1"1 CAB renovation committee
met on Friday with DLR Group, the
architects charged with renovating
the building to discuss the ecological aspects of the new College
Activities Building.
The committee, which consists of
six students and five administrative and staff members, discussed
methods that could be implemented to make the future CAB
as eco-friend ly as possible with
representatives from DLR, the
architecture firm working on the
CAB redesign.
Students in spring 2006 voted
for a new CAB that would satisfy
LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) gold standards, and it was ways to achieve
that certification that the committee
and DLR mused on during an EcoCharrette last Friday."We discussed
what steps to take to get LEED
gold," said Maxime Rene, a CAB
redesign committee member. Rene
also named a few of the techniques
discussed at the meeting, including
green roofs, water runoff collection, and waterless urinals.
Many of the methods used would
be similar to the ones employed
in the Seminar II cluster, such as
utilizing reclaimed wood whenever
poss1ble and motion sensor lights
in all the rooms to reduce energy
consumption.
LEED certification is based on
an 85-point checklist covering all
aspects of abuilding including the
site of the building, the materials
used in the building, energy use,
and cleaning practices. In order
to achieve a gold certification, the
new CAB would have to score a
minimum of 48 points.
At $5.75 per credit, an Evergreen
student taking 16 credits each quarter is paying $276 annually for the
renovation of the CAB, which is set
to be completed in 2010.

Attendance low at Union meetings
by JASON SLOTKIN
The Geoduck Union was created with the
intention of giving students a voice in the
running of the school. The Union holds
weekly meetings that students are able to
attend. However, these meetings tend to
have a low student presence.
The meetings have a time allotted for
students to express their opinions and raise
issues that is not taken advantage of. A small
number of students show up, however, and
only one student used this time to voice his
concerns.
When questioned, Geoduck Union
members had several possible explanations.
"During the governance hours, students
are at other clubs and meetings," said Austin
Mansell, one of the student representatives.
LLTTlJ{~
Another representative, Alexandra Mavrikis, offered an explanation for low attendance by saying that apathy toward issues
and confusion on how to present issues to
the school keeps students away.
Much of the meeting held on October 31
was centered around internal agenda and
issues within the Geoduck Union, such
as stipend distribution and accountability
procedures.
Reagan Harrison, another
representative, blamed the lack of student
presence on these procedural meetings.
"They don't want to hear about the internal
issues,"' she said. "It should be about the
students."
Mavrikis pointed out that the relative
deficiency of more stimulating issues could
be a result of lack of student participation.
According to Mansell, the only students
who come into the offices are ones that
know about the Union and are already
involved. He also noted that the location of
the office created a sort of"physical barrier"
that seemed to keep students away.
Whatever it is that is causing low attendance at the Geoduck Union meetings
seems to remain ambiguous; according to
one representative, it affects other student
groups as well. The Union is working to
get more student involvement. They plan
on holding more town hall meetings, which
will be geared toward making decisions with
a student body presence. The next town hall
is on November 13 at 7 p.m.

Domestic interrogation, national threat
by TRAVIS GREER
State repression against ......---~-,
dissent, against good people,
against those fighting for
justice and liberation is a
known, highly documented,
and extremely obvious fact;
any person who trusts any government is
utterly naYve. The United States is one of
the most notoriously violent nation-states
internationally, and highly undemocratic and
brutal domestically. Many colonialist North
Americans hope to avoid accepting the fact,
often because they benefit from empire and
exploitation. The state victimizes, enslaves,
controls and humiliates the people who pay
w•aiiiL.J
taxes into it, the very people whom it is
supposed to protect as a republic. The case of
the San Francisco 8 reveals the reactionary
and paranoid characteristics of power and
authority, the dangerous nature of hierarchy,
racism, and other frameworks which capitalism creates and maintains ultimately for the
sake of one small group of economic and
political elites.
Members of the Black Liberation Army,
a militant branch of the Black Panthers,
were tortured in 1973 by New Orleans
police officers in the basement of their
station in reaction to the murder of a San
Francisco police officer two years prior. An
account from the San Francisco Chronicle
stated, "A court." found that when the two
-
San Francisco police investigators who
came to Louisiana to interview the three
men were out of the room, New Orleans
officers stripped the men, blindfolded
them, beat them and covered them in
blankets soaked in boiling water. They also
used electric prods on their genitals, court
records show."
The police investigators who tortured the
citizens were working under a program
known as COINTELPRO, a '60s program
created to, in the FBI's words, "expose,
misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize," progressive social movements.

