AGGRESSION 101: Former Evergreen student Chris "Sandman" Sands presents his own form of gospel with Todd Denny
during a men's violence prevention seminar in lecture hall four. The two presented hip-hop styled songs to inform and help educate
students about racism, homophobia, and sexual assault.

Students Univolved in Decision-Making
Do Students Care? .Few Show Up at Open Forums
by Chris MiI/aUy

" Students

do not care."
It 's an easy assum ption to
make after what happened last

Monday.
At a forum open to all students about
possible budget cu ts to studem services and
tuition increases held last week, only eight
students showed up to talk.
The rest of Evergreen's 3,983 students
did not.
Most Evergteen students did not hear
about the meeting. Others found no reason
to go. But no students said they just don't
care.
"Yo u usually have to come to four or
five meetings in a row to really know what's
going on," said Sam Terpstra, a junior at
Evergreen.
Terpstra organized and facilitated meetings for an environmental group at his
school down in Oregon before transferring
to Evergreen. He said the group members
had to come to every meeting, usually one
per week, or they would miss out on the
day-to-day decisions and ideas being passed
around.
They had to stay constantly involved.
Terpstra said students have to stay just
as involved on a weekly or monthly basis to
actively participate in budget decisions at
Evergreen. But he says stud ents don't have
the tim e to stay involved, so it is impossible
for them to give good input if they just stop

in for a meeting.
"Eve ryone in the audience is kind of
clueless," he says.
At every meeting that administrators
host for studems, at least half of the time is
spent clueing in the students on what the
proposals actually mean. Then -during the
time when studems are asked to provide
input, some of them spend more time
asking for clarification.
Sam Terpstra says his time is worth
gold to him. Instead of going to the budget
meeting last Monday to discuss tuition hikes
and cuts to services, he wem snowboarding.
Terpstra says he struggles with what many
students face every single day: managing
their time. Some students said they do have
the time to attend every administration
meeting, but if they went, they would miss
out on something else in their lives.
They volunteer, they work, they do
academic research, they read, they recreate,
all in a few free hours avai lable each day.
Going to administrat ive meetings where
Terpstra says things "fly over yo ur head" is
the last place students may wan t to be.
"If you really want to see what is happening," Terpstra says, "co me in after the
decisions have been made and voice your
opin Ion. "
Terpstra says he ex pec ts administrators

Students Ill-Equipped to
Participate
Commentary by Brent Patterson

}J

l in all, student reaction to last
Monday's forum on the Planning
nd Budget Counc il 's (PBC) recommended budget cuts/tuition hikes was not
outstanding. In a room spattered with
people in collared button-ups, slacks and
ties, and the occasional briefcase plunked
next to hard-leathered shoes, it was no
chore to recognize that student turnout was
hardly overwhelming. Indeed , attending
faculty numbered in the high twenties while
student showing was less than ten.
Of the paw-full that was there, it is
unclear how many came into the meeting
with more than a vague grasp of the proposals. The forum curiously lacked the type of
rallying disc ussion between administration
and students that one might expect from
suc h a gathering. It ran less like a forum
than a teach-in.
"It was educational, but I couldn't really
participate well because I had no basi s
of knowledge on the subject," admitted
student Emily Slater.
Students came in with some idea of
the list of possible cuts on the chopping
block, and of the tuition hike, but little
more. For the most part they on ly offered
their concerns , often spoken through thin

Few Students

from cover

to make the decisions for students and
to advocate for students because that is
what they are paid to do.
"I really haven't the rime, money
and will to be active," said Janet Quinn,
another Evergreen student.
The will to be active is another thing
some students say t:·,ey are missing.
Quinn said she would go to meetings
if she saw how it directly affected her dayto-day life. She says most students will
only come to a meeting if it affects their
immediate lifestyle.
Juliana Chaummette, a senior at
Evergreen, says she feels no peer pressure
to get involved in administrative decisions.
Nor does she get involved herself.
"I feel I can say what I wanted and
that they would consider it," she says.
"But I don't feel like I take part in their
decision."
Chaummette says she doesn't feel like
contributing ifher voice isn't heard.
"I don't feel students have a lot of
power. I don't feel I have much of a say,"

she says.
During every meeting a student will
usually ask, "So what exactly is our opinion
worth?" Some students say they know they
have a voice, but they don't exactly know
how loud it is. But many students do not
have much of a say because they never
make it to the meetings that administrators
hold .
So Evergreen administrators must make
decisions about services that students use
without much student input.
Art Costantino, who overseas many
services that students use, such as academic
advising, housing and the health center,
says he has hosted about eighteen student
forums over the last three yeaIs, and at
most of those meetings only about five
or six students actually show up. He says
when students do show up he presents
his proposed decisions to them , listens to
them , and then uses their input to finalize
his decisions. When students show up ,
they matter.
But when 44 students in the CAB were

Email @ Evergreen
by Chris MulaOy
Only about 18 percent of Evergreen
students have ever used their email
account, according to Dave Metzler,
Computing Network supervisor.
Evergreen students receive: an email
account when they register for their very
first class. Their account stays active as
long as they are students.
The account offers normal email
access like Hotmail or AOL but also
emails about discussion groups, arts
events, student group information, job
notices, and ongoing conversations about
current events.
It enables a student to get clued in on
campus politics and find out what people
are talking about at Evergreen.

