Editor's note:
This week we rejected an ad from
the U.S. military. This has never
been done before by the JOURNAL,
and there is a possibility we may be
forced to accept these advertisements in the future.
The CPJ publishing policy states
that the editors may reject ads .
"determined... to be in conflict with
institutional standards and values as
outlined in the Evergreen Administrative Code, the Evergreen
Social Contract, or as approved by
the college Board of Trustees."
I t is the interpretation of the
editors that the structure and the
philosophy of the military violate
our Social Contract and offend our
readership. This is not the opinion
of the administration. Perhaps it is
not your opinion. In any case, I
understand that if we were to reject
their ad on this basis, the military
could likely take us to court and
would likely win a First Amendment case. Apparently, it is more
difficult for a state institution to reject a military ad t~an a private one.
We were Ultimately able to reject
the ad on the basis that the U.S.
military may violate our Affinnative
Action policy by its discrimination
against homosexuals. An article
given to us by the LG RC today
presents documented evidence of
this; in a piece titled, "West Point
Boots Women Accused of Lesbianism," (Gay Community News,
10-12-86) the author cites "chapter
15 of Anny regulation 635-200,
which deals with dismissals including those for homosexuality and
homosexual acts."
However, a personnel office of the
Navy told Polly today, "The government never discriminates against
anybody."
We mayor may not be able to prove that they are in violation of our
standards and values. For now, the
ad was rejected on the basis that we
need time to find out.
Thankfully, Gail Martin has not
pulled rank on me. If indeed the
armed forces do not violate our institutional standards and values,
then we may face a lawsuit if we
continue
to refuse
their
advertisements.
In forming a policy for the future,
it is vital that we receive your
thoughts and opinions on this matter. Does the CPJ insult you by denying you the opportunity to view
a military ad and judge it accordingly? Or, do we insult you by forcing
you to view one no matter how offensive you (md it? It is critical that
you let us know.

Dear Editor and CPJ
I've been attentively reading the CPJ
since April 1984 and its quality has never
approached that of this quarter.
Your new layout (including the new
graphics and fonnat) is clear and attractive.
Your editing, which has often seemed
nonexistent in the past, has improved to a
level not often found in undergraduate college newspapers.
And your method of using your brains
while unapologetically insisting that others
do the same is admirable. I like your
attitude.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks are .due to everyone on campus
for making our· compliance with the
Washington Clean Indoor Air Act a working rewity. Smokers and non-smokers alike
have been thoughtful, responsive and
supportive.
This is not just a reminder that smoking

To: Campus Community
CPJ:
"Not All Men Have Snake-Like Hands"
is a very painful and angry poem; it speaks
of 'things' too ugly to think about. These
'things' rewly happen and gay people must
live with this reality. The purpose, I
believe, of the October 23 CPJ was to promote understanding between the homosexual and heterosexual communities. Often,
the price of understanding is great.
Sometimes it hits us where we are most
vulnerable, before our defenses are up and
we cry "foul," which talks more about the
rules of the game than how it feels_
Mter reading Schwenk's poem I felt my
guts wrenched yet I knew I was richer for
the experience. If enough people talk about
how a poem like this makes them feel, there
would eventually be no need to write poems
like this.
Smoking is off limits in meeting rooms,
lecture halls,classrooms, hallways,
stairwells, elevators, rest rooms, office
reception areas... all general public use
spaces . .
Smoking lounges have been created for
informal use by staff, students and faculty
smokers. Smoking lounges are not to be used for seminars or scheduled group
meetings. Please be sensitive to smokers,
especially staff members on tighter time
schedules, who use the Library lounges for
morning and afternoon breaks.
Thanks for your cooperation,
Yours sincerely,

To the Editors of the CPJ:
.
I was shocked to find in your article,
"Choices, a Guide to the November 4 Elections," that you failed to include the other
candidate running for U.S. Senate for the
state of Washington. I could not believe you
would overlook the wternative to the
RepUblican and Democratic Party candidates. The third candidate running was
a woman on the Socialist Workers' Party
platform. It would seem to me that
Evergreen would provide information of an
wternative choice? Is this what Evergreen
is leaning toward? A cut and dried position
with no alternatives?

CPJ:
Andrew Schwenk and the CPJ poetry
staff have received some harsh criticism for
the CPJs 10123 printing of Andrew's poem,
"Not All Men Have Snake-Like Hands."
Among the criticism, R.S. Channing state.d
that the piece was "trash" and that It
"created wounds" instead ofpromoting further understanding of the lives and ex. periences of homosexual people.
As a heterosexual who is somewhat
aware ofhomosexuw issues/experiences, I
felt the wrenching poem, yes, R.S., poem,
heightened my sensitivity and awareness,
the understanding of one painful aspect of
homosexuwity: ~Nlression by the _mostly..:
white-, straight-mwe system. To shelter
straights from this reality is a di~rvice to
creating a deeper understanding and acceptance of the lives and experiences of the
homosexual community.
Sincerely,
Charles "Jesus Christ" Lynch

ANALYSIS
who I am~·t
"I feel I have to change
o be accepted at this
•
by Jennifer Seymore
A couple weeks ago a story blew into our office which gave us
quite a shock, because it appeared to substantiate a myth we
thought too cartoonish to be true.
The piece was titled "Freshman Gripes" and detailed how:
Evergreen's new class of Freshmen have voiced complaints concerning the so-called Evergreen "mind-set." "It's a bunch of
pretentious hippies and reactionary liberals, " said on frosh ... "I
feel I have to change who ~ am to be accepted at this school. I came
to Evergreen because I thought I could get a very good education,
but because of the locaticrn I am forced to socialize with my
classmates, who tend to be narrow-minded and unrealistic, " said
another first year student.
The article explained how the college prides itself on diversity
although the freshmen question the reality of this ideal:
"Everybody is the same. Tie-dye and the Grateful Dead and patchouli and sandals and liberal politics and peace petitiCYnS, " said
a disgruntled newcomer.
Yet the most startling idea in the article was this: Some have
speculated that there is a different type of student coming to the
college: a student who views Evergreen not as an alternative, ut
as an established institution with respected credentials. This student is faced with the dilemma of an alternative envircrnment and
finds it hard to cope. One frosh from the east coast added, "I am
finding it hard to deal with the politics of the school's students.
I expected something different."
The author recommends that distraught students seek support
at the counseling center.
Because this piece attributed none of its quotes, and because
the one fact it cited (on attrition rates) was unresearched and untrue, we were unable to print it. Yet the proverbial can of worms
had its top blown off, and questions abounded. Are the freshmen
rp.ally like this? Are we really like that? Is the alternative spirit
of Evergreen in jeopardy? Most importantly, how far does
tolerance extend on campus?
An appropriate place to begin is with statistics.

