Coalition
•

To the Editor:
Wow, what an eye opener! As a
member of the Evergreen Pet Protection
Society which sent about the false
pedigree papers recently, I was astounded
by the administration's reply. I saw our
action as The Coalition for a Humane
Evergreen Environment as an attempt to
get the administration to pay attention to
what we were saying about a very real
problem caused by such an early deadline
for paying tuition. I had faith in the reasonableness of the administration; I had
thought that they would at least respond
to our statement in the Cooper Point Journal by trying to refute the good sense of
our arguments. What a fool I was!
They must not have even read what we
said: their only response was a statement
by the student accounts supervisor about
our irresponsibility (and an angry namecalling letter by a student). They completely ignored the issue. Thank God we
have never revealed ourselves because we
are dealing with people who won't even
respond rationally to a reasonable statement.

TO
THE

EDITOR

The only course the administration
seems to have left open to us i to apply
more pressure on them, as humanely as
possible. Frankly, I'm scared. This course
is dangerous and takes up time and
money, but it seems to be the only way we
might get them to fa~e the problem.
Nonetheless, I feel I must make a last
appeal to reason on their part before act·
ing again with the Coalition. If the
administration really wants us to go
through regular channels, won't they
please publish a list of decisions significantly modified by the Sounding Board?
Show us that regular channels work.
It's easy to see decisions the administration has made without regard to student
opinion, like the recent ones concerning
pets and next year's curriculum. As they
pointed out, though, all the power rests
with the administration. Show us by their
past record of effects that regular
channels are not just a farce but actually
do have some influence.
The administration's response to our
letter was quite a shock to me. I am forced
to the conclusion that either our demands
were so just that the administration could
only make the immature response of ignoring the issue as they did, or else they
are not concerned with listening to reason
at all.

Either way, the freedom of Evergreen
is seriously undermined by the lack of student influence on school policy. I know
there is outside pressure from the legisla·
ture that has helped bring this about.
However, if we must lose our freedom,
let's at least die an honorable death,
aware that we are dying, and not keep up
the rhetoric about how free we are.
Since the Student Supervisor didn't include them in his letter, we would like to
point out here some existing possible alternatives for those who won't be able to
pay their tuition on time for next quarter
before the end of this quarter:
1. arrange a "tuition waiver" for ·
yourself.
We always hear that we will be disenrolled if we don't pay up on time. This isn't
an ironclad rule. You can arrange to pay
later by going to the student accounts
office and a ·king for a tuition waiver. Do
it! Why hasn't this alternative been publicized'?
2. arrange for an "emergency loan".
you can get a loan to pay your tuition and
later pay back the loan. It will save you a
lot of unnecessary scrimping. Why hasn't
this alternative been publicized?
3. let's get an installment plan.
A lot of colleges allow their students to
pay their fees on an installment plan. Reg-

ular colleges do it - why can't we if we
are supposed to be so flexible and responsive? Why hasn't this possibility been explored?
4. Best of all - here's an alternate plan
that just might work.
The main reason for having everyone pay
is so that the administration will know
who is going to actually be here. Why not
just have everyone sign up who plans on
staying before the end of the previous
term. We could demand a fifty dollar deposit which would be forfeited if a student
who signed didn't show up. This would
allow for planning the new courses and
give the people on the waiting list the
·same amount of time to prepare. That's
not a finished plan but it's worth thinking
about it. Why hasn't this possibility been
explored?
I guess it's time we quit bickering and
threatening and complaining about the
treatment we are receiving from each
other and confront the issue. What's going
to be done about the unfair tuition deadline? Does anybody care?

a Humane Evergreen Environment

More response
To the Editor:
After reading the sequence of letters in
the January 11 Journal concerning the
false disenrollment notices sent over the
Christmas break, I found myself wishing
that I could meet some member of the
Coalition for a Humane Evergreen and
address a few questions to him/her. Since
the only way I know of to make contact
with this group is through an open letter
in this paper, here goes:
Dear Coalition for a Humane Evergreen,
I feel I, along with most other Evergreen students new here this year, do not
have any clear idea of what exactly your
group is after, or why you have chosen to
make use of the tactics you have. I am
fully aware of the sorts of nastiness that
often go on behind the bland facade of any
bureaucratic structure, and I also feel tremendously ignorant of what is happening
in the upp.er reaches of the Evergreen
hierarchy; in fact, I doubt if I even know
e1_1ough to frame the questions that would
need to be asked in order to gain this enlightenment.
The qu~stions that I would pose to you,
then, are these:
(1) What is going on? For what reasons
are you all so upset, and why should I
perhaps be indignant too? (In this particular instance, for example, how many

people were actually forced to leave school
this quarter because of an inflexible enforcement of the tuition deadline?)
(2) In a realistic framework, what effective steps can be taken to change the
things that you are dissatisfied with?
(3) Don't you all realize that by pulling
half-baked, utterly inconsiderate, selfrighteous, and egocentric high-schoolfreshman stunts like the phony disenrollment letters, you are only succeeding in
alienating yourselves from the rest of the
Evergreen community, and making it far
less likely that potentially sympathetic
people will feel like giving consideration to
even the most reasonable of your
'demands'?
For my own part, I am more than willing to listen, and if convinced, to act; but I
certainly need more information than I
(we) have now. If you all would publish
some detailed, non-abstract manifesto (or
whatever) explaining your position and
offering some proposals likely to bring
about the desired results, or would just
explain yourselves to me alone, then you
would surely be doing something more
positive and helpful for your cause than
could be accomplished by carrying out a
hundred acts of petty sabotage, whose
major tangible effect is to cause very real
anguish for innocent people.

