hi National Asian/Pacific Isle Heritage
Week; the theme of the week is Family
Legacy: Survival in t he '80's.
In celebrating t he suppor t and enrichment that t he ir fa milies have offer ed
t hem, t he AsianJPacific Isle Coalition
has offer ed us all a challenging model.
As you join t he Asian Americans in exploring t heir heritage, remember your
0 \~11 ancestol's and t he legacy t hey have
left for you.
Now, another topic completely. We've
bee n kind of short on submissions. That
means that we've been accepting stories
way past the deadline in order to fill the
paper. Not knowing what's going in until Tuesday or so is very, very nerve
wracking.
To combat this , we are changing t he
story deadline to Monday at .noon. We
will continue to accept lett ers until Monday at 5 and calendar announcements
until Tuesday at 5.
I will no longer accept a~y pieces past
noon on Monday unless · t he re is a
p henomenal reason to. T hat's not
be('ause I'm an unreasonably mean person, but because t he staff her e is coming unglued. We need time t o edit and
typeset the stories befor e production on
Wednesday.
At our staff meeting t his F rictay, at

don't test
To Mike Winsor and the Evergreen
Community:
Thanks, Mike, for your recent letter
advocating testing for the AIDS antibody. It was refreshing to see that people are actually thinking about the test;
however, in your letter you forgot to include some important aspects of the
politics of AIDS testing.
First of all, it is very true that various
clinics in the Puget Sound area and
throughout the country are currently
unequipped to deal with the tremendous
demands put on them by persons who
have requested the test. The United
States government, after naming AIDS
the health threat of the century, has
refused to provide adequate funds which
would provide the test to people who
want to take it.
Evergreen Health Ser.rices, while adVOl!ating education as the main prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, is
offering an "Intimacy and Sexuality"
workshop to students for a $20.00 fee,
which, in reality, is no offer at all, considering that most students can barely
afford to pay their rent, not to mention
something as negligible as a safe se x
seminar.
News concerning AIDS is broadcast
daily on national teleVIsion, forcing more
and more of the general population into
a panic while providing very little accurate information. It's time, in my opinion, for the government and other
organizations to start putting their
money where their mouths are and start
getting things done.
Let's say someone takes the
AIDS test and the results are positive.
Healthwise, this doesn't mean a heck of
a lot because testing positive to the antibody does not mean you will contract
the AIDS virus, testing services
(especially blood donor stations) have
been known to make mistakes, and there
isn't much one can do in the area of personal health care after the fact is known.
Emotionally, economically, and politically, however, a positive test result can be
devastating. Being told you tested
positive is similar to being told you have
a terminal disease, like cancer: you don't
know for certain, but there's a good
chance you will die. How many people
do you lQlow who are strong enough to
deal with this kind of information on
their own? Some counseling services do
exist; however, they also suffer from a
lack of funds and are having trouble
dealing with the current demand for
their services.
Economically, if you test positive you
2
~
i
will probably lose everything. You may
lose your job. You may be deemed uninsurable. You may be evicted from your
home. At the same time, you may be faced with exorbitant medical costs.
Politically, if you test positive, you will
no longer have any power whatsoever.
In every state, at every legislative session, some bozo proposes a law which
would have AIDS victims and those who
test positive quarantined. Fortunately,
as of today, all of these laws have been
either thrown out or defeated. But, with
the CUJTent flourishing of the New Right
(remember, Pat Robertson may cinch
the Republican presidency nomination),
there is a possibility that, someday, su,ch
legislation could be put into effect. If ybu
test positive to the AIDS test, you will
now be refused admittance to Britain,
and it's possible that other countries will
follow their example.
What it comes down to is this: testing
positive is nearly as crippling as having
AIDS itself.
Mike, at the end of your letter, you say
that taking the AIDS antibody test .....is
simply an acknowledgement of your
responsibility to the community." I, personally, feel no responsibility to a community which treats AIDS victims and
those who test positive 88 inhmnan noncitizens. Until this changes, I advise all
people to be very, very careful while
deciding whether or not to volunteer for
the test. It is, perhaps, the most impor~<lnt choice you may make during your
lifetime.
Sincerely,
Jeffery Kennedy

