Reagan ain't just a nice old man
Although Ronald Reagan leaves
office this week, his influence will be
felt for years, perhaps decades. His
actions in budget decisions, social
legislation,
judicial
appointments,,
foreign policy, and simply his attitude
will have a profound effect for years to
come.
Throughout the last month there has
been a lot of discussion of the Reagan
Legacy.
Most concentrate on the
legacy of Reagan the man: his warmth,
his charm, his humor. Ronald Reagan
may be one of the best liked presidents'
in recent history.
However,
his
policies
were
disastrous and they promise continued
misery.
When Ronald Reagan came to
office America had a trade surplus. We
were preparing to become a metric
country so we could better compete on
the world market. Today we are one of
the largest debtor nations and further
from using the metric system then ever.
Ironically that one of our most famous
athletes, Edwin Moses, uses the metric
system to prepare for his races because,
on his worldwide trips it is the only
measuring
system
he can
find
equipment for.
Drugs are more prevalent then ever.
This country is being destroyed by
drugs, and yet we continue to support
people linked to the drug trade, like the
Nicaraguan Contras. Reagan gave lip
service to stopping drugs but he cut the
funds for border patrol. Where was his
commitment?
We lost nearly 300 Marines in
Lebanon though there were many
indications that their mission was in
danger. Why could he not understand
the politics of that situation? Why did '
this country forgive him?
We still have hostages being held in
the Middle East.
To free those
hostages the Reagan Administration
swapped arms for hostages, the very
thing Reagan promised not to do in his
election campaign.

The American government not only
supplied weapons to Iran but we also
supplied intelligence to Iraq, Iran's
enemy. Was Reagan just interested ia
selling weapons and buying oil
regardless of the consequences?
We have weapons systems can't
perform to their design. Worse, even if

they did work they would have little
strategic importance.
The strategic
military planners don't seem to have
any conception of the kinds of
weapons systems needed. We have
spent huge amounts of money on
weapons systems with no apparent
gains in military strength, and we
violated an important treaty in the
process.
We had an administration which
lied to the American people about a
military exercise in Libya.
Not
withheld information, but lied. And
they were proud of it!
Student loans have been so
devastated that students who could
have gone to college before can't.
We have a national debt so high
new social programs aren't even
contemplated, and existing ones are in
doubt.
We have a judicial system stacked
with judges passed a litmus test about
their political ideology. These are our
future Appeals and Supreme Court
Justices.
We have given little thought to our
future energy needs or alternative
solutions. Our nuclear waste disposal
system is dreadful and radiation has
been from a number of plants.

The policy:
The Cooper Point Journal (CPJ)
editor and staff may amend or clarify
these policies.
Objective:
The CPJ editor and staff are determined to make the CPJ a student
forum for communication which is both
entertaining and informative.
Deadlines:
Calendar—Friday, noon
Articles—Friday, 3 p.m.
Letters—Monday, noon
Rules for submissions:
Submissions must be original. Submitting work which is not original is a
legal, ethical and moral violation and
an injury to those member's of the
Ever-green community who do complete original work.
Submissions should be brought to the
CPJ offices on an IBM formatted
diskette. Any word processing file compatible with WordPerfect 4.2 is acceptable. Disks should include a doublespaced printout, with the author's
name, daytime phone number1 and address. Disks will be returned as soon
as possible.
For information about other types of
computer- submissions, call the office at
866-6000 ext. 6213. Some help is also
available at the office.

because of his "optimism". But it was
less optimism than it was a blindness
to reality. I don't know if this country
will recover from Reagan's Legacy in
my lifetime.
This past week it snowed again.
A lot. I pulled out an old story on
snow I wrote a while ago but as usual
I've used up enough space that I don't
have room. Watch for it next week.
It's really important that you write
your thoughts for 1990-91 programs
(the Trial Balloon Proposals) as soon
as possible and turn them in. The
teachers have been brain-storming on
programs and they've come up with
some dynamite proposals, but it would
be nice if some students got involved
too. What do you want to do? What
would be useful to you? What do you
miss? Please help.
The staff and I have been thinking
a lot about the CPJ lately, what its
role is in the Evergreen community

and how to best fulfill that role. A
couple of weeks ago we cleaned up the
office and I had the opportunity to look
through some old issues of the CPJ. It
was a heartening experience, editors are
forever begging for writers and artists.
I will share some of our thoughts on
the paper next week.
This paper was a labor of love by
three people: Vikki Michalios, Suzette
Williams, and Peter Bunch. It's hard to
thank them enough for their, time and
effort in producing this paper. But I
will try. Thank you.

