The squirtin' Geoducks of Evergreen may
not be graded in class, but the school recently
made top grades from Alaska to Texas in an
annual poll published by US News & World
Report, The poll, America's Best Coileges,
ranked Evergreen as the number one regional
liberal arts college in the west.
A statistic that most colleges are
clamoring for will be used in moderation at this
school. Arnaldo Rodriguez, Dean of
Enrollment Services, said, "Although ifsalways
very nice to be mentioned, ours is a soft sell,
not a hard sell."
He also said that the really important part
of this story was that in addition to Evergreen
receiving top honors, the honors came from
colleagues at other colleges.
Co llege presidents, deans, and
admissions directors were responsible for
rating each school's academic reputation . The
rest of the information came from each school
in the form of statistics and percentages.

resources, graduation rate and alumni

Evergreen was one of the few publiC
colleges that made the top ten. Rodriguez said
that the academic component of the college is
organized to make the faculty accessible. He
added that instead of research , "Teaching here
is number one."
And will the respected and highly rated
halls of this institution be flooded with
applicants? With a smile Rodriguez said, "It
would be nice of course, but that is hard to
determine."
He said instead there will probably be an
increase in information requested about
Evergreen from students and parents.
Several other colleges and universities in
Washington ranked in the top fifteen of their
respective categories. Of regional universities
in the west, Gonzaga University (Spokane)
came in fifth, Whitworth College (Spokane)
came in eighth, Seattle Pacific University
placed tenth, Pacific Lutheran Universit y
(Tacoma) came in twelfth and Western
Washington University (Bellingham) rounded
off Washington's showing at thirteenth.

Dogs on campus:
Loose dogs pose problems for
working dogs and owners
by Lisa Corwine and Reb Pearl
CPJ COl1 tributinf! Write/'s
We <\11 like dogs-well, most of us.
With the disappearan ce of the ca mpus
kennels and the recent increase in working
dogs and aggressive dogs, there has been
a "dog problem" of sorts in this
community.
Loose dogs can affect the sa fety of
the publ ic and disturb conditions of
working dogs on campus.
The Evergreen State Coll ege pet
policy states that" .. .. Pets and other
animals may be on campus only when
under the physical control oftheir owners
or keepers ... ". They are not allowed in
buildings unless they are "guide animals
accompanying disabled persons, shows or
other similar approved events .. _",
Dog owner Michael Iris brings his
golden retriever, Maggie, on campus, He
keeps her on a leash ..... so I won't get in
trouble".
Michael feels dog policies are kind
of "ridiculous" and that pet owners should
have a good enough relationship with
their dogs to handle them verbally. But he
understands that not all dog owners are
responSible enough to train their dogs
well and not all breeds of dogs are the
same.
Dawn Hultman, administrative
secretary for Vice President of Student
Affairs Art Constantino, has peripheral
shadow vision and is assisted by her
working dog, Wendy. She points out that

Wendy would be free from distractions
such as loose dogs, This is impossible at
TESC and in most public places where
Wendy does her job.
The pair have been only "slightly
affected" by other dogs in Hultman's two
months on campus. Squirrels and barking
dogs seem to be her biggest , or most
occurring problem.
Other dogs can be aggressive around

CPJ Contributing Writer
It is 1967: The Washington State
Legislation passes an official act founding
The Evergreen State College_Two years later,
Charles Teske is contacted after making
noise over academic departmentalization
while teaching at Oberlin College. The
following year, Teske was hired as one of
three Academic Deans. After vigorous
recruitment, 18 planning faculty members
begin working on an alternative education_
"Initially we did not have any mandate
whatsoever to do what we did," recalls
Teske. "What was alternative about us was
the whole way we organized the conditions
under which student and faculty members
meet."
Part of what the original planning
faculty succeeded in doing was to create a
set of "simple forms" Iha t lent themselves
to dynamic change_ These simple forms
later became Coordinated Studies,
originally called "theme teams," and
individual/group contracts.
The alternative conditions that
continue to function have always
contributed to an air of mystique and
misunderstandi ng.
The College appeared especially
credulous given the landscape in which it
originated. Amid Kent State, a succession

