My first duty as editor must be to
acknowledge tho se people who have. over
a penod o f man y months. helped me w ith
this whole th ing. I first wish to express my
m ost haertfelt thanks to Polly Trout. Without
her . last yaer would have been a lot less
frustrating. but also much less interesting. Polly got me rae dy fo r thi s Job . so any mistakes
I make are her fault. Poll y is currently typesett ing her way to a career which I know will
be so Infamous that I expect to haer of her
for many yae r s t o come. Take care. Polly .
She and I bo th take in stride and with grace
the fac t that there will soon be something
ve ry. very ro tten in the state of-Denmark .
W hich bnngs m e to jennifer Seymore . to
w hom I also owe a great debt. the nature
of which IS a little less clear. I know I have
been affecte d by her . as IS everyone who
meets her . jen IS a vast pool of potential who.
If she does not self-destruct first. will burst
upon this worl d With exceptional beauty.
N ot unaware o f this beauty as it exists in
It S for mative state IS jason Boughton. in
w hose presence I rejo iced . and who I think
taught me a few things I have yet to learn .

Europe is lovely in Winter jason. and in all
honesty. I reall y hope you have a fantastic
t ime .
Many people Without whom I could not
have done this will have to go unmentioned
in this acknowledgement. but these cannot
include Susan Finkel. who spreads inspiration
as though it were water. encourages dreams.
and yet who is most lovingly patient .
Though it is perhaps not my place to do
so . I dedicate this issue. with all my love. to
m y friend KMH . who exists .

What a mess!
You've just proofread your term paper
and it's got typos, spelling errors and
misplaced paragraphs.
Now, you can't hand in a paper like this.
So no matter how tired you are, you've
got to retype the entire thing.
That is, unless you typed it on
a Videowriter. 1t

The Videowrlter solves all
your typing problems.
Take the most obvious one:
typos.
On an ordinary typewriter
it would mean a bottle of
white-out and a frustrating interruption.
On a Videowriter
it just means pressing the key marked "delete:' That's
all. Because you type your work on a
screen before you print it on a page.

It edits.

work before they printed it on the page.

And how about those bigger problems
like wanting to rearrange paragraphs?
On an ordinary typewriter you have to "cut and
paste" them.
On a Videowriter you only have to press the key
marked "move" and then indicate the area you want
it moved to. It's that simple.

buttons and it does the counting for you.

It makes multiple copies.
From time to time you want a copy of
what you've typed, right?
Well, if you use a Videowriter you won't
have to go to the school library to look
for a copier machine.
All you'll have to look for is the
button marked "print:' Press it
and the Videowriter will make
another original.
And because your work is automatically stored on a standard
31h" floppy disk, you can
make those copies
whenever you
want.

a lot more than type.
. That's because the word processing features just go on and on.
What's more, we sell the Videowritere Word
Processor for around the price of a good electronic
typewriter.
And that's quite a bargain when you consider
the amount of time it'll save you . Time you can
spend doing the work for your other classes.
You would do that, wouldn't you?

What happens when you're typing and you come

On an ordinary typewriter you have to stop typing,
find a dictionary and look it up.
Not so on a Videowriter. Spelling problems can be
corrected simply by pressing the key marked "spell ."

It counts words.
If you've ever had a teacher tell you to write a

Child Center Opens

The Evergreen Child Care Center will
be open for Fall Quarter starting
September 28. A commitment on campus to offer quality services was
reflected by the moving and expansion
of the center to its present location. The
S &A Board approved the Child Care
budget to allow for the hiring of two full
time staff, for which we .are very
grateful. This was done with t.he
understanding that to have a quality
program for children there needs to be
~ consistency, and this is best achieved by
~ t he existence of a pennanent and stable
!"taff which can provide for the children's

total development. The rest of the staff
is made up of students and studentparents. We provide training for the
students and student-parents who are
interested in working with children. We
also have internships available.
During the summer several things
happened at the center. The environmental issues that were raised last
year were finally resolved. The state
determined, after much testing, that the
site is environmentally sound. It was inspected by the Department of Social and
Health Services and is now licensed by
the state. We have also been able to
start the USDA food program, which
allows us to provide meals to enrolled
children.
Our first priority is to children of
parents who are full-time students at
Evergreen State College. Our hours are
8:00am to 5:00pm Monday thru Friday.
We also provide evening care on
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:45pm to
9:30pm. Cost for the care program is on
a sliding fee scale.
The Evergreen Child Care Center
provides a program that allows children
to explore, make choices, and learn
about interacting with their peers. The
curriculum is open ended. We provide
the themes and the children help plan
and implement these themes. The
schedule includes time for free play,
manipulative activities, circle times,
dramatic play, outdoor play, creative art
activities, and quiet time. We have a no
sugar policy. Children are encouraged to
affirm themselves and to build a POSitivde
self-image. It is the continual goal ~n
commitment of the center to proVide

