coopei Point" Journar serves
Evergreen mold, Evergreeners don't want
to hear it Should we next expect to kill
those of different ideas as well?
Totalitarianism often begins with
limiting information and ideas. There is
an old saying, "your rights end where
mine begin." I disagree strongly with the
CIA and its methods, but I feel they have
every right to express themselves. I also
feel I have the right not to listen. I don't
go to their speeches, I don't read their
books (except indirectly), and I don't pay
attention to their ads. But no one has the
right to keep them from speaking. Down
that road leads tyranny. First the CIA,
next the State Department, where does it
end?
There is a fme line between
judgment, rights, and censorship. There
are some types of information that I feel
shouldn't be presented.
For instance, I would not allow an
ad from the KKK advocating government
overthrow. In this America the
constitution allows the KKK to talk about
white supremacy but not to advocate
violent government overthrow.
As an editor I use my judgment
about what is appropriate to the paper but
I try not to limit what is published
because I disagree with its content.
Ads remind me that there are
members of the community willing to
invest their money in a school paper.
Advertisers pay for ads to go into the
CPJ with the expectation that they will
be published in a reasonably professional

February 16, 1989. The CPJ runs an
ad for CIA recruitment. The CPJ door is
covered with anti-CIA graffiti. I get a
phone call from an alumni that tells me
if I don't stop running the ad "they" will
have to take action. A phone message
tells us to shove "tofu up your· ass." A
campus meeting is held to discuss the
CPJ's decision to run the ad.
A paper and its advertisers are in a
peculiar state. We depend on them for
our revenue, they depend on us to reach
their customers.
I chuckled at the thought that the
CIA even wanted to advertise at
Evergreen, until I remembered how many
military reservists go to school here.
Until I remembered how many students
are sons and daughters of military
officers here. Until I remembered how
rigid Evergreeners attitudes are.
Non-conformity to the Evergreen
"norm" is severely punished by people
too afraid to think or even appear in
person. Just like the military. Yeah, if I
were in the CIA or military I would
advertise at Evergreen too. Why not?
Evergreeners already know how to march,
the thinking is already extreme and
rigidly unbending, and they don't see
alternatives. They make great soldiers.
Evergreen has a reputation for being
liberal. That may be true of the politics
but it certainly isn't true of the attitudes.
I've never before been in a place which
objects not only to attitudes but even to
information. If it doesn't fit into the

product. Ads remind me that newspapers
have a responsibility to the community.
If it weren't for the advertisers I
wouldn't have spent two dreadful days
delivering the paper in the snow when
the normal methods of distribution failed.
There wasn't much text in the paper that
couldn't wait, but the advertisers paid for
exposure and without a timely delivery
we would have broken our contract with
them. It's the ad people who have been
willing to put their money where their
mouth is.
Money talks and bullsh-t walks. So
far, the major part of Evergreeners
contribution to the paper has been a lot
of bullsh-t. People complain about the
paper but won't produce material they
think is better. People promise articles,
drawings, paintings but don't deliver.
People spray paint on the door and won't
even come talk to us face to face.
There is a strange dichotomy of
behavior at Evergreen. Students want to
take risks as long as there aren't any
repercussions if they fail. For example,
I've met quite a few people who are
afraid to publish their opinions for fear
The Administration will hurt their
academic career. Get real. Does anyone
seriously believe that someone in "The
Administration" is looking through the
paper to find people whose opinions they
disagree with to punish? If you believe
that you have a highly inflated idea of
your own importance. I am constantly
amazed

censorship of the worst kind. Once it
starts there is no end to it
We've had quite a few people come
into the office and say that the nonexistent Evergreen Free Press will be
much better because they will be funded
entirely with student money from the S
& A Board. I've never heard of an
underground paper being funded with
money from the "oppressing" institution.
That defeats the point, does it not?
The Free Press says they won't
accept ads. That means they will be
completely beholden to the school
administration for their funds and
purpose.
I like ads. They are fun to read and
a Jo Mama's coupon is a handy thing to
use when I want a pizza. But even if I
didn't like ads they provide money for
the paper so we are freed from being
totally dependent on either the school
administration or the S & A Board for
our funding. We have the money to
produce a reasonably well done paper
every week without worrying if we are
going to offend our only source of
funding.

