Second-year student dies
after falling six stories
by Whirney Kvasager

Rory Luke Kauffman died Monday,
Feb. 27, after falling from his 7th floor
A-dorm window.
Police estimate Kauffman's fall to
have taken place between 4 a.m. and 6
a.m.
At 8:25 a.m., Kauffman's body was
found by a TESC student who
subsequently telephoned the police.
Kauffman,
an
18-year-old
sophomore, lived alone in his A-buiding
studio. He was a student in the program
"Iluminations. "
Thurston County Coroner Judy
Arnold said "there was nothing [at the
scene] to suspect that it wasn't suicide."
Rory Luke Kauffman
She then came out with a statemen t
for print in the Olympian ruling the death as a suicide.
.
A toxicology test has been performed, but results were not available as ofitt_~s
time.
"...
"We will still be contacting people who still have any information," said Steve
Huntsberry, Director of Police Services .., We jllst don't want to miss a lit on any
information."
He said he doesn't want people to think the police are questioning the opinion
of the coroner, but there may be more information that wasn 't available at the scene.
"It 's an ongoing investigation for Evergreen to satisfy itself that we know
everything that 's happened," he said .
"All we're doing is making sur e there's no loose ends . ..
As lon g as the investigat ion is still in progress, say Police Serv ices, th e police
can not release add iti onal details.

Bus funding rally lands at the Capitol building
By Mac Lojowsky
On Saturday, February 26, one day before
major changes in public transit took place,
around three hundred concerned citizens
ga thered at Sylvester Park. The transit changes
come as a direct result of the passage of last
November's 1-695. By voting for a flat, $30
license tab fee, voters unknowingly gouged
aro und $750 million from the State of
Washington's transportation funds.
The changes include the elimination of
thirteen routes: 14, 23, 61, 63, 65, 66X, 67, 74,
75, 81, 84 , 95 and 96. In addition to loss of
these routes and the reduction of many others,
all Sunday bus service has been canceled.
Those most affected by the cuts in public
transportation are students, seniors, alterabled and low-income citizens.
The Saturday rally was called in order to
urge the state Legislature to provide emergency
funding for transit from the present budget
surplus. The rally also demanded that th e state

Address Service Requeslcd

248050 blared over his loud speaker, "I hope
it's not yo ur mother being raped. Now move!"
Seeing that the tripod people were adamant
about maintaining their positions, the police
simply blocked off Capitol Boulevard frolll
11th Avellue to 14th Avenue. By blocking off
the road, all publiC viewing of the
demonstration was effectively shut down for
the rest of the afternoon. Even so, the tripod
people remained suspended, occasionally
shouting "We don't want no more fuckin ' cars!
Permanent funding for public transit!"
Soon after the streets were blocked off, a
public address system was brought in front of
the fountain and various community members
Degan giving speec hes. Mary McKnew, a
disabled-rights lawyer and Board Member of
the Tacoma Area Coa lition oflndividuals with
Disabilities, spoke about how funding cuts
affect alter-abled citizens. The transit cuts
mean "people with disabilities will lose their
jobs, or become isolated in their homes-

ullable to even ge t to necessary medical
appointments or to do minimal grocery
shopping."
Larry Leveen, owner ofOlybikes, a small
downtown business, expressed his concern
over the damage done by 1-695. "Not only is it
a social justice issue, but it's also bad for the
economy," he said. "We need to tell business
owners and elected officials to restore public
transit. "
Later in the afternoon, around 70 people
from the rally met to discuss their concerns
with Sta te Representatives Lynn Kesler and
Mark Maston, of the House Appropriations
Committee. Citizens discussed 1-695, long
term funding ideas and options for local
governments to levy taxes. As far as short-term
funding was concerned, the Representatives
sa id they were unable to accommodate the
citizens requests.