"BEYOND
OCCUPATION"
WITH ...
Two masters ofthe written and spoken word come together, bearing witness to
the violences ofwar and occupation in Iraq and Palestine.
·oahr Jamail will be speaking from his new book, Beyond the Green
Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq. He
is described by Howard Zinn as "a superb journalist," whose reporting "takes us past the lies of our political leaders, past the cowardice
of the mainstream press, into the streets, the homes, the lives of
Iraqis living under US occupation."
Suheir Hammad is a Palestinian spoken word artist, best
known for her award-winning performance in Russell Simmons Presents DefPoetry Jam on Broadway (2003). She has
published three collections: Born Palestinian, Born Black;
Dropso{ThisStory; and ZaatarDiva. Her passionate performance captures cultural resistance to war, occupation,
prisons, racism, dispossession, and gender inequality,
while demonstrating the amazing ability to survive, to
love, and to maintain hope through times ofstruggle.

Jamail to visit Olympia
lndepandentjoumalist speaks out about Iraq
by LINDSAY ADAMS
Would you go from being a rescue
ranger in Alaska to Iraq? That is exactly
what Dahr Jamail did, tired of seeing the
mainstream media sell the war in Iraq to
American citizens. Rather than asking
the important questions he went to Iraq
and spent a total of eight months thus far
reporting on what is. really happening.
An embedded journalist is a reporter
who is attached to a military unit. Jamail,
not wanting to print only what the military approved of, reported from Iraq as an
unembedded journalist. At any given time
"of all Western journalists, only one or
two percent are unembeddcd".
Jamail remembers realizing just how
scarce unembedded journalists are. "At
one point in the summer of 2004 me and
four other American journalists were
sitting in a hotel room together in Baghdad
and kind of laughing because we realized
we were the only unembedded journalists
in Iraq."
Embedded journalists sign a contract with
the military given the military complete
control over the output of the journalist.
The result is news from Iraq that does not
fully encompass the situation. "It doesn't
take a genius to know that what they are
seeing is infotainment and this is why even
the mainstream media today is describing
themselves as being in a full scale crisis.
Newspaper sales are going down the
toilet, television viewership is dropping
away rapidly because everyone across the
political spectrum is seeing this stuff for
what it is, which is just garbage."
Mainstream media would like to make
the American public believe that Iraq
would fall apart if the U.S. military left,
but Jamail saw something entirely different. "Iraq had roughly 27 million people ...
when the invasion was launched in March
of 2003 and it's down below 24 million
now and that is for several reasons: one
that there is over 4 million refugees in
Iraq and these are the most conservative
estimates available. Two million inside
the country and two million outside the
country . . .. Over a million IraCjiS are dead.
... Another 4 million Iraqis arc in dire
need of emergency aid, meaning if they
don't get drinking water, food and medical attention accessibi I ity then they arc at
dire risk for their lives."
To get a perspective of the war that is
not from embedded journalists, go to the
links section. of Jamail's website, dahtjamailiraq.com. Sunday, November 4 at 5
p.m. at Capitol Theater Dahr Jamail and
Suheir Hammad will be speaking about
the violences in Iraq and Palestine.

Volcano fails to erupt,
disappears fron1 campus
by SETH VINCENT
Last week th~ Chemistry Club's volcano
didn't actually erupt, it imploded. Twentyfive gallons of vinegar and 50 pounds of
baking soda were used for this volcano,
and most of it flowed out the bottom. When
club president Mikako Gillespie dove into
the volcano to figure out why the eruption didn't occur as planned, she became
covered in vinegar and scratches from the
chicken wire that was used as a shell.
"There was a baking soda clog," said
Gillespie, "which is why it didn't erupt."

