Super
Saturday
by JASON SLOTKIN
After nearly 30 years, Super
Saturday, the festival held
annually in June, will be
retired due to the cost of funding and operation.
The festival has operated
at nearly a $20,000 deficit.
According to Art Costantino,
Vice President of Student
Affairs, the festival's costs
are greater than the amount of
revenue it generates.
According to Costantino, the
decision to retire the event
comes at a time when everything is looked through the
"perspective" of "reducing
spending".
Evergreen Vice Presidents
and President Les Puree, the
group, who made the decision,
talked and discussed retiring
the event for several weeks,
according to Vice President
of College Advancement Lee
Hoemann.
According • to Costantino,
costs include paying overtime
to the staff that organize and
prepare the event.
The amount of staff power
required to prepare, organize,
and hold the event figured into
this decision.
Super Saturday was started as
a way for Evergreen to connect
to the Olympia community.
"There was a time that [Super
Saturday] seemed liked the
only time we were rubbing
shoulders with the community," said Hoemann.
Super Saturday was held
the day after graduation and
featured live music, arts, local
vendors, and a beer and wine
garden.

Attem.pt to sell gun
against state law
fry MADELINE BERMAN
On January 27, an AR-15 rifle
was posted for sale on the Gun
Club listserv. It violates school
policy to sell anything over a
school-sponsored listserv or
mailing list.
According to the Gun Club
listserv posting, an associate of
the club wanted to sell the gun,
which had only been fired several
times. The asking price for the
firearm was $650.
"It's not a craigslist," said Aaron
Powell, Director of Computing
and Communications. "If you're
unsure about your postings, check
the statutes."
According to Powell, listservs
and mailing lists hosted by The
Evergreen State College are state
resources and individuals may
not profit by them. The policy
regarding what may not be posted
on the school-sponsored listservs
says that ''unethical purposes,
including private outside business or political purposes unless
authorized under the Ethics in
Public Service Act or rules of
the Executive Ethics Board" are
prohibited. The policy reinforces
Washington state law RCW
42.52.160, which forbids the
use of state property for "private
gain of the officer employee, or
another."
Dan Shelly, Gun Club coordinator, said that he had not been
made aware of this policy until
February 10, when he received an
email from Andy Com, Assistant
Director of Student Activities.
''Nobody ever told me what
the policies were," Shelley
said. "[Com] wrote that selling
anything on school listservs is
against school policy."
According to Shelley, he
received about seven responses
to the posting, mostly inquiring
about purchasing options.
"If everyone on the listserv had
contributed $5.60, we could all
own it."
The Gun Club meets Thursdays
at 5 p.m. in CAB 108 and at 12
p.m. Sundays at the clock tower.

THE EVERGREEN COLLEGE CAMPUS SAW SEVERAL
INCHES OF SNOW TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10.
Budget Information now available
on Evergreen website
fry JASON SLOTKIN
The Evergreen State College
has set up a website to serve as
an information resource about
the upcoming budget. The
website URL is http://www.
evergreen. edu/budget.
"I was to create a centralized
place where people can find
most of what they want in one
place," said Todd Sprague,
Director of Marketing, Communications and College Relations. Sprague's department
responsible for maintaining the
website. The website features
proposed Budget Scenarios for
all the divisions on campus, that
can be viewed by logging onto
the site with an Evergreen web
login ID.
Along with the divisional
budget scenarios is a campuswider scenario. This scenario
contains cuts and changes, such
as tuition hikes, that are not
specific to one department.
The website features a form
that allows visitors to submit
their questions and ideas.
Questions are received by and
answered by Sprague with the
assistance of others on campus.
Ideas are sent to Steve Trotter_
The response to both of these
are posted on the website.
According to Sprague, getting
the answers to questions posted
has been slower. Sprague said
that
similar questions
are
grouped together, and more
comprehensive questions get
answered sooner.
According. to Sprague, the site
provides a place where questions and ideas can be addressed
and submitted, and where information about the budget can be
obtained.
The website went live on January 14 and is continually being
updated.

