Getting dumped: spot the signals
however, and this is directed principally at
those of you si lly enough to believe love
is eternal, that we a/l can't dump our bedwarmers: Some of us have to get dumped.
It is a prospect which demands preparation, a cool head, and above all, advance
warning . Get ready, get set, then get ·
dumped . .
As for the man or woman who'd rather
switch than fight, (or who'd rather switch
than love, depending on how bad things
have gotte n) , well, you may not think so,
but yo u cou ld probably use a little' 'advance warni ng" too. Conside r it shopping
for your Spring fashions early. First of a ll .
recognize the s igns of a disintegrating relationship before they get out of control. For
example: If you find the need to "be
a lone" exclusively when you are wit h your
love , kiss the.poor fellow goodbye. Quickly. Th is is a particular ly good idea
whenever. in response to your newfound
solitary needs, your lover becomes progress ivly more affectionate. Watch your
conversations beginning and ending with
an obligatory debate on why exactly you
"never" get together anymore . Also look
out for your partner developing a "need"
for sex. It's so boring that way.

By Kenan Kelly
We ll , it's been a co ld, cold winter. Colder, the weathermen say, than it has been
for a long, long time. Certain ly everyone
should know by now what that means :
Nine months from now, or thereabout~,
some of us will be enjoying the glorious
resu lt s of the winter "bab>' boom." You
gotta keep warm somehow, after all. But,
a s we al so all know, or s hould know (coming out or the closet parties not withstanding) . some of us prerer the means without
the cnds, or the boom with out the baby .
And for those fcw of us luck y enough to
find thi s wimer' s c hill dulled by a companion with whom the act of love was just
th a t. an act of love. get rea dy for the incv itable bubble burster or all winter
rom a nces : Sp ring.
Yes. it may come as a shock to you,
e; pec ia lly if you ' re not a native of these
parts. but Spring is coming . Rest assured
that soon the warming of our lakes and
thawing of our streams will pu t many a
happ y relationship on icc. Time to be free
again. Shed those inhibiting wimer clothes!
Time to dump your bedwarmer!
One must remember at thi s

But, for the other person, the dumpee,
one can only offer this tiny tidbit of advice: If you think it can't happen to you,
it's
, probably
. about to. Suffice it to say
. that
nobody IS as perfect as you may thlTlk he
or she is. Here are some sure signs you're
about to get dumped:
Regular Sex: They're just making sure
t hey don't want it anymo re. With you.
Constant Re-Assurance: 1f you have LO
hear them say" I love you," sorry pal, but
you're a lready "just friends."
Appearance: I f you 've ever heard your
love say: "You always wear that," "That
color does not suit you," or "Have you
ever thought about gro wing a beard and
a paper sack?" they're embarrased as hell
LO be seen with you.
Unfortunately for the dumpees,
however, no amount of advance warning
is ever advance enough. Really the only option you have open to you, once you have
indeed recognized that you're about LO be
put on the un-wanted li st, is LO dump your
dumper before they can dump you. I f you
do thai, th en they will be the one spending
their entire spring trying to convince you
that yours was a match made in heaven.
Funny how it works that way. Sometimes.

Financial aid amendment weighs
down tuition freeze bill
The bill th a t would freeze tuition rat es
at current level s received a "do pass"
recommendation from the HOll se Commit tee on Higher Education last Wedllcsday
(Feb. IS). but at the same time, it s chances
for final passage were dealt a severe blow.
The House Higher Ed Committee approved Senate Bill 4339 by a vote of 13-6.
The cat c h, however, is that before 'th e
measure was sent on to House Ways and
Me(lns, a few amendments were tacked on.
Olle in pa rticu lar cou ld make the bill too
expe nsive to attract cnoug h votes for full
ho use approva l.
The amendment, pro pos ed by Rep . .I ay
Vande r Stoep (R- C hchali s ) call s for 13 pcrcent o f tuition receipt s to go to \\'ard finan cial a id Ile.xt yea r (Illd 18 pe rcent in th e
years to fo llow.
Th e o th er change, made would lessen th e
bcncfits of a frce/.e fo r gradual e student s

In the schoo ls of medicine, dentistry,
veterinary medicine, and law.
The bill is not presently ,cheduled for a
hearing in Ways and Means. The committee, chaired by Rep. Dan Grimm, DPuyallup, wi ll not cons ider the legislation
until next Wednesday at the earliest.
Supporters of SB 4339 are staking their
hopes on the possibility that Ways and
Means will str ik e the Vander Stoep amendment from the bill' s wording. Such a move
is not inconceivable, since Chairma'n
Grimm has expressed strong support for
the original legi slat ion in the past.
Th e bill wou ld free ze tuition a t prescnt

