Issues
by Steve Hughes
Contributing writer
If the tired phrase "children are our
future" means anything these days, then the
current debate over teacher salaries in
Washington state should mean something.
For many college students, however, high
school seems like a distant dream (or
nightmare) that they would sooner forget.
Unlike their college student constituents,
state legislators do not draw such clear lines
between K-12 and post-secondary education
programs. Washington state, in this era of
shrinking public investment, is waging what
has been up till now a slow and silent war
on education" As evidenced by their walkouts and rallies the past few weeks, public
school employees are feeling it, as are state
employees . In the years to come college
students and soon-to-be college students
likely will be too .
"In public schools there are politics_"
Marla Hughes just recently returned to
work in a place she knows well-school. As
a certified teacher having taught in the
Peace Corps, New Jersey, Arizona and now
Washington she feels at home working with
students. In some nine years in the
classroom, she knows a thing or two about
school administration as well.
Now Marla works at Capital High
School as an educational assistant, or EA.
"I work one on one with students with
relatively severe learning disabilities."
Capital High School is a magnet school for
students with disabilities in the Olympia
area and Hughes' department works to
provide the necessary services on a limited
budget. To deal with students in a way
congruent with the law, the special needs
department has a registered nurse on staff,
teachers, and other EA's such as Hughes.
This year, Hughes' department's
budget was cut. State policy dictates that
funding be allocated to special needs
programs throughout the state based on the
number of students without taking into
account the severity of their disabilities.
What does this mean? Students that have
severe disabilities often require one-on one
assistance as is the case with what Marla
does, yet in the state's eyes, working with
one severely disabled student rather than
three relatively self sufficient students

constitutes less work, if overall there are less
students. In short, it means more work for
Hughes and her co-workers.
"The state and federal government
doesn't fund anywhere near what is
necessary. We have students who are
nonverbal, students who are incollsonant,"
remarks Hughes. "These are students who
never used to be handled in a school
setting." In fact, it has only been in the last
20 or 30 years that students with disabilities
have not been shuffled away to institutions
far away from public schools. In an
integrative process, the doors of public
schools were opened to a wider population
of students with disabilities. For public
schools, serving these students is one of
many budget categories that must compete
for funding. "In a public school, there are
politics. There are pressures exe,-ted .. . of
money, pressures of personnel." remarks
Hughes.
What of the school on the whole?
Teachers also work with the students that
Marla handles. In fact, according to Marla,
positions such as hers were made necessary
to solve the overall funding problem. EA's
are started close to minimum wage and save
the school much needed revenue, leaving
EA's in a somewhat shady middle ground.
According to Hughes, "I think of my job as
a combination between a teacher and a
consultant. I assure you all professional
consultants get paid more than I do. [Also 1,
I'm paid less than half of a full time
beginning teacher."

Chlorine-Free Paper
by Sarah Vekasi
Contributing writer
For the past four years, staffand students
have been working together at Evergreen in
order to switch the type of paper purchased
and used on campus. The issue? Chlorine.
Pulp mills that use chlorine bleach to
make paper emit more than 250 different
chemicals, many of them highly toxic. These
chemicals include dioxins, furans, and other
chemicals which have been scientifically shown
to be extremely carcinogenic, immune-system
suppressing, endocrine-system disrupting, and
very threatening to human and ecosystem
health . Similar to DDT, many of the toxic
chemicals in pulp mill effluent bioaccumulate
and are persistent. Persistent means that some
of these chemicals, like dioxin, cannot break
down or biodegrade once they are in the
environment
or
an
organism.
Bioaccumulation means that animals preserve
in their tissues all of the dioxin that they eat;
thus every time an animal eats another animal
they gather more dioxin in their body. Every
time a human eats a fish she consumes all of
the chemicals that have entered that fish
through the whole food chain. Furthermore,
bioaccumulative chemicals never leave the
human body except when passed on to human
babies through the placenta or breast milk.
Fortunately, lots of research has been
done on the effects of chlorine bleaching and
as a result many alternative ways of processing
paper are available that do not involve the use
of chlorine or chlorine derivatives. Four years
ago students at Evergreen began researching
and doing education about the health issues
of chlorine-bleached paper. Students began
working with Bill Gilbreath in the Copy Center
to discuss alternatives to avoid creating dioxin
and similar chemicals for the environment.
Through the p€rsistence of the Evergreen
Students for Chlorine Free Paper and the help
of the staff and administration, Evergreen
successfully switched paper in both the copy,
center and the computer center during the
summer and fall of 1997. For several months,
Evergreen used an off-white paper that was
unbleached and 100 percent recycled with
post-consumer waste until the paper
manufacturer decided to stop making the
paper. The company said that there wasn't
enough demand for the paper and effectively
ceased producing the only affordable option.
In the face ofthis, staff and students who
recognize the seriousness of the effects chlorine
. has on the environment did not give up.
During the fall 01' 1998 Evergreen hosted a
Chlorine-Free Campus Clinic through the
Evergreen Environmental Resource Center and
the Campus Ecology program from the
National Wildlife Federation. The clinic
helped students from colleges throughout
Oregon and Washington learn about issues
with chlorine and how to change campus
procurement policies.
Momentum around chlorin- free paper
continued through another year and the same
group of students and staff went on to write
and pass a purchasing policy for Evergreen this
past fall which states that, "the College
endorses the production and use of paper that
is not bleached with chlorine or chlorine
derivatives and will, whenever possible,

