Housing Mods
burgled
by Kevin Moore
Staff writer
The [aI/owing article is written by a victim o[the crime it
details. At certain times it is in the first person narrative. This
is a hard news story though; therefore, the author's opinions
are absent but his perceptions are not.

This year, every student has an Evergreen e-mail account,
and even students who never intend to use it are encouraged
by the computer center to change their passwords as soon as
possible for security reasons. The program which assigns
passwords, McGee explained, relies on a simple code so
students have little trouble figuring out their passwords for
themselves. It also, however, makes the code easier to break.
"If someone does discover your password," McGee wrote
in an all-campus letter, "it is easy for them to pretend that they
are you. They can send e-mail in yo ur name, or use off-campus
resources in your name. This can cause you needless
inconvenience, ego explaining to fellow students that you did
not send them obscene e-mail messages."

On Thursday, Oct. 29, at 5:28 a.m ., Po lice Services
received a phone call from a resident in the Mods. The caller
reported a break-in and Oft1cer Neely was sent almost
immediately. Upon pulling into the parking lot, Officer Neely
received a dispatch informing him af another complaint from
the Mods. This call took place at 5:30 a.m. and was of the same
nature. Neely went directly to the second victim's location. At
5:38 a.m., I called Police Services from A dorm with the same
problem. In the midst of this mayhem RA's were informed.
The RA's began a search for the perpetrator who was described
as wearing a black ski mask. As it now stands, Police Services
is aware of seven residences that were invaded Thursday
morning and five people who actually saw the assailant.
The "burglar" managed to attain about $500 and a few
cigarettes from the seven houses he compromised. He
surpassed valuable items such as televisions and VCRs, radios,
CDs, mountain bikes, microwaves, etc. Instead, this person
was interested in cash. A candle and sunglasses were found
that are believed to have belonged to the perpetrator. Witnesses
also saw him using a lighter \0 search desktops and dark spots.
The perpetrator remained very calm and didn't even
bother running away in most instances. He told one victim
when she saw him, "Sorry, wrong room" through his ski mask
and walked out of the room. He apologized to another victim
while hanging half in and half Ollt of her kitchen window
wearing his mask, then walked into the shadows. In another
encounter with a resident it took a fight to flee. The assailant
punched the resident in the face, leaving a black eye. Then the
two men struggled and exchanged punches. The burglar lifted
a chair over his head and the resident backed away allowing
the sllspect to run away. The last person he woke up who didn't
recognize him was me. I chased this person through B dorm,
and outside to the woods where he informed me, 'Tm fucking
armed," when I could no longer see him.
In talking with victims the reaction is overwhelmingly one
of surprise. This surprise is magnified when victims are not
only first year Greeners but first year college students, too.
However, even if they have spent some time in college, this isn't
something they're used to or that they saw coming. One student
said, "We were all naive college students. If we were in the big
city we'd have locked our doors." She lost $80 on Thursday
morning and never saw the burglar. Another roommate of a
girl who saw the assailant said, "You have to remember the real
world touches Evergreen. We're not this peaceful bubble on
earth. "
One of the most moving conversations was with a victim
who woke to see the perpetrator's masked face looking directly
at her unmasked and completely defenseless one. She sat up
in bed and screamed. Shortly thereafter, he walked out the front
door after coming in through a window, and left them both
ajar. She described "how in a moment, I could've been dead."

E-mail hacker invades
student privacy
57 student e-mails compromised
by Jennifer Lauren
Staff writer
The Academic Computing staff is in the process of
contacting 57 students whose assigned e-mail passwords have
been discovered. On Oct. 23, a technician found a program
running in the ACC (Advanced Computing Classroom), that
could break the code used in assigning passwords and store
obta ined passwords in a sepa rate file. The program was
immediately shut down and the files erased.
"We're reasonably confident that no data was actually
returned [to the person who wrote the program] because we
got to it first," said Anna Kircher, the directer of Computers
and Communication.
According to John McGee, a computer consultant here,
none of the e-mail accoun'ts have been logged onto since the
passwords were discovered. The passwords have also been
changed, which is why it is important that eath student is
contacted.

