Moss appointment 'reversed'
CLABAUGH APPEALS HEARING BOARD DECISION TO BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh has issued an appeal to the Evergreen
Board of Trustees to reverse the decision announced by the All Campus Hearing Board Jan. 27
on the John Moss appointment.
Clabaugh, in a letter to President Charles McCann requesting the appeal, asked that
the Trustees reverse the Hearing Board's decision at their next regular meeting,
scheduled for Feb. 13. Clabaugh's appeal came after the All Campus Hearing Board found
him in violation of "the spirit of the Affirmative Action policy" when he named Moss
Director of Personnel and Auxiliary Services without first allowing others to apply
for the position. Clabaugh contended the position, combined following the resignation of
former Personnel Director Diann Youngquist, was never "vacant" and that he was appointing
an "incumbent" to the combined post, since Moss had formerly served as Director of Auxiliary
Services.
In a two-paragraph statement issued late Monday (Jan. 27), the seven-member Hearing
Board found "unanimously in favor of the petitioners" who contended that Clabaugh violated
"both the spirit and the letter" of the Affirmative Action plan. "We find," the Board
declared, "that Mr. Clabaugh created a new position which had no incumbent and that John
Moss, the incumbent for a position which no longer existed, was selected to fill the
vacancy without compliance..." with the Affirmative Action policy. The violation, according
to the Hearing panel, "constitutes a violation of the letter..." of the AA policy.
"VACANCIES" THE KEY WORD
The specific section of the Affirmative Action policy which was referred to by the
Hearing Board states that.."Each vice president, dean and director is responsible for
filling job vacancies only from respective, non-discriminatory applicant pools..." The
Hearing Board therefore voted to "reverse the appointment" of Moss as permanent Director
of Personnel and Auxiliary Services and recommended that "his title be changed to Acting
Director while a search is conducted which complies with the Affirmative Action policy."
Clabaugh, in a brief interview Wednesday (Jan. 29), said he definitely intended to
appeal the decision and that, therefore, the Hearing Board's decision "is held in abeyance
until the Board of Trustees acts." He said his appeal to the Trustees is "based on my
belief that the Hearing Board erred by improperly considering the combined position to
have resulted in a vacancy which would require filling under Evergreen's Affirmative
Action procedures."
Members of the Hearing Board, who spent more than 16 hours hearing and deliberating
the case, included: student Carlos Rose-White; Faculty Members Nancy Taylor and Steve
Herman; and Staff Members Laura Thomas, Bill Knauss, Dan Swecker and McDonald Smith.
Witnesses called in the case included McCann, Dean of Student Development Programs
Larry Stenberg, and Affirmative Action Officer Rindy Jones. Academic Dean Lynn Patterson
served as spokeswoman for the petitioners, while Clabaugh spoke on behalf of his decision.
Moss himself was never called on throughout the two-day hearing.
BUDGET AIRED BEFORE HOUSE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
President Charles McCann was scheduled to present Evergreen's 1975-77 budget request
before the House Ways and Means Committee yesterday (Jan. 30). McCann, anticipating a
two-hour presentation, asked ten staff members to accompany him to the budget hearing to
serve as resource persons.
Scheduled to represent the college with McCann were Vice Presidents Ed Kormondy and
Dean Clabaugh, Director of Facilities Jerry Schillinger, Business Manager Ken Winkley,
Acting Budget Officer Don Sturgill. Presidential Assistant Les Eldridge, Dean of
Library Services Jovana Brown, Associate Dean of Library Services Dave Carnahan. Director
of Student Development Programs Larry Stenberg, and Director of Computer Services York Wonj

BLUES FESTIVAL SET FOR FEBRUARY 8
An all-star musical cast from the Mississippi Delta will perform Feb. 8 during
Evergreen's first Blues Festival. The festival features performances at 8 and 11 p.m.,
both in the main lobby of the Library Building. The festival is sponsored by the college
Gig Commission and a student-supported organization, "Straight From the Pit Enterprises."
The Blues Festival marks the first time The Mississippi Delta Blues Band, Bonnie
Jefferson, and Mississippi George Lee have appeared together on a college campus outside
the Delta region. The harmonica and acoustic guitar dominate the sound of the Mississippi
Delta Blues Band, members of which include Harmonica Albert, vocalist; Delta Joe, bass
guitarist and vocalist; Guitar Jones, lead guitarist and vocalist; and Bob Hance, drummer.
Mississippi George Lee (George Lee Spears) has performed on plantations, in dance halls,
barrooms, and coffee houses throughout Mississippi for 30 years.
Bonnie Jefferson, one of few woman Blues guitarists in America, is a versatile, crowdpleasing performer who plays and sings traditional folk songs and Blues, as well as country
music in the tradition of Jimmy Rodgers.
Advance tickets cost $2.50 for students and $3.50 for others and may be obtained
at the bookstore, Rainy Day Records, Childhood's End, the Music Bar in Lacey, Rainbow
Grocers in Olympia and Rap Records in Tacoma. Tickets sold at the door will cost $4.
BOARD APPROVES NEW PROCEDURES, ADDS TO KAOS ADVISORS
A policy for obtaining banquet permits, an expansion of the KAOS advisory board and
procedures for drawing up Environmental Impact Statements were approved by the Board of
Trustees at a Jan. 23 meeting.
In a meeting unruffled by protest or dispute, Board members formally accepted the
banquet permit procedures which have been in use on a trial basis since November. They als(
added two members to KAOS radio's advisory board (one faculty or staff member and a member
of the greater Olympia community), and granted approval for establishment of procedural
steps for environmental review of proposed capital projects, which were recommended by the
Environmental Impact Statement/Master Plan Disappearing Task Force.
Board members also heard a report from Jack Winn, president of Professional Forestry
Services, Incorporated, in Olympia on possible plans for managing the forests on Evergreen's
nearly 1000 acres. Winn recommended that the board consider permitting some gradual thinning
of trees in different stages, which, he said, could net the college $50,000 by 1980. Winn
also said Evergreen had "300-400 acres that can be managed" to improve the quality of forests.
Faculty Member Richard Cellarius chairman of the Environmental Impact Statement DTF, said
his group felt that before any actual cutting was done, the proposal by Winn should be
examined from the perspective of the college's total master plan. Board Chairman Thomas
Dixon called for the DTF to review Winn's report and submit its findings to the Trustees by
May.
FORMER AEC SAFETY EXPERT TO DISCUSS NUCLEAR POWER
Carl J. Hocevar, former safety expert for the Atomic Energy Commission, will speak
on "Nuclear Power: Is It Safe?" at Evergreen in Lecture Hall One Feb. 5 beginning at
7:30 p.m. Sponsored by the Evergreen Speakers' Bureau, the presentation is free and open
to the public.
Hocevar, now employed by the Union of Concerned Scientists, resigned from the Atomic
Energy Commission in 1974, saying he felt the commission was ignoring advice from its experts
on reactor safety problems.
Hocevar, a mechanical engineer, developed the AEC's method of analyzing the heat-up (
of a nuclear reactor core during loss-of-collant accidents. Formerly a senior engineer
and associate scientist for the Aeroject Nuclear Company, a subcontractor to the AEC,
Hocevar was responsible for developing computer programs for the safety analyses of nuclear
reactors.

