TESC President Les Purce wi ll be holding
open meetings with s tud ents, staff, and faculty
for the rest of the year.
"Before the year is out," sa id Purce in an
Evergreen-wid e memorandum, "J would like
to make time for some informal, open
discuss ions with members of the campus
community." Apparently these meetings nre
on ly the first trickle in a planned deluge . "For
the next academic year, I plan to es tab lish a
regulnr ~ched ule of meetings ... " The same
type of meetings? Yes, " ... meetings of this
type. "
The meetIll~s will be in " the area near the
Deli in the CAI3." Purce had no comment
regarding the ava il abli lit y of food and
beverages at the meetings, although the
atmosphere sounds rather homey. "1 invite
s tudents, staff "lIld faculty to ... [come on in and]
get acq uainted." .
Th", fir~t meeting was schedu led for March
6 <It 4 P.M ., itlthough many are unsure whether
it happened or not. "There may be occasions
when last minute sched uling conflicts prevent
Ille from being ,wa ilabl e," warned Purce . The
remaining meetings will be held at 4 P.M. on
the 4th and 25th of April, and the 30th of May.
Purce enouraged interested parties to give him
d hollcr. Said Purce, " ... please call my office at
extension 6100 ... "
.
Other Lands are Murderous
"C oing Abroad? Thinking about making
so m(' qui ck money? Think again!" So say Ihe
copious press releases from the US Deparment
of Stilte, showing the profile of a young girl
behind jiti lbars dnd scary red lettering . "If
someonc offers you a free vacation and a big
c hunck of cash JLlst for bringing back a suitcase
or pa ckage no quest ions asked- Remember:"
Here are some of the more intersting points it
li~t~ . " When YOll kave the US, YOLI leave our
laws behind . The police are wiliting for you.
You wil be thrown in (l crowded jail cell. You
will not have access to a modern shower or
toilet. You wi ll stay in j(1i1 for years and years."
Phr,bed like the product of a demented fortune
cookie writer 's fevered mind , the moral of this
story is drugs are bad.

Gag Rule is Murderous
f'<:mil1isl Majori(y Leadc.:rship Alliance
President George W. Bush decla red a war
on women worldwide with his first executive
order reinstating the "gag rule." This policy
denies U.s. federal aid to any family planning
programs in developing nations that use their
own monies or monies from other sources for
counse lin g, information, or referrals about
abortion. Thousands of young women in
developing nations w ill die as a result of Bush' s
decision .
Abortion counse lin g and services are
greatly needed throughout the wor ld . The
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
estimates that 150 million women worldwide
lack access to reI iable information about fami ly
planning and reproductive health. Out of
585,000 maternal deaths each year, 200,000 are
attributable to lack of co ntraceptive access or
contraceptive failure, and 50,000-100,000 result
from comp lications of unsafe, illegal abortions.
With no o th er op tions l you ng women in
deve loping nations will be forced to turn to
illegal abortions, too many of them dying as a
result of serious infections or other
complications. In too many countries, young
and unmarried women who have no access to
contraception or to even illegal abo rti on face
the cruel consequences of an unwanted
pregnancy: acid burnings, beatings, and even
death. For more information, contact

Slightly West is Coming

the co upl e is now ca lm and no longer
fighting. Thus endeth this report.
It 's the last week of winter
quarter, traditionally a time when
peop le begin to wake up again, look
at their li ves, and think . "What have 1
been doing? Yeah, th at contract on
campanology was a really great idea .
Why didn't I take math? Oh, that '~
right, I'm at Evergreen."
It's also a time when you reflect
on past events and future possibilities.
It's a time for examination before the
rush of the last quarter. When you look
back and realize that a lot of crazy
things happen at this schoo l and a
great deal center around drinking, fire,
and the inherent fragility of glass.
And this week is no exception. We
have a broken door, a wooden pipe,
and a fire o n school grounds. If it were
a painting, it would hav e been a
masterpiece of s urrealism, a Magritte
or a Dali, but ins tead, it's life, and it's
just plain weird.
As a side note, I've had a request
for names of officers involved in the
incidents I report on. Do you want me
to include them? Drop me a line or two
near the CPJ letting me know yes or
no, otherwise J'II continue on my
merry Ii ttle rou tine tha t wor ks so
well .. .so metimes.

A brazen crime in the
daylight leads an officer to investiga te
a great escape. A "loss prevention
employee" needs assistance when an
individual takes a pint of Ben & Jerry's
($3.15) from the Deli. He loses track of
the suspect, but later sees him leave
lhe Greenery and confronts him
outside . The suspect insists that he has
"pre-paid" for the ice cream alld asks
the employee to hold his ice cream and
spoon. The suspect then proceeds to
run away and lose his pursuer behind
C-Dorm. Sadly, the suspect is not
found and the ice cream is not resold,
due to the fact that the thief has
already partaken of its icy goodness.
7:46 p.m.
Yells heard in Housing
lead to the police investiga ting an

Evergreen students consider camping
to be a grea t way to spe nd your

roasting marshmallows, singin g offkey loudly ... all of these are fun things
to do. But if you can't make it out

Two open reports and a malicious

major pOints of the blotter today There
is a child protective services referral

the door sh u t.

