The legislature has proposed significant
increases for tuition at Evergreen. The recent
big tuition increase scare was started by a
memo circulated on March 21 stating that
next year there was going to be a 28 percent
increase in tuition .
College President Jane Jervis held a
forum on Red Square at noon. March 29 to
answer questions about the proposed House
budget. At th is forum the president quelled
fears and explained details of the Senate bill
- which the administration prefers.
Jervis also spoke of the administration's
projection of the legislative process which it
is hoped will resolve into a compromise
budget favorable to Evergreen.
Hquse Bill 1909. the legislative power
behind the budget was introduced on Feb. 14.
The Senate budget bill. 5411, was introduced
Jan, 23.
According to College Budget Officer
Steve Trotter. in the fine print of House Bill
1909 and in the House budget. Evergreen is
singled out in computations used for
determining tuition. Tuition at Evergreen is
currently based on the same percentage ofcost
of education as at all the regional universities
combined and averaged. Evergreen has a
higher cost per student for education. thus if
Evergreeners pay the same percentage of their
cost of education. based on cost of education
at Evergreen. they end up paying more. Senate
Bill 5411 keeps the old method of averaging
costs between institutions as a group.
All the bills and budgets are introduced
with language that sounds favorable to
education. The House bill 1909 speaks of a
decline in the percentage ofthe state's budget
devoted to education from 21 percent in the
1970s to 10.5 percent presently.
The House Budget also says that
Washington ranks second to last in the
percentage of "c itizens who have an
opportunity to attend a public baccalaureate
college or institution." Then the bill 's
introduction ends with ominous warnings
about not providing a proper education for
this state's students.
This is an odd introduction for the house
budget because its clauses and provisions then
proceed to defund education and set up tuition
wars between the institutions of higher
education in this state, The house bill transfers
cost ofeducation onto those least able to afford
it, and least lik;?ly to vote. the young college
students of this and other states.
According to the State of Washington's
Public Access Gopher (a service accesable
through the Internet) the House bill is
sponsored by Don Carlson, chairman of the
House Higher Education Committee, a
Republican from district 49, Ken]acobsen the
former Democratic chair of the Higher
Education committee from the 46th, Gene

Increases will cause some
students to leave Evergreen
by Ariel Burnett
CPJ Staff Writer
As the state legislature argues
over how much to increase tuition
for Evergreen next yea r, many
students find themselves holding
their breath,
In the Senate, the proposed
tuition increase is 4.3 percent for
fall 1995, and a 5.3 percent increase
for fall 1996. This would be an
equal. across-the-board hike for all
in-state schools,
In the House, a more extreme
plan has been announced. The
increase would amount to 22-28
percent, far more than the other
four-year public universities.
There is little doubt across
campus that the latter proposal
especially would cause hardship for
students.
"It's going to put me in the
Internal
Seepage
hole I'm broke as it is,"said first-year
student Eva Robinson, "Everybody's
going to starve. If you think the
woods are full of people now, wait
until next year. I'll be pitching my
tent right along with them." She
foresees longer work hours and more
difficulty paying her living expenses
as a result of the raise,
Some students see the tuition
hike as the financial last straw, and
have found themselves in the
position of having to leave.
"[t's forcing me to go to an instate school in my home state. I've
been forced out of Evergreen . I'm
very upset about it because I love this
school, but I can't afford it
anymore,"said EricJackson, another
student.
For others, the increased tuition costs will result in uncomfortable family situation~. Shawna Rae

Mason, D-37. David Mastin, D-16, Jerome
Delvin , R-8, and Jerry Blanton, R-21. [t is
notable that three of the bill's sponsors are
Democ·rats.
The House bill singles Evergreen out for
a 28 percent increase in tuition next year, with
none of the increase going to the school's
budget. For other state schools the Bill
proposes a 10 percent increase with five
percent of this increase appropriated to the
schools' budget.
Rep. Carlson said that the increase was
due to the fact that Evergreen is currently 28
percent less expensive than school s in its
category, and that was the chief reason for the
proposed increase,
When questioned as to why then this
reasoning did not also apply to the university
of Washington. which is 15 percent less

worried about
telling her parents about the
higher price of
her college education,
"My parents give me a lot of
trouble about going to college and
spending their money. College isn't
a high priority for them. The more
it costs, the more trouble they'll give
me," she said.
The school administration is
aware of students' concerns and also
shares them. Arnaldo Rodriguez,
Dean of Enrollment Services, has his
fingers crossed as he waits for the
final decision from the legiSlature.
"My guess is, they'll be haggling till
May," he said.
Rodriguez is especially
worried about how the in~reases
would affect enrullment and the
diversity of the student body.
"If the House budget is the one

that is approved it will affect

particularly th e poorest students.
Five hundred dollars a year is a
sizable increase.
"I think it's too early to tell
whether or not students who can pay
will choose Evergreen, Other in -state
schools will cost nearly 20 percent
less. In a sense, what is being done is
penalizing the students for choosing
to come to Evergreen,"
Another aspect that worries
Rodriguez is the strength of
Evergreen's financial aid. He said that
it certainly won't come from the
federal level, and it is unclear how
much of the raise can be put back
into aid.
"That 's the question (hat we're

not able to put th e money into

here? We know that less minority
and fewer disadvan'aged students
will be able to come here."
Rodriguez sa id his hope is ~hat
the senate proposal will be approved
instead. He also said he hope s
students who are residents of the
sta te will call their legislators and
complain.
"If st udents and their parents'
don't voice their opinions. then the
legislature won't hear that what
they're proposing is not desirable,"
said Rodriguez, . .

