14. B, C, and D Dorms
by Jennifer Koogler
Editor-in-Chief
Typical coUege living facilities. As you
walk into B-Dorm, you'Usee a lovely Dr. Seuss
mural along the wall of the stai rs. Tnis mural
was painted by Bryan Frankenseuss Theiss (no
relation), former Arts and Entertainment
editor of the (PJ who graduated last year.
Welcome to Evergreen. You'll probably
be seeing and hearing that a lot this week as
yo u make your way around the campus.
Luckily, you've chosen to attend a college that
takes no more than half an hour to tour (none
of those horrendous long treks through a
confusing mess of buildings for you). The
following is a quick run-through of the major
landmarks across our fine campus. These are
just a few, the rest are for you to discover on
your own .
15. E-U Dorms
(a.k.a. Alphabet
City, the Promised Land, Ski Chalets, etc.)
Atypical college living facilities. Huge
living rooms, more kitchen cabinet space than
you really need and yo ur own room. My
mother says my place is better than hers (not
true, but close). Note that there is not an LDorm, an M-Dorm or an O-Oorm.
1. Red Square
There must be a rule that every coUege
campus in Washington must have a Red Square
(UW, Western, and the Green River Community
College all have one). You will no doubt cross
these bricks thousands of times before you leave
here. Red Square is the place for concerts,
dances, volleyball games, reading, writing,
sunning (when applicable), hackysack, dog
walking (on leash only, please), eating and
seminar (pressure your professors early in the
year while it's still somewhat warm outside).
16. The Mods
Way out past Alph abe t City are the
Mods, which are like little duplexes. Each one
has a big kitchen and your own front porch.
Bats have been known to hide out in the Mods,
but that rarely happens. The Mods have their
own laundry room 50 you don't have to haul
your clothes halfway across campus.
17. Housing's Community
RecreahDn Fields
2. The Campus Activities
Center
Building (always referred to as the CAB)
The CAB is the nucleus of the upper
campus. As you walk in from Red Square
(that's the second floor), you are greeted with
the cash machines and the Bookstore. You can
buy many things at the Bookstore, including
all of your books for your program (the ones
you can't find at used book stores downtown).
Be prepared to wait in long lines for the first
few weeks of classes.
Across the way from the Bookstore is the
Deli. Many food items are available for
consumption here. Expect long lines during
lunch times. If you're tired of waiting in line
or can't find the kind of food you like, try
walking downstairs to the Greenery. It gives
you a larger selection of food and a more
cafeteria-style atmosphere.
9
The third floor of the CAB is home to
most ofthe student activities on campus. Walk
through the double doors and youll see a maze
of cubicles. Each is labeled the group's name.
Leave th~m a note and they will get back to
you. For a more complete run down of the friendly staff will point you in the right
groups and what they do, attend the Student direction. .
If you walk past the entrance to the

the cool full-sized mirrors and fireplace. At night
if the doors aren't locked, it's cool to go up there
and out onto the back balcony. The star view is
fabulous.
4. The Longhouse
You'U probably see the Longhouse offin
the disfance as you exit the CAB. The
Longhouse, which was finished about two
years ago, is designed like a traditional Native
American Longhouse, complete with two large
central fireplaces. Native art displays fill the
main entrance area. The rain makes an
amazing sound on the roof.
5. The Seminar Building
This building is known more for being
the home of Police Services, the Health Center,
professor's offices, and EF than for actually
having seminar in. Go figure.
-8-
September 19, 1997
6. The Lecture Halls
9. The Organic Farm
The large pie-shaped building in the
middle of everything. No matter which of the
five you have class in, all the chairs are
uncomfortable. Bring a cushion.
If you keep going past the Longhouse,
youll end up on the path to the B parking lot.
From there, another path jets off into the
woods which leads to the Organic Farm. It
takes a few minutes to walk there (hum the
Ewok theme song as you go along), but pretty
soon the forest ends and the chickens welcome
you in. Most potlucks take place there. In the
spring, you can buy fresh produce and flowers
from them out on Red Square.
7. Lab I andn
It is inevitable that ifyou have class in one
of the Lab buildings, you will go to the wrong
one first. Leave early.
8. Arts Annex
Somewhat hidden behind the large Lab
buildings is the Arts Annex,' home of the
drawing and pottery studios. The drawing
studio has large windows that look out onto
the woods. Ifyou look close enough, you'll see
the Sculpture Garden. On a sunny day at
sunset, follow the path and enjoy.
10. The College Recreation
Center (always referred to as the CRC)
The building attached to the CAB is the
CRe. Head to the first floor of the CAB and go
out the doors by the stamp machine. Walk
straight through until you hit the walkway with
the somewhat loose stone squares. Ent':.r the
building and go down the stairs. Show the nice
person at the desk your validated Student ID
card and they'U push the magic button which
lets you in. You can swim in the pool. play
racquetball, lift weights, dance, or just plow
away on the Stairmaster as you gaze out onto
the Soccer fi~ld. Bring a water bottle; the
Multipurpose room gets warm fast.
11. The Communications
Building (always referred to as the
COM building)
If you walk outside the CRe's bottom
floor, you'll see the nice amphitheater-esque
area with the COM building looming above.
Inside the newly remodeled walls youll find
the Experimental Theater, the Recital Hall,
dance studios, recording booths, professors'
offices, and classrooms furnished with pianos.
Stop by the Costume Shop and ask if you can
walk down the cool spiral staircase. Outside,
sit in the swinging bench which no longer
swings.
the Cooper Point Journal
12. The Child Care Center
If you follow the path around and back
behind the COM building. you'll find the Child
Care Center, complete with outdoor play
facilities. To inquire about how your child can
attend, call 866-6000 x6060.
Nestled in the heart of Housing, the
Comm unity Center is the site of four very
important things: 1) The laundry room 2)
The Corner Cafe, a student-run collective cafe
featuring exceptionally yummy vegetarian and
vegan entrees. Try the Shepherds Pie. 3) The
Branch, the campus convenience store, chock
full with useful and novelty food and beverage
items. It used to be a lot bigger, but Housing
chopped it down to make room for 4) The
mailboxes. Everyone must get their mail here.
New to the Community Center this year
are a pool table and a jukebox. As of press
time, the play list for the jukebox was
unavailable, but we can only hope it features
many songs by The Spice Girls. (That's what I
want, what I really, really want.)
Outside the Community Center, you can
hang out, watch people walk by, read, eat, or
lounge. You may not skateboard, conduct a
drum circle, or play amplified instruments.
18. The Pavilion
The large concrete covered thing
surrounded by a chain link fence out on the field
is the Pavilion. The Pavilion usually goes unused
except for off-campus roUer hockey teams.
19. The Grassy Knoll

