Toxic fumes force Library evacuations
by Edward Leroy Dove
and Seth "Skippy" Long
No one knows exactly what is
causing the health problems that have
forced repeated evacuations and closures
of the Library Building, despite the best
efforts of TESC Facilities, the campus
office of Environmental Health and Safety
and a toxicologist from the state
Department of Health.
Campus Health and Safety Officer
Jill Lowe has stated that the recent health
hazards in the Library Building have never
included airborne asbestos.
After a Monday meeting with
Library Building employees, Executive
Vice-President T. L. "Les" Purce
commissioned Lowe to locate an
environmental consultant specializing in
industrial hygiene to determine the cause
of the recurrent health problems.
Purce also commissioned Facilities
Director Ken Jacob to contract an outside
mechanical engineer to work with the
environmental consultant on improving
Library Building air qUality.
At about 2:30 Tuesday afternoon,
Construction Coordinator Robert "Bear"
Holmes alerted Jacob to the presence of an
unidentified chemical substance soaking
cardboard boxes in a storage cage in the
Library basement.
When asked what the substance
might be, Lowe said, "We have not
figured that out yet," but speculated that it
might be Nature Sol 100, an industrial
cleaning agent.
THE NIGHT BEFORE WINTERTIME BREAK
'Twas the night before Wintertime break
and all through the school,
Not a creature was stin-ing, not even at the pool.
The stockings were hung on the drying .:rack with care,
because the dryers were broke ... no s urpri se there.
T h e students were nestled a ll snug in their be ds,
while in the Mods lice c raw led all over their heads.
The kids with their packed s uitcases and I with my sack,
were ready to leave and maybe n ever com e back.
The rain on the ca mpu s f in a ll y did som e good,
for the Greener y, fo r once, s m e lled like e dibl e food.
\Vhen out at A-Dorn1 there arose suc h as so und ,
I sprang f r onl 111y futon to see w h at was goin g down.
Getting to the window was like moving through fog,
I tipped over the b u rning cand le and tumb led over the dog.
Wh e n what to nly wondering eyes s h ou ld I see ,
but a firetrLlck, and amb ulan ce, ancl three sec uI"ity .
With all of A-Dorm huddled arm in arm,
I knew in a mome nt it must be a fire alarm.
While all throughout Housing the sound of loud music came,
and we hollered and shouted and called them by name:
Now Sharkwig, now Mugwump, now Sky Cries Mary ,
on Helltrout, on 10 Pound Bag, on Ministry.
From the bowels of school housing to Capital Mall,
now thrash away, thrash away, thrash away all.
Then over to the Corner the vegans all flew,
for a plate of yeast, sprouts, and a clove of garlic or two.
And then with a woosh I heard the espresso cart,
and the smell filled up the room like a really good fart.
Needing a quick fix, I presented my cup,
and they blessed it with a double-tall, with vanilla syrup.
The Branch was buzzing with a special, comforting glow,
it was a fresh shipment of Ben and Jerry's Choc. Chip Cookie Dough
As I was leaving the Branch, I met an old man,
•
who was old enough to be on the 20 year plan .
His eyes were all red, his speech was all slurred
he said he had the munchies and could fly like a bird.
He smoked a little pipe and carried a mug full of beer
and he said, "Hey man, any good kegger ' s around here?"
Back at the house where the world is safe and sacred,
they were watching Almost Live like we always do, naked.
And as I slept that final night , clutching my plane ticket in my hand,
I couldn't help but think, isn't college at Evergreen grand!
.
The substance gave off an odor of
"something smelling like insecticide or
turpentine" consistent with recent reports
from Library Building employees.
Library Building occupants noticed
the insecticide-like odor after chemical
fumes and ventilation system problems
combined to force several Library
Building evacuations and shutdowns
during December and early January.
Students and employees were
evacuated from the Library Building on
January 7 and 8, as well as December 16,
18, 21, 22 and 23, due to health
complaints by Library Building occupants.
The reported symptoms included
burning eyes, headaches, respiratory
constrictions and nose bleeds.
According to Lowe, the suspected
causes of the recent health problems are
fumes from chemical compounds; Citrex
and .Nature Sol 100, used to dissolve the
asbestos-containing mastic adhesive
exposed during carpet removal in the
Hillaire Student Advising Center (SAC) on
the first floor of the Library Building.
Removal of the SAC carpet,
suspected as a long-term health hazard
itself, began December 14 after the
temporary relocation of the SAC to
Library 4300 due to toxicity tests on
carpet samples that indicated possible
health risks to humans.