inch mar-gins will be accepted. If you
are unable to comply with the submission requirements for any reason, contact the editor or managing editor for
assistance. Before undertaking timeconsuming projects for the CPJ, it's a
good idea to call the CPJ office about
deadlines, future plans and suitability
of materials.
Because the CPJ is a college
newspaper-, priority will be given to
student submissions; however-, all community members are encouraged to
contribute.
Letters:
Letters will be accepted on all subjects. They will be checked for- libel and
may be edited for- grammar, spelling
and space. Letters should be 300 words
or less. Every attempt is made to
publish as many letters as possible;
however, space limitations and
timeliness may influence publication.
Letters do not represent the opinions
of the CPJ staff or- editor-.
Advertising:
All forms of advertising will be
considered.
Objectivity:
The editor does not believe objectivity is possible. Instead, the editor and
staff believe in fair-ness. We will make
every effort to get as many viewpoints
on a subject as possible. If you have an
opinion about something you've read in
the paper, please write and tell us.

Rejoice in solidarity without blind dogmatism
To the Demonstrators of Unity,
Bravo. I found the demonstration
quite moving and inspirational. The
speakers raised issues mat are or ought
to be of concern to every person that
cares about the future. Thank you for
this important beginning.
I would like to add something that I
believe to be important as well if
perhaps unpopular. What little I know
of skinheads, or bigots in general leads
me to believe that many of them are
poor and not educated in human
diversity.
I have listened to racists on radio
talk shows, heard their hatred and felt
sorry for them. They may be the
"enemy" but they are casualties as well.
These people are casualties of our
institutions and the beliefs that justify
them. I see these people as victimizers
and victims.
Many of us are familiar with the
mistake of "Blaming the victim" but in
this instance we cringe at the thought.

What about their wrongdoing? Where
can I direct my anger if not at the
individuals who seem to be the
embodiment of the evils that I detest?
I agree that it is easier to fix blame
and anger on individuals but at what
consequence? I fear, as Joe Olander
warned, that we might become like our
enemies by forgetting their humanity as
they have forgotten ours.
While I
would prefer to blame and exact
retribution, I vaguely recognize that this
is not the way.

I claim no religious affiliation yet I
can agree with Reverend Martin Luther
King, Jr. that we must love our
enemies. This does not mean that we
lack moral commitment or that
everything is relative.
What the
skinheads and others like them do is
wrong and we must struggle to put an
end to it. We must forge a moral
identity and be willing to act upon it,
but let this commitment not be tainted
by hypocrisy or blind us with

dogmatism and self-righteousness.
I participated in the demonstration
because I believe in a future where
there can be justice for all people which
means that people can be free not only
to celebrate uniqueness but also to
rejoice in human solidarity. During the
demonstration I saw a flicker of what I
hope our future will hold.

Rejecting skins means playing their game
What disturbed me most about the
Dec 1 CPJ letter titled: "Skinheads on
Campus?" was that its point of view
exhibited a fear of people based on their
personal appearance, a fear related to the
prejudices of those that the letter was
critical of, namely neo-nazis and KKK
members.
These groups are perhaps

embodiments of fear and their doctrine is
to promote it in others, but this fear is
not the rational sort of fear that keeps one
from getting hurt; rather, it is the irrational
fear of another's race or religion.
Reacting to the above mentioned groups
with more irrational fear is playing their
game, feeding what could be called
neurosis, fighting fire with fire. These
people shouldn't be feared so much as
pitied and someday cured not by force but
by understanding.
We all have irrational fears and will
have for as long as we can be called
human, but we don't always have to act
on them. The best we can do with

irrational fear sometimes is to at least be
aware of it. To be afraid of someone's
bald head is an irrational fear.
Yes, I have shaved my head but the
condition of my scalp is unimportant; it
has as much to do with neo-nazis as it
does with Buddhist monks whom I
sympathize with a thousand times more.
I'm acquainted with some of the others
around town who have recently lightened
their heads of hair and they happen to be
kind and somewhat wise people. My bet
is that if you introduce yourself to a
stranger with a shaved head, you'll be
glad you did.
Andy Kennedy

Missing weathervanes
were
out of
alignment
It is reprehensible that the
weathervanes
on
campus
were
vandalized. I, in fact, was so impressed
with one of them that I inquired of the
maker about purchasing it and found I
was third in line for that honor.
However much I liked them as art,
I was appalled that these were actually
being used as reliable weather vanes.
Many of them are not designed to
move easily with the wind. One in
particular was very stiff and difficult to
turn. With a few exceptions , they were
not aerodynamically designed to point

in the correct direction of the wind (ie,
the weathervane could be pointing into
or against the wind.) Worst of all, a
vast majority were not lined up
correctly with the compass points, so
how on earth were these people taking
accurate readings of wind direction?
Just because something is made in
an artistic manner doesn't mean it
shouldn't be functional. Quite the
contrary, I find that it becomes more
beautiful by being useful.

