The ID Preservation and Development
Authority is renovating the New Central
Hotel into 28 one-bedroom units for our
low-income elderly and handicapped
per.on. under the Neighborhood Strategy Areas Program (NSA). Renovation of
the New Central and the Jackson Hotel
follows rehabilitation of the Bush Hotel
and will fulfill part of the NSA go:ol of
providing 225 units of low-income
subsidized housing under the Department
of Housing and Urban Development's
Section 8 program .
- and past projects such as the Bush-Asia
Center, International House, International Terrace and Impe.riaJ House - did
not come easily. The community got
together to advocate for the nrcessary
government support to make these
projects become reality.
In the past, community groups,
working together, have been able to
leverage for benefits to the community to
offset public developments like, for
example, Interstate 5, which was built on
the east side of the District. Hundreds of
people in the single family sector of the
District were displaced by the constructianofl-5. But thefOwasableto negotiate

alloca tion of approximatd'y 800 units of
subsidized housing for our lo w-income
residents.
Other planned development . such as
the conversion of Union Station into an
lntermodel Transportation Terminal by
the Port of Seattle. was never allowed to
proceed because the nqative impacts
were too great to be neutralized by any
positive factors. In o ther wo rds, we
would have gotten nothing in return.
The ID community also flexed its
collective muscle when confro nted by the
planned conversion of the Immigation
and Na turalizatio n Building into a facility
for a 300-bed wo rk release program . This
program never had a chance because 100
percent of the commun ity - businesses,
residents and social services - adamantly
opposed the co ncept.
Which brings us to Metro's new
planned development and the State's 1-90
project. We have a responsibility to O UI
community to negotiate amenities to the
community if and when these p rojects are
built.
In the very near futu re, Metro will

'Oofty
Goofty'
play suffers
from vague
plotting
by Esth er Sug';
Frank Chin's new play "Oofty Cooky"
was presented in a staged reading by the
Northwest Asia,n American Theatre
(fonnerly Asian Exclusion Act) at the
Ethnic Cultural Theatre October 11.
"Oofly Coofty" is Chin's attempt to
"explore the sil~ce that was withering the
Nikkei souJ" following internment in
American concentration camps during
World War II. He has woven a
contemporary myth around Oofty Coofty, a Nisei Everyman, and the theme of
racial extinction through assimilation and
intermarriage with white society.
The play takes p lace in the womb, a
myth ological land where Dofty Goofly
wanders before birth. Convinced by his
"UncleJACL" that the way to happiness in
America is assimilation, Oohy Goofty
sets out to become the "perfect experimental animal," one with no sentimental
value. To win the beautiful Nisei princess,
Oofty Coofty decides to get new eyes (to
6.terminate the Nisei in himself) so th a t h e

"Oofty Goofly" suffers from the same
flaws as Chin's other plays. It is too long.
The animals overstay their welcome with
no perceptible justification fo r their
appearance. There is little true interaction
between players; they make speeches at
each other. Chin's characters are cardboard dolls, lacking depth or substance.
The Oofty Goofty character is the most

than to complete the list of 12 zodiacal

excellent performer in a limited role. Jerry
T o ndo as Oofty Goofty was the perfect
ingenue, although awkwa,rd in the
prelude and postlude monologues in
camp.
The question an d answer period
following the reading was spiced by a
heated exchange between author Chin
and japanese American Citizens League
OACL) officer Cherry Kinoshita . He
said he was puzzled why "the Japan ese
Americans went into camp wit:· so few
legal ripples thro ugh the courts and why
they turned up so silent when they carne
out of the camps." Through research,
Chinsaidhediscovered that, in fact, so me
282 Nisei had challenged the legal ityof the
internment, served time in prison, and
had their cases overturned in court . In
effect, says Chin, the Nisei won.
So, why have Japanese Americans
remained si len t about this, and why is the
of fea r, Chin quoted from JACL and
government documents indicating that
the U.S. government was not prepared to
round up the entire japanese American
population by force. When Kinoshita
asked , "What would you have done if
faced with forced internment?", Chin said
he hoped he would have been on the side
of the resist ers.
Chin made a stirring case for the
vindicated Nikkei as he stomped around
the stage, pl aint ively bellowing, "You
won! You won I You don'''t have to feel
guilty any more'" But the contrast
betwee n his own performance and "Oofty
Goofty" was too greaL Despite Chin's
hostility toward the jACL. one senses he
supports Japanese Americans, at least
ideall y and abstractly. Watching the play,
however, one feels that the author of
"Oofty Goofty" is totally unconcerned
about the future of the Nisei.

