Slush

by Hi lla ry Rossi
Staff writer

Sunday morning, Evergreen students
woke up to a thick white blanket outside.
Between 4 and S a.m. Sunday morning,
it began snowing heavily, and it only got
heavier. By the night's end, it had snowed five
to six inches at Evergreen and the outlying
Olympia area. The snow fell steadily for 10
hours, stalling cars, slipping Greeners, and allin-ail causing mayhem.
'" hea rd about the snow from other
people [on Saturday]," said Alec Hamilton, a
fourth-year greener. "But 1 didn't think it
would."
Snow was in the forecast most of last
week. but it never showed up. When the newS
sta tion s predicted it last weekend, some
greeners called their bluff, They lost.
Ha£!!ilton spent. a snowy Sunday with her
German Shephard. Cat. "I took my dog out for
a walk, and it dragging me," she said, smiling ..
"So I was skiing behind mydog."
By 3 p.m. Su(\day afternoon, the snow
had tapered off. It had gotten down to 27
degrees that day, according to ChannelS news.
On Monday, Evergreen students called up.
the college to see ifschool was in session. l!efore
the recording had a chance to finish giving the
message, the dispatcher was on the line with,
"Evergreen. School's open today!"
Two dispatchers in the Police Services
office took phone calls aU day, the callers
inquiring about whether or not Evergreen was
open . Two thousand four hundred eighty
people called Evergreen asking if the college
was open Monday.
Some students came into class late rath~r
than risk their lives on snow and black ice.
There were other students who didn't come to
school because of the frozen roads.
Classes were partially empty, programs
were canceled, faculty were missing. and by
noon, it started snowing again.
Part rain, part snow, the fresh snow was
more slick, and prompted a cancellation of
school. By 2:30 p.m., the Student Activities
wing of the third floor of the College Activities
Building closed completely. At 5 p.m., the
Library and the Computer Center closed down.
But by 5, it had stopped snowing. Night classes
were cancelled.
KAOS radio station stayed open Monday
night. Michael Huntsberger, general manager
ofKAOS, came in and worked on Tuesday too,
when the rest of the school wastlosed.
Before 6 a.m. Tuesday morning, Police
Services got word that the school was closed
that day from Art Costaritino, vice president for
Student Aiairs. The students whJl, stayed at
home huddled indoo~, built ice sculptures,
and sledded do~ the hill next'to the Campus
Recreation Center and the Communications
Building.
But on Tuesday, the falling snow had
turned to rain, and it beat d()wn on and off
throughout the day. By evening, most of the
snow in
was gone.

Confronted kids
clean the forest
by Kathryn Lewis
Staff writer
On Jan . 6, three individual s were
co nfronted by Police Services about th eir
conduct at a tree-fort located on Evergreen
property.
On the evening of Monday.Jan. 5, a drug
bust took place in campus housing. One of
the people hanging out at the site was a 15vear-old boy. He was told to leave campus and
not to rerurn. The following evening, Officer
Bird saw him hanging out at The Edge. He
WilS taken to Police Services to discuss what
he wa s doing trespassing on ca mpu s. The
po li ce intended to arrest him , but as his story
unfo ld ed they became sympa th etic to his
situation.

The boy had been living in a tree-fort on
Evergree n grounds since the death of his
mother, roughly six months ago, he to ld
Evergreen officers. The officers called Child
Protective Services and Haven House. Before
taking him to Haven House, a center for
homeless youth, the officers asked him to take
them to his tree-fort. At the tr('e-fort , they
found two individuals. One of them was the
individual who escaped out the third story
window of a dormitory during poli ce
questioning the previous night.
Officer McBride said that the tree-fort
was a disgusting mess upon arrival. The boys
had small amounts of marijuana and a few
pipes in their possessiun. They really wanted
tu kl'ep the pipes, and so Evergreen Police
made a deal with them. They could keep the
pipes if they cleaned up th e tree-fort. The
foll owing day the boys filled 12 large garbage
bags, and were completely cleared oUI of Ihe
area.

