Four Questions Fletcher
Ward Hears Quite a Lot
yet but I'm thinking about writing an
independe~lt contract?
"If you don't have anything yet, go to
the Academic Fair with a clear and concise
proposal. It's sort of the last chance to
approach a faculry to be your sponsor," said
Ward. But he doesn't recommend waiting
so long to start trying to write a contract,
and doesn't advise Freshman or Sophomores
to try it. "It can be complicated," he said.
success of Evergreen's interdisciplinary style
of teaching and learning is reflected by the
accomplishments of Evergreen alumni .
Evergreen, like UC Berkeley, has a long
tradition of srudent activism, and that aspect
contributes to the general negative view of
Evergreen students. However, two recent
events also prolonged the local disdain
towards Evergreen students.
For the 1999 commencement address,
Evergreen chose the con victed police
murderer and death row inmate Mumia
Abu-Jamal as the speaker, and the decision
was the subject of much controversy.
However, it is the Evergreen students'
participation in the annual May Day
demonstration that aggravates local residents
and perpetuates their contemptuous view
of Evergreen students. Although the college
doesn't sponsor May Day demonstrations,
srudents play an important and leading
role and the demonstrations usually disrupt
traffic for several hours, cause local businesses to lose money, and create some minor
properry damage.
According to the May 5th edition of
The Olympian, Clifford Olson, a local
resident, is vehemently against Evergreen
and his opinion epitomizes how local
residents feel about Evergreen srudents.
"What are they protesting? If they are
protesting capitalism-if it weren't for
capitalism, they wouldn't be in that damn
school. If their parents or grandparents
are paying for an education, well, I don't
see ,nude mud wrestling as getting an
education," Olson said.
So, for the duration of your stay at
Evergreen you will be known locally as
the rich, spoiled, whiny kid who has nothing better to do but protest things that
paradoxically enable you to pursue a college
ed ucation.

further opinion: now is the time
to get good at making your voice
heard. There are troubling trends
in the country- some are recurring
nightmares, others are newly sinister.
Our generation will be the recipients
of a polluted legacy; it is our blood
that will be shed in new wars; and it
is our minds that have been carefully
placated and knowingly unchallenged. We must solve our own
problems, and only we will know
how to do this. Use this venue, then,
to sharpen your tools of expression,
exercise your voice, and share your
opinions.
We have a detailed submissions
guide in this issue, and we will be
around campus for orientation week.

Voices of Color
by Sophall oag
Hi, my name is Sophal Long. I
am the Business Manager of the CPJ
and I would like to introduce a new
column to the Evergreen community.
It is called "Voices of Color." The
conception of this column came
about after I had several discussions
with many students and a few faculty
and staff.
Oftentimes , it is difficult for a
person of color to express their
opinions to the larger community for
fear of being ridiculed, ostracized
or reasons xyz. We often feel as if
we are not heard, as if nei ther our
opinions nor ideas are valued. We are
labeled as minorities, which directly
implies that our views are hOt with
the "majority," inhere ntly making us
infe rior in that respect.
1am half Chinese, 114 Cambodian
and 114 Vietnamese . As a person
of color I so metime s feel lo st at
Evergreen because of the lack of
diversity. Please do not be mistaken,
Evergreen is highly diverse in terms
of sex ual orientation, eating I.ifestyles , music preferences, etc. But
in terms of being culturally diverse,
Evergreen does not cut it. I mean ,
moving from Seattle to Olympia was
a complete culture shock for me.
Growing up, I was used to seeing
and interacting with a huge range of
people. Here, it is just not so.
I miss ,it and would like people to
relate and understand my situations,
not just be able to listen to them. I
do realize that I may be romanticizing the whole situation but I feel
that creating a column such as this
will not necessarily teach, but bring
about a little understanding to this
immediate community. I would like
to leave it at that and perhaps have
other students of color address their
experiences here in this column.
The column is designed to be a
place where students of color can
express their unique perspectives to
the community around them.
It is a place of learning. It is a
place of teaching. It is a place of
understanding.
We are looking for perspectives,
opinion pieces, personal narratives,
family histories, poems, academic
and social experiences at Evergreenanything that relates to your life. The
pieces do not necessarily have to be
related to Evergreen.
The sole purpose of the column is
to be a voice, a place of expression
and a place of sharing. Let it be
known that this column is not going
to be a place where " bas hing " is
permitted (unsubstantiated allegations towards members of the community, otherwise known as libel).
My person a l belief is that we,
as indi vidu als, cannot make sound
deci sions without first being educated. Therefore it is essential for
all members of the community to be
aware of the range of unique views
here at Evergreen. Students of color
have a voice in all sections of the
paper, but this column is exclusively
for students of color. There are a
few guidelines for submission to thi s
column. They are as fo llows:
1) Must be student of color.
2) The submission must be around
but no more than 700 words per
installation (it may be necessary to
use more installments for longer
submissions, or, print two at once if
they're shorter).
3) The submission must specifically state that this is for "Voices
of Color."
4) The deadline for submitting
all articles to the CPJ is Mondays
at 3 p.m.
5) The submission must have a
name and number where you can
be reached (for issues of accountability).
To submit, either email to
cpj@evergreen.edu, drop it off in
CAB 316 (it's on the 3rd floor of
the College Activities Building) or
call 867-6213.

