It is the mid-1980s. I'm on campus and I run into a guy who I had known all through school in Olympia, from Roosevelt Elementary to OHS. Since I knew he was a conservative member of the LDS, and a law enforcement officer, I was surprised to see him there. It turned out he was taking a short course pertaining to his job, and the class just happened to be using TESC facilities. We sat and visited on a bench near the CAB entrance. He expressed great discomfort about being on the grounds.
» "I don't know about this place," he squirmed, "I might get ideas." I told him to relax. By the mid-1980s I was convinced TESC had watered down their entire school to the point where it was pretty much like any other college, and I told him so. The electricity and wonderful eccentricity of the 1970s was over, I said. Evergreen was now safe and bland. There was little danger of "getting ideas." Just then, as if on cue, someone walked by in a giant condom costume. That's what I get for generalizing.
