Decisions Made Without Students

Budget Cuts Jeopardize
Officials Too Busy t6 Inform; Students Too Busy to Ask All Areas of Academics
r Chris Mu!8/[v
_
fiv

A

t a time when students may lo se
their jobs and a variety of Evergreen
se rvices such as campus security and
academic advis ing, administrators, staff
and students agree that students need to be
informed about the proposed decisions that
will affect their academic experie nce.
The problem is that administrators don't
have enough time to explain proposed decisions that will affect students. And students
don't have enough time to research how
those decisions may affect them directly.
Art Costantino, the vice president for
student affairs, advertises many meetings
ro inform srudents about administrative
act ivi ties. He's the person who talks to
s tudents with grievance questions and
oversees services that directly affect studenrs,
like Academic Advising, Financial Aid,
Police Services and the Health Center.

Tell Administrators What You
Think About Cuts and Tuition

Every area of the co ll ege will be affected by the c uts , and th e college might

guy starred punching people," When t he
police officer on duty went to look for
the suspect, the victims left the scene , and
it was discovered that he (the s uspect)
had left via the window about a minute
prior to the officer looking for him . If

In 1873, the Comstock law was passed .
This law prevented me mailing of "obscene,
lewd and lascivious books, " It also made
it illegal to mail a nything "des ign ed or
intended for the prevention of conception
or procuring of abortion. " This law also
prompted other states to make their ow n
laws. In Ohio, it was made unlawful
to distribute publication s focused o n
"criminal news o r police reports . acco unt,
stories of deeds of lust, imm o ral ity, o r
crime."

"Co ntamination in rhe

B'lade II Review

Alamos Sonora,

W

ith the .quarter winding down and my time here in Mexico getting
short. 1 have been thinking abour the trip as a whole and what
I'll take away from this place, not just the plants and animals
we've been studying, but the larger, more intrinsic, less tangible things.
I wish rhere were words to describe the joy and strength and love I was
privileged ro wirness here.
I received an e-mail the other day from a friend who said in essence,
"Mexico is okay, 1 guess, but I've seen enough of it." I thought that was
strange. How could anyone not love this place? The people are patient,
relaxed and so generous, the architecture is beautiful, the food is delicious
and the birds, the Aowers l When I stopped to think of the border towns,
the crowded cities and rhe tourisr traps. 1 srarted to realize that my Mexico
isn't the one my friend knew. When I thought a littl e more about the
difference between the two perspectives I kept coming back to one thing:
the people I've met here.
I mentioned in last week's dispatch that the group hiked/rode up to a
high valley in the Sie rra Madres and lived with Ruben Alverez on his ranch.
Ruben has become a true friend to each one of us. He is an individual of
impeccable character and radiant, genuine joy. He invited all of us to atrend
a wedding reception for his nephew this past week. In a small town like this
not much happens, and while I'm getting used to people staring at me, it's
a little different when you show up at a big fiesta. 1 mighr be reading too
much inco it, bur with so many pretry young ladies in their finest dresses
there, 1 found the stares of rhe matronly women particularly piercing.
Then Ruben waded toward us through the crowd (it seemed like the

ndrew Cochran's article of Feb. 28, 2002 ("Students Pay for KAOS Antenna"), while informative,
was riddled with inaccuracies and omissions. Firstly, while S&A fces did pay some of the cost
of the new ser-up, most of the money was provided by thc Federal Government, in the form of
a grant. Secondly, Andrew misstates the facts when he asserts, "Wirh the addition of the antenna, rhe
number of potential listeners reached will grow quite a bit, while opportunities to students will remain
the same." While it is true enough rhat KAOS' potential audience is increasing, it is my understanding
that the next schedu led radio rrainings will be primarily or only for students.
The board of trustees and Evergreen/KAOS administrators had a most enlightening dialogue at
the last board of trustees meeting. Among the subjects proffered were: less alternative programming,
"incremental change," increased utilization ofKAOS for the Co llege PR and Athletics Departments, as
well as just generally making KAOS an instrument of the trustees/administration ("Deem it so, and it
shall be done"). Needless to say, no olle from Evergreen bothered to inform the rest of us of their plans
and ideas. To read the entire transcript for yourself, just go to www.morelater.com/kaos.
So, if students are now being offered increased participation in KAOS, an obvious question comes
to mind: Will students be free ro participate on their own terms, to speak in their own voice, or will
they get the cha nce to work, for free, on somebody else's agenda? The first hint of an answer is found
on the door ofKAOS itself. There, a sign invites participation in shows in the following areas: 1) News
2) Public Affairs 3) Folk 4) World 5) Jazz. Thus, student applicants are bent and molded to fit into a
pre-existing agenda, rather than empowered ro follow rheir own insrincts and passions. Is this how the
Administrarion defines student participation?
Apparently so, for if the student dollar expended really justified a proportional student voice in
how those funds are utilized, I dare say we would see major changes in the policies of S&A as a
whole. The current system, in which funds are managed in the name of the student body, through
a pre-defined process which is only nominally democratic, would seem 1'0 merit equal anenlion.
Alas, it apparently does not.
So, till we all have direct control of the instirurions which manage our lives, it behooves us all to
think .outside [he box, to question dichotomies like "community vs. student," and most important,
to II1Slst that those 111 power accede us such oft-quoted ideals as openness , respect, accountabiliry, and
the freedom of authentic self-representation.

