I would like to see this quarter's paper

embarrassed

OK, let's see here. In the guidelines
to writing letters to the CPj it says not
to be "ovedy malicious". So let it be
clear that malice is not my intent.
However, a~"a graduate of Evergreen,
and a terminal champion of underdog
cau~es. I mm,t protest the inaccurate
anrl sloppy treatment of my show of
work at the Smithfield. It's this kind of
poor quality reporting and presentation
that keeps Evergreen's reputation
dangling in the balance here in the Olym·
pia community .
First of all, it's Sisafus [s1c.Jthat keeps
eternally roiling the boulder up th~
mountain . My name has a "G" as the
third letter. Also, there are five ml\ior
misspellings in four short paragraphs,
and the location of the Smithfield is not
5th and Columbia, it is 212 West 4th.
I also want to say that when you shoot
a flash at plexiglas, you get a picture of
the flash, and you do not use that pic·
ture to represent the artist's work.
And, as my last and most ardent com·
plaint, I must insist that I never, u~n
perusing Andy Warhol's work, said the
published quote, "Hey, I can do that."
So let's make a deal. You guys do a big

article on the Olympia AIDS Task Force
and the benefit we're planning for ear·
ly summer and I'll forget the whole
thing. Let's just say that it's a tad em·
barassing to go around town defending
Evergreen, and then have their
newspaper spell your darn name wrong
on the cover.

~-Joel--sp~~s
To: CPj
In reading my letter headed "Free
Parties, Free Movies, Free Towels and
Free ConCerts for Students" in the April
9, 1987 CPj, I realized that it had been
primarily a letter about ends and that
I had slighted the means of achieving
those ends. I also spotted some errors.
I want to correct the errors and
outline the means you, the students, can
use to end the S&A Board's policy of pay
$219 and pay again for concerts, dances,
towels and other user fees.
First, the errors. I wrote that S&A
fees are $210 per year; they are $219 per
year. I wrote that the administration
was asking for 500 more students over
2 years, but it is 200 more next year and
2

400 more the year after (Stan Mar·
shburn). Thus, the subject of my letter
was not $105,000 in S&A fees as writ·
ten but $131,400 in S&A fees ($219 x
600).
Isn't it amazing how these thousands
of dollars can escape one's attention?
How can you, the students, the payers
of $219 per year to the S&A Board, end
the policy of being charged for movies,
dances, concerts, towels and user admission fees? After all, you have already
paid once; why pay again?
What is needed is a clear mandate,
unequivocal, from the student body to
the S&A Board. Since there is no stu·
dent government other than the S&A
Board there are three effective methods:
personal lobbying, sending letters and
petitioning.
Personal lobbying by students is ex·
tremely effective. Because the S&A
Board receives 80 little input from
students as a group (while desiring a lot),
when the voice of students does speak
it carries great weight.
For instance, in 1982 it was proposed
that the S&A Board fund the Recreation
Center being open 48 weeks instead of
40. Some of the S&A Board members
were very opposed to this due to cost.

estimate. Gee, only $45,000 or so out of
$131,400; somehow I think you'll figure
out what to do with the rest.
In the end, all S&A fees come from
students and are yours to dispose of.
S&A is about to receive what may be its
last surge in uncommitted revenue for
the forseeable future. Once that revenue
is committed in a historical sense it is
very difficult to pry loose from groups'
budgetary turf.
You must act now, lobby, organize and
sign petitions and send letters. Use your
power act to change your world with
your money. If you don't tell the S&A
Board what to do with your money,
someone else will.
Joel J. Barnes

But as conscientious Board Members
they polled students of different political
perspectives. All the polled students
wanted the CRC open for 48 weeks.
These student Board Members, though
they were opposed and had the veto
power, conferred by the S&A Board consensus process, chose to let the CRC be
open 48 weeks a year as the student
body desired.
Even 10 students making their views
known carries a lot of weight.
Appear as a group and talk to the S&A
Board. Talk to Board members
individually.
However, 10 different sets of students
individually talking to 7 S&A Board
members cannot be said to be a clear
mandate from the majority of students. .
To get a clear mandate you need a petition. If nn individual student drew up a
short petition and passed it around, it
would be a beginning. Start now.

.~

~slammed
To: CPj Editor,
I think Joel makes a good point. In
reality, however, there simply is not
enough money in the S&A pot to fund
both fundamental services and optional
services. When there is not enough
allocated money to fund all services,
then managers have two choices: 1) to
devise other methods of raising the
necessary funds, or 2) to eliminate the
service. It is necessary that a manager
establish whether a service is essential
or optional.
Joel mentioned the towel service at
the CRe as one which should be free.
That point of view is only valid if enough
students feel that the towel service is a
fundamental need or strong enough
desire to warrant using allocated funds
rather than to pay for that service aH an
option. While I agree with Joel that campus films should not cost more than films
at" ·cOlnmercial houses an()" "t11lU" -

I have run a rough estimate of the cost
of ending user fees and charges from different group's budgets. Off the top of my
head here is the rundown. 30 student
groups have about $500 and in estimated
revenue from ticket sales to concerts,
dances, etc; total cost: $15,000. The CRC
towel fee is approximately $4,500 per
year. Thursday Night Films and EPIC:
$5,000-10,000. KAOS: $2,000-4,000 (they
hold two large dances). The Bike Shop:
$2,000? Supplemental Events: $10,000.
A total of about $45,{)()().
I haven't included Driftwood
Daycare's estimated revenue because
Driftwood parents already receive $600
per child in return for $219 in S&A fees.
The Evergreen Expressions, co-funded
by S&A, would require detailed negotiations (which is what you have the S&A
Board forfand is heyonamy-aoifity to - -

