it's the Sesquicentennial
NORWEGIAN GROUPS STAGING HISTORIC FESTIVAL
Historical celebrations are rare at Evergreen. The college is, after all, only five
years old. Veteran Evergreen staff and faculty talk about "firsts" and "traditions"
within historically very short time spans. Yet Nov. 16 marks a historic day, not just for
the college, but for some three million Norwegian/Americans who this fall commemorate the
arrival of the first ship load of emigrants from Norway to the United States.
Organized by Olympian Mickey Hemstad, an afternoon festival at Evergreen will
commemorate the arrival of the historic ship "Restauration" with its 46 passengers into
New York City's harbor Oct. 9, 1825. The day will include grand opening of an invaluable
art exhibit on loan from the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, B.C.; re-enactment of
a 300-year-old Norwegian wedding ceremony, demonstrations by modern Norwegian craftsmen
and women, and music
sung, danced and played
by members of Norwegian groups from
throughout the state.
Mrs. Hemstad, an artist of Norwegian descent, says catalyst for the celebration came
from the Norwegian/American 150th Anniversary Commission which contacted her about arranging
for the Smithsonian exhibit to be displayed in Olympia. "There never has been an exhibition
from the Smithsonian in our area," she says. "When they asked about having one here, I
jumped at the chance and immediately thought of Evergreen's Art Gallery."
The exhibit, "Graphics by Rolf Nesch," will formally open at 2:30 p.m. Nov. 16 with
a flag raising ceremony and performance of the national anthems of both the United States
and Norway. Nesch is considered one of Norway's greatest living artists and his show
includes a retrospective exhibition of 50 of his etchings and metal prints, the development
of which have established the artist as a great 20th century technical innovator. It was
compiled by Dr. Knut Berg, director of the National Gallery in Oslo, is circulated by the
Smithsonian, and sponsored by the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Washington, B.C. and the
Norwegian American Sesquicentennial Committee.
Highlighting the festivities at 3 p.m. will be the re-enactment of a 300-year-old
Norwegian wedding ceremony, complete with traditional costuming, borrowed by Mrs. Hemstad,
authentic music and scripts, and a decorated team of horses which will lead the procession
carrying the bride and groom.
Contemporary craftsmen and women will display their art works throughout the afternoon and offer demonstrations. Expected among the artists will be Nels Nelskog, an 87
year-old wood cutter from Everett, and Arne Herstad, of Tacoma, who has built a 17-foot
Hardanger row boat on display in the Library gallery, "the very sight of which will make
Norsemen homesick," according to Mrs. Hemstad. Folk art will also be displayed throughout
the afternoon and through Dec. 12 in the gallery.
At the same time, singers, musicians and dancers from the Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia area
will perform in the main lobby of the Library Building. Gunnar Malmin, retired professor
of music from Pacific Lutheran University, will direct the 25-member Normanna Male Chorus;
Audun Toven, currently a PLU assistant professor of Norwegian, will direct the Parkland
university's Mayfest Dancers, and several other musical groups will perform.
Norwegian cookies and punch will be served by members of local organizations and of
area Sons of Norway groups. A traditional Norwegian dinner will conclude the festivities
at 5 p.m. in the college dining hall. Reservations for the $3.20-per plate meal will be
received at 866-6229 weekdays at Evergreen.

NOMINATIONS FOR DEANS DUE TODAY
Nominations for two academic deanships at Evergreen are due today (Oct. 31) in the
office of Faculty Member Robert Sluss, head of a Dean Screen Disappearing Task Force
appointed by Vice President and Provost Ed Kormondy.
All candidates for the positions will receive letters from the DTF, explaining
procedures and asking for their written and verbal responses to a series of issue-oriented
questions (long-range planning, student recruiting, role of deans, etc.) Each candidate
will prepare a Public Qualifications Folder (PQF) which the DTF will make available for
campus-wide review and comment between now and Nov. 14. Nominees will be interviewed
between Nov. 14 and Dec. 5, with a non-prioritized list of four finalists due to
Kormondy on the latter date. Kormondy will announce his selections by Dec. 15.
Next meeting of the DTF is scheduled for 8 a.m. Tuesday in CAB 108. The two new
appointees, serving for three years under Evergreen's rotating dean policy, will replace
Lynn Patterson, whose term expires June 30, 1976, and Rudy Martin, whose term ends Aug. 30.
SENIOR TAKES NATIONAL AWARD
David Current, a Seattle senior at .Evergreen and an independent slide/tape producer,
has been awarded the Silver Cindy Award by the Information Film Producers of America.
Current, one of the few students to receive an award in the national, professional
competition, won second place in the category of slide tape and public affairs productions
under 20 minutes in length. His award-winner was produced for the Children's Home
Society of Washington.
A graduate of Mercer Island High School, Current is enrolled in the Broadsides and
Broadcasts Coordinated Studies Program. He accepted his award in San Diego last Friday.
NEW ACADEMIC COORDINATOR, ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY A NAMED
Mary Moorehead, an Olympia woman who most recently served as assistant to Evergreen's
Director of Admissions, has been named Coordinator of Academic Information and Mary Ann
(Wiatrack) Hesse, a program secretary since last February, has been appointed to fill the
experimental post of Administrative Secretary A. The appointments were announced
Wednesday.
Moorehead, named to the new post by Provost Ed Kormondy, assumed her duties yesterday.
A student at Evergreen for the past year, she expects to earn her degree the end of this
quarter. She was appointed as special assistant to Admissions Director Ken Mayer last
July to assist with promotion of Evergreen academic programs to the Olympia-area community.
She has helped organize the Ajax Contract, a module designed for housewives in Olympia
interested in returning to higher education, and has many years experience working with
the Mills College (California) Alumnea Association. Her office will be in room 1008 of the
Laboratory Building (phone: 866-6312).
Hesse, who recently assumed her maiden name, was named to her post by Academic Dean
Rudy Martin and will assume her new duties within the next two weeks. She has worked as
business manager for the Griffin School District and as a secretary for the Intermediate
School District. In her new post, she will direct clerical support for 23 faculty members,
with the aid of one full-time office assistant and two part-time student aides. Hesse's
position is a "test case" which program secretaries worked for as a group. They felt a
need to restructure faculty clerical support, essentially giving each program secretary a
heavier faculty load, but with more clerical assistance. Her position, created for nine
months, will be evaluated throughout this academic year. Martin says it represents just
one piece of a total re-examination of the entire campus clerical system which will be i
done this year.
Also newly hired in the academic area in recent days have been five full-time office
assistants: Jeanne Wiatrack (no relation to Mary Ann), who will work with Hesse in her
new post, and Michele Jacobson, Hope Longstreet, DeAnna Smith and Keim Le, each of whom
will work half-time for two program secretaries. Le brings to Evergreen eight years
experience working at the American Embassy in Saigon. She is Evergreen's first Vietnamese
employee.

