Working On the CPJ is not my ideo of paradise,
particularly knowing I won't go to bed before
7 :00 this morning. As usual, the printer didn't
work right, the layout was fussy, the typesetter
tried to eat my document, a 10 minute·print job
turned out blank, and all of the other colamaties
and screwopsthat go on at production night.
' But as I' made 'what I now know was my
second-to-the-Iost crossing from Graphics to the
CAB at 4:30 this morning, printed h&adlines in
hand, I heard the first birds singing. Mind you,
these weren't just ordinary songs. These birds
were in full voice-I mean to tell you-these birds
',
were loud:
It's quiet at this time of night. Almost everyone
is asleep. Even the dogs are gone to whatever
doggie haunts they inhabit at night. Life is still,
waiting for the day. All except for those noisy
birds. It's a good thing there aren't any roosters
on this campus, especially near the dorms. Otherwise there would be a lot of clandestine chicken
soup.
When I start feeling lonely this morning, I'll
think ~bout th.ose. birds. It/~ ~ice to know
something else IS alive, proclalmmg at the tops
of their lungs that they are vibrant with love and
life and excited about being here.
Hope you enjoy this issue of the CPJ.

Fonner Evergreen student Lee Roy
Unterseher filed a lawsuit May 5 accusing
the college of forcing him to take anti,psychotic drugs in order to stay in school.
College Legal Counsel Shawn Newman
says Unterseher exhibited disruptive
behavior and was diagnosed by Counseling
Center f.sychologist Kathleen O'Shaunessy
as psychotic.
Unterseher's suit alleges that the Network "acted without official authority
under the Washington Administrative Code
or the Revised Code of Washington, but
under the color of the ~uthority of their offices at TESC." It states that there was no
opportunity for an appeal, and that no due
process was followed. It also says "the
group (N etwork) conspired to deprive (the
troublemakerS) of their opportunity to continue with their education.
The Network was a group composed of
security, housing, and members ,o f the administration. They met to discuss students
they deemed potentially- " dangerous." Unterseher says that O'Shaunessy p nly
examined him for "a half hour or an hour"
before making the diagnosis. He also said
the M.D. on contract with the college, Dr.
Robert Billings, did not perform a thorough
examination before prescribing antipsychotic medication. Unterseher says that
Billings' exam was a "five minute, three or
four question thing before he prescribed
medication." Billings was not available for
comment.
_Unterseher says he he was watched by
members of the now-defunct Network
without his kJ,lowledge. They said he was
disruptive and violated the SOcial Contract.
He says Campus Adjudicator Richard
Jones told him'there were complaints that
"said I was bizarre." He was then told by
Jones to seek counseling or he would be
disenrolled
Counsel Shawn Newman says he has
complaints about Unterseher from staff,
faculty and students. Unterseher says he
was never told of any specific complaints
against him, aside from someone seeing him
eating napkins.
Unterseher then saw O'Shaunessy,
because, he says, "I really wanted to stay
in school at that time." He continued to see
O'Shaunessy after he was disenrolled from
Evergreen in May 1985. Newman cites this
as evidence that Unterseher was not given
drugs under duress. Unterseher says he
kept seeing O'Shaunessy because he was
on medication and couldn't just stop treatment. After he was disenrolled from

