Spielberg's Last Crusade misses all the important pieces '. :
By Edward Martin III
Watching Raiders of tbe Lost Ark is
still a deeply religious experience for me.
Even watching Indiana Jones and the
Temple of Doom is pretty good
sometimes. Unfortunately, Indiana jones
and the Last Crusade doesn't quite
bring things back fuD circle like I hoped
it would.
In an interview held during the
filming of Temple or Doom, Harrison
Ford commented that trying to portray a
younger Indiana Jones with an older
Harrison Ford was only a bit less than
impossible. Thank God there probably
wasn't going to be a third movie, he
said, because there is just a certain limit
to cosmetics.
Maybe cosmetics does
have a limit, but casting doesn't. During
a short prequel to the movie, River
Phoenix plays a younger Indiana, where
some of Indiana's trademarks - the
braided whip, the felt fedora and the
understandable fear of snakes - are
explained.
But Indiana jones and tbe Last
Crusade is missing the same vitality that
bwned in Raiders. It is that mysticism
that haunts your imagination, leaving you
with a Lovecraftian feeling that there are
many things man does not understand.
Last Crusade gives up that mysticism in
Page 12 May 25, 1989 Cooper 'Point Journal
favor of a more mechanical approach. In
the place of the wondrous magic of the
miracle of the Ark or Mala Ram's
terrifying sacrifices, we discover that all
the magic is only clever machines and
carefully decipherable riddles. The more
I think about it, the more I'm reminded
of Goonies, an unfavorable comparison at
best.
Spielberg overcompensates for this
lack of magic by performing impossible
tricks with the special effects, although
many of the settings and effects are pure
ambition at work.
Indiana jones and the Last
Crusade was not the splendid adventure
that Spielberg is capable of. It is cotton
candy, albeit good cotton candy.
With that in mind, do try and see it.
It is a lot of fun, with clifihangers and
all the other goodies that make us twitch,
even though we insist to our dates that
we didn't really.
Sean COMery is terrific as Professor
Jones, Indiana's father. Alison Doody,
poor gal, had a fun character while she
lasted, and so did Julian Glover. If Last
Crusade had to be boiled down to its
essence, tJ'lere would be heroes and
villains left and they would be everything
they were supposed to be. See it for
them.

"Democracy and Tyranny" collaborated to
create a wall mural in the basement of
the Library building. The theme of the
mural is based on the first two quarters
of study by the students and is basically
a chronology of Latin American life,
illustrating the role of colonization,
industrialization, and imperialism. The
project was completed in a seven week:
period this quarter. There is a possibility

Violence against women: fighting silence
by Honna Metzger
Violence. It could be a man grabbing
a woman's breast on the beach trail; a
male faculty member asking a female
student to undress for pictures; a group
of men sunbathing nude on the beach so
that women walk by, unable to avoid
their nakedness.
The Feminist Dictionary defines
violence against women as a punishment
for refusal to be submissive and
dominated by men. The "dictionary"
warns women: male violence looks for
"dead flesh on which to feast."
When the "flesh" awakens and rebels
against abuse, the violence presumedly
wiU increase. Only the female absolute
refusal to be violated and victimized can
stop male arrows of violence from
reaching the passive, fearful, silent target
they seek in women.
Thus began the grim, determined
panel discussion against violence against
women. At fist, few students lOOk places

None other than Vice-President of
Student Affairs, Gail Martin, delivered
the rust testimonial. "I grew up in the
50's. That was the time when you were
supposed to be silent I did what every
good woman of the 1950's did. I married
my high school sweetheart"
He hurt her physically, leaving scars,
but the most violating and frightening act
of emotional abuse was inflicted when he
systematically tore up all of Martin's
treasured books-- seemingly threatened by
a woman engaging in such intellectual
pursuits.
Martin divorced the man, the 60's
replaced the 50's, and "liberation" had
landed. But Martin noticed that during
the 60's, "men had the microphones"
while the women "cooked the brown
rice.
Margarita Mendoza de Sugiyama of

violence, which she said "takes place

the intentional instillation of insecurity in

harassment for one student She told the
gathered people that she had respected
and trusted her Evergreen faculty sponsor
so much that she allowed him to lead her
to a secluded forest. She was shocked,
scared, and hurt when he then asked her
to take her clothes off and pose for his
camera.
"It brings tears to my eyes," she said
with difficulty. "I'm not an isolated case."
The student added, "This is the third
time I have been harassed since I've been
at Evergreen."
Concern over Security's dealings with
assaults on campus was expressed by
more than one participant in the forum.
One student told how she was
esconed home every night by the same
male Security officer, who made remarks
about her kissing him goodnight, and
whose attitude began to make her
extremely uncomfonable and fearful for
her safety. She now waits for students
driving home, and asks them for a ride,
avoiding the dreaded ride with this
particular Security officer.
In the afternoon after the panel
discussion, four workshops were
held: Rape Continuum, Portrayal of
Women in the Media, followed by
discussion groups about rape, one for
men and one for women, plus a
workshop on how to prosecute sexual
offenders, whether they be rapists or
harassers.