Students said there are many reasons
why they don't use their email account.
Some say they already have one and some
say it's not efficient to get one and tell
friends about it, only to hunt for a new
one when they graduate.
Some students said they did not know
about their account, but when they were
told about the campus information they
could find on it, they said they would
probably use it.
"It depends on how aware you want
to be," says Dan Goldfinger, Evergreen
student.
Administrators utilize Evergreen email
accounts to send ·messages about issues
affecting students like tuition increases
or cuts to student services.

Here's how to access your Evergreen email account.
I. Go
to
www.evergreen.edu/
exchange.
2. You'll see a gray box that says Change

3. You'll see the heading Password

first name (e.g. gre), the first 3 lerrers
of your last name (e.g. ima) and the
day of the month you were born (e.g.

6. In the old password box type (all
lower case) the day of the month you
were born in (e.g. 09), the first three

you were born (e.g. 8) together and your
old password is 09mar81 .

A number of students didn't feel prepared, and hinted that the administration
had some responsibiliry.
"Too much time was spent reviewing
the packet. It was good that was done,

Asked what she rhought about how

student Sara Needleman-Carlton replied,
"People could have been more informed.

berrer job at that."
The administration's efforts to actively
educate students in advance of the forums
went no further than advertising for the
meeting itself: a banner was hung from the
library, notices were sent to the student
body via e-mail, and on the day of the
meeting a student milled around a table
informing passers-by.
More could have been done.
But part of that finding-out process is
up to the students.
"Students should inform themselves , to
just blame the administration sounds like
a cop out," opined Needleman-Carlcon.
"We need to be responsible for creating
our own college experience ... it's kind of

asked last Tuesday whether they knew the
Monday Budget and Tuition meeting had
happened, only six of the students said,
"Yes." Most acted surprised and said they
were not told.
Although Costantino sent an email to
all students at their Evergreen accounts to
remind them, only one of the 44 students
said they check their account or even know
they have it.
.. I don't think there's a concerted effort
[co advertise to students]," said Harald
Fuller-Bennett, a junior at Evergreen
who anended a budget meeting earlier
this guarter. He says he was intimidated
to speak at the meeting because there
were so many administrators and so few
students. And he wasn't ptepared to discuss
a 12-page financial packet when it was
handed out at the meeting.
"If students don't respond, it's the
administration's job to do something that
students respond to," Fuller-Bennett says.
"To make it accessible."

A Few Hints For
Administrators
compikd·by Chris MuIBlly

Students show up at meetings administrators hold, though not that onen, But
a few students consistently show up at
meetings and speak openly aboqt what they
think. They offer the following suggestions
for the future to Evergreen administrators:

1. Give ·students information packets
on the: meeting content a week before the
meeting happens. (Harald Fuller-Bennett
- Junior)
2. Never hold meetings that conflict
with class times. Hold more meetings and
make the meetings smaller. Also, have
meetings that are just for students. When
students walk into a classroom where there
are mostly administrators, they don't feel
inclined to talk. (Joe Carr ~ Junior)
3. Give high priority to emails from
students and phone calls from students.
Call students back within one day. (Joe
Carr - Junior)
4. Offer more advance notice that meetings will occur. Tell student groups so they
can advertise the meetings too. Ooe Carr
- Junior}
5. Hold meetings in less intimidating
locations, including the Edge. (Joe Carr
- Junior)
6. Create a single student position that
promotes forums for dialogue between
students, faculty, administration and staff
about issues affecring Evergreen. (Evan
Hastings - Junior)
7. Create a sense of connection and
community with students through forums
or potlucks or parries co talk about the
general vision of the school, so that when
a crisis comes up, there is a link. (Evan
Hastings - Junior)
8. Create an electronic voting system
to make decisions on budget affairs or
other issues; make elections simulcaneous
with student registration. (Evan Hastings
- Junior)
9. Come down to places like the CAB
and Library and other places on campus co
strike up conversations. "Engage in student
life." (Marco Rossi)
1 O. Go to classes and spe~d a few
minutes explaining what the issue is. This
is important enough to take up class time.»
(Sara Needleman-Carlton)
11. Put the information on the web site.
Or blow it up and make it poster size. Set
it up in the cafeteria or in the bookstore
window. Maybe have a comment box next
to it. (Sara Needleman-Carlton)

