The Evergreen Political Information Center (EPIC) is
bringing politically active speakers to The Evergreen State
College.
EPIC invited three speakers to offer well informed critical
perspectives in activism,.media, and prisons, sa id Ben Walters,
co-coordinator of EPIC. In EPIC's mission statement it states,
"We seek to create ;f sustained community of educational and
political concern ...Our goal is to bring about a critical awareness
of the issues which affect our lives." EPIC is interested in
promoting progressive political action, saiq Walters. "We're
always trying to do things that go along with our mission
stateme nt."
Another reason EPIC is bringing these speakers is to teach
people how to be an activist in con'temporary society, said
Walters. "We don't just want them to come speak, but also have
'tangible activist projects."

North Cascades Institute, an award-winning nonprofit education
organization, offers more than 70 natural history field seminars
throughout the year. field seminars are multi-day outdoor learning
adventures for adults. Small groups explore Northwest landscapes
by trail, kayak, research vessel, van or bicycle as they learn about
various aspects of the natural world.
Topics range from birds, butterflies, insects and bats to wildflowers,
seaweeds, salt marshes and ancient forests. Through archaeology,
ethnobotany, railroad history and traditional crafts, students discover
the cultural history of human interaction with the land. Other courses
focus on creative expression, including workshops on watercolor,
colored pencil, fabric art, pastels, poetry and nature writing.
Seminars take place along the rocky shores of the San Juan Islands, in
lush forests of the Puget lowlands, flower-strewn alpine meadows of
the North Cascades and fragrant eastside Ponderosa pine forests and
sagebrush steppes. Accommodations vary, and include remote
backcountry camping, car campi ng in state and national parks, rustic
cabins and exquisite resorts. Instructors are leading Northwest

break with the "black stereotype" of

Student I~bbyists push to g~in
autonomy for S&A fee ·allocation
By D avi d Scheer
Editor in Chief
Stude nt lobbyists from other
Wash ingto n four year inst ituti ons are
pushing for legislat ion that will grant
students the fi nal say as to how Services
and Activit ies money is spent at public
colleges and institutions across the state.
Presen tly, the governing boards of
Washington colleges and universit ies have
the last wo rd as to how S&A mo ney is
allocated. At Evergreen. that means that
th e Board of Trustees must give its
approva l to the student-generated
proposals.
Members of the Washington Student
Lobby are hoping to increase the
aut onomy ort he S&A Boards and disable
the Trustees control before the end of this
So you want to:be a
legislative sessio n.
Evergreen's S&A board coordinator,
Erin Ficker, docs not entirely agree with the ·
WSL agenda. On the one hand, says Ficker,
student aut onomy is important, and
student money should be spent the way
students wa nt to spend it. But Ficker can't
remember any time that the Evergreen
Board of Trustees have supersceded the
student"s wishes.
Ficker says that Evergree n's board has
been set up differently tha n boards at 0 1Iter
institutions. As Ficker exp lains, state law
requires only that students are represented
on their S&A boa rd. At Evergreen students
comprise the board entirely. Elsewhere,
says Ficker, S&A boards are made IIp of
students and school officials.
Then try II!riting news.
Non-fiction writing is the new
training ground for professional writers,
according to two-time Pulitzer Prize winner
Jon Franklin.
Gone are the days when beginning
writers could forge a path into literary fame
by writing short fiction, he sa id in his book
Writing For Story. We're not talking about
true life made-for-TV movies. We're talking
about the types of stories that propelled
writers like Hunter S. Thompson, Susan
Orlean and Tom Wolfe into stardom, We're
talking about the type of stories that could
give you the chance you need.
How .the S&A board works:
Evergreen's Services and Activities
(S&A) Board works throughout the school
year composing a pro posa l for how the
roughly one million dollars generated by
S&A fees will be spent.
Generally, S&A money is put toward
student ac tivities, med ia, and services.
Budge ts fo r Tier One acco un ts (the
Childcare Ce nter, the CP]. KAOS, the
Recreation Center,. an d the S&A
admi nistration) are revised every two
years; budgets for Tier Two accounts (all
other studen t groups) are revised annually.
In the spring of each year, the S&A
board presents its pro posa l to the Vice- _
Pres ide nt of St ud ent Affai rs, Art
Costantin o. He reviews it and in tur n
presents an executiye summary - a bare
bones report of how much money goes to
Tier One and Tier Two - to the Board of
Trustees. If the Board ofTrustees approves
the budget, it goes into effect.
Every sp ri ng a new S&A Board
coordin ator is hired for the upcom ing
school year. The coordinator is selected by
the current board members.
Every fall a new set of board members
is hired fo r the school year. They are chosen
by the ne~ coordinator, a panel offormer
board members and Tom Mercado. Says
Erin Ficker, th is yea r ~s S&A Board
Coordinator, hiring of board members is
aimed at creating a diverse gourp of people
who ca n be critica l and open-minded.

