Pornography)
.Censorship
'. no answer

Caucuses
Students
participate

Dear Editor:
Pornography is today a billion-dollar in dustry. Most people ge nerally agree that it
should be regulated in some manner. How
can this be done without compromising the
most essential cornerstone of o ur political
freedom, the First Amendment to the Constitution? Censorship is not an answer to
pornography hecause I) it is illegal and 2)
il does not work.

Dear Editor,
The first official college Precinct caucus
was attended by forty-eight of the six hundred housing residents. [ have been told by
county officials that this constitutes one of
the highest levels of attendance, proportionally, of any precinct in Thurston County. Clearly, a caucus site on campus made
it possible for more students to participate
in this important democratic process.

Presently, legal exceptions to freedom of
speech are: clear and present danger (e.g.
ye lling fire without due cause); and
obscenity. The debate on just what docs
constitute obscenity is a very important
one.
Everyone has a different definition of
"obsce ne." Anti-pornography laws will
back -fire against feminists if censorship is
arbitrarily legalized. There are as many
people who want Our Bodies Ourselves out
of the library as wanl pornography off the
st reet.

The mock caucus held on campus made
needed information and he[pful suggestions accessible to students. This enabled
them to participate more confidcntly and
effectively at their caucuses. Newlyrcgistered st udent voters were elected as
delegates from several precincts in
Thurston County. This indicates the real
potential for a heightened sense of commonality between Evergreen students and
Olympia residents that car. emerge when
they meet as a group of concerned citizens
addressing the pressing issues that affect
their community, state, and nation.

The thrcc-pronged "Miller Test"
deve loped in 1973 to try obscenity cases
defines the outer limits of regulation, which
no state law ca n legally go beyond. Somc
have tri ed, though, and these law s hav e
heen ruled un-conslitutional by Ihe
Supreme Court.
Under the Constitulionlhere is no prior
cons t raint. Each piece of pornograph y
mUSI be considered for censorship
sepa ra tely. Because of the fast turn-over
rate of pornographic film and literature a
huok may already be off th e shelf and out
of print by Ihc limc it is ruled illegal by the
courb.
Pornography is an attitudinal and educational problem. Boycotts, advcrtisc mcnts,
and organized voices are excellcnt ways of
combating it. For exa mple, NOW members
in conjul'lion ,with fundamcntalist religious
o rga ni za tions can together put a conSIderable amount 01 public pressurc on
grocery siores (or other establishments) to
stofl the se lling of sex-and-violence
magaz ines and literaturc. The most eXflediem course in regulating pornograflhy is
to educate . The best way to stop specch is
wi I h more sfleech.
Robert J. Healy

[n the last three week s of Winter Quarter
Evergreen students have regi~tered over
four hundred new voters . The positive
results of our efforts have been enhanced
by the cooperation and assistance of
Evcrgreen officials.
We look forward to continued progress
during Spring Quarter.

rooted in poverty, malnutrition, and il·
literacy. The dead remain without justice
(Isn't democracy part of the United State!
objective in Central America?) Social
organization is considered subversive opposing forces are in exile or facing the
threat of death. Murder without prosecution has become routine. Exploitation is
another fact of life where cheap labor and
gigantic profits attract multinationals.
President Reagan wants to continue providing assistance to these people using
United States tax dollars and selected
military "advisors" to modify and innuence the behavior of state opposition.
We listened to facts and figures spoken out
of passion and rhetoric, Given facts and
opinion, what's to be done?
Individual power is almost futile when
set against the bureaucracy. Any significant
movement generates from"collective action.
Hopefully, we'll all take to our typewriters
if the streets aren't in order. Just what are
our government representatives doing in
D.C.? [ scanned a Congessional Index
(98th Congress/Senate 1983-84) this morning at the State Library and found a
Senate Bill waiting to be acted upon.
(Rumor has it that it's in committee):
S2347 FOREIGN AFFA[RS AND
ASS[STANCE - CENTRAL AMERICA
- AUTHORIZATIONS To establish a
long term framework to build democracy,
restore peace, and improve living condi t ions in Central America, to authorize
assistance for fi scal years 1984-89 (to
Foreign Relations).
How will Dan Evans and Slade Gorton
votc on this bill and/ or others related?
Aren't these folks supposed to represent
popular opinion - speak on behalf of the
people? They can't do it very well without
knowing how we feel - letters, petitions
(maybe a collective letter from those who
carc about arms and dollars being sent to
Central America - how does Evergreen
and the community feel about this?),
phone calls. [f everyone who says they're
concerned can do something, then information can turn positive action - at least
hope.

from Tuesday's killing should and must be
channeled into some positive action to help
us individually deal with its horror. There
are many reasons for this type of event; [
don't believe any of us can have a meaningful constructive effect unless we narrow
dov.;:n choices for action. My choice has
been and continues to be "take the weapon
. out of the casual reach of people confused or in pain." Handguns are for killing
humans. [f you need a way to do
something, try Handgun Control 810 18th
St NW Suite 705, Wash DC 20006.
What ever you choose to do, remember
that your individual effort DOES make a
difference - if only to yourself, that is the
first step.

Dear Editor:
On April 17, at the suggestion of the
College Relations Office, [spoke with Mr.
Tomas Guillen of t he Seattle Times about
the death of Elisa Tissot. A story published on April [8, misquoting both Judy
McNickle and me, conveyed the impression
that Elisa had met persons insensitive to
her problem in the Security office. [ said
nothing to Mr. Guillen that warranted this
interpretation, and [ regret that Elisa's
tragedy has been subject to unprofessional
reporting. Please print this letter to
forestall any rumors which the Times story
may have engendcred .

