There

throughout the campus confining
us and restricting us. There are
actually "Rules" now .
Dogs are no longer permitted

their owner present.
Why was
this necessary?
I am outraged
that
our
"trustees"
find
it
necessary to pass this rule and
turn our school into one with
traditional rules.
Lets face it ,
the animals roaming free was
quite a statement.
The
Campus
Recr ea tion
Center also has rules now.
No
doubt they were adopted by this
ridiculous board of "trustees."
There are obnoxious signs on
the
front
door saying "No
entrance without a student id .
So don't even think about it."
Do they think the CRC is a

requires a special pass?

Are these the same "trustces"

little or no usc to the s tudcnb?
It will come in handy when the
"trustees"
plan
to

inter-collegiate sports.
Why
weren't the students asked about

the
campus?
The "trustees" act

they ask the st uden!s what they

was feelings of friend~hip and

Students were the ones
who made up the school. There

listened.
I, for one, do not plan to
follow the rules by "trustees"
who probably never VISIt this
college and don ' t know what our
needs are. It [the rule making)
is all part of their plan to
change this college. We should

Homophobic bigot a bandit
As part of National Comin~
OutDay , L / GRC volunteers hU:lg
a banner in the CAB . It read:
"Gaiety is a great moral good
and a high spiritual value, as
well as being a key to the
univcrse.
This quotc is taken
from an essay written by Jame s
Broughton , which appeared In
Mark
Thompson ' s book
Gay
Spirit.
James Broughton is an
acclaimed
poet ,
and
internationally
renowr.ed
filmmaker, and a friend of Jean
Cocleau, Allan Watts, and oth e r
noteables.
To the person who tore this
banner in half, let me say tha l
this action is an act of vio!ence
against James's person, and a
show of utter disrespect for the
Gay and Lesb ian students, s t a fr,
and faculty here at Evergreen.
There are not enough
foul
expletives in my vocabulary to
describc the filth that I think
you are, but I will say that your
act of anonymous bigotry put s
you right up there with the
hood cd
cowards
who
call
themselves the Ku Klux Klan .
Perhaps
you
are
not
the
despicable wretch I presume, and
you will stop by the L/GRC
(Lib. 3223) and put a face on
your prejudice. Until you do, I
consider you a danger to our
educational climate.
Homophobia
born
of
ignorance
is
ed u cable,
but
homophobia that hide s is an
insidious poison that will not b~
tolerated. I appeal to everyone
on this campus to recognize that
we are living in a homophobic
environment, and to takc steps
to inform ourselves and each
other
about
the
absolutl!
neccssity
of
aeccpting
differences -our survival depends
on
it.
Do
not
tolerate
homophobic remarks and actions
among
your
friends
and
aquaintances.
This oppressive
behavior endangers the liberty
of every la st one of us.
Gay and Lesbian people are
n')t going to go away because
some bigot rips up our banners,
and tears down our flyers (all
th at does is run up our xerox
bills).
Open your hearts and
'your minds!
Move past your
bourgois fears, and listen to the
message that our love offers.

