Evergreen closing enrollment
by Traci Viklund
Effective February 8th. Evergreen
will close enrollmenl to new studenls
seeking admission spring quarter. In
addition. no new special students
(non-degree-seeking) will be admitled . Those special students already
alleilding the college will be allowed to continue, providing they complete the admissions process and
become degree-seeking .. _
"For Ihe firsllime in Evergreen's
reeeni history, the college is overenrolled," said Joe Olander. "AI
lasl! Yetthi, happy news brings wilh
il a difficuh problem."

Closing enrollmenl is the lemporary solulion 10 whal looks like a
long-Ierm and conlinuing problem .
II is a problem which affects all
students, especially those registering
for next quarter.
The Academic Fair occurs March
6th. Registration lakes place March
7 and 8, and I I and 12 . New
sludenls regisler March \3.
Gail Marlin, Dean of Siudeni
Enrollmenl Services, says "Competition for openings in programs is
fierce ... it behooves every continuing sludenr 10 register as early as
possible. "

Tuition freeze falters
by Charlie Campbell
Studenl leaders plugged a luition
rreeze to Gov . Bool h Gardner Friday while abolll 50 students oUlside
the Governor's office listened 10
rcpresenlalives run down Ihe bill's
.:hances of passing.
Evergreen sludenls composed
aboul half the crowd. The freeze bill
would stop Evergreen's luition from
rising from $1,017 to$1.212 forresidenl undergraduates.
Gardner mel sludenl leaders in his
conference room while Speaker of
Ihe House Wayne Ehlers,D-Pierce
County, and Rep. Ken Jacobsen,
D'-Seallle. spoke 10 students in Ihe
Capilol rotunda.
All Ihree polilicians said Ihey are
sympathet;' 10 Ihe sludcnl 's cause
bUI added Ihal money is scarce .
The rally ran inlO problems two
days before Ihe event when a group
or sludenls dislribuled rally Ilyers
prillled under an official Evergreen
letterhead. Evergreen's College Relalions quickly ordered Ihe sludem s to
recollect the flyers.
"We' re a · Slale agency, and we
can'l be supporling polilical evenls
or editorializing," said Keilh Eisner,
College Relation's information
sredalist.
Volunleers
scurried
over
Evcrgreen's campus pulling hundreds of flyers off bulletin boards
and from under windshield wipers
and clipping off the letterheads.
The second disappoimment 10 rally organizers came Friday when Ihe
Chairman of Ihe Senale Education
Commillee, Marcus Gaspard. DSumner,put off hearing of Ihe luilion freeze bill, Senale Bill 3142,
because of the absence of Sen . Nita
Rinehart, D-Sealtle. a co-sponsor of
Ihe bill. Rinehart missed Ihe meeling
to be wilh her son, Mike. who was
hil by a car .
The m'eeling was not a complete
loss for the sludenrs. The commitlee gave a "do pass" recommendation 10 Ihree Olher bills supported by
rally participanls:
- a bill 10 increase the percentage
olluilion and fee waivers from Ihree
to four percelll of Ihe 10lal amount
of luilion and fces collected by community colleges.
.
- a bill 10 allow slUdellls enroll ed for one credit to pay for one

also would allow studenls 10 take
more Ihan 18 <:redils wilhoul paying
extra.
- a billihal would waive tuition
and fees for foreign sludenls and
promolc reciprocal waivers for
Washinglon Sludenrs in foreign
schools.
All three bills pass into the Senale
Ways and Means Commillee.
The weather also thinned IlIIen dance al the rally. Up 10 five inches
of fresh snow on Ihe roads delerred
many would be rallyers from coming from schools outside Ihe Olympia area.
In Olympia Ihe slreets dcared early and Ihe sun broke OUI on I he
dazzlingly while Capilol campus.
While drifts capped the ledges on the
Capilol building. The invigoraling
morning promised 10 bring a good
IUrn0ul rrom Evergreen, evenlhough
all the core programs allem!ed a
galhering to learn aboul how other
cultures celebrate food.
However, by the rally's 2 p.m.
slarl, Ihe over 200 people al the comparable worlh rally - which preced ed the st udenl rally .- had I rampled Ihe snow inlo a gray slush that
matched the hood of gray clouds
thai moved in. Sleet began 10 rattle
on Ihe Capilol's gray marble steps
as the small crowd fihered inside 10
sil on the sleps under Ihe dome.
Oddly, neither of Ihe two
legislalors Ihal spoke are sponosors
of Ihe luilion freeze bill - and
neil her seemed hopeful of its
success.
Before the rally Ehlers had said,
"I was invited 110 Ihe rally) 10 give
a candid poinl of view,"
He did.
Chairman Ehlers broke Ihe bad
news by first explaining the eomplexily of Ihe budgel proccess 10 the
group. He slressed the difficuhy of
making revenue prediclions.
He said, "June 30, 1987, whal will
the budget be like? Thal's tough 10