While police were questioning the suspect, an
unidentified yo ung man proceeded to jump
out of the third story window. The students
inside th e dormitory were searc hed and
released with out lega l action taken aga in st
them. Evergreen Gri evance Counse lor Helena
Meye r-Knapp said. "our goal is an educational
goa l" and "this in ves tigat ion is not a liny
investigation." In delermining the penalty
for students in cases where the college code has
bee n vio lated, severa l co mpon ents are
addressed. An evaluation of the damage of the
individual action upon the broader Evergreen
comm unity is tak en into accoun I . The suspect
in Housing violated rule four of the cond url
code:
"Using, possessing, or distributing of any
controlled substance or illega l drug on college
premises or at coll ege-sponsored aCliviti es.
Publi c appearance on campus o r at any
co llege-sponso red event while und er th e
influence ofil/ega l drugs wil l be cons idereu a
vio lation ."
T h econduct codes~ t ":

"The prim ary purpose for imp os in g
corrective measures is to r ducal e. deter and
prot ect." The conduct code also has over eight
examples of corrective action. which include
"emergency suspension , expulsion, probation,
reprimand, restitution, suspens ion ,
temporary ejection from the premises, and
limiting extracurricular activities."
Bev Peterson, the Housing grievance
counselor, said that: "Evergreen 's approach to
these situations is a bit different than other
university campuses. Evergreen's focus is on
education." Evergreen tries to educate drug
violators on the implications the drugs they
are using or distributing may have on their
future, and the future of others.

S&A board ·member
The Services and Activities Board is a
student run and student encompassed group
who represent Services and Activities at
Evergreen. S&A, as Services and Activities are
called: take $100 off of your tuition to pay for
student originated performances, events, and
benefits. These performances, events , and
benefits promote inclusion- culturally,
politically, and academically- for the Evergreen
comm unity.
An S&A group is a group of students
working for a common goal. That goal can either
be to produce and experiment or to educate on
unknown peoples at Evergreen and in the world.
The student coord inators, vo lunte ers, and
members of the group create, ensemble, and rally
together to make their mission known and to
educate the students at Evergreen. Examples of
S&A group s are the Evergreen Political
Information Center, the Union of Students with
Disabilities, the Evergreen Queer Alliance, and
manyothers. Most of the S&A groups are funded
by the S&A Board, a diverse group of students
there to decide how your money should be spent.
Many of th e funded groups have paid
coordinating positions.
Apoll taken last year showed that only 7.6%
of Evergreen students worked in some student
organization, and only 8%of students atteQded
a meeting of a club or event frequently.
This money is yours. These stuuen! groups
are yours. If you don 't find one for you, you can
always create one. If there is ever an issue, a
concept , which intrigues you or which you are
passionate about, get with other students who
fee l the same a,s you and create a volunteer
student group. All hough you will have no money,
you can create a support group, or have general
meetings. If you plan an event whi ch costs
money, you can always app ly for SpeCial
Initiatives.
Special Initiatives are funds set aside by the
S&A Board to go toward events. promotions, and
benefits that were not allocated for the previous
school year. You do research on the expense of
the even t your volunteer group wants to present,
and then propose your Special Initiative to the
S& A Board . The S&A Board, being a sma ll
selection of diverse Evergreen students, deci.de
whether or not it would be in the students' best
in terest to finanCially support the event. You can
make a Special Initi alive on an event too
ex pensive for a previously funded group, an event
-for a volunteer group, or an Operational Budget,
for a volun teer group who wan ts to be funded.
There is no guarantee your group or event
will be funded . But it is your money that go
towards S&A groups , functions, and
productions. Start deciding how you want your
money to be spent.

He's Back
Evergreen is ordered to reinstate Officer Larry Savage
by Leigh Cullen
Managing editor
Fired Evergreen Police Sergeant Larry
Savage returned to work yesterday.
The state Personnel Appeals Board
ordered the college to reinstate Savage with a
demotion from sergeant to police officer and
that he be supervised so he could regain the trust
of his superiors.
Savage will regain the trust of hi s
supervisors through "word and deed , over
time," said police Chief Steve Huntsberry.
"I don't want to say anything." said Savage.
Savage was fired from Evergreen over the
sUmmer for a pattern of dishon es ty, said

Huntsberry in Savage's dismissal letter. But
Savage believed he was fired because he had
pushed since 1989 for campus sec urity to
become an armed police force.
Savage took his case to the state Personnel
Appeals Board in October to as k to be
reinstated. The board decided that they needed
a full hearing on the matter and issued a ruling
on Jan . 2. The ruling also ordered the college to
pay Savage back pay for the months he was gone
from Evergreen.
,
But Savage will appear the board's
decision, said Savage's lawyer, Shawn Newman.
They want Savage to be "fully reinstated to th~
position of sergeant and full vindication that
Savage performed.his duties." said Newman. He

n

has 30 days after the board's ruling to file an
appeaL
Savage has also started the process to fil e
a multi-million dollar lawsuit because ''I'm tired
of the bullshit-tireCl of the stress on me and
my family. I'm tired of getting my chain jerked
every time they feel like jerking it," Savage sa id
last October.
St ill , Police Ch ief Steve Huntsberry
believes that Savage is norstepping into a hostile
work place. The attitude is he's com ing back and
that he will be treated just like any othe'r officer,
said Hunt sberry. '''We expect him to be
professional and treat folks as they should be.
treated and we expect to do the same," said
Huntsberry. "It shouldn 't be a problem."