Washington State colleges'
budgets aren't the only things on the
State Legislature's chopping block.
The Department of Corrections,
Washington's prison system, is also
facing cuts that could eliminate
"offender privileges" like education.
Washington's prisons are currently 34 percent
overcrowded and
growing because of
the "War on Drugs"
and tougher sentencing laws. Legislation like "Three
Strikes You're Out,"
and the "Hard Time
for Armed Crime"
initiative pending
in the legislature
could also cause an
increase in prison
populations.
Cindi Yates, who is a budget
office supervisor for the Department
of Corrections (DOC) says that
during the '70s and '80s Washington
had one of the most violent prison
systems in the country; riots and the
murder of staff were much more
common. However, Yates says
Washington's prisons are less violent
than other states' today because of
positive activities that offenders are
allowed to be involved in. Activities,
often called "offender privileges,"
like education programs and health
care.
The Governor, the House and
the Senate all have different budget
proposals that call for cuts in the
DOC's budget. The House and
Senate proposals are most drastic.
For instance the Senate proposal will
cut funding for "community
corrections" commonly known as
parole.
The House budget would
eliminate the sex offender treatment
program and a mental health pilot
program at Washington's McNeal
I~land prison. The Senate would cut
recreational program funding by 25
percent and the House would cut the
program by 82 percent.
The proposed budget cuts are
coming at a time when Washington's
prisons are becoming more
crowded. The states prisons are
currently 34 percent over their
capacity.
According to projections, the
inmate population
in 1996 may be
twice what it was in
1986. As of the end
of February 1995,
there were 11,036
people in Washing- .
ton State prisons
and in June 30,
1986 there were
6,785. Over the
next two years the
DOC expects its
prison population
to increase by 1,100; if Initiative 159,
the "Hard Time for Armed Crime
Initiative," is enacted it could increase the inmate population by an
additional 600 inmates.
None of these numbers include
prisoners who are being held in
county jails. 1-159 known as the
"Hard Time for Armed Crime
Initiative" would make sentencing
for violent criminals more severe.
Prison overcrowding in
Washington over the last ten years is
primarily du e to the Sentencing
Reform Act, which increased
inmates' terms and limited parole,
and the "War on Drugs." One-fourth
of all offenders in Washington
prisons are imprisoned for drug
charges.
The new "Three Strikes You're
Out" law hasn't had an impact on the
Washington prison population yet
because so far only 18 offenders have
been sentenced to life in prison
under the law. But, according to a
DOC briefing paper, there are 4,300
people with two strikes; about half
of them currently in prison. •

Decisions are pending for Initiative 164,
the Private Property Regulatory Fairness Act,
commonly called the "Takings" or simply
"Private Property" Act, which came before the
Senate Hearing Committee on Thursday last
week.
The hearing lasted almost three hours.
With help from Evergreen students,
supporters of the initiative were outnumbered
by those who opposed it. In response to the
hearing and the number of citizens who
turned out, Chairwoman Mary Margaret
Haugen replied that serious consideration of
1-164 was needed before making a
determination.
If the Senate Hearing Committee votes
against the initiative, it will be sent to the polls
to be voted on in the general election in
November. Ifit is passed by the committee, it
would go to the Senate floor where it would
likely then be passed into law. However, the
initiative can be sent to the polls ifopponents
can collect 90,000 signatures within 90 days.
The controversial "takings" act is being
advertised as a means to "protect mom and
pop property investments from Government
takings." However timber companies and
land developers paid $246,923 for the
signatures. Big businesses get the benefits from
the removal of governmental regulation s
which curb their activities.
Representatives from timber companies
claimed their right to clear cut their property
had been denied because of environmental
regulations such as the protect ion of spotted
owl habitat under the Endangered Species Act .
When questioned as to whether 1-164
would override Federal laws such as th e
Endangered
Species
Act,
timber
representatives felt that according to the 1-164,
any governmental entity enforcing regulations
which pose a restraint on land use should give
full compensation for the reduction in value
to the owner, or the use of the land by th e
owner should not be restricted because of the
regulation or restraint.
According to a Senate Bill report, "Private
property includes land, any interest in land,
any proprietary water rights, and any crops,
forest products, or resources capable of being
harvested or extracted." However a definition
of private property is not included in the actual
initiative.
The Washington Bar Association broke
its tradition of not publicly opposing proposed
legislation for the first time by claiming that 1164 is incompatible with existing laws. and if
passed, governments would be caught between

Put your philosophies to

Geo-Con •• Evergreen's biggest
convention draws crowds and role playing
by Reynor Padilla
CPJ Wrirer
Geo-Con, a science
fiction, fantasy and ruleplaying fan convention
was held on the Evergreen
Ca mpu s the weekend of
March 31 to April 2.
The convention, which
offered low-priced roleplaying
fun to members of the Evergreen and Olympia community,
was considered a success by
Gaming Guild Coordinator Rob
Taylor. "Everybody who came to
our convention is coming back
next year," said Taylor.
The convention is also regular
draw for out-of-state gamers. People
came from as far away as Minnesota
and California to attend Geo-Con.
But Geo-Con isn 't just about roleplaying. Therewere dances, movies, and
panels by local celebrities. "We had a very
positive response to the movies," said
Todd Clark, a Gaming Guild volunteer
staff member.
There were three lecture halls open to show
movies, one for Anime and two for other movies. Each
lecture hall had over 48 hours of programming running
simultaneously. All movies were provided by Evergreen
Students for Anime, as well as students Gregor
Menasian and John Ford.
Dances were held Friday and Saturday nights ,
both with a mixture of New Wave and Rock music, with
less of an emphasis on Industrial and Techno. "We
didn't play, like, ten Ministry songs," said Clark,

