S&A doesn't fund van system

Welcome to the final, yes, the final edition of
the Cooper Point Journal. We're quitting: some
for the summer, some for good. At any rate,
we're blowin' this joint.
'. In spite of our best efforts, the issue we intended to be strictly fun-filled has some regular news.
However, we're sure you'll find enough fun stuff
to make it a good farewell reading.

By The S & A Board
The S&A Board has, at last, completed its
fmal allocations of student money for next
year. And while we are ecstatic the task is
over, we are dismayed that we could not
fund all of the requests we were presented
with.
Although the Board tried very hard to
minimize the number of budgets that were
not funded, we could noi"eliminite it from
occurring aftogether. One budget that was
not funded is the Evergreen van system.
The van system at Evergreen has traditionally provided service to students when
the Intercity Transit system (IT) did not.
Originally that was just on Sundays, but
this spring the van system added service
on weekdays that operated later in the
evening than IT. But, as of July 1988 (the
.ding a
month after next IT will
service called Dial-A-Ride. The Dial-A-Ride
service will pick you up where you request,
and take you downtown. Downtown there
'Will be a transfer station that will take people to Lacey. The system will bring you
back to where you were picked up, and will
cost the regular IT fare. It will operate on
evenings until 11 pm and Sundays from 9
am until 6 pm.

The Board felt the student need for affordable transportation on Sundays, and
later in the evening on weeknights, would
be met by the Dial-A-Ride service. Continuing the Evergreen van system would certainly be·a duplication of services and would
cost the stu<lents a lot of money that could
be used elsewhere.
The total amount requested by the van
system was in the neighborhood of $18,000.
Such a fJgUre is equatable With the combined budgets of MAARAV A, Women of Color, EPIC, and ' the Peace and Conflict
Resolution Center.
The Board thought that perhaps by sav-

ing $18,000 of student money from being
spent on a service that is already being provided (at no cost to students) it could be used to support student groups that enhance
the cultural diversity to the community,
promote student empowerment, and provide services designed to meet student's
needs.
If the Dial-A-Ride system proves to be
inadequate next year, the van system can
by revived by students through next year's
. Board.
We hope there are no misunderstandings
about the Board's action, and ask you to let
us know what you think.

An insightful view of Evergreen

Umoia gains from leaders conference
by Jon Cawthorne, Urrwja Co-Coordinator
Eight students from Evergreen's Umoja Society attended the African Heritage
Studies Association Conference (AHSA)
April 26-29. The eight Umoja members attended as many panels as they could and
discovered that the karma surrounding the
conference and problems of the international African community couldn't easily be
put into words.
Student Activities funded the eight
students, four women and four men, to go
to the conference held at Howard University in Washington, D.C. The eight AfricanAmerican students who attended were
Celina Lilly, Alana Jones, Tasha Lee
~assett, Heather Clark, Larry Norman,
Heiwa Liester, Ian Hagaman and Raymond
E. Schumpert. '
The-theme of-the prestigious yearly conference was "Leadership and Development
in the African World: A Pan Africanist
Perspective." The 20th Annual AHSA conference also honored Dr. John Henrick
Clarke for his achievements in history and
education; Clarke was recognized as a
scholor of African World History, professor
and the founding father of AHSA.
Black scholars from across the country
and around the world came to speak on
panels that constructively dealt with problems not only concerning the AfricanAmerican community but the African community in general. Panel discussions began
at 8 am and lasted until 10 pm that evening. Freshman Heather Clarke said,
"sometimes there were more than seven
(panel discussions) going on at once, so
there was no way the eight of us could have
covered everything."
The topics covered a wide variety of
issues and were not limited to: PanAfricanism; the legacy of Marcus Garvey;
organizing on college campuses; public
policy issues for the African-American community and cultural leadership in the national African-American community; the
economic state of African countries;
African-American feminism; nationalism
and imperialism and the political thought
of Malcom X.
In the discussion on the state of African
countries Celina Lilly understood the
African economist to be saying that "the
,(economic) problems you face in America
are the same problems the African countries are dealing with." The problems of
over spending was the African economist's

ty to listen to such powerful words. Listening to Abena Brocen, Haki Madhubuti,
Sonia Sanchez and Jeff Donaldson I found
myself being emotionally lifted. I learned
a great deal about myself and my people at
that panel, more than at anything I've ever
learned or read."
Celina Lilly also attended the Cultural
Leadership in the National AfricanAmerican Community and said, "this was
the best panel discussion because they posed problems to us and showed us how, individually, each of us could make a
difference. "
The students went there to absorb as
much knowledge as they could but found
they couldn't put it in to words. "So many
things were going on at the conference that
it is hard to explain exactly what went on,"
said Heather Clark about the way the in- ,
formation was flooded on her.
The AHSA conference was a great experience for all of the eight participants.
Their experience carne from not only attending the numerous panels but also being
around highly acclaimed African-American
politicians, writers and other AfricanAmerican students from acroSs the country.
The four women and four men were
equally grateful for the opportunity to go;
however,Larry Norman summed up their
experiences: "I had never been to an
African conference in a predominantly
African city before: my eyes were opened,
and I felt encouraged because I touched
base with my dream of being a part of a
positive growing African-American community. This has been a crucial step in my

