Downtown

Ever been kicked out of your
home? No, no, not by your
parents. By a city. By a rich
person. By progress.
Well, I'm about to be, and so
are a whole' lot of other people.
And a lot of people have been
already. I'm talking about the
so-called "revitalization" of
downtown Olympia_ This fullboar assault on an established
community, as well as good
taste, might be more appropriately described as the
large scale extermination of
ReniOl- citizens, students, and
low-income youth from the
curre ntly-fashionable downtown
core.
Talk about heartless
capitalists.
.
Seriously, it makes you look
at the big, ugly picture; when
business and government get
an idea in t heir heads, not a
hope in heaven is going to stop
them, unless it's someone with
mOl'e money or a 'bigger car.
Michael Mogensen jumped into this one last week, and came
up with the story f~om all
sides. Please see it on page 8.
In addition, fiesty advice for
tenant's from Sue Grant of
ThUl-ston County Tenants'
Knowledge Organization is
available to all on page 10.
On a rather sour note, it appeal'S that budgetary crises will
limit t he JOURNAL to a sad and
measly 24 pages from this day
on. and a lot of us have quit
getting paychecks too. So ... ,
when drafting your will, please
consider making a bequest to
the COOPER POINT JOURNAL .

Correction:
Two recent mistakes: the new student
self-evaluation policy reported on page
foul' of the January 15 issue ha,s
already gon e into effect, the article
stated that it would not be in effect until Spring.
Also, on page 10 of last week's issue,
an opinion piece by Perry Morse was
in mlTectly labeled as the third govern,lI1 et' proposal. The article by William
Lott on the same page was, in fact,

First People

To the Editor:
Are AsianlPacific students First People?
After realizing that the title of last week's
article was not a misprint, I tried to think
of a couple of quick comebacks. With none
coming to mind, my only answer can be yes,
of course they are. They are as much First
People as the rest of the organizations that
Kathleen's article omitted are. It's too bad
that, as the editor of an S & A funded
newspaper you failed to catch this omission
of Women of Color, The Evergreen Indian
Center, and staff membef April WestBaker. Together, all of these groups including Umoja, AsianlPacific Island Coalition, and MeCHa are important to the
autonomy of the coalition and students of
color in this community. Since you, the
CPJ, are one of this community's main
sources of information, I suggest that you
spend some time in the S & A office to
become more familiar with the different
organizations involved at Evergreen. You
may be surprised at how many there actuallyare_
To all of my relations,

Amerika

Dear Program Manager, KOMO TV:
I am disturbed by your projected presentation of "Amerika." Free expression is
good but not screaming "fire" in a theatre
when the screamer is in control of the
smoke. At a time when most people want
to see peace in the world, you have become
the tool of our reactionary government
which reared the red herring into a red
shark.
More than bad taste and yellow journalism, anti-Soviet propaganda is a disser-

vice to our nation. Since the Russian
Revolution of 1917, capitalist nations have
feared the loss of their freedom to do
business in the world. The "conservative"
think tanks have brainwashed the public into thinking the issue is freedom in terms
of human rights when the issue is free
enterprise_
The conservatives don't have enough confidence in their system to compete with
communism_ If they supported Third World
e~orts to achieve democracy, they wouldn't
approve of military dominated elections using numbered ballots. People don't choose
to be dominated by another nation.
Another reason for playing "cold war" is
because making arms is so good for
business. I believe that Russia, France and
Japan and countries who have experienced bombing demonstrated their fear of war.
. I further believe Russia's build-up is a reaction to our behavior.
The Heritage Foundation, a well-financed
conservative "think tank" and the National
Review, for example, have a symbiotic relationship with the mighty power brokers.
They are winning politically and
economically. That they have permeated
communication is clear to me when I viewed PBS' "Religion in Russia" and your projected "Amerika."
Seattle boasts of having the largest
number of library-book borrowings in the
country. Are you serving your community?
Yours Truly,
Irene Mark Buitenkant

Leonard Peltier

Deru; Friend;
I t is with great outrage that we write to
inform you of the September 11, 1986 decision of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold the conviction of Leonard
Peltier. While admitting that crucial
evidence used against Leonard was not
valid, thethreejudges(GeraldW_ Heaney,
Donald R. Ross, and John R. Gibson) deemed that, in their opinion, this would not have
changed the outcome of Peltier's case. In
the words of Leonard's attorney, William
Kunstler, "It is impossible for any judge to
ho!,)estly reach this conclusion .. Jn denying
Peltier a new trial, the 8th Circuit has
replaced the 7th Calvalry as the enemy of
the Indian People_"
Recently, members of the Canadian
Parliament recognized what we have all
known for a long time: that the continued

