Nalini Nadkarni set to give lecture as part of "Piece ofMind n series
Dr. Nalini Nadkarni, internationally hailed
sc ientist and Evergreen faculty member, is the
guest speaker at the Olympia Timberland
Library's "P iece of my Mind" se ries on
Wednesday, October 18 at noon. The event is
free and open to the public.
Nadkarni has pioneered the study of the
mysterious and diverse world of the forest
canopy. Sometimes called "the earth's eight
continent," the rain forest is one of the last
biological frontiers on the planet. Scientists
know even less about it than they do the ocean
floor. Nadkarni estimates she has spent 5,000
hours in the canopy, examining trees, collecting
specimens, recording observations and training
students in this field of inquiry.
In her lecture, Nadkarni will describe the
fascinating plants and animals that dwell in the
canopy of tropical and temperate rain forests.
She has studied these organisms and th e ir
interactions during her two decades of treetop
research.
Nadkarni will explain, too, some of the Good Morning America, NBC Dateline, the
discoveries and challenges facing the growing National Geographic special Heroes of the

To the Editor,
Cigarette smoking is not a sustainable
activity.
Why do so many people at
Evergreen smoke cigarettes?
Why do these cigarette smokers insist
on smoking their cigarettes near the
entrances to doors, like the library
building? There is a nearby corridor
where the smokers could smoke. Why
don't they smoke there instead of at the
entrance to the library? At least then the
non-sustainable activity of cigarette
smoking would not effect the
sustainability of other users of the
library and other campus buildings.

EDITOR'S RESPONSE
Joe Crescente: the Czech Correspondent
By Jut: Cresce nt "
Hello. My name is Joe Crescente. I am from
Olympia, Washington. I am here in Prague as a
concerned citizen to protest the meetings of the
International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
And while I used to harbor thi s fantasy that the
Czech Republ ic was a liberal co untry run by a
benign playwrite, in th e short period of time that
I have been here, I have been s hown otherwise.
The global econo mi c elite have congregated on
Prague and are showing th e ir true face in all of
i Is venemous, ugl y g lory.
Not only are the a uthorities making it extremely
difficult to be an activist here, but they are making
it difficult to be an ordinary c itizen as well. They
have bombasted th e public with a propoganda
campaign unrivaled in a modern democracy.
They have also advised ci tizens to leave the ci ty,
and foreigners not to come at all. The authorities
do not want normal people to see what a neototalitarian show of force could look like.
There are problems at all borders. Schools hav e
been shut down. Hospital service will be
ex tre mely limited , unless you are a delegate, in
which case there are luxurious hospital suites
awaiting your possible arrival. Perhaps the most
upsetting thing is that public thea ters will also
be closed, an old co mmunist tactic, to ensure that
public idea sharing spaces arc limited. It seems
lik e everything that Vaclav Hav el had been
fig htin g his entire life for ha s been conven ientl y
forgotten.
The pol ice presence is eve n larger than that in
Mexico City in the waning yea rs of the PRI's
regime. C itizen s and travellers a like are
co nsta ntl y being harassed by these unsympathetic
figures in dark blue . Marching on the 26th , the
largest day of th e d emo nstration s has been
o utright banned, because of a potential traffic
problem. Basically the police force which is being
instructed by city officials who are be in g advised
by state officials are being pressured by the
leade rs of the world, political and economic, to
ens ure that these d emonstrations don't happen
at all, and that the new world order can bust all
resis tance and go ahead and lay down their
dogmatic plan for world dominance .
Perhaps most distressing for me, a citizen of the
world, is that there is no opportunity for the
citizens of the world's voices to be heard. The
global financial institutions' power frightens me,
and makes me distrust and hate them even more
than ever, but it inspires me to fight and resist
that much more.

The college's smoking· policy,
approved in 1989, says: "Areas for
smoking will be established and
maintained in exterior covered. areas of
the college. These areas will be
equipped with benches, waste baskets,
and smoking receptacles. These areas
will be located away from traffic
patterns and away from building
entrances so that they do not create
congestion or allow smoke to enter the
buildings."
But the policy fails to define
"away," and no one is designated to
monitor or enforce the policy. Instead
"every member of of the Evergreen
community is expected to be sensitive
to this policy and abide by it."
The situation is only bound to
worsen. Sixty-three percent of
Evergreen students are between the
ages of 18 and 24, and the Journal of the
American Medical Association has
identified this as the only age group in
which smoking is on the rise.

