Over 200 marchers take to Olympia streets in
protest against rape and dom'estic violence
by Polly Trout
Women's d~ culminated for
many with a march against domestic
violence in downtown Olympia. The
march was peaceful, but the message
was angry. Over 200 people met at
Percival Landing last Saturday to
protest the recent murders of two
Olympia area women and to show
solidarity for women now in prison
for defending themselves against
abusive men.
The crowd marched from Percival
Landing to Sylvester Park, despite
heavy rain that broke just as the vigil
began. Candles, banners and chanting drew the attention of the pUblic.
However, not many people were
downtown, and many onlookers
could not tell what the protest was
about.
Police escort was heavy; last year
women were attacked by offended
onlookers, police said.
Marchers interviewed felt positive
about the event. "This is really important because it makes people
think," said Kyzyl Fenno-Smith .
"What people really don't want
doesn ' t happen. People don't kill
babies; it's unacceptable. Domestic
violence is tolerated," she said.
Fenno-Smith said that for domestic
violence to be stopped, "eac.h person needs to change what they think,
what they accept."
The statement of purpose for the
march read: "We are here in
solidarity and support for Twila
Ellis, who was murdered. Twila was
one of many women who lived in
fear. The fear was a result of
physical, sexual and/ or emotional
abuse from 's omeone close to them.
It is in Twila's memory and the
memory of other women who have
been murdered in Thurston or
Mason County that we silently
gather .. . We gather also in support
for the many women whose names
we do not know, but who live daily
in fear for their lives, their children's
lives, and their friends' lives.
"Tonight, we gather in solidarity.
Take note, for we will be silent no
more. Women will band together to
combine their strength and say
ENOUGH! We will not be silent or
isolated any more! Women. have a
right NOT to live in fear. Women
have a right to protection from
abuse from their partners. Women
have a right to help and protection
from law enforcement and their
community regardless of who their
offender is."
Speakers included representatives
from Safeplace, a shelter for battered women and children in Olympia who organized the event , and
Judy Barrlet, a woman who was sent
to prison for "fighting back"
against an abusive partner.
A letter form Bonnie Weiss was
read. She was sentenced to 20 years
in prison for killing her husband.
Weiss related that although her husband tried to kill her and threatened her and her daughters, no charges
were brought because the man had
friends on the police force . She said
that she killed her husband to protect herself and her ~aughters,
because the authorities would not

The stage will be set for
Evergreen's first sky concert, from
8 to 10 p.m. on Sunday, March 16.
With lights in Red Square darkened
and speakers on the rooftops, Jeffrey Bartone will present his final
senior recital.
Using a mixture of taped and live
sources, Bartone will orchestrate .
speaker use from the KAOS air
studio. This program is the fifth
KAOS broadcast in a series he has
produced called "Sound Views ."
Sound Views features "Sound Art"
such as sound sculpture, audio installations, and environmental
concerts.
The material for the sky concert
is a hybrid of his audio and radio
production efforts . The use of the
outdoor setting is to temporarily
tran sform the evening "high fideli ty" li stening environment on campus into a sound stage . Th e object
of speaker placement on the CAB,
library, CRC, and labs is not for the
sake of volume , but for dynami c
spatial focus of the sounds.
Although the concert will be audible all over campus , Red Square
should be a very good vantage point.
This is an opportunity to experience
a familiar environment -- altered.

Not all onlookers were impressed.
John Doby, one of several young
men watching the procession, said,
" I think it's kind of stupid, walking
around in the rain." His friends suggested going to court or legalizing
prostitution as truly effective means
of dealing with domestic violence
and rape .
But the marchers seemed en couraged by the turnout. Cindy Seig
and Judy Prochaw summed up the
sentiment: "We can't hide it away
in the closet anymore. People need
to be angry . Be frightened. We need
to show people that we ' re serious."
she said.
The marchers saw domesti c
violence as a serious problem and
had many suggestions about how
society could heal. Sidonie Wilson,
parent, suggested, "raising male
children to be sensitive and nonviolent , not raising them feeling like
they need to strike out at women. "
"A big part of it is what women
think of themselves ," she added.
Speakers suggested concerned individuals write to legislators, talk to
children and teach them how to st ay
safe and say no , learn self-defense,
and talk to people about it.
Juvenile suspect nabbed
by Sherry Hill
After a fast and furious search on Friday, February 28 , Securit y
officers nabbed a purse-snatching suspect in the library building, according to Sgt. Larry Savage. The 17-year-old male confessed to seve n
or eight similar incidents that have plagued the campus since January
17, Savage said .
Security received a call from someone in the library building a fter
a suspicious person was found in an office looking at a pack stored
behind a desk, Savage said. After the individual questioned the suspect.
the suspect ned .
Officers began looking through the CAB a nd library to no avail.
A call came in from a third noor office, a purse was missing . Security moved through the building, and caught the suspect on the second
noor .
Savage notes, though , that the individual said that there were ot hers
possibly involved in the thefts . Security Chief Gary Russell recentl y
sent out a memo concerning this problem, and is concerned that people will become relaxed about this again . Ru ssell noted that people
need to be aware of the potential for theft.
Russell notes in his memo. "Please remember to lock yo ur o ffi ce
if only leaving for a short while ... or at least secure valuables in a des k
drawer or file cabinet or take them with you."
The case is being passed on to Thurston County officials, and
charges will be handled through the juvenile authorities. according
to Savage.

'Alive in Olympia' to
live again on ~AOS
by Kathi Durkin
KAOS will broadcast its fourth
annua l "Ali ve in Olympia" every
Sunday evening from 7 to 8:30
beginning April 13.
This year, the six week ser ies will
feature groups suc h as the Barrell
House Flyers, an Olympia based
acoustical blues band; Dale Russ and
Mike Saunders, an Irish musical
duet on the fiddle and gu itar, accompanied by Sandi Sylva and the cloggers; and Sandy Bradley, a Seattle
folk music performer, coordinator,
promoter and host of a live radio
show in Seattle on KUOW, NPR
radio, every Saturday at noon.
"Alive in Olympia" will broadcast from the Recital Hall at
Evergreen with a live audience. In
the past, KAOS always brought the
gro ups into the studio to broadcast
live. "As we became good at transitions and had dealt with all the contingencies, we noticed the shows
were flat and it was hard to get good
sound," said Michael Huntsberger,
general manager of KAOS. "They
were good, but if a group did not do
well being interviewed without an
audience to interact with, you had
problems."
KAOS has changed the format to
liven it up . Huntsberger said they
have kept what they felt worked well
such as, live music from local
groups. However, they have shortened the interview process, and 45
minutes of old-time radio comedy.
This format, along with the change
to a live audience, will hopefully
make it a great success. "We are trying to do old radio variety shows of
the 1930's and '40s such as, the Ted
Mack Amateur Hour or the Ed
Sullivan radio show," Huntsberger
said.
KAOS has a book full of scripts.
"When 40 people walk through your
door every day, a lot of ideas are
born," Huntsberger said. Some of
these ideas are great debates over
basball, panel discussions, skits on
our legislature, and an ad for a fictitious shopping center. The objective is to create material for a live,
spontaneous reaction of people on
stage.
Nobody in our area is doing this
type of show. It is an experiment and
the expectations are high, Huntsberger said. "We are trying to combine a lot of different types of entertainment under one umbrella and
make it work together," he said. "If
it all gets pulled off, 'we will really
have something."
There are 200 tickets available for
each performance of "Alive in
Olympia." Call KAOS at 866-6397
or pick them up at the door.

