From the Art
Director:
This week's JOURNAL is a
tribute to artists of all kinds on
campus--a "thank you" for
perservering in the face of absurd
inadequacies.
Every year, colleges, including
Evergreen, fulfill an obligation set
up in society long ago: to make the
arts a luxury or a romantic poverty by cutting up budgets into so
many cash-value coupons for imagery and song, words and
wisdom. The problem with that is
that it cuts society and community off from its own conscience by
separating itself from the beauty
and terror expressed in the arts.
The reality is that artists create
in spite of the circumstances surrounding their lives. It is also a
fact, however unfortunate, that
artists often create their strongest
works in conditions of extreme
deprivation. It is a true gift that
at Evergreen the faculty is still
dedicated to motivating students
to create.
The artists represented in this
issue are only a small percentage
of those on campus. We give great
appreciation to the artists who did
contribute to this issue: Devon
Damonte, Leslie Myers, Tom
Kolba and Kirk Horning, Missa
Marmalstern, Frank Gunderson,
Tim Day, Hugh Trout and Tom
Geha, and Pam Mancano. Our
dearest thanks go to Stephanie
Morgan for her illustrations for
both the cover and the Expressive
Arts cover story.
To express a personal vision
may be the hardest thing to do in
this world. It seems that college
is the only place left where one
can afford to create and to think;
it is unfortunate when education
cannot provide artists with adequate tools for creation. Society
certainly does not provide tools,
but ironically, the walls that society builds for artists are the same
walls that they paint upon.

Dear fellow travelers through the
Evergreen Reality,
Night fell like a sad expression. My still
unpacked boxes stood lonely in my cold
. dorm room like faceless arcane megaliths.
In the pandemonious pogram of the first
week, I still remembered to pick up a copy
of The Journal.
My arms slacken as the night breatheil by
silent but all the more prescient for its being. (Life remains and yet it changes.) The
curtain comes down on the newsprint page
as I finish my rapt rereading of your rme
article" A time for creation." It is difficult
to impart just how greatly your essay
achieved contact with all levels of my being, both those conscious and unconscious
and the plethora thereof in between.
I light up a joint and the quickly expiring blazing spire of crimson bows reverentlyon the summit of the match and whispers
its dying wisdom that reflects on the green
ceramic statue of a squirrel perched on two
of its hind legs that crouches tempestuouslyon the sill.
As the fog imbibes the room I am shot
back (quickly but softly) to the genesis of
my political days and the memories
replenish themselves as I stand back as the
unofficial observer of my own yesterday.
On a time past I help my boyfriend slip into a Government building. It's not his size
we take it back and get another one. Good
thing we saved the receipt. (It was his' color, though.)
Well, now that I have your attention, let's
get to the matter at hand: "A time for creation." I don't think I've ever laughed so
hard as I did at this bit of newsprint stool.
It was absolutely amazing. From the
"Don't worry, Miss, I can help you" Captain America lines to the "Donovanreincarnated as li tree" thought/ramblings,
it was.. how do you say... pablum.
This is the sort of nco-beatnik, born-againDruid pretend intelle<;t that has kept a
cliche alive. A cliche that draws those who
wish to suckle it and drives away those who
might bendit the college rather than
bereave it. The new student is going to be
deluged with enough confusion and selfdoubt without having to worry about the

out of the mire, not be part of it. The information in that little "Tale of Suspense"
could be encapsulated, with nothing lost,
(and a few things gained) in one of the tiny
little spaces you reserved to rank your
advertisers and their employees.
Sincerely,

P.S. Unless you're living in the universe
where Spock has a beard, it's "ROBERTS

are "always sing while you change into your

Dear Editor:
Who the hell is Polly Trout? With the
limited amount of available space in the
"new" CPJ, why is the managing editor
writing half of the paper? In issue I I of the
CPJ, Helen Gilmore and Derek Maher
clearly stated their feelings on Ms. Trout's
journalistic depth. My feelings echo their
own, but to a much larger degree.
Issue II greatly improved upon its Sports
(sorry, Health and Recreation) coverage. I
particularly ef\joyed the article on Andrew
Murphy. Mr. Weisman should continue his
readable and elucid approach to "sports"
journalism.
The cover looks nice, but where are all
the people? The title below the picture
reads "governance." But what is governance without the people who govern? This
puts across a very empty message to the
readers of your "paper."
One last point, how 'bout putting another
Bud Light poster in the next issue to spice
things up a bit? It's posters like that, that
make the CPJ the fine literary magazine
that it is today.
And, you still need staples.
John Christopher
Dear CPJ Editor:
In the past two years, I have been a
regular user of the A-dorm stairwell that
faces toward the center of campus. During
this time, the stairwell has been a place of

LETTERS

'self-restrained grafitti' - students have
been free to express their creativity
without maintenance painting over the
walls, and students have shown respect for
this opportunity by creating interesting and
humorous art. Until now, I had ef\joyed this
graffitti, and felt proud that students from
my school could handle this freedom in a
mature fashion.
In recent weeks the walls of this stairwell
have been decimated. First, there were
huge and scribbled figures drawn over past
works. Now, blue paint has been sprayed
in lines across the whole of many of the
walls. The floprs and doors have been
sprayed over. Using the well is no longer
enjoyable. It is now, to me, a symbol of lack
of respect and care for our school.
Evergreen means something extra to me,
because I think of it as a place where
students care just 'a little extra. WHAT'S
HAPPENING, YOU GUYS???
What will happen to the stairwell now?
Will it all be painted over? Will students
respect, or abuse, a second chance? Will
they be given a second chance, or will
bureaucracy and regulations be the only
ways we can supervise our community?
Will students take responsibility, for the
stairwell and for the school, and prove that
Evergreen is a place with a difference?
Cindy Davis
To Polly Trout,
Be gentle and you will need no strength.
Be patient and you will achieve all things.
Be humble and you will remain entire.
Best of luck with you and your future.

Expressive Arts Shifts

Sally Cloninger, this year's convener. The administration's attitude

Worsening the blow, staff support in media and library serviceon which Expressive Arts depends-was not spared by more recent cuts. Additionally, access to many facilities began to be terminated or severelY restricted. Evergreen's printshop and
costume shop, weaving studio and vacuum forming studio were
all victims.