Untersie her says ·he was incapacitated
.....,....
.
Evergreen, Unterseher attended South
Puget Community College and is now in the
Army stationed at Fort Lewis.
Although Newman says Unterseher's
behavior improved while taking the medication, Unterseher disagrees. "I think while
I was on that stuff I could not think for
myself. I couldn't move, I couldn't even
physically write. I couln't think, move or
function," he says, "all it did was mcapacitate me."
Paul Westmoreland, a member of
SACRED (Student Alliance for Counstitutiona! Rights and Equal Determinism)
agrees that Unterseher got worse after taking medication. "He got worse, he couldn't
even walk or talk, he had spastic neck, he
was a mess," says Westmoreland.
Unterseher says O'Shaunessay's
diagnosis was not valid. "I've had two
subsequent psychiatric evaluations, one for
the military, and both disproved her
analysis," he says.
__..Although he djd not--kno-w-Unte~her-- while he was at Evergreen, Westmoreland
says he remembers seeing Unterseher
around campus. Later, he says, he saw
Unterseher getting on a bus and says he
could barely w~lk. He says he remembers
wonderirig if Unterseher had Cerebal
Palsy.
.
Westmoreland and Unterseher both deny
Newman's charges that SACRED "orchestrated" the lawsuit. "They only inspired it basically," Unterseher says, "they
/
were intent on getting something off the
ground."
Westmoreland and fellow SACRED
member David Koeninghave limited power
of attorney over Unterseher. He says this
is because he was stationed at Fort Drum
in New York until this March, and this
enabled them to get records for him while
he was away.
"If I'm sent away, they can act on my
behalf," says Unterseher.
Newman says the lawsuit "doesn't have
any merits in fact," and that the college considers it harassment suit. Westmoreland
however, says "we are not in the busmess
of harassing the school, we're fighting
injustice."
"I just wish that they'd stop hurtingpeopIe," Westmoreland says. "I would say that
there are times that the Network bas
helped people, but at the same time there
are many more people that were hurt by
the Network,"
- -Gail-Mar-tin,.-V-ice-Fl'esident-fo!L StudentAffairs, was a member of the Network
when Unterseher was disenrolled. She says
that Unterseher was told he could appeal
the disenrollment decision through her, but
says he never sought an appeal.
. Unterseher says, "I was never told of any
appeal whatsoever until I was finally told
to leave." He says Martin "conveyed the
attitude that any appeal I would make
would not do any good."
Trustees extend ,deadline
...
by Philip Bransford
Acting on the recommendation of Joe
Olander and the President's Advisory
Board (p AB), the Board of Trustees decided to extend the deadline for the Grievance
and Appeals DTF yesterday concerning
their proposal for a more explicit grievance
process and Evergreen.
"I'm a little concerned that it's late," said
Board ' member Dick Page, who also expressed appreciation for all the work that
the DTF has done up to this point.
When asked why the IYI'F was running
late, DTF Member Charles McMann
responded, "There was a lot of work to be
done. We had to discuss a lot of things in
a few weeks. My guess is that we're just
about ready to go right now."
McCann added that more discussion and
typing will probably be needed before the
~
I....
proposal would be ready for the next
meeting of the Board of Trustees on J\Dle 8.
Part of the work the DTf has been concentrating on involves an opinion survey
which was circulated throughout the
Evergreen community earlier this quarter.
According to DTF member Joh Holz, the
DTF's proposal generally corresponds to
the opinions represented in the survey's
results.
"The student, staff and faculty reactions
were remarkably similar," said McCann. "I
think that that surprised me."
When asked what he thought this said
about the nature of the Evergreen community, McCann responded: 'We all have
some notion that we're in the same place.
The notion that people can do what they
came here to do."

busy," he said.
The pUI'p()se of the Sierra Club, according
to its mission statement, is to "explore, enjoy and protect the wild places of the earth;
to practice and promote responsible use of
the earth's ecosystem and resources; to

out these objectives."

