Comforting Me
You carne to me last night
in a blaze of comforting warmth,
your voice welcome in my ears.
1 tried to tell you all 1 needed to
You couldn't stay to listen
"I just carne to comfort you"
1 heard you whisper,
the guilt inside your voice
drawing tears to my eyes
1 want to hold you
tell you 1 understand you had to go
1 want to be in your soothing arms,
rocked like your baby again.
Sing to me,
tell me stories and your dreams.
"we don't have long"
The tears pouring down my face,
I felt your hand
making
those circles on my back
(like you used to when
1 was a little girl
and you were alive.

Plans for a treetop walkway
by Tyler Eawn
Have you ever climbed a tree? I have many
times, and I remember the thrill of being high
above the grou nd. Just two weeks ago I climbed
100 feet up to the top of a Douglas Fir in the
southern part of Capital Forest and watched the
sun set. Climbing to the top was relatively easy;
however, getting into the tree was not so easy.
The tree's branches did not start until about 25
or 30 feet up the trunk, so to get into the tree, I
had to use rock climbing equipment proVided
mostly by my buddy Dave. He bought a cheap
fishing pole and brought a slingshot with which
he launched the weighted fishing line over a low
branch. We made several to reach higher
branches, but they were unsuccessful, as the rock
weight at the end of the line was getting tangled
on the branches of neighboring trees. When we
finally succeeded, I removed the rock and
attached a more stuidy line of string. We then
reeled the fishing line in over the branch, thereby
bringing the string with it. When the line was all
reeled in, and the string was down toground level
on both sides of the branch, the process was
repeated in reverse so we could wind the string
back up to hoist the climbing rope over the
branch. At last we-Dave, his housemate and
his housemate's girlfriend, a nd me-all had our
harnesses on , and the rope was secured. We
started climbing up one at a time.
I was the last one up into the tree, and
though my companions all seemed content with
the initial effort ofgetting to the lowest boughs. I
wanted to get to the very top. So, with a bit of
difficulty, I climbed around them and made my
way to the top just in time to watch the sun sink
below the nea rby hills. It was a remarkable
'\
experience to cling to the slender branches at the
top of a tall tree and sway in the breeze. The
feeling of awe I felt during that contemplative
time, when I was in the Douglas Fir. is probably
the same feeling which inspiredNa lini Nadkarni,
Evergreen Faculty Member and President of the
International Canopy Network. to begin her
career as a forest canopy researcher. Nalini has
championed many scielltific and environmen tal
causes and is very active in the forest eco logy
community. Since 1996. though. her pet project
has been the construction of th e Evergreen
Canopy Walkway-originally dllbb ed
Forest Access Facility.
There are two main parb to th e proposal.
One is to build an elevated walkway. consisting
of several connected cable stay bridges linked
together, to form a loop about 1000 feet around
in the forest directly to the northwest of the
library building. The seco nd is to build a
suspension bridge approximately 300 feet long
spanning the ravine near the junction of
Geod uck Lane and Driftwood Road in the
Campus Reserve (near the beach, for those ofyou
who don't get out much). The main ca mpus
walkway would be suspended about 40 to 50
above the forest floor and would be connected
to the library building. In addition, an elevated
seminar pod would be attached to the loop. This
would provide a welcome center, a classroolll ,
;lIld possibly a lab for canopy studies, alllong
other things.
While walking the core wa lkway loop
behind the library bUilding would provide one
with various perspectives on the forest fi·om a
constant height, crossing the suspension bridge
would allow for transition in perspective from
the trunks of trees growing on the sides of the
ravine to the crowns of the trees growing upfrom
the bottom the ravine. In the original proposal,