The quarter's end takes its toll.
by Irene Mark Buitenkant
The Evergreen College Community Organization, ECCO, represents
a continuous 15 year effort to support the existance and well-being of
this college. ECCO consists of about
200 community members from
Olympia, Tumwater, Lacey and
Shelton and several Evergreen faculty members and staff. This organizat ion was formed a year before toe
school opened to promote mutual
understanding and acceptance bel·
ween the college and the community.
Many college campuses are
philosophically and physically
isolated from the communities in
which they are located. After the turbulant 1960's, the community feared
the onset of "hippies and dogs"
characteristic of the counterculture
on many campuses. ECCO
developed programs which welcomed the community to the campus and
shared its facilities with its
neighbors.
The energy of the members is
given freely. Not only do they assist
Friends of the Library, Friends of
the Evergreen Galleries, the Tribute
to 1apan and address Christmas
cards, but they respond to special
needs and problems.
For many years essentially
destructive proposals have been
made in the state Legislature.
Serious bills were introduced which
would make this school a prison. a
state library or office space. When
Senator Evans was the president of
the college, ECCO hosted social
meetings for key and freshman
legislators at his home. During the
nibbling of the food, provided by
ECCO, the legislators were treated
to the convictions of their persuasive
constituents, who were aware of the
cultural and economic advantages
TESC would bring to Washington
state.
ECCO members operate in an informal way, on a person-to-person
basis. They welcome all interested in
TESC to become members. They
sponsor several special functions
each year, such as lunchtime lectures
about travel and current events_ Last
week, there was excellent attendance
when Tom Rainey talked about
Russia. ECCO conducts tours of
Evergreen facilities and holds receptions for cultural events.
Programs are devised to stimulate
interest and effect connections.
There is a play reading group, and
a popular annual seafood and wine
tasting event at the school. An international food group sponsors six or
eight dinners a year, which broadens
the palate as well as the circle of
friends. The members said they
thought of themselves as fun-raisers
rather than fund-raisers while doing
their part in the TESC fund-raising
telethon.
At this time ECCO is supporting

those values in the policies and practices of the college; and (3) to elicit
from the major constituencies of the
college their sense of where we are
and where we ought to be in pursuit
of these values.
While there was some initial apprehension about the idea of
developing the plan and the process
that it would entail, so far reaction
has been favorable, "We (students)
are being listened to, I'm glad for
that," said Thome George, student
representative on the V&A
Committee.
The campus consultations
featured a day session on the 2nd,
attended by Approximately 80 participants, and a night session on the
3rd, attended by roughly 25 individuals_ Steve Hunter, director of
Research and Planning for the college, felt the discussions were
positive. "After being initially disappointed by the turnout at the night
session, I was pleasantly surprised by
. the give and take," he said.
Discussions were preceded by
statements by the commitLee chairs,
Rudy Martin for V&A and Carolyn
Dobbs for Environmental. Each
chair released a report of their committee's initial activities. The Environmental CommitLee's findings
concerned political, economic and
demographic trends in the state as
they relate to the college. The V&A
Committee's report dealt with more
abstract issues such as diversity on
campus and concern for process, as
well as others. While the Values
Committee does not have the stack
of facts and figures Environmental
does, its mission is no less important.
According to Patrick Hill, coordinator for the consultations, "The
Environmental Committee surveys
the lay of the land and Values and
Aspirations will determine what
course we follow."
The Strategic Planning process is
viewed as having some faults by
George, "If we had more time, I
could be more enth usiastic about the
final result. But this won't be the only Strategic Planning Council."
George went on to say he expects
there will be another council next
year.
The schedule for this council is
Little-known group helps TESC
S&A seeks coordinator
in fluenced performance art. They
have been together six years with
many independent recording credits,
including thdr latest, Fierce Love
(1986).
"We write songs about what concerns us, and we are people who are
involved politically. We are trying to
cut through a lot of apathY, and
that's very exciting. In the last 10
years that we have been performing
professionaly, we have seen a
change. People are much more open
to music that has social commentary
and is issue oriented, than they were
years ago. The other major focus of
our music is to say, that no matter
how bad things get, we each have the
power to not fall into hopelessness.
That is the greatest ill, that sense of
cynicism or despair."
Two committees are meeting right
now to determine the future of the
Evergreen State College. They are
developing the strategic plan, which
has now finished its initial factgathering stage. The two committees, Values and Aspirations, and
Environmental, will release their initial findings to the campus constituencies in all-campus consultations
April 2nd and 3rd.
The committees are part of the
Strategic Planning Council, which
will design the Strategic Plan, a
blueprint for Evergreen's future
through the next five to 10 years .
The Environmental Committee is
specifically tasked to "assess the external environment and to identify
the most important and unavoidable
features of that environment which
are affecting or will affect the future
of the college." The charge of the
Values and Aspirations Committee
is threefold: (1) to identify and articulate the animating values of the
institution; (2) to describe the

S&A Board Coordinator Trainee applications are now being accepted for spring quarter.
The S&A Board Coordinator serves as the S&A Board's staff and
is accountable to the board and the director of Student Activities . The
coordinator collaborates with the board in the selection of new board
members and is responsible for providing the information and services that the board requires. During summer quarter, the coordinator
conducts research projects and assists students in finding alternate
funding sources for student activities ideas.
The coordinator organizes and moderates all S&A meetings,
prepares agendas, retains a record-keeper to take minutes, disseminates
information concerning actions of the board, assists student groups
applying for S&A funds, prepares the board's operating budget, and
organizes the board orientation workshops on a quarterly basis.
As a training opportunity for the 1986-87 S&A Board, the successful
applicant will be expected to attend each of the spring quarter board
meetings and consult with the current coordinator and director of student activities.
Applicants should have a good understanding of Evergreen's policies
and practices. Previous experien ce with the board would be helpful.
Good organization and communications skills are necessities.
To apply , submit a letter of application to Michael Hall, CAB 305
before April 2, 1986. Additional application materials are welcome .

Liason between GESCCO and ECCO has been undertaken by Dr. less
Spielholz and Hanna Spielholz who
have been working in this organization for 10 years.
At the March 3 ECCO meeting,
officiated by Debbie Arney, coordinator director, the business of the
nomination of new board members
W\lS on the agenda. The rules
precluded anyone from serving more
than two three-year terms. The uncomfortable thought of losing the
energy of Dr. Jess Spielholz and
Hanna Spielholz was dispelled by
appointing them to emeritus status.
They are heartened by the fact that
the e'xistence of the school seems
more stable than it had been . They
credit this to the good publicity
TESC has received nationally and
the fact that graduates are now part
of the community, some serving in
government positions.
ECCO seems to have the deep
concern of a parent or gardener for
the responsible nurturing of a commitment. That commitment is to this
institution, to promote the study of
the humanities and celebrate
achievements of mankind.

Kids and country on 'Evergreen Magazine'
I
I
A drama troupe with a very important message for children and the
queen of old-time coun~ry musicians
will be featured ' in April's
"Evergreen Magazine." TOe show,
produced by student s, staff and
faculty at The Evergreen State College , will be aired at 4:30 p.m. on
Saturday, April 5, on KTPS in
Chehalis/Tacoma (Channel 12 in
Olympia).
The first segment of the magazine
documents the work of the Heartsparkle Players, a group of
Evergreen graduates who perform in
schools and daycare centers. Led by
Tira Lindquist, a counselor for rape
relief programs, Heartsparkle
educates children about sexual abuse
and its prevention in a nonthreatening approach which features
dramatizations and audience
response . The documentary is pro·
duced by Terry Lee Barksdale, a
1985 Evergreen graduate, and independent producer.
The second segment captures the
excitement of a Lily May Ledford
co ncert at Evergreen. Ledford, a
famous, old-time country musician,
delighted thousands since the 1930s
with her lighting-quick banjo play-
ing and spirited renditions of downhome music . As a member of the

education. Thus, while the process
may appear cumbersome and difficult to grasp at times, it will figure
prominently in Evergreen's future.
The HEC Board, and thus the
legislature, will view the plan as
"Evergreen's view of itself," and
make policy decisions accordingly.
Nancy Koppelman, a junior at
The Evergreen State College, has
been chosen as a merit finalist in the
TIME College Achievement Awards
Program. The Pomona, New York,
resident was one of 80 merit finalists
chosen from a field of 10,000 college
juniors nationwide. Koppelman was
then selected from 775 semi-finalists.
Application to the program included acadmic transcripts, a
resume, three letters of recommen dation and a statement of purpose.
Koppelman, who is currently enrolled in the "Political Eco nomy a nd
Social Change" program at
Evergreen, stated community education as her purpose.
As a merit finalist, Koppelman
has been invited to join the top 20
winners and 79 other merit finalists
at an awards dinner in New York on
March 31 . She will also be given consideration for an internship with
TIME, Inc., and participating spon-
sors who include Ford, IBM, Procter and Gamble, Aml!rican Express
and the U.S. Navy Officer Program.
She will also be listed in a special
promotional section of TIME's
April 7, 1986 Campus edition.

