The Local 8 Chapter of Hotel
Employees and Restaurant Employees
Unio n, current ly picketing outside The
Olympia Oyster House restaurant , has accused the restauralll's new owner of int imi~ting the employees illlo signing a
non -union COlllract.
But the restau rant 's new owner Bill
McLaughlin , and employees o f The Olympia Oyster House say it was the union that
tried to illlimidate them by threat ening to
pickct if the employees didn't sigil the
union contract.
Audrey Rollin s , a uni on represe nt at ive

by the union . She sa id she met with
empl oyees and explain ed the voting process . When she returned a week later to collect th e pl edge cards, she found th a t 13 of

Fiber and metal the medium at Gallery2

ff'

By Dean Balali

Fiber and metal may not sound like the
most thr illing medillms an art ist can work
with . But seven Japane se American
women weavers and metalworkers have
proven how exciting and intriguing creation s wi th these materials can be. Their
work is o n di splay in Ga llery II here at
Evergreen.
Gai l Tremblay , curator of the exhibit,
has brought together for the first time a
number of works by widely acclaimed

-

Japanese American women who have
shown their crafts in Europe, Japan, and
the United States. The works vary from the
smallest pin and pendant to wall size screen
prints. Most invite a gentle touch, a nd indeed part of the appeal of the exhibit is that
viewers can feel and carefully stud y so me
of the woven fibers a nd th eir stronger
metal cou nterpa rts.
At first gaze around the gallery, one sees
so me of the fiber creations placed as paintings . Quickly catching ou r at tention is
Space Beyond Definition , a large wa ll
hangin g done by Shi geko Spea r. It s curv-

ed im agery pulls the viewer from side to
side and, finall y, in vites the viewer within .
Near Space, a n untitl ed work by Ruth
Asawa hangs like a cha ndelier. Made of interwoven iron wire , the pi ece gives a "ship
in a bottle" impression as we firs t see what
see ms to be fo ur or five sph eres somehow
inside of eac h ot her. Actually, a con tinuou s sheet of wove n wire has been fo ld ed in o n it self, much in th e sa me se nse a
talented gum chewing bubble blower might
fill o ne bubble with new o ncs. The result
with metal is fasc in ating.
T hree handmad e paper images by Ta ik o
Suz uki also sta nd ou l. Protected by glass
because of their fragility, they consist of
sticks, tears, and bumps se t just ri ght on
papyrus type backings, Suzuki hopes to
share "tact il e and visua l exper iences with
the viewer." She succeeds .
Junco Sato Pollack 's configurations
serve as the finest example of th e complexity of a ll works on di splay . T hi s isn't fac tory produced stuff. Imm easurable care
and talent wenl into these crafts. Strands
of fiber, pulled and woven delicat ely and
dyed with a n exact amount of co loring,
unite 10 show how firm and powcrfu l softness can be . Strips of meta l (the same
material that is linked and called 'Sears
Fenci ng') bend and curve and invit e our
mind s to do the same.
Other artists di splayed include Kay
Se kimachi, whose woven bow ls a re si t lik e

.Profs from TESC and local
high schools to teach ~ach other
with cooperative teaching grant
By Mike McKenzie
The Northwest Area Foundation has
awarded The Evergreen State College and
North Thurston, Capital and Tumwater
High Schools a $9,990 gran I to establish
a "Cooperatives for Quality Teaching Program." Only Iwo s uch grants were awarded to Washington state projects out of 2 I 5
proposals .
The new program will continue efforts
to improve the quality of instruction
through cooperative efforts between
Evergreen and local high schools that
began originally with a grant from Ihe National Endowmenlfor the Humanities
(NEH) ..
Past NEH grants have funded the
Pacific Northwest Writing Consortium
which promotes writing throughout the
curriculum at Evergreen and several colleges in the Northwest.
"The new project will expand that emphasis on writing skills to the high school
level, " reports Evergreen Academic Dean
Barbara Leigh Smith, who will coordinate
the project. "It will also promote faculty
development and encourage creation of interdisciplinary approaches to learning in
Ihe high schools."
"Our project will address the serious
lack of communication between high
schools and colleges by pairing six high
school teachers in the humanities and
science with six Evergreen faculty from
equivalent fields," says Smith.
Each of the high school teachers will
spend a week at Evergreen, and Evergreen
. faculty will do the same at the high schools.
The project is intended to capitalize on
Evergreen's long standing work in interdisciplinary curriculum development and
writing in all areas of study.
Evergreen faculty member Will Humphreys will work with high school faculty
to help them forge links between courses
and disciplines.
Another Evergreen faculty member,
Thad Curtz, will help area teachers find
ways to integrate writing into their courses.
"Curtz will direct a two-day workshop
for all participating teachers next fall in
which he'll emphasize various approaches
to including writing in all subject areas,"
says Smith. "He'll also explore ways
teachers can avoid becoming overwhelmed by the workload additional writing exercises may impose. "