The first part of this column contains
general ruminations on some questions
important to me right now, If you're looking
for a "what's up?" update, skip about half-way
down.
I'm told that one defining characteristic
of Evergreen spring quarter is anarchy. The
theory goes that students spend all oftheirfaU
and winter focusing on
the intellect, nurturing
theoretical viewpoints.
By spring, they are
ready to test their
philosophies through
practical application in
the real world (if such a
thing can be said to exist
on this campus),
Indeed, much of the curriculum is designed
this way.
If this is true in the purely academic
sense, then external events this year in
particular are acting to exacerbate the trend,
Already, the signs of heightened public
dialogue are beginning to appear,
Events on the national level like the swift
passage of The Contract "On" America, the
state level like funding implications for
Evergreen, and pending decisions internal to
the school like the Services and Activities Board
allocations to the Rec, Center - all of these
contain issues which will have significant
impacts on students' lives,
You've heard it all before, but we're
looking at paying much higher tuition for fewer
services, or smaller student aid packages, to go
to a school where students have even less
personal liberty and less control in arenas like
S&A than they do right now,
To what extent will students engage in
that public dialogue and do something about
this? How willthey do so?
and Evergreen faculty member
Tom Maddox was scheduled to
speak but missed the convention
due to illness.
The Society for Creative
Anachronism (SCA) held an
archery practice and demo
out on the library field.
Gaming Guild coordinator
and Geo-Con director Rob
Taylor finds organizing
conventions extremely rewarding, "It's incredibly
good to know that 350
people are having a really good time because
of the labor you put
into something," said
Taylor.
"Geo-Con is an
event that's made to
have fun," said Taylor "That's actually part of our college mission statement is to
help people have fun."
.
The Gaming Guild sometimes finds a certain
amount of conflict role-playing in the Evergreen
environment. "A lot of the Evergreen students are a little
unfamiliar with it," says Taylor, "(For) ... some of the
people that you might colloquially describe as say,
hippies, role-playing just isn 't their thing."
"But then again," maintains Clark, "you could say
the same thing about students at the University of
Washington."
"You don't see a lot of people over at the frats
[involved with role-playingJ." says Clark.

Changes are on the horizon
for this year's graduation
• • • Graduation 1995
by Carson Strege-Flora
CPJ Assr. Managing Ediror
TESC students will no longer walk
nervously dow n th e g raduation aisle and
accept a diploma that they aren't sure they
deserve. The 1995 Commencement Ceremony
has been pushed to after evaluations week so
students will know if they actually received the
180 credits needed to graduate.
Previously, graduation ceremonies were
held on the Friday before evaluation week.
Now, graduation will be held onJune 9, at 1:00
pm followed by Super Saturday, the one-day
festival that showcases music, art and food.
The change means that students will no
lon ger graduate before they receive their
evaluations that give them final credit. Also,
fac ulty will be freed up to participate in
comme ncement activities. Before, their
obl igations during evaluation week prevented
some of their participation.
It offers anot her advantage for the
Gruunds and Maintenance crews and
Custodial staff. In yea rs prior, the staff was kept
extremely busy trying to clean up after Super
Saturday to clean the area for graduation
activities.
Now , Super
Saturday cleaning can be done
during daylight hours and at a
less fran tic pace.
The change comes due to

Some obstacles: There is no student
government here. We have no formal and
autonomous structure through which to voice
our opinions collectively to the college
administration, to the state legislature, to
Congress. Apparently the thinking when that
decision was made placed a high priority on
giving students the flexibility to establish their
.
own ways of organizing
themselves . And yet
some student leaders
have been approached
and
strongly
discouraged
from
engaging in spontaneous
and reckl~ss expressions
of dissatisfaction radical actions such as a
march on the Capitol. Apparently, it's just that
kind of action that reinforces the negative
perception of the school which led the House
to attack us in the first place.
It seems that students who are looking
for a way to have an influence on the way they
are to live and 'study next year are caught in a
bind: there is no way to engage in collective
involvement at a low-intensity level and action
on a higher intensity level without a well
thought out strategy.
While I understand that it is not the
function ofS&A to engage in partisan politics,
I would suggest that if there is to be any
organized effort by students to defend their
own interests in a political way, it will include,
possibly begin with, the folks on the Third
Floor.
I know that some coordinators and
volunteers see their role that way already, and
I know there are many students out there
looking for the way they can get involved. I
don't think anyone has all the answers, but we
won't find any of them without looking.

be comprised of only upper-class .collegeeducated people. working-class people in this
country are seven·ly underrepresented in the
government, and while i'm not a proponent of
working-through-the-system "activism" (if it
can be called that), at least it's a start. i know
that goldsmith isn't exactly what we would call
a radical. but at the same time i'm sure that
there is a reason that he was elected - he was
probably appealing to the concerns of people
who aren't usually addressed.
i feel like i'm coming across as if i agree wit h
of the
goldsmith's
campaign against evergreen - a
(al/ applicants must shine as bright as the)
campaign that i do believe is ignorant and
uninformed. not to mention homophobic. but
it's his ideas and his agenda that need to be
confronted, critiqued and acted against, not his
personal class background.
it's
counterproductive, at least to my agenda. to
separate "ourselves" (i.e. the academic elite)
(sun)
from the working class. there are many
historical and political reasons that the white
working class has been alienated fro:n left-wing
radicalism, and i think it's dangerous to rely
on c1assist stereotypes and assumptions in
order to further a left-wing agenda. it's only
gonna create more rifts.

so i'm not into having a moral at the end of
the story, but if there needs to be one i guess it
would be that we need to make sure that our
attacks and critiques are directed at the right
people. slagging working class people is not
gonna further the revolution.

