PULLOUT SECTION ........... 15-18

Controversy in the first issue of the
year! Explain, I must, to you who were
offended, who were offended by those
who were offended, and to you who were
wondering if you should be offended or
not.
The staff box was written with first a
romaji or "Japanese English" title
followed by the names of individuals who
contributed to the CPJ written with
various Japanese honorifics. I have talked with people who have complained
about the "cultural insensitivity" of the
use of the honorifics .
From the Asian/Pacific Isle Coaltion I
received the complaint that the honorifics
were used in a way that detracted from
their cultural significance, i.e . : in a college newspaper for a predominatly Anglo
staff and readership.
This fault is easily blamed on my being half-Japanese and at the time I was
writing the last piece of type for the issue
I was considering the fact that Tribute to
Japan was coming up and how I would
like to share a part of my knowlege of the
Japanese culture in the paper.
,

I added the honorifics to the staff
names because I was addressing them as
I would address them in Japan.
Not until I was in Japan did I learn
there was a masculine honorific - kun
(pronounced koon). I hoped to share this
with the readers by using kun consistently
for the men on the staff.
For the women staff members I alternated between san and chan, the formal
and familiar honorifics.
I understand the tenderness of cultural
expressions and how context, manner,
mind-set, etc. are crucial to successful integration. What would have happened if
Ben had written the staff box as so many
assumed at first? Could the cultural expression have survived with this little a
tumult?
I was unhappy to say the least with the
insensitivity of those who blasted the
STAFU BOKSU without seeking any
understanding from the person behind it.
The emotional anger and frustration at
con tinual cultural abuse in the media is
honorable, but, to not seek repair but only further disrepair is not,

Insensitive
Dear Editor,
I'm writing with regards to the way,
CPJ staff names were printed in last
week's issue. First, I feel it was culturally insensitive to the Asian Com~J.\.tni~.
No one from the ' Asian Pacific Island
Coalition, or the Asian community at
large, was consulted prior to printing the
staff names in such a manner . Second,
I was not consulted about using my name
in that fashion and I feel personally embaressed that my name had to be involved. Especially during the Tribute to
Japan event, a cultural activity that attracts hundreds of people and many
honored guests that travelled here from
across the Pacific.
I'm sure that no harm was intended.
The fact is that it was culturally insensitive none-the-Iess. I have been told by
an APIC staff member that in their
culture you are given your name and it

-

-

is a very honoured thing. These names
are said and used in a respectful manner.
For those of you who many not understand or simply think it's "no big deal",
then I merely ask you to take someone
else's cultural perspective into consideration so that we can at least tolerate each
others' differences. And I truly believe
that the Evergreen Community is one of
the few places we can make that demand
and hopefully grow together. That is all,
and thank you .

Litter

issue has even been addressed in your
forum, but even if it has, the matter is
serious enough to bear repition . The problem I am referring to is litter. The exoberant amount of littler strewn carelessly
along the paths is obnoxious! One of the
reasons I chose to attend Evergreen was
for the beauty of our campus . The sight
of beer cans and bottles, candy wrappers
and miscellaneous other garbage considerably lessens the scenic beauty around
us. If you are among those thoughtless
. individuals who are responsible, please
make an effort to deposit your waste in
a garbage can. If you are also concerned
by the litter problem, you can help by
picking up a piece here and there as you
walk around campus. Let's show some
respect for our environmen.t.

No 'Yes Dog', 'No Dog' Issue

Dimmers, Grills, Benches For Community Center

by John Robinson

1\

When a community forum on the pet
policy was held January 13, the meeting's
original plan was to get people to speak
their minds on the issue of dogs on campus. The comments would then be taken
to the Board of Trustees for consideration in February, and a subsequent vote
would be taken in March. By the
meeting's end, community members had
. expressed a variet)! of viewpoints, ranging from giving the dogs free roaming
privileges to absolute abolishment of
them from campus.
An overriding sentiment prevailed
throughout the meeting. This was the
feeling that people had not been involved in the actual drafting of the pet policy
document. They complained they were
being asked for input "after the fact".
Many attending saw this as an imposition of values placed upon the community, and made tentative plans to set up an
ad hoc DTF of those willing to work on
the policy. Those interested in taking part
should attend the next community forum
on Monday, January 25 at 12:00 pm in
Cab 110.
This is not a "yes dogs", or "no dogs"
issue . The following is a list of the many
co ncerns and viewpoints brought up at
the meeting.
- Where do animal rights end and human
rights begin?
- Who is liable when someone gets bitten
by a dog?
- The current dog policy is selectively enlorced, depending on the whims of
Security.
- Dogs enhance the social environment of
Evergreen.
- Many women use dogs for protection to
get to their cars safely.
<Dogs steal lunche::. -often risht out of
people's hands.
- Security cannot run a kennel service.
-Dogs kill small animals around campus.
- Dogs tied up on leashes are harassed by
dogs running loose.
- Dogs are brought for socialization, the
same way a child is brought to daycare.

by Kelly Hawk

The Community Center over at the
New Student Housing has now opened .
The doors were unlocked alright, and
the recently moved and expanded
Bookstore Branch was open. But inside,
the building was singing' 'the low-bidder
blues." The heating worked well (it was
over 90 degrees), the new 26" TV had
lousy reception, the lights were too
bright, the roof leaked, the fireplace was
useless, and there was little furniture.
Today things are much better. The
center is now comfortable to be in, the
Corner is serving food, and the TV is
viewable.
There are further changes on the way.
Sometime in the future dimmers will be
installed to replace the "unscrew-thelightbulb" system . A grill for the fll'eplace
has been ordered, and will arrive shortIy. Benches for the smoking area vestibule
have been ordered, so that people can sit
down . There are other additions housing
would like to make, but simply doesn't
have the money for . .

