Hair blows behind

Striding long

You cannot see me yet

resolutely:
Walking with such purpose,

Then eyes meet

Two members of The Evergreen State
College Swim Team, Brad Carlson and
Craig Erickson, will participate in the
National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics (NAlA) championship meet in
Canton, Ohio this weekend
A
third
Evergreen
Swimmer,
sophomore Sara Applegate. qualified for
the meet but will not attend.
Carlson captured two titles, the 100and 200-yard breast stroke, at last
week's NAIA District 1 and 2
championship meet at the Evergreen pool.
Erickson fmished fourth in the 1650-yard
(one mile) swim, and Applegate qualified
in the 400 Individual Medley and the 200
Butterlly.
Carlson's victories in the breast
stroke events placed him in the record
books as the fITSt Evergreen swimmer to
win an event at a district meet His time
of 1:01.27 in the 100 was a school
record and a personal record. In the 200,
Carlson set a meet record with a time of
2:11.09.
First year coach AIdo Melchim is
elated with the team's success at last
week's meet. Melchiori, who was coach
for the Malaysian national team in the
early 1980s, feels that even those who
did not advance to the championship
meet did an outstanding job.
"All of our swimmers bad great

"It feels great to put Bv~ in the

Olympia High School, of his victories.
"I'm swimming belt« than I eVe&' have,

"I'm honored to represent my beloved

Ericlcson claims the "lOW-intensity"
style of the swim program at EVergreeil
has attributed to his recen~ success.
"I like swimming here because it's
not a big 'military style' swim program
like they have at Pacific Lutheran
University," he said.
"Evergreen
swimming philosophy parallels its
academic philosophy.
We (the
swimmers) colllrol how hard we work,
rather than the coach."
Melchiori agrees with Erickson.
"When I was coaching in Malaysia.

which occurred on the beach ttail and
between the CAB and the Library
Building. Meeker also said preliminary
results from a recent survey showed 14
percent of the women respondents
reported incidents of sexual assault on
campus.
Meeker quoted statistics from Andrea
Dworkin's Letter from a War Zone as she
discussed violence against women. For
example, a woman is beaten by a man
every 18 seconds in the United States,
making wonuln beating the most
commonly committed crime in the
country. She also quoted statistics on the
frequency of rape and incest, saying there
are an estimated 16,000 new cases of
father/daugh~ incest a year.
Meeker also addressed more specific
dangers. "Women put their lives on the
front line in this struggle: she said,
referring to the recent murder of 14
women on a Montreal college campus.

Clarification
The future of feminism
by TiDa Cook
Feminist fJlmmaker/faculty membe&'
Laurie Meeker would like Evergreen to
offer free self defense classes for women
and to include feminist theory in all core
programs.
Meeker proposed the changes for
Evergreen when she spoke on the future
of feminism in the '90s as part of
International Women's Week events in
the Library Lobby Monday.
Meeker said while she doesn't
advocate a required curriculum, she
would like to see feminist theory taught
across the boa¢.
Meeker said she was excited by the
fact that a "commitment to sexual
equality and' multiculturalisrn is part of
my job description." Evergreen has a
better record than most colleges in tenns
of women and people of color being
faculty, Meeker said, although the college
has not yet achieved parity in ' its
female/male faculty member ratio.
Addressing women's safety OIl
campus, Meeker cited recenl incidents of
year's team, Melchiori hopes to see more
people jOin the program in the next few
his life in a suicide note. Something like
the Montreal murders, Meeker said,
"could happen anywhere, even here, to
my students."
"In the face of this terrorism women
have organized and resisted," she added.
Speaking of other issues, Meeker
discussed the harm pornography does to
women, describing it as a civil rights
issue, and attacked liberal feminism for
lacking analysis involving race and class.
She also slreSsed the importance of
educating young people "who only know
the activism of the '60s as some distant
historical moment"
After Meeker's presentation, the
microphone was opened to members oi
the audience who addressed the need for
women to speak out on important issues,
avoid bacltstabbing, support those not yet
strong enough to stand up for themselves.
anti-Semitism and general issues of
racism.

