Student
government
by consensus
Will it work for Evergreen s
proposed student
government?

Bright Future - "Roach World"
By Elliot Bangs
Elliot Bangs is a sophmore enrolled in Public Works.
Harry Levine, who has been racilitating
consensusat the Olympia Food Cooperative's
Board of Directors for 16 years, is confident
it can.
Consensus is likely a part of the Co-op's
success. It projects $9.5 million in sales this
year. The local business has been using a
consensus model of decision-making
for it s staff collective and at the board
since its inception in 1977. Consensus
governance is used by other loca I and
national organizations including Lincoln
Elementary School's parent advisory board ,
Olympia Film Society 's Board of Directors
and the National Green Party.
Ja yne Kaszyn sk i co-authored the
proposed student government constitution
at Evergreen, the Geoduck Un ion, and
se rves as the student representative to
The Evergreen State College Board of
Trustees.
Kaszynski explained that unlike majority
rule, consensus requires that all who are part
of a decision consent to it. A decision made
by majority might alienate those left out,
or create winners and losers. Consensus
compels proponents of a change to work
with those who have reservations to create

WashPIRG acts on
student aid cuts
PIRG members testifY at Deptartment of
Education hearing, plan to create 'Debt
Yearbook' ofaffected students
By Jesse Stark
Thirty-five students from around the states
of Washington and Oregon went to Seattle
on February 7 to testify on a hearing about
the Bush administration's cuts on student aid.
TESC students Jessica Tweedy and Nathan
Ashlock were among the people testifying
at the day-long hearing. The hearing is one
of many the U.S. Department of Education
is holding around the country; the first was
in San Diego. The trip was organized by
WashPIRG and Oregon State PIRG.
"The loss of th is aid is devastating to my
generation and the ge nerations to follow," sa id
Tweedy in her testimony to the commission
in Seattle. "The impacts include hundreds
of thousands of college-eligible high school
students opting out of college to avoid debt.
If I hadn't have been able to receive student
aid, I would not be here standing in rront of
you today."
In addition , WashPIRG held a pre ss
conference and rally where th ey gave
information to the media about the cuts in
student aid and the impacts they wi II have.
Students spoke about their own debts and
related them to larger issues . Congress
approved the $12.7 billion cuts in student
aid , which were signed by the President.
However, there was a typo in the House and
Senate versions, which means that there is a
possible revote on the measure. In addition,
opponents are planning to challenge the
measure in court.
In addition to the cuts in student aid, the
Bush adm in istration plans to cut another
$3.1 billion from the Department of Education
in their next budget. "In his State of the
Union Address, Bush stated a commitment
to science and math education," said Blair
Anundson, WashPIRG campus organizer
for TESC. "B ut the recent behavior of the
Bush adm in istration has not supported that
commitment." The Bu sh administration
is planning $70 billion of tax cuts and a
$40 bill ion increase in defen se spending.
A nundson says that a better solution would
be to increase student aid through greater
accessibil ity to grant aid , affordable loans and
more funding for higher education. "To cut
funding ror higher education at a time when
we need more math and science students is
wrong and short-sighted ," said Anundson .
The WashPIRG fight against student aid
cuts will continue. They plan to continue
to so licit public comments for the U.S.
Department of Education, create a debt
yea rbook of students who have to deal with
debt, and take it to the education comm ission.
The National PIRG plans to organize
students to testify at future public hearings;
Wash PI RG plans to organ ize a task force to
find out why student tuition has gone up so
much . TESC tuition has gone up 66 percent
in the last six years.
Jesse Stark is a senior IransJer student and
is the WashPJRG media intern.
Brad Bishop poll e d \5 votcs more
than opponent Jacob Bc rk ey to become
coord inator or Eve rgreen's fi r5t ever C lea n
Energy Commi ssion.
Eve ry student at each Everg reen campu s
was eligible to vote. Vot es were cas t
online- from any computer- on- or offcampus . Polls were open for five days .
Bishop , a senior, rece ived 37 vote s.
Berkey, a graduate student, received 22.
Four other students were elected to the
commission. All ran unopposed.
The new commi ss ion is res pon s ibl e
for spending rou ghly $30,000 on campus
clean energy projects thi s year. The money
is surplus from the quarterly Clean Energy
Fee paid by all students to power the campus
on energy from renewable resou rces.
" I would say it was a success that at least
59 people voted," said student election
commissioner Adam November. 59 votes
represent roughly one-and-a-half percent
voter turnout.
This was the first time the online voting
system was used for electing people, rather
than deciding on initiatives. In the past, a
committee like thi s was appointed rath er
than elected.
This election did not require a
minimum turnout to be valid, unlike
two upcoming campus elections starting
week ten . These elections are to renew
and raise th e Was hPIRG fee and to
es tablish a new stud e nt gove rnment.
. Eac h of these two elections req uire s a
25 percent turn out to be considered valid.

