wea pon and pointed it at them, Griggs at her
head and Gulbranson at his chest.
Bird admits that the Gr iggs incident
happened and that it was a stupid thing to do.
but adamantly states that rather than pointing
his duty weapon at Griggs he only pulled his
weapon out in display. Bird says the second
charge brought by Gulbranson "is bullshil."
According to Gulbranson's Nov. 8
statement to investigating officer Lt. Brad
Watkins of the Thurston County Sheriff's
Office. the incident happened on Sept. 26
between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. in the officers locker
room. Gulbranson was teasing Bird about his
failure to apprehend a person that had
warrants out and in response Bird pulled his
gun and aimed it at Gulbranson.
Though the second charge was dropped
by Thurston County's Prosecutors Office, the
evidence was more incriminating and more
thoroughly investigated than the first case.
TESC officer Christopher Lewis's statement to
Watkins was that he saw Officer Bird draw his
weapon in response to the conversation taking
place between Bird and Gulbranson. Lewis
perceived the conversation between the two
and the subsequent action as "some kind of
joke, or that type of thing." Lt. Watkins asked
Lewis if Bird pointed the weapon "in the
general direction of Andy," to which Lewis
replied, "I would say the general area. but-I
can't be sure ifit was directly at him or not."
Lewis went on to say that the action was not
appropriate, in his opinion.
At tlrst. Bird was not even sure that the
second incident had even happened. but when
he found out that Lewis was witness to the
incident he changed his mind. Bird said "that
they [Lewis] remember me unholstering my
gun which leads me to believe and think that.
yes. I did do it because I trust the other officer.
He also said that it was pointed in the general
direction. He [Lewis] was certain that it was
not pointed at the individual. Did something
happen? Yes. Did I un holster in there? Yes."
Bird says that he argued adamantly
against the Gulbranson case yet he decided to
leave the force anyway. Bird said he resigned
because "a lot ofthem [Chief Huntsberry and
Vice President for Student Affairs Art
COllstatinol firing me was done for political
reaso ns . Especially after the second incident
was reported. they were paranoid. treaked out
that there was gonna be riots 011 campus and
people were going to be marching. They wne
scared to death that it was going to be a big
political issue, bad press for Evergreen. They
never go t that." Bird also says that th e
community at large was in support of him. "In
a way it was great but at the sa me time it was
so discouraging bpcausr I had the community
that I was protecting giving me more support
than I could ever hope for. and I have my own
department basically trying to put the knife
in my back. It was so frustratillg that it was
unbelievable. especially when I found out that
I was going to be terminated. "
After tht' Griggs incident the initial
disciplinary action was going to be suspension
without pay for the first. Then Bird was going
back to duty as normal but whell the
Gulbranson investigation carne back Bird said
they decided to fire him the next day. Bird said
that no one outright asked for his resignation
but that "a friend hinted to the point that
res ignation would possibly be my best option
if I wanted to pursue a career in law
enforcement." In Bird's estimation
Huntsberry did not want him to go. When
asked if it was Costantino's office that was
pushing for his termination Bird answered in
the affirmative.
Costantino denies asking for Bird's
termination . "That's not true." He says the
decision was Steve Huntsberry's and only
Huntsberry's. "He is in the best position to
make it."
Steve Huntsberry said that he considerd
Bob a friend and was sorry to see him go, that
Bird was one of his most effective officers.
I asked Andrew Gulbranson what he
thought about Bird's leaving. He said, "I felt
that is was a bad decision on his part." He also
said. "Personally I think they asked him to
resign . It might look better for him career wise.
It's definitely better for the school."

Worker classification endangers student jobs
by Jennifer Lauren
Staff writer
Last August, a request for electrical training from Housing
facilities led to the review of student jobs in Housing. With 30·
40 institutional positions. Housing is probably the highest
employer of non-work-study students on campus.lfthe findings
ofthis review lead administration and union representatives to
believe students are illegally performing classified work, this
program could be eliminated.
For students like Kelly Carter, who has worked in Housing
maintenance since Apr. I, education may not have been an
option without the institutional job that Housing provided her.
Ineligible for work-study because of her parent's income. Carter
is solely responsible for funding her education.
"If( didn't have this job, I'd be fucked," Carter said. "I live
off of what I get paid here. I don't get financial aid. I would have
had to drop out. Without jobs like this one, there are flO options
for people like me."
Representatives of Housing's Student Worker Committee
(SWC) maintain that besides funding education, Housing jobs
provide students with necessary life skills and supplement their
learning at Evergreen.
But the request for electrical training raised questions
about what students are doing in Housing and if their work is
safe and legal. Coming to a consensus regarding what "legal" in
this case actually means has been difficult. All parties agree that
a classified position which has been terminated due to lack of
funds cannot be filled by a student.
A cla ss ified worker is a sta te employee who gets
representation from the Union of Federal Employees. Most
Union jobs, although not all, are full time. Union workers are
given protections under civil service laws which include job
security. paid vacation, salary security. and medical benetits.
Student workers aren't given these protections and are classified

any, legal protection.

worker. While students in Housing facilities often make $5.50$6.00 per hour. a classified worker can start at as much as $15.00