triage
CPj:
It's good to see that the awareness
that AIDS is everyone's problem is
growing. Mike Winsor's open letter to
the community on AIDS in the last CPj,
however, contains some misdirected and
counterproductive advice. Mike seems
to have good intentions, but he missed
the boat.
Mike is right in advising people to
donate blood, but using donation as a
means of being tested for the AIDS antibody is an abuse of these organizations.
I called the Department of Health Services and the Puget Sound Blood
Center, as well as the AIDS Hotline, and
none of them recommended that people
donate as a means of testing for AIDS.
When blood donations are taken, the
donor is asked to answer a questionaire
which would detennine whether or not
they fall into a high-risk catagory. These
are I.V. drug-users and men who engage
in homosexual activities. In order for a
person in such a catagory to donate-test,
shelhe would have to lie.
Most importantly, the Surgeon
General's report on AIDS points out ,
. that a person may be infected ' weeks
before donation without yet
having produced antibodies. Such an
infected unit would pass the Elisa
screening, which only detects any problems in the auto-immune system and is
not AIDS specific. The donor would not
be notified and the unit may go on to infect someone else. Both the Dept. of
Health Services and the AIDS Hotline
emphasize the importance of counseling
those who test positive, not only on the
Elisa screen, but also on the Western
Blot, the AIDS specific test which
follows the preliminary Elisa. The Elisa
is the only test that blood donation
groups are equipped to do, and they are
cet:tainly not equipped to counsel.
The functions of these organizations
are to distribute safe units of blood to
recipients, not to screen hundreds of
people with only half of an AIDS test.
This is not to say that the current blood
supply is unsafe; Elisa testing changed
that, even before Elisa Gay organizations across the country urged the gay
community NOT to donate. Unfortunately, many people have believed
'(and some still do) that donating blood
was a sure way to get AIDS. This makes
as much sense as getting a sexually
transmitted disease by using a public
urinal, because all needles, etc. are
replaced with each donation. As a consequence, blood banks nation-wide have
experienced dangerously low supplies
for some time, so Mike is right in advising people to donate blood.
But let's talk "triage". The AIDS
testing available through the Dept. of
Health Serviees is a limited resource and
my personal opinion is that individuals
not in high-risk catagories should abstain
from testing so that those who truly
need to have access do, However, the
Dept. of Health Services urges anyone
who feels the need to be tested to do so.
Emergency cases may be given
precedence. In regards to blooddonating organizations and groups, the
concept of "triage" should also be
remembered.
There are many more productive ways
of being socially responsible in regards
to the AIDS epidemic. A simple way to
protect both yourself and your partner
is with a condom and to practice "Safe
Sex". The key is to, act as if you and
others have already been exposed. I say
this not to promote panic or celibacy; it
just seems to be more logical to assure
safety rather than rely on a limited test.
Just as ~mportant as these steps of individual protection is the need for people in any community to battle
discriminations against the socioeconomic groups which constitute the
current majority of AIDS victims. Only
now that the disease has branched into
the wider community has the general
public become concerned, although
thousands of gays have already died; the
delay of research funds and attention by
the present administration has directly
led to deaths (see /gnaring the Epidemic
Health PAC Bulletin, Dec. '86, v.17
*2.).
Mike is correct that the test alone is
not an admission of guilt; however, a
positive test is worse than that. Hundreds of gay people have been denied
housing, lost their jobs, and dropped or
been unable to buy health insurance.
People who are at risk should not avoid
being tested. Hiding is not the answer
to discrimination; only challenging such
3
injustices will help. AIDS does deserve
this community's attention, but only
carefully thought-out acts of ' social
responsibility will truly help.
Questions or concerns? The AIDS
Hotline in Wash. (1-800-272-2437), and
the Thurston Health Dept. (786-5582),
have said they will be happy to answer
questions. Closer to home there's Wen
Shaw of the Women's Clinic on campus,
and information on AIDS, health, Lesbians and Gays can be explored at the
Lesbian/Gay Resource Center.
Mayall of us have a healthy, bright
future,
Jeff Bagshaw