The program will stress quality wriling
through editing and revision. Students will
learn 10 write better instead of only writing
more. They will gain practice and get input from fellow sl udenls as well a s fr"om
leachers.
At Tumwaler High , for example,
leachers from American literature and
American history might explore ways their
two courses ca n be linked , according 10
Tumwaler coordinator Chris Mahlum .
"We think students will gain an inlerdisciplinary perspeclive and better undersland connections bel ween whal they ' re
reading in literature and what period of
history they're studying."
Marianne Larson, North Thurston coordina tor, like Ihis emphasis. She and Smith
agree writing is now too narrowly confined 10 English classes.
" It almost represenls writing without
contexl ," Larson comments. "We want to
encourage students to write in every
discipline, to put their writing into a subject contexl like science or humanities ."
Writing may also be incorporated into
psychology and visual arts .
Throughoul the year-long project Smith,
Humphreys and Curtz will meet regularly
with Larson, Mahlum and Capital High
coordinator Joe Keikkila to evaluate their
efforts.
"We'l! bring in an outside evaluator to
help us asses what we've accomplished next
spring," Smith adds. " We already know
this grant has enabled us to establish a major link between our high schools and
Evergreen - and to take significant strides
toward improving the quality of education
in all four schools."
Past NEH and PNWC funding has been
used to sponsor a series of monographs individualized written reports by
Evergreen faculty on teaching interdisciplinary writing.
These reports include Response Writing:

One Way to Teach Writing in the
Humanities by Mark Levensky, Journal of
Exploration: an Approach to Teaching
Writing by Pete Sinclair, Writing and

Dr. Susan Strasser, faculty historian at
The Evergreen Stale College, has been
awarded a $10,000 fellowship by the
American Council of Learned Societies for
i he 1984-85 academic year.
Funded by the National Endowment for
the Humanities, the fellowship will enable
Strasser to work on a research project on
what she describes as "the creation of
modern constJmption."
The study, she says, will provide "a
business history of the transformation by
which Americans became co nverted from
making their own products and using
make-shift products by local craftspeople
to purchasing nationally marketed goods
made by large corporations.
"Before the late 1800's, .. she explains,

brand name, standardized products clothing, bread, preserves, all kinds of
everyday necessities. But between 1890 and
1920 a major shift occurred and national
manufacturers launched a marketing campaign that consciously converted
Americans into consumers of their own
products·. "
Strasser's new research will follow her
critically acclaimed book, Never Done: A
History of American Housework, published in 1982 by Pantheon Books in New
York.
Her research project, she predicts, "will
probably lead to my second major publication." Earlier thi s year, the faculty
historian was awarded a year's leave from
Evergreen to work on the project.

David Marr appointed dean
Dr. David Marr, an Evergreen State College facu lty member for 13 years, has been
named to a two- year appointment as an
academic dean. His appointment, announced this week by Everg reen Academic
Vice President and Provost Dr. Patrick
Hill, becomes effective in June.
Marr has taught literature and American
studies at Evergreen since the year it open·
ed. "He has been dedicated to Evergreen's
interdisciplinary approach," sa id Hill, and
"he has directed or participated in a
number of coord inated studi es programs,
the hallmark of an Evergreen education.
"David will bring to the deanery a clear
sense of Evergreen's history - and a determination as our enrollment grows to
preserve and strengthen those innovative
e.lement s which have helped us ach ieve na·
t iona l recognit io n, added Hill. "H is pro,en record as a successful teacher in all of
our st udy modes and the high regard in

whi ch he is held by faculty and students
make him an ideal addition to the deans'
tcam . "

Marr's educational background includes
a bachelors degree in English and a masters
degree in American civilization , both from
the University of Iowa, and a doctorate in
American stud ies from Washington State
University.
In his new role, Marr wil replace outgo·
ing academ ic dean Dr. Ron Woodbury,
who has accepted a two-year appointment
as director of Evergreen's Computer Services. Marr's new responsibilities will include faculty evaluation, coordination of
academic and support services for first year
students, adm issions and advising with
Evergreen's teacher certificat ion program,
and academic administration, along with
what Hill called "other new and negotiable
ta sks . "