"The issue of students doing classified work is as old as
classification itself," said Alan Whitehead. "Just because the
union raised the question, doesn't mean that they are after
student jobs. In a number ofareas, we've seen a 'job creep.' There
has been some tendency to shift classified jobs into student
employment."
But supplantment, the replacement of classified workers
by student workers, isn't the only issue at hand. According to
Whitehead, students aren't permitted to perform any work that
is classified.
"A job is either classified or it's not. lfit is classified work,
management is obligated to hire a classified worker. ... If a
student is doing classified work and being underpaid, without
receiving benefits, it undermines the representation that we
worked so hard for."
Whitehead maintains that the issue is bigger than student
employment. The union , he says. is about job security and fair
treatment for all employees.
"Civil service laws are there to protect all employees, to
make sure that they can have a living wage, job security, an
protection under the law." said Whitehead. ''It isn't the union
vs. the student employees here. It 's the union fighting for
protection for all employees."
But student employees maintain that although the work
they perform is not classified. the law does give them protection
when performing classified work. as long as the y aren't
supplanting previous classified workers.
"They keep telling us that just because we are doingsimilar
work to classified employees, we are breaking the law. " said
Stephanie Burkholder who has been doing legal research for
the SWc. "But nowhere in the law does it say that institutional
student workers can't do classified work."
The law under debate is RCW 28B.12.060 which pertains
to work-study student employees. While the students involved
maintain that the law pertains only to work-study students. Jim
Lacour. Director of Human Resources. would disagree.
"The work-study rule specifically applies to work-study."
said LaCour, "but it also applies to all temporary employees or
student workers."
According to Chance Koehnen. who has worked in
PHAT health tip of the week:
HOUSING
continued from page 4
Housing for five years and will leave his
position on Dec. 29, the jobs in Housing are
about more than labor issues. Student
development and educational security are
what make the jobs in Housing important.
When Koehnen took a job in Housing
facilities, he had $50 in his name. He was told
that if hired, he was expected to remain there
for the duration of his academic career.
"They said, 'if we hire you , we will
consider you a human investment ...· said
Koehnen, "and that sounded like job security
to me."
Without his job in Housing, Koehnen
wouldn't have been able to complete his
education without going into debt. And going
into debt, he said, wasn't an option. He would
have dropped out of school.
"In light of the opportunity I received,
that's why I'm so invested in this issue. I want
to make sure that the students who come after
me have the same opportunity to go to school
without going into debt, " said Koehnen. "II
may seem like all we learn in Housing is fixing
toilets, changing light-bulbs, and general
maintenance tasks. But even though we learn
those things, student development speaks for
more than that. InterdiSciplinary study, public
speaking, receiving and giving training ... you
learn very applicable academic skills here in
Housing."
The SWC has recently submitted their
job descriptions for a review by Human
Resources which will begin on Jan. 1. All sides
seem to agree that regardless of the findings.
no student will be fired. If students are illegally
performing classified duties. their jobs will be
phased out slowly.
At first, according to Koehnen , there was
a fear that 30-40 jobs could be lost at once.
"Because the situation was so unclear, we
assumed the worst. Over the last few months,
we've become more and more sure that this
won't happen." said Koehnen.
Right now. no one knowswhat the
outcome will be. and few are willing to
speculate until the job description review is
complete.
"No one knows for sure where this is
going," said Segawa. "We just don 't know what
we're dealing with. But the students have really
handled themselves well in this whole
situation. They've been forceful and respectful
when making their case. I think they've reacted
well."
A conclusion is expected to be reached
by the end ohhe academic year. lfchanges are
made , they won't begin until July 1. the
beginning of the fiscal year.
Key speakers join the Board of
Trustee~ to
discuss critical issues
by Lara Littlefield
Student representative
ofthe Board ofTrustees
The next Board of Trustees meeting is
co ming up next week. There will be an
educational/planning session for the board
members on Tuesday, Dec. 8. followed by J
board meeting Wednesday. Dec. 9. There are
a few important issues that will be brought up
at the planning session and board meeting.
One will be a discllssion of the recently passed
Initiative 200. This initiative ends affirmative
action in the state of Washington. The effects
that this initiative may have upon the college
are not yet known. Discussion may revolve
around the relationship between this initiative
and Evergreen's policy and practice. The r e
will be another discussion surrounding the
recently published report by the Governor's
2020 Commission on the Future of PostSecondary Education. This committee was
formed by Governor Gary Locke with the
intention of seeking solutions to post
secondary educational growth with an outlook
to the year 2020. There were many ideas that
came out of this report. A few included
.providing scholarships for all those that
graduate from high school-this scholarship
would be sufficient to pay tuition for a
minimum of two years of post-secondary
education, increase distance learning, and
local tuition sett ing. Members of the 2020
Commission will visil the Board on Tuesday
to discuss the report.
Finally. with the legislative session
coming up soon. discussion will surround tuition issues. Pal Callan. the President of th e
Higher Education Policy Institute, will join Ihe
planning session on Tuesday as well.
The next board meeting is also an
im portant one for another reason. On
Tuesday, Dec. 8, we will be welcoming our new
board member, Karen Lane. Karen is replacing
Chris Meserve, our alumni trustee, whose term
has just expired.
I thank Chris for all her hard work and
insight she has given to the college over the
past years. In the short time I have served on
this board it has been clearly apparent that
Chris has been a valuable asset to the board.
At the same time, we welcome a new member
with her own strengths to bring to Evergreen.
Welcome Karen!

