Perhaps it's the unusually warm and
sunny weather that's imbued our community with so much energy lately. Actually, though, I'd rather believe the
energy stems from a more interesting
and lasting source-I hope what I'm seeing is the Evergreen community truly
becoming politicized. '
There~s certainly enough happening
around here to justify my speculation.
For a terrific first item, the students'
protest against the HEC Board tests, was
certainly successful. Though it cost them
a few donuts, ·these activists did much to
thwart the piloting efforts since only
eight students chose to participate.
Then there's the graduation pledge
the CPJ recently wrote about. Yes, it's
probably controversial with some folks
(though I'm 110 percent for the pledge
myself and will participate in the action
- on-the bigaay)-;fl1e pOint is: stuaents-arethinking politically about the future in
real, concrete, "doable" terms.
WashPIRG is training people this
month to register voters and already .
they're interviewing people who will be
political all summer long.
EPIC is always on the move in political
matters, but it' s .sure a lot more obvious
with the group's boycott posters and registrars all over the CAB area.
I hope it's not a fad and we don't deenergize when the sun goes behind the
clouds or we encounter our next
bureaucratic lightening storm.

Community plans
war
by Pete Bohmer and Marijke van
Roojen
On Saturday, April 30th, 1988, there
will be demonstrations across the
United States to protest the continued
U.S. economic, political and military intervention in the affairs of Central
America. The Evergreen Community
will meet in Library 3500 at 3:00 pm
Sunday, April 24, to make formal plans.
On April 30th at 12 noon, the Pledge
of Resistance will host a large
demonstration and nonviolent direct
action at Ft. Lewis. Ft. Lewis has
been, and continues to be, an intergral
part of U.S. warfare and policy-in
YieLNanLan~lsD...JllOre recently..:-in-1983, the 75th Rangers, part of the
rapid deployment force, invaded
Grenada; the 864th Engineer Batallion
built airlanding strips in Honduras
near the Nicaraguan border and two
batallions are currently stationed
there.
By going to Ft. Lewis, we intend to
once again make clear our strong opposition to the war being waged in
Central America by the U.S. government. We demand a halt to U.S. intervention in other countries-in the
Central American nations, in Angola
and the Middle East-with particular
regard to our efforts to destabilize and
overthrow the government of
Nicaragua. We urge the people of our
country to put unrelentless pressure on
our government to support and not
underffiine seif-detenTIination for these
people and a nations.
We have requested the base commander to grant us access to Ft. Lewis
on that day to provide dialogue and
crucial informatoin to the servicemen
and women whose lives are profoundly effected by U.S. policy and increased military involvement in Central
America. A purpose of our action is to
fuirther expose these soldiers to the
terror, murder and destruction that
our government's activities bring to
the civilian population in that region.

}Vhose purposes are to halt U.S. intervention in Central America, end all
aid to the Contras, end all U.S. aid to
the governments of EI Salvador,
Guatemala and Honduras, and
withdraw all U.S. troops and military
presence from the area. We feel a deep
commitment to non-violent direct action as our mode of protest. We have
agreed to abide by the following nonviolent guidelines:
1) Our attitude will be one of openn~ss to all whom we encounter as we
engage in our witness against U.S. intervention in Central America.
2) We will use no violence, verbal or
physcial, towards any person.
~. -8) -W-€ will- fi{)t damage property-:- --
4) We will not bring or use any drugs
or alchohol other than for medicinal
purposes.
4) We will not run.
5) We will carry no weapons.
In Olympia, people interested in
caravaning to the base will meet at the
Capitol Lake Parking Lot at 9:00 am.
We will join with the Tacoma caravan
and proceed to the base. For people
unable to participate in the caravan,
join us at noon at the Dupont Gate of
Ft. Lewis, Exit 119 off Interstate 5.

