What they say
In your own weakness, you shall see.
Your eyes will constantly be on the dead. The dead though buried wish to rise.
Yet their wishing cannot match your weakness.
The dead will remain dead and you - weak.
In your weakness there will be times that you are mistaken for strength. You will crave
strength like your own blood. Your mothers and fathers will distance themselves.
You will thirst for the life you keep from yourself - you will drink only jealousy

We are trying to decide whether or not
w e should keep our logo (please see
above) for the rest of the year. Do you like
it? Do you think it's ugly? Do you have an
idea for a Cooper Point Journal logo?
Please stop by the CPJ office (CAB 316)
or phone us (867-6213) or email us
(cpj @evergreen.edu)
with
your
suggestions and comments.
How to get involved
We have a numbe r of meetings in order to better
the pa pe r. One issue we'd especially like student
input on is whe the r or not we should keep our
current clocktower-and -CPJ initials logo (see above).
If you have an idea about what our logo - or in
journalism-lingo, the "flag" - should look like,
please come up to our office, which is located on
I the third floor of the CAB building in room 316.
, Our meeting times are as follows.
A recent forum on sweat shop labor brought out the administration's lead-off hitters, namely:
President Les Purce, Vice President of Student Affairs Art Constantino and former Vice President
of Finance Steve Trotter. Student organizers, called Students Against Sweatshops, were pleading
with the school to drop its affiliation with a monitoring organization called the Workers Rights
Consortium and join a group called the Fair Labor Association instead. After two hours of
talking the aforementioned administrators agreed to consider dropping the WRC affiliation,
which they did a few days later. As a result, we are currently not affiliated with any sweat shop
monitor. It seems that TESC, the New York Times' "bastion of liberalism," is still sweating the
sweat shop issue.

On March 21,2001, a group of
Evergreen students and their
teacher will be traveling to the
Teacher's College of Wenzhou,
China. Students from both colleges
will engage in discussions,
presentations, workshops, and
other learning opportunities.
Through these and other informal
interactions, the students hope to
gain a better understanding of the
worldwide practice known as
teaching. As Meghan G., a student
from Evergreen, put it, "Teaching
is universal in human experience,
and sharing helps all to understand
the different ways we as humans
think, feel, and learn."
The Evergreen students are
enrolled in Arts and the Child, a
class that focuses on child
development and how art is
influential in the process of literacy.
Through illustrations, puppetry,
and poetry, these students are
learning innovative and engaging
ways to teach reading. These forms
of artistic expression will be a basis
for exchange during the trip.

You can get lice by sharing brushes or

sleeping bags. Getting freaky with dirty folks
isn't generally recommended, either. Make sure
to wash all your clothes, towels and bedding in really
hot water and then dry them on high.
Dreadlocks are chill places for a louse to take up

completely gone is to cut them off.
So, now that your head is full of bugs and none of your friends

some titilating options for a night of unad ulterated lice-infested fun.
"Pick a night where everyone can get together for household lice date.
Everyone should treat their body, their clothes and the environment

Oh, joy of joys.

This office offers education,

sex ua l vio lence, I started to offer
services to violence s urv ivors of any
type-including sexual, relational and
stra nger vio lence, and hate crimes.
If you ha ve experienced violence
and you need sup port or inform ation,

office on Wednesdays and Fridays
from 9a m to 3 :30pm. All services
thr oug h this office are free and
confidential. This is a place that you
ca n ca ll or co me to if vou want to
know what vou r options a re as a
survivor. Also, if you are confused or
you just need to talk, I am ava ilable .

As many of you are aware ,
violence is an ongoing iss ue on our
campus . The most important facets
of my job includ e supporting
survivors of violence and ending
violence on our campus. It is
important that each of you know
there is help available if you arc a
survivor. It is also important to me
that each of yo u know that I am
working along with s tudents and
other key people on campus to end
violence. As the Coordinator of the
Sexual Assault Prevention office, I
am seeking to change the name of
this office to include a foc us on
violence prevention in general. I am
also hop ing to bring in additional
resources for this office so that it ca n
truly meet the needs of our

There are many ways to get

The gulf between theory and
reality at Evergreen is most evident
in the General Education issue.
Students come here for an alternative
educa ti on, based on concepts of
cross-d ivis ional learn in g and the
pOSSibility of cont rollin g their own
educa tion. When they get here,
however, they face a sys tern tha t
make s it hard for s tud e nt s to
experien ce either. Cross-di v is ional
classes rarely move outside the focus
of fac ulty pl annin g units, which lead
to "c ro ss-d ivi siona l" cla sses in
subjects like histo ry and sociology, or
writing and literature. Truly crossdivision al classes, such as those on
art and environmental science, or
computer theory and writing, are
hard to find. The idea that Evergreen
s tud e nt s ca n plan their own
edu ca tion is a s ham as well. Students
wh o have co m e out of traditional
learn ing situa tions-generally a bad
mod el for tru e "education"-are
expected to s udd enly und ers tand
what they want to do and how to do
it on their own. Faculty that are

It's a well-known saying that you
should be careful what you wish for.
It's an even more well-known fact in
my family that when 1 wish for some
excitement in my life, bad things
happen.
Not that I'm saying that I'm
responsib le for anything. It's just that
my life vacillates between mor:nents of
high drama and great boredom.
Take this double edition of blotter. .
True, we did have a major catastrophe
(according to my sources) occur this
week. But can this make up for all the
fire alarms, stolen bikes, and lack of
case reports that plague this week's
blotter?
The answer is, of course, no, since
once again (like the police car getting
s tol e n) , I have been scooped by
seemingly everyone out there.
So be prepared for a blotter that
is mildly monotonous and ·rather
unexciting. In other words, it's been a
pretty slow two weeks. Except for the
natural disaster.