Editorial
To The Editor:
We feel it necessary to clarify the
"staff' editorial written by Mr. Eric L.
Stone. After doing some research into the
status of Special students with regard to
their rights as a student we have come to
entirely different conclusions; the subtle
difference being their basis in fact.
A memo from the Board of Trustees'
meeting of July, 197~ which established
the positions of Special student and Auditor, states, "A special student is . . .
eligible for all rights, privileges and benefits as given to regular students regarding
access to facilities".
This clearly states that special students
do, in fact, have equal rights. This is only
appropriate as their tuition ($80 for one
credit) is subject to the same proportional
divisions as regular students. Therefore a
proportion of their money subsidizes the
Cooper Point Journal and some worthwhile college services funded by the Student Activities Board. Activities, not education, budgets these services.
To clarify this issue of special students
we would like to explore Ed Kormondy's

December lOth memo as ~·quoted" in the
last issue. We brought the .issue up in f
discussion with Kormondy and he explained that he was not trying to establish
policy, but was only expressing an opinr
ion. At this time he also expressed con.
cern that his memo was being used as
policy in decision-making politics and furthermore suggested that all such decisions be made on an individual basis. He
assumed when he wrote the memo that
Special Students would be people from the
Olympia community such as housewives,
retired folk, and working men, all wanting
a taste of Evergreen. He felt their commitment to be generally one of temporary
interest.
Whereas in the specific ·CfiSe of the
Cooper Point Journal's editorship, the
person in question had been a full-time
Evergreen student, was seeking re-admission, and was on the waiting list. His
only educational option at that point was
the position of Special Student. His case
then indicated a 'permanent' commitment
to the college.
We are disturbed that the editorial in
question was not accurate but evasive in
dealing with the Special Student rating as
"non-student", and thereby questionably
justifying the non-consideration of Special
Student for positions to which they havel
the right. The case of the KAOS Program
Director we are not familiar with.
However to deny the editorship of thet
Cooper Point Journal on the basis of Spe- l
cial Student status is to dichotomize the
problem away from its central concern;
could the man in question do the job. 1
Instead, this implemented a loophole .
which appears both hypocritical and a diversion of the argument to an irrelevant
and minor issue.

To The Community:
Better late than not at all ... the Security Office now has an electronic inscriber
with which to mark property with identifying names or numbers. We extend an invitation to all community members to
bring any item they would like to have
marked to the Security Office. If you have
items that are too large to conveniently
transport or if it is not possible for you to
come to the office, please give us a call and
we will come by with the inscriber.
We have found that property marked in
this manner is much easier to recover in
case of loss.

Tradition hangs on at Evergreen

Even though Evergreen is not a "tradin tiona!" school, there are students here
• 1 who are as traditional as those at any
1 other college or university. The traditional
'I• students tend to be quieter and more accepting of Evergreen life; they pay little
n attention to the administration, read their
" books for seminars on time, and become
n militant only when something disturbs
' their peaceful existence.
The students that I have labeled as tra' ditional oftentimes may be regarded as
" radical in their home towns and as conservatives at Evergreen. Maybe they do
smoke dope, or live with their lovers, or
l dress differently, but as students they
aren't all that different from students at
r. many liberal arts colleges.
The above is, granted, a generalization
but it does apply to some members of the
Evergreen community. An example of a

Guest commentary

UFWU and the farmworkers )
•

"Before the Union, farm workers slllved for 12 - 13 years
without a day's vacation. The foreman had complete control.
The foreman would approach a worker saying: 'You have one
hour to prune 30 plllnts. If in that hour you don't, hit the road,
there's the white line. ' Those were the days when a farm
worker with a family of 13, had to settle for an hourly rate of
$1.15. If one of his kids died, he had to beg for the money to pay
for the funeral.
"But the Union has improved our working and living conditions 100%. The work isn't killing us any more. Workers aren't
harassed and fired as they were before. Workers no longer
have to jump when the grower comes, nor take off their hats in
homage to him.
"When the Union came, out went the crooked foreman, the
despots and the lllbor contractors who earned up to $35,000 a
year by robbing the crew they hired."
(Schenley workers Daniel Sanchez and Lorenzo Soludado and
Luis Leon,· interview in El Malcriado, June 1972)
.....

