DTF proposes women's and men's basketball teams

~tIj

by Sara Steffens
Two students attended a forum held by
the Basketball DTF Tuesday - one to
support the DTF's recommendation that
Evergreen start basketball teams and one to
oppose it.
The DTF, which began meeting in April
of 1992, recommends that Evergreen
establish women's and men's intercollegiate
basketball teams for the 1995-96 academic
year. The money to operate the team. they
say, would intitially come from a special CRC
fund. but they hope the team would
eventually become self-supporting (see
related story).
DTF members say the teams would "b'e'
of definite benefit towards enhancing the
cultural diveristy of the campus," and
improve Evergeen's image in the surrounding
community.
Kristopher Brannon, a second-year
student who attended the forum, agrees.
"It seems like Evergreen just basically
gets a bad rap because of the kind of teaching
that goes on here," he said. "} would love to
take part in the Evergreen basketball
program ... I feel that to establish this school
as being reputable, you need programs that
are reputable to the community as well as to
the school. A basketball program would bllild
a bridge between the Evergreen College and

the community."
Joe Beers. the other student
who attended the forum, does not
believe the teams would benefit
Evergreen. "I play basketball
regularly - I'm a huge fan - I
love to play it, love to watch it,"
he said, but continued, "I don't
feel the need to justify my
education to the community."
Don Miles. the DTF's
community representative and a
long-time Olympia resident, said,
"There's a lot of reason to believe
that basketball would be more
popular with the community than
the college is ... The college would
be better respected if it produced
at least a team that' was at least
competitive."

Salaries for three of President Jane
Jervis's staff increased as part of a planned
reorganization. Jervis confirmed this week
in her weekly open meeting in the CAB.
Attending the meeting were several
staff members angered by ru mors of
disproportionate raises in the President's
Office at a time when most college staff are
being asked to do more work with no extra
pay.
. Judy Huntley. head of Regi stration and
Records. was at the meeting Monday and
said that even after-Jervis explained the
salary increases, "People are still upset. It
still hurts."
The reorganization was planned during
last spring's budget cuts. Jervis stressed that
the salary increases were not raises but
compensation for new duties and titles. _
"These adjustments in salary were not
being made because people were working
harder. they were made because people's
span of responsibility was significantly
changed." Jervis said in an interview.

According to CRC Director Pete

by Paul MarconteU
The Northwest International Lesbian
and Gay Film Festival, now in its seventh
year, has appealed a decision by the Services
and Activities (S&A) Board not to award any
funds to the Festival this year.
This is the first time the Festival has
had its S&A funding request turned down.
At a Services and Activities meeting on
April 4, representati ves of the Festi val came
forward duri.ng the pubiic forum asking the
S&A Board to reconsider its decision.
The S&A Board cited two main reasons
for turning down the Festival's request for
funding. The first is that, according to the
, submitted budget. it appeared tha~ the Film
Festival was going to make a $7,335 profit,
as well as already having received $1,400
from other S&A funded student groups. The
second reason given for refusing the funding
request was that the Film Festival had not
reached a "mutually acceptable" resolution

with the Evergreen Queer Alliance (EQA);
their chief on-campus sponsor, regarding the
name of the event.
In responding to these reasons, Michael
MacIntosh from the Film Festival said that
the initial budgetary figures were incomplete
and did not cover later expenses. A revised
budget. presented at the meeting. showed a
$450 profit. which he claimed was set aside
to fund early expenses for next year's
festival. However. according to MacIntosh.
even that figure might not be accurate
because at least two student groups had been
forced to )oVithdraw their funding of the
Festival due to their own lack of funds.
MacIntosh also said that differences
with the EQA had been sorted out.
According the S&A Board members,
since the Film Festival is not a student group,
it needs to make any funding requests
through an S&A recognized student group.
in this case the EQA . Since no EQA

representatives or documentation were at the
meeting, the S&A Board could not act on
the new information and Festival organizers
would have to confer with the EQA prior to
making another request for funding.
Jules Sibbern. EQA co-coordinator,
stated at a later meeting that. although the
EQA hadn't worked out all of its differences
with the Film Festival, they support it and
are working on strengthening their future
relationship with the Film Festival. Camilla
Eckersley, also an EQA co-coordinator.
agreed. saying that they are trying to focus
on working Qooperatively with the Festival.
The S&A Board echoed this sentiment
as well, saying that they "encourage greater
student participation in the planning and
implementation offuture film festivals ."
MacIntosh says the S&A Board has not
told him if they will agree to fund the Festival
since hearing the appeal.

rate trimmed 4°k
W ASHINGTON- The rise in seasonal
jobs helped Washington trim its
unemployment rate from 7.5 percent in
February to 7.1 percent in March,
Employment Security Commissioner
Vernon E. Stoner announced today.
The state cited warm weather as
having a positive impact on seasonal
layoffs.
"The seasonal influences were
obvious on the employment side," said
the Department's chief economist, Dennis
Fusco. "Non-farm wage and salary
employment jumped by 13,200 workers
over the month, a healthy springtime
addition but less than the 20,000 average
monthly gain from February to March ."
he said.

OL YMPIA- According to the Medical
Examiners and Coroners Alert project,
infants and toddlers can drown in rive
gallon buckets.
It says, "Large buckets and young
children can be a deadly combination."
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC) estimates that
annually about 50 toddlers drown in
buckets containing liquid used for
mopping floors and other chores.
According to the report, children
arc naturally curious and easily attracted
to water. CPSC believes that bucket
drownings happen when children arc left
unattended, crawl to a bucket, pull
themselves up and lean forward to reach
for an object or play in the water.

Other Library staff have called the
pigeons "rats with wings" that leave big
piles of shit.
The droppings must be cleaned up
before outdoor functions like Super
Saturday or receptions on the President's
office balcony. Grounds must be called in

According to Leago, the birds are
damaging the third floor balconies
oUL~ide the President' s office, pooping on
hand rails and windows, and dirtying the
ground noor walkways and common
smoking areas. People walking outside
the building stand a chance of "being
bombed," he said. There are also air
quality concerns about the pigeon fecal
dust circulating in the Library building.
Steve Herman, TESC facuIty and
bird specialist, says that the pigeons are
not a health problem. The threat of
disease is not a real hazard, "it's more
dangerous to drive to work than to be
exposed to pigeon poop," he·said;
Herman does acknowledge the
pigeons can be messy and aggravating
but he and others say the college must
not threaten native bird species. "We can

not afford to lose one more native bird,"
a member of the Environmental Advisory
Committee insisted.
Many birds have been damaged and
even killed from the use of bird repellent
Herman and Leago said. Bird repellent
does not just effect targeted species but
also non-target native birds. Herman and
Leago worked together to retrieve the
Flicker that died after being entrapped in
bird repellent.
Leago, Herman, the Environmental
Advisory Committee, and the
Environmental Health and Safety Office
are all working together to find solutions
to "the pigeon issue." B.esides using
more bird repellent, other options have
been proposed. The college could buy
one of those big eye ball things or a fake
owl, but these have been criticized as
ineffective. One person even suggested

was applied by Facilities last year to
irritate pigeons nesting in the eaves of
the north side of the Library building.
Despite the use of "Hot Foot," the
pigeons are still nesting and they are still
leaving feces.
.
Some third floor office workers
enjoy the pigeons but cleaning up after
the non-native birds is overworking an
understaffed Facilities crew.
In February, Facilities suggested
using another bird repellent known as
"Adios," but some faculty and staff were
concerned about its toxicity.
George Leago of Facilities said he
would like to see the birds move from the

with the Laura Love Band.
One series of notable workshops
were given by Mark Goldowitz, a lawyer
who fights what are known as SLAPPs
(Strategic Lawsuits Against Public
Participation ).
Corporations often bring these
lawsuits against citizens who speak out
against toxic waste dumps, development,
mining, or logging. Corporations try to
sue protestors for the profits they would
have made. Whether or not a SLAPP
suit is successful, it can cost an activist
thousands of dollars in legal fees or
frighten others from speaking out, says
Goldowitz.
t Brett Clubbe, a sllmmit participant,
said three Evergreen students are being
SLAPPed by a logging corporation for
fighting the biggest timber sale ever
offered in the history of the Northern

