About 200 students and faculty
protested the United States' increasing use of violence to achieve national goals, the day after U.S. Air
Force jets bombed Libyan targets.
One of the event's organizers, student Jeanine Corr said, "We oppose
aggression on both sides."
Organizers support diplomatic action such as talks through the
Belgian embassy, instead of using
military force.
"It's bad policy for the United
States to talk about terrorism when
the United States bombs civilians.
It's contradictory, especially when
that's what we charged Libya with,"
Corr said.
Rally speakers were critical of
U.S. actions in Libya .
Faculty member Dave Hitchens
called the bombing "attempted
murder," adding that of the five
targets, one was Libyan Leader
Moammar· Khadaffi's headquarters.
Hitchens said he wasn't satisfied
with the Reagan administration's
evidence that Khadaffi was responsible for recent terrorism. "The
'Great Communicator' communicates what he chooses," Hitchens said.
Faculty member Alan Nasser said
there is no international terrorist net-

work, and if there were, it would be
questionable that Khadaffi would be
its leader. He agreed with Hitchens
that the information received from
the Reagan administration is
inaccurate.

United States is the issue of Palestinian homelessness. Without a state,

About 75 people attended a rally
on Monday, April 14, to block what
they saw as American funding of
Contra initiated atrocities.
The Reagan Administration wants
to send $100 million in aid to the
Contra rebels fighting to overthrow
the Nicaraguan government. Several
elected officials from the Olympia
area, including state Rep. Jolene
Unsoeld and Olympia Mayor Bill
Daly, joined by other community
members to speak out against Contra aid. The House was to decide this
week whether to support the Reagan
request.
Clover Lockhaid, an aide to Con-

gressman Bonker, who represents
the third district which includes
O lympia, said Bonker is definitely
voting against Reagan's proposed
$70 million in lethal aid and $30
million in "humanitarian" aid.
Most of the speakers accused the
Reagan Administration of lying and
spreading disinformation. Evergreen
Campus Minister Tim Marshall
praised people like Archbishop
Romero and Antonio Quesada, who
he calls the modern prophets.
"The truth has been distorted and
used to justify contra aid and the
role of the prophet in our time is to
make clearer what those untruths are
and to speak the truth in order to
bring our nation back to one of

he added, Palestinian Arabs have no

leads to a feeling of despair that is
increased by U.S. support of Israel

justice and peace," Marshall said.
Several speakers alluded to the
contradiction of condemning the
alleged Libyan sponsored terrorism
while condoning the Contra raids into Nicaragua . It's been widely
documented by human rights
organizations, they said, that the
Contras have destroyed health
centers, schools and
farm
cooperatives.
12,000 Nicaraguans have died in
the last five years, and "most of
those were civilians," noted Jean
Eberhardt, who just returned from
a three month stay in rural
Nicaragua. Eberhardt was part of a
"Northwest brigade" which was
helping build a grade school in South
Central Nicaragua.
"Two weeks ago, the Contras
raided the valley and came for the
two teachers and the two most visible community members in our
village. They were almost killed . The
school closed down after being open
for only two weeks. I hold my
government responsible ror this,"
she said.
Rep. Unsoeld made the terrorist/contra connection very clear.
"When the president talks of giving
aid to freedom lighters he means terrorist killers of unarmed civilians,
and the world sees it plain. So, just
as we deplore those terrori sts who
prey upon our civilians, let us now
stand together tall and say, 'we do
not support helping those terrorists
who prey upon the people or
Nicaragua. ' "
The Reagan Administration has
accused Nicaragua of fradulent and
unfair elections, wilile hailing elections in EI Salvador and Guatemala
as proof that demo c ra cy is
nourishing in Central America.

See Conlra page 9.

Increased U.S. violence will lead
to more Arab terrorist violence,
Nasser said. Bombing did not work
in Vietnam. "It's not likely that
pummelling Libya with bombs will
cause them to start a cost analysis,"
he said, causing laughter among the
audience.
He said the administration needs
to remember it is dealing with
another culture. Arabs are prepared
to die for what they see as a just
cause; and it follows that no amount
or bombing or threats will intimidate
them, he said.
"As long as the United States continues to support Israel, this problem
or terrorism will be certain to
escalate," he said.
The next speaker, Michael Lane,
compared the struggle of Palestinian

Arabs with that of indigenous people of this country, saying that as we
protest aggression against Libya, we
should also protest aggression
against Native Americans in the
United States. He referred to the
removal of Indians on Big
Mountain.
Faculty member Dan Leahy spoke
on the increasing use of U.S.
military power to respond to all
types of social and economi.:
problems-- first in Central America
and now in Libya. He said he
believes American corporations hoping to regain popular belief in
military might, and thus gain profits,
are testing to see how much muscle
Americans are willing to flex--or
how much militarization citizens will
tolerate.
According to Nasser, the United
States has used the image of the
Soviet Union as a horrible nation,
ready to "swiillow up the world," as
a pretense for militarization. But
with the Soviet Union's recent arms
reduction proposals, Nasser said, the
United States has lost grounds for
this claim. The Reagan administration is now using Khadaffi in place
of the Soviet Union to displace the
attention of the international community, he said.
Student Paul Gallegos spoke for
the Peace and Conflict Resolution
Center. He encouraged people to
come to the library lobby at noon,
Thursday, April 17, to write letters
to Reagan and chain letters to five
of their friends.
Responses to the bombing can be
made by calling the White House

Strategic plan outlined
Consultation scheduled
by Bob Baumgartner
Progress continues in the Environmental and Values and Aspirations Subcommittees as they hone
their drafts which will be released
April 21. On April 23, the subcommittees will have a campuswide consultation session which will allow
community members to comment on
their work.
According tu Mattie Bloomfield,
a st udent on the Environmental Subcommittee, subcommittee member s
brought up about 25 variables that
th ey feel are the major external in nuences that will act upon the school
in the future. The subcommittee
then organized these variables into
six categories. These categories will
be t he six high.lighted points most
important in Strategic Planning .
Envirunmental Subcommittee
chairperson Carolyn Dobbs refused
to outline the six points before their
publication because she said she
wants to focus coverage on the
Values and Aspiration Su bcommittee's work.
In explanation, Dobbs said the
Values and Aspirations Subcommittee's next draft will be comparable
(in term s of the step the work is in)

to the Environmental Subcommittee's previous draft outline had three
sections: practices to preserve; a list
of issues -- issues that have surfaced
but must be resolved by other com·
mittees; and trial balloons, provocative ideas to be discussed and
possibly shot down.
Practices to preserve includ e th e
fol lowing, according to the drafl
outline: narrative evaluations and
conferences ror student s and facul ty; an empha sis on rull-time study:
integrated curriculum with seminars.
interdisciplinary studies. theme work
and problem so lving; inlernhsips; individual and group contracls; a 20: I
stu dent /fac ulty ratio; the Stlldent
Activit ies Board and allocation process allowing students to decide
wherc studen t activities' money goes:
and studen t responsibility o n governance groups.
Issues include: faculty (since Ihe
majority of the faculty arc near Ihe
same age, they will retire at the same
time, leaving the college to hire new
faculty all at once). front loadin g

u.s. supporting oppressive dictatorship in Chile
On Saturday, April 12, Isabel
Allende was on campus to speak
about her native country's history of
oppression, the assassination of her
father, Salvador Allende -- who was
president at the time of his death -and contemporary events in her
homeland where the repressive
regime of dictator General Augusto
Pinochet makes the laws. (see related
article this
Allende, who

is a citizen of Chile, gave a press con-

ference after her lecture. What
folio ws is a transcript of that conference, written by Paul Tyler who
represented the CPJ. Questions were
asked by writers from the PostIntelligencer, the Tacoma News
Tribune, the Olympian, the Cooper
Point Journal, and the Capital
Press.

Isabel A lIende, speaking through an interpreter, explained conditions in post-miliiary-coup Chile.

