Attention All
2002-2003 Students
May Day Marchers Own Downtown, for a While
\,
My name is
Andrew Cochran
and I am next year's
editor-in-chief for
the Cooper Point
Journal. I was born
in
and
raised
Albuquerque, New
Mexico, but lived
around, including
Oklahoma, South
Korea, Indiana, and
Ohio. I started at the paper because I love
[0 wtite. T stayed at the paper because I
love the people.
I'm biased, but I truly think the CPJ
has the potential to be the absolutely best
student newspaper in all possible universes
ever. No, really! I've seen some. The thing
about rhe CP] is, unlike most college
newspapers, any student can contribute.
A NY student. You don't have to be a
jour~alist student or a great writer or an
experienced photographer. You just have to
have something to say. ~
We do have guidelines. We won't publish any speech unprotected by the First
Amendment. This includes libel (making
untrue or unsubstantiated statements),
obscenity (though that's pretty hard to do),

Good Times: May Day marchers gathered at the inter~ection of City Hall and McDonald's Wednesday afternoon. The last the
CPJ heard, at 11 p.m. , about 150 people were talking and partying at the Bethel Street fair in what amounted to a block party, and
police had granted them permission to set up tents and stay the night.

Local Reactions
to the March
Protest Party from Cover
\
by Andiew GoChran
Protests are held to speak to o utsiders,
panies are held for insiders.
The May Day march Wednesday
seemed to be a combin ation of both.
So how did the community - th ose to
whom protest messages were aimed at respond~ Like the reasons the protesters
ca me , reactions from the comm uni ty were
mixed. Cymhia Major, of Capitol Florisr,
had no qualms with the parade. This was
her first experience w ith the May Day event,
and she didn't think it was a problem.
She also said it didn't hurt her business
at all.
Ja nc Laclergu c, proprietor of thc FireSide
Boo kstore, said that she was "ve ry unclear"
about what m essage the protes tcrs were
trying to send, and that it seemed more
of a "sp rin g fling." She added tholt the
ptotest wou ld cOSt the taxpayers of Olym pia
quite a bit of money for security and extra
police.
At least one shopkeeper was upset
about the parade. State of the Arts, an an
gallery on Washington Street, directly on
the parade route, saw no business today.
The owner said that doesn't usually happen,
although she allowed it could be the slow
economy.
Others workers were less annoyed and
more opportunistic. At Charlie's Tavern,
an owner beckoned, "Come on in! Show
your I.D.'s!"
A cyclist watching the parade go by on
Capitol Way felt the procession wasn't
inconvenient for the community at all.
"People know it's gonna happen," he said.
Olympia was prepared and. even if they
didn't know the exact route or duration
or size, the protest wa s a nticipated and
therefore manageable . H e finished, "it's
just Evergreen."
Olympia Police spokesman J. Pryde
was careful not to offer a strong opin ion:
"I read the papers just like everyon e else."
Pryde said OPD's job is public safety, and
len it at th aI.
A high sc hool student from Olympia
sa id he was there to take pictures for schoo l,
and thought the event was abou t half protest
and half street party. The comb inati on was
"pretry cool."
State workers smoki ng c igarettes and

'lOllle twentl' minutcs IJter. it arrived at the Coun II ~u,e
may 2, 2002
Spectators gleaned the sam e thing - it
was a protest, and it was a party.
One man watched th e march go down
Plum Street from outsid e his workplace.
"It's anti-globalism, anti -globalization
or som ething, right ~" he said . " It's peaceful,
so that's fine. And it looks like fun."
It did look like fun. The march sto pped
at the intersection betwee n C ity Hall and
M cDonald 's for about an hour. A speed y
hardcore band, th e In tima, played in the
middle of the stree t. G uys and girls shed
their shirts and spread on the body paint.
Weed was smoked . People played foursquare and bounced rubber balls.
It see med li ke eve ry third person had :1
camera of some kind.
The police, wh o thought the marchers
would con gregate at the Fo urth Aven u e
bridge, we re pleased that the ral ly snaked
th ro ugh the downtown srreets - sto pping
at Eighth and Plum, near City Hall, then
near th e Capitol , then to F ranklin a nd
Legion, then back to Ci ry Hall. th en off
to Bethel Street across from the Olympian's
offices.
And that's where the May Day rall y was
as the CPjwent to press.
At least three p eople were arrested.
One was a juvenile who spray-painted a
mustache on the side of a building; the
other two were charged with pedestrian
obstruction. Police said at 4 p.m., about an
hour into the march, that no ambulances or
fire trucks were delayed or redirected.
The Olympia cicy council says that they
spent $14,000 last year responding to May
Day, and about $30.000 in years past.
May Day met the expectations of just
about everyone who was there.
Reporters got some interesting pictures
and off-the-wall quotes. The demonstrators
were seen all over west Olympia. And the
party-goets h ad a blast. The police, who
worried publicly about violence and riotin g,
got less than they imagined.
and OlllO the grou nds. Police officers ill rio t gear insin uated
themselves b etween th e crowd an d entrance to t h e police
stati o n. After a te nse stand-o ff th at las ted abo ut five m inutes
t he police office rs p ull ed out a nd the crowd c heered and spi ll ed

