...EVERGREEN AWARDED $176,934 HUMANITIES GRANT...The National Endowment for the Humanities'
Division of Education Programs has announced the award of a three-year $176,934 grant to
support advanced-level humanities studies at Evergreen. The award, effective immediately,
runs through the 1977-78 academic year. Receipt of the grant will enable the college to
strengthen advanced studies in and among such academic fields as literature, philosophy,
political science, languages, speech, history and criticism of the arts, according to
project director Charles teske, Evergreen faculty member who spearheaded the drive for
the grant while serving as an academic dean.
Evergreen's award is one of only four of its kind made this summer to institutions
throughout the nation, according to NEH officials. The grant will augment institutional
funding in the design, operation, and evaluation of advanced team-taught Coordinated Studies
programs during each of the next three academic years, Teske said. The initial program
supported by the large grant is entitled "Culture, Ideology and Social Change in America."
Already included in the 1975-76 curricula, the program entails extensive reading and
writing assignments, core seminars, lectures and other presentations, research activities,
special-topic workshops, and individual projects and conferences.
...VETERANS AFFAIRS SUPERVISOR NAMED...Stephen Richter. formerly assistant coordinator of
the Grays Harbor College Office of Veterans' Affairs, has been named Veterans Affairs
Supervisor at Evergreen. The appointment, announced by Dean of Student Development
Programs Larry Stenberg, is effective Sept. 29.
In his new post, Richter will carry primary responsibility for supervising and
coordinating Evergreen's V.A. Office, which serves some 300 military veterans now enrolled.
He will be responsible for developing outreach programs for veterans in the immediate
vicinity, for authoring or refining new V.A. programs, and for serving as a liaison between
administrative officers of federal, state and local veterans organizations.
Richter earned his associate of arts degree from Grays Harbor College. He attended
Evergreen summer quarter.
...LIFE5AVING EXERCISER TESTS HEART PATIENTS AT EVERGREEN...Potential heart patients in
Thurston County may be identified sooner and saved from serious heart attacks, thanks to
a life-saving exerciser that Olympia physician Jack Crabs and Evergreen faculty biologist
Don Humphrey are using. The device, a treadmill hooked to a computer, allows for testing
of both normal subjects and those who may have actual or suspected heart disease.
Humphrey, a heart attack victim himself, has been helping students conduct extensive
tests involving heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen utilization efficiency and electrocardiograms on more than 200 Evergreeners and Olympia-area residents. The testing involves
methods developed by Dr. Robert A. Bruce, a cardiologist from the University of Washington
and includes periodic blood pressure readings, and continuous monitoring of heart beat and
the electrical activity associated with the heart beat.
"The subject goes through a computer programmed multistage test that is roughly the
equivalent of going up an ever steeper mountain, ever more quickly," according to Humphrey.
The automated treadmill responds to the computer program, and monitoring devices transmit
information from the subject back to machines that automatically print out, display and
otherwise interpret the heart action. The number of stages the subject is able to complete
gives a rough indication of his or her aerobic capacity.

EVERGREEN RECEIVES $176,934 HUMANITIES GRANT

The National Endowment for the Humanities' Division of Education Programs has
announced the award of a three-year $176,934 grant to support advanced-level humanities
studies at Evergreen. The award, effective immediately, runs through the 1977-78 academic
year. Receipt of the grant will enable the college to strengthen advanced studies in and
among such academic fields as literature, philosophy, political science, languages, speech,
history and criticism of the arts, according to project director Charles Teske, Evergreen
faculty member who spearheaded the drive for the grant while serving as an academic dean.
Evergreen's award is one of only four of its kind made this summer to institutions
throughout the nation, according to NEH officials. Others receiving grants in the
advanced-level studies category of the Division of Education Programs were the University
of Virginia, University of Massachusetts Harbor Campus at Boston, and Portland State
University. Some 21 colleges and universities submitted grant applications during the
funding cycle in which Evergreen received its award.
The grant will augment' institutional funding in the design, operation, and evaluation
of advanced team-taught Coordinated Studies programs during each of the next three academic
years, Teske said. The initial program supported by the large grant is entitled "Culture,
Ideology and Social Change in America." Already included in the 1975-76 curricula, the
program entails extensive reading and writing assignments, core seminars, lectures and
other presentations, research activities, special-topic workshops, and individual projects
and conferences.
Working around the relations between culture, ideology and social change in America
since 1775, the program will consist of a highly-structured series of five-week segments,
including group studies and individual research projects.
Major topical areas will include "The Culture, Ideology and Politics of the American
Revolution;" "The Renaissance in Literature and Social Thought on the American Frontier;"
"Culture and Society in the Slave South, and the War for Southern Independence;" "European
Immigration to the U.S. (1820-1920) and the Development of Local and Working Class Culture;"
"Debates and Movements on Behalf of a New American Culture and Society;" "The Rise of Mass
Culture;" and "Towards a New Populism."
Faculty assigned to the initial program include Coordinator David Marr (American
studies), Eric Larson (anthropology), Pris Bowerman (economics), and Teske (literature).
"Once the initial Coordinated Study ends next Spring, the NEH grant will support a
complete written evaluation, as well as assignment of another faculty team to design and
prepare a new program for 1976-77," Teske said. "The same process will be followed in the
third year of the grant."
The NEH award also provides for engaging visiting lecturers and other resource persons
to add their expertise to the academic programs. In addition, it will support acquisitions
to strengthen Evergreen's library resources in the humanities. Commenting on the longrange value of the grant, Teske said, "Evergreen during its first four years has employed
Coordinated Studies as .the largest part of its curriculum and has had success in basic and
intermediate programs involving the humanities. Our own research indicates the college has
not realized the full potential of this kind of study for truly advanced work centered in
the humanities. This grant will allow the college to develop models and traditions of
advanced humanistic study in its formative years which will have a strong impact on the
future curriculum."