Tuesday, Feb. 20
10:42 a.m.
An employee is
injured at the CRe. A dark portent of
things to come?
3:50 p.m.
Someone's bike is
stolen from K-Dorm. How inventive.
4:21 p.m.
A person working in a
parking booth is approached by a man
in a gray hooded sweatshirt and
purple swim trunks. He told her he
was "modeling" for her and asked
how he looked. Instead of being
impressed by his sartorial acumen, the
attendant is mildly uncomfortable and
becomes more'so when he asks her to
open the window. "She noticed that
the suspect had a large erection." The
man leaves when she calls the police.
To make things even grosser,
witnesses later say that at one point,
he was naked from the waist down.
Wednesday, Feb. 21
2:18 a.m.
Ah, the grandeur of a
fire alarm that involves multiple floors
in A-Dorm with "water flow "
activation on the 6th. Is anything more
splendid? Perhaps the eruption of Mt.
Vesuvius, but this runs a close second.
3:33 a.m.
Shockingly,
drug
paraphernalia is found. In an exclusive
interview, Evergreen student Erica
Nelson gasped and said, "No way,"
proceeding then to faint in her chair.
Because, you know, she's easily
shocked.

does not sit well with someone.
Luckily, this person is all right.

eventually turn up in a parking lot.
What an odd place for keys to be.
Friday, Feb. 23
5:38 p.m.
A student sticks two
boiled eggs inside his sweatshirt front
pocket and proceeds to walk out
without paying for them. When asked
why he did such a thing, he says that
he put them in his front pocket to
prevent them from breaking and just
forgot to pay for them.
11:29 p.m.
Molson's may go
down smooth with some people
(Canadians), but for one student, it has
a bitter taste indeed. For you see, he
was arrested for MIP.
Saturday, Feb. 24
A bicycle is found in Housing. This
means joy for at least one person and
sorrow for me, since it's the only thing
that happened today.
Sunday, Feb. 25
1:14 a.m.
The blotter editor
would like to give you this poem,
inspired by today's case of reckless
burning and the works of Willia m
Blake:
Fire, fire, burning bright,
in the day or in the night,
can usually give me lots of fun ,
but I have no facts, not even one.
2:35 a.m.
Someone else gets
drunk in A-Dorm.
Monday, Feb. 26
Thieves abounded on campus, as
bicycles, keys, and credit cards went
missing. Happily, food in the Deli
remained apparently untouched and
crime-free.
Tuesday, Feb. 27
Nothing happened today.
Wednesday, Feb. 28
Something happened today. For more
details, see CNN, MSNBC, your local
paper, or any other fine journalistic
establishment (CPJ), as sadly I do not
have a blotter page or any case reports
pertaining to what occurred today.
Thursday, March 1
12:57 a.m.
Things get back to
normal rather quickly as someone
burns food in D-Dorm, setting off a fire
alarm. It's nice to see that some things
can be counted on.
1:13 a.m.
Some people cope
with trauma by getting counseling.
Others eat a lot of comfort food and
listen to country music. But in ADorm, it is dealt with loud noises,
things on fire, and the occasional flight
of a piece of furniture.
Friday, March 2
8:10 a.m .
A p par e n t I y,
something gets stolen today from the
bookstore. Please, in the name of all
that's good and right, let it not be the
Britney Spears CD.
8:18 p.m.
A fire alarm goes off in
T-Dorm . That's it, people. Either learn
how to cook or hide your pot better.
Saturday, March 3
12:36 a.m.
Two people, their
dogs, and a van park in F-Lot to spend
the night. Needless to say, they don't
get to stay there.
Drinking and driving
1:13 a.m.
lands at least one person in trouble,
with the possibility of another one
hour later.
Sunday, March 4
More people drink, more people get
busted, and yet another person

No fee increase
By Jaime Rassman
·The Evergreen Services and
Activities Fee Allocation Board
deliberated for nine hours this week
before finalizing its recommendations
for allocating almost three million
dollars of student fees over the next two
years. These fees provide operational
budgets for S&A Administration,
KAOS, the CPJ, the CCC (Child Care
Center), and RWA (Recreation,
Wellness, and Athletics), as well as
supporting more than sixty funded
student groups on campus.
For the first time in S&A history,
this year's Board will NOT be
requesting an increase in student fees
during the next biennium. By
rearranging distributions of funds, the
Board has been able to balance our
budget at current fee levels, even
though costs such as minimum wage
and electricity prices have risen over the

The whole night was emotional on
other levels as well. After actually being

ever took for granted that youngsters in
this country grow up near gunfire. It's
scary as hell to hear and see a gun go off.
The power is perfectly clear when the blast

guilty, of course, that I was alone, filming

helpless human beings.

Kerlikowske has said he takes "full
respons ibility" for the Mardi Gras
madness. I can respect police officers just
as much as the next guy when they are
willing to "protect and serve." The SPD
did neither of those things under
Kerlikowske's watch. They stood by as
people were beaten and robbed by thugs.
SPD, under the direction of
Kerlikowske, are a bunch of bogus
bastards and too many of the 4,OOO-some
people in Pioneer Square last week are
berserk bastards - one no better than the
other. Individuals and groups wandered
through the crowd, and random beatings
followed by stompings sprang up over
and over again. Worse yet, the police
knew what was happening.

Chief Kerlikowski is a chump. I'd like
to see him apologize to the citizens of
Seattle he works for and the officers who
work for him but who couldn't help
people because of his orders. 1'd like to see
the morons who unleashed the senseless
rage on each other and theirvictirns strung
up.
Seattle's mayor Paul Schell, it should
be noted, is also a spineless runt. Where
was Schell as his city gave way to vicious
violence? At home doing nothing. Josh Felt
of The Stranger points out that Schell
doesn't even think Seattleites are
responsible for the violence or that the
SPD's inaction was problematic. The onetenri wonder, again, makes us wonder.

