What this means: Most Li ce nse tabs
will be $30; voter approval will be required
for all new taxes and fees (ranging from
library fines to property lax increases).
Washington will become the only state
with such a measure.
Further fall-out will probably include road
construction delays,
cutting of
government jobs, reduction in bus service,
and possibly even a property tax initiative
to stave orf possible emergencies.
This initiative is estimated to cost the state
treasury about $750 million a year. It may
be unconstitutional due to breaking rules
on single topic initiatives, taking taxing
and lawmaking approval from the
legislature, and amending the state
Constitution illegally.
SUmmary: Peopl e who own old
Volkswagen vans will have to pay as much
on tabs as people who bu y new Lex us
SUVs.

What this means: This initiative
would have banned most commercial

An upcoming class on a natural method
of birth control called Fertility Awareness is
being sponsored by. the Student Health Center.
Fertility awareness is a natural method of birth
control that is eaSl' to use and has a 98-99
percent effective nes~s rate for women who learn
the method well and observe their body signs
carefully by writing it down on a dail y chart.
Fertility Awareness is based on the obsrrvation
and charting of scientifically proven tertility
signs in a woman's body.
This method was made kn own to
Western culture in th e early 19605 by two
Australian ph),sicians, Evelyn and john
Billings. They studied a group of women who
observed and charted the daily changes in th e
sensation and consistency of their cervical
tluid. The Billings' compa red these women's
charts to th eir daily blood and urin e hormone
levels and found a direct correlation betwee n
the quality of the cervical fluid and fertility.
From these findillgs, they bega n tea ching The
Ovulation Method.
Between 1972 and 1990, 17 s tlldies
co nducted in 11 different countries spanning
17,525 couples showed The Ovulation Method
averaged 99 percent ·method' eAectiveness for
those who applied it correctly. according to a
report ti'om the World Health Organization.
Method effec t iv(' ness defin es how the
method works if used cOHectly. User
effectiveness takes into account the billlre of
an individual to perforlll the corrert steps.
(remembering to take the pill, or observing
and charting.) According to Toni Weschler in
Takin g Charge of yo ur Fertility, the IIser
effectiveness of tertility awarcness is RiI-90
percen t.
From 1976 to 1995 , more than 28 books
were written documenting the three primary
fertility signs in a woman's body: cervical fluid,
waking body temperature, and changes in the
shape and position of the cervix. By observing
tht'st' changes on a daily basis, a woman can
know precisely whell she is fertile. To avoid a
pregnancy, couples using The Ovulation
Method would abstain trom sexual intercourse
during this time. Fert ility Awareness is the
terminology that would apply to couples who

DTF discusses parking issues
by Art Costantino
As most of you know, our parkillg lots
are vcry congested. As we grow to S,OOO
students by 2010-2011, our need fo r
additional parking is likely to in creasc, and
we will be required by codc to add addition;!1
parking spaces as part of the construction of
Seminar II. A consultant hired by th e college
estimates tltat to accommodate our growth
we willnecd an additional 520 stalls, which
is the approxilllatr size of Parking Lot B. Sin ce
parking lot construction is funded fi'olll the
sale of parking permits , tlte addit iOIl orthese
spaces is likely to result ill dralllatic incn'asL's
in the cos t of parking permits. Research dOll('
this sumlTler suggests that adding SLO
parking spaces could re.sult in a douhling of
thl' costofa parking permit. The pllrpnse of