Rockies. The wild area in central Idaho
in the Nez Perce National Forest known
as Cove Mallard, is pan of the largest
remaining road less area in the lower 48
states.
Hundreds of people used civil
disobedience to fight the destruction of
the fragile ecosystem, some of them
buried themselves to their necks in roads
and chained themselves to machinery to
stop bulldozers. Fifty people were
arrested and jailed.
The acts of civil disobedience
didn't totally stop the logging sale, said
Clubbe, but civil disobedience is
intended Lo bring attention to problems.
The Cove Mallard Coalition based
in Moscow, Idaho, is sponsoring a march
to save the wilderness on June 4 and will
be providing educational hikes and
picnics all summer long for those who
want to get involved. The Cove Mallard
Coalition, which does not advocate civil
disobedience, can be reached at PO Box

about Evergreen's ability to produce a

the athletes to stan a program where we go

In the past, the belief that basketball
would enhance cultural diversity has been a
controversial one. A rarely spoken but
underlying message is that inter-collegiate
basketball teams would attract more AfricanAmerican students to Evergreen.
Brannon says the teams would not only
contribute to Evergreen's ethnic diversity, but
also to its economic diversity. He believes

students to compensate for Evergreen's high
numbers of white, wealthy middle class
students. "As a young black male, when I
walk on this campus I want to be able to see
another black man and say hi," he said.
CRC Director Pete Steilberg feels that
basketball will attract culturally diverse
spectators and players. "There was a time
when I diet !lot want intercollegiate sports
here myself," he said, "But the fact is we are
quite homogenous - it's kind of sick. It does
not do us any harm to have some athletes
here." He said that basketball is a popular
sport among Native Americans as well as
African Americans.
One DTF member pointed out that
diversity need not be viewed only in terms
of ethnicity. Athletes, she said, sometimes
have a different mind-set than the average
Evergreen student.
Costantino, Steilberg, and women's
soccer coach Jan Smisek say they aren't
worried about basketball interfering with
student's academic work. "Most women 's
soccer players will tell you they do better in
their classes during the season, because they
are more alert and manage their time belter,"
said Smisek.

Student tells of her experience in caravan to Cuba
by Tony Pelaez
The dilemma in Cuba has been the
focus of much attention involving the media,
speakers. and fundraising events. In order to
get a clearer picture of the conditions in
Cuba. I spoke to Angela Marino, a senior at
Evergreen, who decided to take action as a
member of the 3rd Friendshipment by
Pastors for Peace bringing supplies to Cuba
across an embargo erected by US policy.
In the interview, Angela. who had just
arrived from her trip, was energetic and
inspired by her experiences with Cuba.
Hall' did YOII become in volved in the
Friendshipment?
I have been imerested in Cuba for a few
years and through this interest. I heard about
Pastors for Peace. It was important for me to
support direct action against a U.S. policy
which is trying to squeeze Cuba into
submi ssion in order to establish
"democracy." or perhaps more accurately
·'intervention." Through my family.
alternat ive news tracks and the support of
faculty with the Famous Greener Indio;:
Contract, I was able to work it all in together
for academic credit. Being a participant in
the caravan followed a lot of reading,
research. and discussions about Cuban
economy. politics. and the arts.
Why Cuba?
The country is 50 miles from our
southern borders and we're inundated with
contradictions about it from both sides of the
spec trum- 1 figured there must be
something good going on there if the U.S.
had such vested interest to destroy it. But
that's just the rational answer. The
achievements of that tiny island are
incredible; they range from hospitals using
herbal medicines to bicycles as alternative
transportation . They had a people,'
revolution and it's continuing-with examples
of both problems and successes that we ' ll
face when the revolution happens here.
What was your role in the caravan?
Caravanistas were asked to speak about
Cuba Solidarity work in their own cities. we
also spoke at press conferences. documented
activity. discussed politics and shared
information about other issues both in public
and private meetings. I drove. carried aid.
spoke at meetings and press conferences.
learned. supported and criticized; laughed.
listened. and cried. helped with odd jobs and
the main job- being one of many.
Whw were the reactions of people:'
We generated a lot of support the whole
way Jown both in th e U.S. and through
MeXICO. People would honk at us and salute
as tho;:y sipped on McDonalds To Go packs
and others would pass sage and trade peace
symbols or bumper stickers. It depended on
the community; in Portland we were hosted
by the Quaker Friends and met with activists
in Radic al Women and Nicaraguan Solidarity
work . in Los Angeles we were hosted by
CAMBIO and shared solidarity with Latinos
working for immigrant rights. in San Joaquin
Val ley we sliared support with Chicano
farm workers and earth activists. in Phoenix

we met with African American youths who
spoke at our potluck meeting in tribute to
Cuba, in Laredo we sang "Juantanamera"
with the locals and did street theater... There's
so much in a glance: fear, silent support,
suspicion. apathy, admiration. or despair.
There had been talk of the U.S. government
stopping the caravan
at the Texas-Mexican
border. Were there any
problems.?
When we crossed
the border the first
time. electronic item s.
including a satellite
dish were turned back
by the U. S. border
police. The situation
was very tense and got
to the point that if you
were sta nding in the
wrong pla ce you
would be subject to
arrest. We decided to
continue traveling to
Cuba despite the
shortfall so we could more effectively
organize another attempt to get the satellite
dish and other confiscated goods across.
What were the other conjiscGled goods?
Toasters. typewriters. radios, etc
Y'know, someone told me that you can make
a bomb out of a toaster which is probably
true. But there is an important factor to keep
in mind . Cuba is not posing a "military
threat" to the United States- it's common
knowledge that the U.S. plays the mightmakes-right. bully-on-the-block in Latin
America. and so it's absurd to justify
confiscating goods- (and the embargo
itself!) on the premise that basic electronics
going to Cuba will lead to a mil.itary assault
on "our way of life." Or perhaps. after seeing
life in Cuba, I could say, "our way of death."
Were you jinally able to get the remaining
tlrings across?
Yes. but not without a few hitches. One
pickup truck was confiscated and Camillo
Garcia and Reverend Lucius Walker who
were in the truck were roughed up and
forcefully arrested . It was strange that the
police weren ' t doing anything to stop us

when we were in numbers. but as soon as
Rev. Walker drove up-- not even up to the
gate- they blocked the car, hauled them out
on the ground, pushed cameras out of
people's hands. and tried to block everyone's
view of what was happening. To the camera
there was a smile and claim they were ·
defending the law to
protect us. when at the
same time, they ' re
slamming people on the
pavement- that's a lie!
The fae, ,hat national
media didn't do the
story is a cover-up!
On the Laredo
local news. after our
demonstration and
success in getting the
satellite dish and some
typewriters ,
word
processors, and radios
across, the customs
official looked square in
the camera and said ,
"[Frankly, we didn 't see
them cross because our attention was on
northbound traffic. but 1 suspect they were
sneaking it across]," when in fact, there were
over 200 people waving huge banners and
signs, shouting in unison directly in front of
the customs office. Were they sleeping?
Fretting?
So, what did you jind in Cuba?
More than I could ev.er say in this
interview. Life! Aaacckk! People are trying
to survive an economic downfall four times
as hard as the great depression was in our
country- from just the past two years! On
an empty stomach. they were still dancing.
With tears in her eyes. a woman proudly
stood in front of ireI' house; before the
revolution she was the maid. I don't mean to
glorify this beyond belief- but I found this
reality. I also found people who were
dissatisfied with the system, some who were
scam ming on the system. others who were
just trying to get by.
YOIl mentioned to me earlier that you lVere
all a radio stGlion. What was that all about ?
I was asked to be a part of a panel
discussion on Radio Ciudad in Havana. What

