one of the Evergreen students that I have
encountered who venerate the Sixties
without understanding the history of that
period. A short history lesson may be in
order. There was a large visible peace
movement in the Sixties because America
was involved in a war. Five great leaders
were assassinated in the Sixties; John F.
Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X,
Medger Evers, and Martin Luther King
Jr. A series of great musicians died in the
Sixties doing incredibly stupid things, Jimi
Hendrix and Janis Joplin spring to mind.
Thousands of people throughout the Fifties
and Suties died to insure the paSI
wouldn't be the same as the future. Their
charge was to learn from the past and
shape the future. I believe Evergreen is
one of the best places to do that, that's
why I'm here.
Finally, aboul this Geoduck business.

Guns won't make Evergreen safer
I agree that an Evergreen Security
officer in unifonn is a target for possible
shooting. I would on the same token like
to ask everyone here at TESC to
superimpose their mental image of a
vulnerable security officer with an image
of themselves, Violence is something that
"\I~
"_--,, CiApc:mmces: -All of
us m the Evergreen community (Students,
Security, Faculty, all those who spend
time here) are in one way or another
victims of violence.
Someone close to me was raped last
year by six friends late after a party she
went to. Three years ago I was walking
down the sidewalk outside of the Uptown
Theater in Seattle and a passing man
punched me in the face. It literally came
from nowhere. To find violence in our
society too many people need not search
any farther than the confines of their own
homes. When I heard a Cenlral American
woman detail torture that she experienced
in her homeland, it was enough to reveal
to me the similarity of all kinds of
violence. Whether it is a crack house
shootout, a rape, or a fist fight'in a Sonies
game.
There is violence in the Evergreen
community. I support Jim Allbaugh in his
perception that arming security will not
make TESC safer. Is safety the criterion
for judging whether or not our security
needs guns? I think that it is. On these
grounds, I wish to ask people ' in this
community to devote some thought to this
dilemma. Do you think you are safe from
violence? A sawed-off shotgun in B donn
is not the only kind of violence here. I do
not understand how an armed security

violence.
This is because we tend to romanticize
violence and lead ourselves to believe that

shooting or a midnight mugging· '8 gOOd
sampling of everyday violence? Absolutely
not.
As Jim said in the Dec. 1 CPJ, "We
are dumping the problems of our
community on the shoulders of security."
Violence is a problem that addresses the
individual, and not a security force. The
threat to my well-being is violence. It is
rarely that I am threatened by thriving
neurotics and psychotics in the way
expressed by "the officers of the 3 a.m.
world" (from L.Cook's article 12/1). This
is a dramatic and romantic representation
of violence. Violence is dull and boring,
and it is painful. It is also everyWhere,
and we know violence all too well to
believe this is reality.
This is not a problem that security
should be saddled with. This would be
absurd, for it is not a problem for a
"department", it is a problem for all of
us. How is it that we deny this so
skillfully? Security does not deserve to
be exclusively responsible for the realities
of dealing with violence. I'l'obody should

