for help if they needn't fear legal
repercussions. LSD and mushroom freakouts are kept in strict confidence, and the
staff has been specifically trained to deal
with these types of crises. And since
Housing staff members, including Student
Managers, are forbidden to drink alcohol
coUege life. "Evergreen is a more intense
adjustment than other colleges. It's not
only college but a different college.
Adjustment takes 3-6 months, and that's
if you're going to make it at all. Alcohol
adds to the stress-- maybe not at the
moment But over time ...it has to add to
the stress.';
Martin distinguishes between social
drinking, where the drinker is in control,
and excessive alcohol use, where the
alcohol takes charge instead.
She thinks personal issues often bring
people to drink and to take drugs. She
specified three: identity confusion,
unresolved family issues, and fear of the
future-- questions students ask such as,
"Will I be able to support myself as an
adult? Or will I flounder and fail?"
Jeannie Chandler's views about why
students abuse drugs and alcohol run in
a similar vein. She is particularly
concerned about the vulnerability she sees
in male students aged 18-20, because
they become addicted to alcohol so much
faster than older men. And since this
society has no set "rites of passage" for
young men, continued Chandler, alcohol
and drug use becomes a substitute.
As for the basic underlying reason
for drug and alcohol abuse, Chandler
says, .. A way to sum it up a is
alienation. "
There is the inborn propensity
towards alcoholism and drug addiction,
which she also names as a major factor.
Just about everyone views education
as prevention and treatment as a cure
once alcohol and drug abuse have
occurred. Larry Savage recounted a story
about a student who was charged with
malicious mischief in the dorms. He and
his friend were on drugs and alcohol at
the time of the incident. The student
called his father. His father called
Housing and "got no straight answers. He
called the Administration and got no
straight answers.
"Then he called Security and got
some straight answers."
Once the father was told how bad
his son's condition was, he got his son
into drug treatment. The father later
thanked Security and for effectively
saving his son's life, according to
Sergeant Savage. So he thinks that being
public about the prevalence of drug and
alcohol abuse on campus will help get
students into the treatment they need.
May 18, 1989
Smith also refers to the use of LSD
as extremely destructive drug. "I've seen
so many people' just ruined by LSD. It
can rob a person of leading a healthy
life," Smith said. "I wanl to see it
SlOpped. but I don't know how."
The student perspective depends on
which studnet you ask. One student said
dissapointedly; "I haven'1 seen nearly as
many drugs as I expected."
Faculty member Steve Davis told the
CPJ how his eyes were opened to the
drug and alcohol habits of students.
Volume 19 Issue 25
"People seem really well-behaved on
campus, but when I walk through
Housing, I see a partying environment.
That pleases me in some ways."
Burt Guttman, a professor who
teaches a core program, told the CPJ that
he had not seen any of his students
attend class under the influence of drugs,
but did say that his program has
attendence problems. Guttman expressed
no concern that drugs or alcohol could be
a cause for this.

Chandler puts it
Student Managers are supposed to

part of Housing's efforts at enforcement.

HEC Board stirs controversy
by Tedd Kelleher and Alex Kosteln'lk
The Institutional assessment mandated
by the Master Plan has embroiled Evergreen
in a controversy over who will define what
It means to be educated.
Debate over the Master Plan
re-erupted last Thursday morning when The
Human Condition Program was administered
the Myers-Briggs Indicator by Director of
Research and Planning Steve Hunter. The
personality Indicator was to be used as a
possible response to the Higher Education
Coordinating (HEC) Board's call for
assessment under direction of the Master
Plan.
After forty-five minutes of debate, a
third of The Human Condition refused to
take the test on the grounds that the way
the test Is being used Is Incompatible with
their educational beliefs. The Myers Briggs
Persondllty Indicator, consisting of 126
multiple choice questions, divides people
Into sixteen dlf1erent personality types.

