Waking up
The sun is rising outside
Why is it that I only see it rise
when I have been up all night?
I cannot wake with it on days when I have slept
I miss it, its rays creeping through my window
and striking me slowly as I drowse,
blissfully unaware of what is happening outside
Only when it has fully risen do I awake,
not knowing how it got there,
but aware of its existence all the same
But on nights when I have been working
or writing until my eyes feel bleeding and raw
then I see the light touch the sky
And I wonder
Why don't I wake up sooner?

TESC President Jane Jervis belts out the Evergreen fight song, which, for
those of you who don't know, goes a little something like this :
Go, Geoducks, Go, through the mud and the sand, let's go.
Siphon high, squirt it out, swivel all about, let it all hang out.
Go, Geoducks, go, stretch your neck when the tide is Ibw,

come together. On Sept IS, the faculty and
staff converged tor thm largest gathering ot the
year to hear President Jane Jervis and others
outline the challenges for the coming session:
academic standards. campus growth and
fi nancial strai n.
Jervis started ollThe Evergreen State
College's 29th academic year outlining for the
faculty two tasks that are "not optional":
I1nishing the design process of Seminar II and
examining what Evergreen means by "general
education."
Jervis also gave a brief up-date on the
• search tor her replacement, 'The ads are out
and a lar.?,e amoun t of nominations have been
received. '
The Presidential Search Committee
expects to give a lis't ofl1nalists to the Board of
Trustees by January 2000.Jervis added that the
time is now for faculty members to recruit
through their own academic networks .
Applications are due in October.
Jervis then outlined her goals for her I1nal
year as president.
1. Complete the $1,000,000 Fund For
Innovation.
2. Complete the Cal Anderson lecture series
3. The Planned Giving program
4. Faculty development
Jervis closed with a challenge to the
faculty to raise $100,000 for faculty
development.
Barbara Smith, academic vice president
and provost, explained the challenge of
defining "general education."
The issue is how Evergreen meets general
.,
C>
and decide to take extra classes in the subject,
delaying graduation. This holds true of many
Advanced Placement/Runlling Start students
who may have earned previous college credit
in fields they are no longer interested in.
Whatever the case may be, the delaying
of graduation can certainly takes its toll on the
students who are trying to graduate in four
years. Those who can graduate, but choose not
to, may IIOt be aware of the fact that they are
preventing others from graduating as ~vcll.
thus perpetuating a vicious circle that repeats
ad infinitllm. By blocking clas.~es that other~
need, "professional students" risk having more
students bluck classes lor others down the line,
due to thC' f;Kt that they now need these Cla~'l'.~
that were unavailable to them at the time.
Here, the best advice may be MaureC'n
Chao's own advice. "If you're going to spend
an extra year studying what you love, go to
graduate schooL" This is, of cOllrse. keeping
in mind they'lIll't YOll in with a liberal arts
maJor.
education requirl'llIC'nts: basic levels of math ,
English and science at a college level while
retaining the ideas of the TESC founders.
For instance the Northwest Commission
of Colleges (NCC) noted in its last two reviews
of Evergreen that t he school does not meet their
standards in math.
After their visit la.~t year the NCC has
made clear its intentions to return in the fall of
2000 to see what has been done to remedy the
problem.
Art Costantino addressed the faculty
about access to higher education with a tale of
an aunt who so wished to be a student that she
spent a year pretending to be a one by going to
the local college and sitting in on public
lectures. The theme was cost.
In 1989 the cost of education was covered
by a 60/40 split. 60 percent was covered by
tuition grants, 40 percent. by student loans.
"Today it is reversed," Costantino said.
Adding to the point of student I1nancial
woes Costantino said that in 1998832 students
reported family incomes ofless than $12,000,
737 of those were independent students. After
figuring out the "need" vs. the "available funds"
there is a gap of$1.800 per student, on average.
Spread that out over the whole school and yo u
get a total amount of$5,OOO,OOO that students
are in the hole.
To offer a solution Costantino asked th e
faculty to contribute to the annual hmd which
provides scholarships to deserving students.
The next step of the process happens on
Friday, Sept. 17, when student leaders get
together with the faculty in the Long House to
discuss the general education issue.

