On February 24, 25, and 26, many
members of the Evergreen Community
participated in the nationwide second an·
nual student fast for peace in Nicaragua.
Including pledges still to come in, we have
raised nearly $200, which will be sent to the
Seattle-to·Nicaragua Construction Brigade
ana to Partners in Health.
To dramatize the action, several of us oc·
cupied Red Square. You may have noticed
the tent. Many people voiced thier support,
encouraging us with their kind words and
offering assistance in whatever form they
could muster.
Together, we demonstrated solidarity
with the Nicaraguan people's rights to
sovereignty, self·detennination and sus·
tainability. But ditI we do more than
demonstrate?
Money raised will directly reach
Nicaraguans: Partners in Health will use
their portion from us to send medical equipment and supplies; the Construction
Brigade delegation will use our money Jor
building a school in Nicaragua this year.
And perhaps more than a few people were
informed and inspired.
To review: these and otlij:!r groups make
up a campaign to balance U.S. aid to con·
tras with real ' humanitarian aid to
Nicaraguans. Obviously, we cannot offset
the real violence now taking place as an (in·

I

.. spoiled brats
I OBJECT. Sitting in the middle of my cam·
pus is an ugly tent protesting "U$ war in
Nicaragua." It's too bad that none of the
fasters inside the tent really knows what
they're talking about and are using tbeir
status as "students" to act like a bunch of
spoiled juvenile brats.
I truly doubt that any of these sO-called
protestors has ever been out of this coun·
try. I further doubt, 8trongly, that any of
them have enjoyed the freedoms and liber·
ties of a MarxistrSocialit state like they are
busy glorifying. I would be willing to bet
money that none of them has ever talked
to anyone who has fled from the glories of
socialism, after all .. there are only a half·
million or ·80 per year that are able to
escape, a hundred thousand or 80 per year

who die trying to escape, (and at least
400,000 ethnic Russian Jews .. not bother·
ing to count other religions or ethnics .. try.
ing to leave the USSR alone.)
What is present at Evergreen is a mob
of ignorant, selfish babies. They are under
the glamour of some of the Marxist propoganda (and profes80rs) at the school who
make it their policy to condemn the United
States for its "transgressions" while ignor·
ing, at any cost, those same transgressions
from their Communist heroes. After all, if
there are 250 or 300 American advisors in
Honduras and El Salvador, what's the mat·
ter with 12,000 Soviets in Cuba, 2,400 in
Ethiopia, 8,500 in Algeria, 8,000 in Iraq,
2,300 in Lybia, 2,500 in South Yemen and
4,000 in Syria; or 8,000 Cubans in Angola,
5,900 in Ethiopia, 3,200 in Nicaragua, 3,000
in Lybia, and another couple of thousand
here and there? (Let's not even mention the
85,000 Soviets in Afghanistan, ok?)
I have a couple of suggestions for those
children who are so seemingly concerned
with human rights that they must desecrate
my college campus where I am coming to
get an education. Let them drop out of
school for a few years (assuming they are
even registered here) and go to these coun·
tries that impress them so much and live
there for a while. While they are there, let
them protest any trangressions that their
new country makes, and see what happens
when they do. If they are even alive after
four or five years, they then have a right
to come back and tell the U.S. that we're
doing it all wrong.
Come on you simps .. right now you are
letting a few slick Marxists do all your
thinking for you. They have convinced you
that the U.S. always lies.
Take a look around and don't listen to
what they say .. any of them .. watch what
. they do instead. Then ask yourself these
four simple questions: 1) If Marxism is 80
great, why are these guys here instead of
there where they .can enjoy the good life?
2) If I went to the country that I am protesting for, could I protest against them in
the same way as I do against the U.S. here?
3) Are people trying to get into or out of
the country that I'm supporting? 4) When
was the last time border guards killed
someone trying to escape into a communist
country?
Maybe your answers win surprise even
yourselve8. I doubt it though, as it is most
likely you won't even see this letter .. after
all the paper mU8t support the student
radicals instead of the seriOU8 students, and
tends not to print anything critical of
radicalism.

Locally, the Olympia Pledge of
Resistance (POR) is coordinating an effort
to turn $54,000 into Nicaraguan aid.
Presently, $7,500 has been channelled
through the two groups mentioned above

donation of $200 is one of hopefully many
vital contributions to this effort.

To: Cooper Point Journal Editors and Staff

It has come to our attention that two
members of your newspaper have launch·
ed a personal vendetta against the propos·
ed recreational center, or "gym" as you fre.
quently call it. These two members of your
paper have announced that the Evergreen
community is completely against the con·
struction of this facility. We don't know
where you are getting your information,
but the vast majority of us in "D to I" are
in favor of this facility. It would provide a
much needed service to the campus com·
munity, namely a social area and relaxation
place which is lacking at Evergreen. We are
not the only ones in favor of this facility,
and we wonder at the level of profes·
sionalism practiced by your staff. Surely
you have not been fair in your representa·
tion of this event to the community, and we
are disappointed in your performance.
We refuse to sign this letter, for we know
that you tend not to publish contrary points
of view, anyway.

attacks

To the Editor:
Two letters appeared in last week's CPJ
that constituted personal attacks on me for
opinions I hold and activities I engage in.
Neither contained a shred of substance or
addressed the issues at hand. One was a
thinly veiled attempt to accuse me of
dishonest use of a copying card. Both the
writer, for making false and unsubstantiated allegations, and the CPJ, for printing
them, owe me an apology.
The second letter uses an illegitimate
logical progression of reduction-in-the·
absurd to ridicule my position on the gymnasium complex, destroy the college, and
fmally rob me of my "soap box." I found
most of the letter amusing, but please,
please, leave me my soap box. If this keeps
up, I'm going to need it not only for making speeches, but for keeping my shoes
clean of these unsavory spewings.

Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to the article in
February 26, 1987's issue entitled "Sun."
I was grieved to read an article like that
in a college newspaper. It not only put down
the Christian religion but the dialogue was
uncalled for. How is one supposed to recommend a college when articles such as "Sun"
are being written and published? Once can
only imagine how many people read that article around the greater Olympia area. This
college has been getting a better and better reputation, but with articles like "Sun,"
how are we, as a college, supposed to maintain it? Not only did you put down God and
His Son Jesus, but The Evergreen State
College's reputation as well.
I will be honest with you: this article
made me mad. Not j~st because I a~ . a

Lab Annex Phase Two will serve arts
Amid the clamor over a new gym, a small
item in Evergreen's '87-'89 biennial budget
quietly awaitl! legislative approval. Slight·
ly over $1,000,000 is ear-marked for Lab
Annex Phase Two, a building proposal undisputedly aimed to meet projected
academic growth.
If approved, Phase Two will add 12,000
~ ft. to the existing Lab Annex. Construction would extend out and over the metal
shop in an "L" shape and add a second
(main) level with north/south facing skylights.
Phase Two will primarily serve the visual
arts area, allowing program and contract
space in Lab I to revert to regular
classrooms. What currently passes for
studios in Lab I are over-crowded, have low
ceilings, inadequate ventilation, and poor
lighting. Visual arts faculty Susan Aurand
has emphasized the importance to art curriculum of a functional work station.
Phase Two proposes to fulfill all these
needs. Phase Two features flexible space
in big, well·lit rooms with canvas covered
"tackable" walls, and a 12'6" ceiling level.
From ten feet up, the walls have
north/south facing vertical translucent skylight panels allowing the rooms to be illuminated naturally during daylight hours.
There are to be·four studios: two 45 x 40
sq. ft. studios with 1800 sq. ft. each, a 1200
sq. ft. studio, and a main studio with approximately 1900 sq. ft. of space. All will
have service sinks, storage cabinets, and
two ventilation systems: a ceiling exhaust
for paint fumes and a lower level exhaust
for heavy fumes, such as turpentine. This
floor will also have a separate critique room

of approximately 1000 sq. ft. with a small
adjacent conference room, a 20 x 20 sq. ft.
loungellobby area with gallery space, and
one restroom.
An .outdoor stairway ascending from
ground ,evel, making a right angle around
a tree, will lead to the main entrance at the
lobby area between studios. 9 x 6 ft. dou·
ble doors will allow large art works to pass
through. Wheelchair access will be served
by the elevator in Lab I, then by proceeding
across the catwalk that now links Lab I to
the Lab Annex roof. "It's quite amazing,"
said Walter Niemiec, Lab Buildings
manager, "considering the project'slirnited
budget."

It is an option to house the ceramic kilns
-- now uncovered outside behind the Lab
Annex -- on the fIrst floor next to the metal
shop, but this is not budgeted into the project. The ground level addition is primarily designed for the mechanical workings of
the building, and as storage. Flues needed
for the kilns that would climb the new south
wall are what makes this item a separate
cost consideration.
The greenhouse now occupying the annex
roof will be moved to the maintenance yani
off Driftwood Road where ground supplies
are kept. More attention can be given there
to the plant-life. The move is not a ml\ior
concern to the science faculty as academic

Crimewatch needs to be"utilized

Hispanic Ed. Forum to ask questions

Crimewatch is a student run escort service that was founded last November. Monty VanderMay organized the Crime watch
program in reponse to the attacks that took
place on campus last November. He spends
over thirty hours a week working on the
program.
"Friends of mine were scared to walk
around on campus and something had to be
done," says VanderMay. He consulted with
Security and set up the program.
Crimewatch provides escorts for people
on campus who are uncomfortable walking
alone at night. They also patrol occasionally to check the campus area and parking

"Achievement scores for Hispanics are
consistently lower than the scores for nonHispanics... 51 perce!lt of Hispanics are
reading below their grade level at Grade
4 and by Grade 12 there is a 22 percent increase in the same category. What has happened to equal educational opportunity?"
asks organizers of the Second Annual
Wasbington Hispanic Educational Forum.
The forum takes place from 9 a.m. to 3:30
' p.m. on Thursday, March 19, in Lecture
Hall 1.
Focusing on critical issues facing Hispanic

lots for anything unusual, including
vandalism.
Each patrol unit is made up of two people, with radio, flashlight, and identifying
badges. The shifts last two hours. The
radios connect the patrols directly to
Security.
There have been some misconceptions
around campus that the Crimewatch program is there to police people. This is not
the function of the program; it was set up
so people have an alternative to walking
across campus alone after dark. People
should not be intimidated about calling;
Crimewatch is not going to get you ar-

use is minimal.
')
The college now has $75,000 for this project's improvements on the existing
building: integrating the ventilation system
with the studios and installil1g lateral braeings for the walls of the metal shop to meet
recently mandated earthquake regulations.
The additional walls will be made from precast concrete, like everything else on
campus.
Also included in this funding are design
and architectual-engineering fees. According to Jon Collier, Senior Architect for the
college, projects at a cost over $40,000 must
be advertised in the Daily Journal of Commerce, published in Seattle. Selection is
open to any firm in the state to submit a

process form, which is then subject of
review. On these projects Collier serves as
a liason between the college and the chosen
firm. The bulk of this work is supervising
smaller in-house construction, mostly
remodelling.
Note that legislative budget approval for
this project will be finalized early in the
spring. The project will be bid in late summer and construction will start in the fall.
It should take six months to complete so
Phase Two can be open for Spring Quarter
of 1988.
Lab . Annex Phase Three will be considered in Evergreen's Capital Budget Reo
quest for the 89-91 biennium.