In School
Faculty member Andrew Hanfman, here since 1972, is currently teaching in the Core Program, "Art, Literature and Music: New
Beginnings." I have included some of his comments on Evergreen
students over the years: "I think it is a valid observation that (in
the earlier years) you got a more rebellious type of student.
Statistically, I believe, there were not a large number of students
direct from high school, but mainly transfers. There were certainly
smaller numbers of Northwest and Washington students.
"There was a more assertive attitude in the students; they were
more active, and certainly more vocal about what they wanted.
That, as you know, ebbed gradually away. Now, I think, we have
a very tame group; politically, there is no radicalism at all. I do
miss that kind of intellectual ferment and challenge, even if it does
grow a little irritating."
, _..)
"tAs a faculty, it's easier to work with these students, though
I'm not as challenged. I don't see very much initiative. Now, that
is not necessarily characteristic of all the students, though I have
a suspicion they expect to be led. A typical question is, 'What
should I write?' or 'What do you expect me to say?' "
"I don't know whether six weeks is enough for me to make these
types of generalizations, but they seem diligent, accurate; I'm surprised how seriously they have taken my warnings to attend
seminar and present their papers on time. They are terribly
apologetic if they miss a day."
"I must say I do miss certain things. In a sense it's pleasant
to work with them, because it's not difficult, but it's not a
challenge; to know that your students are diligently recording your
every word during lecture, in order that they may throw it back
in your face is a challenge to your thinking."
"One thing has not changed in the last ten or fIfteen years,"
says Andrew, citing his students' poor writing skills. "I see no
way in which we can excuse what the high schools do not do. I'm
commenting not so much on the students as on the way in which
they have been so-called 'educated' before they came here. This
.
.,'
IS very wornsome.
The average GPA of this year's freshman entering from high
school was 3.10, higher than it's ever been. Similar rises were seen
in transfers enteriJlg from community colleges and 4-year
institutions.
Statistical evidence and general impressions seem to suggest
that indeed the new students are younger, more "studious" in
a traditional sense, more conservative politically, and less likely
to stir up a ruckus. Yet, as we should know, these types of
generalizations are not all-conclusive; to gain my own impression
of the fIrst year students, I attended seminar with some of them,
and interviewed many randomly chosen freshmen.
Speaking for Themselves
"I don't think it's as liberal or as radical as I thought it would
be at all," says Shawn Lawlor, freshman. "People aren't as
politically aware as they should be."
Amy Lynn Parker agrees. "I expected it to be very liberal, but
I find that as I meet individuals, it isn't so liberal, though the
overall outlook (of Evergreen) is. People themselves aren't
sometimes. "
Another freshman told me, "I'm not very politically involved;
I'd like to learn more about it."
When asked to describe themselves in political terms, answers
ranged from "way left" to "moderate:-" Most freshmen I spoke with felt that Evergreen was an accepting environment, "There's no pressure to fit a certain mold," said
Catherine Hesik. "There are a lot of different groups but people
will talk to you from wherever."
Steve Eastwood agrees. "I don't think there's pressure to be
a certain way. I think there's room to be an do whatever you
want."
Statistics
This year's freshman class contains 326 students direct from high
school- that figure is up 27.8% since last year. However as Steve
Hunter, director of institutional research, puts it, "We've been
forced in recent years to tum students away... In the absence of
changes in admissions requirements, the strategy was to move
the deadline forward, last year by three months. In my estimation we turned away something in the order of .400 transfer
students. The only discriminating factor was postmark." High
school students tend to apply earlier, so the hike in younger applicants was not necessarily engineered by the people on the third
floor. However, according to Arnaldo Rodriguez, director of enrollment services, "I think we can and probably should grow a little
bit more in the area of high school directs. I think what that does
is diversify our student body; what are we, 50% over 25? I think
v we have some room to grow."

How tolerant are we?
Talking with the '86 freshmen:
hundred fqrty six of their 589 customers are freshmen. To get an
idea of the collective behavior of this group, I spoke with Linda
Hohman, assistant director of Housing. According to her, alcohol
abuse is "definitely on the rise," though drug use has declined
somewhat. "Vandalism -is down since last year, but it seems what .
we do have is 'petty vandalism' -- not overly destructive."
As far as the character of the new students, "I think we're getting more traditional, more like traditional schools. When I visit
other schools, people look the same as they do here," says Linda.
"J think there has been a change in times nationwide; I think
students are getting more conservative again, not as risky. More
studious, maybe."
Steve Hunter has actually been able to chart the Evergreen student's swing from "left" to "moderate" over the years. Questionnaires administered to students during registration nationwide
ask for opinions on a variety of issues. Says Steve, "Over time
-- say '73 to '83 -- you can see a trend where fewer of our students
are characterized as "far left;" however, when you compare our
students with the rest of the nation, we are consistently on the
left... Our relation to students nationwide has remained
unchanged."