Barking Up A Storm.
The CPj will soon be having a major
philosophical meeting. There is a feeling
of excitment among the staff and writers
about the potential for this event. We'd
like to hear your ideas about what the
CPj should be doing . To facilitate this
process, I've split the remainder of this
article into two , note-like sections. Here
is the first :
'The Cooper Point Journal is a weekly
student run paper, currently in magazine
format.
'3,5000 copies are printed each week.
These are distribuated on campus and in
Thurston County.
'We publish a total of about thrity issues
a year.
'Our budget is $37,000/annum. Income
is predominately from Student act ivities
and adverstising.
'There are eight staff members and approximately ten volunteers.
Here's the second:
'Who are we talking to? Is it important
to communicate/impart/exchange infor-

mation with the rest 01 the community?
Or should we rename ourselves The
Greener Guardian?
<Should the coverage of any of all of the
following be prioritized: Curriculum content and development; Minority issues;
Goverance matters; local, national and
international issues.
<Could we network (exchanging text and
images) with other publications within
the state, nationally, internationally?
<Can we plan to use new technology to
facilitate the above (e.g., desk top
publishing)?
<Should we stick with this format?
(U .S.A. Today prepare for competition?)
<How can we achieve greater input? Better writing?
You must by now have enough of
question marks. All that's left is for me
to urge you to partake in cultural
democracy. We would appreciate what
you have to say. Please come and join us
this Monday,January 25th, at CAB 306
(CPjw.nd), 7:30 pm. Hope to see you
there.

Information

It should be noted that the community center is not open 24 hours a day.
Director of housing Jeannie Chandler
points out that there simply isn't enough
security to monitor it all the time.
Already a chair has been stolen Ollt of the
TV room, and there is no money to
replace it. Tentatively, the hours are:
8:00 am - 11:30 pm, Mon-Thru
8:00 am - midnight, Friday
9:00 am - midnight, Saturday
9:00 am - 11:30 pm, Sunday
The vestible will always be open.
This procedure of open-Iate-when-it'snot-done-and-finish-it later is in many
ways a repeat of what happened with the
new housing dorms, E-K. They too were
finished late, and there is still some work
left to be done. But for both the Community Center and the dorms, the light
at the end of the tunnel can be seen.
As changes are made to the Center, an
irrigation system is being installed around
it. The steps in front of the Center will
be torn out a second time and made more
aesthetically pleasing. The final good
news is that a settlement has been reached with the contractor to pay for all those

hotel bills and rent refunds created by late
completion of the dorms (This is called
recovery of all liquid damages.)
Now to put some perspective on all of
this. Chandler now admits that the scope
of the project was just too large to complete in seven months, even though the
contractor selected thought that it could
be done. All those involved in the planning process were over-optimistic about
the completion date because they had to
have more beds. So they gave it a shot,
and missed the mark, fortunately not by
much.
The entire project might still be in a
sorry state if it wasn't for the fad that
many campus offices put in overtime to
help finish it all. Campus maintenance,
grounds, heating, and over crews worked above and beyond the call of duty to
make new housing liviable for residents
by the time they showed up. The people
at the housing office really want to thank
all the students, contractors, campus
employees, and everyone else involved
for hanging in there and staying cool
when the heat was on and wearing
sweaters when the heat was off.

'Day Off' For Student Involvment
by John Robinson

I

t

The faculty of Evergreen seem to want
to address things first hand instead of
passing the buck. At the meeting held last
week, Evergreen faculty took a good half
hour to listen to student comments regarding the Social Contract and what has
been recognized as the disintegration of
the community governance system. The
faculty listened carefully as five students
voiced their concerns, and by the
meeting's end a remarkable proposal had
been made and accepted. Faculty
member Don Finkel stated, "I move that
we do something both symbolic and
substantive-take a day off classes and
directly involve students in the decision
making process-specifically, to decide
on community values, and establish the

Social Contract."
The acceptance of this proposal came
in the wake of a series of meetings in
which students had repeatedly spoken out
against the new social contract, coauthored by Vice President of Student
Affairs Gail Martin and campus legal
counsel Shawn Newman. Students,
disappointed with the drafting of the
document, argued that lawyers should
"advise on policy and not make it."
Many faculty members stated that it
was absurd for values to be imposed on
the community without first consulting '
members of the community. Some
members were also disappointed because
they felt the working of the document was
vague.
On the other end of the spectrum, new
Campus Adjudicator Dave Hitchens
stated that the primary need for the Social

Contract is specifically in regard to rule
violations, i.e., crime equals consequence. "In the past we were violating
people's rights no matter what we did.
Any action I take is problematic, because
the document is always in flux. We have
to focus on what we need."
Gail Martin, who served as campus
adjudicator over the summer, spoke of
two instances where she had the same
problem; if a student violated a rule,
there was no specific penalty for it, nor
was there an adequate grievance procedure or process to turn to.
When a date is formally scheduled for
the governance vent, faculty and students
will not meet for class that day in the hope
that a community forum will be widely
attended. The forum will address issues
pertinant to the Social Contract and the
drafting of it.

(Many Great Swims) B~t One Big Loss

by Andy Lee

The Evergreen State College women's
swim team suffered their first loss of the
season to powerful Pacific Lutheran,
University. PLU finished in the top 10
ten at the NAIA National Championships last season.
"We had many great swims," commented coach Bruce Fletcher. "The best
swim of the evening came when Rachel
Wexler took 30 seconds off her 500
Freestyle time ." Rachel swam a 6:10.14
in the event.
Others posting victories includeti ;
Romy Church (toO Backstroke), Tame
Trefether (50 Freestyle), Ann Remsberg
(1 00 fly), and Erica Anderson (Diving).