Sara Steffens and Seth·
.
Study, Vice-President for Student Affairs
Art Constantino said that the College would
help each student make up the lost hours and
that no Leave was available.
Additionally, in a January 13 memo,
Puree asked for Library Building staffmembers to volunteer to serve on an advisory
committee on building air quality.
Members will participate in facilitating communication between Facilities, Library Building employees and users, and the
campus Office of Environmental Health and
Safety.
Any persons interested in participating
in this advisory committee should contact

At a meeting of Library Building employees in the Recital Hall on Monday January
11, Executive Vice-President T. L. "Les"
Purce reassured employees that in the event
of additional Library Building emergency
closures and evacuations, Administrative
Leave would be authorized to compensate
for time lost at work. He added that if employees suffered health problems that forced
them to leave the building, Administrative
Leave would be available also.
In the event that the College provides
24-hour notice of a closure, normal vacation
or Compensatory (Comp.) time needs to be
used in place of Administrative Leave.

Address Correction Requested
by
way of a reported acquaintance rape that
occurred in campus housing Dec. 4.
A bulletin distributed around the
campus stated that, "the woman reporting
the incident wants to caution other
students and emphasize that people who
experience rape can talk to Housing
student managers, Counseling Services
and/or Campus Safety."
"The victim in this case chose not to
go through the regular criminal
prosecution process and wanted it handled
through internal judication," said Gary
Russell, Chief of Public Safety.
He also stated that Public Safety
members worked closely with the woman,
Housing, and the campus grievance officer
in collecting preliminary information.
"Statements were taken from both
the victim and the person she identified as
the suspect," he said.
According to Jeannie Chandler,
Director of Housing, campus policy is to
carry out a "careful and thorough
investigation." Chandler added that by
reporting a rape to the school the victim
still retains the choice of whether they will
go through the court system.
"We can still do an internal
investigation that might result III

A paradigm shift 'in the gar~ge
world is about to occur here at Evergreen.
The recycling project plans to implement
a new collection system for paper this
quarter. It will recruit more participation
by changing the perCeptions of what and
how much garbage goes into the waste
basket. The current system, collects paper
in a variety of desk side paper boxes,
cans, or whatever. Those individuals who
use the container are responsible for
emptying the contents in a convenient
collection container located near by,usually
on their floor. The garbage can, which
nobody even notices, is automatically

Students forlll sustainability coalition
by Aaron Best
The Evergreen Sustainability
Coalition. a brand new student group on
campus, is working to make The
Evergreen State College a pioneer
sustainable community.
Their first efforts will focus on
auditing the current environmental -and
community impact of the college. Areas
such as food procurement, waste
production. energy use and efficiency,
transportation. grounds maintenance, and
financial investments will be studied,
By auditing these areas, the group
hopes to discover Evergreen's good and
bad policies and practices. Group members
will then publicize their fmdings and begin
the long process of changing current
behavior.
"We realize we're in it for the long
haul," said Bryan Baker, a member of the
group, "Change will take time, but the
college must practice what it teaches in its
environmental and social programs,"
The group has already met with
Evergreen President Jane Jervis and Vice
President Les Purce. Vice President Purce
agreed to be the group's advisor last
December,
"Both President Jervis and Vice
President Purce have been very interested
in the changes our group would like to
make. We're hoping their support
continues," said Seth Frankel, group
member.
Another major group task is