What occured on Evergreen's campus
this week was not only a homicide but an
incident of domestic violence, [t followed
a distinct and often-repeated pattern of
behavior that characterizes domestic
violence, according to Peggy Pahl, Public
Relations Officer for Safeplace,
Safeplace is an agency that serves victims
of domestic and sexual abuse, including
sheltering battered women and their
children.
Pahl says there is a deep concern among
all shelter agencies over the failure of the
media to identify homicides as incidences
of domestic violence, opting instead to
"play up" the "crime of passion" o,r
"lover's quarrel" aspect.
All too frequently these "crimes of passion" are devoid of such feelings, Carolyn
Weaver, a freelance writer whose article on
the murder of her sister appeared recently
in MOlher Jones magazine (February,
1984) writes that passion is not the
motivating force. "[n fact," writes
Weaver, "these are tactical murders with
no more relationship to love than rape has
to desire."
Weaver continues: "These are
stereotyped killings. The mass media either
lump them together as generic 'domestic'
violence or romanticize them individually
as tragic 'crimes of passion' resuiting from
the killer's almost laudable, if excessive,
SEXUAL

capacity for love, The first submerges the
sex specificity of these killings; the second
their vindictiveness."
Cheyenne Goodman, an Evergreen student currently on internship with
Safeplac~, says the ' patterns of abuse
(shown in the graph continuum) happen at
Evergreen "all the time."
"There are people involved in abusive
relationships at Evergreen constantly,"
says Goodman, "just at different levels.
When someone is taking away somebody
else's power, that is a subtle form of
abuse .. .. These subtle forms are at the
lower end of the continuum but from there
they can easily escalate."
Pahl says it's important that this incident
at Evergreen not discourage women from
seeking help to leave an abusive situation.
/! is not enough, says Pahl, to encourage
a woman to leave an abusive relationship.
[f friends don't help the woman plan for
her safety after convincing her to leave then
she hasn't really been helped.
Pahl offers these steps for protection:
- Call Safeplace
- Explore legal options; restraining or no
contact orders
- Actually make a safety plan; be specific
What will you do if he calls? [f he
comes to your house?
- Explain to and reassure children
- Let one person you trust know what
you're doing, particularly someone
unknown to the antagonist and outside the
family

ABUSE'

Threats preceded tra.gedy
Michael Pimentel and Elisa Tissot were
an unusual match, according to friends
who knew them both. They met each other
through mutual friends, during fall term
1982, and soon began dating on a regular
basis. Their relationship became serious
and frie'nctii- rumored they had talked of
marriage.
But only a few months later, during
spring term, 1983, the relationship began
falling apart. A close friend of Elisa's said
she wanted to break away from MichaeL
He strongly protested but eventually
agreed.
Elisa continued to do well in school but
Michael had problems concentrating on his
school work. He dropped out of school
about three weeks into the term. This was
a pattern that continued up to winter
quarter, 1984. Michael did not register for
spring quarter this year.
According to roommates and friends of
Elisa's, Michael expressed a desire to
resume a relationship with Elisa. They said
he seemed very lonely. Elisa, feeling she
could be of no help to Michael, rejected
his offer of reconciliation.
About one and a half months ago,
Michael began phoning Elisa cont inually,
following her around town, school and
even to her job in Tacoma. Then he began
threatening her.
Elisa told many of her friends about the

This is domestic' violence

Michael Pimentel was the first perso n I
thought of when I heard about the
shooting Tuesday as I got off the bus. I
remember my first thought being, "God,
I hope it' s not MichaeL"
I first met Michael in the fall of 1981.
We were both first year students enrolled
in the same program. We ended up in the
same seminar and [ remember [ was excited
at the prospect of talking to him about his
experiences as a veteran (I had assumed he
was a vet because he wore an army jacket,
had a crippled left leg and put on the bitter, cynical attitude [ had always associated
with Vietnam veterans) . [ was disappointed
when he decided to drop the program just
three weeks into the quarter, the first of
many times he would do that.
Faculty member David Hitchens, the
seminar leader, remembers Michael as being "enthusiastic about the program and
he was Ihere intensely the first three
weeks. "
Hitchens said, "Michael had an attitude
and approach that said, ' I've got a lot of
·secrets' and he was going to wow everyone
in class at the right time. [ assumed [ would
learn more about him as the year went
on,"
I hardly saw Michael after that. Occasionally I'd run into him in the CAB, but
six weeks ago I began to see mQre of him.
On a rainy Sunday afternoon [ was at
the Spar with my Sunday paper and probably my fifth cup of coffee, when Michael
came in and sat down next to me. We
started talking aQout a nuclear demonstration that had been reported in the paper.
We spoke of the threat of nuclear proliferation (I thought it was inevitable, he wasn't
so sure), He was animated and in good

Michael Pimentei
A week later we met again, same place,
same seats. Michael was more low key,
even somber. He told me about a group of
veterans who lived alone in the forests of
Washington, Oregon and Idaho called tripwire vets. He explained that men who
could not or chose not to assimilate back
into society lived independently in the
forests, hunting game for food and living
in tents or shacks they built themselves.
Michael wondered if he should try to do
the same thing - just pack up and move
to the forest. He seemed reluctant to do it.
I asked him why so many vets were having a hard time adjusting. Was it the lack
of excitement after years of minute-tominute living? He told me it had to do with
Delayed Stress Syndrome (DSS). Too
often, Michael sai d, vets went through a
seemingly normal adjustment: got married,
settled into a job then suddenly they would
lose controL He spoke of nightmares,
flashbacks, a loss of reality that put the vet
right back in the jungle while sitting in hi s ·
suburban living room .
Michael thoughth"e-sum;red from DSS,
or at least a mild form of it but he said he'd
had some counseling last year.

Michael and I sa w each other several
timcs in thc two wecks that followed,
usually bricfly in coffec shOfl).
Three weeks ago we met and I got my
first and only real glimpse of Michael' s inner se lf. He was curious about the status
of a relationship I was involved in that
hadn't progressed as I had hoped. After
talking about myself for a bit I asked him
how he was in general. Michael said he was
upset because he'd been trying to get back
with an old girlfriend, Elisa Tissot, he'd
broken .up with a year ago" She refused to
see him and he felt hurt and couldn't
understand why she no longer acceflted
him. He told me what a good student she
was - very motivated and intelligent with
lots of future plans - but he wasn't included. School was tough for him. He was very
concerned about his inability to focus on
a specific goaL He blamed Elisa for it.
Thc last time Michael completed a
course at Evergreen was fall and winter
quarter of 1982-83 when he went through
Margaret Gribskov's "Ways of Knowing"
program. Thi s coincided with the durat ion
of his relationship with Elisa.
Michael told me he thought he would be
alright if Elisa would come back to him.
He tried to put the blame on her. I told him
that was unfair since his inability to function independently of her probably made
him less desirable. [ explained how college
is a time of great changes, growth and new
direction s. He needed to set goals for
himself and not begrudge Elisa for sticking to hers.
He seemed to acknowledge the logic of
my argument and sa id he knew I was probably right but sometime - and this is the
scene I've rerun thousa nds of times in my
head since Tuesday - sometimes he
thought of killing her , shooting her. "You
know ," he said, "sometimes [ sit and
dream th a t I've sho t her and everything's
all right." I stared at him for a moment
trying to gauge his feelings. He'd said it
casually, conversationally, but he was hurt.
I said to Michael, quietly, "You really
wouldn't want to do that. What good

