apparent breakdown in campus
communication about rape, women's
safety or the grievance procedure.
"At least some people feel that they
have reached a point where they can no
longer have a conversation [about these
issues]. They have to scream with a bag
over their heaqs, in effect," said President
Jane Jervis.
Jervis and Vice-President for Student
Affairs Art Costantino said that thci Rape
Response Protocol Group (RRPG) is a
possible remedy for such problems.
However, the RRPG was not developed by
the Administratiol). Rather, the RRPG was
created by staff and students two years
ago to examine how rape reports are
responded to by various groups and
individuals at TESC.

After campus protest, Vice President
for Student Affairs Art Costantino
announced the college's decision not to
pursue criminal charges against two
students who allegedly caused about
$2,000 worth of graffiti damage on
campus.
Kimya Dawson and Deanna Brown
have identified themselves as the two
suspects in the case. Both Brown and
Dawson have been active in challenging
TESC's rape response through official
channels prior to this incident.
The women were apprehended in the
CAB by Public Safety Officer Lana
Brewster at approximately 3: 15 a.m., Tues,
May 25. Brewster responded to a phone
report of graffiti and apprehended the two
women when she hean! the raule of a
spray-paint agitator in one of their sleeves.
Brown and Dawson are the only
persons being questioned about this case at
this time. Evidence against the two

The elimination of the Student
Manager position marks the end of an era
for Housing residents.
"You really get to be a part of the
persons' life ... "· said Curtis Goodman,
who has been a Student Manager for the
past two years. "I've had to teach some
guys how to tie knots in their ties."
The 12 Student Managers will be
replaced by four Assistant Resident
Managers (ARMs) and nine Housing
Stewards in the 1993-94 acad~mic year.
"Since the Stewards will not be
taking counseling, they'll tend to ... lose
some of that one-on-one contact [that
Student Managers had]," said Goodman.
The four ARMs will primarily be
respdnsible for counseling, crisis
intervention and me,diation for Housing
residents. Due to the intensive nature of
their work, ARMs are asked not to register
for full-time classes or seek employment
beyond their Housing duties.
ARMs will be paid approximately
$400 per month, as . well as receiving a
free one-bedroom apartment and local-use

telephone line.
Stewards will be paid $200 to $400
per month, but unlike ARMs or former
Student Managers, Stewards will not
receive a rent waiver for an underoccupied private room. Instead, Stewards
will share rooms like "normal" Housing
residents, allowing Housing to rent more
beds next year.
The nine Housing Stewards will be
further broken down into two types: four
Office Assistant Stewards and five
Custodial Stewards.
Office Assistant Stewards will share
receptionist and clerk/typist duties, and
"should be organized, warm, friendly,
enthusiastic, patient and able to work well
under pressure," according to Housing's
job description.
Custodial Stewards will unclog
toilets, turn off smoke alarms, deal with
lock-outs and exchange EF linen.
Custodial Stewards will als6 clean public
areas of Housing and EF rooms.

to approve the Student Loan Reform Act,
which would simplify the student loan
system, make repayment casier, reduce
interest rates for students and save

taxpayers billions of dollars.
The new bill would offer students
the opponunity to repay loans on an
income-contingent basis through EXCEL
accounts. The Student Loan Reform Act
would also replace the current Federal
Family Education Loan Program with a
new Federal Direct Student Loan program.
In this program, colleges and trade schools
would use federal capital to make loans

The administration has no policy to
prioritize graffiti removal. According to
Les Purce, removal is based on graffiti
content, placement and campus response.
The effect graffiti has on the
community is one gauge the administration
uses to determine an appropriate response.
Purce maintains the administration goes
unaware of much ofthe graffiti.
"Things come to our attention in
proportion to how people are reacting,"
said Purce.
Each graffiti incident that does come
to the attention of the administration is
viewed on a case-by-case basis. Special
attention is given to obscene, offensive, or
provocative language. These terms are not
well defined.