rested. They just want to get you where
you're going safely.
Crimewatch started with a volunteer
corps of about ninety people. VanderMay
is responsible for filling the approximately
seventy shifts each week. 'VanderMay is
now facing the problem of loss of interest
in the program from both volunteers and
people wanting escorts. At the time the program was started, they were receiving fifteen to twenty calls a night. Now they are
getting three calls maximum. VanderMay
said he feels the volunteers are losing interest because many nights they will work
their shifts without receiving any calls; this
discourages them and makes them feel like
they are not doing any good. As a result,
the number of volunteers dropped to about
thirty. VanderMayasks volunteers to work
one shift every ten days.
The only funding the program has received was three hundred dollars in November
when the program was started, one hundred of this being honorarium to help buy
coffee and cookies for the patrols. The
money is spent on batteries and maintenance of the flashlights and on printing costs
for posters. Security takes care of the
upkeep and maiJ:ttenance of the radios.
There is also a space provided in the
modular housing area where the patrols can
stay while waiting for calls.
VanderMay himself receives no pay,just
the satisfaction that he' is helping provide

Group Contract proposed by students .
The following is a student-initiated
Group Contract for Spring. If you're intereBted, call Janine at EPIC, x6144 or
Mark Sherman at 754-4608.

Civil Liberties in the Twentieth Century
This program will be designed in accordance with the particular interests of the
students involved. Among the issues that
could receive a greater or lesser degree of
attention are: Native American rights;
Prisoner rights; Gay rights; Reproductive
freedom; Draft·1Il1d tax resistance; McCarthy era; Japanese internment; Fannworker
rights; Immigration law and the definition
of citizenship; Anti-Sedition Act (WWI);
Union organizing/Lockouts; National Guard
as strikebreakers; Press access to the Pen-

tagon; Drug testinglPrivacy; Wiretapping;
Voting rights and the civil rights movement; Death penalty; Juvenile rights;
Academic freedom.
Each student in the contract will, in addition to the reading, aelect one of these as
the subject of particular focus and an oral
presentation to the group. The objective of
the course, however, is to draw the connection between the struggles of different
groups of people for the same set of rights.
A fmal paper, therefore, could just as easily trace the defense of First Amendment
rights in different situations as it might look
at the defense of several different rights by
one particular group.
Our Endangered Rights, by Norman
Dorsen (ACLU) will serve as the common..

text. Students will play an active role in
choosing material to supplement this work
with others; each student, in fact, may
select a different supplementary book on
the topic of study each week. The possibility exists for staging mock trials or debates.
Students will be expected to observe real
court cases and report on the civil liberties
issues reaised in that context.
Faculty resources include David Hitchens
(history), Matt Smith (political science), and
Jeanne Hahn (political science). There are,
in addition, many human resources in the
local and regional community, some of
whom may be available as guest speakers.
The exact form that f8(!U}ty sponsorship will
take will depend on the number of students
involved and their needs. 0

said that he does not like the idea that the
service needs to be provided, but it is true
that people are scared. He just wants to do
what he can.
Anyone who wants to utilize the escort
service can call Security (x6140) and they
will dispatch a team as soon as possible. It
should only take about five minutes for a
team to reach a person, but on occasion it
may take a little longer due to logistical
problems.
There is the chance that Crimewatch will
not exist next quarter. With the 1088 of
volunteer interest and the lack of requests,
the service will not be able to continue. The
main thing hurting Crimewatch is that not
enough people are requesting escorts. Says
V anderMay, "The more calls we get the
happier everyone is."

with their senators and represent~tives
regarding issues of concern.
Requests have included cutting off aid to
~he c~ and providinp' financial aid for
college students. Last week, two members
of Guaternala's only human rights organization were "disappeared." U.S. tax dollars
fmance the Guatamal,an military. When a
call was placed to Senator Adams' office,
a willingness to investigate the matter was
expressed.
The Peace Center will be open every
Tuesday morning from 7:30 to 8:00 a.m. for
students to call senators and represen-

tatives. Each callIS recorded and billed at
the rate of 18 cents for the first minute and
16 cents for each additional minute, plus 3
percent tax.
In Washington, D.C., messages are
received by staff members and communicated to representatives and senators.
They in turn respond with a letter or direct
their staff to do so.

Adjudicator Hiring Process an open one
Last week's opinion piece entitled "Hiring process raises suspicions" contained
some errors and disinformation about the
Campus Adjudicator Selection Process. The
process was:

process went beyond the typical one for the
selection of a temporary, part-time
employee in recognition of the significance
of the Campus Adjudicator to the campus
community.
/( statement about the history and purpose of the Network follows:
History: Every community has emergencies, and Evergreen is no expection to this.
Most often, emergencies are those.situations where human health and/or personal
safety are affected and where potential
abuse or destruction of property exist. In
the earlier years of Evergreen, the
numerous offices thatl'eponded to these
emergencies and personal crises worked independently, causing confusion, duplication
of services, and at times, jeopardizing the
initial intent, which was to provide support
for the community member in need and
assure a safe campus environment.
In 1975, efforts were made to remedy this
confusion and duplication of services by
developing a program called "The
Emergency Communication System." The
intent of this program was and still is to respond to emergencies as quickly as possible,
to support individuals in crisis, and to maintain the community's safety and health.
In the fall of 1979-8), this process became
more t!tructured and formalized with weekly meetings. Also that year, the 1975 document was revised and the program became
known as "The Emergency Communication
Network."

