The Evergreen State Col/ege hosted the first Frostbite Open Regatta last weekend.
Fifteen boats representing four different classes braved the windy conditions to compete in what TESC sailing coach Lou Powers hopes will become an annual event.
Powers presented trophies to the winners in each category. Middleton (Olympia)
won the Hobie Cat class, pictured above.
The TESC sailing team will be competing at the University of Victoria this weekend.

The Reverend Jesse Jackson wins,
whether he becomes president or not.
That was the sentiment at the organi zing meeting for the Thurston County
Jackson for President campaign Monday,
February 13 at the First United Methodist
C hurch .
Phillip Miller, organizer of the meeting ,
said that Jackson 's campaign is "building
a force in the political system that' s
positive. The more power the better. Even
if Reagan win s again for four years, still
that force that' s built will need to be
reckoned with . "
John Erickson, a participant. said that
force is made up of people who haven ' t
wanted to participate before because they
didn ' t feel represenled.
He feel s th ese people will . benefit the
Democrat ic cause as they enter the political
sys tem . Said Erickson, "W hether
Democrats or Republicans win is going to
depend on how many new Democrats
participate. "
Miller count s himself as one of those
who has se ldom participated in politi cs
before. Jackson appea ls to him as a progress ive, "ncw age" candidate. "You have
to believe in something to participate," he
says, and cit es Jackson's commitments to
the Third World and to cutbacks in
defense, his e nvi ro n!liel)~ 1 a nd civil rights
co nce rns, and hi s empifuSis on corporate
accou ntability.
And even if Jackson doesn't win the
presidency, supporters are hopeful he can
attain Ih e seco nd place on the licket or a
position in t he winner's adminis tration.
Bob Gillis, a participa nt , sa id , "He wins
if he co mes in second."
"He won a lready by being in the debate
on PBS - just the opportunity to express
hi s views," sa id Miller.
'But Ihey a ren' t giving up the presidency
yet.

"You can't export revolution

whercver it occurs in the world . To gain
Co ngressional approva l and popular support fo r this pol icy , th e American people
we re led to believe such revolutions stem
fr o m Russ ian sub version, even where State
Departm ent o ffi cia ls had knowledge 10 the
co nt rary, Zucker man said.

By Margaret Grihskov
Arguing that th e U.S. co ntinua ll y clashes
wi th Russia in pa rt 'because of American
inability to und erstand th e USSR's need
for geographic and military security, Faculty Member Irwin Z uck erman re viewed recent American foreign policy in hi s second
" Road Away from ~ucl ear Con fronta tion" lec ture on February 8. In a series of
fiv e February lectures open to the public,
Zuckerm an is exa mining th e roots of present U.S. - Russian hostilities and proposing ideas fo r reducing the danger of
nucl ear war.
Although the effort by the lJ .S., Britain,
France and Japan to put down the 1917
Russian revolution failed, Zuckerman contends U.S. policymakers have continued to
try to undo the revolution. He read from
recently declass ified top secret U.S. State
Department documents in which American
officials discussed trying to force the Russians to give up communism in exchange
for atomic energy secrets. Other documents
quoted by Zuckerman suggest the U . S. at
one time planned to threaten the Russians
by encouraging "Titoism" among Sovietbloc counties in order to " hinder military
and economic consolidation of the Soviet
sp here". Under Truman, the U . S
abrogated agreements made by Churchill,

Irwin Zuckerman

The Ru ss ia ns arc not "cxporting revolu ·
ti o n," Z ucke rman asser ted , because "you
can't expor l revolution . You can a rm a
people, but yo u ca n't mak e a revo lulion
from o utside." Repress ive co ndit ions inside a cou ntry, depriving the peop le of
basic huma n needs, are what lead s to
revo lution. But, he contended, a revolution
need not be vio len t if those in power within
the country do not respond violently. "All
over the world," Z ucke rman added,
"masses of people are struggling to assert
their rights tn participate in the benefits of
production.' ,

Rooseve lt and Stalin agreements
acknowledging the respective East-West
spheres of influence and pledging to respect
the separate spheres. Zuckerman said the
result of these and other U .S. actions is to
make the Russians very nervous and
suspicious about U.S intentions .
Meanwhile, since development of the socalled Truman Doctrine, American policy
had been to try to put down revolution

Zuckerman's third lecture, entitled "The
Russian Presence in the cari bbean and
Latin America," was sc heduled for last
night, Februa ry 15 , a nd will be reported
next week. Hi s topic next Wednesday,
Feberuary 22, will be on "The American
Economy and Foreign Policy." All of
Zuckerman's lectures begin at 7:30 p.m. in
room I 10 of the Communications
Building.

