"Knowledge will never be able to replace
respect in man's dealings with ecological
systems."
Roy Rappaport

There is probably no college on the west coast that has been
developed so carefully and completely with the student in mind.
As a four year liberal arts college, Evergreen captures the spirit
of academic pursuit in a very special way
When Evergreen was conceived, we wanted to provide an
interdisciplinary form of education which would expose the
student to the entire spectrum of academia. We believed the
other, more traditional approach, with its often un-related series
of courses, was not appropriate for Evergreen. So, we developed our course work in a collaborative mode, with intensive
student/faculty relationships, through multidisciplinary programs, tied together through a seminar / discussion approach to
the exchange of ideas. We enhanced the learning experience
and gave it a "real world" setting, in which the student could
take what ,he or she learned to practical experiences
off campus. We also included some of the most sophisticated
and modern academic equipment available for use with lab and
classroom work.
Yet while all these intentions are necessary, and worthwhile,
they would not make Evergreen the college it is without its
faculty and staff. Our professors are among the most knowledgeable in their disciplines and have chosen Evergreen to
share their expertise because they believe individual excellence should be the result of the college effort. They perceive
the development of human potential as the raison d'etre of
Evergreen's academic program.
And so do our students, we find, who bring a rich mix of heritages, interests, aspirations and geographic backgrounds to our
truly diverse college community. The 2,500 Evergreener's who
attend each quarter are almost evenly divided between men
and women. They are mostly registered for full-time studies
and are predominantly from Southwest Washington. All of them
are enthusiastic
participants
in both on and off-campus
activities, ranging from spontaneous social gatherings through
the entire social, political and artistic fabric of the surrounding
communities. And our campus now stretches to Vancouver in
the south and Port Angeles, to our north, with rapidly developing
outreach programs. In fact, through our study abroad programs,
the limits of the Evergreen campus are only bound by the
stretch of intellectual inquiry.
Evergreen, then, is all of these things. It is a place where people
come together to prepare for living. It is thinking. It is sharing. It is
growing.
Evergreen is in effect, you.

Financial Aid
Students who expect difficulty in meeting the costs of college
should apply for assistance through the Office of Financial Aid.
Evergreen's goal is to provide every needful student with sufficient financial assistance
to make attendance possible.
Awards from the college's aid programs rest strictly on personal need and can only supplement the contribution of the
student and his/her family. Most of the aid offered by the college is open only to full-time students and may take the form of
grants, loans, employment, scholarships or a .combination of
these possibilities
Complete information about the financial aid programs and
procedures for applying is available upon request from the Office of Financial Aid.
Applications for aid should be received by May 15. Students
applying after that date will be aided if funds are available.
The Financial Aid office also offers financial counseling to all
students and maintains a listing of part-time employment opportunities both on and off-campus.
Emergency Loan Program
Emergency Loan funds are donated by businesses, service
and professional organizations and individuals in the community, and Services and Activities Fees. This program is designed to aid all students who face temporary need by providing loans up to $200 on a short-term basis. Borrowers may
apply through a personal interview in the Financial Aid office.
Veterans Affairs
The Office of Veterans Affairs assists veterans and other eligible persons with all VA related applications and information tc
assure maximum use of benefits provided under law. The office also serves as a clearinghouse for information pertaining
to veterans and actively recruits veterans within the college's
service area.
The OVA provides counseling and referral assistance to veteran students and serves an advocacy role in supporting veterans' issues and concerns.
The on-campus VA representative processes veteran certifications and solves problems regarding veterans' educational
assistance payments.
New and Continuing Student
Enrollment Process
Continuing students should consult the registration brochure
mailed with their registration forms With individualized enrollment as our goal, two new services have been introduced to
refine the entry process the Check-In Center for New Students,
and the Student-Faculty Advising Program.
Upon being admitted, you will select a check-in date and come
to campus for an individual meeting with a check-in advisor to:
discuss personal interests and concerns; evaluate your basic
study skills; receive your registration forms; be assigned a
faculty advisor.
As a new, full-time student, you will be assigned a faculty advisor automatically, who will work with you from entry to graduation.
If you are accepted before mid-May, you should select a Spring
Quarter advising and registration date. Some programs require
a faculty interview or audition for entry and all are filled on a first
come basis. Registering early increases your chances of
getting into the program of your choice.

Programs.
program
•
Continuing Evergreen students should select their academic
programs for the following year during advanced registration,
conducted in mid-May on dates specified in the college calendar. Newly-admitted students will be provided information
about registration at the time of their admission to the college.
8
Throughout the year mailings with important information need
to reach you, therefore, students are required to keep current
addresses-even
those of short duration-on
file with the
Registrar's office throughout their tenure at the college.
Fees must be paid by the deadlines published by the Registrar.
Only those "advance registered" are billed by mail. All others
should pay at the time of enrollment, but no later than the
deadline.
Special registration periods are held for those desiring to enroll
as non-degree seeking "special students" or auditors. Ordinarily, these special registration periods coincide with the
opening dates announced in both on- and off-campus communications media.
To Drop or Change a Program
Students who want to drop or change a program should pick
up a Change of Registration Form from the Registrar's office.
At that time, students should also check to see if faculty signatures are required fQr the particular programs involved.
As a full-time Evergreen student, you will be enrolled in only
one full-time learning activity. If you enroll full-time, additional
credit cannot be earned concurrently at another college for
transfer back, nor will you be able to earn more than the maximum full-time amount at Evergreen.
Credit is expressed in quarter credit hours. Maximum full-time
enrollment is 16 quarter credit hours (18 for those in the
Teacher Certification Program). It is possible to accelerate
your progress toward graduation by enrolling for Summer sessions.
You will be able to desinate the length of your program or contract when you enroll by specifying both the beginning and
ending dates. You also will be able to specify the number of
quarter credit hours per quarter during the period you indicate.
There will be no need to re-enroll each quarter during the
period you designate if you continue in the same program or
contract. Changes to the beginning or ending dates or to the
amount of credit need to be made as far in advance as possible. Early notification will assure proper assessment of tuition
and fees.
Academic Credit
Students accumulate academic credit for work well done and
levels of performance reached and surpassed. Only if a student fulfills academic obligations will full credit be entered on
the permanent academic record. Otherwise, there will be
either no entry or the recording of credit to represent what was
actually accomplished.
Graduation
Requirements
The minimum requirement for awarding either the Bachelor of
Arts (BA) or the Bachelor of Science (BS) is 180 quarter credit
hours. The BS degree requirement also includes 72 quarter
credit hours in mathematics and natural science, of which 48
quarter credit hours must be in advanced subjects. Any work
in excess of 200 quarter credit hours must be approved by an
academic dean.
Transfer students must earn at least 45 of the 180 quarter
credit hours as an enrolled student at Evergreen to be eligible
for an Evergreen degree.
Those with a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution (including Evergreen) wishing to earn a second
baccalaureate degree, must earn at least 45 additional quarter
credit hours as an enrolled Evergreen student.
Transfer Credit Policy
General Policies
9
Evergreen has a generous policy on the acceptance of credit
from other colleges and universities. The maximum credit that
can be transferred is 135 quarter credits or 90 semester hours.
The maximum amount of credit that can be transferred from
two-year colleges is 90 quarter credit hours.
The procedure for transferring credit is to supply transcripts of
all previous work at the time of application for admission. The
Office of Admissions will evaluate the credit and supply you
with a report.
Policy varies slightly depending on the kind of institution from
which you are transferring and the kinds of course work
involved. In general, courses in which a "0" or "F" grade was
received are not acceptable in transfer, nor are P.E. activity
courses, remedial courses or nigh school equivalency
courses. Some vocational courses are transferrable, others
are not. Contact the Office of Admissions for details.
Credits earned at nonaccredited institutions, technical institutes, military, art and music institutes, foreign colleges and
universities and proprietary schools (such as business colleges and correspondence schools) are evaluated on a caseby-case basis by the Registrar. The principle used is that the
work performed should be equivalent to work for which a fouryear college or university would normally give credit toward
the BA degree.
Miscellaneous Policies
Leaves of Absence
Evergreen accepts credits earned through the College Level
Examination Program (CLEP) as long as scores are at the fiftieth percentile or above.
Students who have been regularly admitted and need to "drop
out" for awhile are eligible to apply for a leave of absence of no
longer than one year. Application for leave is initiated in the
Office of the Registrar. Students who have not enrolled in a
program/ contract by the enrollment deadline are considered
to be on leave.
Evergreen will not accept credit twice for the same course
work.
Evergreen grants credit for prior learning experience
through its External Credit program.
Academic Standing
Full-time and Part-time
only
Status
Evergreen counts those enrolled for 12 or more quarter credit
hours as full-time students. Those who enroll for less than 12
quarter credit hours per quarter are considered part-time
students.
Full-time students can be enrolled in only one credit-generating program of study at a time. Part-time students may enroll
for up to 11 quarter credit hours.
Acceleration
Normal academic proqress for a tull-tirne student entails enrolling for no more than 16 quarter credit hours per quarter, or
48 quarter credit hours per regular academic year. Students
may accelerate only by enrolling for a fourth quarter of study
each calendar year, (i.e. Summer Quarter).
Any increase in the numbers of quarter credit hours for which
a student is registered must be submitted to the Registrar no
later than the fifth class day of any quarter.
"Mathematicians are like Frenchmen:
whatever you say to them, they translate into
their own language, and forthwith it is
something entirely different."
Goethe
10
Academic Standing
Since the College follows a narrative evaluation system, a student's transcript contains only information on credit which has
been successfully completed, Some recognition, of a nonpunitive nature, needs to be made of the student who is not
making satisfactory progress, The following stages of academic standing have been designed to allow the student having academic difficulties the maximum amount of advice and
counsel in resolving these problems, At the same time, it acknowledges that if a student is unable or unwilling to do his or
her best work at Evergreen, then that place should be given to
someone else,
During any quarter a student who is in danger of earning less
than the registered amount of credit will be notified in writing
of that danger by the faculty sponsor or program coordinator.
1. Academic Warning-A
student who earns fewer than twothirds the number of credits for which he or she is registered
in three successive quarters will receive an academic warning from the Registrar, a copy of which will also go to the
student's current or pre-registered coordinator or sponsor.
Similarly, a student enrolled for more than half-time who
receives no credit at all during two successive evaluation
periods will receive academic warning, Such warning will urge
the student to seek academic advice or personal counselling
from a member of the faculty or from the appropriate offices in
Student Enrollment Services, A student will be removed from
Academic Warning status after three quarters of successful
work in which more than two-thirds of the credits were earned,
2. Required Leave of Absence-A
student who has received
an academic warning and who, at the next evaluation period,
receives either an Incomplete or fewer than two-thirds of the
possible credits registered will be required to take a leave of
absence, normally for one full year. A waiver of this action can
be granted only by the Academic Deans upon presentation of
evidence of extenuating circumstances by the student. To
re-enter at the end of such leave, the student must supply to
the Deans evidence of readiness to assume responsibilities,
A student returning from a required leave of absence will reenter on Academic Warning and will be expected to make
normal progress toward a bachelor's degree without incurring
further Required Leave, Failure to earn more than two-thirds
credit at the next evaluation period will result in academic
dismissal from the College,
Evaluation
Each Evergreen student works individually with the faculty
member who leads his or her seminar in order to evaluate student progress and quality of work. From time to time students
have advisory conferences with their seminar faculty to discuss personal progress, The program ends with a detailed nar-
rative evaluation, (a two-to-four page description of the exac
nature of the student's work and learning), This writter
evaluation takes the place of a letter grade, It provides muct
more information about you as an individual, about you
special strengths, about the areas where you need furthe
work, and about what you seem ready to go on to, While thi~
evaluation becomes part of your college record and will intorrr
future employers about your work here, its main benefit is ir
helping you choose what to emphasize in your later work at the
College or elsewhere, Evaluations are discussed in an individual conference with seminar leaders so you will have a
chance to define the real high points of your program work,
Reco
e
i g
The Transcript and Portfolio are the two primary records
students work at Everqreen.
0
The Transcript, maintained by the Registrar's office, is c
Record of Academic Achievement which includes all work
done for credit, the official description of the program or contract, faculty evaluations, and students own evaluations 01
achievements, The entire body of information is mailed when a
transcript is requested,
"Translations" of work performed at Evergreen are necessary,
Seminar leaders and/or sponsors develop "course equivalencies" which describe the students work in terms comparable
to other college's or university's systems,
Credit and evaluations are reported only at the end of a program/contract,
unless the student is on leave of absence,
withdraws or changes programs,
Students maintain their own Portfolio, which includes the official description of the program/ contract for all work attempted,
descriptions and copies of faculty evaluations, your own
evaluations, including those not on the Transcript, and work
considered to be your best effort along with other pertinent information,
The Portfolio is your academic biography, to be shared with faculty during your learning experience and with graduate
school and prospective employers during interviews,
Confidentiality of Records
The federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974
establishes fair information practices regarding
student
records at American Colleges and Universities, (see page 89
for text).
Fees and Charges
11
Resident and
Non-Resident Status
The term "resident student" means one who has had a
domicile for other than educational purposes in the State of
Washington for the period of one year immediately prior to the
first day of a quarter; a dependent son, daughter or spouse of a
federal employee residing within the state; or a dependent son,
daughter or spouse of a staff member of the college. All others
are considered non-resident students. Applications to change
residency status are available at the Registrar's office.
Enrollment Deposit
An enrollment deposit of $50 is required from students admitted after notification of acceptance is received from the Office of Admissions. No enrollment deposit is required of Special Students and Auditors. Payment will reserve enrollment, on
a first-come, first-served basis. The deposit will be forfeited if
the student does not register for the quarter admitted. The enrollment deposit is applied toward payment of the first quarter's
tuition.
Exit Interview
Withdrawals are never blocked but must be accomplished
through the Exit Interview.
12
lUition and Fees
Fee calculations are based on three student status indicators:
state residency; quarter credit hours and Vietnam veteran.
These indicators are established, and may be adjusted, only
by the Registrar.
Student Health Insurance
Insurance is available through private insurance carriers with
major medical or full health coverages. Dependents may be
covered according to eligibility requirements.
Parking
Parking decals for $5 per month, $10 per quarter or $25 per
year, must be displayed on vehicles, except for college housing residents who park in residence lots. (see page 83 for
rules).
Student Identification Cards
Identification cards will be made available to all students without charge at the time of first enrollment. A replacement fee of
$5 is charged.
Financial Aid Disbursements
Financial Aid is distributed quarterly to coincide with tuition
and fees payments by the Office of Financial Aid. All charges
are deducted from the quarterly award with the balance paid to
the student during the first week of instruction. The exceptions
are Emergency loans, which are paid as needed, and the
on-campus work-study program distributed through the payroll
system.
Billing and Payment Procedures
The accounts receivable system assembles all financial information, both charges and credits, for each student and prepares a monthly statement of account. This makes it possible
for each student to submit a single check for tuition and fees,
housing, food services and other charges by mail or night depository. The Cashier's office is open from 830 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday.
Tuition and fees are billed on a quarterly basis, and may be
paid in full before the fifth class day of any given quarter without penalty. After that day, the student will be subject to a $15
Late Payment Fee. No payment by the thirty-first calendar day
will result in disenrollment and assessment of one-half of the
original tuition and fee charge.
All checks must be made payable to The Evergreen State
College and delivered to the college cashier.
"To know what is proper in order and natural in
sequence is to approach the truth."