The grower knew that workers brought in from Mexico,
many without papers, would feel helpless. He kept them on his
labor camp isolated. If they were Braceros, they were contracted to him. If a worker rubbed the boss the wrong way, he
was gone, back to Mexico. The growers worked their workers
hard, housed them poorly and took large cuts from their checks
to pay for it.
If that wasn't enough, labor contractors who were hired to
supply workers also took a cut of the wages, at times demanding a kickback at the end of the week in exchange for a guarantee of a job on Monday.
Ten hours a day, six days a week were no exception. Missing
a day was grounds for firing. In return for a season's work, you
were told once the crop was in to get lost, see you next year.
Even the barest needs were bothersome to the growers.
Before the union movement, toilets were not provided by the
ranchers, even for crews where men and women worked together. Often there was no drinking water and if there was, it
was too much for the growers to spend a few cents for cups an old soda can for a crew of 30 was enough, they figured.
There was always a danger of being sprayed by pesticides
and other poisons. Growers rarely took precautions to safeguard the health of their workers. Many workers were
poisoned by pesticides or herbicides, the growers didn't care.
Product;on for profit, that's all they cared about.
Workers never forgot this treatment which was especially
bad during the 13 years of the bracero program. So, when the
Filipino and Mexican grape workers walked out in' 1965, field
workers up and down the state and in other parts of the country
took notice. When in 1970, the UFWU won its important victory with the signing of growers representing 85% of the grape
industry, farm workers stood up.
Farm workers stand up
From the lettuce fields of Salinas, to citrus groves in Florida,
to hop fields in Yakima, Washington, to Arizona melon workers, farm workers stood up and began fighting the rotten conditions forced on them.
Farm workers were no longer the poorest of the poor, the

downtrodden. The grower who once praised the campesinos for
bringing him so much wealth, now hated them and their Union.
Workers everywhere respect UFWU. Farm workers everywhere fight for it. It has brought us dignity and power and a
better life. Wherever the Union has struck, wages have risen
sharply, not only on ranches where contracts have been won,
but on all ranches in the area which are forced to raise their
wages to try and appease their workers and check the spread of
the Union.
Under UFWU contracts, we have job security, protection
from pesticides and other dangerous working conditions, a
grievance procedure, medical benefits, and so on.'Foremen can
no longer talk bad to us, or we will get rid of them as has happened many times. We elect our representatives and participate in all grievance proceedings and contract negotiations.
There are no highly paid union officials. UFWU officials get less
than the lowest paid workers.
Agriculture is big business
When the union movement began, it was not directed at the
small family farmer. It was not the hired hand helping the farmer with his few acres that walked out on strike in Delano
(1965), in Salinas (1970), or Florida (1971). The small farmer,
like the corner grocery store, is fast disappearing.
Agriculture is in the hands of huge corporations whose executives run their corporate ranches from plush city offices. Many
ranch corporations are part of giant monopolies like Tenneco,
Butte Gas and Oil, Southern Pacific Railroad, Union Oil Company, Safeway, Inc., or banks like the Bank of America. Big
corporations make up '1% of California's landowners. They control more than 80% of the productive land.
These corporations have grown rich off the exploitation of
workers "imported" from the countries of the Third World. The
Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Puerto Ricans, Blacks, Mexicans,
Hindus, Arabs, and Portuguese have all worked in the fields of
California and around the country. To keep wages at rock
bottom, the growers have always used racial divisions to keep
farm workers unorganized.
When farm workers have been organized, it has often been in
unions with racist white leadership - like the Teamsters
Union, which has a large Third World membership in the canneries. No wonder, then, that the agri-businessmen and their
industrial buddies are scared green by a multi-national union
run by Third World workers.
The UFWU has been an example to Chicano, Black, and
Asian workers throughout the country - in the Jields, in the
non-union shops like Farah Pants in El Paso, Texas, in the
sweatshops of Los Angeles, and in the canneries of the West
Coast. The leadership that minority workers have provided in
many of the most important struggles of the last ten years is
the reason big businessmen fear them and why they hate the
UFWU.

Jackson on the issues:

Making points
by The Centaur

State legislators had an opportunity to
hear the advice of one of the country's
foremost presidential prospe._cts recently,
Sen. Henry M. Jackson.
Tight security was obvious as Jackson
addressed a joint legislative session last
Tuesday on the energy crisis and national
and international politics.
Jackson, in his typically fluent and
charismatic style of speaking, appeared to
win the hearts of many of the state's lawmakers and some 500 observers watching
from the galleries of the House.
Well aware of his audience and the
myriad of TV cameras surrounding him,
Jackson began his speech with positive
reinforcement for the citizens of the state.
He said that Washington and Oregon
"lead the country in the conservation of
oil."
According to Jackson, the number one
"key concern immediately is what impact
the energy shortage will have on our economy." He said the two major areas of
concern in Washington State during the
energy crisis are the transportation
(Boeing) and recreation (Expo 74) industries.

Moving on to national politics, Jackson
said he thinks William Simon, National
Energy Czar, is "doing the best job he
can," and that Simon is a "great patriotic
citizen" who "deserves the help of all
citizens."
Jackson seemed to know his facts about
the energy crisis. Reeling off an impressive array of figures about the energy sup;:>lies of the world, Jackson said total oil
reserves reachable with modern technology total 600 billion barrels. He said 300
billion of that is in Saudi Ara.bia alone.
According to Jackson's figures, over
100 billion barrels of oil are located in
Alaska, with another 3 trillion barrels in
the form of shale packed away in the
Rocky Mountains.
Jackson said he plans to introduce a bill
in the Senate to require all major oil companies to come under federal chartering
and regulation, and, if Jackson has his
way, full public disclosure as to oil company profits, reserves, and operations.
He is also introducing legislation that
would provide $20 billion over the next
ten years for energy research and development. The result would "make the U.S.
independent within the next decade" (presumably from Arab oil supplies).

