iron oxide, or rusted nails, is reacted with
acids and magnes ium . This creates a huge
amount of heat and, as a byproduct, makes
iron. As a perk, it 's also really exothermic

food co loring. The coolest ex perim ent ,
though, involved liquid nitroge n. Nitroge n
melts at - 209.95 degrees Ce lsius and boil s
at - 195 .8 degrees Ce lsi us. As such, it is a
good way to make ice cream. To do so,
ice crea m mi x is put into a bow l, and then
li quid nitrogen is poured in . As the liquid
rapidly boil s and eva porates, it freezes the
mix into ice crea m. The kids, though, seem
to get more out of eating ice cream than the

they demonstrated how a clock can be run

It took the Chemistry Club and the

Jon es creates a lot ofheat by reacting iron
oxide with magnesium and an acid. This
reaction is called the Thermite Reaction,
and is often used to create iron from rusted
metal.

Katie Thurman is going to be a senior
next y ear and will be taking Molecule to
Organism. She knows that this is probably
a bad idea, but she sa masochist and really
likes chemistry and biology.

TYPES OF DATES
In thinking about the kinds of dates I would ha;e, Kandi and I dec ided that all dates had to be under $ 15 total. You can do a million things wi thout spending a lot
of money, and let us remember that we are independent men and women. Guys, irs always fl attering for a ladyif yo u pic k up the tab, but Ladi es, we arc independent women and don 't need a man to pay for us. Ladies is pimps too ... so do not forget to buy your date a shot of Jage r, put some hair on his chest and show
him that you can take anything. On that same note, going Dutch is never out of style .

I
•

,
,

Anyway, here are some ideas for dates :
Events (On campus, in the community, shows)
Happy Hour Date ·
Coffee Date
Club Date
Show Date
Or my personal favorite, cooking dinner at your house

!
I

It ~· a big misconception that you have to be alone on your date!i: sometimes it helps
a second date with the person. leave YO llrfriend at home.

ilthere~'

a third person to help direct conversalion. But ifyou decide to go on

PERSONAL CRITERIA
It's !mpol1 ant to really think about what it is you're looking for ill a mate . I dec ided my criteria based on the goals that I have for my life and what I wo uld like to
see In my partn er. I could have made them a lot more .specific, but keeping the m broad all ows for more potential matches.

f.

~

My personal c riteria look like thi s:
I. Ed ucat ioll- I'm go ing places in my Ii fe, and whil e I will be a revoluti onary working woman of the wor ld , I want a man that ca n meet me hal fway. He need s to

RATING SYSTEM

.

.

We created a rating system that is based on what can happen on a date.
I. Persona l Crit eria- How well does thi s person meet all of your personal criteria?
2. Conversation- How were your conversati ons? Were yo u bored? Did yo ur date talk the who le time? Were yo u hanging o tT hi s or her every word? How did
things flO W'1

"

3. Manneri sms/Politeness-Did your date adjust hi s ball s as he opened the door to the restaurant? Did your date bake yo u cooki es the next day as a thank yo u?
Did he bring something to dinner?
4. Sex- Was your date overly aggressive? Afraid of the word sex? Sat on the other side of the room ? Asked yo u in side at the end of the evening?
5. Overall- Would you see thi s person again? Did you want to leave at 7:05 p.m.? Can yo u see yo ur wedding regi stry at Target?

Evergreen student, was rea lly nice and

it. was "see ing so meone ." Whatever, on
to the ne:-;t date.
My second date was with someone I
had already gone out on a date with, and
it was a blast. We spent an evening getting wasted at the Brotherhood before
we headed to the Vault for some quality

All of these are ideas for how you can rate your dates. We like to use a scale from 1-5.

MISSION OF THE DATING PROJECT

QUESTIONS FOR DATE

To empower men and women wanting to take control of their love lives and to empower them to take the steps to
meet other peopl e.