Hellcatz play big, notch first win
Lady Geoducks looking up
by Gretchen Pedersen
Contributing writer
"Outlet, Outlet! " If you hang around the
gym during the Lady Geoducks practice this
yea r, you'll probably hear those words a lot ,
and if things go the way that second-year coach
Rick Harden hopes, those intense first words
will be followed by the sweet sound of th e
leather ball skimming the nylon net. This year
the Lady Geoducks will be a force to be
reckoned with . Building on last year's team,
Harden has brought in new recruits that will
build on the positives of last year's team,
namely work ethic and attitude while trying
to add depth and experience. With only two
players returning from last year's team , th e
Geo ducks have brought in a wealth of
co mmunity college and freshman talent to
help fulfill Harden's expectations.
After last year's disappointing one-win
seaso n, the Lady Geoducks have some
ground to make up and they know it. "We
will definitely be a lot stronger and add 'a lot
of depth," Harden said. adding that last years
team, despite working really hard "were way
out of their league in the challenging PNWAC
conference, playing three teams that made it
to the Sweet Sixteen in the National
Tournament. " Make no mistake about it;
they realize they have an uphill battle, but
Harden already credits this team with the
amount of intensity and desire they have
shown. Harden also sees this year's team as
a "true team." Due to the fact that they have
only nine players, they will need to rely on
and trust in each other heavily. Harden
worked hard in his recruiting efforts to find
team-oriented, unselfish women. What he
has come up with is a lot of talent, and more
importantly a lot of positive attitude and
effort.
Harden has many ideas about what will
make this team successful, and one of these
is the fast break. Harden has brought in
talent that can run the fast break, beginning
with Shoreline Community College transfer
and lightning-quick point guard, Jen May.
Also sharing the almighty point guard
position will be former diver Sara Lampo,
who has turned in her swimsuit for high tops
and is making the adjustment well.
Most likely, Jen and Sara will try and get
the ball into the hands ofCentralia Community
College transfer Erin McLeod at wing or
returning post/forward Alex Dagnon , both
from Mossyrock High School. Both have been
touched by the wand of the esteemed
"Mossyrock Passing Goddess," who gifts these
women with innate passing ability and

unmatched court vision (with the exception of
maybe Magic Johnson). McLeod also offers a
great 10-foot shot that she is, admittedly, a little
modest about. However, Harden is hopeful
that by the end of the season he ca n encourage
Erin to become more selfish in taking her shot.
Harden looks to Alex Dagnon as one of his
most versatile players on the Geoduck squad
this year. She is an asset almost anywhere on
the floor and her shot is high percentage no

matter where she launches it from. Harden
also will look to Alex as one of the leaders of
the team which she seems natural at with her
strong sense of team.
The scoring tenacity of returning
forward, Heidi Haynes, who also offers great
moves in the post will compliment the fast
paced game. Harden believes that Heidi's
returning status will be important to this team
which will look to her for leadership. Six-foot

Tacoma Community College transfer Chrissy
Voyles will also be a scoring threat from the
inside and outside. Harden is quick to point
out that what makes Chrissy an asset is her
ability to shoot and drive left as well as righthanded , which nowadays is a lost art. Lower
Columbia College transfer Gretchen Pedersen
will offer quick cuts to the basket as well as long
range shooting. Six-foot freshman Cora Vestel,
considered the only "true" post on the team, is
offering toughness inside and a welcome shot
blocking ability. Rounding out the roster is
sophomore lefty Rebecca Henrie, who is
showing signs of improvement after a year off
of the hardwood.
The fast break is definitely great, but
Coach Harden is not so naive as to believe that
the fast break will always be an option and
for that reason he has found offenses which
will accentuate the Geoducks' strengths,
which are height, passing ability, and off-theball cutting. Granted, the Geoducks have no
real "big woman." However, their height
strength comes from having wings and
forwards all within the 5'9" - 6'0" range. The
offenses Harden has chosen allow for
versatility inside and out. Harden has at least
3 girls on the floor at all times that can post
up and make moves on the inside as well as
shoot from the outside. These tall girls are
not awkward tall women who can't dribble
and pass, they are strong, athletic women
who can drive but also can drain the three,
and have excellent passing abilities.
Defensively, Harden wants to manipulate
teams' weaknesses which he primarily sees as
discipline. Geoduck defense is not "in your
face" pressure; rather, it's a defense that plugs
up the middle to prevent the high percentage
shots within the pilint. Many teams have
trouble working the ball around 20-25
seconds until they get a good shot off. The
teams the Geoducks play will hopefully get
flustered with the lack ofoptions on the inside
and thus will be forced to shoot a lower
- percentage shot from beyond the arc or take
a pressured shot inside.
These ladies will be intense and exciting
to watch this year. They haven't quite gotten
their slam dUl)k play down just yet, but will
guarantee a fast paced game that will leave you
wanting more. So come check them out at the
Basketball Exhibition on November 12 at 6
p.m. and they will show their stuff. And ifthe
unlimited basketball entertainment isn't
enough for you, there's free hot dogs, pop and
popcorn . If you miss the preview, come out
for their home opener on November 20th @ 7
p.m. vs. Pacific University. PS: Drums always

