THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE

by Sara Steffens
About 20 students attended a meeting
yesterday evening to voice their concerns
about the deans' proposal to change
Evergreen from quarters to semesters by
1995-96.
During the April 9 faculty meeting,
faculty will vote on whether they want to
keep the current quarter system or change to
one of the alternative academic calendars
being proposed.
The college has to make a final decision
in time for the faculty to plan a new '95-96
curriculum by June. After June, the college
begins preparing the '95-96 catalog.
During a regularly scheduled meeting
of student group coordinators. Dean John
Cushing presented information about three
semester systems and a trimester system the
faculty are considering. He asked students
attending to give their opinion of the various
plans.
Many students were concerned that the
decision is being made too rapidly, without

enough time for faculty to ask students if
semesters would benefit them.
"I don't think this is realistic to do this
by June ... " said Megan Trinneer, Student
Activities employee and S&A Board minutes
taker, "It's just not enough time."
'This is a college that we pay for," said
Annika Carlsten, Peace and Conflict
Resolution Center co-coordinator. "We
should have a greater say."
Cushing stressed that if the faculty do
vote to move Evergreen to semesters, their
proposal will then be brought to the rest of
the college, and President Jane Jervis will
make the final decision.
Faculty are now only trying to decide
if semesters would enable them to teach more
effectively, said Cushing.
He assured students that if the faculty
vote to change the academic calendar, he and
other administrators will seek more extensive
student response.

WashPIRG will remain at IESC
by Andy Lyons
According to WashPIRG's January
election , the majority of students still want
to keep the organization around.
The election, held by WashPIRG from
Jan . II to 15 . revealed that nearly one-third
of the student body voted. For the election
to be valid, 25 percent of the Evergreen
population needed to vote.
Out of the ballots cast : 92 .3 percent
voted for WashPIRG's continued presence
on campus and 7.6 voted against it.
According to Liz Hoar, campus
WashPIRG coordinator, the next step is to
take the election results to the Board of
Trustees. "WashPIRG is different from any
group on campus," she said. "[It is] an
autonomous organization and it's up to the
Board of Trustees to actually approve
WashPIRG staying on campus. They want
to see a demand from the student body to
keep WashPIRG on campus."
As part of a contract negotiations with
the Board of Trustees, WashPIRG gets voted
on every two years.
Another part of the negotiations this
year concerns the cost of fee collection.
"We reimburse their cost in personnel,
staff. computer time. said Hoar. "We send
out a letter explaining the organization and
the fee along }Vith a waiver card to every
single student."
The current cost of collection is $4.275.
roughly 24 percent of the total amount
collected. The Board of Trustees is planning
to tack on a five percent increase this year.
Another thing the cost covers is the
returned waiver cards. According to Hoar,
more than 500 of the waiver cards were
returned last quarter. but there has yet to be
a regular count. That is another thing she
wants added to the contract.
Next quarter, the group will start
focusing education about the NisquaIly basin
project. They will w.ork on a plan to expand
the Nisqually basin. a managed wildlife
refuge. They will be organizing hikes, slide
shows and bird watching. On the national
level, the group is also still working to pass
a national bottle deposit law.

Student workers unite for rights
by Tony Pelaez
On March 2, student workers at
Evergreen concerned with state labor policies
gathered in the Lecture Hall Rotunda. This
was the third meeting of the group.
This cause has managed to provoke
these student workers into the formation of
a group voicing the concerns of those
students working in areas such as housing,
the computer center and media services. The
group doesn ' t even have a formal name yet.
but feels that the situation now demands
recognition.
This budding organization is seeking
the support of all students and individuals
supporting their cause of recognition and the
formation of a student group that will enable
them to safeguard their rights and provide
assistance for students in grievance
proceedings.
'
These student workers say they have
found a void when it comes to the policies
affecting their treatment. They claim that
they are not being dealt with as equal
members of the staff and that many of the
practices in terms of student labor policies
at Evergreen are unfair.
One such claim is that they are being
prevented from working more than 19 hours
so they cannot be classified as workers under
Washingto~ State labor laws . Under these
laws they could have access to benefits such
as food stamps and health care.
Another allegation by the student
workers is that they are not provided
sufficient safety equipment such as
respirators and rubber aprons for conditions
involving hazardous chemicals. Some have
stated that they only receive formal training
and information concerning those hazardous
chemicals depending on the individual
supervisor.
These uniting student work e rs are
currently circulating a petition renecting the
student support of workers and non-workers .
They hope to acquire 700 or more signatures .
Those wishing to participate with the
organization are urged by the group to attend
meetings on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the
Lecture HaIl Rotunda . For more information
call Robert Demko at 943-2563. The group
is also looking for students wishing to ass ist
in the area of labor studies for possible
academic credit.

u.s. Bureau warns
of foreign drugs
WASHINGTON, D.C.-With many
American college students planning
overseas trips this spring and summer
break, the U.S. Bureau of Consular
Affairs warns that once you leave U.S.
soil, U.S. laws and constitutional rights
no longer apply. Unlike the U.S., few
countries believe "you are innocent until
proven guilty." Americans suspected of
drug violations can face severe penalties,
even the death penalty, in some foreign
countries.
Therefore, if you think there is no
rcal danger in buying or carrying just a
"small" amount of drugs on your overseas
trip, you might be in for a very
unpleasant surprise. Amerieans have been
arrested for possessing as little as a third
of an ounce of marijuana.