ext raord inary or special h appe ned :
life went on, teachers taught, and
hopefully students learned. But by
the following Monday, the vagi n;) in
the Librar y Lobby had be e n
removed.
The very next day, a giant,
green, and very erec t penis was
installed in the same co rn e r in which
the vagina had ~een hung . it was
later discovered that th e removal of
the vagina pos ter and the installation
of th e peniS were t wo totally
se parate even ts perpetrated by tw o
entirely diffe rent people. However,
since thi s information wasn't wellknown until seve ral days late r, many
p eople made the logical co n c uls ion
that the two eve nts were rela ted a nd
saw the removal of th e vagina poster
'as a malicious crime ,
In a re talitory strike, the penis
was re mov ed from the Library
Lobby and return ed the next day;
repainted in a somw h a t fieshtone,
given a smiling face and the phrase
"Omnia Extares." Now, I know o f
perhaps only three or fo ur people on
this campus who hav e n ' t considered
th e phallic nature of Evergreen's
be love d mas co t, so it see m s o nl y
appropriate that an offending penis
be reconstituted as a geoduck.
Obviously, all of this back a nd
forth sparked the interest of a
number of other students on ca mpus
concerned
with
what
was
happ en in g, Enter Joanna Hurlbut,
one of the coordina tors of th e
Wom e n 's Resource Center, who after
converSing with)ust in Rodda, one of
th e creators of the green penis,
decid ed to crea te a forum to discuss
al l of the rece nt eve n ts and to
hopefully clear up some of the
co nfusion and anger that had
resulted,
The forum was faci Ii ta ted by
February 15,2000 • 5· Cooper Point Journal
Simona Sharoni, a
faculty m embe r with a
g rea t deal of experience
as
a
moderator /
fac ilitator and despite
being held a t noon on a
Friday, the forum had
abou t 60-75 a ttend e nt s.
The first objective for th e
gro up was ~ tr y to
es tablis h a rea li st ic
tim e lin e of events and
who, if anyone, would
claim responSibility for
di fferen t actio ns.
After a half-hour or
so a m uch clea re r picture
emerged of wha t had
transpired over the past
few weeks. (See info box
o n le ft of this article.) As
men tion ed before , it
almost immediately
became cleM that Rodda,
who installed the g iant
penis, had nothing to do
with the tearing down of
the vagina poster.
This, h owever, does
not mean thilt anyone

the tw o event s were

their
anger

SAVE OUR TREES!
Throughout my four years of
undergraduate education at Evergreen, I've
witnessed some erroneous sit uations
involving this campus, and I am beginning
to believe that the s ustainable forestry
movement in full swing at this point is going
to take the cake. Congratulations!
Last week as I
through the CAB
building and saw the outreach table for the
sustainable forestry program, I couldn't resist
the temptation to engage in some
conversation on the issue. What I witnessed
was somewhat horrifying. Two of the folks
at the table were quite friendly and
responsible. Others, however, were
approaching people with surveys in hand
and telling blasphemous lies. Among them
were, "U we don't log, the state is going to
build a stadiwn of some sort," and, "We are
not going to do anything that even resembles
a clear cut," or, "Most people we have talked
to have been supportive," and the list
continues. It was DlSfURBING. The rest of
this article is devoted to debunking these lies.
! will start by saying that part of their
plan for logging Evergreen consists of an area
that is over an acre, and will have 7ayo of the
trees removed. THIS IS A CLEARCUT
EVEN
BY
FOREST
SERVICE
MANAGEMENT GUTDEUNES.
The following breakdown may seem
excessively long and inappropriate for a
response to a single letter printed in the
CPJ,but the reality of this issue is that these
views are the same ones being expressed by
the "out reach" committee that has been
setting up in the CAB building and getting
surveys filled out. So read on and keep these
points in mind the nex t time yo u are
questioned on the issue.
In response to th e rece nt a rticles
concerning sustainable forestry featured in
theCPJ, ] would like to share soll1ec ritiques
and express some differing view points on
the subject.
In the second paragraph of the article,
it is stated lhat"With the ever-growing global
population, the demand for wood products
wi ll be increasing exponentially, and the
pressure on our remaining old growth
forests ... will continue to escalate." TI1is
assLUnption, while it certainly supports the
perspective of the article, is devoid of rational
eco nomic theory. According to ba sic
economic principles, as the supply of a good
decreases, the price will increase accordingly,
and competing goods will enter the market
eventu all y "out-competing" the original
product. 1his assumption, by ignoring the
reality, is congruous with the statement that
with a growing population, we must drill
more oil in order to support the needs of
those people-a philosophy that our newly
elected and , as yo u know, incred ibly
conservative president staunchly supports.
The answer is market substitutions'
Secondly, the third paragraph sta tes
that the Northwest Forest Plan is a local
example of a policy that balances species
protection with timber harvest. If this is truly
an example of good stewardship in the
opinion of the sustainable forestry class, then
all of my worst fears about this campus
project are true. The forest plan you refer to
has failed miserably at protecting the species
that it was originally clrafted to conserve, not
to mention the species lhat are not addressed
under this plan (Red-tree voles or VallX's
swifts, for example). TIle Forest Service in
Washington State and Oregon have been
sued so many times since 1994 for not
completing the surveys required under the
plan that the timber sale program has been
essentially shut down over the past two
years. (See survey and management
Enviromenta l Impact Statement.)
Meanwhile, recent analysis completed by a
non-profit group, TIle Gifford-Pinchot Task
Force, has shown that with ro
anal sis,