business and in local , state, and national
governments. What you learn in this Intercollegiate State Legislature will most certainly stay with you and playa part in
whatever fields you chose to enter."
Students convened the first session of the
WISL, Wednesday, April 4. The session
went four days through Saturday, April 7.
Three Evergreen students Connie Grey,
Kathryn Campbell, and Gary Burris participated in the session. The Evergreen
delegation introduced three pieces of
legislation. The bills were a higher education tuition freeze, an expansion of a
timber lands lease revenue law giving
money to the three regional universities, including TESC, and a nat rate I percent
state income tax. The first two of these bills
are already in the state legislature under
consideration.
The tuition freeze bill and the capital
funds bill passed committee with do/pass
recommendations, while the income tax bill
came out with a no prejudice recommendation which means the committee had no
st rong feelings either way. When the bills
came up in the Senate, Evergreen'S two
senators Grey and Campbell worked hard
to explain the bills and persuade other
senators to their point of view. The tuition
freeze bill and the capitol improvement bill
passed the Senate. In the House, Burris
spoke for the capitol improvement bill
which passed. The credit for getting the tuition freeze bill passed in the House goes

to the Rep. Majken Ryherd, WWU, who
also lobbied the real state legislature on' this
issue.
On the last day of the session the youth
governor signed ten pieces of legislation
two of which were bills from Evergreen.
Elections for next year's officers also took
place on the last day . Maj ken Ryherd from
WWU was elected governor and will served through the next session. The position
of LL Governor went to Jeff T uttle of
WSU and Speaker of the House went to
Brian Burnett also of WSU. In a close race
for the position of Speaker Pro Tempore
Connie Grey, TESC lost out to Scott
McDougall from WSU. in another close
race Gary Burris, TESC, was elected to the
position of President Pro Tempore of the
Senate. Burris was further honored by being awarded the house excellence award for
the person that most epitomized what other
house members looked for in a representative. The Senate excellence award went
to Joseph Crunkilton of WSU .
The Intercollegiate Legislature exists in
15 other states mostly in the south and east.
The ISL's in these states are very successfuL The governor of North Carolina,
Gov. James B. Hunt, and the Lt. Gov. of
South Carolina are both participants in
their states ISL.
All of the newly elected officers of the
WISL are left with the responsibility to get
the organization off the ground. All subsequent sessions of the WISL will be in the
fall to avoid scheduling conflicts with the
state legislature. The major goals in
preparation for this fall's session are to get
more people involved and to raise enough
money to make the organization financially
stable.
Anyone interested in finding out more
about the WISL is encouraged to call Gary
Burris at 866-3889.

5AL-ES.,. vP I..INTII.-,

By Allison C. Green
When the film Not a Love Story came to campus last fa ll, documenting the world
of strippers, x-rated films and pornographic magazines, the issu~o f the First Amendment surfaced agai n.
If pornography is truly dangerous psychologically and physically to women, is it
at all poss ible to control it legally without losing our rights to fr eedom of expression?
Well, it' s not as simple as peop le would have you believe who think t hat all expres, ion is sacred , no matter its a ims, and any form of legal contro l leads directly to
:cnsorship of news and politics.
I assert that not a ll forms of express ion are covered by the First Ame\ldment because
our Founding Fathers wrote it with specific reasons in mind. There are numerous
forms of specch that a re controlled by law , because differcnt forms of speech have
.
different purposes .
I believe that freedom of speec h is a means to libert y, not an inherent part of tl.
The First Amendment keeps those in power from censoring ideas that are agatnst
the status quo and threaten their power. The First Amendment therefore covers a
certain kind of speec h: the expression and debate of ideas; the political dialogue.
Through this expression we ga in se lf·determination and thereby gain libert y. What
is inherent to liberty is having equality and independence. The First Amendment hclps
us gain equa lity and independence.
.
.
People that bristle at the slightest hint of control of any form of expression believe
freedom of speech is an inherent part of liberty; we are free because we can express
whatever we want. But obviously, the makers of the Constitution did not interpret
the First Amendment this way. There are numerous restrictions on forms of speech.
It is against the law to incite violence in volatile circumstances: you can' t shout "fire!"
in a crowded theatre. It is against the law to solicit cnmes: weanng a button that
says "Don't register for the draft" is illegal because is urges young men to break
the law . You can't legally commit perjury. Laws exist to prevent slander, libe l and
false advertising.
.
No, in no way does the First Amendment use the word freedom to mean IIb~r t y
to do just as one chooses. Rather, the First Amendment is a protectton of ?ur right
to participate in our government and society as equal, independent tnd.lvl?uals.
Chief Justice Warren Burger of the United States Supreme Court said 111 1973,
"To equate the free and robust exchange of ideas and political debate wi~h commercial exploitation of obscene material demeans the grand conceptton of the First Amendment and its high purposes in the historic struggle for freedom. It IS a misuse of the
great guarantees of free speech and free press."
The confusion is that speech is not always used to communicate ideas. Advertising
is a form of speech used to sell goods and services. And false advertising law s strictly
govern it. Few people would defend the right of advertisers to say wh.ate~er they want
about their products. How could we ever buy anything, not knowll1g If the claims
about it were true or not? As it is, advertisers have plenty of methods to attract our
dollars: catchy jingles, emotional associations, snappy images .
As a writer I have as great a stake as anyone in a free press. As long as we understand the distinctions between the different purposes of speech we can keep our freedom
intact.
Next week I'll talk about pornography, a word whose roots mean "writing about
female captives." I'll show how pornography is so harmful, and in fact libelous, that
it is a kind of expression that needs to be controlled.

