Java vs. joysticks
by Early Ewing
A Housing proposal to place video
games in the Community Center TV room
has been met with opposition from the
Java Junkies Collective, which also wants
the space.
Video games became an issue last
week, when Heather Ballard of the Coffee
Cart Collective, and Chuck McKinney,
Housing Program Manager, met to discuss
possible sites for the permanent location
of the Junkies' cart. Ballard proposed
housing the Coffee Cart in the TV Room
and McKinney mentioned installing video
machines in the room.
"Ther'e
has not
been a
determination , nor, have I ever told
anybody that there has been a
determination, that Housing was definitely
going to do this ," said McKinney. He
stresses video games are only a proposal
and they are not a done deal , nor have
they been represented as such. He denies
telling Ballard that it was a done deal or
that any decision has been made.
Community Center workers realize
the video games are just an idea. A
petition documenting student support of
the Java Junkies' move to the TV room,
will be a tool they may need as they
attempt to make their case to Housing.
"He said it was a proposal and tbat
by the end of1v1ay , either -VIdeo games
would go in there or we would go in
there," said Ballard . "I felt really rushed
for time. That is only a month to get all
this organized."
Ballard is confident that Housing
and the Junkies will be able to resolve this
issue.
")fs not black-and-white; Housing
also has some issues we haven't -heard,"
said Ballard.
The Community Center TV room is
soun~oof, and Housing is proposing

Qther remodeling. The few modifications
needed to get the space ready for video
games could easily become part of this
summer's construction plans.
"It's one thing if people were
debating whether Java Junkies deserves
the space, but it has turned into an
opportunity to rail against technology and
video games, " said Ben Burland, a Branch
employee.
Other Community Center affiliates
are clearly anti-video game. "I'm not so
set on having Java Junkies in the TV
Room, but that the video games are not in
there," said Natasha Dunn, of Java
Junkies.
The TV room would provide a
secure place for the cart and allow the
Junkies to create an atmosphere more
conducive to cafe activities. Java Junkies
was robbed twice this .year, once of $350
and then of $100. Other miscellaneous
itemS have also been palmed: whip-its and
whipped cream dispensers.
Because it is soundproof, the TV
room may also alleviate some musical
selection conflicts with the Corner. If the
cart is moved from its current location,
not necessarily to the TV room, the fire
place will again be accessible. ·

A history of TE~Q_~tud~nt government: a
AnalySiS
by Loren D. Rupp
Listening to conversati"on 'around
campus , one often hears students
muttering discontent with the
administration or with "the way things are
nm around here." Indeed , there is a
general
feeling of student
disenfranchisement from the decisionmaking process of our own school. We
could attribute this to basic apathy of the
student body , but that i£ somewhat of a
cop-out. What is really lacking is a
fundamental mechanism for students to
organize and be heard. What is missing
here? A student government.
The Past
Governance is' a process that was
written - into the student handbook ,
outlining the means for students to
organize themselves. There was even a
time set aside for this process. There were
no classes scheduled on Wednesday
afternoons so that students would have
time to participate in their local
democracy. The" procedure was quite
basic. Students would attend meetings ,
debate issues and bring them to a vote.
One person / one vote; sounds ' simple
enough. The problem was that attendance
at these meetings was often spotty. The

result was that at any time, any group
could spontaneously pack a meeting,
railroad a topic through, bring it to a vote,
and the issue would be settled before the
rest of the campus would eveQ know about
it. This allowed the passage of some
rather bizarre resolutions.
Consequently , several years ago
students started talking about ways to
remedy the situation. Since steady
attendance was a problem, the idea of
installing some type of representative
democracy was put forth. In true
multicultural form, there was a movement
to provide special consideration to
previously disempowered groups of
students. And thus the cultural caucus
system was born. Suddenly there were
some twenty different special in~est
. groups that were charged, with ru~ing
student government. There was an
African-American caucus, a women's
caucus, a lesbian-gay-bisexual cau~~,;,
etc., and each had the same number of
votes in the governance proceedings.
While it was a promising idea, the
cultural caucus ran into many roadblocks.
The first was finding enough categories to
keep every special interest group happy.
Every student needed to align with one
group that accurately represented him or
her. Furthermore, many "Euro-American"
students argued that the system did not
provide for fair and equal representation
of all stUdents. The state Attorney General