only 30% of the habitat, when actually
checked out, could be detennined suitable
for spotted owl habitat.
Third, it seems that the article
attempted to draw connections between the
Federal Northwest Forest Plan and an
example of a small time forester in British
Columbia. The forest plan only covers region
6 (Washington, Oregon and California), and
was crafted for public land management
only, not private. 1his point directly relates
to yom statement concerning om remaining
5% of old growth that lies entirely on public
lands, not private land . Because of the
difference in management directives from
public, private lands in this region for the
most part have been so mistreated that there
is no remaining old growth. These lands are
now dominated with monotypical stands of
Douglas Fir that afford little understory
habitat for old growth or multi-age standdependant species.
While this may not seem pertinent to
the purpose of the article, I would
recommend researching such issues and
presenting the facts in a clearer manner if
the goal is truly to "gain the support of yom
neighbors." Furthennore, it seems to me that
if you need to resea rch the effects that
rcmoving 70% of the trees from an area have
on that ecosystem, then go on over to any
ind ustri.Li forest land and take a gander.
The article goes on to state that if om
campus is 'not used for "ed uca ti ona l
purposes," it could eventually become a
"construction site for state buildings," and
further, that this "would be a shame" given
Evergreen's "emphasis on nature." Now, I've
been called in the past for using an excess of
environmental rhetoric in my attempts to
sway the views people have on public lands
issues, but this goes beyond even my besl
work. True, this land is owned by the state
and could be used for construction, but how
does this support the thesis that we need to
selectively log our campus? Could we not
just as easily di rec t our resea rch at
monitoring forest re-growth and natural
development of old growth characteristics 7
After all, is that not what is stated as the
pressing problem in the beginning of the
article? And the emphasis on nature bit is
absol utely absurd. Yes, Eve rg reen has
historically had an emphasis on nature and
biological conservation Gust ask any of the
environmental studies founders), and this
can certainly co ntinue without th e
introduction of logging on the college's land!
] personally am a little confused about how
a n emp hasis on co nser vation and
biodiversity is co nn ected to firing up
chaiJlsaw, in our woods, period.
Once again, these views iU'C not li mited
to this single article but are being used (ilt
least in part) by everyone I've encowltcred

Update:
Anti-Sweatshop
Campaign
by Steve Karmol
In the last couple of weeks, the
Evergreen Students Against Sweatshops
(ESAS) and supporters have been working
to raise consciousness on the issue of
sweatshop purchasing at the TESC campus
bookstore. More and more members of the
campus community have simply been
asking, "Why won 't the administration
respond to the ESAS proposal, an effort to
stop the sale of sweatshop-manufactured
garments in our bookstore?"
In the administration 's formal
response to our proposal, they advocate the
creation of a "bookstore purchasin g
pra ctic es study group." This study group
wo uld be composed of two students , two
faculty members, th e bookstore manage r,
and th e Vice Pres ide nt for Student Affairs.
They wo uld supposedly resea rch whet her
leav in g th e Fair Lab or Association (F LA)
and joining th e Worker Rights Consortium
( WRC) i ~ th e best way to make sure TESC
apparel is not manufactured in swea tshops.
Th e adm ini st ra ti on 's major criti cis m of
ESAS' proposa l is th at our reco mmend atio n
to do j ust th at did not represent campu s
opinion. Essenti ally, they say, our outreach
wo rk was inadeq uat e beca use it d id not
in form enough of th e ca mpu s comm unity.
And th ey propose to solve thi s shortcoming
by crea ting a ti ny research enclave beyo nd