COca-Cola still involved in South· Africa

I wish to address A. Rake's letter to
the good folks who vandalized the Coke
machine on the frrst floor of the CAB.
First off, I don't suppon vandalism of
any kind, simply unplugging the machines
on a regular basis would be much more
effective, and boycotting Coca-Cola
would be the ultimate display of our
disapproval of that corporation's policies
in South Africa. But better ways of
protest is not why I'm wasting my
Saturday writing to the naive.
When Coca-Cola divested from South
Africa they did not sell their bottling
plants to black "businesspersons", they
sold their operations to the existing
manages who were running the show
already. I highly doubt that any of their
managers
were
black
women.
Furthermore, Coca-Cola still sells the

secret syrup that makes Coke "the real
thing" to these bottling plants, so they
still reap the same profits they were
making before with less overhead from
the costs incurred by owning the bottling
plants and stiff South· African taxes.
In addition, Coke also profits from
these franchised companies by selling
them the use of the copyrighted logo
"Coca-Cola". Coke's divestment from
South Africa was simply a propaganda
stunt to fool the politically conscious into
buying Coke instead of Pepsi, which does
not have holdings in South Africa.
Coke is also known as a union buster
in Latin America and as one of the major
land holders in Belize, Costa Rica, El
Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.
Coke owns Minute Maid orange juice,
the largest grower and importer of

Article's headline misleads
I wrote an article in response to a
request from an Afro-American student
journalist which was published last week.
I am disheartened by the resulting article
because the heading suggests something
that does not meet my intent.
The title of my article was JUST
ONE OF THOSE DAYS, I GUESS. My
title was meant to convey to people that
this was not an isolated incident, but
because of the usualness of it, I was not
emotionally damaged by the occurrence.
The title selected by the Page Editor "It
means being assigned to unfair club"
suggests that I am not pleased to be
associated with Black people in America.
Nothing could be funher from the truth.
Black people are amazingly resilient
in the face of oppression; amazingly fuU · ..

when the odds of reaping success from
those talents are stacked against them
from the date of birth.
The article finished in mid sentence
of the last paragraph therefore giving the
wrong impression of my position. In
case there are those who wanted to know
how I concluded the article that
paragraph should have read as follows:
As I read the above, I am struck that
the truth of the statements does not
contradict my overall feeling that things
in America are better for us middle-class
black people that for former generations
of black people. But we are only the tip
of the iceberg, a very small proportion of
our people. Things are w.orse for most of

us.

Abortions may be abolished

oranges grown on land tha~ used to be
rain forest (roughly 98% of all
concentrated orange juice comes from
south of the U.S. boarder).
A few years ago, I beJieve it was
1986, Coke bought a parcel·of 1and from
the Belizian goverrurient which amounted
to almost half of the country; their plans
were to grow oranges for American's
breakfasts (and orange juice makes for
terrible food combining). Luckily there
was quick political response and Coke
agreed to only plow about half of their
new purchase into orchards, and to make

the rest of the land a "rainforest park"
(with proper "improvementS"); whether
they followed through in respect of the
effort to curb the global warming due to
the destruction of the rainforests is a
~ystery to m~. but I'm inclined to think
otherwise. .
So I ask you A. Rake, where did
you get your information about Coke, and
how many different Coke machines do
we really need per square foot in each
building at Evergreen.

Treat dogs as ftfrllily
This is in response to David
Henshaw's letter entitled "Greener dogs
should be free," printed in the Feb. 2
issue of the CPJ.
I am glad to see a fellow Greener
upset at seeing his canine friend, Kasa,
chained to a garbage can. However, I
am appalled at Henshaw's alternative: to
let dogs roam freely without any kind of
confmement.
Having been a King County Humane
Society employee for the past two years
I have seen many animals injured due to
unacceptable confinement arrangements
such as chaining or tying the animal with
rope. Chaining can cause both physical
and psychological damage to the animal..
But what I most frequently witness at the
animal sheller is that even more
numerous and serious tragedies occur
when dogs are "set free" to roam
wherever they wish.
~gs don't think about their actions.
how intelligent or loyal you think your
pet is. Thus, you as a pet owner need to
protect your animal from such dangers as
motor vehicles, thieves and anything
which may make the dog wander such as
the scent of another dog or even a
squirrel or rabbit.
Every day at local animal welfare
agencies hundreds of dogs are reponed
missing. Most of these animals are stolen
or stray away from their owners,
especially if they aren't neutered! Even
worse is that a very small percentage of
these animals are ever reunited with their
owners. Most of these dogs either end up
abused, in shelters probably to be
euthanized, dead in a ditch after tangling
with an unsympathetic automobile or
even sold to a company which uses dogs
for research. Is this the kind of fate you
wish upon your canine companion?
Please help protect your pet by being
a responsible owner. Keep your animal
on a leash when you are in an area
where the animal is unconfined and never

leave your dog in public unattended! At
home, keep your dog in a fenced yard or
in an appropriate dog kennel or run. At
night, bring your dog inside where it can
have the warmth and shelter it needs.
It's not fair to risk putting your
faithful friend through pain and/or death
due to your own laziness or lack of
information! Please, if you love your dog
as a valuable member of your family,
treat him/her as you would your own
child.