Student preference is considered when assiqninq student faculty advisors who remain with students as long as they are at
Evergreen. Together, they develop an overall academic plan
leading to graduation. Working in collaboration with Cooperative Education and Career Planning and Placement, internship
possibilities and career and graduate school options are explored
The Academic Advising Resource Guide is given to students
as a personal resource guide, with the Office providing information of availability of faculty sponsors for individual contracts, enrollments
in programs
and opportunities
for
student generated curricular proposals. Faculty members and
students frequently develop advisory/guidance
relationships
which help formulate academic plans.

The Structure of Study At
Evergreen
The hallmark of The Evergreen State College is a commitment to collaborative teaching and research, a uniquely powerful approach to
learning. Most faculty at Evergreen hold advanced degrees in traditional academic specialties, and value that training, but have come
to recognize that there are serious limitations to parcenzed specialization as an approach to the problems that face our society and
our world. They have come to Evergreen not to abandon these specialties but to engage in full-time teaching and research with other
specialists whom, in traditional settings, they would encounter only
in extra-curricular contexts. Two factors make a collaboration of
specialties into a whole greater than the sum of its parts; it expands
the power of specialties beyond traditional boundaries; and, thus
extended, specialties can interact in special and surprising ways.
Moving beyond the safe boundaries of ore's official expertise can
only be done by those with a genuine dedication to teaching and
learning, those who are willing to take intellectual and emotional
risks not often encountered in the traditional classroom. Such risks
are also taken by students at Evergreen who are asked to study real
problems rather than Justtraditional fields. Thus it becomes especially important to support student efforts to develop personal identity and professional direction, and the Evergreen community recognizes that need and provides that support
There is another dimension to effective collaboration that is not a
matter of crossing traditional academic specialties, but which involves moving beyond the cultural milieu within which those specialties usually fall. Effective collaboration therefore requires stepping outside the mainstream into those cultural tributaries that help
make the mainstream what it is. Few problems can be rigorously
formulated and few solutions fully tested without confronting the fact
that the world is neither as small nor as compartmentalized as it is
often represented
A by-product of collaborative teaching and research IS clearer appreciation of where individual and independent work is truly required
for in-depth study of an Issue or problem. Evergreen's primary
commitment is to help students understand the complex problems
facing our society and world and to seek solutions through whatever
approach is most effective.
Of course, the real problems that confront us cannot be studied in a
learning community that removes itself from its surrounding environment The Evergreen community therefore consistently addresses projects and problems of particular Interest to the residents of
Southwest Washington and to governmental agencies at all levels.
Furthermore, this community is committed to having the boundary
between life on campus and life off-campus as permeable as practically possible Evergreen is neither a haven from, nor merely a
preparation for, life in the "real world." Education at Evergreen is an
experience in the real world, experience that occurs both on campus and off.
StAtement of Methods
The College reflects these values and commitments in a curriculum
and a range of teaching methods that are unique to higher education and that have been proven effective in educating our students.
Much of the learning is centered on a problem or project of real,
and not just academic, Significance. Students thus experience the
complexity of the real world, have the opportunity for creative problem solving and have real motivation for developing intellectual tools
and skills. Students enroll in only one study at a time. Their attention
is focused on learning that study well; their studies are integrated
and can be scheduled to suit the tasks at hand. Classes are small
and the interaction with faculty and fellow students is close and intense. Students thus learn to communicate their ideas, clarify, defend and improve them and to work within a collaborating group in
which they carry their share of the responsibility. Evaluation of student work is frequent and personalized Because of the close interaction, faculty use written individual evaluations instead of
grades. Students thus receive detailed assessment of accomplishments and progress

These methods require that Teaching is the most important mission
of the College. Thus development of student skills and learning abilities receives close attention. And they imply that much of our teaching and learning be collaborative. Thus, the College is committed to
the importance of Interdisciplinary Study Only then can a student's
work be integrated and not be just a collection of isolated fragments.
Thus can students learn to work cooperatively as well as individually
within a context of rich diversity.
The environment which supports this curriculum has two outstanding features Modern facilities and high quality equipment are
available for student use, and not protected for faculty use only.And
the College atmosphere is supportive and cooperative, and not
competitive. Collaboration requires cooperation, and with narrative
evaluation, competitive learning is unnecessary. Furthermore, student support services Include academic, career, and personal
counseling and a center for the assessment and development of
basic academic skills.

What goals does such a community that uses such methods presuppose for its students? We ask of students who wish to join the
Evergreen community that they make a serious commitment to both
narrow and broad educational goals. They must develop the fundamental skills of clear thinking, and precise communications,
through practice in writing and speaking and an ability to handle
quantitative methods. They must develop the intellectural skills of
analysis, criticism, and synthesis. They must develop the aesthetic
skills of how to respond to and act with style and grace, and how to
perceive the universal value of artifacts and documents foreign to
their immediate cultural experience. They must learn the creative
skills of how to move from an idea to a reality by way of an effective
process of design.

"Threethings are necessary for the salvation
of man: to know what he ought to believe; to
know what he ought to desire; and to know
whathe ought to do."
St.Thomas Aquinas
The curriculum demands of students both that they increase their
independent initiative, self-confidence
and responsibility
through
learning to think and act for themselves and that they learn how to
negotiate with and work cooperatively
with others. Evergreen requires students to discover the value of cultural diversity by dealing
with a wide range of situations, people and problems.
Students who make the best of their Evergreen experience will develop integrity and learn to accept responsibility
for the consequences of choices already made, and they will learn how to make
better choices. They will leave Evergreen with a strong sense of what
will provide them a satisfying life.
What You Can Study
Evergreen's academic programs cover many different subjects but
they are grouped in eleven areas. Nine of these areas constitute interdisciplinary specialty areas. These represent areas of particular
strength for advanced work. Each area is interdisciplinary,
drawing
on several different disciplines. And all of these areas offer work at
the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. The nine interdisciplinary specialty areas are
Environmental Studies
European and American Studies
Expressive Arts
Health and Human Development
Management and the Public Interest
Marine Sciences and Crafts
Northwest Native American Studies
Political Economy
Scientific Knowledge and Inquiry
Annual Programs and Basic Programs constitute
portant areas of the Evergreen curriculum
the other two im-
Basic programs are designed
for entering students
Basic programs are always broadly interdisciplinary
although they represent
different combinations of the various disciplines. Some, like Political
Ecology, draw broadly from the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities. Basic programs are staffed by Evergreen's most experienced
teachers who are particularly skilled at
working with entering students. Basic programs are specifically designed so that students may further develop skills in reading, Writing
and seminaring, while at the same time acquiring subject area skills.
Annual programs represent the College's spontaneous, developing
and experimental side. Annual programs change from year-to-year
to respond to changing needs on the part of the College's students
and faculty. Some of the most creative programs within the specialty
area curriculum originated as Annual programs.
Modes of Study at Evergreen
Evergreen offers you several ways of approaching
study in the arts,
humanities, natural and social sciences. The first of these is Coordinated Studies programs, each composed of 60-100 students, and
three to five faculty members (with different expertise), all of whom
focus their efforts on a central theme. Recent examples include,
"Origins of Life and Intelligence"; "The Character
A Psychological,
Historical and Theatrical InqUiry"; "Environmental
Design Patterns
of Living"; and, "The Arts in Social Perspective."
You may also choose from a wide range of Group Contracts, offered
In specialized fields and Involving 20-40 students and one or two
faculty members
in each contract
offered.
Like Coordinated
Studies, Group Contracts are also interdisciplinary.
These are usually intended for Advanced academic work. Evergreen has offered
Group Contracts
titled "Recording
and Structuring
Light and
Sound"; "From Cell to Organism"; "The Politics of American Labor in
World Perspective";
"Applied Environmental
Studies Alternative
Energy Systems"; and, "The Etruscans."
For students who are prepared to pursue an individualized,
selfcesiqned program, Evergreen offers the Individual Learning Contract, which is negotiated by a student and a faculty member and
defines specific material and activities to be completed by the student during an academic
term An Individual Learning Contract
may, for example, call for combinations of reasearch and writing, or
require the student to conduct certain activities In a professional setling. Weekly conferences
between student and faculty sponsor
allow progress and problems that arise to be discussed at regular
Intervals.
As a special option to students in Coordinated Studies, Group Contracts, and Individual Learning Contracts, and to make part-time
study possible for Citizens In the local community, Evergreen also
offers a number of Courses In specific subject areas. These courses
carry 4 or fewer quarter hours of credit. Full-time students must have
the permission of their faculty sponsors to take a course in collaboration with Coordinated Study, Group or Individual Contract studies.
Coordinated Studies and Group
Contracts
What are coordinated studies and group contracts and how do they
differ from more conventional courses taught elsewhere? What will it
be like to be a member of a group engaged in an integrated program of study?
A Typical Work Week at Evergreen does not differ markedly from
any other Institution in ItS baSIC components.
Evergreen also uses
lectures, seminars, essays, research projects, field projects and
similar educational formats. During a typical week in a coordinated
study program you Will probably attend a general lecture which is
held for all 80 members of the program. But you might also spend
six hours in small group seminars of ten to twenty persons each. It is
17
18
quite likely that you will spend a certain number of hours in the field
or in laboratory sessions if you are in a science program. In many
programs, there are also weekly individual sessions between the
students and faculty. In all Evergreen programs there is a large
amount of contact in small groups.
One striking difference from other colleges is that at Evergreen all
these activities occur within the one and only program in which you
are enrolled. There is a comprehensive design so that all activities
are coordinated. This enables you to concentrate on your work without the distraction of competing, unrelated assignments. Studying
the topic full-time means that students finish by understanding it
from many perspectives, and by having the skills to approach other
problems in this same way
Each Coordinated Studies program has certain activities in which all
members of the program take part The most important of the
shared activities is the seminar. Students may prepare for seminars
by studying a book from the program's required reading list, by
doing some writing, or a small library research project. Then they
assemble in small groups of 10-20 students, under the guidance of a
faculty member, to help each other understand the book or to work
out its meaning and implications. For seminars to succeed each
member must participate activitely, analyzing the assigned materials, helping others form their thoughts, thinking aloud.
Students in Coordinated Studies also work extensively on their own
individual skills and understanding, by writing short essays,
critiques, and through notebooks, and journals. Evergreen asks
students not merely to acquire information but also to learn how to
communicate it in writing.

