Board discusses
basketball teams
by Patty Cleverley
At yesterday's regular meeting, the
board of trustees looked on in confusion as a
faculty member and the student
representative criticized the process by which
Evergreen is deciding whether to change
from quarters to semesters.
Yesterday was the second time
semesters were discussed informally by the
trustees', but President Jane Jervis has not yet
made a formal recommendation for the board
to vote on.
In his report to the board, Student
Representative Ray Goforth argued that the
forums for student input about the proposed
semester calendar were not sufficient.
Goforth contends that the current decisionmaking process is "flawed from beginning
to end," because students are only being
asked whether they like or dislike the early
semester calendar the faculty narrowly voted
to recommend.
Gofoth prepared and recommended a
six-step process to collect input from the
community, The plan stressed a communitywide dialogue using popular concerns to help
decide on any calendar changes. He urged
the board to "refuse to hear any proposed
calendar changes which were not formulated
and adopted by the community at large."
Trustee Ed Kelly rebuked Goforth's
claim that the community isn't being
consulted. ''This process is wide open," he
said. "Give us whatever you got."
Goforth's recommendation was not
approved by the trustees.
However, Goforth received support by
faculty member Chuck Nisbet, who has
taught at Evergreen since 1971. Nisbet also
wants a more organized input process for
community opinion; he noted that 55 percent
of the faculty voted and the final vote was
close with a tally of 49-41 . He said that more
faculty needed to be consulted.
Vipperman said that the facu Ity
recommendation for the semester system has
been recorded, but not officially delivered
to the board.
Academic Dean John Cushing cited
three main reasons the faculty support the
semester system: the anticipation of a
lessened work load, a 50 percent increase in
planning time, and more curricular choices
by Sara Steffens
Yesterday, Evergreen's board of
trustees heard arguments for and agai nst
starting men's and women's inter-collegiate
basketball teams a\~ergreen.
Vice President r Student Affairs Art
Costantino explainea t ELl!..asketball DTF's
recommendation to form the teams to the
trustees, and tried to update them about
campus debate surrounding the proposal.
Several weeks ago, the DTF
recommended forming the teams, saying
they would build bridges between Evergreen
and the community and enhance cultural
diversity on campus,
The DTF stipulated that no state general
fund money be directly allocated to the
teams, which they hope would eventually
become financially self-sustaining,
If Costantino decides to recommend
forming the teams. he will pass that
recommendation on to Jane Jervi s, Jervis
would present the issue to the trustees for a
final vote, most likely during the summer.
Costantino said that student's most
common opinion about the basketball
proposal was that the money it will cost to
form and run the teams - initially about
$37,000 a year - could be better spent to
improve student services at Evergreen.
Many students also perceive
intercollegiate sports as a " nuisance."
Costantino said, and are afraid of the attitudes
and behavior another competitive sports
program may bring to the campus.
But other students support basketball,
he said, because it will help them feel
connected to the campus, or because they
want Evergreen to establish a friendlier
relationship with Thurston County and
Olympia residents.

Several members said they were
confused at Goforth's feeling that community
opinion was not being considered, saying that
the board hadn't made any decisions yet.
Trustee John Terrey said, 'This is a time
for you to submit evidence and we will
listen."
Trustee Carol Vipperman told Goforth,
''There are different parts of the community...
Every element of the community needs to
debate the issue ... I would encourage you and
the students to participate."
Siudents -pieket academ,i c fair
by Pat Castaldo
Some students of the Evening and
Weekend Studies program are extremely
unhappy with the way next year's courses
have been developed.
Their dissatisfaction was displayed in
force on Wednesday, with a petition to the
Evergreen board of trustees and a protest
table outside of the Academic Fair.
Pete Kinney. a member of a group
calling themselves the Weekend and Evening
Studies Program Self-Governance
Committee, presented the demands to the
board at 3: 15 p.m .. during a time that had
been speci fically set aside for that purpose.
Students in the program have spent
several weeks developing their own model
for next year's program.
Their planned course, The Great
American Dream Machine, has a complete
syllabus and faculty already selected.
The Weekend and Evening Studies
studentr, are upset because their program will
not be implemented next fall, nor will the
visiting faculty that teach the existing
program be asked to return. "Our input has
been dismissed," said Kinney.
The board of trustees patiently listened
to Kinney's demands, and agreed to discuss
them at a later time.
Towards the end of the four-hour
meeting, Trustee John Terrey remarked that
this was not an issue for the trustees to deal
with.
The board of trustees appoints certain
rights and responsibil ities to the president of
the college, and Terrey feels this type of
student/faculty management is one of them.
"If I were President," remarked Terrey,
"I would resent like hell a board telling me
to do this [handle the situation]."
President Jervis believes that a lot of
this has been a misunderstanding between
the administration and the college.
"It was never the intent that students

