TRUSTEES GIVE "GO-AHEAD" FOR THE PAPER, ALTER MASTER HOUSING PLAN
A student newspaper may hit the presses by the beginning of Spring Quarter, thanks
to action by Evergreen's Board of Trustees last week. The trustees approved creation
of a Board of Publications which, when appointed, will select a student editor and
begin production of The Paper, which has been out of circulation since last June.
The Board adopted a governance policy for The Paper which President Charles J.
McCann said, "places a lot of responsibility in the editorship." Drafted by a crosssection of the campus community, the newspaper's governance policy calls for creation
of a five-member board composed of two students selected at random by computer, two
faculty or staff members and a professional journalist to be appointed by the president .
In other business, the Board voted to modify the college's master plan for additional on-campus housing. The plan originally called for construction of eight new
units by fall of 1974 to house an additional 425 students. Because of a reduction
in enrollment projections and a freeze on federal subsidies from the Department of
Housing and Urban Development, the college board voted to cut back the number of
structures from eight to five and reduce the number of accommodations from 425 beds
to 300. The Board also approved the sale of $3,072,000 in bonds to finance the proposed new structures.
The board also authorized the sale of $2,625,000 in bonds to finance an addition
to the College Activities Building. The project is scheduled for completion by fall
of 1975.

TWO NEW DEANS SOUGHT:
CADWALLADER AND SOULE ROTATING INTO FACULTY
A Disappearing Task Force met yesterday (Feb. 14) to begin the search for a new
academic dean to fill the spot currently held by Merv Cadwallader and for a new associate dean replacing Oscar Soule.
In a letter to faculty, staff and students, Provost Ed Kormondy announced "with
utmost of reluctance and very deep personal regret" that Cadwallader had elected to
move into a faculty position after spending three years as a dean. Soule, who began
his associate deanship last fall, has decided to return to the faculty.
Members of the 12-person DTP, who will receive nominations and applications from
all members of the Evergreen community until Feb. 21 include the four current deans
(Cadwallader, Soule, Don Humphrey and Charles Teske), five faculty (Nancy Allen, Jose
Arguelles, Betty Estes, Will Humphreys and Sid White), two staff members (Vivian Marcy
and Lem Stepherson), and one student (David Shepard).
Those eligible for consideration must be faculty members. Kormondy explained:
-3-
—2—
"Although developments in future years may dictate otherwise, the needs for the
immediate future are such that the eligibility requirements for the positions of
Dean and Associate Dean is that the nominee be a person who is or has been a Member
of the Faculty at Evergreen and who is or has been engaged in a Coordinated Studies (
program."
Each applicant or nominee for a deanship will be asked to prepare a public qualifications folder and make it available to all interested persons from Feb. 21 to
Mar. 7. The DTF will analyze all information on the various candidates for two weeks
and report to Kormondy on Mar. 14 with a non-prioritized list of the top three candidates for each position. Kormondy plans to announce appointment of the new dean and
associate dean by Mar. 21.

SEED GRANT PROGRAM APPROVED BY TRUSTEES
A program to provide funds for faculty members to develop grant proposals and
"acquire resources not accessible through regular budgetary channels" was approved by
the Board of Trustees at its February meeting. Provost Ed Kormondy said the Seed
Grants program would provide up to two months summer salary for three to five members
of the faculty or staff for "the express purpose of developing proposals for submission to appropriate granting agencies."
The program, which will also "encourage continued professional development of
faculty and staff," will provide an allotment of up to $500 to recipients for "such
travel, library research, computer studies, part-time student aid, etc., as warranted
to increase the likelihood of the developed proposals success," Kormondy explained.
Grant proposals must be submitted to a Disappearing Task Force by Mar. 15. The
DTF, composed of three faculty, three staff and three students, will present its
findings to President Charles J. McCann by Mar. 25 and announcements of awards will
be made by Apr. 1.
CITIZENS ACTION NETWORK TO PUBLISH WEEKLY REPORT
CRAFTS ON EXHIBIT IN LIBRARY
A cluster of one-man exhibits from Seattle's Henry Gallery are now on display
in the main foyer of the Library. Entitled "Master Crafts: Northwest Award Winners,"
the show includes work by four Northwest artists, and is an outgrowth of the 1971
competitive Northwest Craftsmen's show. Included in the show are jewelry done by
Ramona Solberg, an associate professor at the University of Washington; weaving done
by W. Ron Crosier, chairman of the art department of Adams High School in Portland,
Oregon; sculpture by Richard Marquis, a Seattleite, and hand-blown glass and sculpture by Patrick McCormick, a faculty member of Western Washington State College. The
show will remain on exhibit through Mar. 2.

