coordi nator is hudgeted for 14 hours a week.
Lindeman has one intern, and her office hours
are lintited to Wednesdays and Fridays.
Students ofte n must leave her a message.
Mary Craven was th e first person to do
Lindeman's job. Originally, grants funded th e
office and paid Craven's salary. Crave n, who
b also employed by student activities, was on
ca mpu s and available full·time. When the
grants ran out and Crave n left the post , the
omce of student affairs took up the bill. Nearly
a year later, the college hired Rosalinda
Noriega.
During her tenure, Noriega was
frustrated by th e position's la ck of funds and
relative obsc urity. She says that the amount
of work expected from the coo rdin ator is
unrealistic, given the amount of time they have
to do it.
"The administration is not going to
make this a higher priority until they see the
real numbers," said No riega. But most orthe
time, it is a person's friends. roommates. or
other close ones who help th em deal with an
assault. Those peopl e are not generally
required to report the assault, and thus a sca nt
number of people assaulted ever get counted.
Although she would love to have more
hours, a bigge r budget and more direct
support from the college's administration.
Lindeman stresses they ca n support so meone
who comes in asking for help.
"O ne office can't end violence on
campus," said Lindeman. She would like to see
a group of cou ns elors, students, and
administrators work on the prob lem. She

mission of the MRC L~ to provide resources for m en
to grow in mind, body and spirir. I have decided to
change the name of the club from "Men's Center" to
"Men's Resource Center," because the former name
d id n' t rea ll y d escribe the purpose of the club .
However, the new name lelb us that the club
provides resources for men.
Although our main goa l is to provide resources
for men, we would like to'Welcome women to attend
our meetings. We believe thi~ will benefit everyone,
We believe that deeper learning can often take place
when men and women djscuss gender issues togther
rather than separatel y. At our meetings, we will
discuss how people are oppressed in our society a nd
what we can do to fight it.
Ou r first co-ed meeting took pla ce on
Wednesday, April 25. It was a success, and we had a
nice, intimate group.
I would like to invite everyone to check out our
club's library. It is located in the Student Activities

In The Rebel, Camus said
,"There are crimes of passion and
crimes of logic." And judging
from this week's blotter, there's a
lot more of the former than the
latter.
How else would one explain
the irrational nature of these
incidents? We have violence near
the Auto Mall, fire alarms
mysteriously going off, and acts
of vandalism, narcotics and thefts
that horrify our Apollonian mind
even as they secretly please our
Dionysian nature. Oh, yes,
Nietzsche would find much to
say
about
this
week.
Unfortunately, since he's dead, he
won't be around to say it.
Thus, it falls on me to
communica te to you the nature of
our divided souls and the war
between Ollr heart and our head.
Or at the very least, I hope to tell
you about the fey, bizarre, and
completely random events that
make Evergreen the grea t
academy of learning that it is
renowned for.

Two fire alarms are caused by
burnt food today, although police
are suspicious about the second
one, since there were no residents
around. You know, if things are
spontaneously combusting now,
then my theory will have been
right and all those fools in

they doubted me . And, you know,
I'll have to cover more fire alarms .

route to Evergreen after a stop at
the County Prosecutor's Office
when he is flagged down by a
passing motorist. It turns out that
there is a fight in the middle of
Cooper Point Road (near the
Capitol Auto Mall) involving two
stopped cars, two men fighting,
and a woman trying to break
them apart. Police break up the
scene, and finally, traffic resumes
as normal. As for me, I lie secure

"So, what's a luau?" I've been
getting that question a lot lately, and
I'm always happy toexplain, but it still
upse ts me when people bring up
stereotypical comments like, "Oh, do
we ge t to wear our bikinis," or, "Are
we gonna hula hula?"
I don't blame the individuals for
their thoughts. In fact, in las t week's
CPT, a s taff writer added "Wan t to
relive the final moments of Grease 27"
to an article about the upcoming luau .
Although I assume the comment was
milde in jes t, scen es from Hollywood
movies like Grease 2 only help to
perpetuate the wrong perceptions of
th is cui tural event.·
I would like to set th e record
strilight. A luau is il ga th er in g or
celebra ti on that involves a lavish feast,
traditional dancing a nd merriment
that has gone on for a long time in
Polynesia. And if you need a little
refresher on where Polynesia b
located, it's the oceanic region thelt
includes the islands of Tahiti, Snmoa,
Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, and Hawaii.
Ed ucation is the goal of putting
on a Polynesian luau at Evergreen.
This event, which will take place
··continued from caller·'
on May -l from 5 - 8 p.m. in the
Longhouse, i~ the opportunity for
students, staff ilnd faculty to come
together and learn about the rich
Polynesian cu lture. Everything from
the food to the decorations have been
chosen to give participants the chance
to confront their own stereotypes and
at the same time expose them to things
with which they may have had no
contact. Local dance groups will
perform trad i tion a I dances d nd
someo n e will speak abou t issues
which are c urre ntly affect ing Native
Hawaiiilns.
If yo u're ready to experience the
sp irit of a loha, tickets to this eve nt can
be bought Tucsday-Th ursday from 10
a.m. to I p.m. in the CAB. T he cost is
$4 for housing students and $5 for all
others.lf yo u would li ke to vo lunteer
your time in li e u of a ticket, that can
be arrilnged.

