New curriculum options

How does Evergreen expand breadth and
depth in the academic programs it olfers? Will
certain programs be required for graduation? will
the coUege offer more 12 credit filU·time programs
so students can take four credit courses in other
academic disciplines?
Tht'S(' are just a few of the i.'i.~ues the general

complete a proposal to prt'S('nt to the Northwest

The commission recommended, "The

Barbara Smith, college provost and 'vice

commission's concerns.

According to a committee progress report. the

could becon'le a "roe:;tival of Learning" so students
could study other academic areas in "broadly
conceived thematic programs."
The Cross-Divisional Option would provide
"interdisciplinary, thematic, team-taught
coordinated studies programs," in a variety of
academic disciplines. Students would be required
to earn two quarters of credits in one of these
progn>ms.
Finally, the 124 option would require that
some full·time programs be 12 credits so ~1Udents
could take four c!'edits per quarter in other academic
disciplines.

Student Employment Office established
by Noah Michel
On April 10, the Student Employment
Office, or SEO will open its doors to Evergreen.
This new office, which will find a home
downstairs in the Library next to Student
Accounts, will take responsibility for assigning
student jobs through the college, resolving any
issues between student·employees and their
employers and helping Evergreen move to a
twice-a·month pay period. In preparation for
the SEO, Jesse Welch, Evergreen's Dean of
Enrollment Programs, along with a committee
of students and faculty, have hired a Director
of Student Employment, jose Dominguez.
The decision to add the new office to
Evergreen's expanding campus came from a
series of Disappearing Task Force (DTF)
meetings. The job of the DTF was to analyze
and deduce the problems within student
employment and illustrate a solution. The
DTF, chairtd by Laura Grabhorn and made of
faculty, student employees, and members of
the Union of Student Workers, was arranged
in November of last year after a studentempJoyee march across Red Square in protest
of the once-a-month pay period and the rising
interest in the future of student employment.
The DTF's findings concluded that to solve the
problems facing employment at Evergreen the
college would have to organize and heighten

efforts and establish an office that could
complete these tasks.
Steve Hughes, the Coordinator for the
Union of Student Workers is excited about the
new SEO. "Studen t employment will be
administrated better," he said. The Union of
Student Workers helps student workers
organize and get what they need from their
employers. Before the SEO, the USW had to
work with the entire administration. Now the
new office cr.eates a mediator between the
students and the school.
The Union of Student Workers can be
credited with bringing the issues of student
employment to light after confronting the
administration in a series of meetings. When
the administration asked the Union to focus
on one issue, the once-a-month paychecks took
center stage. Hughes stated that Evergreen
employees were the only State workers in
Washington paid once a month.
Art Costantino, vice·president ofstudent
affairs, helped make the decision that a DTF
was in order after the Union made its demands.
Financial Aid, who has been in charge of most
of student employment since the advent ofthe
SEO raised concerns. Also, student employees
in Housing were concerned that students were
doing work, such as electrical wiring that only
Union workers should be doing.
Costantino credits the student workers
in Housing, particularly Todd Smith, who chairman on the DTF and one of the members
served as co·chairman. '''My concern in all this ofthe committee that chose Dominguez as the