DARBY'S CAFE
CO-OWNER TO
SPEAK ABOUT
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Sara Reilly, Evergreen
alumna and entrepreneur of the popular
downtown cafe, will
share her business
experience at the
next CSE student
group meeting
by BEN ANDERSON
Center for Sustainable Entrepreneurship (CSE) will have at its next
meeting Sarah Reilly, 2001 Evergreen
grad and part-owner of Darby's Cafe
in downtown Olympia. This is a great
opportunity to be exposed to an Evergreen alumna entrepreneur.
A lot of us know of or have eaten at
Darby's, but if you are interested in the
mechanics of why and how it got started,
come to the CSE meeting Wednesday,
February 18, at 2 p.m. in Sem II A2109.
A quote from the Evergreen Alumni
Entrepreneur's website states that
Darby's strives "to offer a balanced fare
for vegans, vegetarians and non. Made
from the freshest and best quality ingre-
dients, not from a can or box. Fresh foods
prepared and cooked individually for
each order. In doing so, we are not a fast
food restaurant. Be patient and enjoy"
( www. evergreen. edu/ alumni/ entrepreneurs/businesses/reilly.htm).
This is an excellent business model
to follow for all those concerned about
providing the best-quality food and
supporting vegan and vegetarian diets.
The CSE is a student-run resource
center located in CAB 320 cubicle 14.
We provide numerous resources for those
interested in starting their own business
or nonprofit. Our resources are free and
available to all students, and include
books, magazines, pamphlets, and opportunities to speak with business owners or
nonprofit directors to see if entrepreneurship is for you.
CSE is a new student group that needs
your help to grow. We are looking for
students who are interested in supporting sustainable entrepreneurship in the
community. We need people who are
savvy with making banners, updating
and creating websites, making flyers, and
promoting the group on campus. We are
an exciting group, so please contact us at
cse@evergreen.edu for more info.
Ben Anderson is junior enrolled in
Advanced Foundations of Successful

Washington State
partnership bill
meets 'one man,
one woman'
by JASON GROOMES
In July 2007, Washington State Governor Chris Gregoire (D) passed the partner bill, which provided for same-sex
couples the rights of inheritance (without
the presence of a will), hospital visitation, and the ability to authorize autopsies and organ donations. In order for
these rights to take place, partners must
be 18 years of age or older and not in
a domestic relationship or marriage with
someone else. The law also requires the
couple to be living in the same home and
to be financially dependent upon each
other. Since the law passed, nearly 5,000
domestic partnerships have been registered in Washington State.
This week a committee in the state
House of Representatives will vote on an
expansion of this bill, which, if passed,
will add all state rights and benefits of
marriage for same-sex domestic partnerships. Governor Gregoire has already
stated that she will sign the bill if it lands
on her desk.
Unfortunately, we don't know whether
or not to be optimistic about the bill passing the House.
This past week during hearings on the
measure, opponents of the bill largely
outnumbered supporters. They showed
up by the bus-loads, boasting buttons
that read, "Marriage. One Man. One
Woman."
"This bill is a continuation of the erosion
of the special and unique status granted to
married couples," Maureen Richardson
of the Concerned Women for America
told the House Judiciary Committee.
Each opponent who spoke against the
bill received applause and "amens" from
the crowd.
Rep. Jamie Pedersen (D), who is the
sponsor of the bill, had to call for order
at one point, acknowledging the strong
feelings about the bill and the name-calling and shoving that happened in the
hallway. To this the audience booed.
One of the supporters of the bill, David
Cremeens, then spoke to the committee.
He had this to say: "All we want is to
have the same financial protections other
loving couples have who happen to be
married. It's important that the state, with
ONE OF THE
SUPPORTERS OF
THE BILL, DAVID
CREMEENS ... HAD
THIS TO SAY: ''ALL
WE WANT IS TO HAVE
THE SAME FINANCIAL PROTECTIONS
OTHER LOVING
COUPLES HAVE .... "
this legislation, is setting an example that
there should be simple fairness in the
way we treat families."
By the time this article is published in
the CPJ, it is possible that the House will
have already voted on the bill. I cannot,
however, be sure of that. Please read
more on this issue online, and do whatever you can to support equal rights and
the passing of this bill and others like it.
We need the support of everyone to make
equality happen.
If you are interested in making change
happen for the LGBTQ population,
please come to the Evergreen Queer Alliance (EQA) meetings on Wednesdays at
4 p.m. in Sem. II A2109.
Jason Groomes is an intern with the
EQA.

