Masked people tell Marriott to leave
Police investigate, food service bids jeopardized

Reformed
Aryan Nation
leader Floyd
Cochran comes
to TESC
by Steve Menter and
Ca rmel Aronson
Floyd Cochran was once a topranking official in the white
supremacist group Aryan Nation.
The Aryan Nation combines
Nazi ideology with religious
propaganda to perpetuate white
power and superiority over people of
color, homosexuals, religious
minorities, and every other nondominant group.
He dropped out of the white
supremacy movement after a hate
group leader suggested that
Cochran's son could not be part of
the organization because he had a
cleft palate and that he was
"defective." This personal test
unwoulld his faith in an ideology
that suggests that all those who are
different are less perfect.
[n 1992, Floyd Cochran
renounced all forms of racism, and
in 1993 , he began speaking in
public t~fombat hate, prejudice,
and ijI'furll\s of oppressio~:
Floyd-'_ pffers a l\niq~~
perspective on race and class issu-es
through being an avid racist turned
activist. He will speak on the
current sta le of white supremacy
groups and the action it will take to
dismantle them. F[oyd Cochran has
been honored by the NAACP,
YWCA,the Anti-Defamation league,
and other anti-hate groups.
Floyd Cochran will be at
Evergreen on Wednesday, April 25 in
Lecture Hall 1 at 7 p.m.
This event is sponsored by the
Jewish Cultural Center, The
Evergreen Queer Alliance, and
Umoja.

More than 40 studcllts with ski masks,
hoods. and bandanas over their faces
surrounded representatives frol11 food vendor
Sodexho Marriott at a meeting last Thursday
and told them to leave.
The l1leetingwas in a dorm meeting room
and was intended for a stude nt group to ask
questions of the Marriott. which wants to take
over food services at EI'ergreen.
Piper Kapin is the persall who talks to
,rudents and food companies and then helps
admi nist rators decide who gets the contract.
She set up the meeting and is lI'urried the
masked st udents drove away potential food
~ervice compan ies.
"Evergreen is 110t really an attractive
account for these bidders. The timing of th e
protest was a little off. It ha s the potential of
scaring away ~ome venchrs," she sa id.
Bids are due next Wednesday.
Although Marriott district manager
Larry Stahlberg won 't say if the incident will
affect their decision to apply, he did say that
Marriott may file criminal charges.
Stahlberg didn't say if the charges would
app ly to the individuals involved or to the
college.
Police services is investigating to see if the
people in masks broke the Social Co ntract, the

Student Conduct Code, state law. or all three.
Vice Pres ident Art Costa ntin o says that
on the surface , the incident is harassment and
violate ' the part of Evergreen's Social Contract
that says, "The indil'idual members of the
Evergree n com munit y are responsible for
protecting each other and visitors on campus
ti-om physical harm, from personal threats and
from uncivil abuse." .
All this became public yesterday when
Costan tino sent an all-campus email.
"This type of behavior is intolerable. The
individuals who engaged in it di~rupted a
co llege activ it y and sough t to intimidate
camp us visitors. The fact that they were
masked is especially pernicioliS. Being masked
at such a time undermines taking individual
re~po nsibilit y for actions, and brings to mind
the tactics of hate groups," Costantino wrote.
Kapin s:lid that while protest ing is a
norma l act ivity at Evergreen, this instance
made her feel uncomfortable.
"One person made a statemen t that I felt
crossed the line," Kapin said. "He asked Larry
[Stahlberg] if he needed an escort to his car.
The way it was said was aggress ive."
Gabriel Pettyjohn was an unmasked
attendee at Thursday's meeting. He said that
the group of masked people filed into the Edge,
and two women read from a piece of paper.

