How we decided Les is lllore
by Cyril Mychalcjko
There were public forullls for st udents to ask
candidates questions. There lI'ere web casts and
videos of those fonum lix students who couldll't
attend. The candidates' re.~UI\1('s II'l're a\"ilable on
. the Internet. 111ere was e\'(,11 a search committee
member aLmed with a bullholll ill tlIP CAB trying
to get students involved. Ilml'cver. that was ollly
enough to muster 14 evaluations liOln students 011
the coUege's presidential finalists last mont h.
"It's a sadness, an ongoing sadlless I have
about this institution," said Jane Jervis, president of
the coUege. "We turned ourselves illside out to get
student participatioll and 1 think the r('snlts were
disappointing."
"We went through great lengths to get people
involved," said Ellen Miley, studcllt representative
on the presidential search commit tee, de.'iCribingher
and fellow student rep Ricllard Myers' ellorls.l1ley
both went around call1pus h:lIIgillg lip posters
advertising the student interviews with the
candidates. Miley also went into the CAB with a
bullllom and started yelling at people to get them
involved and to go to the studellt interviews.
"We wan ted to get a sellse or feel for what the
campus dlought about all five candidates," said
David Lamb, Chair of the Board afTrustees. "Iwish
there had been more evaluations from students.
Ultilnateiy they are our customers," said Lamb.
"I didn't know about theevaluations," said Pat
Cont i. a senior environmental science student. "I
thillk tire college could have done a better job
adVl'rt i:-.illg it beca.llse Ididn't kllOw about them and
IdOIl't lOllsidennysclrto be 'in the dark' abolltthings
hap(Jenillg on camplls."
lkcl'a Bartleson, ajunior, didll't know about
the evaluations either.
"I did like how they made tapes of the student
interviews available to watch," said Bartleson. "I saw
them in pas.~ing but didn't see any advertisement
about thelll," she added.
The search committee selected five
presidential finalists from more than 100
applications that were accepted after a nation-wide
search. They then presented them to the board. The
Board of' rrustees, ,vhose members w~re appointed
by Governor Gary Locke, made the final decision
on Evergreen's next president.
111e trtL~tees were getting evaluations after the
February 10 deadline, right up until they met to
make a decision. Only 148 evaluations were turned
in. "nlerewere 53 from tamlty,53ffomstaff, 28 from
alumni and 14 tumed in from students.
111e trustees also considered workexperience
and background checks when evaluating the
candidates.
But when the trustees met March 8 to make a
decision. "it was simply folks just sitting around_
talking about the candidates" and that going with
their "gut" played a big part, said Lamb.
AccordillgtoLamb,thereweretwothingsthat
he thought set Dr. Thomas L "Les" Purce, our next
coUege president, apart from the other candidates.
"First, based on his prior time at this
institl.ltion, he has direct personal knowledge ofwhat
makes Evergreen special. Second, his outreach and
connections throughout Washington. His work at
Washington State University (WASU) enabled him
to have contact with virtually every community
coUege president in the state."
Purce was Evergreen's Vice President for
College Advancement in 1989, served as an interim
president during the last presidential search which
re!>l.rltedin the hiringotJaneJervisandwasExecutive
Vice President before leaving in 1995 for WASU.
While at WASU he was Vice President for Extended
University Affairs and the Dean of Extended
Academic Programs.
"I would have liked the school to give more
information on what exactly the role ofthe students
were in selecting the next president," said Conti. "It
seernsthere isasetwaythingsaredoneandit'sgoing
to happen whether dlestudentsare involved or not"
According to Miley, "Ifanypeoplewho think
they're seriously involved on campus would have
went to the student interviews they could have
realized that they could have made their voices
heard"
Jervis said it's hard to get students involved in the
decision making process.
'They only participate when they're mad and
then they protest. I think this handicaps Evergreen a
great deal"
Benjamin Speed, a sophomore, said he
thought the coUege could have do~e more to get
students involved
"I think the college should have sent a
newsletter to each student, just a page or so about
what was going on and the events involved," said
Speed
UzKover,ajwlior,didn'thandinanevaluation
although she knew about them.
"I didn't think it mattered because it was a
decision made by the board," said Kover.
f
But she added that the coUege shouldn't·be
blamed fur a lack ofstudent involvement
"It has a lotto do with each student's personal
responsibility to find out what's'going on and to get
involved Ithinkthe lackofstudentinvo~thas
alot more to do with student apathy than the Jackof
access to infonnation."

