New welcome sign
GSUUpdate
by MADELINE BERMAN
to be rebuilt
AFTER ITS RECENT COMPLETION, WORKERS AT THE COLLEGE HAD TO DISMANTLE A NEWLY
BUILT WELCOME SIGN NEAR THE ROUNDABOUT. PAUL SMITH, DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT
OVERSEEING THE PROJECT, SENT AN EMAIL TO THE TESCRIER MAILING LIST. IN IT HE WROTE
THAT THE SIGN WAS BEING DEMOLISHED BECAUSE OF "BAD CONCRETE." FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS STORY CHECK WWW.COOPERPOINTJOURNAIL.COM.
At this week's Geoduck Student Union (GSU) meeting, the
GSU were able to approve several proposals that have been
on their agenda for weeks, including creating a statement
against Evergreen Police Services receiving AR-15 rifles, as
well as try utilizing an internet chat room for a more efficient
discussion.
Since late fall quarter, the GSU representatives have been
trying to reach consensus about creating a statement about
their stance on the rifles. This topic has created divisions
between representatives, not only about how the statement
should read but also whether or not to make a statement at
all.
After several hours of compromises and continued discussion on this topic, the representatives reached agreement and
the proposal passed.
Though this week's meeting followed spring quarter's trend
of focusing mainly on the anti-rifle statement, the GSU was
also able to approve a bylaw concerning the process of how
to fill empty representative seats, as well at appoint their
election's commissioners. With the appointment of Marie
Scarey & Evan Williamson, the GSU will be able to begin
organizing the election for next year's representatives, which
is slated to occur in five weeks.
Randal Hunt, GSU representative and facilitator for this
week's meeting, introduced use of an internet chat room in
order to allow reps to make comments throughout the meeting without needing to wait for others to speak before them.
All of the comments were typed from individual's laptops and
projected onto a screen at the front of the room for everyone to
see. While this allowed representatives to express themselves
at their discretion, it was commented that it was difficult to
follow both the spoken discussion and the one on screen,
partially because comments about the spoken conversation
were typed about and vise versa.

On March 7 we, the members
of the Services & Activities Fee
Board gathered to work through
the Tier I biennium budget allocations. Once approved by the Board
of Trustees these allocations would
fund various operations on campus
providing benefits and resources to
the students.
Services & Activities (S&A) fees
are gathered from tuition paying
students each quarter as an item on
your college bill. Those fees then
go on to fund in part or in whole,
student organizations and resources.
Students fund the Office of Sexual
Assault Prevention, KAOS Radio,
the College Recreation Center,
Athletic Programs, the Childcare
Center, the Cooper Point Journal,
S&A Productions, various student
initiated activities, clubs, events,
and now the student cafe The Flaming Eggplant.
It is through such fees that non-
academic activities, speakers,
musical acts, and various events
are brought to the campus. It is also
with such fees that organizations
are funded which enrich the student
life of students and knowledge and
resources are provided on campus.
On that Saturday we evaluated an
increase in the amount of money
requested by groups, an increase in
the number of organizations asking
for funding, and a decrease in the
expected funds available. Throughout our evaluation our task was to
make choices about what would get
funded based on perceived value to
the student body and feedback from
students, including the S&A survey
results. We made choices which we
hope and believe will prove to be
beneficial to our campus. We have
created this letter to share with all
students some of the decisions and
our reasoning behind them.

Bud! 1et update
A forum was held on April 9 to update the
campus about the latest information regarding the budget. A panel of administration
working with the budget was present to
answer questions and take comments from
the audience. The panel included Steve
Trotter, Executive Director of Operational
Planning and Budget, Sara Pederson,
faculty librarian, Art Constantine, Vice
President ofStudentAffairs and Don Bantz,
Academic Provost. The meeting was facilitated Ben Anderson, a student member of
the budgetary planning committee.
According to the panel, The Evergreen
State College is now estimating a tenpercent net budget cut. This means a reduction of around ten million dollars during
the next biennium. This budget takes into
account the assumed tuition increase of
seven percent.
Spending has already been scaled back
since last summer, but the college is
continuously looking to decrease expenses
and increase revenue. Those working with
the budget are open to suggestions and
welcome new ideas to help cut costs at
Evergreen.
More information about the budget can
be found at www.evergreen.edu/budget/