Posters torn
Last Friday my roommate and I put
up several notices around campus
advertising for a third person to join our ·
household. The lack. or response we got
check the notice, and discovered that they

had all been tom down, not only from
the housing board, but Jrom other bulletin
boards as well.
I replaced the notices and returned
the next day only to fmd that they had
been tom down again. I can only assume
that our particular notices have been
targeted because we declared ourselves to
be one gay and one straight man, and
that homophobia was the motivation.
Our reaction has gone from disbelief
to anger, and a determination that we
won't be silenced. Therefore, if you're
interested in joining a semi-vegetarian
household on the west-side where your
sexual orientation won't be an issue, call
Kevin or Terry at 942-1445.
Rent is $140 a month plus an $85
deposit for our 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom
apartment with a washer/dryer and a
woodstove. Available March 1st. I hope
people begin to ask themselves what it is
they are really afraid of.

CPJ editors censor· work, rag needs improveme·nt
To the editorial 'bosses' of the CPJ...
Your newspaper which, is supposedly our
newspaper, is a journalistic sham. It is
shallow, trivial, and makes no attempt to
truly inform its readership. The 'popular'
agenda which you continually capitalize
on, to the point of stagnation, feigns
objectivity while depriving readers of
experience outside of the Evergreen
popular mores. Your editorial policy
through which you have usurped absolute
power of judgement, deciding what the
people will read in their newspaper,
sabotages any possibility of free
information.
You continually ask for submission of
work but due to lack of space, that is
frivolously wasted, and censorship,
important works are never printed. Your

job as editors should not be to decide
what or what not the people will be
exposed to, but rather to defy your
judgments, preconceptions, and bias by
exposing the readers to the immoral,
hateful, tragic, bizarre, beautiful; by the
obsession to gather and expose new
thought and ideas; by printing questions
and not answers.
Below are listed some changes which
are a minimum of action required to save
the CPJ from rotting in its own compost.
Stop reserving the front page for
drawings . and photos. Drawings and
photos are an essential pan of the CPJ
but there is no reason why they should
consistently monopolize the front page.
Surely the front page could be used to
accommodate the works that never get

printed or more community input (which
would begin to allow a true forum.)
Stop lacing the paper with
advertising; print all advertising on one
page of the paper. Advertising in the CPJ
is a necessary evil, but it unfortunately
uses valuable space; thus, by centralizing
it in an economical fashion there will be
more space for articles, input, pictures,
.
fiction and poetry.
Stop appealing solely to 'mainstream
Left-wing moderates' in your agenda.
Instead of printing articles that reflect the
consensus of Evergreen mores by
continually reponing on 'causes' that tend
to epitomize the 'perception' of
Evergreen's character and subsequently
limit it, print confusion and uncertainty.
Stop censorship. Print all input as

long as its author feels strongly enough
about it to be held accountable for its
content before the community. Censorship
denies the individual of the freedom of
expression. If one individual is deprived
this freedom we are all deprived of it;
both the oppressed and the oppressors
know this.

Graffiti causes· more harm than expression
by George Leago,
Maintenance Supervisor
I read Sandra Schadd's letter
published January 12 in the CPJ with
interest and fascination. With interest
because in an articulate way she pointed
out that the incidence of graffiti is an
indication of a larger problem--a point I
am sure that is well taken. I am
fascinated because of the rationale she
uses to describe reason for the problem.
Quite evidently she is concerned
about artistic freedom, lack of public
display space and/or what she perceives
as "censorship" at Evergreen. Where did
she get the idea that people should be
free to decorate (use) our campus freely
according to each individual's ideas of art
or expression? Evergreen most certainly
belongs to you- and hundreds of
thousands of others- in a public sense,
but payment of tuition certainly gives no
individual a larger share than any other.
If carried to the end, her idea would
allow every person the "freedom" to use
interior and exterior space at will. If this
be the case, let's imagine that "Sandra"
last Monday just fmished a public mural
to help cover up the "grim, grey slabs of
concrete" for all of us to admire, but by
Friday, another artist decides to paint
over, or worse, change the work. At that
point would she perceive that individual
as an artist or a vandal?
Art, even publiCly displayed, is a
very personal thing. I am concerned that
she associates art with graffiti. Although
I've heard that some consider graffiti a
new art form, I more readily believe the
dictionary defmition: "a rude inscription
or drawing found on rocks or walls."
Art is a labor of love and an
exhibition of skill in . combining the use
of media, experience and creativity,
among other things, and the end result
should be a work of beauty and pride (at
least to the creator) and one the artist is
willing to sign, to exhibit and to take
credit for. The graffiti I've seen is
nothing more than a cowardly, anarchistic
attempt at destruction, with the obvious
intent of inflicting punishment on those
whom the vandal hates. They were acts
of intolerance, violence and hypocrisy.
It appears to me that she seriously
misinterprets the whole concept of

