What is it?
\
When you arrive at Evergreen fo r
the firs t time, it may seem daunting and
labyrinthine. In a few days , however, you
shou ld be ab le to navigate the camp us
wit hout much trouble. Ever helpful , we've
decided to give yo u a guide to some of the
most important locations in a Greener's
world.
The Library Building
Evergreen's library is onl y part of th is
building. The Computer Center, wh ich is
und ergo ing a remodel th is year and has
bee n moved to' the fourth 1100r, is located
here. There are also class rooms, admi ni strative offic es and art ga lleries. You can
borrow cameras and oth er equ ipm ent at

the first fl oor yo u can regi ster fo r classes ,
get acade mic advice and fin anc ial aid, pick
up your tinancia l aid checks and find out
things with yo ur student accou nt.

freely. The bookstore carries all of your
textbooks, use less impulse-buy items and,
most importantly, candy. On the third fl oor,
yo u' ll find the offices of KAOS and the
Stud ent Activities Center, which houses
a cornucopia of student groups, including
your fri end ly paper, the CP J.
CRC (College Recreation Center)
Here's yo ur place to sw im , work out,
and visit The Outdoor Program (TO r ),s
office to find out about fun outdoor activities. There is a rock-climbing wa ll , a variety of classes including ballet, tai chi chuan
and handwriting ana lysis, and some fairly
scuzzy showers. There 's also a sa una , but
watch out for random naked people.

in science classes, be prepared to spend
some time here. If you're in art classes,
check out the Arts Annex, located toward
the back of Lab I. It has studio spaces with
natural light, along with a metal shop, a
wood shop, and a place to do pottery and
other neat hands-on stuff.
Seminar II
Seminar II is new to th e campus.
Thi s building is es pecially difficult to
navi gate, due to the multiple complexes
within the building. The building features
state-of-the-art lecture hall s with brand
new audiovisual equipment. Seminar II
is a green building, which means that it
is designed to be ecologically friendly. It
has a ventilation system that allows air to
flow freely from the outdoors. It also has

HCC (Housing Community Center)
Located between the field and Housing,
the HCC contains every campus resident's
mailbox as well as the Corner, a grocery
store where you can pick up a quick snack
and some meal fixin's, and a laundry room .
Open mics are held here occasionally, and
the Infoshoppe office is housed next to the
Corner. There 's also a laundry room, but
the dryers have a habit of not really drying
a full load of clothing, and things have
gone missing from unattended baskets.
Watch your laundry and be patient.
The Organic Farm
Find the trail, which is located between
the Longhouse and Parking Lot B, and
stroll down to our farm, which features
a farmhou se, growing vegetables and a
hybrid chicken-duck creature waddling
among the real chickens. On Tuesdays and
Thursdays the farmers set up shop in front
of the library and sell the wonderful things
they grow, such as flowers, onions, cucumbers, and other vegetables and fruits. Be
sure to check out the Harvest Festival!
Seminar I
This building houses Police Services and
the Hea lth Center. Occasiona lly, you might
have a class here. Otherwi se, go here if yo u
are ill or need to get a hold of the police.
The EF International School of Engl ish
programs are also run out of here.

Every year multiple student groups unite to coordinate the largest student-run event
on campus: Synergy, the Sustainable Living Conference. Synergy is a four-day event
at The Evergreen State College. It is paid for by TESC student activities fees and
supported by many academic program s. The conference boasts 8 key notes and over
30 presentations. workshops, tours and panel di sc uss ions. It is organized by a diverse
coalition of stud en ts in a co ll ect ive effort to create a ho li stic learning expe ri ence and a
mode l for a more sustainable world.
We need your help to coordinate the 5'h annual Sy nergy conference.
We believe it is vital to look at approaches to sustainability by integrating culture,
eco logy, design, agricu lture and soc ia l justice, themes that have conventionall y been
looked at in iso lation. By recognizing the interconnectedness of these iss ues, and indeed
Iife, we ca n work beyond our individual interests to create a vi sion, and ultimate ly a
modc l, of susta inability.
If yo u are interested in any of these iss ues or want to contribute to other interests,