The people mill ed, again in indecisio n, unril rumo rs of a

deal l They' ll release Lily if we go to Bethel Street!"
"We've won! We've won l ," shouted a Mayday partic ipa n t,

Hooray well( rh e c rowd, and slo uched toward s Bethel Street

four things they wanted to march about.
The march was a link.
Students smiled a nd c h ee red , and
when the H arr iso n street march pa ssed
const ruction workers on the bridge, they
said "Co me on and join us! "
One stud ent said he was worried
because he had to get back to c1as; later
that day.
Most students weren't so hopeful.
They looked ahead lO where thc march
snaked down Harrison hill.
As the march shu ffled over the bridge,
a man w ith a megaphone yel led from the
sidewa lk at the other end, "Bel ieve in Jesus
C h rist and you shall be saved."
"Just . Ignore
him,"
someone
responded.
T he crowd marched on.
Some students said they were satisfied
there was no spec ifiC march leadership .
N or leaders.
Each time the march stalled on a street
or inte rsec ti o n , a different part ici pant
would ask, "Ca n I have suggestions of what
people would like to do ~"
The crowd chee red at each new decision.
On a bus ride back to campus later
in the night, the su bject of every co nversation was the d ebate over th e point of the
march.
Each student speculated until they got
off at their stop.

Recommend IncreaSing Fees
-The
Services a nd Activi ti es Bo a rd
is faced with the prospect o f raising
fecs. The S&A Board is responsibl e for
allocating money to the va rio us st ude nt
g ro ups on ca mpu s, including rhe C Pj ,
EP IC, Students Against Hung e r and
H o mel essness, :lnd the C hildcare Ce nter.
The S&A Board has not raised fees in
t h ree years . C urrcnri y, eac h stlld enr pays
a total of $ 122.33 a quarter, or $367.00
a year. According to state law, the fee ca n
only be increased in yea rs when tu itio n
is also in creased.
There a re severa l reasons why th e
bOHd would like to in crease fees. For
o ne. minimum wage is being in c reaseci,
mea nin g that the m oney paid to studen t
emp loyees ha s been raised w ith out a
co n c u r rent in c re ase in t he poo l from
which they are paid. The numb er of
student organizations ha s increased by
24% in the pas t two years. The cost of
staff wages for health ca re has increased.
Finally, th e mortgage payment for th e
new childcare will cost $60,000 for nex t
year.
The board can n ot increase fees by a
hi ghe r p erce nt age than tuition will be
increased. In other words, if tuiti o n is
in c reased by only 10 %, th e board w ill
on Iy be allowed to in c rease the fee by a
m aximum of 10 %.
The S&A board consul ted with
st ude nts via one-on-one conve rsatio ns
outside the CA B from Monday to
Wednesday. S&A Board member Jarrod
Hays ,ays he realizes "t hi s is really last
minute," but t here were no plans to
raise fees thi s year. That was b efore
the board hea rd about Rev ised Code of
Washington 28 B.15.069 , th e state law
that ti ed any in creases in st udent act ivity
fees to in creases in tuitio n. Not know ing if
there will be a chance to in crease fees next
yea r, th e board has decided to recommend
rais ing them thi s year, despite the limi ted
chance for student input.
Thc S&A Board m et Wednesday, May
1, at a budget deliberation meeting. Afte r
discussing the choices, the board made
a final recommendation to the board of
trustees, who must ultimately app rove all
ac tions by the Board.