Swimmers sink, divers rise

Las t Thur sda y the Geoducks
trave led eas t of the mountains for a
doubl e dual meet with Centra l
Was hington University and Whit man Co llege. Losing to . both
schoo ls, the Evergreen swimmers
still raced hard and enthus iastically.
"We didn't let the score bother us, "
comme nted Coac h Bruce r:letcher,
"We kept our en thusiasm up and
showed a lot or team spirit."
Centra l' s men scored 95 point s
aga in st Evergreen's 17 , while the
Whitman men rinished with 7R to
Evergreen's 38. Evergreen' s women
scored 21 points against Central's 87
and 24 against the Whitman women
who a lso put 87 points up on the
board.
" We knew Centra l would be
tou g h," sa id Fletcher. " Their men
were the NAIA national cham pions
last year and their women were rank-

ed fifth nationally; it was Whitman's
strength that surprised us. I had
hoped we would ,have a closer meet
with them."
Even though the Geoducks placed well back in the scoring, they had
a strong night diving . In both the
one meter and three meter event s
Shawn Blaisdell (senior) finished in
first place against Central and in second against her Whitman competitors. Blaisdell scored a career
high 181 poi nt s in the one meter
eve nt and 161 points ror the three
meter, J.R . Baldwin (sophomore)
held his own in the men's division,
capturing second place against Whit man in both events and third against
Central. Baldwin scored 173 points
in the one meter and 141 points in
the three meter board event.
The Geoduck's next meet is at

Piece of my mind

by Margot Boyer

r r you have a minor emergency
and plan to have insurance cover the
cost of treatment, don ' t bother going to West~ide Minor Emergency
Center . They will accept cash,
checks, and credit cards, but not
most insurance plans.
Evergreen
st udent
Pablo
Fernandez-Zardain found out the
hard way aftcr he severely cut his
finger while rixing his bagpipe last
week. When a student manager rrom
A "oorm drove him to the Westside
Center, he discovered that they
would not accept the Hartrord Insurance Plan. He was treated at the
newly opened 'Black Hills Hospital.
Susan Kafnoff of the Westside
Center said that they will accept
Washington Medical Coupons,
County Medical Insurance, and
Visa, Mastercharge or cash payment. Thev will a ls o treat
. work-related injuries which are
covered by Workmen's Compensation . She said that because most insurance plans send payment directly to the patient, they have had trouble collecting debts which were to be
paid by insurance. They have only
recent Iy begun to accept credit cards.
Pablo, a Spanish citizen who was
educa ted ror six years in Eng land,
finds this typical of American health
care practices. "That's the way
things a re done in this country where
th e dollar is kin g," he said.

like Christmas, there is always next

Burris also voiced his "concern
about the gap that exists between the .
amount of financial assistance needed by many students and the amount
available for d isbursement."
Evergreen student Hoover
Chambliss also spoke. He is head of
the black students' group Ujamaa.
Before the rally, Chambliss listed
his concerns:
"First, access for all who want to
pursue higher education, with no
legislative restrictions.
"Second, affordable tuition.
"Third, that the Legislature continue to provide funds for students
in need through basic grants and tui- .
tion waivers."
Chambliss said because of
Evergreen's nearness to the Capitol,
its students have a responsibility of
being present at hearings and sessions that involve higher education.
"There are a multitude of bills on
each issue that have been discussed
here todav. If we don't let the

disappointing because we spent
money to get them down here to
carve the pole to show the students,
It was to publicize the longhouse
project and to let people know we're
serious and we do want a
longhouse. "
The longhouse project has been an
on-going plan, inspired by Native
American Studies raculty member
Mary Hillaire to build a longhouse
on the school's property in accordance with the school's Cultural
Literacy emphasis . The pole was to
be located on the longhouse si te and
. eventually to serve as either a center
pole or entrance pole for the
longhouse.
The fate of the pole is now witfi
the longhouse committee who have
the option or commissioning a
carver to do the work. The current
market rate for carving poles, according to Wessel, runs $500 to $1,000
a foot . The cost of carving the tenroot pole would be a lot more than
the $500 spent to have the K'san
Carvers do the work.

