Evergreen President Joe Olander is
one of four finalists for the position of
chief executive officer of the Monlana
state university system.
"When I leave Evergreen I simply
don' t want to leave to go to a place
that's not a challenge," Olander said in
an interview last Thursday. "When I
came here the first thing I faced at
Evergreen was a severe financial crises ....
The challenge would be the same."
"The prospect of being able to be
involved in choosing half of the
leadership of the university system is an
incentive," he added.
Montana has one central governing
board
which
supervises
its
six
universlues, fi ve vocational-technical
schools and three community colleges.
The commissioner of higher education,
the position for which Olander is being
considered, heads the governing board.

The Board of Trustees Tater reviewed
the accusations made by Hitchens and
Carlson and unanimously supported
Olander.
A written statement made by the
trustees read in part: "Our review of the
material submitted by Hitchens and
Carlson, and our review of Dr. Olander's
background and credentials, show no
evidence that Dr. Olander has lied and no
evidence of fraudulent misrepresenlation
of his academic background.
These
allegations are totally unfounded and. in
our opinion, have been irresponsibly
made. We find a few technical mistakes
from the past, but no pattern of deception
or fraud."
The trustees also stated, "These are
not claims that Dr. Olander does not
have degrees he says he has received;
rather, their claims concern such things as
exactly wlfell he' recCivoo them and ill
whai area of study he received them."
In an interview Tuesday, Hitchens
said he had hoped the trustees would
institute a disinterested third party
investigation. "I did nol anticipate that
they would dismiss us as insignificant or
irresponsible .... These allegations are not
irresponsibly made."
On November 22, 1989, Hitchens and
Carlson had presented their concerns to
trustee Herb Gelman through lawyer
Jerome Buzzard, according to a statement
the professors distributed on campus
January 9.
"We waited thirteen days before a
response was given, and felt the matter
was to be swept aside," the professors
said in the slatement. "We took our
allegations to a public forum bciCause we
feared the Board of Trustees was going
to ignore them."
Hitchens
and
Carlson
have
threatened to go to court to have Olander
removed from his position.
"We have been in consultation with
legal counsel and in effect they've said
wait and see," Hitchens said Tuesday.
"Is the faculty going to move in any
direction, is it going to lake a position?
If so, what's that position?"
"The
response
so
far
has
been ... direct angry attacks from some
sources and ' my real close friends ...
supporting me and then there's this big
mass of unheard from folks in the
middle... "
When asked about student response,
Hitchens said, "They're quiet Amazingly
quiet
It's possible a lot of students
wonder what the big deal is."

Two faculty members who publicly
accuSed Evergreen-President Joe Olander
of falsifying items on his resume and
demanded he be fired want a
disinterested third party to investigate the
matter.
Olander has denied intentionally
misrepresenting his academic record and
offered explanations for each point raised
by the professors.
According to a series of articles in
The Olympian, Dave Hitchens and Craig
Carlson made their allegations during a
Faculty Agenda Committee meeting on
December 6, insisting the Board of
Trustees fire Olander.
Olander responded to the allegations
by holding a press conference December
9. He denied intentionally falsifying his
resume and presented explanations for
each discrepancy.
The Evergreen State College
Olympia, WA 98505
Address Correction Requested
Washington has a separate board of
trustees for each of its four year colleges.
In response to recent allegations
questioning the integrity of his resume,
Olander said he changed Jtis resume
when he submitted it for the Monlana
position.
"I don ' l want the things that were
confusing to people to be a source of
controversy or hurt
A matter of a
bachelor of arts degree being general
studies or English - it' s a bachelor of arts
degree."
Olander said he is not sure how the
recent controversy will affect his chances
of being offered the position in Montana .
"All I can say is I ultimately have faith
in people and in people's good will. I
have a belief that people there will be
very professional and look at all the
candidates equally. I have no reason to
think otherwise at this point."
When asked if he had any advice for
Evergreen students conceming resumes,
Olander said he has thought about it a
great deal. "I have seen resumes from
students here which say they have
different specialties depending upon the
job for which they apply."
"I would just say that the students be
true to their own instincts about what
they have to offer and list the degrees
they earned with an emphasis listed. 1

of who you are but of how you want
I don't mean a
others to see you.
fraudulent public image ... but if you have
a number of areas of interest..and you
decide at graduation that you really want
to apply for a position that would be
enhaoced if you emphasized [on a
resume] that you had the capacity, the
qualifications, the interest, I think you
should do that"

As of January 1. 1990, all people in
all non-residential buildings at Evergreen
are breathing a little easier. and it has
some people smoking mad.
The new no-smoking policy, drawn
up by the Smoking DTF last year, sets
aside CAB 104 as the only indoor haven
for smokers, while banning smoking
everywhere else on campus. The
residential halls and mods maintain their
own procedures for smoking.
Ken Winkley, the Vice President of
Finance and Administration. said the
implementation of the plan cost the
school $6.000 for the installation of a
separate ventilation system in CAB 104.
and another $8.000 to $14,000 for the
new covered outdoor smoking areas
around campus.
The Smoking DTF file in Winkley's
office claims these costs will be
recovered
through
the
reduced
"maintenance and utility costs in the
buildings" as a result of the smoke-free
environment.
In addition, ,the plan calls for the
initiation of smoking cessation classes to
help those on campus who are interested
in quitting.