I really e nj oyed going
to see Michael Moore. He
showed up an hour late and
was obviously drawing from
a rapidly dwindl ing supply
of energy as t h e evening
edged toward his 48th birth day. His life story is inspiring
to those who slack, ro those
who try too hard, and to
those ~ho believe dressing
up as a giant gun, for examp le, and tormenting the NRA makes good television. "We
are not a minoriry." he said in reference to
the mainstream-touted approval ratings of
Bush by the nation. Of the 45 cities he has
visited, he said. every
hall and aud itori um
was filled to ca paci ty

Peter Bohmer, who gave an extensive introduction
for "our Michael Moore.'
"Hope is a necessary ingredient of social
change," Bohmer said. He praised Moore's "ability
to challenge the corporate elite." Finally, it was
time. Michael Moore stepped to the podium.
"Olympia!" he shouted at the crowd, sending
them into a frenzy. "Well I went to school - in
Olympia ... " he sang. which brought chuckles and
groans from the audience. Moore apologized for
being late and thanked the crowd for their patience,
then launched into two hours of inspiring. impassioned, and outright funny communiqtion,
A major theme of Moore's talk was that "the
United States is a liberal, left wing. progressive
counrry." The audience reacted with disbelief
when he made that statement, so he said it again
with strong conviction. He had ample evidence to
support his statement. For example, 154 million
people in the U.S. did not vote for Bush in the
"coup" of 2000. Every city on his book tour
(Olympia being the 45th) has been full of people
just like those in the CRe. His book "Stupid
White Men" has been number one on the New
York limes bestseller list for a month without
any mainstream publicity. "We are the majority
now, » Moore told the rapt listeners. "You are
not alone."
The United States, a conservative, right wing
country? Big lie. The people in power support
this image with their poUs, with Bush's supposed
90-percenr approval rating. with their massive

propaganda, a.k.a. mainstream media. They want to
"enhance your cynicism and despair." Well, Moore
said, Americans are tired of being told to shut up.
They're tired of feeling the pressure to be patriotic
to values they do not believe in, of being wary to
voice opinions that contradict what TV tells us
we all think.
He mocked the demonizing of bin Laden that
the U.S. has force-fed to the American people.
''The eeeeeeviiiUIlI bin Laden! Osaaaaamaaaaaa bin
Laaaaaadennnnn," he wailed, voice trembling in
terror. "Scaaaaaaaaryyyyy."
Moore had some questions he wants the U.S.
government to answer. One burning query: what
is the financial connection between the bin Laden
and Bush families? Immediately after the Sept.
II attacks, Bush's private plane flew around the
country and spirited members of the bin Laden
family to safety. Hundreds of other people are still
being detained by the INS for no reason. Why are
the family members of the man who supposedly
masterminded the tragedy of the World Trade
Centers not being grilled and interrogated by the
FBI for evidence? I guess oil runs thicker than
water.
Michael Moore challenged every single person in
the CRC to ·commit to run for office." Millions of
people in this ~untry are waiting for somebody to
make something happen. That somebody is YOU.
People are waiting for YOU to make it happen.
It will only happen when YOU realize that YOU
can make it happen.
"We've gotta do this, folks," Moore implored us.
"It's so important." It only takes a little action to
produce so much. He told inspirational tales from
his own life: running for city council at 18 (and being
elected), sponcaneously protesting against Ronald
Reagan honoring the memory of Nazi officers. He
also memioned another small action that sparked a
glorious Aame: Dec. I, 1955 "': one woman refuses
to leave her seat on the bus. "Look what happened!"
Every movement, every revolution starts with just
a few people, with just one small act. So come on.
Go do it. It's up to you.