lesson the Figueroas gave me: family is everyth ing.
When I lived in Texas I never liked the role to which Mexicans and
Mexican-Americans were relegated. They were third class people: dish~ashers
and gardeners in the ciry, fruir-pickers in the fields. The year I moved
to Dallas several men died tarring a roof in 100-plus degree hear. All of
them were Mexican-Americans.
I spent an hour or more with a man, I don't think I'll say who exactly.
He had "picked up a bit of English" working in the U.S. The conve rsation
wavered back and forrh between the languages and rhe two worlds. He rold
me that he would spend three or four monchs at a time working in the
States to make enough to keep his family together and healthy. The people
he worked for wouldn't help him get the papers he needed to work in rhe
U.S. legally, so he went without them.
As we were talking his three daughters came up and took rhe guitar from
his hands and tried ro play like Papa and asked him to play for them. I saw
the pride and love in his eyes. Jr was a simple day, nothing special. some food,
a little music, some volleyball and time, time together. I understood him
better rhan any of his English or my Spanish could ever express.
I've heard that "no point of refuge comes but al the price of some

t'S been a rough winter at Evergreen, w say the, least. People disappeari and dying, meaningless
wars connnue to be fought, corporanons can t manage our money or their money, people are
sick left and right, the weather sucks (not last week, bur in general), budgets are cut and tuition
increases. What the hell is going on?
Well , one thing's for sure. I'll be moving OUt of this nationalistic country that is more obsessed
with prisons, military, and corporate welfare than education, homelessness and hunger. The U.S . is
on the brink of fascism, and as soon as I have that wonderful status symbol called a degree, I'm outta
here. I was thinking Canada, Amsterdam, Switzerland, or someplace warm where the food 's good,
the women are beautiful, and I don't have ro pay taxes. This was one of the first realizarions I had
after a long week of being sick with that damn sore throat everyone's been getting (the Evergreen

I see Evergreen and Olympia as a wonderful communiry that nurtures, empowers, and inspires people
and helps them grOl~ spiritually and creativel y. Behind rhe rain, the por clouds, and the underlying
apathy arc rainbows, smiling faces, awesome clouds, nature trails to get lost on or find yourself in, Jnd
a sense of independence with a striving for unity. Maybe this is JUSt what "the bubble" has done to me.
I'm no more of an idealist than I used to be, but I haven't lost hope. Still, 1 never used to sound thi,dare I say-fruity or happy, and boy have I gotten in touch with my feminine side. I almost feeilike it

But jmr when YOll think that there
~ou ldn 't be any more possible combinations, the music industry spirs our another
right at your feet. The question is, are you
rcady for this one? 1r is the combination
of waffles and pizza, of salad dressing and
'pagherri. It is the melding of Hip-Hop
.lIld Electronica.
What's that you say? What's the name of
the album? Well .. . it's not really an album,
per se; ir's rather more like a soundtrack,
umm ... actually, it is a soundtrack. This
,o undtrack is a st,lf -studded co mpanion
to rhe upcoming movie Blade II. Those
wacky vampirn arc up to morc ruckus,
bllt hey, if" YO II W:lnt a movie review, go
,omew hcre clse.
Immortal Records, a dlvi,ion of Virgin/
EM I. has assembled a diverse lineup,
uniquely pairing the two rhemes of HipHop and EleClronica artists on each track
for rhe Blade II compdat ion. The Blade
II soundtrack boasts critica lly-accl aimed,
multi-platinum anisrs in duos such as
Mystikal with Moby and Eve with Fatboy
Slim. Newcomer Bubba Sparxxx teams
lip with The Crystal Method. Redman
Juins up with Gorillaz, and many more big
lIames are on this album.
Happy Walters, founder and CEO of
Immorral Enle rtainmcnt , said, "We have
taken an aggre"ive appro.tch in combining
these two types of music on this soundtrack.
The process of putting thi s together was
both artistically ch.dlenging and fulfilling."
Whar can you say to thar? So with Walters'