The Chemistry Club is interested in
repeating the experiment, but it would be
difficult for the club to put on the event a
second time. All of the vinegar and baking
soda was donated by area grocery stores,
and the club may not get them to donate the
supplies again, which could cost roughly
$100.
Also, the volcano is missing.
"I don't care if someone took it out and
had fun with it for the weekend," said
Gillespie, "I just want to use it again."
Current rumors about the volcano place
it somewhere in the forest. "I've heard it
was behind the Longhouse and by F Lot,
but it wasn't there," said Gillespie.
Any information about the missing
volcano should be sent to the Chemistry
Club.
"We do want to do it again," said
Gillespie, "but we have to find the
volcano first."

Riley Shiery as an Aquarium!
Shiery is a sophomore enrolled in Introduction to Natural Science who wore a recycled
box decorated with hanging construction
paper fish and various fish tank plants on his
shoulders with a hat of a clown fish (or a

Halloween costumes is that they must be

a light bulb in here like an aquarium light,
had I had more time but this year's been a
little busy for me, so a costume was put on
the back burner."
The inspiration for this testament to last
minute success? His own aquarium, and his
girlfriend's addition of the clown fish hat
hatched the cool idea to be an aquarium.
"The hat is adorable, I love it. I saw a dog
earlier with bat wings and was like, oh I

wish I was that adorable but that's kinda
hard to achieve."
What can we expect from Shiery next
year? "I don't start that process until a week
or two after Halloween. There's a review
process on how this year's costume went,
and then I try to think of what factors of this
costume went well, then I put them into next
year's costume."

OBO ADDY AND OKROPONG BRING THE RHYTHM OF GHANA TO THE EXPERIMENTAL THEATER
by BRANDON CUSTY
The drumbeats of Ghana flowed through
the Experimental Theater last Friday
night. They played an infusion of traditional Ghanaian drum and dance to an
awed audience.
Obo Addy and Okropong drummed and
danced to an entranced crowd. The beating of the drums was the soul of the Earth
emanating throughout the theater. Obo
Addy was the heart of the beat.
He transitioned the group from song to
song telling stories of the songs along
the way. The dancers created swooping
energetic movements in close proximity
to the crowd.
Okropong means eagle in Obo Addy's
native Ga language. The dancer's movement demonstrated an eagle's grace with
swooping movement and intermittent
leaps into the air, often looking at audience members with an eagle's glare.
The audience interaction didn't stop
there. The dancers would lead the audience in clapping and the whole house
shook with the combination of hands and
drums. The music was so inviting that a
small child wandered out onto the floor

and one of the dancers picked her up and
danced with her.
The drumming and dancing performances were not the only engaging part
of the concert.
Space between the songs was filled with
"THE MUSIC GOES
WITH EVERYTHING.
YOU CAN LISTEN
TO IT IN THE
KITCHEN ... OR IN
THE BEDROOM."
Obo Addy's slow drum rhythm accompanied by stories of the upcoming song.
He told the story of the rain song of one
of the peoples of Ghana. There was a
long drought and the solution called for
the men to dress in women's clothes and
it will rain.
BRA N DO N CLIST Y
The dance was a recreation of that dance
that called for the wearing of lipstick, but
Addy said, "I didn't like that lipstick part
... we cut that lipstick part." The sounds
of the hand drums, stick drums and other
instruments thrilled the crowd throughout the show.
At the end of the concert Addy introduced the crowd to the rest of the talented
group, a few ofthem his own relatives.
The group played a constant rhythm
while each member got up and danced.
The applause erupted when Addy himself
got up to dance and the show ended soon
after, but not before he reminded the
crowd to stay for the reception and buy
a CD.
"The music goes with everything in the
kitchen ... in the bedroom," Addy mused.
The reception was crowded with hungry
Greeners crowding around, talking to
each other and congratulating the group.
Someone in the crowd said of the show
"It was way too incredible to anticipate."