As we repo rte d in o ur Fe br ua ry 1

Robyn , who told me that she has requested
the form ation of a Disappearing Task Force
o n th e subj ect of smoking on campus,
Cooper Point Journal • 10· February 15, 200 1
beca use she ge ts comp la ints all th e tim e
ab out th e smokers who stand in front of
entrance s and share fh eir smoke with the
non-smok ers. I discu sse d th e id ea that
prospective students visiting Evergreen are
forced to walk the gauntlet into the library
and the CAB, and how that does n't jibe well
with Evergreen's reputation for being
concerned with environment and all. That
mu st turn off som e of these prospective
students and could be a dl>ciding factor in
th e ir choosin g an oth e r school. Rob yn
thought that it would not be enough to move
the ashtrays from in front of the library and
the CAB because the smokers would
co ntinu e to smoke there anyway, and th ey
wo uld use th e gr ound as th eir as ht ray.
Additionally, she said, enforcement would
be a problem. I suggested th e campu s cops
co uld stand at th e entrance and discourage
th e smokers, because, after all, what do th ey
do all day, anyway? She didn't think it would
work. She asked if I wou ld be willing to be
on the Disappearing Task Force on Smoking.
I wa s reluctant, be cau se I don 't want to
beco me part of institutional inertia, but I
sa id if it would help, then o. k. Mor e
importantly, however, Robyn shared with
me th e ro ot of the problem: WAC 296-6 212005 ,
It see ms that in 1986 wh en smoking
inside public buildings was banned, WAC
296-62-12005 was created . It is vague, and
does not specify how far away from a public
building smoking should be .
Being an optimist, I saw that it would
probably be easier to lobby the Washington
legislature to change WAC 296-62-12005
than it would be to move the ashtrays from
in front of the library and the CAB . So I wrote
up a letter requesting that there be a law
prohibiting smoking within 100 feet of a
public building, and I went up to the Capitol
to lobby. I learned that there are 3 smoking
bills already, one of them banning smoking
February 15, 2001
in re staurant s . Unfortunately, th e
Republican s ar e blocking them , so th e
legislature probably won't be voting on
them.
So I have thought up another possible
solution: The student code of conduct. The
student code of conduct, in a broad fashion,
requires students not to infringe upon or
impede the educational experience of other
students. If you are a smoker, are you living
up to the student code of conduct when you
smoke in front of the entrance to a building
on campus? I think not.

A Brief Opinion ·of Time
For the first time in a long time, I've
been thinking about time-where it goes
and how it changes, [ am caught by
thoughts of time and how its meanings
have changed to me. Often, I wonder
what I'm doing with my time here, I
wonder ifthe time I own now is being well
spent, and whether or not my future will
allot me more freedom . My answer is
always no. I will not be free to do what I
wish with my time until I delegate
alternatives and decide how to avoid
wasting my time. Perhaps the time I am
using now will enable a better time in my
future, but that does not assuage
anxiousness, unrest, and my occasional
discontent.
The saving grace is that I'm not
alone in this sentiment. I've talked to so
many people who feel as I do. They feel
that they are stagnant here, that they
can't learn in a "hands-on" manner when
ou r hands fe el so far awa y fro m
everything. It is frustrating to be on this
isolated island, where we are so distanced
from people that are unlike us.
Thankfully, Evergreen provides th e
opportunity to take a year offwithout any
penalty, and this is a luxury of which
many have taken advantage.
I am often frustrated by the amount
of time I spend, and am most likely going
. to continue spending, on school. But
what frustrates me more is that I feel that
college is something that I have to get
over with, that it's not looking any better
for me--unless 1 design a contract that
takes me far away from here for awhile. I
guess when you really think about time,
you realize that a minute can change a
year, and time is really more affected by
you than the sun. When [think of time
that way, I realize that wasting it for the
sake of the possibility of a better future
isn't worth it. How are you going to know
that future when you get to it, and how
are you going to acknowledge happiness
and self-actualization ifyou've spent your
life preparing for it rather than
experiencing it?