would il do? She'd he goncand you 'd Ilill
be alone. It would bc nut s. "
Hc looked back al me , gavc mc a sO rt
or half-res igncd , half-amused look and
laid, "Hcll, rrancis, I wouldn'l do ii, bUI
godclamn ii, I gel so pisscd ofr ' OmClimc ...
Don't yo u ever get th a t mad?"
"S ure," I refllied . "BUl you've go tla
deal wilh it. That's what' s it's all aboul."
"I gues-. so," hc rCfll icd.
I asked him if he OW'I,d" " "" . He lai d

[ steered the conversation back to sc hool
and told him he should try to return. [ suggested he come write for the Cooper Point
Journal, since he obviously had a lot to say
and could say it welL He voiced several
doubt s and spoke of obstacles but I assured
him I would help him get through the pro cess if he wanted to come back. Hc pcrk ed up a bit and said he'd think about it
while in Ca lifornia, wherc hc was going in
the next few days.
Lasl timc I saw Michael was Saturday,
April 14. He ca me up to my place for the
first time on my invitation and I felt it was
a big step. Without actually saying it 10 him
[ was tryin g to make him feel he belonged
I here if he wanled to.
We
talked
about

sure anymore.

Presidential search reopened
Thelma Jackson, chairman of The
Evergreen State College Board of Trustee;s,
announced yesterday that the co llege's
search for a new president will be reopened.
"After we received the recommendations from our hard-working Presidential
Search Committee on March 22, the
trustees spent many, many hours reviewing the files of the candidates, checking
references and conducting additional interviews," says Jackson. "Last week we in'terviewed for a second time and offered the
positon to the best candidate, Dr. Thomas
Feld, president of Mount Mercy College.
On Sunday he, with deep regret, chose not
to accept the offer due to unanticipated circumstances which developed recently at his
school. "
Cha irman Jackson noted that all six candidates had high praise for Evergreen's
dedicated students, facult y and staff, as
well a s I he community participation evi denl during their visit s . Dr. Feld es pecial ·
Iy remarked that he felt that Evergreen was
one of the mos t exciting places to be in
hi g her education in the co unlr y and thai

he regretted not being a part of its future.
Dr. S. Rudolph Martin, faculty chairman of the Presidential Search Committee, commented, "I'm disappointed that
we were unable to get Dr . Feld as our president, but I feel that we conducted an intelligent and open search and that we had
a number of highly-qualified candidates.
I know that we all learned a great deal. I'm
confident that the college is strong, its program succeeding, and that we can pursue
another searc h with vigor."
The trustees will call a special meeting
in the near future to re-assess and analyze
the presidential search process and discuss
new timelines and procedures. Until the
vacancy is filled, Richard Schwartz will remain as acting president. Jackson indicated
that Evergreen was an institution of
regional and national prominence and that
its cu rr ent leadership is s trong.
" 'U .S. News and World Report' ranked Evergreen as th e bell regional liberal
arts co lege west of Ihe Mi ss iss ippi. We
believe Ihat Evergeen deserves nothing IeI'
than the best in a presi dent ," Jack so ll
emphasized.

"We're signing students up now so Ihat
they can get a jump on finding sponsors,"
said McCann. " Last year over 1200
walkers raised $40,000 here in the Olympia area and we're hoping for more this

administ rat ive costs," said McCann.
Pat McCann is the contact person for
Evergreen and can be reached at I nnerplace, campus extension 6145, or at
home at 943 -7359. CROP WALKers are

Measles shots
Free Meas les immuni zations, April 25
and 26, provided by Student Health Services.
Measles is an acute, highly cOlllagious
viral disease that remains a serious health
threat. While the infeclion usually lasts for
10 days it can occasionally last longer
res ulting in brain damage with mental
retardation, seizures, deafness, and/ or
paralysis.
College-age students born between
1958- 1966 are particularly suscep tible for
3 reasons: (I) They missed the mass immunization programs. 2) The vaccine used during the ear ly 60'5 did not provide
long term immunity. 3) Many escaped
natural measles infections at early ages due
to decreased transmissions.

The tragic death of Elisa Tissot on Ihe
morning of April 17 has led to rumors,
conlradictions and misinformation aboul
what exactly happened. We know that
prior to Elisa's arrival al Ihe school
cafeteria, cafeteria workers and patrons
had noticed Michael Pimentel pacing the
hal/way just outside the cafeteria for up to
30 minutes. Upon Elisa's arrival, Michael
approached her at her lable and asked if
he could sit and talk with her. Elisa said
she didn't want 10 see him or talk to him.
Michael left through the main doors at a
couple of minules before 9:00 a.m.
What follows is an account by an
'eyewitness who was silting at Elisa's lable
when the killing occured. The eyewitness
chooses 10 remain anonymous.
As I walked into the cafeteria that morning, Mike [Pimentel} passed me on his
way out. I noticed he was nicely dressed
in a brown corduroy jacket and slacks with
a dark plaid shirt and red tie.
I glanced at my watch and saw it was
8:59 a.m. Looking up, I saw a friend of
mine who was sitt ing with Elisa. They both
asked me to join them al their table, which

I did.
Elisa looked up at me and said, "Oh
boy, anot her bodyguard. " I sat down and
my friend introduced us to each other. We
exchanged pleasantries and ·then I got up
to get some coffee. I saw my roommate
also getting coffee and we both rejoined
Elisa at her table.
As we sat down, she joked, "Now I have
three bodyguards." I didn't know what she
meant but we all laughed anyway.
We talked about school and classes and
things like that for about five minutes when
Elisa looked over my shoulder and said
lightheartedly, "Here he comes."

