Education requirement meeting
by Eryca Nelson
Is more general education in Evergreen's
future?
Evergreen's faculty will vote on two curricular
models proposed by the GeneraL,Education DTF
in two weeks time. The two models, called "Cross
Divisional" and "Spring Festival," both propose
more general education programs and more
required adviSing for all Evergreen students. The
proposed new advising wou ld be handled by
faculty, and encourage studen ts to come upwith
an "Academic Plan." However, neither proposal
would require students to take any programs.
Faculty has recently approved a list of
"Expectations of an Evergreen Graduate" that
these proposals are being built around. These
expectations are:
1. Define and assume responsibility for your
OWn work;
2.
Participate collaboratively and responSibly
in our diverse society;
3. Communicate creatively and effectively;
4.
Demonstrate integrative. independent,
and critica l thinking;
5. Apply qualitative, quantitative , and
creative modes of inquiry appropriately to
practical and theoretical problems across
disciplines;
6.
As a culmination of yo ur education.

learning and ability to reflect on the personal and

social Significance of that learning.
These expectations are going to starr showing
up around Evergreen soon. They may be in the
catalogue, in program descriptions. and other
places.
The "Cross Divisional" proposal would have
more general education programs offered in the
fall, while "Spring Festival" would offer more in
the spring. Although there are many differences
in the plans, both propose a "summative
evaluation" to be written by graduating seniors,
which would address the college's expectations,
the student's academic work. and post-graduate
plans. It would become part of the student's
transcript.
Concerns have been raised about requiring
teachers to take on these general education
classes, and that it wou ld take away from existing
curriculum. Other concerns expressed were over
more paperwork, prerequisites. and academic
freedom. among others.
These proposa ls are a culmination of a year

Internship Fair
on .January 31
by Flt-reh" .- Ward
Did you know that there is an
Intern ship Fair coming up on
Wednesday, Jan. 31, from noon t03 p.m.
in the Library Lobbies? This will be the
biggest gathering of internship
organizations Evergreen has ever
hosted. The groups scheduled to attend
include social service organiza lions,
environmental conservation groups,
eco-agricultural businesses, media
enterprises, community development
organizations and more - a total of over
60 groupsl There is no better
opportunity for well-prepared jlmiors
and seniors to make connections for
internships to round out their academic
work at Evergreen and provide real
world experience.
I am an Evergreen student, a senior,
as well as a s taff member working in
Academic Advi s ing. I have had
e xcellent internship experiences in
recen t quarters. Working with Olympia
Zen Center, I developed my computer
design and layout skills in the creation
of two publications. The first wa s a
ca talog of classes in the Zen Arts
Program . The second was hand-bound
sutra (scripture) books for everyday use
in ceremony. It felt great to not only
further my own learning goals, but also
to have a very positive impact within
this organization, creating useful
m aterials for the development of the
Zen community in Olympia.
The Internship Fair will bring
together dozens of organizations doing
exciting, worthwhile things in our
community. If you are considering an
internship as part of your learning at
Evergreen, I urge you to attend the Fair
and speak with the people from the
various groups. I also strongly suggest
you attend an Internship Orientation,
fa cilitated by Academic Advising and
offered weekly. There will be an
orientation session just before the Fair
at 11 a.m. , Wednesday the 31st, in
Library 2103.

Well, if you want to know tales of
shoplifting in the Deli and people with
open beers, it's a good week for you.
However, if you want to know other
things, like say, Mil's, domestic violence,
and missing persons, tough luck.
That's right. Not a single report is
available for them. Not one.
And is it me or are there more
arrests for drinking than in the past?
According to the Campus Grievance
Officer report, people investigated for
liquor violations went from 11 in 199899 to 39 in 1999-2000. And judging from
this year's police blotters, we're
p!"obilbly going to be able to beat that
record handily.
Thus, it leads to interesting
speculation for me. Has the procedure
for alcohol changed? Is there more
thorough investigation going on of
drunk s tudents? Or is it that my life is
doomed to ignorance and suffering in
an ex treme amOLmt?
Whatever the case, there's not a lot
of info this week. Lucky you. Lucky me.
On with the madness (however
brief it may be).

