Acoustic problems plague Sonic Youth show
by D. Gudaitis
What to say about the Sonic Youth
show in Seattle. Well ... on my way up to
the show in an unheated VW bus I
listened to their new album, Daydream
Nation. That was the ftrstl'd heard of any
of their stuff. It rocked.
The show, however, lacked much of
the energy of even the most pathetic of
drunken dorm parties. Union Station
looked a little like Frederick and Nelson's
at Chrlsunastime with white walls and
white lights. It soWlded even worse. The
acoustics flew up into the high arched
ceilings and stayed there leaving the
audience with pathetic garbled muck.
The story gets worse. Mudhoney
played a tiny twenty minute set while
flocks of preteens dressed in black stalked
the floors in studied sullen expressions.
Most of them had been dropped off by
their parents. The beer gardens were a
good for a hearty laugh since a twelve
ounce can, I repeat, can, of Bud cost two
fifty. I'd rather die. thank you.
The Screaming Trees with Olympia's
own Donna on bass played a too shon
throbbing set that had hipsters in the Pit
writhing for more. Your truly stayed

Sonic Youth lived up to all the
rantings of their adoring fans.
Unf<xtunately, folks in the front like me
could not hear the vocals even though we
were five feet from the stage. The show
really was not worthy of the twelve ftfty
price of admission. My advice to readers
is to avoid future shows at the Union
Station unless the acoustic conditions
change there.

Governance is just rhetoric without news
by Janis Byrd, Interim Advisor
What is news?
Is it the editorial page of the New
York Times ? Is it the corpomte look of
USA Today or the 30- and 45-second
headlines from the electronic media?
Here at Evergreen, news includes
picking up your weekly copy of the
CPl. And when you do you will find
everything a really small, really busy
staff can accumulate by volunteer effort.
That's generally news slDries, the
items--though limited in number--that
inform
the students
and
greater
Evergreen community about a minute
piece of campus life. For example,
Suzette Williams'
update on the
Untersherer lawsuit was news. Kirk
Jones article about the possible problem
with carpet fumes in the library
building carpet in the early part of last
quarter was news.
News is also the stuff you never
hear anything ' about such as the lab
annex building being completed, the
various speakers invited to campus, the
Indian Media conference, and what the
Students and Activities office is doing
with your money.
Unfortunately, Greeners lack interest
in campus news. This is obvious from
the lack of news stories submitted to
the paper and the dearth of volunteers
who come through the door looking for
news story ass ignments. I wish I could
tell you how many students nave come
to the staff and said they want to write
for the paper, under the assumption
they write a column about X, Y or Z.
For some reason, Greeners don ' t
give a damn about good reporting; what
they care about is having their say and
Slating .!.heir opinions. Most of the
mat e rial
in
the
CPJ
is
community-member-submitted oplDlons
about every topic under the sun. That's
great, but there 's no consistency, there's
seldom any context, the stories usually
aren't substantiated by well-docwnented
fac ts, and very few arc well written.
. Greeners would' rather spend their ·
time making posters and inviting people
to meetings about governance. But what
good is a mecting about governance
when no one reports it? Most
Greener-talk about governance uses
terms like "student empowerment,"
"community," and "autonomy." Yet, the
nitty -gritty
of
governance
is
participating in decision making on
everyday junk like ' student group
budgets. Yet no one seems to care that
for most of the first quarter the S & A
board, which allocates and spends a
several-million-dollar
budget,
had
vacancies. That was news. So is what
the board did at its bi-weekly
meetings. However, not o ne individual
was willing to attend the meetings and
write a brief news article about what
happened to the money or coordinator
hirings or all the other business the