Local organizers have Iwo goa ls. They
want to se nd as much mone y as possible
to the national campa ign, which is concentra ting on the South. And th ey want to
make a good showin g in the caucuses
March 13 .
The small attendance - six people and the late date of the meeting - one
month before the ca ucus - indi ca te th a t
Ihe local campa ign is as poorly organi zed
as the nat ional one. But organizers cont end
that' s not indicative of the amount of support Jack son has.
Miller offers an ana logy : "The
Seahawks lost [the bid forI the Superbow l,
but are they losers of the seaso n? "
Jack son supporters say no, and look forward to more wins this presidenti al seaso n .

A champaign brunch to benefit the Re v.
Jesse Jackson presidential campaign will be
held on Sunday, February 19 from 12 - 3
p.m. at La Petite Maison , 2005 Ascension,
Olympia. Fur if~furmatiof/ and reservations
contact Alex Coleman, 459-1458. Cost is
$10 for srudents, $25 for general public.

Jackson's views
DEFENSE : "The Reagan administration
asked for and mos tl y received $1.6 tri lli on
in military expenditures over fiv e yea rs. It
also carried with if a projected $750 billion
in cost over -run s - or a total of $2.2
trillion in military expenditures . For those
looking at where the money is going to
come from for much needed human prog rams , $750 billion is enough money to
provide every state with $15 billion over
fiv e yea rs.

CAMPUS
Fri-Mon 4pm-Closing

I.

By Christopher Malarkey
Allen Ginsberg performed last Saturday night to an excellent turnout of students
faculty, and community members. Accompanied by blues guitarist and Evergree~
stl!dent G~ry Vaug~n, Gmsb.erg/llled two hours with the wonder of words and song.
Gmsberg s poetry IS graphiC, Witty, thoughtful and his voice reflects that strong
yet unpretentious style.
'
Whether he speaks of the birdbrain in all of us that is destroying the world, or
t~e male.body that lays before him young and naked, Ginsberg reaches his audle.nce Wlt~ clartty and honesty. With Ginsberg's powerful, gutsy voice and Vaughn's
skill on gUitar, they cr~ated some bluesy spontaneous pieces that seemed to bring
the words to greater life and make them even more accesible. Ginsberg's message
remams the same: the trme to change is now but why aren't we doing it? I sensed
he was tired of saying and singing it yet another time but he did and he did so
beautifully.

"Much of traditional highe r education
is using ineffect ive methods to prepare
st udnts for a world that no longer exis ts ,"
believes Dr. Patrick Hill, academic vice
president a nd provost at The Evergreen
State Co llege .
Hill will expound on hi s critici sms of
traditional education and propose so lutions
for " b et ter preparing stud en ts for the 21st
ce ntur y" in a talk F rid ay, February 24,
beginning at noon at the Governor Ho use
Hotel in downtown Olympia.
Th e new Evergreen provost ca rn e to
Olympia las t summe r after founding a nd
chairing a new mini co llege of int e rdis ciplinary studies a t th e State University
of New York in Stony Brook, wh ere he
also established a new master of arts a nd
ph ilosophi ca l perspectives that, he says,
"focused on life·long learning so we could
address questions and need s of rea l life
men and women."
His research demonstrates, he says,
"that traditional education has fai led to
recognize the impact of communications
revolution on the world outside academia .
"Education has yet to understand lhat
the year 2000 may be as different from
1950 as 1950 was from the Middle Ages,"
he insists. "Without thai understanding,
we will continue failing to prepare students
for adjusting to the massive changes our
society is undergoing . "
He'll outline his solutions during his Fri day luncheon address sponsored by the
Evergreen College Community Organization. Reservations for that luncheon, which
costs $7 per person, must be made by 4
p.m . February 21 through the Office of
College Relations, 866·6000, ext.6128 .

continued from paR~ 1
FOREIGN POLICY: "We must choose
mutual respect , talking and negotiations
over manifest destiny, military adventurism, gunboat and big stick diplomacy.
We should not support the landed gentry
over the poor people and the church in EI
Salvador. We should not be trying to
covertly overthrow the government in
Nicaragua . It was not right - no matter
how politically popular - to invade and
occupy Grenada . We cannot define
democracy in North America as majorilY
rule and define democracy in South Africa
as minority rule . And in the Middle East,
we should do what the Israelis and the PLO
recently did with regard to prisoners of war
- talk and negotiate a just settlement between Israel and the Pa lestinians, including
the PLO."

