Do the vice president shuffle:
who's who in
Evergreen's
senior staff
Sunshine
greets Musicians' Club
concert series
By Renata Rollins
When former vice president of finance
and administration Ann Daley left the college in October, she left a vacuum in the
office that wasn't permanently filled until
earlier this month.
The permanent person is John Hurley,
the new vice president of finance and
administration.
He
comes
to
Evergreen
w i t h thirteen years of
experience
' in a s i m i l a r
position at
South Puget
Sound Community College. As VP
of f i n a n c e
John Hurley, our new VP and adminof finance and adminis- i s t r a t i o n ,
tration.
he oversees
college facilities (construction and environmental health), computing, human
resources and the college's business
services.
Before Hurley arrived, Art Costantino
had been filling in. Now Costantino is
back in his old office as vice president
of student affairs. This means he's once
again responsible for student academic
and support services (things like academic advising and the career center),
housing, food service, campus police and
the health center.
While Costantino was subbing in the
finance and administration office, Phyllis
Lane took his place temporarily as vice
president of student affairs. During that
time she also kept her title of dean of students. Now that Costantino has returned,
she has gone back to being dean of student
academic and support services only, which
means she oversees things like academic
advising, first people's advising, the
career center, student activities, the sexual
assault prevention office, KAOS and the
child care center. She now reports directly
to Vice President Costantino.
So the vice presidents are once again
settled in. The college's two other vice
presidents have been in their current positions for at least a year. They are:
•
Don Bantz, vice president of
academics (A.K.A. "the provost")
Bantz took on this position a year ago

2005-2006 Student Trustee appointed:
Current Senior Coordinator of Student Activities Jane
Kaszynski appointed to the Board of Trustees
By Joe Jatcko
After reviewing the applications of four
Evergreen students to be next year's student
member on the college's Board of Trustees,
the Governor's Office has appointed graduate student Jane Kaszynski.
Kaszynski has been an active member
in
the
Evergreen
comm unity since
coming
here as an
undergrad.
During

the S&A
Board.
While completing her Master's degree in
Public and Non-Profit Administration, she
has served as the Senior Coordinator of the
Student Activities floor in the CAB.
The Student Trustee position, which
was first filled during the 1998-99
school year, is a yearlong position on the
Evergreen Board of Trustees, which is the
ultimate decision-making body on campus.
All members of the board are appointed by
the governor's office; the only difference
the Student Trustee position has from the
others is that it is a one-year term, whereas
the others are six-year terms.
Tom Mercado, Director of Student
Activities, describes Kaszynski's experiences as a major asset to her as the Student
Trustee. "She is someone who has already
been involved with Student Activities and
already has a lot of experience doing outreach," says Mercado.
The position was created in the spring
of 1998, when then Governor Gary Locke
signed a bill into law allowing a student at
each state college to have voting privileges
on each school's Board of Trustees.
Though the description of the Student
Trustee position is not officially to represent the student body at large, Kaszynski
admits that many people have that conception. She described herself as someone
who could make herself available to hear

The Gleaners Coalition:
sharing the harvest of
our community
By Barry Cannon
The Gleaners Coalition began its first
season on a fertile note, delivering flats
of onion starts to the Welfare Rights
Organizing Coalition (WROC) and farm
fresh eggs to the Thurston County Food
Bank. Kirsop Farm and Sharon Conboy
generously donated the starts and eggs.
The Gleaners Coalition developed
through work in the Local Knowledge
Program, in response to the growing
number of hungry and malnourished in
our community. The Thurston County
Food Bank reported 1000 more visits in
March 2005 than in March 2004. The
various state and federal Emergency Food
Programs offer very limited amounts of
the fresh fruits and vegetables that are
essential to a healthy diet.
The Gleaners Coalition organizes volunteers to gather nutritious donated food
for the hungry. The coalition plans to open
The Gleaners Cafe next year. The Gleaners
Cafe will serve exciting, affordable, locally
grown and produced, nutritious meals for
our entire community.
The Gleaners Coalition is currently
recruiting Volunteers, Donors and Summer
Coordinators.
After all of your finals are through,
your late nights of cramming and early
morning homework sessions completed,
you're going to need to cut loose. Aside
from the typical all night partying, there
is a new event this year to reward you for
a year of work and help you de-stress. It's
called Play Day.
Play Day is an Evergreen communitybased event that is put on by students for
students. Unlike Super Saturday, Play
Day will not be vendor-based, but we
will be featuring free and fun events like
a Bouncing Castle, an Ultimate Scavenger
Hunt and more full-fledged shenanigans.
Other features of Play Day will include
face painting, mask and button making, a
bubble blowing extravaganza booth, musical chairs, balloon toss, three legged race,
music, popcorn and oh so much more.
Play Day is on Satuday, June 4 from
noon to 8 p.m. in Red Square. Luckily, this