Pettyjohn says nobody shouted obscenilie~
and nobody tried to intimidate the people
from Marriott.
"The obscenities were directed at the
company, not at the individuals. It was
basically like 'we won't fucking stand for this. '
It was n't obscenity directed at any individual.
It was to express the outrage. And that was
followed not by chanting; it was followed by
clapping. Everyone clapped in unison.
'There's no law aga inst wearing ma~k s.
No crime was committed. Th ere was no
implication of physical risk. and I'd say they
didn't disrupt campus activity, the y
participated in it," Pettyjohn said.
One student responsible for organizing
the protest said that the group was trying to
be neither threatening nor abusive. He didn't
want to be named in print, becaJse he fears
retribution fi-om Evergreen administrators
and from Po lice Services. "The purpose of
what happened was in no way to make the
person from the corporation feel threatened.
The purpose was to make it clear that students
felt very strongly in opposition to [SodexoMarriott) bidding on the contract," he said.
He called the disguises "symbolic" and
said they represented "that we weren't
interested in dia logUing with the
corporation."

Offices outfitted with plush furniture
Rules broken in purchases for McGovern and Costantino
by Corey Pein
The college spen t over $15,000 on office
lilrniture tor two Vice Presidents, and in the
process violated ~ t ate spe nding regulations.
On two sepa rate occasions last year, the
co lle ge ordered furniture from a stateapproved vendor. The Bank & Office Interiors
company offered the co llege a large discount,
as state vendors often do. One order, totaling
$8,700. was discounted at least 51 percent.
The problem with these purchases was,
not all of the fi.lrniture ordered was covered
under the sta te contract. This means that by
law. the college should have so ught bids from
at least two other compa nies.
The college facilities department did not
do this when they placed the orders for Vice
Presidents Frank McGovern and Art
Costantino.
LastSeptember, Frank McGovern picked
out $6,500 worth ofupholstered and veneered
furniture for his office. McGovern is
Evergreen's Vice President of college
advancement, in part a fund raising position.
McGovern said that his job involves
co nvincing wealthy people to give their money

to the school. He explained that people are
more likely to give if the y feel comfortable in
their surroundings. "Rich people are different,
and they expect to be treated in a certain way,"
said McGovern.
Costan tino is the co ll ege's Vice President
of student affairs. His previous office furniture
had bern there since th e school first opened.
Costantino recounted that once, as a joke, staff
members strung yellow caution tape around
the dilap idated guest chair.
According to the college's Director of
facilities Michel George, Costantino's old
furniture had been repaired several times. On
the advice of George and others, Costantino
agreed to order new furniture rather than send
for repairs again.
"Art at first picked out stuff that was way
too expensive," said Geo rge. The facilities
department took over the order for
Costantino's office, and last November sent for
the $8,700 furniture set.
George's department placed the orders
for both Vice Presidents' offices. He said that
facilities considers many things when buying
furniture , such as how long the furniture will

last, how well it matches the re st of the
school's fi.1fl1iture, and how quickly it can be
delivered. Sa id George. "We do not go around
looking for expensive furniture."
Kathleen Haskett is Evergreen's
purchasing manager. The purchasing office
makes sure that when the schoo l buys
so mething, it complies with government
regulations. Oftentimes people on campus
who make purchase orders do not understand
the regulations.
Her office spends a lot of time
explaining.
"You don 't go with what YOll want, but
what you need." said Haskett. She made the
analogy that people sometimes look for a
Cadillac when they could get by with a Chevy.
McGovern's order, totaling $6,587.73 ,
was placed Sept. 5. 2000. Costantino's order
was placed Nov. 15,2000, and cost $8,729.20.
Bot h orders included items from the Cane
Creek line, which is not part of Bank & Office
Interiors' contract with Washington state for
the purposes ofhigher education.

The CPJ is a weird and wonderful world distantly

United Nations chairman, Jan
Pronk, ha s offered a set of
comprom ise proposals on the Kyoto
Protocol which are aimed at
persuading the US to rejoin the

39 ind ustrialized countries agree to

The compromise lies in the means by
which this goal will be met, such as

for gas emission since trees absorb

on the place of TESC in the spectrum of
hi g her ed u cat ion. What started as
history Jesson quickly developed into a
discourse on socia l philosophy, the
liberal arts and the ro le of education,
while remaining very clear and
in telligible. Perkins seems to be the kind
of person who blends intellectual
integ rity wit h relaxed ease, someo ne
who generates respect without
intellectual inti mida tion.
.

