CPJEditor has a goodbye message
by Darrel W. Riley
I'm including my name in this
editorial because some people have
been confused about who writes the
editorials.
The following is excerpted from a
lener I sent to the Communications
Board.
For personal and professional
reasons I am resigning from my
position as editor of the Cooper Point
Journal.
Over the course of the year the
CPJ staff has become extremely
capable and will be able to fulfill the
requirements of the paper without my
assistance as editor. / will return to
doing writing which I did not have
the time to do as editor.
There have been many positive
changes to the CPJ since J came. For
instance, the CPJ now has a regular
career column. We added an arts and
entertainment editor and photo editor.
We have resumed the KAOS column
(on an intermittent basis) that we
began the year with. We have
published much of the student
governance and curriculum planning
material.
The greatest changes to the paper
have been internal. Previous papers
were often being laid out until just
before delivery 10 Shelton. 8:00 or
9:00 a.m. Thursday . Today it is
extraordinary if layout runs later than
midnight.
J have been proud to be ediUJr of
the CPJ. I hope we were able to heal
some wounds from previous years. I
leave the CPJ in good hands and
headed in a positive direction.
Please accept my profound
apologies for leaving this position but
personal circumstances have. made it
unavoidable.
Who is this little boy? The hair should
be a clue, If you could see the sandeled
feet you would know for certain.

Because of intense turmoil in my
personal life I made the decision to
resign in February. I had no idea my
decision would be announced in the
middle of such heated controversy.
The controversy almost made me
change my mind, but it's time to
move on.
A couple of notes. [ apologize to
the people who did the International
Women's week stories. Somehow on
layout night they got left off.
The story in last week's issue
bylined by WashPIRG was really by
Willow Ostergaard.
We got a lot of letters too late to
include in this week's paper. One
brought up a point I would like to
clarify. My editorial opinions are my
own. I don't take a survey to find
out what to write in my editorials, at
most I walk around campus listening
to people until I feel there is enough
material for an editorial. I don't
pretend to represent campus opinion.
For a campus which supposedly
prizes diversity there sure are a lot of
folks upset by people who think
differently. Oh well.
Spring break. is almost here. I
hope over break. people will take the
time to forgive and forget and to
renew
their
committments
to
themselves, each other, and their
world.
God Bless you all.

Coca-Cola responds toTESC criticism
I read with interest the letter in your
February 23 issue regarding the CocaCola Company and South Africa. The
letter is penneated by misinfonnation.
The company did Dot own any bottling
plants in South Africa, holding only a
minority stake in one bottling operation.
Much of that interest is now owned by
black South Africans. The Company pays
DO
taxes to the South African
govenunent. Pepsico soft drinks are
produced and sold in South Africa.
Rather than continue to ('.arrect the
speCific misstatements, let me point out
that the Coca-Cola Company's opposition
to apartheid is a matter of public record.
Because of our opposition to apartheid
and our dissatisfaction with the slow pace
of change in South Africa, we completed
our disinvestment in 1986. We were
determined, however, not to let our
disinvestment become merely a symbolic,
ultimately ineffectual, condemnation of
apartheid.
Instead, in close consultation with
black Soulb African leaders, the
Company developed a disinvesUnent plan
with three principal objectives: (1) to
maximize the economic empowennent of
. black South Africans; (2) to help South
African blacks prepare for leadership
roles in a post-apartheid society; (3) to
strengthen the economies of neighboring
black-ruled countries.
The Company has taken a number of
steps to ensure that these goals are met.
The Company participated in negotiations
with South Africa's major bottler leading
to the sale of 11 percent of its shares to
4,600 small retailers and 2,400
employees. Approximately 60 percent of
the retailers who purchased shares and 75
percent of the employees who purchased
shares are black. With Company support,
a group of South African investors
purchased a majority interest in the CocaCola bottling plant in East London, Soulb
Africa. Purchasers of the Company's
fonner
holdings
are contractually
to maintain enlightened
obligated
employment practices initiated by the
Company.
. Prior to its disinvestment, the
Company
established
the
Equal
Opportunity Foundations, South Africanbased funds dedicated to laying the
groundworle for post-apartheid Soulb
Africa. Governed by an independent
board of distinguished trustees, most of
whom are black, and supported by a
$10,000,000 donation, the Foundations
have funded projects in areas including
non-traditional
education,
health,
agriculture and black career advancement.

