President's Message
In just over a decade, Evergreen has
developed a solid reputation for excellence
and innovation in higher education. The
reason for this success is our talented
faculty, personal learning approach, high
quality facilities, and our motivated
students.
This past spring, Evergreen was one of
just 265 four-year schools chosen
nationwide (out of more than 2,000) for a
college guide published by the Nev.' York
Times. Within the entire Pacific Northwest,
only six other public and private colleges
were selected for this "inside report." The
Times said Evergreen has "developed a
solid interdisciplinary approach to liberal
arts," and that faculty members are "at
Evergreen to teach ... and are as accessible
as they are demanding."
Following a visit to our campus,
Pulitzer Prize winner David Broder praised
Evergreen in his nationally syndicated
column as a "remarkable and exciting
campus ... that has won a national
reputation as an innovator."
Similar remarks were echoed by
Ernest Boyer, former U.S. Commissioner
of Education and currently President of the
Carnegie Commission on the Advancement
of Teaching. Dr. Boyer noted that
Evergreen, only an educational dream ten
years ago, had become a "magnificent"
example among the nation's most recently
established colleges and universities.
These comments parallel those of the
national academic accreditation team
which gave Evergreen the "highest possible
evaluation" after an extensive review. The
team's report said that the college's
commitment to a strong liberal arts-based
education "pervades the life of the college
.. to an extent virtually unknown in any
academic community in the United States."
Also, the team commended Evergreen for
building" ... a rigorous, solid curriculum
with a very high level of intellectual
content."
We have worked hard during our
initial eleven years to develop excellent
academic, social, and recreational
programs which meet the evolving needs of
both you and society. This dedication
allows us to offer you a structured,
coordinated education that is exciting and
demanding, rewarding and challenging-an
education that prepares you to apply your
knowledge successfully in your work, life,
and leisure.
A recently released ten-year placement
survey showed that nearlv 90 percent of all
Evergreen graduates reporting are
successfully employed, currently enrolled in
graduate schools, or pursuing other chosen
goals and activities. Among our more than
5,000 graduates are successful medical
doctors, lawyers, business men and women.
government officials, school teachers, and
college professors. Over 400 graduates are
attending or have completed graduate or
professional work at more than 200
colleges and universities throughout the
nation and abroad. About 85 percent of
those Evergreeners who have applied for
admission to medical schools have been
accepted, as ·have 84 percent who applied
to law schools. These acceptance rates are
both well above the national average.
Among the academic honors received
by Evergreen and our students recently are:
three prestigious Danforth. Doctoral Stud"
Fellowships (for future college teachers) in
a five-year period, more than any other
college or university in Washington state;
II National Science Foundation studentoriginated undergraduate research grams in
five years, outranking all other schools in
the nation; selection as one of three public
colleges to participate in the Woodrow
Wilson Fellows Program, which brings
leaders in business, government,
journalism, and other fields to campus for
week-long presentations: and recognition as
one of the top ten schools in a survey of
1,300 for the use of computers in teaching
and learning.
Those examples offer both clear
evidence of past success and the promise of
future accomplishments for those who
accept the challenges of an Evergreen
education. It's my hope you'll read more
about our innovative programs in this
catalog, and decide to share our unique
learning opportunity for the 1983-84 school
year.

President
Education with a Difference
The Evergreen State College is a liberal arts
and sciences college with some very special
features.
Opened in 1971, Evergreen is the
newest four-year public institution in the
State of Washington. Located just outside
Olympia, a seaport community of 37,000 at
the southern tip of Puget Sound, Evergreen
was created to serve as a regional learning
center for the citizens of southwest
Washington and as an educational alternative to the state's other colleges and
universities. Because Olympia is the state
capital, Evergreen also serves as an
educational and research resource for state
government.
In the twelve years since it began,
Evergreen has grown to nearly 2,800
students, and distinguished itself through
its special approach to education, and by
the accomplishments of its faculty, students, and graduates.
At Evergreen you'll find:
Full-time. interdisciplinary studies that help
you develop an understanding of the
relationships among the arts.

"There is but one sure road of
access to truth - the road of
patient, cooperative inquiry
operating by means of
observation, experiment, record,
and controlled reflection."
John Dewev
Unified Study
Many of these features can be found at
other colleges, but the first-full-time
interdisciplinary studies-is truly distinctive. Nowhere else will you find so much of
the curriculum organized into unified and
focused programs of study. It is our major
innovation, and it generates everything
truly "different" about Evergreen.
At most schools, students enroll in
three to five courses each quarter. Frequently this leads to fragmentation and
multiple, competing demands. At Evergreen, you have the special opportunity to
study one topic at a time from a variety of
perspectives.
If you enroll full time, you will
probably take a single Coordinated Study
lasting from one to three quarters. Most
programs represent a full academic load16 quarter-hour credits-and
all of your
work is coordinated around a central
theme or issue. Reading, writing.
discussion. a nd research all develop ihe
program theme. You and your faculty
members are free from unrelated.
competing assignments. You can devote
your full energy to in-depth study. and take
the time needed to connect all the diverse
bits of knowledge you uncover.
Learning to make those connections is
one of the larger purposes of education at
Evergreen. The world is complex: problems
rarely have simple solutions. Learning in
isolated fragments might take you only
halfway toward understanding: the rest is
achieved by knowing how to fit the pieces
together.
Interdisciplinary Programs
Fitting the pieces together is what
Evergreen's interdisciplinary programs are
all about. They cover a range of subject
areas, or disciplines. in detail. but also
integrate the pieces into a meaningful
whole. By studying one topic from different
disciplinary perspectives. you'll begin to
perceive systems in their entirety. and
widen your perspective to a larger
framework.
The interdisciplinary approach is not
comfortable or easy. but it is rewarding.
You move beyond the safe boundaries of
specialization, beyond your personal view
of the way the world operates. Musicians
might combine performance with audio
engineering. A sequence of environmental
studies could include calculus and graphic
arts. Advanced programs in the humanities
and social sciences often include field work
which expose you to people and cultures
outside your immediate experience.
"Even though Evergreen (is) not
run on the competitive level, the
tools it gives you allow you to
compete when you have to."
John Paul Jones III, alumnus
You'll find Evergreen's interdisciplinary programs challenging, exciting and
demanding; and you'll get to know yourself
and the world better in the process. You'll
discover you have unsuspected talents and
abilities. You'll accept uncertainty as the
first step toward knowledge, and develop
persistence in your search for unity and
purpose. You'll be able to do this in a
setting where creative problem solving is
encouraged, developing your intellectual
tools applauded, and ideas are anchored in
the real world.
Seminars an Important Feature
At the heart of most Evergreen interdisciplinary programs is the Seminar, a
meeting of 10-20 students with their faculty
member for extended group exploration of
some crucial topic or reading. Although a
program might involve as many as 90 students working with four faculty members,
much of the class time in that program will
be spent in these small group discussion
sessions.
Students prepare for seminars by
studying a book from the program's
required reading list, by doing some
writing, or by completing a small library
research project. Students then gather
together, under the guidance of their
faculty member, to help each other understand the book, to critique each other's
writing, to share the results of their
research. For seminars to succeed, each
member must participate actively, analyzing the assigned materials, helping others
form their thoughts, thinking aloud,
ferreting out meanings and implications.
Such close collaboration with your
faculty and fellow students will help you
clarify your own ideas. The differing viewpoints expressed in such concentrated
group effort lend perspective and depth.
You learn to express yourself clearly and
forcefully, and also to work coopera-
tively=-two capacities Evergreen graduates
have found particularly helpful in their
lives and careers.
The seminar is used at other schools,
but generally limited to upper-division or
graduate classes. Freshmen often sit in
large classes passively listening to lectures,
interacting with other students only in
smaller discussion groups led by teaching
assistants. In contrast, at Evergreen
freshmen and seniors alike spend a
considerable time in seminar, in direct
contact with major faculty and fellow
students. 20: I is not a mere accounting
average at Evergreen, it is a standard
student:faculty ratio at aI/levels.
Evergreen Works
Interdisciplinary study, unified and focused
programs, seminars as the dominant mode
of instruction-all
these factors combine to
make Evergreen unique among the
country's liberal arts colleges.
It is a uniqueness that works. The
National Science Foundation in awarding
Evergreen an $868,000 grant, one of the
largest of its kind ever made, recognized
the college as a national model for new
kinds of instructional programs in the
natural and social sciences. Evergreen also
leads the nation in the number of StudentOriented Study grants awarded to undergraduates by the National Science Foundation. Student artists win an unusual
number of state-wide and national competitions. Graduates have enrolled for further
study at more than 200 schools around the
country, and several in recent years have
won prestigious fellowships at such major
schools as Harvard, Columbia, and Notre
Dame.
Our students succeed in these ways in
large part because our interdisciplinary
programs and our seminars encourage in
them daily the skills required for inde-
pendent study, group research projects, and
imaginative systematic analysis. And, too,
because our programs anchor themselves in
the crucial issues of the real world.
Placement
Adding a real-world dimension to
academic study is an expected and carefully
planned part of an Evergreen education. It
may also explain Evergreen's success in
competitive employment and graduate
school openings. Many students have a
year or more of near-professional experience through internships before they even
begin looking for jobs. The effect is noticeable-88 percent of Evergreen's graduates
over the years found successful placements
in jobs, graduate schools, government
agencies, entrepreneurship, and other
pursuits.
This impressive statistic was obtained
by surveying all graduates from 1972 to
1980, not just those who registered with the
placement office.
At Evergreen, you learn to think and
act for yourself, to work cooperatively and
negotiate with others, and thus to increase
your initiative. self confidence, and responsibility. You also discover the value of
cultural diversity by dealing with a wide
range of people, situations, and problems.
By making the best of your Evergreen
experience, you'll develop integrity and a
sense of responsibility for the choices you
make. You'll also learn how to make better
choices, so you'll leave this campus with a
stronger sense of what you need for a
satisfying life.
These qualities are just what employers and graduate schools are looking
for in college graduates.
Evergreen certainly is "different." The
record shows that it is a difference that
works.
Five Ways to Study at Evergreen
Evergreen offers you several ways of
approaching studies in the arts, humanities,
natural, and social sciences. They include
Coordinated Studies, Group Contracts,
Individual Learning Contracts, Internships,
and part-time studies.
Internships, covered briefly here, are
discussed in greater depth in the section on
Special Forms of Study, page 76. There is
also additional information on part-time
studies on page 72. For an easy-to-read
breakdown of Evergreen's curriculum and
structure of study, please turn to page 22.

