. to $3 .60 or $3.85 .
PRO: Coordinators work more hours than CON : If the wage was increased to $3 .60, the

Shakespeare and
"Othello" premiere here
By Janet O'Leary
Shakespeare's masterpiece of construction
in the realm of tragedy will unfold before audience 's eyes on December 1-4 an<;l 8-11.
Faculty member Ainara Wilder will direct
this moving tragedy, Othello, a story of love
a nd jealousy. in the Experimental Theatre at
8 p.m. Thursdays. Fridays. and SalUrdays
and 2 p .m . on Sundays.
Of a ll Shakespeare 's plays. Othello. is I he
most realistic as it lacks the element of the
superna tural and the mysterious Shakespeare
crea ted in his other tragedies.
The cha ract ers bear this out. Othello
himself is perhaps the most admirable of
Shakespeare's tragic heros. a noble soldier
betrayed by the friend he trusted. who after
his fall regains our sympa thy when he confesses his crime and executes judgment upon
himself.
lago is the incarnation of se lfish and .
cyn ical malignity and Desdomona is the most
wistful and pathetic of Shakespeare's tragic
heroines. and the minor characters all,fall
na turally into their parts in the play .
The lead part is played by Ted Roisum .
As Roisum is a white male and the traditional
Othello. a Moor. is usually a black person.
Ed Trujillo. Production Coordinator. was
asked why a white performer was cast in a
traditionally black role.
"Three or four different black males were
at one time or another cast [as Othello)."
said Trujillo •• 'but they had to leave because
of professional reasons."
Wilder adds : "Even though circumstances
forced us 10 welcome and bid goodby to
these Othello's at the early stages of rehearsal, the 'now' always is more optimistic than
all the ·wases.· ..
Wilder continued that Shakespeare's Moor
could very well be a white person as well as
a black with her brief description of a Moor.
"Moorish origin can be traced to the Berbers
from Northwest Africa and from a Libyan
tribe. suggesting a strong Arabic influence
as
well. ... Ultimately.
however.
Shakespeare's tragic general remains forever
a work of uni versal dramatic imagination."
This production is performed by a
15-member a ll-student cast with a technical
crew of ten. The set is a stylized representation of the period c reated by David Malcolm.
The Comiede Del Arte-style costumes are
produced by Ruth Palmerlee. wstume
designer. The original music score with some
specia l sound effects are composed, performed, and recorded by Terry Setter and his advanced students, informs Trujillo.
When Wilder was asked why she chose
Othello she told me: "The play was written
by one of the greatest dramatists and I
believe our students need the experience with
Shakespeare's language. The play is a
masterpiece and allows the cast and myself
to touch greatness within our capacity and
to test ourselves far beyond the seminar."
Wilder also adds. "We hope that others
who appreciate Shakespeare will come and
honor us with their presence."
Tickets can be purchased for $5 general
and $3.50 students and senior citizens at Yenny's Music. The Bookmark. The Evergreen
Bookstore, and at the door of each
performance.

high sc hool football star Stef (Tom Cruise),
whose only hope of attending engineering
school on a scholarship is thwarted by a
ve ngeful coach. It' s not so much Stef's
outspoken personality. nor his part in flubbing the big game (which gets him kicked off
the team) that incurs the coach' s wrath as
much as his redneck camaraderie afterwards.
The real drama begins after this first half

Stef's girlfriend matures before our eyes
when she points out the hypocrisy of athletic
sc holarships. Her love for Ste!' seems truly
genuine. and although she's respectfully prudent concerning sex. their first time lovemaking maintains an innocent integrity. never
slipping into cutsey or hokey. Stef's best

But the real point of all this high schoolery
is the power play and pressure from teachers'

asks the coach. "You 're only a typing

Ultimate Frisbee seeks funds, fans
and flingers for frequent funfest
Flinging frisbees is no longer just an
agreeable pastime - it's a full-fledged sport.
With the creation of Ultimate Frisbee a few
years ago, the game moved from the beaches
and parks to the playing field. and now
Evergreen is getting into the act.
Andy McMillian is the organizer and
booster of the Ultimate Frisbee team here at
Evergreen. He says the game contains
elements of soccer. basketball and football
hut is vastly different from all three. The
most important difference. says McMillian
is the spirit of sportsmanship that prevails
in the contests.
"The sp irit of the game is quite important
in this sport t'ompared to other sports. Sportsmanship is the foundation and the rules
reflect that. Honesty and good sportsmanship is a main stay."
Ultimate consists of seven players a side
and the game is played on a field 70 yards
long and 40 yards wide. There is an end zone
at either end. each 25 yards long . The object of the game is similar to football; a team
tries to work its way down the field by passing the disc to receivers who in turn become
passers. eventually passing the disc into the
end zone resulting in a goal. worth one point.
It's not as easy as it may sound however.
Neither the passer or receiver can run with
the disc. Once it is caught. the receiver must
stop. establish a pivot foot and look for other
receivers to advance the disc downfield. If
the disc is dropped. batted down or goes out
of bounds, there is an automatic change of
possesion.
Most teams have what they call a handler,
someone who can throw the disc well and
direct the action. much like a point guard in
basketball or a quarterback. Since the disc
can be thrown in any direction. handlers attempt to set up so they can receive the disc
and continue to control the action down/ield.
Ultimate Frisbee is a non-contact spar!,
which isn't really surprising. What is suprising is the lack of referees or umpires. An arbitrator would be at odds with the underlying philosophy of the game. Its essence can
be summe d up in the introductory comment
of Ultimate's rulebook:
Highly competitive play is encouraged. but