Swaziland with jobs and significant tax
revenues that were fonnerly paid to
South Africa. The Company also closed
its South African branch, thereby ending
the Company's corporate and tax
presence in the country.
The Company's disinvesUnent plan
has thus shifted tax revenues from the
South African government to the Swazi
govenunent; assisted black South africans
in becoming ' owners of bottling
operations; . protected South African
workers rights under the Company's
employment practices; and established
independent, black-controlled foundations
dedicated to aiding the victims of
apartheid and working tOward a post
apartheid South Africa.
Tenninating our contracts with South
African bottlers -- a process we could not
legally complete for many years because
of their long-tenn nature -- ·would undo
much of what has been accomplished.
New black South African investors -owners and shareholders of bottling
operations, retail merchants and local
distributors -- who relied on the
continued availability of Company
products in making their invesUnents,
would be deprived of those products.
Swaziland, a black-ruled nation, would
lose significant tax revenues, and its
people would lose jobs. The South
African government would likely not
experience any revenue loss, since the
bottlers would be free to produce and sell
other soft drinIc products. The most
serious and tragic result, however would
be that the Company would no longer be
positioned to help build and participate in
a post-apartheid South Africa.

CPJ staff unappreciated
I don't work for the CPl, nor do I
personally know anybody who is
presently on the staff.
In the spring of 1987 I did do a little
for the paper, helping with the layout.and
proof reading a few things. Before I did
this, I had my ideas about the CPl. I
thought that it was all right but could and
definitely should be better. While working
on the paper those ideas did not change,
b\lt I did learn a few supplementary
things. One was that the Evergreen
curriculum does not include anything
built around the putting together of the
CPl. One can design an individual
contract, and some undoubte:dlY'; do. But
apart from that there is no curricular
support for the paper. Another thing that
I learned is that it takes a lot of effort
and stick-to-it-tiveness to week after week
put together the CPl.
When I did my small amount of
worle for the paper Polly Trout was the
editor. I would come in one night a
week, Wednesdays, at about 5 or 6 pm
and leave at lIar 12. When I wallced in
she was there, and when I left, she was
there, always looking like she could use
about 10 hours of sleep. Wednesday was
(and probably still is) a big day for the
\1-
CPl staff, as on Thursday the paper goes
to the printer. Sometimes on Thursdays
I'd run into Polly Trout on campus, and
it was obvious that she hadn't slept or
had slept very little. I learned later that
as well as being editor she was taking a
16 credit program. As we know, with an
Evergreen program sometimes you work
really hard and sometimes you hardly
work. I think that Polly Trout worked
pretty hard at being the CPJ editor. She
put in a lot of time anyway.
All of this is to say: The CPl staff is
not nearly as inept as unappreciated. If
they are five percent inept they are
ninety-five percent unappreciated. For
sure there may be people out there who
could do a better job. But that doesn't
mean a thing unless the bener job is
being done. I can't speak for the present,
but in Spring of 1987 the CPl staff
whole-heartily accepted and genuinely
considered anybody' s sincere~ respectful
suggestion. I doubt if things have
changed much in that respect
To the staff of the CPl I say thank
you very much and keep up the good
work.

