Badger & I wandered the beach for hours that morning.
My faithful dog, by my side, we gathered the rocks of
hope.
These stones will guide us through this world.
With all of its beauty and its pain.
We will stay focused, and when all seems lost.
We will remember these rocks of hope.
Then we will forget the pain if only for a momen!.

All the seats were filled, and the walls
were lined with people standing and listening
attentively. A line stretched out the door, and
those in it tried to crowd in to see what was
going on . It was standing room only, but it
wasn't a concert, a lecture. or even a poetry
reading. Rather, this was the scene at the lastditch contract fair.
On March 31 , a horde of students
congregatep in a classroom in the library, all
with the hope of finding a faculty member
willing to sponsor their independent learning
plan. What was especially striking about this
quarter's fair, however, was that at least 10 of
the attendees were freshmen. They, like many
other students this quarter, had simply been
unable to get into a class for spring quarter,
The warning signs were present at the
spring academic fair; most faculty members
had already reached their contract quota by
the time it rolled around. and many programs
and classes were not accepting new students
for a variety of reasons. At first, rumors were
circulated that this problem was a result of
overcrowding, of the college being made to
accept more students than it could provide for.
Evergreen tells a different story, however.
According to administrative faculty. the
problem was not overcrowding, but planning.
"Because ofthe way we design the curriculum,
with full-time academic programs," said
academic dean Virginia Darney. "We can't ever
predict exactly how students are going to fall
out in the registration. In the ideal world, they
would register evenly across the curriculum.
And they don·t."
The foundation for this problem was set
about two years ago, when Evergreen began
introducing two-quarter programs into its
curriculum. This year, when spring rolled
around, a lot of those two-quarter programs
ended, forcing a large number of students tu
find a new class.
Most of the continuing three-quarter
programs, however, were not accepting new
students. Andrea Coker-Anderson, the
registrar, explains that this was because the
programs in question had reached the point
where the students were doing independent
projects. Any new students would have been
drastically behind and difficult to work into the
programs. As Coker-Anderson puts it, "it
wasn't appropriate to take on new students for
the spring."
According to the information compiled
by head oflnternal Research Steve Hunter, this
was particularly true in the case of the
freshmen-only "core" programs; of the 10
programs offered this year, three ended in
winter, and only two were accepting new
students for spring. Even with mixed-level

programs as an alternative, however, only
seven of the 12 courses offered were accepting
new freshmen in spring. The end result of this
was that a total of 49 freshmen were left
without a place to go.
The problem was not limited to
freshmen, however.
A number of
sophomores, juniors. and seniors also found
themselves with extremely narrow options at
the beginning of spring quarter. Some had
been unable to secure a contract in time, while
others had tried for part-time classes and were
unlucky enough to find them full or canceled
when the quarter began.
A number of these disgruntled students
(rumored to be over 200) made their plight
known to Academic Advising, and it quickly
became apparent to faculty that there was a
serious problem. To deal with it, a group of
administrators and faculty convened several
meetings to discuss what should be done.
As Virginia Darney put it , "Th is is the
sort of issue that you don't know about until
the first week of class. When we saw it was an
issue, thell... there was this amazing thing that
happened. which is that people from all parts
of the college got together and sa id, 'yikes,
these folks really need to be better served than
they are.'"
The result of their efforts was the
creation of a coup le of new programs. In
addition, they contacted the faculty in charge
of severa l programs that had previously been
closed. and were able to convince them to
redesign their programs in order to
accommodate new students.
Darney makes it clear, however. that this
situation is not ideal, although"it feels like we
really did right by those students who needed
a place."
When asked how this problem could be
prevented in the future, Darney stresses the
importance of finding places for first-year
students, as well as making registration more
accessible to them. However, she also stated
that there is no certain way to prevent this
from happening again.
"What we can't guarantee. and what we
can't make happen," Darney said, "is that
students will register evenly across the
curriculum ... And Ijoke about how that would
be ideal, but that's not what we want."
Of the many students who attended the
last-ditch contract fair, relatively few came
away with a signature on their contracts.
According to Kitty Parker. the director of
Academic Advising, one of the faculty who
attended took on three contracts, and the
other two felt that they hadn't heard anyone
who they could appropriately support.