CLASH ON RIFLE PURCHASE,
SUPPORT OF MURAL PLANS
by MADELINE BERMAN
Will the Geoduck Student Union take a
stance on the proposed rifle purchases? This
question was raised at this week's GSU meeting, when the representatives were asked to
take an official stance on the proposed rifle
purchases by Police Services.
The GSU has not taken an official stance
at this point. Not all of the members agree
on this action, nor do they all have the same
opinion about the purchase.
At the same time, though, the Student
Voices portion of the meeting had a high
tum out, and many of the students who
spoke urged representatives to take a stand.
While the majority of voices were opposed
to the purchases, there were those that were
in support of the purchase as well, and some
felt that it would be inappropriate for the
GSU to take a stance at all. Some ideas
proposed during Student voices included a
walk out if the purchase is made and storing
the guns off campus.
Also during Student Voices, there was
unanimous support for the mural project
proposed by a Hip Hop Congress representative Noah Theeman-Lindberg. The
Hip Hop Congress has been in touch with
Bridon Stewart, a Olympia artist and retired
TESC art teacher who has design ideas for
possible murals.
Though only 15 minutes had been allotted
for Student Voices on the agenda, the GSU
spent an hour on this portion of the meeting.
This caused many items on the agenda to
be pushed back until next week, including
a review of the conduct of GSU representatives Tez Stair and Shaym Khanna in regards
to their appointments to the Police Services
Community Review Board. Another item
that was pushed back was a presentation and
discussion of Cameron Morris' most recent
revision of the proposed bylaw for filling
empty GSU seats. This had been pushed
back in the past for revisions but had now
been finalized and ready to be presented.
Another item that was left unresolved was
approving the appointment of another
student to the Police Services Community
review board.
The GSU also met some difficulties when
approving the letter to the student body.
Some representatives felt that the original language of the letter was oppressive
and exclusive. After a lengthy and heated
discussion, members eventually arrived at
consensus on the matter. This letter appears
on page 7 of this issue of the CPJ.
Madeline Berman is a sophomore enrolled
in Image and Sequence.
CORRECTION:
In Madeline Berman's story GSU rep. gives cops names, the incidents ofFebruary 14, 2008
are recounted as" concert-goers encircled the arrested officer's car, chanting for his release.
The vehicle was turned over."
It was not this car but a Thurston County Sheriff patrol car that was turned over.

and Recreation Department as well as 43
community groups. From 10 a.m. until 7
p.m. there was music, food, dancing, tabling,
and food from Brazilian, Chinese, Mexican,
Scottish, and Ukrainian cultures to name just
a few. Outside the center was a tent with a
banner that read "Sound of Cultures, Kids
Discover Sound;" approximately two-dozen
drums, pots, and pans were hanging under
the canopy. People on the street enjoying
the day gravitated towards the center at the
sound of the spirited and cacophonous music
that emanated from inside the tent.
In the building, a thick crowd moved about,
complete with excited kids and men in kilts
carrying bagpipes. The walls were lined with
tables and booths, including India South
Sound Association, Finnish Heritage Group,
and Nordic Cafe.
I sat in for a performance of Vietnamese
dancing. The first dance expressed the Full
Moon Festival. Two rows of young girls in
shimmering red, white, purple, teal, and gold
gracefully floated onto the stage. Each held
a small cylindrical or circular drum and two
drumsticks that they moved peacefully about
their heads in time to the music. The girls
moved in formations of circles, semi-circles,
and lines. The sound of flutes and percussion as well as cool, sweetly-singing female
voices accompanied the girls' drumming and
dancing.
THE VAGINA
MONOLOGUES
The Dance of the New Year followed this
act, and even smaller girls appeared in lines
on stage twirling paper flowers. This dance
was faster and the girls twirled flowers with
spinning wrists above their heads as they
moved in line patterns.
The Lion Dance, the finale, began with two
lion headdresses-beautiful, striped in silky
white or creamy yellow fur and gold sequins.
Red silky fabric accented the gold and the
lions' faces were intricately decorated. Under
each headdress, two to four people stood
moving the lions in a dance about the floor.
The lion puppets snaked and boogied about
the floor. With the quick beat of the drum,
one man hopped on another man's shoulders
so the lion appeared to be standing with its
forepaws in the air. A slow drum-roll of
anticipation climaxed when the lions stood
up to face each other by some impressive
trick.