for fundin g public transportation.
Steve Langer. Thurston County
Democratic Candidate for County
Commissioner explained, "l'm a psychologist
by profession. A number of the people I see are
disabled or ill , and the y need publiC
transportation to get around ... By losing public
transportation, we're moving backward,
instead offorward in terms of building a livable
community. We need to start moving
forward."
Promptly at noon, the citizens took over
Capitol Boulevard, and marched towards the
Capitol building. When the procession arrived
in front of the Capitol fountain , a small group
of people set up a tripod on each side of the
street. This unannounced action forced a large
number of unknowing people into a position
of civil disobedience. Olympia police soo n
arrived and tried to persuade the tripod people
to move off the street. An officer in car number

By Mac Lojowsky
By 4:00 p.m. last Thursday, the everpresent library lobby banners had been
removed from Sight. While stages were raised
and chairs were placed, patriotic red, white and
blue banners replaced "Vagina Monologues"
and "Capitalism is Harmful to the
Environment." Suited, clean-cut, aspiring
young Democrats from presidential candidate
Bill Bradley's political machine ran neurotic
circles through the library building, preparing
for the man's scheduled six-thirty appearance,
As the fire department checked codes and
the bomb-sniffing dogs made their rounds, the
lobby quickly filled with students, Olympia
community members and Secret Service
agents. Bob Marley, Lionel Ritchie, the Blues
Brothers and Neil Diamond carried the crowd
through until seven o'clock, when Bradley
finally appeared.
He was flanked by Oregon Governor John
Kitzhaber, Evergreen President Jane Jervis (who
received more applause in her brief
introduction than Bradley did the entire
evening) and Evergreen student and member
of the newly formed Evergreen Students for
Political Awareness, Ken DeLorey.
Before Bradley opened his mouth, an
Evergreen student jumped up and requested
that he skip his speech, and move directly into
question and answer. Appearing open to the
idea, Bradley took a vote from the audience if
they wanted to hear the speech and then have
questions, or skip the speech all together. By a
small margin, the people voted to hear the
speech.
As Bradley launched into his typical

politician speech of "I was born in a small
town," Evergreen students began dropping
banners from the balcony railings. One banner
read, "Hey Evergreen, What About Our
Political Posters?" Bradley's speech rehashing
his past glory as a basketball star and his
"green" voting record as a state Senator was well
received by the audience. Not to let his rival go
unscathed, Bradley informed the audience that
with the League of Conservation Voters he had
earned an 84 with his voting record, while Al
Gore earned a 64.
Although Bradley and his campaign
organizers may have believed that he could
easily sway the "liberal" crowd with a good
green washing, Evergreen students had tougher
questions on their minds. Immediately, Bradley
was questioned about a $87,500 contribution
from Lehman Brothers, who is related to
Peabody Coal, involved in the forced relocation
at Big Mountain. Bradley professed ignorance
to both the company's holdings and the issue,
but assured the audience that "I will have
second place to no one when it comes to Native
American rights."
Bradley answered the audience's
questions with the grace and style of a man who
was born to be a politician. With a bright smile
always on his face, he managed to pull in a
number of topics into each answer he gave, Not
only does Bradley support tougher fuel
efficiency standards for sport utility vehicles,
but he also vows to push for acceptance of the
Kyoto Accords. He wants to enact a
moratorium on offshore oil drilling, increase
wetlands protection and fully fund the Land
and Conservation Fund,

Others sat siirntly staring into co lored
candles and incellse placed in the middle of a
drum ci rcle in the ('cho chamber.
A lew students all the sevellth fl oor orA·
dor III sat in the kitchen. aile, eating pasta, had
no comment other thall, "I don't know. I don't
know what to say."
Then aroulld 6 p.m ., the Edge room in Adorm began to fill with people for a 1l1eeting,
but there was minimal talking-some were
([ying-most were staring.
"Loss can happen at any tillie, but it
usually catches us unprepared," says Dr.
Andrew Wei!, in his article titled Healing
through Crief. "While each person grieves
differently and deals wi th different losses in
different ways. the gril'vi ng process itselfis the
samp as well as its ultimate goal- acceptance
of' new circumsta nces."
Susan Kravit Irom th e COllllSeli ng Center
sr nt a lIIemo to tht CP) detailing the stages of
grief following a loss:
Shock alld Denial -This stage can br vcry
useli.d to Il ~ by allowing us to kcep filllctiolling
immediately after an evenl. Later, denial can
ge t in the way of resolving gril'f.
CUilt/Anger - Can be directed at
ollrselves ftlr not doing sOlllcthing dillerently.
at the person who died for making crrtia n
choices, or at the circulllstances of their drath.
Sadness - Empathy for the person who
dird or their family. Missing that person's
presence. Sadness about the circumstances of
the death. Realization of our own mortality.
Acceptance - Moving on with your life,
accepting that the person who died has also
moved on. "
In addition, past grief may come to the
surface when a recent loss triggers it.
"It is import ant to acknowledge the
different sources of grief and focus your