Taxes going into space
i
t
Earlier this quarter, you published a
timely article entitled "Space Exploration
vs. Earth Preservation," The space shuttle
Discovery has since retumed to terra
finna; Americans are once again proud of
our space program; John Denver is still
trying to get into orbit; the shuule Atlantis
was on the pad for lift off last month; the
Soviets just completed their first successful
unmanned shuttle mission (uh-ohl); and
our macho desire to claim dominion over
the heavens appears once again to be
escalating.
Now don't get me wrong, I can
understand (and even occasionally
empathize with) the romantic call of the
"fmal frontier," but when I look around
me and witness the awful state our blessed
mothership Earth and all her passengers
are in, our nation's cosmic conquests
begin to appear as a game of trivial
pursuits. I find this business of the
imminent
Atlantic
shuttle
launch
particularly disturbing.
As you may already know, the last
shuttle which penetrated Earth's battered
atmpspheric hymen carried a TOPSECRET (ooohl) military payload for the
Department of "Defense." The spaceship's
clandestine cargo and its purpose will
remain hidden from the public before,
during and after the mission, in the
interests of "National Security." Personally,
I'm outraged.
Our government is essentially telling
us: "Just keep tb<;)Se taxes coming, Big
l?ttddy knows what's best to do with
them. Never you mind what's going on up
there (and, have a nice dayl)" I should
think that any free-thinking adult would
resent this; especially given our
government's long and sordid history of
using our tax monies to finance everything
from the bloody Contra war on innocent
women, children, and men in Nicaragua
(and elsewhere I), to the preparations for
global genocide. Mind you, this is "all in
our own best interests," (or so we're told.)
In the two and a half years since the
"Challengec" tragedy, the Pentagon has
consolidated its control over our nation's
space program. In 1987 the civilian space
budget was $7 billion, while the military
space budget (including Star Wars) has
grown to over $18 billion! It is high time
we take a critical look at the direction this
prograni is heading.
What's a person to do to recover
control over our increasingly crazed Uncle
Sam? - Plenty!!!
In April of this year, outstanding
Iowa Senator Tom Harkin introduced a
bill that would ban the development,
testing, production, or deployment of any
weapons in space, and would ban the
testing of all Anti-Satellite (ASAT)
weapons, as long as the' Soviet Union
also refrains from these activities. In the
House, Oregon Congressman Les Au
Coin introduced a companion bill.
I strongly urge all Greeners who give
a damn where their tax dollars are going,
all those of you concerned by what the
destabilizing implications of weapons in
space will be, to contact our
"Representatives" in congress (I use that
tenn loosely!), and tell them of yo!1I'
.support for this anti-SOl legislation.
Here's their addresses, please write!
--Brock Adams or "Slippery" Slade
Gorton; U.S. Senate, Washington D.C.
20510
--The Honomble Jolene Unsoeld; U.S.
House, Washington, D.C. 20510
Additionally, the Florida Coalition for
Peace and Justice is organizing a twoweek pilgrimage for Peace in Space,
which will culminate in a non-violent
protest demonstration at the Kennedy
Space Center, in late January of next
year. Interested folks should contact
TESC's Peace and Conflict Resolution
Center (Lib. 3224) for further info.
Scott Yoos
exclaimed in Larry Cook's article 12/1.
Such an event would show a failing in
our community and it would be sad.
The appeal of fm:anns is real enough,
but a cry for guns for our security
officers reflects more a fancy with
gadgets than a sensible appeal for safety.
How is it we believe that gadgets such
as pistols produce safety and a haven
from. violence? It is so reactionary a
response to fear. Guns simply --can-lIot
make TESC "safer", for "safety" simply
does not mean what people often make
it to mean. Who are we protecting
ourselves from? Drug addicts? Really.
This feeling that we need guns for
our security is a symptom of two critical
frames of mind that I wish to ilIuslrate.
1. It parallels the "tough on drugs"
bandwagon that we have seen everyone
jwnp on this year. This does not exclude
Mike Lowry, Michael Dukakis, Cheetos
puffs, or Duncan Hines cake mix. It
made me sad this year to see drugs dealt
with so uncritically. Why are we not
asking what causes people to use drugs?
Is it that they are all psychotic and
crazy? It has much more to do with the
fact that too many people in this world
are unhappy and self- destructive. Giving
the police force walkie-talkies and tanks
and secret observation rooms for sting
operations and bullets will not address
this issue at all. The system that I live
in (that I am a member of) believes that
throwing money and weapons at a
symptom will solve the problem. This is
so naive.
2. It is a sad thing to watch a
community who is iU'raid ' of vlolence
recede into their homes and their shelters
and sanction more power for the police.
A community such as TESC can use its
wits and individual experience to address
this violence we are afraid of! Why
would we choose to withdraw from fear
and begin throwing guns and security
officers at our problems? These are
everyone's problems! I am saddened and
disappointed to see my community
throwing away its ability as a group of
diverse and intelligent people to address
common problems and going out to buy
a gun.
Alex Kostelnik
Guns are for killing
It wasn't until this last swnmer that
I realized how much I hale handguns. I
was trying to explain to a friend what
Bauhaus meant. I had told my friend that
it was an artistic movement in the early
part of the twentieth century, and that the
philosophy behind it was that fonn follows
function, which was the last of style and
the start of the new look. That is,
disregard looks and build it to fulfil its
function.
As we were talking we walked past
a couple of police o(ficers. My friend
said, "You mean like a cop's gun," and
I said "yes," in a somewhat weird tone.
It was at that point I ' realized just what
a handgun is, it is something that you can
put at the end of your hand to convert
yourself into a very effective killing
machine.
I can't speak for anyone else but I'd
rather (given the situation) take the risk
of being killed than bring killing machines
into our environment; to knowingly equip
members of our society with Bauhaus
killing machines, 1'd rather risk death.
I can only speak for the people that
I have talked with, and I am sure that
there is a large number of people who
would say something else, but I have
encountered no one who has said "if I
had a gun and killed that person, I'd be
better today." They had cause, but the
people I know concluded they're better
having not Icilled.
One more note: why do we have
Drunk Driving Awareness Week, but we
don't have Handgun Awareness Week?
With signs like "Don't Buy a Handgun
and Kill Someone", or a sign that shows
someone with their head smashed in on
the street that reads, "Not Everyone that
Buys a Handgun and Shoots Someone is
Stopped by a Cop."
David Henshaw
Don't stereotype skins
What disturbed me most about the
Dec I 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
prej udices of those that the letter was
critical of, namely nec-nazis and KKK
members.
These groups are perhaps
embodiments of fear and their doctrine is
to promote it in others, but this d=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 fOlee 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.

Don't recycle, react!
"/ gathered all the copies I could and

Yen Chin
Nov 17 CPJ
Mr. Chin I applaud you on your
recycling efforts. I only wish that
you had not disregarded the
constitution in doing so. Whether
you agree or disagree with a specifier
of political commentary does not give
permission to throwaway that
commentary .
I would urge you to reconsider
your method of attack on other
people's ideas. You negated the right
to the free speech of those who wrote
the Placeboland Periodic Review.
You say that their ideas aren't
acceptable in your community. Your
action is not acceptable in mine.