Individual Contracts
Individual Contracts can provide uniquely flexible opportunities for
learning. At the same time, they are difficult and challenging. A fulltime Individual Contract should receive as much of your energy and
attention as a Coordinated Studies program, a Group Contract, or
full-time studies at another college. Contracts are best for imaginative, resourceful students who have well-defined goals and can pursue them with a minimum of supervision.
An Individual Contract is an individual study plan worked out between a student and faculty sponsor. A student agrees verbally and
in writing to complete some specified activities-readings,
field
work, internship activities, artistic productions, writing papers-while
the sponsor agrees to provide regular consultation and advice. To
qualify for the opportunity of working on an Individual Contract you
should be prepared to demonstrate to a prospective faculty sponsor
that you have a strong project in mind and that you are capable of
working, for the most part, on your own initiative.
In order to have a more structured contract, you may choose to devise a Resident Learning Contract, in which you would include at
least one regularly scheduled class meeting each week, in addition
to the weekly one-to-one conference between student and sponsor.
It is important for Veterans who may be negotiating contracts to
know that Resident Learning Contracts will be eligible for full Veteran's Benefits; other Individual Contracts will qualify for tuition and
fees only
A good place to begin investigating possibilities for a contract is the
Office of Academic Advising which maintains lists of faculty who
have contract openings available and of the fields of specialization
in which those faculty members may be able to sponsor you. This
office can also provide valuable advice in organizing and carrying
out your studies under this very flexible, but difficult, form of learning.
In filing a contract, one point remains firm: the two important signatures on the contract are yours and your sponsor's. Neither should
give a signature easily If you cannot, or are not willing to try to, live up
to the contract, then do not sign it. If the faculty member advisi ng you
has doubts about your ability or motivation, he or she should not sign
the contract. If your contract requires special facilities or equipment,
additional signatures may be required.
Oespite the difficulties, the successful contract can be a milestone
in a student's college career by promoting learning very closely
tailored to personal goals.
"Oh, this learning, what a thing it is!"

Curriculum Planning Process
Operation of Programs
Evergreen's flexible academic programs enable the curriculum to
be molded and changed over a period of years in order to meet new
student needs and to utilize new information arising from scholarly
research. Yet,there is also a considerable amount of continuity from
year to year, allowing students to anticipate what will be available
and to plan their selection of programs and contracts accordingly.
Once underway, a Coordinated Studies or Group Contract program
is not subject to major replanning. Occasionally, portions of programs are open to student participation in detailed planning, but
most programs are fully designed in advance. Faculty are held responsible by the Academic Deans to stay as close to the plan originally submitted as is possible. This guarantees that students get the
program originally announced in that year's catalog, not a variation
of It invented at a later date. Faculty are expected to be responsive to
student needs as a program unfolds, but changing the structure or
content of the program is to be undertaken only when it ISclear that
nothing else will suffice.
Although the Evergreen faculty takes the major role in and the
responsibility for curriculum planning, we strongly encourage
dents to participate as well. A number of our most successful
grams have resulted from the active collaboration of students
faculty.
final
stuproand
A few programs are approved each year, particularly in the area of
Group Contracts, where the initial idea and a strong voice in the
planning came from students. We encourage this sort of initiative,
but new students need to know that each offering must have faculty
sponsorship before it can be approved. Developing a new Coordinated Study or Group Contract requires a great deal of work. It takes
determination and patience-plus the willingness to cooperate and
compromise with faculty and fellow students-in order to get your
idea off the drawing board and into action.
In Coordinated Studies programs, faculty sign a covenant among
themselves regarding the way in which they will conduct the program. In many programs, a second agreement or covenant is prepared by the faculty, outlining student rights and responsibilities.
Most Coordinated Studies run smoothly and efficiently, but should
an occasional problem arise, the existence of a covenant affords
vital guidance in bringing any dispute to a happy resolution.
In matters of program operation, faculty carry final responsibility in
seeing that the curriculum plan is carried out Faculty also bear final
responsibility in all matters of academic credit
Students have a right and responsibility to evaluate the work of their
faculty sponsors and seminar leaders. These evaluations are used
by the Academic Deans, along with other information, in assessing
whether or not faculty are retained. Students should complete an
evaluation of any faculty member with whom they work after the decision has been made on credit This eliminates any suggestion that
award of credit may have been influenced by the student's evaluation of faculty and allows students to give a frank critique.
Both students and faculty enjoy rights of academic freedom at
Evergreen. This means that no student may be denied credit because of political, religiOUS,or other beliefs. The student will often be
required to prove that he or she understands positions other than bis
or her own, but no academic program may require or pre-suppose
acceptance of a particular doctrine or position.
Graduate Study
Evergreen is in the process of seeking authorization to offer studies
leading to the Master of Public Administration degree. If the authorization is granted, the college would begin offering programs for a
limited number of students, (about 40), in Fall, 1980. Part-time study
will be encouraged and classes will be scheduled in ways compatible with typical work schedules of students who are employed.
The graduate program will be based on Evergreen's experience
with interdisciplinary undergraduate study. Preliminary plans are
being drawn up on that basis. FQrfurther information write to the
Office of Admissions.

Basic Programs
22
Basic Programs have been designed specifically to help students
just beginning in college get off to a good, fast start. For most students this means learning how to write easily and well in various
modes, how to read carefully, analyze and critique logical arguments, work cooperatively in small project or discussion groups,
work with the ideas of several traditional disciplines, and begin to
understand interdisciplinary study Basic Programs also aim to help
students connect their studies with their own intellectual and
personal concerns and to make responsible decisions about their
education.
As you can see from the descriptions below, we offer Basic Programs in a wide variety of subject areas-in the humanities, social
sciences, arts, and natural sciences. Each is an integrated study
program that combines a number of different activities (seminars,
individual conferences, lectures, laboratories-whatever is appropriate) to help you learn a great deal about the program's theme or
topic, and at the same time to learn about your own goals, about
defining problems and dealing with them, about the college's
people and facilities, about how to read critically and write easily and
effectively.
Evergreen stands for interdisciplinary learning, which means studying situations as wholes, not as collections of unrelated fragments.
Basic Programs are one place to discover the full breadth of the situations that concern you-the connection of artistic expression to
social conditions, for example, or the relation of biological facts to
individual psychology.
Students in their first or second year of college and new to
Evergreen are strongly advised to take a Basic Program.

This program will provide a cross-cultural exploration of art and literature. Emphasis will be on the visual arts and design and on literature and poetry. We will study various theories, themes and symbols
in literature, poetry, art, and art history. Readings will examine the
movements in and attitudes of a variety of cultures in the United
States as well as the development of various art styles in America.
The objectives and methods used in this program will bring the topics used into a sharper focus for the student and will develop skills,
techniques, and understanding so that the student will be prepared
for more advanced work in these areas. Participation and discussions via seminar will be held weekly on intensive readings in literature and poetry. Works of a variety of writers from at least two different cultures will be covered-the Native American and the American
Black.

and a final paper. The final project can also be completed with a
series of paintings, weavings, or other artistic materials or methodology. However, reading comprehension, writing, and understanding of the theory of literature and the principles of poetry will be a
strong objective of this program.
Art explorations will be in the areas of drawing, drawing from nature,
life drawing, basic techniques in oil and acrylic painting, and artistry
in various mediums such as textiles, weaving, and jewelry. Studio
work will be stressed, and those students who desire to do additional outside work will be encouraged. At the end of the quarters

The theme of this program is the question: As individuals and as
members of a community, what is a healthy state of being? We will
seek information and ideas from biologists, ecologists, psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, literary authors, health practitioners, and ourselves in pursuit of this question. Individually and in
groups of varying sizes we will explore the interrelationships and the
personal and societal applications of health. A strong emphasis on
improving basic learning and communication skills, such as library,
lab, and field research techniques, comprehension, analytical
thought. seminaring, and different types of writing will characterize
and support the development of our knowledge and ideas.
This program will be concerned with the relationships between men
and women and their society. Our work will be divided between
reading literature and studying the artistic creations of the past. We
will concentrate on these centuries: fifth century B.C. Greece, sixteenth century Europe, and nineteenth century Europe.
Both fall and winter quarters, introductory material in the biological
and social sciences will be presented through texts such as Sherman and Sherman, Biology: A Human Approach, Jacobs, The
Death and Life of Great American Cities, and Ford, Urban
Health in America, and four weeks of faculty and guest lectures,
labs, and field trips. This basic information will then be applied to
interdisciplinary health-related themes, such as stress, sexuality,
and the ethics of health care, and to project and research-oriented
modules, such as brain and behavior, epidemiology, and aging.
Spring quarter, students will be able to design individual or small
group projects or internships as a part of their studies.
Weekly seminars will provide the opportunity for discussion of literary and philosophical works (such as Camus, The Plague, Ibsen,
An Enemy of the People, and Solzhenitsyn, Cancer Ward), synthesisof the information and ideas from lectures and other readings,
sharing of reflective and expository writing, and the exploration of
personal and societal application of the program material.
Health is of concern to everyone. In addition to acquiring knowledge
and examining attitudes and values related to health issues, one
goal of the program is that students be healthier, happier, and more
health-aware individuals by the end of the year.
Planned equivalencies: 16 quarter hours Biology; 16 quarter hours Social

Fall quarter the focus will be on political and social values, using
documents from ancient Greece. We will begin with Homer's Odyssey, then move to the great Athenian playwrights Aeschylus,
Sophocles, and Euripides and to selections from Plato and Aristotle.
We will study the art and architecture of 5th Century Athens. We will
be concerned with the roles of men and women and study the ways
these roles are expressed in both literature and visual art.
Winter quarter we will move to the 16th Century to continue the study
of political and social values and focus as well on religion and the
arts. This means reading Machiavelli, Castiglione, More, Montaigne,
Cellini and Shakespeare, Erasmus, Luther and Calvin, Leonardo
and Galileo, and studying the works of Alberti, Raphael, Leonardo,
Michelangelo, Titian, Tintoretto, Duerer and Holbein.
In spring quarter we will leap ahead to the 19th Century. We will investigate such themes as the relationships of the individual to himself, to others, and to society; and we will look at what happens to
those relationships as they react to the impact of industrialization,
urbanization, and the new science. The reading list will include Dostoevsky, Melville, Marx, Nietzsche, and Ibsen; G. Eliot. Emerson,
and Goethe; Darwin and Freud; Dickens and Flaubert. In the arts
we will look at the Gothic revival, the arts and crafts movement, and
the Impressionists.
The weekly schedule for the program will include one lecture, one
visual presentation or activity, two book seminars, one writing session and an open faculty seminar. The faculty will offer special workshops to teach students to do close reading, to interpret works of art
and, especially, to write well.

