I’m sorry, did I say witches, I meant union leaders, did I say union leaders, I must have misspoken again, I clearly meant socialists, whoops, I didn’t mean socialists I meant the Japanese (the “fifth column”), wait, sorry again I didn’t mean Japanese I meant communists, remember them, oh wait, sorry my mistake again, what I really meant was Muslims.
America likes having a witch; it’s sadly as simple as that. Throughout our history we see, time and again, how certain groups are vilified in the public eye and often times persecuted for no legal reason. Take for example, the recent opening of a school in New York which was set up to teach the same curriculum as other schools with one difference, half of the curriculum would be taught in Arabic, with the idea being that by the time students graduated they would be fluent in both English and Arabic (a great idea considering how linguistically deficient Americans are). This isn’t anything new in New York, there are similar schools set up using Russian, Spanish, and other languages in the same way.
But what you may not know, and what our good friends Mr. Pipes and David Horowitz are more than willing to teach you, is that this school is not set up for education purposes. Nope, according to them this school is part of a “soft-jihad” which is designed to implement sharia law in the US. Sound familiar? How about phrased this way, replacing a few phrases. Instead of school use strikes, instead of soft-jihad use revolution, and instead of sharia law use socialism
Now you get, these strikes are part of a revolution which is designed to implement socialism in the US. Or how about this one: these women refusing to go to church is part of an attempt by Satan to corrupt the minds of the children in the US… and the list goes on.
The point I’m trying to make is this; since 9/11 there has been a general atmosphere or fear, intolerance, and even occasionally hatred towards Muslims for the simple reason that they are Muslim.
Sadly I’m not sure what exactly we can do to make people realize that his wave of anti-Islam is just as unfounded as the fear of witches so many years ago, but I know that every time I read an article like this I’m more than willing to do whatever is possible.
Just remember, the only people hurt when witches began their campaign against America were innocent people, and I don’t mean the so-called victims of witches.

Why is America Afraid of Witches?

Stop Whining
The Daily Evergreen has been running a segment called "The 20 Most Influential Students at WSU" this past week, as a way to recognize outstanding work done by students on our campus. Included on the list were PSU members Andrew Goodin and Alex McDonald. Both are seniors, and our group is devastated to see them go. The list also contained ASWSU exec members, one of the Butch mascots and the Cougar Men's basketball team. While the article was complementary to those who were included, it was inevitable that some people would feel snubbed.
... like the College Republicans.
Below are the letters to the editor that were published on April 24, 2008 in the Daily Evergreen.
Editor:
Since I have not heard from any member of my organization that you contacted them, I can only assume you are not going to feature any of us in the “20 of the most influential students.” This truly saddens me, given that the College Republicans are the largest and most active Registered Student Organization on campus. Over the last two years, our organization has specifically engaged the student body in more events than any other group on campus. Our organization has been nationally recognized on more than one occasion in our pursuit for equal rights and intellectual diversity to be had by all college students, including conservatives. Your constant preference of liberal students, some of which – in reference to the articles – have not done half as much as some of my members is quite disgusting, and borders upon a ridiculous addiction of biased coverage and infantile nepotism. I implore you to take a look at the journalism code of ethics. You have an obligation to serve the entire student body.

president, College Republicans
Editor:
Being a former columnist, I can say your newspaper is a “little” biased based on all my experiences there, however, I feel it is unfair you have chosen to not name a single member of the largest and most active club on campus as one of top 20 most influential students. Our club has held more events than any organization and has tried to promote real intellectual diversity on campus while respecting others and spreading knowledge to students and the community. Our club has leaders who deserve recognition for everything they have accomplished here at WSU. The club I am speaking of is, of course, the College Republicans. Please consider this information the next time you decide to do a series such as the “20 most influential students.” You aren’t influential just because you’re a liberal.

I do understand the frustration that can come with being overlooked. However, read the response sent to Daniel Schanze, as posted on Palousitics.

