The 3rd floor of the CAB building was the setting for an afternoon performance by local old-timey group Fiddle Pie on Wednesday, January 25.  Fiddle Pie - http://www.myspace.com/fiddlepie
Spoken word is not a particularly well-known or much thought-about art form. In past times and different places, poetry recitation was a revered occupation. Today, in our so-called modern American way, the role of the poet and speaker has been all but dropped from our society. A small group of dedicated Greeners is trying to change that. The Evergreen Old Growth Poetry Collective meets every Tuesday at 5:00 PM in the library building to write and share poetry and organize spoken word events for the community.
The men’s Basketball team sought payback over the University of Puget Sound Loggers, who had beaten them earlier in the season.    At the start, it was difficult to believe that the Loggers had beaten the Geoducks by 12, with both teams responding well to each other’s pressure and trading basket for basket.  With the score even at 20, the Loggers took a timeout and from the restart separated themselves from the Geoducks.

The remodeled HCC now has gender neutral restrooms. For those of you not in-the-know, this means that people of all genders can now freely choose whichever side of the bathroom they want to use. According to the December issue of RAD Times, “both bathrooms have stalls and the right bathroom has a urinal, but individuals may choose which bathroom they use without worrying about offending anyone in that room." 
Campus Dining Services has implemented several changes over winter break.
All Evergreen campus events are canceled.  Campus Dining Service will have reduced hours due to the weather. The Sem II Cafe and the Marketplace will be closed, the Greenery will be open from 11am-1pm and 5pm-7pm. (From the TESC Dining Services Facebook page) Intercity Transit is on "Severe Weather Service Plan." That means there is no service to Evergreen! Go to their website for details.
This past week, Olympia has been hammered by just about as much snow as it’s ever seen. There’s a good foot of snow on the ground, ice and slush make walking significantly more difficult than it should be, and there are more snowmen around campus than there are people. Because this amount of snow is an oddity in the Pacific Northwest (and I'm from Michigan...
Today, Wednesday, January 18, the snow on the ground is much deeper than expected. About a week ago, the forecast warned us against an inch or two. As this winter weather continues, though, that forecast proves to be more and more incorrect.
Students celebrated the Martin Luther King holiday on Monday, January 16 in the snow on Red Square. The snowball fights seemed to be mostly friendly fire.
If you grew up in the 80's, played NES games as a kid, liked to skateboard, watched Ninja Turtles, or dreamed of being a surfer in California, then chances are you would probably enjoy the music of James Ferraro. That might sound pretentious, but any fan of his music would understand that sentiment completely. To put it more plainly, if you like experimental or electronic chillwave, ambient or drone artists like Aphex Twin, Neon Indian, Washed Out, Flying Lotus, or even bands like Velvet Underground or Red Crayola, then you will most likely dig James Ferraro.
Riot To Follow! is once again in search of brave souls just foolish enough to go where-- well, where actually quite a few men and women have gone before.
Some students who attended The Evergreen State College last year might remember an event that was sponsored by the Women's Resource Center called Porn Week. Porn Week was a week long event that included things such as workshops and question-and-answer sessions that aimed to promote sex positivity. Unfortunately, Porn Week will not be held this school year.
The Evergreen campus Facilities Services is working toward campus energy conservation, as well as campus waste reduction.  Irene Hinkle is our Resource Conservation Coordinator, a job funded by a grant from Puget Sound Energy.  This power company supports its commercial customers to conserve energy in order to eliminate the need for increased infrastructure such as dams and power plants.  However infrastructure does not have to be a bad thing, if it is conducted in an intelligently designed way.  Infra