RE:ERC
by Jacinta McKoy
The Environmental Resource Center
(ERC) is a student-funded campus
group. Our main purpose is to inform
people about current environmental
issues.
Over the summer I have spent many
hours working, re-arranging, filing and
planning in the ERC. These hours have
spurred a vision: an efficient, credible,
and innovative center. As with most visipns, planning is necessary; hard work
essential. The planning I have done thus
far is by no means the last word, but I
feel it is a good base from which to grow.
Here is my vision ...
Within the current budget, the ERC
has two paid positions at 10 hours each.
By observing the amount of work that
was required to keep the office running
during the summer hours, I can see that
20 hours is not even barely enough to
run the center. (It is commonly known
that student coordinators work for many
more hours than those for which they
are paid.) My suggestion, then, is the
establishment of some Environmental
Issues Consultants. These consultants
would become familiar with an issue and,
with knowledge in hand, they would fmd
creative ways to inform the Evergreen
and Olympia community. The ERC
would provide office support, working
space, and other support as needed,
things like helping to get events organized. Ideally, I would like to see people
come who would be able to commit to
these positions for the whole year, but
in reality one quarter would be the
minimum limit. The areas that I have
identified for examination by consultants
are: earth-based concerns (forestry, permaculture, water quality), nuclear (Hanford, nuclear-free zones, regulations ,
nuclear war), toxics (hazardous
chemicals in the workplace, food irradiation,
air
pollution),
bioregional-green-ecofeminism (earth
based politics, bioregional conference
planning, campus greens rep,
ecofeminism education). This list is not
complete and does not represent the
only areas of concern. The last part of
the vision involves two people who I feel
must commit for at least two quarters
if not three. These would be the Evnironmental Phone Tree CoordinatorPublicity-Networking Expert and the
Earth Fair Coordinator.

Interested students could receive credit
for this work. I know that there is plenty of work to warrant credit; the only
question would be the fonnat one would
choose to play the role of consultant in,
and. of course. finclin!.! an individual contract-internship sponsor (a faculty
member). I am currently talking with
faculty about my vision, so don't put it
off; come by and let's chat. I can be
reached by leaving a message at extension 6784 or you can come by the office,
located on the third floor of the Campus
Activities Building (CAB), next to the
Cooper Point Journal office.
In closin'k, I should like to extend an
invitation to everyone to come to the
E RCI A special event for us is the Open
House on Thursday, October 8th, between 3:30 and 6:30, but you don't have
to wait till then. Come by sooner. My
hours are 2:00-6:00 pm Tuesdays and
4:00-6:00 pm Thursdays.

Health Help
by Barbara GibsCYn

Feverish? Aching back? Depressed?
Questions about sexuality? There's help
for these and other common college student problems at TESC's Counseling
and Health Center. And for free. With
some exceptions.
Once you have paid your tuition, you
are entitled, as a full-time student, to use
th~ plentiful services located in the
Seminar Building ground floor during
daytime hours (8:00am to 5:00pm) and
one evening a week (to be announced).
Part-time students can pay an extra fee
and use the services as well, and there
is a charge for lab tests, supplies and
prescriptions.
The Health Clinic offers diagnosis and
treatment of illnesses and injuries, gives
emergency fIrst aid, does physical exams
and gives immunizations. The Women's
Clinic (something of a misnomer since it
is open to , both men and women)
specializes is birth control counseling
and supplies, annual pelvic exams,
urinary tract and vaginal infection
checks and treatment, STD (sexually
transmitted disease) information, and
straight talk about sexuality. Good news
for men: this year for the fIrst time the
clinic has employed a student men's
health advocate to care for the special

health concerns of men on campus.
The Counseling Center tends to the
health of the inner person, providing
personal counseling and groups that deal
with psychological and personal growth
issues. Counseling is provided on a oneto-one basis by two professional staff
people, as well as several student peer
counselors. The Counseling Center also
does trainings and educational events for
other groups on campus, as well as providing crisis intervention as needed.
The Counseling and Health Center is
a welcoming, informal place where
students can feel free to drop in for in formation, consultation and help.