Now Read This ...
According to the US Department of Justice. "college students are the
most vulnerable to rape during the first few weeks of their freshman and sophomore years" In fact, the first few days of the freshman year are the riskiest"
(Schwartz and DeKeseredy 1997). This statement is true of college campuses
across the country. The Evergreen State College is no different. While Evergreen
has an extremely unique learning environment, we still face the same cultural
and social issues as other colleges, including sexual violence.
Over 84% of all sexual assaults are perpetrated by someone the survivor
knows (acquaintance rape) and over 75% of all sexual assaults involve the use
of alcohol. It is imperative that we learn and practice ways to lower the risk of
sexual violence. It is even more imperative that we do not sexually violate other
people. When sexual violence does occur it is NEVER the fault of the survivor. It
is the responsibility of the person who chooses to violate another person's rights .
We all know it is against the law to be sexual with someone if that person says
"NO", tries to get away, or exhibits any other direct expression of refusing sexual
interaction . The law also states that it is illegal to use threats, alcohol. or any
other substance to coerce someone to be sexual. Along with the importance of
these laws, here at Evergreen we simply seek to respect each others' boundaries and our right to be safe.
There are many opportunities to learn about ending oppression in our
community--violence being the most extreme form of oppression . Come to
OSAP events to learn about personal safety and about building a community that
is empowering for everyone. Call for more information.
TESC Campus Police Services is available 24 hours. seven days a week at
867-6140. Please report emergencies and criminal behaviors (including sexual
violence) to Police Servic;:es immediately. Police Services will contact the Office
of Sexual Assault Prevention to assure that your medical, legal , and emotional
needs are met.

