Don't worry, be happy
make every day count
Many years ago my mother
worked with a special man.
Every morning he would walk in
and his staff would say, "Good
morning Mr. Pratt."
Every
morning
he
would
answer, "What's good about it?"
What was good aQ,out this
morning?
I woke up feeling
smug because I go to Evergreen.
1 try not to brag about it too
much, but hey, we deserve some
bragging rights.
(No, I didn't
make that up, I heard it from a
journalism teacher about WSU.
When he talked about how proud
he was of his Cougars I had an
image of an Evergreen teacher
talking about his Geoducks.)
WSU was a scream.
For
instance, on the dorm wall was
a list of rule s and regulations
for residents.
I still rcmember
some of the phrases.
"Security will make rounds of
the buildings at night."
I
figured this one out when I saw
a round building in the center
of campus. The building used to
be square but one night Security
made it round.
"When dialing an on-campus

number, delete the
first to
digits of the number and just
dial the last five." Why not say
dial the last five digits?
And
'to digits'?
What IS a 'to
digit'? Is it a finger, a toe, or
what?
"When coming to his event."
had images of the second
coming.
There were more, but you
get the point. When 1 went to
talk to the man at the desk
about. them he explained how to
dial the on-campus numbers. I
told
him
I
understood
the
meaning, but the wording was
amusing.
He
indignantly
informed me that he had not
written the list, it was written
by his boss, an English major.
He was so insulted I couldn't
help but laugh.
If I ever go
back I don't think they'll let me
stay in that dorm. Oh well.
We
went
to
see
The
Evergreen,
the
campus
newspaper.
The staff was so
serious! Suits, ties, make-up,
the works.
I got the giggles
watching them, which endeared

me to a whole new group of
people.
The confere'nce was funny
too. One 0 f the speakers began
his presentation by saying, 'I
don't
know
anything
about
computers, but I'm here to talk
about the Apple MacIntosh and
computer graphics.'
I decided
a quick trip to the WSU library
might be in order. When I got
back he was saying exactly the
same st u f f, even usi ng the same
expressions and word choices.
1 found him hilarious, although
the conference organizer wasn't
pleased and pointedly glared in
my direction .
What
makes
Geoducks
different from Cougs or Dawgs
is that · we don 't a/ways take
ourselves too seriously. Thank
Goodness!
What's good about this
morning? This morning was good
because there was humor in my
life _. and I spent time . with
people I love.
Here's to you, Mr. Ed
Pratt, for reminding me not to
titke any day for granted .

Food
is
very
important.
Aside from survival there are
traditional
and
' ceremonial
reasons when certain foods are
prepared for speci fie occasions.
Sometimes, we are fortunate
enough to have someone share
their ways with us. If nothing
else, we can show appreciation
and respect for those who trust
us
enough
to
share.
Unfortunately, many of us could
not show our appreciation for
willing guests who have shared
with all of us Friday evening.
It is out of anger about this
incident and shame that the
perpetrators were also Evergreen
students that I am writing.
One of the purposes of
Peoples
of
Washington
was
meant to celebrate multi-cultural
diversity by sharing stories,
songs, dance, music, food, etc.

transcend culture. I believe one
is to at least wait for invited
guests
to
arrive
before
beginning to feast.
Friday evening, November
11th, the Peoples of Washington
opening
ceremony
was
an
excellent celebration of multicultural diversity and sharing.
The reception too would have
been a part of that. But, after
the ceremony ended and people
(including unpaid guest speakers
and performers) headed up to
L4300 for finger foods prepared
by people from di fferent parts
of the world, there were <inly
potato chips and beverages left.
One of the few multi-cultural
events on campus was raided by
a portion of very insensitive
Evergreen students.
I know
many people at
Evergreen
don't
want
to
conform into an image, but we
are
representatives
of