The new system will issue blue desk'
side recycling containers to every desk on
campus. No longer will we have the
hodgepodge of "make do" containers. But,
now here is the interesting part, in addition
to the blue collection containers for paper,
the recycling project will also issue
everyone a new itty-bitty garbage can for
non-recyclable items. 1.5 gallons of
garbage per desk. And you and your desk
will be responsible for dumping the
garbage into a conveniently located bin on
your floor or office.
So, instead of everyone having a
plastic lined garbage container at their
desk, there will be one container per office
for garbage. And each desk will have a
full sized recycling container that will be
maintain by the custodial staff. The focus
of your waste stream has
switched I!
Not only that, the project has several
other benefits. Currently, TESC pays
$63.60 per ton to bury it's garbage, next
year we will pay $73.60 per ton. At 600 to
800 tons per year, it is easy to understand
how much it costs. The point is, that the
more people participate in the recycling
system, the less garbage we have to pay to
have someone bury it It could also save
us a heck of alot of plastic bags. Did you
ever notice, that all the garbage cans on
campus are lined with plastic bags. About
$4000 per year is spent on garbage can
liners.
Look for the new desk side
containers coming your way soon. And
help us make recycling a way of life on
TESC campus.

Dodd's execution not a state-sponsored s1.licide
by Dante Salvatierra
,..
I am writing this fIfteen hours before
Westley Allan Dodd is to be executed in
Walla Walla, Washington. For one last
time I.shall try to explain my disgust for
the death penalty in a space small enough
to satisfy the editors and polite enough so
I won't offend the more sensitive.
Firstly;· Westley Allan Dodd's
execution is not a state sponsored suicide.
Dodd is a morbid freak looking for every
chance to manipUlate the media and public
for his pleasure. This isn't a suicide
auempt but a craftily organized game and
sadly, we are playing by his rules. If Dodd
wanted to kill himself he should quietly do
so with his own hands. Ironically if he did
try to off himself in his cell the first
-=Itt;;;o

~....,..
people to try to save him would be the
prison and the State so he could be
properly exterminated later on. This
execution is not a state sponsored suicide
it is a glorified prisoner assisted homicide.
It seems logical to most people to
figure that executing prisoners would be
cheaper than keeping them in prison for
life. But if you add court costs and legal
fees (which are always skewed towards
the prosecution) in a typical appeals
process the bill can run into the millions.
Keeping someone in prison for forty years
averages around a few hundred thousand
dollars.
Killing people like Dodd will not
make the streets safer. Frankly, you'd have
to kill a hell of a lot of folks to make the
streets safer. Executions are not a deterrent
to crime, even people in favor of the death
penalty acknowledge this. They don't even
try to use it ._
as ~im argument anymore.
Violence anywhere, on the streets, in a
prison, or O!! television only breeds more
violence.
. Most likely this article will be read
after Dodd's execution. Now that our state
has joined the 20 other states that have
resumed executions after 1976, do we
honestly feel better now that we had to
resort to such behavior? Is our greed for
revenge and "justice" satiated? Are we
happier now that we've taken a life in the
place of Ihree others? Shou)dn't we "
celebrate since it solution · to crime has
been found? Isn't that a parade I see? I
think there's a death penalty keg party in
the Mods tonight? Morbid aren't I? Why
not since we've all been forced to resort to
morbid means to "solve" a morbid
problem.

around.
SubUrbia is a strange thing boys and
girls. Yessiree, assimilation is the name of
that game - and I managed to play it well.
Within two hours after I got home, an old
high school buddy called and offered me
a job in retail (really, no need to mention
what store) and, after reflecting on my
financial sit, I accepted.
So by the next day I was decked out
and ready to be assimilated. I had a new
tie, new clothes, good attirude, and was
ready to SELL! SELL! SELL! I went to a
four hour training session and was good to
go.
For the next three weeks I worked
full-time and sold an average of $2000
worth of cameras, Nintendos, SEGAs and
cheesy keyboards every day. Sales were