Governance
Campus community responds to graffiti:
Student government in an onionskin
Paint does more damage than good
"Animal Rights!," "People Power,"
"Have a Nice Day,": What do these
sayings have in common? They were
written in spray paint on campus walls.
They are similar, not only as illegal acts,
but because they represent someone's
Ibaser instincts of self expression.
What kind of person defaces property
with graffiti, like the kind discovered the
morning of November 29? Sneaking
around with a can of spray paint, writing
slogans on a wall, and then running away
says a lot about the defacer's lack of
genuineness, lack of accountability and
lack of commitment in making a
statemenL
'Graffiti' people and vandals who
paint slogans damage more than propertythey effect legitimate issues. For instance,
how do you feel when you see "Save the
Whales" written in chartreuse spray paint
on the side of a building instea.clofon a
bumper sticker? Does it engender the
same (C(;ling ot support or seriousness?
Or do you associate the message with a
crime?
In one year, vandalism from spray
paint on our campus has cost $6,500 in
cleaning and repairs. That's a lot of
money, certainly when you think about
what else that money could have bought
to enhance the campus.
Cleaning is toxic
To those of you who insist on spray
painting walls, I wonder if you have
considered the impact you are having
on a small but wonderful group of
people here at Evergreen. Those people
I refer to are the maintenance staff who
have worked for three days now to
clean up your paint. I am sure it has
not occurred to you the extra work you
are causing these people but more
importantly, the health risk to which
you are exposing them.
To remove the spray paint on
pow-ous concrete, the maintenance crew
is using Zip-Strip. The principle
ingredient in this product is methylene
chloride.
Zip-Strip
also
contains
methanol and mineral spirits. When
using this product, staff must use a
special type of glove and depending on
the exposure level, a respirator may be
required. TIle toxic effects of methylene
chloride include headache, nausea,
vomiting and skin irritation to name a
few.
When
you
spray
paint on
nonpourous surfaces, the maintenance
crew uses graffiti remover. This product
is composed of toluene, acetone, 1,1,1trichloroethane, propane and isobutane.
These chemicals are well known for
their effects on the central nervous
system and respiratory tracl.
Non-toxic chemicals are used when
possible but are generally not feasible.
They simply do not do the job.
The next time you get the urge to
voice your opinions by using spray
paint, please stop and talk to these
people for a minute or so. They are
some of the most caring and
conscientious people I have ever had
the honor to work with. These people
understand that their job requires them
to often .uie toxic chemicals but it must
be very disheartening to come to work:
and be asked to work: with chemicals
just to cleanup others thoughtlessness.
To those of you who believe that
unnecessary use of toxic chemicals is
just as bad (or worse) than the use of
pesticides, chloroflourocarbons, etc .. ,
speak up and report to authorities who
is doing this damage. Not only is
environmental damage an important
concern but also is the health of those
with whom we work and are given the
opportunity to know.
Jill Lowe, Safety Officer
Come to book seminar
Some interested folks would like to
suggest an ad hoc seminar on Anne
Wilson-Schaefs book The Addictive
Organization. This was the seminar book
at the President's management retreat
(Orcas Island, October 26-28) and it
generated a lively and sometimes heated
discussion, so it sounds like we could
have a similar seminar experience
ourselves.
I propose that we meet in Lib. 2118
on Wednesday, December 14, at noon for
a brown bag seminar. Staffer Mark
Clemens (who was at the retreat) has
agreed to facilitatc fvr us. Please RSVP
By December 1 to me (Kitty Parker, ext.
6312) so I can be sure we will have a
large enough room.
You may already own this book or be
able to borrow it. Otherwise, a number of
copies are available in the bookstore or
Robert will order it if they are sold out.
He would like to make orders in groups
of twenty, but will be able to
accommodate us with smaller numbers if
necessary. He says we can expect to
receive copies within three days of placing
the order. The cost is $13.50 plus tax.
($14.55)
This will be fun and, we hope, the
first of a series of entertaining seminars
on various books and subjects. Who will
propose the next one? There are a lot of
interesting books and a lot of interested
people to talk: about them.

Student offices violated
. November 23, 1988 the offices of
four Evergreen student organizations were
broken into. The vandals destroyed the
locks and handles of office doors, defaced
office signs and entered offices of the
Lesbian,Uay Resource Center, EPIC,
MAARVA, aiid the Lesbian/Gay Film
Festival.
Given the recent spate of auacks on
gays, lesbians, political activists and Jews
at Evergreen in the form of anonymous
posters and publications, one could easily
believe the office break-ins are yet anothez
example of a growing intolerance at

There are twenty-five student
organizations at Evergreen. All maintain
offices containing confidential information
(correspondence,
addresses,
phone
numbers, etc.) These organizations will
not tolerate their offices being violated and
have vowed to look out for each other to
protect themselves. 'lESC officials have
pledged to increase security for student
offices.
Anyone with information about the
break-ins, please contact Campus Security.
Let's put a stop to this type of violence
and bigotty.

Graffiti is vandalism
My letter is in response to the graffiti
painted (and quickly disposed ot) on the
TESC campus in support of animal rights.
I don't take issue with your motivation
and goals (or lack of them) but I would
certainly question your method.
On behalf of only myself, I would
personally agree with the majority of
issues taken up for animal rights, to speak:
for those unable to speak: for themselves.
But graffiti shows a real lack of
imagination and poor execution (no pun
intended) for promotion, publicity, and for
gathering support for these issues as a
"cause."
If I have misunderstood the goal(s) of
the graffiti-- to draw attention in support
of animal rights issues-- feel free to leave
a note for me explaining yoyr (whoever
that might be?) position at the CPJ office.
I can only attest to how your graffiti
affected me. I was disappointed and
embarrassed.
Vandalism, and that's the proper word,
is not an effective way to publicize,
promote, and gather support. It does the
opposite, for me anyway.
With a little imagination (and as little
money) an impact could be made that has
a longer, more concrete (again, no pun
intended) and positive aspect and outcome.
If this was a planned event, plan
harder and think it through 10 the end, use
media for exploitation to your advantage.
If this was a spontaneous event, there
could be a much greater benefit in the use
of your time in support of the issues as
you see them. Thanks.

