Results of the
parking lot DTF
by Corey Pein
Very soon, the Evergreen
Administration will make important
decisions concerning the future of
parking issues on campus. Unfortunately, if you didn't make it to the
Parking Expansion DTF meetings
this week, you missed your last
chance to participate in the decisionmaking process. Following is an excerpt from the Evergreen Website
(under "What's New"), where this
stuff is archived. You might wanna
check it out.
"The DTF discussed and
eval uated various opt ions based on
four criteria:
Environmental Issues, User
Impact, Cost and Aesthetics (see
Appendix for complete list). Although a hired consultant developed options which provided parking for anticipated growth, the DTF
decided to recommend building
only enough parking spaces to satisfy permh requirements for Seminar II. After reviewing twelve formal options, as well as numerous
variations, the DTF recommends
Option 7. This option involves minor modifica tions to B, C, and F
parking lots with a net gain of 400
sta ll s at an estimated 'cost of
$400,000.
The rounded areas at the end
of each row of existing parking, as
well as the landscape "peninsulas"
current ly interspersed between
groups of parking stalls would be
removed to create additional stalls.
This option preserves the general
character of the parking lots and allows retention of many of the trees
in the current lots."

So it's November and I'm depressed. Why?
Could it be because Bush will most likely be our next
President? Perhaps. Could it be because there's pretty
much nothing I'm dying to take this winter for classes?
Maybe. Could it even be because no one's saying anything remotely original in their graffiti anymore, and instead repeating tired old slogans that motivate me to do
nothing more than sigh heavily and shake my head? You
betcha.
I don't know, there's just something about "1
don't even like Evergreen," scrawled on a much more
original and creative mural in the Ubrary stairwell, that
gets me thinking some people aren't even trying to be
different. Just because they put an anarchist symbol on a
piece of concrete, it doesn't make them a revolutionary.
What it means is that they don't have the actual courage
to do something about their beliefs or engage in a rational and persuasive discussion. Instead, they're just going
to play Zorro minus the swashbuckling, feats of
athleticism, and concern for their peers.
Oh well, on with the mayhem ...
Friday, Oct. LJ
2:22a.m.
Here'sasampleproblemforyoutopractice on. A--Student is seen leaving the loading docks with
two white carts. B-Afew hours later, Greenery carts are
reported missing. Now, does A equal B? The answer to
this: no. It develops that the carts the student has are file
carts from the CRC thatwere disposed of in the dumpster,
and thus, he gets to keep them.
7:55 a.m.
Someone calls 911 and hangs up-twice.
5:22 p.m.
One luckless driver is detained for driving with a suspended license, and an expired vehicle registration.
Today's incident that begins with an investigation into a fire alarm Lc; so great it can only be told
in the suspect's words. "I had some acetone in a plastic
container. I used the acetone to clean my pipe. I could not
get it clean so I used my lighter to bum the rest of the t.:'1f
out of the pipe. I did not realize how flammable acetone
is because when I used the lighter on the pipe the pipe
caught fire. I puta washcloth on the pipe to putitout, but
the wash cloth caught on fire. I dropped the pipe because
it was on fire and got too hot to hold. ll1epipe fell into the
plastic container that had acetone, the container caught
on fire,} put my sweatshirt on the flames to putitoutbut
it continued to bum. I went in the h.:.U and got the fire
extinguisher and was able to put out the fire."
Saturday, Oct. 28
1:40 a.m.
Someone tries to sleep in C-Lot, but is
kicked out of its warm embrace.
4:17 a.m,
Police take a person to the hospital after
he appears to be intoxicated on Reel Square. It turns out
he took some mushrooms, which would explain why he
kept repeating "hello, what, fine, asshole, yes."
1:23 p.m.
The other fire aIarm of the week besides
yesterday's far more interesting one, this one occurs on
the 3m floor of the COM building.
11:05 p.m.
There is a MIP on Indian Pipe Loop
Road, but no more details since the report is open.