To the editor,
I would like to take this opportunity
to honor the members of the Evergreen
Indian Center for their hard work in producing Indian 'Heritage Week and the
First Annual Tribute to Salish People.
Many hours were spent contacting people to come and speak to the wembers
of the Evergreen community. Unfortunately, the events were sparsely attended by the students of the campus.
Of course, those who did attend will
be culturally enhanced by the words of
people such as Harold Belmont from the
Suquamish Nation, Salish story tellel' Vi
Hilbert, folk guitarist Will Knapp of the
Omaha Nation, and the other guests that
were here throughout this past week.
These events were not only for the
benefit of Indian people, but also for
those people who need a bit of cultural
diversity in their lives. It sure beats sitting around watching Miami Vice.
Again, thanks to those hard working
people at the Evergreen Indian Center.
ments regarding S&A fees.
First of all, he is correct in saying that
it is the S&A Board which has mandated
charging for events. I think it is interesting to note that he was once a past
S&A Board coordinator and as such advocated for student groups to generate
revenue! I don't know of any S&A funded organization which produces events
that want to charge students to attend.
Historically, the First Peoples student
organizations (with which I have direct
contact and can speak of) have felt that
their events or activities should be provided as a community service. However,
it was the S&A Board'8 feeling that this
was not cost efficient, and organizations
were reyiewed during Spring allocation
as to whether or not they met their
estimated revenue goal. If students
don't want to pay twice, as Mr. Barnes
puts it, then I agree; let your voice be
heard at the S&A Board meetirig, not
with
the
individual
student
organizations.
His second point about committing
future monies from increased student
enrollment for other things, one being
cultural diversity, is great! However,
does he realiZe that it is the currently
funded S&A organizations which provide the majority of the culturally
diverse events and activities on campus?
Without the student organizations providing such events there have been very
few speakers who have come to campus,
and when they do, it is to an individual
program, not open to the campus at
large.
His third point comparing Evergreen
to the U.W. is ridiculous. We are not the
U. W. and I hope we never want to
model ourselves after them! There are
several good reasons why they don't
have paid coordinators for student
organizations, one of them being money
spent on athletics, which I feel is not as
important as the services provided by
the student organiza~ions. I emphasize
services because they do more than just
provide activities. If we look at the
U.W.; we see that they have an Educational Opportunities Office and a large
"Minority" Affairs Office with professional paid staff for each major "minority" ethnic group. Evergreen has one
part-time position and that is it. My
point is, Evergreen cannot begin to provide the comprehensive services that
the U.W. doee. That is why student
organizations at Evergreen must provide services as well as activities, and
who knows better what students' needs
are than students? I think this learning
model offers students an opportunity to
put theory into practice.
Let's speak to Mr. Barnes' last point
regarding monetary compensation of
student coordinators. Given the high
volume of work required on top of a full
academic load, it would be impossible to
attract someone to the job if it were
volunteer. As it is now, student coordinators are among the lowest paid of
all the student institutional positions on
campus! Even the current S&A Board
has recognized this and mandated an increase in the minimum starting wage for
coordinators. They have also recognized the lack of commitment from
volunteers and have proposed to have
paid positions for themselves next vear!
Let's speak a bit about the work·load.
The student coordinators which I supervise are required to make a commitment
to attend pre-fall training and work as
student hosts for orientation week, for
which they are not paid. They must commit to work 10-15 hours per week on
top of attending weekly in service training workshopS, community/staff
meetings, constituency meetings, S&A
coordinator meetings, and of course,
classes! Now, you tell me when they
have time to sit in their office and study.
If you or anyone else would assist with
one of their activities or even read their
quarterly reports, your opinion would
not be so misinformed.

Peoples Coalition

, The photo that accompanied the opinion piece on governance last issue panned a "slam" Joe message. While I find

Williams College in October to run
workshops and hold discussions at colleges throughout the U_S. Evergreen's
acceptance of student-initiated group

especially fertile ground for the Pro-ject's ideas.
The Project's foundations lie in the
trio's initiation of a program at Williams
College on nonviolent theory and practice. The course, begun in 1984, has been
"enormously successful,"according to
Kurt Tauber, chaiiperson of Williams'
Political Science Department. Increased enrollment expanded the course to
three sections last year; advanced
courses have been added. Their role in
this program established their ideas'
credibility; subsequently they were
granted Gaudino Internships (named for
a maverick political science professor at
Williams) for 1986-7.