It's absurd to justify

The CRC itself is funded by several
sources. In 1993-94, it received $188,000
from .the State General Fund. The State
General Fund is the money the state gives
Evergreen to operate; it is also used. for
instance, to hire teachers, staff members and
maintainance workers.
The CRC also re<oeived $128,228 for
general operations this year from the S&A
Board, used primarily to pay student
employees. The S&A Board allocates student

The CRC earns about $150.000 a year

But some staffers question that
reasoning and wonder what else could have
been done wilh the money.

coordinator. said, "It just doesn't seem fair.
Why do we have less custodians this year
than we had last year and the Third Floor
gets another raise? 1 think it's poor taste . I
think it 's real bad timing and sends a real
bad message and it's just poor taste. And it 's
angering the students."
Darice Johnson. student and
coordinator for the Services and Activities
(S&A) board said, "They [the college
administration] already have a stigma of not
relating to students and staff and faculty just
being isolated on the third floor. This kind
of thing just makes it worse. They get this
raise while other areas of the college are just
struggling to get by."
Jervis said that diverting the funds to
other parts of the college, "would have been
to make a decision that we were downgrading
and shrinking the development operation at
a time when I think. if anything, we should
be expanding it."
The Development office is the
operation that finds donors and benefactors
for student scho larships and college
programs.
When asked how she felt Monday' s
meeting went as far as being heard by Jervi s.
Huntley said, "Yes she did listen, she listened
very intently.... She didn't say the things we
all dreamed she would say, but that's only
right.. .. What we're hoping is that what she
heard was that she needs to be more up front
and communicative with us. She neetis to let
us know what's going on. And we don't need
to hear it through a rumor mill."

cited the Market's vast offering of organic
goods as a factor in its success. Unlike
major
supermarkets,
whose
internationally imported produce has a
freshnes~ of seven to nine days, produce
found at the Farmer's Market is often sold
within 24 hours of harvest.
The Market is a nine-month affair,
beginning the first Saturday in April and
running to the last Sunday before
Christmas. It is currently open Saturday
and Sunday. 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. To the
benefit of all of us who jones for the

The Olympia Farmer's Market
consists of 170 venders, each of which
holds its own business licence. The
Market itself is managed by a nonprofit
corporation, The Farmer's Market
Association, who set up the general rules
for market operation. Each vender,
however, has the freedom to run their
business as they please.
Outside of the homey atmosphere
and wonderfully fresh foods the Market
provides, it also takes an active role in
community support. For example, it is
involved with the state WIC program,
which provides mothers on welfare with
coupons redeemable for market goods. Its
mere presence in Olympia is good for
local businesses, bringing in nearly 5,000

they were really interested in knowing was
how do U.S. youth see their own social
system and what do they think about Cuba.
They hung onto every word as I told them
about the benefit show we had at Thekla in
February. They were excited to hear that there
were popular bands playing and that young
people were dancing and showing solidarity.
It was an emotional moment for them to
know there was this kind of solidarity
between youth. The Latin American Student
Organization put together some music
compilation tapes. So I gave them to a few
of my friends that I met there and they loved
them. You could tell that the solidarity was
crossing borders and it was happening by the
things young people are interested in.
What do you see the future being in terms of
the embargo and as a member of the
international community?
My role here is to share what I know
about Cuba and work towards ending the
embargo from within the U.S. Che Guevara
said that the struggle must happen from the
heart of the beast. Imagine how difficult it is
to change U.S. policy from Cuba. even when
they'd give theirlives for it! We need to learn
from history and realize that fascism is
knocking at the door and the linoleum floor
tiles of "Middle America" are cracking. Then
what? Do you commit suicide or stand up
and fight?
As far as what will happen in Cuba.
that's for Cubans to decide. They are
constantly evaluating their revolution and it
is a society with many different points of
view. But it remains: to be truly revolutionary
is admirable. That is to fight against
oppression. to think of others before yourself.
to share food and health and life. to be
conscious, to be tolerant. to live with the earth
rather than to conquer it. and to strive for
human rights and dignity for all peopl e.
History has already absolved them .

The theoretical A&E continuum~ explained by specifically Dan
It seems that every so often
something happens that freaks out people
in government, sending them out in front
of thc cameras screaming for some sort of
new regulation of the media. There's
always 100 much of one message being
sent (bad language, sex, violence, etc.)
and not eno ugh of another (valucs,
morals, ctc.).
Entertainment media are often seen
as the most influe ntial drivers for th e
shape society takes, and in truth they
probably are. People spe nd more time

Fay to be caned in Singapore
If your only news source were the
mainstream media, you would be
eomp letely oblivious to the horrifying
practice called caning.
Recently caning has made its way
into the mainstream media because
Mic hael Fay, a white middle c lass m<tle
from the United States will soon be
caned in Singapore for a some vandalism
he confessed LO.
It is very tragie that it takes the
canin g of a white male to bring allention
to the ev il practice of caning, a practice
that happens daily around the world .
Regardless of the current circu mstances,
yo ur action is urgently needed; not just
for Michael Fay but for all the viClims
who suffer the pains of this horrible
pmctice.
For those of you who don't know
exactly what c<tn ing en tail s: First a
protcctive pad is placed around the groin
and kidneys to protcct from liver damage.
Then the prisoner is bem over a bar

martial arts expert wets the cane which is
five feet long and a half of an inch wide.
Then the strokes begin. After the first
stroke, the skin splits and after the third
stroke, the buttocks arc covered in blood.
Caning leaves both physical and
mental scars. Past caning victims tell how

mind long after it's over."

Unfortunately, in this cou ntry
legislation is seen as a solution to most

Hopefully a temporarily e nlightened
S upre mc Court will decm th em

So wc arc Icrt wi th th e question:
can we ask for the "creative" e lement (i .e.
writers, musicians) in the enterta inment
induslrir s to se lf-regulate? At what point
are we interfering with the "freedom of
exp ress ion " of th t; "arli sls"'1
What we' re looking al is what I
lik e to ca ll the artist-entQrLainer
conllnuum. At onc ellll. is a hYPolhetic al
anisl crealing sole ly I'or hi s or her self, at
th r othcr is the hypothetical entertainer
creati ng sole ly for the consumption of
others. Few people fall at the OUler edges
of this spectrum , most famous people
filII to wards the entertainer end.
A few weeks ago the Seallle
Chief of Police chastised the late Kurt
Cobain for setting a bad example for the
kids.
Set aside the issue of idol
worship, and how problematic our
socie ty is when dealing with the personal
lives of celebrities, and ask yourself,
what did Kurt owe us? What sort of
agreement did we have with him that he
broke by ending his life? What was his
responsibility to us and why?
Entertainers have a responsibi lity
10 the public. They perform for us and
we pay their salaries. As part the public's

contract with them, they should serve up
a show which is fulfilling but
responsible to the social needs of their
audience.
Artists are different; Lhey create
for themselves. We owe artists the
respect they deserve for letting us into
their worlds. We owe artists the ability to .
work and to conduct their lives in private.
If we want to pay them so that they can
devote their full time and attention to
their work, we should expect nothing but
honesty in return.
The
government
doesn't
understand this. Jesse Helms wants to
turn the National Endowment for the Arts
into th e National Endowment for
Publicly Responsible Entertainment.
The reason for this is that some
people don't understand that an is
inherently a personal endeavor. We
should s upport it as olle of many ways to
docum e nts o ur cu lture, and allaching
s trin gs to that s upport defeats the
purpose.
The artist-entertainer continuum
is obviously problematic. Our view is
constantly obscured by the fact that we
want to be lieve that the en tertainer is
speaking from the heart anel that the artist
is speaking LO us.
Until as a society we can
differentiate between the arts and
entertainment, the Jesse Helmses and the
Janet Renos are going to find little
resisUlnce when they try to shove their
version of cultural reality down our
throats.

and has a wide handle to prevent it from
slipping entirely into the rectum (the part
of the large intestine just inside the
anus).
Some safer sex tips that apply to
using sex toys include:
o If sex toys are shared they may
transfer blood, semen, or vaginal fluids
that contain sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs) from one person to another.
Using latex condoms with shared sex
toys may prevent the transmission of
many STDs.
oWhen using latex condoms with
sex toys, it is important to use a waterhased lubricant such as Slippery Stuff or
K-Y Jelly instead of an oil-based

lubricant such as Vaseline. Oil based
lubricants cause latex ID break down .
oA sex toy that has been inserted
into the anus should be cleaned with soap
and water or covered with a latex condom
before being inserted into the vagina or
coming in contact with the area outside
the vaginal and urinary openings. Normal
bacteria from the rectum that enters the
vagina or urethra may cause or create
conditions that lead to an infection such
as a urinary tract infection or a yeast
infection.