THE EVERGREEN
STATE COLLEGE
BOOKSTORE
Board of Trustees trashes DTF proposal
For several years, the school
has thought, writte'n, discussed,
and
argued
about
a
new
Gricvance and Appeals policy.
Few denied the need for a new
policy, but also few agreed 'on
its content.
By February of this year,
two major proposals h ad been
set befor.e this community, one
from a student group called
S.A.C.R.E.D., and one from the
Vice-President
for
Studcnt
Affairs. They were written by
diametrically opposed individuals
and
as might be expected,
can tained diametri call y opposed
views.
But they had something in
common.
They
were
both
• written by very s mall, very
isolated groups of very, very
interested individuals, by people
that have been' or st ill are
intimately
involved
in
the
grievance process and who hold
strong and largely unalterable
opinions about how that process
should be run . There fore, it is
not surprising that thc studentwritten proposal would make life
so much more difficult for an
administrator,
and
the
administration proposal would
lJIake life much more difficult
for a student.
But
in
February,
after
discussion of these proposals
turned more to argument, work
began on a
third proposal.
Charged
by
the
President's
Advisory Board and welcomed by
both
the
Trustees and
lhe
students, the
Grievance
and
Appeals DTF was born.
The DTF, and its individual
members, represented everything
the authors of the previous
proposals did not.
We· we re
from a broad spectrum of this
communi t y; chosen, not selfappoi nted: with little , if a ny,
previous knowledge or opinion
on this issue ; but willing to
work much harder and longer to
learn lhan anyone expected of
us. The DTF worked to inform
the community as much as
possible in our very short timeframe, and to solicit extensive
public comment.
We consulted
with both the administration and
student authors, · and thoroughly
considered their OpinIOnS, as
well as those of any community
member who volunteered them.
And finally we wrote a proposal
which
we presented to the
community through publication
in
both
the
CPJ and
the
Evergreen Free Press.
Unfortunately, the ideas in
this
proposal
ncver
had
a
chan~ to become policy, and at
the next board meeting, the
Trustees had them swiftly and
unilaterally
put
to
death.
Students and others came to the
public portion of the meeting,
only to find that the Trustees
had already decided to make
their own sweeping changes in
our work, and to have changes
written by none other than the
author . of
the
previou s ly
protested administration draft.
So we no longer had a
community-based DTF proposal
under consideration.
Instead,
we
had
two
administration
drafts, one a slightly revised
versIon
of
the
earlier
administrat ion
proposal,
the
other
the
torn
and
ripped
remains of a policy that was
never allowed to be considered.
Neithcr represents the DTF's
work, and both are totally and
unreservedly unacceptable. The
Trustees merely added insult to
injury when they later chose to
ignore even the shreds of the
DTF's work, and passed the
administrat ion proposal.
Today,demand that the
DTF's work be reborn.
The
entire DTF process and the
spirit of the community at
Evergreen will be rer.dercd a
farce if the most communitybased proposal yet written on
this
issue
is
denied
any
community discussion . I realiu
that it has been understood that
work on any policy
wo'u ld
continue long after preliminary
passage by the Trustees, and
that it would last at least
through Fall quarter, including a
public hearing on October 24.
But the
Trustees
f ai led
to
inform me or the community
that only their ideas would form
the basis of that continuing
work.
I demand · that the DTF
proposal be officially considered
and discussed, in and by the
public, before the Trustees, at
the
public
hearing,
. and
elsewhere.
There are \· :.t rlOUs
legal iss ue s whic:', since th e
Board insisted upon a lterin b the
means of dealing with them,
must at the very
le a~t
be
explained to the community by
the lawyers among the Tru s te es.
And there are a multitud.: of
policy ideas which simply do lIot
exist in any other proposal, and
which the community must be
allowed to see and discuss.
To allow
for
widespread
disc'ussion,
first,
the
DTF
proposal, as written by the DTF,
must be formally put up for
consideration
by
the
Board.
Then, every interested group or
individual, including students,
faculty,
staff, administrators,
and Trustees, must be open and
forthcoming about what they
wish to be included with this
policy, and must be willing to
speak at a public board meeting
which truly includes the public_
Students, faculty, staff, and
administrators must speak if
they wish to be heard, and the
Trustees must speak so that
their plans and opinions will no
longer be a hidden element in
the attempt to craft this policy .
Also, the Trustees must speak
eloquently if they wish to retain
the
last
of
the
slowly
diminishing trust and faith that
the 's tudents place In them.
And finally, the Trustees must
be willing to sit and negotiate,
face
to
face,
with
representatives
from
. the
students, faculty, staff, and DTF
itself, in order to negotiate a
final proposal which might be
acceptab le to all.
At Evergreen, as in so few
other
colleges,
the
students,
faculty, and staff are supposed
to join with the administration
and to have ' a say 10 the
polie'ies of the sc~oo1.
This is
part of what contributes to the
sense of community here that
we are usually . privileged to
enjoy.
.
Un fortunately, many would
call
this
entire. episode
a
symptom of the slow death of
community spirit.
To prev e nt
this death, if there is a wi "h to
prevent it, the students and
others
must
be
clear
and
forthcoming with their views,
while the Trustees must be open
about their plans and willing to
deal
with
members of
this
community
In
good
faith.
Otherwise, we must drop all
pretention of community at thi s
school and accept that we are
just another state college. I do
not wish to sound pretentious or
pessimistic , merely honest, but I
hope that when we discuss this
issue, as we will need to, it
shall be soon and it shall
productive.

