TARZAN'S G IRL

I am the da ugh ter of a monkey man.
A father who called himself the "Suicidal Tarzan."
He swung from my dresses in the afternoons and asked for my girl
kisses by night.
Not really a father. a lover more approp riately.
I am the accumulation of all of his primal insanity.
Born with the genes brought to me by his tiny fishes .

As graduation draws near, the dreaded questions
becomes more frequent. "What are you doing with your
life?"
The statistics compiled by Career Development
Research and Planning show that Greener grads do
pretty well in the real world - almost a quarter are in
professional fields.
The most recent report available prepared by the
Office of Career Development shows that in 1990 82
percent of graduates were employed or were pursuing
graduate studies.
But is the future so bright for
1995 grads? These

Greener grads are taking the challenge to become

by joining about 85,000 other graduating college

Jervis asks to cancel
classes for Rosh
Hashanah

The final touches are bei[lg put on the
interior of Evergreen's Longhouse Cultural
Center in time for its opening next fall.
The Longhouse,located between the
Seminar building and Lab II, was built to
give cohesiveness to the Evergreen
campus. It has a "Welcome Hall"'that can
be used to welcome new students to
campus. It also has classrooms available for
programs.
At press time, the Longhouse had
about a half an inch of sawdust on the
floor and lacked carpeting .

The first day orFa ll quarter"l995.is Monday, September 25.
It is also the beginning orthe cycle ofJewish high holy days that

initiate the Jewish year. .
.
,
Jewish staff and students recently inform'ed Evergreen
President Jane Jervis that they will not be com ing to school or
pursuing their regular work activities.
In a May 24 memo to the Ca mpus Community, Jervis sa id
"Staff have the option of observing Rosh Hashanah by taking
by taking a leave day and not coming to work on September
25. We ask that stafl notify their supervisors if they are not
choosing to observe the day."
In her letter Jervis said that the she, and co·writers Barbara
Leigh Smith, Les Purce and Art Constantino, were worried
about "not putting students in a difficult situation."
Because the first day of class is important in orienting
st udents to their programs, Jervis and her cohorts "strongly
encourage that faculty members to consider cancelling Monday
rlasses."
Jervis and her friends say they are taking steps to ensure that
a similar conflict does not occur in the Fall of 1996, when the
beginning of the academic year is closely aligned with Yom
Kippur, the Jewish high holy day that ends the new year cycle.
"We will closely monitor the calendar in future years to
ensure that this conflict does not occur again," said Jervis and
the administration posse.

Campus recycling

The S&A board recently gave $7,]50 to the creation of three
new recycling sites on campus. The money will be used to

a survey to determine the quality of groundwater in our area.
Groundwater is water that collects in the ground People

estimates that more than 99 percent of the drinking water in
Thurston County comes from groundwater. We all drink it
and it tastes good.
The survey will invol ve inter views with nearly ]500
homeowners clustered around public wells (groundwater
comes out of wells). The su rvey hopes to identify real and
potential sources of groundwater con tamination . The
contaminated groundwater tastes like the kind that comes out

This is the first time a survey of this type has been done in
these commu nities. acco rding to Mark Blosser, City of
Olympia water resources engineer. "We've worked so hard that
our two cities can undertake this project together. It will
answer questions we've been asking for some time. Once we
get a picture of the risks to our groundwater we'll be in a
position to protect it for generations to come."

