The Services and Activities Board is in place to serve
the students of The Evergreen State College with fees
collected in conjunction with TESC student tuition .
The S&A Board allocates this student money to student
groups and organizations created to benefit the entire
student body. Composed of eleven students, and two
professional advisors, the board is in charge of advising
students, instructing students, and providing students with
the necessary knowledge to apply for student generated
funds. The money allocated by students to students is
used to run lectures, workshops, dances, and concerts for
students. Students serving as Board members decide how
over $1 .5 million will be spent on fellow students.
If you are a full time TEST student who would be
interested in serving as a board member, can commit
to bi-weekly meetings for the length of one academic
year, don't mind being paid for your time, and want

What is the
Resource Center?
BY Kifa canny
Voices o f Color
The Women's Resource Center is a student-funded organization, staffed by volunteers. Our purpose, interests,
and events are as diverse and evolving as the women on our campus. We can help you with just about anything,
from a legal issue to that rant you want to unleash on the world. We have a wealth of community resources, a
vast feminist library, including new periodicals and a zine library, and information for the budding feminist in you
which will hopefully get you fired up to volunteer. We publish our zine, "The Ovarian" quarterly and welcome all
kinds of contributions. We put on art shows, poetry readings, and workshops. We show films and bring interesting
speakers and bands to campus. We are: women, men, activists, feminists, writers and artists. We are" interested,
political, passionate, intelligent, amused, caring and have a strong commitment to diversity and social chancre on
b
this campus. Come by and see liS anytime, upstairs in student activities, CAB)13.

There is no purpose I find better than to serve and
love. This summer I learned about real service and the
joy of helping others. I went on a ten-week internship
to Costa Rica and Ecuador working with a group called
Team Expansion. Seeing such poverty (children selling items on the street, people eating out of the trash)
makes you realize the extremity of need in the world.
The needs don ' t only fit into physical; they are spiritual,
too. The kids on the street need to know they are loved
and are special. At Evergreen I've found many people
interested in helping others through service. The way
I've learned the most about servanthood and loving
at school is through a campus organization called
Evergreen Students for Christ. Together we seek to
learn what it means to know God and to experience a
relationship with him. We meet on Tuesdays at 7 p.m.
for Bi ble study, prayer and community. We also do other
activities . This year we plan to do a dorm talks on the
Simpsons, retreats, contracts, and a medical mission. We
strive to be an open place to learn about Christ, who he
is in our lives, and how we can be like him . I think as a
group we represent a lot of Evergreeners' feelings that
all people should be valued and respected. For more
info see www.greenersforchrist.org .
The rainforests, mountains and waterways that grace the Northwest
landscape depend as much on sunlight and rain as on informed and passionate people who advocate for their wellbeing. The Environmental
Resource Center (ERC) is a student group committed to exploration,
education, and action in support of wild nature. Our office is stocked
with pertinent books and magazines, and we share skills and ideas
through weekly meetings and field trips. This quarter, take a few hours
to stay informed and have fun in defense of mother earth. There is
no better time to help stop the dismantling of federal
environftlental laws. As a student of Evergreen, you
can contributt: to the promotion of-a more sustainable,
eco-friendly campus. Your mental state will thank you
for spending a day in the forest and not at the computer!

