...FALL QUARTER ENROLLMENT SHOWS 2,439...Preliminary figures for Fall Quarter enrollment
show 2,439 students currently attending Evergreen, according to Registrar Walker Allen.
The total compares with 2,327 students attending Fall Quarter 1973.
Allen noted that the tentative figures also reflect an increase in the percentage of
both residents and non-white students at Evergreen. "Last fall 75 percent of our students
were residents of the State of Washington," he reports. "This fall that figure is up to
80 percent. This percentage increase reflects a deliberate attempt on our part to provide
academic services to more Washington residents."
The percentage of non-white students enrolled at Evergreen has also climbed from
8.5 percent (or 198 students) in 1973 to 9.7 percent (238 students) this fall. The preliminary enrollment figures also reflect an increase in the percentage of students who
returned to Evergreen from the previous year. Fall Quarter 1973, 55 percent of the students
enrolled in Fall of 1972 returned to TESC. This year, 61 percent of those students who
attended Evergreen last fall have returned. This figure, as Allen noted with a grin, "sure
says we're doing something right."

...SENGALESE DANCERS TO PERFORM AT EVERGREEN OCT. 28...The Sengalese National Dance
Company, a troupe of more than three dozen dancers and musicians from the West African nation
of Senegal, will perform in the main lobby of the Evergreen library Oct. 28 beginning at
7:30 p.m. The performance, sponsored by the Office of Recreation and Campus Activities, will
cost $2.50 for adults. Children under 12 admitted free. Tickets available at the door.
The dancers, who have been traveling throughout the world for the past 14 years, present
dance forms and rituals which have been a part of African tradition almost since the dawn
of tribal societies. Accompanied by unusual instruments and a variety of native costumes,
the dancers concentrate on forms derived from different tribal appeals to the gods of fertility
either of the soil or the women. The instruments and costumes reflect tribal evolution
and adaptation to artifacts from outside cultures. Arabic influences and later those of
French and modern societies are exemplified.
For additional information on the dance troupe or the program, call Evergreen Office
of Recreation and Campus Activities, 866-6220.
...TESC ECONOMICS PROGRAM DISCUSSED AT UCLA...Dr. Charles Nisbet, an Evergreen faculty
member in economics, spoke to the 20th annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Counsel on Latin
American Studies at the University of California at Los Angeles Oct. 19. Dr. Nisbet
delivered a paper on "Latin American Studies Through the Back Door: An Evergreen Approach."
His was the only paper at the conference describing a different way of teaching Latin American
studies at the undergraduate level.
Dr. Nisbet said he was invited to speak before the Counsel after a California academic
dean attended the Northwest Symposium on Chili organized by students at Evergreen last
January. "The dean was so impressed with the fact that our academic programs would allow
undergraduates to conduct such an extensive symposium, he invited me to discuss our entire
economics curriculum in California, Dr. Nisbet reported.