attending Network meetings are: the Campus Adjudicator; Chief of Security; Dean of
Student Development; Directors of Housing, K~Y Services, Counseling; and
delegated assistants when relevant. A high
level of commitment to confidentiality is not
only expected but required in the Network
consultations. This is why only those directly involved with the crises and emergency
attend. Over the years, Network kept a low
profile and was not highly publicized. Due
to this, parts of the community developed
the perspective that "Network" is some
kind of a "Star Chamber." In fact, the campus Adjudicator does consult with the Network when an individual is alleged to have
violated the Social Contract. This consultation would be but one aspect of the Adjudicator's investigation of the allegation
and formulation of a response.
The greater ml\iority of the Network's
work is in suppport of a student in crisis,
who may be at risk in non-academic ways
in remaining an Evergreen student. Typical
problems discussed include depression, attempted suicide, assault, theft, rape,
substance abuse, inability to cope with the
. college environment, racism and sexism
issues, .and vandalism.
Network was developed to maintain the
quality of life in our community, to provide
a safe environment conducive to study, and
to ensure a balance between individual
behavior and the expectations of the
academic community as articulated in the
Social Contract.

ANALYSIS

MAKING A DIFFERENCE:
What it means
and should mean at
the Evergreen
State College

.,

by Jennifer Seymore

o

-----------

Toward the beginning of this year, I attended President Joe Olander's convocation
for faculty and staff. The only two things
I remember are being very shocked to hear
one of the Trustees declare with a smile
that the Evergreen Experiment had indeed
come to an end, and looking up behind me
to see Charles McCann, Rudy Martin, and
couple other of our Founding Fathers as
they quietly received this news.
"Get upl" I silently cried to them. "Tell
him it isn't sol Tell him we'll always be ex·
]perirnenters, we will never say we know all
'We need to knowl"
But they just sat there fingering their
beards.
I wondered at this, and have many times
since. "Perhaps they're right," I think 0ccasionally, "Evergreen has become far
more of an institution than a community.
It is ~wn.up. It wears a necktie and its
hair above its ears. It's only natural after
so many years."
.
Still; I'm not so sure they were right not
to order that man off stage and declare the
Experiment on again.
The more I reflect on what I know of
Evergreen's history, and what I know of
its present nature, the more dismayed I
become, especially Considering the enor·
mous volmne 'of self-eongratuJatory college
propaganda presently in circulation. Yea,
we're Making a Dift'erence all right folks.
Well, in honor of Evergreen's Twentieth
BirthdaylEnd of the Experiment, I have a
few thoughts on Making a Difference.
As far as I can tell, one of the original
ideas behind the Evergreen State College
was to educate people in the hDeral arts.

..,

In case you didn't know, that means studies
in such things as philosophy, history,
religion, abstract science, literature, etc.;
a broad education meant to develop reason
and judgement, as opposed to vocational
skills.
It wasn't long after I arrived here that
I discovered that Evergreen is no longer
a liberal arts college; someone must have
forgotten to take that out of the catalog.
All one has to do is page through that for·
midable advertisement to discover
Evergreen's true colors in 1987; this is a col·
lege meant to prepare its "products" for
careers in science and business, to bring
money to Washington, and to turn out good
state employees. Employability of
graduates is often cited as the truest
measure of our success . .
Not to say this is necessarily bad-but it
sure as heck isn't liberal arts. We might as
well be up front about it if we're going to
go to the trouble of becoming Evergreell
ProfessionalNocational Institute.
But that's a bit snotty really. This should
be a college for many people with many dif·
ferent goals and worldviews. Perhaps what
is most upsetting is the deception involved
in selling Evergreen to students in one way,
and to state government in another.
In the catalog, Evergreen means Educa·
tion With a Dift'erence, Learning How. to
Learn, A Sense of Wonder, Making a Dif·
ference. Up at the Capitol, it means a
Pacific Rim business program, AT &: T com·
puters, studies in public administFation, and
those good old place~ent figures again
(which aren't even all that accurate: those
high nmnbers are the percentages of

For a really accurate picture of what
thoSe at the top have in store for us, take
a look at Joe's predictions in the last
Re View for Evergreen in the year 2007:
"Educational techrwlogy is very advanc·
ed. It's po8sible to ccmduct classes through
telecommunicaticm8. Students can attend
a lecture or 8eminar in their dtmn TOOm.8. "
Lovely.
In addition, Joe foresees programs in ar·
tificial intelligence, the ethics of meta·public
policy, health and nutrition, Northwest
studies (read that "Northwest business"),
and cross-culturalleaming (tossed in a bit
obligatorily at the end of the list). Fine, Joe,
but you missed the liberal arts boat again.
Excuse me, but if I were you, I'd think
a little harder about where the world will
be in 20 years-not to mention where it is
now··and how vitally important Making a
Difference really is.
First of all, the most dire and pressing
issue for every person on this Earth right
now is the threat of life-extinction on the
planet. Period. Why isn't every single program examining methods of working

the legislature how many graduates we
send to Microsoft, and start giving them
proposals on how computer studies can im·

disabled. How single mothers can use them
to do work in the home. Let'8 8top em·
phasizing making the 8tate and our8elves

