On Wednesday night the Women Geoducks squared off against the University of Puget Sound Loggers for the second time this season. The first time these teams faced each other, the UPS Loggers came away with a  74-41 victory in Tacoma. Evergreen looked to get revenge.

Hailing from Berkley, California, Lia Mezzio has joined the Evergreen community as the new Campus Organizer to help continue WashPIRG's important work. With the snow of a few weeks ago welcoming her, Mezzio has been very busy putting together a team for WashPIRG's current campaigns. As there has been a high demand for student volunteers and interns, along with a lot of snow, it has been no simple task.
Now until February 27th in the Library on the 1st floor, just outside Photoland, faculty member Bob Haft's photography exhibit "Omiyage" Souvenirs from Kobe will be showing. Official press release:

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.  
This Friday, January 27th, at 8:00pm The Curious Mystery will be performing at Midnight Sun with Jeremy Jay and Nucular Aminals. The show is all ages. Check out their website and the song "Black Sand" in the video below. http://thecuriousmystery.com/

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.