incarceration of Leonard Peltier is "clearly government abuse of the investigative
process, suppression of evidence, and
falsehood." Legal briefs seeking a new trial
for Peltier have been filed by more than 50
members of the U.S. House of Representatives; by the National Association of
Criminal Defense Lawyers; by theCalifornia Attorneys for Criminal Justice; and by
diverse religious groups. Even the U.S.
Prosecutor has admitted that he does not
know who killed the F .B.I. agents.
Yet the judges involved continue to ignore the evidence and the requests from
respected members of society, choosing instead to protect the F.B.I. from any admission of wrong-doing in this travesty of
justice. Just as Sitting Bull was murdered
unarmed; just as Crazy Horse was stabbed
in the back; just as Chief Joseph's trust was
betrayed; the modern U.S. judicial system
is involved in a continue{) conspiracy of
deceit to deny justice to our brother,
Leonard Peltier.
We need to bring more publicity to the
people to explain Leonard's situation, and
use that publicity to generate pressure on
those who would deny Leonard's freedom.
Within the next two weeks, we will be applying for a re-hearing of Leonard's case
before all eleve'n judges of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. If this fails, we will
try to reach .the U.S. Supreme Court with
our pleas for a new and fair trial.
We currently have no funds and, as you
know, it is impossible to carry on our efforts
without money. Any monetary support we
receive will help us circulate infonnation on
Leonard Peltier's struggle for justice and
other Native American struggles, including
continuing education awareness projects
-and consciousness-raising around the world.
In the Spirit of Crazy Horse
Pray for The People,
Leonard Peltier Defense 'Committee

teen center

Dear Reader,
A few days ago, my 12-year-old friend and
I passed by the'c()nstruction of a new deliservice station. When she remarked on it,
I thought, "What is really needed here?"
-- certainly not another of the above. Such
a waste. Nearly anything can be done in our

communities according to the laws and
customs governing "free enterprise."
We need a teen center, a place where
growing·up kids can hang·out in their own
place. They could participate together in
the initial design and building of it as well
as its operation.
All of our towns and cities need places for
kids to congregate together. Also, we need
to use empty buildings for artists of all
media to produce, create, experiment.
There is no "profit," in the capitalistic
sense, from being a kid, or from the contributions of beauty by our artists and
poets, nor from the bees who make honey,
or the trees that cleanse our air and give us
a sense of natural connectIOn to the earth.
If our systems are really those of a free
humanity, then they must function accor.
ding to these fundamental necessities, as
well as the superficial motives and needs
of mere material profit.
Sincerely,
B. Bish, OSF (Order of St. Francis)

governance

To anyone who cares,

"

~

•

What is going on, folks? It's good to see
people concerned about governance, only
lift your heads to see where you're going
every now and then. All of the proposals
are heading in the same direction ... and the
destination doesn't look pretty. Look up!
Do you need it in black and white to understand what is going on around here?
Okay. A while back President Olander
said (in a few more words) get a student
governance structure together or the administration will give you one. What that
means is the administration wants students
to come up with a structure which will fit
into the college's existing bureaucratic
structure. Why they want the students to
do that becomes unimportant once you
realize there are few places that a student
governance structure can fit in_
Last week's authors write that students
are the numerical majority_ Well, folks, in
modern culture there is only one place in
which the majority fits and that is at the
bottom of the bureaucratic hierarchy -- the
foundation on which others stand_ When
you're stuck in the ditch, it don't matter if
you got a lemon or not -- neither goes
anyplace.

If the administration wants a student
governance structure, let them try to get
one going_ If they want an effective, efficient and legitimate way of dealing with
students, why help? (I doubt they will have
much better results than the students have
had_)
Evergreen has a structure in place for individuals to get involved. It includes open
meetings -- that means anyone can attend.
"Anyone" includes students.
If you, as students, are concerned about
what is going on at Evergreen, why not
direct your energy toward developing an
infonnation structure? A process which infonns students about issues, helps them
understand the existing structures and
directs them to the appropriate person will
do more for students' interests than any
fonn of watered-down "democracy" with a
stamp of legitimacy.
Another question. With so much commitment to helping student governance work,
why do ~tudent information groups continually disappear?
In this "knot of causes" in which we find
ourselves at Evergreen, we cannot afford
to separate events. The governance process, S & A, the moving of student offices,
the fate of information groups and even
one's problems in seminar are all related.
Do you want someone else looking after
your interests?

Burger King

Dear CPJ,
I feel that Chris Shuh has an incomplete
perspective on Burger King's products. So
does the CPJ, for that matter, since you
carry their ads (although I'm sure that the
last thing you want is another advertising
controversy).
What many chewers of innocent bovine
flesh don't realize is that the beef Burger
King and other fast food chains use
originates in Central and South America.
By buying beef from there, they save you
gounnands five cents on each burger, all in
the name of carnivore convenience.
The direct and ongoing consequence is
destruction of priceless primordial tropical
rainforests. U.S. demand for imported cow
encourages expansion of cattle ranching,
which leads to rainforest devastation. Half

of the previously existing rainforests in
Central America have been destroyed.
Unlike our northern temperate forests, .
tropical rainforests do not regenerate.
Deforestation in combination with low soil
fertility and rapid erosion soon turns these
areas into scrubland or desert.
Cattle ranching for U.S. markets is only
part of a very complex problem_ The worldwide rate of tropical deforestation approaches a mind-boggling 750,000 acres a
week, 1 to 3 acres a second.
So, if you've got a hankerin' for some fast
hoof-on-a-bun, think of every bite as lost
primary ecological diversity. Whether you
care about this or not, it's a whopper of a
crime.