Long distance relationships:
how to keep your love alive
By Katie Harmoney
College is
a time when
we are free to
exp lore new
ideas , meet
new peop le
and do some
really moronic
things. In fact,
'---""::"';;'"'--' if you donTdo
so me moron ic things during yo ur college
yea rs, you're probab ly an anomaly. Even
so, there are those aillong us who might be
se parated from a signi ficant other for the
first time ever. Maybe yo u wa nt to try some
time apart. Maybe, though, yo u're one of
those people who wi shes to embark on a
strange, wonderful and sometimes horrible
journey otherwi se known as the long-distance relationship. Yes, it'll be hard, but
it can be done. Without further adie u or
ve rbosity, I am pleased to present a few
simple rules for surviving long di stance
relat ionships.
One : You're going to mi ss each other
lik e mad. Just get used to the idea and
rea li ze that you' ll be spendi ng a lot of
tim e on the phone. This mean s that you' ll
either need a decent wad or cas h to drop
on long distance or you ' ll have to find a
more cost-effective option. May I ex tol
the values of phone cards and ce ll phone
plans? Most ce ll phone companies have a
Criends-and-family opt ion that allows you
to ca ll certain people for free ; others don't
charge long distance.
Two: Rea l ize that, a Ithough you're
committed to each other, you' re going to
want to do normal, stupid college things.
Your significant other may want to go out
for sports, while you may want to play
video games with a ga min g group on
Saturday nights. That said , you'd have
to find a time that is amenable to both
of you for phone conversations. Sunday
nights usually work.
Three: Attempt to visit each other.
This is easier if your significant other
lives in the same state. If you have a car,
yo u're especially lucky. For the rest of
us, Greyhound buses make a fairly cheap
alternative, especially if you sp lit the cost
of bus tickets and take turns visiting each
other.
Four: Try your best not to become one
of those simpering idiots who talks about
their significant other all the time. This is
really har\:! to do. I lived apart from my
boy for three years. It is easy to talk about
them all the time. Don 't. It'll just drive
potential friends away from you and make
you feel lonelier.
Five: Do not hide your feelings and irritations from each other. If something is on
your mind, tell them, even if it means your
happy conversation turns into one where
someone is crying. Bottling things up will
just harm your relationship. Especially in
long di stance relationships , hon esty is
important.
Six: I have two words for you : platonic
girl friend s/boyfri ends. Make some really
nice friends, which son of comes along
with the whole co llege thing, and then date
them. By date, I mean go out to dinner,
watch wacky TV shows, emotionally support one another'. Even hold hands and hug
if yo u want. Physical contact is important,
as is emotional closeness. "Dating" yo ur
friends won 't be the sa me as dating yo ur
significant other, but it will still be good.
Seve n: Thi s last rule is optional,
dependent on you r bel iefs. Personally, I
found that sexual intimacy made it easier
to maintain my long distance relationship
because I knew what I was holding out
for. That said, don't just run ofCand have
sex because I told you to. That's just sill y.
Real ize, though , that some sort of sha red
intimacy may make see ing each other that
much better. Maybe you just ki ss, maybe
you go all the way, maybe you dress up
like pol icemen and hookers and go out to
dance clubs. Find something spec ial to
share with one another and then do it. If
it's sex, use protection.
If thi s so unds liRe too much work, then
do so me se riou s thinkin g. Maybe you
aren't ready for a long distance relationship, or maybe it simply does not appeal
to you. It is my personal experience that I
was able to get in enough trouble during
my first three years of co llege without
having my boyfriend around. If yo u think
you'll feel like your college experience
was cheapened, then don 't continue your
relationshi p.

