Obscene caller
targets Asian
women
by Ro n Chew
At least six Asian women 10 Seattle,
five of whom are community activists.
have received early morning o~ne
phone caUs fro m an individual who has
observed and knows details about the
women.
Three of the victims planned to file
police reports last week and several
planned to file 'annoyance call complaints' with the phone company.
Only three of the women are list~ in
the Seattle phone directory, two with
their first initials, but the mysterious
male caller asked for each of the six
women b)· their first names. And the
caller told two women he had seen them
at specific community events in the International District. He asked one of the
other women whether she was still considering applying for a particular job,
which surprised the woman because she
had only fold a small number of indi·
viduals that she had considered applyIna.- _
"1 feel a lot of anger because this
person has invaded our privacy and
caused us to feel a certain amount of
puanoia, '. one of the women told The
&Ilminer Asian women are a good
target because this person knows they
probably won't report it or do anythins
.. bout it. "
According to Dick Sugiyama, dirKtor
of the Victim Assistance Program in the
Seattle Police Department, phone
harassment is a misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum of $SOO fine and six
month s in Jail .
Because of the similarities in the
phone caJls, the women feel one individuaJ was respons ible for the calls.
The fi rst caJJ came on Christmas Eve
and the last call came January 18, most
of the calls bunched around the holiday
time, and the time of the calls ranging
from about 1:30 to 4 :10 in the morning.
Th~ of the six women have received
more than one call, the calls lasting from
severa] seconds to, in one case, 20
minutes.
The caller, who has identified himself
with three different Japanese American
pseudonyms and in other cases refused
to give a name, did tell one of the victims that he was active in the Tacoma
Asian American community and in politics.
The Erllmmer spoke to each of the
women and one woman's husband who
intercepted the caJls intended for his
wife. The Victims agree that the caBer
sounded like a young Asian male, p robably in his 20's and probably Ja ~ese
American, by the inf]ection in his voice.
One woman, whose phone number is
unlisteod, Silid "It kind of worries me
that he knows who I am, just the idea
that he has inform.tion on me and probably knows whuc I live. but I don't
know who he is."
Another woman said that since she
started rK'eiving the calls she has been
Olfraid to go down to the International
District without her husband, particularly at night. She received the first
obscene call Christmas Eve, and two
subsequent calls in January on days
when she had gone down to the International District. The woman 's husband
answered the two su~uent calls, and
the caller hung up upon hearing his
voice,
'1 wouJd like to find out who this
person is," she said, "so that I don't feel
so hesitant to go down into the community. I feel stupid having my husbOlOd
lead me down the street
Kazzie Katayama, of SeOlttle Rape
Relief, says it is not uncommon for
obscene phone callers to obi;erve Uu!ir
victims prior to caIling, but that in most
cases the COllIers lack the courage to confront their victims.
'They get their jollies from the shoclc
of the victims. Katayama s.a.id. 'The
first thing we teU vict ims to do is eithu
to hang up or blow a whistle into the
receiver. The main thing is not to listen
to them.
'10 tltis case, it would be a good idea
to contact the polia. particularly sina: it
seems like mort: than just a random
thing, "
Sugiyama said he tries to enco~
victims of obscene ans to make a report
to the police, no matter how isolated
their case may seem . Victims should caU

