"Thousands of families have had their homes and possessions destroyed under the blades of the Israeli army’s US-made Caterpillar bulldozers. In the wake of the demolitions men, women and children return to the ruins of their homes searching for whatever can be salvaged from under the rubble: passports or other documents, children’s schoolbooks, clothes, kitchenware or furniture which were not...

Maybe the title sounds grandiose, but it also sums up very well my four years here at Evergreen. I first learned of this school almost by accident while on a tour of West Coast colleges in the summer of 2006. When my dad first suggested making a stop at TESC on our way up to Seattle, my first reaction was, “Great, another stop on an already-tedious trip”. However, once I heard the phrases...

Submitted by the Nonfiction Media program:
Ten weeks ago, three students set out to build a floating playground constructed strictly out of garbage. Underestimating the task they had undertaken, they scoured Olympia streets in their 1993 Ford Ranger, collecting wood pallets, plastic bottles, and a garden gnome named Lemmy. Although this quixotic mission may seem like its roots lay in a seafarers...

When I joined the Cooper Point Journal, I did so as someone frustrated with the quality of my student newspaper. I had worked as a college-level student journalist before, and in my mind that entitled me to be silently (or vocally) disappointed.
I sat a long time with a “multimedia reporter” application in front of me, deciding whether I wanted involve myself in this mess at all.
I filled it out...

Next year, there will be no more free peanut butter and jelly sandwiches available at the Police Services office.
The program, which has run for two years, will be shutting down due to increased cost. This past year, students made an average of 700 sandwiches every week at the counter, which was available 24 hours-a-day. It costs about $500 per week to maintain.
Instead of maintaining the PB&...

Every year is a unique opportunity to be the co-coordinator of a student group and the editor in chief of a student newspaper, but next year’s circumstances are especially golden. After week 5 of fall quarter, the Cooper Point Journal publication will be solely online.
Some people would think this is just really shitty timing, but considering the current climate of journalism, but I say (cheesily...

Fatigue seems to have set in as the collective bargaining negotiation process for the classified employees of the Evergreen State College enters its fifth month of deadlock. The negotiations have been in progress since July 2010, but have been at an impasse since January.
A wide variety of Evergreen’s employees are considered ‘classified,’ including many like facilities, residential, dining and...

Some of you may have heard the rumor that the Cooper Point Journal is switching to an all web publication next year. I am here to validate this rumor, and verify that yes, this will be going down beginning half way through fall quarter of 2011. At first I felt betrayed. It’s a newspaper for god’s sake!
Who in their right mind is seriously going to seek out our website just to read some arbitrary...