This past Saturday, what was Halloween for most, was a
day of battle and victory for 18 of Evergreen's finest. At 1:00
p.m., the Evergreen Hellcatz met on a sodden field to show
Southern Oregon University(SOU) their rugby might. SOU was
unable to bring its full team, so the game was "tens" instead of
being played by the usual 15 pLayers. Despite an initial try by
SOU, the Hellcatz came into the game full force . Taking the
ball up the weak side, using quick passing and their innate
speed, the Hellcatz brought the score back to their favor. Those
who scored for Evergreen were Erin McLeod (two tries), Andrea
Taubman (another two tries), Lia Gilbert-Bardeen, and Mollie
Caka . Evergreen was also strong on defense, coming with hard
tackles while driving the SOU team back. Despite a few injuries,
the Evergreen Hellcatz emerged whole and happy with their
first win of the season, a solid 32-10. Thanks to everyone who
came out to show their support!

Mighty 'Ducks
tumble in
season finale

Hellcatz team member Andrea Taubman(center,

the Southern Oregon attack. Judging from the
final score, we at the CP J are of the mind that she
was successful.

It has been said that the soccer fan must
become accustomed to failure . This is th e
contract understood by anyone who wishes to
follow the sport and their favorites ·within it.
The fact that a team can work through eleven
highly-t rained athletes and knock a small ball
through a twenty-four foot plane is
remarkable.
The Lady 'Greeners normally attract
buried sunshine every time they play.
Moments before the game there could be a
hurricane; the second they step onto the field ,
the clouds clear. However, their last game of
the season against the Central Washington
University Lady Hellcats on October 31st
would not break the day's deluge. The Lady
Hellcats, sporting very professional uniforms,
were aU too much in the second half for our
mighty 'Ducks resulting in two weak goals and
a2-0win.
The first half was primarily Evergreen's.
With the outstanding defensive back three of
Brooke Fredrickson, Amy Esner, and Caryn
Vincent, the Hellcats had a tough first half
attempting to break down the always solid
defense. The glorious defense ofCWU's attacks
lead to brilliant counterattacks lead by 'Ducks
midfielders Stacy Kaplan,Jamie Pillemuth, and
Gretchen Pederson . The 'Greener offense
managed their best chance of the day in the
30th minute when Pederson sent a shot just
wide right of the sticks. Moments later,
forward Britt Olson pounded a shot barely over
the hands ofCWU's goalkeeper. But,alas,lady
luck would not smile upon our heroines.

Student workers feel left out of the loop
About two weeks ago I heard that the
Upper Campus Union felt that they were being
unfairly portrayed by a few letters and articles
ill the CPJ. It is critical that everyone involved
in this issue is well informed. So, I am now
going to present an important series of events
that make up the bulk of the student
perspective on this issue. The basic gist of it all
is that we feel like we have repeatedly been left
out ofthe loop and that we are not being taken
very seriously by the Union Management
Team.

August 19, 1998: Student workers in
housing informed that their jobs might be in
jeopardy. We are told that the Union
Management Team (UMT) is interested in
analyzing our job descriptions and that, if our
jobs fit classified job descriptions, we could lose
them. The Union did not make any efforts to
speak to us about their inquiry. Mike Segawa

in Housing supported the idea of student
representation at the UMT meetings. At this
point in time we began to organize, forming a
committee of student workers and selecting
representatives in an effort to save our jobs.

September 14: A few of us attend what
we think is a UMT meeting. We were not
formally invited, but when we arrived everyone
acted like we were welcome. We were not
informed that we were actually meeting with a
subcommittee until week four. At this point
they brought up the idea that it is illegal for
students to supplant classified workers. At this
point they told us that they ensure our
attendance at all UMT discussions of our jobs,
but they failed to follow through. They had a
meeting on Sept. 24 that we were not invited
to. Later in the week we did research and found
that the chapter of law they were citing dealt
solely with work-study students. This was very

perplexing to us as we are generally not work~tudy studen ts.