upcoming events
TEXTILES FOCUS OF NEWEST EXHIBIT
A wide array of quilts, ranging in style from contemporary, humorous works to 1870
traditional pieces, and examples of unusual and exotic clothing will fill Evergreen's Art
Gallery Nov. 2-14 in an exhibit entitled "Textiles: Traditional and Contemporary."
Organized by Evergreen Exhibits Coordinator Lynda Weinman, the exhibit will include
more than two dozen contemporary and traditional quilts, many of them family heirlooms
owned by Olympian Pat Saari, who has completed and preserved quilts sewn by her mother
and grandmother as long as 100 years ago.
"Friends of the Rag," a Seattle group whose members make, display and sell unusual
clothing, will also contribute to the exhibit, which will be displayed in the main gallery
on the second floor of the Library Building.
CHANGING FAMILY RELATIONS FOCUSES ON "WHO OWNS THE CHILDREN?"
The fourth in a series of nine workshops focusing on "Changing Family Relationships"
will examine "Who Owns the Children," in Tuesday's session slated to begin at 6:15 p.m.
at Lincoln Elementary School.
Carol Crowe of the Legal Services Office, will discuss legal rights of children in
the opening session, which will be followed by a series of mini-workshops on such topics
as: rights of parents and children in custody cases; rights of illegitimate, adopted,
institutionalized, or orphaned children to inheritance; and responsibility of social
service agencies to deal with the "total" family.
The session, co-sponsored by Evergreen, Olympia Vocational Technical Institute, Union
Street Center and the Child Care Coordinating Council, will conclude about 8:30 p.m.
following a question/answer session. Persons interested in attending the free sessions
may call 943-6260 for additional information.
GOVERNMENT, PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION TOPIC OF CAREER DAY
Representatives from county, state and federal governments will be joined by employers
and employees in the field of public administration for an all day workshop on "Government
and Public Administration," at Evergreen Nov. 5.
Sponsored by the Career Planning and Placement Office, the day-long session is
designed to acquaint Evergreen students with career possibilities in the fields represented.
Government and public administration officials will co-lead workshops for students on the
job market, resumes, job search, and interviews. Graduate school representatives will
also be on hand to discuss their programs in public service and international affairs.
The workshop, slated to begin at 9 a.m. in room 3112 of the Library Building, will
conclude with information interviews by professionals and graduate school representatives
of Evergreen students.
CHIROPRACTORS OFFER HEALTH MAINTENANCE COURSE
Four Olympia-area chiropractors will offer a six-week Health Maintenance program at
Evergreen beginning Nov. 5. Fee for the sessions, which are set for Wednesday evenings
from 7:30 to 9:30 in room 2129 of the Library, is $50 per couple.
Purpose of the program is to "try to help people take care of themselves," according
to Dr. Harry Sheafe, one of the four sponsoring chiropractors. "We work with pairs of
adults
not necessarily couples
and show them how to help each other," he adds.
"There just about has to be two persons in each group to work together on the techniques
we'll show them."
Dr. Sheafe says the discussions/demonstration sessions will concentrate on showing
participants how to "maintain the energy flow in their bodies." The chiropractors will
discuss acupressure, zone therapy, trigger points and offer muscle testing.
Working with Dr. Sheafe on the program will be Doctors Ronald Douglas, James Gould,
and Ray Davidson. For further information or registration details, call Dr. Sheafe at
943-8250.

audience evaluates
"LIVE AND RECORDED" REHEARSING FOR DRAMATIC YEAR
By Dick Nichols