Swimming Geoducks give
strong showing in final event
By James Carsner
Contributing Writer
The small ba nd of The Evergreen State
College's swimming Geoducks concluded their dual
meet season with a loss against the larger Central
Washington Wi ldcats. The meet was marked with
season-best swims and strong divi ng. The next
meet will be the Ce ntra l Was hin gton Open,
informally known as Conference, and will be on
Friday, Feb. 21 to Sunday, Feb. 23. This wi ll be the
final meet of the season for those not qualitying for
NAIA Nationals on Mar. 6 to 8 dt the Ki ng County
Aquat ic Center (KCAC).
The men 's 400 medley relay (Matt I-leaton,
Carren aura, James Carsner, and Joh n St. John)
11Iissed qualityi ng for NAIA nat innals by right
seconds, which can easily beachieved this coming
weekend duri ng the Ce ntral Washington Open,
when the men are shaved and tapered. Tory Ringer
gave a surprise performance in the 50 freestyle with
fin ishi ng time of 23.YO, and Carsner. giving a
season-best pertormance, missed his natiu11al cut
in the 400 individual med ley by less th an two
seconds. Wade Jardee placed second in the one
meter diving competition. When asked for his
thoughts on diving, lardee replied, "Divers rock! "
Jardee, in addition to diving, competed in the 100
freestyle and 400 frees tyle relay. He swam well
considering the one meter diving and 100 freestyle
are back-to-backevents, which allows littletime for
recove ry. Swim ming his last dual meet of his
college career, SI. John swam a season best time in
the 100 butteriiy, fini shing with a 1:04.74. a ura,
also in his final dual meet, battled fe llowGeoduck,
Nate Mahoney, in the 100 breast stroke, finishing
with a time of L05.58 ahead of Mahoney's 1:07.22.
The Geod uck wo men, co mposed of only
fOLir members at thi s meet (M ilu Karp, Tammi
Anderson, Sara Lampo, and Stephanie Hansen)
gave the best of themselves in the pool of
competition. Lampo. who return ed this seaso n
as a diver dou bling as a sw immer, showed a
strong but terfly swim on the 400 medley relay,
in addition to her diving and 100 yard freestyle
events. Anderso n and Hansen showed strong