"

by Daum Weber
Brian Hoffman is an activist at
Evergreen. He came here about two years
ag~,. but first attended the University of
Santa Cruz, which reminds him a lot of
Evergreen. He also attended a Quaker college in Indiana, but he soon discovered that
their values of community and humanity
had been shelved. In fact they even had a
' football team called the "Fighting
Quakers." ,
Brian will be graduating this June, and
plans to move to the Catskill mountains. He
would eventually like to. start his own college back East someday. However I
thought since Brian is such an interesting
and unique individual that I'd like to capture his ideas and thoughts about
Evergreen before he leaves.
On the Native American Studies
Program:-~ ,
"The Native American Studies Program is
the program that most reflects the rhetoric
that Evergreen was talking about when it
first started student-centered education.
Native American Studies is not a place to
study Native Americans, it's a place for
Native Americans to study. The way you
learn in the Native Studies program is completely different than any program here at
Evergreen. You find a faculty, and then you
answer the four questions. What do you
want to do? How do you want to do it?
What do you want to learn? What difference is it going to make?
"I did what I needed to do, I wrote up
my answers to the four questions, and that
changes every quarter as I start to tune into different things in myself, internal
motivation. External motiviation is (that)
you are handed a syll~bus that says this
week we're doing this, next week we're doing that, third week we're going to be
reading this book, a lecture is coming, it
goes on. Then you're supposed to turn a
paper in to someone else. Even if you were
doing it for yourself, it's not really for
yourself because you're turning it over to
someone.
"My first year" in Native American
Studies, I read a hundred books. That was
all books I wanted to read, that was the difference. I didn't have to read a single book
if I didn't want to. They were all books that
I've wanted to read for a long time. All of
a sudden this door was open, someone said
"you're okay, you can decide for yourself
what you need to learn. You know it, listen
to yourself and you know what you need to
learn."

"Something that fascinated me about the
Native American Studies Program was one
of the first things I learned in the program
was there's an emphasis on always thinking about your relationships. Your relationships to the land, to others, to work, and
to the unknown. And those were things I
was thinking about on my awn. These were
ideas I had already corne up with and they
were articulated in the program."
Becoming Active at Evergreen
"It was a combination of two different
things. First I started this group called the
Cedar Fund. It really bothered me in
Washington State that the very special and
sacred Cedar tree was being cut down,
every where and replaced with Douglas
Fir. So I wanted to start a little group that
would help re-seed Cedar all over, at least
Thurston County. And we did it some, and
it-worke<l,and then it fiZZled out which was
okay.

"We who are active created what
I would call 'psychic energy,' and
people pick up on that and they
become more confident with acting as well."
"Also at that same time, I was doing
another project. Everywhere I walked on
campus, everywhere I saw garbage, I
would stoop and pick it up, and people were ,
noticing it, and people would corne up and
say, 'thank you' to me. And I realized the
power of that, just picking up garbage, people like noticed when you did it. I started
putting up these little signs on campus that
would say, 'Keep Evergreen A Cleaner
Greener Environment, Pick Up Your Garbage.' Each week I'd put out a new one
with a little different saying, like 'Keep
Your Butts Off The Campus, Please Don't
Throw Cigarette Butts On The Ground.' I
actually noticed, because I walked around
campus, that things were getting cleaner."
Governance
"Gail Martin wanted to have a Governance DTF formed, and I heard about it,
and a few other people heard about it..So
the DTF formed, we met awhile, and then
I kind of drizzled out of it. I was busy with
my own things that were happening. I was
co-coordinating Inner Place, and coordinating the Environmental Resource
Center.
"I realized after awhile that there was

something wrong With (the Governance
DTF). At that time I couldn't articulate
what I didn't like about it. I'm still not sure
except it has something to do with just the
way we try to organize our society. It
comes out with what I would call, and someone may correct me, a ver.y masculine
way of thinking. A bunch of people sitting
around a table and carving out everybody's
life, writing it down and then rubber stamping it.
"Students don't have a "masculine-'type"
governance system here on campus. We
have our own way of doing things, and you
can't point at it and say that person is
responsible. We're not even sure what it's
called or how it works, but we do it; we do
what we need to do. Well the Administration didn't like this, they wanted some
group that was accountable, they wanted
a student governance system. Basically
what they were saying was I want to see
something that looks a lot like we (the Administration) look like, so that we can point
fingers, or that we can talk to your
representatives and then know what the
students want. It's a form of colonialism,
like going over to another country, another
culture, and forcing them to conform to
your ways.
Why Students Are Apathetic At
Evergften
"Several reasons, :t hey don't believe in
this governance stuff the administration
has been dumping on us. Some people
recognize that this is a fonn of colonialism,
and they don't want that type of gover:
nance system. Evergreen students have not
had a governance system for a number of
years, that's a statement that we've made.
Every other school has one and we don't,
that says something about Evergreen
students. Another reason is because this is '
an artificial community, tmn~ are Wren
care of for us. Someone vacuums the floors,
someone cleans the toilets, someone tells us
what to read, tells us what to write. We
don't have to pay electricity every month,
someone, either our parents or us, pays
$175 and we got our dorm room and it's all
set. We can shower as long as we want, and
there's entertainment, and so on. Why
would anybody want to get involved with
the community when it's being taken care
of for them? It's so disempoweringi Not
that anybody's going to volunteer to start
taking over those functions of vacuuming
and stuff, but I think a real college should
be encouraging internal motiviation and

responsiblity to the land, to others, to work,
and to the unknown, and that responsibilty comes when you're doing it. And when
you're not just flushing everything away
and not knowing where it goes. Put your
garbage out and every Thursday morning,
you come back and it's. gone. That's why
students are apathetic. They've been
taught throughout life that someone else
will take care of it for them.
Conflict
"People are always scared of conflict. Oh
my God, we can't create conflict!
Something's wrong in this room, there's
conflict. We've got to homogenize
everything, no conflicts. I feel conflict is a.
good thing ifwe learn how to deal with it,
how to use it, and how not to be so
aggressive with it. Conflict doesn't have to
be aggressive. If there's a goal for conflict,
it's to eventually resolve conflict by allowing for differences, respecting differences."
Mister
Roger's
Revolutionary
Neighborhood
"In a lot of ways, sometimes there's people in the background who are responsible
for stirring up a lot of energy. I realized I
was one of those people. Maybe it's arrogant for me to accept this responsibility,
but I feel like I was very responsible for
stirring up a lot of this campus as much as
it's stirred up now.
not a part of this
Revolutionary Neighborhood thing, but
there were a few people responsible for
getting everything as active as it is, and I
feel like I was one of them.
We who are active created what I would
call "psychic energy," and people pick up
on that and they become more confident
with acting as well. I personally don't feel
that character attacks are ever healthy.
The idea of conflict is not to create it, but
to find out where it already is and resolve
it. Character attacks create conflict, and
they're antagonistic.
I kind of believe in a feminist approach
in tenns of relationships, etc. A lot of the
people from M.R.R.N. that I talked to
would say, "you know I am too, I don't like
the part of this class that's very
aggressive. "
"Whether or not they've done something
.right or sOIl!..ethil!g wrong is besides the
}Xlint. I know that the people in that class
have learned a lot about the consequences
of their actions. They've learned a lot about
racism and sexism. Forget about what they
shouldn't have done, they've done it, and
the question is have they learned?"
The Future of Evergreen
6 "Evergreen was a dream at one time and