Sunday, Oct. 29
A very creepy and disturbing event occurs today in BLot. Police catch a naked guy with a blanket over his lap
and a porno magazine at his feet in his car. "All the while
speaking with me the sweat was beading on his face,"
quotes one officer in the report. He says he was in the
deserted parking lot because he was "taking pictures of
some leaves and thought this was a secluded spot." Why
did he want a secluded spot? He replies "I was mastur-
bating." The man gelc; dressed, is arrested for lewd conduct, and is discovered later to have a criminal hi:.tlJry.
No word on what it i:" but an FBI number is written on
the report.
Monday, Oct. 30
A staff member comes in to work and finds the words
"Disarm TESC Now Les Puppet" and "Disarm TESC"
written on the Library 3100 hallway wall. Well, that certainly took a lot of thought.
Tuesday, Oct. 31
Surprisingly quiet. except for a case of someone impersonating a police officer. Gee, and on Halloween. Who
could have guessed that? Strangely, no one is arrested for
impersonating a professional wrestler, a plague victim,
or a man with duct tape on his face. This is reaUy quite a
shame.
Wednesday, Nov. 1
1:40~.m.
You knew we couldn't have a proper
police blotter week unless we had something strange
happening in P-Dorm. This time, it's reported that a window is broken, and graffiti is found on it. Something tells
me that's just the tip of a very large iceberg.
2:50 p.m.
An old classic for Evergreen, the car
prowl makes its return, with someone looking mighty
suspicious in-F-Lot. It's nice to see some traditions do continue.
Thursday, Nov. 2
4:29 a.m.
Another person tries to sleep at Ever'green, this time on the 3,d floor of the Ubrary. Alas, he or
she is sent out into the cold.
4:32 p.m.
A driver unwilling to pay money tries
to alter a parking pass and is busted. But you know, it's
only the unsuccessful criminals we've heard about ...
9 p.m.
And ~e end on a fairly boring and predictable note with graffiti on H-Dorm.

coming from. Some times you get
emotional or you fee l great and the
guys just don't understand that.
Loa is a graduate of Evergreen as of last year, and is co-captain of the women's team on Team
Evergreen. Loa is nationally ranked

be competing against the top women
in the country.
CPJ: So Loa, how did you become
such a wild kicker?
Loa: Well, the gi rl s were taller than
me, so I h ad to keep them away
somehow. So I developed some
kicks to beat them.
CPJ: All your opponents, even guys,
say you kick hard. How do you do
that?
Loa: (laughing) I enjoy it; r just do it
really hard.
CPJ: What's that triple kick you're
doing right now?
Loa: It's a double side to hooking
heel kick.
CPJ: How do you achieve that?
Loa: Fifty to a hundred a day, one at
a time.
CPJ: How does it feel to be a small
girl in the fighting ring aga inst big
people?
Loa: Scary, but once I get hit and get
mad I forget about it and go all out.
CPJ: Do you ever fight people your
own size?
Loa: Occasionally. I've fought a
couple my size, that's really fun.
CPJ: Why is that?
Loa: With a sma ller opponent the
odds are even, and I don't have to
worry about their power, strength,
and height advan tage.
CPJ: You win forms competitions a
lot; what's that like?
Loa: Lotsa fun and very hard, very
focused. A form is like lots of choreographed martial arts movements
in a row, which lets you express,
your energy, your crea ti vity, a nd
your understanding of the movement.
CPJ: Loa, you are really competiti ve;
wou ld you consider yourself aggressive?
Loa: Yes, absolutely.l can't stand losing. I like to win. Since I'm so small
and come from a family of shorties,
I always felt I had to be tough to defend myself.
CPJ: You graduated from Evergreen?
Loa: Finally.
CPJ: What did you study and what
were you into?
Loa: The only class I ever really enjoyed was anatomy and physiology
in my senior year. Though I also took
a wilderness first responder course,
which I totally liked, and got certified .
CPJ: Where do you see yourself
headed?