When 70 Evergreen performing arts students take their "tests" during the 1975-76
academic year, they won't be only scribbling in Blue Books or spending several anxious
days wondering how they fared. In addition to huddling over desks during a hectic finals
week, these students will also be tested throughout the year on their ability to act, sing,
dance, play musical instruments, or undertake complex production assignments.
Live audiences will "grade" them and the response will be immediate. It's all part
of an advanced-level team-taught study entitled "Live and Recorded," a performing arts
program which will engage the students and their five instructors for an entire academic
year and which will feature five major productions running from late November through
mid-May.
By the time they've finished, the students not only will have experienced the sometimes
harsh reality of audience reaction but will have vastly sharpened their performing and
production skills. And, thanks to an accompanying rigorous schedule of readings, lectures
and discussions, they'll also have gained a perspective on human creativity and the role of
the performing arts as a powerful influence on 20th Century American culture.
"Live and Recorded" is designed to provide all students a progressive, coordinated
sequence of studies encompassing theater, music, film and dance—initially as single
academic disciplines, but blended together as the year progresses. In addition to working
on the major productions and completing a demanding reading list and assignments, each
student must during the course of the year present a completely-polished work to the rest
of the program. Such presentations may include short dramatic scenes, dialect plays,
readings, original music compositions and choreographies, or short films.
Several of the students—following a major dramatic production in November—will
focus some of their program activities during Winter Quarter on instruction in playwriting
and directing. By Spring Quarter, the group of about 18 then may form a traveling company
to present student-written Children's Theater productions to grade school youngsters
throughout the State of Washington, similar to an effort undertaken by Evergreen undergraduates in 1974.
"Live and Recorded" students began the academic year with systematic studies of
societal forces in America which have a direct bearing on the performing arts. With that
perspective as a background, students then began developing performing, technical theater,
and film skills by participating in classes devoted to acting, dance, instrumentation,
camera work, scene designing, costuming, and make-up. Program students will acquire
additional theoretical knowledge and further develop skills in a variety of areas through
participation in laboratory and seminar work concerned with theater, dance, music, and film.
While all of that proceeds, "Live and Recorded" students—plus others on campus
interested in joining performing groups—will begin readying the five major productions
scheduled for 1975-76. Scheduled first are Nov. 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 showings of Henrik
Ibsen's classic play on the battle of the sexes, "A Doll's House," directed by Faculty
Member and program coordinator Andre Tsai. The eight-student cast, which began rehearsals
earlier this month, will present five evening performances of the play as well as two
afternoon matinees for high school students throughout Western Washington. Following on
Dec. 2 will be a Christmas Concert, featuring the Evergreen Chamber Singers and Jazz
Ensemble, both directed by Donald Chan.

2.
"The Three Penny Opera," a musical by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, is scheduled
for March 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 performances, including both evening and two matinee showings for
high school students. Directed by Faculty Member Ainara Wilder, who has spearheaded
Evergreen's dramatic productions since 1972, the production will feature an all-student |pft
cast, along with a 23-piece orchestra. Faculty Member Pamela Schick, whose speciality is "
dance, will choreograph the production. Chan will serve as musical director.
The Chamber Singers and Jazz Ensemble will return to the stage for a Spring Concert
on April 27, again under the direction of Chan.
The year's final production, "Multi-Media Dance Concert," directed by Schick and
Faculty Member Robert Barnard, will be presented May 13, 14 and 15, with three evening
performances and one matinee scheduled. The production will bring together many aspects
of the year-long program.
TRUSTEES APPROVE SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET REQUEST; CALL FOR REPORTS
In a two-hour meeting Oct. 16 Evergreen's Board of Trustees approved a 1975-77
biennium supplementary budget request to the Governor and the 1976 special session of
the State Legislature. The request, which will be submitted to the governor's budget agency
Oct. 31, includes $4,514,600 for Phase II of the College Recreation Center (a gymnasium)
and $244,764 in additional operating funds. Board members also asked for reports from
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh on Evergreen's housing, on the possibility
and potential costs of an on-campus trailer park, and on the possibility of the college
hiring an outside team of efficiency experts/management consultants to evaluate the entire
college operation.
The request for the gymnasium was approved by the Governor in the 1975-77 Biennial
Capital Budget request, but was not approved by the Legislature. The supplementary request,
based on July 1, 1976 construction costs, is approximately $1.5 million higher than the
previous request.
The operating fund request includes $197,015 in inflation-related costs ($83,179
for postage and telephone; $77,284 for fuel and natural gas; $36,552 for library books). '
Also included are requests for $18,273 for state-mandated unemployment compensation and
$29,476 for student services programs. The latter will go primarily for personnel
a part-time credit evaluator in the Registrar's Office, student help in the Veterans
Affairs Office, restoration of a counselor's position, and additional clerical help in
Counseling Services.
In other matters, Trustees called for a public hearing at their November meeting to
consider the proposed campus habitation policy and asked Clabaugh and Director of Facilities
Jerry Schillinger to explore the costs of an on-campus park for self-contained campers.
Clabaugh asked for a policy which would "expressly prohibit overnight habitation by any
person in any place on the campus, except in facilities provided for such purposes." He
said his proposal "responds to problems we've had with people living out in the woods."
One of those students, Phil Hamilton, said he had been living in a self-contained
unit on the parking lot and felt it caused noone problems. Security Chief McDonald Smith
noted that students living in the lot had been of some help to security, particularly
in reporting car vandalism, but he felt campers were violating state and county codes.
Schillinger said his office receives "many, many requests every year for people to plug
(their vehicles) into the light standards in the parking lots." "We just don't have the
right kind of facilities," he asserted. "If you're going to permit it, there should be a
specific place for it so we can meet all the codes."
Herb Hadley, Longview trustee, cautioned that the college must be careful not to
compete with private businesses in the area (specifically trailer parks), but asked Schillinger to explore costs and plans for a mobile home park. He joked that, should such a park
be built, the Trustees would name it after Schillinger.
Assistant Attorney General Richard Montecucco received the Board's permission to
support a lay-off proposal developed by the Higher Education Personnel Board which would /
protect non-whites when reductions in force occur. As it stands, an employee's length of
service is the sole criteria for "riffing" classified staff (first hired/first fired) , he
explained. But he felt Evergreen ought to back the HEP board attempts to protect minorities
and to preserve progress made through Evergreen's Affirmative Action program. Rindy