As this snowball of expressive destruction continued, a very
strange thing happened. The artistic sensibilities of the people in
Expressive Arts were leading them to·embrace the new aesthetic
vanguard of inter-art, that is, interdisciplinary creations and collaborative artistic endeavors. Simultaneously, the area's resour~e
problems were forcing it to integrate more and more of its programs. Expressive arts was forced to go in the artistic direction
it would probably have otherwise gone in by choice. Cloninger

summed it up by saying the move to inter-arts was "part expediency and part pedagogical." The whole concept rings of Darwin, of trend-setting, and of serendipity, but none of these
analogies captures its purity.
These developments gave rise to a collective pseudo-paranoid
anxiety that eventually gave impetus to both the Internal Review
and another report done by an external team, which has not been
released yet.
Cloninger said that the external review included the cautions
of a UW professor, Ogden Bell, who believes that the shrinkage
of "staff and faculty, and the inability to have different skill levels
and real interactions with the whole campus" were causes for concern. Bell had pointed out that at least part of Evergr~en's national reputation is staked on its art; to threaten the one is to endanger the other. Thus did Cloninger warn of ramifications "if
the arts were allowed to wither on the vine."
The process of proceeding with the external review was a
healthy one for the area because it validated and legitimized some
of their darker worries. As this institutional psychodrama fades
back into balance, Cloninger is working very closely with other
faculty. "We've been doing well, we need help, and we're burned
out."
Is there really any money on the horizon for Expressive Arts?
On Nov. 5 the Convener's Council gets under way and "each area
will have some a recommendations about growth based on curricular needs for this year and next .. .'.'
The goal for Expressive Arts is to be able to restore their ability to provide skill development courses at both beginning and advanced stages, as well as more advanced programs. That will take
people and money. Cloninger is "looking foward to the luxury of
doing more interdisciplinary work" and to knowing that basic skill
acquisition is secure. 0

Olympians protest
contra aid
October 1 marked a new twist in the
ongoing conflict in Central America, with
the resumption of U.S. military assistance
to the Nicaraguan contras seeking to overthrow the government of Nicaragua. Opponents of this action staged rallies around
the country to protest the event.
Approximately 60 demonstrators marched in a circle in front of the federal building
in Olympia and then congregated in
Sylvester Park. They ·carried large white
crosses which bore the names of victims of
contra actions.
Evergreen faculty member Stephanie
Coontz addressed those in attendance and
delivered a stinging denunciation of U.S.
Central American policies. She pointed out
that the inherent contradiction in Reagan's
foreign policy which claims to uphold
freedom and democracy in its efforts to
depose the Sandinista government in
Nicaragua while expressing mild condemnation of the repressive actions by the
white minority government of South Africa.

Coontz noted that the majority of
Americans, as measured by public opinion
polls, do not favor aiding the contras. She
challenged the demonstrators to seek out
those who support current U.S. policy and
those who are indifferent on the issue and
to convince them of the faults of U.S.
actions.
This demonstration marked the beginning of many actions planned this fall by
opponents of U.S. Central American
policies. A network of organizations
dedicated to promoting peace and justice
in the region exist in the Olympia area.
They are planning activities ranging from
changing attitudes in this country to providing assistance in the construction of
schools and health clinics in Central

Activists protest
rainforest destruction
Twenty people rallied in front of SeafIrst
Bank on 5th and Columbia in downtown
Olympia September 30 to protest the
bank's loans to countries whose development projects destroy rainforests.
The demonstration, sponsored by the
Rainforest Action Network and Earth
First!, was part of an international day of
protest against private banks, as well as the
World Bank and other multilateral lending
institutions, who lend money for rainforest
destruction. September 30 was chosen to
coincide with the opening of the annual
meeting of the World Bank in Washington,
D.C., where the Tropical Forest Action
Group, a environmentalist coalition, held a
Citizen's Conference on the projects the
World Bank funds, and a march to the
World Bank headquarters.
The World Bank and three other development banks together loan $22 billion a year
to projects in rainforest countries, according to the World Rainforest Report,
published by the Rainforest Action Networ~. (Rainforest countries include Brazil,
Venezuela, Mexico, and Indonesia, among
others). According to a U.S. government
report, in 1982, SeafIrst Bank had $90
million in outstanding loans to Brazil, $18
million to Venezuela, and $257 million to
Mexico. Bank of America, Seafirst's parent
bank, had outstanding loans of $2.3 billion
to Brazil, $2 billion to Venezuela, $2.5 billion
to Mexico, and $1.5 billion to the
Philippines.
According to Rainforest Action Network
literature
distributed
by
the
demonstrators, " ... tropical rainforests are
being destroyed at the rate of one hundred
acres per minute and at least one life form
becomes extinct every day. At this rate, the
rainforests will be virtually all gone in fIfteen years." The literature also noted that
millions of indigenous peoples, whose survival depends on the rainforest, are slowly
being extinguished. Leukemia patients and
others who depend on medicine from the
rainforest are also threatened. Ultimately,
if the rainforests are destroyed, carbon ,
dioxide formally ab~orbed by the forests
will accumulate in the atmosphere, causing
reduction oxygen levels and an increase in
temperatures near the earth's surface (the
Greenhouse Effect), which could cause the

polar ice caps to melt.
TESC stu~ent Rhys Roth, an organizer
of the Olympia demonstration, said the protest's purpose was mainly to "draw ~tten­
tion to the issue." According to Roth, the
groups goals are: Ending the World Bank's
destructive lending policies, preservation
of remaining tropical rainforests and areas
inhabited by indigenous people, reforestation where possible, and encouragement of
sustainable agriculture in rainforest countries. Roth also noted that "the burden of
proof is on the private banks. They need to
explicitly clear their portfoloios of loans to
construction projects which are destroying
rainforests. "
Roth said he had spoken to David Paget,
manager of the 5th and Columbia branch,
before the protest, and had "appreciated
talking with him." However, Roth is "hoping that he (Paget) will take moral responsibility commesurate with the benefits he
receives" from the bank. Paget was
unavailable for comment.
The protest started at 3:30 and ended
shortly after the bank closed at 5:00.
Throughout the protest, the demonstrators,
mainly Evergreen students, held signs saying "Breath Easy, Save the Rainforest,"
"The World Bank Fund$ Mass Destruc-

tion," "Rainforest Destruction equals
Genocide for Indigenous Cultures," and
other slogans.
When asked about further protest, Roth
replied, "the issue is not going to just go
away, so we're not going to go away." "It's
a crucial issue that needs to be addressed
immediately," added Evergreen student
Kristi MacLean, another organizer of the
demonstration.
Protests also took place in Seattle and
Tacoma.

Gideon Spiro, outspoken critic of Israeli
policy toward the Palestinian people,
recently spoke at TESC with a gathering
of 25-30 students and community members.
The Oct. 3 lunchtime event was cosponsored by EPIC, The Peace Center, and a
local organization known as Solidarity. During the meeting Spiro responded to questions from the audience, rather than
delivering a formal speech.
Spiro, who is an Israeli citizen and a
sargeant in the reserves, has been ousted
from his job in the Ministry of Education
and Culture; his pension rights have been
cancelled, and he will be unable to hold any
government job for five years, as a direct
result of his active resistance to the war
with Lebanon.
In a series of letters to the editor of
various Israeli newspapers, Spiro pointed
out the racism inherent in the war, and the
attendant repression of Palestinian human
rights. He subsequently became the fIrst
civil s~rvant to be tried for "public criticism
against the policy of the government, and
inSUlting and damaging criticism." Spiro
pointed out that the letters were written
by him during his free time, and not as a
government employee, but in Israel, he
says, "There are no first amendment rights
because we don't have a constitution."