FYI Food Services DTF
Last fall. thc Food Services DTF took on the d.ifficult task of identifying viable options for food service here at Evergreen . The
[)TF realized that a health y food service operation must renect the unique taste and interest of the community it serves. It also
real il.cd that Evergreen does not have the necessary time ( 12 to 24 months) to develop a self operated food service for Fall 200 I.
It is th e view of the DTF that a self operated food service would be the best choi ce for Evergreen. In the meantime, the college will
have to dec ide on another method of providing food service to the students, faculty and staff during the school year as well as EF
studc nts and conference attendees durin g the summer.
The DTF's research identified the following models for food services on campus:
Business Contract (four models) - Managed and operated by a corporation with non-college employees.
. Exclusive contract 7-10 years . Exclusive contract 1-3 years . Non-exclusive with Local and National vendors . Multiple contracts with
Local vendors.
Self Operation (two models) - Managed and operated by Evergreen with college employees.
. Begin self operation for Fall 2001 . Extend current contract and create self operation for 2002
Interagency Agreement (three models) - Managed and operated by a state agency with agency employees.
. South Puget Sound Community College . University of Washington . Department of Services for the Blind, Business Enterprises Program.
Each model was evaluated using the following C1'iterea; . Timeframe necessary to Implement . Community Impact . AbWty to meet aU the
college's needs . Financial implications to the college . ProslCons . Political implications
l ltili/ing previous DTFs work, prior survey work. other colleges' and universitie' experti se, the National Association of College and University Food Services,
Inca l husinessc~ and resources as well as professional consultants, the DTF concluded that we must, at this time, pursue a contract arrangement to provide
Evergreen's rood serv ice ror Fall 200 I. At this time the DTF is persuing contract arrangements for Fall 200 I. Responses to the Request for Proposals(RFP) are
due April 25th. 200 I. The DTF's reccomendati ons have been included in the RFP and are as follows :
FOOD SERVICE DTF RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Create a Sustainable Financial Base
The DTF real!zecl th at WIthout a mandatory menu plan. any food serv Ice operation at Evergreen is profoundly restricted due to the lack of depend a ble reve nue durm g t he a cademic year. Recommendations : • Develop a q uality and a ffo rdable food plan conducive to Evergreen's unique flavor.
· Deve lop a non-tra dItIonal requ lfed meal plan for a segment of the Evergreen community for Fall 2002. • Implement a deblt card based meal system,
Integ ratlllg all food sItes on campus . • ReqUlre the debit card system to potentlally handle all cash transactlOn s on campus and to be expandable to
o ff campu s s Ites .
2.Develop a Captal Facilities Plan
For the fa CIlIty to operate efficiently and meet the campus audience's expectations, the DTF was advised that " .. [campusl facilities are generally
dated ... and not developed to respond to the values of today's students"(Rich Wheeler of Fessel International). The current food service facilities lack
f1 exlbllIty and reqUIre substantlal capItal investment. Recommendations: • Develop a food service master plan to address Immediate, short and long
term needs . • Incorporate the food servIce master plan mto the campus master plan . . Develop a phased approach for increased seating capacity.
• Develop a phased approach for creating efficient traffic flow in the Dell and Greenery servery. • Develop a detailed assessment of all food equipment
and phased replacement schedule. • Develop a detailed assessment of all food service s ites and a phased re-conceptionlrenovation plan.
3. Combine all Food Operations in the Housing Community Center
Currently the re are two separate food operations in the Housing Community Center (HCC). The Subterranean reports to Housing and the Branch
reports to the Bookstore . Each operates WIth substantial student leaders hip/decision making power and provides distinctive flavor to the campus.
Recommendations: • Integrate the two operations into one food venue in the HCC. • The new integrated food venue in the HCC would report to
Housing If the college enters mto an ag reement With a private food service vendor or directly to campus Food Service if the college enters into an
Interagency Agreement with an othe r state agency • Require the new combined HCC food venue to develop annual business goals, budgets and
marketing plans WIth college staff support and submit these plans annually to the Housing Director and the Director of Business Services for approval.
. Integrate the new HCC food venue into the campus debit card system . • Develop a cooperative relationship between the new HCC food venue and
campus food serVIce, provldmg retaIl space for food serv Ice items in the HCC venue while maintaining the distinctive flavor of the HCC.
4. Support of Local Growers and Producers
The college food service mus t deve lop meamngful partnerships with local growers and producers whenever posslble . Evergreen's Long-range
StrategI c Plan 2000 sta tes that "Evergreen WIll strIve to strengthen, create a nd suppor t a rich tapestry of formal and informal partnerships and
commumty connectI ons tha t are mu tually benefICIal and congruent with the college's values." Recommendations: - That food service b e required
to prod uce an annu al statem ent defmmg total food purchases (cost of sales) and the percentage of the total purchased within Thurston County (locally)
· Set a goal of 20% locally purchased cost of sales for 2001 -2002. • Set a goal of annual 2% increases in locally purchased cost of sales each subsequent
Yl'al untIl the total rpaches 30% of cost of sa les . That all e ffor ts be made to utilize produce from the college 's Organic Farm. using priCing based on
th e regIo na l s upplIer's weekly prI ce lISt.
5. Continued Investigation of a College Operated Food Service
The DTF realI zed tliaL a health y food S81vIce ope ra tion must reflect the umque tastes and Interests of the Institution it serve s. The DT!<' also realIzed
tin t the college d oes not hdve the necessa ry tJIn e (12 to 24 months) to develop a self operated food service for Fall 2001. It is the Vlew of the DTF that
a self opera terl food s.-'r vl ce IS the best solu ti on fo Evergreen , (]ssurll1g comple Le control over all aspects of campus Food Serv ices. Recommendation: . That two to three yell IS before the conclUSion of the next olltslde contract, a new DTF shou ld be charged to rev iew the models developed by
thIS OTF and to de te rmll1e a food serv ice course that Will assure Evergree n a satisfactory and Ul1Ique food serVlce consistent w ith the college's tastes
and ll1te res s
After exploring th e different food service models, it became apparent that for any self-operated food service to be financially
viab le, Evergreen needs to integrate all of the currently separate components of campus food service operations, as well a$ develop
so me type of dependable financial base. It also became apparent that successful college food services are highly dependent on
their ab ility to provide a latc-night food option, mainly for the residential community. Understanding the need to create a dependao le financial base, a de bit-based meal plan became the promising solution. This new meal plan would. need to be non-traditional
and eas il y access ible to all st uden ts, faculty and staff. For complete text of the Food Services DTF Recommendations, contact