ergreen True Campus Stories
By Michael Tanner
Evergreen is ripe with legends and mysteries, from steam tunnels to "Happy Land" to Ted Bundy (who is the reason cops
carry guns). Some of these legends have an inkling of truth, and some have an extreme deficit of that. Most of these Mysteries
have clear answers; you just have to find them. Twill find the answers, r will unlock the Mysteries, and r will reveal the
Legends-here and now, with help from you.
When did you come to
Evergreen?
I trallsferred here from Eastern
Washington University for my last
year and one quaner of college.
There, I studied Media and Writing.
Charlie M. asks:
Q, I heard that Ted Bundy killed a girl in . it's not true. And the cops can and will
the stairwell of A-Dorm. Did this really "hassle" you if you do that in there. I think
that in about four years, this legend will
happen?
transfer to the new floor of the COM
A. Nope. This is an old story used to Building, because it should be about finished
frighten young co-€ds. It was B-Dorm. Ha by then.
Who are your favorite musicians?
John Coltrane, because I feel like
he takes me to another level of
consciousness. Miles Davis, Regina
Carter, Duke Ellington, Thelonius
Monk, and the band Hanuman.
ha ha, only kidding. Or am I? No, really, I
am. Kidding, that is.
CAnniasks:
Q, 1 heard that when the TESC Police
confiscate "paraphema1ia," they store it in a
cage in the basement of the Ubrary. And that
one year, a kid broke in there and got
everything out, sold it, and then donated half
the money to the school. And that's how the
Longhouse was built and that's why you can
"smoke out" in there and the administration
won't let cops hassle you. Is this true?
What is your musical philosophy?
Play what sounds good and moves
me, what speaks to me and make:.'
me want to dance.
Anything you want to say?
The international jazz scene is
really starling to open up,
especially groups frol/1 Italy and
Brazil. One ill particular is
Hellborg , Lane, and Selvaganesh.
A.
Tough guise
"Toughguise" is a film
that explores pop culture
images of mascufinity and
how they seep into men's
pyche. It is showing this
Thursday the 8th at 7:00 PM

Crystal Blue Persuasion asks:
Q. I heard Evergreen has a fraternity.
Well, here we are, at the end. I hope you have
been informed and enlightened. Stay tuned
for next week, where I will tackle such topics
as the "Walking Girl," "Happy Land," and
the most mysterious mystery of aU, "Why
are there so many student groups?"

This is actually a really good legend, but
Mr. CHUD asks:
Q. Someone told me that Evergreen has a
series of underground tunnels running all
over campus, and these tunnels can be used
to enter any building. Is this true?
A. This isn't a question. It's a statement,
Crystal. But I'll help you anyway. Evergreen
has had several fraternities over the years.
They usually come about when a group of
friends watch Animal House or PCU too many
times and say to each other, "Wouldn't that
be the bomb if Evergreen had a frat?" And
then they usually disappear after they realize
that no one thinks that it is as funny as they
do.

Letter from an Alumnus

How many letters printed on

although I've not written it yet and
its contents are s till unshaped in my
mind. I am essentially reprimanding
previous submiss ions for th eir
arrogance and utter lack of selfconscious reflection.
In tones of moral superiority, we
talk about the other naive and
ignorant people who don't know
what oppression really is. This form
of one-upsmanship is no less foolish
than any other. "YO II arc overprivileged .. YOII don't know what YOII
are talking about. I grew up in The
Ghetto, so I know what real
oppression is like. My ancestors
suffered more than yO~IrS, so Illy
knowledge of my people's history is

