Evergreen's support of
Clean Energy Production
by CHELSIE PAPIEZ
Campus farm seeks donations after fire
The Organic farm is seeking donations of
equipment after a September 14th fire. The
fire is believed to have been started by arsonists; several dumpsters belonging to residential and dining services were also set aflame.
The farm is currently in use for an academic
program, and is site to such classes as
beekeeping.
The fire leaves the students and other users
of the farm without the tools necessary for the
farm.
Donations of equipment are greatly needed
and encouraged.
Suggested donations include hoes, rakes,
shovels, trowels, wheelbarrows, gloves, and
waxed produce boxes.
At some point in the past week or two, you
may have been squinting at your tuition bill,
scratching your head trying to figure out why
there are so many darn fees and wondering
where they go.
Actually, a good part of those fees you pay
go right back to you in the form of a Special
Initiative Fund for student groups!
The Services and Activities Fee Allocation Board (S&A Board) is a committee of
eleven students-nine voting members and
two non-voting members-whose job it is to
make sure Special Initiative Fund monies are
dispersed in a reasonable way to the groups
who request them.
These groups then use their funding to bring
all kinds of exciting and knowledgable speakers, writers, chefs, and bands to the school
and offer field trips, workshops, and more to
the student body.
These funds also support the Campus Chi!- ~
dren's Center, the Student Activities Office,
the Emergency Student Loan program, and
athletics and recreation at Evergreen.
This year's S&A Board is responsible for
dispersing the Special Initiative Fund and the
one-year budget recommendations for Tier I
and II Registered Student Organizations.
With that said, I bet a bunch of you are
all revved-up and excited to be on the I
Board-right?
Because of this fire, the farm is facing
setbacks.
According to Melissa Barker, the organic
farm manager, all of the equipment used to
grow, harvest, and maintain the farm was
destroyed in the fire.
The damage to the farm also included a
greenhouse, used to incubate plants in cold
weather, and a walk-in cooler, where crops
were stored.
All of the potatoes, apples, and carrots from
the season were destroyed in the cooler fire.
Police services is offering a reward through
the crime stoppers program.

Clean Energy Fair
The Clean Energy Committee is hosting a
"Clean Energy Fair"
When: October 22, 2008 from 12-3 p.m.
Where: Red Square
As we look to the future, we need to start
making smart choices about our energy
needs; that's why Evergreen has been working towards carbon neutrality through clean
energy technology to increase energy efficiency on campus. Come check out what
the Clean Energy Committee has been up
to! There will be student projects on display
and community groups promoting important
clean energy technologies. Our new TESC
electric vehicles will be on display in Red
Square. Learn how you can get involved and
receive funding for your own clean energy
project ideas!
Evaportranspiration and Weather Station: will help Evergreen reduce water
use by sensing the water needs of the playing fields, while providing data on weather
for student use
Bike Lockers: to help promote healthy commuting options and to reduce single ~
occupancy vehicles
;
Solar powered lights at TESC bus stops: to promote bus ridership in the ~
evenings
Electric Vehicles: to replace older gas guzzlers on campus that will specifically
support the new Flaming Eggplant and TESC Parking Services
Solar Array: jointly funded by facilities, a state grant, and CEC; a new solar array
is coming soon to the top of the library that will help offset a portion of the libraries'
energy needs and serve as an educational tool
Biodiesel Production: a student-run production at the Organic Farm helps
produce enough biodiesel from used kitchen oil to fuel the farm equipment all year
Have an idea for a clean energy project? The grant application deadline for Fall
Quarter is October 31, 2008 at 4 p.m. Applications can be found at: www.evergreen.