said Jervis in her comments to the board.
Jervis was confident that. "the way we
proceeded has been appropriate."
Kinney and his fellow students in the
Evening and Weekend Studies Program still
disagree. The feel tnat they have been "lied
to" by the administration on numerous
occasions.
"It's time to take one more deep breath
and try to reason together," said Terrey in
response to the situation between the students
and the administration.

Campus crime
data available
UNITED STATES - College students and
their parents are entitled to recei ve campus
crime data under new federal regulations.
According to U.S. Secretary of
Education Richard W.,Riley, "Campus crime
statistics and safety procedures provide
critical informat ion for any parent or st udent
when selec ting a college. If consumers can
find out the safety records of vehicles. surely
they should hav e access to th e same
information for coll ege campuses."

Last month a homeless student,
who does not want to be named publicly,
responded when the co\Iege expressed a
desire to help homeless students through
an emergency program.
.The emergency program turned out
to be a loan for the cost of three days
maximum stay in a room in campus
housing. "On the fourth day, ] had no
place to sleep ... legally," he said.
Having nowhere else to go, he
started sleeping in campus buildings. The
Public Safety office told him to leave
because he was in violation of the
habitation policy - then they called the
sheriff. Now he's facing disciplinary
action from the college.
"This reflects poorly on my
school," said the homeless student. He
met last week with the Student Affairs
office to have the grievance charge
removed. "I'm hoping they'll find this
too distasteful to pursue," he said.
Just because a student is homeless
doesn ' t make him or her a criminal and
the coUege should not treat them as such.
"Humans need a place to sleep ...
that's a fact. I don't want to sleep in
public places, but it's a biological fact I
can't help ... During the day I'm a
productive member of society ... altending
university.. . working in community
organizations." I just don't have my own
place to stay," the homeless student said.
"Not all Evergreen students come
from a middle class family, those that
don't, can not attend university without
financial aid ... Financial aid at Evergreen
is a process of elimination that
manufactures homeless students ... they
consider it good when a way is found to
disqualify or reduce a student's financial
aid award," he said.
The
WILIlJ~.
SIDE.'
NATURE
Viewpoint
He added that although the college
professes a commibnent to diversity, the
lack of actual commitment to real
assistance eliminates the people it
professes to want to "retain" or "recruit. n
This homeless student is not the
rust person to be harassed and threatened
by the college for violating the habitation
policy.
This March, when homeless people
sought refuge in our woods after being
thrown out of Sylvester Park they were
handed unauthorized threatening notices
by Public Safety officers.
The college habitation policy
prohibits overnight habitation except for
"individuals for whom the prohibition is
waived by a vice-president or his or her
designee for fixed temporal periods and at
fIXed locations."
Executive Vice President T.L,
"Les" Purce has said he is concerned
about homeless people's situation. In the
case of the campers he should have used
his power to waive the prohibition.

will be time for anyone who wants to
speak or read.
If you need help dealing with this

Costantino reported concerns that
basketball is being used merely to recruit
African-American students, "I have not
heard anyone suggest that all AfricanAmericans like basketball... What I have
heard is that basketball gathers particular
s upport and interest among AfricanAmerican communities."
He also added that st udents on the
Tacoma campu s see m to s upport that
sentiment.
If Evergeen does form teams, they
would compete in the Pacific North West
Athletic Conference (PNWAC), a division
of the National Asociation of Intercollegiate
Athletics (NAIA). Evergreen's teams would
compete again~t at least seven other local
colleges, including SI. Martin's, the
University of Puget Sound. Western
Washington University and Central
Washington University.
"I am concerned that if we enter into a
[basketball] program, we need to think about
being competitive in that program," he said.