carry it? How much paper is available? Is there
a paper supply available on demand or is there
a time lapse? Does the price of the paper
tluctuate depending on quantity purchased?
The committee sent out several calls to
paper distributors to send information on any
and all papers tliat are processed without
chlorine. Originally the hope of the committee
was to test different papers in the computer
center and copy center late winter quarter and
switch papers by spring quarter. Thus far,
however, no paper has been tested because the
paper industry isn't ready to produce an
economically viable and environmentally
sensitive paper yet. The results of the
purchasing searches found very few options of
chlorine-free paper available. The new paper
purchasing policy allows for a 10 percent
increase in paper cost, but the chlorine free
options that are available are still not
affordable.
It is unfortunate that Evergreen cannot
switch papers immediately, but what the
institution is doing by passin'g the paper
purchasing policy and participating in the
paper review committee is sending a clear
message to the paper industry that the time has
come to change their ways. By implementing
a progressive purchasing policy, Evergreen
helps manufacturers know that there is a
market for more environmentally sensitive
papers at an institutional level. Currently a lot
of grassroots organizations and private-sector
businesses pay tor chl,orine free or tree free
paper but having an institution like Evergreen
say that it will purchase this paper when it is
available at an affordable level provides
incentive for the paper to be produced.
As dictated by the policy, the paper
review committee will be together throughout
the process of finding, testing and selecting
papers. The committee intends to be involved
with ongoing education about issues
surrounding selection and which papers are
available. The committee is always open to
suggestions and help.

goes through a set of guidelines to follow to test
and select alternative papers which are both
more environmentally benign and within the
means of the College budget. In order to follow
through with the intention of the policy a
review committee was established which
includes students, faculty and all of the major
paper providers on campus.
The committee was officially formed
during fall quarter and has met monthly
throughout the year. The committee began
with a comprehensive education session
bringing each other up to speed about the
environmental and economic factors
pertaining to paper and the bleaching
processes. The committee decided to look at
several factors when looking for new papers:
How is the paper processed? What is the fiber
content and the total recycled content of the
paper? How much of the recycled content is
post-consumer waste? Where is the paper
produced, who makes it and what distributors

much money either. The starting salary for
teachers does not go much over $20,000a fact which is scaring many prospective
teachers, still in college, out of the field .
Those that do decide to teach often find
themselves working second jobs to payoff
college debts and to pay the rent. The
teachers' rallies that for days occupied the
state capital campus a few weeks ago were
punctuated with the cheer "0-0·3-0-4-0,"
referring to the annual state-issued pay
raises given to all public school employees
(and state workers) over the last six years.
According to the teachers, this seven
percent increase has failed to keep up with
inflation. Their demand these past weeks
has been simple: "Catch up [with inflation!,
and keep up."
As it stands now, the state legislature
has been listening-with reservations. The
teachers did not get the across the board 15
precent COLA (cost of living adjustment)
that they had been calling for. Instead, the
legislature agreed to a plan that would
increase beginning teachers' salary by 15
percent, mid·level teachers' salaries by 8
percent, and veteran teachers' salaries by 10
percent. When asked if she thought she too
would benefit from the pay raises, Hughes
commented "I hope so."
Teachers however took the debate over
school employees salaries a step further by
announcing a voter initiative they would be
taking to the public this summer, Initiative
708. 708 would have given teachers
automatic cost ofliving increases. The idea,
however, was criticized by other labor
organizations, including the Washington
State Labor Council, which represents
400,000 state workers. Speaking for the
Council to The Olympian (5/5/99), David
Groves pointed out the initiative does not

Will it be the student's turn soon?
Those that set state policy regarding K·
12 and higher education define students as
"consumers." Therefore, will the rumblings
being felt in the infrastructure of our public
institutions, including our schools, soon be
passed downed to the "consumer?" The
answer is it already has.
So much of the funding strife coming
from schools revo lves around the teacher
and professor market. The logic has been
simple, and fair ly widely agreed upon by
those on all sides: if you can pay teachers
and faculty more, they will want to stay, and
schools will attract better teachers. The
market is fierce out there, however.
California,duetorecentlypassedlegislation
requiring smaller class sizes, is actively
recruiting teachers from Washington State
with offers of higher pay. One finds almost
the exact same scenario between states in
the competition for top·notch (and
prestigious) university faculty. Add to the

RE:
What about the others?
The teacher's rallies and one·day
walkouts received a lion's share of press
coverage this year. They have, if nothing
else, drawn attention to the funding
problem facing public institutions. State
workers because they have not been as
visible are stHI slated to receive only a 3
percent pay raise. Part of the problem has
been everyone knows what a teacher does,
but few know exactly what a "state worker"
does. At Evergreen, however, the school
runs thanks to the "state workers" who do
everything from provide us with our pay
checks to repair tiles in Red Square.
This year Governor Locke's 2020
Commission on Higher Education released
its recommendations to streamline
Washington's education system. Included
in their plan was a plan to move to a tuition
setting policy called "local tuition control."
The Commission's report recommended
that unlimited tuition setting authority be
granted to the six Washington collegesmeaning each school would be given
complete control to set its own tuition.
State legislators, on the other hand, arc
advocating that tuition setting authority be
given to schools with limitations . Two bills
were offered this year which were both killed
in committee. However, on the last day of
this regular session, lawmakers slipped an
amendment into the budget which
accomplished what many in this state.
including members of the 2020 commission
and Governor Locke had been trying to do
for years: take the authority of tuition
setting at public institutions at least partly
out of the hands of the public-all in an
effort to be more "market based" (read:
competitive).