I'm

the dream was very, very strong. The vision was strong. The dream for the most
part has faded some. Certainly a lot of the
new students are coining here not because
of the vision, the orginial dream, they're
coming here because of the way it is now,
not the way it could be. They're satisfied
with the way it is now. I think Evergreen
is going through a period of stabilization
where it's going to become more and more

"I think a real college should be
encouraging internal motivation
and responsibility to the land, to
others, to work and to the

like the "status quo." Santa Cruz went
through the exact same thing. ~lsaw it happen, I watched Santa Cruz die. Santa Cruz
now has a fraternity. In five years we'll
have a fraternity here as well. There was
a group last year who wanted to start a
fraternity.
"The most radical thing that could happen on this campus is the building of the
Longhouse. Longhouse is a Native
American structure where ceremonies are
held and community is built. It's a place to
go to always find fire, food, and floor. It's
significant, it's very radical in a sense, but
the administration has been pawing at it for

a long time. Finally they said we could have
it, but they want us to attach it to the other
multi-purpose facility they're thinking of
building. They said maybe we could do the
building in a Native American motif. I
think that is very culturally insensitive of
thelll· I almost think that maybe the
Longhouse shouldn't be built on this campus, but if it is built, I think it's going to
be one of the more radical things that happens on this campus. However, in the end
it is not for me to decide, it's up to the Indian people.
Other than that I think Evergreen is going to fade. I ~ this school is like an old
sun that goes into supernova, we're seeing
the last burst of energy before it dies, and
then we're going to start to contract, and
then the vision will die. I remember I wrote
a poem that goes something like;
Goodbye Evergreen .
I'm leaving now
And when I come back
I know that you'll be gone too."

TOURING
TUBB&

by Suzette Williams
Two former Evergreen students recently filed suit against the College and the
State of Washington.
Lisa Marie Jones and Mary Simmerer
Lewis claim thElY were misled about
Evergreen's 3/2 Engineering program with
the University of Washington.
In the 312 Engineering program, students
spend three years at Ever~n completing
liberal arts and basic math and science requirements, then, if admitted, attend the
University of Washington School of
Engineering. After two years at the UW,
students graduate with a Bachelor of Arts
from Evergreen and a Bachelor of Science
in Engineering from the UW.
Jones and Lewis claim they were led to
believe admittance to the Ow was ·
automatic if a student was recommended
by an Evergreen faculty. In reality, a student must be recommended by a faculty
member and then be selected for admission
by a committee at the UW. Both students
were recommended for admission to the
University of Washington by Byron Youtz
in June 1985.
Lewis enrolled in the 3/2 program in Fall .
1982 and Jones transferred from Pacific
Lutheran ' University in December 1983.
They intended to enter the UW in F.all of
1985. Both claim they relied on the
language in the '85-86 Catalog, which they
say is similar to th~ '83-84 Catalog. In its
response, Evergreen denies that the
language is similar.
The i983-84 Catalog states; Evergreen
has initiateej, a pilot program with the
University of Washington college of

COMPANY

Engineering which allows students to obtain a double bachelor's degree: a BAfrom
Evergreen and a BS from the University
of Washington. This re([Uires three years
of work at Evergreen fulfilling the
humanities, social scienc£, and basiC
physical sciences requirements, and two
years at the University completing Junior
and Senior level work in one of tlw departments of the College of Engineering. Upon
successful completion of two years at the
Univer{Jity, both degrees are awarded.
This program allows an Evergreen 3~2
Engineering committee to select a limited
number of third year Evergreen students
for referral to the Admission committees
of these University of Washington
departments.
.
In the '85-86 Catalog, it states; Beginning at Evergreen, students study ·interdisciplinary liberal arts and complete afull
set of engineering preTe([U~ites and then, ~
ifrecommended by the Science, Technology
and Health faculty, transfer directly into
professiorwl programs, (junior and senior
years) in the University'8 School of
Engineering.
Lewis and Jones allege the Catalog's explanation '~supplied the terms of an implied
contract." They are suing for damages
which include: lost income and lost earning
capacity due to their unexpected rejection
and the lack of an Engineering degree, tuition increases for graduate school, emotional distress and mental suffering and
moving expenses.
Evergreen's reply says the students
knew admission was not automatic.
" ... descriptions of the 312 Engineering pro-

gram provided from various sources, including faculty advisors and brochures
clearly indicated that admission to the
University of Washington was not
automatic and that students would be referred to admissions committees at said
University for consideration."
Evergreen also says in the '83-84 Catalog
that the school "reserves the right to make
any changes in courses, programs, faculty,
calendar dates, tuition and fees, grading
policies, admission and graduation requirements, and any other information contained in thl& publication at any time
without notification."
College Legal Counsel Shawn Newman
says faculty have produced handouts given
to students saying that admission waS not
automatic.
.
Evergreen faculty Rob Knapp had Jones
and Lewis as students for a full year iJl a'
Physical Systems Program. In a handout
dated December 1982 he says, " ...admission
to the Engineering School is quite selective,
and Evergreen will only recommend
students whose 'records show that they
have an excellent chance to be admitted."(The CPJ could not determine at the
time of print if Lewis and Jones actually
received the handout.)
Jones and Lewis could not be reached for
comment, neither could Steve Scott,
Evergreen's attorney.
Newman says, "they have a difficult case
to prove." He says they were relying on a
catalog printed in '85-86, but had already
enrolled in the 312 program in 1982. He says
other students in the program h~ve
testified that they knew from several

IG.I.S.... "Thank God it's summer!" However it is also
a time when many of the students of the Evergreen
State College think about their housing needs.