Did you know that Evergreen students can get all around town on the bus without paying at the farebox? Just show the Intercity Transit bus driver your current student 1.0.
card, and you're on your way to lots of great places downtown, in west Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater. Popular destinations on transit include the movies, the food co-op, and
shopping downtown 'or at the malls. You can even get to Tacoma and Seattle, but you have to pay the fare for this out-of-county service.
/. T. serves Evergreen seven days a week
Learn with other students
who like to learn.
... And make ' some m.oneY t 0'0 •••
I
Two Intercity Transit bus routes serve the campus Monday through Saturday. One route also runs on Sundays. Carrying an average of 50,000 rides a month, both routes
go to the Olympia Transit Center downtown where you can connect with other routes and get all over Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater. Service to Tacoma, with connections to
Seattle, is available seven days a week on Intercity Transit and Pierce Transit's Olympia Express buses.
• Route 41 serves the dorms and the library loop every half hour during the day and every hour in the evenings, Monday through Saturday. The last trip from downtown
Olympia is at II :30 p.m. Sunday service is every half hour and ends earlier in the day. The bus travels to downtown Olympia via Division and Harrison.
• Route 48 serves the library loop every half-hour all day, Monday through Friday. This route goes to downtown Olympia via Cooper Point Road serving Capital Mall on
the way.
Take your bike with you
You don't have to be without your bike on Intercity Transit. Every bus and van has a rack for two bicycles. If your final destination is too far to walk from the bus stop, just
put your bike on the rack and away you go. Space is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Skateboards and skates are alloVved inside buses, but they must be secured by
the passenger.
Places you'll gO•..
Hop a route 41 or 48 and you can be at Rainy Day Records, Hollywood Video, Capital Mall, The Grocery Outlet, or Burrito Heaven in about 15 minutes without even a
transfer. Or ride downtown to the Olympia Transit Center, make a transfer or take a short walk, and your off-campus life expands! You l:an go to Orca Books, Batdorf &
Bronson, the Farmers Market, Olympia World News, a park, Olympic Outfitters, even Tacoma, Shelton, or the ocean!
Getting more information
Intercity Transit will visit campus several times this fall to answer your questions about Intercity Transit service and to help students plan their bus trips:
the cpj is looking for:
• Saturday 9/20, II a.m. to 3 p.m., Utilities and Services Fair
• Tuesday 9/23 , 12 to 3 p.m., Student Activities Fair
Intercity Transit service information is also available at the TESC bookstore. Just swing by and pick up a Transit Guide for all the routes and schedules and pick up a brochure. which lists a bunch of destinations and the routes you take to get there. Customer Service staff will help you over the phone. They can tell you how to get where you
want to go with Intercity Transit- which bus to catch and when, which stop, and where to get off. Just give them a call at (360)-786- 1881. Transit information is also available
at www.intercitytransit.com.

What You Need to Know About
Evergreen:
So you're here. You've entered a college beyond the preconceived notion of post secondary education. Grades? There are
no grades here. Transcripts are not mere sheets of paper with
a ft:w ambiguos letters, but novel like documents filled with
detailed descriptions of academic achievements and blunders.
Being at Evergreen is quite different than being at any other
college. If you learn the ropes, however, you too can be successful here. It helped me to think of being at college as if I
were actually at camp somewhere, adventuring and exploring
new places.
As you may have gathered, classes here are called programs. Instead of taking say, an art class, a biology class, and
a yoga class, at Evergreen you might take a class comprised of
all three. This program will be your academic involvement for
the next quarter or so. During this time, your class will probably be divided into segments like lecture, seminar, workshop,
and so forth. It is possible that one day you' ll be doing yoga
in the CRC and then the next day you'll be listening to an
I
anth ropo logy lecture.
Seminar is probably the mo st difficu lt clement of
Evergreen learning to get used to. Students in a class might
have one or two days a week where they gather in sma ll er
groups to discuss material pel1aining to the class. There is
generally a faculty member present to mediate and guide
the discussion, but other than that. it 's pretty much up to
the students. To succeed in seminar, it is im perative that you
come prepared. Whether that means reading ass igned books
or finding an artic le on the internet, you will be more likel y
to contribute if you have something to say.
The next step, of course, is to make yourself some friends. I recently
visited my boyfriend at WSU, and while you probably don ' t care about
that, it might interest you to know that their soc ial environment shocked
me. I have grown accustomed to Evergreen's culture and students. People
here tend to be quieter, or at least more introverted . At WSU, everyone
is boisterous, loud, and extremely social. I made friends at WSU almost
instantaneously. At Evergreen, I have to work a little harder. Maybe it's
the rain or such , but for whatever reason, people herejust aren't as sociall y
outgoing. One ofthe best ways to meet people is to join clubs. Get involved.
There are many different groups and organizations on campus that welcome
new students. Go to the Activities Fair and check out all of the different
tables to find something that suits your interests, or if you can't make the
activities fair, go to the third floor of the CAB building and wander around.
The third floor is home to all clubs and organizations on campus. Come
on up and visit. No one up here bites.
It's like summer camp,
but longer.