Championship includes kickboarding?
After being neglected for the entire
season, it was a pleasant surprise to see
the CPJ bothered to report on the swim
team's perfonnance at the district meet.
The story printed two weeks ago even
got most of the facts right. [Most of the
facts right? Please inform your coach
what facts weren't correct so that the nat
time he writes a story you can proof it for
errors.] However, the photo printed in
your most recent issue once again
exhibited the slipshod journalism so
prevalent in this year's CPl.
The caption read something like,
"Evergreen swimmer swims to victory at
Districts," an event which is already old
news. No story was printed about the
tearn 's then upcoming trip to Nationals,
something that I would consider much
more newsworthy.
Even worse, on closer inspection, I
noticed that the photo wasn't even taken
at the district meeL It is a photo of Brad
Carlson using a kickboard during
practice. Kickboards are not used in
racing at competitive swim meets, though
I'm sure that were there such an event as
the l00-yard breaststroke kick, Brad
would have been victorious in true
Geoduck style.
In the future, I suggest that the CPl
be more respOnsible about reporting
sports news. Even if the editors of the
paper feel that sports are not an
important part of school life, there are
people on campus who would like to
know how Evergreen's sports teams are
doing; I am one of them. As an athlete
myself; I can also say that it is nice to
see meet/game results and competition
schedules in print. This gives athletes the
feeling that their efforts aren't going
unnoticed. But for Pete's sake, be
accurate. If you don't know what you're
looking at, ask someone who does know,
instead of making up corny captions.
Tamara Nameroff
[Slipshod journalism? Be more
responsible for reporting sports news? If
you read the CPJ
you would know
that the only time sports gets covered is
when people like you write for us. The
swimmers get covered more than any
other sport at Evergre.en because the
coach writes about them. Among the
"responsible journalists" on the ~wim team
none volunteered to write for the CPl. We
Evergreen graduate runs for City Council
asked two of them to write; "no time."
I think sports are important to
Evergreen as Pve said several times
before. I'm not as sure the athletes feel
the same way since they never have the
two minutes it takes to write about their
activities but always have dme to
complain about the coverage that someone
else does.
If you felt that the Nationals were so
important why didn't you . write about
them yourself? Oh, sorry, "no time." I
understand, because I myself don't have
time to cover them. I just thought since '
you were already there ....
Before we printed the picture we
asked some athletes to write us a story or
caption. Unfortunately they "didn't have
lhe time."}

For one thing, as Michael himself
staled, he was "foolishly drunken" when
he lost his book. To me that means he
should probably first look to himself and
his own foolislmess as the original cause
of his loss.
What about this experience? Two
months ago I accidentally left my tan
jacket in Lecture Hall 3 after a movie.
For days I looked allover the place for
my jacket. · About a -week later I had '
almost forgotten ibQlft it when somebody
who knew me came up to me and said,
"I think I saw your jacket hanging on a
coat hanger in Lecture Hall 3."
Sure enough, it was hanging there,
right where I left it. Untold numbers of
classes and students had gone in and out
of there: and not one of them had taken
my jacket. That made me feel pretty
good about people on this campus.
I don't mean to downplay the loss of
your book if in fact someone did take it,
but I don't think you should draw too
many gruesome conclusions and ugly
generalizations about it. I happen to
believe that in general, Greeners tend to
be more honest and conscientious than
most people.

Well enough that Tsutakawa and
Dcemi will be making an album together
in a Seattle studio the week following
Tribute to Japan. Tsutakawa says he's
just supporting Dcemi in the venture, as
this will be her debut solo album.
"She's a solid singer," says
Tsutakawa. "Her real strengUt is soul
music·-she puts everything into it."
Tsutakawa, who calls his own music
"contemporary soul jazz," compares
Dcemi's style to some of the
contemporary greats, such as Roberta
Flack, Gladys Knight and Aretha
Franklin.
But Dcemi adds another influence-Janis Joplin--and in conversation her low,
throaty voice echoes that of the Sixties
rock star.
"1 just like to sing," says Ikemi,
who's been performing . for 17 years.
"People sometimes ask me if I do
Japanese music, oj she laughs, "and I tell
them to come and check it out. When
they do, they're dumb-founded. My music
isn't quiet or demure like the Asian
stereotype. People don't expect to hear an
Asian female sing like I do."
If there aren't any JapaneseAmerican singers mentioned among
Ikemi's influences; it's because she's
something of a trailblazer.
"I feel there's a need for Asian
females in the rhythm .aDd,blues and pop
music field. We have a place, it's just a
matter of us getting out there and doing

