Polystyrene is used in coffee cups and
packing materials and as you may know,
is very bad for the environment. The Earth
Resources Foundation states that acute and
chronic exposure to styrene, the most basic
building block of polystyrene, can lead to
depression, weakness, and gastrointestinal,
kidney, and blood disorders. The EPA
likes to classify it as a “possible human

very much more. The most exciting event

At age five, her mother cut her
hair off. It resembled the popular style
worn by figure skater Dorothy Hamill.
Already being a die-hard tomboy, young
miss Thompson was fine with her short
hair cut; until the teasing started.
“I had chopped-off hair, I acted like
a boy, and my name is Devin,” she said.
“So yeah, it was fun.”
Though she was teased at a young age
for her name, it actually fits her quite
well. Devin is far from being a girly girl.
She loves to be outdoors whether it be
in the middle of the woods, out on the
soccer field, or surfing at the beach.
“I have always loved being by the
beach. The ocean is my favorite place
in the world. I’m not a very good surfer,
but it is my favorite thing to do,” she
said. She could ‘happily’ surf every day
for the rest of her life.
This attraction to the beach, and
having been born in Santa Rosa, CA,
is what is calling Devin to Humboldt
State University (HSU) in Arcata, CA.
She is working toward a degree in
Communications, but Washington State
University Vancouver does not offer
degrees in that program. For that reason,
Thompson is planning to transfer to
HSU in the fall.
“With a Communications major, I am
going to get a job at a public relations
firm for about two or four years right out
of college,” said Thompson. “Then after
that, I plan on starting my own PR firm
with about five or six exclusive clients,
hopefully in the Portland area.”
Before transferring and moving
away to California, she must finish out
another year here in Vancouver. Devin
is currently a sophomore and has really
enjoyed the campus so far. “I love the
mountains and being able to see them
every day,” she said.
While on campus, Thompson spends
her time attending classes such as
Political Science, and Environment
and Human Life. She also attends and plays
intramural soccer each Thursday.
Devin has been playing soccer since she
was three years old, the majority of the time
as center defender or sweeper. She also plays a
lot of disc golf, rock climbs, longboards, hikes,
snowboards, and skimboards. There really is
not a sport Devin hasn’t tried.
This last summer, Devin and her best friend
went white-water rafting. Her best friend
happens to be her 21-year-old brother, Garrett
Thompson, who also attends WSUV.
“White-water rafting this summer at White
Salmon River [was the best experience with
Garrett]. We went over a class five waterfall and
it was the most extreme thing I have ever done,”
Thompson said.
Her brother planned the trip, which required

Even with all of these extreme sports Devin
has done, she hasn’t yet conquered the typical

“My dad didn’t like it because we
aren’t allowed to have visible body
piercings at the hotel,” she said.
Devin’s father is the manager at Hotel
Monaco in Portland. Her brother is a
Valet there and she works at the front
desk. With a location in downtown
Portland, Hotel Monaco is a celebrity
hotspot.
A few weekends ago, Devin met
Miley Cyrus while she was staying in
the hotel. “When [Miley] arrived, she
asked if somebody would be able to take
her dog for a walk,” said Thompson. “I
volunteered. I went up to the room and
chatted with her about her mother’s dog
named Fluke. You could tell [Miley] was
tired, but she was very courteous.”
Devin has also had the opportunity to
meet some of the ‘American Idols’ from
this most recent season. “We have a grand
piano in our lobby and at night Michael
Sarver, Danny Gokey, and Matt Giraud
would practice singing and just have fun.
They kind of put on mini concerts and
they invited me to come and hang out
with them. A couple weeks later, on my
birthday, the whole cast called me and
sang, ‘Happy Birthday.’ It was a really
cool birthday gift.”
Of all of the celebrities Devin has
met, Shaquille O’ Neal was by the far
the nicest. “He was so down-to-earth, he
let everyone take pictures with him,” she
said.
Speaking of down-to-earth, even
with all of these high-profile celebrities
interacting with her, Devin maintains
her relaxed attitude. “I’m a nerd. I love
to read. I read a lot, and for fun. My
favorite book is between ‘Eat, Pray,
Love’ by Elizabeth Gilbert and anything

Devin’s favorite food is buffalo wild

is drinking ‘Red Bull Energy Drinks.’ “I

including what she wants in a future guy.