~
As students, for years we have been leading
the way in sustainability practices but now is
the time to reflect and make a decision about
our clean energy goals. In 2005, students
voted to support a fee of $1 per credit hour to
offset our campus electricity consumption by
purchasing Green Tags through Puget Sound
Energy. Green Tags added an extra fee to our
utility bill to help support renewable energy
technologies in the Pacific Northwest such
as wind, solar, geothermal, and gas created
from biomass.
The fee for ·purchasing Green Tags is
currently utilized in two ways: 90% goes
towards purchasing Green Tags and 10%
is designated for student-designed projects
promoting clean energy technologies on
campus that are either educational or help
to reduce campus energy usage. As of right
now, the tuition fee is exceeding the cost of
the Green Tags, because they have dropped
in price. We now have too much money
designated for Green Tags. What should we
do?
The Clean Energy Committee (CEC) made
up of faculty, students, and staff has been in
charge of helping distribute funds through a
simple grant application process (yes, every
student is eligible!). There are plenty of
options for the surplus funding; including
cutting back the fee to cover just the Green

J: What was the legacy you inherited
when you became Director of Police
Services two years ago?
S: "I think there were some issues involving our vision, a foundation to have our
police officers grow on ... What I was told
when I interviewed every employee here
was, we wanted to be recognized in the
law enforcement community as professional police officers here at Evergreen ...
Accountability and establishing our core
values I think were very important. And
then we've building been (sic) on those
ever since that time. And it's been a very
difficult road too, I have to say, Casey,
because the administrative support to see
something through here has been very
hard .. .It's kind of hard to compete with
the outside world and some of those sala-
ries. One of the biggest concerns I have
is ... retaining employees. What have I got
to offer to keep them here? ... You have to
like it here at Evergreen. You have to be
committed to what Evergreen is."
J: What do you think is the root of the
problems between students and Evergreen police?
S: "It's only a handful of students that
takes probably eighty-percent of my time,
and my officer's time. And I don't believe
a handful of the more radical types - and
I don't even think they're anarchists,
true anarchists; trust me, they're not true
anarchists - but I· don't think that thirty
or forty, out of forty-five hundred ... that
take eighty-percent of my time ... are a
voice of our students ...
"You know what's going to set the tone
this year? - Probably the next protest
down in Olympia. Now, when you've
got equipment coming back from Iraq,
and it's going to be unloaded and the
Stryker brigade is going to transport it to
Ft. Lewis ... And our people go down to
Olympia, and how they get treated when
they protest, when they break the Jaw,
and then they come back here-our few
students that do this-and then they graffiti the heck out of our campus, basically
poop in their own backyard, and treat my
cops like crap because of something that
happened downtown-! don't understand
that. I just don't get it. But that bothers
me, that hurts ...
"If I see a few faculty members who
kind of push some students into these
behaviors that cause the problems, that
kind of bothers me. Because you're very
impressionable when you leave your
home-the first time you're out on your
own, you're independent ... people can
leave an impression on you, and if some
authority figure takes that little mind and
kind of directs it some places ...
"I try to explain it to my officers: these
are eighteen to twenty-two year-olds
we're dealing with most of the time.
They're just kids, they're fresh out of the
house, they're testing the waters, they're
experimenting, they're learning, they're
maturing. And we gotta make a good
impression on them. But they're also
very vulnerable when it comes to people
in positions of power-not cops, but,
like, faculty members that sway them this
way and that way, and they get in trouble
sometimes. I just think we need to be
careful how we do that ...
"I mean, even the guys in the sit-in I
don't think had the support of the student
body, the Geoduck Union or anybody ... !
think this college is very graceful in
allowing them to sit up there for three
weeks ... "

reasonable, or unreasonable?
S: "It was unreasonable ... There were
people in that hallway that needed to
do their jobs, and it was very much an
interference to them. I think .. .it was
very hard on (the vice president) to not
be able to access his office during this
time. His secretary, his assistant, the
student conduct officer, the EF students;
I think they all paid a price for that sit-in.
I really think it was trespassing to take
residency in a hallway up there, I think it
should have been dealt with immediately.
And I don't mean to sound Gestapo-like,
but I think there were better ways of
maybe expressing yourself and the issues
than taking up residency in somebody's
hallway ...
"I think when we allowed it to continue,
once we allowed it, then we were stuck
with it. I think if we sent a message right
from the get-go, 'You need to vacate the
hall, you are trespassing, here's the laws
regarding that, here's what we're going
to do, by this time,' give people lots of
warning, explain what it is. And we don't
have to go in there like a bunch of ninjaturtles and cuff everybody up and strap
'em and throw them in a van, or whatever
you think that is. But we could take time
and say, 'Gosh, guys, here's what it is,
here's what you're violating, here's what
we're gonna have to do. We don't want to
do this, here's your options ... "'
J: Is there such a thing as legitimate
civil disobedience?
S: "I think civil disobedience is healthy ...
(like) legal protesting. Not blocking
streets, not throwing rocks through
windows, not causing disturbances or
whatever; but legal civil disobedience or
protesting I think is a very healthy thing,
and I very much encourage that.. .I think
it's helped shape this nation to what it
is today ... But when you push it to the
extent-and it was done in the south way
back when, I understand that, and some
illegal protesting and civil disobedience
caused change ... that happens too.
"I'm not so sure how necessary it is here
on our campus .. .I don't think people in
positions of responsibility were given
the opportunity to address the concerns
adequately."
J: April Meyers vs. Chuck Norris, cage
match; who's coming out?
S: "Well, obviously Chuck Norris is
probably gonna have the hands; he's
gonna be the stronger, but-strategically
speaking-not necessarily the smarter
one."

