S&A Board spends your money
jOt; Groshong
Last Wednesday the S &A Board met tor about six hOUfS in CAB 315.111e meeting
was ~Ie bigge.t and longest ofthe year and by lheendafit the Board had allocated nearly
$300,000 among 47 student groups, the CRC, the Olild Care Center, KAOS, and the S &
A Adminbtration.
The S & A Board, as some :mow and solne don't, is a student group itself.111e
decisions regarding each group's requestwere madeentire1y by the students on the Board.
This year the Board cut over $150,000 from the total amount requested by the
various groups in order to meet constraint ofthe available $311,000 this year. Something
that many studentgroops and othen; may not knowis that Evergreen reached its projection
numbers earlier than expected. While this has a number of implications, it means that
whilethe amount of money the Board had available to allocate rose steadily over the past
several years, it stabilized this year. The Board did not have a significant increase in available
funds to meet an increased request this year.
The fimds managed by the S &A Board are only available to student groups and
theCRC, CCC, KAOS,S&A Admin, andCP). Notall student groups are funded; there are

After visiting campus last year the Northwest
Commission on Colleges, Evergreen's accrediting agency said,
"Evergreen is not succeeding in meeting either its own goals,
orthose oftheiNorthwestl Commission on Colleges.for liberal
education ... "
This conclusion was reached, in part, by data provided
from Planning Units, college-wide self-studies (i.e. in 1996 a
sample study of 400 graduating seniors was analyzed and found
that 39 percent had no art credit, 33 percent had no science
credit, and 30 percent had no math credit), and other
institutional research. As a result, Barbara Smith, the Provost,
has challenged the General Education DTF to find solutions
that will please the Commission and are in keeping with
Evergreen's unique approach to learning.
On Thursday, April 27, three student representatives from
the Gen. Ed. DTF-Kelli Sanger, Sasha Schworm, and Bern
Esposito-held a public forum in the library lobby to talk with
students and update them on the DTF's progress.
It wasn't long before Sanger was asked how much of this
would affect everybody in the audience, especially regarding

Evergreen students are gathered at
yet another potluck-a potluck with
intent. This potluck. held biweekly in
front orthe Housing COllllllunity CCllter
is entitled SUN-day and brings sllIdents
together over hot dogs and Matzo.
Robert Morrison has spent most of
the evening talking to people and trying
toofferanyollrin his presence a hot dog.
Hr's the one that kicked-oft'the idea of the
Student Unity Network, or SUN , and he
hopes it helps to bind the ties students
have to their commun ity.
SUN puts on more than potlucks:
they have sponsored a dialogue to
promote the awareness of sexual assault
and held a community meeting to plan
the future of the group. They are also
start ing somethi ng ca lled the 'Ge t Hi'
campa ign, a plan to get members of
housing to say 'hi' to one another when
they pass.
"I want to be comfortable enough '
to feel unity all campus, something like
school spirit," sa id Annie Molloy Hill, a
supporter of SUN .
The group is not 3n'ollicial' student
group and does not have a roster of
members. Instead, SUN isaiming to align
all student groups, make housing more
comfortable and create an information
network on the Evergreen web-site, all to
promote community on campu~:
"Everyone should have an
opportunity, everyone should be a part
ofit," said Morrison.
It all started when he attended a
student govemment mreting. He accused
the facilitatofs of the student government
of misrepresenting the student~ and
inappropriately interjecting their own
ideas. In response, Morrison started
work 011 SIN, a section of the Evergreen '
web-si te devoted to the communication
of student groups. After SIN was
abandoned, Morrison decided that ifthe
people didn't come to him he would go
to the people.
He began SUN by holding a
community meeting. At the meeting,
students decided 'creating community'
should occur through th['organization of
student groups and hOIl~il1g rrsidel1t~,
and getting SIN operational ag:lin. Afier
the meeting, he knockt,u un rvery door