speak. "They were curious that we even had
basketball on our agenda," said Wong. but
reported that they were also pleased by the
idea of Geoduck basketball.
Wong said he's been in touch. with the
communities of color at Evergreen. "They
kind of perked up when we mentioned we
were talking about it [basketball]," he said.
Tom Freeman, KAOS development
manager and chair of the Shops Steward
Committee for the Washington Federation of
state employees, also addressed the trustees .
. "The concern that I have is that 35
positions have been cut last biennium," said
Freeman. "A nd now, we're talking about
adding a program, when a lot of good people
have had to leave this college." If Evergreen
has $37,000 to spare, he said, we can put it
to better use.
Freeman
also
says
inten se
intercollegiate basketball competition is
contrary to Evergreen ' s spirit. "If we're
gonna do this, then maybe we should just
get frat houses," he said.
Student Rahul Gupta told the trustees
Evergreen should not start the teams if their
purpose is to attract students of color. If the
teams are to attract African-Americans. said
Gupta, "I find that belittling." Gupta pointed
out that basketball will not address the basic
needs of students of color. Even if basketball
does attract a more diverse student
population, "what are you going to do
curriculum-wise to keep them here?," he
asked.

for students.
He also said the deans unanimously
support moving to semesters.
Terrey said, "I'm moved by the amount
of evaluations [faculty write] and everything,
but my final decision will be what is best for
the students."
Jane Jervis opened up discussion on a
timeline for making the final decision by
say ing, "I think it's clear... that it would be
inappropriate to make a decision during the
summer," while most faculty and students
are on vacation.
Nisbet was also concerned the decision
will be made too quickly. He said, "It can't
be treated as a done deal...We can't decide
this in two or three weeks."
Leah Campbell, a student member of
the Long Range Planning DTF, said she
personally supports a semester system. She
urged that the academic calendar be decided
before June so that the Curriculum Planning
DTF will not be bogged down with it next
year.
Dean Cushing also wants to decide
semesters by June so the Curriculum DTF
can move forward with planning the coming
years.The earliest the change to a semester
system could be implemented would be the
1996-1997 school year.
Trustee s will continue considering
whether or not to vote on the change in June.
Goforth's plan insisted on taking another year
to gather more community input. He is
planning a series of forums for students and
other community members during May and
June. Flyers will be posted around campus.

Art Costantino has been placed in charge
of dealing with the homeless at
Evergreen. 'Costantino needs to take a
more active role in making the college
more friendly to homeless people. The
first step is to allow safe shelter for
homeless students on campus . .
138 of the 1.000 beds in student
housing are empty right now. Empty
beds earn the college nothing. It's
disgraceful to deny. anyone the right to
shelter when donn space is being wasted.
The three-day loan is simply not
good enough. Three nights isn't enough
time to even unpack and not enough time
to find another place to live.
A few months ago the
administration allowed students to camp
out in the library building in a symbolic
act of solidarity with homeless people.
What about making the space available to
people who really need it?
Homeless people can meet their
own needs if those in power will stop
working against them.

Masturbation is simply a matter of self-pleasure
If one is inexperienced in the art of
masturbation, what is the best method of
learning?
Masturbation is when one touches
one's own body in a way that is sexuaJly
arousing or pleasurable. Learning to
masturbate is a matter of learning to
make love to oneself, or learning to
touch oneself in a pleasurable way.
Our society has historically
considered masturbation to be bad, but in
fact, it is not harmful, and is a heallhy
sexual expression that may have many
benefits. Benefits may include pleasure,
enhanced self-awareness/appreciation/
love, learning to overcome sexual
problems or inhibitions, learning more
about one's body, learning what pleases
oneself and possibly sharing that with
one's partner, enhancing lovemaking
between partners, providing a sexual
outlet when one is alone, providing a
sexual outlet if intercourse is
uncomfortable, etc.
When beginning to masturbate it
may be helpful to find some time alone
in a comfortable place. without
interruptions. This· may make it easier to
relax and focus on physical sensations.
It may also be helpful to create an
atmosphere that one finds comfortable
and relaxing and/or erotic and stimulating ·
by utilizing candles, other lighting,
music, clothing, temperature, etc.
Fantasy, books, movies. pictures,
or sex toys such as dildos, vibrators,
mirrors, feathers, oils, etc. may also be