Center for Sustainable
Entrepreneurship: A
Monopoly on fun
by BEN ANDERSON
Come check out the student group Center
for Sustainable Entrepreneurship, aka CSE, at
our first meeting of the school year in SEM II
A21 05 at 3 p.m. on September 24. The CSE's
mission statement is to provide a student-run
resource center "where Greeners are inspired
to act" and to develop and promote their
creative business
ideas. The CSE
supports students
interested
in
starting
their
own business by
accessing business resources
and developing
the skills needed
to achieve their
goals. Members from the CSE will be
providing information about the group, how
you can get involved and participate, FREE
POPCORN, and a monopoly tournament.
The monopoly tournament will have limited
space with priority going to freshmen, so
sign up soon by emailing the center at cse@
evergreen.edu. After two hours or so of playing, the player with the most money will be
declared the winner and a prize will be issued
(prize to be determined). Just state your
name and grade level so that CSE members
can res~rve you a seat. If you would rather
play another board game, other games will be
provided to play with no reservations needed.
The other games will include, but are not
limited to, Life, Sea World Monopoly, and
Scrabble. Feel free to bring your own game,
too. In the past, the CSE has had local business owners and Evergreen business faculty
come to their regular
meetings to answer
questions
about
running a business in
a sustainable marmer.
Last spring the CSE
held its first event
titled "Want to start
your own business?".
Members from the
Small
Business
Development Center and Economic Development Center presented information about
starting a business and the free resources
their organizations provide. So if you think
you might want to own your own business
some day or study business at Evergreen,
the CSE is a great place to start. For more

Surviving
on campus:
Sagacious advice from a sophomore
by MADELINE BERMAN
After having spent the previous academic
year living in the dorms at Evergreen, I
thought it would be pertinent to inform
newcomers what campus life is really
like.
Firstly, don't stress about making friends.
Everyone is going through the same transitions you are and they are probably more
scared of you than you are of them.
When it comes to roommates, it is important to communicate directly. Speaking llp
about a problem is much more effective
than passive aggressive silence. If you
feel the need to switch things up a bit and
move in with your best buddy in the next
building over, moving weeks occur on the
third and tenth weeks of the quarter. I can
also guarantee you that it will be impossible to move to a new room during the
first week of fall quarter, since everyone
is still getting settled down, including the
housing department.
The campus provides many services
for the student body's convenience. For
example, laundry machines are located
in both the HCC and the bottom floor
of A-dorm. They don't take quarters, so
you must put money onto cards which are
available in the comer store, which is also
located in the HCC. Also, don't leave
your clothes in the laundry areas for too
long, or else they may be donated to the
free store without notice. How often you
do laundry will ultimately be determined
by how many pairs of underwear you
own.
Aside from the vending machines,
there are several ways to obtain food on
campus. One option is to purchase it from
the cafes in Seminar II and the CAB or
to buy it from the Corner Store. Please