PALO ALTO (May 14) Nine different student organizations, including international
and C8lifomia-based student groups met on
Saturday to ratify the fl1'8t national Bill of
Rights for studeJlts. Speaking outdoors
under balmy California skies, the Rev.
. Jesse Jackson addressed a sea of supporters
which o,·erflQwed·from Stanford's quads onto university lawns and beyond.
''This is my diploma," Jackson told the
crowd, holding up a draft 9f the bill of
rights. An overwhelming reaction from
8,000 cheering students and a rainbow of
faces made it clear that this was Jackson
country. John Dukakis, son of presidential
candidate Mike Dukakis, received polite attention from the audience, but at one point
during his speech the spectators broke in~
to chants of Jess-e! Jess-e!
The conference was organized and
facilitated by people of color. Three student
otganizationS planned and hosted the
conference-MEChA (MovimieIito Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan), A/BSSA
(African/B1ack Student Statewide Alliance),
and A/PSU (AsianlPacifi~ Islander Student
Union.)
Student organizers of the conference
agreed to. the election-year counterpoint in
order to insure they received publicity. But
the main agenda for the conference planners was to 'make specific points about the
type 'Of change that is needed in higher
education.
According to conference literature,
Secretary of Edu~tion William Bennett
"has conducted a seven-year campaign of
'educational violence,'" which has resulted
in a 26 per,cent cut in federal spending on
education. Bennett seeks tax credits for
private schools "that consciously
discriminate one the basis of race ... Reagan
and Bennett seek to implement a right wing
agenda designed to return America to the
'good old days' when minorities 'knew their
place,' when women were in the kitchen,
and when higher education was exclusively reserved for the sons and daughters of
the .privileged." " .
Jackson echoed these criticisms, saying
it was short-term thinking not to spend
funds for universal access to higher education, but paradoxically support the $50,000
a year cost of keeping a person in prison.
Other speakers aUbe conference blasted
legislation establishing an "English-only"
policy in public schools, and recalled a recent march on Sacramento by thousands of
students demanding student rights and stuP
dent empowerment. Several California
groups spoke who oppose that state's
equivalent of the Master Plan for Higher
Education.
Last month at Stanford, after a long
debate in the University Senate, the school
voted
to change its "core"
humanities
.
,
course, which is required for all entering
stUdents, from an extremely traditional
"Western Culture Program" to a
multicultural curriculum entitled "Culture,
Ideas and Value."
'
Secretary of Education Bennett made
headlines when he publicly attacked the
change, accusing students of pressuring
Stanford for curriculum reform. According
to ~usan Perry, dean of the Stanford
Library and former dean of Evergreen's
Library, the multicultural curriculum
originated with Stanford faculty.
The bill of rights contains ten points:
(1) Make education a national priority, on
par with defense.
(2) There must be equal opportunity in
the schools, including a funding structure
which is equalized between districts.
(3) Schools must be environments which encourag~ learning.
(4) Invest in teachers, giving them decent
working conditions and pay.
(5) Bilingual1bicultural education must be
'continued, and cultural diversity protected.
(6) There must be fair and equal access
to higher education, including improvements to admissions policies and
fmandal .aid.
(7) There must be 'improvement j!l student services, including tutoring and
counseling in all schools to improve
retention.
(8YTransform the curriculum, with an em. phasis on many cultures and diversity.
Ethnic studies, ethnic history, and women's
studies must be available at every level.
(9)There must be representation and accountability to the community in decision
making. Boards of Trustees and school
boards must be directly ~crcountable to
students and parents.
(10) The schools must better serve nontraditional students, with improvements to
child-care, flexible library hours, and adequate educational counselling.
Besides MEChA, AlBSSA, and AlPSU,
conference organizers' affiliated organizations included UCSA (University of California Student Association,) CSSA (California
Statewide Student Association,) CalSACC
(California Stud,ent Association of Community Colleges,) USSA (United States
Student Association,) The USSA National
. People of Color Student Coalition, and
CAPSA (California Alliance of Progressive
Student Activists.)
S&A, can they
get it together?
by Suzette Williams
The Services and Activities Board recently sent memos to the Peace and Conflict.'
Resolution Center and the Evergreen
Political Information Center asking them
to submit a budget combining the two
organizations.
EPIC Coordinator Maria Gudaitis says
she received the memo last Tuesday and
was asked to have a budget ready by Monday May 16. She says the groups were not
consulted about the possibilit~ of combining, and the fJJ'8t she heard of it was when
she received the memo. According to
Gudaitis, the memo only said "please submit (a budget.)" It did not explain why the
board was taking the action or ask for any
input, she says.
S&A Board alternate Robert Murray
says the proposal "was not intended to
damage the groups or individuals," but emphasizes that the situation was handled'
poorly by the board.
Apparently the board was considering
combining the two groups because they'
have similar ideologies. Murray said the
proposal got rushed through the process
since the Board is late doing allocations
resulting from the turmoil this quarter
within the S&A organization.
Gudaitis, however, emphasizes that the
two groups perform different functions.
The Peace Center serves as an informa•
tional group, where EPIC is involved in
events.
EPIC and the Peace Center set up an information table in the CAB and had a petition opposing the combining of the groups
without their input. The groups collected
234 signatures in one day.
The petition was presented at Friday's
S&A meeting, where the board and the
groups effected discussed the proposal and
the lack of communication involved. They
also discussed how the situation can be
avoided in the future. Gudaitis was pleased with the results of the meeting, and says
the board members were very apologetic.
"It was very positive," she says. ''When
we left we were smiling and they were smiling too."