Skinheads on campus?
Recently, I have seen at
least three male students with
shaved
heads
on
campus.
Ordinarily, that shouldn't cause
concern
or
even
raise
an
eyebrow,
especially
. since
Eve .r green students have a'l ways
been in the forefront of nonconformist fashion.
My question to the campus
students with shaved heads, "Is
this a fashion statement or do
you associate yourselves with
the politics of the youth group
commonly known as Skinheads?"
The individuals who choose to
wear
white
hooded
robes
Confederate flags or swastika~
make similar fashion statements.
I would be very apprehensi ve
about approaching a person in a
white hooded robe and asking,
"Is this a f ash ion statemen t
and/or do you realize the sociopolitical impiications of your
garment?"
As a Black woman
the thought of having to ask
this
question
makes
me
uncom [ortable.
The power of
fashion cannot be denied.
A
fashion statement that
aligns one with a hate group,
the
skinheads,
who
have
recently been suspected of the
beating death of an Ethiopian
student in Portland, leads me to
question my safety on campus.
Isn't my discomfort the intended
e~fect?
To
top
off
my
dIscomfort, I found
an antiSemitic placard on the cement
wall
leading
to
the
Communications Building. In the
news last week were reports
that Richard Butler, leader of
the Aryan Nation, was seeking
the participation of skinheads in
his white supremacy ideology. I
am reluctant to believe that
these
students
want
to
be
associated with the skinheads.
The Bill of Rights entities us to
express ourselves as we please.
But along with freedom comes

responsibility for one's actions
and decisions.
But a~ a
descendant of African slaves, I
was taught the responsibility of
freedom by my relatives.
I
don't take my responsibilities
and
freedoms . for
granted.
Students who decide to shave
their
heads,
for
whatever
reasons, should be responsible
enough
to
consider
the
consequences of the decision.

Guns not a

problem
Dear Scott Yoos:
People like you are why I
elected to get out of Evergreen
as soon as po~sible. I therefore
graduated in 3 1/2 years, rathcr
than the customary 14.
Your
closeminded view on fi rearms is
so pathetic it shouldn ' t even
rate a response, but you are so
misinformed I felt it necessary
to write this letter.
Did you ever stop to think
about the security officers? Do
you think they like being out at
night
unarmed
when
every
rapist, hood and otlier deviant
in
the
state
knows
that
"Evergreen security doesn ' t have
guns, we can do whatever we
want there and not worry about
getting caught"?
Evergreen Security officers
must. rely on Thurston County
Shenff's deputies if a violent
situation occurs, and they can
be up to an hour away!
I could go on and debate this
i!,sue with statistics, reason and
intel.ligence, but I
am 'only
afraId that you and you r toadies
will just shut your minds to
truth, as usual.
Michael Shaudis
Class of '81

Evergreen, whether we like it or
not .
And when some of the
most visibly active students are
ignorant enough to pull a stunt
such as what happened Friday
evening, it really is no wonder
at all why there isn 't a whole
lot of ethnic diversity within
the .student popUlation.
If I
were a prospective student at
Evergreen, and heard a group of
students, the majority of whom
are of European descent, didn't
have the common courtesy and
respect to at least wait for the

guests before they devoured the
finger foods, I definitely would
have second thoughts.
But, I
am here.
This incident alone shows
how much students of color
often have to gave up of
themselves.
What did those of
you who took part in this feast
give?
During the time of
sharing,
you
took
and
left
nothing but bones and your
other trash.

GOP warped the 'L' word
Although I am a Democrat - I
feel that the recent campai~n
strategies
utilized
by
the
Republican Party (George Bush,
Slade Gorton, and Bill Wight in
particular)
deserve
special
recognItIOn.
Their
use
of
semantics was the cleverest I
have witnessed in years.
For example, take the new
definition of a lib eral.
The
word itself has been given such
a highly negative index, it's
become a political torpedo that
can threaten, cripple, or sink an
opponent.
All they had to do
was
label
their
respective
opponents as being a liberal
frighten. their constituents with
misrepresentations
and
half·
truths, and they became as good

as elected .
Even Bill Wight ,
who doesn't even vote in the
state
he ' s
su pposed
to
be
representing, climbed on the
bashing bandwagon , and nearly '
won the election-- he's only
1,612
vote
behind
lolene
Unsoeld. I wonder, is Bill wight
as stauQch an environmentalist
as George Bush?
A final note:
perhaps your
readers should look up thc
actual definition of liberal in
their Funk & Wagnall's.
They
may then understand why the
GOP fought so hard to keep
anybody liberal out of public
office.
Skip Elliott Bowman

Letters full of hate
Once upon a time there was
a boy who was a Greener long
bcfore he came to Evergreen.
He came for the self-education
and the chance to be with hi s
own kind. He found that a few
Greeners were of a different
voice.
He was reading CPJ's
letter page and he noticed a
trend in the emotions of the
letters. The trend was that of

voicing hatred to another.
He
was saddened by the verbal war.
He rememberes the compassion
of two people talking over their
differences face to face .
He
noticed that being strong with
hatred wouldn't bring resolution
or peace.