CLUfCH
Pure Rock Fllry
Two things stick out on this
album: guitars and the lead singer's
voice. These are things that should
stick o ut on a rock a lbum, of course,
but on this CD, they really stick out
like spikes on a porcupine . The lead
singer's voice is deep and, well,
downright intimid ating. This is the
kind of voice that, if you heard it call
your name in the dark of night, your
fight or flight inst inc ts would be put
into good use . And you wou ld be
flying, my friend. Guitars are clearly
the ce nterpiece of this group's
personal musical th eory. They don 't
just move the songs along, they s tick
ca tlle prods in the smalls of th e backs
of th ese songs, and th ey have no
c hoice but to barrel ahead. I Ciln
honestly say I could have thi s CD in
my collect ion and not feel ashamed
about it. But, knowing the rale that I
have to pawn my CDs in order to
make rent, it wouldn't stay in my
co llection long. For iI clearly rockoriented band, they do surprise early
in the play list with a clever rock/
rap style song. And when I say rock/
rap, 1 mean it in a real way, not in
some Limp Bizkit 14-year-old way.
They also seem to be very into
Halloween. Several of the songs are
themed around spooky things, like
"Frankenstein," "Smoke Banshee,"
" Imm orta[," "Drink to the Dead ,"
and by far the c reepiest title, "Red
Horse Rainbow. " Is the album pure
rock fury, as they claim? Yes, but a
more suitable title comes from a line
in track 7. The a lbum should be
ca ll ed SpectllC/ila Dracuill. Now, if it
were called that, C[u'ch's album
would stay in my collection no
matter how short 1 was for rent.
and ca ught the whiff of Got hic
mustiness . 1 would have just kept
walking, thinking she was just your
ave rage Gaiman-Ioving, Hot Topi cs hopping Goth, but for some, dare I
say it, mysteriou s reason I turned
around to look at her, and then she
was ... gone.
Walking Girl is real, my friends .
If you ever see her, please be kind.
Sure l y she is some lost soul
desperately seeking closure. Take a
lesson from Haley Joel Osment and
try to help. She might just need the
new Nick Cave album or some black
eye-shadow. Help her-please.
How much info can I pack into this
co lumn? Judge for yo ur se lf, but
don't judge me. Keep you r eyes
peeled for the next installment,
where I will blow apart such Myths
and Legends as " The Dirtiest Dorm
of Doom" and "Naked CAB Man" .
Also, I' ll finally get to the grea test