Coordinated Studies and Group Contracts
How do Coordinated Studies and Group
Contracts 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')
Like any other institution, Evergreen
uses lectures, seminars, essays, research
projects, field projects and similar educational formats. But each program has the
freedom to order these elements in
whatever organization will be most
effective. Evergreen programs tend to
embrace a number of different teaching
methods. Every program is different, but
there are similarities.
During a typical week in a Coordinated Study program, you will probably
attend a general lecture with all 80
members of the program. perhaps twice a
week. You might also spend six hours in
small group discussions or seminars of 10
to 20 persons each. It is 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 you and your seminar
faculty. All Evergreen programs involve a
great deal 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. That
program has 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 they acquire the skills to approach
other problems in the same way.
Each Coordinated Study program has
certain activities in which all members of
the program take part. The most important
of the shared activities is the seminar. Some
programs also use highly structured workshops to train students in essential skills
(writing, research techniques. methods of
logic) or to clarify central concepts. Scien.ce
programs organize laboratory work and
field trips; art programs organize studios.
Students in Coordinated Studies also
work extensively on their individual skills
and interests. They write short essays and
critiques; they keep notebooks and journals. Many programs climax with extensive
individual or group research projects.
Many permit. or even require. internships.
Every Coordinated Study program
combines. therefore. concentration on
intensive group cooperation with relevant
independent study. Students in our Core
Programs are carefully trained to do such
work, and, having acquired such skill. go
on to exercise it in the programs offered by
the Specialty Areas.
Coordinated Studies and Group Contracts differ from each other essentially in
size. A Group Contract involves only one
faculty member and only up to 20 students;
a Coordinated Study program involves two
or more faculty, with 20 or more students
for every faculty member involved. A
Group Contract may be interdisciplinary,
usually centers on a seminar, and might
involve workshops, field trips, labs,
internships. What it necessarily involves is
concentrated work with one faculty
member.
Two Examples
The 1983-84 academic year provides two
interesting examples of the special opportunities which Evergreen provides through
Coordinated Studies and Group Contracts.
The year-long Coordinated Study
program "1984" will be taught by a computer scientist, an historian, a political
scientist, and a faculty member in literature
and history. This program will examine the
impact of technology on contemporary
society. When George Orwell wrote the
classic novel 1984 he depicted a chilling.
impersonal world and raised important
questions about the compatibility of
freedom and happiness. the nature of community, the relation between public and
private life. the control of language and
thought. and the role of war and social
planning. Now. as the year 1984 dawns. it's
highly appropriate to reexamine this
important work in light of recent history.
In the Expressive Arts specialty area
various Group Contracts will be offered in
the visual arts, weaving. sculpture. dance,
film-video, and music in the form of
apprenticeships. Students will have the
opportunity to work side-by-side with
artists who are actively practicing their
profession. In addition to extensive studio
work, all students and faculty in the
"Evergreen Artists-in-Residence" programs
will participate in a weekly Expressive Arts
Symposium which will serve as both a
forum for discussing current issues in the
arts and as a vehicle for student and faculty
performances.
Individual Lea~ning Contracts
An Individual Learning Contract is an
individual study plan worked out between
you and a faculty sponsor. You agree
verbally and in writing to complete
specified activities-readings,
field studies,
internship work, artistic productions,
research papers-while
the sponsor agrees
to provide regular consultation and advice.
A full-time Individual Contract should
receive as much of your energy and attention as a Coordinated Study program. a
Group Contract, or full-time studies at any
other college. Contracts are best suited to
advanced. imaginative. resourceful students
who have well-defined goals and can pursue them with a minimum of supervision.
"The main thing is to. feel emotion,
to love, to hope, to quiver, to live."
AugUSTe Rodin
To qualify, you must 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. The contract itself
reflects the results of negotiation between
you and your sponsor, and it binds both of
you to the obligations you specify.
The Academic Advising Office is a
good place to begin investigating possibilities for a contract. It 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 also can
provide valuable advice in organizing and
carrying out your studies under this
flexible, but most 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 be given 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 advising 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.
Despite the difficulties, a successful
Individual Learning Contract can be a
milestone in your college career, providing
learning tailored closely to your personal
goals.
Internships
Many programs offer you the opportunity
to work as an intern in the context of a
fully integrated academic program. Internships are also possible separately. In either
case, they provide an excellent means of
testing what you have learned in the world
of daily work and responsiblity. About
two-thirds of Evergreen's graduates participate in some form of internship during
their stay at the college. Most of them have
been placed in southwest Washington
businesses, schools or government agencies.

Part-time Study
It is possible to pursue part-time study
at Evergreen in a variety of ways. If you
wish to work toward a degree, full-time
programs with half-time options and
specially designed half-time programs
provide the most coherent method of
achieving that goal in an interdisciplinary
fashion. These programs meet at times
convenient for working students, usually in
the evenings or on weekends.
"Adult Life Explorations" and "Reintroduction to Education" are examples of
half-time programs available in 1983-84.
These programs are designed for beginning
and intermediate students. Each of these
programs has a long and distinguished
history of easing the transition for adults
returning to college. "Re-introduction to
Education" is particularly designed for
women returning to college.
Coursework , more akin to evening
study programs available at traditional
colleges, also is available. The table on
page 73 summarizes the preliminary list of
part-time offerings for 1983-84. This is only
a parital list, and other part-time programs
will be added later. A complete listing of
course offerings is available approximately
three weeks before the beginning of each
academic quarter through the Evergreen
Times, which is available from the
Admissions Office.
You also can do part-time study at
Evergreen through Individual Learning
Contracts, and Internships. Further
information about internships may be
found in the "Special Forms of Study"
section in this catalog.
What You Can Study at Evergreen
Evergreen's interdisciplinary curriculum is
particularly appropriate for the rapidly
changing world of the 1980's. Although it
spans more than 40 different subjects, the
curriculum is divided into just twelve areas
of concentration. Of these, eight are inter-

In addition. Evergreen offers two
professional programs. one in Teacher
Certification (see page 69) and the other a

degree in Public Administration (see page

Masters degree in Environmental and
Energy Studies in September. 1984. See

Core Programs:
An Introduction to Evergreen
Whether you enter Evergreen as a
freshman or transfer student. you are
strongly advised to enroll in a Core
Program. It will serve as your academic
introduction to the college and a stepping
stone to more advanced studies.
Some transfer students are reluctant to
consider a Core Program. thinking
mistakenly that such programs are only for
beginners. are entirely too easy, are perhaps
even "remedial." While it is true that every
Core Program opens itself to any student
regardless of preparation. it is also true that
the material studied and the activities
undertaken often operate at a remarkably
high level. It is not at all uncommon for
juniors and seniors. and students well over
35. to enroll in a Core Program. especially
if the subject matter is new to them. Core
Programs also provide new and transfer
students a chance to better cultivate the
essential skills they need to succeed in
seminars. independent research, and
advanced reading and writing. Many Core
Programs. recognizing that a large number
of their students are actually "advanced."
make special arrangements for them.
In any case, all students new to Evergreen would be wise to consider seriously
enrolling in a Core Program. whatever
their ages or past academic experiences.
Freshmen would be unwise to consider
anything else.
Core Programs usually last a full year.
and their content is broadly interdisciplinary. For instance, "Political Ecology"
investigates international politics and
environmental trends by drawing on
material from the natural sciences. social
sciences, and humanities. Other programs
combine different disciplines to study their
respective central themes. This interdisciplinary approach means studying a situation as an integrated whole, not as a
collection of isolated fragments.
Core Programs also are designed to
help you develop the intellectual skills. self
confidence. and maturity to meet the
demands of college. All Core Programs are
structured to provide you with:
Extensive work on oral and written
communication skills;
Small classes and close student-faculty
interaction;
Skills in effectively using the library;
Skills in problem solving and teamwork;
Development of critical thinking abilities;
Systematic orientation to the college. its
methods and resources;
Regular. personal evaluation between
faculty and students; and
Systematic. individualized academic
advising.
Evergreen proudly staffs Core
Programs with its most experienced
faculty, women and men who are particularly able to work with entering students.
Unlike many colleges, Evergreen runs its
Core Programs at a lower student-faculty
ratio than its upper division programs.
Successful individual study requires this
close student-faculty interaction.
Annual Programs
Annual Programs make up an area of
Evergreen's curriculum that changes each
year according to the needs and interests of
students and faculty. A group of faculty
may explore a new interdisciplinary theme.
a group of students may initiate their own
program. or visiting faculty members may
develop an annual program to apply their
special expertise. Some of the most creative
programs now within the Specialty Areas
were originally Annual Programs. For an
example of one exciting Annual Program.
check out the "1984" program description
on page 31 -it's a unique opportunity
which will not be repeated!
The Specialty Areas
After taking one of the Core programs for
a year. you may begin taking programs in
the various areas of specialization. Evergreen offers eight interdisciplinary areas of
specialization, called Specialty Areas. on an
ongoing basis. Each of these Specialty
Areas listed below provides a complex
curriculum. ranging from one to three
years in length, and opportunities for a
number of different career paths.
In the Environmental and Marine
Studies specialty area, for example, you
will find a multi-track curriculum which
allows you to emphasize natural history,
energy studies. marine studies, agriculture,
environmental design, or applied community studies. The same variety can be found
in most other Specialty Areas
Many students develop individual
plans of study which combine programs in
various Specialty Areas. If you have an
interest in arts administration, for example,
you might take work in the management
area of European and American Studies,
and in the Expressive Arts. Similarly, if
you have an interest in health and human
services, you would benefit from such
programs as "Health and Human
Behavior," "Management and the Public
Interest," and "Nutrition, Culture, and
Community Health."
Your academic advisor is an
invaluable resource in helping plan your
program at Evergreen to best suit your
academic interests and needs.
Program descriptions for each of the
Specialty Areas are listed from page 20 to
77 in the Academic Offerings section of this

Curriculum Planning
Evergreen's flexible curriculum can be
molded and changed to meet new student
needs and to utilize new information
arising from scholarly research. Yet there is
also continuity from year to year, allowing
you and other students to plan your selection of programs and contracts. Well-tested
Core Programs tend to be repeated, as do
entry-level beginning programs in the
Specially Areas.
.\

'1..-.,.
Evergreen faculty take the major role
in curriculum planning, but they encourage
student participation. Opportunities for
you to participate and comment are provided through Specialty Area meetings
prior to the spring planning retreat.
Each year, a few new programs,
usually Group Contracts, are approved as a
response to suggestions or proposals initiated by students. Evergreen encourages
this sort of initiative, but new students need
to know that each offering must be sponsored by faculty and approved by academic
deans. Developing a new Coordinated
Study or Group Contract requires a great
deal of work and advanced planning. Curriculum planning begins a full 18 months
before the program is offered!
Program Planning and Covenants
Once underway, a Coordinated Study
program or a Group Contract is not subject to major replanning. Most programs
are fully designed in advance, and students
occasionally participate in that detailed
planning. Faculty are held responsible by
the academic deans to stay as close to the
originally submitted plan as possible, so
that you get the program originally
announced in that year's catalog, not a
variation of it invented at a later date.
Faculty are, of course, responsive to
your needs as a program unfolds. It has
even happened, on occasion, that students
have been given large responsibility for
planning some segment of a program. But
changing the structure or content of a
program is undertaken only when nothing
else will work, and only by consensus of
the faculty involved.
In Coordinated Study programs,
faculty sign afaculty covenant among
themselves regarding the way in which they
will conduct the program. In many
programs, a second agreement or covenant,
a student covenant, is prepared by the
faculty, outlining student rights and responsibilities. Among the more important
points such covenants usually cover is how
credit will be awarded, in what amounts,
for what activities, and just what a student
must accomplish in order to earn credit.
Faculty responsibilities also are specified.
Most Coordinated Studies run smoothly
and efficiently, but should an occasional
problem arise, these covenants can guide
the resolution of disputes.
Whenever possible, you should examine the program plan and the program
covenant when considering whether to sign
up for that program.
Choosing Your Program
Evergreen recognizes that students differ in
maturity and personality as well as interests
and capacities. The college acknowledges
and tries to build upon this diversity. For
this reason there are no structured majors.
or specific required courses for all students.
The alternative to requirements is not
random choice of academic courses, but
rather highly individualized, carefully
thought-out educational plans. Close interaction between you, your faculty, and a
well-functioning advising system are critical
ingredients in making such a system work
for you. Although responsibility for this
educational planning ultimately rests with
you, the college has developed many
resources to assist you in the planning
process, ranging from Core Programs to
the Career Planning and Placement and
Academic Advising Offices.
As you plan your program, Evergreen
encourages you to develop breadth and
depth in your educational background, to
acquire the communications skills
necessary to function effectively in this
rapidly changing society, to become an able
critical thinker, to acquire an understanding of the significance of cultural
differences, and to become an effective