RICHTER NAMED V.A. SUPERVISOR
Stephen Richter, formerly assistant coordinator of the Grays Harbor College Office Q-f.
Veterans' Affairs, has been named Veterans Affairs Supervisor at Evergreen. The appoint*
ment, announced by Dean of Student Development Programs Larry Stenberg, is effective
Sept. 29.
In his new post, Richter will carry primary responsibility for supervising and
coordinating Evergreen's V.A. Office, which serves some 300 military veterans now enrolled.
He will be responsible for developing outreach programs for veterans in the immediate
vicinity, for authoring or refining new V.A. programs, and for serving as a liaison between
administrative officers of federal, state and local veterans organizations.
Richter earned his associate of arts degree from Grays Harbor College. He attended
Evergreen summer quarter.
SEVEN NAMED TO MASTER PLAN TEAM
Seven faculty and staff members have been named by Adminstrative Vice President Dean
Clabaugh to a Campus Master Planning team which will further develop proposals submitted
by a 1974-75 Disappearing Task Force and endorsed by the Board of Trustees in August.
The new team "will enlarge upon the DTF's outline proposal and make it more detailed and
specific, including, a more accurate projection of costs and schedule," Clabaugh said.
After that work is completed, Clabaugh and Vice President and Provost Ed Kormondy
will review the proposed plans, projected personnel, costs, and time schedule to determine
how additional master planning might be financed "in the 1976-77 budget and/or through outside sources of funds." In the end, Evergreen will have developed a means by which future
physical planning of campus facilities and resources can be accomplished.
Named to the planning team were faculty members Carolyn Dobbs, Russ Fox, Rainer
Hasenstab, and Al Wiedemann, and staff members Jerry Schillinger, Bill Knauss and Gar?
Russell. The appointees will select from two to four students to serve with them.
ADDITIONAL LEEP FUNDS GRANTED
The'Law Enforcement Assistance Administration has granted Evergreen an additional
$1,500 in Law Enforcement Education Program (LEEP) funds for the 1975-76 academic year.
The supplemental grant, which brings Evergreen's total LEEP award for this year to $18,185,
is the amount needed to meet the needs of returning LEEP recipients for Fall Quarter.
The Financial Aid Office reports there are currently 20 Evergreen students receiving
LEEP funds, which are designed to support students already involved or planning career
work in law enforcement or corrections.
NAMES IN THE NEWS
...Evergreen Security Chief McDonald Smith has been named by Thurston County Sheriff
Don Redmond to serve on the Citizen's Investigative Committee, which has been formed to
review the Sheriff's department and, in particular, the conditions of the county jail...
President Charles McCann has accepted an invitation to speak at the annual Principals'
Parliament of the Washington Association of Secondary School Principals at their meeting
Nov. 20 in Seattle.
...Faculty Member Bill Aldridge claims he's mellower these days and it's all because
of yoga. Bill's so enthused about his new discovery that yoga "isn't just something 'they'
do," that he's organized a "Fridays at noon" yoga session for faculty and staff. Cost of
the sessions, led by instructor Katherine Hayner, will be $1 each and they'll begin Oct. 3
in Library 3400 lounge. Bill advises participants to wear loose clothes or gymnastic
tights (he promises to wear the latter) and notes that "It's really fun....not at all 1^
High School P.E.".
...Three new staff members have recently joined the Evergreen team: Ben Wolfe has
been hired as a statistical typist; Wyatt Gates is a new program assistant in media
services; and Phoebe Walker is the new Library technician. Sam La Grave, formerly a
security guard, has been promoted to custodial supervisor, and Leonard Huff has resigned
as a computer programmer.

the tennis racket
ELDRIDGE, PAILTHORP VICTORIOUS
By Dick Nichols, Newsletter Sports Editor
Unleashing a barrage of razor-sharp passing shots, deep lobs, and rocketing serves,
the tandem of Les Eldridge (Evergreen Presidential Assistant) and Keith Pailthorp
(education planner, Council on Post-Secondary Education) last week won the Evergreen
Invitational Doubles Tennis Championship with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Ward Sangren and Don
Sturgill, dynamic duo from the interinstitutional whatever-it-is office. The gruelling,
two-hour match, played on Evergreen's fabled center court near the Steam Plant, was a
classic battle between members of the "Not to the Hill (as opposed to over it) Gang."
The tennis ball finished in much better condition than the players.
Grinning and brandishing a handsome trophy (engraved with ball point pen lettering
on adhesive tape), Eldridge said he and Pailthorp plan to meet Sangren and Sturgill in
a rematch, with the winning team to play the losing team in another rematch, etc.
However, in an attempt to counter suspicions that the Invitational Tournament is
restricted to a limited, hand-picked field, Eldridge said he and Pailthorp will accept
other challenges. "Anyone interested may throw a glove—with note attached—inside my
office door (Library 3105)," he said. "Challenges to Sangren and Sturgill may be issued
in similar fashion by throwing the glove inside their door (Library 3122)."
Bobby Riggs, where are you?

