[fyou haven't heard, ifnobody told you,
if you're fresh off the plane from Thailand
after four months, or if you've just forgotten: listen up. It's organic and simple and
easy to digest. Evergreen now has a student
government. How did it happen? Magic?
Nope. Miracle? Not exactly. Mirage? Not
this time. A group of students, Greeners
for Student Government, proposed a constitution to the student body for ratification
at the end of Winter Quarter. The voting
began March 13, 2006, and the proposal
passed.
Here are the details. Ratification
required 25 percent voting participation
from the student body. The majority of
students voting had to vote "yes" in order
to ratify the constitution. The eligible
voting population at The Evergreen State
College was 4,253 students. One thousand,
three hundred and ninety-one students,
approximately 33 percent of the eligible
body, participated in the vote and 1,279
students, approximately 30 percent of the
student body, voted "yes" in favor of the
proposed constitution. One hundred and
twelve students. 3 percent of the student
body, voted "no" opposing the proposed
constitution. Of those who voted, 92 percent voted "yes." The constitution was
ratified, the government approved. Those
are the statistics.
The new student government, The
Geoduck Union, will consist of twenty-one
elected representatives from the student
body. The Union will be non-hierarchical, which means that the elected representatives are on equal footing with one
another, and will use consensus-based
decision making. The Geoduck Union
will hold its first meeting in Fall '06.
But in order for the Geoduck Union to
meet, it needs representatives. Elections
are currently being planned , and candidates are needed . A II Evergreen students are eligible for candidacy, and all
Evergreen students are encouraged to
run. You can pick up an application in
CAB 320, on the top floor of the CAB
building. Monday of Week Five, May I,
is the tentative due date for applications,
and they should be returned to CAB 320.
Candidate application statements will be
published in a Voter 's Guide, available
Week Seven, for students to find out
more about the candidates before the
election. A candidate fair on Red Square
is planned for Week Six, where students
can meet and speak with the candidates
in person. A forum on the Tacoma
campus, as well as a night forum on
the Olympia campus, will take place
during Week Seven. Voting begins May
22 (Week Eight), at the beginning of
registration for Summer Quarter, and
will continue through Week Nine. More
election information will be provided in
the weeks to come. Questions? E-mai I

Silence is Louder than Words

National Day of
Action
in Seattle
More than 25,000 people
marching for immigrants' rights.

Get ready for campus togeta little bit quicter. On April 26, part icipants at Evergreen
will join students across the nation in a Day of
Silence to protest the discrimination, harassment and abuse- in effect s i lencing- faced
by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
st udents and their allies in school s.
The Day of Silence, a project led by
the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Ed uc a tion
Network (GLSEN) is a nat ionwide event
during which students at hundreds of high
schools and colleges protest oppression and
intolerance. The protest will be held during
school hours at Evergreen on Wednesday,
April 26. Participants will be s ilent throughout the school day, wearing buttons and passing out "speaking cards" that read:
"Please understand my reasons for not
speaking today. I am participating in the
Day of Silence, a national youth movement
protesting the silence faced by lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender people and their
allies in schools. My deliberate silence
echoes that silence, which is caused by
harassment, prejudice, and discrimination.
[ believe that ending the silence is the first
step 't oward fighting these injustices. Think
about the voices you are not hearing today.

What are you going to do to e nd the
si lence?"
"The Day of Sil ence, " accordi ng to
an Eve rgree n Queer Alliance coordinator, " is espec iall y relevant to Evergreen
because of the school 's mi ss ion to create
a safe and friendly learning environment, where students of any background
can feel free to share ideas and experiences." The EQA hopes that th e event
will encourage the end of the hatred a nd
oppression that some students face. :
GLSEN's 2003 National School
Climate Survey found that more than 4
out of5 LGBTQ st udents report verbal,
sexual or physical harass ment at school
and 29 percent report mi ss ing at least a
day of school in the past month out of
fear fortheir personal safety. The Day of