LETTER,ftom cover
We are glad our budget recommendations include continued full funding for
the Office of Sexual Assault Prevention
and KAOS Radio at their current levels.
S&A was funded at the fully requested
level with a lower administrative cost
overall and an expected actual increase
in the amount of funds that students
should be able to directly access next
year through Special Initiative Requests.
We are glad that more money will be
available directly for student initiated
events and activities since we have seen
some student requests lose funding this
year due to a lack of available money.
The Childcare Center, which requested
new funds, will see a new teacher. This
will allow better care for the children
and more opportunities for student workers to learn from their time at the center.
The request for a new teacher was one
that our survey provided a great deal of
support for in written comments.
In what was one of our most difficult
choices, we increased some of the funding to Athletics and Recreation while
cutting a small amount of funding for the
Wilderness Center. The center was inactive for all of last year, with no drafted
plans for next year, so it seemed a reasonable cut and afforded us the ability to
maintain the current level of student jobs
at the CRC as well as allowing continued
support for CRC resources which are
used. New cardio equipment, another
student concern, will also be evaluated
as a separate proposal and should address
much of the student concern over old
cardio machines.

Israel? Palestine?
What the heck?
Student and Academic Support Services
(SASS) requested S&A funding for the
first time ever from the Board and was
turned down. While we agree that SASS
is a valuable resource, S&A fees are not
for academic purposes. Such a change
would open the door for a long line of
requests and likely years of S&A fees
being used for a purpose other than what
they are intended for. This is a burden the
students should not have to carry.
A change that we did find to be in line
with the purpose of S&A funding, as well
as being highly supported by students,
was the decision to allocate operational
budget funds to the Flaming Eggplant
Cafe. The funds will allow the Eggplant
to secure a full time manager and help
the Eggplant run throughout the next two
years. According to student feedback,
most students see the Eggplant as a valuable addition to the campus and in line
with student desires.
In order to balance the student desires
and expected shortfalls in funding we are
also evaluating the possibility of a small
increase in S&A fees. This consideration,
being weighed by the Board, made up of
students was only arrived at after serious
discussion. Before deciding on such an
increase, we will be asking for student
input in a forum and talking with students
more about the reasons for considering
an increase.
The S&A Board works to use your fees
appropriately and enrich the life of the
students. Let us know what you think.

Chernobyl and the future of
nuclear power
by JOHN PERKINS
Sunday April 26 marks the 23rd anniversary of the worst
industrial accident the world has ever known: the 1986
explosion and fire at the Chemobyl nuclear power plant in
the former USSR, now Ukraine. Three Evergreen academic
programs (Energy Matters, Russia and Eurasia, and Evergreen Singers) will sponsor a commemoration of this tragedy on Thursday April23 . It is free and open to the public.
Dr. Scott Davis of the University of Washington will talk
on the health problems caused by Chemobyl at 3:30p.m. iri
Lecture Hall3. Thomas Johnson's film, The Battle ofChernobyl, will start at 5:30p.m. in the Recital Hall, followed
by the Evergreen Singers performing a portion of Roman
Hurko's Requiem for the Victims of Chernobyl. Chuck
Pailthorp will be the soloist.
After Chemobyl, and the earlier accident at Three Mile
Island, the United States and many other countries stopped
building new reactors. Even so, the U.S. currently produces
about 20 percent of its electricity from 104 plants. Climate
change and insecurity of oil supplies have recently reignited
a surge of interest in new reactors.
The question is, "What does Chemobyl have to do with
this renewed interest in nuclear power?" Did the accident
happen at a badly designed plant, the likes of which the world
will never build again? Did the nuclear industry learn a real
lesson about safety, and are current plants safe enough? Or
does Chemobyl indicate that nuclear power inherently will
always pose a danger, either from catastrophic release of
radiation or from having nowhere to put the waste?
Consider a few more details about the accident: Reactor
number 4 at Chemobyl suffered a huge explosion and fire,
and the burning reactor spread a cloud of radioactive debris
across many parts of Europe. One report estimates that over
40% of the continent is contaminated with cesium-13 7 from
this accident.
Thirty-one firemen and other emergency workers and possibly 25,000 clean-up workers died from the accident. Also,
generally acknowledged are substantial increases in thyroid
and other cancers in
the heavily contaminated areas. Still in
dispute is the ultimate
death toll from cancer
and other illnesses. A
British scientist estimates that the deaths
from cancer in all of
Europe will likely fall
between 30,000 and
60,000 people. Most
of these deaths will be
in Western Europe.
Economic and political damages were also
far reaching. Pripyat,