Profile of One.Be.Lo for March 11 Show
by JAH'DI LEVVI and produced by
the HIP HOP CONGRESS
One.Be.Lo, born Raland Scruggs in 1976,
grew up in Pontiac, Michigan and immersed
himself from an early age in hip-hop culture.
Lo was influenced early on by artists like Ice
Cube and KRS-One, inspiring him to pursue
emceeing himself Today he is a respected
emcee and is also a member of the World
Champion B-boy Crew, Massive Monkees.
As a young adult, in 1999, he collaborated
with Senirn Silla to form the group Binary
Star. The duo first
dropped the little known
Waterworld, followed
in 2000 by underground
classic Masters of the
Universe.
However,
shortly after the album's
release, he and Senirn
split because of artistic differences; Lo
subsequently established his own independent label called Subterraneous Records, and
changed his stage name from OneManArmy
to One.Be.Lo due to legal disputes with a
punk rock band bearing the same name. Lo
also converted to Islam and legally changed
his name to Nahshid Sulairnan. In 2002, he
dropped Project FE.T.US. (For Everybody
That UnderStands), and in 2005 came out
with his first official solo album, entitled
S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M (Sounds Of Nahshid
Originate Good Rhymes And Music). Later
that year, he released S. T.IL.L.B. O.R.N.,
which has two acronyms; (Something To
Interest Lo Listeners Beyond Original
Recorded Networkings) and (Subterraneous!frackezoids Invest Lost Lyrics Bringing
Old Rhymes New). Project FE.T.US. was
reissued in 2007, and was shortly followed
by Lo's latest album, R.E.B.IR.T.H. (Real
Emcees Bring Intelligent Rhymes To
Hip-Hop).
As an artist, Lo's work epitomizes honesty,
reality, and intelligence. The way he
formulates complex lyrics and details within
his rhymes often takes several plays to fully
comprehend and appreciate, but it is well
worth it.
Albums
to
check
out
before
the
upcoming
show:
Masters ofthe Universe: Although this album
is not exclusively One.Be.Lo., it still stands
as excellent work through which you can get
acquainted with Lo. Masters has been wellreceived and critically acclaimed by hip-hop
heads worldwide as being a true masterpiece.
Masters is filled with extravagant wordplay,
galvanizing production,
and managed to break
new ground artistically
in the realm of hip-hop.
"Reality Check," "Solar
Powered," "Fellowship,"
"Mastersofthe Universe,"
"Honest
Expression,"
and "One Man Army" are this album's most
stellar tracks. This album is a must-listen,
whether you are going to the show or not.
S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M: S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M is
a solid album. Lo delivers and displays his
great ability as an emcee throughout this
composition. Most ofthe album is enjoyable
and easy to listen to, with the exception of a
few tracks. Of course, there are also several
standout tracks, such as "enecS eht no
kcaB," ("Back on the Scene" spelled backwards, if you didn't catch that) "Ghetto,"
"Rocketship," and "Follow My Lead." To
get familiar with some of Lo's best solo
work, this album is what you'll want to hear.
In only four weeks, One.Be.Lo will be
performing at Evergreen, so pick up those
albums and start listening, because a great
show is coming your way. And of course,
keep an eye on the CPJ in the following weeks
because we'll be coming at you in every issue
with more info on the performers.

Taking adion:
positives vs. negatives
A F()LL(J\V UP T() "ST()p BITCHING BITCfTES'' (JAN 29)
by YONATON ALDORT
A couple weeks ago
I wrote an article that
stirred some controversy
concerning the perils 1
of excessive political ,
correctness and what ~
happens when words ·
gain more value than actions ("Stop bitching,
bitches," CPJ Jan. 29). I now wish to clarify
more specifically what kinds of actions I
believe need to be taken, because there seems
to be some deep confusion in parts of our
community as to what actions are effective.
Whenever discussions of how best to take
action in the interest of positive social change
or revolution arise, there is inevitably a divide
that occurs between those who seek to build
a movement from the ground up, and others
who advocate the destruction of an existing
entity that is perceived as the cause of their
problems. This framework applies regardless
of the situation, because no matter what battle
for change is being fought, there is always a
clear obstacle preventing the progress that is
being sought.
The entity that forms the obstacles, whether
it is government or a massive corporation,
generally possesses power and influence on a
level far beyond the groups that stand against
it. Thus, radical groups must be extremely
clever and resourceful, not only to avoid
getting crushed, but also to design a way to
defeat the giant, so to speak.
The obvious theme shared by all activistminded people at Evergreen is a desire for
change of one kind or another. We want to
restructure the existing norms in hopes of
creating a better world for everyone. This
notion of helping people lies at the crux of
what all such movements claim to stand for. Molotov cocktails because they've realized