10 members of the Knessett who are inclined to support the resistance publicly. Yesh
Gvul ("There is a Limit'!) is an organized
group of citizens who are calling for an end
to the aggression in Lebanon; as of 1983
there were 85 resisters imprisoned for
refusing to fight in Lebanon.
Spiro emphasized that racism is the root
cause of the problem in Israel, and said,
"Jewish racism is not nicer because it is
Jewish; Jewish colonialism is not nicer
because it is Jewish." Spiro was careful to
draw distinctions between Arabs living in
Israel and those who live outside "the
green line." For Arab Israelis who want to
remain citizens, the struggle to be accepted
is similar to that of apartheid: "They must
fight for their full civil rights." He believes
that solutions cannot come about until the
people of Israel come to grips with the fact
that they are living in an Arab area, where
the national majority is Arab. At this point
in time it is important for those living in
Israel to struggle with their racism, for
them to learn the language and culture of
the Arab world. Presently there is little
dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians,
except for those who are desperately trying to attain peace through groups like
Yesh Gvul.
Spiro says that the purpose of the invasion of Lebanon was purely to drive out the
PLO, thereby repressing the right of the
Palestinian people to self determination.
Given the right of Israel to exist Sprio said,
"As I understand it, Palestinian human
rights means that they should be able to get

Spiro is currently on a cross country tour,
sponsored by the Paletinian Human Rights
Campaign, visiting many campuses
throughout the U.S., because he feels that
the public here is not getting the true picture of events in the Middle East. This year
the U.S. will give Israel $5 billion dollars
in foreign aid because, Spiro said, "Israel
fits strategically into the U.S. fight against
communism." Presently 50% of the Israeli
budget and 25% GNP goes to military spending, and U.S. aid is the only way the war
can be financed, he asserts.
Another critical aspect of which the
American public may be unaware is that
there is an active peace movement in Israel.
Though still small, they are gaining support; Spiro feels that there are as many as

rid of occupying Israeli forces, not to live
under military rule, and the right to self
determination. He feels that the "illegal
order to enter Lebanon caused war crimes
to be committed" in the name of the Israeli
people, and views Ariel Sharon and other
military leaders as war criminals, who
should be tried as such.
Spiro and other resistors feel that there
is no military solution to the problem, but
that negotiations must take place; Israel
has refused to negotiate with the PLO,
branding them as terrorists, and continues
to use military maneuvers to resolve the
conflict. He fears that the fate of Israel may
be a right wing dictatorship; there is a dual
system of government there now, he says,
"democracy for Israelis and repression for

Arabs." If the tide is not changed soon, he
feels, "It will have a cancerous effect, slowly, slowly, it will erode the society, and one
day it may be too late."

DTFs seek student
volunteers
Disappearing Task Forces are short-term
committees which form to decide a course
of action for a problem or concern on campus. They are composed of volunteer
students, staff, faculty and an administrator, who dedicate themselves to
evaluating a problem at hand. Once a DTF
has decided a course of action, they issue
a report to the Evergreen community. The
group then dissolves itself, thereby
eliminating long-standing offices and
committees.
The following is a list of ongoing and upcoming DTFs:
-Faculty Hiring DTF: Four students are
needed by October 15, and should be able
to devote 2 to 5 hours a week.
-Planning Council: One student is needed. Meetings begin soon, and will occur
every Wednesday from 1:00 to 3:00 all year
long.
-Burlington Northern Faculty Achievment Awards DTF: Two students needed
Spring Quarter
- Academic Advising Board: Regular
Wednesday meetings anticipated, to continue through the year
-Admissions Policy and Planning Study
DTF: Will probably begin in late October
and run through February
- Faculty Evaluation DTF: is currently
meeting and needs students.
- Prior Learning DTF
%Professional Leaves DTF
%Native American Studies Study Group:
Begins early November, runs through
June. Two students needed
-Dean Search Committee: There will probably be two of these charged in late
Winter or early Spring.
-Computer Services Director Search
-Advising Center Director Search
-President's Advisory Board: Needs one
alternate.
-Twentieth Anniversary Celebration

Slightly .West returns
Evergreen's literary magazine, Slightly
West, is back. The publication debuted last
winter, and capped off its Spring issue with
a "wonderfully successful" pUblication party, according to Brian Seidman, who coordinated funding for the project.
Slightly West featured poetry, fiction,
essays, photography, and drawings by
Evergreen artists. Editorial duties were
shared by six students. "Writers got to
meet other writers," said Brian.
"Technically, the magazine was a huge
success, although we went over budget."
In the future, there may be a 50 cent charge
for Slightly West, he added.
Last year, funding for Slightly West came
out of the MAARAVA budget
(MAARAVA is Evergreen's Jewish
cultural organization). Brian would like to
see Slightly West separate from
MAARA VA and receive its own allocation
from S & A in the future.
The Communications Board, which is the
watchdog for student media, had questions
about its jurisdiction over the pUblication,
and will be formulating a policy this
quarter. Said Brian, "I think the magazine
should be a center for free expression on
campus. Students can be responsible for hours: Monday 4-6 p.m.; Tuesday 9 a.m. _
their own publication. The administration 1 p.m.; Wednesday Noon - 6 p.m.; Thursshouldn't feel that they have to stand 'in day 9 a.m. -4 p.m.; and Friday Noon - 6 p.m.
The Rare Book collection, made up of
loco parentis' in everything that students
both donated materials and special purdo."
The new editorial board is currently for- chases, includes works in · the areas of
ming, and will be made up of 2 literary literature, history, fine arts, natural
editors, 2 artistic editors, and 2 production history, Japanese printing and textile
.. editors. The fIrst organizational meeting design, and book design and printing. There
will be held Wednesday, October 15 at 5 are also poetry chapbooks and broadside
p.m. in LIB 3500. "We especially ~eed pro- collections produced by Evergreen
students and faculty. Many items which are
duction people," said Brian.
One thousand copies will be published and not classifIed as rare are included in the coldistributed regionally. For more informa- lection because size or fragility make them

and the Perishable Press, Hamady writes
about his preference for handmade paper:
Irregularity, unevenness, and unicpumess are Cfl1J2lities the machine is not ·interested in at all. A dented deckle. A folded over corner. The out-ofsquare sides.
That fortuitous red thread underlining a
mndmn 'WfYJ"d, that lace-wing insect preserved forever in the corner ofthe title page, that
crater, the vatman's drops, the vatman's
tears, a circle between title and text. The
irregularity signifies: here, humanity, here
is a sign that a human being did this! The
eye and the hand were here! The aesthetic
Kilroy, if you will.
Featuring poetry by Paul Blackburn,
Denise Levertov, W.S. Merwin, William
Stafford, Mary Laird Hamady and others,
the books are richly illustrated by a variety of artists including Ellen Lanyon, Jack
Beal, Bartolameu Dos Santos, Ann
Mikolowski, and Walter and Mary Laird
Hamady.
"To understand the structure of the
book," Hamady writes, "one must understand seeing, that is, know how to see. The
book is a drawing in that is is organizing
shapes in space, shapes with space, space
and elements, such as line/texture/color/harmony/balance, and so on. But the
book is a sculpture too; physically it must
be held and manipulated by the view - but
the viewer remains controlled by the intent
of the artist. The artist reveals to the
viewer as the gourmet chef reveals to
courses in color/texture/flavor complements
- with true elegance, that is, completely
free from awkwardness."
The books from Perishable Press Limited
will be on display through November.