'CAB faces
uncertain future

Founded in 1971, The Evergreen State
College gave birth to many new ideas, one
being the College Activities Building. The
CAB was designed not only to serve as a
social space to facilitate interaction between
students, faculty and staff, but also the entire Evergreen community. This concept
differed from the idea of a "student union"

in that no provision was included for student governance offices, ' ordinarily a
hallmark for a "student union." Still, student priority was the founding principle of
the CAB, according to library archive
materials and S & A budget files.
Although state funds facilitated the construction of the CAB building, student ser-

tionable, it can produce a false sense of
security, insurance compariy discrimination,
the confidentiality is uncertain, and for
some men it can be psychologically
devastating to be tested positively.
The show was produced by eight people
who had little or no experience with radio
Esther said, though she was reluctant to
give the names of others due to
"homophobia.' ,
Who is Lesbian-Gay Focus' prospective
audience? "I'd like our audience to, of
course, be members of the gay community, but also anyone else who is interested
in lesbian and gay issues," Esther said.
The next show will air February 12 at
9:30 p_m. on KAOS 89.3 FM.

vices and activities fees paid for all utilities,
maintenance, and custodial charges (except
in the bookstore, for conferences, and food
services; however in some years even.expenses for these areas were paid). In addition S & A also financed remodeling, additions, extended insurance coverage, Ilnd accumulated debts by food services, operations, bookstore, motor pool and housing.
In 1981, S & A donated $103,000 to the administration in support of faculty and student salaries. In return, the Board of
Trustees agreed to 1) maintain student
spaces for &rganization funded through
S & A at pre~nt level for 10 years, unless
that space was replaced by a better space,
and 2) continue to pay CAB support from
state's general fund building budget.
The Board of Trustees followed through
with this proposal, so in 1983 the cost of
utilities and other such services went down.
Student offic~s, now located on the 3rd
floor of the Library building, have 5 years
remaining on their lease, Unless the 1981
agreement is renegotiated by the administration. However, due to the increase
in student Population, exacerbating the current office-space crunch, this renegotiation
looks highly improbable; student offices,
therefore, will most likely be moved into
the CAB -building.
This complex procedure will take time,
organization and money. Should student
groups receive no financial support from
the administration, the cost could be an insurmountable financial obstacle for all extracurricular student groups. How can this
crisis be prevented? Through student involvement, for one, seeing as students
would be the ones directly affected by such
a move. In response to this need for student participation, a space planning committee is being developed to discuss how
facilities can be utilized to accomodate the
projected future growth. Other topics for
discussion will include the cost of relocating
organizations, sources, of funding, and a
clear policy concernlng CAB usage. Immediate student involvement is necessary
to keep S & A groups strong and healthy
throughout these readju~tmentft ,
To become involved, contact the S & A
board or a student coordinator_

Dear Editor:
In response to Chris Schuh's letter in the
January ~ issue of the CPJ, I would like
to point out that the Burger King ad is not
misleading at all. As anyone who has
patronized Burger King during the last few
years knows, Buger King's meat patties are
of the same approximate size as a Susan B.
Anthony dollar (not to disparage the
wonderful achievements of Ms. Anthony,
even if her coin is a mutant failure). What
Burger King has done is fmd buns of an appropriate size and serve the resultant
midget burgers three at a time in' a cute little bOx, fobbing the whole thing off as a
brilliant gimmick ad campaign.
As to Mr. Schuh's addressing his letter
"Dear Sirs," I must point out that the new
generation of American male is heir to a
legacy of sexual prejudice which is the product of hundreds of years of patriarchy. Mr.
Schuh is but a helpless victim of a malignant social order, as, sadly, am I. That is
why I'm about to make the following sensitive comment: "HEY, JENNIFER!
CHRIS SCHUH ASSUMED, BASED ON
YOUR EXCELLENT WORK AS
EDITOR, THAT THE CPJ WAS
EDITED BY MEN! IN MY BOOK
THAT'S A COMPLIMENT."
'
Whoa, lost it for a second there.
Hey, no, really, I'm a feminist ... cough,
cough, err, urn, I mean PRO-FEMINIST.
May Alan Alda go upside my head with the
Hite Report.
Incorrigibly yours,

with Jim Holm from the Dorian Group, and
a studio interview with a lesbian woman
who is new to E.vergreen and its gay

Physicist
gets hip

For almost fifte.en years, physicist
Thomas Grissom was so engrossed in
developing neutron generators that he '
could almost forget their purpose -- triggering nuclear weapons. But then the worm
of doubt began to gnaw at him, and the past
began to speak to him. His misgivings grew
until he quit his job in 1985. Today he is a
faculty member at Evergreen.
Grissom will discuss the scientific
research community's dilemma in working
on military defense 'projects, and his own
decision to stop working on the development of nuclear weapons at the "Piece of
My Mind" lecture series on Wednesday,
February 4 in the First United Methodist
Church, 1224 East Legion Way downtown.
"Piece of My Mind" is a community forum
for exploring the moral and ethical issues
confronting our society. It is co-sponsored
by the First United Methodist Church, St.
Martin's College, and Evergreen.
The talk begins promptly at 12:10 p.m.
and ends at 12:50 p.m. Brown bag lunchers
are welcome and beverages are provided.
For more information, call 866-6000 x6128.

