Groundbreaking for
permanent UWT campus
crowd gathers to witness historic event

T h e time had finally come
for the g r o u n d b r e a k i n g for T h e
U n i v e r s i t y of W a s h i n g t o n ,
Tacoma branch c a m p u s . Saturday m o r n i n g . May 1 3 , turned
out to be a windy but sunny
day, no rain, t h a n k heavens. A
crowd of great a n d g r e a t e r
people of Tacoma and W a s h ington state descended on 19th
and C o m m e r c e Street to witness and celebrate the beginning of a long needed and
awaited project for the city of
Tacoma.
University of W a s h i n g t o n
President
William
P.
G e r b e r d i n g , along with many
state representatives, senators,
and congressmen, spoke o f t h e
need for the branch campuses
here and in Bothell. Senator
Marc Gaspard remarked about
the need and use of the new
c a m p u s , dedicating it to not
only the workplace of the future, but to the builders of our
future. President G e r b e r d i n g
said. This is an u r b a n campus, this is what Tacoma needs,
and this is what the University
of W a s h i n g t o n needs.
In the past, the founders of
the University of W a s h i n g t o n
located the main campus in Seattle because they believed that
the campus would be outside of
the major u r b a n center of the
Puget S o u n d , Tacoma. Now,
there is a need from the people
to have an urban campus so
those who do not have the ability to relocate to the main campuses of the state universities
can still attend u p p e r division
classes nearer to their h o m e s .
T h e g r o u n d b r e a k i n g ceremony was an interesting and
entertaining event to attend and
with which to be i n v o l v e d .
W h e n this project is completed,
the community as a whole, in-
cluding all of the Puget Sound
region, together with the Northwest, will benefit from having
more places for people to attain
higher education.
I would like to t h a n k all of

The Black Student Union put
on a wonderful banquet on Saturday, June 3. Fewer people attended
than what the organizers planned,
but the event went off without any
problems. They had the group
Suede, which played many good
songs.
The event was started off with
the BSU national anthem. Awards
and recognition were given to many
people who have worked for and
with the BSU. Dr. Mike Honey,
Lisa Rankin and many prominent
black Americans got up and spe)ke
about what they have done, what
they are doing and what they
wanted to see done in the future.
The keynote speaker told us
about the Rainier School in King

Calling all interns! I am
setting up The Independent's
staff for next year. I have several internship positions available. Independent study contracts designed by students
and Dr. Beth Kalikoff, the
newspaper advisor are also a
possibility for next year.
I have designed internship
agreements for: copy editor,
a d v e r t i s i n g / b u s i n e s s manager, advertising salesperson,
writers/reporters and photographers. All of these positions
are currently available. You
may take these positions for
credit, if you do not want to,
or you may choose to take
them as a non-credit extracurricular activity. Volunteers are
always very welcome. If you
decide that you may want to
fulfill one of these positions
for credit, study agreements
ranging from one to five credits can be arranged. For the
p o s i t i o n s of copy e d i t o r ,
writer/reporter and photographer, the basic requirements
are:
1. P r o d u c e 20 c o l u m n
inches of writing per credit,
about two typed pages per issue for one quarter.
2. Help with the layout of the
newspaper, usually on the weekend before it is to be distributed.
3. Work with the staff and

help make our student newspaper an award winning publication.
For the position of advert i s i n g / business manager and
advertising salesperson the
basic requirements are:
1. Acquire a minimum of
one-half of one page of advertising per issue for a quarter
for each credit earned.
2. Keep all advertising accounts in good standing.
3. Work with managing editor for layout of ads.
All of these agreements will
be adjusted on an individual
basis, based on what needs to
be accomplished, and what we
really have the ability to do. I
am only human and I do not
expect anyone else to be superhuman. Life happens and
if we all understand this and
take it in our stride, we can
have a great time working together.
A n o t h e r project t h a t I
would like people to help me
with is the Editorial Review
Board and the creation of a
publication guide for The Independent. All types of writing and ideas for columns are
welcome. I would like to have
a nursing student or group
take over Sandra Lazaroffs
column, enabling the Health
Corner column to remain in
existence. I would also like to
see columns from the business and teacher certification
students. I am willing to work
to help form these columns,
and I would be very grateful
for support from students.