This program will investigate the roots and evolution of science and
the various reactions to it. The questions it will ask are: What is science? What are the humanities? What have been the reactions to
both? Are those responses positive? Skeptical? Both? And other
questions. The materials will include history, philosophy, literature,
biology, mathematics, and composition.
The Western world from the 17th century onward has been characterized by a revolution in how humans "know." 'Revealed truth" and
"intuitive knowledge" have been discredited. Only "objective," 'verifiable" data speak to us with authority about the nature of experience, the world, proper perception, and the place of human beings.
Science is God; non-science is trivial. Since World War II, nuclear
fission, and the development of other frightening technological
capabilities, yet another major shift has occurred. There has been a
powerful resurgence of interest in literature and art, philosophy and
religion, and matters spiritual or emotional. Simultaneously, Western
consciousness has been racked with a grovving sense of futility that
unless these two separate "cultures"-humanism and science, logic
and creativity, et ai-merge more fully,hopes for an improved quality
of life seem unlikely.
In order to gain a meaningful understanding of science and the
humanities, students will attend lectures, read significant books, and
participate in workshops, lab sessions and field studies. In addition,
each student will complete both a humanities and a science project.
This program will place special emphasis upon developing basic
writing and mathematical skills.
The Humanism and Science Program will provide a half-time (8
quarter credit) evening option comprised of (1)a weekly lecture and
seminar, (2) a series of reading and writing assignments to be completed, and (3) either a science or humanities project. Two Saturday

Natural
This program will use the natural environment as a medium in which
to explore fundamental aspects of human life: social, psychological,
ethical and artistic. The nature of learning will provide a unifying
focus for the study of all these themes. Through both selected activities in the outdoors and reading, writing, and seminar discussions, we will integrate experiential and academic modes of learning. Examples of topes to be discussed include the relationship of
the individual to the social group, physical, psychological, and moral
development, science as a humanistic endeavor, philosophy of
education, and nature and culture as interacting systems.
This program is intended for beginning college students with a wide
variety of interests and goals. A major emphasis will be on the development of skills for further work in college abilities to read critically, write clearly and analytically, to participate in productive seminars, and collaborative group decision-making. Students will also
acquire basic skills in outdoor activities such as mountain travel and
safety, camping, ecology, first aid, map and compass, ski touring
and will have opportunities to practice teaching some of their skills.
An attempt to determine how we learn, and how best to teach, will
underlie all the activites of the program. We will work toward developing a reflective attitude towards all our experiences, both indoors
and out, in order to see under what conditions experience may become an effective teacher. At the same time we will discuss diverse
theories of education, drawn from such classical and modern thinkers as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Dewey, Rogers, and Piaget.

Political Ecology
Fall, Winter, Spring/Coordinated Study
Coordinator.' Bob Sluss
Enrollment. BB.
Prerequisites: None.
Special Expenses: Field Trips.
Part-Time Options.' No.
The theme of Political Ecology is human beings' effects on their environment. This involves understanding what the environment is, how
our values directly and indirectly lead to actions which influence it,
and the nature of such influence. In order to investigate this theme it
will be necessary to (1) learn basic ecological concepts to understand the structure and function of ecosystems, (2) investigate the
historical and philosophical inheritance of our culture which influence social and personal values, and (3) understand how these
values led to actions which influence the quality of the environment.
The goals of this program for each student include (1) examination

Part- Time Options Program is part-time with option for 12-16 quarter hours.
This is a study group designed for women making the transition from
home or work to school. The group will provide a place for women
who Joinit to gain self-confidence, develop academic skills in an individualized way, meet new people, and think with those people
about what to do next. Our study will focus on the individual and collective creativity of women. Women have always been creative beings, whether in the gardens they grow, the jokes they tell, the jobs
they do, the novels they write, or in the supportive social forms they
have evolved. We will read history, novels, and autobiography,
which support this premise as well as studying women's creativity as
captured on tape and film. A probable book list includes Nancy
Cott, The Bonds of Womanhood; Toni Morrison, Sula; Harriette
Arnow, The Dollmaker; and The Maimie Papers. Autobiographical writing will be combined with workshops on essay writing and
essay assignments to insure that every student learns to write a
clear, well-organized college paper, saying something important to
her in her own voice. Every week, students will read one book, write
two to four pages, and spend six hours with the group. Class time
will include two book seminars, a lecture and a writing workshop.

The computer industry is both a dynamic factor in the growth and
structure of the economy and a potential threat to democracy, with
regard to control of information and resources. Through their reading in the social sciences, students will learn how computers are rivaling the automobile industry for economic impact in the 1980's. At
the same time, students will learn how computers make it possible
for public and private organizations, through data banks, to gain access to private financial records or through systems of numerical
control, to undermine workers' ability to control their own working
conditions.
Students will learn how scientists and social scientists have tried to
anticipate, project, and even avoid problems by modeling them on
computers. The World III model of Limits to Growth and the model of
the effect of fluoro-carbons on the ozone layer are two examples of
computer simulations.
Students will learn about the technology of computers-what they
are and how they work. Students will also learn the Basic programming language and write programs using the college's HewlittPackard 2000 time-sharing computer system. Particular programming techniques appropriate to students' individual interests-in the
sciences, arts, or business-will be taught.

Annual programs are created and offered afresh each year. They
are our way of responding to current faculty interests, as well as to
the need for more spontaneous and wide-ranging
experimentation
on the part of students than is sometimes possible in the more fixed
specialty areas. (Student participation in program planning is, however, by no means limited to the Annuals area.) Annual programs are
intended to be offered only for a single year. Because the Annual
Programs arise out of more spontaneous demands, they are not all
planned at this point and listed in the Catalog. You will receive an
update of the academic programs with a description of new Annuals later in the year.

Study
This program involves the humanities, the social and biological sciences, and the expressive arts in questions evolving from the following premises:
1. the nation-state is no longer a viable institution for performing essential functions in the human condition (protection from external
threat, allocation of scarce resources, etc.) because it can no longer
sustain the human commitments
necessary for successful operation.
2. dilemmas in the psychic and existential life of modern man arise
not from his biological nature, but rather from the repression of hiS
biological nature developed in the process of his becoming the first
domesticated
animal.
3. because we are still the same biological creature as neolithic
man, life in the post-nation-state
may more closely resemble that in
neolilhic man's first affluent society than any which modern man,
domesticated
and caged into the nation-state, experiences.
4. thus, we may best glimpse our future by studying the SOCial structure, artifacts, biological mandate, and cultural residues of neolithic
man.
These premises lead us to examine man's artrstic. Intellectual, economic and social past from Peking Man through Homer and the
opening of the Bronze Age. This study will expose us to a rnind that
could recognize and live with qualities, a mind to which a unified,
logical field of Vision was foreign. This study will be pursued through
the examination of such materials as FALL QUARTER When God

Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary examination of human
and natural systems and their impact on each other. The Specialty
Area emphasizes field ecology and natural history, environmental
design and planning, and small scale agriculture.
Field Ecology and Natural History Work on the plant and animal
ecology of both wilderness and settled areas, terrestial and aquatic,
emphasizing observation and description of organisms and their interactions with geologic cycles.
Environmental Design and Planning: Work on the human presence
in the natural environment by investigating patterns of settlement
and assessing their impact on affected natural and human systems.
Small Scale Agriculture Work on the ecology of cultivated areas, ontheoretical and experimental foundations for innovative methods of
cultivation, and on the proper relation of agriculture to society
Focus on the Pacific Northwest will allow for a maximum of field work
and for dealing with real-life issues.
The expectation is that students will enter the specialty area by taking Introduction to Environmental Studies fall quarter and then take
either Evergreen Environment or Environmental Design winter and
spring. Alternately, students can enter through Energy Systems or
Small Scale Agriculture. Advanced work is available through
Applied Environmental Studies and a variety of independent study
opportunities.

Environmental Design is a two-quarter program whose goal is to
develop an understanding of the connections between cultural life
patterns, natural environments, and the physical and social structures of human societies. We will analyze ways in which environments act upon us, so that we, in turn, may choose the ways in
which we interact with our environment. We want to learn how to
identify real design problems, to understand their implications, and
to form practical and humane solutions.
Fundamental material in design methodology, community structure,
planning, physical geography, three-dimensional design and
graphic communication will be studied through faculty lectures,
guest speakers, films, seminars, studio instruction, field trips, research projects and practical applications. Emphasis will be placed
on improving visual literacy, developing a design vocabulary and
recognizing patterns of social behavior.

The energy problem is a complex one. To obtain a balanced understanding of it, one is inextricably led to consider its economic,
socio-political, and technological aspects. The goal of this year-long
program is to provide the breadth needed to evaluate the overall nature of the problem and to develop depth of understanding in one of
its principle aspects.
Fall quarter will focus on understanding energy-what it is-and how
it is stored, produced, converted, distributed, and utilized by modern society. The program's emphasis during the winter quarter will
be to acquire the depth of understanding needed to analyze
an aspect of energy in detail preparatory to carrying out a research
project.
Spring quarter will focus on research projects. Students will find
suitable projects in the areas of energy storage, biomass conversion, economic analysis, alternative energy policy formulation, or in
determining the feasibility of a particular solar, wind or geothermal
system. The projects will have a "hands-on" emphasis and a concerted attempt will be made to produce serious and useful results.
Learning activities throughout the first two quarters will include a
series of lectures by the program faculty on scientific, technical, and
economic topics; a reading seminar dealing with a few but important questions involving the social, economic, and life-style aspects
of the study; and workshops for developing and sharing technical
skills.

The subject of this three-quarter program is the small farm in contemporary society We will be examining the survival of small scale
farming in the face of contemporary and economic change, and
survival on a small farm through study of the sciences and skills
necessary for socially and ecologically sound agriculture.
If small farms are to survive, farmers must become aware of the social and political factors which impact agricultural lands and practices. Students will be introduced to approaches that can be used to
preserve agriculture and the various political and legal factors that
affect small farms.
If small farms are to playa part in our agricultural future, there will be
a need for more practitioners; therefore, a portion of the program will
be devoted to studies in practical agriculture and the agricultural
sciences such as economic botany, horticulture, agronomy, soil science, entomology, plant pathology and agricultural economics.
Students will obtain "hands-on" experience through work in the garden at the College's Organic Farm. In addition students will keep a
Journal detailing farm activities and farming results, complete a
series of reports relating farm observations to information developed in other aspects of the program, and complete substantial
library and field research involving some aspect of small scale
agriculture.

The goal of this advanced program is to prepare a revised land-use
plan for The Evergreen State College campus. The major focus will
be on forested areas and shoreline outside the campus core, with
the objective of producing a plan that recognizes both the ecological constraints and the needs of the campus community.
Fall and winter quarters, we will discuss natural and social science
research techniques,
land-use planning, the environmental
assessment process, ecology, forest and shoreline management, and
public decision-making
in lectures, seminars and workshops. Class
meetings will be held late afternoons or evenings to accommodate
part-time students, who would participate only in this part of the
program.
Applied work fall quarter will first involve making a complete review
of previous plans and studies, current uses and future commitments
for the campus. Students will then design and initiate base studies,
such as biological field work and community surveys, which will
provide the physical, biological and social data that must be considered in developing the master land-use plan. Winter quarter we
will complete the field studies and produce a draft plan and environmental impact assessment for community
review and comment. Students with strong backgrounds
in one area will be expected to work with students with strengths in other areas, so that all
can learn and integrate the many disciplines
necessary
for environmental planning.
Spring quarter, we will revise the plan in response to the comments
received and submit a final proposal to the Board of Trustees for its
consideration.
Lectures and seminars will continue
on topics
selected by students and faculty related to the basic theme of environmental planning.