The administration has been trying to slow down student enrollment
due to the need for greater funding
to support our current Full Time
Enrollment (FTE) st udents, said
President Olander during the staff
meeting held in the board room on
Wednesday, February 26, 1986. We
must lessen our unit cost per student
and to do this we must grow, said
the president, "but grow in a way
that is healthy to the college." Currently we have 2600 students, but
there has only been enough funding
allotted for 2380 students.
The legislature developed the current level of program funding concept which carries the budget from
last year's services forward, the
result of which has been the trouble
with the budget. This concept only
guaranteed that enhancements
would be added for salary increases
and growth, said President Olander .
Evergreen is the only college in the
state that has experienced growth.
The state has yet to recognize th at
when there's an increase in the student body there needs to be an increase in staff am.l faculty . The current budget does not facilitate this.
"To eat away at the cost system we
need to get to at least 3,000 and pretty quick," he said, and added th at
in reality it will probably take an
even larger number.
President Olander plans to use
any additional growth money to
fund the areas of support service for
students. He said the legislature's
po litical perspective is what slows
down the unit cost per studen t problem. "We're a very small part of
their lives," said lack Daray, Ex ecutive Associate for Policy. "Once
President Olander walks out of their
offices, it's forgotten until someone
reminds them of our high cost," he
said.
Computer privacy a concern
by Sherry Hill
Ron Woodbury, Director of
Computer Services, has vo iced concern about rumors surrounding the
privacy of students' individual computer accounts. In late February, a
computer science student was charged with first degree theft in connection with alleged copying of computer software . The arrest resulted
from two months of investigation by
Sgt. Larry Savage of Campus
Security.
Computer Services has not look ed into individual computer accounts for information involving thi s
case, according to Woodbury. "The
staff of Computer Services does not
go into the private accounts of
students. There is a protection and
honor of the privacy of students' accounts," he said .
Though Woodbury is aware of the
potential of computer-type viola tions, such as computer piracy and
hacking, he still does not consider
that reason enough to look into individual computer accounts. Wood·
bury states, "There must be probable cau.se from outside factors to
even bring about an investigation o f
an individual's computer act ivit y,
[and then there must be lega l action
to obtain that information] . Eve n
then, Computer Services will not
look into the individual 's account."
Woodbury noted that Computer
Services is willing to coopera te with
proper legal requests if backup information is requested .

Cutbacks devastate internship opportunities

The internship program at
Evergreen is currently experiencing
drastic financial cutbacks, resulting
in a severely limited number of internship positions available to
Evergreen students. [n the past, internship options were wide open.

Cooperative Education (Coop Ed) in
finding suitable field and faculty internship sponsors, in clarifying needs
and goals in relation to a possible internship. and in facil itating the
necessary paperwork involved in

What would Debrah Jenkin's
response be to an Evergreen education if she realized the current immense di fficulty in getting an internship? How many others interested in
allending Evergreen because of the
alternative it supposedly offers to
"the traditional class schedule" -- internships -- might think twice, and
a third time, if thJ::y knew of the cur-

What of the large proportion of
older students at Evergreen, coming
back to school or changing careers,
who know first-hand the value and
importance of experience when it
comes to finding a job? And what
of the freshmen, sophomores and
juniors, in the process of choosing
major areas of study and clarifying
career goals, who may need the experience of working in a particular

not that job, or that focus, is the
right one for them?
[ care about Evergreen. I care
about my education. I respect
Evergreen's philosophy concerning
the value of interdisciplinary study,
of close student and faculty relationships, of seminar involvements, of
an education for the whole person.
It is because of this caring and this
respect that the policy to so severely
limit internships at Evergreen is
unacceptable to me. Evergreen
students need and deserve the
freedom to choose an internship experience as a part of their education
without the crippling restrictions
now in place.

WashPIRG explains function
by Loren Jill Garber
I am writing in regard to the article entitled "WashPIRG's Status
Reevaluated," which appeared in
last week's CPJ. It seems that there
are some misunderstandings at
TESC about our campus chapter of
WashPlRG (The Washington Public
Interest Research Group).
Brian Seidman contends that
"there is no student board that controls WashPIRG" and "that people
in Washington D.C. set WashPIRG
agendas -- not local students." This
is a completely false statement . As
Chair of the Local Board of Directors for the TESC chapter of
WashPIRG and a member of
WashPIRG's state Board of Directors I must refute these arguments.
WashPIRG is a consumer and environmental group with a small fulltime professional staff, but the
organiza tion is completely run by
st udents in Washington state. The
direction for each chapter's activities
starts at the local level with a local
board of directors -- elected in the
spring for a term of one year, starting the following fall . (The campus
coordinator is a staff person and as
s'Jch is not a member of this "governing" body .) If elected board
members drop out, replacements
may be appointed by a consensus of
the current board members. All
board members must be students. At
this time Evergreen has a board of
directors with eight members.
The local board of directors is
responsible for how state projects get
implemented at the local level, for
choosing projects to work on locally (separate from state issues), and
for evaluating the campus staff
person.
From the local board of directors,
up to 5 members are appointed to
the state board of directors. (TESC
appointees currently outnumber
those from UW and WWU .) The
state board is responsible for coming up with a statewide agenda, hiring staff, making sure there is a
feasible budget, supervising staff,
and making decisions about
anything which affects the organization as a wholc.
Contrary to what Brian believes,
WashPIRG is centralized in
Washington state. PIRG's are a national movement. (There are about
20 states with PIRG's.) That is, the
concept of PI RG's is a national
movement. The concept being that
college campuses are not separate
from "the real world;" therefore
students can and should set up
organizations 10 learn how to be effective on importanl issues in the
community. This means setting up
a system of self-taxation to fund it
and to hire staff.
Each PIRG state has their own
organization. The PIRG's are loosely affiliated. We get together to share
what we have learned and to get tips
from each other on how we accomplished our agendas. We "steal"
ideas from each other, but do nOI tell
each other what to work on.
I take exception to Brian's statement in which he implies that the
WashPIRG fee system (which is
refusable / refundable) is not
legitimate. A majority of students on
this campus in 1983 asked to have
this organization and its fee instated.
To make the organization more accountable to the student body; this
student group is not under the
auspices of the s&A Board. The funding system allows for those who object to the organization's work to
withdra w their supp'orc A refund is
easily obtained during the third and
fourth weeks of each quarter.
I am also offended by the idea
that WashPIRG is just like "any
other environmental group."
WashPIRG is the largest organization of its kind in Washington state.
And it is effective. It is not just environmentally oriented, but also
covers consumer and citizen rights
issues. The thing that makes it so different, however, is that it is here as
an educational organization. One of
the major goals of WashPIRG is to
teach students skills: how to lobby,
how to write articles, how to produce a newsletter, how to speak well
in public, how to write a bill, how
to put on an event and how to run
an organization. For these reasons,
as long as there is student support,
I think WashPJRG and its fee are
legitimate and have right to be on
thi s campus.
As you all know we are in the process of reaffirming student support
of WashPIRG at TESC to the
trustees. Friday, March 14, is the last
day to vote. Please come out to the
CAB between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
with your student ID to voice your
opinion, if you have not already
voted. (This balloting process is
separate from the petition drive. If
you signed the petition but did note
vote, please come out and do so .)
In closing, I would like to invite
anyone who is interested to our next
local board meeting. We will meet
in the office (SEM 4158) at 7 p.m .,
and move to a larger space on the
3rd floor of the semi nar building.
Please come join us.

grams have suffered financial cutbacks. The administration has been
forced to operate on a budget insufficient to meet its needs . As a result,
the internship program has been
devastated. Yes, in my mind, the intern program is one of the few areas
which must be fully supported if
Evergreen is to maintain its integrity as an alternative educational
institution.
The internship program needs to
be viable for all Evergreen students,
not just those in programs requiring
internships, or for third quarter
seniors. The threat extends across
the boundaries of particular areas of
study. Whether you are in the arts,
in business, or in human services,
you may be affected, and you may
end up a victim.
This policy can be changed if
enough faculty and students make
their feelings known to the administrators responsible for funding