Forceful arrest made on campus
Higher Education
House pulls a midnight robbery on state colleges
by Rep. Dawn Mason
State House Representative
House Republicans decided to run their
version of the budget late Friday and into the
ea rly hours of Saturday morning . What
resulted was the political equivalent of a
midnight robbery - a robbery of our kids and
their futures.
Big business in Washington spent the
first several months of this session bemoaning
the negative business atmosphere in our state
- despite the creation of over 121,000 new
jobs since 1993. As a result, the new House
majority created huge tax breaks for corporate
giants, leaving pennies for middle-class
fami lies.
Like the great train robbers of the old
West. big business leaders jump ed th e
legislative train early on and grabbed tax
breaks at every station. Their spoils to date
includ e tax breaks for manufacturers,
property-tax relieffor corporations, businessand-occupations tax rollbacks - the list goes
on and on.
But by the time the train finally headed
home, th ere was nothing left for its final
destination - the state budget.
From my seat, as the assistant ranking
Democrat on the House Higher Education
Committee, I've watched the fabric of higher
education in our state get lorn apart by illplanned budget cut s. And I'm seeing the
dreams and ambitions of parents for their
ch ildren disappear under the guise of
economic efficiency.
Last week, the Republican leadership
proudly claimed higher education to be their
"top priority." But how do they plan to support
this priority? They don't. At least not in this
budget.
When it comes to higher education, the
House Republicans have a pretty clea r plan:
Raise the ceiling on tuition costs. Offer no
meaningful financial assistance opportunities
for studen ts to pay for the increases. Then,
allow individual institutions to elevate tuition
even more, under the banner oflocal control.
The GOP budget forgets families, forgets
students, and forgets higher education. I just
don't believe this is what the voters of our state
had in mind when they sent this group of
Republicans to Olympia. I just don't believe
working families wanted funds for their
children's education plundered, Perhaps many
Republicans just don't understand the
importance of higher education for the people
of this state.
The higher education budget is a double- .
edged sword. See for yourself: A 10 percent
tuition increase for undergraduate students,
coupled with the authority for institutions to
inflate tuition for graduate students by as much
as 20 percent for program need. When
GUEST VIEWPOINT
compared to peer universities, our graduate
students are already subject to high tuition
rates. Under the GOP budget, graduate tuition
could explode at rates of more than $1,000
annually!
Now for the other edge of the sword:
Missing entirely ITom Republican budget is the
$60 million proposed by the governor for new
financial aid to encourage enrollment by
qualified students and to increase access.
As if this isn't bad enough, the House
budget would change the current formula used
to determine tuition rates. If the Republicans
have their way, universities could raise tuition
as much as 30 percent annually!
The taxpayers of this state should be
alarmed. Localized setting of tuition levels by
college regents would give legislators a way out
of the debate on higher education funding!
Citizens elect legislators to make tough
decisions. They don't elect us to pass the buck
to a grllup of bureaucrats - meeting behind
closed doors - to plan the future of higher
education in our state.
Under the GOP plan, traditional generalfund support for higher education would be
replaced by tuition increases. This ruse on
tuition policy is nothing more than an excuse
for lawmakers to cut state funding for higher
education, and then tell universities, "If you
want more money, you can ask the'students for
the cash." Did the citizens of our state really
want to take this step away from state
supported public education?
I'm worried . I'm worried about the
students. faculty, and staff at higher education
institutions throughout the state. I'm worried
about the parents who are already making
sacrifices to help their kids through college.
And you should be worried too - because the
train looks derailed, and it may never reach its
destination.
Washington currently ranks 49th out of
the 50 states in terms of access to higher
education. This is no time for mediocrity. It's
time to add coal to the engine. It's time to steer
the baby boom echo safely toward the higher
education system.
After this p' : weekend's debacle, the
House budget now sits before the state Senate.
Many changes are anticipated before the
House takes another crack at the spending
plan.
So what can you do? You can call your
lawmakers, before they pass another budget in
the dead of night.
Get involved. Call your senator and
representatives on the legislative hotline at 1800-562-6000. Tell them you want young
people to have a chance to stay in school and
finish their education. Tell them we need their
help in the form affair financial aid. Tell them
we need greater - not diminished - access
to our state's universities and colleges.
And remind them that our future
economy relies not on tax cuts for the rich, but
on well-educated, productive, taxpaying
members of society. It's not too late to stop this
heist - and put the loot back where it belongs.