CIA .whistle-blower, author Agee comes to Evergreen
by Steven Thomas
Philip Agee, ex-CIA agent, author, and
activist, will speak in the Library lobby at
noon on Friday, March 11.
This event is being sponsored by EPIC
and should prove both "inspiring ·and
informative. His topic will be the CIA and
lingering U.S. antagonism towards Cuba.
By most accounts, the Cold War ended
with the breakup of the USSR (or CCCP),
and the "Free World" won. Three years later,
we, the "leaders" of this "Free World" still
·conduct business as usual when dealing with
the few remaining Marxist states, apparently
because they constitute a threat to our
freedom, if only symbolically.
We still have forces in Korea, extorting
the government in the north of that peninsula
with the threat of escalation (with
"defensive" weapons and troups). We still
maintain an economic embargo of our onceprolific sugar plantation, Cuba. Our record
in the rest of Latin America speaks loudly
for itself.
The recent lifting of sanctions against
Vietnam notwithstanding, it would seem that
we are indeed perpetuating that divisive
enterprise that so momentously ended in
1991 . That we as a nation still consider
nations such as Cuba a threat to national
security may be unreasonable, but it should
not blow anyone's mind.
What you may find surprising is that it
is illegal for U.S. citizens to travel to Cuba.
Actually, you are free to go to Cuba, but
unless you are a journalist, professional '
researcher, or Cuban American visiting
relatives, you are breaking U.S. law if you
spend any money there. So pack a lunch and
take your tent, it's no-frills in Havana. This
may be the Free World, but check with your
government for permission before you try to
leave.
If you find this ironic, check your pulse.
It is outrageous.
Fortunately, an impassioned champion
of freedom and self-determin~tion is coming
to the Evergreen campus to tell us all about
it. Philip Agee is going to talk about Cuba
and the CIA.
Philip Agee's career with the CIA began

in Ecuador, where he coordinated spying
within the government, communist party, and
other political o·r ganizations. He was
involved in military coups against civilian
governments in 1961and1963. The Cuban
revolution and public perceptions thereof
were the primary focus of hi s operations in
Ecuador.
After Ecuador, he transferred to
Uruguay, where he was directly involved in
a manner of subversive activities, such as
phone tapping and mail interception , and
helped to de stroy diplomatic relations
between Cuba and Uruguay in 1964. He also
helped to falsely charge Soviet and Eastern
European diplomats in Uruguay in 1966,
resulting in their expulsion.
He transferred again in 1968, this time
to Mexico. After working in and around
Mexico City during the times of the 1968
Olympics with the objective of CIA
recruitment, Agee had had enough. He
tendered his resignation in early 1969.
After resigning, a disillusioned Agee
wrote an expose on the subversive aspects
and tactics of his former employers, titling it
Inside the Company. It took five years to
complete, during which time Agee was, not
surprisingly, doggedly harrassed by the
Agency.
Having established himself both as an
authority on and an opponent of the more
questionable activities of the CIA, Agee
quickly became very popular with many
foreign organizations. His subsequent
activites earned him the attention of Henry
Kissinger, who arranged for his expUlsion
from The United Kingdom, in 1976. He soon
found he was to have trouble settling in any
part of Europe.
In 1979, Cyrus Vance (Jimmy Carter's
Secretary of State) revoked Agee's passport
on the grounds that he had "caused serious
damage to the national security and foreign
policy of the United States." Agee sued, but
was eventually denied in a controversial 1981
Supreme Court ruling.

publication of his autobiography, On the Run.
Upon his return (which was not met with
prosecution by the Reagan administration),
Agee linked himself with the growing
movement of dissent over U.S. Latin
American policy and began l~cturing .
Agee has consistently maintained that
the CIA is largely a legitimate and necessary
organization . He is equally consistent in
semesters, from COli.
Cushing said that the college is
interested in hearing students' opinions, but
changing to semesters would be a college
decision that students would not have the
power to veto.
"Students are only here for a finite
period of time, around four years, and can't
really be allowed to make decisions that
will affect faculty 10 years down the road,"
said Cushing.
Other students worried that they
would not be allowed to help determine
options for different types of calendars, but
would only be allowed to react to those
preferred by the faculty.
"By the time this reaches the students,
it will only be a multiple-choice question,"
said Jules Sibbern, co-coordinator of the
Evergreen Queer Alliance who attended the
meeting.
Men's group coordinator Christian
Hoerr said that he might support a semester
system, but he does not like the four options
the faculty are considering.
Hoerr ha s attended colleges using
many different academic calendars, and
said he thinks semesters at Evergreen could
help, "take the pressure off people."
At yesterday'S Board of Trustees
meeting, Ray Goforth, student
representative to the Board, said the current
deadlines for making the decision do not
leave nearly enough time to address student
concerns.
Since learning of the proposal last
week, Goforth talked to students through

proposals and the process by which the
decision is being made.
"There is a cIear and strong feeling
that students have been excluded from this
decision for some reason," said Goforth in
his report to the Board. "A significant
undercurrent expressed by students was a
sense of scorn and anger at the faculty for
attempting to make such a fundamental
change to our community without
consulting the student body."
Gail Tremblay, faculty representative
to the Board, said that she felt faculty at the
last meeting were very concerned about
gaining studenl input and would
individually do so before voting in April.
However, only a few of the students
attending last nights' meeting said their
faculty had raised the issue in class. In a

about the proposal before voting in April.