posters was very straightforward-they were there to make the
Evergreen community awa~e of an
upcoming performance . When
questioned as to the motivations
behind the penis, Rodda said his
main drive was that he was
"curious" and "wanted to see what ·
would happen."
What happened was the forum
--a good thing, and many hurt
feelings, confusion and anger--bad
things. It unfortunately didn't help
rna tters any tha t Rodda is an
admittedly ill-prepared public
speaker. It actually led to some
confusion instead . Rodda at one
point tried to explain how he had
tried to empathlize with whoever
may have taken down the vagina out
of aversion to an image of female
genitalia.
Perhaps
he
was
subseq uently grilled for further
exp lanation a little too rigorously,
but then aga in perhaps he should
reconsider that empathy. I feel that
no one should try to foster empathy
for som eo ne else's prejud ices.
I think a majority of the people
who attended the forum will agree
that it was a worthwhile discussion
to have . I just don't think a giant
p eniS was th e right way to s tart
dial og ue. It proved to be a devisive
elem en t in the meeting, a n element
which hindered comm unication. At
Sharoni's s ugges tion, the emotional
s tat e of the participants was
recorded on a blackboard . And while
there was no absolute line drawn in
the sa nd, a lm os t a ll positive and
neutral comments came from men,
but th e comments from women were
a lmos t e ntirely negative emotions.
Make Mars vs. Venus jokes if you
must, but there was a pretty obvious
difference of opinion.
However, people can on ly
discuss and d e bate a top ic for a se t
amount of time before the progress
m ad e will come to a halt, and, as 2:00
p.m. rolled aro und th a t Friday, we all
recognized the end of the discussion.
Before we left, the group's emotional
s tate was once again recorded--for
the most part, people felt unease-th e dialogue had been started but
was sti ll unfini shed. A number of
iss u es were posed, but ve ry few
answered. The primary question that
remains unanswered for me is: if an
aversion to the fem ale genitalia can
be understood , why replace the
missing vagina w ith a penis--why is
the one better than th e other?
Wouldn ' t there also be an eq ual
aversion to the male genita lia ?

there was also to be a tunnel sloping up
through the forest floor to compliment
the other proposed structures with a
perspective on the below-ground
environment of our forest. 'The idea,
however, has been put on hold with
regard to the difficulty and cost of
construction.
It is not that it has been forgotten.
The idea of a tunnel is still alive in the
mind of Nalini Nadkarni, other
supporters of the Evergreen Canopy
Walkway, and myself. Perhaps when
the walkway is constructed, the Twmel
and the Banana Slug Zoo and Moss
Farm and Virtual Forest Project, which
have been proposed as possible
adjuncts and enhancements to the
Walkway, will become realized too. The
Evergreen Canopy Walkway would
provide a wonderful tool for
community outreach by bringing locals,
elementary school children from the
region, and prospective students to the
tops of the trees to gain an appreciation
for something they may take for
granted. It would also be a boon to the
scientific and artistic communities here
at Evergreen by providing forest science
students with a venue of research and
by providing artists with a means to
experience the canopy and its unique
flora and fauna. The seminar pod would
be a place to greet visitors, have a class,
or give a lecture amidst the serene
atmosphere of the woods. Lastly, the
Walkway would be a place for
recreation and relaxation for students,
faculty, and those who wish to meditate
or appreciate nature.

