Fumes contaminate parking booth
Ongoing complaints ofheadaches, nausea to be solved by renovation
hy Whitney Kvasagcr

Working in Evergreen's parking booth makes Heather
Sha uvin 's head hurt and her stomach reel.
"I sit here for five hours a day. Carbon monoxide comes
in and there's no way for it to get out," Shauvin said.
The interior of Evergreen's parking booth is about the
size of a Volkswagen bus. There's a window, but no ventilation
system. When people stop for parking passes, the booth fills
with noxious fumes while their ca rs idle.
"It's like shutting yourself up in a tiny garage for five hours
and trying to kill yourself." Shauvin said.
Shauvin has worked at the booth for four yea rs and says
workers were complaining about headaches and nausea long
before she was hired.
Complaints caught the admin istrations' attention in
1998 when the parking supervisor said students' complaints
about ca rbon monoxide weren't isolated events: th e majority
were suffering. Up to that point, the college simply gave indoor
jobs to students who were bothered by the fumes.
"We bent over backwards when people complained," said
Police Services Director Steve Huntsberry. Huntsberry is
responsible for both TESC Police Services and TESC parking.
Rich Davis, Evergreen 's Engineer Maintenance Program
director, investigated the booth on Oct. 7, 1998, and found that
the way it was constructed could make attendants ill.
"The college should abandon the booth and use
automated equipment, or improve the bnoth," sa id Davis in a
1998 e-ma il to Huntsberry.
After Davis' investigation, months of meetings ensued
between college officials. They decided to keep the booth even
though renovation will cost more than the booth's original
constru ction . Huntsberry said the value of a friendly face was
wq~t1rmore to the college than remodeling costs.

"We decided to
keep it because it's the
students in the booth
who have the ability
to make the fir st
impression

visitors to ca mpus .
We didn't want to
loose that," sa id
Huntsberry.

Student e-mail in the click of a mouse
But will the convenience of the new system lure ·us into a trap?
Noah Michel

Next year, stude~ts'm~~ave the power
to e-mail the entire campus. A new e- mail
syste m ha s been planned for next year,
replacing the old 'elwha system.' Among other
things, the system will assist students in
receiving more campus information, e-mailing
groups of people on campus, and has the
ability to be checked from anywhere. David
Metzler, the lead network engineer in the
computer center is responsible for replacing
the old system.
"You know you're in trouble when the
service rep comes out and says 'weill haven't
seen one of those in years,'" said Metzler
commenting about the current system.
Currently, the Evergreen e-mail system is
split in two: the students (about 18 percent of
the student body uses their Evergreen e-mail
accounts) use the old system, while most
faculty and staff currently operate on the new
system. Some teachers still operate on the old
system, however.
The cost ofthe new system will be from
about 50 to 65 thousand dollars, which will
come out of the equipment budget of the
Computing and Communications section of
Evergreen. The cost is large because it will pay

for both hardware and software.
The new system, powered by Microsoft
Exchange, will support more programs for
accessing e-mail, such as Netscape and Excite,
because it can be brought up on different web
servers. Along with that students can include
attachments, making it possible to se nd
assignments via e-mail. The new program will
become operational during the second
summer session; the old system will be still be
operational until the fall. In the interest of
everyone involved, student's e-mail addresses
will remain the same.
A controversial addition to student email is the ability to e-mail groups of
individuals, possibly every student, faculty
and employee atthe college. This raises serious
questions about what allowance students
should have to e-mail such groups. After a
conversation that took place over the Internet
around the subject of "take your daughters to
work day," some faculty thought the ability to
e-mail all employees was unnecessary. As a
result, Metzler has begun holding talks with
the faculty about this very issue.
"The question is 'who should be able to
send e-mail to the entire student body?'" said
Metzler.