Maybe that's the root of it. In order to
do the kind of work that is really needed
to insure the physical and mental safety of
human beings, we must relinquish the opportunity to make money. People don't pay
us to stop wars, they pay us to prepare for
them.
The ~int of all this? Either face up to
what we're becoming··tell the faculty who
are still dedicated to the original dream, tell
the students who come here looking for a
sense of wonder, the real thing, tell the
community members who have supported
us-or become the school we (sometimes)
say we are: a liberal arts college whose
highest purpose is to give us the ability to
make reasoned and responsible decisions.
The deception is the saddest thing.
I'm wondering when someone is going to
discover that we can't be different simply
by saying we are. The administrative shipcaptains of this college need to understand
that this communit)l is full of priceless in·
dividuals, dedicated to a living, breathing
dream, but without honest support-beth

Space use

nee~s

by Paul Tyler
Our physical surroundings have a profound effect on what we do and when we
do it. The arrangements of space around us
often defines the opportunities andlimitations of our life-situation. It is for this
reason that I've become involved in the
form and function of space on the
Eyergreen Campus.
' Recently, I volunteered to be on the
Space Utilization and Development Task
Force. Other attendees at the latest
meeting included Jon Collier, Campus Architect; Jim Duncan, Facilities Manager;
Patti Zimmerman, Facilities Secretary; and
Mike Beug, Academic Dean.
At thiS meeting the first topic of conversation was the placement of the new Student Advising Center (SAC). The SAC will
combine several of the student service
groups, such as Co-Op Ed, KEY Special
Services, Academic Advising, and Career
Development. The favored plan is to put
these groups on the first floor of the
Library in the 1400 block, adjacent to the
Native American Studies. The plan will occupy four rooms currently used for classes.
Dean Beug stated that he had opposed such
a move, but was told to come up with a plan
anyway.
The second topic of conversation concerned where to put the new students, faculty,
and staff 2.8 planned enrollment increases

form 2,700 to 2,900 next year, and up to
3,200 two years later. The first increase will
be met in two ways:
First, a major change in the traditional
scheduling of classes is in the offmg. Cur·
rent plans call for more classes to be
scheduled on Monday mornings and Friday
afternoons. Classes will start at eight, instead of nine. (;Qvernance time will be split
between Mondtly, Wednesday, and Friday
afternoons. The Facilities staff is trying to
determine how many extra students this
schedule can accomodate.
The second part of the solution will be to
use the additional space in the new Lab II
Annex, scheduled to be built this summer,
as classrooms. Originally intended to house
the "messy arts," these rooms will probably
be dedicated to classroom use into the
foreseeable future.
Down the road, the increase to 3,200
students will cause further controversy.
Although it was not discussed at the
meeting, the plan will surely include moving the student group offices from the third
floor of the library. Students have the right
to occupy those, or comparable spaces, until 1991 as per an agreement with the Board
of Trustees. Academics and Administration
would like the space right now. Collier
already has the plans drawn up to remodel
the area. This summer, Duncan, acting on
the basis of erroneous information, attempted to evict half of them.

Unless another solution can be arrived at,
the Administration's traditional plan calls
for moving the student group offices into
a new addition to the CAB. This addition
would be funded by bonds to be redeemed
by S & A fees. Such a project would severely limit the funds available for the smaller
student groups. Since those groups
organize and pay for close to eighty percent
of the cultural diversity and social justice
events at Evergreen, it is obvious that such
a project could have a major impact on the
intellectual and educational environment at
Evergreen.
Growth of some sort seems inevitable.
Olympia is growing. The Puget Sound area
is growing. Evergreen's enhanced academic
reputation is drawing more students here.
and keeping them here longer. It is imperative that the growth be carefully and
creatively managed if Evergreen is to retain its unique characteristics. The development and utilization of the physical plant
will play a key role in this growth.
Students, faculty and staff interested in
Evergreen's future should find it interesting to remain abreast of the space
utilization plans.
I encourage all student participants in
task forces and committees to submit
regular reports to the CPJ. It is the only
way that students can communicate effectively among themselves and have a real
say in what goes on at Evergreen. 0

State legislature threatens environment
by Jackie Kettman
The time is ripe for a "state Superfund"-a law providing for the clean-up of hazardous waste sites that do not qualify for the
EPA's national priority list of sites to be
cleaned up under the state Superfund law.
The state law is also needed to provide the
"match money" states are reqUired to provide for EPA cleanups.
The problem is that the bill presently
under consideration in the House Environmental Affairs Committee (SHB 434)
is so seriously flawed that its support by
environmentalists is questionable unless
amendments are accepted to weaken the
impact of the damage it will cause. ·-·
The main problem is a provision allowing
the Department of Ecology to "issue
covenants not to sue to the parties responsible for the contamination, which will
relieve them from any future clean-up costs
at the site cleaned."
This creates a fundamental problem
because of its dis-incentive to treat waste
in a responsible manner.
For truly pennanent (treatment type)
remedial actions, perhaps a covenant not to
sue would be appropriate, but it would also
be unnecessary. Only if the remedial actian
has a chance offailing and the state pays

for future clean-up costs is a covenant a
beneficial thing for the responsible parties
to have.

remedial-action technologies is unpredictable. The failure rate of site clean-ups we
can e~t to see is very high. The rate of
failure of landfills is predicted by the EPA
to be 100% within fifty years of construction. "Pennanent immobilization" techniques are proving to not be' pennanent, and
incineration leaves toxic residues and ash
which still must be dealt with. Our nation's
experience with cleaning up hazardous
waste sites is too recent and too slight for
we, as a state, to make the assumption that
our present, sometimes experimental,
technologies will be effective forever and
ever.
Washington state taxpayers should be
gamblers only by personal choice, but when
the state issues covenants not to sue, we
all take enormous risks. When these sites
fail, we will have to pay hundreds of million
dollars in second clean-ups, or we will be
exposed to dangerous chemicals, and the
often disabling, often terminal diseases
which they cause, and then pay increased
medical expenses through our welfare
system.