28 August 1963
"We are simply seeking to bring into full
realization the American dream - a dream yet
unfulfilled. A drema of opportunity, of privilege
and property widely distributed; a dream of land
where men no longer argue that the color of a

Executions & ethics
by Greg Smith
The conversation surrounding
Dodd's execution at times seemed as
perverted as Dodd himself. Some radio
talk shows I listened to implied that the
means of Dodd's punishment should be
dictated by economics. The cost of the
'appeals was so great that nOl only Dodd,
but no one should be executed because of
the expense to appeal exeCutions is greater
than life long imprisonmenL
This conversation almost motivated
me to get a cellular phone so I could call
and give them a piece of my mind. But
I'll share it here instead.
I see the logical processes that were
working on the radio talk show as a
dangerous trend. To determine a
murderer's form of punishment by the cost
is Lo miss the major ingredient.
For example, if the market continues
La glut with lawyers, the cost of appeals
might decline and then executions would
be cost effective. If waterfront island
property values sink, we could put "lifers"
on Alcatraz again. If rope manufacturer's
could help sponsor hangings to show the
reliability of their product, hanging could
then become profitable. If euthanasia
became legal, pharmaceutical companies
might want to advertise the painless death
of criminals as a promotion of their
product. If higher profits could be
generated from prison industries, then we
might want to lengthen sentences on
everyone, execute only the lazy, and make
it big on the slave labor business.
The ingredient that is missing in the
dialogue and in my hypotheticals .is
justice. What is the just and right thing to
do? The concept of justice requires a
foundation deeper than the iminediate
opinion of society or the individual. At
this time, our ethics do not go too much
deeper than the television poll where you
call one number for a "yes" and another
for a "no."
A meaningful foundation for justice
provides universality (ethics are deeper
rooted and broader b~ than personal or
social opinion) and aUthority (God judges
evil or bad karma will catch up with the
evildoer). Once upon a time, a culturally
distorted version of Judea-Christian beliefs

TESC faculty gets a "D"
by Herb Legg
I rate The Evergreen State College
faculty a "D" on citizenship. To be a
citizen in the classic Greek sense, one
must iake some part in civic matters; be
involved in one's own milieu. Teaching by
itself, no matter how well done, is not
citizenship in my book.
Fourteen years ago I returned to
Olympia after a ten y~ absence . .! looked
forward to sharing ideas and civic work
with a great many TESC faculty. This had
been my experience on several other
campuses. Instead, in these past fourteen
years I have met less than a dozen faculty
engaged in various local civic concerns.
Those I have met this way I have
appreciated. but a handful is not enough.
.
(Incidentally, I do not regard walking on
legislators' desks as a worthwhile exercise
in citizenship.)
I suggest Evergreen faculty quit
freeloading. They need to get with it on
local civic programs of their choice as
most of the rest of us do.
Oh, yes, I rate other Washingtonstate tax-supported college faculties as
follows on civic participation: Central
Washington University: C-minus; Eastern
Washington University: C; Western
Washington University: B; Washington
State University: B; University of
Washington: D. '