it out to enter CAB.
Chairperson Jim Johnson. has been
mixed. with most people supporting the
new policy.
"There wasn't much opposition in
the public hearings." Johnson said.
However, not everyone around
campus supports the smoking ban.
"We should ' be intolerant with
method. Cockburn said. is to simply
ignore the movements on the street.
"How many of you knew that the
PislOnn coal miners on strike took over
and
occupied
a
plant
during
Thanksgiving?" Cockburn asked the
audience. A handful of arms went up.
"Here was the most dramatic union action
since 1937 and it was ignored by the
New York Times and the Washington
Post, the two top opinion- fonning
newspapers in the nation. The miners
asked 'How can we get this covered? We
even sent in a video tape.'" Cockburn
replied to their question. "Next time do it
in Poland. then surely it will be covered."
Continuing in a mute manner about
the news surrounding the Pistonn Coal
strike, the press ignored the fact that after
Senator McGlaughlin's father, a judge.
fmed the miners $37 million. the senator
lost his race to a man who wrote in on
a ballot, three weeks before the election,
supporting the striking miners. It was an
unprecedented political victory according
to Cockburn, yet it went virtually
unreported.
Another method of infonnation
manipulation by the mainstream media is
accomplished by changing the emphasis
of the events by shifting the focus of the
questioning. asking who did it instead of

on the DTF and in the administration
interested in banning smoking as "Health
Fascists."
.
The issue of creating a smoke-free
environment at Evergreen was born with
Governor Gardner's executive order 8806 which banned smoking in all state
facilities, buildings, and vehic les early
last year.
The executive order was a reaction
to the ever-growing proof that secondhand smoke is a cause of lung cancer,
heart-disease,
and
pregnancy
complications.
However. since Evergreen. along
with other colleges, is run by a board of
trustees, the order was non-binding. A
personal letter from the Governor to the
college requesting that the college comply
with the order anyway saw the birth of
the Smoking DTF last year.
It is too early in the new year to
gauge the success of the new no-smoking
policy. but while the air around campus
will cenainly begin to clear, the protests.
like Bob Sluss', will surely smolder.

How to recycle on, campus
by Glenn Duncan
Evergreen's recycling program is
once again in operation. Although a
cursory look might suggest otherwise,
as the recycling coordinator I can
assure you that in actuality the wheels
of recycling have begun 10 turn.
Materials are being collected and
consolidated at sites around school.
Vendors from the Olympia area are
again picking up our recyclables from
these locations and hauling them away
for reprocessing.
Poor coordination with them up 10
this point has led to material build-ups
that has glutted some areas where pick
ups occur. Hopefully we are nearing
the end of this phase, and from now
on there will be barrels available for
all who want to participate in TESC's
recycling efforts.
'Don't give up on the
recycling efforts going on
here at TESC.·
Because the campus proper is
served by Evergreen staff, it has
managed to function to the degree that
the system is set up to do so. The
housing complex, on the other hand, is
faring far worse. There, it is each
recycler's responsibility to see that
materials are prepared correctly and
placed in the containers for pick up.
It hasn't been happening that way.
One reason is lack of container
space. Another is lack of knowledge on
of what is
the participants part
expected of them. Hopefully, now that
snafus with vendors are being resolved
we can get these messy details cleared
up and get on with what needs 10 be
done.
I apologize 10 any and all who
have been inconvenienced or offended
by the mess and will do my best 10 get
the system operating smoothly and
work toward improving those areas that
could use it. Until then, please, don't
give up on the recycling efforts going
on here at TESC. Everyone is
encouraged to participate. There are
from Cockburn, page 3
the power to change the world He
expressed a belief in the power of local
community papers, alternative presses, the
community meetings of activists and
observers who return from war-tom
nations with first-hand accounts of the
events occurring on the streets.
He also felt as if the truth could be
heard on community radio, national
public radio, and on local talk shows.
Real political change occurred in the
communities, with local elections and
actions spreading out into national
policies.
Cockburn ended his lecture with a
question and answer period which drew
questions about events occurring around

collection sites for cans (aluminum),
glass, mixed paper and cardboard
located around the campus. Please take
advantage of them.
Please remember that the people
that are collecting your recyclables are
doing just that; they are not here 10
sort through your trash. To make it
easier for them 10 do their job please
follow these guidelines:
·Clean all cans and bottles before
depositing them in recycling container.
Sanitation dictates that this be the case.
If you're not going 10 take the
responsibility 10 clean them please take
the responsibility 10 garbage them
yourself and save others the time and
hassle of doing it for you.
•After cleanillg, be sure 10 separate
the glass by color. There are separate
barrels for clear, green and brown
colored glass. Please use them.
Separation by color is important
because the color purity required for
the remelt into new containers is quite
high.
Again, it requires that each of
us do our part Please note that many
wine bottles and some beer bottles
Tin (hi-metal) cans are not being
collected at this time by the people that
service the Evergreen campus. To those
folks who have been diligently
cleaning, flattening and bringing them
to the collection centers I have 10 say
that it's to no avail. Call me and I will
direct you to locations in the area that
will accept them. To those that have
been hauling in tin cans with the rest
of your trash this creates another
opportunity .
It involves learning the difference
between aluminum and tin, separating
the two, and turning one into dumpster
food and the other inlO another new
and exciting aluminum something.
Flattened cardboard is being
collected on the loading docks behind
Lab I, behind the Library. and below
the CAB, as well as in the new shed
being COilStruCted behind the· Comer.
The shed will remain locked but
flattened boxes can be left under the
eves out of the weather behind The
·Comer and will be transferred inlO the
shed. Cardboard beer containers will
get picked up wil,h , ~ empti.es in them
.as noted above: ,.The :Vendors that

for everyone's help with this. I'll add
here that the shed b$:hind The Comer
is still unfmished due to its own set of
snafus but I'm hopeful that some time
soon we will have the use of it.
At this point there is no collection
center for paper of any type anywhere
in the housing complex. I will try to
make inroads into the matter as the
year progresses; for now please take
advantage of the collection facilities
which do exist on the campus proper.
Please feel free to contact me with
If there are not empty
barrels available, please do
the following: Note location

take

'Bird man' sightings
plague Chehalis
by Chris Bader
Chehalis that mid-sized industrial
town a few miles south of Olympia is
home to some of the stranger stories of
monsters I have heard about
In 1948 a Mrs. Bernice Zaikowski
approached army officials at McChord
Field and told them a bizarre story.
A few days earlier, on tuesday
January 6, 1948, ZBikowski had been at
her home in Chehalis. Around 3:00 p.m.
several small school children asked if
they could enter her back yard, so that
they could see the "bird man" better.
. ZBikowski went outside to see what
the children were talking about and it
was then that she heard a "sizzling" noise
and saw a weird creature hovering over
her barn.
The creature looked like a man, but
had long silver wings attached to its back
with a strap.
As the small crowd
watched the "bird man" performed aerial
acrobatics and toyed with controls
attached to its chest The creature did
not appear to be equipped with a
propeller or any other son of engine.
Although Mrs. Zaikowski and the
children watched the bird man fly into
the distance, no one else in Chehalis
reported the strange beast Officials at
McChord Field, naturally, did not have
much to say about the incident.
The bird man reappeared in April of
1948, and this time he brought a couple
of his buddies.
It was April 9 in Longview, a few
miles south of Chehalis, when Mrs. Viola
Johnson, a laundry worker and Mr. James
Pittman a janitor saw three men in "drab
flying suits" circling the city.
These creatures also had apparatus
strapped to their heads and wore strange
helmets. They kept moving their heads
as if looking . around and their feet
dangled as they flew.
Johnson and Pittman called to fellow
laundry workers, but they arrived too late
to witness the flying freaks.
So far as I know, flying men such as
these have not been reported since those
1948 sightings. Who the bird men were,
if they existed at all, and why they chose
to harass the poor people of southern
Washington is beyond me.

