Dr. Cortese's previous visit to Evergreen by
stating, ''I've been Illinking on some of the
principles he laid out ever since. I'm really
looking foC\Vard to seeing him again."
Dr. Cortese's visit is timely for two important reasons: I) Evergreen is in Ille Nlidst of

look to the center. rn addition, all the extra
room allows for a more effective floor plan.
The consultants' station, newly expanded, is
strategically placed between the entrance and
the computers, so that consultants canfield
questions from both computer users and new
arrivals. The station has a very smooth and
professional look now, thanks to the glass
counters encircling the entire work area. And
the Computer Center staff is much easier to
get a hold of, since their new offices have
huge windows that let people know when
they are available.
In fact , there are new windows in almost
every room. The old Computer Center used
to have just two windows- now we have 16.
Besides the benefits of having a nice view,
the additional natural light helps brighten up
the entire lab.
The computers aren't the only technology
of note in the new lab. Each classroom is
equipped with a top of the line AN system
for instructor presentations. Perhaps the most
impressive new technological addition is the
15-foot wide folding door. Having an ex1rdwide entrance helps to open up the rest ofthe
lab, and the door keeps the entrance secure
. when the lab is closed. What's so impressive
about the door is watching it open and close. It
involves two synchronous key turns from difrerent parts of tile room, like a missile silo.
Complicated? Maybc.
Cool? Definitely.

~COMMUTER
CONTEST ~~
Begins March 6 th , 2006!
Thi s year Eve rgreen will run its Second Annual
Commuter Contest to he lp encourage and
reward students, staff and faculty for choosing
to commute alternatively to campus.
Participating is easy- just fill out a Commuter
Log one week each quarter, and you will be
entered into a drawing for great prizes like
massages, and gift certificates to local shops
and restaurants!
Our goal is to continue to increase the number
of trips to campus tha t are taken using alternative
means. Ju st about any trip you take that isn't
alo n e in your car will help all of us here at
Evergreen and serve as a positive example for
others in our communities and reg ion.
Stay with the program for both winter and
spring quarters, and be entered into our grand
prize drawing for a chance to win an Apple iPod,
and a gift certificate for travel on Amtrack
or for Olympia Outfitters/The Bike Stand.
Win great prizes like an
Apple iPod!
To help make your commute a little easier,
you can also get access to your very own
ventilated clothing locker- use it to store your
gear overn ight and to dry your clothes during
the day.
~-
L
To get a locker, come by at any time to Parking
Services in Seminar I, and fill out an application.
Anyone can participate, just fill out a Commuter Log the we~k of March 6th!
Pick one up at Parking Services, the Evergreen Bike Shop, or online at: www.evergreen.edu/commute
• Roughly speaking, one gallon of gas releases 20 Ibs. of C02 into the atmosphere. Assuming an average vehicle gets 20 mpg, every mile that is commuted alternativ~IY prevents 1 pound of C°2
from release into the atmosphere. 33 tons is based on 250 participants choosing to commute alternativly one day per week for three quarters- won t you be one of them?

A story about Synergy
By Andy Roo Asmus
Synergy, the annu a l Sustainable Living
Conference, is a mee ting of minds focu sed on
the possibilities of a sustainable future. O ne of
those possibili ties is found in the intersec tion
of art , acceptance a nd com munit y.
Last year at Synergy, I was involved in a
sculpture proj ect on Red Square where the
prunings from the surro und ing syca more
trees were reused to ma ke an interact ive art
piece, "the Synergy Dome." Look for more
sculptu res ma de fro m salvaged syca more
branches at the 2006 Synergy Confe rence,
fro m March 1-4. In 2005, hundreds, maybe
thousa nds of branches were bo und together
into pliable chords and we tried to lash these
toge ther, braci ng them to fo rm a dome 20-30
feet in diameter. It neve r stood as had been
planned due to leaving out other structural
mate rials th at didn ' t fit our sta nd ards of
reuse. The materials did not have the stabili ty
needed to support their own weight at such
a large scale.
Frustrations mounted among the 20 -25
people working on raisi ng the dome. One'
person after another offered up plans and
ideas on how to make it work. The plans
conflicted, and none of them could overcome
the iss ue of gravity anyhow. Then, when the
energy of the group seemed at its worst, the
original plan was abandoned and we decided
to work with what we had, fi nding out that
the ideal wasn't necessary for the project to
be mea ningful a nd to produce something
beautiful.
The chords were left in a snaking pallern on
the South edge of the square next to the lawn
in a way that was both safe and pleasi ng to the
eye. Some of the prunings were bound and
arranged to form a labyrinth , and the others
j ust lay where they were. If the dome were to
have stood, the planner's ideas would 've been
realized and the materials would've taken a
single, static form. With the plan abandoned,
the conference attendents and students were
able to each contr ibute their own vi sion
and rearrange the chords how they wished.
What resulted was truly interactive art where
dozens and dozens of people randomly added
th~ir ow n touches to a very organic structure.
Kids made nests, grow nups made places to
sit, talk and share foo d. Studen ts played in,
on and under it, and helped make the whole
space come ali ve.
The rea liza ti on that ca me to me fro m
bein g a rou nd thi s p roj e ct is th at give n
the op po rtuni ty, s pace a nd m ate ri a ls.
peop le will c rea te a rt spo nt a neo us ly. It
spr ings fro m somew he re dee p, the need
fo r c reati on. The pla n wo uld 've res ulled
in a co mpletely di ffe re nt experie nce if it
had succ eeded. Someti mes accepti ng the
reality of limitatIOns can allow fo r limitless
possibilities to become vis ible. And that is
what Synergy is al l abou t. Unde rstandi ng
the limits we all share on account of li ving
on the Ea rth and reali zi ng how operating
w ithin those lim its does n' t have to be
confining, but can lead to beaut iful creations,
relationships, experiences, synergies. Please
bring your talents, hands and visions to Red
Square during Synergy where we can create
together.