make a non~ugency 1"epOrt, Sugi-

Task force recommends consolidation of ethnic programs
by Connie \"Vang
Reorganization of ethnic studie-s programs at the University of Washington
into one department serves "the long-run
bc!-st interest of the programs and the
University, according toa University task
force proposal currently under consideration.
The University has programs in Asian
American, Afro-American, Chicano and
American lndian Studies. The American
Indian Studies Program is not included In
the recommendation because it may
merge \vith the Department of Anthropology ,
The task force, appointed by Dean
Ernest Henley of the College of Arts and
Sciences and Dean Scott Briar of the
School of Social Work, was charged with
studying the advantages and di.sadvantages of fonning a single department with
separate divisions for each of the current
ethnic studies programs. The task force
looked at an administrative structure and
curriculum fo r such a consolidation
The task force, which forwarded its
recommendations to Henley and Briar
last November, consisted of: Professor
Hubert Locke, cha ir ; Marilyn Bentz; Dr.
lauro Aores; Dr . Tetsuden Kashima ; Dr.
JamesMorishima ; Dr. ClaudeSteele ; Dr.
James Vasquez; Dr . Wayne Will ia ms;
and Dr, Edgar Winans.
Henley and Briar may give their
response to the task force report somel ime
later this month.
Acco rding to the task force report , the
advantagesof a reorganization would be :
inter-ethnic course offerings, greater
program stability because of departmental status, ability to offer an under-
Tnsuden K.stllm;l says he w;ants re.actiOl\ to the propoNl--G~ Tu;u photo
graduate degree (present ly only AfroAmerican Studies offers a degree while the
other programs offer a General interdisciplinary Studies degree), abilit y to
create a graduate degree grant ing program. sharing of reso urces between the
programs, and abilit y to acquire tenured
faculty within Ethn ic Studies.
However, the task force felt a disadvantage to the proposal wbuld be
"relativp loss of autonomy and self determination within theexisting ethnic studies
program ." Other potential disadvantages
aredilutkm o f the identity of each specific
ethnic program and difficult y in maintaining equity between programs.
According to the task force report ,the apparent advantages gained by the
departmentalization of the Ethnic Studies
is seen as outweighing the disadvan tages
realized by such sacrifices. Departmen talization is considered to be the long~ run
best interest of the existing Ethnic Studies
Programs and the University as a whole."
Dr. Tetsuden Kashima , director of
Asian American Studies, said, "\Ne will
try to pro tect Asian American Studies'
autonomy and independence, and we will
lose some, no·doubt. Bu t we think this is
the most realistic and feasible way of
giving stability and msuring fu ture
growth.
I as a director and we as a program,
need other people's suggestions and
reactions to the proposal- not just a 'yes'
ora 'no', but we need to know why. Give
us comments and suggestions. The recommendation is just a sleleton . .the
flush ing out has to come ",,;th the
communit y and by working with other
programs
The second major issue addressed by
the Task Force proposal concerned
curriculum and administrative stnlcture.
The committee recommended. the CI'e'aHon of l00-level 'multi-ethnic" su.t'Vt")'
co urses. At the 200-level. introductory
culture-speciFic co~ and cult ure general courses would be offered fro m
different perspectives and stress specific
disciplines such as Psychology and
Political Science. Courses at the 300-level
would cover methods and theories of
Ethnic Studies (eSearch . At the 400-leve:l.
cou...., would be highly specialiud and
seminars would focus on current issues in
the study of race and ethnicity.
'This (reorganization ) may substanhaU}, add to course offerings rather than
cut any, - Kashima said . " This is a positive
feature of reorganization .
As a ci.epartment, Ethnic Studies like
other departments. would have a department chair as its chief administrator. The
proposal rf!COmmends that the chair serve
on an Executive Co uncil with the heads of
each of the culture-specific programs to
[orm ulate departmenta..l policy and goals.
Under the proposaJ, each program would
still have its own program director. The
Ethnic Studies department would be
housed in the College of Arts and
Sciences.

Three japanese Ammcans who refused to obey World War II curfew and
evacuation orders have filed a federal
court petition to reverse their convictions .
Minoru Yasui Gordon Hirabayashi.
and Fred Korematsu were defendants in
the landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases
which upheld the legality of the evacuation and internment of over llO,OCX> japanese Americans. Approl!;imately 7O,OCX>
of the internees wert' American citizens.
TheIr ~tition charges that government
officials and attorneys suppressed. altered and destroyed key evidence to influence the outcome of their cases.
''The importance of this petition is that
the evidence for reversing these convictions comes from the government's own
files, said Peter Irons, lead counsel.
"Records show that the efforts of government lawyers who objected to the suppression of evidence were rtjected by
high-ranking officials.
Yasui. Hirabayashi and Korematsu
charge that the government knowing1y
misled the Court by presenting false evidence so that the constitutionality of the
evacuation would be upheld.
Minoru Yasui was convicted in 1942
for violating military curfew orders
aimed at Japanese Americans. in addition
to his internment, Yasui spent nine
months in solitary confinement in county
jail.
Gordon Hirabayashi was convicted
both for violating the curfew and for refusjng to report to a civil control station for
evacuation. He served nyo years in county jails and federal prisons. '"My only
charge was my ancestry. he said .•• 'Why
not accuse me of espionage or something]" I told them. Then I would have
grounds to defend myseU."
Fred Korematsu was similarly convicted for violating evacuation orders and
¥."as sentenced to five years probation in
addjtjon to his internment. 'It wasn't
right to evacuate everyone without a