EQUAL R[GHTS AMENDMENT: "[
would do everything in my power to pass
the Equal (and Economic) Rights Amendment. It is wrong that over ha lf of our nation be denied equal protection under the
law. [f the Voting Rights Act is enforced,
ERA can pass in the South; if ERA passes
in the South, labor can end right -to-work
laws; and, since 70 percent of all poor
children live in families headed by ~'.
woman, we could protect our children.;'

weaken or reverse the Supreme Court deci sion of Roe v. Wade."
ECONOMY: " Full employment a
socially useful and meaningful job for
everyone willing and able to work - and
functional job training - preparation for
jobs in the real world - is the prerequisite
and foundation for all other progressive,
economic and political change. Rather than
the "supply side" trickle down from the
top economic approach, [ would use a "demand side" bottom up approach."
PEACE AND D[SARMAMENT: "If [
were President one of my first cuncerns
would be to launch an unprecedented aggressive campaign to put a halt to the
nudear arms race and establish a speedy
but rational and orderly process fbr arms
reductions. While [ support mutual and
verifiable arms reductions, and would
never endanger the nation's security, we
must be willing to take some risks for
peace. "

RUM

To The Evergreen Community:
During the Christl11as holiday past there
was a Christmas tree in the lobby of the
Campus Recreation Center complete with
decorations . Now Evergreen is a state
public institution right? In a brief
paraphrase of the first amendment of the
U.S. Constitution there' s supposed to be
a separation of church and state. I feel that
a Christmas tree is a blatantly religious
symbol, specifically Christian. One could
argue that it is a cultural symbol or that
t he majority of the student body is Christian but even so why wasn't there a vote
taken or a poll because I don't think a consensus could be reached on it. I, for one,
don't like the idea, and from talking to
other st udents I know there are more than
a few who disagreed with having a
C hri stmas tree up. Even if publi c monies
were n't used to purchase the tree, the mere
presence of it in a state building lends and

implies state support.
In addition to all these points, could I
put up a 1ewish or an Islamic symbol on
religious holidays of these faiths? Or could
I put up a Buddhist symbol or a picture of
the Bagwan Rajneesh? I don't think I
could.
So, if there are going to be religious symbols there should be other religions
represented since the student body had
representatives from all of these religions
and many .more, plus those who are athiest.
Otherwise, the practice of putting up just
Christmas trees is discriminatory and
highly offensive to me as well as being in
violation of both the U.S. and State Constitutions, in spirit, if not in the letter of
the law . I would appreciate feedback from
th e com munity on this issue.

Institutionalization of
children prepares them
for war
Dear Editor:
I found your editorial about chi ldr en
disrupting sc hool events to be narrow and
rather offensive.
First of a ll, I do want to say that [ also
feel parents need to be sensitive when their
ch ildren are imposing on others. In my perso na l parenting, I call to those who may
ca re to tune in to directing my children in
a manne r that is mutally beneficial when
the situation is appropriate.
My daughter has never been to a day
ca re center because I feel it is the initial step
towards the instituationization of children.
I am hoping to keep her out of institutional
sc hool systems that playa major part in
preparing future participators in war. 1 feel
war energy begin,s in our relationships with
family and emanate outward. In our
culture, the perpetuation of the pecking
order mentality is maintained on a shock ingly wide varie'ty of levels. That so many
primary families break apart indicates to
me a hideou s imbalance that affects us all
directly or indirectly. I feel people are
tribal. Our transient, materialistic society
has been instrumental in th e expans ion of
such institutions as rest homes a nd day ca re
cen ters which not on ly free workers to
make more money with their extra time,
but sever the <.:losenc~ ~ of what family ca n
mean.
1 have heard tha; about 500 Evergreen
studcJlts have children. It is amaz ing to me
how separatist we arc. Rather th a n effectively integrating chi ld ren into the importance of what we do, we are encour aged,
if not ac t ually int imidated, into putting
them in specially designed slots that will accO lllodate the transference of chi ldren from
one in stitution to ano ther while we
G rec ner s a re supposedly working away

