Abou t 200 people ftom The Evergreen

"Every time we have a tuition increase.

Community College. "We have to stand up: we
have to fight."
The protesters. though disappointed by
the low turnout. remained angry th at the
legislature will lik ely allow stat e schools to
increase tuition next yeaL They claimed that
lawmakers are not looking hard enough for the
money to fund schoo ls. "We want to know
what isn't evell being considered for cuts." said
Jason Adams. rally organizer and TESC
student.
Alier speeches by students alld faculty,
the group moved to the central Capitol campus
in hopes of attnlctillg legislators' attelltion ,
"We invited the legislature. and they didn't
show." said Adams. "We're going to take a
walk."
As the weather tumed poor. protesters
amassed on the steps of the Cherberg bu ilding.
blocking the main entrance for several hours.
Police arrived minutes after the crowd
congealed, All entrances to the Cherberg and
O'Brien buildings were locked. and guards
refused entry to anyone without a pass. One
participant remarked. "We figured out what
you have to do to get in the building, You have
to be an old white guy in a sui t."
Latcr in th e afternoon. after protesters
had divided into several bands. door guards
allowed students to send written messages to
the legislators inside,
By 3 p.m .. the crowd had mostl y
dispersed. with police making no arrests and
no one injured. Organizer Ca rlos Marentes

legislature a message today. but we don't want
this to end here."

The protest was foreshadowed by an
open meeting held in the TESC Library Lobby
on Wednesday. April4. On the topic of tuition
hikes. much was said but little agreed upon.
Jason Adams said that this meeting was
inspired by a similar one earlie r this year. in
which students and admin istrators debated
the sweats hop issue. He considered that
meeting a success, in that it brought more
students into the school's method of decision·
making, Sa id Adams. "We should have a
meeting like this every week."
Adams asked that th e administration and
the board of trustees directly oppose th e
tu ition will probably go up next year. That's
the forcast from Steve Trotter. Evergreen's
budget officer. He keeps tabs on how much it
costs to run the college.
Trotter says that Washington State is
tight onmoneyinallareas.and that Evergreen
won't get as much money as Administrators
say we need,
"The best of all worlds would be if the
legislature fully fund ed our needs. but that's
not likely." Trotter said, "It's unrealist ic to
ex pect that in this climate there'lI be no tuition
Increase."
Right now. the legislative rough·draft
budgets don't fully fund the three areas that
need money: Evergreen employee salery. how
much it costs to run the Evergreen buildings.
and tuition .
"Just the cost of heating the place will be
a one million dollar additional cost in the next
biennium." Trotter said. "This is a major issue
for us. and it 's not funded in any of the
legislative budget."

burdens of student loans. She
exp lained how lower income
students might be forced to
take out more loans as the
price of attending college
increases. Most students, she
claimed, underestimate the
implications of their loans.
"Instead of raising
tuition," said Golden, "we
need to increase Pell Grants."
President Les Purce
provided the administrative
position.
"Evergreen has always
maintained that the best
policy is low tuition and high
financial aid," Purce said. He
also noted that federal and
state policies have changed
drastically over the last halfcentury, with fewer grants
available and much higher
tuition.
Responding to Adams'
request for action, Purce said
that the school has asked the
legislature to set "predictable
tuition levels. [The limits]
should be uniform with each
of the ins ti tu tions in th e
state."
When asked later at what
level, and using what criteria,
pizzas per st udents," the
house and senate will agree
on a budget and will give
tuition-raising power to the