Student Employment DTF
On May 19 the Student Employment DTF will
be holding a forum to discuss their
recommendations to create a student
employment office and institute ~ twice-a-month
paycheck system. In the Dec. 9, 1998, meeting
with the Union of Student Workers we agreed to
take four steps that wou ld allow all student
workers to attend these forums:
To schedule the forums in a room big
enough to accommodate all student workers who
would wish to attend.
To schedule the forums during governance
hours when there will be no classes.
To sufficiently advertise the forums.
To request all campus employers to let their
student workers off during the designated time,
so that they too may attend the forums.

\
To that end, we request that supervisors grant
all student workers time off from 1:00 p.m. to
2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 19, to attend this
furum. As the employer of student workers you
are, of course, also encouraged to attend. The
forum will be held in Library 4300.

He said a lotofpeopledon'tunderstand many
ofthe reasons behind the things cops do; for instance,
why do cops often speed?
"Nothing irritates people more than a cop
going the speed limit," he said. Everyone on the road
slows to your speed and forms a huge traffic block.
"Most ofthe time," he said, "lcops] are trying
not to clog traffic more,"
He also recognizes the frustration people have
when cops tailgate.
They could be doing a check on the license
number or looking at the registration tabs, he said.
"Cops are rurious and there's any number ofreasons
why that can happen."
Another issue Huntsberry likes to clear up is
the idea that cops are so busy busting people for silly
traffic violations that the "real" criminals are all
getting away.
He said it's just a fuct that traffic violations are
more common than most other crimes, and added
that the myth offiling quotas is not true.
"I don't know of any agencies that have
quotas," he said. "There is no way that you can
successfully defend having a quota system. It's a
conflict of interest. "
It's unfortunate that more people don't
understand the intricacies of police work, he said.
This results in misunderstandings.
For instance, many people find cops
unfriendly and standoffish, but it's important that
cops remain on guard while talking to others.
"It's not to offend you," he said.

I want to respond to what I saw on
campus on May 5.
I need to think out loud now. I need to be
honest and vulnerable. I need to share what
happene~ the other day.l need to speak out as
a student of Evergreen and particularly as a
white woman.
I was asked to go to the fourth floor of
the library building to witnes~ what was
hanging from the ceiling tiles. As I walked
around the comer I became confused because
I couldn't tell what the intent of the "art" piece
was, or ifeven there was a purpose and/or ifit
was art. What I saw was a human-like figure,
made out of duct tape, hanging by the neck
with a noose.
What is it ... art? A political statement?
A response to suicide? A call for help? A racist
statement? A very sick joke?
Aside from the confuSing note and the
chair tipped over, there was no way of really
telling what the point.of hanging a human
figure was supposed to: represent. I couldn't
help but think, "this must be a warning of a
possible suicide." As the thoughts and feelings
were racing through my head and body, the
people I was with were reacting in a completely
different way. As I listened to and tried to hear
what they were saying I became more confused
and, thankfully, more aware of my own overt
and subtle ways of being racist. Why is it that
my reaction as awhite person is automatically
to think suicide while my friends, who happen
to be people of color, are thinking of a long
history oflynching, beatings, raping, stealing,
and genocide? Why is it that they see a cleardirect correlation between what appe.ars to be
an illustration oflynching and the fact that the
art show that is about to open is by a Native
American/Apache-Mexican woman-and I
struggle to see and understand this? It is
because my skin color is white and I have so
many privileges and assumptions I live by just
by the identity of being l'/hite. I am not faced
with racism. It is not in my life struggle except
as I try to see how my white identity affects my
world and the lives of people around me. I do
not have to worry about whether my brothers,
sister, mom, dad, friends, cousins, aunts,
uncles, or myself will make it through the day
because the color oftheir/my skin determines
whether or not they or I could be killed,locked
up, beaten or lynched today.
At this point, none ofus really know what
the intent was, however I am aware of what it
brought of for me and for others.around me.
Is it just a coincidence that the hanging,
regardless of the intent, just happens to be
displayed outside of the Art Gallery? I think
not, but at this point it really doesn't matter
though, because at this moment the intent is
not important, but implications and how such
a display affects people of color and me as a
white woman should not be taken lightly or
ignored.
If I put the implications of the hanging
into historical context, I begin to acknowledge
that seeing a body hanging without anyone to
explain or any written statement that gives a
clear explanation of intention, it looks like, and
possibly is, a hate crime. Think about the
number of people who's mother, father, son,
daughter, grandfather, grandmother, great
grandmother, or friends who have been
lynched, beaten, burned at the stake or raped
in this country alone. What does it mean ifyour
family or friends have a history here in the
United States either as people of color,
immigrants or as white colonizers? What does
it bring up for you? What would you think if
you saw a hanging right beside the sign
advertising the Multi-Media Art show by a
Native ~merican/ Apache-Mexican woman
whose art demands recognition of a long
history of oppression by white people? Even if
the "hanging" is about something entirely
different, it is extremely thoughtless and
insensitive.
You may be thinking that I am jumping
to conclusions or making assumptions about
what the "hanging" represents. Which may be
true; however, the fact that the hanging was
placed less than five feet from the door to the
Art Gallery is bound to stir a lot of anger, rage,
fear, confusion and questions. I needed to see
how my own denial and ability to not see the
connections separates me from my friends and
perpetuates racism and misunderstandings.
Our intent and actions need to be thought
about before making public displays. There
needs to be sensitivity to the implications as
we live in a society in which there is long
oppressive history and our current record is
not looking too good.