Annie Molloy Il ill got involved
because she wanted to feel like her
campus was a "space lor everyone. "
Joshua Eberle said he had "no rra~;on not
to join."
About 30 students gatlmed at the
potluck. About that many more came
through for some free Moulltain Dew 011
their way up campus. "I understand why
they're doing this," said Ken Koontz while
roasting a bratwurst, "but I don't know
how effective it is." As promised everyone

graduation expectations or requirements.
"If you're already here, you don't have to do this," she
said.
A collective sigh of relief, and some whooping followed.
But most students stuck around, and almost 50 forms filled
with comments got collected to take back to the DTF.
Students talked about the possibility of requirements,
expectations, cross-divisional study, and Academic Plans. The
biggest fears were over quantitative reasoning, described
simply as math.
"Why aren't Greeners taking math?" a student asked.
"They don't have to '" shouted back another. Cheers
ensued.
"I don't think stude nts want to see the word 'req uire'
anywhere," said Schworm, reporting to th e DTF this week
about the forum. Most DTF members chuckled or smiled a
knowing smile.
Brian Price, the chair.of the DTF, addressed the whole
business of quantitative reasoning, saying it needs to be "...
quantitative reasoning contextualized, only contextualized.
"What I don't want to see is requirements on students
for quantitative reasoning when faculty don't have it. That'~
victim blaming in the worst."
"I could get excited about being the first school to get
quantitative reasoning across the curriculum," said Virginia
Darney.
Lee Lyttle agrees. "We don't have the t's crossed or i '~
dotted," he said, "but we can have a strategic plan by adding
resources, hiring people, and not leaving faculty out there
floundering."
Math, of course, isn't th e on ly concern about breadth in
learning at Evergreen. It does seem, though, that quantitative
reasoning is one of the hottest topics for the DTF, and does
illustrate the issue as a whole.
One student at the forum asked, "W hy does the task force
have to disappear?" An implementation DTF is planned for
next year, but aside from that, it seems like a good question.
Figuring out how students can go a mile wide and an inch deep
in their studies is not an easy ta sk, but student input has
helped.
SOOIl the DTF will present their plans to the facult y. and
then the Board of Trustees. Student input is welcome until
then.

to every part of the state, but hits Pierce County
especially hard."
Pierce Cou nt y acco unts for about 40
percent of meth sites identified statewide. The
numbers are growing for the county, and for
the state as a whole-from 54 sites statewide
in 1995 to 789 in 1999, and 362 in the first
three months of2000.
The budget adopted la st week includes
$749,000 Gary requested to increase the
Department of Eco logy's cleanup staff. Last
year, the Legislature approved the governor's
$12 million request for a dedicated meth lah
response team in th e Washington State Patrol.
which provides the so le law enforcement
response to labs in 37 counties and is also
availab le when requested in Pierce and King
counties.
In 1998, the Legislature approved Gary's
request to increase sentences for
manufacturing crank, from two years to five
years for the first offense. Last month, he
signed legislation making it a felony to possess
anhydrous ammonia, another chemical used
in methamphetamine manufacture. He also
signed a bill adding two years to the sentence
for making crank if a ch ild is present on the
premises. Senator Marilyn Rasmussen of
Pierce County was the prime sponsor of both
recent bills.
Last year, the governor proposed a $4
million annual grant to Pierc e County for
comprehensive anti-drug programs, including
prevent ion. trea tm ent and law enforceme nt.

approved a proposal to offer th e cO llnty
temporary assistance fTOm the Na tiona l Guard
to respond to a dramat ic in crease in
methamphetallline m;lnufa cturing in the
county.
Methamphetamine, commonly known
as meth. amp, cra nk , or crystal. is a stimulant
that worb directly on th e ce ntral nervOIlS
system. Perhaps becallse it can increase
alertn(,ss and activit y levels, meth is most
poplllar amongst yO llng blue-co ll ar workers
and coll ege student>.
The key ingredient is ephedrine. Since
this substance is strictly contro ll ed,
manufacturers obtain it by purchasing cold
and asthma medications containing
psuedoephredine, then strip away th~ buffers
with hydrochloric acid, HydrochloriC acid is
also contro ll ed, but can be obtained by
combining iodine and red phosphorous. For
a few hundred dollars worth of ingredients,
thousands of dollars in crank can be made.