problem-solver. To do this, you may find
an applied experience, such as an internship or a major research project, an
important part of your Evergreen education as has been true for the majority of
students. You may also want to complete a
senior project as the capstone to your
education here.
Academic Advising
Choosing the most appropriate academic
program or contract each quarter or each
year is a serious decision. Several sources
of information and advice are available to
help you clarify your long and short range
learning goals and make the best program
selection, long-range academic goals, and
the process of designing the "path" of your
undergraduate education. Your advisor will
work to ensure that your choices are
thoughtful and relevant to your plans for
future employment or graduate school.
Your advisor will maintain a record of your
advising meetings to ensure continuity. He
or she will also serve as a resource person.
referring you to other faculty or campus
services whose help you might need.
Your seminar leader and current
program faculty will provide ongoing
counseling and advising as a natural result
of the close and frequent contact with you.
If you're enrolled in Core PrOf{rWl1S,you'll
be able to attend an academic advising
workshop each quarter, You'll also find
that students who have been at Evergreen
for a few years offer another va lua ble
source. In addition you can get information
from your faculty advisor, at the quarterly
Academic Fairs, and in the Academic
Advising Office.
The Academic Advising Office
As the central source of all academic
information on campus. Academic
Advising coordinates the entire advising
program. under the direction of an
assigned faculty member. The primary
functions of Academic Advising include:
assigning you a faculty advisor; providing
current information about programs;
conducting advising workshops, particularly for Core Programs; and offering
counsel when faculty advisors are on leave
or if you need additional assistance.
More information on the Academic
Advising Office is available in the Student
Services section of this catalog on page 87.
Appointments and drop-in hours are
available in Library 1221.
Your Faculty Advisor
After you complete a Core Program. or if
you transfer into Evergreen with at least a
year of previous college work. you will be
assigned to a faculty advisor who will
remain with you as long as you're at
Evergreen. Because your program faculty
change from year to year. it is important to
have an advisor who'll provide counseling
throughout your college career. Your
preference is considered. and care is given
to assign you a faculty member with
academic background or experience in the
areas you indicate as long-range goals.
You and your faculty advisor will
discuss and plan your current program
Academic Fairs
Near the end of each quarter-and
at the
start of Fall Quarter-an
Academic Fair is
held at which faculty from all programs
and from the Individual Contract pool
gather in one room, at one time. to discuss
their offerings with you and answer your
questions. They sit at tables clearly marked
with program titles, and they have their
program descriptions, schedules, and
covenants with them. Personnel from
Academic Advising, the Registrar's Office,
and the Deans also attend.
This is your best, most direct opportunity to find out how a program you may
be considering will be structured. what
selections.
Faculty members have final responsibility
for seeing that the curriculum plan for their
program is carried out. They also bear final
responsibility for all matters of academic
credit,
In Coordinated Study programs.
faculty decide the amount of credit that can
be earned, the subject areas in which it can
be earned, and the requirements for
earning it. These decisions are specified in
program covenants, and should also be
specified in each individual contract.
Although there is usually room for some
negotiation between you and your faculty
on particular matters, the program
covenant or the contract alwavs sets the
limits. You can and should discuss all this
thoroughly with your faculty.
Both you and the faculty enjoy academic freedom at Evergreen. This means
that no student may be denied credit
because of political. religious or other
beliefs. Of course. you will often be
required to prove that you understand positions other than your own. But no academic program may require or presuppose
acceptance of a particular doctrine or
position.
Narrative Evaluations
Instead of giving grades, Evergreen faculty
write narrative evaluations of each
student's work. These evaluations describe
in detail just what this particular student
did in the program or contract, what this
student was attempting to do, where this
student's area of concentration lay. and
how well this student succeeded. These
narrative evaluations provide a vastly more
detailed and insightful analysis of your
work and progress than any set of number
or letter grades.
The faculty evaluation of student work
also lists a set of Course Equivalencies, that
divides the credit earned in the program or
contract into its constituent parts, and
assigns them rough titles to aid other
schools or future employers in "translating"
the credit earned into approximations of
standard courses. Sometimes these
equivalencies are easy to make ("Introductory Psychology," "Theoretical Physics").
but just as often the program work resists
simple translation into traditional courses.
In either case, these rough equivalencies are
generally indicated in the catalog, and
initial program materials.
Each student also writes a selfevaluarion. You will describe your work in
your own words, explaining what was most
important to you, what was unimportant,
and why. You will offer evidence of your
comprehension and provide details about
your progress a nd success in the program.
This self-evaluation. when done carefully
and seriously. often represents a major part
of your learning experience. for in it you
summarize your experience. put everything
in order. connect this study to your past
learning. and indicate its connection with
your future plans. Self-evaluations are
often the most revealing documents in a
student's transcript.
The student's transcript consists. not
of a set of course titles and letter grades.
but of both faculty evaluations and student
self-evaluations. along with detailed
program descriptions or actual Individual
Contracts. Thus. when you send your
Evergreen transcript to another school or
future employer. they receive. in effect. a
detailed history and evaluation of your
work here. This transcript is hefty. but if
you and your faculty write it carefully it
can be a highly useful document.
Student Evaluation of Faculty
Students have the right and responsibility
to evaluate the work of their faculty
sponsors and seminar leaders. These evaluations are used by the faculty in their own
development, and can guide them toward
the improvement of their own teaching
strategies. Faculty need to know specifically
what you think has worked and what has
not worked.
Student evaluations of faculty also are
used by the academic deans, along with
other information, in helping with faculty
development. and in assessing whether or
not faculty are retained. At a school where
teaching is our most important commitment, student evaluations of faculty are
among our most important documents.
You can complete an evaluation of
any faculty member with whom you work
after the decision has been made on credit.
This eliminates any suggestion that award
of credit may have been influenced by your
evaluation of faculty, and allows you to
give a frank critique. This is done by
turning the faculty evaluation in to the program secretary. She will hold it until credit
has been awarded, and then give it to the
faculty.
Evaluation Conferences
The final week of every quarter is "Evaluation Week." It corresponds to the
conventional "exam week." except that it is
devoted entirely to writing and discussing
student and faculty evaluations.
Each faculty member has somewhat
different practices, simply because each has
a personal style.' But there are some
uniformities. Students in programs and
contracts should have individual conferences with their faculty to discuss the
evaluations. Both the self-evaluation and
the faculty evaluation of your work should
be discussed.

If differences of opinion exist between
student and faculty, they can usually be
worked out, face-to-face. during this
conference. Faculty regularly comment on
and suggest changes in the student's selfevaluation. Students have the same rights
in regard to faculty evaluations of their
work. The conference often includes discussion of the student evaluation of the
faculty. When both parties are satisfied that
the evaluations are full. accurate, and fair.
they are sent to the Registrar's Office.
Many programs also produce "inhouse evaluations" of each student's
work-informal.
relaxed. and utterly candid assessments, which are meant as
private communications between faculty
and student. These can come at mid-term.
at the end of a term. or at any point in the
program where such advice seems
appropriate.
These formal and informal written
evaluations. plus individual conferences
and the many contacts you have with
program faculty. mean that you need never
be puzzled for very long about how well
you are doing in a program.
Obviously. such an elaborate evaluation procedure is only possible in programs
and contracts. Course evaluations arc brief.
and only rarely involve conferences with
the faculty. Even in courses. however. you
write self-evaluations and evaluations or
the faculty.

Admissions
14
Admission Procedure
All applicants who wish to be considered
for acceptance as fully matriculated
students must submit the following items to
the Admissions Office:
I. The Washington Uniform Application.
A non-refundable application fee of $15
must accompany this form. Check or
money order should be payable to The
Evergreen State College.
2. Official transcripts of all previous
college work and. for those applying
directly from high school or with less than
45 quarter hours of college work. a record
of completed high school courses, including
rank in graduating class.
A transcript is considered official if (a)
it bears the seal of the institution. (b) it is
signed by an appropriate college/ university
official. and (c) it is sent directly from the
college/ university to the Admissions Office.
Evergreen seeks to attract a diverse
student body. All applicants are considered
on an individual basis. The admission
process is conducted without regard to
race, color. national origin, sex or
handicap. If qualified applications should
exceed available space, further admission
decisions may take into account a variety
of factors to achieve a diverse student body.
If. in receiving a completed application. Evergreen determines that a person's
enrollment could present a physical danger
or threat to members of the campus
community, the college reserves the right to
deny admission.
Application Deadlines
Applicants for Fall Quarter should have
completed the admission procedures by
September I, December 15 for Winter
Quarter, and March I for Spring Quarter.
Summer Quarter has open enrollment.
Transfer Students
Freshman Admission
Requirements
Normally, any graduate of an accredited
high school in the upper half of the
graduating class will be considered for
admission. If ranking is not available, the
applicant will be considered on an individual basis. If you do not fall in the upper
half of your graduating class you will need
to show evidence of your ability to succeed
at Evergreen by submitting test scores,
letters of recommendation from persons
who are in a position to give a professional
judgment, and other supporting data as
requested by the Admissions Office. Test
scores most commonly submitted include
the Washington Pre-College Test, the
Scholastic Aptitude Test or the American
College Test.
Evergreen expects high school
applicants' transcripts to show successful
completion of a variety of academic
courses which indicate adequate preparation for a challenging collegiate program.
Admission can be granted on the basis
of six, but preferably seven, semesters of
high school work. Applicants admitted on
this basis must submit a transcript showing
the completed high school record and date
of graduation before acceptance is final.
General Educational
Development Tests
Applications also will be accepted from
persons 18 years of age or older who have
completed the General Educational Development tests, but have not actually
graduated from an accredited high school.
Normally, the applicant is expected to have
scored at the fiftieth percentile or above in
all test categories.
If you are a transfer student, you will be
considered for admission if you left your
previous college in good academic standing
and made satisfactory progress. Applicants
from other colleges or universities who
have completed 45 or more quarter hours
of credit (or the equivalent), need not
submit high school transcripts or test
scores. Those who have completed less
than 45 quarter hours of college level work
will submit high school transcripts in
addition to college transcripts.
As a transfer student, you are required
to present an official transcript from each
college or university you attended. Failure
to provide all transcripts to the Admissions
Office constitutes grounds for disenrollment. Action will be taken on a transfer
application when all transcripts for
previously completed work have been
received. If you enter Evergreen Fall
Quarter and you are currently enrolled in
another institution, you must have an
official copy of that record sent to the
Admissions Office immediately following
completion of the course(s).
Transfer of Credit
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 twoyear colleges is 90 quarter credit hours.
If you are a transfer student who has
completed the appropriate Associate in
Arts degree at a Washington state
community college, you may receive the
maximum of 90 transfer credits. Since the
community colleges offer several degree
programs, you should consult your advisor
for more specific information.
The procedure for transferring credit
is to supply official transcripts of all
previous work at the time of application
for admission. The Admissions Office will
evaluate the credit and supply you with a
report upon completion of the admission
procedure.
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
"D" or "F" grade was received are not
acceptable in transfer, nor are physical
education activity courses, remedial courses
or high school equivalency courses. Some
vocational and personal development
courses are transferable, others are not.
Contact the Admissions Office 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 case-by-case
basis by the Registrar. The principle used is
"I would recommend that students
be serious, that they are ready to
accept experimentation as a way
of life, that they are ready to
challenge, and accept a
responsible role in government.
They should develop a network
while there, and do as many
external activities as they can."
Perry Newell, alumnus
that the work performed should be equivalent to work for which a four-year college
or university would normally give credit
toward the B.A. degree.
Upside-Down Degree Program
If you hold a vocational or technical
Associate degree from a two-year accredited college, you may be eligible for the
Upside-Down Degree Program.
Working with a faculty committee,
you earn 90 credits at Evergreen in interdisciplinary study designed to assure a level of
general education comparable to other
bachelor's degree recipients. Upon successful completion of these 90 credits, the
voc/tech degree program will be posted as
90 transfer credits and you will be recommended for a bachelor's degree. Noncompletion of the recommended 90 Evergreen
credits will result in a course-by-course
evaluation; such an evaluation usually
results in less than 90 transfer credits.
Minimum eligibility criteria include
the achievement of at least a 2.5 cumulative
grade average and satisfactory completion
of at least one, preferably two, English
composition course(s). Further details on
the types of programs which are acceptable
for the Upside-Down Degree Program are
available from the Admissions Office.
Returning Students
If you were previously enrolled at Evergreen and plan to return after having withdrawn from the college or taking a leave of
absence for more than four quarters, you
must fill out the Washington State Uniform
Application and submit a $15 nonrefundable application fee. You must
submit copies of all transcripts from
colleges/ universities attended since leaving
Evergreen. The admission decision will be
based on the complete academic record.
International Students
If you are a freshman international student
and you have met the minimum entrance
requirements for college in your native
country and you can provide evidence of
proficiency in the English language, as well
as financial stability, you will be considered
for admission. If you are transferring from
a college in your own country or in the
United States, you must also meet the
regular transfer admission requirements as
described above.
All internarional students should
complere and submit:
I. The Washington State Uniform Application and pay the $15 non-refundable
application fee.
2, Official copies of all high school and/ or
college records.
3, Results of the Test of English as a
Foreign Language (TOEFL).
4. Evidence of having at least $8500 (U.S.)
to pay all normal expenses for one year's
enrollment at Evergreen.
Conditional Admission
The Admissions Committee considers a/l
applicants on an individual basis. Applicants who do nor meet the admissions
crireria may be asked 10 submir addirional
information. The Admissions Committee
may offer a condirional admission if rhe
applicant's credentials show rhar he/she has
a reasonable chance for academic success
in Evergreen's unique academic programs.
Students admitted on a condirional basis
are required ro accept andfulfill the
conditions ourlined in rheir letter of
admissions.
Special Students and Auditors
If you are a part-time student and do not
wish to have academic work immediately
applied toward your degree. you do not
have to complete the application process
outlined under the admission procedure
section. Entry into part-time work for nonmatriculant students is handled directly by
the Registrar's Office.
The categories of Special Student and
Auditor are designed largely for Olympiaarea residents interested in college work but
not currently seeking a baccalaureate
degree. Both categories are generally
limited to II quarter credit hours (parttime) of study.
Special Students receive credit and
narrative evaluation. They may subsequently apply for admission to degreeseeking status as described under the admission procedure section, after which all
previous work will be credited toward the
degree.
Auditors receive neither credit or
narrative evaluation and no credit can be
advanced toward a degree if they later
apply for admission to the college.
Summer Quarter
Summer Quarter enrollment does not
require completion of the formal admission
procedure. It is handled directly through
the Registrar's Office.
Admission Notification and
Enrollment Deposit
Notification of the admission decision will
be made after a review of the completed
application.
Upon notice of eligibility, the applicant should send a tuition advance deposit
of $50, which is automatically applied to
first quarter tuition. Payment will reserve
enrollment on a first-come, first-served
basis.
No deposit is required of Special
Students and Auditors.
This tuition deposit is regulated by the
tuition refund schedule and a student who
does not enroll may forfeit this amount.