3.
Jones, Evergreen's Affirmative Action officer, commented that the HEPB rule should be
viewed "not as preferential treatment for third world people, but as a way of maintaining
a balance of third world people within the work force."
Hadley also asked Clabaugh to report on Evergreen's housing, which is 89 percent
filled. He also said he was still interested in having an outside consulting firm investigate the college's operating efficiency. Clabaugh had talked to one firm and said he and
Provost Ed Kormondy will explore the issue further the end of this month. Hadley said
he'd like to hear some proposals "from consultants on what they might look at." Board
Chairman Hal Halvorson of Spokane indicated he had "been involved with a lot of these guys
(consultants) and, in my experience, they just cost you money."
Clabaugh promised a report at the next meeting, scheduled for Nov. 13.
KORMONDY CALLS FOR STUDENT/FACULTY SUPPORT IN RECRUITING
Vice President and Provost Ed Kormondy in a noon address Friday called on faculty
and students to "assist in the recruitment effort" of new students for next Fall. The
Provost said he was "asking for help in a general way now" and that he would do so specifically in the coming months as the college examines "what kind of student body we want" and
where to target "our admissions efforts."
He said the Admissions Office staff, "which is small, just can't do it all." "And, I
will be asking some people to work sort of as an adjunct admissions group," he added. "We
need your help."
Kormondy promised to ask students and faculty to discuss what kind of student mix
they'd like to see next fall
what percentage of students who are: (1) 1976 high school
graduates; (2) high school graduates out of school at least one year; (3) community college
transfer students, and (4) four-year college transfers. He said the high school class
of 1976 and community college students were the easiest groups at which to aim specific
recruitment efforts. "Students in the other two groups are all over the map, literally and"
figuratively, and it's almost impossible to specifically target programs for them."
The Provost briefly discussed the Fall Quarter enrollment situation and assured faculty
that, contrary to campus rumors, there will be no reductions in force this year
of
faculty or staff. He said the part-time studies enrollment had "dramatically increased
this year
from four to eight percent," and indicated pleasure that the non-white student
enrollment has continued to climb
from eight percent in 1973 to 11 percent this year.
Out-of-state enrollment has remained at 19 percent, the same as it was last year.
SOCCER SQUAD EVENS SEASON RECORD

Inside forward Jacques Zimicki scored three goals, two on long-distance strikes, to
lead Evergreen's men's team to a 5-0 Washington State Soccer League Division Two triumph
over Evered Lincoln/Mercury of Seattle last Sunday on the TESC playfield. The win gave
Evergreen a 3-3 league record, which includes a tough 4-1 win earlier in the year over the
University of Washington Soccer Club, composed of several former intercollegiate performers.
In addition to Zimichki's efforts, Evergreen also got goals from forward Dick Jones on an
18-yard shot capping a breakaway and from team coach and halfback Derek GoIdingay on a
header from a corner kick. The win was especially satisfying for Goldingay, whose father,
Jack, coaches Evered Lincoln/Mercury.
In an exhibition contest prior to the men's league match, Evergreen's women's team
routed Bainbridge Island, 8-1 behind the outstanding overall play of Karen Oakley, who scored
one goal, set up several others, and turned in an exceptional defensive performance.
Evergreen's men's team travels to Woodland Park in Seattle next Sunday to tangle with
the Continental Steelers in another league game. Nine matches remain after that, with
contests on Nov. 30, Dec. 14 and 28, and Jan. 4 scheduled at TESC, all beginning at 1:30 p.m.
on the recreation playfield.
REG BUILDING WINS AWARD
The Southwest Washington Chapter of the American Institute of Architects has selected
Evergreen's Covered Recreation Pavilion for a merit award. The building, completed in
February, 1974, was designed by Robert Price and Associates of Tacoma and constructed by

C.E. Skinner Company of Orting. It is one of only three structures chosen for this year's
architectural awards, which were presented Wednesday night. Jerry Schillinger, Evergreen
Director of Facilities, accepted the presentation.
COMPUTER SELECTS STUDENT VOLUNTEERS FOR SOUNDING BOARD

$50,000 to meet the rising costs of supporting what Elway describes as "21 critically
needed human service agencies in our community." Last year Evergreen contributed less than
one .per cent ($2471) of the total UW support and Elway hopes staff and faculty will be more

Evergreen. Featuring two women filmmakers, the sessions have been designed by Evergreen
faculty and staff women to explore all aspects of film production. Panel discussions,
demonstrations of filmmaking processes and techniques, explanation of resources, and
screening of films by and about women are all part of the program which will begin at
10 a.m. Oct. 21 in the Evans Library Building, room 3500.
Sally Clovinger and Lisa Marshall, guest filmmakers from Pennsylvania, will lead the
workshops in panel discussions examining such topics as: "Why should women make images?",
"What isithe herstory of women in film?", and "Who are the contemporary women filmmakers?"
Clovinger is currently a professor of film in the department of radio, television and
film at Temple University in Philadelphia. She has taught film and video production, film
history, and several courses on the theme of women and film. She serves on the Board of/
Directors of the University Film Association and is chairwoman of that board's Minority \p C
Collective. Her film, "Fernandina Day," the story of a female research scientist who
works alone on the Galapagos Islands, will be shown Tuesday evening.

MORE WORK STUDY MONEY AWARDED
The U.S. Office of Education, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, has
awarded Evergreen an additional $81,023 in work study funds for the 1975-76 academic year.
Financial Aid Director Kay Atwood says the supplemental grant brings the total Evergreen
work-study allotment to $242,808 for this year.
The supplemental award will fund approximately 80 jobs at $1,000 each, Atwood says.
But, she cautions, that doesn't mean the Financial Aid Office will suddenly have 80 new
work-study positions listed. "We anticipated receipt of this award, so in many cases,
positions have already been filled and will now be funded with this award," she explains.
Not all the money has been alloted, and Atwood expects about three dozen new jobs to
be listed within the next two weeks. "Budget unit heads will be working with area heads
to discuss how the remaining monies should be spent," she says. "As soon as they've agreed
on allocations, we expect to be able to list some new positions." She urges work-study
eligible students to continue to "keep in touch with our office."

of Sports.
Cleare's most recent work, filming of the new Clint Eastwood cinema adventure, was

commentary, fantasy and humor. He is viewed by the San Francisco-based "Currant Art
Magazine," as one of two major ceramic sculptors on the west coast.
His address will be accompanied by artistic slides.