Words of wisdom
from a graduated
bY Renata Rollins
It's no secret that Evergreen is a pretty unique school. For new students, this
can be both a blessing and a curse. Sure, there are lots of opportunities at a school
like Evergreen, and students have a more direct influence over their own education. But it's trying. Sometimes you just wish they would hand out a pam phlet at
orientation with all the answers, like the college survival guides they hand out to
incoming freshmen at WSU.
But Evergreen is not WSU. It's not Whitman, and it's not Boston U. And by and
large, the "college survival guides" that those schools give out won't work here.
Recognizing this, Sean Mullen, a 2003 Evergreen graduate, agreed to talk about
his social and educational experiences at Evergreen in hopes of offering new first year
students some suggestions on how to make Evergreen worth their time (and money).
Mullen, of Port Orchard, WA, came to Evergreen directly out of high school, one of
few students among Evergreen's 1, 130 grads from 2003 who attended Evergreen all
'
four years.
Taken as II whole, Mullen's time at Evergree n has been positive. But it didn ' t
start out that way. "You real ize early on that you can get by without doing much
work, pretty easily," Mullen said. " I just didn 'lseem into [school], and things weren't
going as I had planned." He felt like he wasn't learning very much, and he worried
that he wasn't making any good friends, when it seemed like others were. He was
almost positive he was going to leave Evergreen after hi s fir st year and work for
AmeriCorps.
But by the third quarter of his first year, he got really into things. "It sounds
cliche, but you get what you put into it," he said . " When I look back, I'm very,
very happy with my education at Evergreen. I' m very glad I went here. I'm well
prepared for grad school. " Mullen now atte nds Drew University in New Jersey,
where he is pursuing a Ph.D. in modern intell ectual history.
" You get so much more out of yo ur education when you're doing things you
like," he believes. And it seems to him that he has retained more of what he 's
learned than have his friends at other state schools, and even at Whitman and Boston
University.
Mullen believes that his experience at Evergreen has been empowering. " When
I first got here and I'd read a book, I would be afraid to disagree with the author,
because I never felt like my opinions were educated enough. Now I' m more confident in my intellectual abilities."
When asked what advice he had for incoming freshmen , he said, " I think a lot
of it is not to get discouraged your first year." It will seem like you don 't get a lot
accomplished, socially or academically, but he believes the first year is the foundation year, on which a truly meaningful experience is built.
When choosi ng a program , " it's more important to know what the professor is
like than to read the class description," he said . "Fi nd professors that you lik e a nd
stick with them . I want to put in a plug here: take a class with David Marr."
As for havi ng fun socially, he said "i t just works itself out. You start to meet
people, and feel more comfortable."