We tried to think of questions, or topics, rather, that I could ask my dates. It's good to look over thi s li st before your date so yo u will have something to talk
about.

GOAL
My personal goal for this project is to learn the dynamics of dating and to empower myself as a single woman to have
fun . But each person should have their own goal, and that is what they should try to achieve in doing The Dating
Project.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW ABOUT THE DATING
PROJECT
You must remem ber that a date is an opportunity to get to know someone better. If yo u think of each date in thi s way,
yo u will have a great time and feel great about yourself.

THE DATES
When thinking about the 10 dates I was to go on, Kandi helped me fi gure out whom those dates should be with. and

For this one delivered a rose.
He told me " Sign here."
His wishes I indulged.
I didn't think of my wearing no clothes.

She's gone out of town for the week.
Yes, her, she's the one! Oh! How can I be sure?

But of those that stay,

There will not be a puzzle thi s week,
but we wi II see you next year for another
great ser ies of puzzles. Until then , here
is some interesting info about last week's
puzzle:
• For a typical 60-year-old Douglas
fir, considered mature and ready for harvest, we can usua lly expect a height of 100
feet , 20 inches at the bottom , and probably
three logs for around 1000 board feet.
• A board foot is measured one foot
by one foot by one inch. An eight-foot 2x4
is 5.3 board feet.
• At today 's market prices. the best
qualit y timber, sold to Japan, will sell
for about $750 per thou sand board feet
(mbf), and the wors1 qual it y, so ld here in
the U.S., wil l sel l for abo ut $550 per mbf.
The mid-qua lit y is sold to other export
markets, mostly Chi na and Korea. We can
expect abo ut a th ird of the timber will.sell
to Japan , and for simplicity, let 's say the
rest is so ld to the U.S. market. When you
do the math, the gross sa les for the first
yea r is $ 1,941.267'
• Spec ialty markets are starting to
grow quickly. Ten years ago, Western red
alder was not worth much , but today good
quality alder is worth $ 1,000 per mbf.

Sudde,! c.hange: a creative
nonfiction tale, Pa'rt 3
By Kip Arney
The campus shuttl e bussed me to the
airport and dropped me off at the sliding
doors. I pretty muc h had the routine down
to a sc ience, as A lbertson College g ives
their students a week long break in between
every ' s ix weeks of classes. And I' ll be
damned if I stayed in Idaho for a wholc
week with nothing to do, so my frequent
flyer mi les began to add up.
Everything was running smoothly so
far. I checked my bags, got my ticket and
now stood in line to pass through sec urity.
This time I actually felt the most comfortable because I didn 't have to worry about
my hearing aid setting orfthe metal detector, as it often did. You know the process,
where they make you take off your shoes
and stand there while they use that stick
thingy to seek out metal. Of course, when
they discover that my hearing a id caused
it to go off, they get all freaked out 'causc
they don ' t know what it is . But that was
all in the past.
I wa lked through and heard no buzz and
thoug ht I was home ' free until I noticed
the conveyor belt with my luggage on it
had stopped. The guy behind the little TV
kept eyeing me like I )lad done something
wrong. I stood at the end , innocently
eyeing him back , which in hindsight I
guess cou ld 've made him more suspicious
of me, but I had to do it to make sure that
ifhe said anything to me, I would be ready
to respond. Finally, my luggage carne out
from under the flaps, and as I reached out
my hand to pick it up, someone beat me
to it. I looked up and saw some heavy-set
guy with glasses and rubber gloves pick up
my backpack and carry it over to a table,
and I frantically tried to remember what I
had put in there.
The man searched my pack unti I he
fished out a box of Mach 3 razors. He lifted
them to my face and scolded me. Actually I
don ' t know what he said because he whis-

etc .. .- but screenwriter Shigenori Takechi
adds another dimension to the drama with
a treatise of not-too-subtle commentary
on the illusory nature of nations, political
class and stability.
Takechi g ive s the lion 's share of
Chomskyan dialogue to the character of
the Prime Minister, played with trademark
deadpan by Beat Takeshi, who calls Izo
"a force of irrationa li ty," threatening hi s
authority. Nakayama 's performance in
the title role utili zes more-than-adequate
physical dexterity, but more importantly,
his face periodically reflects a deep conflict that likens th e character more to the
complex villains of American Psycho and
The Sh ining than run-of-the-mi II s lashers
like Freddy Krugeror Ichi . If you liked Kill
Bill, but thought that movie had too many
scenes that didn 't end with someone's
head getting chopped off, then thi s movie
is probab ly for you.