Someone finds a Gibson guitar on the Comm building loading deck. Now,
who would leave something like that up there. Perhaps a horrible band breakup led to too many bad emotional associations with this guitar. Thus, the
person needed to exorcise the memories ... the horrible, painful. gutwrenching memories. Oh, wait, that was just my band. Never mind, someone
probably just forgot it.

ground to a halt, forming a vast stillness
surrounding the intersection's packed
throng. Top Foods and Barnes & Noble
workers leaned on their counters
overlooking their nearly deserted superstores. The State Patrol closed off two
ramps exiting 101 while Olympia police
held off drivers throughout the space
between the highway and the Capital Mall.
As dusk began to settle in the crowd

attempted to direct the crowd to Yauger
Park to allow the streets to clear. The
procession reformed and began to move
but did not stop at the park. Instead the
crowd continued down Cooper Point
Road, past Yauger and past Safeway, to
hang a right onto Harrison .
Up the hill at Kenyon Street the
procession stopped near the Target
shopping complex to join those
constructing the Secret Garden. Winding
down a newly cleared dirt path,
Maydayers trickled into the garden space
that had been claimed during the
afternoon.
Maple and pine seedlings were
distributed and shovels were shared.
·Plant some trees I Take this land back

Guerrilla Gardeners pointing to the stripmall developments looming behind him
and across the street.
By about 8 p.m., as the dark clouds
overhead began to drizzle light rain ,
Maydayers gathered around the garden's
central maypole. To the beat of drums a
group danced, weaving yellow and white
ribbons down to the mud at the foot of the
pole, capping off a near ten hours of
Mayday festivities.

I chose not to because I don 't feel that it really applies to my life and I

Actually, I was sick last Monday. That's about the only reason- I'm

Some people believe that May 5 is Mexican
Independence Day, they are wrong. Mexico
declared its independe nce from Spain on
September 16. 1810. Other people believe that
May 5 is a date someone ca me up with a long
time ago asan excuse topartyanddrink Coronas.
They are wrong as well.
Fro m th e mom ent it beca me an
independent nation, Mexico suffered numerous
setbacks in its attempts to form a stable republic.
Only fifteen years into its independence it was
forced to surrender approximately half of its
territory to the u.s.. as a result , Mexico
underwent a severe economic crisis during the

President BenitoJuarez inherited Mexico's
troubled political and financial situation, which
included a bankrupt Mexican treasury. Due to
these problems, he.issued a moratorium in 1861
halting payments on Mexican foreign debt. The
English, Spanish and French refused to allow
president Juarez to do this and instead decided
to invade Mexico and get payments by whatever
means necessary. The Spanish and English
eventually withdrew; however, the French army,
governed by Emperor Napoleon III. had other
plans.
With these French troops came
Maximilian, Prince of Hapsburg, and his wife,
Charlotte. Napoleon's idea consisted in taking
over Mexico, now that it was rid of Spain, to
create the New Mexican Empire as a French
colony. The French Army had not been defeated
in 50 years and it invaded Mexico with the finest
modern equipment and with a newly
r~con s tituted Foreign Legion. The French were
not afraid of anyone.
The French Army left the port of Vera cruz
to attack Mexico City, since the French assumed
that th e Mexicans would give up once their
capitalfeUtotheenemy- as European countries
traditionally did. Under the command ofTexasborn General Ignacio Zaragosa, the Mexicans
awaited. Brightly dressed and fully equipped
French Dragoons led the enemy column, . The
Mexican Army was far less stylish and had very
little resources.
In order to reach Mexico City, the French
troops had to cross the City of Puebla located
<tbout 100 miles east of their objective. During
the morn ing hou rs of May 5, 1862, General
Zaragoza led 5.000 ill·equipped Mestizo and
Zapotec Indians into battle. Two hours later. the
French army of about 8,000 had been defeated.
This event came to be known as "La Batalla de
Puebla". Despite tremendous odds, the humble
Mexican Army defeated the most powerful
fight ing
uni t
In
the
world !
One year after "La Batalla de Puebla", the
French brought in more troops and re·attacked.
This time they were able to make their way to
Mexico City, take the capital, and install Emperor
Maximilian of Hapsburg as the reignin g
monarch of Mexico. Maximilian ruled for
almost four years. until his execution in 1867 by
troops loyal to President Juarez, who regained
power.
Although the Mexican army was eventually
defeated, "La Batalla de Puebla" came to
represent Mexican unity and patriotism. With
this victory, Mexicans demonstrated to the world
that Mexicoand all of Latin America were willing
to defend themselves from any foreign
intervention. Especially those from imperialist