Persecution has priority over prosecution
During the 1992 presidential
elections, I listened to speeches by
various Republican candidates for the
nomination to the presidency of the
United States. I wasn't shocked by the
pro-business, anti-people remarks that for
me so typified the GOP Patrick Buchanan

xenophobic state-ment I have ever heard.
He asked, "What would you rather have
- 10 Englishmen or a hundred Zulus?"
That's when I decided the policies towards
refugees is a terri ble injustice.
News reporters will say "Boat of
250 Haitians lands on the coast of
Miami," yet we never ask questions
about their lives. We never question why
they're leaving their homeland. We just
send them back and continue to worry
about the problems of our privileged
lives.

New INS policy states that for a
refugee to file a claim it will cost them
$130, and they cannot obtain a work
permit for 180 days. Excuse me, but if
the people in the INS would pull their
head of their ass for a brief second, they
would realize that most people requesting
political asylum don't have $130. If these
refugees did have $130, their
governments would monitor their bank
accounts, as most governments do with
political opponents, and would realize the
person was leaving the country when
they withdrew all their money.
I would like to tell you a story of
one of the people who attempted to seek
political asylum in hopes that the issue
will become more personal to you, and
that the plight of the refugees will never
be thought of as someone else's problem.
Mr. E. fled to the U.S. to escape
persecution in Haiti. The INS jailed him
since he amved without proper
documents.
As a soldier in Haiti's army, Me E.
had to guard the bodies of several
political prisoners who had been
summarily executed. One person survived
the execution and plead for his life. Mr E.
allowed him to escape.
For this, the army detained Mr. E.,
physicaUy abused him and dishonorably
discharged him. When he learned the military was seeking to harm him further, he
went into hiding for several monlhs.
In the U.S. after months in jails
and de't ention centers, an Immigration
judge denied him asylum. The judge

One may try different kinds of
touch: trying different amounts of
pressure, varying amounts of lubrication,
varying strokes from circular to linear.
trying small or large strokes, varying
strokes from slow to rapid, rubbing
against a pillow or other object, etc.
One may try different positions:
lying on one's back with knees bent or
straight, sitting up with legs spread out
or folded beneath oneself, sitting and
leaning back on one or both hands,
leaning on pillows, crossing one's legs
tightly, lying on one's abdomen with one
leg bent up, etc.
One may try different movements:

One may try tightening and

One may insert a finger inLe the
vagina or insert a lubricated finger into
the anus, remaining still or sliding in and
out.
One may also experience orgasm.
In short, there is no right or
wrong way to masturbate, it is simply a
maller of self pleasure. Learning to
masturbate is a matter of becoming
familiar with one's body and with what
one fmds pleasurable.
It is important for one to
remember that it may take time and
experimentation to learn to bring pleasure
to oneself through masturbation. Once
that relationship has been built, however,
it may continue to develop with further
experimentation and may be enhanced by
a developing sense of self love.

Freedom of expression over objectivity?
g
In journalism, it is common
practice for reporters to lie.
It's not that they're routinely trying
to deceive, or that mainstream news
organizations have working agendas
which influence writing in their papers
(though some would argue this is true).
Rather, journalists are taught and
encouraged to write from a mythical
objective standpoint, disguising or
denying any personal bias or even the
influence of perspective on a story.
Except in certain cases (i.e.
"Camarilla denies involvement in Geocon
abduction") and the A&E section, the
CPJ tries very hard to be a "Newspaper."
By this I mean that personal biases and
editorializing are discouraged and/or
removed from most pieces.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not
saying that the CPJ routinely censors its
writers or that opinio~ is discouraged, it's
persec·u tion, from page 4
stated that Mr. E. faced "prosecution"presumably for disobeying orders to kill
the prisoner - not "persecution", and
therefore did not qualify as a refugee.
Amnesty volunteers found Mr. E.
in Laredo, Texas, arranged for his release,
and obtained legal representation for his
appeal. Mr E. eventually received
political asylum after repeated appeals by
AI members and work by his attorney.
Please write House Rep. Jolene