 4 STUDENT INVOLVEMENT

International Club
Chau Nguyen
Staff Writer
The International Student Association’s first meeting
was Sept. 15 and attracted about 15 people, including
several new ones. They enjoyed food from Russia,
India and America and were planning to set up Rock
Band, but ended up playing the “The Wind Blows”
game instead. So now they are planning an event for
October: Harvest or Halloween. Who knows what they
may come up with?
There were tons of laughs when embarrassing things
were spoken out loud, tons of arguments when people
questioned whether their friends had done the things
that were being shared or not, and tons of noises when
they tried to switch chairs fast.
Those interested can take part at the club’s next
meeting at noon on Oct. 8. The room is not yet
determined. Send an email to isa.at.wsuvancouver@
gmail.com, so that the club can send out specific
information regarding meetings and events.
The event lasted for an hour and a half. The members
left, each with a handful of new things they just learned
from their friends through “The Wind Blows” game.
Vitaliy Bejan, the club’s secretary shared some thoughts,
“I think the potluck was a good experience because we
got to meet new people and learn a lot about each other
through playing games and talking while eating good
food.”
International Student Association (ISA) is a student
run organization on campus open to both Domestic and
International students. The purposes are to promote
multicultural awareness around campus, to provide
resources to help international students get used to their
student life at WSUV, and to give everybody a chance
to get to know students around the world.

Problems with the WI-FI

Current wireless issues on campus
Rob Hildebrant
Contributing Writer
O n a quiet Tuesday afternoon sometime
around 2:00 p.m., I found myself in the WSU
Library popping open the clamshell of my Dell
laptop. My intention was to listen to Pandora
while researching evolutionary psychology after
checking my email and maybe Facebooking
(okay, PROBABLY Facebooking). While
plugging in, a quick survey of my surroundings
reveals that I’m not the only ‘student surfer’
riding the broadband. To my surprise (read as:
utter dismay), a mysterious message tells me
that I can’t connect to the network. With a quick
head scratch and lower-lip bite, I’m off to find
the local Guardian of All Knowledge, a.k.a. a
librarian, to remedy my mechanical malady.
“Yeah…our internet is down again. Uhmm, my
best advice is to just keep trying.”
Okay. So that’s not the answer I was hoping
for, but it’s the best I’m going to get. I sulk back
over to my mini-cubicle and try to connect…and
try again…and again. Replay this scene a few
dozen times with a degree of added frustration
per subsequent event. After 45min, I gently
placed my laptop on the ground and climbed
atop my swivel chair. I leapt into the air with my
elbow aimed out like WWF’s SuperFly Snuka
circa 1985. Keyboard bits exploded into the air
as I made contact; my laptop burned in effigy
as a model of the student frustration. Brave
men wept and women shielded the eyes of their
children as I punted the charred remains of my
Dell through the library’s double doors…
Although that beautiful moment never
ACTUALLY happened, the scene has played
out in my head countless times since returning to
campus this year. Having recently upgraded my
home internet connection, the stark difference is
similar to lightening versus a lightning bug…an
infirmed lightning bug whose legs have been
pulled off. I donned my trusty super-sleuth cap
and became determined to assess the situation
and what was being done about it.
The investigation starts at the root of the
issue: internet connectivity. After researching
several websites (at home, of course) I was
able to determine that the campus didn’t have
enough WAPs for sufficient hotspots. If you’re
a clueless non-techie like me, this explanation
may sound similar to what a mechanic/state
representative/doctor might say when things
have gone horribly wrong…you know, mostly
static with interspersed words you recognize
like “deficient” and “hopeless”. Just to make
sure that we’re all on the same page, WAPs are
‘wireless access points’ and hotspots are the
geographic areas covered by a WAP…simple
right?! Nevertheless, I decided to follow the
age old axiom, “When in doubt, consult your
student government official.”
ASWSUV Senator Spring Atkinson and
Chair Pro-tempore Robert Chu saw me coming
from a mile away. We’d worked together on a
few side projects around campus and I sensed
they saw that special ‘the game is afoot’ gleam
in my eye. I asked them what sort of progress
was being made in my usual professional
manner. “So, what up with the what-what?”
To my delight, your student government was
already in action.
“We’re discussing a donation.” Sen. Atkinson
said. “Sizable enough for 10 units.” Chair Pro-
tempore Chu added, “Nothing has been set yet,
but it’s definitely on the radar.” We continued a
walk-and-talk ala The West Wing and they told
me they’d garnered some time with Chancellor
Hal Dengerink during the Chancellor’s Student
Advisory Board. It just so happens that I’m also
on that board…yea progress!
ASWSUV President Nick Ferderer was in
attendance at the board meeting and had set the
agenda specifically to allow enough time for an
informed discussion about the current campus
computing condition. Among other things,
the board discussed wireless printing (perhaps
on the horizon, but a very distant horizon), the
technological state of the new Undergraduate
Classroom Building computer labs (great
computers that have been bogged down with
safety features for your protection), and the
Wi-Fi issue. Make no mistake, Cougars, the
chancellor has done his homework. Although
the issue is fairly new to me, Chancellor
Dengerink has clearly been researching the
possible answers and alternatives to alleviate
this academic ailment. Because the discussion
is ongoing, reporting any possible futures for
the WSUV Wi-Fi would be conjecture and a
correct prediction could be nothing more than
happenstance. In order to ascertain the next
logical step in bringing reliable wireless internet
to the student body, there was one more person
I needed an audience with; Wim Geurden,
director of information technology.
The modern colloquialism is that ‘bad things’
roll down hill. If this is true then Wim’s tent is at
the base of a mountain facing upward. The last
person I’d like to be during this computational
crisis is the man that thousands of students
are seeking for answers. Don’t be pessimistic
however, because Wim’s got your back. He
says that a donation of units would be beneficial
and appreciated, but not necessarily a solution.
Currently, the campus is operating on a little
over 50 WAPs. This makes ten units sound
like a drastic improvement, but nothing could
be further from the truth. “We’re talking about
being deficient in orders of magnitude, not
dozens.” Wim states that the UCB will need 40 to
get it up to speed, and that’s the average needed
for each building. “10 units will sufficiently
cover one floor of one building. What we need
is a wireless survey of each building and the
spaces between them in order to have a total
cost assessment.” Wim’s approach is similar to
a doctor curing the disease rather than treating
the symptoms. “But the administration needs to
know that the students and faculty want this.”
Aha! So the director of information
technology has given us a plan of action, the
chancellor has been working towards a feasible
goal, the student government is ready to help,
and…what should the students and faculty

