Don't get lost in the woods or
the library. Don't get lost in the
hustle of seminar p r or u rage drinking. Ac; onentat10n week
commences, you may find yourself
wondering how seniOr Greeners
perceive this wondrously beautiful
campus and its activities. This sassy
guide articulates that perception
with sardonic tips and anecdotes
that aim to help you find your way
amongst the wily conifers and

Guide to downtown
Olympia
Nevennind the looming beauty ofMt.
Rainier over the eastside of Olympia.
Some days the mountain glows with the
setting sun the way David Bowie's hair
did in Labyrinth, some days the gloom
of gruesome clouds and really wet
rain hides Rainier from sight. Expect
downtown Olympia's gathering places
and events to be as mercurial as the
mountaintop view. This guide provides
you with a quick introduction to the
indispensible downtown destinations
that rock, feed and infonn.

vma- registration in
Ne\V gender neutral restroorns for ne\Vyear
by NICOLE LAMB
Evergreen's unique structure of education challenges its students not only to
learn the material but often to implement it
as well. Whether in the community or on
campus, students are given the opportunity
to work for the planet or for other people in
hopes of improving the quality of life for
all.
This is why social justice can be such an
important part of Evergreen and student
life. To reflect this, new things spring up as
students bring new ideas for the community.
The Organic Farm and Eggplant Cafe are
but two examples of student-run efforts:
In the fall quarter, Evergreen Facilities
will be implementing a test run of a student
led effort to bring more gender-neutral rest-
Flaming Eggplant's
kick-offparty
The Flaming Eggplant Cafe, a studentrun cafe initiated by students, will open
Winter Quarter 2008. Last spring, the
student body voted to pay a one-time fee to
get the Eggplant started. Now ... WE WANT
YOU! The Eggplant is looking for motivated, committed students who want to get
good, local and organic foods to campus.
We have opportunities for internships,
hands-on leadership, sustainable business
experience, local food networking and
much more! The Flaming Eggplant will be
hosting a Kickoff Party on Friday, September 28 at 4:00 pm in CAB 110. Come for
music, dancing, the chance to meet new
people, and getting ·down in general. On
Monday, October 1 at 3 pm, there will be
a new member orientation meeting on the
third floor of CAB in the Student Activities
back computer room .
rooms to campus. Evergreen is no stranger
to gender-neutral restrooms and already has
several of them around campus. All singleoccupancy restrooms in Seminar II, one per
floor of every building, will be converted
to be gender neutral. The previous set-up of
the single occupancy allows the switch over
to require little more then a sign change.
Gender-neutral restrooms are a growing sight in a place where restrooms can be
divided strictly between men and women
but it is still an unfamiliar concept to many
people. Gender-neutral restrooms are an
alternative that provides a safe space for
everybody who wishes to use them. Restrooms have been known for their continuing history of being a place of violence
and oppression for many people from a
wide range of communities and identities.
By creating a gender-neutral restroom, one
creates a single occupancy lockable area
where the patron may have the privacy and
safety a person may need. The area contains
all of the amenities that a regular restroom
has, such as a sink and toilet, and follows
the Americans with Disabilities Act regulations for restrooms.
As the gender-neutral restrooms are
a test, Facilities is interested to know the
responses to the change. All students,
faculty, staff, and visitors are encouraged to
fill out surveys and to give any positive or
negative feedback they might have on the
restrooms.
Ni cole Lamb is a Senior enrolled in
interm ediate Spanish, beginning ASL, ballet, and an independent contract on gender
studies.

For new students, or for returning students
moving off campus, changing voter registration records is critical, especially during
election years. Voter registration forms are
at the city hall, the Thurston County Auditor's Office-Elections Division, the local
library, at state and federal agency offices,
and at all fire stations. The addresses of
some of these places are:
I) Timberland Regional Library: 313 8'h