about this bill which will allow that to
happen.
The last maJor area of concern to environmentalists presently working on the bill
is in the area of public participation. In its
present form, the bill provides for arbitration decisions to precede judicial review.
Citizens, though, cannot initiate arbitration,
only responsible parties may. If arbitration
does occur, citizens might be allowed intervenor status, but only at the discretion
of the arbitrators who will be chosen by the
Department of Ecology.
This means citizens have no say over the
levels of contamination they will be exposed to, etc. It shows an insensitivity to the
valid concerns of affected people on the part
of the Department of Ecology and the state
legislature. The Department has expressed concerns that public participation will
bog down the process and prevent speedy
action on clean-ups. This attitude ignores
the fact that citizens may know more about
the extent of contamination than field investigators unfamiliar with the sIte.
Citizens affected by the site will want it to

Green who turned in the most exciting Fast
Her exactness with each throw and catch
helped her 50 second score beat out many
other more .experienced throwers.
The Australian Round, which is a combination of distance, accuracy and catch,
was conquered by Paul Kimball's effortlessdead·accurate throws that keyed him into
a 26 point victory.
In the last event, Doubling, Marty friedman scored the win. He was the last
thrower. No one had caught both booqtS

this event before. He stepped up and threw.
No one thought he could do it. One. Two.

In regards to the letter you printed in yet
another uninspired and frankly ambiguous
CPJ concerning the warlike idea of Laser
Tag: I've only this to say.
"Open your bloody eyes and look around.
Everywhe~ you'll see games, sports traditions, and artifacts that blanket the spec, trum of creative ingenuity with their
individuality. "
These things are evidence of a culture's
evolution from ignorance to curiosity, from
light to transluscents, from the savage to
the gentle if you will. Take the Olympics,
for example. Greece made many contributions to the modern world we live in, i.e.
architecture, medicine, philosophy, art, yet
the one thing most any child could tell you
is that Greece started the Olympics. Ask
most any child what the Olympics are, and
the likely response is:
"It's a big, world-wide game where all the
people compete without hurting each
other."
"Can you say pushbutton paranoid
pacifism?"
I think it's a beautiful statement of
understanding to make entertainment for
the masses out of death. If you've ever coricentrated your entire being into a javelin
pitch, you will know a very special feeling
when its potentially murdering elan pierces
the good earth.
.
Archers, Match-shooters, Boomerangers,
Crew, La Crossies, Shot-putters, Wrestlers
too: the list goes on in every culture, but
why bother recording them, anyway?
They're all just heartless, fascist warmongers, right?
Let's purge our society of any element
that reminds us of war, killing and violence.
Then life would be so neat. We could put
a righteous, if slightly overzealous, Greener
in charge of protecting our so easily offended and conclusively perceptible (COMMUNITY) sense of morality. We could
forget all the old nasties making up so much
of our species history.
"It's gone, really. See, there's not a single
remnant of war left. We're safe. You can
come out now."
I'm reminded of how we were always told
to make sure the back door of the killchute
was closed so the waiting cows in the
stockyard wouldn't become upset. We
wanted happy meat. I'm also reminded of
one summer in my mind's eye. We were,
quote,."playing guns." It was great. We
had plastic uzis, sixteens, and two lugar
squirt pistols. It was great. I remember

how macho I was whEm the game began. My
personal fable and imaginary audience were
working overtime. I was a killing machine
and I could easily play all day against any
odds and never once suffered even one
single play wound. I t was great.
That day did a lot more to further my
respect of life, understanding of death, and
banishment of fantasy than all the antiun·
bornnukewar rallies I've attended since. I
walked home after the battle for a peanut
butter andjeny sandwich. I was really hum·
ble and tiny recalling how quickly and
repeatedly I was shot with imagined bullets
from real warriors. I was terrified for
weeks after, waiting for the day when my
parent's government would call me. The
next year, in the fourth grade, I told my
mother I was sorry but I wouldn't go to war
for her or Daddy.
The very same oppression of human spirit
and animal drive that you spew has been
practiced in a myriad of forms by every
government in the history of man's doprination of himself. Authorities never want bad
or good vibes to influence their serfs. It only
inspires change or spoils the meat. Take the
road oflJlediocrity and-it's likely to have an
autocratic tour guide.
So, anyway, n,y Public Pen Pal, you go
rappel off the clock tower with helmet and
belay, and I'll go climb with a mountain on
a dream.

support

Dear Editor:
In response to Brian Hotl'n)an'sletter, I'd
like to voice my support for laser tag. Laser
tag is just a harmless way of getting out
aggression. They're not real guns, anyway.
So who gives a fuck?
"Evergreen," Hoffman says, "is among
a very few places where the dominant
nonns do not thoroughly dictate our every
decision and action. We must do everything
we can to preserve this very special
freedom." While Hoffman's concerns seem
pure, the means he proposes to enforce his
anti-military stance are decidedly fascist
and potentially more dangerous than that
which he opposes.
Laser Tag is not a training ground for
future army personnel; it is a gamel That
"Evergreen should refrain from purchasing Laser Tag because of our dedication to
peace and lasting happiness" is absurd.
How about talking about some real issues:
the deforestation of Africa, the CPJ

budget, or even the decision not to Include
military ads (a decision I support!).
Sincerely,
Robert Floyd

From Harlem to Soul

CELEBRATE
ST. PATRICK'S DAY

by Jacob Weisman

WITH MICKEY

ANDAlE.