Registration
New and Continuing Student Enrollment
Process
If you are a continuing student, you should
consult the registration information mailed
out each quarter.
Upon being admitted as a new
student, you should select a check-in date
and come to campus for an individual
meeting with a check-in advisor to discuss
your personal interests and concerns;
evaluate your basic study skills; receive
your registration forms; and be assigned a
faculty advisor.
As a new, full-time student, you automatically will be assigned a faculty advisor,
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. All are filled on
a first-come basis, so registering early
increases your chances of getting into the
program of your choice.
You will be able to designate 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
date, 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.
As a continuing student, you should
select your academic programs for the
following year with the aid of an advisor
during advance registration, conducted in
mid-May. Dates for advance registration
are specified in the College Calendar on
page 96.
Academic Credit
General Policies
You will accumulate academic credit for
work well done and levels of performance
reached and surpassed. Only if you fulfill
academic obligations will full credit be
entered on the permanent academic record.
Otherwise, there will be no entry or the
recording of credit to represent what was
partially accomplished. Credit is expressed
in quarter credit hours.
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.
Evergreen will not accept credit twice
for the same course work.
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.
Throughout the year, mailings with
important information need to reach you,
therefore, students are required 10 keep
current addresses-even
those of short
duration-on
file with the Registrar's
Office throughout their tenure at the
college.
To Drop or Change a Program
If you want to drop or change a program,
pick up a Change of Registration Form
from the Registrar's Office. At that time,
you also should check to see if faculty signatures are required for the particular
programs involved.
Withdrawal and Exit Interview
You may Withdraw at any time, but an
Exit Interview at the Registrar's Office is
required (telling a faculty member is not
sufficient). See the Financial Information
section for the tuition and fee refund
schedule.
Leaves of Absence
If you have been regularly admitted and
need to "stop out" for a while, you are
eligible to apply for a leave of absence of
no longer than one year. Application for
leave is initiated in the Registrar's Office. If
you are nOI enrolled in a program/ contract
by the 'enrollment deadline, you are
considered to be on leave (up to one year
for undergraduates and one quarter for
graduate students).
Full-time and Part-time Status
Evergreen counts you as a full-time student
if you are: (I) an undergraduate enrolled
for 12 or more quarter credit hours, or (2)
a graduate student enrolled for 9 or more
quarter credit hours. If you enroll for less,
you are considered a part-time student.
Maximum full-time enrollment is 16
quarter credit hours (18 for those in the
Teacher Certification Program and 12 for
graduate students). These maximums
include any transfer credit earned during
the same period through simultaneous
enrollment at another school.
Veterans
If you are a veteran, be advised that VA
standards for full-time training are different
from those of the college. Specifically, the
"seat time" rule requires a minimum
amount of time in classroom situations.
Check with the Office of Veterans Affairs
to assure that your program, internship, or
learning contract meets those standards.
Acceleration
You may accelerate your education only by
enrolling for a fourth quarter of study each
calendar year (i.e. Summer Quarter).
Any increase in the number of quarter
credit hours for which you are registered
must be submitted to the Registrar no later
than the fifth class day of any quarter.
Partial Credit Options and Withdrawals
Evergreen's credit system distinguishes
between quantity and quality. The quantity
of academic work performed is recognized
by an award of credit based on satisfactory
completion of the program, contract, or
course requirements. The quality of your
work is expressed in a written evaluation.
Some programs will make provisions
for partial credit; others will not. That
determination rests with the faculty of each
particular program or contract. Program
faculty announce that policy at the outset
of the quarter. If exceptions are to be made,
they are at the determination of the faculty.
Evaluation
You will work individually with the faculty
member who leads your seminar in order
to evaluate your work. At the end of each
quarter, the faculty member writes a narrative evaluation. a one-to-two-page description which details the exact nature of your
work. its quality. and your progress during
the quarter. This written evaluation takes
the place of a letter grade. For a full
description of this unique educational
process. please turn to page 12.
Record Keeping
Transcript and Portfolio
The transcript and portfolio are the two
primary records of your work at Evergreen.
The transcript. maintained by the
Registrar's Office. is a record of academic
achievement which includes all work done
for credit. the official description of the
program or contract. faculty evaluations.
and your own evaluations of achievements.
Once the evaluation is accepted in the
Registrar's Office. a copy is sent to you.
The entire bod)' of information is mailed
when a transcript is requested, although
graduate students who also attended
Evergreen as undergraduates may request
transcripts of only their graduate work.
Transcript processing requires time; please
allow two weeks between receipt of your
request (and $5 fee) and mailing of the
transcript.
Credit and evaluations are reported

Transcripts of students who do not register
Cor the term for which they applied will be
held two years before being discarded.
If you require transcripts of work
done at other schools. those transcripts
must be secured directly from the schools.
not from copies in our files.
Academic Standing
Because the college follows a narrative
evaluation system. your 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 their 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 two-thirds 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 preregistered 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 warnings.
Such warning will urge the student to seek
academic advice or personal counseling
from a member oC the faculty or from the
appropriate officers 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 o(Absence-A
student
on academic warning who receives either
an incomplete or fewer than two-thirds oC
the registered credits is required to take a
leave of absence. normally Cor one Cullyear.
A waiver of the 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 Curther required leave.
Failure to earn more than two-thirds credit
at the next evaluation period will result in
academic dismissal from the college.
Graduation Requirements
The minimum requirements for awarding
either the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or the
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) is 180 quarter
credit hours. Continuation beyond 200
quarter credit hours without graduating
requires presentation of an educational
plan to the academic dean Cor approval.
ICyou transfer from another college.
you must earn at least 45 of the last 90
quarter credit hours as an enrolled student
at Evergreen to be eligible for an Evergreen
degree. External credit or ClEP tests do
not satisfy the 45 quarter hour credit
requirement.
If you have a baccalaureate degree
from a regionally accredited institution
(including Evergreen), and wish to earn a
second baccalaureate degree, you normally
must earn at least 45 additional quarter
credit hours as an enrolled Evergreen
student.
An application and exit interview are
necessary for graduation. Contact the
Registrar's Office at least one quarter in
advance of the anticipated graduation date.
The B.S. degree requirement also
includes 72 quarter credit hours in

Fees and Charges
Tuition and Fees
Fee calculations are based on four student
status indicators: undergraduate or
graduate enrollment, state residency,
quarter credit hours, and Vietnam veteran.
These indicators are established, and may
be adjusted only by the Registrar.
If you are a full-time resident undergraduate student, tuition and fees are $314
per quarter, and $1,070 if you are a fulltime nonresident student. Of these
amounts, $60 are allotted as Services and
Activities fees. If you are a part-time
student, tuition and fees are $32 per quarter
credit hour, up to a maximum of $314
(resident), and $107 per quarter credit
hour, up to a maximum of $1,070
(nonresident).
If you are a full-time graduate student,
tuition and fees are $364 per quarter
(resident) and $1272 (nonresident). For
part-time graduate students, the charges
per quarter credit hour are $36 for residents
($364 maximum) and $127 for nonresidents
($1272 maximum).
These are projected tuition and fees
for the 1983-84 academic year, and subject
to change.
Residency Status for Tuition and Fees
To be considered a resident, you must be
domiciled in the State of Washington for at
least one year (prior to the first day of the
quarter) for other than educational
purposes, and either:
(A) financially independent, or,
(B) if financially dependent, have a parent
who has been domiciled in the State of
Washington for at least one year (prior
to the first day of the quarter) for
other than educational purposes.
All others are classified as nonresident for
tuition and fees purposes.
Applications to change residency
status are available at the Registrar's Office
and must be made in advance of the first
day of the quarter you feel the requirement
has been met. (Allow at least 10 days for
processing of your application.)
Billing and Payment Procedures
The Student Accounts system assembles all
student financial information, both charges
and credits, and prepares a periodic
statement of account. This makes it
possible for you, as a registered student, to
submit a single check for tuition and fees,
housing, and other charges by mail or night
depository. The Cashier's Office is open
from 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday
through Friday.
Tuition and fees are billed by mail on
a quarterly basis if you are "advance
registered". The first class day is the
payment deadline if you are "advance
registered." If you register during the
"regular registration" period, you must pay
your tuition fees by the fifth class day.
Failure to pay tuition and fees by the
established due date will result in disenrollment. You have an option to pay at
least one-half of your tuition and fee charge
by the assigned due date, and the balance
in full by the thirtieth calendar day. Costs
for this service will be a $15 late payment
fee. Any student being re-enrolled after
disenrollment will be charged a $50 reinstatement fee if re-enrollment occurs after
the tenth class day.
The college is anticipating the
establishment of a $15 quarterly health fee
prior to the fall of 1983.

Seven Easy Steps to Picking Your Program
22
1. Decide what you want to study.
Consider your career goals, if you
already have them. Consider also anything else that interests you and is
important to you. It is true that you'll
take only one program at a time at
Evergreen, but those programs cover
many different subjects. So, give
yourself the chance to learn broadly.
2. Read the catalog to find the appropriate program for you.
-If you are afreshman, choose one of
the Core Programs described on
pages 24 to 28.
-If you are a transfer student, look up
the subjects that interest you in the
Academic Subject Index, beginning
on page 94. This lists all the programs
which cover your subjects. Don't
ignore Core Programs-they
may be
perfect for you. If a Specialty Area is
listed under your subject, read over all
the offerings in that area.
-Examine
the planned equivalencies at
the end of each program
description.
-Browse over a number of possibilities
before you settle on one. Try to
choose at least three viable alternates
before you take the next step.
3. Discuss your choices and your goals
with your assigned faculty advisor,
and with the people in the Academic
Advising Office. The Advising Office
keeps program descriptions that have
been expanded and updated from
what you read in this catalog. Often,
programs which appear only vaguely
appropriate in the catalog reveal themselves as exactly appropriate and
personally exciting when you read the
latest details. Your advisor and the
Advising Office can give you additional program leads that you might
pass over on your own.
4. Attend the Academic Fair, which is
described on page 12. The faculty will
be assembled there. all in one place at
one time, sitting at tables marked with
their program titles. You can discuss
program content and style directly
with the program faculty. and pick up
a syllabus.
-Ask all questions, share your
puzzlements and enthusiasms. Don't
hesitate to ask for advice. If a
program isn't right for you, faculty
will direct you to other options.
5. Choose your program. In all these
discussions-with
your advisor. with
the Academic Advising Office, with
prospective faculty-keep
your goals
in mind and, also, the range of your
interests and needs. Your selection for
this one quarter should fit into your
overall plans, and it should also lead
you to something. On the other hand,
you do have time, you do have a wide
range of interests, and you probably
do not have to do some one thing
immediately.
-Ask for whatever help you need in
making your choice; if you don't find
the help you need in one place, ask
for it somewhere else.
- You'll know you've chosen wisely
when enthusiasm strikes you and you
begin to fantasize excitedly about the
work ahead.
6. Register.
7. Pay your tuition. And that's it! You're
now ready to attend your seminar.

means learning how to write easily and well
in various modes. how to read carefully.
analyze arguments, work cooperatively in
small project or discussion groups, and
how to use the many resources in the
library.
Another purpose of Core Programs is
to introduce you to the central mode of
study at Evergreen, Coordinated Studies, in
which faculty members from different
disciplines use their knowledge to build a
program around a central theme or issue.
Core Programs also aim to help you
connect your studies with your own
intellectual and personal concerns, and to
make responsible decisions about your
education.
Each of the Core Programs listed in
this section is an integrated unit that
combines a number of different activities
(seminars, individual conferences. lectures,
laboratories-whatever
is appropriate) to
help you learn about the program theme or
topic, and at the same time develop the
skills necessary for successful college work,
learn about Evergreen's potential in people
and facilities, and better define your own
educational goals.

