to a memo posted ea rly last
month, ,the entrance doors in Phase I
of Housing (buildings A, B, C, and D)
sustained approximately $750 in dam age
during the fall and winter qu ~ rters of this
year.
Mu c h of this d a mage was a result of
students tampering with the locks so that
the doors w o uld open freely from th e
outside.
Some s tudents remain ad'a mant that
having th e entrance doors to these buildin gs lo c ked ha s a nega tive impact on the
community. In order fo r a resident o f one
building to visit one in another,the.y must
call in advance to have so meo ne open th e '
door for them . They (eel that this creates

A fire alarm went ofT in T dorm . . ..
The car.;se? Grease on the burner.
St range how it is that it's a lw ays
grease on the burner. Do ' people not
know how to clean a burner? It would
cut down on the massive . amount of
alarms.
May 8
6:34 a.m . A parked ca r was damaged near the Longho llse. It looks as
though the Keyed Avenger struck here
as he has many times to many cars
before. Maybe it happens in other
parking lots, but he strikes. And when
he does, he leaves hundreds of dollars
of damage to be repaired.
•
7:00 a.m. An altered parking pass
results in a vehicle boot.
1 1:45 p.m. A Volvo was pulled
ovet for failure to use the turn signal.
Before it stopped, the Volvo crossed
over the double yellow"line into the
opposite side of traffic. I t was also
noticed that his brake lights weren't
working. After he was stopped, the
driver admitted to swerving over the
line , but claimed that he only did it
beca use he was watching a car that was
tailgating him . It was soo n di scove red
that his license was suspended, and he
was taken into custody.
May 9
1: I 0 p.m. A bicycle was found near
th e wooded area off th e maintenance
and pedestrian parh on rhe Nurth si de
of the library.
11 :04 p.m. Si mpl e verbal abuse
against th e police results in so m ething
a li ttle more seve re after an assault on
a student takes place. The assailant ran
after striking someone and ignored
attempts by the police to have him
stop. He was chased to J dorm and ran
into another student, resulting in her
having her head hit against the side of
the building. After being taken into
custody, the assailant was searched
and w<\s fout1d to have marijuana and
markers on him . Markers ' Yes. See,
the markers were i'n colors of recent
graffiti, and were taken into custody
along with the marijuana.
May 10
11 :26 p.m . Two people were caught
with ,open containers of our good
friend, AI Co hol, uutside ofT dorm.
One was under age and the other was
21, which makes one MIP/C tonight.
The minor was searched and found to
have SIX other unopened conrainers
of alcohol on him. Where he put those
conra in ers is beyond my reasoning
... I didn't think that pants pockets
could get thaI' big. But they have to
be ; where else could the beer have
. been kept? The eight cans of beer were
dest royed and the case was forwarded
to Grievance.
May 11
12:38 a.m. Supermodels usually
don't date guys who live in the dirt.
(The Tick) Or in their cars, for that
matter. Now you're all probably thinking, "What do supermodels have to
do with this report?" Well, if you want
to date a supermodel, you shouldn't
sleep in your car; you should stay with
friends. This is exactly what the person
in this report should have been told:
"You shouldn't sleep in your car in F
Lot, then urinate on the ground." It
just asks for trouble. Sure, it's dark, and '
no one should be watching, but there
always is someone there, watching
you. Kinda creepy, huh?
1:00 a.m . O ne MIP occ urs outside
of U dorm on thi s fine evening. It
seems that there was a part y in T,
and two people were heading back
to their apartment, one 2 1 and th e
oth er not 21. They sta rted sc rea ming ,
drew attenrion to themselves, and then
BAM! MIP city, here we come. The
case was forwarded to Grievance, and
the co ntainers of beer were destroyed.
9:57 a.m. A fire alarm went off in
. .. Library 1116. Strange . Everyone
evac uated the building, and upon
earry, there w as nothing detected that
cou ld have logically ca used the alarm.
No smoke, no fire, nothing like that ,
just the incessant beeping of the fire
alarm. Keys were missing, so the alarm
went off for an hour! It's like an alarm
in A dorm. Except that it wasn't.
Maybe there's a mystery alarm puller
out there as well.
May 12
8:00 a.m. Another MIP, another
day it seems. Two students coming
from the beach trail are stopped by the
police because one was see mingly very
intoxicated, She was taken to Police
services and the case was forwarded
to Grievance,

The event, organized by students Rand y C orradin e a nd Allen Thomas , who are
Peer Suppo rr Sraff for First Peoples' Advisin g Se rvices, was mca nt to give students th e
opportunity to share their "talents".
Overall, the audience was trea ted to a wide variety of performances. Several
stud ents read original poems that they had co mposed .
One student, in orde r to make the audi ence feel more comforta ble, felt inclined to

Dear CPJ,
Thank you for printing the article on
racism last week. I found it one of the most
thought-provoking that I've read since I've
been at Evergreen.
On the issue of faculty deepening the
discussion on racism, the difficulty in my
opinion for white faculty is that they hold
the same unaware racist patterns as white
students. So in order for them to lead a deeper
discussion of racism, they will have had to
examine their own racist beliefs, habits and
patterns. And I don't mean simply to know
their historical facts on ~acist incidents, but
they need to have examined their own beliefs
about people of color. They are in the same
boat as students: they don't necessarily have
any more information on racism just because
they are faculty. Also, since this is such an
uncomfonable topic for us white people to
look at and get a handle on, it's not very
likely to have gotten done, by facul ty or
students. Th us it is ha'rd ro look to faculty
for leadership.
On a societal level. we do not have exam-
pies of white leaders ending their own racism,
and we whites have had the so-called luxury of
ignoring our racism. So unfortunately this has
led ro all white people carrying racist beliefs./
Yes, all white people have racist beliefs, even
us well-meaning liberal and radical folks here
on campus. We are born into racist societies,
and it's simply impossible to avoid racism's
subtle (and not subtle) yet overwhelming
pervasiveness. This does not mean we wanted
to be racist. I'm certain that given the choice
we would have chosen not to be racist. But
we didn't get a choice in the marrero One of
the results of living in a racist society is to
become racist. If you are given a bicycle with
a flat rire, you still have to repair the tire to
make the bike run properly, even though you
didn't cause the flat. We white people are in
the same position with racism : we inherited
a society that doesn't run properly, and to fix
it we need to end our racism. So what are we
going ro do about it?
I think part of ollr misconception about
racism is that we truly believe we are not
racist. Or another way of saying it is we have
no idea as white people what our racism looks
like. And we don't want to be racist so badly yourself Find things you can love about your