Evergreen, an informed student body

board conducts.
Governance is disappearing task
forces (DTFs) on decisions like the
styrofoam DTF now being formed.
We've yet to hear from someone
willing to coordinate news ' about the
DTFs that are in existence, let alone
what they are accomplishing. What if
they aren't accomplishing anything?
The student body should be told.
Governance is serving on the
President's Advisory Board, which by
ine way, has had vacancies for most of
first quarter, too. Could it be no one
cares to work on this board? I f so, that
should be news. Could it be students
feel it's ineffective? If so, that too is
news. I tend to think, however, that
folks just don't care.
Governance is caring about what
kind of buildings are being built,
knowing how much they cost and what
materials they are being built with (i.e.
styrofoam).
Yet
we
have
no
reporter-types who are willing 10
follow projects like buildings with any
tenac ity and write about the process
involved. Why? It must be easier to
complain about the gym after it's
already in the project form, otherwise a
reporter-type student would have heard
the rumors and attended the meetings,
looked at the proposed plans, reported
the issues while they were still issues
and not when they had become

Reflections on Nature were vandalizeQ,
angering many of the students who had
worked all quarter designing and
building their weathervanes as part of
their program's requirements.
The damage happened between four
and six in the morning, it is known,
because a person from the program
came out at four and saw things were
fme; when he came out again at six,
four of the weatliervanes by the dorms
were damaged, among them the plastic

I am one the "male students with

have seen roaming the campus. I am
not a Skinhead; that is to say, I do not
consider myself a member of the social
group that goes by that name.
It does
not bother me when, as is fairly
common, somebody refers 10 me as a
Skinhead.
What does bother me is
when someone such as yourself implies
that I am a fascist or a White
Supremacist simply because I have very

relatives taught you the responsibility of
freedom. I feel that you could learn an

appearance alone.
Your letter was reminiscent of the
hatred and fear that ran rampant in this
country in the past two decades when
this by enhancing the campus and, in
!lie case of the functional ones, served
to allow observance of wind directions.
Each student keeps a natural history
journal, in which the students, having
recorded their observations on the wind
directions, can predict the wind's effects
on the migratory patterns of birds:
where they feed; where they roost, etc.
Now, many of the weathervanes
have been taken down, to possibly be .
put back up again later in the year.
Originally they were meant to stay up
until June. This quarter, the students
will tum to constructing birdhouses.
Hopefully, this time the students'
projects will escape from harm, but
there are no guarantees.

Recently I have noticed Skinheads
on campus.
While I understand that
Evergreen students have remarkably
remained at the forefront of nonconformist fashion (circa 1969) I can't
help being alarmed by this strange
fashion statement,
My question 10 skinheads is this.

eleven last week, a M.A.S.H. rerun
showed that lice are capable of
infecting people with a disease that can
make them hold water until (as Father
Mulcahey put it) "they drown in their
own body fluids."

campus skinheads are carriers of such
creatures, but at the · same time I would

constantly re-created by the commumty.
Clearly, we have no commons, and
without it, no true community.
And so we let the gargantuan

We

We
satisfy ourselves with the few murals

where we might decorate undisturbed.

especially the state, for coercing us
into believing that it is communityminded to censor expression. The day

something important too express.
And, by the way, why is it that we
don't consider signs put up by the

"Authorized Personnel Only" to be

They are certainly more

Demonstration of Unity brings awareness of '-isms'
by Suzette Williams
At noon lOday a demonstration of
unity was held on campus to bring
awareness to actions against Jews, Gays
and Lesbians and political activists. The
rally was to begin in Red Square with
five minutes of silence and then move
to the CAB.
Representati ves from student groups
were invited to speak. RochelIe Robins,
coordinator of MAARA VA, said there
would be no fonnal agenda. "We really
encourage people to get up [to speak] if
they
have
concerns,"
she
says.
MAARAVA is Evergreen's Jewish
cultura1 organization.
Student Organizations also submitted
a list of demands to President Olander.
The demands state that these groups
have not received any "meaningful or
direct I'(",sponse" from the College
administration regarding the incidents of
hostility.
.
The demonstration was orgamzed by
MAARA VA, the Lesbian/Gay Resource
Center (L/GRC), the Lesbian/Gay Film
Festival and the Evergreen Political
Infonnation Center (EPIC) in response
to recent actions against these groups.
Their offices were broken into during
Fall Quarter, signs were defaced and
white supremacist cards were found on
campus.
Gail Wine, co·coordinator of the
l../GRC emphasizes that the campus
community is impacted, not just a few
groups. "When this stuff happens to
anybody it affects everybody," she says,

