.
Public Safety has always been the most metamorphic of
Evergreen's departments. Every few years, it seems to be
reincarnated into a new form.
Over the summer, it changed shape again.
In September, the seqJTity force responsible for
Evergreen's law enforcement changed .its name fromP\lblic
Safety to Police Services. 'fhe change is more than a name,
though, and could have a far-reaching impact on the Evergreen
community.
The name change signifies an increase in the department's
role. Instead of the role they held before, when intervention .
was limited to certain situations,Jvergreen's Department of
Police Services wili soon bt'a fully functioning, state-sanctioned
police department. Unlike before, the officers will be able to
pursue suspects off-campus, intl!rvene in any situation, and
carry firearms.
. .
When asked if these officers are as well trained as those in
nearby Olympia or Lacey, Steve Huntsberry, Director of Police
Services, says: "JUst as good-or better.'~
Huntsberry goes on to explain that, while the officers have
all passed training at the Washmgton State Police Academy,
.
they have also had training specific to the Evergreen community.
Receritly, the Police Service officers trained 'Yith Ho~sing staff
for better interaction in the future. Down the road will be
training to recognize sexual har3ssm~nt a~d defusing hostile
situations.
The change from Public Safety to Police Services has not
been without its cosmetic changes. Lock boxes for firearms
arrived, and new uniforms-somethlng both authoritative and
specific to the community, Huntsberry says-are being scouted . .
Police Services bought a second patrol car from the Olympia
Police Department. Both cruisers Were re-painted, the most
significant change being the green stripe down the side. Written
down the stripe are the words 'TESC Police'.
The most controversial change in Evergreen security's role
has been the approval of firearms, and.they have arrived, too;
sleek-looking Glock pistols, .40 caliber, sheathed in a holster
specifically designed so that someone unfamiliar with the
holster can't remove the weapon. the officers will wear the
guns between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m., and carry them in patrol cars
during the day. This will begin once the officers finish training
and qualifying. They will have to re-qualify every quarter.
Police Services has also opened a substation in the
Housing community center. This station is currently manned
by Sergeant Darwin Eddy during his shift, usually afternoon to
late evening.
.
Additionally, two more officers will be hired.
. Though they have undergone many changes, Huntsberry
hopes there won't be any confusion about Police Service's role.
He emphasizes the word service more than the word police.
"It's my hope that folks will view us as a service-oriented
group," he says. "The day-to-day operations of th~ officers
should not change. We're still going to unlock cars, pre-pany
stuff.......we're just going to be better prepared."
Asfor the police part of the title, Huntsberry feels it serves
a purpose as well. Referring to the new cal'S, the ones with police
written on the side, he says, "Well, that way people will know
we don't just give out parking tickets."

By DAVID SCHEER
The number 44 bus running between Evergreen anu
through the heart of Olympia's west side has not seen A dorm
for a month and three days.
As of September 1. Route 44 service to Evergreen's dorm
loop was cut. In the meantime; some of the nearly one thousand
student residents of Housing and others living in the adjacent
Cooper's Glen Apartments have noticed the change.
According to one such resident, Summer Burdick, the '1ew
route makes her trips to the~ grocery.store inconvenient: For
her, lugging her bean;;, rice, pasta, and produce across campus
adds significa~tly to the task of getting her groceries home.
Many others haveJelt little effect at afl. F-Iot, the parking
lot reserved for students living in Housing, has been nearly full
during the nighttimes of the past week, indicating that a
number ofstudents are not dependent on public transportation
to get them to and from the dorms.
.Likewise, on-campus students like Andrea Thompson,
who does not have a car this year but is often able to reach the
West Side b~ riding with friends, only take the bus on rare
occasions when it is necessary.
While considering the amendment to the route·, I.T.
monitored the use of the 44 bus to and from campus. According
to information available last Spring, an average of 78 people
rode the bus to and from dorm bus stops every weekday.
As I.T. made adjustments to many of their routes in order
to cut cos ts and make the transit system more .efficient. they
felt that the decision to cut dorm service was logical.
Burdick does not understand why the bus does not make
the detour to the dorms and instead waits for several minutes
in the library loop. "It's not that far out oftht' way [for the bus!.
We're just down the road ... but it makes such a difference if
you're on foot," Burdick said.
John Ford, a fourth year student and Housing resident
who is irritated by the modifications. agrees. Regarding the
CQst and efficiency benefits, "\ fail to see how much of a
difference it really make~," says Ford.
Although he could not attend the public input meetings
held by I.T. last May, John avidly coarhed friends and coworkers
to go and speak on behalf of keeping the doorstep service. For
him I.T.'s decision to change the route means fewer optio~s for
shopping and John feels that this poses "potential financial
hardship."
"I'm a thoughtful consumer," says John. "\ shop around,
\ read the ads, \ make the lists."
For John, carrying "three well packed bags . .. across the
field and through the woous" makes him avoid taking the bus
to west side stores like Safeway and Top Foods. More and more
he is opting for Bayview Thriftway which lie along the 41 route
still serving the dorms. Otherwise, shopping rompetitively now
means hitching a ride.

