Calendar-Newsletter
May, 1970
Volume 2, Number 5
NEWS NOTES
The influx of faculty and staff personnel continues at a brisk pace as planning tine
elapses and the opening of classes draws nearer. Three members of the faculty planning
team were named after publication of the last newsletter, bringing the total to ten,
and more are impending in the near future. Those named in mid-April were:
Beryl L. Crowe (Oregon State University), Assistant Professor of Political Science.
Richard M. Jones (Harvard University), Professor of Psychology.
S. Rudolph Martinf Jr. (Washington State University), Assistant Professor of
English.

Meanwhile, a belated welcome to Kenneth W. Paul! of Olympia, who joined us April 16 as
Coordinator of Library Systems. Ken had been a Budget Analyst in the Budget Formula"
tion and Review Division of the state's Office of Program Planning and Fiscal Management
since October, 1967. (Wonder if he ever tried to fit that title on a regular business
card? Or did he have the only 8-1/2 x 11 inch card in the world?)
* **
A major appointment to the staff of Vice President For Business Dean Clabaugh also has
been announced. Ron A. Hoffman, currently Assistant Purchasing Agent for the University
of Washington, will Join us July 13 as Director of Business Services. Bis responsibilities at Evergreen will include administration of purchasing operations and such related
business services as transportation, receiving, storage, duplicating and mail and
messenger service. Hoffman is a 1963 graduate of Bradley University, where he received
a bachelor's degree in marketing and business.
* **
Also appointed to the staff recently was Kenneth A. Donohue of San Jose, California,
who begins work May 4 as Administrative Assistant to Vice President and Provost David
Barry. Donohue has been an Administrative Assistant to the Executive and Academic Vice
Presidents at San Jose State College since April, 1969, including brief service with
Dr. Barry when the latter was Interim Executive Vice President prior to his move to
Evergreen. Donohue is a 1969 graduate of San Jose State College, where he received a
bachelor's degree in English.

And, a Shelton man, John A. Sells, has been retained as a construction coordinator,
according to Director of Facilities Planning Jerry Schillinger. A construction
coordinator and inspector for 22 years, Sells will serve as liaison between architects
and contractors during building of student residential facilities. He will be assigned
construction coordination responsibilities for other projects at a later date. Major
projects with which Sells has been associated in recent years include the Fairhaven
complex at Western Washington State College, Mason County General Hospital, The Washington Corrections Center at Shelton and a new residence hall at Washington State
University. Sells is one of three construction coordinators working on projects at
Evergreen. Retained earlier were Don Mace, formerly of Richland (and a veteran Evergreener) and Neal M. Jacques of Kent. Jacques, a licensed civil engineer and former
Boeing Company employee3 has been retained by Quinton-Budlong Engineers of Seattle for
coordination of the big site improvement contract, scheduled to be let in June.
* **
Turning to the construction scene, here's the latest on the library from Don Mace, our
correspondent at the "Big Hole". Hoffman Construction Company now has 45 men on the
job and, despite delays in the delivery of steel and troubles finding steelworkers,
things still are on schedule. Current work consists of pouring foundations, basement
walls, footings, columns and mechanical room walls. Workmen should reach the first
floor and begin forming work there in mid-May. For the statistically-inclined these
figures are noteworthy: 1,375 cubic yards of concrete poured; 250 tons of reinforcing
steel placed.

Jerry Schillinger*s ever-busy staff currently is reviewing final drawings and specifications for the Large Group Instruction Center, Central Utilities Plant, Garages and Shops
and Site Improvement project—all scheduled for bid between May 4 and 25. Drawings are
nearly complete for the Student Residences, scheduled to be bid May 25, and College
Activities Building, slated for bidding June 1. Schematic drawings for proposed Phase
Two (1971-73 biennium) projects will be ready by the target date of June 1. And,
Schillinger reports, J. D. Outton Company of Olympia has finished about 90 per cent of
the work on a site improvement contract awarded last year. Remaining work consists
of excavating for the College Activities Building.

In case you missed the word, the Board of Trustees at its April 23 meeting approved
revised enrollment projections, including a decrease from 1200 to 800 student places
when classes start. The decreased initial enrollment is due in part to funding levels
which provided for about 20 planning faculty and a resolve by college planners not to
more than double that number for the opening year. The decision also prompted by the
fact that Evergreen won't have certain types of physical facilities available until
the second or third year of operation. President Charles McCann points out that the
college still expects to meet its near term enrollment goals. "The revised projections
show a 1977 enrollment of at least 7,000, compared to 6,900 in the original forecast,"
he told the board. "We'll reach or maybe even exceed the goal by the same time, but
we hope to get there in a more orderly fashion by adjusting the increments of enrollment
and faculty additions so that numbers grow steadily rather than in sudden spurts. We
believe this adjusted planning schedule will allow us to grow in a more logical way."