They're annoying to bam: clerks, cashiers
and anyone who ever cleaned a sofa. The
penny should be scrapped, and the merits
of such a good idea can only be
enhanced by taking it further.
One) The penny, nickel and dime
should all be retired. They are all
inconvenient, obsolete and annoying.
Penny arcades, nickel phone calls and
dime stores no longer exist, why should
the coins?
Two) The quarter is still useful, in
fact it's important 10 American life. The
quarter is more than a coin, it's a
passpon to communication, refreshment,
entertainment, information and clean
clothes. With quarters you can even learn
your potential lifespan, biorhythm, stress
level and the state of your sex drive. The
quarter should be kept, but . only
temporarily.
Three) The Quinter. The quinter
would be the new and only U.S. coin. It
would be worth twenty cents, or a fUth
of a dollar, hence the name. Prices and
taxes could easily be adjusted to this
relatively tame alteration. Most businesses
would save money with only one coin to
handle.
Phone companies could afford to
lower the price of a call 10 one quinter.
To be realistic, I'm certain they would
raise it to quinters instead. In any event
the price would go up eventually, so why
not hasten the inevitable? (post Office
and soft drink companies, take note.)
The quinter would be a lxlon to
clerks and cashiers, making change would
be a snap. Ten quinters per two ~llars
would also be more consistent with the
metric system.
Now for some details. The quinter
should be the same size, shape and
weight as the quarter. It's what we're all
used to and no machines would have to
be altered. But whose face should be on
the quinter?
It's a hard decision. The feminist in

me says, "Redress the Susan B. Anthony
dollar coin farce. It was clearly a
conspiracy
against . commemorating
American women anyway, time to settle
accounts. This seems reasonable, but not
Anthony again, too confusing. If the
powers-that-be could manage to celebrate
another American woman, I feel it should
be Abigail Adams.
She was never President, but she
came as close as a woman of her time
could She spent her life, happily, as the
woman behind the man. She raised
children, managed farms and investments
while her husband agitated for revolt, and
generally kept the home fares burning.
John Adams read her letters to Congress
and relied on her advice. Her son John
Quincy Adams consulted her about
everything.
Abigail Adams is the only woman
who married a future president and gave
birth to another. She was a remarkable
woman who lived as countless American
women still live. Commemorating her
would be con~tu1a!ingthell], and high
time, too. (Well, I said this was the
feminist in mel)
Another pan of me wants the quinter
to stand for what America is really all
about Politics has more than its fair
share of space on our money. It's time to
immortalize the other great pursuit of this
nation - big business.
The obvious choice for this is
Andrew Carnegie. He was a shining light
of Ihe monopolistic era, he was greedy,
he was corrupt and he was philanthropic.
The righlness of his image being shoved
into phones and vending machines is
undeniable.
If you want the quinter, please clip
this article and mail it to the Treasury
Department
Who
knows,
maybe
something will get started that won't end
until ''Exchange Your Change" day!

Tuna fishing kills dolphins
by Christopher Muir
Legends of dolphins have their
origins as far back as the Mycenean age.
Homer's Odyssey tells of a time when
Telemaclius, son of Ulysses, was saved
from drowning by a dolphin.
Extensi ve research demonstrates their
playfulness and heroic actions in
defending humans from sharks and
saving
them from drowning. This
reaction is believed to be related to their
social protection against sharks and the
mother's instinct to bring her newborn up
to the surface to breathe.
To date, we have recorded roughly
thirty species in the Family Delphinidae.
They grow to two meters and can weigh
165 kg. They have large brains and there
is considerable folding of the cerebral
cortex-- a key factor in detennining high
intelligence. Marine biologists speculate
that this is due, in part, to needed
acoustical storage. Dolphins use sound
waves to detect food and identify and
communicate with others. They receive
this infonnation in the cavities of their
jaw bones as well as their ear drums.
An article in the Atlantic Mo. reports that
dolphins have been known to survive
while blind but a deaf dolphin will soon
be dead.
Of these thirty-odd species, three
have been of particular interest to
environmental groups:
the spotted
dolphin, spinner dolphin, and common
dolphin, and in this order, they face
possible extinction.
All three share a symbiosis with
yellow fin tuna as well. It's possible this
fish swims with the mammal for
protection and the latter, in ~, may use