Earth Fair to sing of the joy cd life
Once upon a place there was a time
when people would gather to celebrate
the return of the sun and the flowers.
It was a time for revelling in the joy of
being alive, a time to mark the coming
of new growth, of infants of. every
species, and a time to release the spirit
that lay dormant and reserved durinp'
the colder months of long nights and
short days.
The firs, salal, cedars and ferns stretched their limbs as they awoke, shimmering green in the newly arrived light.
The people in this time were glad. From
the inside out they could feel a rush of
wings giving flight to their imaginations.
This happened after every cold season.
It was experienced in all directions and
in all 'dimensions.
After many generations, there came
a time when the people would not pay
attention to this recurring dream. They
were too busy with their daily work so
that they could get time off to play,
usu~ly in ' the hot season of long days
and short nights. Sometimes they would
take an afternoon to enjoy the wonders
of the new flowers and babies, but they
didn't all g"dther together to breathe in
the fresh air of warm rain on a wooded
path.
Since they dirln't come together often,
, they began to forget the songs and the
dances that their ancestors knew. They
didn't learn how to respect the spirits
of the waters and plants and animals.
They didn't know how to welcome the
return of new life that Mother Earth and
Father Sky brought to them.
A few people remembered and carried
on the tradition, so the great spirits
knew there was hope.
Not too long ago, these few people, the
rememberers, shared some of the ancient traditions with their friends. Many
of them were excited about celebrating
this time of rejuvenation, even though
some of the people who forgot the most
tried to stop them. Nonetheless, the
rememberers were able to make a
special day to honor the Earth, Sky, and
all the spirits of life. They called this
special occasion Earth Day. Thousands
gathered together to celebrate the life
of the Earth and the return of light and
new growth.
That was in 1970, on April 22. In Olympia, the area of the southern terminus
of the Vashon glacier and an ancient
g'dthering ground of many tribes, a small
group has decided to help carryon this
tradition_ They are students of life,
learners of the ways of the land, and in

place of resonance is the Environmental Resource Center, where life-work is
the calling.
The ERC has invited many musicians,
artists, orators and learned folk to share
their gifts with the community. They
have asked the spirits of light and of life
to join them at their gathering called
Earth Fair. The theme of this two-day
celbration is "Celebrate Life!"
The resonators, planners of the event,
have many reasons for putting their
energy into this celebration. One
resonator, Jacinta McCoy, shared with
me why she is part of the group:
"Because I have a deep love for people
and enjoy seeing them celebrate the life
of Gaia, the living Earth." .
Another planner and resonator,
Howard Scott, said that it is important

pow
Trident: an "inherent evil"
WOW
Walking around Evergreen last Saturda~, you hear
the repetitious beat of drums commg from
somewhere on campus. Your curiosity aroused, you
decide to venture out to fmd these drummers. As you
get closer to the soccer field, yo~ ~ealize th~t t~e
sounds are coming from the paVlllIon. Walking m
from the warm spring day you notice three groups
of drummers. While two of the groups relax, the
third drum group is busy singing a "T?und dance"
song. A large group ofpeopl~, ?oth .In~an and Non·
Indian, dance around the paVlllion CIrcling the drum·
mers. You ask one of the arts and crafts vendors
what is happening, and she explains that they are
having a Pow Wow.
. .
What exactly is a Pow Wow? Ongmally, a P?W
Wow was an event to honor people after a war WIth
neighboring enemies. Today, Indian people of all na·
tions gather to celebrate together and to visit with
friends that they might only see at other Pow Wows.
Men, women and children are dressed and r~ady to
dance on through the evening. Other dances mclude
"intertribal," the "two-step," and the "owl dance,"
meant for that special someone. Tables are usually
set up for arts and crafts people selling their wares
and also for food vendors.
During the celebration this past Saturday, a pro·
ud mother of two Evergreen students presented gifts
to honor the people who have helped her son and
daughter with their education. This is an event that
the Evergreen Indian Center has sponsored annually
for the past six years. So if you missed ~he Pow Wow
this year, just listen for the drumrrung from the
pavillion next spring.O