Finding a suitable building site is not easy
to agree upon. "Our fIrst thought was that
it should be by the water, and that's where
a lot of the traditional buildings were built,"
said Whitener, "water was the Jru\jor mode
of transportation, and so it was convenient
to come from the water to the ceremonial
place. A lot of different fa!!tors must also
be agreed upon before construction can
,begin too, such as accessibility from the major mode of transportation we have today
which is the automobile and buses. Also the
easy access by people with handicaps and
elderly people too."

Governance:
S&A staH does good

Campbell questions new proposal
by Dave Campbell
As we all know, a proposal for Student
Governance has been submitted by James
Martin. In my four years here at Evergreen
I have witnessed several proposals shot
down for lack of student input. A few ,of the
proposals were good working documents.

Now I'm witnessing an attempt by a few
students to shove a proposal through and
it is wrong. It is wrong for several reasons
of which I will attempt to point out.
First and foremost, students were robbed of any opportunity to provide any input
into the structure. Sure, we now have an
opportunity to address the proposal-but
the structure was decided for us by James
Martin's hand picked group.
James Martin selected his own staff to
design a system of governance for us, the
student community. ~ - - - - - '
Was there any opportunity made for any
fIrst people to participate in the design or

content of the proposal? No!
Was there any opportunity for women to
participate in the design or the content of
the proposal? No!
Was there any opportunity for any conimunity input into the design or content of
the structure? No!

Dear Editor,
In the course of the past year, there have
been many issues/events which have ignited heated debate and action on this campus. The discourse, especially when concer- .
ning student autonomy, seems to have
divided into two camps. On one hand there
are those who expound the "community
myth" of Evergreen. It is the belief that
the College operates with the best interests
of the students in mind; that students here,
for the most part, determine the content
and form of their education and play an active role in determining the function of this
institution. But on the other hand, there are
those who have seen that "community" and
"collaboration" on both one way streets.
They exist only when students are ~_

the only can-do attitude employed by the

community from stundets."
Third, my concern centers around Ms.
Smith's and Ms. Gibsons's statement about

which was written "during a time when the
college was smaller, more intimate, more

. students, since the College's opening in

which drain their effectiveness. The ''progressive" focus of this institution has flipflopped into a communal totalitarianism.
Therefore, students are now exercising
their rights as citizens and as students to
protect themselves from the "humanistic,"
"try-to-be helpful spirit" of The Network
and the mandated "professional" practices
of the Counseling Center and "experts."
Students on this campus are exhibiting a
growing awareness of their lack of
autonomy and where, in fact, the power in
this institution rests. The Counseling
Center can no longer be seen as playing the
objective role of "consultant." It is part of
the administrative strangle-hold at
Evergreen. The message from students
should be made clear-The "community
myth" is dead! We will no longer be "taken
care of."

The sound of the rattling door silenced
the two men. Both looked up nervously,
wai~ing to see if the rattling was caused by
the errant wanderings of the wind or by
human means. Only when the door was
quiet did they speak.
"Tell me about it again."
The dealer sighed with impatience.
"Look, do you want the stuff or not? l
havenlt got all day."
"Yes, I want the stuff. But I want to
make sure that I'm getting the best possible stuff. After all,it's my body we're playing with here." The man settled himself
deeper into the chair.
"Okay, from the beginning," the dealer
sai,d.~I-went-to check- out-the-supp1rearly, while they were still setting up the
crops. The fields are' hidden in the back
country, so that if you don't know where
they are you won't find them. The greener
the fields the better the crop will be. This
year the-fields were the greenest I've ever
seen.
"After about three months the crop was
tall enough to be harvested. It's dangerous
harvesting the crop, and . the harvesters
have a tough time of it. They have to watch
for bandits, predators; and officials. Occasionally one of them gets murdered, literally butchered! The owners see the murders
as a sacrifice for profit. Some of the
harvesters. get so nervous that they sleep
standing up, and they make sure there is
at least one who' keeps watch. They only
have a month to get it all harvested so they
have work fast.
"After the crop is harvested it is
chemically processed. The chemical processing is divided into two stages. The first
stage is the most dangerous. It's
thoroughly ground, soaked in at least four
acid baths and then chemically purified.
Sometimes the processing produces gas and
the crop explodes. But if everything goes
well an extract from the crop is passed on
to the second stage.

The man nodded. Both men looked at

his face and walked out of the house quickly with the stuff under his coat, afraid to

was getting too old for this kind of kid stuff,

But he had to try it once, to see if it was
as good as his friends had said it was.
When he got home he put the stuff in his
refrigerator so that he could savor it at a
later time. The niglit was well advanced
before he felt bold enough to try it. He
reached into the cabinet and brought out
a small sauce pan. He poured the stuff into
the sauce pan and put it on the stove to
heat. He remembered the dealer saying
that spices could enhance the effects, so he
sprinkled a dark powder on top. The smell
rose through the kitchen, bringing back
memories of an earlier, simpler time. Finally the stuff was ready. He got out a thick
mug and poured the stuff into it. He held
the mug close for a moment feeling the