Assassinated president's daughter visits
campus, describes abuses in Latin America
by Paul Tyler
Isabel Allende, daughter of
former Chilean President Salvador
Allende, spoke to a group of about
200 people in the Evergreen State
Library last Saturday, April 12. Her
fat her, a democratically elected
socialist, died in his office with a gun
in his hands, defending democracy
in Chile against a coup. The coup
was organized in 1972 by the Chilean
military with the aid of International
Telephone and Telegraph, and the
Nixon White House, according to
testimony given at a J 973 Senate
Subcommittee on Multinational
Corporations hea ring . Allende's appearance was sponsored by EPIC.
Speaking through an interpreter,
Alle nde told her audience about
C hile sin ce the coup and the state of
the current opposition against
Chile's mi litary strongman, Augusto
Pinoc het.
Immediately after the revolution,
the Pinochet government attempted
to implement economic policies in
accord with the supply-side theories
of such Amer ic an economis ts as
Milton Friedman, she said.
Alth o ugh there were some immediate improvement s, after a few
years the importation of cheap
fore ign goods had all but dest royed
C hil e's manufacturing base, Allende
expla ined. This, coupl ed with a staggering fore't\n debt, has put the
Ch il ea n economy o nt o a crisis
footing, she said. For example, today unemp loyment in Chi le is
arou nd 30 percent.
In 1982, one year after a Wall
SU"'et Journal art icle reco mm ended
importing some Chilean economists
to the Unit ed Sta tes to help solve o ur
fina ncia l problems, the gross nat ional product of C hil e dropped 15
percent, Allende said.
Santiago, the Chi lean capital has
the appearance of two ci ties, she explained. One is as rich and opu len t

as Zurich or Bonn, the other as poor
and depressed as Calcutta, she added. Unlike Zurich and Calcutta,
however, only a subway separates
the two Santiagos, she said.
The foreign aide that the United
States sent to her country after the
coup, to help demonstrate the potential of supply-side economics in
Latin America, has gone largely to
a small group of military supporters
and financial speculators rather than
to housing, health care, education,
and the improvement of national in dustry, Allende said.
In Chile today, the middle class is
disappearing and the poor are suffering under a grinding burden of
oppression and poverty, she said .
Allende blamed many of her
country's
problems
on
misunderstandings, intervention,
and a lack of respect for the
sovereign rights of her people on the
part of th e United States
government .
The U.S. attempts to validate its
claims that its security is threatened
by events in Latin America by tying
those events to the East/ Wes t confli ct; Allende sa id that Latin
America has little to do with that
prob lem.
She repeated several times that the
worst thing the United States could
do would be to intervene in Chilean
affa ir s again, no matter who we
might be intervening for. Chil ea ns,
as wit h a ll Latin American peoples,
she sa id, ca n find the sol ution s to
th eir problems without our help o r
hindrance.
T he Pinochet governme nt, which
has murdered, tortured, and ex iled
thousands, is now on a shaky
footing, Allend e sa id. Last August
the Ch ilean Catholic C hurch appealed to all Chilean dissidents to find
a peaceful so luti on for replacing the .
military di ctatorship with a
democracy, she explained . This led
to t he Na ti ona l Accord of 1985, a

program that calls for a return to
democratic government and an
economy characterized by a mix of
public and private ownership, she
added . This can be done through
mass mobilization of the different
sectors of Chilean society, she said.
Hopefully, civil disobedience,
demonstrations of resistance, and
presenting a list of social demands
to the government will force
Pinochet to step down without resorting to bloody repression, Allende
said.
Even if Chile should regain its
freedom, it still faces many problems. Chile's foreign debt, which
was $4 billion when Salvador
Allende was overthrown, is now at
$22 billion, she explained. Although
she questioned the legitimacy of this
debt, which she said has been contracted by a minority of Chileans
who sought only to serve themselves,
she would not be in favor o f outright
repudiation , she said.
She cited the Argentine suggestion
of a united Latin American front
toward international bankers, or the
Peruvian Model of tying debt
payments to economic performance
as two possible courses of action.
She ended her talk with a remembrance of her father, who spent fort y
years in the Chilean Congress
fighting for the rights of the poor .
Although he was offered a pl a ne in
which to flee the coup, with his family and closest associates, Allende
said, he chose to remain in hi s office until the bitter end . Anything
else, he felt, would have been a
betrayal of the trust hi s people had
placed in him, she expla ined .
In his last mom ents her father
talked of the broad avenues that led
to the Presidential Palace, a nd look ed forward to the day when the
trai tors would fall and free men
would once again walk those streets,
All ende concl uded, and assu red her
audience that this visio n will become
a realit y.

Phillipines are a helpful example to
our people. A few opposition
magazines have covered that situation extensively . It has helped improve the moral of the Chilean
opposition .
Q: You say you have opposition
magazines. Why are they allowed to
exist in a repressive political climate
like Chile's?
Allende: At the beginning of the
Pinochet coup there was no opposition press. What circulated were
pamphlets ... and underground press.
As a consequence of the social struggle more space was made for the opposition in the press. Now there are
four magazines with restricted circulation. They are a very important
influence for the sociaJ mobilization.
Even Pinochet cannot erradicate
the history of a people. As I said in
my talk, the Chilean people have
participated in social and political
struggles for 150 years . I guess
Pinochet figured it was better to
have some control over the opposi tion press than no control. There is
censorship. You can't print pictures
of demonstrations, so the editors
leave blank the space where the pictures should be. It is surprising, the
courage and the bravery of the
editors and publishers. They are
often arrested and taken to court.
Q : What has been the role of the
Catholic church in the opposition?
Allende: From the beginning the
church has been a voice for the people who have no voice, speaking in
defense of economic and social
rights . They have a growing commitment to the opposition as shown by
their initiation of the National Accord last year.
Q: What has the government's
response to their opposition been?
AJlende: !tis very contradictory. The
church is very influential and
sometimes the government must
concede to them . The hierarchy of
the church has been more diplomatic
in its dealing with the government.
The priests, who work closely with
the people and know their situation,
are not always so diplomatic. Some
of them have been assassinated .
Others have been sent into exile.
Q: What should the U .S. policy be?
AJlende: There has been a history of
misunderstanding and unfortunate
intervention in Latin America by the
United States . We do not want
any more intervention . It seems

'... the ailments of
democracy can
only be cured by
more democracy. '
shameful that the rulers of a country like this, who proclaim
themselves in favor of rights and
justice, the champions of the free
world , would protect and show
so lidarity with Pinochet. It's
shameful.
We have seen some changes lately . The United States has come out
in favor of the National Accord. The
U.S. Ambassador has said that the
ailments of democracy can only be
cured by more democracy. What is
clear, however, is that the U.S.
foreign policy ha s been in total support of Pinochet.
Q: Are you asking th e United States
to denounce Pinochet?
Allende: Yes , in the same way that
the international comm unity, in cluding every western European
couritry, has done.
Q: Are you a Marxist? Was your
father a Marxist?
Allende: My father a nn ounced
himself to be a Marxist, but only if
Marxism means a m et hod of
und erstand ing reality. He believed
that each country must find its own
sol ution s , that you can never apply
mechanical, doctrinaire ways of
achievi ng socia lism on anX society.

Personally, I don't know if I want
to accept the characterization of being a Marxist. I accept the dynamic
interpretations of social situations,
but I don't accept Marxism as an absolute answer to anyone's problems.
Q: Can multinational corporations
afford to see a successful
democratic-socialist state?
AJlende: It is the right of the Chilean
people to choose their own way. A
large number of people who supported Salvador Allende's Popular
Unity government would be in favor
of the program outlined in the National Accord: one sector of the
economy in private hands, one sector a public/private mix, and one
sector in public hands . This is
realistic and possible ir Chile .
Countries have the rIght to look
out for the interests of their own
people, especially when the government is democratically elected. The
corporations must take a careful
look at the legislation that is passed
within a country and behave in accord with it. If, as in the past, they
start to play with figures and
manipulate the government, then
there are problems . They don't have
the right to decide the fate of a
government. The clearest, most
shamefu l case, is how ITT
manipulated Chile before the coup.
Q: Is there a fear of allowing foreign
companies into Latin American
countries, given their record of
manipulation? If that fear exists,
doesn't it lead to more borrowing by
those countries and less actual investment by corporations?
Allende: I didn't say investments
shouldn't be allowed. The companies should obey the law. The
weakness of their economies has
forced the Latin American countries
to sell raw materials cheaply and import foreign manufactured products .
Q : The International Monetary
Fund was demanding a program of
austerity fTOm Latin American debtors until last October. The Reagan
administration has given the IMF
$29 billion to finance loan programs.
Can you speak to this?
Allende: This plan is absolutely insufficient. That amount of money
won't cover the interest due on the
Latin American debt for one year.
That debt is now $370 billion.
Q: What is the place of armed
resistance in Chile?
Allende: There are several ways of
getting rid of a dictatorship.
Negotiation is one way. This can
take place when the dictatorship
deteriorates too much. This is what
happened in Uraguay and Argentina. Military confrontation is
another way. This is possible when
an alternative army can be created
as in Nicaragua and Cuba. This is
an option when there is no other
way.
Political defeat is a third way.
This is the way we are seeking in
Chile. Mass struggle. Strengthening
democratic institutions. Civil disobedience . Getting every sociaJ sector to
present its demands. All of this can
make the country ungovernable
through a massive declaration of the
illegitimacy of the government. The
Phillipines are an example of this .
In my opinion the political course
is more appropriate given the history
of Chile. A military confrontation
would not be viable considering the
strength of the army . [ wouldn't
want to see my country in a civil war
that would last many years. The
logic of confrontation would weaken
and diminish the ma ss struggle .
Q: [s there enough support to make
this happen?
Allende: Yes. You can see it in the
students,
the
women,
th e
businessmen , the transit workers,
and other workers. It won't happen
tomorrow. It's a process . We need
to gain more space to operate and
to convene a m ajori ty . Some recent
polls in C hile show that 80 percent
are in opposition to Pinochet, even
some right wing sectors th at supported him at first. If the opposition
can agree on a common strategy it
could lead to Pinochet's overthrow.

THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL

The Board of Trustees raised summer tuition by 10 percent at their
April 9 meeting, that means $40
more for full-time residents, $32
more for half-time residents and $16
more for quarter-time students.
Tuitions will not be increased for
out-of-state students who are already
paying for 99 percent of their instructional cost. There will be no in-

crease for Southeast Asian veterans
who have a legislated lower rate than
residents during the normal year.
Karen Wynkoop, Patrick Hill and
John Perkins, the administrators
working on the summer program,
feel tbe tuition increase is reasonable
and manageable for most students.
The reason for the increase in
Summer tuition is to help support
the "self-supporting" summer

school program. Even though the
program is called "self-supporting"
it's not. It relies on money from the
regular academic year budget.
Evergreen has been operating
summer quarter on a self-supporting
basis since 1982. Self-supporting
means the state legislature does not
give the school any financial support
and the school must rely on tuition
alone to cover costs .

Trustees try to increase president's salary,
debate cultural literacy , discuss new money

Evergreen's
need
for
a
curriculum-based cultural literacy
was one of the major issues discussed at the Board of Trustees' April 9
meeting. The board also approved a
10 percent increase in summer tuition for state residents (see article on
this page) and approved new rules
which govern how the Financial Aid
Office uses certain monies.
They discussed a pay raise for President Olander and how to deal with
the increased erlrollment and the new
legislative money.
Margarita Mendoza de Sugiyama,
Evergreen's Affirmative Action Officer, started the cultural literacy
discussion by saying she feels that
Affirmative Action at Evergreen is
going well, and Evergreen is moving
to meet its long term affirmative action goals. But she also discussed the
need for cultural literacy throughout
the campus.
She said that some students have
expressed anger that American
minorities and their issues are not
being integrated as part of the curriculum. "There are faculty on this
campus who aren't culturally
literate, but I am trying to offer
them both human and material support," she said. Mendoza de
Sugiyama says that she has met with
only positive response from faculty
and they have expressed a desire to
work together with her.

Mendoza de Sugiyama then
related an experience in Yakima, her
home town, where she went with
Evergreen's recruitment staff. "I
saw only four Hispanics, and one of
them was in the hall." She feels the
recruitment policies don't find ways
to reach students of color. "We need
to make some decisions about how
we are getting people here," she
said. "We need to make changes
throughout the college not just in the
curriculum. "
The board charged Mendoza de
Sugiyama to find a concrete definition for "cultural literacy ." Jackson
says, "Evergreen as an institution
needs a definition of 'cultural
literacy' because otherwise each
faculty can have their own definition
and think they are meeting it already
Besides the touchy affirmative acwhen others feel they are not. We
need an institutionaJ definition so we
can know if we ever arrive."
"When we try and recruit students
of color to Evergreen, we tell them
there aren't Black studies or
Hispanic studies because those are
integrated into the regular curriculum. But when the students come
here they find it isn't true," Jackson
added. She would like to see the
works and history of American
minOrities in all programs;
"everyone could benefit from this,
not just minorities," she concluded .

tion issue the board also discussed
concrete business matters.
In 1981 the state legislature mandated that 2.5 percent of all tuition
payments be set aside for support of
certa in financial aid programs for
use by students who are Washington
residents. The board approved rules
and regulations which will allow
flexibility in the disbursement of
those funds so that they can be used
by students who qualify through
three different programs: emergency loans, institutional grants, and
student employment programs.
Several other funding sources exist
,for Emergency Student Loans.
However, the Financial Aid Office doesn't expect this action to
cause any major changes in how aid
is distributed.
The Board publically announced
its unhappiness in not being able to
show President Olander the
gratitude they feel for his outstanding performance with a salary
increase.
The board meeting ended with a
discussion of enrollment statistics
and the legislature's funding for new
enrollment. The money doesn ' t
cover any new enrollment, but just
covers the students Evergreen
already has due to over-enrollment.
Olander said he wants to spend the
money to fill holes in the faculty that
have been left unfilled due to budget
cuts.

supported system, the state gave a
set amount of money to the school,
and the school could only offer as
many programs as that money could
pay for. Now money is directly proportional to the number of students
enrolled. As a result, the summer
program is now abk to reach more
students in more programs and include more faculty.
The program has expanded rapidly over the years. In 1981, the last
year with a state supported summer
school, the full-time enrollment
(FTE) was 410. Last year the FTE

and how to get continuity in the curriculum -- from entry to graduation.
TriaJ Balloons, which subcommittee members realize will be the most
controversial section, include the
following as of the subcommittee's
April 9 meeting:
I) Require third year learning plan
and graduation project;
2) Shift quarters to semesters with
a break in January;
3) Offer some 50-60 person interdisciplinary lecture courses;
4) Trade an existing program for
a new Pacific Rim program;
5) Formally review intercollegiate
athletics to decide whther to expand,
sustain, improve, or abandon;
6) Plan for controlled growth;
7) Replace specialty areas with
broader curriculum areas, retaining
Core programs;
8) Foster communication among
teaching and non-teaching staff with
job rotation and cross-training;
9) Organize staff into cooperative
units which make their own decisions, set their own procedures, and
evaluate their own work in consultation with their supervisors and the
people they serve;
10) Use Individual Contracts for
advanced study only;
II) Trade an existing program for
a new communications and media
major;
12) Create a center to connect curri culum with community; and
13) Make a public service requirement which students must fulfill to
graduate.
Values and Aspirations Subcommittee member Rob Knapp says the
trial balloons are not recommendations but are ideas to be "shot at."
And subcommittee members feel
different about some suggest ions.
"We're look ing to stim ula te discussion," Knapp says.
That di sc us sio n has already

about 20 percent of its budget, from
the yearly academic budget.
Another problem is the inability
to predict summer enrollment; in its
third year the summer program lost
money that had to be made .lp out
of last year's summer revenues .
During the current legislative session Evergreen and the other
regional universities (who were just
told by the state to implement selfsupporting summer programs) lobbied for money to help defer summer costs. All the other regional
schools received some money and
were told not to raise tuition above
the regular academic year's rates.
Evergreen did not receive any supplemental grants to help them cover
cost~ .

Because of this Karen Wynkoop
and Patrick Hill recommended the
summer tuition increase to the Board
of Trustees . Wynkoop predicts that
$15,000 to $20,000 can be recovered
with the new summer sc hool
revenue.
The measure is being viewed as an
interim step while the school continues to lobby the legislature for a
state subsidy that will allow the
board to return the summer tuition
rate to its former level.

And the B.A. degree represents that
now; there's no requirement for it ,
just 180 credits . To start asking for
requirements for your B.A. degree
is taking responsibility away from
students," he said.
Brunn added that students then
would not work for themselves, but
would work to fulfill graduation requirements, thus decreasing their enthusiasm for their work.
Dugan Aitken, Evergreen student
from 1974-1977 re-enrolling for
summer session, disagreed with
Brunn . He thought the third year
plan and graduation requirement
was a good idea . He agreed with
most of the subcommittee's suggestions, adding that when he was at
Evergreen, he felt undirected at
times.
Aitken thought establishing a
Pacific Rim program was a good
idea because of opening commercial
markets in that area . .
But student Bob Waggoner said
the college would not trade one
course for another. "[ f you trade a
course off, or a , program off, it
means it wasn ' t any good to start
with. It simply means if you want to
add a course or program you're going to have to add new faculty ."
On the idea of planned growth,
Waggoner said, "Controlled growth
is a good idea, because you can't
coast uphill. "

Evergreen and Olympia may soon
get to know each other a little bet- ·
ter. That's what a student, community group hopes to achieve when
it opens a new activities center in
down town Olympia later this
month.
Since October of 1985, the
Greater Evergreen Students Community Cooperation Organization
(GESCCO) has sought to procure a
downtown space to use for cultural
and educational events of interest to
the entire Olympia community.
Theater productions, films, art
shows, lectures and other events will
find a new home .
"Anyone needing a change from
their usual hangout can head over
and hang out at our place," suggests
Argon Steel, one of several students
helping organize the center.
GESCCO has been renovating the
building, painting the walls, putting
in a floor, and setting up a lounge
complete with a juke box, and a concession run by the Smithfield Cafe
is in the works. The center is located
at Fifth and Cherry streets, about
seven blocks from the Columbia
street downtown bus station.
GESCCO announced that the activity center's grand opening will
take place Friday, April 25. It will
feature dance music from a variety
of bands, everything from swing to
rock. The center will be open from
3-9 p . m. Mondays through
Saturdays.
Establishing the center has been a
year long project. The S&A Board