Brandon Custy is a sophomore currently

Say Anything came out with their second
two-disc CD last Tuesday. The album is
called In Defense of the Genre. They start
out with the album with "Skinny, Mean
Man." This song is a hardcore-emo lyrical
type of song. "You awake from the grave
that he dug I Pulsing, boiling, angry blood I
Well aware that I'm falling in love." Most
people would describe it as emo, but still
it's quite funny.
On the third song off the album, they
have really funny lyrics. "Horrible,
you're... I So easy, talk sleazy I
You led me off the plank and left me
queasy I And that is why I You can't rock
my world." This song is very catchy.
Compared to their older style of music.
there is a noticeable difference between
them. This album is more intense lyrically
and musically. An example of a good song
done wrong by Say Anything would be
"This is Fucking Ecstasy." The song had
a really catchy tune and great band melodies, but the last 20 seconds made the song
not worth it. They would have done great
leaving out the last twenty seconds, which
consisted of a lot off-words that seemed to
be put in there just to cuss.
They start to do a better job of playing like
they used to- which people loved- in their
.. . Is a Real Boy ... Was a Boy album with
"Baby Girl, I'm a Blur." This song consists
of great lyrical melodies and a solid drum
part as well of the simple little guitars in
the background.
Most of their songs sound the same
though. Say Anything does have a couple
good songs in their albums but still most
of their songs sound the same, the same
lyrics, same ideas, same drums, and same
singing style.
The title track can be found on the second
CD of the album. It reminds me of their
song "Admit" it from .. .Is a Real Boy. It
features some smart lyrical stands as well
as some major words being said just to
show their anger.
Say Anything's slower songs are much
easier to understand and are much more
able to listen too. "The Truth is, You
Should Lie with Me" is a great example of
a slower song that is really good and you
are able to sing along with them .
"They make me want to turn them off,"
says Venus Oppenheim as I asked her
about what she thought of Say Anything's
new album .
Say Anything did not reach my high hopes
of making a great follow up CD after their
... Is a Real Boy ... Was a Real Boy. There
is no way they could top their two songs
"Wow, I can get Sexual Too," or their
"Alive with the Glory of Love."

The words written in the program
spearheaded by longtime FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, a notorious
right-wing upper class militant, were
just euphemisms for the countless

for over 30 years already.
lfthe case goes the way the state
. hopes it to, a new moral and judicial
precedent will legitimize torture
domestically as a way to extract
confessions from the oppressed.
The COINTELPRO we knew in
the 1960s - that which destroyed
so much hope for liberation and
abused so many - has obviously
not ended.
With proud followers of Hoover
in high positions of executive/
economic. power, such as Paul
Wolfowitz and John D. Negroponte
it has snowballed, and with billions
invested every year, techno- fascism
is on the horizon, if not already
here. The history of power utilizing
technology to control populations
and the fight against such violent
oppression by the people will
progress in utter and brutal chaos.
Examples include: COINTELPRO,
ECHELON (a global communications spy system and Carnivore, a
program analogous to wiretapping
but specific to communications
such as emai Is and ·text messages),
Project MINARET (an extensive
watch list of politically active
citizens), Magic Lantern computer
technology (logs and databases
personal keystroke and computer
activity to RFID chips - radio
frequency identification chips that
track and label whatever they are
attached to), and Closed Circuit
Television. Power is watching.
Power is paranoid .
In his book, War At Home, Brian
Glick explains, "The persistence
of such operations can be fully
explained, however, only in terms
of their value to economic and
political elites."
Seeing how these obviously
false charges have resurfaced and
how confessions which in no way
can be taken seriously are being
considered by a supposedly 'just'
court, we must, as citizens of a
supposedly democratic nation,
resist the rising elements of fascism
within this country. Opposition
to injustice within this society
must be organized cohesively and
seriously. Those on the other side
- the Hoovers, the Rumsfelds, the
colonialist, Eurocentric powers
working against movements for
radical social change - are obviously militant, brutal, reactionary,
and unforgiving.
The subjugation of social activists
fighting for good change by.~~s state and any state is extensive,
documented and telling about
who is making an impact, and
how the state hopes to minimize
threats before they become too
powerful through intimidation and
inhumane, sickening brutalization.
The undemocratic coercion and
violence that members of the Black
Panther Party/BLA and almost all
social movements witnessed in the
1960s and 70's has carried on into
today.
The case of the SF8 gives us a
chance as people concerned with
changing the state of the world
to stand up and say that we have
a right to work for liberation. We
have a right to do more than boycott
grapes, march in the streets, and
publish radical literature, and we
have the right to be considered as
legitimate. His-story?
More like OUR story has brought
us here, the struggle of people
against power, the oppressed
against the oppressor, and we
must continue struggling no matter
what, because we know, as Gandhi
said, "First they ignore you, then
they laugh at you, then they fight
you, then you win."
We can win, usher reactions,
expose the system for what it is.
So let's stop fighting amongst
one another and confront the real
·enemy.