At the Big Mountain Support Group
meeting on January 15, members voted to
expand and become OASIS, the Olympia
Alliance for Support of Indigenous Struggles. This transformation occurred in order
to better serve their purpose as a more
broad-based support group for indigenous
persons world-wide.
Debora Sklar, founding member, said
that by becoming OASIS "we can educate
people on the many other issues besides Big
Mountain." The vote came after mutual
frustration was expressed within the group
at being a one-issue o.rganization. Of course,
the struggles of the Navajo at the Big

Mountain reservation will continue to be a

Rick Fellows, an active member of
OASIS who lived at Big Mountain for three
months, described the goals of OASIS as
"outreach, education, and action." Sklar
added, "people hear about Native
American struggles, but it doesn't connect,
because city people don't understand what
it is to lose their land. We've been screwing them over for years and we've got to

Brazil's e'n vironmental crisis
Brazil faces the challenges of urbanization, huge industrial growth, pollution,
deforestation, reclamation of agricultural
lands destroyed by 19th Century coffee
plantations and rapid population growth.
Brazilian Professor Jose Drummond will
inaugurate the Evergreen Environmental
Forum with a lecture/discussion on "Environmental Issues and Polky in Brazil" on
Friday, January 30, from noon until 2 p.m.
at the Olympia Timberland Library. The
free series is sponsored by Evergreen's
Master of Environmental Studies (MES)
Program.
.
Drummond, a political science professor
at Universidade Federal Fluminese, Rio de
Janeiro, is currently working with the MES

Program. His studies in political science
have led him to a concern for the environmental problems facing his native
land. Recently, he has been working with
other Brazilian teachers and researchers
who are interested in building an Environmental Studies Institute as a permanent interdisciplinary research and consulting body. The Institute would be the
first of its kind in Brazil.
Dr. Tom Rainey, director of the MES
Program, reports that the free forum will
be held every six weeks, featuring speakers
on environmeptal issues and policies.
Brown-bag lunchers are welcome. Complete details are available at x675O.

Do you remember the elecction this past
November 4? Do you remember
WashPIRG's efforts to register students to
vote for Referendum 40 about Hanford,
prior to the last official day to register to
vote, October 5, thirty days prior to the
election?
As it was, WashPIRG succeeded in
registering about 270 students to vote between September 23 and October 5, over
10% of the campus in less than two weeks.
But how many students would have
registered if the deadline for registering
was pushed back another fifteen days to October 201
Although the answer to this question
would be mere specUlation, it is intuitive
that more students would have registered.
Some students, particularly those from outof-state, were probably not aware of the importance of the vote on Referendutn 40 until it was too late to vote. If the deadline
to register was flfteen days later, many of
these students would have been politicized enough to consider registering to vote
if the opportunity had been present.
. WashPIRG is supporting legislation to
move the voter registration deadline back
15 days. This could ensure greater student
participation in future elections, particularly since 18-21 year-olds votE> in far less proportions than other age brackets.
For further information about this issue,
contact the WashPIRG office at 866-6000,

surrounding the closing of the Clyde Apartments last winter. Since then, other apartment buildings have been closed and the
availability of low-income units downtown,
and in surrounding areas, continues to
dwindle.
Downtown "revitalization" has caused
some alarm in the community, especially
among students living downtown. Will
those living in low cost housing be forced
to move to Lacey (oooh!) or other distant
areas? Whose fault is all this, and how can
it be prevented?

Sue Grant of the Tenants' Knowledge
Organization, a non-profit tenants' rights
group, says that "unfortunately, I don't
know of anything stronger than groups getting together and publicly protesting.
Public pressure is the only thing I know of
that will stop the landlords from evicting."
She also said that "public pressure is the
worst thing that can happen to a landlord,
and that it is time someone took a stand.
There is, for instance, nothing stopping a
group of people from getting together and
going after a federal subsidy, where a
tenants union would come in handy."

How exactly did the "housing crisis"
come about? Has there always been a need

Evergreen students, who were brought
here by the college, but choose to live
downtown because of the cultural atmosphere, or because it's cheaper than living in the dorms. Slim Moon, a student living in the Eastside/downto'fll area says,
"It's (Evergreen Housing) overpriced,
cramped, and the social scene there is
ridiculous. The only adavantage pf living on
campus is transportation, but I would
rather spend my time downtown or offcampus in general."
Would there be a housing crisis if
students brought here by Evergreen
weren't living downtown? Do senior
citizens want to live downtown, or would
they prefer the quieter Westside or
Eastside? One woman commented that
"It's (Olympia) getting to be a big city, I'm
seeing a lot of changes from what it used to
be. I don't feel safe walking around at night

INTERVIEW

Jennifer: What type of legislation is needed to protect the lawincome housing that does exist?