Referendum 40 kick-off

.

~.,-,...

£.--~.: ,

"Right now is a crucial time for
Washingtonians to send a strong statement
to the rest of the country that we will not
let Washington be a national sacrifice zone,
especially because they just cancelled the
search fora second site in the east," explained Alan Rose, WashPIRG campus
organizer. The original idea was to have a
dump in the east as well as the west to
share the burden, according to the Nuclear
Waste Policy Act of 1982. Even through
eighty-five percent of the waste is produced east of the Mississippi, the Department
of Energy (DOE) recently announced it has
"discontinued" its search for a site in the
east. This means that if Hanford is chosen,
it will bear the entire burden of the nation's
nuclear industry. Additionally, there is the
issue of nuclear waste transportation. With
only one site in the west, all high-level
radioactive waste will have to be trucked
from other parts of the country to
Washington.
The featured speaker at the kick-off will
be Tom Grissom, the Evergreen faculty
member and former employee of the U.S.
Department of Energy and Department of
Defense.
He will speak on the diffIculty of getting
honest scientillc data from the DOE
because of the many levels of bureaucracy
that information must go through.

stopping by ,the WashPIRG offIce, LIB
3228, or calling x6058. .

The kick-off for the "Vote 'YES' on
Referendum 40" campaign is set for noon
on Monday, October 13, in CAB 108.
The purpose of the kick-off is to tell
Evergreen students about recent
developments in the national government's
consideration of Hanford, Washington as
the fIrSt nationwide high-level nuclear
waste dump. There will also be a more extensive explanation of the referendum. "We
need to spread the word about the referendum because the language on the ballot is
confusing," said Rachael Wexler, a local
WashPIRG volunteer. A "YES" vote is a
vote against Hanford - it would urge the
state to continue to criticize the federal
government in the dumpsite search, and
give citizens the right to veto the Hanford
site if it is chosen for the high-level dump.

Visual arts may gain
annex

the increase in enrollment and curriculum
changes towards laboratory-based studies.
--Cheryl Cowan

The visual arts classes will be housed in
a new addition to the lab annex if the
Capital Budget request is met. According
to the request: "This addition will provide
a single structm'e that will house wood and
metal fabrication and sculpture, 2 and 3-D
studio space, casting, and ceramics in properly designed, properly ventilated, appropriately outfitted space."
Faculty hiring in the arts is a separate
issue from the $995,200 annex request. This
budget deals strictly with facilities. Currently, visual arts uses science lab
classrooms which are too small for the present class size and have inappropriate flooring, lighting, ventilation, and storage space.
The freeing up of the lab space is also an
issue. Originally, these rooms were intended to be used for seminar/laboratory/office
space, and the need for them has come with

Contract students to air
live TV show
October 15 at 12:30 p.m. on Channel 8,
Narrowfoeus, what I believe is Evergreen's
first live weekly television show, will
premiere. It's a news/information oriented
fIfteen minutes of hot entertainment. Or so
we hope. I and R~pul Berman are receiving credit for the production. Many other
students are working on the show as
volunteers. We're all hoping for a cluster
contract Winter Quarter_
Narrowfocus will consist of campus and
community news, public service announcements for school services and
groups, interviews with school personalities
and visiting artists, humorous and dramatic
skits, independent video features, and

, whatever else the people involved and the
public want. We are hoping for lots of
viewer input, including live viewer opinion
pieces, and contest participation (more to
come on that).
Raoul, a junior, is being sponsored by
Doug Cox. He has worked with prerecorded shows before. Narrowfocus will
give him, and everyone else involved, a
good experience (we pray) working on live
t.v.
We will be broadcasting from the t.v.
studio in the Library bUilding. The show
will be transmitted over the campus antennae system on channel 8. I t will be shown
live Wednesdays at 12:30, and then

photo and rubbing by Devon Damonte

Devon Damonte, visual artist
I came to Evergreen to do printmaking. It was billed as the best printmaking facility
in the Northwest and they had Wtle pictures of the printmaking studio in the catalog
the year I came. So I did that for a couple of years. And then the printmaking studio
was closed ao'ivn as of summer, a year ago. So, I had to find another outlet, and went
to do photography ...
Printmaking and photography kind of merged in rubbings, and that's mostly what I
do now. It's a real simple concept, that most school kids do, just taking like a coin or
any relief surface and putting a piece of paper over it and rubbing over it with a crayon.
But, I became interested more in doing three-dimensional objects--wrapping them in
paper, sometimes wetting the paper and molding it to them, and then drying the paper
and rubbing them, and peeling it of!
I'd been thinking about what would happen if I just used this little rice paper rubbing
as a negative ... So that opened up a whole new world for me, because it worked.
I was real receptive to being pushed, out of necessity, to other areas and being forced
to expand.

Leslie Myers, performance artist

Hugh Trout, musician

I feel personally that I've gotten a lot of attention and a lot of
help, but I think that I've been lucky. I see people running around
trying to get contracts together and not getting it done, and just
doing it anyway.

As far as community support goes, I've
never had it before and don't expect it when
I return to the "real" world. Let's face it,
Evergreen is a terrarium. We're working
in a rare and precious environment-let's
appreciate what we've got.

I'm writing a piece that has one character played by two women;
two different sides of a person. And, the piece is about their learn'ing to liv~ together and make one more healthy person. And then
there are other roles where one performer plays multiple
characters.
Well, I think that working in the arts requires that a student be
more selfmotivated and you have to plan what you're going to
do more yourself; in my experience, there's less structure.
The key is getting a faculty member to believe in you, prove
yourself to a faculty member, and then just go for it. It's the only
way, because we have the equipment, we have the stuff at the
school, but there's no programs, so you get your foot in the door,
and then you kick your way in.
I do feel it's a little idealistic to think that I'm going to get out
of Evergreen and go start doing performance art for a living
somewhere. I am a little nervous about "what am I going to do?"
But, I need to do it now, so I'm doing it.

Society is hostile towards artists overallmy dad's been telling me since I was six·
teen that I should get a real job and con·
tribute to society ... Like most people, he's
missing the point.
I can't bitch about budget cuts and programs. I mean, I get paid quarterly to go
to school. I can take out low·interest loans
if something's important enough.

Missa Marmalstern, African dance teacher
I teach an African style class which means that most of the dance
steps that we do are from dances that I have learned, but they
are not the complete dances. In Africa it's not unusual for people just to dance - they do dances that have specific functions
and specific places in the way their lives run, especially with their
worship and their ceremony and things like that. So I put together
dances we can use for those purposes. Not exactly the dances that
are done in Africa, but I don't think that we have to do those
dances.

This production, which is approximately two hours long, is based on a short" ten
minute script that I wrote last year. It was
performed by some of the students in the
program at the end of Winter quarter out
at the bus stop. I just felt like the encouragement I had from the faculty was tremendous to go ahead and pursue this, because
I had never tried anything like this before.
Then to go through the process of the Senior
Thesis application with Kirk, and to have
ours accepted was just absoluted incredible.

