The Background:
Trustees chair and college officials to track
trustee performance and relay important
information.
And if th e governor were informed
that if a trustee does not meet the criteria
determined by state law, the trustee would
be removed from the board immediately.
Chair Roloffassumes no res pon sibility
for tracking the student trustee, nor is she
aware of whose dut y it is. l3ut she says, "11'
thi s were a regular tru stee with a six-year
term , we would have been on it ."
Prior to CPJ inv e~ ti gation , which began
in earl y Febru ary, neither college offi cials
nor the governor's offi ce showed signifi ca nt
indication of concern over the absent student
trustee .
In fact , the governor's office was not
aware of the problem before the CPJ called
to ask questions.
On W.ednesd ay, February 22 , the
governor's office called Carmichael and
asked him to resubmit names for a new
student trustee.
Carmichael does not know why the college did not contact the governor's office.

Experience Ecuador
By Michaellr!1oe
We have an incredible opportunity at
Evergreen that more students could take
advantage of: studying abroad. I spent
the entire last school year in the CIMAS
program ·in Quito, Ecuador and it was an
amazing experience. During the school
year I lived with a family, worked hard
on ~ Spanish, learned about Ecuador's
history and interacted with local organizations . The whole year cost me about as
much as o ut-of-state tuition does here, and
Academic Advising helped me find some
creative ways to finance my experience,
including a scholarship.
During my spring quarter, I did an
internship in which I promoted an ecotourism program with a non-profit organization. I lived on a smalt island just off the
coast, and by the time I left I had developed
a real bond with the community. I felt that
I was able to help the organization, not as
an intruding forei gner, but as a member
of the community who happened to have
. tourism experience.

arc. As with The Shawshank Redemption,
Morgan Freeman uses his calm, observant
narrator's voice to include us in the story.
But it is done effortlessly, so that after a
while, like Shawshank, we feel like pal1
ofa family.
Eastwood's simp le way offilming this
story, both technically and characteristically, creates an effect for a movie that is
subtle and kind of brilliant in its simplicity. It sees its characters with a refreshing
clarity and truth. It abso rbs us, making us
forget that we are watching a film, never
stepping wrong for a second. It is more
like a personal, spiritual experience that

in a different way. It was worth the wait

I can divide my life into two parts:
the period between my birth and the first
time I saw Fugazi, and everything that's
happened since. Few bands better represented the do-it-yourself aesthetic than the
Washington D.C. band: They refused to
play age-restricted venues, kept their ticket
prices to $5 , sold no merchandise and did
it al l whil e making wild ly inventive and
atypical post-hardcore. Their li ve show is,
rightly, the stuff of legend.
The fo cLis of attention, for fan s and
press alike, was on singer and 'g uitarist
Ian MacKaye. Th is was incredibly lazy,
though not without warrant: He had previoLisly sung for the inconceivably influential Minor Threat. MacKaye and the band
helped articulate hardcore's strident political identity in the mid-eighties, and the
vocalist spoke out often and vociferously
on punk's independence from the corrupting influence of the recording industry.
Along the way they wrote a forty-four
second ditty called "Straight Edge" that
may sound familiar to you,
The Evens are MacKaye's new band, a
duo with former Warmers drummer Amy
Farina. Frankly, my little cousin's fourth
grade orchestra could open for them, and
I'd still go. The amount of tal ent on this
bill is staggering, though. Mount Eerie is '
the new moniker of Phil Evelrum's band
previously known as The Microphones:

.as operating local indie-rock bastion K

is about demythologi zing the induslry
and humanizing the people that are in it.
Through presenting people from all areas
in the sex industry who are in it for a whol e
bunch of different reasons, who had a
whole bunch of di fferent experiences, and
it makes it clear that there 's no one experience people have within industry. And the
point of doi ng thi s is that the only people
that really benefit from the mythology and
shame the surrounds the sex industry are
the peopl e that run it , like the cops and the
pimps and the greedy club owners and thc

they had thi s huge dinner made for us.
They were the nicest peopie, they took us
grocery shopping and were super sweet.
The show was so ld out, three hundred
people, and they took us out afterwards.
The gay bar that we went to was probably
the friendliest and most diverse gay bar,
in terms of age and race, that we'd gone
to in the country. It was one of the best
experi ences on the tour, even though the
whole way down we thought we were
going to die.
The only really negative thing to ever
happen was actually in Olympia. Last
year, someone vandalized our posters
around town . Actually, at the University
of Michigan somebody hung up flyers in
the bathroom of the venue listing "the top
ten reasons why the Art Show was antifeminist." They always say it's run by men,
which is so infuriating. I' m the sole director, the person who founded it and runs it.
And I'm pretty sure I' m not a man.