The women 's rugby team is undoubtedly
breathing a sigh of relief after finally seeing their
long-awaited goalpos1!i erected in the soccer field.
The posts, which arrived in the first part of
june 1997, went up in ea rly December and
depending on who you talk to, this either took too
long, or was completed as soon as was possible.
Rosedanie Cadet, part-time staffer and
coac h for the women's rugby team, is
disappointed at how long the College Recreation
Center (CRC) took to put up the posts; she a~, (!
the women's team feel like they've been given the
run-around by the CRe. "My understanding was
that the goalposts were ordered, they were here,
we had already had a meeting to di scuss the
placement of the goalposts, so that once they got
here, they were going to be done ." Cadet was
under the impression that the posts would go in
over the summer break.

posts still hadn't been put up. What ensued
were numerous calls and inquiries on her part
to try and get the posts up. By the time the posts
went up in December, the fall season was over
and the rugby team was beginning to wonder
why the posts were even ordered.
Cadet's ultimate concern is that, even though
the goa lposts are up, it took too long and the
women's rugby team's repeated requests to put the
posts up were largely ignored. "When the women
on the team see that the Rec Center, to a"certain
extent, doesn't support us, I think we lose some of
the better athletes who come out," Cadet says.
John Barbee, the men 's basketball coach,
is a resource for the team and go-between for
them and the CRe. He understands the team 's
frustration, but at the same time thinks that the
posts were put up as soon as the CRC could do
it. "I'm under the impression that we're doing
all we can for them," Barbee says.
He's worried that it seems as though the CRC
doesn 't care about the women's rugby team, but
Barbee says that's really not the case. '" don't want

them to think that we're not here to help them
because we're here to make sure that they have a
good experience and a good time with rugby."
In any event, the posts are up, if not

The regist~ation " office is all EARS.
by Jennifer Ahrens
Staff writer

a VIrtual slumber party m the library lobby,
accordi ng to Andrea Coker-Anderson, the
interim registrar, as st udents fought to get their
appointments as early as possible.
"An adult with a chi ld to ca re for ca n't
camp out in the library for a weekend ," CokerAnderson said. "A lot of people had problems
with the system."
Sin ce EARS was implem ented, such
problems have been reduced to a minimum ,
according to Coker-And erson. Although
problems do still occur, the registration office
takes less than 10 complaints per quarter from

the nearly 3700 students who attend Evergreen.
With 900 registration appointments every
day during the Winter quarter registration
week, EARS makes registration run more
effic iently than ever before by letting eight
people call at once instead of one. Before the
system was implemented , telephone
regist ration at Evergreen was handl ed by a
single operator with a headset who filled out all
oftbe paperwork while the student dictated the
information. This left the phone lines so backed
up that the phone company actually came to
campus to complain th at they were backed up

Five years ago, dedicated students at
Evergreen were more likely to be carrying a
sleeping bag across campus than a bookbag.
During registration week, that is.
Before EARS (Evergreen's Automa ted
Registration System) was implemented in 1995,
students who wanted to change their registration
had to go in to the registration office to make
appointments, The sheer load of students who
needed access to the registration system created
-;:=================;:======:::;;::=====~i all the way to Tacoma.
There are, of course, students who have
probl em with EARS. Registration staff
responds to these problems by watching a
screen while a student registers in an attempt
to trouble-shoot. The six to eight problems
daily that the staff usua lly dea ls with are usually
due to a misinterpretation of the EARS
instruction manual. Actual technical problems
are rare, but they do happen.
Sandy Bloomfield is a member of the
registration staff who helps .(Duble-shoot. She
says that the first goal is always to help the
student register, and after registration week is '
over she will go over problems to see what went
wrong in the system. One case that she was
going over was that of third-y ea r student
Marianne Settles , whose registration took
longer than usual because EARS thought that

"e'1cotn.e Back St u d ent S

"T

she was over regIstered, although she wasn t
registered for any cred its. Alt hough the
situation was resolved and Settles was able to
register, Bloomfield is still look ing at the
printouts to try to figure out what happened .
Settles' case, according to both CokerAnderson and Bloomfield, is rare , The most
important things to remember are to read the
instructions, fill out the form, and finish the call
all the way through . Although at times there are
misunderstandings and the system occasionally
gets complicated, the staffagrees thatthe work that
went into EARS between 1993, when it began, and