WORD ART SHOWN AT GALLERY
Word Art, an exhibit of prints, books and audio tapes, is currently on display in
the main gallery of the reference section of the Evergreen Library. The exhibit, organized
by Seattle artist Michael Waiter, is free and open to the public through Feb. 15.
Waiter, a multi-media editor and publisher and former program director for KRAB
radio in Seattle, has sought to present works that use words as art. He says the show is
organized with "mainly an American focus," but also includes an international flavor,
contributed by art works from England, Canada, France and Germany.
More than two dozen artists have been invited to submit their works to the show, which
is sponsored by the Evergreen Visual Environment Group.
DTF TO EXAMINE CO-OP PROCEDURES
Ken Donohue, director of Cooperative Education, has called a 17-member Disappearing
Task Force together to review existing Co-op Policies and Procedures "to insure that they're
consistent with our general program."
The DTF, scheduled to meet for the first time Feb. 6 at 4 p.m. in Laboratory 1023,
is charged with giving special consideration to several questions: possible guidelines for
reverse internships, limitations on the number of units a student may earn through internships, Co-op's role in locating and arranging internships for students in various study
modes, interface between Co-op and the Admissions office and between Co-op and the faculty.
Donohue asked the DTF to complete its task by March 14.
LEGISLATIVE FORUM TO EXAMINE HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
Milton Burdman, deputy superintendent of the Department of Social and Health Services,

STRUVE DRIVING VAN TO ASIAN STUDIES MEET
Faculty Member Lynn Struve will be driving a 15-person van to the Annual Conference of
the Association for Asian Studies, to be held in San Francisco March 24-26. Space on this
van will be allocated according to the following priorities: (1) Evergreen people who are
members of AAS and are paid registrants at the conference: (2) students currently engaged
in Asian studies who have a serious interest in attending the many special events that will
surround this conference:
(3) others with clear special interests in Asian studies.
Struve says some excellent panel discussions are slated for this conference, "but
these and conference exhibits will be open only to paid registrants from among the AAS
membership." Inexpensive hotel accommodations,also, are available only to student members.
Non-members will have to make their own hotel or flop-in arrangements, and will only have
access to the special events. It may be necessary to reserve some van room to transport
books and materials, so those who wish to reserve a seat should contact Struve as soon as
possible.

CO-OP REPORTS 276 INTERNED FALL QUARTER
The Office of Cooperative Education reports 276 Evergreeners served internships last
quarter. Of the 276, 126 earned an average monthly stipend of $489. For Fall Quarter, trf
paid interns gathered in $169,310
which, as Donohue points out
is a lot of
financial aid for students who are also earning academic credit.
Interns worked a total of 8,208 hours Fall Quarter. By Dec. 13, 704 students had filed
requests for internships with Co-op and 755 agencies had "committed" themselves to Evergreen's
Co-op program. By the end of the quarter there were 1,001 internships available to
Evergreen students, and salaries were offered with 254 of those internships.
ADMISSIONS ADVISORY COMMITTEE NAMED
An eight-member Advisory Committee on Admissions Applications has been created by
Provost Ed Kormondy. The committee, formed at the request of Admissions Director Ken Mayer,
will meet twice each quarter to review "occassional, unusual applications as well as some
which fall into a 'borderline' category," accordingto Kormondy. Named to the committee
for one-year terms are Faculty Members Larry Eickstaedt, Jim Gulden, Richard Jones and Maxine
Minims. Named to two-year terms are Faculty Members Gordon Beck, Nancy Chambers, Cruz
Esquivel and Rainer Hasenstab.
NEW HOURS FOR REG. CENTER POSTED

ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE CENTER OPEN FOR BUSINESS
An Evergreen Environmental Resource Center has opened for business in Library 3225.
Growing out of last quarter's Environmental Law contract, the Center researches, collects
and provides environmental information to concerned citizens. Designed and coordinated by
Evergreen students Don Blanchard. Loren Hillsberry and Chuck Albertson, the Resource
Center will provide access to the legal, technical and tactical tools required by citizens
to effectively address themselves to environmental issues.
The Center has already begun acquiring and cataloging faculty and student research.
It is also providing important data, documents and proposals on legal and technical developments in the environmental field. In addition, the Center has begun contacting individuals,
government agencies and private organizations in order to develop a two-way line of
communication and to provide access to these resources for students and others.
According to its organizers, the Center stands ready now to serve students
both
as a source of information for academic research and as a receptor for that research once
it's completed. Current student projects include Keith Denning's research on the Trident
Submarine Base and Clayton Kreager's work on Evergreen's Environmental Impact Statement.
It is hoped the research and resource functions of the center will eventually involve
publication of a quarterly journal, which could include articles by faculty members from
Washington's educational institutions, syntheses of research project developments and
applications, and presentations of analytical papers authored by students.
The Center, open Mondays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., does not yet have
a telephone, but students hope to have one installed by the middle of February.

...NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION AWARDS TESC $62,000...The National Science Foundation has
awarded Evergreen more than $62,000 for support of two science-oriented programs. The
grants, two of ten made to colleges in the State of Washington, are aimed at improving
education in elementary and secondary schools.
NSF awarded a $50,000 grant to the Evergreen-based Essentia project to fund the
second year of a three-year program. Aim of the second phase, according to project director
Bob Samples, is to expand the corps of teachers who are using Essentia produced science,
social science and humanities materials in their classrooms. Starting in February,
Essentia will introduce teachers to project materials, philosophy and strategies. A
summer conference will be held to provide an intensive 11-day training session for the
participating teachers and, next fall, Essentia staff will visit teachers in their schools,
offering them additional support in implementing the interdisciplinary educational program.
NSF also awarded a $12,362 grant to Evergreen to continue the "Precollege Instructional
Improvement Implementation Project," headed by Faculty Member Don Humphrey. The project,
initiated last Spring, aims at improving instruction in Olympia's elementary schools,
Humphrey said. Evergreen will work with the Olympia Public School District to implement
new course materials through a June workshop and a follow-up program. Humphrey said 36
area teachers and 12 Evergreen students together will study the psychological foundations,
rationales, new teaching strategies and new materials adopted by the district for implementation in ten elementary schools next fall.

HEARING BOARD ON MOSS APPOINTMENT TO RECONVENE JANUARY 27
The absense of Evergreen's Affirmative Action Officer Rindetta Jones and the lack
of information from the State Human Rights Commission lead a seven-member All Campus Hearing
Board to postpone final questions and closing statements on the dispute being waged over
the creation of a joint directorship of personnel/auxiliary services. The hearing will
resume Jan. 27 at 9:30 a.m. in Library 3112.
The dispute, first aired at the December Board of Trustees meeting, arose following
the resignation of Personnel Director Diann Youngquist and the subsequent combining of
the position with that of Director of Auxiliary Services by Administrative Vice President
Dean Clabaugh. Clabaugh filled the joint directorship with John Moss, formerly director
of Auxiliary Services.
Disputants in the hearing charged that the Moss appointment "violated both the spirit
and letter of the college's adopted Affirmative Action Plan." In a formal statement of
grievance, the disputants represented by Academic Dean Lynn Patterson, said they "believe
Clabaugh very clearly created a new position
a position which in fact had no incumbent.'
"Because of this," they said, "the filling of the position should have entailed an open,
competitive hiring process which met the guidelines of the Affirmative Action Policy."
DISPUTANTS SEEK OVERRULING OF APPOINTMENT
Patterson said the disputants wanted the board to overrule Clabaugh's appointment
and require him to either (1) maintain the two former directorships and begin a search
to recruit and hire a new director of personnel or (2) write a new job description and
begin a search to fill the new position.
Clabaugh said his "contention was that the action was a necessary one..." that "did
not represent a violation of any Affirmative Action provision..." Patterson submitted
seven pieces of evidence to the Hearing Board and called President Charles McCann and- Dean
of Student Development Programs Larry Stenberg as witnesses. Clabaugh called no witnesses
and submitted no evidence, but he did ask President McCann to read a letter from Richard
Montecucco, an assistant state attorney general assigned as the college's legal advisor.
Following a lunch recess, hearing board members asked additional questions of Clabaugh
and Patterson, agreed to publicly air and listen to the four-hour tape of the formal
mediation session which preceded the hearing, and decided to reconvene Monday (Jan. 27)
when additonal information could be obtained from Affirmative Action Officer Jones, who
was unable to attend the Tuesday hearing. Board members also hoped to have information by
Monday from the State Human Rights Commission which would, at least, clarify whether or
not the commission intends to issue a formal statement on the appointment and, if it does,
when that action will be taken.
Student Carlos Rose-White chaired the all-day hearing. Board members, besides
White, include faculty members Nancy Taylor and Steve Herman, staff members Bill Knauss,
Laura Thomas, Dan Swecker and Mac Smith.
SMITH LEAVING TO ASSUME DIRECTOR OF INDIAN FISHING COMMISSION
Financial Aid Director Bill Smith—recently elected to a new full-time position
as Executive Director of the Northwest Indian Fishing Commission—has submitted his
resignation effective Feb. 7.
Smith, named director of Financial Aid last August, says the new post was created