The Evergreen State College
, Olympia, WA 98505

agreed with them, and the cultural caucus
was declared unconstitutional on the basis
of racial discrimination, and therefore
illegal. 11te , blow proved to be
demoralizing for those involved, and the

documented, and every issue scrutinized
carefully, to keep everyone happy.'" But
he feels that the work could eventually
payoff. "We need to set the groundwork
for students to take the reins for selfgovernance, and that includes teaching
communication skills that are vital for
having a
successful
participatory
democracy . ~'

Sensei . Ki-Aikido acknowledges that mind
and body are one, and that both are a part
of the expression of the energy which
makes up the universe. In today's world ,
education separates the develop-ment of
the body from the mind into separate
subject areas, usually into separate
facilities. The combining of these two
diverse fields with a larger view of
humanitY's inter-connectedness with all of
nature brings about a uniquely spiritual
approach to education and pers.onal
development. Like all religions, Ki-Aikido
acknowledges an animating force which
gives rise to all existence. Unlike a
reiigion, a higher order being, or source
of this force , is not designated for

The saving grace for the entire
episode was Donna. What a woman!! My
impre~sions of her were completely
shattered by the little self-defense demo
she gave to that purse snatcher. Lately,
I've been suspecting that Donna isn ' t as
dumb as she seems, but I had no idea she
could be so cool, ', 0 assertive, so macho! Pardon me, I have to catch my

From this chart we can make several
observations: For the rust category, those
whom we could consider really poor, -the
perCentages for Evergreen and the norm are
the same. For the following three
categories, parents with low 'income, the
percentages for Evergreen are lower than
of class. Far beyond the traditions of
conceptual philosophy, Ki-Aikido is meant
to b~ a constant source for strength and
calm in the daily activities of its
practitioners.
Confrontation and conflict ar~ a
common part of people's daily life. Internal conflict is even more common than
inter-personal conflict. By learning to
coordinate mind, body and spirit through
Aikido training, students develop a stronger level of internal calm and stability. This
quiescence becomes readily apparent to
others and encourages more peace in
relationships. Far from traditional warrior

the norm; ' for category two, it is
significantly lower. For the following four
categories (except category 7), middle
income families, the percentages for
Evergreen are higher than ' me norm. For
the following two categories, upper .middle
incomes, the percentages for Evergleen are .
lower than the nOTll!. For the remaining
categories, high incomes, parents who
make over $75,000, Evergreen has higher
percentages than the norm.
We seem to have less poor students and
more rich students than similar colleges
through the nation . In the middle
categories, however, the Evergreen
student,> tend to be in the lower categories.
A strange combination. The norm seems
to be more normally distributed (the bellshape of the white bars). From the data
that we have available, we cannot fInd the
corresponding means. We only have
fourteen categories of incomes, and for the
last one we do not even have its
maximum value. But we could guess from

systems which aspired to the spirit of the
Greek God of War, Mars, Ki-Aikido
seeks out an ideal far more constructive in
our all too conflict-filled world:
"True budo (the Way of the Warrior) is a work of love. It is a work of
giving life to all beings, not killing or
struggling with each other. Love is the
guardian deity of everything. Nothing
can exist without it. Aikido is the

Response

Porum
Daglnar a TESC a's set
by Libya T. M. Taylor
This letter is being sent to Jane
Jervis , Les Purce , Art Costantino , Torn
Mercado , and the Cooper Point Journal.
Last fall, my best friend, Dagmar
Peterson, moved to Olympia from Seattle.
One of the first things she noticed about
Olympia was that there wasn ' t a lot to do.
School dances were sporadically attended,
not many good bands come to campus,
and it's easy to be bored here in general.
She took it upon herself to change this,
even if only a little.
She started out with the "infamous"
Camarilla rave in February. She heard
that the Vampire Fan CI"ub was throwing
a rave and offered her services and
experience. As a result, this rave became
one of the most successful dances thrown
at TESC since I arrived here in 1990. She
booked the DJs, the three bands , and Miss
Whitley to perform at the show.
Dagmar never received much credit
(if any) for this rave. She didn't ask for
any. All she wanted was for this thing to
be done right, and for people to have a
good time. Even though no public thanks
were aired, just ask the Camarilla whether
they could have pulled it off without her.
They'll probably tell you no.
After the success of the rave,
Dagmar had an even bigger idea: an allday event featuring lots of live bands and
entertainment. We sat around brainstorming about the idea, and I suggested
to her, "Let's call it 'Tastes Like
Chicken . ' That's kinda funny." So Tastes
Like Chicken was born.
She approached the S&A offices
about her idea. She was referred to Tempo. They were just learning how to book
shows for the campus , and Dagmar enlisted their help. She personally booked
every one of the 12 bands listed on the
line up. Several of the bands are playing '