Measure 97B: To 'B' or not to 'B'?
EFs learn at Evergreen
by Suzette Williams
"'t 's the polluters ' bill," '''B'
stands for big busines s." These
phrases seem to be all an yonc
on campus, including Initiative
97 supporters, knows about the
alternative proposal, 97B. Since
there
is
such
a
lack
of
information on this proposal I
decided to investigate .
Both
proposals
provide
funding
and
mea s ure s
for
hazardous waste
cleanup by
taxing "a first possession of a
ha zar dous substance." Generally '
this means substances so!d at
the wholesale level. These taxes
then go into a general fund
used for cleanup of designated
hazardous waste sites .
Joann Hamick. is~ue s director
for the 97B campaign says the
"b ig business" label IS "just
ridiculous." She says 97B, which
was passe d as
a law
la,t
October, I S the re s ult of a
compromise
between
environmental group~ and the
Washington legislature.
"It was developed over about
a three year period hy the state
legi,lature," she says. Hamid
says
after
three
years
of
deh a ting a toxic cleanup law,
seve ral
legislat o r s
and
e nvironm e ntal groups supported
an initiative to the le gi, laturc.
(Differe nt from an initiati\'e on
ballot, this one only goes to the
legislature.) They then pa,sed
the bill last October.
"It
was
a
compromisc
between groups that had been
talking for three years," Hamick
says, "there was a s trong feeling
that eve rybody had woo ." She
says it was supported by the
C itizen 's
Toxic
Coalition.
a
group formed to work on the
proposal,
by
Washi ngton
Environmental Council and othcr
environmental groups. Hamid
says there I S $15 million coming
into the state right now as a
result of 97B. A challenge began
only when WASHpirg decided to
pick the new law as a campaign
I,s ue.
Debate s about 197 and 97B
generally focu~ on one issue: the
m a nner of taxing petroleum
products. Knowing the language
of the proposals may help in
understanding the di ffe.rences .
Initiative Measure 97: Shall
a
hazardous
waste
cleanup
program partially funded by a
.70/(, tax on hazardou s substances
be enacte d?
Alternative mea s ure 97B:
Shall th e le g islature 's cleanup
program with an .8% hazardous
sub;,tance
tax,
raising
le ss
money with less coverage of
petroleum be retained?
The petroleum differcnce is
cru : :.:1 in deciding between the
t \", measures. "Wa shington ha s a
"ery lar ge oil indu stry," Hamick
s ays, "we ' re an exporting state
when it comes to oil." She says
there are four large refineries
In
the
s tat e
which
s upply
Washington's oil and are the
main
s uppli ers
for
Oregon.
Abollt one third of the oil
re fined
in
Washington
goes
directly to Oregon. according to
Hamiek.
Page 6
Cooper Point Journal
Because exported oil never
has a chance to contribute to a
hazardous
waste problem
in
Washington, 97B docs not tax oil
that le aves the state . Hamick
says if the Initiative passes "we
will be in th e position of taxing
Oregonians"
for
our
own
cleanup.
Measure 97B does not have
this tax because it would raise
the price of o il sold to Oregon,
pULLing Washington's refineries
in a less compet iti ve position,
.Hamick says. She also feels that
taxing
Oregonians
for
Washington 's hazardous waste
cleanup to be a defective policy.
She says Oregon has a number
of ways to retaliate with their
own tax on exports.
Measure 97B is a compromise "
between environmental groups
and the legislature.
There IS also a pronslOn in
the
initiative
that
would
eliminate the tax on petrol e um
exports to Oregon. if th.:ir
legislature
passes
a
toxic
cleanup law taxing petroleum.
Hamick says such a mea s ure was
passed, but funding is still being
negotiated. In
this situation
Initiative 97 raises less ' money
than 97B docs.
"They weren't trying to give
anybody a break," Hamid says,
"we don't think the money the
Initiative people claim is ther e
is
actually
going
to
come
th rough."
"Under the current law (97B)
"the oil industry is paying 50%
(of all site cleanup costs),"
Hamick says. Petroleum products
only account for 15 to 20% of
the hazardous waste probl e m,
she says, and they are "t he
single most simple substance to
clean up." lJ]itiative 97 would
raise 70% of its fund s from the
oil industry.
Hamick call the Initiative a
step backwards. "We're
li g ht
years ahead, that's why it's so
upsetting that we could lose the
law: she says. "Everybody IS
looking to Washington, we are
seen as a leader."
Initiative 97 is very simiL.r
to the Federal Superfund l aw
that has been In effect for
several years. Most involved
parties, including Environmental
Protection
Agency
repre se ntative s,
regard
the
Federal superfund as a failure.
Hamick says it is a failure
because it has no flexibility. She
says the law was presented as a
"tough approach" and has not
been successful in cleaning up
hazardous waste sites. "If a law
IS
like
the
federal
law,
everybody goes to court--they
don ' t clean up, they litigate."
Since the Federal law is so
stric\. private companies take
decisions
to
cou rt,
delaying
cleanup of designated hazardous
waste sites.
October 20 1988
While considering cleanup
programs,
the
Washington
legislature asked EPA officials
exper ienced with Superfund for
advice. "The legislature had
Federal EPA aLLorneys testify in
hearings and asked them 'what's
wrong? What can we do to avoid
repeating
those
mistakes,'''
Hamick says. The EPA attorneys
advised the legislature to "build
flexibility in your law."
"We're being called soft on
poll I.!.te rs and it's the opposite,"
Hamick says. "We'v e created a
law that has the flexibility but
still has the strength to get the
sites cleaned up."
In
the
"white
papers
prepared by the Committee for a
State Superfund
NOW! (97B
supporters), some
flexibilities
are explained. Central to these
are "covenants not-t o-sue" or
release from liability .
According to these papers,
"covenants provide businesses,
farmers and loc al governments
assurances that if they cond uct
the cleanup as required by DOE
Lhey will not be forced at some
future time to make further
payments
for
the
site ... the
Initiative 's covenants are less
certain and thus much less
likely
to
be
effective
inducements to (oUL of court]
sell lements. In
other words,
under Initiative 97 responsible
parties are
more
likely
to
litigate than cleanup ."
The Superfund law (97B)
says companies won ' t be sued at
a
future
time
if
the
can tam i nan ts are permanentl y
"destroyed,
eliminated
or
immobilized." Initiative 97 does
not specify when covenants not
to sue would or should be used.
Because of this, Hamick says
"the Initiative basically hurts
the little guy, it's the opposite
of what they're [197 s upport er$]
saying. A lot of sites out there
arc little companies," she says,
"the Initiative would probably
bankrupt them ."
Hamick cites each proposa l's
endorsers as indicative of the
effects of each. "There isn ' t one
small
business
group
that's
endorsed the initiative, there
isn't one group of farmers that 's
endorsed the initiative ," she
says, "because they kr,ow what's
going to happen if the initiati \e
passes." Measure 97B has been
endorsed
by
the
Vancouver
Columbian,
Tacoma
News
Tribune, Wenatchee World and
KOMO radio and tdevision.
Hamick says onc of 97B'5
main
supporters
IS
Representative Lorraine Hine
who "has a 100% environmental
voting record." Hami ck
says
Hine is "very upset that the
Initiative drive is continued."
Hamick
emphasizes
that
businesses are not trying to
avoid cleaning up haurdous
sites, and that 97B is not "soft
on polluters."
"If the business community
wanted to get out of cleaning
up they' d be running a ca mp aign
that said 'vote no'
and
they're not doing that, are
they?"

