Low student
turnout at
S&Aforum
by JASON SLOTKIN
The fee paid by all students that
goes to support services such as
KAOS, Evergreen Athletics, the
Childcare Center, student activities
groups and advisors will be raised
next year by 3%.
The academic year after that, it
will be raised by 2%.
Enrollment at Evergreen is
expected to drop, so individual
students will have to pay more
money into the pot to keep the
services and groups operational.
The students who made these decisions, the Services and Activities
board (S&A) gave all this information to attendees of the forum for
students held on Wednesday April
29.
Outside of the student governrnent
representatives who attended and
co-hosted the event, few students
showed up.
The student representatives who
attended, were given answers to
their questions by S&A board
members. The directors of offices
funded by the S&A money also
attended.
The S&A board is required to
gather student input when recommending the school raise the S&A
fee.
The board must also advertise the
fee raise and the forum, which they
did.
The board sent an email to every
student, purchased an ad in the CPJ,
and posted a notice to the TescCrier
mailing list.
Take ack
by IAN PEREIDA-PERRY
On Wednesday night the Women's
Resource Center and Coalition against
Sexual Violence hosted the Take Back
the Night march. This annual event is
intended to prevent sexual violence
from happening in the future and heal
those who have experienced it in the
past. The march began in red square
and wound through the soup into the
MODS and back to red square. Each
marcher was equipped with a sign, a
candle, and a sheet of slogans to chant.
The slogans included "hey-hey, ho-ho
sexual violence has got to go" and "24-6-8 no more violence and no more
rape!" As the procession entered lower
campus onlookers cheered and aided in
the chanting.
The demographic of the march was
diverse both in terms of gender and
ethnicity. An estimated one-third of the
marchers were male, several of which
are members of the Men's Resource
Center. This cross gender support
shows solidarity not only between men
and women but between student groups

VP responds to GSU's statement
by MADELINE BERMAN
The majority of this week's Geoduck Student
Union (GSU) meeting was focused on the S&A
forum. Please see Attendance low at S&Aforum on
cover for more information on this topic.
The GSU received the funding that they requested
from the S&A, with the exception of surnrner
stipends and reimbursement for travel.
The GSU also voted to move their elections for
next year's representatives to a week later than the
original schedule. The polls will now open on May
26 and close June 5.

College takes
utions
against swine flu
by JASON SLOTKIN
With students studying abroad, living in
close quarters such as the dorms, and sharing
the same general space, a flu is of concern to
a college.
Now, according to the Center for Disease
Control, Swine Flu could be potential
pandemic. Evergreen is preparing and studying what to do in case the Swine Flu comes
to Olympia.
According to Art Costantino, vice president
of student affairs, these precautions include
tracking how other schools have handled
students infected with the swine flu.
Cw:rently, if an Evergreen student were to
contract this flu, they would be restricted
from coming to campus. The school would
then work to find out who the infected person
had come into contact with.
Costantino has also met with the heads of
Police Services, Housing, the Health Center,
and Emergency preparedness to plan for any
possible cases.
Bruce Sutherland, head of emergency
preparedness, is currently reviewing and
updating a campus procedure in case of an
epidemic. This procedure was created during
the Avain flu epidemic.
Michael Clifthorne, head of the Evergreen
study abroad program is contacting students
studying in Mexico, where the flu mortality
rate has been high . " Generally, the approach
has been to ask people to monitor themselves
[for symptoms]," said Costantino.
Evergreen is also working with Thurston
County health.
Costantino said now is not the time to
"panic", but that this situation does require
precautions.

attended the meeting and responded
to the GSU's statement regarding the
proposed rifle purchase. The statement
proposed that a disappearing task force
be created to address safety problems on
campus. Costantino pointed out that this
group already exists: The Emergency
Preparedness Group (EPG). This group
created a 167 page emergency plan in
2003 and updated it last January.
"[This group] does not have any students
on it. It was one of the groups I requested
you to provide the student representation
on in the fall and those appointments have
not been made," continued Costantino.
Costantino also commented on the
campus' response to the possibility of
a swine flu outbreak. "We have a very
small amount of the vaccine available. In
responding to cases we might have, [it]
becomes our recourse to work with the
county and make use of their resources."
The GSU had intended to discuss a
new replacement bylaw, but lost quorum
after the S&A left, so the meeting was
adjourned.