"I feel comfortable here, I feel accepted," said Tom Kerns.
Although Kaarin Mott finds the college to be basically tolerant,
she thinks there is somewhat of a G"eener stereotype, and
pressure surrounding that "in a very subtle way. Some people
who are different than that are having problems."
Erik Gressetch came to Evergreen at the same time as some
friends from high school. When asked about this pressure, he said,
"I think there's a little of that. A lot of my friends have dressed
and acted differently than when we went to high school. But
overall, you can be any way you want. A lot of the pressure comes
from the individuals themselves who want to fit in."

" ... Changes are going to be necessary."
says Arnaldo Rodriguez, head
of enrollment services, referring to the admissions processes
and requirements. As Steve
Hunter said, "We've been forced in recent years to tum away
students. When you're faced
with that, you think, 'What
logic do we apply, given our
mission . and philosophy?"
... The decisions we make
about who is included affect the
teaching and learning environment. As long as we're faced
with our funding situation,
we'll continue to make those
kinds of decisions."
Two groups on campus will
be looking at t~e "Who do we
take?"issue this year. The
Enrollment Coordinating Committee (ECC) is a standing
body which deals with enro!lment, recruitment, and retention of students, and which
basically decides on the image
presented in the catalog. "If
necessary," says Arnaldo, a
member of the ECC, "We
make recommendations to the
president or to the appropriate
offices at the college to
facilitate achieving the goals
The ECC is curhave set."

Arnaldo at x6310 if you're

Of perhaps more immediate
importance this year will be
the as-yet-uncharged Admissions Policy and Procedures
DTF.
In a draft of the charge
Patrick Hill writes: "The
future mix of students at the
college ... will play an important
role in defining the institution
over the next several years. A .
variety of developments ... suggest to me that the college
should define the mix of
students that best matches our
curricular and pedagogical
resources and then, assess our
admissions policy and procedures in light of that definition." Patrick lists such
developments as record rates
of application, recommendations in the Strategic Plan and
from the ECC to review admissions policy, and a stressed
curriculum.

Officer fired for
being white?
Is The Evergreen State College guilty of
discrimination?
An Olympia man, whose job with Security at Evergreen lasted only one day, has
fIled a discrimination suit against the school
and several administrators. Terry Hunter
was hired after it was determined he was
the most qualified applicant for the position.
He quit his job with Sears to assume his
job with Security. Hunter reported for
work October 15, and was told after one day
that his job had been terminated.
Gary Russell, Chief of Security, allegedly told Hunter he was being fIred because
he is a white male, and other Evergreen administrators had decided the job should go
to a woman or minority. Named in the suit
are Russell; Gail Martin, vice president of
student affairs; and Rita Cooper, personnel director. The suit, filed on the 27th of
October in Thurston County Superior
Court, demands re-instatement to the job,
and general and punitive damages for
discrimination.

Student raped
Wednesday night

An Evergreen student was attacked and
raped as she walked from the mods to her
dorm room at around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday
morning November 5. According to Detective Joe Vukich of the Thurston County
Sheriff's Department, the woman was approached from behind and forced to the
ground by a white male, 6' 2", 160 to 200
pounds, with dark brown hair and a
mustache. The victim sustained bruises but
did not receive medical treatment.
Sergeant Larry Savage of Campus
8ecurity stated that details are coming in
slowly. "We're working with the county on
this," said Savage, "but there are still some
questions to be answered."
,
Savage mentioned an incident reported
Friday night, October 31, that may be connected. "Somebody reported seeing a girl,
very upset, With her underclothing around
her knees, walking from the mods to the
dorms," said Savage. "Now this mayor '
may not have been a rape, but if it was a
rape, and it wasn't reported, and it was the
same guy, we've got a problem."
Security is asking anyone that may have
information concerning either incident to
contact them at 866-6000,x6140 immediately. "If someone has been approached, or if
anyone knows someone who has been approached, or if anyone remembers seeing
a person that night that matches the
description, we would like to know," said
Savage.
Sergeant Savage also emphasized that
students should exercise caution in the '
meantime. He advises women not to walk
alone after dark anywhere on campus. Campus Security does offer an escort program
for students and staff, but because of the
increased demand, students should expect
a delay before Security is able to respond.

Evergreen buys from
non-divested
•
companies
Recently, certain controversies have
arisen with respect to Evergreen's relationship to companies which are involved in
South Mrica. These concerns centered
around SAGA, the school's food service
outlet; and Shell Oil.
As it happens, however, SAGA is not,
repeat is not, involved in South Mrica.
Irene Syrnyk, an attorney for Marriott Corporation, of which SAGA is a subsidiary,
recently sent a letter to SAGA district
manager Randy Hayden explaining that
Marriott "decided to withdraw its business
operations in South Mrica" and that the
last of their employees left that country in
October. Copies of the letter were received at Evergreen.
.
As for Shell Oil, it is true that the school
uses Shell Oil credit cards, as well as cards
from Chevron, Texaco, and Union '76.
Chevron and Texaco are on the list Qf companies which have assets and employees in
South Mrica and Namibia, which is com.
piled by the non-profIt organization Africa
Furul.
The most recent list available for this article is over a year old, but the same one
is used by Evergreen's investment coordinators to monitor their adherence to the
Board of Trustees January 1985 revision of
the investment policy which allows investment "only in companies or financial institutions which do not conduct business inlwith
or maintain direct involvement with nations
~hich by their laws violate human rights."
James Duncan, Director of General Sere
vices at Evergreen, explained that the investment policy holds that Evergreen is not
to invest directly with non-divested companies, but that this does not preclude making purchases from such companies.

she said. She added that there was no policy
in the works that she knew of.
If the state of Washington were to enact
a sanction/divestment resolution, as has the
federal government and ' 20 other states,
then Evergreen would have precedent for
refusing to buy products from companies
supportive of apartheid.
The fmancial policies of the school as
regards South Africa were discussed at
length at a recent vice president's staff
meeting. The administration is concerned
about the issue.