What makes Olympia

What makes a city AIlAmerican?
The number of
Caucasians living within it? As
a Person of Color, I have not
yet been accepted
by
this
society as being American . No
matter how long a Person of
Color has lived in the U.S.A.,
because
of
superficial
differences
we
are
not
considered
"American."
According
to
this
society,
"American" means pale skin
(unless you live in Southern
California), light hair and large
"round" eyes.
People who have dark skin,
dark hair and so called "sla nted"
eyes
(although
the
eyeball
consisting of the pupil, iris and
whatever else is located in the
eye socket is comparatively just
as large and "round") are not
considered "American." Case in
point: my sister Edna was born
and raised in New York ' City,
U.S.A.
She has no trace of a
Korean accent.
Yet, she is a
victim of racist remarks like "go
home Chin k, go back to you r

If "Everybody's

human beings had everything
they own taken away simply on
the basis of race.
European immigrants, no
matter
how
recent,
are
automatically
considered
"American" merely because they
can "fit in" to a crowd.
An
Afro-American does not.
An
Asian-American does not.
A
Chicano or Latino-American does
not.
Not even a NATIVE
AMERICAN is considered to be
an "All-American"!
Tell me, what makes a
Joe/Jane Doe an American but
not me? I eat hamburgers, hot
dogs and apple pies.
I drink
Coca-Cola. I cheer at football
games. I've watched the movie
"E.T: And yes, my family owns
a domestic car-- a Chevrolet at
that! (Their commercial slogan
is "The Heartbeat of America,
That's Todays Chevrolet.")
So
~why is it that my sister still
gets remarks like "go back to
where you came from"?
I'm
sure she'd be glad to go back to
New York, it's beautiful this
time of year you know . Geez.
Tell me, you who have those
thoughts or words enter your
mind and even come out of your
mouth, why are People of Color
not considered to be "American"
even though they are a citizens
of America?
'
Is
Olympia
an
"All
American City" because it is a
predominantly Caucasian city?

Ii ved in America had thei r
homes, businesses and access to

they were concentration camps
and don't let anyone fool you
into thinking that they weren't
"really concentration camps."

'No matter how long a
Person of Color has lived in the USA, because
of superficial differences we are not considered 'American '. "

Masses of people, strictly on
the basis of race had their civil

make that TAKEN AWAY. Don't
give me that crap, and yes I do

So tell me, why is it that
Afro-Americans,
Asian/Pacific

Latino Americans, even NA TlVE
Americans are not considered to
be "All American" yet the
EUROPEAN American is? (Yes,
that is a rhetorical question. I
don't expect an answer.) I am
just pointing out the hypocrisy
and irony of the term "AllAmerican" because it IS so
blatantly racist to me as a
Person of Color. I will not just

I

Evergreen changes for the better
So far this year there ha ve
been
at least
three
letters
written
about
the
changes
Evergreen
is
experiencing.
Personally I liked the one dated
Nov . 10th by Jerry Franz which
supported
the
progressi ve
changes Evergreen is making.
I am writing in response to
Jonathan Daniels' letter, dated
Nov. 17th.
In his letter,
Jonathan commented about how
the Corner Cafe's move to the
new
community
center
represents "the thrust toward
the mainstream of the '90's."
First of all, that's the most
absurd thing I've ever heard of.
Maybe the Corner Cafe wanted
to be able to serve more people
healthy,
vegetarian,
and
politically
correct
food.
Jonathan Daniels also failed to
mention the expansion of the
Deli, or that Marriot banned
styrofoam. What a pessimist!
But what really got to me
was the total disregard for The
Branch. The Branch also moved
to the new community center
last January along with The
Corner Cafe. Is the Branch not
as important as the Corner?
And I don't see the Branch's
move to the community center
having anything to do with
mainstreamism. I am not saying
this because I just so happen to
work there. The Branch has no
plans to install a gas pump
Pag-e 4