This program concerns men and women,
and their society, Its theme is education:
political. aesthetic, and personal. We will
read literature and history. and study the
artistic creations of Ancient Greece.
Renaissance
Europe. and the Western
World. 1914-1939.
Fall Quarter, we focus on political and
'social values, using documents
from
ancient Greece. We begin with Homer.
Hesiod and Sappho, then move to the
great playwrights
Aeschylus. Sophocles.
and Euripides, and to selections from
Herodotus,
Thucydides,
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 move to the 15th
and 16th centuries to continue the study of
political and social values, as well as
religion and the arts-Dante,
Petrarch, and
Boccaccio; Machiavelli.
Castiglione.
More,
Erasmus; Calvin and Luther; Montaigne
and Shakespeare;
such painters as Giotto.
Botticelli, da Vinci. Raphael,
Michelangelo.
Durer, Holbein, Titian, and Tintoretto:
and
such architects as Alberti and Brunelleschi.
Spring Quarter we investigate early
20th century themes such as the impact of
industrialization
and urbanization
and the
role of education
in modern society.
Sigmund Freud, Thomas
Mann. Ezra
Pound, Virginia Woolf. Willa Cather,
Marcel Proust. William Faulkner,
H.L.
Mencken, Andre Gide, Bertolt Brecht. TS.
Eliot. Richard Wright. and Henry Miller.
In the arts we'll look at fauvists, expressionists, cubists, and surrealists,
as well as
major proponents
of modern architecture
and sculpture.
The weekly schedule for the program
includes one lecture, one visual presentation, two seminars, one expository
writing
session, and an open faculty seminar. The
faculty will offer workshops
to teach
students to do close reading, to interpret
works of art and, especially. to write well.
We shall explore key dimensions
of the
American past-science.
literature. art. law.
religion. education.
urbanization.
political
economy.
race relations-in
an effort to see
how such factors have shaped our society.
Our focus is on the future. but our method
is to render it understandable
by grasping
the enduring legacy of the past and
integrating
that legacy with a comprehensive assessment
of today's conditions.
From the earliest English settlements.
ideas and institutions

in constant
interchange
with England and with the
special circumstances
of the American
environment-including
the contrasting
cultures of Native Americans.
imported
Africans. other European
immigrants.
and
the Caribbean
peoples. With further
immigration
and industrialization,
a
distinctive society developed.
Democratic
aspirations
were pitted against a social
reality of inequality and tensions between
races, classes, sexes, ethnic and religious
groups. and regions. A rough balance
resulted, held together by economic
achievement,
a powerful ideology, and an
elaborate system of law. These and other
historical factors must be sorted out before
we can develop a sense of our alternative
futures.
The program will emphasize
development of such skills as logical analysis and
critical evaluation.
expository
writing. and
oral argument.
It will lead toward group
research projects connecting
our past to
possible futures. Special attention
will be
paid to the contrasting
cultures and world
views relevant to the American experience.
in order to gain the deepest insight into our
possible joint futures. Students should
emerge with a clearer sense of who they I we
are, and where we are going.

provide a support system which will
encourage each student to explore a large
range of academic skills. The introductory
process includes letting students re-establish
their own abilities. as well as surveying
recent developments in literature, social
sciences. sciences. and art. Development of
verbal and analytical skills will be
emphasized throughout the program. The
first quarter's focus will be on women poets

This program will work on analyzing,
criticizing, and inventing rational
arguments. We'll consider, as a frame for
our work, the limits of rationality and its
relations to either modes of thinking. The
program should help students in science,
the social sciences, or the humanities who
want to learn to think, talk, and write more
effectively about logical arguments,
whether in scientific articles or newspaper
editorials. About half the program is
discussion and steady practice of critical
methods in informal logic, problem solving,
and writing, emphasizing cooperative work
in groups as well as solitary toil. The other
half of the program applies these methods
of reading, discussing, and writing to
contemporary issues like the nuclear arms
race and the debate between evolutionists
and creationists.
Any kind of serious academic work
requires the ability to think clearly and
analyze an argument critically. This
program is designed to help beginning
students in the social sciences and
humanities develop the necessary skills to
do this. During the first quarter, we work
on ways to structure an argument with the
techniques of logic, debate, statistics, and
writing. The excitement of creating and
defending your own thesis comes in the
second quarter as a result of individual
research.
During both quarters there will be
weekly book seminars in which we discuss
and analyze items from some of the great
books of western culture. Among the texts
we'll use: Plato, Euthyphro, Apology,
Meno; Machiavelli, The Prince; Hobbes,
Leviathan; Rousseau, The Social Contract;
Malthus, An Essay on Population;
Descartes, Discourse On Method;
Freud, Civilization and lIS Discontents;

The 1984 Project
In 1948 George Orwell published his
famous prophetic novel/984, projecting a
future filled with perpetual war, social and
economic collapse. technological surveillance, psychological manipulation, and
language Stripped of meaning and realityin short. totalitarianism in its worst forms.
/984 enjoyed an iQJmense popularity, and
both its title, a!'la,:i~central vision have
entered t
logy. The wotld
has waited,
ss and dread, as
the year 1984 draws nearer. questioning
whether the nightmares Orwell described,
and the complementary terrors of Aldous
Huxley's Brave New World, could actually
become reality.
Now. 1984 is upon us.
In the 1983-84 academic year.
Evergreen will examine our present and
our probable future, comparing our actual
prospects with the worlds imagined by
Orwell, by Huxley. and by the Russian
writer who inspired both of them, Evgeny
Zamiatin. To what degree have their
prophecies been fulfilled? Have we
successfully avoided some of those terrors?
What can we do to insure that we avoid
them in our future? Are there major
dangers they did not foresee?
In addition to an advanced interdisciplinary program concerned directly with
tbe themes of these three writers-the
program «1984" described on the. facing

The major purpose of the 1984 Project
is to build community. both within the
college and in the larger society in which
Evergreen is embedded. Through this
community we seek to counterbalance the
isolation. fear, and powerlessness-the
totalitarianisms-which
are described by
these three prop
.
iters, and which
characterize the d
our world.

Technology and,language as means of
social control will be a constant theme
throughout the year. Three books-all
classic explorations of this theme-s-will be
central to this project. We plan to read one
each quarter. and we invite the entire
college to join us in that reading and
subsequent seminars.
Fall Quarter's book. Evgeny Zarniatin's
1#. explores themes about the compatibility of freedom and happiness; the line
between private and public life; the nature
of community, technology. and social
planning; and the separation of the country
and the city. Winter Quarter, Orwell's /984
continues many of these themes and adds
questions about the corruption of language
and thought, the control of history. and the
role of war and military production in
social control. In the spring. Huxley's
Brave fV~)¥·World turns our attention to
sf'flttificatmn., dru~and

amounts of reading. writing. and research.
More importantly. we will expect to share
our work and understandings, Students
will have a chance to learn skills in

program stresses the importance of
technologies. students will have a chance to
develop skills in media and computer

early writing. It offers a fresh appreciation
of our sense of history (Heizer, Man's
Discovery of His Past; Cerarn, Hands on
the Past), and of the growth of modern
archaeology (Hole and Heizer, Introduction to Prehistoric Archaeology;
Wilson, The New Archaeology; Renfrew,

knowledge to enlarge upon our understanding of the roots of western civilization
(Gelb, A Study of Writing; Budge, The
Gods of the Egyptians; Kitto, The Greeks;
Embree, The Hindu Tradition; Hitti, Islam
and the West) and hopefully, will bring us

The thesis of "Science and Social Change"
is that the values and assumptions of 20th
century science cannot be understood in
isolation from the values and assumptions
of other modern institutions-social,
economic, and political, as well as scientific
and technological; furthermore, that the
relationships among these institutions can
best be analyzed by a historical study of the
period when they began to assume their
modern form. Thus, we focus on the
history of Western Europe in the 17th and
19th centuries. We'll study the major social
changes of this period and how they relate
to science. We'll discuss and write about
historical studies, modern analyses of the
nature of science and its connection to
social change, and writings by both
scientists and non-scientists of the period
under discussion.

"Introduction to Environmental Studies" is
a one-quarter survey of the major concepts
underlying our understanding of natural
environments and human communities,
and the ways they interrelate and shape
each other. It is an introduction to many
topics relating to the environment that
students can pursue further in this and
other Specialty Areas.
Particular emphasis will be placed on
biology (ecology, evolution, the nature and
functioning of organisms); human ecology
and geography (structure of human populations and communities, their relationship to
social, physical, and human environments);
and environmental science (the impacts of
human technologies on natural and human
environments, and how those impacts are
measured and regulated).
The importance of design and the role
of planning will be introduced.
Class sessions will include lectures,
workshops, and seminars. Seminars will be
devoted to historical and political aspects
of environmental studies. There will be one
or more field trips designed to illustrate the
principles being presented in class, but no
extensive laboratory, field, or project work.

"Earth Environments" combines principles
of geology and ecology. The program will
appeal to those with career interests in the
natural and environmental sciences. and to
those who may not have set career goals
but who are interested in a rigorous look at
the scientific laws which make our world
function.
Students will be expected to develop
observational skills and research techniques. and understand scientific principles
and concepts. Program activities will
include lectures, laboratories, general
reading seminars, and text discussion
groups. There will be a significant field

"Ecological Agriculture" considers options
for viable, small-scale agriculture in the
industrialized nations and the developing
world.
To provide background, seminar
readings range broadly over agricultural
history and economics, analyses of the
world food situation, and the growing
literature on alternative agriculture and
appropriate technology.
Students can expect technical work in
soil science, entomology, land-use planning
and agricultural preservation, plant science,
the ecology of agricultural systems, the
theory and techniques of organic agriculture, and the use of computers in farm
management and marketing. There will
also be opportunities for individual and
group research projects.
We will emphasize the development of
practical skills. Students will help run the
market garden on Evergreen's Organic
Farm, and will take extensive field trips.
The program leads to advanced work
in ecological agricultural research, market
garden management, and a variety of
internships in urban agriculture, marketing,
community service, and small-scale
agriculture.
This program will examine the social and
physical issues of contemporary design
problems. Our goal is to develop an understanding of the connections between
cultural patterns, the physical and social
structures of human society, and the
natural environment.
We will analyze the ways in which
humans interact with the environment, and
the ways the environment can contribute to
human well-being. We will pay particular
attention to limits in design, to balance,
proportion, and harmony. And, we will
take some of the skills we have developed
and apply them to a series of specific
design issues in local communities.
Topics studied will include design
theory, architectural drawing, graphic
presentation, community structure, and
environmental systems. The program
format will include lectures, guest speakers,
seminars, studio instruction, field trips,
films, and research problems focusing on
practical community issues. Winter
Quarter, we'll deal primarily with
theoretical analysis, and the contexts of
design problems; Spring Quarter we'll focus
on the formulation and the evaluation of
problem solutions.

Control and use of the seas has been
essential to the economic vitality of all
great nations. In recent years, the upsurge
in international trade, ocean mining, fish
farming, offshore drilling, and the
increasingly multi-national nature of
American industry has focused more
attention on the use and misuse of the seas.
Organized growth, development, and
management of marine resources in a

historical and political trends, artistic and
literary documents, social patterns.
symbols, religious beliefs and ideological
convictions that comprise the way we now
think and that 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 AngloAmerican? 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 art,
history, social and economic history.
cultural history, aesthetics and literary
theory, and Third World Studies. among
others. But the methods and concepts of
these disciplines will always be applied to
basic human questions, not learned as
isolated specialties.
Students in European and American
Studies may expect to develop: an
historical sense, a more developed
command of the language, advanced and
refined writing skills (expository and
creative), the comprehension
and
evaluation of ideas, symbolic analysis and
interpretation,
increased cultural awareness,
and the ability to read texts, documents,
and artifacts closely and critically.

This program will explore the interaction
between the socioeconomic forces that
shape people's work and leisure, and the
kinds of tensions or concerns that appear
in their art, literature, and philosophy. The
premise of the faculty is that the
circumstances in which men and women
live pose the questions with which they
must grapple, though these circumstances
do not, of course, determine the answers.
We will study literature, art,
architecture, and/ or philosophy in three
historical periods to see how these works
help us understand how people lived, and
how the way people lived can help us
understand the works under consideration.
For example, Fall Quarter we examine
the social dynamics of early medieval
Europe and place such phenomena as
Gothic architecture and courtly love in the
context of those dynamics. Winter Quarter
we discuss the relationship of works by
Winstanley, Hobbes, Milton, and others to
the contradictions and tensions of 17th
century English capitalism. Spring Quarter
we study the issues posed for artists and
philosophers by the Industrial Revolution.