The Provos t/ Vice President in
d1arge of Academ ic Affairs is arguably
the m os t important ad mini stra tiv e
posi ti on on ca mpus so far as da il y
student life is concerned. The qua lity of
the co ll ege's academic programs, its
academic standards and the school's
accreditation, as well as faculty
eV(l lu ations, assessme nt of academi c
programs and management of th e
Library and the acade mic budgets all fall
under this office's management. With
that kind of responsibility, th e Provost
h as m o re effect o n the kind of
educa tional experience s tud e nts will
have than any other administrator at
Everg reen.
At the end of this school year, the
current provost, Barbara Smith, will be
retiring. The search committee tasked
with recommending her successor has
narrowed the field of applicants to five
ca ndidates, from whom the president
will have to choose. At the conclusion
of the process, the committee showed
no prefe rences and made no
recommendations as to which candidate
they preferred, stating that each had
their strengths and weaknesses, and that
any of them would be up to the task and
would have their support.
Video clips of the five finalists are
on the school's web site. You'll need Real
Audio® and Real coffee and whole lot
of Real time; each candidate's speech
runs upwards of an hour. If you are
interested in th e state o f hi g her
ed ucation and various philosophi ca l
approaches, it's worth checking out.
What I offer here is·a brief overview of
th e candida tes, along with my
impression based on the videotaped
speeches alone. The five finalists, in no
particular order are:

Favorite Quote: " 1 have felt very much
at home because of a coincidence of
philoso phy in the way that Evergreen
educates their students and works and
my own ambitions to be part of an
organization that functions like that."
Personal Observations: There is a certain
gravity about Enrique Riveros-Schafer
that engenders confidence. Despite this,
I sensed a certain d egree of humiljty in
him. It was obvious that he was
passiona te and articulate about the
future of ed uca tion and th e role of
technology in that future. He seemed to
understand the proble ms o f s ta te
fLmding and of working in faci lities that
are aging. He was frank and open and
offered specific observation about the
school which demonstrated a grasp of
the bigger picture-the school a~ whole.

Academic Discipline: Biology
Favorite Quote: "We (Evergreen) were
going to embrace a relen tless love affair
with skepticism and cri tical reasoning."
"We have to come up with new reasons
why public higher educa tion is worthy
of the s upport of the legislators, who
must tax their constituents to raise the
money to pay the bills. This is one of
the reasons why I think it would be
exci ting to be provost at this tim e,
because I think we do have a completely
new arena that we need to work on."

Academ ic Discipline: Philosophy

to be at his next

Dionysian orgiastic celebratlOn in the

stop by and help out at CPJ.

-EnriqueRiveros-Schafer

Favorite Quote: "The thin g that's
wonderful about Evergreen is th a t
you're not lac king in vision; you have it
here in volume. So it seems to me that
what Evergreen needs from a provost
is an advoca te for the collective vision
of the com muni ty, (l nd that's what I
wou ld have an inte rest in being."
Personal Observations: Grant Cornwell
is the most charisma tic and jovia l of the
cand idates; he a lso appea rs to be the
yo un ges t. His sty le seemed to be
ene rge ti c tlnd humorout>, if a bit
bombastic. He spoke g low ing ly of
Evergreen as being not on the fringes o f
higher ed uca tion bu t th e ' forefront.
When the subject came up during a
question and answer session, Cornwe ll
spoke at length on issues surroundin g
inte rcultura l emph ilsis and bravely
broached the s ubject of reaching ather,
less privi leged individuals who can' t
a fford the luxury of a liberal a rts
educ a tion as a form of " persona l
development" and must instead focus
on their workplace m a rke ta bility.

-JohnCushing
Academ ic Disc ipline: Psychology
Favorite Quote: " I personally believe that
providing opportunities for advanced
work to our students is, in fact, a greater
challenge for Evergreen than general
education. I said we probably could
address the ex ternal concerns about
general education without grea t structural
changes, although we might want to make
these for our own reasons. But 1 am less
certain that we can provide adequate
advanced work to out studen ts without
rethinking our curriculum and its
s tru ct ur e
Personal Observations: John Cushing is
one of two internal candidates in the final
five, having been at Evergreen for the past
25 years---first as a member of the faculty,
and more recently an academic dean. Less
charis matic than so me a nd more
businesslike, C ushing speaks in clear,

comprehensible terms. He was very
organi zed and well reasoned. It took
longer to "warm up" to Cushing than it
did with the more charismatic candidates.