Evergreen is unique in the degree to
which it pays coordinators of special interest groups, I have never felt, even as
the CRC manager, that having someone
else launder a towel for you was a particularly pressing need or high priority.
Students are free to bring their own
towels and locks each day that they use
the CRC. Students who prefer the luxury of having a towel laundered for them
and having a permanent locker may
choose to pay for that service. The
allocated S&A dollars pay for essential
operational costs such as lifeguards.
Revenue enables us to offer a number
of services which students can choose to
purchase. To me this makes perfect
sense, so long as the S&A board is
responding to current student interest.
Should students begin to demand free
towel service then the board should consider allocating funds for that. Until
then, towels will continue to cost $3 per
quarter for those students who choose
that service. I think it is wise to provide
for basic needs and healthy to charge for
individual choices.

insulted

Dear Joel:
I found your letter most appealing;
you paint a hopeful picture of bettering
student life at Evergreen. But your slam
of student coordinators is miHinformed.
Not all coordinator positions are S&A
funded. The services of student coordinators do much to preserve cultural
diversity.
If you remove coordinator positions,
,,_..wh.Cj,tllOdy...Qf~opl~'!Voul~!'you ~I!lace_~

them with, and how much would you pay
them, or how would you have volunteenl
aHsume the responsibility a"d accountability of coordinating these groups?
College students tend to be most
dedicated to their coursework, their
jobs, and their families. How do you propose to find dedicated people to spend
additional time with student groups? We
can actually consider ourselves lucky
that so many dedicated people are willing to work so hard, so long, and for such
little pay. Many coordinators get paid
minimum wage for 12-19 hours per
week; many, like ourselves, regularly
put in 30-60 hours weekly, and are fulltime students. You are right; most coordinators at oth~ campuses don't get
paid, nor do they offer the ser-

vices and support we do here.
AB for towel fees and student user fees
for access to Evergreen equipment, that
sounds like a separate issue, and
perhaps a separate budget.
Incidentally, I've not met anyone
zealous enough to reproduce the library.
As a research resource, the Environmental Resource Center is more involved with suggesting reference and
periodical material to the library collection than attempting to reproduce it.
Frankly, we haven't their storage space.
Joel, which issue is more important to
you: slamming the student coordinators,
or a better life at Evergreen? Please
define.

admission

Dear Joel,
After reading your article regarding
"no admissions," we can't help but respond to the narrow-mindedness of your
comments. We would like to help
educate you by clarifying most of your
comments. You compared Evergreen to
U ofW and mentioned movies, concerts,
and dances are free there. Do you realize
that the student population there is
about ten times as many as at
Evergreen? With ten times as many
students, money, they can afford to provide entertaining fllms, concerts and
dances. They have student clubs whose
main function is to provide fun games
and dances. Here at Evergreen we have
student org-cU1izations, whose jobs are to
organize, promote and provide student
support; limited academic and personal
_ ~ .!ldvisiJ}g; ~lt,Yrl!l ~~n~ss; political
awareness; and, yes, also fun and entertaining events. We do all that and much
m9J"e with a very limited budget and
very little support from the
administration.
Every year, the ABianlPacific Isle
Coalition receives an average . of about
2500 dollars for goods and services. I
suspect that other student organizations .
get about the same amount. That is a
very minHnal amount of money for providing quality cultural events. The cost
of throwing a quality live band dance
ranges from 400 to 800 dollars. Getting
a guest speaker costs about 55 to 100
dollars in honorariums. Bringing a poet
here costs about 150 dollars. Puttin2' on
a cultural event like AsianlPacific Isle
Heritage Week (coming up April 27-May

1) costs from 1000 to 1700 dollars.
Your comment about coordinators
having no commitment with students'
money and how we are wasting money
getting paid for our office hours is the
most unappreciative and insulting thing
we have ever heard. Most of us get paid
for ten hours a week. However, we put
in forty hours a week to put together
events and to provide student support.
Weare doing a professional job for very
minimal pay. So as you can see, we have
every right to be paid. Suppose there
are no student organizations and no
coordinators? Then there would not be
an AsianlPacific Isle Coalition. There
would not be an Indian Center Umoja,
MEChA, Women of Color, EPIC,
etc. Can you, Mr. Barnes, provide support for AsianlPacific Isle, Indian, Black,
Hispanic students and other student
groups? Can you provide cultw-al events
that deal specifically with those
cultures? Do you think the administration would? If you want free parties and
games, then I suggest that you go to U
. 0fW.
You mentioned that the CPj and S&A
Board should do some investigatfve
reporting of the organizations. For once
in your narrow-minded article, we agree
with you. We cordially invite you, the
CPj and S&A Board, and any administration member to spend a day in our offices. Maybe then you will gain a sense
of appreciation for the quality work the
coordinators do for the whole Evergreen
State College and community. Until
then, please don't blindly criticize us.