I glanced over my shoulder and saw
Mike about three feet away from the table.
He had a gun in his hands by then and was
just beginning to take aim with it.
Before anyone could move or say one
word, Mike began shooting .
Elisa screamed and fell out of her chair.
I Ihoughl he was firing blanks until I saw
Ihe corner of Elisa's chair was gone.
E li sa was on the floor and Mike moved
his position sligh tly to get a better aim. He
conlinued firing at Elisa until the clip was
empty.

Mike then walked up close to E li sa,
pointed the gun directly at her and pulled
the trigger. The gun just made a click noise
as no bullets were left in the clip or the
chamber.
Mike then looked at all of us at the table.
He stood there for a moment and looked
around the room.
His facial expression was like, "That'll
teach you . "
Mike then turned from the table with the
gun still in his hands and left by the doors
that lead outside.
A st udent ran out the door after him and
a few minules lat er brought back the gun
thai Michael h_ld ,pparently dropped.
A fireman who was having breakfast in
the cafeteria imm ediately began ad ministering CPR.
I moved t he table and chairs from
around Elisa to make the area clear and accessible for Ihe ambulance which someone
was ca ll i ng on t he phone.
I saw one wound in her leg and three in
Ihe ches l area.
II was evidenl he was after only Elisa
hecause of t he way he handled t hat big of
a gun.

Counseling Center offers support
The Counseling Center has announced
a major outreach effort to make contact
with students, faculty and staff who were
involved in anyway with the shooting eit her as witnesses, friends or in a ny other
connection.
Counselors Richard Rowan and Sherry
Smith will both be making as big an erfort
as possible to reach out to Ihe entire
Evergreen community. They encourage
everyone who needs to to come by the
Counseling Center or call )(6800.
The Counseling Center will be open as
usual. In addition, walk-in counseling is

Greenerspeak

avai lab le anytime during of rice hours (8
a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday).
This will be ongoing.
There will also be an open -door drop-in
Support Center in Mod 301 A (which is the
designated soCia l space) on Sat urday and
Sunday, 8 a.m. 10 midnight. Volunleers are
needed. The effo rt is being coordinated

through the Counsel in g Cenler.
Both Rowan and Smith are seeking input of any kind to help with the healing
process. Everyone is encouraged to make
contact with them. They will a lso be approaching people, when possible, just to
check and see that everyone is getting help
and suppo rt.

sensitivity in their contact with members
of the school. She added that several
reporters took time to call her when they
acquired pieces of new information they
felt she should have.
As some of the initial shock wore off
students and staff members began to
remember and discuss both their own feelings and their memories of Elisa.
Amber Shinn remembers Elisa as "an up
person. She had a great sense of humor."
Amber continued, "She was the type of
person a lot of people should have known .
She had so much to offer."
Toward the end of the day the emotional
exhaustion took its toll on many. Some
went home to sleep. Others took walks, or
gathered together in small groups unwilling or unable to let go. Instead, in subdued
tones they continued to talk.
About 30 people congregated at the Corner in "A" Dorm at 7 p.m. to discuss their
feelings and concerns. Housing Director
Ken Jacob, Chief of Security Gary Russell,
Larry Stenberg and counselors from the
Counse ling Cen ter made themselves
available to answer questions.
Some of the discussion focused on
El isa's alleged assailant Michael Pimentel
and a desire to try to understand what
motivates this kind of behavior which is
symptomatic of so many men in this
societ y .
Anger and resentment ran high in the
group. Larry Stenberg, who had to inform
Elisa's parents of her death, said he would
have to learn to have sympat hy for
Michael: "Rig ht now," he said, "all I feel
is anger."
It will take time for Evergreen to heal.
Nothing will be quite the same again. Last
Tuesday, we lost our innocence. It was torn
away from us the moment Elisa was.
"This was a random event," said
Patrick Hill, "that could have happened
anywhere . .. but t he reaction is what is so
important - the reaching out, the caring,
the compassion. Elisa can take the credit
for that."

Last year Indiana University experienced a measles outbreak that cost over
$250,000 to control. Over 50 percent of aI,
measles cases reported come from college
students. In an attempt to control possible epidemics many colleges are requiring

I would say talk to people that you
feel comfortable with, and on ly
people you feel comfortable with.
Say only what you fee l comfortable
saying to that person. Ask yourself
and others ques tions examining
every side of everything involved as many different things as you can
think of. Don't listen to anything
from anyone that you don't reel
comfortable li stening to. At least
until il has begun to subside in your
own mind. And, as tacky or
heartless as it may so und, try to be
optimistic and find, maybe not
good out of it, bul try to find some
way in your own mind that the

in your life. Most of a ll , don't sit
and talk about what you are gonna do or what you're able to do in
a situation, because you don't
know what you are capable of doing until you are put into that 'situation. don't be upset with yourself
for not handling yourself the way
other people think you should have

I think it's important to let yourse lf

Furthermore, th e U.S . forces went back

government helped install th e first Somoza
in 1933; a Somoza our government supported unflinchingly right up to the point

The Mexican revolution, hailed by the
Kissinger Commi ssion as I he one example
th ey cou ld find of a true indigenous revolution, the kind our governme nt would really accept. was at the time considered
Bolshevik. In fact, U.S. marines were sent
to Nicaragua to prevent Mexico from ex porting its revolution to Centra l America.
The Kissinger report and the State
Deparlment briefings fai l to connect the
"giving way" to military governments in
the late 1960's and 70's to the eSlablishment of a U.S. military assistance program
in 1951 to arm and train Latin American
armies.
U .S. specialists trained these military
men in international finance, industrial
management, trade, transportation, and
communication. Isn't it a odd for our State
Department to bemoan the fact that some
of these officers decided to actually use the
governmental skills they had been taught
over those years?
The Slate Department asserts they didn't
know the U.S. trained Latin American officers would use the techniques they learned quite so brutally. Yet as early as 1971 ,
a U .S. Sena te comm itt ee was told that
Brazillian officers were being taught censorship, check point systems, chemical and
biological operations, counter -g uerilla
operations, defoiliation, populace and
resource control, psychological operations,
special warfare, .surveillence, terror and
under cover operations.