The USS Nevada will arrive in Puget
Sound in early May. ~t is the last of the
Trident submarines to be homeported in
the Hood Canal. Perhaps it will be
greeted at the dock with cheers and
speeches by U.S. Navy personnel.
Some citizens, probably several hun·
dred, wilJ meet the Trident in the arms
of an arresting officer, because they do
not wish to cooperate with the making
of another holocaust. A precious few will
reflect upon the event from a jail cell.
Judicial decisions and treaties that came
out of the Nazi war crimes trials at
Nuremberg obligate citizens to refuse to
cooperate with their government in
crimes against humanity. On May 5, at
Bangor, Washington and in Nevada,
citizens will be challenging government
authority in Nuremberg Actions.
While I used to feel that it ' was
primarily applications that rendered a
technology positive or negative, I
believe that Trident is inherently evil.
One submarine has 15()() timetl the
destructive capacity of the HiroNhima
bomb. With the new Trident-II miAAileN
Hcheduled to be deployed in 1989. each
Hubmarine will carry 7000 timl's the .
cleHtructive capacity of Hirotlhima.
"In a world, in a nation of hungry.
home leNs. ill-clad, uneducated and
ml!(lically uncared-for people, we Npend
$1.5 billion on a Hingle Trident," Bitlhup
Michael Kenny of Juneau, AlaslUl Mid.

hatred for our enemieN, we leave a

we rest our Hecurity not on God but on
our own power to detltroy."
I remember the fll'tlt ' Trident. the
U.S.S. Ohio. It entered Puget Sound in
AuguHt of 1982, around Hirotlhima Day.
Proceeding it were Coast Guarq
helicopters and more than 90 Coast
Guard veNNeltl of all shapes and sizes.
called out from Alaska, California,
Oregon and Washington -- if you had
trouble in the Pacific, you were out of
luck that day. It was puzzling. Why
should the most deadly weapon in the
history of the planet, a submarine that
could travel by itself from Connect.icut
to the straits of Juan de Fuca, require
such an armada?
Perhaps to protect the submarine
from morality. The armada descended
upon a flotilla of protesters with water
cannons and 50 caliber machine guns,
lest anything human come in the way of
the submarine and its ground zero.
Many of the protesters were in 8 ft.
rowboats held together by nails and
glue, The violence of the government's
response crushed a popular r'evolt in Jefferson County. But it has been resUl'. rected on an even larger scale by Navy
plans to store nuclear weapons on Inciian
Ialand across the bay from Port
rownsend.
I remember an Australian famil~' that
1ad the sort of morality anci commitment

P(/cd'ic

ty understanding America's passivity.
Their radicalism demanded that whell
evel',Ything precious is at risk, one must
r·i."k everything precious.
AURtr.llia's popularly elp-cted Labor
government was thrown out in the
mid-1970s by a CIA-directed political intrigue because of the party's antinuclear
stance. There are six Trident satellite
navigational stations in Australia that
allow the submarines to deliver their
payload from a distance of 4000 miles to
within 300 feet of their target, Soviet
missile silos.
Australia's antinuclear movement was
catalyzed when the news leaked out that
in one year, the Trident bases in
Australia had gone to red alert, the
abyss of nuclear war, and never informed anyone in the Au stra lian
10
govel11ment.
Two communities, Ground Zero and
Puget Sound Agape, grew up on the
flanks of Trident to confront the
"Auschwitz of Puget Sound" through
nonviolent action. Those communities
grew out of one man's commitment.
Robert Aldridge worked 16 years for
Lockheed as a designer of submarinelaunched missiles. He helped design
three generations of Polaris missiles, the
multiple individually-targeted reentry
vehicles for Poseidon, and in 1970 was
assigned concept definition responsibility for Trident 's Mark-5oo maneuvering
warhead. In that capacity he first saw
the shift to a first strike policy, the will
to destroy Soviet missiles in their silos.
He r esigned his job in protest.
A meeting with Jim Douglass, formerly a pr'ofessor of Gandhian nonviolence
at Notre Dame, led to the founding of
t he Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent
Adioll on property adjoining the Bangor
Base. The Douglass family took up
residence beside the railroad tracks and
the Navy gate that have already born
the passage of enough hydrogen bombs
to destr'oy the world.
This quote summarizes Jim Douglass'
~tance: "The nuclear' arms race summarizes the history of a false, violent self
-- of many such false selves magnified in
national egos -- in an inconceivable evil.
What the nuclear crises says to us, as
nothing else in history could, is that the
empowering of a false self creates a
crisis which has no solution, only
transformation. We can't solve an arms
raee based on enormous national illu,;it,ns, illusions which both exploit and
jJrotect an emptiness at the center of
'nillions of lives. Those illusions can oni: be cracked open to the truth and fear'
ann emptiness at the core of each nat i. ':al pride, then revealed as truly
rec"m.-ij;,hl,. with their apparent opposit,,:, i. , he consciousness of another
people.'
Nonviolent action buys time for our
lives. We must honor those who hang
their lives in the balance on the slender
thread of our common survival. Please
join us on Tuesday, May 5 at Ground
Zero for vigil and to believe in the fu ture
of our own lives. Call EPIC, 866-6000