Reasons to protest the IMP/World Bank
~COMMENTARY
by : Narhaniel
Lar~<.:n
They're doing it again! Following the
massive success of last November's protest
against the World Trade Organization in
Seattle. thousands of committed, informed
people from all over the world are coming
together once again to oppose the injustice of
neo-liberal globalization.
They will descend upon Washington ,
D. C. to shut down the annual meeting of th e
dirt'ctors of the International Monetary Fund
(lMF) and the World Bank. April 16 and 17.
These international finance institutions
originate from the same July 1944 conference
held in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire that
spawned the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade (GATT), the predecessor to the
World Trade Organization. Together, these
bodies serve as the three-headed governing
monster of the global economy.
Not surprisingly, the major players in the
design of these institutions were the US and
England, who emerged from World War II
with the most economic power, and thus the
most to gain (or lose) through future economic
practices. According to Kevin Danaher of
Global Exchange, "in order to ensure a liberal,
capitalist world economy [the "free market"]
after the war, they [the US and England] would
need multi-lateral institutions capable of
enforcing rules favoring the free movement of
capital internationally."
How do they work, and what is wrong
with them? The World Bank makes enormous
loans to poor or debtor nations for the
development of large infrastructure projects
such as roads, darns, and other industry.
Ostensibly, these projects are of long-term
benefit to poor countries by establishing
enough industrial developent to enable them
to compete economically with rich western
nations. However, according to Catherine
Caufield, author of Masters of Illusion: the
World Bank and the Poverty of Nations, "A
large proportion of World Sank loans are
failures. According to the bank's Operation
Evaluation Department, nearly one third of its
project and investment loans do not meet the
mll11mUm standard for economic
productivity, and 56 percent are unlikely to be
sustainable- thal is, to deliver the predicted
benefits. The percentage of unsuccessful loans
would certainly be even higher if the loans
were independently assessed and if their
environmental and social impacts were taken
into account."
When the development projects fail to
miraculously create viably competitive
economies , third-world nations find
themselves in worse trouble than they started
out in: not only are they still poor, they OWE
more money. This is where the IMF comes in.
The IMF. which is largely tax·payer
funded, makes a new loan to the country in
question, effectively repaying the World
Bank. These new loans are made
"conditionally," however: the debtor Nation
must undergo what are called "stuctural
adjustment programs." SAP's re-organize the
Nation's economy from local subsistence to
emphasis on foreign exports in order to be
most profitable and efficiently repay the debt.
In order to attract investment. debtor nations
must swap local food production and
sustainable extraction of natural resources for
cash crop plantations and resource
exploitation. Other mandatory elements of
adjustment include privatization of state
functions, slashing of social services, and
elimin ation of domestic subsidies . Wage
labor is invariably exploited.
In other words, imagine squeezing
every dead cent you can out of a land and its
people; this is structura Iadjustment. A World
Bank/lMF loan demands that a country
commit to the outright exploitation of itself
for profit in the "free market" in order to
repay loans that were not helpful in the first
place.
1M F/World Bank policy creates a
perpetual treadmill of debt for so-called
developing nations. The third world loses its
ability to sustain itself by entering the free
market, becoming reliant on loans from the
west, while all profits from loca l industry,
natural resources and agriculture are shipped
overseas to "service the debt." This system is
often considered "neo-" or ';re·colonization."
By providing wasteful or worthless
loans to poor countries, private western
capital gains cheap and easy access to an
abundance of natural resources and labor.
Not only does this stink for the third world,
it is OUR tax dollars the IMF shells out to
repay these ineffective development loans.
This means that we pay for "development" in
the third world, while the fmancial gain of
structural adjustment is pocketed by
multinational corporations.
According to the UN, sub-Saharan
Africa pays 34 million dollars a day in debt
service alone (interest and capita l
repayments.) Together, developing countries
paid 270 bi.llion dollars in debt service in
1996, up from 160 billion in 1990.
Americans, by contrast, spend eight
billion dollars a year on cosmetics, which is
two billion dollars more than the estimated
annual total needed to provide basic
education for everyone in the world. Nike
paid Michael Jordan $20,000,000 a year to
promote Nike sneakers, which is greater than
the annual income of 30,000 Asian women
together who sew Nike sneakers. Couldn't
this money be put to better use in the poor
countries from which it originates? Cou ldn 't
our taxes be used to our advantage here at
home? Where does all that money go?
The free trade policies of the Bretton
Woods Institutions have very effectively
consolidated wealth in fewer and fewer hands
over the decades since World War II.
According to the 1997 Annual United Nations
developmen t report, "During the period 1979
to the present,. the growth in income has
disproportionately flowed to the top. The
bottom 60 percent of the population actually
saw their real income decrease in 1990 dollars.
The next :l0 percent saw modest gains. The
top 20 percent saw their income increase 18
percent. The wealthiest one percent saw their
incomes explode over 80 percen!." This
inequity is due to the imperialist economic
practices of multi-national corporations and
their "legal" chan neis, the IMF, World Sank
and WTO, who grease the gears of the profit
machine.
Over 50,000 people marched, danced,
sang, sat, and locked down together in the
streets of Seattle to protest this odious
injustice. Around the world, people being
adversely affected by western corporate
dominance were overjoyed to see that there
are people with a conscience in the US, and
that there is hope for change. Indeed ,
Americans have a responsibility to act in
solidarity with the worldwide resistance to
global imperialism. It hurts the vast majority
of us, though to varying degrees.
Mass. non-violent direct action is
planned for Sunday and Monday, Apri l 16
and 17 by the Direct Act ion Network, an
organization that formed on the west coast
last year in response to the WTO's Seattle
ministerial. Many other non-governmental
organizations have banded together to
sponsor this protest, including Rainorest