Eric Smith invited Chambliss to
speak and organized Evergreen's
participation in the rally. Smith is
Evergreen's S & A coordinator and
represented Evergreen in the audience with Gov. Gardner. Smith
told Gardner Washington's competitiveness in Pacific Rim trade
relies on quality higher education.
The day , before the rally Smith
said, "This is a unified statement
from colleges state-wide that it's
time to reinvest in higher education,
rather than disinvest."
After the rally Smith said, "There
were a lot of people that were going
to come down [to the rally] bu!.. .."
He motioned to the sleet turning to
rain outside.
Rob McKenna, University of
Washington's student body president , told Gardner that tuition and
class sizes are increasing while the
number or classes taught by full professors is declining along with the
general quality of higher education.
Gardner is qouted in last Saturday's The Olympian as saying to the
student leaders, "I care. I care deeply about why you're here. Education
is what it's all about. Your points
make em inent sense. But I ,h ave to
write a budget. If I put more money
into higher education, I have to take
away rrom someplace else. Where?"
Rob McKenna had anticipated
this. He is qouted in University of
Washington's The Daily, November
21,1984, as saying, "They'll say 'If
your want more money for the
university , where should we cut.'
That's not our job. That's what
they're elected to do ."
The relevant history or the LUit ion
rreeze issue goes back to 1976 when
the Council ror Postsecondary
Education recommended to the
Legislature that a student's tuition
should cover one-fourth of the total
cost or educating a student at
research universities, one-fifth at the
regional universities and Evergreen,
and one-sixth of the cost at community colleges. The schools
operated under these percentages until 1981 when t he Legislature tied tuition to cost of educat ion at one-third
of the cost for the research universities, one-fourth at the regional
universities and Evergree n, and
slightly under one-rifth at community colleges.
Every two yea rs the total cost or
teaching a student is calculated at
each school. The student will pay in
the ne xt two years a percentage of
the total cos t of educating a student
the last two years ,
Tuition for universitie s in
Washington is near average, but the
state contribut es less per student
t han most states,
The tuition rreeze bill would hold
tuition at current rates until , as costs
go up, t he percentage or th e cos t
payed by student s recedes to
pre-1981 level s.

THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL

Opinions presented in ignorance
are non-productive and damaging to
rational discu~ion . Ms. Thome did
not do the Evergreen community a
service by offering hers.
Francisco A. Chate!,ubriand
Class of '84

To the Editor,
Your article and editorial on
Securitiy'S reclassification proposal
did a grave di sserv ice to a very important issue. Ms, Thome's hysteria
was unwarrant ed and unsubstantiated by any of the so-c alled facts
presented in either piece
Ih the page one story, It takes Ms.
Thome some nine paragraphs to get
to the hean of the story, namely
GUNS ON CAMPUS. This should !
have been the lead since nobody,
outside of Security, cares about
raises in salary for security officers .
Her idea that this is "an aspect. ..
which should be dealt with separately" is pure delusion and is, in fact,
not dealt with separately.
But that's small potatoes. Lets get
to the editorial on page three. Ms.
Thome asserts t hat she has "encountered unusual difficulties in obtaining interviews with the appropriate people ... and had to contend with a great deal of connicting
inrormation" which delayed her
story. Welcomt: to journalism Ms.
Thome. Conflicting information and
people not wanting to talk are
staples in a reporter's diet. But you
don't make those kind of assertions
in print without one documented example, one piece or substantiation.
Where are they?
And how can you complain about
unreliable information in one breath ,
and then state in the next paragraph;
"I find that with the information I
have gathered so far, w'hich I believe
to be true .. .. " Why do you believe
it? Why sho uld I beLeve it? Your
responsibility as a reporter is to
assume nothing on the part of the
reader. give him / her the facts and let
'em make up their own minds. An
ed itorial is no dirferent. You can
state your opinion but you'd damn
well better have something to convince your reader besides a plaintive
cry of injustice.
Finally, Ms. Thome has a number
or "concerns" that she reels compelled to share with us, presented in
the form of accusatory questions .
These questions are valid but how
much more valuable they would
have been if she had searched for the
answers and then presented us with
her findings. Most of the answers
were a phone call away (I'd be happy to provide the numbers to her if
she'd like).
I wanted to discuss the issue itself
but the length of my diatribe
prevents me from doing so. I hope
another reader took the time to address the issue, which does indeed require much discussion .