I am the second of three daughters;
my mother is first generation KoreanAmerican (an American for about 18
years now) and my father is a EuropeanAmerican. It was during my father's
military service in Seoul, Korea, that
parents first met. For 16 of my 20 years,
I served active duty as a military brat.
During most of those years, it didn't
bother me much when people asked
what my nationality was. It really began
to bO.ther me when I mov~d to Olympia
in my junior year of high school and
entered a predominantly Caucasian
civilian school. When people asked me
about my nationality, I simply replied,
"American" .
Then came the question that really got
to mE:: "No, really, what are you?" If
they don't ask me about nationality, it's
if they assume I'm part Japanese,
Chinese, or Pilipina. It's rare for people
to ask if I'm part Korean. It's not their
curiosity about my ethnic roots that
bothers me; it's the words that are u~
ed and the assumptions that are made.
I try to respond in an informative way.
Still, there are times when I get defensive and offended.
Many people have stereotypical images of me; I try to remember that it's
not alwaYII their fault. The most popular
one ill that I have a Black Belt in one 01'

or (Ion't i8 no one's bUlline&; t'ither way.

pointed in a different direction than that ·
of non-Asian women. Give me a break!
"Well, uh, I'm only half Asian, so mine's
kind of diagonal." I'd like to know who
started that one.
A former co-worker once told me that
8he didn't trust Koreans. Of course I'm
okay, because I'm only half Korean: I'm
only half as sly.
.
My mixed blood often confuses people.
Some see me as "more Caucasian
(American)" or "more Korean." For
others, I'm neither "Caucasian enough"
nor "Korean enough." I am American,
obviously. My nationality and citizenshlp
are of the U.S.A. Physically, I am both
Korean and European.
Having a Korean mother and a Caucasian father, it's not difficult to be in-

APIC ·educates Evergreen community
The AsianlPacific Isle Coalition was
created primarily to serve the needs of
students, especially students with
Asian/Pacific backgrounds. The Coalition tries to meet these needs by providing personal and academic assistance
through advising, counseling and referrals. The Coalition also provides tools
that foster self-i!xploration, such as a
lihrary which is culturally based; a social
SUppO l· t system, and in-service
workshops dealing with cultural issues.
APIC also sponsors social and cultural
events such as weekly potlucks or
meetings. and fun small gatherir,g~ and
outings to cultural events. APIC produces these events and services as a
means of providing a social support
system for AsianlPacific Isle students.
Another function of the AsianlPacific
Isle Coalition is to promote cultural
literacy and diversity. They sponsor
cultural events such as Indigenous
Peoples' Day, Tribute to Japan and the
current Asian/Pacific American
Heritage week. APIC, along with other
First Peoples' organizations, -- the Indian Center, Women of Color, .Umoja,
Mecha, and Peer Support -- is committed to promoting cultural diversity by
meanM of educational and social event.~.
The Coalition is a wonderful environment in which to learn not only about
one's own culture, but about other
cultures as well. It has definitely helped
me realize the importance of my
heritage.
APIC invi~severyone to become part
of the wonderful experience of comradeship and culture . We;.are open to
anyone who is willing to learn about our
cultures. This is one of the reasons API C
is here: to serve the Evergreen
community. 0