Citibank unwelcome
by Mac Lojowsky
Around noon on Wednesday, AprilS,a group
of Evergreen students set up a table next to the
Citibank credit card table in the Cab lobby. The
students were protesting the presence ofCitigroup
(ofwhidl Citibank L~ a subsidiary) on Evergreen's
campus. The main L<;'~lIes raised by the stlldents are
Citigroup's disastrous record of association with
some of the largest environmelital polluters·and
human rights violators in the world. Shoren Brown,
one of the demonstrating students explained,
"Citigroup takes up things that the IMF and World
Bank won't even touch ."
For example, Citigroup has underwritten
bondsfurGlina'sl1lree Gorges Dam, raised money
for the Maxxam Corporation (which is currendy
mtting some of the last California Redwoods and
continuing a loek- out of Kaiser Steel workers), and
is an advisor to the Chad·Cameroon oil pipeline
(notorious for human-rights viobtiolls. spills and
rainforest destruction).
Citibank credit cards and bankillg operations
often target college campuses to sign up (often
bankrupt) students for credit card accoullts. On
Monday, 17 Evergreen stlldents filled out Citibank
credit card applications. 011 Tuesday, 31 signed up,
and on Wednesday (tlle day of the demonstration),
only two applications were filled OLlt.
Darius Scott, asales representative for Citib.1nk
responded to the demonstratiolllVith amusement.
"I really don't personally care about their (the
students') issues. 111is is tile only campus that we've
hada problem widl politically. I'm gonna call the big
boys and theyll take care ofi t."
.For the next half-hour, Mr. Scott held
telephone conferences with the "big boys," while dle
table of students educated the lunchtime crowd of
Gtigroups's practices. They urged students to "sign

One student, who refi.lsed to give her name, was not
pleased with the method in which dle studeptschose
to voice their message. "It's really awesome that
they're spreading aw:\reness, but it's derogatory in
the way they're doing it; setting up a table right next
to them. He's (dle Citibanksales representative) just
doinghisjob."
.
Shoren Brown explained, "we talked to them
(Citibankreps) before we started and told them that
thiswasn'taboutthem,ju~tthecorporateCEO'sand
die atrocities they are committing."
Promptly at 12:30 p.m., Mr. Scott and his
assistant packed lip their Citibank belongings and
left. "11Ie big boys puUed us out," he explained."We1l
just go to a campus where we can spread ou/Word."
Not according to the Rainforest Action
Network (RA N), \I'ho is spearheading die campaign.
Erick Broll'nstein. a RA I campaigner, elaborates
that the campaign is "going to encourage people to
see how their mOlley is being used ...whether it's
s\\'eatshops or redwood forests in the Northwest or
milling in SouLh America, Citigroup is dlere."
Mr. Brown predicts tllat in die near future,
college campU';es can expect credit-card "mt-ups,"
divestment in Citigroup and a growing awareness
ofthe role which multinational corporations play in
everyday life- both at home and in the Third World.
"Citigroup is sim ilar to the World Trade
Organizatioil," he says, .. in dlat it affectsev~rybody;
human rights, anim.al rights, environment, and
labor. It will be easy to build coalitions with other
students and Qring our concerns (about Citigroup)
to the table."

relations is available from the Rainforest Action
Network at; www.ran.org.

March 13

March 16
8:58 p.m.

Suspicious person in woods. One offour reports I could not obtain this week.

skateboard with writing that matches the HCC graffiti. Cue dramatic music.

broadcaster Dave Henderson , who wore
Robinson's number, 42, when he played cent er
fi eld for the team in the 1980s, will present the
scholarship at home plate.
"Evergreen is extremely grateful to the
Mariners organization for this partnership.
The Jackie Robinson Memoria} Scholarship
honors two individuals: Robinson , who
brought imme.nse talent and dignity to the
game, and an outstanding Evergreen student
ofcolor," said faGillty member Dr. Oscar Soule.
Soule organizes the event, which has drawn
200 Evergreen faculty, staff students, and
alumni. "To celebrate this at home plate for the
first time is a dream come true. Thank you,
Mariners."
In 1988, Evergreen faculty member and
baseball aficionado Dr. Patrick .Hill and his
wife , Maureen, created an endowed
scholarship in Robinson's memory. Initially it
yielded $500 a year to support a junior or
senior student of color who demonstrated
academic achievement and outstandin g
commitment to community involvement and
social justice. With contributions from several
sources, including the Mariners, th e
scholarship now awards $1,000 each year.
"Jackie Robinson was not only the first
African American to play major league
baseball, he was a man of dignity who worked
for social justice in baseball and in our society,"
Hill said.
In 1997, Major League Baseball retired
Robinson's number, 42. Only those players
having it before 1997 are now allowed to wear
it. Butch Huskey, one of those seven players
and an ex-Mariner, has donated one dozen
autographed balls to raise funqs for the
scholarship. The Hill family will match the first
10 donations of$100. The remaining two balls
will be raffled individually at $5 a ticket.
families to the scholarship fund.
Call the Alumni Affairs Office at x6551 to
donate to the scholarship fund or to purchase
baseball raffle tickets. Purchasers do not need
to attend the game to win .
Millions to be spent
on renovations
Besides the usual drums and laughter, the
sounds of this summer will include hammers
and saws. Four remodeling and renovation
projects are slated to start in June and wind up
by December. Evergreen 's board of tru stees
approved the projects.
"After the dust settles, I think people will
be pleased with the results," says Vice President
for Finance and Administration Ruta Fanning.
Police Services will occupy reconfigured
quarters when their remodeling is completed
in September. Plans call for the installation of
two locker rooms, a restroom and office space
for six people to support the 12-officer
complement, all within the confines of their
present suite. After considering other options,
including the construction of a separate
structure in a parking lot and relocating to
another building, the $300,000 remodel was
approved. "It's going to be a more efficient
operation altogether," says Chief of Police
Services Steve Huntsberry.
Health and Counseling Services will be
separated this summer, With the Health Center
gaining five new exam rooms, additional office
space, larger lounge and seminar areas and
better laboratory and pharmacy facilities in
Seminar 1. This will be accomplished by
moving the Counseling Center up to five offices
on the third floor. The $450,000 job will be
finished in September. "We're all looking
forward to having more room which allows us
to provide better care for our clients," says
Director of Health and Counseling Ser'vices
Elizabeth McHugh.