When students felt the internal

put up flyers around campus in an attempt
to inform the community. However, these
flyers were swiftly removed, thus
prompting a more "penn anent" message in

President Jane Jervis and Executive
Vice-President Les Puree had left campus
early that afternoon for reasons unrelated
to the 'graffiti.

the form of graffiti.
"If there wasn't graffiti and
alternative acts, it would have been blown
under the rug," said a student involved
with this fall's "rape"graffiti, who also
felt the CPJ had been unhelpful with its
coverage of the incident.
.
Graffiti removal is a costly
endeavor. Since July of 1992, the college
has spent $9,203. George Leago, Buildings
and Grounds supervisor, explains both he
and his staff are taxed by the extra,
primarily weekend hours they work to
safely remove the graffiti. He recommends
other methods of communication: KAOS,
Flyers, or the CPJ.
Leago recalls questioning a student
caught writing graffiti: "He told me in a
class he was taking they were discussing
graffiti as a method of communicating in
a situation where you have lost your
voice," said Leago.
Leago empathizes with people
globally that have had their right to free
speech taken away, but feels Evergreen
students do have freedom of speech in
other forms besides graffiti on campus.
"These buildings are a form of art,
when a person's commissioned, you don't
tell them what to do, because then you get
into the question of whose morality is the
best," said Leago.
"Graffiti alienates the cause people'
are fighting for," said Leago . ."How does
that [graffiti] gain friends for a cause?"

Valentine ViliardofHaiti was'r eleased

to make them go away. If we lived in a
world were privilege did not exist and we
were all equals in our interactions, then we
could act as though all opinions are equally valid on all subjects. But oppression is

It shouldn't be necessary to explain
to other women that " Dead Men Don't
Rape" doesn't even imply that all men
should be exterminated. It is a clear and
powerful expression of anger against men
who rape. If you feel threatened by that
anger then maybe you should question
where your loyalties lie. "Dead Women
Don't Resist" is not satire, is not clever
and is not anything but a revolting perpetuation of a misogynist threat of violence
which women live with every day. Evenstar (5/13 CPJ) is right - there are sexist

Loren's Top 10 Ways Housing
Sticks It to You
The Almighty Board of Trustees will
most likely give their blanket approval to
another 6.5 percent Housing rent increase
next year. This represents a 20 percent increase in the last three years. Here's why:
10. Student managers. What has a Student Manager done for you lately? A-dorm
had a Manager mysteriously disappear this
year. Residents will not see a refund for
the lack of serVices. Housing is trying to
install "Housing Stewards" for next year,
but is having trouble fIlling the positions.
Would you want to dedicate your college
career to Housing bureaucracy? Good
luck.
9. Less square rootage ror your dollar.
Add up Ihe total rent that you and your
roommates pay. Now, how big a house
would that get you in west Oly?
8. $50 for lost keys. If you lose your
keys, Ihey cfiange your locks - you have
no choice. It is a five minute procedure.
Do they let you carry duplicates? f':l'o.
Most residents carry Ihree keys. You do
the math.

5. Staff salaries. Housing maintains ten
full-time professional staff positions - jobs
that would often be better done by students. What has the front office done for
you lately? They are receiving anolher
raise next year.
.
.
4. Budget from hell. Take a look at the
Housing budget sheet. It contains a myriad
of mysterious outlays - such as half a
million dollars for "bond interest expenses." This, incidently, is about how
much Housing clears each year. Where do
the profits go?
3. Clean up. This is a big one. At the end
of the year, plan to get soaked at the rate
of $l8 an hour for cleaning. Of course
they don't pay Ihe crews anywhere near
that. Get· Ihose appeals forms ready, because no matter how much you clean, Ihey
will find ways to charge you.
2, Empty rooms. Because it costs so
much to live in Housing, many students
move off campus (or in Ihe woods) by
spring quarter, leaving vacant dorm room s.
Guess who pays the difference?
And the Number One way that Housing
sticks it to you ...
Lame washers and dryers. ' Nuff said.