Busless in Red Square:
the latest news from the construction beat
By Renata Rollins
Intercity Transit won't be serving the
Library'Loop for a while.
The controversial construction on
Evergreen Parkway has created lengthy
traffic back-ups since its inception, but the
bus problems are new as of this week.
Now students wanting to take either
the #41 or the #48 bus off campus will
have to catch it at the dorm loop in lower
campus. Folks busing to campus will find
themselves let off by the college dorms.
This may stop as early as Saturday,
May 28, but there will be Intercity Transit
signs posted with updates.
In other construction news, the roundabout asphalt will be laid on Tuesday, May
31, and acting director of facilities Collin
Orr projects that the majority of the
roundabout construction will be done by
Wednesday, June 1.
If you have questions or comments
about the construction project, you can
call Orr at 867-6115.

Ask the editor: What was up Saddam on candid camera,
with that headline?
and the U.S. military
are still assholes
D e a r
editor: I felt
the
headline on the
article about
Aramark's
new campus
director was
inappropriate. Calling
him "the new face of evil" is biased,
unfair, irresponsible and mean. Why did
that headline appear?
—Paraphrase of a question received from
numerous people
Dear "Paraphrase":
Thanks for the question. I appreciate
your side of the argument, and I can see
how you reached that conclusion. I don't
agree, however, that putting "the new face
of evil" in the headline with the Aramark
article means the CPJ is calling the new
director "evil." It's certainly not what I or
the author intended.
Just so we're on the same page, the
headline in question read:
The newface of evil is ple'asant-looking:
Aramark's new campus director.
There were two things author R. Yazmin
Shah and I changed about the original article in order for that headline to run. When
shb turned it in, it had a similar headline,
although hers mentioned the new director
by name. I thought it was insensitive to
have the word "evil" in the same line as
someone's name, so we changed it to just
say his title.
The second change came in the first
paragraph. We wanted to give the article
the significance it deserved. To do so, we
put it in the context of what a few articles in
the CPJ have reported: that some students
are displaying outright hostility toward
the new food provider because Aramark
is, in their opinion, an evil corporation.
We rewrote the first paragraph so that it
would emphasize the daunting job that
Craig Ward has just taken on as the face
of the corporation.
Our hope and intent was that describing "the new face of evil" as "pleasant,"
both in the headline and the article, would
leave readers with the idea that Craig is
not a bad guy, no matter what you think
of his employer.
Ultimately, the headline was supposed
to be ironic and light-hearted, as personal
profile pieces often are. I regret that it
didn't work, and I offer my apology to
Craig.

