...EVERGREENERS FOUNDING MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY...An Evergreen Museum of Natural
History may be the end result of a four-week trip to Arizona for 29 students and two
faculty members. After spending more than seven months studying the environment of
the coniferous forest around the Cooper Point campus, the students took to the road
May 1 to study environments sharply different from those of Western Washington.
The trip, which will take the young scientists through Oregon, California,
Nevada and Arizona, will include two weeks of intensive study at the Southwestern
Research Station of the American Museum of Natural History in Portal, Arizona. "We'll
be collecting specimens and conducting field research all the way to Arizona," Faculty
Member Steve Herman said. "Once, there, we'll work with professional researchers,
studying the five different life zones and the wide variety of biotypes found in the
center's unspoiled environment." The specimens, collected both along the road and at
the center, will form the beginnings of an Evergreen Museum of Natural History. Prime
purpose of the trip is not to establish the museum, Herman said, "but to expose students
to different environments and to give them an opportunity to compare the high degree of
skills they have developed with those of the professional researchers with whom they'll
be working in Arizona."
...WILLIAMS NAMED HOUSING MANAGER...Kathy Williams, 26, formerly of Eugene, Oregon,
has been appointed housing manager. The appointment, which takes effect immediately,
was announced May 1 by John Moss, who was recently named Evergreen's Director of
Auxiliary Services. Ms. Williams, who has been housing activities coordinator since
December, assumes the post formerly held by Gerald Burke.
...COMMUNITY RESOURCE PERSONS SOUGHT...Persons with skills they would like to share
are invited to the classrooms of Olympia school children next fall. A search is on for
community resource persons "who can share their hobbies, their occupations and/or their
skills with children from grades kindergarten through twelve," according to Ms. Coke
Funkhouser of the Olympia School District. Interested persons can sign up any time
between now and next fall, and they can select the age group of students with whom they'd
like to work, Ms. Funkhouser said. All Olympia-area residents are invited to contact
her at 943-3493 for further information.
...AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS INVITED TO COMPETE IN FILM FESTIVAL...Amateur photographers

with or without sound
will be accepted. Interested persons can contact Faculty
Member Gordon Beck, Library 2114, or call 753-3975.
...SOME EVERGREEN NAMES IN THE NEWS...Admissions Director David Brown served as chairman of the Registration and Information Committee at the Western Regional Conference
of the National Association of College Admissions Counselors held in Los Angeles in April.
...Faculty Member Don Chan was an adjucator for the Washington Music Educators' Competition, Southwest Division, held in Chehalis. Chan said his duties included providing
constructive criticism of student musical performers.