Tenants' Knowledge

deals with the facts
This article is part ofa weekly interview series in which the Journal will talk with members of the cammunity who hold diverse
and interesting views, ar who have specific krwwledge which may
further our understanding of our cammunity and the issues facing it. This week the CPJ 's editar interviewed Susan Grant of the
Thurston County Tenants Krwwledge Organization. Susan, along
' with other staff warkers, advises local tenants, as well as
landlords, on their legal rights. TKO is a non-projit organization.

put one of those out two years ago. That's what we basically do;
we read them every interpretation that there is plus the actual
'document, and then we help them problem-solve. We write letters for them if necessary, both landlords and tenants. We make
phone calls; we try to intercede before it gets to court action.

Jennifer: Are Olympia 'slaw income tenants adequately protected
under the law?
'

~ue: Well, I think it's wonderful for the city, for the businesses.

Sue: That's a loaded question. No,
I don't think so, but that's a really loaded question; neither are the
landlords. The Landlord Tenant
Act ~s written in 1973, fourteen
years ago, rhere have been a couple of amendments to the
Landlord Tenant Act; we believe
that it needs to be rewritten, to
protect the landlords and the
tenants. And also to save both of
them lots of money that they
spend in court with unlawful detainer actions. I t costs the
landlord about $250 to take a tenant to court for non-payment of
rent, which is the only legal
grounds for eviction in this state.
We've had a lot of cases that could
have been settled outside of court
and it would have saved the taxpayers a lot of money, as well as
the judges time, and the court's
time, and the attorney's time.
Jennifer: So, you think the document is too vague?
Sue: I think it's very vague, I
think it's too complicated. They do
allow for arbitration and mediation by a third party, but up to
now, I believe, it's been done by attorneys, and it has to be done
by the court. We feel that TKO should come in before it get's to
the point where they even have to go to court. That's where we
come in. That's where most tenant organizations do come in. '
Jennifer: Are you mostly involved with tenants ar landords?

o

Sue: We're about sixty-forty -- 60% tenants, 40% landlords. It may
be a little higher.
We give the same information to the tenants as we give to the
landlords. We quote the Washington State Landlord Tenant Act,
and we read them the interpretation by the attorney general's
office, which is available to everyone here. I think WashPIRG also

Jennifer: What is your perception of downtawn Olympia's
''revitalization?'' Who is it helpiw, who is it hurting?

You know, this is the capitol city
of the state, and I think it's really
wonderful for the city to
revitalize. You can drive through
many ml\ior citie!! in any state
here in the U.S. and see
everything closed up, because of
the economy. I think (revitalization) is good for us in that way.
But with something good there
always comes something bad. The
people are the ones that are hurt
-- the people living downtown as
they're revitalizing all of the
buildings, remodeling, rebuilding.
They're the ones who get affected.
In Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater,
there are a lot of low income people. As a matter of fact, I'd say
25% wealthy, and 75% middle- to
low-income people that we deal
with. My opinion is, yes, there's
somebody that always does get
hurt when a city decides to
revitalize. Yes, ' it affects people.
Let's face it, let's deal with the
facts. TKO has always dealt with
the facts. The low-income housing
that is here in town has been shut
down, and more and more new
phutu LUur te~y or the Alliance
landlords are 'buying property,
they're going to improve the property, and the low-income peo, pie are being shoved out into the street. I am very opinionated;
I think that the human factor is never taken into consideration
\until after the fact, and you can quote me on that.

Sue: I think the city should buy property, the city itself should
write grants to buy property for living. And revitalize it -- they've
got the rehab program here -- and I think that should be rented
to low-income people to live in. Safe, sanitary housing. I think the
city can do that.
Jennifer: Haw has the landlard ...tenant landscape changed as
Evergreen has grown? .
Sue: We have a lot of students that come to us with landlord problems. Landords don't like to rent to students; students are transients, students are only here for a certain amount of time an d
then they move on to find other housing. Landlords don't like to
rent to military people, either. Military people move on, military
people "party." Landords don't like to rent to people on welfare,
or low-income people, although they are in the most stable situation. But low-income people have a stigma attached to them. The
welfare syndrome type thing: "All they do is buy beer and drugs
and party, all they do is have babies to stay on welfare. So they
all have men living with them and they're all whores." You know
students, people on public assistance, and military people all fall
into the same category, and I feel there is some discrimination
by Borne landlords, but not all of them.
Kathy Carpenter (Assistant Director of TKO): I think just in
the year's time I've been involved with TKO, I've seen housing
that was available for students dwindling, just in this past year's
time.
Sue: I think students are good for downtown. I mean, let's face
it, the more students you have, ~he more low-income people you
have, the more the people are going to shop downtown, the more
the economy is going to pick up. But people don't look at it that
way. And the senior-citizen population, they fit right in there, too.
People don't want to rent to them either. So, what does that leave?
Exactly who does that leave?
Jennifer: Any advice far tenants?

