On Saturday, January 25, more than 150
mourners gathered at a memorial service for
long- time Evergreen staff member Mike
Simmons. Simmons, 45, died of brain
cancer on Jan uary 16 after a four-year
struggle. He had worked in the Computer
Ce nter since 1987 and before that had been
a n Evergreen student. His wife Karen,
three stepc h ildren and six grandchildren
survive him .
So what about Mike)
The diversity of the crowd was one clue
that Mike wasn't just yo ur average G reen er.
His hmily, many from Lewis County, were
ther e. So were militar y co-wor kers of
h is wife. " Bikers" in their lea th ers joined
Grce ners with g reen hair. Former st udents
loo king ju st a tad mor e conservative.
Evergreen sta ff and fa culty. And Mike's
Ill oro rcycl e - a large Honda Valkyrie.
Mourners passed a vo tive ca ndle around
th e room and spoke of Mike. Memories
came pouring o lit. His love for his wife.
his motorcycle, music. and Evergreen. A
patient guy who always took the time to
help you. And always had a smile on his
face when he did . He was remembered
as student-centered, skilled, and smart.
" My hero. " An ardent union member.
"Soulmate." "Honest and real." "Courage".
"Mellow as hell." Intolerant of injustice.
"Hated things that wasted people's time."
Someone who firmly believed that technology belonged to e~eryone. "One of the
few peo ple who didn't think I was crazy
when I got my motorcycle permit at age
57." The guy that created the Computer
Center labs.
I spoke of Mike as a very practical guy
who also had a whimsical side.
"M ike was a very practi ca l guy. He
could fix computers , cars, motorcycles,
and logging equipment. Co uld co nfigure
soFtware and weld and rio carpentry
I\n o he got married by 3n El vis imper-
sonator. And he went miles out of his way
in the desert to visit Area 51, where the
UFOs were supposed to have landed."
If you don't recognize Mike from the
picture, that's understandable. Since cancer,
Mike had a shaved head. He was also larger.
His doctor told him to gain weight so he
wouldn't waste away during treatment,
but much to Mike's chagrin , his weight
gain stayed put. But it doesn't matter
which physical Mike you remember because
everyone remembers his "amazing" physical
presence. Everyone knew Mike by his walk,
recalled by various mourners as a "stride",
" lope, " "gallop," "saunter, " "strut, " and
"bounce." His laugh was also recalled
fondly.
Mike was a particular favorite of student
e mployees . Man y attended the service,
including ex-s tudents from Portland &
Seattle. Tributes have arrived via e-mail
from as far away 'as Maui and Brooklyn.
One fondl y remembered a bowling tourna-
ment that Mike had organized - and
paid for - berween rwo "rival" groups of
student employees. Here are some other
memories.
" Working with Mike seemed like an
extra 16 credits without the essays. "
Under his patient guidance, I learned
how to put a PC back together - I had
figured out how to take it apart all on
my own!"
_
" ... the same Hank Williams CD playing over and over and over till I knew the
damn thing by heart."
"I took myself awfully seriously at 18.
Craig Carlson taught me what it meant
to be a balanced student. Mike taught me
how to be a balanced employee. Mike's love
of nature and motorcycling tied with his
deep dedication to his job and his students
modeled to me how to do a good job at
work and at play. "
"Working in the computer center, you
help peo ple everyday, and so metimes help-

On Jan uary 8, Vice President for Student
Affairs, Art Cos tantin o, who oversees th e
po li ce, se nt an e- ma il to the Evergreen
comm unity informing it of the requ es t.

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and

in the SOP, are required to work under
problematic and dangerous constraints.
The limited arming constraints prevent the
pol ice officers From adequatel y protec ting
and serving th e community on a 24-hour
bas is," according to the letter.
Costantino then went -i nto a histo ry
of the debate and how Evergreen's policy
towards police came to be. Before 1992,
there was no formalized police department
on campus and the sc hool was required to
call on Thurston Co unty Sheriff's Office
to ha ndle issues as th ey arose. In 1989,
Labor & Industry (L&I) told the school
that by having such policies, it was creating
a n environment unsafe to public safety
-officers. Two years later, Evergreen hired an
outside firm to help implement the force.
In 1992, the Board Of Trustees adopted the
measures called for, whi ch included that
the on- campus force be required to attend
the same sort of training that normal police
officers would be required to arrend. But
at the time, neither the consu ltants nor the
Board called for arming of the police.
Berwee n th e initial time that the school
decided to retain everyday officers and
today, a string of events have occurred
making it necessary to bring up the question
again . Between 1992 and 1995 , violent
events continued to occur on campus and
a man was shot and killed in the CAB .
Luckily, others were not kill ed because of
an unarmed on-duty officer who was able
to disarm the killer. At that time and at
other times it would take armed Thurston
County officers up to 20 minutes to arrive
on campus. In 1995, Costantino called for
a review .in the issue and a survey among
students, faculty and staff. In the end, 484