It's about power when a S.A.C.R.E.D.
member lies ~d says we refused to print
an interview reporter Suzette Williams
could not conduct until Friday-two days
after the paper went to press. And why
hadn't she scheduled tpe interview sooner?
Because S.A.C.R.E.D. folks work secretly
and don't leave phone numbers and ad·
dresses where they can be reached. (please
note, page 3.)
It's about power when members on the
S&A board try to manipulate the CPJ. For
instance, when we presented next year's
budget, goals and oJ>jectives, we were made
to feel we had to pt:ove an editorship like
Ben Tansey's wouldn't happen again or the
paper wouldD't be funded. On several other
occasions, comments were made to the effect that, "if we (the S&A board) don't like

worse, yet, he sent a research aDd development Bta,thriember to the CPJ office say·

When four S&A people remove S&A files
from the S&A office, and leave their
resignations for o~rs to find the next day,
that's about power. It reeks of, 'we're too

was a well orchestrated scheme to

manipulation, the four have passed stories

The truth is severalstaft' members tried on

It's about power when Sandra Davis,

Heather Clark is one of the new student
managers hired for next year. On the night
,of our test we were in the same group
together and as we walked out of the
Library building she made some statements
I thought interesting. I'm not going to tell
, 'you what they are here, I'd rather let her
tell you in her own words.
What does Heather do in her spare time?
Heather is a very busy lady.
"I listen to music. I like funky old stuff.
I like old Motown stuff. I like to act. Ac·
ting is my specialty. And I do homework."
I'm interested in people. I'm interested
in movies, and musicals. I like to
to.-the _
movies. The last movie I saw was My Life
' as a Dog, I haven't gone to the movies in
a long time because I have so much
homework. The last time I went was over
(spring) break."
So why did a person who wants to be an
actor come to Evergreen?
'
"I came to Evergreen because of the
liberal arts education. I was interested in
the way they ran things. I like Evergreen
a lot. I like it because everything is not like,
'I have a math class, and English class,' and
stuff like that. You can do what you want
to do.

University) to get my Masters (degree). I

the meetmg about the petition against the
CPJ and asked him if he had at least talked with Janis or Susan about the group's
concerns that we are "mouthpieces to the
administration." When he replied "no, he
hadn't talked to them and that he had simply heard it ,through the grapevine," my
respect for the group rapidly declined. Arrogance and self-righteousness are not
traits I particularly admire.
I also attended M.R.R.N.'s meeting on
May 17, and I learned even more about how
mass assumptions, racist, sexist and
homophobic stereotypes succeed in only
hurting a lot of people. M.R.R.N.'s mistake
is a lesson for all of us, and I hope they've
learned something too.
If we spend less time' second guessing and
more time communicating, people will be
far more willing to listen, and our results
will be more effective in the long run. I may
not agree with M.R.R.N.'s approach, but
I can honestly say that I'm glad they took
the initiative to at least try and strike a
spark on this campus.
Communication is powerful.

A
Writing center: an immodest proposcil
by Dennis Held
Evergreen recognizes that the ability to
write effectively is an essential component
of an education, and that learning to write
clearly helps one think clearly. But for
students interested ·in developing their
writing skills, the CUITiculum only provides
scattered, non-sequential programs geared
specifically to providing those skills. Individual contracts in writing are scarce, and
often fIll up before they are formally
announced.
Evergreen also has a commitment to involve students in curricular planning. How
can we insure that the teaching of writing,
at levels appropriate to a wide range of
students' needs, is a continuous, on-going
element of Evergreen's offerings?
I have a proposal. Actually, I'm bringing
forth a proposal that was worked on by a
number of students, and then reworked and
refined by members of the humanities
group, must visibly Rudy Martin. We've
received verbal support from the provost,
the college's director of fund raising, the
staff of the Learning Resource Center, and
at least five other faculty members are
behind it. Now's the time to put the goods
on the table and see how many students and
faculty members would support an
undergraduate writing center at
Evergreen.
First, a brief chronology. I've been very
involved in writing at Evergreen, as a tutor
in the LRC, as an editor for Slightly West,
and in two programs that emphasized
writing skills from different angles. "Mass
Communications" and "The Experience of
Fiction." I appreciated the high level of attention my writing received, especially
from other students, but it bothered me
that writing at Evergreen is a hit-or-miss
propositi~m. Some years there are programs, some years there aren't. I'm
graduating in June, but I wanted to find a
way future students could be assured of
continuous offerings in writing. A workable
plan will have to make the best possible use
of existing resources, in tenns of money and
human resources, and not create some sort
of new and tangled level of bureaucracy.
In talks I had with other students,
Patrick Hill and Rudy, a plan emerged. At
this point , I quote an April 11 letter sent
from Rudy to the members of the
humanities group:
" Suppose we did the following:'
• •
I. Instituted and advertised a formal, twoyear writing sequence, some element (s) of
. which would be offered every year.
12
II. Recruited faculty members and
students to work in such a center-students
towards graduation with a concentration in
writing, faculty towards .emphasizing
writing as one area of intermediate and advancedwork.
III. Considered writing a "center of excellence" that might have a wide variety
of implications-fundraising, writer-in·
residence appointments of different
lengths, public service, perhaps even a
small press.
A repeating one year and second
quarterll quarter model, one whose order
could be reversed at different times, depending upon faculty availability, student interest and so on could be fairly easy to do
with e;Usting faculty. Here's what it might
look like.
"Writing from Experience" -the one