Alumni Association needs fresh blood
by Doug Riddels
This year's graduating class will be
the eighteenth to leave Evergreen ' s grey
and hallowed halls, walldng starry-eyed
and innocent into the maws of the freeenterprise State of Nature. Yet, fear not!
There is life after Evergreen, though,
admittedly it is more constricted,
unimaginative and frustrating in most
parts of the allegedly real world. You'll
run circles around those evergray powertrippers; just like you ran circles around
the bureaucrats here at TESC (who
served as an inoculating low dosage of
the grim Evergrey Disease that grips
Western Civilization.)
A piece of Evergreen goes with you
when you leave this campus for, perhaps,
the last time. Not only the piece in your
heart, that well-tempered kernel which
will get you through times of no money
better than money will get you through
times of no Evergreen Spirit (to
paraphrase the Freak Brothers), but
another piece of Evergreen as well, your
trusty and faithful Evergreen Alumni
Association.
The Alumni Association- or AA, as
it is affectionately known by those of
who tire of typing the full nameprovides Evergreen grads with a link to
the Evergreen community, and a link to
one another, as we wend our various
ways through the wasteland of late
monopoly capital. After a couple of years
processing data for the State, the need for
communion with kindred spirits will
become a burning desire. Trust us.
We may dress like students, 'olr dress
like housewives, or in a suit and a tie;
we may change our hairstyle so many
times we don't know what we look like,
but at our hearts we will be... Forever
Green. This bond will remain strong for
years after the harsh memories of grating
seminar sessions following sleepless
nights, of exotic neo-pagan rituals, and of
torrid, tormented liaisons recede into the
mists of nostalgic reminiscence. You
know what I mean.
There' s nothing to sign, nowhere to

upon graduation. Sort of like citizenship
upon birth; born, never asked. And like
your Evergreen education, what you get
out of being an alumnus, is exactly equal
to what you put in (Plus the standard
synergy Bonus). We don't want your
money, we want your participation. The
AA seeks to build and nurture the
community of Evergreen alumnus, by
fostering viable networlcing tools.
This is a young school, and the AA
is also young, and in many ways, still in
its infancy. Each of you can play a
critical role in creating the structures and
tools for mutual aid among Greeners out
there in the real world. The first step is
to participate in our Annual Meeting and
breakfast in CAB 110 during the morning
of Super Saturday (June 3). The breakfast
is at 9:30 (there is a small charge for
this), and the actual meeting is at 10.
The main item at this meeting is the
election of members to the Board of
Directors. At present, it appears there are
at least thirteen openings on the Board. If
you really want to fmd out what the
Alumni Association is all about, then
nominate yourself to be on the Board.
(Send a short letter to the Alumni
Relations office, or just nominate yourself
from the floor at the meeting.) Chances
are very good that you will be elected.
Any alumni in attendance may vote.
Board membership requires, as a .
bare minimum, attending all Board
meetings (one per quarter, plus probably
another three or four extra ones as the
need arises), and serve on one committee
or major activity.
Committees include Fundraising
(including
the
notorious
Gig
Commission),
Communications,
and
Programs. Some major activities Board
members have coordinated recently
Alumni
include
establishing
the
Scholarship program, and the Art Card
Project, and marketing postcards with
images of Evergreen student and faculty
artwork.
The AA is always open to
participation by alums outside of the
Board as well. Like scoring an individual
contract, taking a hot idea and bringing it
to reality through the AA requires faith
and hustle. If you know what you would
like to see the AA doing, just step
forward and make it happen! Evergreen
students are not education consumers;
they are education producers, co-creators.
The same applies to the Alumni
Association.