Evergreen was not always so welcome a
community member_
"!twas so easy to say what we weren't
going to do, but to try to explain what we
were going to do and why we were going to
do it waL-very difficult-" .
For Teske , the idea of continual
change seems inherent to Evergreen's
nature. From the beginning, everything
from the curricul um to the architecture was
designed for the idea of change and
expansion_
"The performing arts building"
which Teske designed "is only in stage
one ... You really can't understand this place
unless you realize that by now we were
supposed to have 12,000 students."
It is 1994. This quarter Charles Teske
partakes in, what seems to be, a long
tradition of interdisciplinary academic
wprk . Alon g with individual co ntract
sponsorships he is currently endeavoring
to transcribe audio tapes of the ea rl y
planning meetings.
When asked what changes he would
like to see in Evergreen's future . Teske
energetically replies, "I would fight fierce ly
for us to build a protective wall with many
doors, so that people on the inside ca n
work themselves to death studying what is
really important." •

Jervis recommends semester conversion
by Pat Castaldo
CPJ Mallaging EdiTOr
On Wednesday, Oct. 12 President Jane Jervis will
recommend to the Board of Trustees that Evergreen
convert from its current quarter system to an early
semester calendar.
This decision is the result ofa long process which
began last fall when Jervis commissioned a
Disappearing Task Force (DTF) to address long-range
and strategic planning through the year 2010. The DTF
had representatives from all facets of the Evergreen
community; students, faculty, staff and trustees. An
interim report was presented to the faqlity during their
February 1994 retreat.
The suggestion arose from the discussion that
ensued at the retreat to convert Evergreen's calendar to
a semester system. Unlike the current quarter system,
which has three ten week sections (Fall, Winter, Spring),
the semester system has only two 15 week periods.
"Semesters allow for greater depth of
com mitment." said Jervis as one rea son for the change.
Many students were opposed to the idea last
spring, for a variety of reaso ns. The primary one.
brought up again and again, \l'as that with onl), t\l'O
chances to select classes, students' ed ucational
experiences lVould be ~{'verely limited. Students felt they
would be "stuck" in classes they didn't like, with no
chance to sw itch. Some students com plained that 15
weeks is a long time in a class you are unhappy with.
Another reason students were opposed to the
switch was that tuition would have to be bigger to
compensate for the longer quarters. Many students
have felt added pressure this year already, as tuition is
now due in its entirety at the beginning of the quarter.
The simple matter of class beginning earlier in
the fall presented problems for other students. Classes
would begin before labor day, and end in May, perhaps
posing difficult ies for those seeking summer
employment.
Two open forums were sponsored by the deans
on March 9 and April 6, 1994 so that staff and faculty
could receive student input. The meetings were well
attended, and covered in-depth by the Cooper Point
Journal.
Faculty then m-et on April 13 in unprecedented
numbers. A vote was cast 49-41 in favor of the
conversion. The faculty vote proved influential in Jervis'
decision, though many students were still dissatisfied.
Students expressed feeling completely left out of
the loop--that despite Evergreen's student-centered
philosophy, students had no say and it was the
faculty'S decision.
Jervis addresses this issue in her Sept. 22
memo to the community; "In any college or
university, the faculty is responsible for the
academic program. Though there may b('
st rong stud ent' in vo lveme nt in the
development of programs or curr icula , th e
professional responsibility rests with the
faculty for designing and conduc tin g the
curriculum, assessing st udent s and certitying
student completion of academic programs and
their eligibility for degrees."
This debate lasted until the end of the
academic year, when the majority of students,
faculty and staffleftfor summer vacation. The only
new information Jervis recejved during the
summer months Was the budgetary reports from
different departments.
"It will cost money at first," said Jervis. Her
memo cites a one-time conversion cost of$50,000,
mostly for computer reprogramming . The
estimated total to be saved annually after the
conversion is $19,000. While Jervis says the cha~ge
"makes sense economically," it is not her only
reason for recommending the change.
Pedagogy and energy are the two primary
reasons Jervis listed. Pedagogy refers to the type of
education provided at Evergreen. Because courses
are traditionally year long and interdiSciplinary,
"many faculty members and some students believe
that semesters offer the opportunity for greater
continuity and depth of study in a program. that
having some students leave and others enter a
program twice during the year is disruptive to the
functionin g of the seminar or of research
programs, and that semester-long internships offer