outside the community center or
change
it's
name
to
"Branchmart."
However, the
Branch is always trying to grow
and change to better serve its
customers. ' For example, the
Branch is currently exploring a
way to serve espresso to its
customers.
Then, perhaps, the
Branch will change its name to
"Cafe Le Branch :
Next week, someone will
probably
write
a
letter
criticizing this one contending
that David Wagner only wrote
the letter for free advertising
and he wanted to see his name

in the paper, This simply is not
true. Because if ·,it were true, I
would mention that the Branch 's
hours are: 6-11pm Mon-Sat and
l-lipm on Sundays.
Be's ides,
the Branch already took out an
ad witb the slogan "PEACE
THROUGH POPTARTS." The ad
didn't bring in
more sales
because the Branch has no need
to advertise. The Branch could
have just paid for an ad for the
Corner hoping that people will
see what the Branch has to
offer while dining at a low cost,
healthy place to eat.
And
about
my
name

appearing in the paper:
I've
alreadyhadmynameintheCPJ
twice, the first time in last
year's
greener-speak
column,
and this year for the comments
the
Branch 's
clientele
gave
concerning the results of the
presidential election.
But, as
long as I am writing a letter, I
might as well just say it-David Wagner. David Wagner,
David Wagner, David Wagner.
Hee heel!!
Lock me up!
I'm
going crazy!

Changes In election process are needed
by Dan Snuffin
Tbe United States election
process
is
outdated
and
ineffective.
If you put this statement on
the ballot, it would probably be
the only thing the majority of
voters could agree on. It's time
that we take a second look at
how our government officials
are chosen and modify the
system to fit modern society.
What follows is a list of
changes that should be made in
the system in order for the
American
public
to
avoid
excessive nausea in 1992.
1. Elimination of polls. In the
1988 election, the polls decided

the winners months before the
public went to the voting
booths. Americans do not need
someone to think for them .
Elimination of these pre-election
polls would give voters a chance
to
decide
for
themselves,
without the daily media telling
them who is winning or losing
according to statistics.
2. Elimination of the Electoral
College, or Electoral votes. Take
a look at the statistics. When
you count the popular vote,
Bush was supported by 54% of
voters, Dukakis 46%. Yet when
you look at electoral votes,
Bush won 426 and Dukakis won
112. It is obvious that the

electoral
vote is not truly
representati ve of the popular
vote.
3. Limit campaign spending. In
the state elections, it would
ensure equality between the
candidates. No longer would
wealth necessarily mean power.
4. Require the candidates to
take stands on the real issues.
One complaint .of the general
public
was
that
the
1988
elections lacked real issues. As

a result, (according to USA
Today)
roughly
half
of
registered voters showed up at
the polls, the lowest number
since 1924.
Face it: the pledge of
allegiance and the "L" word are
not real issues. The real issues
in modern society are the
national debt, unemployment and
foreig~ - relations.
If
the
positions of each candidate were
clear, a greater percentage of

the public could decide who to
vote for.
5.
Request that the media
cooperate.
At
approximately
7:30, thirty minutes before the
voting ended in Washington
state, the networks proclaimed
that Bush had enough votes to
carry the election, A'nd as was
mentioned
be fore,
TV
and
newspaper polls called the race
many months ago. Calling the
race before it happens is unfair

others, which function as a new

according to
Covert Action. And by levying
economic boycotts and labor
strikes, they "have effectively

themselves almost
completely
from
Israeli
institutions."
The recent consensus on
statehood among the 428 member
Palestinian National Council, was
in itself, a "struggle within" the
Palestine Liberation Organization
for over 20 long years. The