The Birds Invade Evergreen
CO!))!)) ...
"t"ry hy D,lvid Smith
The cliff swallows (Pet rochelidon
pyrrhonota) have returned to
Evergreen, and with them have come
the ann uill rumors of nest irradiati on.
Perhaps it has somethin g to do with
the ongoing battle with the loca l
population of rock doves (sel: last
week's issue), but the swallows, their
nests and the mess they make seem to
be il cross between community
controversy and folklore .
In the past, either by accident or
design, the swallow's nests have been
disturbed or even removed, much to
the aggravation of the ornitholo gists
and bird watchers on campus, mainly
because cliff swallows are a pro tected
species.
The head of building services,
Michel George, is well aware of the
birds' protec ted status and assured me
that the only nest disturbed recently
was by accident and that they had no
intention of disturbing the swallows
any further. And yet, rumors of the
colony'S planned destruction showed
up almost as soon as the birds did.
These ki~d!; of debates go on a ll
the time around campus. For example,
what is the value of a dead tree? 1f
you're a gro undskeep er, it's just
ano ther clean-up project, bu t if you're
a natural sc ie nti s t, it' s a living
laboratory for mosses, lichens, insects,
a nd woodpeckers. It's a matter of
perspective.
The fact that the natural history of the
camp us should be debated at all is a
little disturbing to me. I think we've
forgotten ollr origins. The reason our
campus is concentrated around Red
Square and not spread over our
thousand acres is because our first
preSident, Charles McCann, fought
with the archi tects and managed to set
aside the majority of the campus as a
living I;]boratory while focusing the
community on it centra l "qUod." Part
of the price for having this kind of
setting is putting up w ith bird
droppings, dead trees ilnd brazen,
rotund raccoons. I think it's time that
we as an institution and a comm unity
reaffirmed our commi tment.to the
(semi) natural environm en t around
Ollr campus.
Abo ut the birds:
Why the cliff swallow needs
p rotection in the first place is
so m ething of il mystery; even the
people charged with their protection
(the Department of Fish and Wildlife)
are a little unclear as to the threat. The
best answer I found was that the birds
compete directly with an in troduced
species, the house sparrow (Passer
dOlllesi /CU~).
Swal lows build their nests with
around a thousand little balls of mud
on the faces of ove rhan g ing c liffs .
Buildings like ou r library are just
about perfect substitutes for the cliffs.
In add ition, the birds are>territorial
and return to the same nest site year
after year. So o ur library is not only
perfect for a swa llow colony, it's
unlikely that a ny measures short of
ex termination would be effective .
Swallow colonies Ciln range into
the thollsands, so we're lucky to have
ilS small a population as we do. The
birds themselves are impressive; they
migrate thousands of miles each year
from their winter range in South
America. They are insectivores,
catching their prey in flight, and have
been clocked at speeds up to 45 miles
per hour. The birds incubate two
broods a year, each of two to five eggs.
Incubation lasts for about two weeks.
The fledglings leave the nest after 25
days.
2:00 p.m: Living Outside Empire: The Subversive Power of the Bible. This will
be a conversation with Biblical Scholar Wes Howard-Brook. Wes
chalJenges people to come out of the empire of global corporations, and

ASSAULT
continued foom cover
envisions the group as c1 constant,
visible presence, one that decides its
own focus. "Un til we get the whole
community involved, nothing wi ll
happen."
Eve rg reen took some awkward
early steps toward s Lindeman's vision
at a meeting April 11 in the CAB. The
meeting, which featured 35
administrators, police, fa c ulty, staff,
and s tudents, was held in response to
a s tudent petition following an attack
in Housing earlier this year.
The meeting cl arified the
ca mpus's confusion about everything
related to assault. Many of those
present were unsure about what
services the school offers to victims.
Others were disappointed by the long,
knotty path of referrals, phone calls
and waiting that assault survivors
must often follow to get help . Even
campus police seemed underinformed about assault on campus.
Some people claimed that the
problems of violence on campus and
inadequate support for victims have
existed for years, and that the
April 26, 2001 • 5· Cooper Point Journal
admin ist r a ti on has historically
ignored the problem. Others blamed
the ignorance of society as a whole.
Eve ryone ag reed tha t everyone
must do more to end campus violence,
but specifics were less popular.
The college will soon see a
Disappearing Task Force to deal with
the prevention of violence on campus.
The committee will
include
representatives from Housing, police,
faculty, and students, as well as
Chandra Lindeman.
She has hopes for the committee
and wants it to look at both immediate
and long-term solutions. In the
meantime, she will continue to help
students that find their way to her.
"The biggest thing is just that
survivors talk to someone," sa id
Lindeman, "They have the power."
Anyone interested in participatitlg ill
the prevention of campus violence
com mittee should contact the student
affairs office at extension 6296. Sexual
assault prevention coordinator Chandra
Lindeman's office is in SEM 4126. Her
extension is 5221 . The Women's Resource
Center is on the first floor of the CAB ,

