PLANNING CONFERENCE
All members of the planning faculty, all new faculty members and several college
staff met June 13-19 for general discussions, orientation, workshops and community
building. Sessions were held both on campus and at the University of Washington's
Pack Forest near Mount Rainier. The meetings--which featured general discussion
and orientation--included gatherings of the various Coordinated Studies and Contracted Studies teams, enabling all participants to get a jump on the work ahead of them
next fall. The various teams were able to plan their programs in great detail,
work out reading lists, order books, discuss specific needs with support staff
members, and make summer assignments to carry forth work begun during the conference.
Perhaps the most important element of the planning session was the opportunity it
afforded for people who will be working together under conditions of stress to get
to know each other in less frenzied circumstances. It's called community building,

that sense of cohesion and cooperative momentum toward commonly shared institutional
goals and concerns. This kind of team approach is critical to the success of
Evergreen's plan to build a true learning community, charged with the excitement
of ideas, discussion and active participation in the "real world" beyond the campus.
Creation of such a learning climate takes more than commitment to ideals and processes; it requires momentum. And that we have. Or, to put it in the closing
words of a well-known song, "Look Out World, Here We Come!"

PROGRAM
ASSIG~ffiNTS
All 1971-72 faculty members have been assigned to the programs in which they will
be working during opening year, according to Vice President and Provost David Barry.
"Shifts in student assignments during orientation week may necessitate some shifting
of faculty assignments," Barry said. "But from the care with which these program
assignments have been made, we do not expect that very many shifts will be in order,
either by students or faculty members." A couple of new Coordinated Studies programG
--Human Behavior: Self and Society and The Evergreen Environment--have been added
and two more--The Play's The Thing, and Puzzles, Games and Problem Solving---have
been deferred until later in the academic year. Here are the assignments to what
Dean Merv Cadwallader calls "Evergreen's Dream Teams":

STUDENT PROGRAM ASSIGNMENTS
Vice President Barry also reports that Dean Cadwallader and a faculty task force
has sent questionnaires to all firmly committed students for preliminary selection
of academic programs. "On the basis of the responses, the task force, working in
concert with other faculty members and the deans, has made tentative program assignments for all entering students," Barry says. "In addition to letters from Dean
Cadwallader explaining these assignments, all entering students also will receive
letters from the coordinators of their respective programs, welcoming them to the
programs, preparing for further correspondence over the summer, and suggesting
readings for orientation week discussions.'
* * *
OTHER ACADEMIC PLANNING NOTES
The Faculty Handbook has been completely revised and issued to all members of the
instructional team. All sections now represent the policies and procedures which
have been developed and agreed on during the planning year.
And, with the submission of final reports to serve as the basis for policies and
administrative procedures, the following Disappearing Task Forces have completed
their work for the planning year: Contracted Studies, Student Evaluations and
Records, Faculty Evaluation and Program Evaluation, Student Orientation for 1971,
Role of Coordinator and Team, Coordinated Studies, Logistics, Admissions, and Faculty
Summer Orientation. Work continues on the planning of the Seminar Building, laboratory facilities, and arts facilities.

COLLEGE BOOKSTORE
Day by day, Bookstore Manager Doris McCarty is moving toward Evergreen's fall opening, when a completely equipped store will be in operation. "Our emphasis will be
on books, of course," she says, "But there will be a well rounded selection of all
other kinds of merchandise usually found in college stores. Some of our school
supplies have been ordered--spiral notebooks, filler paper, report covers, imprinted
notebooks, etc. There will also be a complete art supply center, plus greeting
cards, stationery and sundry items.
"Diana Bunn is compiling stock control cards for all books in the referenee department. We have 1,000 titles of paperback books on order and additional titles will
be ordered after lists are received from the faculty. All program book orders were
received from the faculty in mid-June and we estimate that about 16,500 books will
be needed for academic programs during fall quarter."

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Evergreen's Board of Trustees has authorized the purchasing of modular units supplied
by St. Regis Paper Company of Tacoma to provide more on-campus student housing for the
1971-72 academic year. The modular buildings--arranged in a duplex configuration-··
will house 152 students, or four in each of the two-bedroom, 804-square-foot units.
Total cost of the project will be approximately $779,650, including expenditures for
laundry units, furniture, site improvements, engineering fees, administrative costs,
and sales tax. The supplemental units--augmenting 450 living spaces being constructed
in the student residential center--will rent for $62 per student per month. Acquisition of the housing facilities was made necessary when requests for on-campus living
accommodations far exceeded the spaces available in the residence halls.
Trustees also approved a $9,500 loan from the college's general local fund to the
housing and food fund to cover operating expenses of the Evergreen Housing Office
from July 1 to September 30, 1971. Funds will be repaid from housing revenues on or
about October 1.
And, the board elected Janet Tourtellotte of Seattle as chairman for the next year,
succeeding Halvor Halvorson of Spokane. Mrs. Tourtellotte has been a member of th~
board since 1967. Trueman L. Schmidt of Olympia was elected vice chairman and Al
Saunders of Tacoma was named secretary for 1971-72.

MORNINGSIDE REACHES ITS GOAL
Morningside, the local sheltered workshop and activity center for handicapped and
retarded persons, has far exceeded the $75,000 goal in its community fund-raising
campaign, launched last February. With some returns still not in, the total had
neared $89,000, including about $800 from Evergreen staff and faculty. Local funds
will be used along with at least $175,000 in federal and state matching money for
construction of a new Morningside facility west of Olympia.
* * *
ABOUT OUR STUDENTS
Every now and then we run across an item in a newspaper which tells us about activities
of students headed for Evergreen next fall. For instance, Carol Knight of Woodland
High School has been chosen as a princess for that community's annual Veteranr--Plantera
Day Festival. Sandy Davidson, a senior at Redmond High School, received a $60 scholarship during her commencement exercises and will use it here. She plans to becomP. a
teacher. And, Rita O'Brien of Spokane will be leaving more than just her home when
she heads for Evergreen. She'll be splitting away from her brother and sister, Rose
and Charles, who will attend Spokane Community College. That's worth noting because
Rita, Rose and Charles are triplets, born to Mr. and Mrs. Jack O'Brien in 1954. The
triplets were graduated from Spokane's Ferris High School on June 4.

time for out-of-state mail will drop by nearly two days.