Evergreen makes purchases either from
suppliers which are solicited, or from suppliers with which ther~ is a running contract to supply goods. These contracts are
negotiated by the Division of Purchasing
Office of the General Administration
Department of Washington State. All state
entities, including Evergreen, can make
purchases from these suppliers on contract.
With one-time purchases, the college
always buys from the supplier who submits
the lowest bid, regardless of the bidder's
South African ties. The same is essentially
true for contract suppliers. Where the
state, and thus Evergreen, has several contract suppliers of the same goods, the school
is free to choose among them. Whether or
not the school can legally make those decisions based on political considerations is an
issue which Sue Washburn, vice president
of development and general services, has
taken to Evergreen's lawyer, Assistant
Attorney-General Richard Montecucco. She
is currently awaiting his response.
The State of Washington, which makes
some purchasing arrangements for
Evergreen, currently has no policy on rejecting business on the basis of that com·
pany's political ties, according to Mary
Faulk, Director of the Department of
Ge:r:t.e.ral Administration. "We have not had
any instruction from the legislature- or
governor's office (concerning) this issue,"

The Career Development Center,
Academic Advising, and KEY Services will
be sponsoring a workshop for new
Evergreen students November 5th, from
1-3 p.m. in LIB 1612. The workshop, entitled Subject to Change ... A Place to Start for
the Academic and Career Undecided, will
address some of the uncertainty about
choosing programs, and academic and
career plans, according to Joyce Weston,
director of Career Development.
'
Freshmen and new transfer students will
soon be receiving a letter inviting them to
the workshop. "It is designed to help
students figure out how they can get the
most out of their Evergreen experience,"
says Weston. The workshop will last ap, proximately two hours and will examine
academic ' planning strategies as well as

"Many students fmd themselves wondering if Evergreen is really the right college
and may be confused about their programs," says Weston. "This workshop will
ease their fears and set them in the right
direction. "
"This could be one of the most important,
yet briefest experiences in the
undergraduate education," adds Weston.
Students who attend should bring a copy
positions and has a November 14 application deadline. They also offer one paid position for a summer photographer intern; the
deadline is January 9, 1987. In addition, the
Times offers one quarterly minority journalist internship with a winter quarter application deadline of November 21.
Susan Ramsauer, a Coop. Ed counselor,
says that interested students should call for
an appointment at x6391 for more specific
information about the application processes.
She can also give an evaluation of the
suitability of these programs to the student's academic goals.

Sergeant Larry Savage, in charge of investigation at Security, is working fervently to recover seven thousand dollars in computer equipment stolen from Evergreen the
weekend of October 11.
As reported by Provost Patrick Hill in
the CPJ (October 23), two computers and
two printers were stolen from the computer
lab in the library building. At present, Al
Saari of Central Repair Service has received two security devices for safeguarding
equipment. If they prove to be trustworthy, they will be installed on all of the computers and related devices.
While the equipment still hasn't been
recovered, Sergeant Savage is fairly confident about the case. With the aid of the
Thurston County Sheriff, he believes that
with time, the whole mystery will unravel.
He requests that all students keep their
ears and eyes open. He says that the majority of these cases are solved by word of
mouth. He has already received anonymous
tips, but he can't use that infonp.ation, yet.
If someone who is scared of retaliation .!an
provide information and a good reaso~ not
to become public, the court may still allow
a search warrant to be issued.

Sergeant Savage said that one specific
person called on a weekend when he wasn't
present. If that person would call again, the
Sergeant has some general questions that
could protect the anonymous tipper's identities and still give him the information he
needs to solve the case. There is still a one
hundred dollar reward offered to whomever
can supply information leading to the solution of the case. Please call Security at
x6140 if you have even a scrap of data.

Law school fair
•
coming
up
The Career Development Office will host
Evergreen's first Law School Fair,
Wednesday, November 12, from 3-5 p.m. on
the second floor Library Lobby.
The fair is scheduled early enough so that
all students who are planning to attend law
school next fall will have ample time to explore the vanous law programs and to meet
application and financial aid deadlines. Most
law school and financial aid applications are
due in February and March.
According to Roy Watters, co-coordinator
of the fair, "Many law schools are particularly interested in Greeners because of
their ability to work independently and
think clearly. Lewis and Clark College officials stressed that Evergreen students are
desired because Lewis and Clark law
students are required to design their last
two years of study, something Greeners
already know how to do."
Law school representatives will be
prepared to discuss the specifics of their
program, preferred undergraduate
preparation, career options in the legal profession, intern and research opportunities,
fmancial aid resources, and any other unique aspects of their school which might be
of interest to Evergreen students.
The following schools will send their Law
School Program representatives:
Northeastern University, University of
Washington, Lewis and Clark College,
University of Oregon, ITT Chicago Kent ·
College, Willamette University, University of Puget Sound, ~d Gonzaga University.
If you need any more infonnation or need
to pick up a LSAT packet, go to the Career

Grads help dig
African wells
Using technologies designed by the ancient Chinese and the latest in lightweight
portable handpumps, Evergreen graduate
Cliff Missen ('85) and his wife, Carolyn
Johnson, spent the first half of 1986 training villagers in the remote areas of
southwest Liberia, West Africa, to drill
their own water wells. This -.Friday,
November 7, they will be describing their
activities through slides and stories at noon
in LAB II, room 2205 and at 7 p.m. in Lecture Hall 3.
Invited by the local chiefs during a visit
to Liberia in 1982, Missen and Johnson
were challenged to come up with a way to
teach well building in an area that was a
five hour hike away from the nearest road;
where people believed it taboo to climb into a hole in the ground; and with students
who had no prior experience with engines,
electricity, or pipes.
''We were looking for something simple,
portable, and effective," Missen points out,
"and nothing being used today fit the bill.
So we formed a cluster contract with four
other Evergreeners and hit the history
books." They found sketchy reports from
a number of sources and compiled information on several designs, which they tested
on a local farm.
After raising $20,000 in donations and
grants, Missen and Johnson took their ideas
and tools to Liberia last January.
"It went better than expected," reports
Johnson. "It was obvious from the start
that these were all new ideas for them, but
the students caught on fast and were drilling 25 feet a day in no time. The men were
proud of their drilling -- even when we had
a dry hole they refused to let it be fIlled in
again."
Since the women were responsible for
hauling the water, they were trained in
repair of the pumps.
Surprisingly, Missen adds, the least of
their problems was developing and teaching
new technology. "Most of our time and effort was expended in trying to hurdle
human obstacles in the capitol city. The
country is in miserable economic and
political shape; and corruption, a traditional
barrier to development, is at an all time
high. But seeing our drilling course's
graduates with their new diplomas and
skills in the villages made up for all the
thugs and M-16 toting soldiers in the city."