They don't seem to go together. But it's
never been any other way. The office of
Institutional Research and Steve Hunter have
20 years of history together. They chart
Evergreen.
Charting Evergreen means keeping track
of enrollment. Years ago Evergreen was under
enrolled . Recently. however, enrollment has
pushed Evergreen at the seams. Aspurt of over
enrollment and how to solve the problem fall
under Steve's numerical eye.
But Steve's not exactly the kind of guy you
think of being a number cruncher.
His long red beard hangs over a denim
jacket. He has on blue jeans instead of the slacks
and ties that his colleagues prefer.
Does he fit in? "Sure. as much as I fit in
anyplace."
He came to Evergreen in 1976 for the
Management in Public Interest program. He
got involved in social sciences studying
research methods.
In his senior year, Steve landed a workstudy job in the first ever institutional research
office at Evergreen. After graduation, he was
hired on as the head of the office temporarily.
A year later it was permanent.
'Tve changed from being the young pup
on the third floor to being one of the old dogs,"
says the self-professed crossword puzzle
fanatic.
Pillows of folded newspapers fill a large
shelf in his office. "I do a crossword puzzle a
day then recycle them every couple of years."

Overcrowding:
one student's story
by Mat Probasco
Editor
Sarah Meadows wanted a.little science.
Although she's a Portland native, Sarah
transferred to Evergreen la st year from a
Scottish art school. She couldn't paint there.
"You have to devote yourself to it. Devoting
myself to it right now would be dangerous."
She knows she needs an education to be
able to paint. "( can't do that right now. (mean,
I don't know anything."
So she came to Evergreen for some
science. art history, and life experience.
Fall and winter quarters Sarah fell in love
with her art history class, Images ill Context.
Spring quarter was a different story.
"Spring quarter was just a mess."
explained the 21 year old. "( read the catalog.
and there wasn't anything that made any
sense."
This was fine with Sarah. She was just
after a little science, not a full program. She
started looking into several part-time
programs. Easier said than done.
She wasn't the only one in this position.
Because so many fall and winter programs
were ending. and so few full year programs let
in additional students . Registration had
became constipated.
Sarah's fr iends and roommates were
scrambling to find contract sponsors. But the
contract pool was only bathtub size, and full.
"I only know like two people who got a
contract, and almost everyone I know tried to
get onc."
She thought she'd try her hand in Met,?1
Working. It was more than full.
''I've always been in crowded classes where
people didn't get in, but I was never the one."
Bob Woods, the Metal Workinginstmctor.
told Sarah the class is more than full every time

Students For Unity and End Portland State
University Is howling its second annual regional
conference to end corporate dominance over
ecosystems and communities. The conference
seeks to bring together persons working on a
variety of issues; from labor struggles,
environmental battles, humanimal rights work, and
from other struggles against global corporate
control. Students For Unity and End Corporate
Dominance Alliance believes the following:
* Corporations should not have the rights of
persons (i.e. the right to free speech)
• Corporate rule is neither necessary nor inevitable.
- Alternatives to corporate dependency already
exists and need our support to grow spread
• We need to pay attention to and protect
indigenous ways of organizing and sustainable
cultures that are not totally destroyed by corporate
colonizing practices
• Alternatives to corporations have been around
longer than corporations
• We don't need corporations, but we need clean
water and air, fertile soil, healthy ecosystems and
each other. The institutions we create must be
under our control to meet our real needs in balance
with nature's laws and limits

"I walked onto campus and I had like. th e impulseJo take

Officers Talmadge and Neeley checked Ihat the student
was coherent and made sure he understood he was not to take

The officers explained that if someone under 14 years old
saw the student nude in public. and took offen se, the student
would be cited for a gross misdemeanor. If th at were the case,
th e student might have to register as a sex offender. Luckily for
the student th at didn 't happen. Instead, he will deal with Sue

"I was not really trying to make a big deal out of it. I guess.
Then everything came down on me." He's heard students have

On May 13, at 5:40 p.m., Brian T. McMorrow walked into
police services to inform them ofa "student that he is concerned
about," according to the police report.
The student in question is in a contractual class that is
affiliated with his Social Service curriculum. McMorrow said
that the student had been behaving in class in a manner that
caused him "concern." He said that she is fearful of an "ex-male
friend." She also told him that she has a gun permit and at one
point during class she told him that she forgot to leave her gun
locked up and had brought it to class. McMorrow did not see
th e gun .
She also told him th at a man is tr ying to harm her and
police offi cers from the city wh ere she lives are doing nothing
to help her. She said that "she has to take things into her own
hands now. "
Officer Ga rl and gave McMorrow a pamphlet on th eir
coun seling se rvic es in case he and the student should talk about
her fea rs in the future.
Ga rland called'th e student's local poli ce departm ent and
spoke with an Officer Busey. Busey told her that the student is
listed as an "Officer Safety" h azard. Busey stated th at he does
not beli eve thal she is an actual danger to them, but th at she is
"armed" and may have "unresolved mental issues and anything
may se t h er off." He a lso to ld Ga rland that th e polic e

earned as the only man on the third floor of
th e library with a can of Skoal straight-cut
chewing tobacco on his desk and a picture ofa