Subject: Re: 20 most influential students?
Mr. Schanze,
The introduction to each day's series of "20 of the most influential students" states "Many WSU students are here doing more than earning their degrees. Many affect the lives of others on campus and we tried to pick 20 undergraduates whose influence shapes our campus community."
There was a long, heated discussion about the nature of this series. This is in no way supposed to be an empirical list of the 20 students doing the most on campus. We chose 20 who are shaping the campus experience in a certain way. In addition, a staff editorial ran the same day as the first chapter of the series which stated "We know there are countless others working to change the world ..." and including a box that stated "Should some students have been included or not included? Were any groups missed? – Write a letter to the editor."
I understand there is an image of the Evergreen, and of many media outlets, that there is, as you state, a "preference of liberal students" and ideals, and that is something we have tried to address. There was no political discussion regarding this series.
The series was originally planned to be a list of 25, and a member of that list was Christopher Del Beccaro, who we attempted to contact but was not able to get through to because the voicemail box on the number we have for him was full. As a newspaper, by nature, we have to conform to deadlines and so we had to drop down to 20, and that was why we made sure to include the phrasing 20 "of the most influential" instead of "the 20 most influential students."
In addition, you say the Evergreen is bordering upon "a ridiculous addiction of bias coverage and infantile nepotism." If you remember, both Lisa Waananen and I – both the editors-in-chief this year — attended your meetings and sat with members of the College Republicans on multiple occasions regarding your concerns of our coverage. Since then, we have covered College Republican events that we have been notified of, of which I received three to my personal e-mail address that I gave your members. One: The national language demonstration last year, Two: The screening of an Iraq war documentary around the same time and Three: A demonstration titled "Vote For Your Favorite Domestic Terrorist." We covered two of these three (and I personally wrote one) but not the last one because we were notified too late to assign it. Also, just weeks ago there was a front page story titled "College Republicans work to help Iraqi children." In the past three months, our news editor has received one press release from the College Republicans, which was for the Dinesh D'Souza speech, which we devoted considerable space to, not just for the speech but for the multitude of responses both as letters to the editor and guest commentaries.
I know I am biased toward how we cover things as the editor, but I fail to see a "constant preference of liberal students."
It is a constant complaint we face, that we are inadequate in our coverage. We knew that the "20 of the most influential students" would not please everyone and that is why we made outlets available for other input. We included one student who is active with the Progressive Student Union because this year their actions prompted President Floyd to take his own action – additionally, this student was involved with multiple other groups on campus including ASWSU. Had we done this series last year, I guarantee Kiley Smith or another member of the CRs would have been featured because of what the CRs were involved in and accomplished.
Thank you for addressing your concerns.

That completely logical response on behalf of the editor refuted every single argument made by the CR's (You weren't ignored, your group member just didn't answer his phone. We did cover your events, even when you didn't send us press releases). There were also two opinion columnists this year who are members of the CR's, with not a single Young Democrat holding that position in the Evergreen. We did have two members in the MiX section; maybe that explains the liberal slant in lifestyles.
Stop whining. It is not attractive after the age of 13. Maybe if the group was being ignored in any way, shape or form it might be justified. Might. But the "20 most influential" article stated, on the first day it ran, that if you wanted to nominate somebody for the award there was still time to do so. You lost your opportunity for more recognition for inflammatory and pointless events. Soccer balls for Iraqi children? What about electricity and the safety to return to their homes? I forgot. One of your fathers owns a sporting equipment store. I'm glad your charity drive was so convenient for you.
Grow up and take your soccer balls with you.
And see you next year.

41 Hours in an Elevator
So i realize that this video has been circling around the internet for a while now but if you haven't seen it yet... watch it. He pried open the door more times than i could count only to find the same brick wall. He had to have come to same conclusion each time, that there was no way out! Where does the mind wander? Take a break from studying and watch this video again. I just can't get over it - very dramatic.

