When Senate Bill 5517 passed Tuesday
evening Evergreen's Board of Trustee-s held
their breath.
The Washington State Senate Bill gives
voting power to the student representatives of
the Board ofTrustees at all Washington fouryear public colleges.
Evergreen's Board of Trustees don 't want
the student representative to have voting
power. Neither do the boards at the five other
Washington state colleges who will be affected
ifthe bill becomes law.
KIm Merriman, Evergreen's political
liaison, spoke and sllbmitted a letter to the
House of Represe ntatives and the Senate
explaining the three reasons why Evergreen
opposes th e bill.
The first reason for opposition is that the
board doesn 't believe that somebody who is
affected by decisions should be in on the
decision making process. All of the trustees are
community members, unaffected directly by
decisions made in the board meetings.
Secondly, the trustees represent outside
perspectives. According to the letter submitted
by Merriman to the House Higher Education
Committee, .a trustee "should not be involved
in the internal operation of the college." A
student, even in the capacity of student
representative to the board, is involved in the
internal operation of the college.
Lastly, if studen ts become voting
members on the board, then faculty, staff and
administrative representatives would also be
entitled to have voting power.
"They're all good points," said Nick
Mitchell, Evergreen 's current student
representative to the board, aalthough I don't
agree that an institution can be run most
effectively by people who are not involved."
Mitchell feels his presence at board
meetings "provides the illusion of democracy."
"Other voices have an impact more than
students'," he added. "At least [if the bill
becomes law1 there would be recognition that

student voices count in the decision making
process. "
Bills like Senate Bill 5517 have been
tossed around in the Washington state
legislature for 25 years, Merriman said.
Evergreen's board have always opposed it.
However, Evergreen has had a non-voting
student representative attend board meetings
since 1974. President Jane Jervis said Evergreen
was one of the first four-year public colleges in
the state 10 have a non-voting stud ent
representative to the board.
Thirty-one states currently have a law
creating voting positions for student
representatives to the board at four-year public
colleges.
According to Senate Bill 5517 as it is now,
the student government chooses at least three
and no more than five student candidates,
From the three to five candidates, Governor
Gary Locke appoints one to the board for a
year.
Since Evergreen has no st ud ent
government, the collective student body must
select three to five candidates. Jervis is still
unclear on how the students will do this if the
bill becomes law.
lervis and Mitchell said not much will
change on the board if the bill becomes law.
However, Jervis concedes that two past
Evergreen issues may ~ave turned out
differently if the student representative would
have had a vote.
The failed attempt to move from the
quarter system to semester system and the
decision to arm Police Services were made by
the board in a narrow margin, Jervis said that
if the student representative had had a vote,
the two decisio ns may have turned out
differently,
Senate Bill 5517 now heads for approval
or amendment by the House. .
House Bill 2374, similar to Senate Bill
5517, passed last week and now heads to Senate
to be passed or amended. Eventually, one of
the two bills will end up on Locke's desk to sign
. or veto.

Chlorine free paper
lDNT:
ERe calls for a change in policy
VIEWPOINT~
by Shoren Brown
and Sara Lampo
Environmental Resource Center
Hello fellow Greeners. I realize by now
that many of you are already quite aware that
our campus is using paper that is bleached by
chlorine and composed of 65 percent virgin
pulp, The faculty and administration are
willing to make the change to 100 percent
recycled-chlorine-free paper, but they need to
know that the student body of this school is
supportive. The actual implementation of this
new paper will take a considerable investment
oftime and energy from nonstudents, so NOW
is the time to show our support. Presently
Evergreen uses roughly 18,000 sheets of paper
each day and each sheet we use is adding to the
severe environmental degradation caused by
chlorine effluent and clear-cutting. It is time
for a change in our paper purchasing policy and
on a broader scale, a change in the
environmental psyche of this institution. This
is the first step in a change that is desperately
needed at E..,er"green", so let's get together and
show that we can effect change. The best_way
to show your support at this point is to wri~e to
administration, (whose e-mail accounts are
listed on the TESC webpage) and to come to
the Environmental Resource Center, offer
support for our paper policy draft, and sign the
petition. For more information, please contact
us at the ERC at x6784. Thanks.