and Conflict Resolution Center at the
Evergreen State College (TESC),

UMOJA leaders plan trip
by Suzette Williams
•
Eight members of UMOJA,
Evergreen's Black student organization, will travel to a leadership conference in Washington, D.C. on April
28. They will return May 1.
The 20th Anniversary Conference
and Speical Tribute to John Henrick
Clarke is sponsored by the African
Heritage Studies Association. It will be
held at Howard University, one of the
nation's oldest predominantly AfricanAmerican colleges. The theme for the
conference is "Leadership and
Development in the African World: A
Pan African Perspective."
The conference will be attended by
college students from around the country. UMOJA will vote tomorrow to
decide which students will attend from
Evergreen, but Celina Lilly, Alana
Jones and Evan Schumpert are
students that have already been
chosen. Lilly and Schumpert are cocoordinators of UMOJA.
On the second day of the conference,
says Lilly, "there will be panels dealing with issues in the African American
community." Panel topics include; dealing economically with the situation in
South Africa, getting more black high
school graduates to attend college and
black leadership.
The conference also features a performance by the Dance Troupe of
Harlem and an appearance by
Margaret Avery, the actress who
played singer Sugar Avery in The Color Purple. Professionals from print and
audio media, as well as from Black
Entertainment Television will give
presentations.
The students attending hope to gain
a greater perspective of African
American culture and to be around
other black students.
Lilly says, "a lot of students coming
from the Evergreen State College have
never been around an African
American community." Jones echoes,
this feeling, saying, "It's a great opportunity for me to learn about my
culture."
6
Lilly also hopes to learn more about
black history. "The only thing you hear
about blacks is we go from the ships to
slavery to the Civil Rights Movement.
We had history and culture and beliefs
before they came over and got us. We
need to learn about prominent people
.
before Dr. King," she explains.
UMOJA hopes to send returning.
students to the conference so they can
bring new leadership skills back to
Evergreen.

"The thing you have to understand
about the SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) program, which makes all of
these talks so confusing is that the program is not a coherent technology pro- ·
gram in the sense you might expect.
They way one might approach a
challenging technological program is to
first, decide if it is feasible or
reasonable to attempt, and then decide
how to do it, and then do it. SDI has
not proceeded in this way. The buzzword for what is missing is an
architecture. "
With these words Professor
Johnathan ~acky, a member of computer Professionals for Social Responsibilty began his discussion of SDI on
April 12 at Evergreen. He was invited .
to give a presentation as a part of the
Business of Computers discussion of
U.S. governmel1t technology policy and
issues. 'The auidence was suprisingly
sparse, but attentive .
What is SDn SDI is a jumble of
technological idease being developed in
an attempt to find a method of
shielding the United States from
Soviet ballistic missiles. The term
"ballistic missile" comes from the fact
that these intercontinental missiles
follow a path much like a buIle-r.- - "It seems clear that if you want a
compre~ensive defense, that is one
who's aim is to protect most of the people and property in the United States
your choice of technologies is restricted
somewhat," Professor Jacky continued.
"In partiCUlar you need to develop
some kind of boost-phase intercept. A
boost-phase intercept is a kind of
weapon that attacks missiles as they
are being launched. The boo~t~phase in- .
tercept is also a very old idea. It was
taught in the late 50's, which was the
time wh~n the Soviets were first
developing missiles capable of striking
the United States. Needless to say, the
prospect of facing a lot of Soviet
missiles which would be able to hit
targets in the
within a half-hour
or so was pretty terrifying at that time,
as it remains today. It was the thing
you might expect someone to say, "oh
can't we have a satellite or something
that when a Soviet missile was launched will shoot it down or perhaps even
collide with it?" That is the boost-phase
intercept idea.
"Basically what happens whenever
anyone suggests this is that people say,
'that will never work because ... ' and
proceed to give a list of reasons why
it might not work. These reasons fall
into three classes.
"The first class of reasons is that to
have a satellite that happens to be in
place when the missle is being launched from some unpredicted location on
the earth's surface you need a large
number of satellites. You need to
essentially cover the earth's surface
with satellites so that one will be handy when the launch occurs. This·is bad
. news for the defense. In particular, you
need all of these satellites even to defend against the first missilf;!. 'This
argument has never changed, I don't
believe there has ever been a good
-answer.
-- -"The second class of objections to the
space idea has to do 'with the physics
of the gun or of the projectile or the collision itself. It gets into the details of
how do ~short range attack rockets, so
.called "smart rocks," work' how do
lasers work; and what are the limitations on these, and what they weigh,
and so on.
"The third objection deals with the
command, ~d control of such a system.
How are the satellites going to know
when 'an enemy launch has occurred,
. how are they going to make a decision,
that they should be activated, how are
they going to pick out the targets, if
u.s.
you have more then one satellite how
are you going to make sure that they
don't all gang up on one target and
leave all the rest of them to go on, and
on and on and on." .
Professor Jacky then spent much of
the next 40 minutes explaining some of
the many problems with the command
and control of the SDI program. He used examples of current command and
control systems to show how difficult
it would be to build a system which
operated without bugs. Because of the
~ecessary reaction, response time for
SDI initiation, about 30 secOnds or less,
a single bug in the SDI system could
have devestating consquences.
After Professor Jacky's talk, Mr.
John Finnan of the Thurston County
Coalition to Stop Star Wars spoke. His
part of the discussion was even more
frightening then Professor Jacky's. He
brought a special umbrella which had
95 percent of its surface removed and
showed it to the audience. Ninety-five
percent is about 10 percent better than
the best SD I pr9ponents claim can be
done. A p~rson using that umbrella
would get very, very wet. Because of
the'total strategic absurdity of the idea
of SPI, Mr. Finnan argued that SDI is
being produced as a defensive system
afte~ an American-fl1'St-strike..
The entire discussion was videotaped
so that it would be available for future
audiences. If you are interested in
knowing more about the issues, please

