...SPRING ENROLLMENT COUNT 2110...Tenth day class count at Evergreen shows a Spring Quarter
enrollment of 2,110 students, according to Registrar Walker Allen. The total includes 1,121
men and 989 women, Allen said. Broken down by academic levels, there are 658 first-year
students at Evergreen, 547 sophomores, 536 juniors and 339 seniors.
The non-white enrollment at Evergreen shows 110 Native American students, 88 AfroAmericans, 22 Asian Americans and 21 Spanish Americans. The total enrollment count of 2,110
compares with 1,936 enrolled in Spring Quarter, 1974.
...THIRD WORLD ART SHOW OFFERS VARIETY OF CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS...Artworks from throughout
West Coast non-white communities are currently on display in Evergreen's main gallery.
The show, the first of its kind in Thurston County, is a comprehensive exhibit of Third
World art, including more than 40 pieces by more than two dozen artists. Evergreen Exhibits
Coordinator John Woo, a Seattle junior, says the works represent what he calls a "friends
and neighbors" show. He personally selected each piece by traveling the length of the West
Coast visiting artists recommended to him by other artists. Together, the varied and
complex exhibit portrays what Woo calls the "distinctive flavor of Third World Art" as
opposed to art reflected by the predominant American culture.
The exhibit, to be displayed through May 10 at Evergreen, includes two dozen pieces
of pottery shaped by Pacific Northwest artists Ed King, coordinator of TESC art workshops,
and Jerry Threlkeld, a Seattle art instructor. It also includes some 40 paintings, drawings, collages, kinetic and wood sculptures, prints and photo scrolls, produced by artists
from Chicano, Asian, Black and Native American communities.
The entire display represents an artistic statement of what Woo feels is happening in
contemporary non-white cultures
the desire to communicate and share ethnic heritages
and accomplishments with each other. Woo says the exhibit will be displayed at the Wing
Luke Memorial Museum in Seattle later in May. He hopes other communities will also want
to display it. He invites interested persons to contact him at Evergreen
and to view
the show at the Library gallery before May 10. Gallery hours are from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Mondays through Thursdays; 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Fridays; 1 to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 1 to 9 p.m.
Sundays.

...EVERGREEN SCIENTIST APPOINTED TO NATIONAL COMMITTEE...Dr. Elizabeth Kutter. an Evergreen
faculty biologist, has been invited to serve with the National Institutes of Health's
Program Advisory Committee on DNA Recombinants. Task of the committee is to develop foolproof ways to eliminate potential hazards before permitting use of certain powerful new
techniques for genetic analysis in higher organisms.
Dr. Kutter has been conducting scientific research on the biochemical genetics of
bacterial viruses. Her work, which has involved Evergreen students, has been partially
financed by the NIH.
Dr. Kutter was invited to serve on the advisory group by Dr. Dewitt Stetten, Jr.,
Deputy Director for Science, National Institutes of Health, an agency within the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare. Dr. Stetten selected Dr. Kutter for both her knowledge
of biology and her appreciation of the ethics of research.
...NEW YORK SENIOR AWARDED ECONOMICS FELLOWSHIP...Susan Feiner. a Nyack, New York senior at
Evergreen, has been awarded a $3,350 Victoria C. Lapham Fellowship for graduate studies in
economics. The 20-year-old Evergreen student, who expects to graduate in June, is the
first recipient of the newly-established national fellowship program administered by
Southern Methodist University. Ms. Feiner has already been accepted to graduate school at
the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where she will major in economics.

" BYRON'S DISMISSAL REVERSED BY HEARING BOARD
Lack of due process, lack of specific statements of violations, and lack of evidence
led the seven-member All Campus Hearing Board Tuesday (April 22) to find in favor of former
student Jerome Byron, who appealed his Fall Quarter dismissal by Evergreen Vice President
and Provost Ed Kormondy.
The hearing was the second in three months which reversed a decision by a vice president in favor of a petitioner. February 27 a similar hearing reversed Vice President
Dean Clabaugh's appointment of John Moss to the dual directorship of Personnel and Auxiliary Services.
The April 22 decision, issued in a two-page memorandum to Byron, followed more than
four hours of public testimony April 21, preceded by court action in which Byron had asked
Thurston County Superior Court to restrain Evergreen administrators from carrying out his
disenrollment. Superior Court Judge Hewitt Henry requested a psychiatric examination of
Byron. When the examination revealed the Sherman Oaks, California sophomore was not a
danger to himself or others, Evergreen's legal counsel, Assistant Attorney General Richard
Monteccuco^agreed to let Byron reenroll at Evergreen and to arrange for the Monday hearing.
Byron did not elect to reenroll. He told Hearing Board members he was not sure
whether or not he would enroll, even if their decision was in his favor. Byron, represented
by John Braithwaite of Thurston-Mason County Legal Aid Association, charged that his disenrollment was a violation of due process since there was no formal hearing before he was
disenrolled in December.
"...POTENTIAL FOR INCITING OTHERS..."
Provost Kormondy said he was "empowered to disenroll students for cause," and that
those causes included "disruption of the learning process." He cited problems Byron and
his Fall Quarter instructor William Burford had encountered and asked Security Officer
Gary Russell and Dean of Student Development Programs Larry Stenberg to indicate their
involvement with Byron. Stenberg, who indicated he had a number of conversations with
Byron, said it was his opinion that "Jerome's continuing in this college could be harmful
to him...because of the potential his behavior has of inciting others to act out against
him." Kormondy also offered letters by Burford, who is now in Texas, and by Academic Dean
Lynn Patterson, who was off campus during the hearing but who had been in contact with
Burford when the conflicts between he and Byron began.
The Hearing Board agreed with Byron that he had been denied due process, because
informal mediation between himself and Burford had not taken place before Byron was disenrolled. The Hearing Board also said Kormondy's letter of disenrollment to Byron "did
not sufficiently inform the petitioner of the charges against him..." and that evidence
presented by Kormondy to support possible violations of the Evergreen Social Contract "was
not sufficient to substantiate those alleged violations."
The Hearing Board also indicated that it had difficulty deciding the case because:
(1) the hearing was convened "without informing the Board Members of the specific reasons
for the petitioner for wanting a hearing, without a response from the respondent and without clarification of the charges prior to the hearing;"(2) the Hearing was forced before
all attempts at informal mediation had been made, and (3) because Burford was not present.
"DUE PROCESS" A MUST
The Campus Hearing Board also affirmed the authority of the Provost to disenroll
students who violate the Social Contract, but pointed out that any disenrollment must be
done in accordance with "procedural as well as substantive due process guaranteed in the