just that opinion is relegated to columns,

Come to think of it, the majority
of the paper is devoted to the freedom of
expression. Wow!
I guess what I'm talking about is
the news section. An attempt is made to
produce a news section which resembles
supposedly objective news sections of
papers such as the New York Times.
There's good reason to try to
remain objective when writing for a large
audience: it encourages one to examine an
issue from many perspectives. This is
certainly a move in the right direction,
but to think that one can cover all the
bases is absurd.
Science for a long time suffered
from the notion that objectivity was
achievable in the laboratory. This notion
was soundly trounced by the Heisenberg
uncertainty principle. This principle says
that the act of observing something
changes it.
Heisenberg revolutionized the
higher sciences and upset their dominance
in the hierarchy of knowledge. Science is
no longer considered perfect or above
criticism. FOI: a long time, the scientific
methods of proofs and truth were envied
and copied by other fields to lend validity
to their own work.
Two such fields are social sciences
and journalism. Both believe that
objectivity is desirable and even
achievable, and both are unwilling to
accept what even the scientific
community accepts, which is that
objectivity is a myth and unachievable.
Even if one can see analyze and report on
all sides of a story, reporting changes it.
Journalism turns events into
stories. The impact of the stoRes on an
audience changes the meanings of the
stories themselves, and even the events of
which the stories were written.
Putting it simply, objectivity is a
fallacy.
For journalism to keep striving
for objectivity is old-school, traditional,
anachronistic. It's an attempt to preserve
a scientific ethic which even the scientific
community has largely abandoned.
The CPJ and other college papers
are in the unique position of being able
to publish without major economic
pressures influencing their content These
papers are free to experiment and
innovate.
If someone wants to learn how to
write for the New YorA:; Times, they don't
come to Evergreen. Likewise, probably
very few people would rely on a source
like The Times for all their news.
The CPJ needs to evaluate what
it's place is in the community and what
kind of reporting can best serve its
contributors and it's audience.
Next year's editor,. Naomi
Ishisaka, has a tough job ahead of her.
The majority of the staff is graduating
and leaving. There is also an opportunity
to change the paper's tone and focus.
She has shown that she can make
things happen. She has a good head on
her shoulders. We look forward to her
using it.

'Queer friendly' is a
sensible option
Recently a letter appeared in
"Response" which espoused what I think are
several erroneous notions. The letter was an
opinion regarding the proposed "queerfriendly" housing, It expressed what seems
to be a coherent take on the issue.
It is not clear how such housing would
constirute 'illegal segregation. It would not
be providing different facilities for anyone,
nor would it be forcing anyone to do
anything. It would simply provide people
with another housing alternative. If vegan
housing and drug/alcohol-free housing are
appropriate options for students, why should
bigotry-free housing be considered
inappropriate? Shouldn't TESC of all places
provide that? Ostensibly, you might say, it
does. The Social Contract provides us all
with non-homophobic housing, right? It also
provides us with a drug-free campus. No
underage drinking here I
There is a good reason why certain
aspects of a potential student's housing
options should be under their control. For
housing to be effective, students must be
satisfied with the particulars of dorm life, Just
as recovering or drug-free students should
have the opportunity to live together to
facilitate domestic harmony, so should
queers. reformed bigots and open minds.
If I understand the process correctly, the
effect will be focused at the level of the dorm
room, not the dorm itself. I do not think it is
reasonable to say that someone should forego
personal security in order to broaden
someone else's horizons. That may be an
admirable sacrifice, but it should be as
voluntary as possible . .
If other demographic populations find
the need for alternative housing
opportunities, it would seem appropriate that
they address the administration with their
concerns. I don't understand what is so
objectionable about this. People exercise this
sort of control over their living situations
every day off-campus. Why should students
seeking on-campus housing endure grab-bag
roommate assignments?
Finally, I wanted to address the notion
that "queer-friendly" housing would serve to
highlight the visibi lity of queers and their
friends, making reconnaissance that much
easier for all the bashers. Why, exactly,
should anyone be hiding? Do bigots have that
much power? Is Evergreen a place where
people need to be wary of who they let know
that they are queer? I hope not.