"Jesse Jackson. 1 think the main
reason I'm voting for Jesse Jackson
is because he's giving more power
to blacks in the Democratic party
and he's forging the way for
minorities and women in politics.
He's bringing up issues that are ignored by other candidates. Jesse
Jackson is bringing new hope and
spirit to the underprivileged Rain·

"I'm voting for Jesse Jackson
bccause he's the first person to really address underprivileged people
like Native Americans. He really
CARES about the people. The
other candidates may talk about
the Marlin Luther King peace marches but Jesse was IN them. He was
personally fighting for something
he believed in. And he's giving
women a chance, too. He has said
he will choose a woman as a running mate. Humanity is of higher
value than money, and Jesse
Jackson is a humanitarian - more
than any of the other candidates I
have seen. He has nothing to lose."

"Jesse Jackson . 1 think he's the

have their hands tied and they can't

no real representation in government. Jesse's gonna

Orin Smith has been working his way up the management
ladder ever since leaving the University of Washington one
year into his pursuit toward a Doctorate in Business Administration. He had previously acquired an MBA from Harvard University.
Smith has held a number 'of positions at Touche-Ross, a
management consulting firm with 87 offices in the U.S.,
beginning as an Associate Consultant in 1969 to Manager
in the Management Consulting Division in 1977.
In 1977, Governor Dixy Lee Ray named Smith as Director
for the Office of Financial Manageinent. He quickly became
a shining exception to an otherwise undistinguished and
much-maligned cabinent, earning the respect of the press and
state government leaders for his ability and his willingness
to stand up to Governor Ray~. Smith left his post in 1980 to return to a high management position at Touche-Ross where he is currently
employed.
Appointments include: member of the President's C lub
at Evergreen and the U of W, Washington State Legislative
Emergency Commission on Economic Development, and
Capital Needs Advisory Group.

"His concern for students, the quality of their instruction
and the means to provide access for them dominate most
of Pat's endeavors in formulating public policy. He has
worked closely with the student lobby in Sacramento and,
through his earlier efforts, a student also sits on his Commission as a full member. When new programs are requested
or reorganizations proposed he asked the question, 'Is it good
for the students?' To him, 'institutional needs' mean 'student needs'."
"Callan's reputation for impartiality, analytic capability and
his knowledge of higher education and its myriad interfacing facets of conflict has brought the California Post Secondary Education Commission an outstanding national as well
as state reputation. His philosophical and empirical
understanding of 'political realities' and of the ' world of
higher education and his capability in dealing fairly and impartially with the diverse interest groups of this complex and
large state have made the Commission one of the most persuasive and powerful in the nation."

Lyman Glenny! Professor Emeritlls
University of California
"He is so thoroughly conversant with all of the best think ing, and has devoted himself to such thorough consideration of where education is and ought to be, that he is always
out front in identifying problems and objectives, laying out
the most rational alternatives, and recommending how best
to move ahead."
"On all of the problems I have observed Pat consider, I have
never known him not to be affirmatively sensitive to the
needs and concerns of all those whose interests are potentially affected."
Pamela Ann Rymer! U.S. District Court Judge
CALLAN ON CALLAN

WHA T SOME PEOPLE SA \' ABOUT THOMAS .' ELD

WHA T SOME PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ORIN SMITH
" One of Smith's outstanding qualities is that he commanded
the respect of diverse groups even as he held politically sensitive positions of power. He is held in esteem by both state
workers and the business community, and admired by those
working with and under him. He has earned this respect both
for his experitise and competency and also for his integrity,
exemplified by his decision to leave a top management position in government when he felt his views were no longer
in accord with the administration. There are few who have
controlled the levers of power at very high levels and maintained such an unimpeachable reputation."

Jolene Unsoeld
"Orin achieved exceptional respect as Director of the Office of Financial Management, among legislators, college and
university presidents, key business leaders - even former
budget directors. All who came into contact with him were
impressed by his decisive, intelligent, thoughtful leadership
on Washington State's most important and difficult agency. The quality of his decisons was superior. His success in
getting them accepted, by the Governor, by the legislat ure,
and by those directly affected, resulted from the personal
respect he achieved and his cooperative and collegial style."