The arguments against being able to email numerous people is that it is a waste of
state resources, and that users will not be able
to separate the e-mail they want from the e-mail
they don't. On the co ntrary, there is a number
of faculty that believe this new system could
assist in helping to build Evergreen's
community through prOViding a new well of
information.
"I n discussions with faculty it comes
down to personal preference," said Metzler.
Other college campuses with similar emailing systems work under vastly different
premists. Some can e-mail large sections of the
student body with approval ofa dean, some can
e-mail the entire student body for a fee of 100
dollars.
Brian Siebuhr, the systems programmer
and exchange administrator, at Evergreen
outlined three possible options that could be
implemented in order to maintain peace on
line.
The first is to use a part of the Microsoft
exchange software that is already part of the
new e-mail. This program offers a list of all the
e-mail addresses on campus and the user has
the ability to make a list out ofthese names and
then e-mail th~.t list; it is possible to highlight

the entire list.
The second option is a program, entitled
Web-Crossing, which is already on place on the
Evergreen website; the program allows anyone
that logs on to have a discussion. Only students
and faculty could operate the program,
however last year a large discussion took place
on Web crossing that contributed to the
decision for Mumia Abu-Jamal to speak at the
Evergreen graduation.
The final option is for students to be emailed the option to be part of different lists.
If they agreed to include their e-mailed on a list,
they would receive the information provided.
Meaning that as you receive material for a
program, you could receive information from
a list about upcoming dances at the college.
Siebuhr said any mass e-mail to the entire
campus "can be controlled to a certain extent."
However, he can only deal with people that
come to him with complaints, which means
many e-mail pranks will go ignored.
Metzler has held a series of meetings to
help air student opinion on the issues at hand.
To help establish a campus wide dialogue and
encourage participation he has included his email, metzler@evergreen.edu, in hopes of any
response students may have.

So much stuff happened today, they're getting briefs of their own. But I'll
relay a highlight ofwhat went down today here in the blotter for your viewing
needs. May you enjoy it as much as I have.
An officer stops an individual. who identifies himself only as "Jose,"
doing something suspicious near the HCC. When the officer asks Jose for
his date of birth, the man wittily replies"[ was too little to remember. I was
only a baby on the day [ was born. How can I remember that far back?"
This being of absolutely no real help, although mildly entertaining to
outsiders, the offi.ce again asks for his real name and date of birth. Jose does
not answer, although when asked ifhe is a student at TESC, he does reply
''I'm a student of life." Eventually, this verbal banter goes nowhere and Jose
is detained upon suspicion of trying to break into the HCC. And the week of
blotter ends as it.usually does, with intriguing possibilities.

6:24p.m.

Arrest for OUI (under investigation)
Three in custody for MIP and Narcotics Possession. (under investigation)
An officer is walking near the HCC when he spots five individuals also
walking about, one of them carrying what looks like a beer bottle. The guy
who's holding it tries to hide it, but it's too late. Again, things get more
complicated as it turns out he is only 20. He gets an MIP and his backpack is
searched for any more booze, which surfaces in the form of malt liquor and
two more bottles of beer.
At that point, the cop then asks the group to turn over any other drugs or
substances they have in their possession. The beer·carrying man hands over
a pill bottle and a friend of his turns over a cigarette box, each of which
contains a small white capsule. While the men say they found them, the cop
takes them to Police Services for Unlawful Possession. It gets worse as the
capsules test positive for amphetamines. The friend admits he took one of
them earlier and that it is speed. Both men are booked into the county jail.
A student gets harassed by someone. (under investigation)

One of the anim at ing principles of the Baha'i Faith is the oneness of humanity: "It is at