If you haven't noticed, the Macintosh
Classroom received a complete upgrade
during Spring Break. It is now equipped with
25 brand new Macintosh G4s.
The upgrade was accompanied by some
software changes, as well. Office was upgraded
toOffice/98, andDreamweaverandFlashwere
added. Office/98 is much more compatible
with the Office/97 used in the GCe.
Dreamweaver and Flash are used in web page
development and offer many features not
found in N~tscape Composer, which will still
be available. Also installed were "drivers" for
all the digital cameras in Media Loan, which
should make using them in the Computer
Center much easier.
What will you notice about the upgrade?
Better display. Faster performance. More disk
drives. More reliability. Cooler Multimedia

Police are dispatched to the dorms for an overdose victim. They find him hysterically talking
with another man, who states that the victim had four hits of acid. He is transported to CMC for
treatment. While they are picking up his belongings, they find a coat. The friend states that it is his
coat, and that there is acid in a pocket of the coat. Sure enough, there is a baggy with a blue piece of
paper. While the friend says he does not own the acid, he did have at least one hit.
Two more people are pulled into this mess when they approach the dorm room. They both
admit to being in the room recently and knowing about the acid. Eventually one is given an MJP and
taken back to his residence in the dorms. The other one is issued a criminal trespass and escorted off
campus. Finally, the friend is transported to jail and booked for possession plus unlawful delive~.
Mac Classroom
systems, please let the consultants (the green
vests) know. Our experience with the new
software is limited. We are learning as fast as
we can. Be careful with the disk drives, until
you get used to which one is which. The new
scanners haven't arrived yet, so you'll need to
scan in the Cluster Area.
In conjunction with the upgrade to the
Mac Classroom, the Cluster Area was also
upgraded. Post 2 received six new Macintoshes,
identical to the one in the Mac Classroom.
Thus, you'll be able to get at new Mac G4s, even
when a class is in session.
Posts 1,3, and 4 received 18 of the "old"
Macs from the Mac Classroom. These 1996
model 8500s replace a variety of old Macs
(going back to 1988) that were located here.
(Evaluations everywhere! No more black &I
white! No more double-density disks!). The old
486 systems at Post 7 were removed, and
replaced with the Pentium systems from Post
4.
During Spring Quarter, the Computer
Center will open on Saturdays at 10 A.M.
Previously, the Center opened at 12 noon . No
other changes were made to the schedule. The
Advanced Computing Classroom will be open
to all students during Spring Quarter, however.
Ordinarily, access to the ACC is limited to
computer science students. This is a result of
some scheduling conflicts, which resulted in
more computer science activities taking place
in the General Computing Classroom.
Coming soon: New peripherals-n'ot
only scanners, but a variety of storage devices
are on order. New software--a new server will
be installed for the Mac Classroom. This should
make it possible for us to operate new versions
of PageMaker, as well as other software. Stay
tuned for details.

How I spent my Spring Vacation
by Ben Kinkade
CANCUN, MEXICO-Ah, sweet Cancun.
Mexiro. Where the water is aq ua blue, the su n is
always out , and the bodies of the beach bums are
tan, swollen wi th muscle or sili con. ,lI1d
genet ically unattainable to the rest of the world.
Still, I managed to have a good time. what with
all the wet T-shirt contests and a ci ty of beautiful
women as my pa norama. Oh bella. what
awesome sights.
I frequented (a ncun's "Spri ng I.lreak"
festivities for an hour or so on Friday. Every event
was pumped up with appearances by celebrities
and hip-hop artists. After everyone danced to
Cysco's "The Thong Song" (apparently Th ekla
hasn't trained me well enough as a dancer) things
got more heated with a game of strip poker. Sadly,
the women won and several guys ended up
stripping. Not what I wanted to see-but a couple
of desperate females doffed their duds to run
topless across the stage. Unfortunately for me, I