Coalition, 866-6000 ext. 6033

backhoe

"
To the Editor, '\
I am writing in response to your decision to run a photo of "The mighty
H-1000 backhoe", instead of photos
given to you of the groundbreaking
ceremony held on the housing sight. I
suppose if you did not hear the words
ofSuqamish Nation member Harold Belmont, it would seem more fitting to run
a photo of a piece of equipment. You
would not have had the opportunity to
hear Harold speak with respect of the
earth that was to be torn up. You would
not have seen the sage and sweetgrass
that was buried on the site, no doubt
under the tracks of the wonderful
"mighty H-l000 backhoe". It is hard to
imagine why a photo of a groundbreak4

ing ceremony done in such a respectful
way, was preempted by that of "The
mighty H-l000 backhoe". If you change
your mind, you know where the
negatives are.
To all my relations,
G.W . Galbreath

stirred

To the Editor:
Both civil rights and peace were
movements that passionately stirred my
generation. We came to learn about
those who had preceded us and to hope
that others would follow. With the onset
of disco in the 70's, punk in the 80's, and
the growing collection of "execu-dragl'
clothes in my closet, I began to w(lTIder
about myself and whether I could
understand the statements that younger
people were making.
When I read in the Daily 0 about the
recent anti-apartheid demonstration at
the Capitol, I felt a familiar stirring of
passion ami I was very, very proud that
Evergreen students were the leaders of
this act of social disobedience.

Library

CPI:

The reference area of the library will
be re-modeled during this Spring
quarter. The staff will be making every
effort to keep materials accessible while
this is taking place, but they ask you to
expect things to be moved around to
new locations. They apologize for the inconvienence t.hat this project will cause
and ask for your patience and understanding during reconstruction .
This cOlllltruction will require that the
lounge area by the circulation desk be
permanently re-located to another part
of the library . If you have any suggestions please let them know. This project
is needed to provide more shelf and office space in the reference area .

Coordinators challenge S&A
Several student organizations have
spoken out in a single voice. Their
message, a loud and clear one, was in
response to a proposed action that would
have limited each S&A group to a single
coordinator.
The purpose of the policy change was
said to be an attempt to develop a
system of managerial accountability. Ad·
ditional staff could still be used, but a
single person wl)uld have responsibility
for the organization.
An ~pril 1 memo written by Cheryl
Henderson·Peters, Student Leadership
Coordinator for the S&A administrative
office, stated: "As of the academic year
'87-88, each organization will be permit·
ted one coordinator." On the following
day, Cheryl wrote student coordinators
rescinding the memo. She cited "a

united voice" of student opposition as
the reason for changing her decision.
Student coordinator reaction to the in·
itial memo ranged from disbelief to
outrage. "Actually I thought it was a
joke at fIrst," said Daleo Rosa, cocoordinator of the Women of Color Coali·
tion. Esther Howard, co·coordinator of
the Lesbian-Gay Resource Center said,
"I was shocked because it was counter
to what had been discussed."
"The decision was made too quickly
and did not take into consideration the
feelings of certain people," admits
Cheryl. "We need to recognize the fact
we made a mistake, but not get bogged
down by it."
It is the feeling of both Cheryl and
some student coordinators that much of
the problem lies in the ambiguous nature

of Cheryl's job, which is a new position.
The S&A Administrative Office was reorganized this year. What was once a
single position, Director of Student Affairs, has been divided into two positions, Student Leadership Coordinator
and Student Affairs Administrative
Coordinator.
The Administrative Coordinator position is clearly defIned in that it deals
primarily with budget matters.
However, Cheryl's position is not as
clear-cut. Generally speaking, she is
responsible for advising and supervising
student organizations.
"All along live heard really clearly
from an administrative .side what they
would like my position to be. This is the
fIrst time that I've had an opportunity
to hear student voices saying, "keep
your hands off the organizations and do
training," Cheryl said. "I think we have
to balance that to a certain extent, but
I think tnere are ways we can do that."
Cheryl does not question the
autonomy of student groups, who in her
opinion have the final say in matters concerning their organizations. "I will
always ... defer to student opinion
because it is the nature of this position,"
she added.
But students coordinators still seem
wary. "I think she is still considering
limiting coordinators," Kaleo worried.
"In some ways it is indicative of a trend
to streamline student organizations,"
remarked Esther. It is a move she fears
will limit the effectiveness of student
groups.
As a result, student coordinators ,have
issued a memo requesting a meeting
with Cheryl; Vice-President for Student
Affairs, Gail Martin;c Dean of Student
Development Ernest (Stone) Thomas,
and the rest of the S&A administrative
staff. The memo requested that these
people meet on April 22 to clarify
Cheryl's job description.
Cheryl acknowledges the ~uspicion of
the student coordinators. "Having made
a mistake early on created some of that.
All I can hope is that there is some willingness to go on from here."
What remains to be seen is if she can
effectively supervise the groups while
also deferring to student opinion.

Coalition fights SDI
The Thurston County Coalition to
Stop Star Wars (T.C.C.S.S.W.) held its
first meeting at the Olympia Timberland
Library. Forty people heard members
Dr. Lisa Johnson and Tim Kelly explain
why they believe that Star Wars (SDI)
should be dropped by Congress
immediately.
Dr. Johnson related a brief histOry of
U.S. attempts at ballistic missile defense
since the 1950s and the many technical
hurdles that would leave the trilliondollar system vulnerable to attack or
deception. Kelly reviewed a study
published in The New England Jaurnal
of Medicine, which discussed medical
aspects of a Soviet attack with a <195%
effective" (very optimistic) system in
place: more than half the U.S. population would die within the first week. For
less than 5% of the Star Wars' cost, the
Soviets could double their current
warheads and virtually assure complete
U.S. destruction.
In view of these flaws, Star Wars
makes sense not as a defense, but only
as part of a U.S. first-strike scenario, Dr.
Johnson said. In other words, a leaky
shield would only be effective to blunt
Soviet retaliation after our missiles had
destroyed most Soviet missiles in their
silos. She thinks this explains the Soviet
uneasiness about the proposed
Strategic Defense Initiative.
Kelly said most people don't realize
that Star Wars also will offer no protection against the newer ground-hugging
cruise missiles, and within 5-7 years the