COG document." The Board concluded with an affirmation of faculty members' rights to*
remove disruptive influences from their classrooms, again subject to the guarantees of
mediation and hearing as set forth in COG.
Byron, commenting on the results of the hearing, said he was still not prepared to
answer questions about whether or not he would reenroll at Evergreen.
Members of the Hearing Board included Chas Davies, who acted as chairman, Faculty
Member Ron Woodbury, Staff Members Gail Martin and Al Spence and Students Corrie Haight,
Neil Bogue and Ellen Mosier. Permanent Hearing Board Members Carlos Rose-White, a student,
and Russ Lidman, faculty, were challenged by Byron and replaced with Haight and Woodbury.
POSTAL INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY
U.S. Postal and Secret Service authorities were at Evergreen last Thursday and this
week, investigating apparently unintentional but technically unlawful activities involving
the printing and subsequent mailing of 200 illegally-stamped post cards. The incident,
involving a part-time student, three classified staff members, and one member of the
faculty, had resulted in no charges being filed by the time The Newsletter went to press.
The investigation of the possible counterfeiting of $16 worth of government stamps and
mailing them illegally continued.
Indications were that the student, under an individual study contract with a faculty
member, had sent a stamped post card to the college Print Shop and asked that 200 copies
be run on a rush basis. The post cards, containing invitations to Olympia-area residents
to attend a special campus meeting next week, apparently were printed here and then
mailed by the student last week from the Olympia Post Office. Postal inspectors,noticing
the stamped post cards were copies
albiet poor ones
of an original (the stamps
were black instead of orange), launched an immediate investigation.
Those involved said the incident was an innocent series of mistakes; that no intent
to defraud existed, and that the student had assumed the postage was completely legal
when she mailed the cards.
CPJ HAS NEW EDITOR; GRIBSKOV ANNOUNCES INTENTION TO RESIGN AS ADVISOR
Ralph Smith, a Pullman sophomore, has assumed the editorship of the Cooper Point
Journal following the resignation April 17 of former editor Sam Solomon for "personal
reasons." Smith, who edited an underground newspaper in Boise, Idaho before coming to
Evergreen Fall Quarter, is the fourth CPJ editor this year. He has named Brian Murphy,
who served as CPJ editor Fall Quarter, 1973, as his news editor, replacing Aubrey Dawn,
who also resigned.
Faculty Advisor Margaret Gribskov said she expects the Publications Board to confirm
Smith's appointment at its next meeting May 2 at 1 p.m. in Library 3121. Gribskov said
applications for editor for Fall Quarter, 1975 are now being accepted in Library 1414 and
will be until 9 a.m. May 20. The Publications Board will meet again May 23 to name a
Fall Quarter editor.
Gribskov also announced that she intends to resign as advisor to the student-run
weekly newspaper the end of Spring Quarter. She has served in that capacity since she
joined the Evergreen Faculty in the Fall of 1973.
MARROM OVERSEES SAFETY PROGRAM
Rod Marrom, Evergreen's Security Supervisor since 1970 and additionally responsible
for campus safety programs since March, 1974, this week was requested by Administrative
Vice President Dean Clabaugh to devote "100 per cent" of his time to completing plans
required of the college by the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA). The
full-time temporary assignment will expire on June 30. Marrom, reporting directly to
Clabaugh from quarters in the Development Office (third floor of the Library), undertook
the expansion of his safety duties early this week.
(
In a letter to Marrom, Clabaugh said, "You will continue to work with the Safety
Committee previously established and will, in addition to preparing the WISHA plan:
coordinate safety activities; keep and analyze accident records; conduct activities for
stimulating and maintaining safety interest of employees; develop employee safety
education programs and conduct education activities; serve on the Safety Committee;
conduct accident investigations and appraisals; plan and direct a regular program of

