Vandalism increases
by Beth Fletcher
The cost of repairing vandalism in
Evergreen Housing during fall
quarter of this year surpassed the
total cost for all of last year's vandalism by close to $650. Rick Horn,
maintenance manager for Housing
said, "It's been a bad year."
Thi s has not, however, been the
worst year for vandalism in Housing . In. 1980-8 1, there was $2,600
wort h of damage. I f vandal ism continues at th e rate of fall quarter, it's
probable that costs could well exceed
any previou~ year. I I' that happens
rental rates for Housing will go up
in the coming years.
There are several theorie s
postulated by staff members trying
to understand the excessive amount
of vandalism this year. One theory
mentioned is tbat there are more
younger students this year.
"They don't have the skills for
confronting people," said Jeannie
C handler, assistant manager of
HOll5ing and ' Advising Services.
Horn added, "For a lot of students
it 's their first time away from home,
and they don't know how to live
with other people."
One st udent said the vanda l< 'eem
to think " it's just childish fun."
They see it as a way to release agg ression t hat might otherwise be
taken out on another person.
Students and staff agreed that it

was better to take one's aggression
out on a wall than on a person, but
pointed out t hat there are ot her, less
destructive ways of releasing tension.
Larry Savage, Camp us Security
Sergeant, suggests a walk to the
beach or beating on trees in the
woods. "They (studerit s) don't need
to release their aggression 011 the
dorms," Savage said.
Vandalism
has
decrea sed
signi ficant Iy si nce Housi ng resident s
met at the end of fall quarter to
di sc uss the problem. Residents

agreed to take more responsibility
for their actions and the actions of
those around them. Housing is planning meetings for more input,
regardless of whether excessive va ndalism occurs again.
They are aLso planning a cOlllmittee of resident s to keep an eye out
for var.dalism. T:1C commillce would
not have any HOll sin g staff on it. It
would be responsible for confronting and, if necessary, reporting
van dal s.

sc hools . Overall I was pleased with
our per[ormance."
If Fletcher was pleased with hi s
team's performance Friday mght, he
was really pleased with the results of
Sat urday's meet. The Evergreen
women posted their first win of the
season. The score was Evergreen 64,
Pacific 55, and Linfield 53. Shawn
Blaisdell took three first s in the 50
back, 100 breast, and in the one

meter diving. Tina Bauer also had a
strong night with two first place
finishes. Martha Grazier contributed
wit h a first and an important seco nd
in the 50 free'. "I was really impres5ed with Mary Beth Berney's performance," said Fletcher. "She swam
the 500 free, a long, exhausting race
and then turned ri g ht around and
swam the next event, the 100 back.
We needed the points and she really
came through, finishing seco nd. I
was reallv proud of her."

Because of growing enrollment, a
desi re for extended weekends, and
ot her considerat ions, classroo m
scheduling has become a problem.
These scheduling problems have
raised question s about Governance
day. Should Governance day be ,
o nce again, a day set aside solely for
administration? If so, who will enfurce compl iance?
Presently, John Perkins , Dean of
radlit ies, is urging faculty members
to honor Governance day. While
most faCility memhers wholeheartedly , upport this day, a few still request
c1a ssti me on Wedncsday. According
to Ihe Washington Administrative
Codc, "Evergree n must have an
acknowledged 'governance day so
that administ rat ive responsibilit ies of
th e community members will not inter!'ere with the productivity, service,
and creativity o f the campus." It is
a day for "fac ult y meeting.s, OTF's,
and ,ta nding commillees." T he
W!\C go", on to slat c, "No pe nn a nent "heduling of classes or lab,
,hall be held on Wednesday prior to
5 p. m . Temporary scheduling of da y
time c1a"es may be made on approva l of t he academic deans."