..... .
Get pissed at those in power, not those that oppose it
by NICKY TISO
Vandalism, in a society
that savors private property and the beauty of
grey walls, is bad. Recent
controversy has
been
ignited by the widespread
anarchist graffiti that has been sprayed
throughout campus .
I will use this issue to highlight what
I see to be as part of an even larger
problem: that any form of activity that
strays from the confines of standardized
behavior of consuming or producing
becomes subject to vehement scrutiny by
our peers, whereas the much larger and
atrocious actions taken by institutions,
corporations , or something beyond our
student body is rarely critiqued to such
a high degree.
The anarchy scrawlings on campus is
an issue of misrepresentation, and so
the problem docs not fall on anarchists
hut on the non-anarchist audience who
interprets their symbols. The reader is
the producer of meaning, not the author.
Therefore, if you immediately respond
to seeing a circled A by connecting it
to some ignorant Hot Topic shopper
who just bought a can of paint from
their mommy and wanted to be badass,
then that's what your mind created, but
does not necessarily mean that was the
intention of the author, however much
you assume it. If anything, the fact that
a circled A could immediately trigger
such a negative reaction of mockery and
anger is testament to how controlled our
minds are by the definitions created by
the commercial market.
We've probably all heard the line,
--communism only works on paper!"
when the politics of communism are
discussed. This is a stupid line, usually
generated from an ignorant mouth that
does not cnrc to go beyond that very
sentence and see exactly what that means
or why. It is a conditioned response put
in place by the status quo to disembowel
critical thought and prevent any questioning of existing power structures from
taking place. This is done with the intention that what is not addressed may go on
functioning, and so the ruling class may
continue to rule.
With an A, it's the same issue. Rather
than drawing a line from the symbol
itself to what the symbol may realistically
denote, one gets trapped in immediately
attaching it to Hot Topic, to something
stupid, childish, foolish, etc. This is the
reflection of a commercialized mind
that interprets symbols and objects on
the basis of a mainstream, non-critical
thought; a thought that is much more
an external, societal programming than
an authentic thought. The real issue
shouldn't be why some fool decided to
write an A, but why everyone is hating on
this A without question, almost as if the
hate is spontaneous.
I see the essence of capitalism working
through other people's mouths - the individuals are speaking the mindset of the
corporation. The beaurocrat's distaste
of any opposition has been implanted
on our taste buds, and the language of
the revolution has been redirected to a
language of commodities.
To attach an A to Hot Topic is because
the symbol has been commodified, coopted, assimilated - whatever you want
to call it - to be removed from its radical origins and function as a material
product. This has been achieved through
corporations' successful, psychologically manipulative marketing schemes
that can now usc the A to represent but
another lifestyle-ist option, one of many
fashions, a buyable identity for a punker
to pick. But that is not the real A, that is
the corporate A, and so to assume every A
is a reflection of this corporate definition
is to reinforce its solidity in retaining a
strictly commercialized context.
Anyone who immediately mocks an A,
in most cases, is acting out the conditioned behavior that capitalism loves to
sec. First, you reduce capitalism's archenemy, anarchy (which is a very existent,
historical threat to the authority of the
elite) to a laughable idea. (Ah yes, how
funny a world without classism, sexism,
racism, hierarchy, and wage labor would
be!) And secondly, your mind operates
on the corporate wavelength of connecting it to its commodified definition. You