Why I am a compassionate facist
by KENNETH FAIRFIELD JR.
Why are there only
some aspects of our
lives about which we
want to be able to willfully make decisions or
choices? When it comes
to loving, caring, feeling, or any other quality that we consider
natural, human, and instinctual, we find it
horrid and inhuman that one could choose
to feel sad over the death of another human
being yet choose to not cry, to choose to not
be affected, to understand without being
affected emotionally, or if so, to channel that
energy elsewhere.
Humans are hampered and stunted when
they stop choosing: out of some false moral
principle or due to the paralyzing effect of
coming face-to-face with a possibility of
infinite choices. More and more they find (or
don't see at all-all the better for our New
World Order slave-masters) their choices
being made for them.
Too many are filled with the opposite
of amor fati. No, they do not hate their
fate-that may necessitate a passionate act
of rebellion, dead God forbid! Rather, it is
an apathetic attitude towards fate-one that
is astoundingly slavish.
Or have most of us been tricked into loving
our lives and considering them necessary,
especially us green, compassionate, active
ones? So active! Do this/do that. What doo-
doo! Shame on me for not becoming a robot
slave to compassion and/or pity ideology!
The once-silenced become silencers with
the release valve eight-year switch. Sleight
of hand. No hijacking into voting machines
needed for the swift-pawed Democrats.
Bamboozled! No, I am not swayed by the
waving of the flag just because it is now
lifted by liberals.
Both parties now led by black men? Were

for this master bait 'n' switch. Fortunately,

the Hype! We definitely have here a couple

And before you play the racism card, you
should know that I fully support and voted
for Cynthia McKinney. A miracle she was
on the ballot, and a travesty that so few
cared. I knew that she had no chance. A
black woman president? One shade and sex
change at a time, please.
Americans aren't ready for too much
change, for real change. And most haven't
even noticed where change has happened;
have not awakened to creeping fascism.
One is split apart by having to choose
between communism/socialism and fascism
(democracy being long-dead). Therefore,
I suggest combining the two, with the
third element linking or bridging the gap:
compassion (whether naturally-occurring
or chosen). This third element increases
the chance of avoiding the human rights
abuses and genocides that too often accompany totalitarian regimes. Thus we arrive
at Compascism. The baby holds onto the
serpent, to rein in the lion it rides upon,
whilst the eagle flies above to survey the
landscape for new dragons to slay.
Every word I write is true. Whether it is a
small or big "T," feel free to crucify upon it
any lingering beliefs you have about democracy, empire, activism, or direction. They
are DEAD. Try birthing something new that
will move freely, quickly, and lightly enough
to escape the bulldozers of doubt, logic,
and "thou shalt." Slip past Socrates, dodge
Aristotle, perhaps hide behind a mask, and
play at being even the monster. For what
is freedom (illusionary or not) if not being
able to choose between a multitude of roles
within the infinite play that must go on,
assuming the role created by the roll of a
drunken poet's pair of dice, and embracing
it with love for the game ... win or lose?
For Nietzsche, there was only one game in
town, and we play it over and over, forever.
So, as an ambivalent xenophobe might say:
love it or leave it...you can't leave!
Obermensch! Obermensch! Obermensch!
Over and over again. I accept it. Yes! I love
my fate. Look at the smirk on my face.