ENTIRE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION ON CAMPUS WEDNESDAY
All seven of Washington State's Congressional Delegation will appear together in a

In an unprecedented appearance, the seven members of the U.S. House of Representatives

PET CONTROL TIGHTENED; WILDLIFE, LANDSCAPING THREATENED
A part-time Pet Control Officer is patrolling the campus on a regular basis this
Fall for the first time in Evergreen's history. Security Chief McDonald Smith says the
new officer was hired to crack down on wandering dogs who are damaging newly completed
landscaping and threatening the lives of on-campus wildlife.
"We've already found carcasses of two deer killed by dogs," Smith says, "and we're
continually having to replace plants destroyed by pets. I'm afraid that pets will further
endanger the lives of our other 16 deer
and our one black bear
who range throughout the wooded areas of the college."
Smith says the new Pet Control Officer is confining two or three dogs a day to the
kennels north of the Seminar Building. The dogs are held in the kennels the day they're
caught. If they're not claimed at the end of the day, the Thurston County Humane Society
takes them down to Olympia where they are held an additional seven days. If not claimed,
pets are held for sale. When claimed, owners often find themselves owing nearly $30 for
boarding and licensing fees.
"All dogs are supposed to have a county license," Smith adds. "If pets are unlicensed,
owners can't retrieve them without paying for the tags, which cost about $4. In addition
to the licenses, owners are also charged a boarding fee and often a fine as well. The
cost can total $28, which is a lot to pay for letting one pet run loose on campus."
Smith says when students come to the kennels to retrieve their pets, they're asked to
read and sign the college pet policy, which forbids animals on campus unless they're

2.

leashed. No pets are allowed in college buildings, nor is it permissible for owners to /
tie animals to trees, bike stands or other campus structures.
Students who want to bring pets to campus without a leash can board them in the
college kennel for the day. "We have covered pet houses with outside spaces for them to
move around," Smith adds. "We keep fresh water on hand, but do not supply food."
Before students take pets to the kennels, they need to pick up a lock at the Security
Office (Seminar Building 2109) to secure the pens. There is no fee for use of the campus
kennels.
SOUNDING BOARD REPRESENTATIVES CHOSEN FROM STAFF AND FACULTY
Twenty staff and faculty members have been named to one or two quarter appointments
to Sounding Board. The all-campus board, which meets Wednesdays at 8:30 a.m. in CAB 108,
is designed to "facilitate coordination of activities among all areas of the Evergreen
community," according to the Catalog. The 35-member group is also charged with making
"recommendations for action as issues pertinent to the college arise" and for constituting
a "consultative pool...where discussion and advice on issues affecting various areas in
the college can be heard and needs for coordination can be aired."
President Charles McCann is automatically a member of the board. Each Vice President
appoints ten members who also serve, also with 16 student representatives
six from
student organizations (UJAMAA, MECHA, Asian Coalition, Gay Resource Center, Women's Center,
Men's Center) and ten selected from the Voluntary Service List (VSL). Student members
have not yet been selected for Fall Quarter, though Interim Sounding Board Moderator
Marcel Hatch hopes they will be named sometime next week. He urges any interested
students to fill out the VSL list at the Information Center so their names can be fed into
the computer for random selection.
/
Hatch also says that a permanent moderator, who will serve the remainder of the
quarter, will be selected at the Oct. 22 meeting. The position is paid and interested
persons should: (1) fill out a VSL form so they are eligible to become a member of the
board, and (2) apply for the job through the Financial Aid Office.
Members appointed to the board by Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh are:
Staff Members Dick Nichols, Darrell Six, Al Hanson, Sue Feeney, Rick Tessandore, George
Horn, Sue Clark, Charen Sharar, Michelle Hayes and Keith Heaton. All have one-quarter
appointments which will be renewed for Winter unless the appointees wish to serve only
one quarter.
Provost Ed Kormondy named five persons to one-quarter appointments: Faculty Members
Kaye Ladd, Bud Johanson, and Rob Knapp and Staff Members Judy Lindlauf and Malcolm Stilson.
He also named four persons to two quarter appointments: Staff Members Betty Muncton, Ernest
(Stone) Thomas, and Terry Goetz and Faculty Member Rainer Hasenstab. He hopes by giving
only one or two quarter appointments more people will have any opportunity to participate.

CAREER PLANNING OFFERS SENIOR SEMINAR SERIES
Six programs aimed at third and fourth year Evergreen students will begin Oct. 21
under the direction of Gail Martin, coordinator of Career Planning and Placement. The
programs, to be held Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in Library room 1221, will attempt to
provide students with information necessary to successfully plan for and deal with "life
after Evergreen."
Scheduled for Fall Quarter are discussions on: "Orientation to Career Planning and
Placement Services (Oct. 21)," "Resume Writing (Oct. 28)," "Credential File or Personal t
Portfolio Preparation (Nov. 4)," "Graduate School Exploration (Nov. 11)," "Job Search
Planning (Nov. 18)," and "Interview Skills (Nov. 25)."
Martin will also coordinate a year-long program of job and graduate school information
days, a series of day-long workshops led by professional representatives from employer
organizations and graduate schools. She says morning activities during each Information

3.