TEse needs bike
polo, not basketball
I completely agree with Paul
Marcontell (May 5. "Basketball will not
promote cultural diversity at Evergreen").
But when I read the article the week
before about basketball at Evergreen, there
was one phrase that really leapt out at me,
the part about the advantages of having the
" a thlete' s outlook" on campu s, This
statement seemed to imply that the campus
is currently lacking in this outlook, which
struck me as odd. Apparently, people who
participate in intercollegiate soccer,
swimming, and rugby aren't "real" athletes.
The people who play softball or volleyball
or go rock climbing or hiking don't c~unt
either. Nor do the many cyclists here at
Evergreen . Nor do the people that play
racquetball, tennis, etc .... so the participants
in some sports and types of physical activ ity
are considered "real athletes," while the
others simply don't count in the grand
scheme of things. I wou ld guess from this
that spectaJor sports that involve competition
and are really popular on TV count more than
others.
It seems that Evergreen (or somebody
at Evergreen) is attempting to atone for its
sins of originality and deviant behavior by
supporting a sport that is very popular in
mainstream society. Given Evergreen's track
record. this is the worst possible thing the
school could do.
Instead of having people say that
Evergreen is a tree-hugging hippy school,
we'll get people saying that Evergreen is a
tree-hugging hippy school with a shitty
basketball team.
If it is really necessary to start up a new
intercollegiate sport here, than it should be
something new, something on the cutting
edge, something so weird that the NCAA
wouldn't have anything to do with it. My
personal suggestion would be Bike Polo. The
game could be played using small BMX
bikes, croquet mallets, and a lacrosse ball.
An assortment of lacrosse and motorcross
body gear would probably be necessary to
avoid frequent and serious injuries.
Obviously, bike polo is an idea whose
time has come. But realistically speaking,
people will probably be too apathetic to
convince the school as an institution to
develop and promote this sport.
So the way to go for now is probably to
find some bikes and gear and start playing,
and continue to play (say, two or three times
a week) until the Evergreen administration
is forced to recognize bike polo as The Sport
of the 21 st century. Then, on some bright
sunny day when bike polo has taken the
nation by storm, Evergreen will be 'thought
of as "that tree-hugging hippy school where
they invented bike polo."