What is a dildo?
A dildo is an object that may be
inserted into the anus or vagina, or
rubbed on the genitals or body during
masturbation or sex with a partner.
Dildos are available at sex shops or
by mail order in a variety of sizes, colors,
shapes, materials and styles. '
A cucumber is an example of a
natural dildo. The outer skin of a
cucumber 'may be peeled to modify its
size and shape, to utilize its moistness,
or ID create a handle by leaving a portion
of the outer skin intact.
Fruits or vegetables that are used as
dildos should be washed to remove
pesticides.
Other objects should be washed as
well and s hould be unlikely to damage
ti ss ue by splintering, breaking, etc.
Objects with openings, such as plastic
hOllIes, should be sealed or inserted wilh
the opening away from the body to avoid
creating a vacuum which may cause
removal to be hannful.
Vibr<ttors and anal plugs are
<Ii llerent than dildos. A vibrator is
powered by batteries or electricity (has an
electrical cord), and vibrates. An anal
plug may be vibrating or non-vibrating

Queer housing is
illegal segregation
I am writing this letter in response to
the article titled "Coalition asks Evergreen
to offer more services to queer students." I
agree with many of the goals that the
Coalition for Queer Concerns has proposed.
I do feel that more has to be done to educate
people on the daily discrimination that queer
people have to go through. However, I
strongly disagree with the creation of "queer
friendly" housing.
The Coalition for Queer Concerns
wants the housing application form to include
three optional yes / no boxes. One would be
to have non-homophobic housing, the other
to be queer specific, and the last to be put on
the Evergreen Queer Alliance's mailing list.
The first two of these options would creljte
segregation. As most Greeners should know,
Segregation in public accommodations has
been illegal since the Civil Rights Act of
1964.
If we do get "queer friendly" housing
at Evergreen, what would stop some other
group from declaring their kind of friendly
housing? We could have all sorts of friendly
housing fat. differently happy,
Republican. Communist, geek, druid, etc.
The list would be endless. Evergreen could
even offer clas ses on the politics of being fat
or differently happy.
"Queer friend ly" housing would also
make the queers at Evergreen bigger targets
then they already are. Now the bigots in the
outside community would know where to go
on campus to perform hate crimes against
queers. I also believe that what homophobic
studen ts there are would feel alienated and
thus would generate backlash . Mass backlash
against queers is the last thing that Evergreen
needs to contend with.
I was amazed the Coalition for Queer
Concerns promoted diversity and segregation
at the same time. I feel that diversity would
be hindered by the queers separating
themselves from the rest of the community.
The term homophobic is too "politically
correct." Are straight bigots really fearful of
queers? I personally have not seen any
fundamentalist run when he sees some queer
who has come out of the closet. I think we
need a better name for this. I would
personall y like to return to the classic term
bigot.
What I am saying is we need to preserve
what little we have of a community at
Evergreen . The last thing we need is a
housing area where we are all in our own
splinter groups . It is too bad that this would
be wished for.

Peaceful resistance
was Gandhi's tool
In response to "Shutting up is n'ot peaceful
resistance:"
Well Mr. Walsh, why was it that my
article on April 7 got you so upset? Was that
your ego was hurt or youjust could not accept
so meone else's opinion or was it that you
were truly passionate about the issue at hand.
There are a few important things that I
should cover for you to better understand the
iss ue that I so obviously made clear in my
article . First I will start on the personal level
of the slander remark that I am "writing so
poorly" and "incomprehensible at times and
de mo nstrating ;J complete lack for other
opinions."
If I am like you say Mr. Walsh
"incomprehensible," then why was it that you
restated my point in your response and that
yo u were so terribly upset with the article?
For furt her knowledge, the purpose of an
editoria l writer is to get their point across
and to hopefully inspire someone . Seeing that
I have accomplished both of these tasks you
might want to further think about your
stateme nt.
As for the point that I am
"demonstrating a complete lack for other
opinions:" On the contrary sir, I am
demonstrating a very fine respect for others
opinions. A perfect example of this is that [

am writing this response to your response, if
I had not respected your opinion I would have
thrown your response out with the' trash.
The second issue which seems to need
clarification is the idea that "this sort of
peaceful resistance led to the Holocaust in
Germany." I am sorry if it is rather hard for
me to find the parallel between a college
campus and Nazi Germany. But if I am to
get your statement correct, then the reason
for the Holocaust was because Jews and nonAryans did not revo lt against the
government. If this is the statement you are
trying to get across then you might want to
check your history books .
The government that voted Hitler and
the Nazi party into office (Weimar Republic)
was one of the most democratic governments
in modem history. It was not until Hitler was
elected to the post of Chancellor that
Germany's government became a totalitarian
government. This by no means makes what
happened right, it only shows that the
German people did not clearly see what was
coming in time.
If peaceful resistance is such a terrible
thing which you seem to believe, then why
did this type of action free a nation from
oppressive rule? The nation I am speaking
of is India. It was the work of Gandhi and
his use of passive resistance that helped free
the people of India from harsh British rule.
Yet for myself to even have to bring up
these obvious facts is making this an "insipid,
moronic article." For the fact that you even
compare Nazi Germany and The Evergreen
State College seems to make this necessary.
By no means was my original article intended
to cover as · large a scope as you seemed to
wish it would, Mr. Walsh. For it was only
intended for a small minute place in western
Washington. Also, it is merely an idea
borrowed from another college to help open
our minds, not gospel written in stone.

Jokes about suicide
are truly disturbing
This is in response to the comments and
"jokes" surrounding what was written about
Kurt Cobain's suicide. Specifically the
comment "Oh, God, why couldn't it have
been Eddie Vedder?" and the reactions stated
about Cobain's suicide are what prompted
this letter. These are two things written in
the Cooper Point Journal this year that truly
disturbed us for the first time .
Suicide is not something to be made fun
of. nor is the idea of exchanging or wishing
for one human's suicide over another's .
Suicide is when someone kills themselfwhen
they feel and belief that they can not live with
their pain and suffering any longer.
It is a life long struggle offeeling alone,
helpless, and hopeless. Some people get
through life and die naturally. Some people
can·t. they choose to leave at age 59, 27, 15
or sometimes later or sometimes earlier.
What people who commit suicide feel is real
and it hurts. It really hurts. I (Greg) know.
My dad committed suicide three years ago,
one week from his 60th birthday. Just seven
days away from his birthday and he couldn't
go on. I know how he felt because he told
me and I at this same time had notions about
committing suicide myself. What stopped me
was his suicide. It made me stop and ask
"why and how can humans live with so much
pain?" Why couldn't my dad's life been less
difficult, filled with more hope, happiness?
Instead of killing myself I decided I would
try and help people who have the same
feeling me and my father had, get over them
by realizing they are notalone and this can
be a source of hope and help.
And to those who commented that Kurt
was and suicide is selfish - Suicide Is Not
SeUish. A person contemplating suicide is
asking in a powerful and desperate way for
human kindness, compassion, love which
they need, and that's being selfish? Think
of how a person contemplating suicide would
react to hearing, "You're selfish!" My
(Kelly) best friend tried to kill herself - she
was not selfish - she was hurting. If I had
responded to her by saying, "I can't believe
you tried that, you are so selfish!" that would
have been mean and selfish of me, not her. I

hope those of you who said that suicide and
Kurt are selfish were saying . that out of
ignorance and/or in respopse to your hurt or
angry feelin,gs of imagining someone close
to you killing himlherself. First and foremost
we are individuals. If we can't function or
survive on our own even with someone's
help - it isn't selfish - it's sad.