Yes to
guns
After reading over and over
the editorial by Janine Thome in
"Keep Guns Off Campus," in the
January 31st issue of the Cooper
Point Journal, I'm really puzzled by
her comments and immensely.
hoperulthat there are not too many
others that feel like she does.
The reclassifiction of the Security Department to a Police Depart ment would improve the security and
sarety or the Evergreen community.
Janine Thome wrote that the
reclassification would not tolerate
certain sill/ations in Evergreen's
liberal environment . What certain
situations is she talking about? She
says as police oFficers, they would be
obligated to uphold state laws.
Might I inform you, Evergreen is not
a commune segregated from state
laws? Even ir you are a student at
Evergreen, you still must abide by
the state laws.
Janine Thome is very much
against the issuance of handgu ns to
campus security officers. She asked
the question in her editorial "has
Evergreen really proved it self to be
so dangerous as to warrant the issuance or handguns?" I have the
answer to her question, "Yes."
Remember the Elisa Tissot
shooting? Isn't that situation
dangerous enough? I ask Janine or
any student to put themselves in
Elisa 's place in that cafeteria;
wouldn't you feel sarer knowing a
trained, qualified, armed Campus
. Police Orficer might have prevented
her death or yours?
Janine also asked that maybe martial arts would be the answer opposed to haridguns. I ask you, would
martial arts stop a bullet rrom hitt ing and killing you?
It is my opinion that the
Evergreen College Security Department's request for a reclassification
is sincerely aimed at providing you
with ' greater safety and protection
and with all truthrulness, to do their
best to eliminate tragic situations like
Elisa's· -

Coppee
nudge,
Dear Editor,
C;ould you publish your style
sheet, please. Specifically, does the
CP J allow contributors to use mal e
pronouns when rererring to men and
women collectively? Or are contributions not being ed ited ?
Examples: " ... if a student or
faculty member has a class on
Wednesday he cannot attend ... "
(excerpt from ali article by Susan
Allen and Carla Casper, em phasis
added); " .. . the author doesn't
assign any responsibility for the act,
he gives the reader . .. " (excerpt
rrom article by Susan Allen; emphasis added).
I want to know what policy
stands. If it is anachronistic, we
should chuck it. If it · is not
anachronistic, the editor needs to be
nudged.

PEEVE OF THE WEEK "com puter words," suggested by Margot
Boyer. Many word s originally
created to define computer function s
and equipment have seeped into th e
vocabulary or the jargon hungry
population. Now, one can "access"
someone else' s "input " by "interracing " with them when things ge t
"crunchy ." In other words, I can
ask someone's advice by talking to

and "crunch" have preci~e meanings
to a computer burf. To most of us,
t he meanings are not so precise.
When someone commands, "Give
me input!" what exactly does he
want ? Facts? Opinions? Pen and ink
drawings? A hot dog? Many people,
besides not understanding th e
words, feel insulted when spoken to

counseling to being simply a dropin center for lesbians and gay men.
Counseling is available not only
for gays and lesbians comfortable
with their sexual orien~ation, but
especially for individuals just "coming out" or exploring changing feelings about themselves. People
needing counseling can call in, drop
in or make an appointment to talk
to one of our staff.
The LGRC sponsors several
rap/support groups, which promote
a social atmosphere as well as a place

Wham! is ,chewy,
but packs no pu nch

She makes art a part
By Traci Viklund
"One of my goals in having the
gallery is to present art in a way
which is not intimidating. I'd like to
make art a part of people's lives in
a comfortable way," said Marianne
Partlow, owner of Marianne
Partlow Gallery.
In other words, Partlowwants to
make art more accessible to Olympians. Her gallery is located at 5th
and Washington. Together with the
Washington Center for Performing
Arts being built next door, things
seem to be looking up for the
downtown area.
Speaking with Partlow inspirIng . She has a practical,
knowledgeable approach to Acr
business, along with a contagious enthusiasm for art.
She brought many years experience with her when she settled in
O lympia. Complementing an educational background in art history, she
has also managed and worked in
galleries and museums. She taught
art 'at the University of Rhode
Island.
In Olympia she ha ~ reated a
business satisfying her need tu ~ ,
within the art realm, and is giving us
a chance to be involved in it too.
The gallery itself is very taseful.
Walking into it off the street is like
entering another world. Culture.
Refinement. Grace. Shon plush
beige carpet and fresh white walls,
towe~ing white Greek pillars, and indirect lighting set the mood and feel
of the place.
The gallery is small, yet has an il-

lusion of both intimacy and
spaciousness. The layout of the
room accentuates this feeling; its
space is segregated angularly into
separte areas without use of dividing
walk.
The connection between art and
the marketplace may seem awkward
to some people, but Partlow looks
at it pragmatically. "In buying art
you have chance to support the artist directly, and that's irn'Portant, "she said.
This is especially true of her typc
of ga llery . Partlow sells contemporary art made by living artists.
When a work is purchased, the
buyer becomes directly involved in
a nurturing process.
Quality is a top priority for
Partlow. As she sees it, "One of the
dangers is that if the market will not
support very valuable pieces, the
tendency is to gear down and sell
junk in order to stay in business.
And that's what I'm not going to do.
I do have a range of prices. I sell
prints, original prints-no reproductions, from as low as $40. So the
range is there."
"But the quality of everything I
sell is going to be high; I just won't
compromise in that way."
This month Partlow has an exhibition of watercolors and lithographs
by Kent Lovelace. There are about
30 images in the Lovelace show,
which runs through February 27.
The artist himself will be at the
gallery Saturday, the 9th, for conversation and a discussion of contemporary printmaking.