Synergy Art
Installations
23, 2006
By Kate Clyde
The Synergy Art In stallations grollp is
creating severa l public art projects on The
Eve rgreen State College ca mpus , to be
shown at the Synergy conference. The site
of each work will be designa led as an "A rt
Zone", w here people from the com mun ity
and th e student body are encouraged to use
provided nalurai mat erial s of twigs and
branches to design and craft any portion of
the ar t install at ion. Th is group project will
give people who might consider themse lves
less artistic the means to have a part o r
themselves in a Pllblic work of arl.
These art installations are collaborative
works built betwee n the renowned ar ti st
Ramon Averell and the commu nity. Ramon
wi ll be helping us creale structurall y sound
garden trellises and wooden domes using the
flex ible twigs and branches that Eve rgreen
prunes from its campus trees every year.
Fence stakes will be used for the found at ion
of the sculptures, and Sisal twine (made
from a natura l fiber) wi ll be used to bind
the twi gs and branches logether. The types
of work Ramon is known for are his custom
tre llises, a r~ ors, benches a nd privacy
screens. He has years of experie nce in
work ing with nat ural woods and is acting
as our advisor and mentor on this year's
Synergy Art Installations project.
The Serpentine Trellis sc ulpture wi ll
present the illu s ion of a water dragon
swimming up through Ihree plot s of
grass wi th in Eve r gree n's Red Square.

News you must know, but which is seldom shared
Advice on who to check out
at the Synergy conference
\
By Zac Merten
Hi there, Synergy fans' We are in
the midst of the 5" h Annual Synergy
Conference, a conference famous for its
entourage of alluring and ground-shifting
presenters and events. Though every year
student organizers strive to structure
the con ference so that the degree of
overlapping presentations of interest is
low, it's inevitable to feel torn over who
and what to see.
Fear not, curious fans' Let me assure
you, whoever and whatever event you find
yourself at, you will be at the forefront
of sustainable living. Open your minds,
follow your noses, and swap summaries
and insights with your homies who saw
the event that you didn't. Make a new
connection to do the same. That's what
Synergy is here for! To collaborate today
for a sustainable tomorrow!
In the meantime, allow me to share with
you picks from an average 01' Greener who
has been digging around in Synergy for a
few years now.
I'm excited about Dr. P.T. Anastas, the
Green Chemist. In the physical realm of
ecology and sustainability chemistry is a
root science with strong powers to affect
what kind of wake we human folk leave
at home in our environment. I trust my
Chern. Club homies when I see them get
giddy at the prospect of seeing Dr. A. They
will be giving a workshop on simple Green
Chemistry at home you should look for
too. Whether you ever swore you'd never
look at a periodic table again or you have
it embroidered on your bedspread at home,
chemistry affects you. Make it Green!
I'm also going to be looking out for Peggy
Dylan . She is a wise woman of the kind
that I wish would be in our government.
She is grounded in the non-physical realm
of sustainability. She will offer insights
on gender-oriented psychology, emotional
power and freethinking. I consider
human psychology to be the main root
of sustainability, for it is humans and the
decisions we make that is going to make
or break our future.
Also, check out Professor Steve Badanes
on Thursday evening. I dig this guy not
only because I am a Sustainable Design
nut , but also because I like his style
as an innovator in the Design-Build
methodology. Badanes is sort of a pirate
sailing outside the box of traditional
architecture. I look up to professionals who
don 't swallow what they don't believe just
because it may be the way everyone else is
doing it. When one can say No by creating
an alternative, they've got my ear.
Finally, the finale. Starhawk is a name
I have heard for a long time. A visionary
for applied Ecotopia, Starhawk takes the
practice of Permaculture and applies its
philosop~y to her view of living on this
here planet. Woo-woo shmoo-whoD,
someone has to get people to stand
together in circles rather than lines. Elaine
Grinnell will be opening up for the Grand
Saturday Event and rightfully so. She is a
Jamestown tribal elder with the magic of
the ages. She. is a voice of the ancestral
peoples of this land you are now walking
in. She is animate and wise, the matriarch
of her family and community, and will
enthrall her audience with timeless stories
of this world.
Beyond these picks, Synergy is packed
with insightful and powerful people
making a change in our world . Ethan of
Organic Volunteers is a local Greener grad
who can hook you up with sustainable
industry internships throughout the
Americas, Marisha Auerbach is another
local favorite working in permacuiture,
and the bioregionalism panel will offer a
group of presenters to access. Again folks :
you can't go wrong! Music,·food , leading
minds and enlightened hearts. Synergy
comes ·once a year through the hard work
of fellow students, so go out there and
COLLABORATE!

