As required reading for most high schoolers, The Great Gatsby is a story many people know or have at least heard of. My initial reaction at the great American novel getting the silver screen treatment was skeptical and remains that way after shelling out $9 to watch it in theaters. […]
Strike Brings Campus to a Standstill
FIRST LABOR UNION STRIKE IN 12 YEARS Imagine a college campus without student support staff – no Residential Directors, student advisors, or records and registration staff. Recruitment and admissions staff would be missing, the Counseling Center deserted, the Financial Aid office a ghost town. The Evergreen State College resembled this […]
Union Strike at The Evergreen State College
OLYMPIA – The Evergreen State College is at a standstill as members of the Student Support Services Staff Union (SSSSU) urge community members to join and observe the strike.

Intercity Transit: Why I Don’t Ride the Bus
I don’t ride the bus in Olympia because I don’t want to guess if I’ll be getting a ride home or not. On April 7, the Nightline bus reached the Farwell street stop and then sat there for roughly 20 minutes while multiple Evergreen students were refused service. The ordeal […]

The college had purchased several of the easily-recognizable vehicles […]
Artist Profile: RACE DILLON
When did you start taking photos? I got my first camera when I was fifteen as a birthday present. I never asked for one or particularly wanted one, but I guess my mom knew. I started taking it to the skatepark with me and it evolved from there. What drew you […]
Student Filmmaker Nik Nerburn Spills the Beans About His Artistic Journey
What type of film would you consider “Paul: The Secret Story of Olympia’s Satanic Sheriff”? I would call it an experimental documentary. It’s sort of like a combination of an essay film – exploring an idea rather than a plot – and an historical documentary. There’s this filmmaker Nathaniel Dorsky […]

A History The Olympia Gnomestead House, filled with radicalism, music, and community, has housed an ever-evolving congregation of students and drifters alike for over a decade.