Kathy: It feels good when you have a particularly, or potentially,
explosive situation, and somebody says, "I've been trying to talk
to this guy for months now about this problem." It feels good when
you can say, OK, this is what the law is, and we'll be happy to
write a letter. When you can get the two sides to come together
to some kind of agreeme:nt and the problem is solved with taking
that stuff to gQ to court, without somebody threatening to kick
you out in the street, or without a tenant retaliating, saying, "I'm
going to make sure that this place is trashed when I move out."
We've gotten a couple of those. One satisfying aspect is to take
care of the problem.
Sue: We're the last stop. That's the reaSon we,formed. We were
a bunch of low-income tenants living in farm and home subsidized
housing over here in Tumwater and Olympia and Shelton, and
Yelm, and we all, 350 families, got together because there was
a landlord that came around that was really very abusive -physically and verbally -- to low-income people.
The satisfaction is helping; we're born helpers. We're the 'only
ones they can turn to, they've been through the syste!TI as it exists here in Thurston County, and even in other places, and they
come to us and it's a hell of a problem. I don't think we've had
any two exactly alike.
Kathy: The satisfaction comes in talking to the person that walks
through the door (Sue: -- acknowledging them --) at wit's end and
saying, "My god, what am I going to do." You can say, "This is
what the law says, this is what you can do." And then watching
them walk out saying, "All right, now I know how I'm going to
handle this."
Sue: Empowering people gives us satisfaction, empowering people to fight for their rights, that's onE! of our satisfactions.
Kathy: The real satisfaction comes when we do end upgoing into
the courtroom with a tenant that we've "given"the law to, the
power of the law.
Sue: And we sit and support them and watch them win their case

Sue: Yes. We tell everybody that if they've got a complaint, to
put it in writing to their landlord and keep a copy. And keep it
on me. Always get a copy of your rental agreement, keep copies
of all receipts. If you need a repair, don't call them up, put it in
writing and keep a copy, that way they'll have a record of it.

Kathy: And pat them on the back, and have them stand up, right
alongside an attorney that's representing the other side, and having the judge say, "You're right." That feels good, walking out
of the courtroom, that feels good, all right.

Jennifer: I'm sure you experience a lot offrustration in your job,
but I was hoping that you C'ltld talk about sorne of the satisfying
aspects.

Sue: Making them feel good, making people feel good about
themselves by empowering them with their rights and responsibilities, the knowledge and the know-how to do it. 0

Jennifer: Is the way that Olympia is going about revitalization
going to help the city econamically in a substantial way?
Sue: Yes,_the city will be helped, the economy will be helped, but
what about the people? The people are not going to be helped
unless the city provides housing for the people. And I don't see
where that is going to come from because all of the federal grants,
the housing grants, are being cut.

No one ever sang Iilu; Clyde McPhatter.
He could wrap a note tight around his high
pitched tenor voice and then just twist,
shattering it into so many pieces. He paved the way for Ray Charles and Aretha
Franklin, singing R & B with the intensity of gospel.
Last week, he became one of fifteen musicians inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. Others included The Coast~rs, Eddie Cochran, Bo Did:
dley, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Bill
Haley, B.B. King, Rick Nelson, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkings, Smokey Robinson,
Joe Turner, Muddy Waters, and Jackie
Wilson.
"I fell in love with the man's voice," said
fellow inductee, Jackie Wilson. "I toured
with the group (The Dominoes) and watched Clyde and listened ... "
.
Given the magnitude of such names and
talent, though, the inclusion of someone
with a career so badly documented ~ Clyde
McPhatter's is significant.
McPhatter is best known for his solo
recordings of A Lover's Question (1958) and
Lover Please (1962), and his recordings of
The Bells of St. Mary's and White
Christmas by the Drifters in 1953. None of
these sides, however, is among his best
recordings.
His best remains scattered in this country. They can be found among the first
three volumes of a four volume set of the
Dominoes' recordings on the King label, on
several collections of the Drifters greatest
hits, and on numerous singles of his solo
career kept in the mainstream by Atlantic
Records.

"McPhatter," Bill Millar wrote in his
book, The J>ri[ters, "took hold of the Ink
Spots' simple chord harmonies, drenched
~hem in call-and-response patterns and sang
as if he were back in church. In doing so,
he created ~ revolutionary musical style
from which -- thankfully -- popular music
has never recovered." Listening to the
Dominoes, or -- to a lesser extent -- the
Drifters, you can hear the direct iirrIuences
of McPatter'sgospel training.

He began his career singing gospel hymns
with the Mount Lebanon Singers, rehearsing on the steps of Harlem tenements
around 127th and 131st Streets. Later, he
entered the weekly amateur night contest
at the Apollo Theatre -- and won. Billy
Ward decided immediately to disband his
old group (The Ques) in order to build a new •
group around McPhatter's soaring, high pitched tenor vocals: The Dominoes.
From 1951 until 1952 Billy Ward and the
Dominoes scored high on the R & B charts
with song's featuring the vocals of Clyde