'WashPIRG now
more than ever!'
by Todd D. Anderson
This week Evergreen students
have the opportunity to vote to reaffirm student financial support for
the Washington Public Interest
Research Group. It is a measure that
deserves approval.
Over the last decade WashPIRG
has stood out as a true public interest
force in our state. As well as working for environmental and consumer
concerns, it has provided an avenue
for students to earn academic credit
while developing leadership and advocacy skills.
The organization is made up of
highly dedicated sludents, who have
a laundry list of valuable accomplishments to show. WashPIRG
helped prevent consumers from being socked with the debt from the
WPPSS fiasco and worked to
fo restall the phone companies' attempts to assess charges on a per call
basis, just to name a few.
Some concerns have been raised
over how WashPIRG derives its funding. When students register, a
$2.50 WashPIRG fee is added to
their tuition unless they ask
for refunds. It has also been said
that WashPIRG isn't held accountable for what they do with the student monies collected. Viewed by
themselves, the se concerns are
understandable, but they deserve
rebuttal.
The fee is refuseable and refundable, and there is always a
WashPIRG representative present
during registration to explain what
the purpose for the fee is and, if the
student so desires, how to get a refund. The fee process gives the
organization a chance to explain
what it is all about to st udents who
might otherwise overlook some
brochure attached to a registration
form. It also allows WashPIRG to
avoid having to mount fund-raising
campaigns that would detract time
and effort from its real purpose, to
help protect consumers and the environment. This does:!'t mean
WashPIRG gets a free ride,
however, since they have to recertify
every two years. The current process
a<.tually demonstrates democracy in
its truest form . If a majority of
Evergreeners actually believe that
WashPIRG doesn't serve their interests, they have the opportunity to
vote it down this week.
Such an action would be a
mistake. WashPIRG's status allows
it to be an effective group, not a
nickle and dime operation that lives
on a day to day basis. WashPIRG
is accountable to students because it
is run by students and any student
can join. It has been alleged that
WashPIRG's agenda is set by people in Washington D.C. But preventing Hanford from becoming a
nuclear waste dump site seems to be
a homegrown concern, as is the fear
of making consumers pay of the
WPPSS debt. If there are people in
Washington, D.C. who set
WashPIRG's agenda, they must
have the same concerns as students
on this and other campuses in the
state. There is no t. idence to suggest
that WashPIRG is espousing concerns unrelated to local consumer
and environmental issues.
Most importantly, WashPIRG
fights for the public good. They are
greatly outnumbered by the enormous number of organizations
pushing for private special interest .
We at least have a choiee in whether
to contribute to WashPIRG.
Whether they like it or not, everyone
who buys gasoline supports the oil
industry's lobbying campaign to get
Congress to allow them to tear up
the environment in search of fossil
fuels or gouge the consumers with
prices that guarantee windfall profits. Do taxpayers have a choice as
to whether they want to foot the bill
for the Department of Energy's
drive to ram a nuclear waste disposal
down out throats? No, not hardly.
Taxpayers will also soon be supporting the Department of Defense's
new "think tank," that will be putting out propaganda in favor of the
Strategic Defense Initiative, again
whether they like it or not.
There are few organizations in
politics today that even remotely approach the fair deal students get
from WashPIRG. Evergreeners
should be honored and grateful that
they support one of the few agencies
that stand in the way of the horde
of developers, backed up by bigmoney lobby campaigns, who want
to devour the environment. The need
for WashPIRG is all the more apparent when government environmental policies are set by men
like James Watt, who believe in
development at all costs.
I hope Evergreen students will join
myself and others in re-certifying
WashPIRG. To borrow a phrase
from a former president's re-election
campaign, "WashPIRG now more
than ever!"

Dear Sirs:
At first I was upset because Qf the
numerous occasions that the editors
of the CPJ promised coverage of the
Student Survey and did not carry out
their word.
At first I was annoyed when these
editors suggested that a student
survey was unimportant, and that if
I disagreed, I should do their job for
them.
At first I was shocked that they
tossed out an article on the survey
that we submitted without the promised notification, because the
writer was "too into the story" and
then published two full pages of
yellow journalism written by a
member of the CPJ staff.
Then I remembered what the
editor-in-chief said to me -- "Just
because we make a promise doesn't
necessarily mean we mean to keep
it." And I realized, of course! Just
because a newspaper expects its
readers to accept its information and
opinions ,!-S truth, does not mean
that the editors who put the paper
together need to be reliable or
honest.
My apologies for being so naive,
Heather Bennett
Editor's note: Heather Bennett
was the writer of the story in question, and when she was told that she
was "too into the story, .. she seems
to have misinterpreted that as meaning she was too enthusiastic about it.
What was meant by the comment
was that she had put herself into the
story, thus biasing it.
The editor never promised
coverage to Ms. Bennett, nor did he
make the statement quoted above.
Others present at the lime remember
the statement as "if you thought you
heard a promise, you were
mistaken . ..
Finally, a newspaper does not expect its readers to accept its opinions
as truth, merely as opinions.

Dear CPJ:
I want to thank Polly Trout for

A .theft
is a theft
Dear CPJ:
I found Mark Lewin's letter (CPJ,
3/6/86) in response to the John
Smith software case more disturbing
than the alleged misdeed itself.
Lewin's rationalizations for
unauthorized software copying
reflect a belief system held by many:
"If I want something badly enough,
1 should have it. Moreover, I am entitled to it!"
Such beliefs usually lead to
nothing worse than incessant whining_ However, I find Lewin's letter
disturbing because more serious consequences can and do occur.
For example: A person holding
this belief system passes a video
store. He/she wants a VCR. Badly.
He/she should have a VCR. Never
mind that it is beyond the person's
budget -- after all, the item is "unfairly overpriced." Feeling entitled
to the VCR, he/she might enter the
store and simply walk off with it.

To the Editor,
I would like to commend those
who've taken an avid stand against
smoking in public . The convictions
of those individuals make me proud that I, too, am a member of the
Evergreen community. However, I
feel that there is an even larger problem that we now must address - the
color red.
Scientists and researchers have
long recognized that the color red
produces undue agitation and excitement. In a soon to be rumored
published report, the Surgeon
General warns that red may be
hazardous to your health. Yet, even
before these developments, many of
us have recognized the dangers of
the evil color red. Nazi Germany used red as one of the two colors in
their flag. And we all are aware of
the communist, "Red Threat." Red
makes you aggressive and on edge.
Even such health hazards as
hypertension, high blood pressure
and unplanned sexual excitement
may be the results of those who wear
red .
People who wear red in public
have no consideration or regard for
the rights of others. In class,
students wearing red distract from
non-red students_ There are times in
the CAB when so many students are
wearing red that one cannot help but
feeling irritated. Many times, I'll be
walking down a hall and an instructor will be wearing red. But as a
student, I can't tell them to go
home and change. If these people
want to wear red, let them go home
and sit in front of the mirror.
I believe that it is high time that
a campus ban against red take root .
I strongly urge President Olander to
appoint a DTF to explore the matter. These people are not only a
danger to themselves but to the
senses of others.
Thank-you,