Leo Grand points out in "The World
Policy Journal," when guerrillas in
Guatamala, Nicaragua, and EI Salvador
were developing into serious contenders for
power during the mid 1970's, the Cubans
were not engaged in Cen tra l America. The
report ignores all thi s.
In skipping over ten years of history, th e
Kissinger report intentionally excludes the
fact that the Central American revolutionary movement developed without the
aid of Cuba or anyone else.
It's true that when the revolutionaries
got big enough to fund the purchase of
arms, they were able to turn to Cuba and
the Soviet Union, though an undersecretary of defense estimates that up to
50 percent of the guerrillas' arms are actually captured U.S. arms they got from
raids on the military .
Any revolutionary movement will buy
arms from whoever it will, and if the U.S.
was not cons istent ly on the wrong side,
they would not turn to Cuba and the Soviet
Union for aid.
The Kissinger report gives four reasons
why the revolutionary movement in Central America must be treated as foreign
rather than indigenous: I). They have
foreign ideology, Marxism.
2). They have received aid from Cuba and
the Soviet Union.
3). They must be foreign because oppression only creates anguish, not rebellion.
4). They are able to survive for such a protracted time despite all the repression they
have endured.
By anyone of those reasons the
American revolution should have been
branded a foreign revolt. Its ideology came
from enlightenment Europe, the French

Costigan and
Cox debate for
evening crowd
By Margaret Gribskuv
A lively crowd of approxima tely 300
people filled Olympia's First Chr istian
Church on Wednesday even in g, April II,
to hear severa l speak ers co ndemn U.S.
foreign policy in Latin America while one
lone represe ntative of th e U.S. State
Department defended American activities
in t he region. The crowd clapped politel y
for David W . Cox, Director. Office 0:'
Regional Politica l Programs , and Deputy
Director of the Bureau of Inter-American
Affairs, U.S. Department of Statc, but did
not display enth us iasm for hi s statements.
By con tras t, speake rs Giovanni Costigan,
Emeri tu s Professor of History, University of Washinglon; the Rev. Donovan
Cook, Pastor, University Baptist C hurch ,
Seall le; and Co llelle Cra ig, Mayan lingu ist
on the faculty of the University of Oregon,
all received vigorous applause for their in dividual speec hes and a partial standing
ovation at the end of the evening.
In the question period following the
presentalions, members of the audience
pleaded for suggesti ons, asking, "What
can we do to help? " Costiga n urged his·
li steners to suppo rt liberal magazines which
are criticall y reporting on the U.S. activities
in Latin America, such as The Nation and
Mother Jones. Cook, who was an official
observer for the Salvadoran election,
recommended that persons who oppose
America' s Latin American policies write
!cllers to the Seall ie Times and PostIntelligencer commending the detailed
coverage both papers have provided of
both past and present problems in the
region. A reporter for one of the two
papers, Cook said, is under heavy pressure
from higher-ups for his articles about Latin
America, and Cook urged members of the
audience to write "this week."
Earlie r, the Bapl ist minister, leader of
the church sanctuary program in
Washington state, asked how many church
mem bers were present whose own ch urehes
have not inaugurated a sanctuary program .
"Where is your sanctuary?" Cook
demanded. He said 127 American churches
now take in and shelter Latin American
refugees.
Although the audience included many
Evergreen st udent s and a sprink ling of college faculty and staff, most of the aud ience
appeared to be residents of the Olympia
community . Many were middle-aged or
older. They treated Cox, the State Department representative , in a generally friend ly fashion, although one heckler had to be
silenced from the podium. But the listeners
made it clear they did not accept Cox's
defense of U.S. policy and of the Kissinger
Commission, which other speakers had
criticized.

thing the administration wants to do, or
the American people want to see, is the introduction of U.S. troops into combat in
Central America.
CP J: Have the latest developments killed
any chance for the Senate approved $21
million emergency appropriation to assist
C.I.A. trained rebels in Nicaragua?
Cox: Certainly it's going to hurt. The
Senate passed this along with the $62
million emergency military assistance appropriation bill for EI Salvador last week
after about 10 days of debate. There was
already a lot of opposition in the House
to this and I imagine it ha.s probably increased a lot now. Congress will come back
either Monday or Tuesday after Easter, so
I guess it has at least temporarily made it
very difficult to pass this week. What will
happen after the recess is hard to tell.
CP J: Why didn't the C.I.A notify congressional oversight co mmittees before beginning the mining operation?
Cox : [There is] some difference of opinion
as to who was notified .... The intelligence

wrong there and felt strongly enough about
it to take up arms. There are variqJ.Is
sources of aid to the Contras. They may
have different objectives than what we do.
The seci'efary has said the various types of
pressures being exerted on the Sandinista
government will, over time, make them
more amenable to reaching a compre hen sible solution ....
CP J: Why is there continuing U.S. support
for the Contnis whom even anti-Sandinista
governments refuse to support?
Cox: In the immediate area, Honduras and
Costa Rica, there is support. They're
operating out of those twO countries.
CP J: But Cos ta Rica is a neutral count ry.
Cox: Their declared policy is one of
neutrality but at the same time, they're one
of the twO countries the Contras have been
operating from. They hav e no illusions
ahout the threat Nicaragua poses 10 the