McPhatter, including That's What You're
Doing To Me (#7), I Am With You (#8), and
Have Mercy Baby (#1).
The popUlarity of Have Mercy Baby
established McPhatter; it wasn't long until McPhatter finally broke away from Billy Ward. Ward payed McPhatter and the
other Dominoes $100 a week -- with deductions for taxes, food, and hotel bills as well
as levying.a sy_stem of fines. "Ward ran the
Dominoes," said Atlantic producer, Ahmet
Ertugen, "like an army." One night Ward
fired all The Dominoes during a financial
argument. The next day McPhatter was in
New York, working for Atlantic Records
with a new group called the Drifters.
His first release with the Drifters, Money
Honey, made it to #1 on the R & B charts
and was covered by Elvis Presley. But his
stay with the Drifters lasted only two
years, when, in 1955? he was drafted into
the army.
After his release from the army, McPhatter continued to rel!ord as a solo artist and
hit the charts with such songs as Seven
Days (1956), Rock and Cry (1957), and A
Lover's Question (1958), often overcoming
very mediocre material. By 1960 he had left
Atlantic, moving to MGM, and later the
same year, to Mercury. Mter Lover Please, '
in 1962, there were no more hits.
Clyde McPhatter died in 1972 -- at the age
of 38. A year before his death, he had been
interviewed by Marcia Vance. When she
was introduced to him as a fan, he replied:
"I have no fans."
Unable to recapture his success, he died
a forgotten rnai'l. Today, he can be heard only as a faint echo in the music of Smokey
Robinson and Ben E. King.D

ANALYSIS

Olander's
Recreation Complex

without representation. We do not say that
something of this sort will happen in the
future. With the current recreation staff we
feel that it is unlikely. But how long will
they be here? And how long will the gym
be here?

The Evergreen Ideal
by Todd Anderson and Paul Tyler
This year the Evergreen Administration
is requesting six million dollars to build a
new recreational complex. The complex
wouid include basketball courts, exercise
rooms, offices and some classrooms. It
would be paid for With state construction
bonds that, once interest payments were included, would cost the taxpayers twice the
six-million dollar figure. In addition, it
would create significant increases in the college's facilities and maintenance costs. It
is our belief that this proposal would be a
poor use of taxpayer dollars and a disservice to the ideal of alternative education
that draws most of Evergreen's students
to this campus.
It is unusual that a campus the size of
Evergreen's should lack a large sports and
recreation complex. When the money was
allocated for the construction of Evergreen
the original planners decided to use the
recreation budget to bujld a first-rate swimming pool. A few years later, when
Evergreen was having trouble recruiting
and keeping students, a study recommended that a recreational complex would be a
valuable asset for attracting and retaining
students. A task force was charged with
developing a plan for the project. Today,
as everybody knows, Evergreen is turning
students away. But the bureaucratic
momentum begun nearly a decade ago con:
tinues to push for the recreati9nai complex,
despite the fact that the original rationale
for its construction has evaporated.

We do not see how spending millions of
dollars on a gymnasium is going to help
much in creating a financially and physically
healthy state. It will be very nice if you happen to be a member of the Evergreen community, but it won't do much for the
unemployed logger in Aberdeen or the illiterate mother in Seattle. Spending state
tax dollars on this project is the institutional equivalent of using food stamps to
buy wine.
It is not just the Washington taxpayer
who will bear the burden-of this project.
Tuition costs at the state institutions vary
based on the cost of running the school's
physical plant. Evergreen already has the
highest ratio of facility maintenance costs
to number of students in the state. It has
been a constant sore spot with Evergreen's
critics in the legislature. Building a new
recreational complex will mean that more
heating, cooling, and maintenance money
must be spent without adding any more
students. It will mean that students' tuition
will rise. It will mean that Evergr~n will
continue to look like an innefficient and
money-wasting proposition.
Students will pay in another way, too. If
the recreational facility is completed, it is
virtually certain that it will be used. If you
build freeways you get cars. If you build
gyms you get athletic programs. At
Evergreen, part of the cost of athletic pro-

grams, both recreational and intercollegiate, is payed for with student activity fees. Right now those fees are about $70
per-quarter per-student. The demands for
that money are numerous. It is almost the
sole source of support for the many student
groups that exist on our campus.
Evergreen prides itself on its commitment to cultural diversity. But the truth of
the matter is that almost all the "culturally diverse" events that occur on campus are
organized and paid for with those student
dollars. We feel that those kinds of programs are a big part of what keeps
Evergreen a special place. The inevitable
competition for S & A funds between
cultural programs and recreational programs that would result if the recreational
complex were built concerns us greatly.
History makes us even more suspicious.
In 1980, ,when the S & A Board was first
approached with the idea of using S & A
dollars to support intercollegiate athletics, .
they declined. The budget approved by t~e
S & A Board members was returned to
them by the administration and they were
told that it would not be acceptable without
an allocation for athletics. That 3ummer, the
Board of Trustees approved a rai8e in the
S & A fee. The raise was used to fund
athletics while keeping other programs at
their current levels. It was a classic case
of arrogant power-politics and taxation

forefront of the educational establishment.
These are the kinds of things that will give
those students the resources they need to
pursue their visions of and commitments to
a better world. These are the kinds of
things that will give Washington taxpayers
and Evergreen students a fair return on
their good faith investments in higher
education. A healthy body is a valuable
asset to the individual in pursuit of such
goals, but there is nothing at Evergreen
that prevents a person from being healthy.
In light of the great many other "critical
needs" facing our college, state, and socie- .
ty, this request seems to be born of an unfortunately selfish and narrow vision.