Basketball brings
economic diversity
In last week's issue of the CPJ, Paul
Marcontell wrote a very engaging forum
piece about the inability of basketball to
promote cultural di versity. While 1 welcome
his comments, I'd like to say that to assume
that basketball is, "not an academic pursuit,"
nor will it contribute to the diversity of this
campus. is elitist to the max.
Sports. while they do have their
mindless tendencies , especially in the
corporate capitalist versions of it, does have
redeeming intellectual qualities. I won't go
into the history and sociology of sports right
now, but those who are interested should go
and take a peek at the GV section in our
library.
My main point is a point of diversity.
Paul Marcontell assumed that basketball
would not, or should not, be a device to create
culrural diversity. Be that as it may,
Marcontell fails to see that there are other
kinds of "diversity," There's the diversity of
not having 3,000 lazy-assed unhealthy poser
intellectuals smoking ganja and talking
about Star Trek. But I won't go into that
today.
I would, however, like to showcase the
other intercollegiate sports that Evergreen
offers. We offer two official sports,
swimming and soccer (football as the real
fans call it) and a myriad of recreational
sports such as rugby, ultimate frisbee and
softball.
Anyone who has either participated in
organized sport or studied it knows that there
are economic divisions in the sports world.
We were all treated to an example of it during
the Tonya and Nancy scandal earlier this
year. We al l know that generally people who
need to survive on food stamps usually don't
go fox hunting or have the funds to playa
round of golf.
In Power and Ideology in American
Sport, George Sage writes , "Restricted
access and class inequalities are inevitable
in many professional and efite amateur
sports because of the enormous amounts of
money needed for quality coaching and
competitive experiences" (39). He continues
to say that, "Elite national and international
level gymnasts, swimmers, figure skaters,
and skiers (to name a few sports) must have
years of private instruction ... in order to
acquire the skills and experience necessary
to achieve elite standing. Here again, low
social class excludes many."
While I am not denouncing the sports
of swimming and soccer, I would like to
point out that swimming and, in this country,
soccer are sports mostly found in middle
class and affluent communities. The funds
for pool time and coaching are often
unattainable for the less fortunate. Soccer,
while played by all economic classes in other
parts of the world, is still a white middle
class suburban phenomenon in the United
States,
Basketball, on the other hand, has a
working class background. According to
Sage, although it was invented on an
American college and was promoted through
higher education it evolved into a city game.
Duh, all you need is a ball, a hoop and a
hard level surface. It is one of the few sports
that is truly accessible to all economic strata.
That is the diversity I'm talking about.
While the need for sports in a collegiate
environment is still debatable - I say it is,
but who am I anyway - I strongly believe
that if we are to support swimming and
soccer, then we must at the very least, give
basketball a chance. For if we do not support
basketball, then we will again demonstrate
to those of the urban communities and the
less affluent communities that we will nof
let them have an opportunity to express
themselves athletically.

Basketball will link .
TESC, community
I hope anyone opposed to a basketball
program here at TESC will read this.
First of all, this program will establish
a liok with the community, This college
(TESC) always seems to hate the community
and vice-versa. This may be fine and dandy,
but when people in the commu nity and the
state at large don't like us as a school which college will get their funding cut,
when the community doesn't care for us and
our style of education? It won't be the U of
W or WSU, it will be us!
When the Tacoma News Tribune runs
their front-page story about how 37 percent
of freshmen don't return, do you think the
average person will think our school is worth
funding?
TESC has become so into itself that it
is not welcoming to outsiders, Having this
terrible relationship with the community and
staying into ourselves so much will
eventually cause our own demise. A
basketball program will help us establish a
good, and much needed, link with the
community.
By not wanting basketball here at
TESC, people are like the "society" we
always criticize: not open to change. By not
having basketball, we will just stay our
"close-minded" utopia (but not for long when
our funding runs dry).

Fry-pushing job lets multiculturalism shine through
by John Munari
I started the four-year Evergreen plan
six years ago. After all of that time, I would
like to share some parting thoughts with you.
The theme for this graduation is "You
want fries with' that ?" The theme suggests
that an unusually large percentage of us new
graduates will be working in the food service
industry before the end of the year.
Well, that might be accurate . For
myself, the theme brings back some good
memories of my time in the food service
industry.
Last fall, I worked in a deli in
downtown Seattle. It was a place where I saw
diverse populations working together. The
food service industry crosses geographic
boundaries and is culturally diverse. We had
employees from eight countries on five
continents.
It was a real education. The lesson I
learned there was important, and the lesson
was this: different kinds of people can work,
play and live together.
At ,Evergreen we have been educated
to appreciate people of different cultures. We
are now expected to utilize this tradition in
our lives as graduates.

to explain the second advantage. He said two
words: "more tolerant."
I am certain that all of us will see the
opportunities for peoples of different
backgrounds to peacefully co-exist. This is
certainly what Evergreen has taught us to
reach for.
I hope that we will each continue to
learn more about the multitudes of cultures,
and that we will foster the interest for
multicultural education in others through our
future occupations.