Monsanto . Santa Cruz RAGE
challenged Trader Joe's, a "natural
foods store", by hanging a banner
calling them "Trader GMO'S."
While RAGE groups do not do crop
pulls or other more militant actions,
they are in the minority of antigenetic engineering groups tha-t
speak in support of those·actions and
sometimes help them to be
publicized . Northwest RAGE, based
in Portland, has a large population
of enviro nmentally-conscious folks,
and has been act iv e with lots of
colorful, ed ucational rallies at targets
like Fred Meyer, Safeway, and
Trader Joe's. One of their goals, as
part of the Northwest Biotechnology
Action Coalition, is to have all
grocery stores in . the Northwest
remove genetically engineered foods
from their shelves.
Northwest RAGE is coming to
the Evergreen library this Thursday!
From 4 to 6 p.m., there will be a video
in Lecture HaILS, and a workshop
with discussion in Library room 2614
from 7 to 9 p.m. will also take place.
Contact
the
Environmental
Resou rces Cen ter for more
information at 867-6784. Check out
www. nwrage.org .
Friday at 4 PM in LIB 3500, upstairs in
the Library building.
You don't have to wait until April
to go to a cool ERC event. On
Thursday, January 25, there will be a
teach-in about genetic engineering.
There will be a discussion in a library
lobby from 4-6pm and a video in a
lecture hall from 7-9pm (exact rooms
to be announced). "Why should you
go to tills teach-in?", you ask. You have
50 mjlJion pages to read, a paper to
write, and 12 chemistry problems to
do, but this is important, damn it!!!
Genetic engineering affects us all
through the food we eat (even if it is
100% organic), the pharmaceutical
drugs we might take, or our concern
for the environment and the children
of the future.
Over half of the food on grocery
store shelves contains genetically
engineered
ingredients.
The
biotechnology and agribUSiness giants
(e.g. Monsanto) bought nearly all the
seed companies in the USA. This
means that much of the money spent
on food goes to a very few people at
the top of the corporate ladder.
Harvard Scientists are hard at work on
the human genome project. They
experiment on DNA ext racted from
blood samples taken from poor and
"genetically pure" human populations
in China. Genetic engineering is the
newest and fastest growing branch of
biology, and its effects on humans and
on the environment are unknown .
Come
before with great success.
Brian Goldberg, president of the
Anti-Defamation League in Seattle,
will facilitate the "Anti-Semi tism"
seminar. Anti-Semitism is not
limited to the Klan, White power, or
Nazi-ism.
We
will discuss
internalized Anti-Semitism and
racist aspects of the dominant
culture.
Rabbi Jim Mirel, a reform rabbi
from Seattle, will faelli-ate "Jewish
Spirituality". He will guide a
discussion on prayer and the Jewish
belief in God. Many Jews frnd
spirituality through other belief
systems. This seminar helps these
Jews put their personal beliefs in
perspective with their Jewish
identity.
Rabbi Marna Sapsowitz,
Olympia's local rabbi, will facilitate
"Assimilation". In this seminar, we
will talk about what it means to be a
Jew in America. Marna loves to
discuss "Who is a Jew?" and all that
this question entails_ In previous
Jewish Identity Workshops, she
created a very comfortable,
conver~ational atmosphere i.e. fim.
Susan Rosen, co-counselor and
participant of the Compassionate
Listening Project, will facilitate the
"Israel-Palestine" seminar. This is
always a heated and sensitive focus
of discussion with great potential for
personal exploration and growth.