2) Fire Department Headquarters: 100

8 ~ ORIENTATION WEEK
Cooper
Point Journal
...................................................
SEPTEMBER 14,2007
A preview of orientation week events
Orientation week is loaded
full of chances to meet
professors, tour the campus,
and discover ways you can
~et involved in projects servIng the Evergreen community. Here are just a few
highlights:
Monday, September I7
From 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. students are
invited to hear from program faculty, pick
up a syllabus and get ahead on expected
readings. Most Lower-Division, Core and
All Level programs will meet in spaces
spread out across Seminar II. Knowing
Nature, a core program, meets in Lecture
Hall 3.
Tuesday, September x8
From 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. tour the organic
farm facility. A group will meet· at the
clock tower and check out the farm's ongoing projects. Find out about recycling,
composting, permaculture, chicken maintenance, food production, community
gardens as well as waste reduction. The
farm walk will meet again at the same time
on Thursday.
Wednesday, September
I9
Meet at Noon at the base of the clock
tower to join Evergreen's Center for
Community-Based Learning for tours of
local service organizations. The event,
known as Community to Community,
includes travel around the South Sound on
Intercity Transit, and opportunities to take
action for the community.
Volunteers will contribute hundreds
of hours to local groups and be back on
campus in time for supper. You can help
by painting rooms at Community Youth
Services, an Olympia youth resource
center. Or, harvest fresh produce at local
farms with the Gleaners Coalition. Thurston County Solid Waste needs indoor help

BY JOSHUA KATZ
The Evergreen Survival Guide, AKA
Things you will find Out in A Required
Orientation Session but instead you should
read this and try to get class credit!
Shelter: You cannot live in the woods,
foraging for nuts and berries and making
cozy leaves under fir branches for warmth.
Thankfully, to curb the mortality rate,
Evergreen offers these things known
colloquially as "dorms." Whether you live
in the Soup or the freshmen dorms, it's an
alternative to your admirable but untenable
fancies. If you are a dorm dweller, the
HCC (Housing Community Center) is the
place if you're looking to do laundry, grab
a falafel, and play a little ping-pong.
Food: All biological systems need energy,
and Taco Bell is too far to walk. What are
you going to do? In the olden days (like last
year), many of the dorms had kitchens so
you could prepare whatever you wanted.
Now, to eat on campus, one is essentially
required to get a meal plan of some kind.
Thanks Aramark! Luckily for Aramark's
shareholders and you, the dining hall
is located on the first floor of the CAB
(Community Activities Building), an a Ia
carte cafe is located on the second floor,
and a coffee shop is located on the ground
floor of the SEM II B Building. Vending •
machines can also be found all over campus
and both the Bookstore an.d HCC have food.
Financial Aid: At some point in your
illustrious college career, you will be
required to come here and beg for enough
money to buy at least 3 of the 10 books
required for your "Interpretative Pottery
in the pre-Baroque 19th century and What
\t Means to Me" program. They're pretty
1ice, and if you look sad enough, the
CRC
IT
LAB I
Recreation Center

Arts and Sciences
financial aid counselors will give you a
decorative pen. One of the reasons they
are so nice is because they know they
have all the power. Remember this. In
fact, now the SEM I building also houses
the Health Center, where you will go
when that mysterious rash creeps up, and
the admissions and scholarship office,
where you can apply for a scholarship for
. wearing duct tape. The Health Center also
gives out materials and resources (like
condoms, dental dams, etc) to prevent
sexually transmitted diseases, including the
baby disease. USE THIS RESOURCE!
Library: Oh the library building! You know
you're going to have a good time when
the roof has its own set of multi-colored
Vegas-style pyramids. This building is a
very important one. It contains not only
the afore-mentioned library, but also a
huge computer lab, academic advising,
the visual arts studios ... I get dizzy just
thinking about it. You can find it by looking
up, seeing an enormous clock tower, and
then walking in that general direction.
Don't Be a Slacker: Remember how
your parents and guidance counselor and
preparatory guides and that dude selling
Faux-lexes on the comer and pretty much
everyone you've·ever met who heard you
were going to college told you, "You only
get out of college what you put into it, so
get involved," or some variation of that.
They shouldn't have badgered you, but it
is absolutely true. Anyone who tells you
differently spent their college life drunk or
stoned, and as fun as that can be you are
going to be really mad at yourself if you
look back later in life and all you remember
are the various places you passed out and
what was stuck/drawn/now part of your
face when you woke up. The CAB and
the CRC are right next to one another,
LAB II
LC
LH
Arts and Sciences
Longhouse