In the men's division, PLU also won
giving the swimming Geoducks their second loss of the season. Leading the way
was Pieter Drummond, with two individual victories. "The swim of the day
for the men had to be Justin Pollack's 400
yard Individual Medley," said Fletcher.
"Justin had never swam that event
before, but he did a great job." Pollack
finished behind Max Gilpin. Gilpin was
a national finalist in that event in 1987. '
Mike Hurwitz continued to lower his 100
Butterfly time to a 58.79. Other
Evergreen swimmers with solid swims include; Jerome Rigot (100 free), Mike
Hernandex (100 fly), Aaron Soule (200
free) and Matt Love (100 Back).

STUDENTS OF COLOR
'CONFERENCE
Excellence. Opportunities and Equity in the 21st Century

by Vikki Michalios

"Certain individuals are more aware of different cultures, but as a whole, the campus has
not yet embraced cultural literacy and diversity,
and it shows in the Evergreen cum·culum. JJ

Recycle Those
'Zines Now

Last November, the Students of Color Conference took place here at
Evergreen. The aim was to unite multicultural students from across the state of
Washington.
The conference focused on how the nationwide trend of declining minority
enrollment in colleges will affect people
in Washington as well as how state colleges are preparing to meet the needs of
college-bound students of color.
Students from all over the state attended. Colleges represented included PLU,
UW. UPS, Evergreen, Central Western
and Gonzaga, among others. There were
also people from several high schools as
well as Seattle Alternative school. After
a welcoming registration, students partook of several workshops. Yvonne Peterson, a faculty member at Evergreen and
a member of the Chehalis tribe, spoke in
the' Multi-Cultural Leadership Skill
Building workshop. Issues discussed
there included strategies of coping with
racism and the facilitation of networking
among cultural leaders. Other workshop
titles were: Master Plan, Model Minority, Minority Survival Skills, Lesbian/Gay

Before throwing away the next
Newsweek or Time magazine, Evergreen's
recycling program has some important
news! Magazines are now recyclable.
Any glossy paper such as posters, old
telephone books, and those never-ending
catalogs in the mail box are also considered magazi'nes.
. But where does one take the pile of
Mother jones magazines and all those other
things? Evergreen has a large space
designated for paper recycling in the back
of the Library Building. It's called the
Refuse/Recycling Room and it is on the
first floor behind the mail room.
In the Refuse/Recycling Room, one
can neatly pile re-cyclable paper,
aluminum, glass, or cardboard according
to the posted signs .
Besides the Refuse/Recycling Room,
there are many other places to put
recyclables on campus. Many offices have
a small box for papaer and photocopiers
usually have a bin for paper nearby. In
the courtyard by A Dorm, there are barrels for glass and aluminum. There are
many other places for aluminum near
pop machines .
Not every scrap and wad of paper can
be recycled, though. The worst thing to
put in a recycling bin is carbon paper. It
turns everything blue . Anything with
glue, tape, or envelopes with windows or
labels are not acceptable either because
they plug up the reycling machines.
Some good things to recycle are computer paper, xerox paper, white or colored paper, newspaper, cardboard and,
just recently, magazines.
Evergreen's recycling center would like
to thank all those involved in recycling.

Issues, Future Minority Affairs Programs, and Semantics.
Students formed groups comprising
their respective cultures and exchanged
personal experiences. Among these were
alienation due to a lack of cultural sensitivity. Students of color often find
themselves acting as both teacher and student, which puts even more pressure on
them. Also, a lack of support, services in
career planning for minorities exists.
Most feel they're left to sink or swim, and
have a need for role models among the
faculty.
The groups formulated a needs assessment plan to enchance college education.
The plan included the hiring of personnel with specific cultural backgrounds,
developing an "Out Reach" program to
help pre-college students prepare better
for their educational careers, and implementing requirement for all students
to study four to eight hours of nonEuropean culture. The establishment of
an active student body concerned with
racism and ways to deal with it were also
\ h'mgton,
hot issues. Students across Was
such as Anthony (Tony) Greenidge, are
currently formulating documents such as
this. Tony plans to submit this proposal ,
to the HEC Board and to the Minority
Task Force.
"The conference was an overwhelming success," said organizer Greenidge.
He already has plans for another con-

Needs of Laborers Delt with Orally
by John McCann

The Evergreen State College Labor
Education and Research Center
presented a Weekend Oral History Conference of Washington State Labor at
Evergreen last weekend .
Saturday's and Sunday's panels
featured discussions between participants
in the Longshore Strike of 1934, the PI

Guild strike, the Machinists' Union, the
Woodworking unions, and public
employee's unions. Another panel focussed on women in labor unions.
In relating their years' of e)f.perience in
trade unionism, the panelists and
speakers issued an appeal and challenge
to young~r unionists and students of today. They spoke for the rights of women
and people of color, ' and of the needs for
ocganization, solidarity, child care, na-

tional health insurance: also of impact
was the need for working people to seize
control of the political process through the
creation of a' 1abor party.
The Labor Center plans to produce a .
videotape of orafhistory panels and -interviews . Contributions to editing and
production costs of the video would be
welcomed. Contact the Labor C~nter-fClt '