C ooper Poine Journal • 6 • April 12, 200 1
A self -operation model could indeed provide all of these services, but the DTF realizes how essential it is to have adequate
time to develop a successful program. Two different consultants made it clear to the DTF that planning must start at least
one full year prior to such a transition_ Rich Wheeler of Fessel International Hospitality Consultants framed it well saying, "It is
our position that any decision involving a substantive (change in or) move toward self-operation of Dining Services should be
based on positive decision points rather than the sense of 'being forced' into the decision as the only alternative, particularly
due to current time schedules. Such a decision is too important and potentially permanent to be made from a defensive
position. "
The DTF researched possibilities within the local community. Contacts ranged from South Puget Sound Community College to
local small businesses around the Olympia area and some of the larger-scale food producers in the region. While they were
quite interested, the scope and scale of our dining needs exceeded all of their capacities_ Even with the multiple vendors
model, we could not resolve how to utilize the centralized kitchen in the CAB to provide daily service, the meal plan, summer
conference and catering needs, and still be financially successful _
Term of contract was also explored as it pertained to each type of contract. In the past, Evergreen has offered a ten-year
deal (seven-year contracts with three one-year extensions), staying within the industry norm. No vendors expressed interest
in a short-term contract, and not wanting to commit to another seven-year contract, the DTF recommends that we offer a
five-year contract with two two-year extensions. This insures that we will have interest from the vendor community and also
provides the college with the most amount of flexibility regarding future food service needs at Evergreen.
1
Through the DTF's examination of a college-owned and operated food service, it became apparent that for any food
service to be financially viable, we need to integrate all of the currently separate components of our campus food operation,
and develop some type of dependable financial base to sustain the operation . Understanding the need to create a dependable financial base, a debit-based meal plan became a promising solution. This new meal plan would need to be non-tradit ional and easily accessible to all students, faculty and staff.
After exploring the different food service models, it also became apparent that successful food services are highly dependent on their ability to provide a late-night food option , mainly for the residential community. The Housing Community Center (HCC) currently provides the most convenient and unique late-night food option_ Currently there are two separate food

Recognizing the value of the current operation in the HCC, we are seeking to preserve its distinctive student-centered flavor
while enhancing it as a resource for our community. We view this space not only as a resource to provide food for our community, but also as a fantastic learning model of how a small business functions .
In concluding our "phase one " efforts, we made a set of recommendations, which are posted in the CAB and in Issue 19 of
the CP J regarding factors that we identified during phase one. These factors need to be addressed no matter which model
Evergreen decides to use to provide food services for the future.

The food service needs of the college stretch further than what is apparent day-to-day during the academic year. We provide a meal plan for approximately 200 EF language students during the summer, as well as providing service for a large
summer conference schedule ($600,000) . Year-round, our food services facility provides concessions , a vast variety of
catering services, three meals daily (Monday through Friday) for the EF population , as well as three meals daily (MondaySunday, based on the scheduled classes) for the rest of the students, faculty, staff and visiting community members. All
food service models must have the ability to provide all of these dimensions_

standoff escalates
By Brian Frank, Graham Hamby, Vanc.:ssa

Domestic
-The standoff between China and
the US over the crash of a US spy plane
and a Chinese fighter jet continues to
escalate, and theChina said they will
be sending the troops home for
humanitarian reasons. VP Cheney has
stated that the administration wiu not
apologize. The situation has severely
aggravated US -China relations and has
clearly stirred both Chinese and US
nationalist sentiments. The situation
follows Bush's blunt statements to
visiting Chinese Vice-Premier Qian
Qichen that Washington would not take
Beijing's position into account when
making decisions on arms sales to
Taiwan, which China regards as a
renegade province. (www.afp.org)
- A broad new study by Harvard
and New York University find that
segregation of minority groups is even
more widespread in US cities than it
was in 1990, despite increases in
min ority populations throughout the
US. (vvww.afp.org)
- Canada's Prime Minister Jean
Chretien called Bush "nai"ve" last
week, accusing him of having little
knowledge of Canadian - US relations.
Chretien also cr iticized Bush's
"cowboy" demeanor and "damn the
torpedoes" attitude in the current
standoff with China. (www.thestar.com)
-The head of the U.S. Agency for
International Development in
Colombia acknowledged that aid for
development was going slowly, while
fumigation efforts under a $1 Billion US
military aid package are wiping out
drug crops in Colombia at a record pace.
Because'of a lack of alternatives, many
of the coca farmers in southern
Colombia are already replanting drug
crops. Small farmers who have been hit
are comp laining that food crops were
killed alongside the coca, and that
pledged alternative development aid
has not arrived. (www.ap.org)
-In related news, the US government
warned Colombia that the country's
support for a UN observer force in
Israeli-occupied territories Jwhich the
US fiercely opposes - endangered the
US's relationship with Colombia. The
statements angered many Colombians,
with one newspaper editorial s:aUing the
statement by the US government "the
policy of an empire to its vassals." (I

oMost of the member countries of
the Organization of African Unity have
ratified a treaty that will create what
western observers have deemed "the