As Americans, we are obsessed

socially responsible is it to berate

Know What You're Celebrating
by E. Rose Ndson
I'm sure a lot of people are
tired of hearing about personal
responsibility. But let's face facts,
shall we? If more people had it,
we'd probably talk less about it.
Pioneer Square suffered relatively
severe damage in last Wednesday'S
earthquake, so a lot of people
missed that some of that damage
was not earthquake-related but
stemmed from "Mardi Gras"
rioting. In fact, Mardi Gras and the
earthquake had the same number
o f deaths. One was a force of
nature; the other was people
unaware of the meanings of th eir
actions.
Mardi Gras, or "Fa t Tuesday,"
is an old Catholic celebration . In the
Catholic filith, Lent begins on Ash
Wednesday and lasts until Easter.
Lent is a period of forty days and
nights of atonement for s ins. At
first, Mardi Gras (that's French, by
the way) was just a way to get rid
of the food that people weren't
allowed to eat during Lent. In time,
that developed to, "Well, we've got
to atone; let's have something to
atone for!" In both of these
instances, the celebrating was the
prelude to a long period of soulsearching and self-improvement. In
other words, Mardi Gras was a
prelude to making yourself a better
person; it wasn't a cheap excuse to
drink beer and flash people . It
certainly wasn't rioting in the
streets.
Another popular "drink beer"
holiday in this country is St.
Patrick's Day. This is another
Catholic holiday; it is the feast day
of Saint Patrick. In Ireland, where
Patrick is the pa tron saint, it is
celebrated primarily by going to
church. Now, don't get me wrong.
March 8 2001 • 13· Cqop~r POlllt Journ,al
The Irish have been known to drink
a little beer (or mostly stout) in
their time, but they don't dye it
green, and they don't just drink.
Drinking in Ireland is more social
than that. There is singing and
storytelling; people may drink a
lot, but they drink a lot over a long
time. (My personal feelings on
Saint Patrick aren't exactly the
greatest-don't believe anything
you hear about him " peace fully
bringing Christiani ty to Ireland ."
Those s nakes he drove out of
Ireland were Druids, who were
slaughtered.) To be s ure, they can
s till get pretty drunk, but th e
alcohol is a sort of lubricant to
loosen the performers.
The third grea t "ethnic" beerdrinking holiday in this country is
Cinco de Mayo. In Mexico, Cinco
de Mayo is only celebrated in one
areil . It is not, contrary to popular
belief, Mexican Independence Day,
which is in September. Cinco de
Mayo celebrates the Battle of
Puebla, and it is primarily
celebrated in Puebla. I will admit
that I don't know how Cinco de
Mayo is celebrated in Pllebla, but I
do know that it is not celebrated in
most of the country.
If you're going to drink,
nothing I say will stop you. But
don't take someone else's
celebration as an excuse . The CPJ
does not accept anonymous
contributions for the most part ,
saying instead, "Own your words ."
I say, "Own your drinking ." If yo u
don't know the meaning behind
the celebration, you 're using it as
an excuse, and making excuses for
drinking is one of the signs of
alcoholism. If you want a party, I
have a party, but leave Lent, Saint
Patrick, and the Battle of Puebla
out of it.
Think Beyond the Present
by Megan Syverson
Greetings from an "eco-colonialist."
Beware: I have been known to pursue ignorantly
my environmental agenda "at all costs (including
human survival)."That, at least, is how Catherine
Tagnak Rexford targeted me, and other members
ofWashPIRG, in her recent editorial in the CPj.
We are working to keep the Arctic National
Wildlife Refi.lge from being opened to oil drilling.
Catherine took offe nse at our efforts; her
hometown of Kaktovik is economically
dependent upon th e oil economy of nearby
Prudhoe Bay. and drilling in the Arctic would
create jobs and revenue for her community.
I appreciate Cather in e's call to "think
before I act," and certain ly understand the
complexity of this difficult issue. I acknowledge
Ill)' respon~ibility to research all asperts of this
i,sue thoroughly. as we ll as my obligation to act
conSistently with Illy findings .
"You , who have elected to cease exploration
and development at all costs. will remove thi, tax
ba,e, along with the right of the Inupiaq to
survive economically... You are dictating to the
Inupiaq people how to control their lands." This
statement from Ca therine's letter is a broad and
unfair generalization of our actions. Despite its
three Superfund sites, we do not want to shut
down Prudhoe Bayor the other 95 percent ofthe
Nort h Slope that is already open to drilling.
Preservation of the Refuge would not take away
anything that the Inupiaq people already have.
Drilling would, on the other hand, destroy an
existi ng economy for other native people on the
"orth Slope.
Catherine asked if'we have ever engaged in
dialogue with any native person from Alaska;
I'es, and we realize that this issue sharply divides
Alaskan tribes. The Inupiaq are not the only
native people 011 the Nort h Slope. Catherine has
ronJ.~ed lIpon the issues of her people, who have
recent I)' "enter(ed) into t he cash economy." Ti,e
GlI'ich'in tribe. on the other hand. are fighting
1'0 c iferoll~ly agaillst drilling to ensure their own
sur\'il'aillear the Arctic Refuge. Drilling will take
place 011 the Coastal Plaill , what they call
"Vadza ih googii vi detik'it gwalllii." or "The
sacred place where Life begins" (Gwich'in
Steering Committee web site). Their subsistence
lifestyle, including over 75 percent of their
protein , depends upon the 12!J,OOO-member
Porctlpine Caribou Ilerd ("Cwich'in" trallslates
as "People oflhe Caribou"). The Coastal Plain is
the annlJal cail'illg groullds oft he herd. and even
the 1I10st ('lIl'irulllflentaliy responsible drilling is
estimated to decrease its population by at least
40 percent. In the words of Sarah james, a key
Gwich'in leader, "The caribou is not just what
we eat; it is who we are. It is in our dances, stories,
songs, and the whole way we see the world.
Caribou is our boots and mittens. Caribou is how
we get from one year to another." (Arctic Circle,
"Inupiat and the Gwich'in")
The inupiaq cannot speak for all native
people; their position, understandably enough,
is driven by their own economic interests.
Twenty years ago, most Inupiaq of Kaktovik
opposed drilling on environmental grou nds.
Inupiaq legislators still oppose offshore drilling,
as whale, walrus and other sea mammals are to
Inupiaq cu lture what the caribou are to the
Gwich'in. I challenge Catherine to explain why
the on ly met hod she sees for her people·s
economy to flouri sh is through the destruction
of another culture.
Who is the "colonialist" in this issue'! Is it
really the conservat ionist devoted to preserving
the current state of the Refuge? How about the
oil industry that plans to drill on sacred land,
destroy the subsistence economy and culture of
7,000 Gwich'in, and entrap the Inupiaq of
Kaktovik into an unsustainable export economy?
In her letter. Catherine demanded: ·'What
ue YOU personally doing to encourage
alternative energy? You are taking this position ...
but not participating in the establishment of
alternatives." Actually, I am running our
Renewable Energy campa ign, which is
supporting sustainable energy bills currently in
the state legislature. I invite Catherin e. and
a'nyone else interested in promoting renewable
resources, to join us.
This is an issue that aflects us all. and which
transcends cu ltural bOllndaries. To me,
irreversible harm to the environment, the
Gwich'in peopJr, and even to the future Inupiaq
of Kaktovik olltweigh a temporary economic
boon. Who will deal with the Superfund sites?
Who wi ll revitalize the economy of Kaktovik
when the last drop of oil is extracted?
Catherine challenged WashPIRG: "Think
before YO Il act." I oflt'r Illy ow n challenge. to
those who support drilling as well as those who
think that they will not be affected by this
congres,ional decision: think beyond the
present.

the Lecture Iiall Rotunda. Feel free to emai l me

by Jrt:ne Mark Buirenkanr
Twenty years ago, Ronald
Reagan was told that 10% of old
growth remained . He replied,
"That's enough."
Tom Snyder, a TV host, asked
what the problem was, because he
observed "lots of trees" from the
window on a train trip up the coast.
Now, only 5% of old growth
remains.
The tree- harvesters have
given us comforting words such as
susta inable and manageable, but
the trees continue to being cut
down by people who make public
policy for their self-interest.
The people who founded this
sc hool promoted reading and
discussions which advanced
cri tic al thinking. Time and
opport unity were not wasted on
compe titive sports at the
beginning. (We now have three
pages in the CP) reporting on
sports.) Others, less courageous,
relying on their own conventional
wisdom, discouraged enroiling
stude nt s who weren't lo cals,
(thereby lo sing the perspectives
and experiences of students from
other areas), promoted armed
security (adva nci ng gun culture),
and encouraged the interests of
loggers. How is it possible to think
of loggi ng (th innin g the forest)