Greener entrepeneur fulfills dream

A day In the life of a greener

by Suzette Williams

"I, like, never thought I'd tind a place
where I could fultill my dreams and get
credit for it too!"
Ah yes, the ecstatic words of a true
Greener. In this case, it's Hashish Patchouli
(fonnerly Maynard Slazinowski). Patchouli
has always had a dream, always been
misunderstood. It wasn't until he came to
Evergreen that he truly tit in.
"I was like, at the U, you know, and all
the frat rats thought my crystals were just,
like, bogus," he says. "But here 1 can, like,
design what I've always sort of thought was
in the stars for me;
caterpillar
clothing."
Patchouli says he heard a message from
Fuzzy, the tent caterpillar God, last Spring
when the tiny creatures were trying to take
over the capitol (a story in itself).
"I was, like, out at the soccer field, just
reveling in my aura and holding some fungi,
when this voice piped up from a mushroom
in my hand," says Patchouli. "It said, 'hey
brother, peace!' and I was like just trippin'
man, I mean 1 thought it was a talking
'shroom!"
Patchouli says he then realized it was
Fuzzy, the tent caterpillar God. He told
Patchouli to go out and convert Greeners
to the Great Orange God. Well, according
to Patchouli, this "totally like, freaked me
out," and he ran from the field yelling
"secular humanism, student autonomy,
community, self determinism!" His friends
merely cheered him on, says Patchouli,
"they just, like, thought 1 had a bad trip."

After repeated attempts, Fuzzy could not
be contacted to substantiate Patchouli's account. His agent said he was "in the
Bahamas working on a script called Encounters With a Hippie Demon. "Contract
negotiations are underway with MGM
Studios.
"I was just, like, totally pissed off, 1
mean, last year 1 took 'Health, Religion and
Group Sex,' and 1 know nobody can tell me
who to worship," says Patchouli. "I don't,
like, believe in converts, man!" Therefore,
says Patchouli, he decided to seek revenge
and fultil a lifelong dream all at once. He
decided to design tent cate,rpillar clothing.
Why tent caterpillars? "Well, I've always
had this sense of, like, revulsion every time
1 see one of those fuzzy little muthers," Patchouli says. "I've also just always wanted
to design a line of natural clothing, so after ,
that Fuzzy thing, it all just, like, came
togther, man."
After many hours of meditation and
moral wrestling, Patchouli decided not to
make his Clothings from caterpillars that only die naturally. "At first," he says, "I just
couldn't bring myself to kill one to sew my
first t-shirt. But then I figured this would
save so many Greeners a lot of money on
buying dye for tie dye thatI could murder
the little scum ba-uh beautiful life fonns,"
he says sweetly. "Plus, all I have to do is
remind myself of that convert thing and 1
get totally pissed, 1 mean I feel like
Rambo."

Patchouli started with just one t-shirt
while in an individual contract with a faculty member who wishes to remain
anonymous. He now is showing a fall line
in Paris and has clothing orders from the
Royal Family in Britain. He is taking time
out from sewing to sell his furry fashions
Super Saturday.
Among his wares are the traditional
Greener tye dye t-shirts; but without the
dye. Since the catei"pillers are naturally
brightly colored, Patchouli weaves the skins
into a design that resembles a tye dye. He
says he will custom design shirts for a
nominal fee.
Patchouli also seels long, flowing skirts,
heavy knit socks and loose tank tops. "I
don't, like, make underWear or bras or any
of th~t shit," he _says,-"because I don't
believe in it-they trap your aura."
He will have a wardrobe consultant at his
booth on Super Saturday, to assist
Greeners with wardrobe planning. "This
isn't like, a casual thing, you know," says
Patchouli, "so bring your Birkenstocks, and
'Shroom (also an Evergreen Alumni) will
help you plan your summer wear."
Asked if there was any validity to the
rurrwrs that FU?:zy the caterpillar God
might · be manning a "S.hrinks and
Wizards" booth at Super Saturday, PatchouIl seemed shocked. He loo'ked around
furtively and said, "well, if that little slimy
bast-uh, beautiful life fonn tries anything,
I'll get the Campus Fascist Youth Alliance
to burn him out."

------Go plaCidly amid .the noise & haste, & remember what peace there
may be ,in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good
terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen
to others, even thedull -& ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with. others, you may become vain & bitter;
for always there will be greater & 'lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real
possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your
business affiars; for the world is full ·of trickery. But let this not blind
ou to what virtue 't here is; many persons strive for high ideals; and
everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourselL-Especially, do not feign affection. Neither cynical about
love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is perennial
as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the
things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden
niisfortune. But C!O riot distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears
are born of fatigue & loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be
gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & the stars;
you have a right t9 be here. And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe .in unfplding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to

of life keep peace with your 'soul.
With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful
world. Be careful.' Strive to be happy.

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO: Unofficial
sources reported that 500 hundred gallons
of toxic waste had been buried in the earth
that is now being dug up to make room for
the new CRC (hence the stench).
Rumor had it that the waste had been left
there by the F .B.1. when the campus was
being built. According to reports, the
waste, when uncovered, would cause good
liberals to mindlessly hurl accusations at
each other, thereby causing chaos and turmoil and, eventually, Evergreen's collapse.
One administrator commented recently
on the F.B.1. plot, saying, "It was a good
idea, but they underestimated our capacity and desire to accept blame. It's about
time, though-I've seen.too much debate on
this campus in past years and not enough
guilt. "

do the appropriate thing if there is any
violation of the law. I'm tired.of people out
there thinking they can do what they want.
Evergreen is not a sanctuary."
When asked about the report that the
undercover agents invovled had been seen
drinking in their automobile before the arrests, Redmond said, "It doesn't make any
difference. Were you there? Neither was
I...they were doing their job~"
That loveable gang that has been marooned so long on so-called "Gilligan's Island,"
was rescued this week and was asked to
speak at Evergreen~s graduation
ceremonies. Gilligan said yes. Skipper hit .
him over the head with his hat and said that
they were going to set sa~ that day for a
three-hour tour. Gilligan said, "Gee, Skipper." Skipper, putting his hat back on with
a sarcastic smile, said, "Yes, little buddy?"
Gilligan had not further comment.

sponsors made a fortune.
There was no food, of course, because the
vendors all ate it themselves when they
learned that nobody had any money. A free
bread line and a bobbing-for-apples booth
were set up in the afternoon, though. Some
didn't enjoy the festival and committed
suicide by jumping off of the clock tower;
others simply drifted about campus in
search of something to do. When asked to
comment on the whole thing one student
said, "I don't know, I like to try and feel
the suffering of others-it makes you more
real, you know? I think I've learned a lot

Another student simply said, "Far out."