~
KILLS THE MOLD
note that prices for the food at these locations may be higher than those found off
campus. There is also the cafeteria, aka
the Greenery, on the bottom floor of the
CAB. For about $7 you get buffet-style
meal complete with vegetarian and vegan
options.
Freshmen and students with less than 40
credits living on campus are required to
purchase a meal plan. Might I recommend
avoiding the green plan? While providing you with the most Greenery meals, it
lacks variety and most people tire of the
cafeteria food before the meals for the
week are used up.
If something goes wrong with your
dorm, such as a running toilet or broken
window, go ahead and call Residential and
Dining services. I would strongly advise
against calling them to get rid of mold in
the shower. All they can do is paint over
it, which does not fix the problem. Yes,
they will tell you that it is a mold killing
paint, but because they are green and ecofriendly, they must leave out the substance I
that actually kills the mold. Save RAD
services some time and spray diluted
bleach on the affected area instead.
If you can find the link, Evergreen has
a file sharing network.Please use it sparingly. Regardless of whether or not what
you are downloading is legal, large files
greatly slow down the wireless Internet
all over campus.
I hope my article has not left you
newcomers too disillusioned. I wish you
all the best of luck with your time at the
Evergreen State College and please, no
rioting. There was quite enough of that
last year.

Madeline
Community,
I The Cooper Point Journal is your student newspaper. What is meant by 'yours' is that you
can write, draw, take photos as well as volunteer for it. The CPJ accepts articles, reviews,
photos,
comics, poetry, and a myriad of other submissions from the Evergreen community.
I
The CPJ is a learning lab. This means that you do not have to be an expert or prodigy journalism student to contribute to it. Every member of the CPJ works to learn about the various
I aspects
of newspaper production and writing.
The CPJ serves as an open forum for the Evergreen community. It is a place where students can inform other students about important issues as well as discuss and reflect upon
these issues.
The CPJ is an entirely student run newspaper protected by the first amendment, state
I laws, and school policy from administrative and faculty influence. These policies and laws
keep the CPJ a truly student-run newspaper.
I Any student of the Evergreen State College can be a member or contributor to the CPJ.
There are many opportunities for students to get involved with the production of the
newspaper or the student group who puts together the newspaper. There are staff positions
I available, or if you have a busy schedule, you can just come in and volunteer any time.
There are weekly meetings which any student is free to attend.
I Remember there are many ways to get involved with your student newspaper as well as
I many reasons to do so. Come by the office any day of the week to learn more about the CPJ.

A GUIDE TO
EVERGREEN'S
In the woods, there's treehouses, trails and, according
to some local comic strips,
monsters. There's
tunnels
under the campus, and as many
myths and misconceptions
about the college as there are
bricks in Red Square.

You will likely eat in this building at least once. Sorry.
The Greenery, on floor one, and the market, on floor two,
are both owned by Aramark, and both irregularly stocked
with acceptable food.
You might not be able to listen to the campus's community radio station as you eat though, as KAOS 's signal on
89.3 FM can't always be picked up well in the CAB. But
you can go into their office on the third floor, and say "Hey,
I want to volunteer." They'll probably let you. You can also
become a member , get the KAOS membership card, and