Even with the revised schedule, the people crush at Evergreen will be intense and dull
moments, if any, will be few and far between. (Which is standard operating procedure
anyway.)

President McCann continues to be a popular choice of clubs, organizations and other
educational institutions as an after-dinner speaker or participant in special events.
His vocal cords will get a particularly thorough going over during the second week of
May. On May 12 he'll address the Ellensburg Chapter of the American Association of
University Women as the concluding part of a year-long AAUW program entitled "The
Academic Community—A New Look On Campus". His speech at the organization's annual
dinner will be entitled "A New Look On a New Campus—The Evergreen State College".
Returning to Olympia, the president on May 13 will discuss "Campus Unrest" with the
Capital City Press Club, which is composed of newspaper, wire service and radio-TV
reporters. On May 14 he journeys to Camas to address an Academic Achievement Banquet
for outstanding 1970 high school graduates from Clark County. And on May 15 he travels
to Seattle to discuss Evergreen with a University of Washington education class.
President McCann also has accepted an invitation to deliver the commencement address
during -June 12 graduation exercises at Lower Columbia College in Longview.
* **
College budget hearings for the 1970-71 fiscal year and 1971-73 biennium are scheduled
to be conducted in the Library Services Trailer May 5 and 7. The hearings are designed
so that budget unit heads may make formal presentations about requests submitted to
the Financial Planning Office last month. Allocation of operating funds for the next
year will be determined after the hearings. Information gathered also will be the
basis for the college's 1971-73 biennium budget request to the Governor and the next
Legislature. All budget heads have been given copies of the hearing schedule. Anyone
with questions should direct them to Director of Financial Planning Buel Brodin.
* **
Beryl L. Crowe, a member of Evergreen's faculty planning team, has been chosen as a
Resource Leader for the First National Congress on Optimum Population and Environment,
scheduled for Chicago June 7-11. The four-day congress will bring together more than
1,100 delegates, scientists and concerned laymen for an examination of population and
environmental problems in the United States. Crowe is one of 100 specialists who will
present papers and act as resource leaders in areas related to population, ecology
and conservation. Currently an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Oregon
State University, Crowe will assume a similar position at Evergreen next September 1.

Speaking of environmental programs. Vice President and Provost David Barry was a recent
participant in a two-day conference at Foothills College at Los Altos, California. The
April 24-25 gathering examined such problems as population, pollution, ecology and conservation. Barry delivered the final speech at the meeting, a presentation entitled
"Crisis In The Garden".

Denis Curry, Director of the Office of Interinstitutional Business Studies, has been
appointed to a two-year term as a member of the Management Information Systems Technical
Committee of the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education. He also received a
one-year appointment as chairman of the committee and as such will be an ex-officio
member of the WICHE-MIS Executive Committee.
* **
Evergreen will host four presidents from Seattle Community College between 11:30 a.m.
and 3:00 p.m. May 25. The visitation will include meetings with members of the President's Council, lunch and a tour of the site. Guests will include President Ed K.
Erickson, President Robert C. Smith of South Seattle Community College, President Cecil
Baxter, Jr. of North Seattle Community College and President William Moore, Jr. of
Seattle Central Community College.
* **
Executive Vice President E. J. Shoben, Jr. has articles appearing or scheduled to appear
in three publications. He is a contributor to the January-February "Reviews" section of
Change Magazine (pages 53-57). His article "The Liberal Arts and Contemporary Society:
The 1970's" appears in the March edition (pages 28-38) of Liberal Education. And another
article "Cultural Criticism and the American College" is scheduled to appear at the end
of this month in Daedalus.

Kris Robinson, secretary to the Director of Facilities Planning, has a new title these
days. It's Coach Robinson now that she's cracking the managerial whip over a girl's
Softball team in Lacey. Her team of 14-16 year olds — bedecked in the red and white
of the former Lacey Lanes women's Softball squad — is entered in a city B League and
plays its first conference game in May. The team needs to raise money to buy shin
guards and a chest protector for the catcher, plus bats and balls. Immediate moneyraising efforts are two car washes in Lacey Saturday, May 2. One will occur at Battson's
Chevron Service, 3815 Pacific Avenuej one at Tanglewilde Texaco from 12:00 noon to 3:00
p.m. The cost is only 99 cents per car and Coach Kris is just sure her Evergreen cohorts
will drop by to contribute to the cause. Asked whether the girls would do a quality
wash job, Kris responded firmly, "They'd better!" Spoken like a true coach, coach.
