Security DTP
keeps the
status quo
by Kurt Batdorf

Part of the clear-cut at Evergreen's Organic Farm

Farm Board and trees have cleared out
by Carla Casper
The land, and the air, has been
cleared at the Organic Farm as the
final stages of the tree-cut are coming to an end.
Last year's Farm Board went
through frustrating, drawn out
discussions of whether or not the
trees should be cut, and, if so, how
the job should have been done.
The controversy surrounding the
tree-cut issue led to a change in the
organizational structure of the farm.
The changes included the elimination of the Farm Board, consolidating three different budgets into one, and hiring a farm manager.
The Farm Board members
represented Academics, S & A,
Facilities, and students' interests, but
the Board members had difficulty
mediating for all the groups who had
a stake in the farm. Academics,

Facilities, and S & A contributed
three different budgets to the farm,
which created confusion during
budgeting decisons.
"The three budgeting sources
were each buying their own
materials, and each hiring their own
personnel,"said Walter Niemiec, the
academic representative for the
board.
According to Michael Hall, Director of S & A, the tree-cut question
caused mixed reactions among the
Farm Board members.
" Some people felt strongly that
it should happen, some people
thought that it shouldn't, and some
people thought it was a complex
issue." Hall said, and the anguish of
going through the process was one
cause of the demise of the Farm
Board.
Academics took an increased interest in the farm, and last Spring

proposed to diminish student imput
and S & A involvement in the farm.
The farm is now mainly funded by
Academics, which brings all
budgeting decisions under one roof.
Some people think that the Farm
Board may have made decisions
slowly, but the farm being run by
academics does not allow for
democratic decision making.
Students no longer have the influence they used to at the decision
making level.
Niemiec, who now makes
budgetary decisions for the farm,
said that since the farm does represent so many areas on campus, the
Farm Board or some advisory commitee should be re-enacted.
Another change at the farm is the
hiring of Susan Moser as the farm
manager. She takes care of the day
to day running of the farm,

organizes the community gardens,
takes care of the farmhouse, and
various other duties.
Most people who spend time at
the farm comment that it is looking
better than ever.
The clearing of the two acre area
to allow sunlight into the garden is
now complete. The timber was sold
to the logger in exchange for some
extra clearing around the farmhouse
and the community gardens. The
clearing around the house allows for
a firebreak between the house and
the trees. The funds left over fromthe sale will go towards improvements on the farm.
The uses for the cleared area may
be include introducing livestock or
crops.
Neimiec said that "detailed planning will go on over the summer."

It looks as though Security will
maintain the status quo, at least until next fall.
The Security Disappearing Task
Force charged by Vice President for
Business Dick Schwartz reached this
decision. In the end, though, it all
came down to the budget crunch.
There were a lot of arguments
presented for and against reclassifying Security as a Police Department.
Security Chief Gary Russell claimed
that an Evergreen police force would
be more professional and have a
"more legitimate" perception by the
campus community.
Russell also said that the level of
expertise would rise, as would
morale, which is already low.
"The situation would be good for
the college in the long run," Russell
said of the reclassification.
But, with the ongoing state budget
crisis, any increase in Security's present $250,000 budget is very unlikely. With the reclassification, officers
would have to complete state police
academy training at a cost of about
$1,500, according to Thurston
County Sheriff and DTP member
Dan Montgomery.
Additionally, $1,200 to $1,500 per
year would need to be spent on a link
with other state and local police
computer networks.
Evergreen faculty and DTP
member Russ Lidman was persuaded that there may be a reason for the
reclassification, but there wasn't
enough "compelling evidence" to
make a reasonable decision. DTP
m.ember Hoover Chambliss agreed
with Lidman's view.
The DTP members generally
agreed that Security as a whole needs
evaluation and that potential alternatives need discussion. They also
agreed that Security is doing a pretty good job now, despite the low
morale.

Security gives their
side of the gun issue
by Nathan Jones
They walk their beats alone and
unarmed.
Unlike their counterparts at the
University of Washington Police
Department,
members
of
Evergreen's Campus Security are
prohibited from carrying firearms.
While many Evergreen students
believe that Campus Security should
be prevented from carrying firearms,
the officers believe they are handcuffed by the restriction.
For some community members,
the image of armed security officers
on campus would spoil Evergreen's
image as a liberal, non-violent
community.

In addition, some argue that the
presence of guns on campus would
increase the possibility of another
campus shooting. As one Evergreen
student remarked, "The more guns
around here, the more likely it is that
people will use them."
But Evergreen security officers
disagree with the objections some
students have about allowing security officers to carry firearms.
In a recent interview, Robert (Andy) Anderson, a four-year veteran of
Evergreen's Campus Security, explained why officers believe they
should be armed.
Anderson said, "We live in a

Lenoir speaks against apartheid
by Susan Arnold
Gerald Lenoir, a co-cordinator of
the Seattle Coalition Against Apartheid, spoke here recently on the
anti-apartheid movement in the U.S.
and in South Africa, and the role the
U.S. government has in South
Africa.
"Why is there such an unprecedented level of protest against
apartheid in the U.S.?" Lenoir asked, and then explained three reasons.
First, and "most important" is
"the situation in South Africa
itself." There is a "new level of
struggle in South Africa that has
never been seen in it s history,"
Lenoir explained. Students, union
workers and leaders, and religious
leaders have all joined in protest.
An example of protest in South
Africa was shown in August, 1984,
Lenoir said, when eighty percent of
Asians and Coloreds (of mixed
Black and White racial parentage)
boycotted elections that were to set
up a tri-cameral legislature c6"nsisting of three parliments: White,
Asian and Colored. The elections
were called a sham because decisions
made by the Asian and Colored

parliaments could be vetoed by the
White parliament..
Another example of the high level
of protest was shown in November,
1984, when labor leaders staged a
strike which "completely paralyzed
the economy in three days," Lenoir
related. Sixteen-thousand labor
leaders were jailed, and the government put new oppressive laws into
effect.
"This unprecedented level, of
struggle put South Africa on the
map," Lenoir said.
Contributing also to the U.S.
struggle against apartheid was the
awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize
to Bishop Desmond Tutu who is
"very committed to the struggle
against apartheid." This served to
make the situation in South Africa
more well-known.
The re-election of Ronald Reagan
in 1984 caused a heightening of U.S.
concern about South Africa, with his
cuts in social services.
"Demoralization and frustration
have set in," Lenoir said.
Jesse Jackson's campaign bid for
the Presidency "highlighted South
Africa," Lenoir said, which also
brought attention to the oppressive

'Two Thin Cracks' rates as
a madcap safari adventure
by Polly Pauw
TWO THIN CRACKS IN A
COBBLESTONE ROAD, a studentproduced theater piece, opened last
night in the Experimental Theatre.
The performance combines drama,
dance, music and mask to present a
portrait of humankind learning to
understand his/her own duality and

creative urges.
"It's just a madcap safari adventure," says Libby Wood.

violent, crime-ridden society. I don't
like it any more than you do, but we
have to face facts. Does an officer
have to get shot here at Evergreen
before someone is willing to accept
responsibility and allow us to carry
weapons?"
But, in Anderson's opinion, "If
you sat in this office for awhile,
you'd realize that there's a vast
amount of crime around here."
People who live outside the
Evergreen community, Anderson

believes, are responsible for most of
the serious on-campus crimes. For
example, just three weeks ago, two
white males picked up a female hitchhiker in Lewis County, drove her
to the Dorm Loop at Evergreen, and
restrained her in their car while one
of the males then drove the captive
female to an area nearby the
Olympia-Shelton Highway, where
they "viciously raped the female and
threatened to kill her. Both of the
rape suspects are still loose.

regime.
These things came together, he
said, "Causing the present round (of
protest) to take off in such a forceful
way."
Then Lenoir spoke about the U.S.
government's involvement in South
Africa.
"There is a claim that U.S. corporate involvement is a force for
change in South Africa.
"We disagree vehemently,"
Lenoir said. U.S. corporate involvement actually supports apartheid.
There are three reasons that the
U.S. governemnt makes this claim
and persists in propping up the
regime: profit, profit, and profit.
The availability of cheap labor in
South Africa is one of the ways the
U.S. profits. The U.S. rate of profit there is 18 percent, Lenoir said.
World-wide, it is 10 percent.
Cheap raw materials is another
form of profit for the U.S. The
minerals uranium and titanium are
used for nuclear weapons, are two
"cheap raw materials."
A third way that the U.S. profits
is the "strategic location [of S.
Africa] on oil routes to the middle
East."