the Final Report which .tated thot mus
evacuation was MCftSolry not because
there was insuHicient time to mU.e individual loyalty determin<ltions, but
b«.ause it was ·'impossible" to ~rate
the loyol from the disloyal no matter how
muchtimewastakm.
The Justice Depa.rtment had co05is-tentty argued to the Court ~t mass evacuation was necessary beause thert was
insufficient time to hold individual hearings.
The Report was altered, the original
Final Report was burned, and rocords
indicating the issuance of the first Final
Report were destroyed to conceal its existence, the three men charge
According to the petitioners, the Office
of Navallntelligen<", which conducted a
tw<>-ye.r study of the West Coast japanese Americans, concluded that only a
small and readily identifiable portion of
the japanese American people we.~ even
potentially disloyal.
A justice Department attorney, john
Burling, wrote in a. memo to Assistant
Attorney General Herbert Wechsler,
''You will recall that Ge""ral DeWitt's
report makes statements concerning
radio transmitte.rs and ship to shore signalling which are c.tegoncally demed by
the FBI and the. Federal Communications
Commission. There is no doubt that these
statements are intentional falsehoods _ ....
The three petitioners charge that the
government's own records prove that
officials fabricated the facts underlying
the Supreme Cou rt 's finding of military
necessity .
Dale Minami, lead attorney for Fred
Korematsu, said , "Many in our community might believe that their internment
was the \rnee..jerk response caused by
wartime hysteria. But this case: reveals
that the internment was also a product of
calculated and cynical decisions on the
part of high officials to uphold the evacu.
ation almost at any cost -eve.n if it meant
lying to the Supreme Court."

Punericanschallenge

The petition charges that government
officials and attorneys suppressed,
altered and destroyed key evidence
hearing, he said. ''Bemg an American
citizen didn't meana thing."
In 1943 and 1944. their cases were
appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court and,
in a series of unprecedented decisions, the
high Court held that the en masse racial
evacuation and internment was justified
by '"military necessity
The finding of "military necessity" by
the Court was based upon government
representations that Japanese Americans
were committing espionage and sabotage
by signaling enemy ships from shore.
The Court also accepted government
arguments that the loyalty of Japanese
Amencans wa.s suspect because of the
racial characteristics of the population.
"(W)e cannot reject as unfounded the
judgment of the military authorities and
that of Congress that there were disloyal
members of (the Japanese American)
population whose number and strength
could not be prt"Ciseiy and quidcly ascer-
tained," wrote the Court in the
Hirabayashi decisJon.
The allegations of espio~ge, sabotage
and disloyalty wert contained in an
official document entitled the Final
Report, issued by Lt. General John De-.
Witt, who ordered the evacuation and
intemment.
Yasui. Hirabayashi and Korematsu
now charge that the justice Department
and the War Department were aware of
high level reports from the Office of
Naval Intelligence, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI). the Federal Communications Commission. and the Army's
own military intelligence division which
directly refuted the espionage sabotage
and disloyalty allegations. These reports,
which undermined the military necessity" claims. were withheld from the
Court, the three men charge.