grieving where it belongs even ifit is on a past
event." Kravit said. "The need to do this only
means that feelings about your past loss got
5t irred up."
So she suggests a few things people can
do to let their fee lings out:
Write, cry, talk to others, spend time
alone, sleep, do schoolwork, or anyth ing else
that feels right.
Student Carrie Zanger agrees.
Zanger has been diagnosed with clinical
depression and she. like many, is having a
hard time with the loss.
"Since I've gone through depression and
one suic ide attempt, it just brought back
painful memories," Zanger said of Rory 's
death.
"It triggers some saddness and lear of
losing people."
Zanger said a variety or things help her
keep her chin up during these trying times.
Most importantly. you should talk til
someone like a counselor.
" I think there's a misconception in our
society that therapy is this evil thing," she
sa id. "But, you're jmttalking to somebody."
Za nger also suggests staying health y
and getting involved with filii activities-talk
to Iriends.
"G rief requires expressio ll , and
suppressing your teelings may prolong th e
gri eving process ," writ(,s Weil. "Aiso. mall\'
peo ple find it therapcutic to share their
memories of the person who died or to speak
at a memorial serv ice or funeral. "
A mcmorial will be held on Monda\' :

Where: Meet at the

When a community member dies, the
newspaper of that community has a
challenging task. In this case, the task was
deciding whether to print a photo taken at
the scene of Rory Kauffman's death.
Faced with this challenge, the CPJ statf
spent many hours over the last three days
considering various consequences and, after
exploring every avenue we cou ld imagine,
most of the staff decided printing the photo
would be in the best interest of the
community.
As editor of the CP), thi s has been the
hardest decision I've ever faced.
A newspaper, by nature, carries a lot of
power and this photo, in particular, has the
power to inform, hurt. and spark. It also has
the power to covey something 110 words call:
Suicide ends only in death.
While words can do some justice to this
fact, we felt the photograph went all the way,
and I believe that's important. We wanted
to make sure that the newspaper not paint a
pretty or dishonest portrait of suicide and
effectually glorifY its consequences.
The photograph will hurt for some, and
shock others. The CPJ staffspent many hours

considering these feelingsunfortunately,
ethical
decisions are never black and
white.
I cannot stress enough
how hard this has been for me
the CP) staff. and th~
photographer t hat took the
photo .
We finally decided we
were not in a position to
protect you from seeing what
many students saw that
Ill0rIllllg-lt s real , it\
painful, and it's scary for
ewryone .
I choose to inform
readers about Ollr decision
becausr I believe it's your right
to know. If you have any
further questions or concerns ,
our doors are open.

"dulllpstcrcd," or salvaged from trash ,

"We use ru sty objech we find in th e

across the Un ited States, " he boasted,
The rooster ha d accompanied them from
Vermont, where he 'd be en nam ed "T he

"He's ollr favorite , he's our boy," sa id 0Jei!.