NNAH'S

Monday, May 13
2:30 a.m.
An officer is on foot patro l when he sees a few guys kicking a dump ster. He is
able to stop two of them, but lets one of them go. Unfortunately, he det ec ts an "odo r
of alcohol" on the other person 's breath. How surprising. Co uldn 't see that o ne
co ming. Anyhow, the guy's 19 and gets an MIP.
But it gets worse. When the officer asks ifh e has drugs or weapons on him, the
unlucky soul pulls out a small plastic baggy of "green vegetable matter." Three
guesses what that is, and the first two don't count.
Things get interrupted, however, when the officer hears loud popping so und s
coming from another direction. This being slightly more freaky, he tells th e
guy to stay at the police car unti l he gets back and then the cop takes off to see what
the ruckus is. He sees two people lighting off bottle rock ets. They see him and take
off, despite the yell of "Stop, police officer. "
Still, there is nowhere to run, and they are caught inside a Dorm bedroom.
Assertions of "we were sleeping and just woke up" do not fly with the cop, and alas,
they too are busted at that ungodly hour. Both are given an MIP, as there are "strong
odors of alcohol" coming from them , and cited for unlawful discharge of fireworks
nizance and the officer
in a reckless manner. They are released on their own re
returns to his car to deal with the first
case.
Oddly enough , the first guy is
nowhere to be seen. About two hours
later, the cop tracks him down to a
friend's room where the guy apologizes
for leaving. Since he does say he's sorry
and he did turn in the pot, the guy is
given a bit of a break and forwarded to
the Grievance Office, instead of the
county courthouse. Nothing further.

The "Million Mom March" took place
in D.C. and five dozen other cities around the
U.S. last week, demanding tougher gun
control laws. Organizers estimated that over
750,000 attended the rally in D.C. alone.

history. (from http://www.washingtonpost.

The U. N. condemned the U. S. earlier
this week for violations of the 1994
Convenlion against Torture. The U. N.
accused the U.S. police and prison system of
excessive brutality, particularly against
minorities, speCifically citing the recent
killings of unarmed black men in L.A. and
N.Y. and the use of electroshock stun belts
in prisons. (from http://www.reuters.com)
Large fires erupting from a planned
burn at Bandelier National Monument
destroying several hundred homes in and
around Los Alamos, New Mexico last week.
Though they are normally used to prevent
such catastrophic fires, the prescribed burn
incident prompted the u.s. Forest Service to
ban prescribed fires nationwide for one
month. (from http://www.cnn.coml)
UC Berkeley's graduation ceremonies
were disrupted last week by protests against
Secretary of State Madeline Albright, the
event's keynote speaker. Before being
removed by campus police, protestors
heckled Albright and unfurled a banner
reading "Albright is a war criminal." Before
the event. a plane flew around the campus
with the banner "1.7 Million Iraqis Dead.
End Sanctions Now." Berkley's top senior
also condemned Iraqi sanctions during her
speech. (from http://www.sfgate.coml).

it. (from http://dailynews.yahoo.com)
Appearing briefly on NBC's MMeet the

major cuts in military spending. Nader also
criticized Gore's environmental record and
both candidates' commitment to expanding

NBC's "Meet the Press", May 7, 2000)
Flipping his stance on medical

experts whose judgmenll trust, that it is the
proper medication for pain and that there are

December Gore stated "where you have
sufficient controls, I think that doctors ought
to have that option. " (from http://
washingtonpost.coml)
Karl Sandstrom of the Federal Election
Commission warned earlier this week that
federal campaign finance laws are "in serious
jeopardy of losing all effectiveness." Rapid
increases in spending by "Section 527"
groups and "Soft Money" contributors are
blamed for many of the problems. 527's are
organizations that run ads for or against
particular candidates without formerly
making donating to a candidates campaign,
such as the "Republicans for Clean Air" a
group of two Texans who, in addition to
directly funding Bush's campaign, ran $2.5

refers to money donated to a political party
that ends up being given to a particular

FOREIGN RELATIONS
Several of the U.S.'s major
environmental lobby groups have joined
human rights and labor activists in calling for
the Clinton adminislration to deny China
permanent "Normal Trade Relations" (NTR)
stalus. The groups are worried that
permanent NTR status will lead to U.S.
businesses exploiting weaker environmental,
labor, and human rights laws in China. (from

Clinton issued an executive order last
week which would protect African generic

U.S. based multinational pharmaceutical
companies. According to the1998 U. N.
report, between 10-20 percent of South
Africans have HIV or AIDS. (from http://

Human rights organizations called on
the Senate to defeat a proposed $1.6' billion