Aung San Suu Kyi has been
involved in the democracy movement
since 1988. She founded the National
League for Democracy (NLD), which
became the largest national elected party
in Myanmar. The NLD won 80 percent of
the scats in the May , 1990 elections, but
the military regime still holds power.
Shortly after the coup that brought the

declared and laws were enacted banning
" politi cal gatherings."
The NLD and other opposition
groups organized peaceful rallies in
defian ce of martial law. Shortly tfiereafter
on July 2 1, 1989, Aung San Suu Kyi

Keane spoke on women's struggles
against colonialist ie oppression
worldwide.
Amnesty hopes that cosponsoring this event will clear up some
questions regarding Northern Ireland.
The talk by Keane let the
Evergreen. community know that the
oppression of the Irish people is in no
way romantic, and that for the "hachet to
be buried" it must be taken out of the
hearts and souls of the Irish people who
have been persecuted by colonialist
England for centuries.

To a certain extent, the glossing

performance is understandable, due to the
impoflHnce that other schools and

to our associations and relationships we
are cheapening our social bond.
With dishonesty becoming
ritualistic in fooos such as the writing of
evaluations or dressing for job
interviews, it seems as if the liars have
taken control and that honesty is just a
pleasant anachronism. In reality, honesty
in communication probably never
existed.
I guess that by bringing this up
again I might be beating a dead horse, but
maybe, just maybe, the horse is still
kicking. And maybe we should think
about ways (starting small) by which we
can start communicating more openly.
When someone asks you "How' s
it going?" think about it first (it'll take
some time to suppress the automatic
"OK"), then answer honestly and fully.
Write yourself an evaluation that
really tells how you felt you did over the

What' s that? You want us to go

Digressions, digressions, which contains

You may wonder, dear readers, why
we seemed so careless in the writing of
11m las t column. An error is an error,
regard less of tone or intended effect,
right? This could be considered a
philosophical question , but we'd like to
address it anyway.
Simply put, the issue is this: is
Ihcre a grammatical absolute? As in any
philosophi cal debate, it is important to
defi ne terms. For the purposes of this
discussion , we take grammar to mean the
SC I of rules for production of proper
se ntences in a language. Let's ignore
C hom sky for now. Maybe we can talk
'lbo ut him next quarter (only if you ask
li S really nicely, though) .
Let us first look at the common
dictionary and its function in a language
community. The French Royal Academy
is engaged in the losing battle of trying
to keep the French language pure, and its
dictionaries reflect this attitude. The
tumusse cuntaills only words which meet
lhe Academy's requirements for being
pure French, despite the recent explosion
\)f English word-borrowing. Because of
this, the dictionary does not adequately
descnbe the French language as it is
being spoken by ordinary French people.
This is the prescriptive model. Webster's
New Collegiate Dictionary follows the
descriptive model by including vernacular
and slang words.
Grammar walks the fine line
between these two schools of thought,
acting both as a reflection of the present
evolutionary state of a language, and as a
guide for its use. No grammarian in her
left mind would try to tell you that a
grammatical rule is set in stone, because
languages do evolve. While we cannot
prevent the inevitable evolutionary
process, we can cenainly attempt to
understand. our language in its present
rorm.
One of the primary functions of
~anguage is communication. Clarity is an
Important goal in any use of the language
as such, and grammar is the key to
attaining it. Grammar should never get in
the way of the expression of ideas; it
should facilitate it. We must recognize
what we are trying to convey with our
use of language, and from that point use
the sl!Uctures of grammar, as appropriate,
to gUide us.
In other words, no. There is no
grammatical absolute (relatively
speakirig, of course).
Grammer [sic] is OUT freind [sic].

'Bitchin' columnist Anti-semitic flyer
urged to 'lighten up' enrages student
Carson, Carson, Carson ...
Listen, I somewhat figured you'd find
reason to take offense with my question; in
fact, maybe, just maybe, I included it as a
little test to examine how quick you are to
assume you' re being attacked. going on only
a few contextual clues. I would remind you
that you know nothing about the identity of
your correspondent (except maybe that he is
a TESC employee). have no idea as to his
views on religion at large. or paganism in
panicular.
But unfonunately. it was just another
opportunity for you to be self righteous. But
that's okay, that's just fine.
Anyway, as I said, it was an honest
question. and you didn ' t even bother to
answer it. Well, I don't care. I don't even give
a smidgeon of a shit. And as for paganism,
yeah, I'm all for it. If I were actually to find
it to my advantage to declare a religious
preference, it would probably be'pagan, but
only in the most unstructured of s!,!nses.
So uh. lighten up, huh? It's the hardest
thing to do sometimes, I know this ... But
it's so necessary in this world, you wouldn't
even believe it. (Also, it enables you to speak
to a broader spectrum of peoples, if that's
important to you.) People Never Grow Up,
see . and maybe one day I'll see fit to
elaborate on that, but now I have to go,