9/11 expert Robert Jay Lifton at Evergreen April 25
Lifton headlines the 20th anniversary
Willi Unsoeld Seminar
NEW ASSISTANT BUSINESS
AGER·WAN
By Anthony Sermonti
\
!
The Willi Unsoeld Seminar is bringing
noted author and psychiatrist Robert Jay
Lifton to The Evergreen State College on
Tuesday. April 25 at 8 p.m. The free event
takes place in the Communications Building
Recital Hall at Evergreen and is open to the
public.
The annual lecture series, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. honors
Willi Unsoeld. leader of the first American
expedition to reach th e summit of Mt.
Everest on May 22, 1963. A philosopher.
theologian and mountaineer, Unsoeld was a
founding member of the Evergreen faculty.
He died in an ava ianche on Mount Rainier
in March 1979.
This year's speaker, Dr. Robert Jay
Lifton, has spent hi s life trying to understand
the horror and violence that is an undeni-
able part of human experience. Following
September 11 ,200 I, he undertook a study of
Islamic apocalyptic violence and American
responses to 9/ 11. culminating in his 2003
book Superpower Syndrome : America :\.
Apocalyp/ic Conti'onta/ion with /he Wor/d.
His writings on Nazi doctors (their killing
in the name of healing) and the problem of
genocide, nuclear weapons and their impact
on death symbolism, Hiroshima survivors.

Cultural Revolution. psychological trends
in contemporary men and women. and
the Vietnam War experience and Vietnam
veterans have appeared in a variety of profess iona I and popular journals. His newest
book. Crill/es of War- Iraq. co-edited with
Richard Falk and Irene Gendzier, was published in February 2006.
Lifion is a lecturer in psychiatry at the
Il arvard Medical School and the Cam bridge
G'e t to Know the
Student Health Center
Health Alliance, and distinguished professor emeritus of psychiatry and psychology
at The City University of New York. He was
formerly director of The Center on Violence
and Human Survival at John Jay College of
Criminal Justice and had previously held the
Foundations' Fund Research Professorship
of Psychiatry at Yale University for more
than two decades.
Lifton 's work fits in well with the philosophy of Willi Unsoeld. "For me, the ultimate
goal of all education is to help people treat
t:ach other belter," said Unsoeld, explaining
hi s ed ucational philosophy about a yea r
before he died. " If I were to rip the heart
out of all the ed ucational philosophy which
I have absorbed during my eight years at
The Evergreen State College, I would crystallize it into a single parddoxical resolution
of the old educational conundrum: 'A re yo u

People who do sustainabl e agriculture
consider the ir system inputs and outputs;
where do materials and seeds come into
the farm from and where do products and
wastes go? Generally it's good to keep as
many re so urces on-site as poss ible; when
waste vegetation is composted on-site
and not removed, the nutrients will return
to the local so il. Keeping resources local
also reduces petroleum use. Seed sav ing
is another important topic in sustainability,
which I' ll discuss more in the future.
If you' d like to support sustainable agriculture on the Evergreen campus, watch for
the farm stand on Red Square Tuesdays and
Thursdays. Our food is local and certified
organic, and our sustainable farming practices go beyond the basic organic standards.
Contrary to popular belief, the Evergreen
farm does not receive funding from the
college for basic operations, except for the
manager's salary- we keep things growing
by se lling o ur food, nowers and veggie

Until next time, happy gardening, friends.