~COMMENTARY

by Mac Lojowsky
Late on the evening of April 5, 2000, a
cargo ship containing llO tons of high ly toxic
waste docked at the Port of Seattle. The waste,
mostly electrica l eqUipment contaminated
with PCB's, came from U.S. military bases in
Japan. The waste's original destination was
Vancouver, British Columbia, where it would
be transported to a disposal site in Ontario,
but Canadian officials refused to allow the ship
to unload. The ship then arrived in Seattle,
where the E.P.A. granted permission to unload
the cargo and store it for 30 days, until a
disposal site was found. Undoubtedly, the
Department of Defense saw the PCS's
destination as the Hanford Site.
The public outcry was immense.
Governor Gary Locke stated, "This waste has
no place in Washington, even on a temporary
basis." Following a long tradition of activism
that now includes environmen tal activism, the
Longshore Workers Union refused to unload
the toxic cargo.

explained, "T here were lots of concerns

Hey Greener, ever wonder how we got that wonderful bus pass? Do you care? Do you ride the bus?
How about that Child Care Center that we have on campus: did you know that we are in the process of
building a new one? As a student, yru are paying for this stuff. A portion ofyour tuition every quarter is a
Services and Activities fee. Full-time students pay a quarterly fee of around $118 this year. TIle bus pass
happened after the studen ts responsible for allocating all ofthe coUected S&A fees, the Servicesand Activities
Fee Allocation Board, decided to pay for a pilot program. Last year's S&A Board decided to fi.1llda new Child
Care Center to the tune of$250,OOO ofstudent fees.
.The Board didn't just decide to fillld these because it wanted to, although it could have done that just
as easily. Instead, the Boardattempted to gain a broaderperspectiveofsnldent interestthan the students on
the Board provide with campus outreach that took the form ofa survey. The survey taken in 1998 was in
part responsible for the bus pass and the new Child Care Center. In the survey, students identified the bus
pass and the Child Ca re Center as their number one and number two priorities. TIli5 year the S&A Board
conducted another survey. TIle survey asked students a number of dilferent things inrluding what dley
were interested in, what dley would like to see more ofon campus and where they would like to see more of
dleir snldent fees go. Of 1300 surveys handed out to students over dIe course of winter quarter, 288 were
returned. The Board did not use any particular method in selecting student~ to fill out the survey and
attempted to extend dle invitation to fill out the survey to all interested students.
TIle Board hopes that the results will not only be ofinterest to it as it considers dilferentways to invest
student fees, but also to the campus community. Acomplete copy ofthe survey results i~ posted on dIe S&A

The autonomous affinity group structure will
be used again in direct action.
Jubilee 2000 is an international
community and faith-based organization
calling for the outright cancellation of third
world debt. On Sunday April 9, they rallied 15
thousand people in a "hands around the
capitol" ceremony. A cluster ofaffinity groups
from Seattle took this opportunity to block the
en tmnce to the capitol. There will also be a
teach-in sponsored by the International
Forum on Globalization, similar to the one in
Seattle. Sounds like a chain reaction!
There will be a festival of resistance in
Seattle on Sunday, April 16, meeting at
Westlake Ce ntr e, 3rd and Pine streets
downtown, at noon . Activists have made giant
puppets and banners, and will take an
educational tour of some Seattle business
offices with connections to the IMF and World
Bank. This street theat.re extravaganza will be
in solidarity with the protesters in D.C. All are
welcome and encouraged to take part in this
global day of action.