Have you ever wondered wherc the
TESC curriculum comes from? Have
you ever wanted to help influence it's
direction? Now is your chance to have
some say about the 90-91 curriculum.
This year's curriculum building
process has already begun. The process
will refme and reactivate some of the
approaches used in the early days of
Evergreen to encourage cross-campus
involvement.
We want our growing faculty to get
to know each other and share new
program ideas and teaching interests.
Faculty have been asked to fill out a
teaching interest fonn. These fonns and
the recipe for combining them into a
suitable curriculum will be distributed
and posted around campus in early
'90~91
January as the Geoduck Cookbook.
Watch for it on bulletin boards in the
Library, Comm Building, CAB, and
LAB I.
The faculty is being asked to design
Ii curriculum that can be organizcd into
a combination of repeating programs-such as Malter and Motion, Studio
Project, and M8flagement and the Public
Interest--and new programs that are
designed each year.
In addition to offering seven or
eight newly designed Core programs for
first year students, there will be
programs in each the college's ten
curricular areas: Applied Social Theory,
Environmental
Studies,
Humanities,
Expressive Arts, Language and Culture
Studies, M8flagement and the Public
Interest, Native American Studies,
Political Economy and Social Change,
Science and Human Values, and
administration and the Board of
Trustees.
The Board is also required to have
a faculty and staff representative. Staff

review movies for the award winning
Cooper Point Journal.
I wanted to review the $1.00 or
$1.50 movies a week before they ,
arrived at the State Tri-Cinemas. Then
the review would come out on
Thursday and the movie would start on '
Friday. Unfortunately, the people at the
State said that their movics come from
the movie god in the sky and they have
no clue what movie will rain on them
next week. So, if everything works out
okay, I'll be reviewing movies at the
Capital Mall Cinema. The Capital Mall
Cinema isn't bad, they have cheap
nights on Tuesdays for the general
public and on Thursdays for students
with their I.D. cards.
The cost is
$2.50, I think.
Don't you hate it when you call the
State Tri-Cinemas and you've already
seen the $1.00 movie and you've never
heard of the $1.50 movie? That's what
happened Saturday night when Erika
Hanson and I saw CrOSSing Delancey
(Erika wanted her name in the paper).
We decided that if the movie sucked
we could just walk out and go to
Yuppie Yogurt
I didn't walk out of Crossing
Delancey. Delancey is a street in the
Jewish area of New York City's lower
East side.

Grandma hires a hysterical woman,

Anti-semitism
exists at
Evergreen,
by Rochelle Robins
What is anti-Semitism?
It is
racism.
It is discrimination against
Jewish people. A blatant example of
anti-Jewish racism ' was recently found
on the grounds of our college.
I have ' been attempting to write this
article for quite some time.
I am
afraid. A situation such as this calls
forth pain.
"White America wake up!
Know
- ~w: enemyt ,.:. Fight Jewish tyr:anny!"
These worils were found in the men's
bathroom on the first floor of the
College activities building.
No, the
Evergreen State College is not exempt
from the list of all the campuses that
of
are
being
rightly
accused
perpetuating racism of all kinds. The
card on which these words were found
also reads:
"A people without vision perishes!
If the white nice isn't worth saving,
what is?
"The Jew's program as written in
their rcligious law books, the Talmud,
the Torah, and most vicious, the
protocols of the Elders of Zion. is to
enslave,
dominate,
abuse,
and
mongrelize the white mce into oblivion.
It is from such cxtreme prejudice that
the Jew has been disliked and driven
out of every nation that has evcr exist,cd
down to the present time.
"Ignorance of the Jewish menace
has been the downfall of every white
civilization.
Always thc loudest in
denouncing racism, they are the most
fanatic racists themselves.
"Don't throwaway your proud race
and superior cultural heritage. Become
aware, and active, in the fight for the
survival of your race."
The untruths in these words are
numerous. Since when has there been
an autonomous white race, without the
inclusion of various ethnic influences?
A large degree of the "white race" that
is in existence at this point is an effect
of assimilation, not of pure white genes.
It would be interesting to find out how
many racists are unaware of their own
genetic,
cultural,
and
religious
backgrounds.
These false statements
are too ludicrous to spend time
opposing.
They are not valid or of
consequence, although the fact that
bigotry in this fonn is taking place a
Evergreen is of consequence.
P~rhaps this brings a sense of
"reality" to our campus. It reminds us
of the racism that exists outside of our
"protected environment."
It also
'reminds us that anti-Jewish racism still
lives despite the fact that it often goes
unacknowledged and its intensity is
often denied.
The Evergreen community as a
whole is supportive when it comes to
dealing with issues of this kind, but
prejudice has been escalating lately.
This might be the proper time to start
questioning whether or not our school
is as prejudice free as we have though
it to be in the past.