•

'74

In the area of international oil relations,
Jackson had some harsh words for the
Arabs. Speaking emotionally at times,
Jackson said America could not allow a
"tin-horned inferno like Gadafhi" to shut
off U.S. oil supplies "at any time". He said
"blackmail knows no limit," and Jackson
complained that the cost of Arab oil has
risen six-fold in the past year, from $3.50
to $20 a barrel.
To most political observers, Jackson is
hard at work on the campaign trail. His
press conference went well, and his
speech was tightly executed, although he
didn't really say anything new. He appeared confident, honest, and sharp, but
it's hard to tell if Jackson was just comfortable in his home state, or if he has
adopted the smooth style of a national
politician out for a big win.
In either case, he is definitely in the
running for President. According to a recent Harris poll, Jackson trails Vice-President Gerald Ford by only two percentage
points, while Sen. Ted Kennedy is behind
Ford by four. But, as Jackson said, "it's a
long way to '76."

KAOS-10 watt giant expands
by John Enlow

On the third floor of the College Activities Building there is a yellow wall where
once was a lounge. Behind the lemon-yellow, the crew of KAOS are moving into
their new studios.
In the front room, which is a conference/meeting/lounge area, station manager Lee Chambers is sitting on the plush
couch eating lunch and talking with
various KAOS staff, taking care of the
daily hassles of running a radio station.
Behind another wall in the new, two
room studio, News Director Bill Hirshman
is rigging a mic-earphone system between
the two rooms, which are connected by a
window so that he can direct the news
from one room while Wendy Kramer and
Greg Parkinson do the show live from the
·other room. "Nice" Bill keeps saying,
"nit•e". In other rooms people are planning
PAGE 10

productions, shows, specials, all made
easier by the new facilities. But it wasn't
always like this.
KAOS: a saga
It was only a little over a year ago that a
group of students, including Dean Katz
(last year's station manager) and Lee
Chambers (present station manager)
decided that Evergreen needed an alternative radio station. The college, obviously
excited by the idea, provided them with
studio facilities which, until then, had
been cleverly disguised as a future hairdressing salon. A small room adjacent to
the men's room on the third floor was
pressed into service as a transmitter
room.
From these modest beginnings, the station has become the ten-watt giant of
West Olympia broadcasting as far as the
eye can see in all directions.

1 ne st.aL1on has been ana 1s committed
to providing interesting, informative, and
innovative programming. There is a thirty
minute news show daily, broadcast at 5:30
and 10:45 containing national and international news by Greg and Wendy, a stock
market report, a legislative report by Liz
Bjelland, Evergreen News, commentaries
by Andrew Daly and, occasionally,
in-studio guests.
KAOS hopes to provide about 65%
music, 35% non-music. The music emphasis is on classical, folk, and jazz. The
non-music is liable to be just about anything.
The 'new facilities will change KAOS.
Air time will be expanded, there will be
new shows (for example, a noon show
piped into the cafeteria). The programming should be technically better, more
professional. If it's not, they can't blame
the equipment.

Communications:

Flipping through the
channels
Ed. note - This is the first in a series of
articles which will deal with communications at TESC and the ways and means of
putting them to use. This first article is by
Dick Nichols who is the Director of
Information Services and Publications at
Evergreen. Future articles will be on: the
Information Center, KAOS, the Cooper
Point Journal, the Newsletter & Happenings and others.

by Dick Nichols

Communicating is always a problem in
any kind of organization or institution--big
or small--and Evergreen is no exception.
Difficulties may seem more pronounced
here because the college is administratively decentralized and because governance procedures are not vested in
traditional, easily identifiable groups
which meet and decide things at
regularly-scheduled, automatic dates,
times, and places.
Evergreen's rhetoric places great
value on openness and clarity in the
decision-making process. It follows, then,
that most people attracted here as
students or employees expect more than
promises and platitudes in terms of
governance and administrative visibility.
Further, since people here have strong
personal investments, and deep concerns
about, Evergreen's directions, they tend
to become very suspicious when they
think they're being deprived of information about in-process decisions.
Given this potential for mistrust within
a decentralized, ad hoc framework,
Evergreen--more than most places--requires a reliable communications system.

fallible humans--the college does have a
potentially effective information system.
If each part functions properly and in
harmony with the other parts and if
individuals within the campus community
use the communications tools available to
them, the system works. If any
components break down or if community
members don't make proper use of the
system, it doesn't work. That's not very
profound; just logical.
Though other articles in this series will
examine the components in detail, they
should at least be identified for purposes
of this discussion. It should be remembered that all carry informational responsibilities; none can do the job alone. The
system includes the Information Center,
KAOS Radio, Cooper Point Journal, the
Sounding Board, the College Forum,
(which meets at the call of the President), .
the Newsletter and Happenings Calendar,
the closed-circuit television system (not
yet consistently off the ground), campus
bulletin boards, memoranda, and special
periodic publications (flyers, bulletins,
notices, etc.)
We also have an "Unsystem"--better
known as the Grapevine or Rumor
Mill--which probably gets the most usage,
despite the fact it's not always reliable and
offers no consistent, broadbased access to
information. Undue dependence on the
"Unsystem" directly undermines effectiveness of the system. It is also quite true
that reliance on the "Unsystem" often
rises in direct proportion to perceived
ineffectiveness of the system.
Frankly, we don't do a very good job of
communicating at Evergreen, despite the
fact that we have information media ready
and willing to fall all over us. At whom or
what should we point the accusing finger?
The enemy, my friends, is us!