freedom. Freedom does not imply that
one may do as one pleases. Freedom has
rules (even though that seems to be a
bad word these days); it includes
responsibility, respect, and recognizing
the rights of others, as well as sharing
ownership in the community you
mention.
I would suggest that the underlying
problem exhibited by the graffiti is
ignorance of the true principles of
freedom and increasing selfishness,
intolerance and bigotry. This is
demonstrated in the actions of those who
vandalized the student "Reflections on
Nature" projects, by the ones who wrote
anti-Semitic statements and those who
made other attacks on our community in
the recent past.
Perhaps the college could use more
art in public spaces. I would like to see
a few more exterior, large-scale
sculptures in our landscape, yet they
could also become targets for vandalism.
There is ample unused art display space
on the first floor of the CAB and in Lab
1. Just what are you looking for?
As for censorship at Evergreen-- NO
WAY! The only censorship is perhaps
self-imposed by individuals not willing to
take the time, patience and effort to
articulate their desires in the proper way.
The instant gratification philosophy that
pervades our society today produces
impatience, frustration and disgust, and
results in bitching and complaining all the
way to the next dissatisfaction.
When you speak of wasted dollars,
take into account the nearly $9,000 it
took last year to clean up graffiti. That
was truly a waste of college manpower,
funds and resources. Yes, Sandra, I DO
blame the writers of graffiti, because they
very directly affect and undermine the
resources needed for some of these very
thJngs you hope to bring about.
Your letter is an excellent example
of a suitable, articulate way to express
opinion; it was thought-provoking enough
to cause me to reply. Your ideas are
valuable, and this form of expression is
the appropriate way to influence others far more so then scribbling or spray
painting on walls. No censorship here, no
freedoms violated, but a healthy
exchange.

Incidentally, I met and talked with
one of the people charged with the
graffiti last spring. As you indicated, he
is a nice person with something important
to say. I appreciated the chance to hear
his viewpoint, and although we agreed, I
believe we both learned. He gave me the
chance for a proper exchange of ideas.

Effective communcation
important to receive
by Joseph D. Olander,
President
Effective communication is an ideal
to which each of us aspires in the hope
that a greater sense . of community
develops.
.
I am impressed with the isomorphism
to a model of presidential communication
depicted in the attachment and in some
experiences I have had as your president
The President of a large University
issued the following directive to his vice
presidents:

Tomorrow at approximately 9 a.m.,
Haley's Comet will be visible in this area,
an event which occurs only once every 75
years. Have all employees assemble in the
parking lot and I will explain this
phenomenon to them. In case of rain, we
will not be able to see anything so
assemble them in the cafeteria, and I will
show them films on it.
Vice presidents to deans:

By executive order of the University
president, tomorrow at 9 a.m., Haley's
Comet will appear above the parking lot.
If it rains, assemble all personnel in the
cafeteria where the phenomenon will take
place, something which occurs only once
every 75 years.
Deans to faculty:

By executive order of the University
presiden(, tomorrow at 9 a.m., the
phenomenal Haley's Comet will appear in
the cafeteria. In case of rain in the
parking lot, the president will give an
order, something which takes place only
once every 75 years.
Faculty to teaching assistants:

Haley's comet, something which occurs
every 75 years. If it rains, the president
will order the Comet into the parking lot.

Geo-Voice gives more
voice to students
by James Dannen
Governance Team
In theory, government is a contract
between all members of a community
representing their collective wisdom and
reflecting their common will. It is the
responsibility of those charged with the
duty of creating a governance structure to
transform this theory into reality. With
this mandate ever present in our minds,
the Governance Team opened up the
creative process to all students with the
time and energy to devote to creating a
student governance structure. The result
was Geo-Voice.
While certainly not perfect the GeoVoice is a major step towards students
gaining a voice on campus. In his
editorial last week Darrel Riley expressed
confusion as to what sort of decisions
student governance should make. Here' s
a less than comprehensive list:
Those decisions that have been
previously ignored when made by DTF's