Last week on Wednesday, AprilS, four dedicated community members and activists
suffered a severe accidentwhiJe traveling to Washington, D.C. for the upcoming protests
of the IMF and World Bank. Ocean, Lupin, 'Brie, and Heather Moore were traveling in a
van which crashed near Pittsburgh, PA due to icy road conditions oil a bad stretch of
road. Two other accidents occurred on this same stretch of road that same day.
Lupin and Ocean have both suffered severe injuries and are currently at the Allegheny
Hospital in Pittsburgh. ~upin has broken her back and arm. She is currently wearing a
back brace. has undergone surgery for her arm, and is healing with high spirits. Ocean
suffered a broken neck, and is currently paralyzed from the chest down and baspneumonia
in his lungs. However because of Ocean's high spirited energy he has carried throughout
his life, he and his friends are optimistic that he wiD heal and will be able to walk again,
Friends are looki ng forward to their return thisweekend. Lupin is planning to return
on Friday, and Ocean is planning to return on Saturday, when he will undergo a
rehabilitation program at a University of Washington hospital.
.
Lupin and Ocean have an extremely dedicated support network here in Olympia
and at Evergreen, and continued support from our communities is especially important.
Last Wednesday night close friends held a healing ceremony, and have continued to send

IIF REEDOM
The Les Puree Interview
by M ole Lnjowsky
Could you please further explain your
philosophies upon the future role oftechnology
at Evergreen and the subject of long-distance
learning?
The faculty need to be the ones to look at
(the issue) and decide ifit has a place at all. We
have a special, personal approach to education
at Evergreen. Is there a long term goal for
technology in the education here? Any
decisions (about the role of technology) must
be made by the faculty.
Many of the students and faculty in
Evergreen's graduate programs feel that they are
underfunded, unrecognized and generally
lacking the necessary resources to reach their
ultimate goals, How do you view Evergreen's
graduate program, and what changes do you
foresee in the future?
The graduate program has several roles at
the Evergreen State College. There is a natural
niche for the people in public administration,
and the MIT (Master's in Teaching) serves a real
need to provide advanced teachers. However,
Evergreen is primarily an undergraduate
institution and its primary emphasis has been
in that area. It's always a balancing act between
the undergraduates and the additional mission
of serving graduates in the MIT and Public
Administration programs , It's an ongoing
evaluation, but we must always recognize the
central focus of our undergraduate education,
How do you feel the politicians in Olympia
view Evergreen, and what changes do you
expect from them in the next couple of years?
I think that by and large there is a great
respect for the role education plays in the state
by politician and public policy makers. Having
observed this at Washington Sta te, people
respect the special quality in education that
Evergreen plays. This is demonstrated by the
fact that they have been even-handed in funding
(Evergreen) over the years. Ultimately, that is
how it is judged.
Evergreen will face the same challenges as
the other five public universities will face; how
to deal with diminishing resources and an
increased public demand to take on more
students.

"I think there are two things: one is the issue of prison labor and wanting
the labor unions to take the issue up. [I think they should] consider the
'divide and conquer' that's happening, as well as the criminalization of
people, pushing them into prison where they take jobs from those that are
on the outside and that's why people are committing crimes. And then
the corporations are using that labor [is an issue to mel.
The second one .. .is really that even though the number of people in
the streets in Seattle on Nov. 30 was totally amazing, when the welfare
reform bill was going through there were not 50,000 people in the streets
for poor people. I think that's really important. I think that's what May 1
seems to be about anyway, but I feel [that] to get back to working locally
and nationally on issues that affect poor people is really important."