The place is Bend, Oregon.
Mt. Hood dilettantes flex in the
sleepy afternoon as they tour
downtown's seamy underbelly of
trinkets and designer fashion. On
the ou tskirts of town rises Pilotte,
a basking Hutt of a butte. The
fourth of July celebrations begin on
top of this glorious foothill, from
which you can see hundreds of
miles of sagebrush, stumpy trees,
rolling hills, and snowy mountain
. Pilotte Bu tte is one of
buttes in a massive expanse of
land, sky and flame-broiled patty.
At Pilotte's foot is the burger
joint: Pilotte Butte Burger,
deceptively owned by a gentle
grandmother. The estab li shment is
known for its rustic, homey feel
and grea t food. Seasoned fries,
shakes, salads, and, yes, burgers:
burgers that are served with a steak
knife in lieu of some namby-pamby
frilled toothpick. The regular
burger is a giant in a reality of
Whoppers and Big Macs; I finished
my vegetarian burger (served with
the same lov e and special sauce as
the meaty kind) and was fed for a
week. Then there are the
widowmakers: the 32-ouncer for
$25, and the 13-ouncer for $15.
Normally, people buy the two
gigantors to feed small or large
families as a special Bend
traditional meal. Kind of like

who've been told (by their
"friends") that if they tame one by
themselves, they get it for free and
have th eir picture taken. THE
LURE OF FAME AND FORTUNE
CAN DRIVE A MAN TO DO
WANTON THINGS!!!
For those of you feeling the itch
of a free burger, I will set you
straight: the burger, if you can
finish it, is not free. If it is fame you
seek, you will find it in a pit of
stomach acids and mayonnaise all
recorded with a Polaroid and a
smile. Sounds a lot more exciting
than you'll feel. Just ask Robert
Robichaux, one of my good friends
and proud defender of the 18-ounce
title. He received the adulation and
applause of the restaurant and 45
minutes of fame as he chewed,
gulped and belched his way
beyond old Andy Warhol's
predicted 15.

Along
by Michael Tanner
I'm not really big into the crime
thriller genre, but I just saw Along
Came a Spider and here is my review.
This is a prequel of sorts to 1997's
Kiss the Girls. Morgan Freeman
returns to his role as Alex Cross,
Washington DC detective, writer and
profiler. He is joined in this outing
by Monica Potter, the poor man's
Julia Roberts. It also stars Penelope
Ann Miller (Arnold's love interest in
Kindergartell Cop), Michael Wincott
I ("Why a spoon, Cousin?" from Robin
Hood, Prin ce of Thieves), Dylan Baker
·(the fey child rapist from Happiness),
and Billy Burke (who went to the
same high school as m y girlfriend).
The movie concerns the abduction oi
a s~nator's daughter frum h e r
private and highly secu'red school.
I The kidnapper contacts Detective
I Cross (Freeman) and involves him in
I the search. The disgraced secret
I service agent (Polter) formerly in
charge of securi ty at the school is
brought into the investigation by
Cross.
This movie is flawed in so many
different
ways.
Important
information is presented to the
audience but never explained to the
audience, so you end up just shaking
your head and saying, "Okay, if you
say so." Character motivation is
rarely exp lored. This is dangerous
when you spend a lot of time with
the kidnapper; you begin to wonder
why he is doing this . Apparently, as
briefly mentioned in one of the first
scenes, he wants to co mmit the
"Cri me of the Century" and be
written about by Cross. This point is
mentioned only briefly and theI~ is
complete ly for g otten but it still
doesn't give us the "W hy." It also
blatantly rip s off a scene trom Dirt.II