Contras. 11lese are all intentional acts of
bribery. Latin America has a history of a
myth: The myth that the United States
knows what is best for the region. For
the last ten years the FSLN, the Frente,
provided an exception.
United States intrusion is not new
here. The United States has invaded
Nicaragua over 30 times in the past 150
years. After ten years of pressure, the
Nicaragua people decided to call Uncle
Sam one more time. Not even defeated
president Daniel Ortega blames them. He
simply says, "it was a mistake." When
people want to end a war; when people
want to eat, they vote with their stomach
not with their politics.
An election in Nicaragua does not
resemble a bipartisan race. In the United
States, life changes little when one party
takes power from another.
Brian Wilson, an activist who lost
his legs trying to stop a mWlitions train,
stated, "the U.S. is a COWltry of one
party with two right wings."
victory will cost many lives. Many
people here feel their sacrifices during
and after the revolution were spent in
vain. The Sandinistas represent antiimperialism more than Marxism. Bush
has successfully re-opened the doors for
U.S. business interests. Here lies the fatal
flaw plaguing the Sandinistas all along.
They want the Nicaraguan people to run
their own country.
The people have given much; more
wiU be taken from them. They voted out
of desperation- in hopes of peace.
Rumor is hard to separate from fact
here, but stories of UNO's agenda
flourish. One story maintains Violetta
Chamarro will close the schools for a
year to rewrite the books.
The Frente regroups. They still have
40% suppon-- more than any other party
in Nicaragua UNO consists of 14 diverse
parties. The people will survive whatever
comes their way-- they always have.
Daniel Onega and Sandinista Frentes
have delivered one "free and fair"
election. N<Hlne else in Central America
can claim this. Also they have, for ten
years, set an example for revolutionaries
everywhere: You can fight the power and
win.
Somoza family. The root meaning of
democracy comes from the Greek demoskratos. i.e., "people power" or "people
rule." When the FSLN took over in 1979
they established dozens of popular
organizations to express the will of the
people. They also set into motion an
electoral process which led to the fIrst
democratic elections this century--in 1984.
(It should be noted that the fIrst national
elections in the United States were in
1824, 35 years after the Constitution was
adopted, and the fust elections when a
majority of United States citizens could
vote was in 1920, 131 years after the
original constitution.)
The 1984 Nicaraguan elections
(which I also observed) were won by the
FSLN by a margin of 67 percent over six
other parties. The 1984 elections were
judged free and fair by the international
community--with the exception of the
Reagan State Department which, in the
post Iran-Contragate era, we now know
was unwilling or unable to give accurate
information about Central America
By 1990, the toll of the war with
over 30,000 dead, the devastated
economy--caused by the war and the U.S.
embargo-and the unpopularity of the
draft caused a majority of voting
Nicaraguans to take a chance for change
and vote for UNO. Since UNO's Violetta
Chamorro is closely tied to - the United
States, the chance taken by Nicaraguans
for the end of the war was a rational
one, although unfortunately it may be a
mistaken one.
The 1980s have demonstrated that the
Reagan and Bush administrations were
and are totally lacking any concern for

The crowd broke loose. (deafening
applause and chair banging) Fifteen
minutes passed before Carter attempted
an answer, "I have never agreed with
U.S. policy towards Nicaragua... I have
always felt it was a mistake."
Eliot Richardson, head of the United

important thing is to look forward, this is

Several reporters yelled, "after thirty

press conference ended in a matter of
minutes. Afterwards, one congressman
called the heckling immature.
Of the many reasons for the
Sandinistas' defeat, foremost lies blatant
racial intimidation and disempowennent.

be nice to Nicaragua?" Carter let out his
big Georgia smile and answered that he
hoped so; he hoped the Nicaraguan
people would be freed from their

The next question insured that Carter
would not get off so easily. A Mexican
journalist demanded, "Why couldn't the

program, allowing each to bridge the
generation gap. By interviewing union
retirees, students had the unique
opponunity to envision the evolution of
the unions through the stories of retirees
who had experienced the movement first
hand which brought our readings on the
subject to life.
Students in Mass Media, Popular
Culture and Fo/Jclore collectively decided
to invite the oral history narrators to
Evergreen for a complimentary brunch on
February 27 to thank them for sharing
their stories of struggles and triumphs.
by Kimberly Wilson ot the Marriott
organizing committee
The Hotel Employees and Restaurant
Employees Union (HERE) Local 8 has
decided to pull out of the scheduled
National Labor Relatioos Board (NLRB)
supervised cenification election for the
Marriou employees at the Deli and the
Greenery of The Evergreen State College.
HERE Local 8 feels that a 'Clear
majority of Marriott's employees must be
willing to take responsibility for
organizing their union;
this is the
essence of unionism - the collective
action of employees struggling for their
mutual interest. HERE Local 8 requires
a broader and much fuller level of
participation from Marriott employees.
Seventy pen:ent of Marriou's
employees signed HERE
Local 8 authorization cards for
representation, .and a number of
employees signed a petition requesting
that Marriou drop their NLRB appeal and
allow "student employees" to vote.
Employees also signed a leaflet exposing
students
infonnally inttoduced their
IUIITatOIS and gave them a chance to
educate everyone present with their
experiences.
Some told specific, humorous stories
from the past while others gave an
overview of their experiences and current
political involvement. Most retirees shared
their liberal/leftist views and spoke highly
of Evergreen for teaching students the
vast importance of unions then and now.
Dan Leahy of the Evergreen Labor
Center was also present at this event. He
gave this class a lecture in the fall on
this topic and was in part responsible for
obtaining the names of retirees for
students to contact.