Loa: I'm looking into acup uncture
school, I'm gonna teach kung fu, and
r really love the outdoors. l see myself eventua ll y helping wome n and
children find themselves.
CPJ: What's it like being on a winning women's team on the winning
Team Evergreen?
CPJ: What's your greatest accomplishment?
Loa: That I'm winning in life, in competition, at my job, with people, with
my peers, and in myself.
CPJ: Is there anything you want to
say to Evergreen?
Loa: Recognize that there's a winning team on campus that has
Greener ideals, that shares Greener
philosophy, and that combines Evergreen ideals with winning attitude
to help you fulfill your liberal and
non-mainstream goals. One that
doesn't make you sell out and be a
Republican jock to be successful.
CPJ: Hey Loa, you grew up a vegetarian, yes?
Loa: Yes, because my parents were
hippie-yoga-SRF people. I didn't
taste meat until my second year of
college.
CPJ: What was that like?
Loa: Itwas a bite of filet mignon and
it was terrific, delicious.
CPJ: Who did you vote for?
Loa: Nader, of course.
CPJ: Why?
Loa: He's the only one who's got a
spiritual conscience and has a head
on his shoulders. He's not a total dip.
CPJ: What's your advice to other
women on campus?
Loa: Find someth ing that makes you
feel good abo ut yourself, that makes
you do the right thing for yourself,
and keeps you on track with your

An open letter Comic complaint
about Veteran's Day
Dear Greeners,
This Sa turday is the Veterans' Day
Holiday. It's a holiday that even today, even as
a veteran, is hard for me to "celebrate." My
ambi valen ce is rooted in my personal
opposition to war and in my persona)
participation in a war against the people and
the land of Vietnam.
My reasons for serving in the military are
persona) but not entirely unique. Growing up
in the 1950s, I was exposed to constant
indoctrination in the movies, in newsreels and
in school that America always fought the good
fight, that our battles were always for liberty
and justice. At eighteen, I was nei ther
eq uipp ed nor inclined to challenge my
government's decision to send me and
hundreds of thousands of other young men
and women to fight a war that we could not
understand or judge.
In 1969, the war machine was huge. It
had legitimacy and momentum. Thousands
had gone before me and thousands had already
given their lives. The war protests and the war
moratorium that occurred two weeks before I
received orders to go to Vietnam were not
enough to counter the government's demand.
mainstream soc iety's historical support of
wars, and the blood that had already been spilt.
I chose to accept the draft and follow orders to
Vietnam. I might make the same choice today,
if I were eighteen and lacked the personal
conviction that comes with experience.
Not everyone goes to war reluctantly.
Many of the young men who were my brothersin-arms believed the Vietnam war was a just
cause. Some may have been in denial, but some
came to that conclusion after thoughtful
evaluation of the circumstances there. Some
went suppo rting the war and returned in
opposition. Some returned fully supporting
the war. And I respect that.
Regardless ofeach soldier"'s politics, every
veteran left a part of him- or herself on the
battlegrou nd . Everyone who went was
changed by the experience. Iknow that it is true
as well for veterans of World War II, Korea,
Kuwait. Panama, the Balkans and every other
military action. All veterans of military service,
including all who served in non-com bat
settings, have given of themselves in important
ways.
After many years ofavoiding this holiday.
I gradually came to appreciate and value its
purpose, other veterans and myself. What I
believe and ask you to consider is that Veterans'
Day is not a celebration of the military or of
war. It is an acknowledgment of our fathers,
mothers, brothers and sisters who, for many
different reasons, have given of themselves in
ways that our government and society have
expected. It is an acknowledgment that many
of these men and women were put in
compro mising situations, life-threa tening
situations, life-changing situations. Finally. it
should be a time to reflect on what we dema nd
ofour youth, or currently. whatwe entice them
to volunteer for.