appropriated $9,360 to the student
group to use over a six month
period. The funds will mostly go
toward rent and renovation of the
one story building.
"Instead of being limited to campus, students now have a place
downtown to put on cultural and
educational events ... this is a wide
open opportunity for anyone to put
on events with the minimum of hassle," said Denise Crowe, a GESCCO
organizer,
Some faculty have expressed interest in holding academic program
meetings at the center next fall. In
which case the college might need
approval from the state Higher
Education Coordinating Board
(HEe).
The HEC Board's Assistant for
Public Affairs, Kate Brown, said the
state law reads that the HEC Board,
"must approve the purchase or lease
of major campus facilities for fouryear public institutions and community colleges."
Neal Uhlman, acting executive
director for the HEC Board, said
Evergreen people have talked to him
about GESCCO, but the impression
they've given so far is the center will
be a student-use facility.
The center does fall under the
HEC Board's guidelines for a staff
review, he said, and Evergreen
has told him they will soon be sending a letter to his office so the staff
review can be done.
GESCCO hopes to establish the
center to allow diverse groups in
Olympia to come together. "While
I can't predict whether any of the

elderly will go [to the centerl, we've
had some great success in intergenerational projects among those
who've chosen to take part," said
Elsa McClean, Activity Director at
the Olympia Senior Center.
So far the Olympia community
appears to approve of the center.
"The city council was overwhelmingly supportive along with local
businesses and the senior center, in
particular," said Crowe.
"It hasn't been well advertised
yet, so we'll soon see if there is (any
opposition)," said Community
Development Coordinator Ken
Black, who works for the City of
Olympia.
The idea originally started when
Evergreen student Bret Lunsford
wanted a place to put his juke box .
[t has mushroomed into the ambitious project of creating a new
gathering place for cultural events.
GESCCO cleared many hurdles to
arrive at the center's grand opening.
Olympia has some of the strictest
fire codes in the nation and variances
(exemptions) on certain regulations
had to be secured .
"It was very difficult to get S&A
funds," said Crowe. "There are
definitely a few people looking to see
if we can pull it off," Steel added.
Black thinks the timing of the
center's opening isn't ideal, wondering if there will be enough student
energy to keep it going through the
summer.
"We have the longest and biggest
acronym on campus," says Crowe.
GESCCO emphasizes that despite
their corporate sounding name

they're a non-hierarchical volunteer
organization arriving at decisions
through consensus. "One of our biggest accomplishments early on was
putting together a good meeting
structure. Most of our original people are still with us," says Steel.

Housing seeks new student managers
by Lee Pembleton
As the mid-point of spring quarter
approaches, the time to think about
housing for next year breezes in.
Blown in with it this year are nine
student manager positions; four less
than last year .

Jeannie Chandler , director of
Housing, said Housing was hiring
fewer student managers this year for
financial reasons; Housing, which
operates independently of the college, has been operating with a
deficit for the past two years.
Chandler said she did not think
students would diminish with the
lowering of student manager ' s
numbers, "1 think the workload will
increase, but the responsibilities will
not be signi ficantly di fferent."
Student managers are student
representatives for Housing . They
keep vaccuums and mops, arrange
potlucks and other activities and enforce Housing policies.

Burger
~------Served

Student managers are trained during the two weeks before Housing
officially opens in the fall. The eightday training course teaches, among
other skills, first aid, CPR, drug and
alcohol use versus abuse, and
cu ltural awareness.
Student managers receive a $250
rent cut, free telephone installation,
earn $3.60 an hour, and work about
15 hours a week . Chandler said she
did not think lowering the number
of student managers would affect
the amount of time they worked .
The biggest problem Chandler
said she saw was the duality of the
job; student managers are normal
students, who are called on to be
authority-figures at times.
Of the 13 students who are student
managers now, six are eligible for reapplication, a student may on ly be
a student manager for two years .
Five of those six are re-applying for
the position, and it is likely they will
be accepted, so four positions will be
open for next year, said Chandler.

Housing is looking for a few good
students. "I think diversity is the
key," said Chandler. "We're looking for people who are caring, and
who are genuinely interested in other
people."
Chandler emphasized that Housing would like to have student
managers who represent the many
different cultural backgrounds of
Evergreen students, and who had ex-

perienced living and studying at
Evergreen. Workstudy students are
encouraged to apply in particular,
she said .
There is a mandatory information

advertising these positions. People

Independent observers of the elections in Nicaragua indicate otherwise. "Many of our European allies
say that the elections in Nicaragua
were fairer and less fraudulent than
those that happened in El Salvador
yet we tote those as a symbol of
democracy in Central America,"
said Marshall.
Supporters of aid to the Contras
have blamed the Nicaraguans for the
breakdown of the Con tad ora peace
process and held it up as proof that
the Sandinistas are, as columnist/publisher W.R. Hearst says, "a
communist stooge government like
the Soviet satellite ones in Europe
and Cuba."
Rep. Unsoeld, however, told the
crowd that the breakdown was really caused by Nicaragua's rejection of
a change in previously agreed upon
language. Last January's document
strongly opposed aid to the Contras
and called for the removal of all
foreign Contradera military advisers. The latest draft would have
banned Cuban advisers, but allowed American advisers and military
aid to continue.

DTF draft defines where smokers can light up
The Smoki ng DTF has written the
second draft of the campus smoking
policy. The following policy is still
open for modification. Most student
complaints concerned placement of
smok ing areas in the CAB; so this
is o ne issue open to student faculty
and staff discu ss ion at the next
Smok ing DTF meeting noon and 4
p.m. Monday, April 21 in CAB 104.
The following is a smoking policy
draft:

~

.

The Washing/on Clean A ir Act oj
1985 recognizes that numerous
Hudies indicate /hat non-smokers
can suffer lung damage and other
health problems from breathing
secondary smoke from smokers. The
in/elll of this policy in accordance
with this act, is to protect the health
al/d welfare of the non-smoker in
public facilities where the nOI/smoker must be present or pass
th rough in order to perform work or
carryon personal aclivities.
Further, this policy is estatJlished
/0 protect life and property where
smoking may create a fire hazard.
Therefore, designated sm oking areas

are 10 be restricted to spaces where
non-smokers are not required to be
preJem or pass through.
The Clean Indoor Air Act restricts
smoking to specifically designated
areas within public facilities. Under
term s of the law "smoking" means
"carrying or smoking of any kind of
lighted pipe, cigar, cigarette or any
other lighted smoking equipment. "
A public place is defined as "Ihat
pori ion of any building or vehicle used by and open to Ihe public
regardless of whether the building or
vehicle is owned in whole or in part
by privale persons or enlities, Ihe
slate of Washington, or other public
emily, and regardless of whether a
fee is charged for admission. "
Although the Clean Indoor A ir
A ct does not require remodeling of
facilities or financial investment to
establish or iso late smokin/i or
nonsmoking areas, every effort
should be made to support the
fo lio wing statemen t as it appears in
Ihe law: "Where s moking areas are
designated, existing physical barriers
alld ventilation system shall he used
to minimize the toxic effect of smoke
in adjacent non-smoking areas. "
Non-Smoking Areas:
I n accordance with WAC

beca use of required 24-hour desk
servIce.
Posting:
All such designated smoking areas
shall be visually identified as such.
All comm only used non-s moking
areas shall also be identified by appropriate signs. Areas to be posted
will be determined by the vice president for Development and Administrative Services.
The director of Facilities is
respon sible for providing, posting
and maintaining all signs. If an open
area is divided into smoking and no
smoking spaces, the boundary between the two shall be clearly marked. Signs shall also be conspicuously posted on each building entrance.
Future Designations:
The president or vice-presidents
may designate additional smoking or
non-s moking areas provided that
such designation is permissible under

the law . The vice president for
Development and Administrative
Services shall select one faculty, student, and staff representative each
to conduct an annual review of
designated smoking and nonsmoking areas and make recomendations for any revision to the vice
president for consideration .. The vice
president shall seek approiJriate
community involvement as identified in the college governance
document when considering
revisions.
Enforcement:
We expect all members of the
campus community to be sensitive to
and respect this policy by their actions and therefore accept shared
responsibility for its enforcement.
Any member of the Evergreen com·
unity who witnesses someone in
violation of this policy should bring
it to the attention of the offending
individual. If satisfactory resolution
is not achieved, the violation should
be reported to the supervisor, faculty
member, or other person in charge
of the area. It is the responsibility of
each supervisor, faculty member,
manager, operator or other person
in charge of an area to respond to
complaints of violation. As the law
states, "any person intentionally
violating this Chapter by smoking in
a public place not designated as a
smoking area or any person removing, defacing or destroying a sign required by this Chapter is subject to
a civil fine of up to one hundred
dollars." It will ultimately be the
responsibility of the appropriate vice
president to determine if legal action
will be taken in cases of violation.