Interviews
Penetrating the Surface of Greeners
by Darrel W. Riley
The Evergreen State College catalogue
has short biographical excerpts about
various students, as well as some of their
thoughts and feelings about Evergreen.
One of the big attractions of going to a
school as small as Evergreen is that a student can get to know many people. Yet
with the diversity of programs and interests, students, faculty and staff are
isolated from each other. Students and
faculty know the people in their programs, but not many of the other
members of the community. That is a
shame, because Evergreen is composed
of a fascinating group of people.
To help introduce the members of the
Evergreen community to each other, I
want to write a weekly column which
focuses on one or two community
members. 1 would like to try this for one
month to see if you enjoy it and think that
it might be helpful.
STUDENT: Laura Gustavson
HOMETOWN: Mill Valley, CA
CURRENT PROGRAM: Health, Individual, and Society.
I chose as my first subject Laura
Gustavson. 1 was amazed by her grasp
of the relationships between phYSical objects. She asks penetrating questions, for
instance whether the ratio of colors on a
menu was planned with any mathematical as well as visual significance, and
what the relationship between vision and
math is. She also has a broad range of interests, from psychology and art, to what
makes people happy. She sees herself as
a person without any secrets, while her
roomates view h,er as slightly mysterious.
The combination of these fa~tors made
her an irresistible temptation
the subject of an interview.
Laura Gustavson came to Evergreen
not knowing what to expect for her
education and her future. After one
quarter here, she's still not sure but she
feels she has a better idea of how
Evergreen operates. It was hard for her
at first to adjust to the academic environment at Evergreen because she was used

as

to doing her work to please other people
instead of for herself. She fourid that the
inspiration to work had to come internally instead of externally.
"The hardest thing for me at Evergreen is finding the time to do the
classwork because it doesn't inspire me.
Much of the time I am pre-occupied with
thinking, and re-adjusting my perspectives. I used to have confidence that my
thinking was correct, but I've learned
that there is more than one correct way
of thinking. I've adjusted my views
recognizing diversity of opinions, which
has left me without a solid viewpoint.
And sometimes I feel lost because of that.
"I was comfortable at high school; 1
had my own niche. At the beginning of
this school year, I was with other people,
but I often felt isolated because I didn't
know anyone well enough to talk to them
about my ideas. I was nervous about
coming because I wasn't sure how I
would handle being on my own. Now I
have some really strong friends. I consider Washington my home because it's
what is happening to me now-it's the
present-whereas
California
IS
memories; it's yesterday."
She's become more secure about her
abilities and more future oriented. But
her security doesn't keep her from
wishing that she was 24 and finished with
her college experience. She wonders ifher
life will be easier when she knows more
and has lived longer.
,A lot of learning she's done has been
outside of the classroom, dealing with
people's reactions, problems, and the
other aspects of her life. Her program
doesn't inspire her. "At the end of the
year I will have knowledge about a lot of
little things, like nutrition, but I don't
think we are building to a climatic burst
of knowledge. My program has taught
me about Evergreen but I want to know
more about people: how they think, their
perceptions, and psychology. But I don't
know if any program could teach me
those things."
Laura fs:e1s that her greatest skill is being selfless toward other people. But she
worries that her selflessness toward her
friends is ultimately a way to be selfish

about her own pleasure.
When I asked Laura what she wanted
people to know about her, she said that
she wanted people to know that she is as
unique as they are and would like to be
treated the way anyone would like to be
treated, with respect and compassion.
Two of Laura Gustavson's paintings
can be seen on the bottom floor of the
CAB building.

Audrey Streeter is the program
secretary for the faculty in the LAB II
building. She was very startled when I
asked to talk to her, as she had assumed
that enough people already knew her that
she wouldn't be a good subject for an interview. She was flabbergasted w]len I
told her that I didn't know what program secretary was, or did. For the other
two people at Evergreen who don't know,
a program secretary is the person who
handles the faculty's student evaluations,
prepares the handouts, anc!. keeps track
of Evergreen's rules and codes. Audrey
does this for 16 programs-26 faculty!
When I asked her if she thought it wa:m't
a lot of work, she nodded but stressed that
the work was interesting.

She has no wish to change Evergreen
in any significant way. "Evergreen has
its frailties, like any place, but nothing
significant. Last year I would hav.e
changed it by asking for a computer. ThIS

now." She feels that there isn't really a
need to change people. "Most everyone
tries to do the best job they can."
She's been at Evergreen for nine years.
In that time she has seen a lot of changes,
but the only one she could single out was
the difficulty in communications caused
by an increasing student population.

The Degreening of Evergreen
" Mere there are a number of laws drawn up
with great exactitude, it is a proof tho.t the city
is badly administred. " -/socraus

by Doug Riddels
When an Alliance volunteer suggested
that we take a look at the governance
crisis at Evergreen, I scoffed. After 20
years , it's no longer a crisis-it's a
lifestyle . No . governance crisis: that
would be news. And besides, I had pretty much written off Evergreen governance a few years back, when they explicitly defined the term "Evergreen
Community ", thereby excluding
nonstudents, dogs with bandanas and the
homeless freaks crashing in A-Dorm . I
don't know .. . call me "Old School" I
guess.
I relented, after hearing from several
Evergreen students-in particular, one
Evergreen student who was kicked off
campus and then found that there were
no grievance procedures or appeals process in place for him to turn to. In fact,
it appeared that that the entire governance and grievance structures, including
the near sancrosanct Social Contract, had
been summarily scrapped, and an alternative set of (gasp!) rules and prohibitions , authored by Evergreen's attorney,
put in their place .
Here was something to make the most
jaded alum sit up and take notice .
End Of An Utopian Era
The current governance collapse isn '.t
particularly important, in the global
scheme ofthings . However, it does represent, for me at least, something more important: the nadir of the Evergreen Experiement, the denouement of a 20-year
process of disillusionment and institutionalization. Evergreen is too dynamic
and flexible an enity for anyone to write
it off as a failed experiment. However,
it has definately reached a transition point
(a kairotic moment, as founding faculty/guru Willi Unsoeld would say) . The
u ptopian ideal of a factionless, selfgove rning community is being abandoned , even by the students, the last and
stron gest adherents to that ideal. Or ,