strictly as a favor to her. There's np other
way that bands like fitz of depression, My
Name , or several others would even think
about playing Evergreen for gas money
and some food (the only reimbursement
they're receiving for the show). She
booked J. P. Patches, and designed the
flyers, too.
Tom Mercado , Director of Student
Activities, called my house Friday and
fired Dagmar from the show . He.claimed
that since she's not a student, she can no
longer be involved . Dagmar has asked several times whether or not there are official procedures to go through as a volunteer on campus. Several times she was
told no . Friday was the first time that
Tom Mercado had even heard that she
was involved with S&A groups.
Dagmar has since been reinstated to
the show, and it will go on as pl~ed.
The problem as I see it now is , how could
she be involved in our S&A groups,
spending our money, for four months
without the Director of Student Activities
knowing?
Obviously there is a breach of
communication going on in the S&A
offices. Dagmar has worked with the
approval of Javier O'Brien throughout this
whole thing. What I want to know is why .
he knew about it, and never told Tom.
I also want to voice some serious
displeasure with Tempo. This S&A group
has done nothing but take credit for the
work that Dagmar has done for them.
They couldn't even see to it that she was
thanked in the CPJ Spring Art Fair layout
last week.
I understand that proper procedures
were not followed. I also want to make it
clear that the fault in this lies in the S&A
offices, and in the people in power there.
Libya T.M. Taylor is a third year
student at Evergreen.

M.~H~"ster sta!!,~ ~~!!!~~~

We must join together and fight! I
call upon my fellow humans to rally round
and work as one to destroy the monster
that's dividing and conquering our beloved
community . Apparently there is a creature
of unknown proportions lurking about our
precious town causing all kinds of trouble.
As it goes, the beast only shows itself to
certain people. Many do not know of its
existence, or so they claim. I have never
actually seen it but I've felt its presence
several times. Some claim its telling them
what to wear, what to eat, what to drink
and where to drink it and that if they
don' t cooperate and conform, they are
subject to severe penalties. Others recount
instances of snubbing so intense that the
Ego-ambulance dispatch center could not
keep up with demand. I can only feel

plagued by the trauma of personality
manipulation. I've heard sad tales of
people lying awake at night, trying to
anticipate its next move only to be foiled
by the uncanny popularity of more
arbitrary characteristics like gender , bad
vision, sexual orientation and addictive
vulnerabilities. It feeds on ' fear and
righteousness. It lives through isolating its
victims and distorting their otherWise clear
perceptions of society and humanity. Just
so you know it by name, this wicked
behemoth is often called "The Scene." I
believe we have the power to annihilate
this demon, this ... CUlprit, if we learn to
accept others as well as ourselves. Take
what you want from this.

OPBC needs student opinion
By Jenni Mechem
The Labor Center will lose funding.
The Recycling Coordinator will be
eliminated. People of color will be laid off
disproportionately because of state
seniority policies. True or false? It's up to
you to help decide. We've all heard the
rumors, seen the letters and petitions, and
speculated on the outcome. The budget
cuts are coming, and decisions are being
made right now about Evergreen's future.
Those decisions are now being made
by the Operational Pianning and Budget
Council (OPBC) , made up of of TESC
administrators, staff, faculty and three
students. Each division within the college
has held discussions about possible budget
cuts, and has made recommendations to
the OPBC. The divisional plans were
. presented at the large ' public meetings at
the end of Winter quarter, and some
public comments were gathered at that
time. This quarter, the OPBC has
combined those divisional plans and
comments into a final proposal to be
presented to the Evergreen community on
Monday, May 10, 3 to 5 p.m. in LH I.
This proposal and any new public
comments will constitute the OPBe's final
recommendation- to President Jane Jervis
and the Board of Trustees. Copies of the
proposal will be available on tables in the
CAB and from the President's Office by