Evergreen Political
Information Center
EPIC is a student organization, comprising Evergreen and local community
activists. EPIC's goal is to build a
critical, alternative understanding of the
issues which affect our lives, and to explore the ways by which we can collectively change our situations. Serving
primarily in an educational, action
oriented role, EPIC provides
multime-dia based information, research,
and suPPort regarding local, national,
and international issues.
EPIC's work involves a variety of activities, including the organization and
presentation of local, national, and international speakers; providing extensive
support and referral work for local and
regional individuals and organizations;
coordinating and facilitating studentinitiated ideas and projects; encouraging
immediate awareness of causes requiring urgent action and maintaining a visible networking relationship with local
and regional communities and media.
Last year's events included strong emphasis on the various aspects of U.S. involvement in Central America, the
awareness of political, social and cultural
conditions in Chile and throughout Latin
America, Native American rights,
Washington state and regional farmworker's struggles, as well as providing
information and sponsoring events
regarding developing issues (the Philippines, Star Wars funding, Contra aid updates, and community concerns such as
landlord-tenant
rights
and

. respo~sibilities).

~ ~====================~

If you came to Evergreen, as I did, expecting to find a wholegrain haven in the
wilderness, you may be shocked at the
number of Safe way clones nearby. Most
Olympians do their shopping under
fluorescent lights at supermarkets just
like the ones in Seattle, only with less
whole wheat. Village Mart, at 3210
Cooper Point Road, is the nearest to
campus, close to the busline. They tread
that
narrow
line
between
grocery and convenience store. Then
there is Peterson's, in the Westside
Center.They are on the busline, and
have a pretty good bakery. Several
stores, including Peterson's, are open 24
hours (a sure sign of cultural decadence);
Others are West Olympia Super
Safeway, 400 Cooper Point Road SW;
Bayview Marketplace, W. 4th &
Yashiro (bulk food, deli and cafe);
Mark'n'Pak West, 1530 Black Lake
Blvd. SW; and Ralph's Thriftway,.1908
E. 4th (Ralph also has a pharmacy and
bakery). If you are into bakeries, look
for Wagner's at 1013 S. Capitol. They
also have a deli. Mustn't omit the Blue
Heron Bakery, either, which is a
politically correct place to go. Also, you
should be aware of Capital Mall on the
Westside. A Soviet zoologist defected
there this summer. It's a great big mall
with department stores, yuppy food,
movies (last time I was there Superman
IVwas playing). But, alongside aU this
convenience, there are alternatives.
Visit TESC's Organic Farm, or buy
organic veggies, whole grains and tofu
at The Olympia Food Co-op, 921 N.
Rogers, a homey place with wooden bins
everywhere. Become a member for only $6.00, and you can get a 25 percent
discount by volunteering there three
hours a week. Check out Radiance
Herbs & Massage, 113 E. 5th for its
mellow, everybody·loves-everybody
ambiance.

Restaurants
The Urban Onion (aka "The Herb &
Onion ") on Legion is no longer
vegetarian, but it's a sweet place for
Sunday breakfasts. Someone has
painted tropical scenery outside the windows. The Legion Way Cafe (111 W.
Legion Way) is more down-to-earth, and

by Carol Poole

Dad's Place (303 E. 4th) has a $1.99
breakfast special daily. The Spar, 114 E.
4th, is an old Olympia institution and
Greener sanctuary. It's being reremodeled this fall, to undo last year's
remodeling job. Casa Mia, E. 8th &
Plum, is recommended for cheap, good
Italian food. Try Carnegie's, E. 7th &
Franklin, for upscale dining or cocktails-they've got live piano music weekdays.
Jo Mama's (120 N. Pear) makes
designer pizza with veggies, sprouts and
fruit; you'll pay for it, but if you're sick
of the delivery blues and want
something more than mass-produced pizza, this is the place. If pizza is an art,
Jo Mamahas the brushes. Ben Moore's
(112 E. 4th) serves great burgers,
Eagan's Drive·In (1420 Harrison W.)
has a Big Tom burger, and King
Solomon's (212 E. 4th) and The Rib·
Eye (2423 E. 4th) are a pair of good
greasy spoons. The Rib-Eye is open 24
hours, and King Solomon's has a famous
cocktail lounge.