USW co-coordinator
In the wake of the meeting between the
Union of Student Workers (USW) anil the
Evergreen administration about implementing a
twice-a-month pay check for student workers
many still have unresolved questions about the
meeting and the Union's proposal. It is becoming
clear, however, that many students are talking for
the first time about their jobs as college
employees, and the school's pay schedule.
The Union's Proposal
Currently, other state schools are paying their student
workers twice every month. In the proposal the Union
explained the system Eastern Washington University is using
to handle student employees. Eastern runs a Student
Employment Office (SEO), a centralized office which handles
student payroll records. Evergreen, on the other hand,
processes and stores those same records in three different
offices. The Union explained at the meeting that the current

Tipping off the season Friday, Nov.
20, the Geoduck Women matched last
year's one-win season. Coming out with
force, the Lady Geoducks held the Pacific
University Boxers scoreless for the first
eight minutes of the contest.
"I was happy with the overall effort
of holding them scoreless; it really gave
us a boost of confidence at the defensive
end," head coach Rick Harden said.
Going with a match-up zone that
stifled the inside game of the visitors, and
with no outside shooters, the Lady Boxers
couldn't do much but stand and watch as
the Geoducks rebounded their missed
shots, which turned out to be a lot of
rebounding. The Boxers shot only 14 for
46, a measly 30 percent, from the field.
On the offensive end, the long-range
shooting of the Geoducks was en fuego
(on fire) , nailing six of 15 three-pointers
for 40 percent, topping their field goal
percentage of 36 percent. Leading all
scorers was Gretchen Pedersen, a 5'9"
forward , with 17 points. Alex Dagnon
grabbed a team-high nine boards and
chipped in 13 points of her own. Erin
McLeod, an excellent passer, dished the
ball for a team-high five assists. With this
win the ladies got off on the right foot for
a pro mising season.

arc and the Lady Geoducks didn't seem
to get the joke, continuing to leave
shooters open.
"U PS is a tough team and has
national tournament experience and it
really showed through , tonight," Harden
commented after the game.
The Logger s also played tou gh
defense , leading to 25 Geoduck
turnovers. They shot only 26.8 percent
from the field.
"Turning the ball over really killed
us tonigh t; you can't have 25 turnovers
and expect to win ball gam es . We'll just
hav e to take thi s lo ss as a lea rning
experience," Harden said . Chrissie

TESe 44
Traveling down to Oakland to play
the Hawks of Holy Names College, the
gym looked like like something from the
medieval era and smelled just about as
old. The Hawks took it to the Geoducks
"Oak land style."
With aggressive
rebounding and trash talking , the first
couple minutes were a little bit of a
culture shock for our gals.
"They [Holy Names] were aggressive
right from the get-go and it took us a
couple minutes to get used t"o their
'bumping bodies' style of play," Harden
said of the game . Going into half-time
the Hawks only had an 11 point lead, 3423, and the Geoducks knew they had to
cut down the number of second
opportunities in order to make a
comeback. Harden made keeping Holy
Names off the boards the focus of the
half-time meeting.
However, the
rebounding gap only seemed to widen as
the game wore on, and the Hawks came
out victorious in the end with a 44-25
rebounding edge. Gretchen Pedersen led
all scorers with 14 and again Dagnon was
ferocious on the boards with 9.
"They were really physical and we
really need to be ready to play at that
level of aggressiveness," said assistant
coach Rebecca Trejo. The illustrious
second win that could break a school
record continued to elude the Geoducks
as the clock wound down, and the

It was a match made in heaven: the
Banana Slugs of Universi ty of California,
Santa Cruz, and the Geoducks of The
Evergreen State College, a meeting
Harden dubbed "the slime bowl" due to
the nature of the respective mascots.
This was a night for the history books,
though it didn't start out that way:
Harden had to yank a few starters before
reserve player Rebecca Henrie came in to
spark the game. Though not scoring any
points, Henrie provided defensive
intensity that proved pivotal to the
game's out(ome .
"We came out real flat on defense
and it's great that Becca was able to come
off the bench and give us a little push in
the right direction," Harden commented.
From that point on the Geoducks never
looked back to see where their fellow
"slimers" were . That night saw three
school records broken. It was the team's
second win, one more than last year;
Evergreen scored 74 points, which is the
most points scored by the women's
basketball team in a game; and finally,
Chrissie Voyles made 10 of 12 free throws
which is the most free throws made in a
game.
Another addition to the history
books came when Pedersen committed a
foul and, for some reason, the referee
charged post player Dagnon (who was on
the other side of the court) with the foul,
giving Dagnon her fifth personal foul.
For the last nine minutes the Geoducks
were without Dagnon, their primary floor
leader. However, Voyles picked up her
game, giving the team a boost with 20
points, while Pedersen added 22 points
and nabbed eight rebounds. Erin
McLeod also added 11 points and
continued her stellar passing with five
assists.
So, the Lady Geoducks have done us
proud in their first four games, with their
record now 2-2. And make no mistake ,