Sexua.1 Assault
Chandra Lindeman. x5221 (OSAP Coordinator)
Most Greeners want it all. Evergreen's Office of Sexual Assault
Prevention (OSAP) offers it. Education, community, and creating change are what we're all about. OSAP works closely with
many Student Groups such as Coalition Against Sexual Violence,
Women of Color Coalition, Evergreen Queer Alliance, Women 's
Resource Center, and the Men's Center. During the academ ic year,
OSAP offers films, speakers, performances, marches , self-defense
classes and just about anything you request that is geared toward
ending sexual violence. We also have two new programs starting
this year: The Campus Advocacy Program and The Peer Education
Program. So if you're interested in offering support to survivors
of sexual assault or ending sexual violence through peer education, OSAP is the place to start. We focus on providing services
that are inclusive of everyone while addressing oppression as an
underlying cause of violence. If you'd like to gain training in
these areas and meet people who share your passion for creating
change, give us a call (see contact info right).
In addition to working towards ending sexual violence, OSAP
also offers services to those who have lived through sexual violence. This includes medical , legal, and emotional advocacy. If
you or someone you know needs help due to sexual violence
- child sexual abuse, unwanted sexual touch, sexual assault
- please call OSAP so we can assist you in meeting your needs.
The services from this office are free and confidential (see info
below). We can connect you with literature, referrals to counselors, support groups, or just listen to your story. If you don 't call
this office or the resources listed to the right, please talk with
someone you trust. ·Sexual assault is never the fault ofthe survivor
and survivors deserve support.
. Many of you may be thinking that sexual violence isn't something that happens at Evergreen. While Evergreen does have an
extremely unique learning environment, we still face the same
cultural and social issues as all other colleges do. Includi ng sexual
violence. The US Department of Justice slates that "College students are the most vulnerable to rape during the first few weeks of
their freshman and sophomore years. In fact, the first few days of
the freshman year are the riskiest. .. (Schwartz and DeKeseredy,
1997)." In addition to this, over 84% of all sexual assaults are
perpetrated by someone the survivor knows (acquaintance rape)
and over 75% of all sex ual assaults involve the use of alcohol. In
thi s community, it is never okay to sexually violate another person
(see Ri ghts and Responsibilities Handbook). Most people in this
community have healthy, consensual sexual relationships - they
ASK each other if they want to be sexual instead of assuming or
coercing and they treat each other with respect. To learn more
about reducing the risk of sexual violence and to learn abo ut
ending sex ual violence check out the Orientation Week events
listed .

here tend to be quieter, or at least more introverted. At WSU , everyone
is boisterous, loud, and extremely socia!. I made friends at WSU almost
instantaneously. At Evergreen, I have to work a little harder. Maybe it's
the rain or such, but for whatever reason, people here just aren't as socially
outgoing. One of the best ways to meet people is to join clubs. Get involved.
There are many different groups and organizations on campus that welcome
new students. Go to the Activities Fair and check out all of the different
tables to find something that suits your interests, or if YOll can 't make the
activities fair, go tothe third floor of the CAB building and wander around.
The third floor is home to all clubs and organizations on campus. Come
on up and visit. No one up ~ere bites.
It's like- summer camp,
but longer.