Governance
Onionskin:
The Process
The whole student body represents the
fmal authority on decision making.
Student have the right to speak and vote
at any meeting they attend.
But
individuals need not panicipate in those
decisions which they are not interested in.
Messengers as the layer inbetween the
student body and the core, can mobilize
decision-making in a shon time by
collecting their constituencies opinion or
vote on a panicular issue. This popular
vote is tabulated at the student center.
Messengers can meet in assembly. But
students need not use the messengers if
they prefer to become more direcUy
involved, and they also have other ways
to exercise a vote.
Messengers are not representatives,
who take input from constituents, and then
vote their own convictions. Messengers
carry the opinions, grievances or the
numerical vote of their constituencies to
the Student Communications Center or to
an assembly meeting where they can be
fonnulated, addressed or tabulated.
Gatherings serve as an excellent
forum to distill the collective wisdom on
specific issues through consensus or other
fonns of listening and discussing. These
gatherings should be open to all
community members.
The core operates as a coordinating
center. It serves in the role of advocacy,
research and implementation of policies
and organizes quick response to the
enactment of controversial policies that
may stand at odds with students.
The core facilitateS 10bbying,Iiasions,
and communication with administrators,
the faculty, students and other groups,
involved with the college, such as the
legislature.
The core also assists
individual students or groups of students
who seek to become effective in
researching or shaping policy.
Within the core is the Evergreen
student board of trustees. This board of
trustees holds the students' trust to
protect student interest and manage day
to day business. Unlike the college's
board of trustees, any student who
appears at these meetings has the right
to vote on policy. If controversial, these
decisions can be brought to the whole

llus is my third year at Evergreen and

the panies. I've been told it's there. It
just goes to show that just because you
don't see it, it doesn't mean that it is nOl
there. I've seen many of the other drugs
but never IV drug use. My concern with
IV drug use is that the user's works are
clean. If you share diny works there are
many diseases that can be passed. Some
of these diseases include AIDS and
hepatitis. .
The AIDS virus and hepatitis virus is
passed through blood and when works are
shared there is a small amount of blood
that is drawn into the needle. Even though
the amount of blood is nOl a great amount
it is still enough to pass the virus to
another person. Shared needles can pass
either disease.
It is easy to r..tionalize reasons why
one doesn't have to worry about AIDS
and hepatitis. However, that can give a
student body via the messengers.
Ultimately those issues that are
imponant enough to warrant the attention
will be decided by the whole student
body in a popular vote, while less
imponant issues can be dispensed with
more efficiency.

and the spy satellite that' s gOing to be
deployed by the Atlantis shuttle, I began
LO think.
The United States government has
fmaUy acknowledged the existance of the
Stealth bomber, a hi-tech bomber that is
designed to be invisible to radar. This
allows the aircraft to enter Soviet airspace
and destroy its targets before it is
discovered.
The Lacrosse imaging radar satellite
is reported to be deployed during the next
shuUle mission. It's purpose is to gather
information on the movement of troops,
equipment, ships and planes in the Soviet
false security. Some of these rationales
are; "It only affects white gay men", "IV
drug users are only getting it in New
York", or "My friends are all clean,"
AIDS and hepatitis are non-discriminating
diseases that are found in all areas. And
remember what you don't see is, doesn't
mean that it· is not there.
There are several ways of preventing the
spread of AIDS and hepatitis. One way is
to not share your works. Another way is
to clean your needles before use with a
bleach and water solution. This is done by
flushing the rig with bleach twice and then
with water twice. However, it is impon&nt
not to inject the bleach. Another way of
prevention is to not use IV drugs at all.
If you are an IV drug user or a friend
of an IV drug user and would like to get
clean works (ie. free bleach, sterile
needles) for yourself or others please
contact the Health Center. We would
welcome any suggestions.

Resolution
Start DTF on CFC's
WHEREAS:
(1) The Evergreen State College is an
environmentally conscious community;
(2) It has been determined that long
lasting synthetic chemicals known as
chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) and luIlon are
destroying the ozone layer;
(3) Research suggests that the
depletion of the ozone layer increases the
ultraviolet radiation that reaches the earth's
surface causing significant increases in
skin cancer;
(4) The College does not currently
have a policy governing the purchase, use
or application of CFC's and other ozone
damaging materials;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLYED
TIlAT:
(1) There will be a DTF established
to develop a ban on the use of CPC's and
other ozone damaging materials on campus
where alternatives exist. This ban will be
effective by May 31, 1989.
(2) The DTF will explore and
recommend recycling procedures that
control the use of CFC's and other ozone
damaging materials on campus.
(3) During this period all new uses of
CFC's and other ozone damaging materials
will be reviewed by the Environmental
Advisory Committee and where feasible
alternatives exist, the Commiuee will
recommend their use.
(4) The Evergreen State College will
establish a model policy for the rest of the
world to follow that will limit worldwide
CFC emissions.