Cinco de Mayo is not celebrated in Mexico
to the same extent that it is by Chicanos in the U.
S. The reason that Chicanos celebrate the holiday
is due to appreciation ofits cultural significance
(vi ctory in the face of great odds and the
patriotism it generated) more that its- historical
relevan c~. Also, General Ignacio Zaragosa. the
leader at "La Batalla de Puebla", was born in
Texas whife it was still part of Mexico. For this
reason, he is considered by many to be the first
Chicano hero.
So this is whywe hOllor and celebrate Cinco
de Mayo today. At The Evergreen State College,
LASO and MEC HA have joined effort s to
promote the signiticanceofthis memorable date.
extending its original meaning to one ofdiversity
and solidarity where people from all ethnical
backgrounds are encouraged to join in one voice:
VIVA CINCO DE MAYO!
Please join us in the free events we have
organized for Cinco de Mayo Week:
On Wednesday, May3, live la vida loea with

The next day, May 4, MES students have

When I was travelling in the Czech rep., Prague and other places, I was doing
a lot of reading on what had happened to the people there during the communist
regime-the Soviet regime-and Mayday was adopted as the workers holiday by
the party and forced on the people as something they had to participate in. They
had a long list of names and they would cross people's names off if they didn't
show up. So, for a lot of people over there and a lot of people that I know, it's a
symbol of oppression and their governments way of oppressing them and forcing
them into the march. That's what it means to me and that's why I don't participate.

TIlefoodsituation on campus has become rather
annoying as oflate. I never have had a reaUy terrible
meal at Evergreen and Ilike dle (mostly) friendly staff
at dle Deli quite a bit. Yet sometimes it seems that the
kicdlen isn't even trying. I mean potato soup is not
made widl potato bud~ and water when ingredients
are short. And Clam Chowder should be opaque and
creamy, not clear broth.
So I am a bit of a gourmand, but anyone can
open a can oflvar's Clam chowder, dump in a can of
milk, and make good clam chowder (like Clancy's
does). So why does Old Country Buffet have better

organic, too. Heckifdley bought CSA shares from dle
local farmers market they could save money, And the
Farmer's market is open on nllirsdays and Fridays,
too, for pick up.
Why do people assume the local stufflvill co~t

probably go Lo Costco, tllC Farmers Market, and the

students carefully budget resources? Maybe there
should be a future inquiry on starting aculinary school

I read an article written by a gentleman that
once was head of the Young Democrats club
when he was in college. He said that Ralph Reed
went to school with him and (surprise surprise)
Ralph Reed was president of the school's Young
Republicans, In case you don't know, he was the
former head of the Christian Coalition. .
The author stated that, after meetings, the
young Democrats would go off together and get
stoned, while the young Republicans would get
drunk together. He was trying to show the
difference between the two trains of social and
political thought. I think there is some merit to
his analogy.
Evergreen is known to many people for its
left of center political beliefs and alternative
world views. This is not the kind of school you
should go to if you own more than one Celine
DionCD.
Evergreen's also got a disease , it's called
reefer madness. I would bet my bottom dollar
that there is more pot smoking on campus
anytime day or night than anywhere else in
Thurston County. Evergreen is renowned forthat
as well. We are the personification of a liberal
arts school. Our student body would be on the
pot smoking young Democrats side of the
dichotomy. That's all well and good, but there's
no duality in that and I don 't think we can be
pigeonholed so easily.
There is a ton of drinking on campus.
.Seems like every time I walk past the dumpsters
by student housing the bottle and can bin is
overflowing. Simply stated, we need a bar on
campus.
I was chatting with some of my roommates,
I wanted to find out if Evergreen is a completely
dry campus. I have never been in the cafeteria at
the bottom of the CAB, so I asked if you could
get a beer in there. One of my roommates looked
at me like I was crazy. He thought it was a stupid
question because the idea ofcoUeges that permit
and, to a degree condone alcohol was alien to
him Just like modt of his generation_ Year after
year the number of dry campuses increases. This
trend alarms me_ Personally I think that out of
all the things that this school needs a campus bar
is right up there. It would show that Evergreen
doesn't need to conform to political correctness
like other colleges and ban alcohol like 1920's
moral puritans.
I know some people reading this will say,
"Sure Kris, a bar on campus would be a good for
you. You 'd be able to get your daily morning fix
before class, but don't you think there'd be more
sexual assault and alcohol related driving
accidents on campus?"
Nuts to that! I think those two arguments
are erroneous. First of all, the majority of people
(men and women) on ca mpus are so homely you
can't drink them pretty. Access to firewater on
campus won't increase the fire iii Greener's loins.
If there was a bar here at Evergreen less people
would be driving into Olympia to get drunk. It
logically follows that less would be would be
driving back hopped up on the hooch. If
anything a bar on campus would decrease the
amount of drunk driving on campus.
Over a quarter of all students living on
campus are over 21. Seventeen percent will turn
21 this year. Acampus bar would generate a good
deal of revenue for the school and bring many
students some much needed joy. It's a no lose
situation, just like drinking itself. ~