the rapid movements of the flsh as a
warning against predators.
Tuna boats have long used leaping
dolphins to spot their catch. This used to
. affect the dolphins not in the least Then
in the mid-sixties, fishennen began
adopting purse-sein (pronounced "sane"),
techniques. This involves herding several
groups of dolphins together using an
effective combination of speed boats,
helicopters, and underwater explosives,
then encircling them with mile long
purse-sein nets.
The buoyed nets are then pulled into
a tuna boat using a power block (this is,
in effect, an electronic winch). To avoid
pulling the dolphins aboard, U.S. tuna
boats are required to practice "backdown": To lower a portion of the net
enough to allow the trapped dolphins to
escape. This JX1ltice is often ignored.
Furthennore, the effects of the
explosives and the sound disruptions by
the boats and helicopters as well as
entangling in the nets often prevent
escape. Sam LaBudd, a biologist, went
aboard one of these boats and filmed the
results: Hundreds of dolphins were
crushed as they are pulled through the
power block onto the deck of the ship.
It would seem that purse-sein nets are
anything but SIlM. On the fllSt occasion
he witnessed the massacre of two to three
hundred dolphins for "ten to twelve
yellowfin tuna." This is an extreme
example but the dry facts are equally
frightening. Since 1959, tuna flshing has
caused the deaths of an estimated 6.5
million dolphins. This figure defies
comprehension. Greenpeace offers another
statistic: nearly 100,000 dolphins a year.
Even this is too large to fully appreciate.
One thousand, nine-hundred dolphins
are being killed every week for the tuna
we consume. That's 274 dolphins a day.
These 6.5 million lifeless dolphins
represent
the
"official"
estimates.
According to the Atlantic Mo.,
dolphins showing any signs of life are
tossed back into the sea to fare for
themselves. Separated from each other,
these dolphins die from sharks or
starvation.
This alanning situation has . been
met
with
opposition.
In
1972,
environmental lobbyists fought and won
an expensive battle against the tuna
industry to enact the Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA). It demanded: "It
shall be the immediate goal that the
incidental kill or serious injury of marine
mammals pennitted in the course of
commercial fishing operations be reduced
to insignificant levels approaching zero."
In 1976 the U.S. tuna industry
given quotas and forced to create new
technologies to save dolphins. The
technologies were never implemented,
however, and in 1984, the bill was again
amended and the original goal of zero
mortality sank into obscurity. Recent
actions have restored 100% coverage and
prohibited U.S. boats from "setting" on
dolphins at night, when there is a higher
mortality rate.
In response to these pressures, many
boats have refJagged and continue their
slaughter. Eleven years ago, there were
98 U.S. "class six" tuna seiners. Thirty
remained in 1989. Tuna companies are
allowed to buy from whomever they
wish, and so the problem remains.
was
Only 5% of the world's tuna is
caught in ways that affect dolphins, yet
their peril is obvious. As participants in .

grocers to verify "dolphin-safe" products

As a member of the S&A Board I
have the responsibility to read piles of
intercampus memos every week. These
memos
serve
as
an
important
communication tool since it is not
possible for me to attend every meeting.
I shall comment on one memo that I saw
this week.
STUDENT ART GALLERY
Some history will help us frame this
issue. Last year some student work was
on display outside the campus cafeteria.
Apparently, a group of community
citizens went to the cafeteria during a
break from their week-end conference and
saw the student presentation on display
and were very offended by the
pornographic nature of the display. These
people complained and the display was
removed. This incident led to the
formulation of guidelines for the Student
Art Gallery. These guidelines were
formulated with the intention of removing
offensive art displays.
Jose Gomez, in his December 5
memo to Stone Thoma", raises several
interesting issues about the proposed
process and criteria. Item #3 of the
proposed criteria states the "Submissions
which could be considered objectionable
to any member of the community must
be reviewed by committee."
'Most art IS likely to be
objectionable to someone'
(Jose Gomez)
Jose correctly points out that "most
art is likel y to be objectionable to
someone." Indeed, many would argue that
the purpose of art is to push people's
the future of SAG?
buttons, challenge perceptions and make
people uncomfortable. Author John
Dewey put it this way, "As long as art is
the beauty parlor of civilization neither
art nor civilization is secure." The
creation of an institutionalized process to
judge the appropriateness of displaying
certain kinds of art on campus sets a
dangerous precedent not far from the
ultra-rightwing position of Senator Jesse
Helms.
Although Jose brings up many
important issues in his memo, all of
which I agree with, he fails to raise what
I believe is the central issue. I believe
these misguided process and criteria
guidelines are a Band-Aid approach to
the problem. You might also conclude
that they are a smoke-screen covering up
the real problems. To create some "holier
than thou" committee to screen student
art work is absurd. Whose idea was it to
create this comm ittee in the fllSt place.
Was this process initiated by students? I
doubt it
'To create some -holier than
thou- committee to screen
student art work is absurd'
The concern of some students and
about the display of offensive art
in public places is a valid issue. Indeed,
why should I have to look at
uncomfortable or erotic art when I just
wanted to have a salad or some coffee?
I do not think that it is fair or
appropriate to subject people to this
without a choice. The real issue is not
what is appropriate to display but where
is it appropriate to display. To call the
display cases outside of the cafeteria a
ri~izens
Page 8 Cooper Point Journal January 11. 1990
Student Art Gallery is abuse of the
English language. Perhaps the real issue
is that there is no Student Art Gallery.
Only some display cases outside the
cafeteria.
If students had a real art
gallery with a door then people would
have a choice whether to enter or not.
The
importance
of
evaluating
appropriateness would disappear since
people would have a choice. If the art
was potentially "objectionable" then a
sign would infonn people before they
entered This is how radio and television
have handled this issue, why not
'To call the display cases
outside the cafeteria a Student
Art Gallery is abuse of the

Evergreen? I'll answer that question. The
reason we can't do this is that there is no
space for a Student Art Gallery. The
College is probably unwilling to give up
Gallery Four for students and space is at
a premium on campus. Can you imagine
the uproar from a suggestion that the
Faculty/Staff lounge in the CAB become
a Student Art Gallery?1 What 8 can of
wonns that would be. As far as I can see
the issue is not criteria or process. As I
said earlier this is the Band-Aid. The real
issues are space, money and priority.
These are the issues we must discuss to
resolve this problem. As an S&A Board
member I welcome comments and
participation on this and other important
issues facing the college this decade. I
can be reached through the S&A office
or through KAOS Radio. The dangers of
reviewing art as has been proposed have
many unseen hazards. dmund Wilson
warns us with this statement, "The most
immoral, disgraceful and dangerous thing
that anybody can do in the arts is
knowingly to feed back to the public its
own ignorance and cheap taste." We
would all do well to remember this sage
advice.