I am angry. This morning, while
walking to my class, I was confronted by the
sight of an anti-semitic flyer on a bulletin
board. The flyer read "2,000,000 Jews creating a myth." I classify hate literature of
this sort as a hate crime, it is assaultive and
traumatizing.
I urge everyone to educate themselves
about the Holocaust. and about the White
supremacist agenda. Every generation must
listen, learn and make sure that another
Holocaust never happens again.
I thank the Students Affairs Office for
noting my concern.

Water quality issues
not given attention
There has been recent attention in the
1000:al media as to the quality of fresh water
supplies in Thurston County. There were
reports that "water issues" won't be high
priority on this session of Congress.
I believe it is high time that a thorough
survey was undertaken to develop a
comprehensive map of aquifers, springs,
wells, and river(ulette)s both above and under
ground. Without such knowledge, we are
continually cutting ourselves off from our
own water supply. and it is obvious that we
are not getting the maximum performance,
efficiency, or protection of water distribution.
Without this knowledge how are we

determining land zoning, use, and
development? It is evident that even this
"renewed" body of elected officials is content
to make money, laws, and inefficient
decisions at the expense of future
generations, quality of living, and the land

Let it be known that there is not enough
being done to correctly route, protect, and
secure on of the most technically sens itive

Chicken claimed by
Campus Child Care
Dear CPJ,
We are so glad to know where our
chicken went. It has been living in and just
outside of our yard since May 24 of 1993.
We tried to find where it came from but
none of the neighbors seemed to be missing
one. The Organic Farm was certain it wasn't
theirs, so it became our friend.
It only responded to the name of
"Chicken" - so it was.
We believe it tired of being chased by
children wanting to play, and moved on.
We're glad to know it is safe and sound
behind the library! But we miss it!!

We the staff of the Academic Planning

on behalf of Delores.
We would like to bring to your attention
that "our fo~I, feathered friend" has already
been "appropriately" named Delores. She has

We appreciate your concern for her
identity and hope this "new" information
pertaining to it will help.

Kitty Parker and the APEL staff
I'm one of the lucky few students who
has actually read the dean's report on
Restructuring the Academic Calendar.
While there may be some merit to the
semester system proposals, 1 genuinely
believe that the best system (if there is to be
a new one) can only come out of a
community- wide dialog. The current process
feels as if there is an attempt to push this
through without consulting the rest of the
community. I say "feels" because I want to
believe that the endless talk about "studentcenteredness" is more than hyperbole .
To be honest, I don't understand the
hurry. Why not take a year to study and
debate the various proposals? If the student
retention problems are driving this sense of
urgency, then I question why the faculty
haven't bothered to ask students what they
want changed? In studying the report, I've
found many potential problems.
Student complaints about Core
programs stress the perception of being
trapped in bloated and unchallenging classes.
Under the proposed semester models , all
students would find themselves similarly
entangled for half an academic year. This

Insult reminds student of Evergreen's Heterosexism
Forum
by Burnie Gipson
"FuCK You FAGGOTI ," who said this and
why I hope you ask!
That's what I asked other students,
surrounded by two 'bible thumpers,' out in
front of the CAB on Tuesday. I asked because
while walking by, what I thought was the
usual rhetoric, that I can usually pass by, I
heard those words.
I've heard those words before - I've
said them to other faggots I But the way I
heard it made me feel threatened. Oh poor
little white fag, you say. what about freedom
of speech you say. Yeah. I realize there's such
a thing as freedom of speech. But is it socially
acceptable to say 'fuck you (insen racial slur)
as a way to get a rise out of a racist or to say
any hate filled derogatory statement in that
way?
While feeling freaked, obviously an
affected faggot , I knew there wasn't much
that I could do. I knew Olympia had a hate
crimes bill and through past experience, I
knew this didn't mean much. But still, I had
been affected and was looking for options to
deal with it.
It is considered a hate crime to say 'fuck
you nigger,' fuck you bitch/dyke,' and 'fuck
you faggot" , or any combination. I know this
because I called the Sheriff's office. I also
found out that in order for anything to be
considered a hate crime, it must be filed as a
complaint by the person at whom the hate
was directed.
After finding this out and asking the
security office if there was an officer aware
of our on-campus visitors, I realized that I
should further investigate. After all, if I'm
feeling freaked by this, then shouldn't I find
out what was said, who said it, why and what
was the motivation behind it?
Who said it? As I said, no one knew for
sure, people thought that it couldn't have
been those visitors. All that I talked to said
that it had to be one of the other students.
Rape Response Coalition seeks
advocates and peer educators
by Rachel Bennett
The Rape Response Coalition is
looking for advocates and peer educators for
next year!
Advocates provide support and
information to survivors of sexual assault,
sexual harassment, and domestic violence.
They are trained to understand the issues of
sexual assault, domestic violence, the public
safety procedures, the internal grievance
process, and the legal system. We require
advocates to go through the Safeplace
training which is offered quarterly.
Peer educators design and present
workshops on rape awareness and
prevention. Past workshops have discussed
issues of societal expectations, gender roles,
boundaries, myths about rape, same-sex rape,
and the interrelated aspects with all forms of
oppression.
This spring, Ihe Rape Response
Coalition will be offering a two day retreat
for st udents interested in becoming peer
educators and advocates next year. There will
be a variety of presentations given by people
from both on and off campus. Some of the
topics to be discussed are: facts about sexual
assault and domestic violence, antioppression training, HIV / AIDS risk, the
internal grievance system, and drug/alcohol
issues within sexual and domestic violence.
If you are interested in becoming a peer
educator or advocate, it is imperative that you
attend this retreat.
Every quarter this year, students have
done either a contract or an internship with
the Rape Response Coalition. We encourage
~tude nt s who are interested in participating
in the Rape Response Coalition to get credit
for their efforts. This retreat is a perfect
introduction if you are interested in doing a
contract with the Coalition next year.
For comments or questions, please
leave a message at x6724.