Progressive Student Union '07-'08 Wrap-up
The Progressive Student Union had an astounding year filled with activism and, well . . . progress. We screened films at our weekly Progressive Film Series with favorites including the Media that Matters Film Festivals, Escape to Canada, American Blackout, and The Abortion Diaries; we collaborated with other progressive groups to form a “Coalition of Progressive Students” (C.O.P.S.) homecoming team that placed 10th out of 25 (including a 3rd place finish in Tug-of-War!); and we combated the intolerance of Islamo-Phobic Awareness Week by collaborating with campus groups to host a Week of Tolerance & Respect.
We had learning excursions to the University of Montana's Labor NOW Conference as well as attending a lecture in Seattle by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. We also brought artists and activists to the WSU campus for the 2008 Northwest Progressive Conference featuring presentations by activists including: Keya Lea Horiuchi, Pedro de la Torre from Campus Progress, Gabriel Brown, Eric Johnson (PSU founder), T.V. Reed, Noel Sturgeon, and a performance by David Rovics.
Admist it all, we won our sweatshop campaign in less than a year, starting with a demonstration on the mall, continuing with weekly letters to the administration, and concluding with a very cooperative President Floyd who signed the Worker Rights Consortium and an intention to the Designated Suppliers Program to help to ensure that Cougar apparel is made in factories where basic human rights are monitored. An excellent summary of our efforts by Nickolas Conrad can be found here.
We have been recognized by the university for our accomplishments, winning the 2008 Student Organization Award for Outstanding Campus Involvement due to our “proving that students have a voice and are vehicles for change.”
Though the spring semester will be ending shortly, our activities as a group will continue on into the summer. Please consider joining our “Winston Smith Book Group” featuring readings from Naomi Wolf, Howard Zinn, and Dalton Trumbo (leave a comment to this post if you'd like more information).
On a personal note, PSU has been everything I could have hoped to be involved with during my senior year at WSU. Thanks to everyone who made it happen and I know you all will continue to do great things next year.

"Behind Military Analysts, the Pentagon’s Hidden Hand "
So I don’t know how many people have seen this, or how many will have time to read all 11 pages (for the online version at least), but if you haven’t you definitely should, it can be found here
It turns out that starting even before the war in Iraq the Pentagon was employing a strategy of “psyops” against…… us. For those who haven’t read the New York Times article here’s a basic summary:
The Pentagon has basically recruited former military generals to act as Pentagon spokesmen in the media (all those “military experts” networks have been using for the last 5 years or so). The way it works is that they give these “experts” briefing sessions in which paint an incredibly bright and happy picture of how things are going in Iraq, and then have them report that information to the public using their status as “experts” in the media. Of course all of these analysts know that the information they’ve being fed is incredibly optimistic but they still do it anyway. The reason that they do this is that many of these retired military personnel turned “experts” happen to own/have a large stake in companies that do contract work with the Pentagon (the good old military-industrial complex), and it turns out that in all of these fun informational meetings these retired generals and such have incredible access to the top brass in the Pentagon, which coincidently happens to be great for their business ventures.
So in sum, a very large portion of the military analysts used in the media are literally being fed bullet-points by the Pentagon, and then regurgitating those bullet-points (I believe it said in some cases word for word) to the general public, and most of them are doing it so that the companies which they have a large stake are able to get good contracts in Iraq from the Pentagon.
I don’t know about anyone else, but this is pretty disgusting to me. The fact that the military is willing to trade military contracts to generals so that they repeat Pentagon bullet points in the media just seems low, although I suppose coming from this administration I shouldn’t be surprised. However for me for the rest of the time Bush is in office (at least) I’m not going to be able to take any military “experts” seriously because I’ll be wondering 1) if they even have a real idea of what’s going on in Iraq and 2) how many government contracts their companies will get for their testimony.
One final note the article had, which I think sums up Iraq perfectly is this:
An analyst said at another point: “This is a wider war. And whether we have democracy in Iraq or not, it doesn’t mean a tinker’s damn if we end up with the result we want, which is a regime over there that’s not a threat to us.”
“Yeah,” Mr. Rumsfeld said, taking notes.