rhythm method users? Parents. Fertility
Awareness is not rhythm, it is awareness.
Secondly, allopathic medicine is largely
inllllenced by pharmaceutical companies that
do not profit from people who take
responsihility for their own health ca re or
birth control. Most people who inquire about
natural methods at doctors ' otlices are simply
told that they do not work. The Student Health
Center at Evergrec n is a refreshin g exception
to this as they have been sponsoring Fertility
Awareness classe s and promoting it to
interested students lor several years.
Fertility Awareness is best suited to
couples in monogamous, sta ble relationships
who are not concerned about th e us e o r
condoms to prevent STDs.
Aside from birth control, tim e arc also
the added benetits of increa sed
communication between partners, improved
understanding or sex uality, enhanced health
awareness and greater peace of mind in
avoiding pregnancy. Fertility Awareness ca n
also be used by couples with infert ilit y
problems who want more knowledge about
natural pregnancy achievement
If you choose to learn Fertility
Awareness, it is best to take a class from a
qllalified teacher. judy Ilicklllann, Ce rtified
Fertility Educator is offering the next class on
Fertility Awareness on Nov. 10 and 17 at 6:30

Presidental Search
Mumia: Just Another
Committee Concealed Asinine Student Movement
by Kris Hooper
Over the past week, I've COITIP to the
conclusion that Evergreen is a lot like David
Copperfield, it's a master of sleight of hand.
While the caillpus adillinistration throws us a
bone and we chase it, it turns out the bone is right
llllder our nose.
Look around for yourself. You'll have
probably already not iced sOllle of t11(' pamph let s
and gratIiti on calTlpus proclailTling that the
World Trade Organization and its evil ways lTIust
be stopped. Whi le some Greeners pursue this
notabl e calise, ~ o mething is happening under
ollr Ilose that hasn't gainl'd much notice on
campus . Evergreen President janc jcrvis is
retiring at the l'nd of this year and the quest is
on to find a replacement.
A Presidential Sl'arch Commi tt cc has been
fa nned to solicit app li ca ti ons and nominations
for th e position ofPrcsident. Advertisements for
the opening havE' been placed in various
nl'wspapers and magazines, while Jane jervis and
one of the academic deans, john Cushin g, have
been maili ng letters to various destinations
asking for peopll' that cou ld be nominatcd to th e
post.
These letters have been mailed to other
colleges and 54 letters have beenillailc,d to statc
governors, including our own former governor,
Dan Evans, a person who was instnllllenlal in
Evergreen being built.
The search comlTl ittl'e already ha s GO
completed applications and 2,.7 incomplete
applications. I\pplications will cont inu e to be
accepted until the search COllllllitll'e selects the
finalists. In january, the search committce will
narrow the fil'ld to' 12 applica nt s. Fiw of these
people will becollll' the Iinalists and their
applications will be sent to the Hoard orTrtlst('('s
to make the linal derision .
People reading this could say to themselves, "So
what?" when it comes to the process of select ing
the next President.
Do n't be so quick to dismiss it, though.
HaVE' you heard anything about the Presidential
Search Committee before? It wouldn't be a
stretch to say that Evergreen's Social Contract is
being bent. In thl' contract under th e heading of
Intellectual Freedom and Honesty, there is a
quot e that states, "Research or other intellectual
elforts, the results of which must be kept secret
or may be used on ly lor the benefit of;\ special
interest group, violate the principle of free
inquiry." If the select ion 01 a co ll cge president
isn't an intellectual l'lJi)rt , then M E:--.JSA (the high
IQsociety) is a support group for pllnchy boxers.
One could also·logica II y say th a t the resea rch
being co ndu ci ed is being used by a specia l
illtcrest gro up. All the work being done by the
Prcsidelltial Search Commill ec will end lip ill the
hands of the Board of Tr USll'es, who have the
final ca ll. In a way, the search comm ittee is like a
puppet st ate; th('y make the dl'cisions regarding
applicants but ultimately have no power over the
final s('l ection. No lTIatter who the Hoard of
Trusll'l's chooses , thc search comm ittee has no
choice but to accept it.
It depends on your point of view if the
Presidential Search Committee has been tainted
by bureaucratic corruption since it is ignoring
tt'le genl'ral Ewrgreell studellt body, There arc
only three st udents on th e search committee. At
lea~t you hav e lwen w;][ncd of the upcoming
changes here at Evergreen next ycar. So the next
timc anyone has the urge to make statements ill
spray paint in rderence to the WTO, think about
the i'residential Search Commi ttee. After all,
activism works hest when it's loca l.
This country has a long history of its
affluent college students protesting anything
that they think may prove they are
revolutionaries too. It is through these asinine
and foolishly organized movements that the
farce of freedom and the lies of democracy are
allowed to pervade our political and social sstem.
In addition, I must say that the "resistance" to
the fulfilling of Mumia's sentence is among the
most asinine. The ever-so-balanced articl e
entit led "Who is Mumia Abu-jamal" is a
journalistic farce. In additio n to it being
tragically unbalanced, it was misinforming.
During any trial, Federal or not, anyone can
be removed Irom the courtroom at any time; it
is called contempt of court. Moreover, why have
so many people gathered in the defense of a
convicted murderer? The pervading popUlation
of uninformed pseudopolitical yout hs on college
campuses is the very animal that allows these altogether imbecilic movements to persist. I do not
know ifMumia killed Officer Faulkner, but I do
know he was convicted.
Now, whether or not his trial was fair
should 1I0t matter in our capital driven court
system.lfit is that capital driven system that you
claim to be fighting, a single pardon will not
change this from a capitalist society; it will not
even almost help that effort. Throwing stones in
a field of wildflowers will not even wake the
dragon of capitalism. The freeing ofMumia will
not makc the police stop abusing their power, it
will not bridge the gap between the classes, or
th e races, it will not make you or I more free, it
will put a convicted murderer back on the streets.
If the question is ofa conspiracy against the poor
and dissident, at lrast in the State of
Pennsylvania the conspiracy would have to g:::> a
long way. It has involved the Mayor of
Philadelphia, the Govemor, a number ofJud~'s,
the july. the police, the Appeal Council etc.:f I
was on death row I would say did not do i' as
well, I would say my trial was flawed, I wOlld
ask the governor, the state, and the federal ccurt
of appeals for a pardon too. The tendency for
self-preserva tion is among the most basi: in
sentient beings. I would try to ge t a bunn of
inherently malleable college students to figh for
my freedom too. The dominating sentimert of
the Mumia movement does not answer one bsk
question; did he or did he not kill Offcer
Faulkner? Mumia himselfhas not sa id whe hcr
he killed Faulkner, yet he maintains his
innocence. Mr. Abu-Jamal was not convicte,l by
his judge, he was not convicted by his less hen
adequate defense, and he was not convictei by
the Fraternal Order of Police, he was cQnvilted
by a jury of his peers. His sentence/, fair or net, is
lega I the state law of Pen nsylvani~ clearly alhws
for the penalty of death to be implemented fby
resistance we mean to ensure having one nore
convicted murderer around I might well op;for
apathy and acceptance, a bitter and distast>fi.il
couple but much better than tiltin t at
wildflowers and calling them windmills.

