of paper from discarded waste paper lI ses half the e nergy. half the

saves 17 pul p trees. reduces so lid waste goi ng to those few landfil ls
that have not bee n filled yet and creates five mo re jobs than produc ing a to n of paper from virg in wood pu lp. If more people choose
recycled paper in stead of virgi n paper, it would be a sig nificant step
(()ward improv ing enviro nmental q uality.
Most people be lieve they have recycled when they turn their
~ource-seperated ma teri als over to the recycler. The proce:-.:-. in not

Dogs kill 35 chickens
by Barrett WOke
Last Thursday evening, February 1st, two estranged dogs
broke into the Organic Farm chicken yard. Here they chased
the hysterical flock of 40 hens and one rooster into the
coop, where all but 10 hens and the rooster were slaughtered
by the dogs. Five of these remaining hens were 80 mangled
that they had to be killed also.
According to Security, the dogs were described as a
Siberian husky-type dog and a light-colored Irish setter-type
dog, both of which have been seen often , on campus. The
latter was seen on Red Square canying one of Ihe hens in
its mouth. Both of these dogs apparently have owners. One
of these dogs has already been piclced up, but the other has
not been seen recently, It is probable that the owners will
aslced to pay restitution.
The gate located by the path was found _to be slightly
ajar, indicating that either the dogs, in t4eir aggravation,
somehow unlatched the gate, or someone hid not closed it
properly. The identification of the person who observed the
attacle hu not been disclosed, but there seems to be little
dispute .over which dogs were involved.
The next day, .Farm Manager Janet Van Sickle, "Fro-Ag"
student Paul Siemer, and others, upon reviewing the gruesome
scene, .beheaded Ihe five mortally injured chicleens and con,idered their options. There wu ta1lc about telling the chicle-
em for meat, but they hadn't been bled properly, and obviously weren't sleinned or gutted immediately so it was too
late for this option. All a last option, VanSickle called Wolf
Haven to see if they could use the meat, but they refused,
At last it was decided to simply bury them in the southwest
comer of the farm.
This latest addition to the Organic Farm's trials and
lribulations adds to the fire of the recently reignited domestic
dog debate. Many people are annoyed with the free-roaming
dogl, which have been seen chasing deer, chewing up waterfowl nes." , and disrupting other wildlife. In addition, some
people are reporting disturbances around campus when the
usually beui&n dogs band together and get restless.
But this is not to say that everyone hates the dogs .
"I love the furry four-legged creatures. It's nice to walk
around campus and have a broad head to pet," said Van
Sickle. "But the dogs have an innate tenacity when Ihey get
together in a gang. People absolutely should not allow their
dogl to roan free (on campus)." She made clear her position
of personal responsibility, that if people bring their dogs to
campus they should be tied up. She also pointed out that if
dog I got into the garden, the crops could be severely
damaged.

"The main thing is a grievance

Responding to a "feeling of
discontent," Wilson said, she began
tallcing about forming a union on campus
last summer.
In a lener published in the CPJ and
the Evergreen Free Press in December, a
group of Marriott employees outlined
their reasons for wanting a union: "Do
you realize that most of the Marrion
employees who serve food on this
campus are paid $3.85 an hour? Most of
us have no guaranteed hours, no benefits,
and no say over our working conditions.
Worst of all our promotions and raises
are decided upon arbitrarily."
Denis Snyder, Director of the
bookstore and food services. said Monday
that he has been working with food
services to get student's wages "in step
with the rest of the college." Most
student positions on campus pay $4.25 or
$4 .50 an hour.

"On the surface, that's probably true,"
Tom Freeman, a student and Marriott
employee said Monday. Freeman sees
more to it, however. "It's curious to me
that when the quarter started up again she
was told she was off the payroll, and
someone like me who hasn't been there
as long has got hours:
Wilson believes she has been
removed from the payroll because of her
unionization efforts. "Me being fired was
pretty predictable. It's a common
strategy."
"I don't have any seething hostility
toward management at all." she added. "I
want to go back to work."