by S. Rudo
E.F. stands for English as a
Foreign Language. Evergreen is
the base for an E.F. program.
We have a good sized population
of people from all over the
world .
On the average about
twenty
international
s tudent s
are enrolled here per quarter.
An even larger international
group comes to our campus
through the E .F. International
Language School.
While it's easy to see the
E.F. students In A Dorm or
walking to classes, the E.F.
organization is not as visible. I
talked with the director of E.F:
here at Evergreen to learn more
abou t the program.
The E.F. com pan y could be
described as a "multi cu ltural
company."
Although a large
part of E.F. is language scnools,
it also organizes . tours
for
cultural interest groups and has
an exchange foundation. E.F.
offices are located all over the
world, in all four corners of the
U .S., and at Evergreen's own
Seminar Building.
The Evergreen E.F. student
may come from many countries
and range in age from sixteen
years and up. Most come from
Japan and Mexico an dare in
their early twenties. There are
others from Spain, Columbia,
Switzerland, Italy, Scandinavia,
and Germany, and many other
places. They all come with the
goal of. learning English.
The reasons to learn English
are varied.
Some need it for
business, some fur sc hool and
some just because they want to.
One student was a 72 year old
retired man from France who
spent his time sailing the world.
He felt that learning English
would open new possibilities in
his t ra vels.
Because the E.F. sessIOns
usually
don't
coincide
with
Evergreen
semesters,
contact
between Evergreen students and
E .F . students is more difficult.
Unlike Evergreen, E .F. is busiest
in t he summer.
Once things
start to slow down for E.F. in
the fall, the craziness begins for
Evergreen.
Another obstacle against
th e mixing of E.F. students with
Evergreeners is housing.
All
E.F . students live together on
the third and fourth floor of A
dorm .
Although this makes
organization easier, it is not
verv co'nducive to mingling with
Evergreen students.
This year,
E .F. hopes to develop some
programs that will bring the
E.F. students and
Evergreen
students closer together.
The CPJ will be printing
monthly
interviews
with
international
students
about
their
lives,
cultures
and
countries. Traveling the world
is not the only way to learn
about other cultures.
All we
need to do is look a bit closer
into our own community.

S & A supports
new timeline
by Michael Perez, S & A Board
Coordinator
At the Friday, October 14th
S & A Board meeting, the Bo ar d
passed a resolution in support of
the Governance timeline that
has been distributed to the
program seminars and the CPl.
Resolution 1-89 is as follows:
Whereas the time line and
plan for governance as proposed
by
Thang
is
in
no
way
inconsistent with the directives
put forth by the S '& A Board
at the end of Spring Quarter
last year.
Whereas
the
information
regarding this plan is before the
student body is currently being
distributed by a number of
students in programs.
Whereas
critical
faculty
support of student involvement
is, at alL.all time high.
Whereas the likelihood of
student involvement is at an all
time high.
Be it resolved that the S &
A Board gives its full support to
the proposal as articulated by
Thang and printed in the CP J
and distributed to . students in
programs.
You've always done things a little
differently. For you there's Zig Zag
premium cigarette tobacco. It's
blended for American tastes,
smooth and mild. Zig Zag's long cut
makes it easy to roll. And you get
twice as much tobacco for the same
price as machine made brands.
Sure, rolling your own cigarette is a
little out of the ordinary, but what's
so great about being ordinary?