"I think that any ofthe issues that people are going to mention are ofimportance to me. In a
lot of ways if I was to say the prison issue, or the increase in poverty, or the increase of
institutionalized racism-they don't have such direct impacts on me. What I feel more-my
concern is-that as long as these ideals are still upheld and reproduced by institutions such
as c1assism where middle and upper class people
think of themselves as somehow above working class
and poor people that results in a hindrance in my
ability to recognize my whole humanity and the
humanity ofother people. I think that in a lot of ways
that is not so much doing these things as a favor to
other people as doing these people because I think
that white people and middle class people need to
liberate themselves. As long as you think your
supreme to another person you're not going to realize
the full humanity of everyone or the whole humanity
of yours elf. So for me, personally. the ways that [these
issuesl manifest is by focusing on prison issues but:
but [they I need to be brought back to yourself. As a
person who benefits a lot off of all of these
institutions, that's my main concern."

"Most of all I think we need to take responsibility for our
privilege living in North America,liVl'l1g in the wealthiest
country in the world. Any kind of issue that would be
about taking responsibility for our privilege would be one
that I support. The one that comes most immediately to
mind is when you look around the world at the incredible
poverty and suffering that most people are being
confronted with on a daily basis because of the IMF
[International Monetary Fund] and the World Bank. We
are very directly responsible [for those issues) because the
United States runs those organizations essentially. That's
an issue where we are taking responsibility for our privilege
and our great wealth that we have here. and doing something about changing the conditions
for people whom we are affecting very negatively. So that's the kind ofissue that, when I think
about these issues, that's it for me: how do I be accountable for my privilege'! Those are the
kinds ofissucs that motivate me: where you are taking account ofyour privilege, where you are
not just lighting for yourself. but for those whom you are impacting through your very actions.
Its not your own fault , you were born into this society, but you are benefiting from historical
structures and existing structures of domination that you have to be accountable for. Those are
the kinds ofissues Iwould [take on[. And in were to pick one issue for me that is most pressing
tilr me. it's the issue of global poverty and misery being enforced by the international finance
institmions-IMF and World Bank.

this issue."

is people coming together, people forming coalitions. 11lat's something that takes a lot ofwork. Ithink Mayday is a great opportunity for people to come
together and it's an opportunity for people to talk about dlat process ofbuilding coalitions becall'le it i~ a process that L~ ongoing and somedling)(Ju have
to do every single day. [I dlink die day would I spark dio;alssions on what dlat means to build coalitions, especially with diverse groups of people coming
together. 111at was talked about a little bit dlis moming.
Actually, dIe whole race is.~ue came up and having diverse coalitions [came up I. Ithink that dIal's a great goal to work toward~, but think also at dIe same

people but the majority ofpeople were probably middle-class. white people. I think in order for liS to really build coalitions dlOse groups ofpeople really
need to work on things that might not have any dling to do with what we are fighting against. BlIt [we need to work on] confronting and owning our
privilege and work on digging up. uprooting dli~ racism. and thi~ white-stlpremist shit dlat is in us because we grew up in this society and grew up in this
country [where] we automatically have dlese dlings. We have to uproot those dlingS. And dlat takes a lot ofwork. But, yeah, coalitions. that takes a lot of
work so we need to start doing that so dlat we can really make dlese coalitions and really connect with people, and a diverse group can all come together

really on the front lines, receiving the brunt of the

"I would say that May 1 is the traditional labor day around the world-the
day of the worker. I think that people need to start looking at broadening
the definition of the worker's movement. Its not jus these organized trad
unions which have done important work on some levels, but they have
also stymied the broadening of the labor movement. People do not consider
. [un]organized workers, people do not consider workers inside prison,
people do not consider non-traditional workers as being part of the work
force. This make the worker's movement exclusionary, which, in fact,
weakens it. I feel that if working people set out in a determined way to
broaden the definition of 'worker,' then we would be on our way to
transforming this society."

everyone can do. I also think that it is something that is
easy to bring awareness to, and for people to see how their
wealth directly effects other people's poverty. I think that
that would be a really effective and straight-forward
means of creating awareness on May 1."