GRANT APPLICATIONS OPEN
Applications for 1976 grants from the Washington Commission for the Humanities are
being accepted now, according to WCH Chairman Lloyd Schram. Dr. Schram announced that
competition will begin on Oct. 17 for $382,500 that Washington State has requested
from the National Endowment for the Humanities for grants to local projects.
The Commission funds discussion projects which bring humanities scholars and outof-school adults together to consider current issues of public policy. These issues
must relate to some aspect of the state theme, "The Public Interest: Government and
the Individual, 1776 - 1976 and Beyond."
During the year 1975, the Commission awarded approximately $300,000 to 26 projects,
ranging in size from $3,000 to $25,000. These projects dealt with many topics,
including citizen participation in government, nuclear power development and the
alternatives, government and the arts, Spanish-speaking persons and the American
political system, and treatment alternatives for criminals. New projects might focus
on similar issues, or a wide variety of different subjects including freedom of the
press, use of land and other natural resources, consumer interests vs. corporate
interests, medical ethics, etc.
Persons interested in learning more about the program should contact the WCH
Office, Library Room 3215, or call 866-6510. Brochures, grant guidelines and application forms are available now.

JONES TO OFFER EXPERIMENTAL GROUP CONTRACT
Although officially on leave and working this fall with Evergreen's National
Science Foundation RULE team, Faculty Member Richard Jones is offering an experimental
program of study called "The Undergraduate Major in Psychology." In describing the
contract Jones states: "This summer, under the auspices of the National Science
Foundation's RULE grant, I put together a study guide and a package of materials
designed to help advanced Evergreen students score high on the Graduate Record Advanced
Test in Psychology. My experience had been that there are a lot of Evergreeners who
have already done graduate level work in certain areas of psychology and who want to

4.
go to a graduate, school after Evergreen, but are handicapped when taking the required
graduate record exam in competition with students who have majored in psychology at
traditional colleges and universities. The study guide .Is designed to help overcome
this handicap. I think it will do the trick, but I need to test it. Thus this group {
contract.
" I am calling it the Undergraduate Major in Psychology because that is what you'll
be expected to do: cover in ten weeks what you would have covered in two or three years
if you had majored in psychology at a traditional college or university. The objective
is to become familiar with every major theory, concept, term, experiment and name in all
of psycnology, from its inception in the nineteenth century to the present. There will
not be time to study anything in depth, nor to be imaginative, critical or creative.
There will be no seminars or formal classes of any kind. All you will do for ten weeks
is read, listen to tapes, view films, memorize, do exercises and take tests."
Students who successfully complete the contract will receive four Evergreen credits
in advanced general psychology. The evaluation will consist of one thing: the student's
score on the Graduate Record Advanced Test in Psychology, to be taken in early January.
Interested students should contact Richard in Lab 1003, 866-6004.
EVERGREEN'S TREADMILL —

A LIFE SAVING EXERCISER

When Olympia physician Jack Crabs and Don Humphrey, Evergreen biologist., go home some
evenings, they can truly tell their wives they've spent the day on a treadmill. The
treadmill in this case runs in the Laboratory Building and is used extensively for
exercise testing and to search out persons who may be potential heart attack victims.
The treadmill, along with an ergometer (a fancy name for bicycle), and the associated
electronic controls and monitoring devices, allow for testing of both normal subjects
and those who may have actual or suspected heart disease.
Humphrey, a heart attack patient himself, and his students have been conducting
extensive tests involving heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen utilization efficiency and
electrocardiograms on more than 200 Evergreeners and Olympia-area residents. The testing
involves methods developed by Dr. Robert A. Bruce, a cardiologist from the University of
Washington and includes periodic blood pressure readings, and continuous monitoring of
heart beat and the electrical activity associated with the heart beat.
"The subject goes through a computer programmed multistage test that is roughly the
equivalent of going up an ever steeper mountain, ever more quickly," according to
Humphrey. The automated treadmill responds to the -computer program, and monitoring devices
transmit information from the subject back to machines that automatically print out,
display and otherwise interpret the heart action. The number of stages the subject is able
to complete gives a rough indication of his or her aerobic capacity.
"In other words," Humphrey adds, "it provides a good image of the person's fitness.
Joggers and others who are disciplines of Dr. Ken Cooper's Aerobics can nicely monitor
their conditioning progress. Others find that the test results motivate them to begin a
fitness program for better health."
Dr. Crabs, who recently completed the exercise testing workshop at the University of
Washington, takes the testing a step further. He tests patients on the sophisticated
equipment in an effort to determine degrees of heart disease, and in order to monitor
patients' progress in various recovery programs he has prescribed. "The availability of
such equipment at Evergreen is making possible programs of real benefit to people in the
Olympia area and offers an example of how the college provides an important community
resource," Dr. Crabs says.
SPEAKERS BUREAU CATALOG PUBLISHED
A Speakers Bureau Catalog, listing faculty and staff members available to present
topical programs to Thurston County clubs and organizations, has been published by the Office of College Relations. The bureau is designed as a community service to help better
acquaint residents of Evergreen's immediate service area with the college's programs
and to help make the institution a learning resource for the entire area, according to
Dick Nichols, Director of Public Information.