Faculty member died
Long-time Evergreen faculty Don Finkel died early Thursday
morning from lymphoma cancer.
Finkel began teaching programs at Evergreen in 1975 with an
emphasis in philosophy and psychology. He is known to the
community as a "master teacher" because of his workshop approach
to teaching.
Finkel was 57-years-old when he died and left a legacy behind
for his wife and three children with a newly published book titled
"Teaching with Your Mouth Shut."
A memorial service for Finkel will be held at the Long House on
Sept. 22. The service begins at 11 a.m ..
Day
$5000 has been dolled out to the Commute Trip Reduction Committee (CTR). The state
grant will pay for ride sharing parking for Evergreen faculty and full time staff.
CTR gets money (state grant, 5000) for faculty and full time staff.
Iffaculty ride to campus the grant has allowed for a place to shower, a free bus pass for bad
weather days and a guaranteed ride home if all else fails.
Students will continue to pay for parking privileges even if they pack their VWs full. Sherry
Parsons, the CTR coordinator, says that the law calling for alternative transportation in the five
most congested counties ofthe state does not cover students.
Parsons has not left the students out.
She secured a refund of $40,000 from the buss pass initiative to the S&A board. Parsons
says she has no control over the money and if the students want something done along the same
lines as the TRC they must take it up with the S&A board when it begins meeting.

What happens if I ealll
more than my work study
allotment?
When you get close to your limit , there are a
few options. Your employer could pay you
out of his/ her pocket (unlikely and expensive
for him/ her). You could start cutting down
on hours. You co uld even see if it's possible
for you to get ex t ra work st udy money ,
provided tlwre are leftover funds in the
account and yo u have anunIllet finan cial aid
need.
How can I get work study
money if they told me
initially it was all gone?
Students who refuse the work study funds
and take the loan instead have their funds
returned to the "pot" from where it came
from. Thus , reapplying for nl'W and
additional work study funds can prove
beneficial ifothrr students choose not to use
theirs.
Relll(,llllll'r. jllst because YOII ditlll't get work
st lldy this yea r doC'sn't mean you ca n't gl't it
next year. Financial situations change, and
it could be lhat Iwxl year, you might get work
study agai n, or It)!' the lirst time. Providl'd
you turn in your taxes 011 time.

What the heck is a Provost?

Barb ara Leigh Smith's office paints a cozy bille
motif around two small co uch es. a rug and some fr esh
flowers - it's large compared to most on cam pus.
Smith's job is important and so is her title of
Academic Vice Pres ident and Provost.
But . what's a provost?

While attending Evergree n. a student is govern ed by three th ings: th e Student Conduct
Code. Washington State Law. and Federal Law.
And. th ere are two types of peo ple on campus th at govern : cops and th e gri evance officer.
While all of th e above connotate obedience, th ey fun ction differently.
Below are some handy fa ctoids about th eir differences.
The gri evance proceedure has
no Due Process. Due Process
is a set course that aims to
protect the legal rights of an
individual. In stead, th e

"J ust because I have a big office. doesn't mea n I

The provost is more "behind the scenes" than most

provost does a lot.of "facing in ve rsus b cing out. "

Academic Vice President and Provost Barbara Leigh Smith has
been with Evergreen since 1978. She started as the director o f
th e Washington Center for Undergraduate Education and went
o n to become a dean prior to her current po sition .
Art COstantino, not CONstantino
He's the v.P. of Student Affairs and hardly anyone says his name correctly
What's a Vice President of Student Affairs do?
Art Costantino is the guy behind the stage of Co-Curricular act ivitie s.
In other words , all activities associated with an education that aren 't par t
of the class schedule.
He works behind the scenes of admissions, student activities and
recruitment. Costantino also oversees the campus grievance process.
The Student Conduct Code does not
apply to faculty or administration .
No grievan ces can be fil ed against
fa culty or administration.
When would I need to talk to him?
the Student Activities tech
also helps teach students
to use Macs and such
software as Word,
PageMaker and Excel
the tech needs
to .be able to solve
Mac and PC problems
You'll probably hear his name more than you'll talk to him. Most of his
conversations are with administrators and media.That's because he 's
behind the scenes of student activity.
Non-emergencies
Campus security officers are Washington
state police. This mean s th ey have th e
authority and training to enforce stat e law.
When do I call the

