By Jacklyn Hashimoto Hazelnuts, apples, quinces and jostaberries, blackberries, salmonberries, salal and zucchini, potatoes, hops, nasturtium and lavender, lovage, mallow and sage — all these and more grow in Demeter’s Garden, a project of the student group Developing Ecological Awareness Practices (DEAP) on campus. While the 2-acre plot once hosted […]
What Does it Mean to be an Educated Human?
It is uncommon to pause during your education to seriously consider all you have learned. It is even more rare to consider what your learning means. The collective consciousness around education does not usually make space for deep reflection. Most of us are not taught to ask, “What have I […]
Free Food
By Josh Wolf Food Not Bombs – the activist group for food justice – has existed since 1980, and has over 1,000 chapters all over the world. I wanted to learn more about their work, so a few days ago, I spoke with Izzi, a third year student at The […]
A Conversation on Positive Politics
Sometimes it seems like we can feel so separated from government and its mechanisms. But not everyone feels so. Recently I had a chance to meet Mary Ellen McCaffree (left), a former Washington State representative. She was the only woman in the leadership group during the Daniel J. Evans (right) administrations […]
A Journey to China, Evergreen Style
Sometimes a place calls you; sometimes you are lucky enough to answer the call. We don’t get to ask why and in not being able to ask, we certainly don’t always get an answer. The pull is there and so we end up in some distant land questioning, why am […]

Why are people afraid to go to Le Voyeur? -Voy for Joy Firstly, they serve forties of Steele Reserve. If that’s not terrifying I dunno what is. Second, there are […]
Healthy Competition and Early Registration
The first week of Spring Quarter is over – did you get into the program you wanted? No? How about that beginning art course? Not that, either? Every quarter seems to begin with a litany of “sorry,” and, “that sucks, dude,” as first, second, and even third-year Evergreen students compete […]
Wasted Advice: 3/18/13
I want to start dating and it’s hard for me to find people I’m interested in who aren’t scared off because I’m kinky. I don’t feel right about trying to build a relationship with someone I know I’m incompatible with, but I also don’t want to be too forward. – […]