'Why are they still here?'
By Matthew Clark. evening grill cook
The food service workers here at
Evergreen have recently been
recognized a labor union through a
federal agency. The weekly meetings are
bringing more workers to decide who
the shop stewards will be, and who will
form a bargaining unit to sit at the
negotiating table with Fine Host. The
union has battled for recognition from
the school and Fine Host for months,
and some have received _write-ups for
walking out. The last few months have
been tiring and confusing, but
nevertheless, the real work now begins
to bring the workers a living wage,
better working conditions and
treatment, and quality food service for
the TESC community. This will not
happen with Fine Host on campus.
So, the school doesn't want this
corporation here. Fine Host is making
meager profits. The workers generally
seem lmhappy with their jobs. Students
are pissed off about crappy food and the
recently jacked up prices for it. Why are
they still here? I guess there are reasons
they are, but I have to say I don't really
know enough about any of them to
explain. Their contract ends this
September, and the school probably
wants to keep them around for catering
the summer conferences. Fine Host
probably wants to squeeze some
remaining profits from the students. All
I know is, If I were in charge (which I
wouldn't be) of a company like this,
doing business here at TESC, I would
do everything in my power to pull the
company, out, and leave the nutrition of
students and the well-being of workers
to more competent hands.
Every one seems to be doing what
they can, with what they have. The
workers dealing with scanty wages and
many new (and demeaning) policies.
(Look, I basically work at McDonalds)
The cooks are doing their best with poor
quality ingredients, and tight food
budgets. The students must feel forced
to tolerate the mostly unhealthy and
overpriced food. And the corporation is
dealing with the administration of the
college.
Alrnosteverything that is sold here
(save the organic salad, and the
wonderful Vegan organic baked goods
made by my friend Allen, and treats
fro m Blue Heron) comes from a can, is
processed, is processed and frozen, is
dehydrated, or is manufactured/ grown
in an unsustainable way. The pizza crust
contains an ingredient, used as a filler,
which is not recogruzed as food by the
human body: hydrogenated cottonseed
oil. Cotton is for textiles, not food for
people! I also would gamble that many
things that are eaten here are genetically
modified in some potentially scary way,
or are factory fanned. (Or both, who

markets, such as Burrito Heaven, Top
Foods, and St. Martin's.
Smith also commented on the union
situation.
"Right now, we're going on with what
the employees want," he said. Once the
National Labor Relations Board
recognizes the union, Fine Host will
begin contract negotiations. He
estimates that Fine Host runs about 900
union shops.
When asked about Fine Host's tip
policy, he said that it allows tips for
coffee and catering, but not cashiers and
the burrito cart.
Smith said that Fine Host made it a
point to hire student workers, and that
Evergreen has more student workers
than any other campus that he handles.

intent of the union all along was to bring

one, everyone deserves these changes,

employee approached me and said the deli
was only serving students with cards, and
would not take cash. After that statement
she walked away.
My brain quickly processed the
information and determined that, first of
all, she is for real, and second, I needed
further information. They can not deny
me service. I am a loyal and respectful
customer-something they do not have
many of these days!
Upon questioning her as to why there had
been no advance notice to inform students
need.ing to attend classeS that only cardcarrying members would be served, she
told me that s he would speak to the
manager.
I waited near the office door, trying
to ignore my protesting stomach rumbling
at the delay.
After nearly five minutes (l clocked
her) of listening to laughter coming from
the open door, I made myself visible to the
occupants within the room. Another two
minutes passed before she came over, and
in a very unprofessional and cutting
manner, told me she had to open the till
and count the cash before I could be served.
I decided I would ignore her because
her voice and the look she had just given
me upset me further. I decided to question
the manager, Mr. Dane Hoerst.
He informed me that an e-mail was
sent out to the faculty on Thursday or
Friday of last week, and that they do not
have the cashiers with wruch to handle
cash-paying customers. I sensed no
sympathy from him, and after a few more
turns of conversation, was smugly told
that I could get a meal.
I looked at Hoerst like he was out of
his mind! After the trauma and drama that
I had just been subJected to, he actuaUy
expected me to stay there.
"How would you fed if you were
me," I questioned him? "After going
through something like thls, could you sit
down and eat?" r realized, by looking at
him, that that was one of my less intelligent
questions.