Ever~en faculty, or Mr. John Finnan, Coordinator, Thurston County

I N FACT leads GE
by Tim Russell
During this week of informative
events, INFACT, the grassroots
organization that has spearheaded the
national GE boycott campaign (with 2.5
million people boycotting in just two
years), will be working to sign on the
majority of students, faculty and staff,
here at Evergreen. This will be the
fIrst time that the people within an
academic institution will be taking this
kind of crucial step, to stop GE's involvement in the military-Industrial
complex and reverse the arms race.
As volunteers have begun to sign
people on the GE Boycott in the CAB,
many questions have been posed from
the students, faculty and staff here at
Evergreen. While there have been
mild cases of apathy and ambivalence,
there have also been some well
thought-out questions which deserve
well thought-out answers.
Questions have ranged anywhere
from simple requests for a list of GE
products to avoid, to demanding an explanation of the workings of SDI. But
by far the most frequently posed question, is "why boycott just GE, there
are so many other weapons
constractors?"
As was discussed in the January 21
issue of the CPJ,' it is important to
make clear that while INF ACT has
launched the Nuclear Weaponmakers
Campaign with a focus on GE, a
primary goal of the campaign is to build
public awareness of the role that all
nuclear we~pons c-arporations play in
the military-industrial complex. Public
awareness and direct economic
pressure are the means through which
we can slow the momentum of the arms
race.
Lt. Commander William Withrow
(Ret.), who now works for the Center
for Defense Information, recently
stated, "I believe the GE Boycott will
, be successful because it will make the
American public aware of the facts.
And that will be the beginning to the
end for the nuclear weapons industry."
Already, three major weapons contractors have felt that pressure and left
the industry. Monsanto and Union Carbide have decided that it would be '
more cost efficient not to renew contracts in the nuclear weapons industry.
More recently, Dow Chemical has
declined to renew their contract at the
Savannah River plutonium producing
plant for many of the same reasons.
These changes in corporate policy are
a direct result of the pressure that the
public is bringing to bear on military
contractors.
But I have still ieft the question
unanswered: "Why GE?" There are
numerous answers to this question
each one further concluding that on top
of being a major weapons contractor,
" ... GE is a prime example of how
weaponmakers have influenced _and
shaped the development of nuclear
weapons policies and strategy for over40 years," states INF ACT's recent
publication.
A few of these examples are:
1) GE has been involved in nuclear
weapons production as far back as the
testing of the fIrst bomb.
-GE was the fIrst contractor to run
Hanford.
-GE had a representative on the Stimson Committee, to advise Truman
when and where to drop the bomb.
2) GE' s board of directors is a good
example of coorporate connections for
power and profIt and the revolving
door. To name just two of the nineteen:
-David Jones, Ret. Chairman of the
Joint
Chiefs
of
Staff.
-William French Smith, Ronald
, Reagan's first Attorney General.
3) GE is ranked as the thil"d-highest
defense contractor with contracts totaling $5.8 billion in fIscal 1987.
4) GE is also the tenth largest 'Star
Wars' contractor.
These are just a few of the reasons
why General Electric, "The Good
Things Company" was chosen as the
target company. Certainly another major concern which deserves further
elaboration, is Jack Welch's (GE CEO)
labor relations (orlack there of). It will
suffice to say, quoting Business Month,
. March 1988, " ... he has closed 73 plants
and facilities and eliminated 131,000
jobs through divestiture, attrition,
dismissal, and contract buy-outs, earning him the moniker Neutron Jack,
boycott
after the bomb that destroys people
but leaves buildings standing."
I hop~ this short essay may have
answered some of your questions about
the campaign, and why GE. If there
are other questions which I have skipped over, and I'm sure there are, or if
you are interested in fInding out how
you can help put pressure on the
nuclear weapons industry, please call