Perfection NOW! Trouble in Toyland
Greener Strips to Pay for Education
by Alicia Webber
Staff writer
·The names of people and places have been changed
or omitted to protect the individual. The story as told
is true.
Vanessa * is a full-time science major at
Evergreen and a single mother with a two year·
old son. She was dancing in a strip club last
summer and into the beginning of the quarter
but had to quit because her class was so
challenging. She worked from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m.,
in between raising a child and doing her class
work. "\ go to bed at 5 a.m. and then wake up at
7 or 8 a.m. with my son to get him breakfast
because there was no one else there to help me."
She hasn't heard from the father and her parents
aren't helping financially because they don't have
much money. She gets some financial help from
the state but not much. She started dancing
because that was the only way she could make
the amount ofmoney she needed to pay the bills
in the short amount oftime she had.
Vanessa danced at a club in Tacoma and
paid them $100 a night to work there. As a new
girl, she made $300 a night on average (not
including the fee to the club). "It's kind oflike a
twilight world," she said about the atmosphere
at the strip club.
"I had problems with intimacy in my
relationships because working there made me
feel weird about sex and my sexuality and others'
sexuality. That is why strip clubs exist-because
we [Western society) have a problem with our
sexuality, like it's dirty or something. We have to
hide or it's unclean." A friend she danced with
believed that dancing was healing energy and
that's how they should perceive it. Ifshe thought
ofit any other way, it would not be worth all the
pain and her bizarre feelings about it:
"It almost ruined the relationship I'm in
now because I was going through the whole
intimacy thing where I was trying to separate
what I do when I'm dancing, which is trying to
turn guys on-and that that's what they're
paying me to do-and wanting to turn on
someone who I care about. That is a really hard
thing to separate. It's still me doing the same
thing, but I should think of it as a different
person, someone I care about and love. It was
really hard for me to make that separation, and
it caused a lot of problems in our relationship
and caused him to feel hurt. It was hard to explain
to him that it was something that was internal,
something that was going on inside of me. My
sexuality was already kind of screwed up before
I went to work there, and it just kinda added a
new level of screwiness to it."
"When 1 look back on it, I'm not that
person. It's Thedra [her stage name]. Thedra's
doing this, not me. I was a different person."
Thedra was outgoing, and part of her job was to
go up and make conversation with people,
something that Vanessa never does. She
described herself as an introvert. "Once I started
working there, [separating] was the only way I
could deal with coming home and being a mom.
It's a really hard thing to do, it's hard to make
that shift."
She doesn't think she could go back to the
same club, but she would consider dancing
somewhere else. "The girls there were just
bitchy." The club Vanessa danced at was one of
the only clubs without the four-foot law [men
must stay four feet away from the dancers). "Lap
dances weren't that bad," she said,
"except there
,.
are a lot of
really creepy
guy s . "
They're not
supposed
to touch
t h e·
dancers,
but
dancers _ _ __
can touch
them and
can set their
own limits.
Some girls
would let
guys finger
them and other stuff, and some
guys assumed that all the girls are the same.
Vanessa had to tell them, "You know, you need
to put your hands down. I'll dance for you, but if
you're going to do that then I won't."
She had a bad experience with a guy who
kept on wanting her to dance for him. "He
wanted me to do that kind ofstuffand Iwas like,
'no.' For one, you don't pay me enough for me to
even consider it. The thought was just repulsing."
Most of the guys there were nice, unattached,
older men that just wanted someone to talk to.
Vanessa kept coming back because of the good
people that she met, the nice guys.
Some people were really rude to her, she
said, but "once I had set my limits and decided
what I wanted do and what I didn't want to do, it
was easier. I would j\lst say, "I'm sorry, but I can't
dance for you if you want to do those things.'"
When asked if she felt unsafe, she said not really.
Vanessa lived far enough away from the club that
she would notice if someone was following her
home. The dancers were escorted to their cars
L.
after work.
Her first night stripping was horrible. "The
first night, Ionly made 20 bucks. I dance at night
clubs a lot and I wore something that would go
over good at a night club, but it was too much
clothing for a strip club and I didn't take anything
off Guys were literally scared of me because I
didn't fit in their idea of what a dancer should
look like. I wasn't showing enough and I wasn't
taking enough off on the stage. I didn't wear
makeup or have a suntan. I was kind of like a
hippie girl, you know. I didn't shave my armpits
or my legs. I actually did before going up there,
because I knew they would expect that, but I
didn't shave my pubic hair. Most of the girls
shave themselves entirely, and Iwouldn't do that.
I love my hair too much. I felt really awkward the
whole night and I couldn't give dances and
". ,th~ guy that I got
the 20 bucks from
was a really nice
guy who didn't
want me to dance
for him. He just
, '. ,
I
felt sorry for me.
I
I
I didn't even