The Curse ofMetropolis
by Mega n Gr umblin g
By all rules oflogic and karma. the Metropoli~
should have been immune to the Curse of th e
Tropicana.
And maybe it was.
"/ guess you could say that we're part of the
Curse, but, then again, we're really not part of the
Curse," said the venue's soon-to-be former owner,
Devin True, who brought Metropolis into exi tence
last August.
In odler words, dJe Metropolis will indeed
soon be joining the ranks oft:he many clubs tllat have
shut down at 31141J. Avenue. but it is arguable tllat
the youth-oriented nature of True's venue. gives it a
significant moral edge over the string of failed 90s
clubs tllat simply pushed hard liquor and bad cover
bands.
True reminded me tllat tile lore ofdle Curse
is, of course, just that. TIle Metropolis is closing for
purely financial reasons. he said, and "the Curse is
just a rumor, unless it has somedling to do with the
funeral home."

As local legend tells it, 311's history of short·

Metropolis's imminent closing at the end of the
month is the most recent chapter, can be traced back
to circumstances surrounding the tragic closing or
the hallowed Tropicana club. An all-ages music and
gallery space during Olympia's '80s golden-era punk
years, the Tro?icana was the quintessential model
of a venue with a heart. Operated by volunteers, it
was a cheap and supportive center ofentertainment
and socialization for Olympia's young people and a
needed outlet lOr the city's struggling artists.
The problem, as far as the city was concerned,
was the visibility and alleged commotion causcd by
the dub's young punk crowd. Led by the owners of
the funeral home building, who complained of
youths ringing their bell at night to request a look at
corpses, downtown merchants petitioned for the
pulling of the Tropicana's license. Concerned c1ul:r
goers dedicated themselves to policing the behavior
of their peers, but a passionate battle nevertheless
ensued between business owners and counter·
petitioners, proponents ofyouth. and the arts.

Evergreen drops NCAA Division ill affiliation
Managing editor?
Of the Cooper Point Journal?
I've never worked on a newspaper before.
I ,,
OLYMPIA - After five years as a
probationary member, The Evergreen State
College intercollegiate athletics department
announced today that it has dropped all ties
with the NCAA Division Ill.
The eight intercollegiate sports offered
by the school will remain affiliated with the
National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics (NAIA) and the Cascade Collegiate
Conference.
Evergreen applied for acceptance into
the NCAA in 1995 during a period when tennis
and basketball were added as intercollegiate
programs. The school's philosophy of
interdisciplinary study, along with enrollment
figures below average NCAA Division III
standards, was a key factor in the proposed
switch. Unfortunately, things did not go as
planned.
"There were two primary logistics
problems with our affiliation with the NCAA,"
said Janette Parent, Evergreen's interim
director of athletics and recreation. "Our
I
,.
I did that play, though.
They even made me stage manager.
So, yeah-I guess I could apply,
teams were unable to fill Division III schedules
without flying across the country, which would
make it nearly impossible to qualifY for the
post·season. Secondly, we could not find a
conference atthat level that would take us in."
Evergreen had hoped the Northwest
Conference, a NCAA Division III conference
of private schools in the region, would accept
the Geoducks. However, the state-affiliated
4,100 student school did not fit their
demographic requirements.
"Remaining a member of the NCAA
Division III would keep our programs in line
with the institutions philosophy; however, it
is not practical for our coaches and athletes,"
Parent replied.
As an NAIA member, the Geoducks will
have the option to give limited scholarships
or tuition waivers to student-athletes based on
their athletic endeavors. While affiliated with
the non·scholarship NCAA Division Ill, that
was not an option.