I \\'a~ recently sUlll moned for jury

L·'fwci.1 11 y p un.is hm c nt , 1 rea ll y did 1101

th ,ll whdt I Wil~ doing wa~ a

alway;, po,;,ible I wou ldn ' t have 10
~cr\'C' .
" Yo u a I'" required to report to
Thurston Co unty Sup er ior Court a t
eight A.M . on TuesdilY," the reco rdin g
told me ilnd , w hile I swo re a t it, wen t
on ilt length abo ut which room I was
('x pelted in .
When I go t to the co urthou!:>c, it
beCcllll e cleM th at thi~ wasn ' t goi n g to
be like Law & Order. I wasn't really
expecting dn impos ing co urth o use or
dltra cll\'e la wye rs, but I expected the
experience to be depress ing, or boring,
or both . Ilil ar iously s urrea l 1 had n ' t
l'xpl'cl<.'d , but after I discovert'd th e
rl'cording ' ~ meti cu lous dire,tion~ had
~e nt me no t only to th c wrong room
but the wrong building, I began to
wondcr. O n ce I fo und th e righ t
b uil di n g, and th e Illet a l detector
oper<ltor dccided I W,l;,n ' t going to kill
<l nyon e wi th my earrings, I was se nt
through il long Iinc to a woman my
mothn' s age In iI s uit Illy
g randmother 'S age. She s miled at me
like she had to s p e nd a lot of tim e
s miling <It peopl e and clipped a plastic
cil rd to my co llar tha t sa id #44 and was
so large I co uld have used it d ~ a bib .
Then, sIll' hand ed me il clipboard and
waved me into the next room.
The wall s were ye llow-green, Ihe
lighting was f1l1ores cent, and I'd only
managed five hours of s leep the nighl
befo re, so the wa lls sort of pulsed wi th
bright, painful color. I winced and sat
down to read the paper I'd bee n
handed . [winced again. The ques tions
were all about my attitude toward sex
cri mes. This was nol a trial r wanted to
be in vo lved in. I indi cated that I
though t such crimes were bad and gave
my clipboard back to the smiling robot.
She said I should go back to my seat to
wait for "orientation" and gave me a
pamphlet about jury duty to amuse me.
I sa t s urrounded by people
co nce n trill ing ha I'd on th e ir forms,
ilppilrently feeling that sex crimes are
il complex iss ue we shouldn't rush to
judgment on. The pamphlet explained,
among other thin gs, the difference
between the Thurston County Superior
Court and the Un ited Stiltes Supreme
Court. I was extremely relieved when
th e s milin g lild y cililed for our
el ttentiun .
"W(' arl' go ing to watch a film ," she
said, " which s h o ul d answer any
questions yu u hav e. II 's narrated by
Ray mo nd Burr." It was na rrated by
Raymond BUIT, il nd in Cil5e we might
co nfu ~l' him with Truy McC lure, he
begiln by tellin g u ~ so. He assured us
Ihilt, al th ough jury membe r~ didn't ge t
a bouquet of roses for the ir se rvice (I
;,wear if I were milking thi~ up il would
milke more ~en se), they were vital to
our justice system . No one ebe
lilUghed. When the film was over, and
none of o ur que"tion5 were ilnswered,
Ihe ~ milin g ladies asked us to follow
them upstairs. I was p leased to obey.
We were herded into a room,
introduced to the people involved in
the case, and reild the chilrges. Then the
law yers took turns introdu cin g
them"l'lves c\gain, makin g us lilu g h
half-hearted ly, and asking ques tions.
Lot;, of ques tion;,. How did we feel
about thi s thin g whi ch mi g ht
hypothetica ll y be involved in the case?
Would o ur feelings ilffeci our ability to
judge impMtiillly? Hild we served on
il jury befo re? Wou ld thilt ex perience
affect our ability to judge impar ti all y?
My filv orile momenl WilS when the
district attorney began ask ing people
to d escribe themselves ilS their friends
would . EVl' ryOllL' he asked included the
word" "fai r" ,md " hilrd -working" I sat
there, d ebaling. If he asked me, wou ld
I ca ll myse lf a lazy cheat, or claim not
to have friends? Sad ly, I was spared the
decision .
"Ladies and gentlemen," the judge
said, "Now Wt' will speak priva tely in
chambers with th ose of you who feel
tha t it is necessary. I ask th e res t of you
to be pa tien t. "
I sa t pa ti e ntl y while the jud ge
co nfer red privatel y with potentia l
jurors. I sat p<ltiently while the la wyers
argued. I Silt patiently while the final
choices of jurors were made - in front
of US, bul so quietly we didn't know
what was happening . J sig hed. The
s miling lildy, w ho was s uddenly