How I (never) learned to stop worrying
aod love the buDshit
by CASEY JAYWORK
SIMPLY PUT, SOME POWER-RELATIONSHIPS
It's an old adage
among wise ninjas
such as myself that the
resentment which dares
not speak its name is a
breeding ground for
regenerations of itself,
so, momentarily rescinding my polite
silence, allow me to briefly rant: Why is
it so difficult to find classes filled with
serious work and undiluted by "hippie
bullshit" here at Evergreen? (Note that it
is not the presence of "hippie bullshit,"
but rather the absence of their opposite,
which concerns me here.)
This is obviously a messy and polemical term, but I think it's both intuitively
appropriate and (complicatedly) meaningful rather than just rhetorical. "Hippie"
implies a lax attitude and open-mindedness
to the point of critical paralysis, particularly in opposition to common sense (e.g.
replacing monotheism with pantheism,
thus stylishly inverting common sense
without disturbing the level of ridiculousness). Moreover, hippies are notoriously
non-confrontational and anti-hierarchical,
man-traits exemplified in our seminars.
"Bullshit" is a more rigorous term,
best discussed by Harry Frankfurt in On
Bullshit. Bullshit is not lying, or even
necessarily falsehood; rather, its essence
is an attitude of apathy towards truth and
falsity, substituting some other priority
(say, avoiding hurt feelings, or expressing patriotism, or successfully appearing
non-sexist to one's peers) for the project
of disinterested truth-seeking.
(Let me insert two caveats here: first,
there's obviously no perfectly disinterested investigator [except F. Nietzsche],
ARE NOT SOLUBLE, BUT OVERTLY RECOGNIZING THEM CREATES TRANSPARENCY,
AND THROUGH IT, ACCOUNTABILITY ... OR,
SPEAKING MORE GENERALLY: LET'S CUT THE
BULLSHIT. SOME OF US ARE HERE TO WORK
but even so, we can still meaningfully
distinguish between a legitimate attempt
at achieving investigative objectivity vs.
Dick Cheney auditing himself. Second,
pursuit of truth over falsity need not
imply a dogmatic insistence on only pure
truth; the world is a complicated place,
but we can still make good epistemological approximations. These are both issues
of "more-or-less" thinking, to avoid the
paradoxes of "either/or.")
So, then, "hippie bullshit" is a situation of
pathological non-confrontation which, for
the sake of 'respecting feelings' and other
Cumbia proprieties, standards of conduct
and performance disappear-particularly
those which involve truth-seeking and
candor. Instead, a ritual of celebrating
individuality, coupled with egalitarianism,
creates a sort of Harrison Bergeron/Brave
New World status quo in the classroom.
"We're all beautiful, unique snowflakes."
The opposite of this aspect of "hippie
bullshit" is demanding much from students
and peers, and critically accessing their
work instead of just making noise about
how wonderful and original everyone's
contribution is. Such demand is a sign
of respect; ensuring that 'everyone's a
winner' by, for example, handing out
good evaluations like candy on Halloween
makes a mockery of those who do sweat in
order to produce something of substance.
Our classrooms should not bear as much
similarity to Office Space as they do.
"Hippie bullshit" further manifests when
curricula are apparently organized by
principle of Attention Deficit Disorder;
"interdisciplinary" should not equate with
"half-hazard speculation." Tribal rituals
do not belong in a philosophy class, guided
meditation does not inform mathematics,
and-above all-seminars and group therapy sessions are neither synonymous nor
simultaneously executable. Whatever the
value of these activities, teaching something other than the advertised curriculum
(or writing the curriculum with language
which is ambiguous to the point of meaninglessness) disempowers students from
choosing what they want to study.
The only excuse for these schizophrenic
ramblings which are so symptomatic of
Evergreen is the whim of the faculty, which
of course is no excuse at all. This leads
me to a final attribute of"hippie bullshit":
the recession of overt hierarchy. In the
name of"equality," "mutual respect," and
"community," faculty (or other authority
figures, like our supposedly non-existent
TAs) will downplay their own power.
"We're all in this together, friend." Far
from mitigating the disparate power
structure (and it's unclear why that would
be desirable in the first place), this informalization reinforces power structures by
making them covert: you can't criticize
something you can't name or see.
Philosopher Slavoj Zizek gives us an
analogy: when a traditional, dominating
father forces his son to visit his grandmother "because I said so," the son is at
least granted the autonomy to disapprove:
"I don't want to, but I will." Alternatively,
when a New-Age, sensitive father wants
to accomplish the same thing, he'll say,
"But you don't want to disappoint your
grandmother, do you?" By giving the
child/subordinate a false choice he not
only forces him to go, but also extorts his
consent in the process. Something similar
happens in class situations where power
exists as the elephant in the middle of the
room.
(This, incidentally, is why unequivocal
free speech is so important for combating oppression; without it, the existing
status quo can flagrantly censor dissent
without contradicting any of its purported
values.)
Simply put, some power-relationships
are not soluble, but overtly recognizing
them creates transparency, and through it,
accountability. Pretending they've been
transcended by goodwill, or some similar
romanticism, is merely an Orwellian game
of smoke-and-mirrors. Or, speaking more
generally: let's cut the bullshit. Some of
us are here to work.