Animal liberation,
human liberation
By Sam Goldsmith
Ani m a I
rights are all
about compassionate,
moral
and
ethical living.
Vegetarianism
is a small way
to take ad van- - tage of the
inherent privileges we Americans share,
to take a stand and tight for social change.
At the Evergreen Animal Rights Network
(EARN), we .a re dedicated to ending
animal abuse and exp loitation for human
use, with the goal of promoting justice.
I cut animal products from my diet
during my freshman year of college, just
about three years ago. The more I studied, the more distressed I felt by corporate
globalization, environmental degradation
and human rights abuses. I wanted justice:
I stopped buying clothes made in sweatshops; started riding the bus instead of
driving; I stopped over-consum ing; and
started reading. What I learned about
animal rights changed my life.
We all make moral choices every
minute of every day, though we are ali enated to such a degree that many of them
are not apparent to us. If I eat meat, dairy
or eggs, I have made a moral choice-a
moral choice with real consequences. IfI
truly have an interest in making the world
a more just place, it is precisely these
choices whlch I must begin to evaluate.
A common misconception is that buying
free-range animal products means the
animals were treated humanely, but these '
labels can be misleading. Most free-range
animals are sti II mutilated and forced to
endure long trips to slaughterhouses without food or water. All of them have their
lives violently cut short, and all are denied
most of their natural behaviors.
The USDA requires that free-range
animals have access to outdoor areas,
but there is no provision for how long
they must spend or how much room they
must have outside. The Associated Press

The sex is always Greener
By Erin Rashbaum
Woo hoo!

are in the
bedroom
'----' with the door
closed! You're at Evergreen now and
can talk to people about anything from
sex toys to whether come smells like
bleach or pancake batter! I welcome
you and would like to guide you
through so me basic aspects of sex uality at Evergree n. I write articles on
a weekly basis for the Coo per Point
Journal. Name's E rin Rashbaum:
twenty-one , bi se xual and not easi Iy
e mbarrassed. I've written about how
to find the g-spo t, how to deep-throat
and the best ways to try bonda ge, as
well as a ll sorts of lubri cat ion , contraception and disease prevention.
Eve rgreen ma y seem huge now,
but in a few month s yo u' ll find that
there won ' t be much anonymity.
This sc hoo l has approximately 3.5
th ousand s tud e nts. That 's probably
twice th e size of your high sc hool,
but o ne-tenth the size o f an average
state universi ty. Evergreen 's size can
comp Iicate sex ua Iity, particu larly if
yo u are living o n campus. Think of
it as hi gh sc hool with people who
li sten to better music , smoke a lot
of pot, know what 's going on in the
world and live within a quarter-mile of
each other. If you hook up with someone, you ' re gonna see them around.
A small sex ual community can also feel
incestuous at times. It's not abnormal to
date a girl who has slept with your best
friend and dated your neighbor, whi le
yo u' ve had a huge crush on her roommate and boned her enemy. This may
seem awkward at first, but it's hard to
avoid. A big downside this close-knit
'sex uality is that if one person has a
sexua ll y-transmitted infection (ST I) ,
it ' ll spread, so COVER UP! You can
get latex love packages-yes, that's
really what they're called-at the
health center and never have to buy
another condom, so there's no excuse.
Yes, I know sex feels better without a
condom. If you're monogamous with
someone and have both been tested
(which is also free for students), you
cou ld use a less-numbing form of protection . Planned Parenthood, located
downtown at 402 Legion Way,
can issue several different forms
of birth control , free of charge.
Don 't get me wrong- Evergreen is
not a particularly promiscuous school.
I was actually quite surprised when I
came here last year to realize how
many people began college as virgins
oronly having minimal sexual experience . The kids here aren't necessarily
the I'm gonna wait 'til marriage or
! 'm gonna wait for Jesus folks. They
just hadn't done it yet. If you haven 't,
reported that the USDA's regulations don't
" require the birds to actually spend time
outdoors, only to have access." An eyewitness revealed that on a farm advertising that
its hens were raised in a "natural setting,"
the birds were actually crammed "wall to
wall--6,800 chickens with one rooster for
every hundred hens. They never set foot
outside." (from www.goveg.com)
During my time with EARN, J want to
educate the Evergreen community about
animal rights and attempt to demystify
you're not alone.
There tend to be many "flaccid"
encounters earl y on amongst freshmen
living on campus, You might sleep in
the same bed with someone and not go
beyond a peck and a back rub . Come
winter however, when it's too gloomy
to go outside, things tend to heat up in
the bedroom. As tragic as it may
be, the under-twenty-one crowd is
lacking in downtown entertainment
options. Every bar, club and even the
majority of concerts are only open
to those of drinking age. You'll be
doing a lot of hanging out in peopl e's
dorm rooms smoking pot & drinking any alcohol you can salvage.
Hey, don ' t be discouraged. Trust
me , you can have a lot of fun here .
Now for a few friendly s uggest ions:
-Be tolerant of different sex ual
preferences. Many people here are not
embarrassed to call themselves slutty,
asexual or pansexual. Try not to make
assumptions-the effeminate guy in
tight jeans may be straight and simply
comfortable enough in his sexuality
that he doesn't fee l the need to tlaunt
hi s manliness.
-Be wary of dating within your
building . You ' ll still have to see
~hese people da i Iyonce the romance
IS gone.
-The walls are thi n, so keep it down.
If you'll be boning, move your bed
away from the wa ll .
-Most co ll ege relationships end.
You don 't want a bitte r boyfriend to
have the keys to yo ur room , car, chastity belt, etc.
-Colorful condoms tend to break
more eas il y than plain ones . Just be
careful and use a water-based lubricant.
-People here are used to discussing
things in seminar style. This can range
from the Ili ad to Iraq to Irene, the blow
job queen. These things are said; they
just aren ' t called gossip.
-Crabs aren ' t the only parasites you
have to look out for-beware of bed
bugs and scabies in the dorms .
-Don 't date/sleep with people in
your seminar. Once the class ends,
if you're still into eac h other, then go
for it.
-People don 't care as much about
your sex life as you might think,
-There's usually someone who will
hook up with you.
-Forthe love of Pete, GET TESTED
EVERY SIX MONTHS or after a ny
risky activity.
Now go forth and conquer. you
pirates, you! I wish you good luck,
good health, good evals and good
lovin'!