President ignores
greenhouse effect
by Carol B. HaD
George Bush promised to be the
"environmental president" during his 1988
campaign for ~e White House, but so far
he's shown more concern for the political
environment Bush and his chief of staff,
John Sununu, are putting the brakes on
efforts to curb the green house effect
even as state legislatures and foreign
nations are increasingly concerned about
it
Bush has not made good on his
promise to hold an international
conference on global wanning this year,
and he sent Environmental Protection
Agency head WiDiam Riley to a meeting
of international environmental ministers in
HoUand recently to put down a Dutch
proposal to cut greenhouse gases 20
percent by 2005.
Currently, the world's scientiflc
community agrees that a greenhouse of
some magnitude is coming as the result
of certain gases -- carbon dioxide (CO),
nitrous
oxides,
methane,
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) -- trapping
heat like glass in a botanical greenhouse
and thus wanning the planet, with dire
consequences. The main sources of these
dangerous gases are automobile emissions
and industrial pollutants. The only dispute
about the greenhouse centers around the
questions, when? and how much?
Bush and Sununu are claiming that
greenhouse effect data are insufficient and
incomplete, and do not warrant a rush by
the U.S. to undertake expensive and
unpopular remedies. In other words, they
really doubt that the predicted greenhouse
will ever actually occur, and they're
willing to bet the earth's future on these
doubts.
Bush and Sununu are nitpicking
minor details. Scientific data contains
some conflicts over when the greenhouse
will take full effect and how hot it wiD
get, but most scientists agree the
greenhouse wiD be here eventually. How
much more data is it going to take to
make the Bush gang take this threat to
life on earth seriously?
If we wait 10 or 20 years to take
serious action to curb the greenhousecausing pollutants, it may be too late. As

Mohammed EI-Ashry, of the Washington
think·tank World Resources Institute, said
recently, "When we waited for more
research on acid rain, we ended up
realizing that everything we knew 10
years earlier was true."
Some states have taken the
initiative where the federal government
has fallen down.
New York, New Jersey, and six
New England states recently agreed to
adopt California emissions standards for
all vehicles by 1993, thus reducing
deadly gases from vehicle emissions.
Vermont,
Irvine, CA, and
Newark, NJ have voted to ban CFCs,
which destroy the earth's protective orone
layer, and are used in air conditioning
and the manufacture of blown plastic
foam. And many other states are
considering action as well.
The Bush White House also could
take steps now to lessen global wanning
in the future. After all, even if the
greenhouse doesn't arrive for years, it
would be much easier to gradually begin
switching from oil to solar energy,
practicing strict conservation of energy in
all forms, moving to more fuel-efficient
and cleaner cars, and planting more trees
right now, rather than later.
When the greenhouse takes over,
we could suffer more droughts, more
severe stonns, and increasing crop
failures. And any last-minute clean-up
efforts will be too little too late.
Environmentalists say the Bush
administration is listening to money talk,
as large, industry-sponsored lobby groups
oppose singling out American companies
to cure the greenhouse problem.
Certainly, Bush is making excuses
to avoid the greenhouse issue's high
political and economic price tag .. America
produces nearly a quarter of the worlds'
CO emissions, so real solutions would
disrupt key industries. And we wouldn't
want to jeopardize Bush's career by
dampening the economy before tI\e 1992
election, now, would we?

EDITORIAL
Dave Hitchens and Craig Carlson
. have made serious allegations concerning
the resume of our college's president Joe
Olander. Since the allegations have been
made public, the issue of Joe Olander
lying on his resume has been diffused
into a number of related issues. These
include the press, the process of how the
allegations were made public, who in the
Evergreen community is allowed the
information, and what, if any, the
underlying motivation is.
, Whether Hitchens and Carlson should
have brought the matter to the press at
the same time they brought the issue to
the faculty agenda committee, or whether
they should have tried harder to work
within the system and forced the Board
of Trustees to communicate with them
face to face, not through an outside
lawyer, should be debated, but · the
original issue needs to be resolved.
It d~ not matter now how
Olander's resume became public nor what
problems are involved in bringing such
infonnation to light. The fact is it has
been brought to light, and it .must be
dealt with.
The Board of Trustees had two
decisions: investigate the allegations, or
simply stand behind Olander. They chose
the latter. The Board of Trustees' private
consultation with their lawyer and
Olander resulting in their unequivocal
stand behind him leaves doubts from all
concerned.
While the Trustees may have got the
press off Evergreen's collective back for
awhile, they must have known the issue
would not die. (As I write this, an article
has appeared in the Wednesday
Olympian.)
The only way to put the main issue
to rest is an official outside investigation.
If Hitchens' and Carlson's accusations
are correct, it will be proven and action
can be taken. The Trustees won't be able
to bury the findings and Olander would
likel y be dismissed.
If the investigation shows Olander
innocent of any falsifications the Trustees
would not only quiet the press but erase
any doubts over the issue.
If the Trustees have confidence in
Olander, the investigation shouldn't be a
problem. But by denying a problem exist,
it leaves room for speculation, and the
issue will not die.
Students can play a role in the
decision process, even though much of
the infonnation has been denied to them.
Through the Student Union (which is
theoretically composed of all students),
demand an investigation and open access
to the information Hitchens and Carlson
received.

'Throwing tantrulllS'
What is the point?
The controversy over President Joe
Olander's credentials has been going on
for months. As a student, I felt that this
situation had been satisfactorily settled,
explained, and reviewed in December.
Joseph Olander was up front with the
Evergreen community, genuinely honest,
and professional. As A student I have
tried to fmd out as much as possible
about the position of Carlson and
Hitchens, short of meeting with them. I
want to know-- what is your point?
Obviously you want President Olander
replaced, but what is your real agenda,
why do you really want the President
removed from his position? To be blunt,
it's a good idea to contact the editors
ahead of deadline.

for being under the illusion that the
university is a place of free inquiry.
While the presidents of the
universities of Michigan and Wisconsin,
among others, have hailed these codes or'

president of Stanford, is resisting the
notion that students are best taught to
think for themselves by being told what
they can't say. When you tell people
what they can't say, Kennedy has
emphasized, they will begin to suppress
what they think.