1995, when it was implemented, was worth it.
"Adoptin g this technology took an
enormous amount of energy. Putting our
programs and curriculum into this system and
into the system was complicated," said CokerAnderson. "We had to make EARS think like
we do. But going back to the way we did things
before scares us."
As it stands, students can register from
virtually everywhere using the EARS system.
Those who aren't comfortable with the
automation can come in the first ~eek of the
quarter and register in person, butthose people
risk losing their place in their programs.
Although there are no immediate plans to
. change EARS befo re Spring quarter, the
registration staffis constantly working with the
system to improve it, and is always open to
student suggestions.

invites residents of the City of Olympia,
Thurston County, and anyone who is concerned
about the urbanization of rural areas to join us
for a walk on Overhulse Road at 1 p.m. on
Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, Jan. 19,
1998. Bi('yclists, too, are invited to come ride
on our road.
We will be meeting in an open pasture
located at 1335 Overhulse Road NW. Come
walk on our road before 1 p.m._ Bring a bag
lunch if you like. Refreshments will be available.
We will then go for a walk together down the
road. Please park atthe end of the road or atThe
Evergreen State College.

We invite you to come enjoy with us the
beauty and peacefulness of a rural area which is
threatened by urbanization . The Thurston
County Commission has been approving urban
developments on our road, despite zoning of
one unit per five acres. These developments
threaten the Allison Springs aqUifer, which
provides Olympia with .one quarter of its
drinking water. 'Last .week the County
Commission approved a large urban facility with
a 10,000 square-foot building and a 200 car
paved parking lot on a rural road that is too
narrow to safely handle urban traffic. The
Overhulse Neighborhood Association is
preparing to file suit in Superior Court against
Thurston County for its improper approval of
this inappropriate development proposal.

Graffiti on campus
To all faculty, staffand students on the Evergreen Campus;
This is an open letter· to everyone concerning
graffiti. I see an increase in the amount of graffiti on our
campus-an increase in both number and area. And I
am not referring to chalk drawings here,
The graffiti is moving into the center of the campus.
It has hit the Lecture Halls. Let me ask all of you this:
when we bring a speaker in, is this what we want him/
her to see as he/she steps into the Lecture Hall? Do you
. think the fact we have left graffiti on our campus will
change his/her image of Evergreen in any way? I don't
know about the rest of you, butthe lack of graffiti cleanup is sure changing my image of Evergreen.
To the faculty and staff. when parents and possible
future students examine our campus to see if they want
to enroll, what kind of message do you think the graffiti
sends? If I were a parent, it wou ld send a warning
message. If! were a student;-it-would send the message
that this place is a dump. Enough said.

In order to combat graffiti you must have
determination and patience. Evergreen is either lacking
in both or doesn't care. Or do you? Do you want to get
rid of the graffiti? Are you willing to check an area on a
constant basis and continue to paint over it if needed?
Do you have what it takes?
I do. Want to help? [need faculty, staff, S&A groups
and students who are interested in volunteering their
time and artistic talents in cleaning up the graffiti. Hey
Art Department, I need your talent! I want to try and
arrange to paint murals over the large graffiti-covered
areas, such as the gym.
If your support is large enough, I'm going to contact
the Olympia Police Department for assistance and any advice
(they've had quite a bit of experience with gmffiti downtown).
This will turn into a community effort we can all profit from,
with one exception. The graffiti artists will lose.

the subliminal message: "Yo u are an obsequious

The plan was slow to unfold, but once I littered the
major cities with leaflets explaining the definition of
"obsequious capitulator," I was well on my way to power.
Of course after two weeks in my position as
unquestioned ruler of both Nova Scotia and Maine, I
thought to myself, "Hey, wait. I'm the unquestioned ruler
of Nova Scotia and Maine," and quickly relinquished
power to the proper authorities.

whether "indigenous knowledge" can be patented or

the experiences of an oppressed people. It is also an
African expression that goes back to the ancient oral

surprised when the guitar player told
me he's used to playing more Judas
Priest than country music . .
The highlight ofthe evening came
when the band started playing uWipe
Out" and the singer sat down at the
drum kit. The drummer moved in the
crowd to play the solo breaks with his
drumsticks on the dance floor, on
people's tables and on the bottom of
their chairs. Then he opened two
suitcases full of percussion toys and
handed them out to people in the
audience while he dragged the patrons
onto the stage. Imagine 15 people in
various state.s of intoxication and
rhythmic ability standing around
jamming on a surftune. I was up there
with them and it still seems unreal.
As the evening wound down and
midnight approached I reflected_over
the whole scene. I hadn't found the
reincarnation of Hank Williams but I
had an amusing evening. I decided that
even bar bands that play classic rock
and Top 40 Country music can still
entertain a crowd. The skill ofthe band
lies in their charisma and familiarity
with the members of the audience in
addition to playing well-worn songs in
a way that's fresh and energetic. I'm not