Opinion:

Student groups are Evergreen's segregation
is called a "Woman of Color" and a
"First Person".
, At least that is who I am told I am
by much of the mail I receive from
Evergreen. I am half Korean and part
Native American. The simple fact that
I checked the boxes marked "female"
and "Asian/Pacific-Islander" on my
application to Evergreen automatically
made me a member of two special
interest groups which I did not elect to
be included in, and that fundamentally
further separate whites from people of
color.
I realize that for many people,
these groups are a source of
empowerment and cultural identity, but
it doesn't end there. At Evergreen,
groups such as these are a mean by
which people who are socially,
culturally,
and
economically
disenfranchised from white mainstream
culture can gather together and institute
a form of racial "segregation" (think of
all the nasty implications of that
word!), thus only giving further
legitimacy to the mainstream white
view of people of color as .separate,
"The Other".
I would guess that 80 to 90
percent of the racist ideas concerning
women of color are negative as they
relate to work, life, and freedom of
thought and action.
Subtly or
blatantly, I am aware every day that I
am a non-white woman. It profoundly
affects my everyday life and the
people close to me. Really. But I
won't let it handicap me or make me
"special". It only makes me more
attuned to how people may view me,
and urges me to prove wrong the
damaging stereotypes which concern
me.
In her conclusion Jean stated, on
racism: "I will not just stand by and

by Sheila Johnson
I am writing in response to a letter
written to the CPJ, published December
6, 1988, by Jean Yang. Jean wrote
about the signs you often see along the
freeway that say "All-America City"
(not "All-American City", as stated in
the CPJ.)
Since the letter was
published over a month ago I'll
reiterate, briefly, what she said.
Jean wondered, twice, if "AllAmerica" was an indication that a given
city was populated predominately by
Caucasians. After this, she went on, at
some length, to describe her feelings,
knowledge, and experiences, as KoreanAmerican woman, with racism. This
included her sister's experiences with
racism in New York, the internment of
Japanese Americans during World War
II, and a lengthy, justified, and rather
loud discussion of the unfairness of the
popular mainstream attitude that Asian,
Latino, Afro, and Native Americans are
not American. Jean's reaction to these
signs was obviously negative.
I spoke with the City of Olympia
concerning these signs. They have
nothing, nothing, nothing to do with
race. The signs are funded by private
businesses and given to selected cities
on the basis of how "livable" they are
and on the quality of the goods and
services available in the city.
Jean saw in these signs racism,
white ethnocentrism, white separatism,
and the social and economic insulation
of the white-in-appearance from people
of color. At least that is what I
understood from her article.
Jean's
feelings were a product of three
important characteristics:
she is a
person, a person of color, and of the
female gender. I can readily empathize
with Jean's negative feelings toward
racism because I, too, am a person who

hypocritical for my tastes. Damn good
thing I'm not a white male saying these
things. No one would listen.
I refuse to put a protective bag over
my head, place red arrows all around
myself in order to state the belief that I
am somehow "special", and point
fingers at those who have supposedly
"downtrodden" me. I'm tired of so
many of the separatist, "Evergreen
orthodox" factions. It seems like so
much intellectual and
racial
masturbation. If you choose to hate,
you choose to absolve yourself of
responsibility
to change things.
Separatism and hate are the tools of
supremacy groups.
Any basis for
equality begins with mutual and shared
respect.
Don't oppress yourself.
Otherwise you serve to perpetuate
racism and further become a victim of
the racism directed at you.
One more thing. Jane said she eats
apple pie and hot dogs like everyone
'Separatism and hate

accepted into the legitimate ring of

Chevy. If food and cars are all this

America is just a huge mess anyway.

sounds a little too racist and America, my ass

let it go unnoticed, i I refuse to
complacently accept it. I will not
tolerate it. I can only learn to deal
with it." It seems that by Jean's
choice to "deal with it", she is
complacently accepting and tolerating
racism. For all practical purposes, she
is standing by and letting racism go
unnoticed. In my opinion, the choice
to simply "deal with" racism is entirely
defeatist and rather childish.
How does a person "deal with"
racism? By being racist right back?
While it is good and healthy to
celebrate the richness of your own
culture and other cultures, it is quite
another thing to segregate yourself into
a faction based on separatism, shared
complaints, righteousness, and some
element of shared hatred.