Help fold 1,000 cranes
Loeb brings message of responsibility
by Tim Russell
For
nearly
twent y
year s ,
author/lecturer/activist Paul Loeb has
been exploring the connections between
critical global issues and our day to day
lives. Loeb dives head-on into the
psychological and sociological roots of
the nuclear dilemma. In his books and
talks, Loeb transcends the despair of the
issues, to look at the cultural and
psychological barriers which prevent us
from grasping the true plight of the
earth.
Once
we
understand our
connection to the earth and its
contemporary pains, and can experience
the power in this connection, the new
perspective we have gained may give us
strength in its authenticity, a greater
zest for life, and move us to action and
stewardship like never before.
In his ftrSt book Nuclear Culture.
Loeb looked at Hanford, Washington,
horne of t';e men and women who have
made plutonium for a quarter of the
world's atomic arsenals • an all·
American community whose high school
symbol is a miniature mushroom cloud.
In this study of the Hanford workers,
Loeb
examined
the
banality,
aquiescence to authority, and other the
distancing
mechanisms
which
the
workers embodied. Matt Becker, in the
publisher's note, shows that we all can
learn from what Loeb has illuminated.
"In a real sense," Becker writes, "we all
work at Hanford. We pay taxes, elect
HOPE
presidents and cohtinue with business as
usual under a government which is
willing to destroy the world to presetve
the American way of life."
In his second publication. entitled,
Hope In Hard Times, Paul Loeb studied
America's resurgent peace movement from small town South Carolina
preachers to a 79-year-<lld National
Mother of The Year who risked 10
years in prison for blockading a Trident
submarine off the Washington coast.
Here, Loeb inquires into the forces
driving different modes of activism
throughout the country. Some important
and controversial (especially on this
campus) points are addressed, such as
"consistency," and some of the elitist
attitudes prevelant among activists. Loeb
writes: "We need not embrace pangs of
guilt each time we buy a pair of shoes
or a packet of candy - but only
conscious efforts to change our culture
will counter its reckless, destructive
strains." In speaking of the richness of
the peace movement, Loeb recognizes
the interconnectedness of global issues
and articulates the value of diversity in
political approaches. "Arguments over
the relative urgency of challenging the
MX missle or the helicopte.rs shooting
and napalming Central American
peasants miss the poinL" Loeb
concludes that, "In whatever domains
we choose to make our prime stand •
IN
rolling back the weapons or saving the
topsoil, halting the contras, challenging
U.S. support · of South Africa, Of
building housing for those who have
none - we are stronger for lil)king their ·
interconnected roots."
Following and
drawing from
"Learned Unconcern," an article which
appeared in "Psychology Today" in
June of last year, Paul has moved on
to his third but not yet published book,
Next Generation. As you may have
guessed from the title, Loeb intends to
offer a study of the· world view of
college students, focusing on specific
lives and choices, hindrances and
influences,
of
persons
in
this
community. In this study, Paul Loeb
asks a question which probably few of
us have asked ourselves directly, but is
also profoundly important "Why are
we here?" We may recall the 1987
UCLA survey, in which a record
75.6% of college freshman nationwide
. considered "being very well off
financially" among their prime general
goals, and less than 40% including
"developing a meartingful philosophy
of life." In his ongoing surveys of
attitudes at colleges and universities
across the country, Loeb is finding that
students tend to mistrust politics and
view engagement in larger social issues
as futile. "Today's college students are
presumably the most priviledged of
their peers in affluence, access to
power, and a sense that the world is
theirs to inherit," states Loeb in his
book proposal. "If they believe they
can do nothing about the issues of
greatest significance to our future, we
need to understand the roots of their
withdraw!."
How would Evergreen respond
differently
when
asked
quesuons
similar to the UCLA survey? Recently,
we found out that lUCCners are
"happy," but how do they view the
world and the many global perils in
relation to themselves? (see Leanne's
article for at least one view) In this
environment of student motivated
learning, and relatively "leftist" views,
are greeners any more inclined to . adopt
an attitude of social responsibility and
stewardship for the planet than students
at other institutions? And probably the .
most important question: Can we afford
to dismiss these questions in addressing
our future and that of our children?
My hope in these hard times, is that
Paul Loeb's clear and personally rooted
thinking, and his global and life
affuming visions may help us with OUf
considerations along this difficult and
often lonely road. Hope to see you
there.