March against toxic sludge held last week ·
by Trace Dreyer
Over 500 people marched up the
Capitol Way this week to protest the
dumping of toxic sludge on two sites
bordering the Nisqually Rover. Two
Olympia women, Margerat Curry and
Suzanne Nichols organized the many
groups ~epresented, including the
Nisqually Valley Neighbors.
Linda
Evans of Dallas helped with TV and
radio coverage and JZ Knight sent over
5000 invitations to people in Oregon and
Washington.
The mostly suburban crowd filled the
Capitol steps holding placards and
cheering the speakers. A grandma with a
"No Sludge Trucks" T-shirt took photos
of her daughter and granddaughter. Teens
from as far away as Seattle skipped
school and added happy laughter to the
cheers.
Sludge is city sewage made up of
industrial, commercial, and hospital waste
(viruses, bacteria, flukes) dangerous to
people and wildlife. The UW's Pack
Forest, authors of studies asserting
"sludge can be safe," are largely funded
by Seattle's Metro, which along with
Pierce Cowlty's Utilities are proposing
dumping the sludge at Nisqually.
However, the Department of Social and
Health Services, many scientists, . and
even Metro's Citizens Sludge Advisory
Committee have spoken out against it, "...
research ~suits lack a significant long
term observation and analysis."
This issue doesn't only affect our
neighbors.
Sludge
is
penetrating
Olympia's water sources. The organizers
urge you to contact:

CIA editorial continued
Sorn~t Wc.A-.t.o.rclj) _of

There was some revulsion that the
CIA had money to pay for an ad while
other groups might not. Please, people,
talk to our ad manager Chris Carson
about what kinds of discounts non-profit,
student, and other worthy groups get on
ads.
Its easy for me to agree with the
sentiment at Evergreen that is expressed
but not always its expression. For
instance I think the Master Plan is one of
the most idiotic ideas I've ever heard of.
Using a standardized test for students is
not a· good way to establish learning.
However, the legislature needs some
measurement of the "progress" they are
making with the money, what else could
it be other than testing?
I didn't rally last year to protest the
Master Plan because I felt that was an
ineffective way to protest. A better
approach would have been to come up
with an alternative approach to the
problems of the plan.
Okay, so I'm a supercilious jerk. But
for all of the rallies and excitement last
year the Master Plan was passed
essentially unchanged. Hello, · are you
paying attention? Essentially unchanged.
If you have something to say, try to
say it without spray paint or threats. I
don't listen too well to people who
threaten me.

*************
A lot of people send in stories with
headlines. They probably won't be used.
The headline should fit across the story
and we won't know what wording is
likely to fit until the story is laid out.
Sorry, them's the breaks.

There have been an astonishing
number of people lately who have use<!
the phrase "no choice." "No choice" is ru
amazing concept. Except in a v,ery fev.
Circumstances what they mean is thP
they have a choice but they feel thl
have a compelling reason not to see thf
options and they don't walk to talk abot
it.
For instance, the UW Bookstore took
the controversial book Satanic Verses off
the shelves because they were afraid their
employees would be hurt and they had
"no choice." What they meant was they
didn't feel keeping the book was. worth
the risk, not that there was no choice.
However, "no choice" ends the
discussion. If there's "no choice" then
there isn't anything to discuss. I think
"no choice" a cop-out, at least until the
next time I don't want to talk about
something. Then I'll tell them I had "no
choice."

**************
I want to apologize to Rita Cooper
for the missing sentences of her story.
Sometime between layout night and tfie
delivery to the printers the sentences fell
off the page. Sorry. Be sure to read her
letter in this week's issue which has the
missing sentences.

**************
We are fmally getting some books
for the Hood Canal School (no T.V.'s
though). Thanks to all of you · for
contributing.

**************
Two birthday greetings, one to
Grandpa Merle and one to Aunt Donna.
I love you both.

Sharp,es \A.tin
speak on
Shell boycott
by Hector Douglass
Vivien Sharples, co-coordinator of the
Seattle Shell Boycott Committee, will
show a short video and speak about the
international boycott against Shell
products, Friday, February 22, in CAB
108 at 6 p.m.
Citizens in 14 countries across three
continents are staging boycotts against
Royal Dutch/Shell because it has violated
an international oil embargo by shipping
large quantities of crude oil products to
the racist apartheid government of South
Africa. South Africa has no oil reserves
of its own, and the police and military
are dependent upon Shell to brutally
repress the Black majority and invade
neighboring states. Shell also co-owns
South Africa's largest oil refinery.
Already the campaign is having an
effect. Shell has lost over six percent of
its market share in Denmark and Britain
and pressure is growing in the U.S. The
international boycott enjoys the support
of Nobel prize winner Bishop Desmond
Tutu and imprisoned opposition leader
Nelson Mandela.
Sharples will share information from
a national conference on the Shell boycott
campaign, which she recently attended
and will discuss organizing a boycott in
the Olympia area. A member of the
Seattle Nonviolent Action Group (SNAG),
Sharples
has
also
organized
demonstrations for nuclear disarmament,
abortion rights, against U.S. intervention

