classes that involve mathematics and

Today last day to vote Susie Groshong put her
ballot in its rightful place yesterday at lunchtime. The doubleissue ballot asks students to choose the student representative
to Evergreen 's board of trustees , and decide whether to allow
WashPIRG to charge students a quarterly fee.
WashPIRG is this state's branch of the Public Interest Research
Group, a national progressive policy group that works out of
college campuses. Students pay a $6 fee with their tuition every
quarter - which can be waived by filing paperwork through the
student accounts office - to pay for WashPIRG 's operation.
Students can also vote for next year's student trustee - th e
only student representation on Evergreen's goveming body. Six
students applied for the position, and their applications can be
viewed at the voting tables in the CAB and Library buildings.
On Tuesday, the first day of voting , 772 of Evergreen's 4,200
students turned in ballots, but those watChing the boxes said only
about one in ten voted for the student trustee. Most students
don't know what the student trustee does; Morgan Thornberry,
one of the candidates , said she didn't know about the position
until she saw a flyer. After Evergreen students choose the top five
applicants, Governor Gary Locke will make the final selection .

Food Services out $490,000 this Year
College will Cover Bon Appetit's Loss; For Some, Meal Plans May Become Mandatory
by Cbns
B
M.UJalJy~
_ _ __ _ __
on Appet it, Evergreen's food service
p rovider, has lost $489,975 since
Sept. 1 of this year, when they began
se rving food at the col lege. By the end
of the year, they p red ict to lose ~ total of
$849,030, some of which will be rei m bursed
by removi ng money from services studen ts
use and fro m some of the money studen ts
pay in tuition.
W hen Bo n App etit ad d s up all t h e
mo ney they have made from selling mea l
plans. cash o r credi t sales, and ca tering and
co nferences, and subtracts it fro m all th e
mo ney they have spent o n supplies and pay
for their worke rs, they have lost over half
a m ill ion dollars.
" Ir's obviously not good news," says
Collin Orr, wh o directs th e fo od se rvice
program at Evergreen.
[n additi on ro th eir current de bt, Bon
Appetit is askin g Evergree n if t hey ca n
borrow $200,000 now and $50,000 later to
cover some basic costs, which they will try
to repay if [he food service sra rts makin g
money.
But, Sreve Trotter, Evergreen's Budget
d irector, says, "The whole problem is much
larger. "
Evergreen itself does nor have the
$250,000 to give ro Bo n Apperit because
Everg reen is in t h e midd le of c utti n g
$85 1,000 of irs own budget, so the
$250, 000 doll ars has bee n tacked o n to
the money that is already being cut fro m
se rvices like Po lice Su pport, Acad emi c
Advising and Tutoring.
A budget co un cil th at includ es two
st udents, administrato rs, and the president
of th e college has bee n holding meetings
since Janu ary 22 to d etermine what services
should be trimm ed an d wh at should be
preserved .
Wh en T ESC hired Bo n Appetit to
repl ace Fine Host, the previous provide r,
rhey made Bon Appetit sign a 3-year long
co ntrac t. Pa rt o f th e co nt ract sa ys Bon
Apperit must sell a minimum o f 400 meal
pla n contracrs each quarter th is year. Collin
Orr, Evergreen's food services d irecror, says
he targets meal plans to incoming fresh man,
but he says he doesn't know who actually
buys them.
[n fa ll of th is year, Bon Appe tit sold
293 pla ns, 107 mea l pla ns short of the
goal.
"That was the firs t ind icaror we had
rhat was worrisome," said An n Da ley, who
is Coll in O rr's boss.
But in winter qua rter of this yea r, Bon
Ap pe tit onl y sold 11 2 meal p lans, nea rl y
three times less t han their fall ro tals, and
298 meal plans sho rt of its goal of 400 .
C ollin Orr says he is not certain why
m any students did not purchase meal plans
winter quarter. He says he has heard so me
complaints the prices are too high for the
all-you-can-eat d inner meals. Some students
agree the food services are too expensive.
And possibly too sophistica ted .