Evergreen's Rape Response Coalition .

"FUCK You FAGGOT!?" This said by
another student? Using that phrase as a
derogatory statement to get a rise out of the
visitors? What the fuck!? .
I'm going to make the grand
assumption that it's OK to use "fuck y.ou
faggot" more than "fuck you (insert racial
slur)," especially on this campus! That
Evergreen is perhaps more polite about
dealing with their sexism, racism, classism.
etc., than with their heterosexism.
If this assumption is true, and if this
faggot is uyset abolltjust hearing those words
in an angry tone and shouted across campus,
then how safe it it for queers on this campus?
I guess this is a personal question thal some
of us may want to answer for ourselves. It is
most definitdy a question to be answered by
anyone in administration, in the faculty and
especially across the board in Evergreen 's
campus 'departments.'
I charge the campus with this serious
form of oppression: heterosexism . In thi s
instance, there is het-ism on dealing with just
students' safety, but it goes beyond this.
This is not a charge o~ accusation that
hasn 't been made before on any of the other
ways queers are dealt with on campus and in
the curriculum. Evergreen is one of the few
colleges that has an affirmative action
statement that includes all sexual orientations
- or preferences, as it states (which includes
heterosexuals) - but this accusation is
definitely not new.
To end, I have three questions; why and
who said this statement and does Evergreen
care')
If anyone can answer the first two, I
would be overjoyed to find out the answer.
As for the third I've already made up my
mind, but go ahead and justify your answer
if you, and I'm sure you do, have the need.

would reduce student control over their
education.
All of the proposals would put
Evergreen at odds with the schedules of the
K-12 school system in
Washington. Students,
staff and faculty with
children would find
themselves constantly
scrambling to meet the
child care needs arising
from differing holiday
and vacation schedules.
Many student-parents
would be driven out of
Evergreen by the
financial and emotional
costs of this upheaval.
With our schedule out of synch with the
other Washington State colleges, many
students would be discouraged from coming
to Evergreen. Community college transfers
would find themselves losing academic time
if they chose Evergreen. Potential freshman
would find our different deadlines confusing.
The semester proposals would create
even more barriers between us and the
potential students of this state. (As if the no-
grade thing wasn't enough.) This would
reduce our "resident student" population and
increase the pressure (rom the State
Legislature and Higher Education
Coordinating Board.
The Trimester
system (Option 3) would
be particularly burdensome for students. Under
this option, summer
school would become a
much more integral part
of the college. However,
tuition is significantly
higher and students are
ineligible for financial
aid (except for loans)
during
the
"selfsupporting" times of the academic year. This
would force students to increase their debt
load, reducing access for lower-income
students.
Evergreen is justifiably proud of our
extensive internship programs. The semester
proposals would cause difficulties in
synchronizing internships with external
schedules. For example, students wishing to
intern at the state legislature or in the K-12
To be honest,
I don't understand
the hurry. Why not
take a year to study
and debate the
various proposals?
system would find irreconcilable scheduling
conflicts. Semesters would be a terrible blow
to an internship program which has won
Evergreen national acclaim.
The current quarter system allows
students to either do an intense final project
or take an unrelated course during spring
quarter. It also allows students to broaden
their range of intellectual exploration by
sampling three separate 10-week
interdisciplinary programs. The argument
that a semester system would provide "real
choice" is inconsistent with what students are
actually asking to choose from.
In none of the retention data [' ve seen
have students called for less programs of
longer duration. Instead, students advocate
greater choice in curricular options; more
creative use of faculty to supply modular
course components (especially for graduate
school pre-requisites), and a consistent call
for a tougher workload. In none of my
conversations have students asked for the
diminished choice and control these semester
options will deliver.