Is apathy endemic at E.v ergreen?
by Leanne Roberts
Is The Evergreen State College a
victim of student apathy? Evergreen,
the last bastion of liberalism, the
stronghold of radicalism, the fmal
frontier of sanity in the Reagan years,
is apathetic?
I came to Evergreen to get away
from apathy. I arrived expecting to
fmd a campus full of activists. My
image of Greeners as people who cared
about what goes on in the world around
them was crushed almost immediately.
In October, EPIC helped to organize a
4c;m~tratiop , abput
the lack of
attention the presidential candidates and
the press were giving to the issue of
Central America.
Eight Evergreen
students atte.nded the protest The irony
was that the day before my seminar
group had complained about how
helpless they felt about changing U.S';
Central American relations.
This
demonstration offered those students .the
chance to voice their opinions to the
community. Although the rally might
not have changed govenunent policy; it
was a step in the right direction.
I'm from a hick town in New
Jersey, My high school had a Young
Republicans Club. The most depressing
and frustrating part of the demonstration
was that I was able to organize the
same amount of students to attend a
protest from my high school. . What's
wrong Evergreen?!!
,
Why are Evergreen students so
apathetic?
They spout the ri~ht
rhetoric. Some call themselves MarxISts
or anarchists.
Why don't they get
involved?
Maybe they are frustrated
and disillusioned with political activism .
There were times in my life when I ' felt
that way. . But a whole. campus?
Maybe an apathy epidemic is infecting
Evergreen. After all this is the eighties,
though being at Evergreen evokes
images of the sixties. It was during
those turbulent years that student
activism reached new heights. It was
students that ended the Vietnam War.
Sit ins and marches brought about civil
rights legislation.
But it lOOk more
than eight students.
If you're one of The Apathetic get
involved! Stop by or call the EPIC
office (Lib. 3222 x6144 ) or the Peace
Center (Lib. 3224 x6089).
If you are inte.rested in learning
more about overcoming apathy, auend

Paul Loeb on January 19 at noon in

meeting, Friday, January 13, Mike
Nixon, a South African student from
the University of Washington (U.W.),
will speak on the current situation in
South Africa. The following Friday,
Students Against Apartheid of U. W.
will speak about their success in getting
the U.W. to pull its invesunents out of
South Africa and what they're doing
now.
The state of Washington has
substantial investments in corporations
that do business in South Africa. Two
years ago, bills were introduced into the
Washington Legislature that, if passed,
would have divested Washington State
of these holdings. The bills were voted
down. Later that session, because of
the effortS of Evergreen students who
lobbied the legislature and staged a
Capitol Building, a divestment bill
passed the House of Representatives
and came within one vote of passing
the Senate.
Apartheid means separate but not
equal. In South Africa it is exploitation
of the most brutal and repressive kind.