dance for him. It

was a horrible
night.
Icried, I teIt
"--- -'."
,
-,so alienated. So
the next night I
came back as a
different person. I
just became the
dancer, I became
Thedra."
She sa id it was easier to
conform because then she got the positive
feedback that she needed. "Anyone feels hurt
when they're rejected," she said, "and I needed
to make money." She needed to be accepted
because, at her level of experience, she couldn't
make that kind ofmoney that fast with any other
job. "I mean,l was making 30 to 40 bucks an hour
for five hours. Not"even people who graduate and
get a ~,h.D. get that much money an hour, you
know.
"I got really good. I got really strong. It's
an extremely difficult thing to do. Just danCing,
my muscles got really toned." The girls spend
four hours a night dancing on stage and they have
to be fit because the men don't like it if the
dancers look tired. They don't like the girls to
look like they're exerting any effort. They don't
want them to be sweaty. "It's a bizarre concept,"
Vanessa said. "They want to see you dance
around but they don't really want to see you
shake your booty either. It's like you have to look
good all the time. You know, like dance

provocatively but don't let any ofyour little jiggles
jiggle except for the ones that they want to see
jiggle, like your boobs or something. It's full of
multiple ironies, that establishment and the
whole entire business."
Vanessa went completely nude a few times
on stage. She said it didn't really bother her
because it's just her skin, it's her body, what God
gave her. "But it's a really weird thing because I
would never dance like that for my boyfriend,
even. It's like I just became Thedra. All the girls
take off all their clothes so it wasn't really that
big of a deal." When the girls are on stage, the
guys can't touch them. She said she would far
see Srrippers on page 9
What would I say to a girl who
wanted to strip?
• Be careful and do it with a friend.
That way you go in with someone you
know. Kind oflike a base for reality and
someone who you can talk to so that
when the girls snub you and are mean to
you, you have someone to talk to. And
they will, especially the girls who have
worked there for a long time. They are
very thick-skinned and crass .
• Don't let it take over your life and
don't allow it to affect your life if you can.
Try to keep it separate. That's the best
way to deal with it. I'm Thedra at work
and I come home and I am who I am, I'm
not that person. It takes a lot to be that
person, it takes a lot of effort and energy,
and separating.
·1 sit down with the guys there and
a lot ofthem are really stupid people, I'm
not joking. They are. They want to hear
about me and I'm like "do you really want
to hear about me?" Because you know I'm
doing physics and calculus. "I mean, do
you really careT' And they don't, they
don't care, they're just trying to make
conversation. So you really have to
separate it.
·She has to be sure that she really
wants to do it and know what really goes
on there, that there are really creepy guys
and that they do want you to do stuff. You
should be sure before you ever go in there
to set your limits on what you'll do and
what you won't do. Because that's the
most importing thing, to know who you
are.

rather be dancing at a club where she wouldn't
have to touch the customer. There are clubs like
that in Portland and the girls make just as much
there.
"Some of the guys are just so scuzzy that I
wouldn't want them anywhere near my body. But
I make really good money." Dancing has
toughened Vanessa in a lot of ways. "It's made
me think I can accomplish anything I set my
mind to. I always thought that before, but 1had
never been put in a situation where 1had to make
it work, that I had to do what 1 had set out to
accomplish." Working with the girls who dance
all the time made her realize that her life is far
better then theirs. She said dancing has also made
her an exhibitionist in a sense. The little bit of
Thedra that she keeps inside of her is an
exhibitionist. She feels comfortable being a little
more risque. "It's not that big of a deal anymore;
a lot of people I don't know and don't care about
have seen me naked." Vanessa said that she was
always an exhibitionist, we all are a little bit, and
dancing has brought that out more in myself."
"I think it's really important that people
know that most ofthe dancers are single mothers
who just need to pay the bills. They call home
halfWay during their shift to see if their kids are
safe. They don't just do this because it makes
good money; they have to degrade themselves
to pay the bills. \ don't think anyone has any right
to judge them for what they do without knowing
all the facts."
Vanessa found the name Thedra in a baby
book. Thedra is the Greek goddess ofthe sun. "I
liked it because I need to reach for something
higher then what that place offers. 1 picked a
name that was above what goes on in that place.
I was a goddess there, that's what I tried to keep
in my mind there,l was a goddess and Iwas doing
what needed to be done. Or else our society was
going to crumble and chaos was going to reign."

found on toy shelves," explains Jeremiah Miller
ofWashPIRG. The report states that at least
five toys violate the Consumer Product Safety
Commission's (CPS C) small parts standard
design to prevent choking. Four other toys
violate the CPSC's new small ball regulations.
"Balloons are the leading choking killer,"
states Miller. Other toys to watch out for? Any
toy containing phthalates, which are toxic
chemicals added to some plastics as a softener.
These chemicals are linked to liver and kidney
damage as well as other health hazards, and
can be found in products such as children's nail
polish, and teething rings. Also watch for toys
that make loud noises which may damage
young children's hearing. Any toys with small
parts should also be watched for potential
choking hazards.