New security system works
by Ch ristine Ca meron

Eve rgreen's Emergency Communications Ce nter (ECC) has
worked to improve coverage of the
telecommunications serv ice, alert
and dispatch Security, and co nso lid ate and implement the
maintenance and fire a larms since
last September when it was first
estab li shed.
The Cent er, accord in g to Jim
Duncan, director of General Services, saves over $30,000 a year. It
comb ines the security sys tems of
three areas: Security, Telephone
system s, and the Utility Plant.
Advantages of the ECC are many .
The center has hired six full-time
Emerge ncy Ce nter Operators
(ECO's). This provides for constant
24-hour coverage. The operators
hand le all incoming calls to the college. A 24-hour Delta Printer in stantly a lerts them to any alarms on
campus. They then a lert the Utility
Plant or Security to respo nd to the
call.
According to Duncan, th e
elimination of the emergency call
board in the Utility Plant not only
frees the maintenance staff from
having to keep a constant watch over
the board but also gives them the
time and freedom to do preventative
maintenance work on campus
grounds.
Emergen cy calls and alerts made
daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. are referred immediately to Security while
simultaneously calling 911. Response
differs from 4 p.m. to 8 a.m. when
the ECO's not only call 911, but
handle the dispatching of Security as
well.
Duncan is enthusiastic about the
progress of the center. He points out
that prior to its establishment,
emergencies might be referred to any
one of three points. Now, with one
number, all emergencies are handled in one location, lessen ing the time
of response.
Duncan asked to be quoted about
the new Emergency Communications Officers, saying "They are very
conscientious . I'm very proud of the
way they've reacted in emergencies."
He stated that he could think of no

drawbacks or disadvantages rega rding the center.
Emergency ca lls from on campus
can be made by dialing 911,

although maintenance and building
problems should be referred to
x6140 or the campus operator after
5 p.m.

Phone-a-thon breaks record
During 13 nights of telephoning in
February, over 130 students, alum ni, staff and faculty members of The
Evergreen State College powered the
college's a nnual Phone-A-Thon to
new highs in every category.
"The effort topped last year's
record by recording $31,240 pledged, a'n in crease of over $5,000 from
1985," reports Director of Development John Gallagher. "Callers
reachtd more alumni, parents, and
friends and received larger average
rl e dg e~ than ever before. For the

first time in the seven-year history of
Evergreen's Phone-A-Thon, alumni
made more than half of the pledges.
Parents of current students and
parents of alumni continued to provide very strong support. When the
calling was finished, 968 people had
made pledges, II percent more than
last year."
Proceeds from Phone-A-Thon '86
will help Evergreen students by providing scholarhips, support for the
library and special grants for projects and activit ies.

How to Make Love
by Charles R. Sturge

Who is Arion? ·
by Duane Anderson
While brainstorming titles for a magazine of creativity, my eyes noticed
my copy of Edward Tripp's . "The Meridian Handbook of Classical
Mythology." The Greeks were reasonably creative, so I figured this handbook could be my solution.
I searched first for a female name; I found, however, that most of the
female names that sounded like a good magazine title were accompanied
by a story that was far from great. From my random selection, I found
that most of the female characters in the handbook were either being saved
from grave peril by a male or they were being oppressed by some god
or creature. The Greeks do not appear to be ones for many heroines.
So I turned to the males and eventually came across a poet and bard
named Arion.
According to the handbook, Arion came from the Lesbian city of Methymna and is credited with inventing the dithyramb [a Greek choral song of
a wild character and often with irregular form]. He is most interesting,
though, because of a legend about a sea escape.
He was on a profitable singing tour of Sicily, when the crew of a ship
he was traveling on decided to kill him for his wealth . Before the crew
killed him, though, they allowed him one last song. His song attracted
some dolphins so Arion jumped overboard . One of the dolphins then gave
Arion a ride to shore.
Arion then made his way to the port the crew was headed for. The local
king, though, did not believe Arion until the crew showed up and claimed
Arion had not been on their ship. Arion then appeared before the crew.
The crew confessed and were crucified, while a bronze statue of a man
and a dolphin was made in honor of Arion.

What is Arion?
'Arion is a place for creative writing that does not necessarily fit
newspaper style.
Arion is a place for short stories, humor, essays, reviews and feature
stories.
In addition, Arion is a place to experimental journalism.
Last quarter, the Cooper Point Journal ran three magazines in a cycle; '
to avoid confusion, though, this quarter the three magazines will be combined into one . Arion will run weekly in the Cooper Point Journal as a
pullout section .
.
The weekly deadline for Arion is Fridays at noon for the next Thursday's Cooper Point Journal.
For more information contact Duane Anderson at the Cooper Point Journal (CAB 306). x6213.

Loneliness causes the most suffering in the world, probably even surpassing hunger. I have known several
rather wealthy people who have had
plenty of friends yet were lonely. Some
were actually quite pretty or handsome. It seems that almost everyone
is lonely, most of the time. Some overcome the dull pain of it by busy work.
Many have built invisible glass shells
around themselves; they can see out
and others can see in, but no intimate
touching is possible.
It seems apparent that people suffer this affliction because of ignorance,
not knowing what to do about it. I have
asked school teachers and church
leaders how they would feel about having classes to teach children how to
make love. Some were shocked. I think
they all presumed that I was giving a
soft sell to promote sex education.
"No. No. Set that subject aside for this
discussion." Some concede that such
training might be good, but confess
that they didn't know what sort of
lessons should be presented.
"Do you tend to agree with the idea:
'Make love, not war?' "
"Why, yes. Of course."
''Would it seem to be alright to teach
our children to 'make love, not war?' "
"Yes. "
"Perhaps one reason for so many
broken homes and divorces may be
that people don't know how to love
each other. Maybe they don't know
how to be loveable."
"I guess you're right."
"Does your son or daughter think
that having sex is the same as making love?"
"Well, I...well, I should hope not."
Parents" hope" their children have
learned what love is, and how to get
a fair share. I think we should have a
visible plan to teach people what they
need to know.
There are many kinds of love:
mother's love, buddyship, friendly affection, love for pets, hero worship.
My subject today is proper intimacy,
belonging, wanting to be owned and
possessed, and compulsion to occupy
the same space, press skin, mingle
vibes. Super togetherness in overdrive.
Soulmates. Personal caring so intense

that it hurts. Romantic stories tell of
risking lives for love.

HOW TO MAKE LOVE
1) BE THERE: You can't work overtime
every night, or hang around the pub,
or get laid up in the hospital, or put
in jail and still get your share of love.
If you are a hermit and never go where
love might be found you will not get
any.
2) WANT TO: You may go to school,
office, church, or summer camp where
opportunities abound. If you shun intimacy; if you are terrified at the idea
of being touched; if you have an overwhelming inferiority complex, you can
play it safe ... all by yourself.
3) PROPOSE INTIMACY: (I don't mean
sex here.) There may be a hundred
ways. Offer to buy a drink, or share
some gum, or help a little. Women
may help other women fit a dress. Men
may arrange to overhaul a car, or put
on a roof together. People can offer
fun and games to pets. "If you come
over here I'll scratch your ears."
4) COMMUNICATE: There is magic
here. When communication starts
working affinity and reality perk up.
Already you have the foundation for
friendship and teamwork.
5) HAVE GAMES TOGETHER: Do fun
things together. Solve problems, make
things, go places. Be teammates or
worthy opponents; win a few, lose a
few. Share dreams and frustrations.
Laugh together. Cry together.
6) COLLECT INTIMACY: A lot of people pay their dues, then don't collect
the payoff. They turn away when it's
time for closeness. At the very least
you now have a buddyship going: Now
there is trust, loyalty, admiration,
WARMTH. You feel good together.
You miss each other. SOMEBODY
DOES CARE! It seems natural to belong
together, and share secret thoughts
and feelings. No loneliness here. Personal sacrifice, if necessary, seems to
be almost a privilege. Touching is a
good thing to do, now.
Good loving requires practice . Think
of loving as a contact sport. Beginners
benefit from good coaching. Some
people are clumsy at tenderness
because they never knew anyone who
could do it right.