Day will include discussions of the job market, job requirements, resumes and job search
strategy. Afternoons will give students opportunities to conduct informational
interviews with professional representatives on an individual basis.
Students must sign up for each Job Information Day in Martin's office, Library 1220.
Topics for the 1975-76 academic year are: "Government and Public Administration (Nov. 4),"
"Environment and Planning (Dec. 3)," "Business and Industry (Feb. 4)," "Arts and
Communications (April 14)," "Alternative Employment (May 21)," and "Counseling and Social
Services (May 26)."
CAREER SEARCH GROUPS FOEMED
Career Counselor Michelle Hayes has organized a six-part series of Career Search
Group Seminars scheduled to begin Oct. 13 and continue every Monday through Nov. 17 from
10 to 11:30 a.m. in Library 1221.
Hayes says the groups are "designed to cover basic exploratory questions and
information concerning the world of occupations." "They are not designed," she adds, "to
focus on alternative employment issues. Instead, they will concentrate on traditional
as well as non-traditional techniques to use in a career search."
The seminars will also help students focus on themselves, to help them "take charge
of their lives and make some pretty heavy decisions on what they can, want or might do
when they leave Evergreen," Hayes notes.
Topics include: Personal Style in Choosing a Career (Oct. 13), Career and Educational
Self-Appraisal (Oct. 20); Organizing a Career and Job Search (Oct. 27); How to Locate
Career Information (Nov. 3); and Exploration of Career Interest (Nov. 10). The final
seminar of the quarter, set for Nov. 17, will feature guest speakers.

"CHANGING FAMILY" FOCUS OF NEW WORKSHOP SERIES

,

The first in a series -of nine workshops focusing on "Changing Family Relationships/
Social Responsibility for Children," will be held at Evergreen Oct. 14 beginning at 5:30
p.m. in CAB 108. The Tuesday session will focus on "Adjusting to Loss of Relationships
Due to Separation, Divorce or Death," and will be coordinated by Marsha Stead, former
Evergreen program secretary and student, now working with the Child Care Coordinating
Council (4Cs).
The free, three-month series is co-sponsored by Evergreen, Olympia Vocational
Technical Institute, the Union Street Center and the 4Cs. Beth Harris, Evergreen
coordinator for the workshops, says purpose of the sessions is to "encourage people to
cooperatively deal with the problems associated with changing social situations and their
effects on the family." Each workshop is designed to "help participants gather information,
share experiences and resources, and develop an awareness of and become more responsible
to families' needs," she adds.
Each of the nine sessions will also help participants define current needs of both
parents and children, determine who is responsible to meet those identified needs,
collectively determine and recommend ways of meeting the needs, and clarify personal
commitment and responsibility for action, according to Harris.
Academic credit for the entire program is available through OVTI. Interested persons
are invited to attend all or any one or more of the sessions they select at no charge.
Child care will be provided for the meetings, which will be held in one of four locations:
Evergreen, the Department of Social and Health Services,Lincoln or Garfield Elementary
Schools.
Complete details on the program are available at the Information Center or the
Office of Student Developmental Programs, Library 1220.
EYE-5 SAXOPHONIST PERFORMS OCT. 15
Saxophonist Harvey Pittel, whose concerts embrace a musical scope including baroque
and pop, romantic and rock, will present a free public concert at Evergreen Oct. 15
beginning at 8 p.m. in Lecture Hall One.
The new Eye-5 affiliate artist for the 1975-76 season, Pittel's concert is the first
of many appearances in Western Washington.
Exploiting fully the musical and technical potentialities of an unusual concert
instrument, Harvey Pittel has won world-wide acclaim for his talent and for the saxophone.
His concerts have demonstrated to audiences and critics alike his command of
the saxophone and its several voices. "A spectacular soloist," wrote Martin Bernheimer in
the Los Angeles Times, "Playing with sometimes huge and always poised tone, spectacular
agility and the sort of technical mastery which refuses to call attention to itself."
Pittel incorporates a busy concert schedule into his regular responsibilities as
Adjunct Professor of Saxophone at the University of Southern California. He has been a
soloist with both the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and
has just completed a two-and-a-half-year term as the North American Coordinator of the
World Saxophone Congress.
RACISM TOPIC OF GUEST LECTURE THURSDAY
Patti liyama, former faculty member at the University of California at Berkeley and
head of the Third World Women's Caucus, will discuss "Origins of American Racism," Oct. 16
beginning at 10 a.m. in Lecture Hall One. liyama, who has collaborated on several books
on racism, bases her discussion on the premise that origins of racism in America are not/
found in any one individual's psyche, but rather in the structure of U.S. economy.
Her morning lecture, which is free and open to the public, is the first such
presentation by an academic program this year. The American Revolution program, developed
by Faculty Members Stephanie Coontz, York Wong and Susan Strasser, is also the first
program to initiate contact with the Newsletter. Coontz, who says her program will continueto offer guest lectures as well as other presentations of interest to everyone, has

appointed student journalist Mary Hester to keep the Newsletter and other campus media
in touch with what her program plans.
We hope faculty awareness of the need to share program information and the willingness
to initiate information dissemination will catch on. We'll welcome assistance from EVERY
program on campus. Tell us what's happening in your program
and we'll tell the world!
FIRESIGN MYSTERY LOOMS OCT. 18
Dr. Firesign's Theatre of Mystery, a two-man stage show of comedy routines and
takeoffs on vintage radio characterizations, will appear at Evergreen Oct. 18 beginning at
8 p.m. in the main Library lobby. Admission to the popular production is $3.50 per person.
Featuring Philip Austin and David Ossman, Firesign's Theatre includes songs, poems,
comedy routines, characterizations of such famous (?) radio personalities as "Nick Danger"
and "George Tirebiter," and ample opportunity for audience participation.
Austin, a playwright, actor, director, singer and humorist from Hollywood, teamed up
with Ossman, writer, poet, and radio producer, almost ten years ago when both worked for
a Los Angeles radio station as performers and directors in radio plays, comedy shows,
marathons, documentary broadcasts and readings. Since then, they have collaborated on
eight Firesign Theatre albums, including their newest release, " In the next world, you're
on your own," and each has produced his own individual album. They've also authored
magazine articles and a new book, "The Apocalypse Papers."
Tickets for the duo's only Olympia area performance will be available at the door.
DTFs, NAMED TO SCREEN FOR DEANSHIPS ;> COMPUTER SERVICES DIRECTOR

from throughout Southwest Washington will confer with admissions counselors and representatives from 13 colleges, three community colleges and two vocational-technical
institutes in a morning conference at Evergreen Oct. 9.
Conference organizer Jeannie Chandler, staff member of Evergreen's Admissions Office,
says students will select three schools from the 18 participating institutions of higher
learning. Then they will meet with representatives of those schools in three, 40-minute
sessions, running from 9:15 to 11:35 a.m.
Area high schools sending students to the conference include: Olympia, Tumwater,
North Thurston, Timberline, Yelm, St. Placids, Rainier, Quinalt, Shelton, and Elma.
Admissions representatives will participate from Central, Western and Eastern Washington
State Colleges; Fort Wright, St. Martin's, Evergreen and Whitworth Colleges; Pacific
Lutheran, Gonzaga and Seattle Universities; Washington State University; the University

