small discrepancies in the paperwork
submiued by students can take hours of
staff Ii me to fix.
According
to Rodriguez,
Evergreen isn't the only institution
having problems . The difficulties
experienced here exist nation-wide. due
largely Lo a difficulLy in finding financial
resources amidst shrinking govemmenLal
budgets. Changes in federal processes,
intended to alleviate pressure on colleges,
have produced indeterminate results;
while similar changes are still being made
on the SUII.e level.
Some'of these changes have added
to the confusion, and even caused some
students who had aid lasL year to not
receive it this year.
Federal financial aid regulations,
updated every five or six years, come due
this year; adding Lo the immediate
confusion instead of clearing it up.
LeGros, like many students,
complained about the unresponsiveness
of the Financial Aid office; sending, for
example, an important form to a previous
address when Registration had been
aware of the new one for severdi months.
Both Rodriguez and Chun
claimed a difficulty in gClling new staff
to help spread Lhe workload around .
Chun said that her staff's Lime is usually
spent both counseling studenLs and
processing forms and information. But
'Iately, more time has had to be spent
counseling instead of processing badly
needed forms.
Chun said, "If Financial Aid isn't
broken, no one notices, but when
something goes wrong people realize how
important il is." Rodriguez said that a lot
of work has gone inLO trying to
stream lin e Lhe financial aid process;
working with whatever they've got to
improve the system. leGros also admitted
that, despite all its shortcomings, if it
weren't for Financial Aid, he wouldn't be
here.
Looking ahead, Chun said that
the '94-95 financial aid packets are out
now and advises students to have them
mailed out by February to help avoid
future difficulties.
Addressing students traumatized
by the financial aid process, Rodriguez
said that Financial Aid has nothing to
gain from delays, and wants to make the
system work just as much as anybody,
LeGros only had this to say about
dealing with Financial Aid, "Stay cool,
don't let 'em freak you out"

On Jan. 14, the Office of College

preparedness drill to happen sometime

On Jan. 17 a major earthquake rocked
the Los Angeles. Coincidence? Yes, says
College Relations.
At some time on an unspecified day
next week, instructions will be given
over the emergency public address system to evacuate all campus buildings and
people will be advised to find a safe
location "away from sttuctures and trees,"
John Ford, a student, asked, "What
the hell else is there at Evergreen?"
Seth "Skippy" Long anxiously awaits
a campus-wide "duck and cover" drill.
the worst case scenarios - in the South

Correctly using a condom will help prevent STDs, pregnancy
Writer calls for student representative on Board of Trustees
Once again, the Legislature is in
session, and once again, it will be doing its
usual business; holdingcommilleemeetings,
considering weighty measures of budget
and public policy, and various rituals will be
repeated in their time honored pattern
(political posturing and press releases among
them).
One of the time-honored rituals of
Olympia is the introduction of legislation to
have students sit on the boards of trustees
and regents of Slate public colleges and
universities. Legislation to this effect has
becn periodically s ubmitte d to the
Legislature for over 20 years.
What is also traditional about tllis
custom is that the administrations of each
state public . uni versi ty and college
(Evergree n included) spe nd their time
lobbying agai nst this bill whenever it is
introduced, and it never passes out of the
Legislature, ostens ibly because of the
lobbying.
A year ago, John Terry, form erly the
chairperson of the TESC Board ofTrustees,
wrote a public opinion piece in The Olympian
detai l ing why having a studen t voting
member on a board of trustees would be a
bad idea. I intend to paraphrase and rebuL his
arg um e nl~. 1 hope acc uratel y, and show you
what goes on in the minds of the people " in
charge" a t Evergreen.
One o f Terry's arg uments against
having a student trustee was Lhal the c itizens

why shouldn't they have me authority to be

the state universities and colleges are held in
trust for the citizens of the state of
Washington (since their tax dollars pay for
them), not for their students.
The purpose of a board of regents
and trustees in this instance is to see that the
management of the college is overseen by
representatives of the citizens who paid their
tax dollars for its building and operation, to
ens ure ci tizen involvement in how their
money is spent in the community, and how
their property is operated.
Well , my question is this: Don't
students who pay tuition and fec money , a
"tax" to s upport a college or univers ity,
deserve representation as well? Shouldn'!
we have some say in how our money is
spe nt , or in creating the directions that will
he taken by our school WiUl thalmoney ') Our
investment in this universi ty is just as real as
that of slate k1xpayers; shouldn' l we have a
role comm ensurate with that?
The ' ense I have gotten from read ing
Terry's essay is that no, students are too
centered aho ut the ir own concerns and no t
broadminded enough to be able to keep
future students in mind. ( guess therc is a
sense tha t even though we ean \'ole, pa y