WJlter C. Howe Jr. ! Vice President, Weyerhaeuser Co.
SMITH ON SMITH
.. I believe that undergraduate education should seek to empower individuals with reasoning, problem solving and communication skills; it should seek to foster the student's
capacity for self-directed learning with or without the
assistance of educational institutions; it should sensitize
students to the moral and ethical dimensions of personal.
economic, community and political life. There are a number
of ways these objectives might be met but my preference is
for an integrative curriculum which derines problems and
issues in terms of the societal and natural universes and then
applies the specialized disciplines. The skills and sensitivities
that undergraduate education should promote can and
should be developed in a variety of settings, including group
and individual learning and critical involvement in new
experiences ...

"There are at least three functions a president of any
organization, including a college, must perform. These three
functions are leadership, management, and administration.
Although defined in various ways, leadership is essentially
the ability to envision what an institution or other entity
should become and to develop among all those involved the
enthusiasm and motivation tht will make the vision become
reality. Management includes the basics of planning, organiz- "Educational inS.titutions must continue to be responsive to

ed to ensure that goals are reached or that plans are modi fied
responsive to changes in market demands, they should also

playa strong role in shaping responsible reactions to them .

"Under Dr. Feld's leadership, Mount Mercy has undergone
rapid , orderly growth. The college has each year achieved
a substantial operating surplus.
"In short, from a management and fiscal perspective, Dr.
Feld has 'turned the college around.'"
"Dr. Feld listens. As a result, he is aware of the needs and
concerns of others, identifies with those needs and concerns,
and works effectively to fill the needs and address the concerns of all groups within the college community."
"As a former student of his, I can personally testify to his
excellence as a professor. He did not simply relay information; he challenged students to think. His enthusiasm for learning was and is contagious. (Whatever skills I have as a communicator are attributab le substantially to him.)"
U.S. Congressman Tom Tauke
"Dr. Feld has demonstrated a com mitment to the sp irit and
practice of affirmative action by building an excellent administrative staff including the first black Vice President of
Student Affairs and two female Vice Presidents, one a former
College President. Mount Mercy College now ha s more
minorities in top administrative posts than any other private
college in Iowa.
"He has managed to operate each year in the black and at
the same time increase the value of the endowment. His administration has also achieved a significant increase in student enrollment at a time when the number of potential
students is on the decline ."
Clayton F. Callis, Chairman ! A merican Chemical Society
FELD ON FELD
..... ineffective administrators are reactive, 'fire fighters,' if
you will, responding primarily and principally to solving problems as they arise. Effective administrators are 'proactive,'
primarily devoted to the development of appropriate means
and objectives to fulfilling the organization's goals. As such ,
planning and implementation of those plans constitute the
fundamental function of administration, recognizing that
plans (whether strategic or operational) are doomed to be
an exercise in futility without people who are committed to
them . Therefore, good administration necessitates the
recognition that people are the most important resource
available to the institution."
"As a student, I participated extensively in Forensics activites,
including debate, oratory, oral interpretation, and after dinner speaking. At the senior convocations, I received a special
award for having won more trophies than any individual in
the history of the College. The fact that my alma mater hired
me immediatley upon graduation to teach speech (even
though my major was political science) would tend to indicate that I can communicate well ."

Duality Waltz "ready to
By Ilean Batali

At the movies:

Opening the concert will be The Market
Brothers, an Olympia blue-grass and folk
duo comprised of Anson Olds on guitar
and Eppo on mandolin .
Tickets for their concert, which benefits
KAOS-FM radio, are on sale now at Rainy
Day Records, Positively 4th Street and the
Evergreen Bookstore for $3 for students
and senior cit izens-' and $3.50 general.
Tickets will also be available at the door.
Handicapped seat ing will be provided.
Further information is available by calling KAOS FM, 866-6822.