LETTERS & OPINIONS
English on· the Brink EI Salvador
Devastation
Bush
Opens
Mouth
r--------------,
by Gwen Gray
Grown men afraid;
Many pack bags
by Corey Pein
The far-off rustling you heard
last weekend, was, in fact, the
sound of thousands of dead
Patriots rolling in their graves as
"President" George W. Bush gave
his inaugural speech. For all, the
event was a sad spectacle of lies,
euphemisms, and impotent
promises.
Bush alluded many times to
his dubious foreign policies, and
the muse of McCarthyism seemed
to have returned to Washington.
Bush spoke of "the story of a
power [America] that went into
the world to protect but not
possess, to defend but not to
conquer." I believe that Lennie
better expressed this sentiment
when he said "I didn't mean to
hurt them, George." Setting new
precedents in hubris and
arrogance, Bush said "If our
co untry does not lead the cause of
freedom, it will not be led."
Obviously peaking on power
a nd celebri ty, Bush m e n tioned
some big new plans for the
military. "We will build our
defenses beyond challenge,"
quoth Bush, "lest weakness invite
challenge." Hinting at the planned
Strategic Missile Defense system,
Bush said, "We will confront
weapons of mass destruction, so
that a new century is spared new
horrors ." This statement was
accurate, if you do not consider
George W. Bush's finger on the
button to be a horror.
Bush's commitment to lunacy
remained prevalent while he
prattled about domestic affairs.
Showing compassion tempered
with bloodlust, Bush said " ... the
proliferation of prisons, however
necessary, is no substitute for hope
and order in our souls." Bush
urged Americans to "show
courage in a time of blessing by
confronting problems instead of
passing th em on to future
generations." Those problems
evidently do not include of the
growing hole in the atmosphere,
the ever-shrinking production
capacity of the United states, and
the increas ing centralization of
power at wealth, as Bush failed to
mention them.
The First Amendment writhed in
agony when Bush said "Church,
synagogue, and mosque .. . will
have an honored pla ce in our
plans and in our laws." When
giving his "solemn plege ... to
work to build a single nation of
justice and opportunity," Bush
cited the Divine Right of
Presidents. "I know this is in our
reach because we are guided by a
area, "'lILl~~~

. The theme of the day seemed
to be one of pride in the protestor
tqrn-out, but also an utgency to
continue. the fight for true
democracy and fair, unbiased
elections. However daunting this
fight may be, tl\e masses of peqple
in Seattle on inauguration day
seemed optiriUstic, especially in
their p~sionate repetitions of a
chant from the civil rights