Seattle's Green Festival, April 12-13 '08
As a precursor to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Geoff and I went to Seattle for their first annual Green Festival. They key draw for us was Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now, who was speaking on Sunday afternoon. She has a new book, Standing up to the Madness: Ordinary People doing Extraordinary Things. She talked about the heroes of her book, librarians standing up to Homeland Security and Lt. Ehren Watada. I highly encourage you to buy it!
Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK, was also inspirational. She talked about the need to bring the anti-war movement and the environmental movement to fight for their common good. The anti-war movment, she said, was tired after 5 years of hardly anybody paying attention to them. But the environmental movement is full of life and enthusiasm. Less than ten years ago the existence of global warming was being debated while today Al Gore has won a Nobel Peace Prize. It was fascinating to hear her talk about her work in D.C. and around the country; go to the CODEPINK website for more information on what they do.
Stacy Malkan, in her talk "The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry" talked about the lack of regulation in what created beauty products. Studies have been done on people who are filled with pesticides, lead, etc. simply from their environment. She also talked about studies on umbilical cords, when babies are just born, and how they found toxins in there as well. Lead in breast milk from lipstick was another thing she mentioned. I left that talk a little more than freaked out, but she gave us some hope in that legislation is going through to try to regulate what we are putting on (or in) our bodies. Go to Skin Deep to check out your products and see how they rate.
Overall, the Green Festival was a success. They had a huge turnout, it was a zero-waste event, and the purpose of the festival was met. Amy Goodman talked about the irony of the festival being held in the Washington State Convention center, the place of the failed WTO talks in 1999. We were reclaiming the convention center, and we were proud!
There was a problem, however, with the conference. In my own humble opinion. Talking about a movement and changing the world is all well and good, unless you're preaching to the choir of the elites of the liberal world. Let's look at the facts: the conference cost $10 for students, $15 for general admission. Food was minimally $8, though we were in downtown Seattle so going down to Pike place market was entirely possible. Organic pants were being sold for $80 in booths, organic dog food was available and toilet paper that did not harm the environment was being marketed.
But creating a social movement means more than catering to the needs of the few who can afford those luxuries. Talking about the the most toxic, harmful chemicals that were in hair straightener is very important, but so is the fact that those products are used by African-American women. The very group of people, in fact, who were most underrepresented at the conference. Instead of talking to us, Stacy Malkan should have been talking to the predominantly African-American neighborhoods in Seattle to warn people of the danger. Chemicals in baby bubble bath, make-up... that is not information that should be kept to the ones who could afford to spend two days and $15 at a conference, or endlessly more on specialty products that are chemical-free. Creating a movement means going from the bottom up: increasing demand for poison-free children toys and toxin-free hair product means the green economy would grow and the movement would truly begin. It is necessary to be a grass-roots movement in order to be successful.
My suggestions? Instead of holding the conference in downtown Seattle (where parking was $10 for a single day in addition to everything else) bring the conference to the people in places like Rainier Valley White Center to spread the word and gain momentum. Everybody cares for their children and want the best future for them. That means not leaving people out of the conversation so the privileged can have a fun weekend in the nice area of Seattle. Organic soy milk is well and good, but it won't build a movement when the majority of Americans can barely afford to buy their milk from Winco and the world is starving.

Let's have a discussion about Animal Rights.
I got in an argument today about human rights vs. animal rights. I am just wondering about your thoughts? Was it right for PETA to rescue pets over people when the levees broke in New Orleans? Are animals more helpless than humans and therefor deserve more help from humans? Leave a comment! Because the more I thought about it the more unclear the problem became.

The Dalai Lama: UW Misses the Point
On Monday a delegation of Cougs piled into a bus to see the Dalai Lama and sadly the U-Dub missed the point.
The University of Washington had all the best intentions -- an honorary degree is the greatest honor that they can bestow -- but they missed the point. His wisdom doesn’t need to be validated by having a worthless honorary degree. The degree itself seems patronizing. “Here in the west all our wisdom and our validity is marked by this piece of paper (a degree) so you can have one too. Here you go.” He didn’t need or want an honorary degree; he wanted to have a conversation about changing our world philosophy with the future generation.
He doesn’t need another award or meaningless honor? click
Despite the University of Washington’s worthless ego masturbation the Dalai Lama was able to speak about peace and how it can only be achieved though inner peace. In other
3) We need wisdom, which he explains as a holistic view of the world. We need to realize that everything is inter-connected and because of that no group of people can be an enemy. The destruction of your enemy is the destruction of yourself. And it is through this philosophy that we can get our conviction.
It is time for us to put away all of awards and honors and listen to what he is saying. If University of Washington really wants to honor the Dalai Lama try leading the way in reducing tuition costs and increasing the spread of knowledge throughout the world for free. Face it; we like being the elites with the degrees and part of the most educated one percent of the world. And we like giving honorary degrees to those that work for real change and then we kid ourselves into thinking that we’re not part of the problem. Once we get over our own superiority complex maybe we can truly understand what the Dalai Lama is saying and help to make real change.