As of this writing, it's hard to tell whether
or not ground troops will be sent against our

about Y2K taking us out after all, because it'll be

Chinese will tolerate that level of U.S . troop

wonder, does the White House think God will

Personally, I don't think the end should
come via a HAL-from-2001-esque computer

RIP to all those who were murdered at the
Colorado High School, it is a terrible waste and
tragedy. But that shit goes down every day.
Police murder black men in Tacoma and beat
down others; Mumia represents the millions of
people in this country who face oppression due
to ethinicity and class. Fuck anyone who
complains about people jumping on the Mumia
bandwagon-you devils, this is about standing
up for righteousness, not some elitist
philosophical and abstract comments on society.
But back to the task at hand. Another problem
with the horrible high school murders is this: if
the shooting had been done by inner city kids of
color, the media wouldn 't have called them
ostracized and misunderstood souls. Nah, we
would be scareotyped as gangstas and dealers.
So fuck your opinion, 'cause why does it always
have to be a protest when white kids are

"Wall Street, in New York City, became a
vital capitalist financial center because it was the
first big slave trade center in the colonies and,
later, the new nation's principal slave trading
port, where the business of slavery was
transacted" (until 1862!).
And as the business of slavery went, so did
all other businesses! For about 125 years, there
was a wall that separated the financiers,
speculators and bankers from the stench,
humiliation and daily grime ofyoung New York's
vibrant slave trade business and African and
white working-class residential areas.
Hence, the name Wall Street."

Chile trip typified faculty, student failings
I am writing in response to the Education
or Party? article discussing the field school to
Chile in the April 15 CPJ and Raquel Cecil's letter
in the April 22 edition. My interpretation of
these two articles is that a group of students did
not receive the type of educational experience
they were promised in the program description.
In addition they were forced to live in a chaotic
and potentially dangerous environment. The
faculty, Jorge Gilbert, did not provide the
services that were promised, was not accessible,
and did not intervene when the school-organized
living conditions diminished into an alcoholic
orgy. When the program returned to Evergreen,
several students submitted complaints, refused
credit, and unsuccessfully attempted to get their
tuition refunded.
This is not the first time I have heard
students complain about the quality of their
faculty. I am not talking about students who
complain because they cannot attend a "moon
cycle" what ever that means, or who are "not
doing the reading or course work". which is vice
president Barbara Smith's explanation of student
dissatisfaction. I am talking about valid
complaints. I have some fr iends whose faculty
didn't show up to class for several weeks, and
when he did start coming again his attendance
was sporadic. I had another friend whose
contract sponsor would show up drunk! I am
sure we have all experienced or heard similar
stories. This is a very small campus. Seasoned
students are familiar with the reputations of
certain faculty and learn to avoid the classes they
teach. When students are unfortunate enough
to get into a program taught by an ineffective
faculty member, they usually try to make the best
of it and then get out and forget about it as
quickly as possible. Most students do not have
the time to pursue complaints that they have
with faculty.
The students who have brought up this
complaint against Jorge Gilbert obviously felt
that the quality of the field school to Chile was
so poor that they coula not just get out and forget
about it. They felt that what happened was
wrong and decided to say something about it
when it would have been easier to accept their
credit and move on. Saying something has not
been easy. The stude nts have lost credit,
thousands of dollars, they have had to deal with
the frustrations of unreceptive deans, and of
course, with Gilbert. Because this man, Jorge
Gilbert, is in the power position of being faculty,
he has no obligation to address any of the
students concerns. He doesn 't even have to
submit an account of trip expenses! To me this
seems outrageous.
Students must attend class, complete
assignments, participate in seminar, and so forth
in order to receive credit. What must the faculty
do in order to get their pay? To what level of
incompetence does a faculty need to sink before
they are fired? If there are no standards for
faculty obligations how can we expect faculty to
be responsible to their students? These are actual
questions I have. If anyone has an answer please
write a response.
When it comes down to it this college exists
in order to provide an education to the students
that pay thousands ofdollars a year to attend. I
think it is absurd that in cases in which we are
not provided with these services, there is no
recourse for us, the students.
I also have one last comment on this article
regarding Jorge Gilbert's decision to absolve the
male student accused of sexual assault.
Apparently one night after drinking this student
got into bed with not one but two sleeping female
students in two different rooms (which I think
implies that it was more than random chance.
You don't accidentally get into bed with two
different women, especially after the first one
and her roommates lecture you for a while before
you finally leave). He not only "stumbled into",
as the author passively phrases it, the bed of the
second student but "started rubbing [her) rear".
Despite this boy's actions Gilbert and the
other students decided, to quote from the article.
that "[Hel had not sexually assaulted anyone, but
had gotten so drunk that he did not know were
[sic) he was or what he was doing." What!? I
think it could be argued, and then documented
until there is absolutely no question , that most
sexual assaults occur when the perpetrators are
"so drunk". Allowing yourself to become out of
control does not excuse being out of control.
I am not writing this as a call for a mob
attack of this student, which is why I've excluded
his name. Everyone makes errors in judgment
about alcohol and sex, especially young college
students, which accounts for the astounding
number of rapes reported at colleges and
universities across the country. The act of
sexually assaulting or, even, raping a woman
does not make someone inherently bad, even
though it is often easier to view them that way.
What is inherently bad about these acts, I
believe, is the apathetic environment devoid of
standards of behavior and self-control that
would prevent these acts from occurring.
It saddens me greatly that even at
Evergreen, this tiny seemingly progressive little
world in which we all live, we have not created
this sort of environment. People who don't take
responsibility for their actions are able to
continue, which seems to be encouraging them
to continue to be recklessly irresponsible; and
individuals who do stand up to protest the
irresponsibility of others are intimidated,
chastised, and then ultimately ignored. If we
cannot make this tiny community a place where
the rights ofindividuals are protected can we be
so surprised at the injustices that occur in the
greater world?
.
Kathy Lik
Costantino on Mumia, Littleton
Dear Editor:
Last week the college received ca lls from
four high school teachers who expressed
disagreement with our decision to include a
taped message from Mumia Abu-Jamal as part
of our gradm tion ceremonies. Two of these
teachers saw our decision to include the tape as
condoning violence and therefore connected to
recellt events at Columbine High School. Upon
reflection, I have concluded that there may in fact
be a link, but not of the so rt th e teachers
imagined.
I start with the assumption that there are
deep disconnects among student subcultures in
our educational communities. High school
students d~vide themselves into a myriad of
c1assificatibns, including "jocks," "nerds,"
"preps," "gang bangers," "grunges," and so on.
Other distinctions are based on sexual
orientation and physical attractiveness and, in
some cases, racial and social class differences.
High school teachers and students are much
more familiar with the current classifications,
but I have spent enough time in high schools to
know that they exist.
Students carry many of these divisions with
them into college and add others (greeks,
independents, progressives, conservatives, etc.).
These groups often embrace very different views
of the world that create among them deep
chasms of distrust and hostility. Many of these
dramatic differences have been ignored by those
respons ible for educating and creating
communities in our high schools and colleges.
In some cases faculty and staff align themselves
with the values and aspirations of particular
subcultures to such an extent that members of
other groups are driven underground. One of the
frightening aftermaths of the tragedy at
Columbine High School is to hear and read about
the deep alienation that many groups of high
school students are experiencing. As I write this,
Web sites are being deluged with messages from
large numbers of students who see tl1emselves