have it locked in the very stereotype they
want you to lock it in, so its threat of
actuality can be neutralized and replaced
with a product that one can choose to
accept (buy) or laugh at (not buy), but
by no means will any critical questioning
take place. By no means will the public
discourse revolve around the politics of
capitalism and anarchism .
By no means will the word "capitalism"
be uttered despite it being the single most
defining word of every aspect of our lives.
By no means will we say, "That in a world
of economics and an illusion of morality,
capitalism is the hand that guides us,
that shapes free trade policies that affect
Latin Americans, that produces systematic wars to secure natural resources or
give major industries the boom they need
to continually profit, that sets the focus
of life on technological efficiency over
living a satisfying existence."
By no means will we ever say, "It is
capitalism that gentrifies, that clear cuts,
that pollutes oceans with oil and drags
nets across seaftoors, that stockpiles
nukes, that invades. occupies, destroys,
re-writes history, lies, bombs, enslaves,
commits genocide, that expands infinitely
with skyscrapers surrounded by slums,
that pumps out identical honeycombs of
workers to live in and watch entertainment flicks before waking up with help
from caffeine and an utter detachment
from nature."
By no means will we say, "It is capitalism that shapes this world in its image,
and in this grand picture we are but little
appendages to help move the invisible
machine along, and all we sec· are tread
marks - the proof of its destruction in
nearly every realm of what life should
be."
We may blame George Bush for the
war, we may accuse isolated instances
and players within the system, we may
push for reforms and we may vote, but
we may never unravel the strand of each
thread and let it lead to the bigger picture
- an accusation of the system itself, for
the system is an infallible, unspeakable
entity! A God we do not worship' It is
almost as if ... as if ... this system didn't
exist?
That is how brainwashed the populous
is, and shows the success in capitalism
lies in its totality, its ability to swarm our
every sense and method of comprehension to function on its terms and therefore
make questioning it, let alone identifying
its structures, very, very difficult. We
are blinded by capitalism because it is
all we see, and so when something other
than capitalism appears, when someone
tries to introduce an alternate frame of
discourse to the public, it immediately
gets disregarded on the basis of not being
capitalist. Though this reasoning may
not be conscious, that is all the reasoning
that is required.
The issue is the frames of discourse we
communicate within, how we are so critical of these meager campus taggings, so
eager to jumr on the pissed offbandwagon
when everyday Aramark still exists in
our cafeteria as a food service monopoly
that serves sub-standard food, donates to
the Republican Party, and caters not just
to prisons, but to the prison industrial
complex. I don't hear nearly as mu ch
talk about the kops patrolling campus
with pistols, nor do I hear anything about
the Evergreen Foundation giving money
to corporations such as Caterpillar th at
profit off of murder. Maybe you haven't
even heard of these issues before, which
is precisely reminiscent of what I've been
saying. We bicker amongst ourselves
over inner-movement conft icts or peer
vs. peer issues when we should be uniting
our efforts against the real enemy. These
issues, the real issues, are trivialized, or
reduced to a cause a specific activist can
dedicate oneself to, if that's what he or
she fee4s I ike getting obsessed about, but
never should the public feel obligated
to discuss such issues, and when we
do, it's uncomfortable. It doesn't feel
good to con front power structures; it is
an uphill battle, like salmon swimming
upstream. It's icky and messy and words
stick to your fingers and you can't shake
them ofT but eventually you do, and it's
liberating.