A final letterfi:*©!!!the
1994-95 Vice President
of Infomiation smd
Govemance
The school year has ended and many of us have graduated (try not
to feel too lost, just toast the rest of your life). Ifyou have graduated, I
hope you used your time here to it's fullest extent. For instance, joining
the Alumni Association after you graduate is a good way to help the
school develop and to show your concern.
Remember to use the resources in the career office. There is
information on employment assessment, specific companies, and graduate schools. I hope you made it to the career fair that Judy Colburn has
been working so very hard on this year. Ifyou did, please send her a note
with your comments.
This past year we have seen the formation of a committee that will
allow students and alumni to work on student services for the permanent
campus site, and the eventual development ofa student center or H U B
to replace the Commons we will lose. Dean Richardson has been a
promoter ofthis committee. People interested in joining this committee
should contact Andrea Hardaman or Mark Craypo on the A S U W T
Board for 1995-96. The telephone number is 5524428.
I would like to express my gratitude to the Independent for allowing
me to publish a monthly letter. Also, it has been good to watch our
student paper develop this year under Mark Craypo's management
skills. Good job Mark!
One of our board members, Sherry Sloan, is home in bed until her
baby is born in July. The A S U W T sends their best wishes and their
prayers.
1 hope that many of you made it out to the picnic at Point Defiance
on June 1 Oth. Take care over the summer, we will see many ofyou next
year.
Yours,

Greetings from the newly elected Vice President of Information
and Governance. T h a n k you all for electing me. I will do my best to
make the A S U W T an organization on which you can count and rely.
Please feel free to come in and see me anytime; you can also e-mail me
if you have a question or issue that you believe needs attention.
I would like to see the A S U W T become more visible to the student
body and community.
I would like to make the information and
resources available so all students can be involved in the design and
construction of the new campus' student center and its services. I
want to see the students of U W T have accessible open lines of
communication between the A S U W T and the university administration. I am also interested in interacting with the students in person
or over any other medium to promote communication (e.g.:. e-mail,
phone and letters). I want to use and create systems to make the
communication between the students, A S U W T and the university
simpler and easier.
For example, I would like to coordinate with a parking company
for the utilization ofa parking garage near or on the new campus. W e
need to address the issues of transportation, parking and ridesharing
now, so that we can avoid as many problems as possible in the future.
T h a n k you again, see you next year!

Phil Spano and company went to Cuba
agalnstthe will ofthe U.S. Government
to give humanitarian assistance.

Brent Cupp
Special to the Independent
Would you feel safer in Havana than you
do in Tacoma? UWT student, Phil Spano
did. But then, Phil was among friends. In
November of 1993, Phil, along with Olivia
Watt and the Rev. Bill Bichsel, traveled to
Cuba on a humanitarian mission. The trip
was organized by Pastors for Peace, a Minneapolis-based activist group.
Their goal was to repair crumbling houses
that had fallen into decay largely as a result
ofthe 1962 U.S. embargo against Cuba-an
embargo Phil Spano thinks ought to be
lifted. Cuba is as healthy for the world as
we are. They should be allowed a level
playing field. We should not be making it
difficult for Cuba to exist, Spano said.
Spano also questions the U.S. Government's
assertion that the Castro regime oppresses
the Cuban people. Cuba...is not perfect.
But it's taking care of its people's basic
needs.
While in Cuba, Spano felt the effects of
the embargo first hand. Construction materials needed to be continuously recycled to
make new repairs. Lx}oking back, however,
Spano thinks the trip was well worth it. I
would not hesitate to go back and visit
Cuba.

The sun provides us with a

the ultraviolet rays are the
ones that cause the harm.
These rays of the sun cause
tanning, redness, and sunburn (if we aren't careful).
Also, studies have shown that

Some people are more sensitive than others to the effects of
the sun. Ifyou are blue-eyed, have
freckles, are blond or have red
hair, you are more likely to burn
rather than tan. You are also
more at risk of developing skin
cancer from constant exposure to
the sun. However, anyone who
spends a lot of time in the sun
may develop skin cancer. The
American Cancer Society reports
that 90% of skin cancers are
found on parts of the body usually not covered with clothes. The
areas most likely to get skin cancer are the face, hands, forearms,
and the ears. People who try to get
tans may also develop skin cancer
on their shoulders, back, chest,
and legs.