This brunch was organized by an

Approximately 35 retired union
workers and leaders arrived in CAB 110

western Washington. After the brunch,

TESC, Japan to exchange students
News Release
The Evergreen State College invites
applications
for
year-long student
exchanges at two Japanese universities,
Miyazaki University and Kobe University
of Commerce. Evergreen has reciprocity
agreements with each of these universities
for exchanging two students annually.
Evergreen students selected for the
exchanges enroll under an individual
learning contract and pay tuition only at
Evergreen.
Students selected to study at
Miyazaki have the additional opponunity
to compete for the government-sponsored
Monbusho scholarships, which cover all
expenses, including air fare. Scholarship
recipients receive a stipend equivalent to
that of a beginning teacher in Japan.

While these scholarships are not
guaranteed, typically at least one is
awarded each year to an Evergreen
student Both students currently studying
at Miyazaki received these coveted
scholarships.
There is no similar scholarship at
Kobe, but the university provides a
housing subsidy to help offset the high
cost of living in Japan. Unlike Miyazaki,
Kobe has no student dormitories.
To qualify for these exchange
programs, students must have some
proficiency in Japanese. This is important
since most of the teaching at both
universities is in lecture format in the
Japanese language. This qualification is a
decisive factor in selecting candidates.
the corporation's dirty tactics.
But
management found the campaign's
weakness. The collective interest of all
employees was compromised when the
full-time, senior employees sided with
management
The implied threat of
losing benefits (i.e. the 401 K pension
plan, medical, dental, and life insurance)
if the union won was a strong argument
despite the fact that federal law clearly
states this is illegal. Many part-timers,
who have no benefits and are paid at
minimum wage, empathized with the
dilemma created by management to
intimidate the full-timers.
With
youthfulness on their side, a few
vacillated. We hope that the full-timers
will now empathize with the pan-timers
who need higher wages and some
benefits.
Despite the union's decision to pullout, it. must be noted that the ·campaign
made Marriott run for their money.
Marriou had one consultant from
Washington D.C. who stayed for three
weeks with the crew, working side-by-
side and pleading for a chance to allow
Marriott to improve itself.
Another
consultant came to make sure local
Marriott management was on-line wilh
their campaign. A third consultant from
Marriou's Seattle offICe visited weekly,
even donning a uniform and helping on
the line.
Lastly, a corporate lawyer based in
Denver, Colorado has pushed to make
sure that "student employees" don't have
a right to vote. In addition to sending
their high-priced professionals, Marriott
gave some employees wage increases and
made many promises to ·reform. Marriott
should give wage increases across-theboard for all, and the unions promises
that we will not flIe an unfair labor
practice if this happens. Marriott should
have given the money they paid their
consultants to employees for wages and
benefits in the first placel
The attempt at unionization made a
positive impact for all. Some employees
learned what it would take to organize
and be organizers.

learned that just the attempt to organize
brings strong reaction from the employer.
Hopefully, all employees learned that
whether they are working for Marriott or
not, working together as a group is more
powerful than working individually for
change. Now we would like tb see
Marriott clean up their act.
With the union's withdrawal, four
options scan be pursued by Marriott
employees at Evergreen:
1) Give Marriott a chance to change.
Demand higher wages and benefits for
all.
If Marriott fails to keep their
promises, employees can do one of the
foUowing:
2) Organize again. Direct action might
be the best and fastest approach to
gaining union recognition and getting a
collective bargaining agreement.
3) Nothing.
4) Quit

they decide. We thank the Organizing
Committee, and all the community

the responsibility of organizing with our
union, give us a call.