"

Thursday or Friday of this week.
Pick up a copy, look it over, and
tell Jane Jervis and the OPSC what you
think . The fina l proposal contains a lot of
compromises; everything in life does, but
some compromises are acceptable, and
some are not. 'It's up to you, as a student,
a citizen of Evergreen, to tell the
administration what your priorities are.
Cuts that make sense fiscally may contlict
with Evergreen's goals, and you may have
a different sense of how to achieve those
goals than the OPBC does. As a result of
community response, the Labor Center
and Recycling Coordinator may be kept.
The council has talked about minimizing
layoffs in areas which would affect staff
of color.
The OPBC has tried to represent all
constituencies within the college, but has
not heard from very many students. Unti l
all voices have been heard , this process
cannot be over. Come to the public
meeting on Mon. , May 10, answer this
questionnaire and
submit written
statements to the President's Office as
soon as possible. Put your questionnaires
or comments in the boxes in the '
Bookstore, Library circulation desk , '{)T
the President's-Office.
lenni Mechem is one of the studelll
representatives on the OPBC.

Budget Questionnaire: These questions are meant to stimulate debate and elicit
thoughtful opinions. Belong or short in your answers, butdo answer! Surveys must be
turned in by May 13 to collection bo~es in the Bookstore, the Library circulation desk
or Presidentl ane J ervis~ office (L31 09). Feel free to conti nue your answers on iffiother
piece of paper.

1. What do you feel are the rnost irnportant parts of Evergreen that should
be preserved? What should absolutely not be cut?
2. Is there anything that you would be willing to give up in order to
preserve that most irnportant thing? Anything you think is nonessential
or could be reduced?
3. It's never as simple as giving up one thing to preserve sornething else;
what priorities would you use to guide the decisions?

thern? Can you suggest alternative courses of action?

In response to Seth "Skippy" Long ("One
Bad Step ... ", in the April 22 issue: Get a
life.
Mr. Long is aggrieved because the
Office of Financial Aid denied his
application for Work-Study support
. because he was "a bit slow" in providing
his documentation. It would be interesting
to know just how slow "a bit" is. But
from the indignation and entitlement in
which his letter is awash, One suspects it
does not matter. Mr. Long feels he is
being unfairly punished by the meanies in
tbe Office of Financial Aid - heartless
bureaucrats, no doubt - and demands
flatly, "I want my money back. "
In fact, to except Mr. Longfrom the
rules unfairly punishes all the others who
took whatever pains were necessary to
abide by them. His position is unjust.
I think the facts of his case sU'ggest
an even larger complaint. I suspect that
there are many talented and motivated
would-be-students who are not in school
solely becaldse they lack the resources. On
the evidence of his writing and avowed
goals - " ... to get an education so he can
hide in grad school till he's 30," - Mr.
Long is not among them. I'm sure I am
not the only taxpayer supportive of a
public investment in deserving and needy
students who \liould be appalled at the idea
of one hiding out at, even partially,
taxpayer's expense.
To Mr. Long, and others in the
same category, I say I really want MY
money back . Only in this case the use of
the possessive case is justified.

Peter, Vanessa, Lovi<tR:
Bitch, Bitch, Bitch!
It doesn't take much effort to sit at
a computer and complain about your discontents with the Women's Center, does
it? It does tak~ a lot of effort and courage,
though, to try and make the Women's
Center a place for every woman. As
matter of fact, it takes a hell of a lot more
work than two women are capable of. Can
you say "volunteers?" The insult was duly
taken by a dozen women. Thanks, han!
As for your fear of "Men rape Women" stickers, and women who are raging
from the realization of massive oppression
and violence against women since the
beginning of time, you must really be
. terrified of" Safeplace," another place that
desperately needs volunteers. There's that
word again!
If you're too afraid of the idea of
talking to one of the Women's Center 00coordinators about your suggestions on
how to please all women everywhere, or
heaven forbid volunteering and doing it
yourself, then move to Idaho and join