Effective governance encourages participation
by Suzette Williwns and Darrel W. Riley
This year CPJ editorials have
consistently asked what the purpose of
student governance is at Evergreen. The
wnount of money spent on the search for
a formal student governance structure is
mind-boggling, especially considering we
are no closer to having a defmitive
formalized governance structure than at
the beginning of the year.
We are now in the final weeks of the
school year and yet another governance
structure has been proposed. However, it
fails to address the fundamental question:
what is the purpose of governance?
Without answering that fundamental
question Evergreen students will continue
to ask themselves, "Why should I give up
my study time to do governance?"
The obvious functions student
governance should provide are already
being served. For exwnple, the allocation
of student funds is arguably the most
important
service
of a
student
goverrunent. An organization without the
ability to authorize money is limited in
their power. At Evergreen money is
allocated by the Services and Activities
Fee Review (S & A) Board. If the
current dearth of applicants and
partie ipants in the Board is any indication
the majority of students don't much care
what happens with their money or which
groups are funded, therefore it is hard to
see what use creating another governance
structure would serve.
Student governance should provide
information about college governance. At
Evergreen college governance means
Disappearing Task Forces, the President's
Advisory Board, and the S & A Board.
Providing students with the information
about these organizations is the
responsibility
of
the
Student
Communication Center.
Some student governments provide a
place to petition for the retention of
faculty members that are particularly
talented. The corollary at Evergreen is the
student's facully evaluation.
Student government often provides a
united voice to outsiders. At Evergreen
"students say .... " means the person has
talked to a few students and decided they
represent Evergreen.
However, the lack of a united student
body is part of Evergreen's educational
philosophy of diversity.
At some point it might be important
to present a united front (for instance, to
be able to have representatives to
organizations such as the Washington
Student Lobby) but at this point unity
challenges one of the fundamental
assumptions of the Evergreen educational
philosophy.
At the beginning of the year student
goverrunents usually create an agenda for
students to focus on for the rest of the
year. Students, for instance, may want to
pressure the school administration into
divesting their South African holdings.
Students will choose activities which will
highlight the issue and focus attention in
a concerted way.
At Evergreen the student and
campus agenda is controlled by a few
activist students: WashPIRG, EPIC, or
CPJ writers; faculty (such as Jerry Fresia
or the
and the Master Plan);
Administration (for instance, Tribute to
Japan.)
Issues and ideas explode suddenly,
and just as suddenly vanish. There is
seldom a concerted student body-wide
effort to accomplish anything, nor a
means for doing so. A quick glance
through past CPl' swill confmn this.
_~ fter watching the efforts to define
student governance throughout the year,
we wonder at the need for it. Evergrecn
has survived quite well for many years
without a formalized student government.
The participatory, community-wide
student
governance
structure
was
dcliberate: Evergreen's founders did not
want to enttust power to a static group of
participants.
The fundamelotal question should not
be what kind of governance structure
students need. The question should be
what kinds of power students now lack

that should be formally addressed.
Much of the seeming lack of student
power comes from the dearth of student
participation in present governance
structures. Creating new structures means
diluting the power students have even
further.
The most effective use of the
governance resources would be to
encourage people to participate in the
forms of governance now available.
The over-riding concern we have
with student governance is the lack of a
consistent year-long agenda. In the past
year the Master Plan has passed,
Evergreen has lost its Vancouver Branch,
Curriculum Planning for 1990 occurred
without much student feedback, and the
Evergreen budget has been seriously
slashed by the Washington Legislature.
Evergreen students have not had much
impact on any of these decisions. Do
Evergreeners really want to unite in their
decision-making? If not, what is the
purpose of governance?
CPJ publishes closet writing
by Darrel W. Riley
Stephen King once called it 'that
dirty dark thing that you do by yourself
in a closet.' Writing is what ihe CPJ is
about. Writing that is read by others.
Writing that makes a point in a clear and
succinct way. If it's not writing with a
focus , if a writer isn't willing to labor
over his/her writing to make it come
alive to the reader, then it shouldn't be
published.
The CPJ editors spend a lot of time
on the stories which go into the paper
because we love writing. We follow the
same writing guidelines that every
magazine, newspaper, and journal in the
world follows. If you want to contribute
to the CPJ there are a number of easy
things to look for in your writing which
will keep the editorial wolves at bay.
One of the easiest points is selfevident. Everyone probably knows what
it is. If you say something you think is
"self-evident" it will come out of the
story. A story submitted with the two
sentences at the beginning of this
paragraph would find those sentences
removed. Why? That should be selfevident.
Another writing gotcha are "speech
fIllers." Things like, 'you know', 'as
regards to', 'well', 'so', and so on. These
are words which add to the rhythm of

casual speech but cause the reader to
stumble. One of the flfSt rules of public
speaking is to speak without thc fillers.
Writing should be the swne way.
If you know the rules of grammar
and style follow them. If you break them,
break them for good reason.
Don't worry about people editing out
your "style". Every person's writing is
unique and style is an integral part of
their topic and expression. I can't think
of writers whose style differs more than
newspaper writers, but the common
element in their writing is that they get
to the point quickly. As long as you get
to the point your "style" will remain
intact.
An editor's job is to allow the
expression of as m!IDy viewpoints as
possible. Not editing is a lUXury afforded
only to those without material or
viewpoints to express. In spite of, or
maybe because of our public exhortations
for material the CPJ gets a lot of
material and we publish most of iL That
is what 'diversity' is all about.
Writing means exposing yourself. It
takes that 'dark little thing' out of the
closet and brings it into the light.

the CPJ works the way it does talk to
someone who works here. We'll be
happy to explain it to you.