Words-of wisdom
frolTI a graduated
bv Renata Ro/Uris
It 's no secret that Evergreen is a pretty unique schoo!. For new students , this
can be both a blessing and a curse. Sure, there are lots of opportunities at a school
like Evergreen, and students have a more direct influence over their own education. But it's trying. Sometimes you just wish they would hand out a pamphlet at
orientation with all the answers, like the college survival guides they hand out to
incoming freshmen at WSU .
But Evergreen is not WSU . It's not Whitman, and it's not Boston U. And by and
large, the "college survival guides" that those schools give out won ' t work here.
Recognizing this, Sean Mullen , a 2003 Evergreen graduate, agreed to talk about
his social and educational experiences at Evergreen in hopes of offering new first year
students some suggestions on how to make Evergreen worth their time (and money).
Mullen, of Port Orchard, WA, came to Evergreen directly out of high sc hool , one of
few students among Evergreen's 1, 130 grads from 2003 who attended Evergreen all
four years.
Taken as a whole, Mullen 's time at Evergreen has been positive . But it didn 't
start out that way. "You realize early on that you can get by without doing much
work, pretty easily," Mullen said. "[ just didn 'tseem into [school], and things weren ' t
going as I had p[anned." He fe lt like he wasn't learning very much, and he worried
that he wasn't making any good friends, when it seemed like others were. He was
almost positive he was going to leave Evergreen after his first year and work for
AmeriCorps.
But by the third quarter of his first year, he got re ally into things. " It sounds
cliche, but y.ou get what you put into it," he said. " When I look back, I' m very,
very happy with my education at Evergreen. I' m very glad I went here. ['m well
prepared for grad schoo!." Mullen now attends Drew University in New Jersey,
where he is pursuing a Ph.D. in modern intellectual history.
" You get so much more out of your education when you're doing things you
like," he believes. And it seems to him that he has retained more of what he's
learned than have his friends at other state schools, and even at Whitman and Boston
University.
Mullen believes that his experience at Evergreen has been empowering. " When
[ first got here and I'd read a bo.ok, I w.ould be afraid to disagree with the author,
because [ never felt like my opinions were educated enough. Now I' m more confident in my intellectual abilities. "
When asked what advice he had for incoming freshmen , he said, " [ think a lot
of it is not to get discouraged your first year." It will see m like you don 't get a lot
accomplished, socially or academically, but he believes the first yea r is the foundation year, on which a truly meaningful experience is built.
When choosing a program, " it 's more important to know what the professor is
like than to read the class description," he sa id . "Fi nd professors that you like and
stick with them . I want to put in a plug here: take a class with David Marr,"
As for having fu n socially, he said " it just works itself out. YOLI start to meet
' people, and feel more comf.ortable."

Most Greeners want it all. Evergreen's Office of Sexual Assault
Prevention (OSAP) offers it. Education, community, and creating change are what we're all about. OSAP works closely with
many Student Groups such as Coalition Against Sexual Violence,
Women of Color Coalition, Evergreen Queer Alliance, Women 's
Resource Center, and the Men's Center. During the academic year,
OSAP offers films. speakers, performances, marches, se lf-defense
classes and just about anything you request that is geared toward
ending sexual violence. We also have two new programs starting
this year: The Campus Advocacy Program and The Peer Education
Program. So if you' re interested in offering support to survivors
of sexual assault or ending sexual violence through peer education. OSAP is the place to start. We focus on providing services
that are inclusive of everyone while addressing oppression as an
underlying cause of violence. [f you'd like to gain training in
these areas and meet people who share your passion for creating
change, give us a call (see contact info right).
In addition to working towards ending sexual violence, OSAP
also offers services to those who have lived through sexual violence. This includes medical, legal, and emotional advocacy. [f
you or someone you know needs help due to sexual violence
- child sexual abuse, unwanted sexual touch, sexual assault
- please call OSAP so we can assist you in meeting your needs.
The services from this office are free and confidential (see info
below). We can connect you with literature, referrals to counselors, support groups, or just listen t.o your story. If you don 't call
this office or the resources listed to the right, please talk with
someone you trust. Sexual assault is never the fault ofthe survivor
and survivors deserve support.
. Many of you may be thinking that sexual violence isn 't something that happens at Evergreen. While Evergreen does have an
extremely unique [earning environment, we still face the same
cultural and social issues as all other colleges do. Including sexual
violence. The US Department of Justice states that "College students are the most vulnerable to rape during the first few weeks of
their freshman and sophomore years. In fact, the first few days of
the freshman year are the riskiest. . .(Schwartz and DeKeseredy,
1997)." [n addition to this, over 84% of all sexual assaults are
perpetrated by someone the survivor knows (acquaintance rape)
and over 75% of all sexual assaults involve the use ofalcoho!. In
this community, it is never okay to sexually violate another person
(see Rights and Responsibilities Handbook). Most people in this
community have healthy, consensual sexual relationships - they
ASK each .other if they want to be sexual instead of assuming or
coercing and they treat each other with respect. To learn more
. about reducing the ri sk of sexual violence and to learn about
ending sex ual violence check out the Orientation Week events
listed.