Eighty percent of wo rker!. re<'ently polled
said they would continue wo rking even if
they didn't have to. Work has many
definitions, but if anything, the feminist
movement has made payment superfluous
to the definition of work . Work as paid
employment is too narro w a definitio n for
an activity that has significant fu nctions
besides the economic ones of subsistence
for the individual . distribution of wealth.
and production of goods and services.
The social and personal functions of work
are equally vital . Work providts individuals with a pla~ to meet , converse, and
fonn social relatio nships. Wo rk also
confers social status and a place in the
social hiuMchy. Wo rk provides a sense of

The on ly certain thing about work in
the future is that work roles will change- as
the economy moves fro m its industrial
structure to a post-industrial. third wave
economy.
Betw.." 1949 and 1965. 8000 job
catego ries disappu~"and 6000 job
categories were created. The average
worker in the future:will have three or four

for a pMticu1ar skill can double or be
reduced by half in 20 years. Th is fact
highlights the almost certain wo rker
obsolescence which will occur in our
rapidly changing economy . University
degrees may han automatic expiration
dates to insure continued competence.
This need for life-Ions leaming adds to the
total quality of life: of an individuaJ
worker by offe:.rins the opportunity to
expand expertise in an aru, and perhaps
become interested in another field . The
srparalion betWftJ\ work and eduCiition
will disappear..
These: changes <nate an opportunity
for variety , choice. and pursuit of
multiple interests over a lona period of
time dpportunities for intrinsic rewards
which could lead to greater job satisfaction.
The economy is shifting from a
manufactUring, goods p roducing;, economy which employs o nly 20 million
workers to a servia and infonnation
economy which employs 6S million
workers. Th is shift may not add to job
satisfaction since most of the differences
are extrinsic. environmental differences
within an industrial economy. The
tyranny of themachinein the factory may
be replaced by tho tyunny of tho
bureauracy . Hierarchy, rigidity, and
profit/COst optimization are still the
standards.
The work fora is increasing by two
million workers a year, a result of the
baby-boom generation coming of wo rking age and the entry of large numben of
women to the labor market . Our slo w
growing economy may not be able to
provide mouah jobs, let alone satisfying
jobs, for these large numbers. Unemployment may become a sodal problem or an
opportunity to ndefme wo rk to include
all activities of value in the society.
Unemployment may become ob50lete,
losing its sodal stigma as programs of
income maintenance a.re established.
Choice about how to spend o ne's time is
perhaps the greiltest intrinsically rewarding opportunity .

Chinese group seeks to
'increase political awareness'
by Ron Chew
The Chme5e Community Public AIfairs Organization (CCPAO), which is
hosbng a c~didates forum in the
lntemational District this Wedne5day,
seeks to "mcrease the political awue.ness
of Chinese so that they are better able to
vote intelligently, ont of the organization'sfounderssaid in an interview earlier
this month
Karen Gail Chinn Wong. criminal
defense attorney (or the Associated
Counsel for the A ccused and president of
CCPAO, was one of three individuals
who formod CCPAO in June, 1980.
Wong . Boeing engineer Art Lum. and
dentist Dr Roy Mar launched the
organiution. which is governed by a
SC!\'m-member board. to promote community participation in the political
process
Wong . long-time activist in Seattle's
Chinese community. said CCPAD last
month began a membership drive which
will broaden CCPAO'sbase of representalion . CCPAD currently has about 20
members
" In the past Chinese people have been
more concerned with their own families
and making a living and haven't shown
the interest in becoming as politically
involved as the Japan~ have .. Wong
said
CCPAO. which is seeling to incorporate as a non-profit organiLation. invites
the participation of Democrats, Republi-
cans and Indept:ndents and has enrourOlged voter registration . Wong said,
CCPAO s first project was a c.mdidates
forum to October. 1980. which attracted
l.SO people who hurd a vanety of
candidatn running for major legislative
SC!.ats, lllduding U.S. Senator Slade
Gorton . u .s. Rep~t.b~ Mike
Lowry. Govrmor John Spellman and
St~te Attorney ~er~l Ken Eikenberry.
Since that forum . CCPAO has maintained contact with Gorton. EiLenberry
and SpeUman, Wong said .
Direct ties with e:lected officiaJs are
important. Wong said. when issues
affecting the Chinese community come up
such as propo~ immigration law
changes which would prevent reunific~ ­
tion of families .
In March , 1981 , CCPAO held a
Chinese New Year dinner to honor
newly-elected Governor John Spellman .
And this Wodnesd.y, October 20,
CCPAO will hold • cancUdate, night
forum at thelmperial Palace Restaurant at
609 South Weller in the international
District. A no~host cocktail hour will
begin at s: 30 p.m .. dinner at 6 :30 and the
foru m at 7:30 •. Forum organizers hope to
havemajorcandidatesforthe U.S, Senate
and the U.S. House races there .
Another major CCPAO project. according to Wong, isto "compile a list of all
the Chinese families that live m King
County and find out which precincts have
a concentration of Chinese so that elected
officials are aware of their potential
impact." An initial list of Chinese was
derived from Chinese organizations
Wong said. and CCPAO will go to other
sources such asthephone.book, voter lists
and possibly the Census Bureau for
additional names. The names will be
consolidated into a computer list, she
said. CCPAO islookin8 for volunteets.
particu1arly students. to help on the
project.
Last month. CCPAO also put out the
first issue of a regular newsletter to
acquaint potential voters with the
organization, key political races in K..inI
County and other ballot measures.