Though it is far from perfect--which is
not surprising since it's operated by

We're all used to receiving information.

The newspaper is delivered to us. We turn
a knob and someone else shows and/or
tells us about the latest news on radio or
television. The postman brings us our
magazines and letters. The simple fact is
that we've all been conditioned as passive
receivers who rarely stop to think what
would happen if no one else was sending
anything. We conceive of communications
as someone else's job; if they'll just tell
us--pander our passiveness--everything
.
will be just fine.
The trouble is that everything is not
just fine. We don't communicate well
because we forget that information
transfer involves (1) a message, (2) a
delivery system, and (3) receivers.
Evergreen has delivery systems and
about 2500 potential receivers; potential
because even receiving takes some effort
by individuals. We lack consistent,
conscientious senders who realize that if
they want their message received
they--not the other person--will have to
put it into the system.
There is simply no way the Information
Center staff, the Journal reporters, the
KAOS broadcasters, the Newsletter
editor or anyone else can run around
campus perosnally interviewing 2500
people to find out what's going on. Even
the New York Times--with its comprehensive global news coverage--can't interview
everyone in the world every day.
Somehow, somewhere, sometime, someone has to tell the others what's
happening. In other words, each individual has to become an active participant
in the communications process.
Unless each of us is willing to
understand this rather simple premise
and behave accordingly, you can bet that
the level of communication won't increase
one iota. You can grumble and point fingers until you're blue in the face but it
won't do any good until you accept your
own share of the responsibility for
information transfer. Verily it must be
said:
As ye send, so shall ye receive.

Implementing
Affirmative Action
by Dana Campbell

Monday, Jan. 14 saw the last of three
public meetings on the Evergreen Affirmative Action Plan proposal.

Speaking to a group of 12 Evergreeners
attending to give community input, Joe
White, Director of TESC's Equal Opportunity I Affirmative Action office, outlined
the basics of the proposed plan.
White said that the plan had been
designed to comply with the federal equal
opportunity guidelines and to show how
Evergreen will increase its hiring and enrollment of non-whites and women.

effect the Admissions policies and recruitment practices, and that some difficulty is
anticipated because Evergreen has no
clearly defined policies of procedures in
this area. Responsibility for developing
this falls on the Director 'or Admissions
and staff.
The faculty goals have been set at 25%
non -white instructors by 1979, and 50% '
women faculty by 1984. Problems are also
anticipated in this area because faculty applications do not currently meet the needs
of the goal. White feels that attention
must also be given to developing a faculty
recruitment procedure that will insure the
goals are being achieved.

Included in the proposal is a statement
by President McCann entitled "The TESC
Equal Opportunity Policy." In it, McCann
says, "The Equal Opportunity Policy of
the Evergreen State College requires that
its faculty, administration, staff, students,
and persons who develop programs at the
college; and all contractors, individuals
and organizations who do business with
the college; comply with the letter and
spirit of all federal, state, and local equal
opportunity statutes and regulations."

The proposed goal for Evergreen staff
and employees has been designated as
20% non-white and 30% women in each of
ten defined job categories. There was
some discussion of these figures because
most of those present felt that goals
should be set at 25% non-white and 50%
women at all levels college-wide. White
explained that these percentages had
been arbitrarily designated as optimum
numbers rather than statistically based,
but it seems that somewhere along the
line the ax fell on non-whites and women
in administration.

McCann's statement also outlined the
college's stand on discrimination; recruiting, hiring, and promotion policies for
TESC staff and employees; and student
recruiting, admissions, and services.

White's proposal also includes the
methods with which the plan would be
disseminated to the students, faculty, employees, and all other groups and organizations with which the college deals .

McCann also stated, "This program is
designed to overcome and prevent the
effects of systematic institutional discrimination and benign neutrality in bids on
goods, services, and construction contracts, and enrollment practices."

Written into the draft are the designations of responsibility for the implementation of the plan regarding the offices of the
college President, the Director of the
Equal Opportunity I Affirmative Action
Office, the college Vice-Presidents, Deans
and Directors.

During the meeting, White announced
the actual goals which had not yet been
written into the proposal. Evergreen
student enrollment goals have been set at
~5% non-white and 50% women, to be
<H'hieved by 1984. White said that this will

White also explained that problems will
probably arise because, in most cases
Evergreen facilities and curriculum do not
currently meet the needs of non-whites
and women. He cited the counseling office
as one area for improvement.
'!'he plan now goes before the Board of
Trustees for approval. If approved, it will
become effective immediately. Without a
doubt, it is going to have broad impact on
most facets of the Evergreen community.

JOEWIJITE

The proposal also included planned
methods for monitoring and auditing the
progress of the plan through each phase
toward goal achievement.

Ed. note - As of press time it was
learned that Jof1 White had resigned his
post as Affirmative Action Officer,
effective as of the end of January. White,
who was appointed to his office by the
Board of Trustees just prior to the
beginning of the FaU '73 quarter, was
unavailable for comment by press time.