Theater goers will soon share in a
"search for the geometry of divinity " when
the Dualily Walrz comes to the Experimental Theatre on April 19. Written by
Evergreen student Nick Lewis, the production is described as a "cosmic rock musical
comedy" and incorporates fully ninety
minutes of music into a high technology
experience.
Lewis, a junior at Evergreen, calls his
creation a "cosmic Wizard ojOz . The lead
character makes a coup le of transformations. He starts out as an oppressed individual, then stumbles across cosmic consciousness and ends up in Duality Land,
which is something like earth."
The lead character (now called I Am)
becomes free of polarization; that is, he
doesn't know anything about good or evil,
left or right, up or down. The character
named Duality doesn't like I Am being so
unseparated, so he tricks him into travelling through Duality Land. There, I Am
becomes a non-entity and meets up with
such characters as Urth, Fire, Water, Air,
Love, Hope, Fear, and Death. Each of
these have their individual motivations in
searching for the author of the play.
"It is a musical," explains Lewis, "but
we're kind of structuring the visualness of
it as a concert, considering there is so much
music." He describes his music as progressive classical pop, and is influenced by
the Beatles, classical, Reggae, and Eastern
music. The show might be compared to
MTV on stage. But while videos stress
violence and the like, Lewis calls Dualily
Waltz "peace-centered artwork."
"I imagine it's going to be a lot of fun
for the people who show up," Lewis
revealed. "It is definitely a comedy, and
you get caught up in it. It's an audience
participation show . We want the audience
to be able to boo and yell at the characters.
We're really hoping that people will participate in it."

While Lewi s has spent recent weeks
xeparing with the Duality Waltz Orchestra
:he is musical director and plays guitar and
piano), a number of other Evergreen
5tudents have worked with the primarily
, tudent cast and crew. Rick Powell is directing the show, Austin SI. 10hn
choreographs, and Toby Beck designed the
set.
lason Turner and Doug Mackay portray
I Am and Duality, respectively. Kevin
Mercer is Urth, Linda Thompson is Air,
Kenan Kelley is Fire, and Ellen Norton is
Water.
Lewis first set his sights on producing his
show last Spring, when Duality Waltz was
still just an idea. Since the beginning of this
school year he has been writing the music,
lyrics and script on individual contract.
What happens next depends on the success
of the show.
"The musical has been mostly just for
fun and experience," says Lewis. "I'll be
going on vacatiory this summer and taking
a video tape and audio tape of the show
with me, and I'll play them for anyone who
asks." He also mentioned he is in the process of turning Duality .WaIIZ into an
opera, and the orchestra will continue to
play together as long as there are people
willing to li sten.
Lewis predicts that audiences will leave
the show charged up. He says DlIalily
Waltz is "rated G, though lean ing towards
PG," so kids and grandmas are invited to
attend. If the production is as interesting
as it sounds, all should be pleased.
The Duality Waltz runs from Thursday,
April 19, through Sunday, April 22. All
shows begin at 8:00 p.m .. On Saturday,
April 21 there will be an additional 2:00
p.m. matinee. Performances will be in the
Experimental Theatre. Tickets cost $3 for
students/seniors and $3.50 general. They
are on sale at Rainy Day Records, Yenney's Music, and the Evergreen Bookstore.

Fish story makes Splash

By Dean Batali
Boy meets fish. Fish gets legs. Fish finds
boy. Boy loves fish. Boy loses fish . Boy
gets fish. They kiss, and swim happily ever .
after .
Such is the plot of Splash, a comedy that
deals with a mermaid's relationship with
a New York produce company manager.
In addition to unique situations, lots of
light hearted laughs, and standout performances by the ent ire cast, Splash is one of
the best done love stories I' ve seen in a long
time. I liked it a lot.
Alan first meets the mermaid when both
are about ten years old (I'm assuming we
COllnt mermaid years the same as human
years). He leaps off of a tour boat and
almost travels away with her before a
rescuer pull s him from the water. Years
later, the mermaid (played by Daryl Han-

nah with hair just long enough to keep the
movie rated PG) tracks down Alan (Tom
Hanks, late of T.V.'s Bosom Buddies) in
New York and moves in with him. See,
when dry, the fish gets legs. After her first
day ashore the now human woman learns
English from television. Alan doesn't know
that Madison, the woman, is a mermaid.
Eugene Levy, as a scientist, docs know,
and spends a good part of the movie trying to douse Madison with water so she'll
grow her fin.
Perfectly added to all thi s is 10hn Candy as Alan's brother. Candy's character
likes to play racquetbell with a cigarette in
one hand and a beer in the o t her. For the
first part of the movie he's ecstatic because,
he cheers, . 'They printed my letter in Pen thouse!" It's great to see SCTV grads Levy
and Candy in movies lik e this. They both
have a lot to offer.

Alan supplies great looks of confusion and
the right touch of sarcasm when having to
explain Madison's habits (her name,
spoken in her language, shatters department store windows, and her style of eating
lobster is, well, mermaidish), And Daryl
Hannah has risen above her Reckless and
Summer Lovers roles to provide the look,
eyes, and innocence we'd expect from a
mermaid, Her appearance and presence
help balance the film's fantasy and reality.
Ron Howard (Opie and Richie Cunningham all rolled into one) directed Splash.
This is his third feature film (Nightshijl is
his most recent), and he shows lots of promise. He has a nice touch for this type of
material and, especially, these characters.
Howard has lots of talent and lots of
pote'ruial. Watch for more movies directed

by him (his next project is Cocoon, a $10
million sci fi film).
•
I guess what makes Splash so enjoyable
is its believability. I had heard lots about
the movie and seen some funny clips and
expected two hours of sli ghtly zany comedy woven around an almost too bizarre
plot (mermaids don't show up at the Statue
of Liberty every morning). I got the zany
comedy, but also lots of tighly drawn, well
written laughs. And at the core were real
relationships which perfectly accented the
films attempt s.