rather, it is finally being acknowledged
as a dead idea,!.
This is very sad for those who have, at
some point, identified with the Evergreen
dream. Yet it is probably for the best; the
utopian veil must be lifted, if their community is to face the problems that continue to confront the Evergreen
Philosophy.
The Evergreen Philosophy
Evergreen was conceived out of the
social and intellectual turbulance of the
late Sixties. Its self-defined mission was
to educate the "whole person," and to
revitalize and redefine the notion ' of an
individual's community. Unity and interrelatedness were emphasized, in interdisciplinary studies, in stressing the connections of means and ends of decisionmaking, and in the notion of a factionless
Evergreen community.
This underlying philosophy permeated
every aspect of Evergreen, from
academics to campus governance at
Evergreen can be seen as the community's perpetually degenerating attempt to
realize the Evergreen philosophy within
the structure a.nd philosophy have always
been thesis and antithesis in a frustrating
dialectic dance.
Evergreen has served as an ongoing
social experiment, an attempt to realize
the best of the political theory of the New
Left : participatory democracy; respect for
individual autonomy; community selfgovernance; decentralization of authority; and decisions by consensus, rather
than factionalization, conflict and administrative fiat.
These underlying New Left values
were reflected in various forms. Rather
than a burgeoning maze of bureacratic
standing boards and committees,
Evergreen ad hoc disappearing task forced (DTF's) made up of members of all
affected constituencies, and ideally
chosen at-large and randomly. All decisions were to be made at the lowest possible level, and only after consultation with
all affected persons. Legal solutions were
resorted to only after sincere, well-defined
informal and formal grievance procedures had been attempted. A central
campus forum, called the Evergreen

Council in its last incarnation, was to be
the "hearing body of last resort," in a
sense, prior to actual litigation. The
Evergreen Council was also intended as
the campus-wide "advisory and
deliberative body," the community's
sounding board .
The conceptual glue binding the
system together was the Social Contract,
sort of a preamble to the overall Covenant of Governance (COG) . It boldly
starts off "Evergreen is an institution and
a community that continues to organize
itself so that it can clear the obstacles to
learning" and "The Evergreen State
College requires a social contract rather
than a list of prohibitions and negative
rules . "
This genuinely radical document is
codified in the Evergreen Administrative
Code . . As part of the State's administrative law, it is certainly the most
amazing legal document in this state, if
not the nation.
Social Contract Gutted
The Social Contract was almost written out of existence recently, in any
recognizable form . The statement quoted
above, about "requiring a social contract , " was replaced with a "list of rules
and prohibited conduct" -specifically,
seventeen prohibited conducts, including
a rule against breaking the rules .
of which could result in expulsion .
("Work or research projects may also be
assigned.' ')
More disturbing still, the new "Governance and Decision Making" document
(orginally called the" Code of Rights and
Responsiblities ") 'as drafted by a
single individual
college ' s hired attorney, Shawl' .ewman; and at the
behest of a r ' .lgle Administrator, Vice
President fJr Student Affairs Gail Martin. This, for a document that was once
revised every three years by the college's
most widely scrutinized DTF, and only
adopted after extensive campus-wide
discussion, debate and public hearingsin all, a process lasting the better part of
a year.
In accordance with an apparent unoffical administration policy , the draft of
this gutted social contract was allowed

January 21,1988 - 11

one full week of community discussion
and input, not counting finals week,
evaluation week, Thanksgiving break,
and Christmas break . And, as usual, student protest delayed the adoption process
until the entire community could actually participate in the decision making
process.
Vice President Martin was concerned
-w ith the Social Contract's lack of
"substantive due process," a legal term
that means a list of specific rules and prohibitions. She determined after extensive
research, that the Social Con tract, per se ,
was leClving Evergreen wide open for
lawsuits.
There was also a "lack of procedural
due process," because a key part of the
grievance mechanism, the Evergreen
Council, no longer exists . President Joe
Olander abolished it soon after he took
office (over Christmas break, of course).
Student Governance, SAC'ed
The Council, plagued since its inception with a lack of self-definition and
goals, in a community where all attention
tends to focus within the all-consuming
academic program, was a dysfunctional
mess, unable even to convene a quorum.
Olander acknowledged its failure and
scrapped it.
Between Olander's abolition of the
Council uver Christmas break of
1985-86, and Vice President Martin's attept to implement the lawyer-written
Code of Rights and Responsibilties over
this Christmas break, Martin also attempted to establish a,student governance
structure, called the Student Agenda
Committee (SAC). This one was introduced over summer break, 1987 .
Again, student protest delayed its implementation. Martin, frustrated after
three years of students grappling with the
governance question, graciously tabled
her plan, and urged all students to
become involved with the large group of
students who were developing an alternative student governance system .
A Brief Overview
To briefly review Evergreen in the
Eighties: Facing a serious enrollment
r. risis, Evergreen brings in a private