virtually every aspect of life. The color
of one's skin alone determines for what
wage and under what conditions one

Bicyclists grew to hate them.Yet,

Many non-bicyclists continued to lobby

consider paths a cheap alternative to

Bicyclists have become more
sophisticated. The book Effective
Cycling, by John F<?rester, fIrst
published
in
1975,
encouraged
bicyclists to follow vehicular rules and
reject bikepaths. Forester followed up
with more technical bicycle planning
books which emphasize ' improving
roads rat!: er than developing separated
bicycle paths. The Effective Cycling
approach became accepted by virtually
all bicycle activists.
Bicycle activists' fIrst efforts were
directed at repealing "mandatory
bikepath laws" which required us to
ride on bikepaths, no matter what their
design or condition. Such a law was
repealed in 1982 through the lobbying
efforts of me Bicycle Federation of
Washington. Next, state bic ycle facility
standards were established governing
new path designs.
Much of the focus of bicycle
planning is now on making roadways

1978 Ybarra became director of the

enroll in the program during their
sophomore year of high school, and
receive counseling, tutoring and college

academic year. Upward Bound staff also

attend an intensive residential school
on Evergreen's campus, and hold down
jobs in the college's administrative

Bicycle committee concerned about paths
by Todd Litman
A conflict has developed between
members of the Olympia Bicycling
Commiuee concerning bikepaths. The
Bicyclists hate them. The Public Works
Depanment staff are not convinced.
Over the next few meetings bicyclists
hope to develop their case that paths'
should not be labeled "Bikepaths"
unless they meet state standards. The
discussion at next week's meeting will
provide an indication of Olympia Public
Works response to this request.
It's not that bicyclists hate all paths.
The path parallel to the Evergreen
Parkway isn't very useful, but it is not
especially dangerous for slow riding. A
new path built along 1-5 between
Olympia and Lacey is unpleasant due to
freeway noise and pollution, but is safe
provided care is used at major
intersections. And nobody has objected
to bike lanes (as opposed to separated
bike paths) such as along East Bay
Drive.
But the most common type of path
is decidedly unpopular. The two-way
paths which parallel Division Sl. and
many other city streets, separated by a
low cement beam, are considered
dangerous. Bil:yclists · on the committee

removed
any
"BlKEPATH" signs or other indications
that these are for bicycle use.
The most serious problem with
these paths is confusion at intersections
and driveways. At intersections drivers
are not looking for bicycles. It is
unclear who has right-of-way. Studies
have shown that bicycling on such
paths is more dangerous than riding on
the roadway. Numerous accidents

and poorly maintained, causing falls and
accidents

and

This problem has been developing

The Olympia Bicycling Committee
was started this fall after several years
of lobbying by local bicyclists. The

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
judicial
appointments,
legislation,
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, I ike 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 EasL
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 in
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'L
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.
Reagan's Legacy is the destruction
of our present and the desolation of
our future.
Reagan came to power
Letters
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 .

snow I wrote a while ago but as usual
I've used up enough space that I don't

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

cn
Rejoice in solidarity without blind dogmatism
(
To the Demonstrators of Unity,
Bravo. I found the demonstration
quite moving and inspirational.
The
speakers raised issues that 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 casualtie·s 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 /,it 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.
What disturbed me most about the
"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

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 peopJe. My bet
is that if you introduce yourself to a
stranger with a shaved head, you'll be
glad you did.

Mis·s ing weathervanes

It
is
reprehensible
thut
the
weathervanes
on
campus
were
vandalized. I, in facl. 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
tum. 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 fmd that it becomes more
beautiful by being useful.