On June 16 there will be a rally
and mass march against apartheid in
Seattle, in memory of the 1975
Soweto massacre, in which many
students were killed while protesting.
It will begin at 1 pm at the Zion
Church at 19th and Madison, and
protestors will then march to 23rd
and Cherry. The rally will be held
there, then a car caravan led by a
hearse will go to the South African
Consulate.
Lenoir emphasized that "the U.S.
has allied itself with one of the most
oppressive regimes...the investments

as a metaphor for human creativity. The play follows a character, and
also our race, from "voidness" to
conception, birth, adolescent confusion, cynical resignation, and finally a grand finale of bemused
understanding.
The show is Evergreen's first successful attempt to create a major
production through collaboration.
The script was .written by a team of
eight artist; all 38 members of the
program were able to contribute to
the creative content. As a result, all
members of the cast have grown to
love and hate their creation
intensely.
Anderson is also responsible for
dealing with less-serious crimes. He
must evict drifters sleeping in dormitory laundry rooms, in the CAB's
restrooms, and in the cars parked
around campus. "You never know
how they're going to act when you
tell them to leave or whether or not
they're carrying a weapon."
On two occasions.Anderson has
confronted suspects carrying guns.
He once stopped a car for speeding
on campus: four juveniles were
seated in the car and a rifle was on
the backseat.
In another incident, he found a
man sleeping in a car parked in one
of the student lots. As Anderson
walked toward the car and looked
through the window, he saw that the
man was clutching a rifle.
The man, Anderson discovered,
was a faculty member who had no
place else to sleep that night. When
asked why he was sleeping with a
loaded rifle near his side, the man
replied that he was "keeping it for
personal protection."
The most upsetting crime for
Anderson, however, was the murder
of Evergreen Student Elisa Tissot.
"The department decided to issue us
bullet-proof vests after her murder,"
he said, "but I didn't wait for them
to get around to giving me one. I

The performance itself is a
fascinating, if amateur, hour and a
half. The script, choreography, and
music all have moments of both
genius and awkward compromise.
The lighting and set are professional
quality, although obviously low
budget, and the masks are innovative works of art. It is experimental, and part of leaving the
prescribed formula is not quite
knowing what the results will be;
nevertheless, the show is full of
startling visual images, thoughtprovoking themes, and darn funny
lines.
The result is mixed; parts are such
bought my own vest right after Elisa
was shot."
Anderson often thinks about the
possibility of being hurt while working at Evergreen. "It's always in the
back of my mind," he reflected.
"The place where I'm probably going to get shot is on a highway or a
traffic stop."
Anderson considers routine traffic stops to be the most dangerous
of his duties, since traffic violators
often want to flee the crime scene.
Several times when this happened,
the crimes "escalated into felony
situations with the Sheriff's Department in hot pursuit and using drawn
guns to stop the fleeing vehicle."
Despite the inherent dangers of his
job, and despite the rude comments
that some students make about
security, Anderson is still positive
about working as a security officer
at Evergreen.
"Some of the students here are a
little different," he said, "but most
of them are good people."
Anderson denies claims made by
some that security officers at
Evergreen are insensitive to the
liberal lifestyles of students. As a
case in point, security officers are
often accused of harassment when
they issue citations to nude bathers
on Evergreen's beach.

are in areas that are key to the apartheid regime.
"If it were not for the U.S. investments, the regime and apartheid
would collapse tomorrow."
"There is a flurry of legislation at
all levels, particulaty the national
level," he said. There are 18 antiapartheid bills in the legislature now.

Apartheid has been protesting apartheid at the Consulate every Sunday
since December 1984.
striking images that they sear into
the memory; other pieces drag on
too long. The piece is disjointed and
uneven. Too often the action and
dialogue are posed, rather than
natural, yet the overall effect is quite
worth the $3.00 admission. In the
words of the main character, "The
plot is seamless and perhaps
pointless. However, you find
yourself watching with the closest attention.
The show runs through Sunday.
Curtain is at 8:00,p.m. and tickets
are $3 for students, $4 for the rest
of the world.
"The decision comes from the
President's Office," Anderson
remarked. "We follow those directives. A lot of students term our actions as harassment, but we term this
as our job. That's what we're here
to do."
In Anderson's opinion, though,
preventing nudity on the beach is a
good policy. His office has recently
received reports of perverse behavior
in the beach area, especially along
the wooded trail leading from the
main campus to the beach.
An extra effort has been made by
Campus Security to patrol the
beach, particularly after a sheriff's
deputy who investigated the situation recently remarked, "If you
don't do something about this area,
one of these days you're going to
find one of your women students
floating in the bay."
To prevent the abuse of police
power at Evergreen, Anderson
acknowledges the need for criticism
of authority by students. However,
he urges students to also consider the
needs and the problems of security
officers at Evergreen.
"I know this phrase has been
used before, but I think that it still
applies. I wouldn't be too quick to
judge us until you've walked a few
miles in our shoes."

Empowerment party: fun in sun
by Steven Aldrich
Last Thursday two bright blue
cardboard police officers wearing
yellow shades and black cardboard
belts and guns stood guard on either
side of a stereo system that filled Red
Square with the voice of Les
McCann who asked, "Try to make
it real compared to what?"
Across the columns of the Library
Building, a banner hung (below a
few swallows' nests) that explained
the scene. "Community Empowerment Party/Good Times for All,"
it proclaimed.
A diverse groups of students had
decided it was time to empower the
people, provide them with information, have a good time and create
school spirit. Or so said one of the
students.
"Many people do not know there
is a DTP studying security's request
to become a police department. They
don't know there is anything happening with governance. They don't
even know Security wants to be a
police force. We want them to know
and we want them to get involved,"
Matt Detering said.

The community basked in the
noonday sun, played volleyball,
threw frisbees, read, and sat on the
grass talking.
Then faculty member Helena
Knapp stepped up to the
microphone.
"Interdependence provides safety because everyone is watching out
for each other, but when people try
to create safety independently they
have to arm themselves and rely on
threats to hurt rather than to help
other people," Knapp said.
The same thing is true about problem solving, she said, and on this
campus people tend to solve their
problems independently.
"On an international level we are
also trying to create safety independently, and as a result are less
safe. Missiles and guns decrease, not
increase, personal safety," she said.
Two mimes, Marlene and Mary,
next did a performance they call
"The Barrier" in which they break
through an invisible wall in order to
embrace each other. They then did
a dance to the recorded monolog of
Gil Scott-Heron, who said, "The
revolution will not be televised, give

you sex appeal, make you look five
pounds thinner."
Dave Campbell, a student coordinator, and several other people circulated a petition stating the signees
were against arming and reclassifying security.
Mandy Goldberg spoke about
what is, and isn't, happening with
governance and encouraged people
to get involved.
Bob Hornbein said, "Evergreen is
an alternative community where
everyone can have a say in what happens. At least that's the philosophy.
In reality people in positions of
power are making decisions without
consulting us. This bugs the crap out
of me."
People stopped playing in the sun
to shout back "NO!" when he asked if security being reclassified as a
police department and carrying guns
made them feel safe.
"Police departments are for internal control of communities," Hornbein said.
Eric Smith had made a statement
at the Governance Symposium the
previous day. "We need to make
governance fun," he said.

Gary Vaughan of The Midnight Rhythm Band prepares to lay
down some tracks for the new Evergreen Album Project

Common Cause: groove music that makes everybody wanna dance
by Tsukasa Seikizaki
Common Cause, the six piece
groove band from Seattle, will
return to Olympia to headline the
Evergreen Graduation Dance on Friday, May 31, at the Governor House
Hotel.
The band, a collective of musicians representing five northwest
acts, will again be featuring their infectious brand of dance music. They
will close out the evening after performances by Evergreen's own
Young Pioneerr, and Big Daddy, a
Seattle based "good times rock-n-

roll" quartet.
As a special treat, Common Cause
will be joined in their last set by
Saundra DuPuis, and Karen
Goldfeder, who along with Cause
member Cheryl Harrison, were the
vocal trio that fronted the band Girl
Talk.
Q: How would you describe the
Common Cause sound?
CC: Funky, spontaneous, tight,
bottomed out, sloppy, (laughs)
punchy.
Q: What is your musical concept
as a band?