- - - - - - - -- - A fifteen year old Florida girl has
had her request for an abortion delayed
by Supreme Court Justice Anthony M.
Kennedy. Florida's Supreme Court had
given permission for the abortion to
proceed when Justice Kennedy ruled.
.
The dispute arose over a new state
law . in Flo~~ requiring teenagers to
receive pernusslOn from their parents or
a state judge before having an abortion.
The Supreme Court will decide today on
whetJ.1er to i.ssue a long-term stay on the
abortion while the new law is examined.
If a long-term stay is issued the girl
who is twelve weeks pregnant, may not
be able to have an abortion when the
decision is reached.
Justice Kennedy's decision does not
necessaairly reflect his or the Court's
viewpoint toward the upcoming decision
on the abortion issue. However since
Kennedy is allowing an argument to be
presented by a lawyer appointed to
represent the fetus, Pro-choice advocates
have accused him of being an "activist"
judge.
Lynda Barry, Evergreen Alumni, is
one of the recipients of the 1989
Governor's Writers Awards. The winners
which also include Evergreen faculty
member Stephanie Coontz, were selected
by a five member jury, who reviewed
more than 250 books written by
Washington writers in 1988. Governor
Booth Gardner will present the awards at
a ceremony held on May 19 at 7 pm in
the Capitol Rotunda. The award
ceremony is part of a week long
c~lebration held ~y the Washington State
Library to recogruze Washington authors.
The S&A board, in alloCating student
fees in a manner that is fiscally
responsible and which enhances the
diversity of Evergreen, has designated
that 1/3 of S&A Productions (Acct.

events relating to First Peoples
organizations (MeCHA, APIC, Indian
Center, Urnoja, and Women of Color),
and. an additional 1/3 be similarly
dCSlgnated for other Affumative Action
groups (Students With Challenges,
LlGRC, Women's Center, and Maarava.)
The S&A Board has also allocated
$7500 for a Governance Discretionary
budget with 1/3 to be used to promote
gove~c.e servjc~ to the F~ Peoples
Coalll1on. It is understood by both the
S&A Board and student governance that
this discretionary fund not be used for

monies for an additional ISO students
over the next two y\!:us.
The budget proposed by the ccllege
has gone through revisions by both the
Governor's office and the Legislature,
with
departmental allocations
and
cutbacks included in the final document.
The Operating Budget, which includes
the current level of funding for the
school, has received an 18.8% increase
over the last biennial allocation. This
increase includes an expansion of
Evergreen's current FfE (full-time
equivalent), enrollment The current
eruollment of 2900 will be increased by
150 students over the next two years. 100
FTE's will be added next year and 50
the following year. The fmal level of full

"The funding will enable us to hire
more faculty and improve library
resources and equipment", says Jennifer

commitment to quality education during
this session.
The new budget consists of: $43.9
million to maintain the ERL (Essential
Requirement Level) of services; $3.1
million for Policy Initiatives of growth

While the Le6";~1
_ures
to
the Operating Budget were generally
positive, the Capital Budget, which covers
new buildings and college improvement,
was cut drastically by the Legislature.
The monies will only allow for general
campus upkeep.
The breakdown is as follows: Code
Compliance,
$819,000
Asbestos
$60,000; Minor Worles,
Removal,
$178,720; Failed Systems, 544,070;
Emergency Repairs, 81,000; and Small
Repairs and Improvements, 162,000. The
Capital Budget is $1,844,790, and the
college's request for $1.6 million in
deferred maintenance monies was not
included. As a result, the college will no
longer have
monies to support an
estimated 15 positions in the campus
facilities department. (see related story by
Suzette Williams.)
"I deeply regret losing any staff
member," says President Joe Olander,
"especially those of the Caliber that we
have at Evergreen. The Administtation is
committed to doing whatever possible to
relocate these people and ease their
transitions. "
The college began the budget
process by submitting their budget
proposal, $55,551,041 to Governor Booth
Gardner's office, who in turn made
adjustments, before sending the document
down the line' to the Legislature. The
House proposed $48,719,000 for the total
allotment and the Senate suggested
$49,820,000 before coming to an
agreement on the fmal expenditures. The
fmal budget given back to the college
totaled $48,869,935.