.Middle East on Camhus
r
By D:lni,,1 Fkck
A few months ago, I attended a talk at the
Evergreen campus given by a Palestinian activist
concerning the recent violence ill the Middle East
and the qu~st for a lasting peace. TIle lect ure was
orga ni zed in solidarity with the First Year Core
Program Imagining the Middle East. The speaker
was a member of a Palestinian activistorganizatioll
working towards accomplishinga lasting peace in
this volati le and complex region. The organization
had established a seven-point program, seven
imperativecollditions under which a lasting peace
combined with asense ofjustice could occur. These
seven points ranged from, first, the Israeli
leadership admitting that mistreatment of
Palestinians has occurred at the hands of Zionist
forces since the foundingofthejewish State in 1948
(an admission that apparently has yet to occur) to
the Right of Return for Palestinian refugees.On the
whole, Ifound Ius comments to be mstructlve and
beneficial to myself,and my greatcr understanding
of the dynamics of the conflict. However, upon
greater reflection, I have grown concerned by the
briefcomments that an Evergreen faculty member
made upon introducing the featured speaker - in
particular, the comparison of the recent and
ongoing Palestinian Intifada to a prison uprising.
It is my understanding that 011 other, more
mainstream university campuses, expressing
personal politics within the ITameworkofacademic
discourse is, at times, shied away ITom. Of course,
there exist mallyvaluable exceptions to this, and it
represents an important sector of American
culture: the small, dissident intellectual culture that
provides a valuable counterpoint to mainstream
perceptions delineated through mass media, etc. I
in no way advocate or imply that this professor
should be denied his right to ITee expression of his
beliefs or findings, regardless of the controversy
that pervades any specific issue he or she may be
commenting upon. In fact, it is a noble and
somewhat heroic undertaking to sacrifice prestige
and privilege to express dissident views. As Martin
Luther King once orated at the height of the Civil
Rights Movement, "It is one of the greatestglories
of America that we have the right of protest."
However, I wish to draw a distinction between the
mere expression of personal politics and the
unethical imposing of personal politics upon
relatively uninformed individuals for the purpose
of indoctrination.
One should not be contented with hearing
but one side of a story. The consequence of this
oversimplified and gratuitously one-sided
perspective can be perfectly illustrated by a
question posed by a member of the audience,
composed primarily offirst year students, during
the question and answer session that immediately
followed the activist's talk. The young girl asked,
'·00 you think that the Israelis would be willing to
accept peace according to the program put forth?"
It seems to me the more reasonable question
to ask would be to reverse it: "Are the Palestinians
willing to accept peace on these terms? Is
coexistence with Israel at all feasible for the
Palestinians under any terms?" If the historyofthe
last fifty years and the recent EI-Aksa Intifada has
taught us anything, it is that the response, many
Israelis believe, could likely only be a resounding
no. The fact remains that much of the internal
Palestinian dialogue is motivated by visions of
bloodletting, vengeance, destruction of the Israeli
society, and jihad - holy war. The fact that the
question was phrased the way it was, questioning
thewillingness ofIsraelis to accept terms for peace,
is a testament to the entire atmosphere of the
presentation, not to mention the intensive and
uninterrupted stigmatization of Israel that has
been beaten into people's brains in and around the
Evergreen community by figures of intellectual
authority, over the radio airwaves, in the student
newspaper, and, at the risk of seeming
presumptuous, in the tainting of the Middle East
Program by the personal political beliefs of its
professors. At nojuncture in this presentation was
a word spoken in defense ofIsrael; this was not its
purpose. It seems reasonable that, perhaps on a
later date- - not necessarily at the same time as the
Palestinian activist's talk, for it was not advertised
as a debate - a speaker could be invited to present
an Israeli perspective. I have seen. no flyers
announcing any such visit, and, furthermore, it
appears highly unlikely that it will ever occur, for it
directly conflicts with the beliefs of the program's
professors, and is therefore devoid ofany relevance
whatsoever.

The recent assault of four
Evergreen students in their own
hpme seems like a hard thing to
ignore. However, Evergreen has
found a way, There has been minimal
attempt by the community or the
police to help the accosted students.
The Evergreen 'p opulace seems to be
more comfortable ignoring that
violence can occur on our campus.
By ignoring this incident, they are
doing nothing to prevent it from
happening again, So, to do my part
in aiding all prospective victims of
senseless, sometimes-belligerent
violence, I am providing a guide to
getting help within a system that
feels that nothing needs fixing.
If you are alone in your
apartment and a shady, insidious,
uninvited character is making you
feel uncomfortable, go outside and
yell "KEGGER." Your house will be
inundated with people, and your
would-be attacker will either be
sca red off or swept away by the
crowd as they go out to seek a real
kegger.
Now, if the kegger thing doesn't

"a rtisti c impulses" b eca u se th a t
sounds better than "insanity, but
probably not the dangerou s kind." At
least, those of us who have chosen to
take a program related to our art. The
thing about art is, the more you do
it, th e better you get. And th e better
you get, the harder it is to remember
to do other things . Devoting most of
your conscious hours to it for three
months is a good way to get
swallowed whole . As the end of the
quarter approaches, many of us are
doing some of our best work while
rapidly losing our tenuous grip on
sanity. This is true of every quarter
in which we allow our art to
dominate our lives, but that does not
make it any easier to live through at
the moment. Splendid examples of
this can be found in my own home .
The Empty Stage theater program
(responsible for the recent production
of" Angels in America") is preparing
for their production of Tom
Stoppard's "Arcadia." "Arcadia" is
an intense a nd witty play about time
and gardening, intelligence and
intellectuals , and the sex ual and
mathem a ti cal action of bodies in heat.
It will run from th e eighth to the
eleve nth, which means that by the
tim e YOll read this several of th e
performances may be over. And
there is no one, not the director, or
the s tars, o r anyone e lse, who takes
more sa tisfac tion in that than [ do.
Because my foommat e He idi - ros e
plays "Thomasina," one of th e
female lead s, and it's killing us both.
Heidi-rose is so busy with th e play
that s he doesn't eve n hav e time to
s leep, and J am just so s ic k of
"A rcadia " I could choke on my own
bile. I love Heidi-rose to death, you
und ers tand , but "Thomasina" is a
god-awful roommate . I have so m e
faint hope that once the play' is over
she'll move out.
I don't mind funning lines all
the time or having my library raided
to provide props. I've gotten used
to seeing my roommate less than my
professors, and considering how
little time I spend away from my
desk, it would be the same if she
were in a normal program. What
bothers me is that we haven't had a
single conversation in the last
month
that didn't invoive
"Arcadia." Not one. If I hear one
more Arcadian reference, one more
story about the trauma of being
forced to remove facial piercings in
order to playa character from the
1800's, I'm going to start talking to
our potted plants.
In some ways, I deserve it. I'm
always making Heidi-rose read my
writing, or bursting into her room
first thing in the morning to print
six copies of a seven-page piece that
I'm bringing to workshop that day,
or stealing her thesa urus beca use
it's better than mine . Worst of all, I
make her read the first drafts of
George W. hadn't been elected. She
puts up with all of thi s, just as I put
up with "T h o ma si ila ," and we
co mplain s urpri singly little to eac h
other's faces. Mostly, I think we're
too tired.
At the moment, I am so sick of
both writing and theater that I would
happily beat Tom Stoppard to death
with my laptop. What stops me is the
fact that sp ring vacation is immine nt.
I kn ow that in three weeks, I will be
fairly well rested, and I will look at
the work I have done this quarter,
and it will be good. I will probably
feel privileged to have been allowed
to burn myself out. The really special
thing about college, apart from the
fact that it allows access to career
paths that don ' t involve special
sauce, is that you get to spend four
years being yourself as hard as you
can. For the last two months, I have
spent most of my time writing and
seen the rest of my life as a petty
distraction. I have written until my
brain started making this weird
humming noise and then stopped
working all together. I need a break
desperately, but after I've healed up
a little, part of me will wish I was
wri ting obsessively again. Once I
g~aduate, I'll have to pay attention
to my life all the time. I'll have a job
to do, and rent to pay, and eventually
kids to pick up from daycare, and I'll
have to fit my writing in around all
that. I will not have the luxury of
confusing art and life . I will miss the
exhilaration and the adrenaline and
the feeling that my muse is standing
behind me all the time. I'm sure
Heidi-rose will miss "Thomasina."
It's possible that by then, I might,
too. But at the moment, I'm just
hanging on ' til the eleventh.