Despite rumors of hindrance and hassle,
the 1988 Evergreen Cassette Project arrived last Friday on the back loading dock of
~the Library, just in from mastering and
reproduction in Vancouver, B.C.
Adam Kasper, producer, regrets that
"the funds just weren't there" to press the
album on vinyl. As it stands, the Project
must sell 170 copies at $5 apiece to break
even. The chosen design, though, is high
quality, chromium dioxide in clear shell
with fold-out lyrics and liner notes.
Artists featured are as follows: Th~ Herd
of Turtles, Mitchell Skye, Don Brown,
Robert Peterson, Lee Pence, Wade Pistole,
Rick DoussettelPatrick Padovan, Barbara
Zelano and Geoffrey Schmid.
Sales will be conducted through the
bookstore and Project staff. A booth will
be set up in the 2nd floor CAB where
Kasper will be armed with a stereo and
tapes for sale.
Any cassette sale will be a boon to the
possibility of future album projects. "Past
albums have suffered so badly in the sales
department that convincing faculty and
staff to support another has been the major problem this time," says Kasper, a
senior, who has taken the entire financial
burden upon himself to continue the existence of a project of this kind.
Is an album project something we want
to continue?

Evergreen challenges physically chaliengecJ
by Janis Byrd

Keith Krasovec, coordinator of Students
with Challenges, sees his most important
job as making sure the community gets to
know who his constituency is.
"I want people to know something (about
students with challenges) beyond what they
have been brought up to know as stereo
types or indoctrinations.
Everyone has prejudices of some sort,
Krasovec even admits to a few, but that
doesn't mean he's not working on learning
new ways of thinking about folks.
When Krasovec became coordinator of
the group last September one of the fIrst
changes he made was giving the group their
new name. Gone forever are names that
sound like handicapped or disabled.
"If you just work on different things that
change you attitude," he smiled, "you'll be

making progress. You don't have to run up
and hug someone, but you can say hi!"
This year, and probably next, Krasovec's
major campaign will be to bring to light the
community's insensitivity to the physical
requirements of physically challenged
students. Mainly, he said, it's a matter of
accessibility. "The accessibility on this campus is very poor.
"Evergreen strives to create an image of
a supporting atmosphere to enable physical- ·
ly and sensory challenged students to pursue their college goals. It (the college) is
saying the atmosphere here is better then .
at other places, and one of the reasons it
is is because it provides accessibility."
But, he charged, the image is false. The
college says it's going out of its way to provide for physically challenged studer:tts.
"What it really means is there is no Jim

Caterings To The Imagination

/

Crow law or organization; there's no
segregation.
One example, Krasov:ec talked about was
that not all of Evergreen's elevators are
coded with brail, and some are coded with
brail outside near the door, but for some
reason, there's no brail inside for a blind
community member to use to select a floor.
Still others have brail for some of the floors,
but not all of them.
Though he laughed, Krasovec isn't really tickled by the no~ion that perhaps blind
people aren't welcome on certain floors.
"Why is this," he speculated. "Is it to instill a sense of adventure?"
He ·also has a complaint about the autolift in the CAB basement. He says this lift
if especially for people in wheel chairs.
However, you need to have a key to operate
it, and, he explained, not everyone in a

Vandals are showing no respect
by Michael Lane and
Janis Byrd
Last year's senior gift, the house-pole for
the coming Long House, has been defaced.
This is just one more in a string of vandalistic acts perpetrated against the
Evergreen Indian Center, and thus, the
Evergreen community.
The two most recent acts have not just
been the "normal" destruction vandals
undertake-they have been sexually
oriented.
A group from the Evergreen Indian
Center noticed the defacement of the housepole day before yesterday. What the group
found was that someone had drawn
testacIes on the pole, Michael Lane said.
- During Indian Heritage Week someone
took it upon themself to deface a picture of
the Welcome Pole that was outside the of- .
flce of the Native American Studies' program secretary's office. Two posters were
also stolen.
.
The vandal or vandals drew nipples and
a vagina on the Welcome Pole photo and
, then stabbed a hole in the vagina with a
thumb tack. This is a disgusting act of symbolic violence, Lane added.
. The actual 'Yelcome Pole is continually
m need of repatr too. The drumstick the Indian woman is holding seems to be of great
interest. to destructors.
These acts, Lane sees as being connected
to other.racist ~d sexist incidents that he's
seen an.d heard about elsewhere on campus.
Inp~lcular, Lane cites the photo replacement m the S&A office.
"These'incidents," Lane said, "reflects a .
deep rooted societal' racism .... The
perpetrators ' might 'not even be totally
aware of their, own racism. That does not
ho~ever: absolve then:t or responsibility fo;
theIr actIons. There are many who have the
same ingrained racism who acknowledge it
and face it down. They do not cross the
· " '
1me.
Lane feels that these acts show a general
disrespect for cultural differences. .
"If we are different," he explained, "people say something is wrong instead of
respecting our differences. We should not
all ~ve to be the same. We should respect
the dift'erences and be proud. We should not
have to be conforming to some universaI
ideas."

wheel chair is able to use a key. The school
isn't able to change that because it's a
legislative requirement.
"Here's a case," he laughed again saying,
"where people invent something that looks
pretty good, but when it comes down to it,
it doesn't work. Why not a push button?"
There's another problem with wheI:e the
lift is that's also of concern. He said the lift
is in such an out of the way place, and with
no communicating access, that a person
could tip over in a chair, and perhaps be
stuck there for hours.
"I can imagine that would be a real crimp
in your day."
Of particular nuisance to Krasovec
though is in the library basement. Students
with Challenges have a bulletin board set
up for communications with each other.
However, if you are in a wheel chair you
can't get to the board because the school
has a cigarrette machine in front of it.-· ·
Krasoveck said he's been trying to get
some of these things changed, and he said
the Affirmative Action department has
been notified, but nothing seems to change.
"I'm too smart a person to keep getting
my hopes up. Change isn't going.to happen
too quickly here."