Good day,
sunshine
by ERIN GRAY
I forgot what the
sunshine was like. I
had been hibernating, constricted to
the one room in my
house that I kept
warm, putting on
layers until I looked like the Michelin
Man just to leave the house. I forgot
how pleasant it can be to go outside.
Instead of running from one shelter to
another, people are spending time in
Red Square chatting with friends, or
just enjoying the clear sky. People are
laughing and talking instead of getting
soaked and shivering. I can even sit
and write outside without my extremities immediately freezing and my nose
running all over the paper.
The change in weather is causing me
to wake up earlier in the morning. This
morning I woke up with a jolt, with this
feeling in the back of my head that said,
"I need to get things done." It must be
my animal instincts telling me spring
is on its way and it's time to nest and
prepare.
There is a little patch of dirt by my
back door where some type of flower has
been planted, and the small green shoots
are emerging. They stand straight as
arrows, reaching for the sunlight. Every
time I see them I cannot help but smile.
I hear birds chirping in the trees above
my head, and one very precious bird sat
not a foot away and stared at me while
I walked to work. I can walk to work
or to the bus without feeling miserable;
the walk is even enjoyable. It even feels
appropriate for me to listen to the early
pop music of the Beatles again.
I come back to life with the world without even really knowing I was gone. I
have long contemplated the idea that I
may have some symptoms of Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD-possibly
the worst acronym ever ... not to imply
in any way that this is not a serious
disorder that effects the lives of many).
Whenever I consider this possibility, I
feel like a hypochondriac, until spring
comes and I realize how much better I
feel when there is sun.
It makes me want to skip everywhere
and sing songs from Mary Poppins; I
do attempt to refrain from singing for
the sake of other people. I just want to
go outside and sun myself like a lizard,
although the comfort of that endeavor
may be questionable (my neighbor's
garage roof looks like a prime spot, but
I don't know how elated he would be to
come home and find me perched there).
Winter still holds on. The grass is
always damp and the. cars in the parking lot are covered with ice in the early
mornings. I still wear my gloves and
long socks, and a beautiful sunny day
can turn dark and gray in the blink of
an eye. I sometimes still have the urge
to nap in the middle of the day, but now
I need to find the sunglasses I stored
someplace so many months ago. I know
winters in western Washington are
mild, but no matter how mild they may
be, I will always be excited for the sun
to return.

of these assaults will be committed by
men the survivors know. What does this
say about young men and consent? That
some of us are slow, or indifferent, when
it comes to respecting the wishes of our
sexual partners? It's clear to me that
some of us could benefit greatly from
frank discussions about consent.
I got involved in anti-sexist work after
doing some introspection and facing the
fact that my behavior toward women
had, at times, been disrespectful, even
hurtful. This behavior stemmed, not
from any hostile feelings toward women,
but rather from insecurities of my own
about masculinity and what it meant
to "be a man." I mention this because
I don't see how we can change such a
warped culture if we don't examine and
change our own attitudes and behaviors
about women, sex, and manhood first.
I would be useless to this social justice
movement if I had never acknowledged
that I was part of the problem and had
never made the commitment to change
my ways.
I believe transforming rape culture is
about men's liberation as much as it is
about the liberation of women. I feel
this way because this perverted culture
mandates that we (men) suppress any
human emotions that could be perceived
as "weak", that we present a facade of
toughness, that we perpetuate the traditional notions of masculinity that do
nothing but damage our psyches, hinder
our social development, and alienate
those around us. The rape culture is
harmful to men as well. We do not need
it. In fact, I know we'd be much happier
and healthier without it.
A student-run organization has recently
formed here at Evergreen for men interested in combating sexism and oppressive behavior within themselves and
among their male peers. We meet every
Sunday at 3 p.m. on the 3rd floor of the
CAB (in the pit). Our aim is to foster a
healthy, supportive community (for men
and women alike) by empowering men to
challenge harmful aspects of traditional
masculinity and to strengthen our role as
allies with women.
Transforming a rape culture is a monumental challenge that requires the support
of large numbers of men. Not just activist-types, but men from all walks of life.
I see this campaign as something that can
bond the most disparate among us. We
all have women in our lives that we care
about (friends, sisters, aunts, etc.). We
all want these women to live the same
way that we live: free from the fear of
verbal, physical and sexual assault. This
is a human right, but it's a right that over
half the people on our planet feel does
not always apply to them.
The group I'm involved with is just one
of a handful of organizations committed
to eradicating gender-based violence in
the Evergreen and Olympia communities. To learn about the rest, feel free to
contact me
"Men have a primary
role to play in
particular, men have
a tremendous contribution to make in
the area of exposing,
confronting, opposing, and transforming the sexism of their
male peers." -bell hooks
In spite of several sexual assaults on
our campus, and a lingering uneasiness
among much of the student body, Greeners are fighting back like never before to
abolish rape culture here at Evergreen.
Rape culture: 1. A culture in which
sexual violence is common and in which
prevalent attitudes, norms, practices
and media condone, normalize, excuse,
or encourage sexualized violence. 2.
A culture which condones physical and
emotional abuse against women and
presents it as the norm.
For those who believe this characterization does not accurately portray the
reality in Western society, let's review
some facts:
•Every two minutes, someone in the
United States is sexually assaulted.
•Nearly one-third of American women
report being physically or sexually
abused by a husband or boyfriend at
some point in their lives.
•60% of rapes/sexual assaults are not
reported to the police.
•Factoring in unreported rapes, only
about 6% of rapists will ever spend a
day in jail.
This article was written for rnen, because
women don't need to be reminded of the
pervasiveness of rape: they live daily
with the threat of men's violence. On
the other hand, being sexually assaulted
or harassed is something most men don't
worry about, don't even think about. We
have the privilege to ignore or downplay
the gravity of the problem because we
are seldom directly affected by it.
To the defensive male reader who insists
that men, too, are sexually assaulted,
I reply: Yes, we are. And in almost
all instances (97-98%) by other men.
So can we agree that regardless of the
victim's gender, the assailant's gender
is virtually always male? Can we agree
that the fundamental problem here is a
culture that produces sexually violent
men in staggering numbers? And while
we're being candid, can we concede to
the irrefutable fact that women suffer
from abuse on a vastly disproportionate
scale than we do?
Violence against women is a touchy
subject for a lot of men. It's an issue some
of us would rather not discuss, because
it's a "women's issue" after all. There
is some truth to this; of course, women
are affected much more profoundly by
sexual violence than men. But if over
99% of rapes are perpetrated by men,
how is this not a men's issue as well?
And if men's involvement is necessary
in order to end the violence (it is), don't
we have an obligation to get involved?