REGISTRATION BLUES ARE NOTHING NEW!
by MCbo/as SCaD/S/OwsKI
Curtis Retherford had emailed
the professor several times, saying
he wanted to get into the class. But
there was no response. Friends who
had gotten into the class told Curtis
that his name was called for role on
the first day. "But where was I?" asks
Curtis. "In another class."
Last June, Curtis along with
six other seniors and two recent
Evergreen graduates were questioned
about registration. Participants were
asked what advice they would give,
if they had any personal stories, what
programs they had taken, and whether
they had noticed any difference in
getting into different types of programs.
The most common advice given:
.
contact the professor giving the program
you are interested in. Six ofthe nine
people questioned advised some fonn
of contact with the professor. Carmela
Feigenbaum pointed out that if a class is
full the professor would be able to get a
student in, registration cannot. Alexandra
Rosvall suggested that even if faculty
can not get a student into the class, they
may be sponsoring a similar contract.
Four people suggested registering as
soon as possible. Michael Martin suggested getting to a computer at the exact
time registration begins, knowing course
registration numbers ahead of time, and
having backup choices.
Some other advice given: Andrea Lett
suggested showing up on the first day
of class and not taking no for an answer.
Todd Skaggs suggested seeking a program six months in advance. Michael
said : "go to the academic fair and meet
the teachers" But Ezra Small warned
"Don't be intimidated at the fiasco of
the academic fair." Though you may be
caught up in short, meaningless conversations, Ezra explained, get what you
need.
Cannela suggested deciding what
to take by looking at who is teaching
it: "Take the professor, not the
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - , program," she said, adding that

she had never had a problem
with this method .
Scott Osborn explained
how he had once signed up
for a class at the last minute.
By week three he knew the
class was a mistake, but had to
remain.
,Gabe Herbert, who said he
had mainly taken audio production engineering, and Todd,
who had taken film and video
production, foreign policy and
history, both said they experienced no difference in registration for different programs.
Scott, who had taken environmental
studies and history, and Michael, who
had taken several languages, archeology.
music, and career planning both said that
some part time courses were easier to get
into than full time programs. .
Ezra. who said he had taken mostly
environmental studies. but also political
science and cultural studies, said he had
tried to get into a photography class for
his first three years before he gave up. A
very good portfolio is needed, he said.
Art classes in general are challenging to
get into, he added. Curtis, who had taken
mostly history and science, said that part
time art classes are impossible to get
into unless you are on the system immediately. Science classes, Curtis said, are
easy to sign up for, particularly physics
and math. Cannela, who said she had
taken all kinds of programs, listing math,
computer science, art, history and political economy, said that math and computer science classes were the easiest to
get into due to less demand. Art classes
are the hardest, she said.

Hello everyone. As you begin to make the transition from your summer into the
2003/04 school year, those of us at the Evergreen Political Information Center are
excited to welcome you back. If this is your first year at Evergreen, you should make
sure you pick up the Seventh Annual Disorientation Manual that EPIC compiles each
year to introduce incoming students to the history of our unique community and ways
to get active and involved. Look for friendly EPIC people handing out the Manuals or
swing by our office Qn the third floor of the CAB in cubicle one of the Student Activities
area to pick one up.
There are a lot of monumental changes and events occurring across the globe right
now, and EPIC would like all of you to know that we are here to educate our community
about these important issues, as well as work to facilitate the development of an effective
movement that can unite us in the struggle for social justice and ecological sustainability.
Students have always played an extremely important role in social movements and under
the current backdrop of war and empire, it is more important than ever that we actively
work to confront power and resist the many forms of injustice and oppression.
EPIC has been around for over 30 years, is are one of the oldest student groups at
Evergreen. During the course of EPIC's existence, we have organized students around
a wide variety of ecological and social issues and worked to connect organizing efforts
on campus to broader social movements within our city, bio-region, country, and world.
EPIC has also functioned as a venue for students to challenge the administration to
make Evergreen a more socially responsible institution.
We currently operate under a model of organizing that is built around three principles.
First, EPIC works to educate our community by releasing regular publications and
hosting informative events such as movie nights and speakers. Second, EPIC works
to mobilize our community by networking different activist groups and facilitating the
creation of powerful and diverse coal it ions that can form the pillars of effective social
movements. And third, EPIC works to go beyond armchair activism and develop a community of global citizens actively resisting and agitating a system and power structure
built on oppression and exploitation. Action can take the form of protests and direct
action in the streets as well as building creative alternatives to this destructive system
such as practicing sustainable and organic forms of food production.
This is an extremely important time to get involved in the struggle for a more just,
equal, and sustainable world where we are all free. Over the past few years, war clouds
have descended across our planet and the prospect of empire has come out into the open
proclaiming its intent to rule the planet with brute force if necessary. The most powerful faction of the global ruling class has come to the conclusion that it must pursue an
endless war in order to secure its dominance and maintain its control in an increasingly