Opinion
New Assistant Dean:
Gomez brings no rose colored glasses here
Japanese-American reparations can't hide
200 years of Afro-American
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 flrearms 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 Rcagan to make restitution
payments to the families of Japanese
Americans who were forced into
internment camps during World War II .
The bill provides tor 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 Anny 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 iruernment
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 billsailcd
tlu'ough Congress for another reason as
well. It benefits the U.S. "government at
least as much as it beneflts 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
sk~letons
looking like a really generous guy in
the process.
And
while
apologies
and
repardtions 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 21 st 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.
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 EI
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.
EI Salvador is being emphasized
because it looms as George Bush's flfSt
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 EI 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 EI 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
militariIy strong as ever-operating in 13
of the 14 provinces, and control at
times up to one third of EI 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.
The responsc by the military-death
squads of El Salvador to the renewed
resolve
of
the
popular
mass
organizations is to be as intransigent as
by SuzeUe 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 Executi:ve
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 Chicanos. "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 h3d 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

beefs up
aid and student tracking plan
by John Mclain
For the past six years, individuals
who are required to .JCgister with the
Selective Service must have done so to
be eligible to receive federal student
fmancial 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
!ape matches with the Selecti\le 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 confmns the
•
registration exemption of those who
aren't required.
Students , who are required to
register and have not will have their

between
the
Education
Department and the S.e lective Service.
There are two primary ways the
Education Department can receive this
information. The flCSt 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.
Hew a s
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 1
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,
et,c. 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 1 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 fmancial 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 fmancial aid assistants. The
table will be open from 12 to I 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 I, 1989. This
will help
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
fmancial aid," says Georgette Chun,
Director of Financial Aid at Evergreen.
mSUre
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
fmancial aid form.

process
is
encouraged to attend. The workshops
will be held February 2, 6, 14, 22 from
12 to I 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.

Opinion:
Self-imposed censorship destroys freedom
Student groups are Evergreen's segregation
When I think of Evergreen words
such as independence, individualism,
"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 Projects 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 ho_w he
came up wilh his design nd he told me
that originally he had >found branch in a
very natural women-like figure and
decided 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 Wlder 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.

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

would have seen the power, beauty, and

emotional
content.
Nothing degrading or derogatory.

Recent survey results show
Evergreeners don't have
much sex, sports
by Darrel 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
lhe lack of a commitment to
volunteering (compared to the national
norm.)
There is a lack of 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 10
get better j,!bs.
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

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 "AsianlPacific-lslander" 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 mainstrcam
culture can gather together and institute
a form of racial "segregation" (think of
all the nasty implications of !hru
wordl), thus only giving further
legitimacy to the mainstream white
view of people of color as .separate,
"The Other".
I would guess that 80 to 9Q
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
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
attWled to how people !:!lilY 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 wilh
racism in New York, the internment of
Japanese Americans during World War
II, and a lengthy, justified, and rather
loud discussion of the Wlfairness of the
popular mainstrcam 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 wilh
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
am

let it go unnoticed.
I refuse to
complacently accept it.
I will not
tolerate it r 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
clement of shared hatred.
'Separatism
and hate
are the
tools of
supremacy groups. Any
equality
basis for
begins with mutual and
shared respect.'
r assume I am a member of First
People's Coalition and Women of
Color Coalition because I incessantly
receive mail from them. However, in
the over three years I have attended
Evergreen, I have never showed ·a
spark of interest in being an active
member. I do not wish to fraternize
with groups which use their 'funds to
hold dances for people of color. It just
sounds a little too racist and
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
fmgers at those who have supposedly
"downtrodden" me.
I'm tired of so
many of the separatist, "Evergreen
orthodox" factions. It seems like so

Career development:
Internships can 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.
Uur Career Resource Library has
infonnation pertaining to graduate
schools, testing, career and job SWICh,
employer fLIes, 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 allover the state, nation
and world.
In addition, we have
Alumni Career Educators who are
TESC
a 1u m s
who
ha ve
volunU'.ered to tallc 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 qur 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
Hun 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 fLlm 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 fLlm
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 1.0. Enjoy I
and "internships" are so closely related,
we share each others infonnation.
For example, Beuy 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 fust-time job seekers.
It has a listing of fmns 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 about the internship
program.