THE INTERVIEWS: KYLE NELSON
I'm talking to Kyle Nelson, the
Athletic Trainer here at Evergreen. He
keeps all the teams going. This is Kyle's
first year here at Evergreen. He comes
from Portland by way of California. Let's
get to know him.
CPJ: So, where are you from?
Kyle: Originally, I grew up on the Oregon
coast. I spent my whole life down there
in a little town called Heebo. A very small
town. It's one of those towns that, if you
blink when you drive through, you'll
probably miss it. Out of high school, I
went to the University of Oregon for a
couple of years, then I moved to Portland
to go to Mount Hood to ijgure out what I
wanted to do--and not spend all of my
money-so J lived in Portland for about
ten years. In that time I took some time
off from school and just worked and
explored different careers, what I wanted
to do with my life. Then, I ended up going
back to school at Portland State. I finished
both my bachelor's and my master's
degree there. I got my bachelor's in 96
and my master's in 98.
own. I just started applying at different
positions all over the country. I applied
as far as Duke, University of North
Carolina, University of Maine, and Fort
Kent. To California, the midwest-everywhere--and stumbled upon a
position at a community college in
California called Gavland Community
College. Two year school, but they had
seven sports, including football.
CPJ: Did you work on all the sports or did
you specialize in one team?
Kyle: I was the head athletic trainer there,
so I was responsible for all the sports.
They didn't have very much money. They
didn't have an athletic training staff.
There was just one person-myself. I was
the head athletic trainer, plus] was also
the equipment manager.
CPJ: How wa s the transition from
Gavland to Evergreen?
Kyle: It was very nice. The position down
in California was a good step for me. It
was a good experience for me to get head
athletic trainer experience.
CPJ: In sports medicine?
Kyle: In a related field . Health and fibless
promotion was my bachelor's and a
master's in public health, and I had a
minor in athletic training.
CPJ: Where'd you go from there? After
you graduated?
Kyle: Once I graduated, I knew t11at [
needed to find a job and get out on my
CPJ: How do the athletes you work on
here compare with athletes that you've
worked on at other schools?
Kyle: The atheletes here are more
involved, and ] think they have a little
more investedt in what they are pursuing.
CPJ: What is the best moment for you
since coming to Evergreen?
Kyle: I think the best moment so far has
been .. .1 guess a bunch of small ones ... it's
the times that the coaches or the atheletesmaybe the athletes introduce me to their
parents, or the coaches introduce me to
other people, and they say, "This is our
athletic trainer, and he's doing a great job
forus. This is his first year, and he's doing
a great job." Athletic trainers are in the
backstage or behind the scenes. They
don't get a whole lot of recognition, and
we don't expect a whole lot. When we
get something like that, it makes us feel
good as athletic trainers. You ask any
athletic trainer around; they enjoy getting
recognition. I don't know one that
doesn't. Everyone likes to get recognition,
but that's not the reason we are in our job.
The reason we are in our job is to take care
of atheletes and to make sure everyone is
healthy. When we do get some small bit
of recognition from people, it makes it all
worth it.
CPJ: Are you interested in having students
that want to volunteer or that are on
contract come work in the training room?
Kyle: Yes. Definitely I would . It is one of
my goals. To try to, one, add educational
courses here that satisfy the requirements
for becoming certified, and two, to start
an actual athletic trainers' program to
have student athletic trainers come in.
Ideally, it would be something I could pay
people for, or they could get credit. Maybe
workstudy. So I could draw a -good
number of students in and it just elevates
the amount and quality of care we can
provide the athletes. We can get into that
situation where if I have a couple of
~oVlld yo'U..like ~o
students; I can send a student with a
soccer team on the road, every time they
go on the road, and they have one person
that always takes care of them. So that
helps.
CPJ: How would you go about instituting
that? What is the start?
Kyle: I think just justifying true need for
it, and, with the addition of three new
sports in the fall of next year, that's a point
in our favor. Saying, "This is what you
have now. You're adding three more
sports. You need to step up your support
staff as well. Increase your support staff.·
And the acknowledgement is there. They
know they need more help. But on the
other side of that is obviously the funding.
Whether we get the funding to support
an increase in support staff. As far as the
courses ... I'm still getting used to the
Evergreen system of education, and I'm
not sure what the proper steps are to take.
I've talked to the Athletic Director and the
Assistant Athletic Director, and different
people in the CRC, to find out what would
be the best way to go about that. You could
include it in an existing program like,
Health and Human Performance, or
another program. Maybe you can throw
in a couple of athletic training cources,
and at lea s t the st ude nt s get some
experience through taking these cources.
CPJ: If any students are interested in
athletic training, come talk to Kyle in the
CRe. Maybe something can get going
once student interest can get generated_
Talk to your teachers and see what you
can get worked out.