Strong issues need strong actions (but not
violent ones) .
• [f you decide to fight, playing within the
rules ofIaw can work to your advantage.
• Run for public office, any public office.
There is a high chance you'll do a much better
job than some "stupid white male" or worse,
an intelligent female Republican (Run away!).
([ am still rooting for the non-stupid white
men myself.)
A few things happened that I was not
too proud of. First, the crowd gave the guy
who asked Michael about the $7,500 he was
making for that appearance a bad time. Some
yelled and gave him the- "trust fund" out-()fstate boo-crap. But it was a good question,
and Moore explained, he has to make a living
somehow and all the proceeds of his book went
to "causes" he supports. As a writer, I know
that while [ make $20,000 for a book deal, [
have to make that last until I can pound out
another book, and so on. Second. a woman
with a shaved head began to proselytize
about Feminist/PC issues. Some again booed,
because we were specifically asked not to use
the Q&A podium for "comments." Many
felt like we again were trapped in seminar,
listening to another issue we all agreed on.
Poor Mr. Moore looked beat at that point,
and he said, "[ can't argue with that." Our
final moment of selfishness came down to
the poor man being propped up at the book
table and at 11 :30 at night, signing a bunch of
books. He stayed and signed my best friend's
book in what looked like ''A Ruffles Potato
chip" signature. We should have just sent him
home and had Greg Porter sign our books. [
really wish it had leaked out about his birthday;
[ can bet that he would have had about 3,000
presents from the OIl' crowd.
Of course his book is very, relevant with
the May Day/Oly-police-line at the bridge
business. [ know [ am not going to make any
new friends with the May Day group. I know
some of them are responsible for twice-a-week

paychecks at Evergreen. All I can ask of them
is to remember what I learned from a speaker
at the wro protesrlriot of way-back-when. As
I stood thete, linked in a human barricade, a
speaker got on the P.A system and spoke to us.
We were asked if there were any of us who had
jobs we depended upon to survive waiting the
next day. We were asked if there were parents
of children who needed to be home with their
children tonight. We were then told to get out
of the city now and to go home and tell others
what we had seen. You see, there are some people
who can afford to be arrested. Their families will
come and will bail them out. They can afford
lawyers. There are some that are new to being
beaten up and will be more outraged then those
of us used to it. I hope you remember how your
actions affect others,
When you read this, whatever happened has
happened, and some of you, if arrested. will
forever burn a mark against the truer hearts of
Evergreen that will live in Oly the rest of their
lives. I hope that whatever you did will really
change the way people perceive our right to
freedom of speech. To wrap it up. I want to
feature some wisdom from the man who began
the Civil Rights movement. He lived by the
teaching:; of Jesus to the letter and undeIStood
the essence of non-violence. Martin Luther
King. Jr. said in regards to protest, "We must
not allow our creative protest to degenerate into
physical violence. Again ·and again, we must rise
to the majestic heights of meeting physical force
with soul force ." During the wro protest,
many of us non-violent protesters paid the
price for the juvenile actions of groups that
directly provoked and attacked the police. These
groups were separate but in concert began
the degeneration into the babies-getting-teargassed/rubber-bullet-shot-at-point-blank riot
that I survived. Mr. King said our goal with any
public action should be, "The end [result] is
reconciliation; the end is redemption; the end is
the creation of the beloved co mmunity "

A sitar and tabla duet will be performed on Friday and Sarurday, May 10 and
I I, at The Evergreen State College Recital Hall.
One of the performers at the 1.5-hour performance is Evergreen studenr
~ JO)1I1 Abrahams.
.
The performance is a juxtaposition of both tradilional and contemporary
,..
Northern I ndian classical music.
~
The performan ce will consist of rwo components. The first is a classical
.
raga and a lighter folk piece by Samuel Randhawa on sitar, accompanied on
tabla by John Abrahams. The seco nd is contemporary versions of Northern
Indian percussion, as represellted by th e musi ca l movement known as the "Asian
Underground. "
Asian underground is a musica l style which applies Indian classical
music to the Western li ve electronic sy nrhesis, The performance will
represent these two mediums wholly independelll of each other,
so thm rhrough stark co ntrast one ca n see rhe influences and
evolutions that these musics have undergone.
Samuel R'1Jldh awa is one of the UK 's top sitarists and is an
proponenr of the school of sitar devised by the great Vilayat
Khan, This style of instrumental music is unique in rlur
it heavil y absorbs th e richness of vocal music in India
and applies these to simr. Samuel began studying Illusi c
at the age of eight , an d has sin ce dedicated him self
to the study of No rthe rn Indian classical music in
Punjab, India.
"I am fortunate to be so close to great musicians who
with fresh inspirations keep an ancienr music alive," says
Randhawa. "I have to pracrice around eight hours a day
to gain any respect from my reachers, who have been
through extraordinary disc iplines themselves."
Student John Abrahams belongs to the Delhi gharana
school of tabla, a style and tradition of tabla known for
its emphasis on the clariry of the indi vidual so und. He
is a disciple of the tabla master Vishal Nagar, through
whom he was introduced to tab la and initiated into
discipleship, John has spent the previous two years
studying in I ndi a, and has undergone two inten sive
sessions in which he practiced for eight hours a day for
six months straight, all the while receiving constant
training and instruction from his teacher.
The concert is 1ll ,lde po ssible by donations from
TESC's Student Activities orga niza tion, the Presi dent's
Diversity fund . and an activities grant.