October 20: We ask them why they cited
only the work study chapter of the law. They
then stated that the laws in that chapter were
not the only applicable laws. They began to
cite different laws from the Student
Employment Handbook For Supervisors
(SEHFS) and the Student Temporary Employee
Packet (STEP). The SEHFS had particularly
interesting advice for "a legal document" in
regards to students supplanting full-time
workers: "It's just plain mean. Don't do it"
(page 7).
October 22: We attend our first oflicial
UMT meeting with the full management team
in attendance. Before the meeting we were told
that they would likely only be discussing
student work in Housing for one or two

minutes, and that we could come if we wanted
to, but that it likely would not be worth our
time. The group discussed our issue for over
an hour. At this meeting they cited additional
laws that we had not previously been informed
of, those in chapter 41 of the RCW.
At the end of the fifth week we have not

had any further interaction with the Union in
regard to the inquiry into student jobs in
Housing. We would like to be a part of the
ongoing inquiry. We do not wish to continue
in this process as an adversary to the Union.
We do ask the Union and the administration
in general to be honest with us to ensure a
relative equality in the remaining chapters of
this inquiry.
Joe Groshong, representing the Housing
Student Worker Committee.

Why feminists ought to care about Monica
~A)CE: ~
CoM"Lll1~NrAft.Y ,
by Sarah Manvel

The Monica Lewinsky scandal is as
important to American women as the ERA, but
no one will say the real reason why. This is not
about the Republican agenda, or how low can
we go. It's about women.
The mainstream feminist organizations
have been busting their ovaries trying to get
women accepted into patriarchal society.
When their favorite 01' boy is accused of
sexually harassing working-class women, what
do they have to say to him? Not a damn thingl
They've been so busy trying to pretend that
they've got equality that they don't think, and
don't want to think, about those women who
clearly don't. "Feminists" are not about to
condemn the first president who let them go
on pretending.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is really torn
. right now. She likes to pretend she's above all
these petty distinctions, but when her husband
can't keep it in his pants, who's she supposed
to blame? If she blames Clinton, she might find
out where her place really is, or that maybe
they're not equal! So she blames "little" women

like Paula Jones for leading him astray;
Rodham Clinton, who's not 'some Tammy
Wynette' standing by her man. And since she
chose to be in that "equal partnership," and as
long as he doesn't embarrass her friends, then
who cares what he gets on the side?
But one thing about Paula Jones: the
reason she's pressed her lawsuit so long is
because she's got a husband furious that any
other man would dare treat his woman this
way. Never mind that they hadn't met at the
time, she was a virgin on her wedding night,
or someone's gotta pay. (And so what ifshe just
got a check for a million dollars? If I could get
a million dollars somehow from all the bad shit
that's happened to me, that check would clear
faster than the speed oflight.)
Think about it. If Mr. Steve Jones wasn't
so mad, none of this would have reached the
light of day. Because someone defiled his
possession, he's out for blood. That's right,
possession. Paula Jones wasn't another man's
possession when Clinton harassed her, so he

Hey EPIC lay
off Jesus
Why does EPIC have to be so damn mean
to Jesus?
I just got my copy of EPIC's
Disorientation Manual and I can't believe
EPIC's attempt to create a blacklist of local
businesses based on their Christian affiliations.
(See EPIC's Disorientation Manual p.6)
Jesus lived and taught all kinds of good
stuff while he was alive (See "The New
Testament. ")
EPIC, how dare you? You would never
publish a blatantly anti-Jewish, anti-Buddhist
or anti-Islamic shopper's guide, would you? I
would certainly hope not. So stop picking on

Jesus and the local businesses who step on your
Christian-hating toes by advertising with the
little fish in the yellow pages.
Also, what do you hate so much about the
Promise Keepers? They're just a bunch ofguys
who are trying to establish a moral code for
themselves (hmm ... strikingly similar to the
Million Man marchers?) They may be
misguided, but at least they're trying to take
some personal responsibility.
So please put an end to your unprovoked
overzealous anti-Jesus witch hunt.

possessions. Steve Jones might be getting his
wife justice, but if she wasn't his wife, would
he give a damn? And because Rodham Clinton

he thinks they're equal. It's been hard for her,
for all 'feminists,' to realize that if they want to
keep their equality, they'd better shut up about

the "trailer trash" in this world. And it's pretty
disgusting that the general consensus seems to
be, leave Monica at "the bitch gives great