On Tuesday, April 4, a man was arrested
by force and booked with resisting arrest and
obstructingjustice by Public Safety officer Bob
McBride. Peter Schlact, the man who was
arrested, was being questioned by Officer
McBride on suspicion that he had gone into a
women's rest room . Schlactdeclined to give his
name to McBride and was walking away when
McBride physically forced him to the ground,
restrained him with hand cuffs and arrested
him.
Alex Sewell, a college operator/
dispatcher, sa id she received a call from an
unidentified man at about 10:25 pm who said
that a man wearing a bowler hat and a black
leather jacket had gone into the women's rest
room on the second floor of the Library
building. Sewell then dispatched officer
McBride who drove the 900 yards to the
Library.
Peter Schlact, who is not a student but
grew up in the Olympia area, was walking with
a friend on to Red Square from the Library
lobby when McBride arrived.
McBride stopped Schlact and told him
that a man had been in the women's bathroom
matching his description and asked him why
he had entered the women's rest room. Schlact
said the men's rest room was locked and he had
to "take a piss," so he went into the women's.
According to Custodial staff the bathroom was
not locked at that time.
Schlact refused to give McBride his name
and was walking away when, according to
witnesses, McBride grabbed him by the
shoulder. "I need you to walk back over here, I
need some information. Please be
cooperative." McBride said.
McBride did not identify himself to
Schlact as a police officer but he was wearing
an Evergreen Public Safety uniform and
driving the Public Safety police car. McBride
is a commissioned police officer but ilDt all
Budget, from cover expensive than schools in its category, Carlson
explained that he had wanted to make it like
other schools in its category, but had a much
more difficult time convincing his Republican
co ll eagues to raise tuition there than at
Evergreen.
Rep.Jacobson, ranking minority member
on the House Higher Education Committee,
opposes the Bill saying it "limits academic
freedom." He stated that the Republicans do
not like what and how things are being taught
at Evergreen and are therefore raising tuition.
The bill includes a surcharge for students
who accumulate more than 115 percent of the
credit required for graduation, enforced by a
decrease in funding. The Senate budget
includes a building surcharge of up to five
percent and an activities surcharge which
could be equal to the proposed increase in the
base tuition .
You might not fare much better under the
Senate budget if you are ITom out of state. Of
course, it remains to be seen what surcharges
are made law and if they will be imposed. The
Senate bill does increase state funding along
with tuition increases while the house budget
decreases state funding and increases tuition
and has surcharges.
All Washington State students are going
to pay more next year for their education. How

Evergreen student Bill
contributed to this report. _
Evergreen officers are.
Leslie Q is an on-leave student and was
leaving the library with Schlact to give him a
ride downtown (She does not use her last name
publicly). According to Leslie Q, Schlact told
McBride to let go of him and then McBride put
his arm around his throat. She said Schlact's
face was turning red and she yelled at McBride
to let go of him . An unidentified passerby
joined McBride in attempting to subdue
Schlact. Leslie Q then said she was going to
call the police, and officer McBride responded,
"[ am the police!" She called the Thurston
County Sheriff department and by the time she
had returned McBride and the passerby had
Schlact on the ground, but not restrained. A
crowd of at least a dozen people had gathered
by that time.
McBride was attempting to hand cuff
Schlact's other wrist and warned Schlact ifhe
didn't give McBride his other wrist it might
break.
Leslie Q said that Schlact had been
flippant and said that refusing to answer
questions was not the smartest thing for him
to do. But she thinks the officer's ego had been
bruised and would characterize McBride's
actions as police brutality and not appropriate
for a public servant.
Cat Kenney, an Evergreen student,
arrived at the scene just as McBride had gotten
Schlact to the ground. "I don't think he was
being unnecessarily rough," said Kenney. "The
man wasn't cooperative at all. He was very
uncooperative," Kenney continued. "[ think he
[McBride) was just doing his job."
Although there were witnesses at the
scene who tried to intervene and claimed police
brutality, all of them walked away and would
not volunteer as witnesses when a Sheriff 's
Deputy asked to see their identification. Two
witnesses who felt that McBride had acted
appropriately did volunteer as witnesses.
Schlact was held over night in th e
Thurston County jail and was released on his
own recognizance on Wednesday evening.
After his release he told the CPfthat his wrists
were bruised and his eye injured from being
forced against the pavement. _

by Burt Culver
Many students have difficulty over the school year
meeting basic needs like paying tuilion, rent and food. The
TESC community has banded together to provide some
assistance to students facing food shortages. The Student
Health Center coordinates a smalJ food bank on campus,
pr<widing food items as well as limited h(Jusehold supplies for
use by anyone in need. It is located in the reception area of the
Health Center, and accessible Monday through Thursday, 8
am to 5 pm and Friday 8 am to noon.
During this past year, dedicated students working for
WashPIRG organized a food drive in the dorms. They went
door to door collecting donations. TESC students responded
generously and the Health Center was very grateful for their
assistance. Many students benefited from this gesture. But
that's past tense now! Once again our supplies are dangerously
low. That"s not good news for those who are barely holding it
together.
So it's time oncr more to encourage students, staff and
faculty to help support this ongoing project. We'need whatever
you can donate. Bringing in just one item will help! We need
basic non-perishable foods such as canned goods, dried grains,
beans, pasta, packaged food mixes, soups, etc. You can drop
items off at the Health Center, or in a special box that circulates
around campus. During April, the box will be located in the
Campus Public Safety office. In May, it will be in Registration
and in June you'll find it in Facilities. The Food Bank relocated
to Academic Planning and Experiential Learning during the
summer months. You may a1so want to organize a food drive
in your area of campus - maybe in your program, or in another
division of campus. Stafffrom the Health Center will be happy
to come and pick up donations. Your payoff will be knowing
you've made an important difference in the quality of life for
some TESC students.

THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL
Response to the angry letter submitted
by Mark DesMarets:
Mark, instead of having a knee-jerk "corporations are bad" reaction you should have
looked more closely at my offer. I put on the
posters that I'd donate
$0,25 to Earth Firstl
whether the application "gets approved or
not." That's right, I was
inviting people just like
yourself to fill out applications using their favorite aliases. Perhaps .
this wasn't spelled out
clearly enough for you.
You could have used the name "Mark E. Ting"
and cost AT&T approximately $5 worth of
postage, credit reportfees, etc. just to turn you
down. If enough people did this, AT&T might
write off the Evergreen campus and not come
back. If someone really wanted to apply for a
Mastercard, more power to them . ):You ld
charging tuition be much different from a student loan?
When I saw the notice "campus
representative" on the Evergreen job·board, I
saw an opportunity to use AT&T against itself.
It was working until Mark, defender of the selfrighteous, in his moment of "ecotage" glory,
tore down all the insidious posters. Ironically,
other offers put up by other "campus reps" that
don't suggest anything but blind consumerism
remain intact. At least, now I know who tore
down all the posters. Thank you, Mark, for
protecting the students from my supposed
corporate hypnosis. It sure is comforting to
know we have a Rush Limbaugh-of-the-Left to
protect us from making up our own minds for
ourselves. How can we ever thank you for
censuring the information you find unhealthy
for us? I hope that you at least recycled the
posters.
Mark, it's sad to see another victim of the

Angry White Male fad that is sweeping our
country. I agree that something needs to be
done for the Earth now, but if it is done out of
.anger you will be no different from the Newt
Gingriches and Pat Robertsons that spew
hatred into the national culture. Ironically,
your letter had the same tone as any from the
angry Right about abortion, race, or welfare.
r do understand
your frustrations, you
equate corporations and
money to the destruction
of all you hold dear. Yet,
you find yourself using
money and supporting
corporations. For example, let's say you are
"in" EF and you drive to
a logging site in your
Chevron-fuled Datsun. You're wearing your
special "night raid" black Lee jeans and your
trusty Raichle leather boots. You pump ultrafine Portland brand sand into the engine and
lubrication points of the giant tree-killing-machine. Next morning, the company, Standing
Timber, starts the engine and destroys it. They
call up State Farm who issues a check for a new
machine. The loggers now buy the newest and
fastest Caterpillar brand logging machine, increasing their rate of destruction. The old machine gets buried in the landfill, leaching sandy
oil into the ground. A new machine is built
from even more resources mined from Mother
Earth.
.1can see why you're so angry, Mark, but
you are angry at the wrong person . It is
hypocritical to hate corporations and support
them at the same time. Mark, I suggest that you
read Green Delusions for a critical analysis of
your viewpoint
I realize that I should have offered the
money to the ACLU who unlike you, Mark,
supports the freedom of speech. Please do not
remove the CPffrom campus if they print this
letter. Also, Mark, before you write another
letter to the editor, please take a deep breath
and count to ten.

Student's artwork stolen
from Capitol Theater
by Kelly Kaczynski
CPJ Systems Manager
During the month of January, the
Capitol Theater Mezzanine was exhibiting
art work by Nate Manny. The works were a
series of screenprints as well as threedimensional constructions. The three
dimensional works were interesting in that
they were sculptures which invited viewers
to interact.
As books or boxes, they contained
objects and ideas which contributed to a
story element. As purposefully elusive as the
plot was it was increasingly engaging. The
plot thickens. The screen prints created a
story as well. Hung as a pmgression, the
work led the viewer from image through the
thick of mystery in the story of "The Bomber
13." However, the story of "The Bomber 13"
went further than expected.
At some point in the month , one of the
prints was stolen. Quickly, quietly it was
gone. There was no glass or frames on the
work which gave it a feeling of accessibility
to its audience. Which is precisely what the
point was. Many people who came through
the mezzanine enjoyed playing with Nate's
boxes and books_
It is idiocy that someone should
disrespect the idea of interaction and
accessibility to art by the act of stealing. It
only contributes to the idea of art being
precious, art being elite and untouchable.
How can these myths be dissolved if
this is an
example of the
type of camera
used to track and
document the
Bomber 13, it is
about the size of
an ordinary pen.
Nate Manny's
"Bomber 13"
art isn't allowed the
opportunity to be shown
in the community just
because someone in that
community has decided to
invade out or pure
selfishness? Someone liked that print, or didn't
like it, so they decided to remove it. Crazy, I
tell you.
If you or anyone you know has an inkling
of the whereabouts of Nate Manny's
screenprint, number "3" in the series, please
call the curators of the Mezzanine , Kelly
Kaczynski and Katie Baldwin at 534-9561, or
leave a message at the Capitol Theater office.
Thanks .
Salvage logging may incite arson
and environmental distruction
by Paloma Galindo, Heather Jones
and Ron Smith
Contributors
A bill before President Clinton could
threaten fragile forests and be a boost to the
timber industry if he does not veto it.
The Senate decided to pass the
Appropriation's Rescission Bill "emergency"
salvage rider which requires the Forest Service
and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM),
who are openly opposed to this amendment,
to prepare 6,2 billion board feet of salvage
timber sales across the nation in the next two
years. This dramatic escalation in salvage
logging would be immune to legal challenge
from existing environmental protection laws,
robbing citizens of their constitutional rights
of appeal and court review, This scam would
force the logging of innumerable old-growth
sales, and ravage roadless and wilderness
areas, all of which would jeopardize
endangered species.
To add insult to injury, tax payers will be
forced to subsidize these timber sales, costing
us an estimated $375 million per yearl The
bill stipulates massive cuts in funding for
education programs, subsidized home heating
programs and· defense waste cleanup in the
interest of saving tax payers money. However
the rider will cost taxpayers more than the cu ts
will save. This replaces public welfare
programs with corporate welfare subsidies.
The excuse for these atrocities is to "ease
fire threats and harvest dying trees before they
rot." Frequent fires have many ecological
benefits for soil and plant fertility, releasing
nutrients and enhancing production of
nitrogen-fixing plants that often revegetate
recently burned areas. Fires cleanse forests by
reducing many tree pathogens, insects and
diseases, while thinning out the younger trees
and leaving behind the more mature
individuals. Some tree species are specifically
adapted to survive fues, and need them to aid
reproduction. Even catastrophic fires are an
ecologically important part of the landscape.
Dead and dying trees are not wasted. but
are an integral part of healthy forest
ecosystems. They are homes for many species,
nurse logs for other trees, help prevent soil
erosion, retain moisture and add nu trien Is to
the forest.
Salvage logging is an incentive for arson
and a prescription for disaster, Call or write
President Clinton and our Senators immediately
and urge him to use his veto power.