Opinion
Arming security won't make TESC safer
by Jim Allbaugh
Guns. Should the Evergreen
State
College
security
be
allowed to carry them? It is a
di fficult
question, one that
should not be taken lightly. It
is an inquiry that affects the
whole Evergreen community, and
that means it can affect you
and I, and should be addressed
by all of us, the community as a
whole.
Should security be
allowed to carry firearms, and
thus possible someday use them?
For this writer the answer is
"no."
Many people cringe at the
thought
of
having
armed
security officers at Evergreen.
Perhaps this reaction IS simply
emotionalism gone awry, and
thus overcomes our ways of
thinking critically.
Yet, this
feeling should. not be ignored.
There is something wrong with
the idea
and
actuality of
security
possessing
firearms.
Why is this idea repUlsive? To
put it quite simply, guns are
dangerous things. They can kill.
It takes a minute bit of pressure
[normally an ounce) on a trigger
to destroy another person' s Ii fe.
Is it truly so dangerous at
Evergreen that our security
feels it necessary to have guns?
Has the growth and changes at
Evergreen deteriorated our own
pe,rsonai well-being?
It seems
as if by letting our security
have guns, we- ar-e simply
dumping the problems of our
community onto the shoulders of
security. Are we to the point
now where we actually believe
that more guns will create a
better sense of security? This
is a false sense of safety, and a
deadly one at that.

Even if our security officers
toted guns, violent acts would
still occur, perhaps even rise. _
There is something underlying
all of this that must be
addressed, something that would
ensure the safety, morality, and
well being for all persons of
this
community,
and
that
something is the responsibility
that you and I both share.
There
are
those
who
believe security should indeed be
allowed to carry guns.
Some believe it is paranoia
on the part of the community
that keeps security unarmed,
and thus, a possible victim of
violence.
This paranoia is a
belief that if an officer carries
a
gun
that
officer
will
accidentally shoot someone on
campus or use the weapon to
intimidate people. These, some
believe, are false concerns and
simply will not happen if the
security officers are trained
adequately. However, to ignore
such a possibility is foolish.
It is doubtful that security
officers at Evergreen would ever
use their weapons to intimidate
others.
Evergreen's security
officers are too understanding
and
responsible
for
such
behavior. Yet, whether or not
they might accidentally shoot
someone
is
not
as
easily
determined.
But accidents do
happen. Even the best trained
police officers can accidentally
shoot an innocent human being.
It has
happened
to police
officers
and
their
victims
before, and it can happen here.
Death does not target just the
"bad guys," it can accidentally
target you and I.
Guns +
Human Error = Death.

There
are
many
comparisons, as of late, between
unarmed Evergreen security and
armed security at other colleges.
Yet, to say, ".. .look, they have
guns, why shouldn't we?" does
not re fleet on the other possible
solutions here at Evergreen.
Every
college has different
problems as well as unique
svlutions.
TESC in particular,
has and will continue to find
answers for di fficuIt questions.
We cannot, however, simply
embrace the decisions made by
other colleges such as Western
Washington State University, the
University of Washington, or
Washington State University .
Another argument IS that
Evergreen is a part of the rest
of society, which means it is
not immune to outside dangers.
It is exactly for this reason why
the Thurston County Police
Department
responds
to
instances of armed aggression at
Evergreen,
and
not
TESC
security.
Security
is
not , ~"
allowed to enter a potentially
dangerous situation without the
back up of the Thurston County
police. If there IS a report of,
say, an armed robbery, security
is not supposed to confront an
armed person. We are a part of
the larger community and are
thus protected by the Thurston
County Police Department.
There is also a misconception
that crime is going to get worse
before it gets better, and for
that reason: alone we should
have armed security . It is true
that acts of violence as well as
other crimes are occurring more
often at Evergreen. So to deter
this impending and inescapable
crime wave, we must simply arm

security? How untrue! If there
are in fact growing problems of
violence at Evergreen, we should
not believe that arming security
will alleviate the problem. That
would cure the symptoms and
not the cause.
We
each
have
the
responsibility for each others
safety an~ well being.
Since
there are growing trends of
vandalism, violence, and other
irresponsibilities,
we,
the
community, should unite and
cooperate to find solutions for
these growing problems.
We
should create a deterrence to
such aggression
from either
outside or inside the community,
and not by arming our security.
We should not think solely ID
terms of "they" protect "us," for
if we continue to think in such
a way, a situation will arise
where "they" will carry guns.
Security not only protects
the Evergreen community but is
also a part of , it. It would be
unfair to have a handful of
dedicated people take the burden
of ensuring the safety of those
who
are
CItizens
of
the
Evergreen community.
We should remember that
there are as many other ways of
protecting au r secu rity as well
as protecting our community
then
arming
the
security
officers.
Evergreen,
for
instance, has a dire need to hire
more security officers. Let us
arm ounelves with unity, rather
than arming just a few.