LETTERS AND OPINIONS

Hate is un-Christian
As a former student of The Evergreen
State Coll~ge and as an Evangelical Christian, I
can say With all conviction and sincerity that
the de~picable killing of Matthew Shepard was
a terrIble atrocity. Killing someone simply
because they are gay is wrong, wrong, wrong
and FLAT WRONGI There is no excuse for it
and no one calling themselves a Christian ha~
a~~ right to say they are doing God's work by
killing
f G dMr. Shepard. It's not found in the Word
o 0 , no matter where you look.
In the first place, anyone who takes the
time to look will see that in John 8:1-11, Jesus
doesn't condemn the adulterous woman the
Pharisees brought before Him, probably
expecting Him to condemn her. Just the fact
that He didn't condemn her is reason enough
for Christians not to harass, berate, and
certainly not kill gays, lesbians, prostitutes, or
anyone else.
Crimes s~ch as the death of this young
man 111 Wyom1l1g only make Christians look
even wO.rse to non. -Christians than they already
do, and It makes It harder for people like myself
to share the Gospel with non-Christians when
events like this happen. My heart truly goes out
to Shepard's family and friends, whether they
are Christians or not, and I pray that other
Christians out there will get down on their
knees and pray. We need to be praying for
EVERYONE in these last days.
Most disturbing of all is the fact that this

incident will only create more distance
between Christians and non-Christians. While
I was at Evergreen, I knew a lot Qf gay people
and even now, as a Christian,l still count them
as close friends and would never want to see
them harmed, harassed, or mistreated in any
way, and certainly never killed. One of them
was a very close friend of mine indeed. I think
it's time and past time for Christians
everyw here to stop and take a look at how they
treat those who are not Christians. Christian
teens have the right idea in the question posed
by the bracelets they wearthatask "what would
Jesus do?" That's how we need to model
ourselves and that's the litmus test we need to
use for our lives and how we treat one another.
John 13:34-35: Jesus said, "A new
commandment I give you, that you love one
another as I have loved you, that you also love
h
one anot ~r. ~Y this all men will know that you
are My diSCIples, if you have love for one
another."
Jesus wasn 't Just
. ta lk ing about Christians
loving one another; He was also talking about
our attitude towards non-Christians so that
non-Christians know that God loves them, too.
That's my challenge to my fellow Christians out
there-to try and live out this commandment
and to let others see Jesus in you.
God bless,

HCC's musical ballyhoo as seen through young Jimmy's eyes

No Shirt. No Shoes- No Service
There are some congratulations in order. This is the first
(and probably last) time that this particular group of people
has played together for the public, and they still held together
in lots of ways. This is also the largest crowd that No Shirt, No
Shoes- No Service (formerly Somni Loquay) has played for,
numbering somewhere around 40 people. They played songs
that they had only had a couple of days to learn , yet they all
seemed to know where the breaks and transitions were . Good
job!
The sound lady seemed to think that they were too loud.
Their extremely high volume was leading to difficulties with
getting enough vocals and causing disruptions in the pizza place
for taking phone orders. I must admit that my ears were ringing
by the second song, and it \vas extremely difficult to hear the
lyrics, but it was so cool to witness the Housing Community
Center being pumped so hard. I'm wondering if the crowd
liked it. Most of us seemed to be associates of the band
members.
The music they played could roar out with fury with
distortion and crashes, or it could be up in the clouds with nicesounding major scales. Some things common with all of their
songs was there would be at least part, if not all, that would be

played hard. The drums would smash, crash and bash, usually
in time, and usually very fast. Their transitions would be clean.

Valek vants to
suck your blood wanted
Thomas Ian Griffith plays the infamous Valek, a 600-year-old vampire
seeking omnipotence from an implement of ritual known as the BerziErs
Cross in John Carpenter's Vampires.