To the interested:
(the four who responded to my
response of a few weeks ago) An
epistolary medium isn't suitable for this
debate, but we haven't much choice.
Intolerance - hate - should be cultivated.
It should be controlled and directed at
appropriate targets: greed, waste, genocide,
sloppy/mindless intolerance, self-righteous
snobs like myself, etc. WithOlJt our
carefully trained critical mind making
judgements on both outside and subjective
stimuli, we might as well be watching
"Bowling for Dollars" eternally.
Other points: Laissez-faire doesn't
work. Strata of power develop in a tolerant
environment, and the vicious inevitably
occupy the top stratum. Also keep in mind
that some people aren't willing to wait for
therapy before they try to shoot you.
Nonviolent resistance' has its greatest
rewards only when you have the media's
atte.ntion. If no one's looking, use a bomb.
Happy New Year.
Karl Steel
Judge film on
its own merits
I had to write to respond to Leilani
Johnson's article on Bram Stoker's
Dracula. I have been an incredible film
buff for as long as I can remember and
have been studying ftlm and ftlm theory
going on my third year at Evergreen.
While I did not necessarily disagree
with Ms. Johnson (while my reverence and
adoration of Mr. Coppola remain
unwaived I found Dracula beautiful but
empty, it lacked the climax it spent two
hours building to) what struck me was the
tone of the article.
In theory and in practice the ftlm
community frowns strongly upon
comparing one fdm to another. In the
December 1992 issue of Sight and'Sound
magazine (not very mainstream, hardcore
film buffs only) Philip Strick discusses the
newly-edited version of Ridley Scott's
Blade Runner. He notes the "obvious
dilemma" of how one movie compares to
the other, but dismisses it becauSe, "In
practice, it · seems sensible to judge each
version of a work in isolation disregarding
what it was 'supposed' to be: the only
useful criterion is whether it functions
efficiently in its existing form." Mind you,
this man is discussing two differently
edited versions of the same movie.
Ms. Johnson evaluates the ftlm as a
"nice try." From this we can conclude that
she assumes Coppola's attempt was to
measure up to Nos/eralu. All films are
epics unto themselves and should be
treated as such. Hold Glengarry Glen Ross
up to Terms of Endearment and ' it seems
acrid, hold Terms of Endearment up to
Notorious it seems sappy, hold Notorious
up to Citizen Kane it. seems shallow.
, The question Ms. Johnson should
have asked herself when leaving the
theater should have been "Did I enjoy the
movie?" not "Did I enjoy the movie more
or le$S than NosJeratu?"
Cameron Rose
Editor's note: The headline "nice try" was
written by the A&E editor, not Johnson.
Give a hootDon't breed
The recent corporate media envirohype makes me ill! I am somewhat
surprised to find the CPJ proselytizing this
false bill of goods. Recycling will nOl save
the planet! In fact, recycling by itself is a
negative force allowing people to delude
themselves into believing that they are
taking positive environmental steps.
Meanwhile they continue to copulate and
breed, hastening the destruction. The CPJ
should not be party to this mass denial.
"Liberal feel good response"
More people more garbage
"That's O.K., we'll recycle"
More people more cars
"Pollution controls, mass transit"
More people
more campers, hikers,
fishermen
"we'll restrict access"
More people = more homes, fewer trees
"But we have land use planning"
It should be obvious to anyone who
cares to open their eyes and look that
more people equals a degradation of all
resources and our quality of life.
I tire of the discrimination which is
imposed on me daily by breeders who
wish that I would burn less gasoline, not
heat with wood, use less water and recycle
my garbage to help make the world a
better place for their offspring. None of
these are necessarily bad things except
under the current propaganda blanket
which seeks to keep the truth in denial.
So I say to Greg Wright, "When you
are done lifting your bags from the
bottom, throw them in the street! Maybe
some day, somebody will figure out what
the problem is."
I say to the CPJ, "It's beneath you
to participate in this media supported
denial."
I say to those who might rea<,l this:
GIVE A HOOT - DON'T BREED!
Perhaps it is already too late, but we
are certainly hurtling towards a "Soylent
Green" future. As long as this state of
denial continues our future destruction
becomes more assured. I urge the CPJ to
separate itself from enviro-drivel and
speak the truth.