OUR FINE HOST
THE INTERVIEWS: OWEN O'KEEFE
by: S has ta S mi,h
am talking with Owen
O'Keefe, a memb e r of Team
Evergreen, the Nationally ranked
ca mpus kung fu team . Owen is a
junior at Evergreen and is next year's
s tudent captai n for the Bak Shaolin
Eagle Claw Kung Fu C lub . Owen
s tudies computer science.
CPj : So Owen, can you tell me how
yo u go t started with kung fu ?
Owen: I was in the weight room, saw
one of the kung fu fliers, and just had
to g ive it a call.
CPJ: Tell m e about the la s t year of
co mpetition you had with Team
Eve rgree n Kung Fu.
Owen: It was pretty inte nse. It was
definitely an ex pe ri e n ce I'd ne ve r
had in my life; it wa s very enriching,
cha lle ngin g, and tes ting .
CPj: How docs it feel to be part of a
teil m 7
intense training, we have a cohesive
team here at Evergreen. There have
been some people from top Division
One hocke y programs that hav e
come and trained with schoo ls of
ours in the past that have stated that
we train harder than they do, and I
believe th a t. It is a cohesive team,
and the friendships and that type of
bond is strong through our lives.
CPj: What d oes kung fu help you
with?
Owen: Besid es the obvious - the
physical cond iti on in g, the mental
clarity, the hand-eye coordination - it
helps focus and discipline all aspec ts
of life. I have spoken to many people
about it , and the tw o hours of
tr a ining we do, where we're very
focused, helps w hen we go to read a
book o r s tudy or d o so me thing in
front of a co mpute r. It's a weso me.
C Pj: How do yo u see kung fu he lping
yo u?
Owen: It 's ilWL'some. Because of the
Owen: There are a numb er of
members who hav e grad u a ted
WO~~EN'S
CREW
Evergreen and o th er univers ities
who are successful in their field
because of the discipline and
foclls it has given them, and right
now while I'm in co ll ege I get
advice from th em. Once I ge t out of
college, I'm sure that it will h elp me
land a job and that sort of thing.
CPj : How do you feel about being
th e s tudent cap tai n who will be
instructing next year?
Owen: It's g reat learning to teach
people. It makes you examine what
it is that you're doing, makes you
break things down analytica ll y and
really think abou tit.
CPJ: What can you say to
continuin g and incoming students
who may want to learn kung fu?
Owen: One of the biggest things
kung fu has done for me is to help
me focus and do better at studies.
It makes you strong and helps you
wi th the will and diSCipline to
ac hi eve yo ur goa ls.

A musician in my hometown once
wrote, "Well it feels like we're living
in a police sta te." Fine Hos t, the
company that runs the Deli and the
Greenery on ca mpus, has begun a
battle against the student body at The
Everg ree n State College Campus.
They have instituted a Gesta po-like
setup with under cover people
watching eve ryone. The Deli setup is
terrible. People can meander aro und
munching until they find something
they want to eat; there is no flow of
traffic, no set en trance and no set exit.
Numerous s tudents and community
m embers I h ave spoken with have
go tten food, walked to a table, sa t
down, and started eating before they
even realized they had forgotten to
pay. They then have to get up and go
wai t in line to correct the blunder that
is created by the lack of structure.
Fine Host is scapegoating th e
stud e nts for their losses. Perhaps they
have so me sort of g rudge for th e
complaints people have about their
food and the way they treat their
employees; I don ' t know. But they are
making exa mples of people when it's
mostly the setup that is the problem .
To minimize th eft and error th e
stru cture of the deli should be better.
Back to the dime-store-rent-acop -u nde rcover-ou t-of- tow ne rs.
These people are masquerading as
undercover cops, threatening and
intimidating Greeners to follow them
somewhere and be detained. They
don't show a badge or identification
at any point. Isn't that a fal se arrest to
detain someone officially wi th out any
certifica tion ? Then they write up a
report while you wait for a cop to
arrive. These rent-a-goons are treating
studen ts like they are crimina ls
a lready, like the Na zis trea ted the
Jews ... I can say that, I'm Jewish.
What is Fine Host doing treating
Evergreen students like second-class
citizens? Who do they think they are,
ac ting like cops in the movies? Where
do th ey think they are, some third
world country where they can just run
over whomever they want? These are
Ev e rgreen s tud en ts they are
hand cuffing. If someone honestly tells
you they forgot and they will go pay...
Le t them! What is this, zero tolerance?
One s trike, go to jail? Thank you Miss
Reno. These are college students, not
cat burglars or hardened criminals.
Who knew about this when it began?
How did it progress to such insanity?
Is our Fine Host acting independently,
o r did they get the OK from
somewhere high up in the college?
OK, so back lip and put this in the
perspective of the "real world"; you
know, the one you reach by driving
about a mile down the road, right. So
anyway, these felons get their citations
sent to the Thurston County District
Court and 10 and behold, th e
prosecuting attorney says the sa me
thing tha t some ca mpus police officers
are saying, and that the administration
thinks is the best thing to do: deal with
this internally, use the grievance
process here on campus, which Fine
Host obviously sought to usurp. The
co urt apparently doesn't have the
resources or the time to waste clogging
up the legal system with a cartload of
pettiness.
What redress must Fine Host give
for treating us like 'w e are criminals?
It is time' to activate; it ends here.