CC: Groove. We like doing funk
and fusion, but we're not locked into any one particular style. We concentrate on laying down a thick
rhythm and we just groove it from
there. Our objective is to make you
move. We'll do it any way we canplaying funk, wave, soul, rock,
oldies, covers, originals...whatever.
The common cause is the groove.
Q: The name Common Cause
seems to imply a political connotation. Are you a "political band?"
CC: No. But that doesn't mean
that as individuals we don't have a

political consciousness. Our Common Cause focuses on our belief in
playing music that makes us happy,
regardless of what idiom or style that
may be; our corning together as
friends and musicians to express our
artistic concepts; and to make lots
of money. (Laughs) Really, we hate
to be pigeon-holed by a musical
classification. We've been called a
funk band, cover band, casual band,
Asian American band, and we are all
and none of those things. We just
like to play music and have a good
time.

Q: You've performed at
Evergreen before; do you like playing for Greeners?
CC: Evergreen audiences are the
best. They're appreciative and
responsive.
Q: What are your future plans?
CC:We'll do some recording this
summer and hopefully have an EP
out in the fall. We also plan to go
back to Hawaii in December. [The
band did an eight week tour in the
islands last summer.] In the meantime, we'll be busy performing in
clubs in the area.

To the Editor;

Whose hemisphere is it?
Four words in Tom Cummins' letter in the last issue prompt this
response. They were "This is our
hemisphere." Well, I got to thinking about that a bit. Did Tom mean
that this is a hemisphere the U.S. is
a part of or is it our, i.e. America's,
hemisphere. I think he tilts toward
the latter and that's a shame. It does,
however, seem to keep in step with
the dogmatic barking from the other
Washington these days.
Sadly, Washington D.C. has
seldom recognized that this
hemisphere is comprised of
sovereign nations free to make their
own choices. If it did, perhap- the
attempted land reform under
Guatemala's Arbeny may have
succeeded. Or Salvador Allende may
have been left to govern unimped-

Since this is my last chance to express my opinions as a student at
Evergreen, I have decided to state a
few of them.
I recently returned from a trip to
Big Mountain where the Dine People are surviving. Their struggles are
real, and they are serious about staying on the land that rightfully
belongs to them. They do need support though, and this can come in
different ways. The Legal Support
office in Flagstaff is in need of office supplies and volunteer help. You
can get more information by writing
them at:
Big Mountain Legal Defense Office, Lou Gerwitz, 124 San Francisco Street, Flagstaff, Arizona.
You can also go to support group
meetings. There is a group here that
meets in the Lecture Hall Rotunda
on Tuesdays. If a person feels the
need to be directly involved, go to
Big Mountain. Presently there are
Greeners at the Survival camp as
well as living with elders, herding
sheep, cutting fire wood, planting

and maintaining gardens, and even
going out on the defencing crews.
If you decide to go down, be ready
to work and be somewhat self supported. If you have any questions
come up to the Indian Center on the
Third floor of the Library building.
Item 2: Graduation. This issue
seems to be a confusing one this
year, from asking students to be
somewhat non-political during the
ceremonies to having the graduation
committee sponsor an event that is
not open to all students (because of
the cramped location and the ticket
prices). The Third World students
are having a graduation banquet that
same evening and were asked not to
conflict by having a dance. So we
decided to put our money set aside
into the main graduation dance.
Now, I cannot speak for everyone in
the Third World Coalition, but the
Northwest Indian Center will not put
money into any event that limits student participation. We will continue
with our banquet and celebration on
the fourth floor 4300 room, and all
Third World students are invited to
attend, beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Oh, about graduation day. I
would suggest that you exercise
your First Amendment rights and be
as political and audible as possible.
I do believe it was meant to be a
festive occasion. By the time this letter is out, we will have experienced
our second Student Empowerment
day. It would be good to see this
continued next week and next year.
It doesn't call for a select group of
students to get a microphone and
voice opinions, anyone can sponsor
an event.
Let the administration and community know your opinions and
concerns. What better way than an
open mike on Red Square, except
maybe the CPJ. If people don't

Reader asks for
compassion
To the Editor and Michael "Scott"
Harmon;
The cartoon appearing in the May
9 issue of the CPJ entitled "The
Karen Anne Quinlan Show" required little thought, even less skill
and no compassion whatsoever. I
would like to think that a college student could put forth more effort
than that, especially an Evergreen
student. Comical efforts like "The
Karen Anne Quinlan Show" lead me
to wonder what your next attempt
at comedy will bring to CPJ readers.
Maybe something like "The Elisa
Tissot Show" or "The Willie Unsoeld Hour?" These matters are not
funny. Wise up, Michael.
Bill Gilbreath

Reporter looks
for gripes
Dear Editor;
As a reporter for the CPJ, I accepted the assignment to investigate
gripes, rumors, etc., as follows: cuts
were made in Xerox privileges,
mooring fees, and programs. Arts
Expressions were losing faculty,
sponsors for contracts were limited.

Meetings with Dick Schwartz and
John Perkins concluded that budget
cuts are necessary because of shrinking financial resources of the State.
It is rumored that a ten percent
across-the-board cut is to be the
method of economizing. In the case
of the library budget is seems that
the easiest economy is to eliminate
media services completely. The
newest concept embraced is the first
to be fired.
What a poor value judgement!
Libraries are sacred. In all of western
society, from the ten comandments
on to almost the present, the written word has been the medium for
communicating the treasured
heritage of man. That written word
has been the resource of the
humanities.
There has been a growing change
in the last few decades. In the real
world out there, most people no
longer read. People have the power
in a democracy, and today's people
are informed not by the written word
but by the media of the film, video
and mass electronic communication.
Those who would direct the concepts
held by the public need to learn to
use and control the media of the
film, video and mass communication. We are well acquainted with
some of those who have already accomplished such control.
We too must develop superior
ways of using film and video. There
are technical schools for this kind of
training, but how many of these
schools teach the humanities and the
effective way of communicating
ideas? TESC is the only school in the
Northwest doing this. Ours is a
young program and already there are
credits rolling everywhere in
documentary, educational and art
films that say The Evergreen State
College.
The college was remiss in not doing the ugly but necessary public
relations of tooting its own horn. In
this competition for the ears of the
world, one has to have the mindset
of a New York City subway rider
who is determined to squeeze his ass
on the seat between two other
passengers.
The enthusiasm of the people
working in media is something a
dedicated educator should treasure.
These people feel cut off, indeed
more like hitting a stone wall after
going at breakneck speed.
The college was remiss in not going to film and camera manufacturers and broadcasting companies
seeking scholarship money or foundation money. It was also remiss in
not developing creative financing
with returns that couldn't be recap-

tured in the general budget.
What kind of value judgements
are being exercised here when there
is a real need for this program? We
have here the talent to teach it, the
necessary equipment, and the
students eager to master it. Think of
the effect of The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming; The
China Syndrome and Dr.
Strangelove. Evergreen's Beacon
Hill Boys is a wonderful start in that
direction. Why abort it?
Many state colleges subsidize
teaching subjects that aid the industry of that area, particularly new
industries. Our TV commentators
wax enthusiastic when they have the
chance to talk about a new film or
TV show being produced in
Washington. They are quick to expand upon the advantages of producing such material here, and speak
of the bright future when our state
will have something other than aircraft and lumber to bring income
from the outside. Well, it seems that
their expectations for a better future
have not reached our administrators
here.
Irene Mark Buitenkant

Savage editor
cuts Phantom
Dear Editor;
To my extreme dismay I found
that my recent letter to the CPJ had
been severely and savagely edited.
Don't think for a moment that I
didn't notice the deletion of the final
sentence of that vital correspondence. Is it possible that the
far-reaching tentacles of Monsieur
Chateaubriand are involved here?
Being a world-renowned super hero isn't as easy as you think. I get no
cooperation from the mortal public
even though it is their existence that
I am struggling to preserve. What
ever happened to the sanctity of the
written word, journalistic integrity
and the Edsel. Doesn't anyone care
anymore? Has justice gone the way
of Amelia Earhart and Howdy
Doody? This could very well be the
last you hear from me. Goodbye
cruel and unfair world. I am
defeated.
Sincerely,
The disillusioned and desperately
despondent
Phantom