Costantino on bimonthly paychecks
On Nov. 18, I and other staff members of
the college attended a meeting organized by
the Union of Student Workers. We had been
invited to the meeting to discuss the feasibility
of implementing a semi-monthly paycheck for
student employees. Staff in the Office of
Financial Aid and a staff member in the Office
of the Vice President for Student Affairs had
compiled information that they intended to
present in the hope of better informing all
those in attendance. If you were in attendance,
you know that we did not have an opportunity
to share this information. During the meeting,
I was presented with demands to implement a
semi-monthly paycheck for student employees.
The purpose of this letter is to explain why [
refused and what steps we have been taking to
review this and related student employment
issues.
[ first learned of student interest in
receiving semi·monthly paychecks last year.
My initial reaction was to be supportive of the
idea. As I learned more about the issue, I found
it to be more complex than [ had originally
imagined. I learned that implementation of a
semi-monthly check would be costly. For
instance , the cost of implementing the
proposal forwarded by the Union of Student
Workers is about $95,000 a year. To
implement the proposed change the college
would have to cut other services or cover the
additional costs through tuition or fee
increases. It is worth remembering that
$95,000 is a sizable amount of money. For
example, it equates to more than the cost of
two new faculty hires, two Financial Aid
counselors, or the average yearly salary of 40
student workers paid from institutional funds.
Given the cost of the proposed change, [
believe it is my responsibility to assess exactly
how students are being affected by monthly
paychecks, how many students are being
affected, what assistance the Financial Aid
office can offer to students who have cash flow
problems, and what the budget projections are
for the college. [t is worth noting some of what
I learned . Analysis of this past fall's pay
schedule indicates that of the 511 student
employees paid by institutional sources, fewer
than 28 percent waited more than a month for
their first paychecks. Staff in the Financial Aid
office report that the majority of student
workers who receive financial aid were given a
check for living expenses and that emergency
loans are available for student employees who
have short term cash flow problems.
Emergency loans are financed from your
Student Activities fees, can be processed in a
day or two, and are interest free. This fall, I
tried to examine some individual cases in
which students /were not able to meet their
living expenses. While individual situations
varied greatly, in most cases [ did not conclude
that the schedule of payments would have
alleviated the students' difficulties. During the
fall, a number of other student employment
issues emerged which may prove to be more
important than the pay schedule. Given what
I learned about the cost and other factors, I
could not promise to implement the semi·
monthly pay schedule without further study
and discussion.
[ am in the process of convening a
Student Employment Disappearing Task Force
(DTF). The DTF will be composed of faculty,
staff, and a healthy representation of students.
The group will be asked to make
recommendations on a range of student
employment issues. Before Thanksgiving
break I met with students who were interested
in the formation ofthis DTF, and we identified
issues the DTF should consider. The DTF will
be asked to find ways in which the college can
affirm the value of student employment.
Members of the DTF will be asked to consider
whether the college can develop more off·
campus work-study jobs, better advertising for
existing positions, and comparable pay for
students who do similar work. A state
minimum wage increase was approved by
voters th is past November, but we do not
anticipate that the state will give us additional
funds to cover this increase. Obviously this
may result in our inability to limd the same
number of student employees. [am asking the
DTF to consider this problem. The DTF will
also consider the payment schedule of student
employees. These and other student
employment issues will part of the DTF's
charge. It is my hope that the DTF can
complete its work by the end of the academic
year.
The work of a Disappearing Task Force
involves collection of input from the entire
campus, careful analysis of problems and their
possible solutions. DTF's have long been
recognized on campus as a the best method for
examining complex and interrelated issues.
Currently there is a DTF on faculty salaries and
a DTF on Service Learning. [n an environment
in which it is impossible to fund every good
idea, DTF's can play an important role in
establishing priorities. Last year, I proposed
the creation of a Student Employment DTF to
members of the Union of Student Workers.
They were not interested in participating in a
DTF unless [ could guarantee that the DTF
would implement semi·monthly paychecks.
Such a promise would have unfairly tied the
hands of a DTF and would have established
priorities before the DTF's deliberations. [
could not then, nor can [now, predict what a
DTF will conclude, but I believe that a DTF is
the best way to proceed.

[ attended the Union of Student Workers
public meeting with administrators on
0.'ovember 18th and came away impressed with
the organizational efforts of the USW. but less
impressed with their tactics.
For one thing, we students must be very
careful about how we ask for things from the
administration. [ was heavily involved with
student government at myoId school. and the
perpetual stereotype we faced from
administrators on every level was that studenls
were whiny, spo il ed . dumb kids. [t was
dishear tening then to hear the USVI'
representatives "demand" biweekly paychecks
for students workers. [ don't wallt an y excuse
for th at stereotype to be reinforcrd. so it
seemed to me like presenting a list of demands
was aCl in g a bit lik e three -year-o lds in a
supermarket. It doesn't matter ifwc're asking
for biweekly paychecks or a trip to th e moon
- future nego tiation s with administration
~hou ld be more careful to avoid th at
impression.
The other thing I didn't see presented to
the administration was how they benefited by
giving students biweekly paychecks. [ don't
think they care if we can buy our books or pay
our rent as long as our tuition checks come on
time. The plan we presented them certainly
was no small potatoes. Me, [ expected twenty
students to stand lip and explain why they
needed the hours and how they would process
I he extra paychecks every two weeks, but what
do [ know? The idea was very clever - kinda
like comb inin g Payroll and Career
Development-but what does the
administration get out of this kind of
restructuring?
Until they figure out all the nitty-gritty
details, we students certainly can't demand one
administrator sign a commitment to
spontaneously restructure the school. just
imagine ifit was a different situation-say, the
arming of security guards on campus. When
Art Costantino said "We need more dialogue."
[ think he was trying to say. "Right. okay. [
know what biweekly paychecks are gonna do
for you, but what's it go nna 'do for me except
shrink my budget and make my job harder?"
Until we can answer th at question. th e
administration is going to keep digging its
heels.
We ~tudents have got to figure out what
THEY stand to gain from US giving biweekly
paychecks, and then repeat il until their ears
bleed. Yup, it's appeasement, but we students
have got to get past the foot·stomping stage so
the administrators will get past the heeldragging. [want to get paid twice a month, and
I'm a senior, dammit! [ also don't want
Evergreen to earn $2 off the Emergency Loan
it took for me to buy groceries. books, and pay
the bills on time, but well, that's a minor point.
Yes yes yes. [am a student first , but [also have
to live, and [ think the administration doesn't
realize it's rough to live with dignity when you
only have cash once a month .
So, write letters to Mr. Costantino. LIB

