Campus food theft divides students, administration
By Sam Goldsmith
Sandwiches are being stolen, students
are being arrested, and activists and administrators are not seei ng eye-to-eye. In the
past few week s, at least seven students
have been arrested fo r third-degree theft
at the A ramark cafe on the second floor
of the CAB.
Figures provided by Aramark report a
week ly loss of $1 ,500 due to theft. Police
reports suggest an organized campaign of
" an anti-corporate ge nre" is responsible
for the increase in the ft. One report cites
"a manifesto called Disorientation" as a
publication encouraging corporate theft.
"As far as I know there has not been
any organized shoplifting campaign," says
Mikey Moreri',"' coordinator of Students
Organizing for Food Autonomy (SOFA).
" When administrators and the police say
that, it really demeans a loi of the work
that we 're doing to use the system to get a
more sustainable food serv ice."
The majority of a sampling of students
eating outside the cafe say there is no campaign against Aram ark that they know of,
but don't see theft from Aramark as an
immoral or unethical act. "What goes
around comes around," says one senior.
"Aramark exploits students."
"This is theft on a much grander scale,"
says Moren. " If you ~ant to talk about who
is the real perpetrator of theft on campus,
Aramark is pretty guilty."
Acording to SOFA , Aramark is guilty
of human rights abuse, war profiteering,
homophobia, labor rights abuse, starvation
of prisoners, ties to the oil industry, ripping
kitchens out of dorms and instituting mandatory $500 meal plans for students living
Evergreen hires new officer; second hiring coming up

The Evergreen Po li ce hired Officer
Justin Cripe on March I. They expect to
hire a second officer within two weeks .
The two men were selected from a
group of more than twenty-five appli cants
in a process that started last July.
" It took doubl e the time we would have
expected," sa id director of Police Services
Steve Huntsberry, who facilitated the process.
The typical three-month hiring time
extended to six months due to complications with the interview process, according
to Hunts berry.
The hiring process starts by announcing
the positions in various newspapers and
organizations. From there, applications are

Food service workers discovered evidence Tuesday of the latest in a series of
break-ins ofTESC dining facilities.
The burglars of The Greenery's kitchen
made use of the crawlspace above the ceiling on the first floor of the CAB.
The burglary follows reported overnight
thefts at the CAB cafe and the Library
Coffee Cart over the weekend.
Workers in the greenery on Tuesday
found a broken ceiling tile as well as a
person-sized hole in a firewall that separates the Greenery crawlspace from the
rest of the floor.
Sandwiches and bottles of juice were
taken from the kitchen, where they were
being stored before going on sale the next
day in the CAB cafe . .
" They took way more food than a
single person cou ld eat," said grill cook
Paul Malleck .
The robberies of the Coffee cart and
CAB cafe on Sunday reportedly did not
show signs of forced entry. The Seminar
II Cafe and the HCC market have not
reported any burglaries.
" I think they put up the firewall after
someone broke in a few years ago," said
Malleck. " I don 't think this problem is
goi ng to end any time soon."

department, which eliminates those who
do not meet minimum qualifications. The
remaining prospects undergo a phy sical
agi lity test.
Those who passed interviewed privately
with Huntsberry, who narrowed the selection down to six applicants.
Remaining officers underwent a series
of interviews conducted by a set committee
made up of college police officers Tammy
Stretch and Tony Perez, faculty member
Bill Bruner and Housing staff member
Andrea Seabert. " We try to make it as
diverse as possible," said Huntsberry.
Interviews are specifically designated
for different groups and designed to invite
Evergreen and Olympia community participation.
,
Setbacks arose when an interview session was sched uled during evaluation week
offall quarter. "A lot of people were upset
because they didn ' t have a chance to talk
with the appl icants," Huntsberry said .
A subsequent interview was scheduled
to rectify the situation, but it delayed the
process more than three weeks.
On Tuesday, Marc h 15 , the pending officer, whose na me has not been
released, will begin routine polygraph and
psychological tests and undergo a medical
exarr.ination.
Provided he passes the exam inatio ns,
Huntsberry expects to hire the new officer
by March 21.