Issue No 1

PROFESSOR FLINTSTONE DENIES DEVIANT ACT!
by R. Michael Rimshot
While the rest of America was out
camping, picnicking and generally
having a Memorial Day Weekend
that wasn't very memorable,
Evergreen faculty member Frederick
Q. Flintstone, professor of geology,
was having a memorable weekend of
his own.
"What will Wilma say?" Flintstone said to the Security officers
who escorted him away from campus. "How will I explain this to all
the guys at the quarry?"
Flintstone and Monique Va
Voom, a first year exchange student
from Russia, were found wrapped in
a blanket inside a closet in Lab II of
the Evergreen State College.
Blond, darkly tanned, six-foottwo with eyes of blue, Va Voom was
whisked away from the scene by her
host family. She is only 17 years old
and has only been in this country for
two days.
"I swear, we went in there to find
a broom," Flintstone said. "Then
the door closed and I heard the lock
catch. We both tried to unlock it,
but it wouldn't come undone. We
just had to make the best of a bad
situation. But I swear, we only went
in there for a broom."
Flintstone explained his terrifying

ordeal further: "We found this old
cheese sandwich that one of the
custodians left, and we fought over
it until it just didn't seem to matter
any more. One thing sort of led to
another, and before long she had me
reciting the names o'f all the Russian
Czars.
"The next thing I knew, Monique
started to shiver, and well, I thought
she might be getting hypothermia.
We found this old blanket and exercised the survival techniques all
geologists are supposed to know."
Va Voom was unavailable to confirm Flintstone's claims, but her
mother in Slobnichviavaloch,
Russia, was quoted as saying
something nobody on the Enquirer
staff could understand. A Russian
language expert translated the senior
Va Voom's statement as saying:
"My buxom daughter would never
do something so heinous. It's a big
Imperialist lie. I knew that America
was a bad place. Pravda never lies,
but now I'm sure."
Barney J. Rubble, Evergreen staff
member and long time friend of
Flintstone, refused to believe the
accusations.
"I've known Fred for almost two
months now and, gee, he's never
done anything like this before. I just
can't believe he did it. Just yester-

day he told me how excited he was
to be able to teach Monique about
American culture and geological formations," Rubble said. "And
besides he didn't have a key to that
closet. I can't figure out how he got
in there. Sure sounds like a lot more
fun than bowling, though."
Flintstone's wife, Wilma, refused
to accept her husband's claims and
she presented a much different
version.
"Why that rotten son of a bitch,"
Mrs. Flintstone exclaimed. "He did
this before when we lived in Winnemuca. Only that time he was
teaching first grade. They caught
him in the cafeteria after school with
little Wilburforce. Fred told me that
the little tyke sullied his trousers and
that's why they were up the flagpole.
Fred said that he was only trying to
help the wee urchin avoid a spanking when he got home. But now I
know the truth, Fred's story holds
about as much water as the Sahara
Desert."
"This is a governance issue,"
Evergreen President Randy Farkle
said. "We're now seeking student input on whether Monique should be
given free tuition for a week and a
half, free parking, or unlimited access to the monkey cage in the faculty lounge. As a matter of fact, we're

Fred Flintstone: Is this a face you can trust? Are you kidding? Hah!
now considering letting her take up
permanent residence there with a
studded leather whip, a set of Encyclopedia Brittanicas and a stereo
that will play 'Hail to the Chief on
full tilt over the campus PA
system."
"It's a goddamned governance

issue already! Didn't I say that?"
said a flustered, red faced Farkle, as
he buttoned up his pants and started
the long stagger to the administrator's booz-o-teria.
"I just want to say once more that
we were only looking for a broom,"
Flintstone asserts.

OLDe BEN IS UFO ALIEN SAY TOP RUSS DOCS!!!
Creature visited Mayans over
500 years ago!!!
by Phineas Phenssetter
The campus was rocked today by
reports of a Russian scientific study
now under way that experts say will
prove conclusively that Evergreen
community member olde Ben is an
alien from another world with a bad
credit rating and atrocious eating
habits!
Students appeared listless as if
nothing really mattered anymore,
and some classes were cancelled.
Said one Greener, who wished to remain anonymous, "I think we all
feel pretty betrayed by this."
Neither college President Randy
"Red" Farkle, nor any of the
trustees were available for comment.
This fueled rumors that the governor had requested their presence at
a special meeting to discuss the crisis.
The controversy arose over the
genetic legitimacy of a skin scraping
taken from the back of olde Ben's
neck for identification purposes
when he tried to cash a check at a
local bank. Problems reared their
ugly heads when the sample failed to
have any of the standard biological
properties associated with human
tissue. The check remained
uncashed.
"It just goes against our policies
to cash a check for a being of uncertain planetary origins. It's a bad
risk." explained Homer Carmichael,
bank president.
After the banking incident, olde
Ben is said to have wandered back
out into the street, and disappeared
into a crowd. No one has reported
seeing him since.
All this might have gone unnoticed, had there not been a celebrated
Russian microbiologist standing
behind olde Ben, an Evergreen in-

photo by We Don't Know Who

Are the Russkies right? Is olde Ben really an alien?
stitution, at the bank.
Dr. Dimitri Serghov was just winding up a three month holiday from
the Russian Academy of Science,
when he witnessed the incident.
Although unavailable for comment,
it seems that Dr. Serghov returned
to the Academy with but one
interest—to prove that the city of
Olympia is knowingly harboring an
alien being. It's rumored that if the
conspiracy theory is true, it implicates officials all the way up to the
mayor of Battlecreek, Michigan,

who was also unavailable for
comment.
Another facet of the Russian
theory is that Olympia's olde Ben is
the same olde Ben found in Mayan
legends that date back to the 14th
century. At that time the Mayans
were, for a short while, the recipients
of an amazingly advanced
technology that led them to the
development of Twinkles and KoolAid long before their conception on
the European continent.
Ancient writings attribute these

advances to a being that called itself
olde Ben, and relied upon the mystic
properties of the above mentioned
foods to give itself strength.
Regardless of the how the Russian
report turns out, there are some who
feel that this experience has left its
mark on the psyche of the campus
and that it will never be forgotten.
"Like, even if they find this dude
innocent of being a martian, there
are some people here who will never
be able to look at the guy again
without kinda wondering about

him," said student Robert "Stinky"
Barker. "I don't think they'll ever
feel the same about him at the Coop, after hearing about that junk he
fed the Mayans."
President Farkle was unavailable
for comment, although he did issue
a statement that proclaimed: "This
olde Ben crisis is a governance issue.
We'll hold a forum next year to
solicit student input."
Anyone with information about
olde Ben is encouraged to take a long
cold shower.

ANGRY: BOX 0' SMELL SUX
by Edgar Angry
When I heard about what goes on
in and around the so-called "Free
Box," it was all I could do to keep
myself from blowing my breakfast
clear from here to Sunday.
Do you know what people do
there?
You may want to sit down before
you read this. Now get this—people
sleep in it!! BLEAH! I wouldn't
even let my dead dog, Rex, sleep in
there!
That box is a public health
menace! If you walk the east stairs
in the CAB, you know that wafting
aroma—it's surely the scent of
billions and billions of herpes germs!
The only way to miss the stench is
to wear a gas mask or have a bad
cold.
I have such a hard time even running past the "reek box" that I can't
imagine people wanting to spend
hours at a time in it.
I won't try to share the disgust I
feel when I see people trying on
female undergarments at odd hours
of the morning. It's worse than seeing a dead rabbit in the ditch by the
side of the road.
But I've got an answer to this increasingly fragrant problem.
See, what we do is to move the El
Reeko Box into the Cooper Point
Journal office. The rag these bozos
put out doesn't smell any better than
the El Reeko Box, and besides, these

people are no slaves to fashion. They
all might as well wear signs that proclaim, in huge flashing neon letters:
STYLING AND FRAGRANCE BY
EL REEKO FREE BOX. .
Take my word for it, they are that
pathetic.
And there's another thing about
the C/Vthat I don't understand, and
neither does anyone else who I have
talked to.
It's this Bag O' Sponges bullshit
that I don't understand.
Just what in the hell kind of stunt
are you clowns trying to pull with
this anyway? It's probably some sort
of Godless Commie plot to export
Bag O' Revolution from those pansies in Nicaragua to our rightthinking, sacrosanct, God-fearing
motherland. The thought of all this
Bag O' Nonsense makes my stomach
ache. I think I'm getting an ulcer,
and I owe it all to you pranksters.
Expect a lawsuit to fall in your collective Russkie laps any day now, the
way you all are going.
To get to the bottom of the
CPRag's septic tank of toxic journalism, I have charged a blue-ribbon
DTP to study the whole issue of the
El Reeko Box and the Rag. The
members of the El Reeko Rag DTF
are as follows: Dale Knuth, Milo
Bloom, Laurian Weisser, Dahlia
Tubers, and Bob Barker (world
renowned quizmaster and funny guy
capitalist).
As DTF Chair, I have charged

Olde Ben to give me an answer by
June 6 at noon, or else.
The DTF plans to hold it's next
meeting during the next Rag production schedule. Rumor has it that
many a drunken orgy takes place
(with nubile, 17 year old nymphomaniacs from Capitol High
School) during the production,
resulting in the sloppy product they
give us each week. You know what
they say—"All sex and no work
makes Mike a lousy journalist."
Should we expect any less from the
Rag! Hell no.
When your's truly asked the Rag
about the El Reeko Journal DTF,
the managing Editor said, "Don't
assholes like you have something
better to do than to hassle us all the
time? We're all tired, cranky and
stressed out about the shit you incessantly fling on us. Hey, I didn't
know the guy never made that
quote. It wasn't my fault. I never
saw the gun. Wait. . .that's
something else. Just go take a nice
long flying fuck at the moon, OK?,
and we'll all be happier for it. I'm
just go on a long Road Trip when
this whole bloody mess blows over.
Now get outta here, yeast breath.
The moon's a long way away and
you have a lot of fucking to do to
get there."
With quotes like this, may the
Cooper Point Rag be left to rot in
Siberia, where the whole idiotic
Commie staff truly belongs.