Evergreen described as
"little public Ivy"
The Evergreen State College is listed
as an up-and-<:oming "little public Ivy"
by Richard Moll, author of The Public
/vys.
Moll cited Evergreen and eight other
small public schools in an article entitled
"Small Public l'IIys: Great EducaJion
Reasonable Prices," in the June IS,
Bottom Line, Personal, a nationwide
general interest newsletter with a
circulation of 250,000.
Evergreen, mentioned fll'St in Moll's
list of "little public Ivys," is cited
because of its excellent faculty, relatively
small classes, an intellectual ambience, a
stimulating student body, a challenging
curriculum and an emphasis on liberal
arts.
Moll refers to Evergreen as "an
innovative, interdisciplinary undergraduate
program that doesn't use grades or
departments. "
Bottom Line interviewed Richard
Moll, who has spent 30 years working in
college admissions at several Ivy League
schools and currently writes and lectures
on college education. In addition to The

creating concern that repercussions might
be directed toward those who had
initiated the occupation. The organizers
were assured that no individuals could be
penalized for the group's actions.
Additionally, a consensus was
reached that no graffiti or destruction of
property would be condoned by the
group. S~urity later acknowledged the
protesters had been acting responsibly and
stated that S~urity had been directed 10
not intervene as long as no property

The group developed a decisionmaking process based on modified
consensus, formed committees for

for Tuesday.

After a day of further preparation,
seventy-five students gathered in the area
Activists and scholars collide over protest
by Philip Bransford
There are two kinds of students at
Evergreen: the vehement activists and the
solitary scholars.
With a desire to create a better world
while working closely with others,
activists involve themselves in the various
group-oriented venues offered to and
created by students at the college. These
"include Gee-voice, the Student Activities
Administration, the Women's Center, the
took place in the student-occupied hall
outside of Martin's office. Within the
framework of the Goo-Voice, the General
Assembly passed a resolution endorsing
the five demands of SISW.
"It's not fun, but
obviously the
students have strong
feelings, and I respect
that. "
Tuesday afternoon Martin released a
memo stating she would review Hong's
fuing and deliver her fmdings on June 7.
She also wrote that no protestors would
be penalized as long as business could
take place in the occupied offices. The
Latest version of SISW' demands:
1. We demand that Ted Hong be rehired and retained until such time as S&A
reorganization is in place.
2. We demand a parallel investigation by the college and a student governance committee
be conducted into Hong's summary firing. The student committee shall be given full
access to all documents regarding this incident.
3. We demand recognition of the student body as the final arbiter of S&A monies, hiring,
firing, and decision making.
4. In solidarity, we demand the rehiring of the 27 facilities positions recently cut.
5. We demand that no participant in this protest be penalized in any way for their actions
in this expression of Evergreen community empowerment.
some students organized in protest of the
fuing of Student Groups Advisor Ted
Hong. Demanding that Hong be rehired
and seeking student control of S&A
funds and student funded positions, the
protesters occupied the office of Vice
President for Student Affairs, Gail
Martin.
"There is no process."
Friday:
After hearing of Ted Hong's 2:45 pm
firing by Director of Student Activities,
Kathy Ybarra, for his "inability to work
cooperatively and successfully as a
Student Activities Administrative team
member," two students began organizing
a sit-in at Ybarra's office. Since she had
gone home, the students moved the sit-in
to Gail Martin's office. The students
showed support for Hong by waiting in
Martin's outer office (despite her request
that they leave) as she met with Hong.
Dean of Student Development (and
Ybarra's supervisor) Stone Thomas, came
to address student concerns about Hong's
firing. When asked to outline a method
for appealing Hong's firing, Thomas
responded "There is no process." He
further stated he would maintain a
dialogue with all students, addressing
their concerns over the tennination.
"Ninety-nine percent
of my job has been
tremendous. "
At6:15 pm, after Martin and Thomas
departed without satisfactorily addressing
the protestors' concerns, Hong returned to"
address the twenty-five students still
occupying the outer office. He announced
plans to lay the groundwork for legal
recourse and talked about his worle.
"Ninety-nine percent of my job has
been tremendous, and to throw it all
away on what I perceive as a personality
conflict doesn't seem fair to me," said
Hong. He later added that some of that
conflict may have been due to his "overadvocating" student positions, stating,
"It's a contradiction that I'm controlled
by the administration and paid by student
money."
Continuing their support, students
occupied the office througi} the night.
Over the w~kend:
Studen~, In Support of Workers
(SISW) occupied S&A offices and issued
a list of demands. Illegal acts such as
graffiti threatened to split the group by
outside of Martin's office. The meeting
began with a satirical folk: song written
by a student and moved to a discussion
with a lawyer over the legal aspects of
arrest. The students also ratified a
proposal not 10 negotiate until demands
one (that Hong be re-hired) and five (that
no repercussions be directed IOward
protesters) were mel. During the night
students began the pre-planned blockade
of the S&A offices.
When asked to comment about the
sit-in, Martin answered "It's not fun, but
obviously the students have strong
feelings and I respect that I would hope
student passions could be re-channeled
into student governance and issues of
student control."
Recognizing student concerns over
possible arrests, Keith Eisner (from
Infonnation Services) stated, "The last
thing we want is a physical confrontation,
it's against everything we believe in."
"Our power, our voiceour money, our choice!"
The protesters awoke Tuesday
prepared for their rally. Amid student
chants of "Our power, our voice--our
money, our choice," Ybarra stated she
stood by her decision and that Hong had
been fired for "unsatisfactory performance
in certain aspects of his job description."
After Ybarra's public statement
student protestors made public their
demands. Afterward, the protesting
students held a rally in Red Square at
which several students and Ted Hong
spoke. The rally was attended by 200

