Welcome, fellow students. As your student
trustee on the Board of Trustees of the Evergreen
State College . I salute us. A great year lies ahead.
Besides attending two sessions of summer
school, I wore my trustee hl1t often. My first meetin g was June 8. I met so many people I hope there
won't be a test at the end of my term .
I spent forty-five minutes with each Vice
President. The purpose was to provide me a better
understand of what they do. when th ey do it and
why. I met with Jane Jervis. who was then our president. for additional orientation on my responsibilities.1 participated in graduation ceremonies, along
with my trusty fellow trustees. We trustees are dedicatt'd to thi, college community and the mission
statemen t that binds us all together.
The graduation celebration at the Tacoma
Campus was awesome. I at tended with Prrsidellt
Jervis. There was only ,tanding room at th e audi torium where this magical event took place. I was invited to S3Y a few word,. What pride shown in the
j.)ces orthe graduates and their fa1llilie,. The energy
in till' room became electrified by the talented entertalllment. Our fellow student, in Tacoma know
how. to have a party. I plan to visit often during the
up coming school year.
While attending my first sess ion of summer
school, I had the opportunity to hold
captive an audience of Sixty-five c1assm.ates who attended the Writer's Feast
at Pack Forest. When the last lecture
had been held, faculty bowed out and
I took the chance to introduce myself
and inform the group that a student
trustee exists and what the purpose of
having one is about.
I spent and hour with one of my
fellow writers, who is part of the reservation -based
program It was informative and I am looking forward to spe nding time with others in that program
when they come to study at the Longhouse on specific weekends during the school year. Our fellow students in this program are truly inspiring. I also spenr
time with other students who had questions or a
need to know who handles specific problems.
Second session of summe r school provided
the same opportun ity to introduce myself to my
classmates and answer questions. I was also able to
~pend ~ome time with our new president, Les Puree.
We exchanged biographies, goals, and concerns. A
r',
. board meeting was held on August 15. ~
September 14 will find the trustees in an all
day meeting. Cur meetings are fr.om 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Convocation on Sep tember 15 will provide yet an0)11('[ opportunity to meet new and returning students.

entirely ofEvelgreen students.
The S&A Board allocates this money to
more than fifty student groups on campus, as well .
as the CPJ, KAOS, the Child Care Center and the
CRe. Additionally, the Board hears special requests for funding from many of the se groups
throughout the year.
Over the next few weeks w.e will hire nine
students to comprise the 2000-2001 S&A Board .
If you will be enro ll ed as a full time 'student
through Spring, and are able to commit to two
meetings a week and a weekend long retreat in
November, please consider applying for this exci tin g, PAID position,
For more information , drop by the S&A
Board information booth at the Stucft;'nt"Activities Fair on the 18th, come upstairs to CAB 320,

A new borrowing system was
implemented over the summer that will
allow Greeners even more access to books
and materials not available in the regular
collection. It's called Cascade and it's cur·
rently accessible f(om the main library
web page.
With Cascade, Evergreen stu·
dents, staff, and faculty will be able to bor·
row from five Washington universities,
including Central. Eastern, U W, Western,
and Washington State. Items are usually
shipped within 72 hours if they're available
on the shelves, so it's a lot faster than deal·
ing with interlibrary loan. which often
takes several days or even weeks to get
Cascade works a little differently
than Evergreen's academic quarter·length
checkout policy. Items you borrow
through from the other colleges check out
for 21 days, plus one renewal if the item
isn't on hold for someone else. Also, the
amount of Cascade items you can get isn 't
limitless. I'm sorry to say you can only have
up to 100 books checked out and/or on reo
quest, so no checking out of mass encyclo·
pedias. ltems will be held for you for up to
10 days at the hold shelf after which, they
either return to their home library or check
out to the next patron.
Not only can you check out over
the internet but also if you happen to be
hanging out near one of the university li·
braries that participate in this system. you
can walk in with a current picture ID and
check out books directly. The difference?
Unlike checking out through the com·
puter, you might have to follow their borrowing policies, which could include li·
brary fines for late material.
Cascade's new to Evergreen.
which means there might be minor
glitches when dealing with this new sys·
tem. Be patient as the staff' is learning
alongside you. And as always at Evergreen,
ask questions ifyou're unsure about some·
thing or you want to know how to get the
items you want.