Espresso Joints
The Smithfield (212 W. 4th) has the
best Hairstyles and Attitudes in Olympia. Artistic types and people with
mohawks hang out and look at the art
displays or, then again, perhaps they are
the art displays .. It's right around the
corner from the bus stop downtown.
Another good hangout is The Asterisk,
Westside Center, with deli food, wine
and espresso and a laid-back nouveaurasta clientele_ The kind of place where
you can sit back and read a book for a
while. Coffee addiction has become a
west coast trend and if you're one qf the
victims, you might also try Batdorf and
Bronsons at 513 S. Capital Way. They
roast their own coffee daily--the freshest
beans in town and the best I've had in
the northwest. Serves coffee & espresso
and teas. A New York Times awaits
anyone interested in the real world.
Then there's Drees at the corner of
Legion Way and Washington Street.

Somewhat bourgeois and upper class,
but very nice people. Serves and sells
Starbucks coffee and espresso. Dark,
anonymous atmosphere where you can
get away from the crowd. Also sells kitchen gear. Nordstroms deserves mention too. At South Sound Mall in Lacey,
Place Ii, a downscale Nordstroms, it has
a wonderful coffee bar. Excellent
'espressos and lattees at reasonalbe
prices.

Begging and Borrowing
You can have a lot of fun for almost
no money at Olympia's second-hand
stores. The New Life Mercantile (45lO
Martin Way, Lacey) sells many of its
garments for 99 cents. The Salvation
Army store at 2020 Harrison Ave. NW
carries a lot of polyester, but bargains
can be found. Goodwill Industries has
a retail store here, too, at 4500 Lacey
Blvd. SE. More expensive second-hand
(the kind that usually is called 'vintage'
instead of 'second-hand') come from the
Treasure Chest, 222 E. State, and Time
After Time, 412 S. Washington. Time
After Time carries a ton of pretty good
clothing. For used and rare books, check
out Counterpoint, 121 NE State, and
Browser's Books at lO7 N. Capitol
Way. Counterpoint is great for radical
leftist literature imd announcements of
community events. At Home With
Books, Westside Center, carries new
and used books, mostly nonfiction, including (this fall for the first time) many
of the books required for Evergreen programs. FinaUy, there arej two record
sh'ops in this town. Rainy Day Records
is right next to the Asterisk at Westside
Center, and Positively 4th Street, 208
W. 4th, carries '60s comics and out-of
-print collectibles as well as some new
music.
Note: this list does not pretend to be
complete; just the places that came to
mind are listed andthe CPJ does nonn
any way mean to suggest that these are
the only places around. You won't be
surprised to learn that we strongly
recommend the patronage of our
advertisers.

They will be making "best friends" with

classroom in which students of different
ages are encouraged to learn together.
They will frequently be making use of
resources in the Olympia area including
a weekly swim at the Valley and regular

OCS always emphasizes a low student-teacher ratio. This year it is expected
be about 12 to 1.
Expenses for OCS are met out of tuition, which is on a sliding scale based on
family income, and ranges from $150 to
$230 per month. Current families are
spread fairly evenly from the lowest to
the highest end of the scale. Parents also
help with maintenance, field trip driving and other cost effective measures.
Those seeking more info should contact

the school at 866-8047 or Stan Shore at
866-1355.
Many Evergreen faculty send their
children to OCS. This year there is a
new head teacher, Julie Holmgren, who
trained at Weber State College in
Ogden, Utah and spent many years with
Head ·Start programs throughout the
northwest. She is joined by Bruce
Walton, who earned degrees from both
North Dakota and Montana State
Universities. He is looking forward to
teaching sign language and Spanish,
among other things. OCS is for children
approximately 4.5 to 8 years old. It is not
affiliated with Evergreen officially,. but
pays rent and educates many faculty and
student kids. Evergreen students often
intern at OCS.