IIG erontocracy: goverment by old men."
- Webster's New World Dictionary
How I sl?,en~ my summer vacation
"Y'~
~ottin9 ~ill
A mushy, romantic film that threatens to
overwhelm the place in your heart where the
urge to buy Hallmark cards, chocolates, and
really expensive stuff resides. Perhaps even
more inspiring was Hugh Grant's comeback as
a romantic leading man after his scandalous
encounter with a "Divine" being. Now he's
with Julia Roberts. Of course, she acted with
Richard Gere in another tilm. I'm talking anollt
"Pretty Woman," of coursr. So Julia is
separated from a real streetwalker by only one
man. Now that's Hollywood.
(.
Summer time is over, so guess what?
It's time for the summer movie wrap-up. Did you learn anything over the summer watching
movies in the theater? Maybe you learned about rapping cowboys ("Wild Wild West"), teenage
sex exploits ("American Pie"), or how a studio can take a great 1960s horror movie and turn it
into a remake that doesn't even deserve to be seen on cable TV at 3 a.m. (,'The Haunting").
Certainly, all this experience is worth some sort of college credit. How about 8 credits in "Visual
History of American Culture?"
(insert disbelieving laugh here)
Without further ado, let's get going on the films that made this summer enjoyable.
Austin Powers:
Graham. For the most part, it was a nice summer movie, like popcorn. Tasty, not really filling, and
gone from the digestive track before you know it. Worth the matinee price, though, and the scenes
betwern Mikr Myers and Seth Green as Dr. Evil and hisson rrspectively are wonderfully dysfimctional.
You'll appreciate your parents more during Orientation Week if you keep this film in mind.
SOUTH PARK:
BIGGER, LONGER, AND UNCUT
An Ideal Husband
Like "South Park," a humorolls film.
However. this one relied on verbal repartee and
willy remarks cuurtesy of Oscar Wilde and
performed with remarkable aplomb by Ruperl
Everett. I saw this one Iwice and enjoyed it each
time. Even if you don't see this 1iI1ll. you should
go read a book of Wilde's works. II will provide
more intellectual stimulation than any major
Hollywood production. And mOfe('njoymenl as
well.
rk
The down-to-earth cousin of "The Sixth
Sense," it provided more traditional chills than
the afore-mentioned film. However, it is
predictably plotted and there is way too much
digging going on. I got the point about twenty
seconds in, and felt like screaming "All right.
We know you're digging. Just find the dead
body so we can all go home." It won't be telling
you too much to let you know that one scene is
reminiscent of both Edgar Allan Poe and Roger
Corman .
Circula tion
Manager
It begins to be extrrmely evidrnt upon viewing this film why all the Evergreen students
whined to get t his added to their cable system. It was definitely the best political movie I've seen
this yea r, and the musical numbers were catchy enough to makc me want to buy the soundtrack.
I'IIIS, YOll see Kenny's facr and hear him say somrthing meaningful. Certainly the most
humorously offensive movie I've seen as well, which only adds to its charm.
\lCbe rhllair Witcb ~roject
SomE' people said the camera work made them ill. I personally fett chilled as I walked out
of th(' Ihl'ater. Scary in the sense that your imagination is given frre reign with thr ambiguous
ending, what it doesn't show is infinitely more terrilying than what it could show. This movie
also served as an inspiration to independent filmmakrrs who learned that they didn't need a lot
ofmolley or a intricately-plolted story to be successful. Thry jllst need a willingness to be flexible
and follow where the slory takes them .