conlracllilled Writing the News.
2/9 Corrections
On the first page of the Day of Absence,
Day of Presence pullout, Brian Campbell's
quote was shortened in a way that altere d
the meaning. The quote should have read,
"Ultimately it's great there's a forum for
people to talk about race and divers ity
here at Evergreen. It's jus t 100 bad tha t
it only happens for two days a ye ar."
We apologize for misrepresenting hi s
statement.
The article on page 9 that was credited to
Noah Sochet was a collaboration between
the organizers ,of Day of Absence on
campus. We apologize for any confusion
this may have caused.

FEBRUARY
By Victoria
Larkin
In the beginning was The Word ... and The Word becam e flesh ,
was made manifest . . . The Word is akin to The Original Idea ... In
Chinese, it is said : In the beginning was The Way, or The Dao .
C hin ese writing is , in essence , The
Idea made mani fest. The charac ters th at
make up C hinese writing are ideograms :
concep ts conveyed via codified images,
si mil ar to hi erog lyphic s. Ideogra ms are
in themse lv es illustra ti o ns, an d convey
a cer ta in ges tal t upon sight. C hines e
ca lli grap hy is one of the most widely
known form s of art in which the word as
art has bee n hi ghly valued a nd refined .
The art of calligraphy is direc tl y re lated
to philoso ph y a nd spirituality, and one
would ideally practice it in a med ita ti ve
s tate designed to a llow one to ac hi eve
th e clarity a nd si mpli c ity and natural
fl ow of the form and, by infere nce, the
natural flo w of life, of th e Dao .
T houg h calligraphy is an art in the
West as well, a nd has bee n s ince the
tim e of illuminated manuscript s (a nd
ma ny of us do get obsessed with fonts) ,
we do not ofte n think of our a lphabe t as
art , as image, mu ch less as a m edit a ti ve
a nd spi ritu a l practice . Eng li s h speake rs and writers are used to a phonetic
a lph abe t: lots of lin es that equal le tters that , whe n st run g together, create
words, which convey ideas. The letters ha ve no mea nin g of th e ir own. O ne
must grasp a word leller by letter, th e n
tra ns late it in th e mind in order to reach
th e co nce pt being con veyed. We do not
feel letters in the rather holi sti c way o ne
might feel an ideogram. Le tters can b e
made bea utiful , but ge ne rall y speak in g
we write words and pa int pictures.
The
P ai nt e d
Word
ex hibit
pu s h e d
many
of th ose of u s
involved to re think
our re la ti onship to
T he Word as ar t
form. Judging from
th e many conve rsati o n s I have had,
and h eard abou t ,
s p a rk ed by this
ex hibit , viewers of
it have bee n pushed
in th e sa me way.
T he relationship
of word and im age
is powerful. O ne ca n stare vague ly at
an image, take it in or no t, co mpr ehe nd
it or no t, have an idea of what th e artist
was gettin g at or no t, but when one is
co n fron ted wi th words as pa rt of the
image , wi th concep ts in th e form of a
known language, th e effect is deepened.
Image a nd tex t together create a powerfu l w hole that commu ni ca te s more
profoundly than just one or th e other.
The two e ngage both the right a nd left
brain a nd produce a more integrated
sense of th e message.
During th e workshops that pr eceded th e ex hibit, people w ho had
never worked wi th these .two co ncepts
together produced incredibl y moving
work, much of whi ch neve r made it
to th e hanging s tage . I have a lw ays
wor ked with word s, and occasiona lly
with im ages, but always they've bee n
separa te. I have played with th e loops
a nd t wirl s of longha nd , a nd love to
write just for th e pl eas ure of the calligraphy sometimes. But during th ese
works hops, I was urged and in spired to
crea te a mo re visceral ex pe ri ence of a
tex t b y illu stratin g it with images tha t
lay behind, in the emotions.
On the walls of The Eve rgreen State
Co ll ege Libra ry now h a ng inspiring
works of image and text. Where once
there was a blank page, now there a re
th ought s illus trated by images, images
support ed b y th o ughts. On th e long
white wall along th e ha llway out sid e
~ters can be made beautiful, but
generally speaking we write words
and paint pictures. [. ..] Image and
text together create a powerful whole
that communicates more profoundly
than just one or the other.