Sweatshop Campaign: We got lucky
I'm glad the PSU didn't have a sit-in that ended like this, but it would have made a great story.
BOONE, N.C. -- Six students were arrested at Appalachian State University, ending a sit-in protest about working conditions in factories where school-licensed clothing is made.
The Winston-Salem Journal reported that the students were charged Friday with disorderly conduct and trespassing. All posted their bail.
The sit-in began Wednesday morning in the school's administration building. It involved members of United Students Against Sweatshops, which wants Appalachian State to join the Designated Suppliers Program.
The students say that would ensure that university-licensed apparel isn't made in factories that have unfair labor conditions.
Administrators said the school is affiliated with the Fair Labor Association, but students say the manufacturers control that group.

Friends Don’t let Friends Support Sweatshops
Nickolas Conrad
The Daily Evergreen
Published: 04/08/2008 00:00:00
In a global economy, we often purchase clothes and goods without any knowledge of how they were produced. In America, we are led by companies such as Wal-Mart, always expecting to pay bottom dollar. As long as what we want is cheap, we have no regard for the ethical implications.
We are all perpetrators of “fetishism,” a condition that overrides our sense of decency in lusting after a material object. In our desire for the new object, we fail to reflect how our purchases support unjust or harmful corporate practices. Fetishism symbolizes how we care only for ourselves.
As educated citizens, we should be concerned about our impact on the lives of others. In their race to out-compete and provide goods at the lowest dollar, corporations cross political borders. This causes a new form of underhanded exploitation. Devoid of the same labor laws and workers’ rights, employees across the world can be aggressively exploited in ways that would be illegal in the U.S. Whether we choose to recognize it or not, how we spend our money is an ethical and political act.
I doubt anyone on campus could name the corporation or country that produced their WSU jersey. The WSU Progressive Student Union has been crusading against this lack of awareness. Last semester, wearing cardboard boxes, PSU demonstrated for WSU to join the Worker Rights Consortium. The group said it would rather wear cardboard boxes than sweatshop clothing. President Elson S. Floyd signed onto the WRC two days later.
The WRC is one of the largest sports apparel monitoring groups in the U.S. and this was a significant win for social justice. The WRC investigates factory conditions in the U.S. and around the world to monitor labor practices. Universities that sign onto the WRC ensure that wherever their logo is used, basic human rights are respected. The WRC works to end sweatshop labor and stop workplace abuses. More than 100 colleges and universities have signed on.
But PSU did not stop with the WRC. The group took the issue one step further and asked Floyd to also sign onto the Designated Suppliers Program. Since WRC is only a supervisory force, the DSP guarantees the supplier will be in compliance with minimum standards, including the right to organize, bargain collectively and receive living wages.
“Sweatshop labor is a broader human rights issue,” PSU member Chelsea Tremblay said. “All people deserve to be treated as equal human beings, just the same as U.S. citizens?” Tremblay has helped lead the anti-sweatshop campaign.
Our economic system can be unethical and opportunistic, caring for profit before principles. American companies contract their factories to areas with the lowest bidders, where workers’ rights can be ignored. If we believe in human rights, we should strive to provide workers with the same benefits we enjoy. Anything else is exploitative. Foreign workers are not means to our selfish, materialistic ends.
Thanks to PSU, a couple weeks ago, Floyd agreed to sign onto the DSP. We should thank Floyd for his compliance, but we are still waiting to see him follow through.
We should be proud of what a small group of passionate students has done for WSU. We should strive to be ethical consumers and thank activists for making this process that much easier.
Boycotting the Olympics
Over the past few weeks there has been a lot of talk about the upcoming Olympic Games and whether or not various national and supranational governments and entities should boycott the games to send a message to
With that said however, I cannot say that I am fully in support of boycotting the 2008 Olympics, though I fully understand the reasons for doing so. There is something fitting that the world, unwilling to pressure
However at the same time, as it seems to me, the Olympics are not the venue which should be used to protest
Protesting for human rights in
I have to admit that part of me does want the games to be boycotted, and that same part cheers a little whenever I hear that someone else isn’t going to the Opening Ceremony. But I think what finally moved me just over the edge to where I am now was the Dalai Lama who said that the protests should be allowed (so long as they’re peaceful obviously), but that at the same time China has the right to host the games. He knows the important thing is not what happens at the games but what happens to his people, and I think that’s what’s really important.