I would like to start off by stating
that I am not in fact a member of the
Evergreen Community, I am a 'member of
the Washington University Community
(the one in St. Louis, not the one up
north). I am however, a lifelong Evergreen
State resident (except Ihese three-plus
hellish years in St. Louis), and I spend a
good deal of my vacation time visiting my
Greener friends, one of whom recently
told me about KAOS's plans regarding
using student funds to upgrade Ihe station
and ultimately fund their move off
campus, becoming a "community" radio
station. I find this even more disturbing
than what happened with KCMU in
SeatLle, and KDHX here in St. Louis. All
three of those radio stations were at one
time excellent, VOLUNTEER run college
radio stations with room for anyone from
the university community who wished. to
participate. KDHX (the one here in St.
Louis) then moved off of its college
campus and became an average
community radio station. KCMU has only
gone half Ihat far, but somehow I don't
think it will stop ·lhere, and KAOS is
about to jump on the wagon.
At Ihis point you may be asking why
I care about this enough to take time out
from studying for mt fmals to write about
this. I have been a DJ and Assistant Music
Director at KWUR, Ihe campus radio
station here at Washington U. for over
three years. KWUR is a tiny (to watts,
one of only 20 or so left in Ihe U.S.,
thanks to the FCC), all student volunteer_
(except the Station Manager who has to
work over the summer and gets · a $500
stipend) run radio station which recently
received mention as one of the Gavin
Report's Top Five Stations in the country.
(Gavin is a trade publication.) The people '
who work at KWUR do it because they
love music and enjoy sharing new music
with other people via the airwaves over St.
Louis. This is the kind of station Ihat
KAOS used to be (I used to listen to it all
the time when I visited Olympia, now I
just make sure I bring lots of tapes wilh
me), and Ihe kind of station that KAOS
should continue to be. If student funds are
used to run a radio station, the n all
students who wish to get involved should
be able to. How much longer before paid
'~programming" appears and KAOS loses
all touch with what a college/community
radio station should be?

G,FT:
Best Wishes
& Good Luck
Recently an attempt was made by
the administration to reduce or remove
KWUR's funding (we get four dollars
from every student's activity fee to run the
station). When word got out that this
would mean no more 24-hour student run
radio, no more free concerts (we
sponsored free shows by Negativland,
Arcwelder, Superchunk, Cordelia's Dad
and Yo La Tengo this year alone), the
student body went crazy and voted not
only to continue our funding, but to
increase it as well. I mention this not in
order to pat myself and my station on the
back, but in order to show the students at
Evergreen that if they care at all that their
"student" radio station is being taken .over
by corporate interests, Ihey need to speak
out College radio stations are losing
ground every day to commercial radio
interests such as The End, The Beat
(portland), and The Point (St Louis),
stations who claim to be alternative and
progressive, but still only play the one or
two songs the record companies tell them
they can play. This is not what alternative
music is about, nor is it what alternative,
non-commercial radio is about.
From what I understand about the
KAOS situation, it is more or less a loss
in tenus of keeping it a student run '
station. My suggestion to the Evergreen
Community is this: demand (you al l are
really good at that whole protest thing)
that student funding be eliminated for
KAOS. Period. They will then move off
campus, become a lame community radio
station and Ihen a lame commercial
station, and students could take the money
formerly used for KAOS and start up a
new station (If ' they bought equipment
with student funds, it belongs to the
students and Ihey can't take it wilh them)
open to all students who wish to
participate on an all volunteer basis. You
will be surprised at how many people will
want to help out (we have a campus the
same size as Evergreen and get about 150200 DJ applications every semester), and
how much better small college radio is
than what KAOS is providing now.
I invite responses and questions
regarding Ihis letter or aboul running a
small campus radio station, so feel free to
write to CP1 or myself.