Crisis averted on Elwha, but users need to clean off files

Honoring the M

by Reynor Padilla

Geoduck

CPJ Sraff Writer

A crisis was recently averted on Elwha, the computer that
provides the Internet services to TESe.
Use of disk space on Elwha was over 90 percent ofcapacity.
In other word the hard drive was almost full. When the hard
drive becomes overloaded, performance on the system becomes
severely compromised, says Joseph Pollock, Elwha's Network
and Systems Administrator.
All files created in Pine, Elwha's e-mail program, are
automatically saved, Pollock explains, even the files that are
written and sent to other people. Pollock says that Elwha has
"sent-mail" from '93 still on the system .
"We just want people to clean up a little," said Pollock.
He also said it's easy to delete or download old files to a disk.
The computer center can probably function through the
end of the quarter without deleting any files, says Pollock.
After that , Pollock will be going through the system and
deleting some of the older files. The Computer Center also
deletes old Internet accounts (those that are not renewed over
the summer),
People who wish to keep their accounts over the summer
should file for a continuance, even if they won't use their
account again until next Fall. Continuances should be filed as
soon as possible. Go to the front desk of the Computer Center
to find out how.
The Computer Center will be adding more disk space in the full,
said Pollock. 'Things should be more comfortable," he said. . ,

Pennsylvania, Keffo writes this about
temp work, "Temps get little notice,
yet temp workers are quickly
becoming a majority sector of the
workplace. Take a look at the want
ads, Temp jobs are everywhere and so
are temp workers: Temp jobs really
are the jobs of the '90s. Why is this
so? [n a nutshell, greedy bosses no
longer want the hassle of having to
pay a decent wage and benefits to
workers, instead they'd rather hire
easily disposable rent-a-workers."
Jessica Trupin is a former
Evergreen student now living in San
Francisco. She works part ·time
through a temp agency doing
secretarial work. She doesn't do
telemarketing because, "it sucks
worse than death."
Tropin's makes at least eight
dollars an hour and has earned as
much as eleven an hour. She said, "it's
amazing that you're actually getting
paid for mindless drudgery."
She has no benefits, no paid
time off for vacations, holidays, or
sick leave and she has no health care
plan where she works. She could
qualify for benefits after enough
hours, but she only works part-time.
Trupin said that she's enjoyed
some of the jobs she's taken and she
said that the agents are nice and tried
to find cool jobs for her. She receives
two free meals a day when she worked .
for a culinary institute.
Trupin is only working with the
temp agency for the time being
because she's been traveling and will
get more permanent, full time work
after she's done moving around. _

Program Director responds
to criticism about KAOS
On Tuesday night this week, a group of
KAOS folks gathered to discuss my proposal
to re-broadcast Pacifica News at 9:00 pm.
Diana Arens distributed a letter at the meeting
which is printed in this issue of the CPI I thank
the CPj for allowing me to write a response,
and Diana for her dedication to community .
radio and bringing up some good issues in her
letter, although some of her words gave a false
picture ofKAOS and the people who work here.
First, this proposal (to run Pacifica again
af 9:00 pm) was my idea. not that of the "KAOS
Power that wants to shuffie volunteers as if they
were a dime a dozen." This is a ridiculously
misconceived not ion. I fully respect the effort
of voluntee rs, which is why I presented this as
a proposal.
If we could produce news half as good
Pacifica I would run it, because it is local, and I
believe in supporting our local area. Our news
department whi ch begins this summer will
help to fill this gap. Pacifica is a supplement to
the other excellent programming we have on
KAOS.
Why did I think of this idea in the first
place? One of the reasons a Program Director
exists is to respond to listeners requests. When
I receive several phone calls and participate in
discussions where people say they often miss
Pacifica News and would like to have a chance
to hear it (again) at another time, I believe these
people should not be ignored. They are the
ones making the effort to contact·me. I never
received one phone call or letter this year
indicating that listeners wanted to hear the
programs which air after 9 pm earlier in the
day, but I heard plenty about Pacifica. So, it
becar:ne time to address this issue. I dist ributed
a memo to 8 pm and after programmers
(because they are the ones who would be
affected by a schedule change) to present my
ideas and organize a meeting. Before this time.
I called some listeners and went through our

of these 60 cards 50% percent noted Pacifica,
30 percent noted other public affairs type