okay.
Morgan Freeman is grea t. But
his shou lders aren't so broad as to
carry this whole movie with very
little help. There arc other decent
performances--Dylan Baker as the
FBI agent in charge of the
investiga tion, Billy Burke as one of
the school's Secret Servicemen, and
Mika Boorem as the young
kidnapping victim.
I would recommend Kiss the
Girls or its older cousin, Seven. Not
that Spider is a terrible movie; it is
quite watchable, but that's about it.
If you really want to make up the
price of admission, then please stay
through the credits. The last two
characters under the cast li st are
absolutely worth it.
BABBLE
Jen Blackford
Okay, so I've never been that
good with music . r can't s it there
and trace the musi ca l influences
from jazz to rap or have a debate
on the origins of techno. Hell, I'm
s ur e so m e of the programmers at
KAOS would take one look ilt my
CD collection and immediately
fallon the floor, twit ching and
mumbling some thing about Ace
of Base. Not that I would ever
own a CD by them . Let alone two .
So writing this column is a
st retch. I mean, half the music
I' m into , no one really wants to
hear, and the other half, too many
people have heard. But there a
few a lbum s I possess that people
should know about, if only for
th e fact that it's good stuff . Two
of them are by a band called
Babble .
So you've heard of the
Thompson Twin s , right? You
know , "Doctor Doctor" and
"Hold Me Now"? They're part of
thos e nice, trippy eighties songs
that echo in your mind like a
staticky radio that's constantly
on the verge of a station, fading
in and out. Anyhow, after the
glory days of new wave, they did
two albums under the name of
Babble. According to the
rationale I found on Yahoo!
Music, it was done so they could
fool around with new sounds
instead of pop choruses.
Now, I'm no expert on the
works of the Thompson Twins. I
will not get into an analysis of
wha t the phrase, "Can't you see
I'm burning , burning" means.
However, I will recommend
Babble and the two alb ums they
produced (before they decided to
go on hiatus) for two reasons.
One, they introduced me to
the type of music I'm into today,
and two, they were both cheap
CDs.
Let me tell you a tale of two
acquisitions.
CD Acquisition #1: I'm in
Whittier, CA, with my sister,
trying to act as cool as I can, since
I ' m near Los Angeles and all. Of
course, it 's an impossible
situation, since she will always
remind me I am her baby sister,
which means my st rut into a
record store called Penny Lane is
pathetic. Still, it' s my duty as a
geeky/gothy 16-year-old to buy
music that doesn ' t sou nd like
whatever people in my school are
listening to. But of co urs e,
because I'm s uch a geek, I ha ve
no idea whal 's coo l.
That's how I end up getting meant determining if jeans a
two CDs for like five bucks or SQ . JC Penney 's, drinks at the
One's it gothic-country western Noodle Express, and cones at
band, Sixteen Horsepower, which Dairy Queen could fit into a
s hould also make the belst bands tight budget . And, of course, it
li s t, or at least the best songs meant going to the local record
a bout dealh and fundamentalism store, Rocking Rudy'S, and
that you can dance to . The other rum maging through their
racks
while
one was Etller by Babble, which is discount
pretending to write prices
actually their second a lbum .
Ether has three types of so ngs. down in a notebook.
That was where I came
The first kind is kicky, uplifting,
Middle Eastern-influenced mu sic, across Babble's first album, The
lik e "The Circle," "Sun," and StOlle, and immediately I knew
" ome Down." It's happy music it had to be mine . Thus, I now

music showed me that yo u could
do the strangest things to a song highly personal, and utterly
and still ~nd up with something self-interested piece with a
that was danceable. I t got me plea tha t you at leas t che ck ou t
thinking about music in a . way I this band. So the songs don't
had not thought of it before, not always flow well together. And
just as background noise, but as a I admi t that not everyone likes
e lectronics mixed in with
soundtrack to my life.
CD Acquisition #2: It's senior native chants. But if you do like
year of high schoo l in Missoula, music that you can dance to
MT, and I've pretty much decided without feeling like you're one
to take it easy. For me, that means step away from breaking ou t
practical arts classes, like in to a chorus from the
Yearbook, Computer Applications Ba c kstreet Boys, please give
and, of course, Persona l Finance. this band a try. Remember that
That class en tail s runni ng around, it saved me from a life of Top
finding out the prices of vario us 40 . It can save you, too .
P I LIS, there 's so mething

c ould afford them if you were pretty cool about a band whose
liner acknowledgments are,

Thank s to ' ome c reative "Babble gives thanks to

or not."