S&A floats governance proposal
by S & A Board
The S&A Board has adopted a working
draft proposal for an interim student
governance structure.
The Board is currently seeking interested
students to serve on a committee to carry
out this revision, and is particularly concerned that a broad spectrum of students,
including students of color and women, be
involved.
A summary of the proposal and a list of
questions that have been raised about the
proposal have been distributed to all student groups. S&A would appreciate comments, criticisms and suggestions for
improvement.
The S&A Board has scheduled discussions about student governance on
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7 pm in the
stafffaculty lounge in the CAB. In addition,
members of the Board are available to come
discuss this issue with your group. Feel free
to invite any of the Board members to your
next meeting.
This proposal will be re-written and comments and criticisms will be incorporated.
over the summer. For , this summer, the

June 2, 1988
June 2. 1988

various governance proposals and to affirm
a "permanent" governance system through
a referendum vote will be carried on concurrently with the operation of the interim
system.
There is a tentative plan to hold a student
governance day early in fall quarter to address issues of student governance and to
discuss various governance proposals.
There would then be a vote held to determine what students like and dislike about
the various proposals. The outcome of this
vote would be used to develop one or more
governance proposals during winter
quarter before holding a final referendum.
The proposal chosen by students
would.
.
begin to be implemented in the spring, and
would replace the interim structure.
Students need a voice in campus decisions, and the Board hopes this process will
provide us with one. Again; please make
cornrilents and suggestions about this proposal. You can put your written comments
in the governance box placed in CAB 305,
the Services and Activities office. A more
specific timeline is also available there.
Your input is needed.

S&A Board is hoping to find interested
students for the revision committee and we
are seekinJ to hire summer staff to provide
research and clerical support. If you would
like to serve on the committee or on the
summer staff, please contact the S&A office or the Student Communications
Center.
Meetings of the committee will be
publicized and all students are invited to attend. If you would like to be kept informed
of the meeting schedule, please call the
S&A office and leave your name and summer address.
The S&A Board is tentatively recommending the revised proposal be presented to
the Board of Trustees at its October
meeting for implementation next Fall. This
structure would be in place for one year,
after which time it would be replaced with
a system affirmed through a ' vote ' of the
students. We hope that the interim structure will give students the opportunity to
experiment with governance and to
evaluate various prdPosals against their experience with this system.

Art studio is
being built
by Suzette Williams
When art students return to Evergreen
next year, they'll be one step closer to new
facilities. Construction began May 16 on
Lab Annex Phase II Art Studios, which will
house improved facilities for individuals and
classes.It should be complete by December
1, 1988.
The project will cost $1,222,000. The
funds were allocated from the legislature
in 1987. Director of Facilities Ken Jacob
says he thinks the existing square footage
. of the art studios in Lab I is 5,100 square
feet, and the new annex will be 10,740
square feet.

Yet 'a nother construction project.

Yes, it's time for the long-awaited
premiere of this student project. As the
movie begins, a young girl is confronted
with a world of insanity, violence and
technology from her carefree, childlike life.
Through each experience, unforgetable
characters pave the way for her journey.
Starring in Gloria Mundi are: Kristen
Elliott, Dan Kass, Frank Hardisty, Jenny
Strauss, Jeremy Morrison, Chrystya
Johnson, Tom Naught, Andy'John and Rod
Hearne.
The presentation will feature four-way
viewing and stereo sound. Be sure to be
there on Tuesday June 7 at 8 pm in the
Communications Building, Room 110.
Refreshments might be provided. The best
part is that it's entirely free.

In a memo to the campus community, Jacob
asks for no visitors to the site unless it has
been scheduled with the facilities office. The
Lab Annex will be accesible from the Lab
I loading dock and from the Lab I North
area, but not from the Lab I bridge entry
or from the Parking Lot B service road.
Jacob's memo says all large cedars
removed from the construction site will be
saved for the construction of the Longhouse
and topsoil will be used to enlarge a campus recreation field. Fill from the CRC
Phase II project is also being used for this
purpose.

A planning committee was responsible for
decisions on the design of the facility, and
was the real push behind getting funding
for the project, says Jacob. Art faculty were
involved with the committee. "What this
is going to do for art students and faculty
is just incredible," Jacob says.