- A Turkish prisoner on a hunger
strike since late November died last
week, the second death in nationwide
prison protests. The prisoners are
protesting the introduction of new jails,
in which small cells will replace
dormitories for dozens of inmates, a
setup they believe will leave them more
exposed to abuse by prison wardens. At
present, between 500 and 1,000 inmates
are on the hunger strike that was
initiated in October. Last December,
paramilitaries raided 20 jails across
Turkey to break the hunger strike, a
move which resulted in the deaths of
two soldiers and some 30 prisoners,
many of whom died by from selfimmolation .

arrested last week in a civil
disobedience action in Ottawa, where
activists attempted to enter the
government's Department of Foreign
Affairs and International Trade in order
to retrieve a copy of the draft copy of
the Free Trade of the Americas
Agreement (FTAA). Protesters are angry
that the details of the agreement have
been kept from all but a select few

Earth Week 2001 at Evergreen
[3y jor:. R"hm - Lorb<:r
ArnnL'sty
Int('rn ~ti()n,ll
Coordinnt()r
t
Next week, we co me
upon the annual Earth Week
celebration at Evergreen.
Traditionally,
student
environmental groups have
led this week of celebration
and education. This yea r,
there is a uniqu e twist to
Earth Day a nd the 6 days of
eve nts leading up to it. One
of your m a in campus human
rights groups, Amnesty
In terna tional (A l), ha s
decided to take on th e everpressing
con ne c tion s
between humans and our
e nvironment. For too long,
environmenta list and human
rights defenders have been
divided
for
whatever
rea so ns, fighting for the
same things but re maining
isolated and in competitive
contrast.
As an env ironm e ntal
activist, 1 resisted working
for
a
human
rights
organization. I question the
top-down power structure of
a worldwide organization
and my ability to examine
where my energy would be
going - who would really
benefit from my work within
AI? Would I even be able to
identify
critically
the
implications of my work? I
wondered if my endeavors
as an activist in this realm
would eventually divert me
from my goals, from the
battle J was fighting against
the globalization leviathan
and the Corporate States of
America. To this day, I still
question these things, yet I
am particularly impressed
by this year's foclls on Earth
Week. I think you will find
in the events scheduled for
next week an array of
doorwa ys ropportunities?]
see king to ed lIca te and
empower all of us to resist
the
destruction
of
community autonomy, our
na tu ral resou rces and
ancient heritage, and our
fun damentaJ
right to
voiceour
o pin ion s
and
lise
ollr
bodies
and mind s to
change the destructive
direction of our lives.
The motiva tion of
power over th e many and
obsession with profit has
crea ted a world in which , if
you defend the land , water
and air, if yo u defend you r
co ntinu ed ex is tence and that
of your future children, you
will be persecuted, to rtured
and possibly killed. Your
ac tive re s istance is the
grea test threa t and thereure
s tru ct ural
enti ti es,
gover nment s
and
corporations who will never
take responsibility for their
environmental
and
humanitarian crimes unl ess
they a re forced to do so.
Amnesty International
is not a radical nongovernmental organization
(NCO); they do not take
political stances, and they
avoid certain situations that
might discredit them. The
Evergreen students of AI's
group, howe ver, challenge
this approach, and we have
chosen to focus April 16-22
around issues that give us
some poli ti ca I flexi bili ty,
si nce it seems impossible to
separate the environmental,
socia l, economic, and
political 1I1fluences around
us.
A main focus of th e
week will be on th e resource
extraction
industry,
especially that o f oil. The gas
station on the co rner and the
oil you use to heat your
home are tainted with th e
blo od and swea t of dyin g
and oppressed communities
worldwide. J buy a ga llon of
gas to ge l to the mountains
for the weekend, a nd
because I know what these
compa ni es ine doing to th e
lond and its people, I have
blood on my hand s. I would
never persecute anyo n e for
using hi s or her car for
transportat io n; we live in a
ca r-dominated
world .
Regardless , if we live in
comple te ignorance to where
ou r money goes, we can
never
make
ed ucated
decisions
about
o ur
consumption practi ces.
I look around at my oil
company choices. 1 cannot
choose the lesser of two
evils.
Virtually
every
corporation
carries
egregious examples of the
most extreme s uffering and
unjust practices. Uno ca l,
Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil,
and Texaco each currently
occupy several countries
where horrifying human and
environmental rights abuses
are daily occurrences. The
link between governments
and corporations buying
them off result in the
implementation of for ced
labor,
indigenous
displacement, genoc id e,
torture, and imprisonment.
In Burma, the building
of the Yadana pipeline by
Unocal is forcing thousands
of Karen and 'members of
other ethnic groups to
abandon their villages and
work. on infra s tructur e
projects for the corporation.
The pipeline proj ect exists
und er the rule of the
Burmese government which
is notoriou s for its human
rights vio lat ions at every
soc ial
level.
The
co mmuniti es affected by this
project have Ii ttle or no
a ccess to information about
consequences to hum an and
environ m enta l hea lth , and
are granted no opportunities
to res ist the oppression that
is the con tex t of their lives.
Similar, th o ugh individually
uniqu e , cases in Nigeria,
C had , Ca meroon, and
Ecuador are d evastat ing
both the human and nonhun\an communities as you
read these words.
I encourage this to not
hinder your ability to b e
active
participants
in
change, but to motivate you
to come hear the stories of
those who live and work for
these causes, those whose
lives have been transformed
by these issues. Come
educate yourself about your
own connection to the rest of
the world, and learn how
this connection is impacting
th e very change you are
fighting
to
achieve,