Wimmin submit new policy
Hello! We are the Wimmin's Safety
Group. The Wimmin's Safety Group
came IOgether 10 address the issues of
violence against wimmin both in the
world community and at The Evergreen
State Cotlege. Currently, we are focusing
on
occwrences
of
sexuallgender
harassmenl Despite the implementation of
a Sexual Harassment Policy in 1985,
sexual and gender harassment is still
prevalenl Attached, you will fmd a copy
of a proposed new SexuallGender
Harassment Policy. The proposal contains
the basics of the existing policy with
some changes.
These changes are
denoted by underlines.
The major
changes you will fmd are the recognition
of gender as well as sexual harassment,
a strong educational component, and
serious consequences for those who
harass.
We realize that
violence against
wimmin affects all wimmin. Therefore,
we are trying to build a coalition of
students, staff. and faculty wimmin in
order to institute a Sexual/Gender
Harassment Policy that meets all our
needs.
Instituting changes 10 the harassment
policy will be difficull Change is not
easy especially when behavior such as
sexuaVgender harassment has become
routine and institutionalized. We need
the help of all wimmin at Evergreen if
we are 10 build a community that values
wimmin rather than denigrate them.
We would 3ppreciate it if you would
read the proposed policy and let us know
how you feel about the changes.
Presently, we are also documenting
wirnmin's experiences of sexuaVgender
harassmenl If you have had\ experiences
where you have felt unco!Tlfortable or
harassed (harassment can be implicit or
explicit) either verbally or physically,
experienced
assaultlrape, (X' have
witnessed such actions please contact us.
The reporu can be written, taped or
given in person. All accounts can be
anonymous and confidentiality will be
strictly observed. We need these personal
stories 10 help people understand the
seriousness and prevalence of this type of
violence against wimmin.
If you have comments. questions,
stories or anything else you think might
help, please contact Kelly Wright of The
Women's Center x6162, Gail Witte,
Student Manager x5017, Micha of the
Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual People's
Resource Center x6544 or Mary Lou
O'Neil Cab 305. Written comments or
ac:counts of harassment can be delivered
10 The Women's Center or the LlGRC
which are located in L3200. Lastly, we
are having a forum to discuss the issues
and wimmin's experiences. Please join
us in the Edge (A Donn) March 1. 1990
at 5 pm.
Thank you for your time.

Another WlL'ihington by Chris Bader
One of the more curious religious
trends of recent decades is the emergence
of "UFO religious groups."
One local UFO group, based in
Lynnwood, Washington, is called "Parsec
Unlimited: After seeing a small ad in a
UFO magazine about the grouP. I wrote
away
for
its
newsletter.
"The
Interplanetary Messenger."
Parsec Unlimited professes it is
neither a "religion or cull" Well. as of
yet there are no "Parsec" Sunday services
and they do not beg for donations, but
Parsec does have much in common with
other "religious" groups.
The Interplanetary Messenger contains
"readings." or "channels," from the Ashtar
deadly meteorite with a "simple laser
shot," but they can only help u:; if we
"open ourselves" to them.
Well ... I don't really know what to
think of Parsec Unlimited. I respect their
right .to believe whatever they want 10
believe and their newsletters always make
for an exciting read.

For all of the students who missed
the candidates for Academic Dean at last
Wednesday's Student Union meeting, here
is a quick rundown of each candidate:
MASAO SUGIYAMA has taught
mathematics and computer science for
twenty-five years at both the college and,
high school level. He was Associate
Department Chairperson at Boise State
University.
At TESC he has been
involved in hiring commiuee DlF's and
is currently an active member of the
Faculty Agenda Committee.
He
participates in the community by working
with Outward Bound, the Special
Olympics, and canvassing for the United
Way.
LES WONG envisions the role of
a dean as that of a liaison between the
academic community and the outside
world, whose aim is to minimize the
contact necessary between these two
communities. Wong is also committed
to increasing the number of students of
color at TESC. He has also voiced an
interest in exploring alternatives to the
seminar. He believes this is necessary
to accommodate the different learning
methods of a culturally diverse student
body. Les has taught in the "Age of
Revolution" program and the "Health and
Risk. in Modem Society" program at
Evergreen.
In addition. he designed
"Multicultural Views of the Counseling
Process" for third and fourth year
students.
PRIS BOWERMAN is director of
the MPA program at Evergreen. She has
served on several DlFs and has been
active in various projects on campus. She
is supportive of governance efforts on
campus, although she would like to see
more constructive work done in area of
dispute resolution. Her committnenl to
multiculturalism is strong.
She is
interested in reviewing the curriculum and
revising programs such as "Great Books".
Strategic Plan:
MulticulturaHsm
problem has been defmed in tenns of
"presence" - the number of students of
color on campus - and how to increase
il Strategies have been divided into two
areas, recruittnent and retention. The
question is which strategy should be
Evergreen's focal point, or if it should be
some combination of both recruittnent
and retention strategies?
These question will come before the
campus either this spring or next fall in
order 10 incorporate the suggestions of
the community in the fmal revision of
the Strategic Plan.
If you have any
question, suggestions, or criticisms please
drop them off at the S.C.C., CAB 206.
x6785.
a solution to the CAB controversy which
was accepted by all persons involved in
negotiations. The proposal is as follows:
The CAB will remain open daily
from 6:00 am to 2:00 am. An additional
CAB Night Manager position will be
created for a 10:00 pm to 2:00 am shift
This position may be filled between the
administration and the S&A. Following
the student office relocation this solution
may be re-evaluated.
This proposal will be presented at the
next Student Union meeting, March 28.
Please refer any questions to Lyn Wicks
at CAB 206, x6785.
An
increased committnent to
multicultural diversity is one of the goals
of the current effort to revise the
Strategic Plan.
One of the chief
stumbling blocks in the discussions of the
planning council has been the inability to