pas t th e entrance to Academic Services
and on into the comput er la b, no w h ang
works of art by va ri ous arti sts wo rkin g
w ith image a nd tex t. There are many
pieces of traditi onal C hin ese ca lli graphy. There are works in He bre w and
Arabic, la nguages written in ca lli graph y
for probably as long as C hin ese . But th e
Eng li sh pieces rea lly see m to stri ke th e
Eng li sh audience that passes by eve ry
day on its way to various tasks.
I've watched numbers of people walk
by, some trying not to look, their heads
turnin g all the same, captured by a word
they co uld not help but le t s lip into the ir
co nscio us ness . Some were caught by
th e images, only to be further piqued by
th e words . In front of a powe rful piece,
"The Refugee" by Pamela Joy Ponton e,
1 watched a yo ung girl, probably 8 or 9,
stand riveted for a very long time. She
mouthed every word painted beside the
image of a skeletal woman being carried
by a man. The words read: " I ' m sorry I
made art from your pain . .. Mine is too
hard for me to draw from " . When this
girl's mother came to find her, the girl ,
not taki ng her eyes off of the ca n vas,
said: "This one 's scary." The image
co uld certainly stand alo ne, as co uld
th e words, but tog e th e r they impart
a powerful message that thi s you ng
g irl inte rac te d wi th , a nd was c learly
impressed by.
Another pi ece that has been ofte n
reca lled to me by o th ers is " Inn oce nce"
by Lacey G raves, a series of nin e photograph s of her very young da ughter in
poses of eac h of the letters of th e word
Innoce nce. The s impli cit y a nd directness almost pour into th e viewer.
One piece, "Re lease" b y A bi gai l
Rice, is a Zen c ircle, left open, co mpl eted in one bold s trok e, an d seems
to need no words . Em ptin ess a nd Form
a re co nv eyed co mpl e tely. If one then
reads th e fine print at th e botto m : "A nd
th e d ay came when the risk it too k to
remain tight in the bud was more pai nful th an the ri sk it took to bl oom -A na is
Nin", one is impressed with the poetic
definit io n of the actual re lationship of
Emptiness to Form.
T here are works b y arti sts who ma ke
books, by calligraphers, an d by collage
arti s ts. There are works by co mplete
novi ces, a nd b y lon g term professionals, by stude nts and professo rs. There
a re works made offa bri c, of handm ade
paper, of beads, framed in native plants,
and spray pai nted on pl astic. The overa ll effec t of the variety and profundit y
of th e collection is undeniable. The
colors, th e images a nd th e lure of th e
text ine vita bly draw peop le in.
There co uldn ' t be a better spo t fo r
a Painted Word exhibit th an a library.
Beside the obviou s co nn ec ti on w ith
words, the library is a publi c space, as
is the wa ll in the ha llway. This is no t an
a rt ex hibit th at one mus t trek especia ll y
over to a ga lle ry to see. Many fo lks just
don ' t go into galleries . But here, while
o ne idly waits for the co mpute r to boot
up , or their si te to load, while one stands
wa iting for copies to print, or just wa lks
back from lunch back to work , sub tl e
trinkets of th ought float qu ie tl y in on
the s tream of images and colors.
Thi s ex hibit was tra nsformati ve to
work o n, and is transform ati ve to ex peri ence . While he would no do ubt decl ine
credit, Hirsh Diamant, the genitor of the
project, created a vesse l for Everg ree n
students and the commu nity at large
in which to exp lo re th e powe r o f T he
Word when it is wed with image . The
Painted Word ex hibit co inc ided with th e
Lunar New Yea r celebrations a nd , du e
to po pul ar outcry, will remai n on the
walls unti I the end of February.

You will note in Figure A, 10 vertical lines of equal length and one dotted
diagonal line with positive slope placed on a rectangle. If you were to cut
along the diagonal line and slide the lower half of the rectangle leftward
and downward, you would create Figure B. If you count the vertical lines
on Figure B you will discover that there are now only 9. Which line

desire for different milieu: I
wanted an environment of fresh

about by multi-disciplinary

traditional pedantry that you put
up with at other colleges. And
I live ten minutes away. That
didn't hurt."