happened ro look down at my bag of potato
chips at that precise moment. Oh well, th ere
is always next year. Every hour is a party at
"spring break" in Cancun. Alcoholic
beverages and bikinis drop faster thall
Niagara r:all~ .
When I thin k abOlIt it-it scares me for
the women that attend these festivities. Mo~t
ofthe girls Isaw looked pretty forthrigh t when
traveling in packs. but frightened in the face
of desperate, Ilans and Fraos-sized men. The
women that wanted to (and did) flash their
shapely breasts didn't appear to "want" an
enormous crowd of men to grope them lat er,
but th al 's what happened to many of them.
Virgin ity or monogamy aren 't part of the
vocabulary lIsed by most people I observed
at "spring hreak" in Cancun. People even came
forward to announ ce publicly that the)' had
slept wi th their best friend's girl/boyti-il'nd
and seemed proud ofth~ fact.
I.ly Saturday I had grown tired of these
co ll ege students and th eir anti~s . Iwas ready
to belid this blonde gal over my leg and give
h~r a spa nking (w ith her pants ON!) for
continually ge ttin g drunk, actin g a fool,
winding up with a stranger every night (I
wondered what th e abbreviations III V and
.STD meant toher). and waking up late with a
hangover, only to take aspirin and go at it
again.
Mostofthepcople Iobserved at "spring
break" were spoiled rich kids, simply th ere to
do everything they cou\~ that would endanger

On Saturday, r\prill, tite gra nd ope lling

pro ceeded with mild fanfare lI'ith 200
parents. you ng childr ell . teellagers. and
young adults in altE'ndame. The Jerks, a

and ska tunes while attelldees scored free hot

scene, or skated: content wi th th e knowledge
that no one here will complain or ask them
to leave. The fuzz meander among hordes of
their traditional arch-nemeses. looking 3 bit
out of place. They are useless here, as the kids
police themselves and deve lop a sense of
proprietorship of their skate park .
The concept began with a posl alworker
named Liz Hulbert, who, on her mail routes.
observed skaters displ aced from city and
business properties pursuing their sport. She
organized a group of skaters, parents, and
individuals that approached the city with the
skate park proposal. The project was mer with
very little opposition, but the site selection
and design processes , coupled with the
arduous task of raising $151,000, comprised
most of the four-year time span. The city
picked up the remainder of the tab, and at a
total cost of $392,000, the skate cOllrt is the
"largest and newest in the West Coast,"
according to Olympia 's Mayor Stan Biles.
The Yauger Park site was chosen
because it has existing facilities , an open view
to the public, and was loca ted in a previously
unused part of th e park, said David l'lann a,
the project manager.
A comm ittee thai heavily involved
young people, specifi ca lly skaters, devdoped
the design of the court. On olle cnd of the
11 ,500 square foot court is a bowl, in th e

Misspelled flyers and posters too common
by Davd Lndrum
Evergreen's signs are the mass media of
campus life. Every free wall, nook. and nanny
is covered in a mosaic of sometimes artful,
sometimes dull messages competing for our
collective atterition. A scientist upon first
looking at this prosaic and relentless profusion
of expression would smile knowingly in the
proof of evolutionary theory. that nature
abhors a vacuum. In the 60s one popular song
summed it up by singing "sign, sign,
everywhere a sign ... and blowing my mind,
sign says do this, don't do that."
For a while I was mildly peeved at the
excessive plastering of our collective space, let
alone the wasteful nature of the chaotic
dispersal and redundancy. Why, I would ask
myself, is there no organized board with the
days of the week slotted and formatted for this
we~k and next week? There could even be
separate boards for educational and
entertJinment events. Too often, I discover a
really neat campus cvent that just happened,
as I have conditioned myself to ignore the inyour-face style of campus advertising as well
as Madison Avenuc's efforts and any other
effort to co-opt my attent ion. I would say that
it would be easier to do more advertising with
less paper, while putting me in charge of the
intellectual awareness of what is happening in
our communi ty.
I also realize that our sig ns do more than
inform us, they are also part of our first
amendment rights for expressing ourse lves
freely. This was pOignantly addressed when
presidential candidate Bill Bradley visited
Evergreen's campus and someone took down
all of our signs. It was as if our campus was
sanitized for the staged media event. Certainly
Evergreen is a more challenging environment
than Al Gore's visit to a local elementary
school, but at times I have to wonder to what
degree.
Lately, I have been noticing what I at first
thought was an alarming trend on 'ca mpus,
and that is spelling mistakes on signs. Is this
the result of the first generation of campus
activists to grow up with spell check? Or is it a
result of something more subtle? My first clue
came in a large roll down sigll hanging from
the balcony in the CAB. It asked me to save
the etlviromclIt and to stop matrialism. Every
day I looked at the sign and questioned the
standards by which my esteemed public
institution
exercised
its
adm ission policies.
Shou ld it be a
requirement to
100
spell something we
want to save?
But gradually
80
I saw the true
meaning of the
subversion at work.
As the loggers used
to say when I
worked in th e
40
woods, you have to
look out for those
enviros. Not on Iy

are they trying to

demonstrations. I also realized this cleverly
hached plot is begining to work. Fine Host put