"It amazes me still to this day that Mike
had one of th e most stressful jobs at th e
computer center, but it neve r showed . I
can't visualize him without a sm ile on his
face."
"He had a job that he liked, a great
bike, a great lady, and his priorities well

of a person who had a lot of options and
made the conscious choice to do something

"In a field dominated by men I never

"His love for places in Washington

on Street Activism
at Evergreen

Carnival, Evergreen's political arts
collective, is looking for a few good folks
who are interested in creative activism. We
need people to participate in street theatre.
puppet shows . a radical marching band
(complete with colorful thrift-sto re costumes
and political messages, of course,) and the
upcoming Spring Solstice Festival! Another
project we're working on thi s quarter is setting
up a screen-printing shop on campus. If any
of this sounds like fun to you. COME GET
INVOLVED! We have plenty of resources,
but we need new people and fresh ideas
to keep life interesting at Evergreen this
winter. (Wouldri't some radical marching
band performances in Red Square add a
little excitement to our short lives and lunch
hours ?)
Since medieval times , m any sects of
the C hri stian church, particularly Catholic,
have participated jn Carnival celebrations.
These community-based events typically
occur before Lent (a hol y time preceding
Easter when one must give up earthly desires
and be pious) , and permit people (rom every
class and rank to join in the fe sti vi tie s.
These celebrations include masks, cost um es,
jo~ers and fool s, mu s ic , d a nce. excessive
consumption oH ood and drink, and general
merriment. Ca rnival celebrations are mea nt
to contrast the seriousness of all other
political, religious and social ceremonies
through their festivity and inclusiveness;
everyday social hierarchies are seemingly
erased and eve n inv erted (servants rule
masters) during the short time these celebrations take place.
Through artistic satires, lower
classes used these celebrations as a way to
protest and parody social structures, power
and order. Therefore, the creation of Carnival
celebrations led to the emergence of a strong
"folk culture," as opposed to the "official
culture" of the time . This folk culture
has survived ; Carnival and Carnival-like
celebrations involving public participation
and coll ec tive ritual still happen in many
parts of the world, including right here at
Evergreen!
Carnival keeps office hours, kind
of like informal drop-in meetings, every
Monday from 5:30 to 6:30 in the Student
Activities office on the 3,d Aoor of the CAB
(we share Workstation I with EPIC). Come
talk to us' We also meet with EPIC and the
new info shop in a big happy meeting every
Wednesday at 4:00 in Library 3500. Don't
be shy, just drop by, dry your eyes, see the
sky, and tell no lie. Call x6 144 a nd leave us a
message, or em.ail us at carnival@riscup.nel.

Is it relevant how many students of color
we have at Evergreen? The statistic that
I would rather know about a college, is
the percentage of students who are openminded and knowledgeable of other world
cultures or actually proper representatives
of a foreign culture!
A couple times each week, a prospective
student will ask me about the cultural
diver s ity of our campus . It seems like
a simple question, but there are several
different reasons for wanting to know about
campus diversity. The most common reason
has to do with the classroom environment,
which at Evergreen is not only strengthened
by cultural diversity but also age-diversity
and students who are well traveled and
come with a positive, open- minded attitude
towards learning. The other reason for
srudents wanting to know about campus
diversity is usually on a superficia I level.
I will always ask prospective students and
parents to specify exactly what they are
interested in finding our about the cultural
diversity of Evergreen. The answer often is
''I'm not really sure. n Ih all situations I avoid
using statistics to explain cultural diversity
beca use I feel that it is something that, rather
than being measu red in qu antity, should be
only measured in quality. A student who
is ca tegorized as Caucasian can be just as
good of a foreign cultural representative as a
student who is categorized as Asian.
As far as the "Voices of Color" section
of the CPJ is concerned. I personally think
that it would be a great benefit to our
community if the title were changed to
"Voices of Diversity" to provide a supportive
forum for all voices and issues related to
age, racial, cultural, political, and sexual
identity. We may not be able to avoid
our subconscious habits of labeling other
people, but at least we can start by providing
a positive example for future generations.