Opinion
G·un sales need to be more restrictive
by Carol Hall
"Guns don't kill people --- people kill
people"
The Stockton, California City Council
doesn't agree with that worn-out National
Rifle Association slogan. The Council
voted recently to ban the sale and
possession of semi-automatic paramilitary
assault weapons.
Unfortunately, it took a tragedy to
spur the Council into action on gun
control, a tragedy that claimed the lives
of five innocent school children and
wounded twenty-nine others. In January,
Patrick Purdy sprayed more than 100
bullets from a Chinese-made AKS semiautomatic rifle into a crowd of children
enjoying recess at their Stockton
elementary school. Purdy then took his
own life with a handgun.
Purdy and his young victims became
part of America's death-by-gunfire
statistics: an average of more than 30,000
deaths per year in the 1980's, including
murders, accidents and suicides with all
types of frrearms. And sadly, five times
in less than a year, mad gunmen have
invaded the sanctity of the schoolhouse,
killing and maiming students and
teachers.
Ronald
Reagan
and
Mikhail
Gorbachev may have eased ·the nuclear
arms race, but the other arms race is
raging out of control: guns.
The arming of America is increasing
dramatically on three fronts: the criminal
element, law enforcement, and ordinary
citizens. The criminal element includes
everyone from the inner city "crack"
gangs to the mentally deranged
-warriors" who shoot school children,
and from the small groups of militant
white supremacists to the ordinary street
muggers. All of these folks have, in
recent years, graduated from handguns to
much more sophisticated weaponry,
especially the Chinese-made copy of the
AK-47 assault rifle, (the rifle banned by
the Stockton City Council). These semiautomatic weapons are fast-firing,
powerful guns capable of sending bullets
through concrete walls.
The nations police forces, with their
.38 caliber handguns, are realizing they
are being hopelessly outgunned, and are
turning increasingly to various semiautomatic weapons simply for selfdefense, especially in large cities, where
members of drug gangs are willing to

shoot it out rather than go to jail.
As Americans read with horror about
sensational incidents such as drive-by
gang shootings, deranged serial killers,
armed "skinheads," gunmen attacking
school children and mall shoppers, many
decide the world has gone crazy and their
only defense is to arm themselves. They
are rushing out to buy everything from
handguns to the same type of semiautomatic assault rifles used in the
Stockton shootings.
Gunshop owners interviewed recently
in Newsweek magazine said their
customers were buying in record numbers
for self-defense, and because they feared
some tighter restrictions on the sale of
guns. As one shop owner said, "People
are rushing to buy guns before the
government takes them away."
Unfortunately, those who fear tighter
gun control have little to worry about.
Strict federal gun control regulations are
needed now more than ever before, but
two formidable forces stand in the way:
guns are an emotional issue for many
Americans, who stubbornly believe they
have a moral and constitutional right to
own guns; and the powerful lobbying
efforts of the three-million member
National Rifle Association, who comes
down hard on Congressmen and state
legislators who suggest even the mildest
forms of gun control.
For example, the NRA scored major
victories in 1988 on the federal and state
levels, when Congress voted down a plan
to require a seven-day waiting period
before buying a handgun, and Nebraska
voters changed their state's constitution to.
prevent towns and counties from enacting
strict gun-control legislation.
Gun control advocates face another
tough opponent in President Bush, a life
member of the NRA, who has asserted
that "free men and women have the right
to own a gun to protect their home." And
while guns may give many people,
especially women, a sense of security, in
many cases it becomes a false senSe.
Well-documented research shows that a
gun in the home is much more likely to
end up being used on a spouse or lover,
accidentally fired by a child, or stolen by
a house-breaker than used on a burglar in
self-defense.
Think about it --- if someone enters
your house in the middle of the night,
you may not rouse from your deep sleep

TESC Child
Care Center
too costly
by Peggy Beckelhymer
Director TESC Child Care Center
The TESC Child Care Center stopped
providing evening and event child care in
the Winter quarter of 1988 because of
extreme low usage, high cost of service,
liability
issues,
and
licensing
requirements. Since I have become
director, I've been approached by several
groups asking me to reinstate child care
service at least for events.
I've researched the liability issue with
the insurance company and lawyers and
I've figured costs required by the
licensing requirements. In any case, there
does not seem to be any feasible way to
open the Child Care Center for event
care - it's too costly and the liability is
too great.
The loss of this service saddens me
because I see our role as a service to the
college comm~nity, and to not provide
this service seems contrary to our
mission. The Child Care Center will
provide service where and when it can
within the limitations required.