LEGISLATIVE INTERNS FIND LEARNING "MORE THAN A FULL-TIME JOB"
With more than a month's experience on the hill, three legislative interns from
Evergreen
Marcella Wing, Dave Reeder and Mike Harding
reported they're "learning much more about the legislative process than we ever could have in the classroom."
But, they agree it takes more than 40 hours a week to do it.
Ms. Wing, a 21-year-old Renton High School graduate assigned to Rep. Tom Swayze,
a Gig Harbor Republican, said the most impressive point about the session is the
interaction among all its elements. "Nothing any one person does here can be accomplished without affecting someone else," she said. "You have to be continually aware
that what you do ties in directly with what at least one
but often several other
people
are doing."
Discovering the difficulties of passing environmental legislation is 20-year-old
Dave Reeder of Mesa, Arizona, who has been assigned to Rep. John Martinis, an Everett
Democrat. "I've been very concerned about environmental legislation for years and
could not understand why it was so difficult to get through," Reeder said. "Now I'm
beginning to realize that passage of environmental legislation depends primarily on
the political processes. There's just so much more to it than I suspected."
The third Evergreen intern, Mike Harding, is working closely with Rep. Albert
Bauer, a Vancouver Democrat who has known Harding for several years. Somewhat skeptical of bureaucracies at the outset of his internship, Harding said he's been amazed
at how efficient a system the legislature is. "You ask for information here and you
get it
immediately," he said.
All three of the students have widely varying tasks each day
from research
to letter writing, attending committee hearings to discussing problems with their
representatives. They voice a uniform gratitude for their access to "what's really
happening," and for their opportunities for input into the legislature.
In addition to their work with legislators, the three interns and about a dozen
other Evergreen students who are working on the hill meet weekly with Faculty Member
Matthew Smith to share their experiences. "The other interns are working with lobbyists, governmental agencies and some of the state offices," Smith said. "Putting all
the students together, we have just about every aspect of the State Legislature covered.
This means the students can really get a complete picture of what's going on when they
meet for their weekly seminars."
EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS
New to the staff this past month are Jeannie Chandler, secretary; William Hemsher,
janitor; Sharon Landis, storekeeper; Fred Lentz, engineer; Thomas Quinn, janitor;
Candace Roth, clerk' typist; and Carole Sadler, janitor.
Faculty Member Bill Winden and his wife, Joan, traveled to the Tri-Cities this
week to perform solos in Verdi's "Requim" with the Mid Columbia Symphony. The two
were scheduled to perform along with other soloists from the Seattle Opera.
A weekly report on what's happening in the legislature
as seen through the
eyes of more than a dozen students enrolled in the Citizens Action Network Group study
contract —- may be off the presses Feb. 20. Coordinated by Bob Butts and Will Rice,
the weekly sheet "will aim at providing a rundown on committee hearings, status of \y bills and otherEVERGREEN

Copies of the new report
A chance to save 25c per issue of the Evergreen Symposium is being offered now to
potential subscribers. Associate Editor and Faculty Member Sid White said the magazine
which costs $1 per issue, is available at a subscription rate of four issues for $3.
-4"We sold out our first issue and we encourage persons to take advantage of the special
rate," he said. Persons interested in doing so, can send checks to the Evergreen Symposium, care of its editors, Room 2114 of the Library. The next issue, which will focus
on "The Student at Evergreen," will be out Mar. 1. The editors reported they've had
"a very good response" from persons planning to contribute articles and essays to the(
second issue.

WIEDEMANN REPORTS FROM AUSTRALIAN BUSH
Faculty Member Al Wiedemann reports 100° weather and "an astounding variety of birdlife..." in his travels throughout Australia. Finding his trip a "delightful way to
spend a Washington Winter," Wiedemann wrote Information Services Director Dick Nichols
that he had just completed a 10-day road tour of research sites in the deserts around
Alice Springs and a week on a large farm in the foothills of the Australian Alps in tty
far southeastern part of the country where "drought conditions are serious and many