If you've encountered a CP J kid yet,
you probably heard her call the CP J a
"Iearning lab"-a place where students can
corne and practice the skills needed to put
out a weekly newspaper. The name might
sound a little funny, but it 's completely
fitting . The CPJ has incredible resources:
books and journals about the practice of
reporting, editing, writing, page design and
newsroom leadership; computers and software that top those at the newspapers I've
worked at (even better than The Oregonian
in Portland, I hear); and an advisor with
years in the field who stays current with
what journalists today are talking about. I
used all of these resources during my years
at the CPJ.
But the students that make up the CP J
organization taught me the things you can't
learn in a journalism class or a trade journal. It's a c1i.che amongst journalists that

The Cooper Point
Journal is not a
traditional newspaper
The Cooper Point Journal serves as a unique forum for Eve rgree n students.
Any student can contribute content to the newspaper, and participate in its
production . In fact. submissions from st ud ent s have first priority when it
comes to what we print. At traditional newspapers, the staff generates all of
the content, and decides the direction and tone of the paper. The CPJ is not
a traditional newspaper. The Evergreen community ge n erates.t he content of
the CPJ, and the views expressed week to week are as myriad as the stude nt
population.
Any Evergreen student
can contribute
to any aspect of
the newspaper
From drawing a comic to designing a page, you can be involved with the
CPJ on any level. Even something as simple as contributing an article is an
opportunity to share your voice and he lp others be heard. You can se nd in
an article bye-mail, and be a part of the CP.! without leaving your room. Or,
you can bring a photo up to the office a nd talk to a sec tio n coordinator or the
editor about your vision for how it s h o uld look in the paper. [fyou'd [ike to
write but need an idea, yo u can come to a content mee ting on Monday night.
If you have something to say about an issue of the CPJ, whether you contr ibuted to it or not, you are always welcome at our "post mortems", where you
can come he [p us critique each issue so we can make the paper bet ter. I you
just want to see what putting together a newspaper is a ll about, we can always
use an extra pair of hand s on Wednesday production nights. [[you' re more
drawn to the business aspect of a paper, yo u can still be involved by talking
to our business manager about working with local business and national ad
agencies, and making sure that we have the money to continue offering all of
these opportunities to Evergreen students.
r
Above all, the Cooper
Point Journal is a place
to learn
The CPJ is staffed by students. Our main goal is to learn by producing a
newspaper. The staff is not just writers interested in journaJistn. People studying all subjects and interested in many things· have been able to use the CPJ
to grow academically and as members of a community. You don't need experience to become involved. All you need is a willingness to learn, and the
desire to be an active part of Evergreen.