Marriott on Jan. 14, the National Labor

students have the right to vote and decide
whether they will form a union.
The election will probably lake place
within two weeks, Wilson said.
If the workers vote to unionize,

Marriott. "At this point. we can't really
talk about specifically what we want,"
Wilson said, "Gains for all, that's our

The
MilIerlHulI Partnership, which designed
the structure, was rightfully proud to
accept the 1989 American lnstilUte of
Architects Merit Award.
Philip Chriscofidef, an employee with
the finn, stated that the designing process
and conceptual studies entailed a twelve
month effort, as did the construction
process conducted by Berschauer/Phillips,
the genetal contractors for the project.
MilIerlHulI "tried to draw upon
traditional, typical and informal concepts,"
which would contrast with the somewhat
reserved appearance of the existing
campus.
Chriscofidef explained that the
"warehouse building" style with "high
ceilings" was a plus. This new design
was among more than 140 submitted for
review by a panel of both American and
Canadian awarding jurors. and The Art
Annex emerged victoriously as one of
thirteen chosen. The Miller/Hull design
was one of seven to win a Merit Award.
Chriscofidef and the Seattle-based
architeclillal firm of Miller/H u1l are

Growth options
The current growth options under
consideration by the Planning Council
include: the current organization; cluster
colleges, either clones or organized by
specialty area; and Weekend/Evening
College, with the options of patterning it
after daytime Evergreen, using a
traditional "course" structure, or both. It
is possible- that the Weeltend/Evening
College and the three options pertaining
to it are the only realistic options.
The focus on the multiculturalism
issue centered on the need to attract a
more divrrse population on campus. the
three alternatives discussed by the council
so far are: a commitment to specialized
recruiting (perhaps more admissions
staff), fine tuning the curriculum with an
increased focus on multiculturalisim, and
an introduction of new programs focused
to meet a more varied group of students.
An increased commitment to support
within the community on an social and
academic level is a necessary component
in all three alternatives. None of the
alternatives are mulUally exclusive and it
is possible that elements of all three may
be used.
A
copy

the
newest
multiculturalism memo will be in the

Today I will tackle, or perhaps
fumble, BIG philosophical questions. It
has already been clearly proven that the
meaning of Life, the Universe and
Everything is fOrty-two. Armed with this
astonishing information the normal person
might inquire as to the determining
factors of life and death. Studies indicate
that life is a continuing series of
problems.
Researchers at some
prestigious university have proven
conclusively that if you didn't have any
problems you would be dead. If you are
over forty you have an additional method
to determine life or death. Upon waking,
you can quickly take an inventory of
body parts. If nothing hurts then you are
dead.
Researchers, in an effcn to
understand what life is, have gone as far
as to put dying patients on large scales.
When the person passes from life to
death no weight is lost Let's say you
weigh·in at 7 pounds. By the time you
are fifteen you weigh 130 pounds. When
you are thirty you make the mistake of
weighing 240 pounds. You correct the
error of your ways and drop back to 170
pounds. What is that seventy pounds you
lost? Is it you? You have lost seventy
pounds but that is ten times what you
weighed in at! If no weight is lost when
the human passes from life to death then
what is life?
Researchers, in an
effort to understand
what life is, have
gone as far as to put
dying patients on
large scales.
Scientists and others like to
categorize objects as either animate or
inanimate. Inanimate refers to everything
else like minerals, gases and Rambo
films. The problem with these terms is
clear when we consider a few examples.
Is a tusk on an elephant animate or
inanimate? Is a wooden baseball bat
animate or inanimate? Does it depend
whether the elephant and tree are alive
or dead? Let's move one step further.
Close to fifty years ago the first nuclear
devices were tested. The nuclear age
began. Nuclear physicists discovered that
eveO'lhing could be broken down into
atomic particles. That means everything
from a Itiln-dried wooden baseball bat to
"living" human tissue. If this is true then
why do we still use the terms animate
and inanimate to separate "living" from
"non-living" things? I think these are
fascinating questions to ponder. I also
rmd that coosidering these issues gives
me an unusual perspective in a world
focused on profit, efficiency and success.
I have to thank Buckminister FuUer,
the father of geodesics, as I have adopted
many of his viewpoints. Bucky was the
commencement speaker at my. high
school graduation. He was in his midseventies when I met him and he has had
a profound impact on my life. If I can
contribute one one-thousandth of the
vision that he gave the world, I will
consider my life having been worthwhile.