marketing firm. Articles being to appear
in the national media, and get talked up
locally. Terms such as "freshman" and
"course" suddenly appear in offical
documents. Terms such as "co-learning"
(the mythical relationship between TESC
faculty and students) begin to disappear.
Boards and committees begin to proliferate. Student-generated curriculum '
virtually disappears. Part-time, single
disciplie "courses" proliferated (until the
enrollment crisis ended, anyway). The
beginning-of-the-school-year drug bust
becomes a tradition . The legistlature is
successfully lobbied for a "football" field
(presented to the Board of Trustees as a
"football/soccer field," and to the
students as a "soccer field"). The traditional triennial COG hearings are abandoned. The faculty follow the staff example, and unionize. The President
abolishes the Evergreen Council. Constituency groups (factions) are encouraged
to organize themselves to facilitate input
into decision-making (i.e. to legitimize
decisions) . The Administration begins to
see the student body as a potential group
of litigants, and the Social Contract as
scant protection-and Eighties-sort of
community awareness. Since students
won't or can't organize themselves into
a viable constituency/faction, the Vice
President for Student Affairs writes her
own governance plan-without student
input-and introduces it over the summer. The Vice President also instructs
the college's lawyer to write a new list of
rules and prohibitions to replace the
Social Contract-without community
input-with a public comment period
running from Thanksgiving break
through Christmas break.
Experiment's End, or Phase II?
Sounds grim, eh? Well, it's all relative.
The Administration remains surprisingly senstive to student input, considering
how easy it would be to ignore. Every
major arbitrary act, except scrapping the
Evergreen Council, was delayed or
reconsidered after student protests.
Shawn Newman's latest draft has
reinstated virtually the entire Social Contract , and the odious list of prohibitions
has been reduced to ten, only seven of

which might lead to expulsion. (Defying
all Greener logic and tradition, private
pot smoking is among the seven, while
public carcinogen smoking is not.)
What has been lost -is the sense of
equality within a community. The new
Social Contract and grievance procedures
put the administration firmly at the top
of the heap-a harsh reality that
Evergreen refused to acknowledge until
now. While the document still claims to
encompass the "Evergreen Community, " all petitions for hearings are sent to
the Vice President for Student Affairs.
It's obvious which constituency this new
document is aimed at.
Now apparently, the students
themselves are acknowledging that same
painful truth the faculty faced when they
unionized-what the staff knew from Day
One-Evergreen is factionalized. It is not
a self-governing community, but an institution subject to the demands and
whims of a l!ll'ger political sphere.
It has a hierarchical managerial class; one
that must balance the demands of
legislators, trustees, busniess interests,
the ~arketing realities of a shrinking pool
of high school graduates, their own intraclass rivalries, and their personal visions
and ethical values. Commitment to consensus and participatory democracy does
not always win out.
The students, last to acknowledge the
artifice of their utopia, may now prove
the force for Evergreen's re-dedicationits re-Greening. "We'll concede them the
constituency issue," one student activist
told me. With their eyes wide open, .
perhaps the students will fmd a new mode
of community governance, in keeping
with the radical spirit of Evergreen, but
stripped of the utopian elements that have
stymied efforts until now.
Or, in anoth~r decade, the students of
Southwest Washington State University
may wonder what all the fuss was about,
my way.

Yes, there seems to have been quite a
trend proceeding through the last decade
or so. Let me hip you to the scene, babe .
I'm talking music , dadio, so check this
out. Let me go back a ways to the time
when Lavern and Shirley pervaded our
visual and auditory senses. Like it's
counterpart Happy Days, the setting was
strictly late fifties style. I submit to you
that at this time in the mid-seventies the
American public was somewhat culturally disoriented. They needed to get back
to the quaint rawness of a time gone by .
From here we can proceed into the late

Stratosphere (XTC). We continued this
trend by delving deeper into acidness
with the recent commercial success of Led
Zeppelin copy bands such as the Cult and
Whitesnake . Obviously we ' re traveling in
a straight forward and scary cultural
ditch .
I ' m at my wit's endthe future is promising·to be quite ~ heli
indeed. Beware: disco is around the
bend . Our ditch seems to be closing in
on that final drainage of musical inappropriaity that found its conceptualization in the late seventies. I'm dusting ofT
my copy of Saturday Night Fever right
now. Who knows. Maybe we ca n enjoy ·
the roller coaster ride this time around .

Bouldings Sing With Strings

'The TilDes of Harvey Milk'

by Maia Bellon
by jeff Large and jenny Strauss
The Times of Harvey Milk is a documentary about the first openly gay elected
public offical in the U.S.
The film tells of Harvey Milk's fight
for office and his tragic assassination, all
the time stressing the point that Milk
wasn't just representing gays, but all people. He was a personal politician who was
concerned with all the communities of
San Francisco, and wanted to make a
change in the local govenrment so that
the view of the common people could be
heard.
Harvey Milk ran for city council three
times and lost without turning bitter or
fatalistic toward the system. He felt that
the issues that effect gay men and lesbians
were issues that affected all peoDle. He
believed that the impingement of freedom
of gays was also an impingement upon
people of color, the elderly, and other
minorities.
Harvey Milk captured his political audience, the same way this documentary
captured its audience, by making them
feel that their struggles were his struggles.

After winning the seat of City Supervisor,
the film shows one of Milk's greatest
challenges-his fight against Proposition
6, a proposal to deny any homosexual or
person with homosexual views to work as
a schoolteacher. This placed an intense
polticial spotlight on Milk, and amid all
the pressure and prejudice Harvey Milk
took charge to stop Proposition 6. It
wasn't long aft~r Milk's success that the
film takes a tragic turn by recounting
Milk's assassination by Dan White.
The film look briefly into the past of
White and the motives he might have
had. Hearing testimony from the case
either made you laugh or sick with
disgust. The defense claimed that
everything from the pressures of being a
father to eating a twinkie were responsible for White's killings of Harvey Milk
and Mayor George Moscone. Also interesting was the fact that there were no
minorities on the jury.
Dan White was found guilty of two
counts of voluntary manslaughter and,
incredibly, only served five years in
prison .