power larger than ou~selves who
creates us equal in His image." It is
fortunate for Mr. Bush that God is on
his side, because only He can work
miracles.
Eliciting many lamenting laughs and
numb stares of fear, Bush appealed
to America, "I ask you to be
citizens ... citizens, not subjects."
Pundits are closely analyzing this odd
remark. One expert said, "There are
very many things wrong with that
[comment]. One, If he really wanted
the American people to act as citizens,
he would have been forced to
relinquish his post and abandon his
plans (as he has nothing close to a
popular mandate). Two, few voting
Americans consider themselves to be
'subjects', and to imply that they do
is bad politics not to mention bizarre."
Another curtly said, "Well, Mr. Bush,
we ask you to be a president, not a
dicta tor."
I was just thinking: When is a
language dead?
I've been wondering how you know
when a language has died. I know that
we declare a language dead when the
business of life is no longer conducted
through and around it. But how do we
know exactly when it happens? What,
for example, was the last sentence
spoken in living Latin?
I've been wondering about this,
because I have noticed that my
language is dying. English as I know
it is disappearing, and it's being
replaced by something similar, but not
quite the same. In thirty years, the
changes will be much more dramatic.
The basic framework will be the same,
and the slang will make no sense at
all, but the important changes will
happen in between. Words coined in
my childhood will be obsolete, and
grammar will be unrecognizable.
People who speak the next
generation of English will probably
still say that "prodigal" means
wandering instead of wasteful, but by
then the incorrect definition may
actually be in the dictionary. This
unpleasant fact became inescapably
clear to me when I was talking to my
grandfather and he said:
"I can't stand the way you use T
and 'me' as though they were almost
interchangeable. Your Aunt Ellen does
it too, and it grates on me like 'ain't.'
No, it's worse than 'ain't,' because
now when most people say 'ain't:
they're either doing it for effect or
they're quoting."
"Come to think of it," I said, "I
don't think anyone ever taught me the
difference. I know that there's a
formal rule, but no one else seems to
care. "
It was true. I know that there's a
difference, but not what it is. I've been
to eight schools in sixteen years, so
there are gaps in my education where
my new teacher had finished what the
last one hadn't started yet. "'I" and
"me" sort of fell through the cracks,
and it has never been an issue before.
Yes, the part of my brain that tells me
to recycle and eat spinach feels that a
THr; ~OV6~l1JR.eS Of"
writer should know more grammar
than I do. Sadly, it also feels I should
be fluent in four languages and read
the whaling chapters in Moby Dick,
so I don't listen to it much. I kept
thinking about what my grandfather
had said though.
It really surprised me that my
aunt is also guilty, considering that
she's finishing her doctorate in
English. I believe that I missed 'I'
and 'me' the same year I bypassed
the metric system. I don't believe you
could be writing your thesiS for a
doctorate in English and never have
had the difference explained to you.
For that matter, my parents are both
teachers and they've never said
anything about it. My guess is that
neither of them cares. Apparently,
the seven or so English teachers I've
had since high school started didn't
care either. The distinction between
"I" and "me" seems to be part of a
version of English that's in an
advanced state of demise. It's eerie
to realize that my grandfather's
English is already mostly dead.
My English is dying, and
someday I'll be surrounded by
people speaking the next English,
which will seem like a twisted
version of this one. Meanings will
have shifted or appeared out of
nowhere and grammar will seem lax
and random . I will almost certainly
hate it. I have begun to think,
though, that I will be wrong .
I would rather not think this
way. My most persistent bad habit
is correcting other people's word
usage. I regularly get purple in the
face trying to explain to people that,
for example, "celibate" and "chaste"
don't mean the same thing.
"Celibate means unmarried. If
you're not married, you can do what
ever you want with whoever you
want and still be celibate. If, on the
other hand, you practice sexual
abstinence, then you are "chaste."
There's a difference. Also, "ironic"
and "unfortunate coincidence" are
not the same thing. This problem got
major publicity from that stupid
song, and people still don't use the
word right. And could we all stop
saying "antidote" when we mean a
short, amusing story? It would make
me very happy.
I care intensely about what words
are supposed to mean, so I'll probably
hate it when the language changes
around me. All the same, I've been
thinking about it, and I have a terrible
feeling that what's important is that it
make sense to as many people as
possible.
There are people who say that it's
pathetic to surrender to the demon that
is 'popular usage: I like the sound of
that. I wish I believed it, and I sort of
do . But I know that the word
"language" means: "the use of words
as
a
method
of
human
communication."
Human
communication. There's nothing in
there about preserving original
meanings, or what system you have to
use to make it coherent. So, say a lot of
people think a word means one thing
and a punctuation mark can be used a
certain way, and a small group of
people know they're wrong. Is it more
important to use the word as it was
meant to be used, or to communicate
with it? Is it even up for discussion?
People seem to know what they
mean. Nobody knows what to do with
commas any more (myself included,
obviously). They say "celibate" when
they mean" chaste." Even so, they
understand each other. They have lost
the word "celibate" to describe being
unmarried, but they don't seem to miss
it. They can always say "unmarried,"
after all.
My English is dying and being
replaced with a different version of
itself. I can't say that I like it, but I think
I might come to accept it. Language is
for communicating, and you can only
communicate if you agree on what the
words mean. Insisting on original
meanings doesn't seem to be working,
so for the sake of communication I
might move with the times. It would be
noble and sensible and besides, the
shifts in the language won't become
obvious for about fifteen years, so I
don't have to do it yet. For now, I can
take satisfaction in the fact that my
dictionary still defines "celibacy" as
"the unmarried state."

Dear Evergreen Community,
As you are all aware by now,
there has been a terrible earthquake
in El Salvador that has killed
(officially) hundreds, and that figure
will probably go into the thousands.
In addition, thousands are now
homeless and the economy has been
severely disrupted. As you probably
know, El Salvador suffered through a
12-year civil war, where the
government of EI Salvador was
financed by the U.S. Government.
That war ended in 1992. I have been
active in the Committee in Solidarity
with the People of El Salvador
(CIS PES) for almost 20 years and have
visited El Salvador several times. At
the present time, CISPES is involved
in a humanitarian effort to raise
needed funds to help the people of
that distressed country.
If you are able to help, please
contribute toward Salvadoran relief
through an organization that you
trust, such as the Red Cross or a
religious organization that you know.
If you would like to contribute
through CISPES or U.S. - El Salvador
Sister Cities groups that I can
personally vouch for, I have included
th e contact numbers and addresses
below. I would be willing to forward
any donation if you wish. I am in
Seminar 4109. Checks made out to
CISPES Education Fund are tax
deductible. I realize that not everyone
can donate, but please keep the people
of El Salvador in your thoughts. The
most recent information can be
obtained at www.cispes.o[s. Thank
you.