Dear Cooper Point Journal.
As winter quarter winds down,
and anticipation for spring sets in, I
thought it would be a natural idea to do
some mid-year evaluations here at The
Evergreen State College. I narrowed my
focus to the parking sihl3tion and just
how well things are operating outon the
blacktop. So Isat down with Suzie Seip,
the Parking Supervisor at TESC. She is
responsible for most parking issues on
campus and was more than glad to
answer a few questions.
.
Suzie was confident that
everything has been running smoothly
this year and hopes things will continue
to do so. No real problems, as it appears,
' .. e1' en"n~'nn' «"'Ae such as parking pass
alterations and the distance to park
when campus is full. Suzie smiled and
was quick to let me know that, every
quarter, at least a few people get caught
changing the date on their dailyparlting
pass. 11lis mistake lands students with
a hefty fine and a wheel lock until it is
paid in lull. Suziewishesstudentswould
th ink ofthe alternatives before their pen
becomes an accomplice for mischief
So what are the alternatives?
Assumingyou are without the $1.25 for
daily parking and/or the annual pass
that costs $32 for each quarter, students
have little choice for long-term parlting.
Ifstudents are on campus for a short time,
they can use the free one-hour parking pass,
but it is enforced exactly for one hOllr. There
is always the thirty·minute loading dock
spaces, but they are usually out of the way.
The most logical alternative is to use the
mass transit system, which is free if)l)u are
a registered Greener, Not only does it help
promote a world with less pollution, but
also it reduces traffic and the need for
parlUng room on our campus, So please, if
you don't need to drive every day, take
advantage of the bus service that many
colleges go without.
As I found out, it's an overlooked fuct
that parking services on campus is a self.
funded operation. The revenuesfrom daily
parlUng passes and annual permits go to
the same fund, used for maintenance and
services, which includes pay for employees.
The concluding question looms, what
advice is there for students who make the
commute to TESC? Suzie stresses the
importance of mass transit and the desire
to get students to c;upool to campus. She
also wants students to know that parlting
services is there to help. Ultimately, they are
on campus providing a service for students
and staff, sogivethema callwhen)OO need

A. Riot bricks are specially trained
or as some say, manufactured, to
make blood easy to clean off them
and for them to get incredibly
slippery when wet. When our school
was cons truc ted in the '60s, our
country wa s in turmoil. With the
Civ il Rights Movement, the war in
Vietnam, and Go ldie Hawn on
Lallgll-In, our country's leader s
needed to maintain order. The best
way in their estimation was to build
the main sq uare of every college in
the co unt ry out of riot bricks . This
way, if cha os ever erupted in the
learning centers of Amer ica, highpowered hoses could take care of it;
or if greater force was needed, the
blood of th e future of the country
could easily be cleaned up .