America must develop new policies
toward Lat in America, Irwin Zuckerman
told his a udience last Wednesday, February
15, in the third of his Road A way From
Nil clear Confrontation lectures. He
stressed that the Russians are not responsible for revo lution s in these neighboring
countries . "The Russians don't have to do
anything. Our policies guarantee revolution
all over Lat in America," the faculty
member contended.
The Russians , he said, regard most of
Lati n America as the only place where
classical Marxism appl ies today . "There is
a powerful capitalist oli ga rchy running the
country, the masses live in abject poverty,
and there arc no democratic processes in
operation. The worst forms of tyranny, terrorism, murder and torture are found in
Latin American coun tri es. And there is
revolution a lm ost everywhere in Latin
America. "
The U .S. cannot SLOp the rebellions
unless we occupy the entire continent ,
Zu c kerman said, as he contras ted
American at t it udes toward Poland and
La tin Ameri ca. The U.S . State Department
and Reagan administration fret over Lech

Presidential candidate Orin Smith met
with students last Thursday, Feb. 23 to
answer questions and discuss his candidacy. Smith, who· works for the consulting firm of Touche-Ross in Seattle,
says he can bring strong administrative
and financial skills to the job, if chosen.

and the Ca tholi c . C hurch, Zuckerman
noted, have documented the ki llings and
brutal torture s practiced by Latin
American police trained in the U.S.
Unable to obtain assistance from
America, the peasant -backed rebel leaders
have no choice but to t urn to Russia for
aid, Zuckerman arg ued. Russia wo uld
rather not have to help them, he said, since
its resources are desperately needed at
home, but the Kremlin must prov id e at
least token assistance or lose face .
Why does the U.S. cont inue to support
brut a l dictat orsh ips a ll over Lat i n
America? Zuckerman's answer to this
question is th at U.S. corpora te managers
in Latin America, as well as State Department personnel, associat e only with
members of the rulin g oligarchies, not with
peasants. "They play golf together and
lun ch together at expensive clubs. That' s
how po licy gets made," he explained.
If American foreign policy is to change,
Zuckerman believes American ci t izens
must insist, through their Congress ional
representatives, on such a transformation.
"You," he told his audience, "have to lead
th e m . Politi cians don't lead . You lead
th e m. "
In hi s fourth lectur e, scheduled for la st
Wednc sday night, Febru a ry 22, Zu ckerm(ln was to analyze connections between
t hc Ameri can econom y and U.S . forei gn
polic y. That lecture will be reported ne xt
week . Hi s fina l lecture, entitled "The
Politics of Peacefu l Co-exi stence," will
take place Wednesday, February 29 , at

finish 4th
Victoria
Evergreen standout Austin St. John has
qualified for nationals for the third straight
year.
The regional swim meet was comprised
of 9 co ll eges with CWU (Central
Washington University) taking the most
first place finishes with a total of 1,000
po int s . PLU put up a good figh t, but a
10 tal of only 880 points left them in second
place in t he swimming events. Willamelle
University domina ted both the men's and
women's diving events .



The sailors from Evergreen ventured into Victoria waters to compete in Laser
Team Racing hosted by th e University of
Victoria. The greeners finished fourth as
winds of 25 knots and one to three foot
swells made sailing challenging. Mark
Royhans became the first injury of the sailing season, suffering a sl ight concussion,
after being hit in the head by a boom. He
was replaced by alternate Ralph Naess.
The team will have the next weekend off
and resume their competition with a return

Housing was wrong to pull the
plug on loud music
Dear Editor:
011 Monday, February 20, several dozen
music appreciators witnessed the most
s hocking and rude action that has occurred during the school year: a member of
t he housing staff walked on stage while a
band was playing , and without warning,
literally pulled the plug. His reasoning was
that the band was too loud and that two
student s had phoned him and complained.
The show was ended, and many people left
angry.
The popular vote (which supposedly, is
the way things are done at Evergreen) obviou sly was in favor of the band continuing. The popular vo't e also kept the ba nd
from honoring a req uest to t urn their
am plifiers down; however, seve ra l people
standing outside by the Corner' s door sa id
that the music was not disturbing and,
therefore, th e amplifiers did not need to
be turned down. Yet, two com plaints induced housing to end the performance.
Two complain ts should not be reason
enough to rudely ~ancel a performance
wit h 30 plu s people in th e a udi ence. Two
complaints shou ld not have been allowed
to humiliate a band whi ch had been enco uraged to asse rt their right for selfexpress ion.
People had bee n "warned" abo ut th e