Humor is one of the most highly
evolved forms of a culture. To
understand, to really" get the joke",
is more than just understanding the
words. It's about the subtleties of
context and tradition. Tom Rainey
(Professor Emeritus, Slavic Studies)
once told me that as much as he loved
the Slavic people and loved to travel
there, he realized he, " just didn't
laugh in that language." Humor is as
essential and ingrained into a culture
as it is hard to define.
Humor
comes
from
an
unexpected outcome, a twist to a story
or situation. In any joke there is a
certain amount of tension or
apprehension that is being relived in
the act of laughing. Immanuel Kant
said laughter is "the sudden
transformation of a tense expectation
into nothing." That's part of the
reason I think so many people
associate jokes with some sort of
aggression, the other that a joke is
almost always at the expense of
someone. Somebody has got to get
the pie in the face or it just ain't funny.
I'll admit it: I love cartoons, comics,
animation, especially the old Warner
Brothers cartoons or the daily NonSequiter and I really miss Calvin And
Hobbes ... Basically I like to laugh and
I appreciate humor whether its
sophisticated satire like GfClening or
Wiley or the base slapstick and
vaudevillian pace of Bugs Bunny. This
world can get pretty grim if you don't
have that release. Which brings me to
why I'm writing this. In regards to the
bulk of the Cprs comics, I don't get
it! To be fair the paper prints just
about everything we, the student
population care to submit (they
printed this, didn't they?). So this is
not rant about the Cprs editorial
policy.
What I really want to do is raise
the bar a little, challenge the artist/
cartoonis t communi ty to stretch
themselves a little. There are some real
opportunities to lampoon the status
quo, to satirize campus life, politics ...
Instead what I see mostly is all shock
and no gag. There's no release, no
laugh in these comics, just more
tension. I guess what I'm saying is
that really isn't anything you can put
in a cartoon that's going shock me, the
world's already pretty shocking but,
you can make pause, you can make
me think, you might even make me
laugh - if you tried .

Craig: I've been coaching at St.

Evergreen was going to start a

that. I had been in touch with some
people on campus [students] that
were involved in the cross-country
club that was going and talked with
them; and I came and talked wi th
some people here in the CRC and
athletics and found out that, yes,
they were going to start a program.
And yes, when it did come out that

How one feels at the end of a
season is contingent upon how the
season went. A winning season and
you feel ecstatic, as if you have done
som ething, accomplished a goal, and
reac h ed a place that you had to
struggle for. Alternately, at the end
of a losing season, you keep thinking
back, but what if ... and, well, I did
okay so it doesn't really matter. I
have had the for tune and bad luck
to experience both of these in the first
half of my senior year.
Competing and winning at the
World Championship Super Grands
of Sport Karate was unbe lievable;
the exci tement, the competition,
being s urrounded by the team . .. It
was the cul minati o n of tw e lve
months of competing, traveling, and
winning points. It was the greatest
competition that I have ever been to
in eleven years of playing sports.
After it was all over, I look back and
think, "That ruled ." I actually am
ranked nationally; I stood a nd
fought some of the top point fighters
in the world; I made it to the Super
Grands. The memories of the year,
of the competition, and of the people
I was surrounded by will never go
away. What we did stands as a mark
for the club and team we represent,
for the school that we go to, and for
me. That is what happens a t the end
of a winning season.
Alternately, coming off a losing
season leaves a bad taste in your
mouth. I look back a t my soccer
season, and while the friendship I
built with my teammates will never
fade, what we did will disappear
into the books as a couple numbers
(0 and 16) that no one really wants
to see or know about. You can "What
if" forever, but once it's all over, you
ei ther won or you didn' t. Even if you
think, "well, I did great." There is
still the fact that you lost, and as
great as you think you did, where are
the victories? You can make as many
excuses as you want and pass the
blame all around, but you were the
one who stepped onto the field with
your team. You were the one who got
involved, and anything you can pass
off on them can come righ t back to
you.
When it comes down to it, what
did you do to help your team win?
Did you elevate your team with
support, or by example? Did you
lead or did you follow like a true
teammate? Did you further the cause
or did you keep it running
smoothly? If you did any of those as
a team, chances are you were or are
winning right now; and if you
didn't, why are you competing at all?