lEse should not
lower flags for Nixon
To the Evergreen community,
As a Native person, [ find it rather
offensive that Evergreen chooses to honor
this fellow Nixon by lowering flags to half
mast. Evergreen has committed itself to
becoming a diverse community, lowering
these flags (symbols of oppression for many
people) to half mast does nothing more than
reinforce Evergteen's commitment to
oppression. Nixon's relations with Native
communities was not always honorable. Why
must we as people of all colors be forced to
honor racist, bigoted individuals simply
because they die? Nixon was a mass
murderer, following in the footsteps of
people like columbus, cortez, washington,
jefferson, jackson ...

that we will scurry in fear, I say nay. we will
scurry bravely toward s victory, towards an

Now that these points have been cleared
up, I would like to make it known to the
campus cOJpmunity the two central aims of
the Peoples' Republic of Blattaria:
oAn equal redistribution of all food
products on campus, with every apartment
and crevice receiving its fair share.
-An end to all insect genocide,
including the destruction of the weapons used
to carry out this genocide.
We are willing to hold further meetings
with the five rogue nations of Evergreen to
attempt to determine how they may step out
of our way peacefully, but if they continue
to hinder our plans, Blattaria's elite troops
may be forced to eradicate them one by one.

This is the text of a petition which is
currently being circulated. Please read it and
sign if you feel that you can do so.
We, the undersigned students, are
strongly opposed to a switch to an early
semester calendar unless an outside
consultant is hired and concludes that this
change will be in the best interest of a
majority of the members of The Evergreen
State College.
During the faculty meeting of April 13,
1994, the faculty voted 49 to 41 to change to
an early semester calendar. Several reasons
were given at this meeting and in the report
prepared by the Academic Deans. Many of
these reasons are pedagogical. . We
understand that there are pedagogical issues
which support both the semester and the
quarter systems; certain classes wiII work
better under one system while others will
work better under the other. Subjects such
as creative writing may be more effective
under a semester calendar, but on the other
hand, a student would need an incredible
amount of self-motivation to survive a 15-

redistribute all campus food products
This is in response to the report that
appeared in last week's Cooper Point
Journal. ("Peace Talks Fail," April 21). In
this article. several crude attempts at the
lowest sort of mudslinging were made:
-In the listing of the Heads-of- State
present at the April 14 summit meeting, our
nation was referred to erroneously as "The
Republic of Blattaria," suggesting that we
are merely another power- hungry, tyrannical
nation-states. This couldn ' t be further from
the truth . As the PEOPLES' Republic of
Blattaria, we are fighting every day for a truly
egalitarian society, for a world where all
people with two to six legs are given a fair
chance in life.
-Later in that report, the bandit
Chieftain of the Shining Path was quoted:
"The Republic of Blattaria is beneath
contempt. It is a nation of thieves and
dumpster divers. They scurry in fear like the
roaches they are ..... For the record, the
Peoples' Republic of Blattaria has never
advocated thievery or "dumpster diving."
However, in a dangerous world filled with
rolled up newspapers and cans of RAID, our
brothers and sisters have found it necessary

moving Evergreen to semesters

week contract. Therefore, we feel that these
issues balance out and, in any case, none of
them are large enough to warrant this
calendar Change.
Another ' reason
given for the change
involves a reduction in
cost. Currently, there is
no estimation of how
large a sum of money
can be saved by this
change, or how much
money the change itself
could cost. A consultant
could come up with a
good estimation. This
change should not be
made without any idea of the future cost to
the students of this college and the State of
Washington.
Under the proposed semester calendar,
two weeks that are currently used for
evaluations would become paid faculty
planning weeks. We IlOderstand the necessity
of planning good, solid programs. However,
evaluations are part of what makes Evergreen
unique. Stuqents will still be in class the same
number of days per year and will still do the
same amount of work. We feel that the
. students, and also the faculty, deserve the
same amount of evaluation time per year. If
a week is spent on evaluations for a lO-week

class, then a week and a half should be given
for evaluations after a IS-week class. In this
case, there would be no extra planning time
under the semester system.
The other major
reason given is that
changing to a semester
calendar will force a
"shake-up." We understand that there are
certain problems in this
college, as in all
colleges. We also understand that some of these
problems involve classes
and the curric'u lum; we
attend these classes and
we pay for them. We feel that a "shake-up"
is needed, but that in itself is not a good
reason for this drastic change in the
academic calendar. The Financial Aid
Office had problems and a consultant was
hired to address those problems; some
changes are being implemented right now.
Many students who leave Evergreen, or
think about leaving Evergreen, state that the
way some faculty have structured their
programs does not meet their needs. A
consultant has not been hired to address this
problem. We feel that hiring a consultant
will be much more effective than jumping
into a hasty decision. There is no guarantee

In addition, if a consultant is hired, we
request that the faculty re-vote on the issue
after the consultant's report is made. We also
request that this be made a roll call vote so
that the faculty members will be accountable
for their actions. At the faculty meeting of
April 13, 1994, an bour-long discussion was
held on the issue. Then a raised hand vote
was held. If another vote is held, we would
like all of the members to be accountable for
their actions. We feel that accountability is
an integral part of the social contract.
We would like to thank the Board of
Trustees for takil]g the time to read this
petition. We do realize that a certain amount
of money is involved in hiring a consultant;
however, we feel that a very large sum of
money could be wasted if this decision is
made in haste. We hope that you will take
the concerns of the students into
consideration and hire a consultant before
any further move is made toward adopting
an early semester calendar.

oInstiiute a campus "glasnost" policy:
students pledge academic honesty.
administrators pledge to al ways be open and
truthful with students - no more routing
information through College Relations in
times of crisis. Take a stance for
accountability and make public the results
of campus grievance hearings - how else
do we know if our system is working?
-Publicize faculty and administrative
governance meetings. Schedule them an
during the Wednesday afternoon community
governance time. Use the simplest language
possible to explain the decision being made..
-Improve nightlife on campus. Create
a "community room" in the CAB, with pool
tables, TV, comfortable couches, maybe a
coffee cart.
oHelp students make informed course
choices. Move the date ohhe academic fait.
Start an open lecture series so students Call
meet lots of faculty and get an idea of who
they might want to learn from. Assign a dean
to hound the faculty mercilessly about their
catalogue copy until it makes sense and
describes the course. (What do you mean.
"reexamine the fractionalized margins of the
21 st century?")
-Fix the Core programs. Create strong
faculty teaching teams, challenging reading
lists. Be realistic - how much do first-year
students learn from a six-week break to work
on a research project? Teach students to write
coherently and how to seminar.
-Bring back down week'

We know you all have good ideas, too.
Please tell them to the Long-Range Planning