Whatever governance system we
enact, it must remain open for future
students to experiment with and change,
while preserving a basic framework .of
oontinuity to build upon. There must be
room for growth, but to grow we need a
solid foundation. We should not create
another bureacracy within this institution,
a thing that can be encoded and frozen in
college regulations. Rather we should
institute a behavior of broad panicipation
in a way that is open to change.

Hanukkah celebr·a tes Judaism's'survival
by Darrel W. Riley
"HanuJdcah is the only Jewish holiday
that does not come of out the [Old]
Testament, " Mr Bernie Friedman president
of Olympia's local Jewish temple
explained.
"HanuJdcah celebrates a great event
that took place on a day in about 165 BC
when the Jews were fighting to gain their
freedom from the Syrians. On that day
Jews recaptured a temple, cleaned it, threw
out the pagan idols and prepared it for the
worship.
"Unbelievable that they could win. So
they thought it was a miracle. And that
is what the holiday celebrates.
"HanuJdcah means dedication. They
dedicated the temple to be Jewish again.
No more pagan idols. Back to studying
the Talmud and the Torah.
"The miracle of the army defeating the
Syrians was the main miracle."
But HanuJdcah is celebrated for eight
days. Why such a long celebration?
nAt the temple they always lit lights
for services. In those days they used a
curse of oil and there was none to be
found. It was just a little bowl of oil that
they would light that would burn.
Annual peace vigil
becomes tradition
"They c.ouldn't find any oil. Finally
a small child found one "little container of
oil. It was a container of oil that was only
supposed to last one day. But it lasted
for eight days. The holiday is remembered
as an eight day holiday for the eight days
that the oil gave light."
There is a special candle holder used
on Hanukkah called a tnelllJrah.
"There are eight nights and nine
candles. The fll'St night we light the
tallest candle and one of the other candles.
On the second night we again light the
highest candle and with that candle light
two of the candles. It progresses that way
for eight nights.
"The highest candle has a special
name, shamas, which means slave candle.
"It does the work for the other candles
instead of a match. After eight nights we
have the whole melllJrah lit
Is there a special blessing said for
Hanukkah?
"There is a prayer that is said every
night that we light a candle. It translates
oo " Blessed Art Thou, Oh Lord Our God,
King of the Universe, who has commanded
us with his Torah to light the HanuJdcah
candles.'
"On the fmt night we say another
prayer. It translates to 'Blessed Art Thou,
Oh Lord Our God, King of the Universe,
wlw has commanded us with his Torah to
ligh! the HanuJdcah candles and has

Helpful hints from the Business Office
How to beat the winter tuition lines
•
by the Business Office staff
We know that the last thing students
want to do during the flfSt week of classes
each quarter is stand in long lines. The '
office staff streamlines procedures and
brings extra help to ~ake sure the lines
move as smoothly as possible. Indeed, the
time students spend in lines has decreased
as enrolhnent as increased because of
some creative changes behind the scenes.
11Ungs get beuer. We have suggesiioris
for avoiding those fll'St week lines, or at
least minimizing your time in them.
If you know the amount of your
charges and when they are due, you don't
need to stand in line. You should receive
a statement from Student Accounts two or
three weeks before the beginning of the
quarter. If you don't, or if you don't
understand everything on it, call us at
extension 6447 before the frrst week of
school. We'll be there.
Then write a check or purchase a
money order and either mail it to the
Cashiers' office or put it iIi the night drop
in the flJ'St floor Library Lobby (outside
the Registrar's Office).
If you're expecting a guaranteed
student loan (GSL), you'll have 10 wait at
the Cashiers office unless you can pay
your tuition without it. If you don't need
your OSL immediately, contact the
Financial Aid Office about having your
loan check mailed.
On the first day of classes the
Cashiers Office is open until 6:00 pm and
. it's usually pretty quiet after 3:30 or 4:00.
The office is open at lunchtime, so bring
your lunch and wait without missing any
class time. Remember, your tuition must
be paid by the deadline even though you
may wait until after that deadline to pick
up your GSL check.
Financial Aid checks are available on
the fourth class day. If you don't need
your check immediately you can request
that be mailed to you. If you have a
Perkins Loan, you'll need to come in
ahead of time to sign the loan note and
disclosure fonn or have them mailed to
you for signature. But, again, this can be
done anytime after the loan has been
awarded.
Please remember that tuition is always
due on the second day of class by 3:45
pm. For Winter Quarter 1989, the date
is January 4. Posunarks don', count and
there is IIQ grace period. If you don't pay
tuition on time your registration will be
cancelled and you could lose your place
in your program.
Though this may seem unfair, it
would be more unfair to make students
on waiting lists wait longer to know if
there are places available in programs.
For sure, the main situation to avoid
is waiting until the last minute to deal
with your account when you're not sure
what shape it's in or have a disagreement
about it. If your problem is the least bit
complicated (and that does happen) we
are in much better shape to help you at
any time other than the flfSt week of
class. Call us, write us, or come and see
us ahead of time.
We often hear students' frustrated
with the limited hours of Cashiers and
Student Accounts (regularly 10:00 am to
3:00 pm, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm the flfSt
week of school). The reason we are
closed at the beginning and end of each
day is that every transaction generates a
pile of paperwork.
Both offices are open at lunchtime so
you can do business without missing
class time. We are in the office from 8
am to 5 pm. In an emergency come
around back to the supervisors' offices
and we will try to help you.