2. Start your own program.

1. Bring a cardboard separator, recruit four gals
and four guys and pretend you're Chuck
Woolery in the "Love Connection"

Simple Simon's Politics

For many folks like me, it is so easy to feel
like a failurr to humanity. You have a strange
feeling tlrat YOll are the only person that
mJtters , but tire ani), reason you matter is if
other people recognize your existence and your
worth ill a commullity. Why is it thus? Without
s t'lf ~ l ove, WI;' cannot survive; though mainly
depe ndpnt on outside approval that type of
love wells from within. Drugs and Alcohol can
fr ee up inhibiti ons, but th ey are still just a
sy mpt o m of that la ck of inner love we all
expe rirnce from time te time. Our bigges t
mistake co mrs from wh en we assuille to be
hi gher or greater thall other human beings. To
assume that some ex perience in our lifr has
so mehow made us better than anoth er person
is false. In addition, to assume th at we are
grra trr than oth ers onl), returns us to the clique
mentalit), of high sc hoo l. I knew th err was a
problem in my gro up of fri ends wlren I was
findin g it hard tu introduce and includc lIew
people in our soc ial moments. And I knew
th erl' was a problem when I began to realize
how some folks m;lke fun o f my various
phYSical fault s and l11e. For some reason. Illy
friends arc particularly crllel. And Iny fri cnds
arc very reluctant to trust lIew people . Yet, I
am cruel sOllletimes, too. My occasional (haha l loll' self~ estee l1l breeds hyper-cr iti ca lity of
olhers. It wouldll 't be so bad if tir e disrespect

The faces are false t hl'sr da),s, even whcn
you reac h out to other people you often do not
get the help you really need. I spent my tee n
years bouncing from counselor to counselor.
In th e times of "tell an adult you are being
abused," I wa s often told by my trusted
minister and counselors that my father's
behavior was my fault, that I shouldn't provoke
him, and that maybe I should "try and walk in
his shoes for awhile. n They never tried stopping
him from terrori zing me. My own mothcr
co uldn't stop it. Thus the damage was clone
and my ability to trust. . .forevl'f shatterrd.
Iluman trust is fragil e and our basic essential
need to be touched and loved is so important.
When no one touch es you. a~ bring ulltouched
lo r long past a yea r, depress ion comes like big
silent blanket.
Thus, to wake out of my state I start ed
cloing pllblic service. First, I believe in jesus's
teac hin gs of service and humbl ene ss.
Servanthood is a complex idea these days.
However, as far as I am concerned it is a human
necessity to serve others in a physical. nonmonetary way as a follower of th e teachings of

jeslls Christ. Second, psychologically having
others dependent upon me and in cru cial need
of me alld my talents fill s in sOllle of the void
of hum all co ntact I feel as a single person. I ca n
give of myse lf until m)' energy dries up, but as
a voluntrer I am always needed and loved.
Third, in service I always have a place to be and
so methin g to do other th an being forced to
stand abo ut and be social with the nonse rvants. I cann ot relate to those who have
blind eyes to the work orthe servan!. wh o ca n

Why have so many folks beco mr so co ld

I wOlild like- to say farew ell to my
classmate Rory, a IrIlow performer ill our play
"Life is a Dream'" as through this story. In the
days of long, long ago, when the land was in
stagnation the people would ask a man to rome
forward to become th e King Stag. During that
year even if others had to starve to feed him ,
down to the vrry mother's milk, he was fed and
clothed in great grandeur. No home was closed
to him, he co uld lay with an)'onr he wished,
and his off~pring would be blessed. Whrn th e
spring came after the long winter with grrat
ce remony he wOlild be dreked with !lowers and
an antlered crown alld sent out into th e fo rrst.
There he would choose his death i"or the ben efit
of the land . His ashes wrre spread out across
th e land and the Earth was rich ened by his
sacrifice. In th ose da),s th ey belirved ever),thin g
happens for a rrason and fr o111 dea t h rises n('w
life. It is the way ollr universe works. From this
sad ness will come hope and still each day we
rise and greet our bright hope for tomorrow.
Peace, on your journey.

understand that this viewpoint isa common one

I am 100 perc ellt against any form of
monetarily compensated Student Government.
Thr thought of community cohesiveness ,
CUlllll?ctivity, and fair-representation are valuable
ideals, but I do not see how this can be gained
through paying "elected" people.
Therr are o th er meth odologies to
accomplish this goal , as N. Larson mentioned ill

not '"open" r llough on student issues? What

will be marginalized, lost , or mis-represented

I believe that "you get out ofTESCwhat YOLi

and if the community really wants to put a