Splash is playing at Lacey Cinemas and
should be around for at least a couple more
weeks. Monday nights are only two dollars,
but this one'li give you your money's worth
even if you have to hand them four.

What's it like being a single mother in
a working rock band? How do you deal .
with sexism in a male dominated profession? These are some of the questions [
asked Pam Maritzer, also known as
Pamela Ritz, at an interview over lunch .
Ritz is the lead vocalist for a new
modern/new wave music band, "FX,"
springing up and out of our somewhat
sleepy town. "FX" plays in Library 4300
on Friday, April 13 at 9 p.m. for $2. As
I talked with her and her daughter, Theta,
I was impressed by Ritz' enthusiasm and
the air of rock and roll that surrounds her
personal style. She conveys the same enthusiasm in her music with "FX." "FX"
consists of Don Hinckle on bass, Ray
Hagen on drums, Kevin Offinger on synthesizer and saxophone, Joe Dylan on lead
guitar and Ritz. Ritz has been involved in
several local bands, including the "US
Band," "Detension" and "The Goods."
CPJ: What's it like being a performer in
Olympia?
PR: What I'm doing now is covers. I've
been through enough musical experience
that I think ott's a dead end to try and do
art in Olympia. If you're gonna do art go
to Seattle because at least there'll be money
there to support you. Whereas there may
be familial support [in Olympia], there just
isn't any money for anyone no matter what
you're doing.

now?
PR: As a songwriter I'm really fascinated
with what people are writing now and how
they're writing. The band I'm in now has
a synthesizer and most of the stuff we're
doing involves a synthesizer. It's almost
like I should learn to play synthesizer if I'm
going to write modern songs. Guitar just
seems so archaic to me - it's like whipping out a lute to write these songs.

CP 1: Is that why you stopped playing
guitar on stage?
PR: After a couple bands down the road
[ just dropped the guitar and started working on me as a lead vocalist. That was
something to reckon with because that involves movement and appearance. You
can't really hide behind a guitar anymore.
You really have to be a personality. That
was really more of a challenge for me to

Dancers and hot air' bands

By Brad Aikin
In the weeks to come I'll be informing
you about what is happening in the performing arts at Evergreen. I will be conducting interviews with visiting art ists and lecturers, students, faculty, and, yes, the ever
present staff (not the contagious sort). In
addition to this, I will, on occasion, be
stepping off the campus of The Evergreen
State College, and venturing into the
ominous reclusion of Olympia. After all,
. it's not as bad as it seems. So to begin , let
me inform you about what is happening
on campus.
-By the time you get t hi s Paper you may
have missed Kei Takei and the Moving
Earth Company at today's Arts Symposium. But, don't miss her, and her company, Thursday, April 12 at 8 p.m. in the
Experimental Theatre of the Communications Building. You can get your tickets at
the door: $5/$4 . Takei is a Japanese born
dancer, and a leading avant-grade
choreographer in New York. Her ritualistic
dance performance has been reviewed as
"overwhelming in its emotional effect."

To be honest, I haven't spent a lot of
time on campus lately. To be totally
honest, San Francisco was fun, but you
can't grow blueberries there. So what
about Olympia? Last weeken'd a group of
friends invited me to The Battle of the AirBands, which is an event that will be happening every Friday night in April, at the
Capitol Theatre, in downtown O lympia. I
agreed to go, after finding out that I'd be
spending Friday night alone if I d idn't. On
the way to the theatre, everyone took turns
explaining to me what we were about to
bare witness to. Several groups of raw
ta lent (six to be exact) would be on stage
miming tho:: songs of various rock groups
that they had chosen to imitatc.
Once inside the theatre we were subject
to an atmosphere of "almost anyt hing
goes" and what appeared to be poor planning on the part of the sponsors. The show
was supposed to start at eight, and it was
nearly eight-thirty before the first band got
out on stage. Later I found out that the
celebrity that was to M .e. the event showed up 10 minu{es to curtain call. And if that
wasn't enough, I was told that some of the

contestants didn't even bother showing up,
leavi ng a couple of the bands fragmented.
As it turned out, a few of the members
from the other bands filled in for those that
didn't show up .
Before I'd suggest to anyone thai this is
the way to spend their Friday night, I'd ask
them a few simple questions: 1). Would
you come over to my house, pay me four
dollars for admission to watch me mime
one of my Rolling Stones LPs? 2). Would
you wait a half hour before I start to entertain you? 3). And would you pay a quarter
more then you'd have to pay at a machine,
for a can of pop from my refrigerator?
I'm not saying that the Capitol Theatre's
Air Band competition doesn't have the
potential to be good entertainment. For
starters, the price of admisssion could go
down. I would suggest an entry fee for the
bands, which might encourage the contestants to work harder, and be more committed. I think the $500 prize is a good incentive for the contestants, but I believe
there should be a little more in it for the
audience - that's all.