Opinion
Spirit of cooperation violated by Thomas
institution, Evergreen has the obligation
to provide open forum for the members
of its community to present and to debate
public issues, to consider the problems of
the college, and to serve as a mechanism
of wide· spread involvement in the life of
the larger community." The decision by
Thomas et al, to hold a meeting on
Friday afternoon when most students
were gone, and to direct the coordinaLOr
of the Student An Gallery to remove the
"offensive art" undermines the intent and
goal of inclusiveness and community
involvement.
Thomas allegedly ordered the artwork
down because the "process" of display
approval was in question. Although only
two students previewed the art and
disagreement , between them over its
suitability occured, it still went through
tb appropriate process and met the
criteria set by the Student An Gallery for
public display.
On Thursday, February 23, a
community-wide meeting was held in the
Pit to discuss the artwork. Many people
of differing persuasions and viewpoints
attended this well publicized meeting. No
administraLOr, with the exception of Ted
Hong, attended this meeting or sent a
representative.
The decision to remove the art upset
ma'lY people, and the art made many in
our community uncomfortable. For me,
the art was liberating; it reclaimed
by Thomas Mitchell Freeman
I was angered by the editorial which
appeared in the March 2 CPJ. The
position on the AIDS artwork taken by
Editor Darrel Riley was outrageous, as
was his criticism of the individuals who
confronted Stone Thomas, "dean of
students," for the process by which
Thomas censored the work of a student
artist
The editorial states that "Yesterday
I watched this man being attacked for
making a decision which was his right to
make about the removal of the picture."
Riley's terminology does not accurately
reflect the discussion which lOOk place at
the community meeting.
Thomas was being challenged for a
decision which was NOT his right to
make about the removal of the art work.
The Social Contract explicitly states that
"Meetings of public significance cannot
be held in secret" Thomas, along with
four other administrators, Kathy Ybarra,
Margarita Mendoza de
Sugiyama,
Kathleen Garcia, and Jennifer Jeach,
, attended a secret, closed-door meeting on
Friday, February 2A and voted to order
the artwork down. This action undermines
the concept of "learning community." A
fifth administrator, Ted Hong, also
attended the meeting but he courageously
refused to suppon the decision LO remove
the art
The Social Contract states: "As an
sexuality taken away during the '80s as
a result of the AIDS crisis. I find
censorship offensive. When AIDS became
known in the American conscious, .the
prevailing attitude was one of "that's
offensive to me, I don't want to discuss
it. People are dying? That's your
problem." The sexuality-phobic reactions
to the art wasn't much different.
I believe the spirit of cooperation
can be fostered through open forums and
public access to information. Supposedly
that's what Evergreen is about. What
galls me about this debacle is that when
an unpopular decision was rendered it
was done covertly, and without active
student involvement. In fact, the secret
meeting was underway when Ted Hong
called Vince Brown and told him he
should attend.
It was through Brown's insistence
that an administrator take responsibility
for the art's removal that Thomas' notice
was written and displayed in the case. If
the administrators truly believed in the
of
community,
public
concept
participation, and access to information,
they owe the Evergreen Community an
apology for their actions.
A group of students are considering
fLling a formal grievance against those
who voted to remove the artwork. A
public apology is the least that should be,. "
expected. In my opinion, disciplinary
action may be in order. However, in the
spirit of cooperation and community, I
am willing to forego the official
grievance procedure, if there is a public
acknowledgement that the secret meeting
was inappropriate, and a promise that any
future controversies will be discussed in
the open with a broad base of community
involvement.
No person should be held above
criticism and accountability for his/her
actions. In a public institution the '
administration is accountable to the
people it serves. If we excuse individuals
for their actions because of position, title,
or previous association, then we become
accessories LO their actions. I was sorry
to see the CPJ act timidly towards these
individuals when the stakes are so high.
The Wednesda}!, March 1 post-art
removal community meeting created
suppon for greater involvement in the
display of art on campus. One suggestion
from a library staff person was that the
faculty/staff lounge be convened into a
Student An Gallery.
Had Stone Thomas
and the
administrators decided to hold or attend
the open forum from the beginning, this
rift in the Evergreen community would
not now exist.

Art or pornography?
Stephen Enyeart
The word "morality" has gotten some
bad press over the years. It is often
considered subjective, purely dependent
on one's own interpretation. But there is
also a common morality, a philosophy of
coexistence created to protect people's
rights. Everything from littering to
murder are adversaries to this common
morality, and this must include the art
work on the first floor of the CAB.
Now, I believe in the right of
personal expression but it must also be
considered a privilege extending beyond
the display. If the artist had given any
thought to the implications of the
creation, then surely there would be no
problem, no complaints about visual