Blast from the past! I'm back at
last! I'm not going to waste your
time with my usual verbal hokum;
let's get down to business.
.
C. Powell asks:
Q. What's that building on the
far end of campus (by the Mods)
used for?
A. It's the indoor skating rink,
my friend. Now, don't think you'll
be hearing the sweet· sounds of
Warrant's "Cherry Pie" or a voice
announcing, "Couples skate.
Couples skate only." This rjnk is for
athletic skating. RoLlerball. A
dangerous, futuristic sport where
teams compete not only for points
but for their very freedom. Don't go
near there at night, dear child. You
just might get recruited.
P. Allen has to know:
Q. Who is Mr. CHUD?
A. Let me ask you a question,
p, Allen! Why do people say ATM
machine? Or why do they say
WWWinsteadofWorld Wide Web?
These are real questions. Your query
is nothing more than an elaborate
front. An elaborate front to hide
your true identity. An identity you
have tried to hide with your clever
use of an alias. An alias Which was
as transparent as the flavor of a
steam tray special. A steam tray
special which was created by using
heat from the Steam Tunnels! Steam
tunnels in which you live. Yes, you,
P. Allen are none other than
Spectacula Dracula!
B. G. Murphy asks:
Q . Has The Simpsons lost its
edge?
A. Matt Groening and I had a
real heart to heart when he was here
last year. I said to him, "Matty
(that's what I call him), what are you
doing? Simpsons has had a good run,
Don't get me wrong, but come on,
you jumped the shark with the
'Who shot Mr. Bums' stuff." He said
to me, holding back tears, "Dammit
man, you think I don't know that?
Every time I try to get out, they keep
pulling me back in." So I said to
him, "Now you're just referencing
Go'dfather Ill." At that, he lost it. It
was like the Red Sea out of them
baby blues. I held him. Afterward,
we ate Butterfingers and watched
Futurama. Does that answer your
question?
Does the pain ever end? Not i:O
your lifetime, buckaroo. If you're
looking for more E!vergreen action,
be sure to check out our E!vergreen
Special Edition in this very issue.
Coming next week is another
special feature column written by
myself about the "Alien Abduction"
video. Which" Alien Abduction"

I have been reading with , 01l1e interest
the re~ponses to the memo sent out by five of
th e top administrators regarding the student
protest last week against Sodexho-Marriott.
I am alarmed and somewhat bemused that
many members of the "community" are ready
to believe the worst about our s tudent
protesters (and extrapolate beyon d belief )
because it appears over the signatures of
those in "a uthority" (with the exception of

in Seattle was not the protesters or th e
600 people who were arrested by the "proper
authorities" - and over 90% were not found
guilty of anything. The main issue was the
criminal behavior of the WTO.
The main issue here is not that a
Sodexho-Marriott corporate representative
felt insulted but that Evergreen may be ready
to sign a contract for seven years or more with
a corporation that is infamous for its antilabor, anti-union activities, its unsafe working
conditions and its for-profit prison systems
that have a record of racism, sexISm and
corruption. More information can be
accessed online. One of the better search
engines is www.google.com. One could also
read last week's CP) for an excellent article on
the corporation. (Yes. they actually do
publish some good stuff now and then.)
I would like to thank the students for
bringing this matter to our attention. (None
of the information about who the visitors
were is in the memo). They hopefully have
saved Evergreen a lot of headaches in th e
future . If the administration signs an
agreement with a corporation like SodexhoMarriott, the administration might as well
put a sign on its back saying, "Kick Me." By
the way, that is not a threat but merely a very
accurate observation.
I have no doubt that what I have written
will disturb some of the liberal sensibilities
of some members of the community. I am
sorry for that, but I can live with it. 1 do not
apologize for being concerned about gross
injustices, concerned about being made to be
complicit with oppression and being made to
pretend that the world will be better if we are
polite to our oppressors. It didn't work in
Vietnam , EI Salvador, Germany and
elsewhere. I also think that we need to
remember that "question authority" is not
limited only to our national government but
also applie$ to local situations.
Sincerely,
Larry Mosqueda,
Member of the Faculty
Students, Faculty, Staff, Community Members, and
Administrators:
(Given to the CP) on Tuesday, April 24, 2001}
who the hate-group really is. Frankly, we believe that associating
us with hate groups shows a lack of imagination and is meant to
sensationalize this issue by bringing to mind the actions of the
Ku Klux Klan. (Editor'.~ 1I0te: Within tlIe TESC e-mail system, a
number of e-mail responses make comparative allusions
between the protestors and hate groups.JDo we need to remind
the signatories of the letter that the vast majority of people in
this country's prisons. both public and private , are people of
color? The masks were not intended to intimidate or threaten
the Sodexho-Marriott representatives. We fail to see howwe can
make this point any clearer.
Because an explanation was not published to explain to th e
greater community why we felt that a demonstration at this
meeting was necessary, we will do so now. Sodexho-Marriott
makes money from putting human beings in cages. SodexhoMarriott has been implicated in illegalunion·busting activities.
These are not secrets. This information is available to anyone
who wants it. This is a learning inst itution. Do the resra rch. There
is no neutral stance on this issue. As famed historian Howard
Zi nn once said. "You C3nllot be neutral on a movin g train ." We
do not want companies that profit from human miser)' and
commit human rights violations feedll1g us co rn dogs in th e CAB.
using our money to fund th eir corrupt business practices.
The issue ofSodexho·Marriot t bidding for th e food ~e rvl ce
contract has come lip before. There was ~Irong re~istance to the
company then. They withdrew. They are back. The continued
opposition by th e Evergreen Administration and SodexhoMarriott to heed the will of th e studen ts on this issue has bred
feelings of powerlessness, frustration. and rage. We have tried to
talk to the administration; we were patted on the head and told
a DTFwould take careofit. Students that attended meetings with
Sodexho-Marriott and asked questions pertaining to their ties
to prisons and union-busting history were brushed aside by slick
PR men and outright lies. Here they are again. To quote Art
Costantino out of context, "This type of behavior is intolerable."
The Evergreen Social Contract states, "Evergreen can thrive
only if members respect the rights of others while enjoying their
own rights." What has happened to our right to dissent against
an unjust situation? Where is our right to not be judged and
executed via e-mail by an electronic witch hunt that has few or
no facts? In our eyes, no one was intimidated and no one was
threatened . The only thing that was threatened was the
administration's and a corporation's ability to do whatever they
want despite the wishes of this community.
We choose at this time to remain anonymous. The
reputation of a multibillion-dollar multinational corporation has
been tested. An administration that is bent on increasing the
amount of corporate involvement at this school during a time of
financial hardship has been pushed. The result is the threat of a
criminal investigation and pressure within and outside this
institution to track down the "pernicious" masked perpetrators.
We don't feel safe to come forward in this environment. This
situation has the potential/or a witch hunt atmosphere, in which
the only conclusion is the expulsion of students for doing the
right thing. Is this administration going to expel 41 students for
doing the right thing? We ask that the administration act
immediately to cease police investigation of this matter, that
individual students and organizations not be scapegoated for the
actions of many, and that a general amnesty from prosecution
be granted for all involved. We also ask that you, the members of
the Evergreen Community, express themselves on this issue
loudly and clearly. Some folks are a Iittl~ hard of hearing.
We are some, but not all, of the masked men and women
who participated in the demonstration that took place in
opposition to the Sodexho-Marriott Corporation on April 12.
This letter is not intended to represent all of the participants.