performance several days in advance.
Posters had been readily visible throughout
the campus. The dorm residents knew what
was going to occur and should have
prepared as necessary (searched for a different building to study in, for example.)
The performance was definitely not a
s urprise .
The Corner's stage is supposedly an
open forum . Judging from the above incident, this is not true . Pulling the plug was
just another example of the housing staff's
sickening affection for the demonstration
of power. This affection has also been illustrated by the locking of the bathtubs on
each floor in A dorm, keeping speciallybuilt study rooms locked, and raising the
yearly rent without co nvincing proof of
necess ity . The only solution to the probl em
of the power-hungry housing staff currently employed is to get rid of them and
emp loy respectful, adequate (those silly
girl s behind the ho using d esk never know
what they 'r e doing !) , politc, and personalright res pecting people. Unless the ho using staff is replaced, we will see the plugpulling incident happen again and again
a nd see th e hou sin g residents dwindle into
nothing but subm issive puppets.

Wolves endangered;
why don't people care?
Dear Ed it or:
No one in their right mind wo uld
delibera tely e nt er a famou s a rt ga ll ery a nd
uestroy so me great painting the wo rld
loves. Though a few human beings stand
up a nd protest. a great work of a rt is being ripped from Ilature's handiwork : a livin g portrait call ed t he wo lf. Wildlife
belongs to a ll bf us . We a re suppose d to
be the ultimat e mast~rpie(e; th e ca retakers
of th i> beautifu l planet. I think we blew it,
I' 1a n.
While we , it in utter comfort before
telev isions , wa iting ncar microwave ovens,
or glanc in g a t soon- to-be stale headlines ,
so meone i.., killi ng hundreds of wo lves for
no reaso n . Well, we arc to ld the needs of
humans l)utweigh those of wo lves; th at
wi ld ga me herds mu st be protected for the
human predator . Weare often accused o f
being emotional if some of us plead against
wholesale slaugh ter of wil d li fe. O nl y a few
make the dec i,ions when a nd where wolves
, hould be destroyed.
Desp ite th e pleading of qualified
biologists who have act ua ll y studied wild
wolf familie s, ask in g th at studi es be cond ucted before decisions are made, the wolf
ki ll s go on. Proof that wolves are not
was teful , vicious killers is published in
numerous scienti fic Ii tera t ure. Wol f

fa mili es keep the wild herd s strong and
hea lth y. Wolves control their ow n popula tion. In the la st few yea rs we have
discovered the importance of th e wo lf
within the eco logy . Visit any librar y and
find o ut.
On ly selfish bi tterness and folklore make
up the ingredi ents that motiv a te a few men
to senseless ly destroy wolves. Where is their
pub lis hed ev idence t hat wo lves are resp0 nsible for wi ld game loss? There is nonc.
Yet, because th e hunters pay th e government to "help conservatio n." they are first
and last to decide. We mu st accept or igno re such decisions , despi te what we read
about.
I f we a, sane indi viduals dOll 't wake up
and discover what is rea ll y happenin g to
th e wo lf in Canada, Ala,ka and a bit of
Minnesota, thell we wi ll soon lose t he wolf
forever. Look for the wolf and it wi ll he
go ne int o ext ilKt ion. Why can' t we lea rn
from our mistakes? Si nce wildlife be lo ngs
10 a ll of us a nd our future genera tio ns, why
don't we a ll get with it a nd participate in
protecting the a nimal s for their own sake?
Wouldn't th e planet look mo re beautiful?

Maybe it's the name
Dear Editor:
The letter from Name Withheld in the
16 February issue concerning the Christmas
tree in the CRC lobby piqued my interest.
A few comments:
Name's thesis is that the Christmas tree
is a Christian symbol and therefore not appropriate for display at a state-supported
college. This, of course, is not quite correct. First, evergreen trees were not
originally Christian symbols, but rather
life-symbols (the green of life in the midst
of winter's white death) for the Wotanreligions of pre-Christian Europe.
The adoption of the evergreen tree as the
"Christmas tree " was a relatively recent
development, and not specifically an initiative of the institutional Christian churches. Rather, it was a popular thing, a symbol adopted by the people themselves. I
don't think popes or bishops or ordained
rr,inisters had much to do with it.
Name is also misinformed if s/he thinks
the Christmas tree functions as a Christian
symbol in contemporary society. Indeed,
the C hri st mas tree is anything but a Christian symbol. It is a symbol of worship, yes,
but the god worshipped, it would appear,

is the god of consumer goods . If name
thinks this god is COIncident with the GDd
of Christianity, I suggest s/he (1) reexamine the teachings of the man whom
Christians are supposed to be imitating,
and (2) compare this path with that of contemporary culture. There is, I assert, a considerable di fference.
Atheist is spelled "-eist", not "-iest"
(But perhaps that was a typesetting problem?) (We writers sometimes get. picky
over spelling. Apologies.) [Editor's Note:

Our mistake. Sorry.}
Finally, I am distressed by Name's lack
of humor and sense of proportion. Surely
there were better things to be concerned
about over Christmas than the presence of
a tree in the CRC lobby. You know, like
many people in Olympia without food or
shelter.
Perhaps the problem is Name's name.
I mean, going through life with the name
Name Withheld is terrible! Maybe s/ he
should change it to something that will give
him /er a more positive self-image .