Irangate violates Constitutional intent
by Darrel W. Riley
The Iran-Contra Affair is one
of the darkest momenLs in
American history. People from
all walks of life, from all part s '
of the political spectrum were
concerned, upset , and baffled.
Why would a government sell
arms to a country which had
humiliated it earlier by taking
an embassy, and then take the
profit from those arms sales to
support an army of malcontents
without any
real
hope
of
achieving any sort of victory?
The Iran-Contra affair is
di fficult to so;;t ou t, with
figures
appearing
and
disappearing from the scene .
No one seems to know exactly
what happened. But while the
affair is very confusing and
complex
the
reasons
it
happened, and the problems it
caused are basically simple.
To understand why the IranConHa was such a blot on
A:merican history one must first
understand the reasoning behind
the decision.
Let's start with
Iran.
Look at a map of the Middle
East.
Iran has a long border
with the Soviet Union.
For
many years Amcricans had used
that border as a listening post
into the Soviet Unior.. A large
part of the CIA budget has gone
to build electronic listening
devices to discover what the
Soviets are up to.
Iran also has a warm-water
port,
something
the
Soviet
Union covets.
Now, let's play pretend.
It is 1979 and the Shah, a
CIA puppet, has just been
overthrown.
No longer does
America have direct control over
the Iranian Government.
But wait a minute.
The
Soviet Union is composed of a
senes of republics.
'U.S.S.R
means Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics. Russia is just one of
those republics.
Tbe Russians
are the larg'e st, but because of
the cramped quarters is Russian
cit ies the birth rates are going
down.
At the same time the
population
of
the
Islamic
Republics is getting larger. The
Russian leadership is worried.
Soon they will be outnumbered.
The Iranians have a new
leader, a new religious leader.
Most of the Soviets who worship
Islam belong to Suni hlam, the
Iranians are Shiite. But if the
revolution
ever jumped
the
border the Soviets would play ·
hell trying to quell it.
Iran looks good to the
American government. If they
can't use Iran as a base, at
least they can make su re Iran is
a strong thorn in the sides of
the Soviets.
I f only the
Iranians hadn't captured the
American . embassy, and taken
hostages.
That was the situation
when Ronald Reagan took office.
Being a man whose grasp on
history
is
shaky
at
best,
President Reagan kind of forgot
that Iran was our "enemy:
'A fter all', he must ha ve said to
himself, 'they can help us fight
the Comm ies.
Who's worse,
religious fanatics, or the Red
Menace?'
To a Administration which
had
come
into
power
by
appealing to religious fanatics,
the choice was easy.
The
Iranian strategic position was
too strong to ignore. A fter all,
what if they suddenly decided to
let the Soviets use their ports?
Suddenly
the
Soviets
could
control our oil. Bad news for
America.
Part II.
Israel needs
kudos. The Arab nations hate
them.
They need a way of
making friends.
What better
way then to sell
arms
to
a
country
that's
fighting a war.
Okay, Israel,
you act as middle man for our
arms deal here.
Part III.
Iran, ' co.nsiders~·
America the Great Satan. (Who
wouldn't, these are people so
dumb they send chocolate and a
Bible as a peace offering.
A
Where do they think
Bible?
Jesus spent his life , Ohio'! )
However, America has bombs.
Lots of bombs.
Good bombs.
Bombs that make a big boom.
America bas an entire economy
ba~ed on building big bO'l1bs that
go boom.
Okay, let's sec.
America has too many bombs.
Iran needs bombs. Simple "greed
here.
Part IV . Iraq is our buddv
too. They also gi ·. e us oil. But
we ' can' t sell them bombs, we
alread y sold
them
to
f.he
Iranians.
Let's give
them
satellite photos of Iran instead.
I know giving maps to th e Ira<;is
looks silly
a nd
will
ma k,'
everyone angry at us, but bear
with me.
We're dealing with
people who aren'.t too bright,
but they can at least read maps.
So much for the Middle East.
Selling arms and making friends
starts to make sense if you look
at a map and you don ' t know
anything about history or the
people in the region.
Now, we make all this money
selling arms.
What do we do
with it?
I know, let' s g ive it
to this cause in Central Aml."rica
that the American people aren't
very happy about.
If any
country were to do to America
was we try to do the Nicaragua,
the American Government would
declare
war.
It's
called
meddling in a country's internal
affairs and it's one of the real
no-no's in international politics.
·However, we-re America. We're
bigger then everyone else, so
we'll just
be
assholes and
meddle in there internal affairs
anyway', in spite or tbe World
Court,
There's one little problem.
The American people are stupid,
but they haven't forgotten the
last
time
the
American
Government meddled: Vietnam.
At least 57,000 Americans died
fO.r . that one.
There are even
people starting to say things
like, "No More Vietnams." Bad
news.
The only way to make the
American people completely lose
all sense of rationality and
sense is to say Communist. All
we have to do is say that we
are fighting Communism and
everything will be fine. I f we
get in trouble, Uncle Ollie, you
wear
your
uniform,
Uncle
Poindextor, you smoke your pipe
and look wise, Uncle Secord,
you wear your uniform, and the
American people will forgive.
So there you have it, the
Iran-Contra
connection
explained.
What's so bad about it?
Not much.
A small matter
really.
What the framers of the
Constitution
set
up
the
American
Government
they
separated the power. They gave
the power of the purse to
Congress.
When
the
Reagan
Admi.nistration sold arms to Iran
and
received
money
they
violated the most fundamental
precept of the Constitution_
They did exactly what the
Constitution was set up to
preven t.
Congress
handles
money.
The . Administration
sets policy. Easy. Not hard to
under stand. ·
Iran-Contra
violated it. Why is it so hard
for the American people to
understand? This ba ffles me.
The Iran-Contra hearings are
over now .
So what can be
done?
Get a map!
A lot of the
policy for this country begins to
make sense if you get a map.
It's
no
more
ag reeabl e,
sometimes it's still downright
stupid, but at least it s more
understandable.
Learn everything you can.
The Soviet Union and America
are growing closer because there
is a new world power which may
be stronger then either, the
force of Islam.
This isn't
surprising,
except
to
most
Americans and Soviets.
We're
an insular bunch, I'm sad to say.
Keep reading the CPl.
promise, if you keep reading
you'll learn.
You may not
always like it but you will learn.
If you vote, please think
carefully before you vote for a
man who speaks with a flag at
his back but does not seem to
have read the Constitution. We
are
one
of
the
oldest
g9vernments on this planet at
this moment.
Now is 'not the
time
to cbange because of
someone who can't read.