Japanese-American reparations can't hide
200 years of Afro-American skeletons
by Carol B. Hall
The closet of American history is
full of the kinds of skeletons bad
memories are made of: demons that
range from bloodthirsty wars to vicious
lynchings. Many Americans would
prefer to keep the closet door closed
and forget their country was founded
with firearms and flourished on racial
hatred. But Congress recently removed
one of those skeletons from the closet,
dusted it off and examined it, and it's
ugly presence reminded me of an even
larger skeleton in America's closet.
I'm referring to the bill recently
passed by Congress and signed by
President Reagan to make restitution
payments to the families of Japanese
Americans who were forced into
internment camps during World War II.
The bill provides for the newly-formed
Office of Reparations Administration to
dole out a total of $1.25 billion, with
$20,000 allowed each former internee or
surviving family members.
About 62,000 of the 120,000
Japanese Americans and permanent
resident aliens of Japanese descent who
were rounded up and placed in
internment camps between 1941 and

1946 are still alive.
The legislation acknowledges "the
fundamental injustice of the evacuation,
relocation and internment," which was
ordered by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, endorsed by Congress, and
carried out by the Army in an
atmosphere of irrational fear of people
who happened to look Japanese.
Most internees lost everything they
owned. Families were uprooted and
separated. Lives were disrupted. All in
the name of racial fear and hatred
disguised as "national security." And
while $20,000 cannot possibly begin to
make amends for all that damage to
each individual who suffered internment
for the sin of having yellow skin, the
bill at least makes an effort, however
feeble, to apologize to the people of
Japanese ancestry.' But the bill sailed
through Congress for another reason as
well. It benefits the U.S. government at
least as much as it benefits the victims
of internment. It allows the white man
to gracefully admit his gross mistake
and miscarriage of justice, albeit 40
years too late. It gives him permission
to clear his conscience and remove
another skeleton from his closet, while

looking like a really generous guy in
the process.
And
while
apologies
and
reparations to the internment victims
were long overdue, this story left me
with one huge question, "What about
the African American?" Wasn't there a
lot of "fundamental injustice" at work
during 200 years of slavery? What of
the millions of Africans who suffered
and died in the filthy cargo holds of
slave ships crossing the Atlantic? What
about the physical and psychic trauma
and abuse heaped upon African
Americans for more than 300 years on
these shores?
The condition of Black America as
we near the 21st century is deeply
rooted in the "fundamental injustice" of
centuries
of
American
slavery,
segregation,
violence,
fear
and
ignorance. And still it continues. What
about
reparations
for
African
Americans?
Many black activists of the 1960's,
including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
raised the issue of restitution for black
Americans.
Perhaps
the ensuing
affirmative action programs of the
1970's were the white liberal's feeble

attempt at addressing the issue. But as
White America's backlash against
affirmative action testified, they are
still not ready to comprehend, much
less admit, the atrocities committed
over centuries against innocent people
whose only crime was black skin.
So when the U.S. government
offers restitution to Native Americans,
Japanese Americans, or any other
ethnic groups, I won't deny them their
due, for they too have suffered for
their skin color. But I will also let
these occasions remind me of the
severity of America's deep-seated
hatred of the African, whose blood
built this nation.
When someone is suffering from
an addiction, such as alcohol or drug
dependency, they cannot begin to
recover until they admit that they
indeed have a serious problem. Such is
the case with America, whose
individual and institutional racism
toward those of African heritage has
become so addictive over the centuries
that she cannot recognize the problem,
and there fore cannot begin to seek a
cure.

Come rally against Bush's agenda this Saturday
by David Abeles,
On Saturday, January 21st, at noon
in Olympia's Sylvester Park (7th and
Capitol Way) there will be a rally
protesting the Bush agenda. Speakers
will
address
issues
such
as
homelessness, reproductive rights, and
U.S. intervention abroad, especially El
Salvador.
The rally's purpose is to build unity
among groups that work for justice here
and abroad. The basic premise of the
rally is that what goes on abroad under
the tutelage of Uncle Sam relates
directly to injustice at home. If we
understand that premise then in our
organizing, educating, and actions we
living in the belly of the beast will not
feel isolated and overwhelmed working
for social change.
El Salvador is being emphasized
because it looms as George Bush's first
foreign policy crisis of 1989.
As
Mercedes Delgado of the FMLN (The