At the Bread and Roses project, students

On Friday, August 30 at 1 am, three
crime·mlnded individuals broke into several
campus residences. These included R108,
RllO and an apartment in Cooper's Glen.
According to Evergreen Police
ServicesLeiutenant Larry Savage and summer
Housing Resident Director Francis Morgan·
Gallo, the story ufolded as follows.
Francis said that two suspects were
. looking to purchase some marijuana from a
resident in R dorm. Reportedly, they felt the
price was too high and left.
After partying in Coopers Glen, the two
suspects returned to R dorm. They tried
opening Francis' door.

She did, and one of the suspects called
back.
The caller ID supplied Savage with the
name of the person who lived at the address
where the call was made.
Savage contacted a detectiv e who
obtained the address from US West. Savage
and a few of the other Public Safety officers
went to the residence. However, two of the
subjects left before back up from the Olympia
Police Department arrived.
Savage found Francis' bike under some
cardboard. Savage also found the licence from
a bike that had been stolen from RI08.
The woman who initially answered the
door, according to Savage, .. seemed to want
us to go away, so she directed us to the location
of the other bike at another residence." Savage
and his team went to that residence and talked
to the parents.
One hour later, the parents came to
campus with their son and the bicycle.
By this time. Lt . Savage had enough
information to ask the Thurston Co. district
court judge for a search warrant for th e
residence where Francis's bike was found . The
judge gave it to him over the phone.
On Labor Day at 7:30 AM, Lt. Savage,
Evergreen Police Services and the Olympia PO
entered the resid.ence while everyone was
asleep. Says Savage, "I wanted to catch
evt'rybody in bed so they wouldn 't have a
chance to ditch the stuff."
Evergreen PS and the Oly PO
apprehended several individuals who at the
time shared $20,000 worth of warrants.
Almost everything was returned to their
respective owners. Francis got his bike,
. backpack, keys and radio returned , but he
didn 't get his bike light. a poly·pro turtle neck
and a pocket knife back.
His pager had been smashed.
According to Savage, almost all of the
stolen goods were returned. The suspects will
most likely serve from a month to a year in
prison, and each will pay between $250·$500
in fines.

President's sets goals for 1996-97:
Excerpts from lEse President Jane Jervis's self evaluation
INTRODUCTION
This summer I completed my first term as president of Evergreen. In the past four years (Can it be that long?) I have learned and grown in many areas, including:
eunderstanding and respecting the wisdom of the collaborative process;
eappreciating the talent, energy, and wisdom of others;
eunderstanding the public political process, and improving my ability to interact with it;
edeveloping confidence in my own judgement and capability;
-appreciating the magnitude of the task we face in the years ahead.
ACADEMICS:.
The Long-Range Curriculum dtf completed its work this year with overwhelming faculty support; implementation was already under way. Two spin-off dtfs, Advising
and Long-Term Hiring Priorities also did major work this year. Major changes have resulted in the reorganization of curricular planning and the restructuring of the
freshman year. We continue to place renewed emphasis on part-time studies, doubling our offerings and strengthening student support services. Summer school
enrollment was up substantially.
I would like to single out for particular notice the remarkable multi-year institution-wide effort undertaken by Academics and Student Affairs to assess and rer;nedy
a drop in freshman retention. There is a lot of talk about assessment in the education community these days, without a very rich understanding of what it is and how
it should be used. We have done a sharply focused assessment of a particular educational issue, analyzing it from multiple points of view, integrating this effort with
the curricular review that was progresssing simultaneously, using the results to try particular remedies, and assessing the results of the modifications to further fine- '
tune those remedies. Retention is up. Fundamental changes have been made in the structure of the core curriculum. We have created a model process. Once again
we have something to teach the education community.
The opening of the Longhouse last fall coincided with the inauguration of the Evans chair, which allowed us to bring six Native American scholars, artists, and
community activists to campus to participate in academic programs throughout the year. ,In collaboration with the South Puget Intertribal Planning Agency, we
received a substantial grant from the Northwest Area Foundation to support the development and marketing of native arts. In its first year, the Longhouse has richly
filled its promise of enriChing the Evergreen community and supporting our outreach to the native people of the region.
Faculty hiring and development continued to be a focus of attention for Academics. Faculty continue to be successful in attracting funds for sponsored research, and
more than one hundred faculty members attended workshops held during the summer. We face special challenges as we lose increasing numbers offaculty members
to retirement, and some to death. This is an opportunity for reminiscence, for grieving, for cclebration of remarkajJle contributions, and for renewal. '
STUDENT .AFFAIRS:
A number of changes were instituted during this year in an effort to improve services to students in financial aid, in registration and records, in the college recreation
center, for the evening and weekend program, and in career development. With a new director, housing restructured many of its services and is developing an
expanded residential life program. A new campus challenge course was opened, and a refurbished recreation pavilion reopened to serve the campus and Olympia
communities.
Student Affairs sponsored a number of educational programs in support of diversity on campus, with some special emphasis given to policies and services for
students with disabilities, and training for members of the community who work with these students. A new sexual assault prevention week was implemented. The
health center started a peer health education group, and S&A funded a peer gr'Oup wellness program.