Show Slightly West
what you've got
byTommy Kilduff
Slightly West co-editor

by Jen Blackford
Staff writer

A naked woman tied to a bed ... a priest
getting beat up in the desert...a man dragged
out screaming to his death in the sun. This is
just a sample of the disturbing images in John
Carpenter's Vampires, a movie which
completely offends my sensibilities but still
manages to deliver a visceral thrill that leaves
one feeling morally corrupt and yet slightly
stimulated.
Vampires follows a long line of recent
~hoot- em-up vampire flicks, like From Dusk
Til Dawn and Blade. It has a loud soundtrack,
rIvers of blood, and enough weapons to stock
dn armory. A team of vampire slayers.
,anctioned by the Vatican and led by Jack Crow
(lames Woods) with his assistant Montoya
\ Daniel Baldwin), travels around the
Southwest. While there , they blow away
bloodsuckers while trying to keep the ultimate
master vampire, Valek (Thomas Ian Griffith),
from getting his hands on the Black Cross.
rhings go awry, and at the end. the only ones
who can face Valek down are Crow, Montoya,
a young priest named Adam Guiteau (Tim
Guinee), and Katrina (Sheryl Lee), a prostitute
who survives a vampire bloodbath at a motel
ironically named the Sun-God. Still. they are a
heavily armed band.
(t's interesting that the issue of guns on
the Evergreen campus was questioned recently,
because in Vampires, the only ones who do not
use them are the vampires and victims. All the
slayers are armed and use enough bullets in this
movie that the predominant sound you are left
with is that ofa gunshot. Even the young priest,
in the end, uses a shotgun. Those who do not
choose or who are unable to fire-monks,
prostitutes,
and
townspeople-are
annihilated. Weapons are a saving grace and
gun control a sin in Vampires.
Organized religion, namely Catholicism,
is both belittled and praised. On the one hand,
the priests are beaten up, cut, and even
murdered throughout this entire film. On the
other, they are seen as an integral part to the
contrasted. Ultimately, they are as human as

I

vampire slaying equation, being both guides
and a standard against which the vampires are
contrasted. Ultimately, they are as human as
everyone, as capable of secrets, treachery and
assassination as anyone in Vampires.
Indeed, it seems every character in this
movie engage in illegal and immoral actions.
The "good guys" drink heavily, tear apart hQtel
rooms with prostitutes, and make profane and
obscene remarks throughout Vampires. The
priests keep quiet about suppressed mistakes
they have made and pretty much anything of
importance they can think of. The vampires
take the concept of random acts ofdestruction
to its breaking point and beyond. It is almost
impossible at times to determine who's the
hero and who's the villain.
The most disturbing behavior in this film
is the attitude towards women. They are seen
as nothing more than sex objects and victims.
They can be undead killers, but when they are
slain, terms such as "baby" are used as they
explode in the daylight. The only female to get
any outright characterization other thaI!
hooker or vampire is Katrina , who is actually
both in Vampires. She is beaten, tied up,
stripped naked, and vampirized , and at the
end, falls in love with the primary aggressor
against her. It is sickening, demeaning. and
detracts from the thrills one gets at seeing the
vampires staked.
Quite a bit of slaying goes on in this
movie. (fit's not the sight of screaming vampire
corpses you're treated to by the camera, it's
the sight of desperately fleeing humans. One
becomes inured to the sense of death and
violence that permeates this movie. ( realized
during Vampires that I was actually becoming
bored by the scenes of people getting their
heads ripped off by vampires and looked
forward to watching vampires being thrown
against walls and spontaneously combusting.
If you're looking for elements of
Halloween, an earlier Carpenter work, in this
movie, you're in the wrong place. Think of
Escape From L.A. instead and combine it with
a previous vampire Western, Near Dark. What
you'll end up with is Vampires, a movie that
actually makes you ashamed of the thrill you
might get from it.

In Olympia on Oct. 28, Evergreen
president Jane Jervis joined forces with the
presidents of seven other Washington-area
colleges in signing a proclamation to deal with
drinking problems on their campuses.
The conference of the eight preSidents
was organized by Lt. Gov. Brad Owens and
president of Western Washington University,
Karen Morse. They met to sign an agreement
to work towards finding a strategy to reduce
alcohol abuse and its ramifications in violent
behavior on their campuses.
Jervis said that while Evergreen lacks the
the usual binge drinking havens like
fraternities and campus-wide sporting events,
Evergreen is not free from alcohol abuse. The
problems of alcohol abuse manifest
themselves differently here, she said, because
substance abuse is more individualized and
less in large groups; most students show-up to
college with drinking habits already formed.
She is· worried that the amount of

students staying in Alcohol and Drug-Free
Housing has gone down this year after steadily
increasing in the past years. She said that it
used to be that the usual symptoms of alcohol
abuse like slurred speech and vomiting would
cause you to be segregated from the rest. But
students now, she warned, seem to use binge
drinking for relaxation and escape.
Jervis signed the proclamation to join the
"commitment to have both diagnostic and
treatment programs on campuses and to
promote wellness programs". She does not
want to follow suit with Washington State's
campus ban of alcohol which led to campuswide riots last May. Jervis felt that this policy
would only drive students to drink off of
campus, either at off-campus housing or bars.
While Jervis is disquieted by the close
connection between alcohol abuse and violent
behavior, she is hopeful that this proclamation
will succeed in the same manner as the public
relations campaign against drinking and
driving. "Twenty years ago it was hardly
noticed, but it is completely unacceptable
today."