LETTERS AND OPINIONS
Why I'll keep on
danci'n g
Dear Jet" LUl'LTO',
I patiently r('au your res punse tu Illy
art icle last week IApril:!:!1. so I decided to write
you back in an attempt to answer your
questiolls. Although I was excited by the
challenge, I still found your arguments to be
weak and a lillie confused. gut I do want to
make it clear that I am glad you thought 'abou t
Illy article and cared enough to write back, I
will try to make this article as simple as possible
so you can understand my motives for what I'
wrote.
Number ant', you demanded that I list the
dance clubs that I have had problems with. I
really dOll 't think that's necessary. It docs not
make my point any more effective.
Second, you ask why I would t'ven go to
other clubs. True, I have found a home with
Thekla and always make a point of goi ng at
least once a week. gut I do require varie ty in
my life. Do you eat the same ice C1-rJm flavor
every time? Sure, there are some places that
didn' t provide lIle with anyt hing but a nasty
learning experience, and 1 do make a poillt of
not returning. gut other clubs offer various DJs
and talented music groups t hat I enjoy. The
clubs are hill, its just sOllie of the people are
not.
I thought I explained why I didn't want
to change my own agenda to accommodate
assholes, but since that didn't seem elrec ti ve
enough for you, I will offer a difrerent voice.
After I read your article to Illy mother, she said
"What in life would be accomplished if you
avoided your problems? Are you going to go
through life avoid ing all of your pitfalls? You
have to pick your battles and these men have
to learn." Progress is only possible with people
who take a stand and this issue is one that I
would like to fight for. I will not restrict my own
freedom to make life easier. I want to try to
educate as many of these chauvinists as
possible (when I'm not dancing), whether it is
through a confrontation or conversation. I
know many women that feel the same way, and
I'm sorry-I don't feel like hanging out in the
same sewing circle for the rest of my life so my
husband can keep an eye on me.
The third argument you make is the
description I used for my offender. I used the
words "polo-shirt," "potbe lly" and "dork"
because that is how he appeared to me. 1don 't
find polo shirts particularly attractive and he
seemed like a man that enjoyed a gluttonous
lifestyle. Now, Jef.1 don't know if you own polo
shins or sport a potbelly, but that statement
was not an attack on either group of people that
do. I have a little tummy myself and kind of
enjoy it, we all do. I believe labeling people and
any form of discrimination is wrong. gut keep
in mind as a writer, no matter what you write
you will almost always offend somebody. In my
opinion, anyone offended by my comments on
this person is either oversensitive or just
looking for an argument. You may be right in
stating that it takes away from the serious
nature of my point, but being completely
serious seems pretentious to me, so I will not
include it in my writing style.
Also, included in this paragraph is your
concern that I limit harassmen t to one group
of people. I never claimed that harassment is
limit ed to ob noxiou s fraternities or the
military. I simply described my personal
experience with harassment in this particular