Programs in European and American Studies will be concerned with
the historical and political trends, artistic and literary documents,
social patterns, symbols, religious beliefs and ideological convictions that comprise the way we now think and make up our past (and
future) as well. What are Americans and how did we get this way?
How is it that North America is dominated by the descendents of
Europeans but is very unlike Europe? What does it mean to be a
Native, Black, Chicano, Asian, or Anglo-American? These and other
central problems will be studied to give us a better understanding of
our world and ourselves in this world.
Study in this specialty will draw on the disciplines of literature, history, philosophy, and the subdisciplines of arts history, social and
economic history, cultural history, aesthetics and literary theory, and
Third World Studies, among others. But their methods and concepts
will always be applied to basic human questions, not learned as
isolated specialties.
Students in European and American Studies may expect to develop
concepts, techniques, and intuitive knowledge to which they will be
introduced at the intermediate level. These crafts and skills will include: an historical sense, a more developed sense of language,
advanced and refined writing skills (expository and creative), the
comprehension and evaluation of ideas, symbolic analysis and interpretation, concept development, increased cultural awareness,
and critical and precise close reading of texts, documents and
artifacts.

This entry level program offers intensive training in the fundamental
concepts which are essential to advanced work in literature, history,
psychology, anthropology, art history, philosophy and social theory
Students should also acquire the general background they could
expect from a survey course on the last three hundred years of
Western civilization, but we are primarily interested in helping them
develop the capacity to make their own careful judgments about
books, pictures, and events. The emphasis will be on careful consideration of great works and a few critical historical developments.
Papers and discussion in small groups will center on such major figures as Voltaire and Jane Austen, Marx and Dickens, Virginia Woolf
and Picasso.
We will begin in the eighteenth century with the rise of mercantile
nation states and new ideas about making progress by rationally
reordering the social and natural world. Then we will study some of
the historical developments which have severely tested these beliefs. In the fall quarter we will concentrate on the French Revolution's
effort to reorder political life and reactions to it in art, literature, and
social theory. Winter quarter will center on the benefits and costs of
rationalizing human work during the Industrial Revolution. In the
spring we will consider contemporary issues involving the limits of
rationality and human control; possibilities include the character of
modern war, problems in medical ethics, and proposals for responding to the environmental crisis.
Students should have the opportunity to think deeply about the development and value of some of the central forces and ideas in
modern life. We will give important works of the past few centuries
the attention they deserve. In addition to practice in library research
and expository writing, students will get rigorous training in understanding hard texts and complicated situations which will be essential in advanced study and careers.

This intermediate program concerns a fascination for what is difficult. Writing poetry can best be described as an impish attempt to
paint the color of the wind.
The real America, George Santayana once declared, is not to be
found in its literary masterpieces celebrating the individual's heroic
struggle for freedom, in documents proclaiming the infinite beauty of
the solitary soul, or in programs for moral uplift. The real America is
to be found in football, jazzbands, and money-making. Santayana's
thesis suggests the central problem to be investigated in this advanced program of study in the humantiies.
The life of the mind in America has always been a precarious affair,
its achievements in literature, social criticism, and philosophy either
rooted in some sense of community, of place, or tied to the wish for
genuine community. Writers and intellectuals from Emerson and
Hawthorne to Marcuse and Mailer have alternately hated and loved
the America of their day. And running through their work is the lingering suspicion that mainstream America is where the "real action" is.
This generalization (itself to be rigorously examined on its merits in
the course of the year's work) will provide a framework for our critical
analysis of several interrelated themes in American literature, life,
and thought. 'Build, therefore, your own world," Emerson advised,
thus succinctly stating a first premise of American culture. Other
themes include the dialectic of freedom and equality; alienation
and conformity; the possibility of autonomy in mass scciety; the integrationof labor and culture; and the tension between idealism and
opportunity. We will read, seminar, and regularly write about a small
number of classic texts by authors such as Emerson, Tocqueville,
Thoreau,Hawthorne, Melville, Whitman, Dewey, Dreiser, Masters, W.
James, Adams, Marcuse, Kesey, Heller, Bellow, and Mailer.
The major project for the year will be a senior thesis, the research,
writing and re-writing of which will be carried out under close faculty
supervision.
Planned equivalencies: 16 quarter hours American Intellectual History: Society

periods (with greater emphasis
on the period 1905-to date), literature of the 19th and 20th centuries,
history of Russian art in all its significant manifestations, Soviet economics, and Russian language. Special workshops on Soviet government and party structure, nationality and minority problems in
the USSR, and women's role in the Soviet society will also be offered.
The program will offer two "tracks" which can be followed separately
or Jointly language and area The program will begin with intensive
language training in summer 1980, which will last 10 weeks and
teach students contemporary
Russian. The language study will continue, though less intensively, throughout the entire program, culminating in 6-8 weeks of study and travel in the USSR. The summer
language program is open to al/ students, including those who do
not elect to sign up for the entire program. Students who do not wish
to participate in the language study can Join the program in fall quarter. All lectures, seminars and workshops will be conducted in English. Students who will not take the RUSSian language Will be expected to take part in at least two program workshops each quarter

Expressive Arts
"It is the collaborative spirit that instills us with
all the reckless confidence we need to take
the risks which welcome a new creativity."
Sarah McGuire
The study of the arts at Evergreen is holistic. Skill development,
aesthetics, history and theory, being inextricably bound together,
aretaught so. All of the arts-music,
dance, film, video, creative writing and the visual arts-are
seen as fundamentally
unified expressions of human experience. Thus, the arts curriculum at Evergreen
emphasizes: 1) the progressive development
of students' artistic
skills and concepts, 2) the exploration of commonalities
and differences among all the arts with specific attention to the study of artistic
collaboration, and 3) the integration of the arts and other disciplines.
Curricular offerings in the Expressive Arts include: entry-level programs in visual arts, performing arts and media arts to insure basic
skill development,
intermediate
and advanced
programs which
allow for continued skill development
in a particular area, coordinated study programs which foster collaboration among the arts at
the upper class level, and coordinated study programs which integrate the arts with other disciplines. In addition advanced students
are encouraged to utilize the individual contract and internship for
further specialization.
Students in the first year of college are urged to take one of the Basic
Programs. A Basic Program or its equivalent is the prerequisite for
enrollment in any of the entry-level programs in the Expressive Arts.
Second year, entry-level programs include Foundations of the Visual
Arts for visual art students, Foundations of Performing Arts for
music, theatre and dance students and Recording and Structuring
Light and Sound for media students.

required.
Design in Music will provide the concentrated work in music necessary to prepare students for a variety of advanced study options. All
students in the contract will study music theory of the late 19th and
early 20th Centuries, the period during which traditional harmonic
and formal practices disintegrated and contemporary ways of design music emerged. Debussy, Strauss, Mahler, and Ives will be representative figures in this study
In addition, all students in the contract will learn to identify musical
design in an historical context. Fallquarter, we will examine the ways
in which Medieval and Renaissance music was composed and
compare it to contemporary stylistiC trends in the visual arts. Social
and aesthetic influences upon creative work will be elements of this
study. Winter quarter, the focus will be on Baroque and Classic
period works; and spring quarter will provide an exploration of
Romantic and Contemporary stylistic tendencies.
In addition to the shared core of program activities outlined above,
students will be able to choose from a variety of performance, composing, and research options, some of which will be offered as regular courses and some of which may be arranged in consultation with
the sponsor. Among these options will be Evergreen's performance
ensembles, electronic music, instrumental and vocal composition,
applied music studies, orchestration, collaborations with students
experienced in other art forms, and research which unites music
with such study areas as psychology, philosophy, and the science of
acoustics.
Western music will be emphasized in this program. However, because contemporary Western music has been heavily influenced
by Eastern traditions and because popular and "classical" musics
are drawing ever closer together, creative eclecticism will be an important thematic focus of Design in Music.

We all have had the experience of seeing a play taken out of moth
balls and revived to the great salisfaction of modern audiences. Yet,
a large number of revivals of the so-called classics have failed miserably each year. What is in operation here? Do great plays always
provide great theatrical experiences for the spectators? (And, for
that matter, what is a great play?) To what extent can the combined
skills of the director, actors, and designers save a dull play from
being a disastrous evening? Is it necessary to subscribe to a particulartheory of drama in writing a play? What is the proper role of an
interpretative artist such as a director or an actor? As a member of
an audience, how do you react to a play?
This advanced theatre group contract is designed to explore the
complications raised by some of the above questions. Further, it
proposes to look closely at the multi-faceted relations between the
playwright, the director, the actor, the designer and the audience.
Tothis end, we begin by examining some theories of drama and by
studying the craft end of the theatre, i.e., playwriting, play analysis,
acting, directing, and technical theatre. As a continuation of the preparatory class work, one laboratory theatre production is scheduled
for fall quarter and two major stage productions involving the entire
group are scheduled in the winter and spring quarter. Further, student written and/or directed works will be presented to the public in
the spring quarter.
The modes of instruction include seminars, lectures, classes and
individual projects. Group seminar reading list includes Bentley,
Theatre of War; Clurman, The Fervent Years; Guthrie, In Various Directions; Morison and Fliehr, In Search of an Audience;
and Southern, The Seven Ages of the Theatre.

literature,
A one year group contract exploring the performance, theory, and
history of these musical idioms.
Students in thisprogram will be expected to rehearse and perform a
wide variety of literature composed and arranged for the contemporary musician. The literature will include music for large jazz ensemble as well as original student material for small group ensembles.
Theory sessions will be devoted to work on improvisation, scoring/
arranging, and composition. Students deficient in theory will be
expected to take courses in respective areas to make up these
deficiencies.
The final part of this program will be devoted to films, research papers, and a reading list that discusses the evolution of the contemporary idiom. Also included will be sessions on career planning and
placement.
This program (as well as the school) does not have facilities for private lessons. However, there are a number of extremely gifted
teachers in the Puget Sound area from which students can take lessons and these will be considered as credit generating situations.
This is an intermediate/advanced program and is limited to 25 students admitted by audition only Audition may be accomplished by
personal contact or by submitting a tape. Students will be expected
to have good instrumental playing facility and some theory background (two years of theory is preferred), as well as some improvisational skills.

Arts Management
Through its emphasis on interdisciplinary concentrations and its
well established Internship Program, Evergreen has had notable
success in preparing some of its students for careers and avocations in arts management. In the past, these students have typically
engaged either in the promotion of Visual and Performing Arts
events within their academic programs or in internships entailing
work with arts organizations (galleries, museums, production companies, state and civic arts agencies) beyond the campus, from the
Pacific Northwest to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Normally, Arts Management internships are negotiated for advanced
level students in their senior year.
On Campus Internships
During the past two years the college has initiated an intermediate
option for small groups, based on campus, in two areas of arts management (Exhibition and Performance.) Members of these groups,
while carrying out individual part-time internship duties, also meet in
Arts Management seminars to consider common problems. When
appropriate, the clusters join in larger meetings to hear visiting
lectures or to discuss issues relevant to both of them. On-campus
internships in Exhibition Design and Gallery Management are
sponsored by Sid White, College Exhibits Coordinator. On campus
internships in Performing Arts Management are sponsored by
Richard Nesbitt, Arts Coordinator and Communications Building
Manager.
Off Campus Internships

Kant
As a student in Health and Human Development, you will have
opportunities to study human beings holistically from a variety of
perspectives. The specialty area prepares students for careers in
health care and human services, both alternative and traditional, or
for graduate study leading to professions in fields such as psychology and counseling, social work, education, health services, biology and social science.
The entry level program, Human Health and Behavior lays the foundation for more specialized advanced work by providing knowledge and skills in human biology and psychology. This program
focuses on the interaction between the two and considers a variety
of questions and issues in a broad social, ethical, economic and
political context.
Inthe specialty area's advanced offerings, students further develop
their particular interests. Group contracts in psychological counseling, social and community services, health and education provide a
vehicle both for acquiring more in-depth knowledge of subject matter and for developing skills in critical analysis, written expression
and research.