community to voice our support of these

Staff Writer
D iversity Council is back and ready to
rock with the annual Diversity Film Festival.
LIVING OUT LOUD, the celebration of
diversity through music, is the focus this year.
This year’s films all shed light on many facets
of diverse lifestyles through distinct musical
Angry Itch.” The Event is free and open to all.
Free soda and popcorn will also be provided.
The festival sponsor, Diversity Council,
is made up of students, faculty and staff. The
council originated in 2004 as a way to maintain
and expand cultural diversity on campus. The
focused on experiences of minority groups
in America, within their own culture. The
oppression and alienation from the mainstream
faced by minorities was an underlining theme.
This year, the group wanted to do something a
bit different.

‘Connections’ popular
Students get chance to interact
Alex Giebelhaus
Staff Writer
S tudents were entertained by the annual
Connections event. The music theme was a
hip-hop and the displayed art was graffiti. This
event was put on by Student Diversity branch of
Student Affairs.
The pieces were created on the WSUV
campus by the basketball courts the day before.
Students had the opportunity to watch these
artists create their artwork. Annie Levitt said,
“This type of art, this a great way for thes people
to express themselves.”
The artists that did the pieces were, Denario
Jenkins, Jeremy Nichols and Josue Rodriguez.
DJ Flipflop is a local turn-tablist who plays at
clubs in downtown Vancouver. He played some
hip-hop tunes throughout the afternoon.
Bola Majekobaje, Assistant Director of
Student Diversity said, “This event is for new
and existing students who want to get involved
in community diversity. It is also to appreciate
local art, music and meet new people.”
Connections became a popular event this
year for Cougars to hang out and meet people.
There were many tables and games, as well as
music and art that everyone could participate
in. Ethnic food was provided by Culture
Café, which offers different cultural foods
every month. The food that was presented at
Connections was spring rolls mozzarella sticks,
vegetables and fruit. Connections brought in a
diverse crowd of guests. The whole community
was invited to this event.
The clubs that were there were Big Brother
Big Sister, Cougar Pride, International Students,
Living Out Loud Film Festival, Social and
Environmental Justice club, YMCA, and
Disabilities club. Both Big Brother Big Sister
and Disabilities Club are new to the Connections
event.
Liisa Dilley said, “I’m here for the great food
and meeting new people.” This event really
was a good way to bring people together and
learn about diversity within the community and
school.
If you would like to get involved in
Connections or just help spread awareness
of diversity, go to Student Affairs and talk to
Bola.