blankets and clothes etc. (sounds familiar to
smaUpox huh) People need lavender oil and
tea tree oil to combat these bug type
parasites, they also need our solidarity to
combat the human parasites. This is the end

For a while, Harden talks about the
practice. The team is preparing to play
Western Washington University in two days.
Last time the two teams competed, .Western
won 79 to 31.
"Western is a strong, physical team ,"
Harden says. "They have a lot of players that
spend a lot of time in the weight room. It's hard
for us to prepare for them , because we're not
as strong."
.
After a while, Harden talks about the
Geoducks them'selves; the team is in its first
season and, before the Western game, had otily
one win,
Still, Harden thinks the season has been
a success.
.
"It's gone great," he says. "It's tough to
compete in a Division 11 league. You can look
at it two ways; by wins and los~es, or by playing
hard and improving, and from that point of
view, improving, we've had a great season."
He names some of the improvements:
"Defensive play, playing together, people who
haven't played in a while __ ." .
The team had special challenges in the
last category; many ofTESC's players hadn't
played competitive ball for at least one year,
sometimes more.
.
. Harden names them.
"Stefanie (Batzell) and Heidi (Haynes)
hadn't played in two yea rs," Harden said .
~Angie (Maricle) also hadn't pJayed in two
years. Ann (Schoenberger) hadn't played in a
while, either- 1don't think Mugs (Loudon) had
played competitively since junior high."
Harden says the biggest surprise was
Haynes, the 5'10" junior,
"S he improved the most: he sa id,
"especially when you consider she played
center in high school. We've asked her to pl~y
on the wing a lot, and she picks up fast."
Another player of note is Alex Dagnon,

with Baltzell and Maricle.

five players in a couple of games
"The game we won, against Northwest

Getting education hooked on phon'ics
by David Simpson
Staff writer
Add education to the list of issues that
the state Senate has attempted to tackle during
the 1998 legislative session.
Senate Bill 6509 seeks to improve the
much-maligned state education system, and
specifically the reading ability of the state's
elementary school students. In its opening
paragraph, it declares an "emergency" (and
frankly, it's a bit distressing how frequently the
senate seems to use that word to describe
problems). It t;lkes a variety of approaches to
the problem, the most controversial of these
being the increased emphasis on phonics as a
tea ch ing tool. In past years, the value of
phonics as a tool has been hotly debated.
In its first provision, the bill would establish
a gral)t program designed to instruct teachers in
the art ofteaching reading skills to students. This
instruction would be provided by "nonsectarian
contractors," and include"systematically explicit
phonics instruction, phonemic awareness,
sound-symbol relationship, decoding
instruction, word-att;lck skills, spelling and
vocabulary instruction, and explici~ instruction
of comprehension skills. "These grants could.be
used only for training programs which take place
during the summer of this year. Under the bill,
. all teachers would then be required to be certifi~d
in these training programs.
The bill also requires that "starting in the
1998-99 school yea'r, school districts must
administer a standardized, nationally- normreferenced test to measure second grade
reading skills of second grade students. The
state-wide second grade reading test, in
addition to reporting in other formats, shall
report student reading levels in terms ofgrade
level and monthly increments." The stated
purpose of this is to provide parents, teachers
and the system with a way of measuring how
much a student learns during the year.
The test results would be made available
to parents at the . winter parent-teacher
conferences.
To ensure that the programs are executed
effectively, the state board of education would
oversee the process thoroughly. It would
"approve or disapprove the program of courses
leading to teacher, school administrator, and
school specialized personnelcertification offered
by all institutions ofhigher education within the
state which may be accredited and whosegraduates may become entitled to receive such
certification." Every five years the board would
essentially re-evaluate the entire process.
The bill ends with a justification of its
existence. "This act," it says, "is necessary for
the immediate preservation of the public
peace, health, or safety, or support of the state
government and its existing public
institutions, and takes effect immediately."
The bill was originally s.ponsored by
Senators Hochstatter, Benton, Zarelli, Rossi,
Swecker, Deccio, John son, Oke, McCaslin,
Stevens, Morton, Roach and Schow. (Don't
hate them because they're Republicans.) Since
then, it has been remodeled by the Senate
Committee on Ways & Means. The committee