Evergreen's enrollment problems.
It all boils down to FTEs.
FTE stands for Full-Time Equiv~lel1t
student. That means a student who is taking
15 credits. If two students are taking eight
credits, they count as just over one FTE. IHour
students are taking four credits, they count as
just over an FTE.
The state of Washington pays for a
varying amount FTEs at Evergreen each year.
If Evergreen enrolls more FTEs than the state
will pay for, Evergreen picks up the bill with
out aid from the state on what it costs to
educate those students.
This year the state funded 3,576 FTEs at
Evergreen. The college enrolled 3,822 FTEs.

under it s allotted FTE enrollment. the college

the FTEs Evergreen is funded for.
Accoding to Steve applications for fall
quarter have been sluggish the las t two. The
school accepted applications longer than it
usually does. and then got surprised by a
hi gher rate of enrollment of students
admitted. This. coupled with an unexpectedly
high number of students co ntinuing at
Evergreen. resulted in the 246 more FTEs than
the state had funded .
"It's hard to guess any given year
whether retent ion will be up or down from the
las t." SteV(' says ...... Last year we got surprised
by a favorable outcome. We shouldn't be sorry
about that."
Over the next two years Evergreen will
have an additional 137 FTEs funded by the
state. 62 for 1999-2000 and 75 for 2000-2001.
Steve has all this down pat. He scrolls
through a database pulling numbers Ollt of
obscurely labeled columns.
This year 3.822 FTEs at Evergreen
worked out to be 4.194 actual students in the
fall.
Evergreen wants to have fewer FTEs over
the amount funded by the state next year. So
Steve is helping work out how next year's
target 3,738 FTEs can work out to only 4,116
students.
Even though he works with vast
abstractions, Steve is foremost concerned
about the quality oflearning and teaching at
Evergreen. He says over-enrollment becomes
a problem when the quality oflearning suffers
because of it.
In recent years the requests for
information that come to Steve don't always
have to do with teaching or learning. It
becomes a struggle for balance. "The other
hard thing is, the more information people
get, the more they wan t."
On the shelf next to the Pepto are several
open boxes of computer disks and random
discarded office supplies.
"Sometimes it feels like I'm scrambling
to keep my head above water. And other
people feel like that. The pace has gotten
faster," he pauses, "or we have gotten older."
Take back the
night confusion
Evergreen 's annual Take Back the Night
almost didn't happen this year. The invitation
to keynote speaker Rosalinda Noriega had
been sent out, the flyers had been made, and
the signs had been posted. The evening was
being organized by Evergreen 's Sexual
Harra ss ment and Assault Prevention
Education (SHA PE) group. Then, for various
reasons, the event was called off. "The whole
thing in 12 hours got canceled and just fell
apart..." said Mary Craven, Evergreen's Sexual
Assault Prevention Educator.
"We fOLilld ourselves in a position that
was a complete conflict of interest, " explained
Robin Lea, SHAPE co-coordinator. "We had
advocacy versus promoter issues going on.
Our roles were conflicting because someone
was coming to us in the role wanting advocacy,
but we were also the promoters ... we were put
in the position where bands didn't want to play
for one reason or another, but they would play
if other bands didn't play. We had conflicting
roles, so we had to remove the whole band
section."
"It seemed," chimed in Courtney Aiken,
SHAPE's other coordinator, "strange as it
sounds, to be the most fair thing to do. That
way, we weren't taking sides." She explained
that they did not want to continue with an
event that was supposed to represent unity
when the bands could not even come to good
enough terms to play at the same venue.
Lea also explained that due to publicity
issues, the SHAPE office decided to postpone
the event. "Unfortunately, our article didn't
get run in the CPJ ... " she said, "so we decided
since no one knew about it, and itwas two days
away we Iwould] put it off, especially since
emotions were running really high with the