Evergreen filmmaker Yolanda Stevens'
latest work, Hallowed, will premier Friday
night as it kicks off the Seventh Annual
Northwest International Lesbian Gay Film
Festi val, the first stop of its international
distribution.
Hallowed provides , "a unique
perspective from a lesbian's point of view to
the dfects of AIDS," according to Stevens .
Stevens best friend Scott died of AIDS
in 1986. Hallowed deals with her struggle
from the painful loss, as well as how the
negative social climate towards AIDS
affected them both.
This piece is unique, because
traditionally, films have been made depicting
only gay male responses to AIDS, and not .'
those of lesbians.
Hallowed was recently picked up by the
San Francisco International Lesbian and Gay
Film Festival.
"It's important for people to know that
work at Evergreen is getting out there,"
remarks Stevens. She feels that this type of
ex.posure is necessary to enable TESC to
receive more film making funds in the future.
She encourages more Evergreen
students "not just to make films, but to
distribute them," as welL When planning a
film for production, she recommends
investigating the need of a particular film.
Hallowed, according to Stevens, has
filled the need for a lesbian response to AIDS.
Stevens will be graduating this June

.
with a Bachelor of Arts Degree. She also has
co-compiled with Halle Hennessy, an
independent film makers resource guide
which is already scheduled for printing. The
book is aimed at people just out of school,
looking to produce independent films.
Hallowed premiers at 7:30 p.m. on
Friday, April 29 at the Capitol Theater. The

Underground Rock Sid~e bar hits
Festival to a go-go side Pocket
by Oliver M()ffat
_
If you're thinking about leaving
Olympia for the summer, you may want
to change your plans because you'll miss
Yo-Yo A Go Go. Olympia's Yo-Yo
Recordings is bringing 40 underground
bands from around the world to the Capital
Theater July 12 through 16.
Beck, The Spinanes. Some Velvet
Sidewalk, Rancid. Lois, Unwound, Girl
Trouble. Codeine, and Mary Lou Lord are
just a few of the rad bands coming. The
Copass Grinders and the Bloodthirsty
Butchers from Japan have confirmed too,
The list of bands who have asked to
play is already too long and the people
putting the conference on will have to tum
many down . So if you have a band, give it
up. it's unlikely you'll get a slot.
Yo- Yo A Go Go will be at the same
time as Lake Fair which has a parade,
carniVal, food, boat races and fire works
so that punkers from around the world can

the locals between shows.
'
The underground rock convention is
being put together by Olympia's Yo-Yo
Recordings and the main organizers are Pat
Mally, Michelle Noel, and Kent Oiwa.
Michelle says she's puuing 'the event
on because she loves underground musi.
and Olympia, She wants to, "bring kids
together to have a lot of fun and network."
Pat wants it to be something where people '
come to meet other people as much as see
the bands. He says it doesn't have to be a
rock show with stars.
During the summer of 1991 a similar
conference called the International Pop
Underground brought all kinds of bands
to Olympia. One of the highlights was the
Melvins' performance in a downtown
park. If you missed it. K Records has a
bunch of CDs and records out. Yo-Yo
Records will be taping the shows for future
records and CDs and stuff.
Some people have been critical of the
line up so far. Dan Ewing, a local rock fan
says, " .. .if Pat [Mally) really wanted YoYo to be underground, Fugazi would be
on the bill instead of Beck ... It's a total
fucking scene, like twenty of the bands are
from Olympia ... what's up with that?"
Beck. and some of the other
headliners have videos and are signed to
corporate rock labels. Fugazi, despite their
popularity, have retained their
independence. Fugazi played at the '91
International Pop Underground.
Their has been no answer y~t from
Fugazi if they are going to play or not. But
Pat emphasized that having Fugazi play is
_ not the point because its not based on the
stardom of the people playing.
Yo-Yo Records is selling full passes
for all the shows for $40. There are 800
passes for sale and they hope and expect
to sell all of them. ff all the passes don' t
sell. single tickets will be $6. This could
be a drawback for people who can't afford
the $40 pass or take the week off from
work. Yo-Yo Records' number is 352-2597
. and their address is PO Box 10081,
Olympia, WA 98502.
Oliver is suspected of cheating at a
game ofcards., . but, no physical evidence.

by Cindy Laughlin
It doesn't seem to matter how much I try
to escape the sexist stereotypes of my white
bread culture, they still exist.
I get infuriated every time I hear one of
those slurs so reminiscent of a cereal
commercial subtly referring that there's only
one kind of animal who could possibly like this
brand ("Silly rabbit, Trix is for kids"). Once,
when I had kindly asked a boy to either pay up
or leave my pool table, I heard him mutter
under his breath; "Stupid bitch, girls can' t play
pooL" Although I was playing poorly at the
time, this comment filled me with rage.
Granted, there seem to be more boys than
girls who play pool. Probably for the same
reason there are more mechanics, professional
sports players. and scientists of the male
gender. These skills are culturally taught and
encouraged in boys, while fear and submission
of these "masculine" traits are fostered in girls.
My brother is the one who got the erector set
- I got the Barbie.
Is it any wonder that a sport so grounded
in physics and geometry should be dominated
by boys? Girls have to work harder if they want
to compete 'in the boys world. And be prepared
to earn less money for the same skills.
Girls can't even walk into a bar or tavern
to play pool without first having to adjust their
stature to avoid the leers and sneers of the boys
who frequent there. If your pool prowess hasn't
been intimidated and reduced enough, there's
another set of sexist comments to brave once
you start playing, even if you're a shark; "Pretty
good shot. For a girl."
Although it's better if girls can teach other
girls, I was taught by encouraging and helpful
boys to do all those things that girls aren't
supposed to be good at. Boys can help to
empower girls by teaching them how to change
their oil, take the derivative of a function, or
bridge a cue.
Once girls are allowed to practice
(because that's all it takes) in unintimidating
environments, then more pool sharks will
emerge unafraid, ready to challenge even the
best of the boys. And win .
Cindy is still a little bit sad that she had
to sell her car. .. but the boy who bought it ain 'tt

Perhans
it's best if you
don't take
all your
educational
lllaterials horne
for SUIlllller
break.

r-----------------------,
They're breakable.
They're bulky. They're potentially incriminating, Right?
So let us hang on to
your stuff this swnmer and
we'll give you 3 months of
storage for the price of 2.
Thank you. Class dismissed.

course, "The Simpsons."
All this from an Evergreen education.
Said Groening, "My years at Evergreen were
the reason the Simpsons happened - I was
never discouraged in school. I did whatever
I wanted to, it was almost too encouraging.
I did a bit of every media I could, from films
to the CPJ with Lynda Barry and Charles

What's up in Groening's immediate

publishing a sequel, "Bl nky's Guide to Love.

Inside. Gone is the raw energy in spired
by lack of talent. Gone is the cheap but
honest songwriting that put Courtney on
the indie map.
Live Through This is catchy,
musically excellent, but the lyrics are
cheesy attempts at poetry that in most
cases fall flat as dry cliches. But writing
takes time and Courtney has a good strong
set of lungs. Ex.pect something better from
these kids down the road sometime.
There are a couple of really good
songs, however, which at least warrant
making a good tape copy of someone's

Long-Range Plann'ing Disappearing Task Force
This paid supplement to the April 28, 1994, issue of the Cooper Point Journal is a draft from The Evergreen State College Long-Range Plan DTF
During the balance of April and the month of May, we plan a variety
of opportunities for the Evergreen community to provide us with a
.
critique of this draft.
The remainder of this introductory section to the draft describes' the
process to-date, content of the plan and the opportunities for making
your comments known to us.
Please review this draft and attend one of the public meetings to
discuss it.

.

itS

.PUBLIC MEETINGS

Public Meetings are scheduled on these Mondays:

MAY 2 • Lecture Hall 3 • 3 to 5p.rn. (student forum)
MAY 9 • Lecture Hall 1 • 3 to 5p.rn. (all-campus)
MAY 23 • Lecture Hall 1 • 3 to 5 p.m. (all-campus)
And/or submit written comments to: Provost's Office, Library 3131

lITHE PROCESS To-DATE

...