Admittedly I was blackout drunk a t the

album is throu g h its cowardly dash toward
protective lees. Ergo: if you're protectively not
a lee, abandon hope ye who enter, euz be it ye
who be at the wrong end of ye muse. So, the
Godz were a radical new g roup for their time
pa rtly for their complete inability to play their
instruments and partly due to their linguistic
challenges. The Godzwere the first band to usc
the slang "da" and to substitute ' z' for 's', way
before any hip-hop ebonie Slang' eve r picked

It's all about the image. The Godz were pa rt

Why don't we

Some people say, " Why bother learning the language of the ancient white
oppressor? A fter all, you can take
French." These people, of course, are
mad foolz.
Mad foolz are people who have forgotten just how important a Classical
education was to the folks who dreamed
up the more modern notions of legislation and representative democracy that
circumscribe our lives today. Mad foolz
are people who have forgotten that the
English language is rooted in Latin and
Greek . If you want a better understanding of the English language, English
people, Americans or their empire, then
a fine place to start is with the study
of the ancient G reeks and Romans. If
. you want to study the Western trad ition, start reading the literature of the
ancient Greeks and Romans . Most of it
is written in Greek and Latin.
I f, on the other hand , you want to
practice medicine, law, public policy,
administration , education, mathematics or the physical sciences-from
astronomy to zoology- Greek and Latin
in your education is doubly important
because medicine, law, public policy,
administration, mathematics and the
physical sciences, at least as we know
them , were invented by the ancient
Greeks and Romans. The vocabularies
of the aforementioned specializations,
even today, are dominated by the Greek
and Latin language . In other words , if
you want to get into better graduate
schools, if you want to stand out, if you
want to understand how academic terminology is constructed, you must study
Greek, you must study Latin. But good
luck doing either at Evergreen.
Even though the liberal arts tradition
begins in the Classical World of ancient
Greece and Rome, despite the fact that
Evergreen is a liberal arts college, the
Evergreen administration employs only
one classicist. His name, for the record,
is Andrew Reece, and guess what : he
doesn't have time to teach Greek or
Latin to your sorry ass. Andrew is one
of the finest teachers on campus, but he
is only one man. The administration
refuses to hire an additional full time
classicist who can teach Greek or Lat(n.
What does this mean? Even if you get
the chance to take Greek or Latin with

you do-then you still won't be able to

beyond an introductory level. There just
aren't the faculty on campus to support
the serious study of Greek or Latin.
The Evergreen Classics Club, The
Phrontisterion (or Thinkery), was
formed for a plethora of rea so ns, but
mostly because the Evergreen administration fails to provide adequate education in Classical studies by failing to
employ an adequate number of Classical studies faculty. The Phronti s terion
meets Wednesd_ays at noon in Sem II
A2109; it's where students support
students who want to know more about
things Classical.
I n recent weeks you may have seen
members of the Phrontisterion clad
in chilons (Greek for togas) , selling
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pie
and political animal cookies (frosted
dinosaur cookies, really, as dinosaurs
were used for domestic companionship
and heavy labor in ancient times) . The
Phrontisterion has been selling things
because the Phrontisterion is putting
on a play. And not just any play, but the
most controversial Greek comedy of all
time . Banned twice in 51 countries for
inciting riot and public orgy of a sort

warned. The play is free, because it
means enough to the Phrontisterion
that you'd come.
The moral of the story: if the Evergreen administration fails to provide you
with an adequate liberal arts education,
get some students together and make one
yourselves.

LETTERS AND OPINIONS

week of Day

Day
of
Presence ,
a two-clay
event that
was largely
coordinated
By Miki Foster
by two small
groups
of
people who care a lot about Eve rgreen
and the way the issues of diversity and
race are dealt with here . I've been told
by numerous people that they thought it
was odd that there was only a two-day
event each year that actually deals with
race and diversity issues on campus, as
those issues have much more far-reaching and intricate implications than can
be dealt with in that time. I agree with
them for several reasons and I can safely
say that there were at least a handful of
others- faculty, students and staff-that
would concur that what is happening at
Evergreen is not enough to tackle the
issues surrounding race on our campus.
I also have to add that no amount of
reflection on how much better we are
than twenty years ago is going to give
us constructive plans for the future ; we
need to build a sustainable plan that