Interview wilit David Cox, StGle Department, Deputy Director, Office of Regional
Political Progranls, Bureau q( InterA meric{Jn Affairs - 4/ 11 / 84.
CP J: Why did the State Dept, choose 10
speak at Evergreen from among all the
Washington state colleges and universities?
Cox : I really don't know if there were any
ot her requests for speakers. We have a
bureau of public affa irs back there. They
get requests in from al l over th e count ry.
They have volunteers from that depart ment, various officers, for when the y
speak. So I don't know how I was scheduled or if there were competing demands or
whether this was the only one. We certainly
try to fill all the speaking request s we can .
CP J: Is the State Dept. conducting other
community workshops on Latin American
affairs?
Cox: Workshops like thi s, or in o ther
form s, or any public affairs engagement is
to explai n the adm ini stration's policy; in
t hi s
case
Ce ntral
American
policy .... Basically we're expected to, and
rightly so, make it clear when we g ive
somelhing that's personal op inion;
espec ially when it differs from [the) administration' s [policy].
CP J: Does the State Dept. view the recent
mining of Nicaraguan ports as a "holding
action" against Nicaraguan support for the
guerrillas in EI Salvador?
Cox: ... It certainly was designed as one of
a series of measures to dissuade the
Nicaraguans from their activities in Central America: particularly the shipping of
material support for the guer rillas in EI
Salvador.
CPJ: How is the material being transported
to the rebels?
Cox : It is done a number of ways: by sea,
overland by vehicles, and apparently increas ing ly by ai r.
CP J: Whal speci fie and signi ficant political
and diplomatic risks does the. Nicaraguan
port mining present to the current
adm inistration?
Cox: It's evident, because of having to veto
the resolution of the security cou ncil and
having to withdraw the case of our Central American activities for two years of the
recognition of the jurisdiction before it,
there arc obvious political and diplomatic
risks. People much higher than I had to
weigh those in initially deciding upon those
actions.
CP.I: Yes, but what specific risks?
Cox: We've taken a lot of criticism . We
tried to explain the other factors included
in making these decisions but this is not
easy. Certainly nobody would claim his
[Reagan's) politics are risk free.
CP J: Is the Nicaraguan POrl mining merely
an inexpensive alternative to substantial increases for U.S. supported troops [the
Contrasl or to the introduction of U.S.
troops?
Cox: Certainly from what the press says,
and I must emphasize that in terms of any
intelligence related activity alleged to be going on on behalf of the C.I.A., my job in
the-State Dept. is not privvy to this information. So I'm giving you my impression
of what I read in the press and what the
spokesmen are saying in regard to that and
what we say in open testimony in response
to the administration'S response on the hill
for 21 million dollars . So certainly the last

of what's going on.
C P J: Do you agree wit h Sen Kennedy' s
assesment: "Th is admi ni strat io n is bringing us closer and doser to war in Central
America.?"
Cox: There's already a war going on.
[There ha s been ] Civil War in E I Salvador
for 5 years a nd of course Ihere's the war
the Co ntras are carrying out aga in st
Nicaragua'. I don't agree it's bringing us
closer to involving U.S. combat troops in
the effor l. ...
CP J : Why has the State Dept. refused to
comment ol'ficially on th e harbor minings
and the World Court statement made by
the Reagan administration?
Cox: We ce rtainl y have cOlllmented on the
World Court decision. Normally, as a matter of policy, the State Dept. spokesman
doesn't comment pro or con on activities
of the C.I.A. On the World Court maller,
there was extens ive dialogue between the
Statc Depl. spokesman and reporters. The
spokesman indicated that we took that
limited action in a mailer to the press. That
was the rationale .
CPJ: Is there any validity to the report that
a cont ingency plan has been drawn up to
send U.S. troops to Cent ral America?
Cox: I'm certainly not aware of any and
certain ly it's not the intention of the administration to have to or want to send in
U.S. troops. It has never been absolutely
ruled out flatly. It's hard to say what contingency plans might arise.
CPJ: Miquel D'Escoto Brockman
(Nicargua's foreign minister) claims that
the administration's withdrawal from the
International Court of Justice is because
the administration is practicing "state terrorism" against the Sandinista government. Is this accurate?
Cox: We have not acknowledged thaI. We
can test the proposition that says we
withdrew our consent to a jurisdiction to
Central American issues for two years
because we're admitting state terrorism.
We don't agree with that and at the same
time we point out that Nicaragua through
its actions has inflicted great harm on the
Salvadorian economy through its aid to the
guerrilla infra-structure. Estimates are
anywhere from 6-800 million dollars over
the course of the war. We certainly loo k
for a comprehensible peace settlement in
the region and continue to advocate thaI.
CP J: By using the Contras?
Cox : No. The contras are after all
Nicaraguan and not only ex-National
Guardsmen but democrats, especially from
our day in the south. People like Rubello
and others who have good democratic
credentials. They

think thaI's the main reason we don't want
to see the area become Marxisl.

CP J: What is the main reason?
Cox: A combination of factors: The proxim ity of the area 10 the U.S . , the nearness
of those areas to key shipping lanes and
lanes of commmunication and to the gulf
ports . We don't want to see an expansion
of a Cuban type model of system into our
continent.
CPJ: Hasn't the continued U.S. support
of the COritras pushed the inexperienced
Nicaraguan militia to look to Cubantrained counterinsurgency units as a means
for defense?
.
Cox: That process [lea nin g 10 the left] was
well under way by 1979. Certain ly the
Ca rter administration tried the other approach without tOO much success in terms
of the direction they [Ni caragua) were going toward a Sandinista monopoly control
o f society: a failure to carry out elections,
bringing in the Soviet and Cuban advisors,
arms , tank s. Their large build-up is see n
by Honduras as being threaten ing .
CPJ: You don't think U.S. activity pus hed them to seek Cuban and Soviet
assistance?
Cox: The degree of the build -up is out of
proportion to what they had to fea r from
t heir neighbors or from the U .S. They had
no reason to anticipate a U.S. conventional
allack .
CPJ: You don't see any hypocr isy in th e
paral lel s between th e pl ea for a World
Court hea ring of t he Iranian hoslage crisis
a nd the denial for the Ni.:araguan plea for
a World Co url hearing by thi s
administration?
Cox: ... It was .. . felt that in a COLIrt proceeding, wit h the way th e C.I.A . operates
and the ground rules thai are laid out for
it. and what ca n be said about it [the
C.I.A.], it creates a diffi cult situation. A
lot of pluses and minuses . Risk s . It is n't
an easy decision. In fact a Nicaraguan attorney happens to be an ex- legal advisor
10 the State Dept. One of the allorne y's

Gallery4 exhibits video and transformation kits
By Dean Batali

"lower class" garment, it (the less expen sive one) becomes more appealing.