addition to the phone calls and discussions.
demonstrates a strong need for the proposal.
don't you think? Well ... at the meeting
(attended mostly by KAOS programmers who
do shows after 9 pm , due to my lack of
outreach) there was overwhelming disapproval
of this idea, even hostility toward my thought
of even touching the 9 pm programs. It was
decided that music is news, for certain people
and these are the only people who matter.
Maybe one person at the meeting mentioned
a desire to serve other people (like those who
ca ll me) beyond the niche with whom they
identify. KAOS exists to serve listeners, that is
what the Communica tions Act tells us and we
are here to give a voice to all members of the
community. Our perspectives may differ on
whowe should serve, but we can't ignore those
who request a change.
If you have a need for important news
that yo u can't hear anywhere else (like
Pacifica), then we need letters to: KAOS,
Program Director, Evergreen State College,
Olympia WA, 98505. If you have a need to hear
rock and experimental music earlier in the day
also write us. If you don't agree with any of this,
let us know. We are here as your resource, and
you are the ones who can place your vote. The
need to have Pacifica at a more accessible time
for everyone will continue to be addressed
throughout the summer, so place your vote in
this process.
Spencer Crandall, Program Director

PS. I'm short on time, so if you leave a long
message I may not hear all of it. Phone calls
are welcome, but you can write a letter instead.

National White ~ Important inaccuracies found in article
House·call-in day for
peace len Guatemala
by Michael Harblirg
Evergreen alumnus

J

Monday June 5th: This is a crucial- repeat, crucial
- moment for the future of Guatemala, with the signing
of the Peace Accords due this August, after 30 years ofcivil
war. The delicate unfolding of the peace process in the next
few months will determine the balance of powers for many
years to come.
As always, the heavy hand of the United States can
make or break the peace process. Right now we need to
pressure the Clinton Administration to support the
popular movement in this process! There is a National
Call-in Day to the White House on this Monday, June 5th.
All concerned individuals are urged to take a minute to
call the White House Comment line and urge Pres. Clinton
to 1) support proposals for demilitarization in the peace
process, 2) push for a purge of human-rights violating
military officers and 3) make a clean and decisive break
with the brutal Guatemalan military. Ask Mr. Clinton to
support the proposals of the "Assembly of Civil Sectors".
The United States needs to forcefully SUppOTt the
civilian sectors as they struggle to build the foundation of
a more just and civilian-controlled body pOlitic in
Guatemala. And we need to forcefully tell Pres. Clinton to
do that. The struggling people ofGuatemala need our help
- apathy is unwarranted.
Please take a moment and do it - Call this Monday!

Student Athlete

1 am concerned about the future of
intercollegiate athletics here at Evergreen. I feel as if
the "endless opportunities" and "well rounded
education" that students and faculty speak of so
vehemently. do not apply to Evergreen's student
athletes.
Although it was Evergreen's unique and
unconventional style of education that first appealed
to me. the chance to participate in intercollegiate
athletics was a large part of my decision to come here.
To me, a "well rounded" student is someone who is
both mentally and physically fit and for me, sports
challenges both of these areas. Athletics have always
been an important part of my life and although 1enjoy
playing many different sports, soccer is my passion. I
use the word "passion" because I want you to know
that it is more than just fun for me. It is something
inside of me that craves the competition, the thrill of
the game, and the kind of intensity that drains my
bod)' both mentally and physically. It is also a way for
me to express my strength, agility, and mental
quickness. To me, soccer is art. It is my form of
expression, and 1 express myself through soccer.
This brings me to my question about
opportunity here at Evergreen. Why does Evergreen's
seemingly open policy towards a well rounded
education not apply to intercollegiate athletics?
Should these opportunities be unavailable to students
simply because it is an unconventional form of
education and not appreciated by everyone? Wait a
minute ... this is beginning to sound like the