2.

following Federal Judge George Boldt's recent decision declaring that Washington Indians
have a right to one half of the fish caught in "their usual and .accustomed areas."
* ~
The decision, Smith says, actually reenforces and reinterprets original treaties signed \n t
Smith's new task will be to implement Boldt's decision. As Smith explained it,
there are five treaty areas within Northwestern Washington
Point No Point, Medicine
Creek, Point Elliot, Makah and Quinalt. More than 20 Indian tribes are represented in
these areas. Each tribe chose a chairman of its fishing committee, who in turn met to
elect a commissioner from each of the five treaty areas. Those five commissioners then
elected Smith to the new post.
Smith, formerly a financial aid counselor at Evergreen, is chairman of the 600-member
Skokomish Tribe near Shelton and is also chairman of the tribe's economic development
committee which oversees the board of the Skokomish sea food processing plant. Unlike
each of the five commissioners, Smith says, he is not a fisherman but was hired because
of his administrative experience, which the commissioners feel will be invaluable in
establishing the new commission.
Part of Smith's task will be to develop and implement a new data processing system
to moniter catches of all fishermen
Native American and all others
so that an
accurate count of all fish being caught can be tabulated. He will be working with state
and federal governments and, says he "really hopes to break down the communication barriers
and increase levels of trust among all the fishermen and all the governmental agencies
involved in the complex fishing problem."
TWO MORE NSF GRANTS = $62,000
The National Science Foundation has awarded Evergreen more than $62,000 for support
of two science-oriented programs. The grants, two of ten made to colleges in the State
of Washington, are aimed at improving education in elementary and secondary schools.
/
NSF awarded a $50,000 grant to the Evergreen-based Essentia project to fund the
second year of a three-year program. Aim of the second phase, according to project director
Bob Samples, is to expand the corps of teachers who are using Essentia produced science,
social science and humanities materials in their classrooms. Starting in February,
Essentia will introduce teachers in three target areas
states along the Eastern
Seaboard, West Coast and Northern Midwest and Southwest
to project materials,
philosophy and strategies. A summer conference will be held to provide an intensive 11day training session for the participating teachers and, next fall, Essentia staff will
visit teachers in their schools, offering them additional support in implementing the
interdisciplinary educational program.
NSF also awarded a $12,362 grant to Evergreen to continue the "Precollege Instructional
Improvement Implementation Project," headed by Faculty Member Don Humphrey. The project,
initiated last Spring, aims at improving instruction in Olympia's elementary schools,
Humphrey said. Evergreen will work with the Olympia Public School District to implement
new course materials through a June workshop and a follow-up program. Humphrey said 36
area teachers and 12 Evergreen students together will study the psychological foundations,
rationales, new teaching strategies and new materials adopted by the district for implementation in ten elementary schools next fall.
The grant will also support follow-up activities during the school year as Evergreen
students join Olympia teachers in presenting the new approaches to area youngsters.
PART-TIME FACULTY NAMED TO HUMAN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Etta McAfee, a former public school teacher, has been named as a Visiting Member
of the Faculty in education at Evergreen. The two-quarter appointment, announced by
Provost Ed Kormondy, is effective immediately.
Mrs. McAfee, most recently a social director for cadets at the West Point Military
Academy, has taught in public schools
from kindergarten to high school
in Mississippi,
Georgia, Kentucky, and New Jersey.

3.

and Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where she majored in education. She is assigned to
the Human Development Coordinated Studies program and has assumed the post for which
Chuck Harbaugh was being considered. Harbaugh has never responded to Evergreen's offer
of the two-quarter faculty appointment.

CIVIL RIGHTS/LABOR LEADER TO SPEAK THURSDAY
Carl Braden, a former Kentucky journalist and longtime activist in the nation's
labor and civil rights movements, will present a public address on The Right to Organize
at Evergreen Jan. 30 beginning at 3:30 p.m. in the main lobby of the Library. Braden,
currently national co-chairman of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political
Repression and director of the Southern Institute for Propaganda and Organizing, worked
as a newspaper and magazine writer from 1930 to 1954.
Following efforts by he and his wife Anne, to help a black family move into a white
suburb of Louisville, Kentucky in 1954, Braden was accused of and convicted for "trying
to overthrow the government of Kentucky and the United States." He served eight months of
a 15-year sentence before the verdict was reversed by a higher court and he was freed.
Braden went to jail again in 1961, following conviction for contempt of Congress,
which occured after he refused to testify about his activities before the House Unamerican
Activities Committee.
Braden's address, sponsored by a group of Evergreen students, is free and open to
the public.
BARNES NAMED TO NATIONAL ARTS INTERNSHIP

The National Alliance for Arts Education has selected Evergreen as one of three
colleges in the nation to participate in its newly organized internship program.
Academic Dean Charles Teske said the Alliance, based at the John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts in Washington, D. C., has selected an Evergreen senior, Doug Barnes,
of Salem, Oregon, as one of the first four interns ever sponsored by the national organization.
Barne's tasks during his three-month stay in the nation's capital, will include:
helping the Alliance staff manage its offices and coordinate its activities at the
Kennedy Center; helping coordinate the American College Theater Festival; participating
in Alliance state, regional and national meetings and projects; and becoming fully acquainted
with all aspects and departments of the Kennedy Center.
Teske said the appointment affords Barnes
and students from George Washington
University and the University of Maryland
"a unique and invaluable opportunity to
assist the Alliance in providing an interchange between the Kennedy Center and other
regions of the nation." He said the three student interns will help establish an innovative arts education program and will also participate in seminars with staff members of
the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington.
Barnes, 21, has studied photography, creative writing, drawing and arts management
at Evergreen, and has worked as an arts technician at the college in addition to helping
organize the Thurston Regional Arts Council.
SLALOM RACES DRAW FOUR GEODUCKS
Four Evergreeners recently competed in the college's first Kayak and Kanu races held
in the CRC pool Jan 11. Oaring against 20 competitors from throughout Western Washington
and British Columbia, Evergreeners Fred Hiltner, James Koon and Brian Hayes took first,
second and fourth places, respectively, in the Kayak novice race, while Chris Walters,
organizer of the event, took second place in the single-man canoe races. First place
in that race went to Bill Griffith, Canadian National Champion. Walters also took second
place in the two-person canoe races with teammate Bruce Furrer of Seattle. Walters
later joined forces with Griffith and Canadian Erick Munshaw to take second place in the
team races, which featured three boats (kayaks or kanus) per team.

EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS
December graduate Carolyn Mclntyre of Bellevue reports she and fellow graduate John
Hartung are operating the Sailing Equipment Warehouse in Olympia. She says the two of them
developed the business as students "in order to have something going when we graduated."
"This business," she adds, "is turning out to be quite successful for us.." The business
is "the largest sailboard equipment mail order firm in the Northwest."
Another recent Evergreen graduate Johanna Nitzke, who served as student coordinator
of the Information Center and the Women's Commission, has been appointed to administer
Washington's new program of developing art works primarily funded by set asides for
public capital improvement projects. She says one-half of one percent of all state building
appropriations now are reserved for the arts and it's her job to help distribute that money,
select juries, and work with museums. She also says she "loves the job."
Student Bill Hirshman, formerly editor of the Cooper Point Journal, has been named
to the Publications Board, which oversees publication of that weekly newspaper. Bill
replaces Kathy Rich. And, Evergreen graduate Kas Zoller writes he is presently, temporarily
managing a Baskin-Robbins store in New York.
Faculty Member Mary Nelson is recuperating from a massive nerve paralysis suffered
last Fall. She hopes to return to work full-time Spring Quarter. In the meantime,
Faculty Member Dave Hitchens is filling in for her the month of January. Faculty Member
Al Wiedemann is currently on a one-quarter leave of absense in Australia. Faculty Member
Steve Herman brought Evergreen into national news this month when the Wall Street Journal

Quarter student body and, in two years, earned her second bachelor's degree, this time in
political science.
An active member of the League of Women Voters at the local, state and county levels,
Rep. Lee has served as a legislative lobbyist for league-supported issues

another first
EVERGREEN GRAB A FIRST-TERM LEGISLATOR
Eleanor Lee first graduated from college in 1951 with a major in home economics.
But, she says, "I always wanted to study political science. But then, people thought it
was a useless subject for a woman to study." Twenty years later she came back to college
as a member of Evergreen's first Fall Quarter student body to earn her bachelor's degree in
political science. Today, she's testing that learning in the Washington State Legislature—
as Evergreen's first graduate elected to the House of Representatives.
A Republican from the 33rd district in Southwest King County, Mrs. Lee says she came
to Evergreen after exploring educational possibilities at the University of Washington.
"I wanted to do graduate work in political science." she says. "But the people at the U.
insisted I first had to take a number of lower division courses. So I decided to first
come to Evergreen and earn another bachelor's degree, and then perhaps enroll in graduate
school."
Mrs. Lee, who enrolled in contracted studies with former Faculty Member Peter Robinson
and later with Nancy Taylor, says she developed a paper on lobbying in the legislature
which required considerable interviewing and research at the Capitol Dome. During the 1973
Legislative Session she helped organize the Citizens' Headquarters, Olympia, Washington
(CHOW) for citizen lobby groups which, alone, could not afford to establish a headquarters.
She also worked with Evergreen's Citizen Action Network, which she recalls was "very instructive".
Before entering Evergreen, Mrs. Lee had been active in the League of Women Voters at
the local, county and state levels, and had served as a legislative lobbyist for leaguesupported issues. She was also the first chairman of the Puget Sound Air Quality Coalition,
now a state-wide organization. In addition, she and her husband, David, ran their own
business, serving as representatives for industrial manufacturers who develop instruments
to measure temperature, pressure and liquid levels. They've also reared three daughters:
Virginia, now married; Phyllis, a junior studying philosophy at Evergreen; and Marcia,
a senior at Highline High School.
Interviewed the second day of the 1975 session, Mrs. Lee, who has been named minority
chairman of the House Parks and Recreation Committee, says she's had a chance to discuss
Evergreen with some of her Republican colleagues. She's found that many of them have come
in contact with Evergreen students from their districts and are hearing more and more
positive comments about the college. And, she indicates, she's more than willing to add
a few positive comments of her own before this legislature adjourns.
FOUR NOMINATED FOR DEANSHIP
Four male faculty members have accepted nominations for the academic deanship currently
held by Charles Teske. The four
Richard Alexander, Leo Daugherty, Bud Johanson and Stan
Klyn
have submitted their Personal Qualification Folders for review by the Evergreen
community. Those folders, which were released Jan. 14, will remain available at the reference desk in the Evergreen Library through Jan. 24. Faculty Member William Winden
declined nomination to the post.
Faculty Member Bob Filmer, chairman of the Dean Screening Disappearing Task Force, said
his group will begin reviewing the folders and interviewing the nominees Jan. 25 and, by
Feb. 14 will submit three names to Vice President and Provost Ed Kormondy. Kormondy is
expected to select the new dean, who will assume office in June, by Feb. 28.

2.

The dean selected to replace Teske, who has served in that post for the past four
years, must be able to give "proper balance of talent and experience to the remaining
f
Deans' team" (which includes Lynn Patterson, whose field is anthropology, Willie Parson
biology, and Rudy Martin, English), Filmer said. The nominees for Teske's position, must,
therefore, show particular strength in the arts "sufficient to give and receive competent
advice, though it is not necessary for the person to be an artist." A brief resume of the
four candidates follows:
Richard Alexander: An original member of the faculty planning group, Alexander arrived
at Evergreen in September, 1970, after having taught at San Jose State and Knox Colleges.
He has taught in the Human Development (1971-72) and the Japan and the West (1972-73)
Coordinated Studies Programs, The Classics,
a group contract, (1973-74), and is currently
teaching in the Towards Humane Technospheres Coordinated Studies Program. Alexander earned
his doctorate in 17th century English at the University of Illinois, his master's degree
from Tulane University and his bachelor's degree from Emory University, both with majors
in English.
Leo Daugherty, who joined the faculty in September, 1972, taught at Wisconsin State
University, Frederick College and the University of Virginia. He also served as director
of a VISTA program in Norfolk, Virginia for two years. Daugherty has taught in the Human
Development, Dreams and Poetry (of which he was coordinator) and Responses to Human Document
Coordinated Studies programs. He has also sponsored individual contracts. Daugherty earned
his bachelor's degree in English and art from Western Kentucky University, his master's
degree in English from the University of Arkansas, and his doctorate in American literature
from East Texas State University. He has also completed post doctoral study in linguistics
at Harvard.
Bud Johanson, who also joined the Evergreen faculty in September, 1972, as a parttime instructor, became full-time in 1973 when he taught in the Theater Dance Coordinated
Group contract. He currently coordinates the Interplay Coordinated Studies Program.
Johanson taught at the College of Saint Teresa in Winona, Minnesota; has developed, directed
choreographed for and toured a number of ballet companies; directed the Southern Minnesota
Ballet, and taught at Viterbo College in LaCrosse,Wisconsin. He attended the Andahazy Schoo
of Classical Ballet in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Stan Klyn came to Evergreen in the Fall of 1972 after four years of teaching arts and
engineering at Lower Columbia College. Klyn also taught part-time at San Jose College,
where he earned his bachelor's degree in engineering and his master of science degree
in mechanial engineering. Klyn, who is currently in Rome with the International Film Group
Contract, taught individual contracts during the 1972-73 academic year and served as coordin
ator of the Form and Function Coordinated Studies program last year. He has received a
professional leave for Spring Quarter to study contemporary art of southern and southeastern
Europe.
For further information on any of the nominees, stop by the reference desk and examine
their folders. The DTF will welcome all comments or suggestions you may have on any or all
of the nominees.
HEARING PENDING TO AIR MOSS APPOINTMENT
A seven-member Campus Hearing Board is expected to convene early next week to review
the dispute over Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh's appointment of John Moss
to Director of Personnel. The dispute, first aired at the December Board meeting, was the
topic of an informal mediation conducted by Academic Dean WflLie Parson Jan. 9. Following
the afternoon mediation, Parson issued a memorandum declaring the session "ended in an impass
both parties agreed that each attended in good faith, and that the mediation session was
conducted in the spirit of the COG II document." He recommended that "further steps be
taken as recommended in COG II."
(
At press time, Rita Grace, secretary to President Charles McCann, said one permanent
hearing board member (to replace Faculty Member Russ Lidman) and four temporary panel member
(two representing each of the disputants) remained to be selected. She said once the panel
is selected, its members will be responsible for selecting a date, time and place for the
hearing. Grace also indicated that there was "hope" the hearing could be completed before
the Jan. 23 Board of Trustees meeting.