~'.1

,

•

Barbara O'Neil grew up in Harlem in the
1950's when the New York school system ,
was,first being integrated and "everybody
was a Dodger fan." Today, an Evergreen
graduate, she owns and operates Barb's
BBQ &: Soul Cuisine in downtown Olympia.
,
\ When' keeping
the restaurant
open and holding
down a 40 hour a
week job as an
employment
specialist became
too hard a load,
Barb cut down on
the restaurant's
hours. "I would
come to work at
six in the morn·
ing," she says,
"and cook. I'd go
to work at eight '
and come back
again at noon and
do some more
cooking before I
left for work
again. I finally
made the decision ,
just to open on
evenings
and
Saturday. "
Still, even with the diminished hours,
Barl>'s BBQ &: Soul Cuisine is the only place
around where you Can find Louisiana Style
Gumbo, Shrimp Creole, or Barb's Famous
Soul Burger. "Soul food," Barb explams is
just "home cooking. It's Southern food.
"I was back in Washington D.C.," Barb
says, "watching Je88ie Jackson, He said he
didn't like nobody taking him around to
restaurants. He liked home cooking, he
said, greens and Cornbread. 'When he
co"es ,to Olympia,' I whispered to the girl
sitting next to me. 'I'm going to feed him.'
She said, he's not coming tt> Olympia.' 'Oh?'
I said. 'Yeah, that's right.' But when he did
come to Olympia, Evergreen called me to
ftnd out how to get the word out to the com·
munity. 'By the way,' I asked, 'who's cook·
ing for him?'
"'I don't want no food,' he said when he
came into the room, 'I don't wa~t no food.'
Then he looked and said 'Green's?' He dipped in~ t~~ pot with his finger:. '.And
chicken! And peach cobbler! He just went
crazy. 'D!ln't take my picture,' he kept tell·

ing the photographers, 'Don't take my pic·
ture while I'm eating.' I was really 'pleas·
ed that he was swayed from the way he
was, When he walked into the room, he
hadn't wanted anything.
But everything has not always gone so
well for Barb. Eighteen years ago, a single
parent in Georgia, she packed up
and
moved
to
Thurston County.
"I was lucky," she
admits. "I got my
own home right
away. I saw the
house from the
highway. I went in
. to see what it was
like. I owned it
within seven days.
I had no job, no
marriage,
no
credit; I don't
, know how I got so
lucky."
Still, it took a
long time before
things settled
down. In 1973
Barb enrolled at
Evergreen. "I
don't know how
many times I
quit," she says. "I
Barbara O'Neil
remember one
time I just knew I wasn't going back
anymore. I was doing something in the
house and f}\ist happened to look out-the
window. My faculty advisor, Margaret
Gribskov, and my baby, Rodney were out·
side. Rodney had taRen her by the hand to
the backyard to show her a nest of birds
that he had discovered under an apple tree.
"They came back into the house and sat
down. 'What in the world,' I thought, 'is she,
up to?' I think she must have stayed all day.
Finally she came back in and said, 'This is
where we are.' 'I'm not coming bac15 no .
more!" I told her. She just looked at me
while I talked and when finis~ .Qbe ~d,
'Now if you do this, and this, and this .. .'
'Oh my God,' I thought, 'this woman isn't
going to let me go.' lowe a lot to her.
"When I finally graduated from
Evergreen," she ~, "I knew I could be
anything I wanted to 'Be.'if~kstl't about
being ~good employment specia!jst.. ~ ~
good restauranteur, it was about being what
I wanted to be. There is no challange now
that I'm going to take that I can't do."O

Here are a couple reviews of bands out
on that hip local label "K." Hopefully in the
future there will be lots more reviews of
"underground" rock bands, and not only in
, the K-pop mode.
Pell Mell
Lots of electronic doodling, along with
bass and guitar. I'm sure this is hip with
some; but why in God's name does anyone
actually want to sit around and listen to
this? It's too dull to sit and listen ~o, and
too annoying for background music (but
who needs background music, anyway?)
This is technically good, really good, and
definitely a well-produced tape, but it is
B 0 R lNG, boring, very boring. In fact,
it is so boring I don't know what to write
about it other than it's boring. I can't even
really hate it, it's just there. But hey, if you
like technically good electro-pop with some
nifty loops here and there, then this is probably a great tape for you.
By the way, there's a studio side and a
live side, the studio side is the really boring one. The live side is better, not a lot,
but better. This kind of music has to sound
better live. It comes off with a little more
something there -- like some actual
"oomph" behind it. Live, I can see myself
not really disliking Pell Mell (well -- a teensy bit), but not liking them either.
The Cannanes •• Happy Swing

ing us their siX-song cassette Ha'PPY Swing.
This band is definitely a member of the lowfi "pop underground." It's fun, it's easy,
and yes, kids, you can do it, too! Overall,
a happy, cute tape that makes you feel,
well, darn good all over.
I like Annabel Bleach's voice, alid heck,
like most musicians in the low-fi pop mode,
these guys and gals aren't ultimately that '
talented: they're not experts, but it's catchy. That is the attraction in it all. The more
I listen to this tape. the more I like it.
especially the first side. Buy it.
Guess What?
There's lots of 'V0ovy tun~s available

from K Products. Just released is a Girl
Trouble (rock gods from T-town) 7 inch 45.
I haven't heard it yet, but I really do like
Girl Trouble. Also available is a Beat Happening 7 inch with unreleased material
(well, at least it's not on the album or Three
Tea Breakfast cassette).
Also on K Casset'tes are lots of hip bandEl
like Shonen Knife (all-female pop-punk band
from Japan) and locals like The Few and
Noxious Fumes.