without the teacher 's permission, and the
school made it out to look like they brought
the camera just to make him act the way he
did. Obviously this nut-job acts this way all
the time, so they thought it wise to catch him
in the act for om;e. The teacher has n' t been

Pledges, legality and stupidity
Tuition: Take control, not loans
By Caroline White
COOPER POINT JOURNAL
A few years
down the road,
what kind offood
service would
you like to see
on our campus?
The fi rst and
second weeks of
March, the food
:.cL.._--' se rvic e
lon gterm planning committee, a group made up of
staff, faculty and students, will be discussing
the larger philosophical iss ues surrounding
what kind of a food service we should be
aiming for. This is a call for input. If you have
any ideas in response to the following questions, even ifit is only a line or two, please
email John Lauer (Iauerj@evergreen.edu) or
myself ( iranek@hotmail.com).
For the time being, we are trying to focus
on ends rather than means, although of course
keeping practical matters in mind. The intention is to come to some sort of consensus on
our values. What is absolutely necessary to
fulfill the needs of our community? What
would be nice, but could be done without if
it comes down to the line? What is low on
our priority list?
Some questions have already come up that
will most likely be part of the conversation.
How important to us are issues of sustainability-and what exactly does this mean?
Should food service serve a function as a
community-gathering place as well as simply
a place to fill up?
Is who manages our food service (i.e.,
corporate contract, college-operated, cooperative, etc.) important enough to us to be
considered an end in and of itself, not just
a means to a satisfactory end? Should we
aim to integrate academic programs with
the management of our food service?
Is it reasonable, given the history of
food service at Evergreen, to expect it to
provide quality food at affordable prices,
be open for long hours, and make a profit,
or at least break even? It may not be. Might
students be willing to help cover the cost
of a more desirable food service through
a student fee?
To what degree should food service be
expected to meet the diverse needs of our
campus? Is it reasonable to try to fulfill the
needs and expectations of fast food eaters,
vegans and everyone in between? No one
is suggesting that we stop offering vegetarian and vegan options; the point is that it
maybe impossible to please everyone.
What can we do without?
What other values or goals not mentioned here need to be taken into account?
What is important to you? What elements
do you envision as necessary for a successful food service here at Evergreen?

Eisenhower's battle against the "godless
communists" in the fifties-isn't so much
the point of discussion here because the issue
remains that some people are still unable to
willingly abstain from pledging their allegiance even though the ability to legally do
so has been in place for over 30 years.
The freedom to express oneself in any
manner th at doesn't harm anyone else is one
that came with our Bill of Ri ghts, yet some
American citizens are still unable to choose
to di sagree with the si ll y mottos or pro pagandist salutes that havcn ' t any relevance
to common everyday education. At the very
least, students will learn more about thei r
rights every time some asshole steps up to
deny a fe ll ow classmate the personal right
to choose to di ssent agai nst public opinion,
and through that learn ing ex peri ence , more
can be done to prevent this sort of thin g from
happening in the future.

Flynn saves best game for last
By Kip Arney
By the time you're reading thi s article,
Everg ree n will have already played their firs t

the Coyotes.
O n Friday, Febr uary 18, it was an ugly,
slow-paced game th at had shooti ng slum ps and

of 48 fouls, four playe rs fou ling out wit h fivc

thi nk there were some foul s that WCllt un call ed.

nihilist boy: perpetuating miserable
philosopher stereotypes since 2004
he said God doesn't
existl my life no
longer has meaningl
-
sir, nihilists have been banned from all bars,
in an effort to curb morally deviant behavior
and collateral suicide. suicide's bad for
business, right barkeep?
()
here, have a green fairy
on me and exacerbate
your misery!
but doesn't misery
lead to morally
deviant behavior?
everything leads to morally
deviant behavior. that's why
there are so many laws.
now get in the paddy wagon.