At least my smile will be ready for Japan
by Ellen Lambert
[Editor's l!Ote} The CPJ will
be trackillg people throllgholll
the school year to see what
they think of the school, the
social life, the changes that are
being made, and anything else
they
want
to
silarl'.
Ellen
Lambert is the first, more 10
follow.
V,' hen I think that I have less
than two weeks before I lea\'o~
for .lapan , I panic. I still have
all of my packing todo, and I'm
s till waiting fo r a document
from Japan allowing me to apply
for a stu dent \·isa.
Those
constitute my major concerns,
I have a million and one other
little thin gs that "really should
be tak en care of" before I
leave, but I will not elaborate
on these details just now.
When asked just why I want
to go to Japan, I usually t!xplain
that I
want
to study
the
language and culture . Actua ll y,
I'm not really sure exactly what
I hope to learn
from
my
experience .
It all started back in high
school when I applied to be an
exchange to Japan.
To my

I knew absolutely n othing about
the country or the language.
My year in Japan wa, tough, but
rewarding .
Now , once again , I have bCl'n
accepted
to
,tudy
as
an
exchange student in Japan . This
time
hope to push myself
harder to - learn the language,
and to do a bit more traveling.
Another Evergreen student,
Lisa Carson, has also het!n
accepted as an exhange student
to Japan. We will both study at
Miyazaki University in Japan
this year.
Being the sort of
person who is prone to extreme
procrastination, I have reached
the point where I am actually
starting to doubt whether or not
I will be able to get everything
ready before my departure.
I
went
to the
dentist
today. I have bet!n pUlling off
that visit for three years now.

acted like he was impressed
with my teeth.
All four of my wisdom

IT'S NATIONAL PIZZA MONTH!

Now, the federal Superfund
law
gives
the
EPA
(Environmental
P.rol'ect!on
Agency) and the Pre si dent the
authority to clean up hazardou~
waste sites and make those
people
re5ponsible
for
the
pollution
pay
the
cost
of
cleanup. The Superfund also
raises $1.8 billion for cleanup
programs,
Unfortunately, the Superfund
only cleans lip sites on tht!
National Priority l.ist (NPL).
This leaves- tens of thou ~a nds of
sites ineligible for cleanup.
In
Washington
there
arc
43
hazardous waste sites on the
NPL,
but
Washington
state
officials estimate there are 700
knowa sites. • The Superfund
also requires staLes pay for part
of the cleanup site.
Some states, In order to
provide matching funds for the
Superfund and to provide funds
- ' for the cleanup of non NPL
sites, have passed their own
Superfund laws.
Washington
passed a state Superfund law
giving the Washington
State
Department of Ecology limited
authority to clean up sites and
charge fees to the polluters for
cleanup.
In
1987
a
coalition
of
environmental
and
public
interest groups dissatisfied with
the lack of effectiveness of the
state Superfund, began a drive
to place an initiative question
on the 1988 ballot. To get the
initiative
on
the
ballot,
a
petition with 210,000 signatures
was required.
The coalition
succeeded,
This initiative IS
known as Initiative 97.
On November 8 voters can
vote to retain the current law
(Washington's
Superfund)
by
voting for alternative Measure
97B sponsored by big business.
Initiative 97 would raise an
average of $725 million a year
over
a
20-year
period
for
cleanup
and
prevention
of
further contami.nation through a
seven-tenths percent tax placed
on
the
producers
and
distrih"1l1:ors of toxic substances.
In comparison, 97B raises $56,4
million a year over a 20-year
period through an eight-tenths
percent tax on ' toxic substances.
Over a 20 -year period 97B would
raise $220 million less than
Initiativ e 97 due to exemptions
from paying the tax to big oil
companies.
As for the comparative
effectiveness of cleanup ' under
both 97 and 97B, 97 forces
polluters to meet with federal
cleanup
standards
and
97B
allows polluters to go below
federal cleanup standards.
With 97, standards are set
by DOE for all sites and cleanup
begins. With 97B the cleanup
can be delayed by polluters by
making the DOE review cleanup
standards for every cleanup.
Under
Initiative
97,
polluters
pay
for
permanent
cleanup of their sites.
If · any
hazardous waste is discovered
after the cleanup that poses a
threat to public health or the
environment, the polluters pay
for the cleanup of that waste as
welL Under 97B, any , cost for
cleanup after the first cleanup
can be charged to the public.
In
fines
Initiative
97
penalizes polluters $25,000 a day
and
97B
penalizes
pollut e rs
$20,000 a day,
The Initiative
exempts
people
who
u se
pesticides
and
ferti li ze rs
responsibly to grow food crops
from the cost of cleanup. 97B
exempts farmers and also -big
forestry com pan ies.
Under both 97 and 97B
citizens can sue the DOE when
the agency is not fulfilling its
purpose. Under 97, citizens can
recover the cost of the suit if
they win . Under 978, the co,t
of a suit is not recoverable.
Also,
where
97
provides
technical assistance grants Lo
community groups cleaning up
hazardous waste, 97B requires
the community groups to later
pay 20 percent of the technical
grants. This would prevent many
potential recipients from getting
such aid.
Under Initiative 97, these
technical assistance grants are
available to those who cannot
afford the cost of cleanup. 978
however, makes these grants
open Lo all polluters, including
industry and those who can
afford cleanup.
Plainly, Initiative 97 is more
effective
than
Alternative
Measure 97B.
97 raises more
money and provides it to those
who need it.
Initiative 97,
created
by
Citizens
make s
polluters pay for their pollution.
Polluters pay for the cleanup of
all sites and pay for delays now,
Under 97B, the fines are 150
pe rcer. t less ($25,000) a day
under 97 vs, $10,000 a day ' under
97B) . The time between the
cleanup's proposal and cleanup
start date IS extended under
97B. However, it should have
the goals of cleaning up the
pollution as fast as poss ible.
Then, when cleanup is under
way, provide the best cleanup
nece ssa ry; 97B ful fills neither of
these goals.
When
you
vote
on
November 8, you must first vote
"For Either" to enable you to
vote either 97 or 97B, and then
cast you'r decision for Initiative
Measure 97, the one for tough
laws, tough fines , and no deals
with big business.