All sunburns will eventually blister and peel about a

There will also be tanning as

Treatment:
• Mild Sunburn: (1) apply a
compress of cool tap water or
Burrow's solution for 20 minutes at least three or four
times a day (more ifyou can).
(2) a topical spray, lotion, or
cream for sunburn can help

Letter to the
Editor
Dear Editor,
In response to T a m m y Loa's
article. Textbook Costs and
Values Explained, in the last
issue of the I n d e p e n d e n t , 1
would like to clarify several of
the issues she discussed.
Of primary concern to all
students is the buyback price
they will be offered on texts
they do not want to keep. T h e
prices we are able to offer are
based on two factors. First, the
books we buy back are determined by textbook orders we
have received from instructors
for the next quarter. This includes all text orders from all
three University of W a s h i n g ton campuses. As U W T is a
small campus, some courses are
offered only once a year. Therefore, it is not always possible
for us to buy back books at the
end ofthe quarter during which
they were used. We encourage
students to bring these books
back
during
subsequent
buybacks, when, hopefully, we
will have a request for t h e m .
T h e n , students can receive our
best price of 5 0 % of the new
price o f t h e book, regardless of
whether it was purchased new
or used. But, we still face the
problem of new editions or ins t r u c t o r s selecting different
texts for their courses.
Second, our used book
wholesalers provide us with

Tacoma City Council is out of
touch with the people of the city
The City of Tacoma has lost its
most important entity with the
loss of the Rockets. 1 cannot understand why the city council
would not want to have the hockey
team here. They appear not to
have used any logic or common
sense in their dealings with the
team. All that I have seen, heard
and researched has pointed to one
thing: the overpowering need for
money! With the loss of the
Rockets, there is not any affordable sporting events to go to during the winter months. O h yes, we
have the Seahawks, the Sonics
and the Mariners for major league
sporting events, but you cannot
take your family to one of these
games and actually see the players
without paying with your firstborn.
Major League sporting events are
not meant for family entertainment, they cost too much for the
average person to attend. Tickets
for the Seahawks, in the nosebleed
section, cost around $25.00 each.
Ifyou have a family of four, it will
be a $200.00 event with the added
cost of parking and the $5.00
hotdogs. The average family does
not have that kind of money to
throw away. It is a little cheaper to
go to a Sonics or Mariners game,
but you are still sitting in the nosebleed seats.
With the loss of the Rockets in
Tacoma, there is only one other
sporting event that takes place: the
Rainier's baseball. They cannot
even GIVE tickets away to these
games! Besides, who wants to go
and watch a team consistently lose,
kind of like their major league
counterpart in Seattle! At least with
the Rockets, you could take your
family of four to a game for about
$55.00 with pop and fries for everyone, and you could sit in the
arena where you could actually see

the game without the use of binoculars.
What is there to do in Tacoma
now? There are no winning sports
teams to watch. The fans of the
Rockets do not want to travel to
Seattle to see the Thunderbirds
(Thunderpucks) or to Portland to
see
the
Winterhawks
(Winterchickens) because of the
exciting rivalry between these teams
and the Rockets that has been established. Besides, who really wants
to go to Seattle, the city of losing
teams.
The Tacoma Dome has an outdated, limited, poorly constructed
and horrible seating arrangement.
The building of a new seating arrangement for the Rockets would
have only benefited the dome in
the fact that it would have provided
closer seating for events. The
Tacoma Dome needs to be renovated and a new seating system