President Jervis created the Long-Range Planning DTF in November 1993 and
charged us with the responsibility of producing a new planning document for the
College by June 1994.
The last Long-Range Planning document was produced in 1986 and was
scheduled for revision in 1991. Our work is built upon the earlier efforts, and
expands them to deal with changes in our environment and in the institution.
The draft we are circulating represents a consolidation of the work of five
subcommittees that were charged to produce reports for our DTF on the
following topics:
Academic Programs and Student Affairs;
The Evergreen Environment;
Establishing a Sound Fiscal Base;
Emerging Technologies; and
The Human Environment.
Members of the subcommittees are listed at the conclusion of this section.
We thank the members of each subcommittee for their hard work on a complex
set of issues.
The subcommittee reports were produced between January and March of this
year. Our DTF used the months of March and April to integrate and edit the
subcommittee reports. The subcommittees, and we, drew heavily upon the
excellent, and - in large part -still relevant, subcommittee reports of the 198586 Strategic Planning effort. We are indebted to those groups and the 1985-86
Planning Council, as well.

The plan draft is organized under three major headings:
• Planning Context, Premises and Principles: What's Shaping Our
Planning
• a series of Strategic Statements grouped under headings of the five
subcommittees that contributed to the pla:l; and
o
Action Items which follow each set of Strategic Statements to suggest
how implementation of the plan's objectives can be achieved.
The version of the draft plan contained in this supplement is a distillation of five
subcommittee reports, which contained detailed rationales for the Strategic
Statements. In the interest of developing a document of reasonable length, we
have omitted the rationales in this document,
Copies of the subcommittee reports are available on Library Reserve. They
also have been distributed to Deans and Directors oftbe coUege for circulation

relationships across the campus.
H. We should attempt to preserve the current mix of built
and natural environments.
I. Evergreen's sense of community revolves around its
academic mission, the values articulated in the social
contract, and the connections the College's members feel
to the work of the College and to each other. For faculty
and 'students, an important part of community is their
academic program.
J. We need to invest in our human resources, across the
campus, in order to keep pace with shrinking funding
and technological change.
K. The College is increasingly dependent upon tuition and
this has to affect' all aspects of planning within the
institution. In this regard, issues of residency mix and
of retention take on increasing importance.
L. Emerging technologies make possible new ways of
doing things. However, applications of emerging
technologies should be the result of careful and focussed
initiatives.

STRATEGIC STATEMENTS AND
ACTION ITEMS

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND
STUDENT AFFAIRS

• Strategic Statement I:
It is vital to the College's survival that we redesign our
curricular structures and content so as to:
(a) enable us to continue to use educational practices
and pedagogies that make us distinctive and provide a
model in higher education;
(b) handle a steadily increasing number of students;
(c) serve a consciously determined mix of
undergraduates well;
(d) speak to student needs as we enter the 21st century,
and
(e) meet the changing interests and various needs of
the faculty.

• Action Items:
I.

A Long-Range Curriculum DTF will be charged before
the end of the 1993-94 academic year to begin work in
. Spring 1994 and certainly no later than the start of Fall
Quarter 1994. The President and Provost, together with
the Long-Range Planning DTF, are drafting a charge.
This charge should be submitted to the faculty for
consideration at the April 27, 1994, faculty retreat.
2. In coordination with the above DTF, a DTF should
convene in Fall 1994 to examine student support
services, including academic advising, with the intent
of better supporting our students.
3. Consider the implications on teaching effectiveness,
institutional efficiency, and retention of various calendar
alternatives. This decision should be completed prior to
the work of the Long-Range Curriculum Planning DTF
and the Student Sl)pport Services DTF, to provide a clear
context for their work.
4. There are also a series of short-term actions which
addr~ss clear and pressing needs in the curriculum and
should be implemented as soon as possible, prior to
completion of the Long-Range Curriculum DTF's work.
These are:
a. Select Core and Weekend & Evening Studies
conveners
b. Experiment with establishing long-term advising
relationships between Academic Advising and all
coordinated studies programs
c. Schedule visits of academic advisors to each Core
program beginning with Spring Quarter 1994 to discuss
program options and the transition to the 1994-95
curriculum.
d. Develop tlex.ible structures in planning for Fall 1995
Core programs to include several one- and two-quarter
offerings as well as 12-quarter-hour options.
e. Develop a mechanism for faculty to identify and
advise students planning to leave Fall 1994 Core
programs and to work with them to find suitable
alternatives at the College.
f. Set in motion a mechanism for improving math
instruction across the curriculum.

TESC ENVIRONMENT

•

Strategic Statement II:

Growth should be planned to maximize its favorable
impacts and to mitigate its unfortunate impacts.

•

Strategic Statement ill:

The unique, Don-built environment of the campus should
be preserved in roughly its present state, but the campus
should also be made more accessible to the public. These
are potentiaUy competing aims and care is required in
reconciling them. We acknowledge that urban growth will
continue in and around Evergreen. We wiU work with
the surrounding governments and communities to
channel this growth in reasonable directions.

•

Strategic Statement IV:

We should continue to be a resource for serving the needs

of state, local and tribal governments.

•
I.

Action Items:

The Evergreen State College Master Plan should be
updated and publicized within the College to become a
continuing planning and evaluation tool utilized by the
offices of the president, provost and vice-presidents.
Constituent groups should form the basis of a biennial
review and updating process in conjunction with the
establishment of college operating and capital budget
requests. Thus, the Master Plan will become a "living"
document which will reflect the College's philosophy,
provide a guide for long-range planning, and form the
basis for ongoing self-assessment.
2. We should ex.pand the campus Master Plan contents.
The Master Plan needs expansion to include a new
section which deals specifically with the use of college
facilities and infrastructure. The primary purpose of this
chapter should be to recognize the interrelationship of
the academic teaching/learning philosophy and
environment with the need to preserve the physical
facilities and infrastructures.
Minimum standards regarding "building use and
upkeep" need to be addressed in this section.
3. The College should develop a long-range facilities
maintenance and adaptation plan to ensure that our
existing buildings and grounds continue to support the
campus community well into the next 20 years. This
planning needs to incorporate short and intermediate
funding requests. This plan will need to secure
management endorsement and resulting funds to be
successful.
4. The College should develop a stronger and more
centralized space management operation to ensure that .
existing facilities are effectively and efficiently operated
before contemplating new facilities. The College needs
to adopt a policy that will prioritize adaptation of existing
space before requesting any new construction.
5. An academic program-possibly titled, " Evergreen
Environmental Assessment"-should be considered for
the 1995-96 academic year to carry out the following
activities:
a. Do a complete biological survey of the non-built areas
of the campus;
b. Make an inventory of previous studies of the campus
environment, creating an annotatc;d bibliography of
these reports;
c. Review the existing land-use designations in the
existing Master Plan, and make recommendations to
the campus community for changes in those
designations based on the results of the biological
survey and inventory of previous studies. Among the
alternatives that should be considered are:
1. designation of areas that could be used as areas
for long-term ecologicaUy oriented resource
management, such as low-impact selective forest
management;
ii. identification of areas that could be developed for
improved visitor access and lise, including trails
and group meeting sites.
In the event that no program is created, this work should
be the responsibility of the Finance and Administration
and Academic Divisions.
6. An academic program- possibly entitled, "Evergreen
Environmental Design"- should be considered in the
academic year 1996-97 to implement the
recommendations arising from the environmental
assessment and Master Plan review described in item I .
Specific projects could include design of
a. an improved trai! system for the campus;
b. group meeting/picnic sites on campus;
c. strategy for improving both the safety of human
visitors to the campus and the protection of the campus
environment from harm from its human visitors.
Possible approaches include establishing a team of
volunteer student wardens to walk or bicycle around
the campus to monitor the trails.
In the event that no program is created, this work should
be the responsibility of the Finance and Administration
and Academic Divisions.
7. Either in connection with the academic program
described in item 5 or subsequent to it, establish a library
of reports on the campus environment. Adopt a policy
that a complete copy of every new report resulting from
a study of the campus should be deposited in this library.
The library should have:
a. an identified. publicly accessible location ;
b. a designated librarian and preferably two librarians;
c. both a noncirculating master copy and a publicly
accessible copy of each report;
d. a more complete collection in College Archives of
historical reports on the campus environment.
8. Acknowledge that growth will occur in and around
Evergreen. Work with it, and not against it, so as to
channel growth into responsible areas.
9. Continue to encourage county and city officials to leave
the surrounding Evergreen community out of the LongTerm Urban Growth Management Boundary.
10. Evergreen should be a natural corridor. not a biotic
island,
11. Maintain "soft borders" with area residents and property
owners.
12. Reduce the number of automobiles travelling to and

