Evergreen will host what promises to be a most significant conference next
Monday and Tuesday (December 8 and 9). Joining our staff for the Conference
on Science Curriculum Design and Implementation at the Tyee in Tumwater will
be administrators from eight other new colleges, representatives of five national
commissions on the sciences, students and observers from a variety of educational
organizations. This conference, first of its kind held in the United States, was
designed to stimulate discussion about innovative science curricula and to transfer the talk into actual programs. The core of Evergreen's science curricula and
the thrust for its sciences building programs probably will result, to a large
extent, from conclusions drawn during the conference. Vice President and Provost
David Barry and Dr. John M. Fowler, Director of the Commission on College Physics,
will serve as conference co-chairmen. Dr. Barry first proposed the conference
and was responsible for bringing it to Olympia. Also deserving bouquets are
Dr. Fowler, who has lined up an outstanding array of conference participants,
and June Kisler, who has worked long, hard hours handling correspondence and
attending to all the little details necessary to conduct a successful meeting.
WELCOME ABOARD to three new employees who have joined the staff since publication of the November newsletter. Kristi Robinson joined us November 17 as
secretary to the Director of Facilities Planning. Alice Douglas came aboard
November 17 as a Clerk-Typist. And, Susan Clark started work December 1 as an
Accounting Assistant. Controller Ken Winkley says Susan's job is "to try to
bring some order and control to the purchasing function'1-. He further states:
"She will process all requisitions, handle vendor problems and answer inquiries
from the staff on purchasing troubles. She also will handle equipment inventoryso when items are moved, she should know about it.i!

Executive Vice President E. J. Shoben, Jr., a most prolific writer, has more
publication credits. He is the principal contributor to The Counseling
Psychologist's special issue on student unrest and has edited the column "Reviews",
appearing in the November-December issue of Change Magazine. He also is quoted in
the autumn edition of "Dialogues", Daedalus, published by the Journal of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences, for his participation in the organization's
conference on Governance of the Universities (pages 1092-1154).
Dr. Shoben also has received a three-year appointment to the Association of
American Colleges' Commission on Liberal Learning.

PERSONAL, BUT PITHY
There's going to be a real holiday gathering of the clan at the home of Dean of
Library Services Jim Holly. Son Mike and his June bride, Sharon, will arrive