used to. But nearly all divisions of the college
have been asked to do the same thing without
more money and in some cases, less money.
What are President Jane Jervis and her
trio ofVPs doing about th.e se problems? They
are considering a move to a semester system
and trying to institute varsity basketball
teams.
I don't know about you, but these seem
like even less than the band-aid fixes we're
used to here. Actually, they're outstanding
ex.amples of the direction this college may
head if we allow these ideas to go through.
Will either basketball or semesters
seriously help perceived problem of firstyear students leaving? Not really. Students
don't leave Evergreen because they don't like
the calendar.. They leave because our
programs are lousy and they can't find what
they want. How many times have you looked
at the catalog, found nothing of interest
whatsoever and finally said, "Fuck it, I'll just
do a contract?"
Basketball may keep some students
around but it will never be the end-all fix for
retention troubles.
Students want real curriculum reform.
This college is deluding itself if it thinks that
semesters will magically make for better
programs.
Likewise, it is deluding itself that
basketball will be solely self-supporting even
though it would be run by the CRC who's
budget is currently in the red,
If people want to work at a college that
looks and feels more "professional," with
letter jackets and traditional class schedules,
maybe they should pack up and find one.
In the meantime, they should stop
trying to force Evergreen to regress by taking
the easy way out, instead of doing the hard
work necessary to make this place better.

John discussed things as deep as

us that he spent a good six weeks on the
last bunch. His latest set includes such
charmers as these from the song "Let's

It will be sex, even if it isn't. It will be
sex, even if only in theory, even if it's only
pantomime, even if it's just a memory, or a
dream or a symphonic approximation.
John enjoys the free form , stream of
consciousness bits, and it's become almost
his trademark.
King Missile became known in circles
a bit wider than college radio for their song
"Detachable Penis." In it, John depicts what
a typical weekend is like when one has a
detachable penis.

Reviewing zines is a really strange
thing to do. Zines are supposed to be
underground; digging them up, analyzing
and exposing them to the light of public
scrutiny runs the risk of destroying
everything that is powerful about them.
But we love this shit - we love to read
zines and we love to write about it.
In the last few years, big media has
been digging up a lot of zines, looking for
the latest cool thing to capitalize on, but the
truth and freshness of the underground is lost
on commercial media. Some people have
called this a raid, threatening to destroy
what's going on by exposing it.
Once the raid is over I think the
underground will only be stronger.
I'm So Fucking Beautiful #2
This zine is an intensely personal but
uncompromisingly political exploration of
fat oppression. It feels like reading
someone's diary; that's what makes ISFB so
powerful. " .. .fat oppression is a form of
il1stitutionalized oppression." It'll throw
back in your face every fucked up, negative
stereotype about the way you judge other
people's bodies and your own. ISFB has
gotten a lot of attention lately by the
mainstream media; it may be one of the most
important zines around. But when I talked
to Nomy about it, it sounded like not all the
attention has been friendly. If you don't know
what I'm talking about, you should talk to
Nomy. Copies are available at Rainy Day
Records or write to Nomy Lamb, TESC,

some, he was genuinely interested and

He turned down a few invitations

When asked by a certain CPJ

pivotal role in the fine flick The

an excellent review) , his
" response was, "Oh yeah?"
in that dog tired voice he
has, "I haven't seen it."
But such . condescending
attitude can be taken from a tired man
who is trying to be polite while still fighting
to stay awake. Especially after he had given
such an entertaining perfonnance. And, as
novelistlonathan Carroll once wrote, "If you
can wish for anything in this world, wish to
be called a genius, because geniuses can get

"When we first arrived at this lovely
formal affair I noticed a well-dressed
individual (with a colorful tie and typical
chaperon short hair) slowly circling us,
apparently trying to ascertain our worthiness
of the event. As it turns out, it appears we
failed the quality inspection.
After we were di smi ssed from the
internal festivities we made our own dance
floor on red square, complete with slow
dancing and moshing to such classics as The
Pet Shop Boys, ACIDC, The Village People,
Metallica, and, yes, even Nirvana. Needless
to say, we immediately formed a mournful
circle dance in commemoration of the late
great Cobain. for which we received many
baneful and embarrassed glares from the
grown-ups at this auspicious affair. " - Mo
Eventually, the dance ended and our
adventures carried us elsewhere, but the
warm fuzzy spot we all carried away from
the experience didn't fade until several days
later .. .