safety inspections; check for compliance with applicable safety laws and codes; and issue
regular reports showing safety performance and accident trends."
Clabaugh added, "The exempt administrative assignment to which this letter appoints
you is temporary. Although Evergreen may, after completion of the WISHA plan, decide to
establish a 'safety coordinator' position, it would probably become a classified position
to be filled through civil service procedures established by the Higher Education Personnel
Board. In no event, therefore, should you anticipate that this assignment will continue
beyond June 30, 1975."
Clabaugh and Dean of Student Development Programs Larry Stenberg, to whom campus
security functions are directly accountable, have not yet determined how administration
of that office will be handled in the immediate future. An announcement is expected
next week.
TRUSTEES APPROVE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS; ADOPT ORGANIZATIONAL CHART - by Judy Annis
Evergreen's Board of Trustees approved two cooperative agreements
one with St.
Martin's College, the other with the City of Olympia
and adopted the college's current
organizational chart with a precedent-setting resolution sponsored by Spokane Trustee
Hal Halvorson.
The resolution accepted the college organization chart in effect on April 17, which
includes the recent combination of Director of Personnel and Auxiliary Services. Perhaps
with that combination in mind, the Trustees also approved, as part of the organization
chart, a one sentence paragraph simply stating: "The organizational table may be changed
only after approval of the Board of Trustees." Halvorson, again, encouraged the addition
of the words "only after" in the paragraph.
The five-member board also approved the lease of seven acres of farm land from St.
Martin's for a $1 fee. Evergreen students in the Native American Studies program this
summer will cultivate the land, using traditional Indian farming methods, and harvest
their produce for distribution to the needy in Thurston County. Faculty Member Cruz
Esquivel, sponsor of the Native American study program, said his students are purchasing
seeds for the project in cooperation with the Hunger Action Center. Students will also
work with the Department of Social and Health Services to distribute farm produce.
Esquivel said the reason his program sought land apart from Evergreen's 1,000 acres
was that "clearing would be necessary for us to use that much land on campus." He said
the Good Earth Coordinated Studies program, a three-quarter academic study, is already
using the farming area at the Organic Farm, which isn't big enough to support both programs.
Trustees also approved a request by the City of Olympia to drill a second test water
well on college property adjacent to a similar well drilled in 1971-72. City Engineer
Al Kimball said the well is part of the city's effort to develop new water sources and
storage facilities on Olympia's Westside. Initial development of the water project,
according to a letter to the Trustees from Olympia Mayor Tom Allen, will involve construction of a two-million-gallon storage reservoir on the Westside.
Drilling of the new, shallow well, on college property near the Corner of C-Road and
Kaiser Road, will take less than a month to complete. Construction of the new reservoir
will begin in September. Kimball estimated the reservoir, to be built on city property
near Elliot Avenue, will take a year to complete. If the campus wells prove to be productive as water supply sources, college and Olympia officials will later negotiate
changes in water rates charged Evergreen by the City.
SPRING ENROLLMENT COUNT 2110
Tenth day class count at Evergreen shows a Spring Quarter
enrollment of 2,110 students, according to Registrar Walker Allen.
The total includes 1,121 men and 989 women, Allen said. Broken
down by academic levels, there are 658 first-year students at
Evergreen, 547 sophomores, 536 juniors and 339 seniors.
The non-white enrollment at Evergreen shows 110 Native American students, 88 Afro-Americans, 22 Asian Americans and 21
Spanish Americans. The total enrollment count of 2110 compares
with 1,936 enrolled in Spring Quarter, 1974.