"UP WITH PEOPLE" TO PERFORM TOMORROW IN LACEY
"Up With People," an international group of students, will present a musical and
dance concert at Capitol Pavilion on the campus of St. Martin's College tomorrow (Sept. 23)
starting at 8 p.m. The cast of 150 students will present an evening of family entertainment,
featuring original songs, choreography, and medleys from the world of folk and pop music.
Tickets, available from the Music Bar, Rainy Day Records, and Yenney Music, cost $3.50 for
adults and $2.50 for students. "Up With People," which has performed twice previously in
the Olympia area, is an independent
non-profit corporation with no political or religious
affiliations.
VOLUNTARY SERVICE LIST EXPLAINED
Because of its color, the Voluntary Service List has been nicknamed by some as
"Evergreen's Yellow Pages." The similarity is more than just skin deep. The Voluntary
Service List has saved many an Evergreener from useless wandering in trying to find
people to serve on DTFs (disappearing task forces) Or the Sounding Board, to identify
people with specific interests, or to locate community members with certain talents and
expertise.
Originally intended as a means for seeking students concerned with governance and
decision-making, the Voluntary Service List has grown to include faculty and staff members
as well as students interested in many diverse areas of the college, including counseling,
Cooperative Education, community relations, and the Womens' Clinic. The yellow forms of
the Voluntary Service List are available at the Information Center and should be turned in
there when completed. The list will then be computerized so that any member of the
,
community can obtain a list of persons who signed up under a specific area, by using one of
various computer terminals on campus.
The Voluntary Service List will be one of the topics talked about at a panel discussion
on "The Evergreen Way" tomorrow from 1 to 3 p.m. in Lecture Hall 1. Any questions can be
answered at the Information Center or by calling 866-6300.
GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING FACULTY MEMBERSHIP APPROVED
Clarification of what faculty "status" is and to whom it applies has been offered
by the Faculty Membership Disappearing Task Force and approved by Vice President and
Provost Ed Kormondy. In a report completed last May, the DTF, chaired by Faculty Member
Merv Cadwallader, recommended 14 guidelines which Kormondy says should help clarify
questions which have previously gone unanswered.
For example, faculty membership is now "open to any current or future employee...
who applies through the normal faculty hiring channels and who is deemed qualified..."
College employees who apply for such membership are "to be treated exactly as any other
faculty candidate..." Such membership, the report points out, "is not to depend upon the
availability or non-availability of specific teaching positions at the college. There could
and should be," it adds, "more designated members of the faculty than funded teaching
positions."
Summer employment is not automatic for non-teaching faculty members and a normal
faculty appointment is defined as nine months. Pay scales for all persons accepted as
members of the faculty (except vice presidents, classified employees and the president)
will be in accordance with the faculty salary schedule, but from the budget of the unit
where employed. If classified employees become members of the faculty, they will, if
called on to teach, become exempt and be paid on the faculty salary schedule for the
duration of that appointment. Their salary during that time will come from the 06
(instructional) budget.
All members of the faculty, whether teaching or not, are encouraged to participate
in proposing and planning academic programs
and to take advantage of opportunities to
switch positions with non-teaching members of the faculty (librarians, counselors, etc.).
Visitors working at Evergreen on "soft" money are NOT eligible for faculty membership
while they're so employed, and persons who serve as intern supervisors are now to be
recognized and honored with the title "adjunct members of the faculty."

Across campus, the Communications Laboratory Building, set to ppen in the Spring of
1977, continues to rise. The facility, most recent of the college's academic structures to
receive funding from the State Legislature, will house instructional, performance and
production work areas for audio and video communications, film, still photography, theater!
speech training, music, dance and two dimensional design. Facilities Director Jerry
Schillinger says work on the building is "about one-fourth completed."
Not all construction projects are readily within view, but for the adventuresome, a
five-minute walk through the fields will take them to the site of the new Organic Farm House.
Students have completed sawing of all the logs retrieved from the Communications Building
site and have poured footings for the building, which will provide a community use kitchen,
a multi-purpose meeting room for 50-60 people, and sleep/study quarters for the farm's
student caretakers. The building site tops a hillside overlooking the farm and students
hope to have completed the structure by next fall.
The original farm house, still in use, is scheduled for demolition once the new building
is completed. Helping hands are still very much in demand at the farm, and assistance from
any interested, industrious workers will be warmly welcomed by the student builders. For
more information, check with staff architect Bill Knauss, an enthusiastic consultant on
the project, at 866-6120.
THIRD WORLD FORUM GRANTED $2.500
. The National American Revolution Bicentennial Administration has awarded $2,500 to
Evergreen's Third World Coalition for the Bicentennial Forum held last April on campus.
The award was issued through the Washington State American Revolution Bicentennial
Commission to support the student-organized conference which was the first national bicentennial celebration aimed at increasing understanding of and celebrating non-white contributions to America's history.

both in the lobby of the Co-Op Office,
first floor of the Laboratory Building.
FEENEY NAMED DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
Suzanne £. Feeney, formerly executive officer of the Washington State Higher Education
Assistance Authority, has been named Development Officer at Evergreen. The appointment,
effective Sept. 29, was announced this week by Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh.
"The Development appointment carries with it prime responsibility for planning and
administering fund-raising efforts aimed at both private and public sources," Clabaugh said.
"In addition, the post carries responsibility for administering and coordinating all alumni
activities for Evergreen's more than 1,000 graduates."
Mrs. Feeney was appointed as the first executive officer of the Higher Education Assistance Authority in 1973. She developed and trained staff for the new agency, developed its
administrative and organizational policies and procedures, and designed its physical
facilities. Prior to joining the HEAA, Mrs. Feeney served as assistant director and later