Soviets will have about 2500 of them.
Moreover, since the U.S. has gone from
being the largest creditor nation to the
largest debtor nation in the world in only
three years, it makes no sense to continue to waste money on a system that
not only won't protect us from nuclear
attack, but may actwilly precipitate one,
he said.
According to former Secretary of
Defense Clark Clifford, "We will have
'Star Wars' or arms control. We can't
have both." The T.C.C.S.W_ wants to
prevent SDI from being implemented.
The next coalition meeting is on Thursday,
April 30, at 7:30 p.m. at the downtown
Olympia library. The group is open to
anyone interested in opposing Star
Wars; it includes local chapters ofPhysicians for Social Responsibility, Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, Beyond War, and others.
The goal of the coalition is to educate
Thurston County residents about three
important facts about the system: 1) it
is very dangerous, 2) it won't work, 3)
it is extremely expensive. They want to
convince people to oppose it. The group
has planned an aggressive action campaign, including bumper stickers,
newspaper ads and demonstrations.
Your help, ideas and/or donations would
be greatly appreciated and make a difference. For more information about
Star Wars, future meetings or activities,
call John Finnan at 357-7272 in the
evening.

Wildlands ,internships
Wildlands Rel!earch is a apecial fIeld
study program sponsored by San Francisco State University. It is a nationwide, nonproflt program that takes college students to wildlands and
wildwaters throughout North America,
Hawaii and Nepal to work in small
research teams under the expert leadership of prominent environmental
authorities. No previous fIeldwork experience is requirP:l of team members,
and all neceBSP.:y skills are taught onsite. In add!~ion to gaining an understanding of ~ile complexity of environmental decision-making, students often contribute directly to the future of wild

areas through their own fmdings and
projects.
Today, America appears to be in a
critical decade of decision-making about
wildlands use. "Long-range plans are
now being drawn for management of national forests and wildlife populations
which, once established, will be locked
in place for decades to come," Bayexplains. "In addition, the opening of
Alaska to oil, mining, and foresting interest presents an exciting new
challenge to environmentalists. It's a
kind of "last fIrst chance" to see that
wildlands are developed responsibly."

Seven students were arrested in
front of the State Capitol Building last
Wednesday for protesting U.S. policy
towards South Africa.
The seven were among 40 who rallied
in support of a bill which would require
the state to divest its funds from corporations doing business in South
Mrica. The Senate had defeated an
earlier bill calling for review of the
investments.
The demonstration began as a sit-in
in the office of Republican Senators
Zimmerman and Saling. Students were
dragged out and locked out of the
building.
The demonstrators then marched to
the Capitol Building, where they attempted to enter the Rules Committe
hearing where the bill was being
discussed. They were prevented from
entering by state police and went
around to the front of the Capitol
where police again barred their entrance to the building.
The students were ordered to leave
the area in front of the doors. Seven
refused to do this and were arrested.
They were charged with public disturbance, processed, and released.

Peer counseling

'5\rt Su~, Inc.

The Counseling Center is seeking applicants for internships for the next
academic year.
Peer counseling internships offer a
unique opportunity for outstanding
undergraduate students to benefit from
training normally offered only at the
graduate level. After initial intensive
training, peer counselors perform individual therapy, intervene in crisis
situations, and co-facilitate therapy and
support groups. They receive on-going,
high-quality supervision which aims to
integrate training in counseling skills
with development of the personality as
the instrument and vehicle of theraputic
work.
The work requires a high level of
maturity and colrurutment. Considerable
personal resources are called upon in
close work with emotionally distressed
people. In supervision, peer counselors
often work with their own personal
issues as these relate to counseling.
They receive direct feedback, both corrective and affirmative, about their
counseling and about themselves as
counselors. Working with this feedback

to maximize professional and personal
development requires a fairly secure
sense of self and self-esteem.
The Counseling Center aims to create
a supportive environment where staff
members help each other cope with the
stresses of the work. That help often
takes the form of unscheduled debriefings where one counselor tells another
about a particularly difficult or
marvelous counseling experience. At
other times counselors help each other
through personal crises and times of
transition.
Peer counseling positions require a
twenty hour week, nine month commitment with work study or internship
status, as well as participation in a relevant academic program.
We encourage all students who will be
juniors or seniors next year, and who
want to be part of this kind of intensive
training program, to come by the
Counseling Center and pick up an application. Applications are due May 15
and include essay questions.

Future looms heavily for
Native American Studies

retreat, will come face to face with the
Native
American
educational
philosophy, which has a significantly different view on the requirements for a
good education.
Although a presentation by the DTF
is not yet confirmed on the retreat agenda, it is still a strong likelihood, and the
DTF is planning as though it will happen. They have a day-long meeting
scheduled for April 22nd. At that
meeting, it is hoped, a sufficiently sound
integration of the empirical data
which the DTF's more loyal members
have been diligently gathering will be
made.
As politics would have it, it is
reasonable to assume that the consequences of the DTF's work will be
founded more on the feeling left by the
presentation at the retreat than by the
group's final presentation later this
year. Either way, the Higher Educational Courdination Board will be in to

available at the end of this quarter. Currently, however, a far more ominous appointment with fate awaits it at the eoming faeulty retreat scheduled for the end
of this month.
One DTF member said the retreat will
be a "watershed" for the group. The
educational traditionalists (if they can be
called that at Evergreen), whose belief
in specific kinds of academic criteria will
have the courage of expression at the