Workshops to focus on human rights and the environment
by Jason Wallach
The People sSummitfor Environmental
Justice will be held on April 22-24, 1994 at
The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA.
The Summit will be an excellent opportunity
to get together with grassroots activists from
Canada, Mexico, and the United States who
are struggling for environmental justice to
share skills, stories, stralegies and dreams.
Our objective is to foster the sharing of skills
crucial to community organizing and shaping
future environmental policy. We wish to
continue the work begun in October. 1991
by the First National People of Color
Environmental Leadership Summit, by
upholding the Principles of Environmental
Justice and working in the spirit of
cooperation that the Principles embody. The
summit will provide an opportunity for the
voices of those who have struggled in their
own communities to comefonh, emphasizing
the importance of cross-culwral coalition
building toward the common end of
environmental justice for all people.
Environmental Justice implies the
understanding that issues of human rights are
integrally ' Iinked with environmental
protection. While mainstream environmental
organizations have traditionally focused on
less controversial causes (such as ozone
depletion. deforestation, and the Endangered
Species Act), recent ~aq; have found smaller,
underfunded envi¢nmental groups fighting
for the health 'and vitality of their
communI lies . These groups, known
collectively as the Environmental Justice
Movement, are creating new models of
environmental activism that challerlge current
forms of socio-economic reality and their
effect on the environment.
From Baton Rouge, LA to Los Angeles,
CA and from James Bay in the northern
reaches of Canada to Matamoros, Mexico,
groups such as the Gulf Coast Tenants
Organizing Project in New Orleans, originate
by defending their communities from toxic
or nuclear waste disposal projects, unwanted
development, or resource extraction projects
(i.e. drilling, clear-cutting, or mining) . They
often expand to tackle larger issues of policy
making after their original goals are achieved.
Sometimes, established social justice

organizations, like the United Farm Workers.
incorporate "environmental justice" into
broader agendas of social change.
The groups are as diverse as the
communities they represent, but they share
a few common features: they usually come
from low-income communities, some have
histories of civil rights activism, and they are
responding to racism and classism derived
from environmental policy making and
corporate capitalism.
Larger environmental organizations
have had a large effect in the protection of
land and water habitat, but they have failed
to address the issues of inequity that face
many communities of color with regard to
environmental health.and safety. It is now
widely acknowledged that these issues must
be addressed if "The Big Ten" are to
accurately reflect the problems of Earth
protection that face all people. But as the
big guys debate the finer points on how to
" be more inclusive," groups allied with the
environmental justice movement continue to
quietly fight these inequities as they have for
decades:
-Concerned citizens and grassroots
activists formed The Good Road
Coalition and successfully blocked plans to
build a 6,000 acre landfill on the Rosebud
Sioux Reservation in South Dakota.
-Hazel Johnson, living in a project in
Chicago, organized a coalition of local
residents that defeated a proposal by
Browning-Ferris Indu s tries to place a
garbage incinerator in her neighborhood,
while holding a full-time job and raising three
children.
-A group of Mohawk warriors, with
support from a neighboring nation,
successfully defend their lands from the
expansion of a local golf course in Oka,
Quebec, Canada.
-A native woman, in conjunction with
local students, organizations and concerned
citizens, defends her traditional fishing
grounds on the Columbia River at Lyle, WA
from a "wind-surfing community" proposed
by a developer who lives over 2,000 miles
from the River.
There are countless more stories to tell,
and the stories are being written as fast as
anyone can write them . As is often the case
in social mQvements, the principal fighters
in the environmental justice movement have
found little time to compare notes on
pro-active strategies for the future, But there
have been a few occasions where folks have
been able to get together.
In October of 1991 , the First National
People of Color Environmental Leadership
Summit was held in Washington, D.C .
During this Summit a document called the
Principles of Environmental Justice was
drafted and unanimously endorsed by the 406
delegates present. The Principles recognize
that people of color "suffer disproportionate
victimization by environmental degradation
and a host of other forms of social, economic
and political violence." And that, "Only in
the diversity of our oppression are we able
to clearly see the pervasive pattern of
genocidal environmental racism. We
gathered to speak for ourselves and to define
the issues in our own way."
The Principles written in 1991 will
guide The People's Summit for
Environmental Justice. This summit will
take place on the Evergreen State College
campus in Olympia, WA on April 22-24,
1994. The three day event will bring people
interested in environmental activism to
Evergreen to discuss the skills and strategies
necessary to achieve environmental justice .
In a series of panel discussions and
workshops grassroots activists will address
cultural perspectives of the environment, the
environmental social crisis today, and will
provide the skills needed for cross-culturaV
community organizing.
The goal of the Summit is to facilitate
alliance building among environmental
justice movements in Canada, Mexico and
the United States in order to link local
environmental justice struggles with larger
movements in national and international
arenas. Students and concerned citizens are
encouraged to participate in workshops on
such top;cs as grant-writing. creating
non-profit organizations, cross-cultural and
community organizing, using the Freedom
of Information Act and appeals processes,
and working with media.
The invited speakers represent a wide
spectrum of the environmental justice
movement and will bring valuable
experience to empower and share with
participants. Specific issues to be discussed
include: toxic dumping, pesticide poisoning,
hydroelectric dams, water diversion projects.
treaty rights, fishing. forestry, sac red site
protection, resource extraction, and trade
issues, among others.
The Summit is being organized through
the Env-ironmental Resource Center at The
Evergreen State College and is co-sponsored
by the Women's Center, the Native Student
Alliance, the Labor Education and Research
Center, and Media Island International.