CORRECTIONS
Last week, the CPJ ran an article by
Jameeley Pineda about people of color in
the sex industry. Christopher Alexander,
the A&E Coordinator, made three serious
errors in handling this story. The sub title
is misleading; the article was not a review
ofthe Sex Worker's A rt Show, although it
did contain information from the show and
interviews with the performers. Alexander provided the second title. The name of
the program Pineda is enrolled in is Sex.
Gender and Evolution, not Sex, Co lor
and Evolution as indicated in the article.
Although the piece focu sed on peopl e
of color, Alexander chose a photo of a
white person to accompany it. Alexander
deeply regrets the errors, and apologizes
to Pineda.

The Restrool11 Project
By Evan Fortin
Have you noticed the new brochures in bathroom
stall s around campus?
This is the Restroom Project. It is a unique
endeavor on the part of the TESC Office of Sexual
Assault Prevention and other sex ual a nd domestic
violence prevention agencies. The brochures are there
to make information and resources widely avai lable
to you wherever you are on campus. Inside can be
found an abundance of essential information, numbers of both on campus and off-campus resources
for support of many different kinds. Provided are the
numbers of many student groups and campus offices
through which you can find support you need or the
ri ght people to talk w ith. Also, resources like the
24-hour Safe Place Advocacy lin e and information
regarding loca l med ical care including pregnancy and
STD test ing a re provided. There is guidance inside
regarding what to do if you or someone you know
is dealing with sexual assau lt in their lives. Outlined
are your rights as a st udent in regard to the school's
policies on sexua l assault. In the hopes of making
Evergreen a community in which all of its members
ar;,e actively working against sexual violence, th ere
are short but crucial steps listed on how to support
survivors, increase your own safety and build community as well as have respect for one another. We
e ncourage you to pick up one of the new Restroom
Project brochures next time you have a moment in
the bathroom. Look over what is provided to you.
Also feel free to take a few, give them to friends
and keep one for yourse lf.
Thank you for taking th e tiin e to educate
yourself about sexua l violence; the more people
are aware, the safer our community becomes. We
would like to th ank the Diversity Fund for making
this project a reality. We would greatly appreciate
any feedback on what you think abo ut the new brochures . Give us a call anytime at the TESC Office

WHY A SACRED SNUGGLE?
Because we need human contact! We
rarely sit around simply holding our
friends, gently caressing each other, or
engaging in kissing that does not have
strong sexual contact as its goal. Many
of us can benefit from cuddling without
any other goal. We are creating a space
where nurturing is the stated intention
up front. This is an all-inclusive event
focused on celebrating people as people
and allowing ourselves to move away from
limiting gender assumptions. Instead, we
are creating an opportunity to bridge our
hearts together through sacred intentions
and rituals by constructing safe environments where we have the freedom to be
fully present with each other. Everyone
can share in intimate moments or enriched
embraces without the pressures of wondering what the other person 's intentions
might be. Please come with an open mind

In specto r and
a fi fteen-year
veteran of the
United States
Marine Corps ,
Scott
Ritter
s tart ed out by
talking to a
rather large crowd on the ni ght of Friday,
February 18 at the Capitol Theatre in downtown Olympia about patriotism. Patriotism,
he said, is why America is currently losing
the battle in fighting against an unjust war
in Iraq . Ritter is right, as the Bush-league
neoconservatives in this country still managed to win another election despite the terrible and disastrous results produced in Iraq.
Still, the majority of American people seem
to feel some sort of patriotic connection with
our current president, George W. Bush, and
value the way he stood behind us in times
of trouble during and in the aftermath of
Septem ber II , 200 I. I am not one of those
people and think it is horrible that one of the
first things Bush said following 9111, when
Americans asked what they could do to help,
was "Go shopping." This is because Bush
wants us to return to America's usual state
of consumerism and gluttony, the two main
things this country revolves around. As Scott
Ritter sai d Friday night, " We have become
addicted to this lifesty le where we consume
much more than any other nation, and the
amount we consume forces us to have wars
with countries like Iraq, because we need isn 't working; millions around the world
to maintain this hegemonic power in order protested thb I raq war and it's still going on