Reindeer and Russians
Evergreen summer studies
in Russia's remote far north
Having spent the greater part of their
lives studying the vast array of peoples
and cultures that comprised the former
Soviet Union, Evergreen's two selfconfessed Russophiles, Drs. Patricia
Krafcik and Robert Smurr, discovered
a wonderful means to share their passion
with a wider community. "Why not take
students to some place 'really out there,'
" they thought, "Some place practically
off the map . We have brought Russia to
Evergreen via the program Russia and
Eurasia: Empires and Enduring Legacies
three times in the previous six years,"
they mused. "Now secms Iike an ideal
time to move beyond the walls of academia and head to the wide-open north. ern tundra."
Enter into the picture Dr. Michel
Bouchard from the University of
Northern British Columbia (UNBC).
Pat and Rob had a number of stimulating conversations with Michel after
learning of his five previous anthropological field school research programs
in Russia's remote and ethnically
diverse Komi Republic. One idea led
to another, and soon the three culturevultures conceived of a program' that
would draw upon Michel's previous
experience in the region while simultaneously allowing for an itinerary more
suited to Evergreen students' schedules
and academic needs. It has amounted
to something that all three expect will
morph into a wonderful and lasting relationship between their distinctive liberal
arts institutions.
One of the most astounding aspects
of this program is that all interested
students will be eligible to participate,
legardless of their academic background . Yet because the program will
begin relatively soon (during spring
term evaluation week), interested students should take the initiative and contact either Pat, Rob, or Michel at their
earliest possible convenience . In the
meantime, however, it is fine to dream of
what you will experience as a participant
in this truly unique program . Imagine,

religious practices. Children and dogs

Evergreen students will have the
opportunity to witness this and much
more, for the 2006 Evergreen summer
school will be offering its own program
and associated field school- entitled
Russian Culture and Anthropology- in
the Russian north under Dr. Bouchard's
direction. The Evergreen expedition
builds upon the successes of UNBC's
Circumpolar Ethnographic Field
School. Students will study anthropology methods while learning more about
the culture and history of Russia and its
indigenous peoples. .
Bouchard, an experienced organizer
of field schools in the Russian north,
explains that the scene described above
was perhaps one of the most memorable sights that he has ever beheld in
the Russian north . "In this one event,
students witnessed the rich cultural
mosaic of the Russian Federation,"
recalls Bouchard. " while being able to
analyze the complex social structure
of post-Soviet life in Russia north of
the Arctic Circle . We have the rein deer herders belonging to the Vorkuta
cooperative (formerly a collective farm)
who have their assigned grazing for their
reindeer," notes Bouchard, "while there
also exist the ' wild' Nenets who, unconstrained by the state and the collective
farm, live on the margins, maintaining
their way of Ii Fe and trying to keep fre e
of state bureaucrats and the managers of
the cooperat ive."
Erin Robinson , who participated in
UNBC's field school in 2004 , recounts
the benefit of attending an overseas field
school : "It allowed me to put the methods and theory that I learned in the c lassroom into practice in a real world situation." With a group of students under
the direction of Bouchard, Robinson
traveled to Russia for the first time, not
knowing a word of Russian. Over the
course of the summer, Robinson traveled from Moscow, the Russian capital
and metropolis of 9 million people, to
the Komi Republic, the small northern
Izhma Komi Region, and finally journeyed to the Russian tundra, leaving
both trees and her preconceived notions
of Russia behind. "Before I went to
Russia I simply pictured large cities with
old churches and mafia on each street
corner," she recalls . "Now I unders tand
that Russia is a mosaic of cultures and
peoples . I was stunned by the kindn ess
and generosity of the people that I met
on my trip. "
Robinson is now pursuing a master 's
degree. Though she is not conducting
her fieldwork in Rus s ia. the experien ce
she highlights was a boon to her future
career plans. "Living and working with
a group of students when going through
culture shock is a challenge to say the
least," notes Robinson . "But when looking back, I see the value in the skills I
learned: team-work, research methods,
working with translators, building rapport, and simply' surviving in another
country. "
Though Robinson was majoring in
anthropology, students from a number
of disciplines participated in the field
school. "We have accepted students
from across the board and this has
been extremely beneficial to the field
school," states Bouchard . "It is good to
have students from political science or
environmenta1 studies or Russian studies
discussing and debating points of view.
Each brings his or her unique perspective and it is this interaction that allows
us to break down disciplinary barricrs
and promote dialogue and learning that
is truly Socratic in nature ."
Bouchard notes that he is always
amazed by the change .that he observes
in students over the course of the
summer. "We often get students who
have never traveled out of their home
province," he remarks . "Then over the
summer they learn the basics of the language and acquire the self-confidence
to deal with the challenges of living in
another country. I am proud to say that
many of my former students have gone
off to do graduate work, and I see how
the field school helped them achieve
their goal~."
This summer 's field school will begin
June I I when students wiH fly into
Russia and will end August 2 I when
stude nts will return home. Evergreen
studcnts will need to arrange for evalu. at ion conferences with their spring term
faculty at the close of Week Ten in order
to arrive in Moscow on time for the start
of the program. The main highlights of
the field school include some sightseeing
in Moscow, lectures in Russian history,
Ru ssian culture, and anthropological
methods in Syktyvkar, the capital of the
Komi Republic . Yet perhaps the greatest
highlight will be time spent in the field:
over a month in both the Izhma Komi
region of the Komi Republic , the centuries-old community ofUst-Tsilma on the
shores of the Pechora River, living with
host families along with some camping,
and finally, nearly ten days spent in the
tundra visiting the indigenous reindeer
herders of the Russian North .
"The Izhma Komi are a fascinating
population," notes Bouchard. "Pushing
their way North centuries ago, the hunting, fishing, gathering, and agricultural
Komi came into contact with the indigenous Nenets. Beset by uncertain farming
in this northern climate, they adopted
reindeer herding and they adapted this
practice, turning it into an intensive
business that allowed the Izhma Komi
to 'expand across Russia following their
herds . The successful reindeer herders
th e n tra ve led to the market s of Ru ssia
to sell th e products of herding and to
profit from this trade, and in so doing
d eve loped a rich and vibrant culture
in northern Russia." The region was