Devil's Advocate on Radar
by Mike Duggan
So, O.K ... I'm driving down Driftwood
Lane towards the dorms and Cooper's Glen when
all of a iudden these two cop cars come out of
NOWHERE (actually, they came from the
MODS)and pull me over. "What's the problem?"
I thought. "32 in a 25mph zone isn't abnormal
around here." Jut as I thought this, the officer
handed ne a big fat ticket. Now I, being the rogue
that I an, asked the kind omcer why he was
preying on the innocent (and poor) and naive
(and brcke) studen ts of Evergreen, His carefu llyplanned response was this: "You see, there are
many pedestrians hom Housing and children
roam ing the streets, and speeding puts them in
danger."
"Sure,"1 sa id. "Thanks for the warning, but
-1l0W that I see the hidden danger, is a ticket really
necessary?!?" Sensing my sarcasm, the officer
out tickets to college students that not only pay
their salaries, but constitute the very communit y
that they so fervently try to "protect"? And don't
give me that public safety dung either. I have
been here for three long years and during that
simply replied "Yes". And that was that.
Upon scanning the ticket for the officer's
proof that I was even speeding in the first place,
I was shocked to find that fated box had been
checked "RADAR"
Now, maybe I'm out of touch with the
commun ity, but WHAT THE HELL ARE THE
TESC COPS DOING WITH RADAR GUNS??! I??
Let them have bikes, let them have cars, hell, even
let them have guns if that's what th ey need to
"ensure the safety and security of campus" (read:
"make them feel more secure in their
occupat ion"), but will somebody please explain
to me why they need RADAR'!!? They get our
money from tuition, they get our money by
taking away kitchens and forcing us to go broke
on Greenery and Deli gruel, they get our money
by hiking up prices in the bookstore, so why the
hell do they need to gene rate revenue by handing
"I don't think many people
are awash with a sense of
safety and security ... "
time I can 't recall a single incident where lillie
Billy Glenkid was thrown to the wind by an
insane road hog going 32 in a 2S. As a matter of
fact, the only traffic accidents that I have seen
(aside fi'om the occasional seizure in B-lot) have
been on Evergreen Parkway, a road traveled
highly by non-students. I know you've seen the
speed traps, and I don't think many people arc
awash with a sense of safety and secu ri ty when
two police cars are fervently irradiating them
with their motion tracking beams of "safety"
(read: "revenue generation").
And the worst part is that the people who
are gelling ticketed are most likely to be thGse ill
the area (studen ts and people who unfortunately
ended up in Coopers Glen) who are living with
the tightest budgets and lowest incomes in th e
area. Why not go up to the north side of Cooper
PI. Road (where the average speed i~ G5 in a 35)
if you want ticket mon ey so had?? The saddesl
part is that alier all the tickets have bee n issued ,
and every Greener late for class and in a rush to
get home and watch Buffy is paying $3000/
month for insurance, they are actually going to
call the radar gum "a success." A FRICK1N '
SUCCESS!!! It is just one more example of how
our lovely little hippie bubble is slowly evolving
into a police state ... but more on that later.
Thank You Evergreen!