description in the catalogue of what Evergreen is all
about. The chance to explore different areas, express
personal views and strive for diversity. When you
think about it, it only makes sense that when the
activities that make each of us individual are taken
away, diversity no longer exists. This seems to go
against the very philosophy that drives this school.
There are no limits to the education
possibilities. Students can essentially "create their
own education n and are encouraged todo so; that is
the beauty of Evergreen. It just makes me wonder
who should have the right to close the doors on my
opportunities. Should it be the students who have
no interest in participating in intercollegiate athletics
(because they have the votes to do it) or should it be
the administration who decide "what is best for
Evergreen as a whole"? Maybe someday it will be the
art program or sciences that come under the knife,
and then there may be a few more in support of the
diversity here at Evergreen. As
for now, I encourage
students to become
more informed on the
issue of intercollegiate
athletics. It is an issue
of choice, do those who
choose
not
to
participate in any
campus program have
the right to deny other
students' access to the
program that rounds
out their education.

·'Plastics"

I

~

As you have probably heard, plastiCS are being added to the list of recyclable materials for collection at TESe. Yes, greeners, you can now recycle plastics on campus ... but wait! This is where things get confusing.
Plastics manufactures came up with a series of numbers to identifY
different types of plastics. This number is usually found on the bottom
ofthe container inside of the "chasing arrows n symbol. Most people associate this symbol with recycling and recyclability. Currently, there are
no regulations governing the use of this symbol and manufacturers are
free to use it at their discretion.
. At this time, #l and #2 plastics will be collected on campus, but
this does not mean that anything with these numbers can be recycled.
Why you might ask? The answer lies in the manufacturing process.
Polyenthylene Terephtalate (PET or PETE) is the type of plastic designated as #1. This type of clear plastiC is used to make soda and water
bottles through a process known as blow molding. Salad trays and other
clear plastic containers are also made with PETE using a process known
as extrusion molding. The two processes require different resin additives and therefore cannot be recycled together. The easiest way to tell if
your #1 can be recycled on campus is to make sure it has narrow neck, a
screw top and no handle.
High Density Polyethylene (HOPE) is designated as a #2 plastic.
This type of plastic is stronger than other types and can be found in a
variety of shapes, sizes and colors. For example, milk jugs and laundry
detergent bottles are both HOPE. All #2 plastics will be accepted, except for #2 motor oil containers. Motor oil residue is a contaminant.
Materia[s preparation is another important aspect of the recycling
picture. For both #1 and #2 plastics,lids must be removed and containers should be rinsed thoroughly. By following these simple steps, you
can reduce the amount of contamination and help minimize the health
risks associated with sorting these materials. Remember, these containers will be handled by others during the recycling process.
If you have any questions or would like more information or other
recycling issues, please contact the Recycling Office at x6843.

our proposal to the S&A Board. Our proposal
was for three new recycling sites in the Housing

We are extremely pleased to announce
that the board decided to contribute $7,IS0.00

EDITORIAL

Narrative Evaluation: What I learned from and about Evergreen, 1991-1995
by Pat Castaldo

Administration and Attitude

Managing Editor

"Whoa, you're from Boston, how did you
pick Evergreen?" started many of the
conversations in fall of my first year, 1991.
[ formulated two standard responses,
comic and actual.
Comic: "You know that big book of
colleges? [just opened to Evergreen."
Actual: "You know that big book of
colleges? I wanted a school that met the
following criterion: it had to have a radio
station, a computer science program, a theater
arts program, be on the west coast near the
water and far from the east coast, it had to be
public and it had to be cheap."
Pretty simple expectations. It had to be a
public college, because [felt very strongly then
and still do today, that a government has a
responsibility to assure its populace is an
educated one. People should never stop
educating themselves; not as individuals nor
a society.
Evergreen, as per the catalog and course
descriptions, was a perfect fit . It had KAOS, a
24-hour computer center, a black box theater
space, its own beach, it was a state college and
it was relatively inexpensive.
The course catalogue, the only thing I got
to read about Evergreen before coming, doesn't
really tell the whole truth.
KAOS isn't the college station I expected.
The computercenter isn't open 24-hours
anymore.
The first time [ went to the beach, the
naked people frightened me. (They frightened
me the last time I went, too.)
Members of Washington's legislature
don't value education as much as you would
hope, and either through outright closure or a
slow defunding process, are killing this college.
One thing happened along the way that I
never expected, something that the catalogue
didn't even hint at. I became the Managing
Editor of the Cooper Point Journal.
The Cooper Point Journal has 3,500
copies printed each Thursday in Shelton ,
Washington. We have over 6,000 estimated
readers. We send the paper to our parents.
Bill Clinton wrote us a letter asking to be
put on the mailing list, and we didn 't. The