-ChristineGrontkowski
Academic DiScip lin e: Philosophy.
Favorite Quote: "If [ani administrator is
not somehow involV(~d in the day-ta-day
teaching, that person looses touch too
quickly, and the worst thing that can
happen is for an administra tor to allow
himself or herself to become isolated."
Personal Observations: Of the five taped
speeches, Grontkowski's was the most
brief, almost off the cuff. I got very little
in the way of any "gut" feeling from her
remarks. She was open, and [ thought
honest, but distant. She is the only one of
the five with actual experience, as she is
currently the Provost / VP at Frostburg
State University in Maryland. Her talk
was more general, touching the coming
problems of funding, how that would
effect affirmative action, and also the
national shortage of teachers. She also
expressed the hope that she would be
able to continue to teach, if only to "sit
in"
on
occasion.
The choice of provost is probably the
most importa nt appointment the
President has had to make or will make
during his administration here. Whoever
fills the position will be instrumental in
the tone of the school for years to come.
Promoting from within is more likely to
lead to a smooth, predictable transition
and a high degree of continuity. Going
outside the college is an opportunity to
increase diversity and perspective; a most
difficult choice.
President Purce-the envelope, please?

many headlights they needed to

was a little strange."

Doug Makus,

"I don't like them. There's too
many of them. They didn't do
anything about the girls [who

Healing Touch (HT) is a type
of alte rnativ e healing which
comes from the ancient heilling
practice of la ying on of hands. It
is based on the fundamental
assumption that there is
universal life energy that sustains
all organisms.
The HT
practitioner utili zes th e flow from
the body's energy centers or
chakras and works with it to
balan ce and align the human
energy field .
Body, mind ,
emotion and sp irit are deeply
tou ched through thi s the rap e uti c
process . A form of HT ca lled
Therapeutic Touch has been used
very successfully by hospital
nurs es over the p as t 20 years and
i s now an ilccepted nur sing
he al in g technique.
Like man y bodywork
modalities, HT is not fully
understood. As we understand
it , a ll healing baS ically comes
from the person a lon e. A medical
practitioner can set a broken bone
back into alignment, but the body
itself finally heals the split. The
medicill practitioner simp l y
directs and facilitates the process.
HT is a comp lementary mode of
facilitilting the heilling process,
but it differs in thelt it works with
the human energy fields rather
th"n physicill processes. The goal
of HT is to billance and realign
the energy flow, e li minating
barriers to self-healing .
EveryonecanbenefitfromHT.
It is a safe and effective treatment
for a wide range of h ealth
conce rns . It is not a substi tute for
regular medi cal or psychological
care but is used in conjunction
with medical care to get the best
results. In the Student Health

Healing Touch practitioners go
through rigorou s trainin g. HT is
taught throu g h certificate courses
offered from Healing Touch
International in Colorado (visit
their
website
at
www.healingtouch.net).
All
budding practitioners must
comp lete a minimum of 20 hours
of

process involves] 00 hou rs of

Handouts that offer extra s upport

To the Editor,
I was profoundly saddened to see the
posters oncampus advertising last Saturday
night's benefit dailce for World News. The
neatly hand-written announcement ended
with the admonition, "Be there or be a
. retarded monster."
That kind of thoughtless behavior
diminishes every member of this
community, and not just the
developmentally disabled. At Evergreen, we
pride ourselves on being cutting edge in
considering issues of cultural diversity, I
suggest we expand our consciousness to
include the developmentally disabled.
Whoever wrote that reckless comment
owes us all an apology, It's time to dean up
our language and heighten our awareness
and sensitivity to all forms of difference,