This is an excellent question!
Many people arc unaware of the:< correct
way LO usc condoms and, therefore, use
th c m incorrectly . Condoms are most
e ffec tive when used correctly.
When purchasing a condom it is
illlJlortant to check the expiration date to
Iliake sure it has not expired. If a condom
has 'cx pired it may be more like ly to
iln'ak, ancl any spermicide it contains is
lik .: ly to be ineffective . It is also
illiportanl to c hcck what material it is
IIwd(' of. Lamb ski n condoms arc only
dkcti\'(, at preventing pregnancy; they
do not protect against sex ually
tl"allsmitted diseases (STDs). Late)!,
c li ncioms protect against both pregnancy
and STDs.
Choosing a condom is a matter of
perso na I preference. Condoms that are
ribbed , non-lubricated, lubricated, or
IlIhr icated w ith a spermicide arc available
ill lIIr1n y s izes. Colored or flavored
co ndollls :lre recommended for oral sex
o nl y.
Between the time it is purchased
and the tillle it is used, it must be stored
properly, in a cool, dry place out of direct
s unl ig hl. A condom should be opened
,';II Cfllll y hut not until ready for use. (If a
cO llci lllll or its packag ing r1ppears damaged

Ilow do you use a condom?
This is an excellent question!
Many people arc unaware of the correct
W;IY to usc condoms and, therefore, use
them incorrectly. Condoms are most
C'llcctive when used correctly.
When purchasing a condom it is
impurtant to check the expiration date to
Illake sure it has not expi red. If a condom
has ex pired it may be more likely to
break , and any. sperm icide it contains is
lib.: ly to be ine ffective. It is also
important to check what material it is
madc or. Lamb skin condoms arc only
l' ITt'ctiv(' at preventing pregnancy; they
clu not protect against sex ually
tr;lIl s milled diseases (STDs). Latex
cu ndoms protect against both pregnancy
and STDs.
C hoosing a condom is a matter of
personal preference. Condoms that arc
ri bbed , non-lubricated, lubri ca ted , or
lubricated wi th a spe rmicide are available

removed, tied at the open end, wrapped in
. a paper towel or facial tissue, and placed
in a trash can. Soap and warm water will
remove any semen that remains on the

more than once!
Before entering into a sexual
situation, it is useful to learn how to use
a condom, to have any questions
answered, and to practice (one way to
practice is to use two fi ngers to roll a
condom down over). If possible, it may
also be useful for partners to discuss and
negotiate concerns.