Support small-scale
animal farms
By Kim-McNett
Factory
farms are a
disturbing
example of
the disconnection between
the consumer
and the source
of their food.
Only knowing
the price per pound of the meat or other
animal products is not being a conscious
customer. Labels don't tell the whole story.
It is important to know the places that your
food was raised in and the processes it went
through to reach your shopping cart. I am
writing to encourage students or anyone to
seek alternatives to factory-farmed meats
and animal products.
Growing up, my family and I raised
pigs, along with laying hens, bees, tree
fruits, berries and vegetables. We weren't
fully self-sustainable, but we did produce
a large quantity of what we ate. Building
a pen and fence, stirring the slop and carrying water every day after school, and
watching the slaughters taught me good
work ethics and to appreciate and treat my
food with respect. As animal products have
been and hopefully always will be part of
my diet, I now find it very important to
buy from small local farms.
Buying big-scale food, be it fruit, veggies, meat, soy, coffee or anything, lessens
the market opportunities for small farmers.
Importing food degrades quality, and often
there are exploited workers at the start of
the line. Ever track down the source of a
super market tomato? Soy is one of the
most genetically modified foods on the
market. Being conscious means looking
beyond the type of food to the source of
the food and the global impact it causes.
Purchasing organic, non-GMO, no-hor-
mone, local food encourages the market in
that direction. Small, sustainable farms can
become more numerous, more available
and cheaper. It promotes healthy environments: happier people, plants and animals,
and clean earth, air and water.
For alternatives to the super market, one
may find local, non-hormone cheese and
milk in bulk at the Co-op. This way, you
cut down on packaging as well, another
conscious effort to improve our market.
The organic farm sells eggs on Red Square;
how local can you get? And finally, the
farmer's market downtown offers a huge
selection of meats and other animal products, including shell fish, which you can
feel proud to purchase and eat. Whispering
Springs Farms (Rochester) offers certified
organic pasture raised beef, pork, lamb,
poultry and rabbit fresh at the market.
These farmers believe in caring for,
not exploiting, their animals. They choose
breeds that do well in this region. Their
animals live in the open air and sunshine;
the pigs can root around in the dirt and
minerals and they have no need for the
iron shots that are common in the factories.
Stewart Meats (McKenna) offer naturally
fed, fresh smoked sausage and jerky meats.
Johnson's Smokehouse and Sausage
Kitchen offers local meats, smoked in
E. Olympia, that contain no hormones
or antibiotics. Ever eaten ostrich? You
can find that there with no hormones too.
Or you can hit up the shell fish stand for
clams and oysters brought in fresh daily
from Shelton.
I encourage anyone who has not visited these stands to see what it feels like
to converse with the people that raised
your dinner. Remeniber, your dollar can
do anything from a tremendous amount of
bad to a tremendous amount of good, but
it is never neutral.

Recently
pictures were
released
of
Saddam
Hussein hanging out in his
prison
cell
in his underpants. Nothing
unusual there,
since he's just a prisoner now and I doubt
there's a great deal of air conditioning
where he's being held. Although it does
violate the Geneva Conventions—like
we haven't heard that phrase "violation of
Geneva..." before—and, at the very least,
Saddam's lawyer is going to sue.
Oddly enough, we've broken this particular law of the Geneva Conventions,
taking photos of prisoners and/or humiliating them in Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo
and a variety of other places, but there's
still no one to enforce the law. The managing editor, Graham Dudman, of The
Sun magazine that published the photos
told the BBC that "People seem to forget
that this is a man who is responsible for
the deaths of hundreds of thousands of
men, women and children and all that's
happened to him is someone has taken
his picture." He says that like it's meant
to justify what he's done. Someone broke
international law and all he seems to think
is: Saddam broke some laws too, so we
should be allowed to break a few against
him. What childish horseshit.
Dudman went on to repeat the rhetoric
of the right when he declared, "This is a
sort of modern-day Adolf Hitler. These
pictures are an extraordinary iconic news
image that will still be being looked at the
end of this century." As if these pictures
mean jack squat to history because they
are put in a humiliating light against some
dictator from the Middle East. Not to mention the fact that Saddam is anything but a
"modern-day Hitler," because I don't think
Hitler got the U.S. to give him weapons
to attack his own citizens, nor do I think
many of the citizens Hitler was killing
were rising up against his reign and had
to be killed because they were a threat.
Then again, maybe he means Hitler in
the sense that he murdered many of his own
citizens in harsh ways under execution for
dissenting against his rule. But wait, isn't
the U.S. holding thousands of Muslims
in concentration camps of their own in
Guantanamo without trial or evidence
while it tortures them and "accidentally"
kills those it goes too far with as well?
How is it that Saddam is a modern-day
Hitler but the U.S. isn't anywhere on this
guy's radar? My guess is that it isn't on his
radar because he's just an ignorant fuck,
but maybe I'm being too narrow minded
about this asshole's opinion.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military was "disappointed at the possibility that someone
responsible for the security, welfare and
detention of Saddam would take and provide these photos for public release" and
is supposedly going to aggressively investigate the matter. Well, hurrah, I'm sure
they'll find one soldier to scapegoat on just
like they did in Abu Ghraib, where only
seven soldiers were found to be involved
when obviously many more were.
Finally, President Bush shrugged off the
pictures as nothing more than a problem
to be solved when he said, "I don't think a
photo inspires murderers," but then again,
why would they inspire murders in Iraq?
Most of the insurgency is anti-Saddam and
already hates the U.S. for invading their
country, so what's one set of pictures going
to do to piss off these people? U.S. planes
are bombing their houses and their government has been taken over; like they really
give two shits about some fucking photo
in the papers of their former leader.
Captain Ignorant, Mr. Bush, ended off
his thoughts on the matter of the photos
inspiring murder in Iraq by stating, "I think
they're inspired by an ideology that's so
barbaric and backwards that it's hard for
many in the Western world to comprehend
how they think." Sure, all insurgents or
Iraqis are "barbaric" and "backwards,"
and that's why you don't understand them.
Right. Like you can't ask them yourselves
and realize all they want is you out of their
country, out of their region and out of their
goddamn business. It doesn't take a genius
to understand how they think or why they
fight, but then again, I suppose even the
highest of government officials are slower
than two-ton bricks in molasses, so I can't
expect them to get the drift.