History of the
the Symposium
by John Foster
The Northwest Symposium on Chile has
been primarily a student planned and
directed project. It has grown from a
proposal to bring to Evergreen a visiting
lecturer on Chile, into a multi-faceted,
week -long educational experience. In
early November of last year)a discussion
among members of the Revolt In/By
Economics Group Contract turned to the
issue of the recent coup d'etat in Chile.
The exchange that followed was so
interesting that Judy Klayman, Ed
Alkire, Geoff Rothwell, Doug Swaim, Ned
Swift, Bill Campbell and Doug Wold
stayed after the seminar to discuss the
subject further. These students collectively decided that Evergreen should
sponsor a Symposium on Chile and they
organized themselves into a "Committee
of Seven" to work for such a conference.
Soon afterwards, members of the group
went before President McCann, Vice
President Kormondy and the Public
Events desk, directed by Dean Teske,
with a rough draft proposal for the
two-day Symposium. Each of these
administrators responded enthusiastically
to the Symposium idea and offered
money, advice and moral support. From
that point on the plans for the Symposium
snowballed.
After these meetings with members of
the college administration, the Symposium was no longer a dream, but, on the
contrary, a distinct possibility. Bob
McChesney, Jack Slagle, John Foster,
Vincent Pepka, and Fred Brousseau, who
were also members of the Revolt In/By
Economics contract, and Leslie Layton
from the college newspaper staff then
joined the group. This enlarged group of
students organized itself into the Latin
American Studies Group. Each person
was given a distinct area of responsibility.
Judy Klayman had responsibility for
agenda, Ed Alkire for Facilities, Vince
Pepka for the budget, Doug Wold for
Pre-Symposium enrichment, Doug Swaim
for funding of the cultural events, Geoff
Rothwell for enrichment during the two
day Symposium, Bill Campbell for
publicity, John Foster and Bob McChesney for Library / History, and Fred
Brousseau and Leslie Layton for Sympol'AGE 14

sium media coverage. Ned Swift served as
Secretary. Chuck Nisbet, faculty member
of the Revolt In/By Economics group
contract, worked with the students from
the beginning. He served as faculty
coordinator for the Latin American
Studies Group. In addition to helping on
many facets of the Symposium, he
suggested and contacted the four main
conference speakers.
Students from this new organization
went to speak to Merv Cadwallader, Beryl
Crowe, Ron Woodbury, Paul Marsh, Hap
Freund, and Russ Fox, who as faculty
members; were in a position to increase
support for and participation in, the
conference. These facilitators each gave
the Symposium their full support. Russ
Fox and Paul Marsh were particularly
helpful. They have both devoted a great
deal of time and energy as advisors to the
Latin American Studies Group. The
coordinated studies programs, Power and
Personal Vulnerability,
Matter of
Survival, and Democracy and Tyranny,
plus the group contract, Power and
Decision in American Society provided
financial support. Among the Deans,
Byron Youtz and Rudy Martin as well as
Charles Teske were responsive and
extremely helpful. Dick Nichols of the
Information Services and Publications
Office also gave his support. Donna
McMaster and her assistant, Carmem
Lyon, provided invaluable assistance to
the Latin American Studies Group by
supplying the necessary secretarial help.
T. E. S. C. students expressed strong
support for the conference on a petition
circulated around the school. Consequently, the Speakers Bureau and the Services
and Activities Board offered to .provide
additional funds for the Symposium.
With the support of such a large
segment of the college community) the
Symposium rapidly became a major
project. The structure was expanded to
include panel discussions, workshops and
cultural events. Besides the original four
major speakers over a dozen experts were
added to the program as speakers or
workshop leaders. Four movies on Chile
and Latin American folk music were als~
added to the agenda. M.E.C.H.A., the
Chicano Coalition at the college, decided

to sponsor a number of cultural events on
Latin America for the week preceding the
conference. Posters and circulars advertising the Symposium were sent to
colleges and universities throughout the
Northwest and California as well as to
Latin America departments throughout
the United States.
The students involved in the organization of the Symposium have made
persistant attempts to inform students
and faculty at the college about the coup in
Chile and its significance. A vertical file
containing the latest magazine and
periodical articles on the subject,
including some by scholars who will
participate in the conference, has been set
up in the library along with a book
display. Three of the last four issues of the
Cooper Point Journal have contained
articles about Chile or about the
Symposium. Both the T.E.S.C. Bookstore
and the Word of Mouth Bookstore have
cooperated by obtaining books about
Chile. KAOS broadcasted an interview of
David Hathaway, one of the main
conference speakers, last quarter.
Shortly before Christmas vacation . the
members of the Latin American St~dies
Group gave a presentation about the
Symposium to the Board of Trustees of
the college. Doug Swaim and John Foster
spoke about the philosophy and structure
of the Northwest Symposium on Chile.
The presentation was a success and all of
the members of the group were
congratulated for their efforts towards
increased educational opportunities at
Evergreen.
The Northwest Symposium on Chile has
been formed as a student-led community
project. As an educational experience it
can only be judged by the extent to which
it fulfills its objective of presenting a
compreheqsive intellectual treatment of a
major international issue. The Northwest
Symposium on Chile should prove to be a
good demonstration of what a group of
students can accomplish, provided that
they organize and develop adequate
community support, towards creation of a
more worthwhile educational environment.