Time is closing in on the Native
American Studies (N AS) Disappearing
Task Force (DTF). The DTF is charged
with determining how the NAS program
functions for Native Americans and
oth'i!r students, studying the·philosophy
of NAS pedagogy, determining how well
the program serves Native Americans,
and discovering to what extent inter·
cultural literacy is served by the pro·
gram. It is due to make its final product

review the program during 1987-88. No
one thinks the DTF is going to solve all
the problems, but the coming weeks are
effectively the days of NAS's trial before
the Western educational establishment.
This, then, is not a bad time to assess
how the DTF is doing in answering the
concerns which brought it.together: the
role of NAS in individual studies at
Evergreen, racism, the commitment of
the school to Native Americans, and the
effectiveness of the program as a link in
the chain of a degree-granting
institution.
It is safe to say that all these concerns
and more have been raised, but sorry to
note that little serious discussion has
followed them. People taking positions
on the DTF are a dime-a-dozen. Sincere
efforts of compromise and conciliation
are rather more rare.
The most important problem the
group has is the level of commitment by
its members. Two members, between

them making up three minorities, have
foresaken the DTF entirely. Several student or alumni members, who were
chosen by their peers with the
understanding that they woUld commit
themselves to the DTF, have been
sparse in their recent attendance. Many
DTF faculty members have convieniently found other assignments to keep them
occupied.
One said he was keeping up "in spirit"
by consulting his fIle of written materials
from the DTF, which is an act blind to
one of the fundamental aspects of the
problems, namely, the disparity between the Anglo and Indian cultures on
their emphasis on the importance of
written and oral communication.
The one representative of the administration on the DTF has been at
best irregular in her attendance. This is
especially a pity, as she was perceived
as a needed mediating influence in her
subgroup which, dealing with some of

the most volatile issues, has been practically incapacitated by disagreement.
Of an original list of 20 names, possibly
half of the members meet regularly. The
attendance of the DTF is not just
shameful. It is indicative of the desire
on campus to avoid the issues. As a participant observer of the group, I find
myself quite angry at those whose nonatte ndance effectively sabotages the
process.
No, there is no reason to be totally
devoid of optimism as to how this will
all come together. Those who are commited to the DTF are doing good work.
The tasks are huge, laborious and
tedious, to be sure, but they are getting ,
done. Whatever the adequacy of the
fInal results, each will be sound and well
thought out. It is my sincere hope that
they will also be enough to at least bring
a fresh· perspective to the Native
American Studies area controversy. 0

n my struggle to piece
together a metaphor for
understanding my rela·
tionship to the rest of
life, I have been sorting through Chris·
tianity
if I'm spring cleaning my
closet. Some things strike true; others
clash with my own sense of what is right.
The celebration of Easter, however, reo
mains for me" a vital lesson.
When I was sevente~n I woke before
dawn on Easter morning and shook my
young sister awake. We drove in the
darkness to the state park, and met for
a sunrise service with other members of
my family's church.
Families drifted in to the am·
pitheather overlooking the Puget Sound
as the sky turned grey. A heavy mist
hung over the water and dripped from
the trees. A bonfire was crackling and
around it I could see the faces of my
community. Mrs. Sugden had taught my
third grade Sunday school class. Dharla
Mobley had taught me how to put on
makeup. These were people who had
known me since I was a child; and of the
children, I myself could remember many

I

as

\

'"

of their births. I had rocked them in the
nursery during the services.
We sang together as the sky grew
light through the drizzle; simple songs
that we all knew by heart. The pastor
spoke of life after death, spring after
winter, of a God great enough to create
the universe and personal enough to
know us and love us. What he said pal·
ed next to what we felt and saW: a world
that was not accident but a work of art,
and one that proclaimed a cycle of
rebirth from every budding limb.
We celebrated quietly that morning.
We praised the spirit that drew us
together and fIlled us with a peace as
tangible as the heat from the fIre. We
celebrated each other and the acceptance and love that cuts across personal
differences. We came away nourished,
and went home to our families
understanding resurrection, just as we
understood that the sleep and i110if·
ference had fallen away and been replace.with a quiet power.
My own spiritual journey has taken
me away from Christianity. This does
not keep me from fInding meaning in
II

Easter and the principles behind the
metaphor of Christ's death and
resurection.
This is how the story goes: God
created the world, and created us as his
children, so that we cuuld love and grow.
But we fell away into dishannony and
sin, and since God was just, we had to
face the natural consequences of our
wrong actions. Yet he loved us too much
to to see us suffer, and he took that suf·
fering on himself, as any parent would.
He symbolically sent part of himself
here to teach us, lead us, and take our
pain onto himself so that we could be
free of it. This part of God was Christ,
who was crucifIed, died, and was buried,
although he was innocent.
After three days in the underworld,
Christ overcame death and returned to
life, physically, a living and jubilant sign
that good ultimately wins out over evil,
and life over death.
It doesn't matter to me whether or not
this is historical fact. Truth doesn't need
to be factual. Mythology speaks a
language more mighty than that of
history. Jung's analysis of why the myth
has meaning and the long diatribes I
could go into right now on symbolic
signifIcance and so forth really don't
matter much either.
What really matters to me is that the
story stf'ikes a chord too deep to be
dissected. It teaches me that that the
order and law of science is only part of
the universe. Underneath the order is
a spirit of compassion and creativity, and
with that spirit comes uncertainty and
mystery. The law of death cannot over·
come the spirit of love.
This Sunday, I encourage you to wake·
before dawn and watch the darkness
melt into light. Give praise and thanks
that this is so, and know that it will
always be so. 0

