EVERGREENERS HARVEST TIMBERS FOR THE NEEDY
A "huge army of ants" converged on the site of the Communications Laboratory Building
last Sunday and harvested nearly a dozen cords of wood for distribution to needy families
in the Olympia area. Faculty Member Bill Aldridge, who organized the crew of Evergreen
lumberjacks, said it was "one of the most satisfying days I've ever had."
Some 40 students, faculty and staff offered their muscles throughout the day to cut,
stack and deliver the timbers, which were saved after land for the new building was cleared
this summer.
"Chain saws were howling, axes were chopping, and wedges were being driven all day
long," Aldridge said. "And, this whole crew of workers kept up a steady stream of lumber..."
from stacks on the ground to pickups, and to the homes of six families identified as
"needy" by the Department of Social and Health Services.
Aldridge said the crew harvested "all the wood that we could get at," Sunday. He added,
"there was quite a bit of cedar and fir timber stacked along with the firewood (alder and
maple). Once the cedar and fir has been delivered to the Organic Farm (for construction
of an additional building), we'll have another work day to clean up the rest of the firewood
and get it delivered."
Idea for salvaging the cleared timbers, which are usually burned before construction
begins,came from Aldridge last Spring. "I felt sure there were a number of families in
this area who could use the firewood this winter," he said. "I'm just really pleased that
we were able to save it for distribution."
Working with Aldridge on the humanitarian effort have been Faculty Member Earle McNeil,
Architect Bill Knauss and Director of Facilities Jerry Schillinger.
BURGER RESIGNS
AS EDITOR; HIRSHMAN TO TAKE OVER CPJ
Knute Olsson (Skip) Burger resigned Oct. 9 as editor of the Cooper Point Journal. Citing
"personal reasons" for his resignation, Burger, a third-year Evergreener from Seattle, said
he was leaving the editorship in the capable hands of Bill Hirshman, who has served as
managing editor of the paper Fall Quarter.
Burger will continue on the CPJ staff as an associate editor. The Lakeside High School
graduate said he'll be devoting more time to his academic work in the "Communications Inside/
Outside" program the rest of the quarter.
Hirshman, a junior from Philadelphia, served as news editor of the CPJ last Spring
and as news director for KAOS radio. His position as managing editor will be filled by
Nick Allison, a freshman from Seattle.
Official appointment of a new editor will be made by the Publications Board at its
next meeting scheduled for later this month.

VICE PRESIDENTS CALL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DTF
Vice Presidents Dean Clabaugh and Ed Kormondy this week called for creation of a
Disappearing Task Force to "review, modify, expand upon and finally recommend" minimum
procedural steps for preparation of Environmental impact statements.
In a memo issued Oct. 4, Clabaugh and Kormondy named Faculty Member Richard Cellarius
chairman of the DTF and asked seven other staff and faculty members to work with him
"together with such other staff and faculty members and students as may be helpful and
represent a proper community cross section." Working with Cellarius will be Director of
Facilities Jerry Schillinger, Faculty Members Steve Herman, Oscar Soule, Pete Taylor,
Craig Carlson, and Al Wiedemann, and Architect Bill Knauss.
DTF members will assist in advising Facilities staff members on preparation of first
draft Evnironmental Impact Statements and will help them review and recommend EIS changes
before the documents are sent off campus. The DTF is also charged with reviewing and considering possible changes to the campus master plan.
The DTF was promoted, in part, by an earlier recommendation from Cellarius to establish
minimum procedural steps for EIS preparation.

-4ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES STUDENTS VOLUNTEER FOR SPRING PROJECTS
Students from Applied Environmental Studies, an advanced Coordinated Studies program,
have volunteered their efforts to community, state and local groups and agencies for
Spring Quarter. The students, who are under the direction of Faculty Members Oscar Soule,
Carolyn Dobbs and Russ Lidman, are seeking projects which will enable them to apply their
academic studies to practical, problem-solving in the areas of economics, urban planning
and ecology.
The group plans to spend much of Fall Quarter seeking and interviewing potential
applicants for the Spring Quarter projects. By January the students will have selected
three or four projects and will concentrate on developing the skills necessary to complete
them. Spring Quarter they will devote most of their time to the projects and, if need
be, some of the students may work on the projects next summer.
Persons interested in working with the students are invited to contact Norman
Teinowitz (866-5201) or Dan Tishman (866-0167)..
SAN FRANCISCO, SEATTLE ARTISTS HERE MONDAY
T. R. UTHCO, a group of San Francisco and Seattle artists, will present a show,
"Great Moments" at Evergreen Oct. 14 beginning at 8 p.m. in the main lobby of the Library
Building. The presentation, sponsored by Eye-5, will dramatize "the bridge linking formal,
visual art with the more innovative discoveries of current avant garde theater," according
to Adrienne Alexander, Eye-5 area coordinator.
Nine separate pieces
covering a wide range of thought, emotion and fantasy
will be presented in a specific and interrelated sequence, creating a synthesis between
prepared media (slide, film, audio and video tapes) and live performances on stage. The
performance, according to Alexander, "will have obvious roots in surrealism, minimalism
and theater of the absurd."
Members of the group, who have worked together for the past five years, have performed,
lectured and conducted workshops extensively across the United States and Canada.