Everg ree n Men's Basketba ll
team ea rn ed its seco nd co nsec utiv e
wi n on February 9th. The ga me was
played at th e Thund erdo m e in
Portland, Oregon "gainst th e
Cascade Thunderbirds. The game
was a clear vic tory for Eve rg reen
who won the game b y 16 points (8973). The tea m sho t 47 percent from
the field, 39 percent from three-point
range, and 70 percen t from the foul
line .
Andre Stewart was the leadi ng
scorer in the ga me with 26 points. He
had 8 rebo unds, 2 ass ists, a nd 2 stea ls
as well. Tre lton Spencer was close
behind with 24 points, 2 rebounds, 4
ass ists, 2 steals and a block. Ga rre t
Zwa r sco red very well with 14
pOints, and J i mmi e Ri cha rd son
added 9 points.
On February 10th, the Evergreen
Men 's Basketball team faced off
against Warner Pacific in Portland,
Oregon. The Evergreen team, which
recently defeated Cascade and
Kirkland , co ntinued to outshine its
compe titi on with a 98 to 94 win. The
team shot 52 percent from th e field
and an outs tandin g 85 percent from
the foul line.
This close game was exc iting all
aro und . Not only did Evergreen
come back to win after be in g down
by as many as 14 points in the first
half, but Andre Stewart broke the
college's single game scoring record
by posting a big 42. This beat Trclton
Spencer's prev ious record of 37. The
question now is - wil l Spe n cer
reclaim th e sco ring record or will
Stewart h o ld o n , perhaps even
bea ting his own record? On top of his
great sco rin g, Stewart g rab bed 11
rebounds a nd had one s teal. Spencer
performed excellentl y as well wi th
28 points, 5 assists, a nd 4 rebo un ds.
Garret Zwar has bee n displayin g
some hidden talent lately. In his last
two games he has reached doubl e
digit s with 11 and 14 point s
respective ly. Jimmie Richardson did
his part to hold th e leam up with 11
points, 4 assists, and 2 rebo unds.
On the 13th of February, th e men
faced Concordia he re at home and
won 66 - 63. Eve rgreen ca me from
behind, led by Andre Stewart's 20
point second half performance. He
ended with a ga me high 29 pOints.
Concord ia had a last seco nd three
point at tempt that ca me off the rim
and co uldn't ge t a no th er shot off.
This is the fO llfth Cascade
Co nfe ren ce win in a row for the men.
They currentl y are ti ed for fifth in the
conferen ce with tw o big matchups
com ing this weekend.
Ho pefull y Evergreen will be
"ble to co ntinue their winn ing strea k
through the two remaining regular
season games on February 16th
and 17th. Th ese are both home
games, and on the 17th there will be
a special treat. For the first time ever
we will see the Evergreen
cheerleading squad in action, so put
on some face paint, grab your greens,
and come cheer along with the m.
positions Available!
If you are reading this paper (which you are right now)
then you must have some idea of how we can be better.