environment. To make a ge neral statement of
harassme nt that includes all races, careers and
classes seems to detract from my point. I,
personally, am harassed by men who appear
to put their penis first (in every sense of the
word) and draw energy from their little clich es.
When I dance, "hippies," lawyers, doctors, or
activists do 1I0t hother me. I seem to attract the
men who wear an obscene amount ofvertical,
thick stripes; it 's amazing my eyes can stay
focused in those pla ces. That duesn't mean that
the othe rs you listed don't harass other people,
t hey just haven 't harassed me in the co ntext of
my article. By the way, the jerk in my story was
a teac her, but he only appeared to me as a
spoiled child thaI treated women as toys.
Point number fou r, yo u are co ncerned
about my fri end. Well, she appreciates your
co ncern 1'01' her feelings, but she proofread my
article bcl'ore I suhmitted it to the CPJ. Her
opin ion is ext re III ely important to me and our
friendship is a wry honest, strong and specia l
one. So, please redirect your attention to your
own personal relations hips and leave mine
alone.
I will quirkly wrap lip this article because
I am get ting hored. Youlecl that I am preaching
to the choir. As I stated at the end of my article,
chan ge should come with th e women's
approach to th e situation. I have talked to
lIlany women on campus th at do take the
passive approach. I know there are probahly
many 1110re-1 wanted to offer advice for them.
Nol to people like yOll, Jef. I mean, if you are
harassed while dancing, I do hope you take an
assertive approach. But my article was written
from the female perspective for a female
audience. So relax, you are under no direct
obligation just from reading my article. And
don 't tell me to "take it to the streets"-what
the hell do you think I am trying to do every
time I go out? That is when I have the
opportunity to stand up t'or myself and often
try to involve one of my offenders in a pseudophilosophical debate. I do feel you
misunderstood my point, and, not to
generalize, but it seems like men are th e only
ones who do. Why do you think that is, Jeft
Please don't misunderstand me, men are
wonderful and most of the people I have talked
secure enough to recognize the difference
between themselves and these 16th century
apes.
And I appreciate all the positive support
I have received from my peers after publishing
my article.
I am just sorry you found the article
confusing, whether that is because of your lack
of experience with this issue or whatever
personal nerves I may have struck. The truth
is, I don't know if you're upset with my letter
because of my female, aggressive tone (which
is often received as bitchy), or that you just felt
defensive as a man. Now I know you're on my
side, or so you state in you article, but it just
doesn't seem like there is a very logical reason
for you to refute my article with such passion.
The worst part is, it feels like passion that
doesn't go anywhere. This article was for
people who are either unaware ofthe situation
or victims of the situation. You don't seem like
either, so I suggest you move on to an argument
you have something substantial to offer.

th~
Grad speaker situation
is unacceptable
~A)Ce:- ~
CoM"PL I "1EN'rAR..Y
by Sarah Manvel
So , Mumia Abu-Jamal is talking at
graduation, and Stephanie Coo ntz is the
keynote speaker. That really pisses me off.
Well, it 's not for the reason that everyone
else, including the governor of this fair state,
has go tten their knickers in a twist about. I am
upset because I never chose these speakers. No
one ever asked me if I wanted these speakers
or not.
In November or something, I was asked
to make a suggestion for graduation speaker.
At no time did Ithink this was a vote, because
how are you going to get 1600 people to agree
on anyone person by pulling names out of
hats? I made my suggestion, ticked my boxes
for preferred music and grad uation themes,
and dropped it olI. Apparently only about 60
other people did the sa me thing.
Is that really a surprise? With the level of
disorganization and bu ck-pass ing on the
administrative leve l on this collegc, is anyo ne
really surprised that students didn't waste their
time making suggestions'? I think the "theme"
is "Share Your Education" and I think the class
gift is f'or Bboks tor Prisoners, but that's only
because I lead the signs posted about the teeshirt contest (I don't know what won that,
either). At no time have I been specifically
informed, as an Evergreen graduate-to-be, just
what the hell exactly is happening for my
graduation. And at no time, ever, was I asked
to vote on any of these suggestions that the
student body made.
As a result of this disorganization and
insulting lack of consideration for the
graduating class, Mumia Abu-Jamal is
speaking. I laugh at the people who think this
is a great opportunity or a political statement.
Nope, it's a screw- up. The graduating class was
never asked to vote for a speaker; Gary Locke
was invited without a vote, therefore was
unclear if he really was invited; due to yet
another screw-up, a man on death row was
invited to speak; and now the whole thing has
gone to hell.
I don't really care who actually speaks at
graduation; I don't really care what they say,
or might have said. But what I do care about is
Evergreen including me in the celebration of
the completion of my schooling. This whole
fiasco (to be polite) has shown up a great deal
of the school for what it really does - provide
lip service to the idea of making students (but
no one else) take res pon si bility for their
decisions, but offering no parameters for such
choices. Then the administration gets to make
unilateral. irreversible decisions, and tell me
it's my fault.
Do you really think Evergreen was ever
going to ask its students what it wanted for its
graduation? I don't think so; that involves
paying too much at tention to what we want,
and we don 't pay enough tuition to warrant
that. I am furious that a school that purports
to be an enli ghtened place is making a
controversial political statement on my back
without even asking me first. I was naive to
expect them to ask me first, of course, but they
always prom ised they would. As a result, my
celebration of my education is being sacrificed
to a politica l debate I never wanted to be
included in .
Thank God I can just get my diploma and
get out of here. I love this school, but I don 'I
think I could stick the institutional hypocrisy
much longer.
I publicly call for Jesse Welch to step
down as head of Graduation Committee after
June 11 and for all future committees to make
no decisions or issue invitations without a
direct vote on specific suggested candidates by
the graduating class.