early 1970's, housed
the workers and fami- THE CHERNOBYL REACTOR, COVERED BY A

station. It was a good
place to live, home
to about 50,000 people.
Today it sits as ail eerie ghost town, the concrete buildings
slowly on their way to rubble and dust. Hundreds of thousands of people had·to leave their homes in the "Exclusion
Zone," essentially forever.
Chemobyl was one factor leading to the collapse of the
Soviet Union. For Americans to grasp the accident, imagine
Rhode Island evacuated and uninhabitable. The Exclusion
Zone is about the size of our smallest state.
The choices on energy confronting individuals and countries today are not easy. President Obama has strongly
endorsed the need for efficiency, renewable alternatives, and
a reworking of the U.S. energy economy. A major question
facing him, the Congress, and all citizens is whether nuclear
power will be a part of the new energy system.
If faced with a true dichotomy-tum on the nuclear switch
or freeze to death in the dark- it would be hard not to tum on
the switch. But this dichotomy is false: other choices exist.
The world cannot afford another Chemobyl. We may have
more Rhode Islands, but they are too precious to sacrifice on
the nuclear altar.
We invite people to the commemoration of the 23'd anniversary. This is a good place to start delving into some of the
hardest issues facing Evergreen students and all Americans
as they look to the future of energy.
Pictures with this article were taken by a 2007 Evergreen
class that traveled to Ukraine and talked with a wide variety
of people about Chemobyl and nuclear power. A similar
course is offered for Summer 2009, "Chemobyl and the
Future ofNuclear Power."

What's up willa the Fllunlng EggplantJ
by THE FLAMING
EGGPLANT EMPLOYEES
Nights:
We're open at night! 4-8 p.m. MondayThursday, Come get delicious food even
later!
Budget:
We applied for and received funding from
the S&A Board for a full time staff person
and three student coordinators to see to the
long term health of the Cafe. We will be hiring
for a staff person over the spring and summer
and are accepting applications for people
interested in being coordinators right now. We
need a financial, office, and kitchen coordinator. Email jobs@theflarningegplant.org for
more information.
A Collective within a State Institution:
Through some turnover, more and more
employees have stepped into bigger roles,
like hiring and firing, employee relations,
ordering, scheduling and finances. Because
so many of our employees are involved in the
inner workings of the Cafe we have become a
stronger collective and have been able to use
the consensus process more effectively. We
are excited to have employees that care and
want to be part of the visioning of the Flaming
Eggplant.
Volunteers:
We're looking for volunteers to help out
around the eggplant. Volunteer hours are
compensated in food, and if you're interested
we can help set you up with Students in
Service, a program where you can earn an
award worth up to $2,362.50 for volunteering within your community. Projects include
creating outreach materials, graphic design,
building connections with other organizations,
and helping out around the trailers. Volunteer-
Students
ing is also the easiest way to get involved with
the Cafe, and can earn you preferential treatment in the hiring process. For more information, write to volunteer@theflarningeggplant.
org
Cute-as-a-kitten Comment Cards:
Go by the trailer and see for yourself how
great they are! Then fill one out.
Food Sourcing Improvements:
We have gotten great food from the beginning and it is only getting better. We have
been working with Olympia Coffee Roasting
Company to bring coffee from a Community AgroEcology Network (CAN) Co-op
in Nicaragua that Evergreen Faculty have a
longstanding relationship with. CAN is an
international network connecting farmers,
consumers, students, and educators to create
an alternative globalization where people,
healthy food systems, and environments COme
first. Their research and education programs
support conservation - both of the land and
people's livelihoods - through sustainable
agriculture and alternative market channels.
In other words the coffee is not only Fair trade,
but it is saving the world. The CAN coffee has
just arrived and is now available at the Cafe.
We also established a relationship with
Stokesberry Sustainable Farms who will start
selling the Cafe beef in the near future. The
Eggplant employees are currently working on
redesigning the sausage, so let us know what
you would like to see on the Cute-as-a-kitten
Comment Cards.
Our vendors that we know and love are listed
below in case you're new to eating at the Cafe.