Do you think you are earning a

After all, the world's problems are not
your fault? The destruction of the

right?

the society that they have helped to

Whats Up with all the buckin' changes around this buckin'place anyway?
Last issue of the CPJ there was an
article about changing the name of
Seminar II building once it's built. I
thinkthiswouldbeamistake. Keeping
the name "Seminar II" is much more
interesting since it's tied into the history
of the college. For example, I remember
wondering why SeminarI needed the
"one" if there wasn't a "two," and I also
wondered why the building seemed to
face out into that field by the
Longhouse. Well, without going into
details, there was s uppose to be a
Seminar II builtin that field, I think back
in 1975. This is interesting, and the story
why it wasn't built is interesting too
(though I won't go into it).
Ever wonder why the Library
Building is called the "Library
Building," even though the Jibrary onJy
takes up a small part of it? Well the
whole thing was supposed to be the
library when enrollment was projected
to be higher. There was also supposed
to be a small cafeteria/cafe on the 4th
floor, where there's s till kitchen
facilities, to encourage students to use
the library more often and to think of
the library as the heart of the college.

Fundamental in s ustaining life,

In the light of these issues, there
has been a movement for the past three
years at Evergreen to reform the
college's "waste management"
practices. Al though Evergreen does a
solid job recovering commonly recycled
materials such as cans and paper, too
many organic materials .have been
needlessly wasted. The Evergreen
Compost Project has bee n working
towards enabling Evergreen to establish
and maintain a zero-loss of organic
materials policy. For the past two and a
half academic years students have
successfully diverted large portions of
the food scraps generated on campus
away from the landfill, composted them
and returned them to land used for
cultivating food . This has been and
remains the primary intention of the
Compost
Project .

composting techniques and serve as a
model for institutions and communities
interested in closing thei r loops of
consumption. It will also be a
springboard for the education of those
who belong to and interact with the
Evergreen community.
The project needs to acquire 3/4 of
the necessary funds for the costs of
construction (the other 1/4 has already
been raised). The operational costs
required for the facility and the salaries
of the two student operators have
already been secured.
Between now and the construction
of the facility two primary objectives
need to be met. The participation of
campus Housing residents needs to
increase and improve and the funds
must be acquired for the actual
construction by the beginning of Spring
2001.
Compost Means Change
The compost project provides a
meaningful and positive outlet for us to
begin to address these issues of
ecological and social justice and set a
different tone in the way we consider
the byproducts of our food system.
rndividua ls can become involved
with the compost project by
participa ting on many levels. Dona tions
of time or money are encouraged and
greatl y appreciated. Vol un teers
donating time or labor often he lp collect
and transport food scraps from Housing
or ass ist in our campus outreach and
education programs. The most basic but
fu n damental ly va l uab le way to
participa te is to utilize the oppor tunity
to recycle yet another portion of our
"waste" stream and do so with respect
to those providing the service of labor
to the effort (i.e. don't try to compost
plastic bags with compost in 'em - other
fo lks have to pick through it to retrieve
what you leave).
This is a community effort to take
responsibility for ourselves one apple
core at a time. If you are interested in
getting involved further or have
questions about the Compost Project
please contact Tom Gilbert at 866-6000
ext. 6145.
Primary Treatment
Will take place in-vessel using controlled aeration, containment and
emmisions treatment to prevent odors and optimize the compost
process. Each in-vessel cell has an aerated floor, leachate' collection
system and exhaust fan. By controlling the amount of for ced air, the
feedstock will be maintained for three days at 145°F to des troy potenti ill
pathogens. Leachate will be collected for later application. The
exhausted air will be treated by a series of biofilters to eliminate any
potential odors. The cells can handle three cubic yards, which translates
to about one and a half cubic yards of food residuals every seven to ten
days. Upon completion, the feedstock will be transferred by front end
loader from the cell to secondary treatment.
Secondary Treatment
Will take place in a continous flow vermicomposting bin. This system
ut ili zes au toma ted harvesting techno logies as we ll as providing the
idea l environment for worms to process organ ic matter. The feedstock
transferred from primary treatmen t is loaded in to the bin by front end
loader and spread 1-2 inches thick along the surface of the reactor with
a rake every two days. For harvesting, a breaker bar is pul led along the
bottom which is elevated two feet from the ground, p ushing the fin ished
castings into trays below for collection. The system designed is capable
of handling up to 23 cubic feet of feedstock from primary treatment
every two days.
Storage
Finished product and bulk ing agents, straw and leaves, will be stored
on a covered cement pad in the Mixing Shed. The Mixing Shed is
divided into three bays, each contained by three foot tall cemen t stem

them; be it time to le t go, fond

admirers are anticipating a
healthy dose of your good will, so
fire up your happy self and leave
your doubts at home. Activate a
cycle of connection.
Avoid
isolation for long periods of time.
Get out there and dance. Live it
up long enough to feel exhausted,