What looks like an inkblot test, but
raises hackles wherever it's seen? It's the
map of over 2.5 million acres of federal
lands scheduled to be sliced up between environmentalists, loggers, skiers, hikers,
snow-mobilers, and motorboat enthusiasts.
Washington State's delegation of two
senators and eight congressmen are saying
that if they cannot reach an agreement by
March I st, they will scratch proposing any
wilderness legislation in this session.
Two proposals are setting the stage for
the battle. On February 7th , Republican
Senators Slade Gorton and Dan Evans
"floated" a 750,000 acre proposal to
"stimulate discussion," according to an
aide. "No lines are final" says Gorton.
"This is the closest we can come to a consensus." Timber companies and environmentalists alike immediateley expressed di smay at the proposal.
Democratic Congessman Mike Lowry
says the Evens-Gorton proposal is "an adequate first offer." Lowry is a strong supporter of wilderness legislation and will
push for concessions fro the timber industry. Lowry has submitted a 1.5 million
acre proposal that has received mixed
reviews. The two propo sa ls will probably
be blended into a bill that won't satisfy
everyone, but won ' t cause any court
challenges either.
Some of the areas causing the greatest
con troversy are:

I) Cougar Lakes - Representative Sid
Morrison wants to make a trade. He would
take 500 acres of land out in the Goat
Rocks area near White Pass oUl of
wilderness designation. This would allow
commercial development in the area. In
trade, Morrison would allow another
67,000 acres to be added to the Cougar
Lakes area. Enyironmentalists counter that
wilderness trade for commercial interests
has no precedent, and is unacceptable
because of the Cascade trailhead located
there. Cougar Lakes is located East of Mr.
Rainier. The area provieds a watershed for
the Yakima Valley .
2) Walupt Lake is now half wilderness and
half federal property . Boaters have been
using the lake and want to continue to use
it.
Since
the
boaters
used the lake before it became wilderness,
the Secretary of Agriculture can turn it
over to them without federal review.
3) Glacier Peak Additions - Slated for
mining a logging, this area is known for
its spectacular cliffs . The size of this area
makes it a prime contender for
compromise.
4) Lake Chelan-Sawtooth - Also huge .
Timber industries are eyeing these lowlands
while hikers of all types and boaters have
made it a popula r area for recreation.

Pressure for the passage of wilderness
legislation has been coming from small and
medium sized timber companies who depend on federal lands for their logs. These
small comapanies contract for approximately 20 percent of the logs harvestd each
year in Washington State . Gus Kuehne, a
represenatativ e of these compa nies says
" We've just had four bad years in a row,
we've gone from a depress ion to a recession." Adding to their headaches, the
Forest Service had postponed timber contracts on 80 milli on board feet of timber
until environmental studies a re completed.
One solution proposed by this group is

"Bicycles are viable mean s of transportation," says Duane Berentson, Secretary
o f Transporation.
As a result, a statewide Bicycling Advisory Committee has been established
under the auspices of the Washington State
Department of Transportation and the
bicycle Federation of Washington.
Th e com mitt ee , consisting of six
members representing all areas of
Washington State, is to adv ise and assis t
the Department of Transportation in the
design and planning of a statew id e
transportation program as it relates to
bicycles.
What abo ut th e problems fo und by
Olympians a nd greeners? "Once in awhile
local issues will be di scussed," says Don
Lund, the design engineer for the Department of Transportation. "The committee
deals with statewide level instead of local
level to recommend a policy for the
Washington S tate Department of
Transportation and local agencies."
The committee hopes to recognize and
eliminat e some of the problems on state
roads from the bicyclists standpoint - pro-

to allow them to re-bid federal forestlands
that were contracted while the economy
was thriving . Now, with the still depressed timber market, Washington State is being hit with a flood of timber contract
defaults. The companies claim that relief
legislation could open 2 billion board feet
of timber now tied up by high priced
contracts.
If this were done, Kuehne claims there
would be no need for a wilderness bill this
year. So far, the legislators are not biting.
If you would like a copy of the proposal,
or to comment on it, you should get in
touch with your representative as soon as
possible . I f there are any areas that you
have visited and want saved, the time to
write is now. If you are in favor of logging areas of Washington 's forests, you
should write now too.