...THIRD WORLD FORUM SPONSORS ANTICIPATING BIG TURNOUT...An estimated 2,500 persons are
expected on campus April 25, 26, and 27 for the Third World Bicentennial Forum. Sponsors of
the three-day event, most of them members of TESC's Non-White Coalition, say a wide variety
of speakers
many of them nationally known
will participate in the Forum, which will
offer workshops, panel discussions, lectures, films, dances, ethnic food and entertainment.
Enthusiasm for the celebration grew last summer after interested students traveled the
length of the West Coast sharing their ideas with other non-whites. John Woo, one of the
Forum coordinators, says the event is "more a celebration than a conference." "We want to
celebrate and commemorate the achievements and contributions of non-whites in the 200-year-old
history of the United States," he adds.
•The conference is aimed also at "establishing channels of -dialog between different
community organizations and individuals who share the same concerns and problems," Woo says.
Students hope to demonstrate that different ethnic nationalities "can, are and will work
together to correct injustices suffered in the past"
and at the same time offer interested
community residents a chance to understand attempts by non-whites to retain and combine their
cultural traditions within the nation's predominant culture.
Sponsored in part by a $2,500 grant from the Washington State Bicentennial Commission,
the Forum will also feature an exhibit of Third World art gathered from throughout the nation,
*d the selection (and possibly painting of) a giant mural depicting Third World cultures on
„ cement wall site yet to be selected.
An exact schedule of events can be obtained from the Non-White Coalition Office, 866-6034,
or the College Information Center, 866-6300.
...STUDENTS PREPARE TO LAUNCH TOTTEN INLET STUDY...Armed with transits and floats, oars and
binoculars, ten Evergreen students and two faculty members are about to cast off
onto the
waters of Totten Inlet, there to begin serious research that could affect the future of aquaculture industries in Mason and Thurston Counties and the quality of water in southern Puget
Sound.
Their task: to provide a comprehensive picture of tidal patterns in Totten Inlet. Its
purpose: to help oyster growers, ecologists, developers and others interested in the use of
lands and waters around the inlet gauge the flow of potential pollutants
such as sewage,
industrial effluents, or oil spills
into the area.
The project is one of six being undertaken by members of the Environmental Studies
academic program. After two quarters spent studying economics, urban planning and ecology,
students have sought and obtained working agreements with off campus agencies facing environmental problems. The Totten Inlet study was arranged through the Olympia Oysters Growers
Association, which is vitally concerned with preservation of the inlet's water quality.
What students want to know is how tidal action affects the spread of pollutants. Where,
for example, sewage once dumped into the Sound, is then carried. To find out, students will
launch their tidal study April 24 at low tide, and work full days through April 29, the period
of highest Spring tides. Working closely with faculty members Oscar Soule, biologist, and
Pete Taylor, oceanographer, they will concentrate their efforts on three sites along the inlet
Steamboat Island, Olympic View and Kamilche Point.
\MIMMS TO ADDRESS APRIL 24 ECCO LUNCHEON...Evergreen Faculty Member Maxine Mimms will be the
o-eatured speaker at the annual Spring luncheon of the Evergreen College Community Organization
(ECCO). The luncheon is set for noon, April 24 in the Big Chief room of the Tyee Motor Inn.
Reservations for the luncheon, which cost $3.60 per person, should be made by 5 p.m.
April 21 with ECCO member Jane Hopkins (943-1118).

...OLYMPIA HOMEMAKER DESIGNING FALL QUARTER "HOUSEWIVES" MODULAR...Evergreen student Mayy
Moorehead, an Olympia homemaker and mother of four, has undertaken an ambitious project she
hopes will result in the enrollment of increased numbers of women from the community in
college study programs. Working on an individual study contract with Faculty Member Maxine
Mimms, Mrs. Moorehead is planning a Fall Quarter, 1975 Modular Course for "housewives between
the ages of 25 and 75 who are returning or thinking of returning, to college." "After 25 years
of being a homemaker, wife and mother, I enrolled at Evergreen and have found it to be a
tremendous resource for me," she says. "I feel that the Olympia-area homemaker is also a real
source of ability and potential. My idea is to put the two together for the benefit of both."
Mrs. Moorehead has launched an all-out recruiting campaign in Thurston County, trying to
contact anyone willing to help put together a planning group of homemakers who can design the
Fall Quarter modular offering. She will host a coffee, tea, and discussion session April 29
at 3 p.m. in room 3112 of the Library. "All women
whether definitely interested or mildly
curious
are invited to attend," she says. Those wanting further information may call her
at 866-7869.
...TALK ON RAPE SCHEDULED...Maureen Saylor, therapy supervisor for the Sexual Offenders Unit
of Western State Hospital, will discuss "The Personality of a Rapist," in a 2 p.m. address (
April 23 in Lecture Hall One. The free, public talk has been organized as a response to the
film showing last week of "How to Say No to a Rapist," which has aroused objections from many
women on campus.

200-year-old history of the United States," he adds.
The conference, which has been publicized nationwide and is expected to draw considerable off-campus media interest, is aimed also at "establishing channels of dialog between
different community organizations and individuals who share the same concerns and problems,"
Woo says. Students hope to demonstrate that different ethnic nationalities "can, are and
will work together to correct injustices suffered in the past" --- and at the same time
offer Evergreeners a chance to understand attempts by non-whites to retain and combine
their cultural traditions within the nation's predominant culture.
Sponsored in part by a $2,500 grant from the Washington State Bicentennial Commission,
the forum will also feature an exhibit of Third World art gathered from throughout the
nation, and the selection (and possibly painting of) a giant mural depicting Third World
cultures on a cement wall site yet to be selected.
Student organizers say they're ready and waiting for the event --- but they need
community help in securing sleeping arrangements for their visitors. Space has already
been approved for pitching tents on campus for hardier participants, and other arrangements
have been made in campus housing and the College Recreation Center. Woo says, however,
that there's still a need for more spaces and he's hopeful community members will volunteer
to house guests in their homes during the Forum. If you're interested and able to offer
such space, contact the Non-White Coalition Office at 866-6034.