Diversity is supposedly a
wat.chword here at Evergrf'en.
Certa inly, it is a household word. But
how many people know that even the
phrase "household word" comes from
the play Henry VIII , by William
Shakespeare? Much of our common
language comes from Shakespeare,
including words like "assassination,"
"co ldblood ed," and "love letter."
Much of our cou ntry 's hi s tory ha s
been shaped by men like Jefferson,
Washington, and Lincoln-as well as
Si r Francis Drake, Henry VIII, and
othe r Europeans. Diversity is a good
thing, but a diversity without all of
hi s tory and language's prime shapers
is a fallacy.
I have never understood people
who find Shakespeare boring. As long
as I can remember, I h ave been
fascinated by his stories, even those
outright stolen from other sources.
(This was not as bad in Elizabethan
times as it was today. Most famous
works of the time were at the very least
borrowed from others .) Recently, I
picked up a book ca lled "Brush Up
Your Shakespeare" at our schoo l
bookstore. (I also picked up "Naughty
Shakespeare"-believe
me,
Shakespeare isn't boring!) In it, the
a u thor detai led phrases and words
first recorded by the Bard of Avon.

Letter to the Editor:
I would like to clarify a few points
about ~he furniture purchase article in
the April 19 issue of the Cooper Point
Journal.
The furniture for the two vice
presidents' offices was recommended
and purchased by Facilities Services. The
vice presidents expressed a preference
for wood furniture. Facilities staff made
the selections and presented the options
to the vice presjdents without including the
prices of those options.
Facilities staff purchased the furniture
from a manufacturer on the state contract
list at the State contract price (51%
discount), believing that the furniture was
on the state contract. In looking into the
matter after your article, it was found that
Facilities had erred. The furniture was not
on the· state contract, but rather had been
sold to the College at state contract price.
To prevent future occurrences,
Purchasing and Facilities have reviewed
state contract purchasing policies with
staff and have modified purchasing
proced ures.
I appreciate this opportunity to
respond to the story and to explain how
Facilities is working to prevent this from
happening again.
Sincerely,
Michel George

Actually, I' d probably be a ll
right if I'd stop watching television

can be ignored. Magazines tend to
have fai rl y obtrusive edi torial slants,
but they ca n generally be end ur ed.
The homogeny of the news they
report is depressing, but it's
understandable considering their
iludience, clnd you can still get a clear