YOU get paid twice a month. Be sure and leave
a copy in the USW officc too.

December 3, 1998
While a number of student jobs in
Housing are still in a state oflimbo, the future
of student employment in general at this
college may have gotten a little bit brighter on
Nov. 20. As a member of the Student Labor
Action Committee, SLAC, formed solely of
student workers who work in Housing, [ have
been part of a very productive process tha t
might very well go a long way toward
improving student jobs in a number of ways.
Back in August of this year we found o\lt
that 30 student jobs were potentially
threatened by actions of the Union-not the
Union of Student Workers-of full· time
facilities workers on upper campus. We were
initially very disheartened by this news, but we
rapidly rallied together. organizing in an
attempt to save not only jobs, but a wonderful
wealth of opportunities provided by a strong
student-run program. We engaged in an
ongoing dialogue with the Union, full-time
staff in Housing, and the administration on
upper campus. In discussions with the upper
campus administration, we noticed that a
number of the issues we were talking about
transcended the concerns we had about
Housing jobs and effectually related to all
student jobs.
This transcendence is what led to the
exciting event that occurred on Nov. 20. Five
members ofSLAC met with Art Costantino to
set up the charge for a DisappearingTask Force
that is going to explore a number of student
employment issues and ultimately make
recommendations to the college. Among the
issues in the charter will be bi·monthly
I
paychecks, a student·employment office, cost
of living increases, raises, the importance of
student work to the college and academic value
in student employment. While this action is
not necessarily going to affect the tomorrow
of student jobs in Housing, it will undoubtedly
have positive effects on all student
employment. The DTF will consist of 13
members, five of whom will be students. The
student composition of the committee will
ideally be two students from SLAC, one
student from the USW, and two students from
the college population at large.
Any student interested in being on the
DTF that will discuss student employment
shou ld pick up an application from Art
Costantino's office ASAP. His office is on the
third floor of the Library building, L3236. The
Satire should be made clear
I recently stumbled across an issue of The
Spokesperson, the newsletter printed by the
Fictional Sociology Class. The class is studying
satire, and the newsletter is their pathetic
attempt to follow Evergreen's Belief #5, that
active learn in g is better than passively
receiving knowledge. [ read in last week's CPj
that the CPj editors wouldn't print the articles
in The Spoke~persol1. [ would like to thank the
CPj for /Jot printin g the articles in The
Spo kesp erson. Personally, I found th e
newsletter to be shoc king, disturbing. and
offensi ve. Rather than wril e a long diatribe
expla in ing why [ think the n ew~ l e tter was
offensive. [would like to simply quote the parts
that offended me, the exact words from the
horse's mouth. [ quote the consumers and
faculty in Fictional Sociology, from the article
"New Policy Helps Victims and Low SelfEsteemers" .
Students in Fictiollal Sociology
experjenced, first hand, the useful effects ofa
new, helpful coJlege policy. Administered by
Rey Slovar, Assistant Vice President for
Consumer Relations, the policy requires
administrative review of classroom material
that might adversely affect self-identified
victims and those sufferiIlg from low selfesteem.
Under the policy, faculty members must
submit to Slovar aJl handouts and films that
might have a negative effect on the "target
groups. " Due to "academic freedom" the
administration cannot tell a faculty member
not to use material he or she thinks is
"educational" but the administration can
suggest that the material be accompanied by
an Immunizing Declaration. a sta tement
designed toattenllale the negative effects ofthe
material...
Thc' policy was inslilllted last year
because more and more sludenls are selfidenlified I'iclims and inlake scores (ro/ll
Admissions were shol1'int! j decrea.~(' in
average self esteem scores (or en tering
fJesilmen . Ouc (a cility member in th e arts has
beelJ asking his slud('nls how many are I'iclims.
Tell years ago. only 20% o( the sludenls were
victims. When his lally reached 80X tll'Oyears
the college decided it had to act. This policy is
the first step in a long·term initiative to protect
victims and those predisposed to low selfesteem.
Asked ifhf' thought the policy was agood
one [Bill) Arney replied, "Sure. Anything that
helps a student remain who he or she is in
response to our educational material is good.
ProtectiIlg students from the negative effects
ofteaching is one functioIl ofa goo.d college...
StudeIlts will see the effects ofthis poliq
more and more often in their classes. If your
faculty member doesn't know about the policy
and subjects victims of low esteemers to
negative material (and doesn't accompany the
material with an immuIlizing DocumenO, a
gentle reminder can go a long way to
improving communication and bllilding
community. If that doesn 't work. consumers
should file a Formal Grievance. "We're trying
education around this place but enforcement
seems to be more effective, " said the college
Gri('vJnce Officer.
This article was so offensive to me
heca use it pllrported to be satire. As a writing
tutor, [ am familiar with the legal definitions
of llIany literary forms. including satire.
This article, while attemptillg to be satire.