Signs of Overdose
Another important factor is recognizing
the symptoms of an overdose. Symptoms
of a heroin overdose include but are not
limited to:
• muscle spasticity
• slow and labored breathing
• shallow breathing
• stopped breathing (some
times fatal within 2-4 hours)
• pinpoint pupils
• dry mouth
• cold and clammy skin
• tongue discoloration
• bluish colored fingernails and
lips
• spasms of the stomach and/or
intestinal tract
constipation
weak pulse
low blood pressure
drowsiness
disorientation
coma
delirium
The bottom line is that we can't ignore
the fact that there are drug users within our
community. Of course it doesn't look good
for our PR to have people shooting up in
the dorms, but they are. Instead of looking
at users as criminals, we should be thinking of ways to support them in treatment
programs and through other services the
community has to offer.
I commend the person who took the time
to learn about Narcan and its life-saving
potential. I also commend the person who
administered the Narcan to the overdosing
female. Narcan is a useful tool in helping
to prevent overdoses and, in my opinion,
shouldn't be criminalized. Although people
involved with the Narcan in this situation
received harsh consciences, I'm not sure
that, had 1 been in the situation, I would
have done things any differently. Some
of you may know that I am this year's
undergraduate graduation speaker. It is
an honor to be able to address my fellow
classmates at commencement. However,
I would gladly give up this opportunity
as well as my four-year education to save
someone's life.

guys? I'm asking because a lot of the songs
on the new record have multiple parts within
them. I'm wondering if someone comes in
with all of the parts, or does it all happen
organically, or what?
It varies from song to song. Some songs
came from old ideas, and we brought them
together with other old ideas and put them
together with new ones. By "ideas" I mean,
like, a melody or an idea for a structure.
Then there are other songs where Cameron
has written all of the parts on his computer,
and then he brings it to everybody. Then we
all together sort of arrange it when we're
all together—because we're there and we
can—we arrange instrumentation and then
we figure out how it sounds, and how we're
going to sing it. And then when we record it,
it's totally different again. When we record
it, we have ideas about bringing in a friend
to play key-tar, or like the musical saw or
double bass or something. So then the songwriting continues again. Then when we're
finished recording it we rearrange it again
so that we could get as much as what we've
done in the studio into the live setting. So it's
quite evolving. It's good that way, because
feel free to tell me. There's been some talk
in the blogosphere and things that music
like yours, The Fiery Furnaces, and other
bands that have different musical passages
in one song is a reflection of the new musical
technology like the iPod. Nowadays you can
shuffle through your IP odor your computer
and you can have thousands of different
genres, bands and what have you. A lot of
people don't even listen to entire songs, let
alone full albums. What do you think about
this—do you think that Architecture in
Helsinki reflects this or do you think that's
all a bunch of hooey?
That's really an interesting question, but
unless it's some sort of weird collective
consciousness thing that evolved simultaneously—I mean, it definitely was not an
intentional thing for us as a band to project
anything along that kind of aesthetic. I
think, in fact, that it's the reverse. We set
out to make a record from start to finish that
people would listen to as a record. And we
painstakingly went through how to track the
songs, and what songs to cut and what songs
to keep. It's quite an event for us to make an
album, and as music fans, as intense music
fans, [the album is] an important idea for