New E-mail Sys-
Harvest Fest
. Needs You!
tem For You
by Sherry Bloxam
Evergreen is implementing a new
student e-mail system. Here are some
reasons to be excited about the change.
Easy access to your e-mail If you can get
to the World Wide Web, you can get to
your e·mail. That includes anywhere from
India to Timbuktu.
Easy access to attached docUlpents. No
more complicated file transfer protocol to
send and receive attached documents via
e·mail.
Easy access to students in your program
or group. There will be a variety of mail·
ing lists to facilitate one step communica·
tion between you and your program or
group. This service has been requested for
many years.
Choice of e-mail programs. You can use
the e·mail program that is right for you.
We will be providing documentation to
help you make the right choice for your
situation .
Simpler e-mail address. Student e·mail
addresses will now be @evergreen.edu.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is doing this? Network Services is co'
ordinating this project. Many oth er
groups are participating in the work as·
sociated with this new system.
Where do I go for help? http://
www.evergreen.edu!newemail will be a
central location for information about the
new e·mail system. If you 're a student, ask
for help in the Computer Center from one
of the consultants.

through Fall Quarter so you can forward
old e-mail and addresses,
When will this system be available? The
new system will be available on or about
September 18.
We ask for your patience with
these changes. There may be unforeseen

It's fall, time to enter school once again, and I'm sure we're all happy to be back. Well, many people might not be, but
the daily keggers will probably allay their misery until they realize that it will never get better. But enough with the positive
thinking.
What happened at Evergreen over the summer? Did fire alarms still go off with a great majority of the student body
gone? Did Greeners still get busted for pot? In short, was there the mass insanity and madcap tomfoolery we've tome to
expect from going to such a wacky school like this? I am pleased to say the answer to all of this is an emphatic yes.
So buckle up and get prepared for the police blotter summer review. And believe me when I tell you it's a lot more actionpacked and gripping than most of the movies released this summer.
And now on with the madness .. .
May 31 A motorcycle tank bag is stolen from C-Lot. On the
lighter side of things, a smoke machine in T-Dorm sets off the
first fire alarm of what I'm calling "summer." It is amazing that
just when you think people have thought of every possible way
to set off one of those things, someone finds a new way. It's that
spark of creativity that Evergreen's famous for.
June 20 The most interesting fire alarm of the month occurs
when an experiment in LAB II sets it off. While I don't know what
the experiment was, I am hoping it has someth ing to do with
either creat ing artificial life or at the very least. burning something
to st'e what it does. Also, a bike goes missing from the seminar
building. which is not quite as wacky as the firt' alarm.
June 1 Negligent driving and driving without a license gets one
hapless soul in trouble, while yet anotherlire alann is set off, this
time in C-Donn with the ever-popular cause of burnt food.
June 2J One person gets busted for driving with a suspended
license. while another is ca ught for a "habitation violation" in CLot.
june 5 The woods hop is left insecure and Evergreen responds
Lo a call for assistance in Cooper's Glen (See Police Briefs).
june 23 Abusy day, crime-wise, as graffiti gets sprayed, posters
get taken down from the pillars in front of the library, and another
l'Ouch gets dumped on Lewis Road. No word ifit was the same
kind ofcouch that got dumped six days earlier. but I'm sensing a
strange conspiracy afoot. Combine that with the fact that an
informational roadway sign was stolen from its post on
Driftwood and a sinister pattern starts to emerge. I'm not sure
what it is, but rlliet you know when I find out.
June 6 Here's where the problem of non-creative baby names
comes into play. Seems a student almost gets trespassed off
campus for possessing a name similar to an alias for an Evergreen
trespasser. The lesson here? Change your name to something
extremely obscure and/or bizarre and you'll never have to worry
about mistaken iilentity again. Or not.
Meanwhile. a pet is found in K-Dorm . the tire alarm goes olfin
the seminar building, a student falls down the stairwell, and a
police car receives the grafliti treatment. No word on what was
sprayed but I'm sure it involved some clever pun orwitty remark.
Well, somewhat sure...

once again). but what I'm interested ill is the computer monitor
that got tossed off an A-Dorm balcony. Now that's just plain
wrong. I Illean it's one thing wht'll it 'sa pumpkin . but a computer
monitor? I guess when you finish your final st'minar paper lor
your c1as~. youllever want to see t he damn thing again.
june 8 Two lire a larm~ go off. one of them CJust'd by burnt
lood, with th e other one a malicious pull. Alld a person goes
missing. but I, alas, do not h;]\,t' titt' police rt'port lor that.
June 10 The police crack down today a.~ one person gets arrestt'd
lor obstrllction ofjnsticl', another is cited for possession of
marijuana. and a third is taken int o custody for violating a
protection order (See Police I3rief.~) . And another lire alarm goes

six fire alarms in the span ufn ine days. with no end in sight.