Chuck fills in with bass, but it hasn't

Student businessman sets site on campus pub
by Maggie Murphy
Ben Lincoln is a businessman.
With a private petition, Lincoln, a
21-year-old Evergreen Senior, is asking for signatures to determine if
Evergreen community members are
in favor of a campus pub.
Lincoln is pursuing a business
career and said, "I'm an entrepreneur and a businessman at
heart. My interest in this project is
educational. I'd like to see how the
politics of the school runs." He
became interested in developing a
pub when working for the Information for Action Student Committee
tabulating a recent Student Activities
sponsored survey.
If you participated last quarter in
the campus-wide survey , you may
remember question 34 asking,
should there be a pub or tavern on
ca mpu s? Although the results of the
survey are unofficial, Director of
Student Activities, Michael Hall
said , it looks like maybe 55 percent
to 65 percent of the student body is
in support of a campus pub, but the
numbers are not overwhelming. Hall
is ad vising Lincoln on the pub idea.
Lincoln's vision of a pub is "an
env ironment conducive to the
Evergreen community, similar to the
atmosphere of the Asterisk and
Cheese Library on Olympia' s
westside." He said, "Ideally I seethe
pub operating outside the existing
eateries on camp us . I envision the
pub not only serving beer and wine,
but non-alcoholic beverages, pizza,
hot dogs and hamburgers, as well."
He said he would like to see it

Ben Lincoln, who waflls a pub on campus,
managed and operated by students,
with possibilities for internships. He
proposes a relaxed social setting and
hopes entertainment would be an integral part of the pub's amb iance.
Lincoln proposes housing the pub
in CAB 104. Currently CAB 104 is

a non-smoking lounge used as an
alternative dining and social space to
The Greenery. He suspected his pro·
posal to establish the pub in CAB
104 might upset some non -smokers
on campus.
Problems arising with a campus

pub are as varied as the benefits of
a new socializing space. "It wouldn't
be a place for people to sit and get
smashed," Lincoln said. But, in a
drinking establishment there are
those who will abuse the drug .
Because of this, Lincoln proposes
alcohol awareness information and
educational classes be available. Lincoln said, "You can just hope people are responsible."
Another problem that concerns
Lincoln is the division in the student
body that would be created by those
over and those under the legal drinking age. Here Lincoln hoped the pub
could host both minors and "of
age" students because it would offer non-alcoholic beverages in addition to beer and wine. On this point,
however, Lincoln was uncertain of
legal stipulations.
Next to the question of student
support, legalities are central to the
campus pub issue. The SAGA corporat~on
is contracted with
Evergreen for the next five years and
owns a monopoly on all food vending on campus, with the exception
of The Corner.
Dennis Snyder, Director of the
Bookstore, Food Services and Parking, said the idea of a pub was great,
but it would be long in coming to
fruition. He thinks SAGA would be
receptive to the idea of a campus
pub, but he could not speculate what
complexities and complications
would arise when SAGA was approached with the idea. Snyder said
SAGA woul:! own the right to vend
the food in a campus pub.
If Evergreen were to establish a

campus pub, it would be breaking
new ground. With the exception of
a faculty lounge on the University of
Washington's campus, no colleges
or universities in Washington
operate pubs. In fact, RCW
66.44.190 (Revised Code of
Washington), makes it illegal to sell
intoxicating beverages on a colle,lle
campus. It likely would take legislation, then, to revise this rule.
Besides RCW 66.44. 190 to overcome, funding a campus pub is costly. Snyder said, "Right now, most
of the food preparation equipment
is over 12 years old. The school owns
this equipment and we have to think
about replacing it. New equipment,
like ovens and beer taps, are extremely expensive." In addition,
licensing, operation, and insurance
fees are all costly ventures.
Spending money on socializing
and activity spaces is not new . for
Evergreen. Recently, S&A awarded
approximately $10,000 to GESCCO
(Greater Evergreen Students
Cooperative Community Organization) for the very purpose of a
soc ializing space and student
organization activities .
Because students have the right to
form special interest groups and be
awarded large sums of money from
S&A, as was GESCCO, a campus
pub seems feasible to Lincoln.
So far, Ben Lincoln is tackling
pub possibilities alone. He said,
"When I find students interested in
helping with researching the project,
I'll welcome the help." At the time
of the interview, he had well-wishers
only.

Evergreen 1974: 'Goals and Realities'
The following is a staff editorial
taken from the CPJ special "Goals
and Realities" issue dated Nov. 21,
1974. William P. Hirshman was the
editor at the time. Contrary to the
prevalent belief that a "golden age"
existed here in the early years, we see
in this essay the same type of issues
currently being dealt with by the
Values and Aspirations Committee
of the Strategic Planning Council.
"Blasts from the past" is compiled by: Denise Crowe, Bret
Lunsford, Argon Steel and Clay
Zollars.
You've heard it all before -- the
refrain is a familiar part of
Evergreen by now. It can be heard
in the seminars, in the drop-in
centers, in the offices, and in the
hallways. The students, the facuIty,
and the staff alike all seem to be uttering it. It goes something like,
"Evergreen wasn't supposed to be
like this," or, "I thought Evergreen
was an experimental, progressive
school. How can this (or that or the
other) have happened?"
"This (or that or the other)"
usually refers to some action of the
administration, or some attitude or
behavior of a student, faculty or
staff member, that runs contrary to
the stated purpose of Evergreen, or
the "Evergreen dream."
The rejection of Chuck Harbaugh, the situation with the Public
Information and Minority Affairs
contracts use of Evergreen's video
equipment, the increasing trend
towards factionalization via faculty
and student unions, the increasing
theft rate in the library, the lack of
student input into curriculum planning, and many other symptoms all
stand as evidence of a change that
seems to be taking place .
As those trusted with the task of
chronicling the daily life of a college,
we at the Journal have seen and
heard the many troubled expressions
of disillusionment, perhaps even
outright alienation, among the
various members of the Evergreen
community.
A little over four years ago when
this college first opened up the
"Evergreen Dream" began. But at
this point, following a number of administrative decisions which have
come "from the top" with little support "from the bottom" we, the
editors of the Journal, have taken on
the task of trying to interpret,
analyze, and define the meanings
and problems behind that dream.
The words "Omnia Extares" appeared on Evergreen sweatshirts
with stenciled geoducks, the college
mascot, during the first year.
Roughly translated from the Latin
it meant "let it all hang out."
However, recently new phrases have
emerged, phrases which when
translated depict a serious problem
at Evergreen -- frustration.
"The Social Contract has been
torn up." So stated faculty member
Tom Rainey at last Thursday's
(November 14) all-campus meeting
regarding the academic deans' rejection of gay faculty candidate Chuck
Harbaugh, characterized in a memo
from the deans as an "avowed
liberationist."
The Social Contract, which we all
."sign" by becoming members of the
Evergreen community, assures
among other things that there will be
"no discrimination at Evergreen
with respect to race, sex, religious
belief, or national origin with respect
to .. .employment." The Harbaugh
situation, one in a string of recent
controversial decisions by the deans
and other top administrators, seemed to be a blatant violation of the
Contract.
Rainey's statement was indicative
of a mood of frustration that has
begun to permeate the coUege community in recent weeks . Thursday's

meeting was one of the largest public
displays of this frustration, this sense
of powerlessness and alarm in the
face of decisions over which many
students, staff and faculty feel they
have no control.
Frustration with these decisions,
with these events, has not only
become a problem in itself, but has
led to a discussion and a reevaluation of the roles of the campus's four main constituencies:
students, staff, faculty, and
administrators.
Plans are currently underway for
a "student union" at Evergreen,
which is how some students have
reacted to their frustrations and reevaluations. Don Martin, one of the
union's proponents, wants the
organization to be a forum for the
systematic and effective presentation
of the wishes of the students, since
he feels that administrators at
Evergreen make too many decisions
without really weighing the student
input that they are expected to solicit
according to the Committee on
Governance (COG) Document.

dialogue -- is important to understand . Some sense of the school and
the community's perception of it is
either evolving or breaking down.
How Different Are We?
Probably the one perception of
Evergreen which everyone on campus would agree upon is that this
school is in some way different. That
is why we are here. Students came
here to try something different than
a standard college education. Faculty came to teach in a different format. The founders and administrators set it up as an alternative to what was already availabl~.
A part of this perception is of
course that, hopefully, Evergreen is
not only different from but better
than its alternatives: otherwise there
would be not reason to be here. The
frustration and dissatisfation of the
past two weeks, then, is the result of
a disappointment of this belief, a
realization that things are not working right. We don't seem to be living up to our own expectations.

about sense of "community" will
hopefully -- though not essentially -grow as a natural product of that.
Basically he is right, in that the
primary purpose of a college is
academic. Why, then, is so much attention and energy being directed into the social and political side of
Evergreen, its administrative
procedure?
It is because governance at this
school, as at any school, exists for
the primary purpose of facilitating
the learning process. When governance procedure is violated our
academic quality is in danger : the
same is true when the spirit of the
Social Contract is violated. The administrative decisions currently
under fire betray an attitude contrary to the one we expect and demand from everyone in the community, administrators as well as
everyone else, which is an attitude of
tolerance, of non-discrimination,
and of cooperation and consultation.
Evergreen's Documents

It appears, then, that the decisionmaking process at the college is at
the root of the unrest. It is the way
that important decisions are made,
and hence what those decisions are,
that frustrates those who want a
greater voice. As students particularly perceive th.ir lack of control, they
begin to feel less and less that the
school is theirs, less and less that
they are important.
One effect this sense of alienation,
of separateness, has apparently had
is in the new pattern of losses at the
library. It appears that this year
students are walking off with library
materials at a far greater rate than
ever before, Of course, it is common
at most schools for this problem to
occur, and most colleges have an
elaborate security system to prevent
it.
The fact that Evergreen is now
beginning to have this problem can
be taken as evidence that somehow
we are becoming more like other
schools, where it is common for the
student body to regard the institution as an adversary. People steal
only that which is not their own, and
there must be some feeling that the
library's books do not belong to us
all. It is not a change in library ac·
cess policy that has caused this; it is
a subtle change in tone that affects
the entire school.
This change -- symptoms of which
are frustration, a sense of impotence, dissatisfaction with administrative decisions, rising
campus-wide theft, a breakdown of