a multi-media presentation of songs, poems,
slides and videos of cultural resistance.
This performance is part of a North
American tour, and Duran and Cadima will
perform at Evergreen after performances
in San Francisco and Seattle. An EPIC
spokesperson said that this presentation
should be "quite a unique opportunity to
understand the Chilean resistance." The
event is a presentation of Taller So~ the

CPJ nude offends
Bayview
When the Cooper Point Journal decided
to run an issue on the expressive arts
several weeks ago., Jennifer Seymore,
editor, chose to display a picture of an
abstract nude on the front cover. For this
October 9th issue, Stephanie Morgan
created two drawings. The one on the cover
was a male nude; the one inside was a
female drawn with the same background,
but drawn as if a mirror image of the male.
Living on a college campus, a liberal one
at that, we sometimes forget how easily
people can be offended. The Bayview
Marketplace, one of the drop-offs for the
Journal, responded immediately to the
"naked cover." One of the O\\llers called up
the CPJand told them that all future issues
must be approved by the store manager,
Everett Reynolds.
I called Everett, who confIrmed this. He
said that the October 9 issue did not fIt with
the image that Bayview Market wanted to
portray at their store. He was nice about
it, but fIrm. He said that they don't carry
any magazines that show such things.
Doubtless, the CPJ will continue to view
human nudity with the same lack of shame
that it views carrot sticks. Maybe
Stephanie Morgan could do a graphic on the
Market's produce section.

tober 19. This was the program's first successful attempt at the peak after failing
twice last spring due to bad weather. "The
weather.was outstanding," said a leader of
the climb, "and actually caused a dehydration problem because we didn't plan adequately for the amount of heat we had."
The Tooth is a 300 foot rock climb, extending from a 5,000 foot ridge, which the
group ascended in five small groups of
three. Within 12 hours, all flfteen climbers
had succeeded in reaching the top of the
peak and descending back to the base of the
Tooth. The climbers left at 8:30 a.m. and
returned at 8:45 p.m.
Craig Johns, Jason Parker and Pete
Steilberg Sr. directed the sling-shot relay
process which is used for safeguarding.
Mare Nemeth and Katin Parker were the
two climb leaders who established the top
ropes, and dropped the ropes back down to
the other climbers.
"The thrill of doing the Tooth is in the use
of technique itself," said Pete. He said that
good technique was "climbing solid rock in
as efficient and graceful a way as possible
in an environment with such beautiful
viewpoints."
When asked why they climb, Pete said,
"There is not much that one can do to
match the thrill of being on a steep rock
with nothing in your peripheral vision except air."
The next climb for the Evergreen
Wilderness Center was November 2 when
they climbed Mt. Erie, a rock climbing practice area. The climb was originally planned for Mt. Stuart, but was changed due to
weather conditions. Anyone interested is
allowed to go on upcoming climbs, but they

Gallery exhibits coming and going
by Amy Lynn Parker
Evergreen's galleries are displaying ex·
citing, important art work. There are
galleries on the second and fourth floors of
the Library building, Galleries 2 and 4. You
should make it a point to visit them.
The 30 artists who exhibited their work
in the last show were all connected to
Evergreen in some way. Either they were
faculty from Evergreen, past faculty from
Evergreen, or they had shown their work
in the two galleries "Rreviously. Each piece
of art portrayed culture in some way,
whether it was in the subject matter or the
media used.
As one walked into Gallery Four, one fac·
ed a Japanese warrior, George Tsutakawa's
"Sumi Painting," constructed with ball
point pen and gold leaf. This piece was
amazingly intricate and beautifuL
The three faculty members represented
were Susan Aurand, Larry Beck and Gail
Tremblay. Two former faculty members
were also included: Don Heard and Young
Harvill.
Larry Beck's "Spirit Mask" and Lillian
Pitts' "Noble Savage" were beautiful
masks that were an ancient Indian custom
in themselves. They were crafted with man·
made, modem materials and contrasting
natural materials combined.
Patty Warashina's "Dragon Lady" and
"Y ou Captured My Heart" were fun, car·
toonish pieces of sculpture that used
Japanese images in three dimensions with
bright energetic hues.
Jacob Lawrence was also featured in
Gallery 2 with his painting "Man on a Scaf·

If you didn't get a chance to see this ex·
hIbit you missed an excellent one. However,
there are more coming up in the near
future. "Women of Sweetgrass, Cedar and
Sage," will be coming November 15 to
Gallery 4 (open 12-6 week days, and
weekends 1-5 p.m.). This is a national tour·
ing exhibit of works by Native American
women, including Evergreen's faculty Gail

was a photograph of a boy with a hand

his face as he stood in a foresty park in

What if -- the setting is the same, the student artist is different, and as an openminded person, who has viewed a lot of
work, both student and professional, I find
myself appalled either by the total lack of
care taken by the artist in herlhis work or
the total lack, as I see it, of artistic ability.
I make known my opinion and witness a
similar reaction to the one described above.
After three or foUr incidents like this, I
begin having nightmares of the Student Art
Gallery left empty, of dirty looks while
crossing Red Square, and of pending
lawsuits against me. I wake in a cold sweat.