Definition of
terms important

I am writing in response to recent
letters concerning the issue of language.
Several writers have attempted to deflDe
words and
phrases
that certain
communities have retained.
1. RACISM : Racism is allowed to be
defined from a euro-based way of
thinking, supported through text, and,
according to Peter Madsen, the word is
"fairly young" appearing in an "english
dictionary in 1936. " Yet when those of us
who have felt the effects of racism in
amerikkka (people of color) attempt to use
our life experienced definition (long
before 1936), not only is it discounted,
but we are labeled racist ourselves. Many
p.o.c. and our allies subscribe to a theory
that "power plus prejUdice = racism," not
a very popular theory to some folks with
privilege, but it works for us. I find it
offensive that some white people in
amerikkka
would
discount
our
experiences. How dare you, Mr. Madsen,
attempt to argue the theory of racism. I
only hope that you are more respectful
when you address your graduating class.
2 . MEN RAPE WOMEN: What's so hard
about believing this statement? Of course
statistics will show that women also rape,
yet the majority of cases in amerikkka
involve men raping women and other men
(l happen to be a survivor of rape from a
man). So, when I read that people are
upset at this phrase, I have to 'wonder
what they are afraid of or are in denial of.
3. Why are you White men (Todd Mauer,
Peter G. hey, Peter Madsen, etc.) so
eager to discount the words of the rest of
us? It is easy for white men with privilege
to argue a point that they know .will be
supported by their euro-patriarchal
doctrine. Get a grip and grow up please!!
4. POWER + PREJUDICE = RACISM;
MEN RAPE, MEN CAN STOP RAPE;
PATRIARCHY IN AMERlKKKA IS
EUROPEAN BASED. DEAL WITH IT.
To all of my relations,

G.W. Galbreath

Misspellings:
a CP-J agenda
I am writing to protest (surprise) the
flagrant,
pointed
and
egregious
misspelling of my name, Jeremiah, in the
April 22 CPl cover story titled "s&A
asks KAOS to rec'o nsider priorities. " I am
offended and more than a little hurt by
this vicious broadside, which reminds me
of nothing less than former President
Bush's childish insistence on rhyming the
name Saddatn with .. Adam," presumably
to get Mr. Hussein's goat. Well, it won't
work with me! I have endured . many
similar attacks from that execrable little
snotrag, Sound Out, but I was heretofore
unaware that tbe people behind the CPl
harbored such animosity toward me. See
if I ever grant you people another
interview! From now on, I guess you'll
just have to try to make sense of the S&A
Board Minutes, a dismal task that you
could have avoided by keeping a copy of
the Good Book handy.

Who among 'us has not been regaled

that can be) by our fellow Greeners,
waxing nostalgic about Nirvana gigs in the
Mods? Well. kids , Nirvana is gone :
Nirvana is major label; Nirvana is over.
"What's next?" you should be asking
yourselves. Musical vigilance must be the
order of the day if you hope to catch the
wave which is the avant garde and perhaps - have a tale of your own to tell.
So just sit right down. The doctor is here.

again. Perhaps you'll require medical
attention. But in a good way.
" Whaddaya got?" you're asking.
(Yes , you are. So shut up .) Why , music
of many flavors: Pop music. Classical .

Modern one-acts will engage even reluctants
by Chuck Wright
Evergreen's first One-Act Play
Festival begins Tuesday, May 18 and runs
through Saturday, May 23. There are two
sets of sho,,!s, containing seven plays in
all . The plays are, for the most part ,
directed , acted and technically . run by
students.
The first set of plays in the festival
begins with Lone Star, a comedy of male
bonding in the dying West , written by
James McKJure. wne Star is followed by
two one-acts written by senior thesis
student Trista Baldwin. The first of her
plays, Dining Our, is a black comedy of
modem relationships as overheard in a
restaurant. The Knocking, her second
play , is a complex drama of one woman's
struggle for love and self-definition amidst
the realities of working class life. This
first set shows Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday at 8 p.m .
The second set , showing Wednesday

Abbey's Zoo Story, a psychological drama
centered around a clash between a
transient and a businessman on a park
bench in New York City. The last play is
David Mamet's Dark Pony, a i1eeded
lu~laby after an evening of excruciating
emotion.
This festival of modem American
plays offers two nights of intensive,
unresolved crisis, punctuated by the range
which seven separate performances allow.
The Festival promises to engage even the
most reluctant audience member.
The festival will be held in COM
209. There will be a reception following
the opening of Trista Baldwin's shows on
Tuesday, May 18 . All the performances
are free. Come be a part of Evergreen
Theater.