Evergreen student Paula 'Kay
Armstrong died in her home in Longview on
Saturday, Oct. 31.
TESC raised the black flag in memory of
the 49-year-old student and will hold a
ceremony for her friends on Saturday. Nov. 7, at
9 a.m. in Lib. 4004. Memorial services will be
held at the Columbia Funeral Home, llOS Maple
Street, in Longview at 4 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6.

Paula is survived her mother, sister, and
grown son. The family asks that instead of
flowers, memorial contributions be sent to
the Women's Emergency Support Shelter,
Box 877, Longview, WA 98632.
Paula was enrolled in Psychology:
Gender, Culture, Powerand Introduction to

McKernan, Administrative Secretary for the

E-MAILS
COMPROMISED
continued from page 1
Students also have the option, if they
have an e-mail account elsewhere, of having
all mail sent to their Evergreen account
forwarded to their regular account. This is
especially important since faculty and
registrars often use students' email accounts
to give them important information.
According to McGee, the person who
set up the program may not have intended
to actually use the passwords s!he acquired.
But Kircher doesn't share his optimism.

continued from page 1
She went on to further describe her
screaming as an attempt to wake her
roommate, whom she later realized could've
already been dead herself. This was followed
with a concern for general safety on campus
and womens' safety in particular. She was
caught completely unaware, as were all the

"If they are going to go to all the trouble
of making a program ... we have to assume
that they would use them. It's the only
responsible assumption to make ... We have
to protect the students whoose privacy was
breached."
Even if the person didn't intend to use
the passwords, he or she could face
ramifications through the student conduct
code and possibly even legal action if caught.
Over the year, the Computing Center
will be drafting a policy to determine what is
and isn't OK to do in the Computing Center,
and what kind of action will be taken if the
rules are broken. At the moment, no such
policy exists, and this leaves the center with
no official recourse once a problem, such as
this one, does occur.

brought a new awareness. Housing is
considering new locks on all entrances to the
buildings for Phase One of housing. The
Office of College Relations distributed a
notice of the break-ins and the HCC held a
discussion about safety.
One of the victims I talked with told me
"I used to beat boys up for a livin'," at one
point. In talking with her, it is pretty
apparent that she wishes she had still been
on duty Thursday morning. She now sleeps
with a weapon in reach, and that,
unfortunately, is the end ofthe story.

Witches Brew blends both
hip-hop and house music
by Nick Challed
A&E editor
On Halloween night KAOS hosted
Witches Brew. a collaboration of Hip-Hop and
House music. About 200 heads came through
the doors and were witness to the stylin'
abilities of various DJs and MCs. Much of the
audience displayed their funky costumes as
they danced to the beats and rhymes of the
performers.
The mood was set by the scratch in' DJ
skills of Ultrasonic. The evening rolled on with
suprise apperances by Seattle Hip-Hop DJs
Kamakaze, Topspin, and Vitamin D. Along
with the Me group Ghetto Children, these
artists collaborated with Source of Labor, who
thoroughly energized the crowd.
Source of Labor highlights the lyrical
talents ofMC Wordsayer, an underground hiphop artist from Seattle who brings powerful
and conscious lyrics wherever he performs.
Wordsayer has helped create the Jasiri Music
Groupi (JMG) an independent record label

November 5, 1998

which has released compilations featuring
Source of Labor. Beyond Reality, and Felicia
Loud.
Following the Seattle Hip-Hopsters ,
Venom 3 from Portland transitionI'd the crowd
for DJs Kris Dorr and Mike Pfaff. As KAOS
Program Director Randy Engstrom explained,
"They rocked the funky disco house 'till the
close of the party."
If you missed this one, KAOS will be
producing more events in the near future, not
to be missed. On Wednesday, Nov. 14th, KAOS
is collaborating with WashPirg and the
Evergreen Student Arts Council to present a
Hip-Hop benefit for Hungerfor Homelessness.
On Thursday, Nov. 19th, Kirihito from Japan
and Behead the Prophet will be performing.
Also, on Friday, Dec. lith, look out for an event
highlighting DJ Spun and Josh Stanton, along
with a live arts project.
Many props to Randy, the event
coordinator, and all of the KAOS staff and
volunteers who made this event possible.