S W I MMIN G
AXIOMS: TRUE or FALSE
Sports Briefs
by: Shasta Smith
Spring Athletics are starting up, and while there will be a lot to se.e and do, Evergreen's only NAIA team
is tennis. On the club side there will be a myriad of teams to join and a couple to watch.
,
TENNIS
The season has started and the men's tennis team is showing signs of life. On March 3,d the men traveled to
Ashland, Oregon to face Southern Oregon in the morning and Northwest Nazarene in the afternoon. The men
started by beating Southern 9-0 and ended the day losing 6-3 to Northwest Nazarene.
The number one doubles team of Mike Butte and Mike Schor lost their opening set 5-3 but came back to
send the match into a tiebreaker where they won 7-4. Both members of the number one team are new to the
team and school this year.
The number two singles player, Will Tubman, rallied in the third set of his match to defeat Dan Graham of
Southern 6-4, 3-6, 7-6.
Senior Neal Ahern, playing number three on the singles side, had two victories in two singles matches,
beating both his Southern and l)..is Northwest opponents.
Mike Schor, the new player from North Bennington, was perfect in the afternoon, winning both his singles
matches and both his doubles. Schor was teamed with Ahern for the Northwest match-up; they won 8-6.
The men's program has turned a new leaf and is moving on up; it will be interesting to see where they go
this year.
CLUB SPORTS
Women's rugby and Ultimate are two club teams that are always looking for athletes. The women ruggers
are looking for that last handful of players to round out their team.
The men and women's crew teams are in full gear and have been since school started. Their regattas and
duel meets start up in March and go nearly every weekend until the end of May. The team is working very hard;
I had a chance to go to one of their early morning practices. It takes a certain breed of person to get up every
weekday morning at 5 AM and get onto freezing cold water. It will be exciting to see how the new crew teams
ADMINISTRATION
It's house-cleaning time for the Evergreen Athletics Administration. Without the NAIA intercollegiate
responsibilities weighing too heavily, the college can 'focus on getting money for its club teams, fundraising for
the upcoming fall NAIA season, and recruiting.
The women's volleyball team,.one of tRe new programs for the fall season, has instituted a huge fundraising/
recruiting drive. Coach Bill Lash is running weekend tournaments to generate revenue and show prospective
Evergreen 'freshmen what his system and new school are all about. There are literally hundreds of girls that are
coming through the CRC and getting to see what a college gym looks and feels like.
Coach Arlene McMahon is consistently showcaSing the school to prospective student athletes. Her theory is
that, once the prospects see the beauty of the Evergreen campus and get a feel for the student body, they are way
more likely to return to play.
Coach John Barbee and his assistant Bill Benton have a'list of 50-75 prospects from the area and from around
the country. Coach Barbee is looking for specific elements to flesh out his team. "This makes the recruiting
process that much harder," Coach Barbee said, "because you are looking for the right player, not just another
body to train." The team is looking for some size to hit the boards hard and a point guard who can come in and
help run the offense. Coach Barbee has had good success in California (Trelton Spencer) and will be hunting
down there for more star talent. The problem with recruiting in and to Washington is the 12 schools that the
players can choose from . The players that are highly coveted can pretty much pick where they want to go.
NEW MASCOT PICTURE
In other news, the administration plans to make the school mascot more visible to the public and to the
campus. Matt Groening and his brother were hired to draw a picture that could be put on the gym floor and
around campus on T-shirts and the like, but they backed out. There is talent working on the image, so don't be
surprised to return next year and see the mascot everywhere.
Axiom 1: Boxers traditionaly abstain
from sex for days, weeks, or months
before a fight to save energy.
True. I understand the term
"wobbly knees;" it's factual, and not just
during the earthquake.
Axiom 2: Athletes are meathead jocks.
False. Well, sometimes. A lot of
athletes are intelligent, creative, even
sensative.
Axiom 3: Team names matter in sports.
Absolutely true. Raiders, Strikers,
United, Bears, uh ... Geoducks?
Axiom 4: Evergreen teams arc losers.
False. Not anymore; not since the
kung fu team started the winning streak
and went to the World Championships.
Not since Dave Webber took over and
new coaches are coming in with
enthusiasm. Not since Shasta covers it
all on Shasta's Evergreen Sports Show
and in the CPJ sports section.
Axiom 5: Eddie Haskel is dead.
False. He is alive and well and
living at Evergreen.
Axiom 6: Uniforms matter; color and
design is important.
True. Black warm-ups and dark
green tops for Women's Soccer, Arlene
rules. Men's soccer: teal green and
white. You make the call.
Axiom 7: Evergreeners are "pot heads."
True. There were a group of
students who called themselves the "pot
heads." They attended home basketball
games banging pots with wooden
spoons.
Axiom 8: You can even get credit at
Evergreen for hanging your clothes.
True. I've got my sports jerseys
hanging behind me on my sports show
while I'm talking, editing, and brin~i(tg

Axiom 9: You can't have sex on a
trampoline.
False.
Axiom 10: Shasta can't walk and chew
gum at the same time ...

The Evergreen State College
Department of Athletics and
Recreation announced Friday,
March 2, not to renew women's
basketball head coach Rick
Harden's contract for the 2001-2002
season. This is the end for the only
women's basketball coach thus far.
Harden, a former three time coach of
the year in Australia's National
Basketball League, couldn't seem to
get it going a t Evergreen, ending
with a 13-95 record.
Coach Harden will remain the
tennis head coach through the 2001
season.
The administration is looking to
fill the open coaching position as
soon as possible. The athletics
department wants to offer a full-time
position at the college, combining
the women's basketball coach
position with a current full-time job
that is open in recreation. Evergreen
plans to bring all of its coaches into
the college in fulI-time positions
eventually. John Barbee, the men's
basketball head coach, already fills
that role and with the women's
basketball spot open, another
basketball coach can get to work full
time here as well.