Fragrance-Free
Workplace?
By E. Rust: Ndsun

We've all seellt he signs on campus. You'rc
110t >Llpposed to wear perfume or sce nt ed
products on campus. People have sens itivities
to them. I don't mean to be unsympathetic on
this subj ect, but my a ll-natural. halldmade
perfume, custom designed for me by a friend , is
far morc hospitable than people walking arouild
reeking ofBO or cigarette smoke, and even so, I
use it sparingly wh en at all. Many of the people
who ignore th e rules wear vast amount s
to
me at least, unpalatable scent s-patchouli ,
musk, and sandalwood.
We ca nnot force people to bathe. I admit
th is at the outset.
However, I find th e
overpowering stench of
human body odor
offensive. I ullders tand
if you don't have tim e
for a bath once in a
while. but if you are
co nstantl y filthy, you
are a heal th hazard .
One of the reasons that
modern industrialized nati ons are far l e~,
disease-ridden than Third World nation s or
medieval Europe is basic hygi ene . Th e Middle
Ages were known as a thousand years without a
bath (beill g lIaked, even ju,t to yo urse lf~ wa~ a
sin). and we all kn ow t he co nsequen ces. I co uld
enumerate the diseases thll' 'pread. but the
most famou~ is the bubonic plaguc-spread b)

habits. Had Europe bat hed morese\'ell hUlldred

come up with them died of plague. Who kno\l s
how far humanity might have go ne by now?
(Does anyone ebe find it ironic that some of th e
tl l thie~t people on campus ca ll the cops pigs?)
Many people are extremely sensitive to
l'IWJ retle ,mokc. I am one of th em. I kllell' a
\\,;Hnan who was extraordinarily sensiti ve- if
ol'erexposed to it , she got lIligraille, ~o ~everl'
that she had to go to the emergency roOIll for

occur red to me th at YO ll have a ll
undoubt ed ly fig ured that out and filled it
away in your minds und er "t hill gs to
beco me deeply co nrer ned by when I no
longe r have my ow n life to liv e." I a lso
realized th at if I didn't alr eady kn ow th at,'
I wou ldn't be so upset. So let us turn our
atte ntI on away from the front page of my
Su nd ay paper, and instead exp lore an iss ue
suggested by Miss Man ners!
Yes. I do read Miss Manners, and she's
funllier thall 90% of prime time television.
I a lw ays enjoy people wi ll ing to defend
obv ious ly inaccurate or ana chro ni st ic ideas
in print , and if th ey' ll refer to themselves
in the t hird pe rson, th en sq mu ch the
be tt er. I get th e same rus h of gllilt y
plras ur e from such writ in g that most of
Amer ica gets frolll Fox's "Boot Ca mp. " At
an)' rate , in a poorly cons tru cted tir ade
abo ut how gauc he gift registries are, she
me llti oned that she was tired of hearillg
people co mpl ain abo ut gues ts usin g their
things as th ey were mea nt to be us ed, like
wa lking on carpe ts whi le wearing shoes.

This made me think abo ut the interesting'
iss ue of our relationship to stuff.
I should begin by saying I am not ant istuff. I am against i ndis c rimin a te
ac cumulation , mostly bec ause that makes
it diffi cult to appreciate your good stuff. I
am against acqu iring for the sake of
acquisi tion, but not if ownership in itse lf
makes you truly joyful. I believe t hat ifstuff
makes you happy wit hout dama gin g
anybody, you should indulge your desire
for that stuff. However, my comparatively
materialistic attitude doe s not prevent me
from being confused b y our cultur al
attitudes' toward stuff. I'm not talkin g
about the grand questions of wheth er our
country sold its so ul for DVD players, or if
the American family is in jeopardy be{'ause
of the American mortgage , so much as the
ways we interact with stuff in our lives.
There's quite a bit about th e wa y we
relate to things that's confusing, but what
I really don't understand is the int ens e
emotional attachments we form. I did say
"we" th ere, and I meant it. I have a more