Student Financial Aid at the University of Washington for three years, and
as a counselor for the University's Placement Center for two years. She also served as a
teaching assistant for the Department of English at Loyola University in Chicago, Illinois.
Mrs. Feeney earned her bachelor of arts degree in English from Oregon State University
and her master's degree in higher education administration and public administration from
the University of Washington.
She has served as vice president of the Washington Financial,
Aid Association for Program Development and Legislation and as chairwoman of the Minority
Affairs Commission of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. She
has been a member of the Seattle and Olympia Area Chambers of Commerce and has served as a
consultant to the U.S. House of Representatives' Subcommittee on Education.

good condition," Stilson adds. "Books first printed in a given geographical area or
author —signed copies of first editions also often qualify as rare books." Items classified
as rare books in the Evergreen collection include about 250 titles, several with more than
one volume. Some of the books were donated to the college
for instance, an 1897 edition
of Washington Irving's "Astoria: Or Anecdotes of an Enterprise Beyond the Rocky Mountains,"
part of a personal collection presented to Evergreen by an Aberdeen resident.
"Most of our rare books were purchased through the Richard Abel Company of Portland,
with which we contracted as we began assembling our collection in the years prior to Evergreen's opening," Stilson says. "Most of our rare books focus on Pacific Northwest or
California history and culture.
Examples include an original edition of the 1798 publication "Vancouver's Voyages,"
a four-volume set including maps; H.W. McCurdy's "Marine History of the Pacific Northwest,"
signed by editor Gordon Newell of Olympia; "Early Klickitat Valley Days;" and "The Drawings
of John Woodhouse Audubon, 1849-50 Travels in Mexico and California," a 1950's publication
of which only 400 copies were issued.
"The rare books collection allows students and other library users a chance to work
with original editions of publications otherwise only available as reprints," Stilson says.
"They can handle, feel and work with fine quality rare books...items to which they normally
would have little or no access."

Parking will be free during Open House.
RARE BOOKS. ROOM OPENED; PERIODICALS SECTION REVAMPED
Opening of a Rare Books Room and a major revamping of the Periodicals Section will greet
library users when Fall Quarter classes begin Sept. 29. In process throughout the summer
months under the direction of Acquisition Librarian Malcolm Stilson, the project will enhance
student, faculty, staff and public access to a major segment of the college's library
collection.
Both the Periodicals Section and the Rare Books Room are housed on the third floor of
the Library Building, directly above the Reference and Circulation areas. The revamped
Periodicals Section includes 1600 square feet of expanded lounge and study carrel space, an
open display of current copies of 500 of the 1350 publications
magazines, journals, newspapers
to which the library subscribes, and an inner core containing at least one year's
back issues of each periodical. Issues dating back further than one year may be found on
microfilm or, in some cases, are stored in hard-bound form.
"The periodicals collection emphasizes academic journals, but also includes a wide
variety of other publications," Stilson says. Periodicals are not available for check-out
but may be used in the new lounge area, which is open for both campus and public use.
The Rare Books Room, designed with a controlled access point to preserve and secure the,
most valuable items in the library collection, includes not only books but also college
archives, art prints, and slides. Art prints and slides
more than 12,000 covering a
wide range of academic disciplines
may be checked out, but rare books and archives
material may only be used in the new room, Stilson says.

ONE THOUSAND NEW STUDENTS EXPECTED TODAY
Approximately one thousand new students will begin their academic careers at Evergreen
this morning when they participate in the first of many orientation programs planned
throughout the week by the Office of Student development Programs. John Woo, a Seattle
senior who is coordinating the five-day orientation, says new students will be able to
finalize their Fall Quarter registration, participate in a wide variety of "get acquainted"
recreational and social activities, and gain introductions to all the programs and resources
available to them at Evergreen.
"We've tried to plan a week that will allow all students plenty of time to register
for the academic programs most suited to their needs," Woo says. "We don't want them to
rush through orientation. We want them to talk to academic advisers and faculty members and
be sure that what they're registering for is what they really want."
Woo says ten special "We Care" registration assistants will be on hand throughout the
week to answer questions and advise students on how best to complete registration procedures.
Representatives from all the major divisions of the campus
from Cooperative Education
to Financial Aid, from Career Planning and Placement to Health Services
will deliver
introductions and answer student queries during informal seminar-type sessions. In
addition, the Campus Recreation Center will host a variety of games and recreational
activities and faculty members will open their doors to students for consultation.
Between scheduled events, Woo says there will still be plenty of time to "buy books,
hang houseplants and settle in." "We're hopeful there won't be time for newcomers to be
hit by loneliness," he adds. "We opened up the old Drop In Center (Dorm A, room 222) and
are inviting all students to stop by, have a cup of coffee and talk with other new Evergreeners, as well as with the staff." Hours for the center, renamed the Common Inn, will
be from 9 p.m. to midnight.
"THE EVERGREEN WAY" EXPLAINED
Two major events Woo has planned for incoming students are the two-hour forum Tuesday
on "The Evergreen Way: Behind the Organization Chart," and a three-hour "CAB Stand" scheduled
Thursday from noon to 3 p.m. in the main mall of the College Activities Building. "The
Evergreen Way will give some veteran students, faculty and staff a chance to talk about adjustment and survival at Evergreen," Woo says. Faculty Member Tom Rainey will chair the
forum along with staff members Mary Ellen Lewis and Maureen Karras, and students Bill Hirshman and Angela Sulcer. The discussion will be held in Lecture Hall One from 1 to 3 p.m.
The CAB Stands offer what Woo describes as "the only chance students will have to
find out where all their activities fees money goes." All student organizations, recreational
groups and any other activities supported by Services and Activities Fees will have representatives on hand to answer questions and explain their programs. Foot-stomping square
dance music will be performed throughout the three-hour program and Woo invites "all hands
to join in."
Other highlights of the busy orientation schedule include the nearly traditional
Academic Fair first thing this morning in the main Library lobby; tour of the campus, both
on foot and via bicycle; faculty interviews, program meetings, and, of course, two days for
switching, an Evergreen art of changing programs at the last minute. "Switch" days are
Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon in the Lecture Hall Rotunda.
Students interested in enrolling in the expanded part-time studies programs for Fall
Quarter will have a chance to talk to all Modular instructors Thursday from 7 to 10 p.m. in
Lecture Hall Three. The "Living Catalog" program will allow plenty of time for faculty
members to explain their course offerings and students to ask questions.