does not fli the Supreme Courl's definition of
sa tire in that it cannot be distinguished by a
"reasonable reader" to d ea rl y be satire. The
article is too realistic. and therefore is not
satire. and [ personally am glad th at the CPj
held the article from publication.
Sarah Brown
Editor's note
The CPJ did not reject outright the articles
that were later printed in The
Spokesperson. We were holding them for
further discussion. Our holding the articles
for a later publication date was not because
the articles were satirical, but because the
authors wanted to run the fictional articles
as news.
Three cheers for the editors
Dear Editor,
You and your editorial staff are doing a
terrific job. What a grand paper! A paper we
can (the evergreen community) all be proud of
You guys, as journalists and editors constantly
blow me away with your cutting edge
reporting, your riveting features, your
commitment to covering real issues and of
course, your commitment to providing a
platform for minority groups and victims from
all walks oflife to tell their stories and lament
their lot. Thursday is my favorite day of the
week.
I know that the editorial staff at the c.P.j.
are modest creatures, therefore unwilling to
draw attention to themselves or to blow their
own horns but there are times, I think, when
good folks should be made to stand up and take
a bow for what they're doing. I think you guys
know what I'm talking about and I know that
you really don't want to talk about it but here I
am letting the cat out ofthe bag; sorry.
Most of the Evergreen community is
totally unaware of the heroic work you have
been doing on their behalf over the past month
or so. We as a group have been asleep while
you and your staff have maintained a vigilant
watch over our paper and perhaps (excuse me
if [ am being too dramatic here) our school as
we know it. [ know how much time you have
devoted, the energy you have given, how
untiring your search for the moral and ethical
high ground has been in this affair that I am
referring to. If I seem like the lone voice of
appreciation here it is only because the
community at large is unaware as to what you
have been saving them from .
It was clear from the very start that the
faculty from Fictional Sociology was out of
control. They were honing the weapons of wit,
satire and general shit-stirring well before the
quarter started; if you had bothered to check
out the three of them at last year's academic
fair, holding court at table 39 like some sort of
self-indulgent , cryptic leftovers from the
counterculture, you would have seen,like I did,
the writing on the board. I have taken it upon
myself to personally interview and debrief
some 15 members of the Fictional Sociology
class and in every case, these students offered
similar if not the same dogmatic statements
and answers to my questions, leading me to
deduce: the faculty (Rideout, Pailthorp and
Arney) are in fact covertly attempting to
overthrow and corrupt the thinking of their
class and through the class, our school. When
I asked these students to see examples of their
work, [ was shown nude and semi·nude
photographs of women as young as 18
wrapped in duct-tape, digitally altered
the Cooper Point Journal
photographs of the president of the United
States in offensive and totally unrealistic
positions, a young and obviously sexy Korean
girl being crucified, posters and digital material
that not only depicted but seemed to belittle
S.R.A.(satanic ritual abuse) and finally, one
group that was working solely on the subject
of human excreta.
You don't have to be the Provost to realize
that there is a problem, yet thanks to you and
your ever vigilant staff the Provost has come
to this realization. Thanks to your vigilance and
determination to "keep the paper safe" these
bad apples might get thrown out ofthe barrel.
I think it is time that the c.P.j .let the evergreen
community know what it has been up against,
the steps it has had to take to ensure its safety
and the legal action you are contemplating. It's
time we all woke upl Perhaps if you make your
fight public you can help avert this cult·like
slavish homage that some misguided students
feel bound to offer this most dangerous trio.
Even if you decide not to tell the story of your
determination to "keep the paper safe" please
keep up the good work. We, the serious
students, faculty and staff at Evergreen are
counting on you.

reason for this urgency is another bit of good
news. The timeline for the DTF is for it to make
its recommendations by june of1999. In order
for this to happen, it is imperative that the
committee be selected and ready to begin work
by the beginning of winter quarter. [f you truly
care about student employment and are ready
to commit to the process, [ urge you to get

that Leos need, it's friends, so don't lei them
slip away.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Please, Scorpio, stop clinging
to the past and worrying about
things that you cannot change.
Move on, and accept that you may not have
made Ihe best dec isions before . In the
immortal words of]ack Handey, "If you ever
drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let
'em go, because, mall, they're gone." So, let
some things go or you might get yourself
burned.

This week's moral:
Whenever you get the notion to go out late at night
and harass donkeys, think
twice, cause you never
know when a giant donkey
wearing a hat will break into
your home and sit on you,
thus leaving you disgruntled
for the rest of your day and!
or week.
7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Public
Presentation about
sweatshops and child labor.
All are encouraged to come.