Ignorance about whale hunt
ultimate arrogance'
Tom Townsend, in questiuning the
Makah nation's hunt of gray whale asks,
"Where should the line be drawn on one's
right to heritage?"' Federal law based on a
treaty the U.S. entered into with the Makah'
nation in 1855 draws the line. The treaty,
which was ratified by the United States
Congress in 1855, is the law of the land under
the U.S. Constitution and has been upheld by
the federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court.
A treaty with any Indian nation is as valid and
contemporary as the Bill of Rights.
Like many people who have and do
oppose the assertion of these treaty rights,
Townsend makes the odd argument that the
current hunt doesn't quality as a traditional
hunt becauseoftheuse of modern equipment
such as powerboats and rifles. This is akin to
arguing that the 1st amendment, ratified in
L791 requires that all citizens wishing to

exercise freedom of speech do so in 18th determine what is culturally appropriate for
century English and use scribes to publish their th e Makah. Certai nly, there is some
newspapers. It is also arguing that under the disagreement in the community about the

added that most students wanted to see some changes: keep the
dorms open or lock them only at night. The interesting part, Segawa
said, was that only three to four women were at the meeting.
"You know, we didn't have a totally balanced population here.
We need to dig into this some more."
So the Housing staff posted an internet survey with four
questions for students to answer. 62 responses came through and
38 said they'd be comfortable with all residents having access to all
buildings.
Segawa said that wasn't a large enough vote to convince him.
"It's not necessarily a majority rules situation," he saidespecially when it's about safety. "It was enough for me to say we're
going to leave things the way they are."
Chuck McKinney, resident life director, said the lock downs
have made a huge difference. "It's night and day. "
"There's a sense of'! can leave my door open, I can walk around
in my pajamas.'"
He said that's why he thinks it's actually helped to boost
community. He agrees with Segawa that residents are pretty
supportive.
"For the most part," he said. "I don't think it's an issue with the
residents. People have adjusted. I wonder if Richard wasn't here if
we would've heard anything."
McKinney said the times have changed since he was a student
in 1974. Instead of hundreds of students coming straight from high
school, he said many used to start out between 22 and 25 years old.
"It was a different environment."
If the lock down would've happened in those days, "the
founding faculty would've just packed up and left."
But he said that in the last five or six years, some things have
become hard to control. The messy kitchens, balcony throwing, and
vandalism are just a few.
Like all things, he said, Evergreen must be wil!ing to change to
fit the times.
Still, Richard doesn't buy it. He said he feels as if the Housing
staff has given up on solutions, collaboration and--primarily--the
students.
"It's just bullshit," he s2id. "That's the way I see it. Social
inclusion is certaintly not high on Mike's list."
He said participation is the key to everything Evergreen works
towards. It veers us away from isolation ,' consumerism, and
totalitarianism while helping us retain students and build
community.
"I see Housing directly violating this in how they interact with
students."
The staff' waits around for students to do the work, he said,
and for students to yell loud enough. And after they yell, they
graduate and their voices go to the wind.
"Next year that input is in a book," he said. "Another year and
this will never be an issue.
"That's horrible in my mind."

Richard Myers bangs on locked doors--nobody's home.

Abe Ingle
Lives in A dorm.
This is his first year.
"I think it's pretty lame. I think it takes away from
community. I don't know. I haven't come into any
problems where I think that kind of security is
needed. If it 's happened to a couple of people,
maybe it's good for them. Probably good for some
people but bad for others."

"I think it 's bullshit. I was one of the organizers
of one of the first surveys that went around-the
first petition-about gethng the lockdown taken
off. Personally I think it 's destructive to the
. community. And I do understand how unlocked
doors and people stealing stuff can be a
destructive element in the community, but I've
got a lock on my door to my room as does every
room and if people don 't take responsibility to
lock their doors, that's gonna happen-that's life.
This is college where we learn about life. If people don't want to take care of their
own stuff and they constantly have a security system taking care of it for them,
when they do get out in the rea l world and th ey don't have that security system,
they're going to run into problems probably. I think it would be good and beneficial
in all respects for people to learn to live without a system lockdown and there
may he some hard lessons to learn from that like getting a stereo stolen or
so mething very valuable, but sometimes those lessons are the best lessons we get."

