the riot on the Evergreen State campus? My daughter went to Evergreen and I can tell you it seemed to be the most laid back, easy going campus I had ever been on. For those of you that don't know about Evergreen - it is known for being a "hippie" school - no grades, emphasis on making your own programs, environmental studies etc. It is, however, rated one of the top universities in the nation. Here's a link to what happened: http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_021508WAB_evergreen_riot_LJ.c4593320.html Pretty strange for anything like that to happen there.
Here's a related story - when my daughter was a student there, she was dating Josh Blue. I don't know if any of you remember him, but he was the big winner last season on Last Comic Standing. When we went to graduation, Josh was wearing a graduation gown made entirely of live turf - green grass. It must have been extremely heavy!! But very creative!! Another alumni of Evergreen is Michael Richards - Kramer on Seinfeld. They really turn out some interesting graduates!

I'm not sure I'd be bragging about Michael Richards these days, lol!
I hadn't heard about the riot, but then again I rarely watch the news and I don't get the paper.