A Few Thoughts on Anarchy
by E. Rose Nelson
Flashback to last November there I stood, in lfne to make a
difference in the way my country /
state/colUlty is run. I had read up on
the initiatives, watched the debates,
and even studied my voter's guide.
What happened? I encountered
people telling me not to use my hardwon Constitutional right to vote. The
answer, they assured me, was in
revolution.
I have several thoughts on this
subject. First of all, the government
has more and better weapons than the
individual citizen. They are firmly
entrenched. They are organized, and
while I know anarchy is against
organization, it is definitely beneficial
in a war. Guerilla warfare is one thing;
scattered bands of brigands are quite
another.
Changing the world is like using
water to wear down a rock. A drop at
a time for one hlUldred years will wear
away more than the same amount of
water over the space of an hour. Small,
consistent changes accomplish more
than attempts to get everything at
once. Politics, as I have said many
times, is the art of compromise.
Someone is always unhappy in any
political system - in any system of any
kind. Anything relying on humans is
imperfect. The goal is to make as many
people as possible tolerably happy.
Consider the history of civil
disobedience, a popular buzz word
here at Evergreen these days. Stealing
a bagel from Fine Host is not civil
disobedience. Drinking a beer is not
civil disobedience. If you are
genuinely protesting the legal
drinking age, get 30 people under 21.
Call a paper, even if it's just the CPJ.
Call the cops. Infonn both of them' that
you are drinking to protest. The cops
will then arrest you; don't fight it.
Remember, you're fighting for a cause.
(They will ticket you if you just drink;
refuse to hand over your beer.) Your
actions will then get a wider scope
than a paragraph making fun of you.
in Blotter. Congratulations. You have
just participated in civil disobedience.
That's if you can't get change
within the system. The first step is a
petition. Those who work within the .
system accomplish more for their .
Cooper Point Journal -10- March 15, 2001
cause than those who try to overthrow
it. Consider Emma Goldman. She's a
famous anarchist, but the United
States still stands. Consider Martin
Luther King versus Malcolm X.
Malcolm X (before he went on the hajj)
advocated violent overthrow of the
white establishment. While he raised
the pride of black men, he
accomplished little that would
improve the basic conditions in which
they lived. Martin Luther King,
however, did a little at a time, as did
his aspect of the Civil Rights
Movement. They tackled one issue
and stuck to it until it was finished.
They peacefully boycotted buses,
integrated schools, and fought for the
right to vote - that right that we are
encouraged to treat so cavalierly.
In fact, the schools were
integrated first because of a court case
- Brown vs. The Board of Education
of Topeka, Kansas. Thelawyer for the
prosecution, among the first black
lawyers to try a case in front of the
Supreme Court, went on to be the first
black on the Supreme Court:
Thurgood Marshall. By working
within the system, he gained a
position of power that permitted him
to attempt to make things better for
all Americans, regardless of gender or
ethnicity. (Scientists from the Human
Genome Project have proven that race
is not a biological concept.) Thurgood
Marshall was one individual working
within the system who improved it.
As a woman, I find the right to
vote important because of the decades
of struggle to achieve it. I think of
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, who spent their entire lives
fighting for the right that the
anarchists wish me to throwaway.
Neither of those women lived long
enough to see that right made part of
the United States Constitution. Blacks
fought similar battles. The original
Califo~a State Constitution forbade
voting for "idiots, convicts, and the
Chinese." Japanese-born Americans
were not allowed to becom,e citizens
of the United States before World War
II, which meant that they could not
vote. Generations of people have
fought for your right to vote.
Americans have fought and died for
your right to say that you don't like
your country. Learn your history; fight
the system from within.
High School
Dances at
Evergreen?
I remember going to junior high
and high school dances . Mostly, I
went ou t of boredom or peer pressure,
but among th e ot h er reaso n s,
eve ryone walked into the gymnasium
with the hope of a romantic interface
with their prefer red sex. But si nce I've
come to co llege, a ll that has cha nged;
the dances are now called parties, and
the hope of physical interaction with
the object of your affection is much
more like ly because these parties have
BEER.
Now that I think about it, th a t's
pretty much the only difference
between hi g h scho ol fun ctions and
house parties: th e presence of beer.
And what would th ese parties be
without beer?
Well , maybe th e ch icks that
always dan ce on tabletops wouldn' t
be so excited about attracting
attention to themselves, o r at least
they wouldn't fee l as though they had
much of a n excuse to do so. There
wouldn't be a crowd of p eo ple being
rude to each other and pu shing to get
to the almighty keg, and perhaps
people would talk and ge t people to
go home with th em because of th ei r
stellar personalities instead.
Now, don ' t ge t me wrong. I li ke
bee r. And free beer is a lways a nice
gesture on anyon e's part. But lately
that ges ture hasn't been apprecia ted,
and th e re is no thin g co mmunal or
socia l abo ut these parties. They have
beco me a medium in which one ge ts
drunk as quickly as possible so that
their skewed drunken perceptions are
those of fr ivolity and merriment.
At least in high school , you know
you're not having fun.

