Organic Design Blends Nature with Progress
By Tunl<:
There ~re many place~ to hide on campus.
There are quiet comers in the bookish dark ofthe
library. the stairwell in the Lab II building where
echoes travel for three floors and. on a good day,
the tllird floor of the CAB building by the back
windows. These provide a brief break from the
hustle and bustle ofiectures. class meetings and
side projects. One fine place 011 c~mptls will soon

The ovcralilook ofthe new bllilding lits well
with the rest ofthe buildings all campus except for
one major ditference. lnstead ofone large building,
it has five "clusters." or separate buildings, that are
easily containable. Each cluster has office space,
class space and common areas for students to
gather. Each cluster is a separate building with it s
own speCia l purpose (one has a built-in coffee
stand. one provides space for part time stlldies, one
hasa large performance room. elc.). and together,
they comprise a whole new k1cility for students on
campus.
Having fivese parateclusters isan advantage.
If there is only one room that is to be used for an
evening class or event. only one cluster has to be .
lit. Thi, reduces th e power wasted on heating and
lighting.
Each of th e clusters is co nnected by covered
w:Jlkways. and alloflhestairwclbareoutside. This
ehinina tes the need to heat and coo i empty
hallways and st~inl'e lls. These areas are lit . though.

Even th ough most of the ex isting flora is
going to be removed. the design of the building
incorporates areason the rooftops that are lIsed to
grow wi ltl grass. This makes use of most of th e
rainwater that falls on the building. Wh,jtever is

impact the environment as much as it docs with
the existing bUildings.
Wa ler me inside the buildings will be
reduced 3' well. There will be "no·flow"urinal~ in
lhe men's res troolll s and movement ~ensiti\'e
fa ucets in all of the res troom~ . Users aclivate the
fancets when they pass their hand,sJn front of the
fixture. This will reduce wasted water from those
that leave the faucets on when they leave the
bathroom and will solve the problem of knobs
that don'ttum the water all the way off. This also
helps preventthespreadofdisease, because users
will not have to turn the knobs with unsanitary
hands.
There is no cooling system in place in the
building. Opening a window or opening a vent
just below the window controls temperature in
tlte rooms. The building has large, smokestack·
type structures in the middle ofeach cluster. Air
flows in either from an open window or a vent
below each window. It then travels through a veJ)t
above th e door or through the open door. From
here, it passes through a vent that leads to Ihe
smokestack. which leads back outside .
Employingbasicprinciplesofphysics, lhehotair
rises up and out of th e smokestack, and in so
rloing, pulls cooler air in from outside.
In the winter, users ha\'e the options of
closing. the windows and allowing the air that
comes in the vent to pass over a radiater directly
in front of the vent. This provides airflow as well
as heal.
As this week's publication is being
prepared. no one is certain if the bUilding, in its
original design , will be buill . The House and the
Senate have not agreed upon a budget for the
next two years. Theyhavemetoncealr~adyfora

~rhednled to Illeet agaill for up to 30 day~. 'Th i~
time, il is hoped. a budget will be decided and
the college will find out if their Seminar II plans
will come to fruition, but nothing is del1nite.
There is much more information available
for those that are curious. There is information
acce~~ib l e from Evergreen's web page. and there
will be updates on the progress here in the CPJ,

This week's blotter need s no
introduction.
On with the mildness ...
Monday. May 21
12:58 p.m.
Going 42 miles an hour
in a 35 mile zone gets one driver ,lne, ted
for speeding. His lack of a dri\'cr's license
doesn't help, either.
An officer responds to .l
5:29 p .m .
first aid cilll for a person with a dislocated
thumb. He states that he was "on his
skateboard behind ~ UPS truck and the
truck s topped abrupUy in front of him on
purpose." The cop becomes co ncerned
and asks for witness statements. However,
the story shifts whL'll two of Ule s tatements
SilY that the boarder grabbed onto the back
of the UPS truck. Police contilc t the driver,
w ho confirms that he discovered someone
hanging onto the back of his truck and
stopped. He left bec,lLlse the person "was
ba!=k up on hi s s kateboard ;md moving."
Later on, he give' a morl' cflmpletp
~ tatement imd r~veal ~ that he hcl ~ been
suspe nded from hi ~ job pending this
investigatiun. More investigation ensues,
including ,1 look at L1lL' mounted C<lmer<l
inside the truck. When the officer goes
back to talk to the victim, he statrs L1lat he
ju~ t willlted medical help, not to report a
crime. Ultimately things are cleared up, no
chllrges are presscd, and the report ends
with the bOilrder stating "he does not want
the driver to get trouble over this since it
was his actions that started the whok
thing."
7:48 p.m.
A duwn"d tree on Ule
power lines sen ds off sparks and catches
fire . The drama is stopped short when the
electric company "cut the downed tree."