Intercity T , a n
SIt
by Eric M. Larsen
So the Dean of Student Development
has "directed" that the now famous art
piece "Onanist" depicting the sexual
plight of gay men be removed. So five
women community members have flied
complaints with the affrrrnative action
office that they were "sexually assaulted"
by the ' photographic piece. So an across
the board "moraLOrium" has been placed
on the student art space denying Aaron
Joshua Bausch-Greene the right of artistic
expression as well as Kathleen Hanna. So
once again the processes of cooperation,
support, and resolution that we strive as
a community toward have been subverted.
I find it ironic, disheartening, and
frustrating to be bombarded daily with
the fallacy that at Evergreen we settle our
differences in the spirit of a community
that works for everyone. We are
inundated with this fallacy through the
school "newspaper", the social contract,
and by administrative directives that start
"In the spirit of locatibility and
accountability ... "
There are a number of issues at the
root of this developing dilemma that have
been skirted and ignored. The issue isn't
whether people have ~n offended.
Obviously some people were offended.
The issue isn't whether people have had
a choice in seeing the art piece.
Obviously some people have seen it who
would rather have not What then are the
root issues?
The issue is in the willingness and
ability to take responsibility for one's
feelings and experiences. Certainly if
something was empirically offensive,
everyone who was exposed would
expeQ,ep,c e offense.l-ike being exposed to
radiation--it burns everyone. Being
offended
is
a
choice,
however
unconS(;ious it may be.
The. same choice is true of the issue
of confrontation. All sensory perception
can be construed as confrontational.
What's unique about the artwork is
that it doesn't change, what changes is
the way we perceive it, judge it, and
make choices about it.
I was one of the most vocal
opponents of the display of Salvadoran
death squad victims in the student art
space last year. I found that display
offensive. However, I learned to take
responsibility for my feelings of being
visually assaulted. I have become
libelated from that feeling and not simply
"manipulated" by things that I see. I
chose to be offended by that display, I
am clear bow difficult coming to terms
with that can be.
Being aware of that choice does not
address the needs of. those experiencing a
level of offense and confrontation
uncomfortable enough to be termed
assaulL As Margarita Mendoza de
Sugiyama, coordinator of Evergreen's
affl11JUll.ive action offICe stated "these are
concerns that need to be facilitated" ,
Indeed they do, however, removing the
artwork to address the needs of those
offended does not address the issue of
why the work is so offensive to them; it
simply responds to the problem in a
typically westem fashion--that of treating
symptoms, not causes. People so strongly
affected need suppon, quality counseling,
and Wl understanding yet honest
environment; not reactionary tokenism
designed to ease the symptoms Wld
pacify the problem.
Whether Dean Thomas has declared
himself benevolent dictator, protector of
the offended, or legislative and
never
administrative puppet we
know. What we do know is that Dean
Thomas has spoken consistently of
community--of a process unique to
Evergreen--perbaps best exemplified by
these passages in the social contract:
"WAC-174-120-020.2.a ... All must share
alike in.. .resolving their differences
may
through due process and with a strong
will to collaboration. Wac-174-120-050.1
Community members who come into
conflict with one Wlother should make a
determined effon to resolve problems
peacefully and constructively between
themselves."
We also know is that this spirit and
"suung will to collaboration" has been
subverted behind closed doors. Dean
Thomas has indicated that he is
responsible. One gets a feeling from this
situation that more than meets the eye
has transpired at an administrative level,
and that the position of Dean of Student
Development reeks of a kind of
continued from page 10
assault or pornography, and no need for
the little forum in the Pit on the third
floor. But it happened. And like the
witches from MacBeth, there was a lot of
cackling as the brew stirred.
Let us begin by defining the issue. It
is not the difference between art and
pornography, nor is it concerning gallery
space for student works. The true issue
surrounds the artist's capability to control
his or her intent and keep it from
becoming a free-for-all fiasco. Though it
may result in some restriction, it is not
difficult LO do. Until the time arrives
when students can obtain their own
separate gallery, they must respect the
rights of others. A single, unexpected
glance at a work of questionable subject
matter will disturb or offend some
sensibilities, and therefore go against the
common morality. Claiming ignorance is
just as unforgivable as recognition of the
potential problem--sexual e~licjtnes~ has
long been a controversial issue. ,
I am of the opinion that both sides of
the debate have validity in their
arguments, but this can not and does not
eradicate the common morality. If the
artist truly intended her subject to reflect
the seriousness of AIDS, this would not
have happened and her work would not
now be forfeited to an entirely different
issue,