To the Editor,
To paraphrase Twain, "Rumors

an article about my work which was
printed in the March 6 issue of the

headline "Evergreen Women in the

comes as something of a shock to
me, and even more so to my wife
and children. I am bolstered,
however, by sympathetic comments
from my colleagues (as Ingram Marshall put it, "It's alright, Bob, we all
know you're a 'real man. ' ") and by
my abiding trust in the dictum that
one cannot always believe what one
reads.
In any case I am writing in
response not so much to the headline
as to the article itself. I have no
doubt about Mr. Pope's sincerity in
trying to write an honest and informative article about my presentation
to the Hard Country program on
February 26th. That the article falls
short on both counts may be due to
the fact that my presentation was
something less than crystal clear.
Suffice it to say that there were a
number of errors in the article -- the
only one sufficiently misleading to
elicit this letter is the statement that
I taught at the University of California. I did not. I did teach at a college that was physically removed
from the University only by a few
miles, but in most other realms it
was light-years away .
J can understand how a good deal
of misinformation might have been
engendered by my presentation that
night and I don't mean to be too
hard on Mr. Pope. Indeed, I applaud his efforts in trying to get articles dealing with the Arts at
Evergreen printed in every issue of
the CPJ. However, these efforts
would be better served by writings
which are factually correct.
Sincerely,
Bob Haft
N.S.A.
not zombies
Dear CPJ.
I'm writing this letter out of my
own volition. I'm not a zombie, I'm
not a fanatic, and I'm most certainly not a door-to-<loor salesman. And
yet, amazingly, I'm a member of
N.S.A. and I do the best I can to
hold down a sincere Buddhist practice. This in itself is not easy and
don't let anyone tell you any
different.
I would like to address a few
points of Ms . Slagle's "Dangerous
Cult" letter directly. First of all, she
said that the three ways of practice
were "chanting, studying, and doorto-door salesmanship." This is incorrect. Ask any N.S.A. member
and they will tell you that the three
ways are: faith, practice, and study.
It is true that letting people know
about chanting is part ot the practice. Harrassing people or talking
about it with people even when
they've said they're not interested
are not parts of the practice.
It is that simple. Certainly, there
have been times when the line was
drawn and some over-zealous
N.S.A. member went and crossed it.
But this is an incorrect practice, it
is called "Faith Like Fire," and
members who practice this way
eventually burn-out and quit practicing . This is their own karma and
it will be their own hard lesson to
learn.
As to the "peculiar vortex thinking" which "subtly undermines
one's ability to trust one's own
decision-making process." I say, uncategorically, thjs is bullshit. The
majority of my friends do not practice this Buddhism. and they might
tell you any number of weird things
about me. But none of them will tell
you that I'm a fanatic, that I'm
devoid of personality, or for that
matter, that they have any problem
with the fact that I practice Buddhism. This is because (hopefully)
I'm practicing ' with "Faith Like
Flowing Water" which is the correct
way to practice.
This all brings me to the primary
point of my rebuttal which is this:
by creating falsely based paranoia
about an organization of which I am
a member, Ms. Slagle succeeds only
in alienating people from one
another, namely would-be friends
and acquaintances from myself, and
for this I am, as an individual,
honestly peeved.
Sincerely,
Duane Roger Wright
Fish gone
to the dogs
Dear CPJ:
"Say, who's tunafish is this? It's
been in the refrigerator forever. I
really can't stand it anymore."
"Don't get so upset. I was saving
it for the dogs."
"But, you can't feed them rancid
food. [I'll make them sick."
This sort of interchange is commonplace in my dormroom. It seems
to be an issue that arises almost
every time our food spoils, or the
chicken carcass is picked clean.
Should we give it to the sickly dog
that begs below our window, or
should we frivilously dispose of it?
My immediate reaction is to say
"no" to the dogs, because it could
only make them sicker. However, I
have begun to see why there are so
many dogs with infirmities permitted to roam campus and beg for
food. Who do they belong to? I've
seen them with apparent owners, yet
they rarely turn out to be those who
really claim responsibility for them.
Now I question whether there
were people besides myself who felt
strongly about the dog issue. I have
found the answer to be "yes" in
most cases.
I have talked to people who are
thoroughly outraged that dogs are.
permitted to roam freely and, consequently, knock over children.
There have been instances of dogs
running into the day care centers as
well. Many complain of the constant
annoyance of dog feces under foot,
especially now that spring is here.
Still others fear that the dogs are
disrupting the ecological cycle on
campus by interfering with the
natural habitats of ground nesting
animals, in particular, birds. The
dogs also scare away deer, squirrels,
and rabbits.
To a certain extent, I care about
the ecology of Evergreen's campus,
however, what really interests me are
those who claim a sensitivity to our
eco-system, yet allow this to
continue.
Why hasn't someone created a
program that could practice
veterinary skills on these animals?
Why don't their loyal owners utilize
the campus kennels, or just leave
them home?
I see this argument to be an issue
that causes us to question the integrity of our eco-systemic consciousness
and our ideals. I ask that we be true
to our pretentions.

examir.ed
Dear Editor,
As a member of the State Board
of Directors of the Washington
Public Interest Research Group [ am
writing in response to the article
written about WashPIRG in last
week's CPl. What concerns me are
the statements made by Mr. Brian
Seidman about the way policies are
formed in the organization. Through
the statements that were made I see
h e really has not closely examined
the infrastructure of WashPIRG,
because if he did he would realize the
a ccusations he made are not true.
The first thing I must clarify is
t hat our campus staff person is not
a member of WashPIRG's local
board here at Evergreen, she only attends the meetings to supply us with
information and to give us some suggestions if we ask for them. All decisions made about what WashPIRG
will do are made by students. The
state board members, like the local
board members, set the policies for
the organization on a statewide level
rather than campuswide. Our staff
is there to help us and assist us, and
not to control us and use us. The
state board has t he right to hire and
fi re everyone who work s for the
o rgani zation, except for the campus
staff that is hired by the local board .
It outrages myself .'lIld all the
students involved with WashPIRG
when we are accused of being puppets to carry out other peoples hidden agendas.
The student members of
WashPIRG set the agendas and the
pace of the organization, any outside
advice is simply that, advice. We do
a lot of work with the United States
Public Interest Research Group
(Washington D.C.). They are an invaluable resource and should not be
ridiculed, but instead it should be
apprec iated that we have a voice on
the Federal level in coordination
with other public interest groups
nationwide.
We understand that some people
do not understand our group and the
way we operate. But before anyone
jumps to conclusions remember
WashPIRG is your organization,
and all of our records are open as
well as all of our meetings.
WashPI RG is here for all Evergreen
students and I encourage everyone
to get involved .

This letter is in response to the
February 27 CP J opinion "Student
silence encouraging parental
governance. ' ,
Student apathy is not a child of
Evergreen's but is certainly using our
campus to develop and mature.
Upon considering our problem I
have thought of several factors
creating the apathetic atmosphere.
Maybe we are just a microcosm of
an environment whose trends
permeate upon us. Possibly there is
a gagging amount of governance
propaganda. Could it be turning
people oft! Could it be that students
don't give a shit and never will? We
have a problem . The students know
we have the problem but have fa iled to react to it (l hasten to
acknowledge and applaud the 1 percent of students who have donated
so much effort to governance). What
the hell do we do?
Amazingly enough, the administration has turned its cheek to
student apathy and has tried to support student governance. As Mr.
Koenig has so astutely observed, we
the students have left to them to fill
such positions as the student
representative to the board of
trustees. But this should not be
misinterpreted, regarding the board
representative anyway. To obtain
the position that I currently hold, I
had to go through a competitive process. Having submitted a letter of
application with recommendations ,
I was later interviewed by vice-president for student affairs, Dr. Gail
Martin. During the interview I was
asked to reiterate my reasons for
wanting to serve in the position. I
was also asked some hypothetical
questions, allowing Dr. Martin to
examine my awareness of possible
issues at hand. None of.the Questions
put me in the position of having to
take sides with either students over
the administration or vice versa. I
also refused to answer several questions; ' feeling that they could not be

International studies
Andrew Hanfman, convener of Evergreen's Language and Culture
Center, has announced that the partnership agreement between
Evergreen and the University of Washington Jackson School of International Studies has been renewed for another two years. The application deadline to attend the Jackson School for the 1986-87
academic year is April 15 .
Applicants must have 74 Evergreen credits to be eligible for this
program. Applications should contain a letter outlining previous college work, indicating what areas the appl icant wishes to study at the
UW, and the student's portfolio. Applicants should explain how the
projected studies fit their background and future academic or professional objectives . Applications should be submitted to Andrew
Hanfman, SEM 3109.
The UW-Evergreen partnership allows a limited number of
Evergreen students to attenci the Jackson School of International
Studies for one year. The arrangement is particularly useful for
students who wish to pursue language and culture study in areas not
currently avai lable at Evergreen .
The UW curricula offer interdisciplinary studies organized to emphasize both regional and topical studies . Students may concentrate
on a major world area within the context of the humanities and the
social sciences. They may specialize in topical studies. or they may
pursue a more general course of study within the program. It is also
possible to integrate the international or regional study with an em~hasis on business health and political economy.

with Patjens that small daycares
have a much harder time financialIy. Certain overhead prices are fixed no matter how many kids are
en rolled, and it is difficult to meet
them without at least 30 children.
Great Beginnings, Sarmento said,
breaks even with 40 children if either
her or her partner, Joanne Ponzo,
teaches part time; they need 50
children for them both to administrate full time.
At Great Beginnings the children
are divided into five groups arranged according to developmental level.
Each group covers roughly a year's
span and has a full-time teacher. The
groups sometimes combine for free
choice, walks, music, etc .
From 9:30 to II :30 a.m . the