There are three excellent libraries in
Olympia: TESC. the Olympia
Timberland Library (E. 8th & S.
Franklin) and the Washington State
~ibrary at the Capitol. The college
library, by the way, is not designed to
study in; there's just not enough desk
space. You can always take your books
to the CAB, which is better than a
library anyway if you like to eat, drink
and talk while you study. The State
L!brary is a little out of the way, but it's
big and likeable. It has a room devoted
to Northwest history and Northwest
authors, from Raymond Carver to
Frank Herbert. The Capitol itself is
worth a trip if you are wild about l)the
democratic proceBS in action 2)domed
buildings or 3)gardens. Th~ cities of
Lacey and Tumwater also feature
smaller branches of the Timberland
Library network.

High Culture

Appointment Only
--part of a piece by Randi Stanton

Olympia calendars of cultural events
routinely include a lot of happenings in
Seattle and Tacoma, but high culture can
be found here, too, mainly in several art
galleries and theater groups. Closest to
home for Greeners are The Evergreen
Galleries, on the 2nd and 4th floors of
the library and the fIrst floor of CAB.
Their shows last year included neon art,
photography and senior thesis projects.
Marianne Partlow's Gallery, at 5th and
Washington, is currently showing paintings and prints by Royal Nebeker, an
Expressionist whose work is influenced
by his Norwegian heritage. Handmade
jewelry, pottery and works by Northwest artists are on display at
Childhood's End Gallery, 524 S.
Washington. The Olympia Film Society brings foreign and art fIlms to the
Capitol Theater. And there's often live

musical entertainment and various other
productions at the Washington Center
for the Performing Arts, 512 S.
Washington. Harry Belafonte and Paul
Horn are both coming to the
Wasbington Center this fall.

Nightlife in Olympia
I t does exist, depending on your idea
of a good time. There's live music and
dancing at The 4th Ave Tav (210 E. 4th)
if you like r&r and r&b. The 4th claims
the city's largest draft selection: 18 imported and domestic brews to choose
from. For jazz enthusiasts, The Rainbow (W. 4th & Columbia) has concerts
on weekends, and Monday is open mike
night. "Whisker's on Mud Bay is a fun
pool hall with a parking lot full of pickups

Student Governance
PROVISIONAL

STUDENT

by Gail Martin
A very wise Evergreen student wrote
about governance: ..... there has been little controversy regarding whether there
should be students involved in decisionmaking. The maJor questions instead
are:
• How can students, who tend to be
transient and often inexperienced in
decision-making, be best involved
without compromising the good
judgment
and efficiency that
can come from experience and
continuity?
• How can students commit the
time necessary to involvement
without compromising the quality
of other parts of their education?, and
• How can students be represented
at the institutional level while
avoiding the type of student power
elite that tends to develop in
traditional student government
structures?" •
Student governance at Evergreen has
been one of the college's carousel issues-predictably it comes up for discussion
on an arulUal basis, completes its turn on
the carousel, and shuts down late in the
academic year when its constituency .
graduates or disappears for work and
travel over the summer. Since 1971, the
discourse about governance in general,
and student governance in particular,
has been both interesting and very complex. To many, the issue has not been
amenable to resolution. In last year's
orientation issue of the Cooper Point
Journal, then editor Jennifer Seymore
wrote: "It would seem that governance
is, and has been in the past, the major
issue facing the college community, one
that has yet to be resolved in a manner
satisfactory to all concerned." This fall,
Evergreen will launch a provisional student governance system; we make no
claim that it will be satisfactory to all
concerned, but it is a new beginning.
On Novermber 7, 1986, I charged a
Disappearing Task Force ("DTF":
otherwise known as a committee) to

governance.