By Kip Arney
I called my mom on the phone to let her
know what had happened. Surprisingly, she
wasn't mad or anything. This is a woman
who got mad at me for missing the school
bus after school once and got mad when
I failed a geography practice test in sixth
grade that had no effect on my grade. But
this time, she was calm. 1 think she was
more confused about the fact that my hearing aid was broken, yet I was still talking on
the phone. Long story short, my hearing aid
has three positions: on, off and telephone.
The telephone option still worked, so I was
able to use my Safeway calling card to call
my mom. Anyhow, it was settled that I'd
have to ship my hearing aid back to Seattle,
where it would then be shipped off to who
knows where, and I'd get it back as soon
as it was ready. The bad part was that I still
had two weeks of class left before Spring
Break.
I'm not 100 percent deaf without my
hearing aid, but if you're outside a fivefoot radius of me and aren't talking louder
than usual, don't bother trying. Also, when
I wear headphones with the sound turned
up full, I can hear the noise, so my Phillips
headphones became my new best friend
and made the passing hours much easier
when sitting in my room.
But I couldn't sit in my room forever. I
had sent out an email to my faculty telling
them my situation, and they said I could
skip class until I could hear again if I
wanted to as long as I did the homework.
For some stupid reason I still tried going to
my physics class the very next day. Could
not have been a dumber idea. I was failing
the class to begin with, so I don't know why
I went. I basically sat at my lab table staring at the computer screen, dumbfounded,
trying to make a digital clock go from seven
to eight. Doing it with the ability to hear
was hard enough, but while deaf, impossible. I just got up in the middle of class
and left without telling my professor, which
later proved not to be unwise.
I took a page out of my first experience
in class by not showing up to any others.
My roommate had, by now, returned from
This summer

his weekend vacation and knew of my situation. He saw me come in and waited for
me to get on my computer before instant
messaging me about what happened in class.
And that became my way of communication, messaging and emails. My school had
a cool feature where anyone could send out
campus-wide emails to the entire student
body at once. I took advantage of this option
by letting people know of my situation. I
think 1 got a grand total of three responses
saying stupid stuff like, "If I can help in any
way, let me know." Sometimes I wonder if
people are really that sympathetic or just say
it to be nice.
Now, with me assuming that everyone
reads emails the very second they receive
it, I decided to risk walking outside again and
make my way to the student union building.
I'd never worked my eyes so hard. I was
paying attention to every person that walked
by, making sure that when they came by I
didn't ignore them. Some gave smiles, some
gave the "whassup chin raise" and some, I
could make out from their lips, said, "Hey,
how you doing?" and I would say "Good"
before going on my way.
I had passed phase one and was feeling
good until I crossed paths with Cathy. She
and I weren't the closest of friends to begin
with, but we still talked if we were by ourselves. She was at a bench that bordered the
walkway I was on, leading up to the cafe
where I was headed. I smiled as I passed
because, first of all, she was reading and
I didn't want to disturb her, and secondly,
as you know, I was in no position to have
a conversation. I guess Cathy didn't get an
email, but apparently she asked me how I
was doing and I ignored her. Not by choice,
of course. And I only know this because a
couple weeks later, when I could hear again,
1 learned via my roommate that this had happened. Talk about a bitch. Even after it had
happened and I could hear, I tried to explain
and apologize, but she would have nothing
of it and from that point on totally closed me
out of her life. Screw her, then.
As the days dragged on, I became more
comfortable until the voices kicked in. I'm
in no part exaggerating. Cut off sound for
two weeks and tell me you don't start hearing things. I began hearing random sounds

On Friday, May 13, Ricky Skaggs and
his fine band Kentucky Thunder brought
an evening of traditional bluegrass music
to a sold-out audience at the Washington
Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Olympia. Skaggs, a brilliant singer
and multi-instrumentalist, has been a key
participant in the traditional music scene
for over thirty years. As a teenager, he
played in the legendary Ralph Stanley's
band and later joined the highly influential groups the Country Gentleman and the
New South. In the 1980's, Skaggs achieved
tremendous success in commercial country
music but in recent years has returned to
his roots in traditional bluegrass, bringing
it to a broad audience.
Friday's concert was a treat for all who
attended and included rousing renditions
of standards as well as original material.

Airsoft: paintbal
without the mess
By John "Smith
At the high end of airsoft, one can get
weapons that fire heavy BBs at 400+
FPS; this, incidentally, makes them illegal
in Britain, where the muzzle energy limit
is 1 J. A Maruzen M1 Carbine or Digicon
Thompson-Center Contender each generate 1.7 J with 8mm BBs, which can easily
draw blood or knock out a tooth, to say
nothing of irreparable eye damage.
Although only the most powerful airsoft
guns present any serious danger, it is still
very easy to misuse the smaller ones, and
getting hit by one when not expecting it is
not a pleasant experience. Although great
fun in a controlled, private environment, it's
not a good idea to play with them in public
places, such as the Evergreen campus. For