band people." In addition, "no store in a 40mile radius had candles for a vigil."
Craven expressed that she felt the
dissapointment of the band situation, as well
as academic pressure during spring quarter
were both factors in SHAPE's decision to
postpone the event. "They had spent hours
making banners and posters ... and then all
of a sudden it just seemed to drop dead right
in front of us."
Yet, the annual vigil and march
continued anyway. Thanks to Rosalinda, the
keynote speaker. An Evergreen alumni,
Rosalinda said she didn't care if the bands
were there, she was coming anyway.
She led a group of over 20 students ill
the silent vigil. and then the entourage
marched from Red Square throughout
housing and back again chanting "End the
Silence. Stop the Violence."
"This event is very important to
Rosalinda, " said Craven. "She called me and
said 'I'll come down and I'll stand in the
middle ofRed Square and talk to the birds if
that's all that wants to be there." However,
close to 30 people attended 1999's Take Back
the Night to listen to Rosalinda's words.
III November ofl978, Andrea Dworkin,
along with Women Against Violence in
Pornography and the Media, led 5,000
women from 30 states into San Francisco's
pornography district. This rally shut down
the district for the night. Today, the annual
event is a way for men and women to speak
out against sexual violence through a march
and oftentimes an open mic. "This is not just
a woman's issue or just a man's issue ... we
must all work together to effect change."
declares the publicity flyer.
The event pledges in its flyer to
"support and commit to carry the torch of
freedom- freedom to tight social racism,
sexual violence, and every form ofoppression
that plagues our society today." All voices
chime in as the vow continues, "we pledge our
commitment to take back tonight and every
night; for tonight our voices echo strong, and
when tomorrow comes, our fight goes on!"
The general line-up for the event
traditionally includes a vigil, protest march,
and open mic, a time when victims of sexual
and domestic violence can share their stories.
This year, SHAPE coordinators chose to bring
bands to the event instead of the open mic to
end the event on a more positive note
according to Craven.
Although the event did not go off as
planned, men and women alike took back the
night on May 13. "People who showed ... were
people who needed to be there," said Craven.
Those involved in the organizing ofthis
event hope to put on another, larger,
reclamation of the night early next school
year. For more information please call

Olympia's B)SS group, an architectual
design firm , survived the bidding process
between it and three other firms to redesign
the food service facility on campus. Architects
from B)SS, along with students and the food
services design committee disappearing task
force, will now begin the next step by mapping
out a structure for a food services area .
Nancy McKinney, chair of the committee
and special assistant to the vice president of
finance, is looking forward to this next phase
of the process. She thinks that there will be
"extensive renovation" within the Campus
Activities building where all of the current food
services are housed. "I t's time for something
different," said McKinney. "But we need the
students to give us ideas on this as welL"
She is not sure whether or not the only
two food services offered, the Deli and the
Greenery, will continue as part of the plan. "I
hope we can get some new places," she said.
She hopes that construction will begin by
next spring, but she feels that it will be more
likely that construction will begin next
summer.
The committee and B)SS will be holding
a public design workshop on Monday, May 24,
in CAB 104 from noon to 3 p.m. Students are
strongly encouraged to attend this meeting.
The food service committee can be contacted
through McKinney or e-mailed at

process, there is a web page:

Who owns the cops?
Josh Manning
Staff writer
There is a hierarchy for the operations of
the campus police department at every college
and university in the country. Each one has
officers, sergeants, lieutenants. directors and
administrators. Evergreen 's Police Services is
no different in many of these rules and
regulations than its fellow institutions. But in
the supervision of Police Services, there are two
men that have a special insight into their roles.
As a college's vice president of student
affairs, Art Costantino would not normally
hold the utmost authority over the campus
police department. A majority of colleges and
universities place the power to supervise the
police with the vice president of finance .
Costantino was charged with the power to
oversee the police, in part, because a police
officer at The University of Toledo shot a
student.
It was the spring of 1992. Costantino
vacated his position as vice president ofstudent
affairs at UT to take the same position at
Evergreen. The day that he interviewed for the
position here, a young woman student was
shot 14 times by a UT police officer.
It was a "horrifying" experience for
Costantino. But it was also a situation which
he feels gave him a different outlook on how a
police department should be run.
It was one of the rare instances where a
campus police officer shot a studen t. He said
that it happened because a single, rogue cop
attempted to create a situation on a relatively
crime-free campus. He believes with certainty
that it could not happen at Evergreen because
"it's just not the sort of thing that happens on
any college campus."
Costantino did not campaign to take
control of Police Services.
But he feels that it was a good fit for
student affairs to join with Police Services. The
reason that the vice president offinance usually
takes the reigns is because the administration
fee ls that it is the duty of the campus police to
something that Huntsberry takes lightly.
A copy of "The Tao of Muhammad Ali"
is the lone non-procedural book in
Huntsberry's office. Above it, paintings and
portraits of Native Americans hang on the wall
next to tacked-up reports. In his window rests
a black sheath for a samurai sword with red
stripes wrapping around it.
Whether in his uniform (sitting upright
and attentive in his chair) or in plainclothes
(the heels of his cowboy boots supporting the
weight of his outstretched legs), Huntsberry
looks at home in his crowded, but roomy,
office.
Huntsberry does not have a story as
momentous as Costantino's.
"AliI can say, is that since the day of my
birth my parents raised me to be a reasonable,
rational and ethical man," he said. "So it is
always at the back of mind that I don't want
something bad to happen. [ always think 'how
will this affect the community?' because I don't
want something bad to happen on my watch."
As the director, Huntsberry must not
only pay close attention to how his officers are
following the laws and procedures set forth by
Evergreen, but he also has to make sure that
they are following the laws and procedures for
the State of Washington.
He has a unique perspective on what he
believes that anyone wanting to pursue a career
in law enforcement should do : "People
shouldn't be cops until they're 30. They won't
be ready for it yet. If they are truly serious about
it, they should spend the time beforehand in
the military, as correction officers or as a
private investigator." At least one of the jobs
he described is on the resume ofeach Evergreen
police officer.
"If you're a hook-'em and book-'em type,
Evergreen isn't the place for you," said
Costantino of any prospective police officer.
Huntsberry agrees with this as well.

Both Summer and Stephanie want to

"I would never verbally attack anyone, or

that everyone takes a risk by speaking out,
including herself. "There are people who are
angry about this, and my name is very out there

Mumia honors lEse graduation Deciphering the media conspiracy
By now, everyone probably knows that
dea th row political prisoner Mumia AbuJamal will be a fea tured speaker at the
graduation ceremonies on june 11 at TESC.
The co ntroversy has been marked by a great
deal of misinformation and selhighteous selt~
victimization by the opponents of his talk.
First, in the matter of Governor Locke
deciding not to speak, it must be made clear
that no one at the college disinvited Locke. The
administration , students, and faculty were
quite willing to hear what he had to say. It is
only after he presumably heard about the rest
of til<' program that he decided to back out.
With a Clintonesq uc eye toward thr polls and

informa ti on , hr suclde nly succllmbed to
politi ca l pressure from the police not to
participate. If co mmullity members want to
vent their frustration at tli e last minute
changes , th ey should direct their anger at
Locke.
Regarding the more important issue of
Mumia, he is not a "convicted cop-killer" any
more than Nelson Mandela was a "convicted
terrorist." Mumia is an innocent man who was
fraudulently convicted and framed for the
killing of Philadelphia police officer Daniel
Faulkner. Mumia has never been convicted on
evidence beyond a "reasonable doubt."
Even a cursory examination of the facts
of the case demonstrates this. His gun did not
match the lethal weapon, his jury was
systematically limited in the number of black
jurors allowed, his counsel was inadequate, his

Dear Readers,
Ove r th e past couple years of my co llege
career. I have noticed patterns in the way people
act with each other. The majority of my young
adult life has been spent in a committed
relationship, but since that has ended-being a
si ngle woman has been as frustrating as poking
a fat string through a needle hole. But before I
go on, it is important that you, th e reader, do not
perceive this article as male bashing of any sort.
Since my problems with intimacy involve men,
I am go ing to write from that perspec tive.