Spring Break road tunes!
by Seth "Skippy~ Long
and Rev. Andy Lyons
Spring break is just around the corner
and before all you heathens take off for Ft.
Lauderdale or Palm Springs or Kent ("party
on Stu!") we thought we'd provide you with
our Top 10 Spring Break Roadtrip CDs. Well,
nobody died and made us kings but what the
hell, here they are:
10) Urge Overkill - Saluralion .
Andy thinks that Urge is a Bloody Mary
at nine in the morning type of band, but that
doesn't discount them as fine road trip fare
as such trips can last several days . Skip thinks
that songs like "Tequila Sun" and "Stalker"
make him feel like he should be driving hellbent in a red '67 Carnaro convertible with
the wind screaming in his ears, wearing Levi
cut-offs, black Ray Bans and lots of
sunblock. Just hearing the music gives him
a hangover.
9) Neil Diamond - BeSI of Neil
Diamond
.
It's three in the morning and you ' re
driving through God's country. The
mountains and trees tower over you, the
bullet ridden deer crossing sings make you
paranoid and your traveling companion
makes an eerie sound when they sleep. Put
In "Sweet Caroline," and your troubles will
instantly vanish.
8) Metallica - Kill 'Em All
Think of the '67 Camaro convertible
that Skip was talking about for Urge Overkill.
Now think that it's three or four days into
the trip. The floor is covered with fast food
refuse, Swisher Sweet wrappers and maybe
an inch of water. At this point you hate the
person sitting next to you. Put in this band
and stick to long. straight stretches of road.
Go about 85 mph. See if the passenger door
is locked. Make your head go back and forth
real fast.
7) Body Count - Body Count
This is the one you play when The Man
comes up behind you with Sex Lights a
blazin'. (Sex Lights - because whenever
you see 'em you know someone's getting
screwed) Make certain that you don't have
one of the new "corporate friendly" versions
of this as they lack the thought provoking
track 18: "Cop Killer." Need we say more?
6) Blues Brothers - Briefcase full of
Blues
We suggest that you play this one on
those dark, lonely night drives. One shot of
Belushi and Aykroyd and your evening romp
at that cowboy bar iri Tulsa will be but a
dream.
5) Frank Black - Frank Black
Think sun. Think highways. Think
Frank (Black). This is the "Ugly American"
album that dredges up images of comfortable
white men dragging their overpaid, middleaged asses down to Central America on some
sort of Rolling Stone manhood tour. "I want
to live in Los AngeleslNot the one in south
Califomia/But the one in south Patagonia."
4) Richard Wagner - Ride of the
Valkyries
Ever see Apocalypse Now? Perfect for
those emotional trips back from her house
after the big breakup even though you drove
1,800 miles with no money in the bank and
no air in the tires just to see her. Angst.
3) Camper Van Beethoven - Our
Beloved Revolulionary Sweelheart
"Eye of Fatima" contains just about '
every element of a road tune," ...to give some
cowboys some acid and to stay in motels,"
and it's fun to sing to besides. This is a good
middle of the day, scorching hot weather, the
air conditioner doesn't work type of CD. As
an alternative, Skip suggests Cracker's first
album.
2) GoGos - Vacation
The ultimate in roadtrip bubblegum,
heads bobbing back and forth to the beat type
of music.
I) Dick Dale - Hava Nagi/a
This surf-punk version of a cultural
classic will leave you wantin' more.