by the Revolution, collectivization' during the
Soviet period, and the
economic disarray -that
followed the collapse of
the Soviet Union.
"It is very difficult for
Westerners to picture life
in the Russian north,"
says Bouchard. "It is
hard to imagine how
anybody could survive
on less than .$100 per
month, or even per year.
However, the ingenuity of the lzhma Komi
is astounding . Facing
economic ruin , households acquired cows and
horses and relied upon
their own production to
survive. With logs from
the local forest , families
build their houses using
age-old technologie·s.
Each summer fami lies
go to the forest to collect berries, mushrooms,
and other natural products. Using the milk
from their cows, they
make their own buller
and sour cream, and the
calve.s killed in the fall
provide meat."
The field school has
been working in close
partnership with local
community members to
ensure that the field school conforms to ethical standards and to give something back to the community.
According to Alena Khozyanova who works in the
lzhma Region's Cultural Department, "We are pleased
to see continued cooperation with the organizers of the
field school because this project continues to highlight
theJrnportance of our culture, and we are always excited
to see people WllO come from across the ocean visit our
lzhma region and I>!arn more about our culture and tradition." Khozyanova notes that in the Izhma Region, over
80 percent of the population is indigenous, a fact that has
allowed for the preservation of cultural traditions and
traditional ways of life. Central to this is the worldview
that the local inhabitants have of the environment.
While in the Izhma Region, students will work in
groups to develop a project that they will carry out while
in the field with the help of local interpreters. Projects
are always designed to fit the interests of students.
Students have even designed projects that require no
. prior knowledge of the langu.age. "The project that I
have enjoyed the most was our ethnographic cookbook
project," remembers Bouchard. "Students learn how to
prepare traditional foods and use anthropological methods to record the results. This is participation-observation at its j~riest: learning while doing in the field."
The field school is part of a much longer partnership with the Izhma Komi community. As Khozyanova
points out, "The field school has been a positive push
to increased cooperation as we seek out new projects
that will explore new ideas in what we take to be our
old culture."
The field school has had a positive impact on the
community and has allowed close friendships to develop
between community members and students. "The field
school gives us memories," continues Khozyanova,
"memories that always remain in the hearts of all,
because with such projects are born authentic friendships and authentic interest in the culture, life, and language of indigenous peoples who are trying to preserve
their ways of Ii fe."
Bouchard notes that both students and community
members keep warm memories of the field school experience. Annette Schroeter, one of the first field school
participants who traveled to northern Russian in 200 I,
concurs. "Although there were periods of hardship, it
has so far turned out to be the most amazing adventure
of my life."

