who seems dehydrated. Ifyou don't get your 10

in the next EvergreE'n catalog, let alone a chance
to make a cheesy testimonial.

am not a crook! Goodbye, my friends, and
Godspeed!

The Midnight Fix serves coffee, tea ,
pastries, pop, and a welcome attitude. Rumor
has is that it has hands down the best coffee
products on campus.
The Branch is the Evergreen version of a
convenience store. Pop, candy bars, ice cream
and other snacks can all be found here. They
also have a decent supply of the necessities of
life (toilet paper, shaving cream, toothpaste) for
those emergency needs.
Pop Machines
In the days of yore, all pop machines on
campus cost you 60¢ for a can, and wouldn't
take a dollar bill. Thank the gods for
technology. While most of the machines still
operate under this delusion , check out the first
floor of the CAB. Here you can find 20 ounce
bottles of Pepsi and Coke products for a measly
75¢ (which beats deli products) and they'll take
those old, torn dollar bills. In addition to Pepsi
and Coke, there's also a Naya Spring Water
machine for those who are thirsty for life.

Located downtown, Orca offers used

chance they don't have it used, you can buy it
new for 10% offifit is for a class. And since they
buy a lot of used books (at a fairer return than
the bookstore), odds are they have a copy or

through a different lens. The opportunity to
teach in interdisciplinary studies programs
drew faculty to the college. McCann explained
a fundamental difference between Evergreen
The specifics which characterize Evergreen
For the first time in 71 years, Washington
passed legislation to open a new college. The
legislature told Evergreen's founders to break
from tradition . Washington did not want the
blueprints from Oxford, Yale, or Harvard.
The year was 1967. Nixon was in the oval
offi ce. The Beatles released SXI. Pepper's
Lonefy Hearts Club and the Clean Air and
\-Vater Act was in progress. Charles McCann
was the Dean of Student Affairs at Central
Washington State University. Charlie Teske
was teaching English at Oberlin College and
Dave Hitchens was working on his doctorate
at the University of Georgia. Rita Sevcik was a
From Charles McCann's introductory remarks for planning, 1970
1. Areas of inquiry will be
those generally found under
the headings of natural
sciences, social sciences
and
humanities,
understanding that this
includes the idea of study
in interdisciplinary problem
areas, and that it excludes
the strictly vocational.
2. Particular emphasis must
be given to those areas which
can take best advantage of
the college's location at the
seat of the government.
3. Only one requirement for
gradua ti on, Number 0 f uni ts

liThe most valuable
service Evergreen can
offer is to initiate a .
process of continuing
learning by preparing a
student with the
methods of learning
and experimentation."
4. Modes of instruction would
probably slant toward
seminars for most in the first
two years, but move toward
independent work with
admixtures of regular classes
and large lectures.
If
fourth-year students are not
doing most of their work
independently we've failed.
5_
A student program would
be individual, developed with
the advice of a faculty
member.
The advice must be
informed, close and careful.
A student should be able to
progress on his own terms and
speed.
This does not mean
"grooving in the grass."
6.
Generation of credit
through some sort of workstudy.

The grades would be
credit/ no credit.

Each facul ty member
would be responsible for
close to 54 students whose
work with that particular
facul ty would represent a
third of the student's load,
or 18 students whose work
with that faculty is their
whole load.

"I transferred to Evergreen fr om
Washington State University as a
Junior.
Evergreen had only been open for a year thrn.
If was an exciting time to be a young person.
Vietnam was still going on, Nixon was in the
White House, and the Clean Air and Water Art
was being addressed. WSU had a conservative
air about it. I liked Evergreen's expansive
attitute toward teaching. Primary learning was
facilitated through mentors. And the college
was more tolerant toward women. There
seemed to be m.ore women faculty, at least
more than WSU. I had a very productive year
at Evergreen."
In late July of 1998, the tirst session of
summer school came to an end. Students
strayed through Red Square in sandals and
tank tops. The climate that McCann so often
spoke of in the early days of Evergreen had
changed. As the summer wore on, Teske left
Olympia for a long awaited holiday. This
marked the beginning of his retirement from
teaching full time programs at Evergreen.
Charlie was among three founding faculty still
teaching in year-long programs. With his
departure and the departure of other founders
the climate surrounding Evergreen is bound to
fluctua te.

group of professors and students from around
the country gathered to determine how the
college would function. There was a student
from Reed College and a professor from
Antioch College. Togetherwith McCann, and
the Evergreen Board of Trustees, they
established goals. The legislature placed
constraints on the new college. Evergreen
could not otfer a Ph.D. program . Additionally,

McCann told the committee, "The most

1969, Governor Evans broke the ground where
the library stands with a yellow bulldozer.
Th e physical and philosophical