Gail Martin, Vice President
for Student Affairs, was the
chair of the 1985 DTF which
recommended keeping Campus
Security in its present status.
As Vice President, she is Chief
of
Security
Gary
Russell's
supervisor. She still supports the
DTF's recommendations.
The DTF also recommended
increasing staffing so that no
officer would be unaccompal).ied
on duty. Two additional officers
are
required
to
meet
this
recommendation. Evergreen IS
requesting . funding
for
one
additional officer.
The DTF report states that,
"In our study of the central
issues, we found no compelling
reasons to change the status of
Evergreen' s Security Department
at this time. It is our conclusion
that insufficient evidence wa s
presented
for
converting
Security to a police departm e nt
and
for
arming

contrary to majority campus

Recently, I talked with a
faculty
from
campqs
who
mentioned how nice it is to hear
from
students
after
they
graduate.
So often a student
will graduate and never tell
anyone what they are doing or
where they are.
In Career Development we
know
what
some
of
our
graduates are doing because we
send surveys asking them to
send us this information. The
surveys are how we obtain our
placement statistics.
What our
Placement Report does not show
is the human in terest side of
the survey. In addition to the
usual questions asking what
graduate school they attend or
where they are employed, we
ask them to respond to other
questions.
Here are a few
comments graduates made on
"Please
characterize
your
experience
since
leaving
Evergreen and what were some
of the highs?"
"Getting
into
graduate
school."
"Thanks to my internship, my
experience helped me in my
present job."
"Belnl awarded a graduate
assistantship at the University
of Wyoming."
"Meeting a great bunch of
people
at
Willamette
Law
School."
"Marriage, a new job, and a
new home."
"Trip to India."
"No
more
studying
and
commuting."
"Sense of achieveme ;lt.
I
wanted a college education for
years."
"Excelling in Medical School."
"I started a bookstore."
"A sale of an article to
"Quilt" magazine."
"Getting re -acquainted with
my spouse and children."

Often, we are asked, "What
is the difference between an
MBA and an MPA and which one
is the best?
Well, next week,

these questions. In addition to

Tennis grew interested in the
project during
the
program
WORD AND IMAGES last spring.
OUT OF SILENCE is th e
labor of nine months work.
Having completed eight pieces of
art by the end of the spring
quarter, Tennis continued hi s
work over the summer and into
a current individual contract in
order to complete thi s exhibit.
Tennis's main motivation s for
the project include both the
work of Holocaust-era Jewi sh
artists, and the
fact man y
people view the Holocaust as a
horror isolated in time and place
to Germany and the European
Jews. "The fact that it happened
in Germany is really irrelevant,"'
Tennis says, going on to add
that he hopes OUT OF SILENCE
will make its viewers question
themselves.
"As an artist, no matter how
depict, the Holocau st, it
doesn't show half of the horror,
tbe bell, that it was."

Cycling: Rights and responsibilities
by Todd Litman
If you are bicycling at
Evergreen you will need to
know
your
rights
and
responsibilities from an adult
bicyclist'S perspective .
Many
people make the mistake of
considering bicycles toys that
follow unique traffic rules or
have questionable access to ride
on the road.
BICYCLISTS ' RIGHTS. Every
sta te,
including
Washington,
gi ves bicyclists the right to use
public roads. Don ' t let anybody
convince
you that
bicyclists
have less rights becaus e we do
not pay fuel tax (I'll address
that issue in a future article).
The roadway boundary is u sually
indicated by a white "fog line "
outside of which is the road
shoulder.
We are entitled to
use
either,
with
a
few
exceptions.
Bicycling is allowed on many
of
Washington's
freeway
shoulders (mostly outside of
urban areas) during daylight
hours.
The Department of
Transportation has maps to let
you know where. Bicyclists are
also allowed to ride on paths
and sidewa lks. Bicycling is not
allowed on sidewalks within
business districts.