Farabundo Marti front for National
Liberation) said in her most recent visit
to TESC this past fall, "1988-89 will be
critical years in El Salvador and we're
gonna.go for it,"
That the people of El Salvador are
in a pre-insurrectional period.
The
coming months may well see very
intense struggle in El Salvador.
Unlike eight years ago, however,
most of the mass organizations and all
of the armed left are unified under the
command of the FMLN, and are
militarily strong as ever-operating in 13
of the 14 provinces, and control at
times up to one third of El Salvador.
On the political front, the high
command of the FMLN recently met
with various heads of Latin American
states on a well-publicized tour. The
purpose of these visits was to
emphasize their desire to sit down with
the government to work out a
negotiated end to the war.

New Assistant Dean:

Gomez brings no rose colored glasses here
by Suzette Williams
Jose Gomez was recently hired at
Evergreen as Assistant Dean. His
primary responsibilities are recruiting
faculty of color and helping to develop
the school's international
studies
program. Gomez has worked in nonprofit organizations for twenty years
and sees his current position as a way
to combine his interest and experiences
in both academia and administration.
Gomez received his BA in Spanish
Literature from the University of
Wyoming and his law degree from
Harvard Law School. He spent five
years working with the United Farm
Workers, two of those as Executive
Assistant to Cesar Chavez. He has also
been Executive Director for the Human
Rights Foundation and
Executive
Director of La Raza Legal Center.
In his twenty years of activism,
Gomez's goal has been to make a
difference. "My venture into Nicaragua
in 1966 really started me on the path of
activism. In many ways I consider
myself to have been born politically in
Nicaragua. It was a real shocker for me
because I saw US foreign policy at its
worst. In Nicaragua my rose colored
glasses were shattered."
After a year in Central America,
Gomez came back to the United States
where he began to question the Vietnam
war. This sidetracked him from the
original goal of a PhD in Spanish and
began his twenty years of activism.

The anti-war movement led him to
question his role in society as a
Mexican
American
and
society's
attitudes towards Chicanes. "This led
me to involvement in Chicano causes,"
he explains. "My motivating concern
was to be involved with something that
made a difference. I became very
excited with what Cesar Chavez was
doing, because I had been a farmworker
myself between the ages of 9 and 17 in
the sugar beet fields in Wyoming."
Gomez worked with Cesar Chavez
in helping farmworkers gain better
living conditions and the right to have
collective bargaining. He says he was
privileged to work with Chavez. "Those
two years have without exception been
the most educational, the most
enriching, the most satisfying years of
my life. What was educational was
learning from this great man what it
meant to be non-violent, what it meant
to organize the powerless."
Gomez says he was attracted to
Evergreen
because
of
its
interdisciplinary approach, but also for
what he calls the school's academic
freedom. "What attracted me to
Evergreen was what I see as a political
perspective here, in truly allowing
intellectual
freedom,
academic
freedom."
When Gomez saw the position of
Academic Dean advertised, he looked
Evergreen up in a directory of colleges
and was impressed by the student

Selective Service beefs up
aid and student tracking plan
by John Mclain
For the past six years, individuals
who are required to register with the
Selective Service must have done so to
be eligible to receive federal student
financial aid.
The U.S. Department of Education
has taken steps recently to ensure
compliance with the provisions of this
law, commonly referred to as the
Solomon Amendment.
In recent months, the Education
Department has been conducting data
tape matches with the Selective Service.
The Department has been submitting
information about all Federal Student
Aid applicants to the Selective Service.
The Selective Service then informs the
Education Department of the registration
status of those students who are
required to register and confirms the

Prepare for the

GRE
[CLASSES STARTING SOON|

registration exemption of those who
aren't required.
Students who are required to
register and have not will have their
names
and
pertinent
information
submitted to the Justice Department for
prosecution.
Before these stepped-up efforts took
effect, students only had to certify their
correct registration status with their
financial aid office prior to receiving
federal funding. No information was
shared
between
the
Education
Department and the Selective Service.
There are two primary ways the
Education Department can receive this
information. The first is when students
complete an Application for Federal
Student Aid.
The second is when
students file the Financial Aid Form of
the College Scholarship Service and
release their information to the Federal
Government for consideration for a Pell
Grant.
Students who do not want the
Selective Service to receive information
abut them should not apply for any
federal financial aid.