STUDENTS READY TO LAUNCH TOTTEN INLET STUDY
Armed with transits and floats, oars and binoculars, ten Evergreen students and two
faculty members are about to cast off --- onto the waters of Puget Sound's Totten Inlet,
there to unfold one age-old mystery of the sea. Sounds romantic, especially in the bright,
chill mornings of Spring. Yet the Evergreeners are engaged in serious research that could
affect the future of aquaculture industries in Mason and Thurston Counties and the quality
of water in southern Puget Sound.
Their task: to provide a comprehensive picture of tidal patterns in Totten Inlet.
Its purpose: to help oyster growers, ecologists, developers and others interested in the
use of lands and waters around the inlet gauge the flow of potential pollutants --- such
as sewage, industrial effluents, or oil spills --- into the area.
The project is one of six being undertaken by members of the Environmental Studies
academic program. After two quarters spent studying economics, urban planning and ecology,
students have sought and obtained working agreements with off campus agencies facing environmental problems. The Totten Inlet study was arranged through the Olympia Oysters Growers

2.
Association, which is vitally concerned with preservation of the inlet's water quality.
"The inlet is the only remaining area in southern Puget Sound which still supports
small oyster companies," Dan Tishman. a New York sophomore, explains. "Any sewage or other
pollutants dumped into the inlet
or where tides can possibly carry it into the inlet -f
degrades the water quality and increases the possibility for decertification of the oysters
by the State Department of Social and Health Services." Decertification, already ordered
along one section of the inlet, means oysters grown there cannot be sold.
What students want to know is how tidal action affects the spread of pollutants. Where,
for example, sewage once dumped into the Sound, is then carried. To find out, Tishman and
nine other students will launch their tidal study April 24 at low tide, and work full days
through April 29, the period of highest Spring tides. Working closely with faculty members
Oscar Soule. biologist, and Pete Taylor, oceanographer, they will concentrate their efforts
on three sites along the inlet
Steamboat Island, Olympic View and Kamilche Point.
But, they need help. Tishman says they'd like at least ten other students to volunteer
at least two days of their time to work with them crewing boats, tracking floats and
taking field notes. He asks all interested students to sign up in Library 1503 or call
866-6601 or 866-6604 as soon as possible. He says two dry runs are planned April 21 and 22
before they'll begin their real study April 24. Workshops are set to prepare students for
the study and Tishman hopes volunteers will sign up soon enough to take advantage of the
training sessions. He says the work will be demanding. "But," he adds, "it's also important.
It .may help preserve not only the water quality of the inlett but the way of life now enjoyed
by the small aquaculture farmers along it."
BYRON REENROLLED; HEARING SET MONDAY
Jerome Byron reenrolled at Evergreen Monday. The Sherman Oaks, California sophomore
was disenrolled Fall Quarter following a dispute with Faculty Member William Burford and
unsuccessful negotiations with Dean of Student Development Programs Larry Stenberg and
Provost Ed Kormondy.
Following his dismissal, Byron sought a hearing by the All Campus Hearing Board. Whd(
the request was denied, he filed suit April 2 against Evergreen in Thurston County Superior
Court asking that the court issue a restraining order to prevent Evergreen administrators
from expelling him before he received a formal hearing. Judget Hewitt Henry heard the case
April 7 and agreed to request a psychiatric test on Byron.
Evergreen's legal counsel, Assistant Attorney General Richard Montecucco, said results
of the tests issued April 11 indicated Byron was "not a threat to himself or other persons."
Montecucco then agreed to have Byron reenrolled April 14 and set up a hearing for April 21
at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3112. Named to the Hearing Board are permanent panel members Russ
Lidman, faculty; Chas Davies, staff, and Carlos Rose-White, student; staff members AI Spence
and Gail Martin and students Neil Bogue and Ellen Mosier. Alternates have also been
selected for the Monday meeting, which is open to the public.
FOUR NEW FACULTY SIGN ON
At least four new faces will be among the Fall Quarter faculty roster come September.
Virginia Ingersoll, Kaye-V Ladd, Susan Strasser and York Wong have all signed three-year,
full-time faculty contracts.
Ingersoll, an assistant professor of communications at the University of Pennsylvania,
has taught at California State College in San Bernardino and at the University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign.
She has also been a magazine editor, a reporter, and an editorial assistant
She earned her bachelor's degree in journalism and philosophy from Marquette University and
her doctorate in philosophy from the University of Illinois.
An assistant professor at Suffolk University in Boston, Massachusetts, Ladd has served
as a research consultant from the New England Aquarium in Boston and as a staff scientist
for Tyco Laboratories, Inc., in Waltham, Mass. She earned her bachelor's degree in chem
from Reed College in Portland, Oregon and her masters degree (in physical chemistry) and
doctorate (in inorganic chemistry)both from Brandeis University.
Strasser, now completing her doctoral dissertation on "The Effects of Household
Technology on the Roles of Women in America," has been a teaching assistant at the State