you.
I am not anti-activist. I simply refuse to
jump up and down, shout "me too!" and repeat
what everybody else is saying. I don't preach
to the choir.
I'm all for social justice, peace, reform of
drug laws, affirmative action-most Greener

because nobody else was. At Evergreen I do the
same thing, really, It's just that the things
nobody's saying are different, here. If! draw a
cartoon or write a column declaring that
writing letters to foreign governments does not
by itself solve anything, or that many activists
on this campus are more interested in looking
radical than in social change, I can be
comfortably sure that it will be the only item
in that week's paper stating it. Such activism is
counterproductive, and only tarnishes
activism's image-and it needs to be said,
I do my best to fill in the gaps and say

people to stand for causes for real rather than
as part of their personal search for identity. I
don't claim that I'm always right or even always
successful. But I do assert that I do my best and
that my intentions are always good.
For what it's worth, my advice is this.
Never compromise your beliefs. Never
congratulate yourself for taking a stand simply
because it's easy, or because everyone else is.
And, if you can avoid it, never preach to the

The ~rban Arts Expo accomplished an ironic task: bringing an
urban aI1lstJc expenence to tlle fore.ted, far-from-urban environment
0r::~ergreen. Some have asked, why do such a thing? What good does
=mg awareness ofan urban perspective bring?
The fuct that Evergreen is so separated and isolated from urban
reality was ~ctly the is.-.ue that the organizers ofthe Urban Arts Expo
were attemptIng to tackle, Many students at Evergreen, especially those
whowerer.llsedinanurbanenvironment,haveexpressedadiscontent
with the amount of cultural isolation present here. Our isolated
community can easily create a misunderstanding (or apathy) of the
reality beyond our campus and small city,
This is far from just an Evergreen or Olympia problem ; we live
in an isolated society. As more middle class Americans retreat to the
suburbs, the concerns and realities ofour communities become more
and more isolated. Social problems which occur within urban and
suburban worlds are seen as separated and disconnected from one
another. Poverty and violence within urban America becomesa "ghetto
problem," Crises in suburbia,
such as the Littleton, CO

by.
Of course, the Urban
Arts Expo was not expected to
bring an end to our social
isolation. It was intended,
however, to break down some
walls and create a few bridges.
It was seen as an opportunity
for students, Olympia
residents,
and guest

urban background to express
their voices and engage in
discussion, so that we may

successful. TIle event attracted a diverse group ofpeople from Evergreen,
Olympta,Seattle, Portland, and even Califomia ,who came to experience
and share urban perspectives. Hardcore music blared, vi~ual art was
displayed, ~try was shared, graffiti pieces were painted, and hip-hop
emcees, deejays, and breakers battled. During the main show, hip-hop
emcees gave true meaning to their purpose: to send a message to the
audience. They rhymed and ~poke about the realities ofa corpoldte mu~ic
mdustry, the iustory ofour nation, and Ilip-hop's role ofld L~ing awarenes.~
to our social problems.
. Mad thanks must go out to all of the perfonners and organizers
of dus event, which made all ofthis happen. Without dle months and
long days of dedication and work, which came from Lou and Jordan
from the Students Arts Council, Randy from KAOS, and many other
volunteers, this event could not have occurred at all.
. The disappointment ofthe event, however, was the lack ofpeople
actIVely engaged. The performers and artists were not simply on
"displa( so .that the au~ence could somehow become "enlightened"
by therr SOCIal perspectJve. Tackling the issue of cultural isolation
obviously involves more than being spectators of urban art. The event
was intended to also engage the audience in discussion and action, in
order to jointly work towards finding solutions to our social problems.
C0',llill~ty and mdependent organizations were present to promote
therr rrusslons and work, and a panel discussion occurred, which was
IIltended to focus on urban reclamation and independent media.
However the audience showed little interest in these aspects of
the event. Most people seemed to be dlere to simply spectate. When
asked to engage in the panel discussion, which immediately followed
the MC, DJ, and breakin competitions, only about 30 out ofalmost 200
people stayed. As an organizer opthe event (the panel discussion in
partirular), Ileamed that it is important to make the intention of an
event such as this more clear, and provide more means for active