Get Involved
If you would like to help prevent this
allocation request from being approved
there are several things you can do. Write
or call your state representative or senator.
So far, the only voice they have heard is
that of President Olander's. If you don't
know who your legislators are call the state
capitol and you can find out. If you are interested in organizing a counterforce to the
Evergreen bureaucracy call Todd Anderson at 786-0182 or Paul Tyler at 352-567-7.
We will be glad to help. However, it must
be done soon, so don't delay. 0

Who Pays?
Anybody who has been watching political
developments in the state of Washington
knows that there are several exceptional
things happening. The Governor is asking
for a tax increase to pay for several important and innovative programs. These programs include a basic health care plan to
protect uninsured citizens, a ml\ior welfare
reform program, and a commitment to improving the state's educational system. We
think these are all commendable ideas and
necessary to the continued well-being of
Washington's citizens. We also know that
they will be expensive and that every nickel
~ spent on something else will be a
• counterweight to their eventual success.

The budget request presented to the
legislature by the Evergreen administration said; "Provision of this facility will fill
a critical need to support student athletic
programs." In his testimony before the
House Ways and Means Committee, President Olander told the members that a recent survey of Evergreen's students has
shown that most come here because they
have a commitment to social service and
social change . .It is apparent that some
discrepancy exists between-the worldview
of the budget writers and the student body.
President Olander also told the Committee
that he envisioned Evergreen's enrollment
increasing to eight thousand or more in the
next ten or fifteen years. Where does he intend to put these students -- in the locker
room?
Last Spring, in describing t}le recreational complex proposal to the S & A
Board, Jan Lambertz, the Recreation and

Athletics DiTector, told the Board that this
was an especially good year to ask for this
money. Three other state universities are
asking for ml\ior allocations to their recreational facility budget this year. It would be
politically difficult, Ms. Lambertz reasoned, for the Legislature to approve those requests and deny a similar allocation to
Evergreen. Our reasoning tells us that this
is the same kind of "get it while you can"
logic that gave us a swimming pool instead
of a gymnasium in the first place. I t has little to do with the "critical needs" of the
college.
We recognize that the recreational
facilities at Evergreen could be better. But
we do not see it as a "critical need." For
us a commitm'e nt to excellent education
would include a better library, more
classrooms, a new administration building,
better laboratory facilities, an expanded
commitment to the Organic Farm, the rompletion of the Longhouse project, adequate
arts' budgets, and a continued student involvement in cultural and political activism.
These things are especially critical if plans
to increase Evergreen's enrollment continue apace.
These are the kinds of things that will
continue to attract the special breed of student that will keep Evergreen in the

State windfall benefits Indian tribes

OPE D

Governor Booth Gardner and Washington
state's 26 federally recognized Indian tribes
jointly announced this month an agreement
that will give the tribes 4 percent of $46.3
million in oil over-charge settlements.
Currently, that amounts to about $1.85
million, but with interest continuing to
grow, the total could be around $1.9 million
by the time the tribes begin spending the
funds.
Last week, Gardner unveiled plans for

the confidence to live my life with vigor,

and prepared for what might happen. It has
let me feel my strength (a natural strength
that all women possess) which I never knew
existed. It has taught me to trust my intuition to know when to act and to trust my
body to perform what it is asked, when
threatened.
Although isolated accounts of rape in the
news can renew our fears, sexual violence
is a reality for most women. In response,
self-defense can become a way of life that
strengthens and empowers us. The
realitites of sexual and other types of
violence are discussed in every FIST selfdefense class because knowing what we are
defending against is crucial to developing
defense strategies.
FIST is offering two basic classes open
to all women ,on Thursday, January 29, in
COM 117. One will be during the noon hour
and the other from 5 to 8 p.m. Women who
have completed a basic class are welcome
to attend a class on Monday, February 2,
also in COM 117. A lunch hour series of
basic classes will be offered every Tuesday
in February at Gloria Dei Luth~ran Church
on Olympia's Westside. For more information, talk to Mary at the Women's Center

dian tribes, the governor's office and the
State Energy Office.
Jamestown Clallam Indian Tribe Chair
Ron Allen, who participated in the negotiations, said, "We are extremely pleased the
tribes and the state could work out an
agreement that is fair and meets both of our
needs. This is a very positive step in improving state-tribal intergovernmental
relations."
Allen said the agreement also stipulated
that the tribes would get 4 percent of any
additional oil over-charge money coming to
Washington state.
Energy Office Director Dick Watson has
said that the state might expect between
$10 million and $15 million over the next
few years from pending oil over-charge
cases. The bulk of the money would go for
home weatherization and related services
for low-income families, transportation projects that save fuel, and energy measures
that help schools and other public facilities
reduce their energy costs.
Allen said the 26 tribes will each develop
energy expenditure plans, which will be incorporated into ail overall plan that will be
presented to the U.S. Department of
Energy for approval. The DOE must approve all progtams proposed for the oil
over-charge funds before the money is
allocated. Allen said state officials will assist
tribes in getting federal approval required
for tribal energy programs.