18 newcomers join staff
FACULTY MEMBERS FACE FULL WEEK OF ORIENTATION, PLANNING

It's back to school time for faculty members this morning --- all 126 of them. The
pedagogues will find awaiting them a full schedule, carefully planned by Academic Dean
Leo Daugherty to allow ample time for fine tuning of academic programs and student
advisement.
"The week is designed to take care of the really important things that need to be
addressed while leaving adequate time for program planning and fine tuning," Daugherty
says. Among those "really important items" on the week-long agenda are: a two-day
faculty-only racism and collegiality workshop, discussions on registration with Registrar
Walker Allen, curriculum with Academic Dean Lynn Patterson, academic advisement with ______
Dean of Student Development Programs Larry Stenberg, and an afternoon orientation for
the 18 new faculty members.
Daugherty says what's different about this year's orientation is the focus he hopes
will materialize on "building and strengthening the curriculum." "We want to move toward
a curriculum that will be really responsive to Third World concerns," he adds.
Those concerns will be highlighted Thursday when Third World faculty and staff meet
with new students participating in the TW student orientation. Academic Dean Rudy Martin,
who's organizing the Thursday session, says "faculty and staff will spend the entire day
with Third World students providing as much of an academic orientation as we can." He
hopes "to provide them with handles on how to teach and learn here --- the people, processes,
materials and all other resources that are available." He says students will tour the
Learning Services Center, the Self Paced Learning Lab, Library and media areas to gain a
complete picture of what is available to them.
Topping off what looks like a busy week for all faculty will be a Friday afternoon
orientation for the newest of Evergreen's professors. Among them are 11 new permanent
faculty members: Therese Bonin, language and literature; Natalie Crowe, psychology;
Elizabeth Dif fendal, applied social science and planning; Virginia Ingersoll, communications; Lowell Kuehn, sociology and criminology; Kaye Ladd, chemistry; Alan Nasser,
philosophy; Joye Peskin, theater and communications; Greg Steinke, music; Susan Strasser ,
American history; and York Wong, business and computer science.
Seven visiting faculty members will also be participating in orientation. That number
includes two persons just hired this month: Pamela Schick, an instructor, choreographer
and performer at Dance Theater Seattle who has signed a one-year visiting faculty
agreement in dance; and William Marsh, most recently an associate professor of mathematics
in Hampshire College who has received a half-time appointment in mathematics for Fall
Quarter. Other new faculty visitors include: David Gallagher, wood sculpture; George
Kinnear , public administration; Dale Noyd, psychology; Kathleen O'Shaunessy, psychology;
and Pat Spark, weaving.
Some familiar faces from last year's faculty won't be here --- either for the orientation
or for one or more quarters this year. Fifteen faculty members have been granted leaves
of absence for varying lengths of time during the 1975-76 academic term. Those on leave
include: Carrie Cable, Ed Reynolds, LeRoi Smith and Fred Tabbutt --- all on year-long
leaves; Don Humphrey, Dick Jones , Bob Barnard , Peter Elbow, Kirk Thompson, Dave Kitchens,
Peter Taylor , Nancy Taylor , Peggy Dickinson, Margaret Gribskov and Bill Aldridge --- some
of whom have leaves to participate in non-teaching projects on campus; others who will be
leaving campus for one, two or three quarters.