Food Not Bombs offers inspiration
by Scott Fraundorf
Staff writer

Food Not Bombs is a group that was
started in the early eighties in the city of
Boston. It's main goal was to bring poverty and
helplessness into the public eye while helping
to feed the homeless and impoverished on the
streets. Last year one of the co·founders from
Boston named Keith McHenry went on the
"Un·Free Trade Tour" throughout the United
States, where he explained how Food Not
Bombs started. I had the opportunity to see
him speak and it was very inspiring. He was a
very charismatic dude.
The basic premise (in case it is not
painfully obvious from the name) is that if
all the resources dedicated to the machinery
of war were dedicated to feeding the
starving billions of the world there would
literally be no starvation on this planet, and
the mindless military morons who run
everything would be out of a job. In fact, our
country spends more money on defense then
the entire budgets of many other nations
combined.. money that could be used for more
humanitarian purposes.
FNB is also completely vegetarian for
many reasons. Animal rights are the foremo st
reason, but also because of the fact that 90% of
the grain in the world is fed to cattle so that
the beef industry can keep making the huge
profits that it does . This dramatically
contributes to global starvation.
In its early days, feedings took place in
front of multinational corporate banks, and
city halls, and court houses. Such tactics drew
widespread media attention and made FNB the
target of constant police harassment. Because
of this, word soon spread of FNB throughout
the country, inspiring other groups of people
to do the same elsewhere.
One ofthe most notable examples of this
is in San Francisco where FNB became one of

the main sources of food for marginalized
people. Over the last 10 years this noticeability
has made them the target of a large
amount of police harassment. Over
1,500 arrests have taken place in
_\
the city of San Francisco
causing Amnesty
,.
International
in 1993
t Q.

I have found FNB to be quite inspiring,
and empowering in the fact that it gives the
community an opportunity to fight back
against homelessness and poverty. Here,
in Olympia, there is a chapter of Food
Not Bombs. On Sundays at 11 a.m.
: "'"
they start cooking at Bread and
Roses, and at 1:00 p.m. the
food is carried down to
~ Sylvester Park, where it
is distributed to anyone
who wants it. Unlike
many food shelters, FNB
is nondenominational.
And if you are vegetarian
or vegan you need not
worry because all of the
food cooked at FNB is
vegan
(although
occasionally they distribute
cheese by itself. it is never
within
their cooking
concoctions). FNB is a great
way to network with others,
and not surprisingly many of
the people who help out are
Greeners.
FNB has served for the past two decades
to bring the severe oppression in society to the
attention of everyone else who would normally
close their eyes and pretend they don 't see
what's going on. It has been an inspiration to
me and others that things can be done, that
the world isn't a completely hopeless mess, and
that popular movements do have an effect on
what goes on. I hope to see many people from
this school help out with Food Not Bombs and
contribute their creative efforts to making it
accomplish as much as possible.

What is PHAT? That's the number one
question we have been asked to answer. PHATis your
frienclly Peer Health AdvocacyTearn. We are a group
ofstudents who are totally psyched about health. We
put this together to educate the Evergreen
community about your health concerns. Wel1spread
the word about lots oftopics from how to make that
cigarette you're holding your last to how to protect
yourselffrom SID's, and everything in between.
We wanted to see what the general health
trends are at Evergreen so we took a survey last week.
It was called the "PHATbribes you to fill out" survey.
We learned that a lot of you smoke, use drugs and
alcohol occasionally, have protected sex, and eat lots
ofcarbohydrates. For us, the most importahtPart of
this information survey was the information we got
about your health concerns. Many people are
concerned about smoking and their exposure to
second hand smoke. SID's, mental health, and
nutrition are also big issues. This information tells
us what direction to take PHAT in so that we can be
most effectiveto the student body (no pun intended).
PHAT plans on having a booth in the CAB
building once a month at lunch time. Every month
we'll cover a different issue. For instance, in
November we'll have a smoking cessation table. We
plan on having an herbal smoking mixture to help
smokers break the physiological addiction to
cigarettes. Later in the year we will have garnesabout
contraceptives and safe sex, nutrition, alternative
remedies, and fitness. We have office hours weekly
and we would be more than happy to answer any
health·related questions you have. There are tons of
awesome books in our office about all kinds ofhealth
problems and solutions, which you are welcome to
use. Ifyou have a health concern that you would like
to have informatioh on, you can leave a message on
x6555 andwewill put an articleon it. Lookfor articles
in the cpJ about nutrition, fertility, SID's, stress,
mental health, and lots more.