heard by the same corrupt judge, Albert Sabo,
who originally denied him a fair trial.
Obviously in a short article it is not possible
to "prove" the above assertions. Rather than
accepting the tea rs of those who believe that their
perception of a little party might be spoiled by a
dose of reality, I would suggest that thc reader
check out various so urces such as
www.mumia .o rg; www.prisonactivi st.org;
www.iacenter.org. These web sites will provide
num ero us links. Books to be examined include
Leonard Weinglass, Race for Justice; Refuse and
Resist, Resource Book on the Case of Mumia
Abu-Jamal; and Mumia 's books, Live frum Death
Rowand Death Blossoms,
Also there is a video documentary called
Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Case for Reasonable
Doubt? which lays out many of the main issues
in the case. This documentary will be shown on
Wednesday, May 26, 1999 at 2 p.m. in Lecture
Hall # 3, and is free and open to th e community.
Among the thousallds of people who have
studied the case and who have publicly called for
a new trial for Mumia are Noam Chomsky, Julian
Bond, Maya Angelou, Ossie Davis, Ramsey
Clark, Pete Seeger, Manning Marable, Howard
Zinn°, Geronimo Pratt, Bishop Thomas
Gumbleton, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Alice
Walker, Salman Rushdie, Elie Wiesel, Angela
Davis, and Nelson Mandela.
Among the organizations who have
publicly supported Mumia are the European
Parliament, the International Parliament of
Writers, the National Black Police Association,
Amnesty International, The African National
Congress, and unions representing hundreds of
thousands of workers, nationally and
internationally.
If we are to accept some of the arguments

One of the comments which has been
articulated is "what willI tell my parents and

sympathetic to a few (l hope) adults who are
college graduates who are either elitist or
fearful ofteUing other adults a simple thingthe truth. Mumia is a political prisoner in the
tradition of Malcolm X and Nelson Mandela.
Like them, he is controversial and an
international hero to many becau se of his
activities in the Black community before and
during his imprisonment. For the details, see
the sources cited above.
Like the gradua tion speaker offlve years
ago, imprisoned Native leader Leonard Peltier
(who also supports Mumia), the issues around
Mumia are more important than one perso n.
Th e issues include a criminal justice system
where people of color are systematically
imprisoned and executed disproportionate to
their numbers. The current rate of
incarceration for males of African decent in
the US is four times that of South Afri ca under
the worst days of apartheid. The issues include
basic fundamental justice tor a man , a people,
and a nation. I am very proud of the class of
1999, as it prepares to not only enter the "real
world" but also is already part of that world.
The only embarrassing part of the day
is that the administration ofTESC is not going
to give Mumia any customary honorarium.
Q.uite cheap and tacky. The question is not
whether we are going to honor Mumia by
hearing him speak, He is going to honor us by
his presence. Presumably Gov. Locke was
going to speak on how the graduates should
take advantage ofl ife's opportunities. I suggest
that we take up th e governor on this one. The
speech by MUlllia will be a s ig nifi ca nt
opportun it y to celebrate ach ieveme nt ,
courage, and the struggle for fr eedo m and
resistance.

On May 18 in Lecture Hall I. a panel
discussion sponsored by the Men's Center
occurred about pomography. There were five
panelists that shared some oftheir experiences
and views about pornography. There was a
question and answer session at the end.
Lemur Le Fagg began the discussion with
his background with pornography. He grew
up around pornography. and got interested
enough to attend a movie in a small theater that
to his delight was helping him get off because
it was tilled with the sounds of groans from the
other spectators. But someth ing happened in
the film that made him lose his erection. The
plot was about a man baby-sitting a "child" that
he raped and then convinced that she really
enjoyed the sex. So he got up and left the
theater.
Lemur showed a distinction that is
sometimes made between pornography and
erotica. Erotica is anything about "hea lthy"
sex where it is portrayed in a positive manner.
while pornography is about "negative" sex that
often involves oppress ion (particularly of
women). Lemur doesn't like to use those
distinctions though. with one reason being that
the political right will almost certainly never
allow depictions of homosexual activity to be
labeled in any positive way.
Another reason for not making a
distinction between porn and erotica is
because the labels can sometimes confuse the
issues behind people being allowed to view
visual representations of even the most hardcore fantasies. "Saying that pornography
cause-s rape is like saying heavy-metal music
causes kids to go out and kill people." he says.
The point is not what fantasies are allowed on
the screen. he feels. because the point is. what
fantasies we are going to seek out? Alot of porn
does lead to unfair gender roles. has negative
connotations etc. There is also a disturbing
frend in porn {due to thefactthat more camera
angels are available when participants' bodies
are far apart) that people are usually dista nt
from each other when their fucking. If children
don't have a positive way to learn about sex.
. then they're gonna learn about it somehow.
and this often may involve turning to these
porns where the children may grow up to
perpetuate trends they see. But if you don't like
a porn. don't buy it. He doesn't like labeling
fantasies as good or bad. and we're gonna have
them anyway. so there is little to be gained by
censorship and much to be gained by
proactively consuming or making it for the
better.
Mary.whostartedworkingonandofHor
peepshows at nineteen and then was a
prostitute for some time. had some interesting
perspectives of the industry. As in most
industries. it can be ditticult to get into place
where the worker is not somehow being
victimized by a torm of management. because
in prostitution. to be the manager one would
have to know about advertising places. have
connect ions with the cops. etc .. things that are
usually done by people who may not have the
workers' best interests at heart. But working
for sex can be empowering because it is a job
that the workers can sometimes enjoy doing.
and it pays a lot of money. If the worker is able
to be in a place where they are in control of the
situation. as she usually was. then it can be a
safe and very rewarding experience.
Pornography and prostitution is not a problem