A Stir o/Echoes

A light-hearted romp about a spy, his archenemy. his archenemy's miniature clone, and Heather
I told myself I would never see a Bruce
Wi llis movie. But rveryone said this was so
good and not like him that I gave it a try.
Surprisingly, it was a nice dramatic film. not
scary as a horror movie is generally presumed
to be. More of a suspense flick. the sheer terror
comes [i-om the fact that Bruce Willis is in the
movie and it doesn't suck. It also features one
of the only child actors I haven't fClt an IIfge to
gag. Incidentally, I predicted the end halfway
through the film, so it didn't come as a surprise.
Layout Editor
A religious film that I actually liked?
Dismissed by most critics, both liberal and
Catholic, I enjoyed this because of two things:
Gabriel Byrne and the almost Gothic treatment
of organized religion. There was blood, fire,
scents of roses, and a fairly creepy soundtrack
with Billy Corgan and a song called "All The
Pretty Things Are Going To Hell." Like a
Marilyn Manson video, it manages to offend a
great portion of the audience while at the same
time fascinating the rest. I loved it, but of
course I liked the entire Hellraiser series, so
who knows what that means.
at fb CPJ*
,
The weakest out of all movies reviewed
here, it nonetheless managed to be moderately
cntertaining. It brought back fond memories
of high school, memories that included me
kidnapping my teacher, knocking her
unconscious. setting her up with the guy I had
a crush on ... wait. I'm thinking about the film.
Never mind.

It's true. All 'other bookstores selling
books to students on this campus send
profits to some Wall Street shareholders
or private investors. All stores, that is,
but the TESC Bookstore. Granted, we're
not a huge, money-making machine,
But we do serve this campus for the
sole good of the students and the college.
And we're the only store that can say
that. So keep that in mind the next time
you need books, supplies, or clothing.

There are a lot of people out there who
have no idea that Evergreen has more than one
campus. There are about 125 of us at the
campus located on Hill Top in Tacoma .
Washington , on the corner of Martin Luther
King, Jr. Way and 12th.
Evergreen Tacoma has only a few
similarities if you were to compare us to the
Olympia campus. We do not have grades. We
have to write evaluations at the end of each
quarter, the only one that makes it into our
permanent files are the ones written at the end
of the year. We have lecture groups, a small
chemistry lab, and several small rooms (6 class
rooms, some of which double for computer labs.
chemistry labs and a multimedia lab) anda large
room that doubles as a foyer/presentation
room/cafeteria/ "whatever we can do with it
room."
We learn with a set coordinated study that
lasts the full academic year. This year's program
is focusing on Transitions. Last year's was on
Leadership. The year before, Power. We do have
independent credits and programs that we can
arrange via contracts for groups or independent
study. However, we are required to have at least
45 Core credits ITom Evergreen.
Before any student can graduate fi'om ,our
campus there are two requirements. We are
required to write an autobiographical memoir
that covers and identifies a moment in our lives
that is meaningful, either po sitively or
negatively. After writing mine last year, I
understood why autobiographies are a
requirement; you really grow emotionall y,
spiritually and intelle ctuallyl The other
requirement is that you prepare and give an oral
presentation to the class, before graduation.
We are unique in that we have a second
graduation ceremony in Tacoma for our
students and families. This is a great way to
reflect upon our time at Evergreen and to say
good-bye to our fe Ilow studen ts or make
arrangemen ts to keep in touch. We may
graduate ITom Evergreen, but a little piece of our
heart stays with our little Hill Top college.
What really makes us special. is the fact
that the population of our campus is about 92
percent culturally diverse. Our campus is 47.4
percent African American, 2.2 percent Asian/
Pacific Islander, 5.8 percent Hispanic and well,
you do the rest ohhe math, 28.5 percent White.
Little Chunks
Washington State has eight public 4-year schools
Washington State has twenty-seven private 4-year schools
5.5% of the people in Washington have never been to high school
The diversity on our campus is not only ITom
ethnic backgrounds; we are primarily working
adults with an average age of about 36. Some
students are in their late teens or early
twenties and some are in their seventies.
Students attend primarily in the
evening. However, there are day classes that
are taught by the same faculty at night, with
the same curriculum. Our Evergreen students
are all juniors and seniors; many of them come
from the "Bridge" program, taught on our
campus through collaboration between
Tacoma Community College and Evergreen.
They graduate with at least 90 TCC credits
when they enter the "upper division " and
officially enroll at Evergreen.
I think that we at the Tacoma campus
are very special in many ways. We think of
ourselves as a big family. We are separated
only in seminars or classes taught in smaller
groups from eight to 30 students, depending
upon who your advisor is and what classes you
wish to take. We do many of the seminars in
the "Family Room" which holds about 75
students. Usually family room seminars
include the whole student body (either night
or day).
We have a faculty advisor that is
appointed to us, determined usually by the
future career or academic plans of each
student. I am told that we are thought of as
weird by many Olympia TESC students,
because we respectfully use earned titles for
our professors; Dr., Mr., Miss, or Professor.
Whatever it is that we choose to study,
the faculty manages to instill tiS with the facets
that make up our campus mission statement:
hospitality, inclusivity , reciprocity, and
civility. We are taught the values of giving
back to our communities and know that we;
as our mission statements stales: "Enter to
learn and depart to serve."
Although we have many differences
from the students and programs at the
Olympia campus, we pride ourselves as
"Greeners" and feel a sense of honor to be
associated with a college that is known for
teaching critical thinking and environmental
awareness. We take our differences and
similarities in stride, believing that TESC
students, ITom Olympia orTacoma, are a part
of a much bigger ordeal; an educational
institution regarded consistently as one of the
best liberal arts schools in the world!