The "experience" on whlchit would be based could be in the humanities, the social or
natural sciences, or wherever, but the emphasis would be on writing from that
experience.
"The Experience of..:" (fiction, poetry,
plays, natural history, news , ~tiDg,
literary criticism, etc.)-two quarters of advanced work in"the experience of... " and
one quarter in something groWing out of

GE boycott is more complicated
by Cynphvrrox
Presently there is a drive to boycott the
General Electric corporation to pressure
them to stop manufacturing parts for
nuclear annaments. In its present fonn, the
GE "boycott" is futile in that it will neither
stop GE nor slow the arms race, and is
hypocritical for all domestic participants.
INF ACT, a Southern California based
organization, is leading the nation-wide
boycott of GE. INF ACT has stated that
they won the boycott on Nestle, thus instilling potential participants with confidence
that a boycott of GE will also be effective.
They assert that when GE pulls "it's considerable weight out of the nuclear weapons
production chain, a critical link will be
broken, bringing the world closer to the end
of the nuclear anna buildup" (lNF ACT
flier). It was recently stated that:
" a primary goal of the campaign is to
buildPublic a'Wareness ojtJii role that all
neclear weapons corporations play in the
military-industrial complex. Public
a'Warene8B and direct economic pressure
are the m.eans through which we can slow
the momentum of the arms race. (Tim
RusBell, CPJ, April, 21, 1988.)
INFACT claims that a "recent decision
of just two institutional supporters to
boycott GE resulted in the loss of sales to
GE amounting to over $l40,OOO!" Such a
sum to GE resembles a barnacle on a blue
whale.
On a INF ACT flier is a list of consumer
goods to be boycotted; the list is made up
of categories: products for lighting-light
bulbs, lamps and batteries; electronic products such as TV s, radios, stereophonic
equipment, telephones, etc. The list also includes appliances such as ovens,
refrigerators, washers, dryers, air conditioners, etc.; construction products such'as
wires, switches, motors, etc; and servicescredit and information.
Although GE makes a considerable
amount of money from the sales of these

products, the profits are, for the most past,

So, if one really wants to boycott GE slhe
should consider not purchasing any
autoinobile made in America, or ride in any
American made buses, for most of the electric components are made by GE. In addition, GE manufactures the robots which
assemble most American cars. Even if the
boycotter has a foreign car s/he should stay
off the roads; GE makes all sorts of parts
used in road construction and maintenance.
The boycotter should avoid the numerous
airlines whose planes use GE engines, not
to mention electrical systems.
.
It matters not whether the boycotter
owns a GE television or radio (even if they
weren't planning on watching the GE owned NBC network), they need not watch or
listen anyway, for GE makes the transmitters and converters for bro~dcasting.

tion in tenn. Public awareness can be
achieved through other means be&ides the
"jump on the bandwagon" methOd which
INF ACT is using.
Furthermore, by singling out GE, the
focus is taken away from the other companies who also manufacture parts for
nuclear weapons.
It matters not whether one decides to
boycott GE lightbulbs and purchase
Westinghouse bulbs instead, slhe is still
buying from a company that makes
nuclear weapons. This applies to hundreds
of products which are purchased without a
second thought. But then, it's so much
easier to sign a petition, boycott GE and
think you've done your part.
L
None of this is to say one should not avoid
GE products. If you do not wish U; gi~e
your money to a company whose policies
you don't agree with, then take the time to
find.an alternative which doesn't upset ~our
_.c.onsdence.-But, that is- not -b'oycottmg a
company; boycotting is done as a collective
of people, not as an individual action. A
boycott ,is a commitment to avoid all products made by the targeted company; to do
otherwise is hypocrisy.