Players line up one by o ne and attempt
to throw the ball onto the roo f in a fashion
th at will make it extremely difficult for the

the thrower gets a strike. I f the ball hits the
ground the perso n ca tching gets a strike.
After three strikes, yo u're o ut!!!!
To complicate matters eve n more, there
are a number of o bstacles on the roof th at
add an element of chaos. In the ve ry front,
just past the gu tter in the middle lies the
C hocolate Socket, the m os t popular (and
also most vainly-sought) obstacle. An o ther
near the front is the C hili Dog, a quiet but
effective tool. In th e middle towa rd s th e

the motto o f ma ny of th e playe rs.

of roof ball is a co nsta n t. You bring
the ga me to th e roof." H e went on to
say th at what di stin guishes Evergreen
is the wide roof of the H CC, which
makes th e game more abo ut running;
whereas on most roofs there is a steeper
grade that makes the ga me more about
throwing.

The Red Ball Hits the Roof
\
A lot of people think that Mouse Trap
by Milton Bradley is the c raziest game
yo u'll eve r play. The impermeability of this
conviction has been challenged by a group
of Evergreen students who spontaneously
p ick up a red rubber ball and throw it on
the roof of the HCC.
The game is called roof ball, and it's
an imensely exciting game that demands
much from any person who wishes to take
parr in the thrills. "Roof ball is more than
just a physical sport. It requires an in depth imagination and creative use of your
physical body." Says John C idor, a regul ar
in the roof baJJ action.
Players line up one by one and arrempt
to throw the baJJ onto the roof in a fashion
that wiJJ make it extremely difficult for the
person behind them to catch it on it's way
down. If the ball is thrown over the roof
the thrower gets a strike. If the ball hits the
ground the person catching gets a strike.
After three strikes, you're out!!!!
To complicate marrers even more, there
are a number of obstacles on the roof that
add an element of chaos. In the very front,
just past the gurrer in the middle lies the
Chocolate Socket, the most popular (and
also most vainly-sought) obstacle. Anoth er
near the front is the Chili Dog, a quiet bllt
effective tool. In the middle towards the
left is Spicy Mustard. Its counterpart on
the right is a pair of pipes whose name is
cu rrently being debated upon . Some call
them the Salsa Brothers, others caJJ them
the Mario Brothers. T he battle over the
label threatens to create a rift in the roof
baJJ community.
There's a lot of sprinting involved because

An Unknown Legend's Sports Career Quietly Winds Down
by Robed Martindale
Down in the Arizona
dese rt, off the Coronado
Forest in Tucson, lives
an exceptional individual.
What makes this person so
extraordinary is that she
pitches fastpitch softball
con sistently better th a n
anyone before her.
The
University
of
Arizona's Jenni e Finch
pitched and won 60 con-
secutive games over a three-year span befo re number one
UCLA finally defeated her on April 7, 2002, 6-5 . This
60-game streak is an NCAA record. Finch's 2001 undefeated
season, 32-0, is also the bes t pe rfect seaso n in NCAA
history.
Last year, as a junio r, Finch was named natio nal player of
the year and won most valuable player honors for the regional
and Women's College World Series (WCWS) tournaments.
Arizona, with Finch on the mound for most of their games
during the WCWS, won the 2001 NCAA Softball National
Championship.
Rece ntly, the number two ranked Arizona Wild cats
came up to Seattle to play sixth ranked Washington Huskies
in a double-header. There were no TV cameras, no radio
broadcast, and even though 1,277 fans showed up to watch,
I was probably the closest thing to media there. Whatever
showed up in the local papers was probably written by
so meone affiliated with the university. Both games were
interesting, exciting, and played well, just as a series between
two top programs should be. The Huskies were able to
narrowly win both games, the first game by a score of 3-1
and the second one 3-2.
Finch played first base for the first game and had th e

what thi s means is that her t~ammates
fielded the ball poorly or threw th e ball
inaccurately which allowed the Huskies to

Origins of Asian
History Month
May is Asian Pacific American (APA) Heritage Month - a celebration ofAsians and
Pacific Islanders in the United States. In June 1977, Representatives Frank Horto~ (Ny)
and Norman Mtneta (CA) Introduced a House resolutlOrI that called upon the prmdent to
proclaim the first ten days ofMayas Asian/Pacific Heritage Week. The following month,
Senators Daniel Inollye and Spark Matsunaga introduced a similar bill in the Senate.
Both were pa.rsed. On October 5, 1978, President jimmy Carter signed a joint Resolution
designatilzg the annual celebration. In May 1990, the. holiday was expandedfllrther when
George H W Bush designated Mayas Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. May was
chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first japanese immigrants a the United
States in 1843. Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is celebrated with community
festilJals, governmi'llt-spollSored activities and educational activities for students. The
theme for 2002 is "Unity in Freedom. "