Yes, it's true - ( was the tour guide for

Representatives, Greeners may think that we
are special, good and wise, while THEYare evil,
backward, and ignorant ... but, remember,
THEY are the "elect" (-ed) ... not we. It is easy,
here in the People's Republic of Evergreen
(PRE), where we do not sully our superior
hands with anything so plebeian as mere
democracy, to forget that ours is not a private
academy or club, but a public school funded
by the decisions of representatives chosen by
voters. It is a good idea for us to remember that
the existence and funding of this institution
depends upon the good will and approval of
imperfect persons who are imperfectly
represented by elected officials.
(t seems Likely, given the history of this
institution , that "our" side of the us/them
divide is approximately mirrored on the
"them" side of duality. "All 'Greeners are the
same: and "that school where everyone just
wants to party and get loaded," is one side of a
terrible tango, a useless dance marred by many
bruised toes. There is basically only one way
to put this cycle to rest, and that is to
acknowledge a range of validity in the "them"
side of this spinning wheel. All virtue and
wisdom does not reside with Evergreen in its
relationship to the Legislature; there is value
in concerns expressed by the lawmakers
chosen by the electorate. There are people both
there and here who are not willing to look the
other way while some students are trapped in
surroundings that feature drug deals, garbage,

Rep. Gene Goldsmith entertains student Scott Foster

Jervis defines pollard
Dear Editor,
Earlier this year you carried one or more letters objecting
to the "mutilation" ofthe trees on Red Square, I have a hunch
the design is intentional, and I thought your readers might enjoy
the following:
pollarding: The cutting of top tree branches back to the trunk,
leaving club·headed stems that grow a thick head of new
branches, The purpose is to limit the area of top growth or to
create an annual harvest of boughs for basket weaving, securing
thatch, and the like. (Encyclopedia Britannica)
pollard: 1) An animal of a kind normaUy horned, as an ox or
stag, which has cast or lost its horns. 2) A tree which has been
polled or cut back, at some height above the ground, so as to
produce at that point a thick close growth of young branches,
forming a rounded head or mass. (Oxford English Dictionary)
poll: 1) To cut short the hair of (a person or animal); to crop,
dip, shear. 2) To cut off the top of (a tree or plant); especially to
top or head (a tree) at a few feet from the ground that it may
throw out branches; to pollard; also to lop the branches of. 3)
To cut off the head of an animal or thing. 4) To cut even the
edge of a sheet. 5} To cut off the horns of (cattle). (Oxford
English Dictionary)
noise, and vandalism. There are teachers and
students at this school who want more than to
just repeat the postmodernist class-and-gender
catechism that too often passes for education.
(One "educator" at Evergreen last quarter
began his lecture by saying "One thing we do
know is that reality is socially constructed." He
probably didn't realize that his very expression
of certainty constitutes a postmodernist joke.)
Education at its heart consists in being exposed
to a wide range of contesting viewpoints and
information, under circumstances where all
perspectives can be openly aired, without fear
of recrimination . The more pointed the
controversy, the more directly disparate views by Dan Floyd
are expressed, the greater is the likelihood of

they were going to catch the next bus.
I went back to the grounds shed and
waited for security for about 45 minutes. I went
into the Community Center and called Public
Safety again. It was about 4:30 pm. I talked to
a male operator this time and when I described
what had happened and I had called earlier, he
stated: "This is the first time I have heard of
this, ( have just come on duty since 4 pm and
was notified of this happening." He sounded
concerned and tried to immediately put me in
touch with Officer Webb. I was told Officer
Webb had insisted on talking with me on the
phone instead of coming and talking to me at
the grounds shed. I waited for a few minutes
until Officer Webb arrived to the phone and
had a brief discussion with Officer Webb.
Officer Webb asked me several questions
but never really gave me a chance to give him a
full account of what had happened. Every time
I tried, I was interrupted by his questioning.
Officer Webb told me since I didn't actually see
a specific drug exchange hands, there was
nothing he could do. He said he would come
talk to the kids and he would call the person at
the Branch and have them open the back door
so the youth's wouldn't see him drive up and
run off, After getting off the phone I went back
to the Grounds Shed. About five minutes later
Officer Webb drove up. I went outside and told
him that I was the person who had called. He
just looked at me, nodded his head and then
went inside the back door of the Branch. About
ten minutes later, I sawall the kids that had
been involved and a bunch of their friends,
approximately ten in all, walking by the
grounds shed. I then saw Officer Webb back
up his vehicle and then drive off.
I am really concerned over this sequence
of events for several reasons. I felt lhat I had
caused Public Safety an inconvenience in
reporting this and that they were not
concerned with what had happened. I think
this is evident because of the lack of an initial
response, the obvious lack of a log entry to be
passed on to the next shift, and the fact that
there was no further questioning of me. I
received no type of response whatsoever, not
even a thank you. I am concerned by the
tolerance that was shown for kids dealing drugs
on my campus. I don 't think that Public
Safety's obvious attempt to ignore this will
make this problem go away.