Genocide Trail: A HoLocaust Un-spoken is
a ritual poetic drama seeking to re-dress the
true history of the .U nited States with regard
to the American Indian from Columbus to
the Redskins (football team). The American
Indian has been quite intentionally dehumanized in our consciousness, so that we
ca n avoid the thought of the un co nscionable "Genocide" on which our nation was
founded . This play will re-vi sit through
song, dance and poetic drama, the many
myths, stereorypes and ideologies filled with
half-truths and blatant lies to which we, as
a nation, have grown accustomed. Tickets

fee ls like, says Johnny Evans. Especially in a
class packed full of whites.
There arc 2,9 39 white s tud ents and
133 black student s at Evergreen's Olympia
ca mpu s, according to re sea rch As sociate
Laura Coghlan, who is in charge of track ing
enrollmenr numb ers a t Eve rgree n. That's
twenry rwo white students for eve ry black
stude nt. Similar odds ho ld tru e for other
ra cial m ino rities:
163 Asian America ns.
178 Hispanic Americans.
13 1 Native Americans.
(530 did not ide ntify th ei r er hniciry)
So m e students of color say th ey find
those odds intimidating. But th ey are o nl y
part of the problem .
Evan s says another part of the problem is
what many white students do when he ta lks
with th em in se minars about race.
They shi ft in th eir sears. They scowl.
T hey twist and turn. They cross their arm s.
They stiffen up. They loo k down at the
ground. And th ey often clam up - keeping
rheir co mm ents shorr an d abrupt.
" In the worst case sce nerio the se minar
ca n become really polarized," says Therese
Salib a , faculty. Saliba says race has been
a central topic in all of her programs at
Eve rgree n.
"[So m etim es ] studen ts of co lo r sit on
one side, and white students sit on th e
other," she says.
Evergreen seminars lack racial diversiry so
students of color get cornered into speaking
about personal issues only they alone can
speak about, says Saliba.
Students agree. "You're purring your self
on the line; you're in a dangerous position,"
says student Afsheen Fatemi . Fatemi is
Iranian.
"Here I am, the axis of evil," he says,
Johnny Eyans agrees with Fatemi that
you're in a dangerous position in seminar if
you are a student of color.
He says he was almost kicked out of
Evergreen by a woman who accused him of
intimidated her, He denies intimidating her,
and the charges didn't hold up in Evergreen
,
officials' eyes, but he says it is easy to see
him as a thug because he's a "big, muscular
black man."
Evans says he is frustrated the subject of
racism end s for all the white students when
the seminar ends. Beca use fo r Evans it just
keeps going.
" I deal with it daily," he says.
H e is co nsta ntly aware of how people
perceive him, he says.
One time he walked to an elevator on
campus where a couple of white wom en
stood waiting. As he approached he could see
them clutching their purses tighter. He was
wearing hi s backpack full ·of schoolbooks.
In semin ar, he is "just fuck ed" by his skin
co lor, he says.
Evans is ''fucked'' because he looks around
the class and realizes all of the w hite students
have expectations about minorities that
may be impossible to break. He says the
stud ents look like "deer in the headlights ,"
too ilervo us ro spea k. "And if [ get upset
then all of a sudd en the class shuts down ,"
Eva ns says. "Where so me peop le have the
tolerance for going through [seminars on
race], I don'r. "
"[ would call'my mo m after every seminar," says Lauren Tumbleso n , a s tudent
whos e mother is African American and
whose father is Cree Indian and Norwegian.
"And I really don't feel like anyone else
did that,"
Tumbleson said she called her mother
after many seminars for emorional support
and for someqne to calm down with, She
said some white students just walked out of
seminar and chatted over cigarettes about
their plans for the night, leaving the discussion behind. But she couldn't get seminar
out of her head.
According to Ana Lucia Rodriguez, a
student who was born and grew up in
Columbia, students of color also lack faculty
support because there are only a few faculty
of color at Evergreen,
Ironically, there is, proportionally, a
higher number of faculty of color on campus
than students of color. Out of 199 faculry
at Evergreen's Olympia campus, 37 are not
white, according to Laura Coghlan. Some
of Evergreen's faculry are inactive in seminars
on race , according to Rodriguez. Some
fa culty just sit back and ask questions in
se minars on race , says Rodriguez. They
don't speak or echo their own experience
about racism.
And often times white faculry don't have
experiences of racism ro speak from.
Al so , some faculry view the textbook as
more important than the subject according
to Quadra 'Ali, a student who was born in
Somalia. She says some faculry don't lay firm
enough ground rules or don't outline the
purpose of se minar before the di scussion
sta rts.
The assumption students should lead the
seminar doesn't work in discuss ions abou t
race, says Johnny Evans.
But at Evergreen no guidelines exist for
faculry to run seminars.
Every faculry has a different idea about
what seminar mean s, according to Nancy
Taylor, an Academic Dean who organizes
training for faculry.
Taylor says there is some " lore" about
how ro run a seminar. She says faculry at
Evergreen are not mandated to take training
in seminars on race, but sometimes the
subject of race seminars comes up in a rwoday workshop for new faculry.
Some professors have come up with their
own techniques for seminars on race.
Faculty Therese Saliba says she sometimes
invites students of color to speak first, Or to
talk first amongst themselves. But she tries
not to put anyone on the spot.
"A lot of the frustration" for students
of color "comes from a sense of isolation,"
Saliba says.
Because they are the only one in their
seminar, students of color get stereotyped.,
says Ana Lucia Rodriguez.
"You're perceived as an angry black
[person] saying the same old thing," she
says,