S & A BOARD
COORDINATOR TRAINEE

CI.A and graffiti
don't belong here
by Hector Douglass
The records of Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) activities are not yet
complete. However the volume of
literature already compiled suggests that
the CIA has been one of the most
efficient applicants of subversion and
genocide in human history.
John
Stockwell, former CIA Chief of Station
in Africa states that during the Reagan
years, the U.S. fueled with arms, money
and training, at least 11 covert actions in
the Third World, seven regional wars,
five counter-insurgency campaigns, nine
overthrow destabilization operations, eight
attempts on the lives of world leaders
and many other miscellaneous subyersions
of democracy. The precedent (s~ce the
inception of the Cold War) for this type
of agency policy numbers in millions of
casualties among the poor, wom~n,
children and people of color; categones
that "our leadership" has rarely expressed
much concern about.
Granted the CIA has .so-called
"legitimate" information gathenng roles
that nicely compliment its more
distasteful covert operations. And the
agency does gainfully employ m~y
individuals nationwide in domestic
surveillance,
including
intelligence
operatives and recruiters among the
faculty and staff of many college
campuses (they monitor
students,
colleagues and campus activities on a
'piece-work' basis).
But when
our student-funded
newspaper, advertises the opportunity to
make this kind of "difference" in the
world we must question what is being
accomplished. Because at face value, ads
are a commercial exchange, in this
instance, CIA funds were exchanged for
a promotional message that in most
contexts would be interpreted as tacit
legitimacy for the CIA's goals and

operations. Advertising accomplishes this
type of advocacy quite successfully and
lucratively.
If it didn't pay off, it
wouldn't be employed.
Neither the student body nor the CPJ
has control over how such a message will
be interpreted. According to Stockwell,
every U.S. embassy in the world,
theoretically, has a CIA operative placed
within its diplomatic corp. The scope of
this agency's operations should serve as
a testimony to the naivete that such
messages inspire. On the other hand
Asian, Latin American and African
students and people of color have every
right to be offended by such messages,
because they add up to racism exported
as foreign policy. We do have control
over what messages we relay. And I
believe that any advocacy of the CIA's
goals and policies should be challenged.
However spray painting the CPJ
door is not what I had in mind. Graffiti
is legitimate in the barrios of El Salvador
or our inner-cities as one of the few
vehicles for expression by oppressed
groups. It is an act of resistance that
mobilizes support.
It is an act of
personal
power
that
conveys
empowerment to the larger community,
because it undermines the repressive state
and shows it to be illegitimate.
Graffiti may be an act of personal
power at Evergreen, but I do not believe
that it mobilizes support or conveys
empowerment to the community. Nor
does it undermine the hegemony of the
corporate state. Instead it is more likely
to be interpreted as a vulgar and
unsophisticated prank that covers for a
lack of eloquence and an avoidance of
direct confrontation. It often does more
to discredit a position and its advocates
than it accomplishes in terms of winning
support.

Wildlife u·nimportant
Wild trees in confusion lean towards
the high tide mark. Sharp winds drive
the clouds to the east. Sun sets. No one
about. Seagulls have left. A shrill voice
of a loon is calling upon the beach. The
bird struggles with its oiled body and
becomes weary. I carefully catch the
animal. Three waves race along the
shoreline.
I encountered many situations like
this as a volunteer rescue worker for the
oil spill on December 22. Weeks after
the incident, extensive wildlife continue
to wash ashore both dead and alive.
Damage is apparent everywhere. Why
does society continue to disturb the
harmony of nature? How much longer
can the earth withstand more abuse?
America prefers a tanker of oil over

a coast of birds.
This disaster is
evaluated through economic terms.
Corporations and people only care how
much this incident will cost them. There
is little sympathy toward the tragic losses
to the environment. the dollar has more
priority over the health of the planet.
Exactly how much is each loon worth?
Will anyone speak for the birds?
Something unusual happened when
taking the loon to the bird treatment
center. The bird gazed toward the lofty
sky and suddenly began to tremble .
Awkward sounds came from the animal- perhaps words of advice or warning.
With all lifeblood gone, the loon passed
away. Can you tell me what the loon
tried to say?