students did not feel Martin addressed
their concerns and rej~ted the memo.
On Wednesday the protestors spent
the morning doing outreach with students,
the union, and staff, ending with a noon
rally in Red Square. Hong related his
wish to override the legal restrictions
regarding disclosure of personnel flles to
allow for a more complete investigation.
The Wednesday afternoon Student
Governance General Assembly meeting
The students received a second memo
from Martin, in which she stated, "The
administration cannot promise that
participants in this protest will not be
penalized in any way if access to the
Student Activities Administration office
continues to be blocked Would you
please r~onsider this action so your
protest will maintain its positive

Late Wednesday night SISW reached
consensus on the response to Martin's
memo. They reiterated their demand "that
Ted Hong be reinstated and retained until
such time as S&A reorganization is in
place," and added that "student occupied
offices would be opened for bcsiness
when that demand was met."
Thursday, 1:00 am:
SISW reached consensus on a
proposal to occupy both President
Olander's office and Gail Martin's inner
office. In neither case is the intent to
disrupt office business, but rather 10 make
SISW presence even more apparent.

Activists have also been known 10 collect
in new groups from time 10 time, as with
last year's Mister Roger's Revolutionary
Neighborhood (MRRN). From these
institutions, activists attempt to restructure
the world so it corresponds to theiI:
ideals. They give speeches, show films,
circulate petitions, hang posters, and
organize protests.
During the events generated by
activists, the scholars quietly go about
their tasks. While they might agree with
the activists philosophically, and while
they may think deeply about the activists'
activities, scholars tend not to get
involved. Instead of organizing or
Iprotesti'ng, they study. Instead of making
speeches on Red Square about the

