To all those concerned with the wellbeing and health of all in our community :
The Campus Advocacy Program is a new
resource starting at Evergreen through the
Office of Sexual Assault Prevention. The
program, which is one of the first of its
kind, is dedicated to offering support and
information to any Evergreen student who
has a history or relationship with sexual
violence or assault. We are currently seek·
ing dedicated students who are'interested
in becoming volunteer advocates for the
coming 2004-2005 school year.
The program will fac ilitate trained
student advocates to be on call twentyfour hours a day, seven days a w·eek . The
advocates will be available to listen to and
speak with survivors or supporting friends
who need someone to offer warmth, help
with resources, understanding, or just a
person to speak with . TIuough the Campus
Advocacy Program, advocates can assist
callers with access and information to
other facilities and resources that exist in
the Evergreen Community that will be of
service' to them. Being available to act as
a mediator with campus employees such

as faculty, administration, or police services may be another role of the advocate.
The program will also help with access
to resources that exist in the greater area
surrounding Olympia such as Safe Place.
Becoming a volunteer advocate requires
prior advocacy training through Safe Place
or equivalent organizations. The Campus
Advocacy Program can also offer access
to these trainings f~r some of those who
wish to be advocates for the program.
Once trained , the advocate will have a
chance to be on call for one week out of a
quarter, at which point they will have the
program's cell phone and resource binder
as their tools.
This program is radical in its potential
to pave the way for new forms of advocacy
and peer support on campuses. I believe
that it can serve as an effective new tool
in working against sexual violence and
assault. So please, if you would like to be
a part of this new program, contact The
Office of Sexual Assault Prevention at

Thank you sincerely,

Sustainability Lecture Series
Tuesdays, 7-8:30 p.m., Seminar Il BI105
As part of Zhonka Broadband's unique "S urfbreak" program, innovative businesses around the
Puget Sound are serving up free wireless Internet
access for customers.
While other companies offer "wi-fi" (short
for wireless fidelit y) for a charge, Zhonka's Surf, breaks are no-cost and hassle-free with no login ,
password or membership required. With diverse
loc ations from grassy parks to late-night diners,
th ere is a Surfbreak location to suit most anyone 's
preference.
Z honka 's Secretary General Jacob Stewart
notes, " It's great to see business people and students escape the office or classroom to meet or
study in cafes or parks instead."
Zhonka, an Olympia-based Internet service
provider, introduced this unique program in early
2003, and interest quickly spurred expansion to
numerous cafes, espresso shops, computer stores,
taverns, and publ ic markets throughout Western
Washington .
Recent additions include coffee roasters Batdorf
& Bron:.;on's Danc ing Goats Cafe, Cafe Allegro's
two locations near the University of Washington,
a few micro-brew taverns, and the Olympia Farmers' Market. A complete list-including contact
information- is located at http://w ww.zhonka.net/
surfbreak/. In addition, locations are identified
with di.s tinctive "Free Wi-fi for the P~o ple" posters and window st ickers.
T he Surbreak loc at ion s use hig h speed Zhonk a
DSL con nections to power the wi-fi hot spots. A
customer simply brings a w ireless-ready laptop or
PDA to a Surfbreak location and "Vo il a!"- thc\
are on line.
Z honk a's M ini ster of Market ing Affai rs Dave
Olson puts lo rth that everyone in volved sta nds to
ga in from this arra ngement. "The Sud'break prog ra m offers participating businesses a strategic
ad vantage ove r competitors who charge for use,"
he said. "While we certainly enjoy the goodwill
and publicity, th e biggest winners in the scenario
are tolks using thi s exciting new technology."
For more information, contact Olson at
. 360.357.8776.
The Sustainability Lecture Series continues next week with
John Dodge's " Lifelong Learning- Local/Media Sustainability."
Dodge is a senior reporter and columnist for The Oly mpian and
has covered environmental, natural resource and energy issues
since 1984. He has authored many award-winning projects, ranging in topics from nuclear power to the decline of salmon in th e
Pacific Northwest and geolog ical hazards of Mt. Rainier.