Will ai-Bashir Escape Justice for Committing
Genocidal
On July 14, 2008, International Criminal
Court (ICC) prosecutor Luis Morenoacampo issued a request to the ICC's
Pre-Trial Chamber for an arrest warrant
for Sudan's president Omar al-Bashir.
He presented evidence that al-Bashir
unequivocally bears criminal responsibility for numerous counts of genocide,
war crimes, and crimes against humanity
against members of the Fur, Masalit, and
Zaghawa ethnic groups who reside in the
Darfur region of Sudan. Three years after
the United Nations Security Council initiated an ICC investigation of the crisis in
Darfur, Moreno-Ocampo concluded, "The
evidence shows that al-Bashir, instead of
assisting the people of Darfur, has mobilized the entire state apparatus, including the
armed forces, the intelligence services, the
diplomatic and public information bureaucracies, and the justi,_ce system, to subject
the 2,450,000 people living in Internally
Displaced Person's (IDPs) camps, most of
them members of the target group, to. conditions of life calculated to bring about their
to the UN, to stop the deferral of the ICC
investigation into Darfur.
Visit the "Camp Darfur" exhibit in Red
Square on Thursday, October 2nd, and sign
our petition. "Camp Darfur" is an interactive awareness and educational event that
brings attention to the ongoing genocide
in Darfur and is presented by the organization called Stop Genocide Now. You are
invited to attend and learn more about the
genocide in Darfur, and what they can do
to help end it. This exhibit is particularly
effective because it puts the crisis in Darfur
in the context of other historical genocides,
including Armenia, the Holocaust, Cambodia, and Rwanda. Please stop by to see the
exhibit, sign a petition, collect information,
and sign up to get involved with AITESC's
lobbying efforts for justice in Darfur for
the coming 2008-2009 school year.
call of the Arab League and the African
Union to suspend the ICC investigation in
Sudan.
Amnesty International opposes the deferral of this investigation "on the basis that
it allows for political interference by the
Security Council in the important work
of the Court to ensure justice, truth and
reparations for the worst possible human
rights violations : genocide, crimes against
humanity and war crimes." Amnesty International and other human rights organizations maintain that the world community
has not acted swiftly enough to put an
end to the brutal crisis and humanitarian
disaster in Darfur, as it continues to deepen
before the eyes of the international community. The Security Council discussion on
whether to defer the ICC investigation
further protects the al-Bashir administration, and profoundly undermines the efforts
to ensure justice, truth, and reparations for
the victims and survivors of genocide,
crimes against humanity, and war crimes
in Darfur.
Erin Genia, co-coordinator ofAITESC, is
enrolled in Evergreen's Masters in Teaching program.

physical destruction." The judges of the
ICC Pre-Trial Chamber are now reviewing the evidence, and are expected to hold
a hearing soon on whether to approve the
arrest warrant.
Since the ICC prosecutor made this
landmark recommendation, which would
make al-Bashir the first sitting president
to be charged by the ICC, several key
organizations, the League of Arab States,
the African Union, and the Organization of
the Islamic Conference have been working
to stall the investigation. Members of the
African Union and the UN Security Council- in support of al-Bashir's administration -- are attempting to pass a resolution
to suspend the ICC investigation into the
crisis in Darfur. According to a recent
editorial in the Sudan Tribune, the "Arab
League is biased and fully supported the
Khartoum government at all diplomatic
and international forums," and reported
that "representative bodies of the people
of Sudan in Darfur [indicate] that the Arab
League ignored the Darfur crisis." China
and Russia, both member states of the UN
Security Council - who also continue to
conduct business in Sudan - SUJ>port the
After five years of genocidal horror,
including the widespread use of rape as a
tool of war by militias known as the "Janjaweed" and the Sudanese security forces
against women and young girls, and the
unprecedented level of attacks on humanitarian workers tasked with providing basic
services to IDPs, the lack of action to put
an end to the atrocities is astounding. The
United States is not a member state of the
ICC and has worked to limit its jurisdiction. However, the U.S. has demonstrated
support for the ICC's investigation in
Darfur. As a member of the UN Security
Council, the U.S. could play an important
role in stopping the deferral of the ICC
investigation. U.S. Deputy Ambassador
Alejandro Wolff stated that deferring the
investigation "would send the wrong signal
at a very important time when we are trying
to eliminate the climate of impunity." An
overwhelming number of Americans across
political divides want the genocide stopped
and justice for the people of Darfur.
Members of the Evergreen community are
invited, by the campus Amnesty International chapter, to help increase the pressure
on Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador

Who knew danger could be so comfortable?
A look at Dariger Room comics
by CASEY JAYWORK
On a good day, downtown Olympia
can seem less like a stately capital
and more like a spasmodic menagerie
of hyper-culture; as though twelve
muses and a bucket of spray-paint
and typewriters had all been crammed
inside a clown car in flagrant disregard of Washington's seatbelt laws. A
colorful example of this pathological
artistry can be found at Danger Room
Comics on Fourth and Capital (about
three blocks from the bridge).
Outside, a dangling Spiderman mural
and a "Corning Soon" poster beckon
unwary passerby like an army recruiter
with candy. Inside, beaming red walls
and a painting of Godzilla-in-love (by
Lana Blevins, a clerk and daughter
of TESC faculty Jim Blevins) are the
backdrop to an overflowing ocean of
comic books. Seriously-this place
has more comics than the NSA has
dossiers. Sections include superhero,
independent,
alternative,
manga,
GLBT, political and historical, zines,
Comic Book How-To, classic, and
brand new, just to mention a few.
Several major authors have their own
sections, including wiccan anarchist
Alan Moore and Holy-Shit-I-Can'tBelieve-He-Wrote-That hero Garth
Ennis. At the center of it all is a dilapidated yellow couch that you'd swear