The resignation of the director of public safety in the spring of 1995 prompted a review of the department and resulted ina recommendation by the interim director
that we should arm public safety officers. This led to an extended period of campus-wide discussion, consultation, and controversy. At its meeting in mid-February,
the Board ofTrustees accepted my recommendation that we accept responsibility for the safety of the campus and move toward limited arming of our public safety
officers. Adtf:working in the spring term recommended the conditions of limited arming, which I accepted. We are still in the process of implementing those
recommendations, with a new director and a new reporting relationship for the office within Student Affairs.
This issue deeply divided the campus, with passionately held views expressed on both sides, civilly for the most part. The debate revealed our deepest fears and our
highest hopes about the kind of community we have and want to have.
CONCLUSION
This has been a good year, a year in which we worked well together, disagreed passionately without being too disagreeable, faced loss together, and celebrated gains.
As we prepare to celebrate the first twenty five years of teaching and learning at Evergreen, and to look forward to the next quarter-century in a new century, I think
we have much to be proud of. .
As the call goes out from politicians and pundits to reinvent, restructure, or reengineer higher education, we ,:elebrate the wisdom and far-sightedness of the people
who, a quarter-century ago, reinvented higher education by creating Evergreen. We have proven that restructuring works - producing students, faculty, and staff
who know how to work coUaboratively, to understand the connections between things, to get things done, to be engaged in their communities. We have seen the
energy that results from the consonance of theory and practice. And we know what good people, working well together can achieve.

TEse favors individuals despite community rhetoric
-Commentary
Sr. CL AIR
In my two years here I have heard a great
deal about community. especially "building
community," nearly to the point where it
becomes cliche. No doubt the reader has
encountered th e "c" word in his or her
wanderings here as well. But the notions of
community th at Evergreen promotes have
always seemed shallow. Only recently have I
come to some conclusions as to why this is, and
why a meaningful "sense of community" does
not exist on this campus as a whole.
What is community to Evergreen?
Community seems to be little more than
people living, working, and generally,
interacting proximal to one another. This is
undoubtedly a definition of community, but
it seems to lack anything meaningful to human
existence. It is worthwhile to note as well that
this definition of community is the one
generally encountered in social science
dictionaries and thus a relatively recent
conception of community.
This conception of community is largely
an illusion. Really this talk of community is
not much more than the promotion of self
interest and the alliance of those with like
interests , whatever they may be. This
promotion of self interest is reflected in the
various cultural indices on campus. such as the
curriculum, the Social Contract. and Housing.
BY C RAI G
These institutions have a primary influence on
the actions and attitudes of the community
and reflect the college's promotion of
individualism .
Evergreen's curriculum is unarguably
individually oriented. Upon opening the
course catalog to the page describing the
foundations of the curriculum it claims it is
student-centered. It goes on to describe how
teaching comes first at Evergreen. This, while
true in part, translates in real life to mean the
student is King, and faculty are merely there
to make suggestions at the very most. The
evaluation process has the student writing his
own grades as the primary means for others
to understanding his or her work, with the
faculty evaluation as merely an addition to
student comments. I was able to pull out of a
class three weeks into a quarter last year with
a petition. Later I reflected that while I
removed myself from an unproductive
situation, I also intruded on another class that
had already formed a rapport in seminar,
which it would have to rebuild upon my
admission. I also disrupted whatever rapport
myoid seminar had as well. My concern here
though is not to put the curriculum and .its
policies on trial, but only to point out its
individualistic nature.
The Social Contract is the nearest thing
to a governing document Evergreen possesses.
It is basically a statement of one's individual
rights, with responsibilities, that one is entitled
to as a member of the community. Thought
the document laudably places the protection
of others' rights and personal responsibility
above individual freedoms, the essence of the
document conveys that we all have the right
to do what ever we want, so long as we don't
interfere with others individuality. Thus, its
highest aim is to protect everyone's right ofself
promotion. Such a pervasive selfism makes
meaningful community very difficult.
The way in which Housing is situated on
campus reflects Evergreen's ideal of
individuality. Much of the hOUSing offered to
students gives the option of having a bedroom
to one's self. While all such units do have a
common living area, it is easy to shun the use
of this area and avoid contact with other
roommates. In addition, nearly half of the
housing mentioned above is configured like
conventional apartments, without traditional
dorm-style hallways that make meeting people
and associating with one's neighbors much
more natural. The way in which Housing deals
with policy and conduct issues favor5 the
individual over set community standards, in
many instances, in favor of ones personal
growth.
I do not want my above arguments to
sound as if Evergreen makes no effort at
promoting community, I am merely
suggesting that it takes a back burner to the
An evening of Chines'e opera. coming to Olympia
promotion of the individual self, which is ~hat
Evergreen values most. Nor do I mean the
above to sound as I am against self expression,
it has its place within bounds of the laws and
mores of a strong, genuine community.
So, what are my own notions of
community? First and foremost, community
is a place where humans do not think
themselves their own Maker. There is a reality
beyond their total comprehenSion that
provides a source of love, guidance, and
relationship. Second, through this a sense of
commonness and purpose animate the
community to serve the needs others as well as
to fulfill their own callings. All of this is done
with the sentiment that the wheel is not a new
invention of the current generation and that it
is best not to invent it all over again. These are
just several marks of a genuine community, to
list more would lead this discussion to far
astray.
The conception of community most
prevalent is a good starting point, but it f~lIs
short of fostering a meaningful existence.
There is more to community than proximity
and individual rights, which Evergreen favors
at the expense of a healthy community. '
Community and individuality cannot be valued
equally, one will always take precedent.
Evergreen chooses individuality and selfexpression. How else can one explain why we
seem to always be "building community."
.instead of enjoying it.