applications.

A couple
of weeks
ago I wrote
an article
entitled
"Terror is
China's
Communist
Sect ".
In it was
mentioned
By Alex London
that
Dr.
Charles Li, a U .S. citizen and Falun
Gong practitioner, had been jailed and
tortured in China si nc e January 2003.
He had a three-year sentence, and due
to international pressure, was released
recently, arriving in San Francisco. The
stories of his imprisonment are horrific.
In an interview with The Epoch Times
newspaper, he stated,
It's truly hell. I wish everybody in this
world could know the truth about how
the persecution goes. If you kill someone
instantly, that would be ok, they don't
suffer much pain. But if you torture
people like this, and they give you no
hope to get out, that's worse, much worse
than death. Actually, sometimes we had
arguments with those inmates who
were watching me. I sa id , "You cannot
kill me , right?" They answered , "Yeah,
but we can make it worse than death."
That's what they actually said. So they
know how to torture people, they know
how to let you suffer to the extreme. It's
worse than death. This, they make you
suffer- endless suffering, and you don't
see the end. That's extremely vicious.
In the end he says, "My hop e
is that people can know the truth ,
and people can do the ir part, all the
righteous people in the world , do
their part to stop this persecution ."
He is referring to the persecution of
Falun Gong- a spiritual meditation
practice- by the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) . Since July 20, 1999 , the
100 million people practicing Falun
Gong in China have been under severe
pressure: being mass arrested, intimidated , brainwashed , seized of prope rt y,
expelled from school, subjected to hard
labor, tortured in prison, etc. - and today
this still occurs ... however, it is behind
the scenes, and many in America have
no idea that this occurs in China ; Thc
major media outlets se ldom report on
this troubling predicament in Communist
C hina.
But recent ly, the persec ution of Falun
Gong- and the persecution of freedom
of the press, for that matter- have bee n
hitting closer to home . On Thursday,
Feb. 9, two armed men forced their way
into the home of Mr. Yuan Li , who is
a revered computer scientist work ing
as the Chief Technician for The Epoch
Times and a known Falun Gong prac titioner. The thugs beat his head with a
gun . Mr. Li remark ed , " Fin ally the y
used the tape they brou ght with them to
tape my mouth, my eyes and my ears; my
arms were tied behind m y back and my
legs were also tied up . I couldn't move at
all; l could ne ither see nor scream." The
attack produced 15 stitches in Mr. Li.
The thugs' motives were clear. A
police investigation found pried-open
file cabinets and two stolen laptop computers. All other va luables, including
expens ive cameras, were not touched .
Mr. Li surmi ses that they were paid by
the CCP. Their goal : to terrori ze Mr. Li
and others, and find inside r informati o n
about The Epoch Times.
In reaction to this attack, ABC news
had a nation al TV broadcast, about 2-3
minutes lon g, talkin g about th e eve nt
and the persec ution o f Falun Gong by
the Chinese Co mmuni st govc rnmcnt.
However, what they failed to m ention
is why the CCP is so afraid of The Epoch
Times that it would promot e violence
and es pionage in America')
Thi s is my answe r, something that
none of our national media is willing to
broadcast. A littl e ovcr a year ago, The
Epoch Times publi shed an online and
printed book ca ll ed "N ine Commentaries
on the Communist Party". It describes
the hi sto ry of communism, how it fools
the peopl e, how China does not practice
communism and is more like an oligarchy, the hi story of the Communist Party 's
willingness to kill for political advantage
and suppress certain gro ups ofpeople for
politica l advant age , etc. The book has
ca used quite a stir in C hina and abroad.
In reaction to it, many Chinese felt si ck
to their stomachs and wished to abandon
the CC P. So, The Epoch Times set up an
online forum where Chinese people can
resign from the Party (doing so directly
to the government wou ld labe l the m a
counte r-revoluti onary and promote their
arrest as a dissident) . As of February 15,
8 million Chinese who are curren t CC P
members or affiliated with organizations
under CCP's control, wrote state ments
that resig ned th e ir membership and se vered all ti es with the organizations. That
mcans: 13.3% oran estimated 60 millio n
members have res ig ned from the CC P in
th e past 15 months.
The CC P is in its de ath throes and
w ill soo n co ll a pse and be rep laced
by, hope fully, a more responsible and
ri g hteo us ruler. The ccr knows thi s, so
in an att e mpt to gai n a n advanta ge of
the s ituati on, the y attacked Mr. Li and
dis obeye d the la ws of a frce country,
Ameri(;a. There is a lot more to thi s story,
and it is goes very deep . Howcvcr, sin ce
th e popular m edi a leaves Amer icans
unawa're o rthe situati on, when The G reat
CO lllmuni st Wa ll in C hina falls , just like
th e Berlin Wall did , Americans will see