Pending layoffs have personal effect
by Suzeue Williams
Two weeks ago Friday, custodial
worker Robert Eskew found out his wife
was pregnant; that Wednesday he found
out about the layoffs; last Friday he
discovered his wife had an unpaid student
loan of $3,000 which he is partially
responsible for; and, his babysitter
recently quit.
"The day I told her [my wife] that I
might be getting laid off she just kind of
freaked because she doesn't know what's
going to happen. We've been getting into
fights just about every day because every
little thing will set it off."
Eskew is one of the 28 people who
will be 'affected by cuts in Evergreen's
Capital Budget. With a length of service
of three months, he is the second-newest
person in the facilities department
He will probably lose his job to an
employee of greater seniority in the
"riffing" process, in which state
employees who are laid off can take back
their old jobs from employees with
shorter length of service.
Eskew exp1cins that those employees
who are laid off and choose to use the
riffir,g process will most likely transfer
into Facllitil~;: and bump him out of a
job.
"We're the lowest on the pole, so we
don' t have a decision to make, our fate
and our jobs and our families are decided
on other peoples decisions, on what they
make up their minds to do.
"It's kind of like a big game. We're
the liuIe guy, see? So in football if
you 're the liuIe guy sometimes you get
stuck on the bottom of the pile and
you've got these big guys on top of you
and you have to wait for them to get up
before you can get up. You can't just tell
them 'get up' 'cause you have to wait.
So wc're waiting for these people to
decide on what we're going to do.
"But in football, once in a while, the
little guy gets to jump on top of the pile
and bend one of these guys' fmgers and
say, ' next time GET UP!' But see, in
this situation, we never get to jump on
top of the pile cause we're always on the
bottom . And when we're about to get off
the top, somebody else comes and jumps
back on. We never get to get on top."
Eskew worked [or eight years as a
machinist in a marine propellor shop in
Florida. He moved to Washington from
Bradenton, Florida last May with his new
wife and eighteen month old son, J~hua.
HiF wife works the lunch shift at
Bob's Big Burgers during the week and
then waitresses at the Evergreen Ballroom
in Lacey Thw'Sday through Saturday
nights. Eskew works swing shift at
Evergreen, 4:30 pm - 1 am. weekdays.
He says he had to leave Florida
because of "family pressures" and
because of the low quality of life. "We
were trying to start over again, and if it
didn't work here it wasn't going to
work," he explains.
One of his main goals in moving to
Olympia was to give his family a stable
environment, something he says they
didn't have in Florida.
"I couldn't have made it down there
anymore," Eskew says, "Everyone j.ust
wanted to party all the time. I was gomg
downhill really fast"
His family situation also prompted
the move. His two sisters had recently
divorced and were moving back into his
parents' home and his wife was also
about to have a child. "Everything started
to disintegrate," he says, "The press~
was just so intense that I had to leave.
Eskew's goal of providing a stable
environment for his wife is influenced by
her background. He says she is "insecure"
and never had a stable family life. His
wife was shifted from family member to
family member while growing up, her
mother was married four times and her
father left home when she was two years
old.
.
E
Eskew enjoys hIS work at vergreen
and says he's treated much better than at
previous postions. "For me and my
family it's been a great job, because of
the medical benefits. Some people say the
work is demeaning but you have to do
what you do to feed your family. I think
I fit in really good with these people out
here and I love it," he says with a laugh.
"The type of work has really no
effect on how you like it. I could hate it,
but it's just your attitude. As far as a
sense of security, when I found out
they're putting up these new buildings ,
[the CRC] and we're getting these new
employees... so how could my job be in
jeopardy when this place is building and
expanding and there's more students? So
you flgure, well, there will have to have
more people to take care of the
buildings. "
Eskew says he would hate to leave
Evergreen because of the medical and
educational benefits, but insists he could
fmd another job. "Losing the insurance
would be tough to deal with, but I could
pay for it," he maintains.
"You've got to come up with the
money," agrees fellow custodian Geof
SeIand.
"But then again," Eskew counters, "if
I'm out of a job how am I going to pay
for it [the pregnancy]?"
"Everybody looks at custodians like
we're all a bunch of bums and we can't
do anything, that's not necessarily true. I
like it here and I get to go to school and
take classes so maybe one of these days
I won't have to worry about somebody
else making a decision that affects my
life."
Eskew took classes at a junior
college but never finished. "I have to
work to support my family, but in the
same token, I feel like I want to be
educated so we can have better things, I
~ant to make something better for
myself. It's the only chance I'll have.:'
This year he has taken Introducuon
to Computers and Statistics. He is
currently in Statistics, but says, "I don't
know if l' ItI going to be able to finish
that because I'm so preoccupied now that
it's tough. Because I don't know what's
going on now and my wife's pregnant,
and it's just tough ... "
"Everything was going so good and
now everything is unsettled and I don't
know what's going to happen."