If you were born today, too bad.
You are a total goofus. You think
too much, but unfortunately people

Washtucna or Sedro Wooley or
something) and never come back or
else. Thanks.
ARIES: Anger on your part will
be met by retaliation by your
enemies. Still, you mustn't feel optimistic. No doubt today will be no
different than any other day.
TAURUS: Luck is with you, but
not the kind most people want.
Romance has unpleasant side effects. Go see a doctor.
GEMINI: A trip brings an unexpected surprise. You'll be the center
of attention at Western State. Not
a good day to wear white.
CANCER: Practice common
sense when in the restroom.
Remember what happened last
week! Evening will be a good time
to hide.

LEO: A change of plans leads to
premature death. Don't leave your
bed. Unusual entertainments are
possible, as long as the police don't
find out.
VIRGO: Job opportunities dry up
for good. You'd best move
somewhere warm because you'll be
outside a lot. Smooth out. A coworker will narc on you today.
LIBRA: The day favors fun activities, but make sure you partner
brushes and flosses first. In love,
you'd best be forewarned. A child
will ruin your year.

careful what you touch, jerk, or else.

First, I think that Facilities should
let the cliff swallows stay. I think
that shit falling from the sky is what
the "real world" is all about. Ask
anyone with a "real" job, they'll tell
you that a little rain must fall.
Second, I am very angry about the
lack of hippies on campus. Once
upon a time this place was full of
hippies, but no more. I think hippies
are an important aspect of
Evergreen—one that is grossly
misunderrepresented.
Third, and surely most importantly, let's settle this damned "issue
issue."
I'm sick of issues. I won't put up
with them anymore and I mean it!

FREE BEER R O A D T R I P T U R N S INTO
OFFICE
TOUR&
GIFT SHOP

BEER
BIG FUN ROADTRIP

Tour Guide Joe Stamey

by Mike McKen/ie
With a lack of any kind of bigger fun, a delegation from the Evergreen Enquirer decided to take
a free beer road trip.
But first, we had to ask ourselves, "Just where can we get free beer?" The answer was just a short
drive away—the Olympia Brewery .
As we waited for the brewery tour to begin, we caroused through the gift shop. You should have
seen it, they've got just about beer everything.
While
the
rest
of
the
staff
eyeballed beer pool cues, beer teddy bears, beer garbage cans, floating key chains, belt buckles, towels,
and even beer spare automobile tire covers; this reporter caught a few quotes from the cashiers, Gwyn
and Steve, in the giftshop.
"Just what do you sell the most of?"
"T-shirts go a lot," Steve said.
"Well, then, what's the weirdest thing you sell?"
"Beer cookies," Gwyn said.
"Well, then, what's the second weirdest thing you sell?"
"Probably Do Its," Gwyn said.
So with this information, the EE'ers were soon gathered around a box of Do Its, which are like scarves
or bandanas or something like that only much cheesier. But the price was right—a regular four dollar
value marked down to twenty-five cents. Needless to say, they sold a.few''Do Its that day.
Those of us who bought Do Its were quick to tie them around our necks, and thus attired, we began
the tour.
Joe Stamey, our tour guide, told us all sorts of things about the history of the brewery. If you're
interested in hearing about stuff like that you should go take the tour, because, if you were to read
it all here, it would ruin Joe Stamey's rap.
So, anyway, Joe was a real nice guy. He wore one of those white smocks with one of the brewery's
tiresome slogans embroidered on his left breast and his name tag sewed on his right breast. In his right
hand he held a metal pointer.
Joe kept pointing at things and talking. He was the kind of guy you could trust because he talked
like a real person.
Joe told us all about the recycling they do at the brewery. He showed us a video tape of "Old George
in the recycling room." Then he told us what to do with our empties.
"Take 'em back to the distributor—we'll buy em back," Joe told us,
Joe explained that brewery work is real boring. But don't despair for the workers in the brewery,
there's four different jobs and the workers are rotated every hour.
Joe told us all about how many times they wash the recycled bottles and kegs. He said they use a
bunch of solutions and rinses, they even brush the kegs and check inside them with a flashlight. ;
It's hard to say just exactly why, but when Joe said that when they refill their containers "they've
done their very best to clean them," you just had to believe him.
Joe seemed to be an endless resource of figures and statistics. He said something about how the brewery
pumps out about 150,000 cases of beer and about 4,200 kegs of beer per day.
Did you know that Washington grows about 75 percent of the U.S. hop crop? Well, Joe told us that,
too.
And he also explained that malt liquor has more malted barley and less hops.
That's why it "sneaks up a little faster," Joe said.
Of course the "spent grains" are sold to local farmers and that's why some of the happiest cows
and pigs around live in this area.
Joe led us into the brewery. Perhaps the most poignant thing about this part of the tour was that
it smelled like that carpet in our production manager's apartment after the EE party.
Just exactly how much does it cost the brewery to make a bottle of beer? "It's a secret" as far as
Joe knows. But he did say that making the containers costs more more than the product "by a long shot."
Next Joe launched into a real scientific explanation of the brewing process. He told us about the "louder
tub," which is just like a "great big coffee pot." Then he showed us this big control panel where everything
is monitored and he quoted some figure on the mega-bucks the brewery pays in taxes each year.
We were then led to the storage tank area where they have eight hundred of these huge tanks. If you
drank a quart of beer every day, it would take you 342 years to drink one of these tanks of beer.
At last, we were on our way to Hospitality Room. But before we got to sample the goods, Joe told
us that they serve their beer at 42 degrees farenheit. Also, they pour the beer straight down Into glass
so it'll foam up and release gas.
Letting beer slide down the side of the glass "is a no-no," said Joe.
So there we were sucking up all the beer we could. Anytime any one of us wanted another glass,
Joe or the other bartender, Fred Metcalf, would fill it up again.
Finally our photo editor kicked over our managing editor's glass and Fred had to come clean it up,
I couldn't help but ask "Say, Fred, do you ever have trouble getting people to leave?"
You could tell there was a bit of sarcasm in the way Fred answered.
"Aw, noooh," he said, shaking his head.

IT'S THE WATER AND THE ONLY PLACE WE'VE EVER GOTTEN FREE BEER

MACHO SPORTS FOR NEW MACHO GREENER IMAGE
by Tim O' Quamanagadorf
The Evergreen Athletic Department is going after a new image and
they're serious about it.
What image? Evergreen has big
plans to thrust into Big-Time College
Sports. No, we're not just going to
pussyfoot in basketball and baseball;
the college is going to get tough with
football, boxing and hockey teams.
"We've got an image here at
Evergreen that says, 'We're a passive
school.' Well, that's why we get hurt
in the budget cuts. They think they
can hit us and we'll just roll over.
We need to get our back's off the
canvas before the count. We need to
get nasty. A Big Time, get-tough
sports program would give us the
right rep," College President
Randy "Thunderbuns" Farkle said
last weekend.