THE INTERVIEWS: RICK HARDEN
Unroll Your Dollar Bills ...
This "Blow" Ain't Worth It
IZn it.'" h~ :\c\.lnl
Luull'
1f you look at New Line Cinema's
websi te for, Blml', they 'll tell that this
movie is rife with, "smart humor and
probing detaiL" which, "ou tlines the
lifestyle of a mega-rich smuggler the border crossings, the ruthless
negotiations, the sudden betrayals, the
wild characters, the run-ins with the
justice system, the inherent problems
in dealing with massive amounts of
cash, the temptations and,
ultimately, the tragedy of blowing all
of your dreams for greed."
This is no lie. Blow does in fact
cover all of this stuff and then some.
But, as Johnny Depp's character asks
at the end of the movie, "Is it worth
it?", you must suppress the urge to yell
at the screen a resounding "No!". The
only tragedy here was that the movie
actually got made. Don't get me
wrong, it's a great story. But it 's a Ime
story. Because of that one gets the
feeling that the dIrector tried to cram
as much accurate detail into two hours
as he could, lest he violate the cardinal
rule of fucking with non-fiction . The
result is a yawning, repetitive
presentation of a rigormortis plot that
could've been something big.

minutes, we are filled in with the
blanks on how exactly he got into

the 1950's all the way to the early
1990's. During the course of his roller addicted to coke. Because he has a new

I'm talking with Rick
Harden, head coach of the
women's basketball team for the
la st four years and head coach of
the men 's and women's tennis
team for the last two.
CPJ: Hi, Rick, how's it going?
Rick: Good, Shasta, good .
CPJ: So, Rick, can you tell me a
bit about yourself, how you got
here, and what you did before
you were at Evergreen?
Rick: In
the
four
years
preceeding coming to Evergreen,
I was the head girl's coach in
Sea home High School in
Bellingham, WA. I left there,
heard there was a posi tion open
here, and applied for it, and
became the first coach of
women's basketball at Evergreen.
The years before coaching at
Seahome, I used my coaching to
travel. I was the head coach of a
men's professional team in
Switzerland for two years,
preceeding being at Seahome,
and two years before that, I was
the assistant coach at a 4H Boy's
school in Tampa, Florida. Before
that, 1 was a professional coach
for some teams in Australia,
men's teams and one year a
women's team ... 1 started a
professional women's team in
Brisbane, Australia; it was their
first year in their national league,
Preceeding tha t, I was three years
the assistant in the University of
New Mexico for their women's
team there.
CPJ: So, cou ld you talk a little
bit abou t star-ting the tennis
program as well?
Rick: The tennis program ...
basically, I got that job because
the guy they had hired before got
prostate cancer and couldn't do
the job about halfway through
the seaso n . It was actually about
a week before the season was
supposed to start. There had been
a couple of matches schedu led,
but at that particular time, he had
not been around the schoo l in
about six months, and so a lot of
the players who h ad said they
were goi n g to play thought that
there wasn't even going to be a
program, so they weren't
available to play, so there was
really a scramb le to try to get the
players . I think that, on the men's
side, it's been a lot easier to get
people to come here and play
tennis, and a lot more people in
the student body who are athletes
and who look at athletics the way
you have to to be able to compete
at the intercollegiate level, so it's
been a lot easier on the men's side
and I think our results really
show that.
It's tough to recruit women
players to Evergreen because,
and this is a generalizat ion, but I
think most people involved in
tennis would agree with it, is
most women who play tennis,
and most girls who play tennis in
high school, are mostly from a
country club setting, and I don't
think that those types of girls
readily come to Evergreen.
Again, that's a pretty big
generalization, but I think it's
pretty close to being right on,
whereas men and boys who play
tennis come from all different
kinds of backgrounds.
players playing, so that just
motivated them to play, also. So,
we've been able to get 10 guys to
turn out, and they're all pretty
solid players.
CPJ: What
now
that
basketball's over? I heard that
you're actually not coaching
women anymore.
Rick: No.
CPJ: Are you going to be
contin uing to coaching tennis?
Rick: No, not after this year .
This will be my la st year at
Evergreen. I'm looking for
ano ther job. I'm primarily a
basketball coach, and that's what
I've done for twenty-five years,
and I thought I would be at
Evergreen for quite a long time.
The disappointing thing for me
about the women's basketball
program at Evergreen is to start
it and not have any money, and
be part time for such a long ti me,
and to make a lot of sacrifices to
try to get the program going, and
at the point where we do get
some money, and we do have a
position open for full-time, and
to be told that I'm not going to
be th e coach anymore.
CPJ: As you move out of the
position of women's basketball
coach, and as tennis coach, are
you helping to usher in the next
people? Are you grooming Mike
Safford to be the next tennis
coach? How's that working?
Rick: I think that, in term s of
Mike knowing the program, it
would be a really good thing to
have some continuity there,
beca use the tennis team has not
had that continuity; there were