Vandalism

Fire cleanup beginsFire chief nixes lofts
by. Kurt Batdorf
The January 13th fire in C-dorm
that damaged the third floor will
take· three to six weeks to clean-up
and repair, according to Rick Horn,
Housing Maintenance manager.
The fire in apartment C 314 has
displaced, for the next six weeks, the
five residents who lived there. The
five residents of C 303, whose
apartmenr suffered smoke damage,
will be displaced for three weeks.
C hief Bob Allen of the McLane
Fire Department estimates the
damage at $75,000, exclusive of perso nal belongings. He sa id the fire's
preliminary cause was candles left on
the 1100r that ignited combustibles
within the middle bedroom of the
apartme nt .
But Horn and Ken Jacob, director of Auxiliary Services, disagreed
on Allen's damage est imate. Horn
., aid that t he damage was "co nside rabl y more than $75,000."
Jacob estimated the damage at
$125,000 to $ 150,000.. All agreed
that the college's insurance company
and the fire inspector have to determine the final costs. Jacob expects
the estimate by January 24th.
Jacob said c hanges in Housing
policy may occur because of the lIre.
Combustibles such as firecrackers"
arc already prohibited o n campus,
and that ban may extend to· candles.
Jacob sai d that several other colleges
arou nd the country a lready ban
ca ndles.
Housing Maintenance checks the
a larm sys tem s in all dorm buildings
monthly, and goes through an annual inspection with the fire
depart ment.
Allen told Jacob that t he fire
damaged room mct fire codes.
Richard Johnson, an employee of
Housing Maintenance, said that all
01 the apa nm cn t '.I fire sa fet y equipment worked exactly as designed. He
said th a t the smoke alarm docs not
go oil until it detects smoke. The

The consequences of vandalism
are serious. If caught, vandals are
cited by Security in conjuction with
the Thurston County Sheriff's
Department, and may be forced to
appear in court. In that case, the
violation would go on a person's
permanent record.
Those who aren't caught still pay
for it indirectly. Maintenance spends
an average of six to eight hours a
week cleaning up after vandals, time
that could be spent providing better
maintenance serviee for all residents,
according to Horn. For minor vandalism, such as graffiti, Maintenance
uses student labor ai $6 an hour, to
clean it.
But if technical or mechanical expertise.is needed t<l repair damage,
_"'-....J the labor cost rises to about $17 per
hour. Added to that is the cost of
materials
needed to repair the

Horn .

No one appears to know what the
solution is. The meeting last quarter
seemed to help; more student
awareness would probably do some
good.
Savage stresses that residents need
to "become concerned." A major
part of the problem is that no one
wants to report who's doing the vandalism. Telling on someone is, as
one student put it, "just something
you don't do." Another person added, "There's a lot of trust here at
Evergreen. No one at those parties
ever said 'stop doing it.' People tend

To the Editor,
I have just returned home after attending the Ujamaa-sponsored
celebration of the birthday of Dr.
Martin Luther King and tribute to
Bishop Desmond Tutu.
It was a most inspir ing event. The
Ujamaa Society is to be congratulated. The speakers and musicians without exception contributed
to what Representative Wineberry
referred to as "recharging the batteries." Not too many people could
have come away from the presentation without a sense of renewal and
rededication to the cause of justice
and peace .
Thank you, Ujamaa, speakers and
musicians for a real " happening" on

Peace.

To the Editor:
In his excellent letter in support of
the continuation of Wednesday as
Governance Day at Evergreen, Eric
Smith stated that Dean John Perkins
is considering the elimination of
Governance Day because there is
"not enough student participation to
justify cllmpus space not being utilized." While it is clear that student
participation in governance is at a
lower than desirable level, I believe
that John Perkin's reasons for exploring the possibility of eliminating
Governance Day are more complex
than that. As academic dean in
charge of facilities, John's job is to
find the best use of college space for
his area: academics. Elimination of
Wednesday as Governance Day and
the establishment of three separate
two-hour periods at other times in
the week is just one of the possible
changes currently being considered.
Dean Perkins has said that he is
truly interested in receiving comments and suggestions on the Governance Day issue and will proceed
based on the input he receives. If you
have strong feelings on this issue one
way or the other, please give him a
call (ext. 6870) or send him a note
(Lib. 2211).
This is also a good opportunity to
urge you to becme involved in governance while you are an Evergreen
student. A seat on the Services and
Activities Review Board (better
known as the S&A Board) gives you
the opportunity to help allocate stu-

dent fees collceted from each student
each quarter. There is a total of approximately a half million dollars
available each year to fund .tudent
organizations and student services.
No small task, but definitely a satisfying one.
Disappearing Task Forces
(DTF's) are temporary committees
drawn together to set specific
Evergreen policies. Participation as
a student member on a DTF allows
you to have an active voice in determining policies ranging from affirmative action 10 athletics, from
childcare to computers at Evergreen.
The list is lengthy. There are also opportunities fQr you to be a member
of any of the following standing
committees on campus: Enrollment
Coordinating Committe, Longhouse
Advisory Committee, Infraction
Review Commiltee, Faculty Hiring
Committee, Enviornmental Advisory Board, Copyright and Patent
Board , CAB Use Advisory Board,
Production Clearance Board, Student Co mmunication s Board, Day
Care Advisory Board, Visual Envio rnment Group, Athletics Advisory Board and t he Evergreen
Board of Tru stees .
I f you are interested in exploring
any of these possibilities, please give
me a call at ext. 6220, or stop by
CA B 305 so we can talk.