"preschool," the daycare's time to
focus on academic development. According to the daycare brochure, this
is •'scheduled activity. The planned
curriculum includes a weekly
balance of math, social studies,
science, reading, writing, language
art, creative drama, feelings, and
large muscle breaks . During this
time, the program allows for individual attention, small and large
group activities."
Great Beginnings is dedicated to
individual pacing. "We don't believe
in pushing," says Sarmento. "And
we don't believe in holding back.
Some kids are reading, others can
barely write their name."
"We are not preparing them for
kindergarten," she said . Instead,
their emphasis is on stimulating each
child at a level that keeps them interested. The emphasis of art projects is placed on the process of learning, not the finished product. They
make a distinction between art and
craft.
In conclusion, Sarmento discussed their philosophy of child care.
"There is never right or wrong, just
appropriate. We try not to use the
words good, bad, right, wrong, or
can't.. .we want to give the children
different options of values. She said
that their goal is to "support people in the pursuit of unlimited
possibilities. "
'Slightly West' makes debut
by Dennis Held
"Slightly West," the Evergreen
literary magazine sponsored by
MAARA VA, was released to the
public on Tuesday, February 25.
Approximately 250 copies were
printed, and about 90 were picked
up at the initial release, according to
Brian Seidman of MAARA VA.
"The magazine, which cost about
$300 to produce, has been warmly
received, Seidman said . "It looks
nice, and we feel we've been successful insofar as a positive
response," he said . He added that
he was excited about receiving $300
in additional funding for the next
issue.
About $40 has been collected in
donations, Seidman said, and that
money will be applied to next
quarter's issue. MAARA VA will be
accepting copy for the spring quarter
issue at the beginning of the quarter;
that issue is expected to be released
in mid-May, he said.
Copies of this quarter's issue are
available in MARAA VA's office,
LIB 3214, and submissions can be
left there, Seidman said .
MAARA VA is looking for a new
editor, because coeditor Jacob
Weisman will be leaving for New
York, Seidman said. "We're
soliciting editors for formal interviews. We'd like to get two more
people, preferably someone with
word processing skills," he said.
Coeditor Christie Eikeberg will
continue in her role. She said the
decision to print only on one side of
the paper was made to avoid stories
and poems bleeding through. "We
thought it looked better, and made
it easier to read," Eikeberg said.
Eikeberg encourages artists and
photographers to submit work for
the next issue . "We'd like to see
high-contrast black and white artwork. We received about 15 submissions of art work for the first issue,
but we wen:n't sure about how to
use them this time," she said .
Two poems, .. Flight" and
" Winter Moon," written by Anthea
Lawrence, were inadvertently attributed to "Unknown." Eickeberg
said that names were removed from
submissions for editing purposes,
and Lawrence's name was accidently omitted in that process.

of spirituality and politics, and how

own life and in the villages of Northwestern Nicaragua, where she

She stressed that what she saw and
heard from Nicaraguan peasants

Nicaragua portrayed in the media
and promoted by Reagan . She was
very supportive of the Sandinistas
and saw the Contras as immoral.
She said that the Nicaraguans were

Contras would not exist if the U.S.

Star hawk was angry about the
situation, and represents many people who are becoming politically active because they feel that they' re
religious beliefs call them to "Love
their neighbor."
Starhawk said that in the past
politics and religion rarely mixed,
because people active politically
believed religion to be unnecessary
tripe, and that people active
spiritually thought politics would
"bring them down."
Starhawk was part of a Jewish
Delegation traveling with a Christian
peace organization. "You may
wonder what a Jewish witch was doing traveling with a Christian
organization to Nicaragua," she
began. She said that the common
belief among pagans had been that
C hristianity , a patriarchal system,
was an impotent religion. "We were
wrong, " she said . Although never expli citly stated, one got the impress ion that it was merely the
Am erican-European version of
C hristianity that was impotent in
Starhawk 's eyes.
Star hawk
said
that
the
Nicaraguans' Catholism was a
powerful force that had led them to
a positive revolution. There are two
branches of the church in Nicaragua,
t he orthodox church that opposes
the Sandinista government and an
grassroots peasant chuch that supports the Sandinistas. She said that
although the "capitalist church" was
allowed to practice freely and retain
its land and wealth , the majority of
the populace had left for the poorer
one.
Starhawk emphasized that to be a
pagan witch had nothing to do with
Satanism, but meant that she followed the traditional European religion
that existed before Christianity was
introduced. Paganism contrast's
Christianity's patriarchal vision of
God with a worship of the "Mother
Earth," as well as worshipping the
male principle.
Starhawk
said
that
the
Nicaraguan church was vital because
it retains the idea that the sacred
emanates from the earth, and is not
a distant, otherworldly principle.
She also said that she found the
Nicaraguan church comfortingly
close to her own pagan worship. She
was in Nicaragua during the winter
solstice, and expected to have a lonely celebration. Instead, all the village
feasted celebrating the Virgin Mary,
who Starhawk sees as the Mother
Earth deity. There was dancing,
drinking, and gaiety all night.
If Starhawk is right, our own
brand of Christianity could use a lusty infusion of mother-worship to
balance father-worship, a belief in
the sacred emanance of all things,
and some joyous ritual celerating the
goodness of life. I tend to think she
is. If "the fruits of the Spirit" are
a true indication of spiritual maturity, then I think that this is one witch
that God loves dearly.

Opinion:
Viva Hernandez!
by Stoddart Lawrence Smith
Two weeks ago, Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth decided
that he had a public relations problem. Ever since last winter's Pittsburgh drug trial, baseball's sterling
image has been somewhat tarnished .
So in the midst of a media barrage,
Ueberroth slapped a number of
players with penalties and fines.
Seven players were given the choice
of paying 10 percent of their salary
to charity, severa) months of community service work, and random
testing for drugs for the rest of their
careers. Or they couid, of course,
quit their jobs.
One of these seven was Mets AlIStar first baseman, and former
MVP, Keith Hernandez. Ironically
enough , without Hernandez, the
trial might never have taken place.
For several years Hernandez had a
spotless reputation in the game, both
as a leader and co-captain of the 82
champion Cardinals, and as an accessible friend of charity. His conduct off the field was as consistent
as his Gold Glove work on the
field . And a few months ago, he
took the ultimate risk for the game.
He testified under state's evidence at
the Pittsburgh trial, and forever linked his name with drugs . His
testimony turned out to be crucial in
convicting some of the most
notorious drug suppliers in the National League.
Hernandez took a big risk on
behalf of his game, admitting that
he had taken drugs in the late '70s
and early ' 80s and testifying against
a pretty scary group of people. Now
Ueberroth, who wouldn 't even have
known about him if he hadn't
testified, has decided to fine him IO
percent of a year's salary. Ueberroth
is also keeping him under the threat
of permanent suspension for the rest
of his career. Worst of all, by linking the money to charity he makes
anyone who objects look like a
heartless miser while he comes out
like Mr. Clean. And as usual, most
of the sportswriters in the country
have fallen for it. Ever since Hernandez said he was going to court to
fight this gross civil rights violation,
every opinion I've seen has been raking him over the coals as the sort of
ballplayer who would be a bad influence on the game and a terrible
example for the young fans. These
are of course the same bunch of guys
who sang his praises for the last
decade.
Past drug history is no less a civil
rights issue than a job application
form that asks if you're handicapped, corporations that spy on
employees, or retain information on
your personal sex life. Regardless of
how much money he makes, when
he goes to court on this, he goes up
to bat for all of us. No company or
organization has the right to interfere or dictate to it's employees,
or threaten them with lifetime
unemployment for their public
ima~e needs.
Sixteen years ago, Curt Flood
stood all alone as he went to the
Supreme Court to end the right of
ball teams to trade players like cattle. The result was the five and \0
system for players to approve trades.
Hernandez is showing no less
c;ourage, (Flood hasn't been given
work in the bigs since he retired) and
this one affects all of us.
Keith .flernandez has spent his
whole career proving he is a fine person as well as a great athlete. Then:
could be no greater proof than his
testifying at the Pittsburgh trial. He
has done a great thing for baseball ,
and it seems baseball is paying him
back. In spades. The court was willing to give him immunity . I think
Ueberroth should too. A lot of people have fallen for this gag, and tried
to ostracize him in the public mind .
Well, I sa y VIVA HER NANDEZ ... and all the Hernandez's
of this world .