THIRD WORLD ORIENTATION BEGINS TODAY; 50 NEW STUDENTS EXPECTED
For the first time in Evergreen's brief history, Third World students will arrive
on campus a week early for their own specialized orientation session, organized by Ernest
(Stone) Thomas, newly appointed Director of the Third World Coalition. Thomas, who joined
Evergreen's staff in August following two years service in the Educational Opportunity
Program at Central Washington State College, says he expects approximately 50 students,
mostly newcomers to Evergreen, to arrive on campus this morning for the first of five
full days of activities. "We're going to spend a lot of time familiarizing these
students with the academic programs and services at Evergreen," Thomas explains. "We
will introduce them to faculty and staff and hope to ease at least some of the anxieties
they face as they enter this new environment." Thomas says he's also hopeful he'll be
able to answer some of the questions which concern Third World students but are often
unvoiced in the more general, all campus orientation, slated for September 22-26.
Working with Thomas on the week-long program will be Academic Dean Rudy Martin, who
has asked Third World staff and faculty members to meet with the newcomers all morning
Thursday. Faculty Member Maxine Mimms will also offer a special one-hour presentation
and tour of the Learning Services Center Thursday. Other areas to be covered this week
by the Third World students include Development Services, Third World student groups,
Recreation and Campus Activities, Cooperative Education, Self-Paced Learning Laboratory,
Library and Media areas.
Thomas says students will also have a chance to visit with President Charles McCann,
Provost Ed Kormondy and Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh. For this week, all
of the new Third World students will stay in on-campus housing and share meals at Saga.
PART-TIME STUDIES REGISTRATION BEGINS TONIGHT
Registration for Fall Quarter part-time studies programs at Evergreen will begin thi^
evening, according to Registrar Walker Allen. Instructors for the 30 programs open to
residents of the college's immediate service area will be on hand tonight to explain their
offerings and give prospective students details about class times, dates and locations.
Initial registration activities will occur from 6 to 8 p.m. tonight in Room 110 of
the College Activities Building. Registration will continue in the Registrar's Office,
Seminar Building, during the same hours Sept. 16, 17 and 18 and from 9 to noon Sept. 20.
An academic advisor will be available those days to assist students with program selections.
Fall Quarter classes begin September 29, with registrations possible from then
through October 2. "We encourage most persons who are just starting part-time studies at
Evergreen to enroll as Special Students—those taking academic work for credit though not
seeking a degree," Allen says. "This allows registration without making formal application,
supplying transcripts, or paying application and advance deposit fees. Credit earned,
of course, is applicable to a degree should a student later wish to become a part-time
continuing student. At that point the student would undergo formal admissions processing."
Complete information about part-time studies at Evergreen—including a catalog
containing brief academic program descriptions—are available at the Office of Admissions,
first floor of the Seminar Building, or by dialing 866-6170.
MINNER NAMED CAMPUS PHYSICIAN
Dr. Dale Minner, a Seattle physician, has been appointed to a part-time post as
campus physician at The Evergreen State College. The appointment, announced by Dean of
Student Development Programs Larry Stenberg, is effective Sept. 30 through June 11, 1976.
Dr. Minner, who has most recently had an emergency medical practice in Seattle, has,
more than 15 years experience in general practice, including service as an aviation medik .0.
officer and a flight surgeon in the U.S. Army, and three years service as a senior fellow
in the University of Washington's Department of Preventive Medicine. He joined the Boeing
Company staff in 1965, where he has served as chief of Medical Systems Development, as
Medical Industry Manager, and as a medical systems consultant.
The Seattle physician earned his bachelor of arts degree in chemistry from Walla

Walla College and his medical degree from Loma Linda University. He also earned a
master of science degree in preventive medicine at the University of Washington.
JOB FAIR OFFERS "EQUAL" OPPORTUNITY TO ALL STUDENTS
Reduced confusion and "equal" employment opportunities for all students seeking
part-time work at Evergreen-—both in work-study and institutionally funded positions
are the goals of this week's Job Fair, coordinated by Financial Aid staff member Jane
Gorai and supported by the entire FA Staff.
Beginning bright and early this morning and continuing through Thursday at noon,
students seeking employment are encouraged to go to the first floor Library lobby to
submit applications for the wide range of job vacancies. Applications will be held until
noon Thursday when the FA staff will forward lists of applicants to employers for what
Gorai describes as a "paper screening process." Interviews will then be held all day
Friday in the first floor lobby of the Library.
What's new about the whole process, Gorai says, is the genuine attempt to give
everyone a fair chance. "We've asked all employers to hold off filling any student
work positions until the 19th, so everyone will have an equal opportunity to find out
about all available jobs and apply for them at the same time," she says. "So often
students have been hired on a first-come, first-served basis or because they happen to
hear about the right job at the right time." "This way," she says, "everyone hears
everything at the same time and applies on an equal basis."
She realizes that some employers may not want to interview students in the large
Library lobby, but encourages them to do so if possible. "For many of the new students,
it's difficult to find their way to all the individual offices and often by the time they
get there, the employer is out. This way, they can all come to one central place and
find out their status on every job for which they've applied. We think it'll lessen
confusion a great deal."
Students who don't apply by Thursday noon can still submit applications to
'
Financial Aid and the staff will refer them on an individual basis to employers beginning
Sept. 22.
STAFF WELCOMES 20 NEWCOMERS TO VARIETY OF POSTS
New faces are filling 20 positions as Evergreen starts into its fifth academic year
this month. Since the end of Spring Quarter eight major appointments have been made and
a dozen other staff positions have been filled, some with newcomers to the campus, some
with Evergreen veterans who've changed jobs. Eight familiar faces have terminated their
employment and won't be here to greet faculty and students when the first class doors
open September 29.
Prepared for a busy year in director or budget level positions are: George Horn,
director of Counseling Services; David Imanaka, graphics designer; Jim Johnson, acting
director of Computer Services; Dr, Dale Minner, part-time campus physician; MacDonald
Smith, Security director; Susan Smith, chief of Library user services; and Ernest (Stone)
Thomas, Director of the Third World Coalition. Also new to Evergreen is Ward Sangren,
coordinator of the newly formed Higher Education Computing Consortium, an inter-institutional computer resource sharing system headquartered in the Office of the Council of State
College and University Presidents (OCSCUP) on the third floor of the Library. OCSCUP is
funded jointly by all six state colleges and universities, so Sangren is one-sixth" Evergreen, as is the rest of the OCSCUP staff (Bob Carr, director; Don Sturgill, coordinator
of business affairs; Shirley Strawn, administrative assistant; and Virginia Nichols,
secretary).
Other newcomers to Evergreen's staff are: Judy Bennett, accounting assistant in the
Cashier's Office; Mary Berghammer and Susan Hartman, office assistants in the Registrar's
Office; Carmen Doerge, Library technician; Judy Libby, nurse practitioner; Bettina Link,
Ivan Rhoads and James Tindall, custodians; Eileen Meconi, Library accounting assistant;