instead of offering only the vague,
placating statements they have issued
or publishing documents after they have
already been leaked. To borrow a lyric
from a country song, they're treating
us like mushrooms: feedin' us shit and
keepin' us in the dark.
Ultimately these cuts are resulting from
the combination of an economic crisis
and one of the most regressive state tax
systems in the country. The (Democratic) governor is not just cutting higher
education this year. She is calling for
the closure of 13 state parks, the layoffs
of thousands of state employees, cutting
programs for the homeless, devastating
Washington Basic Health, and much
more. The struggle for full funding of
society's needs will not end with this
fiscal year. The programs we need will
be sacrificed at the altar of the Market.
As our economy slips into the Greater
Depression, we will see more and more
cuts like this. (Of course, there will
plenty of cash for war and bankers) Our
true enemy is not TESC administration.
The source of these problems is much
larger and systemic, but we have to
struggle for our interests in any way we
can now.
The Evergreen Committee for Full
Funding is calling for students to get
together in the coming weeks, to express
ourselves collectively, calling for full
funding of society's needs. There will
be a rally against state budget cuts at the
capitol on Monday, February 16 (President's Day). We will meet at Tivoli
Fountain on the state capitol campus
at 10:30 a.m. Please spread the word,
make announcements in your classes,
and bring signs to the rally. There will
be another rally at the capitol on February 24. We will be joined at both rallies
by other students and workers who will
be hurt by the state budget cuts. It is
important that we maintain a "NO CUTS
TO ANYONE!" message, rather than just
fighting for our campus at the expense of
the homeless, folks without health care
(like me), people in state-run chemical
dependency treatment centers, etc. who
need funding at least as badly as we do.
In Germany, a national student strike
was held by 100,000 people protesting education funding cuts. In Rome,
Italy, 500,000 students protested cuts
to higher education, yelling "If they
block our future, we'll block the city!"
In Ireland, 100,000 people (out of their
population of just 3 million) came out in
protest against education cuts. In 2006,
100,000 Greek students went on strike
to protest education cuts, holding occupations of 90% of the universities. In
France, as thousands of students came
out in protest against education cuts,
French president Sarkozy backed off his
plans in fear of "Greek syndrome." And
at Evergreen State College ... ?
We will not draw 500,000 people, nor
will there be a coup d'etat at the State
capitol, but we are powerful if we
come together as a community. To get
involved, please email: EvergreenCFF@
gmail.comTo get informed: http://evergreencommitteeforfullfunding. blogspot.
com/ Also, look for Evergreen Committee for Full Funding on facebook.
A document that the
administration didn't
want you to know
about was leaked
to the Evergreen
Committee for Full
Funding. This is the
only proposed "scenario"; an itemized
list of which programs are recommended
for "elimination" as of July 1, 2009.
Though they assure us that "nothing has
been decided for certain", we will find
no comfort in this, the only proposal
from the administration.
The following are to be "eliminated":
·Evergreen Tacoma
·The Longhouse
·Reservation-Based Programs
·TheCCBLA
·The Labor Center
·The Washington Center
·Evergreen Center for Educational
Improvement
·NW Indian Research Center
·Beginning the Journey
·The Computer Applications Lab
Folks, this is less than half of the list!
There are severe cuts proposed for many
programs such as study abroad, performing arts, etc. Many students believe that
programs such as these are absolutely
integral to the Evergreen experience.
Also, this "scenario" is assuming a 7%
tuition increase, and given the worsening state budget crisis, we could see an
even worse scenario by the time decisions are made.
I sent this information over TESCrier
on January 28 at 10 p.m. Conveniently,
the document appeared on the notoriously labyrinthine TESC website the
next day.
Don Bantz remarks on the web page
that he wants us all "to have the same
access to this information."
You'll also notice that after my
TESCrier posting, the word "eliminate"
was changed to the more innocuous term
"discontinue". The document and newer
drafts of this document are and will be
viewable at: http://www.evergreen.edu/
budget/budgetscenarios.htm
This message is not intended to demonize TESC administration; they are
clearly between a rock and a hard place.
They are being forced to make tough
decisions. The document also mentions
that one dean is to be "eliminated".
Also, Les Puree (our president) says that
he will be taking a voluntary pay cut. I
don't believe that the administration is
behaving maliciously, but their claims
of transparency and student inclusion
obviously cannot be taken in good-faith
considering these events. Also, we
can't help but notice that people who
are underrepresented in our society will
suffer from this scenario disproportionately. The administration is calling for
"prioritizing" programs. This means
hacking off a number of programs,
such as those listed above, rather than
distributing the cuts more evenly.
What about the students' perspectives?
They say they want our input, but how
can we participate in a dialogue if we
are being deliberately and systematically denied access to critical information? Maybe they should be informing

