The SlingShot Artists' Group is a new student organization for students working in the visual arts. Students interested in participating in gallery shows on and off campus, hosting life drawing sessions and taking trips to galleries in Seattle and other areas are encouraged to contact SlingShot Artists' Group.

To coincide with the upcoming Blue Scholar show, the CPJ Arts and Entertainment co-ordinator decided to drop in on its local chapter of the Hip-Hop Congress for a dose of funky-fresh-dope-stupid-fly-sickness.
The Evergreen Hip-Hop Congress has been around in one form or  another for 14 years. It has existed under in its current iteration since 2006.
“Hip hop is a way of life, I think about it every day," says member Jid’ah. “It’s a creative outlet. Like playing the violin, or snowboarding or whatever." 

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s week nine now. That means you only have one week left to prepare for the most important part of the quarter—potluck time! But if you’re anything like me, you’re too busy working on final exams and newspaper articles to make a scintillating casserole or a ferocious salad. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned at college, it’s that ants on a log will get you nowhere. That’s why I’ve made this fabulous recipe guide. This week’s recipe is a luscious concoction featuring my favorite edible mascot—the geoduck.

2010 Evergreen Track and Field Outlook

We would like to invite everyone to come paddling with us!  We meet in Red Square at 1:30 on Wednesdays.  We have all the canoes, paddles and life jackets, so just bring your self, rubber boots, water, and a friend. Once everyone shows up in Red Square we walk down to the Evergreen Beach where our canoes are waiting for us and we go for a paddle for a couple hours.

Hope to see you on the water!

Any questions? Email me at wicada20@evergreen.edu

The Evergreen State College hosted its annual Geoduck Gallop half marathon and 10K run Sun., Feb. 7. Three Geoduck track and field athletes took part in the event. Brian Rakestraw, Britta Peterson and Karissa Carlson all ran in the half marathon event. All three athletes will be competing for the Evergreen track team at nationals this spring. Rakestraw and Peterson competed for the Geoduck cross country team last fall.

Friday night

Evergreen’s men’s basketball took on the Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls and lost 99-74 despite shooting .500 from the field. The number one team in the Cascade Collegiate Conference and third ranked team in the NAIA, Oregon Tech shot 26-30 from the free-throw line and out-rebounded the Geoducks 39-27 in front of a home crowd of over 2,000 fans.

The loss postponed Evergreen’s 10^th conference win for at least one more game.

    Two Iranian speakers came to campus to give a lecture on Thursday, Feb. 25. The event was sponsored by Middle East Solidarity, with most of the event planning by Merci Mohagheghi. The speakers, Hamid Dabashi and Shadi Mokhtari, are both Iranian human rights activists.

If you wander by COM 117 on a Thursday evening, you're likely to hear a roomful of voices rising and falling like a siren wail, or melding in intricate four-part harmony. Open the door, and you'll find yourself in the presence of the Evergreen Singers, a choir open to all Evergreen community members. Directed by Marla Beth Elliott and accompanied by pianist Stephanie Claire, each quarter, the Singers tackle a new repertoire to be performed in a free recital at the end of the quarter.

Challenge Week for the Hunger and Homelessness Campaign begins on Monday, March 1, and continues to Sunday, March 7. To raise awareness about the struggles homeless and unemployed people face economically, students can pledge to take the food stamp challenge on Thursday or Friday, which states that they will do their best to live off only $30 a week, the way someone might if they were on food stamps. On Thursday, March 4, the campaign will be merging with the 7 p.m.

Washpirg's Homelessness and Hunger campaign is suggesting that the students of the Evergreen State College attempt the food stamp challenge. The homeless of the United States receive an average of twenty-one dollars in food stamps a week, and we are asking you to attempt to limit your spending for food to twenty-one dollars for the week of March 1st. The goal for this challenge is to help spread awareness of the struggles of being homeless and to hopefully create empathy for these disadvantaged persons.