not just individual students, for the
purpose of "accountability," says Mercado.
"If it is an established group,
you know what their intentions are,
and where they can be found," Galloglyadds. This information comes
into play if property is vandalized or if
someone gets hurt, for example.
But Mercado and Gallogly say
they a~e not around to police any students. Both staff members are paid
through student fees, and they have
clear impressions about their roles.
Rebecca Gallogly, Mercado's assistant,
says her job is to be a "servant" for students. "We don't lead anything, ever,"
she states.
Gallogly just tries to get out
of students' ways so they can initiate
plans and experience personal success.
Gallogly says starting a skateboarding
group, getting a bowling alley built,
or even beginning "an underwater basket-weaving club" is entirely possible
for any motivated student. And she
can help students carry out the ideas.
But it all starts with their effort, she
says. She will help "nu,:£ure the seed,"
and with time studenrs can register for
student group status and receive S&A
Board funding.
But regarding the S&A Board
and jumping th rough hoops to get
funding, Mercado admits, "It's human
nature to ask, 'Wh;rc:'s in it for me?'"
He says it is a tough question
to answer how exactly the S&A Board
affects each individual student. "If
nothing' else," he says, "students pay a
fee and they have an opportunity to
do something about where that money
goes eac h year. "
To put things in perspective,
an Evergreen degree will cost each student a 4-year total of $1,472 in student
fees. Because most students who use
financial aid have to pay an average of
$130 a month back after they graduate, it may' take them a full year just to
payoff student fees alone.
Marla Skelley, Financial Aid
director, says the average undergradu. ate student accrues $12,0'00 dollars in
student loans, 12% of which is student
fees . Mercado does not think it is
the responsibility of every student to
come upstairs to the S&A Board and
demand how their student fees are
used. But he does say that students
have the right to participate in any way
possible.
By applying to work in a paid
position on the S&A board, joining
a studenr group, or starting a student
group of their own, students can take
control of how their money is spent.

It's in the cards, there's a
plan . Evergreen will have 1,200
more students, 60 more faculty,
and 25% more programs to choose
from. But that could be more than
10 years down the road. For now,
the school's just getting rigged with
the facility to keep up.
Meet the facility;
Underway, in that fencedoff, 160,000- square-foot lot near
the entrance to campus is Seminar
II. It will take some 30,000 tons
of concrete, and 33,200 more in reenforcement bar and cables, which
will strip through the cement like
bones and tendons, to make-up the
hefty part of the structure. The
work is slated to be completed by
November 2003. About 100 men
a day will have built it, and $44 million will have paid for its rise. When
finished, a cluster of 5 buildings,
each 3 or 4 stories high, will stand,
and mark, Evergreens largest, and
most expensive addition to date.
"So far we're on time and
in budget," said Michelle George,
Director of Facilities for Evergreen.
The structural innards of
each of the 5 buildings are
designed to host about 250 people,
and will be constructed to support
Evergreens academic system.
Seminar rooms and lecture halls
in adjacent spaces will allow for a
more sensible and fluid movement
between program sections.
"The building will be closely
matched to the needs of coordinated study so that the meeting
rooms and faculty offices are close
to each other," said Rob Knapp, an
Evergreen faculty.
"It's an interesting kind of
hidden problem," said Knapp. As
it is now momentum is lost packing
and unpacking, and going from
place to place, -he said. "But we
don't realize it because we're used
to it"
"It's the first building really
planned for Evergreen students
and faculty," said John Cushing,
the former Dean of Budget Space
and Equipment.
Beyond that, the cluster will
be used to address a common
lament among Evergreen students.
That is, for those enrolled in 1
full-time program, with just 1 peer ~
group to mingle with, it can be hard
to meet people.
"Part of that's evidenced by
the things we've heard students
say, and part by the difficulty of students forming things like any student government, or just having any
real student voice," said Cushing.
Students in different programs could be arranged to fit into
each wing of Seminar II by some
brand of demographic.
The 'how' isn't nailed down
yet, but administrators are considering grouping each wing with students from similar programs (environ mental sciences here, political
studies there) or by class standing.
"The idea is to create a
space where students can come
together and be united by something in common," said Cushing.
The goal to build such a
substantial addition was born 6
years ago, out of a plan to increase
enrollment to nearly SOOO by 2011 .
As it stands, with about
4000 students currently enrolled,
the college is running out of the
space the state would require in
order for administration to reach its
goal, said Cushing.
"We are at our limit. We do
not have the space they said we
needed in order to support 5000
people," he said.
"Seminar II is a necessary
part for this growth."