make comments in quiet comers at

to die down due to a lack of hwnan
resources and interest.
Such a scenario may be playing itself
out now with the protest over Ted
Hong's firing--but there exists an
interesting twist suggesting this issue may
have tapped deeper concerns of students
than a majority of issues over the years.
Unlike past protests, where activists seem
to (\xude more interest in the issues than
the student body at large (as in MRRN's
. campaign for boycotting the Urban Onion
last year), the current student protest over
Hong's termination holds interest for both
scholars and activists.
To the extent common ground can
be discovered, the current occupation of
Gail Martin's office can be considered a
success--regardless of whether Hong is
rehired or not. Sadly, the fonn of
consolidation happening between scholars
and activists, though it might have
existed 48 hours ago, does not seem 10
be happening right now. Generally
speaking, the reason for this lack may be
because there has been no extensive
explanation as to why Hong was fIred.
From the activist perspective, the
frring seems simply an injustice. Ybarra's
memo regarding Hong's termination sent
last Friday apparently provides enough
evidence for the occupiers to draw this
conclusion. The memo tells Hong he was
fIred because of his "inability 10 work
cooperatively and successfully as a
Student Activities Administrative team
member." Activists might translate this
statement in two ways: Hong did not
work well with the other S&A members,
or Hong did not work well in relation to
the adm inistration and its interests.
In either case, Ybarra's standards
served as the criterion for Hong's
perfonnance. Words like "cooperation,"
"success," and "as a team member," hinge
on an administrator's interpretation.
According to activists, this is a bad state
of affairs.
More importantly, the current
occupation seems rooted in the on-going
dilemma of Evelgreen's large population
of students having interest in participarory
democracy yet not having an effective
student government through which they
may comport. Like a Rubic's cube which
no one seems capable of solving, the
problem of student governance at
Evergreen
has passed from
one
"generation" of students to the next. For
the last three years, attempts at solving
this puzzle have _ended in failure: Gail
Martin's proposal in 1987 could not get
off the ground, three proposals written in
1988--including one by fonner S&A
Board Coordinaror James Martin--did not
come to be.
In one year, the Geo-voice seems to
have done more 10 alleviate this dilemma
than anything in the last three, if for nf)
other reasons than it ~eived ratification
from the student body and a -regular,
albeit small, group of people appearing at
its meetings. While it might not described
as successful, the Gee-voice is a start.
In a r~ent memo, Hong seems 10
have r~ognized this start. Specifically,
Hong's memo sent May 25 to Ybarra and
students involved in the Gee-voice
addresses the need 10 resolve a conflict
growing between S&A and the Geovoice. Using a tone critical of the
problem yet supportive of the budding
student government, Hong writes:
"What I sense, though, is an
"us vs. them" attitude on both sides that
is not conducive 10 the orderly
establishment of student govenunent at
Evergreen. The board of Trustees, the
Administration, the S&A Board and the
students voting on student governance
earlier this year have all indicated a clear
interest in such a governme.nt"
As
a
liaison
between
the
administration and the S&A Board, his
sympathetic position to the Geo-voice
seems exactly what is needed, yet now
he is out of a job. As one protester put
it in Tuesday's Post-Intelligencer as far
as the activists are concerned this was the
straw that broke the camel's back.
All of this adds up to an exciting
protest: a sit-in with sleeping bags,
pillows, popcorn, pizza. late-night strategy
meetings, afternoon rallies, and, of
course, media coverage. But the question
is how long will the occupation last?
Will anything meaningful come of it?
The answers to these questions will
detennine the future of the occupation. In
general, these answers point 10 greater
involvement on the part of the quiet
scholars. But as summer approaches and
people begin 10 think of less frustrating
pursuits than grappling with the
administration, this solution seems
unlikely.
Even scholars unfazed by the coming
summer face a dilemma: there has been
no clear and comprehensive explanation
given by the administration as to why
Hong was fued. Given that the chief
demand of the occupiers concerns Hong's
rehiring, the scholars may be reluctant 10
join in the occupation until the
administration
provides
such
an
explanation. But, according 10 Keith
Eisner, an administration spokesperson,
no such explanation will be given
because administrative precedent holds
that the reasons for the fuing must
remain private. Beyond that, Washing ron
Administrative Code will not allow such
disclosures.
What the administration doesn't
seem to understand is that this fuing is
unprecedented; Hong is not like most
employees of the college. His job puts
him in closer contact with students than
most members of the administration
experience. In addition, many of the
occupiers argue Hong's fuing has little 10
do with his perfonnance as Student
Activities Coordinator and more 10 do
with his close alignment with student
desires to fonn a governance structure
with enough power 10 confront the
administration when appropriate.
If this is so, it behooves the
administration to break precedent and
provide Evergreen with a more thorough
explanation than contained in Ybarra's
memo. From an administrative standpoint
this would be a smart move for several
reasons. First, if Hong was such an awful
character 10 work with, a full description
of his awfulness would discredit
arguments voiced by the occupiers, hence
speeding the evacuation of Martin's
office. Second, with the ability 10
legitimize their action against Hong, the
administration would not look as bad on
television with pictures of protesting
Greeners on Evergreen's Red Square
appear after images of protesting students
on Beijing's Red Square.
On the other hand, if Ybarra's
explanation rings of the political
maneuvers voiced by the occupiers, less
active students on campus may have
more impetus for joining the occupation.
This, in the long run, would also be in
the administration's interest in that a
better organized student governance may
result from the consolidation that would
occur after such a disclosure. With such
a student governance in existence, student
occupations of administrative offices will
become less likely as more formal
methods of resolving conflicts are
established.
Practically speaking, there is a very
low probability of Ybarra making a more
extensive explanation given the clarity of
state law on this subject--but this doesn't
mean it won't happen. On Wednesday
afternoon, Hong announced 10 a group of
students outside Martin's offlce that he
would be willing to sign a wavier
nullifying his right to privacy such that
the administration would not be held
liable for disclosing the reasons for his
dismissal in more detail. The sooner
Hong signs this wavier, the better off
Evergreen will be as a community.