The fUm then shows several clips of
news footage about the riots that occurred after ther verdict, including a clip of
several police cars in flames.
A few years after Dan White was
released from prison her committed
suicide.
The most moving part of the fUm was
the image of the candlelight march
following the assassination, and interviews with Milk's friends. One of the
most interesting scenes was with a white,
middle class automechanic who first held
some very prejudice views of homosexuality, but later changed his mind as he
got to know Harvey Milk. One could feel
the loss these people felt and the auidence
was moved to tears.
It's a shame that Harvey Milk's example is still so desperately needed, as
homophobia is still so prevelant. The
Times of Harvey Milk won an Oscar for
Best Documentary in 1985. The showing
of this film was to benefit the People for
Open Education and was sponsored by
the Lesbian/Gay Resource Center and
E.P.I.C. for more infomation.

The sweet and melodic sounds of ancient Norway, France, Ireland, and
Wales recently fUled Evergreen's Recital
Hall.
The Boulding family: Philip, Pam, and
their five children, arc the Magical
Strings, and the music they play and
compose is indeed magical. The production was put on by KAOS, the campus
radio stationi. The Celtic harps and hammer dulcimers that the Bouldings play are
meticulously hand-crafted by Philp, the
father of the extremely talented family.
The four sons, Geoffrey (violin), Brenin
(cello), Marshall (harp), and Morgan
(harpiscord and organ), accompany their
parents along with a fiver-year old sister
who adds a touch of joy while she dances
on stage.
The Bouldins.rs are currentlv worki'-'Ir
on their fifth album, and their latest

release was entitled On the Burren. The
family resides in the Puget Sound area
and operate the School of Magical
Strings, where they offer beginning harp
and dulcimer classes in Seattle and
Bellevue.
Philip is not merely an artist of the
Celtic harp-He is also a graceful master
of the penny whistle and recorder. And
while Pam can easily transform her audiences on the hammered dulcimer, she
is equally talented with the piano, organ,
ad harpsichord.
As Evergreen alumni Dave Campell
explains, "This family is extremely
talented ... especially in their own compositions, and it amazes me to see the
whole family be so musically inclined.
KAOS brings the best productions to
campus." I must agree, for the house was
packed, and the audience was moved by
the captivating sounds of Magical
Strings.

The Namuki Taika Drummers from
Seattle performed three traditional songs
that blended the vibrations of drums with
the visual movements of an eleven
member contemporary dance group.
Their vibrations sent up enthusiasm into the audience and set the theme for the
rest of the day .
Other entertainers included Tokiwakai
Dancers, Mansan Chorus, Miyagi Kai
(koto players), and Koku Furyu Shigin
(two classical singers, Frank Tanaka and
Kaoru Takamru).
There was an orchestration of Japanese
Kites hung in the Library Lobby from the
privite collection of David Checkley.
The craftmanship of bonsai and
ikebana were also displayed. Many of
these tiny trees and floral arrangements
necessitated many years of patience to
gently mold and shape their growth.
Contemporary and traditional art was
shown, including children's drawing,
sumi painting, silk kimono painting,
Batik , Washiga and Calligraphy.

Artist Mariko Marrs, Hisami Yoshida,
Haruko Moniz, Mikiko, and Hatch
Amagai showed a variety of contemperary paintings and natural fiber art.
Kids County was alive with questions
and interest as children of all ages made
Koinobori (flying fish kites) and origami.
There was also song , games and story
telling that kept even the adults interested. An -Aikido workshop was held
for children over seven who were interested in the martial arts .
The tea ceremony was an intricate and
delicate ceremony steeped in Japanese
tradition . Originally brought to Japan
from China, it serves as a 'tradition of
pleasing others by the gift of tea and
teaches paitence and discipline. It's roots
are in Zen, and it has an involved
psychological and philosophic~l part in
Japanese culture.

_TV Junkie
by Larry John Davenport
Last week I told you how I thought
television had at three or four hours of
quality time per day. Well, you might as
well subtract thirty minutes from each
weekday because channel 11 is now
showing one of the most despicable piles
of steaming refuse I have ever had the
misfortune to witness.
The Hit Squad is all about practical
jokes, which I am strongly against
because I was the butt of many during
my adolescent years . The first episode included a man trying to check into a motel
with a life size rubber doll, strangers who
are told by other strangers that they have
something stuck to the bottom of their
shoes, and a woman who believes she is
in a job interview but the joke's on her.
Ha . Ha. Ha.
On the surface it seems like pretty innocous stuff; this isn't the first show to
prey on the public's gullibility, nor will

it be the last, and after all it's only a
" joke. " But I feel this show promotes the
humiliation of others . In fact I will go so
far as to say that I feel practical jokes can
be the emotional equivalent of rape . Both
are forms of degradation and rob people
of their dignity. The producers even want
to feed off the cruel imaginations of the
vicious elements in our society by asking
them for suggestions of "pranks" they
can pull in the future. I don't know who's
worse, the jackals who produce this garbage, or the ghouls who watch it.
1 have to admit there was one person
I felt particularly sorry for-the woman
who thought she was going to get a job.
It was bad enough they suckered this person into thinking she was going to get a
cushy job, but what I couldn't understand was that she smiled in the end like
they were doing her a favor by jerking her
around in public.
I am a strong advocate for the freedom
of speech and I am not about to infringe