One hears a lot of talk these days about
due process at Evergreen. As a past victim of Evergreen's abuses of law, I can
relate to those who are currently speaking
out against Evergreen's dark side. Due process has never been a part of the Evergreen
way of doing things.
When I first came to Evergreen fourteen
years ago, I quickly found out that
Evergreen was not what it claimed it ws.
But it was not until winter quarter 1976
that I truly first became a victim of
Evergreen's abuse of process.
After completing work on the
Autobiography Coordinated Studies program offall quarter 1975, I became involved with the same faculty member, in the
Biography Group Contract for winter
quarter.
Just two weeks into the quarter I was
told that my credit for fall quarter was not
going to be awarded until I did some additional work. Needless to say, this led to a
conflict between myself and the faculty that
resulted in my banishment from contract
activities just three ,weeks before the
quartet's end.
I never handed in the ·blackllUj.iled work,
and was awarded the fall quarter's credit
only after I was kicked out of the Biography
contract for allegedly violating the terms
of that contract.
I attempted to resolve the conflict
through the mediation and grievance pro- .
cess, but quickly ran into the stonewall of
faculty solidarity. So insted of becoming an
Evergreen graduate in June of 1976, I left
the school embit~red, determined to flght
back and to remain true to the traditions
of Evergreen rhetoric calling myself
Evergreen non-graduate.
The following year, my situation became
one of Ken Jacob's first cases as college adjudicator. In spite of the fact that he received several phone calls (callers remain undisclosed) urging him not to listen to my
complaints, he investigated my case.
Mter his investigation, Jacob determined that my fall quarter credit had been
withheld for over three months without
cause, and that the faculty, not I, had
violated the terms of the winter quarter
contract.
Sometime during the next six month's I
was fuullly awarded half a quarter's credit
for winter 1976 in an ~dated, negatively
worded evaluation with a rubber-stamped
signataure of dean Will I{urnphl'eys. (The
faculty member I had been contracted with
had left Evergreen by this, time.)

an

It was a case of too little, too late. I was
still an Evergreen non~graduate and
without the degree I was unable to ' fmd
employment that paid me enough to repay
my student loans. I attempted to return to
school several tin:tes (fall and winter of
1978-7~ and 1979-80) but was denied the
right to even apply for financial aid because
I had nQt earned enough credit during my
previous time at Evergreen. (At one point
I had been awarded a national student aid
grant, but was unable to take advantage of
it because Evergreen wouldn't re-admit
me.)
Then, in 1980, Evergreen fIled suit
against me for defaulted student loans.
I did not have the money to hire an attorney, so I stood up to Evergreen's suit
as a pro se and fIled a counter-suit against
the school charging them with violations of
our contractual agreement. I charged them
with breaking a contractual agreement between a faculty member and I for academic
credit which the school refused to adhere
to.
Thus began my experiences with
Evergreen's legal staff, beginning with
Assistant Attorney G.eneral Richard
Montecucco. Montecucco was legal counsel
for Evergreen at the time.
I knew that Evergreen's academic corruption was bad enough, but I quickly
learned that Evergreen's legal corruption
was far worse.
Montecucco's defense of Evergreen's contractual violations was one of stonewalling
and lies. He claimed that the faculty
member who withheld the credit had done
so because of incomplete work and that
there were supporting documents to prove it. .When Montecucco filed court
documents that lied about the fmdings of
Jacob's adjudication, I busted him with a
contempt of court citation. He, acting in
Evergreen's behalf, finally admitted that
there were no supporting documents of incomplete work; however, the admission only came after sanctions were threatened.
Of course, I ultimately lost the case when
on September 2:7, 1982 Montecucco succeeded in getting the action transferred to
another judge, one who had been given his
judgeship by Governor Dan Evans and who
thought that a citizen standing pro se was
the worse kind of scab labor. The new
judge, Judge Morrison (formerly of the Attorney General's Office) threw the case out
in 43 minutes.
Eventually I got a job as a clerk for the
City of Tacoma and began making
payments on the judgment. But, in 1984 I

lost the job when I was attempting to
represent co-workers to the Public Utility
. Board concerning safety conditions at
Tacoma City Light.
>
After losing the job, I was unable to make '
the payments and therefore gave
Montecucco his chance for taking his.
revenge against me for busting him with
the earlier-mentioned contempt of court,::
His method was abuse of process, his toof
was then Assistant Attorney Generar
Shawn Newman.
In late 1985, Montecucco and Newman .
started a procedure against me known as
Supplemental Proceedings. They notified
me of their intentions to subpoena me intq
Judge Morrison's court by ce~ified letter.
But rather than use a process server til
serve the subpoena OTt me in person, as re~
quired by law, they supposedly sent the·
subpoena by regular first class mail.
Of course, I never received the subpoena,
and did not show for the hearing. On a Se"
cond occasion, they allegedly tried to serve
me again using the Pierce County Sheriff;'
but that "effort" failed when they couldn'~
provide the sheriff with my address.
Again I did not show up for a supplemeJ(
tal proceeding; one for which I had not bee~
subpoenaed for.
<
Then Newman went to the judge, and;:
with the judge's assistance, fIled contempt
of court citations against my mother and f'
for "conspiracy to avoid process." I was
again not served with a subpoena, but they
did serve a subpoena on my mother.
Since Evergreen was taking my mother ·
hostage, I did attend the contempt hearing,
where the charges against my mother were
dropped, only after I agreed (more rather
than less against my will) to be sworn in for
the supplemental proceedings.
There was never a contempt of court
hearing conducted, the charges were never
dropped against me, nor has it be~n mentioned again.
I t is not without mixed feelings that I
have returned to Evergreen to finish the
few remaining credits needed to make my
transition from Evergreen non-graduate to
Evergreen graduate. Evergreen in still a
place of conflict, backbiting, and harassment of students who displease those who ·
have power to abuse. But that is not to say
there are not people here who are honest
and deplore the school's abuse of due process. But this. is a school supported by the
citizens of tne ·State of Washington and
there is no place here for admitted liars and
judicial terrorists.

Some people get up in the morning bright
eyed and bushy tailed. Alert, ready to face
anything. By the afternoon they are dragging their heels.
Other people have to drag themselves out
of bed. In a zombied state, their bodies go
throughout the mornings, their minds still
asleep. But by the afternoon, their minds
are awake and ready to face anything.
. In college counseling is always scheduled for mornings. For whom is this the best
time to get special help? The Lark is all set ,
up for the morning, but what about the
Owl? When can the Owl learn, grasp, get
ahead, if it is always forced to live in a
Lark's world. With today's technology and
many people having to work around the
clock, could not the scheduling be
sometimes adjusted to consider the poor
Owl?