Books help students with parental questions
by Maureen Eddy
Some of the concerns students have
are not necessarily their own but those of
their parents. Therefore, I would like to
quote some of the comments taken from
Liberal Education and Careers Today by
Howard Figler.
"What do I Say to my Parents if they
want me to get out of Liberal Arts?"
Parents often have a strong orientation
towards "vocational preparation" in
college programs. They want to see their
children equippped to pursue a specific
career, so they can go to work after
college and not have to regress into
dependence upon them. This viewpoint
makes them skeptical of the liberal arts,
so they ask the uncomfortable question:
"What can you do with that?"
If you are convinced that the liberal
arts program is a better education for
you, and you believe that it will provide
you sound preparation for your future
(even though you may be unsure what
that will be), here are the kinds of
responses you can offer to your parents:

"I have compared my courses with those
of my friends who are in other fields of
study, and I am more challenged by the
liberal arts courses. They make me work
harder and I will have better learning
skills as a result of being these courses."
You can defend your choice of
liberal arts in a variety of ways but you
will also want to be open to your parents
viewpoint What kind of knowledge do
they believe you will acquire that you
cannot get in liberal arts? What are their
opinions of how best to prepare for a
career? If you agree, tell them so. If you
have a different view, based on your
exposure to business people, advice from
counselors, or something you have read,
tell them how you have developed your
perspective. This is an important
dialogue. .Your ability to communicate
your views to your parents will be an
important measure of the strength of your
conviction about staying in liberal arts."

book are: How the Book can Help You,

DTF proposes
,
.
to eliminate Evergreen s difference stands out

0 DMS

by Hilary Roggiu
WashPIRG
As a result of the growing concern
about ozone depletion, a Disappearing
Task Force (DTF) has been formed to try
to eliminate ODM's (ozone depleting
materials) from Evergreen campus.
The group has begun research on
where there are ODM's on campus. They
have found ODM's everywhere from the
styrofoam in the new gymnasiums roof,
to cleaners we use on electronic
equipment, and many other places. The
DTF also began researching alternatives
to ODM's and recapturing and recycling
CFC's (Chloroflorocarbons).
The DTF's proposal will call for the
elimination of ODM's where reasonable
alternatives exist, and for some
reasonable form of updating the policy as
more alternatives are developed. The DTF
is also going to address the issue of
Evergreens buying policies. They hope to
eliminate 1ESC' s buying of any products
that contain ODM's, as well as products
packaged in styrofoam.
Denis Snyder, the DTF's chair and
director of the bookstore and food
services, will be writing the first draft of
the DTF' S proposal this week. The DTF
will meet again to review this preliminary
document of February 27th. There will be
a public forum to open this discussion to
the entire Evergreen community on
March 6th from 12:00 to 1:00. the place
for the forum is yet to be announced. We
hope to have a fmal proposal to present
at this time.

beaten to death by a big bad book
he's trying to unhook himself from
the mechanized slum he lives in
can you hear the awful din?
where is the pavement deeper?
peeling eyes off of paper
knocking over blackboards with a
glance
something he'll have to live with
exploding light fixtures
his darkness turns to gray
mental institutions devolve
revels as the paint peels away
sitting on the freeway
the sky gestures as it melts
cats lie undead in the halls
and piper brings papal death on a stick

Just A Dream
We walk, my friend and I.
Beside steel mesh, on cracked cement.
On the other side children laugh, where
we once played.
Gray metal sound, engines race.
Mechanical rhythm pulls close.
Blue Z - cold blue twenty two.
Charged lead plunges to my belly.
Three lfttle scabs, I look to my painless
gut.
I guess my body can take the pain.
Absorb the lead - cover it up with a
scar.

The white porcelain duck
on the shelf in your kitchen
sternly disapproves of me,
but I don' t care.
The way you draw me
smacks, each time like
fresh fish unfolded from
newspaper wrapping,
pungent and mysterious.
Warn, malted drops,
sweet vinegar for spice
or the palest ale.
These are not tears,
These are not ·tears
I am crying,
These are not tears
I am crying
for you.

IN THE NAME OF PROGRESS (BLINDERS)
When I look into your eyes I see the fear that used to haunt you
before you got it under control.
It's hidden in the darkness and it's whispered in the corners
and it slowly leaves a mark upon your soul.
You think there's nothing you can do and nothing you can say
if you want to stop the sky from going black.
Just leave it to the readers with their rules and smiling faces
to save you from a last attack.
Because you grew up in a world where they say everything has happened
and you know there is no way to change the past.
So you try to buold the future in the footsteps of the present
and you try to make your good times last.
But they hid it in the ground behind a barbed wire fence it's only seen thrugh military eyes.
Afraid a time will come when it will have to crack the surface
and help you to remember all your lies.
So when you come to be of age, just tell the young the truth don't you think we're ready for a change?
they're another generation that could destroy the world or they could complete and rearrange.
Did you ever want to change. the things that we have done
In the name of progress?
By Mark T. Ladiness

Deeper and deeper into you I gaze
On that quest in search of me
To find myself in a twisted maze
Littered with love's debris
Once in that maxe I can't escape
For the walls they are too high
Torment, torture my soul you've raped
And noone hears me cry
I kick and scream deep in that abyss
As one would lost at sea
This I endure; the price of one sweet kiss
For it is in you that I lose Me.
By J. Miller