Centralia, Highline, and Tacoma Community Colleges and from Bates and Clover Park
Vocational-Technical Institutes.
...ANTI-FLOURIDE SPEAKER TO OFFER PUBLIC ADDRESS...Dr. John A. Yiamouyiannis, a nationally
known authority on the biological effects of flouride, will discuss the "Cancer Hazards in
Our Drinking Water," in a free public address at Evergreen Oct. 7 at 3:30 p.m. in Lecture
Hall Three. Dr. Yiamouyiannis, an active member of the anti-flouridation movement, has
served as science director of the National Health Federation since last fall. He has
testified as a witness at environmental hearings before various governmental agencies and
has co-authored a report on the effects of flouridation with Dr. Dean Burk, former staff
member of the U.S. National Cancer Institute. The report was delivered to the U.S. House
of Representatives this summer and recommended "...immediate suspension of all artificial
flouridation pending further investigation."
...CAMPUS RADIO EXPANDING LISTENING AREA...Evergreen campus radio station KAOS (89.3 on
the F.M. dial) is testing its new 250-watt transmitter which students hope will soon
enable listeners to tune in from as far west as Shelton, east as Nisqually and south as
Tumwater. The station, managed and operated by students, is broadcasting from 7 a.m. to
1 a.m. weekdays and nearly 24-hours a day on weekends. Program formats include news,
music and special presentations, which Station Manager Randy Harrison hopes will, in part,
come from Evergreen-Olympia community persons interested in using the station.
"We're opening programming to all our listeners," he says. "We hope people will take
the opportunity to get involved in program suggestions and even perhaps in preparing
programs for the air." Harrison says he hopes listeners will also take advantage of the
station's public service department for airing their special notices. Interested persons
can call Harrison at 866-5267 weekdays for more details.
...CHAMBER MUSICIANS SOUGHT...Accomplished woodwind, brass, string or percussion instrumentalists are being sought by faculty musician Greg Steinke to help re-form the Evergreen

tentatively plans to hold rehearsals Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
Persons interested in joining the orchestra are invited to attend an organization
meeting Oct. 6 at 4 p.m. in the fourth floor Seminar Building lounge, to contact Steinke
by phone (866-6610), or sign up at his office, Seminar room 4121.

all's quiet
LIBRARY ROOF LEAKS NO MORE

The jack hammers are finally quiet. The odor of tar has stopped floating through
the corridors and the angular four-story cement pump has disappeared from the courtyard
outside Student Services. The Library Building roof is fixed. And the gallons of water
that lay between the roof and the ceiling are gone.
Campus Architect Bill Knauss says Byrd Construction of Olympia finished repair work
on the Library this week, ending a 21-day project
and four frustrating years of
battling leaks that damaged ceiling tiles throughout the third floor of the Library.
The problem originated in the walking deck on the roof of the Library. "It just
didn't work like it should have," Knauss says. "The water-proof membrane which was
supposed to seal the roof didn't hold up against the pressure of pedestrian travel. Also,
the flashing (metal devices meant to waterproof the joint between the quarry tile and
exposed roofing) didn't work. Water built up under the tile and traveled to low spots
in the ceiling, then began to seep through."
Knauss says every building is, in a sense, an experimental prototype and like all
experiments, there are often unexpected problems. "When you're building an airplane, you
build one prototype and test and retest it until all the bugs are ironed out," he explains.
"Then you build lots more planes just like it. With buildings, you don't have the chance
to build a prototype first. The building is the experimental model. With the Library,
the experiment had a problem: the asphalt which was used to seal it."
A similar walking deck installed on the roof of the Laboratory Annex, also, in a
sense, an experiment, worked out perfectly. The difference in the two was that asphalt
with a lower melting point was used on the Lab deck.
"The low melting point asphalt melts in the summer and automatically seals any leaks
which may have developed," he says. "So, what we had to do to repair the Library roof
was remove everything on the roof
clear down to the structural concrete
and replace
the asphalt with the same type used on the Lab Annex."
The $15,000 repair job was more complicated (and messy) than it sounds. First a
crew of men with jackhammers tore through the quarry tile deck. Then they removed the
insulation and finally, the old asphalt. Once they got down to the structural concrete,
they applied a new layer of lower melting point-type asphalt (which, by the way, doesn't
smell any better), then added a protective layer of flooring material composed of asphaltimpregnated fiber-board, and topped it with a new concrete deck. They also replaced the
metal flashing, which had covered roof joints, with concrete curb.
All in all, it was a difficult task, but one that will be greatly appreciated by
third floor Library dwellers who will no longer have to avoid bumping into sloshing
garbage buckets full of water.
Roses to Facilities Director Jerry Schillinger, to Knauss, and to the Byrd Construction
crew.
"ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY A" —

A TEST, CASE FOR PROGRAM SECRETARIES

An innocuous pink job bulletin was published Monday by the Personnel Office seeking
applications for "Administrative Secretary A," a post open only to permanent status
Evergreen employees. Behind the pink sheet lies months of deliberations and compromising
by the entire staff of program secretaries, Academic Dean Rudy Martin, and Personnel
Director John Moss.