A parocly_. by Dan Snufrm and Skippy
the Wonder Dog
Another faculty member has come
forward with new accusations that
Evergreen President loe Olander falsified
information on his resume, bringing new
controversy to a two-month ordeal.
According to an article printed in the
Olympian. Dr. Herb "Geraldo ff Riviera
made his allegations during a Faculty
Agenda and Coffee Committee meeting
on lanuary 30, insisting that the Bored
of Trustees rue Olander and make him
wear zany ties.
Accusations included:
-living under a false name. Dr. Riviera
claims that the President's true last name
is not Olander but Quayle.
-Removing mattress and furniture tags.
-Throwing away envelopes with 25-cent
American flag stamps on them.
-Using fake ID to buy the politically
incorrect Coors beer.
-Drinking the politically incorrect Coors
beer.
-Claiming to have a Bachelor's Degree in
Arts when in fact he was only a
bachelor.
-Being a communist
The faculty member went on to
demand a disinterested third party
investigation, suggesting that former
members of the Reagan Administration be
used to senle the dispute.
Olander responded to the accusations
by holding a press conference lanuary 32.
He fiercely denied any misrepresentation
on his part
ffOlander is my dad's last name and
I do not drink a politically incorrect
beer!" the President yelled. "Besides, it
tastes like parrot piss. ff
The Bored of Trustees defended
Olander's record in a wrinen statement
"Joe Olander. does a good job, smells
like a man and is one of the best dressed
coUege presidents in the nation. He's
cool, he's cool."
Dr. Riviera has threatened to go to
court to have Olander removed from is
position, and vowed to expose him in AI
Capone's vaults on prime-time television.

"Barry had it coming
by CarOl HaU
The sad story of Marion Barry's
plunging political career reached what
many predict to be · the rmal chapter
recently when the District of Columbia
mayor was caught smoking crack with a
girlfriend in an FBI sting operation.
The tragedy of a talented politician's
career blown up in the illegal smoke of
a powerful addiction waS lost on few
African-American voters or elected
officials natiOllwide. But equally tragic
was the opinion of many African
Americans that Barry was the victim of
a white coospiracy concocted to restore
D.C. to white rule. ffVictiml Victiml" a
crowd of supporters shouted as Barry
arrived at U.S. District Court for his
arraignment on drug charges.
In reality, Barry was a victim of no
one but himself. Widespread suspicions
of Barry's womanizing and drug habits
have abounded for several years supported by allegations from a longtime
friend who said he sOld crack to the
mayor - and were making it increasingly
harder for D.C. cops and other officials
to fight the city's drug epidemic.
By late 1989 Barry must have.
realized he was under an FBI microscope,
but still he remained arrogant and
overconfident, foolishly assuming that he
could use the powers of high office to
keep from getting caught in his bad
habits.
Just like Gary Hart, who spoiled his
presidential campaign when he dared
reporters to follow him around and then
led them to a weekend with Donna Rice,
Page 6 Cooper Point Journal February 8, 1990
Barry should have known that he· was
being closely scrutinized by voters,
reporters and law enforcement officials.
Instead of being more careful with his
recreatiooal activities, cleaning up his act,
seeking help for his apparent addiction,
Barry confidently continued his usual
activities.
I don't feel sorry for Marion Barry,
because I think he is one of the many
politicians, ministers, and appointed
officials in this countty who believe their
power places them above the laws and
ethical standards they are sworn to
uphold.
They parade themselves in
public as role models for young people,
but behind closed doors they live their
personal lives very differently from their
public images. These fools come in all
colors, and
they
deserve
equal
opportunity for exposure of their real
selves to the public, who they were
called to serve.
Some people say that drug use is a
ffvictimless crime." But nothing could be
further from the truth. While boldly
pursuing his crack habit, did Barry once
think about the little child,ren who looked
up to him and listened when he visited
their schools and neighborhoods to tell
them drugs were bad? Did Barry care
about what would happen to his image
and the images of other black elected
officials if he were caught? Did Barry
consider how his drug use was hurting
the voters whose faith gave him his
power? And what about his family?
Certainly, the drug habit was bad
enough. But Barry's womanizing, while
not illegal, is a political no-no in this day
of women's increasing economic and
political influence. As a woman, when
faced with a politician who was caught
cheating on his wife, I automatically
think of how I would feel if I were his
wife, and I rmd it difficult to vote for
him. And I think. there are many women
out there who feel the same. If a man
cannot be trusted to uphold the vows he
took with his wife before a minister or
magistrate, then how can he be trusted to
uphold his vows to serve and protect
public interests? This viewpoint luis not
been well reported by America's maledominated media, but I believe it was a
factor in Gary Hart's political downfall,
and could apply to Barry as well.
Today's public officials had better
stay clean if they want to survive,
because they are being measured by
tougher ethical standards than ever
before. The drug problem is disturbing
to Americans of all colors, and the public
is not willing to accept the notion that
politicians shouldn't be exempt from
doing illegal drugs. And a large portion
of the female public is not willing to
trust politicians caught sneaking around
on their wives.
Barry messed up, got caught, and
must now pay his dues.
The only
conspiracy going on was Barry's own
attempt to ruin his life, career, family,
and perhaps even the city of D.C. in his
lust for drugs.