involved
student

study the issue of student governance
at Evergreen and to make a recommendation about how student participation
and influence in campus decision-making
could involve larger numbers of students
and be more influencial. The charge to
the DTF summarized the status of student govemance as follows:
"In recent years, Evergreen has
seen the attenuation of the ideal of
. community governance in general
and spe(~ific ways, e.g., the disappearance of the Evergreen Council
(a community governance body), and
the emergence of governance structures that serve the needs and interests of particular constituencies
e.g. the Faculty Agenda Committee
and the Staff Union. Tills trend has
resulted in a need to formally
reconsider student governance at
Evergreen as articulated in the
1985-86 Strategic Plan."
On March 20,1987. the DTF issued its
report which reflected enormous
research, careful comprehensive
deliberation, and sought in its recommendations to redress many contemporary and historical student concerns
about governance. In my opinion the
recommendations as a whole could not
be implemented for a wide variety of
reasons ranging from jurisdictional to
fmancial and legal. Instead of going back
to the drawing board, I worked over the
course of a few weeks with some of the
student members from the DTF and
other interested students to come up
with a proposal for a provisional student
governance structure to be initiated in
the fall of 1987. I took the proposal which
follows to President Joseph Olander,
gaining his approval and pledging to
bring to him and the Board of Trustees
a more permanent recommendation by
winter of 1987. The provisional student
governance structure is outlined in the
accompanying chart.
It is my intention to work closely with
the Coordinator for Student Leadership
Programs, who will head up the initiation of the Student Agenda Committee
as we work to make the plan operational.
At the same time I see myself working
closely with the Student Study Group on
Governance to meet our winter quarter

You may be thinking about
choosing one of the newer
carriers over AT&T in order to
save money.
Thinka~n.

Since January 1987, AT&Ts
rates have dropped more than
15% for direct-dialed out-ofstate calls. So they're lower than
you probably realize. For information on specific rates, you
can call us at 1 800 222-0300.
And AT&T offers clear long

assistance, 24-hour customer
service, and immediate credit
for wrong numbers. Plus, you
can use AT&T to call from
anywhere to anywhere, allover
the United States and to over
250 countries.
You might be surprised at
how good a value AT&T really
is. So before you choose a

Transportation:
A word about how to get around in
Olympia, or rather three words: car,
bike, bus. If you have a car, great.
Downtown Olympia is just 15 minutes
away, and there's never any trouble finding parking. If you drive you will be
able to puzzle along with the rest of us
as to why 4th Street is THE ONLY
route between eastside and westside
and why the city never does anything
about this. Rumor has it that the mayor
likes traffic jams. But it's very possible
to get around without a car, too. Intercity Transit runs a bus, the Number 41,
from Evergreen to downtown Olympia
every half hour on weekdays, and the
trip takes about 25 minutes. A monthly
pas costs only $14, or you can pay 35
cents for each ride. Number 41 buses
come equipped with bike racks, so you
can combine the two cheapest modes of
transportation there are (aside from outof-body travel).
There is also the
Evergreen Van, the schedule for which
I do not have, sorry (check in CAB
building), but which runs between
downtown and campus, and has the
wonderful quality of running on Sunday,
when the Intercity Transit giant is
alseep. Only thing about the van is you
have to listen to the driver's favorite
music and be subject to the strange
dynamics of impersonal relations in a
small space. Not for the claustrophobic.

Raise the Minimum Wage
by Jay Ma,z ul'

The minimum wage was hotly debated
when it was first established in 1938.
Each time it was raised in subsequent
years the controversy revived. Now
with a drive in Congress to boost the
minimum for the first time since 1981,
the old debate is likely to be rekindled
once again.
Opponents will argue that to lift the
floor will bring on unemployment and
thus hurt the very people the minimum
is designed to help. They will say that
a raise for these low-wage workers
threatens to "price them out of the
marketplace ...
But a half century of experience with
the minimum wage has shown that this
is just not the case. In 1966, the
Secretary of Labor summarized the experience of more than a generation:
"The record is that following the original
establish ment of the minimum
wage ... employment in the United States
always went up." And, the report noted
that employment "usually went up more
in the lower-paid occupations most
directly affected."
Back in 1977, an editorial in The New
York Times warned that an increase in
the minimum might cost between
200.000 and one million jobs. Quitt! the
reverse happened. Between 1977 and
1978, empioyment rose by more than
foul' million, and the next year the
number employed rose by 2.7 million.
From 1950 to 1968, the minimum wage
was always slightly higher than half the
average hourly wage in the private
sector--an intent of the law whenever
Congress acted. Since then the minimum
has slipped. Right now it is at the lowest
point since 1949, worth only 37 percent
of the average wage.
The minimum wage is no longer a
shield against poverty. In all but three
of the years from 1960 to 1979, a wage
earner working a full year at the
minimum could keep a family of three
above the poverty line. In 1986, the
same wage earner could only earn about
80 percent of what would be necessary
to keep his 01' her family out ofpeverty.
Lifting the floor would bring a
measure of economic justice to a signifio cant portion of the American people.
C\l Many others would also benefit, because
;, the American market would be vitaliz0..