Dear Dan and Slade: Stop it
An Open Letter to Senator Evans and Senator Gorton: •
As a law-abiding citizen, I feel it incumbent upon myself to share the following information with my
ejected officials.
'
According to the Legal Aid Office of the Catholic Archdiocese of San Salvador, the average number
of killings by death squads in EI Salvador (that is, killings by paramilitary groups not in uniform) during
the first six months of 1983 was 135 killings per month. For the first six momhs of this year, how~ver.
this figure had fallen considerably, to an average of 31 killings per month. (All of these murders have
gone unpunished.)
,
By way of explanation, the Americas Watch/ Lawyers Committee for International Human Rights report,
Free Fire (August 1984) says: "We altribute the reduction in death squad killings in large part to pressure
exerted by the United States embassy in San Salvador during the past nine months. A highlight of that
pressure was Vice President Bush's December II, 1983, meeting with 31 top leaders of th e S·<llvadoran
Armed Forces in which the Vice President apparently made explicit and force ful statement s that u.S. military
aid would slOp un less abuses were curbed.
"Our findings indicate tha t pressure from the United States is vital-far more important than we prev iously
reali zed- in shaping human rights practices in EI Salvador. For nearly three years the U.S. repeatedly denied
government responsibility for such abuses as death squad killings." During which time tlie count of civilians
who were being dragged from their hou ses and cruelly murdered rose from th e thousa nd s int o literally
the tens of thousands.
When we speak of civilians killed by uniformed govelO/lment forces. however. the figurcs have declined
but slightly. Accordiing to the Legal Aid Office. a 1110mhly average of 222 civilians were killed by the
a rmed forces for each of the first six months of thi s yea r, while an ave rage of 286 persons were killed
in a similar period in 1983.
(For those who ha ve put th eir faith in President Duarte's ability to radically change this situatiorr:-Jl
important to point Otit that in his first month in office: 163 non-combata nts were killed by the arm
rccs,
69 were abducted by the police, and 9 were killed by death sq uad s. In .Iul y, there was a ma"acre in Ca ban;"
province in which, according to eye-witnesses. 6R civilians- mostl y womL'n and ch ildr en - we re shot allli
killed by the U.S. -train ed and equipped Atlacatl battalion.)
While acknowledging the decline in the number of death sq uad killing~ and other improvements. the
Americas Watch report cautions, ..... we beli eve that the overall ., iluation m1l5t be con~ id ered in the light
o f the indiscriminate allad.- by the Salvadoran armed forces on civilian noncombatant s in connict zo ll es.
Thousands of noncombatants are being kill ed in indi scr iminate attacks by bombardment from the a ir .
shelling and gro und sweeps. rhousands more arc being wounded. And hundreds of thou sands are bein g
driven from their homes and forced into the miser y of di splacement.
"As best we can determine. these a·ttack s on civilian non -CO l11batanb in conflid I.ones are pari o f a
deliberate policy . .. " (Author'S emphasis)
In bears repeating that these indiscriminate attacks and particularly the bombings are made possible
only through the continued complicity of the United States government. The bombs, planes, and training
of the Salvadoran air force are all supplied by the United States-and the target s are selected by U.S. reconnaissance flights.
I ask: Is the United States government going to wait three years before it acknowledges these tragic and
illegal purposeful attacks on the civilian population?
Does invoking "National Security" and "Vital Interests" mean that international law-and in particular
the Geneva Conventions prohibiting bombing of civi lian targets-is no longer applicable to the United
States and its allies?
I have no doubt but that Senalors Evans and Gorton personally abhor the participation of the Salvadoran
military in death squads, and that they condemn the indiscriminate bombing of civilians. Yet, by consistently voting for more military aid to this regime, and by not speaking out against these atrocities, they
are in fact lending their consent.
I believe it would not be unreasonable to recall the guiding principle of the Nuremberg trials: when an
official is faced with knowing cooperation in a criminal act, it is his duty to follow the dictates of his conscience, whatever the consequences may be.
.
In Ihe light of this overwhelming evidence of crimina l acts by the Salvadoran government, I urge Senators
Evans and Gorton to seriously reconsider their support of military aid to the government of EI Salvador.
Respect fully,
Michael Harburg