Pro-Tree Education: Fires and Forests
Roadshow Comes to ~ Olympia,
or
April 18-19
You'll Eat What You're Told!
by Deane Rimmerman
On Sunday and Monday, April 18-19,
a merry band of performers, activists and
trainers known as the Oxygen Collective
will perform, visit classrooms and hold
workshops in Red Square.
The Fire and Forests Roadshow 2004
Save the Wild Siskiyou!
Sunday, April 18, Olympia, WA
6 p.m., The Evergreen State College,
Library Lobby
The Oxygen Collective will climb
aboard their forty-foot biodiesel bus and
travel the West Coast for the 2004 Fire and
Forests Roadshow. The trip will include
15 stops from San Francisco, CA to Bellingham, WA.
Expect live music and laughter, action
video and information.
Fire has become the latest government
excuse to log our precious public lands.
"Thin 'em before they burn, salvage 'em
after they burn," says the Forest Service.
We are told that wildfire is unnatural and
an imminent threat, that a burned forest
is dead forever.
The issue has gone critical in Southern Oregon with the Bush proposal for
the largest timber sale in modern history!
From the heat of the world's most diverse
conifer fores , there is a plan that would
fill a line of oaded log trucks bumper to
bumper from Mexico to Canada. The big
lie known as the Biscuit Fire Recovery
Plan is the greatest threat the Siskiyou
Wild Rivers area has ever known.
In the face of these poisonous lies,
the 02 Collective appears on the scene
bringing evidence, science and spirit to
the issue offire in the forest. In their wake
they will leave a trail of people informed,
inspired and empowered to protect the
land we all love.
But this Roadshow is more than just
two hours of entertainm ent and information. In most locatio ns they will spend a
second dilY giving free public trainings
and classroom presentations on a dozen
different topics , fr om eco logy to econom ics, on media and activism. See the
calendar below.