co mplex and emo tion al relationsh ip with
Illy books th an with some member s of my
fam il)" and I don't know wh y. My lib rary
rep resents a signifi ca nt inv estme nt in tim e
and money, but that do es n't ex pl ain my
p,lss ionat c attachment to it. Other people
feel th e sa me way about cars, photographs,
jcwel ry, alld things I can't imagine
regardill g with any thin g less than loathin g.
So metimes, as Miss Manners pointed out,
tha t feeling reache s the point where we love
our s tuff for ex isti ng, rath er than for
preform in g it s fun cti on. Doesn't th at ever
st rike you as odd ?
Is it territorial? Are we still acquisit ive
beca us e our s pec ies sta rt ed out
scave ll gin g? Is it some psychological dev ice
that we use to distract ourse lves from our
morta li ty or so methin g? Did we beg in by
adm'iring t hings we mad e our se lves, mov e
on to being pleased by th ings we earned ,
and eve ntu all y feel for most objects we
particularly enj oy? Periodically you hear
so meo ll e talkin g about "rea lizin g what's
really important" after some minor

di sas ter reminds them that what they
really care about is their well-being and
that of the people they love. I always
wonder how they managed to forget . I
mean, doe sn 't that seem like a fairly ba sic
and esse ntial fact? How can we live our
lives aro und it? Why aren't we extinct yet?
I have no a nswer s, of course, so I will leave
you with these questions and (if I'm lucky)
a vague sense of unease, and go finish my
newspap er. Have a good week.
AJ.~o: Not enough of you are
submitting to Slightly West's spring issue.
I know thi s because they are soliciting
submi ss ions from me. Their office is in the
nest of cubicl es on the third floor of the

inclinations s hould put your phon e

I have a question for all you
Evergreen s tudents out there:
where is your sense of school
pride when it comes to sports? As
I go to different sporting events
that we have teams for, I see one
thing lacking consistently across
the board ... fans.
The men's ba s ketball te am
did generate a small fan base, but
what about the rest of the teams?
The men's tennis team has the
most wins they have ever had,
yet the area around the games is
nearly empty. The new crew team
is taking third and second place
finishes consis tently in this, their
first year, yet there are few
people that aren't rowers on the
s idelines yelling. The men 's and
women's soccer teams had few
people watching them as well.
This is not to belittle those of
you that have been going to
matches; this is an entreaty to all
those students who would rather
go hang out or watch TV. Come
out and see what your peers are
doing . See how Evergreen
players are striving to win . The
s upport that fans generate
bolsters a tea m to new levels. One
of the few times the men 's soccer
team had full s tands, they played
one of their bes t games. When the
men's ba s ketball team had a full
crowd, they played excellent
ba s ketball. What could the tennis
team .accompli sh in the playoffs
if they had the s upport of a
hundred Evergreen fans? How
about ten?
I understand that getting to
events can be a problem , but
there are ways around that.
Evergreen has a motor pool full
of vans; th e teams might have
ex tra room; maybe your friend
wants to drive - there are ways to
get where you want to go. Think
of
the
inspiration
your
clas s mates would get if a van
load of Greeners piled out,
chanting and beating on drum s.
The potential for Evergreen
tea ms to be s u ccess ful is th e re
across the board ; perhap s so m e
s upport is a ll th ey need ....
If yo u a r e int e re s ted in
ge ttin g to a spec ifi c event and a re
h av in g problems ge ttin g th e re, or
you want to know mor e a b o ut
who is playing when a nd where,