Student Art Gallery Coordinator
Let's play "what if," okay?
What if -- a student artist comes into the
Student Art Gallery office and spreads
herlhis work out on the floor for me to look
at. This is a common procedure. I look at
th~ work, and as an open-minded person,
who has viewed a lot of student and professional work, I find myself appalled by the
violence or obscenity of this work. Since the
Student Art Gallery basically consists of a
set of display cases located in a very public
thoroughfare on the fIrst floor of the CAB
Building, I decide this work is inappropriate
for showing. The student artist gathers
herlhis work, stomps from my office, slams
the door, and promises to drag my name
through the mud.

a review process, different than the one
described above, should be devised. The
Evergreen Student Art Gallery needs a
"Review Board," a group of people willing
to meet on a quarterly basis to view student art work and to make recommendations to me, the gallery coordinator.
At fIrst, I felt this group should consist
of four members: one Evergreen faculty
member; one Olympia community member
currently involved in the arts; one visual
arts student currently enrolled in an
academic program or not wishing to show
work this year; one Evergreen alumni, still
active in visual art-making.
It was pointed out to me, though, that
when the Student Art Gallery was originally formed, faculty members were intentionally excluded from any involvement.
This was done to insure student leadership
in all respects. It seems that if this exclusion applies to faculty, it might also apply
to members of the Olympia community. It
then occured to me that Evergreen alumni
might represent Hie "outside" community
while also representing the interests of the
Evergreen student community.
After considering these factors, I came
up with the following group of people:
Kathryn Taft Fovinci, Evergreen alumni
and former visual art (painting) student,
who also has experience in photography and
clay sculpture; Judy Kirk, Evergreen alumni, with visual art experience; Ruth
LaNore, Evergreen alumni, currently pursuing her work in sculpture; Larry Wenk,
Evergreen alumni and former photography
student currently involved with fllmmaking; Stefan Killen, current Evergreen stu·
dent with experience in the visual arts.
"The group" will come together on Saturday, December 13 to view the work of student artists interested in showing during
Winter quarter. Those who wish to submit
work may do so on Wednesday, December
10, from 11-3, or Friday, December 12, from
11-3, in LIB3212, the Student Art Gallery
office. "Portfolios" may be picked up on the
following Wednesday, December 17, in
LIB3212, where selections will be posted.
As coordinator of the Student Art
Gallery, I have seen some quality visual .
work by Evergreen students. I would love
. to be able to publish, in the December 18
issue of the CPJ, that there were an overwhelming number of submissions to the
Evergreen Student Art Gallery for Winter

Born to run, block and
tackle (or not)
by Benjamin Spees
The origin of talent is a mystery. But it
is foolish to deny that some people are barn
knowing how to do certain things. B. F.
Skinner would deny this (not because he
disagreed, but because his environment
would force him to deny it) but the guy will
never explain away Mozart.
Closer to home, we've all met the
"natural driver." Think back. When you
were in high school, didn't you know a guy
or girl (we don't get to be "men" and
"women" until college, where we can
smoke in front of our teachers and say
bullshit in class without getting bounced)
who got behind the wheel of a car for the
fIrst time ever, turned the engine over,
gunned that sucker and cruised out onto the
street, negotiating traffic like Burt
Reynolds' stunt-driver? Well, I did; his
name was, and is, John Christopher.
He may be cranky and smug, but the
dude can drive like Jacky Stewart.
I, on the other hand, know that if I've had
previous incarnations (like Shirley
Maclaine) none of those past selves ever
drove a car. I won fIrst place in the 1981
Buick Stall-Off.
I can hear you whining: "But what's this
got to do with spo-oo-orts?"
A lot.
I am convinced that no one can learn to
be an athlete. Ability in one sport or more
is either present at birth or it is not. Babe
Ruth's genes contained a coded message:
"The Sultan of Swat."
I'll call this mysterious phenomenon of
sports talent the "Grunt Factor."
Why? you ask. Because I'm just the type
of smug bastard who'd hang out with John
Christopher.
Anyway, I was born without the Grunt
Factor. Consequently I, and others of my
ilk, will never, ever be able to pass, block;
tackle, steal home, slamdunk or pole-vault.
I hear you whining again: 'But what difference does it ma-aa-ke?"
A big 'un.
.
From the age of ten onward, I was forced to participate in "physical education."
You see, school-type people way back a long
time ago decided that "every youngster"
should learn to play sports. It was good for
us, like not reading D.H. Lawrence · or
other pervo writers. Like going to church.
But what those long ago educators failed
to understand was that only certain people,
, those endowed by their creator with the
glorious Grunt Factor, are able to do well
in a physical education course.
And for a person like me, who possesses
not even a recessive G.F., the situation is
hopeless. I well remember the deep confusion and fear which loomed in me on my
fIrst day of Phys. Ed. The coach, Mr.
Neander, wanted me and the other 10·yearold boys to play football. Of course, the
youngsters with the G.F. were already warming up, tossing the 01' pigskin back and
forth and talking about "downs" and
"huddles."
But about 113 of us had no G.F. Many of
us wore glasses. We had names like
Eugene, Poindexter and Huey. Coach
Neander surveyed us with that youweenies-should-have-been-drowned-at-birth
expression which so endeared him to us.
But we really did try to understand his
instructions. After he'd rattled off the finer
points of football, twice, I had sort of an idea
of what he wanted us to do.
"Let me get this straight, coach. You
want one of us to throw this fat, cigarshaped thing to the others. The second
boy is supposed to run with it until still
other guys catch him and knock him on the
ground?"
"Very good, Quease."
"Uh, that's Spees, sir," I said.
I remember that game well. My performance in it was, well, unique. One of the
G. F. boys (I remember he had a rather full
beard for an eleven-year-old) from "my.
team" yelled, "Catch it, Tweeze!" I searched the heavens for the cigar-shaped
thing, got an eyeful of direct sunlight and
while painfully blinded, caught the thingj
In my mouth. Then some more large,
dumb guys fell upon me like rabid hyenas.
Oh, it's a beautiful day in the
neighborhood. Can you say: "Objectivity" ?
Good!
In high school, I was forced to work up
a "routine" on the parallel bars. I will recount the highlights of said routine: balance
on shoulders, gripping bar (G.F. aide
holding me up), aide lets go, left knee
strikes bar, right ankle strikes bar,
forehead strikes bar, body plunges between
bars and is dashed on matts below, coach.