Open love-letter
to your mom
by CASEY JAYWORK
Dearest
Varvena
(for such you are if,
as I'm told, you no
longer answer to the
intimate handle, "El
Toro"),
For you, I would
shave every tree in our shrub-forsaken
thousand-acre wood with naught but
a herring, down to the minutest toothpicks, and, harpooning with them bacon
and tofu, lure small children to violate
themselves upon the noble geoducks of
these beaches;
For you, I would collect the dandelionchained armpit-hair of a thousand shirtless hippies, sowing the pungent fleece
into a billowing parasail with which
to mount the majikal energiez (yes,
that IS street lingo I'm using!) that arc
and parabolate our lonely winter/April
skies;
For you, I would clutch a mountain
of stolen newspapers to my quivering
bosom, like a lover, like a platypus-like
you-until friction and my tears and the
ink matriculated together into a goopy
soup of sap and sorrow, the facsimile of
my inner-being, 0 woeful romantic, I!
The nebulous obfuscourescence of my
soul shades its adumbral swarth across
the cracked and battered abyss of my
ears/Auditory Pain Receptors to excru-
ciatingly imbibe the rank pitter-patter
of inane happiness wobbling it's way
' round my casa like an Ecstasy-steeped
Starbucks barista wrapped in a fire-blanket of Paxil and angel-giggles! Laugh
while you can, fools; the arm of time
creeps spider-like and sticky, and we
are all entranced under its terrible spell.
There is no escape but to denial, and yet
denial is the one thing I despise most!
Life is a sham; and happiness-a
shambala.
CURSE YE, MINE OWN INTELLECT! I I Wisdom-is suffering: as the
wise Gautama said, 'If it's good enough
for Buddha, it's good enough for me.' As
I carve these letters into the back of my
pasty arm with a rusty extrusion of razor
blade and with paper-cuts from the pages
of my Twilight collection, to be later
transcribed onto CPJ printing blocks by
a blind mortician- blind to the horrors
of the world since he was blinded by the
UTMOST BOTTOMLESSNESS of my
NUCLEAR HOPELESSNESS (!!!)even as I endure this like the cosmic
whipping-boy I am, I cannot but recall
fondly the heartier excesses of our illmispentgotten youth: you, parting the
cavernous folds of your Leninist-style
jacket from the GAP to reveal fighting
nipples and a jaw so square as to haunt
the dreams of Pythagoras; I, in my Che

0, Varvena. Is LOVE such an old-fashioned word? And-love dares you to
care for the people on the edge of the
night-such as / ... yes, 1: the Underfrown Man, peeping out of my wretched
rat hole like the now-lost hero-gerbil of
our ersatz love. Oh, Senor Stumplemuffins, wherefore was thou such a tender
rodent? Whence goes thy feckless
adventures, thou noble spelunker of the
deep?
Such is life, for me and for all of us:
a squirming hamster trapped in the
cramped recesses of an oblivious, indigestive higher Being, slowly crushed
under th~ immeasurable weight of PopTarts and stomach acid, momentarily
fooling itself into blissful oblivion, and
then- snapping back to an even-sharper
awareness of its eternal, Promethean
angst.
Woe! Woe! Such is existence. Hier

my dear, yours shall be bitches writhing
in riches of revolutionary kitchens!

me smile and remember
my younger years when my tolerance for
cheap booze wasn't so high; you are a lucky
man and a cheap date, I'm sure-you dog.
Tondal Elijah Fox Delaney, your straight

my hair, take out my contacts and become
manorexic... not really, but I'm sure some
people would like to.
Tondal Elijah Fox Delaney, you deserve to

frivolous and demeaning claims. You deserve
the schooling you paid for. You deserve
a place to prove that the lesson has been
learned. And Colorado is not that place, it is
here, next to me, handing you an oversized

that, but you also know you will still be a
caring, amazing friend anywhere you are.