pered it wit h hi s teeth clenched. What th c
hell was I going to do w ith a box of Mach
3 ra zors? Those things are so damn small ,
not to mcntion the ha ndl e was in th e oth e r
bag that I had already chccked. Was I going
to trike the inch-l ong tripl e bladc and wreak
havoc? I had no doubt in my mind th e guy
with th e gloves took one look at me a nd
mi stook me for a crazy man . No doubt
whatsoever.
And th e a irlin e s hould be a t fault
anyway. They practically promote razor
blades because the y have s lots for used
ones to be thrown away in those tiny lit11e
apartment-I ike bathrooms they have on
those planes. Some even have electrical
outlets. What, are people taking showers
and blow-drying their hair in that thing?
I've never stood outsidc waiting to use the
cubic le and heard the whirr of a hairdryer
on the other side. People joining the m ilehigh club, however? Yes, [ have heard
that.
The man with glasses made me walk
over with him to the trash can so I could
witness my world come 'crashing down as
he threw them away. I dunno why he made
me watch. Maybe he felt like he was saving
the world from another terrorist , because
we all know how they camp out in Idaho
plotting their attack. Remember that all
this is happening in muted silence, so I
simply nodded along until his lips stopped
moving.
He began repacking my things with his
head looking down and then stopped and
looked at me.
" Well?" he asked loud enough so I
could hear him this time.
Shit, he had asked me a question and I
didn't know what it was. I bet if[ explained
the situation he would've repeated the
question but [ tigured [ had a 50/50 shot at
getti ng this 6ght so I went for it. I said yes
and his eyes grew wide as he stared back at
me behind his wiry rimmed glasses.
"You're going to do this again?" he said
loud enough that people began to watch
me sweat.
I BSed my way through the question
just like [ did through high school and said
I had misheard the question and told him
exactly what he wanted to hear. He bought
it and let me go on my way, where I found
my gate and began watching an episode of
Friends on my laptop and waited for my
plane to take me home.

Spice up your summer

The Curmudgeon moves on
By Lee Kepraios
It is with <J
brui sed eg o,
Illu c h re g ret
and a who lc
bun c h
of
cnnu i that I
bid farewell to
a ll who have
read, enj oyed
or hated Th e
Cur/lludge()n these past two years in thi s,
my fi nal C PJ co lumn cver.
It see ms grad uation is upon me, or, as I
call it: The Day I' ll Have to Start Paying
for My Marijuana .
Go ne for me are th e days when I wo uld
wake up in a apoca lypt ic garbage-strewn
dorm it ory I ha ve no idea how I arrived in,
wearing nothing but a crocheted beer can
hat and a banana warmer, stinking of beer
sweat and starchy vomit. Bch ind me are
the une nding Odyssey- li ke ni ghts of close
contact with previous ly unknown yo ung
fem ale fell ow stude nts and the inev itab le
practices o f pulling out and praying every
month that followed those meetings. Never
again willi be so broke that I have to do my
grocery shoppin g by writing disgruntled
lett ers of co mpl aint to tood companies
abo ut supposed "de fective" product s I
bought from them in the hopes that they
wi ll send me a heap of free products.
Li ke it or not, combined with my c lasses
and other ex tra-c urri cul ar interests, my
unpaid work here for the CP J- which,
adm ittedly, I never read- has g iven me a