Sports at Evergreen have been
some thing heard about but rarely
seen or read. This year has seen the
evolution of sports journalism at
Evergreen. Starting with a couple
of submitted articles and a couple
of a ll -nigh ters in the CP], sports
editing was born. [ have covered
sports for the last quarter with
sparse aid from various people.
This quarter sports are being
covered by a crew of 5. The crew
of multifarious students ranges
from 4 and 5 year seniors to 3"d
quarter freshmen. The interest that
these students have jumped in with
is evolving sports journalism even
further here at Evergreen. With the
abil itry to get to nearly every event
that is nearby, even some that occur
at the same time, what is
happening in the sports world can
now be more thoroughly covered.
Even with comprehensive
sports coverage, there is still one
factor missing in most of the events
that we cover: fans. Aside from the
occasional girlfriend/boyfrind or
parent the sidelines are empty, I
implore you Evergreen students
that are interested in playing or
watching a particular sport to
make the time to go to an event.
This last weekend was my first
jaunt to a crew meet and as boring
as I thought it was going to be, I
was delighted to find myself
wrapped up in the screaming as the
Evergreen boat powered by. Here
on campus, our men's tennis team
is doing something never done
before by a Evergreen tennis team-they are winning. What can help
them get to the next level, winning
in the playoffs, is fanatics, students
, who will go and watch, cheer and
yell, and give our teams a much
needed advantage. Home court
advantage is mostly due to the
fans. The loudness of home cheers
is what gets to the other teams.
Only basketball had anything close
to a fan base. Look at the sports
articles, see when the next events
are coming up, and make some
time to get to them. Don't limit
yourself to just NCAA or NAIA
sporting events, find out what the
clubs are up to, go watch the newly
created sport, Brutalball. There are
many students who are carrying
Evergreen's name in the sporting
world; support them in their drive
to win.
The spring brings new life to
sports at Evergreen and as a new
section of the sports section in the
CPJ and as a new feature on my

competitive sports are now being

The action is so fast and brutal," said

It's like full-contact, half-court

whatever it takes to get a ball through
a hoop set up on top of a socce r goal.
As anyone whose seen it will tell you,

They spent half- time discussing

Evergreen controlled the game

to upset the cocky duo of Dermot O'Grady
and Isaac Mendez in an 8-5 set. This is the
first time that the team has ever locked
down a point against Lewis-Clark, and
only tlle fourth point given by LCSC so
far this year.
in singles play, LCse swept the field. Mike
Butte gave his ali in his 6-2, 6-31055 to Joao
Oliveria, and Mike Schor gave Guilherme
Martins a run for his money with a 6-4, 62 match. This was some of the best work
the men have ever done. This spirit carried
over into their match against Seattle U. in
the afternoon.
Having moved outside, the
Geoducks were able to open all the stops
against Seattle, barely losing 6-3, with
some very close bouts. Will Tubman
neatly retired Seattle's Carl Berquist 6-4,
4-2, and Mike Schor slipped to give up a
close match to Seattle's Ian Purganan 7-5,
7-6. The doubles team of Schor and
Tubman barely gave up the edge to lose
8-5.
For their efforts this week, the