Deems is back
Seattle pianist and jazz muslcum
DeemS Tsutakawa will be coming to
town this weekend. Deems' style of
music has become well known to jazz
fans across the nation, as well as
Canada, Europe and Japan. He adds ten
years of classical music training to his
foundation of American music: soul, _
rhythm and blues, jazz and pop. He has
performed\in concert with jazz greats
Joe William\;, Julienne Priester and Roy
Ayers.
The young Japanese-American musician was boryl and raised in Seattle.
Don't let Deem's Asian background lelld
you to believe that he will play the music
of his heritage; his style is more progressive. He calls it "contemporary
soul-jazz." "My roots are here," he Bays,
"my life has been a totally AsianAmerican experience."
Deems, along with saxophone player
Dean MOchizuki, a fellow J-Town artist,
will be appearing with Seattle funk and
fusion band Common Cause together in
a dance/concert as the culmination of the
Asian/Pacific Isle Heritage Week
Celebration. The event will take place
. Friday, May I, 1987 in Lib 4300 between
9 and 1 a.m. Admission is $2 at the door.
Beverages will be available. For more
information, please call the Asian!Pacific
Isle Coalition at ext. 6033.
Common Cause is a popular Seattle
ensemble whose members originate
from as far away as Japan and Hawaii.
They will be making their fourth consecutive
Asian
Pacific
Isle
Heritage Week appearance. Common
Cause offers a musical menu that
features soul, funk, and jazz fusion
blended With Latin, rock and even
Polynesian rytiuns. The band's sound is
rich and undeniably danceable. It is
highlighted by the soulful voice of Myra
Barnett, who has been called the Nor-

thwest's newest rising star. Common
Cause will take the stage immediately

received the artists with loud enthusiasm. The last time I saw Deems

Family Legacy:
Survival in the '80's
America, t he land of freedom and op'
portunity. America, land of t he free.
home of the proud. This \\'as how I felt
when my family fl ed our nati\'e countr\"
of Vietnam in 1975. I was j ust an eight,
year·old ,kid t hen,. wit h gleaming eye~
and a carefree mind.
I remember learning in grade school
abo ut the Pilgrims coming to America
to escape religio us oppression and to
sta rt a new life. I wa::; fascinated when
I read abo ut ('a l'iy immigTants c()m in~
to Am~ri ca in search of freedom and op'
jJortulllty. I leal'lled of the ~tru~~les
t hey went through settling in a new
land. Some were more fortunate than
others. .
As I grow older, I have come to realize
that my family went through'the same
kind of struggles as the earlier imr~i~an ts had. Our stories are very
SImIlar to those of immigrants of the
16th, 17t h, 18th, 19th, 'and early 20th
centuries, which are told in the history
books. The more educated I become, the
m o~e I think about America and my
famIly. The more I think about America
and my family, the more concern I feel
fol' myself as an Asian American.
My family went through the same
struggles as most other immigrants. We
cam e here with nothing except
ourselves. My parents worked hard to
start a new life. They want the best for
their children. We had our share of fort une and misfortune, but we were bound
together by love and support. We also
held strongly to our culture and our
values. This has been the key to our survival in America.
My parents constantiy r:eminded me of
the importance of education in this socie-
ty. "America," they would say, "is full
of opporturuties. But you will have to
work hard to make it in this society. The
key to success is through education."
As a consequence, I am always encouraged to excel in school and go into
a scientific field. I am encouraged to
become "successful" and make a lot of
money.
I have begun to see the way America
works. I see the patterns and examples
of earlier immigrants. Living in a
materialistic society, of course, I want
to make a lot of money. I want to "make
it" in this society. Isn't that the
American way of life? I dream of living
in a million·dollar mansion. I dream of
marrying a beautiful American and raising my children to be all·American boys
and girls. But sometimes, in the midst
of those dreams, I have to stop and ask
myself the following questions. When I
become a doctor and "make it" in this
society, will I go back to my people in '
the community and help those who are
less fortunate? If Iget married to someone of a different background, will I
be able to maintain or pass my culture
and values to my children? Will I, after
raising a family, put my beloved parents
into nursing homes and move a thousand
miles across the country away from
them? These are the questions I
sometimes think about as a fIrst generation Vietnamese American living in
1987.
At a very early age I have learned to
be an American. At the same time, coming from a very traditional Vietnamese
culture, I am also a Vietnamese. I like
the upward mobility I have as an
American. I appreciate the vast career
opportunities I have for my future . But
at the same time, I hold on dearly to my
family, culture, and values. For without
my parents, family, and community, I
don't know where I would be right now.
They have been the "wind beneath my
wings." Someday, this little bird will fly
back to its nest and make its parents and
community proud. 0