Continued from p.4 the while remaining in the realm of obscurity.

“Our purpose is to promote appreciation and
understanding of diversity, and this year we
wanted to celebrate diversity with a positive
spin” and music was a perfect element said
Jorge Lizarraga, co-chair of the Diversity
Council. “It (the film festival) gives students and
the community a chance to get to know people;
people whose lives they will never experience
and it will help create bonds and will definitely
change perspectives” said Denise Beachum, the
mastermind behind the festival. “And it is going
to be lots of fun” added Beachum.
Along with films, the council will also hold
series of lectures and presentations to discuss
elements within the featured films.
Music has a unique ability to unite and divide
us at the same time. Many will argue one style is
better over the other. Rock, reggae, hip hop, rap,
motown, pop, alternative, classical, country--
all have devout followers. But, beyond the epic
and unending battle between the music lovers,
music does help unite people through common
human experiences that we all go through.
The diversity of human experiences and
expression through music as a medium is a
key element in this year’s selection of movies.
The film festival kicked off last week with the
films, This is the Life and Buena Vista Social
Club. In early 1990s a group of LA teenagers
revolutionized the Hip-Hop movement. This
is the Life explores the rise and fall of these
creative artists. The film explores the obstacles
of commercial success in the music industry.
On one hand, the tunes of these artists
changed the direction of hip-hop for forever, all
In the Buena Vista Social Club filmmaker Ray
Cooder followed a legendary group of Cuban
soneros musicians from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s.
Cooder follows these artists in their hometown
as well as during the performances in this
uplifting and musically entrenched tale.
This week’s movies include Hedwig and
the Angry Inch, and Amandla. Hedwig and
the Angry Inch is a story of a transgender
rocker, Hedwig, who dreams to make it in the
American music scene. The unconventional tale
of Hedwig will leave the audience to ponder
the questions of love and sexuality, as well as
gender identity in our society. Hedwig and the
Angry Inch was nominated and co-sponsored
by Cougar Pride, an on-campus based student
club based to raising the awareness of sexual
diversity.
Amandla, on the other hand, will take the
audience to the land of South Africa during its
Apartheid past. Through music, the musicians,
writers, activists and working people featured
in the film were able to unite together and rise

against the oppression and racially divided
structure of the society.
Last year about 350 people attended the
festival, while this year the group is expecting
big numbers, especially after the big response
it received at the ROAR orientations over the
summer. Council members and helpers can be
found all over campus supporting big, bright
pink t-shirts. Any additional information can
be probed out of them. Students can also visit

Cameron as director of the highest grossing
movie Titanic, and legendary sci-fi films like
the first two Terminator movies and Aliens.
According to rumors, Avatar’s budget is
running around $240 million, which makes it
the fourth most expensive movie ever made.
Why so expensive? First of all, the entire
movie is shot in 3D. Second, almost the
entire movie is shot in computer-generated
imagery (CGI). Third, the movie will run
around 3 hours.
The main character in Avatar is Jake Sully
(Sam Worthington), a former marine who
is paralyzed from the waist down due to a
combat injury on Earth. He is selected to
participate in a procedure that allows him
to walk again. This takes place on a planet
called Pandora, which is similar to Earth but
covered in thick jungle. Pandora is populated
by Na’vi. They are 3 meters tall, blue, and
have long tails. Pandora is peaceful, until
humans unintentionally start a war.