We live in a world of assumptions

that everyone will keep this agreement.
The assumptions we make are
incredible.
True story: Last week I was talking
to a friend of mine at the Asian Tribute
and a person walked by in a colorful
costume. My friend sees the person and
informs me that they are garbed in
traditional Palestinian war dress. My
friend tells me he is offended and
questions why the person is dressed this
way. He tells me that if there were any
Jews around that they would be deeply
offended. "I'm Jewish," I informed my
friend, "and I didn't know what the
costume symbolized."
I went on to point out that the
person wearing the costume may not
have known about the symbolic nature
of the clothing.
My friend had made a number of
assumptions very quickly. Do you ever
make assumptions that are incorrect? I
remember an incorrect assumption I made

Referendulll powerful doculllent
by Scot Wheat
During the flCSt week of Spring
quarter, students will have an opportunity
to voice their opposition to U.S. policies
towards EI Salvador by passing a
referendum which demands a halt to the
United States funding of a government
long known for its blatant disregard for
human rights.
The referendum also expresses
solidarity with our sister college in San
Salvador (the University of EI Salvador)
which has been subjected to bombings,
military occupation, closures, and the
torture and assassination of students and
faculty.
About a month ago, I attended a
student governance meeting which
addressed the issue of whether to go
forward with a student initiated
referendum on El Salvador. During the
meeting a student asked if student
govemance was an appropriate sphere to
address foreign policy issues. I feel that
this question is valid and will, no doubt,
be raised by many other students in the
weeks ahead.
To begin with, there is a national
movement in this country to develop
institutional opposition to U.S. poliCies
towards EI Salvador. This movement is
highly innovative and promises to force
an otherwise unresponsive federal
Page 8 Cooper Point Journal March 8, 1990
government to fmally act on the wishes
of the public.
For instance, members of the
International
Longshoreman's
and
Warehousemen's Union recently vowed
not to unload Salvadoran products due to
the manner in which the U.S. backed
ARENA government treats workers. In
essence, the International Longshoreman's
Union has announced the beginning of a
protest that will persist as long as the
U.S. government continues to ignore the
pleas for justice that echo throughout EI
Salvador and the United States.
Imagine what would happen if other
unions and institutions across the country
refused to use and handle Salvadoran
goods pending an end to the U.S. funding
of genocide in El Salvador...
The referendum on El Salvador, if
passed, would enable the students of The
Evergreen State College to participate in
this innovative movement which has the
potential make the U.S. government
respond to the expressed desires of the
people (rather than the expressed desires
of U.S. multinationals).
Moreover, the referendum, if passed,
would prove to the students of the
University of EI Salvador that we are
serious in our pledge of sisterhood. A
pledge of sisterhood between two
universities is more than a symbolic
gesture. It is a committnent to the
principle that an academic community
transcends national borders.
Passing this referendum would
demonstrate that the students of
Evergreen are committed to the id~ of
academic freedom. As at Evergreen, the
students of the University of El Salvador
are attempting to gain an understanding
of the unjust society in which they live.
However, at the University of El
Salvador, students are imprisoned,
tortured, raped, and assassinated as a
consequence of their search for the truth.
In
passing
this
referet:ldum,
Evergreen students could express the fact
that they do not tolerate bombings,
military occupation, and the assassination
of faculty and students in El Salvador
anymore than they would tolerate such
activities on their own campus.
The student referendum on El
Salvador, if passed, would be a powerful
document leading to further steps taken
by the college in order to halt the
injustices in EI Salvador committed in
our name with our tax dollars.
. In
addition,
faculty,
staff,
administration, the Board of Trustees, the
state Legislature, and Congresspeople in
Washington D.C. could become aware of
the fact that Evergreen students do more
than merely learn about the world--we

Recently
have heard people
claiming that members of traditionally
oppressed groups cannot be racists. I
disagree with this claim, because I do not
believe some humans are capable of
feelings others are not.
An example: Once an African
American that I had never met punched
me and then called me a "stupid white
boy." What was at least part of his
motivation for assaulting me without
cause? Racism.
I will admit the disruption of my life
from such an assault is minor when
compared to the racism non-whites
experience daily from the media, the
government, education, etc. But treating
me differently based on the color of my
skin is racism, pure and simple, despite
the difference in scale.