This is a seminar in the writing. analysis.
crafting. criticism. writing and rewriting of
poetry.
Poetry is the product of a process;
however. the process of writing poetry is
very unlike the eventual product. All poetry
is made from words. Painters spill the
colors of the rainbow onto a palette and
mix the world into a thousand shades.
Poets write with black type on white paper.
Architects meld buildings into suitable
landscapes and throw them both against
the sky. Poets write flat words on flatter
paper to be bound into books. Actors act
in the roar of anger, the whisper of secrecy.
the bustle of indecision. Poets use words
like roar, anger, whisper, secrecy, bustle.
indecision. Sculptors heat bronze to liquid
and strike the hardest stone with harder
chisels. Poets heat feeling into words and
bring it to shape with blows of the mind.
The purpose of this seminar is to
discover and practice the rules. to use the
mind to control the emotions, to use the
mind to control the poem. Even though the
subject matter of poetry includes the total
range of human feelings. all the colors and
sounds the senses can register, the
commonest and most astounding
thoughts-the
medium is still words. the

* Visiting Faculty, /982-83
Traditionally, young people who wished to
become artists apprenticed themselves to a
master artist. They watched the master at
work, performed their own beginning
tasks. then assisted the master with the
creation of major pieces. As they gained
skill. they began to produce their own work
under the close guidance of the master.
There were no art schools or conservatories. Actors joined theater companies,
painters entered a studio, potters worked at
the kiln, metal workers at the foundry.
In many parts of the world, this is the
normal method still. At most of the great
schools of music and painting, practicing
artists join as artists-in-residence, holding
master classes and taking on a few select
students as apprentices. Few colleges and
universities organize their arts departments
in this way.
In 1983-84, many of the faculty in
Expressive Ans will engage in an exciting
experiment-"Evergreen
Artists-inResidence." These artists will undertake a
variety of creative projects in painting,
sculpture, musical and dramatic theater,
video, film, voice, audio recording, script
writing, and dance. They invite you to
work with them on these projects as
apprentice/ collaborators.
You will have the rare opportunity to
experience the development of large creative projects, some more ambitious than
you could choose to undertake on your
own; or to join an artist in an extensive
project of creative research. Whatever art
project you join, in whatever medium, will
enable you to observe and participate in
every step of that project. and, in doing so,
learn the skills and concepts of that
medium.
You will undertake your own project
with the close guidance of your faculty, and
you'll be encouraged to collaborate with
students and faculty from other arts areas.
Thus, you will become a member of a
working community of artists, artists who
share their work, discuss it. argue over it.
and receive inspiration from one another.
The major vehicle for this community will
be the Expressive Arrs Symposium, an allarts weekly sharing of student and faculty
work with the entire Specialty Area that
will generate a continuing discussion of
current arts issues. As Evergreen's artists
maintain ties with arts communities in
Seattle. the Pacific Northwest. and the
nation, the Symposium will employ these
ties to introduce you to the vital work of
our times.
"E vergreen Artists-i n- Residence"
hopes to spread its work into the entire
college community, the Olympia community as a whole, and to Seattle as well. To
accomplish this, the program will incorporate exhibition design and gallery
management wherever appropriate.
In addition, Expressive Arts will offer
a variety of basic-level courses to develop
skills in drawing, sculpture, ceramics. printmaking, music, dance, video. costume
design, and theater crafts. Several Art
History and Art Interpretation programs
also will be offered.

As a student in Health and Human
Development, you will have opportunities
to study human beings holistically from a
variety of perspectives.
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. The 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.
In the 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 for both acquiring more
in-depth knowledge of subject matter and
for developing skills in critical analysis,
written expression, and research.
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.

In "Human Health and Behavior" we will
investigate the biological, psychological,
and social forces that affect human
behavior. Drawing particularly from
human biology, sociology, and developmental psychology, we will look at
physiological development. the role of
culture in differentiating human behavior,
and the psychological processes that guide
human behavior. We will attempt to see
human life as the outcome of the
interaction of these forces.
Students will acquire a foundation in
human physiology and anatomy, sociological forces influencing health and healthrelated institutions, psychosocial and
cognitive development, and environmental
effects on human behavior. Through
lectures, workshops, and seminars, students
will be encouraged to develop analytical
skills in reading, discussion, writing, and
research.
In addition to program reading
material, students will be expected to read
and conduct original research on socialand health-related topics. Special attention
will be given to the study of research
methodology, and students will be carefully
guided in conducting their own research.
We will emphasize ethical issues
implicit in the program material and
students will be expected to investigate and
discuss these issues thoroughly.
Planned equivalencies in quarter hours:
Distributed among anatomy, physiology,
sociology, developmental psychology and
personality theory.

This program will investigate issues of
individual and community health,
particularly as related to food policy,
nutritional choices, and economic
constraints. We will integrate ideas from
nutrition and human biology, human
services, anthropology, economics, and
political economy. The program is intended
for advanced science and social science
students; professionals in government,
social services, education, and the private
sector; a nd concerned citizens.
Students, from many disciplines, and
community members will work together,
teaching and learning from each other. We
hope to develop a common language in
which to discuss health-related issues,
analyze problems, collect data, propose
solutions, and initiate projects.
Each week an evening lecture and
discussion will focus on some pertinent
issues, featuring occasional guest speakers.
Fall Quarter seminars, meeting day and! or
evening, will discuss nutrition, cultural food
preferences, and policy issues, for example
the implications of the "1980 Report on the
Food Systems in Oregon: Recommendations for a State Food Policy." Winter
and Spring Quarters will concentrate on
small group research projects, the results to
be presented to the class as a whole. These
projects will require developed disciplinary
skills, and collaboration with particular
community action projects and local
communities. Project subjects might range
from maternal! infant nutrition needs to
nutrition in state institutions, always
emphasizing policy constraints and
potential health and behavioral impacts.

This advanced Group Contract is designed
to prepare students for paraprofessional
careers in a variety of human service areas,
and for graduate work in psychological
counseling. psychiatric social work, or
clinical psychology.
The program will have three components: practical, academic, and personal.

readings, lectures. seminars, and workshops
on theories and methods of psychological
counseling. We shall concentrate on the
psychoanalytic and gestalt approaches of
Freud, Erikson, Angyal, and Kaiser.
The personal component consists of
experiential dream seminars in which the
students seek to develop the therapeutic
potentials of their individual personalities
by way of exploring each other's
contemporary life conflicts and patterns of
resolving those conflicts.

and outdoor recreation in the United
States. We will look at resources available
and the role of state and federal
governments and private enterprise in their
management. We will focus on public land
management probing how economic and
social pressures will impact outdoor
recreation in the next two decades. Will
exploitation of timber and minerals
continue to compete with the recreational
use of public lands') What trends will
determine recreational land use in the

Our subject is the development of
personality through the life-cycle. with
emphasis on the possibilities and patterns
of change in the course of development
from adolescence through old age. What
types and magnitudes of individual
development are expected, and what
further kinds of individual change are
possible. as one matures within agiven set
of biological, psychological. and cultural
constraints')
By examining psychological and
literary source materials, we will explore
patterns and symbols of change. focusing
finally on patterns of initiation and rites of
passage in contemporary America.
Psychological sources will include the
earlier attempts of Jung and Erickson and
the recent efforts of Levinson to formulate
an adult developmental psychology.
Literary materials will be drawn from
many sources. ancient and modern, to
illustrate the problematic rites of passage
from adolescence through adulthood. The
psychological sources tend to emphasize
normal, natural, or non-pathological
changes which seem typical of the different
stages of the life-cycle. while the literary
sources tend to highlight and write large
the most problematic aspects of change.
This is an advanced program requiring
of every student a solid academic
background in either psychology or
literature. It must not be mistaken for a
how-to-do-it course on coping with one's
own current developmental problems, for it
aims at knowledge and understanding of all
phases of adult development. The main
activities will be book seminars and writing
workshops. with independent study
projects presented to the group as a
conclusion of the program.

Upper-division work in the Specialty Area
consists of a Coordinated Study program
titled "Management and the Public
Interest" for the first year and a changing
series of advanced Group Contracts,
Individual Contracts, and internships for
the second year. The first year of the M PI
program provides students with the
opportunity to acquire essential managerial
skills and concepts. The program will
address broader issues such as the ability of
the private and/ or public sector to meet the
public's needs. This program is designed
for part-time students from off-campus
as well as full-time students.

The "Management
and the Public Interest"
program teaches essential management
concepts and skills to upper-division
students. The program focuses on the business
sector. but also gives attention to the public
and not-for-profit
sectors. Values. ethics.
and the public interest arc addressed
throughout the year.
The program is designed for both fulltime and part-time students. Late afternoon
and evening components are provided for
part-time. working students. The program
aims to meet the needs of those interested
in job advancement.
those in pursuit of a
management career. and those who want to
sharpen their management.
analytical. and
writing skills.
Critics of the American business system charge that 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
requires 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 our business system is
outdated: neither business nor the public
interest will be served much longer by our
present set of institutional arrangements.
One purpose of this program is to come to
grips with the issues raised in these debates.
The core of the M PI program in the
first year consists of organizational
psychology. policy. managerial accounting.
managerial finance. and managerial economics. and the functions of management.
Prerequisites for the program include the
principles of accounting. microeconomics.
The prerequisites can be met through

and (2) non-Native students interested in
traditional Native American cultures and
values, anthropology, ethnohistory, and the
dynamics of cultural change.
"We have a rich Native American

This student-centered
program is designed
to provide an open educational
opportunity
based on the integration of
learning as a measure of understanding
and
synthesizing the vitality and importance of
one's environment.
The philosophical
base of the program

using his or her own resources first. and the
program provides a learning environment
of sufficient comfort in which the learner
can move to the outer limits of their
knowledge. towards the unknown. The
program intent is to help the student
idcntify different educational resources.
apply different approaches, and visualize
different educational outcomes.
The objectives of the program include:
/. Participation
by open invitation to
provide students with the maximum
challenge in educational direction through
presentations
by faculty from different
disciplines. different fields of practice. and
different cultural backgrounds.
2. The integration of this participation
with four campus-wide forums. which will
be designed to draw on the interests and
talents of the college community to
promote an understanding
of the
educational process that will transcend the
boundaries of known disciplines and forge
the development of new disciplines
designed in an educational partnership of
student. community, and college.
3. The participation and design of
inter-community
studies in "weekend
college" activities that provide
environmental
community settings for the
development of educational decisionmaking skills.
4. Close communication
between
student and faculty in the development of
scholarly independent study, based on the
total resource of a developing educational
partnership and aimed at creating an
ultimate positive role and position for the
student in the community. The goal is to
define quality education which will

Social, cultural, economic, and political
phenomena are aspects of an organic
whole. Political Economy examines 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 relations
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 bodies of
knowledge. In this Specialty 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, philosophy, sociology. anthropology, literature, and law.
Students in their first year of college
are strongly urged to take one of the Core
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.
The Political Economy Specialty Area
offers unique opportunities for students to
do advanced work in internships. Students
work regularly with the state legislature,
lobbying groups, and administrative
agencies as a part of their work in Political
Economy.

"Introduction
to Political Economy" is
designed to provide students with the
historical and analytical framework for
understanding
the development of the
market system and the contemporary
political economy, In order to accomplish
this task, the program utilizes the
disciplines of economics, history, and
political science, These disciplines will be
integrated in order to explain the two
major theoretical approaches describing the
political economy,
The explanation
of the neoclassical
market model will include development of
the ideological underpinnings
of the model
as well as a thorough treatment of the
mechanics of the market system, To
accomplish this task, a substantial text such
as Samuelson's
Principles of Economics
will be utilized.
The Marxist model will be investigated, both as a critique of capitalism .and
as a predictive model of economic growth
and development.
Primary readings from
Marx will be included for seminar
discussions.
Program seminars and lectures will
introduce important issues of analysis and
argument in the social sciences. Students
should expect to gain insight into the
history of capitalism and its contemporary
challenges,

Through a careful study of the changing
social structure, the legal system, and
economic and political structures and
practices we will attempt to understand the
increasing articulation between state and
economy as America moved through its
formative period. Specifically, we will be
interested in: locating the place of the
colonies in the 17th century mercantile
system; specifying the ideological and
economic shifts underlying the strikingly
different governmental
structures suggested
by the Declaration of Independence,
the
Articles of Confederation,
and the
Constitution;
probing the debates between
Hamilton and Jefferson regarding the
development of the American State;
developing the relationship between the
extension of the franchise in the 1820's
(establishment
of formal democracy) and
the rapid loss of control over the means of
production (loss of substantive democracy);
developing a systematic exposition of the
manner in which these changes were
accommodated,
justified, and rationalized
by the least democratic element of the state,
the judiciary; and investigating the tension
between liberalism and democracy as
illuminated by the above factors.
Simultaneously,
we will be attempting to
develop a theory of the state which
provides the conceptual apparatus for
probing the dynamic relationship among
these factors, and which will advance the
understanding
of our early history,

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 sakes (in
fields such as mathematics, logic, computer
science, and analytic philosophy) and as
tools for the natural sciences. The traditional natural sciences - particularly
physics, chemistry, and biology - fall in
this Specialty Area, but students study
them in a broad cultural framework which
emphasizes the sciences in relationship to
the rest of our civilization. Students
undertake original research in these fields
wherever possible.
Students in their first year of college
are strongly urged to take one of the Core
Programs. Students just beginning in
Scientific Know/edge and Inquiry should
enroll in "Introduction to atural Science"
or "Matter and Motion." depending on
their background. Related offerings from
other Specialty Areas are mentioned at the
end of this section.