1969. Sevcik was one of the first staff to arrive
at the college. Sh e recalled those days by
saying: "We use to come out to the college to
SCI' the progress. As they cleared the trees all
that remained was a huge Held of mud. And
then an enormous building started growing
out of that mud. That was the library. "
In the winter and spring of 1970, the
college recruited "deans." Among them were
Teske, Mervyn Cadwallader, and Donald
Humphrey. In the fall the same year, 18 faculty
members were hired. Hitchens came from the

Your guide to campus recreation and athletics
by Suzanne Skaar
Staff writer
So, you're now officially an Evergreen
student? You've decided to tackle your
reading lists with a vengeance and dream
about documenting the adventures of
microbes in the laboratory, but you're still
curious about what to do with your free time.
Don't worry, the College Recreation Center
(CRC) has approximately a bazillion different
things for you to experience this year.
This campus has a great range of
facilities for students who want to burn off
some energy. TESC can brag about a gigantic
pool and separate diving well, a three court
gymnasium, machine and free weight rooms,
four racquetball and handball courts, an offcampus sailboat moorage, and indoor and
outdoor climbing walls among other perks.
Facilities manager Corey Meador would alert
students that in order to take advantage of
those perks they need a valid TESC student
photo ID for the current quarter and the
proper footwear if they want to use the
facilities. Court shoes for racquetball or
tennis are required or students will not
be allowed to use the grounds.
Through its Leisure Education
program, the CRC not only offers
classes in art, business/ finance, cooking,
creative writing, discovery, and music,
but also dance, fitness/ sports skills,
martial arts and self defense, mind
and body, outdoor pursuits, and
swimming. Within each category
one can find an amazing span of
choices. Ifyou don't want to join a class
in East Coast Swing, Salsa, belly dance,
or ballet you can run off to an aerobic step/
combo class or a basic sailing course. A full
list of available classes, times, locations,
instructors and fees are available in in the
CRe.
Avid (and occasionally rabid) sports
fans have their pick of four different events
to follow at our school. Men's and women's
swimming, tennis, soccer, and basketball
(sorry, no football) teams have been
established and as Greeners, it is our sworn
duty to occasionally skip out on watching The
Simpsons to cheer on our teams. Practice is
already in session for many of our athletes .
For
more
information on
meets and games,
the Cooper Point
Journal is always a
great place to look.
(How's that for a
shameless selfpromotion?)
People interested
in participating in
these sports need to contact the individual
coaches for specifics.
For those who are looking for
something to do outside of their·
curriculum but don't want to pay for
classes, Evergreen has a wide variety of
clubs.
From Kung-fu to
Ultimate Frisbee, students
can be sure to find
something that piques
their
interest.

Anchors is in

recreational organizations are out there.

If so me one on Red Square asks yo u \vhat time it is, look at
your watch a nd tell them, then suggest that they go to a clock
store and buy their own watch. If they don't have that kind of
money, you could sit in front of the clock tower and ask people
passing by for money so this person would know what time it is
when they are on Red Square.
Just behind the clock tower is the lady that ru ns
it all. Ms. library is four stori es full of every story to
tell. In her basement is the Copy Center. On her Hrst
floor are television studios, the Media Resource Center, Ken Wilhelm, Academic Planning, First Peoples
Advising, Admissions, Registration, Financial Aid,
Payroll, Student Accounts, and every other type of
critter. On her second floor is the Library (fitting as
it's the Library Building) as well as the Computer Center (center of all computing) and Media Loan. The
Third floor has the Learning Resource Center, Human
Resources, and the President's Office. The top floor is
a mystery to all and should be avoided at all cost (accept during Super Saturday when BEER is sold up
there).
The College Activities Building is
the gentle giant that lives across Red
Square. Here you'll find the TESC Bookstore, the Deli, the Greenery, and Student
Activities. There are approximately 57
student groups, all of which extend an
open invitation to you to join.