A lot has been going on recently that
will affect the course of food service
at Evergreen for years to come, and it
has been an essentially closed decisionmaking process, without students'
knowledge or significant input. Contract
extension negotiations with Bon Appetit
took place last quarter, but the school
rejected Bon Appetit's final proposal for
financial reasons. Late last month, the
Evergreen State College issued a Request
for Proposal (RFP, essentially a wantad) for a new food service vendor. The
RFP, which loosely outlines the terms of
a potential contract, was not offered for
review by the community before being
sent out.
"
There are five possible vendors who
have responded as of Monday, when a
mandatory proposal meeting was held
here on campus. Representatives from
the corporations Sodexho and Aramark
were there, as well as from Consolidated
Food Management, Inc, a Seattle based
company, South Puget Sound Community
College, and the local American Grill. It
is exciting to find that there may be some
local alternatives offered to the corporate
approach of Sodexho and Aramark, but it
is too early in the process to have much
of an idea about the likelihood of their
ability to make lJ,n offer attractive to the
administration.
Evergreen is in an awkward position,
in so~e ways frustratingly similar to the
one we were in three years ago when the
previous food service provider's contract
was up, before Bon Appetit came. Fine
Host, the old vendor, left because neither
they nor Evergreen were satisfied. The
food was of very low quality, and although
Fine Host paid the college for the privilege of operating here, the company had
consistently lost money on the operation.
With Bon Appetit, quality is high, but the
college has been paying the losses. The
ad ministration favors re-contracting out
with anot her large corporat ion , but that
seems to us like a quick , sloppy fix that
will benefit no one in th e long run. It may
be that one of the more local vendors will
be able to offer a better alte rnative , but it
may also simply be impossible for them to
make the sort of offe r that appeals to the
adm i n ist rat.i on.
The re is an ironi c hi story to all this.
Throug hout th e 2000-2001 academic
yea r. a Disappear in g Task Forc e (OTF)
rcsea rchcu the food se rvice si tuation at
h 'l'rg l een The fi na l reco mm en dati on
of the DTF \I ' ;I~ that in the long r un, a
sci f-operate d f~)() d ~crvice (meaning the
colkgc Itscll'l\llUIJ be ill l'harge oi' ll1al1aging the fo nd sen ' icc rat her than hi ring
•~ 11 ,lutsid ... \el1dor) w(luld he ill the best
Interests of the college. A profess iona l
con sult ant. p:lid by th e co ll ege, corrobo rat ed this conclusion.
It was recog ni zed that the co ll ege
'leed ed one to th ree yea rs in order to
mak e a successful transition to self-op,
so it was necessary to contract out again
in the meantime. Because of the weak
bargainin g position of the college, Bon
Appetit nearly had to be begged to come
here in the first place. The college agreed
to pay the company a management fee, and
to cover any losses or profits made above
or below that. After losing around half a
mi Ilion dollars per year on that deal for the
past three years, the college has decided
we need to try something new.
In the meantime, the now three-yearold recommendation of the DTF to work
towards going self-op has long since been
swept under a rug somewhere on the third
floor of the Library building. The carefully researched recommendations were
ignored without explanation, and the last
minute, quick-fix decision-making of the
administration may be leading to a situation in which students. faculty, staff, and
food service workers will be forced to pay
a high cost for a corporate food service we
did not choose,
The recommendations of the DTF
have been selectively and misleadingly
quoted by the administration. Sections that
refer to short-term difficulties involved in
going self- op have been taken out of context, leaving out the long-term benefits and
turning the overall thrust of the recommendations almost inside out. A previous
member of the DTF recently expressed
extreme frustration at the way their work
has been ignored. "Having already gone
through this process once it is infuriating
to see the lack of follow-through on the
part of the administration and the misinformation being put out regarding the last
food service DTP. .."
We now find ourselves, unsuspectingly, at a critical point in the decisionmaking process. If we allow another
multinational corporation to come in for
a standard 5- or lO-year contract, things
will get much worse before they get better.
If we want things to stay tolerable while
we work toward an ideal, we need to act
now. Bon Appetit, despite their corporate
ties, may be our best option for the time
being. Even since they were bought out
by the multi-national Compass Group,
they have provided a quality of food
unmatched by other corporate food service providers. They have been willing
to work with organics and local growers,
and have catered to the diverse needs of
the student body. It is extremely unli kd y
that Sodexho or Aramark would be willing
to go to sllch lengths.
The administration's solution of recontracting out with a large corporati on
does not seem to us to be sustainable or
wise, especially considering the history of
unprofitable corporate food serv ices, and
of campu s opposition to corporat e 100d
ser vice. According to the timeline fur the
RFP process, the new contract wi ll be
awarded during week ten of the qua rter.
a lthough the college has reserved th e rig ht
to adju st the timelin c. That could mean
that the fina l decision wi ll not be made
until surnmerbre ak has started and pc sk}
studen ts are out of the way.
Unl ess we say somethi ng. and soon .
the (ood serv ice w ill almost ce rtain ly get
worse. Even for those of us who don 't oft en
use the food service, food is an import ant
part of our co mmunit y. Our opinions
need to be part of the discussion around
what happens on our campus. There are a
variety of ways to get involved. Students
Organizing for Food Autonomy (SOFA)
is dedicat.:d to promoting sustainable
and social responsible food service on
campus. Meetings are Monday, 6 p.m.
in R207. The upcoming Student Organizing Summit will be another place to
discuss issues that affect us as students.