American colleges where language is

language. Can you imagine his asking to
be protected from somebody else's-anybody else's-- words?
I've debated black students about
these speech codes. They are highly
articulate and quick with polemical
counterpoint And I've asked them why
on earth they are running away from
language when they can tum a campus
into a continuing forum on racism by
using the vicious racist language directed
at them to illuminate what's going on
there.
Moreover, by turning to censorship
instead of challenge, these students can
well cut off the expression of speech they
themselves want to hear.
On ABC-TV's NlGJrrUNE some
time ago, debating Barbara Ransby (a
Ph.D. student at the University of
Michigan and a founder of the United
Coalition Against Racism). I posed this
quite possible scenario: A group of black
students invite Louis Farrakhan to lecture
in a political-science class. He comes and
says, "I want to explain what I said about
Judaism's being a gutter religion.
I
meant it, but I want to give you the
context in which I said it."
There are Jewish students in the
class and they claim that-- according to
the university's code-- Farrakhan has
created a hostile atmosphere. In my view,
Farrakhan ought to be able to speak
anywhere he chooses, and certainly on a
college campus. As long as the students
have the right to question him and argue
with him, they'll have sometJJing to gain
from the experience. But under the
speech codes at more and more colleges,
Farrakhan-- having created a hostile
atmosphere-- would quite likely not be
permitted on campus again.
'Expressions of racism,
sexism,
homophobia,
anti-semitism,
and
prejudice against the
handicapped are to be
outlawed. '
Accordingly, on a number of
prestigious campuses, a majority of
students and faculty have concluded that
censorship must be integral to higher
education. As Canetta Ivy - one of the
heads of student government at Stanford
University - says, "We don't put as many
restrictions on freedom of speech as we
should."
A quarter of a century after the free
speech movement began at the University
of California at Berkeley, helping fuel the
antiwar and civil rights campaigns, some
of the brightest ·of today 's students are
marching in the other direction.
This neoconservatism among liberals
and radicals, blacks and feminists, aold
even a number of law professors, has its
roots in the very real racism' that does
exist on a number of campuses. At
Brown, for instance, fliers were
dis tributed reading: "Things have been
going downhill since the kitchen help
moved into the classroom." At Smith,
four black women received vicious racist
letters. At Yale, the Afro-American
Cultural
Center ' s
building
was
emblazoned with a WHITE POWER sign
and a swastika.
In reaction , black students and many
white students have joined to insist on
the creation of codes not only of student
conduct but also of student speech.
Administrators, often enthusiastically,
have yielded to these demands.
There are now various codes of
forbidden speech at Emory University,
the University of Wisconsin, the
University of California, the University of
Buffalo Law School and New York
and Chinese colleges-- there are students
afiaid to explore certain lines of thought
lest they be considered racist or sexist.
At New York University Law School, for
example, where heresy hunters abound in
If you read Ma1colm X's collected
speeches and listen to his recordings, it's
clear that he was an extraordinarily
resilient, resolD"Ceful, probing master of
from 'flexing muzzles' page 10
committees and a generally hostile
classroom reception regarding any student
comment right of center."
At Stanford, the student organizations
insistently demanding a code of forbidden
language include the Asian Law Students
Association, the Black Law Students
Association, the Jewish Law Students
Association and the Asian-American
Students Association. From these groups
and from NYU Law School will come
some of the judges of the next decades,
and maybe even a Supreme Court Justice
or two.
The First Amendment is always
fragile-- witness the frenzy to amend the
Bill of Rights after the Supreme Court
ruled in June that the First Amendment
protected flag burning. But with students
at prestigious colleges now intent on
limiting speech for a greater social good,
the First Amendment will become even
more vulnerable to attack in the years
ahead.

scrawls. But now the language being

black speakers they invite on c.a:mpus

how they say it? Do women students

Also
overlooked
by
students
concerned with artistic expression is that
a hostile atmosphere can be created by a

classes is like that of the old-time House
Un-American Activities Committee. One

painting or a piece of sculpture, because
expression can be graphic as well as
verbal.
When
the
University
of
Wisconsin's code was being debated
before the state's board of regents, E.
David Cronon-- then dean of UW-
Madison's College of Letters and
Science-- testified that the code should,
indeed, chill students' rights to artistic
expression. For example, some years
ago, I was lecturing at the University of
Wisconsin when a fierce fight broke out
over a student's exhibition of paintings in
a university building. Feminists claimed
his work was outrageously sexist and
demanded that the paintings be removed.
The administration gingerly upheld the
artist and the very core of an univeisity's
reason for being: the right to freedom of
expression. But under the university's
new code of propriety, that exhibition
would be scrapped as fast as you can say
"Edwin Meese."
Furthermore-- and this is a poigrtant
dimension of the rush to virtuous
censorship-- it won't do a bit of good.
Let us suppose these codes were in place
on every campus in the country. Would
racism go away? No, it would go
underground, in the dark, where it's most
comfortable.
The language on campus could
become as pure as bottled water, but
racist attitudes would still fester. The
only way to deal with racism is to bring
it out into the open-- not suppress it.
One approach is to examine particular
incidents on a particular campus and get
people-- and that includes blacks-- to talk
about their own racist attitudes. This
approach won't work wonders, but,

scratched out extends to any words that
create a hostile atmosphere or any
language that "involves an express or
implied threat to an individual's academic
efforts" --whatever that may mean.
There is also the damaging effect of
these protective regulations on the very
people who are insisting they be
safeguarded. Malcolm X used to talk
about the need for young people to learn
how language works, how to dissect it,
how to use it as both a shield and a
sword. Above all, he thought, blacks
should not be fearful of language. They
should not let it intimidate them but

carbon dioxide would have been released
into the sky (according to the April 7,
1989 i.~ue of the New York Times.)
This is only a small fraction of oil
that is burned annually in America. In
order to burn sixty million -pounds 'of
carbon dioxide via smoking, the following
approximated number of cigarettes must
be smoked: 5,010,000,000,000- a figure I
cannot even pronounce.
When one considers the amount of
smoke and other toxic chemicals being
pumped into the sky everyday by

factories, vehicles and such, the issue of
cigarette smoke becomes dwarfed. We
are all inhaling far worse pollutants
everyday.
Last year in Connecticut alone, fiftyeight million pounds of toxic substances
emitted by industry contaminated the air,

water and land (as stated in the New
York Times on April 16,1989.)
The executive director of the
Connecticut Fund for the Environment,
Suzanne Y. Mattei says, "A lot of these
toxins have no odor. You can't smell
. them and ·you can't see them, but they're
there and doing us damage. I hope this
opens our eyes to what we can't see."
At least we can see and smell
cigarette smoke: If we do not want to be
subjected to it, we can leave its vicinity.
But, w~ do not have the same choice
concernmg pollutants we cannot see or
smell. If cigarettes could not be seen and
had no odor, would banning them still be
an issue?
Again the focus of our society and
government policy is off target Our
country has a tendency to focus
emphatically on the small issue within the
big issue; perhaps to divert our attention
from the real crisis.
How do we explain the deaths
among infants due to various cancers and
respiratory diseases'!
Certainly these
infants do not smoke! We now have
evidence that 30% to 70% of cancers are
environmentally caused (according to the
book Indoor Air Quality.)
Hopefully, this will promote a reevaluation of priorities concerning air
pollutants.