At Linfield, maverick track star
Baethan Crawford broke the 800
meter record with a time of 2:06 and
lowered the 5000 M record to 1-6:01
later that day. Franny Hearn ran a
tough 2:34 800 M to set the women's
school record. John Kaiser turned in
a 4: 18 1500 M time finishing just
ahead of Crawford. "I went out too

living proof of this as they blazed

track with a 27 second 200 M. Becky

D's still unbeaten
by Jacob Weisman
Team D remained undefeated in
intramural play by beating Team C
last Friday by the score of 54-46.
Team D, playing without the services
of Matt Hartman and Dale Campbell, won their fifth straight.
Team D took an early first quarter
lead, pressuring the ball. The game
appeared to be a rout when Myron
Part man and Mike Hechter intercepted the first five passes thrown
by Team C . But a determined Team
C trailed at the end of the first
quarter by only a single point, 13-12.
But although Team C stayed close
throughout, they never threatened
with a serious run to win the game.
Larry Champire led Team C with 14
points. Larry Dominquez scored a
game high 17 points, and Mike
Hechter added 16 points, for Team
D.
In other action, the Evergreen
Alumni beat Team B, 51-37 . The
win was their second over Team B
in the last four weeks. Already a
short team, Team B lost center Allen
Jones on the opening tip off when
he tripped over referee Karen Danman, twisting his ankle. Jones' loss
left 5'10" Pat Rawnsley playing
center.
Team Bled 10-6 at the end of the
first quarter, and trailed by only 2
points, 20-18, at the half. But center
John Calembokidis scored 14 of his
18 points in the second half to cement the victory for the Alumni. Jim
Daniels led Team B with 14 points .
Bob Reed said, "David is proof that
an inexperienced athlete can find a
niche on an intercollegiate team."
Coach Reed also feels that Zook
has become competitive with a
number of players on the team, a
feeling that is shared by team captain, Ben Cholzen. "Dave works
pretty hard. He's had the furthest to
come, and he's come the furthest.
He's competitive with everybody
after the first five. He's already in
the running for a starting spot," says
Cholzen. "It's hard, and Dave
wants that letter. This is a condusive
school for it," he said.
Evergreen is a condusive school
for it. A young sports program still
has the opportunity for inexperienced players to have a chance. David
Zook is making the most of it.
"It's really neat, the speed with
which I've been learning. I'm still
zooming. I'm learning things real
fast. It's neat to be playing with so
many people who are better than
me, and are so helpful and committed to what they're doing," look
said. Then he laughs, "They'll love
that last one."
I'm still Zooking.
Swim team goes to nationals
Tennis team 4-5 versus SPU
by Boh Reed
Do you have to win to have a
good time and a learning experience?
Ask the Evergreen swimming-<iiving
contingent that traveled to Spokane
for the national championships last
weekend and you'll probably get a
resounding NO for an answer.
"It was so much fun. The spirits
were excellent and the entire team
was up," said team captain Max
Gilpin. Gilpin was 28th in the 400 individual medley (4:34.09) and also
swam the 800 freestyle relay with
Casey Pratt, Burke Anderson, and
Rob Bruns (7:39.85).
Bruns was 32nd in the 50 freestyle
(22.90) and teamed with Pratt,
Anderson and Pieter Drummond for
a school record-breaking performance in the 400 freestyle relay
(3 :21.84). Erica Pickell was 16th and
17th in the three and one meter diving events, respectively. J.R.
Baldwin was 17th in the men's three·
meter.
Another highlight was the selectfon of Evergreen diving coach Debbie Rodgers , a former NCAA diver,
as the diving referee for the national
meet.
Coach Bruce Fletcher said the
swimmers had peaked once for the
district meet ant that it was hard to
carry that level of performance into
the national meet. Gilpin said the
swimmers hODe next season to
qualify for the nationals earlier in
the season (rather than at the district
meet) so they can then time their
peak for nationals.
The Evergreen team didn't score
any points. Fletcher said, however,
that it was a privilege just to be at
the meet. "There were thousands of
swimmers that stayed at home and
didn't participate," he s~id.
Last year the men's tennis team
lost 16 of their first 18 individual
matches against UPS and Seattle
Pacific University. This year they
have won eight of 18, including four
victories in the 5-4 loss last Saturday
to SPU.
"We are on the verge of playing
really tough team tennis. We have
certainly established credibility. Now
we need to refine our fundamentals
and play tougher tennis when the
score gets close," said player-coach
Bob Reed.
Against SPU, Evergreen's number
one duo Ben Cholzen and Jim
Wood lost a close match 7-5 in the
third set. Reed and Nuzum turned
the tables with a three set victory (6-4
third set) . The number three team
Gene Chong and Dave Zook lost
6-1,6-3.
Chotzen, Wood and Reed claimed singles victories while Chong fell
to Solvjev (seeded player at last
year's district tourney) 6-2, 7-6 and
Kirk Carner lost 6-3 . 7-5.

Who mourns for Flo Hyman?
I
,~
THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL
by Jacob Weisman
On January 25th, the Seattle
Times carried word of Flo Hyman's
eath. At the age of 31, Hyman -he leader of the 1984 U.S. silver
medal-winning team -- was conidered to be, perhaps, the best
oman's volleyball player in the
orld. The story was placed on the
third page of the sports section.
She had been playing in an exhibiion match for a woman's volleyball
team in Japan. The match, broadcast live over Japanese television,
had been proceeding normally when
Hyman left for a routine substitution in the third game. The camera
was focusing in on the incoming
player when Hyman suddenly slid,
without warning, out of her seat and
onto the floor. She was dead. The
cause of her death was ruled a heart
attack .
The next day American
newspapers seemed almost unconcerned. Only the Los Angeles
Times hired out their own staff
writer to cover the story. No followup stories, it appeared. would ever
be written . Not until six days after
her death, was it discovered that Flo
Hyman hadn't suffered a heart attack after all. She died from
something much rarer, a genetic
disorder called Marfan's syndrome.
Did any of the newspapers take any
interest?
Maybe if she'd been a man, playing a man's sport she might have

wouldn't have happened. Maybe if
she'd been playing in a sport with
more visibility (and been white) like
Martina Navritolova or Chris Evert
Lloyd, it might have been different.
It wasn't.
It wasn't, in fact, until February
j' 7th, nearly a month after her death,
that Flo Hyman made page 1 of the
Seal/Ie Times sports section. The
men's and women's Olympic
volleyball teams were playing exhibition matches in Seattle. There had
been no mention of the death of one
of their star players; as if some
strange deal had been struck between
the team and the media that only
positive coverage would be
encouraged.
"Flo Hyman lives on in women's
volleyball team," read the headline
for Steve Kelly's column. The column was filled with superlative adjectives and some updated information -- something called Marfan's
syndrome was briefly mentioned.
"Flo Hyman," Kelly wrote, "died
in her prime, but her memory will
linger in every high-school gym and
YMCA court. Her mark on the
game is indelible." But where had
Kelly been 21 days earlier, before the
Olympic teams had been slated to
visit Seattle?
The same day Kelly's column appeared, Sports Illustrated published
their special report: "Marfan's Syndrome: A Silent Killer."

was 16th in the three meter and 17th in the one
meter events while J.R. Baldwin was 17th in the
men's three meter. Tob Bruns was 32nd in the 50
freestyle and teamed with Casey Pratt, Max Gilpin,
and Burke Anderson in the BOO freestyle relay. Pratt,
Anderson, Bruns and Pieter Drummond set a school
record (3:21.B4) in the 400 freestyle relay.