NWPC: The Murrow Symposium
Edward R Morrow Symposium: Don Hewitt
“The Thirty-fourth Edward R Morrow Symposium at Washington State University honored Don Hewitt, creator of 60 minutes and the CBS news executive producer, with the 2008 Edward R Morrow Award-Lifetime Achievement in Broadcast Journalism.”
Hewitt gave a speech about his life, his accomplishments and what he saw as the failings of the news media to expose the lies of the Bush administration. He cited the media’s close relationship with powerful elites as one of the major problems in the news industry today. Hewitt’s sharp wit and charm made him seem larger than life. But when he was asked more contemporary questions about the future of media his age and lack of understanding showed. When asked his opinion, he admitted not knowing what a blog was or media consolidation. But that really doesn’t matter. He was one of the original framers of a new television medium and his risks and triumphs laid the groundwork for how television is used today. It is up to the Communication students packed in Beasley Coliseum to find the answers to what lay ahead in media. We can only hope that there is a young ambitious student in the audience that can rescue the news industry and realize the full potential of a new evolving medium just as Hewitt did in the late 1940’s.
Although the symposium was not technically part of the NWPC its focus on the future of media is an important topic to discuss. The symposium was a fascinating look at the life of a man that had worked in television for over 60 years and has been in the background of so much history.

PSU's Response to Inflammatory Evergreen Editorial
(This is a guest editorial, written by numerous members of the PSU, in response to an article written by sophomore Communications major and College Republican Chris Johnson. His original article can be seen here.)
It would be presumptuous for the Progressive Student Union to speak for all progressives, everywhere, at all times. So is the argument that all extreme liberals are communists hoping to turn the
That is why democracy is the best possible government conceivable. One person can not speak for an entire nation, and it is ludicrous to insinuate otherwise. The very same “extreme liberals” who are supposed to be pushing for totalitarianism are the same ones screaming over voting disenfranchisement, suggesting more than a little hypocrisy. Why would we care about the disenfranchisement of the American citizen if we wanted to take away their right to vote?
It is our mission, as a student group on campus, to push for human equality and justice. An injustice inflicted on a single American is one inflicted upon us all. When a single citizen is jailed in solitary confinement for years without a trial, none of us are free. The idea that our views can be expounded into communism and totalitarianism is little more than ridiculous.
International human rights are an absolute necessity for members of our group. Taking away sweatshops does not take away an entire job market; it changes the market into one that does not take advantage of the workers. By creating jobs with living wages rather than perpetuate the exploitation of people around the world, PSU feels that the anti-sweatshop campaign is one of the best ways to increase living standards worldwide. All humans deserve to be able to provide for their families without having to give up their dignity and lives in substandard working conditions.
We are not destroying
Human life is sacred; yes, liberals say the word sacred. Whether Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or atheist, true progressives believe that all people are equal and should be treated as such. Members of our own group hold different spiritual beliefs, and are still able to realize that no life can be ignored. No religion or belief should promote hatred or superiority over another. That is the opposite of a true progressive.
Our
We are students who are concerned about our planet. Caring for one another should not be seen as a weakness or a sign of evil to come. If we are ripping apart