LIB
SEMI
SEM II
so you won't get lost going between
your racquetball session and the Flaming
Eggplant meeting. Top floor of the CAB
is the Student Activities office: everything
you could possibly want to do can be
found here, and on the off chance it's not,
you can start your own club. Likewise,
the CRC has an indoor swimming pool
and offers rotating classes every quarter,
so when you get bored with dodge ball,
you can play soccer. It's a win-win.
Nature: There are, like, 8 billion trails
around Evergreen. Seriously. However,
since I know you like to preserve the
majesty of nature, we'll stick to the
campus-recognized ones and save blazing
our own for a contract junior year. Behind
the library or the Soup, there are magical
wooded walks down to Geoduck beach.
That's right: a beautiful woods walk to
the splendor of sand and salt water. No
nudity is permitted on the trails, although
what they don't know won't hurt them.
My Unsolicited Opinion, or Shut Up and
Listen to Someone Older and Wiser: A
couple of general suggestions: First, if you
want to survive you have to go to class.
This is not the kind of thing where you can
expect credit from a program when you
never even show up. A lot of people try to
pass this off as being just a normal part of
Evergreen- "Oh, it's like way chill here,
man. You don't even have to go to class
unless you like, want to"- but they are lying
to gain your trust and then beat you up for
your lunch money. Come evaluation time,
you will be screwed and-your faculty will
not care unless you make an effort. College
is basically like high school with smoking
tents and no 'disciplinarians roving the
halls, so it's up to you not to fade into the
woodwork. Secondly, be nice to campus
security. They are very nice people and
Library
Seminar I
Seminar II
treating them as if they're inherently evil
will not be clever when you meet up in a
dark alley ... or Red Square, whatev. The
store at the HCC has good stuff, but you'\\
probably notice it's a little expensive. And
by a little I mean a lot. Check out the Oly
Survival Guide and plan a trip to one of
the suggestions in there instead to save
yourself some scratch. Lastly, and this is
the only genuine advice I can give anyone
about Evergreen: do not take anything
at Evergreen too seriously, or you are
doomed. Obviously, you shouldn't laugh
at everything, but the second you start
getting a little too into it, your days are
numbered. Good luck and Godspeed.
Now that I've told you all about the
Campus, I'lllet you know how to escape
it like a house on fire. I call the best escape
plan BBC- bike, bus or car. If you have a
car, this section doesn't really apply; I have
a car and although that makes me nominally
evil, driving has made navigating TESC
smooth sailing. For those of you pious
individuals who do not have ready access to
an auto, take the bus! It's free if you flash a
student ID (or whatever, if you left your ID
at home) and it will take you everywhere
you want to go. The bus loop is by the
SEM II E building and the Soup has a bus
stop by Overhulse Road. The Bookstore
also has handy free guides to the Intercity
Transit network. As for bikes, they're just
great, aren't they? And did you also know
that there is a bike shop on campus that can
help with anything? Go to the basement
of the CAB to find out more! Olympia
and beyond is waiting, so it's time to blow
this popsicle stand and go downtown.