At the round table discussion held
last Monday night, three main explanations of our current troubles
emerged: first, that maybe
Evergreen does not differ from more
conventional institutions after all.
Second, that Evergreen is different,
but not in its basic structure. Third,
that all the division and frustration
we've been feeling is a sign of health
-- "growing pains," as President
Charles McCann put it -- and is actually a good thing.
The second point - that Evergreen
is indeed different but not in its ba~ic
structure -- rests on the assumption
that, while Evergreen's documents
do not define its uniqueness, that
quality lies instead in people's
assumption that it is unique.
Members of the community are here
because they think it offers them an
alternative, However, all the differing expectations lead to contlict and
lack of communication, and so the
frustration stems from this.
The third view could be described as "naive realism." It holds that
compared to other institutions
Evergreen is well off, and that all the
current strife is just a healthy tunnoil
as we search for an identity. In this
view it is enough, really, for
Evergreen to be doing all right, and
that our present turmoil is just a process from which, somehow, our
identity will emerge.
McCann expressed the view during the round table discussion that
Evergreen is primarily an academic
enterprise, and that the much-talked-

The real question which all these
different views present is this: what
are Evergreen's goals? And, once
that is answered, the analysis of the
problems the school is facing breaks
down into this question: are the
frustration and difficulty that
members of the community are feeling a result of a departure from
those goals, or are they a natural
result of them (either their proper
working-out or evidence of their
impossibility)?
The place where Evergreen's goals
have been put down on paper is in
its documents: the COG document,
the Social Contract, the yearly college catalogue, and informally in a
series of position papers by faculty,
staff and students during 1973 in a
magazine called "Evergreen
Symposium. "
An editorial in Evergreen Symposium, May 1973, states th.at the
"fundamental principle of governance at Evergreen" is that "each
person in this community performs
tasks for which he is deemed accountable and therefore responsible."
The editorial goes on, "You cannot
say that so and so is responsible for
such and such a task and then, in a
crunch, legitimately act as though he
were not. This principle of governance applies to everyone in the
community and ... corresponds
directly to Evergreen's unique style
of learning." The unification of learning and governance principles
under a single cooperative responsibility is important.
The Social Contract is printed in
every catalogue and explains in its
introduction that "all persons who
become affiliated with the College as
students or as employees agree as a
condition of acceptance or employment to conduct themselves according to the principles embodied in
these documents." Besides the provisions against discrimination cited
earlier, the Social Contract defines
the nature of a number of processes
at this school. It describes governance procedure as a "system ... that
encourages widespread participation
in the making of College decisions ."
Every de facto signatory of the Contract (meaning every member of the
Evergreen community) agrees to
"protect in an active, thoughtful,
and concerned way .. .the right of
each member of the community to
pursue different learning objectives
within the limits defined by
Evergreen's resources in people,
materials, and equipment, and
money."
Of course, the document most
salient to Evergreen's governance
procedure and how it relates to the

fulfillment of the school's goals is
the COG document. In describing
the general procedure for making a
decision, the document stateg:
"Those persons involved in making
decisions must be held accountable,
should be locatable, and, most importantly, need to be responsive.
"Decisions should be made only
after consultalion and coordination
with students, faculty, and staff,
who are affected by and interested
in the issues, while recognizing that
administrators may be affected by
various accountable restraints.. .
"The Evergreen community
should avoid frac(ioning into
decision-making constituencies Wilh
some sort of traditional representative form of government; e.g.,
faculty senate, student council .. .
"Decision-making at Evergreen
will take place at the administrative
level closest to those affected by (he
particular decision. Those responsible for making the decisions will be
locatable and accountable; they will
be expected to obtain input and advice from concerned parties as a
regular part of the decision-making
process. "
This is really the core of the COG
document: decision-making takes
place at the administrative level, and
those who make the decisions are ex·
pected to obtain input and advice.
There is no concealment of the fact
that Evergreen is not governed
democratically. It was intentionally
set up to avoid that.
It is almost a rule of the
bureaucratic thumb that once a decision is made it is nearly impossible
to sec it unmade or reversed ,
although the resolution of the Harbaugh issue is a partial exception .
Real power lies in decision-making,
not decision unmaking.
The curriculum planning dispute
brings up a deeper problem . It may
be workable to exclude student
power from decision-making in most
matters, but curriculum directly affects the studerft .
In Evergreen's "Self-Study
Report" from March of 1973, under
"Institutional Goals and Statement
of Purpose," it is stated that
"Evergreen endeavors to build a
mode of learning that starts from the
individual rather than the curriculum . Thus in the Evergreen learning mode the line of development
is to be . . .from individual to
discipline, rather than .. .from
discipline to individual. " It is hard
to read this any other way than as
stating that students (for at least student needs) are to originate the
curriculum.
.
It is the growing perception of student powerlessness over academic
planning, and perhaps the growing
realization of the students' right to
do that here at Evergreen, that is
behind the recent surge of protest.
An Appeal

10

Ihe Community

The Journal has presented here a
number of explanations for the difficulties that the college is encountering. It is up to the community at
large to decide which one is right -that is, what are our goals, what are
we here for? And then, do our current problems spring naturally from
the attempt to implement those current goals, or do they result from a
loss of touch with them?
We need to talk. Everyone on the
Evergreen campus, be they staff,
faculty, students, or administrators,
needs to crystallize (or re-crystallize)
what our interest is in being together
on this campus and how we can best
serve it. Disputes and turmoil like we
are experiencing now aft' not bad in
and of themselves, but they are
symptoms of a deeper problem; one
of cross-purposes and lack of communication and consensus .

CPE challenges Evergreen art programs in 1986

'",

by Stefan Killen

This is the seco nd part of a two
part interview with Expressive Arts
faculty member Susan Aurand conce rning the Expressive Arts Review
that is presently in process . The
questions in last week 's interview addressed the effect this review could
have on th e arts at Evergreen; the
questions in this second part of the
interview concern the general
philosophy of the Expressi ve Arts
faculty, an issue the review required
the faculty to address.
A note of reminder: this interview
was done in November of 1985 when
the Expressive Arts area's own selfevaluation was not yet completed.
This section of the review is now
complete and available to the public;
interested students can see John
Perkins, LI B 2210 . For a more com plete introduction to the review,
refer to the April 10, 1986 issue of
the CPJ
EAN: I'll ask one question concerning the material that has come up
so far in the review. One component
of the Internal Review is described
as follow s: "A succinct statement
describing the philosophy, content
and objectives of the specialty area.
This should cover the relationship to
the goals and policies of t he college,
the specific conceptual tools, factual
and intuitive knowledge the speicalty area its trying to teach , and its
relationship to the other curriculum
specialty areas." Is this something
you're working on?
S: Yes. We haven't done it, we
haven't finished it, but we've started
on it.
EAN: Could you give any suggcstion
of what is being said?
s: It's a little soon. In fact , that' s
probably going to be one of the thor-

I

nier parts, because thar gets right at
the problem of lack of concerns
about where to go next.
EAN: Amongst the Expressive Arts
faculty?
S: Yes, among the faculty . Where we
are is that we feel that (something we
tried to say in the descript ion in the
catalog) creative work should be an
integral part in undergraduat e
education, that the kind of skills
(conceptua l skills) that are involved
in t hat process are a crucial part of
the training of the mind. That is the
purpose of an undergraduate education, so that it is appropriate work
to do, both for people who want to
pursue a career in the arts and for
people who have no intention in pursuing the arts, so that we do not see
ourselves only serving future art majors, but being an integral part of an
interdisciplinary area because we
have all these different disciplines
represented, theater, film , music,
visual arts, etc.
It's like having biologists,
physicists, chemists there all thrown
together in one pot. But then we also
want to have strong interdisciplinary
ties -- where more students go out of
performing arts areas and work in
the natural sciences, work on computers, and where students from
those areas come in and there are
joint programs. Since the last review
there has been less of that in terspecialty area crossing, fewer interspecialty area programs. There
used to be more of that.
EAN: was that a decision that was
made -- that there would be less?
S: Part of that came about because
faculty members shrank to the point
where we didn ' t have enough people to provide curriculum both for
students who are studying specifically within the arts and in cross

specialty area programs. We decided to survey students who identi fied
themselves within the arts, wanting
full-time work in the arts. One surprising statistic in the student questionnaire so far is that something
close to 80 percent of the students
who responded said they plan to
pursue careers in the arts. That's
phenomenal to me.
EAN: That suggests that most of the
st udents in the Expressive Arts are
not involved in other programs .
S: A lot of them have. But by the
time they come here they've decided this is what they want to do. Lots
and lots have taken humanities,
social sciences; a lot of sophomores,
juniors and seniors. But once they
get into the Expressive Arts programs, that's it. The analysis is quite
surprising. Our idea that the students
move in and out of the area is not
happening . That was in our minds.
EAN: But they might if t here were

with what we have?
S: Right. What we have to do in the
report is essentially to describe what
our position has been, de facto.
Because there's been a stated position which has been a little at
variance with what our actual position has been, simply because of the
numbers of people. And the fact that
there has been fewer and fewer interspecialty area programs because
there's been fewer faculty to do
them.