comments. "I knew from the student
comments that it had to be a very
different kind of institution. The more
I read about the college, the more
excited I became about what it has to
offer."
He says the College has made a
commitment to becoming multi-cultural
and that he can help it accomplish the
goal. "I think being a minority (I'm
Chicano) I can add to the multicultural spectrum here." Gomez also
says he can bring an international
perspective to the College because of
his time abroad.
He
was
a
Fulbright Scholar in Nicaragua, served
in the Peace Corps in Brazil, and
taught high school Spanish in Costa
Rica.
This commitment to making a
difference continues in his work at
Evergreen. "I read a book called the
Evergreen Experiment some time back.
I knew the college was innovative, it

seemed to be on the cutting edge of
educational
innovation, and that
attracted me. Many universities and
colleges have become very stale, very
rigid.
Professors
become
robots,
students become robots and go on to
become robots of society, which J
think we need less of."
Gomez was pleased with the
Demonstration of Unity on campus last
week, and says he wasn't surprised to
see problems of racism, homophobia,
etc. at Evergreen. "The Evergreen State
College is not an exception in society
in terms of a lot of the problems that
society has. I did not expect to come
to a Utopia where all society's
problems were solved. If somebody
would have told me that this was a
Utopia where those problems did not
exist, I wouldn't have come here
because I want to be in a place where I
can make a difference."

Financial Aid Awareness
Week starts on Monday

by John Mclain
It is time to apply for financial aid.
Governor Booth Gardner has proclaimed
January 23 - 27 as Washington Student
Financial Aid Awareness Week.
To
celebrate this event, the Office of
Financial Aid is sponsoring a number of
activities to promote the financial
application process here at Evergreen.
Students may pick up the new
forms for 1989-90 next week at a table
staffed by financial aid assistants. The
table will be open from 12 to 1 p.m. on •
the second floor of the CAB from
January
23-27.
Financial
aid
applications for next year are available
before then in the Office of Financial
Aid.
The
Financial
Aid
office
recommends that students carefully
complete and mail their financial aid
forms with the appropriate processing
fee no later than March 1, 1989. This
will help insure that students' processed
forms are received at Evergreen by the
April 15 priority filing deadline.
"Because funding is limited, it is
critical that students apply early for
financial aid," says Georgette Chun,
Director of Financial Aid at Evergreen.

Students whose applications are received
after April 15 may not be given full
consideration for all financial aid
programs.
Financial
aid
staff
will be
conducting workshops for students and
parents on how to complete the
financial aid form.
Anyone with
questions about financial aid programs
or
the
applications
process
is
encouraged to attend. The workshops
will be held February 2, 6, 14, 22 from
12 to 1 p.m. in Library 3205.
In late January, financial aid staff
will survey a sample of the student
population about living costs in the
greater Olympia area. The information
gathered from this survey will be used
in calculating student budgets for the
1989-90 school year.
There will also be a state-wide
hotline staffed by financial aid
professionals
from
throughout
Washington. Toll free calls will be
accepted from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on
January 23-27 at 1-800-356-6924.
The Office of Financial Aid
welcomes inquiries. It is open daily
from 8 - 1 2 p.m. and from 1 - 5 p.m.

The Demonstration of
Unity last Thursday was an
ultimate success! All of us
involved are grateful that
such positive energy and
support was exhibited by
the students, faculty, and
administration.
It's reassuring to know at
least two of the essential
elements of life (unity and
togetherness) are within our
grasp.
The fact this
campus
was able to
promote this amazing event
shows that if we continue
to put our efforts together
almost anything can be
accomplished.
Those of
us
who
organized
this fantastic
demonstration
already
have been thanked by
those of you who took the
time to care about the
issues of concern which
called for this event in the
first place. Now its time to
thank all of you, and to let
you know you're the ones
who made the rally a true
success!

Letters:

Self-imposed censorship destroys freedom
When I think of Evergreen words
such as independence, infilfvidw^Jisjav
"do your own thing" come to mind.
But on closer look it appears that
student censorship is rampant, especially
when it comes to the arts.
Take, for example, last year when
one of the male students working in
Studio Rrojects was asked to design a
sculptural piece from a natural material
with a moveable part. His choice was
a beautifully hand sculptured walking
stick made from the limb of a tree, in
the form of woman's body with a
moveable, tiny door in the handle.
The evening before his presentation
he received two phone calls: one from
a woman stating that his piece was
degrading to women and that he had
better not present it in class, the other,
at 2:00 a.m., was from a man telling
him that he'd better not show his
sculpture. The student didn't want to
make waves and so he didn't show his
work.
When I discovered what had taken
place I asked the student to bring his
work, and upon viewing i% it did
appear to be as he had designed it, a
woman's body. I asked him how he
came up with his design nd he told me
that originally he had found branch in a
very natural women-like figure and