students leading these probes, whatever
happens will be a lot more useful than
squashing expression. And it may lead to
specific, durable changes on campus,
which will also be a lot more productive
then qlPbbling over who created a hostile
atmosphere and whether or not it was
done intentionally.
But the way the lemmings-administrators as well as students-- are
going, the anti-free speech movement
may intimidate and harass students for
some time to come. And it's scary. As
Lee Dembart-- a former New York Times
reporter who is now a student at Stanford
Law School-- said in the Times:
"It is distressing that the 'politically
correct' view on campus these days
seems to fav(I curtailment of speech.
Oddly, defense of the First Amendment is
now an antiprogressive view.
Yes,
speech is sometimes painful. Sometimes
it is abusive. That is one of the prices of
a free society. Unfortunately, this is a
lesson that has to be learned over and
over again. No victory endures."
Yet Demhart's views are held by
only a besieged minority. The voice of
the regulatory majority is that of Sharon
Gwyn, a 1989 graduate of Stanford who
wrote in The New York Times:
"As a black woman attending
Stanford University, I feel that no one
should be allowed to promote racially
derogatory ideas on this campus."
'Anything you say can
and will be used against
you.'
And beginning with that simple
preliminary statement, campuses are being
caught in a web of such restriction as
these from Emory University:
Forbidden
is
"discriminatory
harassment," which "includes conduct
(oral, written, ' graphic or physical)
directed against any person or group of
persons because of their race, color,
national origin, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, age, handicap or veteran's
status and that has the purpose or
reasonably foreseeable effect of creating
an offensive, demeaning, intimidating or
hostile environment for that person or
grOllp of persons."
Anything you say can and will be
used against you.
As an indication of the degree to
which America's colleges have retreated
from their reason fur being, here is a
section from the 1975 Report of the
Committee on Freedom of Expression at
Yale (the celebrated C. Vann Woodward
report):
'
"If expression may be prevented,
censored or punished because of its
content or the motives attributed to those
who promote it, then it is no longer free.
I! will be subordinated to the other values
that we believe to be of lower priority in
a university."
Yale has now reaffumed the thrust
of that report. but it is incomprehensible
to too many colleges and universities.
I lecture at colleges and universities
around the country every year, and I
intend to say what I think abut these
shameful speech codes. At some schools,
I may thereby be creating a hostile
atmosphere in lecture halls where there
are students who say they crave
censorship.
And that is precisely my intention: to
create
an
atmosphere
hostile
to
suppression of speech-- for any reason.
Recently, friends of the First
Amendment were given reason for hope
when a Federal district court in Michigan
struck down the University of Michigan's
restrictions on student speech as
unconstitutional. They are too vague and
overbroad, said Judge Avem Cohn, and
therefore in violation of the First
Amendment. The suit was brought by the
A.C.L.U.
This is the fIrst court decision on
university suppression of speech, and
since it is so clear, it may influence other
courts in other parts of the country to
remind colleges and universities that they
are in the' business of free thought. not
regulated thought.

What are the Bad Brains talking about?

Hardcore . Dem rockers broke the scene.
With the quiclcness I people are here to

That sums up the Bad Brain's
musical style on their new album
"Quickness." That is, if you can make
any sense out of it. The lyrics are
certainly the strangest aspect of this
album, a combination of Rasta liDl!:O,
whacked-out concepts and IDlclear
religious undenones.
Don't blow no bubbles. Don't blow
no troubles. There's got to be a better
way. Don't blow no spikes. Ask Jah and
he'll make the change.
Quickness is a funher progression
toward hardcore for Bad Brains, a step
up from their former release I Against I.
These guys have defmitely improved over
the three years since their last album,
that's for sure. This album is tight.

feels so good to know Rasta is not a lie.
The music here moves. It has that
heavy bass and drum beat that makes it
flow like liquid mercury. The guitar
maneuvers in and out with powerful,
pulsing attacks. All serve as a launching
pad for vocalist H.R.'s unique voice.
I'm not a nationalist. We don't trust
politics. God gives us all we want! And
level lives can live. We worship Halie
Selassie. Our Lord through and true. And
under no conditions will I and I stop!
I have only one problem with
Quickness. The last song, "The Prophet's
Eye," is a reggae tune! Yeah, it's a
catchy tune, but much too mellow to put
at the end of a hardcore attack. They try
to patch it up with "Endtro," a 15 second
instrumental burst, but it really doesn't
change the fact that this album has a
weak ending.
Oh ancient Queen of Cush. Tale .
beyond compare. What faith in du£iny.
To gain in her story. With royal bounty

Aside from its ending, "Quickness"

"Quickness," Bad Brains is here to stay.