Security IS
about people, Riggins s~ys
Name: Sabine Riggins
Security Officer
Hometown: Olympia,
WashingtonIFrance/Germany
by Darrel Riley
An Evergreen car swooped up beside me
on the sidewalk as 1 walked toward 'A'
Dorm and a voice boomed out, "hold it right
there." 1 stopped, waiting to see what
nefarious crime 1 was going to be accused
of, ready to protest my innocence. A woman
jumped out and walked past me to talk to
two other men. That was my fu-st en·
counter with Sabine Riggins. The next time
1 talked to her was at a dance four months
later. 1 tried to convince her to join in, but
she just laughed and said she had other
duties.
Sabine Riggins is one of the invisible people whe-makes-t-he-campus work;-Sabine Riggins is a Security Officer.
"I've always had an interest in law enforcement. 1 started as an Explorer with
the Olympia Police Department, then 1 was
hired as a cadet while I was going to Fort
Steilacoom. 1 worked part time, 20 hours
a week, at the police department at
minimum wage. Just before 1 quit they put
out a job announcement for this job and 1
applied at that time. I did not get the job
but 1 was told I would be put on the waiting
list for six months, or a year. About two
weeks later they <;ailed me and set up an
interview. Then they called me back and
said they had too many people. Then they
called me again and said they WOUld.set'Up
the interview because some people had
been cancelled. So 1 went and interviewed
and they told me that I did not have the job.
''Two weeks later Chief Russell called me
and said he wanted to interview me because there w~ a person who was going to
be sick and he wanted to interview me to
me whether I would like the job or not
After the interview he told me how much
I was going to make and all that. 1 started
here in March of 1985. 1 became permanent
in June or July of 1985. I've been here ever
since."
Lest you think security officers are uncultured, Sabine Riggins speaks fluent
French as well as English. Her mother is
French. She spent half her life in France
and Germany.
.
What is the worst part of her job?
"All the p,arties. That's something that
occurs frequently her. 1 haven't had
too many really bad experiences. 1 try to
learn trom each experience that I
encounter.

Sec~urity officer Sabina Riggins
"What frightens me are dogs. 1 do not
like dogs-at all. I'm more apt to turn a~d
run if a dog growls at me. If a dog sits there
nicely and quietly I'm cool. I pretend like
I'm not afraid. I try to ignore it(the fear.)
I know they are going to be on campus. If '
they are going to be here they have got to
be used to dealing with people. Most of
them are tame. But once they make a'move
for me, I'm history. I've been bitten by a
dog and llmow what it's lik~. When I was
young I had a dog sicced on me and ever '
since then I haven't been able to deal with
dogs."
And the best part of her job?
"The best thing about the job is working
with people. 1 really like working with people. I like dealing with the public. That's
not to say that I'm going to let the public
walk over me like a carpet. I'll tell people
how I feel about ce~ issues. I tell pe'opIe how 1 want them to do certain th~s,
especially if I'm in, a position where 1 have
to take control of the situation. For example, if two people are fighting I've got to
take control ofthe situation. People need

"Sometimes people don't know how to

We have to put forth a po~itive ~age.
''Whenl encounter people I tt~y to make
a positive inflUence instead of a negative
one. 1 try to leave them saying, 'hey, securi- .
ty can help me if I need the help. They are
there to listen, if need be.' '
"Sometimes people just need somebody
that's gomg to listen to whatever problem
they have. We try to be there for them.
Maybe I can't reach ~verybody, but I try.
I try to do the best I can."
Has Evergreen changed since she
started? '
When I first started here the students
were older. Now we get students fresh out

Freedom allows
satire and critique
To the Editor:
When some members of a community feel
compelled to critique the satire one of its
members produces, it is important to pay
attention. I am writing specifically of the
outrage inspired by the political cartoon
posted around the campus depicting Stone
Thomas, Kathy Ybarra and Cheryl
Henderson-Peters.
While no one questions the rights of those
who vehemently protest the stereotypes in
the cartoon, there is a sentiment expressed between the lines of this protest that
"we have to make sure that nothing like
this ever happens again."
I implore all those concerned with this to
re~lize that..Qne__ oUb.e-..eentraLproblems-Df
democracy is that freedom of speech and
freedom of the press work both ways. The
same rights that permit Gail Martin,
Margurita Mendoza de Sugiyama and
others to protest the cartoon pennitted the
cartoonist to make her cartoon in the first
place.