Is Carbon Dioxide Guilty ~
of Global Warming?
by Andn;w Bucher
Carbon dioxide is emitted
through fossil fuel-burning
machinery and institutions . Thi s
causes a major concern regarding
global warming. Scientist are very
concerned to say the least, because
the potential is catastrophiC. Global
warming could devastate the world
in epic proportions . However, some
scientists and policy makers are
hesitant to make any long-standing
regulations, because there are too
many uncertainties with respect to
global warming.
One of the uncertainties is that
we do not know whether changes
in the earth's cloud cover will
enhance the warming effects of
carbon dioxide or offset them. 98%
of total warming of the earth is due
to the water vapors and clouds in
the atmosphere. Small changes in
the allocation of the water in any
form could overcome the impact of
the built-up carbon dioxide. It is
ironic that all the scientists who are
worried about the potential
implications of global warming
from carbon dioxide are using
a tmospheric models that do not
accurately incorporate the effects of
the water vapor.
It is undeniable tha t there is a
rei a tionshi p between car bon
dioxide and warming. This does
not prove that the carbon dioxide
cal/sed the warming. Scientists have
performed extens ive research in
Antarctica and Greenland where
the re is an abundant sup ply of old
ice. They have been able to measure
the level of carbon dioxide in the
ice that goes back many years. The
stud ies showe d that warming
preceded, not followed, the
buildup of carbon dioxide. How
can built-up carbon dioxide cause
warming when the warming came
first?
Lastly, carbon dioxide is
helpful to plants. People who own
greenhouses purchase carbon
dioxide to enrich the enclosed
atmosphere to enhance plant
growth.
Global warming is a reality
that needs immediate attention. It
would be in all our best interests to
stop and reverse the effects.
Blaming carbon dioxide is like
burying our head in the sa nd . We ,
refuse to admit that global
warming is not ca used by carbon
dioxide. To find th e remedy, we
must cross-examine the e leme nts
that are suspect, not the one that
h as been found innocent!

Forestry
hy Will I--i<:wi"
The Evergreen woods are iI sacred
place where students and members of
the larger community go to find peace
and admire th e quiet living co mplexity
of a for es t ecosys te m. I hav e spe nl
countless hours wander ing the anarchic
ma ze of trai ls between Dri ftwood mad
ilnd Ihe bea ch, where rhe old es t trees
g row. The woods hav e tau ght me il~
mu ch as th e classroom has . There, I
learned to identify many native p lants:
red cedar, big-leaf maple, alder, Dougla;,
and tru e fir, western he mlock, sa la l,
O regon grape, cIder, s word fe rn , etc.
Man y of these plants, like nettles and
salal , are ed ible, or, li ke e lder, have
med icinal properties. Two years ago,
when J was claustrop hobi c, crazy, and
sick of our c ramped domes ti ca ted
comfort support sys tem; [ dispensed
with most of my possessions and went
to the woods for solitary space and
healing. Near my campsite la y a cedar
recently snapped and blown over by
wind. [ bent th e green wood branches
and shaped th em intoa wigwam frame.
It was spring, at the tail end of the rainy
season . Dry wood for my (illegal but
sma ll, safe, and ca refully te nded) fires
was a lwa ys easy to find : the lowe r
branches of cedar trees die and dry up,
bu t sta y on the tree, sheltered by foliage
above. To pay rent, I clea ned up the
trash of careless a nd di s respec tful
campers, the ones who set up near the
road and won ' t take ten minutes to pack
their trash to the nearby dumpsters of
Housing's alphabet soup. Although
technically illegal, that was one of the
mos t valuable ex periences of my life.
The forest is like any other teacher: you
must approach it with respect and
willingness to listen. The Evergreen
woods are a special place for everyone
who spends time there. We are lucky to
have this amazing park.
The Sustainable Forestry program
has the creation of a "demonstration
forest" on a 7.5 acre section (1 0;', of
forested campus land) near the organic
farm. This raises challenging questions
and issues. It is not a simple, black and
white situation. The image of chainsaws
biting into the living flesh of trees
disturbs any environmentally conscious
person. As a Northwest native, I have
been surrounded by ugly patchwork
scars, chopped stumps, and torn earth
all of my life. Clearcutting is rape; yes,
it is that bllUlt and simple. However, the
proposed demonstration forest would
be a far cry from the profit-motivated
assaults of Weyerhaeuser, Pacific
Lumber, and their ilk. Thought and
planning are being done to minimize
environmental impact. One of their
goals is to a id the crea tion of late
s u ccess ion al or "old growth-like"
habitat. To this end, only med ium-sized
trees would be cut. At leas t 60 trees
would be left per acre. Some snags
would be left standing. Trees would be

used "e ithe r o n ca mpu;, or in
areel sc hool s." (For more
detailed in fo rmilti on please