A Guide to the Biggest Little
City of Your Life
by JOSHUA KATZ
Olympia is a magical, magical place. The
sights, the sounds . .. the smells. You win,
because the 41 and 48 buses go downtown
like every twelve seconds. So, get ready,
because you're about to open the door to
the best place in the universe, or at least the
best southeast Puget Sound township larger
than 100 people. Oh, and it's also the capitol
of Washington for all you geography nuts!
The Freshmen Fifteen is Not a
Punchline: the food downtown is wicked
good. Like wicked in the sense that after
eating at Lemongrass and The Reef and
Old School Pizzeria for a month, you wi ll
realize that you blew your tuition money
and you have to start wearing parach ute
pants that are made of actual parachute. But
it was totally worth it. Here are some of the
best places, in my not-too-terribly humble
opinion.
1.
Old SchoolP.izRria:
108 Franklin St. All I can say is everyone
loves pizza, and they are even veggie/vegan
friendly.
The Reefl2u 4t1tAvenue
2
w.
It seems to be a game in Oly to diss on
the Reef's food, but to secretly eat there
like every day. That's because it's so cheap,
pretty tasty, and looks like plastic. Enjoy.
3.
Le '\byeur: 404 4tlt Ave.
Bringing new depth to the phrase "To be
seen and not heard", Le Voyeur is the place
to go for the achingly hip and those seeking
delicious. reasonable entree options. Bring
righteous attitude and you' II be set.
4.
Lemoograss: 2D.f..AveaoeE.
Thai food is soooo good. The fact that
Lemongrass is a little pricier than say,
Denny 's, shouldn 't stop you from partaking of its splendor. Angel 's is good too- try
the Panang curry.
5.
Th.eOlympJaCo-()p.
Eastside at pn Pad&cA'ftlllle
ad'Westside at 921 Bogen
Stn:rr.t.
Although not downtown yet, the Oly CoOp is simply the only place you should
shop for groceries. Do it.
Get Laid by Appearing Intelligent and
Sensitive: I suspect that the real backbone
of the downtown economy is sustained by
coffee shops and bookstores. If you want
to get noticed, buy a conspicuously worn
copy of Marx or Hegel and head on down
to B & B or Cafe Vita. You'll be amazed at
how a sedentary day reading and sipping
espresso will get you the cool points. The
creme de Ia creme follows :
6.
BatdorfaadBromoa(B
at B): p6 Caplco1'\liay S.
Big, airy, lots of light. Good place to meet
up with friends and discuss how the previous day of lounging went.
7.
Oral Books: S09 4*Av-
eaueE.
Maybe the best bookstore featuring a literate whale ever. Check out the Maps section
for a good time.
8.
They roast their own coffee and they
are not afraid to talk about it here. They
also have a rocking collection of games,
so whenever you feel a Trivial Pursuit or
Boggle binge coming on, head over here.
9.
Last Word Books: 2D 4tlt
Avenue E.
Also a really great bookstore. Right across
the street from Cafe Vita, so ease of travel.
Everything the eager beaver political
science student needs to get angry about
the state of the world.
10.
Dumpster\Woes: D7
WashiDgton Street.
This is neither a coffee shop nor a bookstore, but you also have to look good while
you're in Oly. Dumpster Values has all the
ironic t-shirts and festive scarves Olympia
demands.
Follow Your Feet: Walking in Olympia is
fun for the whole family, so head over to
these destinations and have a wild time.
11.
Two miles north of downtown lies Priest
Point Park, or as I like to call it, awesome.
Walking through the woods here almost
feels like being in pre-history, I half expect
a Velociraptor to start chasing me at any
second. There are also swings and a really
classy rose garden, if that's what floats your
schooner.
Aural Pleasure Shakes the Masses: You
may have heard about the music scene in
Olympia. Everything you heard is probably
an understatement. This little hamlet is all
about the Sound and the sounds, and here's
the skinny.
CafeVita:124 4• Ave:aue
E.
The Capitol Campus:
You know, that big dome thing you can
see from anywhere from a 5-mile radi us.
It's especially beautiful/creepy at night,
and there are lots of fountains and statues
and legislators to hang around. Just don 't
trespass or you will have to become some
Congressperson's "bitch."

The new Tender Forever record on Olympia's K label is called Wider. Two years
ago, on her first solo record, Melanie Valera
created a sound totally her own. Blending
anxious acoustic guitar strumming and raw
emotion with drum machines and catchy
harmonics, The Soft and the Hardcore was
some kind of DIY R&B miracle.
Despite the magic of gorgeous tracks like
"Hot" and "Make Out" on record, the rise
of Tender Forever has come thanks to her
amazing live performances. Getting her
start as a street performer in Bordeaux,
France, Melanie Valera became Tender
Forever in 2005. Over 250 shows in two
years with indie artists like The Blow and
Anna Oxygen allowed her to touch down in
Olympia several times. One of her biggest
local shows yet was at the Capitol Theatre
Homo A Go Go last summer. Somebody
posted footage of it online. Wow.

Records released The Soft and the Hardcore, Warp Records released Multiply by
Jamie Lidell. Both records stamped soul
with a stylized supersonic brand of sexy.
The thing about Lidell is he seems to be
winking along with the music, pushing
R&B as far out to the digital extremes as
possible. He's undeniably talented. But

