Next year, Evergreen’s contract with Aramark expires. Aramark provides food services for various locations on campus. This means that Residential and Dining Services has to put together a request for proposal (RFP) for a new contract. According to Jay Field, the Purchasing and Contracts Manager, an RFP outlines “what it is that we need and want, and what we expect any successful vendor to do.” An RFP gives various vendors a chance to bid for a contract with Evergreen.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of The Evergreen State College's first year of classes, and the date isn't going without recognition. You may have noticed the '40' banners up on Red Square for the entirety of this past year and some events on campus, like the recent Willi Unsoeld Seminar and Rachel Carson Forum, that celebrate alumni and the college's past. All these events have been leading up to the three-day Return to Evergreen celebration on May 18-20.

It's normal for a senior at Evergreen to worry about justifying four years of study that may or may not make any sense. Seniors may have every intention of completing the optional “summative self evaluation”… but then senioritis will take over and they’ll never think of it again. In a few years, though, you won’t be able to ignore it—the summative self evaluation will be mandatory.

The title “porn star” and Ph.D. do not usually go hand-in-hand. This isn’t the case with Annie Sprinkle, a feminist porn activist, who spoke at the Evergreen State College last week.
Evergreen student groups Womyn’s Resource Center and Greeners for Choice sponsored a series of lectures by former porn star Sprinkle.

Yes, the new season of Mad Men is finally under way. After more than two years of absence from airwaves, the fifth season of AMC’s record-breaking drama is back. The show’s meticulous pace and style produce a kind of artistic sensation rarely ever experienced in the medium of TV. This new 5th season premiered last month, picking up the drama of Madison Avenue adman Don Draper, played wonderfully by John Hamm, and the rest of the staff at the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce advertising agency.