"The MX should be stopped for three
impo rt ant reasons," Moore contended.
"First, it is destabilizing . Due to an extraord in ary accuracy, the MX is capable
of s t rikin g suc h precise targets as the Sov iet
missil e s il os. This might cause th e Soviets
to adopt, as Sena tor Sam Nunn put it, 'a
use thcm or lose thcm attitude.' "
"Secondl y, the MX has brought us no
closer to arms cont rol agreements with the
Soviets. Last fa ll P reside nt Reagan pursuaded many in Co ngress to vote for MX

agreemen t is no closer toda y than it was

"Final ly, the MX is a huge waste'6ftaxpayer money. With the Federa l deficit topping $ 180 bi lli o n, the $30' billion projected

One of the problem areas, according to
committee member James Dick of Centralia, is the lack of shoulder for bicycli sts
on Cooper Point Road. But, that is on a
local level and the committee can only
point out the problem, not insti tute
changes.
The members of the committee , regarded as bicycle experts in their field a nd appointed by Secretary of Transportation,
Duane Berentson, held their first meeting
in Ellensburg last month. They spent the
day trying to familiarize themselves with
the existing state a nd federa l stat utes, rules
and regulation s, organizational charts and
o perations of the legis lativ e regulations
presented to them by the members of the
Department of Transportation .
The committee will meet again in April
in Spokane to discuss and plan a long range
policy. Some of the topics that could be
discussed are the enforcement of rules a nd
reg ulations, how bicyles relate to ferries
and buses, and suggestive legislation pertaining to bicycling.

Housing was wrong to pull the Maybe it's the· name
plug on loud music
Dear Editor:
0 11 Monday, February 20, several dozen
music appreciators witnessed the most
shock ing and rude action that has occurred during the school year: a member of
the housing starr walked on stage while a
band was playing, and without warning,
literally pulled the plug. His reasoning was
that the band was too loud and that two
students had phoned him and complained.
The show was ended, and many Pi!ople left
angry .
The popular vote (which supposedly, is
the way things are done at Evergreen) obviously was in favor of the band continuing. The popular vote also kept the band
from honoring a request to turn their
amp lifi ers down; however, several people
standi ng outside by the Corner' s door said
that the music was not disturbing and,
therefore, the amplifiers did not need to
be turned down. Yet, two comp laints in·
duced housing to end the performance.
Two complaints should not be reason
ellOugh to rudely cancel a performance
with 30 plus people in the audience. Two
complaint s should not have been allowed
to humiliate a band which had been en·
couraged to assert their right for selfexpression.
Peop le had been "warned" about the

performance several days in advance.
Posters had been readily visible throughout
the campus. The dorm residents knew what
was going to occur and should have
prepared as necessary (searched for a different building to study in, for example.)
The performance was definitely not a
surp rise.
The Corner's stage is supposedly an
open forum. Judging from the above inci dent, this is not true . Pulling the plug was
just another example of the housing starr's
sickening affection for the demonstration
of power. This affection has also been illustrated by the locking of the bathtubs on
each floor in A dorm, keeping speciallybuilt st udy rooms locked, and raising the
yearly rent without convincing proof of
necessity. The only solution to the problem
of the power-hungry housing staff currently employed is to get rid of them and
employ respectful, adequate (those silly
girls behind the housing desk never know
what they're doing!), polite, and personalright respecting people. Unless the hous ing staff is replaced, we will see the plugpulling incident happen again and again
and see t he housing residents dwindle into
nothing but submiss ive puppets.

Wolves endangered;
why don't people care?
Dear Editor :
No one in th eir right mind wou ld
de li bera tely enter a famous art gallery and
destroy some great painting the world
lo ves . Though a few human beings stand
up and protest . a great work of art is be·
ing ripped from nalllre' s handiwork : a livin g portrait called the wo lf. Wildlife
belongs to all of us. We are supposcd to
be t he ultimate ma sterpi ece; the caretakers
of thi s beautiful planet. I think we blew it ,
Man .
Whil e we si t in utt er comfurt before

human s o utweigh those of wolve:,; that
wild game herd s l11u st be proteded for till:
human predator . We alT oft en accused of
being emotional if some of us plead against
wh o lesale slaughter of wildlil'c . Only a few
make the decisions wh en and where wolves
s hould be destroyed.
Des pite the pleading of qualified
biologists who have actually studied wild
wolf families, asking that studies be conducted before decisions are made, the wolf
kills go on. Proof that wolves arc not
wasteful, vicious killers is published in
numerous sc ien tifi c literature. Wolf