to thank Hugh Moag and all those
involved in bringing Mr. Wallace Terry
to TESC. Mr. Terry's presentation was
superb, I really didn't know quite what to
expect. But I was delighted with what I
heard and saw.
That is, until the end of the
presentation, when during the question
and answer portion of the lecture a young
woman, who mayor may not have been
born when Vir.tnam was going on, got up
and used Vietnam and Mr. Terry's
presentation to ask some B.S. political
questions about Central and South
America, which really had no place there.
pace
And then there was the person who
claimed to be part of the extreme left
during the war and took offense at one
of the statements Mr. Terry made during
his lecture. As if he was old enough to
go and was dodging back then.
Personally all I want to say to him
is, if you weren't there, shut the HELL
up! I know these two people pissed off
a lot of the Vietnam veterans there and
an active duty Army Sergeant also. I
know this because they told me. Mr.
Terry was a guest and to use his lecture
as a political soapbox was rude to the

lurrniversary protest
March 24, 1990 marks the tenth
anniversary of the assassination of
Archbishop Oscar Romero by the E1
Salvadoran
military/death
squads.
Violence in that country has not abated
since his death. The death squads and
other groups that terrorize EI Salvador
have been connected with both the
current ruling party (ARENA) and the EI
Salvadoran military.
United States foreign policy supports
both of these institutions with financial
aid and political legitimacy. Even after
the murder of thousands of persons and
the highly publicized assassination of six
Jesuit priests, the United States Congress
and the President have refused to restrict
aid to EI Salvador. To commemorate
Romero's death and protest current U.S.

There will be carpools available to
those interested in attending this most

To overcome racism white Americans
need to dedicate more resources to the
problem of racism, but most of all we
need to overcome our paralYtic "white
gUilt" and begin to talk about it
Traditionally oppressed people also
bear some responsibility for bringing
about a solution. White people could
devote all their time and resources to the
elimination of racism and nothing would
come of it if oppressed individuals
declared themselves victims too hurt too
do anything until . their oppressors
changed.
Finding a solution will require
working together, because separation will
only further aggravate the problem.
Evergreen is Segregated
Evergreen, being the basically
segregated school it is, unfortunately is
not the ideal environment for fmding
solutions to race issues. In order to learn
to live with different ethnic groups, there
needs to be different ethnic groups to live
with.
We need to stop making empty
claims about
"multi-culturalism" and
begin to examine why only 7.4% of our
student body are non-white, many of
whom are E.F. students from wealthy
backgrounds.
White Guilt Fosters Racism
At first I was not going to write this
editorial because of "white guilt." [
thought "what if I am wrong, and what if
I offend someone?" and "I am not
qualified to talk about racism because [
am white."
Not writing about an issue I feel
strongly about because it concerns race
and I am "scared" of offending a
minority is racist. Only by honestly
disclosing my beliefs can I hope to
overcome my paralytic white gUilt which
limits my ability to think beyond the
racist framework we all live in.
If you disagree with anything I have
said, please write a letter.

A remembrance
Moral relativism
I found Chris Chandler's imagined
Socratic/religious dialogue enjoyable
reading. It's been (well) done before,
though, in a fascinating series of books
by Peter Kreeft, professor of philosophy
at Boston College. In Socrates Meets
l~eslLl', The Unaborted Socrates, and The
lDest Things in Life, Kreeft' s Socrates is
out searching for Truth in contemporary
society with the sharp knife of logic, and
ends up dissecting many religious and
secular preconceptions to shreds. Good
reading.
Chris, your Jesus is in trouble when
he's put in a position of complete moral
relativism with a statement like "nothing
is beyond being good in God's creation."
It's diffIcult to apply this to incest,
apartheid and rape. Or murder.

Although it would be imprudent to
make long-term predictions, these changes
may well be irreversible, and the
transformations--in terms of law and
political culture--which the country has
undergone in recent months may have set
it on course to consolidate those practices
of coexistence which are the mark of a

The FSLN bent over backward to
accommodate the "opposition," some of
which are loyal Nicaraguans with
legitimate complaints against some
governmental policies. Much of the UNO

many with the blood of innoeent
Nicaraguans on their hands.
The pay for the UNO and Contra
leadership has been quite lucrative. The
United States has officially spent over
$300 million to militarily overthrow the
FSLN, including after the ceniflllbly
clean 1984 elections--this is in addition
to the untold millions which were
illegally generated and diverted to
Nicaragua during the Iran-Contra scandal.
In the past year, the United States has
spent, according to various reports, over
$20 million to fund the electoral
opposition. This translates to about $15

Michael Parenti, noted
scientist, wrote an article about the 1984
elections entitled, "Is Nicaragua More

