Assau t prevention
recomendations
Greetings Greeners,
My name is Rosalinda Noriega. and 1
am a class of '98 Grad. Last january I was
welcomed back to campus as the new Sexual
Assault Prevention Coordinator. After
holding this position for only six months, I
have moved on to a full-time position with
the Washington Coalition ofSext..al Assault
Programs. As excited as I was to return to
the Evergreen community for this position,
my reason for the quick turnover was a
mailer of financial stability.
The Office of Sexual Assault Prevention
is funded for 14 hours a week, ten month s
out of the year. During the summer months,
I sea rched for other part-time employment
to supplement my income and sustain me
during th e months when the Sex ual Assault
Prevention Coo rdinator position is not
uncl er co ntract. I knew coming into the
position that it was only 14 hours a week ,
but I worked and hoped to make that
change.
In t he spring, I wo rked with
Evergreen's Administration in app lying for
a Department of Justice grant to address
Violence Against Women on Campuses. It
is not yet known if Evergreen will receive the
grant. Th e Dept. of justice will announce
their decisions later this month. It was my
hope that the grant would supplement th e
current funding provided by the Vice
President for Student Affairs Office.
The college has funded the program
since 1994. It is the Sexua l Assault
Prevention Coo rdinator's responsibility to
coordinate co llege and community
resources to ensure an effective system of
sex ual assault prevention services ,
compliance with policy and procedures, and
an ongoing campus sexual assault
education, training, and aJvocacy program.
This is quite a task to accomplish in only 14
hours a week, but I believe it can be done
with the support and involvement of the
community.
In 1997, Washington State received- a
federal grant to fund prevention programs
targeting sexual violence . In order to
maximize the effect of these prevention
dollars, administrators at the Office of Crime
Victims Advocates and the Department of
Health assemb led an advisory committee of
experts to strategi ze a statewide plan to
reduce sexua l violence.
The committee identified the followin g
goal for the state:
To impact the underlying causes of
sex ual violence through the shifting of
ownership of solutions from social services
to the community using a community
developm ent approach .
It is this community development
approach that I have been lea rning about
since I came to WCSAP. I'd like to share this
approach with you in the hopes that thi s
knowledge will empower those with th e
energy and commitment to con tinue th e
development of a preve ntion program
during the absence of a coordinator. Sexual
assault prevention is not something anyone
can do alone. What I mean is, no one person
has all of the answers on how to prevent
sexual violence from occurring in their
community, but together we have th e
answers.
Community development is a
co llaborative effort of key people at ever)'
level of the community, including students,
department staff, and administration ;
working together to proactively address the
underlying conditions that enable sex ual
violence to occur in the community. This
group forms a partnership known as the
Stakeholders who represent the combined
knowledge and wisdom about your

I
Much of what goes on I do not get details on. I don't get
driver's license numbers. victim's names. or addresses. I have
to speculate on motives. often details of stolen property, and
anything not included in the initial report. Which I means I
lack a lot in the reports.
When it comes to suspect's names,l know them. I made a
choice not to use them, even though I could, and that's pretty
much that.
So Police Blotter basically consists of a few details, some
speculation, and often vain attempts to present what goes on
in an average Police Blotter in a fairly humorous manner. To
quote a sage radio personality (Paul Harvey), "now you know
the rest of the story."
On with the mayhem...
Sept_ 22
3:30a_m.
The week starts off on an interesting note
when Crime Watch reports three men jumping up and down
on the hood of a blue Volvo. They later confess to jumping on
two other cars as well. No motive is given in the report, so I'm
going to go with a protest against 1-745. It makes as much sense
as anything at this school.
Fire reported off the beach trail from F-Lot.
12:58 p_m.
No doubt it was fed by the amount of clothing that seems to
come off the bodies of people once they hitthe beach,. At least,
one would think that, according to the number of indecent
exposure incidents I've seen in the blotter.
A person at the Computer Center is told to