its sweet rays across campus, another

why it's still here.
_
9:55 a.m .
An officer is di spatched
to Red Squ~re after police rece ive a report
of a man wn lking ~round naked on Red
Square. The cop gets there and it turns o ut
it's actuaUy a woman . He approaches her
and asks why she is naked. She st<ltes that
she is in the clothes s he was born with .
W hen he ;1sks for his la s t name, ,he
hesitate", "giving the ,1ppl'ilranCe tha t she
hod tt) think of il last name."
Whil .. 11(' checks her info , s he
apparl'n tl y gr<1bs "for a large walking
sti ck" ncar her. He asks her to let it go, she
says no, ,md he proceeds to "f'lf'Cibly pull
it ou t of her hands." He continues to ta lk
with her, asking at onc point if she is on
drugs or medication, and Worms her that
she cannot be wit hout h e r clot hi ng.
E\,iden tl y, her reply to this is to run from
the scene. He decides not to chase her, since
"A t this time I fel t I recognized her we ll
enough to identify her." However, he did
follow her tr<lil and <lsked several people
if they h,ld seen il n'l\..ed 1V0man in the
area . Some peop le had and pointed him
in the righ t direction.
Things escalate wlll'n the cop wmcs

woman ran by their loca tion into the
woods. He is unable to find her, hllWl'Ver.
He st(l ~)S by her apartml'nt but , he is not

At 10 p.m. that night, two offiL'er~ go
by til<' op.1rtmmt again. Tlli, time, , he is
home, and Uley meet her at the door. They
tell her that they are there to ilrrc~t her lor
the incident, to which she replie~ th'lt "she
did nothing wrong and that there wa,
nothing wrong with being naked ."
}\ ccorlling to till' report, ,he proceeds to
pull her dress over her head ,lJld expose
her body. She docs it ag,lin, after he tells
hL'r it 's illegnl to run around in public
naked . She then re;.punds " that it i,
be<lutiful to be naked, everyune is naked,
you're naked under your uniform , he is
naked under his uniform ." And then ,he
raises her dress again.
This docs not amu se the cops, who

Quid is the night and silent is the campus.
2:15 p.m.
The officer preparing
thi s report was advised "that a g la ss
s moking pipe was found on the back seat
of the 1997 patrol vehicle. It was found
while .th e back sea t was removed by
o utside contractors who were installing a
new police tadio. It was located under the
seat making it impossible to be located
through a normal vehicle inspection. The
pipe did contain some residue that
appeilred to be marijuana."

Something occurs that is
cryptically noted as a "vehicle accident."

- A report lea ked from thl'
European Parliament lil s t week
reveals that "Eche lon," a cover t
electronic spy in g network run by the
U.s. with the assistance of the U.K.,
Canada, New Zealand, and Austrillia,
is a reality, desp ite years of denial s
from u.s. government officials. The
e lectronic surveillance system, which
intercepts millions of faxes, e-mails
and phone calls daily, is apparently
capable of maintaining a database of
more than 5 trillion pages of tex t
(several hundred pages for every
person on the planet) . Echelon is
known to collect data on potentially
subversive activities by spotting key
words and phrases, even when
presented out of context. The
European
Union,
following
allegations that the u.s. had given
information
on
European
corpora tions to U.s. businesses in
order to give them advantages
abroad, ini tiated the investiga lion,
although the report was unable to
substantiate these allegations. The
investigators from the European
Parliament reported great difficulty in
investigating Echelon, as the CIA and
U.S. National Security Agency
refused to meet with investigators.

graduating and moving on, itis time
to rejoice, to celebrate what has been
accomplished and look forward to
where we are going. Looking back
on this last school year, there are
many sporlsmomenls that stand out
in my mind. 1. Soccer ending 0-18.
This is actually an anti-highlight; we
couldn't quite win. 2. Women's
soccer going to the playoffs. rt was
great to see the women rewarded for
their efforts. 3. Team Evergreen Kung
Fu winning at the World
Championships ofSport Karate. The
victories are a tribute to the training
we received for the past four years.
4. Watd1ing Trelton Spencer in his
fi.nal year at Evergreen and Andre
Stewart's first year; they seemed to
score at willS. Seeing the crew team
do so well in Uleir first year. 6.

lightweight fighter in the world right
before Jesse f-1arter knocked out two
more fighters.
I don't know what will follow
in the coming years, but this year has
seta new markofexcel1mce for what
teams can accomplish. I hope that
the inlpact of awareness that the
sports covernge this year has created
will continue, that ongoing sports
coverage will gjve the players the
recognition that they deserve. One
thing that will help is fans.The I:eanls
need more fans to come out to
games. Make yourselfheard. It is the
greatest feeling in the world for an
athlete to win a ~e in front of
hundreds of screaming fans. Watch
for continued sports coverage next
year.