Wolf Gang blues ~as too good to
Greeners are ~ell placed, report says
•
miSS
by Maur ee n I;ddy
(Oct. 21st edition)
by Lee S. Pembleton
The Elks Club was an odd
se tting
for
this
steaming
Chicago
blues.
Again st
a
tapeslTY of elks in their natural
environment, Eddie Shaw and
the Wolf Gang blew apart any
preconceptions
the
audience
might have had about a Chicago
blues
band 's
natur a l
environment. Th ese artists are
at home on the sta ge
any
s tage, anywhere.
The s how bega n wi t h a loca l
ope ning ac t: The Ba rrdh o use
Flyers. Th e Fly~rs played a
mean set o f hill bi lly blues a nd
rece i ve d a wa rm rece pti o n fr o:n
th e crowd, includin g an encore.
Followin g a s hari
break.
during which Evergret:n'S ow n
Tomas Black se t up th e so und ,
the Wolf Gang came alit. Their
name comes
from
years as
Howlin ' Wolf's band - Short v on
bass and Robert Plunkett ' on
drums. The only member of the
Wolf Gang who wasn ' t with Wolf
is Eddie Shaw Jr, the guitari s t.
Shaw
Sr
was
Wolf ' s
saxophonist and musical d : rector.
When Wolf died, Shaw stepped
into the frontman position.
The Wolf Gang opened both
of Shaw's sets; the first with a
searing spotlight on Eddie's
guitar playing, and the second
with
a
focus
on
Shortv 's
sweeping blues.
Eddie Jr is quickly becoming
a blues legend. Shorty already is
one. He growled out two cruel
blues tunes, and, on ba ss "he
sounds li.ke he's playing in the
guitarist 'S pants. " Hey,
now,
that 's tight. Shorty dese rv es his
renown .
After
the
Wolf
Gang 's
opening, Eddie Shaw Sr came
out, blowing his t enor sa x like
the bigge st. grooyiest harp thi s
sid e of the Harmonicat s.
His blu es is Chicago style,
which remedi es the hlue s by
dancing th e m right out of you.
By Shaw ' s seco;d numb e r the
d a n ce floor wa s packed. And it
didn't e mpty until the end of
the se t. The second se t was just
as hard hitting; the Elks Club
dance floor was r a re ly visible
beneath the crowd .
But that's not to say the
show was co-;';fined to one style;
really
it
was
an
aural
smorgasbord. It encompassed the
screaming guitar and wailing
cries of the blues, the writhing
R n' B which was the genesis of
rock n' roll and the progressive
jazz sound of Eddie Jr - laying
down guitar which shattered the
boundaries
bet ween
musical
styles.
A few words about Eddie
Jr: he can play guitar. He may
not have played . with Wolf, but
he sure as hell learned from
him. That other Eddie would
hide his guitar in the sand if he
were faced with Eddie Jr. While
Van Halen rots in top 40
mediocrity , Eddie Jr is tearing
holes in the aural curtain. He
sounds like he could be at home
with Sonic Youth or A.R. Kane.
Bul. he also layed down a
scaring razor sharp edge of
blues for Shaw. That versatility
a nd tal e nt is rare. You ' ll be
hearing him tear your car radio
s peak e rs to s hr ed s soo n.
Obyiously. this was a great
s how.
I
And it only broke even.
That 's a crime. For five bucks,
the price of a movie, you could
have had over four hours of live
entertai,pment. Music by masters
who' ve
been
playing
and
inventing for longer than most
of this paper's readers have
been
alive.
You
conld
see
"Bambi' -o r "Cocktail" any time. ·
But you have the chance to see
artists like Eddie Shaw and the
Wolf Gang maybe once a year.
With luck, that might ch"nge.
Mark Lipscombe, who put on
the Shaw show (with the help of
Tomas Black, the Young Elks
and numerous friends,) says that
Poetry
with a little community support
"what we have is, pot e ntially,
Olympia as a main stop for the
Chicago
blues."
Mighty
Joe
Young, Jimmy Dawkins, Phil
Guy,
and
the
next
blues
~uperstar, Blyther Smith have all
shown an interest In playing
here.
Lipscome says "the kt!y to
keeping this going is pe op le
realizing how little monry we
have . We need to h ave people
buy tickets in advance."
Lipscombe didn't break eve n
on the Sha w shl)w un ti I 8:3 0
Saturday
night.
A
f ri e nd
supplied the u'p fr o nt m oney
Lipscombe needed .
"What we need is for peo:)!e
to work three days in advance.
I.f you don't know these band~,
listen to KAOS and ask for
their songs."
That's 89.3 FM. Call 866-6833
or 866-6831. Lipscombe has his
own show on Sundays.
So, you missed Eddie Shaw
and the Wol f Gang. Well, you'll
have a seJond chance. Blues
bands love to play Oly, they
want to come here. A real ril usi c
scene could finally germinate in
this desert. All that's needed is
as little up front support. Don't
miss another show like this one.
Il's your best enterrainment buy.
It's a chance to broaden your
horizons and hear music you ' I!
like.
Talk with me
You tell me that "Men' rape, can't we both say it's people who rape,
it's as if I must be the problem, not half of the solution.
You tell me about the subtlety of "Women-hood";
It's as _if I never lived or loved with a woman, read poems by
Silvia Plath or Emily Dickenson
You talk to me like I don't see the "obvious",
It's as if the obvious can be seen as clearly as these tears in
my eyes.
You talk to me hot as a person, but as "A man in a coat n' tie";
it's as if I could or would cast off my skin, or that my beauty
stops at coat n' tie, or at the skin.
Talk with me because this is who I am, not what I am, "a man";
Talk with me because I listen.
Talk with me because I care.
Talk with me because I see.
Talk with me.