"clash of civili za tions" in

concernIng

and European world
By Alan Williams
these
last
few weeks. It
makes me want to cry. Certain politicians
on both "sides" are arguing that jimdamental issues divide the Islamic world
from the West, like "freedom of speech"
and "freedom of religion ."
But do you think that America or
European countries are better places to
live because they're "democracies" while
Iran is retrogressive because everyone has
to do what the Grand Ayatollah says?
Democracy is a hoax, people. Get over
it. Americans watch TV and then become
sheep at their Christian president 's bidding
for t he very reason that the masses don 't
want power. That's the danger of 21 "
century government: not that people
like Bush or Ali al-Sistani are taking us
back to the days of God-ordained kings,
but that we falsely believe we ever left
thos e days, that somehow the "people"
have been "given" power that the y' re
excited to exercise, and that they want to
exercise it conscientiously. Terrorism in
today's world is not dangerous because it
is non-negotiable, but because it unmasks
the unrepresentativity of power by
demonstrating its own unrepresentativity.
(\ f you want to know more about this, read
philosopher Jean Baudrillard)
Here's a sample of his thinking: the
niche of 21" century politicians is to flip
the switches that mass media provides
them, and then the masses become sheep.
America's politicians did this prior to the
Iraq War. Now, the leaders of the Islamic
world are doing the same thing regarding
some cartoons, originally printed in
Denmark last September. Representatives
of 57 Muslim nations met in Mecca in
December for the O.I.e. (Organization
of the Islamic Conference) to discuss
the caricatures of Prophet Mohammad,
and now those individuals are flipping
media switches and the Muslim world is
becoming preprogrammedly angry. That's
what this "clash of civilizations" talk is
about. It 's being created. intentionally.
The president of Russia 's Institute of
the Middle East, Yevgeny Satanovsky, told
liar-Tass (Russia'S major news agency) on
February 6 that "The caricatures of Prophet
Mohammad published as far back as last
September angered the entire Islamic
world but especially the countries where
I ran 's influence is the strongest ... the apex
of the conflict coincided precisely with the
discussion of the Iranian nuclear dossier
at the IAEA." This theory is echoed by
Scientific Council of the Moscow Carnegie
Ce ntre me mber, Alexei Mala shenko ,
who believes that "tht: fuss around the
caricatures was made artificially." That
is, at a time when the Muslim world has
no concerted position either on the Iran ian
nuclear program or Palestinian Ham as,
whose ideology is opposed by moderate
Islamic reg imes like Jordan or Egypt, the
caricature uproar provides a "pretext for
showing how coherent Muslims are."
Yet, I think that if we look at the greater
historical picture here, we'll find that
none of this is actually about "freedom of
speech" or "freedom of religion" or the
Holocaust or Israel or nuclear weaponry to
begin with. Baudrillard argues that the 21"
century is littered with continuous public
assumption of revolutionary fulfillment,
manifested through present violence
(called "news"), which concerns itself
with the never-ending extremes orthe past
while overriding concerns for the future .
In a way, Europe and the Islamic world
are delighted to talk about the Holocaust
and the creation of Israel, because chitchat about Hitler is entertainment. During
this chitchat, Iranian president Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad says, "By the way, we're
developing nuclear weapons."
We're li ving the book "1984", where
agonistic opposites- entertainment and
catastrophe- are esse ntially the same
events' Baudrillard writes: 'The history of
the social will never have had time to lead
to revolution : it will have been outstripped
by signs of the social and of re volution:"
("In the Shadow of the Silent Majority", p.
R5). The mass media is hopel ess. Instead
of creating communication and useful dialogue, it exhausts itsel fin th e ac t of staging
th e communication and dialogue (p. 978). Behind this staging of communicat ion ,
with its pressure of information , the media
carries out an irresi stible destructuring of
the social. Eve rything always comes back
to Jesus, Satan, Mohammad , Hitler, Jeffer-
son and MLK.I once thought "Democracy
Now" was a wonderful alternative media
source, but it's not. II too is bogged down
with th e staging of meaning. Frankly, it
mean s nothing. And I'm not a nihili st.
Really, I'm not.
Universalism (i .e. , human right s,
equality, freedom of s pe ec h) - things
the United Nations is geared toward- is
today equated with globalization, which
is actually not concerned with human
rights whatsoever, but with trade, the
markets and mass media . So, whereas
the riots in France a few months ago happened beca use Arabs there are treatcd
like second-class citizens, the response
is that the West readies itself to go to war
with Iran to protect "freedom of speech"
because they don ' t want another Holocaust. Iran hopes to gather the whole of
the Middle East to ready itself to go to war
with the West to protect their "sanctity of
religion" because the y don't want anoth e r
Crusade.
See why I want to cry? This is whal
Baudrillard calls the End of Histor y,
but not in the lovely Marxian revolulion
sort of way. It's more like a continuous
unrevulut ion .