2:2 1 a .m . A pa rry in Housing, nor an
unusual occurrence. An MIl' citation as a
result, again, nor uncommon. Loud m usic
com ing from T d orm attracts two officers'
attention. As they approach, a group of
students rush into one of the apartments.
One poor individual is left standing outside
with a half full beer in her hand a nd a
questioning look on her face .
11 :56 p.m. Another MIl' ... an o th er
parry.
March 1 7 - - - Here's a neW twist on an old favotite ...
Someone who had received a MI I' earlier
is caught relieving himself againsr the
side of A dorm. This case is forwarded to
Grievance.
20---March 1 5 - - - - March
Graffiti is found on the enrrance doors
12:00 a.m . Two males were seen in the

9:00 p .m. Reckless endangerment??
How? Well, when you ride on the bumper
of a van, there is a danger thar you can
falloff.
March 1 6 - - - I :24 a.m. Stopped for speeding, arrested
for DUll MIP. Honesrly, whar's with people
that drink and drive? I mean. drinking is
of the covered recreation pavilion.
March 2 1 - - - 6:06 a.m. More graffiri is found, only
rhis rime it is on various signs and utiliry
boxes around campus.
Time unknown. Burnt rice sets off the
fire alarm in B dorm ... Watch that food ,
boys and girls.
7:50 p . m . Someone is found passed
our on the fourth floor of A dorm. Police
serv ices were called in when a residen t hea rd
him vom iting o utside of th ei r door. No one
knew w ho he was or how he gOt there.
8:21 p.m. Another MIl' happens on
ca mpus, this time by a non -student. He is
promptly rewarded with a crimina l trespass,
and we I! , an M I r.
is awoken to the smil ing face of a police
officer. He is the n discovered to ha ve nor
on ly a suspended license, but is a lso in
possession of a controlled s ubsta nce. Since
he had driven to the location he was at,
he was taken into cus rody and had hi s
parapherna li a raken to the cruel dragon
that is the evid ence locker.
March 22 - - - - April 6 - - - -7:04 a.m. Graffi ti is fo und on a utiliry
box nea r T dorm.
12:34 p.m . As two m en were hard at
work painting in the boiler room, the fire
alarm went off. I t would seem that the ca use
of rhe alarm was paim fumes ... odd, yet
true. Yet another reason to make sure yo u
paint in a well vemilated area.
March 2 9 - - - 10:45 a.m. Ir is always the simple things
that cause someone to be pulled over, isn't
it? Today someone is stopped because of
malfuncrioning brake lights and is found
to have a suspended license.
II :30 p.m. Again someone is stopped
today because of a minor traffic infracrion.
Well, maybe not rhar minot, since this
person, like so many before him in this edition of rhe blottet, was stopped for speeding
and taken into custody for DUJ.
April 2 - - - - -
11 :40 p.m. A fi re ala rm goes off in
U dorm. It is be lieved that t he ca use of
said alarm was smoking with the windows
closed.
11 :55 p .m. Another case of MIl' is
forwarded to the campus grievance officer.
This time the offender was ca ught with
a bottle of Heineken, and his case was
forwarded to Grievance along wirh so many
before him .
April 7 - - - - 7:26 p.m . Graffiti is found on a utiliry
box by T and U dorm
9: 12 p.m . Someone is caught smoking . ..
No, not in the boys' room, but in the Arts
Annex .
11 :05 p.m . Because of rhe unfairness of

a "No Patking" sign got pushed over.

Sexu"1 A5'ault AWJreness Month" an annual evellt th.lt
provides The Evergreen Srate Co llege co mmunity with an
opport unity to unite our voices .Ind acrions to end all forms
of sex ual violence. It is a time to learn about the underlyi ng
causes of sexual Violence and how ro change our personal and
cultural beliefs and behaviors so that sexual violence no longer
exists in our society. Sexual Assault Awareness Month is also a
time ro heal individually and as a com muni ty.
Throughout rhe state, Sexual Assaulr Awareness is focused
on for the first week of April, where as TESC focuses on it for
the entire month. The herstoty of Sexual Assa ul t Awareness
Week began in the eady 1970's when marches and rallies
became the vo ice of sexual assault survivors. T hese were events
where wimmi n gathered as a united front to demand safety
in their homes, on their streets, and in their co mmunities.
The main event was tided "Take Back the Night." As time
passed and awa reness of the complex issues su rrounding
sexual violence grew, the number and diversity of the events
also grew.
The Evergreen State Co ll ege Sex ual Assault Aware ness
Month started in April of 1995. It was at this ti me that a newly
established Office of Sexual Assau lt Prevention joined with
rhe student gro up, Rape Response Coal ition (currendy known
as Coalition Aga inst Sexual Violence), to raise awareness and
take act ion to end sexual viole nce o n ca m pus. Every year sin ce
1995. Sexual Assau lt Awa reness Month has been recogn ized
and has conti nued to grow in its co mmuni ty suppo rt and
number of events. As can be seen by the C PJ calendar for
SexuJI Assault Awareness Month. we now have over 20 events.
In planning rhese eve nts, great care was taken to make sure
that all people in our com muni ty feel included and recognized.
We hope that each of you can find a number of evenrs that
will be empowering to attend.
And so once again it is April, when we join effortS to end
sex ual violence. We come togethe r to learn how to protect
each orher and ourselves through awa reness and actio n. Most