Two Evergreen faculty members share
Gallery Four this month and through May
6 as they display their video art and anthropological artifacts. Sally Cloninger
created video and audio tapes that partly
recreate a spiritual journey, and Lynn Patterson has supplied half of the Gallery with
pieces that hint at and invite
transformation .
Curious observers filled Gallery Four on
Saturday, April 14, at 8:00 p.m. during a
reception that opened the exhibit. In one
of the two rooms, Cloninger's video works
awaited their premieres. In the other, Patterson's collection initiated il1}mediate
involvement.
Patterson calls her exhibit Tramsfor-

mative Ventures with Friends and Loved
Ones. Included are what Patterson calls
"tra nsformation kits." She describes these
as being "a combination of a travelling
stage trunk and a shaman's kit. With them
you are able to venture away from
yourse lf. " Her works demand (or at leas t
insist that one considers the possibility) that
we become, for a moment, something
other that o urselves.
Some of these kit s must only be observed, not expe rienced. Still, their statement
is effec tive. A less expensive jacket lays
next to a more fancy counterpart, but
because of the careful additions to the

Another case displays various hair
samples that could, if we allowed them to,
change us completely. As examples, the
walls of the Gallery are covered with
photos (taken with an instamatic camera)
of women who seem to be caught in some
sort of transformation. We're forced to
wonder if we are, too.
Many of Patterson 's creations require
our participation . Life-size paper doll
costumes call for our faces above them. A
dresser with a drawer full of wigs sits near
a decorated mirror and asks us to experiment as a different person. And we receive
an invitation to sit for a moment in fine,
pure white wicker chairs . These are
transformative ventures, and we are the
friends and loved ones.
Also displayed with Patterson's art are
selections from the albums of explorer
Agnes Sorrel. A replica of Sorrel's plane
hangs overhead, and her exa mples are included, explai ns Paller son , because Sorrel
is a "transformative character. She lives in
the pa st, but some how also exists in the
present. "
Sally Cloninger' s installa tion, entitled
Jalan lalan Ke Rumah Saya, is made up
of "totally new pieces created spec ifica lly
for this space and time. The basic theme,"
Cloninger says, "is spiritual journey."
£
Her exhibit centers around two video

artworks. One, titled Puja, is a continuous,
one camera view of a type of morning
prayer. A spiritual sits on a mat over a
shallow basket and performs deliberate
rituals with fire, beads, and paper . Some
of the objects he uses are tossed upon the
mat, and the final scene - traces of ash,
randomly thrown beads, basket, and all is effectively recreated as a setting for the
video screen.
The other video is the major work of the
two and much more difficult to describe.
Called Going to my House, Cloninger
describes it as "an attempt to visualize a
journey of the spirit. " Through video images and chosen music, she shares with us
a journey she experienced with the help of
a Bomoh, a Malaysian spiritual.

It is probably best not to try to give an
account of this adventure that includes
Malaysian street scenes, praying groups doing what seem to be choreographed dance
moves to jazz tunes that swing from the
audio, and the inside of a refrigerator. The

Along with Keith Jarrett and George
Winston, Coss u is recognized as a prime
mover in the New Age "jazz" genre. As
one critic writes, Cossu creates "music that
is contemplative, even meditative or

spiritual , and very often possessed of a truIy rare beauty." His concerts include
everything from beautifully melodic jazz
piano pieces to ancient Thai a nd Chinese
courting tunes played on indigenous in struments, and a boogie-blues tribute to hi s
grandparents about a humorous Mediteranean speedboat chase.
Tickets for the evening concert are
ava ilable at Rainy Day Record s, Crackers
and the Evergreen Bookstore and cost $4
for students and senior citizens and $5
general. Tickets will also be sold at the
door on the evening of the performance.

Stroliing along the beach of humanity. The sands of this sil very beach

admiring its beauty, knowing I'll never see all of it, unless I shatler Its whole,
and its beauty. I picture you, walking along your beach of humaTllty With
the surf of life thundering in you ears, bending down, and holding a pebble me While you imagine me on my beach, holding you . How I Wish
we 'could walk toge ther, talk together, and be together. But I know that
can never happen , so contented with that knowledge and warmed by your
beauty, I leave you to be, just as you leave me to be, whIle we p ick up
and enjoy other pebbles . Each pebble is as beaut tfu l a s the ot hers. Each
is unique and each is alone. Our uniqueness iso lates us, an Ine sc apable
bond. The surf wi ll wash against the beach, long after I've e rod e d to sa nd.

Pianist Scott Cossu brings
talents to Evergreen
Scott Coss u, reviewed as "one of the
jazz luminaries of the future," will perform
an evening concert at 8 p.m., April 20, in
the Recital Hall of the Communicaions
Building at The Evergreen State College.
The Seattle pianist, who received his formal musical training at The University of
Washington, has ac hieved national prominence with the release of his la tes t
album, "Wind Dance."

images vary, and this is indeed a journey.
The destination and purpose, however, are
unclear.
Throughout most of Going to my House
I wondered what and why things were happening. Cloninger carefully recreated her
experience, and from that standpoint none
of us can call her successful or not. As a
viewer outside of her mind, I found it difficult to share in her excitement.
I should mention, though, that the
crowd at the first showing gave appreciative (not just polite) applause. Cloninger, in offering herself, has given us the
opportunity to appreciate, decipher,
disagree with, or dislike her experience.
What intrigues us about Cloninger's
work must also intrigue us about ourselves
as we venture through Patterson's work .
The responses, whatever their nature, must
be accepted and acted upon .
Gallery Four is open Monday through
Friday from noon to 6 p.m. and Saturday
and Sunday from I to 5 p . m. For more information call 866-6000 X6075.

Booters win another one

The Evergreen's Men's club soccer team
(SWASA Division \) won another game
this weekend lifting their record to 3-1 . The
first goal was scored by John Purteman.
Purteman dribbled inside the goal box ,
putting in a close range shot leaving the
goalie little opportunity to stop the shot.