EvergreeIl, 1991-1994.
PAGE ' 8 JUNE

1, 1995

If the administration wants to do
something, they'll do it during the summer. It
is that simple. Example: Basketball. Despite
rhetoric, I do believe this has been a done-deal
since the beginning.
Anything can happen during , the
summer. Remember the logging behind
Cooper's Glen? When I asked the owner ifhe
would just give up the logging, he told methat
he never would. He said that they'd just wait
until the summer.

Focus on the Irrelevant
A lot of times, Evergreen gets far too
focused on the unimportant, the trivial.
Example: Basketball. People are all concerned
with how much
additional
sports
programs are going to
cost. People have this
thing in their head that
basketball would spell •
the end of Evergreen. It
won't. It might actually
be fun.
[ like basketball.
I've gone to Celtics games since [was a kid, sold
hot dogs at high school games and played
games of 21 every afternoon after school with
my dad.
Evergreen currently gives scholarships
based on athletic skill. They do not give
scholarships based on academic prowess ,
That's the real issue people aren 't addressing.

Too-Late Syndrome
Evergreen students have a tendency to
complain about things after it is too late. Then
complain some more. Example: The CPj.
If you don't like the CPJ, if it doesn 't
represent you, then you need to come in and
change it. The few people who do volunteer
their lives away can't think of everything. They
can't write everything. They don't want to. The
.CPJwill always need your help.

People can and should write for both.

Government & Legislature
If.you know you are going to be going to
school here for four years and are from out of
state, register to vote here. Get involved in local
politics. True power is at the grass-roots level.
If you are from Washington, register to
vote at home, Let your representatives know
who you are and what you're doing. It never
hurts to be on a first name basis with your
politicians, even ifyou disagree with them. Tell
them what you want, and if they can't give it to
that you will vote for someone else.

KAOS
['m not going to lie. I hated KAOS for
three solid years , Abhorred it. Thought it
sucked, Would not listen to it.
This year, that's changed. Not because
I\-e grown fond of folk music, but because I
took the time to learn KADS ph il osophy.
"AOS is do-it-yourself community rad io.
It is a resou rce. There's plenty-o· room for
improvement. but it's pretty good.
In radio, you are never going to have the
freedom YOLi do in print. Radio is a lim ited
medium, there are only so many radio stations,
where there can be (idea lly) an unlimited
nurn ber of newspapers.

,

Do you like hip-hop music? Have you
noticed the lack oflive hip-hop music present
on this campus? You are not alone. Jason
Bachove and Shawn Parke noticed this "lack
of rap" and decided to do something about
it. They have spent the past quarter putting
together the Phunky Phat festival. The June
3rd day long hip-hop show will feature 18 of
the Northwests best hip-hop bands for FREE
in Red Square. To the founding fathers
knowledge this is the largest free hip-hop
show in Washington's history. I recently
spoke with Shawn and here are some
excerpts from our conversation_
Tom Dell: Why hip-hop? Why free?

Shawn Parke: Well, [ like hip-hop a lot
and I know a lot of other people on this
campus do as well. And Jason and I were
talking about how there is no live hip-hop in
this area. There is an overabundance oHolk
and punk that is presented on this campus,
which leaves a true hip-hop fan frustrated.
So we pooled our resources to bring the stuff
in. And it has to be free because that is what
hip-hop is about, it's the roots of hip-hop.
T: Who's gonna play at the show?