Moore made in his documentary, Fahrenheit
9/11, that hardly any senators who pass.:d
the act even read it. " Even if they had read
it, how could they reject something called
the PATRIOT Act? It would be unpatriotic."
This shows how, since 9/ II, the Bush-leaguers, who include Vice President Dick Cheney,
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld,
and Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice,
have been able to manipulate not only the
American people into fearing the unknown,
but have also put pressure on senators to vote '
for unjust acts and unjust wars like the current
ones going on in Iraq and Afghanistan . One
Evergreen student asked Ritter during the
Q&A, "What is the fucking difference, Mr.
Ritter, between the current regime in power
now with any other U.S. regime that has been
in power recently?" Then she proceeded to
list the long list of countries the U.S. had
invaded and staged coups or fought wars
in ... "Vietnam, Cambodia, Nicaragua, EI
Salvador, Chile, Czechoslovakia, Indonesia,
Guatemala, Laos, Grenada, Afghanistan and
Iraq." With a list this long it isno doubt the
United States have established themselves as
the world's police force, but as Scott Ritter
pointed out, the reasons for invading Iraq are
as unjust as ever. As Ritter said, "Vietnam is
not my war; Iraq, I feel, is in my time, and
it's my war, and it's got to stop. The fact that
the media and the public believed Bush 's
false claims that Saddam Hussein possessed

say marijuana is a gateway drug. I say beer
is the gateway drug.
. Look at what the ads say. " Red Bull gives
you wings." If that isn 't the most blatant
dealer's pitch I' ve ever heard. " Try this,
man, it'll give you wings, take you higher
than you've ever been ."
I guess what really bothe rs me about the
Red Bull culture is that it all comes back to
the "what 's-your-pl easure" hypocrisy in thi s
country. If your pleasure is the slurry, cheery
buzz of a peach daiquiri or the perking-up
shot to the arm of a Red Bull, you're legal
and accepted. If it's the serene, introspective buzz of a joint or, say, the warm, itchy
buzz of Vicodin, the n you're illegal and
unaccepted .
We love our drugs. We're dependent on
them as an antidote for everything including our boredom and depression and impotence as well the effects of our poi sonous
food supply. When I see people enjoying
Red Bull in a country where, after 9/ 11,
Tommy Chong gets a rrested for se lling
clean urine and bongs on the internet, I get
that old familiar pi ssy Curmudgeon feeling.
To arbitrarily single out certain drugs and
certain drug users as immoral , while others
skate- and some quite profitably, I might
add- is a complete hypocrisy.
Not that I' m saying people who need Red
Bull are drug users who should be singled
out. 1 love drugs . They're a good thing- the
natural ones, anyway. Some of us are merely
addicted to our medication. I believe the s ubstances nature provides for us to get fucked
up on are worlds better than the man-made
chemicals. But really, I don't actually care .
Everybody likes their medication in different
forms, pally.
You know what headline I'm wait in ' to
see down the line? " Red Bull found to cause
erectil e dysfunction." Followed by an ad that
says, "Ask your doctor if Red Bull is ri g ht
for you."

Your best bet for hitting the sweet spot in
the sack is for her to be on her back with a
couple pillows propped under her tush. Get
on top, put her legs over your shoulders and
go at it! This may seem a bit uncomfortable,
but it really isn't and feels incredible . This
position is good to try after you've already
been at it for a while, because it puts you very
deep inside her. If done too soon or if she isn't
well-lubricated, it could be uncomfortable.
3) Post-Coital Cunnilingus?
It's your first time with a girl. Sex was
good. You've just come. How do you seal
the deal and know she'll be back for more?
Offer to go down on her! Sound icky? Get
over it. This will make you seem generous
and comfortable with her body. She'll see that
you don't only care about your own sexual
pleasure.