There is a new international trading
practice called "alternative trade" that seeks
to. infuse ecanamic justice into. trade, and
Evergreen has a chance to join a growing list
of~olIeges and businesses that have switched
to. serving social justice in their coffee.
Northwest Faod Services, which supplies foad to hungry Ever.greeners an campus, is considering buying caffee from a
Massachusetts-based coffee company ,Equal
Exchange, that has as its missian "to create
fairer trade relationships between third world
farmers and U.S. consumers." In concrete
tenns this means that Equal Exchange buys
caffee nat from wealthy plantatian owners
who. aften pay slave wages , but from small
scale, democratically-run farmers ' coaperatives. Additianally, Equal Exchange makes
sure the small scale producers receive a better price far their beans in twa ways: first,
they pay approximately double the gaing
world market price, and second, they bypass
the middle men and trade directly with the
farmers, according to their promotional literature. By cutting aut the middle men ("cayotes" in caffee parlance) Equal Exchange
maintains that it is able to sell the coffee in
the United States at a campetitive price in the
gaunnet coffee market.
.
Northwest Faad Services has shown
interest in switching to. Equal Exchange's
coffees, but has several concerns, especially
taste. "We would like to find a caffee that
people wauld like based on taste and nat on
palitics," said Michael Cardew, the food
services director
at
NW Foad
Services.
Hawever ,
he does "like
the idea of
s upporting
the growers" in Central America. He also has concerns abaut supply, freshness and price. But
hi s main worry is that a vocal minority might
foist a "politically carrect" coffee on his
cl ients that it turns aut most custamers do. not
like - at which point he wauld suffer the
brunt of their discontent.
On the other hand, facu lty member
Peter Bohmer, a propanent af Equal Ex-
change coffee, feels that "the workingconditions af the producers should be a factor, as
well as price and quality. If people up here
cauld see the unspeakable misery .that the
traditional coffee plantation system has produced, they would be strongiy in fa'v ar af
switching to Equal Exchange."
A lat of the initial interest in Equal
Exchange coffees has been based an promating ane
of their coffee blends,
Cafe Salvadar, which is
from EI Salvadar.
Bahmer explains, "The
U.S. government spent $6 billian supporting their recently ended IO-year long civil
war. There still exists an intense struggle for
sacial justice going on in El Salvador and
buying Cafe Salvador is a very concrete way
to. suppart the Salvadorians in their quest for
justice ." He adds that TESC has a fonnal
sister university relationship with the National University af EI Salvador.
Evergreen has a
chance to join
a growing list of colleges who are
now serving social
justice in their coffee.
There is currently a petition going
around campus, spansared by Evergreen
Political Information Center, which is asking
NWFS to switch caffee suppliers.
Mr. Cardew has indicated that he will
base much of his decis ian an whether to
adapt Equal Exchange coffees on the results
of a blind taste test that will mast likely take
place in the last week of January. The petition
drive arganizers are haping that Cardew will
also allow infarmation an Equal Exchange's
trade practices at the time, and a separate vote
based an the political issue. Cardew indicated he might be inclined to. include background infarmatian and possibly use a ballat
provided by Equal Exchange.
At least five other callege s have
switched over to. buying coffee exclusively
from Equal Exchange, including Wheatan,
Hampshire, American Internatianal, Unian
Theolagical and McCalli ster.
Will Evergreeners like the coffee?
Will Evergreeners join in the mavement for
alternative trade? The answer is in our hands
- and on our tongues.

On Tuesday, Jan . 25, the USS

Reportedly, the itinerary far many of
the sailars is to. give speeches in public places
and get c hummy with elementary and high

at Olympia's children.

754 - 7666 Open Everyday
by Derek Birnje
Last Tuesday, the Evergreen Peace
Center and the Olympia Fellowship af
Reconciliatian sponsared a speaking
engagement in the Library labby by Richard
Deats, an internatianal nan-vialent activist,
arganizer, and trainer, and baard member far
the MLK Jr. Center.
The event was thought by the arganizers
to be an apprapriate way af reflecting on the
haliday honaring ane of our culture's mast
visible figures invalved with an active pursuit
af sacial change.
It was also. meant to. act as a way af
supparting and highlighting the cammittment
to palitical awareness · (correctness?) and
pasitive social change so highly tau ted of the
cammunity at Evergreen.
Far me, the lessans learned came as
muc h from the attendance and the audience
responses as from the admittedly mainstream
and innbcuaus cantenl.
A cammon frustration was expressed
by several of the peaple attending the event.
ane that ec hoed the sentiments I've heard
expressed by several of the students involved
wi th campus gro ups as well as faculty and
community activists. As one woman asked,
"Where are all the people?"
Part af the recruitment strategy far
Evergreen and a widely regarded nation abaut
the campus is the high level af invalvement
in political activism here.
While I acknawledge the futility and
arrogance of any effart to "g uilt" people into
any sart af action in thi s arena, I think it's
warth asking ourselves if the level afpalitical
activity on campus has diminished and if so.,
why.
Right now there is an administrative
committee attempting to. interpret thereasans
behind the' extremely law rate at which
freshmen return to Evergreen. There might
be a cannectian.
The second issue the event pointed out
to me was the question afthe viability af non violent action in the face af current sacial and
political events and pawer structures.
Recent events in Chiapas, Mexico and
right here in Olympia have tauched on a
growing sense af anger and frustration at the
pawer structures that daminate the lives af
people in the U.S., Mexico, and around the
warld.

The changing, subtle ar n9t so subtle
role that U.S. military power plays in shaping
warld events has altered the dynamics af the
culture and idea systems that arase in response

The process of reconciling the ideals of
traditianal mavements for peace and growing
mavements for social,econamic, andculturaI
justice will not be easy or quick. It will take
a real investment af inquiry, patient dial ague,

There are many ways far Geaducks to