Fate of therapeutic cannabis still in limbo
by Toby Schroder
Contributing writer
Patients and advocates who support the
use of marijuana for its therapeutic value suffered
another set-back last week when Senate bi\l6271
died Friday in the hands of a Senate committee.
The bill was chastised by the lieutenant governor
and law enforcement representatives. Yelm's
Chiefof Po ticI' Glenn Dunnam was among those
who testified against the bill . Dunnam
mentioned that future proposals might face
opposition from prosecutors and law
enforcement officials due to its fed eral

searches, even searching A- and D-dorms a
second time. The entire searc h took 40
minutes. Patti, determined never to be
complacent, still considered that there could be
a problem with the alarms. "Initially, my
concern was that we'd have to close the
buildings, because if we have problems with
alarm systems, they can't be occupied." He was
considering the option oflocking all students
out of all four dorms until the morning. The
alarm panel indicated that another pull-box,
this one near the elevator, had been th~ source
of the alarm. Since each time the alarm had
been ac tivated by a manuaipull-box, and since
the staff was able to succ,essfully reset them,
they decided that there was no real chance that
the pull-boxes had all sequentially failed. Again
the students were allowed to return to their
dorms.
Afterward, Bird returned to B-dorm to
check on his suspects. He was not completely
surprised to discover that the woman he had
chased into the woods, an Evergreen student, had
arrived to join his two original suspects and the
other woman who had been so carefully observing
C·dorm moments before its alarm rang.

Malicious pulls are a tremendous waste
of the county's resources. According to Patti,
"We end up,havingto split'resou'rces, and it
takes those resources away from somebody or.
something that actually needs it... olir resources
were tied up looking for a problem in the
dormitories that didn't exist - in essence, a wild
goose chase." While fire staff are wasting their
time investigating a prank, fire trucks and aid
cars have to be diverted from other fire stations,
often fa rther away, to handle actual
emergencies. Patti summed up the attitude of
the fire staff this way: "We feel betrayed. It's
not good to cry wolf."
When the suspects were questioned, they
denied having any responsibility or
foreknowledge of the events that had taken
place. Bird claims that he is "80 percent
positive" that these suspects were involved. The
investigation into this incident is still pending,
and no charges have yet been filed. The TESC
Police are still interviewing their suspects.