Airsoft is the paintball of the Pacific
Rim. Originating in Japan, airsoft started
merely as pellet guns modeled on real steel
firearms. Since then, airsoft skirmishing
has become one of the most popular action
sports in Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Technically speaking, airsoft derives
from the fact that the pellets fired are plastic rather

Frolicking through the
flora and fauna: trail
running on campus
By Meredith Lane
The sun can't make up its mind whether
to hide or come out and play. The rain is
confused as to where and when and how
hard it's supposed to unleash its torrents
upon Olympia. And what was with that
lightening and thunder over the weekend?
The weather may be less stable than
Russia's economy, but it's doing wonders
for the rain forest in which our campus
resides. The
l a b y r i n t h of
t r a i l s across
the
1,000 +
acres
that
make up our
campusexceed
12 m i l e s of
terrain that,
according to
polls, most
students have
no idea exists,
and have never
taken the time
to explore.
Though
most of you
have probably
heard about the
n u d e beach,
it's u n l i k e l y
that you've
taken time to
investigate the 1,250 feet of coastline
where our campus meets the Puget Sound
at Eld Inlet. If you can stand a little mud
and muck. Evergreen is truly a runner's
paradise. In addition to the actual campus
coastline, the beaches are—for the most
part—public, rocky and easy to run on.
If relaxing is more what you do at the
beach, try running to get there. The two
easiest trails are the Beach Trail—aptly
named since it ends at the beach—and
the Organic Farm Trail.
The core part of the beach trail, from
start to finish, is just about 1.5 miles. It
goes from the back left corner of F Lot
down to the Olympia Community school.
It is not a loop. Returning to F Lot requires
doubling back, or going up the streets back
to Overhulse road. The road back up is
moderately steep and is a great strengthening cool down for your quads if you go
slowly and take deep steps. While running
or walking this trail, there are multiple
branches that can make it more difficult if
you so choose. The hardest by far is what
experienced trail runners refer to as "the
hill." It's what our soccer teams both use
as pre-season training. This part of the trail
is an extremely steep incline going down
to the beach and back. It branches off past
the meadow near the middle of the beach
trail. Even without forging new ground, the
main path is a fun, winding trail, without
any huge inclines or declines.
The Organic Farm trail is slightly less
intense, albeit about the same length. It
starts behind Lab I and II, with the closest parking spaces at the front of B Lot. It
doesn't have as many offshoots, but the
diversity of plant life makes up for it. It's
a great trail to run on a rainy day if you
want to stay dry. The Evergreen Canipus
is akin to a temperate rainforest in'that the
highest canopies tend to get the most water
while keeping the lower levels moist with
natural humidity. The trail ends, as the title
informs us, at the Organic Farm.
There are plenty of other trails on
campus to explore. You can go out on
your own, or pick up a trail guide from the
CRC on the second floor near the offices.
If you're new to running, or hiking, make
sure to remember a few things.
Stretch a little bit first, but don't over
do it. Stretching when you are done with a
run is more important, and usually forgotten. Most
injuries
occur not
because of
accidents
while runn i n g but
because of
poor flexibility.
Though
the wildlife probably won't
attack
you, grab
a buddy.
Thoughthe
woods are
patrolled,
not everyt h i n g can
be monitored. If
Image by Chelsea Baker
you see
something suspicious, it's always best to
have the security of another person with
you. If you must run alone, don't overdo
it. Paying attention to the signals your
body is giving you is key. Cramps can be
stretched out, but pain is something you
have to look for.
The trails are muddy this time of year.
Be careful when running on bridges or
walkways or through mud. Getting a new
pair of cross trainers covered with mud
doesn't matter as much as breaking or
spraining your ankle a mile into a trail.
Drink water. If your body isn't hydrated,
you won't get as much out of your run!
Dogs and other pets must be kept on
leashes. (No word yet from the administration if horses or other kinds of livestock
are allowed on the trails. I'm guessing
no.) If your pet leaves presents on the
trail, regardless of if they're organic or
not, make sure you clean them up so that
everyone can enjoy the environment sans
that special scent. No mountain bikes.
These are campus rules. Sorry, guys.
Runners and hikers only.
Last but not least, HAVE FUN! Just
because we're separated from everything
doesn't mean our campus doesn't have its
own special things that make it a fun and
unique place to attend college. Mother
Nature may get a little moody sometimes.
Big deal. We get the benefit of living in
the middle of a rainforest waiting to be
explored.