Starting from the assumption that behavioral differences between
the sexes are not biologically determined, this program will explore
the origins of the sexual division of labor and attempt to determine
the factors which transformed this division of labor into unequal
status between men and women. Forthis we will have to explore the
origins of social stratification, the growing complexity of early agricultural societies, the rise of slavery and warfare, and the establishment of the ancient state.
This program explores the evolution of male and female roles and
images in Western civilization. We will discuss the social and historical determinants of sex roles in ancient Greece, medieval Europe,
and 17th century England and America, and the consequences of
the Industrial Revolution for men and women in the developed and
underdeveloped world.

Study
Because individual and social problems are so much a part of the
twentieth century life, we have tried to design a program to prepare
students to take an active hand in the understanding, resolution, and
control of those problems, It is our belief, though, that in addition to
intensive exposure to the theories and techniques of the social sciences, close integration with the humanities sensitizes the student to
the humanistic, cultural, philosophical, and moral context of social
and individual action.
Through a series of coordinated courses, seminars and individualized modes of learning (internships and individual contracts),
the student pursues ideas that are relevant to careers in sociology,
psychology, counseling, and casework. At each step the students'
learning will be placed within a broader liberal arts context emphasizing literature, history, and philosophy Depending upon student wishes, he or she may follow his/her interests in the humanities,
humanistic psychology, and the arts. Our goals are to help students
acquire the skills they need to achieve their career goals, and to encourage their understanding of themselves and the world around
them.
The program attempts to provide a balanced coverage of skills and
theory to allow students to build a strong foundation for careers or
graduate work in applied psychology and sociology Skill development will occur in the areas of counseling and interviewing techniques, group dynamics, evaluation research, and statistics.
Theories of personality, deviant behavior, and social interaction will
also be reviewed.
Most of the students involved should have Junior standing and
should expect to graduate in June, 1982, after two years full-time
work. There will, however, be limited opportunities for students to enroll as half-time students. Seminars and courses will be offered in the
late afternoon and evening to accommodate working students. Fulltime students in this program can expect to meet one late afternoon
and two evenings each week.

Studies.
This lower division Coordinated Studies program examines the political, social and economic context of the contemporary American
management environment. This program is desiqned for the student who has completed less than two years of college. It is anticipated that many of those who enroll will be employed full time and
will not have attended college for some time.
Particular emphasis is placed upon the development of communication, both written and oral, reading and critical thinking. These
skills will be developed through lectures and book seminars that incorporate ideas from the humanities and the social sciences. In addition, the program will offer students an opportunity to obtain a
background in accounting, economics and business math.
The focus during the year will shift among the three main sectors of
the American economy: the governmental, business and personal
sectors. The program will examine trends in state and local government employment and budgeting. Problems of governmental regulations on the private sector and competitive structure will be
treated. Consideration will be given to the changing role of the
consumer/worker in contemporary society. These and many more
problems and issues will be considered in a systems framework
which stresses the interdependence of the major sectors.
The material covered in this program will be useful for the student
interested in advanced work in the Management and the Public
Interest Specialty Area or for the student who is interested in developing specific administrative skills applicable to today's organizational environment. Students interested in a broad based start in
their educational careers will also find this program valuable.

Part- Time Options: Yes.
This program is designed to equip people with essential management concepts and skills and to address a growing concern about
the possibility of the American business system meeting the public's
needs. It serves as the first year of both the two-year business
administration curriculum and the two-year public administration
curriculum.
Critics of the American business system charge the modern corporation cannot be made responsible to the public; that by its nature,
business will serve only its own interest. Business defenders, on the
other hand, argue that the public good cannot be served without a
strong business system and that business is doing a good job of
meeting its social responsibilities. A third voice can be heard saying
that the business system, as we know it, is an outdated artifact of
another era; that neither business nor the public interest will be
served much longer by our present set of institutional arrangements.
It is one purpose of this program to come to grips with the issues
raised in these debates. The program looks at the relationship between business and the rest of society, including government, the
"external" dimension. To understand what it means for business to
meet public needs, a person must also know what it takes to keep
an organization going; that is, one also must have a grasp of the
"internal" operations of a business. While this theme sets forth a
conceptual agenda to which the program's discussion will return
again and again, a substantial portion of the program is devoted to
instruction in management concepts and skills.
This program is designed for students with a basic background
in business and public administration. It covers managerial economics, organizational psychology, managerial accounting, financial management, management practices, business policy, and
personnel.

A discussion of conditions effecting the recognition of social problems and the formulation, adoption, implementation and evaluation
of policies designed to cope with them. Special attention will be
given to educational and criminal justice policy. Because the
analysis of public policy brings together both questions of value and
questions of fact, it serves as a valuable focus for many basic
methodological and philosophical questions about the nature,
scope and limits of social inquiry.
Concomitant with an investigation of substantive issues of policy, the
program will afford the student an opportunity to develop practical
skills in the area of research design, data analysis and application of
statistics with particular emphasis on quantitative techniques of
program and policy evaluation. All students will be expected to become involved with an evaluation research project. The program will
be especially suited to students with an interest in human services

Political Economy
"I know no safe depository of the ultimate
powers of society but the people
themselves."
Thomas Jefferson, letter to W C Jarvis, 28 Sep. 1820
52
In the real world we experience social, cultural, economic, and political phenomena as aspects of an organic whole. Political Economy
recognizes the interrelationships of these phenomena. Topics of
study Include the historical development of the United States and
other industrialized nations: the problems of underdeveloped
societies in their relation with industrialized societies: the historical
contexts in which theories of political economy are developed and
applied: and the application of theory to contemporary problems. In
most traditional institutions, the concepts and skills involved with
these topics are treated as separate and discrete bodies of knowledge. In this speciality area, students acquire this knowledge, but
do so through emphasis on the broad connective concepts,
methods, and interpretations that serve to integrate them into ways
of understanding total societies and their transformations.
Study in this area will draw on the disciplines of history, economics,
political science and philosophy, sociology, anthropology, literature,
and law
Students in their first year of college are strongly urged to take one of
the Basic Programs Students just beginning in Political Economy
should probably enroll in Introduction to Political Economy, which is a
prerequisite for most other offerings in this area. Related offerings
from other specialities are mentioned at the end of this section.

We will try to understand how the major problems confronting the
American economy (energy and the environment, inflation and unemployment, inequality of opportunity) have emerged historically.
Within an storical framework we shall study two theories of how a
capitalist economy functions:
1. The Market Paradigm of modern micro-macro economics (i) its
conservative vision of limited government to preserve human freedom (ii) its liberal and Keynesian vision of government intervention
to achieve social justice.
2. The Marxist Historical Paradigm an attempt to show that
capitalism contains inherent contradictions that force it toward
socialism.
We contend that only by studying these two theories simultaneously
can they be intelligently compared, contrasted, criticized and evaluated. As our knowledge of theory and its assumptions, logic and
limitations deepens, so should our understanding of the problems
we face.

We will explore the relationships between the U.S. Constitution, the
Supreme Court, economic development. and the theory and practice of democracy. This will be done within an historical framework
from the founding to the present which focuses on the tension between capitalism as an economic system and democracy as a political system. We will look closely at the role played by the Constitution
and the Court in confronting this historical tension, and attempt to
determine how, under the "fixed" Constitution of 1787, the country
moved from a mercantile period into and through laissez faire individualism to the corporate state without fundamental amendment of
the basic law We will probe the social, economic, and political
dynamics at work that allowed for the fusion of political and economic power and the alteration of democratic theory and formal law

Faculty and students in this specialty area examine certain analytical methods and ways of thinking-logical, philosophical, mathematical, and experimental. They study them both for their own sake,
in fields such as mathematics, logic, computer science, and analytic philosophy, and as tools for the natural sciences. They study the
traditional natural sciences themselves, particularly physics,
Chemistry, and biology, but they do so in a broad cultural framework
which emphasizes the sciences in relationship to the rest of our
culture. They undertake original research in these fields wherever
possible.
Students in their first year of college are strongly urged to
take one of the Basic Programs. Students just beginning in
Scientific Knowledge and Inquiry should probably enroll in
Introduction to Natural Science or in Matter and Motion, depending on their previous background. Related offerings
from other specialties are mentioned at ttie end of this section.

Special Expenses: A small lab fee may be necessary
Part-Time Options. Yes.
This three-quarter sequence constitutes a foundation in the natural
sciences for students who do not already have a strong background
in science, particularly not in mathematics. The program will cover
important basic material in biology, chemistry, mathematics and
physics. Students who are mainly interested in the physical sciences and who are ready to start calculus should consider the
companion program, Matter and Motion, described in this section.
The weekly schedule will consist of program lectures, problem sessions,seminar, and laboratory work. The problem sessions and labs
will give students a chance to test and improve their understanding
of the ideas and techniques being studied. At the same time, the
historical development and philosophical implications of these
ideas will be presented in the lectures and readings and discussed
in the seminars. It is our view that science is not an isolated human
endeavor and needs to be understood within a broader historical
and cultural framework.
The fall quarter will focus on the development of the mathematical
and chemical concepts and models that are used to describe and
understand the nature of matter. Winter quarter will introduce organic chemistry, and at that time students will choose among options in physics, general biology, and calculus. In spring quarter
students will be able to pursue more specialized areas of study by
selecting two half-time options from at least four that will be offered
by the faculty teams. These options will include a continuation of the
general biology started in the winter quarter, plus some listed below

Prerequisites: Interview, coordinator signature required
Special Expenses. None.
Part- Time Options Yes.
This group contract is designed for students with a strong interest in
computer science, mathematics, or philosophy and who want to
explore some of the interconnections among these three fields.
Students will study a number of topics in mathematics that are interesting in their own right but also have important applications in
computer science. These will include mathematical logic, graph
theory, boolcan algebra, combinatorics, abstract algebra, and the
theory of formal languages. Both the theory and the application will
be emphasized. The problem assignments will give students the
opportunity to improve their skills in proving theorems and in devising efficient strategies for solving problems, either by hand or on a
computer.
In addition to the above activites, in which the student is actually
doing mathematics, considerable attention will be devoted to the
philosophy of mathematics and computing. After formulating precise definitions of "mathematical proof" and "computable function"
we will study one of the most profound and important mathematical
results of the 20th century-Godel's discovery, made in the 1930's,
that there are problems in arithmetic which are inherently unsolvable. As we shall see, this discovery and others like it reveal that
there are basic inescapable limits to what a computer can do. We
will investigate the extent to which the human mind is subject to the
same limitations.
There are no formal prerequisites for this contract beyond high
school algebra, although a knowledge of computer programming is
desirable. However, it will be assumed that students have sufficient
aptitude and motivation to be able to think logically and to be comfortable in dealing with symbolic languages and abstract concepts.