Seattle so I won 't be doing it anymore."
11:16 p.m.
The scene: Q-Dorm. The event: a party. The
plot: a man gets busted for hand rolling "a marijuana cigarette."
When he is asked if he has any dope in his bag, he places his
hand on it, thus guaranteeing the police will suspect it. He
eventually stutters "I have a little pot,"which turns out to be 8
sandwich bags worth. He is charged with possession and intent
to deliver.
Sept. 23
Nothing happens. Seriously.
Sept. 24
12:17 a.m.
Subjects found with illegal fireworks .
Sounds like they're the same people setting off an M-80 in my
parking lot every single night for the last two months.
9:50p_m.
Habitation violation in C-Lot. Here's an
example ofsomething I have no details on. Feel free to make up
who was sleeping in C-Lot, what they were sleeping in, and
whether not a Volkswagen was involved.
Sept 25
9:24 aJIL
The first and only fire alarm of this week
happens in the CRe.
10 a.m_ Astudent tries to steal a massively expensive textbook
by placing it on the counter near the book bag drop and picking
it up once he has gone through the alarms. Unfortunately for
him, he gets caught. He admits he took it because he did not
have financial aid go through.
angry and smashed her radio. When she tried to reach the Police
and then later 911, he ripped out the phone cord. so she couldn't
call. He then went outside and threw his bike on the ground,
kicked it repeatedly, and left. She was given a Victim Rights
pamphlet, the police officer requested a warrant fil ed on him
for Malicious Mischief and Interfering with the Reporting of
Domestic Violence. and Housing requested that he be
trespassed from the area.
1:14 p.m_
Another theft in the Bookstore occurs when
a woman steals a bottle of nail polish remover. When asked
why she stole the Cutex, she said she was in desperate need of
remover and then showed the officer her nails.
10:47 p.m.
Two students are kicked out ofa condemned
home after police find them sleeping there.
Sept. 26
12:18 p.m.
Eerily, history repeats itself again when
another student tries to steal books with the very same method
employed at 10 a.m. yesterday. He also fails, and even more
worrisome, cites lack of funds as the reason he stole.
Sept_ 'J:l
Once again, not a single interesting thing happens. At least
nothing reported.
Sept 28
1:3la.m.A confrontation between a man and a police officer
about his sleeping in B-Lot leads to the declaration by the man
that he does not care if it is against the law, he will spend the
night in B-Lot.

mission statement is developed, the
s tak eholders will mee t to discuss and

address the underlying conditions because
these are the root causes that all ow sex ual

One th in g that troubles Oscar is that not

says that stud en ts mi ght have the

"W hen yo u come to Evergreen. you are

says Oscar. "When you dOll't take advantage
of what the school offers. it's like lett ing ihat

Oscar remembers a student he helped
when he was an adviso r in 1975. A Vietnam
veteran who was attending the college was
havi ng a hard tim e fitting in and wasn't sure
he should stay. The ca mpus wasn'l always
welcome to vets. Anti-war sentim ent was
dominating colleges and universities across
the cou ntr y. especiall y at Evergreen, which
has a rich hi story in socia l and politica l

"I think we have students and fac ulty who

Th is doesn't always create a congenial

from page 4
Oscar has found over the years that students
ulicn face two academic hurdles. The first one
IS rea lizing th at their ideas are important to
0 1hers. Although some students may have
Illore experience and knowledge on certain
,ubjects, any student's contribution can be
helpful to others, no matter what point he or
she may be at. A student's opinion is equally
important as a tea cher's if it moves the
discussion forward.
"It 's my experience that if a student is
experiencing self-discovery and personal
awareness, the learning that takes place at
those moments tends to be more permanent
than learning received from a lecture," says
Oscar.
The second hurdle is for a student to become
truly engaged in his or her education. Oscar
says it starts with spending at least 40 hours a
week on schoolwork, which includes class time.
Since most students can complete their work
before the 40-hour commitment has expired,
this means going beyond your assignments.
This is comparable to the experience Oscar had
in his history class. It's when learning becomes
fun and you are doing it because you want to,
not because you are supposed to. This can
include rereading a book, reading book
reviews, researching additional titles from an
assigned author or doing additional research
on the subject matter.
Oscar's advice: "Come down (to student
advising) before you ne ed services, not
afterwards. There are so many things available
10 students you may not know what they are. "

that numerous protesters calling for the

A collection ofessays compiled in the new
book "Running Guns: the Global Market in
Small Arms" was released last week. The essays
detail a rapid increase in the trade of black
market weaponry, and find that these weapons
are used in the vast majority of killings by
paramilitary group and oppressive
governments around the world. The book
details the U.S. governments supplying ofsuch
weapons to rightwing paramilitary groups
throughout Latin America, and during the
Afghanistan/Pakistan and Angola/Zaire
conflicts. According to the book, the U.S .
authorized or delivered 3.7 billion dollars in
small arms and light weapons to 154 nations
through direct commercial sales or foreign
military sales between 1996-1998. The U.S.
opposes a proposed U.N. international treaty
banning gun running by governments to
insurgents. (more at Iwww.ips.orgl)
The U.S. authorized $1.3 billion worth of
weapons sales to Taiwan, angering Chinese
government officials who accused the U.S. of
meddling in its internal affairs. Taiwan is a