Coke boycott lacks. support
to boycon Coca-Cola because of the
stupidity of their commercials and the
lack of nutritional content I'm beginning
to believe (and none too soon from the
point of view of my more cynical
friends) that The Evergreen State College
is . a feeding ground for indisaiminate
social and political activism that fights in
limited,
the "War on Drugs ff style of
non-constructive perspectives.
Activism is no substitute for
intelligence. In the future I ask that all
advertising activist groups observe the
following guidelines:
1) Let the facts stand up for themselves.
Don't digest the information for us. Do
not flavor the facts with propaganda or
slogans if you expect your position to be
taken seriously.
2) Fmd more meaningful activities to
pursue. W ASHpirg succeeds at doing so.
3)
Do not take up sides without
presenting the best argument for the
opposition. The best support of one's
own argument is a good response to the
ffopponent's" final argument.
4) Avoid using irony out of context. Its
only purpose is to entertain and
manipulate;
neither of which is
appropriate in this case.
I hope that I express the views of
others besides myself.

I feel stupid about having signed the
petition to have Coca-Cola machines
removed from campus.
Why, then, did I do it? Because I
succumbed to the attraction of signing a
petition that threatens to confront easilyidentifl8ble injustice.
Why should I feel stupid, then?
Well, . because I didn't stop to give it
adequately serious thought
Before I
signed the petition it would have been
good to ask the pelSOIl who was sitting
behind the table, ffWhy hasn't Coca-Cola
stopped selling its products to South
Africa?ff
But why should I bother when its
obvious that Coca-Cola is doing
something wrong by allowing its product
to (very) indirectly suppon the South
African government's value system?
Because it is not obvious.
I,
personally, find such noninformative,
manipulative slogans as "Coke sweetens
apartheidff an insult to my intelligence
and sense of humor. This kind of
mentality reminds me of television
commercials that make unjustifiable and
meaningless associations between the
product and other ffdesirable" aspects of
life. Where is the othez side of the
story? How have economic sanctions
hurt those who have been oppressed by
the South African government?
I would think that it would be better

it made me feel upset. angry and a little

great. For, regardless of ethnicity, we
are all victims of racism.
However,
white people in groups don't have the
greatest history in discussing the subject.
Groups like the Ku-Klux-Klan. and the
Nco-Nazis are examples. At Evergreen
there are many resoun:es for EuropeanAmericans to learn about people of color

everyone by answering hooestly. When
asked what methods of teaching he'd use,
he replied, "...find out where the students
are; who they are. ff (In other words, he
couldn't say until he actually began to
know the class.) Honesty, right there.
When asked why he wanted to work at
Evergreen (or perhaps when told that
most faculty never leave), he replied:
"Isn't life a spiral? Carried from place
to place?" He said he "goes with the
spirit" He called himself a storyteller,
and didn't consider himself "smart
enough to be a pure intellectual." The
way I hear the story, he blew the board
away-- "Wow! Unbelievable!" He didn't
get hired. I came here for teachers like
him and I hear that the college is turning
them away.
Walking back, I pass people by

talking (so I shouldn't hear?) and the

of it. It has been our judgement that
these right-wing reactionary times
desperately need a counterweight, before
all is lost.
Our goals must be: 1. Liberate all
local television and radio facilities.
Communication is vital. 2. Seize all
local graphic design businesses, for
production of revolutionary propaganda.
3. Take a twenty minute break: at the
nearest espresso bar. Relax, unwind. 4.
Storm the state capital building. This is
more of a symbolic gesture than anything
else. 5. Fortify all compounds. Yoli can
bet your booty that the U.S. army will

gesture.