PART2: DNA, PREDATORS, AND VlcnM COMPENSATJON
by DAN SHELLEY
The United States
incarcerates
more
people (2.3 million)
than any other nation in
the world today. Many
of these prisoners are
serving time for violent
crimes, but an almost equally bloated number
(approximately 1 million) are in jail or
prison for non-violent offenses. The federal
government's war on drugs as well as mandatory minimum sentencing, which prevents
judges from using discretionary power when
sentencing offenders, are major contributing
factors in the upsurge of victimless prisoners.
Needless to say, punishing people who pose
no threat to anybody but themselves is no
way to operate a ')ustice system". It's cruel
and does irreparable harm to the family unit
and the greater community.
Here at Evergreen, students are working to
create a new justice model, without the help
of the state. And as dissatisfied as I am with
the current state paradigm, I have strong
misgivings about this nascent, alternative
model. Whattroublesmemostis theutterlack
of resources available for the apprehension of
violent criminal offenders. If the do-gooders
intend to gain the confidence and cooperation of violent crime survivors, then access to
these resources is absolutely necessary. After

replaces their lost income? Believe it ornot, in
many cases the government does. In all fifty
states, there are crime victim compensation
programs in place to provide financial assistance to crime victims and their families. This
is a wonderful program, a tangible example
of the state doing something positive. Any
campaign to undermine the state must have a
similar program in place, with equal or better
compensation, if those backing the campaign
realistically expect survivors of violence to
cooperate with them.
The system is far from perfect, but sometimes it's the only recourse available to
desperate, victimized people. The privileged
Evergreen radical can lambast the state all
slhe wants, but unless slhe has viable and

American Psycho
a schizophrenic review
by CASEY JAYWORK
Since I've started reading Brett Easton
Ellis' American Psycho, I've noticed
that sometimes, after a long day slinging
shit-eating grins at strangers for money,
I just need to, you know, hack another
organism into bloody slivers and bellow
my triumph to the night, motherfucKAAAAAHHH!! (Ahem.)
Picking your fingernails clean of the
dried, rust-colored remains of something
that was helpless and is now inanimate
meat is more liberating, somehow, than
doing the same thing with food you served
to some aging yuppie and his screaming three-year-old. Most satisfying of
all would be ripping the taut, spasming
tendons of the still-screaming child from
under the skin on his face (barehanded,
hence the nail-picking) and around his
neck, while his eyes twitch like a slot
machine and his breath comes in wheezing, broken whimpers; then slathering
up a plateful of him with some Barbeque
sauce and bleu cheese, and serving it all
with a side of fries to Daddy.
But parents don't tip as well when
panicked from the absence of their kids,
and besides, I wouldn't be able to decide
what to do with the rest of the body (ribcage wind-chimes? An enormous meatloaf? So many options ... ).
On the other hand, I guess I could follow
protagonist Patrick Bateman's example
and spend my nights "in ways we cannot
begin to fathom" outside of work, but
Olympia is a much smaller town than
New York, so disappearing into a forest
of identical individuals might be harder
forme.
With this review, I'm stuck, for two
reasons. First, American Psycho is just
too good; anything I have to say about
it will be the sort of inane, commercialized prattle Ellis lampoons throughout
the novel (e.g. Genesis' Invisible Touch
is "an epic meditation on intangibility, at
the same time it deepens and enriches the
meaning of the preceding three albums").
I'm utterly incompetent to write this, but,
well, what the hell ...
The second problem is that much of the
novel is unprintable (it's still illegal for
minors in Australia and New Zealand),
and making it p1intable kills the effectEllis is writing on his own terms. A relatively tame section: "I take advantage