Ti Locke, founder and editor of the
Northwest Tnbutl~ , a new quarterly tabloid published last month, says her newspaper will try to explain various sides of
issues ratherthan try to report the news.
Locke did most of the interviews,
writing, and photography for the first
ISSue. She also designed, typeset, pasted
up and distributed the newspaper, her
Hving room doubling as a business office.
her be.lt-up old car doubling as a newspaper delivery van.
She says she didn't have much money
to bankroll the project. Just the support of
a lot of friends.
And she says she's still not sure why she
decided to launch the newspaper. but
added that ·'there aren't many non-white
women producing general interest publications;' which makes her situation interesting.
The inaugural issue of the Northwest
Tribune, which Locke describes as "on
the eclectic side, leads with the front page
article, A new generation of draft resisters. which consists of interviews with
fouranonymousdraft.agemen .
The issue also features "Abortion: The
Politics of Emotions', which includes
interviews with the president of the State
board of the Human Life Organization,
which opposes abortion, and a feminist
therapist who believes '<every woman
must have the right to make her own decisions about her pregnancy. Two women
who laced the tr.. ~ of deciding whe.
ther to ha~ an abortion also share their
stories,
The ll-page tabloid also contains lively, personal pieces on the "mini-boom" in
house cleaning services in Seattle. the
"profitable and fun" aspects of garage
sales. and the Intennediate School. an
independent elementary school which the
founder hopes to develop into 'a strong.
nurturing, innovative school."
'The first issue. ' Locke said. 'is on the
eclectic side because I wanted to try out
different ideas, see what some of the
response from readers would be. But it's

One eve.ning, I rode the school bus up
to Beacon HiU . Above the din of 30 kids
who were all talking , I heard one kid say
to another, ''You'rea pig?'
At fmt 1 thought a fight was beginning
to brew, so 1 moved toward the group of
kids whose voices were increasing in
volume .
As I came closer, I realized that these
kids weren't mad at each other, nor were
theycaUingeach other names . They were
simply asking each other what yur they
werebomin
Most everybody would expect dates .
Bu t the-se were a bunch of Chinese kids
and instead of dates. they were proudly
shouting, 'I'm a monkey' " or "1 was born
adogl" Smiles broke out over theirfacn .
1sat there. wa tching all this in the darkness of the bus, the darkness hiding the
smile that crept oYer my face from the
enjoyment of listerung to these kids talk
People in passing cars must have thought

A quasi-annual report on
community projects
by Bob Santos
One nice thing about being a contributor to the b,t6matlonal Examiner is that I
can use this column as a quasi-annual
rrport for the International District
Improvement Association (Inter-1m). of
which I serve as executive director
If you take a trip through the International District (10), you can se-e the
pro}t'Cts lnteT-Im either helped develop
or actively supported last year.
On the roof of the Bush Hotel. there's a
solar greenhou
for Hotel residents
completed with the help of Inter-1m, the
Chinatown-Internation.al District Preser~
vation and Development AuthOrity
(FDA ), Environmental Works . and
nlany faithful 10 volunt..",.
The groenhouse is 23 • by 18 and 18
high . The window square footage is approximately 450. The greenhouse, de~
signed by Dave Ernst of Environmental
Works . was built with steel frame beams
.ndstuds. witha dry wall attached.
John Foz. fonnerly of the PDA. and
Sharon Hart. formerly of Inter "'1m , were
the original staff members who coordinated essential planning and community organizing for the project. They were assis~
ted by Jamie Godshell from the City's
Department of Community Develop-
ment (DCD) and Lucy Gorham from the
Neighborhood Technology Coalition.
Dee Walsh. another DCD staffperson,
spent long hOUIS coordinating volunteers
dunng construction. Benjie Golvin. of
tho PDA. Mel Inouye and Ben Masaoka
rl Inter·lm, and ens Pfohl of Environmental ""orks each headed the project at
various stages of construction. Volun~ mc\uded Richard Mar, Donnie
Clun. Irene Woo. Rick Furukawa. Jerry
Schamens. Deborah Bowler Jeff Gold-
man, Donna Hiserman. Sue Chin and
many others I'm unable to remember.
Another completed project is the minipark adjacent to the 10 community
garden. The park, set in from the sidewalk on Main Street and Maynard A venue, is a rest area with benches situated
under fruit trees. A Jawn was planted and
gravel laid to round out a very plt"asant
environment for weary elderly gardeners
and guests. The park will be named after
Jack Takayama. an early gardener who
helped in the design and construction,
and passed away last year.
Further down the hill near the core of
the lntemational District, four projects
under construction will provide 92 low
income and 20 market rate housing units
All four projects will contain commercial
and office space on the basement and
street levels.
Work will soon resume on the uncom.
pleted theatre annex near Seventh
Avenue and South Jackson. As you may
remember. the project was to house a per·
forming arts theatre. offices and 7000