THE INTERVIEWS: MIKE SAFFORD JR.
by Shasta Sm ith

I'm talking with Mike Safford Jr.,
the sports information director and
assistant tennis coach.
CPJ: So, Mike, could you tell me a
little bit a bout your job here at
campus?
Mike: Originally, I landed a job as
radio broadca s ter for Evergreen
basketball, and when 1 got here, it
was evident that they had no one
doing sports information work.
There were no stats provided for me
before games. I knew no bio
information on any of the players,
and I approached former athletic
director Pete Stie lberg - and I know
you were here when Pete was still
around - about doing some sports
information work, and I basically
acted as an SID for the first year, and
last year Mike Segawa, the interim
A.D. said, "Mike, do you want to be
our SID and have the official title?"
and I said yes, and we rolled the ball
from there.
CPJ : In the last couple years that
you've been the sports information
director, what are some of the trends
you've seen as far as the teams?
Mike: Well, there's a good side and
there's a bad side. A trend 1 can see
is that everyone's positive. Whether
the teams win, whether the teams
lose, the attitudes of the players,
coaches, and the administration has
been positive. The negative side is
the win-loss records haven.'t been
what I think the coaches or players
want the m to be. But for me as a
writer, it's always eas ier to write
after a win, but you can always find
things to write after a loss as well,
trying to focus on one or two points
that, no matter if a team got blown
out, there's some thing good that
transpired during that time.
CPJ: How is the sports information
director's office evolving?
Mike: I t hink it's evolving rea l we ll.
One thin.g that 1 kind of wi s h we had
more was funding to try to do the
things we like to do. I do a lo t of m y
ow n fundraising to put o ut med ia
books a nd programs a nd things of
th at n ature, but it 's bas ic. Even
though the things look grea t and ge t
the info rm at ion o ut , it' s a bare
minimum . At PLU, we had a budget
of $40,000 to wo rk with. Here, I have
$3,000. I know there arc a lot of
things that I cou ld do if I had a bit
more money. 1 know that the state
isn't there to give me that money, so
I have to find ways to fundra ise to
get that money. Hopefully, as th e
years progress, we will be able to put
out glossy covers on all publications
for socce r and for sw imming, and
that we can better promote teams
and recruiting through these books,
which will look a lot be tter than they
do right now.

coach Bill Benton has been in the
office as the year has progressed,
working on web page design, and
working on a little bit of sports
journalism . But if there is a student
who wants to become an intern,
come in and contact Jeanette Parent,
the associate athletic director. What
we' re looking for is a student who is
associated with and passionate
about sports, not afraid to work lots
of hours, not afraid to be a stats
freak, to go in and understand what
volleyball stat istics are, soccer
statist ics are, basketball statistics,
learn a little bit about web page
design, and la stly, to become a good
writer and to know that you'r e
gonna have to do a lot of grunt work.
When [ was an intern at PLU, every
Monday [ had to come in and fold
. envelopes for two hours, put stickers
in them, stuff them, and fold them.
It doesn't sound like fun work, but
by the time [ was done, I got to learn
what was needed to do to be an SID,
and now ['m on the other side of the
desk; now ['m telling people to stuff
envelopes for two and a half hOllrs,
and they don't realize the benefits of
it. Down the road, they will, if they
realize that this is the profession they
want to be in .
CPJ: Could you talk a little bit about
being an assistant coach for tennis?
Mike: It's been a difficult transition
for me . I didn't really have a lot of
tennis background coming into this
season. Being in media relations, you
have to have a broad spectrum of
knowledge in sports, and [ knew a
lot a bou t ten nis, but there's a
difference between knowing tennis
and coaching tennis. And I did a lot
of research during the offseason after
Coach Harden talked to me about
being an assistant, learned some of
th e fundamental things that you
have to teach the kids and then also
used some of my background in
some coaching classes that I took
wh ile I was an undergrad uate to be
ab le to convert that to the kids, and
they've been real rece ptive of a lot
of the things that I've g ive n them .
C PJ :Now that te nni s ha s its b est
reco rd eve r, what's been your ro le?

CPJ: Is there an opportunity for a
student to intern at the sports
information director's office?

Mike: Speed y van driver. Actually,
o ne of m y bi gges t rol es is
motivation, tr ying to keep g u ys a nd
ga ls positive. With o ur women, we
have n't had a great year. Our
numbers are down. But those peopl e
that come to practice, I call it the putup ga me that the affirmations are
there so that they can feel good about
themselves. And with the guy s ,
we've had a good record, but late ly,
things haven' t been going the way
we want them to, and trying to keep
the guys focused on, "Hey, we' re
playing real good tennis," even
though it's not that wayan the
score board; hopefully, this week,
with regionals coming up and with
games against Seattle U. and Green
River and such, we can get ourselves
on. track so we can make a splash in
Lewiston.