Imagining the Past She thinks Doritos are
the least sexy food in the world.
There
are
a number of
m isco ncept ions
among the student body regarding the work of
the Enrollment
Growth DTF .
I would like to
D!.:!=;...::.,.:...-_--.:~ take thi s opportunity to address some of the more glaring
ones.
First: the myth that this college has a
choice to grow or not grow. In fact, with
the construction of Seminar II, the College
accepted the condition set upon it by the State
Legislature that the population of the college would expand to 5,000 students by the
2014-15 academic year. This growth will not
be all at once, for fear of diluting the student
population and core values of the college, in
addition to putting undue stress on college
support offices. Rather, this growth will be
spread out across the next ten years.
Second: All growth does not have to-and
likely will not-take place solely on the
Olympia campus. Concerns regarding the
utilization of space across all campuses
are fully justified, though the impact of
these proposals on space utilization is currently unknown. Several proposals exist to
expand the offerings of Tribal ang Tacoma
programs, as well as expanding the base of
EveninglWeekend studies, though the bulk of
the proposals focus on expanding Olympia
campus offerings.
Third: that this proposed growth lies outside of Evergreen's usual growth rate. Over
the past 20 years, the College has grown an
average of 90 FTE per year. FTE stands
for Full-Time Eq uivalency:and is th e
measure by which the State Legislature
mandates growth. An undergraduate FTE
is actually slightly less than Eve rgreen's
full-time credit load- IS credits rather than
16. Graduates, however, have an FTE of
10 credits. One of these FTEs represents
a si ngle student taking a full-time credit
load. If we apply this rate of growth over
the ne xt ten years, the College wi II reach
5,000 students by the 2014-15 academic
year. The role of this DTF is to shape
that 90-student-per-year growth in ways
consistent with the College 's core val ues
while still providing a workabl e budget to
the college administration .
I realize that this is not a comprehensive list of misconceptions present among
the student body. The DTF is fully aware
that the leve l of student involvement in its
process needs to be addressed. I will be
working with the new student representative on the DTF, Rachel Willi ams, in order
to increase the number of opportunities that
students have to provide input into the process. As always, however, such opportunities are dependent upon students wanting to
be involved in this process. By all means,
don't wait for the DTF to hold conversations with students-have your own conversations. Kick around ideas, express your
concerns, then contact me-l want to know
what you think.

Letters to the Editor
The food is better here
than at Hartford
By Nathan Hadden
In response
to a follow-up
article last year
about our new
food company,
Aramark, as a
corporation,
I had complained about
the food service because it was mostly fast food at the
University of Hartford. It was the same
meal every Monday, and th en the ne xt
Monday, but rotated dail y. I would like to
say the food is a Iittlc better; however, I
still feel thaI the corporation can improve.
One thing I do not like is that you have to
pay to go into the Grcenery downstairs. It
is a social fru stratio n, beca use if you want
to eat with a fri end and take yo ur ow n fo od
in . yo u cann ot, but I hea r t hey are going to
try to improve it.
The food service here is better than the
University of Hartford 's, though, which
I was complaining about as a company,
and I feared that at The Evergreen State
College rhe food service would be the
same. I would like to say that my fear is
somewhat still here, but the food , to me, is
of better quality because 'it is not totally a
boring taste and as expensive, though I fear
that Evergreen picked Aramark because of
its cheaper price rather than fully looking
into the full options. I would hope that the
idea to have a student-run food service or
a non-corporate company might be something that will be looked into in the future ,
for Evergreen is about non-corporate ideas
and projects.

Evergreen administration

By Mikey Moren
Student s
Org a ni z ing
for
Food
Autonomy
(SOFA)
be I ieves that
the practice of
arresti ng students caught
shoplifting
from food service should stop immediately. SOFA endorses the use of the
grievance process to deal with such issues;
the utilization of the police is completely
unnecessary. Students that are convicted
will have a permanent record following
them for the same action taken by countless students on a regul ar basis.

Aramark 's questionable policies extending
beyond this campus, the food service itself
has rai sed ' many complaints. Required
meal plans for first-year students living
on campus amount to little more than
corporate thievery. All on-campus firstyear students are required to pay for a
meal plan, the least expensive costing
,$500/quarter, regardless of if they want
or will use a meal plan. The food , often
of poor quality, is shockingly overpriced.
How is it that the exact same bottled juice
is avai lab Ie at the local co-op for a dollar
less? Students are di sappointed with
Aramark and di sillusioned by an administration that has not Iistened to concerns
and alternatives to corporate food service.
We ask that the admini stration not allow
Aramark to bypass the grievance process.