CPJ Contributor
I am getting rather disturbed at how a lot
of people at this school, and in this society in
general, seem to view the Islamic world. Often,
when discussing religion and the topic ofIslam
comes up,l tend to hear things like, "Muslims?
I've heard some kinda bad things about them.
Seems like they're pretty militant. Also, seems
like they treat women pretty badly; they make
them wear veils. and they wont let them leave
the house by themselves, blah blah blah."
In particular, Islam's treatment of women
seems to be very dominant in many peoples'
minds. Granted, Islam is a very patriarchal
religion. But guess what else, my friends?
Christianity is patriarchal. Judaism is
patriarchal. Hinduism, that religion with all
those beautiful gods and godesses is, believe it
or not, very patriarchal! And sure, Islam is
probably the most patriarchal, but the margin
isn't as great as some would have us believe.
I recall watching a segment on one of
those superficial "news" shows like 20/20 or
60 Minutes about Islamic culture, which made
a point of continually emphasizing its
patriarchal customs, especially the use of veils.
Also. I once listened to a rather
conservative radio talk show about Islam. In
addition to vilitying them for their patriarchal
customs, the commentator was saying that,

Both the women's and men's teams are back out on the fields
gearing up for the fall season. New coaching, new talent and a lot of
dedication are combining to produce a positive season for both
teams. The Hellcatz, Evergreen's women's team, are off to Seattle
this weekend for their first game of the season. They will go up
against Western Washington University and the Breakers in a round
robin in which all teams will be sided against one another.
The men's side hits the pitch Oct.8 for their season opener.
They will host a scrimmage against Western on the main fields.
Over the summer, the men's team had a successful summer 7s
season (seven people a side rather than the usual 15). The team's
highlights included a sweep of the first annual Super Saturday 7s,
rugby under lights in Vegas and capturing the title of the first
annual Celtic 7s Tournament.

Liz Phair sings of her Whip Sm,art life
Sculpture:
by Pat Castaldo
Thr~€'-man
Liz Phair is singing to me. Her 1993
release Exile in Guyville begins, "I bet you fall
in bed too easily." She sings of sex,
relationships and life in a matter that's aLI too
honest and a little too real. Emotions swell,
from overwhealming sympathy - I've felt
like that, to intense anger - I've felt like that,
too. You can't help but think that she's either
singing right to you, or is you.
Her second album, Whip Smart,
released this month begins "I met him at a
party and he told me how to drive him
home." She weaves a tale offreedom and self·
confidence . She sings openly about the
potential encounter, throwing in a fuck here
and there. She swears not for dramaticism,
but because it simply fits. People swear in
real life. People say "fuck." The songs feel as
if it is going somewhere, an engaging story
you'd overhear from a friend at a bar, but it
ends simp ly; "I drove him home and
dropped him off, because secretly I'm timid."
Fourteen songs roll out of Phair 's
sophmore attempt, a bit softer, perhaps a bit
more innocent than her double-length
premire. The arrangements are much tighter,
the album feels a natural progression from
what the Village Voice named 1993 Album
of the Year.

irregardless to the truth of the stories she
tells. She lies She tells Rolling Stone, "I tend

In combining concrete with other

of textures in his work. For color he uses
concrete colorings in a range of earth