On the road January 16, our men's team went to Concordia and handed them a loss, 77-69. The top scorer on the night for Evergreen was Trelton
Spencer, who put in 27 with 7 steals and 5 assists. The 7 steals tied a school record. Andre Stewart followed with a 17-point, 6-rebound night. The men
shot 83% from the free throw line to help push them to victory.
Later that week on the 19th, the men went to Eastern Oregon University, and despite a career night from Andre Stewart, Evergreen lost 81-79.
Stewart put in a career-high 27 points on 7 for 8 from behind the arc to go along with 9 rebounds. Trelton Spencer had 17 points with 7 assists as well.
With his 7 assists, Spencer broke the Evergreen all-time assist record. Evergreen led a ll game and was up nearly 30 with 16 minutes to play, but after big
runs from Eastern and a jump shot that went in with two seconds remaining, Eastern took their first lead and the victory.
On the 20'h, Evergreen traveled to Idaho to the home of the Albertson Yotes ... What is a Yote anyway? Anyway, the men lost 100-81. Spencer had 32
points to go with his 6 assists and school record 8 steals. Jackie Robinson put up solid numbers with 11 points and 8 rebounds.
WOMEN'S
BASKETBALL
by Shasta Smith
On January 12, the women traveled to Portland to battle wit h Concordia. Unfortunately, they lost 74-43. Heather Johnson scored 21 points and had
13 rebounds on the night. Concordia shot over 50% from behind the arc. Our women were outboarded 61-44 and put in just 12 of 63 from the field.
The next night, across Portland at Cascade College, Evergreen fell 67-55. Evergreen won the season opener against Cascade, but this night was to go
the other way as three Cascade girls scored in double digits. For Evergreen, Heather Johnson scored 23 with 8 boards and Michelle Ramsgate scored 21
with 5 boards. Unfortunately, the two top scorers for Evergreen on the night both fouled out with minutes left in the game.
On January 16, Evergreen hosted Warner Pacific. Warner Pacific ended up winning 65-49. Michelle Ramsgate had a career night with 26 points. The
16 th also saw the return of the wall, Linnaea Jablonski. She came back strong with 6 pOints, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks. These blocks pushed Jablonski over
the single-season record of 26 set by Alex Dagnon.

Why a
Thirteen Moon Calendar?
cosmlC
tone ofpresence
1 am !.',ided by
the power of
heart
Because there art thirteen moons! It is a fact
UrJlvers
that every year consists of thirteen moon cycles, from
new to full, of 28 days in length. This equals 364 days per year. The
fi
Mayan calendar is based upon this thirteen-moon system, and accounts
for the 365 day by having a "Day out ofTime." This day existing outside of the
socially accepted theory of time invites a cosmic connecrion to creation, allowing
the world [0 drift in a womb-like day of rest before birthing into a brand new year. The
Mayan New Year is July 25. Think of it as a day off.
It may be challenging for those who are fully adapted to the Gregorian 12-month
calendar to accept the idea of timelessness, or [0 shift into the rhythm of Narurallime.
Remember that the 12-month rimeframe is a fairly modern construct, and the fact that it
conrains deceptive language (i.e. December as the 12th month when it really means 10) is no
small matter. lime can be used to create a web of reality that may stifle certain expressions
oflife; it certainly enforces a mentality where time is equivalent [0 money and the natural
cycles of the universe are underplayed to the daily demands of living in modern culture. Connecting with the
natural cycles of the moon, we attune ourselves to the energy of the cosmos. of which we are an expression.
Each moon in the Mayan Calendar is given an equivalent Tone purpose. For example, we are in the
7th moon, and the 7th Tone is Resonance. Thus, we are in .the Resonant Moon, where the purpose is to
attune to the universal energies and recognize ourselves in a new light. Allow your intuition to inspire
you to become what you are! We come into our own as we work with the Wavespell. The cycles within
cycles within cycles represent our eternal existence and connectedness to all life. I invite you to ponder
these possibilities.
