...EVERGREENERS DESIGN TUMWATER PARKS AND RECREATION PROGRAM... The Tumwater City
Council this week approved allocation of $4,500 to launch a summer parks and recreation
program designed by two Evergreen students who also will coordinate the actual operation. The students
Randy Pendergrass of Kingston, Wa., and Barney Rapp of Longview
have spent most of Spring Quarter as interns working with city officials, the Parks
Board, Tumwater School District, and the Tumwater Timberland Library to develop a
comprehensive ten-week program basically aimed at youngsters between the ages of five
and 15. The program, scheduled for review by the School Board next week, calls for a
mixture of games, organized sports, crafts, reading, hiking and day camping by utilizing
such community facilities in Tumwater as school grounds, classrooms, and gymnasiums, as
well as parks and recreation areas and the public library.
The two students, working closely with Tumwater Parks Superintendent Jim Brown,
took the summer program idea from scratch, developed sets of alternatives (including
costs), coordinated their efforts with various public officials, and then presented a
final proposal which was adopted by the Tumwater Parks Board in late April and the
City Council this week. Their next step will involve a community publicity campaign
to attract youngsters to participate in the program.
...STUDENT WINS NEW YORK FELLOWSHIP GRANT...Rob Sims, an Evergreen junior, is one

graduate schools throughout the nation. He will begin his nine-month internship in
the office of New York City Mayor Abraham Beame in September.
The New York City Urban Fellowship, the first of its kind in the country, is
administered by the mayor's office of administration. Students selected are provided
with responsibilities in administrative problem-solving, research, policy planning and
related management areas. Sims is the second Evergreen student in two years to win