To unders tand the e ffects of
s uch a forest mana ge ment plan,
we mus t exa mine co ntex t. With
the no tab le exception of so me
areas nea r F-lot and th e beach,
Evergreen's woods Me a classic

c1earcutting. The fores t g rows
how it is beciluse people ca me
and cu t a ll the trees down, then
either didn ' t replant or pla nted
too many trees of the sa me
species (Douglas fir) too close
together. In ei ther case, we have
a yo ung fores t where trees are
crowded. The refore, they g row
tall and spindly in a cons tant
strugg le for space and li g ht.
Killing some trees wuuld allow
others roo m to sp read a nd
thrive . It is not a malleI' of
improving on nature; it is violent
intervention to facilitate a
healing process. The scab a nd
wound, the' current imbalance
and strife, are direct res ults of
human actions.
Wood is used on campus by
the wood shop, Facilities, and
Housing. Much of this wood
comes
from
extremely
unsustainable sources. The
wood shop does conscientiously
buy a lot of FSC certified wood
(Forest Stewardship Council
certification
is
roughly
analogous
to
organic
certification). However, the shop
also sells tropical hardwoods,
such as mahogany, bubinga,
purple heart, yellow h eart,
lacewood, zebrawood, and
paduk. These woods are
definitely
unsustainably
harvested, and possible even
illegally cut from parks and
protected areas. Mahogany was
recently considered for the
endangered species list .
Shipping wood from South
America, Africa, the Eastern U.s.
(hard maple, ash, incense cedar,
black walnut, etc.), or Canada is
resource intensive. If some of the
wood used by students and
workers at Evergreen could be
grown, harvested , and milled
right h ere, that would be a
s tep
toward
s ignifi ca nt
efficiency, self-sufficiency, and
sus taina bility. The major

epitomized that this yea r. We started
off pretty slow; we lost five of our first
six games, but they we re on the road
so that made it difficult. Late in the
season, we turned things around and
started to play a little bit better. We had
a bunch of new guys. We turned it
a round and ended up nine and n in e
in confe ren ce an d made it to th e
play offs. Definite ly, w e' re pleased

C PJ : Were injuries a fa ctor this year?
John: When you talk i1bout adversities,
we were a team that had everything,
whether it was injuries or whether it
be s ome off-the-court things where
guys had to take personal leaves of
absence. Just the Ii ttle things that break
down a team a little. It's just problems
in life, so to speak. But I d efinitely
think that played a factor in the up and
down of the season. But once we had
everyone toge ther and healthy, 100%,
we were pretty tough.
CPJ: Did you have any expectations
coming into the season? Did you have
any idea how it was going to go?

obstacle is kiln drying. Because of
codes, Facilities can only use kilndried wood. The wood shop has in
the past sold some air-dried wood
hom Windfall Lumber, a local mill.
I do not know whether they would
use air-dried lumber from an
Evergreen forestry project. In any
case, for the wood harvested to have
a significant impact on wood used,
it would have to be kiln dried. The
school does not have a kiln. It is
theoretically possible that one could
be located in this area, but the details
have yet to be worked out.
A
small,
well-managed
demonstration forest could provide
a valuable learning laboratory,
reduce our dependence on rapeharvested wood, and actually help
the injured forest to heal itself faster.
That potential is clearly visible;
however, after much deliberation, I
must state my vehement opposition
to the demonstration forest. It is
painful to realize this: the students
and faculty currently in the
Sustainable Forestry program,
however well intentioned they may
be, have no long-term control over
the project. Within four years, all of
those students will be grad ua ted and
gone. Faculty mayor may not
remain and mayor may not re main
involved with the fore s try project.
Real power belongs to the State of
Washington, th e boa rd of trustees,
and the Evergreen administration.
We simply cannot begin a n idealistic
logging project and trust that it will
continu e as such.
Evergreen is not immune to the
trends and pressures of U.S.
capitalism. Consider the climate this
project wil l be launched into.
Evergreen, like th e rest of th e human
world, is currently under pressure to
ex pand , conform , and co ntro l its
population . A new classroom and
office building (Seminar II ) will soon
be bui lt in the forested area behind
the CAB. Add itions to Ho usi n g are
also planned. Parking lots will soon
be reconfigured to accommodate
more cars. The design for Seminar II
incorporates <1I1 amazing amoun t of
ecologica l design, and the plan for
reconfigu ring parking lots will cut as
few trees as pOSSIble and make very
efficient usc of space. However, this
expansion is totall y unnecessary. We
don't need any more buildings, and
we don't need any more pilTking
spaces. There are barely e nough
students to use the existing facilities.
The college has been forced to extend
its app lication deadline for several
years now, last year from March until
August, s imply to achieve full
e nrollm ent. Focus s hould be on
improving the facilities we already
have and improving the quality of
ed uca tion, not on constructing new
buildings for students who don't
even exist. Growth for growth's sake
is the ideology of the cancer cell.
Pressure to conform comes in
the s hape of general education