fami li es keep the wild herds strong and
healthy. Wolves control their own population. In the last few years we have
discovered the importance of the wolf
within the ecology. Visit any library and
find out.
Only sellish bitterness and folklore make
up t he ingredients that mutivate a few men
to senselessly destroy wolves. Where is their
published evidence that wolves are respon sible for wild game loss? There is none .
Yet, because the hunters pay the govern ment to "help conservation," they are first
and last to decide. We Illu!>t accept or ig nore su ch d~ c isions. despite what we read
abuut.
If we as sa ne individuals don ' t wakc UJl
and discover what is really ha ppenin g to
till: wolf in Canada. Alaska and a bit of
Minnesota, then we will soon lose the wolf
forever. Look for the wolf and it will be
gone into ext inction. Why can't we learn
frol11 our mistakes? Since wildlife belongs
to all of us and our future gcnerat ion s, why
don't we all get with it and participate in
protecting the anima ls for their own sake?
Wouldn't the planet look more beautiful?

WOLF HAVEN

Dear Editor:
. The letter from Name Withheld in the
16 February issue concerning the Christmas
tree in the CRC lobby piqued my interest.
A few comments:
Name's thesis is that the Christmas tree
is a Christian symbol and therefore not appropriate for display at a state-supported
college. This, of course, is not quite correct. First, evergreen trees were not
originally Christian symbols , but rather
life-symbols (the green of life in the midst
of winter's white death) for the Wotanreligions of pre-Christian Europe.
The adoption of the evergreen tree as the
"Christmas tree" was a relatively recent
development, and not specifically an in itiative of the institutional Christian churches. Rather, it was a popular thing, a symbol adopted by the people themselves. I
don't think popes or bishops or ordained
rr,inisters had much to do with it.
Name is also misinformed if s/he thinks
the Chr istmas tree functions as a Christian
symbol in contemporary society. Indeed,
the Christmas tree is anything but a Christian symbol. It is a symbol of worship, yes,
but the god worshipped, it would appear,

is the god of consumer goods. If name
thinks this god is coincident with the God
of Christianity, I suggest slhe (1) reexamine the teachings of the man whom
Christians are supposed to be imitating,
and (2) compare this path with that of contemporary culture. There is, I assert, a considerable difference.
Atheist is spelled "-eist", not "-iest"
(But perhaps that was a typesetting problem?) (We writers sometimes gel picky
over spelling. Apologies.) [Editor's Note:
Our mistake. Sorry.]
Finally, I am distressed by Name's lack
of humor and sense of proportion. Surely
there were better things to be concerned
about over Christmas than the presence of
a tree in the CRC lobby . You know, like
many people in Olympia without food or
shelter.
Perhaps the problem is Name's name.
I mean, going through life with the name
Name Withheld is terrible! Maybe s/he
should change it to something that will give
him/er a more positive self-image.

Peace camp organizer
wants your help
Dear Editor:
Mother Nature has begun to sing the
song of Spring. We will be turning inside
out - out into the streets, meadows,
forests, beaches, mountains. Outdoors.
Outgoing. Outreaching. Outstanding.
Many of us will be going out to more
political actions, reaching out to more of
humanity with the message of peace, standing out expressing our firm beliefs and
commitments to co-create a harmonious
world. One of th e most recent and effective medium s for broadcasting, experiencing, and realizing th is message is the peace
comp.
This Spring heralds the first birthday of
Peace camps. The first camp, at Greenham
Common in Eng land, sprouted in the midst
of intense protest and resistance toward
military activity in general and the Pershing
and Cruise first strike missile deployment
specifically. Soon, thi s contagious concept
spread out into other countries - Holland,
Au stralia, Canada, and the U.S. The Puget
Sound Women's Peace Camp in Kent
Washington wa s the pioneer in this country, and it is alive and well today. Camps
across the country were set up SOOll afterwards. Peace camps were largely responsible for the massive Civil disobedience actions carried out last year, such as the Encirclement of the Royal Air Force Base at
Greenham Common in which thousands of
peop le joined hands in a great human chain

that extended for miles.
Peace Camps represent steadfast,
peaceful oppositions to the military
menace. They are challenging both to the
facilities and system they oppose, and to
their participants. The creative, challenging atmosphere of peace camps fosters the
development of individuals dedicated to
making each thought, word, and act ion as
peaceful as possible. Many of us will be
com templating a change, a move, a new
endeavor this Spring and l or Summer.
Let's come together to organile and institute a peace camp here in our local area .
The current camp in Kent is serving well,
but the Boeing complex is only one of the
many facilities feeding thc military
machinery. Fort Lewis, Indian Island,
Bangor, and many more places are ideal
homes for another camp - a coed camp,
men's camp, women's camp, or special interest group camp. The immediate ta sk at
hand is research and planning, wh ich I am
doing right now. I need help - suggestions, ideas, location possibilities, contacts,
questions, experiences and stories. Any and

would be no need for a wilderness bill this
year. So far, the legislators are not biting.
If you would like a copy of the proposal,
or to comment on it, you should get in
touch with your representative as soon as
possible. If there are any areas that you
have visited and want saved, the time to
write is now. If you are in favor of logging areas of Washington's forests, you
should write now too.