Our production of The Good Person of
Szechwan attempts to recapture the
quintessential spirit of Brechtian theater:
discussing politics through fun and humor,
and seeking the pure and beautiful via
pictures of the base and ugly. While Brecht
the writer was unquestionably driven by the
political and economic concerns of his time,
his plays challenge and puzzle the audience
by peering into ambiguiti~s and questioning
the unanswerable. Pursuing a prevailing
Brechtian theme, The Good Person of

Error. What do all these things have
in cOIl)II\on? Well, essentially they are
all things you doh't want to h ear
when trying to get in a class, and they
are also simple two-word phrases that
can pretty much ruin your day--()r
your Fall quarter, depending on your
situation.
This is what it all comes down
to. Registration sucks. I hate it. I hate
trying to get into a class that seems
ideal for me, and then ending up wi th
mv third choice or some random class
that was on the right page of the
course catalogue at the right time. I
am baffled by the inadequacies of the
setup of registration and classes here
as well as the way that class spaces
are allotted. In a school with a huge
media loan service at our disposal,
there are hardly any media classes
available to students. If you are lucky
enough to find a class that seems
tailored to your academic needs, then
you must also hope that you are lucky
enough to have the computer on your
side so that it will allocate an early
registration time. Needless to say, this
is often times not the case. Basically,
there's not much to do other than suck
itup, lean back in your chair and listen
to the new Weezer album. But that's
only a fleeting assuagement; you still
have next year to worry about.
Maybe, if you're lucky, you'll end up
in a science class full of kids who
wanted to take an art class or a poetry
class full of future filmm akers, and
you will find a common bond in the
fact that you have all been thwarted
in your quest to immerse yourself in
what you're passionate about.
Sometimes, I think Evergreen
works best with people who have no
idea what they're doing with
themselves but remain willing to try
and figure it out. Which is probably
how would describe myself. But what
if, through some divine intervention,
I actually figure out what I want to
do with myself? r really hope that I
can stay at Evergreen and nurture my
true calling through interaction with
professors and students at the same
time. I don't know; for now, I'm going
to listen to Weezer and smoke a
cigarette, and I guess we'll just see
where I end up in September.

Well, las t time, YOll remember,
had fixated on some logicil l
inaccu ra cies and a rgumentil ti ve
weaknesses in th e (lon tent of il flier
wh ich ha s been posted lib erillly
around campus. This flier cl~k s,
" Why Loot the Deli? " ilnd provides
a rather biased li s t of " pros " ilnd
"cons." When we left off, I was
tearing the arg ume nts mad e in said
flier into sma ll pieces and flossing
my teeth with them . I did this not
out of vic ious ness , but because it
upsets me when someo ne has
so mething to say and goes to the
trouble of saying it but does not
make sure that their arguments arc
clear and capab le of s tand ing
against dissension and criticism. It' s
sloppy and di s respe c tful. In the
mids t of my nit-p icking, I thanked
the unknown author who produced
the flier for caring and contributing,
and I thank you again. I s uggest that
you might co nsider writing an
editorial for the CPJ so that you

I am continuing my critique of your
work, becaus e T regularly see
Greeners express very strong
feelings on important topics which
do not hold up under logical

Fifth: It's Fun And Exciting.
This is, I suppose, a matter of
persona~ taste, but my childhood
experimen ts with theft left me
feeling weak, guilty and sick to my
stomach. I discovered several years
later that Wicca holds' that a witch
should not steal, in part because it
hurts other people, but also because
it hurts her. To steal, the argument
goes, is to admit an inability to care
for yourself on your own. To admit
that too many times makes it true,
at least in your mind, which makes
stealing inevitable. This idea
resonated with me. Perhaps stealing
from the Deli is admitting our
inability to deal with corporate
America in a' legitimate, adult and
ultimately effective way. Doing so
too often might make us spoiled
college kids who are wearing
dreadlocks and whining about
capitalism to bother our parents. I
think we can do better than that.