dectded to expand that idea and design
" his own.
He noted that his sculpture was
, definitely sexual, but very sensual, with
a softness and beauty to it. He didn't
think, as the female caller indicated that
the walking stick represented, "Man
placing woman below or under him,"
but rather he thought of the woman as
a strong support on which he could
rely.
This
week another form of
censorship appears to have taken place.
There
is
currently
exhibit
of
photographs from of Summerworks III
program on display in the CAB
building. Two of the photographs, one
of them mine, were stolen.
My
reasoning of a self-imposed censorship
spawns from the fact that at a glance
both pictures had women either nude or
in light coverings.
If anyone had
stopped and viewed them closely they
would have seen the power, beauty, and
structural
and
emotional
content.
Nothing degrading or derogatory.
I wasn't upset that I lost a
photograph, because I feel
it's
important to get people to feel my
images, and it appears that someone
certainly felt something. What bothers
me is this act of censorship from
someone who assumes that their one-

Recent survey results show
Evergreeners don't have
much sex, sports
by Barrel W. Riley
I have a close friend who remarked
that Evergreeners are so into control
and empowerment that many of them
must have had divorced parents.
A recent survey of Evergreen
freshmen showed that 40% of them
have divorced or separated parents,
compared with a national norm of 21%.
These are the types of results which
have come from recent Evergreen
surveys.
The picture of the "typical"
Evergreen freshman, according to the
survey, matches some of the comments
around campus.
For instance, Evergreeners don't
view themselves as very appealing
sexually (compared to the national
norm), nor do they come to Evergreen
to get married.
In other words,
Evergreeners don't come to party or
have sex, they come to study.
(However, Evergreeners do not want to

prohibit homosexuality.)
The talk of apathy is born out by
the lack of a commitment to
volunteering (compared to the national
norm.)
There is a lack ot interest in sports
or any type of exercise.
You may have heard the stories
about the perpetual Evergreen students
who drops out and comes back.
.Evergreeners are more likely to think
they can drop out temporarily.
Evergreeners don't go to college to
get better J9bs.
They came to get
smarter.
A recent survey
talks about
student satisfaction with the various
services around campus. In the next
issue of the CPJ there will be a
discussion of that survey's results. The
agencies which show lower satisfaction
levels have suggested that a campus
dialogue begin to improve their services
to the community. Please watch for it.

sided view is correct and didn't have
the courage to confront me or the
other artist about our interpretation and
feelings
before
they stole
the
photographs, and took censorship into
their own hands.

What kind of freedom are
Evergreen students trying to achieve
when it comes in the form of
repression?

"totally exterminate the horde" of trade

Sign that the "centrist" government
of Jose Napoleon Duarte cannot
continue much longer is the turmoil
which is resulting from Duarte's
diagnosis of terminal cancer.
His
faltering regime, which is supported by
both major parties in this country, has
seen
his
partythe
Christian
Democrats- to splinter into fighting
factions. Duarte is just a figurehead
for the real power of the oligarchy,
and military .with it's death squads that
freely roam the country.
It seems
now, without Duarte, that the fascist
ARENA party will win the elections in
mid-March and carry out with a fury
their "mandate" to kill thousands of
people working for social change as
well as anyone sitting or standing in
their way.

Career development:

Internships pan impact your career choices
by Maureen Eddy
When I began this column, my
purpose was to inform you on what we
do, what you can do and how we can '
help you.
Some things deserve
repeating.
Our Career Resource Library has
information pertaining to graduate
schools, testing, career and job search,
employer files, international study,
travel and employment abroad. Many
of our materials can be checked out.
We have a Job Board that is
updated every day that lists job
openings from all over the state, nation
and world.
In addition, we have
Alumni Career Educators who are
TESC
alums
who
have
volunteered to talk with students about
their careers and who will serve as a
network.
For those of you who are not
focused on a specific career we have
SIGIPlus that is a computerized career
planning and assessment program. Our
counselors are available to address
personal needs for individuals.
Workshops are constantly being
offered throughout the year such as
Jobs Search, Resume Writing and
Interviewing Techniques.
We strive to maintain the most upto-date career information possible.