tuition fee is exceeding the cost of the Green Tags, oecause they have cropped in
price. We now have too much money designated for Green Tags. What sliould we
do? Made up of faculcy; students, and staff, The Clean Energy Committee has been in charge of helping distribute funds through a
simple grant application process (yes every student is eligible!). There are plenty of options for the surplus funding, including cutting

by LARRY MILTON
When the class of2012
finally walks across Red
Square, meets President
Les Puree for the first
time, and gazes triumphantly into the great
rear-view mirror of life,
the exact same thought will occur to those
disbelieving graduates that has occurred to all
who have (or have not) donned the emerald
cap and gown: What do I do now?
Granted, a large number ofus alums planned,
plotted, and prepared for the oncoming
Mack-truck of reality. We gathered recommendations and filled out applications and
. tossed our keys into the swingers-party bowl
of the working world. Some of us even went
so far as to make arrangements for the day
after graduation. It all seems very reasonable.
But it never forestalls the inevitable: What do
I do now?
Strangely, the now-repeated plea to destiny
provides a cold splash-in-the-face of symmetry. Though many of us forget it now (largely
due to age, wisdom, and the particular
transgressions of the modem age written off
to the euphemism of all euphemisms: experimentation), all of us, sitting alone in a dorm
room, staring intently at all of our worldly
possessions, asked ourselves the exact same
question: What do I do now?
If I had any faith in my old friends at the

to is that Greeners and rednecks just smell

Banned book lists will be banned from

will be required that all students pass a

classes will include a history of gender and

Milton's hit Bravo series, Project Vice
President, he announced that Rose Thornburg would be his running mate. Thornburg is a 49-year-old PFLAG mom from
Wisconsin and a self-proclaimed cougar.
Thornburg won Milton's attention with her
finger snapping abilities and famous lasagna. On top of the lasagna, Thornburg's
foreign policy experience includes two
completed political science classes at a
community college in the late 90's.
Milton and Thornburg are ready to lead
this country and will be honest about their
actions. Unlike the current administration,
they know that before you stick something
in someone's ass, you'd better ask first.
Sincerely,

who disagree with what you believe will
either show you the mistake in your reasoning and, thus, enlighten you, or help you
to better understand why you believe what
you believe by forcing you to defend it. Or,
as usually happens, you'll both make good
points and both make mistakes - meaning
that you both come out of the debate wiser
than before.
The point is that you and I disagreeing
about some belief, even an important
one, is no reason for us to be douche-bags
to each other. Yeah, maybe cops are the
oppressive, racist arm of an evil empire;
and yeah, maybe Greeners are spoiled
stoners who just want to make a scene
for its own sake; maybe Republicans are
uneducated morons, or radicals are naive
political hipsters. But, whoever is right, it
does not follow that there should be any
personal animosity. Treating each other
rudely is a lose/lose situation: Being civil
to other people is valuable for its own sake,
and failing to do so only undermines your
cause by alienating those who disagree
with you.

Dear CPJ Reader,
If you are completely satisfied with how this comics page looks, then this letter won't matter to you except maybe as a
reminder you arbitrarily settle on things that could and should be better. If you think there should have been MORE comics on
this page then maybe you should have SUBMITTED something! Maybe you should have EMAILED a comic to
CPJ@EVERGREEN.EDUI Or maybe, you should have come up to the CPJ Office on THE THIRD FLOOR of THE CAB and been all like, "This
issue's comics suck! My comic is the bee's knees! And dentist jokes aren't funny!" And then I would have been all like, "Too bad! You didn't get
the comic in by MONDAY at 3:00PM!" And then you would have been all like, "Oh. I didn't know that:' Then we would hug it out.
I'll take anything (within reason) and make sure to LEAVE YOUR NAME and THE TITLE OF THE COMIC.
Sincerely,
BRIAN FULLERTON (Comics Coordinator