Frisbees to fly at disc festival
By Gary Burris
This weekend you can come and enjoy
t he Evergreen Flying Fr isbee Disc Festival
here on campus on the soccer field. Along
with the competition , two and four legged
catchers will demonstrate th eir ski lls and
The Young Pioneers will play an outdoor
concert for your listening enjoyment.
T he Fr isbee Festival will be the first
qualifying tournament for the World
Champion ships ever held in Olympia. The
event is being organized by Evergreen
junior Todd Denny, a Canadian frisbee national champinn, with the support of the
Evergreen Recreation Center. Helping
Denny m ake this event possible is Ron
Skronovic , Evergreen Alumni, who has
done most of t he graphic arts work . Denny is inviting the best in the Pacific Nor thwest to entcr this co mpetition or put on
demonstrat ions . This competition is sa nctioned as an official qualifying event for
the World Tournament to be held in Santa Cruz, August 7-11.
Denny has o rgani zed the tournament into two divisions: the open division fo r
those disc players with previous frisbee
tournament expe rien ce who want to compete with the opportu nit y to qualify for nationals and; the novice division for competit ors who want to compete with others
of their own ski ll leve l. This is designed
espec ially for Evergreen student s and community memberts. Awards will be
di stributed equa ll y among the two
categories. Prizes include di nner for two
at Joe Mama 's , The Rainbow, The Spa r,
Urban Onion, and Mexico Bonito; a full
body massage at Radiance; use of hot tubs
at Town Tubs; a gift certificate from Rainy
Day Records; three dinners for two at The
Corne r; and a framed pen and ink drawing from Thompson's Gallery for the first
place winner in the Freestyle compe titi on.
The entry fee for the two day event is
$4 or $10 with a T -shirt from Dice T-shirts
included. The entry fee allows you to compete in up to four events. Spectators are
welcome to come and watch the competition, demonstrations and concert free of
charge. There will also be a fun event called the opposite arm throw where everyone
will be allowed to compete.
The competition itself include s four
events: Distance, MTA, Disc Golf and
Freestyle. Distance is quite simply throwing the disc as far as possible in a straight
lin e . Both the backhand a nd the side-arm
are popular deliveries. The women's world
record is 283.5 feet and the men's world
record is 444 feet in this event.
In the Maximum Time Aloft (MTAJ
event, the thrower ' tries to throw a
"boomerang" type flight into the a ir and
catch the disc on the return flight. The disc
thrower keeping the disc in the a ir for the
longest period of time is the winner. The
men's wor ld record in this event is 15 . 2
seconds and the women's record is 10.02
seco nds.
Disc Golf is a game simi liar 10 regular
go lf. The catch is, instead of playing with
clubs and a ball shooting for a hole, players
use fri sbees and shoot at trees or other objects. An 18 hole course has been set up
around the Evergreen campus . The length
of the holes ranges from about 100 to 300
yards. You may have ~een students around
campus throwing frisbees at trees and garbage cans and wondered, "What are these

people doing?" Well, they are avid participants in the sport of Disc Golf. You can
bet many of th ese students will be tossing
in the tournament.
The final event is freestyle. Persons
usually co mpet e in team s of two. The be tter team s have choreographed routines
worked out up to five minutes in len gth.
There are many national and international stars coming to this event. Rob
Freeham, Tacoma, is the former Junior
World C hampion and is strong in the
Distance and MTA events. Don Fogle and
Dan Sampson are ranked 6th in the world
and are Washington State Champions in
Freestyle. I've been told they are real hot.
Also Ralph Williamson, Seattle, former
Senior Freestyle World Champion will
participate.
There are also three na tiona l and internationally known Evergreen students from
Canada participating. Randy Silvey is the
current Canad ian National C hampion . He
won the all around title by getting a fir st
and seco nd in two of the four eve nts, Disc
Golf and Freestyle. Randy is also the
former World Champion,' 1981, in another
event that will not be seen this weekend,
Kosmic Katastrophe. [n KK, as it is co mmonly called, two participants in
ring
each spin a fri sbee on both hands. The obj ect is to knock the discs out of your opponent 's hand wit hout st opping your discs
from spinning. That's quiLe a difficult fe at.
Randy Silvey ha s a lso been Washingron
State C ha mpion in various events.
Brian Silvey, Randy's brother, is a lso a
great di sc player. Brian was th e Canad ian
National Disc Golf champion in 198 1.
Brian is th e odds on favorite to win the
Disc Golf eve nt this weekend but he will
have a lot of competition .
Finally, Todd Denny, organizer, will be
compe tin!j' Denny played frisbee as a kid
just like yo u and me but in 1976 he reall y
got serious about it. He began what he calls

a

"progressive" frisbee playing, devoting an
average of five hours a day in the summers
to the sport. For beginners, Denny gives
the advice, "The first thing you have to
learn is the nail delay. [t takes about two
weeks to learn . This is the beginning of any
Freestyle routine ." The nail delay is spinning a fri sbee on your finger nail. It 's not
as easy as it looks.
Denny' s first big competition was in
Santa Barbara in 1978. Todd has competed
in all four of the events but has mainly concentrated on freestyle and MTA. He has
competed in 20-30 large competitions as
well as numerous local tournaments. Todd
capped off all his practice by winning the
Canadian National Championship for
MTA in 1982 .
On Saturday after the preliminary co mpetition, dinner will be provided in the Corner for participants. Food is being donated
by Market Foods, Safeway. and Peterson's
Food Mart. Saturday's events will be
videotaped by Peter Moulton, Olympia
Media Exchange, and shown during the
meal.
Things get under way at 9 a.m. Saturday a nd go until 4 p.m. Competition
res ume s at 9:30 a.m. Sunday and ends at
4 p .m.

7th not heaven
for TESC
sailors
TESC sailors competed at the Western
Washington University Invitational Regatta this past weekend (April 14-15) under
sunny skies Saturday and a rain storm Sunday. Ten teams from Canada, Washington
and Oregon were present, with the
Geoduck's placing 7th in th e overall
competition.
Ra lph Naess and Pete Finley fought hard
under stiff A-fleet competition, with Barb
Gimlin and Sandy Campbell representing
B-fleet. Allison Ames participated as alternate for both fleet s.
B-fleet placed a consistent average of 4th
place, putting in a good s how for
Evergreen and causing some heads to turn
in th e predominantly male arena from our
all-women fleet.
This weekend the women sailors will
travel to the University of Oregon to compete in Women's Districts . The winner of
this co mpetition will qualify to compete in
Women's Nationals which will be held later
this spring in Chicago.