,Take a musical journey through Olympia
by Jennifer Koogler
A& E Code Name: Snoop Doggy Spi ce
Beca use Evergreen is secl uded out here in
th e woods of West Olympia (with only a few
houses and <l huge subdivision crowding in), it
may take you awh ile to discover the vibrant
commu ni ty of Olymp ia. This summer, a few
of its res id en ts p ut toge ther a d eligh tfu l

tour ofO ly complete with descriptive musical

complete with a map of the genera l Oly area
and more deta iled maps of how to get fro m
place to place, All you need to do is pop the
tape int o your playing device and start out on
the adventure,
In case you aren't familiar with the Olympia
music scene, it's quite happening. Numerous
record labels abound, including K Records, Kill
Rock Stars, and Yo Yo Records (each of which had
a hand in this project), -Local bands play weekly,
and every few months or soa more widely known
act will stop by (especially during the Olympia
Film Festival, much moreon that in future issues).
The songs on the Go! Olympia tape very much
reflect the overall sound of Oly; eclectic and
sometimes strange, but always honest in its
expression.
The tape is divided into two sections.
Side one explores the southeast, while side two
takes you around the northwest (will th e
southwest and northeast appear on a sequel.
or is Oly just so small that everything's covered
"with two directions?). The tour begins at the
Capitol Theater on 5th Avenue (the street the
41 bus went down on its way into town). The
first song is Story by Paul Pearson. Paul's song
te ll s the s tory (h e says it sucks, but it's
hilarious) of how he was abducted and led to
Oly. Through a series of events which I won't
give away, all the good stuffin Olympia burns
down. This brings up an interesting point and "
one of the core elements ofthis tape. Without
aU the unique places which make Olympia
special, it's just anoth er facel ess strip of
McDonalds restaurants and Targets. The tape
is a celebration of our city's own style and the
community which thrLves here,
" The tape continues to wind around town ,
expounding smooth and bouncy songs along
the way, Sandman and Camo sing a catchy
coun try·esque one about Bread and Roses, a
homeless shelter which serves dinner nightly
(and whi ch you sho ul d vo luntee r at
frequently). That and Termite X-l's groovy
tribute to Old School Pizzeria (the crust there
is best with honey) highlight the first side, Lois
Maffeo and the Portland Girl Chorus sing a
rousing cheer to the fountain all the Capit"ol
campus which will stick in your head for a good
long time. It's followed by Carrie and Sarah's
Come With Me (to the State Library), with a
cool background organ melody sounding not
unlike the Regis and Kathie Lee Show theme
song. I mean that in the best way possible.
The second side begins with a march up
Harrison Hill (that's the hill the 41 bus came
down to get into town) by Krista Krusher and
the Krushettes, The harmonious feel of the
song and the cheery trumpet remind me of
scenes from The Music Man , It runs through
my head every time I drive down the hill now.
The Co-Op Chorus' semi-commercial was
taped live on location at the Eastside Co·Op
(according to the liner notes) is a sassy rhyming ·
song about the merits of Co-Op shopping. I
played it for my friend Kim and she instantly
began to dan ce. Lights and Bells by Pat Maley

the stoplights. They warn pedest-r-ians and

coming. Hmmm, , ,
Andrew Austin (British impo rt) sings
about the experience of coming to Oly as a
visitor in Olympia, You're My Friend. He says
"I guess I could have gone just anywhere, but a
town with a heart wo uld be a head start, full of
people who see m to care," explaining how
everyone hiding from the rain was friendly and
pl easa nt. · His sto ry is tes timony to th e
weicoming nature of Olympia and how hard it
is to leave after you 've been here awhile,
The tape ends back at the Capitol Theater
wit h a song by Oklahoma Scrambl e ca lled
Town, Th e song reflec ts th e sometim es
claustrophobic nature of living in such a tight
community, but the loving nature of th e town
comes through in the end , As th e notes say, it
is sy mbolic of th e love/ hate relationshi p
residents have with Oly.
The Go! Olympia creators left about four
minutes of tape at the end for you to record your
own story of Olympia. I suggest an ode to Otto's
Bagels or A-Dorm. But it's all up to you,
Some of the songs on Go! Olympia go on a
little longer than necessary, some grate on the
nerves a little too much. But it wouldn't be true
to the Olympia experience to have everything be
bright and shiny, Sometimes this town gets on
yo ur nerves (especially during the win ter
months), It's just part of the experience,
Go! Olympia is available at Rainy Day
Records (located on the West side by the Value
Vill age) and Positively 4th Street Records
(located downtown on yes, you guessed it , 4th
Ave,) , All the profits from th e tape go to
Safeplace, a local women's shelter.