,\s I walked the path from 'T'lot I
looked up at the mammoth cemenl living
structures, Joking to myself Ilhought
about how much the Housing main
buildings were remnants of the "projects"
or low-income tenements- ala Cabrini
Green, deep in the ghettos of Chicago-or
in some big East Coast city.
There had to have been a two-forone cement sale in Washington back In
the '70s, when mO,q fFSC bt:lldings were
constructed. This place looked so much
bet ter in the catalogs and on the
website-the schematic and illustratiom
seem to yield more space for all of the
trappings of suburban living I intend ed
on bringing with me-my stereo, TV,
Playstation, iron. microwave. snow
board ... all 01 life's essentials.
\Jot that I was complaining, just
ob.~erving and having an initial first
reaction that wasn't exactly positive.
I'm not sure what I was
e.xpecting ... visions of the old school 80's
and early 90's college tlick.~ with the
dorms being ivory covered brick
buildings, with hard wood floors and cool
cast of co-eds played bv l1e like., of Rob
Lowe and Molly Ringwald. Realizing my
"negaholic" tendencies I took a deep
breath and proceeded to lug my backpack
and two ragged suitrases up to the checkin table.
After what seemed like a lifetime of
standing in lines, I got my key. So far
most of the Housing folks seem cool. My
friend from back horne went here a whi le
ago and said I shou ld try to hook up with
Monique, the head-housing guru because
she was hella cool. She had that Super
Soul Sista vibe that I would dig. He said it
seemed like I really could identifY with
her and "she'll look out for you." I tried to
hook up but, having had lots of moving to
do, I spared no time in lugging my junk
up to my room.
Upon opening the door I realized
that albeit small, I was going to be okay. I
sat my shit down, hopped on the bed, as I
would have done at home and Wham! As
my body collided with the near concrete
like mattress I realized that the foam
padding I kept in my car was going to be
used for more than drunken star gazing
this year.
I was the first of four to move in . I
was glad that participating in the First
Peoples Minority Student Fellowship
Orientation gave me the chance to get
settled in- moving in a whole week
before my other roommates. At that
point I guess I could have deduced that
my other three roommates weren't

people of color or they would be here too.
When I wasn't in some group activity I
ran horne to try to personalize my new
pad. It was as if I was "peeing" on the
room, marking my territory before my
other roommates sh9wed up.
I turned on Erykah Badu, lit my
incense, and tossed up my favorite
posters. After 10 or more trips to the car I