do that. As much as I enjoy using guitar
to write songs with I really have a lot more
fun just jumping around the stage and
playing."
CP 1: Has your style changed by being a
cover band?
PR: I've noticed my vocal style changing.
It's no longer just me deciding what will
fit with my originals. It's now what vocal
style fits with the covers. And what the
cover artist did.
CP 1: Is there a distinctive vocal style in
modem music?
PR: There's a lot more squeaking and
noises that you can make . My natural
tendency [used to bel: if you're going to
sing, sing like Barbra Streisand or Frank
Sinatra. Now you can be just percussive
with your voice.
CP): What's it like being a single performer with a daughter?
PR: I always want her to be involved in my
life and this is the choice I'v!,! made - to
do music. I always knew that. okay, she' s
going \0 have to be involved on a prett y
heavy level with th e music. It' s a test for
me .
CPJ: As a woman in a male dominat ed
profession , have you dealt with sexism
from club owners or band mcmbers?
PR: No matter what sex you are club
owners are always impressed by someone
who knows what they're talking about.
You come and say "Here's our song li st,
here's our pictures, our demo tapes what we do. We're gonna be great for
you." I haven't run into club owners saying, "Well, let me talk to your bass
player." If you come off positive and
strong enough they're going to listen no
matter who you are .

By Gary Burris
The Evergreen' s men ' s Southwest
Washington Soccer Association (SWSA)
division 1 team is off to a great start. This
team participates in a city league and is an
Evergreen Club sport team. The team has
a 2-1 record after 3 weeks of competition.
In the team's first game the team was
forced to play 2 persons short (only 9
players showed up : a team usually consists
of I I players). The Evergreen squad overcame this hardship with an outstanding effort and came out a head by a score of 2-0.
Sunday April I , however, the team suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of the Legion
Inn team from Aberdeen. Both teams exhibited good defense and agressive play,
keeping the game close all the way . The
team found itself behind 1-0 at half time,
played tough the whole 2nd half and put
on a rally the last 5 minutes with many
shots just missing .
This past weekend, April 8, the team
came u with another reat erformance

Ben)i Chotzen played, in his coaches words, "a very neat malch" as he defeated
George Solov)iev 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. The Geoducks lost the match, however 8-1.

Track team improving
By Gary Burris
The Evergreen track team is alive and
well and awaiting new athletes to come and
join in the fun. There are several dedicated
athletes and a coach, Pete Steilberg just
waiting for new persons to run and participate in field events.
In the last meet, March 31, three
students participated: Becky Burton,
Charlie Campbell and Gary Burris. Becky
Burton ran 13 .85 seconds in the 100 meters
breaking her own school record of 13.99

seconds. Burton also ran the 200 meter in
a time of 29 .8. Charlie Campbell ran the
5000m (3 . 1 miles) in an impressive time of
16.53 eclipsing his own school record of
17 :26 set just two weeks earlier. Gary Burris is the first Evergreen runner to compete
in the 1500 this year. He finished with a
time of 4 :43.1 . Burris had planned to run
the 800 meter but settled for the 1500 when
the 800 was cancelled.
Anyone interested in joining the track
team, whether you wish to compete or not,
is encouraged to come to the Rec. Center

against the Hamm's beer team . Evergreen
enjoyed a lead at half-t ime from a goal by
John Purteman - a pushed ball to the side
of the defender and an 18 yard shot to the
lower right hand corner gave Purteman his
first goal. The second goal for Evergreen
and Purteman came off a corner kick by
Jim Leingang. Purteman came running
through the defense getting his head onto
the sharp corner kick and sending it sailing past the goal keeper, who has no
chance at saving the shot. Hamm ' s scored
its only goal with about 10 minutes to play.
The player scored on a breakaway on
goalie Carlos Va lencia, who otherwise had
a great game making several outstanding
saves. The Evergreen booters kept their
composure after this goal and played the
rest of the game well enabling them to walk
away with their second win with a 2- I final
score.
For those of you interested in playing
there is still room on the Evergreen men's