from that for a better world. It makes no
sense.
Many parents care for their children
alone . Though [ am a single parent, people I love and trust have helped me tremendously. There is a vital importance in the
expa nsion of parenting to others who have
contributions of offer. Many people arc
sure they would rather not deal with
children at _all. I call to all who care to see
the role each of us, parents or not, has to
play in innuencing a more balaced future.
The casualness I sec so many approach life
with here on campus appalls me at times
as it accelerates into blatant disregard making the interference of young children seem
trivial. Food and garbage was thrown or
dropped inside and out of the A dorm this
past weekend. $500.00 worth of damage
had to be dealt with after the pit dance the
weekend before. [f the cleanup crew didn't
do such a good job, we might have to face
the leve l of disrespect that exists towards
thi s place trying to serve us. Do the
student s (or whoever it is causing such
damage in th e dorms) need more se nsitive
parents? But here we ca n also enter the
realm of alcohol abuse. My point is, do
these so called adults have the right 10 continue causing ruin a nd imposin g on othe rs '
w hil e s mall children a re declared
unwelcome at sc ho ol eve nts 'l
C hildren need guidance, but shou ld be
more of Eve rgreen's way of life. 1 would
like to see them inside the campus rat her
than iso lat ed at Driftwood Day Care. Big
children need guidance as well. More effective ways of dealing with frustration
cou ld be exp lored . Perhaps the big ones
need to play with the little ones.

Dear Editor:
This letter is written partially in response
to Todd Litman's letter which appeared in
the February 2 edition of the CP 1 under
the heading "Vans Failed in Emergency."
Some of the points mentioned by Todd do
deserve to be addressed. I had , however,
intended to write to the CP 1 to express
some of the views and considerations fo the
Evergreen Van system and its coordinator,
myself, concerning the week of 1anuary 23
through the 28.
'
A major question which came to me during that week was this: Who ultimately
holds the responsibility for providing transit service in such emergency circumstances? Certainly the Evergreen Van
service, as any other small scale system, can
be expected to willingly provide such service as is realisticaly possible with its
limited resources. I believe that the bulk
of the responsibility in this case lay with
IT and with the county, which placed the
load limits on the roads to begin with.
Clearly the full scale shutdown cf a city's
entire public transportation system creates
a situation in which there is a definite need
to provide alternate public transit.
I believe that the Evergreen van system
did what it could to relieve the situation
created by the IT shutdown. Here I wish
to respond to some of Todd Litman's comments. First, I cannot let pass Todd's belief
that most of the van drivers own their own
cars and are independent of public transit. I do not know where Todd got that information, but it is absolutely wrong.
Secondly, Todd claims that, as an ex-van
driver he knew that "something more
could have been arranged." Todd seems
to be not looking at the real situation. (Like
the rest of Olympia, we did not know until that Monday morning that no buses
would be running that day . Nor did the van
service know until the evening immediately prior to each successive day of that week
whether or not IT buses would be
operating on that day.) Had we been
notified a few days prior to the shutdown

Dear Mr. Malarky:
The plural of phenomenon is
phenomena. There is no such word as
"phenomenons ." Do you all have a dictionary in the CP J office?
Yours,
Margot Boyar
P .S. I did like your article.