EVERGREEN'S FIRST TRACK WOMEN'S
RELAY!!! No, they didn't set any world records, but
they were in the running at last weekend's Salzman
relays at Pacific Lutheran University. Becky Burton,
Susie Tveter, Laurie Selfors and Franny Hearn blitzed the sprint medley in 2:07.6. Tracy Stefan (current 3,000 meter school record holder, 12:39),
Selfors, Caprice Brown and Hearn then flew thru
the distance medley. The trend setters will be ;oined by a host of three Geoduck Gallopers and the
infamous field event army as the team travels to UPS
this Saturday.
The TENNIS teams are taking advantage of the
wizardry of veteran Jim Wood, the leadership of
Ben Chotzen, the legs of player-coach Bob Reed
(also a 10,000 meter track competitor), the lightning quickness of Gene Chong and the stick-to-it enthusiasm of the women. The men's team is off to

Aurand's images life affirming and encouraging
by Devon Damonte
Opening right here in Olympia on
Apri l II th, artist Susan Aurand, Expressive Arts Specialty Area Convener, will be featured in a oneperson show of paintings and drawings at the Marianne Partlow
Gallery, 500 S. Washington.
Summer 1985 saw Aurand win
third place in a competition at
Marylhurst Museum of Art in
Oregon. And, as a result, Harvey
West, Director of the U.W. Henry
Art Gallery, called to ask if she
would participate in a show called
"Fantastic. "
The gallery described it as, "West
Coast artists who weave tales filled
with personal fantasy and humour,
and often work in a highly detailed,
compUlsive manner." Aurand was
the only artist from the Northwest
in the show. She exhibited a roomful of 4 foot by 5 foot charcoal
drawings which are exquisite in
form, composition, and execution .
They depict children in dreamlike
dances with exotic birds and tropical
foliage, and can be a moving,
spiritual expeience. This past year
she also exh ibited at the University
of Puget Sound's Drawing and Painting Invitational at the Kittredge
Gallery, and at the Bumbershoot
"Seeing Double" exhibit at Seattle
Center.
Aurand said that as an artist she
seeks "to create images that remind
people of things they love. " Her art
is one that affirms and encourages
life, love, memory and feeling. She
also strives to the power of the erotic
and the sensual through her artistic
vision. On her working techniques,
Aurand said that she first
previsualizes a composition and then
draws from life. She takes Polaroid
pictures to get the necessary pieces
to the puzzle. Her large drawings of
birds and children in motion are
evidence of her interests in transformations; the formlessness of moving
objects and questioning the nature
of things.
"I first heard about Evergreen
when I was still an undergraduate at
Kalamazoo College. My younger
sister had the catalog for Evergreen's
first year and I remember she read
it to me from cover to cover with
great excitement." Some 15 years
later, Susan Aurand is a towering
figure on the faculty of the
Evergreen State College. This year
she is producing a 36-page survey on
the arts at Evergreen.
She has had a year filled with extracurricular activities as well. In the
past year she has had four exhibitions, including a major show at the
University of Washington's Henry
Art Gallery.

Aurand's drawings at the Henry
Gallery, it read: "I grew up in a

Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, her
mother was a speech therapist and
her father an aeronautical engineer.

O"Keeffe dies but her paintings continue to live
Georgia O'Keeffe, a legendary
American painter, died on March 6,
J986 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She
was 98 years old. It shouldn't have
been much of a surprise to hear that
O'Keeffe passed on. She passed on
and is still moving people with images of the land and herself. The images are vital with a certain energy
that comes from nature. The images
are abstractions of nature, but interrelated with her understanding of
life.
Near the horizon, the sky is
almost white, but it darkens up
above. Layers of clouds turn and
gather at the top . A ram's skull
floats in the atmosphere, so the
clouds move in through the space
between the antlers that gives way to
a ir . The inside edge holds the air in
a shape that is repeated in the
antlers' curves, and in the hills
below .
These hills are burned with ochre.
Still, they are not charred . Terra cotta bleeds through until they are left
raw . Up above, it is these colors that
are picked up in the bone, just above
the white of the skull . The antlers
reflect these hills, while the skull
pulls shades of sky.
An antler shelters a hgllyhock-a
delicate flower that radiates yellow
onto its overlapping petals.
What belongs to the land has been
elevated. Both the ram ana the
tlower have entered another plane.
Away from the land, these objects
have been transfigured. The subject
remains a mystery.
O' Keeffe expresses through her
work a concern with a spiritual
nature, though her images reflect a
formal structure that shows she com-
posed landscapes instead of imitating them. She interrelated opposition, transition, subordination,
repetition and symmetry. She saw
what was beautiful and presented it
in a way that is concise and striking .
Her knowledge of design was
based on formal training, reading
Arthur Dow's work, looking at Arthur Dove's paintings and trusting
her vision. This knowledge was
strengthened by study with William
Merritt Chase; reading Wassily Kandinsky's ideas that connected
spirituality, painting, and music; and
seeing what was art news in New
York.
Another important influence was
travel. In the beginning of the century, O'Keeffe lived and worked in
New York, Chicago, Virginia,
Texas, South Carolina, and later,
New Mexico.
Her work was sent by a friend to
Alfred Stieglitz, an exceptional
photographer who ran 29 J ,a gallery
dedicated to what was new and exceptional in art. As history went,
Stieglitz was astonished to see the
essehce of a woman on paper that
he saw when looking at O'Keeffe's
work. Their professional relationship led to a love that was legendary.
The wonderful thing that happened
between them is expressed in both of
their work. Though they were often
together, they were often apart t90;
Stieglitz believed in freedom being
necessary to sincerity. O'Keeffe's
philosophy included solitude. She
once stated that one should use one's
energy for work-the core of Iifeand ignore ·"the human prob lem."
In a letter to a friend she says, "I

formal structure that shows she com-
posed landscapes instead of imitating them. She interrelated opposition, transition, subordination,
repetition and symmetry. She saw
what was beautiful and presented it
in a way that is concise and strikin~ .
Her knowledge of design was
based on formal training, reading
Arthur Dow's work, looking at Arthur Dove's paintings and trusting
her vision. This knowledge was
strengthened by study with William
Merritt Chase; reading Wassily Kandinsky's ideas that connected
spirituality, painting, and music; and
seeing what was art news in New
York.
Another important influence was
travel. [n the beginning of the century, O'Keeffe lived and worked in
New York, Chicago, Virginia,
Texas, South Carolina, and later,
New Mexico.
Her work was sent by a friend to
Alfred Stieglitz, an exceptional
photographer who ran 291,a gallery
dedicated to what was new and exceptional in art. As history went,
Stieglitz was astonished to see the
essence of a woman on paper that
he saw when looking at O'Keeffe's
work. Their professional relationship led to a love that was legendary.
The wonderful thing that happened
between them is expressed in both of
their work. Though they were often
together, they were often apart t90;
Stieglitz believed in freedom being
necessary to sincerity. O'Keeffe's
philosophy included solitude. She
once stated that one should use one's
energy for work-the core of lifeand ignore ''' the human problem."
In a letter to a friend she says, "I
don't see why we ever think of what
others think of what we do-no matter who they are. Isn't it enough to
just
express
yourself?"
Injormation about O'Keejje's life
and work is jound in "Portrait oj
an Artist" by Laurie Lisle, "Georgia
O'Keejje" by Georgia O'Keejje,

In Response to Your Q.uestion
(for P.M,) ,
"One day, I found myself saying
Where are all the women poets?
wonder iJperhaps 'the women poets submit...
to myself. .. 1 can't live where I want
to ... [ can't go where I want to ... 1
can't do what I want to. I can't even
say what I want to. I decided I was
a very stupid fool not to at least
paint as I wanted to and say what I
wanted to when I painted, as that
seemed to be the only thing [ could
do that didn't concern anybody but
myself-that was nobody's business

Nowhere.
At some point in her 20s she absorbed what she had, put the rest
aside, and decided to be her own
prototype. She gave herself permission to be her own role model. Her
own words to a friend do best to
explain:
O'Keeffe composed her experience of light and the landscape according to her personal aesthetic.
Mumblin' 'bout "mustash racks"
and credit.
Funky fiddle on the country juke,
and you don't have to light up to smoke.
Well, the beer here's as cheap as it gets,
and when we started playin' Hank
on the banged up guitar
it flowed from the tap like a malted mountain stream.
The women in their cheap sequin blouses
rub their breast against whoever's nearest,
usually another cheap sequin blouse.
Kinda sad, you know.
But it's all real people
in a real world
livin' a real life,
and there's no one here
I want to kiss but you.
But all you say is "Knock it off "
OK. Another glass of beer
and smile at the guy
with the patch on his eye,
and wait for that other fella
to take his false teeth out
and chat his air/ess chatter.