It's a special thing to sweat your brains out with somebody, and
to feel comfortable enough to realy shake it out and show people
what you're made of.
It amazes me that there's not a choreography class here. This is
a school that's supposedly full of creative people and we don't have
classes on some really basic things.

We're not trying to gear this production only to art students at Evergreen and other
colleges. A lot of what we're trying to do is
take a very simple theme about love and
marriage and friendships - just relationships in general - and we're trying to
thrust that at the general populus.
··Torn Kolba
I honestly can't say whether it's fair or not
- I wish they would put more money into
the arts. Experiments are really important
to me and I've found a lot of support and
the ability to do experiments here.
I think a lot of people agree that the school

We have one of the finest printmaking studios, I think, anywhere,
and it's closed - nobody can get into it, not even people who can
demonstrate ability to use the materials, and that's absurd. The
facilities just aren't being used and I don't think we're being encouraged enough to use them, and that's just a big pity because
there's so much talent out there.
is taking more of a shift to the right with
its conservative attitude, and for the arts
people maybe that's not so good. On the
other hand, though, if it brings money to
the school as a whole, then I suppose arts
students can keep fighting to get money.
--Kirk Horning

Primarily, all the responsibility falls on
our shoulders, and I think that's fantastic.
It not only gives us an opportunity to test
our abilities but it also teaches us responsibility, and ifitfalls apart, we have no one
to blame but ourselves.
--Tom Kolba

I think the facilities are there to use and that we shold take the
initiative to use them. If you'U walk through the paperwork of
going through a production clearance report, you can pretty much
get any room you want on this campus, and people need to not
be shy about it.

by Pam Mancano
One hot August afternoon I entered my apartment. All of the
blinds were closed to block out the sun and keep the apartment
cooler. It was too hot to eat or think so I decided to take a nap.
Soon after I got into bed it was too noisy to sleep; jets kept whizzing by, low in the sky and fast. I tried to ignore them, but it sounded too much like a war. The more I thought about it, though I
knew it was better not to think in such heat, the more it seemed
that the world would end any second.
After this realization I got out of bed right away to make some
pasta, though I knew it was better not to eat in such heat.
Before the world ended I was
going to have one last dish of
pasta, tender noodles, slippery
with olive oil. Garlic, hot chilis and
boiled baby clams, cooked in oil
and put on top to make it more
slippery and to add flavor.
The race is on. Can I get my
pasta made before the bomb is
dropped? Yes. Now, will I be able
to eat it before it all explodes?
Yes.
I made a lot of pasta and ate all
of it. I was full, on the verge of being sick. I was ready for the end,
I thought the end might be a
blessing. I fell asleep.
The next day I awoke and found
out that what I had suffered from
the day before was something called Seafair. I'm not sure exactly
what that is but I will guess.
I think it is a celebration
because we live near the sea. Centuries ago we might have walked
out of the sea to live on the land.
If I've done that it was a long time
ago and I don't remember, but
it is entirely possible. For Seafair there are some large number
of battle ships in our port. War machines ready to take charge
if someone should try to take something from us that we value,
or give us something we don't want. The jets I heard flying by
were really blue angels. These angels are not what a person used
to imagine an angel to be. They are big pieces of winged metal
that have to be controlled. A good friend told me that earlier that
day they did a huge dance in the sky. I missed it but they were
going to do it again tomorrow as part of the Seafair festivities,
along with hydroplane races. Metal boat-planes fly across the water
advertising various money-making establishments. That is what
the race is. It is fast information and you've got to be quick to
catch it.
Tomorrow came, and in the middle of the afternoon I heard the
blue angels zooming by. It was another hot day but I opened the
blinds to watch the dance. The blue angels did tricks just above
a house one block away from my apartment; the angels were within
spitting distance. I watched five planes turn into three planes and
flyaway to Mt. Rainier. I think Rainier was one of the
establishments being advertised. After the three angels flew to
the mountain they turned back into five angels, then they flew
in a line down to the earth, then back up into the sky and created
a big arch of steam. After this a sixth blue angel shot out of
nowhere, over the neighbor's house, joined the others and they
fOMm~iI a V f;hot. Rtrail!ht un hhThpr int.n th~ Rkv tho,.., rtOT\!l..tort

I have been soaring through the
sky and diving to the earth. I can
change, as flying machines can
change to dancing blue angels. I
too have departed.
One Saturday while in bed I
read a book that contained riddles
about life; there are more than one
of these books. I found myself
with no answers in an ever expanding sea. The water was rough,
rolling, hissing and roaring, tugging my limbs in all directions, pulling me under, holding me there
fo~ a time and then with tremendous force thrusting me back up
to the surface. While struggling to
keep my head above water I searched for a clue to a riddle, or for
a floating mattress to climb upon
so I might sleep for the night. The
creeping darkness and the zig-zag
streams of light that I was put to
dodging made the search more difficult. As much as I could do was
not enough and the largest bolt of
light went through me from head
to foot.
The year was lost. The writer of
the riddles, an artist from a cen. . . ..
tury ago joined me in the sea and the' sea calmed. Together we
laughed and laughed. I saw my face in front of me. It looked almost
as I knew my face to look and it was engaged in the same activity. It was laughing and tears were sitting on their ledges; the only difference was that the face was much older. At the time this
was happening it all seemed quite normal; I almost didn't notice
it at all. It was only in reflecting back that I realized what an .
ominous experience this had been.
I am both old and young, I can meet with the "dead" alive, and
there are more events to come, so I depart.
I am the void; I contain every scream and every laugh that ever
has been born. About stepping into the void: flying, dancing, air
so pure you eat it, then fly higher. The air is refreshing, like an
icicle in your fire that does not melt. I am eveIJihing and nothing.
My dream is to wrap around you so I will again feel form, and
so you might get out of yourself and fly inside of the void, and
become the void, too.
Lost all gravity. I'll go to the supermarket and purchase some.
On my way; there are monsters of various sizes rolling all around
me,with two bright eyes made out of light, and big steel teeth;
they are making nasal sounds, some long and some short, with
pauses of various lengths in between. On the corner; instructions
on how to avoid being devoured; when the letters in the small box
on top of the pole are the same color as the monster's eyes, then
it

it as it walked by me. At the supermarket; I remain too high above
it, all the items look blurred; I cannot find the gravity.
Another approach; I imagine myself in that restaurant, and
without opening the menu, ordering; "the biggest steak you have
please, well done for gravity." I could not get quite low enough
to make it in the door.
Another way down; I will explode. Afraid to explode, afraid there
will be nothing more. Ah, yes this is it, flying is all there is. I resist
exploding, it will all be over then, or will I start again? Exploded.
Fragmented. I am falling piece by piece. I landed.
It's not so bad down here. It is mine all mine, all of it! Everything
here is for my amusement. For you I have blue lips today, so you
might be amused; it is all yours. Every day is a novel: the
characters, the dialogue, the costumes, the landscapes are alive.
From simplicity to complexity, then a new goal, to know the
perfect fool. I see it so I say it, and watch peoples' faces fall off.
I admit it, I did it.
I am sinking deeper into the earth. There is no place darker.
There is no one else here. To find a jewel, that is my challenge.