Working toward equality
and respect
by Ben Tansey
The Evergreen Indian Center is a student group conceived by and for community Indians. I ts goal is to provide social,
cultural, and educational support services
to these people.
Among the Indians who work or have
worked at the center are Micail Lane of the
Menominee Indian Nation, Barbara
Lawrence of the Suquamish Indian Nation,
Kim Craven of the Sioux Indian Nation and
Gary Wessels of the Porno Indian Nation.
Although this S & A sponsored group has
official coordinators, Lane explains that the
titles are not used because of the importance of treating everyone equally.
The center used to be called the Northwest Indian Center, but was changed, according to Lane and Lawrence, because the
Center represents neither Northwest Indians exclusively nor all Northwestern
Indians.
It is hard to make general statements
about the Center. This is because no single
tribal culture or philosophy permeates the
group. Each participant member speaks for
him or her self.
Nevertheless, they do work collectively
as well. Examples: this November 17 the
group is co-sponsoring the Indigenous
Peoples' Day. Lane explains that this event
will give "indigenous people around the
world" an opportunity to assert their
presence and make other people aware of
it. Also, on November 6 there will be a
meeting, co-sponsored and coordinated by
the EIC, to kick off the campaign of the Columbia River Support Organization.
The Center will also be involved in the
upcoming Native American Studies study
group. Lawrence emphasizes the "importance that Indians and their input be
respected in the process." She feels that Indian self-determination is important, too.
"Our identity has been blue-printed and
decided upon by the non-Indian ever since
his arrival."
Lane maintains that the root of the NAS
controversy is "institutional racism" along
with the attitude some hold towards
Indians.
EIC has close ties with the NAS programs. They help sponsor guests for the
programs and occasionally make presentations within them.
A major concern for the group is how
other people and groups on campus
perceive them. "We're not just another
minority group," Lane says. "We are the
indigenous people of this land. We should
be treated with respect because this school
is on Indian land ... non-Indians are guests
here and so they should respect the land
and the people." He says he is "not asking
people to feel guilty" about past atrocities,
"but to accept responsibilty" for the past.
Lawrence said that accepting responsibility means to not "think of Indians as being
in tribes, but as being a part of Indian Nations ... " She said that most of the 36 Indian
Nations in Washington have treaties with
the Dnited States, but that these ought to
be thought of as legal and binding ~ontracts,
because people seem to have more respect
for "contracts" than they do for "treaties."
Katheryn Ferguson of the Assiniboine Indian Nation is a representative of the
Center and a peer counselor for the First
People's Coalition, which is a network of
groups representing people of color. Her
role allows her to work closely with Indian
students. She feels that the college should
do more work to recruit Indians to the
school, so as to put an end to the drastic
reduction in their numbers here which has
taken place over the last few years.
Gary Wessels, who was a coordinator last
year, encourages Indians to take advantage
of the Center's information and resources,
which are plentiful. The office is located at

Sister College celebration a success
by Lillian Ford
Evergreen commemorated its fIrst year
as a sister college of the Dniversity of EI
Salvador at noon on October 30. About flfty people gathered in the CAB to hear
about the sister college program's history
and to listen to the songs of Paula Barnett
de Castillo, an Evergreen student who coordinates Tides of Change, a women's production group on campus.
Last Autumn, after DES student body
president Antonio Quesada visited
Evergreen, roughly one thousand student,
faculty and staff signed a petition urging
the acceptance of Quesada's invitation for
Evergreen to become a sister college of
DES. Later in the year, Evergreen faculty passed a sister college resolution. In·
June, the Board of Trustees granted President Joe Olander the authority to officially
declare Evergreen a sister college of the
DES.
Objectives of the sister college relationship include: promoting cultural and educational exchanges between the two institutions; seeking to develop means for
Evergreen to provide material aid to the
DES; establishing an Evergreen network
to help protect the human rights of
members of the DES; and asking the EI
Salvadoran govermIlent to uphold its constitutional responsibility to provide full fun-
ding and autonomy to the UES.
During the past year Evergreen students
Kristi Maclean and Sean Sinclair, and staff
member Tim Marshall visited the DES.
The DES is the primary institution of
higher learning in EI Salvador. Shaped by
EI Salvador's lack of social and economic
justice, it has become a center of progressive thought and corresponding
government repression. In 1980, the armed forces invaded the supposedly
autonomous university, shooting students
in the halls. The university remained closed until 1984. Now classes are held on a
shoestring budget, since the government
has not reinstated full funding or repaired
damage done during the invasion. Students
and faculty fear government attack. Many,
such as Quesada, have "disappeared"-abducted by government forces and
paramilitary "death squads."
DES students told Maclean that they
mainly need material to survive. Last year,
half of the class gift was given to the DES.
The Evergreen Sister College committee
also works to raise funds and collect supplies. Speaking at the commemoration, committee member Jeanine Corr stressed that
more help is needed, and encouraged people to attend the committee's meetings,
every Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in LIB 3233.
The commemoration was sponsored by U1
the Peace and Conflict Resolution Center. [] ,

Questioning Security's Jurisdiction
by David Roger Koenig
How many times have you passed
through the three way intersection at the
corner of Driftwood and Overhulse? Now
think of the number of times you looked to
the side and noticed a Campus Security Officer parked on the ASH (Adult Student
Housing) Tree shoulder, in the driveway,
or even in the ASH parking lot, presumably
waiting for someone to run a stop sign.
Traffic problems aside, how many times
have you seen a security officer at the ASH
Tree Apartment complex while they were
on duty, regardless of reason? Now if this
is the campus "police" that we are talking
about, where do they derive the authority
to enter ASH Tree Apartments, or issue
citations from there? In short, if you have
seen them there half as often as I, then
perhaps you have the same questions.
With these questions in mind, let's take
a look at a little bit of background: To begin
with, Security's purpose, or mission state·
ment in effect, seems to be of an ambiguous
nature to say the least. As the years weave
a path through parking tickets, vehicle impounds, traffic citations, criminal trespass
citations, requests for an armed police