These folks are trying to communicate
with the giant geoducks redisc:ovCled after
years of absence from the collective
consciousness of Evergreeners.
Communicating with Harry, Maude,
Claudette, and Raphael (the Geoducks),
involved a lengthy system of ann farling,
cooing like pigeons, and gargling into the
cold and salty Puget Sound.
"We would like to rewrite Geoduck
history," said one of the boaters. "People
have never respected them, looked beyond
that 1000g neck to the lively mind working
inside."
The boaters discovered the giant
geoducks feed on &i>ecial undersea
mushrooms and seem to be fonning a
commune, but that's a another story.

Trees of Autumn
by Todd & Suzanne Litman-Kon
For each season the Pacific
Nonhwest's forests offer special pleasures.
Winter is a time of isolation and
contraction; living things retract to their
smallest fonn. Spring is the time of
surprises and rebinh; buds, insects and
animals burst fonh from seemingly barren
ground. Summer is rich with color, smells
and action; a hundred shades of green are
trimmed with flowers and berries.
Autwnn is a time of mystery in the
NonhwesL Mushrooms emerge, even as
the duff grows thick with falling leaves.
Fog, mist and drizzle soften the view,
bringing our focus close enough to
appreciale the thick layers of mosses and
lichens. Green plants retract for the winler,
leaves rot and fall to the forest floor for
recycling. Crows fly overhead fonning
their noisy, rambunctious winler flocks. A
walk with a friend down the campus
beach trail is a good chance to get to
know our environment. Here are some
things to look for.
Alders are the most common broad
leaf tree on campus, you'll see lots of
them behind the library and as you cross
the meadow. Although sometimes
considered a nuisance plant, these fast
growing trees conven airborne nitrogen
into forms the rest of the forest
community can use. Alders are an '
indication of relatively recent logging.
Through the forests you'll notice giant
stumps, now overgrown with young plants,
left from the most recent logging period.
Big Leaf Maple, a tree notable for its
colorful autumn foliage, and Douglas Fir,
identifIable by thickly ridged bark, and
long cones with branches shaped like the
back ends of mice, fonn the second stage
of forest development. These are the
dominant trees once you pass the meadow.
Conside,r the teachings of native herbalists
who say the healing essence of plants can
be felt just by being near the living tree.
Maple is recommended for melancholy,
so if you're feeling down, a gentle
moment under a mossy maple may uplift
your spirits for awhile!
The Maple/Fir forest you walk through
is damp and-thick. The forest floor here
is covered with enough shrubs and small
flowering plants to keep a botanist busy
year round. Huckleberry plants may still
have their red berries, and on the ground
is Salal with dark purple berries, both
wonh a taste. Most other berry plants
will be dying back; but don't worry, next
summer we will have more Salmonberry,
Thimbleberry, and three varieties of
Blackberry to nibble.
The berries of Red Elder provides
brilliant color but are not wonh eating.
Neither are the berries of ,Oregon Grape
although they make a tan jelly for the
dedicaled picker. Red Flowering Current
and Spiraea, are not much to see now but
have beautiful blossoms in spring. Also
in spring, Red Elderbs burst out with
pungent white flowers that make a
pleasant tea when mixed with mint to
ward off colds and flus. Always
remember to leave plenty of whalever
you pick alive on the bush for
propagation, animal food and out of
respect for living things.
The climax forest trees are Western
Red Cedar and Western Hemlock, two
cvergreens that can reach immense size
given a few centuries of growth. Needless
to say, there are few climax forests
around You will see both of these plants
scattered along the lower end of the trail,
the Western Red Cedar with its stringy
bark and intricalely scaled leaves, and the
feathery leaved Weslern Hemlock with its
small round-scaled cones. Both begin to
dominate, creating a sparser understory,
as you get closer to the beach. Honor
them as respecled elders.
A maple tree trunk is a wonderful
place to examine mosses. That thick
green carpet probably includes a dozen
different species. The closer you look the
more differences you'll see. Each species
of moss has a different leaf design, and
nOl all species have the little spore
capsule sticking up. Looking closely
you'll see the Iiule cap (operculum) that
opens when the spores are ready.
Lichens come in a variety of muted
hues, You'll see diverse yellow-green
species some with tiny orange fruiting
bodies growing as a crust on Alder
trunks, Various leafy, stringy and fluffy
lichens are attaching to every possible
forest surface. Their colors range from
light yellow or dark green to brown and
Jimi plays Olympia
at Capital Mall
by Darrel W. Riley
Jim; Plays Monterey is a film playing
at the Capitol Mall Cinemas. If you are
a music fan you owe it to yourself to see
this film.
Jirni was the ultimate uitarist. He was
unlike any g:wtanst be ore iiii (except
possibly Charlie Christian), and no
guitarist since has had nearly the effect
that he had. His flamboyance and stage
antics sometimes hid the fact that his
guitar playing was phenomenal. He was
a compelling guitarist, one that forced you
to listen to him. Watching Jimi on film
is the best way to experience the magic
he brought to his music and stage show.
The film starts with about 10 minutes
of palaver about who Jimi was and why
he was playing at Monterey. But from the
rust notes of the concen I felt chills on
my spine. Jimi begins with a heavy bass
grey. As a symbiotic relationship between
algae and fungi, lichens are the ultimale
cooperative community, wonh further
study.
We live in one of the best places in
the world to study fungi and this time of
year you are likely to find hundreds per
acre. This year is beuer than most; the
past few dry seasons have left many
undeveloped spores ready to pop out with
gusto during autumn rains. The variety is
incredible; from jello like "witch's butter"
growing on rotting trunks, edible
mushrooms, puffballs and morels to
hardened Dryad's Saddle. Edible, and
dangerously poisonous mushrooms are
oflen very similar, so don't eat any
without the supervision of an expert.
The study of plants, mosses, lichens
and fungus reaches a high an in the
Pacific Nonhwest forests. Books, classes
and clubs will help you learn more. An
excellent stan for amaleur naturalists is
Plants and Animals of the Pacific
Nonhwest by Eugene Kozloff, which
conveys both joy and information about
our unique environment. Manual of
Oregon Trees and Shrubs and W~hington
Wildflowers are useful for identifying
plants, and numerous books in the natural
history section of a bookstore will help
you learn about other living things.
Animal behavior is another source of
delight. With careful observation the
chattering flocks of little brown birds
become a mixed flock of friendly species,
including nuthatches, kinglets and
chickadees. The percussion of a Downy
Woodpecker high in an Alder tree will
expand your sense of forest music.
Watching a mottled brown native slug
cross your path will deepen your sense
of time. The forests of the PacifIc
Nonhwest are too unique and beautiful to
ignore. Whatever your mood, whatever the
time of day or season, our native
environment has something to offer.
UNICEF to release children's report
by Peter W. Rickett
The Unicef "State of the World's
Children Report 1989", will be released
world-wide on Tuesday, December 20,
1988. A press conference has been
scheduled for 9 a.m. in Hearing Room A
of the Legislative House Offlce Building,
on the State Capitol Campus.
The press conference, which is open
to the public. will be hosled for the third
year by "Results"; a non-profIt, grassroots, citizens lobby which works to creale
the political will to end hunger. Also
hosting the conference are local and
national groups such as; Uniled Way of
Thurston County, the Nonhwest Indian
Center, Thurston County Food Bank, and
the American Red Cross.
The Olympia press conference is one
of 30 held nationally. It will feature a
program carried out by Lincoln
Elementary School students entitled,
"Shifting the Balance". The title refers to
the discrepancy between the lives lost each
year from preventable causes and lives
saved by Unicefs low cost methods. The
students will dramatize widely held,
inaccurale beliefs about hunger and its
persistence. They will also brief those in
attendance on the effective methods,
programs and technology currently
available to end hunger and poverty.
Throughout the 35 minute program, II
silent demonstration will graphically
symbolize the shift required for the
world's will to end needless child deaths
due to hunger.
Beginning in 1983, the "Stale of the
World's Children" repon has become the
Page 16
Cooper Point Journal
most widely respecled and accurale
accounting of the conditions in the
developing world for children and their
families.
For instance, Unicef was the
flrst to acknowledge what they lenned "the
silent emergency" of child deaths due to
preventable causes such as; dehydration
from diarrhoeal disease, lack of
immunization (from measles, whooping
cough, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, and
tuberculosis and more), lack of breast
feeding, and malnutrition.
Those
conditions take 35,000 lives each day.
Unlike the "loud emergency", rarely does
the media cover those conditions, or the
low cost methods used to combat them.
A turning point in the world's ability
to care for its children came with Unicefs
establishment of four low cost health
methods, inclusively called "GOBI"
program.
The two most effective
methods, "ORT" and "Immunization", can
prevent the deaths of seven million
children annually.
"ORT" is a simple salt. sugar and
water solution which can rehydrale the
body by 250%, to help prevent death due
to dehydration brought on by diarrhoeal
disease. Such disease lake the lives of 4
million young children annually. Those
deaths could be prevented by a 10 cent
package of ORT salts.
Immunization coverage against the six
childhood diseases has extended its reach
from less than 10% to approximalely
50% of the developing world's children
at a cost of $5.00 pel child The World
Health Organization's goal of immunizing
all the world's children by 1990 is within