EVERGREEN SENDS 11 LEGISLATIVE INTERNS TO THE HILL
Eleven Evergreeners are currently working as full-time interns for the Washington
State Legislature, according to Ken Donohue, director of the college's Office of Cooperative
Education. Students earn full academic credit for the unpaid internships, which last the
duration of the 1975 legislative session.
Assigned to the Legislature are Andrew Gripe, a Spokane junior, who is working for
Senator Alan Bluechel of Kirkland and Senator Kent Pullen of Kent; Dave Knutson, a junior
from Everett, who is working for Representative A. A. Adams of Tacoma; Michael Mason, a
Federal Way senior assigned to Representatives Paul Conner of Sequim and Eugene Laughlin
of Camas; Kirk Matteson, a Mercer Island senior assigned to Representative Eleanor Lee of
Seattle; Christina Meserve, a Bellevue senior assigned to Representative Bonn Charnley of
Seattle.
John Moore, a Pocatello, Idaho junior assigned to Senator John Murray of Seattle;
Randy Ray, a Pasco senior assigned to Senator John Jones of Bellevue; Amelia Stacey, an
Olympia sophomore, assigned to Representatives John Hendricks of Olympia and Jeanette Hayner
of Walla Walla; Douglas Taylor, a Seattle junior assigned to Representative Ron Hanna of
Tacoma; and Jerald Weiner, an Aberdeen junior, assigned to Representative Robert Charette
of Aberdeen.
TENTH DAY CLASS COUNT REFLECTS INCREASE
Tentative figures released Jan. 15 from the Registrar's
Office show approximately 2,225 students enrolled Winter Quarter.
Registrar Walker Allen says the figure, subject to change, compares with 2,146 students enrolled in Winter Quarter, 1974.
MORE THAN 200 ENROLL IN MODS
More than 200 Evergreeners have enrolled for the dozen Winter Quarter modular study
programs, according to tentative figures gathered Jan. 13 at the Registrar's Office.
Drawing the largest number of students is the Mathematics for the Uninclined modular
taught by Richard Brian, which attracted 41 students. Other modulars and the number of
students enrolled include: Introduction to Organic Chemistry by Michael Beug, 36; Environmental Law by Oscar Soule. 25; Basic Ecology by Ed Kormondy, 24; Autobiographical Writing
by Earle McNeil, 22; Stage Lighting by Keith Smith, 17; Pre-Calculus Mathematics by Susan
Jones, 17; Philosophy of Science by Will Humphreys, 16; Calculus with Analytic Geometry
by Charlie Lyons, 14; Introductory Physics by Lee Anderson, 11; Nepali Language by Willie
Unsoeld, 8; and Practice in Interpretation by Thad Curtz, 3.
A preliminary examination of the figures shows that by far the greatest percentage of
students enrolled in the modulars are full-time Evergreeners who are auditing the onequarter academic programs.
MOUNTAIN SKI "RESORT" READY FOR EVERGREENERS

NEXT WINTER

Thanks to the efforts of Evergreen junior Chuck Shelton, ski and hiking enthusiasts
will have their own mountain retreat come next Fall. In a unique agreement with Crystal
Mountain management, Shelton has arranged for Evergreen to obtain
rent free
a
two-year lease on a small, rustic cabin 45 minutes (by car) from Sunrise at Mt. Rainier.
The cabin, which will sleep ten students plus two student caretakers, will be open
weekends on a year round basis by next Fall, according to Shelton. With direct access to
alpine and cross country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking and climbing, the cabin is accessible
in the winter only by skiing. As yet, it has no electricity, no running water, and is
heated by a wood stove. But, by the time the facility is ready, much of that will
change.
Shelton, after a year's work with the management of Crystal Mountain, has agreed to
oversee remodeling work on the facility. Electricity will be obtained from a hookup to
the chairlift, a chemical outhouse will be built, the cabin's woodshed will be expanded,

the exterior walls of the cabin will be refinished, the indoor floors carpeted, cabinets
built, new furniture installed, and a self-contained interior fireplace will replace the
woodstove. Funds for the remodeling will, Shelton hopes, come from Services and Activities
Fees.
Money to finance operation of the cabin will come from user fees
at $2 per night
and $1 per meal. The cabin will be open every weekend from 3 p.m. Friday to 3 p.m. Sunday.
Reservations for its use will be made through the College Recreation Center, and two student caretakers will be responsible for maintaining the facility, cooking two meals a day
(breakfast and dinner) and enforcing necessary regulations, such as prohibitions against
smoking or drinking in the cabin, which is located on state property.
Shelton says work on the project cannot begin until the snow melts in late Spring
as the cabin is currently buried. But he plans a busy Summer of remodeling so Evergreeners
can take to the hills
and their own "resort" next Fall.
OFFICE OF COLLEGE RELATIONS TAKES FIVE AWARDS
Evergreen's Office of College Relations recently received two first places, two seconds
and an honorable mention in the Washington State Information Council's annual awards
competition.
Director of Information Services Dick Nichols captured first place for the best newsletter of the air. Nichols edits and records two weekly news programs aired on Olympia's
KGY and KITN radio stations and on Chehalis' KITI radio. The College Relations Office also
received first place in still photography for five photos taken by Photo Services staffers
Woody Hirzel and Stew Tilger.
Information Officer Judy Annis received a second place award for her photo news feature
on Board of Trustees member Trueman Schmidt (photos taken by Tilger) and Nichols took
second place for his brochure, Once Over Lightly, done in cooperation with Evergreen's
Graphics Department. Annis also received honorable mention for her weekly on-campus newsletter.

TWO NEW SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE
A $1,500 scholarship from the Fred G. Zahn Fund and a $300 scholarship from the
Seattle Professional Chapter of Women in Communications are being offered to Evergreen

SALARY DTF TO AIR REPORT TODAY
Results of a consulting firm's evaluation of pay rates for Evergreen's exempt administrative staff members will be discussed today during an afternoon meeting of the Salary
disappearing Task Force, according to Chairman Jerry Schillinger. The meeting will begin
at 3 p.m. in the Board of Trustees room, third floor of the Library Building. The salary
study was undertaken at the request of the DTF by Norman D. Willis and Associates of Seattle,
a firm which has completed numerous similar surveys throughout the Pacific Northwest and
which primarily specializes in such analyses.