Communications Network," and a recent

reorganization, we find that their purpose
and scope of authority within the campus
is ever changing and expanding. In contrast
to this, I found their geographical jurisdiction to be more clearly defined. Through
communication with the Thurston County
Sheriff s department I learned that
Evergreen Security officers are deputized
under them with the authority to enforce
laws.
Such authority includes investigatory
powers, the power of arrest, and the rights
to issue citations. Yet all of this is to be conducted within the scope of a "limited
jurisdiction," that jurisdiction being the
Evergreen State College campus. Also,
refer to Revised Code of Washington
(RCW) or state law on this issue -- to say
nothing of the Washington Administrative
Code (WAC), which must comply with state
law.
With this in mind, I checked with the
B\rergreen Housing office and a couple of
other administrators to determine the
status of ASH. The result was that I found
ASH has never been a part of the college.
In fact, the only connection ASH had to
Evergreen was that they had an agreement
with the school and the State to give hous·

they received a subsidy from Housing and
Urban Development (HUD). However, this
condition changed over a year ago when
ASH decided that they wanted to open up
to the general public, and that they didn't
want to deal with the constraints of H. U .D.
So unless the college has recently acquired
the power of eminent domain, then we can
assume that the ASH Tree Apartments are
not part of the physical campus, and
therefore they remain outside of Security's
jurisdiction.
If indeed this is the case, then by what
right can they be there in their capacity as
Evergreen Security officers? Also, if ASH
is outside of their jurisdiction, would that
mean all citations issued from there are invalid? Perhaps someone could explain this
to me,

was acting in a capricious and irresponsible manner.
Security personnel do have the authority to arrest or issue citations off campus,
but only in chase situations. Such chase
situations are in themselves strictly defmed by state law, and by no stretch of the
imagination would they have applied to the

Most freshmen I talked to had a fairly clear idea of what they
hope to get out of Evergreen, whether it be related to career go~s,
or "to figure out what the hell I'm doing," as one student put It.
Erik hopes to gain "a new way of thinking. I hope to be a little
more creative. High school was very strict; everything was black
and white. I think everything will fit in a little better here."
"I'd like to know more," said Kaarin, "and to be able to apply
what I learn to what I do, which I'm not sure of. I want to communicate ideas better, to listen better."
"At first," said Tom, "I had my mind set on spending a couple
of years here and then moving on to the U.v:. orsome.largersc~~!
and pursuing a doctoral field. But now, I m not qUIte certam.
Perhaps the most revealing question was: "What do you feel
you can give to the Evergree~ community? ~hough nearly
all seemed to feel that this was an Important question, many were
unable to give any answer at all. Those who could had many interpretations of the que~tion:
'
"Hopefully, I can share some ideas that might make it better,"
said Kaarin. "I can give creativity."
"I can give my help," said Amy, "my time, my opinions, my
thoughts, and just my overall individuality."
"I can be involved in things," said Erik, "I don't feel involved
in things as much as I could be. I try'to be a good student. Just
keeping up with things is important, to keep the idea of the school
going."
Yet, one student put it this way: "The school can give me an
education, I can give the willingness to learn. What more could
a teacher ask of a student?"
Amy felt that many new students are too passive in approaching
their educations; "It's a TV society. They want to sit back and
watch," she said.
As their comments demonstrate, the freshmen are as diverse
as any of us (Most of the shifts toward younger students with more
moderate views were occurring when today's seniors were in their
first year). The seminar I attended seemed to have representatives
from many communities; I saw long-hair-and fuzzy-sweaters, Goretex"black leather, MTV regalia, army fatigues, you name it. They
were a fairly quiet group, and followed the lead of their instructor obediently. They were well-prepared. They raised their hands.
They planned a potluck.
While the freshman class is hardly a corps of young Republicans
out for their business-degrees-with-a-difference, we as a student
body -- not to mention we as a nation -- are changing. The profamily, anti-homosexual, back-to-basics rhetoric of the Reagan Administration which is presently making its way into every aspect
of American life -- including public school -- will gradually grow
up and go to college. Perhaps we are just feeling the flrst effects
of this ideological ad-campaign now.
Tolerance
When students are applying here, simply because it looks good,
we must ask ourselves, to what extent does national recognition
come into conflict with the college's original ideals?
Examine this statement: I came to Evergreen because I thought
I could get a very good education, but because of the location I
amfarced to socialize with my classmates who tend to be narrowminded and unrealistic
If I'm not mistaken, the "education" at Evergreen has

something to do with testing one's limits, recognizing one's prejudices, and working toward a manner of thinking both independent and accepting of difference. Yet my own limits of tolerance
are stretched by the attitude that a good student sits quietly for
four years and then receives a prestigious degree for his or her
trouble. This variety of public-school passivity e~phasizes getting
more than giving, and has little to do with the notion
that we can all learn from one another.
There are many degrees of "education," and those who make
application here should be -aware that at Evergreen (hopefully)
we learn through activism rather than passivity; through questioning and evaluating our beliefs from the bottom up; through
the act of approaching difference with an open mind.
If these points are not made clear to prospectives, then the
Evergreen environment is going to change. In fact, it might not
be so special anymore.
While it doesn't appear that the '86 freshman are any more
responsible for changing times than,the freshman four years ago
were; what we are witnessing is a treru1.
Things are moving rightward nationwide, Evergreen has grown
up and wears a necktie. The extent to which we condone these
developments will determine the level to which we will tolerate
those -- few, at this point -- ~ho wish to attend our school in a
quest for status, rather than out of a love for learning. 0