The sports program is getting active at Evergreen and is planning to
accomodate the new image.
Plans for Evans Stadium have
been approved and construction will
begin this summer. Completion is
expected prior to the start of the
1986 football season. Boxing and
Hockey will also be accomodated.
Where the Pavilion now stands is
the site for the Beer Garden Sports
Arena.
"Just think about it. Instead of
students spending their evenings in

the Corner or hanging out around
the A-dorm pool tables, students will
flock to the Beer Garden," said college athletic director William
Barnum.
Though the college has plans for
the new sports program it still needs
coaches. This is where the sports
controversy begins. While Farkle
and Barnum are ready for a "get
tough" program, there is still
pressure from the old school. The
old school faculty and alumni feel
things should be done the Evergreen
way.
The Evergreen way would need a
coach with a different philosophy
than Farkle or Barnum. If the coach
was appointed for Evergreen Way
qualities, it is likely that a present
faculty member will get the coaching
nod.
Leading candidates as faculty
coaches are Tom Rainey and Thad
Curtz. But the possibility of a faculty
coach isn't likely. If the Athletic

Department is going to go to the
trouble of Big Time Sports they will
hire big-time coaches, not namby
pamby Evergreen philosophy
coaches.
I was given a chance to interview
one of the football coach candidates.
The Athletic Department has asked
me not to reveal any choices yet, but
I will say he is an assistant at a major, big time fun sports school. Here
is part of the interview.
The Evergreen Enquirer: Are you
familiar with the Evergreen
philosophy?
Candidate: Well, President Farkle
has convinced me his main concern
is that I provide a winning footBALL team. And that's the only
philosophy I'll need here.
TEE: Are you familiar with
Evergreen?
C: I understand it's a gem in the
rough.
TEE: Have you ever heard of a
Greener?
C: Bill Barnum mentioned
something about those. Sound like
pansies to me. But I'm an open
minded individual, and as long as
those things can hit, what's the
difference?

CHUCK

The new
STEAK
football coach?

President "Thunderbuns" Farkle
Evergreen's new cheerleaders take aim at those hoser opponents, going for the proverbial jugular and school pride

Athletic Director William "Spud" Barnum

You know this guy? We don't
TEE: Have you received an indication as to what your chances are
in getting this job?
C: As long as the job requires a
winner, I feel I fill the requirements.
TEE: Are you aware of the controversy surrounding the team's existence, and the controversy about
the coaching position?
C: Yes I am, and I would like to
assure the entire student body the
success of a good football program.
And aggressive play reflects the
character of the students.
TEE: In other words, every injury
a Geoduck player ruthlessly inflicts
on an opponent represents Greener
Pride, right?
C: Yeah, that's what pride and
winning're all about. Any more
questions?
TEE: No, no, that's fine. I'm
already late for my character checkup and sports injury class.
It sounds like all parties involved
are serious about Big Time Sporting
Geoducks. But us greeners have an
image, as well as a pile of tofu bean
curd dessert, to uphold, so why spoil
it with some ambitious football
team?
"It sounds like a governance issue
to me," Farkle said. "Haven't I said
something like that before?"

Editor: have

Farkle: I don't care how
much face they suck, it's
still a governance issue!

A Love Story
by John Chiapetta and Brian Raiter
Carol Whitecliff. Professor,
Groton College. Age: 39, again.
Portrait of a woman in transition.
Say, rather, in crisis. A woman
grasping at youth.
Dave Bartholomew. Graduate student, also Groton College. Age:25.
A man puzzled not by his own emotions, but by those of others.
They've collided before, but this
time they will collide in-the Twilight
Zone.
Dave was nervous about being out
so late. It was 7:30 in the evening,
and on the other side of the door
before him, he knew, Professor
Whitecliff waited. Maybe she really
did want to discuss his master's
thesis. He doubted it.
She was sitting on the edge of her
desk when he went in. So much for
the thesis thesis.
"The thesis thesis," he said to
himself. He like the sound of that,
and tried to say it three times fast.
"What?" said Carol.
He hesitated. "The thesis thesis;
the theory that you asked me here
to talk about my master's thesis.
Care to comment, professor?"
"Dave," she said, massaging her
temples, "I'm sorry. I pushed too
hard."
"Damn right!"
"Dave, please. I understand how
you feel. If we can't be lovers, can
we at least be good friends?"
"No, and now I'm going to eat
you," he said, turning into a
werewolf.
Carol tried to scream, and failed.

NEKKED!!! It's still a governance issue, says BOB
by Wendi "Lookout!" Kerrasshh!!
Over 100 Greeners got together in
a recording studio yesterday, under
a sign reading "Check Your Clothes
at the Door," to record a paean to
world unity and beach nudity: "We
Are The Nude."
The song was recorded in an effort to raise money for Bare Our
Beach, Inc. (BOB), an organization
formed to promote nude sunbathing
and maximum tanning on the
Evergreen beach.
"Like, we want to publicize the
right of every Greener to get naked," said BOB organizer Molly

Barker. "I mean, if you can't get
naked here, you can't get naked
anywhere."
The effort brought together
several of Evergreen's most
notorious figures, including
Evergreen Enquirer editor Mike
McKenzie, who sang a special solo
to begin the song.
"We are the nude, we are the naked," sang McKenzie, clad only in a
BOB sweatband. After the recording
session, Mike chugged from a can of
stale, lukewarm Oly and talked
about his participation in the
project.
"It's important to me that I do
something of social significance

EFFERSYLLIUM

before I graduate," he said. "That's
what Evergreen is known for, right?
Anyway, the BOB crusade is the
perfect cause for me."
"We Are The Nude" will sell for
$2 at all area record stores, with all
proceeds going to the BOB fund.

Faculty member says planners had idealistic dream
To the Evergreen Community:
The Evergreen State College, as
defined by its planners, was an
idealist's dream. The planning faculty envisioned a campus in which
students and faculty worked
together as peers, dictating college
policy, designing the curriculum and
learning from one another. This
vison wasn't simply a fashion of the
late 1960's: the notion of higher
education being a partnership between student and instructor is as
sensible and realistic as any.
Few would deny that Evergreen,
in practice, has moved away from
some of the basic ideals that gave
rise to the college. In 1985, there exists no campus-wide forum for open
discussion among faculty, staff, and
students about the various issues that
concern this college. The curriculum
is determined by faculty members
two years in advance, with minimal
input on the part of students. Every
year, the likelihood that the deans

There is little question that the
to champion the cause of alternative quality and availablity of informaeducation if the governance structure tion about governance on this camat this college remains unchanged. pus is mediocre. Here's an example:

In last week's CPJ article about the
governance symposium, one current
faculty member and former student
was paraphrased as saying that when
he was a student here, he
remembered "the faculty being very
frustrated as they tried to motivate
students to get involved in governance issues." According to the
author of the article, I was the faculty member who made this remark.
The statement was actually made by
another alumnus who is not a faculty
member. This error on the part of
the CPJ reporter disturbs me not only because it misrepresents me completely, but because it's indicative of
the careless and half-hearted
coverage that the entire governance
issue has received in the CPJ.
The CPJ article on the governance
symposium failed to mention at least
two crucial issues which were raised
at the symposium. First of all,
several speakers expressed a need to
revive the Evergreen Council, a
governing body in which faculty,
staff and students are all

represented. This council currently
exists, but it has been relatively
powerless for the past decade. Also,
Betsy Diffendal discussed the importance of incorporating governance
into the curriculum. Students could
be asked to study various campus
issues and make recommendations
about these issues as part of their
academic work. Personally, I consider this idea to be an exciting and
academically fruitful way of integrating students into the governance process.
Governance is the central issue at
Evergreen. We are fortunate to have
a new president who recognizes this
fact and who is eager to create new
lines of communication on the campus. I urge all of us to discuss governance issues among ourselves, to demand more and better access to information, and to act willingly and
responsibly with regard to issues that
affect the future of alternative
education at Evergreen.
Thank you.
Victor Shames, Visiting Faculty.

A week after symposium, students still uninformed
by CPJ Staff
Barely a week has passed since the
goveranance symposium's plea for
student involvement was heard, and
now the destiny of this institution is
undergoing critical discussion, in
private.
The Cooper Point Journal learned
of impending budget cuts when
a concerned staff member contacted
us about the apparent demise of an
academic support system. Without
this notice we wouldn't have learned
of
proposals currently being
drafted for a 5 percent to 7 percent
cut in the 1986-87 budget.
Four committees have formed—
and have met to act on Kathleen
Garcia's May 17 memo, which
stated: "Joe Olander has requested
the chief administrative officers...to
prepare budget reductions for their
areas."