in conjunction with Yom HaShoa , Holocat<Si
Remembrance Day.
Israel has mounted a major military cam paign in the
Occupied Territories (first the West Bank, a nd then Gaza
Strip on April 7). Numerous areas, including Bethlehem,
Jenin, Ramallah, Nab lu s, and Beit Ja ll a, have been and
are under attack by the Israe li Defense Porces (lDF).
On Monday, April 8, Ariel Sharon stated that the operations wou ld contin ue, in defiance of U.S. "demands for
withdrawal." According to th e Palestinian Red Crescen t
Society (PRCS), there have been 63 confirmed deaths from
March 29 to April 7, although it should be noted that the Red
Crescent has regula rl y been refused access to areas where there
are wounded and people with little or no food or water. A
number of PRCS ambulances have been attacked, including
being shot at and o ne being crushed by an IDF tank. Extrajudicial executions are occ ur ring, and there have been (U.S.
suppli ed) helicopter gunships firing directly into refugee camp
houses. Journalists have been to ld that -it's all "closed military
areas," with CNN and NBC subseq uently being threatened with legal
action by Israel. Reponers have been fired upon by IDF soldiers,
as have international peace activists trying to deliver human itarian aid
to Palestinian civil ians under siege. Access to hospitals has been
den ied. a newborn died and a U.S. citize n shot by IDF troops
was buried in a parking lot. In Bethlehem over 200 people
are trapped in th e Church of the Nativity (considered the
birthplace of Jesus); in the Azza refugee camp on Apr il 7, t here
were 7 "armored personnel carriers firing at bui ldings fu ll of
civilians .... "; and a mother and son were shot dead and their
relatives forced to be with the bodies for 3U hours. With the
escalation in Israel's m ili tarism in the occ upi ed te rri tories
is an increased outcry aga in st the ki ll ing; as ma ny as 20.000
people demonstrated in Te l Av iv on April 6, and there are
more than 400 IDF troops refusing to serve in the Occup ied
Territories, with 32 residing in mil itary prisons for t heir
choice (as of April 8). (more: http://www.cursor.org/, http://

will not be able to be appealed by the

Also on this day, President Nelson

the best AIDS programs in the world, but
he also promised to cont inue pus hing
the public health sys tem to distribute AIDS drugs, a move the government has rejected. "When people are
dying-babies. young people- I can
never be quiet," M a ndela said in a
radio interview with the South African
Broadcast Corp.
The South Afri can government is
currently providing the drug at 18 pilot
sites across the country, saying more study is
needed before it expa nds the program

were still getting over the WTO protests in Sea ttle, so when word
came down that civil disobedience wou ld soo n appear in O lympia,
things started getting tesey. Peop le around town were getting
wo rried about newspape r boxes go ing t hro ugh the p late g lass
windows at the Spar for severa l months leading up to the day
it actually happe ned. And then, when just after noon on May
first cam e arou nd, Ihe entire town uttered a collective "Ah jeez ...
T hat's gross."
It was a lot less like the protests in Sea ttle, where the direct
action of thousands of people actually served a purpose in im peding
the WTO meetings. The only th ing Mayday did in Olympia was
to show off group stupidiey. Co mparing the WTO protesrs in
Seattle to Mayday in Olympia is a lot like comparing Rosa Parks
to a drunken fraternity broth er. Th at image hasn't improved
in two years.
lr was embarrassing. I know a lot of people had fun, but for
me Mayday has always been embarrassing. I didn't see anything
that had to do with serious discussion of important issues. The
only thing I saw at the first Mayday in O lym pia was an immature
display and a violation of other peoples' rights. I'm from Olympia,
I am also now an Evergreen graduate, and knowing that a lot of
people associate Mayday with O lympia and Evergreen (En good