The b/uesy rock of Five for Fighting
by Jerry Cnlang
When I walked into the Showbox last Tuesday
for rhe Five for Fighting show, I believe I bumped
into John Ondrasik, the man behind the band
with the hockey-influenced moniker. I didn't know
it was Ondrasik at that time; I rea lized it was him
an hour later when he stepped on stage.
That's the problem with Five for Fighting. A
lot of people have heard the song "Superman, "
especially after the tragedies of9/11 . Yet a maj ority
of music listeners haven't heard much of the
band's other music, and even fewer know who
is in the band,
People's lack of knowledge abour the band was
evident as the Showbox was unbelievably empty
th at night. Nevertheless, the smal l turnour doesn't
indicate thar Ondrasik lacks talent. In fact, I
was looking forward to the band's performance
be ca use my friend Phil from D,C" who attended
the band's show at th (: 9:30 C lub, told me th at
th ey "rocked the house, "
Five for h ghtin g's music ca lls to mind the
mid -te mpo bluesy rock of The Wallflowers and
Counting Crows and the piano balladry of Elton
1/2
John , The entire set, including the encore, lasted
for abollt 60 minutes, Highlights include the uptempo rock tune of "America Town" and "Bloody
Mary, " during which Ondrasik invited two overly
zealous fans on stage. They were two women, both
blonde, possibly inebriated,
They danced around Ond ras ik, who wryly
interjected, ""Tough job, huh?"
My favorite moment was when Ond ras ik
performed "S uperman." The lights dimmed and
focused in on Ondrasik as he sat down in front of
his keyboards. When he announced the song, rhe
crowd erupted with boisterous cheers and screams.
As he played through the song, his facial exp ressions
conveyed a sense of sereniry and happiness and
a feeling of acco mpli shm ent. He knew he had
accomplished somcthing great that night. H e knew
he had played great musi c thar pleased thme who
showed up, H e wa, also gen uin ely thankful of
those who ca me to see him play.
As for those of us on the floor, we knew that we
were rhe lucky few who witnessed and listened ro
a great night of music.

Sandman Does What?
by ChriS Mu/ally
Chris Sand. a.k.a. Sandman. played about
20 songs to a small packed room at the Strand
last Saturday night.
.
Most of Sandman's songs were coherent
and poetic quickies that wrung laughter from
the audience. Even from the music snobs.
But one thing shut the audience up.
It was Chris Sand's last song. called
I'Gorilla."
At the end of the set, at the end of the
show, Sand set down with his guitar on a
•
plastic white chair.
He invited musician Jennifer Grady to
come up and bring a chair to play along
with him.
She brought her cello too.
And he joined her on the guitar.
What came forth was reminiscent of Lou
Reed singing «Venus in Furs." Or a Leonard
Cohen song - one of the ones you can cry
to.
The lyrics were dark and blue. And slow.
. 0 f"Oh's
.. adn
"Ah'"
San d sang a chorus string
s
'right in the territory of some of the most
emotive. saddest music of our time.
He reached back and moaned, and swayed
with his guitar.
UOH!" he screamed as the song peaked.
the cooper point journal
While some of the audience giggled
nervously to a song that probably wasn't
meant to be funny.
After the show. Sa.nd acknowledged that
"Gorilla" is .a unique song, removed from the
genre oflaughable feel-goods.
Sand describes how the song came
about.
"I woke up in the middle of the night,»
he says.
"And there were three visions dancing
in my head."
But instead of waiting till morning like
he usually does to jot an idea down, he
got up.
"I" decided to get up just as an, experiment, he says,
It was about four in the morning and he
wrote the song in about half an hour.
He said the lyrics describe the ongoing
horror he felt as he planned to marry a
person he knew he shouldn't marry.
He broke the engagement off eventually.
When asked ifhe would conrinue to write
songs like «Gorilla/ he said he would like
£0, but he would have to wake himself up at
four in the morning to do it.
So someone should buy Sand an alann