The Urban ArtsExpoincludeda live hour-long Hi[THopconcert
thatproved to me that thIS campus can sometimes provide a forum
for Intelligent, f~ le~ arguments put forth in an artistic way. While
the entlre show didn t focus entlreiy on the political, there were some
noteworthy themes that came up a lot.
This is wha~ I got out ofit. Hi[THop is an art for dIe people and
or dIe people. HI[THop IS a special art fDIm that needs really able
s?und systems and too often is neglectedjllSt like Evergreen did (in all
faJITle5S, theorgamzers seemed to bedoing the best they could). Some
problems that come up in everyday /ik (i.e, unfair distribution of
money, and inequalities based on gender or skin color) also occur in
HI[THop, and ifHi[THop is going to be a forum for radical positive
change,. the~ problems have to stop with everybody's participation.
We are In a tune andpIEce where fixingfTI3IJyofthe world's problems

are beIng dIstracted by pointless entertainment and subliminal

,
Every Sunday the Olympia Earth First! will be leading botanical hikes through the
magnificent old growth ofthe Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Hikes will include the historical
aspects of the area and the botanical features of hte Central Cascades. The tllk~s will be
leaving every Sunday at 9:30 am from Value Village (corner ofHarnson and DlvlSlon). The
level of difficulty will be based on the people who are participating. People knowled geable of
the bioregion will lead these hikes. Bring appropriate gear. lunch. water, and a willingness to
learn.
Our National Forests are falling chiefly to corporations outside of the state because of
President Clinton's Option 9 Forest Plan. Option 9 is a Northwest Forest Plan that . does not
protect old growth, salmon, or any other endangered species. The Northwest Forest Plan
was passed in 1994, and since that date millions of board feet has been slupped overseas. 51
percemt of all timber sales in the National Forest is shipped o~erseas. By now, . there IS less
than 5 percemt old growth standing in the lower 48 states. OptIOn 9 opened lip the Nat~onal
Forests for major liquidation ofthe remaining old growth. We have a chance to stop National
Forest logging by ways of citzen involvement (this means you!).
.
Most of the hikes will be through low to mid-elevation old growth that IS slated to be
cut in the next two years. By experiencing amazing beauty so close to your home, you .can
gain appreciation for the last stands of old growth in Washington. Learn how to lead hikes
and participate in protecting your forest.
There are programs through non-profit organizations like Pacific Crest Biodiversity
Project's "Adopt a Roadless Area" that help our roadless ares become protected and so future
generations can experience our national heritage. Also, there are other ways to become
involved . You can email Protect Our Public Lands at HYPERLINK mati to :
kim2@chickmail.com. You can also contact the Olympia Earh First! at 867-9054; or Pacific
Crest Biodiversity Project (206) 545-3734 if you are in the seattle area.
Coordinator position availible
Crust:
2 c. unbleached flour
1/2 c. wheat flour
1 c. warm water
1 package dry yeast
1 tsp. unrefined sugar
1 tsp. salt
olive oil
Topping:
2 med-small potatoes
rosemary
salt
olive oil
May 10 -14.1999
Foods that most often cause
an allergic reaction:
SHELLFISH
For the crust, mix the warm water with the yeast and sugar, let sit 10 minutes. It should
start to foam . Mix the rest ofthe dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir a bit of olive oil into the
water/yeast mixture. Stir the two together. Knead a few times, and set in a warm place for
60-90 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice/shred the potatoes as thin as humanly possible, the thinner the better.
Soak the potatoes in a bowl of water until dough is done.
.
Punch down dough and divide into two even pieces. Roll each one out to the size of
your pan on a floured surface. Grease the pan and spread out the dough. Drain the water
from the potatoes. Coat the potatoes with enough olive oil to get them wet. Spread the potatoes
evenly on the dough in a thin layer. Sprinkle with rosemary and salt. Cook in preheated oven
on top rack at 4500 for 15-20 minutes or until the bottom is brown and potatoes are brown
on top. Let cool before cutting.

On Thursday May 20,h Students for
Free Tibet will be fasting to support and raise
awareness for the two Tibetan hunger strikes
currently happening in Switzerland and New
Zealand. We are deeply concerned with the
continued human rights violations occurring
in Tibet. We are alarmed with worry that the
international community and the United
Nations' human rights mechanisms have
failed to end human rights abuses in Tibet.
Time is running out for the Tibetan people.
Over one million have been killed by the
Chinese Peoples Liberation Army. The
Tibetans will not give up on their peaceful
struggle to liberation. Today six humans are
sacrificing their lives for Tibetans to have
human rights . Is this what it takes? Do
innocent people have to die for truth of
freedom to be recognized and enforced?
In Geneva, Switzerland three Tibetans
have been striking since April S°,. Today,
Thursday May 14 is their 39'h day with out
e.
food. The second strike outside of the
Consular of the Peoples Republic of China's
office in New Zealand started on April 26th
The two Tibetans and one New Zealander
age 21, are on their 18,h day. The strikers all
have common demands for the UN Secretary
General, New Zealand Prime Minister
Jenny Shipley, and other world leaders to
recognize.
1.
Adoption of resolution by the 55'h
UNCHR to ensure China for the continued
human rights violations in Tibet, including
the appointment of a special rapporteur on
Tibet.
2. To urge China to receive a delegation
of International Union of Socialist Youth to
visit Tibet to investigate the situation of
human rights in Tibet.
3. . To urge China to allow representatives
of UN's Committee on the Rights of a Child
to visit 10 year old, world's youngest political
prisoner, Gendun Choekyi Nyima, the il'"
Panchen Lama ofTibet.
However, other less common foods can also cause anaphylactic reactions.