Ql
Eggs: You know'em, you love'em, here's a way to cook'em
When I offered to go write a review of
Language of Landscapes, the exhibit in the
Washington Center lobby opening October
6, the first thing I thought of was bark. Bark
is good, especially in your parents front yard,
as long as they put plastic underneath so the
weeds won't grow through,
I was pleasantly
surprised by the work of
regional artists brought
together by curator
Jrffree Stewart.
For the past
several vears St ewart
has wanted to put
together a show that
looks at landscapes from
the Northwest. lIe has put
together this show to "reflect a lot of
different aspects" of landscapes to see
different ways of expressing the same thing.
Steward says the pieces are a look at
where the artist lives and "reflects on that
essence not immediatly obvious". Pieces
from the '20s to the present are hung on the
three floors o!'the Washington Center lobby.
"[n a landscape that
desperately needs color,
why do flowers
stay
close to the ground?
you meet them with surprise
hidden
in the pale grasses"
This poem by Robert Sund, from a
collaborative piece in the show, best sums up
the opposite of what this exh ibit represent&
to me. These artists have found the character
in landscapes themselves, witliout having to
look at the obviolls pretty things.
From silhouette mountains of oil in
colors of yellow and red, to black
and white photographs
oflight and
textures on
a roc k wall,
to pen and
inked boat
So, how do you cook them?
How about frying? FrYing is a bit broad,
so how about a specific way to fry an egg.
How about Toad in the Hole? I like it, I hope
you will too.
.
Put a good, and I stre~s good, frying
pan on a medium heat; then put some grease
(buttar. margarine, oil, etc.) in it.
While the pan is heating, take a piece
of bread and your average drinking glass.
Take the glass and creatively press the open
end into a slice'ofthe bread so you get a circle
IDiagram AI
Watch your eggl
For Over Easy: Wait until the white
looks pretty solid, but the middle is still
pretty raw. In other words, wait until your
egg is practically done. Now, turn it over with
your handy spatula. At this point, you smust
let it cook upside-down for 10 to 30 seconds,
depending on how done you like your eggs.
For Sunnyside Up: Put a top on the
frying pan , even ifit is not ~ prefect fit (but
all good frying pans have a top that fits
prefectly). Let it cook for about a minute.

docb , and
passages of
literature and
poetry related
to
landsca pe~. these
works represent landscapes orall types from
the Nort hwest. while bringing out the
tangibility and/or color often ignored in
landscapes.
The show opens up Wednesday
October 6, with a reception from 5:30 to 8
pm. The Washington Center lobby is

cut out of ir(See Diagram A).
Eat the Circle.
Now, lay the bread in that beautiful,
heated frying pan (That is the "Hole"). Then,
crack an egg into the hole you made in the
bread (That is the "Toad').
At this point you have a difficult choice
to make: To turn it over or not to turn it over.
I personally prefer over easy, because, well,
it's easy, and it's a way to make my bread get
toasted on both sides. But if you like your
eggs sunnyside up, that's OK too.

the occassionallong distance call.
Check that egg often for signs of doneness.
Signs of doneness.
The white should be solid and the
middle should be getting pinkish. You could
even melt a slice of cheese on top of it if that
catches your fancy.
Now, your Toad in the Hole is done.
Scoop it up with that handy spatula from
before and plop it right down on that plate
you stole (uh, borrowed) from the Greenery

TIllS IS WHERE
PEOPLE ARE PUTTING
TOO MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS.
E
very year, a lot of people make a
huge mistake on their taxes. They
don't take advantage of tax deferral and
wind up sending Uncle Sam money they
could be saving for retirement.
Fortunately, that's a mistake you can
easily avoid with TIAA-CREF SRAs.
SRAs not only ease your current taxbite, they offer a remarkably easy way
to build retirement income-especially
for the "extras" that your regular pension
and Social Security benefits may not
cover. Because your contributions are
made in before-tax dollars, you pay less
taxes now. And since all earnings on
your SRA are tax-deferred as well, the
Bmefit -.from tIIJ& tk{erTYIl.
money you don't send to Washington
works even harder for you. Down the
road, that can ~ake a dramatic difference
in your quality oflife.
What else makes SRAs so special?
A range of allocation choices-from the
guaranteed security of TIAA to the
diversified investmen t accounts of
CREF's variable annuity-all backed
by the nation's number one retirement
system.
Why write off the chance for a more
rewarding retirement? Call today and
learn more about how TIAA-CREF
SRAs can help you enjoy many
happy returns.