They say it divinely
by Susan Allen
When I was six and seven, I enjoyed reading nursery rhymes. I
could read most of them easily, and
their simple, direct language evoked clear and delightful images. One
nursery rhyme, however, always
bothered me. It went, "Tom, Tom,
the piper's son, stole a pig and away
he run. The pig was eat and Tom
was beat, which sent him howling
down the street." Who ate the pig?
Who beat Tom? Did th e same pcrso n who ate the pig also beat Tom?
If so, was that fair? This was my
first encounter with what Richard
Mitchell calls Divine Passive in hi s
book, "Less Than Words Ca n Say."
Divine Passive is a voice thai
decla res action in a se nt ence an Act
of God. In active voice, Tom stole
a pig. In passi ve voice, a pig was
stolen by Tom. In lJivine Passive
(voice), a pig was stolen . Like a bolt
of li gh tnin g, the event just "happens." The author doesn't assign
an y rcsponsibility for th e act, he
gives the reader only half the , tory.
Besides making a nursery rhyme
bothcrsome. Divine Passive a lso
obscures important information.
"Food prices were raiscd Iwenty percen t this month.·' Who or what raised them? .. food prices were raised
twenty percent this month by
wholesalers." That is better. but the
passive voice remains. The sentence
lack s energy. It is monotonous and
awkward. "Wholesalers raised food
prices twenty percent this month."
Why not say so in the first place?
Divine Passive coaxes the reader

to allow the author a "given." It appears to give complete information,
"Food price's were raised." Divine
Passive is a lot like They. You know
what They say, and They are always
right.
Divine Passive is dangerous. It is
dangerous because the reader will
not usually ask who is acting. It is
considered rude to ask, "Sez who?"
Did you catch that? Who considers
it rude? I, the author' The Reagan
administration? They? The su bject
of the sentence is absent. Byasserting , in passive voice, " It is considered rude by bureaucrats to
say,'Sez who?', " I let you know
who "co nside rs ." But again, the
se nten ce is monotonous and
aw kward . Rather, I should write,
"Bureaucrats consider it rude to say,
'Sez who?'" However, by using
Divine Passive, th e actor remains an
anonymous force considering ac tions rude , raising prices, or believing Elvis ha s really bcen kidnapped
by aliens.

Divine Passive is also dangerous
because it sounds official. "Grain
shipments to Ethiopia have been
temporarily delayed. " I f this ran
along the bottom of my television
screen while I was watching "Martin at the Movies," I would accept
it as fact. I may not even wonder
who had delayed the shipment s or
who released the information . The
se nt ence "tells all" without tellin g
the most important part; who is
delaying.
PE E VE OF THE WEEK - When
someone says, "Hopefully, I will get
home tonight." he is trying to say,
"I hope I get hom c tonight."
However, what he ac t ually is saying
is, "In a hopeful manner, I will get
home to ni ght . " Though this may be
a welcome revelation to whomever
wi ll greet him when he gets home.
it is lIot what he meant to say.
"Hopefully" should only be used tv
mean "with hope, in a hopeful manner." (okay, Nancy?) Send your

Phil Anderson called last quarter
" the best three months of my life,
educationally," Minds are at work
in Utopias: Alternative Societies in
Thought and Practice, a two quarter
program taught by Stephanie
Co o nt 7 and Mark Levensky,
La'! quarter the thirty-two

L~vcnsky, with three 'degrees in
philosophy, was in his field of exper- .
tise. He le<.:tured each week 011 the
I?epuhlic and Coont z lect ured on the
111Slory of social order. Levensky
taught "people how to make use of
the texts not only for learning about
the past, but for reflecting on our
own li ves." Hi s most important
question was, "When a person lives
with a large number of other people,
what is necessary for a good life?"
Coontz added to the program
some perceptions of Plato that peopic trained in philosophy might not
notice. She said by looking "from
a historical poim of view as well as
a logical and philosophical point of
view we got more insight than if we
hadn't had bot h di sciplines to work
with,"
Thome George , a second -quarter
student in Utopias, took the class to
a nsw '~ r the questions, "wllal IS Inc