Most students who came to Evergreen
this year did so because they really
wanted to be here. Eighty-nine percent of
Evergreen's Fall 2003 first-time, first-year
students and ninety percent of its transfer
students indicated in a new student survey
that Evergreen was their top choice of
school. Evergreen was the only choice
for thirty-seven percent of first-years and
forty-eight percent of transfers. Of those,
ninety-seven percent of the first-years
and eighty-three percent of transfers said
this was because Evergreen was the only
college they wanted to attend.
This information comes from the
Evergreen New Student Survey, which
was administered by the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment last fall.
Sixty percent of the 1,367 new students
responded to the survey, which they did
by mai I or at new student events. Respondents were representative of the new student population in age, race, and residency
status, the only significant difference being
an overrepresentation of women among
the respondents.
A mong the factors affecting new
students' decisions to attend Evergreen,
designing one's own education, learning through programs instead of classes,
interdisciplinary study, and close contact
with faculty were within the top five for
both first-time, first-year and transfer
students. Both groups indicated a campus
visit, printed information, and Evergreen's
website and online catalogue as the three
most positive means of relaying information about the college.
Students were also asked about their
goals after graduation. First-time, first-year
respondents answered: understanding of a
broad range of ideas and fields; becoming
an informed citizen; having a better understanding and appreciation for differences;
and getting ajob of one's choice or making
a career change. Transfer students ranked
getting a job of one's choice or making a
career change, understanding of a broad
range of ideas and fields, helping others
or contributing to one's community, and
becoming an informed citizen as their top
goals.
The Office of Institutional Research
and Assessment will compare the results
of this survey with those ofthe Evergreen
Student Experience Survey, which will be
administered in the next few weeks. The
results of this survey, as well as many
others, can be found in entirety on the
Research and Assessment website at:
One day Alison Eldridge, a student
and staff at here at Evergreen, came into
some money. Not an incredibly large sum
of money, but enough to entertain ideas of
large sCreen televisions or trips to Europe.
But neither one of those ideas sat quite
right with her, no matter how much she
loved television and the idea of ponies
frolicking in the Italian countryside. She
wanted to do something for the good of
her community, so she initiated a scholarship.
The scholarship, started January
of 2003, is intended to support female
Evergreen students who are survivors
of domestic abuse or sexual assault. The
Phoenix Rising Annual Scholarship has
been designed to "not only to provide a
full year of tuition, but to also provide
support for add itional needs that the
recipient may require, such as payment
of legal fees incurred while separating
from an abusive partner, funds to cover
the cost of psychological counseling, or
the money necessary to attain certified
childcare for her children while she is in
schooL" The applicants will be chosen by
a collection of local leaders from related
organizations.
The scholarship fund is in its beginning stages at this point, holding only a
little over a thousand dollars. Once it
reaches $5,000, an anonymous donor has
pledged to match that number, bringing
the fund up to $\0,000. But even then,
there wi II still be $15,000 to go before
the scholarship can be endowed . The
endowment will allow for the scholarship
to be continuously offered over the years
at Evergreen.
If you are interested in supporting the
Phoenix Rising scholarship, there will be a
fundraising Bookfair at Barnes and Noble,
Saturday, April 17. The fair will run from
\0 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day, and a percentage
of every purchase made accompanied by
a voucher will be donated to the scholarship fund. Vouchers will be available from
a number of sources ·around campus the
week before the event.
If you would like more information on the scholarship or the Barnes
and Noble Event, send me an e-mail
at colladv3@evergreen .edu, or call
867.6300.

Along comes the m uch-delayed Jersey Gir l , which co mcs very cl ose to the greatness but hllls shOl1 ul timately because it st ill feels t ied down and inh ibited, Sm ith's
marginall y talented buddy Ben Affl eck stars as O ll ie Trinke , a hotshot New York
publicist who loses his j ob and his comfOl1ab le upscale status after comi ng apart at a
Hard Rock Ca fe opening (he publicly trashes Will Smith ), This is probably because
bj s wi fe Gertie died givi ng birth to their daughter. Jennifer Lopez plays the wife, and
the brief screen tirne she 's gi ven near the beginning feels like it strayed from a different movie, It 's a distracting echo of the real life trials and tribulations of Holl ywood's
most over-hyped celebrity couple.
'
But as the film progresses, Ollie has moved back to his New Jersey suburb with
his daughter, also named Gertie (Raquel Castro) and lives in his old house with hi s
father, Bart, played by George Carlin in his most serious movie role to date. He meets
a sweet:natured video store clerk (no doubt Smith's ideal woman) played by Liv Tyler,
and it was here where I began to see the movie's strength in the great ways Kevin
Smith writes dialqgl,.le and character. As a director he's clunky and unimaginative.
He simply f'ills :his shots with actors and points an eye-level camera at them. But as a