Toward a free student union
b_y B~ENDAN
MASLAUSKAS DUNN
Last spring, students
at Brown University in
Providence, RI banded
together and decided to
form a student union.
A student government
already existed but the
general apathy expressed by students at that
school and their refusal to participate in the
student government gave some students
the idea to create a decision-making body
that was more effective and more empowering than the student government. That
structure soon became the Student Union
of Brown University, which is open to
all undergraduate and graduate students
at Brown. The purpose of the Union is
to act as a negotiating body and is a ~ool
for collective bargaining. Essentially, the
Union brings concerns and demands from
the student body at large to the university
and the administration. Students meet in a
General Assembly (GA) where any Union
member can bring Forth proposals that the
entire Union of students discusses and
can make decisions on. The Union cuts
through bureaucracy and acts as an outlet
for students to directly confront problems
that affect them, whether it is tuition hikes,
administration transparency, or university
involvement with the prison/military
industrial complex.
Last year nearly 150 students met at
the first GA for the Union at Brown
during finals week. Currently the Union's
membership is almost at I,000 at a school
roughly the same size as Evergreen. This
stands as an amazing feat considering the
apathy at Brown. A !though the project
started through the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) chapter there, the
organizing committee and union membership are mostly non-SDSer. Currently there
are other student unions forming at schools
across the country with the simple demand
that universities should be under the control
ofthose who are most affected by them.
Recently, a group of students has been
meeting at Evergreen to discuss the forma-
tion of a "Free Student Union" (FSU).
The idea parallels the one at Brown but
Is also entirely organic and separate from
that Union. The students involved with
the initial planning of the FSU have been
researching student unions that exist in
Europe, the Middle East and most notably
in Quebec where in 2005 student unions
led a successful general strike in March
when the government changed over $100
million of grants and student aid into loans
with interest. Evergreen students have also
been keeping in touch with student union
organizers at Brown for advice.
The idea of creating an FSU at Evergreen
is quite simple. Although a student government already exists at Evergreen, the idea
of having an FSU is to have students make
collective decisions and, if necessary,
collective action to enforce their demands
on the university. The FSU will be the
actualization of participatory democracy
in a system where students have little to
no say in the decisions that have a direct
impact on us. The FSU will be, to borrow
the term from the labor union the Industrial
Workers of the World, "one big union"
open to all students at Evergreen. Instead
of meeting in "town halls," which usually
implies meeting in a participatory manner
to address people's concerns in a hierarchical system, students will meet in a GA,
which acts independent from and parallel
to the existing system but operates in a
more direct manner in delivering students'
demands to those who hold all the power.
In the face of tuition hikes, our university's
involvement in the prison/military industrial complex and Evergreen's lack of
accessibility to the community at large, an
FSU may be the only thing where student
power can change this institution.