, Plodding around Red Square, I hear:
"My faculty told me to call her about my contract, but I have seminar until three,
and then I have to finish up my evals from last quarter, so I won't get to it until after
my program potluck."
I stop. Rewind. I feel like I'm listening to a couple of doctors talking about diseases and doctor-tools. Contract? Evals? Program potluck? I sense a distinct vocabulary here.
So, let's talkjargon--Evergreenjargon, that is.
According to the American Heritage Dictionary, Fourth Edition, jargon is "a
hybrid language or dialect; Or, the specialized or technical language of a trade, profession, or similar group."
The trusty American Heritage confirms my beliefs: Evergreen does have a specific, specialized vocabulary, and the trick to becoming a true blue Greener is to
master the jargon. So, let's get started.
First and foremost, the Evergreen student has no professors. She has faculty. Now,
interestingly, Evergreen students have turned the word faculty, meaning "the body of
teachers and administrators at a school," into a title for a single teacher. Around here,
it is perfectly acceptable to say, "Who is your faculty?" Grammatically speaking, the
collective noun faculty cannot take the singular verb is when it refers to one person,
but, hey, thinking outside the box is our forte. (Remember: a savvy student could
ask, "Who are your faculty?", but only ifthat student was inquiring about the faculty
team and not a particular instructor.)
Secondly: the contract. It sounds so scary. So binding and restrictive. So Tony
Soprano. Technically, a contract is "an agreement between two or more parties,
especially one that is written and enforceable by law." Again, scary. But Evergreen
has taken this familiar concept and tweaked it; the Evergreen contract, while it is an
agreement, is not some kind of lawfully binding treatise. Rather, it is an outlin~ for a
student's or group of students' independent study, for which a faculty member IS the
sponsor, or advisor, of the academic work. Contracts are an excellent resource for
specialized, upper-division studies, and are undertaken by many Evergreen students
sometime during their academic careers.
Third, the omnipresent and weighty word: seminar. Now, according to ye olde
American Heritage, a seminar is "a meeting for an exchange of ideas; a conference." This definition is quite applicable to the Evergreen version of the seminar;
stud~nts participate in seminars and they do, in fact, exchan~e ideas and .confer. on
class themes, readings, films, etc. So what makes this word Jargon? The Jargomzation of seminar is not in the noun itself; rather, local Evergreen jargon-stingers have
elp us understand use patterns, what's happening to students, and what
you think.