Lapdog, watchdog, and the First Amendment blanket
In the fall of 1998. the CPJ became known
as the "lapdog of til e administration"when th e
Evergreen Politi ca l Information Center
published their yea rly "Disoricllt:Itinn
Manual."
Since then, this term (along with PC) and
Pooper PointJOlirtlal) has been thrown ;ll'Ound
as a funny nickname in and ou t of' the office.
However humorolls they seem. they raise real
Cluestions about our job as the cam pus
newspaper.
A newsp aper's role i~ to provide
meaningful and relevant information in such
a way that individuals within th at community
can make intelligent decisions about their lives
,and their environment.
This is what the CP,I stri\'es to do, but we
can't do it alone. It takes the coo peration and
understanding of a community to make the
whole thing work. Primarily. it takes a basic
understanding of the First Amendmellt-the
number one protect ion for ollr fr('('dom of
ellpression.
In the last two years. it 's become evident
that Evergreen students and staff are unclear
about the rights of students. Particularly the
right of students to freely speak and print.
For exaJllp le:
- During the fall of 1998, a few students
toget her with a couple offacnity members from
the Fictional Sociology program ins('rted their
own (Jllblicat ion into more than 200 CPJs after
di,t ribllti on.
·Dllring thr 1
:"1 of 1999. one student
inserted a promotional flyer int o the CPj after
distribution.
• During the fall of 1999, two employees
in the admissions office moved a stack of 15
CPJs out of the direct sight of visiting parents
because they disagreed wit h the content of the
CO\'er story.
·During winter quarter, one
administrator warned the CPJ that the Jan 20
editorial piece 011 Presidential Candidate
Rodney Smith violated the state law regarding
hiring practices.
·This same editorial also prompted
anot her administrator to accuse the CPJ of
violat ing the student conduct code.
-During winter quarter, one faculty
member chastised the CPJ for not consulting
with her about the us e of a photo.
So. it's time to get something straight.
The First Amendment trumps all: college
policy, college philosophy, and the state
co nstitution . As long as it lives, The First
Amendment reigns supreme:
Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishmen t of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom
of speech. or of the press. or the right of the
people peacefully to assemble. and petition the
government for a redress of grievances.
Specifically, the college is an extension of
the state which is an extension of congress.
Once that school establishes a forum for
expression, like the newspaper, it cannot move
the paper, alter the published paper, halt funds
to the paper, or take disciplinary action against
a student because of content. In fact, the only
time speech can be legally problematic is when
it is unprotected.
Basically, this is speech the courts have
deemed unprotected by the First Amendment.
It takes a lot to go this far, but some ofthe basic
types are libel, incitement to imminent lawless
activity, invasion of privacy, and copyright
violations.
The point is that any student has the right
to use the newspaper to express themselves
and the First Amendment keeps people from

crushing that right.
So, about that "lapdog" thing.
Frankly, I've been fending off angry
administrators, faculty and staff all year so we
can have a free-space to work. We're here to
serve student interest and student voice-to
be a watchdog. The CPJ may not seem
revolutionary, but it's not dangling from
legislative puppet strings. It belongs to the
students-and only the students.
I encourage you to start demanding the
freedom that the founding fathers saw fit to
include in our basic rights. I also encourage you
to challenge any attempts to hinder those
rights.
In the mean time, the CPJ will hold the
door open to you and your voice. You 're
welcome to come in and talk about the law, the
constitution, or anything you want.
We need to keep insisting that it's wrong
for anyone to force their voice into the paper,
it's wrong that administrators attempt to
pursuade staff members to write apologies or
retractions, and it's completely outrageous that
anyone hide the paper because the content is
disagreeable.

Cooper Point Journal -11- April 6, 2000
Jo sh Beal
So far this year I've live in both A and C
Dorms and can understand the advantages to
both: A Dorm has community and C Dorm has
privacy. Because of my position, I feel encouraged
to speak about the battle between the two, There
is the obvious consequences of the va ndalism. but
also the benifits of the interaction ...
One day when Iwoke up in the late afternoon
and came into my kitchen to ea t some breakfast, I
found my roommate pulling back a sign from our
kitchen willdow to see what it ,aid. I asked him
why it was there and he pointed to a sign in a
window of the 8 floo r of A Dorm facing C Dorm
which said "c Dorm Sucks!" in large black letters.
To be completely honest , I found it quite amusing
and it seemed harmless at th e time. Ano th er
roomlllatewho had originally written our sign gave
a similar response: "A Dorm Swallows!"
When the sign was later taken down,l didn't
give it another thought until one day when I came
home after class and found fliers all over C Dorm
saying things like, "We have proofthatC Dorm vote
Republican ..... vote without an "S;" and "We have
proof that C Dorm are poop-heads. " Again I was
amused by this, and even more amused when
someone from my dorm wrote back to A Dorm
with a list of 15 reasons or so describing why it
"sucks." Later, however, I found out that the whole
thing was actually turning into vandalism .
Someone had come over to C Dorm and
written above Homer Simpson's head on the mural
and on various locations on the walls and doors.
There was writing on the walls over at A Dorm,
too. Yet what is the point to all this? Residents are
very angry, and with good reason. Their personal
and public property has been damaged and they
have to pay for it. Then the school will have to pay
to paint over the walls. This money could go to
better causes then to cover up vandalism, Why
cover up the problem instead of fix it?
But what exactly is the problem? For those
who caused the damage, it could be anything. But
an obvious problem that I'm proposing as
connected to this is specific problem is one that I
have 'Ileard throughout the campus ... and I'm just
as guilty as anyone else. From my understanding,
it was alive when Evergreen was nothing more than
trailors and has gone down like the sunset - our
comunityisdying.1 personaUy haven't seen the sun
go down, but I've talked to many people who have,
and they are sad to be finishing up their time at
college to leave us in the dark without a flashlight
or bon fire or something for us to see the light of
community.
One person I talked to told me that he, along
with his dorm last year, would have dorm wars with
their neighbor building out in Alphabet Soup. But
the key factor that made it all a good thing was the
fact being they knew each other and were great
friends. It was a fun war for them - not a personal
one. Ask any senior· they'll tell you about the "good
old days!"
As much as I've enjoyed certain parts of the
rivalry, 1would discourage any continuation of the
dorm wars. There's nothing I personally can do to
stop it, but for the sake of the people who are
personally upset about it, to reduce the vandalism,
and so that people feel safe leaving thier doors
unlocked, it's best to drop the war. There are still
plenty ofways to make things happen around here
- we have plenty of creativity for that.
But the next time you're wondering why
nothing is happening,l ask you, why might you be
in your room by yourself on a Friday night?