COMMENTARY~
Now that it 's my third year at The
Evergreen State College, I have begun to notice
a pattern that seems to develop in seminar
discussion no matter which program I happen
to be in. The seminar begins with the
particulars of a book and eventually leads us
to conclude that the wo rld is pretty messed
up. One country exploits another lor its cheap
labor, th e rain for es t is quick ly being
destroyed, AIDS is transterred to another
person every second worldwide, and teenage
drug use and gang-re lated violence in America
is increasing all the time. The problems go
on and on. How are we, as students, able to
do anything about them? The conclusions we
come to in sem in ar always seem to leave me
hopeless.
An honest look at the hist ory or
mankind shows that problems in the world
are neither new nor have humans been able
to eradi ca te such evils as slavery, war,
economic oppression, abuse of the weak,
theft, or prostitution. All th ese are found
throughout history and across cultures .
Although they take different forms and are
manifested to different degrees, we have not
~een able to get rid of them.
What then is our hope as we face the
problems in this wo rld? Humans cannot live
without hop e. Without hope, faCing the
adverSity of life can cause depression and
drive people to suicide. People continue to
live because they have hope that in the next
minute or week or year something better than
this moment will come. It is easy for us to put
our hope in plans for social change or politics
or cures for diseases because they are tangible
ways to feel in control of our world. However,
history shows us again that there are false
hopes for permanent eradication of our
problems . Most of our hope see ms to
disappoint us because it is only temporary. I
hope that when I graduate I can make a living,
February 20, 1997
yet what happens when this hope is fulfilled,
what hope comes next?
Hope is on ly as worthwhile as the object
in which we put our hope in . Often we put
our hope in things that may never occur or
that bring us little reprieve from our cu rrent
situation. Cancer patients have sustai ned
their spirits in the hope that the cancer would
die, only to die themse lves. Hope for reunion
has susta in ed the mother whose child has
been kidnapped for years, only the child is
never found.
In a problematic and changing world I
have found a hope in Jesus Christ that is steady
and that has never disappointed me. He gives
me hope because he not only explains the
reasons for all ofthe destruction in this world,
but he helps me to have a lesser role in all of
the destruction. Jesus showed me that man's
rebellion has separated himselffrom God and
that justice mu st be paid for our
transgressions against God. When I
understood that Jesus was crucified on a cross
to take the punishment I deserved for my
transgressions, I realized that he is a God who
suffered greatly so he could have a
relationship with me. When I think about this
demonstration oflove for me, it gives me great
hope that I will spend the rest of eternity with
a loving God. My hope for th e future
enhances the quality of life I have in this
world. I know that this world and these
struggles are not ali I have. Now whe~ I find
myselfin seminar discussing the problems of
the world, I do not despair and feel that I must
tackle them myself. Rather, I put my hope in
the Creator of the universe and have "a faith
and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal
life, which God, who does not lie, promised
before the beginning of time" (Titus 1:2).

ridden generation known as X. The
other stood for a group characterized
by external anger, violence, and
ghettoization- black youth. The
difference between the two heroes and
their sub-cultures is the direction of
their anger. Cobain and Gen X focused
their anger inward. Shakur and black
youth focused their anger outward. It

There is a larger social context to
the problems Tupac raps about,

Day of Absence off the mark
COMMENTARY~
Dear Editor:
We would like to address the iss ues
surrounding The Evergreen State College's
;>bsession with political correctness. It has
reached the point where the apparent attempt
to connect people with common struggles is
alienating others. For example, all of the
cultural groups: the Irish group, the Jewish
group, the Latino, and people-of-color groups
seef!! only to segregate everyone from each
other. It would be nice to think that people
could come together because of common
passions based on something other than
genetics or upbringing. Another example is
the confusion a non-heterosexual is faced with
due to the plethora of sub-groups, created
around speCific sexual orientation. For
instance one would have to ask themselves:
Am I a bi-woman? Am I a Lesbian Avenger?
Am I a queer of color? Agay man? Agay male
writer? Agay male croquet player? Instead of
uniting under the belief that although we have
differences, we will never understand each
other if we keep magnifying those differences.
A big problem we had was with the Day
of Absence/Day of Presence on Feb. 6 and 7.
We understand as well as the next person aU
of the issues surrounding racial injustice and
by no means attempt to understate them.
However, we feel that it was a self-defeating
the Cooper Point Journal
endeavor, for it forced Evergreen students to
see color where they might have been tryi ng
to transcend labeling in the first place. By
removing the students of color to make the
point of how much they contribute to this
school, and then re-instating them the next
day, we felt the message was "Do not see us as
fellow students, see us as fellow students of
color."
The only way we would notice they were
gone is if our minds were set up to scan the
people on Red Square chanting, "white-whitewhite-white-white-white-not white-whitewhite." Hopefully this is not the majority
mind set. If it is, then perhaps we're the
minority.
In conclusion, we feel that differences
can be recognized and respected, and we
realize that genetics or cultural upbringing can
make one identify strongly with others that are
similar to them, but we urge Evergreen
students to concentrate more on the cliched
saying "United we stand, Divided we Fall."
Sincerely,
Lyra Kilston and Geoff Watland
(two students who feel that their race, culture,
religion, gender, and sexual-orientation are
irrelevant in this instance.)