Where's My EBoard of Trustees mail account?
Now Greeners can ride IT for free
by Ashley Shomo
Contributing writer
Promotional banners and bookmarks run amuck
as Intercity Transit's ride for free campaign hits campus
for the first time.
Five years after South Puget Sound Community
Colle/Ze started the trend, TESC launched a pilot
program, beginning on Sept.
28, that will allow students with
~
validated
stude nt
identification card to ride the
bus any day and any time for
free.
"I t's an idea that's been in
the discussion stages for a
while," sa id the student
activities director, Thomas
Mercado. Last year, Student
Activities (S & A) received over '
400 student responses to their
annual questionnaire, and the
pilot program met with high
approval. In addition, TESC
held numerous discussion~
with IT on the program's
feasibility.
"There's been an interest
on the part of the college and IT
for seve ral years ," sai d Susan
Hanson , ITs marketing and
communications director. "This was a way to decrease
parking hassles and do something good for the
environment." For many years, said Hanson, money
was the stumbling block. Once TESC determined
sufficient funds, there was nothing in the way.
The $180,000 cost of the project was taken from
last year's unused student fees and direct allocations
from the Board of Trustees. In addition, $8,000 was
split between IT and TESC for the promotional
campaign. "We want to make sure students use it since
we're paying for it," said Mercado.
TESC and IT will be monitoring the program
throughout the year. As for the future, "We can look
back next Spring and see if we feel like continuing it,"
said Mercado. In addition, the
contract contains a clause that
will allow either rarty to back out
with written notice. If students
decide to continue the program
next year, funds wi ll have to come
from elsewhere, said Mercado.
"This is money we can't continue
to put into the program."
Students
at
SPSCC
automatically pay 48 cents per
credit, said)ohn Hurley, SPSCCs
vice president for administrative
services. He adds, "Students have
to vote
that
fee
upon
themselves." Aside from money,
other concerns lurk in the future.
TESC students are the prime
users ofIT, said Mercado. There
is worry ofITs capability to meet
the
increased
ridership.
However,
Hanson
seems
confident. "We do feel that we
ca n accommodate what we expect the ridership to be.
We certainly do want to encourage people to use the
service as much as possible."
In addition, voting results for a tax referendum in
March could affect ITs funding and abilities. "It's too
soon to say," said Hanson.
by Lara Littlefield
This past spring quarter at the Evergreen
campus, we had a vote to elect the student
representative to the Board of Trustees. There
were 10 candidates, from which the top five
were sent to Governor Locke. Out of this
process I was appointed to the Board of
Trustees. The Board of Trustees decides long
term policy, the hiring! firing of the President,
to approve budgets and missions, to approve
legislative requests, and certain staff/faculty
affairs, to name a few. The student
representative is excluded only from the staff!
faculty affairs.
On this board I serve three functions.
The first is to represent students. I relay the
multiple student perspectives to the board
members so that they are taken into account
when a vote and! or decision needs to be
determined. Students have a unique view
toward Evergreen that is very valuable to long
term policy. My second function, the legal one,
is to serve the long-term interest of the citizens
and taxpayers of Washington state. The third
function is to be myself. These three functions
overlap and may sometimes contradict.
Therefore, it is very important that I am clear

The board members need to know who we are
and what we are about just as we need to know
them . I will be writing consistent articles in the
CP) about the current issues on the board. I
will also be posting the dates of eachBoard
meeting. They are open to all and I hope to
se'e you there!
You may contact me through e-mail at
studentrep@elwha.evergreen.edu, or my box
on the third floor of the CAB. I work at the
Rec. Center so you may also find me there.
Another goal I am currently working on
is to get open forums by students for student
issues. If you have any suggestions for times!
days! dates or want to help let me know. The
next board meeting is October 14, 9 a.m. to 4

to see you there!
Communications staff, led by Susan
Chamberlain and Dave Metzler, worked long
and hard this summer to automate the account
process. The goal was to make getting
accounts simple for students and simple for
staff.
The Old Way: In the past, you needed to
fill out an Account Request, then wait
anywhere from 10 to 21 days . Plus, you
couldn't request an account until after you got
your I.D. validated. Perhaps the biggest
problem was sorting out problems. Staff had
to wade through mountains of paper. Solving
problems was frustratin g and timeconsuming.
The New Way: This fall, eve ry student
will automatically be issued an e-mail (elwha)
account. Your log-in name and your password
will be generated by computer, so you should
be able to log-in without any assistance. You
will still need to request accounts on other
systems, but account creation should take
days, not weeks.
If you were registered by Sept. 18, your
account will be ready by Sept. 21. If you
register after that date, your account should
be ready on the next business day. YOLI will
not receive an account until you register.
How Do I Know My Name & Password?
If you still have an account from last year
It's the same as it was then. The new
system didn't change existing accounts.
If your account is created this year
Yourlog-in name and password will look
like this. Let's use me as an example. My name
is John McGee, and I was born on May 22,
1952.
To determine your log-in name
Take the first three letters of your last name:

•

If your birth date has a single digit, you
will need to precede it with a zero. (e.g. If you
were born on the Fourth ofjuly, use 04, not 4.)
•
If one of your names has fewer than three

are required. If I was registered as J. McGee
my log-in name would be mcgj22
•
Your log-in name is crea ted from the

you used when you registered. If Registration
has inaccurate information , your account will
not be created correctly.