Mike: There has been in the past.
This year, our assistant basketball

CPJ: What do you think is going to
happen in the playoffs this year? I

April 19, 200 1 ~ 15 • Cooper Point Journ~

know our team advances in the
playoffs instead of individual
players. [s this going to hurt
Evergreen in any way?
Mike: Definitely. Whether it was an
individual event or a team event, I
think we would still be behind th e
eight ball. Lewis-Clark State ranked
eighth nationally, and the men's sid!:'
is just a phenomenal team . The y
showed us, they put the hammer
down on us this past weekend over
there. It was hard to handle when we
see just how good they really are. But
we have an opportunity to do
something we have never done in
school history, and that is to win a
match at regionals, whether it's a
men's side, whether it's an
individual match or a team match.
[f things go the way they are
scheduled right now, we play Seattle
U, and if we win that, we're
guaranteed two more matches . To be
able to play on Saturday for a seed
higher than 5 or 6 would be
phenomenal; it would be a testament
to all the hard work the guys have
put in out there this year.
CPJ: So regardless of the outcome
this weekend, are you still going to
be playing Seattle U?
Mike: What it comes down to is that
each of the coaches in our region there are six teams in our region submits a top six ranking, and the
regional director, who actually is
myself, will figure out who voted
where : the top team gets six points,
and the bottom team gets one, and
we'll see what happens . If we beat
Seattle therE' will be no way they can
vote us any lower than four or five.
CPJ: So, r know Rick Harden is going
to be moving on next season; do you
see yourself moving on to head coach
for tennis, or would you stay as an
assistant, or would you help with the
process of finding a new coach?
Mike : That' s a difficult question,
because I know a lot of that process is
out of my hands. We' ve been told by
Dave Webber, our athletic director,
that tennis is goin g to be around nex t
year, and knowing Rick is going to be
leav ing this season - it puts me in a
difficult position, not having a great
te nni s background , but having
enough background, knowing that I
co uld coach this tea m, and knowing
that I think the guys and ga ls would
re's pect me as a coach. I would like to
do so, but there's a lot of hoops and
bells a nd whistles I have to go through
before that would happen. I know
there would have to be a search
committee, and 1 know there's a lot of
people out there who are a lot more
qualified than [ am; however, if this
year is any say about it, I think we can
do bigger and better things in the
future .
CPJ:AlI right, well, thanks Mike
Mike: I appreciate it, Shasta, and 1
want to say hi to my wife Liza, who's
probably reading the CPJ right now
and laughing every minute of it.
CPJ:Thank you.

WOMEN'S
RUGBY

ULTIMATE FRISBEE
pholO' by Adam Louie

by Parrick Ken n y

b y Mark Harper

The women's rugby team has
been training hard si nce January
to prepare for their first match.
They have made great progress
sir)ce those first days and feel that
they are ready for a game.
However, there is still one
obstacle in their way: they do not
hav e a full squad . They need 15
girls, and they on ly have 12.
If you're a n active girl, and
you have been thinkin g of
p laying a sport, cons id er rugby.
They welcome anyone who is
willing, fun loving, and ath le ti c.
You do not need any prior
experience. To give y ou an idea
of how great of a sport it can be,
one team member made the
comment th at it was th e first
sport that she ha s enjoyed
playing in a lon g time. Practice is
on Sunday at o n e p.m. and
Wednesday at three p.m. Come
check it out.

On Monday the 16th, a dozen
people gathered on the field in
front of the HCC for a game of
Ultimate Frisbee. Games are
regularly held Mondays and
Wednesdays at s i x p.m. The
games are played until the first
team scores nine points. As of yet
there is no official team that plays
other colleges, but one player
sa id of the other team, "The light
team had j I together. You could
tell they had been playing
together for a while." Dur in g the
course of play that team would
ye ll plays lik e "Clock Tower !"
and" Pavi lion!"
Anyone is welcome to these
games. All you have to do is show
up. The turnout on Monday was
moderate, as it is the beginning
of the seaso n, and many people
are s till getting used to being
outside. But as the frequency of
nice days increases, hopefully
more people will turn out and an
intercollegiate club team can be
created. For now all you have to
do is s how up on the field at 6
p.m.
on
Mondays
and
Wednesdays.