Three areas, student services, college relations and business, are drafting 6.5 percent budget cuts. The
academic cuts will be 5 percent.
A week ago, the academic committee met in closed session—
unbeknownst to most students—to
begin work on its proposals. The
Temporary Budget Committee
(TEMBUDTCO in administratorspeak) met again last Tuesday, and
is scheduled to conduct two more
meetings. These meetings, as we
understand them, will not be closed
to the public.
The rational for closing the
meetings seemed to be twofold: to
protect community members from
undue concern and because, the admionistration argued, the meetings
are only for the preparation of proposals, not decision-making.
This seems odd.
In light of a call for participation

Bomb threats waste time
by the CPJ Staff
Waste.
Although many members of the
Evergreen community tried to make
the best of it, the second bomb scare
in as many weeks put the brakes on
campus life, idling some 2,000 faculty,
students,
staff
and
administrators.
Last Thursday's mid-morning
bomb threat call came directly to the
campus switchboard. A week earlier,
a bomb threat call came in on the
Lesbian Gay Resource Center's
(LGRC) answering machine. In both
cases procedures for handling such
threats were initiated, say campus
security officials.
In short, the threats were handled
like this: College President Olander
or an authority designated to act for
him evaluates the threat and, in both
cases, the building or buildings in
question were evacuated.
"We have to treat every threat
credibly," Olander said.
If a caller names a specific
building or location, a search begins.
But the entire campus can't possibly
be searched, according to Security
Sergeant Larry Savage.
Security Chief Gary Russell said
he believes the most recent threat
came from off-campus, because the
call came to the switchboard. The

caller said the bomb would go off at
10:43 a.m. The evacuation lasted until 11:00 a.m.
The earlier threat said the bomb
would explode at 2:35 in the afternoon. That call came into the LGRC
between noon and 2 p.m., according
to Savage.
Although there has been speculation about the source of the calls, officers have no leads. A system to
tape record the calls would require
operators to switch on the equipment before dealing with the threat
itself.
Security and the administration
are taking measures to deal with the
threats more efficiently, through increased communication with the
Thurston County Sheriff's office
and other agencies. They're also examining systems at other colleges.
But for now, Olander and the rest
of the staff willl take the threats as
they come. It isn't a new problem for
Olander, while at the University of
Miami he experienced daily bomb
threats for three months.
The only nice thing about last
Wednesday's threat was that many
people got the opportunity to converse in the sun and even to dance.
The Community Empowerment
loudspeakers cranked up early,
breaking the mumbling packs of
people on Red Square.

in campus affairs and the responsibility vested in all Evergreen community members, we believe such
paternalism is out of place no matter how sincerely it is offered.
If proposal preparation does not
require decision making—such as
contrasting one budget area to
another and making the choice of
which to cut—then we do not know
what a decision is.
True, the proposals will be reviewed by President Olander before he
submits them to the Board of
Trustees for action, but a good deal
of discussion with direct bearing on
the future of this institution will be
done behind closed doors.
Provost Patrick Hill told us there
would be a forum sometime next
week so that the community could
be involved in the proposal development process.
We learned the details of this
forum when one of our staff
members noticed a bunch of dittoed
sheets blowing about the College Ac-

tivities Building floor.
Hill, who is in charge of the temporary committee, invites those
with questions or concern to come
of the Staff/Faculty Lounge on
Tuesday, June 4, between noon and
1 p.m.
While we knew after being
notified that a forum was due, it
seems notification of campus might
well have been a matter of chance.
Had we not been tipped, we would
not have had time to make inquiries
regarding budget cuts. The alternative method of inviting participation (leaving memos on the floor)
strikes us as haphazard, to say th«
least.
One CPJ staffer, attempting to
cover the story, was told that the
story should be submitted for
review. We declined this invitation.
This entire affair seems symptomatic of the current administrative
attitude, a return to in locoparentis
(in the place of parents).
We are, as a community at large,

being sheltered from information
that might upset us. Information
that we might misunderstand or,
worse, that might vitally interest us.
The flaw in the system is clear to
us. Only when proposals are finished will the community as a whole be
allowed to discuss them. This will
not allow the community to be informed from the start, and will not
allow the community to understand
the need for these cuts or allow the
community to participate in these
decisions.
Patrick Hill shouldn't be singled
out for criticism. The problem
seems to be a pervasive lack of trust
in student involvement. On this campus, in this community, there is no
process in use that provides for student input in general.
We understand that the issues are
sensitive, but we have been led to
believe that open debates among
people provides wise counsel in difficult times.

Budget cut merry-go-round: when will it ever end?
by Carla Casper
Evergreen has hopped aboard the
budget cut merry-go-round once
again.
This time the school must answer
the $750,000 question—where will
the cuts come from, and why are we
doing it again?
This round of budget cuts comes
from the projected revenue shortfall
estimations of the State budget. In
both the House and Senate budget
proposals, Evergreen faced 3 to 7
percent cuts in our 1985-1987
budget.
Although the legislature hasn't
been able to put together a budget
yet, the general feeling in the
Evergreen budget office is that
whatever budget does come out of
the state legislature for higher education won't support Evergreen at our
current monetary level. We are looking at a 3 to 7 percent cut in our
budget.
Unlike the previous 10 percent
budget-cut exercise, this round of
cuts was not caused by a directive
from the governor's office.
President Olander instructed the
four main sectors of the college,
academics, college relations, the
business office, and student services
to come up with tentative proposals
of cuts- in their areas.
According to Provost Patrick
Hill, who is in charge of organizing
academic's budget-cut proposal,
academics is doing an exercise in cutting between 2 and 5 percent of their
portion of the budget, and the other
three main sectors must create ten-

tative cuts of from 4 to 7 percent of
their funds.
Academics is only allowed to cut
up to 5 percent of their budget,
because state law requires Evergreen
to maintain a certain budget level per
student on an enrollment basis.
The budget cuts will not be across
the board, and, because of previous
budget cuts, nothing is left to cut
horizontally. Budget cut decisions
are going to be made with the
understanding that all four sectors
of the college are intertwined. Any
cutting decisons in one area will have
reprecussions in the other three
areas.
A progress report from
academics, student services, college
relations, and the business office will
be presented to President Olander on
June 3. He will soon choose
representatives from all four groups
to help him form an overall budget
cut plan, " I will be calling certain
people in to talk to them." Then the
proposals will be submitted to the
Board of Trustees. They will make
the final budget cut decisions.
Dean David Marr, member of the
recently formed Temporary Budget
and Planning Committee for
Academics, said, "What we're doing at this point is we're coming to
grips with the fact that we'll be proposing cuts."
The committee members include
five faculty members: Rudy Martin,
Charlie Teske, Russ Lidman,
Michael Beug and Lynn De Danaan.
They represent varying faculty fields
from the arts to the sciences. All the
deans are also on the committee, and

two student representatives.
The committee is considering 7
critieria for evaluating the cuts in
academics. While looking at a program, the committee members will
consider the following: Student demand for the program, whether it's
a high priority to students or not, the
quality of the faculty and student
performance within a program,
whether the program can be cut as
a unit, or if it is a necessary portion
of an intigrated program, the cost
per student of a program, if the program is offered at other state schools
or is unique to Evergreen, if the pro-

gram is central to the mission of the
college, and lastly, the amount of
faculty support for a program.
While making academic budget
cut recommendations, the committee is focusing on the central missions of the college. At least 15
definitions of the central mission of
the college are floating around.
"We are certainly a college with
an
emphasis
on
quality
undergraduate education, and coordinated studies."said Patrick Hill.
When the committee is evaluating
a program one question is "how

does this relate to being integralliberal-arts studies?"

Hill added that the four sectors
the college must reach an agreeme
on principles before people leave f
the summer.
At the last faculty meetin
Patrick Hill told faculty membe
they'd hear incredible amounts i
rumors, "And it's true, everythii
is being considered."
Hill will be holding an open foru
Tuesday from 12 to 1 to answi
questions on the tentative budget o
proposals.

Budget cut anguish begins all over again
by Carla Casper
Although all areas of Evergreen's
budget will be cut next year, the
potential
cut-backs
in student
services, including the library and all
media related services, would limit
students' access to media equipment
and diminish academic opportunities
as well.
Judith Espinola, Coordinator of
Media Services, said, "The most we
can do is eliminate functions. We're
not recommending that students be
cut. We're down to the bone as it
is."
Some staff positions would be
eliminated if the 7 percent cut goes
into effect. Without staff to help
students check-out equipment,
students will have a hard time gaining access to it. The staff positions

the
proposal
recommends
eliminating are not definite, but
"it's a list of where we have to begin
if we have to," said Espinola.
At best, student services would
have to eliminate $54,000 from the
1985 budget. To accomplish this, a
staff position in the documents section of the library and the electronic
media producer would be cut.
For students this would mean
limited access to document checkout, and access to the 16 track recording studio would only be available
to students who have prior experience.
Faculty member Terry Setter, who
taught this year's advanced audio
class, said they've had about 3 exercises in cutting their budgets.
Setter said, "That plunged the
morale to an all time low." Setter

said he got used to the budget cut e
ercises. "I'm saying, okay, may
this will happen."
If media producer Peter Randlei
is laid off because of budget cul
very few students will actually ha
access to the 16 track recordii
studio, if any. Setter added, "Oi
of our mottos is, we're not trai
school, but people who want to {
to college and learn 16 track are o
of luck."