Diversity
neglected on
campus
COMMENTARY~
Allow me some to tickle your
nostalgia bone for a moment. Take a
journey with me... back to a time when a
g-eoduck wasn't even part of your
vocabulary. My mind's eye recalls a school
culturally and politically diverse. Form my
dorm room three time zones away, I can
remember looking forward to a school
where you were not only allowed, but
encouraged to think. Imagine that.
Reading through the catalog conjured up
visions of a community, liberal and fresh,
with ideas and ambitions, of all
nationalities and ethnicities. I guess that
was a logical assumption given the high
number of people ofcolor in the catalog and
the rhetoric given to diverSity. It is too bad
that yet anoth~r institution is talking the
talk, but not walking the walk.
Reality Bites. I don't think I need to
address the whiteness of The Evergreen
State College and Olympia to any extent as
it is painfully obvious. Here's a humdinger
for you: there are over 600 students ofcolor
at Evergreen. On a typical day, I might see
15, 25 if I squint really hard. Something is
seriously amiss here.
On the surface, criticizing on the
institutional level seems absurd. After all,
~reen can't make students of color
come to campus and any quotas might by
some be deemed unfa ir. I think it is
importantto look deeper at subtleties. Last
week's Day ofAbsence and Day of Presence
are a prime example of Evergreen's lack of
commitment AUegedly, the institution is
in support of this event. President Jane
Jervis issues memorandums annu illly,
notifying faculty and staff of the event and
emphasizes Evergreen's support. As is the
case for the catalog, this is just rhetoric.
This paper pushing token leads to nothing.
It is the experience of virtually every one of
my peers of color that the school has made
no effort to support this event. When
approached by students of color about
being absent, most were told, "it's OK, but
you'll have to make it up," as if to say, "sure
you can try to raise awareness and promote
community like the catalog preaches, but
you'll have to do it on your own time." Once
again, students of color are dealt a short
hand.
More importantly, however, is how
this affected the Day of Presence .
Regardless of how faculty may have
responded to students of color when
approached, I'm quite certain no efforts
were made to encourage the general white
campus to take part in the Day of Presence.
This is disturbing and frustrating as Friday's
events were so rewarding to those who
attended. Friday's workshop addressed
crucial issues that, had most of the student
body been in attendance, would have
clarified so many misunderstandings across
cultures, colors, genders, sexual differences
and ethnicities.
I can only conclude that Evergreen has
been misleading and altogether negligent
concerning diversity on campus. Until we
can find a supportive community of color
and an understanding among the general
student body, Evergreen will continue to
draw an insignificant number of students
of color, failirg in the commitment to
diversity. I Sincerely hope that someday the
Evergreen we see in the catalog will make
itselfapparent in this neck of the woods. In
the meantime, we, the very few, will
continue to be misunde'rstood and
discriminated in ways invisible to white
students, faculty and staff. Discrimination
will continue_ .. business as usual.

What happened in the board of
Irustees meeting? A 10\ of information was
presen led during Ih e day. Hillary Rossi
from the CP} was there for the whole
meeting so I am sure the nuts and bolts will
be covered. I want to share my impressions.
Creating and maintaining the image
of The Evergreen State College as a valuable
lea rning institution deserving of state
su pport is a major concern of the board. I
noticed in their discussions a co ntinu al
co mmitment to bring the valuab le
contrib utions of our college into view of
legislators and funding sources.
Evergreen is the most highly
subsidized college. This commi tment to
alterna tive, 'cutting edge education was
made by state law makers when they
created Evergreen. Now it is difficult for this
generation oflegislators to be as visionary.
Therefore the board must defend Evergreen