bad ge of knbw ledge to go on my sleeve
and a needl e and th read made of experience with which to sew it. Or, in the case of
Evergreen , my ex perience here has weaved
me a hemp neck lace of knowledge and
ex perie ncc to be worn around my ank Ie
and left to grow smell y and rot there for
thc rest of my unemp loyed life.
But I assure you all that I will not let my
wri terly gift of deriding things that other
people take seriously and care abou t in a
rude, derogatory and pom pous way go
to waste out there in the rea l wo rld . I
ass ure eac h and every person read ing thi s
paper that I will never stop following my
dreams. Well , my aspirations, reall y. Not
my dreams . I don't rea lly want to follow
my dream s, 'causc a lot oflim e, my dreams
are all crazy and shit and I' m doing something random in them with some random
person and nothing makes a whole lot of
se nse. By "d reams," I don't mean after
I grad uate co ll ege I'm going to build a
polka-dotted sundeck with Bill 0' Rei lIy
under a sky made ortoast. My as pirati ons,
whi ch are purely to make lots of money,
are not my dream s. Scratch the part about
the dreams.
I've done great things in my tim e at
Eve rgreen, some of wh ich I wi II never
forget. I was prolific in tak ing advantage
of many of the programs and opportunities the schoo l had to offer. I was a proud
member of th c ca mpu s improv group ,
hostcd an ill-fated televi sed on-campus
game show, made severa l film s and ran
Mindscree n, the campus film club. I'll
ncver forget those tireless afternoons spent

putt ing up fl ye rs for some obscllfe week Iy
mo vie I was so happy to be showing that
nobod y save for a fe w yo-yos killing tim e
befo re the bu s arrived wou ld stop in to
watc h, barely making enough Il)oney to
keep me in decent ramen lor thc next
few week s. And so I say th ank yo u, S&A
Office, for all th e mcmori es. And the th ree
hundred do ll ars.
But nothing brought me more pleas ure
than writing thi s co lumn, in whi ch I made
mincemeat pies out of some of our campus 's most sac red cows. I met a number of
outstand ing, amazing people here, and I' ve
met eve n more awfu l, narcissist ic, narrow,
unenli ghtened, se lf-rig ht eous people. For
the most part, I've said all I wanted to say
to and about them, as well as all the other
campus practices and standards I' ve nei ther understood nor cared for. I was go ing
to do an artic le on why I don 't bel ieve
being a vegetarian will help yo u li ve any
longer, but it never came to pass. Many
pcople on campus regard their bodies as a
temple, a sac red thing that deserves a kind
of worship . And that's how I knew I was
fucked accord ing to thei r term s the minute
I arrived at Evergree n. I' m an atheist.
Of course, there are no hard feelings.
And I don ' t mean to make it seem as if I
am always hiting the hand that feed s me.
A fter all, what other campus would let a
mi santhropic jackass like me get all thi s
shit printed in the first place?
Besides, I believe that as a person I
have changed much over the past four
years, because I've learned a great deal,
was never afraid to change my opinions, to

be wro ng and, perchance, to fail. Because
I might st ill wake up in a garbage-strewn
do rmito ry sti nkin g of beer swea t and
starc hy vomi t, but I' ll be wear ing only
the crocheted beer can hat. I' ve graduated
from the banana warm er and moved on!
That 's called ed ucation.
But most important is th e knowledge
that I' ve received an ed ucati on that wi ll
never leave me, so that in even in the
year 2049, I can look back on those four
magical yea rs wi th the insight that the
skill s I've learned and the abiliti es I've
developed here will help me make it in
the world, and I wi II be greatl y enriched
by that sati sfaction. Because by that time,
I wiII finally have made enough money to
payo ff my goddamn student loan.
Lee's Final New Rule of the Week:
Feel free to change ! Co ll ege is a time
for being an abrasive, upti ght, politically
correct, falsely hi p, substance-abus in g
dumbass . But th e re's no reaso n why
you should say to yourself, " You know
what? I'm going be a fucking worthless,
lame, in effectua l, hipster, made-up-m y
m ind- abou t-everythi ng, se If-right eous
douchebag for the rest o f my ea rthl y
ex istence." If yo u reso lved yourself to be
some stubborn, unwavering broken record
of your beliefs and practices, never changing, never becoming enli ghtened as new
information comes to light, still harboring
the same childish beliefs of yo ur yo uth ,
yo u' d be ... Bush!