Trax brings you the
roots of modern music
by Naomi Ishisaka
If you were too old to remember some
of the classic R&B hits that became the base
for much of the rap we hear today, Rhino
Records has once again put together a
compilation for you.
The label that brought us "Street
Jams: Hip Hop From the Top," Vol.
1-4, "Street Jams: Electric Funk,"
Vol. 1-4 and my
personal favorite
"Soul Train: 20th
Anniversary" Parts
1-3 , ha s now
created a brand
new series
honoring
the early
work of fo lks
like Cameo who
in words of the
album liner used to
be, "...t he size of a
small tribe." Very
different from the black rubber
clad trio of my youth.
Although I was unfamiliar with
most of the tracks on Volume 4, the other
four albums featured such favorites as
George Clinton's Atomic Dog. A quick
favorite from Volum~ 4 at our apartment
was "She's a Bad Mama Jama" by Carl
Carlton for its eloque~use oflyrics and its
tricky beat.
Most of the music was created in the
early 80's and most appeared in the R&B
charts Top Ten, notables being "Mama Used
to Say," by Junior and "Mr. Groove" a
Parliament-Funkentelechy-esque cut
by One Way.
If you 've never
liked "that kind of
music" before, Phat
Trax could be a
good bridge for you
into the booming
"Old School"
scene.
If
you're a
rap
aficionado, you'll
especially
appreciate the last
two tracks which
are sample·heaven.
You'll hear where Public
Enemy, Rob Base and others got
their inspiration (and samples).
Naomi likes to kick it Old School style on
a regular basis. And she kicks it quite well.
A
(illick favorite
at our apartment
was "She's a Balt
Mama Jama"
liveos up to
theoir nameo admirably
by Demian Parker
"Dear K. I need more Heavenly. Send
immediately. This is an emergency."
Those are the words I wrote on my
order form to Olympia's own K Records
(Box 7154, OlyTown, 98507). J have never
bought music thru the mail, let alone
thought of buying something through the
mail from my own town, so that may tell
you something of my feelings for this
Oxford, England based five·person band
(Amelia, singing and writing most of the
songs while playing guitar; her brother
Mathew on drums; Cathy singing and
playing keyboard; Pete on lead guitar: and
Rob on bass).
I fi~t heard the Oxford-England
based group just under a week ago as this
paper goes to press. To be honest, I usually
don 't go in for the bubblegum-pop sound,
but this disc has not left my CD player.
Maybe I'm just in love with Amelia's voice,
but I don't like to think that is true.
Instead I like to think it is their way
of not hitting you over the head with their
message, but sneaking it under your
mental radar by combining it with some
of the bippiest pop sounds to come along
in a long time.
An example may be called for of their
lyrics. Under the pop stylings of the song
me and my madness we have the lines: "I
hear things in songs when they're not
there/ I see things in darkness when I'm
scared/l feel cold when it's sunny / Cut my
hair then I cut myself/ Hurt myselfinslead
of hurting him ."
Or how about modestic's : "When I
wake up on Monday/ I don't know why I
ever let you stay/ Not a night to remember/
I think you better be gone by Tuesday/
Don't be sad when I tell you/ That you have
got to go ... I just want to wake up alone."
Imagine those words sung in true
Mary Poppins style over some oftlle most
cheerful organ-driven pop music you can
imagine, and you get an idea of how
Heavenly work.
My roommate has started using the
name Calvin (as in Calvin Johnson - K
Record's ubermensch) as an adjective
("That last episode of The Bev was way
Calvin!"). I would have to say Heal'enly is
so Calvin it rots my teeth.
Demian thinks yo u are pretty Calvin
yourself.