S: Well from the Olympia area

"Did you see that girl over there with
no shirt on? Yeah, she's just sitting there halfnaked. This is like fuckin' Woodstock or
something, man. This is coo!!" said some
dumb girl sitting near me.
Someone once told me that for 10,000
dollars the Beastie Boys would come and play
at your party. On Memorial Day, for only 25
dollars (plus a bit more for concertenjoyment-related purposes) I got to be at
their party.
[ knew it would be crazy, the pre-Beastie
Boys revelry among my friends began the
night before and we left four hours before the
gates even opened (let alone before the show
began) in order to have plenty of time to
hang out in the parking lot. However, I hardly
expected insanity on the magnitude of
30,000 people, all with the same level of
excitement and dedication to becoming
completely looped as the people I know.
As I looked out across the grounds and
saw the sea of skin, eyebrow pierces, and
brand-new tattoos that was rippling under
the bright sun, my first thought was, "Oh my
God, my mother is right; everybody my age
does look alike!" But it was merely a fleeting
notion, and I decided not to dwell on it.

Debut solo album from -one celebrated Hurricane
by Bryan Theiss
Hurricane is best known today as the
DJ for the Beastie Boys (a role he's filled since
the Raising Hell T~~rJn) 986). But his
history in hip hop spans bae kto the early
'80s, when he was with the Solo Sounds, who
were considered the first rap group from
Hollis (we're taking pre-Run DMC here). In
the late '80s he rhymed with Davy D and in
'90 he was one of the Afros.
So it's surprising that The Hurra is
Hurricane's first solo album, and it's ironic
that his audience will probably be confined
mostly to Beastie Boys fans (who generally
aren't rap fans) . But the album really should
be of interest to people who respect the
Beastie Boys as musical innovators ~ it gives
you a good id ea what Hurricane's
contribution has been to the Beastie Boys'

White Zombie used to rock hard

crowd went wild. I had made the mistake of getting up close
to the stage before the music began and as soon as the first
note of the first song was played, I got squished like a bug.
Arms and legs and dust and sweat were everywhere, swaying
back and forth. It was intense and amazing but I had to move
back to where there was some oxygen.
I wish I could tell you the set list, or even how long it
was. When people talk about it, mentioning certain songs
that they thought were great or saying it all went on for two
hours , Inod. I can remember it when they say it, but alii can
remember was that I heard a bunch of songs that I liked,
with really neat effects. It was a beautiful night, the Boys were
goin g crazy, and even though I lost everyone I knew, I was
completely happy in my beat-induced trance.
I was mildly annoyed that we really had to kiss their
ass for an encore, screaming and lighting lighters and stuff.
However, when they finally came out again these insane,
flashing lights exploded off the stage, so I guess it was worth
it. I wish they hadn't ended the show with "Sabotage" because
even though it's a good song, it seemed a little commercial
as a finale. Still , with energy I didn 't have and a throbbing
headache I did, I jumped up and down with the rest of the
crowd.
No, the show wasn 't Woodstock (thank God) regardless
of varying degrees of nudity, and it did induce some feelings
of generational claustrophobia, but it was an amazing party
and the Beastie Boys rock my world.

group and wasn't aware of it. Don't ask me
where the thrill of having my mother drop
myself and my friends off for a few hours
while our mouths salivated at the latest Pet
Shop Boys tape or a black pair of penny
loafers. Newly budding independence
celebrating itself! Perhaps. Maybe I was just
sucked into the vacuous vo id of plastic
existence before I had the ability to fight it
off or at least regulate it.
Would anyone like to get together a
group contract to study mall rat syndrome?
Ifyou find yourselfin need of a birthday
card for your Aunt Clara or itching for the
new Catherine Wheel CD, by all means, head
to your neighborhood mall if necessary. But
please take precautions as not to become
enraptured by the phenomena. Purchase
your items, remain courteous to those
hard-working employees, perhaps take a
stroll about and then leave.
It is going to be a nice summer.
Stay outside.