He said the program was "a rare occasion landl valuable," While still in

Hibbard and George agreed that

put it, they were looking at "visions

this with the idea that "if we knew

to, Iwe could] move toward ]it!."
Stephen Beck took the class

Another student, Phil Anderson,

When asked if this program changed him, he replied, "I'm happier,"
This quarter the class begins with
a study of the Peasant's Revolt of
I ]81 in England. They will then read
Thomas More's Utopia (the Latin
word mcaning 'no place'), They will
weave together the philosophical and
histori cal record of the fourteenth
century by studying various events,
Then they will study seventeenth
century history and read locke,

Historian Winstanley, and Defoe's
Robinson Crusoe. The class will
discuss a person ',s proper relationship to personal properly, while considering the effects of personal property on the individual and his-her
socie'ty, and they will also discuss
how people's relationships toward
property have changed over time,
Coontz asserted that a person's relationship to property is "critical in
deciding the kind of society, morali ty. and social relationships,"
Coontz stressed that people must
"understand that life need not be so
fragmented into different disciplines
or compartments of life, We are getting insight into how it was when
politics and religion could not be
separated. "
Hibbard agreed lhat ihis quarter

sa id," It seems more confused and
scattered, Students must follow their
own interest as a focus and connect
things to thaL Last quartt'I, Plato
was the focus," George, realizing the
complexity of the assignments, said
.. the program seems a lot harder
than last quarter, One reason is that
there are ten texts; last (1uarter there
was only one Iprinci : 'al) text."
Anderson said. "There is so much
information that it's impossible to
fall back on normal thoughts, I'm

being forced to think different
thoughts. "
Coontz said the students must
learn tolerance , "We don't give
answers, [Students) must care
enough to develop their own
answers, Even though thll1gs are ambiguous, not black and white,
students must say, '[ do have a point
of view.' "
The class is a success, Stephen
Beck said, "[ 'm a good deal more

Dr, Martin Luther King's birth- '
day was commemorated at
Evergreen Monday, January 14th, at
a program presented by The Ujamaa
Society, the school's black students'
group, Entitled From Civil Rights to
Human Rights,' 'Struggles Against
Oppression', the program featured
keynote speaker Rep, Jesse
Wineberry, from the 43rd District,
In his address, Wineberry announced for the first time pub licly,
his intention of introducing a resolution to make January 15th, King's
birthday, a paid state holiday.
Wineberry, the youngest person to
be elected to the state legislature and
the first black Hom the 43rd District,
also spoke on the current state of
civil rights. He said, "We are struggling against zenophobia. We were
in the sixties, and we are now,"
He went on to warn that the
"Community and Country" consciousness of the sixties has been
replaced with the "cash, cars,
clothes, condos, and corporate ladders" of the eighties, "With every
rung on the corporate ladder we
must be willing to reach back and
give something back to the community." said Wineberry. ·
Opening the commemoration was
Ernest L. "Stone" Thomas, director of Educational Support Programs at Evergreen, After ask ing the
audience to join hands, he gave a
benediction addressed to the "Great
Spirit. "

brings real jazz

A Passage to India marks the
by Rob Dieterich
Allen Youngblood and the Puget
Sou nd will play two fine jazz concerts tom morrow night at 7:30 and
10 p.m. in Evergreen's Rec ital Hall.
If the name of a particular we ll
known contemporary jazz artist
arouses your intcrest, be aroused.
Drop great jazz names ncar this
group and the names will probabl y
bounce. Youn gb lood and the Puget

10 form the group, Pugel Sound. He
wrote the music and played piano
for the LP. It was a local eHort :
Sealtle area musicians recording in
Seattle for Griot, a record label
based in Seattle. However, the talent
is world class.
With a slight ly different lineup
from the album (bassist Gary
Peacock is elswhere, Olympia
trumpeter Barbara Donald has been
added), Allen Youngblood and the
Puget Sound will play two shows
here Friday.
Donald on trumpet, Hadley
Cali man on Tenor saxaphone, and
Julian Priester playing trombone,
will make up the front line. Barbara
Donald's group, Unity, and Dave
Holland's · group featuring
Priester - have been attracting attention to the Northwest. These
groups have growing reputatioris as
jazz innovators.
In a recent interview, Allen
Youngblood touted the talent living
locally. But, he added that opportunities to see these people perform
are fairly infrequent. He hopes to
help change that.
The shows will be at 7:30 and 10
p.m. in the recital hall. Free
childcare will be provided in Lib.
3221 for the 7:30 show. Tickets cost
$4.50 for students, faculty, alumni
and seniors, and are $6 for general
admission. Tickets are available at
Cracker's restaurant , Rainy Day
Records, and TESC Bookstore, or
at Ihe door.
Allen Youngblood believes thal
people want to understand and identify with jazz. BUI they are frustrated
because they rarely receive the real
thing - a live with daring and improvisation. H e says, "usually Ihey
get t he watered down versio n." Not
this time we hope.