The Dating Revolution Manifesto
The state of dating in the world today
is pathetiC. Think for a second about
whether you even know people who
go on dates anymore . Probably the
answer is no. Dates today are awkward, formulaic .and commodified.
Of course people don't go on dates.
Dates carry expectations of sex,
romance and rampant consumerism .
Dating is a way of selling oneself, a
one-night shopping trip to test out the
fit of another person. In the current
discursive regime of dating YOll're not
there to actually have an authentic
interaction, to get to know another
human being-- you're there to test
them out like a pair of shoes, for their
suitability for sex and possible later
genuine interaction. To top it all off,
people aren't even allowed to date
people they think are interesting. We
are held subject to preexisting notions
such as age, race, gender, who is
"cool," who is sexy. This is neither

Or: how I ·leqrned to stop

Revolutionizing dating will take dating
back to what it should be. Dates will be
used to go beyond superficial acquaintanceship. Spending one-to-one time
with someone helps you get to know
who they truly are, not just what they're
projecting, or has been projected onto
them. It fosters individual connection
and deepens interaction and relationships. The Dating Revolution can
strength'en and 'expand communities
through individual webs of interaction,
breaking down artificial walls between
different groups of people through
personal and authentic individual
interaction . Once you get rid of the
rules about who you're supposed to
date, it opens up the possibilities for
inclusion in the other aspects of your
life. It is easy to be part of the Dating

you think is interesting, or just a lot of
fun . Chances are you already know

Don't "Dis" Disabilities
In the U.S., children with disabilities are
1. 75 times as likely to be sexually abused
and 2.09 as likely to be physically abused
than children of "normal" ability. These
statistics reflect the abuse that is fostered
by a system which attemps to devalue some
people to sub-human .
Abuse and subtle forms of prejudice are
com mon even in politically progressive
co mmunities. Evergreen and Olympia are
no exce ption. My friend Dave Griffiths and
I were at Last Word Books recently when
he said, "People wouldn't come here if there
was a sign on the door that read ' No Jews
Allowed"'. I agreed. Then Dave pointed to
the narrow staircase leading to the upper
level--the only way to reach the frequently
used meeting space. Those stairs, said Dave,
are a sign that says, "No Crips Allowed" .
Over Labor Day weekend (the U .S.
Government's illusionary token of a holiday,
as in not mayday), Jerry Lewis ran his
an nual telethon to raise money for people
with Muscular Dystrophy, Jerry typifies
the charitable/pity approach to disabilities,
seeing people with disabilities as less than,
or in need of, help from those with superior
life conditions. Most "normally" abled
people view people with di sabilities as a
charity case or, worse, a burden to society,
Challenging
any/all
forms
of
institutional/internalized oppression starts
by becoming an observer of how you
interact within systems of privilege. As a
person without disability, I fall into the
dominant or privileged social group. Since
I currently exist without a disability, I don't
h ave to deal with the same stigmas and
discrimination that people with disabilities
face.
For people without disabilities, observing
and challenging our patterns of abilism/
physicalism is the fir st necessary step
toward creating an inclusive community for
everyone regardless of "ability."
Pay attention to the way you feel
around people who don't fit in the social
"norm". If you are nondisabled, notice
your motive when you try to help someone
with a disability. Are doing it because it
makes you feel good, or did this person
request your assistance? It's always better to
presume competency and complexity when
dealing with anybody.
The language we use around disability
is another major player in the continued
dehumanization of people who happen
to have disabilities. This is illustrated.i n
a quote from "People First Language" by
Kathy Snow.
"And no one 'suffers from,' 'is afflicted
with,' or 'is a victim of' anything! Nor is
anyone wheelchair-bound. There are people
who use wheelchairs, nothing else. My son
is not "bound" by his wheelchair; he is free
to go where he wants!"
We can notice the way in which we
talk about disability, then challenging
and change the language that upholds th e
hegemony of "normal" and replace it with
appropriate terminology. Forget "blind as
a bat," say "visually impaired." If we take
on this task we can begi n to transfor m the
language of subjugation.
From blatant oppression to more
subtle forms of interna lized privledge,
systems of domin ance (rac ism , sexism ,
classism, heterosexism, ageism, and so on)
are overlapping and complex. The web of
oppression will keep thriving until members
of privileged groups address the problem
and take act ion .