administrative fall guy--a kind of
Evergreen Oliver North.
On February 23 a community-wide
forum was called by the Student art
gallery coordinator ' to open dialogue,
exchange ideas, and view concerns
orbiting the art presentation. In typical
Evergreen
fashion,
there
were
shortcomings in getting the word out and
some people directly involved or affected
did nol know about it. Regardless, the
turnout was impressive with attendance
from all campus constituencies. I felt that
people were making a real effon to
bridge the differences in an air of
community spirit I had not previously
witnessed at Evergreen.
It is in this sense of community that
I mourn the actions of Dean Thomas, the
administration and legislature, and those
directly or indirectly involved with the
midnight cloak and dagger removal of the
student artwork; and more importantly,
the direct, calculated and dictati ve
subversion of grass-roots community--a
rarity anywhere today.
I would like to thank Dean Thomas
for not suspending the student art gallery
budget allocation which is derived
directly from, and is in fact, student
funds. As I was pondering this whole
crazy mess I thought "what if people
with a whole lot more power than Dean
Thomas were to act similarly by
informing us, after the fact, of their
dictatorial decisions?" I could just see
Ronny on the T.V. saying: "In the spirit
of locatibility and accountability, I wish
to inform you that I have dropped the
bomb... "
So what are we gcing to do?

Wrilers over the world wece shocked
and am;u.ed by the recent threats against
author Salman Rushdie and his novel
"The Satanic Verses." In a, way, it's
heartening to think that there is still a
perceived power in the printed word. The
pen, it is said, is mightier than the sword,
but who among us would have believed
it? Could one Satirical novel that deals
with good and evil and the culture that
the author springs from be so dangerous?
Imagine! An important religion could be
so disturbed that one of its leaders issued
a five million dollar bounty to the person
who would rid Islam of that gnat in the
Prophet's beard, Salman Rushdie.
The issues are power and control no
mailer what you hear from the injured
party about insults and honor. This isn't
the first time and it won't be the last that
a major religion finds itself threatened by
(of all things) a work of fiction. Salmon
Rushdie did not write a text, he did not
atlempl to revise history. He explores the
sometimes overlapping nalure of good
and evil. There isn' I anything ne w there,
writers have considered that a viable
point of departure since the invention of
the printing press.
What is so new? Rushdje uses a rich
background of western literature to frame
his novel arid calls on his own rich
culturat tradition. No devout Moslem
would change his mind aboul his religion
because of this work of fiction. Then
what is the issue? One answer is the
need to control Ihe outside world's view
of that religion. It seems incredible that
anyone could be impressed with the
beauty and spiritual depth of any group
that is willing to kill to -keep its image,
intact In fact, there is sOmething idiotic
in the notion.
'
Perhaps the issue of control is on
another level and aimed at controlling
something else. Perhaps it is perceived as
a chance to unify the nation and control
the followers of Islam.
Make no mistake, the issue is one of
control. The control of writers, authors,
and maybe the next time the other forms
of media. It is interesting that literature
gets the heaviest repression, next to the
press. Fiction is dangerous. Laughter
scares the hell out of those who would

conlIOl hearts and minds. Maybe comedy,
especially satire is the noblest profession.
Apparently it works better than anyone
had a hope or prayer that it could.
There is another aspect to the
problem of censorship and banning. There
are statements being made on national
television about the merits of this book.
Some statements have been inaccurate
and many are misleading. One of the
newsmen characterized "The Satanic
Verses" as a 'trashy' book. He admitted
that he hadn't read it. How can the
public know the truth if the truth is kept
from them? The ability to read and
understand the controversy has been
removed from the shelves.
Rushdie speaks of a poet's work:
"".The boy shrugs. 'A poet's work,'
he answers.
'To name
the
unnameable, to point at frauds, to
take sides, start arguments, shape the
world and stop it from going to
sleep.' And if rivers of blood flow
from the cuts his verses inflict, then
they ' will nourish him. He is the
satirist, Baal."
There are writers whose job it is to
disturb the cultural peace. For them there
are no sacred cows. Not every ideas is as
worthy as another, but every idea has the
right to be heard, Hum8!lity has a better
chance of developing a nonsense detector
if it had the opportunity to be exposed to
all points of view. No organization, no
government, no facet of established
religion, no accepted viewpoint of culture
is above examination. If any segment of
the establishment considers itself above
criticism or laughter it is looking for
trouble.
If the Ayatollah Khomeini didn't
like the book, he could have ignored it.
That is the thing that writers dread most.
The act of fiction is an act of bra very.
Every good writer knows that his
education, his prejudices, his blind spots
are there on the paper with his intent.
Even successful writers know that
everything lhat they create will not be
brilliant or even good. Still, they
courageously persist. Only one that I
know of has had a five million dollar
bounty placed on his head. Some of us
thought that getting published or read was
enough of a challenge.
This threat, this death threat against
one man with a sense of humor is
inspiring. Be in awe at the power of an
idea. It is a gauntlet flung in the face of
authors everywhere. Speak up. You can
make a difference, you can speak out
against the ironies and injustices of our
time. The pen is mighty, it may be all
we have. Writers, to my knowledge, are
not preparing an attack on anyone in
particular but we will not tolerate control.
No banning, no censorship is acceptable.
Beware, no idea is written in Stone. On
the whole, this is probably a good thing
for planet earth.
There are people without a sense of
humor or proportion. That's too bad .
Maybe that the only thing that could save
them from the mighty power of the pen.
A good belly laugh might have mitigator
the effects of the tiny gnat in the beard
of the prophet.