"I think it's a stupid idea. I th ink that it kind of segregates the freshman

of how destructive people were last year when there was just mixed
people in A building. But I think that it does segregate fresh~an into
that building and they don't get the experience that the Evergreen
students from before this year have gotten because they're stuck in one
building and tlley don't get to meet all the upperclassmen and all that.
It's more of a feeling now of a normal college where there's upper class
and then the little freshman ."

The Music and Dance ofAfrica
By Andrea Williams

Much ofa culture is illustrated through ill; arts.
Most art originating in the United States expresses the
individuality and personal creativity of the artist.
However, in cultures more focused on living within a
l'Ommunity, one can find art shaped by the collective
creativity and experience ofa people.
The music and dance of stich lultures teaches
children about life history and religion. In this way a
l'Ommunity is tied together. By learning the music and
dance of a foreign culture, we in the U.S. can begin to
und!T.itand the people of that culture, perhaps more
so than by reading books. With this in mind, the
Evergreen Percussion Gub and local musician Scott
Sand!T.i have worked to bring a bit of West African
culture to Olympia.
On Wednesday, May 17, the PerCUSSion Gub
hosted Guinean artists AboubacarCamara and Sekou
Sylla in teaching free African dance and drumming
workshops on the Evergreen campus. Those who
missed these exciting evenll; have yet anotller chance
to learn with Aboubat<lr and Sekou.
TIle fullowing day, on May 18, workshops ,viII
be held at Madison Elementary School, on the comer
of 8th Avenue and Central Street. TIle drumming
workshop will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and
the dance workshop will last from 8 p.m. until 9:30
p.m. Each individual workshop will cost $15. TIle two
workshops together will cost only $25 per person. a
small price to pay for the teachings of Aboubacar and
Sekou.
Aboubacar is no stranger to Olympia or to
Evergreen. TIle Percussion Gub hosted a workshop
featuring his talents earlier this year, which was
extremely successfu1 and left all participants anxious
to learn more. lie also joined the Evergreen program
Musicand Danceoffirazi1 and the Caribbean for aclass

retreat at the beginning of the spring quarter.
Aboubacar began dancing at the age of 9 and
quickly leamed many of the numerous and varied
dances ofGuinea, West Africa. At age 16 bewas invited
to join the National Ballets d'Afrique de Guinea.
Aboubacar not only became the company's lead
dancer, but assisted in choreography as well.
Aboubacar toured Africa and Europe gaining the
acclaim of such artists as Alpha Yaya Diallo, who
brought Aboubacar to his present home in British
Colombia. Aboubacar now leads his own group in the
West African tradition called Doundounba Music and
Dance, which tours Canada and is now gaining
recognition in the U.S.
"Dance in Gttinea is akin to religion. It is the pulse
of everyday life, it is the song. the breath and the spirit
oftheGuinean peoples," Aboubacar is quoted assaying
in the Comox Valley Echo.
Before Aboubacar decided to take up dancing.
he apprentict'(\ himselfto master drummerSekou Sy lla
in playing the djembe (a trad itional West African
Drum).
Sekou Sylla began drumming as a child by
tuming butter cans into drums. By the age 15. after
leaving school to pursue his musical ambitions, SyUa
wal playi ng the cljemhe profes.~ionally in Ballet Federal
Conakry I and his talent has carried him to lead
dnlmlning positions in numerous other ensembles.
Sekou is l1lITcntly apart ofAboubacar's Doundounba
Music and Dance.
Prior to the workshops Scott Sanders will open
hl' house at 1516SE81h Avenue (aLToss the street from
Madison Elementary) for a reception and IXltluck ..
During this time all workshop attendees are welcome
to ml'et and talk tu the guest artists. All people
interested are advised to contact Scott at 943-5804 to

was soaked deep black with all
the coffee spilt in this epic

As prices go, it looks like
Wolfgang's Fine Foods reigns
victorious - winning out with
the lowest prices for !attes and

the battlefield bearing the

Bread and Roses: Past, Present & Future
Serving up community optimism in the face offear and doubts by some