HEC Board, TESC write mission statement
The college administration and the
Higher Education Coordinating (HEC)
Board have been working to finalize
Evergreen's role and mission statement
for the last year. The Board unanimously
approved this statement in March.
President Joe Olander says this mission
and goals statement eliminates the
possibility of Evergreen turning into
"Southwest Washingtoo State University."
PURPOSE
The role of the institution is to
provide high quality undergraduate
education to appropriately prepared
students by offering a unique curriculum
of liberal arts and sciences characterized
by interdisciplinary studies. this is done
through close faculty-student contact at
all levels of the curriculum, and
collaborative teaching and learning
activities. The institution also provides
selected master's level degree programs
of statewide significance based on the
College's special resources and has two
distinct public-service responsibilities:
service to state government, and statewide
efforts to improve the quality of public
education.
While Evergreen seeks to maintain
the basic strengths of all its programs,
several are identified as deserving special
emphasis.
These programs
are:
Collaborative Interdisciplinary Approach
to Learning and Teaching; Undergraduate
Liberal Arts Education; and Public
Service.
Evergreen's fundamental mission is
to assist students in learning how to learn
and how to continue developing their
skills in a world of increasing diversity,
interdependence, and moral complexity.
The highest priority is placed on the
quality of undergraduate instruction.
Evergreen approaches that task with
the tools of a traditional college: the
disciplines of the humanities, arts, the
natural sciences and the social sciences.
However,
those disciplines
are
transformed at Evergreen into teaching
and learning experiences characterized by:
*interdisciplinary learning
communities which immerse students in
complexity and in diversity of
perspectives,
and
which
foster
development of the skills of cooperation,
communication, and integration;
*internships and applied projects
which bridge theory and practice;
*small classes and narrative grading
which require, even at the beginning
level, active involvement of students;
*independent study options and self·
evaluations
where
students
take
responsibility for their own learning; and
*a campus environment which
celebrates diversity as a resource for
learning.
Marine facility "home base" for Evergreen students
by Eric UIZ
The Coastal Washington Marine
Research Center of Westport,
Washington, incorporated as a private,
non-profit organization recently. The
facility will act as a "home base" from
which Evergreen and Gray's Harbor
Community College students can perform
self-originated, ecology, marine biology,
natural history and other research
projects. Founded by Westport residents
Bill and Eva Stute and John Dahlstrom,
the corporation's goal is to locate a
permanent,
self-supporting
marine
research facility on the Washington
coastline.The center will be located ar
Westport, and will be home to an
interpretive center and a branch of the
Timberland Regional Library System.
The project, currently applying for its
501(C)3 tax-exempt status, has received
lead-agency support from the Gray's
Harbor Regional Planning Commission
and interest from Evergreen faculty
members, students and citizens who feel
that our valuable coastal region can
provide many research .and nondestructive livelihood opportunities.
"The way in which this project has
gotten going is really something,"
remarked Stute, "we decided it was really
time to start getting the word out about
our plans."
The Center has recruited a small
group of students to publish a quarterly
newsletter of the Center's progress and to
establish a community network of support
through a membership drive.
When this project facility is opened
in the Spring of 1991 it expects' to
receive operating funds from a
combination of private grants and
membership revenues. This arrangement
will give Coastal Washington Research
Center students greater independence in
creating their projects.
Coastal Washington Marine Research
Center is actively seeking help in 11
variety of areas., Please contact us for
more information.
Membership
information is also available on the
Evergreen campus from Eric UIZ at 8663510 or in the Gray's Harbor area from
Bill Stute at 268-9428.
Transition follows a pattern:
Ending... distress ... new beginning
by Wendy Freeman, Career Development
When asked by the caterpillar, "Who
are you?" Alice in Wonderland said it the
best, "1-1 hardly know, Sir, just at
present," Alice replied rather shyly, "at
least 1 know who 1 was when 1 got up
this morning, but I think I must have
changed several times since then."
Being a fourth year student, fmishing
my last quarter, getting ready to leave
Evergreen I know 1 am changing at least
two or three times each day. I can really
sympathize with Alice. In the module I'm
taking on Tuesday . Ilights we have been
discussing transitions. William Bridges in
his book Transitions, outlines what 1
think a lot of us are experiencing.
He states, "that most of the people
in his workshops discovered that
transition followed a certain pattern: 1) an
ending, followed by 2) a period of
confusion and distress, leading to 3) a
new beginning. We have to let go of the
old thing before we can pick up the new
• not just outwardly, but inwardly, where
we keep our cOimections to the people
and places that act as definitions of who
we are."
He goes on to say, "The ending of
childhood is one p~ of the shift from
life's morning (or dependency) to life's
noon (or independence). A second part
of that shift involves establishing a
separate identity, distinct from that at so
and so's child. In traditional societies the
new identity was partly prescribed by the
person's status and clan and partly
discovered in the course of the rite of
passage, when some gaurdian spirit or
ancestor or guru gave the person a new
name and a new sense of destiny. With
us the old prescriptions have largely
broken down, and we have fallen back on
the idea that an identity is assembled
during youth."
I found Bridge's transition checklist
helpful. He suggests: "I)Take your time.
2) Arrange tremporary sttucture. 3) Don't
act for the sake of acting. 4) Recognize
why you are uncomfortable. 5) Take care
of yourself in litte ways. 6) Explore the
other side of the change. 7) Get someone
to talk to. 8) Find out what is waiting in
the wings of your life. 9) Use this
transition as the impetus to a new kind of
learning. 10) realize that transition has a
characteristic shape - Things end, there is
a time of fertile emptiness, and then
things begin anew."