Make Up and Dub Narcotic appear to

an engaged audience. "It's no fun if the crowd

said. "They have to entertain us."
Indeed. Those who are up to the

no doubt find, at Friday's show, abundant

STUD
STUDENT TRUSTEE CANDIDATES
TRUSTEECA DIDATES (CONT'D)
Richard Myers (Junior)
The students listed below in alphabetical order have applied to be next year's Student Trustee. The Student Trustee serves as a voting member on Evergreen's
Board ofTrustees, the offidal governing body of the college. The Governor, with the consent of the Senate, makes the final appointment. The term is a one year
appointment. beginning June 1,2000. As part of the application process, applicants were required to submit a resume, two letters of recommendation, and written
responses to the following two questions:
1. What do you hope to accomplish as a Student Trustee?
2. Evergreen has both a graduate and undergraduate program, as well as a number of campuses around Washington. Ust some ideas you have about mechanisms for communicating with and responding to Evergreen students from all of these areas.
Provided below are the candidate responses to these two questions.
John Fortugno (G raduate Student)
1. A student's perspective on the Board ofTrustees will be crucial in formulating strategic direction for The Evergreen State College in the next year.The Board faces major questions
concerning expansion and the retirement of large numbers charter-member faculty. As the Student Trustee I want to playa substantive role in this decision-making process.
I am engaged as a student on many different levels: attending men's and women's basketball games with my daughter, enjoying the pool and gym with fellow students and staff, recruiting
students to work as mentors with Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Thurston County, and working with the TESC Prison Action Committee to bring student volunteers to local corrections facilities.
I've lived in the TESC dormitories and dined in the Greenery (albeit for short periods of time) while attending on-<ampus conferences. My home is adjacent to the campus and I've worked
with student groups in restoring native plants in the Green Cove Creek basin and other areas surrounding Evergreen.
All of these efforts and activities, in additionto being a TESC graduate student, provide me with the broad perspective necessary to represent the wide range of Greeners who need a voice on
the Board. Additionally, I am an experienced strategic planner who is well versed in the Board process. My goal is to collaborate with fellow trustees to keep The Evergreen State College a
place which focuses on student growth through interdisciplinary study, collaborative learning, personal engagement, and practical applications.
2.The Cooper Point Journal is a neglected and underutilized vehicle for intra-<ampus communication.The paper is not taken seriously-by its contributors or its few remaining readers.
The fact that the recycling bins are filled with copies of the Journal at the end of each week is a sorry testament to its present state. As a trustee I would encourage a campus dialogue with the
intention of resurrecting the Journal, making it a legitimate forum for the thoughts of those at other TESC sites as well.
The Web certainly has additional potential as a tool for staying in touch with Evergreen's wide-ranging student body. As a trustee, though, I would be a voice of caution in this area. While the
Internet is being heavily exploited by educational institutions of every stripe, TESC might be best served by remaining focused on providing intensive personal engagement, and thus
distinguishing itself from those who are concentrating too many resources in this area.
As a Qoard member I would encourage the President to conduct "town meetings' on a 'Tlonthly basis. I would seek to provide transportation to the main campus from the Tacoma site for
those who wish to attend in person as well as setting up teleconference video links at off-site locations.These will only be useful forums if the President is empowered to take immediate
action to address concerns brought by students and staff.
Jennifer Leise (F reshman)
1.lf I am chosen to be a student trustee I will begin by searching for a medium to access the unique voice of student population at Evergreen, as I will be representing their interests on
the Board.
.
2.1 realize that the student you choose to become a trustee will have a great deal of responsibility, the kind that often can't be perceived or understood. It is hard to act in the benefit of a
school such as Evergreen, which has thousands of students: undergraduate, graduate, plus many more in different places elsewhere. How can I represent this population? One of the premises
that I believe most students at Evergreen subscribe to, both in education and in their lives, is the realization of diversity. I feel that diversity is one of the strongest ties that binds us together as
a population of students because it permeates through our lives as students, as well as socially and,personally_ Diversity is what allows Evergreen to be such a unique institution.As we look to
the future you challenge me as an applicant for the student trustee position to address communication within the diverse population of Evergreen students. I feel there is only one viable
solution: create mediums for all members of the Evergreen community to access and distribute information. The most versatile medium available at this time is online access, which continues
on a daily basis to become increasingly vital in our lives. My suggestions for the future of communication in Evergreen through this medium include creating message boards online for
students to check up and meet up and keep informed. Create an open channel for the business community to advertise their unique services to Evergreen students. Finally. create a directory
of alumni to widen the channel of communication from students at Evergreen to the alumni in the work force.Through these changes Evergreen will open up to the world, and become more
tightly knit as a community.
Cindy Lough (S enior)
1.1 am applying for student trustee to broadly advocate students' voices. During my past three years as an Evergreen student, I've witnessed a strong commitment by the administrative
body to listen to students' concerns. Students are often encouraged to share their opinions on issues facing our college and most major committees at Evergreen include at least one
student. Despite such well-meaning effort students are not involved in enough institutional decisions and the majority of students are often left in the dark on administrative changes. As
the student member of Evergreen's Board ofTrustees,l hope to further promote student interests in the following ways.
I will encourage students to involve themselves in institutional issues by keeping students abreast of what's happening administratively. Previously this year, Evergreen renewed a contract
with a bank to provide on-campus ATMs. Unlike previous agreements, this year's contract included ATMs that charge fees to non-bank customers. I've listened to many students express
their disapproval with the fees, but students were not sufficiently informed of the contract renewal or invited to share their opinions. Although this is just a small example, it's a decision
made while students were kept in the dark. Students were not consulted on an important issue because nobody knew they cared. This is one of many situations where everyone would
benefit from informed students able to express their concerns.
I also hope to advocate students inclusion by ensuring a place for students in institutional decision-making processes. As a member of the board I will promote student presence on
committees and encourage administrative decisions to take into account student opinions. Evergreen has demonstrated strong effort in this area and I will encourage this to continue.
The role of student trustee must include accessibility to students. With my knowledge and involvement in the institution,l hope to act as a resource for concerned students. Currently I live