Editor,
I'm just sitting here perusing this week's

printed. It's entitled, "Issue groups hombard campus." Well, you know something?
Some of the sentences and consequently .

Oppression is in
. the book store
To the Editor:
Oppression is alive and well at
Evergreen! At 8:45 am on -Monday morning (512188) I went into the TESC Bookstore
to return a book I had mista)tenly bought
on 4125/88. It was the wrong book. '
When I bought it I asked the cashier and
the lady at the desk if I could return it if
it was the wrong book-they said if it's not
used and you save the receipt and Wlthm
two weeks. As I stated before it was the
wrong book-they wouldn't take it back
when I tried to return it for an exchange.
So I left.
Then, later that same day, at noon lwent
- - ---back to -aSk -for Windy an-d- told-her- thestory. She kept saying "I don't want to deal
with this" ... and "it's not our policy to refund books. "I kept trying to explain that
the book w.as a late order and they had just ,
gotten them in when I bought it. Windy
told me they will only refund within the
first two weeks of the quarter. I told her
she can't expect me to return a book they
didn't have hi four weeks ago. So she took
me back to the manager, Robert.

So I again explained to him I had bought
the wrong book and it was another one I'd
needed. He started yelling at me that he
is not going to refund a text book after the
first two weeks of the quarter (by this time
tears were swelling up). I told him they had
just gotten the order in when I bought it
and I can't return a book four weeks before
I buy it. He kept yelling at me that "this
was the faculty's fault and don't expect for
this to happen again we're not in the
business of being a lendiIig library, I don't
care when you buy books you're not getting a refund after the f'lrst two weeks of
the quarter."
I feel very insulted, hwniliated and angry.
This was a terrible experience and never
, has anyone treated me like I wasn't human,
as they did. I ended up telling the story to
four different workers but the worst being
Windy -and -t he manager Robert. I was
treated unfairly and now I know that those
who run the TESC bookstore don't see
students as patrons, customers or people
who should be treated with respect, but
rather nuisances who try to take advantage
of them. Oppression is alive and well at
Evergreen. Students-is this what we expect to be treated like? Do you hear me???

Slave metciphor
is hurtful
Dear "revolutionary neighborhood," and
CPJ
One of the "fuck'em" pOsters I saw this
week speaks out against the HEO, board's
propoSed "three tiered system." I too am
opposed to thiS plan. But the graphic of this
po~r is th~'loading diagram for two decks
of a slave ship" -a horrible and chilling image, which, I do not doubt arouses strong
emotion and even ancestral anger for~.
I tind this graphic hostile, manipulative
and inappropriate. The black slave trade is

Thanks from
EPIC and the
Peace Center
Dear Community,
We thank the community for all the support given to the Peace and Conflict Resolution Center and the Evergreen Political Information Center (EPIC) during last week's
opposition of a force merger of the two
groups.
Because moves were made to merge the
two groups without their knowledg'e or input, there was a large public outcry which
sent a clear message to the S&A Board that
the groups were distinct a,nd deserving of
autonomy.
Much discussion and dialogue occured at
the Friday, May 13 S&A Board meeting,
where we raised our concerns and
presentea a petition of 234 signatures decrying the disrespectful process and the
merger itself. The S&A Board recognized
the inconsiderate nature of their''tentative''
decision and individual members apologized for the lack of communication and
dialogue.
The allocation memo ordering the merger
was rescinded and the Board motioned to
discontinue any attempts to merge EPIC
and the Peace Center this year. The discussion occuring at that meeti{lg was a good
example of cooperation and respect between groups on our campus.
Controversy that has surrounded the recent chaotic situation of the S&A Board has
raised questions as to their ability to work
effecatively. We hope that the resolution of
this merger issue is a good example of
positive campus relations and the value of
openness and cooperation in dealing with
the many controversies rocking our
community.