"I've been killing myself teachii
...I'm really doing two modules ar
a program, but knock on any doc
around here and you'll hear the san
story," said Setter.
Setter said, "In terms of musii
we're getting hurt," and the on]
way to reduce the pressure is to hii
new faculty, but that is not likely t
happen.

Garden project seeks summer volunteers
by Rowland Zoller
This spring six Evergreeners,
together with student and faculty
from Garfield Elementary School,
have been engaged in a singular and
rewarding academic enterprise—the
Garfield Garden Project.

practical living skills," said Tom
Stohler, an Evergreen senior involved with the project.

Working within the local public
school system, these intrepid interns
are teaching classes in organic
gardening to over 170 children in the
first and fourth grades. A large
organic garden, complete with raised
beds, composting area, and passive
solar greenhouse, provides a unique
hands-on learning environment for
both the interns and the
schoolchildren involved.

"Hopefully, this experience can
help kids in their everyday lives and
provide them with the beginnings of
an environmental ethic they can use
and expand upon as they grow older.
We also try to instill in the kids a
sense of wonder; the garden is a
special place where we can observe
firsthand some of the magic inherent
in natural processes. Watching a
seed sprout or finding out how a
compost pile works can be a pretty
illuminating occurence to a child. Or
to an adult, for that matter," Stohler
said.

"Organic gardening is the vehicle
we use to teach children a sense of
individual awareness, and some

The Garfield Garden Project has
been in operation since the spring of
1981. Since that time it has become

an accepted and welcome part of the
Garfield curriculum. Teachers and
elementary students at the school are
enthusiastic in their support of the
project and of the interns.
Recently, students in the fourth
grade wrote letters of appreciation

"finding out how a compost
pile works can be a pretty illuminating experience to a
child. O to an adult."
and their teacher presented the
"Garfield Gardeners" with a thankyou card for their work done this
quarter.
One problem the garden faces is
a shortage of enthusiastic, self-

motivating interns and/or volunteers
to continue the project next fall.
"We are working to increase our
visibility in the academic community," said Stohler. "We are officially part of the Ecological Agriculture
program for next year and even have
a description written up for the new
catalogue. What we really need for
the fall of '85, though, is a core
group of six to ten advanced level
students to continue the work done
so far. The plan is to expand upon
this spring's teaching with an introduction to winter gardening and
greenhouse techniques."
If you're interested in participating in the Garfield Garden
Project as an intern or volunteer,
feel free to contact the Center for
Community Development, Co-op
Ed., or one of the Garfield
Gardeners for more details.

PIRG questions integrity of U.S. Dept. of Energy
by Brett Redfearn
Oftentimes when the issue of Hanford and the disposal of nuclear
waste comes up, people respond:
"Well, ya know, they have to put it
somewhere."
A common misconception is that
WashPIRG is solely fighting to keep
this plutonium poison out of
Washington. The real concern is that
the safest place be found for this
growing bulk of spent fuel. In
following the political process that
will decide the fate of this waste, and
perhaps the state, WashPIRG acts to
see that this process is carried
through with integrity; that the three
"best sites" for a nuclear repository
are truly those.
The integrity of the United States
Department of Energy (USDOE) is
in question. Washington State has
begun to take on the role of keeping their site-selection process in
check. Meanwhile, a rift is forming
between the state and federal
governments.
This rift will be significant in the
further processes that may unload
77,000 tons of high-level radioactive
nuclear waste into Washington.
Although the decision should be bas-

ed on safety, Handford's nomination as a potential site is believed to
be due to political expediency.
One of the political reasons why
Hanford was nominated was the
cooperation of the state with the
federal government. When
Washington was under the leadership of Governor Spellman, the state
was all too willing to deal with the
USDOE.
Unlike other states chosen as
potential sites, Washington formed
a state Nuclear Waste Board
(NWB). The NWB willingly started
to negotiate a Consultation and
Cooperation (C&C) agreement with
the federal government. This
"agreement" could hardly be called that, and despite much consultation there was not much cooperation. The C&C revealed that the
USDOE will hear what Washington
State has to say, although they may
choose not to listen.
Fortunately, the state has begun
to take a more active role in questioning various issues. The first major point of dissension between the
state and the USDOE has been that
the USDOE is unwilling to include
Defense Wastes in the C&C agreement. The inclusion of procedures

Competitors in tennis tournament
find rewards through play and work
by Tim Quam
The Evergreen Memorial Day
Tennis Tournament, held last
weekend, was Evergreen's .alter^
native fund raiser. After the Run for
Your Mom and the Geoduck Gallop
it was time for a fund raiser for
another sport, tennis.
The tournament was put on by
two members of the Evergreen Tennis team, Rocke Klockner and Ben
Chotzen. Klockner and Chotzen felt
that athletes interested in helping
with the fund raiser put on by the
Athletic department would have
more interest in getting something
out of their participation than in collecting pledges.
The Evergreen Memorial Day
Tournament was an all-comers
event. It cost five dollars to enter,
and for the entry fee, tennis players
were treated to a weekend of competition. The tournament started
Friday night and continued until
Sunday.
Forty athletes entered in six divisions. The tournament was successful, and brought the Athletic
department some $200.
"It went pretty well," commented
Klockner. "Most people had fun
and were glad they entered."

It sounds like it must have been
a pretty fun tournament to put
together. But Klockner found out
differently.
"It takes up a lot of time, a
helluva lot of time," said Klockner.
After spending the last couple
weeks setting it up, and the better
part of last week organizing the tournament, Klockner (and Chotzen,
who also competed), had difficulty
concentrating on playing.
"If I did it again I wouldn't be in
it," Chotzen said.
Klockner also considered his feeling about doing it again: "We
wouldn't want to run it and play."
They also said it was difficult
because they were still organizing
games while they were on the court,
in the middle of a match.
Yet others enjoyed the fruits of
the organizers' labors—the winners.

for handling defense wastes in the
C&C is crucial if any realistic study
is to be done on the impact different
Hanford facilities make on the surrounding environment. This question of defense wastes is a battle still
being fought between the state and
the USDOE.
The second major discussion between the USDOE and the state arose
when the draft Environmental
Assessment (EA) was released. The
draft EA contains studies done by
the USDOE that assess the environmental characteristics of the
potential nuclear repository sites.
The draft EAdone at Hanford not
only contains insubstantial data, but
its siting guidelines are "ambiguous
and contain several potential
defects" making it "hopelessly flawed" according to the Washington
Commissioner of Public Lands.
These siting guidelines alone have
been cause enough for the state to
file a lawsuit against the USDOE.
This litigation is significant in showing an attempt by the state to take
a stand in dealing with the USDOE,
further revealing the growing gulf
between the two governments.
Washington has entered into
another law suit, this one with the
State of Nevada. This case involves
the states' desire to collect their own
data. Past experience has shown that
the USDOE is not a reliable data
source. The outcome of the Nevada
case will set a precedent for future
USDOE policy. If Nevada is successful, then Washington will probably be able to get funds for their
own data collecting activites. If

A typical nuclear industrialist

Nevada loses, then Washington must
either rely on the questionable
USDOE data, or find an alternative
approach.
Two suits have already been filed
by the State of Washington, yet for
the most part the NWB continues to
submit to the ruling hand of the
USDOE. One must question
whether the USDOE will come
around to a respectable and honest
procedural ethic, or if hope for such
a change is overly optimistic. If there
is no procedural change, the state's

continued cooperation may not be in
their best interests. As long at the
USDOE's primary interest is to find
a quick dump site, regardless of the
state's interests, non-cooperation
must be more thoroughly
considered.
The gulf between Washington
State and the Federal government is
growing. The state seems to be in a
position where it has to choose between trying to fight a big tough bully, or passively accepting a series of
abuses. Although law states (as written in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act)
that all of Washington's expenses
surrounding the site selection process
should be federally funded, it is not
clear whether the costs of litigation
will be borne by the USDOE. The
state has asked for litigation funds,
yet so far the answer has been "no".
It has become very expensive for
Washington State to let the nation
unload its collection of high-level
radioactive waste on state land.
The underlying seriousness of the
steps now being taken by the
USDOE
is
dangerously
underestimated. Closer examination
reveals a direct disregard for both
state and federal laws. Distrust of
the federal government is no longer
unusual, and the deceptions come as
often as does rain in Washington
State. With this understanding, we
are forced to respond in some way,
whether it be active or inactive. If
one truly recognized the implication
of bypassing safety regulations when
dealing with the disposal of highlever radioactive waste, complete
passivity could be pathological.