The following guidelines have been
excerpted and condensed from a series of
interoffice memos intercepted by an
anonymous source. The guidelines are
entitled
The
Student/Security
Empowerment Guidelines:
·All on-campus students and full time
students living off-campus must be
required to possess, in good working
order, at least one state·registered
handgun or similar weapon.
·All students with registered fuearms
are required to wear said fuearms on
their person at all times with the
exception of private dwellings and
specified areas on campus.
·Once per week, all students with
registered flrearms are required to attend
self-defense seminars, involving both
unarmed and armed defense, weapon care
and maintenance and basic police
psychological tactics.
·Once per month, all students with
registered fuearms will be required to
complete a minimum competency rating
at an on-campus, certifled fuing range.
·Campus security will be provided
with body armor and an armored vehicle
to assist in armed student conflicts and to
facilitate rapid mobilization. The vehicle
will contain shielded, paramilitary
weaponry.
Failure to adhere to these guidelines
without a proper and approved petition
filed with the Student Defense Board will
qualify as a Class IV Disobedience and
can result in immediate expulsion from
the campus.
Note that all Federal Regulations for
privately owned fuearms will apply on
campus, such as regulations concerning
concealed and automatic weapons, assault
with a deadly weapon, manslaughter and
murder. These guidelines exist solely to
facilitate maximum student self-defense
capabilities during armed conflicts.

Letters
TESC Student Art Gallery never complete
Editor shows all:
Security's right to immediate response
reveals bias against student activists
The two articles printed on page nine
in the May 18 cn are the topic of my
discussion. The first article was written
by a group of students; "activists
persecuted by security." This article was
turned in on the previous Friday to the
CPJ office.
The editor, Suzette Williams, took
advantage of this early opportunity and
took
it
into
her power
and
"responsibility" to provide a rebuttal
against these same students. That article
was placed directly beneath the students
article. Her article's intention was to
provide the two sides of the issue.
The message she is giving to cn
readers is not respectful of the students
and the activists in particular. By printing
Security's side she is revealing herself.
The article reeks of anti-student, antiactivist; anti-Nevada Test Site protestors
and thus student activities, and antiStudents Against Apartheid (SAA).
E~. ·.
'·,·Rq
Everything and everyone is inherently
political. Though it is impossible for
Williams not to be political, for her not
to take a side, a student paper has a
responsibility- it should be for th ~
students!
There are subtleties that tell whe'"e
that particular person, paper, or
organization is coming from, one can not
hide this and one should be honest and
up front where they are coming from .
SeCurity can do their own rebuttal in
the following week as all us students
have to do. She took security's side, that
is apparent The essence of her primary
interest was to directly and explicitly
support security and not, as an editor of
a stud'~nt paper, support those same
students.
The week before last in another
article ~'!c w'ity ' s view of the situation
tJu;t nighi was expressed. Why was the
Editor so worried that security's view
would not be expressed? My experience
is that the students voice is often not
hf.'.ard and more often not respected.
Williams is effectively overkilling
security's view and undermining the
students view. This is literally evident.
The week before security's view was
overkilled and the following week
Williams' article literally undermined the
student activists' article.
I am deeply saddened that this
undermining happens to students in their
own paper.
Greg Free
Security was asked for a rebuttal
because the article written by the activists
was potentially libelous. Because of the
nature of their accusations rhe article
could not have been printed without a
rebuttal. The day the article was
submitted is irrelevant; if Security could
nor have been contacted on time, the
article would have been held and printed
once a state~nr could be obtained from
Security. -Editor.
~
The May 18 cn article entitled
"Security refutes activists' claims" has
been cause for great heartache for me.
lt is tragic that Suzette Williams,
CPJ editor, has taken it upon herself to
speak for TESC security, under the
impression that what security says is the
truth, and what fellow students say must
be inaccurate. Once again the students
lose.
Williams'
article
accuses
Rawl/Douglas/Ables/Bye
of
being
"inaccurate," and then outright lies and
says "they got caught [doing graffItil."
This is not only inaccurate, it is an
outright lie. None of these people that
Williams and chief Russell implicate have
been caught doing graffiti.
The disgusting and disgraceful thing
about Williams' article is that it portrays
Laurie Rawl as "watching too much
television or something," infers that
Rawl/Douglas/Ables/Bye are criminals,
and if that isn't enough, the anicle
contains Laurie Rawl's address, which is
now allover Olympia and surrounding
cities in the disgraceful context of
slander.