Hillaire reDlelllbered
by Colleen Ray
"There do exist among people significant differences," Mary Hillaire said it
many times. She was a nationally
acclaimed Indian educator, social worker
and philosopher. A Lummi woman who
touched the minds of her students with her
words, and we all grew. She brought her
own oral traditions in to Ihe classroom and
insisted that we listeJl, "Put down your
pencils ... we're going to talk, we are all
teachers and students here." In Ihis way
she shared her authority and began her
lessons on personal authority Ihat we
would each cultivate in ourselves over the
course of a lifetime. According to Mary
Hillaire, personal aulhority is based on
self-knowledge, self-control and selfesteem. It is what makes it possible to live
one' s private life publicly. Any of her
students are welcome to drop in and participate in the ongoing discussion which are
the legacy of her teaching methods in the
Native American Studies Program. She
referred to Ihis as life long learning, open
entry - open exit, take-what-you-neededucation.
She took Ihe basic public education
concept of education for all, to education
for each. Taking Ihat personal approach,
she asked, "What do you need to know the
best YOU can be?" and we fllied out the
Individual Learning Contract for which
The Evergreen State College is so well
known. In Ihat partnership, she counselled
each student to define what we would do,
how we would do it, and what difference
it would make. Within Ihat context, I
learned that I had the necessary authority
to make my own decisions and Ihe responsibility to take action. What I do and how
I do it makes a difference, for good or ill,
on myself and in my community.
lowe Mary a great debt for agreeing
to participate so personally in my education. It was with a sense of wanting to
giye something back, so personally to
assert my authority, and to complete an
assignment she had given me many years
before, Ihat I began to ask questions about
the Longhouse at Evergreen. She and I
had worked on the project as a means of
expanding and improving the Native
American Studies Program back in the late
70s. Its purpose was to provide a place for.
Indians to feel welcome on campus, and to.
allow a cultural exchange in a hospitable
environment, She asked me to keep working on it, as she had asked olhers, when
she found put her time with us would soon
be done. She walked on ten years ago, but
her light lingers.
I returned to Evergreen to pursue a
Masters Degree in Public Administration.
I chose the Longhouse as a focus of my
Applications Project to examine organ-
izational change and how change is resisted. The Longhouse had been declared by
the Native American Studies Program as
THE priority item to improve educational
service delivefy. My question was "What
had blocked its progress in the context of
public policy?" My thesis team researched
the process of agenda setting (that nebulous area of pre-policy jostling for attention, position, and consequent resource
allocation) to fmd out why the Longhouse
never scored high enough to get funding.
We discovered that the executive
office of any organization detennines the
direction and force of an institutional
agenda. The media also plays a big role in
agenda setting by reflecting what is
happening in the larger system, and focusing attention on certain issues. We found
that the supreme instrument of power is
keeping issues OFF the agenda.
In the summer of '92, Jane Jervis
looked at the history of the Longhouse
Project and accepted the challenge to
change Ihe organization. She put it at the
top of her agenda and directed her whole
staff to make it happen now. She has the
aulhorization and full support o,f the Board
of Trustees. But it is from her own inlegrity and personal authority that she made
the decision to take afflfJTlative action for
the good of the whole system. Her decisive action. has made a very significant
. difference.
Her administrative team put designs
together with the help of Native Americans on campus; calculated ·the costs and
benefits of building Ihe facility; and,
presented a proposal to the WashingtOn
State Legislature for full funding in the
amount of 2.1 million dollars. The facility
will accommodate Ihe expanded enrollment of new students as allowed by the
Higher Education Coordinating board for
Ihe next ten years.
The education that can transpire in
Ihe Longhouse should be for the benefit of
each and all of us. It will also provide the
bridge for cultural exchange Ihat Mary
Hillaire saw as such a necessary element
to mutually shared authority and unders tanding for the full functioning of a
whole community. IT will promote both
cultural literacy and cultural relevance in
a world of people who represent a full
spectrum of significant and necessary
differences:
Thank you Jane, Russ, Les, Steve,
Jennifer, Jon, the Longhouse Cultural
Education Center Planning Com~ittee,
Tribes and Indian Organizations. Our work
. has put us on the Governor's budget for
the 93-95 Biennium.
Thank you Mary - your lessons keep
coming through. Love, Colleen.