An ethereal flying sprite. A girl who
has never seen a man. An usurped Duketurned-sorcerer. A sinuous monster in a
loincloth. Love, magi c, and redemption.
These are just a few of th e elements
whirling in the eye of Shakespeare's most
timeless and humanist comic storm.
It is "The Tempest," the Bard's
breathtaking final masterpiece and
Harlequin Productions' exquisite latest
offering, which opens tonight at the State
Theater Prospero is sorcerer and ruler of
a tropical isle on which he and his
daughter Miranda are th e sole human
inhabitants. They were shipwrecked here
twelve years before, after Pro s p ero's
brother had sto len from him his Milan
dukedom and se nt father and child to sea.
The other residents of the island are of
t he magical so rt , nymphs and fairies
whom Prospero rules with the help of
Ar iel, a spri te of the air. and Caliban, an
earthy s lave creature born of a witch.
As the play opens, Prospero has
revenge on his mind. He has just
unleashed a har sh tempe st upon the sea,
in order to wash his treacherous brother,
Anton io , to the shores of hi s realm. Also
aboard Antonio's fated sh ip are
Ferdinand, the first man Miranda will
ever see (and , accordingly, her suitor);
Ferdinand's father, King Alonso of
;\!aples; and several robust drunken
sa ilors. In due course of the
quintessentially Shakespearean magic
and mayhem which ensue. all characlers
H e I ransformed.
"T he Tempest" is a Iradilionally lush
vl,ua l spectacle, and Harlequin·s
produc ti on presents the play's magic wilh
pa rticularly lyrical dazzle. Designer jill
Ca rler ha s constructed a set of towering
overlapp ing c re scen l moons that trail
lo ng fringe, effective ly evocative of sea
foam and fronds, of storm. and of
enchantment. Comp ri sing the Inainsta ge
ilself is an oversized book, sea led with a
map compass, which holds severa l sneaky
trapdoo rs for actor entrances. A visual
allus io n to Prospero's volume of sorcery
a nd spe ll s, the stage design immediately
estab lishes the field of action ~s one
wrought with power, symbol. and
illusion.
Taking Carter's striking stage is a
magnificent cast, headed by Harlequin
veteran David Wright as Prospero.
Wright's performance renders resonant
and human the internal plight of his
troubled character, as the sorcerer
struggles first with his desire for revenge
and then with his impulse toward
forgiveness. As his daughter Miranda,
Krista Severeid, delivers an appealing
earnestness in the girl's innocence. In
movement and speech alike, Severeid
captures the best energies of youth.
Mari Nrlson, in the theatrically rich
role of Ariel, brings to the sprite
shimmering personality, ene rg y, and
physicality. Alternately manic, silly, sly,
and pensive, Nelson works marvels in
portraying the dimensions of a character
whose identity has traditionally been
somewhat mystifying.
Posing earth to Ariel 's air as the
crude monster Ca liban, G. W. Taylor is
nothing short of phenomenal. Cos tumed
only in a loincloth and dark headdress,
Taylor moves over the s ta ge on all fours
with a sleek primality, his muscular limbs
seeming to uncoil and writhe with animal
intensity.
The production 's sound design
undergirds the cast's performances with
magic in mind. Composed by Bruce
Whitney , the show's underscoring is