What about outside?
by NICHOLAS PACE
While I sit in this semi-anti-productivity pod staring at the lifeless silicon,
writing this article so I can reach a dead-·
line, I think to myself that there is probably quite a few geoducks who can sum
up their current desire into one word:
outside. While the weather has been in
flux, ranging from snow to rain even in
the middle of April, it's undeniable that
once the sun comes out so do the hikers,
the soccer players, the runners, the bikers,
the skaters, or even the daydreamers who
sit under the trees reading.
Although most people I've talked to
who enjoy going outside have uttered
some resentment at the weather when
it rains, it's when the student athletes
come out after being forced to practice
in slightly miserable conditions that they
reach athletic nirvana when its just the
right temperature to break a sweat without feeling too dehydrated, or closer to
hypothermia.
Right now the Track and Field team
continues to push on and has been experimenting with field events despite some
homogeneity in choosing to do the traditional running events. On the women's
side Senior Lindsey Farah and Freshman
Evelyn Coleman gave the High Jump a
try for the first time, at Oregon City.
The meet at Oregon City also provided
the first time this year for medleys both
in sprinting and in distance. The men's
sprint medley consisting of Senior
Jason Shoemaker, Sophomores Ryan
Lara, Liam Rockwell and Alex Combs
Bachman produced a time of 1:42:70.
The men's distance medley provided
new territory to explore for many of
the runners. Rockwell led the charge in
the 1200 meters with a time of 3.24.6,
followed by Bachman's first 400 meters
with a time of55.8 seconds. Lara ran the
800 meters with a time of 2.02.90 and
left the rest of the medley to Senior Eric
Jones to finish with 4:40.24 in the 1600
meter overall producing a medley time
of 13:26.61.
The women's track team continues to
set new standards for the team recently
with the 3000 meters and the women's
distance medley.
Freshmen Carrisa Carlson, Britta Peterson, Emily Baker and Senior Ana Cassilias competed in the women's 3K placing
themselves in Evergreen history on the
Top 5 all time list. Baker did a personal
best with a time of 12.25, Cassilias
placed 4th with a time of 11:00, Carlson
with 11:07, and Peterson with 11:16. In
the distance medley the women's team
was able to beat their old record (14:31)
by over a minute. Peterson started off
with a time of 4:14.17 in the 1200 meters
followed by Carlson's 1:05.39 split in the
400 meter. Farah continued with a 2:32.4
800 meters leaving Cassillas to make the
final call with her 5:34.27 in the 1600
meters. Overall the impressive 13:26.61
was a high point that day.
For the men the 3K also had its high
points with Tyler Wilks Luce with an
impressive personal best of 9:59, only
seconds behind the half-marathoner Eric
Jones, (see last CPJ issue), who had a
time of9:34.
The next meet at Pacific Lutheran
University in Tacoma, WA should
provide new opportunities, as student
athletes continue to pray for decent
weather, although ironically some of
them remember last year at P.L.U.'s
meet as the day many of them received
bad sunburn. Upcoming new events for
Evergreen Track and Field will include
Britta Peterson running in the women's
steeple chase event for the first time. It
truly is a time for experimentation for
track and field, and new surprises will
continue to arise in other intercollegiate
sports as well. While the season continues, already both Men's and Women's
soccer gears up for next summer and
next season.
In Women's Soccer two new candidates
are to come in next year who also have
competed in multiple sports, as was
announced by head coach John Purtteman on February 11, 2009. Emma
Loftis from Eatonville High School was
the team captain on her Soccer team,
participated in varsity Basketball, and is
a distance runner with a personal best of
5:38 in the mile. As well, Zoe Ostrander
of Lakes High School in Lakewood
Washington, should be promising as she
is a track sprinter with times of 27.0 and
60.04 in the 200 and 400 meters.
Also to note in the upcoming Soccer
season, is that former geoduck Kate
Green will join the women's coaching
staff as the Associate Head Coach this
fall. Green was named for the AllCascade Conference First Team in Portland Oregon November 13,2008.
In Men's Soccer three new recruits are
to be expected including junior transfer
from Pierce College Clarence Wright.
Wright was a two-time NWAACC All
star at Pierce and a two-time NWAACC
Southern Region Most Valuable Player.
Joining him in the new ranks of Geoduck
Men's soccer will be Eddie Mendoza
from Pasco High School in Pasco,
Washington and Casey Collins of Whatcom Community College in Bellingham,
Washington.
There have no doubt been expectations
for many of the athletic teams at Evergreen, many of which have been based
upon saying goodbye to teammates who
have either graduated or taken leaves
of absence. With Junior runner Brian
Rakestraw gone abroad it's been argued
that the Track and Field team will need
someone to fill his mantle. The Men's
Soccer Team also had to say goodbye
to goalkeeper Matt Stalnik when he
graduated.
All in all, Evergreen will have in its
upcoming days times of experimentation
and hopefully progression just as long as
they remember that what there is to do is
outside, and should seize the opportunity
while the weather is pleasant.