"Now is the time to start encouraging
our friends to ca ll and write their legisla tors
to stop the continued funding of the
dangerous MX mi ssle l " said April Moore,
coordinator of the Nationa l Campaign to
Stop the MX, in an interview from her
Washington, D.C. office earlier thi s week .
"This May the congress wi ll have another
chance to vote again" production I'unds
ror the MX missile. The House narrowly
approved the production of the first 21
missiles last year with a 217 to 208 vote and
the public and congressiollal opposit ion to
the missile remains strong ... we hope to see
production stopped this year!"
The Nat ional Campaign to St op the
MX, which represents more than fifty na·
tional civic, religious, environmental, and
agricu ltural organizations, is gearing up to
support two as-of-yet-untitled bills which
will be offered to Congress this Spring.
One would de-authorize the unspent portion of the $2.1 billion appropriated last
year to begin MX production. The o ther
would delete the $3.2 billion which President Reagan has requested in this year's

budget to build an addit ion al 40 missiles.
"The MX should be stopped for three
important reasons," Moore contended .
"First, it is destabilizing. Due to an extraordinary accuracy, the MX is capablc
of striking such precbe targets as the Soviet
missile silos. This might cause the Soviet s
to adopt, as Senator Sam Nunn put it , ' a
use them or lose them attitude .' "
"Secondly, the MX has brough t us no
closer to arms control agreement s with the
Soviets. Last fall President Reagan pursuaded man y in Congress to vote fo r MX
fund s as a compromi se to bring abollt an
arms control agreement. That promised
agreement is no closer tod a y than it was
la st year, and ten sions between th e tIVU
supcrpowers have increased!
"Finally, the MX is a huge wast e or tax payer money. With the Federal deficit topping $180 billion, the $30' billion projected
cost for th is missile is a heavy price to pay
for a weapon that increases the risk of
nuclear war and decreases the opportunities for meaningful arms control."

D.C. 2oo03.

roads and bridges without provisions for
bicyclists.

Cooper Point Journal

One of the problem areas, according to
comm ittee member James Dick of Centralia, is the lack of shoulder for bicyclists
on Cooper Point Road. But, that is on a
local level and the committee can only
point out the problem, not institute
changes.
The members of the committee, regarded as bicycle experts in their field and appointed by Secretary of Transportation,
Duane Berentson, held their first meeting
in Ellensburg last month. They spent the
day trying to familiarize themselves with
the existing state and federal statutes, rules
and regulations, organizational charts and
operations of the legi slative regulations
presented to them by the members of the
Department of Transportation.
The committee will meet again in April
in Spokane to discuss and plan a long range
policy. Some of the topics that could be
discussed are the enforcement of rules and
regulations, how bicyles relate to ferries
and buses, and suggestive legislation pertaining to bicycling.

Pressure for the passage of wilderness
legislation has been coming from small and
medium sized timber companies who depend on federal lands for their logs. These
small comapanies contract for approx·
imately 20 percent of the logs harvestd each
year in Washington State. Gus Kuehne, a
represenatative of these companies says
"We've just had four bad years in a row,
we've gone from a depression to a recession." Adding to their headaches, the
Forest Service had postponed timber contracts on 80 million board feet of timber
until environmental studies are comp leted.
One solution proposed by this gro up is

Dept. of Transportation
recognizes bicycles

"Bicycles are viable means of transportation," says Duane Berentson, Secretar y
of Transporation.
As a result, a statewide Bicycling Ad·
visory Committee has been established
under the auspices of the Washington State
Department of Transportation and the
bicycle Federation of Washington.
The committee, consisting of six
members representing all areas of
Washington State, is to advise and assist
the Department of Transportation in the
design and planning of a statewide
transportation program as it relates to
bicycles.
What about the problems found by
Olympians and greeners? "Once in awhile
local issues will be discussed," says Don
Lund, the design engineer for the Department of Transportation . "The committee
deals with statewide level instead of local
level to recommend a policy for the
Washington State Department of
Transportation and local agencies."
The committee hopes to recognize and
eliminate some of the problems on state
roads from the bicyclists standpoint - oro-

Culture comes to Oly
... in black tie
By Brian Dixon

Photo show features Greeners

After I finished my fresh fruit salad, I
had a great time anonymously mixing with
hundereds of "cultured people." There
was no predominant age group. I saw
everyone from older gentlemen in black
formal attire to some familiar greeners
wearing their typical garb ... with a tie.
For the most part people behaved as they
do in any similar social situation: boasting
a bout recent achievements, gathering in
s mall circles where everyone knows
everyone , and if the y were drunk enough,
slapping a stranger on the back just to get
the attention of so meon e new .
But no maller how typ ical or conserva tive these folk appeared to be, they all
had an air about them that seemed to make
the Washington Center a reality before its
com pletion. Without t hem , the center
cou ld not ex ist and they knew it. And as
I left the festive affair, I felt as thoug h I
too was part of t he center itself. While dri ving hom e I had a se nsat ion of bein g in a
town with class.