Program
Funding
by Kevin Boyer
Students in the teaching program at
The Evergreen State College may have
their future careers in jeopardy because
of denied funding for a Masters in
Teaching program at the school.
The college was denied funding
from the state legislature in their 1989-91
Biennial Budget for implementation of a
Masters in Teaching Education program.
The need for the program was based on
a bill the state passed this session. The
law states that all candidates for teaching
Kindergarten through 12 must hold a
Masters in teaching or in the arts,
sciences, and/or humanities.
The College has an undergraduate
teaching program now, but made a
request to the legislature to include in
this years budget $787,845 to implement
a conversion to a full Masters Program.
Schools across the state asked for such
funding, but all were denied.
"The legislature is not behind the
MIT (Masters in Teaching), idea,. says
lennifer laech, special assistant to the
president for governmental relations. "By
not funding any of the schools, they are
sending a message that they might repeal
the bill in the next session."
There were bills introduced this
session tb annul the Masters in Education
Law, and they were backed by a very
vocal group of legislators that transcended
party lines, says Jaech, but all were voted
down.
The funding denied to Evergreen was
for instituting-a curriculum, expandirig the
Library holdings, and adding full-time
faculty members to allow for the low
student-teacher ratio, approximately ten to
one, in graduate programs. The studen.tteacher ratio is twenty to one m
undergraduate programs.
The school will continue the
undergraduate program for the time
being, but may continue to work toward
a Masters program under the constraints
of the new budget. which has $1,510,000
slated for "instructiomil support."
The school stresses this is not a cut,
but, if the current students in Evergreen's
undergraduate program can'l' get their
Masters in Teacher Education, they will
not be able to teach in the state.
"I doo't think the Legislature is so
shortsighted as to , keep the law intact
without funding it," says Jaech. But, she
says, with neither the law repealed nor
funding granted the students that graduate
this year will be in limbo until one or
the other is accomplished and that could
be next year's session.

It was a dismal chapter in the history
of race relations, and the setting was not surprisingly - one of the increasingly
contentious and
inept governance
meetings.
The ' Special Assembly gathered on
May 3 in Library 4300 to select persons
to fill positions on the Steering
Committee. Members of that body are
expected to function in the rather

complete
dehumanizing
role
subservience to the General Assembly,
which thus far has mostly attracted
cranks and social outcasts.
Therefore, it was not surprising that
when the appointed hour arrived there
were only fifteen people in attendance.
That's a packed house by General
Assembly standards. What was surprising,
in a positive sense, was that a full onethird of all present were minorities.
Obviously afflrmative action outreach had
fmally reaped .a success.
"Not so," declared a self-appoiAted
arbiter of fairness, who cried havoc in
asserting that there weren't enough
minorities; which begs the question, how
much is enough? Surely we've progressed
far enough that we need not drag out that
ugly term "quota"
Well, for one thing, everyone there
constituted a minority; the fraction of a
percent of all Evergreen students who go
to these fractious and numbingly dull
meetings. These fIfteen people, unelected
and accountable to no one, presume to
speak for the entire student body. Plus,
the letter of the Geo-Voice had been
followed.

been consulted, and was satisfied with
the recruitment efforts. However, that is

not enough in a forum where even one
person out of forty-nine can derail the
whole proceedings. The Goo-Voice, a true
Mickey Mouse Manifesto, ensured that
the tyranny of personality would hold
sway.
Another person walked in after the
affirmative action issue, following a half
hour of discussion, had been initially laid
to rest. He stayed for five minutes,
following which he rose and said he had
to leave, adding that he didn't see enough
minorities - and wished his veto to
remain forevermore in his absence. The
arbiter of fairness seized that opportunity
to terrorize the assembled citizens in
declaring himself "of a like mind."
Then, to truly lower things to the
level of a soap-opera farce, another
Person of Color came wandering in. He
started to stare down certain members of
the audience, muttering, "you think: you're
so smart, don't you? So smart because
you're white." He then demanded that the
description of every position be read
aloud to him, although the Goo-Voice
laid unread in his lap. Later he

calling whites insensitive to minority
perspectives since they belong to the

plight of the Irish, socially oppressed for

of being thieves. How about Jcws,
haven't they been persecuted too? When
can we put aside our differences and
come together as a community?