If I didn't know better I'd swear
this was MC Ghost, doyen of
Oakland's Goat Guys From Hell.
G.G.F.H. are white rappers, but don't
mistake them for the Beastie Boys.
The Beasties grasp and emulate the
feet-shuffling hip-hop beats that the
black groups made so well known; MC
Ghost and his crew know they're
incurably white, so they don't even try.
They set their drum machine no faster
than a coma patient's heartbeat, whip
in fuzz guitar droning like a drugged
wasp, and top it off with 01' Ghost
himself hissing about drugs, bitches,
hoes, and the legendary Grarnma/crack
connection. You can twitch to this
stuff, slowly, but it'll never cut it on
the dance floor next to YOlDlg MC's
"Bust A Move" orKool Moe Dee's "I
Go To Work." Which Fro. sure, is fine
with the Goat Guys; theirs is a select
audience, with a taste for perverse
gangsterisms muttered mock-nursery
rhyme style. I have one of their tapes,
but I need more.
However, I have it on good
authority that Senor Ghost has taken a
long
sabbatical
far
from
Oakland...which brings me to these
guys. Unlike G.G.F.H., MC 900 Foot
Jesus and D1 Zero have the snap; stick
with these funky backbeats and you
will be rewarded. Adroit scratching and
Public Enemy samples abound-sophisticated touches the Goat Guys
would never dream of--and except for
the last cut, the music on this foursong ep is uninterrupted bop city.
however--there's
The

another story. On "Too Bad," the
leadoff cut, MC 900 Ft. Jesus (who
holds a portrait of Christ over his face
on the record cover) rants and rasps in
the same hissing, over-the-phone tone
that Ghost uses. He's an obscene caller
turned righteous holy destroyer:
"You're a pervened evil menace to
society{That's why the world is so
lucky{fo have people like me/Who can
see that your life/Has very little
worth/And you should now be removed
from the face of the earth ... too bad you

enough on paper, but if you've ever

something saying "I'm watching you

scary power of an anonymous voice.
He's got a racing drum machine and
staccato ricky-tick rhythm guitar
backing him up, and it all blends into
a tense, disquieting track. You can take
the man seriously and call the police,
or treat it as merely a brilliant portrait
of a sociopath. That's what's tough
about rap music; the artists leave it to
the listener to decide if their lyrics are '
realism, fantasy, or just speculative
drama, and the stakes get higher every
year. If Eazy-E, for example, has
actually done everything he describes
on his solo album, refusing to buy it
is the very least you can do for
humanity's sake.
The next two cuts have no rapping
on them, but they do establish D1 Zero
as a cutter to be reckoned with--lhis
dude is fast, tight and imaginative,
even if some of his stuff is hard to
hear in the mix. "Do I Have Any
Witness"
uses
the
"Too Bad"
instrumental track and some sampled
evangelical phrases, "Shut Up" has a
shuffle rhythm and what solDlds like
the hand bell riff from Run-DMC's
"Peter Piper."
And then we have "Bom With Monkey
Asses," the last fmal cut, which brings
back the "Shut Up" shuffle...pan of the
time. The music woozes on and off
around the vocal pan, which is, ah .. .at
fITSt I thought they'd trundled the mike
off to a side street and caught a
frazzled street preacher berating
pedestrians in a sassy schoolmarrnish
tone, complete with a woman who
keeps trying to interrupt him. Except,
well, I haven't met a street preacher
yet who says things like "You got a
wig on your goddamn head You an
ugly mulhafucka without somebody
makin' a wig for your fuckin' head."
This is ultimately not a song about
evolutionism vs. creationism, despite
the title and some of the rhetoric. It's
a tribute to another personality type,
this one even more vile and
contemptible than the one who sang

Orchestra performs In C
by Brian Raiter and Andrew Hamlin
The Olympia Chamber Orchestra,
conducted by Timothy Brock, gave a
concen last month of four chamber
works by Hindemith and In C by Terry
Riley, December 7 at the Woman 's
Center in downtown Olympia.
The Hindemith pieces were from a
collection specifically written for
amateur cha!nber ensembles, so they are
not too technically difficult and flexible
in their instrumentation. Such
.
practicality is unfonunately rare in
serious music, and often actually looked
down upon. But the four pieces
performed by the Chamber Orchestra
were DO less interesting for being
accessible. MorgenmusiJc~ for brass
quartet, was a reminder of how little of
the expressive range of brass
instruments is usually explored.
Tafelmusik and Abendiwnzert (the latter
for clarinet and strings only) both had
their own engaging characters. The
. fmal piece, Ploner Musiktag, a cantata
with three female voices, was quite
enjoyable. Unfortunately no translation
of the German text was provided, a
lack most noticeable in the fifth
movement, which was slDlg entirely in
"sprechstimme," a hybrid of song and
speech pioneered by German composer
Arnold Schoenberg.
During intermission the piano was
moved front and center, facing away
from the audience, for Tn C. A famous
minimalist piece, its score is a list of
53 musical fragments. Most of them are
shon--some as simple as two sixteenth
notes or a single dotted whole note-though one fragment is 29 l{l beats
long. The fragments themselves have a
specific tonal charilcter, and modUIat.e
away from and eventuaIIy back to the
key of C. However, every performer
(the piece can be performed by any
number of players, with any
combination of instruments) repeats
each fragment as many times as they
feel the performance demands, and then
waits an appropriale time before
beginning the next one. The only
requirement given by the score is that
no one person be too far ahead or
behind the rest (in this performance, the
orchestra agreed to stay within five
fragments of each other).
Instead of listening to the music of
a single composer, you are in the
presence of a roomful of composers, all
listening to each other to detennine how
to proceed. In place of a conductor, a
pianist holds the tempo by plunlcing the
top two Cs on the keyboard, four
quarter-notes to each measure. This task
was shouldered by Courtney Crawford,
who set a careful, deliberate tempo of
about 100 beats per minute. The
timekeeper's task is not an easy one; he
or she must keep a strict tempo foc the
other musicians, and In C has no set
length; tlJe performers, interacting with
each other, decide the duration of the
piece even as they play. The Chamber
Orchestra's version lasted abQut 45 '
minutes, but other ensembles have kept
it going for several hours.
The beginning of this piece is very
exciting: the entire orchestra sits silent
but for the piano, and you realize that
nobody. not even the performers, knows
exactly what will happen nexl 'F"mally
the cellist was the first to dive in, and
from there it wasn't long before
everybody else followed. Though at any
given point each insttument is doing
something different. the fact that they
all maintain their proximity in the score
keeps them together in the way that the
population of a busy downtown can
seem to all be working together, sharing
thoughts and purposes without ever
directly communicating them. I have
heard recorded performances of this
piece, but they do not compare to
actually being in the presence of one.
And this relatively young ensemble
brought it to life brilliantly.
Brian Raiter is a long-time student at
Evergreen, and a longtime aficionado
of contemporary music.
We want to thank the
community for making
1989 our mod successful