Weekly Comics Review:
Good Comics (no, seriously)
YOUR student newspaper, Cooper Point Journal, wants YOU
By Connor Moran
Who, me?
We're looking for students of Evergreen
to fill Positions of extra Responsiblity
Sound daunting? Not so! Just follow these easy steps:
1. Come to our weekly Student Group meeting every Monday at 5 p.m.
2. Grab an application from the wall outside of the CPJ
3. Fill the application out
4. Turn it in to CAB 316 by
In the past few years, the mainstream
United States has begun to realize that
comics are a viable artistic medium. The
perception of comics as idiotic kiddy-fare
read by overwe ight virgins may not have
bee n totally dispelled (nor is it totally
undeserved), but fi lm s li ke Ghost World,
American Splendor and Sin City, as well
as books like Th e Amazing Adventures 0/
Kavalier and Clay and Fortress o/Solitude
have raised the public consciousness of
good comics. This cel1ain ly seems to be
true among the relatively hi p, literate porti ons of the population such as those found,
say, at a public Iiberal arts university.
That said, many people open to the possibility of good comics still aren't read ing
them. There is another perception, again
not totally undeserved , that com ic fan s and
retailers are an insul ar, hostile group who
will meet the uninitiated with scorn rather
than open anns .
So in the interest of pub lic service I am
beginning my week ly comics review wit h
a few of the no-brainier suggestions that
suc h fa ns and retailers ought to be giving
to comics neophytes. It's quite poss ible
that yo u' ve heard of some or all of these.
Thi s li st is intended as ajumping-offpoint.
These are some good, easy-to-find represe ntat ion s of what is possib le in comics.
Maus I and II by Art
Speigelman
This is perhaps the best-known
English-language graphic novel, and the
winner of the Pul itzer "s pecial awards
and citations-letters." This is the true
story of Speige lm an's father's experiences as a Holocaust survivor, as we ll as
Spe igelman's own reaction s. The characters are represented as various anthropomorphic animals, wi th Jewish people
appearing as mice, Nazis as cats, French
as frogs , etc. Unfl inching and gripping,
this is not on ly one of the greatest comics
ever produced; it is one of the best works
published on the subject of the Holocaust,
in any medium .
Blankets by Craig Thompson
Craig Thompson is one of the hottest
you ng voices in the wo rld of independent
comic's. Blankets , just his second graphic
novel, won him nearly all of the comics
industry 's major awa rd s, something
few- if any- other arti sts can c laim.
Blankets lives up to thi s reputation. It's
a memoir of Thompson's life and young
love ina fundamenta l ist Midwestern
ram iIy. Thompson touches on fait h, love
and trauma. I wi II adm it that he does tend
towards melodrama, but there is humor
along with the pathos. But the book could
be a Jack Chick religious tract and still
be worth reading, because Thompson 's
artwork is so astound ingly beauti ful.

Craig Thomps on
New This Week:
Because the lead tim e for thi s orientation issue is a littl e longer than usual for
the CP J, my "new comic" will be less new
than it normally wi II be. Compound that
with a fairly weak new comic select ion,
and my new comic recommendation will
be less exciting this first time than it should
be. That said, I' m pickingAll Star Batman
and Robin the Boy Wonder #2. This is the
collaboration between Frank Miller and
Jim Lee, and it 's pretty good. If you like
Batman, you may like it. Or you may not.
Hooray.