you're willing to consu ll several

The Olympian prints fabrications
and then denies it
Last Sunday, I attended the
Earth Day ce lebration on ca mpu s
with two of my friends. After
eating the tasty vegan meal that
had been prepared and served by
the co mmitted volunteers, I
look e d over the animal rights
literature a nd co ll ec ted a few
a nti -f ur stickers. While at this
brochure table, I was <,pproached
by a woman who sa id s he was
with the Olympian, and an
interview began .
I ended up talking mainl y
about how I hild beell 1/Iorki17K on
becoming vegan and had slarted
c utting out dairy products about
a month ago . I s tat ed that ,
a lthough I had always b een
interested in a nimal rights, being
at Evergreen had increased my
·awareness of a nimal right s as
well as environmental i ss ue s. I
/le ver sa id that I was a vegan, just
that I had been working on it. In
the article, it implies that I said
that attending Evergreen had
turned me into a vegan. It is true
that I have changed how I eat and
get most of my protein and
calcium from sources oth er than
meat and dairy, but I'm not a
total vegan and never said that I
was. The turkey on the sandwich
I ate a week ago definitely counts
against me, as does the
mayonnaise, which contains
eggs.
After reading the article in
Monday's paper, I was very upset
at how I was misquoted. I was
not portrayed in an unfavorable
light, but what I was quoted as
saying never came out of my
mouth. It was disappointing, and
it is an example of what ca u ses
peopLe to mistru s t the m ed ia . It
wa s as if the reporter, Ru th
Longoria,
wan te d
to
COlTununicate something in her
article and decided that I should
be the one that should say it.
Anytime that I have written
ar ticles fo r publications, I have
never put anything in quotes
unless it was the exact words that
so meon e had said. In our society,
the media has a lot of power. It is
a misuse of this power to
mi s quote so m eo ne. Whether or
not th ey are malicious statements
is irrelevant to me . If I didn 't say
it, don't print that I did .
This is certainly something I
co uld hav e overlooked and not
reported, and I' m s ure th a t in a
sit uation like this where the
quote was not hurtful, that
probabLy often happens. But it
s houldn 't matter whether it's
damaging or the most pleasing
thing ever said. The on ly person
thilt s hould b e quoted saying
some thing is the person that
actually sa id it.
As I stated, J wa s not
represented unfavorably, but I
was mi sq lloted and thus
misrepresented.
'''So many
people don ' t know what's going
on in the environment. But, here
we have permission to talk about
the problems: Somers said . 'And
we can learn th e things we can do
to solve those problems. '"
Although the previolls
sta tements, which I was quoted
as saying, may be true, I never
sa id them. If I never said them,
then why were they printed in
The Olympian as being said by
me?
Senior Apathy
by E. Rose Nelson
Wednesday, April 25 was the day
of auditions for student graduation
speaker. Several of us turned out to
present our speeches. Mine, at least,
had been the product of much hard
work and soul-searching. (Well, okay.
So I finished it two hours before
auditions were scheduled to begin. So
not the pOint.) Those of us with
speeches in hand sat and waited for
an audience to arrive. And waited.
And waited . We had two people
eligible to vote in the entire audience,
and one of them was part of the
planning committee and had to be
there anyway.
Without a proper audience,
voting was not workable. Those of us
speaking had no vote, a policy of
which I approve. We had to wait for
at least ten non-auditioning seniors to
arrive before we could begin. This
never happened, despite the fact that
I was also quoted as say ing,
"I've always been into animal
rights, but here I have become
int eres ted in human rights and
the environmen!."
This is partially true. As 1
previously sta ted in this articl e,
I did say that I have always been
interested in animal rights issues,
and being at Evergreen has
increased my awareness about
animal
rights
and
the
environment. But I had been
interested in human rights issues
long be fore coming to Evergreen,
and in fact, not once did I
mention human right s in our
conversation.
I contacted Longoria on
Tuesday and brought to her
attention the mi s takes th at were
made. She stands by h er story,
swearing that I did , in fact, say
all of the things that were written
in the article. She claims th ey are
in her notes, which from what I
saw consis ted of quickly written
scribb le on a page. During our
phone conversation on Tuesday,
she a lso stated that I mentioned
Amnesty International, which
was never brought up by myself
or her during our interview. I'm
sure she talked to a lot of people
that day and perhaps was not
able to separate us when writing
the article. Perhaps someone else
said these things, and she had
confused me with them. I see this
as irresponsible journalism. Not
only does the media hold a lot of
power, they also have a high level
of responsibility. It is their duty
to print accurate facts, which in
this case they defaulted on.
There have been people that
have had their whole lives
destroyed
by
the
simpl e
misquoting of a few word s.
Obviously, my life and character
have not been totally destroyed
by this article. I am just
disappointed by this experience
with our local media. It is the
principle of the thing . I was also
shocked
at
the
l ack
of
compassion and intent to help fix
this problem on the part of
Longo ri a. Because of this, I asked
to speak to the ed i tor, so she took
my phone numbe r. By the time
the city editor called me back, I
was more upset than before, and
he unfortunately received the
brunt of some of that. I
apologized
for
this
and
understand and respect the need
for edi~ors to support their
reporters . I think that it is a
crucial thing for managers in any
arena to stand behind their
emp loyees. However, in the area
of news, where things are
supposed to be portrayed
truthfully (the operative word
being supposed) , I would think
that that would be the number
one priori ty.
At
the
end
of
our
conversa tion, the ci ty editor said
that h e would need to go over
Longoria's notes with her and
that he would call me back . At
the time of my writing this letter,
he had not returned my call.
The media has power and
responsibility. It 's always
upsetting when those things are
not handled with care and
professionalism.
everyone eligible for graduation was
supposed to have received the
information that auditions would be
at that time and place. There were
several prominently-placed signs on
campus as well. It is entirely possible
that some seniors did not know about
the event, but I had talked to quite a
few personally. None of them were
there.
Those of us who read the CPJ last
year know tha t the same thing
happened then. In our supposed
community, there are not enough
people who care about their student
speaker to fill a lecture hall. That's out
of a class of apprOximately a thousand.
I realize that graduation speaker is
hardly the most pressing issue on
campus, but that's still a pretty grim
statistic. Those of us who cared were
there to audition.
A new time will be determined
after the auditioning speakers'
schedules are checked-if you weren't
there today, you will not be permitted
to audtion-and the committee is all
but begging seniors to attend when it
is posted. I would like to add my
urgings as well, and not just because I
am planning to a\.ldition. If you care
about the image of your college to be
presented on graduation day, show up
next time.