and work on campus. These connections to the student community will allow me to maintain contact and availability with students and to stay attentive·to their interests.
Lastly. as a trustee I hope to foster better communication between students and the administration. The Board ofTrustees is central to institutional changes at Evergreen.These changes
should be made known to students and the Board should attempt to ensure thorough communicatiqn with students. Although the administration regularly attempts to inform students
and welcomes student involvement, important decisions sometimes lack collaboration because neither group seems fully aware of the right avenues of communication.With my role on
the board ~d my understanding of the student body. I intend to facilitate more exchange between students and the Board of Trustees.
Ultimately I hope this position will allow me to further advocate for students'voices and encourage decision-makers to recognize students' interests.
2. Inclusion of students from these different Evergreen communities requires better utilization of existing lines of communication. I've maintained a good relationship with the editor of
the Cooper Point Journal. The CPJ could be used as a mechanism of communication by keeping the Olympia campus up to date with the Tacoma campus, Tribal Programs, Grays Harbor,
and our three graduate programs.
As student trustee I also hope to communicate with these student populations directly. I plan on attending graduate governance meetings and contacting student leaders at other
Evergreen campuses. The Tacoma campus has an active student board that could provide valuable feedback on the affairs of the Board ofTrustees. Even simple use of e-mail will improve
connections between campuses. By maintaining regular contact and strengthening already-existing forms of communication, Evergreen's other students might further provide to the
college and help our community meet their needs. I feel well-prepared to respond to other areas of Evergreen with my experience in communication and leadership.
Michael Selby (Sophomore)
1.1 hope to accomplish a number of things. FollOwing are my three largest priorities:
A.) I plan on being a public liaison and advocate for the many diverse student voices from our multiple campuses and schools around the state. Over the past 4 or 5 years,l have worked
extensively in public relations and communications and for the past 2 or 3 years I have been a peer mediator and counselor. These skills combined make me an excellent listener; someone
to whom anyone can bring any and all questions and concerns, no matter how big or small. These skills also mean that I am a practiced public speaker and will do all that I can to help
resolve student concerns.
B.) I would like to create a stronger and more visible bond between the Board ofTrustees and the student body. The Board ofTrustees is here to serve everyone associated with the Evergreen community: faculty, staff, and students. Unfortunately, I think too few students know who serves on the Board and I include myself among them. Before I decided to run for this
poSition, the only Board member I knew of was Sinnamon Tierney, the current Student Trustee. That is why, as Student Trustee I would make it a goal to empower students and student
voice so that, not only could any student feel comfortable approaching me with concerns or issues, but also to feel comfortable enough to approach the other members of the Board of
Trustees as well.
C.) As Student Trustee, I would strongly encourage and support students serving each other also. In this,l mean, students working on various boards and DTFs to affect positive change that
reflects the ideas of the student body. Evergreen is here as an institution to support us, the students - so the more students helping in the college's decision-making processes to create a
strong and vibrant school, the better. As part of supporting and fostering student voice in controlling our educational destiny, I would also like to strengthen the position of Student Trustee
itself; ensuring that the Student Trustee has the same rights and responsibilities as the other Board members would be a great step in creating a stronger student voice.
2.As a very active member of the Cooper Point Journal for the past two years and one of the co-coordinators next year, I know the CPJ inside and out and would write a weekly column
addressing student concerns, answering questions, and reporting on the activities of the Board ofTrustees. Over the summer, I plan to volunteer at KAOS for my own educational and
personal growth and I could use those skills I will gain while volunteering to find creative ways to share information over the airwaves. I would also use whatever electronic media I could; be
it telephone, e-mail, or web-site. But beyond all of that, I think human contact is the most important form of communication. That is why I would set up a table somewhere on-campus at
least once a week to talk to students on~n-{)ne.1 would also make it a point to travel in person to Evergreen's other campuses in the Puget Sound area as often as possible to listen to
student voice that is too often ignored.
I hope I hi\ve adequately answered the questions put to me by the application process. However, and more importantly, I would like to answer questions put to me by students. I'm not
sure how much of the application process students will be allowed to review, but if any students have questions or comments,l can be contacted at 867-9460.
1. Regardless if I am selected as the student trustee,l will continue to work to expand the perception held by many community members of who an Evergreen student is and the assumptions attached to that stereotype. Evergreen has one of the most diverse groups of students I have encountered on a college campus. We are a student body comprised of a full range of
individuals. We are conservative,liberal, young, old, and a thousand other classifications.
As Evergreen continues to grow I hope that diversification continues to grow; but more importantly, I hope the perception of who an Evergreen student is continues to broaden and people
gain a greater awareness of the diversity and talent inspired and developed at this college. I hope the awareness of the enlightened educational philosophy and practice of Evergreen grows
to the point that when someone thinks about Evergreen, more and mQre individuals think first of critical reasoning skills, educational commitment, and excellence-instead of blue hair.
(Please note that I am in awe of some of my blue-haired fellow students, not for the brilliance of their hair, but the brilliance of their minds:)
As a student trustee,l would aspire to represent the wide and diverse groups of students that make up the Evergreen student body. And always keep in mind the central principles that lay
the foundation for Evergreen's unique gift to education."The main purpose of a college is to promote student learning through: interdisciplinary study, collaborative learning, learning across
significant differences, personal engagement, and linking theory with practical applications:
2. Student news web page-one site for all Evergreen activities, all campuses, which would serve two functions-information and to help promote a sense of unity with other campuses;
Cooper Point Journal; email specifically for Student to Student Board Trustee member; talk to people and ask faculty to make announcements to increase student awareness of web page,
email, Board issues; and increase awareness through visiting classes and other campuses to inform students of board activities.
i
According to the state statute, Evergreen is required to submit a minimum of three names
and no more than five names for the Governor's
consideration; In order to comply with this statute, there will be a run-off election held on April
11 and 12. The five students receiving the most
votes will have their names forwarded to the
Governor. Complete candidate applications are
available for review at the Student Activities
Office front desk, CAB 320. call x6220 if you
have any questions.