primary
responsibility, as is
true with all police
departments, is to protect the community
from violent offenders." Such hypocrisy!
The police, the organized establishment,
are violent offenders, from Evergreen to
Oakland, BART to Gaza City. I think the
statist Orwellian language is getting old,
and in the face of reality $10,000 can be
well spent on something other than militarizing the Evergreen Police Department
with AR 15's, Kevlar vests, and military
helmets.
Speaking as a realist without a subservient kiss-the-feet-of-power attitude,
one can say that Evergreen Police
Services is the most violent group of
people on the Evergreen State College
Campus. Last year alone Police Services
carried out atrocities against our student
community that went by without true
justice. Evergreen Police Services
officers tazed numerous unarmed and
nonviolent students, profiled countless
people racially, arrested students based
on stereotypes and fabricated descriptions, illegally searched people, politically targeted students with harassment
and arrest, and supported a completely
undemocratic administrative hierarchy
who's bureaucracy is fundamentally
against student power on campus.
All these things and more! Just speak to
the victims of this brutality that is swept
under the rug and conveniently forgotten
in the light of these violent people asking
for more power in their hands. Amnesia
is a tool of these power-hungry self-serving thought-manipulators.
These people act like they are members
of the community and want weapons to
"prevent loss of life," meanwhile they
ruin students' lives with criminal charges,
brutalize students with all sorts of serious
weapons, lie to people, assault people,
waste resources, and walk around armed
like they are ready to murder someone at
all times. Don't they already have enough
weapons? Do pistols, shotguns, tazers,
batons, pepper spray, handcuffs, huge
gas-guzzling cars, and something like ten
like-minded armed goons not make them
feel like the campus is "safe" enough?
It's either fighting terrorism globally or
fighting campus shooters locally.
Statists always want an excuse to
monopolize violence. This is a systemic
trait of people in this mindset and it is
obviously life-threatening. If there is a
shooter on campus, the highest likelihood
is that the shooter will be a member of
Evergreen Police Services! When taking
into consideration the prevailing trends of
violence on campus, this is the real truth.
Just the language used in their "Active
Shooter Response Patrol Rifle Proposal"
is typical of these neo-fascists. "Patrol
Rifle", no, assault rifle, "stop an active
shooter", no, rather become an active
shooter. And in all reality, if you were
to fall into their ideological fear-based
jargon, if one angry person started shooting people in Red Square, what would
assault rifles do to stop that-just like
what did they do to stop sexual assault?
Either way, the response would be reactionary, and five excited John Wayne/Fox
News inspired cops would run out pistols
and shotguns blazing. Best take cover.