From National Forum
ed by the mcreased earnings of the nations's working poor. Relief rolls would
be lightened smce many of those working at the present minimum are
legitimately reeiving w~lfare payments.
A living wage will also provide an incentive to be productive, Who could
possibly be inspired to make a real ef,
fort for a wage that yields no more than
a welfare payment?,
Also, the history of the last 50 years
suggests it will again be a mistake to
raise the minimum without any provi,
sion for automatic a<ijustments in the
future.
Leaving the minimum wage at its present inadequate and deteriorating level
would increase poeverty, weaken incen,
tives to step up productivity, deny the
neediest a living wage and protection
form exploitation and-most important,
-deprive our economy of a necessary
stimulant to lift us from our present
stagnant state. It's time to raise it.

KAOS makes Waves
KAOS, Evergreen's public supported
FM radio station (89.3) if off to a busy
year. They will be sponsoring five nights
of live music ~ coming months including
flutist Paul Horn, the Scott Cossu
Quintet and Golden Bough. Tickets for
these events are available in the
Evergreen Bookstore, Rainy Day
Record and others. Reservations:
866-6833
The year is set with a range of programing. Mondays will feature Celtic
and American Traditional music midday.
B.C. Shelby's Cofl:ee Cantata is on from
6:00 am to 10:00 am Tuesday. Classical
injected withjazz. Rock and Rhythm is
evening fare Monday thru Friday while
documentaries, interviews and assorted
tunes make waves Monday, Wednesday
and Friday in the hours after noon. But,
attempting to describe the sound of
KAOS in words is hopeless. Pick up a
program schedule at the studio on the
3rd floor of the CAB. Last word was
that they still needed a Women's music
and information producer and a Monday
Classical producer. You can have a train,
ing session at KAOS simply by making
an appointment with Dan at 866,6822.
Who knows, you may be the next
Wolfman! Trace Dreyer invites anyone
to attend training and critique sessions
which occur weekly, a sort of seminar
for DJs. There will also be a course in
Community Broadcasting starting Oc,
tober 7. Call Dan again for this one, or
Michael at the previously mentioned
number, or extension 6530. KAOS takes
to the air with a fresh and unique
perspective every hour of the day. You
can be a part of it, or just sit back and
listen.

GET WRECKED but Keep Studying
by Carey MeadO"r and Jan Lambertz

Recreational Sports programs offer
fun and friendly fitness and play when
students want a little diversion from the
rigors of studying. A bunch of activities
we hope will appeal to anyone from the
lowest key to hardest core are
available:

.Informal Sports are casual comeand-go·as-you-please activities like noon
volleyball, boomerang, African dance,
ultimate frisbee, and wallyball.
New this year, we've added a "Skillsand-Drills" time to the beginning of each
session so beginners and others have a
chance to learn and practice new skills
in a relaxing and supportive
atmosphere.

.campus Leagues like basketball
and soccer are somewhat organized, but
only compete on-campus against other
Greener teams and are fairly laid back.
.sports Clubs like crew rowing, and
cross-country running and track & field
have professional Rec. Center staff
coaches, while other clubs of volleyball,
ultimate frisbee, running, tennis, sailing,
spring and indoor soccer, and softball,
are student-run. While these clubs are
usually fairly competitive with other offcampus and college teams, beginners are
always welcome and encouraged.
.special Events like Twister tournaments, GET WRECKED, hide·andgo-seek, Super Hoops, swim-n-sauna
parties, and boomerang tournaments
give students a chance to unwind and
get a little crazy in-between long hours
of studying.

Center and grab a Rec. Center schedule

Seattle, WA

I'd like to make
friends and be creative
here. I'd like to figure
out wluit I'd like to do
after college here. I'd like
to experiment with
things I haven't tried
before.

I'm hoping to be
challenged more than I
have been at Columbia
Basin College and
Eastern Washington
University ... People
around me thought it
(Evergreen) was too
liberal, but I eventually
made my own decision.

I hope I'll be able to
know my own professor.
At my last school
(Eastern Oregon college), I didn't get the
chance to know my own
teachers. I hope it will be
different here.