This program is designed to develop an
understanding of important concepts of
physics, chemistry, mathematics, and
biology in a historical, philosophical, and
cultural context. The core of the program
will be 12 hours each quarter, and students
are expected to enroll in Math Lab
through the Self-Paced Learning Lab
(SPLU) for an additional 4 quarter hours.
Fall and Winter Quarters focus on
physical, chemical, and mathematical
development. while Spring Quarter the
emphasis shifts to include biological topics.
We start Fall Quarter with the study of
astronomy and mechanics (description of
motion, force, and mass), tracing the ideas
from their beginnings in Greek science,
through the time of Isaac Newton. Later in
the quarter we explore how chemistry
evolved from this emerging understanding
of the physical universe.
Winter Quarter we consider energy,
wave motion, and the atomic view of
matter. Spring Quarter emphasizes biology,
while continuing to develop topics in
g.meral chemistry and introducing organic
chemistry. The option of studying organic
chemistry more intensively will also be
available in the spring.
We combine lectures, problem
sessions, labs, small-group conceptual skills
sessions, and seminars so as to stress the
ways culture and philosophy have affected
the developing sciences. We expect students
to read and write about this interplay of
science and society. We want both
thorough understanding and problemsolving skills. Students will acquire solid
grounding in physics, chemistry, and
biology, and extensively develop their
abilities in mathematics, writing, and
critical reasoning.
Planned equivalencies in quarter hours:
12 - mathematics; 8 - 12 physics;
8 - 12 general chemistry; 8 - 12 development of scientific ideas; 6 - 8 general
biology; 8 - 12 organic chemistry (optional)

This intermediate-level program is designed
for the student who has completed precalculus mathematics, who has some
background in computing and high school
chemistry, and who wants a foundation in
mathematics, chemistry, and physics
suitable for advanced work in the sciences.
Specific topics covered during the year
include differential and integral calculus,
stoichiometry, mechanics, kinetics, electricity and magnetism, atomic and molecular
structure, thermodynamics, inorganic
chemistry and topics in organic chemistry.
The program introduces chemistry
and physics assuming a simultaneous
development of the calculus. Where
possible, the integration of these three
subjects is stressed. For example, during
Fall Quarter, chemical dynamics (chemical
kinetics) and physical dynamics (mechanics) will be covered using both calculus and
computer numerical methods.
Primary texts will be Lange, First
Course in Calculus; Mahan, University
Chemistry; and Eisberg and Lerner,
Physics.
Project-oriented laboratory work in
chemistry and physics will introduce the
student to electronics, analytical and
synthetic techniques in chemistry, instrumentation, and the laboratory use of
computers. It is our view that science is not
an isolated endeavor. Both the history of
science and its social implications will be
examined through readings, lectures, films,
and weekly seminars.
The weekly schedule consists of
lectures, problem and recitation sessions,
seminars, and laboratory work. In the
problem/ recitation sessions the laboratory
students will be able to test and improve
their understanding of the ideas and techniques being studied.
"Matter and Motion" is a more
advanced program than "Introduction to
Natural Science." Its content is comparable
to typical major courses at this level in
mathematics and the physical sciences.

The energy problem is a complex one. For
a balanced understanding, one must
consider its economic, socio-political, and
technological aspects. This year-long
program will provide the breadth needed to
evaluate the whole problem and will
develop depth of understanding in one of
its 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
Winter Quarter will be to acquire sufficient
depth of understanding to analyze one
aspect of energy in detail, in preparation
for 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.

Computer Science at Evergreen
We encourage students to take at least one
computer course before graduating from
Evergreen. The role of the computer in
today's society and its importance to
citizens has grown substantially in the past
ten years. There is scarcely an area into
which the technology has not been
adapted.
Evergreen recognizes the importance
of computer literacy in today's fast
changing world and has developed a
computer curriculum which reflects the
importance of understanding this technology, and all others, in terms of their
impact on our society.
The four credit class, "I ntrod uction to
Computers and BASIC," is a very popular
way of becoming familiar with computers.
Many specialty areas build computer
literacy into their academic programs. In
various programs ranging from "Management and the Public Interest" to "Ecologi-
cal Agriculture," the benefits of utilizing
computers are recognized.
This section of the catalog spells out
the major programs available in 1983-84
which emphasize computers, and the
course offerings available for part-time
students. You are also encouraged to
discuss internship opportunities in this area
with the Office of Cooperative Education.
Many Evergreen students have found an
applied internship an invaluable capstone
to their work in this area of the curriculum.

of both technical and business subject
matter.
In "The Business of Computers,"
students will research the market for
software, design and construct software
systems and explore the marketing of such
systems. Working in teams, students will
determine business or governmental
needs
for particular kinds of software, and will
lea rn to design such software based on user
requirements.
In parallel with these group projects,
students will participate in seminars

Teacher Certification
In conjunction with the University of Puget
Sound, The Evergreen State College offers
curricula leading to the provisional certificate for teaching at the elementary and
secondary level. In addition, programming
is provided to pursue the fifth year, or
standard certificate and a masters degree in
education.
The undergraduate education program
is designed as a half-time program which
meets in the afternoon (except during the
final quarter when students practice teach
full time). This scheduling allows students
to fill the other half of their program with
work in their subject area specialty.
Teaching at the secondary level
requires the completion of baccalaureate
degree requirements in a major field of
study. Specific requirements for the various
major fields of study are available from the
Admissions Office. It is possible to pursue
the following majors at Evergreen: art,
biology, chemistry, theater, English,
mathematics, natural science, and social
science. It is usually not possible to pursue
secondary majors in music, vocational
education, home economics, and other
more specialized areas of certification.
Students are advised to take the more
general social science major instead of a
major in history, anthropology, sociology,
or psychology as these are frequently not
taught in the public schools.
Admission
Admission to the program in Teacher
Certification is highly competitive.
Minimum requirements include prior
admission to the college, junior class
standing at the time of entering the
program, and a grade-point average (where
ascertainable) of at least 2.50 (C + or
better).
Students intending to pursue a secondary education certificate should be well
along in their major by the time they enter
the Teacher Certification program. In most
cases, these students will be seniors at the
time they enter the program.
The principle criterion for admission
to this program is academic excellence.
Students must fill out a special application
form with the Admissions Office and file
letters of recommendation.
Students wishing to apply for this
program should fulfill all admission
requirements-including
filling out the
special form from the Admissions Officeprior to March 15, 1983. Students who are
selected for admission to the program will
be notified in writing prior to the Academic
Fair and registration process in May. Full
information may be obtained through the
Admissions Office.

Part-time Study at Evergreen
"Abide at the center of your being;
for the more you leave it, the less
you learn."
Lao Tzu
72
Approximately II % of Evergreen's
students are part-time students. They
pursue a degree or take an occasional
course for personal enrichment. It is
possible to study part time at Evergreen in
a variety of different ways. Half-time, eight
quarter-hour programs provide the most
coherent, unified means of pursuing a
degree at Evergreen. Many full-time
programs offer part-time options. Courses,
ranging in credit from two to four quarter
hours, are also available. Students may also
pursue part-time work through individual
contracts and/ or internships. The Office of
Academic Advising is a good place to
begin the search for a suitable part-time
program.
The following tentative listing of
courses and part-time programs represents

Graduate Study at Evergreen

72
Master of Public
Administration
The Master of Public Administration
Program reflects Evergreen's commitment
to integrated, interdisciplinary studies. The
Program provides a rigorous professional
education for students engaged in, or
intending to pursue, careers in government
or in organizations involved with public
issues.
The M PA Program enrolled its first
class in the fall of 1980, and represents the
college's first graduate degree offering. A
second graduate degree program, in energy
and environmental studies, is scheduled to
begin in the fall of 1984.
The M PA Program is open to both
full- and part-time students. Coursework is
available during evening hours for those
who are employed. Most students enrolled
in the program are full-time employees of
state or local governments and are
pursuing their graduate studies on a parttime basis.
A part-time student can complete the
60 quarter hour degree requirement in eight
academic quarters. A full-time student may
complete the requirement in five or six
quarters. Students lacking significant public
sector experience will be expected to
complete an internship for at least one
academic quarter.
M PA s curriculum consists of a
sequence of core programs and a number
of courses focused on particular areas of
concentration. The core programs are
interdisciplinary and collaboratively taught,
and to some degree are organized around
cases or problems in public administration
or public policy. The integrated approach
to instruction is particularly well suited to
graduate study in public administration.
Students enroll in the sequence of core
courses described below.
Core The Political and Economic Context
of Public Administration
(8 quarter hours)
This program describes development
of the state and parallel development of our governmental forms. It
treats the relations between governmental activities and social, political,
and economic values and forces.
Core Quantitative Analysis for the Public
Sector
(8 quarter hours)
This program covers descriptive and
inferential statistics and research
methods particularly suited to the
analysis of social and economic
policy. Applications in forecasting
and evaluation are examined. Instruction is provided in the use of the
computer for policy analyses.
Core Managing Fiscal Resources
(8 quarter hours)
Intermediate level principles of microeconomics, along with their welfare
economics underpinnings, provide
the foundations for this examination
of the management of public resources. Public finance, cost-benefit
analysis, and budgeting techniques
are also studied.
Core Public Policy and Its Administrative
Implications
(8 quarter hours)
The development, implementation,
and evaluation of public policy are
examined. There is some focus on
the individual administrator in order
to explore ethical conflicts or
dilemmas that may face an individual
in that role.
Core Managing Human Resources
(8 quarter hours)
This program covers the broad areas
of organization theory and behavior,
personnel management and human
resources development, and their
application to the public setting.
Elective Concentration
(12 or more quarter hours)
Prior to, or in conjunction with,
work on their Applications project,
students will engage in coursework in
their area of concentration. A
minimum of 12 quarter hours is
required in one's area of concentration; students wishing to pursue
additional advanced work in other
areas are encouraged to do so.
Core Applications in Public Policy or
Administration
(8 quarter hours)
The student will prepare a case or
research report on a practical, public
sector problem, typically related to
his or her area of concentration. The
resulting product may be a program
evaluation, a study of organizational
change, or a description and analysis
of an activity in which the author
played a key role. While the analytic
section of the program is to be written,
substantial latitude is permitted as
to the final form of the work
submitted for the satisfaction of the
Application requirement.
Instruction beyond, or in addition to,
that provided in the Core Sequence is
available in areas of concentration including Public Policy, Human Resources,
and Public Economics.
Address direct inquiries concerning
the program to Admissions Office,
Graduate Program in Public Administration, The Evergreen State College,
Olympia, WA 98505. Early applications for
admissions to the 1983-84 program are due
March I, 1983.
Master of Environmental
Studies
The Master's Program in Environmental
and Energy Studies leading to the degree of
Master of Environmental Studies is
Evergreen's newest graduate offering. This
program will open in September of 1984.
The entering class of 39 students will take
72 quarter hours requiring two years of
full-time study to complete the degree.
Part-time students should be able to
complete their work in three years.
The program will be a synthesis of the
technical aspects and the management
aspects needed to work with current
environmental problems. Graduates will be
able to bridge the gap between those
specialized in either the technical or
management camp. The program is
looking for students who wish to develop
such skills. People with specialized training
or jobs who want to broaden their base are
sought. This program will also appeal to
people coming into this field who see the
logic in a diversified training that prepares
them to fill a broad range of jobs.
Within the program, three tracks will
exist for students. The first track will be
Energy Studies, the second Land and
Wafer Resources, and the third will be a
combination of both. Students will choose
one of the three tracks.
The course of study will consist of
three components: I) core material taught
in a coordinated studies manner for people
in all three tracks, 2) electives, courses that
make up the track chosen by the individual
student, and 3) a project, a piece of original
work designed by the student to answer an
applied environmental or energy question
that will result in a final report or thesis.
75
At this time electives to be offered are:
Natural Resource Economics
Environmenra! Law and Regulation
Urban Growth Managemenr
Energy Systems
Energy Resources
Land Resources
Freshwater and Estuarine Resources.
The core material, taken by all
students will be presented in a sequence of
three eight-hour courses: fall quarter,
ecological processes; winter quarter, populations, energy, and resources; spring
quarter, environmental assessment, and
policy and management.
To help prepare students for project
work. courses in research methodology
have been designed. These will provide skill
development in design of original work as
well as data analysis and collection. The
courses will be specific for the tracks the
students choose. A graduate statistics
course will also be available.
Questions concerning tuition. admissions requirements and procedures. parttime studies, placement of graduates. etc.,
should be directed to Dr. Oscar H. Soule.
Director. Master's Program in Environmental and Energy Studies, The Evergreen
State College. Olympia, WA. 98505.