Free Community Food Pantry
It's coming to the end of the year. everyone's
moving out. and The Free Community Food
Pantry needs your unused food. furniture. and
appliance donations. All things will be used
either by the Food Pantry. or sold to help run the
Pantry during the summer. We can use any dry
foods. canned goods. canning jars. unopened
perishables. frozen meats. and veggies.
Just call us and we can pick up just about
anything. Call now to schedule pick-ups. We
started the ear with nothin . and now we have
continued from cover
in her opinion. but problems are coming up
because of the way we as a society are treatina
itandbecauseofcurrentformsofmanagemen~
over the industry.
Tara then told us how she got into
feminism. was against porn. evolved her point
of view. actually started working as a stripper
and got to see some realities of the industry and
how people look at it. It wasn't all sleaze and
exploitation. although it does exist to a great
extent. What she found was that there were
some good sides to the industry where it
involved empowering women. and she also saw
negative reactions from people that wou ld
label themselves as progressive. However.
there are some glaring problems throughout
most of the industry because it involves the
disempowerment of women ill the way that
they are used. treated and represented. and she
feels that producers have a vested interest in
keeping women submissive and uneducated.
So the problem is not with representing sexual
experiences. but with many of the current ways
that it is done.
Tara recommends some questions to
(male) people considering llsing pornography
(but want to be ethical about purchasing and
using it): Why is it arousing? Who made it?
Is it consensual? Where are you buying it? And
most of all. why not make one yourselves? It
can be a lot offun. and is totally punk rock.
After a brief intermission and viewi ng of
Caro l Leigh at the Sex Worker Art Show.
Shawna spoke to us. She spoke some of being
involved in making porns (she actually filmed
one in her own driveway once!). talked about
some issues that came up. and was very pointed
in her comments about porns involving S&M.
She feels they don't emphasize safety
mechanisms nearly enough. So for people
watching the S&M movies who are interested
in getting involved with it. they may be
learning things that can get them (or others)
into very unsafe circumstal1ces because the
issues of consent (and safety) are
inappropriately unclear in the films. Things
that could be emphasized more in the movies
are the usages ofsafe words and having safe
equipment (i.e. something available to quickly
cut someone's bonds if they are freaking out).
Holly spoke some about her experiences
in a few porn films and some experience doing
phone sex. The phone sex was totally different
than making porn for her because it involved
talking one on one with someone. and she was
often told things about men's fantasies that she
didn't necessarilywantto hear. One man even
told of his arousal viewing children in a pool
(causing her abrupt disconnection). and other
men sometimes told stuff lik e fantasies
involving family members. But it was fun for
her overall. just as making the poms were. She
got some of the things out of it that she was
looking for. such as feeling like she was making
some difference in the industry in relation to
body issues. she was able to work some things
out herself. she had a lot ofhm. and it was all
very interesting. But while she would do it
again there are some main things she would
change. like researching the producer more
beforehand (they can be pretty shady if you get
the wrong one) and being more assertive
(particularly with issues involving money).
I'd like to thank the Men's Center and the
speakers for putting on a very interesting
forum. It didn't feel unsafe. and there was
some very cool knowledge ami perspectives
put forth.