Objective of the survey, according to the Willis report, "was to analyze the internal
alignments within the exempt administrative salary structure, to assess the appropriatness
of the relationships of all positions to one another as they are ranked in the college's f
grid of salary ranges, and to recommend realignments where necessary to reflect equity
based on evaluated position content." Neither the development of a salary administration
system nor recommendation of externally competitive salary levels were included in the assignment, although—for information purposes only—the report includes charts showing comparable pay scales in private companies and public administration.
Recommendations on realignment of positions—some upward, some downward—between
salary ranges were based on applying three factors
knowledge and skills, mental demands,
and accountability
to a sophisticated mathematical formula, with a subsequent ranking of
positions by accumulated points. Criteria for measurement was developed through the consult
firm's examination of exempt job descriptions, interviews with management officials, and
review of preliminary position evaluations with top college administrators.
The report examined only exempt administrative positions themselves rather than lookin
at the 45 persons holding those jobs or their current rates of compensation. Although the
report calls for moving some positions upward or downward between ranges, it also recommend
that "no salaries be decreased as a result of the findings."
Schillinger says that following the today's meeting, the DTF—probably by early next
week—will forward its final report for review by President Charles J. McCann, who then wil
submit recommendations to the Board of Trustees. Trustees would be asked to approve the ne
salary guidelines for inclusion in the Evergreen Administrative Code. Actual salary adjustments depend on the availability of funds as appropriated by the Legislature, which
begins its 1975 session next week.

DTF TO EXAMINE EXPANSION OF STAFF EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS
Vice President Dean Clabaugh has named a ten-member Disappearing Task Force to develop/
and recommend guidelines for reimbursing Evergreen staff members for costs of job-related ^
credit taken at other institutions. The new DTF is scheduled to convene today (Jan. 10)
at 3 p.m. in Library 3121, and has been asked to deliver a final report for the March or
April Board of Trustees meeting.
Clabaugh said the college is hoping to expand opportunities for staff development by
inaugerating an educational benefits program which will reimburse employees for job-related
educational credit earned at other institutions. He said the fiscal impact of such a progra
"may be very high" and cautioned DTF members to "spell out guidelines very carefully."
One proposal to be examined by the new DTF suggests that Evergreen "encourage professional development by reimbursing employees up to 50 percent of the cost of tuition and
books following successful completion of job-related professional development." The reimbursements would be drawn from the vice presidents' reserves following approval by the
employee's budgetary unit head and the appropriate vice president.
Named to the DTF are Faculty Members Naomi Greenhut and Tom Foote, staff members
Judy Dresser, Rindy Jones , Ken Mayer , Lynn Patterson and Kikuko Kobata, and students George
Voyce, Nancy Ann Baldock and Jonathan Stephens. Clabaugh has asked the DTF to consider
him a resource person, along with Business Manager Ken Winkley , Director of Personnel/
Auxiliary Services John Moss and Provost Ed Kormondy .

increase becomes decrease
GOVERNOR'S OPERATING REQUEST UNVEILED
Governor Daniel J. Evans' proposed $17,511,654 1975-77 operating budget for Evergreen,
while up 21.8 percent from the total appropriated for 1973-75, actually represents an
increase over the current (1974-75) rate of spending of $938,098, with essentially all
of it earmarked for an enrollment boost of 200 students each year. The governor's budget,
scheduled for presentation to the Legislature in mid-January, thus amounts to an effective
decrease in college support services, according to presentations by Evergreen deans and
directors during a special campus hearing December 23.
The $17,511,654 request includes $4,427,154 in college-generated tuition and fees
and various grants and contracts, with $13,084,500 proposed for appropriation from the
state general fund, compared to $11,827,410 from state sources during 1973-75.
The governor's request also includes new state-financed capital appropriations for
Evergreen of $375,000, another $1,738,202 of college-generated funds, and $10,727,000
in reappropriations for projects already under way and scheduled for completion during
1975-77 for a grand total of $12,840,202. The $375,000 in new state funds would provide
$250,000 for working drawings on Phase II of the College Recreation Center and $125,000
for campus site improvements work. The $1,738,202 of college-generated funds would
cover Phase II of the Activities Building. Reappropriations would finance costs of
Phase II of the Laboratory Building and the Communications Building.
TENTATIVE IMPACTS REVIEWED
The December 23 hearing was intended as part of a several-month planning process which
will not end until the Legislature has taken final action on the college's new operating
budget, "Figures generated for this discussion were clearly part of an exercise to find
out where we're hurting and the details of the hurt for communication to the Legislature,"
President Charles McCann said at the conclusion. "Eventually, depending on the final
budget, we probably will have to allocate our funds in a very different manner, arriving
at different sets of figures within a set of college-wide priorities."
Deans and directors were asked to take target preliminary allocation figures—based on
the governor's budget as compared to current levels of operation—reduce them by five
percent for possible institutional reserves and adjustments, and present information to
the president and vice presidents regarding the net effect on all college operations,
realizing that adjustments will be required whether the governor's request stands or
is altered by the Legislature.
At that tentative level, here's a thumbnail sketch of the impact of the governor's
budget—again remembering no final decisions have been made and that the figures well
may change as the planning process unfolds and real 1975-77 appropriations become clear:
Administration and General Expense—The governor's request asks an increase of $19,468
over today's rate of expenditure. However, the total includes $67,000 in unemployment
compensation funds not included in current levels of spending, does not include funds
for payment of mandated classified staff salary increments, and does not include money
for increased inflationary costs for postage, telephones, and other services. The net
effect is a reduction of current services with a potential impact of eight less fulltime equivalent staff positions in each year of the new biennium.
Student Services (including Admissions and Registrar)—-The governor's request asks for
a cut of $151,918 from current-level spending, including elimination of Recreation and

2.

Campus Activities and some other currently-funded operations as "non-comparable" (or
outside formulas generated for so-called equitable funding levels between public-supported (
institutions of higher learning) items. The net effect—including absorbing Recreation
and Campus Activities within the formula and possibly funding portions of it within other
parts of the operating budget—would involve reduced services, potential loss of 5.17
full-time equivalent Student Development Programs staff and possible movement of other
members of that staff to ten and 11-month working status.
INCREASES DECEPTIVE
Plant Operations—The governor's request asks an increase of ,$297,304, which is not
enough to cover increasing fixed costs over which the college has no control such as
utilities (oil, natural gas, electricity), a new contract with the McLane Fire District,
a new contract for operating the Utilities Plant buildings monitoring system, and
increased charges for elevator operations. In addition, two new buildings will be on
the line in the next biennium, an eight percent increase in total space to be operated
and maintained. The net effect is another cut from current levels of service.
Library—The governor's request asks for an increase of $180,000, all basically
earmarked for book purchases. The request at the same time calls for a manpower reduction
of about 13 full-time equivalent staff, placing drains on services across the board,
jeopardizing the ability to provide media services for a new Communications Building, and
forcing a look at placing some staff on 10 and 11-month working contracts. Media, academic
and other support services could be severely curtailed under the essentially formula-level
request.
Instruction—The governor's request asks for an increase of $984,528, earmarked to
support a 200-student enrollment increase each year of the new biennium. However, the
request also calls for the assumption for the first time of the collegers Cooperative
Education program within interinstitutional formula support levels, reduces the scope
of Summer Quarter, and eliminates requested funding for public events money. And, if a
(
set aside of five percent for institutional reserves remains intact, the student/faculty
ratio could possibly rise from 18-to-l to 19-to-l because reserved funds would cut into
money available to hire new instructors.
Computing—The governor's request asks a cut of $392,094 from current levels of
expenditure which if it stands, would force major reductions in services and a possible
full-time equivalent staff reduction of two positions.
After listening to nearly four hours of budget problems on a unit-by-unit basis, President
McCann began sifting through the mass of information to fully prepare himself for the
crucial Legislative process which will determine Evergreen's fate in the 1975-77 biennium.
YOUNG TAKEN BY HEART ATTACK
Dr. Frederick H. Young. 57, the first person named as a member of the Evergreen faculty