to a place where there is no place higher. I turned a mistake into

I had Eros in a dream. He was perfect. I travelled his hills and
valleys, wore his smooth silk hair and swam in his deep eyes. He
does not know me; he left me, maybe to be with you. I know him;
he is desire. I met his mother; she is love, amoral like the god

to assist in design. At this point
that's what it is; it's going to be
more defined later on.
Jennifer: What brought you to
Evergreen?
Richelle: A job. Plus I love it
here. I used to be a student here,
and so I've always been really interested in this kind of learning
environment and always supportive of it, and I wanted to be a part
of it again. So when I saw that
there was ajob here, I was really
excited.
Jennifer: What are some of your
goals here?
Richelle: Goals are still evolving
with what the students and the
faculty want. I think my main goal
at this point is to get this entire
space (the Experimental Theatre)
back up to running order. It's
fallen behind maintenance a little
bit and so we're working real hard
to get everything back into shape
so that we still have all of the
equipment to offer everyone. That
in itself is quite a long process.
Jennifer: How have you found the
students here, in terms of their particular interests and goals?
Richelle: In some ways I wasn't surprised at all by the students
I've encountered; they fit into the old mold. But, at the same time,
I think generally - it's hard to categorize - but generally, they're
all a bit more dedicated or maybe they all have a little more direction than they did then, at least the students that I was involved
with when I was here. I was really young when I was here before,
and so I was kind oflacking that. All ofthe students that I'm working with seem to really know what they want and they're going
for it.

Jennifer: Are the arts at Evergreen getting a fair share of support, both in terms of funding and from the community?
Richelle: I can't say whether there's a lot of support from
the community yet; I haven't witnessed attendance or any of that
aspect. But the fact the Washington Center is here, and the Capitol
Players and other groups that are working from Evergreen, or
not associated with it, are working and maintaining. I would say
that the support has grown considerably since I was here. Budgetwise, I'm kind of leery of saying that we're not getting support
because no one's getting enough money in any department on this
campus. Everyone needs more money. And we desperately need
more money. I'm leery of pointing
us out as the neediest but we have
some real deficiencies over here
and if they're not corrected, we're
going to fall way behind what the
standards are in the industry. I
already think the students are doing amazing things with what little they have, but they aren't getting the exposure to what is realout
there.
If
a
ly
student goes through the educational process in the theater here,
there are some aspects that they
learn, and maybe even more fully
than some people would at a traditional school, but when they get
out into the market, if that's
where their goal is to go, they'll
encounter things that are much
different. Technically, our board
is not up to par with what they'll
encounter in the real world. But,
there's other aspects of
Evergreen that make up for those
lacks, too. I can't say it really does
balance out, but it sure is trying
hard to.
Jennifer: How is an arts education at Evergreen different from
one at a traditional school?
Richelle: Well I can only base it
on my own education, because when I left ~vergreen I went to
a very traditional school and I think the process that I went
through was "traditional," I think that maybe the hierarchy in
the industry is paid attention to, the titles tend to come through,
the study tends to be more" classic." I would have an acting class,
a directing class, a theater construction class, a makeup class, a
costume class, and a literary class, and then even be pushed into
the art department or other places according to my interests. Here,
you have a ctlance, I think, to focus within a tighter frame. I think
you miss some of the basics that are needed. I really think a lot
of the basics are missed sometimes, but then I think some of the
photo by Carolyn Skye

,

advanced studies are delved into so much more quickly that we
end up with a lot fuller minds or a lot more creative people.
The creative level that I've seen come out of here over the years
has always been really tremendous. And every now and then you'll
see a basic thing that seems to be a bit - the polish isn't quite
on the technical aspect of it, but the feeling and the emotion and
the creativity is always really high. So it's almost like one extreme
to the other when you're looking at a traditional school versus
Evergreen. I think everyone needs a little bit of both to fill out
a good arts education. I've always wanted to kind of shake them
up - the school that I went to and Evergreen - I'd like to see
all the students I was involved with get a little of this too and
back and forth, maybe some kind of exchange going on.

a little bit toward the conservative side, just to help itself maintain. Now th~t we as·a society are kind of falling over into a little
bit more· open-mind(~dness, we don't hav:e tp hold back as "the
different ones." We can be a part of the society and we should
be able to give a lot of that to the society, which means that we
do have to open up to the general masses a little bit more. Does
that make sense? It's kind of confusing. But I don't want to see
Evergreen go too far with that either, because then is it selling
out at that point? I'm not sure. I constantly debate with myself
on tnat. I really believe in what Evergreen's doing, and so at that
point it's "Well, we could do better, we could go this direction,
we could go that direction." I don't know.
Jennifer: What are you doing, exactly, in the E.T.?

Jennifer: What are your thoughts about how the school has
changed?
. Richelle: It's hard for me to reflect, in a political sense about the
school, because I really was a kid when I was here before and
I was fairly oblivious to that. I was having a real good time. I expanded more than I probably ever have in the two years that I
was here but I wasn't politically minded. In that sense, it is hard
to describe, but I think that we're on the right track. I'd hate to
see Evergreen go too far, but I did think it needed to pull in just

Richelle: We're not really doing anything, probably, that's not
been done in there before. Mostly we're just cleaning it up. I'm
struggling a lot just learning the environment, because there's
a lot of maintenance problems. So we're trying to clean those up.
It's supposed to be a flexible space, and it's not flexible right now,
so we're trying to make it flexible again. So, it looks like we're
doing all of this tremendous stuff and really it's just doing what
we should have done a long time ago.

Poem to Jill

"The Assault": Images

Jill.
you fluttered into my life
and sat on my shoulder
singing your song.
A song that bubbled over with life.
a silly song
whose dance partner was
determined zeal.

involve, don't exploit
by Irene Mark Buitenkant
If you can't make the worthwhile trip to
Seattle's Egyptian Theater for its current
showing of The Assault. then put it on your
"movies I must not miss" list. This film
was made in the Netherlands by Fons
Rademaker, who a1"so ' directed Max
H avalaar, the powerful historical film
about Dutch colonial imperialism.
The Assault is a best-selling novel written by Henry Mulisch, whose Jewish
mother died in a concentration camp and
whose father was imprisoned for having
married her. It was perfectly duplicated by
the film director, who is said to have wished he had authored it. A few philosophical
ruminations had to be omitted because of
their literary nature, but the director's sensitive, creative interpretation powerfully
conveyed the author's messages. The quality and timing of his images, never excessive
but restrained, tells a haunting story which
involves the audience without exploiting its
passions.
The story is the life of Anton Steenwijk.
It begins when he is twelve years old, in
1945 when he lived with his parents and 17
year old brother in occupied Haarlem, The
Netherlands. They endured with their community the atrocious behavior of the Nazis,
their collaborators and those who were part