Religious Society
of Friends
by Pat Castaldo
Virtual reality, lots-o-cool-computers,
neat-o hands-on play things and free
admission were some of the things that
attracted me to the Seattle Science Center's
newest permanent exhibit, Tech Zone.
Saturday was the grand public opening
of the exhibit, and it attracted quite a crowd.
Di~ney-Iand style lines wrapped around every
toy, urn, I mean, educational device.
One of the longest lines formed behind
the so-called "virtual reality basketball
game."
Virtual basketball sounds pretty
exciting, at least it did to me. Standing up,
moving and jumping around, playing
basketball against a computer, that sounds,
without being a bit geeky, fun. You have to
figure that it would at least be a little more
exciting then a Nintendo game, right?
Well... Have you watched the local
nightly news lately? The weather person has
this new gadget by which he can move the
clouds around; a magic wand of sorts. It's a
nice effect, but trivial. It doesn 't
communicate the weather any better to the
viewer.
The so-called virtual reality basketball
at the Tech Zone worked in the same way.
Contestants were equipped with a
special glove (read in weather man's magic
wand), and then sent to work in front of a
blue scr~en.
..
Everyone stood in line, chanting their
oohs and ahs as the contestant, usually some
twelve year-old brat who cut the line,
attempted to score against the computer.
This wasn't very exciting for me, or
the other college-aged persons I was with (at
all).
Nor does this technology count as
virtual reality. It's not virtually anything.
There's no high-tech equipment involved,
just a normal blue screen~ with a special
magic glove-big deal.
Perhaps the best way to describe the
Seattle Science Center's newest exhibit is to
ask you to remember some of the old ones.
You know, the exhibits from the late
70s, ones that lit light bulbs when you
pedaled, talked in Speak-n-speIlTM voices and
generally sucked - the nineties are no
different.
The computer technology stored in the
Tech Zone is not new, nor exciting and is far
from revolutionary.
Pat Caslaldo was hoping Ihal his mind
would be expanded last weekend. It was, but
the Tech Zone wasn'l responsible.
Pat will be next qll.arler:~ A&E editor,
so blame him.
A few cooking tips for week ten •••
by Sara Steffens
Yum. I ate fried powdered potato buds
for lunch today. I ate them with ketchup. The
ketchup was old and runny and fell through
the prongs of the fork. Such potatoes take a
long time to chew. Now they sit in a cold
massive blob in my stomach and I arn
feeling inspired.
In the spirit of human
endurance in the face of
hardship, I offer you: Sara's
week 10 cooking tips.
All these recipes are
based on the kind of high- .
starch,
low-cost nooperishables which traditionally
sit neglected in your cabinets
until you are totally broke.
I have also included food
preparation song suggestions, for
they will feed your soul.
Also, if you are tired,
hungry
and
wretched, why not
spread the joy of
repetitive bits
of song with
your
room .
mates
and
neighbors?
Soulwise,
these are ......._ ..........
trying
times and
bond we
must.
Things to eat
with ramen:
First, throw
away that nasty little
foil MSG packet th at
comes with every bag.
While you do this , sing "I hate you. little foil
packer. Of chemicals. You are headed for the
dumpster/compost bin ." You can make up
any tune; I suggest " Some Enchanted
Evening."
I have two preferred varieties on basic
sloppy ramen. The first is ramen soup with
egg.
Boil water. Put ramen in water. (You
can do this in your coffee maker if you don ' t
have a clean pan.) Put soy sauce and egg in
water. Let boil until egg no longer looks like
snot. Add pepper. Serves two, at about 20
cents per person.
The second is refried ramen. This is a
great way to use your leftovers.
Cook ramen and let cool. (Or, remove
. ramen leftovers from greasy tupperware
container hidden in back of fridge.) Heat
margarine or oil in a frying pan. If you have
them, add onion, egg, carrot and/or garlic.
Dump in ramen noodles. Saute until light
brown. Serves two, at about 30 cents per
person.
I have long suspected one could make
an excellent variation of Rice-Crispy
treats.or Special-K bars with dry
ramen noodles. Let me know
how your experiments work
out.
Mushy potato casserole:
Peel , cut and boil four
potatoes: Sing, "We are the
world. We:ll feed the world.
With potatoes from Top Foods;
they ' re so cheap and healthful."
Add cream of mushroom
soup to cooked potato chunks,
mix well. Put in oven-safe
dish. Add cheese and
bread crumbs to
top. Bake at about
400 degrees, until
top is brown ,
singing all the
while. Serves
four, at about
30 cents per
person if you
shop at Top
·Foods.
Carrot
soup:
Many
variations
can be made
by
inviting
people to soup
with you. Each
souper should
bring some sort of additive, such as a cup of
rice or an onion. Remember the chi ldren's
story about stone soup? It ' ll be, like, a cooperative thing.
Chop vegetables. Mostofyou will find
some carrots slowly softening in your
vegetable drawer. These make exce llent soup
fodder. If you live in a women's household,
you should si ng "John Wayne Bobbitt, John
Wayne Bobbitt," cloyingly as you chop the
carrots and other tubular vegetables.
Add all these vegetables to the boiling
water. You can also add dry stuff: rice,lentils,
split peas, beans.
Soy sauce, as much as a cup, will help
produce a flavorful broth. You might also
want to add a little margarine. Use a lot of
salt.

Alternative LiteratUi e
Super simple PB eookies:
Mix one cup peanut butter, one cup
white sugar and one egg. Scoop batter onto
greased cookie sheet. Make that cute little
cross-hatch with the back of a fork. You could
sprinkle MORE sugar on top. Cook at at least
350 degrees for ten minutes. (For Pete's sake,
don't get a nasty bacteria from under-cooked
eggs.)
While cookies bake, chant as loud as
you can, "PB for you and me; PB for you
and me." Bang your feet on the floor and clap.
Makes about a dozen.
Any pasta with white sauce:
In a small pan, melt two tablespoons
butter. Add two tablespoons flour and saute
until just brown. Add one cup of milk. stir
well. Cook until it begins to thicken. Don't
let the milk boil too much. This is called roue.
The cooking song should be something
you learned in a high-school foreign language
class, such as "Choto Mate Kudasai," or
"Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand."
Stir sauce in with cooked pasta. Also
good with basil, pepper, salt, Parmesan,
oregano and so-on. Serves several , cost
determined by amount and type of pasta, but
usually, less than 50 cents per person.
Toast with ketchup:
Just like it sounds. A great source of
vitamin C, and with basil and oregano,
surprisingly pizza-esque. Music: Mozart's
Requiem . Some people lose the pop-up
buttons on their toasters, and need to try to
time a toastish length of time while singing.
Enjoy.