Evergreen
has
never
had a student
government.
Without
student
government,
Evergreen
students
have-de By Avery Jacob
Jacto-been Wiscomb
buying
whatever the Evergreen administration
sells them. Now, when a student has a
problem with Evergreen policy or with an
education policy of Washington State, it's
the student's problem, not a problem for
Evergreen students collectively.
The chief aim of a representative
student government, then, is to centralize
stude,nt voice, and thus, strengthen
student power. Schools can run without
teachers (for students can teach each
other), but schools can't run without
students. When one student, heck, even
twenty students have a problem with
an administration, administration can
smile, nod and send them back to their
S&A cubicle. But when every student
has the same problem, administration
is forced to make changes. Forced to
make changes because the cost that is
campus-strife, bad press at the local and
national level, lowered student retention
and slumping enrollment is just too great
to leave unchanged. With representative
student government, changes in policy
come about as a prescription to collective
student outrage.
Because Evergreen has never had
a student government, Evergreen has
also never had a student representative
speaking for Evergreen at the state level.
This means all legislation concerning
education in Washington State has
passed or failed without the input of the
Evergreen student body. In other words,
we complain about state policy, but
without student government we can' t do
a thing about it as a collective body.
Student government, or the Geoduck
Union, is a prescriptive measure for an
administration (in part) and a state (in
part) who have turned against the core
values, the ideas, of old-time Evergreen.
What was once an alternative education
actualized is in danger of becoming a
state-fed, vocationally-minded agenda.
Vote for the Geoduck Union on March
13 pecause you're hurting yourself,
hurting me, hurting all of us if you don't .

G eod uc ks co nvel1ed for 7 po ints. Compare
that to Evergreen's I I second-half giveaways
fo r 12 WI' po ints and yo u ha ve a fi ve-po int
dilTere nce, more than the difTerence o f the
fin al score.
Malison fittin gly was aga in the game's
hig h sco rer w ith I X, fini shin g the season
w ith a sco rin g a ve rage o f 12. 9 po int s a
game, put1ing him at number ten all-time
fo r a single season scoring average by an
Evergreen player. Ifnot fo r the slow scoring
stal1 w here he didn ' t reac h double fi g ures
in seven o f his first te n ga mes, his average
wo uld be higher as I expect it to be nex t
season. Fa lling just short of capturing the
game's scoring titl e was senior Doug Dietz
playing in his final game as he finish ed with
17 points, including three connections from
downtown. Those three gave him 50 total on
the year and placed him 8th all time for threes
made in a season. The other senior playi ng
fo r the final time in the Evergreen unifonn
was Wes Newton who put together his most
e tTicient game aga inst Warn er Pac ific with
fi ve ass ists and onl y o ne turnovcr whil e
droppin g in e ight points . Thomas Cook
snagged a team-high 11 rebounds allowing
him to finish with an average of 7.4 on the
year, which barely placed him at number
two all-time in rebounding average behind
Evergree n All-American Mike Parker who
holds thc reco rd when he averaged 7. 5 in
the 2002 -2003 season. Butthc ki cker is that
Cook o nl y averaged 22 minutes a game,
mos tl y due to foultJ'Oublc , so whe n he's on
the fl oor he's getting the j ob done.

ContCrence with a record of 9- 19. Eight o f

Cascade Thunderbirds, and despite a 27 point effOI1 from Pat Mattson, Cascade still
came out o n top 76-71 . Manson, who scored
the Geoducks' first 14 points in the game
including three three-po inters, was outdone
by Cascade guard Joshua Garrett who posted
34 po ints, fiv e rebo unds and five assists
while playing the entire game. The game
was close throughout as neither team ever
held a lead larger than se ven points. With
three minutes le ft in the game the score was
tied at 61 before Cascade scored 13 o f its
final 15 points, thanks in large pal1to Garrett
and Paul Hamilton each going six o f six from
the foul line in the closing minutes to ho ld
o fT the Geoducks.