and been informed of its predicted duration, we would have been far more able to
have organized emergency service. Given
the unexpected and unpredictable nature
of this particular situation, it was quite difficult to organize substitute service.
Todd recommends that contingency
plans be made to run the vans in emergen'cies . His point is well taken and Michael
Hall and I are discussing this with IT.
Todd also recommends that "students
(van drivers) should be willing to miss
classes" in such emergency situations. I do
not agree that van drivers, or any other
students, should be pressured to miss
classes. However, this consideration would
be removed if IT shutdowns in the future
are predicted, the van service notified in
advance, and contingency plans are arranged with IT.
To reiterate, I have discussed what I
believe to be some important considerations about the van service and the unpredicted emergency IT shutdown of
January 23 through 28. The Evergreen van
system is a small scale service designed to
operate weeknights and Sundays. Our
limited resources make it extremely difficult for us to provide full daytime service.
I would like to take this opportunity to
publicly thank the van drivers for their time
and energy during the week of the IT shutdown. The van system put in approximately 95 hours of overtime during that week.
Thanks also to 10di Woodall and motorpool for providing us with a van when one
of ours broke down, and to the garage for
working so quickly to get our van back on
the road. I would also like to note that,
although we could not provide full daytime
, service, Evergreen 41 was the only transit
route which had any service during the IT
shutdown.
Sincerely,
Lisa Dean, Evergreen Van System
Coordinator
Michael Hall, Service and Activities
Director

Nlisseo 10
By Cliff Missen

I was much saddened by the events surrounding Yuri Andropov's death last week.
Not that I knew Yuri personally (although
many like Cap'n Reagan assume that those
of my ilk do), nor that I thought him better than any of his predecessors, but only
because he has served - in a left-handed
fashion - to help President Reagan in his
re-election efforts.
This weekend was a study in "how our
system works ." The announcements of
Andropov's death were, of course, accompanied by "analysis" from various State
Department and administration officials.
These official insights were couched in
terms of cynicism thinly veiled as hope:
"While we send our sympathies to the
people of Soviet Union, we also look forward to the opportunity for better arms
negotiations - which have reached an alltime low during Andropov's 15 months in
office," a radio commentator quoted a
State Department spokesman Friday
morning.
Secretary of State, George Schultz said,
there were" 'opportunities at hand' to
make
'the
world
a
safer
place,' .. according to the Associated Press,
adding that, "Since Andropov came to
power, U.S. - Soviet relations have
deteriorated, a fact underscored by the
breakdown in two sets of arms control
talks. "
All of this adds up to the Reagan administration's attempt to create the illusion
that the root cause for the terrifying lack
of international diplomacy and agreement
was the very person of Yuri Andropov.
That perhaps if it were not for Yuri, we
might have ,already implemented a bilateral

freeze, started reducing our weapons
stockpiles, crafted elaborate trade
agreements, and introduced widespread
cultural exchanges. But now we are to
believe that these sorts of things have not
come about because of Yuri Andropov.
Big Bad Yuri.
Historians, I will suggest, might look at
it another way: Yuri Andropov's ver.y short
tenure as Secretary of the Supreme Soviet
was to have the poor fate of occurring during the short administration of American
President Ronald Reagan.
I don't want to give the Soviets too much
credit either, but Reagan's performance as
an international figure has been very, very
poor. To elaborate on this I need not get
into his behavior in Lebanon, nor his war
in Central America, but just to cite a few
examples of his policy towards the Soviets
- especially on arms agreements .
First Reagan sent Mr. Paul Nitze, an
avowed anti -communist and proponent of
the military containment of the "Soviet
threat," to the negotiating table. Then he
instructed Mr. Nitze to pursue, as he has
for these past few years, an American proposal which suggests we cut our land-based
missiles in half. Sounds good at first
glance ... but we've got a mere 21 percent
of our intercontinental nuclear warheads
on land-based systems while the Soviets
have nearly 74 percent of theirs . So we cut
10 percent while they cut 37 percent. The
Soviets at first thought it was a joke,
perhaps a little something to get the talks
going on a lighter note, but they've waited
years for the punchline.
Then Mr. Reagan appeared on television
with his now infamous charts, which were,'
at best, misleading, to scare the hell out of
the American electorate by trying to paint

Greeners Speak Out

Evergreen is going to be part of a nationwide student voter registration campaign.
The drive begins today, February 16th. A
group of concerned students led by Lara
Norkus has gotten together to spearhead
this drive on campus. Norkus began
organizing the effort and has received support from students, and student groups,
WashPIRG and the WSL. This past
weekend, Norkus attended a national conference for students on voter registration .
Last week, eighteen Evergreen students
were trained at the county auditor's office
to become registrars .
Many students are also interested in going out into the community to register people. Students are concerned that with an
important presidential election coming up
in November, 47 percent of those people
eligible to vote aren't even registered.
So if you too have been putting off
registering or if you need to change you
polling place because you've moved, now
is your chance.