mystically atmosphe ric , and the music
int o which Ariel weaves her spells haunts
and glimmers. The decision to have Ariel
s in g her monologues lends her magic a
deeper power, and Ar iel herself a greater
agency .
Director Scot Whitney, whose
previous Shakespeare directing credits
include "The Two Ge ntlem e n of Veron a,"
"Ham let,'· ·'Cymbe line, " "Henry V," and
his rock 'n' roll interpretation of "Twelfth
Night," is excited about the show. Excited
e nou gh to take a giddy joyride, at a recent
rehearsal. in the harness that nies Arie l
over the stage.
"T his play is the hardest thing I've
done in my life, " he said, some time after
h e had returned to the ground. "Exce pt:
he laughed , "making the State Theater
happen."
The challenge of "The Tempest" has
been great for Whitney because of his
deep passion for the eloquence and
beauty of the play's themes .
"It's so much about redemption," he
said. "It's about raising every character in
the play to a heightened level of
humanity.
It 's
about
humanist
t ra nscendence. "
Whitney's affinity for this theme is
so strong that he has taken special care
to enhance it in his production, through
a significant and moving innovation in
his treatment of the text. His powerful
interpretation manifests itself in the
relation between Prospero and hi s
servant-sprite Ariel.
Much scholarly criticism of The
Tempesr has previously focused on this
relationship
as
emblematic
of
colonialism, the urge to subdue nature,
or othe r incarnations of cultu ral
domination. Aldous Huxley titled his
dystopian "Brave New World" after
Miranda's exclamation of wonder upon
first see ing the men from beyond the
is land, which suggests the dimensions of
interpretation that the text has received.
In Whitney's vision, however, the
relation between Prospero and Ariel
transcends that of master and magical
servant, and what emerges instead is a
pOlent and tender love. Love, indeed,
becomes exp li cit as the dominant magic
of the play. As the scenes progress,
Whitney has Ariel's fascinated gaze rest
long o n the cour ting Miranda and
Ferdinand, and imbues new mea nin g to
her line : "Master, do yo u love me?"
··A riel becomes more human, "
Whitney said simp ly . He explained that
through Ariel's exposure to the
shipw r ec ked men, . she comes to
understand love and the dimensions of
human emot ion . Prospero is already
human, but becomes more so as he loses
hi s taste for revenge and finds that his
attachme nt to Ariel exists not because of
the power her magic affords, but because
of his love for h er. Every character
undergoes a s imilar transformation, and
we're left with, as Whitney says, "a higher
ideal of the best that humans are capable
o.f "
Working completely from the text ,
Whitney successfully draws out this
humanist ideal through pacing ,
inflection, and nuance . His subtlety, skill ,
and evident passion elevate this
production of "The Tempest" into
something uncommonly moving.
"I've never seen the play handled
like this before," he said. "It really has
grown into something lovely."
"We are such stuff as dreams are
made of," Pro spero sighs of humanity's
like
ephemerality
and
wonder.
Harlequin's inspired production of "The
Tempest" is a sumptuous and stirring
celebration, in the truest spirit of that
stuff.