Soviet environmentalists visit TESC
by Edward Martin III
Three Soviet representatives from the
newly created State Committee for the
Preservation of Nature visited Evergreen
last Thursday, speaking to a group of
students, faculty and staff about their
organization
and
plans
for
the
environmental fUlure of the Soviel Union.
Afterward, they answered questions on a
wide range of environmental and
ecological issues from the audience
Vasilievich Tarasov is Chairman of
the Department of Industrial Ecology at
Mendeleyez
Chemico
Technological
lnsti tule in Moscow.
Yuri Kotov is the Chairman of the
Department of Nature Protection at Kazan
State University.
Marat R. Khabibullov is also
employed by the Department of Nature
Protection at Kazan State University.
Khabi bullov is a specialist in reptile
ecology and geographic information
systems. In the summer of 1989, he will
be Leaching a course at the University of
Wisconsin. Khabibullov's English is very
good and he acted as a translator for the
delegation.
Tarasov, Kolov and Khabibullov are
in the United States under the US-USSR
Bilateral Agreement on Environmental
Protection.
The Uni versities on their
agenda during this trip included The
University of Wisconsin, Ohio State
University,
Western
Washington
University,
The
University
of
Washington, Willarnette University, The
University of Oregon and the Evergreen
State College.
The State Committee for the
Preservation of Nature was developed in
1988 as a response to the growing need
of the Soviet Union to recognize its own
dangers to the environment. A number
of other organizations and movements
had previously developed, such as the
Russian Society for Nature Preservation
but they lacked the governmental support
that the State Committee enjoys.
In
addition, their methods were ineffective.
Khabibullov described the Russian
Society as a group of elderly women who
didn't get much done.
Many of the scientists and other
specialists working for the State
Commiuee are doing this work entirely
on a volunteer basis. While Tarasov
admitted that naturally, any specialist
working for a company will be paid by
that company, it is still a fact that a
respectable number of volunteer scientists
exist in the organization.
In answer to a question from the
audience, Kotov said that there was some
resistance to the State Commiuee's
decisions,
especially
from
other
ministries, but that, quite frankly , when
a government committee exists, it really
has the entire government behind it and
these instances of resistance are natural
because the State Committee is so new.
There is also some resistance from the
companies and factories that the State
Committee has worked against, but for
the most part, the results are the same.
The Soviet government is much more
effective at supporting the decisions of its
environmental committee than the United
States government Kotov mentioned that
one company repeatedly refused to
perform according to the Committee's
decis;"ns in a satisfactory manner until
the government forced them to, costing in
excess of 45 millions of rubles. The
company is now making furniture.
Tarasov
mentioned
that
new
textbooks have been created, helping the
younger Soviet citizens to understand the
dangers to nature and that many Soviet
universities and colleges are now offering
course in environmental protection.
In closing, Tarasov was asked what
the United States and the Soviet Union
could exchange in order to facilitate each
other's progress in the field of
environmental protection.
Without
hesitation, both Kotov and Tarasov
answered that the United States has a
level of technology that the Soviet Union
needs. While they had no immediate
answer for what the Soviet Union could

In the future OCS hopes to expand
the age range they handle. A preliminary
idea is to have older students learn
largely by pursuing independent study
projects outside of the school.
For now The Olympia Community
School provides an exciting alternative to
standard education and serves as an
example of what elementary education
can be.

Panamanian crisis raises questions
As events unfold in Panama,
apparently heading towards the use of
some kind of US military force, one
wonders why, of all the strongmen in
world governments, the US chose
Noriega to depose. Does he perhaps
know 100 much about the CIA-NSC
illegal contra re-supply operation of the
'80s and George Bush's role in that
operation? Does George want to silence
him -- by whatever means possible
(including murder) -- much like a
criminal syndicate might silence a witness
turned state's evidence? Or is something
larger involved?
It is our belief that what lies behind
the whole anti-Noriega drive is a desire
by most of the US government to create
a Panamanian government which would
be willing to renegotiate the Canal
treaties in a vein more favorable to US
interests. As the treaties now stand, by
1999, the US presence in Panama will be
limited
to
whatever
limits
the
Panamanians desire.
If the government is ultra-nationalist - as Noriega claims to be -- that won't
bode well for the US. If the government,
however, is pro-US, as the CIA funded
opposition appears to be, then the US
would conceivably be granted much
broader room to maneuver in the region.
This, then, is a likely reason for the
intensive US effort to oust Noriega,
especially in light of the flI'St transfer of
power coming up in 1990. On January 1
of that year the US administrator of the
Panama Canal Commission will be
replaced by a Panamanian. As stated
before, the US would prefer a pre-US
Panamanian in that position, especially
one who owed the US government a few
favors (for influencing his election.)
So, with all this in mind, should the
US send troops to influence the situation
there? We say no. Not only does it stink
of "big stick" intervention, it is also
Ilgainst the agreements reached in 1978.
In the basic treaty it states that any
action laken by the US to assure that the
canal remains open "...shall not be
interpreted as a right to intervene in the
internal affairs of the Republic of Panama
or · interference with its political
independence or sovereign integrity."
By appointing itself as the arbiter of
"democracy" (which seems to mean that
no election is democratic unless the CIA
approves of the outcome), the US
government is violating the basic tenet of
that statement with its recent dispatch of
fully armed troops and George Bush's
call for a coup.