EQA responds to comic
COMMENTARY •
To the Evergreen Community:
I am writing this in response to the
comic by Llywellyn Graeme, "Year Two"
from Volume 21, Number 6 of the CPj (Feb.
13,1997). In this comic, Mr. Graemeseems
to imply that the Valentine's Swing Dance
put on this last Friday by the Evergreen
Queer Alliance was an exclusive event. To
the best of my knowledge in organizing the
EQA Swing Dance this year, no one was
asked not to help with, or not come to the
dance. We flyerI'd campus looking for any
interested people to help set up and attend
the dance. Mr. Graeme and any other
interested people regardless of sexual
orientation, gender, race, ethnicity, physical
ability, or any other reason, were and are
welcome to help plan and attend any EQA
events. Your input and involvement is not
only wanted. but necessary. The third floor
of the CAB (where student groups are
housed) is not an exclusive area, I welcome
aU members ofIhe Evergreen State College's
community to stop by and see if there are
any groups they are interested in finding out
more about. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Shawn Samuel
Co-coordinator of the EQA
Evergreen.
The underlying purpose behind these
concerns is a commitment to keeping
Evergreen true to its founding purpose and
open to as many stud ents as possible. This
is the reason these women and men gather
seven times a year.
In my report, I sta ted there is a wide
spectrum of response to the questions
around public safety, and relayed the
concern as to whether Police Services has
met all the criteria for arming. I was assured
weapons would not be issued until all
criteria are met. I am reachable at x6106, by
e-mail studentrep@elwha.evergreen.edu.

I need your input to represent you.

Dear Ed itor,
The artide by JefLucero, which appeared on
page three of the Feb. 6, 1997 issue of the CPJ, may
leave some readers with the idea that the final
decision had been made by Vice President Art
Costantino about The Evergreen State College
remaining in NCAA Division III, and adding
women's volleyball and men's baseball by 2001.
That ~ an option by not the final decision. That
option, along with moving to NCAA 1I or staying
with NAlA , will be examined further during the
next few years. Questions may be directed to me
for ti.lrther clarification.

Skywalkers usually rise to the upper
echelons of administrative power
because they are easily respected
both by their peers and bosses. The
Han Solos tend to remain among
the working class (often by choice)

employers, often as union

necessarily as positive of a thing as
it appears. The girlfriends/
boyfriends of the Luke type (when
they have them) almost always are

relationships last longer. Han tend
to have quick, flirtatious encounters
that, at best, last only a few months.

I have this theory. Itgoes like this: Most
males fall into one of two categories - the
rogue starpilot or the Wide-eyed boy scout
jedi knight.
'
I am , of course, talking about the
differences between Han "The scruffy
looking nerf-herder" Solo and Luke "A little
short for a storm trooper" Skywalker. NOTE:
Lando Calrissian can be substituted for Han
easily.
It's a simpleJhingreally, no matter how
hard you try, one can't change their basic
personality type, Each personality type has
its pros and cons.
The Luke personality tends to be
methodical and be entrusted with some
great all-encompassing power (a force if you
will), and can be a born leader because
people in power respect his decisions, The
drawbacks to the Luke persona is this: No
matter how much people like and respect
you, they'd generally rather hang out with
the Han personality simply because he's
more fun , The Luke (you know who you are)
types tend to have few friends, but they are
deep friends who would do anything for you.
The Han persona often is a little more
on-the-fly in his thinking and generally
doesn't take things too personally. This
archetype also leans towards being a good
leader but for djfferent reasons - people just
like being around him (ie. he's fun because
he 's less predictable). While the Luke
personality will have only a few friends, Han
knows everybody. This doesn't mean these
are close friends , but rather the contrary.
Han-types could not walk across the campus
without at least six people saying "Hi" to him
while the Luke types are lucky to get a
friendly nod, When it comes to close friends
though, the Hans average about the same as
the Lukes (a three to four person main circle
of friends with an additional supporting
network of around five).
There are many ways these personality
types play out in our society. The Luke