"No you can't stick it in! Don't forget
we're cousins."
And so begins Trent Harris' Plan 10
from Outer Space. a hilarious tale of
nymphomaniac aliens and the Mormon
Church.
(Note: Plan 10 is not confused with
Plan 9 from Outer Space. Iyhich has been
called "the worst movie ever made•.. which
is not to be confused with Harris' previous
movie, Rubin and Ed - which many smallminded critics called the worst movie
possible.)
In Plan 10. we follow this story through
the eyes of Lucinda. a 20-something author
from a "good Mormon family." She finds a
plaque that was buried by a long-dead
Mormon elder many years ago. This plaque
holds the truth about the Mormon Church
and about the mysterious Plan 10. She takes

Throughout her journey we meet a
variety ofcharacters. ranging from Lucinda's

Lucinda's boxer-wearing Chippendalewannabe neighbor (who's name eludes me
at this time) that dances in front of his
window nightly while Lucinda attempts to
write her novel and later "helps" Lucinda
along her quest. One cannot help but feel
compelled to this man for some odd reason,
Maybe it's the way he dances in front of that
window. Maybe it's the way wears those
boxers. Maybe it's none of these things. I
don't know. it's just one of those things.
Perhaps the best thing about this
movie though has to be that you don't have
to know anything about Mormons to like
this movie. I don't know all that much about
Mormons. other than what I learned in my
textbooks or the token Mormon girl in my
high school history class. Given this limited

First off, in all honesty I have no

short stint on the flute in fourth grade) and I
can 't even sing in tune. However, I know

God, I love Fitz! They're hard-core.

that they're noisy but I don'twant anyone to

noise that penetrates your body and creeps

your pores. It's the kind of noise that leaves

The Olympia Film Society welcomed
Crispin Glover and his "Really Big Slide
Show" at the Capitol Theater on Saturday,
Aprill. The slide show was a show case for
eight books written by Glover. He narrated
the show. Standing on stage next to the slides
with a circle of light illuminating his face, the
style of his show was reminiscent of spoken
word performance.
Glover is no stranger to the performing
arts. In addition to his slide, Glover stands
out on the silver screen. He has appeared in
such films as Back to the Future, The River's
Edge, and most recently, in Even Cowgirls
Get the Blues. As a part of the evening's
entertainment, Glover showed his short film,
The Orkly Kid. The film was well acted and
showed the tribulations and confinements of
life in a small town. After the show, there
was a midnight showing of another Glover
film, Little Noises.
The slide show itself was enjoyable.
Crispin Glover has a unique speaking voice
and a very distinctive way of using it. His
voice added a lot to the slides (which,
actually, were pages of his books) and gave
added input to the show. However, the
evening was not without its follies. Problems ·
with the projectors and the film, although
probably not appreciated by Mr. Glover,
added to the evening's fun. After all, it was
April Fools Day.
"Crispin Hellion Glover's Really Big
Slide Show" premiered in Olympia two years

ago, at the Olympi~ Film Festival. Mr. Glover
has since gone national with it. It has

Crispin Hellion Glover, with a name
like this how can you lose? On April 1st
Glover made his second appearance at
ews
downtown Olympia's Capitol Theater
boasting "really big slides." I, for one,
couldn't resist.
To truly understand the dedication the
people of Olympia had towards seeing these
"really big slides" you must understand for
this 8 pm show the crowd wa's n't even
allowed in the building until 9 pm, after most
of us had been standing in the cold for
approximately an hour and a half.
Regardless, we had a mission, to see "really
big slides."
Glover's slides consisted of his artistic
use of literature. He not so much as writes
books but transforms already written boc.
by taking words and sentences out. Glo'
uses books on odd topics, such as j(

humor. These book pages are placed

throughout the evening was the e\

may have thought technical problems WOI
have been worked out during the extend
pre-performance wait, unfortunately, yo'
be wrong. The slide projector broke dow
couple of times, putting a halt to the "re:!

offered his advice, being the expert on "re~
big slides," but was mostly left on the sta:
in front of hundreds of people and with
responses to his inquiries. At one po:
Glover simply begged for any slide, jl
something he could work with.

state laws that require them to regulate and
an initiative that imposes incalculable
economic liability for doing so.
The Bar Association's statement to the
legislature said, "The initiative's definition of
restraint of land use applies to any limit on
the use of private property; there is no basis
in the definition for restricting its
applicability to what are commonly thought
of as land use regulations ... including
antidiscrimination laws, health department
regulations, worker-safety laws, and business
licensing requirements." According to 1-164,
it could be reasoned that if fire safety
regulations were too costly and therefore
resulted in profit loss, it could be considered
a "taking", for which compensation would
have to be made.
A literal reading of this initiative infers
that merely requiring someone to apply for
a permit before they develop their property
could be considered a "restraint ofland use."
Similarly, a city or county also could not take
enforcement action against violators of its
building zoning, environmental, or public
safety regulations without first preparing
economic impact statements and waiting the

required 30 days.
Also included in a section of the bill is
a clause which declares the state responsible
for the financial compensation of other
governmental entities. A concern
repeatedly raised at the committee meeting
by citizens and officials alike was the
question of how long could federal and state
agencies afford to enforce regulations for
lack of funds. The point was made that the
state is already cutting public aid,
education, and other programs because of
budgeting problems, and the money spent
9n court and litigation costs will eventually
impact those people and programs needing
the money most.
The issues brought forth at this
meeting made it clear why Chairwoman
Haugen stated the need for further
examination of this Act. Virtually all agreed
that the law, as written, is too vague and
would further clog the courts, and that its
ramifications are far more broad in their
impact than simply ecological. _