league victory Sunday by defeating Central
Washington University 3-2.
Things didn't look promising from the
slart as Central dominated play. The Geoducks
turned play around and were able to get on the
board first. Camille Morgan was credited with
III assist to Amy Sprague who took Camilles
long diagonal ball one on one with Central
leeper and put it in the back of the net at the
15:48 mark in the first half.
No longer than 4 minutes later Morgan
got her second assist on a 25 yard strike from
Jean Teather Her shot ended up in the upper
right comer and froze the Wildcat goalkeeper
solid.
With the half closing and a 2-0 lead the
The Calendar
Lady Geoducks had complete control. During
second half action Central closed the gap to
one, with just three and a half minutes gone
by. The Wildcats kept control and domination
up as they knotted th.ings up 2-2 six minutes
later.
TESC didn't give up as they picked up
play once again. Evergreen's work paid off as

low drive into the corner from 20 yards out to
seal the deal:

By JASON BAUMGARDT
TESC mens' soccer team two game win
streak was snapped Sunday with a 1-0 defeat
from Central Washington University in a nonleague match.
Central's goal came in the first half on a
tough shot. Goalkeeper Jason Rojo was there
l>ut couldn't hang on to it.
Coach Wedge commented, "This was our
worst performance on the year.·
The Geoducks outshot Central 10-5 but
couldnit find the back of the net. Besides the
one goal the defense played strong. Late in the
second half Evergreen looked as if they were
going to tie the match on a scramble in front
ofthe net.
The Geoducks had three shots in the
scramble, two of which were blocked by
Central defenders. The third shot, by James
Frost, was saved on a beautiful dive and
deflection out of bounds by the Wildcats
goalkeeper: Evergreens record is now 4-4-i
overall and 0-1 in league play. You can catch
Geoducks mens soccer again on Wednesday
Oct. 2 against league rival Seattle University.
Play begins on field #3 at 4:00 . .

their second straight de.cision by beating
NorthwestCollege.in.a non-league match 5-1.
The Geoducks outshot Northwest
College 20-1. Mike Goebel started things off
early with an assist from Adam Fenster. TESC
dominated the entirety of the first half allowing
oshots. Goebel added two more goals before
the half making it 3-0 in favor of the Geoducks.
Collin Rogerson was credited with assists
on Mike's other two goals.
During the second half Evergreen kept
dominating and added two more goals. Mike
Goebel scored his fourth goal and Adam
Fenster capped off the scoring drive making the
score 5-1. James Frost and Dave Zumwalt were
both credited with assists.
Coach Wedge said, "This was a fun game
because·it allowed me to get everyone some
playing time." Wedge also co.mmented, "This