Salvador (U.E.S.) in San Salvador, which
has been a target of repression by the
Salvadoran military and death squads.
The U .E.S. was occupied and shut down
by the armed forces from 1980-1984 and
has been invaded numerous times. During
the November 1989 FMLN offensive, the
Salvadoran military bombed and closed
the university. The school has since
remained forcibly closed and government
repression against students has increased
The students of The Evergreen State
College:
1. Condemn human rights abuses
committec1 by the Salvadoran military and
death squads connected to the ARENA
government, including the recent murder
of
the
Jesuit
priests
and
the
imprisonment, torture, and assassination
of students;
2. Suppon real negotIatIons to end the

U.S. government funding to the
Nicaraguan opposition was ftmneled
through various quasi-non-governmental
organizations whose primary purpose is
to
subvert democracy
and
selfdetermination in the Western Hemisphere,
despite the Orwellian use of the term
"deJIiocracy" in many of their titles.
Examples of such organizations are: The
National Endowment for Democracy
(NED), Center for Democracy (CED),
Freedom House, Puebla Institute, Simon
Bolivar
Fund,
World
Freedom
Foundation, etc. Self-admitted liars such
as Elliot Abrams are tightly connected to
such groups.

destroy "soft targets" (i.e., civilians),
destroy the economy and ignore
inteITJational opinion and law. Just as AI
Capone was effective in controlling
sections of Chicago, Bush is now
effective in controlling sections of Central
America.
Reagan publicly stated that his goal
was to make Nicaragua cry "Uncle." In
that he succeeded. Serious analysts all
attribute the cause of the UNO victory to
the devastation of the war and the
economy--which are directly attributed to
the U.S. government. For the next six
years and especially for the immediate
future, those of us who are concerned
about peace and justice issues in the

TIlE MOORE THEATRE
MARCH I, 1990
After almost 11 years of amorphous
existence The The is on the heels of their
fll'St world tour and as the band sat in
the basement of the Moore for their preshow press conference one thing was
apparent these guys were tired. Matt
Johnson, the lead singer and creative
nucleus of the band, seemed relieved that
"the end was in sight" but was still
strong in his convictions.
Since starting The The, Johnson has
worked with scores of musicians in
creating a style of music that rivals his
intensity as a musician (an intensity that
left him broke and almost dead in
completing his last album, In[ecteff). In
assembling a band to tour behind Mind
Bomb, their latest album, Johnson says
he chose "kindred spirits." Guitarist
Johnny Marr refutes that they're a supergroup of displaced musicians, adding,
"When we fll'St came together the energy
involved was Jretty startling."
Considering the band (as it exists
now) has only played together for a little
over a year, their performance sounded
like that of a well-seasoned group.
Opening with "Sweet Bird of Truth," they
displayed a tightness that reflects Matt
Johnson's passion for his music and

lyrics. His lyrics address the lOpics of
religion, truth, love and the conlflCts that
rise from them.
Performing "Armageddon Days Are
Here (Again)" he sings "The world is on
its elbows and kneesl It's forgotten the
message and worships the creeds,"
While the ideas may not be new and
many pop bands have tackled them
before, in talking with Johnson you get
the feeling that he really means it
While The The did rely on some
good electronics for their show, the music
still stood well on it's own. Whether it
was their keyboardist' s manic 'piano'
solo on "Uncenain Smile: Marr's slip
streamed guitar work, or Johnson's
effected vocals, everything came off well
thought out and well played. While to
some it may have appeared contrived and
passionless, it is out of ignorance that
these cries come.
Unfortunately, by the time of their
encore version of "Gravitate To Me" they
had only played for an hour and 20
minutes (with no opening band) which
only served as fuel for any critic's fife,
but rarely does a pop group sound better
live than on record, especially a group as
seemingly well produced as The The, and
this is probably the paradox of their
show. For while Matt Johnson appears to
work hard to put 011 a show that this
crowd really got into, the energy and
time involved never get seen. His battle
for content may seem trite now, but 1
think it will payoff in the long run.
While their tour promotion has them
taking on the world, I would say that
The The took Seattle by a TKO in the
6th round. Hopefully the rematch will
last longer.