Assessment- continued from page 1
to discuss the implications of institutional
assessment.
Before the HEC board's assessment
mandate, Evergreen had begun studying
ways to internally assess the school's
strengths and weaknesses, according to
Academic Dean Carolyn Dobbs. The
assessment plan, being developed by an
assessment study group in conjunction
with Dobbs, Provost Patrick Hill, and the
Office of Institutional Research led by
Steve Hunter, was intended to be used
internally to improve the school.
Last spring the HEC board, under
mandate from lhe Master Plan, called for
assessment of all lhe state's four year
learning institutions, according to Dobbs.
"At one point lhe HEC board
recommended that we move without any
study into standardized testing," says
Hunter. The provosts protested that they
should have a say resulting in the start of
a two year assessment study.
A study group made up of people
from the six state four-year higher
education institutions was formed to
evaluate lhe different standardized tests
and report their results to the
Inter-institutional Committee of Academic
Officers (ICAO), of which Evergreen
We have what you

Evergreen students failed due to a student
boycott.
After receiving the report from the
study group, the ICAO further studied
institutional assessment and will report
their results to the HEC board this Friday
according to Dobbs.
In June lhe HEC Board is expected
to develop a final plan of institutional
assessment for all state controlled four
year learning institutions.
"We are pushing for qualitative, not
objective evaluation of Evergreen," says
Dobbs. In contrast, the Master Plan states
"There is a great need for objective
measures of institutional performance."
Dobbs · believes Evergreen has a
strong case for institution- specific,
qualitative
evaluation, and
hopes
standardized tests will not be the method
of institutional assessment the HEC board
decides on.
"I cannot support institutional
assessment based on the principles written
in the Master Plan that 'quality of life
rests on an economic base' and that

is basically only
an
'investment' to be 'managed for lhe

Cousins.
A meeting is being held this

remembered
by Edward Martin ill
. Today is May 18. Many of us folks
who live in this area remember May 18th
very clearly and often find ourselves
talking about what we were doing on The
Day it happened, in much the same way
we remember losing our virginity or
discovering electricity or our flI'St car
accident or all three, which I suppose is
possible.
Nine years ago, a largy piece of real
estate went foom and the tourist trade in
gray, powdered glass screamed skyward
like a rocket. With me yet? Of course
you are.
Recently, nothing especially exciting
has happened at Mount Saint Helens, but
I have been giving some pretty heavy
thought to how we should best celebrate
this phenomena and I have come to a
pretty reasonable conclusion.
At 9:27 in the morning (pacific
Standard Time), I think we should all
grab a can of deodorant and spray it
through a lighter flame in an upward
direction. The flame will creep into the
can and it will detonate. This is the
symbolic explosion.
Next, we should get a big bag of ash
and dwnp it in our carburetors. If you
don't have a carburetor, then borrow
someone else's. If you can't fmd
som«One else to lend you their carburetor,
then you can settle for finding a
disgustingly Jfull ashtray anti.pitching the
contents into the air with a primitive and
psychotic whoop. This is' the symbolic
ash.
If we all did this, then President
Bush would declare Washington a
national mental hazard and planes would
be occasionally flown over, packed with
curious tourists. This would just be
symbolic.
Besides, it would complete the
illusion. After all, we have to celebrate

Students Against Apartheid (SM)
worked late the eveniDlt of Apri\ 19,
preparing for a bake sale to fund the trip
to Idaho. TESC security forces came to
their door at 1:15 am and began
questioning· the students about graffiti on
campus. Several minutes later an SM
member was tackled by security· officers
in D dorm and pinned to the floor ... .
"Help policel" the student cried out.
His assailants accused him of assault,
vandalism and "rocking the boat" on
campus. "They were pummeling him,"
David Abeles said.
"No you're under arrest; you're the
assailants," the student replied.
Thurston County Sheriff's deputies
responded to an SM call for assistance.
The student was taken to the TESC
Security office. Alleging they had
evidence of two felonies, assault and
malicious vandalism, police attempted to
coerce a confession and offered to reduce
charges in exchange for admission of
guilt The student was held in Thurston
County jail for 14 hours. Upon release he
was notified he was charged with
. criminally trespassing on the TESC
campus. As of May II no evidence had
been presented, no charges flied and no
probable cause offered in explanation for
the assault and intimidation brought
against this student.
Laurie Rawl, another member of
SM was interrogated on April 19 by
Larry Savage, TESC Security Sergeant.
He repeatedly told her that she was
suspected of having knowledge of, or
being heavily involved in malicious
mischief and Class B felony charges.
Savage, according to the student, seemed
"excited about the case. He told her that