Meet Dave Weber
And Scott Martin
He's the new athletic director
He's the new soccer coach
by Tunk
abo by Turtle
At long last. an ath leti c director ha s
been found. Afler th e difficult process of
narrowing it dow n from "a n exce ll e nt
pool of app li ca nt s." according to Dr. Art
Costantino. Dave Weber was cho sen
because he was "everything we were
looking for - and more."
Dave
Weber ha s extensive
exper ience in both coaching athletics (he
has been the head coach of four
basketball teams and the ass istant coach
of basketball. baseball, and softball
teams) and in athletics administration
(he has been the athletics director of
Patten College in Oakland, CA and for
Dominican College in San Rafael. CAl.
He has enjoyed his coaching days but is
ready to move on. He wants to devote all
of his energies to being a director because
Eve rgreen "needs someone to oversee
recreation and athletic programs on a
day-to-day basis and can't afford time
spen t elsew here ." Besides, "John Barbee
(the Men's Bas ketball coach) is a great
coac h'."
Mr. Weber is leaving Patten Co ll ege
in order t o accept the position her e:
When he got to Patten in 1994, there was
only one int erco ll eg iate spor ts teamthey now have six.
He was quite exc it ed to accept the
posi ti on here because he was impressed
WIth our "ou tst anding faci lities [and our]
rep utation for academic innovation."
This exc itement will hopefully aid him in
ach ieving success with the daunting ta sks
at hand. His biggest challenge is to
brea the new life into our athletic
prog ram which ha s not had a team finish
above .500 (mea nin g th at we lose more
games than we win) si nce th e 1995 mell's
and women's soccer seaso n. There are
a l,o plans to add volleyball :1I1d cross
cou ntr y teams during the 200 1-2002
sc hoo l year.
Dave Weber has contp let ed th e
requir ements for hi s Bac helor of Arts in
Ph ys ic al Education in 1983 from the
Universit yoI' La Verne and he is currently
pursuing his master 's degree in spor ts
and fitne ss management from the
University of Sa n Francisco. He will
graduat e there in jun e of this year and,
shortly therea fter, will assume the post of
athletic director here on july 1.
In addition to his extensive
experience in athletic coaching and
administration, he has also assisted local
and national media in coverage of 10
men's and seven women's intercollegiate
teams for the University of La Verne and
worked at three newspapers (Santa Rosa ,
Ca lifornia's Press Democrat, The
Sacramento Union in Sacramento, : A.
and The Valley Tim es in Pleasanton,
CA .) where he reported on a variety of
sports events, including horse racing , the
N BA , major league baseball , and high
sc hool and college ac tiviti es.
This appointment is a long awaited
relief for Mike Segawa, who has been the
interim athletic director sin ce Pete
Steilberg's retirement last year.
There is a lot of hope and excitement
all th e wav around for Dave's arrival. All
in dication s are that the Geoducks will
have a bright future under his direction.
The Evergreen State Co ll ege filled its lone
coach ing vacancy today, as th e Recreation and
At hletics department announced Scott Martin
as the new Geoduck men 's soccer coach.
Martin replaces Dennis jones , who
resigned in january after his squad struggled to
an 0-18-1 record in 1999, and 6-30-1 over his two
seasons on the tideflats.
"I know that we have an opportunity to
move forward, " sa id Martin. "With superior
facilities and a new athletic direction, this is th e
perfect fit for me.
The 41-year-old native of Wisconsin has
lived in Olympia with his wife Ellen and their
four children for the past four years. Martin
assisted with the Geoduck program in 1997
under head coach john Wedge. He went on to
assist at Gonzaga University in 1998, and
currently coaches with the Black Hills Football
Club.
Before heading to the Northwest, Martin
was credited with revitalizing the University of
Wiconsin-Eau Claire women's soccer program.
He led the Blugolds, an NCAA Division III
school, to five straight winning seasons. His
teams placed second in the Wisconsin
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference four
times, and had a 61-36-4 record (.624 winning
percentage) during his tenure.
"We are excited to have Scott as our new
socce r coac h," sa id Associate Director of
Recreation and Athleticsjanette Parent. "He has
proven in the past that he can turn a program
around, along with the ability to develop a sense
of responsibility amongst the players."
Martin has previously coached in Europe
and will bring a new coaching philosophy to

coaches and learn Dutch styles of coaching in
Europe," Martin remarked. "My team's are

The Evergreen progra m struggled at

recorded more than 30 yellow cards and three

of coaching, my teams have had two red ca rds.
Player, won't play if th ey are not team

The Geoducks have not had a winning
season since coach Sean Bushey led the team
to a 10-6 -2 mark in 1995. "I start on the
recruiting trail today." Martin replied.
"Hopefully, tuition waivers in the future will
help bring in accomplished players. Things
won't change overnight, but I ca n assure that
Evergreen will be very competitive this
season."
In any case, interested peoplecan examine the
initial recommendations outside ofKAOS or in CAB