Our first "HOW TO PLAN
IMygod! Evergreen's getting bigger!'
Evergreen is changing.
Of
coarse,
you
think ,
that 's
obvious; with _ a
new
class
coming in every year it would
be impossible for it to stay the
same (no matter how hard it
tries to) . And no , this is not
another
enraged ,
incoherent
a r ticle whining a bout the 'Death
of Evergreen."
Instead,
I
thought I'd take a quick look at
just what changes are taking
place, and what they will me an
to
Evergreen
and
the
community.
Many students have not:ccd
the abundance of waiting lists
this falL Political Economy and
Social Change, for example, has
had upwards of 70 people on its
w ai t list.
It was the len g ~ h,
and the breadth, of these wait
lists that led our fearless editor
to send me au t in search
of...well, what.ever I could find
out. In my q.u est for the truth ,
I went to sec Barbara Smith ,
the academic dean . . It is from
her that I learn ed tbe horrible
story: 'My God , it's get~ing
Bigger!' Yep, it's true. In the
past few years, Evergreen ha s
bee n getting mo re and mor e
applications; more and mo re of
those acc e pted actually come
here; ·and
more
and
more
Greeners are sticking it out for
th e full four years.
It see ms
that · the
'projectedh y pothesized-appro xi mat e d
percentages' have bee n wide of
the mark . The result of all thi ~
is that TESC is faced with a
larger student pOP!llation than it
expected, and was prepared for .
This all became apparent to
which was particularly he a vy
this year.
The mo~t serious
distribution problems were In
the core and social science
programs.
Even with the 23
new faculty , some of these could
not be helped; however , some
major changes were made: in the
weeks following pre-registration,
7 programs were added and two
were dropped.
Faculty were
shifted hither and yon, taking
them from low-interest programs
and, where
possible, moving
them to areas where there was
more demand . Students both on
wait lists, and in classes with
high demand were notified by
letter of these changes in the
hopes that things would even
th-e mselves out.
(Which they
did, more or less.)
This increase in applicants
has only been a trend for a few
years. Six years ago, you could
have applied the day before
classes started and gotten in .
But, little by little, this has
been changing. What this means
to Evergreen is that incoming
students ha~e higher GPAs and
more diversity . (Even Yuppies
are coming here now!) Although
I've alway s doubted that high
grades In
high
school
had '
~ A CUT ABOVE"

color .
Barbara
Smith
admits
Evergreen has "so me substantial
problems."
The
arts,
particularly visual and film, ha ve
shortages of faculty and studio
space; several other areas ar e
short on faculty; and, as usual ,
Evergreen is short on money.
But, TESC has a long history of
being responsive to the need s of
its students.
If you ' re not
getting what you wanted out of
Evergreen, tell someone what
you
want
and ,
unless
it's
quantum physics or a community
orgy room, you have a good
chance of getting it.

the curricu lum, or are intere sted
in designing your own program,

anything to do with intelligence,
some people seem tQ think this
is a good trend.
With the
notable
exception
of
the
students, both old and incoming,
who had to make do with ihe
dregs of housing, or were forced
to live off-campus.
And the Great Change isn't
limited to the student bodv. I
mentioned ear lier that TESC had
23 new faculty this year.
Of
those, about half are women and
14
are
people
af
color.
Evergreen is working towards an
ideal 50% female and 25% of
color facuhy. Hopefully , the 11
or more new faculty expected
next year will move us closer to
this goal.
The curriculum is being
made more multi-cultural.
If
you've looked at the program
books in the store this quarter,
you've probably noticed more