Campus Security Chief Gary Russell
says the claims of students Rawl,
Douglas, Abeles and Bye are inaccurate.
"It seems really apparent that they're
trying to portray Security as doing
something wrong because they got caught
[doing graffiti]," Russell explains.
Members of Students Against
Apartheid (SAA) claim Security officers
came to their door and began questioning
them about graffiti, but Russell explains
that it was a routine response to a report
of graffiti.
RusselJ says security officers
responded to the fifth floor of D Dorm
because of a report of fresh graffiti.
When the officers were in the hall a
woman looked out of room 506, lhen
shut the door quickly.
According to Russell, the officers
then knocked on the door, asked the
woman if she had seen anything relating
to the graffiti. She replied "no."
Russell says officer Robert "Andy"
Anderson then spotted Greg Bye, whom
Anderson had observed involved in
graffiti on April 3. When Anderson saw
Bye on April 3, says Russell, Bye fled
from the officer.
When Anderson recognized Bye on
the fifth floor of D Dorm April 19, he
wanted to question him about the graffiti
incidents. Russell says when it appeared
that Bye would again flee, Anderson
"lOOk hold of his [Bye's] arm, that was
the extent of it," Russell insists.
Bye and other SM members allege
that the officer "tackled" Bye and
"pummeled" him. Russell says this is not
true.
After Anderson grabbed Bye's arm,
Bye swung and hit Sergeant Lou Heller
in the face. A1I three men then lost
balance and fell to the floor, says Savage.
Heller was taken to the hospital after the
incident. He suffered an injured nose, a
broken IOOth and an injured knee.
Anderson and Bye were uninjured.

Raw\. TIle suggestions would not deal
with her grievance and were very time-consuming. To pursue the grievance
would probably mean lower academic
standards and less time for her JXivate
life. Many feel that the Social Contract
should be amended to allow students to

SM and other politically active
students believe that we were targeted by
security because of our political
convictions and activities. However, the
events described will not stop us from
acting on those convictions. We hope
other activists will not be deterred from
their political work: because of repressive
measures.

asked.
Rawl was also shocked to learn that

that the surveillance and lack: of respect

there does not exist a provision for
students to bring grievances against the

several suggestions as to how to address

Responding to accusations that
security tried to pin Bye to the floor,
Russell says the officers were trying to
handcuff lhe suspect.
Russell says !he offi:-.ers had radioed
for assistance from the Central DisPatch,
and "they arrived in pretty short order."
SM students claim they also called for
assistance, and Russell says "there were
other calls."
Another student was also charged
with "rendering criminal assistance" in
the incident. Russell says the individualgrabbed at evidence [posters Bye carried]
that was associated with graffiti. Russell
explains that the posters were associated
with the graffiti because they used "the
same type of slogans." He says the
student came out of room 506, where the
woman had been initially questioned.
Bye chose not to make bail, says
Russell, and was held until his
arraignment. The court put Bye under a
criminal trespass order, which said he
could not come on the Evergreen campus
for 72 hours. This "provided a cooling
off period," says Russell.
The day after Bye's arrest, Security
asked student activist Laurie Rawl to
come in for questioning, and she
complied, says Russell. Sergeant Larry
Savage, who questioned Rawl, asked if
she went on the trip to the Nevada

faculty and staff art show
By Honna Metzger
"She's naked but she's strong,"
observed art student Robin Bilbas,
circling the pointy-breasted, tiny-headed
"Burned Rider Torso."
"It's a little more progressive view"
of women, added Jim Espedal, who
studies and creates 3-D sculptures in
Studio Projects. The artist, Mike Moran,
scratched a woman boldly riding a horse
on the front of his sculpture.
The Faculty and Siaff art show is
currently in Gallery Four of the Library
Building; giving students, faculty,. and
staff the opportunity to pry into the
artistic side of people they often see
around campus.
For example, in Louise Williams'
"Boys Diaper Baby" (a splendid oil
painting) a female infant is shown laying
on ber back naked, ' 'waiting to be
diapered. Out of the darkness around her,
pasty hands of obscured boys seem to
s.tretch towards the vulnerable baby's
nakedness. What does someone say about
an image like that? Faculty member and
artist Bob Haft said,"I like it a lot"
"It
challenges
the
viewer,"
philosophized Deb Fausti, gazing at the
painting.
Another artist whose work leans
toward the challenging is Hugh Lentz.
His piece, "A proper Malady" is pictured
on the left He takes "all-American"
images, such as Grandpa taking little
Tommy on a walk, and couples them
with disturbing or gruesome pictures, in
this case a slimy, gaping red mouth. The
juxtaposition forces you to look twice at
, the "innocent" image-- Lentz has, through
association, all but destroyed its apparent
purity.
"I don't like that mouth," one student
HUllh Lentz' "A Pro~r Malady" complained. Perhaps he isn't supposed to.