Volunteers prepare meals for up

10

150 peop le , rwice a day

~COMMENTARY

by Sara h Fox
On May 1, 1933, journalist Dorothy Day
and philosopher Peter Maurin came together
to begin publication of a newspaper called
"The Catholie Worker". hoping to promote
values ofjustice. compassion. and mercy in the
midst of the Great Depression. Not long after
beginning the newspaper, the visionary pair
opened a house of hospitality where
inwoverished community members could seek

food and shelter. The Catholic Worker
movement would grow and spread across the
country, motivating Americans to provide
service in their own communities.
On May 7 of this year, 67 years afier the
Catholic Worker began, Olympia's own
Ca tholic Worker House of Hospitality, Bread
and Roses, hosted an appreciation luncheon
for its vo lunteer staff. At the luncheon,
volunteers reflected on their experiences
serving meals to the hungry of Olympia, and
applauded at the statistics organizers shared

with
them:
an
estimated 100 ,000
meals are now served
eve ry year at Bread
Roses,
by
and
approximately 500
vo lu nteers on )3
different crews. The
majority of the se
crews are groups from
Chri stian churches,
but there are others,
includin g a group
from Olympia 's Jewish
Temp le, and the
Co mmunity
for
Interfa ith Celebration.
Non-religious groups
also crew at Bread and
Roses, including KEY
club students and
groups of staff from
various
Olympia
offices
and
organizations. The
statistics
are
impressive, as is the
dedication of many of
the volun teers. The
crews
purchase,
prepare and serve almost all the food for lunch
and dinner at the kitchen, six days a week, year
round.
However, despite the optimism and
commitment of many volunteers, there are
reasons to be concerned about the future of
Bread and Roses. A large number of the
kitchen's volunteers are senior citizens, and
while they constitute some of the best
volunteers at Bread and Roses, many are
concerned about who will take over when they
are no longer able to contribute their time and

energy. Unfortunately, despite the presence of
a number of younger volunteers, the inevitable
departure of these senior volunteers will have
a huge impact on Bread and Rose's abilities to
provide services to the community.
There is also the issue of volunteer
turnover. Students who put in time at Bread
and Roses for school projects, or who come to
the kitchen hoping to gain "volunteer time" for
college llppli ca tions, often stay only long
enough to get the information or hours they
need. Others commit themselves to serving at
the kitchen but leave the area when they
grad uate or when they tire of the service.
Volunteer burn-out is a major sou r[e of
turnover.
Another issu e of concern for thos e
affi liated with Bread and Roses is the negative
attitude some Olympia businesses harbor
toward the kitchen. Some of the local business
owners see the guests as detrimental to the
appeal of the neighborhood and express
discomfort with their loitering around the
kitchen. This was a major source of conflict in
the mid· nineties that has recently resurfaced.
While there is significant community
support for the kitchen, mostly in the form of
volunteer work and donated food, the negative
sentiments expressed towards Bread and Roses
signify the need for a larger community
discussion on homelessness and poverty in
Olympia. These issues cannot be satisfactorily
addressed until the community, as a whole,
better understands them. Bread and Roses
understands this and tries to promote
community awareness through its various
volunteer crews and community connections.
If you are interested in learning more about
Bread and Roses, volunteering there, or
supporting it in any other way, please contact

The Evergreen Ultimate Frisbee team (a,k.a.
Incognito Libido) hosted the ultimate frisbee
tourney last weekend. By far the rawest team
around, they may have lost every game (including
the boat races at that evening's festivities) but
they still worked it like a rib. The Metallic Peas of
Corvallis won the whole dang thing, taking with
them all the glory and the women. Ultimate
Frisbee embodies all that is good about this world
and the team encourages everyone to play.