Navy planes
go haywire
Another Washington by Chris Bader
Surely you have heard of the
Bermuda Triangle, the infamous area off
the coast of Horida where countless
people have died or disappeared.
Well, Whidbey Island Naval Air
Station is in trouble. Several A-6
bombers are stored at the small island
near Seattle. Since 1980, over 20 pilots
and crew members have died flying
around the base, causing Congress to
investigate the planes and Whidbey's
flight training program.
Navy officials are looking into
several possibilities as to what could have
caused so many fatalities. One such
possibility is that the island is a son of
"Bermuda Triangle."
In the most recent Whidbey Island
tragedy, (May 1988), two A-6 bombers
were 01\ the way to a target complex in
north-central
Oregon.
Although
it
appeared that "both planes were flying
normally ... they ran into a mountainside."
It seems that for the past several
years, county residents have reported that
some "unknown electronic interference"
has caused their car and trailer lights to
"go on and off by themselves, and
generators to fail." Perhaps this strange
interference is causing Navy planes to go
haywire.
Lewis County Under-Sheriff Bob
Berg says that the Whidbey Island area
"abounds with elements that could... make
cenain types of compasses to fail," such
as mineral deposits under Mount Adams
or Mount St. Helens.
If Whidbey Island turns out to be
another "Bermuda Triangle," it would
only add to the list of strange happenings
on the island. In 1958, several people
viewed a 12 foot long sea-serpent swim
off the coast. Just a few years later, in
1963, an island resident watched a UFO
with three occupants inside circle her
house, grow in size, and disappear.
Meanwhile, members of the Skagit
Indian Band have a legend that says that
the band originally moved to Whidbey
Island to avoid marauding bands of

p.m. and 4 p.m.
The Theatre of the Mask Company
grew out of a group of four or five ·
people coming together to read plays for
pleasure. The focus was mainly on
classical and modem interpretations of
Greek drama. Out of these OIlce-a-week
meetings, the impulse to produce Medea
was born. Since Greek drama is not
produced often, the director, Hirsh
Diamant, decided to produce Medea out
of the desire to show classical theater to
people who don't get the opponunity to
see it often, or at all. It is being done in
full traditional maslcs, made and painted
by Hirsh Diamant. The play is being
produced as a benefit for the Olympia
Waldorf School. Most the cast members
are, in some way, connected with
Waldorf School either as parents of
children attending the school, or friends
and supponers.
Medea attacks contemporary issues
such as the role of men and women in
society and how those roles are changing.
It tackles the problems of changing
relationships in families and the values of
love versus success and obligation versus
status. There are many sexual amt.genda,.
questions raised in Medea.
Greek tragedy is unique; it is a
toIaIly different form than modem theater.
The actors talk directly to the audience,
there is no "fourth wall" or division
between the audience and the actor.
There is a chorus that mediates between
the actors and the audience, commenting
on the action and acting as a son of
reponer or newscaster on the events

polystyrene ban. A trial began February
5 and ended the following day . "The
trial is over," said the City Auditor's
Office on Tuesday. 'The court ruled in
favor of the ban."
Andrew Sehser,
Editor of the Portland Free Press,
which has been IICtive in supporting the
ban, called the decision "a real victory
for the people."
In addition to the lawsuit, another
weapon in the anti-ban campaign has
been McDonald's formidable public relations machine. The McDonald's corporation has published advertisements in
magazines thr-oughout the U.S. that
show smiling children playing in a park
among disguised polystyrene with the

An informational place mat, distributed by McDonald's in Massachusetts,
Eastern New York, Connecticut, Vermont, and New Hampshire, depicts a

precipitated a replacement that year by