1.1 am uniquely suited to fill the position of Student Trustee at The Evergreen State College. My vast experience working in the public sector has honed my communication skills while
working with a diverse population.The position would offer me a learning experience by serving on a board and gaining knowledge of how the process works. It would heighten my
educational and career goals as well.
I will be a friend the students can take seriously and represent them in a role that is important to our academic life.The beliefs of The Evergreen State College focus on student inciusion.Our
diversified student body requires a ~tudent trustee who will not be intimidated. I take education seriously, and the transition from academic life to a good job with dignified wages is our
ultimate goal.
2. Communication with the diverse group of Evergreen students would be handled in several ways. To include, but not limit to, an ongoing informative article in the Cooper Point Journal,
and information publicized through KAOS radio station. Tacoma Campus Student Affairs Coordinator would be contacted to distribute information on campus to students. Coordinating with
each tribal-based program individually would require creative communication on my part. I would set up a table in the CAB and advertise to students when I would be available to discuss
their questions and ideas. I will be available to students via phone, correspondence, and e-mail. Personal visits may be essential as well jn order to properly represent all Evergreen students.
Since the position of student trustee is still in its infancy, it would be an honor for me to serve the students of The Evergreen State College at this historic time. The beginning of a new
millennium, and the appointment of a new president suggests exciting and innovative approaches on issues pertinent to our daily academic life.
The Evergreen student body is a rich blend of cultural diversity. Therefore, problem-solving must include the perspective of that unique culture. Students will be assured their viewpoints are
respected. My goal in representing the students' views and helping to make informed, responsible choices for the school is what the student trustee position is all about.
The Evergreen State College is a community of learners. Growth and expansion are to be expected. It is important as a student trustee to sustain and protect our creative educational en'vironment.
As an older, returning student I appreciate the small student-ta-faculty ratio. I believe in Evergreen's interdisciplinary method of teaching. and the opportunity to create our own academic
paths. I will continuously portray to students the relevance of getting a solid education and how it will contribute to their standard of living.
I will be an advocate for students, and community member on the Board ofTrustees.