students who was able to find a sponsor. says
it was an uphill battle. "We must have written
to about 50 or so facu lty. and gotten no's from
everyone of them." she says. "And then the
last-ditch thing was a joke." However. both she
and her contract partner were able to find a
sponsor in Nancy Taylor. one of the faculty who
attended. There were initially problems.
however. in that Taylor's field of expertise
didn't fit it with what Laurie intended to study.
"We're studying humor." says Laurie. "That's
what we started with." Taylor's focus, however.
is on European literature. and Laurie had to
rewrite her contract to include more European
authors.
"I like what we ended up with." she says.
"so that's not bad" She also says that this is the
third contract she's taken at Evergreen. but that
it's the tlrst time she has had this much trouble
securing one.
Michael Danielson. another sophomore.
was not so fortunate.
Starting with a contract on small
business management. hewas turned down by
a faculty member who didn't feel comfortable
giving contracts to sophomores. Later. he tried
again with a contract on multicultural
mysticism. He was again refused by several
faculty. either because they had reached their
contract quota or because it didn't fit their
experience. and the last-ditch fair saw him still
without a sponsor. Much like Laurie. however.
this is the first time he's had so much trouble.
Despite the fact that administrators and faculty
have said several times that it's inappropriate
for freshmen to pursue independent contracts.
he had no trouble finding a sponsor last year.
"Because of a very interesting registration
foul-up spring quarter of last year. I was not
able to register for any of the classes that
interested me." Michael said. "I was looking
for a computer class. because that was the field
I was hoping to get into at the time. but there
weren't any." Rather that talking to Academic
Advising. he went straight to Nancy Allen. a
faculty member who he had previously studied
under. and presented her with his idea for a
contract. On the way there. he met up with a
person who had just arrived at the college and
who had also been unable to get into a class.
This person. who had hitchhiked in from
Maine over the winter break. liked Michael's
idea and asked to join in the contract. "We
went up and we said. ·hey. we wanna do
this ...·says Michael. "And she said. 'great! I've
got this third person that happens to have kind
• of the same idea. so why don't I just give all of
you contracts and you can do your work as a
group?'''
.
According to Michael. it mad e no
difference that he was a freshman and the
hitchhiker had just arrived at the college.
Looking suddenly reflective. he says. "Oh. and
the third one. I'm almost positive was a
sophomore at the time. So none of us were in
a prime category for getting contracts."
Kitty Parker. director of Academic
Advising. felt that the large turnout for the lastditch fair was fairly normal. "Spring is usually
pretty big. The smallest number of contracts
and internships happen in fall. larger in winter.
and the largest in spring." In sprin g. it is
expected that many advanced students will
move out of programs and into individual
study.
"That's a very typical pattern." says
Parker. ''I've run those fairs with no studen ts
and six faculty. no faculty and about that
number ofstudents ... and that's not the biggest
one we've had." On the number offreshmen in
attendance at the fair. she said that the number
was"very atypical... we don't usually get
freshmen." She goes on to say that those
freshmen were most likely able to take
advantage of the "options that got invented at
the last minute." such as the new programs and
the programs with increased enrollment.
In general. Kitty dislikes the last-ditch
fair. "It's people who haven't prepared or been
in the process early enough." she says. "and
there are some people of course that did
prepare and something fell through. I feel like
it means that we're advertising that people
don't have to prepare early, and that is. like.
way wrong. We do it because it seems to serve
a purpose . we are sometimes able to help
students make matches. (andl occasionally we
have one that's very successful. But overall. I
wish we didn't have to do the last-ditch. I think
it's a bad idea."
She also feels that the majority of the
students present at the fair were not very wellprepared. "We try to make them focus on.
'what are you going to learn?' Because ifyou're
going to work independently. you really need
to prepare and be ready to work on your stuff.
And that's a group of students ... they're in this
situation not through their fault. but often
because they tried. but they aren't prepared.
and it's hard for them to hear the message that
they're not prepared. and that message comes
across as. 'I'm sorry. but I'm not going to
sponsor you ...·

Many people have approach ed me
recently asking about the biodiesel project. ..
Are you still making fuel? Is TESC supporting
you? Will the school ever use the fuel?
The answers to all these questions is yes.
We (my new partner Samue l Pixley and
myself) received a $1000 grant from the
Evergreen Foundation to finance a biodiesel
production plant at the Motor Pool. We have

are ready to start construction very soon! TESC
has been running biodiesel th rou gh th eir

May 20 at 7 p.m. in Lab II, 2242 (that's today!).
This will cover the basics (what is biodiesel .
why should we use it. how is it made. etc.). The
second wi ll be th e following Wednesday. May
26 at 3 p.m. in Lab II . 2242. After this talk. we
will move to the lahnratory and I will
demonstrate the actual process of making this