Commentary on World Events

Student Voice
in the Budget
bv Andiew COChran

-

Budget cuts will affect every studenr on
this campus, either with higher tuition or a
.
reduction in services. Or, more likely, both.
So JUSt how much has the school listened to
studenrs' concerns over wha( matters)
The administration has scheduled several
forums for students to communicate concerns
about budget matters. Sparse studenr attendance
has raised concerns among administrators
and students alike that students are not being
heard. Steve Trotter, the chairman of the BPC,
attributes this to busy student lives. He says
that in previous years, student attendance at
such meetings has nor changed drastically. At a
studenr forum in March, less chan one tenth of
one percent of the student body showed up. At
another student forum on April 8, only eight
students were present, in contrast with more
than twenty faculty and staff members.
This is not to say that some studenrs are not
talking to the administration.
Trotter has received more than th irty emails
since the March meeting, representing at least
twenty-two students. The majority of these
emails concerned the computer center, and
twelve specifically menrioned John McGee, the
Information Technology Systems Specialist at
the Computer Center, a full time, professional
computer expert. At least partially because of
this input, McGee's position - which was in
jeopardy of being Cut - is now secure. John says
he is "certainly gratified" about student support
and he is "feeling a lot better now."
Some of the other areas abour which students
have expressed concern include campus safety
and financial aid. Crime Watch, a campus safety
program that was slated to be CUt in half, will not
take any reduction now. Peer Advising, which
supports Academic Advising, was also to take
a 50% cut. The current proposal recommends
it now only be reduced by 25%. Peer Advisor
Denise Pearson attributes this to student voices
and supervisors who are "ve ry supportive.'·
Additionally, the cuts in Access Services (providing assistance and information to students
with disab ilities) and First People's Advising
(providing advising, referral services, anq
advocacy to students of colo r) have been taken
off the table altogether.
However, all of these proposed cuts were
under a 5% across -the-board budget cut.
The neWeSt numbers say that four of the five
divisions will only hav~ to cut their budget
by 2.5%. The fifth, academics. is scheduied
for a 1.8% CUt.
Does this mean all studenr concerns been
met?

Because the budget recommendation has nor
been submitted to the president's office or the
board of trustees, no final decisions have been
made yet. There are possibilities of further cu"
in areas that students have expressed concern
about , notably the sycamore trees along Red
Sguare and the Evergreen Swim Team.
The lack of a strong student presence in
budget deliberations also leads to the possib ility
that CUtS will affect se rvi ces that many srudents
care abour. Troner, however, says that It IS
the "guality of the discussion" rather rhan
guantity of students represe nted that is most
1m po rta n t.
Finally, most of the students who have
spoken with administrators expressed rheir
concern that the neediest among the student
body be affected the least by cuts. This means
that for out-of-state students, who pay the most
in tuition and would therefore be affected the
most by increases in tuition , waivers will actua.lly
be increased. This is part of a $700,000 focus
on recruiting and retaining students.
No matter what happens, students will
be affected in concrete ways next year. Just
what impact cuts will have on the guality
of an Evergreen education wi II nor be fully
understood until then .

In rotal, Lingo Dance[heater cost
$4,000 for [WO performances and several
wo rkshops at Evergreen , according to
C hristopher Yates, who is the managing
producer for Everg teen's performing
arts program,
Yares says each year Evergreen sers
as ide about $ J 2,000 to bring in outside
acts like Lingo Dancerhearer, He says
the money is not enough for mulripl e
ac ts, and is some times barely enough for
one acr.
Yates also says each production is "a crapshoor." He crosses his fingers and hopes
that che performance is what the artisrs say
ir will be, and thar ir will sell.
Bur he's seen Lingo Dancethearer perform before,
He liked what he saw of them , and then
discussed rhe idea of hosting rhem with
fellow staff, faculty and students, He said
student input really mattered ,
'
He also showed students a video of rhem
performing,
Yates tried to assess whethet or not Lingo
Dancetheater would be worth bringing to
Evergreen based on their toral cosr and
parential to garner an audience, and then
spent the money,

Ir was jusr movement for the sake of movemenr, so only the dancers in rhe audience

T hough the audience laughed early on
at Lingo Dancetheater's confused antics, by
rhe end of the performance rhe only sound
was the squirming of butts -in chairs,
In fact, one of the most interesting

left the a udi e nce h anging because they

And rhen watching the person walk

The dancers were byper-choreograp hed,
Though most of rhe energy of the performance was mad and hectic, each performe r

They maintained their posture when they

Jon Damielle of the "The Mountain

people love Jon Darnielle for th e savage

Darnielle's " Mountain Goats" is not
a band of two , or three, or four scrappy
musicians, but only one. O nly Darnielle. H e

Darnielle re ll s stories between so ngs

though he has played a coupl e of his songs
"abo ut 20,000 times, " he co nsiders it his

"It's sort of amazi n g that, you know,

he wanted an animal name , so "The

Eve rgreen Expressions, which brought Lingo D ance Th eater ro

Glass's American Life s hows rouch a variery of themes, original
each week.
He asks army caders w hat the war in Afghanistan is really like; goes
into homeless shelters; follows pimps around: talks to mo thers whose
daughrers are downtrodden by heroine, or men and women who are
addicted to lying or who want to be superheroes.
This American Life is su rprising and thoughrful.