{April 20-May 20} How does it
happen that every time a bull howls at the full
moon, the melody is so enchanting, so
majestically powerful, that the birds rise and
sing? The winter chill could surprisingly
enhance your ability to focus on certain

with en9ugh smoothness, getting it all done in

will be more time to have fun. Missed you

accidentally during a random hunting
expedition, you will so again. If you die in a
plane crash over Indiana, you will so again, and
so on .
At the end of the "rerun," as he ca lls it,
when free will kicks back in, everyone goes
insane. If you were driving a car, you sudden ly
had to decide for yourself where the car should
go next. Pedestrians fa ll down in the street and
get run over. Nobody really knows what to do
with themselves because they haven't had to
think about it for 10 years.
Von negut tells Trout's story, treating him
like an actual living friend rather than a
fictional character, along with his own
experiences through the quake. Death takes a
prevalent role, with his thoughts on the
su icides ofhis mother and some of his friends,
the deaths of his sister and brother from cancer,
and the death of hi s first wife. In typical
Vonnegut fashion , he evokes both melancholy
and hilarity on one page.

Their brand new album, Challenge for a
Civilised Society, has just been released on Kill
Rock Stars, and to honor the occasion they'll
be performing at the Capitol Theater this week.
A fixture of the northwest indie scene for
most of the 90's, Unwound are a powerful,
passionate band. Their music veers from
intense and shattering to lulling and beguiling
and their vivid performances are fequently
memorable indeed.
Their use of alternate tunings , feedback,
and musical space occaisionally earn thtm
comparisons with early Sonic Youth, since
both bands obviously use those somewhat
similar methods. Unwound are no imitators
or wannabes, though. They seem to have an
internal lOgic all their own.
Unwound will be playing at the Capitol

A complete guide to a cultural phenomenon
byTak Kendrick
Kent Brockman's love child
A true cultural phenomenon happens so
rarely in the animation world that prior to 1987
the last known occurrence was several decades
before in a cartoon
that brought the
words "Yabba Dabba
000" to nationwide
primetime acclaim.
In fact, by 1983,
animation was almost
completely abolished
-as
an
art form,
relegated to morning
cartoons and viewers
under the age of 13.
After the Disney flop

Black Ca uldron

called Th e Tracy Ullman Show, The show's
creators called a meeting with a cartoonist
named Matt Groeningwho had limited success
in newspaper syndication with a strip called
"Life is Hell, " According to lore, within five
minutes Groening had created a cartoon bases
on his family.
The cartoon was
soon to be called

"The Simpsons"
and history was
made.

It is with this in mind that Groening and his
crack team of writers have compi led The
Simpsons: A Complete Guide To Our Favorite

Family.
This book, released in early December. is
quite simply the ultimate guide to the
Simpsons, Each episode is given at least a page,
with a brief synopsis, character profiles, stuff
you might have missed, quotes, movie
moments, and what Bart writes on the
blackboard, From the shorts to the end oflast
season, it is all there, Memorable moments like

by Sting in Radio Bart are all there, plus more.

by Tak Kendrick
the Real Seymour Skinner
The on ly apparent flaw in The Simpsons:

A Complete Guide To Our Favorite Family is
that, due to printing time, the episode list o nly
goes through last season, So here is a quick
episode-by-episode guide to what we've seen
this season .
The episodes so far:
The Principal and The Pauper (Ken
Keeler) - While her class is doing a project
on the Vietnam Memorial Wall, Lisa finds
Principal Skin ner's name on it as missing in
action. When the real Principal Skinner shows
up, the school is s hocked that the Skinner
they've known all along is an impostor.
Lisa the Simpson (Ned Goldreyer) Lisa realizes that both Bart and Homer became
lazy at the age of nine , and now fears that the
lazy gene was passed along to her, making her
next in line.
The
Cartridge
Family
Oohn
Swartzwelder) - While the Simpsons are
attending a soccer game, a riot breaks out ,
which Homer joins . Once accused of being a
bad family protector by Marge however,
Homer decides to buy a gun in hopes of
proving her wrong.