According to our latest Spotlight
publication an interesting article states
that, "in 1970-71, men received three
bachelor's degrees for every two
obtained by women. But in 1981-82
the tables turned and women garnered
more bachelor's degrees than men."
Women continue to dominate the
fields of education, foreign languages,
archival sciences and more than 60
percent of the degrees in health
sciences, public
affairs, visual
performing arts, and social sciences.
They have made significant gains in
business
and
management, law,
computer
and
natural
sciences.
However, men still earn 85 percent of
the engineering technologies degrees.
Whenever I conduct my Resume
Writing workshops, I remind students
under the heading of "Experience" that
Internships are of equal value.
Although our office primarily lists job
openings, we often receive internship
announcements as well. Some of the
internships are paid positions.
Since our office is located next to
the Co-Op Education office who
handles all the internship vacancies for
our students, we send our listings to
their office so that students can obtain
all the information on internships in
one area. Consequently, since "jobs"

Tourist is powerful, potent, wry

••-

by David Wagner
Last Sunday night was cold and
drizzly, but at least we got a great
parking space. I saw The Accidental
Tourist, based on the book of the same
title by Anne Tyler, starring William
Hurt and some female co-star. Erika
says it was Kathleen Turner, but I can't
remember. She kind of looked like Glen
Close if she had a perm. But then the
movie would have been The Accidental
Fatal Tourist, so I guess it was
Kathleen Turner. The Accidental Tourist
is a strong and powerful film laced
with potent symbolism and humor.
There wasn't much of a plot (I'm a
critic, I have to say something
negative), but it didn't matter. The film
was serious in the sense that it dealt
with many life issues and universal
truths. It made me think, and you know

how much effort, that takes.
You are a tourist on this planet
earth. All tourists carry their luggage
around wherever they go. Never travel
with anything you can't live without,
• you may" loose your luggage. All
experiences in life are valuable, there
are no regrets. Letting go, acceptance,
change, innocence, death. Take life as it
comes.
I highly recommend this film. The
Accidental Tourist is not an action
packed blockbuster with lots of special
effects. Nor is it a shallow comedy.
Nor is it in black and white. The
Accidental Tourist is now showing at
The Capital Mall Cinemas. The cost is
only $2.50 on Tuesdays for the general
public and on Thursdays for students
with validated I.D. Enjoy!

and "internships" are so closely related,
we share each others information.
For example, Betty Lochner, the
Coordinator of Co-Op showed me a
copy of a publication that was sent to
her office recently entitled, "How to
Find a Public Relations Job in the
Puget Sound Area". This is a guide
for interns and first-time job seekers.
It has a listing of firms offering
internships
and
informational
interviews. We have ordered this
publication for our office.
Betty also mentioned that they
continue to receive many wonderful
internship opportunities. It has been
my experience
working in Career
Development how significant an
internship can impact your career
choices. I encourage anyone who is

interested in exploring an internship as
a part of their academic and career
objectives to stop by the Co-Op office
and learn more abont the internship
program.

Grimoire seeks submissions that invoke fear
Grimoire is a new dark fantasy
magazine in the Olympia area, seeking
writers, artists and illustrators from the
Pacific
Northwest
(although
all
submissions
will
be
considered
regardless of origin.)
If you are familiar with the work of
H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Poe, Robert
McKammon, Clive Barker or other
specialists in terror, you may know
what we are looking for: gothic horror.
Too many times we have had our
'horror strings' pulled by crusty tureens
of teenage body parts hurled to and fro
by heavy-breathing masked assailants
wielding well-polished trowels and hoes.
There are other things that terrify us;
smaller things that creep under our shell

of invulnerability better than dozens of
crimson-covered coeds.
There is that tiny, wriggling piece
of you that flinches when it drives by a
cemetery or cringes at the thought of a
simple blood drawing.
There are
pockets in us that even we are afraid to
face at night. Some people brush off
these fears and label them phobias, but
that still does not distill the terror that
they feel when confronted with them.
We want you to examine your own
fears, to see what makes you sweat and
shake and to share it with us.
Writers are asked to submit
manuscripts double-spaced and typed
(computer printouts fine, too!) with their
names, addresses and phone numbers at

the top of each page.
Illustrators will be expected to draw
small, high contrast, black and white
illustrations for accepted stories and/or
poems. Illustrators should keep in mind
that their illustrations will be creating as
much of an atmosphere as the words of
the story.
Artists should contact us at either
address if they are interested in
submitting work.
Please be sure to accompany all
submissions with a self-addressed,
stamped envelope
to ensure its,
relatively safe return.
If you think it'll help, send candy
or money (this line was put in to win a
bet.)