On th e simples t level, being an
anti-racist means so me o n e who is
against rac ism . If rac ism ~ bad, antiracist = good/bener. It is important
to m e as a white wom an to identify as
an anti- rac ist beca use it implies th at
I am m aking a clear choice to try to

an ac ti ve a nti - rac ist. This choi ce
co mes with a leve l of cO I11m i t~ en t
and res po nsibility to work for racial
jus ti ce that simply ident ifying as 'left'
or 'libera l' doesn't imply. The ter m
'a n [i-racis t' is cr iti ca l to arriculate
a clear opposition to raci s m- a n

Hope lS a
Drum
Part II: Affecting Change
by TOby Oulnn
Would we not find more security for our country if we
were not dependent on foreign oil by making the initial
investment in alternative energy sources? In fact, wouldn't
it benefit us to manufacture our own goo.ds , buy less, and
pay more for them - but in doing so provide jobs for our
brothers, our siste rs, an d our children in safe American work
environments? Or ca n we not make things in this country?
Are we incapable of producing for ourselves or producing a
surplus that we co uld trade in an even manner for imported
goods from our friends abroad? I believe we have, we can,
a nd we must redouble our efTorts, or else we will continue
down this trail leading us more and more towards a service
economy. Proud Americans, is that the future you want?
Fast food jobs, box store dead ends, corporate cubicles and
products made cheap from overseas factories in deplorable
working condi tio ns so th at you can buy as much as YOll can
with th e little that you got?
Do you feel overwhelm ed by this? Do you feel that yo u
ca n do nothin g? I too have felt that way; it is easy to when
this env iro nm ent, from everything we buy to everything we
eat, is so tainted. You can't win, so you continue. However,
there is one thing that we cannot forget . It is that we all
have a little wiggle room . We all have small movements
rhat we can make. You could write letters. You say 'no.' Ok,
you co uld make phone calls. Again you say 'no.' You could
have conversations, if only briefly, about your concerns with
those that you know. You insist 'no.' You could offer a smile
and lend a hand to those around you. 'Perhaps,' you say.
YOIl could change ar least one of your habits that perpetuates
this mess. 'You bet,' you nod.
Whatever it is that you feel comfortable doing to counter
the abuse that is being brought on you, I implore you to
do it. You need an entry point, and everyone's is different,
but it can be very small. It can even remain small, because
there is great power in the collaborative efTect of our actions,
the chain of dominos that your small piece kicks off. Was
the civil rights movement not primarily fueled by the small
movements of concerned citizens? Marrin Luther King rose
up as a statesman for the movement, but without the people
and their small movements (whatever they felt co mfortable
doing), he would have been one man standing alone. Gandhi
was a great man also, but if not for the people, he would
have been just another m an.
Now, imagine yourself in a crowded stadium. Whisper
'no more.' Picture everyone around you whispering the same.
Would not the volume of that whisper surprise everyone as
you smiled and looked around at each other? See everyo ne
saying a little louder, 'no more.' Would not the once small
whisper now transform to a clap that bounced from ear to
ear? We arc emboldened by the heroism of those that take
ri sks aro und us. Ri se to you r feet now. 'NO MORE' you all
yell . Does it not shake the very walls and sea ts you sit o n?
We are a powerful force. Start with a whisper if you must,
wiggle in the room you have, make small movements in
your life, whatever that means to you, because together we
can and mu st make a change. Eve ntually the planners mu st
set goals, create timelines, and harness our power to the
weighty wagon of this evolution. But first we must create an
environment in which those planners and statesman feel the
call and come out from where they lay in wait.
For now, never feel without power to effect change. Do
not be cowed by the thought that you are no Martin Luther
King. Change comes through the small movements that
we make. Those changes add up. And although history