It was defInitely a peak experience.
I believe the inspiration came from the
little girl that lives in my heart. I was
meditating with a friend with the sound
of African drums in the background
when both of us began to laugh. "All I
saw was purple and orange" he said as
his eyes flew open. "All I saw was
mys~lf streaking across Red Square," I
~aid . I· began to peel ~he . layers . .
My heart was pounding as I stepped
from the ivy beneath the trees. "It's
springtime!" J yelled as I burst onto Red
Square. "Wa"Re up!" The drums grew
louder, the people began to laugh and
cheer as I ran a loop around the people
dancing in the center. ("This is fun!" I
thought to myself. The little girl in my
heart was jumping up and down and
clapping her hands.)
I burst into the CAB building. "It's
spring!" I sang and watched heads
swivel. People's faces seemed to drop in·
to their laps. Mind·reading, J heard
several people exclaim, "Don't sit down
at my table!" Only one person cheered
me on my dash through this scene of in·
ner doubt and darkness.

Spring rituals tap a world-wide vein

Reclaiming spring celebrations
to aspects of the human being:
EARTH-crystal or rock-body.
WATER-water, emotions.
AIR-incense, mind.
FIRE-candle, spirit.

pings have roots in traditions far
preceding the Christian culture, many
have lost sight of its !'leeper meaning.
Look to the followers of Rudolph Steiner
for one observance of the esoteric
aspects of Easter.
As well, many look to Easter's older
counterpart, Beltane, observed on May
First, about midway between the Spring
Equinox and Summer Solstice. It is the
celebration of full flower, of the dance
of male and female. It is celebrated the
world over with joy and merriment.
May-poles, May wine, fresh fruits,
flowers, can all be part of the festivities.
Some elements that might be useful
for creating "cultural rituals" include:

Spring. A time for the emergence of
life in all its glory from the grey sheath
of winter. Since time immemorial,
humanity has celebrated this season of
renewed hope, of fertility and growth.
As our modern culture has advanced,
we have grown further and further from
the kind of primal unity with nature our
ancestors had. Our rituals of spring often
revolve around candy eggs, new clothes.
and other commodities. We seem to
have lost contact with an awareness of
the Earth as a living process, selfsustaining, and ever-changing.
Some people are reclaiming celebrations I)f just such a vision of the Earth
as a means toward attaining balance,
both as individuals and as a species.
They are looking into the many traditions of Earth's people and finding much
of value that has been discarded. Many
are also creating rituals to celebrate
their sense of connection to our planet.
Following is a description of two of the
methods some are using to celebrate
Spring.
Easter, of course, is one of the biggest
Spring celebrations, and though its trap-

• Some kind of personal element. A
toasting cup or other symbol of one's
turn to talk may be passed around a circle, giving each person an opportunity
to share with the circle.
• Music and/or dance. The music can be
singing, chanting, live instrumental
music or rhythm making.
• Ritual sharing of food or drink.
Such celebrations can be truly
religious as we honor Mother Earth, the
life force within us, and the cyclical
nature of all that is. In creating such
rituals, we make them our own, make
them live. Festivals like these can bring
us closer to life, to,balance, and can thus
be one of the greatest forms of service
we offer ourselves or our planet. And
they can be lots of fun. 0

find our own sacred roots, for we are a
people of the Four Sacred Colors.
Let us consider the Spring of rebirth
and the three major festivals of spring.
Each is marked by the full moon.
The first festival, the full moon during Aries, is the festival of EasterPassover, and the great Western
festival. The second festival, the full
moon during Taurus, is the festival of
the Buddha known as the 'Wesak
Festival," and is the great Eastern
festival. The third festival, the full moon
during Gemini or-festival of the Twins,
is the joining of East and West, and is
known as the "Festival of Humanity."
Looking at these festivals individually helps one understand how each one
symbolizes in different ways the unity
of all humanity and all of life.
Easter is an anciE'nt, festival,
celebrated long before Christianity, at
the time of the full moon during Aries.
The Scandinavian Morning Goddess was
named Esotere. A festival was held each
spring in her name, Eostere, which
means "Festival I)f New Life." The
Babylonian Goddess Ishtar has a similar

festival. In Egypt, this time was
celebrated as the conception of the Sun
God Horus by the Goddess Isis, who
gives birth nine months later at
Christmas. The Jewish Passover is also
celebrated at this time. Each of these
traditions represents a cycle of birth,
death, and rebirth or initiation.
In some cultures; the Easter egg symbolizes the universe hatching from the
Cosmic Egg. In another culture, the
Easter egg was painted yellow, red,
blue, and green, to symbolize the four
elements which make the whole. The
Easter Rabbit is sacred to the goddess
of spring, symbolizing fertility.
During Passover, the Jewish people
are saved from the plague of death by
the sacrifice of a lamb. The lamb is the
young ram or Aries.
At the times of the full moons,
equinoxes, and solstices, it is important
to direct the incl'f".ased vital energy for
healing the Earth. At the close of a vital
energy circle, pIcture the entire Earth
surrounded by light ..nd love -- the
spring of rebirth. 0

The path to self-growth and service is
often reflected by the seasons. Let us be
nourished by Nature's seasons and, in
turn , nourish Her. Nature can teach us
how to live. We only have to listen and
obey.
Spring represents the breaking of
fro zen, clogged habits and patterns, so
that the river of life can flow. Watch two
ducks mating in the spring, and in that
is the dynamics of all creation. We are
no different from our ancestors, as
• Nature is a symbol, and as a vital force
She forces us to listen. It is essential that
we do listen, and restore Nature's
balance. Otherwise, She can do it
Herself. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are Nature's way of righting the
balance. If, however, we can have
volcanic eruptions in consciousness by
breaking old and decaying habits, we can
give birth to the phoenix of rebirth and
transformation.
One ancient way has been the use of
ceremony. Thomas Banyacya strongly
suggests that we go back and find
ceremonies of our origins and use them
for healing the Earth. Each of us must

