designed to serve the needs of high school students by providing them with information
essential to planning their post-high school academic programs.

FIRST MAJOR FILM PREMIERE SET AT EVERGREEN TONIGHT
The first major film premiere ever held at Evergreen is set for tonight
at 7:30 and 9:30 o'clock in Lecture Hall One. The film, "Rockaday Ritchie
and Queen of the Hop" has been released by a major Hollywood studio and is
based on the true story of Charlie Starkweather, a murderer who slashed a
path of destruction across the mid-west in the early 1950's.
Filmed in Oregon last year, the film was directed by Portland's George
Hood, who will be on campus for the premiere to talk about the movie. Following
each showing, which will cost $.25 per person, members of the audience will
be asked to fill out a short questionnaire about their reactions to the movie,
which was brought to campus through the efforts of two award-winning Evergreen
filmmakers, Frankie Foster and Richard Speer.
EPIC ORGANIZATION TO PROVIDE POLITICAL INFORMATION
The season of campaigning may be over, but the need for political information is not.
At least that's the view of a group of students who've established the Evergreen Political
Information Center in the Day Care Kiosk on the main mall of the College Activities Building.
Student Regon Unsoeld says the need for the new service was first expressed at a meeting
of the Amnesty International group, which felt that TESC lacked an efficient mechanism
for gathering and disseminating politically-oriented information.
Emphasis and direction of the information service will be on international, national,
and local politics, according to Unsoeld, not just on activities of the state legislature,
as has been the case with previous Evergreen political information groups, such as the
Citizens Action Network, first formed during the 1973 legislative session. Unsoeld says
the group hopes to schedule speakers and films, prepare reports on political functions,
and publicize schedules and activities of different campus groups.
How the center will work will be the topic of a noon meeting Tuesday (Nov. 12) in
Library room 1100B. Unsoeld said all Evergreeners and other interested persons are invited
to attend.

as an important food product because, he says, they are high in nutritional value, low in
calories and "very delicious."