Evergreen faculty consider
changing from quarter to
4-1-4 semester system
by Suzeue Williwns
An Evergreen faculty DTF is
considering adopting the 4-1-4 proposal,
a switch from the present quarter system
to a semester system. The members of
the DTF are Don Middendorf, Diana
Cushing,
Gerry
Lassen,
Andrew
Buchman, Judy Huntley, Frank Motley
and Bill Aldridge. The proposal was
presented two years ago by then-Faculty
Chair Malt Smith. now an Academic
Dean. The faculty at the time voted
"overwhelmingly" in favor of the new
system, but no action was taken.
The proposal calls for two flfteenweek semesters with a one month
"intersession" in January. The credit
earned for full time enrollment during
two semesters is equivalent to the 48
quaner hours presently earned. Students
could use the intersession period to work,
travel or earn extra credits. For faculty,
Smith says, the intersession is an
opportunity to conduct ~search or teach
topics they couldn't dunng the semester.
If the faculty approves the proposal
this Spring it will be presented to the
President's Advisory Board (pAD) and to
the Board of Trustees. Smith says the
PAD received the proposal in Fall of
1987. but the board was involved in
grievance and appeals issues, so the 4-14 proposal was not addressed at .that
time. He says the proposal was n~t glven
much auention by faculty because they
were involved with a new hiring
procedure, faculty reapp?~';Il1ent policy
and other governance acUvlues. .
The 4-1-4 DTF held two meeungs to
gather student input about the proposal,
but they were not well attended. To
receive student input, several members of
the DTF talked to students in their
programs.
Smith says most students reacted
positively to the proposal once i~ was
explained in detail. "When we go m [to
classes] people say 'Oh no, don't change
anything,' but once you talk to them and
start going over the issues. people change
their understandings preuy rapidly."
Smilh says faculty development is
also incorporated in the proposal. Two
years ago a new faculty evaluation policy
was adopted that separated faculty
evaluation and faculty development The
reason, Smith explains, was "So that the
act of evaluating was not seen as an act
that was supposed to be about how you
should improve, it should be an act that
says you are either doing an adequate job
or you're not doing an adequate job." He
says one of the faculty development
committee's concerns was that faculty can
do work: outside of their programs.
He says the development policy was
adopted wilh the feeling that "we need to
do something to make sure people
develop both as teachers and maintain
their intellectual development." The 4-14 proposal addresses ~s concern. beca~se
it gives faculty time for mtenslve
research.
One of the DTF's concerns was how
to evaluate students for work: done during
the intersession. Because of limited time
during the intersession stu~ents ~ill
receive credit for most mtersesslon
classes on a pass/fail basis. Smith says
this policy allows more teaching time and
more opportunity for students to take
programs they aren't confident about.
Overall, he says, the policy simplifi~ the
session and allows people to take bigger
risks.
Smith says another benefit of the 41-4 proposal is its effect on the facultystudent ratio. Since the proposal would
allow students to take more /nan 16
credits (the current cap), the school
would generate more Fun .Tim.e
Equivalencies (FfE's)-- based on credit
hours, not actual students. State funding
is determined by total FrE count. This
would allow Evergreen to accept fewer