reach; several nations will achieve
universal immunization by 1990. Senegal
will become the first African nation to
achieve this feat, and massive
immunization programs have begun from
India to Ecuador.
Immunization and ORT are now
saving the lives of approximately 2
As the
million children each year.
Secretary General of the Uniled Nations
has said, "a veritable child survival
revolution has begun to spread across the
world."
"The attitude that health care is
someone else's responsibility is linked to
the fact that, in the past, heal th
professionals have taken away from the
people their (health) decision-making
power," according to a recent UN World
Health
Organization
committee.
One question raised yearly by the
report "Won't sharply lower infant
monality rates push up already high rales
of population growth in poorer
countries?"
Unicef reports have shown that when
parents are confIdent that their children
will survive into adulthood they choose
to have fewer children.
These experts also point out that
more is needed than lower Want
monality. The status and lileracy of
women, for instance, must increMe, along
with their ability to fmd productive work
outside the home.
The basic message of each repon is
the same and can be summed-up in the
closing panel of the 1988 report.
"Throughout the poor communities of the
developing world, present knowledge holds
out the opportunity 10 provide, for the first
time, a basic minimum protection for the
lives and growth of all the world's
children, and to do so at a very low cost
and in a very shon time. To fulml this
potential, it is clear that above all else,
parents need to be empowered with
information and enabled with support.
"They need the suppon of their own
political leaders and of the international
community, of the health serviced, the
mass media, of the school teachers and the
religious leaders, of the community
organizations and the women's movements
and of the employers and the trade unions
and of people's movements in both the
developing and industrialized nations.
"If this opponunity is taken, then the
years ahead could see the achievement of
one of the greatest goals which humankind
has ever set for itself-- protection for the
lives and health and normal development
of all its children. If that opponunity is
not taken, then the 19808 and 1990s will
be rightly stigmatized as the generation
which failed to protect and maintain the
hard won progress of the post-war years
and presided over the paradox of
unprecedenled fmancial and technical
capacity with the continued' malnutrition,
stunting, and death of millions of its most
vulnerable citizens."
The choice is ours.