TESC ensemble
iazzes Portland
by Gary Plautz
The setting was somewhat bizarre. The
cavernous Portland Civic Auditorium less
than one quarter full on a Saturday
evening. Cocktail lounges on all four main
floors serving anything from scotch and
sodas to vodka screwdrivers. Wine and
champagne available at the concession
stands. Usherettes, ushers, and ·hostesses
present everywhere, dressed in gold
uniforms and (hostesses) in low -cut
dresses. Sheet ice on the streets outside.
"Well, ah, yes," began John Wendeborn, jazz critic for the Portland
Oregonian and guest celebrity for the 1974
Invitational Jazz Festival sponsored by
Hudson's Bay High School of Vancouver.
"Our next band is conducted by Donald
Chan. It's the, ah, Evergreen State
College band from Olympia, Washington.
This group is in its second year but,
apparently, this is the first time they've
appeared away from their school, I guess.
Well, anyway, are you ready Evergreen?"
The Evergreen State College Jazz
Ensemble ~as ready. The curtain parted
and there they were, all 22 members of
the ensemble ready to blow the first notes
of their opening piece and ready to begin,
as Don Chan put it, the highpoint of their
existence as a band, so far.
In many ways, the Evergreen Jazz
Ensemble has becotne quite an institution
here at school. Last year, they inspired
careless abandon among their Evergreen
audiences. People dancing in the aisles
and people commenting on how they
should become a back-up act at Paramount
Northwest were common. The reaction to
their music this year has been somewhat
similiar.
But the jazz festival in Portland, held on
Saturday, Jan. 12, was different. It was
held away from the loose and receptive
audience and confines found here on
campus. It was held on neutral grounds.
Eight bands representing seven schools
participated in the festival. Besides
Evergreen, the schools were Central
Washington State College, Clark College,
three Oregon community colleges, Lane,
Mount Hood and Clackamas, and the host,
Hudson's Bay High School. Each band was
limited to a half hour set but even with
that, the entire concert lasted over four
and a half hours.

Opening the festival was the Nine
Pound Ball, a nine-piece combo from
Central. The'y were impressive, mainly
because the four numbers they performed
were all written by members of the group.
Some of their pieces were just a little bit
loose but their playing was excellent
overall.
Following them was Hudson's Bay.
Incredible is the only word to describe
them. They demonstrated a power and
energy lacking in most of the college
bands present. They did one chart of
Chick Corea's "La Fiesta", featuring their
excellent piano player, that was much
better than the same chart performed
later by Clark College. All this by a high
school band.
The four two-year schools had their ·
moments of brilliance. For instance,
Clackamas performed an extended
trumpet concerto written by one of their
students that was quite good and Mount
Hood played a set that was a tour-de-force
for their trumpet-playing director. But
the music played by these bands seemed
somehow to lack the poise and/or energy
present in the other groups.
Central's big band, however, lacked
nothing. They were good, very good. The
festival was not a competition but there
was an informal judging of the bands after
the concert. Central's big band was voted
number one. Second place in this informal
judging went to Evergreen.
"I was very happy with the band's
performance," said Chan. "I think we did
about as well as we could under the
circumstances and the judging results
seem to prove this. This experience
taught the band a lot."
The ensemble performed five numbers
in their slightly over 30 minute set. They
began with "Timecheck" by Don Menza,
then went into "Backbone", Thad Jones,
"The Raven Speaks", Keith Jarrett, and
finished with a suite by Kim Richmond,
"Gems" and "Mayo". All these pieces have
been heard by Evergreen audiences
previously.
Chan felt the band did their best work
on "Mayo" and "The Raven Speaks". I
have to agree and also add "Timecheck" to
this list, at least in comparison to Clark,
which did the same number later in the
show.

Because the crowd was so sparse and
spread around the auditorium, it was hard
to get an indication of the crowd's
response to Evergreen's music. But there
were a few of the characteristic hoots and
hollers when the band engaged in
powerful, full ensemble blowing as in
"Raven." And when the band left the
stage, they received as good, if not better,
response as any of the other bands.
As far as Evergreen soloists go, Scott
Handley on tenor sax and Peter Brook on
drums came off best both musically and in
acknowledgment from the audience.
Handley soloed a number of times and
Brook soloed once, on "Mayo". In the past
Evergreen performances, Brook has
always seemed to elicit quite a response
from the crowd with his powerful and
extended solos. In Portland, he was
limited, because of time restrictions, to a
brief (for him) five minute spot but even
without more time to expand, he came
away from the festival with probably the
best drum solo.
Another point to remember in evaluating Evergreen's performance is the
incredible amount of hassles the band was
forced to endure. The trip down from
Olympia went extremely slow because of
the poor conditions of the roads. The
band's equipment truck had to be pushed
at one point to get out of the ice. Also, just
as the band was beginning their final
rehearsal, they were informed they were
soon due on stage, thus making any
pre-performance warmup impossible.
There is something else to remember,
too. Most of the members of the other
bands at the festival are studying music at
their respective schools, becoming music
majors. But a good number of players in
the Evergreen band are focusing their
education in other fields and are not at
school to study music. With this rather
loose foundation, it is really a tribute to
the ensemble that they did so well in
Portland.
Later this year, the band will perform
at Expo '74 in Spokane and will compete in
the Bremerton Big Band Jazz Conte at
Olympic College. More high points ahead.

In ortlcr th<lt both creative and rouline work can be focused on education, and so the
mutual and reciprocal roles of campus commu:tity members can Llc.st reflect the geals

those goals and purposes is required.
To accomplis I! tl1ese ends, governance and
must have tile following qualities:

1.