ally play or not. With this in
mind, the city is going to get paid
for almost 16% ofthe dates available in the dome, with the added
bonus that if the Rockets are
taken out of the playoffs early,
they will be able to use the dates
for something else, charging rent
again, making double the money.
1 hope that none of the city
councilpeople or the mayor gets
reelected when the time comes. I
hope that the new city council
will actually be concerned with
the people of Tacoma and not the
bottom line! Besides, who really
takes their kids to an RV or boat
show? No one I no either! They
are BORING AND DULL, for
those of us without money to
throw away. O n the other hand,
going to an event where we can
follow a team, such as the Rockets, as a family, is anything but
boring and dull.
needs to be installed, with bigger
seats and wider isles. The Tacoma
Dome is far and away the worst
arena in the entire Canadian
Hockey League. When the Rockets
came to them for some concessions on the contract that they had,
the city and the dome did nothing
but make the Rockets' life difficult.
There is no reason now for the
Rockets to stay in Tacoma. The
fans will still support them and
would bend over backwards to help
them, but the City of Tacoma does
not seem to care about its constituents, just money.
The city's excuse for not wanting to work with the Rockets is
that they can make more money
from the use of the dome with
shows and concerts. I do not
follow this reasoning. The Rockets paid rent on 50 plus dates for
the use of the dome, they paid
regardless of whether they actu3

Robert Helm Exhibition of
paintings opens: June 6th
Paintings by the esteemed
Northwest artist Robert Helm,
who has built a strong international reputation, come to the
Tacoma Art M u s e u m June 6 S e p t e m b e r 24 in the T h i r d
Floor Galleries. T h e exhibition
was curated by Marti Mayo
from collections in the United
States and Europe for the University of H o u s t o n ' s Blaffer
Gallery, where it earned trem e n d o u s popular and critical
success. This is the first solo
major m u s e u m exhibition of
the artist's work. Thirty out of
the 64 paintings, made from
1981 to 1993, will be presented
here, selected for Tacoma by
the artist and chief curator Barbara J o h n s .
Robert Helm grew up in the
Palouse of eastern W a s h i n g t o n ,
a sparsely populated region echoed in his art. T h e paintings
are carefully crafted on wood
panels, frequently with wood
inlays, s u r r o u n d e d by frames
made by the artist. They depict
a secret world: strange, almost
eerie still life compositions and
landscapes containing ordinary
images of birds, dogs, trees,
pieces of wood and boats placed
in desolate s u r r o u n d i n g s . They
have been described as paintings
laden with overtones of sexual and
Gothic mystery that raise the contemplation of solitude to heroic
dimensions. In her catalogue essay, curator Marti Mayo describes
the paintings as visions of contemporary isolation and 20th century man's troubled relationship to
nature, culture and the world at
large.
Robert Helm was b o r n in
t h e m i n i n g c o m m u n i t y of
Wallace, I d a h o , a sixth generat i o n N o r t h w e s t e m e r . After
earning his bachelor's and master of fine arts degree in sculpture from W a s h i n g t o n State
University in Pullman, he embarked on a teaching career that
took him to the University of
C o l o r a d o , W a s h i n g t o n State,
and the Banff School of Art in
British C o l u m b i a .
He has been the recipient of
several awards including the
Deutscher
Akademischer
Austausschdienst (D.A.A.D.)
from the G e r m a n government
in 1 9 7 8 ; an Individual Artists
Fellowship from the National
E n d o w m e n t for the Arts in
1 9 8 6 ; a n d o n e of the 1986
Awards in the Visual Arts from
the S o u t h e a s t e r n C e n t e r for
C o n t e m p o r a r y Art at W i n s t o n Salem, N o r t h C a r o l i n a .
H e l m ' s work has appeared
in n u m e r o u s group exhibitions
in m u s e u m s a n d g a l l e r i e s
t h r o u g h o u t the U . S . and Europe including the 1987
W h i t n e y Biennial, w h e n the
painting Night W i n d o w was
illustrated in the Time magazine review; the Musee d'Art
M o d e r n e de la Ville de Paris,
France; H i r s h h o r n Museum
and Sculpture G a r d e n , W a s h ington, D . C ; Contemporary

Museum,
Houston;
Neuberger M u s e u m , State University of New York at Purchase; and the Seattle Art
M u s e u m ' s D o c u m e n t s Northwest series in 1983-84.
T h e exhibition is accompa-
nied by a 128-page catalogue,
Robert Helm, 1981 -1993, distributed by Blaffer Gallery and
the University of W a s h i n g t o n
Press, with 64 color plates and
essays by Ms. Mayo, art critic
Ron Glowen and writer William Kittredge.