more programs designed for this.
S: Exactly.
EAN: Do you think it's possible for
t he faculty to come up with some
unified philosophy? Does it seem inevitable at this point that there's going to be some difference?
S: I think it is important. We ' re in
a catch-22 situat ion because of the
shortage of faculty. Our commitment to interdisciplinary work -that's really what it comes down to .
How do we define that? Whether we
define that as that we' re meeting that
commitment by doing collaborative
work within the arts, which is interdisciplinary, or whether to meet that
interdisciplinary commitment we
have to do specialty area programs.
We do not have the bodies to do
both and so the question is where do
we put our emphasis.. And that (the
question in the guidelines on how to
assess the direction and roles of the
area with respect to the state of goals

§P'orts
Four years later, Ben Chotzen's still number one
by Tim Quam
Number one! Whatever the sport,
it's hard to get there and it's hard to
stay ther~, Tennis player Ben
Chotzen, however, has managed to
be number one for four years at The
Evergreen State College, Chotzen
has been the Geoduck's top player
since his freshman year in 1983 ,
Chotzen said he wins because of
his determination and a never-saydie attitude, "I think (my attitude)
is an intimidating factor. I'm one of
those players like Boris Becker.
"I go for everything, Sometimes
I get there, sometimes I don't. (My
opponent) knows I'm coming after
everything and he has to hit his shots
well, I don't give up at all.
"It's true I don't have the most
graceful strokes and I don't have the
biggest serve, But, I do my best and
play with what I have.
"Tennis is like boxing, You try
and look at the person 's
weaknesses," he said as he compared the mental aspects of the two
sports. "I'm thinking about what
their weaknesses are, and how I'm
playing and what my weaknesses
are."
Chotzen said that this season he

has put strong emphasis on preparation and has realized the importance
of concentration. "A lot of things
go through your head. You try to
keep focus on your match and not
think about the noise you hear, the
friends you see, or other parts of
your life."
When asked why he has excelled
in athletics, Chotzen, the youngest
of eight chldren, pointed to his competitive nature , "Maybe part of it is
internal pressure. I wanted to stand
out. In my family it's real hard to
stand out.
"There was no pressure in my
household, at least not from my
parents. They put no pressure on me
to win , They cared, They just
weren't into sports, but it was OK
that I was. I think they were different with the older kids. The older
kids were more pressured,
"My parents were really relaxed
with me. I'd come home after a big
win and it was no big deal. If) came
home after a big loss, then it was like
'you're a winner here, We don't
care, It doesn't matter. We still love
you!' "
Chotzen attended Honolulu's
Kaiser High School and achieved a
junior tennis ranking of 12th in the

state of Hawaii .
Following his graduation 'in 1980,
he took two years off from school
and tennis.
He feels the two. years away from
the game did some good. "It was
good to stop going to school for a
while . I was burned out right after
high school, and I didn't want to go
right to college."
Chotzen said that although he
didn't come to college just for
ath letics, he would not have picked
Evergreen if the school had not had
an intercollegiate tennis program.
"Ben has the mark of a good
athlete," said coach Bob Reed. "He
knows what it takes to be competitive and he's willing to work
hard to be successful. One of the
best things about Ben is that as a
senior, he has been a fine example
for the team."
Chotzen's record is 4-3 this
season.
Teammate Jim Wood said "This
guy has got a great attitude; he's a '
leader on the team. He's a good example; he's a good player."
Chotzen summed up his commitment to tennis at this time, "It's the
biggest thing in my life for the next
month."

It was a busy week for the men's

Myra Anderson played number two

fifth and sixth spots.
"Myra, Regina, and Ann have

starting to payoff with good match
performances. The teams we have
played have been strong. Many of
the players have more competitive

starting to close the gap," said head

Track records fall at Western
by J oho Kaiser
On Saturday Western Washington
University, the defending District
One Track champs, hosted more
than a dozen colleges and several
clubs in one of the most competitive
meets of the season. It was to be a
day of racing -- a time to put all the
training to the test.
Most competitors focus on one
event and may have to wait hours to
compete. Baethan Crawford didn't
come to wait around , At I p.m . he
broke the long standing school
1500M record in a time of 4: 14 then
at 3 p.m. he lowered his 800M

record to 2:02 within range of the
great two minute barrier. Undaunted, he entered the 5K later in
the day only to find himself in pain
finishing the race more than a
minute slower than his time of a
month ago.
John Kaiser waited around all day
and then ran the 5K in a new
Geoduck record time of 15:50. Sean
Hollen had a disappointing day,
throwing the javelin only 119 feet.
Caprice Brown, running sick,
managed a 47:13 10K in what was
clearly a disappointing race for her .
Jerome Rigot, the flying Fren-

chman, sprinted on borrowed spikes
to a 13:32 100M. Rigot burned up
the track as he helplessly watched
everyone else pass him . Suzy Tveter
dashed to a 15:19 100M. Tracy
Stefan improved her 3000M time to
II :56 just minutes off world record
pace.
Expert climber Sean Meehan proved he was in shape to scale any
mountain by running another grueling 10K in sub 3S-minute time .
Franny Hearn, whose knee injuries kept her from racing, cheered
everyone on as they dashed around
the track.

with the women, the men don't seem
to be down because of their team
record, which is 4-8-1."
The men lost to Green River,
PLU, and Whitman, defeated Lewis
and Clark and tied Whitworth. "We
were competitive in all of the individual matches . Against PLU, we
were initially ahead in most of the
singles matches. Now we need to
continue developing our match
toughness. We need to improve our
spans of concentration and play
quality tennis from the first to the
last point," said Reed.

*******SPORTS IN BRIEF'********
TRACKSTERS BREAK SCHOOL RECORDS!!!!
Baethan Crawford continued his assault
on Geoduck track marks last weekend at
Western Washington University. He broke
his own 800 metre mark with 2:02 clocking.
Tracy Stefan broke her 3,000 mark with an
11 :56 time. John Kaiser ran a personal best
in the 5,000 with a 15:50 time. Laurie Selfors
had a personal best in the 200. Cheer on
those devoted Speedsters!!!
TENNIS PLAYERS TAKE ON THE BEST IN
THE WEST! The men's and women's tennis
teams cannot be accused of avoiding the
competition . Recent opponents have included
state, region and nationally ranked teams_
Heading the list was Whitman, followed by
PLU and Green River. The women did battle
with Skagit Valley, Western and Lewis and
Clark. According to coach Bob Reed, team
members are working hard and holding high
spirits, despite losses to the above teams_
"We're having a great time and improving
like crazy!!" said Reed. The next Geoduck
home clash and bash is Friday, April 18th at
2:00 against Central.

'The Great Evergreen Football Factory is Here'
by Jacob Weisman
Evergreen has a well stated and
long standing committmenl to
athletics.
Last Thursday I found Toojay
Schweitz (one of a myriad of talent
scouts that the college currently
employs) at a local high school,
checking out the hoop action. I introduced myself. He said hello and
offered me the vacant spot of
bleacher board next to his .
"See that kid down there?" he
asked me in conspiratorial whisper,
pointing to the red team's center.
"He's only six-eight, but he can play
the point as good as anyone in our
division. "
"I thought we were set with Phil
Brown running the point?" I asked

-- dreading the prospect of watching
one of my favorite players riding the
bench.
"We are," he told me, "Richardson," he indicated the tall, slender
youth, "isn't interested in playing
basketball. He wants to be a
linebacker. "
"A linebacker?" I asked .
"Yeah, he wants to stay local.
He's got a sick aunt or something.
When WSU didn't come through
with an offer he was really in a bind.
But because of our high priority to
the new football program this year,
we're able to make him a better offer than we could have in the past.
Of course, he still hasn't heard from
Oregon State yet."
"Is that right," I asked, obviously impressed.

"Well, I'll tell you," he said. "He
may be an excellent basketball prospect, but we see him filling a kind
of Ted Hendricks, roving linebacker
position. With his height and speed,
all he needs are a few extra pounds,"
he said as his eyes grew large and
watery as if he were contemplating
a seven-four, 300-pound monster
bearing down on a helpless
quarterback.
Richarason blocked a shot and
returned it for a lay-up, releasing it
only at the last moment, from two
outstretched hands, only an inch
above the cylinder. "That's what I
like about the kid," Schweitz said.
"He's unpretentious! Anyone else
would have slammed it home.
Richardson doesn't have to; he's got
class'"

I left that game with good feelings
for the Evergreen Athletic Depart-

men!. After all, Richardson had
scored 40 points, leading his team on
to victory. With our priorities set
now, it seems only a matter of time
before Evergreen becomes a winning
football power. And while it is possible for a school to place too much
emphasis on a successful sports program, somehow, I don't think
there's any reason to worry about
Evergreen.