3.
University of New York at Stony Brook for three years. She earned her master's degree in
American history from Stony Brook and is completing her ph.d. there. Her bachelor's degree
in history was awarded from Reed College, too.
Wong, director of computer services at Evergreen for the past two years, taught the
Fall Quarter group contract in Minority Economic Development. He formerly served as a
management consultant for the City of New York, as a special assistant to the President of
Columbia University, and as a program consultant for the I.E. M. Watson Research Center.
He has a bachelor of science degree from the University of Arkansas, and a master's degree
in business administration from Columbia. He is currently chairman of the Tacoma Human
Relations Commission.
OLYMPIA HOMEMAKER DESIGNING FALL QUARTER "HOUSEWIVES" MODULAR
Evergreen student Mary Moorehead, an Olympia homemaker and mother of four, has undertaken an ambitious project she hopes will result in the enrollment of increased numbers of
women from the community in college study programs. Working on an individual study contract
with Faculty Member Maxine Mimms, Mrs. Moorehead is planning a Fall Quarter, 1975 Modular
Course for "housewives between the ages of 25 and 75 who are returning or thinking of returning, to college." "After 25 years of being a homemaker, wife and mother, I enrolled
at Evergreen and have found it to be a tremendous resource for me," she says. "I feel that
the.Olympia-area homemaker is also a real source of ability and potential. My idea is to
put the two together for the benefit of both."
As a result, Mrs. Moorehead has launched an all-out recruiting campaign in Thurston
County, contacting news media, clubs, organizations, and individuals
anyone willing to
help put together a planning group of homemakers who can design the Fall Quarter modular
offering. "The subject matter for the program is open," she says. "It can include samples
of the fun to be found in several disciplines at Evergreen, transition buffers for those
returning to college after long absences, examinations of how the college really works for
students, discovery of each woman's hidden potential
just about anything."
"The big problem is to find the housewife interested in learning more about the
possibilities for her at Evergreen, talking about what she needs in education, and then
planning studies for herself and others," she adds. "I feel that the woman who wants to
continue her education has special advantages in life experience and in the skills perfected
but often unrecognized, at home or in the community. The housewife who returns to college
has special problems, too, from her apprehensions, through dovetailing the roles involved,
to finding her own abilities and goals."
The next step for Mrs. Moorehead is the hosting of a coffee, tea, and discussion
session, scheduled for 3 p.m. April 29 in room 3112 of the Library. "All women
whether
definitely interested or mildly curious
are invited to attend," she says. Those wanting
further information may call her at 866-7869.
HATCH NAMED SOUNDING BOARD MODERATOR

Marcel Hatch, a sophomore from Priest Lake, Idaho, has been named Spring Quarter
moderator of the Evergreen Sounding Board. He replaces fellow student Larry Mauksch. Any
students interested in serving on the board are asked to contact Hatch or leave their names
and phone numbers at the Information Center.
MIMMS TO ADDRESS APRIL 24 ECCO LUNCHEON

Evergreen Faculty Member Maxine Mimms will be the featured speaker at the annual
Spring luncheon of the Evergreen College Community Organization (ECCO). The luncheon is
set for noon, April 24 in the Big Chief room of the Tyee Motor Inn.
Mimms, currently coordinator of Evergreen's Learning Resources Center, will discuss
"Bits and Pieces of Fascinating Womanhood." Mimms has her bachelors degree in education
and master's in sociology, and her work experience includes serving as special assistant
to the director of the U.S. Department of Labor's Women's Bureau, director of Iri-Service
Education for Seattle Public Schools and program coordinator for the Seattle University New
Careers Project. She has also taught in public schools at all age levels, and served as a

4,
teacher of special education in the Lake Washington School District. In addition, Minims
is well known on campus for her candor and wit!

Kuehnle defeated
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES APPROVES EVERGREEN BUDGET

by Dick Nichols

The Washington House of Representatives Thursday morning (April 10) approved
$12,733,685 in state general operating funds for Evergreen during the 1975-77 biennium
following a floor debate in which three amendments proposed by arch-Evergreen foe Rep.
James Kuehnle (R. Spokane) were soundly defeated. The total approved was $350,815 lower
than requested by the governor but $461,100 higher than.originally requested by the House
Ways and Means Committee. Evergreen's operating budget and those of all other agencies
funded by the state will, when floor action is completed, return to the Rules Committee for
scheduling as one massive bill on third and final reading next week. The state budget, on
second reading this week, has been considered in separate sections but will be presented
as one package for final consideration. Evergreen Assistant to the President Les Eldridge
says the next stop for the budget bill will be Senate Ways and Means, which already has
completed most of its hearings. "The Senate version of the budget should be ready for floor
action the week after next," he added.
LOWER THAN THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
Governor Daniel J. Evans last December proposed state general fund appropriations
(exclusive of local and grants and contracts funds) for Evergreen of $13,084,500, which,
while an increase over 1973-75 totals, represented an effective decrease from current
operating levels. Last week's draft House Ways and Means version of the budget cut
$811,000 from the governor's proposed budget, plus $211,000 more which would have been
held in reserve until the second year of the biennium under the "lag enrollment" approach
which bases biennial enrollment projections on current-year enrollment levels. President
Charles McCann persuaded Representatives A. N. Shinpoch and Del Bausch to propose a successful amendment which added $461,100 to the budget to accommodate a 200-student-per-year
growth and reduced the effective cut in the governor's proposed Evergreen peneral fund
budget to $350,815. That brought the House request to $12,733,685, whichwas approved Thursday. At the same time, representatives also deleted an amendment from all of the higher
education budgets which would have specified faculty/student ratios at the upper division
and lower division levels. Defeat of the amendment allows the institutions more flexibility
in internal budgeting, a matter particularly crucial to Evergreen because of the nature
of its programs.
KUEHNLE FLOOR ATTACK FAILS
Rep. Kuehnle launched a floor attack on the college, charging that there is a lack of
acceptance of Evergreen degrees in the "real world"; asserting that out-of-state enrollment
figures are higher than reported; contending that there is an imbalance (liberal versus conservative) in the makeup of the faculty and consequently academic programs, and stating no
legislative mandate exists for innovation at the institution. He also said that interviews
with four of five Evergreen trustees indicated a desire for "changing Evergreen's directions.
Each charge was soundly refuted by other representatives led by Bausch, John Hendricks,
Charles Savage, Eleanor Lee, Jeff Douthwaite, Bob Charette, John Bagnariol, and Shinpoch.
Kuehnle offered an amendment which would have stripped all of Evergreen's funding. It
failed 88-6. Another amendment which would have removed the $461,100 restore<ito the Ways
and Means recommendation was defeated 75-20. And, an amendment requiring the Board of
Trustees to report to the next Legislature how well Evergreen is reaching its goals and
objectives, serving Southwest Washington students, and reflecting the "values of the state
and local community" was defeated 68-28.