dispute aired at BOT meeting

FORMAL MEETING SET BETWEEN CLABAUGH AND GROUP SEEKING REVERSAL OF MOSS APPOINTMENT
by judy annis
A formal mediation between Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh and some members
of the Evergreen faculty, staff and student body is scheduled to begin at approximately 9 a.m.
Thursday (Jan. 9) as a result of agreements reached at the Dec. 12 Board of Trustees meeting.
The dispute centers on Clabaugh's appointment of Director of Auxiliary Services John
Moss to assume the dual directorship of both Auxiliary Services and Personnel, following the
Nov. 30 resignation of Director of Personnel Diann Youngquist.
Aired in a lively discussion at the December Board of Trustees meeting, the dispute
was introduced by Evergreen Faculty Member Hap Freund. Freund, a former St. Louis attorney,
charged that when Clabaugh appointed Moss to the dual directorship he had, in effect,
created a new position and had filled it without opening applications to non-whites and women.
Freund displayed a letter from Jim Carroll of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare Office in Seattle which, Freund said, labeled Clabaugh's decision a "violation of the
law." Freund also felt the decision by Clabaugh and the way in which it was done constituted
a violation of the spirit of Evergreen's Affirmative Action Policy.
"..A SERIOUS MORALE PROBLEM.."
Carrying signatures of "about 150" Evergreen faculty, staff and students who sought
reversal of the appointment, Freund asked all those in the Board room who agreed with him
to stand. Nearly everyone did. He then pointed out that the position of Director of
Personnel was "a critical" one and that "to make an appointment in this manner...creates
a serious morale problem." He added that combining the jobs
thereby effectively eliminating a staff position
as a hedge against potential budget cuts in the 1975-77
biennium "should not be a matter of consideration." Freund also charged that the decision
"subverts the RIF (Reduction in Force) policy" and said he felt that "attempts to go
through the internal grievance procedures had been stalled."
President Charles McCann suggested that appropriate steps for resolution of the dispute are outlined in the college governance document. He said that formal mediation ought
to be scheduled. Then, if need be, an all-campus hearing board could be called. Then,
McCann said, if the dispute is still not resolved, it could go before the Board of Trustees
which would
as always
serve as a court of final appeals.
McCann also indicated that "all facts about this case" could not be shared until
the Governor's proposed 1975-77 budget request to the Legislature is announced Dec. 19.
Clabaugh, he said, made the appointment after considering the possibility of budget cuts.
McCann said he was consulted on the appointment and "at the time it seemed there had been
an appropriate amount of consultation."
Clabaugh indicated he would rescind the decision "if it were in violation of the law"
as determined by the Washington State Attorney General's Office, Evergreen's legal advisor.
In that case, he said, "mediation would not be necessary."
"...DECISION SETS DANGEROUS PRECEDENT..."
Affirmative Action Officer Rindy Jones said that "such a decision sets a generally
dangerous precedent." She said she had contacted the HEW Office and had also asked for an
opinion on the appointment from the State Human Rights Commission. She also noted that 73.2
per cent of officials and managers at Evergreen are white males. Counselor Le^ Roi Smith
said he felt the appointment was "obviously a violation of the spirit of affirmative action."
He added that if the budget cuts were a possibility, those cuts would make the appointment
to director of personnel a "very crucial decision," and said that if there "is, indeed,
administrative fat, it's the director of auxiliary services position, not director of personnel ."

Board of Trustees Chairman Tom Dixon of Tacoma said he thought "the process was wrong,
the decision was wrong. I will sign the petition," he added. "And, if the matter is not
settled by mediation and if it comes back to the board, I will vote against that decision."
Trustee Herb Hadley of Longview suggested that Evergreen allow the governance document to

6.

stand and schedule mediation after the Governor's budget is released Dec. 19. "Then, if
need be, the issue could come back to the Board at its next meeting," he added. Trustee
Janet Tourtellote of Seattle agreed with Hadley.
Sally Hunter, assistant to the provost, said
Jan. 9 had been set as the day for
mediation and Academic Dean Willie Parson had agreed to serve as mediator. Board members
eventually agreed to wait until grievance procedures were completed. Then, if no
successful end to the dispute had been reached, they said they would hear the issue at their
January meeting.
Board members postponed their Jan. 9 meeting date to allow time for mediation to take
place. Then, board members agreed, if a successful resolution to the dispute has not been
reached, they will become involved at their Jan. 23 meeting.
EXTERNAL CREDIT FEE SCHEDULE SET
A fee schedule covering application for and receipt of external credit was adopted by
the Evergreen Board of Trustees at its December meeting. The new schedule, effective
immediately, set $25 as the application fee and established a $20-per-unit fee for any
credit award. The per-unit fee is the same as that currently charged for students who audit
programs at the rate of one unit per quarter. It covers the costs of assessing, evaluating
and processing credit. The application fee covers the cost of pre-counseling, mailing and
processing.
In a brief presentation to the Board, Academic Dean Lynn Patterson said eight students
prepared external credit documentation Fall Quarter and six were actually awarded external
credit. She said the policies governing award of external credit were developed after more
than a year of work by a Disappearing Task Force and that the guidelines were "conservative."
Students may obtain up to one year of Evergreen credit for demonstrated understanding of work
or study accomplished before they enrolled at Evergreen.
/
Patterson cited two examples of students who received external credit for their learning
experiences outside Evergreen. One Tacoma woman had worked for several years as a trainer in
homemaker services for the Department of Social and Health Services. In the process she had
received extensive training and had then trained others to do similar work. Another woman ha
worked with children who suffered from learning disabilities and had written guidelines for
aiding such children. The guidelines are now being used by teaching professionals.
Patterson said most of those who have applied for external credit had worked in what
she called "helping professions."
INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS POPULAR STUDY MODE
One-fourth of the Fall Quarter Evergreen study body carried Individual Contracts involving a total of 87 faculty and 24 staff members. In a report delivered to the December
Board of Trustees meetings Academic Dean Charles Teske said that Evergreen is "doing for
one-fourth of our students what other schools do only for the very elite of their student
body."
Teske said that of the 87 faculty members who sponsored individual contracts, 17 were
assigned full-time to the Individual Contract Pool and eight were also providing modular
courses. He said the faculty sponsored 577 individual study agreements equal to 2,198
credits. Teske also reported that 24 staff members sponsored 92 individual contracts equal
to 348 credits. Ands he noted, the average number of individual contracts per staff
member was 3.8; per faculty member, 6.6.
BANQUET PERMIT PROCEDURES TOPIC OF JAN. 23 HEARING
A public bearing to formalize the procedures to be used when applying for banquet
permits, which allow serving of alcoholic beverages on campus, will be held as part of the
next Evergreen Board of Trustees meeting, set for Jan. 23.
The procedures
introduced at the December Board meeting
comply with the State
Liquor Control Board's decision last summer to allow state colleges and universities (except
the University of Washington) to apply for liquor licenses in the same manner as any other