., ~'t>aVJd :Mamet.'s ~ew thriller, Spartan, is the best film out in theatres right now. I
'didn't-nave the :room for it in last week;s ,issue and I don't want you to think that I
am',generous with four-star ratings, but this film is nothing short of amazing. Among
'his'm'tiriy:o¢,ertah;rits, Mamet is a gifted filmmaker, In every movie he's ever made,
;hiit ba~~d ~p.lt~~' 9riginalscre~nplays orone of his own stage plays, a com of some
· sort takes placef"":< .

Here,"ValKilm~r gives one of his best peftonnances ever as a SpeCial Ops officer
'named Scott. Edo.'NeiJi and William H. Macy playa CIA officer and a ~ite House
operative" w4o'~enlistS '~C:ott in a secret search for the President's daughter before the
· ;rI!eqi~ 'git wW;d oJ the story: She ',S beLIeved to be kidnapped, but who the kidnappers
· are~ari(fwhat'if'means become the real crux of the story instead of the search itself,
Derek Cuke (th~\iery talented' star of the hlghly.overrated Antwone fisher) plays a
young,~~in~~~Ii9!nsists on' assist~g Sco((mp:is illv~s~igation, . ' . . ;, '.

, nuOlmaltst plece of enter4ilOment.,Kilmer IS a durable hero, playmg a ch~cter of few
wordS-and m\'ljor~actions, who knows hoW to apply the necess<:lry force <~!!n0st brutally,
to get ~hat hewants.Mamet's dialogue is fascinating: terse and aphasic w,ithout being
too simple.. Hisdiaraders don't speak in "thrillerese." Quite the opPosite. One reason .
I h ilVe person~l affinity ,for Marnet's work is·.the way his characterS coinmtmicate in
jargon and trad~raft, Thepattem in Spartan is almost c;:ryptic:afusionofshop talk,
'
.
.
shorthand and elliptical rionseq~tur. ' ' . .
Much of the movie's action involves spycraft, and Mamet explains Kilmer's techniquesnot only bYdescribing'them but simply by showing them, Meaning we have
to think: about it becilUseeverytrung's not going to be o\.ltlined in black and white.
That's notllOw spies work.
.. " .
'
In tenus of storytelling, ,Mamet's tactics' are like that of a magician rather tha~ a
screenwriter, 'more Houdini than Fellirii. The kidnapping story neVer seems to stop
unfolding, and the way wecome 'to understand' it resembles being placed in a dark
room and, having the lights come on very slowly so that only when the lights are fully
on do we fully see what the room looks like. Tmst me, that 's about as much as I can
go into Spartan without giving it away.

When I started researching for my good
compad res over at DEA P (Deve lop ment
of Eco log ica l Agric ultural Processes, for
th e Evergree n Orga nic Fa rm ) I didn' l
know much about th e topi c of guilds.
Eve rything I found in the process was
fasc in ating to me. The fo ll ow in g is a
bri ef ove rvi ew of the points I dee med
mosl important.
There is mu ch more to be lea rn ed
regarding guilds, nol to menti on oth er
eco log ica l ag ri cul ture pra ctices, So
much, in fact, that the abundance can be
da unting- howeve r, underneath every
principl e in permac ullure is beautiful si mpli city. The way one treats the environment essentially beg ins with the way one
treats onese lf. So, I invite you to sati ate
any appetite for know ledge, taking what
you need and leav ing the rest for a more
suitabl e time.