2.
The problem, as they seemed to see it, was a need to restructure faculty clerical
support, staying within the limits of the college budget and within job descriptions
approved by the Higher Education Personnel Board. At first, the team proposed reclassiff ,g
all program secretaries and providing them with additional help. The college couldn't
afford it. Then they decided to develop a "test case," the Administrative Secretary A
position. There are no similar positions on campus and the post is higher paid than a
Secretary IV. The salary range is from $753 to $966 per month compared to program
secretary range of $619 to $792 per month.
In order to even create such a post, all of the secretaries agreed to take on heavier
loads this year so money was available to fund the higher-paid administrative position.
The plan calls for one person to be hired (perhaps, but not necessarily, the one will be
from among the total nine program secretaries). He or she will have one full-time office
assistant and two program aides and will handle clerical support for 22 faculty members
(last year's average program secretary load was ten faculty). The other program secretaries
will handle an average faculty load of 14, with the assistance of one half-time clerk
typist and one 15-hour-per-week aide. In addition, two "floating aides" will be asked to
lighten loads of all program secretaries as needs arise. A key to the test case,
according to Martin, is the employment of the five full-time clerk typists
one
assigned full-time to the Administrative Secretary; the other four assigned half-time
,
to each of the eight program secretaries. These positions are new and hopefully will
make the increased faculty work load more manageable.
Martin stresses that the new post is initially a ten-month assignment and that the
whole experiment will be carefully evaluated at the end of this academic year before any
further steps are taken. He adds that the test case is just one piece of a total
re-examination of the entire campus clerical system which will be done this year in
cooperation with both vice presidents and their staffs. In the meantime, he urges
faculty cooperation and says "everyone's work load will be heavy," but the clerical staff
is willing to "suffer" in order to complete their test case. Applications were due
yesterday and it is hoped the post will be filled by Oct. 15.
KAOS TESTING NEW TRANSMITTER, EXPANDING LISTENING AREA
The new 250-watt transmitter installed for campus radio station KAOS (89.3 F.M. dial)
has undergone testing this week and Station Manager Randy Harrison reports all is going
well, thus far. The new transmitter will enable the station to expand its listening
audience west to Shelton, east to Nisqually, and south to Tumwater. Harrison hopes the
broadcast range may prove to be even greater, but until further testing is completed,
he just won't know.
KAOS has pretty much resumed full-time operations for Fall Quarter. Broadcast hours
are from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. weekdays and "nearly" 24-hours a day on weekends.
Harrison
says the station is still training new staff members and finalizing program plans. He
has the able assistance of Tom Russell as program director and Brad Furlong as news
director and hopes others within the community will become involved in the station "not
just in announcing, but also in news reporting, engineering and other facets of our
operation."
"We'd like to open programming to the Evergreen-Olympia community," he says. "We
hope to work with academic programs that may want to share their work with our audience.
We also hope everyone will take advantage of opportunities we have for public service
announcements."
Persons interested in helping with the station
or in just getting their messages
across
are invited to stop by and talk to Harrison in room 304 of the College
Activities Building.
SOUNDING BOARD RESUMES OCT. 8

(

Interim Sounding Board Moderator Marcel Hatch reports the SB will resume meeting
Oct. 8 at 8:30 a.m. in CAB room 108. He says both vice presidents have appointed
their quota of staff and faculty members to the board (20 in all), but adds student
members are still being sought. Interested students are urged to fill out a Voluntary
Service List form (available at the Information Center) and sign up now so student
members can be selected as soon as possible.

UPCOMING EVENTS
"DAY IN THE PARK" TOMORROW
All Evergreeners and particularly students new to the college this year are inyited to "A Day in the Park," an outdoor event scheduled Saturday in downtown Olympia.
Sponsored by the Thurston County Bicentennial Committee and the Olympia Downtown association, the event will involve a music festival in Sylvester Park (across from
Miller's Department Store and Penney's
Legion and Capitol Way).
The festival, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will feature a variety of performing
groups, from small ensembles to large bands. Though billed as a "Welcome to Olympia"
for college students at Evergreen, St. Martin's and Olympia Vocational-Technical
Institute, Saturday's "Day in the Park" is really intended as a community festival. So,
pack a picnic lunch, pray for sunshine, and head for the park for a day of good music,
relaxation, and pleasant conversation.

DYNAMIC NETSTERS REVENGE DEFEAT
Avenging an earlier defeat, the interinstitutional whatever-it-is office duo of
Don Sturgill and Ward Sangren have won Round Two in the continuing saga of the Evergreen
Invitational Doubles Tennis Championship. Sturgill and Sangren, slashing and smashing
the ball with a fervor only vengeance could stimulate, defeated the ruling Kings of
the Court, Les Eldridge and Keith Pailthorp, 7-9, 6-0, 6-3. And, though the match was
difficult, it was mere child's play compared to the task of getting Eldridge to
surrender the traveling trophy, symbolic of tennis superiority (??) on the third floor
of the Library Building.
"We whupped 'em,"panted the winners. "We were outplayed by a pair of hustling,
dedicated, virtuous athletes," said Eldridge. "In other words, it was a fluke!"
Yes, the two teams will meet again
Ho hum....
$220 IN CASH RECOVERED
Housing Director Ken Jacob reports his "faith in people continues to grow." Jacob
said a student lost $220 in cash last week in the College Activities Building. He had
already paid his tuition, but was planning to spend his money, earned at SAGA, for
Housing, When he lost the money, he asked Ken to be relieved of his housing contract,
which required that he withdraw from college.
Before he could complete withdrawal, his money turned up
all of it. Someone
found it on the CAB stairs, turned it in to the Information Center, which in turn
delivered it to Security.
Ken says he was "really moved" by the student's story. "We can trust, care and
respect one another," he says, "and this time, a student gets to stay another quarter
as a result." Nice going, Evergreeners.
