What should be done to improve relations between The Evergreen State College students and Olympia police?
This is so in line with the negativity seen online in the comment section of the Olympian. All the instructors are anarchists? Really? Way to slip in that senseless accusation, Olympian. The Olympian consistently allows commenters online to call for people to be attacked, punished, "run over" and other horrible things. This seems calculated to increase that reactivity rather than propose viable solutions. Is this how the Olympian chooses to sell its coverage?

Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Thu, 03/06/2008 - 6:58pm.I have a poll
Submitted by Anonymously Larry on Thu, 03/06/2008 - 7:15pm.What should we do about The Olympian's poll?
1. Nothing
2. The readers and the editors need to meet to discuss what the readers want in a newspaper. No, not handpicked group of lackies.
3. Get some reader training. They have no clue as to what the readers want.
4. The newspaper needs to hire some old time reporters that used to fight with editors for great news coverage (They are now in the unemployment line)
5. Close the newspaper, there is no hope.
Awesome. Thanks for the

Submitted by The Original Yoda on Thu, 03/06/2008 - 8:51pm.I don't even read it much anymore. I'm tired of their local coverage. I wish I could say
that our local newspaper helps create community but alas, I cannot.
After two years of being an Olympian thread rat, I cant stand to even see that little "comments (123)"
at the top of the page. Ha.
I want to see the editorial staff
Submitted by Anonymously Larry on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 1:41am.Explain what to do with the loss of revenue of closing down that college. Considering that The Olympian is taking it on the lips with lost advertising revenue (as are all newspapers), take $80,000,000 plus in revenue out of the community and let's watch how much better they do.
A smart newspaper wouldn't even touch that subject, as it is ridiculous at best.

There is the problem. We aren't talking about a 'smart newspaper' are we?
The call for closure is
Submitted by ashley on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 10:32am.As the school seeks to bring in new students, they're recruiting directly from high schools on the basis of TESC's excellent interdisciplinary education. Attendance there will become less and less ideological pretty quickly, especially as more faculty retire, and the student body will start to resemble those other state schools pretty quickly.
The Olympian loves to claim that the school is divisive, but then it does things like this that demonstrate that it's pretty participatory in generating backlash against the school. Oh, drama!
I agree. This is not Paris in May of 1968.

What?
Submitted by DJW on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 10:23am.You say that like it's a bad thing!
I'm feeling a little under the weather right now. Might be affecting my ability to be a true conservative. Kidding. I'm a liberal when it comes to some social issues but very much a conservative financially. But wait, I own a firearm.
Hope you are feeling better.
Feeling great today, probably anticipation of performing tonight