Television (CAT) will air

IAUD1B·LES

its fIrst show on April 17
at 8 p.m. Shown on chan-

1" .

nel 31 in cooperation with
TCTV, CAT will feature
experimental and provocative work based on
the notion that television
does not have to be a passive and CATato'nic experience.
CAT grew out of a discussion last quarter between fIlmmaker
Bruce BaiI@y and the students in the program "Experiments With
Light And Sound." The talk centered on the fact that television
is manipulative rather than inspiring, and that as artists have the
opportunity (through Evergreen and Channel 31) to have more
control of the images presented on the air.
The fIrst show will be an introduction to the program's production crew, including Executive Producer Sally Cloninger. This may
be the only time you'll see these folks in front of the camera all
season.
CAT will feature local artists' work and explore unusual themes
such as "After Midnight" and "Not Sold in Stores." The public
is invited to participate in choosing themes for three shows for
late spring. You are encouraged to be zany and creative. Got any
ideas? Send them in by May 5th. Write a card to:
CAT, Comm. 301, Evergreen State College, 98505.
Drop it off if you're close by. Also, if you miss Friday's show,
you'll haye a chance to view it again on Sunday becanse the show
will be aired twice weekly. 0

mexico-ho-ho

Gary Diamond is a correspondent
traveling til:rough Central America.
This week, he gives his impressions of
Mexico
,
exico is a very poor nation. The standard of living here is not comparable to that in the
United States, and is immediately visible the ~oment you cross the border.
Many Mexicans live without flush
toilets. To take a hot shower, a small fire
must fIrst be built underneath the hot
water tank. The average home is made
of raw cement and bricks.
Clothes are usually washed by hand in
a wash basin or outdoors in a stream or
waterhole where women and children
will often gather for "laundering parties."
Yet, despite their poverty, the Mexican people are good spirited and
reasonably well contente'ct. They rise
above the harshness of their economic
climate with a truly noble pride. They
are among the friendliest and most
generous people I have met anywhere.
I am regularly stopped on the street
with a handshillie and asked where I'm
from and how long I've beert traveling
through Mexico. I've been invited into
Mexican homes and shown the utmost

M

generosity.
At one point I actually had a problem
in dealing with Mexican hospitality. I
happened to have arrived in Encarnacion de Diaz while a carnival was going
on and the mood there was especially
festive. I had been given a large amount
of potent EI Presidente brandy the night
before, .and was trying to deal with the
dizzying after effects of high-altitude
drinking. But in Encarnacion I simply
could not escape people who wanted to
buy me drinks. If it wasn't a beer it was
a coke. If it wasn't a coke it was a taco.
I literally could not walk down the street .
without someone putting something in
my hand. I didn't want to be rude in the
face of such sincere hospitality, but after
a while I reached my legal limit and
simply had to walk away.
I personally have seen very little
evidence of ordinary street crime among
the Mexicans or directed toward
foreigners. Hitchhiking here is exceptionally easy and personally rewarding.
It is as safe as anywhere in the U.S.
Despite Mexfcois poverty and
primitive sanitation system, the Mexican
people keep themselves and their
streets exceptionally clean. Every morning, sidewalks in front of most homes
and tusinesses are meticulously swept.
This combats the peculiar habit the Mex17

mexico-ho-ho
icans have of tossing litter into the
streets, where it is rooted through by
pigs, dogs and chickens.
An exception to this can be found
among the indeginous peoples who live
throughout the country. They have not
wholly integrated into contemporary
Western society and have embraced considerable hardships in their effort to
catch up with the twentieth century.
They are extremely poor, subsisting on
what produce and livestock they can
raise and selling whatever extra they
produce in the marketplace.
I t is perversly ironic that so many
tourists flock to Mexico to see the archaeological ruins of the ancient Indian
nations that once existed here. The ruins
of the indiginous cultures are quite visi·
ble. even if one does not visit their ancient pyramids. You need only visit any
m~or city and see how these people live
to understand how much ruin they face
today. At best, they are surviving, but
it is a sad existence that they
perpetuate. They age young; many or
the older women are so frail they hardly have the strength or will eve'n to beg.
. It is a tradgedy that the indigenous
peoples of Mexico are so poor, especially considering that their inherited
culture is so rich, They are a colorful
people. Their style of dress is unique and
in some places more than 40 percent of
the population speaks only its native
language. Women still carry their wares
to market in large baskets balanced on
their heads. Their weavings and embroideries are kaliedoscopic in color and
form.
If there is one thing that can bring
salvation to the. impoverished of Mexico,
it is education, but the educational
system here in Mexico has serious flaws.
I t takes a minimal standard of living to
induce people to want to seek an education. For many in Mexico, .education is
an unaffordable luxury"one also seen as
probably devoid of long-term benefits.
As Franklin Roosevelt once noted, people don't eat in the long term. Many
children who ought to be in school instead work the streets, selling whatever
they can in hopes of making a thousand
pesos or so a day.
Education has always been an initiator
of reform and change; sometimes
radically so. Throughout the country of
Mexico today teachers, or maestros, are
working toward achieving educational
reform, Recently they have been quite
politically active in the streets of Oaxaca.
While wandering the streets in search