In an effort to capitalize on the alone

Conference Services as the end of August i,

business. "Yeah, bonus. it was great," sa id

If you were in town during the last week
of August, there is a chance you noticed an odd
increa se of "GO DAWGS" signs along the
Highway 101 corridor, traditional Geoduck
territory.
On August 28 you could hear the distinct
crash of helmets and pad-covered bodies on
athletic fields usually reserved for sports that
don't rely on such protection: rugby, soccer
and ultimate Frisbee.
The University of Washington rented
TESC to play football.
The Team worked from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
for 10 days learning plays, running drills,
watching film. There was little time for
anything else, besides the Dawgs were
restricted to the yard.
They ended their run around the
Evergreen ranch with a 100 play scrimmage.
The number one offense played the number
one defense.
The idea to hold a University of
Washington fall football camp away from
Seattle came last spring with the arrival of the
new coach Rick Neuheisel.
Besides the chance to get the team
concentrated on football, the usual football
trainin facilit Hech Edmunson Pavilion was
Braxton Cleman, 29, jinks past the reach of Quinton Morgan, 23, during
the final scrimmag e of the Dawgs fall camp.
to be remodeled during camptime.
Other colleges considered for the camp
were Big Bend Community College, Western
Washington University and Yakima Valley
Community College. "Evergreen was picked
because it had the space and met our needs
best," said Jeff Beckthold, spokesman for the
University of Washington.
The Dawgs also need a place to put their
training room and weight room. The pavilion
housed it, all four semis full. The Housing
Community Center was blocked off and
transformed into the training room.
"The primary thing is food. These guys
eat more than your average engineering
student in for a conference."
Evergreen is used to large groups visiting
over the summer with their conferencing
business. "This is really very standard

ATTENTION RETURNING STUDENTS:
e lSE' .
It's weird, the first people fellowship
orientation was a lot smaller than I had
expected (only 20 people) . I was all hyped
presuming it would be the only time I
would be in a predominantly minority
academic setting at Evergreen (outside of
being at Tacoma Campus).
Even with it having a lot less people
than I had expected, I still enjoyed it. We
made masks , went bowling, and talked a
lot. My friend from Seattle told me about
the Fellowship orientation that he went to
at Evergreen two years ago. The way he
explained it sounded like there was way
more people-and more different types
of people represented .
The last day of the fellowship gave
me a strange feeling because I knew that
over the next few days, the rest of the
campus would be moving into their
dorms. At that point, most of the
students of color were pretty bonded
with each other. .. our private Evergreen.
Most of us admitted to being the
only or one of few people of color from
whatever place we came from and knew
that would be the case during and after
this orientation was over.
NEXT COMING ISSUE: Roommates
buisness." said Na ncy McKinney,
When the students leave ca mpus every
June they are replaced by 6,000 to 8000
visitors. Conference Services uses the campus
to hring all kinds of people to Evergreen and
Olympia .
Coach Neuheisel and his Dawg gang
came down to Olympia for a meeting. Pete
Steilberg, last year's director ofthe CRC, and
the folks at Conference Services gave them a
tour of the campus facilities. During that
meeting, the Dawgs laid out their specific
needs: how mallY meeting rooms , beds and
meals.
The first price Evergreen gave the Dawgs
was too high.
The price was brought to its final by
removing such things as a nightly late snack

The Services and Activities fee allocation
board (S&A Board) is now hiring.
Last year the S&A Board allocated over
$1.25 million towards a variety of student
activities and student funded groups. All of this
money came from a quarterly fee that for
students amounted to around one hundred
eighteen dollars per quarter.
The Board is composed of 11 student
members: one coordinator. one office manager,
and nine board members. All positions are
paid.
The student members of S&A Board
determine how the money collected every year
from students will be spent.
The money allocated by the board allows
groups like the CPl, KAOS, the Child Care
Center, and the CRC to continue to operate and
expand.
Student groups like the Women's Center,
EPIC, and EARN rely on this funding to put
events and purchase supplies for their group.
The S&A Board interacts with all of these groups
on a regular basis.
In addition to creating a budget that
determines the level of funding that will be
given to student groups next year this year's
S&A Board will also be responsible for
allocating $45,000 in Special Initiative funding.
All of these positions provide excellent
opportunities for leadership and general
involvement in student activities. The Board
meets twice weekly throughout the academic
year and goes on one retreat in November.
Students must be enrolled full-time fall
through spring and be able to make a full year
commitment to be a member of the S&A board .
All Evergreen students who meet these
requirements may apply to be a part of this
year's board.

Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen will give a retreat for all those interested in social
justice issues. The Archbishop, now retired, is widely recognized as a staunch supporter of human
rights and world peace. By refusing to pay taxes to support the nuclear arms race, and by siding with the
marginalized in society, he has won the respect of Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
The retreat is open to all. It takes place on September 28, 1999 at St. Michael Church
(Boundary at Eastside), 7 - 9 p.m.