Labs up to? And will we find out before it's too late?

june 28 A backpack and a workshirt is stolen from the 1" floor
of the CA B.
June 29 Finally, things get cooking in the seedy underworld of
Evergreen. We have fireworks set offin Clot, an non-injurious
auto accident at the Organic Farm, a vehicle gets booted for an
altered parking pass, and the usual burn I food tirt' alarm rings
its merry little song. And this is with most of the population of
Evergreen gone.
june 30 The month wraps up rather non-spectacularly as one
person gels a DUI while another one gets snlllg by a bee on the
soccer field.
July 1 We kick offJuly with a case of illegal dumping of hazardous
mat erialsofrLewis Road. I'm guessing it wasn't a couch, but then
again ifit's from Evergreen it might very well be toxic waste.

July 16
A boy gets bitten by a dog at the CRe.
July 17 Filled with more twists than a pretzel, this incident
starts out harmlessly enough as a tale ofseveral students driving
erratically, doing donuts, and speeding. Then it becomes a tale
of matter theory and alternate universes wherein two suspects
with the same first name and middle initial deny they have been
told to stay away from each other. Finally, it ends up with family
bonding, as the father of one of the other offenders picks him
and takes him home.
July J8 We get back to the mundane world offire alarms as a
false one goes off in D-Dorm and another related to burnt food
resounds throughout the Organic Farm .
July 19 For a change, today's fire alarm is caused by a toilet
overflow in H-Dorm.
July 20 A vehicle is stopped on the Parkway. One passenger
flees while another is taken in lor violating a protection order.
July 21 Someone is arrested for driving with a suspended
license and drug p.araphernalia.
july 22 No. you're not seeing double. Another person is
arrested for driving with a suspended license and drug
paraphernalia. Are the crimes related? The world may never
know. Also, a car hits a sign in the Longhouse parking area.

people in Housing and the Library can best be summed up in
the suspect's own words. "I wanted to find out what smart tools
were, and nobody knew a damn thing. They were all very rude
to me; this is not the Evergreen I left. I went to the library and
was listening to music when this girl came up and asked if she
could help me. Who the hell does she thinkshe is? Her help me?
So I told her NO. can I help you? Then she told me that list ening
to music was private. That was a bunch ofshit, there was nothing
private about it." The suspect was transported to his car and given
a trespass warning.

Kids hanging out by themselves, graffiti in

three rap CDs were stolen from the bookstore, a car accelerates

He pulls the car over and as soon as he makes contact with the driver, he
sme ll s a very strong odor of alcohol on the man's breath. When he instructs
the guy to turn the car off and get out of the car, the man tries to drive away.
The officer then pulls the man out of the car and wrestles him into the car.
The officer ends up placing the driver in hand restraints. The man begins
to have breathing difficulties and a fire engine is called. However, he is cleared
and does not need medical attention.
The man ends up admitting h'e had a bottle of vodka while driving and
when tested, his blood alcoho l is .239. He is arrested for DUI and failure to
obey a police officer and taken to the county jail.
The driver is later taken to the hospital when it turns out he has taken
some prescription drugs while was drinking. Later he states that he wanted
to kill himself and that he didn't care ifhe hurt anyone driving.

DU I/Possession of Fireworks
Police observing traffic on the Evergreen Parkway spot a car speeding and
pull him over. They initially intend to just give him an infraction for having
no insurance and speeding, but then they smell alcohol coming from the
vehicle.
The man is then busted and eventually arrested for suspicion of DUI.
When searching the car, an officer finds not only an open beer can but also
33 packages of Black Cat flashlight crackers. Thus the man is charged with
DUI and unlawful possession of fireworks over one pound.
