"The experiment works"
'86 Convocation Highlights Plans, Budget and "Shibumi"
by Keith Eisner, Information Services
Applause, laughter, a cello and
flute duet, and the surprise appearance of an Evergreen regular—a
big, black shaggy dog—enlivened
this week's staff and faculty Convocation. Louise and Eric Moon from
Bloomingdale's School of Fine Art
provided the music as over 250
staff and faculty members packed
Lecture Hall one on Tuesday.
After welcoming the faculty
back and applauding the work of the
staff, President Joe Olander introduced Board of Trustee Chairman
Richard Page. "In years past," Page
said, "one might say, 'Welcome back
to the Evergreen experiment. 1 But
that is no longer the case. The
results are in and it's positive—
this college is here to stay. The
experiment works."
Strategic Plan Discussed
Olander followed Page, stating
in his opening remarks that, "I'd
like this college to be a little
bit bigger, a little better, more
diverse in its ethnicity, and a
hell of a lot more fun."
He then'discussed Evergreen's
Strategic Plan which was approved
by the Board of Trustees last
month. The plan, he explained, is
not completed. "Although we have a
product, the vice-presidents and I
are now in the phase of refining
and implementing the directives of
the plan." He then outlined the
following major themes:
1. The Strategic Plan implies
that Evergreen is going from a
"culture of innovativeness to one
of innovativeness and excellence."
The plan calls for more program
evaluation to .identify and develop
sources of strength across campus.
2. The plan recognizes that
growth and development are inevitable and desirable and states a
commitment to plan and implement
such growth with great care.
3. Curriculum Development,
including the commitment to community service, exploring Pacific Rim
or "Northwest Studies," filling in
the holes in our curriculum and
establishing our strongest educational programs as "Centers of
Excellence," which will help us
define what we know works best.
4. Greater ethnic diversification in students, faculty,
staff and curriculum.
'87-89 Budget Request
The theme of Evergreen's 1987-89
budget request, said Olander, "is
completing the college in an era of
limited resources. I am pleased
that this budget is driven by
policy, not the reverse." He outlined four major initiatives.
1. Quality Improvement. The
college is asking for $1.7 million
to improve educational quality for
its current enrollment of 2600 FTE.
Key objectives are:
A. $500,000 for faculty and
program development.
B. $350,000 to expand the
Library collection.
C. $90,000 to escalate
assessment of academic programs.
D. The improvement of student
life through more effective administration, academic advising and
increased retention and recruitment
of minority students.
2. Management Efficiency. The
college is asking for $1.2 million
for the acquisition of hardware and
software for our business operations and increased staff development and training.
3. $3.5 million for Enrollment
Growth. "Evergreen's physical plant
capacity can accommodate 3200 FTE
students," sa-id Olander, "I'm
asking for an increase of 600 FTE
students by 1988." He said that
such growth would provide greater
economy of scale and help reduce
the institutional cost per-student,
allowing completion of necessary
faculty hiring to insure quality in
all Core Programs and more opportunities for advanced study.
4. Faculty Salary Increase. Evergreen joins the Higher Education
Coordinating Board in recommending
a 2Q% increase in faculty salaries.
This requested increase- is based on
the HEC Board's study of faculty
salaries at peer institutions in
eight other states.
The total budget of $45.3
million represents a 30% increase,
reported Olander, and is "a hefty
but honest request." He also stated
that the $16.3 million capital
budget request will address such
programs as safety projects,
program support, property protection, energysaving projects and a
multifunctional community building.
Olander closed by remarking on
the nationwide obsession with the
"search for excellence." "Instrumentalism," he said, "is the madness of our times." Instead, he
urged an attainment of "sflibumi," a
Japanese concept of "inner
excellence, of having a sense of
your own craft and who you are.
"I am much more excited to be
here this year. Good things are
coming our way."
Unannounced Wag Takes Stage
During the break before Provost
Patrick Hil1's address to the
faculty (staff were invited to
stay) a black dog with a red bandanna trotted down the aisle of the
hall and across the stage, finally
lying down behind the podium. "Back
to Evergreen's returning values,"
called out one wit. Hill added to
the levity by paraphrasing
Olander's instructions to him:
"I'll tell them everything's going
to be wonderful and relaxed. You
tell them about the 48 new DTF's."
Instead, Hill outlined four
challenges for the new year. In
brief, they are:
1. Assessment of Faculty
Evaluation, including the
"necessity for the faculty to
rewrite portions of the Faculty
Handbook that deal with reappointraent and retention policies."
2. Meeting the Strategic Plan's
call for reasonable growth.
3. The formation of a Native
American Study Group, which will
work with Faculty Member David
Whitener to answer such questions
as "Can the college do a better job
of serving the NAS program?" and
"How do we integrate a diverse set
of pedagogies in one institution?"
4. Two to three hundred members
of The Society for Values in Higher
Education, a national organization
of 1300 professionals, will be on
campus next August for a major,
five-day conference. Hill said that
they are deeply interested in Evergreen and the experience of people
who have taught at an institution
where interdisciplinary study is
promoted and valued. Evergreen
faculty members will write essays
for the conference on such topics
as applied technology, agriculture
and the Liberal Arts, and the feminization of inquiry. Academic Dean
David Marr and Faculty Member David
Hitchens will coordinate a project
to write intellectual autobiographies of Evergreen faculty.
Hill predicted that this agenda
will go a long way toward revitalizing our faculty, showcasing our
academic excellence and bringing
together the Evergreen community.
SAGA Staffer June Brown passed away
on August 25, due to injuries received in an August 8 auto accident.
June worked here for 14 years and
the campus treasures the memory of
her smile and friendliness.

IT WASN'T ALL HARD WORK AND NO PLAY for Greeners this summer. Ranging in
experience from near-pro to first-time-ever, 28 staff and faculty golf
enthusiasts turned out for the first annual GeeFour (Greater Geoduck Golf
Gathering) at Scott Lake Golf Course in July. Low cards for men and women

Lela Bauman (mother of Accounting Assistant Supervisor Debbie Davies) with
a 42. "Big Stick" Larry Stenberg (below) won the GeeFour prize for Closest

couldn't have done it without the steady support and comprehensive dental
coverage of "Ironman" Doug Scrima.

New Smoking Policy Clearing the Air
"Nearly everyone has been supportive of
the new Smoking Policy," says Larry
Stenberg, director of Community and
Alumni Relations. Stenberg, who chaired
the DTF that drew up the policy last
spring, has also been in charge of its
implementation over the summer.
"The only thing left to do," he
says, "is to supply the main entrances
of all campus buildings with ashtray
urns and install permanent signage."
Also, the smoking lounges in the first
floor lobby of the Library and the
third floor balcony of the CAB will be
carpeted sometime this fall.
"While the reason for creating the
policy was to protect people's health,"
comments Stenberg, "we also thought it
appropriate to make the selected smoking
areas as comfortable as possible."
With implementation nearly done, any
complaints about smoking should first be
addressed to the offending party and,
if there is further complaint, to the
person supervising the area in question.
"We're all responsible for enforcing
the policy," Stenberg says. "It's only
as effective as people are willing to
cooperate and support it. I've got
faith it can work at Evergreen."