tian of the Bush Hotel into the community center. The Atlas Hotel is the first
building on King Street or in the Chinatown core to be renovated using public
resources. Owner Barry Mar and Doug
Chin, City housing development specialist. should be congratulated for their
efforts to make the Alias projKt a reality
To us at loter "'1m, this development 15 the
icing on the cake - or the filling in the
humbow - topping off a decade of
efforts to preserve and revitalize the
International District neighborhood.
The cutback in resources to federal.
state and city programs is reflected in the
reduction of Inter -1m staff. Funding for
our land use coordinator position and the
garden 'greenhouse coordinator position
wil1 be cut in half. but we will maintain
the same level of services as in the past.
Staff membe", of both Inter·lm and the
International District Housing Alliance
have shown their dedication to the community. Even though the resources to
support their activities have dwindled,
some staff
mem~rs
have co.nhnum to
work without pay while collecting unemployment compensation, making sure the
jobgetsdone.
The rewards of working in the ID have
been the dose relationships we at
Inter -1m have had with staff memben of
other agencies. The real people who make
things happen here in the ID are everyday

In the third section, a documentarystyle film, two scientists show an an·
droid various articles and instruct him to
spoon soil into a potted plant, eat with a
fork, etc. Aware that he will be "t..min.1Ited," the android escapes his ou.t·
ors, killing two people in the procoss,
and ,"""ato to a Holiday Inn. Now the
link with the lirst IUm is made: he rods
the Gethsemane story (from the Gideon
bible) and ponde" why les.,. remained
in the garden, thus choo&ing death.
According to Chong, the Articulated
Man comes from Borges' poem a.bout a
rabbi who created a Golem, a soulless
man, out of day to protect the Jews
from pogroms. But it bothers the rabbi
that the creature has no soul. The poem
ends questioning what God thinks of the
Golem's creation.
Ping Chong creates the
marvelous out of
the mundane
(AM/AM - Th. Articul.ted M.n.
Ping Chong and the Fiji Theatre Company. On the Boards.)
Ping Chong brought his unique experimental theater to Seattle last month.
His latest work, "AM/ AM - The Articulated Man," combines film , slides,
music, movement and language to create
a fantastic, visually beautiful world.
The image is Chong's main concern.
An artist who grew up in New York, he
felt limited by conventional painting and
film techniques. Working with Meredith
Monk and other experimental theater
artists . Chong blended various media to
create a '1anguage for our time ," This
language is predominately visual and
highly stylized; the spoken word is used
sparingly. Chong's technique involves
what he terms a "Bricollage : a new
world created out of any and aU available materials from an old world."
"AM AM" is marked by a singleminded professionalism seldom seen in
avant-garde art. Chong has a total
vision in mind and controls his media
effortlessly. The polished actors, music,
sets, all contributes to this vision.
The play begins with a photograph of
a forest scene seen in the negative. A
voice reads the story of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane . Next we see a slow
motion sequence of figures walking in a
park, accompanied by a leisurely piano
score by Meredith Monk. Just when we
have been lulled into contemplation, the
scene pulls back - it is Central Park,
and tiny figures scurry in fast motion
balloon~
;
• bokays
Chong's android has been <nated
lor some purpose, but like the Golem, he
has no soul. However, he has a spark of
humanity: when he escapes. he takes the
articles the scientists showed him. As he
examines these figures, his face shows a
wonder more than child-like in its
purity.
This state of pure perception is Ping
Chong's aim . in the first film, the negative images are repeated over and over
until the surface meaning is lost; it
becomes pure movement, pu~ image.
Everyday objects and events are juxtaposed next to the fantastic or horrible.
Our ordinary associations no longer apply, and we perceive in a totaUy new
way. Chong creates the marvelous out
of the mundane.