enrolled in Marxist Theory and a member

FSU, contact him at mas/auskas@riseup.

MEl\l'SAND WOMEN'S BASKETBAIJA
Inaugural alumni ganie a success
by DAVID RAILEANU
MEN'S SOCCER
The Geoducks ended their season on
a high note, winning both games this
weekend by a combined score of 12-1.
On Friday, the men defeated Northwest
Christian College by the greatest margin
of the season. The seniors were honored
before their Saturday game, in which
they blanked the Corban Warriors. The
Geoducks finish 7-10-1 overall and 6-7-1
in the Cascade Collegiate Conference.
VOLLEYBALL
Northwest Christian defeated Evergreen
Saturday night at the Green house,
30-22, 30-14, and 30-17. The unrelenting Geoducks lose their sixteenth of
the season, despite double figure kills
by Kandice Gleaves and 19 assists and
I 0 digs for Katie Huston . The ladies in
green are back in action this weekend,
taking on Eastern Oregon for the second
time this season Friday night at 7 p.m.
Notable Evergreen alumni and the
current rosters for the 2007-2008 men's
and women's basketball teams met this
Saturday for the inaugural alumni game.
The event, a lready a tradition for both
soccer and volleyball , celebrated ten
years of basketball at Evergreen.
"We just looked up and realized this
was the tenth anniversary of basketball ,"
sa id Evergreen Director of Athletics
Dave Weber. " We figured if we're going
to start one, why not start it now." The
game brought back alumni from every
year of basketball's existence, including
members from Evergreen's only championship team, the men of 2002. A total of
24 former basketball players participated
to the delight and enthusiasm of the
roughly 300 in attendances.
The women got the day started, tipping
off just after noon . Back to take on this
year's team were Heather Johnson '0 I,
Rachel Ross '06, Dalia Gomez '06, Toni
Jones '03, Caty Sporleder '01, Alicia
Riddle '04, and Shiante Reed '04.
Coach Monica Heuer's Lady Geoducks
struck first , setting a tone for the rest' of
the game. It featured solid performances
by the '07 roster, but alumni standouts
Gomez and Riddle kept the game interesting. Last year's leading scorer Jennifer Solberg hit a big three during the first
half, but junior Kristi Auckland hit twice
from beyond the arc, leading all ' 07 scor-
ers. Gomez led the alumni with 12, but
this year's lineup proved to be too much
for the undermanned alumni squad. Final
score: 68-39, Lady Geoducks.
Evergreen's all time leader in scoring,
steals , assists, and three-pointers, Trelton
Spencer, returned for the men's alumni
game, which began immediately followin g the women's game . He was joined by
"EVERYONE'S ROLE
IS IMPORTANT," SAID
COACH DRINKWINE
AFTER THE GAME.
17 members of every Evergreen men 's
basketball team, from Troy Torbert '98
to Walter Tucker ' 05. They were coached
by the only man to" lead the Geoducks
to a conference championship, Greg
Johnson .
Such significant numbers allowed the
alumni to substitute liberally, getting
all of their players into the game and
delighting all.
Spencer continued his tradition of
excellence, leading the alumni in scoring
going into the half with I 0 points. The
'07 squad, however, balanced a deadly
passing attack with 3-point ac.curacy
to . lead at halftime, 53-32 . Coach John
Drinkwine commented after the game that

BASEBALL
The Boston Red Sox defeated the
Colorado Rockies 4-3 Tuesday night in
Denver to become World Series Champions. This is the second championship
for Boston in four years. After the game,
third baseman Mike Lowell was named
Most Valuable Player of the series ....
Former Seattle Mariner Alex Rodriguez
has decided to opt out of his contract with
the New York Yankees, forfeiting the rest
of the salary left over from his thenlandmark deal with the Texas Rangers,
which would have netted him $262m over
ten years. He attributes his decision in
part to the unceremonious non-renewal
of manager Joe Torre's contract.

This past Saturday, Evergreen Crew
kicked ofT its 2007-2008 season at the
Charlie Brown Regatta at Lewis & Clarl-.
College in Portland. Other teams at the
regatta included the University of Puget
Sound, Pacific Lutheran University,
Willamette University, and Portland State
University. Evergreen took the gold medal
in the women's novice four event, beginning a promising season for the team. If
you'd like to come out and support the
crew, the next race is the Head of the Lake
Regatta on Sunday November II. The
event will begin at 8 a.m. in Seattle at 910
N. Northlake Way. Details and directions
at www.EvergreenCrew.com .
he was looking to see how well the team
cooperated on the floor. After the shakeup of last season, the first-year coach has
estab li shed an early philosophy of teamwork among his mostly rookie team.
Turnovers, rebounding, and players who
have let the years catch up with them
caused the alumni to sta ll , ultimatel y
losing the game 101-70.
After the official game, the alumni and
this year's team decided to keep the fun
going. They put another ten minutes on
the clock and continued in a street-ball
fashion, pl ay ing without officials or a
shot clock. The alumni won the overtime,
26-15
Senior guard and forward Marcus Whittaker and junior Nicholas Moore finished
the game with 22 and 15 points, respectively. Coach Drinkwine has worked with
Moore since his high school career and
looks to him to be a leader on the team ,
though emphasised the importance of
teamwork.
"I think everyone's role is important,"
said Drinkwine. In the presence of
Evergreen's most successful team , he
defined his expectations as meeting and
exceeding the 2002 team 's mark. "We
want to put another banner on that wall,"
Drinkwine commented, referring to the
CCC champions banner hanging over the
Green House .