The man and women's swim team
did exceptionally well at the NAIA
National swim meet in Burnaby, Canada.
The women improved six places from last
year to finish 8th overall. Ryan Miyake the
entirety of the men's swimming team,
showed the power of one and placed 10"'
overall on the men's side, beating out two
other teams.
"The noisy atmosphere generated
enthusiasm for the team and made us
swim well" claimed Coach Bendock. "It's
a small facility, so the crowd feels like it's
right on top of you." The meet was a big
mix of teams, some of which were huge.
Evergreen was the smallest school there
as most every :;chool fielded at least one
men's and one women's relay teams.
Ryan Miyake had been battling a
cold going into the meet but still swam
tough. His top finishes were both 6th as
he did extremely well in the 200 fly
(2:14.11) and the 1500 free (17:18.65).
Senior Captain Bonnie Martin did
outstandingly, finishing in the lop 6 in the
200 breaststroke; she finished with a time
of 1:20.85. She did very well anchoring the
relay team as well giving season best split
times. As a special honor, Martin was
awarded one of six NAlASchoiar Ath.lete
awards for the 2000-2001 season, this is
the second year in a row Martin has
received this honor.
Amber Totz placed 11 th in the 100 fly
with a 1:11.53. She had some fierce
competition on her way up through the
ranks before she placed in the top twelve.
Misty Westphal toughed out a hurt
back to place 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. In the 400
free, Westphal placed 2nd with a 4:32.94.
In the 1500 free, she placed 3rd with a
17:57.70, and in the 200 free, Westphal
captured 4th with a 2:09.06. Westphal had
seen a doctor for painkillers before the
meet, but they made her nauseated, so she
toughed it out and swam excellently. The
Olympia native wanted a first place finish
and is hungry to return nex t year.
Alison Aylesworth had very solid
performances in her leg of the relays,
helping the team to its great success.
Aylesworth had an eye-opening
experience and will be ready to race in the
singles events next year. The women's
relay team had season best times on all
t11eir races. The top finishes for the four
women were a 7Lh in the 800 free with a
9:40.88 and a 7'" in the 4oo-medley relay
with a final time of 4:48.46.
The swim team returned with 13 top
12 finishes. "The team received lots of
compliments on its progress," said Coach
Bendock. "We can do better with more
conditioning though, and a larger team,
recruiting will help. The NAIA values that
you hear about were evident at the meet.
Everyone was screaming bloody murder
when the race was on, but afterwards,
swimmers would shake hands and
congratulate
each other.
The
sportsmanship added an electric element
to the races and made it a real positive
environment for the swimmers."
Congratulations to the swim team as
their 2000-2001 season draws to a close.
Mens
Basketball
by Gin Harbold
and Shasta Smith
The men's season has drawn to
a close, but not quite in the fashion
we had hoped.
Evergreen men's basketball had
a heartbreaking loss in their first
round playoff game against
Southern Oregon. Trelton Spencer,
the most talented player that
Evergreen has ever seen, and the two
other seniors who worked so hard
for a championship ring, missed
their last chance. The game ended 94
to 85. Trelton Spencer finished the
game with 21 points and his career
with 1740 points . Spencer holds five
single game, nine single season, and
twelve career records for Evergreen
basketball. Andre Stewart played
exceptionally well again, s.coring 29
points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
Stewart also became the sixth player
ever to score 18 consecutive
freethrows without a miss in one
game, an impressive feat from next
year's team leader.
Coach Barbee said it was a good
game and is disapointed that the
season is over. Assistant Coach Bill
Benton had some really good
comments. "We really grew as a team
this year," he said. "The loss of
Trelton is going to be big for us, but
we bring back a lot of experience next
year that hopefully we can take with
us and use. I'm proud of the effort
nigh t in and nigh t out."

Invites you to
Intern this Spring!
Dear Working Class Greeners,
Do you work your ass off just to
scrape by as a student at Evergreen?
Do you loathe the fact that so many
wealthy students who go here don't
have to work at all and have a lot
more time to finish aSSignments than
you do? Do you ever look around
you and wonder why there seems to
be fewer and fewer working class
students and s tudents of co lor in
Evergreen's ranks? Are YOll ready for
things to get EVEN WORSE THAN
THEY ARE?
On Friday, April 6, do yourself a
favor and co me join up with
hundreds of fellow st ud ents,
teachers, teaching assistants, campus
workers, and supporters from across
the state of Washington in a mass
protest to protect access to higher
ed ucationJrO? low-incom e people
(like yourself) and to demand decent
salaries, wages, and working
conditions for all who work in the
education industry.
The Governor claims that
budget cuts froml-695 and other
initiatives leave no option but to
either raise tuition, cut wage and
salary increases for ed uca tion
workers, or decrease social services.
We .are standing up on April 6 to let
Locke know that we won't let him
define the parameters of this debate.
We want to know what isn't even
being considered for cuts. We want
to know why $6.34 billion-24% of
the state budget-is being spent on
tax breaks and other s ubsidies to forprofit corporatio ns in the timber,
computer, and other industries, and
why this massive corporate welfare
is not even being considered as a
place for cu ts ins tead!
Since most people haven't heard
about this (hmmm, why would that
be?), let me go over a few of the basic
points in Locke's budget proposal : 1)
tuition caps will be raised by 10%
annually and by 40% over six-year
periods; 2) control of tuition is taken
away from the legislature (who are
at least nominally accountable to
students) and given to appOinted
officials-such as regents- instead;
3) allows different tuition rates to be
set for different majors , i.e.
engineering classes would cost more
than art classes. This would force
low-income students into cheaper
majors, which have lower expected
earnings at graduation; 4) it allows
unlimited tuition increa ses for
graduate and professional programs.
Some administrations have already
s tated that, if this aspect of the bill
passes, tuition for some programs
will double within the next 3 years.
Thought you might want to become
a teacher? Locke thinks you should
think again.
Some people think that tuition
increases don't excl ude anyone
because of the old myth that

significantly higher at $5,020-only
17% qualify for aid. At the University
of Michigan, tuition is a whopping
$6,513, and there, financial aid is
even less, as only 16% qualify for aid.
Clearly, as tuition goes up, lowincome attendance at a college or
university goes down. Also, tuition
increases hit women and people of
color the hardest. Since 1-200 (which
abolished Affirmative Action) passed
in California in 1997, minority