Love and 'F aith
in Santiago
By Margaret Flickinger
Chile is a Catholic country. Upon
the arrival of conquistador Pedro de

subjected to Catholic rule. Today,
the innuence of Christianity is
overwhelming-children march off
to school in uniforms , businesses are
s hut down for Good Friday, and a
fureboding statue of the Virgin Mary
looms above the city of Santiago. At
least 70 percent of the country lives
by the Catholic faith. Chile is also
a cuuntry fur luvers . A t every bus

can be seen locked in an embrace .
Of course, such luve abuunding
ca n be quite problematic. The rate
of pregnancy and expusure tu STDs
is growing among C hilean teens . As
Chile enters the twenty-first century,
the country must learn how to balance its Catholic roots With the
concerns of the new era.
Under the reign of God, Chile's
ability to progress has been sti fled by C hristianity, The laws of
Catholicism prohibit premarital sex.
With these laws offaith, theChil ea n
guvernment has bccn pressured by
the C hurch to keep sex education
out of sc hools. According to their
methodolog y, abst in ence is thc only

A New Take on an Old
Favorite in Brazil
By John G. O'Donnell
So another Easter has come and gone in Sao
Paulo, Brazil. The past holiday weekend was filled
with the bounty of sights, sound~ and religious
symbolism that traditionally help to celebrate the
Catholic calendar's most ornate and most important holiday. Good Friday saw parades of believers
trudging along the major avenues of Sao Paulo,
dragging statues of saints and life-size crucifixes
past the !:,'Teasy lunch shops and bingo halls that
decorate the sidewalks. A small minority of the
participants could be viewed in the sometimes
disturbing act of self-inflicted mutilation, using
cat tails of thoms, leather and metal beads to sculpt
deep cuts into their tense backs.
Come Sunday morning the overcrowded cathedrals had forced the latecomers to congregate into
the plazas whcre the hymns and prayers or the
mass (;Qu id only faintly be heard through the old
doors of the massive structure. By a ll apparent
si!:,'I1s Easter in Latin America was following its
expected, time-honored extravagance. But a lillie
digging into the dirt of reality reveals a much dirferent dynamic that sits opposed to spiritual rigor
displayed so openly this past weekend.
The truth is, Catholicism here is in dec line.
T hough 73 percent of the popu lation still proclaims themse lves Catholic, very lew of these
have active, church-g()ing participation. As part
ofthe inevitable over-bearing weight of global iza-.
tion, the tools of a new secu larism have steadi ly
been chiseling away the ed ifice of traditi onal
Ca tholicism. Like declines facing the Orthudox
churches of Russia or Buddhism in Japan, Latin
America is witnessing the worldwide shin away
Irom arca{le dogmatism towards more persona lized, media-minded, and sa lable religious worship.
The Catholic C hurch is not losing members
to a naked atheism, but the new breed of savvy
Evangelism. The same Bible carrying, savvy and
modem Pentecostalism making so mlll:h noise in
the United States is winning the modem religiuus
turf war in the Southern continent. Twenty-six
point two million Brazilians (15.5 percent of the
population) are actively involved in the Evangelist
movement. It is est imated that five new evangelica l churches are lounded every week in Rio de
Janeiro.
Naturally, these Illcts du not sell ie we ll with
the Cath.l,llic administration. During the I 960s and
1970s the Catholic C hurch had a stronghold in
Latin American religion. The politically focused
Liberation T heology saw priests and bishops
cspousing social change during those decades of
intense violence, upheaval and despair. Now the
chuTch has lost that political clout.
Besides perhaps the agrarian refonn group
Movimento Sem Terra, most of the organizing
structures of that powerful progressive era have
either been intentionally destroyed by government
forces, or simply, over time, have lost the enemies
they needed so badly to add fuel to their fire.
The Church now has to take a new approach.
A plethora of web sites, a national televi s ion
station and younger, hip clergy have recently
been deve loped to help counteract the sophisticated marketability of the Evangelists; archaic
organ fugues once played during mass are being
replaced by rock and roll music; issues such as
abortion, homosex uality and politics are bei ng
discussed in on-line c lerl:.'Y-led chat rooms. It is
too early yet to see if the new direction wins back
followers .
There are, uf course, other problems besides
the Evangelists. Imported commercialization of
religious institutions is happening at a very rapid
pace. Once ehurch- and family-focused holidays,
including Easter, are taking the sharp tum towards
the cartoonization so well developed in the Unitcd
States. The Easter Bunny and Santa C laus are nu
longer minor appendages, but the focus of th e
festivities.
Brazil's many African-based religIOns are
also, suprisingly, garnering more and more support . The most ubiquitous of them, Umbanda ,
has developed a new respectability and is nuw
practi ced by g percent of the population . This
ligure, however, doesn't account for the many
participants who mix the symbolism and ntuals
of the deity-based religion with the iconography of
the larger Christian sects. Perhaps these phenom ena speak for the longevity and deep-rootedness
of these popular re li gions.
When I was in Chile last yea r with Jorge
Gi lbert's tield school, I was asking many kids
throughout the cities what their take was on
the Catholic Church. I wanted to know what
kind of role it played in their lives. The answer
was overwhelmingly unifonn. A pair of twentysomdhing young women in a Santiago nightclub
summarized it succinctly: "To us Catho licism is
o ld-Iashioned. It 's ror our grandparents. It only
matters twice a year, Christmas and, of course,
Easter."