BEATS THE
DRIFTERS
by Gin Harbold
This past Sunday's men 's
soccer game proved to be very
entertaining. The Evergreen
men's team dominated the
Drifters most of the game and
won five to one. The game was
filled with excellent goals, fancy
passing, and plenty of energy.
The score could have been ten to
one, but Evergreen didn't
capitalize on their myriad
opportunities in front of the net.
Still, the team did excellently,
pass ing crisply and controlling
the ball most of the game. If
you're a soccer fan, and .you
missed this game, you really
mi ssed o ut . The games are
Sundays, and if you show up
around two, you will catch the
end of an Evergreen game or be
just in time to watch a full-length
match.

you guys.
CPJ: Perfect time to be playing
better since you are going into
the playoffs. Think you have a
chance against Seattle U.?
Will: Far as I know, people have

about it. I think we can do much
better.
Will: I'm from Connecticut. I
lived there all my life before
coming out to California for a

Mike: Yeah, I do .
CPJ: Well, good luck with the

MEN'S
TENNIS
FINISHES
4th IN THE
CONFERENCE
by Neil Huizenga
The Tennis season here at
Evergreen is coming to a close. The
men and women played their last
meets leading up to the
tournament on the 27th.
The men played Green River
Community
College
on
Wednesday. Mike Schor played a
brilliant set against GRCe's Tod
Conley, winning 2-6, 6-3, 7-6. Mike
also teamed up with doubles
partner Will Tubman to defeat
Willenborn and Monoghan in an 86 set. Mike Ottoboni played a
grueling three set match against
Brant Monoghan, but lost 6-2, 2-6,
6-0. N ea l Ahern also played a long
match, losing to Patrick Boyle 3-6,
6-3, 6-4. Jordan Oaks was the last
big mover, but st ill ca me up short
against Adam Diaz, 2-6, 6-2, 6-0. All
in all, the men ca me out with a loss,
7-2.
When asked about their
ch ances before the meet, coach Rick
Harden sa id , "They [Green River]
are abou t as good as we are. All the
teams we have beat, they have beat.
All the team s we ha ve lost to, they
have lost to. It should be a good
meet. " The action was quite tigh t,
with fo u r sing les matches going
into the third set. The meet against
Green Ri ve r was an exhibition
match and does not count toward s
Evergreen's standing in the
conference.
_ On Saturday, the men went to
Seattle to play against Seattle
University. They were able to pull
in their second regional and fourth
overall win. This pushed them up
to fourth place, ahead of the now
fifth placed Seattle University. The
meet was spearheaded by Seattle's
lack of players, resulting in five
forfe ited match es. There wasn 't
much of a game left to play after
thilt, but Mike Ottoboni gave his all
against Ram Hernandez in a 6-·1. ".
3 match.
With their \",in this week , anC:
their newly rea cq uired tourtr
place, the men are going into th E.
conference tournament read\ te
make a strong showing. Thev wi l!
be playing Seattle U. in the firs t
round, ass uming that Seatttle can
find enough players to rebuil d
their team. This places Evergreen
into a position to play two more
matches at th e tournament.
The women had a harrowing
week, forfeiting to Lewis-Clark
State and losing 9-0 to Seattle. Tessa
Rue did her best against Seattle's
Marita DeLeon, but lost 8-2. The
singles, as well as the doubles
matches were played to eight in
this meet, where the singles are
usually best of three sets, with each
set being played to six. The
unfortunate loss keeps tl:e women
in last place in the conferen::e going
into the regional tourney on the
27th.
