I'd say Matt is a god, but that would be blaspheme and make me sound like someone who lets a tv be his life, in which I'm not. But I can safely say that Matt has influenced me in many ways. THANK YOU MATT.

I just say that Matt is a god. It's about accurate,

born and raised in OR just like me, I always think of him when i doodle in class

My highschool is actually very similar to Evergreen. Glad to see similar schools are gaining in popularity.

The Evergreen State College, Class of 92.

Evergreen is more contraversial in sections of Washington than elsewhere. It is consistantly ranked one of the best liberal arts colleges in the Western U.S., and academically has a great reputation. However, the Republicans in the state use to try to close it down every year through the early 90s (they still complain about it, but it is hard to argue with success). The person that made it really work was the former Republican (but vary liberal, it was the 70s) governor of Washington, Dan Evans (Later a U.S. Senator). He gave it enough prestige that the Republicans could not shut it down.

You take "programs" or design yoru own. I took, for instance, a two quarter program (32 credits) called "Revising the Tradition," which was a combination of lit, english, history and philosophy. A friend of mine took "Molecule to Organism" which was micro-biology, organic chemistry, research writing and some other biological studies. I also took a one quarter, 16 credit class on "Plato's Republic" where we did one book of the republic each week. Very concentrated study.

It is a great school, but you have to be able to be self motivated. There are really no due dates, etc (although the sciences tend to be more traditional), but if you don't get things in, you do fail. Also, to get a good evaluation, vs. the more generic ones that most people get, you have to do something impressive. But you get to learn what you want, and there is lots of cooperative learning (which pays off in the real world, where you tend to work with people).

Other famous alums (off the top of my head), Linda Barry (Cartoonist, friend of Matt) and Michael Richards (Krammer on Seinfeild). THere others, but I can't imagine you care. The School was founded in 1967.

I assume this is the origin of 742 Evergreen Terr?

I actually visited the school and seriously considered going, but knew that I would need a little more structure. It really did seem like a great school though.

Scott: It most likely is. Also, remember the scientist in "Crimes of the Hot" who comes running to answer the call for experts and is "sent" away with the reason that he got a degree in baloney? He had an Evergreen diploma.