Internat ional , recently travel ed rhrough
O lympi a, spending two weeks w ith hi s

Durin g this tim e, the Grandmasrer gave

'Fo ur Directions' and its applications.
Immediately afrer the two week sem inar, The Evergreen Stare Co ll ege Bak
Shaol in Eagle Cl aw Kung Fu team competed in the PacWesr Tae Kwon Do
Association Martial Arts Championshi ps in
Spanaway, Washington . The team's spirits
were high , and rookies and veterans alike
were obviously ene rgized by rhe recent
instruction and direct inte raction with
the Grandmaster. Although Master Fu
departed just before the tournament, the
ream, under the direction of national coach
Sifu Dana Daniels, won 22 meda ls with
12 competitors.
The Choy Li Fut techniques that
the Grandmaster tra in ed his Evergreen
students on were evident in the competition,
especially in the hard-hitting point sparri ng
rings and the continuous sparring division.
The Southern Chinese style rechnique
stresses stable stances and powerful hand
techniques. From rhe Evergreen under belts
to the black belts, the stances
were firm and the punches
were devastating.
Although Choy Li Fut is
a Southern Ch inese style and
Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw is
primarily Northern, the two
are co nnected through the
Shaolin Temples. Choy Li
Fut was founded in 1836 by
Chan Heung, a well known
and highly skilled martial
artist of that period. Chan
Heung combined the teachin gs of his three masters to
form a new sys tem. Two of
Chan Heung's teache rs Yuen Woo, a famous boxer
from the legendary Shaolin
Temp le, and Li Yau-San, also
from the Shaolin Temp le were from Southern China.
His third master, the Shaolin
monk Choy Fok, was from
the North.
Thus, C han Heung combined the names of two of his
tcachers, Choy Fok and Li
Yau-San, and added Fur, the
Chinese word for Buddha.
to pay homage to his first teacher and the
Shaolin roots of the system. C hoy Li Fut,
like Bak Shaolin Eagle C law, is one of the
few kung fu styles that merges techniques
from both Northern and Southern Chinese
martial ans.
Master Fu, w ho alone is responsible
for building the international network of
in structors and schools of the Bak Shaolin
Eagle C law I nsti[Ute over the p ast 25
years, has mastered nearly every form of
Chinese martial arts that exists. He works
tirelessly to disseminate and promote the
vast knowledge he has acquired to all

THE FOOD SERVrCE FUNDING DTF WANTS YOUR COMMENTS
In 2000, a Food Service DTF was charged with identifying options for food services
at the college. The DTF looked 3t a variety of possibilities including continuing to
use private companies, using loca l businesses. contracting with SPSCC, or using a
self-operation modcl. The process included cxtenslve outreach to the community to
gain an understanding of the interests around food and the needs of the commumty.
Based on their researc h and feedback from the comm unity. the DTF recommended
continuing to use private food serv ice providers and a Request for Proposal was issued
[0 solicit bids fro m prospecti ve vendors. A contract was signed with Bon Appetit to
provide food se rvices on campus effective September 200 1. The college made c lear
that that they intend to sustain a partnership approach with its food service contractor.
The campus commun ity requested that the new food services ha\'c the following
goals:
• Provide quality food at market price,
• Have hours of operation and service leve ls to meet the needs of the community
• Increase the variety and quality of vegetarian, vegan and organic optio ns
• Offer mea l plans for Housi ng students on a voluntary basis
• Purchase products from loca l businesses/farms
• Participate in a compostinglrecyc ling project
• Prepare for faci lity renovations as needed
..