few people, about to embark on a wild

time and people, wildly leaving a mess of debts
and chaos wherever her large, stomping, dancing
feet roam. She cannot help it. She is alone, a
stranger. She is losing money. She has no place
to live, she is losing her job because it does not
sllit her wild ways. She offends new li-iends as
she implores th~m to support her habit s, her
need to eat and her obnoxious East Coast wily
ways. She is trying on new personalities, making
lip for lost time and seeking balance. She is a
foreigner, desperately trying to find her homc

struggling to survive. And so she lives oft· othe r

Soo n the mad month winds down. She
senses a change both within herselfand outside.
People are grow ing impatient. She is too. She
doesn't like who she's become in the survival
game of capturing attention. She knows it is time
to retum to her self, balanced, compassionately
wild and kind. Things are settling, friends are
sifting and asserting, debts are being paid, and
the time for gratitude is dawning.

Cooper Point journal
In a joint announccnillt today, U.S.
Senators Slade Gorton and Patty Murry, Plum
Creek Timber Corporation, the United States
Forest Service, and 8 environmental groups from
Washington disclosed a landmark agreement to
complete the 1- 90 land exchange in Central
Washington.
For those who care to know, this means that
the watch mountain tree sit is now on land that
will not be traded away, to life sucking
corporations- WE WON! Watch mountain,
along with other parcels of old growth and the
lands that marbled murlets were found on earlier
this year, were all dropped from the exchange.
This campaign was hard-won and ha s
literally consumed the lives of many dedicated
activists from Olympia and other local areas. To
these people, we owe a huge thank you for
.g •
November 4, 1999
in vesting their li ves into keeping Ollr public lands
public. And to the people of Randle (who cooked
dinner for the tree sit more than once) we owe a
standin g round of applause for their
unprecedented willingness to collaborate with
enviromental groups in pursuit of public land
protection ,
Peace, and PROTECT PUBUC LANDS.
There is more to come in future !SSlles 011 this