records the great efforts of the statesman, it should note
more the great power of us all. Do you hear the beating of
the drum? It is your heart, pounding inside of you . Follow
it in anyway you can.
Olympia School District Bond Tuesday
bv,/Obn McGee
When you arrive on campus next Tuesday you may notice
that an election is going on in the Library Lobby. Vou may
wonder what's up; what's up is a Special Election with only
one question on the ballot - a capital improvements bond
for the Olympia School District.
What's a capital imprOVl!mmtl bond?
The state of Washington provides most of the money
for the operation of the schools, but very little funding to
either build or fLX them. School districts are responsible
for raisi ng that money on their own; yet they can't do it via
taxes, because the school board isn't allowed to raise taxes for
sc hools. Instead , they are required to ask the voters for the
money. That's why we're having this election.
We are asking citizens to raise their own property taxes
to improve our school buildings and facilities . A simple
majority won't be enough: 60% of them have to say yes.
Historically, Olympia citizens have been very generous
in supporting their schools, despite the fact that 70% of
them don't have children enrolled in the schools. They
value education and they love the children, In many other
communities in Washington, citizens have not supported
their schools as well.
What! thil bond for?
Most of the money (89%) will be spent at five schools:
Capital High School, Washington Middle School, Reeves
Middle School, Pioneer Elementary School, and Brown
Elementary School. Capital High School is the newest of
the buildings, built in 1975. The others were all built in
the 1960's. While not totally run down, they could all use
work. & you JRay have guessed, we teach differendy than
we did in the 1960's and this isn't always easy in a 1960s--era
classrooms. Capital and Washington are both overcrowded
and need more space. Many of you are younger than I am,
and have first-hand experience in attending overcrowded
schools, so you know what that's like. The bond money·will .
also be spent on improvements for other district facilities,
including fields.
What will this COlt?
This bond is requesting 76.6 million dollars, but taxpayers
don'r pay. that all at once. The way bonds are set up,
the money gets raised over a twenry-year period. The
increased tax rate will vary from year to year. Next year
it would be an increase of $0.75 per $1000. This means
that the owner of a $100,000 house would pay $75 more
in taxes next year.
How did ~ tkcitk?
A volunteer committee with 23 citizen members spent
more than a year studying this. They visited every school
in the district, and spent many hours conducting research
and having meetings to decide what improvements the
school board should request. These citizens come from all
parts of the school district and represented many different
viewpoints.
A Note About thl! Fi~lds
Some voters are concerned that we are asking for money
to improve fields and tracks. For some, this-co njures up
negative or stereotypical images of 'jocks,' etc. Most of these
fields are used heavily by P.E. classes, and by the community
for recreational sports, too. The field at Ingersoll Stadium is
an interesting case; because of its poor condition no one can
use it except for 'elite' athletes (varsity football and soccer
playe rs. ) If the field is improved, we can make it available
to the entire community. Additionally, so me of the stadium
improvements will address neighborhood concerns about
noise, lighting, and parking during games.
Who Can Vote
Anyone registered to vote in the Olympia School District
can vote in this election. Th is includes the city of Olympia
and several outlying areas, including the Evergreen campus.
If you're not sure, call the County Elections Department
at 786-5408.
How to Ll!am Mor~
Here's two web sites with more information:
The Olympia School Districtweb site has a 14-page description of the proposed bond at <http://kids.osd.wednet.edu/
media/informacion/capital_improvement. pdf>.
The School Disrricr is not allowed to campaign for
its bonds. A volunteer group called Olympia Citizens
for Schools does that.