Dear Editor:
Not to be swe pt under the rug and left
to be forgotten, we as men of Evergreen
feel, "Spring is upon us, women take
notice." In this time of equal rights we, for
two, think th at it should not necessarily be
the men who are the aggressors. [t seems
that at such a liberal arts college, a more
liberal approach to the interactions between individuals should be present.
This editorial is not intended as a "comeback" to previous letters . We feel that
some flexibility is needed to alleviate the
pressu re on us (males) as aggressors. We
are not advocating that it should become
a free for all on campus, but rather that
both sides take an active part in searching
out new relationships. Adaptability is the
key to a better social life .
It's easy to put up a poster or write a let:

to ask men out? "A question un-asked is

a picture of a Soviet nuclear superiority.
He followed this by going after a mammoth increase in the militarv budget.
All this done in an effort to wage an
economic battle with what he publicly calls,
"the evil empire." Asserting the desire to
bankrupt the Soviet Union by forcing them
to try and keep up with the American
weapons deployments.
I suppose some might al~eady sit back
and scratch their heads and wonder why
the Soviets don't take us up on all our
goodwill, but now the Reagan administration is using the death of the Soviet president to foster this image and encourage this
"right-thinking."
The candidate Reagan is in the opportune position to be able to make a few inconsequential moves towards the new
Soviet leadership during the short time between now and the elections, and convince
the not-too-alert voters that his policies
have not been so bad - it was just that
big, bad Yuri. The rhetoric issuing from
Washington is pursuing thi s course so far,
and I'm sure we'll see more. Witness Mr.
Bush's babbling about "new opportunities" and extolling new arms talks as
he traipses off to Moscow to pay his
respects to the man for whom he cared littie. Unfortunately, this tactic works well
for Mr. Reagan and his Rodeo, and it is
bound to deliver him and his crew just a
few more votes closer to another four years
in office.
So I roll my eyes and pray for a people's
presidential candidate to appear soon . Mr.
Reagan grins, and winking to the cameras,
tucks another feather in hi s cap. And Yuri,
I'm sure, in that old Soviet style, rolls ever
so slowly over in his grave.

There it is in my mailbox. It's postmarked from Moclips, Washington. It reads
(sic):
" .. very many people have made big
$$$'s doing this. There's a lady living in
Seattle who made $21,000 last year alone
with this fast and COMPLETELY
LEGAL promotional letter. Why, after
you try it, you should write to this phoney
corporation in Nashville and tell them how
much you made - they're keeping track
of it.' It's such a grea t scam that you can
even pay t.axes on the money you make. All
you need to do is SEND ONE DOLLAR
to the name on top of the list , scratch that
name off, and put yo ur name on the bottom of the list. Then send the letter to ten
friends that you love and trust. DO TH IS
QUICK and DON'T BREAK THE
ORDER OF THE NAMES LISTED. It's
guaranteed bug bucks if you follow these
directions. Remember to completely cross
the top names off the li st after you send
the dollar. .. "
I scan the names. I figure that the last
name on the list must be the person that
sent the letter to me, but I don't recognize
them. They must know me - I figure -

February 16, 1984

A while back, I got nostalgic. It comes
with age, I guess, but I got to thinking
about the kind of lawn my folks had when
I was a kid. It was lush and green and it
smelled good after a rain . Up where I live
now, it's near to imposs ible to grow a decent lawn. The soil is thin and poor and
the pine trees put a lot of acid into the
ground. As a result, I look out upon a
brown weedy.path of dirt and rock littered
with pine cones and sawd ust, highlighted
by a few . old rusted beer cans.
I got to reminiscing about the past in a
saloon not too long ago. I struck up a conversation with a fellow on the stool next
to me and [ happened to mention that I
llIissed the good grass we had when I was
young. Now I didn't know this fellow at
all, and he wa s someth in g of a st rangelooking duck what with that sing le gold
earring in his left lobe and that tattoo on
his bicep which read: "Born to Boog ie ,"
but I figured, what the hell, the American
Saloon is the la st bastion of democracy and
besides, my parents raised me liberal
(which has been the curse of my life) so
why not talk to the guy, especially since he
seemed willing enough 10 listen.
Anyway, he was a real nice fellow and

and so, with enthusiasm that I usually only fee l for fir st two weeks of fall term after
summer vacation, I start to rewrite the
letter.