The show is prone to cal m , detailed story-telling rather than rabid
sensationalism , which is refreshing.
If you are a student you probably cannot afford the $21 ticket
price, but if you arrive half an hour before the show, you might get in
for half price. Jr's called the Student Rush at the Washington Center,

TIme Capsule Organizer

I am Nathan Hadden, a first year srudenr from Washington . D.C. I ca me to T he Evergreen Sta re
College four days after the arrack on the World Trade Cen ter, Il was th e most sign ifi canr eve nt
of my li fe. I started to organize a Tim e Capsule around th ese eve nts, nor realizing how mu ch the
projecr would rake over my life. I am not really sure how I had this idea. However, I talked ro staff
after orientario n about it and they supported it from th e very begi nning, all owing me to work very
hard on the project. I also thought this would be a great way ro ger stud en ts to writc abour 9/11
and th e even ts that followed.
Whar is a time ca psule ? A time capsule is defined in Th e Oxford Engl ish Dictionary ( 1989) as
"a contain er used ro store for poslerity a selection of objects thought to be represe ntative of life at a
particular tim e." I wanted ro use this week's column ro ex plain some of the more common qu es tion s
that people have wanted to know abour rhe Time Capsule. I lea rned thar rhe Time C apsule is the on ly
project happening at the Co ll ege aro und th e events of911 I .
The placem ent of rhe T ime Caps ule will be in the ,choo/'s Library Building and will be opened o n the
school's 1OOrh anniversa ry in 70 years. We have decided not ro bury rhe Time Ca psu le so that prospective
students that come to the college ca n view the plaque for it as well.
Submiss ions for the Time Capsule should be relared ro 9111 and th e events that followed. TypeJ
submissio ns should be cmailed ro evergreenproject2001 @yahoo.co lll. We are accept ing wrinen work,
pai ntings no larger than 10 " X 12" .Ind musi c thar is recorded on C D. T here is a high possibility
thar work will be publi shed on th e Time Capsule's web site in evergreen.edu, whi ch will be designed
by students. Peop le wi ll be contacted so metim e durin g the spring quarter and asked for permission
before work is pub li shed on the web page.
We wa nt to thank those tha r have contributed already and encourage others to as well. Our deadline
of May I is fast approaching. Please see the lerrers section of the Coope r Point Journa l for submissions
that th e Evergreen communiry has already contribured.

An Open Letter to the Evergreen
Community
Evergreen prides itself on irs liberal atmosphere, where all in dividua ls are accepted
and difference s are celebrated. All groups
can find t heir nich e, and if one does nor
already ex isr , reso urces abound to create
one. Unfortun a tely, sOllle people s till fall
through the cracks at this school. One such
group is rhe Trans co m munity; although
con's iderably more progressi ve than most
schools , Evergreen lacks a clear Trans policy
- specifically in Housing - which leads to
t he unwitting repression of an integral (and
fairly large) facet of the larger Evergreen
commun ity. This quarter I chose to pursue
an Individual Learning Contract that will
increase my knowledge of Trans issues and
develop a dialogue on ca mpu s about the
subject. The contract will culminate in a
proactive move by Housing to develop a
policy that will honor Trans individuals and
further strengrhen rhe co mmunity of the
school and in housing.
One's firS[ question might be simply,
"Wha t does she mean by Trans?" That is
a reasonable question, considering some
of the misconceptions and mystery shrouding this group from the larger population.
Trans is often used as shorthand for either
rransgendered or transsexual. Transgender

indicates any form of c ros~ ing co m mon ly
accepred ge nd er lin es, wh ic h does not
necessa ril y invo lve surgery or hormol1e ' .
Transsexual is rhe term used 1'0 d e note"
person who has undergone some or all of I he
surgery available, in addirion to hOrJ~10 n e" to
berter align the physical ex pression of ge nd er
with rhe menral expression.
Sex, wha l one mi gh l call t he biolog ica l
eq uipm enr one is given at birth. which resulrs
in one being designated as male , fe mal e or
intersex (someone found anywhere on the
co ntinuum berween male and female), is often
confused w ith gender or gend er express ion.
Ge nder is how one sees and presents onese lf,
and is nor necessarily an expression of sex or