In 1983 I was an Evergreen student. On
Veterans' Day that year, students interrupted
our class clad in camouflage fatigues. They
charge d into our lect ure hall, yelling and
brandishing toy machine guns in a mock
assault. To me and others in the hall, their
message was clear: vets enjoy killing; they are
not folks we should honor. In recent years as
an employee, I've had other experiences with
Greene rs who welcome the chance to
acknowledge our veterans, including folks
whose fathers, mothers, sisters. brothers or
frie nds are veterans or were lost in combat.
And I'm wondering, "W hat do Evergreen
students think and feel today about veterans
and about this holiday?" I invite you to
respond to me, in the CPj or directly at
gallegos@evergreen.edu.
I hope you will take th e opportunity to
acknowledge the veterans who are faculty, staff
and students this Friday on campus, and the
vets in your family on the holiday, this
Saturday. They have earned it.
Dear Ed itor,
J was prompted to write this letter as a result of
some questionable content in two recent issues
of the CPj. The first regards the Editor's Note
explaining submission policies in the November
2 issue, and the second regards the comic "Life
of Maude" by the Comix Editor, which appeared
in the October 26th issue.
According to the submission policy, a submission
that contains a personal attack, promotes a selfserving agenda, feeds a squabble, or invades
someone's privacy will need to be revised. The
comic strip "Life of Maude" violates all of these
policies as well as a guideline in the Student
Conduct Code by containing a direct personal
threat. J know this (as do the various'people who
have come up to me in the last week saying things
like "You're fa mous' '') because I am the chintzy
crack whore in the comic (or Lardass if you'd
prefer) whose car gets torched wi th keroselle.
My issue here is not with the way Iwas portrayed
in this comic - I could care less about that - m)
issue is with the fact that an editor was allowed
to abuse her power and compromise her position
by breaking some of the e rrs own policies. Is it
the practice of the Crj to allow its staff to prin t
items that go against its own standards? Why
hold student submissions to guidelines its own
editors ca n't even abide by?
The student newspaper should not be used as a
space to get back at and/or threaten someone.
Isn't it supposed to be a place to inform readers
and showcase student talent?
Laurie Cox
~~
Editor's response
Last year the staff of the CPj attended a
college newspape r conventi on in Seattle. Many
members complained afterward, because little
of what was said applied to our situation.
That's exactly why I go t so milch out of
the confere nce. It opened my eyes to how
uniqu e our situation is. Most co ll ege
newspapers are produced by journalism
students, but not the CPJ. In fact, few of its
contributors have any interest in the tenets of
traditional journalism.
This allows the CPj to explore alternative
ways to inform and entertain its readers. It also
leaves its editors without much in the way of a
safety net. when it comes to making decisions
about what goes into the paper and what
doesn't. We can't rely on traditional standards,
but are forced to devise our own.
It 's especia lly difficult to apply traditional
sta ndards to comics. The medium is not
without power- the cartoons ofThomas Nast
shatt ered political corruption at the turn of tile
century-but our pe rception that comics are
inherently comical is beguiling.
Twe nty people gathe red in CAB 316
yesterday to discuss what standards we co uld
apply to comics. Some believed the publication
crit er ia should be less rigo rous th an those
applied to wholly textual submissions. Others
pointed out that clip art or stick figures could
camoufl age prose of any sort.
We may need to differentiate between
submissio ns, or we may need to app ly a more
rigorous illterpretation ofour criteria to all. We
need your help making this decision. for in the
words ofour comics ed itor, "the CPJ functions
acco rding to the input of the students who own
it. I look forward to hearing /Tom you."

through millennia. Despite all the torture, there was beauty waiting to be
found, words to be passed on, lessons
to be learned . But what of the minions
who never answered when the blame
was called in? Who stirred this test tube
of creation and combined the elements
deemed most effective for the purpose
of existence for that particular animal
combination? Where were our fingers
when the thumb was added on for the
purposes of hitching a ride? lndeed, let
us examine our personal role in the legends we speak of. Then, let us create
new ones without feeling the need to
involve battle, and torture, and sorrow;
for the old warlike cry of sadness has
played it<;e1f out.