It is poorly written. It is faded with
repeated photocopyings. If I'm going to
send this to my friend s, I'm going to have
to jazz it up. I add the capitalized letters.
At the top of the page - sandwiched between stars - I write: YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IS ONLY ONE DOLLAR.
As I type out the names on the list , I feel
embarrassed for the people who wrote
them . Scratched out in ink they look ed a
little more anonymous, but now with the
names in perfectly legible type - it looks
slanderous. I imagine my name on the bottom of the list. It might work better if I
note after my name that I will give half of
my take to the American Cancer Society.
It seems like a nice humanistic touch. Then
I wrestle with the idea of just writing in the
address of the American Cancer Society;
I end up putting an alias, no note, and my
real address. I'll be darned if I'm going to
put my real name on the thing.
Selecting in my mind the ten friends that

['II send cop ies to, I walk to a friend' s
house and show them the letter. They
become enthusiastic. I can see my name
now seco nd to the last - in stead of last
on the list. One step closer to the big
money.
I think to get a post office box, but decid
against it - not wanting to attract the altention of the postal authorities. I conjure
up a picture of my little mail box jammed
full of letters, each containing a single
dollar bill. "Of course it'll work, " I say
to my friend, "it's the greed principle, it
has to work."
But with an annoying tinge of eanscience, I realize that I can't send the letter
to my friends. My friends already think I'm
a jerk because I haven't sent any of them
even normal letters in months. If I send
them all chain letters, I won't have any
friends the next time I go home. Oh no!
I can' t afford to do that.
And as I think about it, I see the reasoning behind the words: "do this quick." So
people won't think about it. That seems
unfair. It makes me realize why the person on th e top of th e list wants their name
crossed off, and I want my name crossed
off too. These darn get rich schemes . I've
thought about it too long.

he took to /TIY conversation like a hog to
slop. Seemed that he was real interested in
lawns and shared my sentimental longing
for good grass.
In fact, I'd say he was downright
obsessive about the subject. You know
how it is with some people; you push the
right button and they'll talk for hours. If
you don't believe me, just try using the
words "dependent" or "benefic iary" in
front of an insurance man. Anyway, th is
guy went on and on about how he was "into" good grass and he used the word
"beautiful" about seventy times as I made
my way through a couple of drinks. It got
boring as all conversations wi t h crazy peop le inevitably do. Finally, he , aid, "Look,
my man, you want good gra ss , I can fix
you up," and he got up and motioned fOI
me to follow him. He proceeded to the
bac k and into the men' s room . Now liberal
or not, I've always made it a p o licy not to
go into men' s rooms with fell(\\\"s who are
wearing earrings, but this g uy stuc k hi s
head back out the door and said "pssst"
and beckoned with hi s arm.
I was real nervous in there with him and,
in an attempt to ge t out, I bought a bag
of seeds which he promised m e would grow
anywhere and would give me t he best gras~
I'd ever seen.
It was the damndesl grass seed you ever
saw. There were only aboul twe nty or thirty seeds in t he bag but the guy assured m e
that it was a new strain of seed and that
the stuff reall y took off.
I got around to planting it a few days
later. I watered it regularly and , in general,
followed the instructions the guy had given
me.
When the lawn came in it was a real
disappointment. It was, in fact, the
weirdest grass I'd ever seen. It looked more
like house plants and the stuff kept growing taller and taller. When I tried mowing
it , it gummed up the lawn mower.
Then, one morning, I was awakened by
the sound of a helicopter hovering over my
house. [ got out of bed to find some men
with dogs and guns running around on my
new lawn. Before I knew what was going
on, I was handcuffed, up in that helicopter
a nd , the next thing I knew, I was in the
lockup in the county seat.
When I asked what it was all about, one
of the deputies gave me a mean look and
when [ asked him again he said, "Come
off if, dummy, it's the grass."
Things have come to a pretty pass in this
country when a man can be rousted and
arrested for having an unsightly lawn.
Anyway, when I got home ninety days
later, the grass was all gone. the same old
dusty, weedy lot awaited me. It was just
as well; I'd forgotten how much trouble a
lawn can be.