Today, a growing movement of Israel i
reservists ca lling themselves "Omcts
Lesarev," meaning "Courage to Refu se,"
also known as " Refuseniks," arc joining
together to "black flag" the Israeli aggress io n ta king pla ce in th e West Bank.
Wh il e they recog nize th ei r responsibility

further aCts of mi litary force in occupied

withdrawn from active duty and have
been jailed. Others are disobeying orders
to appear for serv ice altogether. Reading

So me of them have served in Ihe occupied

or fo r ill) is humil iating.
I've always been proud to be from O lympia and to be associated
with Evergreen, because there has always been so much of which
to be proud. I don't count Mayday.
Mayday is far from being a production by Evergreen students.
T he perception th at it is by a lot of O lymp ia res idents is wrong,
and th at's why Sean Rogers' signature campa ign is so important.
By sign ing Sea n's petition. you are saying, "Evergreen has nothing
to do with Mayday."
Mayday is the furthest thing from being a "Community Event."
If it were a community event, it wou ld ac tually involve the
community, instead of alienating it. Telling the Ciey of Olympia
that you want to hold a street parey is simply a common courtesy.
The reason we even have a ciey government is to take away the
hassle of having large parties in the streets.
Cal ling Mayday a co mmuniey event is pretty insulting. Would
you say that Proce ss ion of the Species a nd Lakefair aren't
co mmuniey events because they make a n effort to involve the
ciey in planning their events? By excluding the ciey and people
who happen to believe in the inherent goodness of locally elected
representative government, M ayday is the exact op posite of a
co mmunity event.

over cave echoing beats. After an a cappella

Little Thundering Wings
Portland native Kyle Field releases an album you can think deeply about
=b~~~,~/e~G~ryu(~~rui~a~ng~==========================================================================~.Ednor'snote:
The first thought that went through my
head after listening (0 "wondente," the new
disc by the band Little Wings, was, "What
the fuck is this?" However, after some time,
I realized that this album has an undeniable
charm that draws you back for more.
It is difficult to place a generic musical
label on the band. Little Wings' sound is
mellow like The Shins or Flaming Lips, yet
gentle and soft like Pedro the Lion. Upon first
li sten, many will be turned off by its slow,
melodic sound. If you're into fast, energetic
and loud music like punk or mctal, you're
probably not going to understand the pleasing
qualities of this alb um. You need to possess
the acquired taste for mellow music in order
to get into this album .
The entire album is driven by light gu itars,
barely noticeable percllssions and some
organs. Even if you were to turn this up really,
really loud. I doubt anybody would notice.
Tha t is how mellow this album is. Released
on K Records, a luminary label that is among
the key saviors of indie rock, Little Wings
is, not surp risingly, very much indie rock.
There is no other way to describe this type
of music. The music isn't really emo, which
incidentally is a broad enough category that
can be interpreted [0 mean a myriad of styles,
and it really isn't what you would ordinarily
consider "rock." Jr is best [0 qualify Little
Wings' music as indie rock because well,
that's what indie rock is all about, making
enjoyable, quirky and unorthodox music that
doesn't squarely fall under an estab li shed
genre.
The album starts off with the up-tempo
"Fi lled with Wonder," which so unds bizarrely
like "Man of Co nstant Sorrow" from the 0
Broth", Where Art Thou ? sou ndtrack. The
highlight of the album is a track called "Si
Si." This song sta nds out among the pack
becallse it exemplifies the appea l and charm of
Kyle Field, the voice and music behind Little
Wings. This so ng is a quiet and endearingly
melancholy piano ballad that reca lls the
stylistic motifs of Lou Reed via "A Perfect
Day" and Eels via "Jr's a motherfucker. " In
this song, the listeners can really feel Field's
sou l manifesting itself through hi s words
and music. I couldn't help but feel a tinge of
sadness as he forlornly sings, "Si Si now, don't
you cry, don't you c ry ... what a beaut iful
bran ch you wiil be." I won't try to interpret
what this means, but music is universal, and
you can tell when something is supposed to
be interprered as sad.
The rest of the album alternates berween
something with a ray of encrgy and something
fil;ed with tranqu~ity. For examp le, the album
transitions from the lively "I Saw Reflections"
[0 the simpl e" Understand. " Overall, this
album is a refreshing change fwm today's
nu-metal and hip-rock alternative music
scene. Simply put, this is human and heartfelt
musi c by a band that has a knack for gentle
pop sensibilities.