But you may still want to tell them about the one college learning tool
that can bring out even more of your very best: the Apple Macintosh
computer.
You have several to choose from - Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, and
Macintosh II. All let you work faster, smarter, and more creatively.
So whether next semester will have you writing sonnets or composing
business plans, wrap it up on a Macintosh. Then let the bragging begin.

The way you draw me

fresh fish unfolded from
newspaper wrapping,
pungent and mysterious.
by Randall Ota
by Wendy Freeman, Director of Career
Development
Our contribution this week will reflect
the upcoming holidays, the end of the
quarter and registration week. So, although
there are no workshops scheduled or
recruiters recruiting, I would like to take
a moment to talk to you. A host of folks
have come through my office this week
with a dandy case of "tegistriltion blues".
This seems like a good time to address
some of your more challenging questions.
Some ways you might think about
your decision making process for areas of
study: What do you need to complete
yourself! If you are fearlessly honest with
yourself, what academic skills do you still
lack: and need to build? Based on who
you are and how you move through the
world, what do you value? Based on what
you value what are you dying to learn
more about?
What is it you are supposed to get out
of this undergraduate education anyway?
At a college like Evergreen or any other
self respecting Liberal Arts College in the
United States in 1988, you are supposed
to leave with an accumulation of
knowledge and ability.
Warm, melted drop,
sweet vinegar for spice
or the palest ale.

I went on with my life and visited the
Computer Center. After a few hours of
fun and frustration, I acquired eIiougp
knowledge to successfully type my name
and password. During the course of
conversation I heard that the mainframe
computer was kepL...in the basement As
I left the computer center (with every
intention to go right home and have a nice
cup of alphabet soup), I thought to myself.
"mainframe,
basement.
mainframe,
basement, mainframe, basement, soup,
soup, soup."
Call it crazy or suicide, I lOOk the
stairs to the basement I stepped into one
of the most spectacular halls I had ever
seen. It seemed at least 30 feet wide and
20 feel tall; il went on forever into
darkness. The floor and walls were
cement, the ceiling was covered with long
tubes and hoses.
While searching for the mainframe, I
found, among other things, the "Messy
Arts Room." This is a paint-splattered area
where a person can dump plaster allover
the floor and no one will get upset. A
beautiful blond woman was painting a
large picture of a rippling checker board
in mauve sunlight After talking with her,
she gave me some advice. "You seem to
like art. Go over to the Ceramics building- the art there is wild." I thanked her and
went home.
The next afternoon I looiced ror the
Ceramics Building. I spotted a gargoyle

/ lookUlg at me fTom atop a wall and
climbed up to examine it. He was on all
fours with moss covered Wings that made
him look as if he would flyaway. He had
a strange smirk and an ant was crawling
on his ' lip. I kept looking for more
monsters. I followed a path through the
ivy and around some trees which led me
to a birdhouse shaped like the head and
shoulders of a person. Further down the
path, I found a painted glass window
made to look old and broken, a statue of
a goat and some ceramic mushrooms. I
couldn.'t believe my luck. What I found
next was more strange.
There were human heads in all shapes
and sizes, ripped lorsos, a portrayal of a
brutally murdered person aged into a
rotting corpse, and other torsos whose
very bones were depictions of screaming
faces. You must see the rest for yourself.
It was one of the most fascinating walks
I had ever taken.
I walked along the brick pathways for
a while. I eventually came upon a large
cube sculpture set on its comer; about
four by four feet with spherical
impressions allover it. Inside. the
impressions were hand sized holes with
more impressions and more holes. I
thought to myself, "Looks like swiss
cheese."
A fellow student was rollerskating
behind me and his skates were really
loud on the brick, Suddenly he stopped
and said, "IGnda looks like swiss cheese
doesn'l it?"
There are many more rwnors around
campus which can lead to adventures.
Look around! It's definitely worth the
effort.

You are supposed to know a little bit
about society, technology, science, human
values, political economy, language,
culture, humanities, business, expressive
arts, environmental studies ... well you get
my drift. And, you are supposed to be
able to do certain things like think,
analyze,
research,
reason,
write,
communicate effectively, problem solve,
negotiste. •collaborate;' make deCisions,
assimilate new information, and maybe
even tolerate ambiguity.
Thi.nking about all of that may help
you decide what to do about next quarter
or next year, but what about "the real
world," you know, jobs and stuff like
that? Well, here's a news flash.
The latest word from employers is that
they recruit and hire people who can
demonstrate an ability to think, analyze,

effectively.