Special Forms of Study
Internships
An internship is an opportunity to achieve one's immediate
academic program or contract objectives and to progress
toward long range educational goals through carefully planned
and closely supervised activities in a "real world" learning environment.
Internships may be conducted through enrollment in a Coordinated Studies Program, a Group Contract, or an Individual
Learning Contract. Students enrolling for a Coordinated
Studies Program or Group Contract should plan to intern only
if an internship has been included among its options or requirement. For those enrolling in an Individual Learning Contract, an internship may constitute either a substantial part or
a minor part of the contracted activities.
Internships are conducted in a variety of field settings and in
many geographical locations. While a majority of Evergreen
interns are placed in the Southwest Washington area, many
opportunities are available throughout Washington state, in
other states and even in a number of other countries.
Each internship is sponsored by a member of the faculty or
by a uniquely qualified staff member who has been approved
by the deans for service as a contract sponsor. Activities in the
internship setting are guided and supervised by a field supervisor selected on the basis of his or her qualifications, experience and willingness to serve as a mentor during the internship. Field supervisors are valuable learning resources to
whom most students otherwise would not have access during
their undergraduate years.
Each internship- and each quarter of an internship conducted
for more than one quarter-is
planned, arranged, conducted
and evaluated in terms of one's academic objectives for that
quarter. It is an integral part of the student's total academic
program, growing out of his or her prior learning achievements
and resulting in additional learning outcomes that are as documentable and as academically creditable as any others for
which credit is awarded at Evergreen. Internship arrangements almost always include a strong, individually tailored
academic component (related readings, report writing and
the like).
The academic component is particularly important in the case
of an employment-related internship, a type of opportunity the
College provides for mature and exceptionally situated students to effect creative relationships between their programs
of study and their positions of employment during a portion of
their Evergreen careers.
In brief, an employment-related internship may be conducted
when a student who is already employed-or
who has obtained but not yet begun an ongoing position of employmentcan make arrangements with his or her employer for learning

activities in the work environment which (1) are related to his
or her academic objectives; (2) are decidedly different from
those ordinarily done in meeting the responsibilities of his or
her position; and (3) potentially will lead to documentable
learning outcomes beyond the level of his or her previous academic achievement.
All matters pertaining to each quarter of an internship-including but not limited to learning objectives, internship activities,
the academic component, evaluation procedures and the role
responsibilities of student, faculty sponsor and field supervisor - are negotiated and agreed to before the internship begins Agreements are formalized by completing an internship
document which is signed by all parties.
Recent Evergreen students have Interned in a variety of fields
related to their academic programs and career interests. They
include:
Accounting
Health Care Services
Agriculture
Health Education
Arts Management
Journalism

The Internship program is coordinated by the Office of Cooperative Education. Arrangements for each internship must be
cleared in advance with and approved by the Office. Students
interested in conducting internships should contact the office
at the earliest possible date to obtain a copy of the Internship
Request form and to schedule a conference with a Co-op
Counselor. Guided by the information supplied on the request
form, your counselor will be able to tell you about known placement opportunities that seem to meet your needs, counsel you
about the internship negotiation process, help arrange an
interview with a prospective field supervisor and, if you don't
already have one, assist you in locating a faculty sponsor Further, if the type of internship you need is not already available,
your counselor will work with you to develop one- provided
you make your needs known far enough in advance.

Center for the Development of
Reading and Writing
The Center for the Development
of Reading and Writing provides limited basic help for students who need skills development in those areas. Work is offered for academic
credit, for
the most part, through
seminars,
courses,
and self-paced
learning units of various types.
The program's
primary goal is directed
to serving students
who need to develop their verbal abilities, not only for the purposes of doing better and more satisfying
college work, but
also to lay some groundwork
for the broader purposes of enhancing their creative, societal and human potential through
these two vital tools of communication.
Credit by Examination
Information
regarding

(CLEP) is available from the Office of the Registrar which Will
also assist students
in determining
eligibility
for CLEP-generated credit.
Students can study foreign languages
Group Contracts,
Individual
Contracts
in Coordinated
and Courses.
Studies,
Coordinated
Studies offer the most integrated
approach,
as
they combine
language
study with cultural studies. In recent
years, programs
In Japanese,
Russian, French and Spanish
were offered in four, three and two year cycles, respectively.
The common
component
IS total Immersion
in the language
during Summer Ouarter: continued
language
study combined
with cultural studies during the academic
year: and a foreign
study component.
Other cultural studies programs
will be offered as interest and faculty resources
permit.
Group Contracts
will generally follow the foreign component
of
Coordinated
Studies to enable students to do advanced
work.
Individual
Contracts
may be possible in certain cases when a
particular
area of study is conducive
to individual
work.
Study Abroad
A chance
to study abroad IS offered through
some Coordinated Studies programs
which first Immerse students
In the
language, history and culture of a foreign land and then enable
them to continue their studies In that land. Shorter study programs are offered, for briefer periods. in conjunction
with programs developed
at Evergreen or through Contracted
Studies.
If Evergreen
cant provide opportunities
directly, we work With
other institutions
and agencies
to assist students to complete
projects
essential
to their education.

Self·Paced Learning
Evergreen recognized early that some subjects may be
studied effectively by students working independently using
materials that allow them to work at their own pace. Since the
college opened it has been building a collection of slide-tapes,
computer assisted instruction, videotapes, programmed texts',
and other resources with which students develop a personalized approach to study of such diverse areas as science, management, music, mathematics, and languages.
Students may use two main facilities for self-paced studies for
academic credit, either on their own or as part of a regular
academic program. One is the Self-Paced Learning Unit
(SPLU) Lab, which maintains an inventory of equipment primarily used in the sciences, such as calculators, microscopes,
chemical and photographic laboratory equipment, and others.
The other is the PLATO Learning Center.
PLATO is a computer-aided
instruction system that offers
thousands of hours of instruction in more than 100 different
academic fields. Here students can register for a complete sequence of self-paced instruction in, for example, "Financial
Management," or "Introduction to Computers and the BASIC
Programming Language." Some of these programs satisfy requirements for academic programs. However, "browsing" is
welcomed.
Teacher's Certification
In conjunction with the University of Puget Sound, Evergreen
offers work leading to the provisional certification in secondary
and/ or elementary education. The program is open to students who have attained at least junior standing and who meet
all other admission requirements.
Students who seek an education degree are urged to begin
planning their coursework early, as the requirements of the
program are quite specific.
The Library
Ideas, information, access to them and ways to communicate.
That's what our Library is all about.
Evergreen's Library provides the best library tools available
and a staff that responds to students' needs through their college experience.
An integral part of the teaching and learning process,the library shelters a wide range of subject indexes through the
most innovative media production equipment.
We have more than 140,000 books for your use and pleasure,
with more than 10,000 new books acquired each year. Our
print materials include more than 2,500 serials (journals, magazines, international documents, and newspapers), 36,000
government publications, and tens of thousands of pages of
material on microfilm and microfiche.
We also have available more than 4,000 audio recordings,
15,000 slides, numerous art prints, maps, films, video tapes,
transparency sets and items of realia.
Of special note is our reference collection, which consists of
thousands of indexes, encyclopedias, dictionaries, bibliographies and handbooks, which function together as a complex
information tool.
In addition to traditional information resources, the Library has
portable audio-visual equipment, which may be checked out
by anyone in the campus community.
The Mini-Media Production Center (MPC) provides a beginning-to-intermediate level media facility for use by Evergreen
students, faculty and staff. It is fully equipped with work stations including a photography studio, a graphic arts workroom,
audio and video recorders, listening carrels, multi-media program equipment and super 8 and 16 mm film editing benches.
For more advanced students, the Library is equipped with a
color television studio and a highly sophisticated sound recording and mixing studio. The Library also offers media production services in graphic design, photography, and audio
and video recordings.
In addition, Library staff maintains electronic media maintenance and repair services and the campus closed circuit electronic switChing center. The Library provides operators for the
Lecture Hall and Communications Building media equipment
and systems.
More detailed information about the various areas of the library may be obtained from the Library Hands On Book or
from our staff.
The Computer
The role of the computer in today's society and its importance
to citizens has grown until there is hardly an area into which
the technology has not been adapted.
At Evergreen, all students have access to the computers. Each
year an estimated 40 percent of our students find the computer "tool" a valuable problem-solving resource, one to which
they have open access, and a "hand-on" approach to learning.
With two Hewlett-Packard minicomputer systems, up to 48
students can use the computer concurrently, utilizing their own
programs or those drawn from the library of programs including simulations and data analysis packages. More than 40
terminals are located around the campus and terminals may
be checked out from Media Loan for individual use.
A remote job entry terminal system can be used for "number
crunching" or access to special software, with Data General
NOVA Minicomputers, PLATO, an analog digital hybrid system,
and an extensive collection of microprocessor systems rounding out the rich range of facilities available.
Students get a great deal of staff support as they use computer
resources, operate equipment and write special programs. In
addition, advanced students have facilities for applications in
Computer Science such as computer graphics. Individual
Contracts are also available with faculty and staff, as well as
Internships with computer manufacturers, software houses,
and major users including state government.
Graduates have produced commercial computer animated
films, attended graduate schools in Computer Science at Stanford and the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, for example, or
taken their knowledge into the work world as a powerful tool to
complement their other pursuits.
In 1978, Evergreen was chosen by a National Science Foundation study as one of ten exemplary colleges and universities
nationwide for its use of instructional computing.
Career Planning and Placement
Start your career and employment
planning early.
Evergreen graduates can expect satisfactory employment or
graduate school placement, if you define your interests, use
the college's advising and academic resources, and plan
ahead.
This service helps students identify career interests, gather
information about them. identify potential employers or graduate programs, and plan job or graduate school investigation.
We work with first through fourth-year students on an individual
and group basis.
Visit the Career Library (L 1213) and stop by the office at the
beginning of each quarter for your quarterly schedule of career
information programs.

Leisure Education Workshop
Because it's fun and enriches your life, students stimulate their
creative juices with non-credit workshops through the Leisure

With a kaleidoscope of activities, the program ranges from arts
to dance, to martial arts to cooking classes. In past years, the
program has presented workshops in pottery, photography,
jewelry making, woodworking, spinning and dyeing, weaving,
and dance represented by ballet, jazz, disco and aerobic.
Kung Fu, Ki, and Aikido, Tai Chi and Karate were actively pursued, as were skiing, scuba, tennis, parachuting, hang gliding,
and mountaineering. The performing arts were represented by
community radio and theater.
All of these good times are also available to faculty, staff and
the community-at-Iarge.
Recreational Arts

The Metal Arts and Ceramic Studios comprise the Recreational Arts Center, where artists real and would-be practice
their craft.
Jewelry making, small metal sculpture, lapidary work, leather

community, for the most part, the events are often free and always interesting.
The Tuesdays at Eight Lecture and Concert series brings outstanding musicians, lecturers and performers to the campus,
with the funding help of Patrons of South Sound Cultural Arts
(POSSCA), The Evergreen Foundation and the Evergreen College Community Organization
,
Beginning this fall, Evergreen Expressions, a major performing

Student Life/Services
Campus Communications
Newsletter/Happenings
Evergreen's communications system includes the Information
Center, Newsletter, Happenings and the campus newspaper,
radio station and closed-circuit television network. Effectiveness of these media rests with the willingness of individuals at
Evergreen to fully and actively use them to both send and receive information.
Published weekly during Fall, Winter and Spring Ouarters
by the Office of College Relations, the Newsletter provides
news and feature stories about Evergreen people, programs,
events and problems. The Newsletter is distributed on Fridays
from the Information Center. The copy deadline is noon on
Wednesdays. A companion publication, Happenings, provides
a detailed weekly calendar of various events occurring at
Evergreen. Happenings is distributed on Fridays from the Information Center. Persons with items they wish included in this
publication should submit them to the Information Center by
noon on Wednesdays.
Information
Center
Coordinated by the Office of College Relations, Evergreen's
Information Center serves communications needs of the entire
academic community as well as those of visitors to campus.
The Center, housed in the main mall of the College Activities
Building and operated by several part-time student employees,
distributes the weekly Happenings calendar; maintains a college master calendar; maintains a number of special announcement bulletin boards; distributes a variety of college
publications and documents; operates a telephone answering
information system; and, most importantly, retains up-to-date
information about activities relating to college governance and
decision making.