GE: There are alternatives
by Lillian Ford
GE has a long history in the Northwest, marked heaviest by its operation of Hanford Nuclear Reservation
from 1946 to 1964. GE became prime
contractor at Hanford following WWII;
in doing so, it took over the town of
Richland, where the 51,000 Hanford
workers and family members lived. It
hired its own police force, and paid the
city police's wages; it rented out homes
and leased commerical properties; it required all businesses to gain its permission to operate and to tithe the company. Workers were thwarted in
unionizing attempts, and black people
were denied employment except as
construction workers who lived in
segregated temporary -camps. GE-Hanford's effect spread well
beyond Richland. Leaky, thin-walled
drums and even 'cardboard boxes
dumped in open pits have seriously
contaminated the soil and have made
the Columbia the most radioactive

June Casey was one of the human
subjects of this experiment. While a
student at nearby Walla Walla, June's
hair fell out (it has yet to return) and
she began feeling lethargic soon after
. the tests. Later she lost two childrenone a miscarriage and one a stillbirth.
When the reports of the 1949 release
were disclosed in 1986, June confronted
GE's Board at their annual stockholder
meeting. They, of course, denied
responsibilty. However, they do not
deny their role in creating nearly half
the nation's weapons-grade plutonium.
This stockpile of apocalyptic power affects everyone: it punctures the
dreams of middle-class American
, pubescents; it keeps Kenyans in the
Del Monte fIelds, black South Africans
in jail and Palestinians in refugee
camps. It kills many already and gives
a few the ability of ultimate blackmail.
GE left Hanford in 1964, yet they
maintain a strong presence in the Northwest. An operator working GE's tollfree information line (1-800-626-2000)
counted 63 GE offices in the state. She
refused to count the additional franchises, service outlets and independent
dealers, but said there were sixteen
within a 35 mile radius of the
Westside of Olympia.
However, we needn't look farther
than Bayview to find a piece of the
company. Light bulbs, extension conis,
hair dryers, alarm clocks all bear the
GE swastika. GE's subsidiary, RCA,
has its stamp on records and audio'videa equipment: if you watch NBC (an
RCA affIliate) you'll be talked at by a
GE employee.
Despite its wide reach, boycotting
GE is definitely doable. In fact, the
world would be fairly simple if it was
the only company needing a boycott•
However, many alternatives to GE
products are produced by equally offensive corporations. Nonetheless, I'll
end this piece with an abbreviated list
of alternative brands (in bold type) to
products - made
by
nuclear
corporations-and some products to
avoid:

They find support among their peers

Bible. "They think Christianity supports the exploitation of nature and the
destruction of earth and it supports
man using the earth however he wants.
I don't think the Bible gives us the
right to go and destroy everything for
our own purposes. They're not really
looking carefully enough, they have the
wrong view and they really believe
that's what the Bible means. It's hard
for me to tell them no, that's not what
it really means."·
"What I find in my program," said
Chris Bader, "is that anytime anyone
tries to make any kind of statement
they don't really have the backing of
facts for, everybody just jumps right
on them. When it comes to the Bible, they'll make the most general assumptions and riot even think twice about it.
I asked a person after class have you
ever read it (t.hf:~·Rible). because it's obvious that you don't believe it or you
don't believe me. He said no, he just
never wanted to take the time. I said
not to assume it's just wrong and it's
an important enough thing that I think
you should take the time. But people
don't feel like they need to, they just
make these mass assumptions, these
huge generalizations but they never
even try to back them up or never even
give the Bible a chance."
"There's an old saying that you can't

that some people don't pick it up
enough."

your life to Him; you know he gave His

"It's an active relationship," said

Woofer needs
actors
by Janis Byrd
Young and old alike are in for a treat
when local playwright Bryan Willis's
Woofer The Psychic Dog makes its
West Coast premiere late next month.
But long before the premiere, Willis
said he'd like to recruit local actors for
the production. Audition are planned
for 7:00 pm May 3. He's looking for 10
actors: men and women of all ages.
"I want to get Evergreen actors, and
of course," Willis add~d, "I want an
Evergreen aticlienee. -Raised locally, Willis went to New
York td'tget his start where he wrote
and produced two plays off Broadway.
Woofer was co-written by Willis a~d
two fellow students-the play was wntten while they worked towards their
master degrees at New York
University.
Wooferis a funny show, but has plenty of social commentary, according to
Willis. Using a minimum of sets,
Willis said the play is theater work that
focuses on acting.
"Woofer is a real crowd pleaser.
There are two kinds of people in the
world: those who don't like it, and
those who love it." With a smile, Willis
added that everyone loves a love-story
with traditional good-guys and badguys.
Willis' maintains that the story has
plenty to challenge Evergreen social
theorisits, yet is fun enough to please
children.
"It's whimsical, yet has great meaning," he said.

four members of the original cast will

The general agreement among the
group was that society as a whole is
very antagonist ic towards the Bible
and Christianity. "America is supposed to be in God we trust," said Sean.
"But that doesn't happen at all really.
Do we really trust in God? It's on our
bills, but is it really in our hearts?"
"I just hear excuse after excuse not
to pick it (the Bible) up and look at it,"
said Chris Bader. "Keep it out of the
schools, keep it out of the government.
Oh, some council re-wl'ote it, oh, old
men wrote it, (or) it's out dated it has
nothing to do wth me. I mean, I see a
lot of excuses and a lot of people afraid
to pick it up, because when you pick it
up and if you believe it, it's going to
change your life." _.. Strengthening their faith in Christianity had a tremendous effect on the
quality of their lives. "There are good
reasons why we believe," said
Christopher. "It's not just a whim. It's
not just something that was handed to
us by our parents or our grandparents,
although for some of us a real part of
it is the family. I t took me a life time
of searching to see. You know it wasn't
like I just went into a dime store and
picked up a little pamphlet and said
okay I'm a Christian. It was 15 years
of real search, real questioning."
"My life is so much Letter, happi:r."
said Renee, "I have hope, I have JOY,
I have peace, I have love, I have purpose, I have somebody who love~e
all the time, and-it does ·cnange your
life. "
"I didn't think I had an emptiness at
all, but I found that I did later," said
Chris Magnusson, "and it's something
in a lot of ways tremendously subtle.
The more I think about it and hear
abut it, the more I realize the sublties
of believing in Jesus; but it's also.
something very profound and obvious
to me too."