find a friend with a car for those late nights out

Greener Lingo
There are so many new words and

would be impossible to put them all down here.
But here's a few choice ones:
Trustifarian - Rasta meets trust fund. These
creatures can usually be identifie'd by their
strong Patchouli odor, dreads, second hand
clothes and the expensive cars that they drive.
Be warned, some try to disguise their wealth
4:20 - For some reason, everything
happens at 4:20 on this campus. No one really
knows why, and if they do, they keep it to
themselves. Some people blame it on the fact
that 420 is the police code for marijuana use.
Others blame it on the little green men who
live in the woods. Who knows. Just be aware
of the mythical powers of4:20 and you should
be safe. One other thing - if you see a
multitude of people on April 20 wandering
about with a dazed look, try not to stare. Just
shake your head and realize that most of them
will return to normal in under 24 hours or
when the effects wear off.

A truly green summer vacation
I
Wrote~
~"'"',....
This
There are cliches, and then there are
cliches.
Writing columns about what one did over
one's summer vacation falls into the latter
category. It's been done entirely to death. It's the
wasteland to which writers retreat when they lack
any inspiration whatsoever. Every two-bit college
newspaper columnist writes one eventually.
So, as I haven't done mine yet, I'll get
started.
For those of you unfamili ar with my
column, thi s should se rve as a fitting
introduction . My life for the past three months
has stood as a classic example of the odd mix of
politics, pathos and pretense which typity my life
in general and this column in particular. For tne
rest of you, well, read this. Don't worry. You
probably won't learn anything.
I began the summer with no clear idea of

whal , if anything, I was going to do for income.
It would not have been the first summer in which
I found mys elf unemployed, bored and
depressed, but this time I was determined to
actually make some money and do something
meaningful. The main impediment to this was
that I hadn't really started looking until after I
was out of school.
Fortunately, this is an election year, and
after responding to an ad in the c1assifieds, I
ended up working for a ballot initiative.
Specifically, I collected signatures for the effort
to get Initiative 692 onlo the ballot in
Washington .
For anyone unfamiliar with 1-692, its
official title is the "Washington State Medical Use
of Marijuana Act." If passed. it would allow
doctors to prescribe marijuana for several
illnesses, among them glaucoma, AIDS wasting
syndrome, and the side effects associated with
radiation therapy in cancer patients. Marijuana
smoke has been shown to be effective in
alleviating suffering in such cases, though
controversy still lingers. After all, we're talking
about marijuana here.
Marijuana, after all, is still very much a hotbutton issue. Certain words and phrases carry a
charge so strong that their mere presence in
conversation shuts off many people's minds. This
was the challenge faced by 1-692's petitioners.
My job was simple. I stood outside grocery
stores and asked people to sign as they walked
past. I came quickly into contact with just how
volatile the issue of any sort of drug legalization
is in our discourse. While a lot of people signed
enthusiastically, other people's responses to the
question "Sirl Ma'am? Care to sign a petition for
the medical use of marijuana?" ranged trom looks
of outright scorn and disgust to an indignant "do
I look like a doper?" to the truly bizarre. A
distressingly high percentage didn't seem to have
the slightest interest in actually understanding
the issue. It's a symptom of the malady which
holds democracy back from its full potential:
people are. often, more interested in their own
prejudices than in facts which might have an
impact on their opinions.
One older man leaned directly into my face,
the tip of his nose a scant few inches from mine.
(If you've ever seen the episode of "Seinfeld" in
which Elaine's boyfriend is a "close-talker." you
can imagine the scene.) "Do you really think a
78-year-old man's going to go for this crap. young
lad?" he asked me.
"A simple 'no' would have sufficed," I told
him.
He came back later, and asked to read t~e
text of the initiative. Then he pointed to the can
of soda pop in my hand, and informed me that
soda pop led to cigarettes, then alcohol. then
marijuana. and then finally drugs like heroin . To
my knowledge, studies regarding the status of
root beer as a gateway drug have been
inconclusive, but you never know.
But as I said, a lot of people signed willingly,
even gleefully. A fair number thanked me for
giving them the opportunity to sign. Also, [
learned quickly not to discount anyone based on
their appearance. A lot of young people either
firmly disagreed or radiated apathy, whereas a
lot of older people seemed delighted by the
initiative, saying that they had friends who had
used marijuana to alleviate their own pain, and
who swore by it. At times like that I couldn't help
but feel good about what I was doing. Especially
when [-692 actually got enough signatures to put
it on the November ballot.
Also. if people weren't registered to vote. [
was authorized to register them. So for a number
of people, [ was performing a personal service
even beyond the issue at hand.
And, oh yeah, I madea dollar per signature,
which ended up adding up to more money than
I usually make doing summer jobs. So it was a
resounding success all around.
So I'd recommend political activity tn