ANHEUSEIt·BUSCH/BUD LIGHT

by Cynthia Abair
Alter of Sacrifice, an upcoming senior
thesis proquction by TOI!l Kl!l.ba, journeys _
through time to explore the nature of rela.
tionships. Drama, recorded sound/music,
track, and Greek chorus (as live dream sequences) are the tools with which this-piece
takes a look at the likelihood that our upbringing affects our present day
relationships.
• The title, Alter of Sacrifice (purposely
spelled in this way), symbolizes the
psychological changes people go through
when they become involved in
relationships.

Alter of Sacrifice is a 3-act production.
Act I is set in the 1950's and examines how
the main characters, Don and Anne, were
raised by their parents. Act II moves into
the 1960's with the two meeting, falling in
love, and marrying. Act , III, set in the
1980's, shows Don and Anne's'fifteen-year
marriage falling apart, This final act explores the poSsibility that how we relate to
each other as adults is rooted in how our
parents raised us and how we often emulate
their actions in our own relationships.
There is a third character, named John.
He is intuition, He gives voice to what Don
and Anne, and perhaps all of us, truly desire
frOm life and relationships. The question is,

00 we usten'!
There will be a reception after each perfonnance and a music collage in the lobby
prior to and during the intermissions of
each perfonnance.
,Previously scheduled for a March showing, the new dates are April 2, 3, and 4. This
production is sponsored by Evergreen Expressions and will be presented at the Experimental Theatre. Each performance will
begin at 8:00 p.m. Child care will be provided for Saturday's show only.
The perfonnance is free, but everyone is ~
encouraged to support local food banks by
donating a can of food as admission. 0

DIVERSITY

Men's Center may fold without interest
by Ian Hagemann, Coordinator
Evergreen Men's Resource Center
It is my understanding that the Men's
Center was one of the original Evergreen
student groups that died out because oflack
of interest, but that it was refounded dur• ing the 1980's in response to a shooting incident in the Greenery. It was refounded
to address, 'and hopefully reduce, male
violence in the Evergreen community and
surrounding areas. The Men's Center's current mission is as follows:
"The Men's Center is a student organization at Evergreen which provides services
and acti'ities for men and women of the
Evergreen community interested in learning more about men and about O
sensible
male response to sexism and heterosexism.
The Men's Center recognizes a responsibility to promote and encourage men in nontraditional, non-oppressing roles in society
and works to acomplish this by maintaining a library open to all students made up
of various materials which address these
issues. Realizing that many men are oppreBBed as a result of their color, their
religion, and/or because of their gender
orientation, the Men's Center also
recognizes a responsibility to fill the needs
of these minority groups and to work to include them in the scOpe of its activities."
I have decided to block the use of student
monies to fund a Men's Center in the upcoming year by not submitting a budget to
the S & A Board unless I become aware of
sigtillicantly more interest in the existence
of Men's Cent;er. In order to justify the
use of student monies for a Men's Center,
I need people to express their interest
before the ninth of March, after which I
won't have the time to prepare a budget for
the upcoming year. I decided to take this
action because I have come to believe that
the level of interest in the Men's Center as
it is currently defined does not justify its
existence as a student group at Evergreen.
Only a few students have been interested
enough in the Center to stop by or leave
messages and only two students were ongoing participants in the men's support group
I sponsored fall quarter. Many people called who wanted to know about the Geof
MorgaltiRighteous Mothers concert on
January 23, but they were not interested
'in the organization.
ShouldoI not receiVe sufficient interest in
the Men's Center, I will spend the rest of

the year disbursing the Men's Center's
duties to other student groups and working through the files to create a document
which should help any people who might be
interested in finding out about the current
and past Men's Centers in the future. I will
also sponsor a film, Enmmous Change&at
the Last Minute, a John Sayles film based
on the works of Grace Paley, which is about
the way women see men: that I have
already arranged with Thursday Night
Films. I will also co-sponsor other events
and possibly sponsor an event or two
myself.
Should I become aware of more interest
in the Men's Center, through phone calls
to the center (x6002), people stopping by
during office hours (Tuesdays and
Wednesdays from 9 to i), or through people talking to me before the ninth of March,
I will set up a Men's ('.enter Steering Com-

mittee with interested members of the
Evergreen community to discuss the role
of the Men's Center and to help next year's
coordinator plan out events and make policy
decisions during the coming year. I will
also, hopefully, recruit a second paid coordinator (15 hours a week) during spring
quarter who I would train as best as I can
to coordinate the center next year and with
whom I would put on other events, work
on next year's budget, and create the document about the histOry of the Men's Center
with the addition of its future goals aJ)d
objectives.
I sincerely hope that students will respond with input and involvement about the
issues raised here about the Men's Center
so that Evergreen won't be deprived of a
student group which aims to increase diversity and understanding among all of the
members of the Evergreen Community. 0

Holocaust artifacts and documents held at
the Seattle Center Forum March 8 - 29. Admission will be free.
Sponsored by the Jewish Federation of
Greater Seattle, United Jewish Appeal, the
Washington State Jewish Historical Society, and the Seattle Center, the purpose of
the exhibition is to enable hundreds of

of the terrible tragedy. We trust it will instill them with concern and vigilance so that
such a disaster will never again be inflicted
upon mankind.
This exhibition, which consists of materials from the Auschwitz State Museum in
Poland, was on display in the United Nations during othe winter of 1985-86 and was
viewed by approximately 75,000 persons in
a period extended by popular demand.

Upon conclusion of that showing, the
United Jewish Appeal, in association with