Taproot preaches with plays
by Kim McKain
The Evergreen Gym had never seen
a throng of Christians like this one. Last
Saturday night, musician Steve Camp,
and Taproot Theatre Company lit the
campus gym with a holy-rollin' fire!
Approximately 1200 people, mostly
from the community, gathered in the
gym, filling the flooc and much of the
bleachelS. The night commenced with a
short &aIk by Pastor Chuck Lind from
downtown's Calvary Fellowship Church
on the ties between the Bible and modem
scientific discoveries. He spoke of the
strong force and the weak force which
bonds elecb'ons and protons together, the
weak fcree being the pull of the elecb'on
away from the proton, and the strong
force being that which keeps the elecb'on
revolving around the nucleus.
Lind
referred to the passage where Jesus said
he was all, and was in all, and in him all
things are held together.
He then
introduced Taproot Theatre, performing a
series of sketches called "Red Letter
Days."
Taproot began with a talkshow on
what you can or can't sayan television
and Christianity. A fellow was asked to
share with his television audience the
value of Christmas.
"An angel appeared before the virgin
Mary and said .. ." "No wait, you can't say
angel, it is too vague and controversial a
term, and you wouldn't want to confuse
those who don't know what an angel is."
"A person came and said to the
virgin Mary and said .." "Now we can't
say virgin, can we, too many implications
"
"So this person came and said to this
girL." "We aren't saying much of value
now, are we.
Tell your audience
something that will make them happy."
"Merry Chris-"
"No, no, no."
"Happy Holidays!"
"You see, on
television, a medium if pictures, you may
look real good, but you won't be able to
say anything!"
Taproot performed sketches on the
story of Cain and Abel, on a gentleman's
conquest to civilize an ignorant and
heathen culture, and one skit showing
two men taking communion. One man
was an ex-drug addict that had committed
his life to Christ and was leading the
church youth group, and he thanked God
for all he had been blessed with. The
other was a business man, who was
gravely sore at how the church fmances
had been handled, but asked for
forgiveness for his selfish mind when he
took communion.
Another sketch involved three people
from three different churches discussing
their modes of worship. One said, "After
our services, we gather in the fellowship
hall for tea and conversation." Another
person said, "At my church, we like to
come together with a hearty potluck."
And the third whined, "At my church, we
have red punch in styrofoam cups after
everything! "
"My church believes in the beauty
and sanctification of ritual." "My church
believes in the fundamental truth and law
of the Bible."
"Yea, my church is
prejudiced too."
The company closed with a
reenactment of the admission of the first
Christian into paradi~. This man was a
robber, murderer, and fraud who had
been hanging on the cross next to Jesus.
The gate guardians were befuddled that
this man was to enter paradise, but the
angel Gabriel straightened them out,
telling them that the robber's faith in
Jesus was his passport to paradise, and
thaL's all he needed.
The robber
exclaimed that it was all "flippin'
marvelous!"
Next came Steve Camp, who is an
internationally known Christian musician
and the founder of ACCT, Aids Crisis
and Christians Today.
He opened,
playing strong chords and melodies on a
grand piano, with a song about the many
sides of Christ, and them his powerful
title song "Justice." Camp professed the
national need for justice, a justice in the
government, in the media, and in our
daily relations with people.
Steve Camp sang with a vibrant
strength and energy that soon grabbed
hold of everyone. When Steve got up to
sing, the whole audience rose and
clapped with him. "We're going to be
here until 6, just to let you know, O.K.I"
One of his most exciting songs of the
evening was about "Playing Marbles with
Diamonds," meaning that Christians often
underestimate the value of salvation and
play games.
In between songs, most of which
were from his latest album, "Justice," he
talked about current Christian issues, such
as how the church of this decade, all
denominations, will have to wake up an
reform to meet the calI of hClp from
people in need of food, shelter, and love.
He spent a good period talking about
the AIDS crisis in America. He said he
used to be afraid to &aIk and sing to
people with AIDS, because many were
homosexuals and drug-users. But then
he realized how self-righteous he was
being, and since then has sought to bring
the love of Christ to AIDS patients. He
met a guy in a hospital. "Hey, how are
you?" he extended his hand. The AIDS
patient asked, "Aren't you afraid?" "No.
Aren't you afraid? I have a cold." "No,"
the patient replied. "Good, so now that
we're past our diseases, my name is
Steve."
Steve told about a time when he
brought a group of his friends who had
AIDS to a church to meet the pastors.
When the pastors rejected his frielllls,
Steve asked his friends with AIDS tell
the pastors about the gospel of Jesus
ChrisL This. church has since opened its
d<XX'S to people with AIDS.
Steve Camp returned to is piano to
sing a song about the AIDS Crisis and
what Christians today are doing about it.
He sang, "Oon't tell them Jesus loves
them, until you're ready to love them
too." So often we Christians forget that
the love of Christ we tell people about
has to come through us as well. We
can't just &aIk about iL We must give it.
Steve Camp hit home with this song.
The evening ended with a hymn and
a prayer, and the audience slowly flltered
ouL When I walked back to the dorms, I
couldn't help being overwhelmed that this
concert had taken place on the Evergreen
Campus.