7.
sector of the state.
The proposed Evergreen procedures, which deal only with the request for banquet permits,
would require that all sections of a new application form be completed and signed (by either
the Dean of Student Development Programs, Director of Auxiliary Services of Director of
Recreation and Campus Activities) two days before a scheduled event or two days before release of information on the event, whichever comes first. The procedures clearly assign
responsibility for dispensing alcoholic beverages to persons 21 years of age or older and
require that those persons assure that no one under 21 years of age is served.
The procedures also state that the general public will be excluded from events for which
a banquet permit has been issued and that the liquor will not be sold for cash, script,
tickets, etc., in other words, the only charges that can be levied are for admittance to
the function. Drinks can not be sold individually. And, no BYOB (bring your own bottle)
functions will be permitted.
Dean of Student Development Programs Larry Stenberg told the Trustees that Evergreen
will not attempt to establish an on-campus pub until a survey of the community has been
taken and all aspects of such an establishment have been weighed.
The hearing, to be held in the Board room (Library 3112) has been tentatively set for
11 a.m. Jan. 23.
BOARD TO EXAMINE EIS PROCEDURES,TOO

Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh reports that he will ask the Board of
Trustees
via President Charles McCann
to adopt at the January meeting a series of
procedural steps for environmental review of proposed capital projects at Evergreen. The
proposed procedures were recommended to Clabaugh by an Environmental Impact Statement/
Master Plan Disappearing Task Force, formed after an early 1974 disagreement over the
college E.I.S. covering location of the Communications Laboratory Building.
The DTF, chaired by Faculty Member Richard Cellarius. proposed and Clabaugh accepted a
plan for thorough prior campus review when "the Office of Facilities or another unit on
campus begins to consider taking an action which might affect the environment (e.g., revising the Master Plan, construction of a new building or recreation facility, adding to an
existing facility, landscaping, grounds maintenance policies, and utilities modification)."
The procedures call for early submission of capital project plans to the college Environmental Advisory Committee for review, possible alteration, and recommendation to the Administrative Vice President on the need for an Environmental Impact Statement. Committee
recommendations would be accompanied by a written report to campus communications media and
a review at the next Sounding Board meeting. The Administrative Vice President would decide
whether an E.I.S. is required, with that decision subject to appeal through college governance
mechanisms.
If an E.I.S. is not required, the responsible college official
the Director of
Facilities or other individual designated by the Administrative Vice President
would
prepare a negative declaration under guidelines developed by the State Department of
Ecology in 1972. In addition, a 30-day waiting period between a decision not to prepare an
E.I.S. and approval by the Board of Trustees, advertising for bids, or start of the project,
whichever comes first, would be required. In case of an emergency, the 30-day waiting period
may be waived by the committee and/or its chairone.
Should an E.I.S. be required, it would be prepared by the college person designated
as the "responsible official," in consort with the advisory committee and other "appropriate
individuals" under guidelines of the State Environmental Policy Act and Department of
Ecology regulations. After a draft E.I.S. is developed, it would become available for
public comment within a 30-day review period, followed by a public hearing if requested by
the Environmental Committee or "at the request of any person." Afterwards, both the draft
E.I.S. and the project itself would be reviewed and be subject to recommended changes by
the Environmental Committee. At this point, "the appropriate administrator" or Board of
Trustees could make a final decision on a project, with approval at the Board level accompanie
by documentation of the E.I.S. review process. Appeals of final decisions would be subject
to college governance procedures.
Once a final decision was reached, the final environmental impact statement would be
prepared by the "responsible official" and public notice given as required by state law. The
project then could be started, advertised for bids, or submitted to the governor and Legislature for funding, as appropriate.

SEATTLE YACHTSMAN ENJOYING DREAM COME TRUE

Robert Perry describes what he does as "basking in my dreams come true." The 28-year\d
Seattleite draws, races and dreams yachts. And now he's also going to share his dreams with
80 Evergreen students and 4 faculty members in the Marine History and Crafts study program.
Assigned the task of helping students design a 38-foot sailing, combination fishing
craft, Perry says he's been in love with yachts since the eighth grade. Two years after he
sailed from his native Australia to Seattle at the age of 12, Perry completed a term paper on
sailing vessels. He also decided, right then and there, he was going to be a yacht designer.
Now one of the Puget Sound's three independent yacht designers, Perry says he spent
every spare moment in his junior and senior high school years drafting plans for yachts and
acquiring the tools of his future trade. By the time he graduated from Mercer Island High
School, he was offered a job as a full-time draftsman. But Perry wanted more than that. He
wanted a shop of his own where he could explore the length and breadth of his creativity.
ACADEMIC MAJOR DIDN'T APPLY
So Perry enrolled in Seattle University as an engineering student. There he discovered
little opportunity for applying his academic major to his life long dream. "Naval architectur
as taught at most universities is the study of ship design," he says. "It excludes the
empirical art/science of yacht design."
He stuck with mechanical engineering two years before he discovered philosophy and liter
ature were more to his liking. Finally, 22 hours short of graduation, he left college to see
professional development on his own. Perry spent seven months in Seattle at Marine Weight
Control and in July of 1969 he began working for a Seattle yacht designer. After a few
months he struck out on his own again and spent 18 more months self employed. He says he
managed to land four custom designs and numerous consulting jobs which "gave me the opportuni
to follow through complete design projects on my own. I began, then, to feel I could call my
self a yacht designer."
He offered his talents to a local designer for two more years. There his work spanne^
the range from 12-foot dingies to a 100-foot charter yacht. He sought more independent work
after that job and designed three 50-foot power cruisers for Vic Frank's yard and landed a jo
with Carter Offshore of Nahant, Mass. The Nahant company specializes in very high performanc
offshore racing yachts, both production and custom built. And Perry says he found the work
rewarding, but within a year, he had to heed the call to return to the Pacific Northwest and
the chance to realize his dream.
In May of 1974 he opened his office, aided by his wife, Shari and a part-time draftsman.
Seven months later, Perry reports his "business is booming." He's got eight yachts ranging
from 28 to 50-footers on the drawing boards, he's completed design of the C.T. 54, which is
being built in Taiwan, he's penned a new design for Islander Yachts of Irvine, California,
and he's created a new Valiant Line of yachts which are being built by Uniflight in Bellingha
WORKING ON COMPETITIVE TWO-TONNER
Perry's also working on "a very exciting boat" for John Buchan, brother of Bill Buchan,
tactician on the 12-meter Intrepid. He says the boat, a 40-foot-5-inch flush deck two-tonner
will be highly competitive and will be campaigned all over the U.S. in top level, two-ton
competition.
Perry, who will also be teaching at Evergreen, plans to keep his business going between
trips to Olympia. Here, he'll be helping students and faculty prepare to launch a sailing
vessel by the end of the summer. He says the Evergreen vessel will be cutter rigged, of
moderate displacement and easily driven lines to ensure good sailing performance.
"And," he adds with a tug on his belt, "I design all types of yachts, but I like to
emphasize performance in every design. Even cruising crafts don't have to be heavy and
slow. " Then he grins, and explains that his tug on the belt reminds him of his ultimate goal.

For embroidered on the white macrome belt are the words: "Robert H. Perry
Famous Yacht
Designer. "
And by the sound of it, 28-year-old Perry may not have to keep tugging on it much
longer before the slogan on his belt comes a fact.