of the resistance movement. At this time
some countries were liberated but the
"Hunger Winter" and terror still
dominated Holland's existence. A tragedy
occurred which was more horrible because
people expected that the end of the occupation was imminent.
Anton witnessed the body of the collaborator dragged in front of the house and
the reprisals for the murder: his house
burned to the ground, the removal of his
parents, the disappearance of his brother.
Yet, before he was removed to Amsterdam
to live with his uncle, several of the Nazis
fed and clothed him kindly, perhaps identifying with his youth.
All of this was buried in Anton's memory
because it was practical to get on with life,
which is what he did. Most of the fllm tells
us about his life in each of the next four
decades: his profession as an
anaesthesiologist, his two marriages and
two children.
How he learned about the Assawt is most
interesting. At twelve, he did not know why
those involved acted as they did. He had
limited subjective impressions of his
neighbors and about the system which proscribed his existence. During the following
decades he and the audience, almost
through his eyes, gradually became aware

of what these people did and their motivations. Although the final demystification occurs and the end of the fllm, there is little
or no feeling of mystery at each decade.
New information learned during each sequence satisfied the protagonist and the audience that the incident was fully
understood.
This manner of relating is true to life. It
is common to experience a kind of acceptance rather than curiosity about personal
events. It isn't practical to have
psychological or sociological histories of
those who affect us. Besides being an
enlightening story about an individual and
the frightful period of Anton's youth, The.
Assault reminds us of how often we are
flotsam and jetsam of the difficulty of be-'
ing in charge of our own lives.
In the author's words: "This is why when
the Greeks speak of the future, they say,
'What do we still have behind us?' and in
this sense, Anton Steenwijk was a Greek.
He too stood with his back to the future and
his face toward the past. Whenever he
thought about time, which he did once in .
awhile, he did not conceive of events as
coming out of the future to move through
the present into the past. Instead, they
developed out of the past in the present on
their way to an unknown future."

As the tree grew

You always smiled through the pain,

nothing ever will.
On and on,
in the short time you soared.
I could say we never did enough

and you knew it.
Our flight together was not long

I rejoice in your life.
I'll never forget
all the laughing we did.
Maybe I'll wear my sweat pants

I'll be goofy

I will take my binoculars out

Joe Olander is worried, perhaps even a
little angry. Stan Marshburn, the assistant
to the president, is concerned. Recreation
coordinator Corey Meador is confused and
frustrated. There are others. Jan
Lambertz, Ken Winkley, Pete Steil berg,
John Collier.
The cause of all the commotion is an article by Helen Gilmore that appeared in the
September 18 issue of the Cooper Point
Journal - an article that President
Olander went out of his way to mention in
his speech before the audience at the Student Convocation Wednesday, Sept. 24. He
was not impressed.
In her article, Gilmore deals with the
capital budget's request for a multi-million
dollar Physical Education/Multi-Purpose

Center for The Evergreen State College.
It is Gilmore's opinion that a "social space"
would be more desirable than a fully funded "gymnasium."
In point offact, she may be right. But she
has chosen the wrong battle ground. Worse,
she failed to do her research. And that is
too bad.
We do, in fact, need more space for social
purposes as Helen Gilmore proposed. The
problem with Gilmore's article is that her
vision of a "gymnasium" is merely as one
large space for people to play basketball,
volleyball, or badminton. When, in truth,
this facility is a gre!lt deal more.
In her article Gilmore decries the need
for a performance hall that will seat bet. ween 500-1000 spectators. What Gilmore

The Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship of Olympia

does not realize is that this "gymnasium"
would not only seat over 2,500 people, but
would also come complete with classrooms
and offices, as well as other needed recreational facilities.
Two years ago, Jesse Jackson spoke at St.
Martin's university at an event that was cosponsored by Evergreen. In the future,
well known public figures and performers
could come to Evergreen.
There is, however, a need for a social
space like the one Helen Gilmore proposes
(with the possible exception of a video arcade and bowling alley). But that will have
to be somewhere else at another time. And
I hope that it does get built, because I agree
with Helen Gilmore. Evergreen can be a
very dull place to live.

by Jacob Weisman
When Bill Hilliard was growing up, the
Oreganian refused to give him a paper
route because he was black. TOday, he is
the paper's executive editor, in charge of "
overseeing the entire news operation.
"It was Joe Louis," he says, "who in- ~
spired me to put out a little neighborhood ;;
newspaper called The Copycat Gazette. A *
lot of the material had to do with Joe Louis
and his fights. Joe Louis was the only black
person I saw in the paper, and he got the
same play the white athletes got: Joe
DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, and those kind of
people.
"Joe Louis was very exciting. He could
hit. He would punch fast, and they were
short punches. I think he was the best
heavyweight champion of all time_
"I always listened to his fights on the
radio. When Louis knocked out Max
Schmeling in the first round, I must have
been jumping up and down. The fight was
so short. It was just 'Louis with the right;
Louis with the left; Shmeling is down. Louis
with the right; Louis with the left; Shmeling is down.'
"There was a lot of controversy over
whether or not Louis should fight ShmelJoe Louis: "The Brown Bomber. "
ing. Because Schmeling had won, the Germans, especially Hitler, would tout the
superiority of the Aryan race. As it turned
out, it didn't matter.
"I think it's hard for most whites to
understand the difficulty of coming up in
a society where you're told you can't do certain things just because of color, and not
having any role models to tell you that you
can do them.

Giants, arid the Indianapolis Clowns of the

three players, Louis Marquez, played briefly with a major league team. For him, it
was enough that they were there.
"I was not a very good athlete in high
school. I ran the 400 meters and cross country. I can never remember winning a race
for my school. I'd always come in third,
f.ourth, fifth, or sHeth. I was more interested
in covering sports for the newspaper than
I was in participating.
"I came to the Oreganian in 1952 as a
copy boy. I went from there to sportswriting, and then to general news. Since
I left sports, we have not had a full time
plack in that department. We hired our first
aoout two weeks ago. It's part of our
overall effort to integrate the staff with people who are representative of our society.
It's only been in the last 10 to 15 years that
we've awakened to the fact that we have
a lot of women and non-whites with a lot
of talent. We need to bring them on at an
entry level and watch them and see if we
can help them climb.
.
"I'm Death on people being treated unfairly. And if my philosophy prevails in this
newsroom, there is a good chance that the
Oreganian will be good to the people on the
outside."

Evergreen still trails the Huskies'O-2-1 in

other words, this year we have nearly 3000
students. When I came to Evergreen, in
1977, the enrollment was something like
2500 or 2400. We are not the same place
that we were in 1977_ We always change."

Arnaldo Rodriguez is the Dean of Enrollment Services at The Evergreen State College. His job consists, in part, of providing
infonnation to prospective college students,
hoping they will choose Evergreen f~r their
college' education.
Arnaldo was born in Cuba in 1945. In 1962
he left Cuba as part of a giant exodus of
young people.
What follow are some comments by
~rnal#.