librarian; Pam Hansen, program secretary; Kiku Kobato, office assistant in the Registrar/Office; Doris McDonald, statistical typist; Amelita Mondonedo, Library budget coordinator,
Rich Nathan, assistant director of Admissions; Robert Selin, computer programmer; Linda
Yee, Library technician; and Chris Wortman, office assistant in Cooperative Education.
Three major permanent posts remain unfilled: director of Development; permanent
director of Computer Services, and the newly created post of Coordinator of Academic
Information.
FACULTY ARTWORKS OPEN GALLERY SEASON
A "Visiting Faculty Show"—running from Sept. 15 through Oct. 10—will open the 197576 academic year's series of exhibits in Evergreen's Art Gallery, second floor reference
section of the Library Building. The interior section of the gallery will display
functional and sculptural wood forms by Dave Gallagher; weaving by Pat Spark; and
representative works of various artists who sponsor art workshops at Evergreen. The outer
section of the gallery will exhibit the works of Seattle photographer Jonathan Ezekiel.
Gallagher, who holds a one-year teaching contract, has served as a teaching assistant
in basic design and wood design at the University of Washington and has exhibited his
works throughout the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett area. While at Evergreen, he will teach a
year long program entitled "Wood Sculpture."
Spark, who will teach at Evergreen during Fall and Winter Quarters, has undertaken
art studies in Sweden and has taught and lectured at Tacoma and Fort Steilacoom Community
Colleges. She also has been an instructor for the King County Parks Department and for
the Arachnie, Tacoma and Seattle Weavers Guilds. While at Evergreen, she will teach a
two-quarter program entitled "Weaving."
The art exhibit, timed to coincide with student orientation and the beginning of
Evergreen's Fall Quarter academic program, may be viewed during regular Library operating
hours, seven days per week. The exhibit is open to the public free of charge.
TRUSTEES APPROVE NEW TUITION SCHEDULE, ADMINISTRATION DTF REPORT, NEW INSURANCE OPTIONS
In one of the shortest board meetings in recent memory, Evergreen's Trustees Thursday
approved adoption of a new tuition and fees schedule effective Fall Quarter, adopted the
recommendations of the Administrative Procedures Disappearing Task Force and gave the nod
to implementation of a new insurance program for college faculty and staff.
The tuition and fees revision, designed to encourage more part-time registrations,
enables students to pay on a per unit basis for one, two or more units. Previously
students could pay either a part-time (one unit) fee or a full-time (four unit) fee. If
they wanted to take just two units, they paid at the four-unit rate. The new schedule for
resident students is $169 for three or more units (same as before); $136 for two units;
and $68 for one unit ($12 less than before).
The results of several months work by the Administrative Procedures DTF were approved
with readiness by the Board on the strong recommendations of President Charles McCann,
both Vice Presidents, who co-chaired the DTF, and Affirmative Action Officer Rindetta
Jones. McCann told the Board that since July the college has been following the procedures
which cover recruiting and selection processes for exempt personnel (those who are neither
faculty nor civil service). Vice President and Provost Ed Kormondy said he felt the
procedures offered safeguards that "promote openness and consciousness of Affirmative Action
concerns." He added that the guidelines "already appear to be working satisfactorily and
are in no conflict with the Affirmative Action Policy." Trustees then called for a public
hearing at the next Board meeting (scheduled tentatively for Oct. 16) to consider revision
to the Human Rights Policy to align it with the new Administrative Procedures.
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh explained the new Mass Merchandizing
Insurance options which will enable Evergreen employees to purchase automotive (and
eventually homeowners) insurance through payroll deduction if 25 or more staff members and
faculty request participation in the program. Trustees approved the program and information
on it may be available next week. Payroll deductions for those electing to participate in
the program could be subtracted from the October payroll.

initially will teach an evening modular course entitled "Economic Problems, Technology
and Business Policy."
In addition to his teaching duties, Kinnear will continue to work with a 13-member
Advisory Committee
composed of executives from various Washington firms
which
is assisting Evergreen officials in the development of business administration study programs
at the college. Kinnear's evening course, designed primarily for part-time students, is
part of pilot business studies being offered during Fall Quarter. A more comprehensive
program should be ready next Fall, with guidance from the Business Advisory Committee.
A 1934 graduate of the University of Washington Law School, Kinnear has been a practicing
attorney for more than 40 years. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1941 to 1946, eventually
retiring with the rank of captain. He became Chairman of the Washington State Tax Commission
in 1965 and two and a half years later was named Director of Revenue, a post he held until

Three new study programs have been added to Evergreen's curricular offerings, according

Two visiting faculty members
David Gallagher and Pat Spark
will offer a pair of
new Group Contracts. Gallagher's program, "Wood Sculpture", will run for three quarters and
involve "the study of sculptural three-dimensional form, with wood as the primary (but not
exclusive) material." The contract will include three related areas of study: primary studio
work, design and presentation.
Spark's Group Contract, "Weaving," will run Fall and Winter Quarters and will offer "a
comprehensive course of textile study for people who are seriously considering the textile
arts as a profession." The program will cover spinning, dying, tapestry techniques,
functional weaving techniques, fiber science, textile history, and "as many other fiber
techniques as possible in the time allowed."