commercial instinct and viabili ty- wh ich
their predecessors have lacked- to land them
prominently and permanently on th e
musical map, Their full length debut on Epic
spills across the spec trum , retaining old
hardcore sensibili ties while also tending
toward a crafty newfound penchant for pop
delicacies.
In order to get a true feel for this band,
listeners should be aware of the dues they
have paid to get to where they are now (on
the cusp of serious fame), and where they
will soon be (the Grammy podium). Each
member has performed and recorded with
a cornucopia of other bands: guitarist Peter
Mengede was with Helmet for their first
three albums, guitarist Tom Capone was in
Quicksand from conception to demise,
vocalist Jeremy Chatelain sang for Iceburn ,
drummer Pete Hines played with New York
stalwarts Murphy's Law and the Cro-Mags,
and bassist Eddie Nappi played oui with
several fledgling bands. Thmw in producer
Terry Date , who has worked with
Soundgarden and the Accused, and yo u
have the recipe for success.
The fITst single. 'Needles', introduces
a glimpse of the formula concocted
throughout the album : chunky guitars and
unobtrusive distortion; fancy, brooding
bridge~; __~!lccinct yet sweet choruses; and
Chatelain's modest, resonating voca ls.
which keep the whole package nailed down
in relative simplicity. 'Ride Down' follows

with a melodic vibe 3ml a beautifully airy
chorus. while 'Going To Panic' geh back to
the cr ux of thin gs , lean in g heav ily un a
vicious, biting ba:;6 lin e,It serves as a perfect
prelu de to 'Left Of Heaven'. which may be
the strongest track on th e album , Pay
particular attention to the mix here: it opens ,
with a cras hing. wide open guitar riff. then
follows through with an ensuing an th emic,
pummeling chorus. Things continue at a
phenomenal clip with 'Thrown Away." the
track which best encompasses the range of
this band: a fierce, crushing mid-tempo rip
woven perfectly around an atmospheric riff
that loses none of its intensity, despite its
divergence.
Things taper off somewhat at this
pain\. with the remaining highlights being
'Lead Bellied,' which matches Capone and
Mengede's interplay against Hines' frenetic
beats, 'Quiet Liar.' a quiet and haunting take
on int rospection, and 'Swimming,' which
itself is an averagr song. ye t hold s a
pos itively perfect moment in musi c wilhin
its bridge,
Terry Date is a supreme talent. His
mixes showcase thr dual gui tar talents of
Capone and Mengede, while also
pun ctuating the extraordinarily seamlrss
rhythm section of Nappi and Hines, The
gui tars are the intrinsic factor, but Nappi's
gorgeous bass lines provide the backbone,
The only marginal spots are 'Dim the
Lights,' which suffers from C~atelain's
weakest vocal efforts (not to menti on a
chorus that simply does not hook) , and
'Waiting, ' which from start to finish is just
, a bad song. But what seems compelling is
that these songs might sound good if they
had been written by a mediocre band ,
Coming from Handsome, though , they are
flat and listless,
Handsome are the stuff, plain and
simple, They've got all the tools. they are
the full package deaL This is a masterful first
work, and it should certainly garner them
massive attention and accolades. Check this

The Evergreen Queer Alliance held their 4th annual Valentine's
Day Swing Dance on, yes, you guessed it, Valentine's Day, Friday, Feb. 14.
And yes, you guessed it, swinging time was had by all.
The action began at 9 p.m . with live music by The Big Bang Band
(above), who provided jazzy upbeat tunes for participants to tryout
their moves on as well as slower numbers for snuggling.
The extravaganza took place in the Library lobby, lavishly
decorated with lights, balloons, and a huge disco ball hanging from the
ceiling. At tbe b~t~orn of the stairs stood a large canopy constructed
entirely out of balloons by Evergreen staff member Richard Johnson .
Swing it, baby. Dance--goers Jamie Dillemuth (left) and Monk
Ms. Hallie Kuperman ofThe Swing Sisters instructed the
attendees, most of whom took the opportunity to step out in their
Devereaux (right) take advantage of the swinging tunes to get down
and funky,
swankest costumes, on the basic steps of swing, including a few covert
action moves like inside turns and twists .
The Valentine's Day Swing Dance was co-sponsored by the .
Women of Color Coalition, The Women's Resource Center,and the Rape
Response Coalition .