example. At least 100 prisoners at the Central California Women's
Facility are known to have HIV, but there is no HIV / AIDS medical
doctor; and women who are HIV positive or have full blown AIDS
receive no routine exams or clinical follow-up.
As corporations attempt to privatize the prison industry,
rehabilitation is placed lower on the jobofprisons. When prisoners
act as laborers for private companies, those. companies want a full
work day, eliminating thefew programs designed to give the
prisoner skills. This also acts as a blow against workers on .the
outside who lose their jobs to prisoners who aren't allowed to
organize and don't receive a minimum wage. These private interests
would profit both from overcrowding and lengthy prison terms.
Another example of the horrid treatment of prisoners takes
place with the severe phYSical and psychological abuse in the
maximum security prisons. These prisons use beatings, cO)1trol
units, mind games and solitary confinement. It is a myth .that
solitary confinement is used for only short periods of time. It is
usually a period of months and most commonly years that prisoners
are confined to what academic literature calls "the most inqividually
destructive, psychologically crippling, and socially alienating
experience that could conceivably exist within the borders of the
count!)'. "These prisons are not intended for rehabilitation, yet Oyer
. 40 percent of the adult prison population is confined here.
The most frequently disciplined groups of prisoners are those
with mental handicaps, Black prisoners, and jailhouse lawyers.
Political prisoners, including persons incarcerated for actions in
support of self~determinatioQ struggles opposing the illegal poli~ies
of the US government as a direct.reslilt ofpolitical action, affiliation,
belief, and for defending and fighting abusers, are also targeted for
harsh treatment. Speaking about women prisoners confined to a
behavior modification unit, the director of the Bureau of Prisons
said the conditions of senso!), deprivation, extreme isolation, and
sexual degradation were necessary to provide security. "Their
radical politics made them-a threat to the community and 'escape
prone .... Women were told by other prison officials that their only
way out of this unit was to renounce their political associations.
The US government, while claiming to have no political
prisoners, dearly rules against those fighting the systems of power.
For example, in 1986, a man convicted of planning and car!)'ing
out bombings -without making any warning calls -of ten occupied
health clinics where abortions were performed was sentenced to
ten years_in prison and paroled after 46 months. In contrast,
Raymond tevasseur was convicted of bombing four unoccupied
military targets in protest again~t US foreign policies and sentenced
to 45 years in prison.
Even if the facts that racism , poverty, and radical activism
fills the prisons were discounted for a moment, the prison system
still is not working. In 1991, 34.8 percent of prisoners who were
released were rearrested for a felony or serious misdemeanorwithin
three years. There are no jobs for people when they get out. They
have not been allowed education, skill training, or rehabilitation
programs. Such intense violence has been used to break their spirits
and individuality that, when released, they have few social skills
and are unfamiliar with alternative methods to violence. The
Minnesota Assistant Commissioner of Corrections even said,
'There is no evidence of a relationship between the incarceration
rate and violent crime. We're in the business of tricking people into
thinking that spending'hundreds of millions lof dollars] for new
prisons will make.them safe."

punishment and violence are not used to justiry building more
prisons, while ignoring issues of rehabilitation, respect, and the roOI
causes for crime. We have to expose the myths surrounding prisons
and educate each other about the real dangers including
unemployment, lack of access to education and health care, poverty,
the government prioritizing corporations over people, and police
abuse.
Prison Awareness Week, Feb. 23 to 27, is a chance to educate
ourselves about these issues. With education, we can begin to
debunk the myths surrounding prisons, and recognize who the real
criminals in society are: those continu ing to criminalize people of
color, the young , the poor, and the radical. By working to
understand the connections of our struggles as they relate to
prisons, we can strengthen our movement against the injustices of
the prison industry and in society at large.

seemingly very happy (with a
couple slow songs for goed
measure), but after a few listens, .
yeu start te he.ar more and more of the
lyrics which are in turn'clever. insightful
and biting. Gaze seems to write a lot of
sengs abeut breakups .or heartbreak, but
in the smart sort .of way that makes you
wish you had thought te say that the last time
you were breaking up with semeone.
I find myself wanting te quete the lyrics
at length, but I'll contain myself and give you
just best part from the song "Anyway":
"The only thing left to like about yeu / is hew
many songs 1have written that are new / You
are altier, yeu are a jerk / yeu're completely
insen~'itive and it weuld never work, anyway."
With the release ofFhe album this month,
things have' started te pick up for
them. and then even .opened for
the Violent Femmes in
Vanceuver last month. We
should feel henored here in
Olympia because their grand
world tour kicks off temorrew
at the Capitel Theater
and concludes the
following day in Seattle at
Velvet Elvis. They're trying
o organize further tour dates in
May. but have to .werk around Megan's
graduation and her upcoming summer job
as a flight attendant. As fer the future of
the band, Miko says they haven't talked
about it much, but they wouldn 't have