Do yourself a favor and listen to the sounds
of Sleeping People. No, this is not an article
about snoring or the heavy breathing noises
people often make during the times they are
not awake. This is an article that deals with
the noises people often make while awake,
noises strummed and drummed.
Growing, set to release on October 9, is
the second full-length album by the San
Diego four-piece Sleeping People. Jolieah
Maddock, Kasey Boekholt, Brandon Rheif,
and Kenseth Thibideau make up the quartet.
As such, they lead the listener, inspiring the
curious with "Centipede's Dream." The
shipwreck feeling of "Mouth Breeder"
evokes different images, with a lot of guitar
and consistently crashing drums that conjure
a ragged shoreline and crashing ships. It is
the longest song on the album at 8:54; this
time is utilized to change pace and tone
even allowing for a long drift in the middle.
As a drift of fog, the long stretch allows the
progression into more subdued sound.
" ... Out Dream" enters the ears predominated by a consistent rhythm with various
electronic sounds mingling and merging.
"Three Things" brings a more pressing feel
to the music. The song is urging, beckoning, and circular. The notes are deceivingly
straightforward; they are grouped and woven
aptly. It is variety in simplicity. "Underland"
is a storm, including chimes, while the wind
dies at the end. Moreover, as the wind dies,
a rhythm like a heartbeat begins, which
becomes the opening for "Its Heart Loves
Open." The last track on Sleeping People's
new album is "People Staying Awake."
The normally all-instrumental band brings
lyrics into the last part of the finale, "People
Staying Awake." Their music is simplicity
well woven into complexity.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2007
Welcome Greeners!
by CASEY JAYWORK
Welcome to Evergreen.
We haven't met, but the
Green Spectrum principle predicts an inverse
relationship
between
your parent's affluence
and your hometown's
proximity to Olympia. You probably don't
bathe as often as the average American, and
have some manifestation of Bob Marley/
Che Gueverra on your shirt/wall. You definitely get high.
Welcome to the school without grades.
This can be a boon or a curse, depending as
much on how you look at it as what you do
with it. The "evaluation" system; it's basically libertarianism applied to college credit.
Assuming (as Evergreen does) that your
professor is impervious to favoritism, laissez-fair grading casts you and your faculty
negotiating a contract and payment: learning for written praise, work for advancement, back-scratch for back-scratch. Like
any market, your return is proportional to
your investment. Like any free trade, you
don't get ahead by lounging.
Okay- this may not apply to art
programs.
The thing about this school is thatacademically-it doesn't hold your hand.
Remember Mrs. Crabtree in the third grade
telling you that you had to get your arithmetic skills up before your could pass on
to fourth? You won't find that here; someone saying "prerequisites" is a tip-off that
they're discussing another school. Hell, I
can't even competently perform algebra,
much less high school geometry. Then
again, what does that matter to a philosophy
student? No prerequisites is not a fault per
se, but a double-edged sword: an opportunity to cut the bullshit, or wallow in it.
Something the grownups tell you- but in
the same voice they told you not to do drugs
and be a good christian, so it amounts to not
saying anything- is that someday, the bill
collector is going to come and demand you
live on your own two feet. You can postpone
that payment by enrolling in postmodem
literature and interpretive
evicted to sleep in a room with fifty other
people and a pizza. For your own safety, of
course.
(If nothing else, you've got to hand it to the
administration for nurturing their market

Jess financially dependent- half of their

More than anything else, refuse mediocinform you that you're being temporarily rity. The single worst thing about Evergreen
is the culture of apathy and symbolic action
here. I remember during the summer seeing
a large group of students marching around
Red Square with signs and shouts of protest
with no one else there. They were protesting to nobody (and, despite several minutes
of study, I couldn't even figure out what
they were protesting). Don't be one of those
people. On the other righteous fist, everyone bitches and moans about the food on
campus, yet the Eggplant Cafe has yet to
get off the ground. (Maybe a protest would
help).
As the cliche goes, "You can't change
the world, but you can make a dent." I'm
not haranguing you to overhaul the culture
of apathy and political correctness that
wallows in its own filth at Evergreen singlehandedly. I am telling you that no matter
where you go, and especially here, the ability and responsibility to shape your destiny
falls squarely upon your own shoulders.
Refuse to be less than great, whatever that
means to you.
To summarize: Don't take bullshit classes.
Don't get crunked at the expense of schoolwork. Don't live on campus or get a meal
plan (tell them you keep Kosher). Don't
allow anyone's enlightened sensibilities to
curtail your opinions or expression. And,
just to balance the milieu of radical liberalism you're about to experience, read Atlas
Shrugged, if only to bitch about it. May the
Force be with you.

Congratulations! You J

survived

yourself in the best way you see fit. No
doubt, upon announcement of your decision
to attend Evergreen, you had to fend off the
same questions all of us did to justify our
decision to our peers, family, etcetera. "No
grades?" "What are you going to do with
that degree?" "How will you get into grad
school?"
But you're here, and you're stoked (or
you should be, at least). Now all you've got
to do is maintain that enthusiasm for your

EVERGREEN'S STUDENT NEWSPAPER
By receiving the CPJ at home, you can keep up to date with what issues are
important to Evergreen students.
•
The CPJ is very different from other college newspapers.
Any and every student can contribute content (an opinion piece, a comic, a
news story, a photo, etc.) and the CPJ staff compiles it into a newspaper each
week.
Again, very different but truly representative of students.
The CPJ is published Thursdays during Fall, Winter and Spring quarters.
Your subscription helps fund learning oprotunities for students.
Order now by check or credit card to start receiving the CPJ!
Yes! I would like to subscribe for one full year, a total of 28 issues!