Essentially, the Information Center provides general information for coordinated community action and helps locate individuals and/or groups "where the action is." The Information
Center serves as a "publicizing" arm of the college, rather than
as an instrument of investigation and instigation. Its function is
one of letting all the left hands know what the right hands are
doing at any given moment. The Center actively seeks and
disseminates information about the broadest possible range of
goings-on within the Evergreen community and, to a lesser extent, the outside world.
The Information Center's operating hours coincide with those
of most college business offices, 8 a.m, to 5 p.m, Monday
through Friday during Fall, Winter and Spring Ouarters.
Newspaper,
Radio, TV
A newspaper, FM radio station and closed-circuit television
system operate in response to student interest, not only enhancing campus communications but also serving as learning
and recreational resources.
The Cooper Point Journal is a student-operated newspaper
sponsored by a Board of Publications appointed by the president and including student, faculty, and staff representatives.
The Journal primarily carries news, features, and commentary
concerned with Evergreen and higher education. Student editors are responsible for content.
Radio station KAOS (89.3 FM) airs a wide variety of shows
created by the students and volunteer area residents who support and staff it.
Evergreen's closed-circuit cable system-coordinated
by the
Library-provides
for distribution of television programming
either through the pick-up of off-campus commercial stations
or through the origination of programs on campus.
Third World Coalition
The Third World Coalition welcomes all persons of color and
offers them the opportunity and assurance that they have
complete access to equal educational opportunities at Evergreen.
The function of the Coalition is to act as an advocate through
referral assistance, academic and social advising, educational/political and social advocacy. It also acts as an information center for students of color and provides a comfortable
place for persons of color to meet.
The Third World Coalition also provides assistance to the
Asian Coalition, NASA, MEChA, UJAMAA and Third World
Women, in terms of advocacy and referral assistance, academic and social advising, leadership, technical assistance
and sponsorship of cultural and educational activities.

Once a problem has been identified, there are workshops, developmental seminars and other forms of group activity and
counseling available.
"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile."
Albert Einstein
A coordinator/counselor,
a counselor/consultant,
two counselors, and student para-professionals operate within a developmental frame work, blending traditional and new concepts readily adaptable to individual and group counseling as
well as occupational and educational information. Cooperation
between campus and community further encourages preventive rather than remedial program development.
When funds are available, the college contracts for professional service, such as psychiatric care, and always, counseling relationships are confidential. No information is released
without written request from the individual concerned.

Besides gaining new and special skills for a lifetime of wellbeing and expertise, sports activities offer recreational variety
to college life.
The Evergreen campus abounds in activities, including sports
clubs for soccer, basketball, softball, volleyball, running, mountain climbing and sailing, most of which offer instruction.

Affirmative
Action Policy
The college Board of Trustees has adopted a strong Equal Opportunity Policy in order to assure open membership and participation
in the academic community for all students and employees.
The Affirmative Action Office is responsible for developing, implementing, and monitoring (including receipt of and action upon discrimination complaints) the Affirmative Action program. This office
works with faculty, staff, students and student groups to achieve
equal opportunity
Evergreen's basic policy statement on equal opportunity and affirmative action, as codified in the State of Washington Administrative
Code, follows:
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 employment
opportunity statutes and regulations.
The college expressly prohibits discrimination against any person
on the basis of race, sex, age, religion, national origin, marital status
or the presence of any sensory physical or mental handicap unless
based upon a bona fide occupational qualification. This policy requires recruiting, hiring, training, and promoting persons in all jobcategories without regard to race, sex, age, religion, national origin,
marital status or the presence of any sensory physical or mental
handicap unless based upon a bona fide occupational qualification.
All decisions on employment and promotion must utilize only valid
job-related requirements.
The college requires that all personnel actions such as compensation, benefits, transfers, layoffs, return from layoff, college sponsored
training, education, tuition assistance, social and recreation programs, and that all student recruiting and admissions, student services (such as financial aid, placement, counseling, housing, student activities, physical recreation), except for assignment in college housing facilities consistent with Chapter 145, Laws of 1975,
first Extraordinary Session, and facilities usage, be administered
without discrimination based on race, sex, age, religion, national
origin, marital status or the presence of any sensory physical or
mental handicap unless based upon a bona fide occupational qualification.
Evergreen is committed to an Affirmative Action program-a goaloriented program through which it makes specific additional efforts
to recruit, hire, train, and promote non-whites and women; and to
recruit, admit, and educate non-white and women students. The Affirmative Action program is designed to overcome and prevent the
effects of systemic institutional discrimination and benign neutrality
in employment and educational practices.
The college will take affirmative action to solicit bids on goods and
services contracts from non-white and women vendors and contractors.
Governance
The Evergreen system of governance must rest on open and ready
access to information by all members of the Evergreen community
as well as on the effective keeping of necessary records. Decisions
and methods to be used for their implementation must be handled
at the level of responsibility and accountability closest to those
affected by a particular decision. Decisions are to be made only
after consultation and coordination with students, faculty and staff
who are both affected by and interested in the issues, except on
those occasions in which circumstances do not allow for formal
consultation to occur between those affected.
The Evergreen Administrative Code names the Evergreen Council
as the body responsible for discussing general and continuing
issues affecting the college, and for advising the college on ways of
addressing those issues. The Council consists of the president (or
designee); representatives from exempt and classified administrative staff; faculty; and students-all selected by their respective constitutencies. The Administrative Code also specifies that most specific problems or issues requirinq attention shall be addressed by
Disappearing (i.e., ad hoc) Task Forces, rather than standing committees and governing councils. Disappearing Task Forces are
formed as needed and are charged with researching and gathering
information on the issue before them, and for preparing recommendations, position papers and advice to the college. Meetings of
the Council and task forces shall be public, with notice of meeting
times and locations announced in advance.
The grievances and appeals system at Evergreen is designed to
provide a campus adjudicatory apparatus, the authroity and thoroughness of which should promote the resolution of disputes within
the college. Students, faculty, and staff who come Into conflict with
one another should make a determined effort to resolve those problems among themselves before relying on informed mediation procedures. If third party mediation is unsuccessful, a disputant who
wishes to pursue resolution of a dispute may choose to petition the
president for a formal hearing.
Governance and Decision Making, part of the Evergreen Administrative Code is available at college Information Center and describes the ways in which this vital process works. New students are
urged to obtain a copy of and review it for their own information and
reference.

Social Contract
The Evergreen State College
WAC 174-124 General Conduct
WAC 174-124-020 Basic Purposes-Individual
Members
Responsibility
of
of the College Community.
(1) The Evergreen State College is an association of people who
work together as learners and teachers. Such a community can
thrive only if members respect the rights of others while enjoying
their own rights. Students, faculty, administrators and staff members may differ widely in their specific interests, in the degrees and
kinds of experiences they bring to Evergreen, and in the functions
which they have agreed to perform, but all must share alike in prizing academic and interpersonal honesty, in responsibly obtaining
and in providing full and accurate information, and in resolving
their differences through due process and with a strong will to collaboration. In its life as a community The Evergreen State College
requires a social contract rather than a list of specific prohibitions
and essentially negative rules.
(2) The individual members of the Evergreen community have the
responsibility for protecting each other and visitors on campus
from physical harm, from personal threats, and from uncivil abuse.
Similarly, the institution is Obligated, both by principle and by the
general law, to protect its property from damage and unauthorized
use and its operating processes from interruption. At the same time,
it also must guarantee the right of the members of the community to
voice their opinions with respect to basic matters of policy and
other issues.
(3) As a community, Evergreen, through its governance structures,
has both the right and the obligation to establish reasonable standards of conduct for its members in order to safeguard the
processes of learning, to provide for the safety of its members, to
protect the investment of the people of the State of Washington in its
properties and to insure a suitable respect for the very different
tastes and sensibilities of its members. For these reasons, the law
empowers the president or presidential designees to intercede
whenever sound judgment points to a clear and present danger to
these concerns.
(4) Each member of the community must protect: (a) The fundamental rights of others in the community as citizens, (b) the right of
each member in the community to pursue different learning objectives within the limits defined by Evergreen's curriculum or resources in people, materials, equipment and money, (c) the rights
and obligations of Evergreen as an institution established by the
State of Washington, and (d) individual rights to fair and equitable
procedures when the institution acts to protect the safety of its
members.
"Art and science have their meeting point in
method."
Edward George Bulwer-Lytton
WAC 174·124·030 Individual rights of members of the Evergreen
Community
(1) Members of the Evergreen community recognize that the college
is part of the larger society as represented by the State of Washington, which funds it, and by the community of greater Olympia, in
which it is located. From this state of affairs flow certain rights for the
members of the Evergreen community, certain conditions of campus life, and certain obligations.
(2) Among the basic rights are freedom of speech, freedom of the
press, freedom of peaceful assembly and association, freedom of
belief, and freedom from intimidation, violence and abuse.
(3) There may be no discrimination at Evergreen with respect to
race, sex, sexual orientation, religious or political belief, or national
origin in considering individuals' admission, employment or promotion. Tothis end the college has adopted an affirmative action
policy (references Evergreen Administrative Code WAC 174-148,
Equal Opportunity Policies and Procedures-Affirmative
Action
Program).
(4) Because the Evergreen community is part of the larger society,
the campus is not a sanctuary from the general law or invulnerable
to general public opinion.
(5) The Evergreen community will support the right of its members,
individually or in groups, to express ideas, Judgments, and opinions
in speech or writing. The members of the community, however, are
Obligated to make statements in their own names and not as expressions on behalf of the college.
(6) All members of the college community have the right to organize their personal lives and conduct according to their own
values and preferences, with an appropriate respect for the rights
of others to organize their lives differently
(7) Evergreen does not stand in loco parentis for its members.
(8) The right to use the mediation and adjudication process is enjoyed by all members of the Evergreen community (Reference.·
WAC 174-108-06001 Mediation and Adjudication of Disputes,
Grievances and Appeals).
WAC 174·124·040 Conditions of
Leaming-Freedom-Privacy-Honesty
(1)Evergreen's members live under a special set of rights and responsibilities, foremost among which is that of enjoying full freedom to explore ideas and to discuss their explorations in both
speech and print without let or hindrance. Both institutional and
individual censorship are at variance with this basic freedom.
Research or other intellectual efforts, the results of which must be
kept secret or may be used only for the benefit of a special interest
group, also violate the principle of free inquiry
(2) All members of the Evergreen community are entitled to privacy
in the college's offices, facilities devoted to educational programs,
and housing. The same right of privacy extends to personal papers,
confidential records, and personal effects, whether maintained by
the individual or by the institution. Meetings of public significance
cannot be properly held in secret.
(3) All members of the Evergreen community enjoy the right to hold
and to participate in public meetings, to post notices on the campus, and to engage in peaceful demonstrations. Reasonable and
impartially applied rules may be set with respect to time, place and
use of Evergreen facilities in these activities.
(4) Honesty is an essential condition of learning. Honesty includes
the presentation of only one's own work in one's own name, the full
consideration of evidence and logic, and the recognition of biases
and prejudices in oneself.
(5) Another essential condition of learning is the full freedom and
right on the part of individuals and groups to the expression of minority, unpopular, or controversial points of view
(6) Related to this point is the way in which civility is a fundamental
condmon of learning. Only if minority and unpopular points of view
are accorded respect, are listened to, and are given full opportunity
for expression will Evergreen provide bona fide opportunities for
significant learning.
(7) All members of the Evergreen community should strive to prevent the financial, political, or other exploitation of the campus by
any individual or group.
WAC 174·124·050 Institutional Rights and Obligations.
(1)As an institution, Evergreen has the obligation to provide an open
forum for the members of its community to present and to debate
public issues, to consider the problems of the college, and to serve
as a mechanism of widespread involvement in the life of the larger
community.
(2) The college has the obligation to prohibit the use of its name, its
finances, and its facilities for commercial purposes.
(3) Evergreen has the right to prohibit individuals and groups who
are not members of its community from using its name, its financial
or other resources, and its facilities for commercial, religious, or political activities.
(4) The college is obligated not to take a position, as an institution, in
electoral politics or on public issues except for those matters which
directly affect its integrity, the freedom of the members of its community, its financial support, and its educational programs. At Hie
same time, Evergreen has the obligation to support the right of its
community's members to engage, as citizens of the larger society, in
political affairs, in any way that they may elect within the provision of
the general law