Building for the future
An update on Evergreen's Baseball Team
By Kip Arney
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Opening my e-mail one summ er morning
and seeing baseball coach Sean Pres ley
asking who wanted to coach the c lub
baseball program after he graduated. I
entered my name say ing I'd do it ir no
one e lse wanted to ; and 10 and be hold , I
gut the gig. I figured with a senior-filled
roster, twelve out of sevent een to be exac t,
and nine returning players, we couldn't be
worse than last year. Quick refresh, zero
wins , fourteen losses . And ye t some how,
we're on the same path this yea r.
After five games this season, we're
still searching for that fir st win. We've
had tough opponents, as both seri es we've
played were against the country 's top te")')
teams in Western Washington who swept a
three-game series against us back in March
up in Bellingham . And more recently, two
weekends ago when we went down to
Eugene, Oregon, and dropped two of two
to the Ducks. A third game was supposed
to be played but was postponed due to rain
and will be mad e up thi s upcoming weekend when Oregon comes (0 here to pl ay.
So why are we so bad') Wh y do we
have a team collective balling average of
.094? Why can't we find players that can
throw a ball for a stri ke on a co nsis tent
bas is') It 's frustrating but yo u ha ve to louk
at the source, a nd I blame myse lf. Back
during fall quarter you may ha ve see n
flyers around campus notifying peopl e of'
l5aseba ll meetings and practices. That was
my work and then when we did have our
firs t team meeting, the words came out
of my mouth before I could stop them ,

weight class division, Noam Reininger took
bronze, pounding his opponents with rapidfire attacks, letting them know they were
in for a fight. Next, in the heavy weight
division, Harter and Bresnik fought their
way through the opposition, culminating
in a match up between the two lor first and
second where Andrew narrowly captured
first place from his o lder Kung Fu brother.

I didn't give the guys a chance and it seems
to have carried over to the fi e ld .
Mike Anchors and Sam Costell o havc
lfiken over the coaching reins and are trying
to put a more disciplined altitude into the
team but I still see that lack of desire to
play hard in some eyes. But it's not just for

the two-time world champion Bill Hunter.
Andrew Bresnik got his much-des ired