Fumes indicate
campus problem
On Dec. 16 I was working in the
computer center when a noxious odor
permeated the room. I looked to see who
had left their liquid paper open, but there
didn't seem to be anything around that
would cause the smell, so I went back to
work. Hours later, we were informed that
the computer center would be closed
because of fumes in the ventilation system.
Today is Jan. 7, and, still, anyone
. who ventures into the Library Building
will be troubled with respiratory problems,
dizziness, and headaches - all symptoms
that their systems are being poisoned by
the solvents that have soaked into the
walls and floors of the student advising
center.
, Although I realize that "accidents
can happen," it is no accident that the
I,.ibt:arY Building was opened f<x' the start
of classes in spite of lingering toxic fumes.
It is time that students faculty and staff
demand that class meeting places be
reassigned, regardless of whether the
college administration decides to re-open
the building. As I overheard otie custodian
remark, "we aren't paid enough to di& on
the job."
This is also a good time for
members of the Evergreen Community to
wake up to the fact that Evergreen is not
the model of environnientally responsible
attitudes that some people profess it to be.
Many - things, from this .most recent
incident to the diesel oil spill last spring to
the throwaway coffee cups and utensils
used by the food service, to lights left on
in unoccupied classrooms to showers in
the gym that blast you with gallons of hot
water, indicate that we could do better.
Perhaps the problem is that most people
on campus falsely assume that Evergreen
is such a progressive place that
environmelltally sound decisions are
automatically being made by members of
the community.
Annie Hankins
Don't cry
wolf for fun
Some short time ago a student of
Evergreen was assaulted on campus by
some non-students. Some individuals took
it upon themselves to become outraged at
seemingly unresponsive people in a time
of crisis and to chastise us all for being
apathetic in time of need.
Before and after this event I have
noticed some things which could lead up
to just this very type of problem. I have
heard sounds and cries made on campus
which might be construed as calls for help.
Numerous times I have seen individuals
screaming on campus at night. Now, if I
hadn't seen these individuals screaming
then perhaps I should have assumed that
someone was in need and I should have
responded. Xf that is the case, then why
didn't a good number of people run to the
aid of these supposed victims of some
heinous crimes? After these persons
Lap Swim
screamed I heard other screams which I
assumed to be replies to the fust screams.
Now, was I being apathetic and
unresponsive to this second set of screams
when, since I had not witnessed them and
I did not know for certain that they were
not true emergencies, I should have been
alerted to potential danger? Should
everybody possible respond to all potential
trouble situations?
I believe that this is the truth behind
one of the stories I was told when I was
younger: The Boy Who Cried Wolf. People
have been--desensitized to the sounds of
those in need by persons using those
sOUnds in the wrong way. Just last week
as I was reading in my room in D-donn I
heard some loud noises in the stairway
and I heard the words "call security." I
weht~out there only to find out that it was
a group of people "having fun" and calling
a false alann.
Perhaps if enough people responded
every time to what could be interpreted as
an alarm, then the false ones might
diminish and no-one would go without aid.
And perhaps nOL One of my points is that
people do not always realize the full
weight of their actions (such as the
recreational screamers). My other point is
that I believe that the anger of the people
in the previous case, while being justified,
was misdirected at individuals, when we
are all just products of our atmosphere and
socialization.

TESC history
by Cindy Franklin
Recently, a number of students,
staff, and faculty have come forth to
express interest in researching and/or
writing parts of the history of one of the
most successful alternative colleges in the
world. Our new president has made a
commitment to support such an effort.
The archival history advisory group
is currently gathering ideas for projects
and in the near future will be asking for
the help of interested parties. Some
possible activities will include helping to
restore video tapes, researching various
lOpics, interviewing people who have been
involved with Evergreen over the years,
writing parts of the college's history,
assessing and gathering archival materials
. from different areas on campus, and
, photographing members of our
community.
If you are interested in getting
involved in any way, please sign up on the
door of the Archives, on the second floor
of the library. This is a rather quick and
rewarding way to learn about Evergreen.
Any contribution is significant, and will be
appreciated.

The boat program teaches many
skills that students in traditional colleges
don't have the opportunity to gain. This
and other programs at Evergreen strive to
show students new perspectives and allow
them to feel a great deal of confidence. I
have been studying the college for ·over a
year now and am amazed by the roots and
intricate relationships I have found here. I
have also discovered that students, for the
most part, don't realize the significance of
their place here and don't know how to
move within Evergreen ' s system to their
best advantage. I am writing articles about
this school hoping to help break this
destructive pattern. In future articles I will
tell you some of the both glorious and
gory details of Evergreen's past.