First there was bubblegum:
sweet s'ticky, and nutritionally worthless', but incredibly popular. And
then there was bubblegum music:
sweet infectious, and usually
unim;ginative, yet it, like its chewy
namesake, sells like hotcakes.
In tlie forefront of the current
bubblegum craze is Wham!, a band
of two twenty-one year old Britons,
George Michael and Andrew
Ridgley, whose sole goal is to "make
it big." They have, indeed: Make It
Big is now in the Top Five in Britain,
Canada, West Germany, the
Netherlands, Japan, and Italy, and
is number ten in the U.S. on the
strength of the platinum single
"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go."
"Wake Me Up ... " kicks off the
album with a burst of upbeat,
pseudo-Motown energy. The lyrics
are uninspired, at best ("You make
the sun shine brighter than Doris
Day"), but songwriter Michael has
obviously passed Pop Hooks 101
with honors. Some say that bubblegum -sticks in the digestive tract
for seven years; well, this hook stays
in the brain the same way.

ty (only the size of the paper is consistent), the show nonetheless ha,
some great prints.
Anton Rubey's A Strange Occurence on the Afterdeck is a great
print. Looking at this print, I fall into the vivid setting it creates. Starting with a black and white,
photographic image, every added
element - each color, each scratch,
each line of words - helps develop
and define' his setting.
From where I stand viewing, I feel
that I am on the ship looking out
over the rail at a cold gray stretch of
water and distant islands. The feeling is reinforced by the warm brown
color of the deck, and by the empty
deck chairs facing the view. (There's
a chair for me.) And it is affirmed
by the mention of ice floes. The text
suggests something shocking or
mystical since the "couple from
California, dressed in matching running clothes neglected 10 turn on
their video recorder." I n affirmation, there are strange scratches on
the deck and one scratch that leaps

The Fabulous Tropicana: R.I.P.

Michael and Ridgley when the two
were in their mid-teens, includes
more of that Spanish guitar with 'a
haunting melody. Once again, the
song is sustained by a classic hook .
A characteristic of bubblegum is
that it's enjoyable for a while, but
soon loses its flavor. Similarly, many
bubblegum bands enjoy huge success
for a short time, but then fade away
to become trivia fodder. Will
Wham! still be successful in three
years? Probably not, but in that
event, George Michael (he of the
perfect teeth) will probably be doing
commercials for sugarfree gum. Until then, three out of five dentists and
one critic recommend that you leave
the album in the store and buy the
singles. But don't take them seriously; it'll just spoil the fun .

The fourth
best film
This Valeniine's Day Thursday
Night Film is Jean Renoir's (say it)
masterpiece Rules of the Game (La
RegIe de Jeu), 1939.
Renoir (son of painter Pierre
Auguste) has long been acknowledged as one of the great innovators in
modern cinema.
At the film's opening in Paris, it
ignited a political riot. Renoir cut the
film down and re-released it to a
public not desiring to see a story with
such an outrageous opi nion of
public morals.
Its reputation has grown considerably with the passage of the
years. It has made many international critics' polls for the ten
greatest films ever made, and in 1979
it was voted the fourth best French
film since the coming of sound.
Showtimes are 7 and 9:30 p.m . at
Lecture Hall One, admission is
$1.50.

was one of the artists. His contribution, Smoke Screen, is in the portfolios . His portfolio is now being exhibited in Gallery Four.
The point of departure for these
artists was earning an MFA from the
University of Wisconsin at Madison
between 1965 and 1981. With that as
starting point, they began to design
their careers as artists. With that as
starting point, they began, in 1981,
to design a collaborative project culminating in the fifty portfolios of
editioned prints. Point of Departure
was first shown, in Madison, in fall
of 1984.
Lawry Gold went to school at
Madison from 1972 to 1976.
This collaboration makes for a

catalog.
In the catalog, some artists'
statements simply describe the printmaking method used. Others '

Stephen J. Weitz, for example, tells