Racist attack
To the Editor:
A small article in the Olympian last Sunday infonned us of a cruel and frightening
act of racism. A flaming cross greeted a
black family whose daughter had stood up
to harassment from some of her white
schoolmates at North Kitsap High School.
This event occurred in Bremerton, not 50
miles from Olympia.
.
Only when we, as a community, loudly
stand up and condemn this kind of action
can we hope to expose and destroy racism.
Please join me in a letter campaign to express support for the courageous teenager
who confronted her tonnenters, and for her
family who has had to endure bigotry. As
the family was unnamed in the article, I'm
sending my letter in care of North Kitsap
. High School, Bremerton.

S&A apology
To the Evergreen community,
The Services and Activities Board Wishes
to extend its sincere apologies to the
Evergreen community, especially to the
coordinators and constituents of the
Evergreen Political Infonnation Center
and the Peace ana Conflict Resolution
Center. We acknowledge that there were
a number of shortcomings in our process
that resulted in understandable anger and
frustration on the part of the affected
groups. Furthennore, the Board also used
inappropriate process by making decisions
involving the two groups without fIrSt consulting them.
The S&A Board recognizes that EPIC
and the Peace Center perfonn distinct and
equally valuable services to the Evergreen
community.
Again, we apologize for the problems that
~.
resulted from our actions. We thank the
students who came forward to meet with
us and are pleased that together we could
come to some resolution on this issue.

CPJ ..mudslinging is appalling
by Barbaro. L. McNulty
I admit that I am somewhat of an outsider
concerning this issue, being adrift from
from the immedicacy of the problem, and
needing to Jl'ely on the late-arriving CPJ for
infonnation.
The sensitive issues--encompassed in the
broadly-slung mud, however, makes it my
concern, and I am appalled that I must relyon coverage such as yours.
I read numerous articles full of nonspecific charges of sexism and racism. Being a feminist, ·my impulse is to first side
with the women, and ask questions later.
This is precisely the effect the articles
intended-turn the problem into us against
him, multiply our nuniber, gain a momentum of anger, and destrov James Martin.
However, after remaining calm enough to
continue reading, I find no evidence what
so ever to base these charges on. One
specific incident, the replacement of Cheryl
Henderson-Peters' photograph, was insulting (whether to her personally, or
women in general, is another argument).
But, it. was not done by Martin, although
it appears to be the bulk of the ammunition
against him. It does not help the womens'
cause to read about their frustration of not
being able to understand or eXpress their
feelings, and at the moment Martin is gone,
they have a revelation that it is sexism.
Thjs upsets me because it seems like a convenient and sympathetic charge, which I've
yet to see substantiated. I feel it is demeaning to women who have valid cases of sex-

ism to contend with. If it is true, prove it.
If not, don't play upon people's vulnerable
emotions and belittle true victims of sexism and racism.
Beneath this impassioned smoke screen
lies another lurking issue. Student
autonomy and administrative manipulation.
James Martin, and his accusers, admit they
have differing opinions on this issue. It interests me that his opponents found such
an opportune time to accuse him, such a
perfect way to gain strength in numbers
against the most visible thorn in the administration's side. Whatever the case,
these accusers obviously have their own
axe to grind. What is more reprehensib~e
is that the students James Martin has
sought to battle the administration for,
hvae to rely on the CPJ's coverage for
some semblance of fact.
The CPJ'8policy seems to be one of fanning the flames, rather than looking for the
c~use of the fire. Is the cause of this problem the failure to submit a budget proposal, the removal of memos, the defacement of Cheryl's picture, the removal of
fIles? Why didn't the CPJ staff try to get
to the cause of these events instead of pickingup the smear James Milrtm banner?
I admire Martin's calm in the face of this
stonn, and am anxious. to see how big of a
hole people will dig themselves into. I hope
the readers of the CPJ will pause long
enough to ask who's side they're really
picking, and what the effect of lambasting
~artin will be. What are the students of
The Evergreen State College losing due to
this controv.e rsy, how many people will get
·hurt, and who is gaining by creating this
-mob-mentality and causing Martin's
removal. It seems the only winners will be
the administrators, which may be the
reason Martin keeps focusing on that problem, instead of dancing to the trumped-up
tune of racism, sexism andtelitism.
What is amazing to me is how quickly the
CPJ"took sides" in this controversy, comparing James Martin to Oliver North, and
talking about his "well orchestrated
schemes," and "agendas." Amid these apparently substanceless allegations, preying
on vulnerable emotions by throwing' the
argument into the sensitive arena of sexism and racism, is the senseless accusation
of elitism.
Elitism? I don't see anyone even attemp-