2. Note THIS IS NOT HIGH
SCHOOL! Certain things are unacceptable
in college:
a. Not knowing how to use a computer
to do your homework.
b. Not knowing how to write a coherent .
sentence or essay.
c. Turning in work that's hand-written
on napkins or by interpretive dance.
d. Talking all the time in Seminar and
never listening to your classmates, or never
talking in Seminar. You can say "reduced
credit," can't you?
3. Do not treat your professor(s) like
crap, i.e. talking while they talk and rrying
to get credit for doing nothing but being
the class pain-in-the-ass. They have many
years on you and pretty much all professors
at Evergreen are darn serio us about what
they do.
4, Ask questio ns, such as "what is selfdetermination and where do I get some?"
or, " is beer before vodka or vodka before

By Erica Nelson
Evergreen is a weird place.
"Seminar" is used as a verb, paradigm is a commonly spoken word,
and you can get credit for a yearlong
art project to build a giant robotic
snail (well, I think you could). But
don't despair-once you get some
credits under your belt this strange
education will begin to make sense.
Take for instance the word "program." That's the word we Greeners
use to describe a class. But it's a
super-sized, multi-colored, 16-credit
class that includes an adopted (voluntary or otherwisefextended family.
If you are registered for a full
time, 16-credit program, you are
going to get to know your fellow
students and faculty in strange, new
ways. You will see their faces for
many hours a day, 4-5 times a week.
If you love your teacher(s) and your
peers this can be absolutely amazing.
If you don't get along the results are
frustrating and disappointing. There
is a saying here, "you don't take the
program, you take the teacher." This
is true. Tfiough program descriptions
are important, especially if you're
on a certain career track, if you don't
like the prqfessor but love the subject
you will probably end up disliking
the class. Which really sucks, 'cause
at Evergreen that class you don't
like is your whole quarter, maybe
even year! So choose your programs
wisely. They are big commitments.
At the Academic Fair it's crucial
to talk with faculty as much as you
can. After a year or two on campus

On Tuesday September 24th the College Recreation Center, lovingly known as the
CRC to the campus community, will host
an open house for new students to become
familiar with the facilities. The fun starts at
7:00 pm in the gym and will include fun ,
games, and , of course, recreation.
The open house will offer new students a chance to learn more about classes,
recreation programs, athletic teams, job
opportunities, facility use, and weekend outdoor trips hosted by The Outdoor Program
(TOP).
There will be two guided tours at
7:30 and 8:30 and the indoor climbing gym
will be open at 8:00. CRC staff and Evergreen athletic coaches will be on-hand to
answer questions.
Some of the activities planned for this
event include volleyball, badminton, basketball, racquetball, and, of course, the CRC
game room.
It will also be a good time for students to sign up for intramural sports beginning the nrst week of fall quarter. New to
the campus this year, students can sign up for
co-ed 3 on 3 basketball, co-ed flag football,
ultimate frisbee, kickball, soccer, and singles
and doubles ping pong tournaments.
For more information about the
CRC, intramural sports, or leisure education
program's check the CRC web site at

16. Take everything you learn and apply
to your life. Use this time to share stories,
blow off steam about your childhood issues,
cry, sing, dance, and listen to others stories.
Above all, listen to what other people teach
you. These' things will change you for the
rest of your life as an adult. And if you
just don't like it here, go away and come
back after two years of junior college, it's
much more fun.
What can you, as an Evergreen studeflt, do to change the
• negative reputation? Most importantly,
remember that actions speak louder
than words. Remember that dem- .
onstrations you decide to gartake
not only reflect you, but also
the.entire Evergreen student body.
Commit actions that will help to right
the injustices of the world, but also
actions that won't add fuel to the Evergreen-bashing bandwagon. So, before
you deCide to sit in front of a bus for
demonstrative purposes, think about
the years and years of good deeds
Evergreen students have to accom. plish before they can have that one
negative action stricken from the public
minds.