mexico-ho-ho
of tacos, I stumbled upon a large parade
marching t hrough the city. There iVere
perhaps a t housanrl or more people occupying whole city blocks, carrying banners and chanting loud slogans in unison.
The protestors seemed to be a varied
mix of maestros, students and concern·
ed ~ iti ze ns, both young and old. They
WE're quite vocal and rletermined, but for
the most part passive and courteous.
They were enthusiastic, but I would
hesitate to describe them as angry.
The following day another march took
place. This time the maestros had more
\'isible support and their numbers were
greater. I followed them until the march
ended at the Z'ocalo. There several thousanrl people had assembled in front of
the state municipal building. A fierce rally took place in which the maestros made
their demands clear. I learned that they
were demanrling more money. The
gov ~nor of the state had been
witht:f>lding neerled money from educatio, ·t! programs because the state's
money was going toward paying off
huge debts .- mostly to foriegn banks
such as those in the U.S.
Their speeches on the 4th of March
were emotional and powerful. Crowds of
supPol"ters broke out into angry chants.
The mood quickly took on an air of sup·
presserl hostility. Soldiers carrying rifles
;;tood conspicuously in front of the state
municipal building. From the bell fry,
two stories above street level, the barrel of a well-positioned machine gun
pointerl uut over the Z'ocalo. It brought
to mind memories of the massacre that

scene. When he fmally emerged, he was
charged and forced toilee. He ran up the
street and a mob of a hundred or more
people began chasing him. The secretary
ducked into the Hotel Senorial and
mysteriously vanished, but not before
the mob had smashed a window and
broken a glass table top in the lobby.
This was the extent of the damage incurred during the rally, except for a
liberal amount of grafitti which swept
through the town that day. No one was
hurt, but the maestros had made their
point.
The next day headlines of the local
newspapers talked about how tourism in
the state was on the rise. A small article and a few photographs were devoted
toward the rally, but were more a
criticism of the event than an impartial
account of what took place. The press in
Mexico is under the influence of the
government. They have nothing but
kind words for president Miguel de la
Madrid. Even though his administration
has failed to strengthen Mexico's
floundering economy, the press would
prefer to blame this on bad luck rather
that a poorly managed tiomestic policy.
As a result of subjective journalism
many Mexicans remain ignorant of internal politics.
I wish my Spanish was good enough
to allow me to learn more from Mexican
newspapers, but my knowledge of the
language is scant. I told myself when I
set out for Mexico that, as far as the
language went, it would be either sink
or swim: either I learned it because I

occurred in Metico City in 1968 when
400 students were shot and killed while
protesting at the Olympic games there,
later to be buried in unmarked mass
g raves.
Fortunately, g uns did not have to be
used in Oaxaca, but before long a brief
amount of violence did break out. As the
crowd reached a fervor of protest,
lightning struck in the nearby mountains
and thunder e~hoed through the valley.
I t seemed to fuel the anger of the crowd,
and moments later an angry mob stormerl one of the hotels on the west side of

of a restaurant overlooking the entire

had to or I simply failed to co~unicate
with people who spoke no English. So
far, I'm doing a fair job of treading
water. There is a logic to Spanish which
isn't found as readily in English. For instance, everyone must know the Spanish
word for hat -- sombrero. The word for
shade in Spanish is sombra. The connection here is obvious.
In English, the word hat implies
nothing except a ryhme for the word fat.
The Spanish word for fat is "gordo."
Gordo is also the word for thumb, for of
course the thumb is your fattest fmger.
When I hitch-hike here, "yo vil\io con el
gordo,"(l travel with the thumb).
It is a standard precaution here to
19

watch what you eat 88 many foriegners
have trouble digesting Mexican food.
I've had no problems with it myself. I
don't drink the water and if it is at all
p088lble I'll put a squirt oflemon or lime
juice on fresh vegetables before eatiqr
them; the citric acid kills off harmful
bacteria. Aside from that I've eaten
anything and everything served as food
this side of the Rio Grande.
In a strange way, Mexico reminds me
of Ireland. The two countries are very
much different from one another, but in
parallel ways. Ireland is a nation of
green. Mexico is a nation of brown. The
color dominates the country. The mountains and deserts are brown, the grass
is brown, the people are brown-skinned,
and many of the animals and houses are
also brown.
Mexico and Ireland are also both countries with a passion for music. There is
continuous music in Mexico: in people's
homes, restaurants, stores and shope, on
the bus, in the market, and in many
places it's even broadcast throughout
the. main plaza in the center of to~.
Live music walks the streets, hides at
home, and seems to pop up wherever
there's a crowd. Musicians earn a living
walking into restaurants, playing a few
songs, collecting a few coins and then
moving on. They hop onto busses where
they know a crowd of people will have
no choice but to listen and then donate
a few coins. The musician8 are by no
means a nuisance. On the contrary, most
of them are very good and Mexicans love ·
to hear them play. Many of the instruments they play are hand-made
originals with up to 16 strings, although
the trumpet is still the trademark of the
mariachi.
In addition; Mexicans are for some
reason excellent whistlers. They whistle in pitches like tropical birds.
An old saying here is: "Pity poor Mexico -- so far from God, so clol:!e to the
United States." Mexico has seen its days
of glory from the times of the Mayan
civilization to the age of the Spanish conquest when gold and silver were 80 plentiful that pirates surrounded the
coastline.
Today Mexico retains its history,
chilrm and culture, but the wealth is
gone. What remains is a land of beautiful
people and wild animals that come alive
at night. Monkeys and wild birds scream
in the jungle, coyotes howl on the high
plains, and crazy roosters crow
everywhere at midnight in a mad ch0nJ8
with barking dogs. 0