Olympia has never been considered one
of the cultural hotspots of the Northwest,
but with the help of Lynn Brunton and her
assoc iates that atlitude may soon be
forgotten.
Brunton is the c hairwoman for a campaign to raise money for the new
Washington Center, a 1,000 seat theater to
be finished in 1985. Located in downtown
Olympia, the ce nter wi ll host a variety of
product ion s ranging from local bands and
artists to touring ballet troupes, jazz bands
and broadway musicals. There will also be
a 100 sea t rehearsal hall along with severa l
ot her accomodations.
To rai se money for this, The
Washington Center for Performing Arts
threw a ball in th e Olympia ballroom on
va lentines day. There was a live jazz band ,
dancing and drinking. Five hundred plates
were given away to be filled with as much
food as one could eat.

Wednesday, (Feb. 8) I attended my
first opening of an art exhibition. I made
the trip to the Tacoma Art Museum with
three other people who, unlike mysel f, are
all se rious students of art here at
Evergreen. I was quite intimidated by the
un familiar s urroundings and early on
decided to play it safe and just write a '
"hard news" account of the event. After
all, who was I to write a critical re view of
a showing of the four winners of a statewide photography compet ition? I haven't
even mastered the technique of spot-to ning
the gliches out o f my own photos.
I changed my mind on the way ho me,
though. The threl;' artists in th e car with me
were discussing the show, a nd the y were
saying the sa me things I had been Ihinking as I looked at the photographs. Maybe
I knew more about art than I realized. So,
wi th my views properly validated, here arc
my imp ress ion s of the exhibition.
First of all, the four exhibitors were
chosen, last June, from photographers a ll
over Washington who entered the competition. All of us at Evergreen can be extremely proud of the fact that three of the four
winners, Thomas Anson, Jackie Canterbury and Mike Lavine, come from this very
campus.
The fourth exhibitor, John Jermain, is
a Seattle resident. He has a B.S. in
photography from the Rochester Institute
of Technology in New York . He apparently learned the craft well there, because his
work is technically excellent. He displays
a keen understanding of how to use light
to convey a mood.
His use of soft, red tones in the photo
titled, "Triangle Bar," makes the viewer
feel warm and content. Jermain 's shortcoming, however, is that his subject matter lacks originality. His neon lit cafes and
bars and his black and white series of
dilapidated urban architecture have been
done to death.
Subject matter was also the major pro-

blem with Thomas Anson's exhibit. Anson, a TESC graduate who currently works
in Photo Services, chose to stay close to
home for his series of black and whites.
His technical skill and his eye for lines
and shadows are highly comendable.
However, his use of such subjects as a tree
or the back gate demands close inspection
in order fer the viewer to appreciate Anson 's sk ill. The expert may find much that
is pleasing but a casual observer is unlikeIv to take the time.
Jackie Canterbury, the only native
Washingtonian on the bill, is a health
education graduate of the University of
Washington presently teaching at Ft.
Steilacoom Comm unity College an d Studying fine art here at TESC. She, too,
stuck to tried and true subject matt er,
showing two black and white series; one
of Soap Lake County landsca pes and th e
other of voluptuous rock . formation s.
Despite the lack of originality, some of her
photos are eye-riveting. The work s he callcd "CABO IV" was a perso nal favorite.
It has a three dimensional quality that
makes you want to stand to the side of it
to get a better look at the rocks.
While subject matter was a problem for
the other three, it was a calling card for San
Francisco native, Mike Lavine's work. The
TESC sophomore stole the show with his
black and white portraits of Seattle punks.
Though it is not a completely new theme,
you will not find similar works by simply
perusing the pages of Popular
Photography.
His use of subjects that literally scream
to be photographed was enhanced by his
excellent eye for background. Whether it
was the belligerent hostility of one of his
subjects or the extra-terrestrial appearance
of "Steve and Audine," the background
always made the feeling more intense.
Congratulations to Anson, Canterbury, and Lavine for "doing their school
proud ." The exhibition continues through
March 4th at the Tacoma Art Museum,
located at 12th and Pacific. Don't mis~ it.

All proceeds from the plays produced go