triumphant return of director David
Lean after a 14 year absence. Well
known for past epics such as Dr.
Zhivago and Lawrence (~r Arabia,
his latest effort will not disappoint
his fans. Far from it; A Passage 10
India is a magnificent film. It s
greatness lies in the synthesis of its
elements, all of which hold their own
- superb performances, beautiful
evocative cinematography, and a
notable script adapted from the
novel by E. M. Forster.
The plot itself is deceptively simple. Two British women, Mrs.
Moore [Peggy Ashton) and her prospective daughter ~in-Iaw Adela
Quested [Judy Davis) arrive in India.
They are greeted by Ronny [Nigel
Havers), Mrs. Moore's son. They
also find British isolationism and
prejudices, which they apparently
weren't prepared for. Surrounded by
the physical magnificence of India
the two women find themselves in a
society patterned unpleasantly ·o n
that of London - replete with
cucumber sandwiches at high tea,
and polo games for entertainment.
When Mrs . Moore mentions she
wishes to m~t Indian people socially, she is told it just isn't done. Says
one countrywoman, "East is East,
and West is West - it's a question
of culture . you know." For Mrs.
Moore it is a moral outrage; for Miss
Quested an inconvenience which
thwarts her desire to "experience the
real India" as she so breathlessly
puts it.
They do, however, finally meet an
Indian, young Dr. Aziz, Victor
Banarjee plays Aziz to perfection .

Within his character the tensions
between East and West crystallize.
He is an educated Indian , yet forced
to remain subservient, just as India
was to Britain. Flattered by the at tentions of the white women, and
characteristically eager to please, he
invites them on an expedition to the
mysterious Marabar caves. In the
days before the trip, director Lean
bui ld s towards a climax. We see
cutaways of a growing sun, pulsating
with pure white heat. The differences between the British and the
Indians become increasingly disturbing, as Adela and Mrs. Moore
become increasingly defiant. Finally the momentum is irresistable, and
at the caves there is a careen ing
toward confrontation. What actually occurs is ambiguous. During an
eerily f ilm ed sequence Adela
becomes lost in a cave, ·and
something happens. Something real,
or something within Adela's imagination - Lean leaves us to decide
for ourselves. What follows is a trial,
and Aziz is accused of rape.
The trial is an outlet for the tension Lean has been building
throughout the film, and the resentment felt by the Indians towards the
British begins to surface. The chaos
of India, of the millions of people
held in abeyance by a few, begins .
bursting into the open, threatening
to break into riots.
Although the outcome of the trial
offers some resolution, the underlying crises in the film - tensions between East and West - are never
completely untangled. India is a vast
and complicated country, and the
movie reflects this.

unnatural one. Dwarfing one with
architecture and technology, the role
and fate of p~ople in that setting is
very unstable - a reflection of the
·spirit of the German people at the
time.
The protagonist in Metropolis is
the son of the leader of a fantastic
futuristic city. A member of the elite
class, he lives a rather soft existence
until he meets the starved and overwrought workers who run the
massive machinery and live in the
drab undercity. The young man
notices that the restlessness of the
workers is at a dangerous pitch and
that he, with t he help of an
evangelistic young woman, is the only one able to bring both classes of
the city toget her , thus saving it.

and the flames touched the heart
of the stone

and the river of fire became an iron wheel
and the people
named the iron wheel progress
and set it rolling towards the sun

"Ou.r nuclear arsenal will, if allowed to reach an effective level of deterrence, completely prevent any
pOSSible exchange of warheads. Without these options, however , there is no guarantee of our being able

i grew up with a gun at my side
and a horse between my thighs .
i grew up with peyote dreaming woman
and billy goai man
i wasn't the eagle
i was the crow with its raucous yell
i wasn't the spring blooming rose
i was the blackberry
free growing thorns and all.
i was ·Jesse James
butch cassidy
lonely on the prarie at night
i wasn't the wolf
i was t he coyote
on its scavenger prowl.