P.,

TRUSTEES MAY SEEK APPROVAL POWERS
Agenda items for the April 17 Board of Trustees meeting, scheduled for 10:30 a.m. in
Library 3112, include a resolution, requested by Spokane Trustee Halvor Halvorson, to prohif
changes of Evergreen's organizational staffing pattern without prior approval of the Board.
The resolution, which Halvorson said he would not present unless all five Trustees were
present, refers to the Board's "belief" that "no changes in the organizational staffing
pattern which would include professional exempt positions should be made without its approval."
It resolves that the organization chart, revised by the Trustees last August, "shall not be
modified without the prior approval" of the Board.
Other items listed on the Board agenda as the Newsletter went to press include the
approval of sale of tuition bonds and a presentation by the Gay Resource Center on
inclusion of the terms "political ideology and sexual orientation" into Evergreen's Human
Rights document.
WORKING CLIMATE DTF REPORT EXPECTED SOON
A complex 18-page report by the Disappearing Task Force on Working Climate at Evergreen
may be in faculty and staff mail boxes today. The five-member DTF which began its work last
summer, completed its recommendations March 25 and referred them to President Charles ^J.
McCann, who is expected to request campus-wide distribution of the report today or the first
of next week.
In its opening remarks, the DTF report recommends a "broad policy change" and offers a
list of specific problems which "must be attacked individually now." The broad change,
outlined under specific recommendations to the President, calls for initiation of new
administrative policies that "will result in all employees functioning under a directive
rather than a supervisory system." It also recommends that the President set aside funds
for hiring temporary employees at critical times and for inservice training programs. It
asks that he explore the institution of rotation systems in all units and explore "ways to bring people in the community together informally and often."
In its section on Vice President's offices, the DTF report calls for the selection of
new employees to be made on the basis of how they fit the Evergreen system. It notes, "they
(new employees) should be examined on their understanding of the COG and Human Rights
Documents, social contract and the academic system before being hired..." It further
suggests that "in filling all vacancies, Evergreen employees should be considered first..."
. The document, obviously a product of long, hard work by its authors
Chairman Paul
Marsh, and members Burt Guttman, Ed Reid, Larry Stenberg and Pearl Vincent
could mean a
lot of changes at Evergreen. The Newsletter, which does not run editorials, DOES suggest
that everyone read this document thoroughly and respond to it.

FOSTER HEADING 0/A OFFICE; "WATCHDOG" APPROACH INITIATED
The Ombuds/Advocate Office will take on more of the "watchdog" role Spring Quarter and
divide its time more evenly between advocacy and ombudsmanship, according to its new
coordinator John Foster.
Former business manager of the Cooper Point Journal, Foster assumed the new post following the resignation of Andy Ryan, who remains on the 9-member 0/A staff, but did not want to
continue as coordinator.
Foster says the 0/A Office, located in Library 3228, is being reorganized and is
"assuming new functions." "We want to assume more of a watchdog approach," he says. "We
want to help the community interpret documents, we want to attend meetings and be able to
use campus media as a means of letting people know what's going on
before issues develop."
Foster says his staff needs the help of volunteers "to help write papers, conduct
research, attend meetings and, in general become involved in college governance." Describing
the functions of his office as "filling the governance vacuum at Evergreen," the new 0/A
coordinator invites all interested students to stop by his office, which is open from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. weekdays, or call him at 866-6496.