The procedures must reflect the Evergreen <opproa.:hes as stated in

the college bulletin to facilit:lting learniag, and recognize tile
responsibility of tile President and the Beard of Trustees for

2.

Decisions, and methods to be used for thelr implen:cntation sllould

State College's ability to pursue its

g'>als as a learning corr.mun!ly is ccnsidered the primary objective, and
that ln carrying out this objective all steps be taken to deal humanely
with all individuals involved in a reduction-in-force process.

The

Guidelines and Procedures subsequently genPrated by the DTF are designed
to permit a reduction-in-force within our College, should that action
become necessary, without undermining its academic goals and ideals,
as set forth in the College Bulletin, in the Faculty Handbook, and
in our Governance Documents.

These Guidelines and Procedures follow.

Guidelines.
A.

During a reduction-in-force, every effort will br; made
to provide the maY.iM'tm notice to those persons affected
either through termination or thro11=<h shifting of responsit>ilites in the event of reorganization. :lequirements for notice are anplical·le by !?.'·; cr bj· C'lllere

ive-Ex"!mpt employees, while having no f.l>..cd period of
notice, should be given the maximum feasible notice.

B,

During the reduction process, the actions considered
and taken will occur in an at.r:osphere of open, clear
ccr.ununicatlon.

C,

Any reduction-in-force should be undertaken with the
clenr gco.l in mind of ~:~aintuinlllg as n miniruu1~ the

Any reduction actions tal:en will not be constn•e il as

available to community members of The Everc;reen State
Coller;e throur;h Civtl Service rules, the Colle r,e Governance Document, and the Faculty Handbook, The Advisory
Group should make it clear that such procedures are
available, should affected indi vid·uals need them,

-3-

f,

Every effort will be made by the College to aid those
e~ployees

terminated during a reduction-in-force to find

satisfactory employment elsewhere.

This includes maintaining

a RIF Termination List for a minimum of two years following a
reduction-in-force; and, should a subsequent growth by the
College occur during that time, thus allowing vacated positions
to be re-established, priority in hiring for those positions
shall be given to qualified persons on that

~·

Such persons

shall be given thirty days to accept an offer of re-employment.
tV.

Procedures
A,

In the event of a fiscal crisis creRted by "reduced enrollment
or disccntinuance of funded programs," causing a cut in
appropriations in such amount that reduction-in-force becomes
necessary,

~he

Board of Trustees shall bt asked by the President

to declare a state of "Financial Exigency."
Following this declaration, an Advisory Group shall be
formed by the President to recommend a plan for reorganization
and reduction.

The Group will be composed of the Vice

Presidents; one representative each from the Academic Deans,
the Affil"l!!ative Action Office, the Library, Student Services,
Business Office, Plant Panagcment and Operntions, Personnel
Office, Auxiliary Services; at least three representatives
each from the Faculty and from the Student Body; and any other
representatives the Pre•ident deems necessary.
Within

legi~lative

intent, the Advisory Group shall

draft a funding plan by budgetary program and recommend an
organizational structure capable of carrying on the College's
objectives within the frar;e;,•ork of the funds available.
After the draft plan is approved by the President, he will
charge the appointing authority of each respective budgetary
unit with the responsibility for developing an operational
plan for the unit within the funds available.

The operational

plan should identify specific functions and positions to be
eliminated.

Appointing authorities will submit their plans

-4-

to their respective Vice Presidents for review.

Upon

approval, the Vice Presidents will submit the plan to the
Advisory Group for final consideration prior to its making
specific recommendations to the President.
The President, in consultation with the Advisory Group,
will develop the final plan for the Board of Trustees'
consideration.
The Advisory Group, during the entire process
delineated here, will be charged with the responsibility
for ll'aintaining liaison with the rest of the College
Community.
B.

Relative to reduction in faculty force, every attempt
should be made during the rell'aining growt-h period of the
College to provide a number of alternatives or buffers
against the future necessity for terminating regular
faculty appointments on short notice.

The Evergreen

State College is in a somewhat unique position among its
sister institutions in still being able to look forward to n
period of growth; we must therefore not miss the opportunity
to build into its growth pattern a thoughtful plan for possible
future reduction in the size of its faculty, should this
become necessary.
Evergreen is in a unique position in another respect,
also, in that it does not hnve a traditional faculty tenure
system.
to

eschet.~

The original Planning Faculty decided in 1970
the tenure system

becaus~

experience at other

institutlcns had shown that it was difficult to maintain
a primary commitment to the continuous improvement of
teaching skills under such a system.

Our facul.ty serve,

therefore, under a system of continuous evaluation,
including an annual review of teaching effectiveness and
growth in the teaching arts as a condition for renewal-ofappointment every three years.

In order to maintain

the esprit of the faculty required for this system's
effectiveness, it is incumbent upon the College to maintain a variety of options for solving a_reduction in
faculty force, should such reduction become necessary.

-5 ~lrt~e-~Rre,

the uniqueness of the

Coll~RP's

position

is underscored bv t~e fact that its Academic Programs
are not ri F;irllv set in the trad ition'll departmental structure, b•.tt nre suh.iect to e1nnual f f'rr.at ion vnd revision by
the f;,.c•Jl ty, and to ar.n'.tal review by the Academic Deans.
Thus, the n;,.intenance of a f~culty ch~rncte ri~ed by high
