Myths Unveiled: The Social History of The Evergreen State College ...

Rosenow | 34
• There are ghosts throughout the campus if you believe in them. They are not there
to hurt us, but to guide us spiritually. In other words, they love the college as much
as Evergreeners do.
• We must fear any budget cuts that legislatures have it in for us. This could lead to the
closing of the college. Perhaps we should change our reputation to make the college
more conservative, or better yet, find a representative who knows how to do
limericks?
• The architects who designed the college did not design prisons, which defeats the
ongoing theory of Washington state school buildings are ironically similar to
Washington state jails and prisons.
• Until the CAB gets remodeled, there will always be a place to escape to known as
Happy Land.
Finally, and I know this is a political statement, I found that libraries and the reference desks
very handy when it came to finding these small things out. I have used four different library facilities
when it came to investigating these stories: The Daniel J. Evans Library at The Evergreen State
College including periodicals, government documents, and archives; The Capitol Law Library;
Timberland Regional Library; and the University of Washington Library. Without these libraries, this
report would be a bunch of stories I heard and it would be very boring. By all means, support your
local library.