MOSS APPOINTMENT DISPUTE NOW IN COURT
Washington State Superior Court is the next step in the continuing controversy
over Vice President Dean Clabaugh's appointment of John Moss to the dual directorship of
Personnel and Auxiliary Services. The dispute was finally settled
at the college level
—
February 26, when the Board of Trustees acted as a quasi-judicial board to hear the
case, appealed by Clabaugh, after the All Campus Hearing Board found Clabaugh's appointment
of Moss in violation of both the letter and the spirit of Evergreen's Affirmative Action
Policy. The Trustees, by a four to one vote, upheld Clabaugh's appointment, thus reversing
the All Campus Hearing Board.
Evergreen Faculty Member Hap Freund, an attorney, filed a petition with Superior Court
Mareh 27, asking the court to "review and reverse" the decision of the Trustees. The
petition was signed by Evergreen Faculty Members Nancy Allen and Naomi Greenhut, Staff
Members Lee Chambers and Ed Evans, and students Perry Pittman and Tina Wear.
In the petition to the Superior Court, Freund charged that the Trustees' decision was
in violation of the Higher Education Administrative Procedures Act; that it exceeded the
Trustees' statutory authority, was a "clearly erroneous" decision "in view of the entire
record" of the case, and that the decision was "arbitrary and capricious." He also called
for the Court to reinstate the decision of the All Campus Hearing Board.
Assistant Attorney General Richard Montecucco, who serves as Evergreen's official
legal counsel, said he had no idea when the petition would be heard by a Superior Court
Judge. He noted that a judge can elect to refuse to hear the case, dismiss it, affirm or
reverse the Trustees' findings
or "just about anything he wants to do."
THREE STUDENT PROJECTS WIN NSF AWARDS TOTALING $35,980
Three Evergreen student projects have received a total of $35,980 from the National
Science Foundation for research which began March 15. The three are among five grants
in the State of Washington made through the NSF Student-Originated Studies program. Evergreen NSF project directors and their awards include Carl Maass, $12,530; Nancy Musgrove,
$12,640; and Cynthia Swanberg, $10,810.
Maass, a Spokane junior, will serve as student director of the $12,530 project entitled
"Distribution and Concentration of Heavy Metals in Wildlife near Kellogg, Idaho." Maass is
a member of the Ecology and Chemistry of Pollution Coordinated Studies program, and he will
work with Mark Rutherford, Liam O'Callaghan and five other students under the direction of
Faculty Member Steve Herman, a biologist.
Nancy Musgrove, a Longview junior, will work with Jacques Monrer and Bruce Drager and
five other students
all also members of the Ecology and Chemistry of Pollution Program —
in a $12,640 research effort to study the "Distribution .and Biomagnification of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in the Benthic (bottom-dwelling) Community (of southern Puget Sound)."
Faculty Member Mike Beug, a chemist, will serve as advisor to students as they try to
determine how the highly toxic, man-made PCB chemicals are distributed in six sites in
southern Puget Sound.
For the third NSF award, student project director Swanberg, a Seattle junior . along
with Peter Dratch and five other students, will attempt to explore the possible effects of
wolves in the Olympic National Park. Dave Milne, faculty biologist, will advise the "wolf"
study which will involve field research at the park as well as extensive literature research.

ADDITIONAL LEAP FUNDS GRANTED
Evergreen has received a $4,759 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice for the Law/"
Enforcement Assistant Program (LEAP). Evergreen Financial Aid Director Kay Atwood says
the grant brings Evergreen's total of LEAP funds for this academic year to $26,759.
Funds from the program are used to help pay tuition for some 40 Evergreen students
currently engaged in (and planning to continue working in) the fields of criminal justice
and law enforcement.
She says ten percent of the funds are also used for students who
are not currently working in those fields but plan to after graduation.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES DTF WILL MAKE APRIL 11 DEADLINE
Provost Ed Kormondy, co-chairman of the Administrative Procedures Disappearing Task
Force, said the group fully expects to make its final report to President Charles McCann
by April 11. McCann named Kormondy and Vice President Dean Clabaugh to co-chair the DTF
following a public address March 5 in which he cited the need for clarification of certain
administrative procedures relating to affirmative action and recruiting and hiring of
exempt personnel. The DTF was created after the Board of Trustees reversed the All-Campus
Hearing Board's decision on Clabaugh's controversial appointment of John Moss to the dual
directorship of Personnel and Auxiliary Services.
The DTF is scheduled to finalize its recommendations at a meeting April 8, at 1:00 p.m.
Kormondy said the location had not yet been selected.
Named to the DTF are: Faculty Members Jeanne Hahn, Richard Jones, Don Jordon; Staff
Members Judy Annis, Jovana Brown, Helen Hannigan, Jim Johnson, Rindy Jones, Doris McCarty,
Willie Parson, Jerry Schillinger, Charen Sharar, Darrel Six, Larry Stenberg, Dan Weiss and
Ken Winkley; and students Carol Curtz, Ned Swift, James Tatz and Raymond Turner.
LELAND RESIGNS FROM BANK; SHORTER HOURS TO CONTINUE
Marie Leland, manager of Evergreen's branch of the South Sound National Bank, resigned
last week. In a telephone interview, Leland said she resigned because the bank's directors
were eliminating the need for an officer at the Evergreen branch and had reduced services
to its TESC customers.
"They (the Bank's directors) plan to make the Evergreen branch just a depository bank,"
Leland said. Operating hours have been cut from eight hours a day to three and she said
she "couldn't continue working there without being able to provide the services I feel are
necessary." Leland added that she feels bank officials "will have a rude awakening" if they
continue operating the bank with shorter hours and fewer services. "They're building up a
lot of resentment toward the lack of services," she said.
Brian Brown, executive vice president of South Sound, said his agency plans to continue
operating the bank three hours a day. He said the Evergreen branch has lost money since it
opened three years ago, and that bank officials had to decide between either closing the
branch office
completely or reducing its hours. He also indicated that no new manager
has been named to replace Leland; that the bank's management, for the time being, will
continue with supervisory help from officials of the Lacey branch.