from TESC, even as campus population increases.
13. Work with the surrounding community to create
opportunities for resident involvement with TESC.
14. Through public forums, surveys and direct dialogue, the
College should better assess the educational and service
needs of the surrounding communities.
15. Evergreen should consider staging citizen focus groups
or symposia in the region to help the citizens of
Southwest Washington articulate their educational and
service needs.
16. The College should promote and staff environmental,
educational and community service outreach programs
that will serve the surrounding communities. These
programs would meet on and off campus.
17. The Masters in Teaching and the Masters of
Environmental Studies programs should consider
establishing an Environmental Education service
program for K-12 teachers, using the campu s
environment and surrounding natural and built
communities as study areas.
18. Evergreen should create more part-time and less than
full-time programs to accommodate the needs of older,
nontraditional students.
19. Evergreen should continue to design programs and offer
educational opportunities that serve the needs of local ,
state and tribal governments as well as community
organizations.

ESTABLISHING A SOUND FISCAL BASE

• Strategic Statement V:
We need to continue research and discussions on why
students leave Evergreen and to increase student
retention.

• Strategic Statement VI:
The CoUege should take maximum advantage of steps
to lJDprove institutional efficiency. Potential efficiencies
should be explored unit by unit as well as across units.
A process for doing this should be developed. Sources
of efficiencies could include cross-training, automation,
temporary reassignments, organizational restructuring
and changed work patterns, among other practices.

• Strategic Statement VII:
The College should devote maximum efforts to
enhancing its revenue sources, consistent with college
mission and goals.

• Action Items:
I.

The state's commitment to resources for higher
education will continue to decline, thereby making it
necessary to re-allocate resources in order -to support
new initiatives or programs within the College. This will
require maximum efforts to enhance our academic
programs through revenue sources available to us, and
in ways consistent with college mission and p:oals.
2. The College should consider how student mIX affects
aU tmits of the coUege when planning. For example,
adding WeekendlEveoing program students does not
help with vacancies in Housing, but it does relieve the .
heavy impact on ovea--crowded classrooms during the,
day. Detailed studies on "space availability" should be 1
part of this planning.
3. Increasing tuition dependency makes student attrition
especially difficult and costly and other revenue sources
even more vital. Every effort should be made to increase
student retention and understand why students leave
Evergreen.
4. The proportion of in- and out-of-state students is a
critiCal factor in our budget, and it is also a continuing
political concern. Local control of tuition has made the
nonresident proportion even more important. Clear,
consistent policy on student mix is needed, with full
recognition of all its implications.
5. Efforts should be made to secure more scholarships
beyond the freshman year.
6. The financial aid operation shou ld move toward a more
fully integrated automated system as quickly as
possible ..
7. In light of shifting federal policies regarding work-study,
the College should examine its reliance on work -study
students .
8. Many of our units and programs would benefit from
developing a clearer sense of mission and goals in order
to better set priorities and to do the work that is most
central to the institution. The debate around operating
COllege programs as "profit centers" as opposed to
"service centers" needs periodic reexamination .
9 . The College should closely examine the growth
potenlials for summer school, summer conferences, and
the English language school. Currently, each program
generates revenue which benefits the college. The
feasibility of a continuing education program should be
evaluated. The College should maximize the potential
revenue, recognizing that growth creates tension
between academic and other programs.
a. The College should consider developing the summer
program to a greater degree. This requires a discussion
of the purpose, the ideal size, and mix of offerings.
More continuity and overall planning in academic

administration is probably needed to realize the full
potential of summer school.
b. The establishment of a vigorous continuing education
program should be explored to expand the College's
services, deepen its relationships with the community
and provide an avenue for retired faculty to work part
time.
c ..The relationship with EF Language Institute plays a
critical role in the financial viability of our housing,
food services, and other operations on campus. This
relationship also has substantial advantages in terms
of educational benefits, enhancing diversity and
intercultural understanding. Efforts should continue
to maintain and build a relationship with a provider of
English language instruction for foreign students ..
The College needs to look at rates and costs of auxiliary
and summer school and philosophies and practices
behind the distribution of "profits". acknowledging
program costs that may not be covered.
We should aggressively seek federal and state grants and
contracts that are compatible with our goals and
objectives, and be mindful of the costs such grants
sometimes impose upon the institution.
The College should better use existing programs to
strengthen ties 10 the community (Evergreen
Expressions, galleries. etc.). These are key to developing
friends' in the' community and to building future
endowments and contributions.
We should maintain our commitment to alumni relations
and annual giving and strengthen our capacity in major
giving.
We should do more detailed planning about our
development/funding needs to establish clearer priorities
and to determine what level of support is achievable.
Inter-unit coordination and planning is important.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

8.

• Strategic Statement VIII:
The College's mission statement should acknowledge our
obligation to educate students with appropriate,
contemporary and innovative tools and methods. We
should comm~t to producing graduates wh~ are
comfortable with technology in a world of increasing
technological complexity.

9.

• Strategic Statement IX:

II.

Applications of emerging technologies in the library
should be a high institutional priority because of the great
opportunity for both improving support for the academic
mission and the potential for cost savings.

12.

10.

Strategic Statement X:
The College should regularly assess the impact of
emerging technologies on the educational marketplace
and work place. Technological changes (such as broader
use of networks) have funding implications which need
to be acknowledged.

13.

• Action Items:
I.

4.

Each division of the College should determine in what
manner it will respond to emerging technologies in
Evergreen 's educational. social and cultural environment.
A Long-Range Curriculum DTF, recommended
elsewhere in the Long-Range Plan. should assess the
implementation of technology across the curriculum. The
DTF should survey faculty and students to assess the
importance of technology as both a subject of and a set
of core skills in the curriculum. The DTF should
determine the relative merits of a specialized versus a
generalized approach to technology in the curriculum,
and develop models for implementation of technologies
as learning tools.
Applications of technology in the curriculum need to
support fundamental educational models. allowing the
College to maintain or enhance the quality of the student
experience while increasing efficiency.
a. Distance learning technology may have special value
in supporting off-campus programs, allowing the
College to make efficient use of on-campus personnel
and programming. Deans and faculty should
investigate whether such systems could enhance the
operations in a cost-effective manner.
b. Deans, faculty and computing staff should assess our
ability to provide information and network resources
to students directly, versus deflecting students to
external resources.
c. Academic computing programs and resource
allocations should balance general teaching and
learning objectives for many students against highlevel re!iearch and applications projects for a few
students.
d. Academics should draw on existing faculty and staff
expertise to develop an interdisciplinary center for the
study of emerging technologies and their ethical, social
and economic consequences.
Applications of emerging technologies should be the
result of focused initiatives, based on research and

The Shakespeare Express Dedicates
itself to performances of Shakespeare that go by
the original production elements of
Shakespearean theater. They use universal
lighting, doubling (an actor playing more than
one role), simple costumes and minimal props.
They are trying to fulfill Shakespeares promise
of "two hours traffic" on stage. "Taming of the
Shrew" will be performed Tuesday evening at
7pm in the Com Building recital hall.
Earlier in the day the Shakespeare
Express will give workshops in the library
lobby from 1 to 3pm, They will tover staging ,
and audience contact, theater structure and the ~
audience in the Elizabe~an Era. They will go I~