(3) Integrate yo ur system. There's
th is old permac ulture adage th at goes,
" Every element should serve many fun ctions and every functi on should be served
by many e lements," I know thi s is a bit
like some so rt of esoteri c perm ac uit ure
Zen koan (riddl e), but rea lly it ' s a very
simple concept. The element is any thin g
in yo ur garden or house. That could be you,
a tree, the sun your neighbors hole di gg in g
dog, whatever it is if it is so meth ing it is
an element. The f unction is the act of an
clement. Let' s try the tree fo r an example.
Th c tree does some great th in gs fo r yo u.
It provides shade in the summer and lei' s
li ght in to your home in autumn when the
leaves fall. Thi s is a wa lnut trce and so
every yea r yo u get a nice crop of wa lnuts.
So far what has thi s trce pro vidcd? Shade
(or coo lin g). Sun (or warmt h) . And food .
But there is so mcthin g clse th at th is parti cul ar trec prov idcs yo u: Jun gla/7 tox icity. O f th e .Jung Ian family th e wa lnuts all
exude a kind tox in that doesn't allow much
to gro w under it, like mulberri es. Pro blem')
No pe, just an opportun ity for diversity . So
now thi s tree has prov id ed yo u with four
th ings. Shade. sun , food and diversity. You
just bega n yo ur first guild.

day of baseball isn't necessarily derived
from winning,
Facing the Western Washington University Vikings, the Geoducks were the
underdogs before they even left the capitol
city, as the Vikings trampled them 12-8
and 11-0 in their previous match-up last
month, And when the Geoducks arrived
Saturday morning at Joe Martin Stadium
in Bellingham, they were again short of
players, this time bringing only ten,
In the first game of the doubleheader,
the Vikings dominated the first three
innings and scored seven runs, partly in
thanks to catcher BJ, Hickok's three-run
homer at the bottom of the first. They
also allowed only one base hit, by catcher
Wi II Tubman at the top ofthe first. Tubman
would later score the first ofthe team's two
runs, whe~ he managed to steal home on
Viking error. In addition, Tubman picked
up an RBI at the top of the fifth when his
line drive to center allowed outfielder
Whalen DiJlon to score.
Unfortunately, it wouldn't be enough
to either secure a win or keep the Vikings
from dom inati ng the rest ofthe game. The
Vikings went on to score five runs in the
leaves plenty of options avai lable for new
gear, and a great afternoon.

thanks to infielder Michael

Presley supposedly stepped off the mound.
That event prompted strong reactions
from team members and one spectator,
who directed his anger at the discerning
umpire: "You can't even see the rubber
where you're at. That 's a chicken call! "
The highlightofthe game was a sweet
triple play at the bottom of the fourth

Waugh. Afterw&rds, one onlooker commented, "That looks like a real baseball
team out there!"
In the second game, it look like the
Vikings might succeed in shutting out the
Geoducks, but the guys in green managed
to score two runs at the top of the seventh inning. Outfielder Miles Conroy, in
his only time at bat, ran in the first run,
giving Tubman his second RBI of the day.
Then, outfielder Jeremy Harrison-Smith
scored the final run, following a Presley
base hit. And though the Geoducks still
lost 12-2 and 5-2, this was the first time all
season that the team hadn't been shut out
during a series of games. The two team s
were scheduled to play an additional game
the next day, but the Geoducks chose to
forfeit.
The Geoducks finish out the season
with Central Oregon Community College
on May I and 2 at Vince Genna Stadium
in Bend.
Clearly the team 's ability to follow
through and make the necessary plays
has taken a step forward. More players
had base hits (many more than one), the
offense took more risks, the defense made
bigger plays, and the pitching remained
solid. Even some mistakes turned out
okay, Iike when Di lion bobbled a fly ball
right into Villianos' hands. The Vikings'
strengths, however, seemed to lie in their
pitching (or maybe not, as they cycled
through four pitchers in the second game)
and the players' ability to steal bases. But
the Vikings hadn't appeared to change
much, at least not in the same respect as
the Geoducks, whose playing has greatly
improved since the start of the season. It
just goes to show that while the Geoducks
may be walking (talking) clams, they can
control their Dang Hot-ness until the right
moment arises to let it all hang out.
Damn, I love those great baseball
Saturdays! (Rip it!)