Campus Aramark employees
deserve our support
By S. Annah Shapiro
There have been a series of articl es
lately in the CP J about Aramark campus
food services. The authors have made clear
their reasons why corporate food services
at Evergreen do or do not fit the Evergreen
campus. Proposals for self-operated
or cooperative type of food service on
campus seem to be largely supported by
the students and some faculty. Any discussion of the current food service workers,
many of them by students themselves, is
missing. I do not work at campus food services. I support those who do. They have
a union, the International Longshore and
Warehouse Union Local 5, and some of the
people working there have been there for
over twenty years. Because of the ILWU,
even when the ,food service provider on
campus changes, many of the same workers remain.

They are the ones who deserve our support and all iance. If there comes a time
when Evergreen as an institution decides
to reall y put its weight and support into
establishing a locally-run food service, it
will be the current workers who have the
expertise and experience necessary to help
make it possibl e.
In my conversations with some of the
current student employees, I learned of
some of the tensions between the management at Aramark and the workers. The
union is currently negotiating grievances
with the management about their cu.rrent
contract over a failure to provide vacation pay and several sexual harassment
accusations. Also, another employee has
told me about his concerns that Aramark,
in order to tum a profit, is lowering food
quality without, of course, lowering prices.
This disinvestment in quality has been
documented at Yale University, another
campus where Aramark provides the

before any naughtiness ensues. Handing
over control , particularly when unable to
see or have a full range of motion , can be
scary. Trust and communication are absolutely necessary.
- You 've probably heard of safe words,
Iike "chicken soup" or "d ishwasher." They
don't necessarily have to be that random,
but it 's good to choose something, because
in the context of your roles, "No" or "Stop"
ca n mea n a nyt hin g from " No, Cou nt
Hardcoc k! I'm just a virginal serva nt
gi rl!" to "S top, Mrs. Hot-Ass Teac her!
Don't smack me with that rul er!"
- Dress the part. You may think crotchless pan ties are only for hookers, but they
can be far sex ier than straight nudity. Just
try something new. If yo u usually have
sex in a skirt, try wi th out. But never, ever,
eve r get ca ught naked wea ring socks! It 's
a sure- fire mood-breaker.
-I f yo u're wearing stocking s and a
ga rtcr be lt (w hi ch yo u should- wowzers l ), be sure to pu t your panti es on o w;,.
the garters. Th is way, yo u can remove the
panties when the ti me com es, wh ile still
wearing shoes and stockings. You can lose
the rest of yo ur French maid costume, but
leave those. It will be grcatl y apprecia t<;d,
and if you' re gonna sec yo ur legs in the air,

fo od services.
The campus food ILWU empl oyees'
union contract is up for negoti ation s in
August. There needs to be more of a dialogue and an alliance between workers and
consumers here on campus. Since, at the
moment, Aramark food is our only option
as the on-campus provider, we should use
our power as consumers to communicate
with managem ent that we need to see fair
treatment of workers and more support
for local food products. Though this is
not a long-term solution to campus food
services, it is one which all can participate in immediately, and one that opens
up the lines of communication between
the people who provide our food here on
campus and those who consume it.

You can shower together while making

One summer I worked for this architecture firm. My boss tolo me that I
had to introduce myself at the next
staff meeting, and that people usually said something about their past
architecture experience. I thought
about what I wanted to say all
weekend, and the only thing I could
think of was, "I like robots." "Hello.
I'm Eva and I like robots."