on the rights of the producers of The Hit
Squad, but when great shows like Our

common denominator", then I must
come forward and say "THIS

Palestinian Rights At Issue
by Samantha Chandler
How much do you know about Israel?
And what about the Palestinians? If
you're the average American you probably' know what the U.S. wants you to
know: Palestinians equal terrorism and
the P.L.O. But, do you ,ever equate the
Palestinian situation with that of the
blacks in South Africa? On Tuesday
night four speakers and a videotape urged people to just that.
Alan Nasser, Evergreen faculty, began
the program entitled "Palestinians Have
Rights Too" with a brief history of the
formation of Israel .
European nations decided to give the
Jews Palestine for a homel~lnd as restitution for the crimes committed against
them in the Holocaust. The Zionist motto
- "A land without people for a people
without a land" - illustrates well' the fact
that the Palestinians as a people have not
Namulci Taika Drummers

been recognized since the beginning of
Israeli occupation. The fact that this continues today was the main concern of lecturers Tuesday.
Suheil Hanna , the second speaker, is
a Palestinian-American who was forced
to leave his homeland at age 16, approximately 40 years ago. He spoke'of the initial open arms that Arabs held out to the
immigrating Jews. When Israeli in justices against the Arabs became evident , the Arabs retained faith that the
U . S. would come to their aid.
A~ it became obvious that U.S. support was with the Israilis and that the
Palestinians would not be recognized as
a people , they were forced to organize in
a way to make thems~Ives known. The
most obvious example of this is the
P.L.O.
Through the media, P.L.O . activity is
termed "terrorist." But, after viewing an
NBC program called "Six Days and

Twenty Years! A Dream is Dying" as
pan of the program, it became evident
that what the U.S . terms P.L.O . terrorism is equivocal to the actions of the
Israeli military. Of Israeli occupation,
Tom Brokaw described the Arab plight
as "being in the wrong place at the wrong
time."
After the video, Beatrice Youtz spoke
briefly of her disdain for the U .S .'s policy
of allowing American Jews to immigrate
to Israel - live there - and yet retain their
U .S . citizenship and all its privileges .
The program ended with Teresa Perrin, U.S . Arab Relations Committee,
asking everyone to "adopt a scholarly attitude towards the Middle East. Learn ,
keep leaning and keep asking questions. "

above her wildly curly hair
she laughs once, and then,
trailing her fingers, her hands,
slowly down over the lines,
the contours, of her body,
from neck to hips, she sighs, "ohshe is the darling of my life today."
and she laughs again
way down deep in her throat.

Paige McThenia

Down on the street. .. it could be a mile
and a half, you know, from his apartment, a single guy's rooms, they could
be a garage, you know, storage for a man
with cornflakes like gas cans and a sink
like old tires in the corner .. . the people
and the automobiles looked very small to
. Danny in the morning light and shadows .
The bare toes of his right foot curled and
clung to on the radiator. He tried to keep
his hands from clenching.
When Danny's hands started making
fists it tensed his whole body to his neck
at the base of his s:.ull, causing dull,
unpleasant headaches. You know.
Danny was staring out the window of
his apartment trying to relax with one
part of his mind, trying to bring the street
into proper perspective with another aprt

and trying to decide what he wanted
overall.
I t shouldn't have been a difficult decision, you know; Danny was young,
healthy, well brought up, amusing, good
looking, educated. He should not only
have known what he wanted, you know,
he should have been engaged in the
lifelong process of getting it for himself.
But you see he didn't and wasn't.
The bare heel of his left foot idly tapped the kitchen chair behind, then'
harder, then rocked it, and he looked
down at two fists leaning on the window
sill. The itreet was getting closer, the cars
and the people normal size ... it could
have been on a television set you know ...
and Danny was a bit alarmed by the
clairy of details he was noticing. He watched a frow'n and its accompanying
gestures by a woman in the passenger

seat of a blue truck so closely that it made
him think she lived with a husband in a
pre-fab under constant financial obligations to various parties. They lived in
debt. Danny could see it in the gesture
of defeated ddiance in the face of the
obligations.
A boy and a girl walked by In the opposite direction of traffic flow and Danny didn't think they were in debt. He enjoyed the way the girl hopped and skipped a little, even packed in her winter
clothes, and the way the boy, hunched into an overcoat and bored by the street,
shook back his hair and lifted up his face
when they came to a sun filled section of
the sidewalk.
The phone was ringing. Someone was
trying to get through to Danny.
"Hello?" He answered it. There was
blank silence. "Dad?", He asked it. The
line went dead.

UMOJA

Been wondering why there wasn't an
on-campus celebration of Martin Luther
King's birthday this quarter? Spokesman
Tony Greenidge says there is a reason.
"The college didn't put any effort into
making it part of the curriculum ... into
bringing it into the classroom on his real
birthday, which is January 15."
Greenidge, UMOJA's coordinator, was
one of the speakers at the Martin Luther
King Celebration, which was held at the
Washington Center in downtown Olympia on January 18.

The way Martin Luther
Kind said it, the way it
relates to the eighties, is that
everybody can have a
dream . It 's notjustJor the
Jew, or even the oppressed.
Everyone has a dream oj
bettering themselves, and
can look to Martin Luther
King. I know I've enjo)led
some oj the tributes that
have been put to him over
the yearf, and especially in
the last Jew days because oj
his birthday. Everbody can
have a dream.

The dream means, to me,
being able to operate in a
worldwithout cultural suppositions or prejudice. It
means being able to value
everyone's differences and
expect
equal
also
c"nsideration.

Elizabeth Schneider

Fred Samuels

Julie Goodrich

Basically just to be what
The dream to me is where
It means no more prejudice;
you are. The dream is to be
the color oj man 's skin has
broth erhood
Jar
yourself, Jind what you 're
no more significance than
everybody. -So there'd be
loohngJor out oj life, and
the color oj his eyes.
no more wars, no more

Jighting, no more racism .