"It didn't used to be that it was
';.,

fashionable for directors of admissions to
be salesmen. If you went into education,
you went into a real profession and you
were not going to be a salesman, with all
of those bad connotations."
"I think in fact directors of admissions
have always been salespeople. The difference is that prior to, say, 1975 there
were enough customers that you didn't
have to work very hard at selling your institution. Since then, we've had to work
damn hard to sell the place. And it doesn't
matter whether you're working for Harvard. The point is that Harvard still sells
Harvard. Evergreen still needs to sell
E vergreen_"
"I think that we always have to move in
new directions. Just as a result of age. In

"When I came to this country I had to
create a whole new life. I'm from a very
small town in Cuba. If you've been to
Shelton, Washington, it's very much the
same thing - small. My father farmed
sugarcane and did cattle work. Those were
the things that he worked at.

ficulties of changing cultures. When I came
to this country, I had a vocabulary of
around a hundred words, maybe two hundred at the most_ And certainly no ability
to put the words together in a sentence.
Hell, there wasn't time to think about what
I was leaving behind. You got off the plane;
you were in a refugee camp; you got off of
another plane; you were in Portland,
Oregon, and you had to go to school.
"I have always been able to be Cuban when I want to be Cuban. But I also 'know
how to swim the waters of mainstream
U.S.A. And so, in that sense, I don't feel
like I have had to switch cultures_ Put simply, I have situations where I can be
very Cuban, and situations where I can be
mainstreamer U.S.A.
"When I first came to Evergreen, the
editor of the Cooper Point Journal came
to interview me, and he asked me how long
I was planning to stay'on the job. And I sort
of looked at her really funny. I had just
moved my family here; I just bought a new
house. And she's asking me how long I plan
to stay here? And the background on that
is that from 1971-1977 the college had had
four directors of admissions. So, the record
of my predecessors had not been very good.
And I guess she thought I was just going
to jump ship real fast. I didn't. I'm still
here_"

by Ben Tansey

Scott Walrus looked around him. There
were shelves and reading tables. For a moment he couldn't remember whether he
was in high school or college. Possibly he
was working for IBM. No, no, he was in
high school, right, right. Those bloody
cigarettes could cause quite a rush. "Inhale
deeply," his friend had said, "how else are
you going to get lung cancer?" He had been
thinking about something--what was it? He
saw an image of his friend in his head. No,_
that was just now. What had he been thinking before? It was so wonderful, so distant,
so peaceful. Usually, he knew, he could not
remember. Oh yeah, wait, it was something
about, yes another fantasy about being in
England, and his sister was there, or no,
a girlfriend. Another nameless girlfriend.
And they were having tea, and the tea was
so delicious and the sun came through the
window.... Well, anyway, he was awake
now, or conscious, or whatever. He felt that
his right leg was "asleep"--tingly and painful to move. One of his books had fallen off
the desk. He was at school. He had to go
to class in about 20 minutes. He probably
wouldn't go.
Often times some friends of his would
show up about now. They were okay people, a bit immature, somwhat preposterous,
but amusing. Good souls at heart. But he
didn't want to talk to them. He decided to
go outside and smoke a cigarette. His leg
protested bitterly as he got up. He could
feel the dirt on his body. It had been a while
since the last bath. Probably ought to brush
my teeth, he thought.
I t was nice to get out of the sterile
building and into the sun. The weeds outside were being dried out. He was always
careful about smoking out here, what with
the brush and all. He found a spot where
he couldn't see over the bushes. The dry
sandstone dirt provided a good place to sit.
A good place to think about things. But
Scott Walrus spent too much time thinking.
He knew that. And now that he had just
come out of one his semi-dream states, the
world seemed much less interesting. He
wanted to go to England. He wanted to imd
a lover. He wanted peace of mind. The
dreams were an escape. But they were a
beautiful escape. An escape from what? he
asked himself. Scott did not know why he
was depressed. He hadn't known for the
past six lhonths. He imagined it was

because his dreams went unfulfilled, but
which came fIrst the dreams or the desire
to escape? Oh, it was too convoluted to
think about. Never mind. The sun was hot.
In fact, now it made him uncomfortable.
He would probably be uncomfortable for
the next few hours, until he got home and
could settle into a nice evening of depression with the television. Parents would be
out tongiht. Good. Bloody nuisance.
Yes, Scott sat idly around a lot wondering what to do while waiting to grow old
enough to get out of here. The show was
over. There was nothing more he could do .
His best friend had moved away and hardly ever wrote. he was alone, as usual. He
had only himself to blame, etcetera,
etcetera. The problem with having a family of psychologists, as Scott's family was,
was that he always knew the
psychoanalytic evaluation of his situation,
but was too listless to do aything about it.
How could he be depressed if he changed
his attitude? That would be risky. There is
security in depression.

that was all in the past. His new attitude
was an improvement, but was still numb
somehow. Comfortably numb. Another
dead end.
But he still had his dreams. They were
even more distant and he remembered
them even less often than before. But the
repository into which he had deposited his
spirit was secure, and he knew that
somehow, he was growing despite himself.
Where is the story going? What will
become of Scott? W.ell, he'll be allright. The
deathly horror of his youth would pass on
in a wave of bitter nostalgia, in regrets of
what he'd missed, but these memories too
would pass. Things had gotten worse before
they'd gotten better, and perhaps it would
be so again. But he was learning the value
of risks, and he knew, or perhaps he had
to believe, that his dreams were not just
the symbol of his own salvation, even if he
couldn't rempmber them, but they were
also his ticket to freedom.
Between optimism and pessimism, Scott
always chose optimism. It seemed like a
better gamble.

Images of Evergreen
by Ben Tansey
--One of the few remaining institutions
borne on a freak wave of hope and
open-mindedness
which
itself
dissipated as curiously as it ar?se.

~iJ1
·01

•

--An isolated pseudo-university where
is kept a menagerie of burned-out intellectuals feeding on each other's
brilliance
and
macltess.
--The last hope of mankind. The sanctuary where curators of the past will
preserve humanity's greatest works in
modern catacombs while the contemporary world is swept into a new age
of
darkness.

•

--The highest form of bureaucracy yet
achieved. Not just a monument to
bureaucracy, but a new model for it. A
truly unique experiment in which the
contradiction between trying to sup- .
port the individual and growing too big
to do so has given rise to the most incredible system-out-of-control that one
could
ever
hope
to
find.

II

--An example showing that if it really
wants to, a government 'can do
something right. A school that exists
by virtue of an extraordinary fluke as
a state college--a . dichotomy which
seems as though it will one day grow
too large for
the
UnIverse.
--A run-down bus terminal where
students who can think come to find a
transfer while they stand in line, t,"ying to decide what to think about.
'

--The only public school in the United
States where one can find instructors
who combine both a sincere interest in
their students with a pure openmindedness about how people learn.
--A place where it will take you so long
to find a person who you can both trust
and respect that your stunning
idealism will in fact be dealt a blow you
did not anticipate. A group of people
to be proud to admit defeat--a lace I
knew was too good to be true~

The Services and Activities Selection
Committee: Historically, the S & A Board has
been selected by the S & A coordinator. This
process has come under criticism for several
reasons, the foremost being that the selection
process lacks any means for community input and
that the board, being selected by one person,
may not be representative of the college community it serves.
The selection process for the incoming 1986-87
board will help alleviate these concersn, and help
produce a board that represents the college
community fairly, by creating a S & A Board
Selection Committee.
This committee will consist of two staff persons, the Dean of Student Development and the