The Evergreen Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw
Kung Fu team had their third victory of the
season last weekend at the Oregon Rose City
Nationals. With a total of seven competitors,
Evergree.n's KUlig Fu team brought back 18
ranking medals.
The tournament kicked off with Black
Belt, Jesse Harter, and Advanced competitor
Shasta Smith, competing in the Black Belt
Continuous Fighting Division.
Shasta fought rust in the Middleweight
division, dominated by Black Belt fighters.
Shasta, new to the experienced fighting style
of these competitors had to draw on all of his
skill and unwilling to be defeated, moved
quickly and aggressively to a Bronze medal.
Harter dearly represented the team's
Chinese Kung Fu fighting style in the
Heavyweight division with a charging mirage
of swinging punches and came away with the
silver in the division.
On Saturday, the team also dominated
the beginner divisions. Owen O'Keefe and
Ellen Underwood both won Gold in forms and
Silver in point fighting for their respective
divisions.
Katherine McLain competed in the
Intermediatei Advanced division and won
Gold in forms and Bronze in point fighting.

advanced forms division.
Shasta, pumped from fighting the night
before, won Gold in the Lightweight point
sparring and moved up into the Heavyweight
division. In the larger division, Shasta qualified
to compete for the Bronze but took 4th by
bowing-out to his Kung Fu brother, Eastlake,
who was aIso in the division .
The Black Belt competition began later
in the day with the Kung Fu forms division.
Jesse Harter and Jessie Smith took Gold and
Silver respectively wi th traditional Bak Shaolin
Eagle Claw Kung Fu forms. lIarter also took
Gold in the Kung Fu forms division with his
Shaolin Staff form. Both victories in the forms
division qualified Harter to compete for the
Forms Grand C!lampion.
Harter slammed his staffform out on the
gum floor and finished only two tenths of a
point behind the Weapon Forms World
Champion ofthe NBL.
Once the forms were completed, the
Black Belt Point Fighting, swung into filII effect.
Both Harter and Jessie Smith were dominant
forces in their rings with Smith landing heavy
hits to her opponent and winning the Bronze.
Harter fought the same fighter from the night
before, so the Eagle Fighting Team was able to
develop their winning strategy. Smith
technically and physicalfy dominated his first
opponent and his next opponent bowed-out
earning Jesse the Bronze.

Evergreen has selected four candidates
as finalists for the vacant Director of
Recreation and Athletics position. Larry Lee,
Ted Spatkowski, Todd Schilperoort, and Dave
Weber were selected out of a pool of 50
candidates vying for the position which has

the candidates will occur between 12:30 - p.m.
to 1:30 p.m. beginning Friday, April 14.
WEEKEND RECAP: Going into
this past weekend, Evergreen knew
they would have an uphill climb . first facing a Lewis-Clark State
program that had both of its
squads ranked amongst the lOptwenty in the NAIA, and then
taking on an always tough
Whitworth College club. The climb
ended up like a Mount Everest
adventure in the 1700s, as the
Geoducks fell 9·0 to the Warriors
and Pirates on both the men's and
women 's sides. Against LewisClark State, Evergreen could not
muster much of an attack; in fact,
the women's team won only two
games in five singles match ~s.
Sunday against Whitworth , things
for the Greeners was a bit better.
Senior Neal Ahern (Orleans, Mass. _
/ Northeastern Univ.) won his first
set in his collegiate career, but
ended up losing in three sets 2-6,
6-2,6-3. The doubles team ofChhay

Brookline (Mass.) HS) had a 6-5 lead in
victory over Mam and Xu. The women's

doubles team of Caitlin Morgan (Kalamazoo,

"It is likely that we will add men's crosscountry, which is sponsored by many (,CC

said. "At the time being, we will not be giving
financial aid to student-athletes based on
performance. "
The school also announced its plans to
add two, possibly three sports for the 2001-02
season. As a member of the Cascade Collegiate
Conference, Evergreen is required to
participate in at least six conference sponsored
sports(three men's, three women's). Currently,
the Geoducks' basketball and soccer teams
fulfill two-thirds of the requirement, however
the CCC does not sponsor tennis and
swimming programs.
"We will be adding women's volleyball for
the 2001 fall season," Parent said. "The
conference voted that all members should have
a men's and women 's basketball program along
with volleyball by 2001, so it makes an easy
decision for us."