verbified the seminar. That is, students seminar. They don't necessarily attend a
i
seminar; they participate in the act ofseminaring . Verbification is rampant around
!
here; for example, students don't keep journals--they journal. Similarly, Greeners
i
don't engage in dialogue, nor do they attend a workshop--instead, they dialogue and
workshop.
'
Fourth: as you probably know, grades are nonexistent at Evergreen. In their stead, II
we have evaluations, or, more affectionately, evals. As an Evergreen student, you
II
will have to deal with four types of evaluations: the self-evaluation, in which you
reflect on your performance in a particular program or class; the faculty evaluation,
in which you consider your faculty's performance; the program evaluation, in which
you respond to the design and execution of the program or class itself; and the summative self-evaluation, in which you discuss your entire college experience. Please
note that the word evaluation in each of these examples is inevitably shortened to
eval in everyday conversation. So be impressive: say self-eval when in the company
of other Greeners.
Finally, most Evergreen students are enrolled in a program rather than a handful of separate, unrelated classes. Though some students register for part-time studies classes, the majority of students takes a single, intensive and inter-disciplinary
course, which we call a program. Now, I'm sure you've all read about the logisti~s
of a program, what it covers, how it works, why it works, etcetera; therefore, I WIll
leave you all with this: call it a program, not a class. [fyou don't, you'll confuse
yourself and others. Do it for yourself. Do it for your friends. Do it for Evergreen.
One more thing: you will inevitably take part in a potluck with your program mates
at quarter's end, so break out those old family recipes.
I heard once that knowing was halfthe battle, and you are now in the know when
it comes to some significant bits of Evergreen jargon. However, bear in mind that I
have not fully explored the phenomenon of Greener-speak; I have merely catalogued
the basics. So, find some sagacious student and ask for some insights; grab a successful jargoneer and have a conversation about Evergreen. Hey, you could even
make like a Greener and dialogue about it over your program potluck.

wh,re resist'n" is
growing to global capitalism. This rise
in violence and milition of a failing global
tarization is an extremely significant manifestation in order to maintain
system that is built upon oppression and exploitaenvironment of instability
corporate profits. On one hand this system has bred the
and poverty in which terrorism thrives and on the other hand it has unleashed a massive
wave of imperial violence. Opposing this war is important, but we must recognize
that it is a symptom of a destructive and unsustainable system that is subjugating the
majority of the world's population and exploiting Earth's ecological resources.
Just last weekend, concerned citizens of the globe descended on the Mexican resort
city of Cancun to disrupt the fifth ministerial meeting ofthe World Trade Organization
and to say NO to a globalization that enriches the few at the expense of the many. On
the final day of the ministerial, the WTO talks collapsed as delegates from the world's
poorer countries walked out of the negotiations and protesters cheered in the streets.
Once again, concerned and active people ofthe world have stood up to corporate power
and have disrupted the machinery of global subjugation. Although it seems as if much
ofthe e*rgy built up around opposing the Iraq war has worn off, a diverse global coalition is continuing to grow in size and strength in its quest to replace an elite corporate
globalization with ajust and sustainable grassroots globalization.
[fyou are concerned about the deteriorating condition of our people and planet it is
really important that you get involvedin the struggle for another world . There are a lot
of great istudent groups at Evergreen that are working on a diverse array of issues for
you to g~t involved with and there are also some fabulous community organizations in
Olympia. If you are unsure which group suits you best, you should probably start by
checking out the Disorientation Manual. We have included a detailed student group
directory as well as a community group directory. You could also swing by the third
floor of the CAB to see what the many student groups are currently up to. However
you choose to get active in your community, it is important that you work to network
our many movements and realize that real change will only come by unden:nining and
combating all the forms of oppression and exploitation that exist in the world around'
us.
EPIC would also love for you to come and help us plan a radical school year that
is sure to shake things up! We meet every Wednesday at 3:00pm, so swing by our
cubicle to get the meeting spot.
One other thing: Cheers to all those Greeners who made it down to Cancun!

OK, so you've learned how to pick up your financial aid check, you've met the people you'll be living with for the next
school year, and you've mastered the way academics work at Evergreen (as much as one can master something without
direct experience).
Now what?
Now you can tap into Olympia's local music scene. "But wait," you say. "I'm not 21 yet. .. how do I have fun in a college town without getting a fake IO?"
Cheer up! (And save yourself the risk of a very costly infraction.) There are plenty of options for the under 21 crowd.