• Facilitate the development of student commumllcs as part of the re;tdentral bfe

This young man stopped a city bus until two people moved him. "Sorry!"
they said to the driver, then to the crowd: "Buses are good! " The
xylophonist returned to his spot on Capitol Way after the traffic passed.
Advantages are: These students get value for the cost; it provides a stable funding base;
it doesn't affect current students; it fosters community for incoming freshman; it reduces
the stress of transition to college; it provides students access to a balanced/nutritious
diet; student s can spend more time on educational pursuits by not spending time
purchasing and preparing food. Because other colleges require similar plans, freshman
students attending TESC would not be penalized in comparison.
Because enrollment in the "Freshman Experience Program" is voluntary, the students
can weigh the advantages and disadvantages and decide for themse lves.
Disadvantages: This option does not provide as high a level of funding as ~ome other
options; it does require a subset of the student population to participate in a food plan.
Included with thi s optio n the DTF is considering ha vi ng two pricing structures, one for
cas h sa les and a discounted price for meal plan partic ipants. Offering a discount for meal
plans should increase the o verall sa les volume and improve the profitability.
The DTF feels that as students become accustomed to using meal plans, the voluntary
participation rate will increase over time and improve the financial viability of th e
opera tion .
The DTF also di sc ussed the following options:
• Charge all students a food services facility fee . If the, fee were $ 1O/quarter, thIS would
ge nerate approximately $100,000 to the operation.
Bon Appetit. working in partnership with the college, has already met most of these
goals.
Ad vantages are: all stude nts share the cost; it does n't target anyone group; it would be
affordable for most students; it provides a stable funding base.
Under the current contract, the co llege pays Bon Appetit a management fee. All
sa les revenue in excess of expenses accrue to the col lege, and any deficit is also the
co llege' s respons ibil ity.
Disadvantages are: it is a new cost for students; th ey receive no direct benefit; some
students (evening/weekend/internship) would not have the same access to food services;
Th is year, the co ll ege did not sell the number of voluntary meal plans that was
needed to cover operating costs or provide funding for necessary long-term capital
improvements. A food service funding DTF was established with the following
charge: "to research and document all viable o ptio ns for a funding plan that would
create a sustai nable financial base for th e current program and provide revenue for
necessary lo ng-Ierm capital improvements."
Beginning In Fall 2002, the meal plans will be debit card on ly. This change was
made in response to comments from students not likin g the "all yo u can eat" plans
avai lable in 200 1-2002.
• Require all freshman students in Housing to purchase a meal plan ($750-$900 per
quarter). This would provide approximately $170,000 to the operations.
Advantages are: same as recommended o ption .
Di sadvantages are: it is directed at one group of students; it may be too expensive for
some; students are not encouraged to cook; most freshman students are payin g for a
room with kitchen facilities; students lose flexibility in meal planning and manag ing
food costs; it does not recognize differences in freshman students such as age or degree
of independence; it does not address individual needs such as dietary restrictions; it does
not foster community within an apartment.
Working in concert with Bo n Appelit , costs have been reduced and efforts made to
increase food sa les. If just these actions are taken, the operating 10 s to the college
next year is projected to be approxi mately $300,000. To address the potential loss we
first affirmed the work of the previous DTF, and then identified and discussed several
funding opti ons. None of these options alone so lve the funding problem in one year,
but would be a positive first step IOward this goal. Beyond these options , the college
wi ll continue with efforts to reduce costs and increase revenue.
• Require all Olympia based students to purchase a small meal plan. At $50 per quarter,
thi s would provide approximately $100,000 to the operation .
The DTF currentl y has a preference for the following option.
Members of the DTF will have a table set up in the CAB the week of May 6th to
discuss the various options, and hold an all campus forum on May 14th froni noon to
1:00 pm in the CAB.
• Require all Housing students enrolled in the "Freshman Experience Program:' to
participate in a meal plan ($750-$900 per quarter). ThIS would proVIde approxImately
$120,000 to the operation.
may 2, 2002
Advantages are: all students share the cost; students get value for the cost; it provides a
stable funding base; it introd uces all students to the food servi ce operation.
Disadvantages are: it is an additional cost for students; it provides a smaller funding
base; it would have a high administrative cost.