I understa·n d that buildings aren't the whole story in
education. You can have a great experience in a crummy
building, or a bad experience ·ina bright shiny- building: ··l .
think, however, that you'll all agree thar you're more likely
to have a good experience if you're not constandy working
around defects in the buildings.
A communiry that cares about education and kids should
support education and kids. Kids can figure this out. I
hope you'll vote yes next Tuesday.

More TaH-Cuts
for the Rich
hv
!wFord
President Select George W. Bush and his merry men
are at it again, robbing from the poor to give to the
rich. The Bush Administration's most recent 'eco nomic
stimulus' proposal has come in the form of another tax
cut for the rich, namely an elimination of the tax on stoc k
dividends (D ividends are a portion of a corporation's
profits that are paid out to stockholders.).
Of course those from the 'Cheney School of
Economics' will object to this kind of 'class warfare,'
reminding us that around 54 percent of u.S . citizens
hold stock, so this dividend t ax break will benefit th e
m ajo rity of u .S. ci tizens. In addition to ignoring the
other half of the population, this claim ignores the fact
that the majority of this 54 percent hold their stock
in retirement acco unts, such as IRAs an d 40I(k)s, and
therefore will receive nothing from these tax cuts. But
don't think that this large group of folks holding stocks
in retirement accounts will be unaffected, si nce they
will still be subject to taxation when they remove their
funds from th ese accounts.
So we have two stories. One is th e story of the
wo rking class in which 90 percent of the population
either receives nothing or continues to pay taxes on their
dividend income. The other is the story of the ruling
class, in which the richest one percent of households
hold 53.2 percent of all shares (of those held directly
by individuals outside of retirement accounts,) In
addition, the top 10 percent who hold more than 90
percent of the shares will receive a hefty bonus just
for being rich.
What, then, are the Bush administration's justifications for this New Vear bonus for the rich? There are at
least two justifications that need to be clarified.
The first is an ethical claim: the dividend income tax
amounts to a 'double taxation.' The argument put forth
is that the corporation is taxed and then the individual
is taxed, adding up to a double taxation. In no way can
this claim of 'double taxation' be taken seriously. On the
one hand, corporations are distinct legal entities, which
receive certain privileges. This includes the protection
of individual stockholders who hold stock in companies
that are being sued for, let's say, dumping toxic waste in
rivers. On the other hand we don't hear many ethical
objections when workers are subject to 'triple' and
'quadruple' taxation in the form of federal income tax,
sales tax, and the like. That's because they need money
to fund thei r wars , both foreign and domestic.
A second justification put forth by the Bush team
is th at this tax cut will promote 'economic stimulus'
by creating new investment and therefore more jobs.
However, the connection between giving the rich more
money and the rich naturally using this money for jobs
is not so obvious. Giving rich people money doesn't
mean thar they will necessarily invest it in ways that
will create jobs. If anything, it is more likely that during
a time of recession/depression those that are .already
wealthy will either save their money or invest it in
non-productive activities, like speculating on currencies
or other forms of stock market gambling.
Acting in opposition to Robin Hood, this new
band of merry men continue to take from the poor by
denying access to basic rights such as health care and
education, while handing more money over to the rich
and building their defensive and offensive capabilities
in preparation for war.