inspiring words in mind and by the pure
coincidence that I had a weekend off- whar
the hey, why not review the thing?
The soundtrack is headed towards a new
trend, so in that aspect it's good. However,
I cannot say the same for the lyrical content
of some of the songs, especially track two,
"Cowboy" by Eve & Fatboy Slim. The
lyrics are tired and used. Ger rhis: the fadeout of the song was, "Where's my n*gga's
at?" (repeats ... repeat ... repeat .. . etc).
The beats were at best okay for thar song.
However, for all the Ele ctronica lovers,
rrack one, " Blade Theme Song" by Marco
l3e1rami and Danny Saber, was excellently
done. Jt has a 'Matrix-like,' 'Jer Li ' type of
a feel the whole way throllgh.
Ice Cube & Paul Oakenfold's hard
rock-Elecrronica-hip-hop style was well
done in "Right Here, Right Now" as well.
Apparently, though, violence and sex cannor
be surgically removed from Ice Cube's lyrics,
even with a magical wand/hammer. Jr's as
ifl'm listening to one of his tracks from two
years ago and rhe only thing that's different
is the background music.
As for rhe rest of the songs, mosr of
them lacked the Electronica component. I
felt that some of the songs were just purely
h ip-h op in rhat respect. All in all, I wouldn't
buy this C D unless I was really into the
Blade movies, in which case I still wouldn't
buy it because they didn't mention anything
abour the movie in the entire CD (except
for rhe theme so ng, but then, would it
be called a soundtrack if it didn't have a
rheme song?) I would wait unril one of your
friends bought it, then if they had a CD
Burner . . . you get rhe picture.
However, I do have [0 give Immortal
Records props for having Hip-Hop and
Electronica talent in each of their tracks. If
you are interesred in what the soundtrack
sou nds like, you can visit this site: http://

TakingtheSHAMEout of' Sex

8

At the sex workshop in the Edge la st
Thursday, students said they had never talked
about sex formally before, and they said
talking about sex is shameful in our culture,
Some students blamed religion for their
feelings of shame.
"Christianity [says] god's laws are written
on your heart," says Liz Mann, student and
member of the Evergreen Students for Christ
volunteer group. "When you have sexual
affairs out of wedlock, you realize that's
something you shouldn't be doing."
Mann says the feeling of shame dripping
through you when you have premarital sex is
like when you are stealing something from a
store and you know you shouldn't be doing it.
It's a message your body is giving you warning
you not to do it. A higher message.
But Lizz Randall of Toys in Babeland,
who has facilitated sex workshops at colleges
around the region, echoes what many health
educators are say ing these days. The news

Sex technique is what no one talks about
formally at Evergreen. One student who lives

people about how to have really long sex. "I
read [the book] Multi-Orgasmic Man," he
confesses. He says he has somewhat secret

But Lizz Randall and Paula Gilovich of
Toys in Babeland want students to unearth
and share their sexual secrets.
Students at Evergreen rarely talk formally
about sexual technique, but from the questions and comments made by students at the
workshop last Thursday, every student wants
to touch this inspiring subject.

as long as you do it safely.
"The more the world continues to be
fucked up, the more inward we all turn for
connection. People want to connect, especially
in chaos, and one of the highest ways to
connect is sexually," she says.
Students say they feel shame about having
sex and talking about sex techniques because
sex is really marketable and really globbed
up with a bunch of extra debris, like people's
values and gender roles, says Paula Gilovich,
who also helped facilitate the workshop at
Evergreen. When sex is talked about under
the microscope of television, radio and MTV,
it is like trying to look at a painting at the
bottom of a swimming pool.
It's really murky.
Students are too horrified to make sexual
requests of their partners because they don't

Planning Board has Three Students

1:.iJL:C~1ijLE~'iL===========================
by GorBJI Pem
Evergreen's budget cuts will affect every
student. But only three students, selected
by administrators, will help make decisions
about the cuts.
Three students, three fac ulty, and three
staff sit on rhe college's Pl anning an d
Budget Council along with administrators.
That's the group charged with figuring out
how Evergreen will handle a $ 1.5 million
budget cut.
.
Just one of the student members showed
up at the commi ttee's first meeting in
January.
"I don't feel like I represent the students.
I feel like I'm a student who is giving
input," said Wynne Washburn, the student
who made ino the meering. Washburn also
heads the Student Services and Activities
(S&A) Fee Allocation board, the body
that divides up student fee money among
student groups.
Thing is, she's not supposed to represent
orher students. Steve Trotter, college budger
director, leads the planning committee. He
says the idea behind having stUdents on [he
com mittee is [Q provide other perspectives.
Trotter says i[ helps [Q hear from people
who will be direcdy affec red by cuts [Q
servlces.
" Our studen rs are not shy," he says.
"They make points of view known , and
they make sure the council knows."
Washburn says she feels supported on
rhe commircee, and her questions are always
answered.
But.she also says she hasn'r heard much

from the other stUdent committee members.
One is an Evergreen graduate stude nt,
the other is head of the :acom" campus
S&A board.
The students were selected by Art
Costantino, the college's vice president for
student affairs. His secretary says he took
nominations from the directors of graduate
programs, Tacomicampus faculty, and that
he approached Washburn direcdy.
Washburn thinks the administration
did~'t do a good job of getting the word out
about the committee. She says she would n't
have kn~wn about the committee at all if
she wasn't on the S&A board.
The planning and budget council will
submit a reco mmendarion [Q the President
later this year. The President will in tllrn
recommen d a budget to die board of
trustees, the college's ulti mate aecisionmakers.
Steve Trotter is in charge of advertising
t he committee's meetings to the campus.
The nexr open meeting' is scheduled for
Monday, March 11 , from 3 to 5 p.m. in
Le:: rure Hal! one. The sc hedul e wasn'r
finished unril this week.
Trotter welcomes students to the committee meetings, but points out that the
meerings are business first.
"Corning ro listen is one thing. Co ming
to participate is another," Trotter says.