period, food service workers asked the Evergreen
'administration for help, and Steve Trotter, who was at
- that time Vice President for Finance and
Administration, informed us that, while the college
.could not become involved in Fine Host's affairs
directly, the administration would not tolerate a unionbusting campaign or illegal activities on this campus.
On January 11 of this year, food service workers
won the NLRB election, proving beyond a shadow of
a doubt that a majority of workers wanted union
representation. However, in our estimation, since that
election, Fine Ho'st has beguI\ a 'reprehensible unionbusting campaign and has broken the law almost
weekly. For example, although federal law prohibits
companies from changing their policies to retaliate
against workers after union recognition elections, the
day after the election, Fine Host created a tip policy
that took away tips from all workers. They then later
re turned the tips toa small group of workers and have
since denied them to everyone else. Also, vocal union
supporters are under constant scrutiny and have been
fired for minor infractions. Additionally, due to the
hostile environment the corpora tion has created, many
workers have been pressured into quitting, amow1ting
to a nother federal labor law violation known as
constructive discharge. Finally, while Fine Host has
been instituting huge lay-offs and cutting the hours
of other workers dramatically, new employees are
being hired at an alarming rate.
We as a union have responded by filing a number
of unfair labor practice complaints with the NLRB, but
this process is slow and not always effective, as labor
law is structured more to suit the interests of
employers. Consequently, we are now asking the
administration to stick by its word and do the right
thing by formally advising Fine Host that the
Evergrf'en State College does not support unionbusting on its campus, illegal or otherwise.

Last week's commentary piece by Andrew
Bucher, entitled "Environment vs. Economic Growth :
Can 111ey Co-exis(7" contained logic so dubious and
information so misleading that I am curious as to
whether Mr. Bucher's name appears on the payroll of
the World Bank or the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD) . I found Mr.
Bucher's contention that econom ic growth is "to the
environment's adva ntage" too ridiculous to ignore
Mr. Bucher's argument is based on the purported
correlation between a nation's level of income and its
environmen tal standards. The idea is that people with
more money are willing to pay for the cos ts of

is flawed

obstacle is kiln drying. Because of
codes, Facilities can only use kilndried wood. The wood shop has in
the past sold some air-dried wood
from Windfall Lumber, a local mill .
I do not know whether they would
use air-dried lumber from an
Evergreen forestry project. In any
case, for the wood harvested to have
a significant impact on wood used,
it would have to be kiln dried. The
school does not have a kiln. It is
theoretically possible that one could
be located in this area, but the details
have yet to be worked out.
A
small,
well-managed
demonstration forest could provide
a valuable learning laboratory,
reduce our dependence on rapeharvested wood, and actually help
the injured forest to heal itself faster.
That potential is clearly visible;
however, after much deliberation, I
must state my vehement opposition
to the demonstration forest . It is
painful to realize this: the students
and faculty curren tly in the
Sustainable Forestry program,
however well intentioned they may
be, have no long-term control over
the project. Within four years, all of
those students will be graduated and
gone. Faculty mayor may not
remain and mayor may not remain
involved with the forestry project.
Real power belongs to the State of
Washington, the board of trus tees,
and the Evergreen administration.
We simply cannot begin an idealistic
logging project and trust that it will
continue as ~uch.
Evergreen is not immune to the
trends and pressures of U.S.
capitalism. Consider the climate this
project will be lau n c hed into.
Evergreen, like the rest of the human
world, is cu rrently under pressure to
expand, conform, and co ntrol its
popu la tion . A new classroom and
office building (Seminar II) will soon
be built in the forested are<l behind
the CAB. Additions to Housing are
abo planned. Parking lots will soon
be reconfigured to accommodate
more cars. The design for Seminar II
incorporates <In ilmazing amount of
ecological design, and the plan for
reconfiguring parking lots will cu t as
few trees as possible and make very
efflcient use of space. However, this
expansion is tota ll y unnecessary. We
don't need a ny more buildings, and
we don ' t need any more parking
spaces. There are barely eno u gh
students to use the ex is ting facilities.
Thc college has been forced to extend
its application deadline for severa l
years now, las t year from March until
Aug u s t, simply to achieve full
en rollme nt. Focus s hould be on
improving the facilities we already
have and improving the quality of
educa tion, not on constructing new
buildings fur students who don't
even exist. Growth for growth's sa ke
is the ideology of the cancer cell.
Pressure to conform comes in