Dear Ediror,
Dear Ediror,
I am pleading with the Olympia community to get involved
in sropping the war against Iraq. I know that there are already
a growing group of diligent individuals who have been hard at
work, organizing rallies, writing leners, participating in marches,
collecting signatures, talking with legislators and informing
the community, bur wide scale participation by the Olympia
community has yet ro happen. With a city full of progressive,
thoughtful, and energetic people, there is so much we can do.
I truly believe that our voices joined rogether as a united voice
for peace do maner and hope that the Olympia community will
see the importance in stopping the war against Iraq. This war
is about oil, greed and being right. It is not about protecting
innocent people in Iraq or about protecting our own country
from terrorism . If anything, a war with Iraq will unleash acts
of terrorism against our country as we go about creating hatred
and resentment.
I urge Olympians ro see that all our issues a re co nn ec red ro
the war wirh Iraq and the policies of our currenr gove rnment.
From women to rhe environmenr, rhe Bush adminisrration is
working ro undermine rhe social fabric of our sociery and our
consriturional and civil righrs. Please join together ro srop rhe
Bush Administrarion and this unnecessary war. I enCO\lrage
everyone ro call rhe Whire House at (202) 456-1111 berween
9-5 EST Monday- Friday and rell the president that you oppose
the war. Remember that one phone call equals 10-20 people
who don't call.
In addition, send your letters ro President George Bush, White
House, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20500. A
grassroots campaign is currenrly underway ro proresr rhe war in
Iraq. Ir is based on a campaign thar worked in the 1950's ro help
srop the US from going ra war wirh China. It may work again
raday. Place 112 cup uncooked rice (or for less postage so me grains
of rice) in a small plastic bag. Squeeze out excess air and seal the
bag. Wrap it in a piece of paper on which you have wrinen, "!fyour
enemies are hungry. feed them. Romans 12:20. Please send this rice to
rhe people of Iraq; do nor attack them ." Place the rice and piece of
paper in a letter size envelope, attach $1.06 in postage and mail ir
righr away ro President Bush . Please get involved, even so merhing
as simple as a phone call can make a differe nce.

Tripping on Reality

Life will get me. No question about
it. I'm on a nihilist tipping point at the
moment. I'm sure you all have hit a point
when it just seems like everything is falling
apart; nor so much politically, but in your
personal life. Well maybe it's just me, but
this is a LONG FREAKIN' point!
The deck of cards one is dealt is always
bad. Then one finds out in this game of life
that they've been had. What's life worth,
if there is no one to communicate with?

I am writing to address a grossly misleading statement in yo ur front page
article on tuition hikes Oan. 16 CPJ,) implicating an inverse relarionship between
ruition and the Libraty over a specific period of time. Your writer stated that while
"tuition has kept rising since the 1990s, the library stays closed longer. It was once
open 24 hours a day." In other words, while the Library has been getting more of
the student's money, we have been cutting back on our services.
This statement in no way reflects rhe reality of the situation.
Yes, the Library was 'once' open 24 hours a day. Back in 1972, when the
Library first opened, it was open 24 hrs a day because the doors were never
locked, people slept in their study rooms, and no one was ever made to leave.
At the same time, books were circulated without being checked out or tracked
in any way. Borh practices were discontinued wirhin the Library's first year
of operation .
The truth of the maner is that in the lasr 5 years, the Library has increased borh
hours and services, withom receivi ng increased staff support (we had a position
cut in Reference just last year,) or even now, for two yea rs running, a pay rai se.
(In facr, wirh rhe increase of sraff contribution for medical benefits, ['m actually
taking home ro my family more than $50 less per month thari I was lasr year. In
addition, last year I rook home less than the year befo re.)
In 2000 we increased our hours by opening ea rlier, and .i n 200 I we ou r
increased hours over Thanksgiving week. Last year Media Loan started opening
on Saturdays, and as of rhis year, we are now open regular hours the first week
of each quarter instead of closing early at 7:00pm rhat week. Extending hours
beyo nd thi s would require an increase of staffing, which we are less likely ro
see than a pay raise.
Besides increasing our hours, we continue to do more for less:
I. In 2001 rhe Library insrituted rhe Cascade system (which gave our students
access to all the state higher education institution libraries in Washington);
2. We also insralled network primers for rhe public terminal s in 200 I,
providing free printing and paper to the public at the Library's expense of up to
$400 and 140 reams of paper a month;
3 . In 2002 we brought the film collection up from rhe basement (makin g ir an
open, browsable collection and increasing film circulation by 200%);.
4. We added full desktop (Word , Excel, PowerPoint, Interner, etc. ) to the
public terminals last year, again, at no charge to users
5 . Installed a wireless system in the Library and started c hecki ng out
laptops last week
6. This summer Cascade will become Orca (a consortium of Washing ron and
Oregon higher education insti tutional libraries,) again doubling our avai lable
collections, and increasing our workload.
These are only new se rvices that directly affec t C ircu lation. Each department
within th e Library co uld add to the list.
All rhese addirional se rvices have been implemenred wirh a tora l sraff inc rease
i··n C ircularion of one quarte r position since rh e 1980s. Thar position was
paid for with monies thar had to be raken away from our In stitlltional Hiring
budget. So, in reality, C irculation has not gained anyth ing. We literally had
to purchase thi s quarrerly posirion by signifi ca ntl y weakening ou r abiliry to
hire non-work st udy students.
In the future, please make sure yo ur staff's statements are more hi sto ri cally
accurate.
Sincerely,