space was provided.
The controversies could have been
avoided if the SAG was poSitioned to
exhibit work considered disturbing. Given
its location in a public hall way it will
be impossible to run the gallery in an
open and fair manner. A responsibility to
the public's view needs to be practiced to
keep
it
non-confrontational.
This
responsibility means silencing voices that
might otherwise speak out and teach our
community. What is needed is a Gallery
where these voices communicate, not a
hallway where the only art to be seen is
that deemed acceptable and pleasant
Please don't let the momentum run
out over the summer. Come back next
fall and demand a real Student Art
Gallery to complete your campus.

when they walked down the hall. Others
felt humanity should see the pictures and
learn what goes on in our world.
Cheryl Henderson-Peters, coordinator
of student leadership for Services &
Activities at the time, worked out a
compromise. A partition was placed in
front of the display case, blocking it from
view. A couple of hours later it was
anonymously removed. Peters had it
replaced and again it was removed. This
continued until the photos were taken
down at the end of the two week exhibit
period.
As a result of the controversy an
articulation of SAG policies and
procedures was requested by the
administration. The response given by
Carol Rose Dean, acting coordinator of
SAG, restricted the operation of the SAG
because of its location as a public space.
This February the same controversy
arose over Aaron Joshua Bauch-Green's
work entitled "The Onanist". The an was

spaces
available
to the general
community. 'In 1986 the cases that make
up the current display area were installed
with the understanding that they would be
a temporary display until a space could
be found for an actual Student Art
Gallery. After this the community's
enthusiasm for a new gallery died down ..
The cries for a permanent space were lost
in the year's school work. The
inadequacies of the current display area
and the idea of a "Promised Gallery"
have only resurfaced in light of recent
controversies.
.
In 1987 EPIC and SAG co-sponsored
a graphic photographic display in the 1st
Floor CAB cases depicting the atrocities
of the EI Salvadorian death squads. Many
people were upset Some argued the
display should not have been placed in a
public space. They argued people should
have the option of viewing them instead
of being "slapped in the face with them"

.
We do not have, and never have had,
a complete Student Art Gallery (SAG) on
this campus.
The cases in the first floor of the
CAB building have not always been the
SAG. The SAG was originally in the
library Fourth Floor Gallery, but as the
college developed more non· student
shows were exhibited. The Fourth Floor
Gallary is now listed as a Washington
SUte Gallery.
In 1973 the library Second Flodr
Gallery was esUbIished as additional
space for student work to be displayed on
campus. The student art wasn't enough to
keep continuous shows going, so the
gallery was gradually absorbed by nonstudent exhibits. Occasionally work is
organized by a student, or group of
students, enrolled in an art program at
Evergreen to be exhibited. These shows
take priority over non-academic work, but
are few and far between.
Because priority was given to

Bootleg is a play by Bryan Willis,
Evergreen alumni and playwright, set
during prohibition right here at Cooper
Point.
Willis researched the history of
Cooper Point for months before
embarking on his script, poring over old
McCleary newspapers and talking to
relatives who remembered the 1920's.
The talented cast of Bootleg promise
to
deliver
a
believable,
radiant
oerfonnance.
- a cozy drama/rOmance With an excellent .
sense of being in the 1920's.
Willis brought Olympia Woofer the
Psychic Dog last spring, and has since
been in New York, where Bootleg was
produced off Broadway.
The play begins June 15, running
June 16, 17, 22, 23, 24 at 8 pm and June
18 and 25 at 2 pm at the Capitol
Playhouse '24. Tickets are $6 general, $5