Sometimes Richman would fling off his
aco ust ic guitar in the middle of a song and
spin onto the balls of his feet for a cooi
number while the drummer kept a beat.
Then Richman would grab his guitar and
re-enter the song after a couple measures in
perfect time, holding back a smile.
"He conveys this positive attirude you

St. Claire, an Evergreen student who thinks
Jonathan Richman is, in his words, "a
genius,"
Richman strummed through his first
song "Winter Was Over for Me" to a sea
of curious and watchful eyes, and by the
time he moved into the second, called
"SpringTime in New York," a quarter of the

"He's a very strong personality,"
Johnson says. " He seemed fairly at peace
with himself[but) he's struggled in rhe past.
People have had expectations with what he

Johnson said the audience approved
of Richman. But did Richman approve of
his audience?

Evergreen's food
service company, Bon
Appetit , expects to lose
""""-!l~ up to $800,000 by the
end of the year - and
the college will have to
pay for it.
The administration
is considering requiring
all freshmen in housing
to buy a meal plan,
at a cost of $2,500 to
$3,000 per year.
Student trustee Jaime
Rossman introduced a
proposal to the
administration earlier
this year, which would
charge all students a
smaller "food services
fee" instead of requiring
housing freshmen to
buy meal plans.
"I don't rh ink most of Evergreen cars crepes and ven ison," said student Stephanie
.Johll son.
Regardless ofwhal kind offood Bon Appl'lir is providing Evergreen student" Evergreen
' llldenrs may expcn Tuirion increases as high as 14% .,rarring next year, a .<mall p.ut of
whi ch will go to cover ,ome of Bon Appetit's losses.
Steve Trotter. Evergreen's budget director, says Bon Appetir is supposed to be selfsupporting, but when it is not, Evergreen services and students must foor the cost.
:\t the starr of this yea r. the food services account had abour $400,000 saved in
it. Bon Apperit had to use a lor of tl13t money on some "one-rime" expe nse, such as
buying new regisrers and debit card m;1Chines. But now that Bon Appctit is nearing
the $500,000 loss mark , $100,000 over rhe acco unt 's limir, they are cutting into the
flesh of money elsewhere .It Evergreen. Ann Daley predicts rhat by September 30 of
next yea r the total deficit cou ld be $440,000. But where exactly thar money comes
is Impossible to determine.
Parr of Evergreen's co ntract with Bon Appetit, which was signed last summer by Ann
Daley, Co llin Orr's boss, includes coveri ng Bon Appetit's losses.
"If there's a profit they cut us a check and if there is a loss they give us an invoice
and we pay them ," says Co llin Orr.
l~ach week Bon Appetit hands Evergreen a statemen t declaring their total sales, labor,
food and operating costs, and a management fee. According to the contract, if the weekly
operating statement indicares a loss, Evergreen has 30 days to pay the bill. And, if Bon
f\ppetir sells more food then they have to pay in ope rating costs, than they are responsible
to pay Evergreen all rhe profit within one month.
.
One of the reasons TESC signed this type of contract with Bon Appetit is because
I1I5torically Evergreen has not maintained a profitable food service. Ar most colleges. meal
plans are mandatory for all incoming freshman , bringing in consisrent revenue at rhe
college, bur ar Evergreen , this has never be~n the case .
At Ann Daley's request , Bon Appetit is reducing their hOllr, of operation and
organizing a task force to decide what is not working with 130n Apperit and how it
can be changed to fit those needs.
Some other options Daley is considering include requiring that all freshman in
housing sign up for the meal plan, which cost a stud ent berween $2.290 and $2,500
a vear. But some adminisrrators say that exrra COSt may deter srudents from living
on campus.