Outside of cigarette butts and car drippings

paper waste is the biggest shame at Evergreen.
Strangely enough, that's the way it's always
been since I first arrived here. The walls are
fuzzy with posters, the professors print out
reams of worksheets and extra readings, and
the library and lab primers are humming away
day and night. So, today I am going to teach
you how to stop paper waste at Evergreen, if
nor attempr to convince you how easy ir is to
stop using the bloody stuff at all. Thus I begin
a co nservation-based paper boycott.

* Before you type set your margins (under
File/Page Serup) at 0.5 ro 1 inch . Normally
they are set at 1.25 inches.
* Before you print anything chose (File/Print

chose (Prim) then use the pages function to

Then you can shrink th e rext and print only
what you need.
* Make sure you r printer is printing double

chose an additional option, that is to print (WO

(Properties) button, then look for the "Pages

* Creare archives of electronic documents,

pull it up on your compurer.

"Honey we ain't lookin' for any help with

sight. "Sorry," he said to me, "but we have all
the help we need," and th e door shut quickly
in from of me.
"Shoot!" I th ought , "I forgot to ask them
if I could jusr visir with their horses ." I paused
for a moment, looking at the "No Trespass ing"
sign, a nd then slipped s il e ntl y und er the
fence. A black and white horse, Ghost-a ngel,
immediately greeted m e as if he had bee n
expecti ng my visit. I rubb ed hi s nose and we
sang sofrly to one anoth er. Somewhere deep
inside those big black eyes, I saw him und er
a full moon. A woman was riding naked on
his back, praisin g th e glory of th e moon and
th e fertiliry of the earth. Though I kn ew in
the vision that this woman lived in a normal
house and by day worked a simple life, and
thar the horse took children on rides through
th e forest, I also und erstood their need for
thi s ritual ; rheir need to honor and embody
what can NEVER be ram ed. Then the vision
disso lved and aga in I was staring into the
deep black eyes of Ghost-angel. I picked so me
yummy weeds, and let him eat them fro m
my hand.
"ZAP'" White, yellow, red, black tlashed
before my eyes; Ligh tning Hew from just above
my lip, through my neck, shou lder, down my
arm and into the lips of Ghost-angel. When
I came to, I was ten feet back from the fence,
and the horses' were stampin g fervently. It took
Ille a moment to realize what had happened.
My lip had touched th e wire, which I now
reali zed was an electric fence.
I tou ched Illy trembling, burning li p and
cried a little. T hi s must feel so terrible fo r th e
anin13 ls. It felt li ke an un seen demon stole
my freedom and punished me for wanting to
realize my true nature. Is it jusr rhe anima ls

survival depends on domination and con trol
over th e wi Ids of Moth er LHt h)
As I visited more livestock throughour rhe
week, I realized that nearly everyo ne is using
electric fences. Just as most Americans, mosr
of the animals I visited seemed co mfortably
apathetic. In this I mean to say that it is the
hi gh degree of physical co mfort often leads to
an apathetic surrender of our own wi ld nature
which th en leads to a lack of honoring the wi ld
spirits of our plam and animal helpers.
T hi s experience has broughr to me many

Are modern humans modern or domesticated:
Were native people "wild"? What is my righl

Best Movies of2002
Personally, I've always thought that "ten best'; lists are pointless and frustrating. But since people are so obsessed with categorization, I acted on some
ancient urge imprinted in my very genes, compiled my memories, did my homework on the names and faces, and put one together. I am not an official
critic but I've been writing reviews for years and I ask that you don't doubt my judgment. even though I've seen a sweeping majority of this year's films.
there may have been a few which fell through the cracks.
I'm aware that some films that are in the Oscar race now haven't even been released yet. Being from Chicago, I had all the major ones and many of the hard to
find ones were available to me, which I sprung for each time I went back there. !twas a decent year for movies (if you rooted through the mega-plex crap), certainly
better than the previous few, anyway. There were tons of other delightful films that didn't make it and I'm sorry I can't include them all but I feel confident about
this list. I have broke the list in half and films 10-6 are printed herein. The top five will be in the next issue.