Special Forms of Study

Internships
What is an internship? An internship
allows a qualified student the opportunity
to gain, with supervision, practical
experience in a professional field. In other
words, it's a chance to take what you have
learned in the classroom and apply it in a
professional setting. With careful planning
and close supervision, an internship is an
excellent opportunity for you to gain
additional knowledge and explore career
options through hands-on work experience
in a specific area.
Internships may be conducted through
enrollment in a Coordinated Study
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 requirements. For those
enrolling in an Individual Contract, an
internship may constitute either a substan-
tial part or a minor part of the contracted
activities. Most internships are conducted
by juniors and seniors.
Internships are conducted in a variety
of field settings and in many geographical
locations. While a majority of internships
are in southwest Washington, many opportunities are available throughout
Washington state, in other states, and even
in 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 at the internship setting are guided and supervised by a
field supervisor who's 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
quarteris planned, arranged, conducted,
and evaluated in terms of one's academic
objectives for that quarter. Internship
arrangements almost always include a
strong academic component (related
readings, report writing, etc.). All
internships at Evergreen are credit
generating. All matters pertaining to each
quarter of an internship arc negotiated and
agreed to before the internship begins.
Agreements are formalized by completing
an internship document which is then
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
Agriculture
Arts management
Business administration
Communication
Community organization
Computer science
Corrections
Counseling
Education
Environmental sciences
Health care services
Health education
Journalism
Marine biology
Marketing
Media production
Medical technology
Natural resources management
Outdoor / environmental education
Performing arts
Political science
Psychology
Public administration
Socia 1services
Visual arts
The internship program is coordinated
by the Office of Cooperative Education.
Arrangements for each internship must be
cleared in advance with, and approved by
[his office. Students interested in conducting internships should contact Cooperative
Education at the earliest possible date to
obtain a copy of the internship request
form and to schedule a conference with a
Co-op counselor.
For additional information about
internships, write the Office of Cooperative
Education, LAB I, The Evergreen State
College, Olympia, WA 98505
External Credit Program
If you are an older student entering or
returning to college who's had prior work
or independent study experience of at least
a year's duration, you may be able to earn
academic credit for the learning you've
acquired. Credit for such learning may be
earned only through participation in the
college's external credit program. The
learning for which credit is sought must
have occurred in non-academic settings,
and before your first enrollment at
Evergreen.
If you have prior learning experience
which may make you eligible for the
program, you should contact the Coordinator of External Credit during your first
quarter of enrollment for a brochure and
more details.
Learning Resource Center
The Learning Resource Center is available
to you or any Evergreen student if you feel
a need for individualized, self-paced help
with reading, writing, or study skills. You
may work on a walk-in basis or take a
course for credit. Both self-programmed
materials and tutorial assistance are available, as well as diagnostic testing to determine your needs. The Learning Resource
Center is just one of the Educational
Support Programs. see page 87.
Advanced Placement, CLEP, and PEP
A score of three or higher on the Advanced
Placement Examination of the College
Entrance Examination Board will be
awarded credit. Credit will also be granted
on the basis of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) of the College
Entrance Examination Board. or the Proficiency Examination Program (PEP), so
long as scores are at the fiftieth percentile
or above, and do not duplicate other credit.
Where essay exams are available, they are
required. Contact the Registrar's Office for
further information.
Foreign Language Study
You can study foreign languages in
Coordinated Studies, Group Contracts,
Individual Learning Contracts, and
courses.
Coordinated Studies offer the most
integrated approach, as they combine
language study with cultural studies. In
recent years, programs in Russian, French,
and Spanish have been offered. The
common component is total immersion in
the language during Summer Quarter;
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 generally follow the
foreign component of Coordinated Studies
to enable you to do advanced work.
Individual Contracts may be possible in
certain cases when a particular area of
study is conducive to your individual work.
Part-time foreign language courses are
offered periodically in the afternoons and
evenings, or as a complement to a full-time
program.
Study Abroad
A chance to study abroad is offered
through some Coordinated Studies
programs, which first immerse you in the
language, history, and culture of a foreign
country, then enable you to continue your
studies in that country. Shorter study
programs also are offered in conjunction
with programs developed at Evergreen, or
through contracted studies.
Evergreen also works with other institutions with study abroad programs to
assist students in completing projects
essential to their education.
To study abroad:
1. Pre-register on program selection card,
with your signature and that of your
faculty advisor.
2. Process status changes, i.e., change of
credits, withdrawal, or leave during the
course of the year, graduation, extension
beyond 180 Evergreen quarter credit hours.
3. Make sure your address on file at the
Registrar's Office is correct. This is
absolutely necessary for billing.
4. Secure necessary certification if VA. or
Social Security benefits apply.
5. If you need financial aid, be sure to give
your signature on loans, and file statement
of intent, etc., in advance.
These details can be handled in
advance, but the responsibility for initiating
action rests with you. Inquiries should
begin at the Registrar's Office.
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 you can develop a personalized
approach to study of such diverse areas as
science, management, music, mathematics,
and languages.
You may use two main facilities for
self-paced studies for academic credit,
either on your 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 you can register for a
complete sequence of self-paced instruction
in, for example, "Introduction to Computers and the BASIC Programming
Language." Some of these programs satisfy
requirements for academic programs.
However, "browsing" also is welcomed.

Campus Life
Seattle and Tacoma lie to the north on
Interstate 5 and offer all the cultural and
recreational activities you would expect to
find in large cities.
Housing on Campus
72
80
Most buildings on Evergreen's campus are
grouped around a large. red brick plaza
(christened "Red Square" long ago). On
warm days, student musicians gather near
the corner of the plaza formed by the
Library and College Activities Building, the
volleyball players occupy the center.
Frisbee artists line up near the Lecture
Halls, and those who prefer to just lie
around often climb up on the large. grassy
knoll at the head of the plaza near the
laboratory building complex.
On rainy days. which are frequent in
the Northwest, campus buildings become
warm refuges from the drizzle. That may
be one reason why Evergreen's library has
such a high rate of student use-it's C07.y.
On snowy days, just a few each year,
the campus becomes an outdoor gallery for
student snow sculpture. And if the
sculptor's creative mood breaks down.
snowball fights are easy to arrange.
The northern edge of the campus is
3.300 feet of undeveloped waterfront along
Eld Inlet. at the tip of Puget Sound. A trail
through the woods leads to beach walks or
swimming.
Most of the campus is forested-I ,000
acres of alder, maple. and Douglas fir.
There are trails for walking, jogging. and
bicycling. The forest itself is an excellent
learning laboratory for the biological
sciences and environmental studies.
The Pacific Ocean is about an hour's
drive west of campus, with long, sandy
beaches gradually giving way to an
extremely rugged coastline as you move
farther north. The road north, Highway
101. runs like a tunnel through old-growth
forests and takes you past the Quinault
Indian Reservation. the western entrances
to the Olympic National Park and, at the
top of the loop. the Hurricane Ridge ski
area, and the City of Port Angeles, where
you can hop a ferry for Victoria, British
Columbia. The complete 101 circuit back
to Evergreen means a quick side-trip to
Port Townsend (a haven for writers and
artists). and then a leisurely drive down the
shore of Hood Canal.
A few hours' drive east of campus is
14,000-foot Mt. Rainier, the snow-capped
sentinal of the Cascade Range. The
Cascades bisect the state-millions
of acres
in national parks and forests available for
outdoor recreation.
When You're Not Studying
On-campus social activities include films,
concerts, dances, plays, visiting speakers,
and special events. Academic programs are
often the source of cultural events; students
stage public performances as a regular part
of their studies in theater, dance, music,
film. and other areas. And, of course.
everyone spends a good deal of time
talking-about
life, about Evergreen, about
art, about politics, and about whatever is
exciting, frustrating, or merely curious. The
Evergreen community is an interesting
collection of people-you'll
enjoy getting to
know them.
There are also intramural and intercollegiate sports, Leisure Education workshops ranging from dance to sport
parachuting, and a well equipped Campus
Recreation Center (II-lane pool, saunas,
racquetball courts, etc.). The Recreation
Equipment Center also can outfit you for a
two-week backpacking expedition, a whitewater river trip, or a Sunday afternoon
volleyball game.
Favorite Olympia-area pastimes include movies (the town has 18 theaters);
breakfast at the Spar Restaurant; lounging
around 4th Avenue near the harbor, where
many businesses are owned by former
Evergreeners; and, if you're old enough,
beer and pool at the Two Mile House or
dancing to LOUD rock at the 4th Ave.
Tav(ern).
Living on campus has many advantages.
with varying accommodations available
through the Housing Office. The choice is
yours.
About 600 students live on-campus in
the four residence halls and in the "Mods."
a collection of 19 duplexes. with living
units ranging from one-. two- and fivebedroom apartments. to single and double
studios. Housing is close to classrooms and
the main campus facilities with 24-hour
security services.
Campus living has the additional
advantages of mail delivery. handicap residence units. bicycle and motorcycle
shelters, storage lockers. TV-FM cable,
color TV and lounges. pool and ping pong
tables. laundry facilities, bus service to and
from the greater Olympia area. and recreational. social and cultural events.
Most units have complete kitchens. so
you can either cook your own meals or
eat at the cafeteria. snack bar, or deli
located in the College Activities Building.
College housing tends to fill up early.
It's relatively inexpensive. convenient to
campus, and many students find it puts
them in closer touch with the social life of
the college. It is available on a "first-come,
first-served" basis. following completion of
an application and receipt of deposit. You'll
be given a full refund if you are not
admitted to college; a cancelled application
by the date on the contract or lease brings
a partial refund.
Forms and more information are
available from The Evergreen State College
Housing Office. Building A. Room 322.
Olympia. WA 98505.
Off-Campus Housing
About 400 students live in Adult Student
Housing (ASH). a privately-operated apartment complex on Overhulse Road at the
edge of the campus. (You have to be a
student to live there.)
The remaining 60 percent of the
student body lives mostly in the Olympia
area. They commute to campus by car,
bus, or bicycle. Though inexpensive offcampus housing is scarce, resourceful
students usually find something
appropriate-from
apartments to farmhouses, large shared rentals to onebedroom cottages.
Bus Service
If you choose to live off campus, Olympia's
Intercity Transit (IT) bus system provides
you with a convenient means of daily transportation to Evergreen.
"We preferred sports that we
knew our students wanted, that
had potential for life-long
involvement. ... "
Robert 1. FlOH'NS, Secretarv.
Board 0(' Trustees
Every week day from 6:45 to 7 p.m ..
IT buses shuttle between the intersection of
4th and Capitol in downtown Olympia and
the central plaza on Evergreen's campus at
20-minute intervals. Evening and weekend
buses run on an hourly schedule. and an
Evergreen van provides additional service
along an alternate route to Tumwater.
Numerous IT routes give most
residents of the greater Olympia-LaceyTumwater area the option of commuting to
Evergreen. As long as they are at a safe
place for vehicles to pull over. community
members and students alike can flag down
an IT bus or the Evergreen van anywhere
along regular routes.
Food Services
Students have a choice of casual meal plans
on a cash or scrip ticket basis. a snack bar,
and "deli" services. A full catering and
banquet service also is available.
Festive meals are provided periodically
during the year. a vegetarian entree line is
available. and special diets are prepared
when medically required.
Mail Services
Student mail is delivered to the residence
halls six days a week. Campus mail service
personnel distribute deliveries to individual
mail boxes.
U.S. Postal Service mail drops are
centrally located, with stamps and parcel
mailing available from a self-service postal
unit in the CAB.