Natalie's hip: Maniacs spawn beau·tiful evening
10,000 MANIACS
SUNDAY, MAY 23
LIVE AT THE PARAMOUNT
by Pat Castaldo
Lately there have been few things
worth jumping up and down about.
Feeling the soft hand of Ms. Natalie
Merchant, the musical goddess of my most
privaie fantasies, fmnly held in my own
shaking one - well, jumping doesn't begin
to cover it. I shook Natalie's hand, and in
that, this is more of a bragging session
than a review.
The stage was fairly plain and
simple - three painted backdrops were
straight from the album cover - and the
lights were fairly low key. There were no
large puppet masks, nor any flowing
dresses; my love donned a short black
dress, perfectly fit, with white tights and
darling shoes. Rob, the guitarist who
resembles an older Frank Black (Black
Francis), wore a multi-color horizontally
stripped shirt' - sharp. The rest of the
band's clothing remains a blank void in
my mind. Mostly, my eyes found
themselves focused on that fined dress.
The music filled my ears with
inspiration. They played a fairly good mix
of new and old, including a lot of covers
that aren't on any album. Natalie sang
"Everyday is lik~ Sunday" as it was meant
to be sung; Morissey really can't hold a
candle to her. Her voice was rich and
strong, despite the small cold she seemed
to be suffering through with the occasional
pound to the chest The last three albums
each received their share, songs from In
My Tribe and Blind Man' s Zoo receiving
new life from Rob' s new guitar solos, and
Natalie's increased sexuality.
Unfortunately, they choose not to sing
from The Wishing Chair,. in particular
" Cotton Alley," which was a frequently
screamed request (myself contributing).
Natalie danced, sang and spoke to us
with a style beautifully all her own. The
man who sat behind me, however, did not

financial, emotional, sexual and spiritual
repressors of the. members of those
particular sects.
While these issues are of primary
importance to SALVAGES, another may be
of even greater importance: the concept of
hope. As in Eliot's works, hope becomes
a focal point If so many people feel
abandoned by the institutions that at one
time offered hope, where do they go to
find hope again? And how do we make
contact with hope and each other?
Although cynicism is rampant, many of us
still attempt to make human contact. It
seems to be an integral need for us to
connect on a spiritual or emotional level
with other people. Perhaps it is the ability
to express the need that enables us to
make the connection we desire.
All performances are free, but
reservations are required; call 866-6833.
In "The Wasteland," he expresses the
difficulties of existing in a world where all
the old forms of government and morality
seem to have been destroyed. Eliot speaks
of the emotional devastation of watching
friends and family fall apart be~use they
no longer know why they should stay
together. He touches on the loss of faith in
governments, people and the divine.
In many ways, Eliot could be writing
about the world today. These issues are
powerful ones our own society currently
deals with.
.
In SALVAGES, the Moving Image
Theatre group works with the meaning of
Eliot's poetry to our own era.
It's easy to see how the loss of trust
and faith is reflected in the world today. It
is commonly accepted that "government,;'
whoever it may be at the time, will lie to
the people being governed. Many
organized religions are seen as being the

SALVAGES explores emotional themes of Eliot's poems
by Diane Major
The Moving Image Theatre program
of TESC performs its new production
SALVAGES at 8 p.m., May 27 through 29
in the Experimental Theater. This
performance piece is based on the works
of T.S. Eliot, specifically his poems "The
Wasteland" and the "Four Quartets."
Moving Image Theatre worked on
the production collaboratively; the final
piece is the result of the entire group's
responses to Eliot's works. SALVAGES is
a deconstruction of the major themes of
Eliot's poems. The similarities between
Eliot's generation and modem times are
striking. In both eras, feelings of
emotional and physical isolation, alienation
and devastation are signifi~nt in the
everyday lives of citizens.
Eliot wrote movingly about his "Lost
Generation"; those who came of age
between World War I and World War II.

No, we're not giving you your own personal time
warp so you can finish perfecting your t-an lines. But when
you pay for two months' storage at Shurgard, you get the
third month free. Which is almost as good. Because when
you go home this summer, you won't have to try roping your
plaid sofa and dayglo bean bag chairs onto the back of your
mountain bike.
